“That’s terrible.” Star Burst leaned back onto her hands. The two mares were now on the beach, away from the tide and under the moon, which had shown half of its face overhead. The sun had gone down and the stars were out in all of their majestic glory. The two of them sat in the sand, Pop Candy sat on her knees, her hooves supporting her rump, which was clad in a very small bikini bottom, while her ample breasts were barely hidden behind two slings, one pink, and one bright blue. To Star’s delight, her nipples were poking through them. Her own were covered by two triangular cups in an orange bikini top, while her nether region was hidden behind a very provocative bright orange thong. Her hands were in her lap, fingers intertwined with her thumbs fiddling at the top of them. “That candy shop was everything you ever wanted, I mean, it’s all you talked about all through high school.”

“Yes, but I was ever so lucky that I found the twins when I did. They let me stay with them, and all I need to do is clean up around their shop, and see to their whims.” Her cheeks were beginning to blush as she thought about their exploits. She glanced over toward Star Burst, who was still reeling from how she found them, naked and in the throes of carnal pleasures behind a beach umbrella. “After Obscenely Rich took back my store, they swore that they would never sell out to him, nor would they allow him to get his hands on anymore of Ranchtown, if they could help it. They’ve even gone so far as to discount their prices on repairs to shops that are independent of him.”

“Wow, they sound wonderful.” The sudden image of Electric Spark’s gigantic cock came to her thoughts and she found herself freshly aroused.

“So ummm… who’s that guy you’re with now?” Pop asked, her face going a little grim at the thought of Presto Changeo.

“Oh, it’s not like that! I only assist him in his magic shows. We’re not an item.” She rolled her eyes, still thinking of the ridiculous hours she has to work under that tyrant. “He’s pretty much the only work I’ve had for the past couple of months. There’s not much work in the fireworks industry. I’ve tried to work weddings and celebrations, but there are so many companies that cover fireworks and other aspects of it. Instead of just fireworks, they want package deals. I guess you could call me kind of a one-trick pony.” She frowned a little and looked off to the side.

“Hey, don’t be like that, Star.” Pop said as she put her hand on her cheek and turned her to face her once again. “You’re so good with your fireworks, there’s no way you’ll be stuck with that asshole for long. You’ll find a better job, I promise!” Seeing Pop smile became a little infectious, and Star smiled back at her. Once again the two of them leaned into one another for a kiss. Only this time, Pop leaned into the kiss and put her hand on Star’s side, gripping it.

The two of them hummed as their kiss deepened and Star ran her hand from Pop’s wrist, all the way up to her shoulder and then her cheek.

“So, Pop, I need to ask you. If you don’t want to answer, I’ll understand. I mean, it’s private, and I know you don’t kiss and tell, but I can’t help but be curious.”

“Have I had Spark’s cock?” Pop whispered when she got a good pause in Star’s rambling. She seemed startled by Pop’s forwardness, and her mind went a little crazy with embarrassment, but behind a blushing face, she nodded. “Oh, yes, I have, and it’s just as marvelous as it looks.”

That was when both of Star’s hands went up to her mouth to stifle a very large giggle. Her body trembled, and Pop could have sworn she heard Star’s privates get squishy.

“Dear Celestia, Star, when is the last time you’ve been with a stallion?” The cream colored unicorn suddenly looked rather concerned for the young mare. Just by her reaction to the question, Pop could already guess.

“Ummm… it’s been a trying year. Not to mention I’ve been working for-- oh shit.” Star rolled her eyes and frowned as she looked behind Pop.

“Star Burst! Where in the hell do you think you’re going?!” Presto Changeo trudged out onto the beach. “Did I tell you that you could clock out? We still have a whole nother session of practice tonight and you haven’t learned any of your closing lines!”

“I told you, I was just going out for an hour! I haven’t seen my friend in years!” Star said as she stood up. There was an anxiety behind her voice that told Pop she’d been saying this sort of thing for a while now.

“I missed the part where I cared! She’s not going to get you any better at lighting fireworks and I’m not paying you to reunite with high school giggle-bits!”

