Shitty IRC Clopfics

Carmine awoke to the sounds of Fluttershy's birds chirping away outside his home. He had moved into an empty cottage not far from where the yellow pegasus lived, and found that her animals would often frequent by his place, not that Carmine minded. In fact, he sort of liked it, apart from the fact that they seemed to like defecating on his yard, but the wildlife did make for a nice view in the mornings when he looked out of his windows.

Stretching his body out, he walked down the stairs and helped himself in the kitchen, savoring the scent of the freshly brewed fresh cup of real coffee. He took a long, slow sip letting the warmth kick-start his insides and wake him up as he prepared for the day ahead.

Pinkie was still asleep upstairs worn out after their previous night's escapades. They had both decided to try and have some fun-times with Wlah. They had decided to try and play a game with him by doing it without him finding out. This made them find time to fool around in the strangest of places. In the water-tower, down a rabbit-hole, in a closet in somepony else's home (happened to be Yip's), and even underwater in the spa.

Failed every time. Somehow Wlah would always be there, his steel gray eyes boring down on them -- and always when they were about to climax, so there was no option but to finish. Well, there was, but who would stop themselves having an orgasm in the heat of the moment? That aside, the navy blue pony would also appear in a such a way that it'd surprise his victims in such a way that it's amplify the orgasm.

"How does he do that?" Carmine muttered, shaking his head.

A knock on the door broke his train of thought and he opened it to see Derpy standing there.

"What's up, bubble-butt?"

"Mail for you."

Carmine took it, and opened the enveloped as Derpy flew off. Carmine caught the sight of her sex as she swooshed her tail to the side in a reflex to maintain her balance. Instantly he got hard. He had been rather easily turned on as of late. He wondered why that was, but didn't complain. The more time he got to spend inside his new marefriend the better.

Not wanting to waste this opportunity, he spun around slamming the door shut with his own tail and galloped up the stairs to where Pinkie lay down sprawled out across his bed on her back. Her head was on the pillow, so her muzzle was rubbing against the head of the bed.

He grinned as he rubbed the tip of his cock against her wide open flower, working it gently around her labia. Pinkie let out a low moan spreading her legs further apart as Carmine continued to stimulate her sex. After a few minutes of teasing her, he placed the edge of his hoof on her clitoris and began to massage it gently. Instinctively Pinkie began to rub against his hoof, moving her hips to grind against his appendage, her head tilting forwards slightly but her eyes still shut tightly.

Knowing fully his mare's quirks, Carmine stopped what he was doing and saw Pinkie frown for a moment before her head leaned back against the bed and her slow steady breathing restarted as she once again fell asleep. Then, carefully carmine slid his now freshly lubricated cock inside her. She let out a quiet moan as he worked his way into her slowly, pulling it back just as the juices started to run dry and rub raw. Every passing attempt got himself deeper and deeper into the mare, and yet Pinkie did not stir. She lay there with her legs spread wide open, a smile appearing along the corners of her lips.

In and out Carmine went, pumping his cock slowly. He did not want to wake his mare. Not yet, at least. He knew Pinkie and her body very well now. He knew how to pleasure his marefriend just right. He could see her mouth breathing in faster and faster, her cheeks began to redden in color, and her pussy started to squeeze on his colthood, tightening around the shaft, her body massaging it naturally in order to receive his seed.

Carmine fought the urge to ejaculate, pulling his cock out and letting it remain outside his mare until the feeling subsided, before sliding back inside her. This time he easily slid all the way into her, and Pinkie opened her mouth and inhaled a deep breath as she shuddered and shook. She let out a loud moan and hugged her pillow tightly before turning around and fell asleep on her side, the angle of which forced Carmine out of her body.

"That's not fair, Pinkie. You can cum and I can't?" Carmine scolded quietly, smirking to himself. She was just too adorable.

