A Musical Journey Through Equestria

I awake to see the three ponies still cuddling my arms and stomach, I sighed knowing that I wasn’t going to be moving for a while, not that I wanted to, it somehow felt right to me, like I belonged in this small group, I couldn’t help but cuddle them back. I then felt the three of them shuffle.

“Morning.” I say as gently as possible.

“Mornin’ Josh, did ya sleep alright?” Apple Bloom asks smiling.

“The best I’ve slept in years.” I reply smiling back.

“Glad ta hear it!” Apple Bloom exclaims.

“Listen I’m sorry girls, but I’ve got work to do.” I say as stroke Apple Bloom and Scootaloo.

Sweetie Belle looks a bit let down that I left her out.

“Come here Sweetie Belle.” I say as I stop stroking Apple Bloom and Scootaloo.

She smiles happily and wiggles closer to my face, I then start stroking her with both my hands, one hand going through her mane and the other on her back.

“By Celestias tail!” Sweetie Belle moans.

“I guess you like being stroked then?” I ask smirking.

She’s too busy relaxing to answer me.

“I wanna try!” Scootaloo and Apple Bloom exclaim.

“I would but I’ve got to get ready to work or well should I say perform.” I say as I try to get up.

“Can we watch?” The three ask.

“Sure, you can help with some bits of the song if you want.” I say happily.

“Here’s our chance to get our Cutie Marks!” Apple Bloom cheered.

“Alright!” Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle cheer.

I then make sure the towel is wrapped around me tightly and stand up and stretch.

“Apple Bloom, do you happen to know where Applejack would have left my clothes?” I ask happily.

“Oh! Ah know let me go get ‘em!” She chirps.

“Actually I need to check something involving my clothes let me come with you.” I reply.

“Okay then! Let’s go!” Apple Bloom cheers as she runs out of the door.

“Oh god.” I mumble as I run out of the door.

I leave the room spotting Apple Bloom as she starts heading down the stairs, I decide to follow her to the stairs and head down them as well, hoping to eventually catch up to her. She heads down another staircase with me following closely behind.

“Here we are!” She says happily.

“T-Thanks!” I say out of breath.

“Tired all ready?” She giggles.

“Hey! Leave me alone I’m fat okay.” I chuckle back.

I then turn towards a wire that runs across the roof of the room and decide to follow it, I then spy my clothes across the room and head towards them, I then grab them from the wire.

“Can you turn around for a moment Apple Bloom?” I ask nervously.

“Ok.” She says sounding a little disappointed.

I then start getting dressed and then realise something very important.

“Wait a minute, Apple Bloom have you seen my guitar? I haven’t seen it anywhere in the house.” I ask.

“Yeah Ah’ve seen it over in Applejack’s room.” She replies resisiting the urge to turn round and eventually failing seeing me with my trousers, socks and shoes on.

I then notice her fur around her cheek area darkening, causing me to smile as I put my shirt on.

“Is she already working?” I ask.

“Yep.” She replies cheerily.

“Damn! I need that guitar!” I sigh.

“Ah’ll get ya it Josh!” She says jumping up and down happily.

“Thanks! Hey you never know you might get your Cutie Mark for guitar fetching.” I chuckle.

She now looks even more excited as she sprints up the stairs.

“I shouldn’t have said that.” I think to myself.

I then grab my jacket and fumble around in my pockets for a bit finding what I wanted.

“MY PHONE! YES!” I think to myself as I check everything is still there.

I smile finding everything to be in working order and how I left it, except my clash of clans which had been raided 3 times since I arrived, I sigh and put the phone back in my jacket pocket and decide to follow her up the steps, I arrive at a corridor which leads to the Living Room, I head towards the living room, the corridor was incredibly short to the point where the fact that a corridor was here made no sense to me. Entering the Living Room I see Apple Bloom step into the room with my guitar on her back.

“Thanks, Apple Bloom!” I say happily as I take the guitar off her back.

