As the Cutie Mark Crusaders come of age, they get the chance to travel across Equestria and the lands beyond to rekindle old friendships, and just maybe, find something more.

It was the tradition for young adult ponies to travel around Equestria before they settled down into their jobs. The Cutie Mark Crusaders never expected Celestia's help in fulfilling the tradition. Celestia even sent them a set of notes and photos from their old friends. Their old friends are looking very nice after all these years. Scootaloo, Apple Bloom, and Sweetie Belle can't help but wonder if old friendships might turn into something more as they begin their journey.

Prologue: A Chance to Enjoy Themselves

Scootaloo tried to squeeze in next to Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle in their old clubhouse. They’d decided that when the letter came, they’d open it where their little club had met so many times before it grew and grew over the years. And now the letter was here.

They had become young adults, so the clubhouse was much smaller with the three of them in it, but they squeezed together as Sweetie Belle waved the letter in the air with her magic.

Apple Bloom reached for it.

“Come on! Open it.”

It flew away from her reach. Sweetie Belle booped Apple Bloom on the nose.

“We’re going to read this all at once. Ready?”

The letter came to a stop at eye level. Scootaloo hugged against her two friends to get in closer.

The paper flap lifted and began to slowly tear open. They’d been waiting months for this. They’d sent the proposal to Celestia after they had Twilight check it over a few times. Now they’d finally know if their plans for funding cutie mark camps and conventions across Equestria would come true.

The regal piece of paper floated out. Scootaloo began to read it. Celestia’s writing was strong yet elegant.

My dearest little ponies,
After hearing so much about you from Twilight and her friends, I was overjoyed to receive your proposal to spread the magic of your little group across Equestria. We have agreed to issue you an expense account to cover the travel, food, materials, and location rentals. As part of this, you’ll be required to report on your use of these funds. Details can be found in the legal papers.

I look forward to hearing great things about the Cutie Mark Crusaders across Equestria and maybe even beyond.

PS: I thought it would be even better to prepare you for the hard work of your future jobs by sending a little of my own funds. It’s customary for ponies who come of age to do a little traveling before settling down with their jobs. Take the enclosed note to any bank, and they’ll get you the bits you need. Use this time wisely. Visit and reconnect with the friends you’ve already helped. I’m sure they’ll inspire you in your work in ways you can’t expect.

Always a friend,
Princess Celestia

Sweetie Belle was already watching Scootaloo as she finished reading it over. Apple Bloom took a little longer, but the three of the squealed in excitement.

Scootaloo tapped the letter with a hoof. “This is way more awesome than what we were expecting!”

“I guess it’s our last big break,” Apple Bloom said. “Before we work hard travelin’ across Equestria to help with cutie marks everywhere.”

Sweetie Belle flipped through the other papers in the envelope. “Uh, let’s see how much Celestia gave us.”

Her eyes went wide as she saw the amount.

Scootaloo leaned in to look and her jaw dropped. Apple Bloom joined them a moment later.

“Why… with this…” Apple Bloom sputtered. “We could go all the way around Equestria and still have some to spare.”

Sweetie Belle nodded. “I suppose the princess didn’t want us to have to worry about money while we travel.”

A handful of colorful rectangles fell out of the stack of papers that Sweetie Belle was holding up. Scootaloo looked down and noticed they were a bunch of pictures held together with a rubber band. A little note was on top of the stack.

I had each of your old friends write a little note and send me a picture. I hope you can visit them all.

It had the same handwriting as the letter, so it had to be from Celestia. Scootaloo set it aside and looked at the first picture.

A very handsome hippogriff was on it. He was tall and starting to fill out in the chest the way the hippogriff males tended to, but he still had a sexy leanness to him. Scootaloo smiled as she eyed his smooth feathers and nice muscles. His white feathers and messy seafoam-colored mane and tail looked very familiar.

“Is that Terramar?” Sweetie Belle asked.

Scootaloo nodded. “It is. He’s looking very nice.”

She felt a little guilty looking, but the photo was taken at an angle that showed just a hint of his sheath and balls under his fluffy belly. Scootaloo blushed as Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle stared at the picture and at her. She turned it over.

Hey Cutie Mark Crusaders!

It’s hard to believe how a few years have gone by so quickly, but I still remember when you came to help me out. My father got my a job as a naval scout, so now I look out for danger in the sky and the sea. I feel so natural switching between the two. I heard you might be able to come for a visit, so I’d be glad to show you the best of both worlds when you get here.

Your friend,
Terramar.

Sweetie Belle gave Scootaloo a knowing smile. “Maybe it’s time to reignite that old crush you had on him.”

“Come on.” Scootaloo snorted. “It was just on the train ride home.”

“But you wouldn’t stop talking about how cute he was at least for a day or two. And now he’s even more handsome.”

Scootaloo’s wings spread as she turned even more red.

Apple Bloom put a hoof over her back. “We could always borrow the sex ed books from Twilight’s school. Those had a thing or two to say about hippogriffs.”

Scootaloo’s friends laughed as she tried to fold her wings back down. She took a deep breath and finally managed to feel less flustered.

“Do you think he’d… do that with a pony?”

Sweetie Belle nodded. “I think so. Rarity’s books on romance always say it’s all about dropping the right hints. Being too forward scares any decent stallion away. If you want to give it a try, we’ll back you up.”

“But what about you two?”

Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle smiled as they went through the rest of the pictures. Gabby, Babs Seed, and plenty of their other friends who no longer lived in Ponyville were on the photos, and now they had the time and money to visit all of them and see just what might happen as they reconnected. Scootaloo looked back down at the photo of Terramar and felt flustered again. Celestia had said to reconnect with old friends, so she couldn’t blame them if they got to doing what young adult ponies liked to do.

Author's Note

My goal is to post updates on Mondays and Saturdays until I reach the end of part 1. I hope you'll all have fun with this!

Terramar, Part 1

With so many choices, it was hard to pick the first place to go. They put all the pictures in a basket and pulled one out without looking. Apple Bloom pulled out Terramar’s picture, so it was decided that they’d start their journey by heading south.

The train ride through the hot desert would have been miserable without magic cooling the train, and now they were stopped at Klugetown. They stayed on the train but watched out the window as a few ponies and other creatures disembarked. The town was much nicer now than it had been a few years ago, but it still had a certain shady side to it that it might not ever be rid of.

If the stop had been any longer, they would have went on their own little adventure through the city, but the train only paused to let off the passengers and unhitch some cargo cars. It would pick up more passengers and cargo on the way back.

Scootaloo ordered a daisy sandwich as the whistle sounded for passengers to Mt. Aris to begin boarding. A surprising number of hippogriffs boarded with the new group of passengers. A young hippogriff family entered their train car a moment later.

Two little foals ran playfully down the aisle until the young mother scolded them and made them sit stiffly in their seats. The stallion entered a moment later. He wasn’t the same colors as Terramar and didn’t look nearly as regal and strong, but looking at his muscular chest and wings gave Scootaloo a good taste of what she’d be seeing in person with her old friend once they arrived later that day. A hoof poked her in the side. It was Apple Bloom.

“I know you’re eager, but if you stare at that stallion much longer, they’ll probably think we’re being rude or strange.”

“Yeah, sorry about that. I’m just nervous.”

“Just relax. It’s best to just let these things happen like they’ll happen.”

“But what if he thinks I look strange?”

“Come on. You train with Rainbow Dash all the time. You look perfect. I bet there’s not a young pegasus around that’s as sleek and fast as you are.”

They both blushed as they looked at each other.

“We could always do your mane,” Sweetie Belle said. “But I feel like Terramar will like you more if you just go with your natural style.”

Scootaloo fluttered her wings and smiled to break through her nervousness. She borrowed a mirror from Sweetie Belle to look herself over. Her wings were still small. She had worked so hard with Rainbow Dash to try to train them to fly, but the best she could ever do was some very fancy tricks while gliding.

She put her wings down before looking at the rest of herself more carefully. Her thick tail and messy mane looked fine today. She never really spent long on them. After what Apple Bloom said, she did notice her lean muscles standing out, especially on her flanks.

Terramar had looked very fit in the picture, so she hoped that’s what he’d like to see, too. It was too late to really change much, so Scootaloo just took a deep breath and tried to relax.

“I’ll be fine. Maybe… to pass the time, let’s look over the book we borrowed from Twilight’s school one more time.”

Apple Bloom pulled it out of her bag and flipped to the page on hippogriffs before handing it to Scootaloo.

“There’s also a page on what they’re like as seaponies,” Apple Bloom said. She hoofed to the next page to show Scootaloo.

“Really?”

Scootaloo blushed and tilted the book so other passengers would have trouble seeing it. A detailed sketch of a seapony stallion filled one page while a mare filled the other. Below the two was a drawing of their more intimate parts, but the drawings were pretty basic. Scootaloo sighed and tried to imagine what Terramar would look like underwater, but she was still having a bit of trouble picturing it, even with the book’s help.

The train started to pull away from the station. The winding coastline track led to the final bridge before the station at Mt. Aris.

Scootaloo shut the book. She didn’t want to get the seat wet by getting too excited. Instead, she still needed a plan.

