Chapters The Diamond Pole Chronicles
Chapter 1: The Diamond Pole
Aurora stared at the lit up sign. It was a stripper pole with a diamond on top, the words The Diamond Pole above it. It was night outside, Aurora having procrastinated most of the day.
Aurora chewed her lip. She desperately needed a job. She had her reputation back, for which she was glad. At least, she thought she did. Ponies were now talking to her. She still didn't accept any offers from ponies that previously turned her down out of spite. She looked down to the sign next to the wall: NOW HIRING.
Aurora took a breath and let it out. She stepped into the club, the bouncer letting her in, despite raising an eyebrow at her.
She looked around, fiercely blushing. This definitely was a strip club. The techno music relentlessly pounded into her head. Aurora grimaced, not used to this kind of music. She steeled herself and walked to the nearest dancer.
The dancer, a burgundy mare, sized her up and down, eyebrows raised. Aurora noticed that she was one of the few non-employee mares here, the establishment being mostly populated by stallions.
The mare recovered quickly and gave Aurora a sultry smile, “Hey there, sweetheart. Enjoying the show?”
“A-actually,” Aurora had to raise her voice over the music, “I’m looking for a job.”
The mare blinked before pointing behind Aurora. Aurora turned around to see a registration desk with a note saying “Applicants apply here”.
Aurora grimaced at her obliviousness. Embarrassed, she muttered an inaudible apology and and rushed away. The mare, white mane and coat, along with piercing blue eyes, at the counter, wearing a bunny-suit watched her with an eyebrow raised. Aurora got the feeling she was a no-nonsense type of pony.
Aurora winced when the bass dropped, not used to such abrupt changes in songs. She reached the counter, “Hi...I’d like a get a job here…”
The mare’s other eyebrow rose. She looked over Aurora, taking note of her assets, “Well...you seem pretty enough. You sure?”
Aurora blushed, “Y-yeah. I think. I don’t really have any experience with...um...dancing.”
“We’ll teach you. How well you do depends on you.”
“So I’m hired?”
“After a few moments of paperwork, yes.”
“Okay…” That was easy. Guess the others did keep her promise .
“Come with me.”
Aurora followed the mare into a more quiet hallway. Aurora cleared her throat, “Sorry, but I never got your name.”
“It’s Scarlet Gem. I’m the manager here,” Aurora opened her mouth but Scarlet spoke sooner, “We don’t really care about formalities here, so there’s no need for ‘Miss’ and ‘Ma’am’.”
“Got it.”
“And your name is?”
“Aurora Tale.”
“The same one the rumors were about?”
“...yeah.”
Scarlet looked over her shoulder and gave Aurora another look over. She turned back ahead and they went into a office. Aurora sat in a chair while Scarlet got the paperwork, “How soon can you start?”
“Right now. I don’t have anything else to do.”
“We’re about to close for the night. You picked an odd time to come here.”
“...I got nervous.”
“Understandable, considering what we do.”
“Um, what do you do here? Besides dancing.”
“We offer the stallions that come here a variety of services, ranging from private dances to sexual services.”
“L-like prostitution? That’s legal in Equestria?”
“Of course. Princess Celestia sees no harm in it as long as the mare servicing the stallion is treated fairly. Here at the Diamond Pole, a mare’s comfort and well-being comes first. You have the right to refuse a request if you’re not comfortable with it. And the stallions here should know that.”
“Go on.”
“This service is called ‘renting a private room’. It costs 50$ for a stallion to enter one with a mare. Basically, the mare’s job is to try to please the stallion as best as they can, with how the stallion wants it, as long as it’s not a danger to the mare.”
“What about fetishes?”
Scarlet blinked, “It depends on the fetish. And the mare. The mare can charge up to $10 for a fetish. Watersports and...scat are not allowed. Again, the stallion doesn't have to pay, it’s up to the mare.”
“Anything else?”
“Besides pole-dancing and private dances? None.”
"Okay."
"Another thing," Scarlet looked Aurora in the eyes, "You must be willing to take anti-pregnancy potions."
Aurora blinked, but it made sense, "That's fine."
"You'll also have to take a mandatory vacation during your heat."
Aurora blinked again, "Why?"
Scarlet just stared at her, unnerving Aurora a little bit, "You didn't learn about estrus during school?"
Fuck, "It's...been a while. Remind me again, please."
Scarlet gave a quiet sigh, "Estrus seasons are...special. Even on the strongest anti-pregnancy potion money can buy, if a stallion comes inside a mare during heat season, she will get pregnant. No exceptions. Something to do with the innate magic of a pony."
"O-oh..." Aurora couldn't help but shudder. She wasn't anywhere near being ready to be a mother.
Scarlet finished retrieving the paper work. She put it in front of Aurora, “Sign on the dotted lines, please.”
“What’s the pay like?”
“A single week of work, eight hours per day with breaks, pays 400 Bucks. Mares are able to keep the tips they receive from the stallions for themselves. You gain an additional $50 for each over-time hour.”
Aurora nodded and signed her name. She returned the papers to Scarlet, “What now?”
Scarlet looked at the clock in the room, “It’s closing time. We can teach you how to dance now if you want.”
“Might as well get started.”
“Come with me then.”
They went deeper into the building and stepped into the dressing room. Four mares were already there. One was a dark blue with a white mane. A lighter shade of blue streaked it. Another was yellow with a orange and blue mane. One was a deep purple with a white mane that had a streak of purple in it. The last was the first one she saw.
Scarlet gestured at them with her arms, “These are our dancers. We’re a bit understaffed, which is why we were so quick to hire you. The dark blue one is Sapphire Daisy, the yellow Lucky Glow, the purple Emerald Ether, and the red Velvet Kisses. Velvet has been with us since almost the beginning. Girls, this is Aurora Tale.”
Sapphire glared at Aurora, “The one who lied to the Element of Honesty? ”
Lucky glared at Sapphire, “And the one who was falsely accused of lying to Applejack. Didn’t you hear the word? Applejack made a mistake.”
Sapphire still scowled. Scarlet cleared her throat, “Aurora, we need to see what you look like. Would you take off your clothes?”
Aurora blushed madly, “B-but-”
“We’re all mares here, sweetie,” said Lucky.
Aurora gulped but nodded. She steeled herself and took off her clothes, “Underwear too,” said Scarlet.
Aurora grimaced but complied. The other mares raised their eyebrows, “...you need to shave,” said Scarlet.
“D-do I have to? I’d prefer not to….”
“...yes, you do. At least shave your armpits.”
