Ripening Apples

Apple Bloom walked around Ponyville with a happily expectant smile on her face. She had turned 20 just last week and had developed nicely in more ways than one, namely her now shapely breasts that were somewhere between a D and C.
Today though, she was now going about surveying the local population while wearing a blouse with enough of the buttons undone so that some of her cleavage could be visible for all to see if they wanted and some standard jean shorts that had some wear and tear to them. Along the way, she saw a few newspapers with a picture of Trenderhoof on the front page with the word "missing" written above it. She rolled her eyes and mentally berated the media for not giving up in light of a fruitless effort (A/N: pun intended). She remembered Applejack saying last week to her that she would need to start assimilating stallions as well and started looking for the perfect subject. After a while, she had finally thought of the perfect stallion to make her first.

She walked up to Ponyville's dance school and waited for the class to get out. The bell then struck 3 and the ponies flooded out of the school as they made their ways to their respective homes. Among them, Tender Taps was the last to emerge as he became nervous when he saw his crush on the far side of the street. After she had helped him to overcome his stage fright and earn his cutie mark, Tender became eternally grateful to her and soon developed a crush on her. Although he still had a bit of apprehensiveness within him as he was never able to find the nerve to ask her out. This time, however, he plucked up courage and made his way over to her. "H-Hey Applebloom. How are you doing today?" Tender asked with a slight shakiness in his voice while stealing a few glances.

Apple Bloom then placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder. "Relax Tender, I'm doing fine. What's got you so nervous all of a sudden?" Apple Bloom then looked at Tender with a genuinely caring smile that allowed Tender to calm down.

After taking a deep breath, Tender spoke again with a bit more confidence. "Okay, listen. I wanted to talk to you about this for a long time, but every time I wanted to say something, you always seemed to be busy with either your friends or your family."

Apple Bloom glanced at the ground in a bit of shame as she looked back to Tender. "Well, I'm sorry that I haven't been available to talk much. If you had just come up to me, I would have found some free time when you could have talked to me."

Tender sighed and replied. "You're right. I guess that's one aspect of my stage fright that can never seem to go away." He shook his head slightly and got back to the topic at hand. "Anyway, I've been thinking about this for a while, but I was...wondering if...you'd-be-my-marefriend!" He spoke those last few words so fast that he was worried that Apple Bloom wouldn't be able to hear him, or worse that she'd turn him down.

Fortunately for the two of them, he was wrong in both assumptions. "Okay, I'll go out with ya." Apple Bloom shrugged with a smile on her face.

"Okay, I figured as much. But I guess it was worth a- what did you say?" Tender snapped his head up and looked at AB with surprise as he tried to contain his excitement.

"I said I'd go out with ya. Truth is, I've actually been eyeing you every chance I got. Great to know that my feelings haven't been... What's that word?" Apple Bloom scratched her head in thought as Tender snapped his fingers in realization.

"You mean unrequited?"

"Yeah, that's it. Un-ree-quite-ed. Anyways, What's say we make this official by goin' on a date? We can meet at the Crusader's clubhouse at my family's orchard for a private picnic if you want." Apple Bloom sauntered slowly towards Tender Taps while snuggling against his arm and letting her breasts rub against his skin.

Tender didn't know what to think about this latest action, but what he did know was that the girl he'd been pining for had finally reciprocated his feelings. "Sure, sounds great, meet you at noon?" His voice had gone shaky again as Apple Bloom moved slowly away from him.

"Sure thing, it's a date." Bloom them moved in and planted a firm kiss on Tender Taps' lips before heading home with an extra spring to emphasize her bouncing breasts, to which Tender shivered in delight.

Saturday came like a freight train a top speed as Tender excitedly packed his snacks for the picnic with Apple Bloom. He decided that he was gonna bring a box of chocolates and a few other sweets that his parents helped him to make. After seeing how close it was to noon, Taps headed out the door in a hurry after saying goodbye to his folks and made his way to the Sweet Apple Acres. "Aw man, I hope Apple Bloom doesn't get mad at me for being late."

