Ah, Cloudsdale. A peaceful jewel of a city where only Pegasus ponies could reach, the sky. Every now and then, Rainbow Dash liked to take a little leave from Ponyville to relax in the sky. It wasn't like she didn't enjoy spending time with her friends or anything, it was just that she felt like going up high sometimes. While she could have stayed with her parents for a couple of days, she had a feeling like it would've been better to relax in a hotel room for such a time instead. If anything, it was a good way for her to feel like she was really relaxing.
"This is the life" Rainbow sighed peacefully as she lay sprawled out on the comfortable, fluffy bed. Her hotel room itself was pretty good, but nothing compared to her house. Oh, her house was the perfect little castle for her and she knew it, but this was...okay, at least as far as comfort was concerned. "May as well get in a good workout while I'm here, the machines at the gym here are perfect" she then muttered to herself as she got up, thinking about the gym a little bit more.
While she got herself dressed in a tight sports bra and black shorts, she wondered to herself if the gym had changed any since she last visited it. It more than likely didn't, but that wasn't really a bad thing for her. The machines in Cloudsdale were made to cater specifically to pegasus ponies. Better than the gym at Ponyville by a mile, seeing as how it was designed with all three different races in mind. Oh well, just another good reason to spend some time up in the sky.
After getting dressed and readying the various things she'd need in a bag, Rainbow soon headed off towards the gym. Along the path, she was greeted by a fair few ponies here and there. Not really an adoring public, but a pleasant series of friendly pegasi that liked to talk or were just generally happy to be alive. In any case, she was able to reach the gym pretty easily, stepping inside and signing in to do a few sets without any trouble. There wasn't necessarily any kind of membership required, or at least, there wasn't for some pony like Rainbow Dash. Her wings already flared out at the sound of the various machines going in the distance. She opened up the door and found herself shocked at who she saw on the other side.
Lightning Dust. The former Wonderbolt trainee that had pushed Rainbow to new heights, but nearly gotten her friends killed in the process. She was currently doing chin-ups when she looked down and managed to spot the prismatic pegasus. She just held herself there for about thirty seconds, drinking in the fact that this was happening. This was seriously a reunion of the two pegasi as they just stared at each other. They looked away for a little bit, the silence and awkwardness blatantly obvious to the entire building before they broke line of sight and Rainbow headed off to a different section of the gym entirely. Lightning herself just sighed and mentally lamented not saying anything.
'How is she here? Why is she here? Ugh, great, now I have to work out with that maniac in here' Rainbow had thought to herself as she found a treadmill that wasn't being used by anyone. She stepped onto it and then started it up on a fairly low speed to warm up a little. The last time she had heard of her was....Actually, come to think of it, Rainbow hadn't seen or heard anything about Lightning Dust in the year or two that she had been gone. She just vanished for a while, which actually was pretty good for her sake, considering that she didn't feel like getting into any trouble.
On the opposite end of the gym, Lightning Dust had settled down on the cloudy floor of the gym and started doing some careful stretches. She had also worn a tight sports bra, but her choice of stretchy jogging pants made her a little bit different. Her tail swayed about as she flexed her wings, keeping limber, loose, and she thought of a rubber goose for no explainable reason. Lightning shook her head, sighing to herself before she went over to an exercise bike and started to pedal on it. If she was going to stay here, she may as well get something out of it.
Getting back to Dash, she managed to start feeling better after a few mindless minutes of running on a treadmill, her wings tucked back behind her as she needed to remain focused. She had much better things to do right now than worry about some wannabe Wonderbolt showing up here.....Of course, then she stopped and thought about how she hadn't really showed up as much as Lightning had simply been there from the start, and Rainbow would technically be the one to show up out of nowhere. Frustrated with that, Rainbow had turned up the speed setting of the treadmill to a much higher level, pushing herself harder without even really thinking about it. She just needed something to take her mind off of Lightning Dust being there.
