Epilogue - Rainbow's (not so) Rough Life

The first thing Rainbow heard was the soft twittering of distant robins, before her blissful, drowsy sleep was interrupted by an insistent ray shaft of morning sunlight hitting her right in the face... and a shaft of a different type up against her backside.

She stirred, finding that she was restrained by a pair of arms wrapping around her waist, snugly hugging her. In a second, it all rushed back to her: the crazy day she'd had with her sudden and early heat... the embarrassing dream, rushing about town, Fluttershy's terribly ineffective 'moon-tea'... and her protracted sexual marathon with Anon.

The memories of slapping wet flesh, of the roiling waves of pleasure, the whispered confessions rushed back to her in an instant... with an audible squeak and "*eep*!" her wings shot out to their full erect span, and she rolled away from Anon to a full standing position, adrenaline surging through her... what had she done? What had she admitted to?

"Good morning, sleepybutt." Anon said with a smile from the warm barn floor, a smile wide across his face. He had been awake for a while, but had chosen to simply observe the little mare's cute, noisy snoring.

Dash was almost hyperventilating as she looked down at Anon, her face flush. She could feel the ache's all across her body... legs, neck, wings... and especially her rear. It felt like way worse than that time she got spanked by her mom in grade school for skipping class. She was sure her butt-cheeks would be black and blue (or blue-er), and her mare lips were feeling sore as hell too. Dash grimaced, remembering Anon's size, still a bit incredulous she'd managed to fit that inside her small body.

"You feelin' alright there Dash? Take it easy, we went at it pretty good last night." Anon chuckled, propping himself up on one elbow as he began to pull the blanket down so he could get up. Immediately his morning wood popped into view, the nine-inch cock rigidly protruding from his body.

Anon yawned, stretching his arms and legs out contentedly, his impressive organ twitching with his movements. Dash couldn't help but look at him with a bright blush and a modicum of amazement that she'd managed to conquer that stallionhood. Before Anon could finish his contented little exertion and notice her slack-jawed stare, she looked away with a scowl and a bright blush.

"Uh... yeah dude, I'm good. Could you, like... put that thing away?" Dash said, trying to shield her vision with a hoof.

Anon gave her a raised eyebrow, but lept to his feet and grabbed his briefs from a nearby pile of neatly laundered and folded clothes (Celestia bless AJ). "Little late in the game for modesty. Dashie..." he laughed as he hiked up his jeans which scarcely concealed his underlying erection. "Did you not get enough of a look last night?"

"Last night!?" Dash stammered, totally flustered. "Last night... it... it w-was the h-heat you know?"

Anon instantly frowned, his sunny demeanor drained from him as he deflated (physically and emotionally). "This again..." he rubbed his temples in frustration, "Dash... I love you," RD blushed two shades deeper and went rigid with another squeaked "*eep*".

"Lemme hear you say it back to me... 'I. Love. You. Too'..." he crossed his arms and fixed the blue mare with a glare.

"R-rainbow Dash doesn't do m-mushy... OK? She does Awesome!" Dash squeaked, her words gaining force as she asserted herself. "L-last night was awesome! Not mushy!" Dash could see her argument was not working on the exasperated Anon, "look dude, I don't even do... that stuff... unless I'm in heat y'know... I've never done it unless I am!"

"So?" Anon asked with an upturned hand.

"Sooo, I haven't even really had my real 'first time' yet. It's different when you're crazy in heat!" Dash argued, gesticulating with her hooves, trying to get her point across.

"Dash... I know that last night mattered to me, and that it mattered to you! This tsundere crap was cute for a while but it's getting old... I love you! Do. You. Love. Me?" Anon lectured, as if he were disciplining a small resistant child.

Dash rubbed her shoulder, looking bashfully at the ground. Her voice became small, just below audible, only the barest of peeps, "...yeah..."

"What was that?" Anon said, leaning forward.

"I said: I don't know!" Dash shouted, loudly... annoyed that she had to be all lovey-dovey.

"That's a lie."

Both parties looked toward the source of the interjection, to find a smirking orange farmpony, already dusty from her early morning work, leaning casually in the barn's doorway.

"What was a lie?" Anon asked AJ, getting frustrated at this point.

