"So, is everythin' ready?" Apple Bloom asked, looking to her friend as they stood outside their clubhouse, awaiting their guests.

"Yep!" Sweetie replied enthusiastically, going over the check-list she had levitated in her minty-green magic.

"Ya made sure yer Moon Tea's gonna wear off at th' right time? Wouldn't wanna mess that timin' up. Wouldn't wanna be feelin’ like ya don't want it after all this plannin’."

"Yes."

"Ya had a good meal? We ain't leavin' here 'til tomorrow mornin' iffin all goes well.”

"Yes, Apple Bloom..."

"Ya told yer beau Button Mash ta meet ya here?"

"Yes, Apple Bloom, yes, I did everything we planned. Especially inviting my coltfriend Button."

"Great!" Apple Bloom said, noting Sweetie's slightly annoyed expression and tone, then dismissing it as just part of their shared 'condition'; "Sorry, Ah jus' want this ta go as smoothly as possible. It's just a right stroke'a luck that Scootaloo's away with Rainbow Dash visitin' th' Wonderbolts HQ up in Cloudsdale. We may not get th' Clubhouse all to our lonesome like this again for a right long time. Especially not with th'...circumstances...just right like they are right now..."

"Yes Apple Bloom, you said this like ten times already! Everything will go fine if you just stop worrying about it!" Sweetie said, placing a white-coated foreleg around her lemon-yellow-coated friend's withers, earning a gentle shudder from her and seeing her cherry-red mane gently sway with that motion. "You know they'll agree to it."

"Ah know, Ah know they will Sweetie Belle, we're four of a kind af'er all. It's jus'...Ahm nervous, 'at's all. It's mah first time doin' anythin'...like this...an' Ah want everythin' goin' perfect."

"Yeah, it's...my first time too."

"Ah hope th' boys don't get too rough. Ah want it so bad, but..."

Sweetie kept a comforting hoof on Apple Bloom, giving her a smile. "I'm sure it'll be fine. We just need to set out the rules before we start. So you did invite your coltfriend Tender Taps? If so, I hope he lives up to his name today."

"Yeah, Ah invited him, didn't tell him what for though, as planned. What, ya thought Button Mash would be playin' all th' 'games' with both'a us all on his lonesome? Ah know he's a strong Earth Pony, but Ah donno if he has that kinda endurance!"

Sweetie laughed a short, high-pitched laugh, before nodding. "I think you're right. Especially with what we have planned."

Their conversation was interrupted by the distant clop of hooves on dirt, their ears perking up upon seeing a pony approaching from the dirt path leading to their clubhouse. His coat was a dark amber, his mane a tangelo-orange with a streak of lighter orange. As they saw him get closer, they saw he wore the red and yellow hat with the green propeller that always seemed to be moving slightly. Eventually he reached the two young mares, giving a wave of his hoof.

"Hi you two!" the colt said in his usual, excited tone, waving at the two fillies equally as excitedly as his voice was, "You wanted me to come here? Sweetie said we were going to be playing a game?! What is it!? Maretroid? Castleva-neigh-a?"

"Hi Button Mash!" Sweetie said, going up and giving her coltfriend a hug, pushing into it a little more than usual as well as grinding her chest against his briefly. In his excitement, he didn't really notice.

"So, so, what're we playing?!" Button asked persistently in his scratchy, prepubescent voice that had yet to deepen despite him starting puberty already, his tail swishing excitedly. He loved video games, and the prospect of getting to play them with his fillyfriend was something he looked very much forward to every time it was offered.

"Well, it's gonna be a game you've never played before I'm sure..." Sweetie purred, looking deeply into his amaranth-and-amber-orange eyes, "...matter of fact, it's called—"

Just as Sweetie was about to reveal just what the game was going to be and ruin the surprise, their ears perked up to the padding of hooves in a trotting gait they all three heard approaching.

"S-sorry I'm late! I had to stay over for dance practice, and..." stammered out the voice of another young stallion, his voice heard before he was seen clearly. As he came into focus, the trio saw he had a coat of brilliant orange, his mane a mulberry-purple of two tones.

"Howdy Tender Taps! Glad y'all could make it!" Apple Bloom called out, though she did little to hide the longing in her voice.

"Hey love," Tender replied as he closed in on his mare-friend, giving her a deep kiss on the lips in greeting, "so what's this about? You said you wanted to show me something? Oh, hi Button Mash!"

Button Mash returned the wave and a hoof-bump to his long-time friend, them knowing each other since they were year-old foals, and being friends for nearly as long. "Hey, any idea why we're here? I thought we were going to play some video games!" Button asked him, bouncing impatiently.