Upon arriving at the Apple Homestead, Taps spotted Apple Bloom sitting at the front gate expectantly with a picnic basket in one hand and a thermos in the other. She was also wearing small booty shorts and a tight tank top that expressed her features nicely, perfect for a warm day like today. Upon seeing him, Bloom made her way and greeted him with a hug, pressing her pronounced boobs into his chest and making him blush as a result. "Hey there Taps. Don't worry about runnin' late, I wasn't waiting long." Bloom then took Tap's hand as she led him into the orchard towards the clubhouse. Upon arriving, she then opened the basket that she brought with her, revealing a checkered blanket with apples on it, some apple-cinnamon muffins, and a few veggie sandwiches. Tender Taps looked at the meal hungrily as AB encouraged him to have some.

Taps then decided to ask a question that had been in his mind since Bloom invited him to her clubhouse. "So why do you and the Crusaders still have this clubhouse? Shouldn't you have like an office or something by now?"

Bloom rubbed the back of her head sheepishly. "Well, we're workin' on that. Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo are off goin' around town to find any openings in properties that we can find a place to really get work done. They agreed that Scoots would search around town and Sweetie would do all the talkin'. As for me, I'm making sure that we're still finding ponies to help out." Taps nodded his head understandingly as he went for some of the veggie sandwiches that Apple Bloom had brought. He'd been hungrier than he normally was with how rigorous dance class had been lately.

After a while, the two felt full as Taps laid on the floor and AB went over to open the thermos she had brought. "Here Taps, something to wash down all this food."

Tender Taps took the cup and drank it down greedily. After refilling his cup, he decided to take time to savor the taste of the cider and admire the rich blue coloring. "Wow, Apple Bloom, this cider is really good. How do you give it that blue coloring? I've never seen that before."

Bloom smirked as she moved closer to Taps. So much so, that he now had a clearer view of her ample cleavage, much to his internal delight. "Well, that's a little trade secret in my family. Let's just say that there's a special ingredient that we only include for the 'special' clients."

Before Taps could ask what she meant, he found himself feeling somewhat dizzy, which he assumed was from the amount of food he ate. After a few seconds, he suddenly passed out as Bloom smiled widely.

(One hour later)

Tender Taps had trouble waking up. Not because he was being held down or anything, but because the surface he was sleeping on was extremely soft and comfortable. It felt as if he was stuffed between two comfortable pillows stuffed with marshmallows. As he stirred, he remembered being in the clubhouse with Apple Bloom having a picnic before blacking out like a light. Taps opened his eyes slightly and found his surroundings to be slightly different than what he had remembered. For one, he found himself between two walls of yellow that converged together, forming a crevice dead ahead of him. He tried turning his head for a better look, but with the two walls squishing him, he even found that difficult. He then felt his environment shift slightly as two monoliths came down from above and grabbed hold of him before rising up and pulling him out from between the walls.

With his movements no longer restricted, Taps could now see that he had just been pulled out from between two giant breasts belonging to the girl he had recently confessed his feelings to. Apple Bloom's giant face became the only thing he could see in front of him as he looked around and saw that he was in a bedroom of sorts and that Apple Bloom was now in nothing but a green bra and panties while he was completely stark naked. Once he had been placed onto the bed proper, Tender Taps finally noticed that he had somehow gotten much smaller and was now like a doll in the face of Apple Bloom. He found himself looking around in a panic as Bloom giggled at his reaction. "Hey there cutie, did you have a nice nap? I'm sure your arrangements were A-class if not better." Bloom spoke with a seductive voice as she pressed her breasts together with her arms.

Tender Taps looked up at Apple Bloom with a fearful look in his eyes. "Apple Bloom, what the Tartarus happened to me? How'd I get so small?"

