A group of friends hits up one of Manehattan's craziest nightclubs. One pony in particular gets a little more than expected.

The club scene isn't everyone's preferred setting, especially the relatively introverted pegasus stallion named Pascal. ('Cali', as his friends like to call him). He is dragged along by his friends:

Electric "Dyno" Dynamo - An earth pony stallion from Neighagra Falls, with a love for everything dangerous.

Smokey Spark - A unicorn stallion and Manehattanite, and aptly named stoner.

Cozy "Jetty" Jetta - The kind-of shy but affectionate pegasus mare from Ponyville.

Berry Blast - A spunky, in-your-face earth pony mare from outside Baltimare who is also Pascal's cousin.

Astro Blaze - Pascal's friend since birth, a blue and orange colored pegasus stallion from Cloudsdale.

Pascal is hesitant to come along, but after an impromptu "relaxation session" at Smokey Spark's apartment, the gang convinces him to come along for a night he will (mostly) never forget.

(Just in case you're confused, this universe has some modern technologies, like TV's for example, but nothing crazy.)

Relaxation Station

The yearly expedition in Manehattan was happening today, and we had ventured from all over the map to come together. Astro Blaze and I had come from Cloudsdale. Friends since our school days, we had been nearly inseparable. Unfortunately, Astro's job had him moved to Canterlot for the autumn and winter months, so it wasn't long that we could see each other regularly.

Next is Electric Dynamo, or "Dyno" as we call him. He was a strong earth pony, whom we met from an expo in Las Pegasus. Astro and Dyno became quick friends as well as Dyno and I. He's told us tons of stories of him growing up in the winter wonderland that is Neighagra Falls in the winter time. I don't think I could handle that much snow, and I volunteered for the weather team before!

Next is Berry Blast, my cousin. My aunt and uncle had eloped to Baltimare when I was super young and eventually had Berry when I was around 3 years of age. I remember always going to visit them for the holidays with my Mom and Dad. I remember one year when I got in trouble for dive-bombing the trampoline with Berry Blast and her brother, Bluewave, on it so I could launch them higher. Ahh, good times.

Then there's Smokey Spark... what can't I say about him? He's a up and coming rapper from Manehattan, and the one who's apartment we're all meeting up at today. I met him when he was "touring" (which was basically him couch-hopping from town to town making his presence known) and he stopped in Cloudsdale. I had been a fan of this kind of music, and to see a real, authentic pony from the streets of Manehattan themselves was unlike almost anything I had ever seen. He had real emotion, real passion in his lyrics that not many could recreate. Every where he went he made his presence known, whether it was through his performances, or the trail of smoke following his every step...

Finally there's Cozy Jetta, or "Jetty" as we've come to call her. She's from Ponyville, and we met through Smokey in a way. I was at a tavern before one of Smokey's shows, and had seen a sad pony all by their lonesome at the end of the bar. I decided to break out of my shell a little bit, so I went up to her and struck up conversation. She was very shy at first, but eventually she came around to me. Turns out, she was passing time to go to Smokey's concert too! From then on I knew we'd always have at least some connection, whether it was through common interest in music, or her relatively close proximity to me in Cloudsdale. Did I also mention she's super adorable?

~~~*****~~~

The busy noises from the streets of Manehattan never ceased to put me in a state of awe. Every time I visit, I still get a rush. Walking down the sidewalk, I felt every undulation under my hoof as I stepped carefully to avoid small ledges in the concrete patches. Downtown was a far cry from where Smokey had grown up. He was from the depths of Marelem, and wasn't afraid to show it sometimes either. He was proud of who he was, and it reflects in his music.

I stepped aside from the busy path of walking ponies to gaze up at Smokey's apartment building. "Coltshire Plaza" read the letters embossed on fancy stone entrance-way. While it wasn't "luxury" by most standards, it was much nicer than anything I could probably afford in this tax-happy city. Smokey had recently been in a deal signed to a small label, so he was growing steadily in fame as well as fortune. I walked past the mare at the front desk, and gave her a wave hello. I turned the corner of the ornate lobby to find three elevators. I clicked the "UP" arrow and stepped back and waited for the elevator. A couple seconds passed, and Elevator #2 dinged its presence. I stepped inside and hit the button marked "15". The small jolt of the elevator accelerating upwards almost made me stumble slightly. I was never used to how fast these elevators go.

The elevator opened and I walked onto the soft carpet of the hallway. Taking a right, I glanced at each sign on each door to count my way.

"1503...1504...1505..." I said to myself as I kept sauntering down the hall.

Here we go! The metallic sign read "1508". "Smokey's Palace" as he dubbed it, was awaiting me. I knocked on the door. Moments later, a green aura engulfed the door handle. I heard the sound of a sliding lock and a deadbolt, then the door flew open. I was greeted by the faint but apparent scent of his apartment. As best as he tried to hide it, his apartment reeked of mareijuana. No pony in all honesty cared about other ponies using it, but me not being acclimatized to it still made me feel weird.

I trotted down the small hallway-slash-foyer to be greeted by Smokey, in the center of the white couch in the living room, rolling what I could only assume were "materials" for his future use. Dyno was to his right, who gave a small wave and a "Hey, what's up?". Berry Blast was on the loveseat perpendicular to the two stallions, idly flipping through a magazine. Jetty sat alone on a recliner across from Smokey and Dyno. She gave me a sweet smile that could melt even the coldest of hearts. I turned my body to face Dyno. I hoof-bumped Dyno, but was subsequently ignored by Smokey, who was full on concentrated in his efforts to roll a blunt, tongue out and everything. His green aura worked meticulously on the papers that were in front of him. Berry tossed the magazine to the side and stood up to give me a quick hug. I reciprocated, then turned to face Jetty who had also stood up. I knew to make this one last, however. Jetty knew her way around friendly affection, and always gave the best hugs. I put my foreleg around her and grasped snugly. I felt her squeeze me back, and noticed my heartbeat quicken a little bit. I discreetly inhaled to catch her scent. She always smelled like cinnamon rolls. Did I mention she gives the best hugs?

"I'm so glad you could make it!" She said to me.

"I wouldn't miss our excursions for anything." I replied as I regretfully released the embrace. I took a seat next to Berry on the loveseat, taking a moment to look around at Smokey's decor. I always enjoyed modern style like he did as well. It makes a home feel more luxurious than it necessarily is.

"Aaaaaaand perfect!" Smokey said to no one in particular. "All done. These shits gonna be fire to smoke when the crew pull up." Smokey aligned all the papers in a small, shiny wooden box and hovered it with his magic over to the cabinet under the TV stand. "I know y'all don't really use that stuff, so I save it for the label mates and whatnot."

"You know, I've always been keen to try it." Berry spoke up. Everypony turned to face her.

"Really? You'd do that?" I asked.

"Buck it, why not? I'm down to try new things." She quipped back. She smacked my chest with the back of her hoof. "You should too, c'mon!"

"Oh, I don't know... I don't have a problem with ponies using it but... it's just not for me I don't think." I said to her.

"Aww, c'mon Cali, BLAZE UP!" She yelled while putting both hooves in the air. "Don't be a wuss."

"Hey Berry" Smokey interrupted, "It's fine if he don' wan' use it. As much as I love the stuff, I won't force it on nopony if they don' wan' it."

"Thanks, Smokey." I smiled at him.

"No prollem bruh." He said as he got up from his spot on the couch. "Be right back wit it Berry, I got some pre-set in my room." He turned the corner out of sight and walked down a small hallway to what I assumed was his bedroom.

"Hey," Jetty piped up, "Has anyone seen Astro yet?"

Just then, a knocking was heard on the back door to Smokey's small balcony. It was Astro Blaze, with his unmistakable blue coat and jagged orange mane. He hovered at the sliding glass door, jiggling the handle, but to no avail.

"Heeeey!" A muffled voice was heard through the glass. "Let me in!" Berry got up and flipped the lock on the interior side of the door handle, and Astro slid the door open.

"What's up guys? Long time no see, eh?" He landed on the carpet of the living room and folded his wings. Berry, already standing, gave him a quick hug. He moved on to Jetty, and wrapped a hoof around her shoulder, all while still sitting in the chair. He then turned to me. I quickly stood up and gave him our totally-not-classified hoofshake, which ended in a bro-hug.

"He has a door, ya know." I quipped as I tilted my head to point at the front door.

"Yeah, but walking is boring. Who walks up stairs anyway?" He said, completely oblivious to the fact that not everypony has wings. I looked over to Berry and Dyno, who both furrowed their brows and made the same "are you kidding me" face. Astro met their eye contact.

"Oh...right."

As both Astro and I took a seat, Smokey came back with a ready-to-go bong and a fancy engraved metal lighter, and took a seat back in the middle of the triple width couch.

"Alright, here we are." He said as he placed it down on the glass coffee table. "I filled it with some mild stuff, since it'll be yo first time doin' it. Don't wanna go too crazy now." Berry nodded in confirmation as everyone watched the mini ritual-like sequence of Smokey initially lightning the bowl part of the bong. "I'll get it going for ya, and I'll even be so kind as 'ta hold the lighta for ya. All ya need to do is breathe in, and hold it as long as possible. Got it?"

"Yep." Berry nodded in confirmation once more. A few more seconds pass as the water in the bong starts to heat up. He puts his muzzle to the end of the glass and takes a small inhale. He quickly exhales as a tiny puff of smoke comes out of his mouth.

"Alright, it's good ta go. Ready?" He floated the bong over to Berry's position.

"Ready." She said, confident as can be. The lighter flicked once more as Berry put her muzzle to the glass and takes an adequate, but slow inhale. The water bubbled in the bottom of the tube as I could see smoke enter her mouth. She put up a hoof to gently push it away from her mouth as she closed her lips and held in her breath. She only held it for a few seconds before she sputtered and coughed out smoke like an old train. Her face flushed slightly as she coughed more and cleared her throat.

"Here ya go." Smokey hovered a glass of water over to her, which she promptly gulped about half of.

"Damn, that's *cough* nice though. Let me try it again." She said with determination.

