//-------------------------------------------------------// What Creates Empathy -by Apple Frost- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Meeting Mr. Tall-Dark-and-Handsome //-------------------------------------------------------// Meeting Mr. Tall-Dark-and-Handsome Narrator/Limelight's POV. It started off as a normal afternoon. My brother, Bright Mac and I have finished bucking for this week's harvest, and today it's my turn to sell them in the market. Of course, I have the worst luck when it came to selling. Nopony bothers to look at the apples, let alone buy any. Bright Mac has the best luck, because he's sweet and handsome. Me? Let's just say Applejack inherited her looks from me. Yup. Orange fur coat with white forearms, socks, blaze and underbelly. Freckles to match. Light green eyes. Brown hooves and nails. And blonde mane and tail tied in low ponytails. The only difference is our Cutie Marks and sense of clothing. I bare a Cutie Mark of green apples, instead of red, with a rose in the center. My casual attire consisted of a white tank top under a lace, pastel green blouse. Dark blue khaki pants and a black belt. My Cutie Mark Patch was located on the right hip of my pants. Anywho, it was a quite afternoon in the market, until he showed up. A tall Earth Pony stallion. Stood about 6 foot 3 inches tall. Strong build and handsome features. His fur coat was a dark charcoal color with lighter grey socks, blaze and underbelly. Mane, nails, hooves and tail black as the night sky. Eyes as blue as the sky after a storm. A very handsome stallion indeed. He wore a collared shirt tucked under a pair of beige pants and a black belt. His Cutie Mark Patch on his belt buckle was a red gem cluster. A powerful Cutie Mark, and somehow very familiar... He walked over to my stand and picked up a red ambrosia apple. He sniffed it and smiled, "Ambrosia. Such a rare apple breed." His voice was soft and deep, it sends shivers down my spine. But in a good way. I regained myself and smiled, "Yes. Ambrosia are actually my favorite." The stallion looked at me, "Mine too." He took my hand and bowed, "My name is Stephanite Heliodor Pie." He looked at me with his charming eyes, "May I ask your name?" "L-Limelight." I answered, shyly, "Limelight Suki Ginger." He smiled, "Limelight... What a beautiful name." Then he asked, "Would you like to accompany me for a coffee at SugarCube Corner?" "I would love to." I smiled, then sulked, "But someone has to watch the stand." Then asked, "Maybe tomorrow sounds better?" Stephanite sweetly nodded and nodded, "Tomorrow sounds delightful." However, we started talking and getting to know each other over the stand. It turned out we had very similar taste in music. I live with my brother and mother with my nephew on the farm. Stephanite lives on a rock farm, just outside of Canterlot, with his brother, Igneous Rock Pie, and his wife, Cloudy Quartz, along with their first daughter, Limestone Pie, who has just turned 2. And, apparently, they're welcoming another member of the family. Stephanite explained that his job on the rock farm was to sell gemstones to those who need them. He told my that gemstones hold masses of magical energy that help heal ailments and other problems another pony has. Such as a Rose Quartz is capable of boosting love attractions. Amethysts for protection and boosting positivity. And even Sapphires when discovering what the future holds with the Third Eye Chakra. "That's so interesting." I smiled in intrigue, "I thought gemstones were just ordinary pretty stones." Stephanite chuckled, "Igneous thought the same, but Cloudy showed us what they can really do." "I'd like to know more, Stephanite." I told him. We leaned closer, almost nose to nose, but then Stephanite doubled over in pain. He took a step back and held his mid-section. "Are you alright?" I asked in concern. "I'm okay." He answered, "I... I have to go. I'll see you tomorrow at SugarCube Corner." Then he rushed off, leaving me in slight confusion and concern. I wonder what was that about? Stephanite's POV. I hurried through the market place and out of the town of Ponyville, holding my stomach in pain, as I can feel pressure building up in me like a clogged up faucet. This happens every time my heartbeat increases. Every time I'm in front of something, or someone I like. Why did I have to get this curse? All because I touched the Draconequus statue during Elementary School? They warned me, but did I listen? Oh, no. I had to be the rash one. Well... Now I'm gonna die giving myself something I wish I waited for someone else to. I made my way to an empty clearing in the Everfree Forest. I leaned against a tree and removed my pants and boxers. My cocked