9/25/16 - V1.2 Update:
Grammar fixes and revising.
Three months. It's been nearly three months since I settled down here, and I gotta say, it’s been rather… interesting. It all started when I was out for an afternoon jog when all of a sudden, an unexpected storm suddenly appeared and started to rain hard. At first, I didn’t mind the rain as it was quite cooling for me. Until I heard thunder rolling through every 5 seconds. I don’t know what happened next, but I was running like hell for shelter when everything around me turned purple before I lost consciousness. Next thing I knew, I woke up in a hospital bed with some minor burns. Believe me when I say that nothing hurts more than getting a nasty shock from Mother Nature, but that isn’t the whole story.
The real kicker is I woke up to find six colorful females hovering over me with concern on their faces, except they aren’t fully human. They were half-human, half-horse - or “pony” for the politically correct term here in Equestria - with fur of varying colors, shorter muzzles, big eyes, ears above their heads instead of on the side, outfitted with clothes (Thank God.), a human body complete with arms and hands, a tail sticking out from behind, and equine-like hind legs with hooves instead of feet with toes. Did I mention that two of each were Pegasi with wings, Unicorns with a horn, and Earth Ponies with neither? If I didn’t, well now you know, and it was like I woke up in a land of fairy tales. Naturally, I panicked like any human would do, but they calmed me down after a bit of my screaming and were able to answer some questions I had. Apparently, they too had an unprecedented storm going through Ponyville (Their words, not mine.) and while they assessed the damage, they found my unconscious body in the middle of the village and brought me to the hospital. When I told them about myself and my story about how I got here, as they had never seen nor heard of my kind before, they seemed to understand, though they were a bit skeptical of me being from a different world entirely. When I also mentioned getting struck by a purple-colored lightning bolt, which I could still remember somehow, one of the unicorns introduced as Twilight Sparkle (Strange name, but cute.) froze. She explained that when she was a filly, her magic (Real magic, something I still have trouble wrapping my head around today.) went out of control and a similar lightning bolt was sent towards the sky and beyond. It was thanks to her mentor, Princess Celestia, that her magic was brought back under control, but no one knew where the bolt went since. She felt bad and actually teared up, asking for my forgiveness, but I wasn’t mad at her. How could I be mad at someone who had no control over something that happened at a young age? Plus, I couldn’t stand seeing a girl, or mare in this case, cry.
But then, there was the question I had to bring up. When I asked if there was a way to send me back to Earth, the mares had a look of unease. Twilight said she could ask the Princess if there was a way, as she didn’t really know. From there, she sent a letter explaining the situation, not excluding everything that I told her, and waited. It wasn’t long for a response to return and when it came it was not good. From what the letter said, the princess explained that there have been no known records of other sentient planets, nor spells of interplanetary teleportation, and if there was, it would be too risky to send me back because they don’t know where planet Earth is. I was greatly upset, believe me, but I couldn’t blame any of them for not being able to do anything, but they did allow me to stay and become a citizen of Equestria. After signing a few papers provided by the Crown, it was official and I was living in Ponyville, but this is where it gets even more interesting.
After being discharged from the hospital the next day, I was given a tour of the village by Twilight. The others were busy doing their own thing at the moment. After that, she guided me to a bakery that looks like a gingerbread house, aptly named “Sugarcube Corner”. It stayed true to its name if smelling sweets from within is any indication. When I walked in, however, I was given the biggest surprise of my life. Pinkie Pie, a pink Earth Pony who lived and worked there, literally invited the entire village to a, in her own words, “Welcome to Equestria and Ponyville, Human From Another World!” party. The initial shock I received passed, and the party kicked off without a hitch. At first, the ponies were understandably curious, if a bit wary about me, but soon warmed up as I got to meet them with Pinkie Pie’s help… in her own bubbly and happy-go-lucky way, of course. I also met a Unicorn named Lyra Heartstrings, who happens to be an anthropologist and human enthusiast, much to my surprise, and soon we were instant friends. In the end, I was even more surprised on how forward these ponies were to complete strangers like myself.
When the party was over, I realized that I had no place to stay. Twilight thankfully had planned ahead to take care of any accommodations I needed, and also offered her guest room of her library. I respectfully declined her offer since I didn’t want to feel like imposing, or pampered, and I wanted to get a house of my own. She was quite stubborn, but understood and sent a letter to the princess for help; she still insisted on letting me stay until the reply, so I conceded. A couple of weeks later, we received a surprise visit from the beautiful Princess Celestia (It was hilarious seeing how Twilight reacted for not tidying up the place, by the way.), explaining she was holding a meeting with Mayor Mare at the time since Twilight sent the letter, and managed to secure a house for me as well as providing me a monthly allowance to help me get around. I was surprised and grateful and wanted to repay her, but she only did it because she couldn’t find a way for me to get back home.
That all happened three months ago, and now here I am living in my own house not very far from Twilight’s. I still miss my home, and I think about my family and friends everyday, wondering how they are handling things without me.
Currently, it is now Saturday afternoon as I was in the living room of my two-story home, relaxing on the couch while reading the newly-released Daring Do book and listening to the music from my smartphone that came with me on my “Arrival”. It’s not much like my old home on Earth, but I was grateful nonetheless. I still miss the internet, video games and admittedly the porn. They have electronics and some technology here, but all they made was something similar to an iPhone and nothing more. Instead of satellites, however, they use the planetary magic to provide signals, something they were able to put into my smartphone as well. What's more, I don't have to worry about charging it since the magic can do that while it's off. This way, I can still talk and text to those who have my number, which is almost all of Ponyville and, surprisingly, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna themselves, the latter whom I met in my sleep (To my shock and surprise.). I don’t know why two important princesses who can move the celestial bodies with ease would do such a thing as it is a risk to security, but I guess they wanted to see me as a friend as much as everyone else, which is fine by me. But I digress.
I was only halfway through the fifth chapter of the book when there was a series of knocks at the front door. Placing the book down with a bookmark, I got up and went there to open it and was met by a very familiar pony I met at Pinkie’s welcoming party. Her name is Rain, a pinto mare with a brown and white coat that stood six feet tall, the same height as me. Her face and muzzle is white while her cheeks are brown which travels down her neck, chest, shoulders and upper arms. Her legs are also brown before ending just above the fetlocks, while said pair of fetlocks and pasterns is white, like she's wearing socks. She has baby blue eyes and a blonde mane that reaches her shoulders. Like me, she stood out among the others due to her looks as all other ponies are solid-colored, but that's because of her birthplace, Saddle Arabia, a desert city in the western part of Equestria. She was the first to bravely approach me and talk with me, and after sharing some common interests about some things, we became friends. Over the course of my stay, she took her time to pay me a visit every other day, and we learned more about each other. I learned when she was a young filly, she was quite frail and sickly, and the constant temperature change during the day and night of the desert did not help matters. Because of this, she and her parents had to move to someplace that would help with mending her steadily deteriorating health, and Ponyville was the right choice. As years passed, she grew from being a vulnerable little filly to a healthy, stunning mare today, and for the last few years she continued to live here even after her parents returned to Saddle Arabia. She is also fun, kind, smart, and a bit of a tease, the latter she picked up as we grew closer together and she does it pretty well at my own expense. In her own way, Rain is kind of like Pinkie, Fluttershy, Twilight and Rainbow Dash combined. Anyway, let’s get back on track.
“Hey there, Johnny. How's it going?” greeted Rain in her usual joking tone with a grin. Her attire is a black tank top that shows off her slightly toned arms and slim stomach, and the slight cleavage of her breasts I might add, complete with blue spandex shorts, which is her usual workout clothes when she takes her daily jog around town. She also has a white, black-tipped feather sticking out behind her left ear, which I learned from Twilight’s lessons during my stay here is a symbol of friendship among the Buffalo Tribe, something that Rain obtained from a native friend she made in Saddle Arabia and kept since.
I chuckled and shook my head at the nickname given, but jovially replied, “Hello, Rainy, and nothing much. I’m just relaxing while reading the new Daring Do book.”
Her face brightened at this, not hiding her fondness for the series. “Really now? Anything interesting so far?”
“Not yet, but I’m sure it would be with you around,” I teased with a grin. I’m not about to spoil anything if she hasn’t read it yet.
Surprised and pink at the cheeks for a bit, she chuckled and looked to the side. “Flattery will get you somewhere, John.” She then looked back and gives me a half-lidded look before adding, “Though I wouldn’t mind if we did cuddle up in bed and read together.”
I sputtered and blushed at that which made her laugh. Like I mentioned earlier, she is very good at teasing me, even though I did deserve it for saying something like that. I shook my head before moving on. “Well, what about you? What have you been up to?”
The mare just shrugged. “Not much as well. I just finished my afternoon jog, and since I was near your house, I figured I should stop by and see you.”
“So I noticed.” Indeed, I saw with a quick examination of her sweaty mane sticking to her neck, as well as her face, arms and legs matted a bit with sweat and a slight dampness around the top rim of her shirt. In all honesty, she looks hot in both ways, and that’s due to it being mid-summer at this time. It’s faint, but I also took note of her slightly quickened breathing visible by her synchronized rising and falling chest and flaring nostrils. Either she doesn’t seem to be bothered by it or was trying to hide it, albeit poorly. Nevertheless, a gentleman knows when a woman, or mare, is probably parched, so I stood aside and held the door open. “Would you like to come in, then?” I offered with a smile, “I’m pretty sure you would like to cool off afterwards.”
She returned my smile at the gesture. “Thank you, Johnny, and don’t mind if I do.”
She did so and I closed the door behind us, exhaling a contented sigh at the welcoming cool that the house’s air conditioning brought forth to her.
“Would you like some water?” I offered again even as I head for the adjacent kitchen located to the left.
She turned to me and smiled again. “I’d appreciate that, yeah.”
With a nod, I went in and pulled a glass from one of the cabinets and filled it up near the brim from the sink before returning to find Rain still standing where I left her. With her thanks, she took it and drank greedily, her head leaning back. I forced down a laugh since it did look funny, as she literally guzzled it down in ten seconds flat (Rainbow Dash be proud!) before removing it from her lips with a happy sigh. She grinned at me and returned the glass, which I took before speaking.
“I’ll get you some more. Please, make yourself comfortable.”
She nodded and looked about the living room while I went back to refill the glass. When I returned, however, I found her sitting on the sofa I vacated minutes before while holding the book I mentioned.
“‘Daring Do and the Hidden Temple of Aquarius’,” she read the title aloud, before she looked up at me curiously and asked, “Is that right after The Trident of the Sea Ponies?”
My head bobbed positively. “Yeah. From what Twilight told me, this is something like an off-series continuation where Daring searches for more clues about the existence of an advanced, underwater race that was lost in Equestrian history, and try to see if they are still around today.”
Rain hummed before looking back at the book, the front cover showing the Pegasus in clothes not unsimilar to Indiana Jones’s attire, holding a seven-foot, golden pitchfork while standing on the bow of a ship, staring out to the sea. She put it back on the table before finally speaking.
“Well, I can’t wait to start reading it, but guess I’ll have to until it’s back at Twilight’s library for checkout again.” While she spoke, she locked her hands together before stretching them upwards, giving me a brief side-view of her breasts going up a bit in the process, humming all the while.
“I can ask Twilight if I can give to you right after I’m done with it. I’m sure she wouldn’t mind,” I offered, saving her the time and hassle of going there and back just for the sake of one book.
She finished stretching and smiled in appreciation. “That’s fine by me.” We said nothing else, but after a few seconds of silence, she asked, “Say, would it be alright if I do some stretches here for a moment?”