"Ahhaaa! That's the spirit!" Smokey exclaimed, clapping his hooves together. He hovered the bong over to her once more, and she put her muzzle to the glass rim. The lighter flicked, and she inhaled. This time, a little more deeply. She held up a hoof once more as Smokey moved it away and sat it on the table. She held it in for about 6 seconds, then elegantly tilted her head upwards and exhaled the smoke to the ceiling. I was amazed that she got the hang of it so quick.

"See? You're a pro already." Smokey smiled at her.

"That's stuffs really nice. How long till it kicks in?"

"It takes a little under an hour usually. That strain is very slow acting, and lasts quite a while. But don't worry, it ain't super strong or nuttin'. It's very mellow. You'll feel like you're floatin' on a cloud." Smokey explained.

"Neat."

"HEY!" Astro spoke up. "I wanna try that too!"

"Well looks like we got a high tide caravan goin' on here now." Smokey replied. I sat quietly as I watched all my friends getting high. It was pretty entertaining, not gonna lie.

"This bong's pretty empty, try that vape right there." Smokey pointed to a small, black device with a spout looking protrusion on top, sitting on the table. "It's got oils mixed in wit' the normal liquid. It's not too intense for a beginner either. I feel that would be more your speed anyways."

I watched as Astro picked up the vape, and put the spout in his mouth and inhale. He pulled his mouth off and exhaled, but nothing came out.

"Ya gotta hold the button down, bruh."

Astro put his mouth back on it, and pushed a small button on the front of the device and inhaled. An audible "wrrsh"ing sound could be heard. We all watched as Astro pulled off the device, and exhaled a huge, dense cloud of vapor. I heard a faint gasp of what seemed to be amazement from Jetty to my right.

"Yoooooo! This shit's cool!" Astro exclaimed, inspecting the device. He put his mouth back on the vape and inhaled once more. He exhaled, releasing another huge cloud of vapor that soon dissipated.

"Don't overdo it, now. You don't need a lot when it comes to that." Smokey gave a word of advice. I learned to trust whatever Smokey says. He grew up in the streets. He knows what's up. Smokey turned to Dyno who had been silently watching this whole thing like me. "You want to try it too?"

"No, I'm okay. I don't want to get in that stuff." Dyno waved a large hoof dismissively. Smokey turned his attention to Jetty, who had been the third musketeer of observing during these whole events. Smokey raised an eyebrow to her.

"Oh...no, no thanks." She said sheepishly as she wagged her head back and forth.

"Ayy, it's fine. Like I said, I ain't gon' make nopony do nuttin' they don't wanna." Meanwhile, Astro had taken two more large hits from Smokey's vape, once accidentally blowing a cloud in Smokey's face.

"Alright man, you're good wit' that." His green aura surrounded the vape as he brought it back to the table. "I don' need you bein' too crazy at the club tonight."

"Club?" I inquired. "What club?"

"The club we're going to tonight, silly." said Berry.

"I had no idea we're going to a club..." I looked around at everypony in the room. "I don't really do that, ya know, club stuff." Astro just had to butt in:

"Aww, c'mon! I've seen you drink 'n shit before. I've seen you dancin' to your music."

"Well, for one, the only time I got truly drunk was New Year's Eve last year." I blushed a little thinking about the second bit. "Second, you weren't supposed to see that..." I heard Jetty giggle a little as she probably was imagining me dancing, what I thought was alone in my room, when Astro decided to pay me a surprise visit that one time.

"Ha ha! You should've seen 'em! Dancing like nopony was watching."

"Yeah, because I THOUGHT nopony was watching." I barked back at him, my face growing a little hotter.

"Hey man, chill. Not gonna lie you had some moves there; before you saw me and slammed the door in my face of course." He gave a small chuckle, as well as Berry and Jetty. I looked down to save myself from my own embarrassment. My sulking session was interrupted by Berry elbowing my arm.

"Hey, we'll be seeing your moves at the club later, right?" She raised a brow at me.

"Oh, nononono. I rarely ever dance, ESPECIALLY in public." I warned her.

"Yeah, come on Cali!" Even Dyno piped up, not heeding my warning. I crossed my arms in mock frustration.

"Yeah bro, everyone's gotta let loose once in a while." Astro said as he shimmied his rear back and forth on the couch, mock dancing while seated as best he could.

I rolled my eyes at Astro's response. "If I say 'maybe', will all of you let it go?" I said, flatly.

"Hmm, we'll see." Berry hummed. "Say, Smokey, when are we going anyway?" Smokey glanced at the clock next to the TV on the stand. It read '8:48'. It was on the tail end of spring, so the sun was starting to make its way down in the sky, just starting to cast a slight golden hue in the sky.

"So, what's this club" I emphasized the word 'club' in my slight annoyance, "that we're going to anyway?"

"Iss on the west side, it's called Cloud9." Smokey announced to the room. "It's really ex-"

"NO WAY!" Berry shouted to no one in particular. "That's one of the most exclusive clubs in all of Manehattan!"

"Yeeeeaaaahhh... as I was gonna say, it's really exclusive. I got us an in though, I know some ponies." He gave a proud grin.

"Oooo, that sounds like fun!" Jetty said rather excitedly.

"Doesn't it? This night gon' be lit." Smokey said, standing up and stretching. "We can prolly leave now, if y'all want."

"Yeah."

"Sounds good to me."

I chimed in, "You got anything to eat real quick before we go?"

"Yeah, bruh. Right in the kitchen over there. You can eat anything ya find."

"Alright, cool." I stood up and made my way through the living room to the kitchen. Stepping through the archway to the kitchen, I stopped. I gazed around the kitchen to find something quick and easy to eat. Banana...nah. Apple...nah. Brownies....BROWNIES? My eyes widened as I spotted two trays of brownies on the counter top. I walked over to the counter and took a sniff. And they're fresh too! The tray on the left had a piece already cut out of it, and a knife sitting on the edge of the tray. I picked up the knife and cut a small piece, about equal to the size of the piece already missing. picked it up and took a bite. Oh my Celestia, these are amazing! I took another big bite, and almost ate half of it by then.

I finished up the brownie and brushed the crumbs off my hoof. I felt a bit thirsty, so I went to the first cabinet closest to me and opened it. Dishes... I opened the second and found what I was looking for. I grabbed a small glass and brought it to the refrigerator. I placed the cup on the small ledge in the freezer door, and clicked the lever to release the water. The cup filled most of the way, and I pulled it back. After chugging the cool water, I placed the cup in the sink. Refreshing. I walked back out to the living room...

"So what'd you have Cali?" Astro asked me.

"There were some bomb ass brownies on the counter there and-"

"WHOA. Bruh, which one did you eat?" Smokey stood up quickly with wide eyes.

"Huh... what do you mea-"

"Which. One. Did. You. Eat?"

"I don't know!... the one with the piece already cut out?" I replied hesitantly. Then he just started laughing. Smokey fell back into the couch, laughing his flank off. After his laughing fit, he sat back up on the couch.

"Ooooo shit, you're gonna have a fun ass night tonight!" He said still chuckling.

"W-what? Why?" I became nervous. What did I do wrong?

"You ate one of my brownies, bruh."

"Well, yeah, duh."

"No, you ate one of my weed brownies." After hearing that, I fell to my haunches. My mouth fell slightly ajar. I was probably overreacting, but a small sense of dread fell over me too. The moment of silence was cut short by Berry's sharp laughter.

"Haaaaahahaha! Cali did blaze up!"

Smokey stood up and sat down next to me, and put a comforting hoof on my back.

"Hey, don't worry bruh. It's gonna be fine. You only had a small piece right? Like with Berry and Astro, it's gonna take a while to kick in, probably longer than the other two. You'll feel real good, like you're on a cloud, but on the ground. You feel me?" His confident knowledge was somewhat reassuring.

"Yeah, I feel you." I replied back, smiling a bit.

"But heed this warning," he said, re-raising my blood pressure again. He lowered his voice a bit, but not enough to be completely private. "The strain I made them with was for a, well let's just say, 'special' party I was havin' later this week. It may or may not act as a lil' bit of a...umm... what's the word?" He put a hoof to his temple whilst squinting hard. "Let's just say, you might get 'bit by the love bug'." He elbowed my side with jest.

I looked down at the carpet for a moment, thinking what he meant by it. It took a moment, but another wave of dread hit me when I realized what he meant. I looked up at him, with small pupils. I whispered to him, hoping only he would hear.

"It's gonna be an....an aphrodisiac?" I worriedly asked.

"Yeah! That's the word. Ah-phro-deeez-iac." He carefully enunciated aloud.

I felt a hot wave wash over my body. I don't want to be getting all up on mares in the club tonight. I can't do that. I don't have the confidence to do that... I-I've never done that be-

My inner monologue was interrupted by a snort of laughter from Berry and Astro, along with a smile and stifled laughter from Dyno.

"Looks like Cali might finally get laid tonight~!" Astro chimed in. After hearing this, a blush returned to my face once more.

"Oh, buck you Astro."

"Hey, c'mon bro, nothin' to be ashamed of." He reminded everypony. "We want you to have a good time just like we wanna have a good time."

I looked back at him, initially furrowing my brow, but then releasing the tension in my face as I smiled at him.

"Yeah, I guess you're right." I sighed. "Are we gonna head out?"

Smokey replied back, "Hell yeah, bruh! Let's go!"

At that statement, everypony stood up, and filed towards the door. Smokey hovered a black beanie from a nearby chair onto his head, and affixed it with his hooves. Smokey was the first to reach the door, followed by Astro, Dyno, and Berry. I stood up and followed behind her. Before I reached the door however, I noticed Jetty was still sitting in her chair, seemingly lost in a daydream. I stopped and turned to her:

"Jetty, you comin'?" I inquired. She looked up at me with a surprised face.

She stammered, "Oh, what? Y-yeah uh, just give me a second. Gotta, uh, use the bathroom." She gave a sheepish smile. and got up and walked towards the hall next to the kitchen.

