The Mare Who Knew Too Much - Part 2

Thunder, Plumsweet, Candy, and Winter arrive at Winter's house. The mare unlocks and opens the door.

"Make yourselves at home." she said, entering.

It was a good-sized, two-floor house. The group stood in the main area. Winter headed upstairs.

"Well, I'm going to bed." said Winter, heading upstairs. "The guest room's up here, too."

"Room?" asked Thunder. "How many beds?"

Winter stopped at the top of the stairs and turned around. "Uh... You see... The thing is..."

"Winter?" asked Plumsweet. "How many beds?"

"Um... One-- But... it's not a small bed."

"How not small is it?" asked Thunder.

Winter chuckled. "Well..."

Thunder, Plumsweet, and Candy stood at the edge of the guest bed.

"So..." said Candy. "It's, uh..."

"It's not small." said Thunder.

"Nope." Plumsweet agreed. "It's not big, either."

Thunder cleared his throat. "We're gonna have to, uh..." He cleared his throat again. "You know..."

"Get... close?" asked Plumsweet.

"We gonna have to cuddle?" asked Candy.

Thunder eyed her and then looked back at Plumsweet. "How you wanna do this?"

"What do you mean?"

"Who lays where?"

Plumsweet thought about it.

Thunder and Plumsweet lay on the ends of the bed, Candy was asleep on the floor, squirming due to being uncomfortable.

"Plumsweet, no." said Thunder. "That's just mean."

"I know, I know." said Plumsweet. "I was just kidding." She let out a sigh. "I can be in the middle."

"Is that so?" asked Candy, eying her sensually.

Plumsweet stared at her wide-eyed for a second before looking at Thunder. "You're in the middle."

The armored bus pulled up to an abandoned warehouse and Mist stepped out. She inhaled deeply.

"Ah, it's good to be home."

She walked up to the front door and opened it. All the colts stopped moving around and stared at her. She grinned and entered.

"How is every pony?" she asked aloud.

"Boss." said one of the colts. "We thought you were gone."

Mist stopped and stared at him. "What do you mean?"

"Well... ever since word of your arrest... well... Thorne took over."

Mist narrowed her eyes. "WHAT?!!" The colt took a step back. "WHERE IS HE?!!"

The colt pointed to a side room. "Your room."

"The fucker," muttered Mist, storming to the door. She burst into the room, startling the colt at the desk.

"What the f... uck? Mist?"

"What the hell do you think you're doing?"

"Ever since we heard you were--"

"A FEW HOURS!!!"

"Sorry, uh... boss."

Mist's eyes narrowed. "Get the fuck out of my room."

Thorne slowly got up and headed towards the door. Mist stepped to the side to allow the colt to pass. He joined the other colts.

"Was she pissed?" asked a colt.

"Yeah. But I think she's--"

Thorne was suddenly shot in the head, his blood spraying a couple colts. Mist left her room and lowered her smoking gun.

"LET THIS BE A LESSON TO YOU ALL!!! NO PONY IS IN CHARGE BUT ME!!! EVER!!!!"

The group of colts stayed silent. Mist eyed them all and then returned to her room, slamming the door shut.

Thunder stared up at the ceiling. Candy was on his left. She had a foreleg around him and was nuzzling his neck. Plumsweet was on his right. She also had a hoof around him.

"Plumsweet?" whispered Thunder, looking over at her. "Plumsweet?" He poked her.

She let out a groan. "What?"

"I need to ask you something."

"What?"

"Well, I was thinking... um... the life expectancy in this town is... very low, and... well... I was just wondering--"

"If you want to get married?" asked Plumsweet.

Thunder hesitated. "H-How'd you know?"

"I was thinking the same thing."

"You were?"

"I like you a lot, Thunder. Well... a-actually, I... I love you."

Thunder smiled. "I love you, too. And I couldn't imagine marrying any pony else."

"So... is it official?" asked Plumsweet.

Thunder hesitated before speaking. He stared into the mare's eyes.

"Plumsweet..." he began. "Will you marry me?"

Plumsweet smiled. "Yes."

Candy slid on top of Thunder, smiling. "You two finally did it?"

"Uh..." said Thunder. "Yes." he said hesitantly.

"Oh, happy day!" said Candy cheerfully.

Plumsweet smiled. "Thanks for the support, Candy."

"Oh, you've got more than my support." she said. "I want to help... in any way I can."

"Thanks, Candy," said Plumsweet. "but I think we're--"

"Any... way."

Thunder and Plumsweet eyed each other.

The colt cleared his throat. "Right. Well... Um... Thank you, Candy... I guess."

"You're welcome."

"So... when do you wanna do it?" asked Thunder, eying Plumsweet.

"Any time you want, baby." said Candy.

Thunder looked at her. "I meant my fiancé."

"We can do it tomorrow, right?" she asked. "I mean... we don't need a big wedding."

"And I've got no pony to invite." said Thunder.

"...That's kinda sad." said Candy.

"Yes, Candy." said the colt. "Yes, it is."

"So, it's settled then?" asked Plumsweet. "We're getting married tomorrow?"

Thunder nodded. "We sure are."

"This is so sweet." said Candy. "It makes me just wanna..."

She leaned forward and began kissing Thunder's neck.

"Hey." said Plumsweet, tapping Candy on the head. "He's no longer available."

"What's wrong?" asked Candy. "You jealous? We can have a threesome. I go both ways."

"Candy!" said Plumsweet. "Wh..."

"What? I ain't afraid to admit it."

Thunder shook his head. "Oh, dear. What a life I'm leading now."

"I was thinking the same thing when I was Mist's hostage in the back of her van."

Thunder and Plumsweet thought about previous events while Candy looked back and forth between them.

"Hey." she said. "Don't think about things. I can't hear thoughts."

Thunder playfully rubbed Candy's head. "Let's get to bed."

"Good idea." said Plumsweet, closing her eyes. "Night."

"Good night." said Candy, collapsing on Thunder.

"Um... Candy?" asked the colt.

"Mmm... Yeah?"

Thunder hesitated. "Nothing." He closed his eyes. "Night, you two."

The three then fell asleep, Thunder and Plumsweet thinking about the wedding. Candy thought about how wild and crazy she was gonna make the bachelor party.