It was a solid hour by the time Rainbow Dash had finally stopped herself on the treadmill. She was panting like crazy when she'd finally stopped, but was horribly sweaty afterwards. She grabbed hold of her water bottle and started to suck down the contents as if she hadn't drank anything in a month, draining it dry of everything inside before leaning against the treadmill for a moment. She desperately sucked in air and breathed as deeply as possible, her need to breath overwhelming anything else that she could possibly do at the moment.
Off in the distance, Lightning Dust was just refilling her own water bottle at the nearby fountain and looked over, seeing Rainbow Dash and thinking hard to herself about what needed to be done. It had been years since the two had last met and all, so it was probably for the better that she go over and apologize. She had spent all that time alone, thinking to herself about what she was gonna do in life. She wanted to make amends for her previous actions, and the best possible way to do that was just walk over and start a conversation now. She took another glance and saw Rainbow seeming to have a breathing problem, dry-heaving slightly from the amount of pressure she put on herself. This looked like just the right opportunity for her to actually say something.
"Hey there, you look like you need a drink" a random stallion said as he approached Rainbow Dash, a smug little smile on his face as he looked over her sweat-soaked form. Her coat seemed to have even matted itself down slightly from how sweaty she had gotten.
"Not....interested....in you...." Rainbow panted as she slowly started regaining her breath. Dust saw the hole thing go down and found herself surprised that something would even happen. She only turned her attention away for about as long anyway, but felt surprised to see that. The stallion just shrugged his shoulders and moved on, thankfully knowing better than to try anything else on someone clearly not interested.
Swallowing slightly, Dust forced herself to fly right over towards Dash, offering her recently-filled water bottle with her expression very carefully chosen.
"Seems like he's the only thirsty one around here, am I right?" she greeted awkwardly, trying to find something to justify her process. Rainbow turned around and looked at her carefully. She thought about things and just sighed as deeply as she could, taking the offered bottle and drinking a little bit out of it. After that, she quickly returned it to Lightning, whom of which looked as though she still had more to say to her.
"Yeah, I hate those kinda guys" Rainbow answered carefully, standing up tall and stretching her back out a little. She stretched her arms and then flexed her wings again, looking back at Lightning for a moment. "Always looking to pick someone up anywhere they go" she then added, thinking that it was just appalling sometimes.
"Mhmm..." Was all Lightning could respond with for a little bit as she started thinking about what else she could possibly say to get on with what she had planned on saying to her. She looked at Rainbow again, spotting the way that her right ear seemed to twitch about. "Hey, can we just...start over? I mean, it's been years, and I've had all this time to think to myself and all" Lightning then tried as Rainbow turned around and looked her in the eye.
"Well...." Rainbow sighed. "Look, what you did at the academy years ago, that's not gonna be easy for you to make up for" Dash didn't even hesitate to say it, she just got it out of the way and pointed out the elephant in the room.
"Yeah, I kinda figured that. I mean, I'm just bad at finding friends and all, I'll bet that you know all about helping ponies with that" Dust then answered, trying to appeal to Rainbow in ways that she knew about. She kept up with the news and all, and Rainbow and her friends tended to turn up in a lot of articles over the last couple of years. Rainbow just folded her arms over her chest and looked at Lightning for a second, trying to find the best words to say to her. Eventually, she just sighed again and nodded her head.
"Alright, I'll give you one chance to make it up to me. But I'm gonna be super strict about it!" Rainbow then told her, looking incredibly serious as she looked the other pegasus in the eye. Lightning nodded her head, her wings fidgeting a little bit in her nervous moment. She didn't know why she felt so nervous right now, but she could only imagine that it had to do with making a good impression.
After a short delay, the two former-rivals then went over to a series of mats on the floor. Rainbow sat down and Lightning held her legs down rather carefully, keeping a good distance away as Rainbow began doing some sit-ups. Lightning counted a lot of them in her head, noting how surprisingly fast Rainbow was doing her reps. Looking down towards her tight stomach, she could easily see how tone her muscles were. Clearly, Rainbow had been keeping up with whatever workout regiment that she was working on for the past couple of years.
