"...and when I got the letter, I just HAD to say yes."

The lock for Smokey's door clicked as he turned the key. The heavy door swung open as we filed in.

"A chance to perform at one of the highest prestige nightclubs in all of Manehattan? I hadda' accept it."

Smokey floated his beanie off his head onto the stand where it had sat previously to leaving, and set his keys in a bowl near the front door with an audible jangle.

"So that's why you brought us to a club for our outing?" I asked.

"Well, sorta. I had that idea to begin with, but didn't have any reason to bring us. Ya prolly woulda said no." He paused his speech as he took a spot on the left of the couch.

"When I got the offa', that was my reason to bring ya. Glad ya didn't object." He finished.

Since I was following him directly into the apartment, I had next seat choice, and I chose the middle of the 3-pony couch. Jetty seemed to follow me with haste and sat herself to my right, and did not hesitate to slide close. As Berry noticed Jetty's advancement, she puffed air from her nostrils and gave a smirk. This time, she claimed the single seat as her spot. Astro and Dyno were left the loveseat.

Berry took the lapse in conversation to ask something else.

"So how much did they pay you for the gig?"

"Ohhhhhh, I dunno." He gave her a subtle grin. "All I'll tell ya is that I decided to treat myself." He hopped up from his spot and dashed down the hallway, presumably into his bedroom, and came back adorned in a thick, heavy looking gold chain. It was encrusted in diamonds, some white, some rose colored. The diamonds seemed to shimmer even with the littlest light. It was absolutely incredible to look at.

"Holy shit, Smokey! Is that what I saw in the magazine I was reading earlier?" Berry's jaw dropped at the sight of it.

"Indeed."

"THAT CHAIN IS 30,000 BITS!" She exclaimed, with completely justified surprise.

Multiple gasps emanated from the occupants of the room as we were all caught by surprise at the price.

"Pretty sick, huh?" Smokey said as he juggled the adorned piece in a hoof.

"If that is how you 'treated yourself', then can you hire me?" Astro quipped. The room gave a laugh as Smokey took his spot on the couch once again. This lapse in conversation gave me a moment to recall moments of the night. Suddenly, I remembered what I had asked multiple times back at the club.

"Okay, okay guys. We're back here now. Can you PLEASE tell me, what was this 'plan' y'all had?"

"Ahh, yes, I almost forgot to tell you." Berry started. "If it had to start anywhere I'd say maybe a year or so ago, Jetty came up to me after one of our excursions and told me that she really liked you, and-"

"Wait, w-what? You LIKED me? For THAT long?" I turned to Jetty and blushed heavily.

She drooped her head and rub her foreleg anxiously, blushing a bit as well. "Y-yeah. I did. I was too afraid to say anything cause I didn't wanna ruin anything in our friend group. I love the outings just as much as everyone else, and... I didn't want anything to happen."

Feeling slightly bold, I brought her into a hug and rested my head on hers.

"Oh gosh, don't worry Jetty. Nothin' could happen to our trips." I looked into her entranced eyes once more and smiled to reassure her. I released the hug and turned back to face the center of the room.

"Okay," I looked at Berry, "What about tonight then?"

"Well, Smokey wrote me soon before our trip was set, and told me we were going to a club. Though I had no idea he was performing!" She shot a glare at him, mocking being upset at him.

"Anyway, I met with him very early today to set up this plan. When the other three got here I briefed them on the plan, or, at least that was what I was PLANNING to do, but SOMEPONY was late." This time she turned her head to Astro, who smiled sheepishly.

"What? There's a lot of traffic here."

"You have wings, idiot. Fly here faster!"

"You right..."

"From there," She continued, "It was all set in place. We would head to the club, get you and Jetty drunk together, and once dance would lead to another and voila! Worked like a charm." I didn't have much of a reply to what she said. I was mostly stuck in contemplation. "I'm surprise you didn't notice anything suspicious to be honest. How I conveniently had you and Jetty find a booth together, how somepony coincidentally bumped into you to distract you during the peak of the music to give her a chance to move in. How I, out of all ponies, let you two have the final shots. All part of it."

"Now, as for Smokey's weed brownies... that was completely accidental. While yes, they were going to be used in one of Smokey's weird orgy parties or something, it was also meant for Jetty to eat one before we left, so she could get some bucking confidence out there, which she did. You eating one too just made it that much easier for us."

I interrupted her explanation to quench my knowledge. "Jetty, when did you eat one?"

