The Ballad of Midnight Edge

The bowling alley was the place they had chosen for their date. A place where they easily managed to express their affection without gaining attention. The ponies there minded their own business and generally did not pay attention to most things unless they disturbed their game, not to mention only a few ponies were there, the manager often banned ponies for almost no reason. In fact there were only a small group of ponies, most of them males, who were not banned from that place. Midnight Edge was quite fond of the game, he played a very similar game with one of his friends, the major difference was that the pins were made of stone, Babs Seed on the other hand was rather new to the game.

"I guess I should go first since I am more experienced."Midnight Edge held the ball with his hooves, he preferred to use them instead of magic since that improved his rather poor aim. "This thing is easy as pie." The stallion prepared to launch the ball standing in two hooves, holding the ball with his front hooves and calculating the proper throw, his muscles were relaxed, prepared to let the ball's weight lead the movement. He took two steps backwards and then moved forward swinging his right hoof, throwing the ball and letting his left hoof rest on the floor at the same time.

The ball rolled through the lane slowly deviating to the left. It impacted the pins leaving the seventh, sixth, and tenth pins intact, Midnight Edge began to calculate the best course of action to improve his score. "Second roll, second chance." Midnight Edge aimed for the sixth pin planning to achieve the spare, he threw the ball calmly and it rolled toward the channel, in the end it only reached the tenth pin, pushing the sixth without knocking it. "Again. At least I am consistent. Six-seven..."

"What does that mean?" Babs Seed inquired expecting an interesting story, one of those stories that made her fall in love with him, the answer was barely as impressive.

"I always end up with the same split in the first frame. Some of my friends called me Six-seven because of that. Not a big deal. Your turn."

Babs Seed grabbed a lighter ball, which still looked large compared to her small body. She approached Midnight Edge and smiled at him. Then, holding the ball with only one of her hooves, she approached the lane and released the ball. The throw was worse than expected since she managed to leave the fifth, seventh, and tenth pins intact. "What the...? Stupid pins!" Babs Seed was extremely annoyed. She was not an experienced player, but she played the game a couple of times in Manehattan, and she knew that was a bad split. Midnight Edge was holding back laughter and looked at her with the dumbest expression his often serious face could make. "What's so funny about that?"

The stallion spoke, keeping the same abnormal facial expression as he managed to speak without laughing. "It's a pun... That split... It's called Sour apple in some places... And you are... I can't even... The Roller must be in quite a humorous mood today." Midnight Edge spoke of the deity of probability in a distant land. "She wanted to make sure an Apple would land a Sour apple."

The filly took the ball again, this time determined to get a spare. "I'm not done yet Six-seven." As she released the ball, her hoof slipped and she fell with her rear end upward. Midnight Edge still stupefied by his own laughter and lightened in mood looked at her without moving, his mind enthralled by his own unusual lack of seriousness. His attention quickly shifted from the ball to her rear end, which, due to her short tail, revealed everything there was to see. As he realized it, his laughter ceased, giving in to a choked cough resulting from the surprise. Babs Seed remained on the floor, out of shame rather than injury or anything else, expecting to land a spare before recovering from the fall.

The sound of the pins tumbling and hitting rang in her ears, commanding her to stand proudly with a wide smile. "Look at that! I told you! I knew I could do it, the ball was light enough... What's with the stupid faces now?"

Midnight Edge was blushing, changing his deep purple face to a more reddish color, now looking away as if avoiding her. His shaky voice only made him look worse. "Did you see that? That dude landed a strike. He looks totally like a cool dude, he is even dressed like one." The blushing stallion tried to deviate the attention from his burning red face, he pointed at a rather skilled stallion and his friends. Babs Seed was not amused by his reply.

"Were you watching at all? Did you see my spare?" After Babs Seed's angry reply, Midnight Edge coughed again, this time knowing there was no way out, but also knowing there was no way he could answer without sounding rude.

"I... I saw it... Yes... Saw it all, it was nice, and... A pleasant frame indeed, looked soft... What the heck am I saying... A cool frame... Yes, cool... No time to waste." Babs Seed stared at him confused, his words made little sense, he was sweaty and blushing, and he avoided her eyes when he looked at her.