"The whole caboodle! She loves 'ya like crazy, and she knows she does too. The bit about her havin' not bucked anyone unless she was in heat, was true tho'... I've heard some pegasi're particular 'bout that stuff, but I never figured Dash 'tah be the romantic type." She finished with a chuckle.

Dash bridled and whirled on AJ, pointing an accusatory hoof, "and just how the hay would you know all that?"

AJ sighed, tipping her stetson, "element 'ah honesty, Dash? I kin tell when yer lyin'? Thought yew'd have gotten this by now..."

Dash looked between the two, trying to come up with some other excuse. After a few moments of effort, she finally slumped to the floor, defeated. "Crud. Can't believe I'm some mushy pony like in one of Rarity's romance novels now. So uncool."

AJ and Anon burst out into raucous laughter.

"I... *haha*... guess that'll *hahaha*... do for an 'I love you' Dash." Anon chortled, wiping tears from his eyes. "Don't worry, when it comes to 'romance-novel' level gestures... you'll always be in last place."

Dash's wings shot out and she jumped to her hooves. "What did you just say about me!?" The anger on her face rising.

AJ stifled a second round of guffaws to tease Rainbow as well, "c'mon Dash... ain't no way you were winnin' no courtship awards any time soon..."

Dash was flustered... she was the best at anything, everything! Especially, if it had to do with anything related to Anon or was a competition with AJ. "I-I... hey! Not fair, OK! Just because I'm new at this doesn't mean I'm last place, or won't win any awards!" She pointed a hoof at Anon and AJ before going on, "Rainbow Dash is always in first place, and she wins all the awards! You'll see!"

There was as moment of silence in the air before Anon and AJ broke out into more laughter, rolling about on the floor.

"O-oh yeah!? So funny, huh!? Anon... you get your butt over to the guest room at Twilight's castle at 4 today and we'll see who's laughing then!... I'm outta here!" Dash spread her wings and made ready to launch off in one of her trademark high-speed departures, lifting off in the air and making for the open door...

And then her wings cramped. Dash's body was still aching and exhausted from her exertions the night before, and taught her a lesson about the importance of recovery at the worst possible time. She face planted right into the dirt, making a small trench with her face as the laughter from Anon and AJ reached a new level.

"St-stop it! Just give up D-dash! Y-you're gonna make me choke!" Anon laughed uncontrollably at the pegasus's antics.

"Yeah... yeah... yuk it up you bozos, just be there at 4... you hear me?" Dash unceremoniously limped off, toward the Everfree forest, flinching each time her extremely sore butt bounced from any movement by her rear hooves.

A few minutes later, once AJ and Anon had finished rolling about in unstoppable mirth. AJ cleared the tears from her eyes and affixed Anon with a stare.

"Welp Sugarcube, I gotta get back to 'mah chores... and yew had better get 'yerself 'tah Zecora's for a recovery potion..." AJ said, fixing her Stetson. "I figure that's exactly what Rainbow's doin' right now."

"Huh?"

" 'member how I offered to help 'yah out if Rainbow wasn't willin'? Well I'm pretty sure she's fixin' to take gooood care of 'yah at Twilight's at four..." AJ chuckled, shaking her head as she imagined what lay in stock for Anon. "With how competitive our Dashie is, I expect she'll bring out every romantic cliche in the book 'fer yah'."

"Great...." Anon said, picking himself up with a groan as he realized just how tired his body was. "I'd rather just sleep for a week."

"That's a lie too." AJ said over her shoulder as she departed, "yew' knew exactly what you were gettin' into formin' a pair with an athletic filly like Rainbow..." As she left toward the orchard she called back to Anon, " 'n I know exactly what I'm gettin' into when I say I'd like 'fer that pair to become a trio!"

========================================================================================

Anon knocked the gigantic front door of Twilight's castle at 4PM on the dot. Standing there, he had to admit he was actually a little bit nervous... a fired up, competitive Rainbow Dash was capable of many things, and he had no idea what her idea of 'romance' would be.