“What does mah Cutie Mark look like? Is it cool?” Apple Bloom asks spinning around to see her flank.

“I’m sorry to tell you this Apple Bloom but there isn’t a Cutie Mark there.” I say sympathetically.

“Ah shucks! Ah was hoping Ah’d get it!” She groans.

“I know what will make you better! How about a reward for fetching my guitar?” I ask smiling.

“Sure!” She says as she seems to immediately cheer up.

“Put the guitar over against that wall over there and come over here and sit between my legs facing away from me.” I say as I sit on the floor with my back resting against the wall with my legs spread for her to sit between.

She walks over to me and does as I asked, I then use both of my hands on her chest and start stroking her.

“Oh mah stars!” She says as she leans back onto me.

“I’m guessing you like it?” I chuckle.

She doesn’t answer me she just let’s her head fall back resting it on my shoulder, I can hear her breathing very close to my ear making me tense a little. I then start to use my nails to gently scratch her like how a person would scratch an itch.

“It feels amazing!” She mumbles.

I smirk as I continue to sit there stroking and scratching Apple Blooms chest for what felt like 5 minutes but it turned out to be half an hour.

“Apple Bloom we’ve got to go, you ready?” I ask as I stop scratching her chest.

“Sure!” She replies cheerfully.

“Are you two finally ready?” We hear a familiar voice call.

“We completely forget about Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle didn’t we?” I ask.

“Ah think we did.” Apple Bloom replies embarrassed.

“Well let’s going then, I have a lot of work to do.” I say as I help Apple Bloom back onto her hooves.

I then stand up and dust myself off, Apple Bloom looks at me and smiles, I smile back then head towards the door Apple Bloom following close behind.

“Finally! Jeez you 2 took forever in there getting all lovey dovey!” Sweetie Belle teases.

“Sorry what?” I ask confused.

“We weren’t getting lovey dovey in there, he was saying thank you to me fer getting his guitar for him!” Apple Bloom says replies blushing heavily.

I then spy Scootaloo out of the corner of my eye pretending to throw up.

“I think we should get going....” I say trying to sort out the situation.

“Ah agree, you’ve got ta make some bits for us!” Apple Bloom says pretending to crack a whip.

“How do you even know about that?” I ask worriedly.

“We learnt about it in school.” She replies as she takes the lead ahead of me.

“Okay then....” I reply as I pick my guitar up from against the wall and put the strap over my shoulder. “Everyone ready?” I ask.

“Yep!/Yeah!/Yes!” The 3 girls reply.

I then head towards the front door of the house with the girls following me having a ‘Girly Conversation’ something I ignored due to the fact I want no part in it. We finally reach the place where I’ll be performing, a space next to a bakery. I walk into the bakery and ask for permission to use some of the space outside to perform which to my surprise they replied.

“Sure! Just be careful of Pinkie Pie, she can be extremely hyper.”

“Urm.... Okay then.” I reply as I head back out of the store.

I see the 3 girls moving a box to where I was supposed to be performing.

“Girls you do realise I’m meant to be performing there right?” I ask.

“Of course we do, we just thought it would be better for you to stand on the box while you perform so that more ponies can see you.” Scootaloo replies.

“Not a bad idea actually.” I reply as I take the guitar off my back and rest it against the waist high box.

“What can we help you with then Josh?” The 3 girls ask.

“I need some help singing some parts of the songs.” I say as I bring my phone out of my pocket.

“I-I don’t want to perform Josh, I’m n-not very good at singing.” Sweetie Belle murmurs.

“Don’t worry about it Sweetie Belle I’ll find something for you to help with.” I reply scratching my beard. “Want to collect the bits for me then? I don’t know if you’d enjoy that really, there isn’t much I need help with.” I reply shrugging my shoulders.

“Sure I can collect the bits! I might even get a bit collecting Cutie Mark!” Sweetie Belle says excitedly.

“Okay then, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, I’m gonna teach the lyrics to some songs ok?” I ask.

“Sure!” The 2 girls reply excited and hyped up.