As if on cue, Pinkie's tail curled over her flank, revealing her tight plothole. Carmine spat in his hoof and carefully rubbed his saliva along her anus, being careful not to wake the mare. Instead he was pleasantly surprised when she leaned more towards her belly exposing her precious rear to him. She gurgled a little and folded her legs up, grabbing the end of her tail with her hooves and suckling on the tip of it -- a common habit of young foals. The folded up legs completely exposed her flank to him, baring her holes for him, and her suckling had conveniently moved her tail away.

Unable to resist, he rub his tip against her anus making the mare fold herself more, spreading her hole open vertically and her flank cheeks apart as she hugged her hindlegs with her front hooves. Carmine's saliva wasn't enough, so Carmine quickly dipped the tip of his cock into Pinkie's soaking wet pussy before rubbing once more against her passage and slowly working it into her body. As soon as the tip pushed past, Pinkie's legs swung back and she clenched with all her might. The suddenness of the grip made Carmine howl in ecstasy and he looked down to see Pinkie looking up at him, a coy smile on her face.

"Good morning, darling," Carmine said as he lowered her head and kissed the pink mare's flushed cheek, "you're as beautiful as ever."

Pinkie didn't respond with words, she turned her head and pressed her lips against his slipping her tongue into his mouth. Even this time in the morning, Pinkie's breath tasted like sweet cakes as she breathed into his mouth, and he relished her flavor. Carmine placed his hooves around the mare and pulled her downwards along the bed, closer to him, his penis slipping deeper into her. She pulled away and let out a squeak of pleasure and pulled Carmine's mane as she once more ran her tongue into his mouth.

"Carmie," she whispered in his ear as they broke their kiss, "do it harder... my plot wants your cream for breakfast..."

Like a good boy, Carmine obliged. Placing his hooves on either side of her, he slid himself deep into the mare and began move just the base of his cock in and out of her, before pulling it right to the tip and doing the same. He kept altering the two ends of his penis until he climaxed. At that point, he rammed in deep into Pinkie's plot and moved slowly as Pinkie squeezed her coltfriend's member, moving her flank in small circles.

"Nummy..." Pinkie said, and licked carmine's muzzle, "that's delicious."

"I'm... glad... you... liked it..." Carmine replied between breaths.

"Ponyville!" The station master announced, "Welcome to Ponyville."

The platform was deserted except for a ash gray pony sitting on a bench as Lucefudu stepped off. He looked around and smiled at the quaintness of the place. The station was quaint, the platform was quaint, the benches were quaint, the station master was quaint...

"The fuck you lookin' at?" The ash gray pony asked.

Now that wasn't quaint at all.

"Um... beg your pardon?"

"I said, 'the fuck you lookin' at'? Stop staring at me."

"Sorry... I was just admiring how quaint everything... my name's Lucefudu."

"Tap. Pleasure."

Lucefudu waited for a moment for him to say something else. When he didn't, he continued, "So... um... I'm lookin' for somepony."

"As long as it's not Wlah, I'm cool with helping. If it's Wlah, go find somepony to fuck and he'll find you."

Lucefudu didn't quite know how to take that. Instead he tried to speed things up. The sooner he got the answer he needed, the sooner he could get away from this foulmouthed pony. "W-well, no. I'm looking for a pony named Carmine. Have you heard of him?"

"Yes. I've heard of him. Black earth pony. Reddish mane?"

"Dark gray..." Lucefudu saw Tap staring at him with a bored expression for a long moment without speaking, "Sorry..."

"Are you done talking? Do you have anymore things you want to say?"

"No..."

"Then shut up. If you want to find Carmine, head over to his place. Exit the station, take a right, then take your fourth left, then the second right, up the hill, second left, past the big tree, then straight on through until you see a house with a blue roof. You get that?"

Lucefudu shook his head.

"Fine! I'll take you. Follow me."

"Here you go," Tap pointed at the front door to the house, "See, that wasn't so complicated?"

"I am so lost..." Lucefudu admitted.