“Excuse me?!” Pop Candy stood, drawing his attention. “Where the hell do you get off talking to her like that? And calling me a--- whatever the hell you said! I don’t even know who you are and I can already tell you’re a piece of shit that doesn’t deserve the time of day!”

Star Burst almost went flatline when she said that, knowing what Presto could do. The white furred unicorn with the stereotypical magician’s tuxedo and top hat sneered at Pop, arrogance and self righteousness apparent.

“How dare you speak to me like that!”

“Oh, it was simple, I’ve got more where that came from, too!” Pop extended her middle finger to the white unicorn, causing him to snort steam.

“Wait, Pop! He knows magic--”

“I’ll show you how to respect your superiors! Right now!” His horn began to glow a sinister red color and his eyes began to glow. “I’ve learned from the greatest combat magicians in the land and you’ve chosen the wrong day to bring about my wrath!” He even brought out his cheap, plastic wand to heighten the “theatrical effect” of his magic.

“Now feel the sting of my power strike!” He shouted, causing both the twins to stand up and view from the side, a little ways down the other side of the beach. Voltage almost lunged out to help Pop, but that was when their candy-loving maid raised up her hand and stopped the spell with one palm.

She touched the spell once and it stopped right in midair. Pop paused for a moment and observed the frozen attack in front of her. Star looked on with absolute awe as she witnessed her friend out magic a magician.

“Your form is sloppy.” Pop Candy said, and then touched the side of the frozen magic with two fingers, dispersing it into vapor. “And that’s being generous.”

Presto stood there, unable to comprehend what had just happened. His mouth hung open, wand slid out of his hand onto the sand below. He took a step back as Pop Candy’s horn glowed with a pink illumination.

“Try something simpler.” Pop said as she grabbed her horn, pulling a magical rope from it, which instantly lassoed around Presto’s right ankle. “And learn how to swim.” She said as she pulled around, over her shoulder and launched the so-called “magician” into the air, up and over the shore and away out into the ocean.

Star Burst watched as Presto cried out in terror as he was sent flying through the air, until his image shrank in the distance. She turned to Pop in awe. Then there was clapping down near the rock formation. Both Voltage and Spark were cheering for their dearest maid. She blushed waving at them.

“Pop! How in Equestria did you do that?!” Star asked, trying to see if she could spot where Presto landed, but it was pretty damn far out to sea. “Did you purposely kill him?”

The way she asked that surprised Pop a little bit, it was like she was more curious than honestly worried about the guy. This made her laugh a little bit and shook her head.

“No, there’s a boat out there that he can climb aboard, but it’ll only give him more than he deserves. At least, as far as I’m concerned. You don’t sound all that broken up about him.” Pop slid her arm around Star’s waist and she put her hand on Pop’s smiling at her.

“No, I’m really not. I was planning on quitting anyway. That guy seriously timed my sleeping hours. If he didn’t pay so well, I’d have quit a long time ago. Jobs are hard to come by, but I’d have been willing to risk it if it meant getting away from that asshole. Looks like I’m gonna see what Trample Bay has in the ways of unemployment offices.”

“Nah, nah. To hell with that, come on.” Pop Candy pulled Star with her as she led her back over to the twins. “You’re coming back to Ranchtown with us. It’s a college town, I’m sure they will want some firework shows somewhere.”

“Ranchtown? I guess I’ve never heard of it, or at least, I’ve never listened all that hard.” Star said as they neared the others.

“Pop! That was amazing!” Voltage shouted as the twins approached the two mares. “How did you do that?! That was just so… smooth! You never told me you knew magic like that.” She looked like she was about to become star struck by such an amazing show of talent and was about to geek out on Pop, before Spark interrupted her.

“Now, are you finally going to introduce us to your friend?” He said and smiled at Star. She blushed, and put on a very meek smile.

“Oh! Yes, this is Star Burst, she and I went to highschool a few years back. She’s… well she was going to do a show with him before I hurdled him out to sea.”

“Uh, yeah, actually, that was another question… did you kill him, by chance?” Voltage asked, and Spark looked at her with wide eyes. “I guess if you’re gonna kill someone, that was the way to not leave evidence. Though we may want to leave Equestria for a few---”

“No, no, no, I didn’t kill him. I just happen to know that there’s a certain boat out that way.” Pop said, and grinned as she looked out toward the ocean.