“So, what should I do when we meet him?” she asked.

The rest of the short ride was spent coming up with the perfect approach. Even if things went horribly wrong, Scootaloo felt great because she had the best friends in the world to back her up.

Scootaloo stepped off the train first. She was feeling confident, and she wanted to show it. Apple Bloom followed on her left and Sweetie Belle on her right.

“We’ll take the luggage to the bed and breakfast and get settled in,” Apple Bloom said. “That should leave you plenty of time to find Terramar and see whether he’s interested.”

Sweetie Belle giggled and pushed the cart with a bit of magic. “We’re just a block away from Harmonizing Heights. This is going to be amazing!”

The two scampered off quickly. The long train ride had left them all with a lot of restless energy, and Scootaloo was feeling it even more now that she was so close. They had sent some letters to Terramar to let him know they’d be coming. He said to come find him at the docks when they got there.

Scootaloo’s wings fluttered as she became more and more excited. Her hoofs thumped on the solid wood of the docks. She looked around at the different boats anchored nearby. The waves crashing on the rocky shore made the air smell like salt. She was trying to decide which boat Terramar might be on when she heard a voice in the sky above her.

“Scootaloo! You’re here!”

Terramar landed in front of her a moment later. They both looked at each other awkwardly for a moment before he patted her on the shoulder and smiled. He was even better than the photos. His white plumage caught the sunlight as he stood tall. He was more than a head taller than Scootaloo, but she had grown into the lean, compact frame that most pegasi mares had. Terramar was much broader in the chest and shoulders, and the one good thing about being shorter than him was how easy it was to catch a glimpse of his fluffy sheath and balls hanging down between his back legs. She was very tempted to stare at them.

“Terramar! It’s been so long. You’re looking great. You’ve become quite the stallion.”

Scootaloo blushed at her forward comment. Terramar laughed nervously and scratched at the back of his neck.

“Um… thank you. It’s nice to be complimented by such a cute mare. Where are your friends?”

“They went to check in at where we’re staying. I wanted to see you again first. We could always grab them something for dinner as we walk up the mountain.”

Scootaloo turned and lifted her tail without meaning to because of her excitement. As she glanced back at Terramar, she saw his eyes drift to her exposed flanks. He looked away quickly with a momentary look of guilt.

“Ah your… I better go tell my commander I’m taking off. You get started and I’ll catch up.”

Scootaloo swished her tail back and forth a few times before putting it back down.

“Just don’t take too long.”

Terramar flew to one of the nearby ships. It was smaller and looked built for speed. Scootaloo cantered off toward the mountain path. Her little hints seemed to be working well so far. She made her way through the crowded market near the train station and started up the mountain path when Terramar caught back up to her. He landed and matched her stride.

“Ah, I’m looking forward to relaxing with you and your friends. I don’t get much time off in my new position, but it’s a great honor to be serving in the queen’s navy.”

“That does sound like it would keep you busy. You already heard about our trip to see old friends. A lot of ponies travel a bit when they come of age. We’ll be busy running our Cutie Mark Crusader stuff all across Equestria after we head home.”

“A trip sounds nice. I travel a lot with the navy. We sometimes have fun, but it’s mostly hard work. When I do have time off, I usually relax around here. Dad and Mom keep saying that I should be looking for a nice hippogriff mare, but I haven’t found the right one yet.”

Scootaloo accidentally bumped flanks with him as she stepped up the stairs. She blushed. He really was very solid under his fluffy feathers.

“Does it have to be a hippogriff? It’s not so bad to be open to possibilities.”

Terramar sputtered over his words. “Um… if you’re getting tired of the stairs, why don’t I fly you the rest of the way?”

“I’d appreciate that. Just don’t tire yourself out too much. We were planning on having plenty of fun with you later.”

“Don’t move around too much after I’m holding you.”

Scootaloo crouched low. She waited for him to stand behind her. She felt his feathers brush against her back and had to hold back a pleased sigh. She was tempted to lift her flanks and brush against other parts, but Sweetie Belle had said not to go too fast. It was better to make it seem like little accidents.

Terramar’s strong front legs wrapped around her and pulled her against his fluffy chest. She flicked her tail just enough to feel it brush against the sheath she wished she could rub her flanks against.

“Feeling nervous or excited? Try not to tickle me so much with your tail, or I may have to land for… well.. For propriety.”

He looked at her and gave her a little wink. She blushed and smiled. He was finally playing off her little hints. She tucked her tail down to avoid giving him a mid-flight erection. She gasped as he kicked off the ground and pulled her into the air. Even with her weight, he flew with ease. He spread his wings out and found a nice updraft to ride toward the top of Mt. Aris.

“I learned how to glide. When we’re high enough, you can let me go!”

Scootaloo had to shout to be heard over the wind. They circled above the mountain and Terramar loosened his grip before letting her go. She fluttered her small wings then stretched them out. It gave her just enough lift to glide. Terramar flew next to her. He stayed close enough to catch her if anything went wrong.

Scootaloo aimed for the main road as she quickly lost altitude. She came down fast and hard and had to land in a gallop before slowing down. Terramar landed behind her a moment later. She caught her breath as they walked through the crowded hippogriff city.

“We’re at the bed and breakfast by Harmonizing Heights.”

“I’ve heard that one’s good. If you had asked sooner, I could have tried to get you a room at the palace.”

“We wanted somewhere a little more quiet and private, especially since we might be up late if we can find something to do.”

“The stargazing from the peak is amazing. Maybe we could go there tonight.”

“I’d like that.”

“Just bring some blankets. It gets cold.”

“It’s a date… er, deal!”

They made a left before reaching harmonizing heights. Scootaloo scolded herself in her head for slipping up as they walked down the street. When she looked up, she saw that they were already at their destination.

The bed and breakfast was built around and in a tree. It had the elegant glass and woodwork that the hippogriffs liked in this part of town. The walls were painted in a nice green color with a little gold paint on the windows. One of the side doors opened and Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom stepped out.

“Over here!” Apple Bloom shouted.

“We ordered some dinner. Let’s eat before it gets cold.”

Author's Note

So begins the fun with Terramar! Expect about 3 parts for him.

And if you'd enjoy seeing any characters that have a connection to any of the CMCs in future story sections, feel free to let me know. I have my own ideas for some fun pairings and situations, but I'd also love to hear your ideas.

Terramar, Part 2

Scootaloo and her friends spent dinner with Terramar catching up on everything that had happened over the last few years. They had plenty of stories to tell about all the crazy things that happened in Equestria and Ponyville. Terramar told of his own adventures from his travels across and under the seas. With so much to catch up on, time went by quickly. As the sun began to set, they gathered together a bundle of snacks and blankets.

Terramar led the way as they hiked up to a place with a great view of the ocean surrounding Mt. Aris. The setting sun lit up the mountain and ocean with its golden light. It reached the horizon and set the sea in brilliant oranges and reds before it slipped beneath the waves. It was a stunning sight and took Scootaloo’s mind off what she had been thinking about the rest of the day. As the sun disappeared, she felt relaxed.

They spread out a blanket and Terramar started to set up a telescope as they waited. Scootaloo snuggled with Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle under the blanket while the three of them watched Terramar fiddle with the telescope. Her friends were warm. It reminded her of all the sleepovers she’d had with them, including the embarrassing ones where they had finally decided to explore in the ways mares sometimes did together.

Sweetie Belle nuzzled the sensitive spot under Scootaloo’s wing. Scootaloo giggled as it made her wings stick straight out.

“Terramar’s giving us quite the view while setting that up,” Sweetie Belle whispered. “I think he’s doing it on purpose. Whatever you did earlier must have worked.”

Scootaloo had been distracted, but she watched Terramar more closely. He bent low but left his flanks up high as he leaned under the telescope. He lifted his tail enough to give a nice view of his fluffy white balls and sheath. He adjusted something on the telescope. He looked up at Scootaloo and smiled before doing the same thing on the other side of the telescope. As he did, his tip slid just a few inches out from his sheath, revealing a nice pink cock.

Scootaloo squeezed her flanks together. The sight of it was making her wet. A sudden hoof on her flank made her look away.

“You always get tense when excited,” Apple Bloom said. “But I can see why. We could always try for a foursome.”

Scootaloo blushed.

“Maybe once we get him going,” Sweetie Belle whispered.

Terramar finished his adjustments and looked back at them. “I hope you saved room for me.”

“We saved you a spot right here.” Apple Bloom patted the spot next to Scootaloo.

Terramar laid on his back and pulled the blanket over himself. Scootaloo tried to relax as his warm body and soft feathers brushed against her. Her heart fluttered as she imagined what she had seen just a moment ago. She was sure it was nestled softly against Terramar’s belly, but he was holding the blanket in such a way as to hide any bulge down there.

Scootaloo was snapped out of her thoughts by a masculine chuckle. Terramar had been watching her as she looked him over and daydreamed about him. He leaned in to whisper.

“Most like to watch the first stars come out. But I don’t mind you watching me even if I’d be a little embarrassed to put on much of a show.”

Scootaloo couldn’t think of what to say next. She felt paralyzed. She was on her back next to her friend who also happened to be one of the sexiest and cutest hippogriff stallions, and she couldn’t decide what to do next.