“...okay…”
Scarlet’s eyebrows furrowed. Aurora was far too saddened to have to shave. She filed that note for later, “Aurora here needs to learn how to dance. If somepony would be so kind as to help her…”
“I’ll do it,” said Velvet Kisses.
Aurora was a slow learner, much to her embarrassment. An hour passed of training before Scarlet spoke, “Let’s see you do it on your own.”
Aurora gulped but nodded. Velvet went to a music player and turned it on. EDM blared out, making Aurora wince, “Can I listen to my own music?”
The mare’s glanced at each other, “Uh...sure, I guess,” started Velvet, “Do you have-”
“I have it on my phone,” Aurora put on her panties and retrieved her iPhone. She put it on, already knowing which song to play. She waited for the piano to pass before starting.
Scarlet and the others’ eyes widened at how fast and zealous Aurora moved around the pole. She branched out onto the stage, dancing like how they taught her. Aurora suddenly stopped, as the music slowed. She waved her hips around. When it kicked back up, she went even faster than before, practically flipping around. She did flip a few times.
The song ended and Aurora ended the dance with a split. Breathing heavily, she looked at the other dancers, “H-how’d I do?”
The mare’s stared at her in shock. Scarlet spoke first, “You sure you haven’t dance before? That was a veteran-level of dancing.”
“I just...went along with the music.”
“What kind of music made you dance like that ??” asked Lucky.
“...foreign music.”
The others blinked. Aurora looked uncomfortable, so they decided to drop it.
Scarlet spoke next, "Now we see how well you can fuck."
Aurora's eyes grew huge, "Y-you're j-joking..."
Aurora stared at Scarlet, who had the slightest of smiles. The other mares were trying to hid their giggles. Aurora got the distinct feeling she just got played. She let out a breath, "H-hah hah, very funny..."
Sapphire snickered, "Scarlet may be serious most of the time, but she does have a sense of humor."
Aurora got her clothes back on. She looked at Scarlet, "So, what time do I start?"
"5:00 P.M." came the reply.
Aurora checked her phone and nodded, "Alright...I'll see you then..."
Aurora said her goodbyes and headed for home, mind abuzz.
The Diamond Pole Chronicles
ERT! ERT! ERT!
Aurora immediately shut off the alarm on her phone, long used to waking up in an instant. She had set it to 8:00 A.M. She had a big day ahead of her. Or night, as it were. She got up and went to the bathroom. She stood in front of the toilet and relaxed her bladder, still half asleep.
Aurora's eyes widened as urine streamed down her legs, "Aw, piss!" She immediately stopped peeing and knelt down, grabbing some toilet paper. Still gotta get used to pissing sitting down. She thought as she cleaned up the urine on the floor.
She sat down this time, and peed correctly. She sighed after she finished her business and started the shower. Before she went in, though, she grabbed a razor that she had borrowed from Pinkie Pie last night( why Pinkie was up that late, Aurora would never know.).
Just my armpits. Nothing else. She thought before starting to shave the hair underneath her arms. Her skin was more or less the same color as the short hair that covered her body, so she wouldn't have to worry about it looking weird.
She finished and entered the shower, hanging to edge while she adjusted the water temperature. She washed but stayed in the shower, a bad habit of hers. Still, it gave Aurora time to think. A stripper and a prostitute. Aurora shook her head in disbelief. I wonder what my parents would think...
Immediately Aurora's mood went down the tubes with the water. It's been, what...a year since I 'passed away'?
Aurora looked at her hands somberly. And now this. I'm a fucking pony. An anthro one, at that...
Aurora sighed. I mean...meeting the Mane Six is nice and all, but I want to see my parents again...or my girlfriend...or my other friends....
Aurora stayed in the shower for a few minutes more before forcing herself to shut off the water. She stepped out and dried herself. She looked at herself in the steamy mirror. Though...I hafta admit...I like being a female better than being a male... She punctuated this by poking at her breasts. Aurora giggled before grabbing her tooth brush.
After brushing her teeth, Aurora quickly got dressed and went to the living room of her apartment. There she had what was called a P-Box, which she found insanely hilarious. Unfortunately, ponies weren't big on violence, even in video games. Thus, the majority of the games that were out there were either racing or crafting games, neither of which really interested her.
Thank God I have some stuff on my iPhone. Aurora grabbed her charger and plugged her phone in. She grabbed a snack bar and started up XCOM EW. She started a new game. Hope I get a Mexican, so I can remake 'Humberto'. Aurora thought, giggling.
She actually did get a Mexican, and Aurora laughed as she renamed him. She managed to get to the Mutons when her stomach rumbled. She saved and pressed the home button, seeing that it was noon. She made herself a fruit salad. Ponies weren't big on meat, either. Luckily, the fruits and vegetables in Equestria was far better than on Earth.
She ate in silence, listening to her music. The earphones that came with her had fit moderately well, but the pony-made ones fit better. She couldn't use the Earth internet yet, but Twilight said she could theoretically do that. Aurora's mind wandered back to that moment.
Aurora knocked on Twilight's door in the castle. Said door opened and Twilight blinked at Aurora's unscheduled presence, "Aurora?"
"Hey Twilight...." Aurora fidgeted before continuing, "Can...Can I ask you a big favor?"
"Of course. Come on in," Aurora entered Twilight's room. Twilight spoke again, "What do you need?"
"..."
"Aurora?"
"I...Can...can you send me back? Back home?"
Twilight's face slowly turned into a grimace, "I...can't."
"But...you're really good at magic. I'm sure you can find Earth..."
"It's not a matter of finding Earth or not..."
Aurora looked confused, "Then what is it?"
"...You said you died on Earth, right?"
"Yeah...?"
"...You're body's dead. If I opened a portal and you stepped through, your soul would...disperse."
"...What?"
Twilight sighed, "Without a living body to go back to, your soul would evaporate into Earth's ether. You'd...disappear...forever."
Twilight felt like horseapples as she watched the hope in Aurora's eyes flicker and die. Tears fell out of her eyes, and she fought back sobs, "I-I'm...I'm s-stuck? I-I can n-never go home? I c-can never see my p-parents again?"
Twilight probably shouldn't have shaken her head, but she did. Aurora collapsed on her knees and bowed her head, sobbing openly now. Twilight walked to her and hugged her. Aurora sobbed into Twilight's shoulder. It was then Twilight noticed that Aurora had earphones in. Twilight's eyes trailed down the line and saw it disappear into Aurora's pocket. Twilight got an idea.
She waited until Aurora stopped crying then spoke, "Do you have the ponynet on Earth?"