Tap shrugged, "Well, if you need to head into town... you know what, why don't you just use your wings and fly there." The ash gray pony stalked off grumbling to himself.

Lucefudu could have sworn the pony said 'fucking pegasi' as he stalked off in a huff.

With his heart in his throat, Lucefudu pressed the doorbell with the tip of his hoof and stood back. He heard somepony running down some stairs and the door swung open. A pink mare grinned at him, "Oh hello there stranger! My name's Pinkie Pie! Are you new around here?"

"I-I'm sorry, I'm looking for Carmine..."

Pinkie turned around and took a deep breath, "Carmie! Somepony's here to see you! Carmie? Carmie! Caaaaarmieeeee!"

"Alright, Pinkie! I'm coming, I'm... coming..." Carmine's voice died in his throat as he saw the stallion standing at the door. He stopped where he was and for a moment didn't move. "Lucy?"

"Hello, Carmine."

Another long awkward silence.

"Why don't you come on in, Lucy," Pinkie said, gesturing to him towards the living room, "Make yourself at home."

"... and so, that's why I'm here. I sold everything, and decided to settle in a small quiet town. I picked Ponyville because it seemed like the perfect place. Near two big cities, yet somehow left alone by the two. City life is such a hectic place, it's hard for a writer to find his niche..."

"Why here, Lucy?" Carmine asked, suddenly interrupting his story. He was sitting in the corner, seemingly very interested in his cup of coffee which he held between his hooves.

Again that long awkward silence.

"Carmie, you hafta let him talk..."

"No, Pinkie, you don't understand... Lucy was... is... my..."

"I'm his wife. Well, husband-wife. We're married."

Pinkie's jaw dropped to the floor.

"No, no! We're separated..." Carmine said standing up and diving to Pinkie's hooves, "He means nothing to me anymore, only you do!"

"I..." Pinkie stood up, leaped over the grovelling Carmine and out the door. She never once looked back.

"Pinkie! Wait!" Carmine called after her, but she was gone even before he could even take a step out the door.

Lucefudu's voice purred behind him, "Pink, hm?"

Carmine whipped around, tears in his eyes, "I hate you!"

The pink pegasus stallion shrugged, "It's your fault for not coming clean. You should've told her. In fact, that's the first thing you should've told her."

"I thought I'd never see you again!" Carmine fell to his knees, "I never wanted to see you again..."

Lucefudu knelt down and pulled Carmine's chin up so that he faced him, "Neither did I, but I guess life has a way of changing things."

Carmine did not resist as Lucefudu planted his lips onto his, their tongues finding their way into each others' mouths. Nor did Carmine resist when Lucefudu licked his chest, pulling him up to a standing position, and neither did he complain when Lucefudu's mouth went lower and lower until they wrapped themselves firmly around his shaft, his tongue licking the underside of his body until he was fully erect. Carmine did not protest at all as he shoved Lucefudu onto his sofa and rammed his cock deep inside his 'wife's' rectum, fucking 'her' with all his might.

"I missed you too..." Lucefudu whispered, pulling Carmine into a tight and loving embrace, "I missed you so much."

They held one another tightly as Carmine released himself into Lucefudu.

Dirty.

That's what Carmine felt as he stood in the shower letting the hot water wash over him. His thoughts replaying what he had just done. He fucked his wife. He had sex him up as hard as he could mere seconds after Pinkie had run out on him. He didn't even chase the pink earth pony, his pink pegasus partner was downstairs napping.

The thought of his cock pulling in and out of the Lucefudu's tight rear excited him, and he hated it. He fought the urge to allow his member to inflate and when that was failing he turned the water on as cold as possible. It didn't help. He hated how turned on he was to 'her'. Lucefudu's tail was immaculate. His mane was done perfectly, and worst of all were those golden-yellow eyes that were like tiny bright suns staring deep into his soul.

