A Change of Pace
Chapter 2 (Clop) re-edit
Previous ChapterNext ChapterOne Month Later . . .
So over the past month of me living in the castle I’ve not only become well acquainted with the staff, but I’ve also gotten to know some of the locals. Yes I was met with mixed reactions, but they’ve since smoothed out, all except one. About a week after I’d arrived I meet a pony by the name of prince Blueblood, at first he seemed like he’d be nice but then he called me a hairless ape and tried to have his guards attack and arrest me. Thankfully Cadence’s guards stepped in and Cadence herself explained to Blueblood the situation involving me, which he merely scoffed at and left with his guards. But I honestly could care less about him, because tonight I have a date, well more or less a friendly outing with Cadence. She wanted to take me out to eat so I could get used to being outside the castle more, but if kind feels like a date.
Anthony’s room: 7:00 pm
I’m pacing in front of the bed right now, very nervous about Cadence and I’s ‘friendly outing’ as she called it. I have a tuxedo on that Flawless had made me a few days ago, and I have to mention all of the clothes she’s given me fit perfectly and aren’t uncomfortable at all, but that’s beside the point, I’m going fucking crazy!!
“What if I fuck up and spill wine on her, what if I act like a slob and she is disgusted by it, what if what if. I’m going crazy, aren’t I, Cadence is my friend and she’d never judge me for little things like that, right?”
A sudden knock at the door causes me to jump out of my skin almost, I take a breath and walk to the door and open it to be greeted by an absolutely stunning looking Cadence.

“C-Cadence, you look so gorgeous,” I stutter.
She gives off a soft blush, which makes her look even cuter, before smiling at me.
“Oh Anthony, you look very handsome yourself,”
I nod before asking, “Shall we get going?”
“Yes, allow me to lead us there, since you don’t know where ‘The Blue Dragon Diner’ is,” she says with a wink
I close the door to my room as I follow her out, walking next to her.
The Blue Dragon Diner: 7:15 pm
While walking I noticed that Cadence was walking very close to me, so close that my hand would brush against her fur every few minutes or so. After going down a spiral stair case and into the crystal empire a little we’d finally arrived at a not to fancy but more of a modern and average restaurant. It’s a one story building with outdoor patio seating on the outside, an array a seating on the inside (Bar side, booth, and table) and on the roof was more patio seating.

“Looks kind of like bar,” I say.
“It used to be, the inside is more of a bar setting and the roof is more of a restaurant setting, which is where we’ll be eating,”
There is a unicorn at the door with a notepad in her magical grasp, “Names,” she asks.
“Princess Cadence and Anthony,” Cadence says
The mare nods, “Table 14, rooftop, here are your menus and a waiter with be there shortly,” she says levitating menus to us.
“Thank you,” both Cadence and I say in unison before making our way inside.
After getting through the bar and up the stairs we finally manage to find our seats, not many ponies are on the roof eating though.
“This place seems like it be bustling more than it is,” I comment.
Cadence says, “Lunches up here are similar to the way it is down there, most go to the ‘Crystal Tulip for dinner and it’s always busy, here though it’s very mellow and easy to get seats without reservation,”
“Very smart idea, I’m starving so let’s see what they have here,”
As I gaze over the menu I quickly realize this is a sandwich shop, most the items are sub sandwiches and soup. As I’m looking over the sandwiches I notice a section with, meat?
“They serve meat here?” I ask
Cadence nods, “Part of the reason I wanted to bring you here, so you could eat the meat you need,”
As I look over the meat options I notice most are fish based sandwiches, but one did catch my eye as a winner to me; chicken, provolone cheese, and onion on white bread with hot sauce; baked all together for a crispy bread.
“Find what you like?” Cadence asks.
“Number 36, sounds so good right now, what about you?”
“The number 12,”
I look back a few pages and see the number 12; a wheat bread with a light mayonnaise spread, tomato slices, peeled carrot, sliced cucumber, all on a bed of lettuce.
“No meat?” I ask jokingly.
She giggles before saying, “No, you know I don’t like meat,”
“So you’ve had it?”
“W-Well, no,”
“So you don’t know if you like it,”
“I guess not, but still it’s not fair to the poor animal that it comes from,”
I lean back and grin, “I think you should try some of my chicken,”
“N-No, Anthony, why would I ever do that,”
“Why are there meats on the menu here?”
“Because it’s a griffon and dragon friendly restaurant,”
“Come on, just try it once, for me,”
She sighs before saying, “I’ll, try some of your chicken . . .”