Bloom giggled and picked up Taps again and held him up to her face. "Well long story short, I shrunk you using my family's special cider. We give it to any stallion who catches our eye, so to speak. Although I decided to put something extra in there, that bein' a special sleeping potion that I learned to make from Zecora."

Taps started to regain his bearings as he stole a few glances at his crush's gigantic breasts. "Okay, but why did you shrink me? If you wanted me to come to your room, I would have agreed without any argument."

Bloom laughed and subtly gestured to her chest. "Well, I noticed how you look at my cleavage when you think my back is turned and I figured you'd be the perfect first candidate for my body."

Taps' fear was now replaced with confusion as Apple Bloom explained that any stallion who expresses interest in her body, and even suggests that they stay together forever. She also mentions that her sister Applejack has been doing it for a lot longer. "So that's why. I don't see your sister around much, but it always felt like her butt was getting bigger and bigger every time."

Bloom giggled. "Yeah, that'd be the reason. Except whereas AJ's biggest feature is her ass, my feature seems to be my boobs, which I'm sure you've noticed."

Taps sighed and admitted that he did have a minor fascination with Apple Bloom's breasts. "Although, that does not mean that I judge a girl solely by her breasts. Like I said, you were the first pony to help me out and that was when I-"

Apple Bloom held her pinky finger to Taps' lips, effectively silencing him. "I get it, it's okay. I ain't gonna get mad at that. In fact, I'm happy that you have the chance to be a part of my twins here."

Taps looked on in even more confusion, but with a mix of excitedness thrown in. "A part of them? What do you mean by that?"

Bloom rubbed the back of her head. "Well, here's the thing: whenever we find a stallion that wants to be with us forever, we shrink them down so that we can eat 'em up and then have them become the part of our body they fell in love with in the first place."

Tender's eyes widened to the size of dinner plates. "Wait, so your family actually eats ponies?!"

"Well from what Applejack tells me, it's more absorbing than anything else. We take the stallions into our bodies and ten they actually become a part of us. It's actually pretty cool because in exchange for me getting their muscle mass and flesh, they (and by extension you) get to live a calm and easygoing life inside of me while I handle all your basic needs."

Tender still wasn't sure, but with how Apple Bloom made it sound, he was getting a bit more excited. "Apple Bloom, c-could I s-see your breasts please? Without the bra, I mean."

Apple Bloom smiled and kissed Taps happily with her lips encompassing his entire head and upper torso. She then set him down in the bed and reached behind her back seductively. With a click, her bra fell off and landed right in front of Tender Taps, making him jump in surprise. Bloom then got off the bed and removed her panties as well, making Tender's mouth hang even wider. She knelt in front of Tender, letting her boobs rest of the mattress and beckoning Taps over with a finger.

Tender was filled with excitement and happiness, so much so that he had trouble finding the free will to step forward. However, Apple Bloom's finger was all he needed as he found his legs functioning on autopilot as he embraced her left breast and humped it blindly. This made Apple Bloom moan in delight as she used one hand to press Taps into her boob even harder and the other to massage her unattended boob. Taps then kissed the boob he was on repeatedly and tenderly (A/N: pun not intended).

After a minute, which felt like much longer, Bloom pulled Taps away to see how he was doing. He was still awake, but he found that he was too tired to move as he panted with exhaustion. "Man, that was awesome! If this is the kind of thing that I'm in for then by all means, take me and make me a part of your gorgeous and supple rack Apple Bloom."

AB was surprised to see Taps begging so hard for something like this. But she was happy nonetheless. "Alright then Taps, if this is what you really want. By the way, don't worry about your folks, you can leave them to us. Now I gotta actually put you in my mouth and swallow you if you wanna be absorbed by my body. You cool with that?" Tender nodded excitedly as Apple Bloom shrugged and climbed back onto the bed, causing Tender to stumble a bit before AB grabbed him and held him in her hand. She then lifted him above her head and opened her maw wide. As she lowered him in, Taps became nervous, but he was too happy and content to care in the slightest.