Lucefudu and Pinkie could have been twins! He had not realized how close their coats were. Both were pink, but while Pinkie's was a bright light pink, Lucefudu's was slightly darker, almost as dark as Pinkie's mane, but it was the style of the mane that got to him. Carmine loved Pinkie's puffy hairdo, but there was something about Lucefudu's curls. He loved them, and the way she would swing them whenever she...

"He's a stallion for fucks sake!" Carmine roared, punching the wall, breaking a tile, "He! He! Not a she!"

"Carmine?" A voice called from downstairs, "Is everything alright?"

Carmine's erection turned solid at the sound of Lucefudu's voice. His outburst must have woken her up. Even with ice-cold water, he could not deny just how sultry and feminine that voice was. He wanted to put his cock into that mouth, between those perfect lips...

"No!" Carmine yelled again and dropped to his knees, "Pinkie... I'm so sorry..."

"Carmine, are you talking to yourself again?" Lucefudu's voice admonished.

Just then a doorbell rang. Curiously Carmine poked his head out of the bathroom door and listened.

"... oh, hello, Pinkie. Welcome back."

"Hi, Lucy! Where's Carmie?"

"He's upstairs. He's getting himself all cleaned up."

"Oh? Did he do you?"

There was a giggle, "... and yes, he did 'do' me."

Carmine leaped down the stairs and towards the front door, but it was closed. He turned and walked into the living room to see Pinkie and Lucefudu sitting together and smiling.

"Pinkie! I'm so sorry... I should've told you about Lucy."

"That's okay, Carmie. I figured that you'd want some alone time with your wife. Anyway, I've come back to party!" With that, Pinkie stood up grinned, "We're going to have a threesome!"

"We are? That does sound like fun!" Lucefudu said standing up and clopping his hooves together, "The more the merrier!"

"The more the merrier!" Pinkie echoed.

Carmine stood there stunned. Two pink mares... well, as far as he was concerned, they were both mares, wanting to have a threesome with him? Celestia be praised! Luna be praised! Fausticorn be praised! Tap be praised!

For some reason, Carmine felt really sick in the stomach after the last pony's name, but he ignored it. It was time to...

Pinkie pinned Carmine to the floor, "Lick my pussy!" she yelled and shoved her marehood right into his face.

"Right down to business, eh? I like this mare," Lucefudu said, and walked over to Pinkie and licked her cheek.

Carmine watched as Lucefudu and Pinkie started making out. He saw their tongues intertwining, their lips caressing one anothers', and their hooves exploring every inch of their bodies. Not only did Carmine get real hard -- so hard in fact that it felt like his cock would have burst open from the amount of blood pulsating through his member, but he nearly finished before it started.

"Pinkie, lookit what we have here?" Lucefudu said, and touched Carmine's tip.

A long, breathless moan escaped his lips.

"How many times did he cum with you, Pinkie?" Lucefudu asked.

"Just once. You?"

"Once as well... and look how hard this is..."

The next thing Carmine knew was a warm sensation around his member. He tried to lean forwards out of reflex, but Pinkie's pussy was in his face and her entire body weight was too heavy for him to lift with just his neck. He was pinned down as he felt the warmth descend down his shaft, further and further.

"Ooh, wow! That's pretty good! Can I try?"

"Of course!"

Pinkie stood up, much to Carmine's disappointment, and turned around before sitting back down on his face, her pussy perfectly fitting on his mouth again... much to Carmine's delight. Then he felt Lucefudu hand Pinkie his cock and felt the mare suck on him like a lollipop. Moments later he felt another sensation around his balls as Lucefudu explored his nut sack with his mouth, suckling on his marbles, polishing them with his tongue. This went on for a few delicious minutes.

"Lick his plot, Lucy."

Lucefudu did as he was told, and began licking Carmine's hole. He shuddered and gasped for breath before burying his face into his mare's plot once more.

"Oh, Lucy, give me yours. It looks so lonely."