He put his front leg behind her and smiled.

“I don’t mind snuggling, if that’s what you want.”

Scootaloo had to keep her wings still as she allowed him to pull her closer. From here, she could smell him. She rolled closer until she nuzzled his neck. He had a wonderful scent. It was refreshing and reminded her of the ocean breeze but was more earthy and sweet. Her heart was racing and her mouth felt dry, but she worked up the courage to ask her next question.

“What if I want to do more than just snuggle?”

Terramar blushed and ran his claws softly along her fluffy chest. Scootaloo trembled. The claws felt perfect as they combed through her fur. Terramar did it again and smiled.

“I’ve never really considered… that. But it’s what you’ve been hinting at all day, isn’t it? What exactly are you looking for from me? I do have certain duties as someone related to the royal family. And what about your friends?”

Scootaloo looked over her shoulder. Both Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle were pretending to be more interested in the stars as they appeared, but Scootaloo knew they had been watching her.

“I’ll admit something. They want me and you to… uh… well, they just want to see us happy. And I was just hoping to... to try things out with you. No commitment to marriage or a family.”

“I have my own confession. I’ve wanted… to do something like this badly. To try things out. I’ve never done more than pleasure myself. But I’ve been wanting a friend to show me more. I was too self-conscious to ask any hippogriff. But with you… could I, umm...”

Scootaloo sighed in relief. The nervous tension seemed to be gone, and the tension that replaced it seemed much more playful and promising. He wouldn’t reject her, but she might have to teach him a thing or two. She had a little experience with some young stallions, although she had more experience exploring with her friends. She knew enough to have some good ideas for what she wanted to do.

“It’s your lucky night, Terramar.” Scootaloo rubbed his chest in slow circles. “And you’re lucky you’re so strong and handsome.”

She slid her hoof to his belly. She tried to go lower, but he grabbed her hoof.

“If we’re going to do this… I need to know that no hippogriffs are watching. Umm… sorry to ask this… but Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom, could you be on the lookout for any hippogriffs wandering too close?”

Sweetie Belle nodded and picked up her blanket. “I’ll watch from over here, and Apple Bloom can go over there. You two might want to move under that tree so it’s harder to see you.”

Apple Bloom followed Sweetie Belle and the two took their posts nearby. Scootaloo could see that they were close enough to watch but far enough to be easily ignored once things got a bit more exciting. Scootaloo picked up her blanket and laid it out by the tree. Terramar did the same. They had plenty of space.

Scootaloo laid on her back again. She stretched her legs out enough to give Terramar a glimpse of her wet folds in the dim moonlight. She also got a nice view of Terramar from this angle. He walked with the slow and awkward motion of a stallion at half mast. She could see his shaft hanging down. A drop of pre hit the ground and Scootaloo couldn’t help but giggle.

“Ah, there, now we can just focus on us,” Terramar said as he sat next to her.

He blushed and had to pull back his wings from covering the view his hardening shaft. He pulled Scootaloo in for a quick kiss.

Scootaloo could feel the warmth of him against her and the kiss left her wanting more. She hugged him and kissed him again as she pressed against his belly and cock. She could feel it. It was long and hard against her soft belly and left a trail of pre in her coat.

Terramar gasped as his shaft flared. Scootaloo paused to look at it. It was much like a pony’s cock except it was a bit longer and thinner with a rougher texture on the end than a pony’s. She brushed a hoof along it and Terramar moaned softly.

“You seem very pent up,” Scootaloo said.

She slowly explored every inch of Terramar’s length with her soft hooves. She concluded with a little tug at his sheath and a playful rubbing of his balls.

“Ohh! This is so much more intense than when I do things to myself.”

“It’ll only get better. Your first lesson is that it’s good to give a mare some time to get nice and excited. I’ve been wanting this all day, so that’s the easy part. Mmm… I have an idea. It’ll make you last a bit longer when we get to the best parts.”

Scootaloo slid down until she was face to face with Terramar’s shaft. It seemed so much bigger now that it was right in front of her. It had Terramar’s delicious scent with a stronger hint of the enticing musk that all stallions had. She leaned in and gave the tip a lick.

Several drops of pre dripped onto Scootaloo’s tongue. His flavor was saltier than she expected, but she wanted more. She rubbed her lips and mouth along the lengthy cock in front of her. Terramar moaned as his wings fluttered. His shaft was throbbing and he looked like he wouldn’t be able to hold back for long. She circled a hoof around the sensitive skin of Terramar’s sheath while she slipped her mouth over the tip and sucked slowly.

“Ahh! Scootaloo! I’m…”

Scootaloo sucked and licked on the tip and slid all of it into her mouth. She moved her mouth back and forth slowly and tried not to make him climax. Terramar let out a shrill moan as he reached his limit a moment later.

Scootaloo kept her mouth tight and tried to swallow as her mouth quickly filled with his creamy load. She gulped one mouthful and then slid the cock all the way into the back of her mouth as Terramar kept going. She felt his claws against the back of her head. They held her in place as he thrust against her lips until his climax ended.

His cock popped out of her mouth and a bit of cum splashed onto her cheek. Terramar was panting and looked completely overwhelmed. A few more splashes of cum covered his belly until he leaned back and opened his eyes.

“Sorry… I didn’t last very long. It felt so different than with my own beak.”

He blushed and wiped off a few of the droplets of cum on his belly. He licked them slowly off his claws.

Scootaloo hugged his chest and then kissed him before he could lick all the cum off his beak. She felt very turned on by imagining the cute hippogriff sucking himself off.

“Mmm… it’s always easy to get too excited when it’s your first time with somepony. That’s why this is just the beginning. I trust you know what to do with a mare?”

Scootaloo rolled away from him and brushed her tail over his sensitive cock. She was rewarded with a cute moan. She leaned forward and kept her flanks in the air as she lifted her tail high. Her wet folds and winking clit made Terramar’s eyes go wide.

He stood up for a closer look. He blushed as he slowly got closer and looked at Scootaloo from slightly different angles.

“I’ve never seen a mare so close… and so excited.”

“Feel free to explore a little. I’d love to feel those front feet of yours playing with me. And once you’re ready, let me feel that beak and tongue.” He didn’t move. Scootaloo stomped the ground softly. “Don’t keep me waiting.”

“Oh, sorry! I was just… admiring the view.”

Scootaloo’s wings fluttered as she felt his talons stroking her wet folds. Terramar paused to lick her juices off before rubbing her again. His touches slowly grew more confident. He circled his talons around her folds. Scootaloo gasped. She wanted to feel him finger her. He stretched her folds and then pressed one talon inside.

“How’s that?” He asked.

“Oh! Very good. But if you keep going this slow, it’ll be more of a tease than a real treat.”

His toes and talons rubbed at places inside her in ways she’d never been rubbed before. She moaned and rocked back against the finger inside her.

“Oh! That’s it! Try that with more than just one finger.”

He smiled. He fluffed up his feathers, and his spent shaft started to harden again. Scootaloo closed her eyes as the sensation of a second finger drove her wild. Terramar stroked her folds until he found the places that made her moan the loudest. He circled around them then stroked them directly.

Scootaloo’s wings fluttered and she cried out. Her fluids squirted over Terramar’s arm as her folds tightened and trembled around the fingers inside her. Scootaloo’s chest sank into the blanket beneath her as the wave of bliss overwhelmed her.

When it passed, she looked back. Terramar rubbed a few more times before slipping his fingers out and licking them off. He pressed his beak up against her folds and licked up the stream of her fluids that was quickly dripping down her crotch. She gasped at the hard beak against her wet folds. A warm tongue took its place the next moment.

“Such an eager stallion. Oh Celestia! That feels nice. I think I’m ready to go for the thing I’m sure you’ve been waiting for.”

He licked up the mess and wiped off his beak. She could definitely tell he was eager by how hard his shaft was. It left a trail of pre along the blanket as he stood up.

“The taste was different than I expected, but it was very nice. I’ve always tried to imagine what this would be like. I hope I can do as well as I’d imagined I would.”

He stood behind her and leaned in as he wrapped both his arms around her. She held her flanks high and left her legs wide, giving him easy access to her waiting flower. He leaned in and nipped playfully at her ears before licking her neck.

“Scootaloo, thank you for doing this for me. You’re such an amazing mare.”

“Enough sweet talk. Rut me like the hot young stallion you are.”

She leaned back enough to feel his firm tip press against her opening. His grip tightened and his beak clamped onto her mane as he thrusted. Scootaloo gasped as his entire cock slid into her. He pressed in until his sheath was against her. His firm cock rubbed her in all the right places. She pressed back against it and matched Terramar’s motions as every inch of the hippogriff’s length pleasured her.

He pulled back and thrust into her again and again. The motion reminded her of waves crashing against her, but instead of cold seawater, it was Terramar’s soft feathers and warm body brushing over her with each thrust as the hippogriff drove her wild. She felt every slick inch of his cock sliding in and out of her. His medial ring popped inside her with each thrust.

“More! More! Ahh!” Scootaloo cried out as her body trembled.

She closed her eyes and gave in to the waves of pleasure as her climax hit. Her folds tightened on the amazing cock inside her.