"Uhh, alright. We'll be in the lobby waiting for you." I said to her, gifting her my own smile. I proceeded to walk through and close the door to the apartment. I clicked the elevator button, and had to ride the elevator down myself, as my conversation had me miss the one everypony else was on. As I got to the lobby, the group was waiting for me.

"Where's Jetty?" asked Dyno.

"She had to use the bathroom I guess. She'll be down in a sec."

Moments later, Jetty arrived into the lobby.

"Alright, I'm ready. Let's go." She bounced slightly on the tips of her hooves.

Smokey lead us through the front door, back into the hustle and bustle of the city in the evening. The sounds and sights and smells hit me once again, and to my surprise, a feeling of excitement washed over me.

This night is sure gonna be something. I guess I should try my best to enjoy it.

The Train Has Arrived

We were lucky enough to hit very few “Do Not Walk” signs on the trek to the club, so our walk was only about 15 minutes. We reached a stretch of the block between 59th and 60th street which seemed to be the Marecca of the club scene in Manehattan. Fancy facades, each emblazoned with their own special custom-lit signs displaying the name of the club, lined the wide sidewalk. Ponies of all walks of life seemed to be lined up outside various clubs hoping to get in. It was quite an interesting sight to see. As we walked past each club's doors, a faint thumping could be heard from the music within. It was like it's own condensed hive of bees ready to burst out onto the street.

We reached the entrance to our club in question, Cloud9. The exterior was themed as a cloud palace. Columns adjoined to antiquated architecture surrounded the large, heavy looking front doors. Smokey abruptly stopped walking, which made us subsequently stop too. We were adjacent to the line of many mares and stallions waiting to get in, and the only thing that separated us was a thick, velvet wrapped set of ropes. Smokey turned to us and to overcome the street noise had to half-yell to us;

"Wait here, Imma talk to tough guy over there so we can get in." He pointed towards a gargantuan stallion with a buzz cut mane standing upon a small incline of stairs. He was wearing a pristine white shirt, and on it a black suit jacket. It honestly looked like something out of a movie. I was so astonished by his muscularity. I thought Dyno was a big stallion! This guy could crush Dyno with his eyes closed!

We watched as Smokey walked about 15 feet away, and up the small incline towards the bouncer. At first, he held a massive hoof up to Smokey to stop him in his tracks, but he proceeded to say something to the bouncer. I couldn't hear any of their conversation, but I could see lips moving. Smokey then pulled something out of his beanie, and flashed it to the bouncer. I watched as Smokey then turned to face us and point us out to him. The bouncer tilted his mirrored shades down to get a better look, and then said something to Smokey. He had a smile on his face so I assumed it was good. Smokey turned fully towards us and yelled.

"C'mon guys, let's go!"

"Aww, buck yeah!" Astro seemed very excited. We picked up a slow gallop to catch up with Smokey, and we followed him through the large double doors that the bouncer had kindly opened for us. I faintly heard murmurs from the line of ponies waiting. I'm sure they were very jealous.

The entrance was very elegant to say the least. It almost seemed like a luxury hotel. A foyer with a marble floor and a very high ceiling was what first came to sight.

"Wow..." Jetty mumbled to herself. "I've never seen a place this fancy before."

"It's great isn't it?" Smokey replied. The circular room was capped by a faux domed roof, with 8 cloud columns surrounding the room. I glanced to my left to see a hallway with "Coat Check" labeled above it. None of us had coats or anything so I doubt we'd need to go there. I glanced to the right to see another hallway with a sign labeled "Bathrooms". Straight ahead was the third and final hallway. Smokey took the lead once again and we followed behind him. I overheard the two mares whispering behind me;

"Ohhh, I'm so excited~!" Jetty whispered.

"I know right? So... you gonna hook up with somepony?" I could just hear the smirk on Berry's face.

"Oh, I don't know..." Jetty replied timidly.

"C'mon, I bet you can find somepony your type."

"Ehh, well... I do have a type of pony in mind..."

I wonder who that lucky stallion was going to be.

As we turned right, we were met with a more official "entrance". There were two smaller doorways. One labeled "Pegasus Entrance" and the other labeled "Non-Pegasus Entrance". The Pegasus entrance was sort of "stacked" on top of the non-pegasus entrance. My curiosity got the best of me, and I approached a small sign next to the ground-level entrance. It read:

"Earth ponies, Unicorns, and all other non-winged species please enter this way. A cloud-walking spell will be cast upon you that lasts approximately 8 hours. This will allow you to experience Cloud9 to the fullest extent. Cloud9 is not responsible for injury sustained by cloud-walking outside of this club property. Have a great night!" Huh, neat.

Astro was clearly very excited, and started getting ahead of us.

"See you guys on the other side!" He then proceeded to fly up and through the Pegasus entrance.

"I forget that he's a grown stallion and not a little filly sometimes." I joked as I nudged Jetty on her side. "Right?"

She giggled softly, and followed suit by taking off gently with a flap of her wings and following the long-gone Astro through the Pegasus entrance. Seeing her laugh never failed to bring a smile to my face. I looked back at the trio of ponies still in front of me.

"Well," Berry Blast said, "Aren't you gonna follow them?"

"Yeah, in a sec." I replied. "I kinda wanna see how this works." The three walked into the small entrance-way, and stood together in a small square on the ground labeled "Stand Here". Smokey pressed a button on the wall which sounded a buzzer, and two small mechanical arms folded out of the wall on either side. The points of the arms resembled a unicorn's horn, but metal. The tips lit up a bright sky blue, what I assume is the matching color to the Cloud9 sign outside. The aura engulfed the three for about 5 seconds, and then faded. The arms folded back into the walls, and a high-pitched "ding" was audible. The frosted glass door blocking their way then opened up automatically, and they started stepping through. Seeing as the process was done, I took off with a quick flap of my wings and quickly followed through the Pegasus entrance. After a sharp right, the entrance-way turned into cloud flooring. No way! Everything is made of clouds? I guess that explains the need for the spell. The hallway turned back left, and had a set of stairs leading downward. The two entrance-ways converged back into one, where my five friends were waiting.

"DUDE! THIS IS WHAT CLOUDS FEEL LIKE?" Dyno yelled aloud, repeatedly mashing his hooves into the floor.

"Right?" Berry added, "This is like, the softest thing EVER." She was sprawled out on the floor, rubbing the cloud with her hooves.

"It's cool, isn't it?" I said.

"You've got all night to feel the clouds, let's gooo!" Smokey said to the two distracted ponies. As he started walking, we followed behind. The music that had been thumping through the walls this whole time was getting louder at this point. There was one final right turn about 10 feet ahead, and I assumed this was the last one. It was, in fact. What we walked into was quite a sight to behold.

A small stand held a map of the room:

An absolutely massive room filled with easily hundreds of ponies, decorated as a cloud palace was the best way to describe it. It was all open too! We had entered on an elevated level above what I assumed was the dance floor. To our left was a large elevated area filled with classy tables and various seating. To our right was the equally impressive bar area. Shelves at least three ponies high of boutique alcohols and mixers adorned the back wall. Past the bar was a small cloud staircase that led up to a catwalk of some sort. There were floating platforms with railings that sat above the farther corners of the room. Each platform had a hoof-full of ponies dancing along to the beat of the music. Speaking of the music, it was very loud, but somehow not intolerable like I was expecting it to be. Even from this distance from the stage, the bass was still thumping in my chest. Directly ahead was a grand staircase that led down down to the lower level. From what I could see, the dance floor was already packed with ponies.

The room as a whole was fairly dark, aside from the flashing lights and lasers of the dance floor, and places like the bar and the lounge, which had small accent lightning to make it just bearable enough to see.

Smokey got our attention, "Alright, I got some quick bid'niss to attend to, you guys have fun. I'll be right back."

"Alright. Well, I don't know about you guys," Berry started, "But I'm tryna get hammered tonight sooooo, I'll head to the bar. Astro, Dyno, come with me. Cali and Jetta, go claim us a booth. Also, what do you guys want to drink?" She asked.

"Oh, I don't know Berry I-"

"Listen here!" Berry interrupted me with a poke to the chest, "You're not gonna be some prude this whole night. You're gonna let loose like the rest of us. Now, what do you want to drink?"

"I guess I'll take a Mareibou Lou then." I replied defeatedly.

"I'll have a Moscow mule, please." Jetta requested.

"Sounds good. Meet you guys there in a bit." With that, Berry, Astro and Dyno all trotted off towards the bar. That left Jetty and me to find a booth.

The booths were large, reddish overstuffed clouds shaped in a semi-circle like in an old-school bar. We found an empty one rather quickly, and sat down. We slid towards the middle of the booth and sat rather close to each other. We sat in silence (as silent as a raving club can be) for some moments until I jumped slightly as something brushed up against my right side. Jetty had apparently been a little too excited, as one of her wings had unfurled just slightly and made contact with me. She blushed and pulled her wings back in tight.

"Ohh, uhh... sorry..heheh" She said sheepishly. "I'm just really nervous... and excited. Nervous-cited I guess you could say." I moved my head lower down closer to her so she could hear me better.

"Hey, don't worry. How do you think I'm feeling right now? I ate one of Smokey's stupid buckin' brownies and I don't even know what's gonna happen to me." I said, trying to soothe her anxiety.

"Haha, yeah. That sounds soooo bad." She said in a seemingly mocking tone, "I MEAN, UH, totally. That sucks." She corrected herself, and broke eye contact, trying to find something other than me to look at at that moment. I turned to face forward as well, returning back to the silence that was previously there. Thankfully, the trio returned with two trays of drinks. One tray had 5 mixed drinks on it, one being Jetty's Moscow mule, easily recognizable by the copper cup. The other tray had 6 shot glasses with clear liquid in them. Oh no, shots...