At least he wasn't sore anymore. Zecora's recovery potion was incredible. She refused to give it out to anyone training for sports events since that would constitute cheating. But after big fights with baddies or particularly difficult days of intense labor she could be convinced to give out a dose. Anon couldn't help but remember the 'sensu beans' from a show back on Earth... Zecora did confirm she had given a dose to Dash just before he'd arrived (which explained the vapor trail in the sky leading from the Zebra's hut toward Twilight's castle).

A very tired and annoyed looking Spike finally answered the door. Anon could see that he was wearing what looked to be a butler's outfit.

"This way please, sir." Spike said, with the air of a fast-food employee who would rather be anywhere but here at this moment in time and space.

Anon walked into the foyer of the castle, to see it decorated with all sorts of lovey dovey hearts, candles, and paraphernalia that looked like it belonged on a b-movie rom-com set.

He saw an exasperated Twilight Sparkle through the library doors, her head resting exhausted on the table, huge stacks of books all about her. Taking a detour from his butler guide (who seemed to be completely uninterested, even a bit disgusted, in the entire set-up and the part he was to play in it), Anon walked over to her, noticing that the huge pile of books (seriously, it seemed like it was half of the library in here) were all romance themed.

"Hey book-horse, what's been goin' on here all day?" he looked around the library, which was in a rare disheveled state, with all the romance books being literally dis-shelved.

"Rainbow Dash has been going on." Twilight moaned, without even taking issue with his 'book-horse' crack... which let Anon know that she was truly serious. "I suppose I have you to thank for my entire day of that crazy pegasus harassing me to 'study faster' even as she tried to read every romance tome in existence, while having me conjure up roses and candles and hearts all day!" Twilight started building up steam as her gripe session went on... "I swear she was starting to get into all the romance stuff until the letter she had Spike send to Cadence finally came back..."

Twilight paused and put on a sweet falsetto pretending to channel her foal-sitter, "'Just be yourself, RD. I've been monitoring the situation since yesterday!'..." then slammed her head back down onto the table.

"I mean, come on Cadence, I reply to my friendship-related correspondence right away! That could have saved me a whole day worth of work... and what's going to be a whole night of re-shelving!" Twilight finished with one of her trademark 'frustrated-arm-throw-in-the-air' gestures.

Anon chuckled and turned to re-join the waiting dragon butler before a purple hoof shot out to grab his arm. "Seriously, though Anon, Cadence may have just saved you from a bunch of romantic clap-trap, but this 'first time non-heat' stuff is a big deal for pegasi... and you'rea big deal for Rainbow Dash... take good care of my friend, OK?" Twilight fixed Anon with a pleading glare.

"Don't worry Twilight..." Anon gave her a reassuring smile.

As he walked away, following the tired-looking Spike, he muttered to himself "worrying is my job right now..."

Leaving Spike at the base of the stairs, he followed the trail of rose petals to the guest suite door, a place he had stayed for a while before setting up his own home on the outskirts of town. He knocked twice.

"C'mon in, big guy... door's open." A tomboy-ish voice called out to him.

He pushed the door open, taking in the soft candle light of the foyer as he walked down the hallway of the suite, toward where the bedroom was, hearing Dash's voice speaking to him from inside as he went...

"I went a little crazy today, Anon. I spent all this time trying to 'win' at romance... whatever that means... all that reading... ugh... only to finally realize once Cadence's letter came back..." Dash paused... so did Anon as he passed through the living area of the suite, and put one hand on the door of the bedroom, taking a deep swallow as readied himself.

"Romance isn't about mushy stuff or winning..." Anon paused from opening the door to hear Rainbow finish, "it's just about being your awesome self and letting another pony... er... person... see every bit of that awesome self... and to see every bit of that person's awesome self..." A smile graced Anon's lips as he realized the blue mare was stumbling over her words, every bit as nervous as him.

"Sheesh, I am bad at this... what I'm trying to say is... I love you, big guy... I'm not afraid to say it anymore." Anon pushed the door open as she finished...

"B-be gentle... it's my first time..."

Anon swallowed deeply... stepping forward toward the love of his life...

This would be-

"STOOOOOOOOOOOP" Anon found his vision flipping upside-down as he collapsed into a pile of yellow feathers, limbs and pink hair.

"Fluttershy?" "Fluttershy?" Dash and Anon both exclaimed at the same time.