“What, I couldn’t hear you,” say mocking her in friendly way.
“I said I’ll try the chicken, alright,” she says with a chuckle.
After the waiter takes our orders we change the subject a bit.
“You know Anthony, this past month as been way less stressful with you as my assistant, keeping my schedule in order and managing most of the small stuff, you’ve taken a lot of weight off of my shoulders,”
“It’s nothing really; I have a roof over my head and food to eat, what more could I ask for,”
Cadence looks into my eyes and thinks for a moment, before blushing and shaking her head.
“What is it?” I ask.
“It’s nothing,”
“It’s something, you can tell me anything, you know that,”
She sighs and says, “I’ll tell you later, after dinner,”
I nod, understanding that I’d eventually know.
“So, what do you like to do in your free time?” I ask.
“Free time, if I have any. When I have free time I’ll paint, read, or play the guitar,”
‘That guitar I saw on my first day, wow, she can play?’
“Is that the guitar in your study that you play on,”
She nods, “Yep, I’m a little rusty but when I get going it’s really hard to stop,”
“I’ve never owned an acoustic guitar, I’ve only had a few electric but that’s about it,”
“An electric guitar? Explain,” she says.
This is going to be kind of hard to do, “Around the sound hole on your guitar instead I have a few magnetic coils that pick up the sound made by the strings and convert them to and electrical signal, sending it to an amplifier which is also powered via electricity,”
“Your kind has found out how to control electricity and maintain it?”
I nod, “And that’s a very basic form of it, just wait until I explain a computer to you,”
“Oh please how complicated can that be?”
I laugh, “Do you know what a Graphics Processing Unit is?”
“Now that sounds very complicated,”
“And yet it’s a very basic component, personally I think the mother board is worse because everything is connected to that, but you get my point,”
She asks, “How far has your world come as far as technology?”
“Well, remember that car that you saw I had?”
She nods, I then say, “That’s a 20 year old car,”
“What, but how, you were traveling over 100 miles per hour,”
“Which is slow considering most can exceed that and some over 200 miles per hour,”
Her jaw dropped at this, she her mind having been blown away, “Th-That’s, astonishing,”
I nod, “It’s alright,”
“Alright, Anthony it’s more than just alright,”
“Guess I’m just used to it, our technology advances so fast in my world we have smart phones being released and improved daily,”
“Smartphone, that’s black rectangle you tap your fingers on?”
I nod, removing it from my pocket, “This can do almost anything you can think of,”
She thinks for a moment, “Can it do math?”
I nod, “Calculator app,”
“Send letters,”
“In a few ways; I can text, send e-mail, or talk to people on social media,”
“Shopping?”
“Yep, with the internet we can do anything from our computers and phones, including shopping which can be delivered to our houses,”
She has her head in her hooves and is watching me very interested in what I’m saying, “Your world seems so interesting, makes Equestria seem boring,”
“I don’t know, it’s way more peaceful here to be honest,”
She nods, “You mentioned something about war and what not, enlighten me,”
“Well, one of our foreign enemies whom are behind on technology recently developed a weapon that could reach my home country, while at the same time a much bigger and sort of our friend but sometimes our enemy has the potential to wipe my country out,”
Cadence is shocked to hear this, “And the people know this?”
“Yea, we all do through news on the internet, some of it is biased and some not but usually it’s easy to tell what's true and what isn’t,”
“How do you live day to day knowing your country could be attacked at any moment?”
“Small day to day distractions such as work and school; when we have nothing to distract us we usually browse the internet, watch television, play videos games, etc.”
“And what of the people who don’t have those distractions?”
“They either express how they feel via internet videos, art, and writings; or they protest in public and demand a change,”
“And what about you, how did you live your life knowing you were under constant threat?”
“Always keeping myself occupied, I wake up at 8 then shower and get ready for work at 9, finish my shift around 5 and go home; pay any bills if it’s pay day. Browse the internet; either just to watch videos or for stupid shit to buy with my money, eat dinner around 8 or 9, and watch television until I fall asleep around midnight. Weekends I’ll go for a drive, see a movie, or take my girlfriend on a date,”
There is a silence between us, Cadence then asks, “Do you miss her?”
I sigh softly and look down at the table at my hands, I haven’t really thought much about her to be honest; in fact I haven’t thought about going home at all, “I, I think I’ve gotten over the fact that I may never go back and have accepted my fate, and I’ve found a mare in the empire that I’m already crushing on,”
“R-Really?” she asks, her ears fold flat.