I nodded in approval at her request, to which she got up. When I gave her the glass of water, she took it appreciatively and, this time, only finished half of it before walking to a more spacious part of the room, which is right in front of the couch. I, for my part, took her spot on the couch, picked up the book and continued where I left off. I was distracted in my own thoughts for a bit and glanced up at Rain to see her doing triceps, biceps and other upper-body stretches, each for ten seconds. I still get a good view of her boobs going up as she did since she is facing sideways at the moment. After thirty to forty seconds passed, the mare was stretching her arms upwards like she did on the couch before holding it there, and her head slowly turned to look at me. Finally realizing that I was staring more than I should’ve, I immediately went back to my book, silently chastising myself for making my guest uncomfortable. What I failed to notice, however, is the mischievous grin that appeared on her lips before she turned around with her back towards me.
I was just reading past the first paragraph when I heard groaning from my guest, and looked up in concern only to be replaced with shock at the sight before me. She is doing hamstring stretches, but her butt is sticking out more than necessary with her tail moved to one side, and I was getting a rather good view of her shapely butt. My face heated up at this and I was about to question her, but she finished before I could. She slowly stood up straight, legs pressed together, before she leaned forward and down to touch her hooves with her hands. This action made her shorts appear tighter and, with her tail questionably raised higher and the added dampness from her sweat, reveal a faint camel toe. My cheeks were burning and I lost the voice to speak. I always knew her to tease about certain things just to get a reaction out of me even if it's in good fun, but I've never seen her do something such as this! I just sat there like a statue, the sight forever etched in my mind even after she straightened up.
“Ahh, that’s better,” she muttered in content before turning around to look at me. Upon seeing my stupefied expression, she smirked. “So, did you enjoy the view, Johnny?”
Her words snapped me out of it and I looked away. “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” I replied while trying to hide my blush.
Rain just rolled her eyes. “Come on. I saw you were watching me. The only question is, when are you going to make a move?”
My head turned to her so fast it felt like it almost snapped. “...What?” I questioned after a pause, unsure if I heard her right.
“I saw the way you were looking at me, thinking that I wouldn’t notice the last several weeks. I’m wondering when you’re going to finally come and get it?” she called out on my bluff.
It’s shamefully true that I have been staring at her for a while because I’ll admit, silently, that she’s got a nice body and a fine ass. But to think she knew the entire time and just suddenly ask that question now? I must be making a good impression of imitating a fish. All I did is just stare up at her, trying to find any hint of deceit or a joke, but her expression remained neutral and shockingly sincere.
After a moment of awkward silence, I broke it with a throat-clearing cough behind a closed hand before replying, “Well, um… excuse me for being blunt, but why would you ask me to have sex with you? Not that I'm saying ‘no’, but this is very sudden even for me.”
Rain just folded her arms under her chest, making her boobs stand out a bit more (Head out of the gutter, John!). “Have you been noticing the signals lately?” All she got was a blank stare, making her frown before continuing, “Didn’t Twilight tell you about how relationships and courting works here?”
I broke eye contact with her and looked down in thought, recalling my third week of the first month I’d been at Twilight’s library. I looked back up and grinned sheepishly. “I vaguely remember her talking to me about it, but I might have tuned it out since it wasn’t important to me at the time,” I admitted while scratching the back of my head.
At these words, Rain just sighed while rubbing the bridge of her muzzle with a hand. “And here I thought you were acting like a prude,” she muttered under her breath, but loud enough for me to let out a disgruntled “Heeyy!” at that. With a sigh and a small shake of her head, she looked back at me with a neutral expression. “Well, since we’re on the subject, I guess I should explain it to you. I won’t pull off an eggheaded lecture like Twilight does, so I’ll make it short and simple,” she added the last part when she somehow noticed my hesitant look, making me inwardly sigh in relief.
She walked towards the other end of the sofa and sits down comfortably before looking at me. Making sure I’m giving her my full attention, she clears her throat and begins, “Okay, the run-down on how the way relationships work in Equestria is it depends on if the stallion or mare is interested in one another, which is pretty much obvious. In this case, if a mare is interested in you, she would give off certain signals. One signal is she would feel a little more open and comfortable around you. The other is taking notice of certain body language, such as subtle wagging of the tail, a little strutting while walking and or longer-than-normal eye contact. Clothing would also play a role in that as well, though it’s not as important to body language because it depends on the weather.
She paused to make sure I’m hanging on to every word, which I am, before continuing. “Lastly, there is also giving a certain gift. A gift a mare or stallion sends very much depends on their race. For example, an Earth Pony like myself, with the passive magic we possess to tend the lands, would give something they grow, such as a flower they like. It is like giving a part of themself to one another.” She paused again with a nod to something behind me, and I took this pause as a chance to look back at a small pot situated on the windowsill next to the front door. In that pot is a white flower bathing in the afternoon sun filtering through, one that was given to me last month by Rain herself. I looked back at her, who smiled at my finally understanding expression before finishing. “Like so, Pegasi would give up one of their primary feathers, and Unicorns an item infused with their magical essence. If all those signals are met by both parties, the two would be together in a good relationship and, in your words, fuck one another.” She added the last part with a devilish grin before chuckling at my flushed expression.
I shook it off and asked in a slightly accusing tone, “Is the ‘bed talk’ and teasing also part of those signals?”
She just shrugged before leaning back in her seat and resting an arm on the head of the sofa. “Sometimes, but that depends on the time and place. But yeah, that’s how relationships work here and what the signals are, signals that I’ve been giving you that you’ve probably never noticed,” she says, the last part consisting of a bemused stare at me.
I said nothing and broke away from her gaze, staring off into nothing while processing everything she told me. To be honest, I never thought she would like me that way, and admittedly, I like her, too, but is this even possible? After a bit of pondering, I looked back at the mare to see her waiting for my response. I exhaled a breath before speaking.
“To be truthful, Rain, I have seen the signs you’ve been giving me, but I always thought you were just being your usual playful self,” I said with a contrite smile, “And yeah, I have been oblivious to it.” This made her roll her eyes and chuckle. “Really though, I’m flattered that you’re interested in me, but…”
She tilted her head at me. “‘But’ what?”
I just smiled sheepishly. “Don’t you think that… well, you know… this is going a little too fast?”
The mare just frowned. “Why do you ask that? It’s not uncommon to have interspecies relationships. When I was a filly in Saddle Arabia, I saw a Buffalo from the native tribe there fall in love with one of my neighbors there.”
I shook my head rapidly. “I know that, but that’s not the problem.” Seeing her confused look, I continued, “It’s the ‘mating’ part that I’m worried about. You see, on Earth, humans don’t just meet up and fuck and get an instant relationship like ponies and other species here do. There are signals similar to yours, save for the extra appendages and magic part, but there are certain requirements to be met, such as dating, marriage, etc.”
Rain just stared at me. “So? We have something like that, too. I still don’t see the problem.”
I just sighed and spoke with a swallow of air. “Like I said earlier, I won’t say ‘yes’ or ‘no’, but don’t you think we should…” I trailed off, suddenly tongue-tied at the moment.
Rain motioned her hand to continue. “‘Should’...?”
“Don’t you think we should… go on a few dates first, just to see if this works?” I suggested, turning away with a blush. I always feel nervous when asking a girl out, even though I did go on a few.
When there was only silence from the mare, I looked back at her to see her expression of surprise and understanding a minute before a grin broke out.
“Is that it?” she asked me, and seeing my confusion, she clarified, “You can’t have a relationship unless we go on a few dates?”
I nodded and looked forward. “Yeah. I mean, you’re very pretty and not at all ugly,” I suddenly blurted before clamping my mouth shut. Where the hell did that come from?!
I slowly glanced sideways at Rain, but she just stared at me, expressionless. “You think I’m ugly?” she asked me. She isn’t angry or scolding, but her tone on the other hand, sounded on borderline dangerous.
“What? No! I didn’t…” I replied vehemently to save face, but was cut off.
“You don’t think I’m pretty?” she whispered loudly, suddenly shifting to slowly crawl towards me. I tried to back away, but the armrest of the couch prevented me from moving any further. In a few seconds she closed the distance and was on top of me with both hands on each side of me, her legs straddling my lap. I was so far pressed back into the couch that I might as well be one with it, my eyes never leaving hers. “You think I’m not as beautiful as, let’s say, Rarity, or maybe the princesses themselves?” she asked in a dangerously low tone, her eyes narrowing.
I never felt this scared, and I knew I had to choose my words carefully if I want to avoid getting hurt (Trust me, Earth Ponies’ magically-enhanced strength is NOT to be trifled with.) and, worse, lose a friend. With what I wanted to say rehearsed in my head, I looked her in the eye.
“Rain, you are so beautiful that no man or stallion in their right minds would not be interested in you or dating you,” I said with finality. ‘I hope I remembered brushing my teeth after I ate earlier,’ I added mentally.
She just remained silent, her muzzle inching closer ‘til our lips almost met. Almost. Finally, after a long agonizing pause, she finally speaks. “You know…” she trailed off.
“Wh-what?” I gulped.
Then, I noticed the sides of her lips twitching upwards. “Have I ever told you how cute you look when you’re embarrassed or flustered?” After saying that, she gets off and rolled back on the couch, laughing hard from my intensely blushing face.
After a second of remaining still, I just let out an exasperated groan. “That was not funny at all, Rain! You seriously had me scared there!” I said over her fit of mirth while rubbing my face with a hand.
“Ha ha hee! I-I’m sorry, Johnny, but you’re just so easy to tease! Oh Celestia, ha ha ha!” she gasped out, doubling over.
“Well, I’m glad you’re having fun,” I mocked with an eyeroll. “But seriously, that was going a bit too far.”
After a minute passed, she finally came down from her laughter and repositioned herself to sitting again, moving a strand of her mane from her face while we stared at each other. A heartbeat of silence later, she finally spoke only one word.
“Yes.”
I just gave her a confused look. “‘Yes’?”
“I mean ‘yes’ to our date,” she clarified casually with a smile, making my head lean back a bit in surprise.
“Just like that?”
“Just like that,” she repeated statedly before raising a brow. “Unless there’s a problem?”
I shook my head vehemently. “No, no problem at all. I’m just surprised that you would accept it on the very first time I ask. Usually, the girls on Earth wouldn’t give until they were asked after a few more times.”
The mare rolled her eyes at that. “John, how long have we been friends and seeing each other?”
I looked up and thought. “About two months, four weeks and five days,” I answered with a knowing grin, making her roll her eyes again.
“Since your welcoming party,” she answered simply, but grinned nonetheless at my poor attempt at humor. “Don’t you think that is long enough to warrant a date?”
I nodded a bit, albeit still unsure. “I guess it does. When should we have it?” I asked after a pause.
She looked down in thought. “It can’t be today or later this week,” she answered before looking up at me contritely. “I have important things to do and my job’s boss needs somepony to take another’s shift, who is still sick with a flu. The decision is up to you.”
I folded my arms and looked down, pondering on the mental schedule I have in my head. So far, nothing important for this week has come to mind. Come to think of it, there hasn’t been anything important at all since I’ve been here. I need to find a job since I can’t just live off the monthly allowance the princesses give me. Plus, it will give me something to do so I don’t become a lazy couch potato. I’d like something that allows physical labor; I do have a good body to maintain after all. After some thinking, I came upon a plausible day we can go out, and looked back at her.
“I don’t have anything to do this week myself, but I plan to change that sometime later,” I said. “Other than that, how about next Sunday, seven o’clock sharp?”
She thought about it before smiling. “That’s fine. I get the weekend off afterwards anyway.”