"78, 79, 80" Rainbow called out, carefully doing each and every sit-up as she pleased. Lightning had only stopped paying attention for a few minutes and noticed that she had suddenly shot right up as she crunched her abs. A part of her thought that she could stand to crunch every now and again, but it was after the hundredth or so crunch that she noticed Rainbow slowing down. Seems as though her stamina went and dropped a little bit from earlier, but Rainbow seemed to take it surprisingly well as she got up.
"Alright, let's see you do a hundred now" Rainbow smirked. Lightning just returned with a familiar smirk of her own and lied down upon the adjacent mat. Rainbow held down her legs and then Lightning started to do her own crunches as well. She moved substantially slower for a longer amount of time as she worked up a sweat already. Rainbow looked a little bit surprised that she had been holding herself back for as long as she was. If anything, she expected Lightning to be a little bit more intense. That seemed to come soon enough though, as she noticed Lightning begin picking up speed. She was breathing carefully, keeping herself focused and doing her crunched her abs as well. Dash had been keeping track, and in the amount of time it took her to do 60 crunches, Lightning had only done 45. A little bit of a smirk came upon her lips before she thought of something, leaning down.
"What, are you holding back on me? I know you can do better" Dash taunted somewhat, but Lightning just took it as a challenge.
"Aww, how'd you know?" Lightning answered in a teasing tone of her. Right away, she started to really take off, doing crunches at nearly double the speed she had been going at before. Rainbow actually smiled a little bit at that, thinking that this was just....like....old times....Shaking her head at the thoughts, Rainbow kept herself focused and watched Lightning finish off her sit-ups in peace, looking over to Dash with the biggest grin ever.
"Good enough?" she asked, an eyebrow quirked.
"Yeah, I guess so" Rainbow then answered with a smile of her own as she helped the other pegasus stand up. "Guess you've been keeping yourself ready" she then mused.
"Yup. Got a lotta time on my hands and all in recent times, so I focused on keeping my body nice and solid. Who knows, I might even get another chance at being a Wonderbolt after all" Lightning focused as the two pegasi swabbed themselves off of their sweat. They didn't want to leave a ton of sweat all over the gym, after all. The two then got down on the mats, lying down on their fronts before using their wings for a little bit. They glanced at one another and smirked heavily, the two then competing over who could do the most wing-tip pushups. This was gonna be a long workout session.
It was a good half hour since we last joined our heroines. The two of them had been doing push-ups with just their wings for the longest time ever, but amazingly, it took until now before they both dropped, clearly fatigued from all of the effort. They both were panting carefully as they looked at each other, both of them clearly having a good time right now, but the big concern is that they didn't really want to have it end too soon.
"Hey....Wanna go wash it off.....Maybe get a bite?" Lightning then asked rather boldly between her panting, Rainbow just looking a little bit surprised. She never guessed Lightning would do such a thing, but she could only guess what may have brought it on all of a sudden.
"Guess I can try" Rainbow answered, the two of them lying face-up now as they carefully adjusted their arms, their tails actually swiping across one another once or twice. "May as well hit the showers first, spend the rest of the day relaxing" she then mused as they sat up carefully. Both of them could feel their limbs aching somewhat, but they had still had enough energy to grab hold of their bags and head into the locker room.
Rainbow looked at the clock and found that it was already 7PM, amazed that they had both been there for as long as they were. Still, she was actually enjoying herself, so maybe it made a little bit more sense for time to go by in such a way. She shrugged her shoulders and the two had already started to slowly strip naked. They had both made glances at one another's bodies years ago, but things didn't seem to be too different right now. Rainbow still had a surprisingly strong looking back, but still had a little bit of firmness to her ass. Lightning, conversely had a fairly less muscular build, and more like a light hourglass. Her breasts were a full cup size bigger than Rainbow, the latter of whom was fairly small to begin with, and her butt cheeks seemed to be fairly fluffier as well.