Aurora sniffed, "Wh-what?"
"Do humans have ponynet?"
"...it's called internet, but yeah...Why?"
"...You may not be able to see your parents in person, but you can still talk to them."
"What?"
"I think I can get human internet on your phone."
"You...you can?"
"I think so. I'd need to see your phone for a few days, though..."
"Why?" Aurora asked as she got up. Twilight motioned her to a table. They both sat down.
Twilight thought how best to explain what she knew, "...Would you say your phone is a part of you?"
Aurora blinked, a bit confused, "I wouldn't say that...but I'd be very miserable without it..."
"Would you say you have a close bond to it?"
"Yeah. I take it everywhere. I even sleep with it."
"It has been noted that if a pony likes and uses an object enough, they can form a sort of...bond with it. In a sense, it becomes part of them. This is useful for tracking down missing ponies."
Realization dawned on Aurora's face, "Or connecting to other worlds...Are you saying-"
"That I can connect you to Earth? I think so... Nopony has done this before, so there's a good chance that it won't work. Or work very well."
"I'll take what I can get," Aurora was smiling widely, "Oh Twilight...Thank you!"
Twilight smiled back, "It's alright. You're my friend. And friends help each other."
That was two months ago. The good news was that Twilight was sure by now that she could get human internet on Aurora's phone. The bad news was she didn't know how long it would take; progress was slow.
But still, it gave Aurora hope. The hope of getting in contact with her friends and family again. Maybe even seeing them via streaming. To let them know she was alright.
To let them know I'm a pony now. And a girl. Aurora sighed. That would be a problem. She didn't know how exactly they would react. Hopefully she could easily convince her parents by showing them her phone and telling them stories that they both had.
Silver lining, Aurora. She wasn't dead. At least, not here. Plus, she met with the heroes of the show, albeit anthro versions of them.
She pulled out her phone again and started a new game, Terminator. Half the features was offline due to not having access to human internet, but it was nice to shoot Terminators.
Time passed, and it was time for Aurora to go.
Aurora got there half an hour early, another bad habit. She quickly found Scarlet, "Hey, Scarlet. I'm ready."
Scarlet Gem motioned her to the back room. When they got there, Scarlet turned to the grey pony.
“You ready for your first day on the job?” said Scarlet. Aurora nodded nervously, “Alright, here. These are your clothes. For now, you’re just dancing.”
Scarlet handed Aurora a lacy bra and a garter getup, complete with straps, belt, and leggings. Aurora quickly put them on and stepped out of the dressing room and into the EDM-blaring club. Aurora gulped as she ascended onto one of the stages.
Aurora could feel the stares of the stallions. She gulped again but started to dance. As she swung her hips, she grew less and less nervous. This was kind of...fun. She could do with different music but she could ignore that. She swung around the pole, smiling. She had no idea why this was fun.
“Hey!”
Aurora turned her head to see a stallion motioning her closer. Aurora walked to him, remembering to sway her hips. She squatted at the edge of the stage and looked at him with a hand under her chin, “Yyyes?”
“You’re new here, right?”
Aurora blinked, not expecting that question. She scratched the back of her head shyly, “Yeah...just joined today.”
“Well, I hope you stay. You’re really hot.”
Aurora blushed, smiling, “Thanks,” she blushed harder when he put a Buck in her garter strap. She winked at him and stood up.
“Hey! Over here!”
Aurora blinked at another stallion’s voice. She walked over to him. She stuck out her hips and put her hands on them, “What is it, sweetpea?”
He held up a few Bucks, “Lap dance, please.”
Aurora gulped, nervous again. She took in a breath and let out, “Alright.”
She turned around and sat on him, grinding her body against his. She rocked her hips side to side, stroking his legs. Aurora bit her lip as she felt his stallionhood. She wetted her lips, her sex drive taking over. She suddenly twirled around and straddled his lap.
Aurora pressed her breasts against his chest, “Y’know...we could have some fun~”
The stallion grinned, “Alright-”
“Onyx Hooves?!” a shrill voice came from the side.
They both turned to see a mare to the side. And she was pissed , shaking in rage. Aurora noticed something gleam on her hand and saw a ring on the mare’s finger.
Aurora quickly put two and two together. She got off of him, staring at him in astonishment, “You’re married ?!”
The stallion shrunk down in his seat. Aurora stepped to the angry mare, “Miss, I’m so sorry-”
The mare slapped Aurora in the cheek. Aurora took a step back, clutching the stinging skin, “Bucking harlot !!!”
Aurora winced, her ears down against her head. The mare continued, “Harlots! All of you! Bucking whorses! You’re disgusting!”
Everypony had stopped what they were doing and staring at the unfolding scene, “I should have you hauled away and arrested for trying to seduce another mare’s stallion!”
“I-I-I didn’t know-”
“Cut the ignorance charade! You probably would’ve seduced him even if you had known! That goes for all of you! You’d bend over and lift your tails at the slightest provocation! Who do you think you are?”
“Ma’am,” Scarlet Gem walked up to the scene. The music had turned off. She was strangely calm, “I’m going to ask you to leave.”
“Oh, I’ll leave. After I give your whorse a piece of my mind!” The mare raised her hand again to slap Aurora. Fast as lightning, Scarlet grabbed the mare’s wrist. Scarlet grabbed the other wrist and held them at the mare’s sides, “Get your disgusting hands off of me!”
“I’m asking nicely. Take your stallion and leave. If you do that right now, we won’t press charges for assault.”
“I’m sorry ?! Arrest me ?! It’s you who should be in jail! Especially her !”
“She was just doing her job. The only two ponies at fault here are you and your husband. Keep a better lid on what your stallion does.”
“How dare you! Let go of me this instant!”
Scarlet glanced over the mare’s shoulder, “The way I see it, you have two choices. One, you can leave with dignity and never come back. Or, I could have the security that just arrived haul you two out of here. Your choice.”
The mare looked over her shoulder to see there were indeed two security guards behind them, “You little….this isn’t over.”
“Yes, it is. Choose now.”
“Fine!” Scarlet released the mare. The mare glared at her husband, “Onyx….we’re going to have a talk when we get home…”
The mare left, practically dragging the stallion away. Everypony didn’t move, trying to comprehend what had just happened. Velvet was the first one to speak, “Um...where’s Aurora?”
Scarlet grimaced. She raised her voice, “Sorry boys. We’re closing early.”
The dancers and Scarlet split up, looking for the newbie. Emerald was the one who found her. She was in the bathroom. Her mascara was running as silently cried. Her ears twitched at Emerald’s arrival, but didn’t say anything.