Cold and having swallowed a generous amount of sea water, Presto was hoisted up onto a boat. He was exhausted, barely able to breathe as two large, strong stallions helped him up with their shoulders.

“Oh, thank Celestia, I thought I was done for.” Presto said as they sat him down on a bench on deck of their ship. He opened his eyes finally, and looked around him as the five or six muscled down stallions all gathered around him. Some of them murmured, hoping he was okay, and the ones who were examining him were checking his eyes to make sure he didn’t hit his head too hard.

“Are you alright? Do you know what your name is?” The brown furred, black haired pony man asked him. “Do you know what day of the week it is?”

That was when he noticed that the pony examining him had only a man thong on, and he was… impressively endowed.

“Ummm… I’m… Presto Changeo… a magician.” He said, and the white furred stallion looked around him and saw that they were all scantily clad, some of them didn’t even have their cocks covered up. “What’s… all this?”

“Oh, one of our friends graduated college and he wanted a… private party.” He smiled at Presto, whose eyes widened as it occurred to him that there were only male ponies on this boat. “Did you want to join us?”

Presto’s eye twitched.


Below the rock formations, the seas were calm, and they found a nice shallow spot to sit in a little pow wow. They passed around the very expensive and large bottle of champagne, taking generous drinks of it as it came to them.

“So, by the time Spark got home, I think I sent him about 78 pictures with Pop Candy.” Voltage said as she began to laugh, as did the flushed Star Burst, who couldn’t help but find humor at Spark’s expense.

“Uh huh, but I got my payback very shortly after.” Spark said, taking two more gulps of the very sweet bubbly drink. “I’m so glad we got here when we did. This was the perfect night to come to the beach, and then we have a whole nother day to just do whatever the hell we want.” Spark passed the bottle to Voltage, who took a good swig herself.

“Yeah, I really want to check out some of the new phones, mine is on its last limb. I don’t even know if I’ll be able to get our vacation pictures off of it so far.” Voltage gave both Pop and Spark a knowing grin.

“Can I… ummm.” Star Burst began, then she looked off to the side.

“What is it?” Pop looked at Star, who tried to hide her extremely flushed face. She wasn’t much of a drinker and even the light alcohol of the bubbly was starting to get to her.

“Can I… see some of the vacation photos?” Star asked, but in the tiniest voice you could ever imagine.

“Hehe, well, you kind of got a nice little glimpse of some of the live action, but if you’re really wanting to see some more.” Voltage said, her head feeling the weight of the very rare alcohol she ever consumed. She reached over and pulled open her brother’s trunks, allowing her brother’s cock to float to the surface of the water, not that it took much, they were in very shallow waters on the shore.

Star Burst’s eyes widened to their fullest extent. Before she knew it, Pop’s muzzle was very close to her ear.

“Go ahead and touch it.” Pop said, knowing that Star’s loins were absolutely in agony from such strong sexual tension. The poor dear mirrored Pop Candy before she met Spark and Voltage a while back. She was sex starved, over worked and living in absolute poverty for far too long. Pop wanted nothing more but to help her poor friend.

With a little hesitation, Star slid her hand up Spark’s leg and grabbed a handful of his penis’ shaft in her hand. She immediately felt it harden to her touch. It was amazing, the girth was barely fitting in her palm, it was so massive, granted she had some small hands to begin with.

That was when she felt Pop’s hand dig up inside her bikini top, grabbing her tit and massaging the nipple. “When was the last time you had a nice big dick?” She whispered in Star’s ear, rubbing her teeth against it and licking it a little as well.

Star’s pussy began to ache with yearning as she whimpered at Pop’s touch. “Over a year.” She whispered, remembering her ex-boyfriend and how much fun she had with him, but in the end she couldn’t stay with him for several reasons. Still, that feeling of getting man-handled and bent over the bed spread never left her senses. How she longed for such a feeling again. Her hand began to jerk Spark’s massive prick, and Pop still tormented her by pulling her bikini top up, and allowing her breasts to bounce free. Candy took them both in hand and caressed them with great care.