Apple Bloom glanced over to Sweetie Belle, getting a subtle nod, the signal that it was time to put their long-planned event into action. "Well, yeah, we both wanted to show and share something very important to us to you two: The Cutie Mark Crusader Clubhouse!" Sweetie announced, flamboyantly displaying with her hooves the simple wooden shack that the Cutie Mark Crusaders were only too happy to call their own.

Both colts were a bit confused, but waited to see what else was in store. "Wow, it's...nice." Tender said, rubbing the back of his head.

"Yeah, great." Button offered with the same lack of enthusiasm Tender displayed, though both at least tried to fake interest. After all, what could be so exciting about an old wooden shack deep in an apple orchard, they wondered.

"Well, this here's where Sweetie, Scootaloo an' Ah planned out how we were gonna get our Cutie Marks, an' where we still consider our headquarters," Apple Bloom announced, stepping forward towards the door and nodding for the others to come forth, "and it's with great pleasure that Sweetie an' Ah give you a grand tour!"

Again, the colts' 'enthusiasm' was displayed with confused looks. "So...uh...you invited us out here to show us your clubhouse?"

"...and not to play video games?" Button followed up.

"Well don't you worry dear Sir Gribblith of Candoria, there are plenty of games and adventures to be had within my walls!" Sweetie exclaimed excitedly, almost too excitedly, as to give away the tease. Her tail flagged over her back suddenly as she thought of what was likely to come, before quickly rectifying it by forcing her uncooperative appendage between her legs, blushing heavily, "I-I mean, these four walls! Yeah..."

The colts, clueless as ever, simply stared...though with more interest at Sweetie, with flagging her tail being an instinctive invitation to...

Something. Something was tugging at the back of their minds. A mare doing that with her tail meant something, and something seemingly very important, but neither colt had a clue what it meant. Their body, on the other hoof, and something deep in their psyche knew exactly what its meaning was.

"U-uh, anyhoo, les go!" Apple Bloom said, knocking any semblance of thought on the matter from the young colts' minds, before inviting the boys into the clubhouse.

"So this is where we used to think up great ideas for getting our Cutie Marks..." Sweetie said in a tone like a tour guide moments after entering, indicating a bulls-eye rug on the floor with a light-bulb above it.

"...an' this here's where we eat..." Apple Bloom said, adapting Sweetie's tone as she indicated a small, currently empty dinette table.

"...and here's our map wall..." Sweetie said excitedly, indicating the wall with their hoof-drawn map of Ponyville.

"...and this here is our bed, where we took a nap af'r a long day of crusadin', an' we even still use it sometimes!" Apple Bloom finished, indicating a large, standard-sized bed tucked in a corner that even still could likely comfortably hold four foals at once.

Needless to say, the colts were confused still, but simply hid it behind neutral smiles.

"So, what do y'all think?" Apple Bloom asked, shaking the colts from their individual reverie, looking expectantly at them.

"It's um..." Button said, looking to Tender for help.

"Yeah, it's uh...it's nice." Tender said, helping bridge Button's speech.

"...and now, for the moment you've all been waiting for..." Sweetie said, pointing to the corner which had a small TV and a couple of video game systems, "...the entertainment corner!"

Button's eyes brightened like it was Hearth's Warming, the sight of that setup telling him Sweetie's promise was true. Not that he'd had any doubt, of course. "Can we play?!" he asked, eagerness oozing from his voice, his tail swishing happily. Video games were his passion, what he lived for. Well, that and the new addition of his filly-friend Sweetie of course.

Sweetie rolled her eyes and chuckled, mussing his mane a bit. She knew how much her coltfriend liked playing video games, and she was only too happy in indulging him by buying the game system and TV mostly for him when she thought of this idea. It'd be perfect to pass time, after all. "Yes, we can play. I even got 'Pony Fighter 3! You and I can fight first, then AB and Tender can."

Button was virtually glowing at this moment. As he settled down in front of the TV and picked up the controller, he was pleasantly surprised as Sweetie sat down next to him, pressing her side to his as she picked up the other controller in her light-green magical grasp.

As the menu theme played out and the character selection screen popped up, Sweetie again nuzzled against Button's shoulder as he chose Neighyu, and the less-experienced Sweetie chose the far slower, but stronger, Zangrief.

What followed was a first round with Button defeating Sweetie horribly, his experience evident as he performed a perfect K-O on her, Sweetie simply mashing the buttons and hoping to get a hit off while Button expertly chained his combos and special moves. As the second round started, Sweetie grinned evilly. She trailed her curly tail up Button's side, making him flinch as she did. "Sweetie, stop!" Button exclaimed as he felt her tail trail over his sensitive and quite ticklish flank, then along his croup, thinking she was simply trying to distract him...before she met it with his own tail.