I nod, “Yep, I see her every day and she makes my heart flutter just making eye contact,”
She slumps in her chair, a sad look on her face, “I’m glad you’ve found somepony to like, and potentially love,”
I notice her body language, “Something wrong?”
She sighs, “Nothing, just tired is all,”
At this moment our food and beverages arrive and they look amazing, “Enjoy,” she says.
I grab a hold of my sandwich and take a bit, at first I taste the spicy sauces but am greeted with the amazing taste if chicken.
“Mmm, Cadence this is amazing, you should try-,”
I look up at Cadence to see her really sad, tears streaming down her cheeks, and her ears flat against her head.
“Cadence, dear, what’s wrong?” I ask
She looks at me, and instead of getting sadder she gets mad.

“Haven’t I made it obvious to you already, do I have to spell it out?”
“I-I, Cadence, I don’t know what to say. And spell what out, what is it?”
“That I love you!!!”
Silence falls upon us, behind her I can see a few ponies with hooves over their opened mouths, she loves me?
“Cadence, I had no idea you-“
“Don’t say another word, you’ve already done enough,” she says before she runs down stairs and outside away from the restaurant, I stand to me feet and don’t even rush my way out already knowing where she’s going.
Outside of Cadence’s Bed Chambers
After the long and lonely walk, I’ve finally arrived; I get close to the door before hesitating. It’s now or never, if I don’t fix this now it’ll always be broken. I take in a breath, and knock gently on the door.
“GO AWAY!!!” I hear her yell.
“Cadence, can we talk please, I have some very important stuff to tell you,”
“No, nothing you can say will make me feel better, just go be with your crush and never talk to me again,”
That hurt to hear, she’s really broken by what I’ve said, time to fix it.
“But, I'm already with her,”
The crying stops, the door unlocks and there she is; make up and tears smear her face, her lipstick wiped off, and her frown dominant.”
“W-What?” she asks
“I said, I'm already with her,”
“But, wait, you, what?”
“Cadence, I haven’t exactly been honest with you these past weeks, but I my crush is you,”
“I-I am?” she says with a hopeful look, I only nod, “Anthony, I-I’m shocked but so happy to hear this at the same time,” she says this time smiling and wiping tears away.
I bring her into a much needed hug, she wraps her hooves and wings around me and sighs as I rub from mane to back slowly and soothingly. She nuzzles her cheek into mine and gives me neck a soft peck.
“Anthony, I know this seems so sudden, but will you be my special somepony?”
I stop for a moment, she really does love me. I pull back and say, “I wouldn’t change it for the world; of course I will be,”
I lean my head back to look into her eyes, her hooves still on my shoulders; she smiles before moving closer, myself doing the same. Soon enough we’re sharing our first kiss, and I’ve got to say it’s probably the best kiss I’ve ever had, her lips firm and taste wonderful. After our first kiss she pulls back, she has a deep crimson blush dawned upon her face, and yet she can’t stop smiling.
“Anthony, I, that was-“
“Amazing?” I ask.
She nods, “Outstanding, relieving, and everything I could ever ask for,”
We share a small yet meaningful gaze into each other’s eyes before she asks, “Would you, um, like to come in? My bed’s big enough for two,” she says with a wink.
I nod before picking her up, she giggles at this and I carry her inside before using one of my legs to kick the door shut. I bring Cadence into another deep kiss, her left hoof rubs behind my right ear as she pulls herself closer to me. We moan together as I move my tongue into her mouth, it's kind of an odd feeling because of how flat her tongue is, but it's amazing in itself.
"Mhm, Anthony, make me yours," say Cadence lustfully
I don't say anything as I lay back on her bed, Cadence on top of me; my hands explore her body, rubbing her sides and flanks. She gives off cute moans as she does the same to me, rubbing my lower stomach and sides, I moan back as I move from her lips down her neck. I kiss and lick her neck before giving her a sensual bite.
"Oh, Anthony, d-don't stop!"
My left hand moves from her flank across to her stomach, I feel her getting wet as I move my hand down to tease her clit. She jumps at the sensation giving off an eep, her moans grow longer and louder as I rub her in circles.
"Fuck baby, I'm gonna cum, don't stop!!"
I kiss her again, this time diving my finger into her marehood, she moans into my mouth as I feel her tighten up around my finger and her juices pour onto my hand. She bites my bottom lip making me moan with her, I give her flank a good slap making her yelp. After pulling my finger out she uses her hoof to guide it into her mouth, sucking the juices off of my wet finger.