“Maybe we should take this back to the room.” Voltage said, wisdom coming into play over the alcohol they had consumed, knowing that they could get very loud if they weren’t careful and they were still on the beach. No matter how well hidden they were, a sex starved mare could easily give away their position.

Star didn’t seem to share the concern, though, she was already working Spark’s large manhood. Her hand milked it as hard as she could, while her other hand reached over behind Pop’s head, and held her close. Pop nibbled at Star’s neck, forcing her eyes shut as she mewled with such a pathetic, needful voice.

“Alright, alright, come on.” Voltage said as she stood up from the water, covering herself back up with what little swimsuit there was. “Come on, back to the room.” She pulled on Spark’s arm, tugging him to the side.

He didn’t seem to notice, though. Even when Star slowed down and started sliding her hand off of his dick, he still sat there with that dumb, dreamy smile on his face. Finally, Voltage pinched his ear.

“Ow ow ow!” He flailed a little bit and gave Voltage a dirty look.

“Come on, dumb dumb, cover yourself up and let’s get going.” He was a little mad at her, but he got over it instantly as she handed him the bottle and told him to finish it so they could throw it away on their way back.

They were all half drunk,enjoying themselves entirely too much, even as they left the beach. It wasn’t a long walk from the beach to the hotel, laughing along the way. The night was so beautiful, even slightly chilly, so they draped their towels over themselves as they walked. The only downer was Star, when she said she needed to call it a night.

“Come on, Star, we have more than enough room in our suite.” Pop said as they went through the main doors of the hotel, greeted by the after hour clerk. “We have an entire day planned tomorrow too.”

“Oh, I don’t think so, I’m fairly certain that I’m not keeping this job after tonight and I’m going to need to do some serious hunting tomorrow before the party crowd leaves.” Star Burst replied. Though they wore disappointed frowns on their faces, all three of them understood. They all got onto the lift and pushed their respective floor buttons.

“Well, alright.” Pop walked up behind Star and wrapped her arms around her old friend, and the two of them shared an embrace. She felt Pop put a card in her hand as they did. “In case you change your mind.”

Star smiled at her and they shared a small kiss. She got off of the elevator, the twins waved at her and she waved back as the elevator doors shut.


Star lied back on her bed, her hands on her stomach, staring at the ceiling. It felt like hours since she left Pop and her friends, but every time she looked over at the clock, only minutes had passed. Fifteen minutes, to be precise. They were one single floor above her, inhabiting half of the floor, as the suite took up that much of it. Her light beside the hotel bed was still on. She should have showered, but she didn’t. She should have been strengthening her resume, but she wasn’t. She simply lied there twiddling her thumbs on her belly. She hadn’t even changed out of her swimsuit. Star merely blinked and kept looking over at the clock at two minute increments.

Pops caressing hands on her body, she still feel them and that gigantic horse cockon her palm. She gazed at the ceiling and could only imagine what was going on up in that room.

But you don’t have to, you know that right? You don’t need to imagine what’s going on up there. All you need to do is get in the elevator, slip the card into its slot, and the door will open to their floor. That’s all you need to do. Yet, here you are, laying on your back, and neglecting everything because you’re too passive aggressive to do anything about it. Your ex was right.

“Oh shut up.” She said aloud and sat up on the bed. Her dark brown hair still felt salty, like seaweed and her breath still wreaked of the sweet liquor they had drank. That was when she heard the thump up on the ceiling. Her heart skipped a beat and looked up. She gritted her teeth and sighed. She held out her card in her hand, looking at it with such wanting intent.


“Nope, not yet.” Voltage said, Spark’s hard, throbbing cock stood up in front of her as he lied back on the bed. She was on all fours, her mouth ever so close to it and every once in a while she would give it a little kiss on the tip, making it twitch.

“Aw come on, Voltage, you can’t take the term ‘cock teasing’ to this level! Remember what happened last time you edged me this close? I almost made you choke when you tried to swallow it all.” Spark remembered that night very well. They had both remained abstinent for reasons that they couldn’t remember right off hand. Then the orange furred mare decided to make a game out of it and the consequences were about what you’d expect.