“...Aurora?”
“...am I a harlot?” Aurora didn't know exactly why, but being called a harlot...hurt. She'd rather be called a slut or a whore.
“Of course not!”
“...I was about to have sex with a stallion. For money. I think that makes me...a harlot.”
“Then I guess we ALL are harlots. And I’m find with that. I love sex, and if I make a few Bucks on the side, so what? Aurora...You shouldn’t be afraid of what other ponies think of you. That’s one of the first things you need to learn when you work here.”
“...what if I don’t want to work here?”
“...Then I guess we’d miss you. I mean, we hardly know you, but you seem like a nice mare. I’d love to be your friend.”
“...but I’m different.”
“So?”
“Really different.”
“Again, so? We’re ALL a little different here. You shouldn’t be afraid to show your true colors.”
Aurora looked like she was about to say something but thought better of it. She opened her mouth again after a while, “I do like dancing. I...guess I’ll stay here for a while.”
Emerald smiled, “I’m glad to hear that.”
Aurora still frowned, "I don't hear any music..."
"Yeah...we're closing early."
Aurora winced and sighed, "What a perfect first day."
"Nopony's mad at you, Aurora."
"You say that now, but when you get your paycheck and notice a full day without pay, you'll know who to blame."
"...well, I don't know about the others, but I don't mind. I blame that mare...! She hit you! Are you okay?"
Aurora touched her cheek, which was slightly red, "I'm fine." The damage is superficial .
Aurora sighed again and turned to Emerald, trying not to stare at the purple mare's chest, which was nude, "Might as well face the music. Or lack of..."
The two went out of the bathroom and found Scarlet. Velvet was with her. Aurora couldn't bring herself to look in their eyes, "Sorry..."
Scarlet raised an eyebrow, "For what?"
"For...forcing you guys to close early?" Why wasn't Scarlet mad? She made them lose customers.
"We'll survive a missed day. Are you coming tomorrow?"
Aurora blinked and looked up, "I...uh...yeah...I think I am."
"Good. Same time."
Aurora nodded and got re-dressed. She sighed as she went out the door. Silver lining, Aurora. She wasn't fired, so that was good. She got back to her apartment and sighed yet again. She was tired...
However, when she got into bed, she couldn't fall asleep. For some odd reason, she couldn't get comfortable.
Aurora knew why. She groaned and took off the blankets. Seeing that much breasts and bulges had got her worked up. Kinda hoped being a girl would curb my sex drive...apparently not...
She took off her underwear and started to touch herself. As she inserted her fingers into her increasingly wet tunnel, her worries drifted away. Silver lining, Aurora. Fapping as a girl is much better than doing it as a guy.
Aurora hummed in delight as one hand moved her fingers in and out while the other gently caressed her vulva. She smiled peacefully, sighing in content, "Mmmm..."
Aurora's fingers went faster, and her other hand went up to her clitoris, which was starting to show up, "Y-yeah...riiight there..."
Aurora breathed heavier and heavier, now starting to moan out loud, "F-fuck...That feels nice ..."
Her fingers went faster, both the ones in her vagina and rubbing her clit. She eventually stopped thrusting in and out of her wet pussy and grabbed one of her breasts. The hand at her clit went faster and faster. Aurora was close, now. Very close.
"Oh God...Oh God oh God oh God ohGodohgodohgodOH GOD!!! "
Her legs locked straight, shivering as she mashed her clit in a rhythm as she came. Pure pleasure emanated from her vagina.
And then it was over. Aurora went limp, breathing heavily. Her limbs felt like lead but she managed to get back under the covers. She brought her hands up and smelled them, quickly falling asleep.

Humberto was the best medic I ever got. He was bald and had a sick beard.
The Diamond Pole Chronicles
Author's Note
I'm gonna try doing the sex parts in 1st person. However, I would like your opinions on whether I should do this or not.
Also, I know the correct way is '$50', but my headcanon is that ponies put the dollar sign after the number.
Chapter 3: Second Day
Aurora woke up one her own, today. Welp...Time to get up.
She didn't get up. I said, get up.
Her body refused to move. Almost like...Aw, fucking hell.
She couldn't even sigh as sleep paralysis claimed her. ...my nose itches...
She tried to move with all her might, but her body still refused. She gave an internal sigh, Well...at least I don't have any fucking hallucinations like some people do-
The door to her bedroom slammed open and heavy footsteps followed. Aurora couldn't turn her head to look, but her heartrate skyrocketed. She could hear heavy, ragged breathing. I-it's not real. It's not real. It's-
Something yanked the covers off of Aurora, exposing her naked, sweaty body. That did it. With a screech Aurora attempted to scramble back only to get tangled up in the covers that never moved. Her eyes rolled wildly around the room, breathing heavily. She looked at the door.
It was closed. Just like she had the night before. It was all just a hallucination. Holy FUCK! What the fuck was that?!
Never in her entire life had Aurora had a sleep paralysis like that. The worst that had happened to her was the urge to throw off the blankets.
Her heart beat slowly returned to a resting state as Aurora ran a hand through her mane. Goddamn!
ERT!!! ERT!!! ERT!!!
"EEEK!!!" Aurora nearly jumped out of her skin at the sound of her phone's alarm. She fumbled to shut off the alarm, hands shaking, "G-God..." She sat back against the head of the bed, trying to calm down.
She stayed like that for a few moments before deciding she was fine. She noticed that the sheets were soaked with sweat. Don't do it. She got on her hands and knees, in front of a wet spot. ...fuck it.
She stuffed her head into the sheet and breathed deeply. Immediately she calmed down and let out a breath. ...I'm so goddamned weird.
She gave one more sniff before jumping out of bed. She grabbed the panties that were on the floor and put them on. Aurora usually only slept with her panties on, so she went to the drawer in the room and picked out a bra. She took it to the bathroom and started the shower.
Aurora sat down this time, the warm water helping her relax. Her eyes drooped before remembering something. Gotta get some anti-pregnancy potions.
She stood up with a grunt and shut off the water. Quickly brushing her teeth, Aurora checked the time on her phone. 8:40.
She got dressed. She had a bit of a struggle getting the bra on, but was aware that she was getting better on putting them on.
Aurora locked up her apartment and quickly went to the marketplace. She'd been in Ponyville long enough to know roughly where the potions were.
"Howdy, Aurora!"
Aurora grimaced at Applejack's voice. She looked to the side and saw Applejack waving at her. While not outright hating the orange pony anymore, Aurora was still uncomfortable around her. Still, she managed to force herself to give a small wave.
