The New Weather Pony

Stratosphere stumbled into the town hall, still tired from the night before. He staggered over to the front desk, dragging his white hooves along the soft, red carpet that covered the wooden floor. He collapsed onto the reception desk, letting out a loud sigh as he did so. Silk looked up from her sheets of paper to give the stallion a glare for interrupting her work. He grinned at the mare who scowled at him, letting out a small chuckle as he stood back on his hooves. Silk looked back down at her work, avoiding eye contact with the stallion. He stood up straight and arched his back, stretching out his body to remove any stiffness that may have accumulated during his slumber from the previous night. He went back to resting his front hooves on the desk, smiling at the mare working her way through a mountain of paper.

“So did you enjoy lunch yesterday?” Stratosphere asked the mare, trying to make casual small talk. She glanced up at him, arching an eyebrow. She placed her quill down and looked up to face the stallion, putting on a big smile.“I had a lovely time indeed.” she responded, returning to her paperwork, hoping that the stallion might move along. He remained where he was, still smiling at her with his bright smile.“So.” Stratosphere said awkwardly, not sure what to say in a situation like this. Silk looked up at him again, dropping her quill once more.“Is there something you need?” she asked him bluntly, catching him a bit off guard. He removed his hooves from the desk and stood up straight, raising a hoof to his muzzle and cleared his throat.“Well I was kind of wondering, since we had such a nice time yesterday that maybe you would like to go out with me for dinner some time?” he squeaked. The mare's eyes widened as he asked the question, leaving her at a loss for words.“I..uhh..umm.” she said looking around nervously.”I..um..don’t really swing that way.” Silk replied, glancing away from the stallion. Now it was his turn for his eyes to widen, leaving him at a loss for words. Stratosphere began to stammer and stutter, trying to formulate a proper sentence to say to Silk.“You mean..you don’t..you know..you like mares?!” the sky blue stallion exclaimed, causing the caramel mare to blush profusely. She raised a hoof to his muzzle and closed it shut, holding her hooves there to make sure he didn’t start again.“I would prefer it you didn’t go shouting it around like that.” she said, a slight hint of anger in her voice. The stallion let out a soft whine as the mare glared at him. She released his muzzle from her grasp. Stratosphere raised a hoof up to rub where her hooves had clamped his muzzle shut. He brushed his hoof against his muzzle softly.”Next time think before you go shouting things around.”He looked back at the mare, her sentence catching his attention and reminding him of what she had just said.”So you like-” Silk’s hooves clamped his muzzle shut once more. This time he pulled back from her grasp, freeing his poor muzzle.”Sorry.” he whispered.”So you like mares?” he asked quietly, as so no nearby ponies could overhear them. The caramel mare nodded at him, the redness still visible in her cheeks.”That’s cool, I’m actually bisexual myself.” the stallion said proudly. The mare looked him up and down and snorted softly. Stratosphere frowned at her.”What’s so funny?” he demanded.Silk raised a hoof to her muzzle to hide her grin.”Sorry, it’s just that you seem a bit too butch to be bisexual.” she said through her hoof. The stallion looked surprised at her.”I just can’t imagine you taking it up the tailhole.” she giggled through her hoof. The stallion frowned, while his cheeks became a bright red colour.“And just what makes you think I would. I’m quite the dominant stallion you know!” he lashed back. The mare could only stifle a laugh, her breathing betraying her.”I’m serious!” Stratosphere said. “Okay, okay I believe you. There’s no need to get your panties in a twist.” she said bursting into a fit of laughter, leaving the stallion to blush profusely.“I gotta get to my meeting.” Stratosphere said, attempting to storm off only to be grabbed back by the mare. She pulled his face close into hers, kissing him softly on the lips. The stallion’s eyes widened in surprise from the mare’s action. A few seconds later she released him, a thin strand of saliva still connecting their mouths. Stratosphere stared blankly at the mare, unable to respond with words.She blushed heavily at him, smiling slightly.”Sorry.” she said.”I realise that you really like me and I’m sorry that I’m not interested. If I did go that way you would definitely be my first choice. I just thought I’d give you something since you had the courage to ask.” The stallion just nodded slowly at her in a trance like state. He shook his head from side to side, snapping him out of his daze.”Umm..thanks..I guess.” he said hesitantly.”I guess I’ll be going, I’ll see you around Silk.” he said trotting off in the direction of the meeting room. Silk smiled and waved as he went on his way.