Terramar was breathing hard. He wasn’t holding back. He thrust with his legs and wings before grinding deep inside Scootaloo. His tip flared and he moaned as his own climax hit. Scootaloo’s body milked the shaft inside her as Terramar pumped her full of his messy warmth.

They stopped and enjoyed the feeling of the moment. Scootaloo was still trembling as hot droplets of their mixed fluids ran down her thigh. The flared tip inside her felt like it couldn’t go any deeper. Terramar surprised her by nipping at the sensitive parts of her wing. Her vagina squeezed tighter and a mix of their fluids sprayed out onto the blanket below them.

“Ohh… Scootaloo… that was incredible.”

He stroked her belly and chest. A talon playfully stroked the slight bulge in her belly. She shivered and gasped.

“Terramar… don’t pull out just yet. I’d like this feeling to last a bit longer.”

Scootaloo’s back legs were trembling. The two of them gently laid down on the blanket. Scootaloo could feel the warm mess of the fluids under her. Terramar’s comforting weight was on her back. He trembling and gasped with each motion that rubbed his sensitive cock in new ways. They got comfortable and enjoyed the pleasant afterglow as they nuzzled and kissed.

Eventually, the sticky fluids in Scootaloo’s fur were getting cold. Terramar stood up and pulled out slowly. A new mess splashed on the blanket, but that didn’t matter. Scootaloo turned around and looked over the messy cock before giving it a lick. Terramar moaned and his wings twitched.

“Relax. I’m just cleaning up a bit. Why don’t you do the same for me?”

“Oh… of course!”

Terramar eagerly began to lick her over with his warm tongue. Scootaloo did the same with the impressive cock in front of her. She licked it slowly and gently until it was nice and clean. Terramar pressed his beak into her folds and swirled his tongue inside her one more time. He pulled her up for a kiss. Their flavors mixed as their mouths met.

Some nearby hoofsteps caught their attention. Both Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle had stepped out of their nearby hiding places and were coming back over. Scootaloo could faintly smell their excitement. They must have been watching the entire time.

Terramar yawned even as he left his softening length on display against his belly.

“If you both want a turn, I’ll need some rest.”

“That’s okay,” Sweetie Belle said. “We enjoyed the show.”

“And we have our own plans for some fun with some other special friends,” Apple Bloom added. “Scootaloo has plenty more she wants to try with you.”

Scootaloo put a hoof over Apple Bloom’s mouth.

“You aren’t supposed to tell him that!”

Terramar hugged Scootaloo. “Tonight’s already been very surprising. I can’t think of anything that would make it more perfect.”

Scootaloo nuzzled the hippogriff’s soft neck. “Exactly. But tomorrow morning, we’ll go to the beach after breakfast. That’s where you’ll get your next surprise.”

Terramar, Part 3

Scootaloo watched a little crab scuttle along where the waves crashed against the sandy shore. The morning was still a little cool, but the sun was starting to rise over the ocean and warm things up. Scootaloo thought over last night and smiled. Today would be fun, too, but if Terramar agreed to her plan, she’d be out her element.

She looked at the waves and remembered the time she had been swimming under them with Terramar years ago. They’d be doing a little more than swimming together today, though. She stretched out in the sun and closed her eyes.

Her ears swiveled toward the sound of approaching hooves and feet. She got up and shook the sand out of her fur as Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom, and finally Terramar rounded the rocks blocking this little section of shore from view.

Terramar blushed when he saw her but quickly grew more confident. He walked up and nuzzled her. He smelled fresh and clean. He must have washed off well after the night’s fun. His tip poked out of his sheath just a little.

“Scootaloo, you’re looking lovely this morning.”

“You seem excited to see me already.”

Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle laughed as Terramar turned red and covered himself with a wing. Scootaloo pulled it away and rubbed her own wing over his soft belly and warm sheath.

“But before you get too excited, I wanted to ask if you’d be willing to try something with me. We’ve already done it on land, but could you show me what it’s like under the sea?”

His claws lifted to his necklace. “I’d enjoy that. The transformation does make certain parts a little different, though. Some creatures might find that strange.”

“I’ve seen pictures, but I’m sure you’ll look much better than they did.”

He fluffed up his feathers and smiled.

“I won’t keep you waiting.”

They waded out into the waves before the magic transformed them. The air suddenly felt dry on Scootaloo, so she dove under the waves. Terramar swam by her, brushing her sides with his sleek body. It felt good. He swam ahead and brushed her belly and the little slit below it with his back fin. It was already enough to make Scootaloo start feeling hot.

Terramar spun and swam with his natural strength and grace. He paused and bent his tail back just enough to give Scootaloo a quick glance at something sticking out underneath before he curved back and blocked it from her view.

She swam faster to catch up. Two could play that game. She brushed against his side as she swam by and rubbed her tail along his belly. She felt something stiff and warm poking out. Terramar moaned softly and slowed down as she rubbed it.

He took her fins in his and pulled her close to his chest. She could feel his heart beating quickly. He leaned in and gave her a kiss. As he leaned closer, she felt something rub against her belly.

“Mmm… I think that’s enough teasing. You wanted to see what it looks like, right?”

He swam backward until his bottom half was closest to her. The long, pink shaft poking out from his white belly was impossible to miss. It was about as long as on land. It still had a slight medial ring, but the tip tapered to a smaller point. As Scootaloo looked at it, it bent slightly.

“Wait… you can move it?”

“It’s not quite like a dolphin’s, but yeah, I can move it a little. Want to touch it?”

Scootaloo got closer and placed her front fins on it. She stroked it gently. Terramar made a cute gasping noise, so she stroked it faster. She stopped once Terramar moaned.

“I’d like to do more than touch it.”

She pressed her nose against his and swayed in the gentle currents. He put his fins around her and pulled her close as he slid his length against her belly. He rubbed it against her tight slit. She hadn’t looked closely at herself, but it seemed like her own parts had changed a little too. The tip curved gently and slipped in.

“Ahh… Terramar. That’s what I really wanted to feel.”

“That’s just the beginning.”

He thrust in. His shaft stretched her tight opening. She shivered at the different sensations of the tapered length sliding inside her. She moaned as it curved to hit different places inside her.

“Ah… you’re moving it…”

“Just finding the perfect places to drive you wild.”

He thrust back and forth but always kept at least the tip inside. Scootaloo gasped each time his medial ring stretched her as the wide base of Terramar’s shaft hilted inside her. She pressed against Terramar and had to hold him tight as her climax hit. Her tight folds milked his shaft as he kept thrusting. He went faster and faster as Scootaloo closed her eyes and let the bliss of it overwhelm her. She opened her eyes as a pleasant warmth filled her.

“Scootaloo! Ahh!”

Terramar kept pressing against her. He moaned as he kissed her. She could feel his cum shoot deep inside her. His shaft seemed to shoot a lot more powerfully in this form. Once her belly started to feel a little full, his climax ended. He twisted his tail with hers and nuzzled her.

“Ah… underwater… it’s always more intense but shorter.”

She looked into his cute eyes and gave him another kiss.

“Thank you for this. It was amazing.”

“And thank you, Scootaloo. For being my friend… and for being my first.”

“You have some special talents. I’m glad I could help you find them. Whichever Hippogriff you end up with is going to be a very happy mare.”

They floated silently in an embrace as the afterglow slowly faded.

“How long does it take a seapony to be ready for another round?”

“Less time than when I’m on land.”

They hugged and kissed again. Scootaloo could feel the shaft inside her moving just enough to tease her again. Terramar had a gentle grin that showed he meant to tease her. It was going to be an amazing day.

Author's Note

And that's it for Terramar's section. I hope you enjoyed it.

I have some ideas for what to do next, but are there any characters you'd like to see one of the CMCs have some fun with?

Griffonstone, Part 1

Apple Bloom watched as Scootaloo and Terramar said a very long goodbye. She handed the cart with their luggage to the stallion attendant at the train station. Her friend and the hippogriff held each other in a long hug before finally letting go.

“Scootaloo, feel free to come back whenever you want,” Terramar said as he fluffed up his feathers and chest.

Scootaloo blushed and rubbed his shoulder one last time before stepping toward the train. “If you get any vacation time, you could always come visit Ponyville for a change.”

The whistle signaled that it was time to end the farewell. They all boarded the train and took their seat. They began to wave at Terramar from the window as the train lurched slowly forward.

Sweetie Belle began flipping through the pictures. She paused on the picture of a familiar pink hippogriff.

“Why wasn’t Silverstream here?” she asked.

Scootaloo paused from staring out the window at the platform that was shrinking from view and looked at the picture.

“Oh, I think Terramar said that she is off in Griffonstone, but she’s been there for a while.”

Apple Bloom looked more closely at the picture. Silverstream had grown tall and slender as she hit adulthood. Her feathers and mane were still slightly messy to match her goofy smile. Sweetie Belle flipped it over to read the note on the back.

How are my amazing friendship tutors doing?

I heard you might be coming to visit, and I’m so excited! Oh, but you’ll have to come see me in Griffonstone. I’ve been here with Sandbar trying to help Gallus out with something. All these griffons seem so grumpy! But I’ve been able to make a few of them smile and laugh. There’s also this awesome gorge near Griffonstone. I can’t even see the bottom! Maybe we could try climbing down it. I can’t wait to see you!