"Whatcha here fer?"
Please stop talking to me, "...potions."
Applejack tilted her head, "Potions? Whut fer? Are ya sick or somethin'?"
"No..." Please drop it...
"Well, whut is it?" Applejack came up to her, much to Aurora's displeasure.
Goddammit, "It's...for a job." Don't ask. Don't ask. Don't ask.
Applejack smiled, "A job, huh? Well, that's swell! Whut're ya doin'?"
DAMMIT! "I...uh...it's...um..."
"Yeah?"
Fuck my life, "I'm...a dancer..."
Applejack blinked, "A dancer? Then whut do ya need a potion fer?"
Abort! Unfortunately, Aurora knew better by now to try and lie to Applejack. It really didn't end well last time, "It's...so...uh...I don't...get pregnant..."
"Come 'gain?"
ABORT! Think of something. Anything! "Uh...It helps me on the job! Gotta go!"
Aurora speed walked away, leaving Applejack more or less confused. Aurora found the potion store in record time and quickly and quietly bought the potions. It wasn't pleasant as the seller was a stallion. Aurora was sure she was as red as Big Macintosh, and refused to look up at the stallion.
With some time to kill, and feeling a bit hungry, Aurora decided to eat at Sugarcube Corner. She entered the store and was greeted with a wave by Pinkie Pie, "Hey, Aurora!"
Aurora waved back, "Hey Pinkie!"
"What can I get ya?"
"A croissant, if you have any."
"Sure thing!"
Aurora paid and sat down at a table inside. Pinkie turned to the entrance to the kitchen, "Mrs. Cake, can I have a break real quick?"
"Okay!"
"Thanks!" Pinkie said before skipping to Aurora's table. She slid into a chair, "Soo, what's new with you? Hey, that rhymed!"
Aurora gave a small smile, "Well, I just got a job-!" Fuck! Aurora had quickly realized her blunder but it was too late.
"Oooh...What is it?"
"I-it's-"
"Wait! Let me guess! Is it...a gardener?"
"N-no-"
"A writer?"
"No-"
"A chef? A librarian? A Royal Guard? An alchemist? A-"
"I'm a dancer!" Aurora liked Pinkie, but sometimes she got carried away.
"Oooh! What kind?!"
"...an exotic one..." Aurora said, looking down and blushing.
Pinkie tilted her head, "Like a stri-"
Aurora put her hands over the pink mare's mouth, "Not out loud! Please...but...yeah...I'm a...stripper."
Aurora took her hands off of Pinkie's mouth and waited for the disgusted tone. She never got it, "That's cool!"
Aurora blinked and stared at her, "You're not...weirded out by it?"
"Nope! Always wondered what it was like, anyways."
"I...okay...Well...I work at The Diamond Pole now."
"I know that place! But don't they also-"
"Yep!" Aurora interrupted, "I am...now...a...prostitute."
"Huh...Well, I heard it pays well. And you get to have sex a lot!"
"Yeah...Are...you still my friend?"
"Of course, silly. You could work in a garbage dump and I'll still be your friend!"
Aurora smiled, feeling a bit better, "Thanks, Pinkie. But, can you do me a favor?"
"Sure thing!"
"Can you not mention what I do now to anypony else? I'd rather let them find out on their own."
"You got it!"
Aurora smiled again, relieved, and ate the rest of her small lunch. She said goodbye and left for The Diamond Pole.
Aurora arrived at The Diamond Pole and went inside. Nopony was there except some of the staff. She quickly went into the manager's office and found Scarlet Gem there. Aurora shifted uneasily, "H-hey...I'm here."
Scarlet glanced up from the papers she was working on, "You're early."
"Sorry. Bad habit."
"...Well, it's best you're here now. I still need to show you some things," Scarlet said before getting up. Aurora followed the white mare to back room and went to a locker. It had Aurora's name on it, "This is your locker. You can put your stuff in it."
"Alright."
"We have some anti-pregnancy potions too."
"Already bought them, miss."
"...don't call me miss."
Aurora winced, "Sorry. Forgot."
Scarlet nodded and motioned the grey mare to follow her. They came into another room, and Aurora immediately could figure out what it was used for.
"This is our employee lounge. You can come here on your breaks and lunch."
A pony was already there, Emerald Ether, if Aurora remembered correctly. Emerald waved at her, and Aurora gave a shy wave back.
Scarlet ended the tour by showing Aurora the 'private suites'. Here was where the mares took stallions for private dances and sexual services.
Scarlet ended the tour and went back to her office. Aurora, with nothing better to do, went to the employee lounge. A new arrival was there, a yellow Pegasus. Lucky Glow, I think.
Aurora plopped down in a chair and brought out a anti-pregnancy potion. She downed it quickly, ending with a shudder. The taste was...bland. She didn't like it.
"You know, dear, those can come in flavors," Lucky Glow said.
Aurora blinked, "They do?"
"Yeah," said Emerald.
"...that woulda been nice to know," Aurora shrugged and pulled out her phone. She started up XCOM and continued her game.
Humberto got flanked and quickly went into bleed-out mode, "Shit."
"What's wrong?" said Emerald.
"Uh...nothing..." Fuck. Didn't bring a medkit. Humberto, no!
"...Well, what are you doing?" asked Emerald.
"I hope it's not one of those 'video game' colts waste their time playing," said Lucky.
Welp, know who's not gonna like me, "Yeah, actually. It is."
Lucky grimaced, "I will never understand the appeal of them. Why not read a book?"
Aurora chose not to answer as Humberto's bleed-out timer hit zero. And then a panic chain occurred. Aurora watched in mild horror as one soldier shot another one, causing that one to panic, which caused another to panic and move into an easily flankable position. Only the sniper didn't lose his cool.
Aurora was rarely one to rage quit, but this was one of the few times she did. Besides, it'd be best if she fought something that wasn't alive. Terminator it is, then.
"What game are you playing?" asked Emerald, stepping closer.
"Terminator."
"It's not...violent, is it?" asked Lucky, getting a bad feeling about the new recruit.
"You just fight machines," said Aurora, getting slightly annoyed.
"Machines? Like robots?" said Emerald.
"Yep," Aurora said as she started a mission. Emerald peered over her shoulder as Lopez took cover from the skeletal machines. She easily dispatched them as she was playing on an easier level.
However, she really couldn't play with Emerald hovering over her shoulder, so Aurora quit the game. It's time to start work, anyways.