She looks down to me and says, "I didn't know I tasted so good, now lets see how you taste,"
She gives me a sultry look before giving my neck a soft bite and kiss before placing kisses down my shirt to my belt. She uses her magic to undo my buckle and remove my belt, she unbuttons my pants and before I know it my pants are off. She nuzzles my buldge in my boxers, looking up at me with her eyes half lidded, before biteing my waist band and pulling down my boxers revealing my erection.
"Oh, Anthony, is this all for me?"
I nod, "Just for you sweetie,"
She giggles before licking up the back of my cock, I moan softly as bites the tip of it softly. She then takes the tip into her mouth, bobbing her head slowly down my shaft. I groan in pleasure as I stroke her cheek, she looks up at me cock in mouth, she then pushes her self all the way down on it deep throating me not breaking eye contact for a second.
"Mhm fuck sweetie," I say with a moan.
She smiles as she moves up and sucks on the tip, her tongue making circles around it. My toes curl and my hips jerk as she does this. After a few minutes of this I feel myself getting close, I grip the sheets and my abdomen tightens.
"I-I'm gonna cum babe, keeping going,"
She doesn't stop, in fact she speeds up her licking, I brace myself and finally I explode in her mouth. I moan her name as I ride out my orgasm, she swallows my cum and has the look of enjoyment on her face. After a few minutes she pulls my dick out of her mouth with a pop, licking her lips with a smile.
"You like that Anthony?" she asks.
I nod before sitting up and bringing her into another kiss, she wraps her hooves around my neck and sits her flank in lap. My dick still being hard brushes against her marehood, giving us both a shiver and moan. She moves her flank in circles on my lap teasing me more, I grab her flank and pick her up before setting her slowly on my cock, the tip goes in first making her moan into my mouth. I then continue to set her down before filling her marehood.
"Anthony you're so big, mmh fuck me like you've never fucked before,"
I nod as I turn us over, laying her on her back, I then start to thrust in and out of her. She gives off cute moans and gasps as I speed up, I give her flank a good slap making her yelp. I move my head to her neck and bite her again as I push deeper, she moans louder as I thrust faster and harder.
"I'm about to cum again Anthony," Cadence yells between moans and before I know it her marehood tightens around my dick, she bites my neck this time as she rides out her orgasm. She then gives my neck a sensual lick before bringing me into another kiss.
I stop and flip her over on her hooves and start to fuck her doggystyle, my hands on her flanks as I fuck her balls deep. Her moans grow louder and her fur starts to become moist, I take my shirt off as I start to become hot and sweaty as well.
"Pull my tail Anthony, I've been such a bad filly,"
I only nod as I take her tail in my right hand and pull it gently, "Is that good hon?"
"Harder!!"
I give a good tug making her give off a squeel and a yelp, I pull it harder making her moan my name loud. I feel myself crotch start to tense up as I feel I'm about to cum a second time.
"I'm gonna cum again baby," I say between huffs
"Inside me, please, cum inside of me!" she yells with a moan.
After a few more thrusts I finally finish inside of her, I push all the way in as she moans aloud. I give a few more weak thrusts before stopping, I run my hands up her sides and to her chest, I then pull her up to me, her back to my chest. We stay like this for a few minutes, I give her neck and cheek a few kisses earning giggles from Cadence. I then pull out as we lay down, she turns to face me and gives me a smile.
"That was amazing Anthony, I love you so much,"
I smile back as I say, "I love you too sweetie,"
We share a passionate kiss, my hands run under her wings making her yelp.
"Careful, they're very sensative,"
"Hmmm, I'll have to remember that for next time," I say giving her a wink.
She smiles as we share another kiss, as we separate she starts to trace circles on my chest with her hoof, she then gives me a look before saying, "Lets get some rest, then tomorrow we can tell Flurry about us being together over breakfast, and after we take her to school we'll see where the day takes us,"
She looks up at me with a cute smile, "Would that be alright?"
I nod, "Sounds like an amazing day, I can't wait,"
She smiles brightly, before hugging close to my chest, I kiss her hair as I begin to yawn. She looks up at me and we share one more final kiss, after we separate she lays her head on my chest and is out like a light, snoring in a very cute manner.
"Goodnight my love, see you tomorrow," I say before passing out myself.
Author's Note
As sort of requested I edited a little bit; combined chapters 2 and 3 into a longer one, and I cut down the use of the word 'baby' in the clop scene (I read it over and you were all right about the over usage of it, my bad) I've been brainstorming the next chapter over the last couple of months and I might have an idea. If anyone has any idea on what they'd like to see next chapter I'd love to hear, thank you all so much for the support and see you later ![]()