Astro sat to my left, and Berry and Dyno entered in the right side of the booth. With five ponies in the booth, it became fairly snug, with only a little more than a hoof's width of space between everypony. Berry picked each drink off the tray on the table and set it in front of the expecting pony. First was Dyno's which was a bright blue drink in a tall, cylindrical glass, topped with a mini beach umbrella and an actual blue raspberry stabbed through by the straw. I guess I know what flavor it is... Next came Jetty's drink. The copper mug clinked as it touched the glossy wooden table. The tables interestingly enough, were one of the few things not made of clouds. My Mareibou Lou touched down next. I didn't want anything too crazy, unlike the shots Berry had lined up. Astro's drink was next, which was a faint yellowish brown color, sort of like half-and-half lemonade iced tea. Lastly was Berry's own drink, which was one I did actually recognize, a Long Island Iced Tea. She definitely wanted to get hammered.

"Hope you guys enjoy your drinks," Berry stated, "They weren't cheap."

"I mean you didn't have to get shots along with it." I retorted.

"I wanted to give everyone an extra kick, especially if you were getting a weak drink." She emphasized the word 'weak' while looking directly at me. I looked away from her and towards my drink. I took the straw and stirred the liquid a few times and took a sip. That's pretty damn good, not gonna lie...

After a few minutes of sipping in silence and watching ponies pass and go, I glanced around the table to see what everypony was up to. Dyno and Berry seemed to be having a nice conversation, despite not being able to hear it. Craning my neck farther, I saw Jetty with her eyes closed, slowly bobbing her head to the music and swaying along, all the while having a gracious smile on her face. I then turned to my left to see Astro eyeing up pretty much every mare that came past. As a group of three mares passed us, Astro whistled to himself and turned to meet my gaze.

"Look at the flank on that one, eh?" He nudged my side playfully.

"I-uh...yeah, sure." I replied, slightly flustered. I hadn't been staring at them like that, so I didn't really know. I always felt...I don't know...creepy? Disrespectful? When I stared at mares like that. Astro on the other hoof was quite the hound-dog and wasn't afraid to show it.

As I was looking down at my drink once again, a voice came from the front of the table;

"What's up guys? Nice booth ya got here." Smokey had returned and was standing at the edge of the table holding a tray in his magic green aura. The tray had six more shot glasses, this time with a blue liquid in them.

"Oh sweet Celestia, MORE shots?" I groaned.

Berry raised both her hooves in the air, "Buck yeah!"

"We haven't even done those yet!" I said while pointing to the tray of six shots sitting on the table.

"Oh... I see. Well, like three of these were for me anyway. Ya been havin' drinks already, I gotta catch up." Smokey chuckled, and placed his tray on the table. He moved to the left side of the booth near Astro, and made a waving motion inward towards the booth with his hoof. Wordlessly, everyone in the booth (minus Dyno who was already at the opposite edge of course) slid over to make room for Smokey. After the slide, everypony was even closer to each other than before. Less than three inches separated Jetty and I now, and any small fidget from either of us would make contact with the other. Astro was also close to my other side as well.

Berry slammed her hooves on the table, making her somehow already empty cup bounce slightly.

"Alright, let's get these shots GOING!" She yelled out in excitement. Smokey picked up the six original shots and hovered one to each of us. He released his aura on them all, except for his own. Each of us picked up our respective glass and toasted in the center of the table. The slightly offset clink of everyone's glass was followed by each one hitting the table (as is "shots" tradition) and we each downed the drink. The immediate burning sensation I felt was very recognizable: vodka. I tried my hardest to stifle my coughing as I felt the burning travel down my throat. I quickly glanced around the table, and saw that Dyno, Berry and Astro had seemingly handled it well. Smokey wiped his mouth and made a slight face.

"I like shots, but vodka ain't my shit." He said. Jetty seemed to not enjoy it so much either, but once she noticed my hacking she smiled and laughed at my misfortune.

Through the coughs I managed to get out: "Ha ha, cough very cough funny." I picked up my other drink and took a sip to quell the burning. My 'Lou was practically juice compared to it.

"Round 2!" Berry shouted.

"Oh boy..." I trailed off.

"Don't worry," Smokey reassured, "This won't be as bad." He floated two over to himself, and as he reached Dyno with one, he waved his hoof dismissively.

"I'm okay, I don't want another one." Dyno said. Berry then swiped the shot from the air and put it down in front of her.

"Yoink! More for me!" She exclaimed.

"Ho ho, wait a minute. Astro, did you want that one?" Smokey asked.

"Nah, I'm good Smokey. Plus, I'm feelin' kinda...weird right now. Like, I feel like I'm floating," He then turned to each of his sides to look at his wings. "I'm not flying or anything."

"Ha haaaa! It's kickin' in now isn't it? Feels nice doesn't it?" Smokey put an arm around Astro and shook him slightly.

"Yeah... yeah it does. I feel like I'm one with the universe..." Astro trailed off with his words.

"Alright, stop bein' such a drama queen." Smokey let go of him and hovered the other two shots in the air.

Berry then brought the attention back to her. "I volunteer Jetty and Cali have the last two."

"What, why?" I asked.

"You two are the least experienced here. Like I said, I wanna see you two get loose. Especially you, Cali." I looked down at the table, feeling somehow slightly ashamed at what she said, despite it not being in mean spirit.

"Plus, I haven't seen you two drunk yet." She gave me a wicked grin as I met her gaze. I looked away back at my empty Mareibou Lou glass. I then turned to Jetty to gauge a reaction. She met my eyes, and merely smiled and shrugged as the last two shots plopped down in front of us. She raised it in her hoof, as did I. Berry and Smokey both followed suit. We tapped the glasses on the edge of the table and downed them. This shot, unlike the last, was very sweet and didn't burn nearly at all. It tasted fantastic, in fact. It might have even been what Dyno's drink was made of.

I licked my lips as the taste faded from my mouth. Berry and Smokey had both downed their double shots, and Jetty finished hers. She licked her lips too, and that's when I noticed her tongue.

"Hey, Jetty, your tongue is blue!" I said, surprised.

"Is it really?" She stuck out her tongue in response. "Let me see yours." I stuck out my tongue in response, and she smiled with her mouth open, as she became excited. The blue color seemed to stain our tongues as if we all had been enjoying a hard candy.

Astro seemed to think now was a great time to interrupt our moment. "Dude, this feels GREAT." He looked over to Smokey. "We need to do this more often."

Berry then took her turn. "What we need to do..." She twisted her head back and forth making sure everypony was listening. "Is get on the dance floor! Jetty, I saw you bumpin' along earlier. Let's go!"

"Sounds good!"

"Hell yeah!"

Dyno simply nodded his head in agreement. Smokey however, had news to break to us.

"As much as I'd love to dance wit' y'all, I've gotta drop out again. Have to take care of somethin'."

"Aww," Berry frowned, "really? What keeps dragging you away?" She asked.

"Nuttin'. I'm tryna keep it a secret. You'll see soon enough."

How cryptic.

Smokey was the first to stand up out of the booth, and faced us at the table.

"I'll have to bid y'all an adieu." He proceeded to take a mock bow, and walked away. He went down the grand stairs and out of sight once again.

Berry pushed on Dyno's shoulder, signaling him to stand up. One by one, Dyno, Berry, and Jetty slid out of the booth. Astro had slid out of the other side, and I followed behind.

I didn't want to dance, and Berry sure as hell knew it, but she was going to do everything in her power to drag me along. I had to come up with an excuse.

"Let me get some water before I go down there." I said, pretending like I really needed it.

"Fine, we'll be down on the floor. We won't go too deep, so you'll still be able to find us." Berry replied. As we approached the center of the mezzanine, I split off from the group and headed towards the bar. I watched as the four ponies turned and trotted down the wide staircase. The coast was clear.

I guess I might as well actually get water while I'm at it.

I grabbed the bartender's attention and got him to pour some water for me. Thankfully water was free. I brought it back to the booth where we were sitting and took my spot back in the middle of the booth. I put my lips to the glass and chugged the cool liquid rather quickly, and plopped the glass back on the table. I decided to sit for another minute or two to really milk the "getting water" thing.

Little did I realize, I had started daydreaming whilst looking at nothing in particular. Mediocre thoughts and ideas sprung in and out of my conscience as I unknowingly spent almost 10 minutes sitting there. What broke my daydream however, was an angry looking Berry Blast accompanied by Jetty.

"Dude, what the buck? How long does it take to get water?" She scowled at me, and rightfully so.

"I- uh, I'm sorry. I just got lost in my thoughts is all." This time I wasn't lying.

"Well get your flank out here already!" She never failed to remind me of a hot-tempered mother disciplining their young child for the eighth time in a row.

I slid out of the booth, and came face to face with Jetty, who seemed to be rather enamored with me, or at least something in my general direction. She stared into my eyes, blushing furiously with her mouth slightly agape. I looked around nervously, trying to see if I had misunderstood what she was looking at.

"Uhh, Jetty, you okay?" I waved a hoof in front of her face with no reaction.

Moments later, she shook her head and darted her eyes between me and Berry.

"I-I uhh, havetogousethebathroom BERIGHTBACK!" She then took off running towards the hallway attached to the bar area.

I turned my head towards Berry; "What's her problem? Didn't she use the bathroom before we left?"

Berry put an arm around my back; "Trust me Cali, even I don't fully understand a mare's need for the bathroom sometimes." I looked at her awkwardly. With an inflection of confusion and a cock of my eyebrow I said, "Uhh... okay? I'll keep that in mind..." The hoof over my shoulder turned into a hoof on my backside, pushing me towards the stairs.

"You're coming to dance. Now."

I knew better than to argue with her. I regrettably made my way down the stairs to the lower level. That's when I got my first true look of the dance floor.

Was it ever a sight to behold.

Author's Note

Had to split the main club scene into (at least) two chapters as I felt one huge chapter would be fatiguing. Happy clubbing!

Next Stop: Dance Floor

Author's Note

This chapter will have linked music within certain keywords. It is optional of course, but will give you an idea to the music I had in mind.

You can listen to a snippet of each song or listen to them through. There's no real tie in related to timing, other than some lyrics. I'm mostly providing them to give a sense of the mood and what I imagine they could be listening to.