Carmine turned his head to see Pinkie sucking his wife's cock. Her head delicately bobbing on the pink pegasus' member. He watched as the wings on Lucefudu's back remained stiff, and wide open. He saw the expression on Pinkie's face as she took his length within her mouth. Carmine felt Luce's mouth around his member again and he threw his head back in ecstasy, using his hooves to pull Pinkie's flank onto his face. Pinkie was sucking Lucefudu's cock, while he sucked Pinkie's pussy while Lucefudu mouth-fucked him.

Pinkie moaned as Carmine breathed in her scent. He sucked out her juices. He wanted more. More!

"Wait! I want a cock too!" Pinkie said, interrupting everything. She ran over to a cupboard and pulled out a vial of special fluid and drank from it. The vial that was given to her by Twilight. The reaction was almost instant as the potion took effect. Pinkie felt the familiar tug of skin and muscle as her clitoris grew forming her infamous clit-cock.

She eyed Lucefudu, and spat on her hoof, rubbing it over the tip, "Bend over."

Lucefudu did as she was told raised her plot into the air. Pinkie spat on the hole that lay bare before her and rubbed the end of her phallus against the entrance. Carmine watched the two mares begin fucking one another and he nearly came on the spot by himself, but the two mares weren't done yet. Lucefudu walked over to Carmine and turned around so his rear faced Carmine's body as he lay on his back. Then, slipping her cock into Carmine's anus, Pinkie straddled and sat down on Carmine's erection into her pussy.

So, Lucefudu was fucking Carmine's ass backwards with his cock between his legs, Carmine was fucking Pinkie's pussy as she straddled his member on the sofa, and Pinkie's clit-cock was firmly embedded into Lucefudu's anus. It was like a triangle. The Triforce of Sodomy.

All three began moving trying to get themselves and each other to climax at the same time. That didn't happen. Carmine climaxed first, spraying his seed into Pinkie's pussy. The sight of Pinkie fucking his wife was too much for him. He had a serious problem when it came to the color pink. He shuddered as Pinkie squeezed his cock hard around his member, milking it expertly with her vaginal muscles.

At this, Pinkie pulled Lucefudu closer to her, the thick clit-cock forcing its way deep into the pegasus' body.

"Oh sweet, sweet, Luna!" Lucefudu moaned and fell to her face, raising her rear high up into the air before pushing backwards as hard as she could into Carmine's plot.

He felt his wife's seed spray into his abdomen moments later as she shuddered from an orgasm most likely instigated by Pinkie's clit-cock. Pinkie hammered into Lucefudu for a good solid minute before throwing her head back and flashing a wide grin, the tips of her mane were straight from her sweat. In a flash, Pinkie pulled her clit-cock out of Lucefudu and threw the pink pegasus next to Carmine and showered them both with her love-juice. It tasted like cotton-candy, which Carmine relished, and licked it from Lucefudu's body greedily.

"That was fun! But I got to go help bake some cakes with the Cakes, so... later!" And with that, Pinkie was up and out the front door, and happily making her way home, leaving the couple alone together in the afterglow.

And for the first time since he had seen his wife reappear, Carmine felt happy and content and showed her by kissing her cheek.

"I... I'm glad you're here, Lucy."

Tears formed in the corner's of Lucefudu's eyes, "Thank you, Carmie. You don't know how much that means to me."

It had been a month since Lucefudu had moved in. It had become comfortable and awesome. Carmine's life could never have been better. He was one lucky stallion. He had a beautiful pink pegasus wife, a beautiful pink earth pony girlfriend, and they both loved fucking him and each other. In fact, it had now come to a point where they could not really have a good orgasm without the third pony's presence.

And Lucefudu made friends all around town. Everypony loved him. There wasn't a pony in town who had anything bad to say about the mare-stallion. In fact, he even started gaining a fan-club of his own. Even Rainbow Dash started taking note of just how many followers the pink pegasus was gaining against her own posse. Not that Rainbow minded. She was still far more popular.

