Just Winging It

An untold amount of time passed between the two ‘friends’ in her room, on her bed, with the covers thrown to the floor.

Twilight sighed heatedly as she sat astride the bat’s lap. Her eyes glazed over in the aftermath of her first true experience with another.

His eyes and his tattoo glowed as his shard absorbed her energy following this heated interlude.

Well, I’ve made it with a magical pony princess, he thought to himself while she panted on top of him.

Her thoughts were a more chaotic jumble; she’d just given her virginity to a male she just met today. Part of her felt immense shame that she gave in so quickly to lust, another part just felt so good. This was what it was like to feel someone’s warmth. She felt plenty of it... Inside. Her front hooves gave out and she laid out across his sweaty naked body.

Jimmy put his wings around her as soon as she’d done so to hold her and try to comfort her as he could clearly see she was going through some serious inner struggle right now.

“Jimmy...” she whispered at least.

He rubbed her soft rump, now that he’d become quite acquainted with it, “Yeah?”

She almost purred from his touch; could an equine even purr? She whispered, “Whatever happens... I don’t regret this. This... I needed this.” She kissed his cheek before looking into those bright red eyes of his, “I’m always so worried how other ponies will think of me, I’m always fretting every single detail and all of this new princess business really leaves no room for me to have a coltfriend. Right now, it feels good, letting go and just living the moment. I feel great... If a little sticky and sweaty.” she finally quipped, “Thank you.”

Jimmy was happy she felt this way, but something in him still felt guilty. Not even that he’d been unfaithful to Marina, they had an open relationship. She would understand him laying with someone else, as long as she was there to join in.

In the back of his mind, Crazy Jimmy snickered, “One down... How many more?”

He felt lips pecking against his neckline, accompanied by the tickle of her tongue against his throat.

“Do you think you could go again?” She kissed him directly on the lips when she asked.

He looked up into those hopeful eyes. There was no way he could disappoint a pretty face like hers, though he knew he would probably hate himself more later. He faked a smile, “Yeah... I can go all day.”

She cheered inward then pushed her muzzle into his.

...

It was awhile later, as the pair were finishing a third session together that someone knocked on Twilight’s bedroom door.

“Twilight! All our friends have dropped in to meet our new guest!”

A now blushing Twi fought back a moan as she felt herself filled up yet again. She called out, “I’ll be right out, Spike!”

Jimmy backed off of her, “Timing, huh?”

Twi gave a disappointed moan when she felt him slip out of her, “Yeah, perfect timing.” She stretched her back muscles before rolling out of bed, “Well, we’d better freshen up quick, and Jimmy...”

He looked when as he pulled himself out of bed, “Yes, Twi?”

She fluttered her eyes at him and she smiled, “Thank you.”

...

Twilight wisely decided she should come out and greet her friends first, then Jimmy could come in for a proper introduction.

The alicorn had used her magic to deal with whatever latent smells that bat may have left on her.

Twilight hugged each of her friends when she saw them, “It is so nice of you all to drop in, Jimmy will be out in a moment, he uh...” she thought up an excuse, “He wanted me to prepare you all due to the fact that he’s... not from our world.” Good enough, she thought.

Applejack smiled, “Well, when ah heard from Rarity about this here dashin’ new gent, ah just had ta come an’ see fer myself!”

Twilight smiled while she thought, wow they do sound alike.

Fluttershy was her usual self, “Um, Twilight, this new friend isn’t something big is he?”

Twi shook her head at her friend’s question but kept her smile, “Well, he walks on two legs, so he’s naturally taller than most of us in here.”

Pinkie Pie just seemed excited at the prospect of meeting someone new, “Ooh, I hope I can make a big enough party for our new guest!”

Twi already knew of his distaste for sweets, but she decided that was best for Pinkie to find out on her own. She giggled, “Pinkie, you could make a party for ants if you wanted to.”

Pinkie giggled, “I could and I have!”

They were all in the map room right now. Each of the Mane Six plus Spike and Starlight took their seats around the Cutie Map.

Twilight cleared her throat, “Very well, since everypony is here, Jimmy!”