Sidenote/Slight Spoiler: I am not implying Smokey Spark is any specific artist by the song he performs.

Next Stop: Dance Floor

Before I could register what I was seeing, I immediately noticed the rise in strength of the music. I assumed the lounge area being set back from the floor dampened the volume somewhat, and now that we were in direct eye-line with it, the sound was hitting us at near full power. The bass from whatever system they were using was incredible! Smokey would be soooo jealous to have this kind of setup. The mid-ranges and treble frequencies were loud of course, but not loud enough to be obnoxious or intrusive. Whomever was DJ'ing on this beast of a setup sure knew what they were doing.

As Berry and I reached the bottom of the stairs, I truly got a good look at the crowd of ponies piled on the dance floor. The energy that the crowd emitted was intense, and nearly got me going to the beat as well. Countless ponies of all shapes and sizes mashed together, seemingly having the time of their lives. Despite the strobes and lasers of the stage lighting, it was much darker in this part of the club; probably for atmosphere or something. I looked behind me to see Berry gone, but as I swiveled by head back I caught her form grabbing me and pulling me into the crowd

Moments later I found myself in the middle of a swaying and jumping crowd of ponies, with Berry across from me. Being suddenly thrust into the mix, I was unprepared for the rhythm and movement of the ponies around me. I felt extremely awkward at first, but Berry tapped me on the shoulder and with a "whisper" that was more of a shout (not like anypony else would hear it anyway) she said,

"Come on dude, let loose! Listen for the beat, and follow along. Let the groove take you." I gave her a gentle shove away from me.

I know how dancing works... I huffed to myself in slight frustration.

As much as I disliked dancing around other ponies, I almost couldn't help it. Despite being some sort of filler beat that spanned the gap between main songs, it was definitely infectious. I started bobbing my head to the beat, letting it "take me" as Berry had put it. Slowly but surely, I exaggerated my movements a little more. I bounced lightly on my hooves, trying to match the rhythm of those around me. Berry was already fully into it, beating me to the punch. As I became more enthralled into the music, I noticed Berry mouth something along the lines of "There ya go!". Obviously not being able to hear her, this was a mere guess.

Suddenly, the beat lessened in volume, and a scratchy female voice came over the speakers.

"How's everypony doin' tonight? Make some NOOOIIIISSEEEE!"

The crowd responded adequately with a roar of approval.

"It's halfway through the night, let's pick this bitch up! It's boutta get heated! Let's go!" With that, the DJ mixed in a transition, and the song started.

"Here's my key, philosophy. A freak like me, just needs infinity." A saxophone melody accompanied the opening. I could tell this was going to be a unique one.

"Relax. Take your time..." The beat slowly built over the melody, and the crowd grew anxious to let loose. A final verse was heard right before the final notes before the drop.

With that, it hit.

Everypony went wild, jumping and dancing to the block-rocking beat. It was honestly a struggle trying to keep up. I had to ignore the occasional bumps from ponies around me. It was all part of the experience I guess. I looked across the way to see Berry rocking her heart out. I'm glad she's having a good time.

Part way through the song, I had started to get a weird feeling. It felt like I was floating in a way. I had a sudden rush of euphoria as well. Oh buck... I forgot about Smokey's brownies. Oh Celestia... I looked downward at the LEDs embedded in the dance floor. The pattern had been programmed to pulse with the beat of the song, and I was mesmerized by them. I stumbled slightly, as I tried to not give in too much to the high. Smokey said it would have aphrodisiatic effects, and I did NOT want to do something I was going to regret. I looked around my proximity and noticed just how many ponies were around me, mares especially. Oh no please brain don't do this... I tried to keep my cool as I continued along with the beat.

However, the mid-song beat break (common in many electronic dance songs) hit. The crowd slowed down for a moment, giving me another change to look around. When I wasn't paying attention, Berry must've slipped off somewhere in the crowd. Oh no... She was my tether here... where did she goooo...? My eyes darted left to right as I tried to search for the only pony that had inadvertently been keeping me sane this whole time. My anxiety lifted however, when another wave of the high hit me. It really does relax you doesn't it? The beat dropped back in, and the floor was lit once more.

One thing I had failed to notice earlier was a certain....musk that the air possessed. Possibly hundreds of ponies together in close proximity, dancing their hearts out, sweating... rubbing...grinding... I smacked a hoof to my own head. Damnit, brain. STOP! Everypony combined in such a small area left a smell. It wasn't bad per se, just... different.

As the song wound down, some familiar faces wandered their way through the crowd towards me. Oh thank Celestia... Already apparently accustomed to the song, Dyno and Astro worked their way through the crowd to my position.

At the same time I was profoundly in a stupor, the DJ had transitioned the mix to something else.

The gentle melody opened up, and I knew immediately what song it was. How coincidental... I thought to myself.

"All my friends, they're different ponies. Anxious like the ocean in a storm." I felt a shiver run up my spine. Whenever a song I really vibe with came on, it always felt like tingles ran up and down my body. The intensity of the music heightened this sensation even further.

"And why mess up a good thing baby? It's a risk to even fall in love... So when you give that look to me, I better look back and believe. Cause this is trouble, yeah this is trouble."

Before the drop hit (and I certainly wouldn't be able to hear him), Astro playfully hit me in the shoulder;

"How is it bro? Likin' it out here?"

I half-yelled back, "I guess. Berry was here but I lost her in the crowd. I'm glad you two came along."

"No problem bro. Just makin' sure you're gonna have a good time."

'Gonna have a good time?' What's that supposed to mean...

I passed off his statement as the beat dropped and the crowd rejoiced with energy.

Some songs had passed over the course of about an hour. During this time, Dyno had gone presumably to use the bathroom or get something to drink. Meanwhile, Astro had no problem exerting his fervor upon the mares around him. A mint-colored unicorn and a light cream colored earth pony with glow-stick necklaces and hoof-bands had found their way on him, and were getting very touchy. Astro always has been a go-getter when it came to this kind of stuff.

A red pegasus had made her way to me during this hour as well. We merely danced platonically for a bit before she seemed to have a plan. I mention that because I noticed she had started to make a move closer towards me, but I had to politely decline her advancement. I've read enough cheesy fan-fiction to know that things were bound to lead somewhere, especially in my intoxicated state, and I just didn't feel comfortable with that. She initially gave me a slight scowl, but danced her way off into the crowd once again. Unfortunately for me, Astro had noticed this. He excused himself from the two mares for a brief moment, and came up to me.

"Dude! That hottie was all up on you! Why did you push her away?" He yelled into my ear.

"I... I wasn't comfortable with it. I didn't want to do something I was gonna regret." I replied back.

"Ahh, I understand now." I knew exactly where he was going with this. He says this every time I either reject a mare in any way, or I don't notice advances. "I'll still be your friend dude, it's okay."

"Seriously? Stop saying this every time. I'm not-" I couldn't help but crack a smile as I knew exactly where this long-running joke he makes is going.

"It's fine if you swing for the other team bro."

"Astro, for the last time I'm-"

"We'll still love you either way."

I gave him a light shove away from me. "I'm NOT gay, Astro." He lifted his hooves in a defensive position.

"What ever you say bro."

I know he is joking when he says this, but in the back of my mind I always had the same thought. Do others really think I'm gay?

As my mind drifted through various other thoughts, a figurative glimmer caught my eye. I noticed Jetty making her way through the crowd. Jetty! Oh thank Celestia. She dance-pushed her way through the waves of ponies towards me, and separated Astro and me.

She seemed to sparkle under the neon and stage lighting. I had never seen anything like it before. Her eyes, her smile, her form. It was all so appetizing. I felt my vision blur for a moment as I tried to refocus. I blinked multiple times to moisten my eyes, only to come back to the same image. She gave me a sensual smile, unlike any other I had received prior. This one conveyed a message. What the message was, I was yet to find out.

She danced slow, and sweet Celestia did she know how to move. I became encapsulated by her fluidity. She was like a charmer with a flute and I was her snake. I felt my mouth hang slightly open as I was mesmerized by her movements. Just then, as if to place the cherry on top of my sensory sundae, the DJ mixed into the next song.

A quick, dry beat started, passing into a fuller rhythm. The opening lyrics filled the air as the song became familiar to me. Jetty seemed to enjoy it just as much, as she had closed her eyes and was now moving more sporadically as she emphasized her movements to the beat.

"I wanna da- I wanna dance in the lights. I wanna rock- I wanna rock your body. I wanna go- I wanna go for a ride. Hop in the music and rock yo' body right..."

It took a moment for me to really register the lyrics of the song, and just how provocative they were. Jetty looked me deeply, and I couldn't help but look back. She was a bit shorter than me, and the eye contact coupled with looking down at her was... well to be honest it was pretty hot.

She gently mouthed the words as she gave me half-lidded pupils. Is she flirting with me? I can't be imagining this, right? I felt a pony bump into my rear, and in reaction I craned my head to look. Oh, it was just a bump, no big dea-

I turned back to Jetty being very much closer than she was when I turned my head. My breath caught in my throat as I was becoming flustered at her proximity. I felt some of my coat stand on end as a shiver ran down my spine once again. This seemed to trigger a wave of the high once more, as I felt myself melt into her stare. Whatever effect Smokey's brownies were having seemed to be getting triggered by certain actions. Speaking of Smokey, where has he been? My thoughts of Smokey's whereabouts were cut short as I felt a hoof start at the base of my neck and slowly make its way down my chest. I froze and looked at Jetty wide-eyed. A bead of sweat formed on my brow, as the dancing and recent flustering had put my body into overdrive.

She finally broke her stare, and lowered her head by my right shoulder. I looked up from her when I noticed Astro some feet away. He tapped one of the mares next to him, and pointed in my direction. The unicorn giggled and subsequently notified the other mare Astro was with. The trio looked at me and I didn't really know what to do but stare back. Astro fell to his haunches, and proceeded to hoof-pump at me, with his mouth formed in an 'o'. Presumably, he was cheering me on from the metaphorical sideline. I rolled my eyes and smiled at his shenanigans. He said something along the lines of "Go Cali! You got this!" though I could be wrong as I obviously couldn't hear him. With a half-smile-half-snarl I mouthed the words back "Buck you", and gave him the middle feather with my left wing. He laughed, and turned back to his two mares.