Aurora stood up and went to the dressing room. Sapphire was already there, watching her carefully. Aurora ignored her and put away her stuff. She donned her 'uniform' and took a breath to steady herself. She then went to the stage room.
EDM blared through the speakers, forcing Aurora to pin her ears to her head. Could really do with pianos. The stage room was already populated by stallions. Velvet was out there already, grinding on a grinning stallion.
Aurora made her way to a stripper pole and grabbed it. She slowly knelt down, putting the pole between her breasts. I have no idea where I'm going with this.
Aurora stood up and instead twirled around the pole, a small smile donning her face. She put her back to the pole and moved up and down, winking at a stallion. The stallion in turn motioned her closer. Aurora moved to him, hips swaying. He grinned, holding up a 10$ Buck, "Hey pretty face, lap dance."
Aurora nodded and sat on him, rocking her hips against him. She took the Buck and pressed her chest against him. She got an idea. She purred , stroking his chest. She straddled him and ground her hips against him. Aurora froze, though, when he touched one of her breasts.
This is my job now. Get used to it. She resumed her lap dance as he fondled her breast. A bit too rough. Plus, I think he's drunk. Aurora wanted to finish this lap dance as fast as possible, so she put he cleavage to his face as the finale before retreating back to the stage.
Aurora steadied herself on the pole and brought her bent knee as high as she could. Holding with a death grip, she let herself fall back. Her other arm extended over her head as she looked out at the room in an upside down view.
A stallion caught her eye. He was teal with a spiky light blue mane with gold highlights. He smiled at her and she smiled back. He didn't make any more movements so Aurora made the first move.
Using her free hand, Aurora reached behind her and undid her bra strap. She quickly righted herself, keeping the bra in place with her hand and squatted down in front of the pole. Then, as casually as she could, she let go of the bra, letting it fall down.
Her breasts now exposed, Aurora looked at the stallion. He was reaching into his pocket. Aurora smirked. Got 'em.
Aurora walked as sultry as she could to the stallion. She stopped in front of him, sticking her hips out to the side, "Hey there. What can I do for ya?"
He held up a 50$ Buck, "I'm feeling lonely tonight. Wanna help with that?"
...here we go... Aurora nodded and took his hand. She started to lead him out to the private rooms. However, the closer she got, the more nervous she got.
The stallion noticed, "You alright?"
"Y-yeah...just...it's my first time..."
"Doing this?"
"N-no..."
The stallion's eyebrows raised, "This is your first time ever ?"
"Y-yeah..."Not including my human virginity.
"Well...we'll go slow, alright?"
"You don't have to do that."
The stallion waved his hand, "It's alright. Just go at your own pace."
Aurora stayed silent as they reached the room but nodded. She took in a breath and went inside.
Hoo boy...This was nerve wracking. I have no idea how to even start. I mean, if this was romantic, we'd go with the flow. But this wasn't romantic. It was prostitution. Do I just...grab his dick?"
I turned to him, blushing, "Um...how do we start?"
"A blowjob would be nice."
A blowjob. Here's to hoping I don't choke, "Alright..."
I timidly stepped to him and knelt down so I was eye-level to his crotch. There was already a bulge. I breathed in a breath and let it out before reaching for his belt. I easily undid it and slid down his pants, taking his underwear with them. His dick sprang out, almost hitting me in the nose.
Something did hit me in the nose, though. His musk. I blushed harder as I blinked. Wow...fuck...that's....goood. My head swam as his scent hit me constantly. It was...hard to think about anything except the shaft of meat in front of me.
My eyes was drawn to it. I really couldn't help but ogle at it. It was a foot in length and what I guessed was two inches in diameter. Mild fear ran through me as I worried about how it would fit inside me. His scent took care of that, actually making me heat up down at my crotch.
It was...I can't really describe it. It was just so good . And his balls. Good God, his balls were the size of oranges, "When...was the last...time you...came?" The musk was so heavy that I found it hard to talk.
"A month or two."
Oh God . My feelings about that were mixed. On one hand, I was scared at how much he would produce. On the other, I was insanely curious about how much he would put out.
I...fuck...I needed it. I grabbed the throbbing shaft and leaned inward. I ran my tongue a few inches under his cock. Oooh shiiit...
It was musky, salty, and really good. I let out a quiet moan, shuddering. I think...
I needed more.
I inched even closer, sticking out my tongue and ran it up the side of his cock. I repeated this while slowly moving to his head. When I reached it, I flattened my tongue against it. I flicked my muscle up, causing him to grunt. I lapped at his head again, getting rewarded with pre-cum. I liked that.
Eventually, I grew more and more horny and felt more and more bold. I wrapped my lips around his dickhead and suckled on it. I poked the area around his urethra with my tongue before moving it to the bottom of the dickmeat.
I slowly took more of it into my mouth, trying my best not to let my teeth touch it. I shifted my hips around, trying to please myself by rubbing my vulva on my thighs. My hands were to busy to tend to myself, one of them stroked his cock as the other fondled his balls.
Oh God, his balls felt so full . They were so heavy. With cum...I...I needed to taste his. The tip of his dick hit the back of my throat, forcing myself to stop my progress. I was almost at the medial ring, that raised fleshy ring just barely touching my lips.
I pulled my head back and slowly slid forward again. I was salivating hard now, swallowing what I could down. The dick made it taste better. I stopped when the back of his flare hit my lips. I moved back down and picked up speed. The stallion, I never got his name but was too horny to care, grunted.
I really wanted that medial ring inside my mouth. My eyes narrowed as I felt the cock reach the back of my throat again. This time I pushed forward as much as I could. My throat didn't want to take any more, but that wasn't up for discussion.
Lewd choking sounds came from me, making me even more turned on. I was pretty sure my panties were drenched now. I pushed harder, gagging. But I did it. Another inch went in me. The medial ring went inside past my lips. My eyes were tearing up as I held it there before the need for air made its presence known.
I pulled back to breathe in more musky air before I really bobbed my head up and down. There was a lot saliva now, and with dick in my mouth most of the time, I couldn't swallow now. Thus, spit dribbled down my chin and onto my breasts. Being as horny as I was, I took my hand off his shaft and smeared it over my chest.
In addition to the ridiculously hot slurping sounds I was making, I was aware the stallion was breathing was harder. His shaft, too, was throbbing more and harder. He was going to cum soon.
Really soon, as it turned out. Way too soon and without warning. My eyes widened as the dick, currently at the back of my throat, erupted. Rope after rope of stringy cum went down my throat. I dutifully swallowed as much as I could. I wanted to.