A machine gun of excited but relieved speech came out of the usually timid and reserved pegasus, "Thank goodness I got here in time. I'm so sorry to interrupt but I spoke with Angel Bunny yesterday and have been out looking for you everywhere! You haven't been home all day yesterday and today! I finally caught up with you, but it seems like I was just in time!" Fluttershy squeaked out, letting out a sigh of relief as she held a hoof to her thumping chest.

"Uhh... what are you talking about?"

========================================================================================
11 months later

*Clang-a-clang* *Clang-a-clang* A piercing bell rang out.

"Ughhhhh..... more ice cream pleeaasse." Rainbow dash moaned out.

Anon looked over, only able to see a single blue hoof above the back of the couch in his home, holding a well-used cowbell.

"Right now!? Seriously? Can't you get it yourself?" Anon asked tentatively, sweat pouring down his face.

"*urgh* Honestly? Not really... I only want to get up to go to the toilet and go to bed... but if I have to..." Dash rolled slowly off the couch and her heavy hoof-falls slowly prefaced her appearance into Anon's view.

Dash's mane, powerful neck and chest were all as slim as they had been 10 months earlier, but everything else had changed. From that point on, her belly was swollen as big as a balloon... a taut balloon with very little pudge, looking pretty much fit to burst. Her belly nearly touching the floor it was so large. Even her belly button protruded as an outie (which did brush the floor sometimes), as if trying to get every little bit of volume out of the once lithe mare. The mass was even pushing her much larger and swollen teats our of the way so that they protruded between her legs making her have to straddle them as if she was holding two large melons between her thighs constantly.

Anon would have laughed at the comedy of seeing the once incredibly speedy mare restricted to a shuffling tiny waddle. She was barely able to move at this point, just like the doctor had predicted. Dash had been all excited at the start of all this to be the only pegasi to ever bear triplets, like it was some race she had won... she hadn't been all that excited for months now.

Dropping the cowbell from her teeth onto the kitchen table, she moaned to the ceiling, "this suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks."

She shuffled past Anon toward the fridge, opening the door and grabbing pickles, an apple, mayonnaise, a slice of pizza and pistachio ice cream. That wasn't the pregnancy though... Dash had always had the craziest tastes and loved to carbo-load for her workouts. The volume of food was though, Dash downed the entire spread in moments, letting out a loud belch.

"Seriously, what's even the point of this bell if you are just going to ignore it." Dash whined, picking the bell up in her teeth and ringing it right next to Anon's ear.

*Clang-a-clang* *Clang-a-clang*

"Little... little busy right now... Dash..." Anon grunted, trying to focus.

*Clang-a-clang* *Clang-a-clang*
*Clang-a-clang* *Clang-a-clang*
*Clang-a-clang* *Clang-a-clang*

Dash rang the bell even more insistently, bumping Anon's head a couple times.

"S-seriously?" Anon moaned, trying to shut his eyes and drown out the distraction.

*Clang-a-clang* *Clang-a-clang* *Clang-a-clang* *Clang-a-clang*
*Clang-a-clang* *Clang-a-clang* *Clang-a-clang* *Clang-a-clang*
*Clang-a-clang* *Clang-a-clang* *Clang-a-clang* *Clang-a-clang*
*Clang-a-clang* *Clang-a-clang* *Clang-a-clang* *Clang-a-clang*

"Unnnnnngh....." Anon panted, straining before moaning out. "*unnnnnf* FINE! There, I'm finished. You almost ruined it, but I'm finished. Happy with yourself?"

Dash laughed from her newly resumed position on the couch and threw the bell off to one side with a clatter. "Hahaha, that was priceless. Seriously... and maybe its just the hormones talking, but I feel like you and I had more class than to do it face-to-face on the kitchen floor." Dash taunted while waving a hoof lazily from the couch.

Anon groaned as AJ looked up at his sweaty, half naked body with a bemused raised eyebrow. Applejack was still in post-orgasmic bliss but she knew that since Anon had just exploded in her, he'd need some time to recover... therefore it would be up to her to land the retort on the cocky pregnant blue mare.

"C'mon Dash, it was just a quickie... someone's gotta take care of our herd's stallion... 'sides I think it IS the hormones talkin'..." AJ quipped, clearing a sweaty strand of hair from her panting face. "I seem to recall finding you knocked out on a barn floor, little Ms. Classy?"