The bat heard his name and so stepped out to meet the rest of Twilight’s friends. He was dressed again in his new country outfit that Rarity had made for him. The little bloodstains had been cleaned out with Twilight’s magic. He had his hair tied up in a ponytail with that red ribbon.

Rarity cooed, “Ooh, the country look does fit you well, Mr. Darrell.”

The bat smiled, “Why thank you!” He took a winged bow to the lovely ladies of the room and Spike, “Good evenin’, I’m Jimmy, Jimmy Lee Darrell, nice to meet ya!”

The three ponies in this room who hadn’t met him before all had varying reactions to the tall, lanky bat who had just introduced himself.

Pinkie was all teeth, “WOW! He’s a bat! You’re a bat! Oh, I just had the best idea for a welcoming party!” She was certainly excited to meet him.

Fluttershy blushed; he was certainly not what she expected, but he certainly reminded her of her little furry friends. She wanted to touch those pointy ears on his head.

Applejack was not so excited. He was a bat alright, and she remembered too well that terrible time when a whole swarm nearly put her out of business. She pulled down her hat so nopony else could see her expression.

Jimmy was still smiling despite the lukewarm response. He chuckled, “That was more or less what I expected from this.”

Pinkie suddenly popped up from behind him, “Your fur is so soft!” She rubbed him with her hooves, then she opened his mouth, “Ooh! And you’ve got sharp teeth!” She closed his mouth then looked right in his eyes, “You’re a carnivore aren’t you?”

The bat was pretty nonplussed from being manhandled-- hoof-handled?-- by the hyper pink pony, “That I am and I could sure use a snack right now!” He joked while giving her one of his grins.

Pinkie snorted, “You can’t eat me silly!” She stuffed a cupcake in his mouth.

He would’ve asked where she even pulled that from but he had a cupcake currently in his mouth being broken down by saliva. He didn’t care for sweets, but he was nice enough to swallow it before responding, “Thanks, normally I have to be tied down before people start shovin’ things in my mouth!” He snickered.

She laughed at his little dirty joke, “Oh so you’re one of those guys!” She tapped his snout with her hoof before inconspicuously stuffing a card in one of his shirt pockets, then whispering, “Come by the bakery sometime, after closing hours.” She winked before hopping off his shoulder.

Fluttershy came up to Jimmy next. She was certainly intimidated by his size, “My... You’re so big... But um, I guess Harry the Bear is slightly bigger. Um, my name is Fluttershy.” She hovered near him.

He shook her right hoof, “And it is very nice meeting you, Fluttershy.”

She blushed more when he’d held her hoof. She was about to fly back to her seat when she suddenly hugged him. She sighed happily,
“Pinkie’s right, your fur is soft.” She flew back over to her spot.

Applejack was the last to approach. She tipped her stetson back to make eye contact with the tall mammal. She said the first thing that came to her mind, “Jus’ what kinda bat are you anyway?”

Jimmy smiled, “Vampire.” He showed his fangs in that not-so-innocent grin of his.

She walked around him, checking him out, “Ah see... Not a vampire fruit bat?”

Jimmy snickered, “Nah, ain’t an ounce of fruit bat in my heritage, though I do act a little fruity sometimes.” He posed for the orange pony earning much eyerolls from her.

She stood right in front of him now, “What do ya mean by fruity?”

His red eyes glinted, “I mean Ah’ve been known to guzzle a banana or two in mah time, if ya catch my drift.” He winked, putting himself down on one knee so he’d be at eye level with the farm pony. “I’m guessin’ you must be Applejack.” He pinched her nose.

AJ wasn’t bought over by his charm as quickly as the rest. She rebuffed his advances, “Yeah, that’s me! Applejack! Most dependable, most honest an’ hard-workin’ pony you’ll ever see! An’ honestly, there’s somethin’ strange about you!”

Jimmy leaned in so his snout bumped hers, “You don’t say?” The sarcasm was strong in that line, but the smiles were still genuine.

Twilight could already see the tension between them and so intervened, “And it is a great coincidence that you all decided to drop in now, Applejack.”

She pulled AJ’s tail with her magic, making the farm pony snuffle in indignation.

Applejack sighed then looked at Twilight, “Yeah? An’ why would that be?” As if she hadn’t already guessed.