Lucefudu spent most of her time helping out at Rarity's boutique. Being from the big city, Lucefudu knew fashion and style quite intimately and could help Rarity form her ideas, and together they were dictating what the next 'in' thing was going to be. It was just a shame that Rarity held all the talent in the creation department, but Lucefudu was content in taking a backseat to the white unicorn's popularity, and would even go as far as avoid any special recognition. That annoyed Carmine a little, but no matter how much they talked about, Lucefudu refused to budge. It was weird because he was never like that in the past. In fact, that was one of the few reasons that Carmine left Lucefudu in the first place. Carmine couldn't make up his mind whether he liked that about his new marefriend, or hated it.

Most of the stallions in town were always trying to get inside Lucefudu's plot. Many a time Carmine had to get a little rough with his words when another stallion didn't get the message and tried to get a little lovin'. This gradually became so frequent, that Carmine wanted to lock poor Lucefudu in his home. Still, being part mare, Lucefudu did put his hoof down when Carmine got a little too possessive for his liking. Still, the pink stallion did not complain about the extreme protectiveness of his husband, and usually kept silent.

Although, not many stallions were really intimidated by it.

The thing was, everything about the pinky pegasus pony spelled 'mare', yet he had a decently sized penis between his legs and wasn't afraid to use it. So, he was a curiosity for many of the ponies in and out of town. What made his especially popular was his kindness that rivaled that of the Element of Kindness herself. The things she would do for everypony, and in the short time that Lucefudu lived in Ponyville, he had become a much loved member of the community. Everypony loved him.

Especially Carmine.

A crack of lightning and the rumble of thunder snapped Carmine out of his reverie.

"I'm worried about Lucy, Carmie... it's been raining really hard today," Pinkie squeaked, putting another plate on the table. They were going to have a romantic dinner, just the three of them.

Carmine smiled, "Don't worry, Pinkie. Lucy's probably on her way home as we speak. She should be here any moment now."

Despite his words, in his gut Carmine was worried. Thoughts of Lucefudu getting lost in the Everfree and being attacked by timberwolves or getting attacked by a bunch of sexually frustrated ponies at the edge of town or him deciding it was time to leave and was now waiting for a train at the station all flitted through his mind.

The sense of relief that flooded through him as somepony knocked on the door calmed him and angered him at the same time. How could Lucefudu make him worry like this?

He saw Pinkie giving him a look, "S-s-see? I told you... now, I'm going to give that mare a piece of my mi-"

The rain outside may had been heavy, but Carmine could clearly tell the pony standing outside his door was not only not a pegasus, but he was a he as gray as gray could be, and there was not a hint of pink anywhere. Carmine made a face. He did not like this pony.

"Carmine."

"Tap."

"Can I come in?"

Something in his voice made it clear that 'no' was an unacceptable answer, so Carmine stepped aside as Tap made his way into the house.

"Oh, hi Tappy!" Pinkie chimed, "Want something to drink?"

"No, Pinkie. Please, both of you, take a seat."

Carmine looked at Pinkie, who looked equally confused, but the two sat down on the sofa next to one another in front of the gray pony.

There was a long moment of silence, broken only by the rain outside pattering on the ground. Taking a deep breath, Tap opened mouth and began to speak. What Tap said changed everything.

Everything.

The morning was bleak and gray. The rainclouds remained where they were as everypony in Ponyville was too shocked about the news. None were more surprised than Carmine and Pinkie who were sitting in the hospital trying to piece together what exactly happened.

"We tried everything we could," Dr. Stable said, "but his disease had progressed too far."

Carmine shook his head in denial, "Can't be. S-she was perfectly find yesterday! We saw her off in the morning..."

Dr. Stable placed a hoof on Carmine's, "I understand. But... his -er- her heart gave out. Nopony, not even her, could have predicted it."

"She never told me... us! She never told us... I had no idea... she was sick..."