Stratosphere entered the meeting room, still a bit shook after his encounter with Silk. He trotted over to the table and flopped down beside Thunderlane. The dark grey stallion smiled at him apologetically, after he noticed him sitting down. Thunderlane rubbed the back of his neck with his hoof.”Sorry about yesterday.” he said.”I didn’t mean to embarrass you or anything. It was just a bit of friendly banter.”Stratosphere turned to look at the stallion. He studied his physique until he came to the stallion’s eyes. He stared into them, getting lost in their golden colour. He didn’t really pay attention to what the stallion was saying and cut him off.“If it makes you feel any better I-” Thunderlane said before being interrupted.“Will you go out with me!” Stratosphere exploded. The dark grey stallion froze up, his feathers rustling. Thunderlane stared at the stallion in front of him, his cheeks turning a bright shade of red. The stallion rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly, unsure of what to say to him. Stratosphere raised his hooves to his muzzle, clamping it shut as Silk had done earlier. He sat in silence eyeing the stallion, wondering what could possibly be going through his head right now.“Yes.” Thunderlane said. Stratosphere nearly fell out of his chair after hearing the stallion’s response. He fixed himself up and face the stallion, who was giggling heavily at the stallion’s reaction.”Yes I will go out with you.” he said once more to remove any doubts the stallion might have had about what he said. Stratosphere’s face was now as red as Thunderlane’s. Thunderlane leaned forward and gave him a small peck on the lips. Stratosphere’s wings shot up immediately, forcing him to try and desperately lower them. Once he managed to nestle his wings back in place he turned back to the stallion. They gazed longing into one another’s eyes. They were snapped out of their daze by somepony coughing. They turned to see everypony in the room looking at them. They both blushed profusely. Rainbow Dash was grinning at the top of the table.“Well if you two are quite ready, I was thinking we could begin this morning’s meeting.” she said with a chuckle, earning a laugh from the other pegasi present. She cleared her throat once more to bring silence to the room.”Okay, so we got the new cloud sample back from the weather factory with the correct calibrations this time I’m told. We will be taking it out for testing tomorrow. Same rules as before apply. The schedule for today is basic cirrus cloud pattern. Cloudchaser and Flitter I want you to handle it. The rest of you have the day off.” she bellowed. The two mares assigned a job let out a large groan while everypony else shouted in joy.”I suggest you make the most of it.” she said eyeing the two stallions and grinning as she left the meeting room. Thunderlane and Stratosphere both blushed.“So what did you have in mind for our date?” Thunderlane asked with a sly grin, catching the sky blue pegasus off guard. He thought furiously for a moment.“Umm..well I don’t really have anything planned. It was kind of a spur of the moment thing.” Stratosphere said meekly. Thunderlane chuckled at him.“I think I have an idea of what we can do. I have a few errands that i need to run today. How about you call over to mine at seven and we’ll work our way from there?” he asked the stallion. Stratosphere nodded politely.“That sounds like a plan.” he said.Thunderlane beamed.”Good, just make sure you’re not late.” he said. He gave the stallion another quick peck before getting up and leaving. Stratosphere watched him as he left, before getting up and following in the direction the dark grey stallion went.

Stratosphere fumbled about in his bedroom, trying to get himself to look at least half presentable for his date with Thunderlane. The stallion’s calmness towards the question had slightly put the stallion on nerve as he was afraid that he would mess the evening up. He had three of his shirts laying on his bed, unable to decide which one to wear. The choice was between the grey one he had worn to the welcome party, a blue one that matched the darker shade of his mane or a bright red shirt. After staring at each of them for what felt like hours, he decided to wear the blue one, putting it on and going over to his mirror to examine himself. He stared at the reflection that greeted him, a white stallion with a two toned blue mane and a blue shirt. He felt pleased with his choice and trotted back over to his dresser and pulled out a small bottle of cologne. He splashed some of the strong smelling liquid onto the collar of his shirt, and then onto his hooves. He placed the bottle securely back in the draw, closing it slowly as not to disturb the contents. He walked over to his mirror one last time, making sure he was ready to leave.“Okay, let’s do this.” he said to himself, exiting the bedroom and heading next door to his date’s house.