Besties forever!
-Silverstream

Silverstream was still her usual bubbly self. Apple Bloom hoped Gallus was okay, and she had an idea of where they might be able to find some more clues about what to expect in Griffonstone. Apple Bloom reached over for the pictures and pulled out a few.

The first picture she pulled out was of Gabby. Gabby had grown pretty big. It was hard to tell whether it was just her fluffy feathers or her actual body, but the griffon was almost as big as Big Mac now. She had her usual smile, which was probably hard to pull off with a beak. Apple Bloom flipped the picture over to see what was on the back.

Has it really been a few years? I remember all the fun in Ponyville with the Cutie Mark Crusaders like it was yesterday. I’ve made my own little group of friends here in Griffonstone. It’s been growing very slowly, but we help out other griffons when they let us. I have so much to share with you when you get here. See you soon! And Gilda showed me

-Gabby

Gabby still seemed as positive and helpful as ever. Apple Bloom was glad she hadn’t changed. She blushed a little as she remembered the griffon’s tight hugs and soft feathers. And what was that last part that was crossed out and scribbled over? Apple Bloom only knew that Gilda had some past with Rainbow Dash. Scootaloo had hinted that the two had been a little more than friends for a time. Apple Bloom blushed as she imagined Gabby and Gilda doing that sort of experimenting.

But there was still some more investigating to do. She pulled out the pictures of Gallus and Sandbar. Gallus’s note mentioned a few of the study sessions that had gone a little late, and Apple Bloom blushed. Twilight had almost walked in on them studying the griffon’s anatomy up close a time or two.

And Sandbar lived in Ponyville, so Sweetie Belle had dated him during one summer break. His note was mostly to her, but it did have a little postscript about going to visit Gallus. Like typical stallions, neither of Gallus or Sandbar mentioned much about what was bothering them, so Apple Bloom decided to just enjoy the eye candy of the pictures.

Gallus was laying on his side in the photo. He was stretched out enough to show off the muscles beneath his fur and feathers. The angle of the photo gave a teasing and shadowy glimpse of his sheath and balls, and Apple Bloom knew that was intentional. In the few years since graduating from the friendship school, Gallus had grown a bit, but he was quite a bit smaller than Gabby. Female griffons tended to be larger than the males, but Gallus was still about as big as any stallion.

Sandbar’s picture was more traditional. His family had probably taken it. It looked like they had tried to comb his messy mane. He wasn’t as bulky as her brother, but Apple Bloom liked what the years had done to him. He was still a very average pony, but he was lean and solid.

Sweetie Belle grabbed the picture and smiled.

Sweetie Belle sighed. “Ah, Sandbar. I wonder if he ever figured out things with Gallus. I think that’s why he ended things with me.”

“Really?” Apple Bloom asked. “I thought Gallus was with Silverstream after they graduated. Maybe the three of them are still figuring things out.”

“That would give them all a good reason to be in Griffonstone for so long together. We’ll see when we get there.”

The train chugged slowly up the last set of hills before the station at the edge of Griffonstone. The actual city was up on the steeper cliffs and hills, so it was a bit of a walk from the station. A small outpost of pony-owned shops and homes surrounded the station, and it looked like the path up into the griffon part of town had been widened and repaved recently.

Apple Bloom hitched up the cart with their things while Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle got directions to Gabby’s place. Once they knew where to go, they headed slowly up the steep road. A few old griffons stood guard at the gate, but the griffons just gave them a quick glance before settling back into their little guard nests.

When they passed the gates, it was hard to miss the big store on the side of the road. They looked up at the impressive yellow lettering on the sign.

Gabby’s Everything Emporium

The store had a nicer roof than the old buildings around it, and the brickwork was solid. The huge windows showed a variety of goods, and some posters in the windows advertised an even wider variety of services. Apple Bloom smiled.

“Looks like Gabby’s still doing everything.”

“Yeah,” Sweetie Belle added. “But now she’s getting paid for it.”

The chime of the bell on the door was the only warning they got before a huge griffon swept them all up in a massive hug. Even though Apple Bloom was still hitched to the cart, she was picked up and could only see gray feathers for a moment.

“Oh my gosh! You’re here!”

Apple Bloom could breath and see again a moment later when her hooves returned to the ground. Gabby was standing in front of them. She looked even taller than Big Mac, but some of her size was due to her thick, fluffy feathers. Apple Bloom blushed a little. She’d always liked big, strong ponies, and the same feelings held true for griffons.

“Heh, looks like the twerps are here.” Gilda stepped out from behind Gabby and looked over at Scootaloo. “Dash said you’d be stopping by. I’ve heard good things about you in particular. Good enough that I’m willing to let you stay at my place. But it won’t be free. I’m sure we’ll think of something for you to do for staying there. Grandpa Gruff wouldn’t have it any other way. Gabby will help you get comfortable.”

Gilda gave Scootaloo a friendly slap on the back and walked back in the store.

Gabby reached out and undid the harness on Apple Bloom. Apple Bloom blushed as she felt the griffon’s talons rub against her.

“Let me get that for you,” Gabby said as she grabbed the cart and started to wheel it behind the shop. “It’s going to be amazing to catch up with you all.”

Apple Bloom glanced at Gabby’s thick thighs and whip-like tail as Gabby walked in front of her. She tried to think of something to say.

“Ahh… yeah! It’s great to be here. It looks like you’ve done well here in Griffinstone. How is your CMC group doing here?”

“It was rough for a long time, but we have some new ponies who have been very helpful. When it was just the griffons, they’d squabble or lose interest, but now that they have some ponies with real cutie marks around, I think they get it. And I started this store with some help from Gilda and Grandpa Gruff. We sell all kinds of things, and we’ve slowly been fixing up Griffonstone with the different projects we get paid to do.”

“Yeah, it’s looking a lot nicer. We’re happy to help in whatever way we can.”

“Actually, I have something you three could do. Gallus also works with us, but he’s been a bit different lately. I think he’s a little confused and could use some good pony advice. Ah, but we’ll talk about that later. Here we are.”

Behind the store was a nice house. It also looked to be newly painted, but some parts of the house itself looked a bit older. Grandpa Gruff sat on a large padded rocking chair on the front porch. He stared at them with his slightly milky eyes.

“Gabby, are you letting ponies stay here?”

“Yes, we talked about this earlier.”

“Fine, but I want you to leave the windows open. Last time that Rainbow one came by and stayed with Gilda, it smelled like ponies for a week. It was very distracting.”

Gabby sighed. “Okay. We’ll air out the house.” She picked up what seemed like half the luggage. “Bring your things inside.”

They walked inside. It was much less colorful than a pony home. Griffons tended to favor lots of fine wood and gold in their decorating instead of all the colors that ponies used. When Apple Bloom looked at it in that way, it was a very fine griffon home. Some gold-plated busts of Griffonstone’s former kings decorated the shelves along with a few pictures.

Gabby led the way past a few closed doors and opened up her bedroom. A huge nest filled one corner of the room. It was covered in blankets and pillows to soften the stick frame underneath. Gabby placed the luggage against the wall then blushed as she noticed a magazine draped over the edge of the nest. Apple Bloom got a brief glance of it. A mare in a sexy pose was on the cover.

“Oh, sorry. Bit of a mess.” Gabby laughed nervously and tucked it between some other magazines on the shelf.

“Was that to get ready for our visit?” Apple Bloom asked even as she blushed.

“I just thought that… since Gilda and Rainbow Dash enjoy it so much, we could… uh…”

Apple Bloom smiled then gave Gabby a quick kiss. The griffon rubbed the spot on her beak as if she couldn’t believe what happened. Apple Bloom leaned close to whisper.

“I’d love to try that.”

“I was worried you wouldn’t. That’s a relief. I was nervous, so I read up on it a bit. Gilda says that ponies aren’t so different unless you’re with a stallion.”

“You’ll be able to get a good look tonight.”

Gabby laughed nervously.

“Yeah, let me go get the rest of your stuff. And after that we can do a little tour.”

They spent the rest of the evening before dinner with a brief tour of Griffonstone. Apple Bloom had heard that there wasn’t much to see besides the old castle, but it looked like the city was finally turning things around. The main roads and plazas on the way to the castle had been renovated recently. There was even a fountain with the statue of an old griffon king. Gabby had paid Chipcutter to make it, but Gabby, Gilda, and Gallus had also helped set it up.

Even the old castle was looking better. Gallus, Sandbar, and Silverstream had all been working on it together, but there hadn’t been much recent progress. Apple Bloom really wanted to ask Gabby what happened with the griffon. Gallus was tough but sensitive. She remembered when he stopped going to class for a week after rumors about him and Sandbar started going around Twilight’s school.

Those rumors had been pretty scandalous, though. The rumor was that they had both been late for class and Rainbow Dash had found Gallus with his knot stuck inside the stallion. Apple Bloom suspected the rumor to be true, but she had never asked Gallus outright.