“It’s a date, then.” She nodded in agreement.
After that, there were nothing else to say and we just chilled on the couch. A moment of silence hung in the room before Rain finally breaks it and says, “Well, it’s great getting to talk to you again, but I need to head home.” She slowly stands up and stretched a bit. I stood up as well while she gives me a grateful smile. “Thanks again for allowing me in your house, and thanks for the water.”
I returned the smile as we both walked to the front door, which I opened for her to see her out. “It is my pleasure, Rain. Anything for a great friend.”
Her face brightened, then looked away with a pink tint on her cheeks for a second. Before I could ask what was wrong, she suddenly turned back to me, leaned forward and gave me a short peck on the left cheek. I just stood stock still as my face expressed complete surprise and my cheeks warmed immensely, even after she pulled back immediately and gives me a half-lidded look.
“I look forward to seeing you on our date night,” she said huskily, before giggling as she left the house, closing the door on the way.
I still stood there like an idiot while my brain was still rebooting from its short crash, my hand absentmindedly touching the cheek she kissed. When it did, it brought a little smile to my face and a slightly fuzzy feeling inside. Then, I wandered around the house to get a handle on what I should do this week, as well as plan out for my date with Rain.
The following week had been uneventful, to say the least. As promised, I was able to do some jobs around Ponyville instead of staying home all day. While it was exhausting and the pay is not as much as the stipend I get from the Crown, helping the community and seeing the grateful expressions of the ponies made it all worth it. The only thing that was different this time is Rain. Since her visit last Saturday, I haven’t seen nor heard from her and she hasn’t stopped by my house either like she does after her jogs, and I can only guess it is because she would be pretty swamped at her job. That is until I paid a visit to the Carousel Boutique, where Rarity helped me out since I settled. I also knew she’d like to hear gossip and give advice on stuff like dating and such besides making fashionable clothes. With that said, when I explained to her about my date with Rain, she was happy and surprised. Happy because I finally found somepony to go out with, and surprised because, coincidentally, Rain was just here the day before with a request for a dress. I was tempted to ask what the dress would look like, but forced it back because I knew her answer will be, “It’s a surprise!”. Anyway, I asked her if she knows a nice place to take my date at, and Rarity suggested a restaurant that just recently opened near Town Hall. Other than that, the rest of the week went by smoothly.
Now it is Sunday evening as I was in my upstairs bedroom looking over myself in the full-body mirror. I’m decked out in a suit, also made by Rarity, that consists of a navy-blue coat, white buttoned-up long-sleeve shirt, navy-blue slacks and black dress shoes. A black tie was included, but I decided not to wear it tonight. Originally, the suit was for a special event called a “Grand Galloping Gala”, but since tonight is special as well, it seems fit to wear.
“Well, John. Tonight’s yours and Rain’s night. Make it one to remember,” I muttered to my mirror self while using a brush to comb my hair, damp from taking a recent shower.
As I continue to admire myself, I couldn’t help feeling a little nervous about this. It’s not because I haven’t been on a few dates before. It’s because I’m dating someone from an entirely different species. I keep telling myself that this shouldn’t be any different dating a mare as human girls. Still, first time for everything, right? Speaking of, I wonder how Rain is feeling about all this. She probably feels the same way as I do. My mind also wandered to what kind of dress she will wear tonight. Will she be as pretty as Rarity, or beautiful like the princesses?
‘Only one way to find out.’
Brushing my coat with my hands to rid of any unwanted creases, I looked at my watch displaying six-thirty. Ready to go, I left the bedroom and went downstairs straight to the front door. Feeling the cool breeze of the twilight with the full moon finally appearing from the horizon, I walked outside, closed the door behind me and head towards Rain’s house.
Meanwhile, at the house of the mare in question, Rain is currently checking herself from head to toe in the mirror to make sure nothing is out of place; Rarity had really gone all out to make sure she looked good for her human friend on their date night. The mare couldn’t help but feel giddy and nervous since it’s her very first date with Ponyville’s only resident human. When she turned 18, her mother always told her to look for the right qualities in a stallion and make sure he takes great care of her, just like her father did for mother. That was a year before they moved back to Saddle Arabia when Rain had decided to live on her own, and she managed to find those qualities and quirks in John since they’ve been close friends.
“And when he feels ready to go to the next level, give him the time of his life,” her mother adds playfully in her head, which made her blush just now.
Shaking those thoughts away, she can’t help but wonder how John is doing anyway since she hasn’t paid him a visit during the week, and wonder what he will look like when they go out together.
‘Probably a nervous wreck right now,’ she mentally joked while giggling out loud.
Rain is immediately pulled from her thoughts when there was a set of knocks on her door. Double-checking herself and seeing everything is in order, she turned away from the mirror and walked out of her bedroom to the door.
“Coming~!” she called out to the door as she approached.
It wasn’t that far of a walk, merely only five minutes, and now I find myself standing before the front door of a one-story house. Adjusting the collar of my shirt with one hand and steeling my nerves, I raised my other and gave three soft yet firm knocks. For a second there was no answer, but then I heard the faint telltale sound of hooves on wood growing in volume as it grew closer, followed by a “Coming!” from the only resident living here. Next, the door knob turned fully before the door opened inward. When it opened fully to reveal the mare of the hour, my eyes widened and I think my jaw unhinged the moment I looked at her.
There stood Rain in the most amazing dress I ever set eyes on. She is wearing a black halterneck dress with two laces tied behind her neck that hugs her body quite snugly (And exposing a bit more cleavage than her workout shirt did, I might add.), with the skirt ending just above her knees, completed with a split that exposes her left hip and leg. It didn't stop there; when I looked at her face, I noticed her once-straight mane is styled in a way that hides her left eye and the rest curled over her right shoulder. She had also forgone the feather, something that she very rarely does. Instead, she wears a white-and-black beaded bracelet around her right wrist, which is better since the natural white of her forearms gives it a natural, evening glove-like appearance. All in all, the black clashes beautifully with her brown/white looks. Everything about her just screamed “Rarity”, no doubt about it.
One thing for sure, I never expected a mare with a casual attitude that rivals Rainbow’s own like Rain to wear something as beautiful as this, but I think “beautiful” would be an understatement at this time.
“Good evening, John,” she greeted in a formal, yet her usually cheerful tone, which I barely heard as I looked her in the eye that isn’t hidden. She did a small twirl, revealing her white-furred back that was exposed while the back part of her dress covered the rest below, as she spoke, “So, how do you like my new look?”
“Rain, you… I, I mean… Wow. Just wow,” was all I could say, unable to speak coherently.
Despite my fumbling, she took that as a compliment and brightened. “So you do like it?”
Finally snapping out of my shock, I cleared my throat and mind before replying, “Rain, you look amazing. If I haven’t met you the first time, I would have mistook you as one of the princesses or being related to them.”
The mare’s cheeks reddened a bit before looking away to the side with a bashful smile. “You’re just saying that to make me feel better,” she muttered loudly, her sudden behavior being a stark contrast to her usual attitude from the last three months.
Not having any of that, I closed the distance between us and used one hand to return her attention to me, which she didn’t resist, until our eyes met. “Why would I ever lie to the most beautiful mare that walked this land and became my first closest friend here in the world?” I asked rhetorically with the most sincere smile on my face.
Her blush deepened a bit before it went away, replaced with a smile of her own. “Thanks, Johnny. You’re sweet.” Her eyes scanned me up and down a few seconds before saying, “You look nice as well. Very handsome.”
Now it was my turn to blush, but that was short-lived as we shared a chuckle. Realizing we were burning the seconds away, I stepped back a few and turned sideways while offering an arm outwards. “Shall we, ‘Milady’?”
With that, she stepped out of her home and closed the door before walking up and wrapping her arms around mine. “We shall. Lead the way, ‘My Prince’.”
I chuckled at her small joke before we walked in the same direction I came from towards our next destination. During the walk, I could feel something occasionally brushing against my leg from behind, if barely because of my pants, though I can already guess it’s her tail wagging to show how excited, or nervous, she is about this. As we left the housing district and entered the main part of town, I noticed there were still a few ponies out and about as well as several couples. They saw Rain and I, but instead of stopping and staring like they did the first time I was here, they greeted me with waves which I returned as well. Some of the stallions were complimenting, and quite bravely whistle, at Rain’s dress, making her blush in the process, while the mares gave us congratulating smiles at getting together, which wasn’t what they thought but made me blush as well anyway. Other than that, we continued on our way to the marketing and dining district.
“So, where are we having our date tonight?” Rain asked curiously while looking at me, ignoring the background comments.
All I did was look at her and grin. “You’ll see when we get there,” I answered with a wink, which made her pout while sticking her lower lip out.
“You’re no fun,” she pouted.
“Hey, you decided to surprise me with the most eye-catching dress, so it's only fair that I return the favor,” I countered while grinning even more.
She didn’t say anything, but seeing her smirk was enough. Finally after what has been a fifteen-minute walk, and Ponyville, despite it being called a small town, is actually quite huge (Close to being city-sized.), we arrived at the restaurant the local seamstress picked out for our date. Rain stopped in her tracks, making me stop as well, with a look of surprise on her face. The restaurant is not that big, given because it’s just opened its doors two weeks ago, but the food here from what I’m told is very good and comes from their main restaurant branch in Canterlot. Probably expensive as well, I might add.
“‘Madam Oiselle’s Prench Cuisine’?” the mare reads the sign above the double doors aloud before turning to me with a confused look. “This is where we’re dining?”
“That’s right,” I answered with a smile. Seeing her hesitant look, my smile faded a bit. “What’s wrong, Rain? If you don’t like Prench food, we can go --” I was interrupted by her rapidly shaking her head negatively before speaking.
“No, no! It’s not that. I grew up eating Prench cuisines and I love it,” she explained quickly, “but don’t you need to set a reservation ahead of time to dine here?”
Hearing this made me shake my head a little and chuckle. “Rain, when you are good friends with a certain local fashionista here in Ponyville, you would be surprised with what kind of favors they can do for you, especially for occasions like this,” I answered simply. ‘I should remind myself to thank Rarity tomorrow and return the favor after this is over,’ I added mentally. With a gentle tug on her arms from mine, I gestured with my head towards the building. “Shall we go in?”
She smiled and moved along once more, still surprised a little about this. Ever the gentleman, I held the door for her, which she giggled at my gesture before I followed behind, where we were greeted by an Earth Pony mare in a waitress uniform holding two menu folders in her arms.
“Bonsoir, and welcome to Madam Oiselle’s. Are you two Monsieur John and Mademoiselle Rain?” she speaks with a Prench accent while smiling.
“Good evening to you and yes, that’s us,” I replied with a smile of my own.
“Very well, then. If you will follow me, please?” she says before turning around and walking into the main area, while we followed behind.
We looked around to see rows of tables lining from top to bottom starting from the left, with the area on the right blocked off by a wall with swinging doors that employees and cooks go through, which I soon understood to be the kitchen. A few of the tables were occupied by other couples that dined here. It was dark, but each and every table had a small lamp that hung from the ceiling above, giving off a peaceful yet quiet atmosphere, which is usual for a fine restaurant such as Madam Oiselle’s. Some of the ponies glanced at us, but returned to their conversations and meals immediately, which was fine by us. It wasn’t long before we were on the other side of the building when the mare placed the menus on a table situated in the corner before allowing Rain and I to sit across from each other.
“My name is Ruby and I will be your waitress for the night,” the mare says professionally while giving us a smile. “Would you like anything to drink while you peruse the menu?”
“Just water, please, thank you,” I said while Rain agrees with the choice.