Tender was set on Apple Bloom's tongue and he happily embraced the meaty organ as her mouth slowly closed behind him. She then rolled him around her mouth for a bit before tilting her head back and pushing Tender towards her throat. Tender did not try to resist at all as he was pushed past the throat and into the esophagus where he was massaged as the temperature suddenly increased. He thought that he was melting at first until he realized that he was actually merging with the mare he had grown to love. As this was happening, memories from Apple Bloom's fillyhood started flooding his mind. At first, he was just an outsider looking in, but he soon felt as if he was becoming a part of those memories. No, a part of Apple Bloom herself.

Outside, Apple Bloom relished in the feeling of having another stallion absorbed into her body. She especially found favorable pleasure in her breasts as she felt them grow a bit bigger thanks to Tender. Not only that, but she also felt a small tingle in her nether regions. In total bliss, she reached down with her left hand and rubbed her lower lips with her index and middle fingers while using her right to massage her breasts once again.

Tender suddenly felt a sort of pressure in his chest as his heart started to race and he began to feel even hotter than before. He surmised that AB was pleasuring herself and felt that he should be doing the same. With that in mind, he began to stroke his member fervently as he shouted for Apple Bloom to take him completely.

As Bloom continued to pleasure herself, the feeling in her pussy began to increase as she put together that Tender was just as horny as she was and wanted to release as well. With that, she began to rub faster as she realized that thanks to Tender Taps, she now had much greater speed and endurance than before. She also found that she had a new sense of precision as she was able to touch and stroke all the sensitive areas within her love tunnel in a rapid sequence. It seems that making Tender her first was indeed the right call.

As Tender continued to pleasure himself within Apple Bloom, he felt everything that he had experienced slip away into nothing as his mind was flooded with images of Apple Bloom and her family, as well as her pride in her family's business and livelihood. For the longest time, Taps had been afraid to perform in front of crowds, which then turned into a fear of expressing his feelings for the mare of his dreams. Those fears had no meaning to him now as he felt himself getting closer to Apple Bloom, both figuratively and literally as he felt his body become a part of her already supple breasts. He also felt that pressure from before become greater and greater as he inferred that Bloom was massaging her mammaries as well as her love lips. And he felt all of that pleasure right alongside her.

Soon enough, the two of them both achieved release as Tender now saw himself as a full-fledged part of Apple Bloom's body, allowing her to care for him fully, and Apple Bloom relished in the new addition to her body mass as she rubbed her breasts tenderly. "Thanks so much Tender, I really made the right call in my first stallion. I'm so happy right now and I'm sure that you are too." Bloom then stood back up and put her clothes back on, but had a bit or trouble with her bra as she made a mental not to buy a bigger one before too long. Once she was fully dressed, she made her way to the kitchen for dinner and met Applejack in the kitchen.

"Howdy Sugar-cube, so how was your first stallion?" Applejack raised her eyebrow expectantly as she continued to cook the pasta for dinner.

Apple Bloom sighed happily as she massaged her breasts gently. "He was fantastic. I feel a lot stronger now. Like I can run around the orchard and back before dinner, and have enough in my tanks to go another lap afterwards." Apple Bloom moved from her breasts to her legs as she felt them grow a bit stronger as well and felt very proud of herself.

Applejack smiled proudly at her sister for her first successful assimilation. "Well I'm glad that you had a great time Bloom. Although maybe you should wait till after dinner to take that lap. You'll need the fuel for both you and your little 'addition'." AJ motioned to her sister's breasts as she strained the pasta and poured it back into the pot and added a jar of tomato sauce to it.

Apple Bloom wet into the bathroom to wash up for dinner while making one final check of her breasts. Upon doing so, she went back to the kitchen and took her seat at the dinner table as a plate of marinara pasta was set in front of her. She then wolfed it down within minutes and went back for seconds as her family seemed proud of her and wished her luck in the assimilation of future stallions.