“You’re right, Spark.” She undid her bikini top, releasing her bouncing tits from its confines. Then she squeezed both of them around his rock hard penis and spit on it twice to lube up for a nice big titty fuck. “And I want to take it further this time.” She laughed maniacally, pumping her huge breasts over his shaft, licking his penis head every so often.

“How are we looking, Pop?” Voltage looked over at Pop Candy, who was on the other side of the bedroom, her ear lifted up toward the door. Pop merely frowned and shook her head.

“Awww, damnit! Spark, you weren’t dreamy enough! Maybe your cock isn’t as big as you thought it was. This can only be your fault!” She squeezed her tits tighter around his cock head and began to jerk him harder now.

“Nnnnf! What are you talking about? Pop was the one doing all the work! You just sat there and watched the entire time! If anything, it was you who wasn’t pulling her weight tonight!” Spark began to find it harder and harder to talk as his sister cupped her mouth over his tip and lick it with a very active tongue.

“Ah!” Pop gave a small burst of excitement and instantly began to pull her sling bikini apart to expose her gigantic tits. She hopped down from her bed and scurried over behind Voltage. Pop Candy pulled Voltage’s bikini bottoms down, pushing her muzzle into Voltage’s pussy from the back. Her tongue invaded Voltage’s pussy hole and began to swab it all along the edges. Voltage moaned against Spark’s dick and her face twisted with absolute ecstasy.

“Dear Celestia!” Voltage whispered. “You really want to impress--” She was silenced as Pop pulled her muzzle out of her pussy and shushed her as quietly as she could.

Voltage gave no complaints, she simply started sucking Spark’s dick and gave muffled moans as Pop explored every crevice of her pussy. She couldn’t remember a time when Pop’s cunnilingus was any better. Perhaps the circumstances were absolutely perfect for her to show off her skills.

The door was propped open perfectly for Star to look in, not knowing why she was so lucky. The rest of the suite was absolutely pitch black, with only the bedroom lights on and they were lit up brightly. Star watched as Pop poked two of her fingers into Voltage’s pussy and licked her all around as she fingered the orange unicorn girl. Her muffled moans became ever so intense against Spark’s magnificent genitalia.

Star drew in a deep, quieted breath as her pussy began to flow freely. She hadn’t even touched herself and already she could feel herself approaching orgasm. The brown pegasus couldn’t even stop her hand from going down into her bikini bottoms and pinching two fingers on to her drenched pussy lips. It was so hot, her breathing became stifled. She couldn’t stop her breaths from becoming more labored, but she tried to keep them as silent as she possibly could as two of her fingers slid into her cunt, covered in juices as they pushed in and out so easily. She let out a harsh gasping breath.Her hand instantly clamped down on her muzzle to try and stop it from making any more noise.

“Mmmmmm, yeah lick that fucking twat, you dirty girl!” Voltage said as she let go of her brother’s cock and just started to get him as deep into her mouth as she could. Deepthroating Spark was a feat that Voltage prided herself on, but it also took all of her concentration and right now, with her pussy being violated and all of the shenanigans going on, it was an impossible task.

Star’s eyes could barely stay open, her face was clenching up hard and her head was going every which way as she tried so hard not to make a sound. She was so deep in her lust that she was forced to lighten up on it, but she couldn’t bare to!

“Alright, I think that’s enough.” Pop said as she let go of Voltage’s cunny, stood up and walked to the bedroom door.

Star tensed up and her eyes opened wide. She slid her fingers out of her vagina and froze there in place. The door opened and Pop stood there smiling, as she leaned against the threshold. She couldn’t help but chuckle at the look on Star Burst’s face as she looked down at her. In her mind, Pop compared the pegasus mare to a lost puppy.

“I’m sorry, that was so rude of me, did you want to come in?” Pop said, and held her hand out toward her friend, who took it. She helped Star up and held her hand up to her snout. She smelled her fingers and frowned. She took Star’s other hand and drew in its scent, grinning up at her. “You really were enjoying it, weren’t you?”

