Like Morning Follows Night

Another day, another slew of misdemeanors. They caught a crowd of kids taking part in recreational defacing of public property using spray paint. Four teenagers outside of the high school wanted to voice their opinions using pink and black colors all over the brick outside wall because some teacher gave them all detention. They were loaded up and brought to the station where many of their parents were waiting with stern looks on their faces. Grem gave them the spiel. They were given court dates, restrictions, fines, and a wagging finger. Still, the bat pony liked to make sure that they were also given a chance to improve their lives. She got their contact information and planned to visit them and check in a month or two. The season of winter was closing in. During the day, people were seeing their breath in the air. Frost was gathering on every surface at night and talk of snow was all over the news in a matter of a couple of weeks.

The kids were sent home with their parents and Diamond Sword was in their office, helping Grem fill out the paperwork. It was getting late, so he made sure that it was done promptly as well as properly.

“As bad as it is, I guess it could have been worse.” Diamond said as he finished up the court papers. “They could have decided to put on ski masks and mug the poor mare.”

Grem shrugged and nodded, typing up the incident report on her computer. It wasn’t her favorite part of the job, but at least it wasn’t incarceration.

“I suppose you didn’t need to draw your sword on them or even use your magic.” Grem admitted, and he nodded. “All in all, it could have been a lot worse.”

“Done.” Diamond closed his laptop and stood up, popping his back. She looked up at him with wide eyes and raised an eyebrow.

“Done?” She asked and he was already out of his chair. He started shutting cabinets and getting his stuff gathered together. “Diamond? What do you mean?”

“Done is done, it’s printing off in the legal office and we’re free and clear once you finish yours.” He got his jacket from the back of his chair and went to the water cooler, grabbing his bottle off of his desk on the way to fill it up.

Grem stared at him incredulously. The straight-laced, born prodigy of the royal guards known as Diamond Sword usually took two to three hours to file paperwork. He determined every angle and everything that could possibly go wrong. He was as straight as they came when it came to his duty, and this unicorn before her was now telling her it took him under an hour to file his paperwork. She blinked, but this meant that they could finally get home at a decent hour. She decided not to bring it up.

“You got plans tonight?” Grem asked, signing the paper she was writing and putting it in the file folder, and placing it in her outbox. “You seem to be in a hurry.”

“Yeah, I need to get home and get dressed.” He said, taking a long drink of water from his bottle. “The new Red Quill book came out today and the store is closing soon.”

“Oh.” Grem said as she got up from her desk. She went noticeably silent for a moment. The gray bat pony started grabbing her things as well.

“Do you have plans tonight?” He asked her and she gave him a look. She shook her head as she walked to the door and walked with him out of the station. They walked to her car and got in. As soon as he got into the car, he pulled out his phone.

Once again, her eyebrow raised at him as he started texting. Diamond didn’t like being part of the populace who stared at their phones. He texted only when he needed to and that was a very rare occasion. A strong believer in face to face communication, Diamond would sooner make a call or wait until he saw the pony again. Yet here he was, typing away, slowly, on his phone. His lack of technological advances made him very clumsy on the touch screen.

Grem took a deep breath and just let it go. She was off tomorrow and she got off relatively early tonight. She figured a dip in the hot tub and a tub of ice cream was all she needed to make the most of her time off. Poor Diamond was not very well versed in the ways of relationships and mares. He had very little prior experience before he met her, so she figured she really shouldn’t give him a whole lot of guff over a single night.

They drove home and said very little. Despite her understanding of his disposition, she still had to shake her head at uncharacteristic way he was acting. It was bizarre that he was suddenly jumping the gun on everything and acting like a full blown weirdo all at once. They got out of the car and walked to him, pulling his arm toward her and stopping him in his tracks.

He turned to face her, surprised. He honestly looked like he was kind of in a hurry. Even with a new book coming out that he had been waiting for, this was just not like him.

“Hey, hold on.” Grem pulled him closer to her and he paused, but then wrapped his arms around her. “I just wanted to say I love you. We haven’t had a whole lot of time to ourselves lately. Are you feeling okay?”