Gabby’s tail was constantly flicking up just enough to give Apple Bloom little glimpses of the griffon as she walked behind her during the entire tour. What she did see looked soft and inviting. She was starting to blush and get looks from Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle by the time they ended the tour and went back for dinner.

The strong spicy scent of dinner was enough to hide any other scents that may have given the two away as they ate quickly. Gabby sat next to Apple Bloom and kept swishing her tail against Apple Bloom’s flanks.

“Some of you better help with the dishes while you stay here,” Grandpa Gruff said.

Apple Bloom looked over at the other two Cutie Mark Crusaders. “Girls, can you take this for me and Gabby? We need to go do something.”

Scootaloo smiled. “You helped me with Terramar. I’ll do the same with Gabby.”

“And I’ll wait until it’s my turn to call in a favor,” Sweetie Belle said.

The pegasus and unicorn started cleaning off the table. Gabby led the way back to her room. She locked the door behind Apple Bloom.

“I feel excited and nervous. How are you feeling?”

Apple Bloom’s tail flicked up. “I’m surprised Grandpa Gruff couldn’t smell my excitement at dinner with all your teasing.”

“He’s old enough to not notice as much. Now it’s time for dessert. Come here.”

Gabby laid on her side in her nest. She slowly rolled over to her back and spread her legs. She pulled Apple Bloom on top of her. The griffon was still as strong as ever. Apple Bloom felt her lean body press into Gabby’s soft feathers then felt the warmth of the griffon beneath her. Gabby rubbed Apple Bloom’s back and worked lower until she reached Apple Bloom’s hips.

“Ahh… Gabby!”

Apple Bloom felt the sudden wet warmth of Gabby against her. She blushed and thrust forward until she felt soft, wet feathers then slid back again.

“You’re larger and looser than a griffon. I suppose all mares are. Ahh…”

Apple Bloom could feel her sensitive clit rubbing against Gabby.

Gabby’s grip tightened, and she pulled Apple Bloom against her. The wet sound of them thrusting and sliding against each other filled the room. The tight, velvety griffon pussy pressed into Apple Bloom’s softer, looser folds. Apple Bloom leaned forward and kissed Gabby. Gabby didn’t let up. The intense passion only grew as the griffon’s tight grip and quick thrusts gave Apple Bloom no moment to rest. She was moaning and panting while Gabby chirped and cawed. The warm rush of fluids against her was enough to send her over the edge.

Gabby finally relaxed. Apple Bloom was trembling, and Gabby was shaking. Apple Bloom turned to the side to nibble softly on the soft spot on her friend’s wing, just like she had learned to do with Scootaloo.

“Oh feathers! Apple Bloom!”

Gabby’s wings quivered and her tail thrashed. Apple Bloom preened the sensitive spots on Gabby’s wings until the griffon could only moan. She rolled to the side a few moments later and stroked Gabby’s fluffy chest with a hoof.

“How was that for our first time?”

“Amazing.”

“Earth ponies are known for our stamina. I think I could go a few more rounds.”

A knocking on the door silenced them both.

“Dishes are done,” Scootaloo said from the other side.

Apple Bloom nuzzled the sensitive spot on the bottom of Gabby’s beak then whispered into her ear.

“I’ll go unlock it. I’m sure Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle will want to join in.”

Apple Bloom got up and didn’t even both to wipe up the droplets running down her thighs. She twisted the bolt and opened the door slowly.

Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo both stared at Gabby. The griffon had barely had time to curl her tail up over herself.

Apple Bloom leaned forward to block the view.

“Gabby’s ready to go. Let’s show her our Cutie Mark Crusader special treatment.”

Griffonstone, Part 2

The night went by in a blur. Apple Bloom opened her eyes as the morning light shown through the window. The blankets and pillows were a mess and marked with the night’s activities. Apple Bloom was cuddled against Gabby’s side. Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle were both still asleep and were in similar positions.

Apple Bloom smiled and blew away a loose feather that was tickling her nose. The golden morning light lit up the dust motes in the air. She felt like in all their fun last night, they had forgotten something, and then it hit her.

Gabby had been mentioning Gallus, but they had never finished asking about what was up with him. With a whole day ahead of them, they’d have plenty of time to track him down and figure something out.

Gallus had been so confident and cool when he graduated from the school. That was the last time Apple Bloom had really seen him. It sounded like he had been making things work here in Griffonstone with the skills and knowledge gained at the school. At least until recently.

Apple Bloom tried to think things over as she went to make breakfast while everyone slowly woke up. Gallus had been one to play the field, and that had sometimes hurt those who wanted to be a little more exclusive with him. Apple Bloom had taken a few chances to really get to know griffon anatomy up close, but that had always been usually a quick hoofjob or blowjob.

Although the apples weren’t nearly as good as the ones from home, Apple Bloom soon had some nice apple pastries baking to go with the oatmeal she had boiling on the stove. She wasn’t sure whether the griffons would like it, but the smell of food soon brought all her sleepy friends to the kitchen. She set things out on the table and sat next to Gabby.

“Gabby, if we’re going to help Gallus, we really need to know more.”

Gabby squawked as she bit into the slightly too hot pastry. She took a long drink of water then looked over. “It’s not really my story to tell, and I know he’ll get mad if we just go in and try to fix things.”

“At least tell us what’s been happening.”

“Fine. I’ll stick to what we’ve all seen or heard. It all began when Gallus, Sandbar, and Silverstream moved in together here in Griffonstone…”

Gabby told the story in bits and pieces as she remembered parts of it. The three friends had bought an old house in Griffonstone and fixed it up while doing other work in town. They all seemed happy at first, but over time, Sandbar and Gallus seemed to be seen together less in public. Some of the older griffons didn’t like to see a griffon with a pony or hippogriff, but they especially looked down on a male griffon and a stallion being together. Silverstream had also seemed a little more tired lately and didn’t seem to leave the house as much.

Apple Bloom didn’t quite know what to make of it all. It seemed like the three should have been able to work out any problems after graduating from Twilight’s School. They had solved some very big problems over the years.

“So, has Sandbar also been looking a bit down lately?” Apple Bloom asked.

Gabby nodded. “From what little I see of him. He’s been working more at the train station and seems to stick with the ponies more now. He seems happy enough but always has a look of resignation.”

Apple Bloom thought it all over while they finished off breakfast. After not helping last night, it fell to her and Gabby to do the dishes. As they rinsed and dried them, Gabby hummed a happy song but suddenly stopped.

“Apple Bloom! I think I have a great idea. There are three of you, so one of each of you could visit Gallus, Sandbar, and Silverstream to find out what’s going on. I’d help more, but I still have a shop to run.”

The Cutie Mark Crusaders all looked at each other and nodded. It felt like the right thing to do.

“Sweetie Belle went out with Sandbar for a while,” Apple Bloom said. “Maybe she should go see him.”

Sweetie Belle shook her head. “I think I’d do much better with Silverstream. Things didn’t exactly end on a great note with Sandbar and me.”

Apple Bloom gave a snort of frustration. “Fine, I’ll go see Sandbar and talk to him earth pony to earth pony. Scootaloo can talk to Gallus. Let’s meet up at lunch to discuss what we find out.”

Apple Bloom didn’t really want to be the one to be doing things alone since the other two would probably find Gallus and Silverstream together, but it seemed like the best option. She walked back down to the collection of pony homes and shops down by the train station. The little settlement was simple, but it looked like it was developing quickly. Plenty of new buildings were being put up. Apple Bloom looked around at all the ponies working.

She spotted Sandbar before she even got to the train station. The stallion was hoisting a bundle of lumber up to the pegasi putting the roof on a new home. The other ponies secured the load and began to hammer in some nails. Sandbar began to tie up another bundle of boards with the rope.

“Hey Sandbar! I‘ve been looking for you.”

His ears swiveled first before he turned to face her. He looked hopeful but his smile quickly faded to a sad look. He turned and finished up the knot and started to hoist up the load. Once the pegasi took the boards, he could finally let go of the rope and speak.

“Apple Bloom, it’s good to see you! I heard you were coming. You caught me in the middle of a job, but I should have it done pretty soon. Why don’t you go wait in the cafe over there? This shouldn’t take much longer.”

“That’s fine. But are you okay?”

He looked much more tired than in the photo that had been sent. His mane was even messier than usual. He had the musky smell of a stallion that had been working hard, so at least he smelled healthy. There seemed to be some invisible weight on him that looked far heavier than the cart of lumber next to him.

“Yeah, everything’s chill. I just had to pick up some extra work to help out. And… well… I’ll tell you more soon.”

He didn’t sound like his usual relaxed self. He got back to work once the pegasi shouted for the next set of boards and roof beams. Apple Bloom watched him work for a moment. He was still lean and strong and lifted the boards with his front hooves with ease. Apple Bloom didn’t want to stare too long in awkward silence, so she quickly went over to the cafe he had pointed out.

It was the typical little pony diner with some tables set among soft grass near some trees and flower beds. The ponies had worked hard to grow the little garden around the place. The green plants shone like emeralds compared to the drab gray-green plants around the rest of Griffonstone. Apple Bloom took a seat. An middle-aged mare came up to take her order.

“So what brings you to Griffonstone?” the mare spoke in a sweet voice.