sprung free from its prison, hard, hot and throbbing. Better now than never. I reached my hand over my itching member. Tingles shuddered my body. I started stroking me my member from the hilt to the flare. The flare grew with every stroke. Ecstasy and pleasure caused me to moan and stroke faster and squeeze harder, "Oh.... Fuuuck me! Ah.... D-Dah-Damn it! Oh...." After a few seconds, I came and blew an explosion of my cum across the grass, "Hhhuuuggghhh!!!!" Luckily, the cum became vapor as it came into contact with the grass. My member dropped limp and I was free from the pressure. "Why me?" I asked, "Why give me this curse? I did nothing wrong." "That is where you're wrong." The voice from inside my head told me, as I put my pants back on, "They did warn you about the consequences. Now I'm gonna make you do things until the day you day." "But, that means you'll die too." I told the voice. "Wrong again, my young Stephanite." It smiled, "My physical body is still trapped in stone. The only thing that'll be wrong with you is that you'll be releasing my seed through your cock." He chuckled, "Who knows? I might possess you completely and complete the deed in somepony else. How about that mare you like?" "You hurt her and I swear to Luna's mo- Ugh- Nnnngh!" I threatened the voice, but pressure built up again and my cock released cum into my pants. The cum became vapor again. "You will do nothing, unless you want that to happen again. Is that clear?" The voice threatened me. "Clear as phantom quartzes." I answered with a hopeless sigh. What am I going to do? //-------------------------------------------------------// SugarCube Corner //-------------------------------------------------------// SugarCube Corner Narrator/Limelight's POV. I sat in a lonely booth of SugarCube Corner, just listening to everypony's gossip with their friends. Expecting children. Making new friends. Somepony came open with being a fillyfooler (Equestian for Lesbian)? Congrats on them. I sighed and rested my head against my hand, on the table. Until I heard the door's bell rang. I raised my head and it was Stephanite. A smile of relief grew on my face. I was afraid I was gonna get stood up again, like High School. Stephanite saw me and smiled. He made his way to me and took a seat, "Sorry I took so long. I got lost in the market place." I waved my hand and smiled, "It's fine. As long as you got here." "May I take your orders?" Carrot Cake asked, as he walked over to our table. "Chocolate-Mint milkshake with oats, please." Shephanite ordered in a polite tone. Carrot Cake wrote it down and asked me, "And for you, Limelight?" "Same." I smiled, "It's my favorite." Stephanite smiled, "Mine too. What are the chances?" We laughed and Carrot Cake left to make our order. "So... Tell me a bit about yourself, Limelight." Stephanite asked me. "Well... Where do I start?" I asked with a giggle, "I'm from a long line of the Apple Family. My brother is married to a Pear and have a son." "A Pear?" Stephanite gasped, "Aren't the Apples and Pears in feud with each other?" I shook my head, "No. Just in selling competition. That all changed when Buttercup and Bright Mac married and realised the two can work together. You'll catch more flies with honey, than with vinegar." Stephanite nodded, "I suppose that makes sense. A very wise metaphor." Finally, Carrot Cake arrived with our drinks, "Here you go." He put the drinks on the table. "What about you? How did your brother meet your sister-in-law?" I asked, taking a sip from my drink. "Oh. Um...." He rubbed his chin in thought, "Actually Igneous and Cloudy were arranged to be married under a special rock of our family. The Pairing Stone. It picks your soulmate and you remain together. It's kinda weird. But it was family custom." I flinched, "Don't tell me you have to." Stephanite laughed with a sip from his drink, "No. I'm hoping to meet somepony outside of family traditions." "Oh, thank Luna." I sighed relief. Then a blush warmed up my face, as I couldn't help but ask, "Do... Do you... Like me?" Stephanite's eyes widened in surprise and fear, "Wh-Wha-What made you ask that?" I rubbed my eyes, "Well... Apart from my family, you're the only one that been nice to me. Like we're friends." Stephanite's eyes soften, "You... Don't have a lot of friends?" I shook my head, "Hardly. I'm not much of talker and others think I worry more about my family than making friends. Which isn't true. I'm just shy, is all." "Just like me." Stephanite smiled, "I'm shy and other Ponies think that I'm more interested in my gemstones. Gemstones are my job. They don't make friends. Talking does." I nodded, "Exactly." Stephanite and I stared into each other's eyes for a while. It was