Button zoned out in the game as he felt Sweetie's tail intertwining with his own while she kept nuzzling into his neck, wrapping her tail around his in an ultimate sign of closeness, one of the most intimate things a pony could do with another short of kissing...or sex. Button felt his heart pounding, this only being the second time Sweetie had ever done something like this. The other time was after their first kiss, when she first told him she loved him in the playground after school when everypony had gone home already, and he'd said he loved her too and asked her right then to be his fillyfriend.

Quickly, Sweetie took up the advantage provided by her actions, scoring a 10-hit combo on Button as she finally got a feel for the controls. "Hey! No fair!" Button exclaimed, zooming back in on the game when he heard the pained grunts of his character as half of his health bar was being drained. Sweetie simply stuck out her tongue at him and grinned victoriously, though she indeed kept her tail wrapped tightly around his.

As she watched Sweetie teasing Button, Apple Bloom was doing some teasing of her own, though not so subtly. She wasn't known for her subterfuge after all, indeed very direct in her desires and needs like her sister Applejack. As such she quickly trailed a series of soft kisses up Tender's neck, with Tender shuddering under her advances. Quickly, she reached his muzzle, lifting a hoof to softly direct his gaze to hers. Without a word, Apple Bloom met her lips with those of her coltfriend, giving a soft, pleased moan. He realized her moan sounded a little too pleased for such a simple action, though he too was enjoying the gentle sensation of her soft, warm, if lightly-chapped, lips on his own, giving a soft 'mmm' of his own in return.

Trying to ignore the make-out session going on beside them, Sweetie struggled to focus on the game, having beat Button in the second round and leaving this the final battle for victory: round three. "I'm gonna get you Button!" Sweetie teased, though her tone was anything but competitive. Matter of fact, if Button wasn't mistaken, it sounded downright seductive.

"W-what?" he asked, sure he'd misheard her.

"I said, I'm gonna get you!" Sweetie repeated, in a lightly-competitive tone this time, throwing Button off his game. Trying to focus on the screen as Sweetie and him traded blow for blow now, Button couldn't help but wonder if he'd imagined Sweetie's seductive tone the first time, before hearing the pained grunts of his character taking another half-dozen blows from a well-placed combo.

Meanwhile, Apple Bloom had pressed her tongue into Tender's mouth, meeting no resistance and getting a small moan from him as the two were now laying on the seating cushions on the floor, Apple Bloom's hooves behind Tender's back, and Tender's in kind behind hers, holding each other close in an embrace. The wet smacks of their lips were quite audible in the small building, even over the game's volume. The two lovers, however, weren't too focused on how loud they were being, instead focused on the warmth of the other's muzzle on their own, the slippery sliding of their tongues within their love's mouths, the warmth and softness of their partner's fur against them in the cooling air of evening; the pleasant tingles caused by the other rolling through them.

Sweetie meanwhile had gotten even closer to Button, laying her head on his shoulder as her magic controlled her avatar, sighing contentedly as she rubbed her cheek against him. Button was trying so hard to win, his competitive side trying to achieve a victory, but it was not meant to be. Sweetie landed the final blow, to the booming announcer's call of 'K-O!', and Button watched his character fall to the ground flat on its back. Somehow, he simply didn't care. For the first time ever, he wasn't the least bit upset over losing. Well, maybe a little upset.

"You cheated..." Button said in a soft, half-hearted tone, but Sweetie simply smiled in return.

"How is showing my young stallion a little attention cheating?" Sweetie asked innocently, and Button could virtually see the halo hanging above her head.

Button simply rolled his eyes, before setting down his controller, Sweetie following suit, as they looked over to Apple Bloom and Tender. "Wow, looks like they're having fun."

The other couple was quite occupied with their partner, the wet smacks of lips meeting now joined by the pleased moans both masculine and feminine, hooves wondering lower to the other's flanks and softly rubbing over their Cutie Marks, their moans and kisses only deepening at that.

"Yeah," Sweetie started, before turning to face Button, a sultry smile on her face, "care to 'have some fun' with me too?"

Button looked like a rabbit caught in a carriage’s path. The furthest he and Sweetie had ever gone was an occasional kiss on the lips and some cuddling. Button had never wanted to impose, so they'd never gone past that. Now, however, was different.

Sweetie was suggesting it.

"So...?" Sweetie asked, giving a glance over to the other ponies, hearing them giving unrestrained 'mmm's of pleasure, with that in turn raising her own desires. She gave Button a gentle, loving nuzzle into his neck, before facing him muzzle to muzzle, her light-green eyes meeting his of amber.

Button, before Sweetie could really react, had met her lips in a deep kiss, showing his once-restrained desires to Sweetie. Sweetie was caught off guard, still for a moment. Button started to panic, his thoughts wild;

Sweetie pushed back into the kiss, giving quite a pleased little moan in response, pushing back a little more roughly than Button had anticipated. He realized that she wanted this as much as he did.