“I’m here for some friends. Gabby, Gilda, Gallus, Sandbar, and Silverstream, if you’ve met them.”

“Ah, I’ve met all of them. Gabby and Gilda are some good griffons, even though Gilda will screech your ears off if she thinks you’re overcharging her a single bit. Gabby is nicer, though. And the other three… well, it’s been interesting to see them mature.”

“They’re all still pretty young. How have they matured?”

“I mostly see Sandbar. He told me he’s working hard for his family. He lives with the griffon and hippogriff, although maybe something changed. I mean… two stallions and one mare. It’s bound to happen. But I really should stop chatting you to death and take your order.”

“Oh, I’ll have two of the brunch sandwich specials and your best apple pie. Bring it out when my friend comes.”

Apple Bloom handed over some bits and turned back to watching Sandbar working. He was strong and fast. Before long, the roof frame was all set and ready for the shingles to be nailed on. Sandbar roped up the boxes of shingles and pulled them up with the pulley and rope. Once they were all up, he cleaned a few things up then came over to the cafe.

The mare brought over their food shortly after he sat down. At first, Sandbar ate quickly. He was hungry after all his work. Apple Bloom took her time on her own food while she watched Sandbar.

“Sandbar, I really hope I can help while I’m here, but you’re going to have to open up a little. Remember all those lessons about honesty from my big sis?”

He snorted and frowned. “Do I really look that bad?”

“On the outside you look healthy, strong, maybe even handsome.” Apple Bloom smiled. “But I can tell that you’re hurting on the inside.”

“I guess it would be good to talk about it. I’ve been trying my best to do what I can. It’s hard to argue against instincts.”

“Instincts?” Apple Bloom raised an eyebrow.

“Yeah. I didn’t know it, but griffons get very territorial when… um… when their mate is expecting.”

Apple Bloom dropped her sandwich. “So Silverstream is…”

Sandbar nodded. “We think Gallus is the father since he was with Silverstream more often, but I guess it could be me, too. We sort of had an argument about that. I’ve been afraid to bring it up. And if I stay too long at home, he gets very irritable even though I know he’s still trying to be nice. Silverstream says that he’s much more calm when I’m away from the house, so I barely go back there to sleep.”

“Hmm… and did you let him know how this has been making you feel?”

“I was hoping to find a time when the mood felt right, but Gallus is always so sharp with me and doesn’t want to talk about it. The three of us promised to work hard to make it work out and be a family, but that hasn’t won us any support from griffons or hippogriffs either. Sometimes I wonder if it would be easier for them if I just went back and lived a normal pony life and let them have a more normal family.”

“Is he better when he’s away from home?”

“A little bit, but he always wants to stay close to Silverstream. It would be cute if it wasn’t also driving a wedge between us.”

“Maybe we could put together something. If me, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle organized a girls’ night with Silverstream, do you think you two could work it out?”

“That does sound like a good idea. If we could get Gallus away from the house and get him to relax, I’m sure we could sort things out.”

“How about tonight? Would that work?”

“I think so. It would be better to give Gallus less time to worry about being away.”

They shook hooves and smiled at each other and began to finish off the rest of their lunches.

“I guess you need to get back to work. And I might go study up on griffon habits with a nesting partner. I’m sure Gilda or Gabby might be helpful. We’ll plan a nice night alone for you and Gallus. Hopefully with a little more privacy than you had back at the school.”

Sandbar chuckled. “Are those old rumors still going around?”

“Not as much, although it’s used as a warning for students to not let certain interests outside class distract them. I think Rainbow Dash gets a kick out of mentioning it.”

“She was the one that found us.” Sandbar blushed. “We almost convinced her to make a deal and keep it a secret, but Twilight knew something was up and came in shortly after Rainbow Dash. I’d love to go back to having it be like that between me and Gallus again.”

“We’ll do our best to make it happen.”

Apple Bloom had a busy and informative day after that. Gilda had been more than happy to fill her in on griffon mating and nesting habits. Many griffons did get very moody when they or their partners were expecting. When Apple Bloom asked whether that made any relationships with multiple partners difficult, Gilda just laughed. Any griffons who had tried it had usually moved out and into separate homes very quickly once one of the griffons started expecting. That meant that Sandbar would be working against what was commonly done, but Apple Bloom trusted in the lessons on friendship that Gallus and Sandbar both knew well.

As the sun began to set, Apple Bloom gathered with her friends in the living room of Silverstream’s home. The house was newer. It had been built by the three friends with a little help from some other griffons and ponies. Most of the furniture looked like it had been sent from the hippogriff kingdom. Ccean-themed motifs were carved into the smooth parts of what seemed to be driftwood that had been expertly crafted into shelves, chairs, and tables. The same ocean motifs were stitched into the cushions.

Silverstream sat on the largest cushion. She looked great, but her belly was much larger than in the photo they had been given. Sweetie Belle was rubbing the hippogriff’s belly slowly. She giggled as something inside moved.

“So, do you know if it will be a mare or stallion?” Sweetie Belle asked. “Will it be a hippogriff or a griffon?”

“I’m not sure. Maybe even a griffogriff!” Silverstream laughed. “We haven’t had any special doctors over to look at things like that. It’s a little hard to find anyone with the skills or magic out here in Griffonstone.”

“You should just ask your family,” Gallus grumbled. “They’d be more than happy to give us anything if we just tell them.”

“I know, but once I do that, they won’t leave us alone. Even if I’m only a cousin to the royal line, it would still be a big deal. You’d have my family visiting all the time.”

Gallus growled and frowned. He had looked rather grumpy the entire day. He seemed on edge and alert, as if there might be some sudden threat to Silverstream that he would have to protect against. But even with the scowl on his face, he was still the handsome griffon that he had grown into during the last few years at the school.

Sweetie Belle got up and Apple Bloom took her turn to rub Silverstream’s belly. The hippogriff had claimed it was a custom done among hippogriffs for good luck for the baby. Silverstream’s feathers seemed amazingly soft, and her warm skin underneath was smooth. Apple Bloom smiled as she felt a small kick.

“He or she is certainly energetic,” Apple Bloom said. “With parents like you, I’m not surprised.”

Sandbar came out of the shower and looked over at Gallus. His recently dried coat looked very soft and fluffy. His mane was still a curly mess, but that had always been part of his charm. He walked in and gave both Gallus and Silverstream quick kisses before offering a hoof to Gallus.

“You ready for our guy’s night out?” he asked.

Gallus looked over at Silverstream.

“I’ll be fine,” she said. “Show Sandbar a good time. He’s been working so hard for our little family.”

Gallus sighed and stepped out. Sandbar followed.

“Are you sure those two will be alright?” Apple Bloom asked.

Silverstream shook her head. “I’m not sure. This will either be great for them or terrible. It might be nice to send one of you to watch them, but we’ll give them some time to get a head start.”

“I’ll volunteer,” Apple Bloom said.

Apple Bloom would have enjoyed staying with Silverstream, but she felt she had to stand by a great earth pony like Sandbar. Gallus could be difficult, especially when he got emotional, so Sandbar might need a little backup. Apple Bloom had to leave in the middle of Scootaloo telling Silverstream about her renewed interest in Terramar, but Apple Bloom knew the details of those encounters quite well already.

She walked through the dimly lit streets of Griffonstone. The rough cobblestone was easy to stumble on, so she stepped carefully. Most griffons were early risers and slept soon after the night fell, except for the more owl-like ones. But Gallus always had been more cuddly at night, too, so maybe the time of day would be on their side.

She tried to think of where they would have gone once she reached the main street. A few bars and pubs were open, and Apple Bloom knew one that would appeal to griffons and ponies. The Cider Tap was owned by Gilda. She got her hard cider shipped straight from the cellars at Sweet Apple Acres. Such a fine drink would appeal to any creature.

Apple Bloom slipped in behind a group of middle-aged griffons and sat in an out of the way spot by the bar. When she looked around, she spotted Gallus and Sandbar on the other side of the room.

Gallus sipped from his mug while Sandbar told a story between swigs of his own mug. The griffon had a sour look and was puffing his feathers out in the sort of way he did when unhappy. Their plates were already empty, so it seemed like they hadn’t had very good conversation to slow down their meal.

Sandbar finished the story and Gallus chuckled in his sarcastic way. Sandbar’s ears flattened and he frowned for a moment. He tried to nuzzle Gallus after that, but the griffon pushed him away once they drew glances from some of the other griffons.

“Hey, you better order something if you’re going to take up a seat.”

The tap of claws on the counter interrupted Apple Bloom’s focus. The bartender was a griffon that looked to be a few years older than Gallus. He was small and thin with a lot of white and brown feathers.

“Oh. Sorry. I’ll have a mug of the hard cider.”

She tossed a few bits on the counter and the griffon began to fill up her mug.

“So, you watching that pony and Gallus for some reason?” he asked. “I doubt you’ll get them to pay any attention to you if the rumors are true.”

Apple Bloom sniffed the cider and took a sip. It tasted like the batch she had helped make during the last harvest season. It was sweet and had a strong kick as it went down. She looked up at the bartender.

“I just got into town. What are these rumors?”

“A lot of griffons think it strange for Gallus to be with a pony and hippogriff. Many are betting their little threesome will break apart as soon as their kid comes.”

