The Derpy I Know And Love Volume 4: And The Children Shall Lead

It was the first day at work for Diamond and Sweetie since the wedding. Most of the customers at Rich’s Barnyard Bargains and at Carousel Boutique knew of the newlywed pony working there, most had been to the wedding. There were a great deal of congratulations and other well wishes. It was an unintended boon for the two shops because it brought in customers who may’ve not gone there that day.

At closing time, Sweetie Belle said goodnight to her father-in-law who had praised her professionalism at the job today. The hug received felt so much better when reflected on how he’d acted only a little over four years ago. Filthy reiterated she was now a full partner in the business. It did feel funny to no longer just be a daughter helping out, but a real owner in the business. Sweetie smiled as she walked back to Carousel Boutique and home. It was indeed a good day.

As she got to the Boutique, she saw Rarity leaving.

“Hello Mrs. Apple,” said Sweetie Belle.

“Well hello, Mrs. Rich,” said Rarity with a giggle. “How was your first real day at work?”

“I enjoyed it. It really wasn’t too different. But it’s nice that I’m actually a part of the family, in the family business.”

“I understand, I think your bride felt the same way today. I’ve never seen her take so much pride in her sewing.” Said Rarity with a smile. “By the way, the two of you have an invitation for tonight. I left it on the kitchen table. It’s not mandatory, but we’d really like to see you two there.”

Rarity and Sweetie Belle hugged and exchanged sisterly kisses, then Rarity trotted off toward Sweet Apple Acres.

Sweetie Belle came in and saw Diamond at the sewing machine.

“Honey! I’m home!” said Sweetie Belle, then with a laugh, “I’ve always wanted to say that.”

Diamond trotted over to her and gave her a big kiss.

“After the last two days,” said Diamond, “it was so hard to be apart.”

“I know,” said Sweetie Belle, “but it was kind of fun to work today. By the way, dad said to tell you hello.”

“He’s so sweet,” said Diamond, “ever since he decided to be a loving father and not some jerk with his head up his flanks.”

The two laughed.

“I saw Rarity as I was coming in, she said something about an invitation,” said Sweetie Belle, “what do you know about it?”

“I don’t know,’ said Diamond, “she said to wait to open it until you got home.”

They kissed again and walked into the kitchen. There on the table was a pink envelope. Addressed:

To: Mrs. And Mrs. Rich

From: OMC

When opened, it read:

Greetings Diamond Tiara And Sweetie Belle Rich;

You’re cordially invited to dinner at the Bon-Bon Candy Shop this evening at 7:30 p.m. We hope you’ll honor us with your presence and consider membership in our little club.

Until then we remain,

Sincerely Yours,

The Old Mares Club

“The Old Mares Club?” said Diamond and Sweetie at the same time.

“I guess it can’t hurt to check it out.” Said Sweetie, “at least we don’t have to cook tonight.”

“Dinner at the candy shop?” said Diamond, “that’d have been a dream come true when I was a little filly.”

The two laughed.

“Well that leaves us an hour, I wonder what we could do in the mean time?” said Diamond with a sly sideward glance at the stairs.

It took less than a minute for them to get up the stairs and into each other’s marehood.

It was 7:25 and Diamond and Sweetie were standing outside of Bon-Bon’s sweet shop. There was a closed sign on the door, but there were lights in the window and voices coming from inside.

They door was unlocked so they opened it and went in.

There were Twilight and Muffins Sparkle, Applejack and Rarity Apple, Rainbow and Pinkie Dash and Lyra and Bon-Bon Heartstrings. They all looked at the girls and smiled.

“There’s our girls,” said Rarity.

“Hey ladies! Look at their tails,” said Rainbow kidding, “they don’t waste any time! Horny little mares, don’t you think?

Pay up Muffins!”

It was hard to tell but Muffins rolled her eyes and put two bits in front of Rainbow.

“I bet Muffins that they couldn’t go one hour without getting frisky,” laughed Rainbow.

All, including Muffins, Diamond and Sweetie, had a good laugh.

“Come in and have a seat,” said Lyra, “we’re about to eat.”