She cleared her throat before answering. "When I said I had to go to the bathroom before we left, I kinda.... scarfed one down real quick."

Berry continued the story. "When we saw you ate one, we knew it was gonna be that much easier. Two ponies lusting for each other both on aphrodisiac weed? Too easy." She waved a hoof in accomplishment.

I felt a lump form in my throat. "I wasn't lusting after her..." I looked away from anypony, shifting on my hooves uncomfortably.

"Oh puh-leez! Like it wasn't obvious? We notice you eyeing her up. And the extra long hugs you always give only her? You've liked her for a while too and you didn't even know it."

I rubbed my foreleg awkwardly too as I felt my ears fold back in embarrassment.

"Not to mention YOU initiated the kiss on the floor back at the club." She added.

"It was Smokey's stupid brownies!" I felt my voice crack slightly as I was really getting riled up, probably more than I should have.

"Hey there Casanova, relax. No need to get angry now." She continued. "What's done is done. You two basically confessed your love to each other. Now, it's time for you two to decide what to do next." She gave a devilish grin, and winked at me. I felt like I wanted to bury myself in a hole and stay there forever. I was probably red as a tomato.

I mean, I guess she's right... I do kinda really enjoy her company. A lot. And she's always been really cute to me. Wow, I really do kinda like her, don't I?

I looked to the clock on the wall, it read 1:31. A perfect scapegoat.

"Haha, welp." I smacked my hooves together. "Getting pretty late huh? We should probably get to bed."

Surprisingly, Smokey stood up and stretched. "Yeah, you're right. I'm off to my room. There's only one otha' bedroom unfortunately. So either ya gotta fix ya'selves on the couches, or some of ya can share the bed." Emphasizing the word 'share', he looked at Jetty and I.

Oh buck you...

"Sounds good. Good night, Smokey." Berry said. A chorus of good nights followed from everypony else.

"Hey guys," Astro chimed in, "Do you mind if I put the TV on while we sleep? I sleep a lot better with some kind of background noise."

"Go ahead." Berry said. "It's the same for me too."

I noticed the remote control closest to me, so I passed it to Astro. The TV lit the newly dim room, since Smokey had turned the lights out in the main room. He flipped through the stations, and eventually stopped on some show I did not recognize.

It wasn't long before most everypony was asleep, besides me. Berry had curled up like a cat in her singular chair, Dyno was resting over the arm of the couch in a way I couldn't really comprehend, and Astro had taken position lying with his head on the armrest, disregarding Dyno's personal space.

I was still sitting, watching whatever re-run of this unknown show was on at this ungodly hour. My eyes felt heavy, and I didn't know how much longer I was going to last. My somewhat-concentration was broken by the feeling of Jetty stirring next to me.

I thought she was asleep already!

I let out a small noise of surprise as I felt her push me over on the couch. I fell onto my back, looking up at her. She slithered her lithe body between my legs and up my barrel, coming face to face with me. My drowsy state and lack of any idea what was going on were probably the reasons why I had not resisted nor questioned anything. I stared back with wide eyes as I watched her watch me. Jetty put her nose to mine as I felt her chest rise and fall shakily. She was clearly nervous about whatever she was going to do. To my surprise, she gave my cheek a small lick, and smiled at me. She was just too adorable to dislike.

My eyes went wide as she planted her lips on mine with a passion similar to that back at the club. I felt a quiet moan leave my throat as my eyes fluttered shut.

She knows there's other ponies here, right???

After a few seconds, she pulled back, smiling profusely. A bit of her mane had fallen in front of her eyes, giving her a slightly disheveled look.

Sweet Celestia, she is so cute...

She leaned back in as if she was going for another kiss, but this time she missed my lips, and nuzzled me instead. She continued her journey down my face by meeting my neck with her lips. She gave my collarbone a lick and started to suckle lightly on it. I tensed really hard at this. So hard in fact, it almost hurt.

As much as I didn't want others to know, I was extremely ticklish. I hated it with a passion. If there was anything I could change, it would be that.

I was tensed under her actions, and was trying my absolute hardest to not make noise. With a sharp intake of air, I gasped meekly. I didn't know how much more of this I could take. She moved to the flesh of my neck, and continued her assault of licks and kisses. I was practically writhing like a snake under her.

The final straw came when she ran her hooves up my sides, and across my wings. With more force than was probably needed, I grabbed her shoulders and pushed her away from me, almost knocking her over. She gave me a look of concern as from her perspective, I just denied her advancements, hard.