“Yeah, Grem, I’m fine. I promise, it’s just going to be a quick errand, and I’ll be right back, okay?” He gave her a warm smile that she returned. The two of them met in a long, deep kiss. She ran her fingers through his mane and pressed herself close to him. They stayed there in the driveway for a moment and enjoyed the moment. Grem sighed, and kissed him one more time before they started walking to the house.

“I just need to change real quick, alright?” Diamond said as he unlocked the front door and opened the door. “Oh, and by the way, who are these ponies?”

“What?” Grem asked as he turned on the light and the entire living room was illuminated to show a whole crowd of ponies jumping out of various spots.

“SURPRISE!” They all shouted. She was assaulted by a great deal of colored streamers, balloons, cake on a ping pong table, with drinks, chips, presents and smiling faces. Lemon Square, Venue, Final Cut, Winter Solstice, Golden Goal, Disterious, Fable Prose, Quick Bullet, Electric Spark, Sweet Voltage, Pop Candy, Night Moon and Star Burst were all there to greet her.

Grem’s face went slack, her nerves all jumped at the same time as a huge smile crossed her face and she saw them all started walking toward her and waving. They all said their happy birthdays and gave her hugs and kisses.

“Oh, my god! This was-” She started, then looked toward Diamond Sword, who was laughing with the side of his fist over his mouth. “This was you? Really?”

He kept laughing harder, nodding. She laughed with him and they embraced once again.

“Yeah, that guy called us all up.” Spark clarified. “He told us he hadn’t even brought up your birthday for the past month.”

“Yeah, if I did that to Letty, she’d probably kill me.” Fable said from the other side of the room, looking at Letty who shrugged and gave him a little kiss.

“I know Golden would.” Winter said, which Golden confirmed with a smile.

“Hey, baby girl!” Lemon Square came from the side hallway and wrapped her arms around Grem’s hips. They embraced and Grem kissed her on the lips, smiling at her.

“Oh, Lemon, you silly slut, why wouldn’t you tell me?” Grem giggled and Lemon chortled.

“That’s the point of a surprise, you whore.” She kissed her again and they led her into the living room. The stereo came on and they played some music while passing Grem every treat they prepared, which mostly involved presents and drinks.

She opened her presents little by little, getting lingerie, gift baskets, luxury soap, sausage and cheeses, music, and expensive alcohol. She was even given a fully functioning metal axe. Fable admitted that he thought it would be cool for a royal guard to have an axe, even if it’s just on display. Grem laughed at this and gave him a kiss all the same.

The party went into full swing, they all mingled among one another. Grem was commonly greeted with a warm hug and pulled into conversations left and right. She loved the attention and the hugs she was getting. Not to mention the buzz from the various drinks.

Night Moon was one she was acquainted with in the full investigation after the Rich Co. scandal. She met him once again through her friendship with Spark.

“Thanks for coming! Who’s the pegasus?” She motioned toward Star Burst, who was dancing with Winter by the stereo.

“She’s my marefriend. We've been living together for a while now.” He smiled over at Star Burst who blew him a kiss, which he returned.

“Seems weird, I see you at all of the big clubs. How do you DJ so much and still go to the Cloudstone every Friday and Saturday?” Grem asked, taking another long sip of punch.

“I'm a hot commodity right now, I guess. MixiMoon will never go out of style. Can't say I'm too happy to see you in uniform at the club, though.” Night Moon gave her a smug smile.

“Well, stop the senseless assholes and I won't have to break up the party." She smiled right back. “You've seen me in my nightclub gear before. I've danced to your beats in my tube top.” Grem giggled and blushed.

“Yeah, and I saw you with your tube top down.” He recalled when she was dancing so hard her tits popped out right in front of him. She giggled uncontrollably and hid her face a little. “Any chance I could see these ladies again?”

“Yes.” She said before he even finished the sentence. Then she looked down to see she was still in her uniform. It was something of a blue business suit with a black tie and the insignia of the royal guard on the breast pocket of the jacket. She rolled her eyes at it then smiled at him. “I’m gonna go change real fast.”

“I’ll be here.” Moon said as she started for the hallway on the other side of the living room. Star Burst passed her by with a smile and a wave, which she returned. She headed to the master bedroom and opened the door. She took off her jacket and tie immediately, then opened her closet to see what her choices were for attire. As she looked, she stripped down, sliding off everything and taking the things out of her pockets. She threw the dirty clothes in the hamper and took off that same tube top she had at the Cloudstone.