“Of course. I will return with your waters shortly then come back five minutes afterwards to take your orders.”
I nodded in thanks and she leaves us be. I looked at Rain to see her already picking up a menu to view the selections, and picked up the other to do the same as well. While I’m looking it over, all there is available is salads and soups containing nothing but fruits and vegetables. There is also the meat section in the back of the menu which surprised me, but I left it alone since I’m not sure how Rain would take it with me eating dead animals. There are appetizers such as breadsticks and dips as well as beverages, alcohol and non-alcohol, but I doubt we want to start off our first date with anything alcoholic, so that’s out of the question as well. Not much of a drinker either. Just as promised, Ruby came back with two glasses of water, which we thanked her for before she left again. Rain then set her menu down before looking at me with a smile, which I returned while still deciding on what to order. Like I said, the selections here are expensive.
“Have you decided on your orders yet?” Ruby asked us as she came back five minutes later with a notepad and pen in hand.
“Yes, I’ll order the mixed berry salad with raspberry vinaigrette dressing,” Rain replies, which the waitress jotted down before turning to me.
After a few seconds of deciding, I closed the menu and moved it aside before smiling. “I’ll take the Caesar salad with ranch dressing and mixed nuts,” I said, not noticing the look of surprise on Rain’s face as the other wrote it down.
“Would you like to add any drinks to the order?” Ruby asked, exchanging glances with me and my date.
I was about to answer, but my date beat me to it. “I’ll take a bottle of hard apple cider,” Rain speaks first, catching me off-guard a bit.
I looked at her while she just smiled innocently at me, before shaking my head a little and ordering the same; might as well join the party. At that, Ruby wrote it down, took the menus and headed for the front, leaving Rain and I alone for the time being.
“Really, Rain? Alcohol on our first night?” I questioned her choice.
“I thought you and I might have something to help calm our nerves a bit,” she said with a casual shrug. Then her nostrils flared a bit as she sniffed before smirking slyly. “I can tell we’re both nervous if the scent you’re giving off from your slight sweating is any indication.”
Damn these ponies’ heightened senses. I said nothing and looked around a bit to take in the “new restaurant” sight and smell. The silence broke again when she spoke up.
“John, why did you order just a salad?” she asked me in a curious tone. I just looked at her confused before she clarified. “Why didn’t you go and order something from the meat section as well?”
I was surprised a bit by the question. “Why ask? You wouldn’t mind me eating meat, and around ponies nonetheless?” I counter-questioned with a raised brow.
“I remembered that you mentioned humans eating meat as part of their diet, so no, I wouldn’t mind since it would be important to you,” she explained while looking down at the table, though I could tell by just this alone that she would be slightly uncomfortable with me eating meat even if she didn’t admit it out loud. She’s a pony, so what would you expect? With a sigh, I leaned forward with my hands locked together on the table, regaining her attention.
“Rain, while I appreciate your concern, I’m not going to eat anything that would be disturbing for you, or any other pony for that matter, especially on our first date,” I said in a gentle yet firm tone. She frowned a little, but I continued, “Sure I did say that my kind are omnivorous, but that doesn’t mean we eat meat every single day. I do like meat, but I’m not that crazy about it.” I leaned back in my seat and smiled a little. “Besides, this is our night out, and I would damn myself if I gave in to my own needs and cause you discomfort. So, no meat tonight, alright?” I finished with no room for argument in my tone.
She blinked once before smiling in understanding, so I quickly changed the subject to other things such as how our week went and she was more than happy to oblige. From there, we continued talking, joking and laughing about random things even after our food and drinks came and while we ate, though we kept it down as to not disturb the other patrons nearby. Admittedly, the hard cider did help us loosen up a bit, but we kept it to no more than one bottle due to its strength. Ruby came back after we finished eating to see if we would like anything from the desserts menu, and after some pondering we decided on a slice of carrot cheesecake. As we ate, I noticed Rain was staring at me a little longer than normal.
“What? Is there something on my face?” I asked in a joking tone.
She shook her head before turning her gaze to the side, taking interest to something on the wall while her fork fiddled with her slice of cake. “N-no. It’s nothing,” she muttered, blushing a little.
I raised a brow at this, but decided to not dwell on it and continued eating. After an unknown amount of time passed, we were just finished before the waitress came back with the check before leaving again. My hand reached over to grab it until another hand brushed over mine, which happened to be Rain’s. We looked up at each other and blushed at the sudden contact before she let go while I smiled.
“I got this, Rain,” I said while picking it up.
She raised a quizzical brow at me. “Why? Shouldn’t mares pay for the dinner like they should?”
I shook my head and chuckled. “Listen. I know that the gender roles here are different from where I’m from, but I’m the one who asked you out. Therefore, I’m the one who should pay.”
She frowned at my words, but said nothing else. After paying the required bits as well as leaving a tip, we both stood up and headed for the front, where Ruby stood by the exit. She gave a professional smile as always upon seeing us.
“Did you enjoy yourself?” she asked the both of us as we approached.
Rain and I smiled back. “We did. The food, drink and dessert was wonderful.” My date nodded her head in agreement.
“Je vous remercie. I hope this experience will allow you to come back again.” The waitress beamed while doing a small bow. She stood up straight before her expression changed to one of question. “I do hope one of you has brought an umbrella?”
My brow raised at this, and so did Rain’s. “An umbrella? Why?” Rain queried.
“Did either of you get the memo earlier today?” The mare next to me and I exchanged glances for a bit before turning to her with shaking heads, causing the waitress to frown. “Well, we just received word from the Cloudsdale Weather Team that a rainstorm will be moving into Ponyville tonight. I heard it would be a big one, since we haven’t had any since the start of summer.”
I slapped a hand to my forehead and let out a silent curse while Rain held a look of slight dread before replying, “We were busy all day, so no, we didn’t get any word about it.”
Ruby could only give us sympathetic looks. “Well, I do hope you can make it home before it starts.”
I nodded my head in appreciation before Rain took my arm again as we head for the double doors. “Thanks for letting us know, and thanks for the food,” Rain bids with a small smile.
“Avoir une bonne soirée, and be safe.”
Giving our farewells in return, we stepped through the doors to greet the evening air outside, though I can smell the moisture building up around us as we stood there. Just as the waitress told us, and to our disdain, there is a distant rumble of thunder, making me shudder with dread, as we looked up to see nothing but twinkling stars and Luna’s bright moon. Looking further down, however, we could see an outline of black clouds blocking out the rest of the night sky.
“Well, we should get going,” I muttered.
Rain hummed in agreement, so we left the restaurant premise in a power walk back to the housing district. It wasn’t even five seconds when we felt the first drop of water on our heads before it starts to drizzle.
A full minute passed by right after we left when the rain and thunder came down in force, and we were running like our lives depended on it. Well, my life mostly due to my new fear of lightning. It didn’t help matters that the both of us were getting soaked either. After a bit of quick thinking, I decided to head to my house, which is closer than Rain’s and my close friend couldn’t agree more. During that time, Rain took it upon herself to run ahead of me while giving a grin. I accepted the silent challenge and we were both racing towards our destination, laughing as if we were having fun, which admittedly it was. Finally stopping right before the front door of my abode in a tie, I fumbled a bit with my suit pocket to find my key and grabbed it before shoving it into the keyhole to unlock. Swinging the door inward, Rain rushed right in after me before I slammed the door with my back against it.
“Wow,” I breathed out while trying to get my heart rate down. “When she said the storm is going to get bad, I never thought she meant this bad.”
“Yeah,” was all my guest could say as I looked to see her catching her breath as well while her back was towards me. She turned around while removing a stray lock of her now ruined mane to look at me, and we stared at each other for a second before laughing and giggling at how ridiculous we looked now. “I don't think Rarity would be too thrilled if she saw us looking like this,” she says while giggling.
“Probably, though I think she'll kill us if she did,” I added, chuckling still. We managed to calm down a bit afterwards, and it wasn't long before the slight runner's high I built up started to subside and the cold from my wet clothes kicked into place. Rain isn't faring any better as I could see her body starting to shiver a little despite having fur. In the perverted part of my mind, her wet dress clinging to her body really makes her look goddamn sexy. Standing straight once more, I closed the distance between us. “Are you alright?” I asked with genuine concern.
She slowly wrapped her arms around herself. “I'm just a little cold,” she admitted, proving my assumptions correct.
I nodded sympathetically before I moved around her and up the stairs. I turned to her as she stayed in place while watching me. “Come with me.”
I didn't stay for her response as I continue to ascend, but the sound of hooves on the wooden floor and the steps tells me that she complied. I passed the door on the side as I reached another at the far end and opened it, revealing my bedroom. There is a medium-sized bed at the other end of the room, with a nightstand and lamp on the right. On the right wall is the window where the sound of rain hitting it is heard. The continued sound of hoofsteps got louder before stopping right behind me. I walked left to a set of drawers to grab a dry set of clothes, as well as another t-shirt big enough for Rain, before turning to said mare who still stood at the doorway taking in the simplicity of the room before looking at me.
“It doesn't seem that the storm will let up anytime soon, so make yourself comfortable,” I stated while handing her the extra shirt. “I also assume you don't have an extra set of clothes with you obviously, so I hope this fits. Get undressed and change.”
She took the shirt before smirking slyly. “Yes, ‘Dad’,” she mocked in good nature.
I rolled my eyes at the jab as she stepped up to the foot of my bed, where she placed the shirt down before reaching behind her neck and untying the bow that kept her dress up. Not sure if she knew I was still standing there the entire time or not, I blushed the moment the top of her dress fell down, but thankfully, the bottom keeps it from going all the way. Not wanting to give her any ammunition to tease me about it, I respectfully stepped out of the room, closing the door to give her privacy and head for the previous door that took me into the bathroom, where I began to undress.
I don't know how long it was taking for my guest to finish changing, but I had already changed into a t-shirt and shorts and left my suit hanging in the bathroom to dry at least five minutes ago. So here I am back in the living room standing by the window and watching the storm going through the town, the only sound being the pitter-patter of rain and the soft crackling of the fireplace I just started up two minutes prior. I was deep in thought about the events of tonight, and despite this sudden nasty change, it was actually nice going out with the closest friend I have, and I would definitely do it again. My heart started to beat a bit fast as a strange feeling welled up inside me. Why do I feel like this? Am I growing close to Rain?
“Sorry I took so long,” a familiar voice interrupted my internal debating as the sound of descending hoofsteps was heard.
Speak of the devil, I turned around to the source of the voice before my eyes bugged out and cheeks warmed immensely. Rain, as she reached the ground floor, was no longer in her dress, but now in the shirt I gave her, though it appears a bit small on her if the lift of the hem up front is any indication because of her bosom. I could also see a faint outline of her nipples sticking through the fabric, meaning she isn’t wearing any bra underneath.
‘Come to think of it, she wasn’t wearing any with her dress either,’ I recalled mentally. I blinked rapidly and shook my head. ‘Get ahold of yourself, man! It’s inappropriate to think about that or stare, especially with her around!’
What’s more brain-frying is that the only thing she has worn besides her dress is a pair of dark-pink panties held up by one left side knot, now on full display right in front of my eyes. Rain finally reached the ground floor and approached the sofa before finally seeing me. Taking note of my stupefied expression, she gives me a mischievous grin.
“Like what you see, Johnny?” she asked while wiggling her eyebrows, making me stutter before looking away with an intense blush. She giggled before smiling contritely. “I couldn’t find anything that would fit around my legs without ripping them since your legs are smaller than mine, so I’m stuck with this shirt for now. I also hung my dress in the bathroom, so I hope you don't mind.”