Twilight smiled cheerfully as she continued speaking, “Well, as Jimmy may be living here among us for who knows how long, he’s decided he should get a job and make himself useful. And coincidentally, one of the first things he seemed most interested in was...” she nearly wilted under AJ’s unblinking gaze, those normally friendly green eyes now looking at Twi with a hint of impatience, “farm work.”

Applejack nodded, “Ah see...” She looked back at the bat, “So ya wanna work on mah farm?”

The bat smiled, “That I do. I’m from Texas, ma’am, and in Texas, we value hard work! As a representative of my state, I must represent!”

AJ smirked a little, “Well, I don’t know what Texas is, but if you’re so gung-ho for manual labor, sure... I’ll give ya a shot.” That smirk disappeared then she shoved a hoof in his chest, “But, give me one reason, jus’ one reason, an’ I won’t care how close ya are with Rainbow,
Twilight, Rarity or any of my other friends! Ah’ll boot yer flank clear outta Sweet Apple Acres!”

The bat’s eyes glowed and he tickled Applejack’s chin, “Sure... I understand completely.”

She brushed his hand away, “And that’s another thing! If you’re comin’ to work for me, ya had better show me the utmost respect! No touchin’, no whatever this is! Keep your claws to yourself! Got it?!”

Crazy Jimmy was intrigued. This one was utterly unaffected by the shard.

Good Jimmy took back control, “Yeah, I’ve got that. Thanks for th’ opportunity!”

AJ nodded before walking away, “Be at Sweet Apple Acres at 6 by tomorrow mornin’, Jimmy.” She said his name like it was a bad word.

Most everyone else shuffled nervously following the exchange between Jimmy and AJ.

Starlight broke the awkward silence, “Woo! Now that was a fun development.” She trotted around the table to Jimmy, “We’ve already met, but I feel we weren’t properly introduced.” She offered a friendly hoof to the bat, “My name is Starlight Glimmer.”

The bat smiled, “Nice to meet you, Starlight.” He kissed her hoof to show what a gentleman he was.

This made her blush, “My... If half the colts in Ponyville were this smooth.” She giggled before making herself scarce, “But it’s already getting late so I should turn in.” She trotted away, her tail noticeably held low to hide a reaction she’d had from even that brief physical contact with the bat.

Rainbow zipped over by her friend as she laughed, “Wow... Are there any mares you haven’t gotten to yet, Jimmy? Aside from Applejack.”

The bat shrugged, “Eh, it’s a gift.”

In the back of his mind, Crazy Jimmy contemplated what had just happened, “Unicorns are definitely susceptible to our power, possibly pegasi. But that Applejack, she has neither horn or wings, does this somehow make her immune? We must test this theory.”

...

Jimmy and Twilight sat together in her library after her friends had almost all gone. Rainbow stayed behind while Rarity promised to be back in the morning with Jimmy's requested accessories.

Rainbow snickered as she joined the pair, "So... ya bucked?"

Twilight blushed, "I-I thought we had cleaned up well before coming out to meet you guys."

RD put a sympathetic hoof on her friend's shoulder, "Twi, sometimes you're too adorable. Maybe the other girls couldn't tell right away, but pegasi, we've got a stronger sense of smell than the other ponies. Whatever you did to cover up, you were obviously trying too hard."

Jimmy snickered, "That's strangely convenient logic, Rainy."

Rainy rolled her pretty magenta eyes, "Yeah, it really helps if you don't think too hard about it."

Jimmy blew a raspberry, "No problem for me there."

Rainbow laughed, "Yeah, I could see that." Her smile faltered a bit, "So I guess that means you'll be staying here as Twi's 'guest'."

The bat traded glances with the alicorn. She swiftly shook her head. She definitely needed time to really think about what had happened between. Jimmy shook his head, "Nah, it's probably best that we give each other space. Not that I'm having regrets or anythin'..." He sighed, "Well, maybe a little."

The two ponies sitting with Jimmy seemed surprised to hear that from him.

Rainbow blinked twice before she spoke, "Wow, I'd almost expect Twilight to say something like that."

Twi seemed offended, "Me?"