nice to find a kindred spirit from within a town full of Ponies, who get along with each other. Stephanite and I leaned closer to each other. Closed our eyes and we pressed our lips against each other. Our tongues danced, as our hands embraced each other's faces, from where we can reach. Just then, Stephanite pried away from me and doubled over in pain again. This time, it looked really painful. "Stephanite, what's wrong?" I asked. "It-It's nothing. Just... Another... Ah-fuck... Stomach pain." He tried to answer, but doubled over again. Curious, I looked under the table. I could see something bulging out of Stephanite's pants. And it was growing. I took hold of the tall stallion's hand and took him to the basement of the café. Since I had a part-time job in the café, I had a spare key. I placed a rune of silence onto the door and it started working in seconds. "Wha-What are you doing?" Stephanite asked me, as he walked down the stairs. "Helping you. That's what friends do." I answered. Once walking on the ground, I pushed Stephanite onto the nearby chair and removed his pants and boxers. His cock sprung out of its prison and was already throbbing hot and hard. This must be the source of the stallion's pain. "This is what was troubling you?" I asked. Stephanite looked away and nodded with a sulk, "Yeah, but it happens for a reason." He explained, "I've living with another spirit inside my body. He does things to me that I wish he didn't." "Like this?" I asked. He nodded, "Like this. Most of the time. Sometimes he makes me act irrationally. Play with my emotions. Make me feel what I don't want to feel. But he mostly does this to me." I looked at the throbbing member. There was only one thing I can do, unless he does it himself, which something tells me he hates it. I stuck my tongue out of my mouth and started licking my way up Stephanite's member, gently stroking it as a went, squeezing the medial ring. Stephanite moaned and gasped in pleasure, "Oh! Fuck... Ah! Don't-Ah! Stop, Limelight. Tha-Ah... That feels so good..." I reached his flare and inserted it into my mouth. Stephanite gasped and grabbed my head. I bobbed my head up and down, taking the member deep into my throat. Within about a minute, Stephanite looked at me, "Limelight... I'm-Ah! I'm ready to-Ah! Cum..." I smiled and moaned into his member. He grabbed my head and pushed me toward his hilt, "I'M CUMMMIIIII-UUUNNNNNHHHHGGGG!!!!" I held my breath, as I swallowed every gush of cum down my throat. The funny thing was, as soon as I swallowed, the cum turned into vapor. I removed my head for a breath of air and the vapor exit. Stephanite caught his breath and looked at me with a forlorn look, "I'm sorry. I had to." I shook my head and assured, "No. It's okay. It's what friends do. We help each other. If this spirit's giving you grief, you let me know and I can help you." Stephanite smiled and hugged me. I smiled back and we pressed our lips together once again. //-------------------------------------------------------// Conception of Chaos //-------------------------------------------------------// Conception of Chaos Narrator/Limelight's POV. Stephanite and I have been together for about a few months, since the news that he was living with another spirit interfering with his life. Every time Stephanite started to feel pain or any for of discomfort, I'll always be there to relieve him of his stress. Now, during my time in my room, resting from a hard day's work. I got a text from Stephanite. 'Limelight, Meet me in the clearing in the Everfree Forest. Just under the Castle of the Two Regal Sisters. I've been thinking about you and the spirit's playing up again. I'm having the pains.' I thought for a second and got out of bed. I got dress and made my way to the clearing. The clearing was a cave under the castle. Inside was Stephanite and a glowing crystal tree. It felt like it was slowly weakening. Stephanite looked like he was having trouble keeping himself under control. I sat him down and removed his pants, readying the stallion for another blowjob. But Stephanite stopped me. I looked at him with a raised brow, "Is something wrong?" Stephanite shook his head, "No. You've done so much for me in the past few months we've been together. I believe it's my turn to return the favor." "How?" I asked. Stephanite's POV. Without another word, under the spirit's instructions, I pushed Limelight onto the ground and removed her pants. "What are you doing, Stephanite?" Limelight asked me. "Returning the favor." I answered, "I want to... Have sex with you." Limelight's eyes widened in shock, "Are you sure? What if I end up-" "The cum turns to vapor." I assured her, "What's the worse that can happen?" Limelight