But, my stomach quickly felt full and I decided I couldn't hold any more. Thankfully, he was almost done. I pulled the dick out of my mouth while it still continued to cum. Around five full shots hit my face. It was everywhere, and there was so much of it!
It ran down one of my eyes, forcing me to close it. A rope landed on my nose, coating it with dripping semen, "Guh!"
The stallion sighed in content as the last shot splattered against my face. I moaned as it dripped off the curves of my head. I swallowed cum and excess saliva, shuddering. Good God, I think I love this job now. And I'm pretty sure it was only going to get better.
I staggered up and went to a towel that was hanging on a wall. I wiped the cum off of my face; Didn't want to be messy when I came back out to the stage area.
"Damn...that was great," I heard the stallion say.
I dumbly nodded, quietly burping. I was really hot down there now, my privates begging me to touch them. I heard rustling and looked to see the stallion taking off the rest of his clothes. He grinned at me, "So...ready for the next part?"
God, yes ! I nodded fervently and took off my panties. I had been right. I was drenched , "You...can be on top."
The stallion grinned wider and nodded. I went to the bed and laid down. I spread my legs as he moved and leaned over me. I bit my lip as the tip pushed against my entrance, "G-go slow, please?"
"Okay," he said before slowly inserting himself into me.
Oooooohhhhh Gooooooddd...I...I never used anything else besides my fingers when I masturbated here in Equestria, so this was a new feeling to me. A good feeling. I felt...full. Down there...like...I can't explain it...but it was amazing ! He stretched me, and it felt so good!
I let out a loud moan as he bottomed out inside of me. I let out another as he withdrew, my walls begging to be stuffed again. They got their wish as the stallion slowly to thrust in and out. I was quivering now, panting hard. God, was I going to cum already?
"F-faster!" I managed to moan out. The stallion did so, and it felt even better .
My orgasm hit me without warning. My eyes rolled back as my whole body shook. I felt my walls clench down on his cock, trying to get cum out of him. My mind stopped thinking about anything for a moments as the wall of pleasure that started at my pussy hit my head.
When I recovered, the stallion was really rutting me. Wet slaps filled the air as he thrusted in and out at breakneck speed. Already, I felt my second orgasm approaching. He was, too, I'd imagine. He grabbed one of my tits, making me squirm.
He suddenly switched to hard, slow thrusts. His cock stroked my clit perfectly, "Ah! Ah! Ahh! Ohh! Ohgod! I'm cumming!"
And so did he. And by God, it was the most wonderful thing I've ever felt. It was so warm. I groaned in bliss as he pulsed out stringy ropes of cum. At that point, I didn't care if I had took the potion or not, in my lust-fogged mind I would have gladly bear his foals. He pulled out, putting a few more strings on my belly before his cumming slowed to a stop.
We just stayed there, panting. He was the first one to move. He moved to his clothes and started to get dressed, "Thanks for that."
"Guah..." was all I could manage to say, still in that wonderful afterglow. He tossed another Buck on the bed next to me before leaving.
Eventually Aurora recovered enough to see how much the Buck was. 20$. She laid there for a few more moments before getting up. There was a shower in the private room, which she used. On the counter in the shower room was a box.
Aurora picked it up. The words 'CUM-B-GONE' was presented proudly on the box. Wat.
She turned it over to the back side and read. It was apparently a enchanted crystal that one could put in themselves. The crystal would evaporate the semen inside the mare. ...oookaaay...
Aurora shrugged and pulled one out. She inserted it into herself. He vagina suddenly felt tingly. Not uncomfortable, but not exactly pleasant either.
She got dressed and went out of the private room. She went to the stage and resumed dancing.
The sun was starting to set when Aurora left The Diamond Pole. She had made 147$ in tips. She didn't do anymore sexual services besides one private dance. Aurora was tired, though, and hungry.
She quickly went home and ate dinner. As soon as she did that she went to bed, actually excited for work for once.
The Diamond Pole Chronicles
Chapter 4: Thunder Charge
Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter. The Diamond Pole Chronicles
Aurora slept in the next day. She got up at 9:39, according to her phone. She stretched, yawning. Clubbing. Haven't done that since I was a human. Lol.
She ate breakfast, but didn't play any games. No, she needed to think. How the hell am I going to tell my parents?
Her best bet was to buy a webcam for her laptop. She would then create a Skype account and send her dad an invitation. She would then wing it from there, using her phone as further proof if needed.
As for her friends, she would go back on Steam. She would do the same process from there.
She still had some time to kill, but didn't feel like playing any games at that moment. Gotta listen to some actual music. Still don't really like EDM. She decided to listen to a piano cover of Halo 4's Arrival.
She sat there thinking until it was time to head out. Clad in her preferred get-up, a T-shirt and cargo pants, she went out of her apartment and headed to The Diamond Pole where she would meet her new friends. Are they really my friends? I barely know them.
The sun was begining to set by the time she arrived. Sapphire and Emerald were already there. Velvet was missing, "Where's Velvet?" asked Aurora.
"She called in sick," said Emerald.
"Oh."
Sapphire grinned, "Ready to hit the club?"
"I guess."
"You are old enough to drink, right?"
Aurora rolled her eyes, "Yeah, I am."
"Alright, let's go then!"
Aurora followed them, a grinning Sapphire leading the way. It was then a thought occurred to Aurora, "Hey, you have phone numbers?"
Sapphire looked back at her, "Are...you hitting on us?"
Aurora blinked, "Uh...no...Just wanted a way that we could talk to each other."
"Ohhh...cuz I was gonna say, at least buy us dinner before getting into our pants."
Aurora gaped at her, blushing, "I'm not...that's...it's not like that! Jesus..."
"Aw, I'm just joking with ya!"
"Hilarious joke..." Aurora grumbled.
Emerald glanced at Aurora, "Uh...do...do you swing that way?"
"N-no...I mean...I dunno. Haven't had sex with a mare before..."
"Oh...Um...what's 'Jesus'?"
Shit, I fucked up, "Uhhhh....just a...uhm...random exclamation I made up..."
"Oh, okay."
"If you two lovebirds are done talking," Aurora and Emerald blushed as Sapphire continued, "We're here."
Aurora's ears twitched. The heavy dubstep could be heard outside. Oh boy...dubstep...looovely...
The bouncer let them in after checking their IDs. Aurora made a note to thank Celestia again for creating hers. Aurora's ears flattened in protest to the music. The club was busy, ponies populating almost every place. Aurora looked at the unicorn at the DJ booth. That's definitely Vinyl Scratch.
"Dang, this place is busy!" yelled Sapphire over the music.