The embarrassment could be measured in gallons. Star’s mind was going wild, she was absolutely speechless. She tried her very best to maintain some sort of dignity about her, but that was an impossibility. That was when Pop took the two wet fingers into her mouth and began to lick them clean. She sucked them both, let them out of her mouth, only to draw Star into a kiss. The cream colored unicorn picked up both of Star’s hands and put them onto her enormous tits, urging her to rub them and pinch the nipples between her fingers.

Star did just that. Their french kiss only deepened as she caressed Pop’s mammaries and the two of them leaned their heads opposite each other, rubbing their tongues together in growing lustful need.

Star gasped some as she felt two hands come up from behind her and grab both of her breasts. She looked behind her to see Electric Spark, she felt his rock solid manhood press up against her ass cheek.

“I hate to rush you, but you do understand I’ve been built up for the past few hours.” Spark said, and felt her hand reach around behind her and grasp his hot rod. Pop bent down and relieved her of her bottoms, exposing her dripping pussy.

Before long, Star found herself being worked on by all three of them. Voltage latched onto her right nipple, Pop on her left nipple and Spark rubbed his dick between her legs, her cunt oozed all over it as he did. She had no idea how to react and neither did her body. Her legs twitched with life and her arms clamped down on the two girls who sucked on her dark brown nipples and areolas. Her orange eyes gazed at Pop, who smiled back and began rubbing her teeth on Star’s tit.

She’d had enough! Star finally lurched forward onto the bed in front of her and exposed her ass and vagina toward all of them. Her fingers spread her ass wide to give Spark a perfectly good view, her face buried itself into the sheets to hide the embarrassment written all over her. It didn’t last long, though, as soon as she felt her pussy fill up with that wondrous horse cock, everything broke away from her thoughts, her mind was set on this moment.

“Oh, FUCK! You can’t possibly slide any-- OOH!!” He proved her wrong by pushing deeper into her, causing her to tremble. Her arms broke out in goosebumps, her pussy gave him endless lubrication, and her eyes could only stay open for moments at a time. He started fucking her with some serious force. Her hips rocked back against him. she cried out as he spread her ass cheeks and pushed in as deep as he could go. Her vagina accepted him with a brighter eagerness and had no trouble triggering Star into her first orgasm.

She pushed her face deeper into the sheets and cried out hard. Her knee jerked, as she pushed back against him so hard it hurt a little bit, but that simply egged her on harder.

Spark looked over to see that Voltage and Pop were simply watching, rubbing each other in the process. It seemed like an epiphany for one of them to come to in order to realize that they could be joining in. Not that he blamed them, it wasn’t hard for Voltage to get comfortable watching her brother work. However, welcoming Star back to the wondrous world of getting fucked was a special occasion. If they were going to make it memorable, they needed to pull out all of the stops.

As Spark plowed Star from behind, Pop pushed her pussy up into Star’s face. She had no problem at all driving her tongue down into Pop’s honey hole and start lapping up her juices. She only stopped to look back at Spark and cry out in absolute pleasure. Voltage came up to Spark from behind and with a hand between his legs, she grabbed onto his balls. Though she slowed his momentum, it was obvious that she did not decrease his performance. She massaged his scrotum, even going so far as to bring her head down between his legs and begin sucking his balls. The sensation of licking his sack while a girl backed her ass into him was amazing.

Spark, however, had the hardest time with it. The pressure was finally too great! Star was extremely tight and a mouth licking his balls literally forced him to cum! Jizz almost instantly filled Star up from the inside and spilled out of her. The next pulse of semen made it drop onto Voltage’s face. as he pulled out, another two large shots of cum battered her ass and lower back.

His cock finally rested on Voltage’s face, she laughed a little bit as she nuzzled the side of it. Spark was out of breath, but he was never too tired to lay down beside his sister and hold her tight.

Star, absolutely exhausted, laid beside Pop, the two of them curled up under the covers of the bed. Her hair was an absolute mess. The two of them gazed into each other’s eyes and smiled.

They looked at the end of the bed to see that Voltage had fallen asleep on top of Spark, her red and blue hair covering his chest. He was also conked out, his mouth wide open with his arms wrapped around her.

“I thought traveling was adventurous, I should have come with you to open that candy store.” Star mused, causing them both to get their faces close to one another and cuddle for a moment. “I'm so tired, but I don't think I've been this happy in a long time.”