She took her large cupped bra off and went to the mirror to make sure her hair was straight. She had to move fast, wanting to get back to the party as quick as possible so she didn’t miss the festivities. From the mirror, she saw the door open, but it wasn’t Diamond Sword like she expected, it was Sweet Voltage.

The orange unicorn’s eyes widened as she peeked in. Grem turned to her, bare chested with nothing but panties on. Voltage’s eyes widened and she smiled apologetically.

“Oh! Sorry, Grem. I’ll just--” She pointed back out and started sliding back to close the door.

“Voltage! Hi, you’re Spark’s sister, right?” Grem said, walking up to her with very little concern for her own lack of clothing.

“Um, yeah, he was pretty adamant about coming to your party.” She came into the door and shut it behind her. “I’m sorry I missed the game night.”

“Oh, yeah, it was quite the night.” Grem said as she and Voltage shook hands. “We didn’t really get to talk much in Dragon Helm, did we?”

“No, but I have to say, I enjoyed what company we had.” Voltage couldn’t stop gazing at Grem’s chest. She was probably the most well endowed pony she’d ever met, though that made her wonder... “Hey, wait here just a minute.”

Grem tilted her head to the side a little bit as Voltage turned and exited the room. The bat pony blinked as she stood there, her boobs still out with her dark pink nipples in full view. After just a few moments, Voltage came back into the room with Pop Candy in tow. The peach colored unicorn’s eyes widened as she gazed at the very large chested bat pony standing and smiling as she entered.

“What’s this about?” Pop Candy asked, but then Voltage pulled her red shirt up above her chest, showing her bright pink nipples with areolas that almost covered the full front of her tits. “AH! What are you doing?” Pop’s face went completely flush as she turned a glare toward the orange unicorn.

“Just get closer.” Voltage said as she pushed her closer to Grem. Both of the bare chested ponies gazed at her incredulously as she put her hand on Pop’s massive mammary, then put her other on Grem’s gigantic gazongas. She hummed a bit as she studied both closely.

“You know, you could just ask me what my cup size is.” Grem said, and Pop started nodding.

“Yeah, Voltage, mine is--” She was interrupted as Voltage passed her a sudden glare and shushed her. Pop scoffed and looked off to the side as Voltage began picking her breast up a little bit, dipping it up and down to test its weight while she did the same to Grem’s.

“Hey guys, what’s the hold--” Spark walked into the room and saw the three of them. Voltage standing in the middle of Pop and Grem with both of their tits in her hands. There was a long pause as they all stared at Spark. The muscular orange unicorn stallion pursed his lips as he held onto the doorknob and then popped his lips out a bit and waved to them. “Carry on.” He went out to the hallway, closing the door.

“So what’s Grem up to?” Diamond asked, passing Spark by. The orange unicorn followed him back to the living room.

“Girl stuff.” Spark shrugged.

The girls stood there for a moment. Pop passed another sinister glare back at Voltage, causing her to back off of the boobs.

“Thank you.” Pop said quietly as she pulled her shirt back down. “Now, if you don’t mind, I’m going to go back to Letty. I almost got the gender of her baby out of her.” Pop waved to Grem, who waved back. “Happy Birthday.”

“Thank you!” Grem replied as the peach colored unicorn with multicolored hair walked out of the room.

There was a long silence between Grem and Voltage then, aside from a soft snicker from the bat pony as she looked back at Voltage.

“So I was wondering.” Voltage broke the silence. “Since you weren’t there at the game night, did you want to maybe have another Dragon Helm session with me sometime?”

“Oh, I’m always game. We could even play a few rounds of some other games. Did Spark tell you I beat him more than once?” Grem’s grin widened across her face as she stepped closer to Voltage. The unicorn met her half way and got close to her, smelling her feminine musk and liking it.

“Please, I’ve beaten Spark so many times, I practically own his characters without playing with them.” Voltage giggled, as did Grem. “I’m willing to bet the same goes for you.” She pointed her finger and pressed it against the large, gelatinous breast which jiggled at her touch.