thought for a second and nodded, "Alright." She opened her legs, "Fill me up, Stephanite Heliodor Pie." I smiled and grabbed my throbbing, hot, hard shaft, gently guiding it into Limelight's wet passage. Somepony has been working herself up a bit. "Boy... You're so tight, Limelight." I stated, "Are you...?" "Yes, Stephanite. You are my first." She confirmed my question. I nodded in understanding, "Understood. I'll be as gentle as possible." With that, I gently pushed my shaft deeper into Limelight's passage. It got tighter and wetter through every inch, until my flare was able to touch the barrier to her uterus. Limelight gasped. "Pain?" I asked. "No. Just need to get used to you." She answered. She took a few deep breaths, then assured me, "Okay. You can go." I nodded and started thrusting in a slow pace. Limelight started wrapping her arms around me for a good grip. I started quickening my pace a bit more. Limelight hugged closer and pressed her lips with mine. Our tongues danced over dominance, sending moans and gasps of pleasure and ecstasy throughout our bodies. My thrusting quickened and my cock hardened. Limelight's cervix got tighter, milking me. She felt like her climax was coming soon. So was I. Before I could continue, something inside me felt hot and my mind went blank. Limelight's POV. Stephanite stopped thrusting inside me. I looked at him confusion. But, before I could ask or even utter a word, Stephanite picked me up, turned me around, with his cock still inside me, and landed me belly-down. He mounted me, like a timberwolf, and resumed thrusting into me quicker and harder. It was like an animal was having its way with me, but I knew it was Stephanite. Like he said, his cum will turn to vapor. Nothing to worry about. I gasped as I felt something pop inside of me. It felt like a flare. Stephanite was reaching his climax. "I'm... I'm gonna cum..." Stephanite told me. "Don't hold back. Paint my walls." I told him. With that, his thrusting got harder and faster. I could barely hold myself in place. Stephanite held me tightly. We both reached our climaxes and shouted to the heavens, "I'M CUMMIIING--NNNNNNGGGGHHHH!!!!!!!" Stephanite shot ten gushes of his hot seed into my womb, while I soaked his cock with love juices. Spent, both me and the handsome stallion fell to the ground and our eyes fell closed. Narrator's POV. Unaware to Limelight, Stephanite did not fall asleep next to her. He kept his cock inside the mare with glowing red eyes and a smirk on his face. Inside Limelight, something strange was happening. Inside her womb, a lonely egg cell detached from her ovaries and floated through the tube into the white lake of Limelight's womb. Sperm swam around the egg and a few were able to penetrate the cell wall and enter the center of the cell. The cell started to multiply and take form of a baby, ravenette Draconequus. It began to slowly grow inside the womb. The magic of this fusion cause Limelight's stomach to glow and a magic mark appeared on the left side of her stomach. Stephanite smiled and vanished into thin air. //-------------------------------------------------------// The Chaotic Truth //-------------------------------------------------------// The Chaotic Truth Limelight's POV. I woke up to a soft breeze tickling my locks across my muzzle. A gentle smile grew on my face. Last night was one of the best experiences in my life. A bit rough, but still the best. I don't remember much from the night. I turned myself around to see Stephanite, but I found that I was all alone with the crystal tree. Did Stephanite leave? Was this just a one night stand for him? Or did he leave early because of his duties at his family's rock farm? Either way, the sun was shining through the trees of the forest, indicating that it was morning, and I need to get back to the farm. I struggled to get back to my hooves, the best to my ability, but something about me felt heavy. Like I've gained a few pounds, or something. Did I forget my mango milkshake yesterday? No, I don't believe so. Curious, I looked myself over. To my surprise, my stomach had a small bump. I stroked it and it glowed violet in response. I'm not sure how, but I think something was inside me. A Parasprite? No, it's a bit too big to be a Parasprite. In a panic, I got myself dressed and followed the path out of the forest, back home to Sweet Apple Acres. My brother, Bright Mac, saw me running down the field. I threw my arms around him. Bright Mac hugged me back and noticed my shaking. "Lil Sis, what's wrong?" He asked me, "Yer sweating bucket and trembling worse than sugarcane during first frost. I pried myself from him, "You remember my coltfriend, Stephanite?" He nodded, "He's gone