“Th-that’s fine,” I muttered, trying to calm down my sudden excitement at hanging out with a mare in just a t-shirt and panties. What the hell’s wrong with me?
Satisfied with my answer and letting out a giggle, Rain took her seat on the sofa in front of the fireplace. I shook my head a bit before deciding to join her as well. A long silence hung in the air as there was nothing that needed to be said, so I decided to pick up my smartphone from the table in front of me and opened the My Files app and a folder named “Music”. To fit the mood, I picked a soft song from the “Romance” sub-folder. I glanced at Rain who was watching me the entire time, a smile slowly forming on her lips as the melody and lyrics reached her perked ears. I tapped Folder Shuffle before setting it back down and leaned back on the sofa once more. Content and relaxed, I closed my eyes as the melody brought out a nostalgic feeling of my once former home. As the song ended and another started, I felt the couch shift a bit, which I paid no mind to, that is until I felt another shift and another one after that. After the fourth, I felt my seat lean a bit to the left followed by a pressure on my left shoulder. I opened my eyes and turned my head a little to find Rain’s resting there, who let out a relaxing sigh. I want to question this, but for some reason I find this strangely welcoming and quite comforting. Instead, a ghost of a smile appeared on my face as I relaxed and watched the contained flames flicker and doing its mystic dance.

After an unknown amount of time and ten more songs passed, we continued to sit there before Rain decided to speak, without changing her position.
“John?” she asked. I noticed her tone is soft and unusually nervous, yet I hummed in response to let her know I’m listening. “Can I… ask you a personal question?”
I give the question a bit of thought before replying, “Shoot.”
Another pause. “Have you ever had a special somepony?” When I said nothing since the question confused me, I felt her head shift a bit and noticed she was looking at me. Seeing my expression, she clarified, “A special somepony. You know, somepony who had a place in your heart on Earth?”
I nodded in understanding before shaking my head. “If you mean if I had a relationship with someone, then no, I didn’t. I did have a few crushes on Earth, and some of them I went on a few dates with, but we never went further than just being friends.” I also remember having a few one-night stands during parties with a few friends, but Rain doesn't need to know that.
She frowned at my answer. “Why?”
I sighed somberly, not wanting to have this conversation yet decided to just let it out. “Well, I’m not sure how to explain this delicately, but the girls I dated didn’t have that certain… ‘spark’. Yeah, that’s the word for it. I guess it’s because they didn’t have what I was looking for in a girl.”
Rain then shifted in her seat to face me while sitting upright, clearly intrigued. “Can I ask what you’re trying to find?”
I turned away from her to stare at the dancing flames as I did some thinking. “Kind,” I began while she listened with rapt attention, “compassionate, intelligent, wise, carefree, beautiful on the inside and out… those are a few of the traits I admire in a girl.” I returned to her and smiled a little. “In fact, you happen to have those traits.”
At those words, the mare blushed before turning her blue eyes away from mine, one of her hands reaching up to play with some strands of her mane. “That’s what you think about me?” she mutters shyly.
I nodded sincerely. “For some strange reason, you happen to be the one. You are also fun to be around, even if a bit flirtatious and a tease, but those are just some of the quirks I admire as well,” I said with no hesitation.
Her blush deepened, but she smiled all the same. “Thank you, Johnny. In fact, I was thinking the same thing about you.”
I raised a brow with an intriguing smile. “Really? What is it that you see in me then?”
She grinned. “Like you said about me, you’re sweet, caring, smart and honest about yourself. You’re also handsome to boot.” She said the last part with a giggle while I flushed a little and bashfully scratch my cheek at her words.
When she didn't say more for a second, I smirked. “Not to mention that I’m an alien of an exotic species never heard of in Equestria, or the whole planet for that matter?” I half-joked.
She merely rolled her eyes at that. “Yes, that too. Not only that, you’re also the type to take things in stride no matter what the situation turns out to be,” she says sincerely before she added with bedroom eyes, “Let’s not forget you’re also gullible when it comes to my teasing and flirting.”
I scratched my cheek modestly, but said nothing else and gave her an appreciative smile. After a minute of silence, my smile changed to one of curiosity. “Why do you ask these questions? Not that I’m not surprised, but this is unusual coming from you.”
She tensed a bit, as if hesitating on the answer. After an uneasy pause, she looked at me once more with a somewhat serious expression. “Would you still consider having a relationship with a mare?” It was at this point before I bursted out laughing, leaving her even more confused as I pounded a fist on the armrest. “Did I say something funny?”
I stopped laughing instantly, still grinning, to speak, “Okay. Who are you and what have you done to Rain? I know she wouldn’t act like this, not by a long shot.”
The only response I received was a light jab on the left arm, making me laugh and wince simultaneously (Because light jab plus Earth Pony’s enhanced strength equals still feels like a punch. Ouch.). “Come on, I’m being serious here!” she gripes at my behavior with an adorable pout.
I rubbed the arm she hit to lessen the pain as I continued to chuckle before finally calming down. For a long minute of silence I just stared ahead inexpressibly while contemplating on what to say. At first, I wanted to just not say anything since it seems uncomfortable to talk about it, but Rain really seems intent on wanting to know. Since I’ve known her longer than anyone else, I feel it’s only fair for her to know since she actually cares about me… in her own way, of course. With a depressing sigh, I turned to her fully in my seat.
“Rain, I’m going to be blunt with you about this, so try not to take any offense, okay?” I finally spoke while gazing into her blue eyes. She remained still for a second, probably worried about my answer, before giving me a nod. “If someone were to ask me that very question during the first few weeks I’ve been here, I would laugh in their face and tell them to go fuck themselves.” She flinched a little at my use of vulgarity, but continued listening. “When you asked me if Twilight gave me a lesson about Equestrian relationships, I really did tune her out because I didn’t have any interest whatsoever in having a relationship with someone not of my kind at the time. Plus, it's considered taboo having a relationship with different species, alien or not.” I looked down in slight shame as I continued, “It's also because a part of me still held onto the hope that I would be able to return to Earth, to be with other humans again, even after learning the depressing truth that I won’t be able to.”
I then broke my gaze from her and stared at the fireplace, my mood becoming more somber as I continued. “But as the days came and gone, I soon started to realize that fleeting hope is slowly becoming nothing but wishful thinking. It was only until after the third week of the second month that I couldn’t deny it anymore.” I let out a sobering sigh. “It was hard, but I finally came to just accept things as they are so I could move on, even if it means no longer seeing my family and friends.” I shook my head, silently berating myself for ranting in front of my guest. I shouldn’t --
My internal struggling is interrupted when I felt a hand gripping mine that rested at my side, and I looked down to see it was Rain’s. I trailed my eyes up her arm towards her blue ones, which held a mix of concern and understanding. “You were fine whenever I came by to see you,” she says in a soft, caring tone. “You always look happy whenever your friends come by.”
“It was just a façade,” I snapped, causing the mare to flinch again from my tone. I silently chastised myself before continuing my tangent in a much calmer tone. “While I was living at Twilight's and here, I had to to hide the emotional train wreck I was going through from them and you. I didn't want to lose any friends I made during my time here because of my problems. You have never noticed, but I was very depressed when I was unceremoniously pulled from my world, Rain, and the fear of being alone only made it worse. Anyone who had the same thing happen to them would be just as well. I would have just shut out everyone, including you. Any other human who wasn't as strong-willed as I am would have just ended it there and then.” Her eyes widen as a hurt expression appeared on her face, but I shook my head a little before a warm smile appeared on my face. “But I didn’t, because all of you actually cared about me and stuck around to help me out through the tough times, and I couldn’t be any more grateful for it. I grew up with mostly people who didn’t give two shits about others, but none of you were like that. It was thanks to all of you, especially you, that I fought through my depression.”
She blushed at my praise, but smiled and gave my hand a comforting squeeze, which is welcoming. “I never knew you were hurting until now, and despite our differences, I do understand what you're going through,” she says softly. “Just know that you're not and never will be alone, and we never turn away a hurting friend. Twilight, her friends, we'll always be there for you, and if you're ever in need of someone to talk to, I will be here to listen and help. Okay?”
I was touched by her words. Honestly, I felt better letting it all out, especially when there is a great friend like her to hear me out, so I gave her a very grateful smile. A minute of silence that followed along with the smartphone continuing its music hung a little bit before Rain decided to speak again.
“So if somepony were to ask now if you would consider having a relationship with a mare, you're willing to give it a chance?” she asked in a hopeful tone.
I paused a bit before nodding. “While it's still a bit of a culture shock for me and I'm still trying my best to get used to it, I’ll give it a try, but…” I trailed off and looked down and away as I started feeling a bit conflicted.
She noticed my silence and frowned. “‘But’ what?”
I sighed somberly. “It's… it's hard to explain, but I don’t know if it would help rid this empty feeling in my heart. It’s like I lost a part of me when I lost my home,” I admitted sadly. ‘Can loving someone from a different species really help heal so deep a wound?’
I continued to not make eye contact even after I spoke; I just couldn’t bring myself to see how she feels after saying that. Would she be angry? Sad? Despite her earlier compliments about me, would I be able to return her feelings if she were to like me as more than a friend? I don’t know anymore.
After a long minute, I barely noticed the sofa cushion shift again and her hand no longer gripping mine, but definitely felt two soft hands gently grabbing my face and applying a bit of pressure, silently asking to look at her. Hesitantly, I did so only to find Rain’s muzzle a mere inch from my face. While taken a bit by surprise and almost leaned back at the sudden invasion of personal space, I saw in her blue eyes nothing but pure kindness, and something else.
“If that is truly how you feel, Johnny, then please, let me help you,” she says in a very soft tone.
I frowned. “What are you - mmph!” I was about to ask what she was talking about, but was suddenly cut off as she closed her eyes and the distance, locking lips with my own in a soft kiss.
To say I was surprised would be a vast understatement; shock went through me as my eyes widen at her advance. I wanted to push her away, to tell her this is wrong, but for some strange reason my body would not obey my commands. At the same time, the warm, fuzziness I have been feeling from tonight and last week came back again, only a bit stronger.
And yet, it felt so right.
Instead, my eyes slowly close while my hands reached her cheeks as I leaned into the kiss. Noticing this, Rain decided to take it a bit further by changing seats. Gently pushing me to rest my back fully against the sofa, she situated herself on top of me, straddling my lap without breaking the kiss. It felt like eternity, but the kiss broke as we panted for much needed air, but she kept her muzzle close.
“Rain, I…,” I breathed out but couldn't find any words as we stared at each other, heavily blushing at the close contact of our bodies.
“Hush,” she shushed softly, yet sensually and lovingly while giving me a lustful smile. “Just sit back and let this mare help fill that emptiness. Let me replace that missing part of you and make you feel happy again,” she whispered as she comes close again.
“...Rain,” was all I could say as a smile slowly formed, getting lost in her soft, blue eyes and loving tone before closing the distance once more.