To her surprise, Grem pressed her tits up against hers as she puffed out her chest. “Oh yeah?” Grem went into defensive mode and giggled.

“Yeah!” Voltage pulled off her shirt without a bra on and pressed her boobs right back. The sensation of their nipples touching made the two of them quiver and Grem even had to bite back a moan.

“Well, I’ll just have to show you. What say we have a few rounds later on next week?” Grem said as she grabbed both of her own mammaries and started rubbing them against the other mare’s bare chest. Voltage’s breath began to heighten as she moaned in the back of her throat, but responded in kind. She began matching her breast rubs with her own.

“Sounds lovely, I’ll have to get your--nnnn--user name.” Voltage got face to face with her, their muzzles touching as their tits slid against each other. Grem nodded, then spit on both of their tits to make them slide easier with lubrication. Voltage gasped at this, not at all offended, but turned on at the gesture. “You’re kind of a slut, aren’t you?”

“I’m not kind of a slut! I am a huge slut!” Grem stated without any kind of resentment. “I plan on blowing every stallion at this party.”

“Bet!” Voltage said, now pressing her horn along Grem’s forehead. The bat mare pressed more against her.

“Bet!” Grem agreed, then got down on her knees and nearly ripped Voltage’s pants off. Before the unicorn could even react, the gray mare lunged her tongue into her pussy lips, leaning her head back at an angle where her tongue went into her honey hole.

“Oh! God! Grem! I’m not a--AH!--not a stallion!” Despite her words, she pressed her hand onto Grem’s head and pulled her harder against her pussy. The tongue slithered in and out and all around her pink pussy inner lips. Voltage bit her lower lip and rubbed her pussy against Grem’s mouth, gasping for breath. The orange unicorn’s legs were quivering, twitching, making it hard to stand up at all. “Fuck! You’re so good at that!”

Grem pulled her over to the bed and before she could even catch her breath, she went straight for Voltage’s cunt again. She attacked with with gusto, spreading the lips out wide and licking her clitoris directly. Grem was making it swell up a little bit in her mouth as she sucked on it, and even rubbed her teeth against it.

Voltage began moaning two octaves up then squealed, feeling herself cum and leak juices onto Grem’s face. She lied there on her back, her pussy so wet and twitching that it was hard to think about moving. Then she saw the smug look on the bat pony’s face and suddenly her brow furrowed as she glared at the cocky bitch.

“Alright then, if that’s how you want to play it.” Voltage grabbed her by the arm and pulled her onto the bed. Grem yelped in surprise as she got onto the bed on her stomach and Voltage got up onto her knees. The gray bat looked back at the orange mare as she grabbed her ass to pull it up to where she was on all fours.

There was a gleam of yellow light from her horn, and Voltage formed what looked like a large, glowing strap-on around her hips with a huge stallion cock sticking straight forward from her crotch.

Grem’s face went slack as she saw the imposing figure that stood behind her. Voltage’s wild grin didn’t help her state of mind either. The unicorn pulled Grem’s tiny panties to the side of her pussy, exposing it to see that she had already moistened the fabric, and the wetness was spreading down her leg.

“Oh, no! Voltage, I’m sorry!” Grem pleaded and mewled like a pathetic puppy but still held her butt straight up in the air as she saw the pony start to mount.

“Too late for that!” She pushed her newly formed cock into Grem’s dripping quim.

Grem’s face instantly went into the sheets and the mattress and howled as it stretched her. Without warning, Voltage started pumping the bright glowing penis in and out of her. She was unrelenting in her assault, pounding the bat pony’s arrogant pussy without remorse. Grem began to moan with every breath, feel every push, and cry out as she started banging her harder and faster.

“What’s my name?” Voltage asked. When Grem didn’t respond, she swiped a quick slap across the bat pony’s ass, making her yelp once again. “Say my name!”

“Oh! Voltage! Punish me, harder! Faster! Fuck me! Fuck me! Yes!” Grem begged and whimpered as she started pushing back against her. “Spank me again! I’ve been a bad girl! Spank me harder!”

Voltage complied, slapping both of her hands onto that big, jiggling ass. She slapped her butt cheeks until they began to glow with a red hue, then she grasped both of the cheeks and started ramming her cunt!