and I think I made the biggest mistake of my life." "Whadyah mean?" He asked, tilting his head in confusion. Embarrassed and ashamed, I lifted my shirt to show my big brother the bump in my stomach. Curious, Bright Mac placed his hand over it and leaned his ear close to it. I felt the thing move and kick into Bright Mac's hand. Bright Mac's eyes widened, "This is not possible. You're a virgin, and yet it's solid as if you've had it for a few weeks." "What? What's wrong with me?" I asked, starting to feel the anxiety of panic rising again. "Limelight Suki Ginger, you're pregnant." He told me. Shock, panic, disbelief and complete regret filled me to my very core. Pregnant? But, I only had sex last night, and I'm already growing a baby inside me? How is this possible? Why me? What am I gonna do with it? Bright Mac put his hands over mine and looked at me dead in the eyes, "Calm down, Lil Sis. We'll get to the bottom of this, alright?" I took a breath and nodded, "Where do we start?" "Ah believe we go to Stephanite's home 'n' get some answers." He answered, then asked me, "Do ya know anythin' about him, other than his name?" I rubbed my chin in thought, "He said his family owns a rock farm just outside of Canterlot. His brother, Igneous Rock Pie, must know where Stephanite is now." Bright Mac clapped his hands with a smile, "Great. We'll start there." With that, Granny Smith, Bright Mac and I took the train to the Rock Farm. The farm was much like the rest of Equestria, which was green and full of magical life. The Rock Farm looked similar to Sweet Apple Acres, but the place was very grey and gloomy. Rocks of all shapes and sizes covered the land. Instead of a large, colorful house and a matching barn, the house was small and the barn was tall and small. Very much the opposite of the Apple Farm. Exiting the house was a family of a tall Earth Pony stallion, an Earth Pony mare and two young Earth Pony fillies. The stallion stood about a few inches shorter than my brother, which was about 5 foot 11 inches. His fur coat was a golden amber color with a grey-ish white blaze, socks and underbelly. His hooves were a dark brown color. Eyes are a light amber color. And his dark grey and light grey striped mane was short and spiky with mutton chops and a matching tail. He wore a white colored shirt under a black vest and dark beige pants. He bared his Cutie Mark Patch of a pickaxe on the left hip of his vest. The mare was the same height as me. Her fur coat was a light grey-ish blue with light blue socks and underbelly. Dark blue hooves. Dark blue-ish grey mane tied in a bun, matching flowing tail. Her eyes were a light blue color. She wore a Victorian dress with a white apron. A pair of spectacles hanging from her muzzle and connected to a chain around her neck. And a black collar with an opal pendant. The fillies were very different from each other. The eldest filly was looking at my family with a protective glare. And the second filly was too deadpan. Like she's never experienced emotions before. "Welcome to our abode." The stallion greeted with a bow, "I am called Igneous Rock Pie, son of Feldspar Granite Pie." The mare nodded and bowed with her husband, "Thou shalt know me as Cloudy Quartz." "May Providence favor thee well, and to thou comfort our humble homestead bring." Igneous finished with a kiss to my hand. Such a gentlecolt... Mama Smith was having trouble understanding, "Y'all gabbin' with words real funny-like." She tilted her head and cleaned her ear, "Wh-wh-what'd you say them names were? 'Iggy'?" Then she smiled at Cloudy Quartz, "And I'm just gonna call you 'Big Mama Q'!" Igneous and Cloudy looked at each other in uncertainty. "Please, forgive our Ma." Bright Mac apologised, "We're actually here to ask yah a few questions." "Of course." Igneous smiled, "Please, ask away." "Are familiar with the name 'Stephanite Heliodor Pie'?" I asked. Igneous' smile quickly and his eyes widened. His face turned forlorn, Cloudy Quartz looked at her husband in concern. "There was a stallion under that name." Igneous answered, "He was my younger brother." "Was?" Mama Smith repeated with a tilted head. "Stephanite died when we were just colts." Igneous explained sadly, "He saved me one day, pushing me out of the way when Holder's Boulder fell from its nesting place." "Stephanite Heliodor Pie was not his real name." Cloudy continued, when Igneous held back tears. "What was his name?" I asked softly. "Stephanite Howlite Pie." She answered. My eyes widened in disbelief and I was lost for words. I was tricked by someone else? But, he felt so real and real charming. If this Stephanite was dead since he was a colt, then who's the father of the baby that's growing inside me?