Pop wrapped her arms around Star’s naked body and held her very close. “Let's enjoy it a bit more.” She whispered in her ear, causing Star to look up at Pop curiously.


The giant hot tub did not take long to fill up with two huge faucets on either side of it and before long they were enjoying scented bath salts and giggling quietly while seven candles flickered around on the edge of the tub.

“So, he was a good fuck, but I couldn't stay with him. We wanted two entirely different things in life. I guess I got so caught up in work that I never really thought of looking for another guy. You know what that's like.”

Pop nodded. “And I'm sorry I kinda tossed one of your bosses into the ocean.” She started to crack up along with Star, already it was working its way up to be a classic memory.

Candy’s face turned a little grim. Her mouth frowned and she looked off to the side. “Oh, yeah, I guess I should finally tell you. I’ve been hiding something from everyone for a long time now.”

“What is it?” Star started to look a little concerned.

“I told a lot of people that I am just decent at magic, and that most of my magic was based on making candy. The truth is a bit more grim than that.”

“You don't have to, Pop, I--”

“No, no, I should. It's fine, it's just something I'm not comfortable talking with strangers. You see…” She looked at Star, who was both poised for tears and more curious than ever. “I didn't just dabble in magic like I told everyone. I absolutely mastered it in its most raw form.”

Star's face became gaped with a wide open mouth. “Like Princess Twilight level?”

“Ballpark.”

“Whaaaat? How?” Star instantly wanted to retract the question, because that's when Pop’s eyes began to well up with tears.

“My family was big on magic for a long time. I practiced every day thanks to them helping me along with my studies. One day, I found a master spell, one that was way too high above my level.” She sniffed. “And by some miracle or curse, I did it. I pulled off a master level spell. But it came at a price.” She held both of her hands onto her stomach, looking at it, then back at her. “It ruptured some of my main internal organs, and almost killed me.”

Star gasped, her hands going up to her mouth. “Oh no…” she had an idea what Pop was about to say next.

“After that, I could never bare children.” Pop’s tears began to free flow down her face now. Star moved as fast as she could across the seven foot tub and embraced her dear friend in such a mighty hug.

“Oh, Pop, I'm so sorry.” Star began to bawl herself, and the two of them stayed in one another's arms for a good long while before Star was able to calm her friend down and press her face into Star's buxom. Her breasts were not especially big, but they were soft, and Pop nuzzled up to them, giving a great sigh.

“I really wish I could stay with you.” Star finally said after a long moment of silence.

“You are staying with us.” Pop retorted, then looked up at her.

“No, I mean, after this.”

“No, I mean, after this.” Pop retaliated, putting more emphasis on the “I.”

“What do you mean? I can't stay with--” That was when Pop got right up to her, face to face and eye to eye.

“Give me one good reason why not.”

“Well I--” Star started, then she remembered she didn't have a job anymore.

“Well do you have--”

“We have space. Keep going.” Pop was obviously not backing down and Star was obviously stuck for reasons. “You're staying with us until you get on your hooves. After this we're going to go to your room and packing your things. Then tomorrow, you’re coming with us for a day of fun on the town and we’re going to have cake. I’m sorry, but you really have no say in the matter.” Pop said smiling, causing Star to smile back with a deep blush.

Star’s eyes started to well up again. She honestly couldn’t remember ever being this happy. Life had shot her some curve balls that were hard to recover from and now her friend swoops in and rescues her like a damsel.

“I don’t know what to say…” Star embraced her once again. “What about Spark and Voltage? What will they say?”

“Oh, I told them about your predicament. I dramatized the situation up a bit and made them think it was their idea.” Pop Candy smiled, and both of them began to laugh outwardly.

True to her word, after their wondrous stint in the hot tub, both of them went down to Star Burst’s room and gathered her things. On their way out, they ran into Presto Changeo and he was not looking especially energetic. He barely even looked at either of them. He simply went next door to his room. his hand was holding his ass, rubbing it as he drew in sharp breaths.

The next day was all fun at the beach, shopping at the mall and damn good food from the sea.