There was nothing but silence save for the soft pattering of rain outside and the music still playing on my phone as we make out, this time with much more passion and desire. I can feel my body along with hers heat up as the passion started to cloud our judgment and slightly remove any self-doubt I had, though I think the effects of the alcohol from dinner factored in that as well. I wrapped my arms around the mare’s waist to pull her closer while hers wrapped around my neck in a loving embrace. She decided to step it up as I felt her lips open followed by something wet prodding my own, asking for entry. I complied and allowed her equine tongue through to explore around my mouth. Her body shivered as her muscle lightly grazed against the sharpness of my teeth, obviously enjoying the exotic sensation an omnivore can offer, before finally tapping my own tongue. It then retreated as she allowed me to explore her mouth and get a feel of her flat teeth in return, which felt typical for a herbivore, yet pleasant all the same. Her tongue then started to push, and I reciprocated in kind as we fought for dominance. I lost just after a few seconds of wrestling, which is to be expected due to hers being a bit larger than my own and held mine down. Then, her tongue hugs around my own in an embrace for a bit. As much as we wanted to continue the kiss, the lack of oxygen forced us to part, a string of saliva connecting our lips before breaking. We exchanged light breaths of air as we gaze into each other’s eyes, hers filled with desire. She then started to feel and massage my shoulders with her hands as they snake down to feel my torso, biting her lower lip in excited anticipation upon feeling my slightly-toned chest and abs beneath by my t-shirt. Feeling a little bold myself, I let my hands snake down her back, getting a feel of her hourglass-shaped body and curves beneath the borrowed garment before resting right on her slightly-toned rump, massaging them a little. The action alone made her moan lowly and grind her hips a little, making my shorts become gradually tight in the process. Spurred on by the cute sound, I continued the ministrations, loving the firm yet soft feel of her buttcheeks as they somewhat inflate around my fingers, just how I like it in a woman. She leaned in to bring us in a short, passionate kiss before breaking away and leaning to my left.
“Upstairs. Bedroom. Now,” she whispered huskily in my ear, making me shudder as she lightly nibbled on it.
Rain straightened before getting off my lap and stood. She then turned and strutted towards the stairs, my eyes directly on her swaying hips and tail. When she was out of sight with the sound of hooves growing distant, I stood up as well, powered off the phone and followed, ignoring the uncomfortable tightness formed down below that made it a bit difficult to walk normally. Reaching the second floor, I saw my bedroom door was slightly cracked open. Giddy with anticipation, I slowly pushed it open and walked in, only for my eyes to feel like they were going to pop out and my jaw unhinge for the second time at the sight before me.
Rain is laying down on the bed facing me, this time without the shirt that's lying at the foot of the bed. Giving me bedroom eyes and blushing, one of her hands was fondling with one her exposed breast while the other was moving underneath her panties. My brain feels like it was going to explode.
"Oh, Johnny~,” she coos, giving me a look that clearly says “come hither”. “Are you going to join me, or just stand there and stare all night?”
Shaking my head rapidly to rid the shock, I walked - well, more like dragged my feet actually - towards her until I was at the foot of the bed. Not one to leave a mare hanging, I reached down and discarded my own shirt to level the playing field, making her brows raise and bite her lower lip in excitement at finally seeing my exposed chest, before slowly crawling onto the bed until I was hovering over her with my eyes locked on hers. As she removed and repositioned her hands to rest on the pillow beside her head, I took a minute to admire the mare's body and her two colors. Her brown fur covers her chest entirely including her lithe stomach and hips, but leaves her areolae exposed. A white line stretches underneath her arms and bosom, connected with the white on her back. There is also another line of white over and between her brown thighs like a natural thong underneath her material one. While she was pretty with clothes on, she is now even more beautiful than ever. I leaned in and kissed her passionately, making her moan into it, before parting and trailing small kisses and gentle bites down her cheek and neck. She shuddered at the feel of my sharp teeth; the fear of them capable of piercing her skin excited her even more. Reaching her chest, I pulled back just shy of reaching her breasts, which I took some more time to admire.
“You can do more than just stare,” the mare hinted gently.
I looked up once again to be sure, which she affirmed with a nod, before leaning on the left side for balance while using my right hand to reach up and grope her left tit. It felt amazingly soft to the touch as my fingers brushed against it, making Rain coo at the touch. I grabbed a handful and gave it a light squeeze, causing it to inflate like a balloon and a light moan to escape the mare's lips. Seeing how I'm doing it right, I lowered my body gently on top of her to allow my other hand to grab the other. As I continued to massage, twist and feel around her bosom, I watched Rain close her eyes and sigh blissfully. Grinning, I took it further by placing the index and middle fingers around each nipple that stood erect and tweaked a bit, causing her breath to hitch in her throat. The sound spurred me on, so I continued to do it, making her feel like putty in my hands.
“Oo~! That f-feels nice!” she moaned, squirming a bit as I continue my ministrations.
I smiled at her words before grinning mischievously. I leaned my head down until I was just above her left nipple and gave a slow lick, making her eyes shoot open and gasp more. I traced around her areolae a couple times before bringing the erect nipple in my mouth. She let out a sigh of bliss as I suckle and lightly bite on it, one of her hands now resting behind my head to fondle with my hair. After at least ten sucks, I let go to give the other the equal amount of attention. Rain moaned and shivered as the ministrations sent small spikes of pleasure through her spine.
Finally decided that enough was enough, I stopped and shifted, Rain removing her hand, to continue trailing kisses once more down her stomach making her giggle at the tickling sensation, crawling backwards as I did so. It wasn’t long before I finally stopped just between her legs above her panties, which appears to be slightly damp from her arousal. Sitting up a little, I looked up at the mare’s face to see her blushing cutely while looking down at me between her mounds of titflesh, silently asking for permission to continue. With a nod of her head, I returned to her panties before raising an index finger and prod the wet spot. Though just barely a touch, it still got a reaction from the mare in front of me making her legs twitch from my peripherals. Rain reached down her left thigh and pulled one of the strings to loosen the knot. I leaned back a bit, allowing her to raise her hips and legs and pull them down. Once on the hoof, she flicked her right leg out, letting the panties join the other discarded clothing on the floor, thus leaving her moist marehood on full display. I honestly expected due to her being part pony that it would look like that of a normal mare: a vagina shaped like a tear (Not that I’ve looked at them that way, but I used to ride horseback. You would see a thing or two when they do their “business”.). Instead, it’s just like a human woman’s, the only difference is that its folds were as white as her fur with a pink tunnel within. Realizing I wasn’t moving for a bit, I returned to reality and leaned in while Rain shuddered in anticipation. A musky, intoxicating scent hit my nose as I gazed at her flower, giving away how aroused she is. With an index and middle finger, I lightly traced the folds and occasionally spread them apart to reveal her nethers, making her twitch and moan a little louder than before. Her vulva suddenly winked, surprising me a little since no woman could do that. Huh. I guess despite its human-like appearance, it can still do that like a normal mare. Go figure.
Rain continues to writhe from my teasing. “St-stop teasing me,” she finally groaned out her displeasure.
“Oh? And why should I since you always tease me every time?” I retorted playfully, not letting up.
All the mare could respond with is a whine and pouty lip. Unable to resist that look, I complied with her plea and plunged the two fingers into her love tunnel, making her eyes widen and gasp again. She squirmed more as my fingers wiggle around inside her snatch, her walls hardly trying to pull them further within and wet in her natural lubricant. I pulled out, making her whine in protest, and brought the fingers now coated in her juices to my face. I sniffed it, getting a much stronger smell of her musk, before popping one in my mouth. My eyebrows raised in surprise at the not-so-bitter taste. I looked to Rain eyeing my other finger with curious hunger, so I leaned in and brought it to her. Eagerly, she took it in her own mouth and sucked on it, humming in delight at the taste before letting go and leaving said finger coated in saliva in place. That was hot as hell and the little jolt of excitement from “Little John” voiced its agreement. Seeing that I couldn't get enough, I positioned myself to where I'm halfway off the bed and my head is between her thighs, just inches from her marehood. I exhaled a short breath, causing her to twitch and wink at me. Then, I stuck my tongue out and traced her delicate folds, and Rain reacted with a whimper of delight. Whenever I circle around and ascend to the top, she winks out her clit and gets a flick in the process, turning her whimpers into cries each time. For every ten circles, my tongue would lick between her vulva, tasting more of her juices. To my surprise, it tastes strangely fruity. I felt her hand rest on my head once more and give a little pressure, silently telling me what she really wanted. Not one to deny a mare, I extended my tongue further and penetrate her folds. She moaned out constantly as I traced the alphabet against her inner walls, a steady stream of marecum flowing down my chin and into my mouth.
“Ahh~! P-please, don't - Oh~! - stop! Keep goieeEE~! g-going!” Rain manage to say through her moaning, her legs involuntarily bucking occasionally as I ate her out.
Said legs then wrapped themselves around my head and her hand gripped some of my hair to hold me in place, so I had no choice but to comply with her request. Not that I have any intention of stopping anyway. Her tunnel convulsed a little and her clitoris lightly booped my nose frequently whenever my tongue brushed a particular spot that felt bumpy in her nethers, and hearing her cry louder than ever tells me she's more sensitive there, so I turned my oral assault on that very spot.
“I'm getting -aaAHH~! c-close!!” she nearly screamed, her clenching walls and increasing speed of her fluids further proving of her impending climax.
I barely heard her due to her legs covering my ears, but managed to catch on. Tripling my efforts with both hands, I reached around and under her legs, using one to play with her winking sacred button with my thumb while my other fingered her vagina. The triple assault on her love tunnel, g-spot and her clit was too much for Rain, sending her over the edge. With her legs gripping me to the point of near crushing and her hand pushing my face further into her marehood, the mare screamed (More like neighed, to be precise.) her lungs out towards the ceiling as she rode out the waves of coitus, spraying my mouth and chin with her natural fluids. She is one loud squirter, that's for sure.
After what felt like a long minute, she went limp and her legs unwrapped and relaxed, allowing me to sit up for air and see her panting with a blissful expression. When she finally calmed down, Rain’s eyes regained focus to look at me, giggling at my marecum-drenched face.
“Looks like I made a mess,” she commented before sighing in satisfaction. “But that felt great!”
I grinned and chuckled. “Well, I'm glad to please,” I commented, licking my lips to clean off the fluids while mentally patting myself on the back on a job well done.
She looked at me with a praiseworthy smirk. “I never knew you were one for foreplay. I only heard from other mares that only a select few stallions do it, let alone oral; most just go right to the ‘main event’.”
I raised a skeptical brow at that before shaking my head in disappointment. “Is that so? Then I feel sorry for the mares. Those guys probably don't know what they're missing out on.”
When nothing else was said, I was about to move to clean up, but Rain beat me to it by suddenly reaching out and pulled me down to the bed, making me yelp in surprise at her sudden recovery. Now laying on top of her, she pulled me into an aggressive kiss while licking off the excess fluids around my mouth and chin, humming in delight before pulling back and giving me a half-lidded look. Once again, she left me stupefied for the umpteenth time.
“And where do you think you're going?” she crooned seductively. I yelped again when she embraced me and turned us over until she was now straddling me, pinning me down. “Do you think you're going to leave this bed without me returning the favor?” she asked deviously, making my eyes widen with surprise excitement. She closed in and locked lips with me softly once again while grinding her worked marehood onto the tent of my shorts, making the garments more uncomfortable than they already were. She pulled back to whisper huskily in my ear, “Just relax and let Rainy do her work, okay?” before nuzzling the lobe, sending shivers down my spine.
To start, she trailed small kisses, licks and nibbles down my neck like I did to her, sending spikes of pleasure down my spine. She continued as she sensually crawled downwards, her chest and nipples purposefully rubbing against my bare chest. Finally, she stopped to nuzzle and lick on a nipple, and I raised my head to look at her. Her eyes connect with mine while she did it, expecting some sort of reaction. Seeing my expression remained unchanged, she stopped to look at me in confusion.
“Doesn't that feel good?” she asked me curiously. I just gave her a raised brow, so she reiterated, “Your nipples. They're supposed to be a human’s pleasure points, right?”
I shook my head negatively. “For human women, yeah,” I answered emphatically, then paused for a second before the realization hit me. “Stallions have them as well, right?” She shook her head in response. “Well, that explains it.” I shook my head and gave her a half-smile. “It did feel strange, though.”