RD scoffed, "Well, Twi, no offense, but you did used to seem kinda prudish about this stuff."

Twi's wings flared up, "I am not a prude. I've just always been so focused on my friendship studies I’ve never really made time for... The other stuff.”

RD snickered, “Whoa! Sounds like I struck a nerve, Egghead.”

Jimmy wrapped his wings around both of his friends, “Now, Jimmy is sensing a real disturbance here, and I think we could all do better if we take things down a notch.”

The two friends looked at each other before both leaned into the bat’s warm leathery wings.

Twilight smiled, “You’re right. Though, I would say I am surprised that you have regrets. You definitely don’t seem shy about this stuff.”

Jimmy snickered, “Nah, not shy in the least! Ah lost mah virginity at 14! Ah ain’t looked back since!”

Rainy snickered, “14? That’s practically like a foal!”

Jimmy shrugged, “I guess...”

Twi brushed his side with one of her wings, “Is there something wrong, Jimmy?”

The bat scoffed, “Is there anythin’ right?” He took a breath, “Twi, Rainy, y’all two are gettin’ to be good friends... Hell both of you have bedded me already.”

Twi blinked, “You too, Dash?”

The cyan pegasus blushed, “Well... We didn’t go quite as far as you Twi, but I did sorta suck his dick.” Her muzzle turned a dark purple with how bashful she became.

Twi saw her friend was embarrassed, shooting a glare at Jimmy for being so insensitive. She nuzzled Rainbow, “Hey, it’s nothing to be ashamed of, Rainbow. I’m clearly not, and I always thought you’d be...”

RD sighed, “It’s okay. I know I can come off as wild, but the truth is I’m probably more nervous than you about this stuff, Twily.”

Jimmy even felt bad that he’d made the pegasus feel bad. He petted her, “Guess I shoulda showed more tact, huh?”

She punched him in the ribs, “Yeah!” Then she snickered, “But I’m not mad.” Then she leaned in closer to Twilight, “I would like to say this, though. Seeing as now, apparently both me and Twi have had you, Jimmy...”

The lavender alicorn seemed to understand where her friend was going with this, “It sounds like we have ourselves the beginnings of a... of a herd.”

Jimmy’s ears twitched, “A herd?”

Twi nodded, “Yes, Jimmy. A relationship involving a single stallion and multiple mares, a herd, do they not have something like this in your Texas?”

The bat thought, “Well, it’s generally looked down upon if a guy like me is seeing two different people. But... I’ve done the polygamy thing with a couple past girlfriends, so it’s nothing new for me.” He snickered.

A big smile brightened Twilight’s face, “So... If Rainbow and I ever decided we’d want you... Would you?”

Then the bat gave a sadder smile, “As enticing as that sounds... I’ve already been feelin’ guilty about all o’ this.” He cursed, “Fuck...”

Twi showed concern while RD blushed after hearing the bat swear, “What’s wrong, Jimmy?”

The bat sighed, “What’s wrong is I haven’t been entirely upfront about this thing.” He pointed to his clothed chest, in reference to his mark.

Twi tilted her head, “Oh?”

Jimmy cringed as he kept going, “My power is not infinite... At times,” he opened up his shirt to show the mark more clearly, “This thing needs to be fed... If I don’t feed it, it grows out of control then tries to feed itself. When that happens, I become someone else...” He sighed, “Old Jimmy... Or Crazy Jimmy, the Jimmy I left behind comes out and he preys on any submissive male or female he can find. He feeds his hunger through sex. And I have noticed the effect I’ve already had around certain ponies around here...”

Then Twi understood, “So you’re afraid that what happened between us was... This other you?”

Rainbow shook her head, “That’s crazy! I know there was nothing controlling me last night, Jimmy... When I-I did what I did, I just did it because I was curious... It wasn’t some power.”

Twi interjected, “And I would know if a magic was controlling me, I’ve spent my entire foalhood studying magic!”

The bat still held doubt, “Then what do you call this?” He stuck out a claw on each hand then scratched both Twilight and Rainbow on their chins.

The reaction was instantaneous, both mares shivered from that teasing tickle of the bat’s claws.

The bat seethed while his red eyes glowed bright, “Yeah...”