Jetty stirred anew as I focused my attention back to her. She had the same expression as before, and just as sensual. I stared deeply into her eyes, lost in the circular chasms that were. I felt a strong euphoria as all the troubles and stress I held onto seemed to melt away. My face flushed as she moved her face even closer to mine. Mere inches separated our lips. A calming and familiar smell of cinnamon rolls entered my nostrils.Wow... she is so beautiful.... just one quick kiss and- I mentally slapped myself for my thoughts. I can't do that. She's my friend. A hot one at that.... To think I could just take her back home tonight and...GAHH, STOP IT! This is just Smokey's drugs talking. I don't really feel this way....

Do I?

The sound of a record scratch and mix into a quiet background beat caught Jetty and I's attention, as well as everypony around us. Over time we had migrated nearly front and center to the stage where the DJ was performing. I finally got a glimpse of who was behind the controls. An alabaster white unicorn with a bright blue mane and crazy shades manned the helm. Huh, not what I was expecting.

"Fillies and Gentlecolts," the mare spoke into a microphone, "I'd like to thank you all for coming out on this epic night. I had a blast being here, and I'm sure you all did too." The crowd gave a cheer that was slightly audible over the stereo system.

"To wrap this night up, I'd like to introduce a special guest with us tonight, here to perform one of his upcoming songs off his new album."

Huh, Smokey's got an album coming out soon too.

"He's straight outta Manehattan himself, and has made it to the top all on his own..."

That sounds familiar...

"Known for his hits such as 'Where I've Been' and 'I Made It'"

What the hay? Those are Smokey's songs.... Wait a second.... could it be?

"Welcome to the stage, Smokey Spark!" A roar erupted from the crowd as Smokey ran out from a cloud of fake smoke (and possibly some real smoke) and put the microphone to his mouth.

"What's up muthabuckaaaaaaasssss!"

Jetty and I turned to each other, with huge smiles.

"No way!" She hopped up and down with joy. "He's performing?! Why didn't he tell us?" I looked around Jetty towards Astro, who was looking back at us with a similar expression of awe and shock.

"This one dedicated to a special few a' you out there in the crowd tonight. Sorry I couldn't hang out more with ya, but this has been damn near the best night of my life. You know who you are. He lowered the microphone and gave a nod towards our general direction."

Jetty and I glanced at each other one more time before turning back and waving at him.

"Now if ya ready, DJ hit the track!"

The bass started thumping harder than it had been all night. The crowd of ponies on the dance floor hopped and danced to the rhythm. Jetty and I faced each other once again, and moved along to the song. Like many other of Smokey's songs, it was bound to be good.

"All the crazy shit I did tonight, those'll be the best memories. I just wanna let it go for the night, that will be the best therapy for me..."

It felt like he wrote this song specifically for tonight. Tonight truly would hold the best memories.

Everypony on the floor had gone all out for this song, and I thought I might as well join them. Jetty and I kicked it into high gear as we dropped any inhibitions we had still been holding. Out of no where, I got the urge to grab her and pull her close, which I promptly did. My mind was racing as I felt like I wasn't completely in control, but I didn't mind. I didn't mind one bit. We declined the intensity of our movements respectively as our faces came excruciatingly close together, just how they had been before the interruption. As I looked into the crystal orbs that were her eyes, her wings had unfurled, standing at attention. She blushed deeply, as did I.

It's now or never, Cali. Make your move.

I gave up trying to hold it back. I loved her. I cared for her. I truly did. I needed her. Now.

Smokey's lyrics echoed one final time in my mind.

All the crazy shit I did tonight...

With that, I plunged my face towards hers, and her lips met mine. I squeezed my eyes shut as tight as they could go, and focused solely on the feeling. I had not realized just how soft they would be in fact, and it caught me slightly by surprise. Everything from the pounding bass of the music, to the adjacent ponies bumping into me occasionally, seemed to fade from existence as my mind was on one thing and one thing only.

I savored her taste as her tongue poked at my lips, begging to be let in. I parted them slightly as she dug her way into me. I felt her exhale as she wrestled with my tongue. I can't believe this is happening...!!!!!

Through the whole fiasco, I had forgotten that I actually needed to breathe, so I pulled back, breaking the palpable passion that we shared. I inhaled deeply, her scent once again breaching my senses. I looked at her, slightly slack-jawed as the realization of my actions flooded me. My heart was racing harder than it ever had in my life, and I had been through some serious drills at flight camp when I was younger. The moment culminated with a mix of adrenaline and euphoria. If I had to pick one moment as the single best feeling of my life, it would be this one.

The beat of the music had quieted, and the crowd roared with applause as Smokey pumped his hoof into the air.

"Ya been a great crowd tonight, hope ya have a great night. PEACE!" With that, Smokey dropped the microphone and hopped off back behind the stage somewhere. With his exit, the DJ made one final announcement;

"Thank you everypony for coming to Cloud9 tonight. This has been one of the best crowds I've ever seen. Give yourselves a pat on the back, seriously. Now, the club will be closing by the end of the hour. Please make your way towards the exits and have a save trip home. Good night!"

The DJ pulled away from her booth as the lights in the club came to life. While not at all that bright in reality, it was still hellish against my dark-accustomed eyes. I covered my eyes for a moment as I blinked to help adjust my eyes. I was interrupted by a soft caress of my cheek by Jetty. She smiled warmly, and looked downward at her hooves, shuffling awkwardly.

"So..." She said quietly.

"Umm... heheh..." I chuckled nervously as well, unsure what to do next.

A savior from the awkwardness arrived, however. Unfortunately, it was Astro; and he had a huge grin on his face.

"THAT'S MY CALI RIGHT THERE!" He ran up to me and threw an arm over my shoulder, pinning me into a slight headlock. He rustled my mane a bit and let me go.

"Look at you!!!" He held his hoof up, signaling our signature hoofshake. I reciprocated.

"You scored yourself a real dime piece, I must say." He glanced over at Jetty, nodding. She replied by looking down like she had before, her ears falling slightly.

"Just glad it worked like a charm." He said.

"What?" I asked. "What worked like a charm?"

"Oh-uhhhh.... nothing!" He proceeded to take flight, hovering a bit over us, and hovering towards the top of the stairs by the lounge. I turned to Jetty, and she did nothing but shrug. We then both turned to follow the crowd filing out of the dance floor and towards the exit.

As we reached the top of the stairs, off towards our table in the lounge we spotted three of the four ponies from our group. Astro, Berry, and Dyno were stood facing our direction. The trio passed a few hoofbumps around before focusing back on Jetty and me.

"I'm so glad it worked!" Berry said to me.

"What worked? What are you guys talking about?" I looked around, but no answer came.

"Listen, we'll explain back at the apartment. I just want to congratulate you-" She looked to Jetty, "for finally showing him how you feel."

"Actually, he kissed me first." She said, turning her head to me.

"I'm so confused..." I admitted.

Suddenly, a familiar voice called to us from behind me.

"Ayo!"

It was Smokey, trotting towards us. He came behind Jetty and me and stuck his head between us.

"Did it work?" He asked.

"Yep." Berry replied.

"Aww, c'mere you two lovebirds." He pulled Jetty and me to him, giving an impromptu three-way hug.

"What worked? What plan are you guys talking about?!" I raised my voice. I really wanted to know what the hay was going on.

Berry took her turn to raise her voice. "Cali! I said we'll tell you when we get back to Smokey's."

I crossed my arms in defeat. "Fine. At least tell us this now then, Smokey."

"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US YOU WERE PERFORMING?"

"Yeah!"

"Right? Why didn't you tell us?"

Smokey raised a hoof to quiet the onslaught of questions.

"Aight, guys. Relax. I'll explain on the way home..."

Last Call

"...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...

Author's Note

I think you guys can guess what is coming next ;)

Final Stop: Love Tunnel

With that, she plunged in for another kiss.

I could get used to this...

Jetty wriggled ever so slightly, her supremely soft coat rubbing on mine. It was comparable to tussling with a cloud. Our tongues seemed to dance an ever-so-passionate waltz as our make out session continued. My hooves started to wander her body. She didn't seem to be as... sensitive as me. As I reached her wings, she suddenly broke the kiss.

"Looking for some wing play, eh?" She asked.

"I-I...uhh..." I stuttered.

"I wanna show you a good time tonight. Well, this morning. Whatever. Maybe next time you'll have your turn with me." She smiled coyly.

Wait... next time?

Before I could finish my thought, her hooves attacked my sides once again. I tried my hardest to quench the immediate panic that ensues when one is tickled, and nearly shoved her off me. However, I managed to keep my cool and tried to focus on the sensations. My wings had unfurled involuntarily. Jetty took this as an invitation to move to them.

"I'm gonna warn you now, this is gonna get intense." She said

"Like it wasn't before?" I replied.

"I know we're in a separate room now, but you still gotta keep it fairly quiet, alright?" She warned me.

"O-okay..." I said, meekly. She tapped my flank twice, and make a rolling motion with her hoof.

"Flip over." She commanded. I did not question what she had planned and rolled over. With wings still unfurled, and my back hooves hanging slightly off the bed, I felt quite vulnerable. I felt Jetty stand up and climb up onto the bed. She sat her haunches on my butt and kept her weight low, pinning my hips down onto the bed.

The instinctual panic of being pinned down rose once again as my heart rate skyrocketed. I took a deep breath to calm my nerves. I guess that was part of the charm of what she was doing. I felt a stirring in my loins, signalling the inevitable.

I felt a set of hooves grab my left wing and pull it upward slightly. With one hoof supporting it from the bottom, she took the other one and ran it up and down my primaries. I shuddered with fervor and sighed. This sensation was different from the previous, in a way. It was more relaxing and pleasurable than the others.