Stratosphere trotted up to the front door of the house beside his. He knocked his hoof against it three times, each bang making the stallion flinch, giving him to urge to run back to his house. He paused for a moment, guessing if the door would open or not. A few seconds later the door opened to reveal the face of a familiar stallion. Thunderlane beamed at the stallion standing outside his front door, gesturing for him to come inside.“Come on in.” he said, his hoof directing the blue pegasus into the house. Stratosphere stepped into the house while Thunderlane closed the door behind him. The grey stallion eyed the stallion’s rear as he entered further into the house. He gave his lips a quick lick. Stratosphere turned around to face the dark grey stallion. Thunderlane quickly moved his gaze up to meet the stallion’s eyes. They sparkled slight, causing Thunderlane to chuckle. Stratosphere stared at him, raising an eyebrow at the grinning stallion.“What’s so funny?” he asked, eying the stallion up and down, waiting for a response.“Nothing, you just look really cute. I especially like the shirt.” he said, glancing at the stallion’s choice of clothing. Stratosphere smiled and looked down at his shirt, modelling it off for the stallion to view.“I’m glad you like it, I wasn’t sure if I picked the right shirt or not.” he said with a small giggle. Thunderlane pushed forward and kissed Stratosphere on the lips, the blue pegasus pushing back into the stallion, returning the kiss. The two held the kiss before Thunderlane broke it to get some air. A small strand of saliva connected the two stallions mouths. “So, what have you got planned for this evening?” Stratosphere asked the stallion, who was still taking in a breath or two.“Why don’t I just show you.” he said with a knowing smirk. He turned and trotted in the direction of the kitchen, the blue pegasus following closely behind catching a glimpse of the stallion’s plump rear, causing him to blush slightly. The two ponies entered into the kitchen, which had been decorated for the occasion. The table a had red velvet table cloth covering it, with a lit candle at the centre. On either end of the table was a plate of food and two mugs of what looked like cider. Thunderlane grinned at the stallion and gestured for him to take a seat. The two ponies both sat down at the table facing opposite one another.“You definitely know how to treat a stallion.” Stratosphere said looking into the stallion’s eyes lovingly. “For somepony like you, it’s worth it!” he said with a small chuckle. The blue pegasus grinned at the stallion’s comment, swishing his tail back and forth while sitting in the chair. The two began to eat their meals, each taking their first bite at the same time. Stratosphere closed his mouth around the food, letting it melt on his tongue. He let out a pleasurable groan to show his satisfaction with the meal. Thunderlane grinned at the pegasus, continuing to eat his own meal groan free.“Sweet Celestia, this is really good!” Stratosphere moaned, taking another bite of the meal Thunderlane had prepared.“Well I’m glad you liked it.” Thunderlane said, his face beaming at the stallion. Stratosphere gobbled down the food on his plate, never pausing to take in air. He looked up at the stallion sitting across from him.“You have got to teach me the recipe for this meal.” he said, continuing to swallow down the delicious food before him.“It’s got a very special sauce in it.” Thunderlane said with a smirk. Stratosphere stopped eating and glanced the stallion, who had a devilish grin plastered on his muzzle. He looked down at the food once again.“By special sauce, you mean?”“A good chef never reveals his recipe.” the dark grey stallion said, leaving Stratosphere to ponder what he had meant. The stallion shrugged slightly and went back to eating the meal. Eventually both of the stallions plates had been wiped clean. Stratosphere sat back in his chair, giving his belly a small pat.“Well that was absolutely delicious.” Stratosphere said, letting out a small belch afterwards, grinning at his reaction. Thunderlane smiled at him and brought the two plates over to the sink, leaving them there to wash in the morning. He returned over to the table and gave the stallion a quick peck on the lips. Stratosphere’s wings rustled at the sudden contact of their lips. Thunderlane then turned and headed in the direction of the living room, motioning for the stallion to follow. Stratosphere did so obediently. The two stallions went into the living room and sat down on the couch. “So are we gonna play some videogames?” Stratosphere asked curiously eying the stallion. Thunderlane grinned and shook his head, telling the stallion he had other plans.“I was thinking we could get to know one another better.” he said slyly, moving closer towards the stallion and wrapping a wing around him, pulling him in closer. Stratosphere giggled as the dark grey stallion pulled him closer towards him. “I think I like that idea very much.” he said leaning into the stallion. Their lips met one another forcefully yet playfully. The two stallions roamed around the insides of one another's mouths. Stratosphere moaned into Thunderlane’s mouth as he kissed the stallion passionately. While the two stallions were kissing, Rumble entered the room. He stopped and stared at the two stallions. Stratosphere noticed the smaller stallion out of the corner of his eye and immediately broke from the kiss. Thunderlane looked at him in confusion, wondering why he had stopped until he noticed his brother standing there, staring at the two of them. They both blushed profusely at the sight of the younger colt. He shook his head and let out a sigh.“You two are so gay.” he said, leaving the room, allowing the stallions to return to their interrupted action.