“I’m gonna--gonna--OH! YES! OH YES! Fuck! YES!” Grem shouted loud as her orgasm ripped through her system. The powerful, magical cock hammered her aching cunt through the climax as she spurted juice between their crotches. Voltage pulled out of her, though. She very rarely did anything like that. Her magic and her physical exertion took its toll after that. The cock disappeared and she leaned forward, her hand on Grem’s red ass cheek.

“I hope,” She continued to pant with heaving breaths. “I hope you learned your lesson.” Voltage looked at the sweaty bat, who looked back toward her.

“No,” Grem chortled. “No, I didn’t.”

They both gave a good laugh, then got up to get dressed.

“No, I highly doubt that there’s going to be a resurrection for the villain in book one.” Fable shook his head and drank from his cup. Diamond Sword drank some of his beer bottle and raised a finger.

“But there’s already a Lich in the story, couldn’t there be a chance that he becomes a Lich in the later books. Perhaps as a main villain in the third book or something?” Diamond reasoned and Fable winced at the idea.

“That just feels like it’s taking a step back. There’s already so much story developing, not to mention those tiny side plots, adding the former villain as a Lich just feels like a step back. Have you started reading the second book?” Fable asked, then looked over to Letty. She was talking to Pop Candy while the peach colored unicorn pressed her ear against Quick Bullet’s pregnant belly.

“I got it this morning and I’ve only read the first chapter so far. Have you read it?” Diamond asked, taking another long drink of his beer.

“Most of it, yeah. I had some time today while Letty was taking her momma pregnancy nap. Believe me, things will become clear on what’s coming in the third book. Just read it as fast as you can, and then we can talk on it.” Fable smiled and Diamond nodded.

“It’s so nice to know another Red Quill fan.” Diamond Sword tapped his cup with his bottle.

“Isn’t it though?” Fable nodded and saw Grem come out of the hallway, much to everyone’s delight.

“Alright, whoever wants another mixed drink better ask now, because I’m about to get on that game.” Venue said from the kitchen counter area. He directed attention over to Winter and Spark who were playing Demon Hoof two player mode.

“Oh, I’ll take one!” Fable said, holding up his plastic cup.

“Me too.” Grem said as well, raising her hands.

“Ladies first.” Both Venue and Fable said at the same time. They laughed and gave each other a high five.

“Just a rum and soda.” Grem said and looked over at Fable. The two of them smiled and pecked each other on the lips. “How are you, Mr. Father of the year?”

“Oh, father of the year. I’m barely considered a father right now. Letty’s doing all of the work at the moment.” Fable smiled as she took her drink from Venue and he made his.

“That’s not true, you’re helping her out a lot, so I’ve heard.” Grem smiled, taking her first drink. “Don’t you massage her back and bring her food?” She said, and he laughed, nodding a little bit. They both got their drinks and Fable looked toward the Demon Hoof game they were playing. Lemon Square had joined in, making it a three way deathmatch now.

“Looks like you and Diamond Sword are doing pretty well too. Are there any kids in your future?” Fable asked as he watch Venue join in on the video game.

“Oh, well, I don’t know. We’ve talked a little bit about it, but not very much at all. We’re still in our first year of the relationship. We’ll see how I feel next year.” Grem said and took a generous drink. She opened her mouth to say more, but then there was a pounding on the door. It wasn’t especially loud, but sounded more like they wanted to be heard over the music.

Grem’s first thought was that it was the neighbors, but how they could hear the music from their house was strange. They weren’t playing that loud of music in the first place. She rolled her eyes and walked toward the door. She signaled to Diamond before he got up that she had it under control.

Grem opened the door to see a short, white furred pony standing at her door with long black hair and spike ear piercings in one ear. She widened her eyes and then smiled big. The look on her face was a bit puzzling. Her arms were crossed over her chest and

“Oh, hey Death Metal! I thought you couldn’t make it!” Grem leaned in for a hug, but the hug wasn’t returned and she stood back. “Is something wrong?”

“Yeah, I need to talk to you.” Death said and motioned for her to shut the door so they could stand outside her house. She did so and walked outside with her closer to the yard on her walkway.