After a solid minute of checking each other out, they soon headed down to the showers, looking up ahead to see that a lot of the shower blocks seemed to be full already. They looked and noticed that one was out of order, but the other one seemed to be working fine. The big metal doors made them stand out pretty well against the tiled walls and floors, and the two pegasi looked to each other awkwardly, blushing like mad as they realized what had been left for them.
"Blegh, may as well share this one. I mean, it's not like the others are gonna be finished anytime soon" Rainbow actually said, surprising Lightning by a fair degree as she opened up the door and headed in. Lightning stood there for a few seconds before eventually following her inside. She wasn't sure why her heart had been beating the way that it was, but she didn't try to keep the other pegasus waiting long.
Closing the door behind them, Rainbow took note of the soap, shampoo, and back scrubber on the wall opposite to the shower head. It seemed to be fairly wide as well, easily being big enough for three ponies if it came to it. Much as Rainbow wanted to test that theory right now, there was no way to actually try it without seeming a little bit more...suspicious right now. She and Lightning both had placed her towels on the rack in the distance, sighing to themselves as Lightning started up the water. Of course, she was a little bit shocked at the feeling of it being really cold at first, giving Rainbow a good reason to laugh right now.
"What was that sound?" Rainbow laughed happily, Lightning just making an awkward little blush as she avoided lookin dead at her. She knew that she made a cute sounding yelp when the cold water had hit her all of a sudden, she just refused to admit to it was all.
"I d-don't know what you're talking about" she said as confidently as she could as she turned the water to a hotter setting. Little did she know though, the water wouldn't be the only thing getting hotter in that box. Lightning let out a little sigh as Rainbow stifled the last bit of her laughter for the time being.
"Feels good, I bet" Rainbow mused as she stepped under the shower head as well, thankful that it was surprisingly wide. She guessed that it had to do with how all kinds of figures likely used the showers all the time.
"You tell me" Lightning mused as well, clearly entranced by the water. They spent a good minute or two rinsing themselves carefully before Rainbow carefully went over and grabbed hold of the soap. She kept a careful hold over the bar as she started to lather up her body, happily covering herself in little suds before handing it over to Lightning, whom of which did the same thing to herself. They lathered a little bit longer before carefully rinsing off the suds. Things were going great until Lightning had accidentally gripped the soap too tight, and it flew through the air before awkwardly ricocheting around the room like something out of an old cartoon. The two of them watched it bounce around a few more times before losing track of it, with Rainbow getting punted right in the crotch from behind as she let out a little yelp of her own, sliding down onto her knees with a little grunt.
"Uh....." Lightning mused as she helped the other pegasus up, trying as hard as she could not to laugh at the little show of misfortune. Rainbow held her hand between her legs and winced as she stood up. "Not gonna lie, that was actually really freaking funny" Lightning then started laughing peacefully, Rainbow just glaring somewhat as she tried to cover her tender crotch.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever" Rainbow answered rather gruffly, thinking that it was a little overly convenient that it had happened in the first place. "Look, did it..." Rainbow groaned angrily. "Did it leave a mark or anything" she blushed heavily, unable to believe what she was even saying at a time like this.
"Are you telling me to look at your-"
"JUST DO IT!" Rainbow interrupted, wishing to do something about that grin on Lightning's face. "I don't want it leaving a mark, alright? I don't wanna have to answer any awkward questions later" Rainbow then answered carefully as she held herself against the wall and spreading her legs out a little bit. She even parted her tail a little bit as Lightning could only grin harder now as she leaned down to inspect the damage.
Holding onto Rainbow's tail to keep it out of the way, Lightning was a little bit surprised at how Rainbow's lower lips looked. They weren't bruised or anything by the look of it, but it did manage to give off a feeling of heat that all but blasted her in the face.
"Hey, it's looking good here" Lightning mused rather carefully as she held onto Rainbow's tail a little bit tighter, knowing that the other pegasus was about to cover it up again.
"Alright, now just back off a little bit" Rainbow then told her to do.