"First the bad pun and now this... Are you sure you didn't catch something weird in the jungle? You say you saw everything but that doesn't make sense and then you talk about soft... Wait..." Babs Seed let out a gasp and blushed. She finally understood why he was so nervous and why his words made no sense. Then she pushed her face against his chest. "Tell me nopony else saw that."

Midnight Edge looked at her and recovered his senses, trying to cheer her up he cracked a rather poor joke. "Come on Sour apple! You just got a bowling failure nickname! Welcome to the club! Don't let a stupid slip ruin that for you. Let's keep playing." His face was still red, but he tried to regain his usual quirky manner, a mix of serious and informal at the same time.

Their eyes crossed, they thought of the amusing coincidence of both having green eyes. For a moment they wondered what to say next, the date could fall apart with the wrong answer.

Babs Seed broke the silence, still smiling and pretending nothing happened. "You jerk! At least I don't have a bowling curse." Both laughed and pretended nothing happened, then went back to the game.

The group of stallions next to them paid little attention to them for a while, then one of them spoke. "Are they on a date? Isn't that weird man?"

The other stallion looked at the happy couple and spoke. "It's not big deal man. Let them be."

That day nopony was banned from the bowling alley.

...

After leaving the bowling alley, Babs Seed and Midnight Edge went to Sweet Apple Acres, to remember their first meeting. It had been a few months since then. Both went through many things together. At first they felt their relationship was a bit rushed. They just met a week before they started dating, yet both felt things went just fine. Midnight Edge's quirky personality made a good match with Babs Seed's imaginative adventurous style, at first he could not imagine having a hairdresser by his side in unexpected and even dangerous adventures, but now he started to feel he wanted her to see those fantastic places he had been to. They were not all dangerous after all. The memories of that day filled their minds.

"Why did you end up pursued by timber wolves? They rarely leave the forest."

"Let's say the Apples don't get along with timber wolves. Now they must hate you too."

"You could say I am almost part of the family. Rising the barn, fighting timber wolves, and I prefer apples over pears... Pears are a bit messy."

"One of your letters said Time Turner hates pears. Right?"

"Yup. Doc says they are squishy and always make your muzzle wet. He is right."

"Do you like them? I mean, Time Turner, Muffins, and Roseluck."

"They are fine, but they are not you. And I think Roseluck is still scared of me. Not that I am good with first impressions. “Did that unicorn talk?” “Are you still alive?” “Lash that thing. I want it for my collection”. At least in Equestria I am just weird, not a delicacy for some old hag."

As they spoke it began to rain. The pegasi scheduled rain, but both ponies forgot about it. They were enjoying that date too much to care about the weather. They found cover in the barn, which felt inviting and warm, the perfect place to wait for the rain to stop. None of them would admit it, but they wanted to stay away from the rest of the Apples for the moment.

"Alright, the rain will not be a major nuisance here. The barn is almost new, so it is in perfect condition, there will be no leaks. Well, this wet cape will just get in the way." Midnight Edge left his cape on the floor, it was rare to see him without his cape, he looked like a different stallion, bolder, and a bit larger. "I remember when the timber wolves tried to crush me with the old barn. I am glad I had a magic barrier. I wonder what will I learn next. I hope I learn how to pick locks. Treasure chests are not always unlocked."

"What was your first memory of me?" Babs Seed blushed as she asked the question. She wondered what was the first impression he got from her.

"Other than you running away from those things... Well, the first thing I remember of you were those green eyes looking at me with surprise. I wonder what were you thinking in that moment."

"I thought you were cool."

"Well. I am quite awesome. If I am allowed to say so myself."

"But you aren't that good at bowling." Babs Seed teased him bringing back memories of hours earlier at the bowling alley.

"And you are better than I expected Sour apple." Midnight Edge teased her back expecting her to get angry, instead she seemed embarrassed.

"About that. When I fell... What you saw... Did you like it?" She found it hard to speak about it, but both knew what she was talking about.

"Well. I think you are a bit young to talk about that. But I love you, so yes. Well I did not like to see you hurt or anything but, well, your posterior is rather pleasant and your... Why!? Why did I end up talking about that with a filly!? Maybe I should go out there and let the rain cool my brains."