“So what’s…” started, Diamond.

“Sorry Sweetheart,” interrupted Bon-Bon, “eat first, business later.”

Bon-Bon and Lyra motioned to two cushions at the table with the rest of the mares. The girls had a seat and the Heartstrings went to the back of the shop and brought out individual bowls, eating implements, wine glasses, a large bowl of salad, some fruit and several bottles of wine.

They ate, made small talk asking the girls about their first day back to work. There was quite a lot of kidding, with and about, everypony. It was mostly sexual innuendo. And a lot of wine and a lot of laughter.

Finally they finished the salad. The Heartstrings cleared away the bowls and brought out dishes of candy and more wine.

“I guess you want to know what’s going on,” said Bon-Bon, looking at the newcomers as Lyra poured generous portions of wine with her magic for everypony, “our little club started several years ago, right after Twilight, Muffins, Applejack and Rarity got married. At first there were issues with ponies not accepting mares marrying mares, as Lyra and I soon found out after our wedding.

So we created this little group to give moral and other support to married mare couples.

Rainbow and Pinkie joined not long after their marriage and now we’d like to extend the same invitation to our newest married mare couple.”

“Most of the issues with public acceptance have disappeared.” Continued Lyra, “but we still get together because of our common interest.

And it doesn’t matter if you’re a admitted mare-lover, a mare who loves a mare or like Pinkie a mare who loves a mare-lover.”

Pinkie giggled.

“What it comes down to Darlings,” said Rarity, “is there’re just enough differences with our life styles as opposed to the common pony to warrant a group to help each other with the little nuances.”

“You remember the issues you had with Diamond’s dad at first.” Said Twilight, “those attitudes still exist, if mostly underground.”

“And as with Filthy Rich,” said Muffins, “sometimes all it takes to change a pony’s heart and mind is putting what they think in a proper perspective.”

“But most of all,” said Rainbow, “we meet, eat, laugh and just have an excuse to gossip, drink wine and have a good time.”

“The only expectation is to be available to any pony havin’ an issue and needin’ somepony to talk to,” said Applejack, “and host a meetin’ when it’s your turn, and we meet once a month.”

Diamond looked at Sweetie, they both smiled. Diamond nodded to Sweetie.

“Diamond and I would love to join your group.” Said Sweetie, then kidding, “if you think we qualify.”

“I don’t know,” said Lyra, looking at Bon-Bon. “I remember at the bachelorette party, they had trouble with your chocolate marehood eating game. What do you think Baby?”

“I’m not sure,” said Bon-Bon, the other mares trying not to giggle, “I bet they can’t even kiss a mare properly. They probably think it’s some kind of a game. We heard that they started with Spin the Bottle, they probably think they’re still playing at it.”

Diamond just looked at Sweetie Belle. Then they grabbed each other, and started kissing as passionately as they could. They’d back off the kiss enough to show some ‘serious tongue action’. After several minutes, they broke the kiss, breathing heavy and holding each other. Sweetie then looked at Lyra and Bon-Bon.

“Good enough? We may be new to this married stuff but we’ve been perfecting our kissing for years now.”

“Or do we have to show you how sex between two mares is really done?” asked Diamond.

A cheer broke out among the mares they stood up and gathered around their new members.

“We were testing your sense of humor. You passed with flying colors.” Said Bon-Bon laughing. “This is a serious support club, but we also have fun.”

Sweetie and Diamond joined in the laughter. Then Sweetie asked;

“By the way, why ‘Old Mares Club’?”

“You’ve heard the expression something is just an Old Mares Tale?’ said Pinkie with a grin, “well, we all love a good Mare’s Tail”

“Stories?” asked Diamond.

“No,” said Pinkie, “t-a-i-l.”

Then Pinkie, as obvious as possible, put her hoof under Rainbow’s tail and ‘goosed’ her marehood.

“Hey!” said Rainbow, with a smile, “don’t do that unless you’re going to do something about it!”

“I’ve every intention My Love!” said Pinkie and then kissed Rainbow deeply.

All laughed and the evening went on with a lot of wine and laughter.