“So they're not sensitive? They're just there without serving any purpose?” she asks.
“They are sensitive, but nowhere as pleasurable as women's,” I answered her first question, mentally wincing at the thought of the painful “purple nurples”, and shrugged as I added to her second question, “So pretty much.”
At that, Rain just shrugged, though she was probably disappointed she couldn't bring me the same pleasure I did her. Not letting it hold her back, however, she returned to her earlier ministrations. I forced down a chuckle from the tickling sensations she’s giving on my stomach. I guess she loves the feel of my six pack if her tongue tracing its lines is any indication. I also feel her boobs pressing against my shorts as she crawled further downwards. Finally, she pulled back and positioned herself until she's halfway off the bed, allowing me to prop up on my elbows to watch as her eyes are now glued to my shorts. Well, more on the noticeable tent formed from my arousal. It was uncomfortable as my pride strained through its material prison, demanding to be free. Her eyes then locked with mine before a devilish smirk graced her muzzle.
“Is that for me? Oh, you shouldn't have,” Rain coos playfully with a giggle. A hand slowly tip-toed its way up my leg and onto the shorts before gripping the bulge to get a feel through the obscuring garment, making my breath hitch. “Feels like you got quite the ‘package’ there, but how big is it, I wonder?” I flushed at her use of dirty talk while she continued to guess-feel around the tip and side in scrutinizing detail. Then her grin grew as both hands snaked its fingers in to grip the rim of my shorts and boxers. “Well, only one way to find out~.”
Then with one slow movement and me raising my hips in assistance, her fingers pulled down the garment until they were at my ankles, thus springing my manhood free and at semi-full mast. For a brief second, I started to feel a little self-conscious about my size. Pulling the garments off entirely and tossing it aside, Rain’s eyes widen the moment she sets eyes back on the prize hidden beneath, taking in its size and length. One hand slowly reaches up to grab and examine it, her touch sending small spikes of pleasure up my spine and make me shudder.
“Hmm, veiny around the sides and slightly big on the bottom, sensitive to the touch everywhere, doesn't have a medial ring and has a cute, round tip instead of a flared head,” she worded her examination, and when she saw my quizzical brow at her words, she blushed while grinning. “I read some erotica novels whenever I have free time,” she confessed.
I rolled my eyes at this, then they widen and I gasp when her soft hands slowly started to stroke my rod. I looked at the bold mare giving me a shit-eating grin as she continued, and I gritted my teeth to stifle a groan. The handjob is pleasurable, and soon my pride finally reached full mast which is eight inches, making her brows raise higher in turn. I think I saw her almost drooling before she caught herself.
“Wow, and bigger than what I heard about in stallions, too!” she commented. That comment alone made me curious as well as overthrew my building self-consciousness.
“H-how, uh, big are the average - Hngh! - st-stallions?” I had to ask despite the surging pleasure and lust shooting through my body.
“About six to seven inches at most. Very few healthy studs can reach up to at least nine,” Rain answers casually. Again, mind-blowing difference between the equines here and the ones from Earth, yet understandable due to the former being human-like. Better yet, I’m also glad to know that I’m not the biggest overall. Then she stopped stroking much to my displeasure, but leaned further while still grinning. “But enough about that. It's your turn to be pleasured.”
She leaned in close until her muzzle touched the tip, sniffing on the way down until she passed the base and into my ball sack and inhaled deeply, taking in my musky scent. Rain shuddered at the possibly intoxicating smell and exhaled right on my rod, making it twitch in turn. She lifted up her head and looked at me with bedroom eyes before slowly stroking again, making me let out a low groan. She took it up a notch by leaning in and giving the base a lick, then trailing it up and down my shaft, humming at the salty taste and making me gasp and lean my head back. Her soft hand and wet tongue felt pleasurable, no doubt about it. Her tongue then circled around the tip, making it and I twitch. After a few seconds, she winked at me before opening her mouth and wrapping around the tip. My breath hitched, then I let out a loud, unstifled groan to the ceiling when she suddenly took in the whole length at once, her muzzle touching the base and my tip touching the back of her throat. Her gag reflexes kicked in hard and she ascended until she released my cock entirely, coughing a fit. I looked at her with concern, wanting to ask if she's alright, but she shook her head and smiled up at me.
“Sorry. I thought I could try to take it in one gulp,” she confessed while her ears splayed back in embarrassment.
I nodded in reply, and told her to take it easy for now. She did when she returned her attention back to my cock. This time, she started by taking me in her mouth again and lowered to take a bit of my length into her mouth. When she came up, she went down further while her tongue wraps my rod before continuing a steady rhythm. Her mouth combined with her tongue work is fucking amazing, more so than her hand. Then, after ten seconds of blowing she suddenly stopped, leaving my cock coated in her saliva.
“You haven't came yet? Most stallions would have cum in just twenty seconds,” she points out with surprise.
I gave her a look that clearly says “Seriously?” before shaking my head and smirked. “I hate to break it to you, Rainy, but humans don't have a hair-trigger like stallions do. We can last in bed a lot longer if we have what it takes.”
The mare's eyes looked like they're about to pop out of their sockets at my explanation. “How long?” she whispered in askance, probably dreading the answer.
“At most? Ten minutes up to half an hour, depending on the stamina, mood and arousal,” I replied with a shit-eating grin.
I almost failed to hold in a guffaw threatening to burst upon seeing her dumbstruck expression at my answer. It was fucking priceless! I stopped chuckling the moment she shook her head and glared at my rod, and I swore I saw fire in her eyes, which honestly looked a little scary.
“Well, I'm not going to let that stop me from returning the favor, and getting what I want,” she declared with determination in her tone.
I was about to ask what she meant by that last part when she suddenly took me in her mouth and grip in one hand and starts steadily bobbing and stroking once again, so my head leaned back once more and a loud groan escaped my lips instead at the double pleasure. After every five blows and strokes for the next ten seconds, Rain would leave the tip in her mouth and suckle on it like a lollipop. My hips involuntarily jerk upwards at the sensation, and my rod twitched before feeling a bead of pre leave its tip. Her tongue that swirled around my cock within licked it up, her eyes widen and hummed in delight, the vibrations making me jerk again. She let go again, but kept her handjob going while looking at me while I watched with glazed eyes.
“Mmm. Salty yet sweet,” was all she said before licking the tip again to coax out more, but I could barely register her words due to my lust-addled mind. She went back to work, but picked up the pace a bit. Her unkempt mane started getting in her face at the moment, so I reached down with one hand to grab a handful and held it to the side without hindering her rhythm, which she hummed in thanks. After a bit, one of her hands crawled underneath her. A muffled moan reverberated through my twitching manhood, and seeing her swishing tail and raised hips, I realized she was pleasuring herself as well. After what seems like forever spent with her blowing me, my cock that was once twitching frequently suddenly stilled before followed by a slowly building pressure I haven't felt for the longest time, signaling my incoming peak.
“Sh-shit! Rain, I'm - Ah! - I'm about to c-cum!” I groaned out a warning.
Rain’s ears raised in my direction shows that she heard me, yet she didn't stop. Instead, I was forced to release her mane and “white-knuckle” grip the bed sheets when her head bobbed faster, her mouth now making slurping sounds while sucking like an oral vacuum cleaner. She continued the handjob to the mix while using her other that was formerly fingering herself to massage my balls. The pressure was building much faster than I could process due to the added stimulation, and I vainly mustered with all my willpower to hold it back. Rain then stopped at the tip for a second, removed her hands, then slammed down to deep throat again, ignoring her gag reflex this time as her throat squeezed my rod. The battle of wills was a lost cause, and my lower body made one last, strong uplift and held.
“AHH!” I yelped out as the pressure became too much to bear and bursts.
Three months without sexual relief finally made itself known with a vengeance, hitting me hard. My cock pulsed and shot its essence down her throat in huge spurts. Rain, for her part, hummed as she felt each drop go down and tried her best to swallow every bit of it. Yet, despite her efforts, she reluctantly had to free my spire from her maw, letting the rest of the semen shoot up to the air and land on her muzzle and breasts. I don't know how much I released since I was still riding out the waves of ecstasy, but it must have been a lot if she couldn't take it. After what felt like the longest ten seconds of my life, my cock made one final twitch before it and and the rest of me went limp. I was out of breath and my eyes were unfocused. When I tried to speak, all that came out was a blissful sigh.
When the world finally stopped spinning, I weakly raised my head up to see what the mare who brought me to orgasm was doing, only to get a most erotic sight as my answer: Rain is currently using her tongue to clean off her boobs, whether unknown or uncaring that I'm watching, before using her fingers to swipe whatever is left on her muzzle, which she popped into her mouth. She finally glanced at me, smirked, and opened her mouth to show the essence gathered within, before closing it and swallowed, a noticeable knot slowly going down her neck. The mare hummed in delight as the essence joined the rest.
“Holy fuck, that was hot as hell!” I breathed out in awe, my semi-hard cock twitched in agreement.
She just giggled as she gets up and repositioned herself to her knees on the mattress. “Thanks for the compliment… and for the delicious ‘snack’,” she added with a suggestive wink while licking her lips a bit. “I'm surprised at the amount you gave me, since you nearly came buckets.” She rubbed her belly to make her point before giving me a knowing smirk. “I'm guessing you haven't had any release since you've been here, huh?” The way she says that so bluntly made me smile sadly, because she's actually right on that point; sex and masturbation was the last thing on my mind since my “Arrival”. She gave me a look of genuine understanding before it changed to slight disappointment when she looked at my manhood that appears slightly limp. “Too bad that we won’t be able to take it further tonight,” she sighs.
At those words, I just gave her my own knowing grin. “Wanna bet?” I challenged, causing her to look back at me in confusion. “Just give it several minutes and it’ll be ready for round two,” I explained with a wink, chuckling at her widening eyes.
“You can go again?!” she questioned a little loudly, disbelief lacing her tone.
I rolled my eyes again. “Look, I’m not one to brag or speak like we’re above the princesses or anything, but men at our healthiest are considered ‘gods’ in bed when it comes to sex. We can go two to three rounds without feeling tired in the meantime.”
While I’m not one to give lectures like Twilight, I’m actually enjoying this because of Rain’s reaction, and her shock and stupefied expression is worth telling one, especially when it comes to the human sex drive and such. She shook her head to clear her stupor before giving me bedroom eyes, her tail noticeably twitching behind.
“Well, in that case,” she purrs while crawling on top of me once again until her face is level with mine.
Rain finished her sentence by leaning in and locking lips with my own aggressively, which I was happy to return without hesitation. My hands reached over and groped her flanks, making her moan in my mouth while she in turn grinded her marehood that was wet from her earlier stimulation over my cock, trying to coax it to full mast once more. Despite it feeling a little oversensitive from the first round, the latter slowly complied. When it finally reached its limit, Rain and I parted from the kiss with a gasp for air, yet the grinding persists. With a lustful grin, she gazed into my eyes, full of passion and need.
“Ohh, Johnny~. You don’t know how long I waited for this. For you to take me, to rut me and make me your mare,” she breathed huskily while her body shudders in anticipation.
I gave her a short kiss on the lips before giving her a serious look. “Are you absolutely sure you want this?” I asked her gently.
Her head nods rapidly. “Y-yes! I want -- No, I need this! I need you,” she answered without hesitation. Her eyes seem to sparkle like she was about to cry, but no tears came forth. Instead, they seem to glisten with something else entirely, but what she says next - with a bit of hesitation this time - made everything around me including time stop, “I… I love you, John.”