Button pressed back a little harder into the kiss, bringing himself around to face his filly and her doing the same. Their tails never separated during the positional transition, not for a moment. He then placed a hoof around her withers, pressing his chest to hers as they kissed even still, giving a quiet moan as he did. Button knew that his chest felt really good when he rubbed or otherwise stimulated it, sometimes leading to...certain uncontrollable biological reactions. The scent of male and female musk grew stronger in the air, only adding to the reactions growing in Button.

A reaction Button was fighting to restrain. It wouldn't do much good his colthood getting all stiff now, now would it. <Sweetie would probably blush and look away, or...something else bad...> Button thought, but that line of thinking was all but abolished as he felt Sweetie's hoof land on his chest. It wasn't to push him away however.

She started to rub his chest.

The earlier feeling of tension in his sheath was only exacerbated by that erotic gesture. Surely Sweetie didn't know what she was doing! "Uhm...Sweetie? That's really...sensitive." Button said, and Sweetie could see the struggled restraint in his eyes. Sweetie didn't respond, only keeping up her gentle rubbing on his chest.

Meanwhile, Apple Bloom was actively rubbing her chest against Tender's and, given how Tender's crotch was pressed against her, Apple Bloom could very clearly feel the reaction in his sheath. She felt it bulging, before feeling something warm and semi-firm pressing into her belly. Tender didn't seem to notice, too busy trying to pin her tongue with his own. Button's words, however, seemed to strike a chord with him as he'd spoken them.

As Tender noticed his peeking 'condition' pressing into his filly-friend's belly, he quickly broke the kiss, looking away with a heavy blush of both pleasure and embarrassment now on his face. He could only hope she hadn't noticed.

"Right, it's startin' t' get dark now." Apple Bloom said, getting a nod from her trio of companions. As they looked out the window, they saw the sun was setting, a vista of pinks and oranges decorating the horizon over the pink-blooming apple trees, and Button then realized something.

"So, uh, if we're having a sleepover, where are we sleeping? Do you have any sleeping bags we could use?" he asked Apple Bloom, knowing there was only one bed in the room and was more than willing to just let the fillies have it like a gentlecolt should.

"Yeah, where are we sleeping?" Tender added, looking to the room's only bed before then looking to Apple Bloom as well.

"Well, I was thinkin' we could jus' share the bed. T'gether." Apple Bloom responded, looking over to Sweetie, who shrugged.

Both colts visibly squirmed.

"Well, uh, It's just that...we're colts and you're fillies. We're not supposed to share beds." Button said, blushing a bit at the implications. After all, the only time stallions and mares shared beds were when they were married, or were going to be...

"Oh come on. We're all gettin' tired an' Ah can't jus' have mah guest an' coltfriend sleepin' on th' floor now can Ah?" Apple Bloom asked, before suddenly her expression changed drastically. Her eyes lidded, her steps became more pronounced as her flanks swayed more as she walked to Tender. "C'mon Tender, wanna come lay on the bed with me?" Apple Bloom asked Tender in a sultry voice, before tapping her front hoof three times rapidly on the floor. That was the signal.

"Yeah Button, wanna try it out? It's super comfy..." Sweetie asked Button in kind, walking by him and brushing her side to his, her tail trailing along his side and making him gently shudder in response.

"Uh..." Button said, before feeling a pleasant tingle go through him as he felt her tail travel over his stifle, tracing his blank flank.

"C'mon..." Apple Bloom cooed, nudging Sweetie Belle who then adapted the same inviting expression, "...come lay with us."

As the two mares then went and laid on the bed together, the two colts were awestruck, not sure how to react to the tones the fillies were using, nor the implications of them. As the pieces fell into place as they both realized how often Apple Bloom and Sweetie had to excuse themselves to the outhouse during their time together, how close and physical they'd been with them all day – almost never out of physical contact with their lover, and certainly not out of the room – and with how much their tails were swishing, the two colts felt their bodies stiffen.

"Are you...um..." Button stammered out, not sure how to say it without being awkward.

Fortunately for him, Tender was more direct. "Are you two experiencing your...heat?" he asked, using a tone that suggested he didn't really know what he was asking.

Sweetie once more looked to Apple Bloom, with her looking back, then nodded. "Well, yes." Apple Bloom said frankly, "Sweetie an' Ah are both 'in heat'."

"...and we need your help getting rid of it." Sweetie finished.

Both colts looked like they'd seen a ghost.

Author's Note

Oh boy! Two fillies in heat getting sensual with their coltfrinds? Whatever will happen next? Exactly what you think.