The firm but gentle tip of her hoof stroked through my feathers and followed the muscles of my wings. The gentle, massage-like feelings were soon faded when she took her hoof away. Suddenly, I felt a hot and wet sensation place itself on the top ridge of my wing. Jetty had sunk her mouth onto my wing, and started licking.

Holy Celestia was it ever sensitive! I squirmed under her weight, but to no avail. I clawed my way up the bed, but got no where. I felt her mouth suckle on the sensitive skin and cartilage of my wing, and felt helpless to stop it.

It was very much like when she had assaulted me with tickling earlier, but it was actually somewhat pleasurable. The mixed signals were scrambling my brain, as I went into overdrive.

"Jettyyy~..." I mumbled through heavy breath. Little did I know, she had one more surprise in store.

She lifted her oral grasp for a moment, giving me only seconds before she plunged back in. This time, on the main joint.

My whole body froze. My eyes shot open, showing my surprise. My back arched, and my wings strained as they spasmed uncontrollably. Mere seconds felt like hours as she suckled and licked on the joint.

An extremely strong shiver ran up my spine as I lost control of my being. With a rather...effeminate tone, I cried out.

"Aaah-AHHHH~!" I quickly plugged my mouth with a hoof to stop the lewd noise from continuing.

Jetty suddenly stopped her sensual assault, and I heard a stifled laugh come from her.

"W-what!?" I turned my head as best I could to eye her.

"Hahahaha! That was so adorable!" She giggled.

With a heavy blush of embarrassment, I barked back at her.

"S-shut up!"

Jetty lifted herself off of my back and stood over me.

"Alright, that's enough of that for now. Roll back over again."

I followed her command once again as I came face to face with her. What I hadn't noticed until now was my rather prominent erection now near her belly. She turned one-hundred and eighty degrees around, with her rear in full view for me. I came face to face with her glistening folds and perfectly puckered plothole. Her scent wafted ever so delicately into my nostrils, lighting my brain afire. Her pheromones sent my mind into overdrive. I felt my cock twitch in response. My attention was broken when I felt the tip of her hoof circle the head of my penis. I felt another shiver shoot up my spine.

"Hmm. Impressive. Where have you been hiding this when I'm around?" She turned her head to me and asked, seemingly impressed what I brought to the table. I felt my ego swell as the compliment registered in my mind.

"I-I... well I-" My breath caught in my throat as I felt her hot and wet tongue on the tip of my dick. My eyes clamped shut at even the admittedly minuscule action. She continued her tentative licks around my sensitive head as she coated my member in saliva. After a few moments, she stopped her oral activity and wiggled her hips in front of my face.

"Hey, I'm getting lonely here. I know it's your first time but you can't have all the fun here." She looked back at me with a snarky smile. I looked around her rump and met her gaze.

"Y-yeah. Right, okay." I put my hooves on her cutie marks and pulled my face close to her rear. I sort of just... stopped and admired it in a weird way. Clearly, Jetty felt my hesitation.

"D-dude. I can feel you staring through me from up here. I know you've seen enough porn to at least have some idea of what to do." she said. I pouted at her snarky comment, and brought my muzzle mere inches from her folds. With a quick motion, I stuck my face into her plump lips and took a rather sloppy but eager lick.

Immediately, I felt her hind legs tense up as her tail flicked upward. She let out a breathy gasp in response to the stimulation. I continued my licks slowly and rhythmically.

"There you go. Y-you got it ahh Cali." She seemed pleased with my actions, so I continued.

It was her turn to take me out of my concentration. Jetty took the entire head of my dick into her mouth. The heat and pressure was unlike anything I had felt before. I held back a moan as best I could as she started slowly bobbing her head up and down. I regained my composure and dipped my tongue back into her vagina.

As I spelunked deeper in her folds, the smell of her heat came forward even more. Normally, her mane would have smelled of assorted cinnamon baked goods. Deeper down on her, the smell was mixed with something new to me, but somehow also recognizable in a feral kind of way. I could feel her moaning at my work, and the vibrations only further enhanced the pleasure.

Over time, Jetty started letting more and more of my cock down her throat. She made it past halfway and was really going to town. The greater stimulation sent shivers up my spine. I stifled a moan into her crotch as I tried to keep myself from being too loud. Her technique was impeccable, at least to my ignorance. I, however, was not going to ask how she was so good at sucking me off.

Her smooth and slick movements were doing numbers on my stamina. I felt a pressure building in my loins as she pushed me closer and closer to release. Every fiber of my body was telling me to hurry up and 'release', but I knew that would be sorta disrespectful to simply finish without giving warning.

I found it harder and harder to keep the rhythm of my tongue going. My mouth had begun to fatigue at this point, and her deeper and deeper swallows weren't helping. I found myself breaking pace and panting as I nudged closer and closer to climax. My member started twitching, signaling Jetty that she had she should prepare for what was to come. The pressure was intense, both inside and outside.

"Jetty, I-I'm close..." I managed to utter through my wincing and breathy gasps.

She heeded my warning by transitioning to full length strokes. She dipped her head all the way down my shaft, touching her nose to my tightening balls. Up and down, she went from base to tip. The slick, constricting walls of her throat were becoming too much for me. I hesitantly moaned louder than I had before.

"Jetty... Jetty... I'm-I'm gonna cum!" It really felt weird saying that out loud, but it was only fair to give her a heads up.''

In response, she took one last long dip down my shaft, and held it there. I was very impressed at her lack of gagging with my member well down her gullet. Her finishing move was realized when she started swallowing, causing her throat to constrict and shift around my cock, and sucking on me hard, as if I was some sort of stallion soda. I felt my member start to twitch and the point of no return hit me. Hard.

I felt my body spasm as the orgasm hit me harder than it ever has before.

Jerking off ain't got nothin' on this!

My eyes slammed shut as my head fell back onto the bed. I felt my mouth wide open, but nothing had come out at the moment. Through my orgasm, I had inadvertently wrapped my hind legs nearly around her entire head, locking her in place. Rope after hot rope of my pent up load shot down her. One. Two. Three. Four. Five.

Whilst riding out my orgasm, I felt Jetty start to try to pull away. She jerked her head up, but was caught in place by my legs. I could feel her gagging and coughing as my intense ejaculation ended. I released my grip as my body went limp.

I basked in the afterglow, but only for a few seconds as I came to my senses. Jetty was coughing and basically hacking up a lung at the end of the bed.

"Oh my gosh, Jetty I'm so sorry! I-I got caught up in the moment and I-" She cut me off with a hoof to the lips.

"It's-cough it's fine, Cali. You just surprised me is all."

"Sorry..." I felt slightly embarrassed for not paying attention to her at all.

"I gotta say," She paused for a moment, "You let out quite a lot there. You did say it was your first time, so you must be pretty pent up, heh?" Jetty playfully hit my stomach.

"Heh...yeah. Two weeks." I replied, blushing.

"Jeez, sure seemed like it." She chuckled a bit. Jetty then continued her thought;

"Also, since we're on that topic; What you did was good, but I didn't finish." She said bluntly. My ears fell back in embarrassment. I tried my best to not look dejected.

"Hey hey hey," I felt a soft hoof place itself on my shoulder. "Look at me; You did fine. You were trying something new. Believe it or not, you're not the worst I've ever experienced."

I smiled and laughed softly.

"Just a hint for next time, focus on the clit more."

"Yeah... that makes sense. It was kind of hard to concentrate with how well you were, ya know, working me." I admitted.

She giggled and rolled her eyes. "How flattering."

"So uh, do you want me to continue?" I asked.

"Actually-" She took the tip of her hoof and trailed it down my body. "I was hoping to move on to the main course." She gave me hungry, seductive eyes. She wanted me inside. With one smooth, fell swoop she pushed me back onto the bed, and crawled atop me, face first this time. She laid herself on me and connected our lips. The passion that had been there since the beginning reemerged in a new light as she dipped her tongue between my lips. I gladly let her in. As she started working her mouth, she starting working her hips. Jetty started to grind her body on me.

Her wet pussy slid up and down my currently deflated member. Not long after however, my erection started to return.

"Well, well. Ready to go again already?" She smirked at me.

"When I've got the most beautiful mare in the world on top of me, yeah." I replied.

Well that was pretty smooth, heh?"

This time, it was her turn to blush and avert her gaze. Jetty lifted her body slightly and hovered over my crotch. With a soft touch, she directed my dick towards her slick opening.

"Are you ready for the ride of your life?" She said seductively.

With little hesitation I replied, "Yes, I am."

With that, she lowered her body and touched the tip to her slicked folds. I could feel her heat on my erection, and boy was it hot! As I pressed into her, I felt a small pang of adrenaline rush through me.

It's about to happen... oh my Celestia...

With that, she plunged in, taking the whole length of my dick in her. My senses were almost blinded by the sudden sensation. My eyes widened and mouth fell agape, completely caught off guard at just how good it felt. A huge shiver ran up my spine, causing my wings to unfurl once again. The tightness and the heat combined with the minute movements of her body seemed to be amplified tenfold.

"H-holy shit." She gasped through bated breath. "I almost came just there. Oh my..."

Her vagina was so wet from earlier, that she basically fell on my dick. Jetty slowly lifted her body once more, leaving about half of my shaft out in the cool air. She dropped herself back down with force, our hips making a muffled slapping sound. Suddenly, I felt her walls grip me tight, as she let out a long, sultry moan. If I didn't know any better, I'd say I could feel her rushing heartbeat through her insides.

Her body collapsed onto me, surprising me. She still had her eyes clenched shut and was panting heavily. Without even looking, she forced her lips to mine, going hog wild on my tongue. A few moments later, she broke the nearly uncomfortably forceful kiss and looked at me.

"F-fuck me..."

"Well, that was the plan."

"F-fuck off..." She chuckled. "That was the hardest I've came in quite a while. Wow."

I felt a swell of pride as her sort-of compliment registered in my mind. I didn't really do anything, but hey, I'll take it.