"I dunno, it kinda looks purple in this one spot here, maybe I oughta look closer" Lightning mused with a smirk as she rubbed her muzzle against Rainbow's nice ass, making the other pegasus yelp somewhat. "Ooh, looks like I'm not the only one who can make girly little noises" she giggled to herself as she gave the mound of sexual flesh a little lick, making Rainbow yelp a little bit more from the sensitive spot.
"Hey, come on, b-back off already!" Rainbow pleaded as she forcibly turned against the wall, a little bit surprised as Lightning just stood up properly and looked her in the eye,
"Oh come on, I'm just trying to help you recover. Saliva can help heal and all" Lightning chuckled, but took a half-step back as she could already tell Rainbow was ready to either punch or kick her away.
"Look, I'm not saying I don't wanna do this, I'm just saying that I need a little...time to adjust" Rainbow then answered. Lightning put a hand on her hip, raising an eyebrow at her. "Okay, I've been dry a couple of months and haven't really had a lotta time to go on a date in a while either" she admitted with a sigh.
"Alright, let's just do this now and see what happens" Lightning answered as Rainbow just sighed and blushed, nodding her head as the two soon embraced one another under the water. They carefully made out with another, tails and wings both flaring and swaying about as they grabbed hold of each other's asses and started rubbing. Lightning had mostly been trying to take the lead, setting the pace for the two as best as she could, but Rainbow was as rebellious as always and began doing the same, even kneading Lightning's fluffier ass a little bit harder. As she could tell from a sudden bit of non-shower moisture forming on her, it was something that Lightning clearly enjoyed.
Eventually, they both moved their hands up to their backs and started to press deeply into the more sensitive spots where their wings connected to their spines, both of them moaning right away as they had to break away for air, blushing and clenching their eyes shut from the extreme pleasure going into them. They didn't even look at each other before they started sucking face again, not trying to be careful about their voices either. They just wanted to feel each other, to please each other as much as they could while standing in that box.
Rainbow started to grind her chest into Lightning's, their nipples passing and rubbing one another as much as they could as the electrical sensations began flowing through them. Lightning started to get a little bit bold herself and began to rub along Rainbow's pussy, pressing her digits directly into her pretty, pink hole and making Rainbow start moaning even further. Not wanting to be outdone, Rainbow had also started to finger Lightning's hole as well, only putting in two fingers to really make her feel more and more pleasure. The two of them both grit their teeth and leaned their heads back, their teeth clenched and their fingers going crazy around inside each other.
Every few seconds, one of them would lean her head on the shoulder of the other, the two trying so badly to outdo one another as carefully as they could. It wouldn't let up though, and they continued to finger-blast each other until they couldn't even feel their pussies anymore. Motion-blurs formed on their hands as they continued to speed themselves up more and more, really going at it before clenching their legs as tight as they could. They both kissed once again as they came, and judging from the harsh squirting, they both needed this a lot. After that, they both were panting as heavily as possible, clearly having been pushed to the brinks of their limits.
"Okay, yeah, that was really hot" Rainbow admitted, the two of them standing in their panties in the locker room, looking to put something on over their breasts as well. Amazingly, they had been in the shower for a good fifteen minutes afterwards, just trying to clean themselves up a little bit for real.
"Right? I still can't believe that soap went and did that" Lightning chuckled happily, the two of them now having put their bras on, starting to pull up some short pants as well before continuing on.
"Honestly, I gotta say that this was good. Kinda regretted having come in earlier if you can believe it" Rainbow then answered, being honest with her temporary lover.
"Yeah...Sorry about what I did and all. I guess that this was my best chance to make it up to you though, eh?" Lightning smiled peacefully.
"Well, it was a good start. Let's see where we go from here though" Rainbow had answered, both of them having finished getting dressed before heading out of the gym together. "This should be fun" Rainbow mused to herself as she and Lightning signed out and headed out onto the town for something to eat. They did promise on it, after all.
Author's Note
Good thing someone 'accidentally' broke the only other shower available.