“What is it? Is something wrong with Pearl?” Grem asked, she wasn’t all that well acquainted with Death Metal, but a lot of the ponies at her party wanted her and Pearl to come over anyway so it could be a nice meet and greet along with drinks.

“Yeah, but it ain’t that serious.” Death rolled her eyes, shaking her head. Then she let out a long sigh. “Pearl ain’t happy right now. You know we’re getting married soon, and she has been so fucking busy putting together this wedding. Honestly, I have barely seen her sleep over five hours for the past month. The day is getting close.”

“What’s wrong? Does she need help?” Grem asked, and Death Metal nodded.

“Today was supposed to be her bachelorette party.” Death said and the bat pony gasped, putting a hand to her mouth. She waved her hands at Grem to keep her calm. “You didn’t know, okay? Nobody knew. This was her only day to do it because of her busy schedule. Then she found out your birthday was today. After that, she just threw up her hands. She didn’t want to make a big scene about it, and she didn’t want to ruin your birthday by any means. She just figured we weren’t going to have a party.”

“Oh, my God. That’s terrible.” Grem said, then started looking back toward her house. “Where is she now? How can we get to her?”

“She’s at home. Do you want to--”

“We’re going there now.” Grem said, “Get me some transportation. We have around eight or nine ponies in there, and I’m pretty sure they’re all drunk.” She said, knowing that Letty wasn’t drinking, but also knowing that she wasn’t going to make her drive every single member of the party to and from Pearl’s house.

“Oh… okay then.” Death said, blinking and thinking that was a lot easier than she thought it would be. Grem even came up with a better plan than she had in mind.

Without any hesitation, she hurried back to her house and opened the door. As she got to the living room, she clapped her hands together, getting everyone’s attention.

“Alright, people! Listen up! We’re taking this party on the road!” Grem announced to all of them, getting many mixed faces of both puzzlement and excitement. “Today is supposed to be Pearl’s bachelorette party and she needs all of us.”

“Wait, what?!” Winter exclaimed. “She was having one today? Why didn’t she tell--” He stopped, then looked at the party and then snapped his fingers. “Ooohh, right right.”

“Well then, fuck it!” Spark tossed his controller down. “Let’s take everything that’s not bolted down. You got us some taxis?”

“Death Metal is handling that right now.” Grem said, pointing her thumb toward the front yard.

“Death is here? Holy shit!” Night Moon said with a big smile and hurried to get outside and meet Death Metal in an embrace.

The party started to move, grabbing up bottles of alcohol, putting the cake back in the box and starting to order food. Spark packed up the entertainment system he brought while Winter started picking up the food and putting them in plastic bags.

“So, we’re going to meet Pearl now?” Letty asked and Fable nodded as he walked with her outside. “Wow, I’ve still never met her, this should be exciting.”

“I think you’d like her.” Fable kissed her and they smiled at each other.

“You’ve stuck your dick in her, haven’t you?” Letty suddenly furrowed her brow at him, and he was taken aback by the suddenness of the accusation. She tapped her finger on his snout and then laughed. “I knew it.”

“Um, yeah, it was a very long time ago.” Fable admitted and laughed, rubbing the back of his mane. Then he looked to see some cars approaching in the distance. All of them wore gaped expressions as they saw that all four cars that approached them were luxury vehicles. Each limo had a driver and every driver stepped out of their car to help them with their baggage.

“Holy cow!” Diamond watched as everyone started getting into the cars, and he followed Grem into one. They were more than big enough for eight ponies, with two bench style seats that faced each other. Each seat was equipped with ice and champaign, a fully stocked mini fridge with various drinks and a snack bar compartment.

“Death Metal really hooked this up, didn’t she?” Star Burst said as she got into the limo with Final Cut, who nodded and smiled.

Grem got into the middle limousine with a big smile on her face. She honestly couldn’t believe her luck in this situation. Not only did she get a birthday party, but she was going to meet the most famous pony in the city. Not to mention, she got all of her guests a chance to ride in limousines.

The party went on like it was before. All of them drinking, laughing and talking as they rode in style. Death Metal drove behind them in her black hot rod, feeling quite pleased with herself.