As she recovered, a devious idea popped into my head.

"Are you good now?" I asked.

"Yeah, I think so. I- ahh!" I grabbed her and lifted myself off the bed, and rolled her onto her back, with me now on top, still deep inside.

"Well look at you, taking initiative." She quipped. "Rut me, fuck me. Make me yours~." Her words hit a deep part in my mind, seemingly previously locked within. A surge of animalistic action took hold of me, and put me in auto-pilot. I slid most of my dick out of her, coated heavily in her juices. I then took my own plunge into her snatch. The wet plop of our bodies making contact rang in my ears. She was my mare, and I was her stallion. Now it was my time to prove it.

Repeating my motions, I thrusted my hips, sliding in and out of her tight pussy over and over. I started slowly, making sure we both were ready for the crescendo of speed later on. For as long as I had been submerged in her, the tightness and warmth never seemed to get old. Every sensation was just as powerful, if not more than the last. Her breathy moans were the next thing to register to my ears. I knew I was succeeding so far, but it was far from over.

As moments passed, my thrusts had become harder and faster. Our harmonious moans and groans of pleasure filled the room. I had neglected the fact that we were still in Smokey's apartment filled with our friends. By this point, I had said 'fuck it', and kept going.

"C-cali~... don't stop... I'm so close again..." Jetty managed to peep from her writhing state.

I, too, had grown close to orgasm. The familiar pressure started to grow within my loins, and the urge only kept me going. Despite the burning of the fatigued muscles begging me to stop or slow, I pressed on, the pleasure overriding any urge to quit. Not only that, I couldn't disappoint Jetty like that either.

"Ahh.. ahhh..AHHH~!" Jetty moaned loudly, wrapping her forelegs around me, pulling me close to her. The vise-like grip of her insides as she came was enough to push me to the edge. The tip of my penis flared as I sprayed her walls like a graffiti artist on a fresh building. Undoubtedly this as the hardest I had ever came in my life. My ears started ringing as I clenched my jaw tight. The only noise I could make was a shrill hissing, as forced breath exited my mouth. What I hadn't noticed up until this point was Jetty biting down on my neck.

Our orgasms had started to subside, and her grip on me both above and below started to let go. My orgasm had been so intense in fact, I started feeling light-headed. If I didn't lie down now I was surely going to pass out. Jetty's chest was now heaving from her heavy breathing. I fell down beside her, breathing heavily myself.

Only a few moments of silence passed when I turned to her. She looked back at me too.

"That... was the greatest thing EVER." I smiled at her.

"Yeah, it really was." She paused, her eyes widening as she look down at my neck. "Ah, shit." she said.

"What? What's wrong?" I asked, sitting up quickly.

"I drew blood on you." She said, with a tone of embarrassment.

I lifted my hoof to the spot on my neck where I knew she had bitten me (whether on purpose or not) earlier. I looked at the frog of my hoof, now covered in my blood.

"Oh, it's no big deal really-"

"No, that looks pretty bad, let me get a washcloth from the bathroom." Getting up swiftly, Jetty walked into the on-suite bathroom. After some fiddling noises and a few moments later, she returned with a damp washcloth. Gently, she wiped the area on my neck that had been pierced.

"I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to-" It was my turn to interrupt her.

"Hey, it's fine." I took her hoof in mine. "You seemed like you were quite enjoying yourself so I didn't want to ruin it."

She blushed, giggling at my statement.

"Yeah." She said. "I was."

She finished wiping the last traces of my blood and sat back up.

"I'm gonna go clean up in the bathroom, then let's get to bed. It's already..." She looked around the room, and found a clock sitting on the nightstand. "3:22!" She read with surprise. "Fuck me, we need to sleep soon or we're never gonna get up in the morning." I nodded in agreement. Jetty soon returned to the bathroom.

I decided that I might as well clean myself up a little as well. I found a box of tissues next to the previously discovered clock, and used a hoof full to clean off my limp shaft. Tossing the now used tissues in the trash can nearby, I hopped under the covers of the bed, using it for the first time as it was intended.

Jetty soon returned, and crawled under the covers with me. The natural moonlight from the window, which had previously illuminated our romp, now bathed us in a relaxing atmosphere. Jetty slid closer to me, her back facing my direction. I wrapped my legs around her, basking her in my warmth.

"I love you, Cali." Jetty mumbled out of nowhere.

I paused, my breath getting caught in my throat.

"I-I love you too, Jetty." In some ways, it felt weird saying that to somepony that wasn't like a relative. I had never done it before. But in many more ways, it felt so right.

We both relaxed into each other's bodies as we nearly drifted off to sleep. However, my brain decided now was the best time to ask-

"J-Jetty?" My voice wavered, and Jetty heard my concerned tone.

"What? What's wrong?" She turned her head so she could somewhat see my face.

"...you're not going to get pregnant, are you?" It had just registered that I had cum straight in her, no condom or anything.

"Oh..shitohshitohshit..." Her voice raised in a panicked manner. I sat up quickly, staring at her with wide eyes.

She looked back at me, only to start laughing at me.

"W-what?!" My voice cracked slightly as my heart rate was climbing to an all time high.

"No dude, I'm kidding. I'm on the pill, don't worry. Plus, I'm not even in heat."

I breathed probably the biggest sigh of relief of my life.

I pushed her away from me, slightly laughing at the admittedly good prank she just pulled. "Don't fucking do that to me." I pressed myself back onto her, and closed my eyes. Nuzzling into her mane, I took a whiff, only to be greeted by the all too familiar scent of cinnamon.

With that, I fell asleep.

Here it is - the part all of you have been waiting for! Also, the conclusion to the story.

I'm thinking of making a series with these pones in different scenarios. Not sure yet. :rainbowhuh:

Edit: 4/29/19 SORRY FOR TAKING SO LONG TO FINISH THIS CHAPTER!!!!

School, life, etc. I just never had inspiration to write much. Now I'm (hopefully) back and going to finish this story once and for all.

Epilogue

A soft pillar of light shining in my eyes awoke me from what was probably the greatest sleep I've ever had. The warmth basking over me felt unfathomably good, as I was lacking the heat from my cuddle buddy. Hesitantly, I stirred, throwing the blanket off of me to the side. Focusing my vision, I checked the clock.

12:33

"Aww...shit."

I rushed up and out of bed, stumbling slightly. Just before I reached the door, I felt a sensation from down below. Not one of pleasure, but urgency. One lengthy emptying of the bladder left me at the sink washing my hooves.

Not long after I came face to face with myself in the mirror. My own green orbs piercing back as if to say, 'This is me. Look at what I can do, world!', and it was true. What some may call a dream, what some may call a fear, I conquered it. I sealed the deal with the mare I never even realized I loved. I have a marefriend now. This is the start of something great...

After a few daft attempts to liven up my bed-mane, I said 'fuck it' and left the bathroom with a swagger I had yet to ever possess.

The soft click of the door opening followed my turn of the handle. Exiting the room, I approached the living room down the hall, which was filled with the sound of soft chatter, and what I believed to be the television on in the background.

Rounding the corner, I came into view of the group. On the full couch sat Dyno and Astro, on the loveseat was Jetty, and Berry was still on the single chair. For all I know, she could've been there from last night still. Upon making eye contact, Astro jumped up and nearly tackled me to the ground.

"MY MAN!" Astro yelled, wildly shaking me back and forth. "He diiiid iiiit!"

Thankfully, he released me before he caused me a concussion.

"Heh, yeah. We uhh-... did it." I rubbed the back of my neck, not expecting the awkward congratulation. Turning my sight to Jetty, she met my gaze, then looked away.

"I take it you told them all about it then?" I said with snarky intonation.

Jetty looked at me with surprise, almost offense.

"What? No, of course not! They kept prodding me for an answer and I let it slip...sorry." She smiled sheepishly.

Out the corner of my eye I noticed a face pop out from the kitchen. None other than Smokey.

"Ayyy, sleepyhead is awake. How'd ya sleep? Ha! We all know much sleepin' wasn't happ'nin between ya." He said.

"Alright," I announced, raising a hoof. "We get it, you guys figured out."

A voice piped up from the solo chair: "Oh, we didn't just probe her for the answer." Berry said, throwing her head at Jetty. "We knew well before either of you got up."

Now it was Dyno's turn to put in his two cents.

"Yeah, you guys weren't as quiet as you thought you were." He gave a surprisingly sincere smile.

My face flushed hard as I imagined them being awoken in the middle of the night by our romp. I tried to cover my face as best as possible to avoid the embarrassment, but Smokey had wrapped an arm around me.

"Don't worry man, we're just pullin' ya leg. Glad ya had fun." A double-tap of his hoof on my chest confirmed his genuineness. "I'm sure ya hungry from all the...activity. We ordered pizza for lunch, as I frankly have no food in this god damn place. Dig in!" Smokey let me go, and pointed a hoof at pizza boxes I had yet to notice on the table. I had yet to also notice that I was in fact, very hungry. Running around the table, I was about to seat myself next to Astro and Dyno on the couch, until I remembered Jetty was alone on the smaller two-pony couch. Taking a slice in my hoof, I parked my rear on the cushion. Smokey quickly followed and took the empty seat on the full-size couch.

Smokey lifted his own piece of pizza with his magic, and cleared his throat.

"To the cute new couple." He flashed a devilish grin, and laughed. We dinked our pieces together, and took a bite.

I don't care if this pizza is cold, this is the best fucking thing EVER.

Jetty leaned over and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I couldn't help but blush slightly again. I wiped my mouth with a hoof swiftly and took her in for a full smooch on the lips. Just as soft as I remember...

Astro couldn't help but start 'woo'-ing. I swear to Celestia I'm gonna kill him one day...

Still in the kiss, I flipped Astro the middle-feather, followed by the room filling with laughter. I broke the kiss, and looked deep into Jetty's eyes. No words needed, we both conveyed the same message to each other.

I love you.

"So," Smokey said, raising the television remote in his magic. "What's on TV?"