"I-I'm sorry Jetty," I whispered as best I could. "I-It was just... too much." She looked upset, almost as if she was ready to burst into tears.

"Oh..."

"No no no!" I waved my hoof in flagrance. "Not like that! I'm just....really ticklish...." I admitted defeatedly.

A devious smile arose on her face, as I knew exactly what she was thinking.

Oh buck...

She dove into me again, this time with intent to assault my senses. I grabbed her hooves as best I could to prevent the torture that was mere inches away.

"NO!" I whisper-shouted. "You stop, hrrrg, right now!" Despite my pleas, her attack kept coming.

"You're gonna wake them up!" I pleaded.

A sharp redirect of her force shifted the couch just enough to make a hefty noise. With that, we both froze in place. We looked over as Berry stirred in her sleep, but ultimately remained unconscious. Astro snored slightly, and rolled over onto his side.

Jetty seemed to finally get the hint as she lifted herself off me slightly, but then dropped her body back on mine, temporarily pinning me down once again.

"Wanna go to the guest room and... have some fun?" She purred in my ear.

I felt a shiver run down my spine as the lewd thoughts flooded my brain. As much as I wanted her to suddenly drop the charade and claim it's just a big joke, I knew she wouldn't.

"Yes."

Brain, what the buck?! I'm not ready for this! Smokey's stupid buckin' brownies must still be lingering on us. I'm not ready to rut somepony, especially at 2:30 in the morning with 4 other ponies in an apartment that's not even mine!

"Before we go..." Jetty shifted her weight and reached over for something on the table. She picked up the vape that Astro had used earlier that day, or should I say the day before. She put it up to her mouth and took a huge rip. The wrrshing of the evaporating liquid sounded its function. She held it for a few seconds, and let her breath out, blowing a cloud of vapor in my face. The artificial scent filled my nostrils. She took another large pull off the device, then handed it to me. Without any hesitation or thought, I inhaled on the device too.

What am I doing??? Why do I have no control??? HELP!!!

After my exhalation, I copied her motion by having another breath-full. I put the vape back on the table with a quiet tink.
"You ready?" Jetty whispered to me.

I felt my heart rate spike dramatically as the realization finally set in.

Oh dear Celestia, I'm really 'bout to do this aren't I? WE'RE going to do this...

She planted another kiss, but this one felt different. There was a carnal lust that was not present before. She wanted me, and she wanted me badly.

She slid off me, and stood up from the couch. She grabbed my hoof and pulled me up as well. I glanced over at the trio, thankfully still asleep.

She scooted around me and pulled me towards the hallway. Tip-hoofing to the door, she nudged it open gently, revealing a queen size bed in a well decorated guest bedroom. We both stepped inside the room. The room smelled fresh, and unused. That was about to change.

She closed the door with a soft click, and turned the lock on the knob. Her pulling continued as we reached the foot of the bed. Jetty, with a newfound confidence, pushed me onto my back once again, and slid up me as she had on the couch.

She stared into my eyes for a few moments before making any moves. As she did, I felt the fast-acting high of the vape hit me. I almost lost any and all inhibitions then and there as the familiar sense of euphoria overcame me.

Her irises were galaxies and I was their hitchhiker, wandering the cosmos in search of the deep need and lust I ever so secretly desired.

I reached out and ran my hooves up her sides, caressing her wings. In reponse, they unfurled. Perfectly preened and maintained were the best way to describe them. The image in front of me was similar to that of a Goddess. I had a hunger. A kind of hunger that keeps a stallion awake at night. And boy was I going to eat.

She pulled her face close and put another kiss on my resumé for tonight. This time, I felt her tongue caress my mouth, gently but firmly asking for passage. I obliged, of course.

Her tongue wrestled mine for dominance. This being my first makeout session, I had basically followed a piece of advice Astro had given me many years back.

"Just mirror their movements and you'll be fine..."

I did as I was told, both by Astro's advice, and Jetty's advances. She wrapped her hooves around my neck, so I followed suit.

At some point we needed to breathe again, so Jetty pulled away. Both our breathing was heavy. The passion and lust was palpable; both figuratively and literally. My heart was ready to burst out of my chest, and the adrenaline wasn't making it any better.

After a few moments of staring, she looked as if she had something to say.

"So..." she bit her lip seductively, and gave me half-lidded eyes.

"You ready?"

As simple of a question it was, it was nothing but impossible to say anything. I lay there, contemplating. Was I really ready? Am I ready to do this? What if I buck up? What if I-

"Yes."

Welp, here we go...