"It's fine. We already saw that at school, and I talked about that with mom even before that... I... Sort of caught mom and dad..." The filly was even more embarrassed, but she tried to push Midnight Edge and make sure there was no way out, for him, or for her.

"Stop. I... I can't get harder... I mean, this can't get harder... I am getting the hell out of here if you say anything else about that. I should not be thinking that way about you."

"Why not? I am your fillyfriend. I know all about that." She looked at him in the eye, he was burning with desire, and so did she, but she was not consumed by fear or guilt, and she was the one to take the lead. "I'm scared you know? But I wanna do it. With you. Unless you don't want to."

"I... I can not lie to you. But you are just a filly. We can't do that. Well, maybe we can, but I don't think..." Midnight edge was interrupted before he could reject her advances, advances he wanted to make but refused to.

"I wanna have sex with you! There! I said it! I know you won't say it because you don't want to hurt me. But it's O.K. You won't hurt me, and nopony will find out."

Midnight Edge sighed, both in relief and acceptance. "Fine. But... You take the lead. I don't want to go too rough on you. To be honest none of us has any idea what we are doing beyond theory, but I am not the one who is getting something inside."

"Stop talking and just lay on the hay. I think I might know a bit better what to do. I saw mom doing just that."

Midnight Edge complied with her request, he held back his desire to just let his passion burn and take her, all for the sake of her safety. The filly just stood there thinking, looking at the shaft, it was pretty much average, but for a filly her size it seemed rather large. She hesitated and then placed her small body on top of her lover. He tried to make her change their mind right before she attempted to ride it. "Look... It is not too late to change your min..." Before he finished she placed her hoof on his mouth and then inserted the member inside her privates.

The feeling was painful at first, she felt something break inside her, but she was not bleeding, she knew what was going on, she remembered her classes quite well, it had not been so long since they had their first class on that topic and ever since then she hoped for that moment. She stopped and saw both connected, she could not take it all inside her, but most of the pulsing phallus was inside. She began to move her hips slowly taking as much of her beloved stallion's penis she could fit inside her intimate parts. None of them spoke, they just looked at each other, still excited.

As Babs Seed continued, Midnight Edge felt the weight of her tiny body and her slit tightening the more she moved, it was just perfect, they felt as one, their heart beats almost in synchrony, following the rhythm of their movement. Midnight Edge just hoped she was a bit larger so they could share a kiss as they went on. Instead they conformed with holding their hooves together. Everything was perfect. Babs Seed leaned against Midnight Edge's body keeping his shaft inside her, moving her hips with little to no conscious action, her panting and sighing had grown into moaning, which Midnight Edge found adorable and arousing. He brushed her mane with his right hoof, which he held more meaningful than the left, she was well aware of that and it elicited a reaction, her insides tightened even more as her brushed her mane, tears of joy ran down her face. Both were enraptured in a moment of perfect ecstasy.

Eventually Midnight edge took the lead, carefully placing her on the hay and pushing against her body, he never attempted to make her take his member all the way to it's base knowing that could be not possible, or at least it could be painful. Instead he moved listening to her breath and moans timing his movement with the involuntary movement of her hips, for that night they were as one, together in body and soul, it all ended with her on top, and both reaching climax at the same time.

"Sweet Celestia!" Two voices screamed in unison, but none of them was that of a stallion. Both were from mares of the Apple bloodline. Applejack entered in the barn as soon as the couple reached their orgasm, screaming in shock as Midnight Edge, lost in pleasure, released his essence inside Babs Seed's barely ripening body.

Babs Seed did not notice her cousin standing there, baffled, torn between horror, anger, disgust, and an abnormal feeling of pride she would rather not even mention. Not that she wouldn't feel the same if she found her brother, or any other older relative with anypony, except for the anger of course. Babs Seed laid on top of Midnight Edge resting, both with their eyes closed, but the perfect moment was already shattered, it all happened so quickly, as soon as they opened their eyes, Babs Seed stared, still confused and lost in ecstasy, at her cousin, and Midnight Edge just released an expletive from far away lands. "Fuck the gods!"