To say I was stunned by her words would be a vast understatement at this point. Never have I expected her to outright confess her feelings like that. Yet after all the teasing and flirting she did to me, I’ve been ignorant of my own feelings and hers… until now. That tingly, warm feeling I feel in my heart started to grow into something much more when my brain finally started to register her words. Realizing I was doing nothing but staring a thousand yards away, I bring myself to my senses to look at Rain. Her expression is becoming fearful, borderline on heartbreak when I haven’t said anything in response, and it made my heart wrench seeing such a sight. When it looked like she was about to cry, I pulled her down before she could attempt to run off and kissed her on the lips. Shocked, she closed her eyes as a sense of relief washed over her, and when we parted, my hand gently rubs her cheek that leans into it, a smile forming on her muzzle as she leaned into it.
“I’m sorry, Rain, but your confession left me completely speechless for the moment. I did not expect that,” I explained with a contrite smile.
Her eyes glistened again. “D-does that mean you--?” she asks in a hopeful and happy tone.
I smile lovingly and said, “I love you, too,” before bringing her back into a long, passionate kiss, which she eagerly returned with joyous fervor. What was once that fuzzy feeling now blazed like a gentle inferno, a fiery love that burns for the mare on top of me.
I don’t know how long we were at it, but a twitch from both sides down below reminded us what we were supposed to start. Rain was lightly panting after we ended the make-out session, but there was elation and love in her eyes combined with desire. Slowly, she looked down below us and raised herself a bit, reaching down with her right hand to grab and line up my rehardened pride with her sacred flower. Once the tip is placed right between her folds, she suddenly stopped. I looked up at her in wonder only to see something I never honestly expected from her: nervousness.
“Is everything alright?” I asked gently, rubbing her balancing forearm with one hand as comfort.
She nodded her head. “Y-yeah. It’s just… this is my first time,” she confessed in a low tone with her ears splayed back, making my eyes bug out.
I swear to every god in the universe and beyond, I really thought she was experienced at this, but to hear her say she’s actually a virgin shocked me to the very core. Just when I thought she couldn't surprise me any more, this bit of news takes the cake. Here is a mare who likes to tease me with little to no shame and just laugh good-naturedly, now finding herself nervous when we’re about to actually do it. Getting over the shock, I held her flanks enough to keep her from taking the plunge, making her look at me questioningly.
“Rain, if you’re uncomfortable about this, then you don’t need to --” I tried to gently tell her but was cut off when she glared at me.
“No! I-I want to do this, John. I can’t just stop now,” she objected in a soft tone. She swallowed a little and smiled. “I said earlier that I'm giving myself to you, and I want you to have me.”
I realized how serious she is and gave her an understanding smile. “Well, if that’s what you want, then lie on your back and let me take over, please.”
She looked at me curiously, then complied and moved aside, allowing me to roll over so she could take my place. When she did as told, she watched as I took her place on top. Despite her nerves showing, she looks extremely cute the way she’s blushing red as a tomato and her ears splayed against her head, especially when she felt my manhood brushing against her stomach. I gave her a brief kiss on the lips before giving her a loving smile.
“Just relax and let me do the rest, okay?” I whispered, getting a short nod in response.
Just like before, I trailed butterfly kisses down her neck, but stopped right above her bosom. From there, I straighten and scoot back until I am sitting between her legs, my member primed and resting between her sacred petals. I gently rubbed it to let her juices coat it a bit so the penetration will be much smoother and less painful for her. The mare shivers in anticipation for what's about to take place. With the tip fully lubed I gripped and lined it up with her flower, then leaned forward again without moving my lower body too much until I was face to face with Rain once again. This way, I can comfort her during the process.
“Are you ready?” I asked her for the last time. “Tell me to stop if it becomes too much, okay?”
Rain, while still nervous, gave me a final nod to go and wrapped her arms around my back. So with that, her folds parted for entry as I slowly penetrate her. Despite the earlier stimulation and the lubrication her insides provide, her pussy is still tight; for every three seconds, I manage an inch in, and for every three inches, I was met with resistance from her walls and held for a few seconds. Her insides were hot as it gripped my pride, and it took a lot of my willpower to not give to my lust and take her right then and there. I wouldn’t live with myself if I hurt her on her first time. As for Rain, she clenched her eyes shut as tears threaten to break out, whimpering in pain. All I could do was continuously kiss her on the nose and whisper sweet words in her ear to divert her attention, which barely help somewhat.
Finally after what felt like a long minute passed, I almost bottomed out, but my tip hits something thin and fleshy, something that officially lets every man know of their woman's first time: her hymen. A few stray tears she couldn’t hold back left her eyes, but I remained patient and waited, which isn’t long. She nodded her go ahead, and was unable to hold back her cry and more tears as I pushed through and finally became one with her. Her fingernails grazed harshly against my back drawing a bit of blood, and my arms nearly buckled when her walls painfully gripped me. Yet, I pushed through the pain and held firm as I continued to comfort her with my words, even using one hand to wipe away her rolling tears and rub her head. The room lit briefly, followed by a low rumble of thunder from outside, but it was ignored; my focus is completely on the mare I’m comforting. Another minute later, Rain managed to calm down a bit and open her teary eyes to look at me, a painful smile gracing her muzzle. It stabbed my heart a bit when she looked so vulnerable like this, so I leaned in and briefly kissed her before gazing into her eyes.
“Are you alright?” I asked in genuine concern.
She nodded weakly. “It hurts, badly, and you feel so big in there,” she breathed out, shifting her lower body a bit and wincing. “J-just give me a minute to get used to it.” I complied with her request, allowing a brief reprieve so she could adjust to my girth. It felt perversely good when her tight walls shift around my rod even if painful for her. Letting out a sigh, she stopped. “Okay. You can start now.”
I kissed her again and nodded. “I'll start off slow so you can get used to the feeling, okay?” I told her and she nodded in return.
As promised, I start to pull out at no more than a snail's pace, making her slightly whimper more in pain than pleasure as my rod leaves the warm confines of her marehood until it's just the tip inside. Then just as slowly, I push back in until I fully hilted her. After five more slow thrusts, her walls slowly relaxed along with the rest of the mare, her whimpers of pain soon became low moans of pleasure. Inwardly happy that I'm now bringing out the pleasure, I started to enjoy the feeling of her insides massaging all the right spots.
“Faster, please,” she spoke up through her moans.
I complied and picked up the pace, making her moan louder. I started to get a bit uncomfortable after a few thrusts, so I straightened and held her legs up. Rain is clearly enjoying herself at the moment, even her hands were groping her boobs to bring out more pleasure.
“Oh~! Ah~! Oh, John! H-harder, please!” she cried out in bliss.
Acknowledging her, I sacrificed a bit of speed for a bit of force, and the faint slapping sound of our hips meeting another is barely heard. I could feel my rod twitching a little but I didn't want to finish prematurely since she's nowhere close yet, so I slowed down at a normal pace again. Suddenly, Rain cried out as her walls briefly vice-grip me and stop for a second before relaxing, and a bit of her juices dripped down my balls and onto the bedsheets below. I think she just had a mini-orgasm. Her hips grinded a bit as a signal for me to keep going, so I did.
Ah~! Aaahh~! Go faster and rut me harder! Don't - Ah~! - stop!!” she screamed out over her increasingly loud moans.
Before I could follow up on her command, I stopped and pulled out completely, much to her whines of displeasure. Before she could voice her displeasure, I immediately scooted back, pulling her with me (She whinnied in surprise at the sudden movement.) as well until I was completely standing at the foot of the bed with her hindquarters near the edge. From there, I lined up again when she managed to speak.
“What are you - AaaAAAH~!” she was about to protest but let out a loud moan instead when I plunged and resumed fucking her at a much more faster and forceful pace.
Her legs and tail wrapped themselves around my waist, making sure I don’t escape this time. Not that I intend to anyway. The smell of our accumulating musk and sweat permeated the room and the sounds of her blissful moans and the loud slapping of our connecting hips became music to my ears, all serving to spur me on and pound her like a piston and nearly hitting her cervix. I can feel my cock and her vagina convulse more frequently. It wasn’t long before I felt the familiar pressure in my loins.
“R-Rain, I’m going to cum!” I groaned out loud enough over her screams.
“ME, T-TOO! CUM INSIDE ME! AAHHH~! FILL ME WITH YOUR SEED!!!” she screamed out.
For a brief second, I worried about getting her pregnant but derailed that thought as soon as it came due to us being different. At this point, my lust overthrew all rational thought and all I cared about is bringing us to our blissful end. Rain suddenly pulled herself up and wrap her arms around my neck, forcing me to hold her by her rump, and pull me into a deep and aggressive kiss as our orgasm approaches fast.
“RAIN!”
“JOHN!”
The pressure soon became too much for us to hold in, and we knew the love we shared is going to make this impending orgasm more amazing than our last. When it finally released and we came, we came hard. Her marehood sprayed and clenched around my cock like a vice, milking for all its worth while my manhood pulsed and fired rope upon rope of my seed into her womb as well as painting her insides white. Rain and I screamed our lungs out to the ceiling as the waves of coitus crashed over us and wracked our bodies, not caring if Ponyville or the whole world heard us. Let them for all I care, for the world should know that we love only each other and we're already taken.
We still stood there even after our orgasm slowly subsided as we were still on cloud nine. It was short-lived, however, and it wasn’t long before my legs finally gave out and I collapsed on my side onto the bed, still holding her and inside her.
“That was...” I tried to speak, but too lost in my post-coital high to finish.
“...Amazing,” Rain finished for me, and I hummed in agreement.
We finally managed to bring our breathing down to normal levels during the silence that joined us, but we didn’t care. There was nothing needed to be said at this time...
...Well, except maybe one thing. “So… I guess this means we’re more than just friends now?” I decided to ask while looking at her.
Rain slowly opened her eyes to meet mine. “That’s what you wanted, isn’t it?” she replied in askance, though I think her tone sounded worried.
I was about to think about it, but my heart intervened and told me to listen to it, not my mind. With the happiest smile on my face, I pulled her in closer. “Yes, and I wouldn’t have it any other way,” I answered in return with no reluctance in my tone.
She smiled back. She lifts her head to lock lips with me briefly before resting again on the pillow and closing her eyes. I was about to pull out, but Rain’s legs kept me from doing so, and the mare voiced her action.
“Please, leave it inside me. I want to feel you when I wake up in the morning,” she muttered out, her tone not hiding her fatigue.
I paused a bit before going limp in compliance. I would have reach down to cover us with the blankets, but that seems to be an impossible task now. Thanks to our lovemaking, however, our bodies are still warm and we're still holding each other, so no need for me to worry about waking up feeling cold. Another long silence hung in the air, and the only sound in the bedroom is Rain’s breathing and my own. The heavy storm outside had finally passed, and soft beams of light from Luna’s moon filtered through the window. During that time, I was thinking back on what we did and yet, I never felt angry nor repulsed by it. In fact, I enjoyed it to the fullest and I have no regrets whatsoever. Exhaustion had already took over Rain as she sleeps with a smile on her face, if her soft snores is any indication. Plus she looks even more beautiful when she’s this peaceful under the moonlight’s glow.
"Good night, Rainy," I whispered before giving her a light, loving kiss on her forehead, receiving a happy mumble and a closer snuggle in return.
It wasn’t long before I could feel myself being held in sleep’s sweet embrace and joined her in the land of dreams as well. For the first time in a long time since I was officially stuck here in the land of magical and talking ponies, I feel happy again. Not only that, I found the missing piece in my heart: a place for my new marefriend. I felt whole again...
I felt complete.