"Will you be okay?" The doctor asked.

Carmine shook his head. Pinkie was still weeping into his shoulder, shuddering every few seconds as she tried to catch her breath. In the background, an ash gray pony stood stoically. He did not say anything, he did not do anything, he just stood there passively.

"I know it's... it's sudden, and I know that it's silly considering her reputation... but it is the law in Equestria. You need to go with Mr. Tap and identify... her."

Looking up slowly, Carmine turned his head to the doctor, then to Tap, whose expression still remained unchanged.

"As her only reference and contact in Ponyville, you have to do it..." Dr. Stable continued, but Carmine wasn't listening. His mind was full of memories of the pink Pegasus, so full of life...

"Carmie?" Pinkie whispered, "I don't wanna go."

"It's okay, I-I'll go alone," Carmine replied and stood up, "Lead the way."

Tap nodded, turned and pushed the door to the Doctor's office open letting Carmine out. The two of them then proceeded down the hall, down the flight of stairs, and out the rear entrance towards a very non-descriptive looking building at the very back of the hospital grounds surrounded by an equally non-descriptive looking fence surrounded by non-descriptive looking trees.

The sign on the only door read:morgue.

Looking down at Lucefudu's face, Carmine ran a hoof along her neck. He looked like she was sleeping peacefully. He looked like He could awaken at any moment, stand up and embrace him. But he felt ice cold to the touch. There was no life in her.

Tap stood off to the side patiently as Carmine stood there unable to do or say anything. The tears did not stop.

After a long, long while, Carmine looked up at Tap and nodded.

And Tap replaced the white cloth on the pink pegasus' face.

"... and he came to us and changed our lives forever. Lucefudu was sweet, kind, gentle, a little naughty." That brought some giggles, painful because of how happy the memories were, "We will miss your laughter, your voice... everything. We will always hold a special place in our hearts for you. Thank you for being a part of our lives."

There was no applause. There wasn't a need. Twilight stepped back after her speech, and hugged Carmine and Pinkie in silence.

For a moment nopony moved.

Then Carmine stepped forward.

"I'm... not real good at speaking, so I'm going to make this short." He took a deep breath, "Lucy, thank you for everything. I hated you when you first came here, but you reminded me why I fell for you in the first place. I will never understand why you never told us about your heart, but I think I can guess. You didn't want me, or any of us, to constantly worry about your health. You came here to live the rest of your days in peace... and I... I was such an ass!" Carmine choked back the urge to cry. He needed to finish what he had to say, "You were like a bright flame. You brunt so bright, and so quick that you were here and gone in the blink of an eye... yet you revealed so much. Especially to me. Thank you, my love... and goodbye."

Then the tears came for real, and Pinkie held Carmine tightly.

One by one, ponies placed calla lillies, Lucefudu's favorite flowers, on the casket. Each gave their condolences to the couple, each one telling them a fond memory they had with the pink pegasus. Each brought bitter-sweet laughter and heartache.

Finally, as the last pony laid her flower on the casket, Twilight nodded to the six unicorns. They all watched as the casket got lowered into the ground, the familiar glow of unicorn levitation magic surrounding it as it was gently lowered  into its final resting place.

"All ponies return to the earth, no matter how far they go..." Twilight intoned, as was pony tradition.

"Back to our roots, we give back to the land what we have taken," the others replied.

"May our paths cross again..."

"Our roads will join, our journey will continue."

"May the wind be always at your back..."

"Let the breath of the lands guide you on..."

"May the sun shine warm upon your face..."

"Let your glow lighten up our lives..."

"May the rains wash away your sorrow and tears..."

"Until we meet again with happiness and joy..."

"Farewell, farewell, farewell," everypony said in unison.

They all watched as Carmine scooped up a hooful of dirt and stood looking down at the coffin, "Farewell..."

As he tossed it in, he felt a weight lift off of him. He felt strangely free, content. It felt right.