"I'm gonna go fucking deaf!"
"You're gonna die?!"
"No! Deaf! Deaff !"
"Oh!"
Emerald went next Aurora's ear, "Hey...you want to dance?"
Aurora blinked. Dance? "Uh, sure!"
Emerald grabbed her wrist and led her to the dance floor. Aurora had second thoughts by now. Don't know how to dance to this music...
Emerald noticed and smiled at the grey mare, "Just follow my lead!"
She moved her hips to the beat and Aurora awkwardly tried to match them. More than once Aurora noticed Emerald accidentally bumping into her. Guess she's just as bad as me...
Sapphire, meanwhile, went to the bar. She ordered three drinks and waited. Eventually Aurora and Emerald had their fill, Aurora slightly sweaty while Emerald was blushing lightly. They sat down next to the blue mare. Sapphire passed Aurora a beer.
Aurora took it and took a gulp. She immediately regretted it, coughing at how strong the alcohol was, "Caugh, fuck ! This shit's strong!"
Emerald and Sapphire blinked, "It is?" said Sapphire.
Emerald took a big sip, "It's not that strong to me."
"G-go-gosh , that's has to be the strongest beer I've ever had!"
"You're kidding, right?" said Sapphire, "It's just Buck Light."
Aurora was too busy recovering to laugh at the pun, "Are you telling me you drink this easily?!"
"Uhh," said Emerald, "Yyyeaahh?"
Aurora was already feeling a bit buzzed, "Just...fuck..."
"Wow, you sure do cuss a lot, huh?" said Sapphire, "What kind of beer are you drinking. This is like, average."
"I...ugh...I don't come from around here."
"Where do you come from?" asked Emerald.
Aurora froze, "Uhm...far away..."
"You're foreign? You sure don't sound like it," said Sapphire.
"L-let's drop it, okay?" Aurora took a sip this time. Probably shouldn't drink all of this...
But, as Aurora noticed, the drink was surprisingly sweet for beer. Almost like hard soda, except not as carbonated. Due to the sweet taste, Aurora found it hard to stop.
Slowly but surely, the drink was drank, and Aurora got more and more drunk. She giggled, "Y-you know...itsh not that shtrong...Gimme 'nother!"
The bartender looked at Aurora's friends. Sapphire just shrugged and the bartender poured her another drink. Aurora took a gulp, slightly swaying, "Alllriiight.....Ish hash ta know....wh-whut'sh the biggesht c-hic!-cock ya ever took?"
Sapphire and Emerald's eyes widened. The bartender wisely went away. Emerald blushed, "I-I don't think we should talk about that here?"
"Aww..."
Sapphire leaned over to Emerald, "I don't think she can hold her liquor."
"Should we take her home- Oh Luna!"
Aurora had downed her own drink and had grabbed Sapphire's. Before Sapphire or Emerald could react, she downed the half-glass. Aurora slammed the glass on the bar, lightly cracking the glass. She hiccuped, "'NOTHER!"
"Uh, I don't think you should drink anymore..."
"B-bullshhiiit!! Ish bet Ish c-can out drink ya!!!"
Aurora suddenly froze, "Bathroom!"
She stumbled up and away before the other mares could stop her. Sapphire looked at Emerald, "What the fuck just happened?"
Emerald could only shrug.
Aurora hiccuped as she stumbled into the bathroom. She blinked, "Wh-whysh a uri-HIC-urinal in the filliesh room?"
Aurora shrugged. Nature called. She unzipped and lifted her leg to get a better angle. A bathroom stall opened and a stallion walked up. He froze at the sight of Aurora relieving herself. Aurora hiccuped and looked at him. She stared at him for a few moments.
Realization hit her, "Ohhh...Ish in the wrong bathroom!"
Aurora laughed, "Shhorry!!" she said before stopping her peeing. She zipped up and gave a wave at the stunned stallion, "B-bye bye!!"
Aurora stumbled out of the bathroom, making the stallion wonder if trying to get a job here was a mistake.
Aurora came back, giggling. The other two glanced at each other, "What's so funny?" said Emerald.
""I-HIC-Ish peed in the wrong bathroooooom! Hah hah hah!"
"Oookayy, time for you to go home!" said Sapphire.
Aurora frowned , "B-but Ish dun wanna go home!"
"Aurora, you're tired, right?" started Emerald, horn glowing.
"Ish...no I'm not!"
"Yes you are."
"I...maybe...Ish..ookayy." Aurora's eyes drooped.
Sapphire stared at Emerald. Did she just cast a sleeping spell....well...whatever works...
Emerald helped steady Aurora, "Let's get you home, alright?"
"Ooookaaaayyy..."
Sapphire paid for the drinks and they both helped Aurora out the door and to her apartment. By then, Aurora somewhat recovered. She thanked them and closed the door.
Sapphire and Emerald stared at the door before leaving, "That...was weird," said Sapphire.
"She really can't hold her liquor," said Emerald. She bit her lip, "You think...you think she's okay?"
"Yeah, she'll be fine. Hungover, but fine."
"..." Emerald stayed silent, "...I gotta check. I just have this feeling that she needs somepony now...I'll see you later, Sapphire."
Sapphire raised an eyebrow but shrugged, "Do whatever you want. I'm going home."
Emerald turned around and went back to Aurora's apartment. She found the door unlocked and went inside. It was dark inside. Guess she's fine.
That's when Emerald heard something. The dark purple unicorn strained her ears. It was crying. Emerald moved through the darkened living room to find light coming from a hallway. She moved to the semi-closed door and looked inside.
Aurora was sitting on the bed, hugging her legs and sobbing, "M-mom...D-dad...I miss you..."
Aurora gave another sob as Emerald's heart broke. She gently opened the door and spoke quietly, "Aurora?"
Aurora froze and looked up, "E-Emerald?"
Emerald quietly entered the room and sat down next to the grey mare, "What's wrong?"
"..." Aurora sniffed, "...It's nothing. Really."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah..."
Emerald pursed her lips and looked at Aurora closer. Her eyes were puffy and red but were drooping, "Why don't you go to bed?"
"...alright." Aurora weakly agreed. Emerald helped her into bed and shut off the light. She closed the door and started to leave before stopping.
...I should probably stay here to make sure she's alright. Emerald looked around and saw a small couch. That'll work.
Emerald set her alarm early and curled up to warm up. She drifted to sleep, her last thoughts were on how miserable Aurora sounded.
Author's Note
When a pony gets drunk, it only lasts a short time. There is this 'calm' period where they gain sobriety before being struck with the hangover.