Rainbow grumbled from the couch as farmpony and human, slick with sweat stood up from the kitchen floor where they'd just completed their quick tumble. "OK first off... that wasn't face-to-face, it was the proper way... second off..." she paused, realizing how ridiculous her statement was. "Sorry AJ... it is the hormones talking... I just want this to be over with!" She moaned out. "It suuuuuuucks!"

AJ and Anon both walked into the living room, practically falling onto the large couch on either side of Rainbow, Anon at Rainbow's tail end and AJ at her head, behind the pillows propping her up.

"You're almost through Dash, just a couple of days now." Anon comforted her, though he had to agree... he'd heard a 9-month gestation could be bad, but 11 seemed so much worse for some reason.

AJ stroked, Dash's mane. "I'm so proud of 'yew darlin', least you get a cesarean... unlike me... stupid Apple family tradition." She patted her belly gently, as they had just found out she and Anon'd been successful with AJ's previous month's unexpected extra heat.

Dash managed a grin, "heh, once you pop that single filly out of your marehood you'll be so loose Anon'll only have time for me!"

AJ playfully swatted at Rainbow's nose with a chuckle, "you're terrible Dashie, that ain't how marehoods work anyhow... don't be jealous that me 'n Anon are havin' more fun right now, you'll get plenty 'ah love in a week or so..." Dash brightened a bit at this, before AJ went on teasing. "Though... I expect you'll be fairly busy rotating two colts and a filly somehow on only two teats..." She chuckled, gesturing down at Rainbow's hindlegs, which were currently splayed out wide to provide room for the now-large melon sized breats and swollen teats.

Anon reached up and supported those well-filled breasts, absent-mindedly playing with their size in his hands (they were the perfect size to fill his grip, like a firm softball), and lightly flicking the pencil eraser sized nipples.

Dash groaned, "dude, STOP." She threw her head back. "The worst thing about the last few weeks has been the lack of human cock in my bucking pussy... so unless you're gonna blow a hot load all over me and then ravage my throat with your meat-shaft keep your beautiful cunt-rutting hands to yourself!"

Dash and Anon both froze, looking with a little bit of shock at the blue mare's sudden raunchy aggression.

Dash's tightened angry face paused, then relaxed before she let out another groan. "Pregnancy hormones, sorry... did I mention how much this suuuuuuuucks." She sighed, before propping herself up slightly on her elbows so she could see over her bulge to Anon, a sultry smirk growing on her face. "Although, if you wanna give yourself a little boob-job right now... I'd be down to watch."

AJ rolled her eyes at Dash's tumultuous mood-swings and nodded at Anon. "Go on stud, no satisfyin' her right now... I'll watch too." She scooted in to support her lead herdmare's back so she could watch without straining herself.

Anon grinned as he pulled his hardening shaft into position, using Applejack's juices to lube up the squishy space between Rainbow's crotch-tits. Sliding in, he barely needed to apply any pressure, the breasts usually already pressed against one another, and with his cock in between the feeling was fantastic.

Anon chuckled as he slid up and felt his balls slap against Rainbow's wet marehood. "Wow Dashie, you're already soaked huh?"

Dash smirked and shook her head a little, "uh, you're good dude... but not that good... I mean this is a nice sight and all, but the middle of my breasts is not the most erogenous zone on my body... I mean it's nice, but you just started."

Anon's face scrunched in confusion as he slid forward again, feeling the soaking wetness now on his legs and pooling on the couch... "uh... you're literally drenched right now, Rainbow. Like, so drenched... like wetter than I've ever seen you..." his grinding slowed to a halt and he paused.

All three members of Herd Anon looked at one another and came to the same realization.

"MY WATER BROKE!" Dash shouted, rolling to her side.

"I'll get the bag!" Anon jumped up, scrambling to find his jeans.

"I'll get Twilight for the teleportation spell to the hospital..." AJ jumped up rushing for the door.

"W-wait!" Dash shouted, from her position on the couch. AJ and Anon froze in place, looking back at her with concern.

"I... I just w-wanted to say..." Dash smiled, looking at her herdmates, "I love you guys."