“I think I heard that rumor. So griffons don’t do well with multiple partners?”

The bartender shrugged. “Some make it work with separate homes, but there’s always a strong instinct to defend a mate with young.”

“So are there any examples of a family making it work without living apart?”

“I haven’t heard of any. Anyway, I got other customers.”

The griffon turned to some other patrons. Apple Bloom glanced back over at Gallus and Sandbar. They both looked stubborn and upset and didn’t seem to be speaking much. The night wasn’t going well, but maybe Apple Bloom could still change that.

Apple Bloom took a napkin and pulled a pencil out and wrote a note. Apple Bloom tapped on the bar to get the bartender’s attention.

“One more mug for those two and give them this note in about five minutes. Also, one bottle of cider for the road.”

She pointed at Gallus and Sandbar, and the griffon nodded after she paid him. Hopefully the note would get them out of the bar. The place didn’t seem to be doing either of them any good. She had wrote down that someone had a surprise for them out by the chasm. She’d have a few minutes to get ahead and prepare the surprise she had in mind.

She almost ran out into the streets. Gabby’s shop would be closed for the night, but she was hoping her friend would make an exception for now. She found Gabby cleaning up a few things in her kitchen as she entered her friend’s home.

“You seem to be in a hurry,” Gabby said. “Is there anything I can help with?”

“How much for a few blankets and a basket? I need them right away.”

“Just take them and pay me back in the morning. Sounds like you have an exciting night ahead of you.”

“It’s for Gallus and Sandbar.”

Gabby slipped away for a moment and returned with the items that Apple Bloom needed.

She looked over the items. It was a good start, but it still felt like she’d need something more.

“Uh, do you also have…ah… let me see what I need!”

It had been a while since Apple Bloom had made any potions, but she tried to think what ingredients she would need. She ran to get the small kit out of her saddlebags to see what she might be missing. She listed what she needed and Gabby nodded.

“Do you really think they’ll need a potion? They were all over each other before the recent mess, and I remember when you told me about the other time you tried a love potion.”

“I need something a little different than a love potion. If it’s certain hormones or instincts that are making Gallus drive Sandbar away, I might be able to make something for that. I’ll need to buy some time and slip it to him somehow, though.”

Gabby surprised Apple Bloom with a little kiss on her cheek.

“A kiss for good luck. Now go get ‘em.”

Gabby gave Apple Bloom’s flank a gentle tap and pushed her toward the door. Apple Bloom blushed as she ran outside into the night. A few griffons squawked in surprise as she galloped past them. She reached the desolate edge of town that overlooked the chasm. In the darkness, it seemed to go down forever. Maybe it wasn’t the most romantic choice, but at least it was secluded. Above the chasm, the light of the crescent moon and stars made for a nice sight, so maybe it wasn’t quite as bleak as it looked at first glance.

Apple Bloom set out the bottle of cider and some mugs in the basket after unfolding the blanket and spreading it out over a patch of thin grass. It wouldn’t be the most comfortable spot to lay down, but it seemed the best spot in the mostly barren cliffside. Apple Bloom lit a small lantern. The sound of approaching feet and hooves almost made her tip it over. She steadied it and retreated behind a large boulder.

“Who would be inviting us out here?” Gallus said. “Nobody comes out here at night. Something feels wrong about this.”

Sandbar snorted. “You need to quit seeing monsters in every shadow. Relax. Enjoy the night. Our friends are keeping things safe back at home.”

“If something happens because we came out here…” The cold threat in Gallus’s voice was harsh.

Apple Bloom got out her little potion kit. Gallus definitely needed something more to calm him down. The alcohol didn’t seem to be helping much, either.

“See? Someone left a little note and some fancy cider for us.”

Sandbar popped the cork out of the bottle and read the note Apple Bloom had quickly written.

“A special gift to celebrate the special friendship between my two great friends.”

“You drink it first. I’m not trusting it.”

“You can trust it. It’s some of Ponyville’s finest.”

“Maybe if we were in Ponyville. This whole thing is dumb. We should just go home.”

Apple Bloom’s hooves stopped and her ears flattened. She was carefully grinding ingredients in her little bowl as quietly as possible, but if they left, there’d be no chance to even try her new potion out. She took a deep breath. It was hard enough to improvise a potion without all the rush and tension. She relaxed once she heard Sandbar pour a mug of the cider. She glanced around the rock to see what would happen as her hooves went back to work.

“This is supposed to be our special night out, and the girls are having their own night. Remember when we’d sneak off together? Just me and you?”

Sandbar took a swallow of the cider and continued.

“Ah… see? It’s perfectly fine. I even remember the first time Silverstream found you knotted in me in our room at school.”

Gallus poured his mug and took a long drink. He sighed then laughed.

“Ah, those were good times. I thought she’d be grossed out or run away. Instead, she was just really curious about how it all worked… and felt.”

Gallus sat down then got back up. He growled softly.

“Thinking of her though… I want to go back home.”

“Come on. Relax. She’s fine.”

“I can’t! I feel like I need to be near her. Your attitude keeps pissing me off.”

Apple Bloom’s hooves were shaking as she carefully poured the ground up ingredients into the potion stock she already had in the vial. They had almost had a great moment, but it seemed Gallus’s other instincts were still too strong. She swirled the vial around and hoped it would change to the right color. She held it out into the light from the lantern that shone around the edge of the boulder. It went from a light blue to a very faint red. That seemed promising.

She was trying to use a modified version of the love potion formula. She had swapped the ingredients for others meant to inhibit things getting in the way of love, but it was a new potion, so she wouldn’t know if it worked until she tried it.

“Hey, you!” Gallus shouted. “Behind the rock! Come out!”

“Horsefeathers!” Apple Bloom whispered.

She had one last idea of something to add. She added the powder and sealed the vial. She hid it in her mane before stepping out into the light.

“Hey guys! It’s me.”

Gallus was glaring at her and flexing his talons, but Sandbar waved at her.

“Apple Bloom!” Sandbar said. “I thought you were with the other girls. How are things back home?”

“We were having a lot of fun talking about things. Silverstream is so excited about having a foal, but I forgot something at Gabby’s. Uh, on the way there, I saw you two at the bar. You didn’t seem to be having fun, so I thought I’d make a nice little surprise.”

“At home where I know Silverstream is safe, at the bar where all the griffons gossip about us, or out here in the dark? I wonder where I’d have the most fun.”

Gallus’s snappy remark made her ears fold back, but she tried to smile.

“I didn’t have much time to plan it. At least the cider is good, right?”

She gave Gallus a playful tap on the bottom of his beak with one hoof while pulling out the vial with her other hoof. He shoved her hoof away, but it was enough of a distraction to pour the potion into his mug.

“Whatever. Can we just go home? I’m fine with a guy’s night, but I want it at home.”

Sandbar stared at Gallus’s mug then looked up at Apple Bloom. The desperation and faint glint of hope in his eyes hinted that he had seen a glimpse of what Apple Bloom had just done.

“Silverstream is probably getting tired, so I’ll go tell the girls you’re coming. Finish up the cider before you come back, though. It would be a shame to waste such a fine drink.”

Griffons hated wasting anything, and Gallus was especially careful about that because of his childhood. Apple Bloom felt guilty for exploiting him like this, but it was the best hope she had. He didn’t waste time and immediately drained the rest of the mug.

He shivered and then started coughing. He collapsed on his side as his coughs grew worse until they cut off to a heavy silence.

Sandbar poked her in the chest with a hoof. “Apple Bloom! What did you put in his drink? Is he okay?”

Sandbar ran over and rolled the griffon onto his back.

“It’s a potion. I, uh… just wait a moment. He should be fine.”

“Slipping potions to creatures without their consent is not okay. What did you do?”

It was rare to hear Sandbar angry, but Apple Bloom had nothing to say but the simple truth.

“It’s a new potion. It’s supposed to inhibit his overprotective griffon instincts… and I may have added a little extra to spice things up… uh…”

Apple Bloom blushed as the red tip of Gallus’s cock poked out from his fluffy sheath. Gallus moaned softly as his eyes opened. He reached up and put his talons on Sandbar’s shoulder.

“What happened? Ah, Sandbar, you smell nice.”

Sandbar blushed as he looked down at Gallus’s growing erection. His own tip slid out and Apple Bloom stepped away from the two even as she stared.

“You choked on your cider, but you’re okay now. Do you still want to go home? I know you want to be near Silverstream more than stay out here alone with me.”

Gallus pulled Sandbar down until the two were laying against each other. The faint light from the lamp showed the glistening trail of pre that Gallus smeared against Sandbar’s shaft as the two pressed together.

“I did… but we’re supposed to have our own night of fun, right? We can wait a little longer before going home. Besides, how long has it been since I knotted that cute little pony butt of yours until your moaned my name?”

“You two… have fun!” Apple Bloom smiled even as she took a step away. “I’ll let the girls know you’ll be out a bit late.”

Sandbar’s face went even redder as he looked up at her. “Yeah, I think we’ll be here a while. Thank you, Apple Bloom.”

Apple Bloom stepped into the darkness and pretended to go down the path before circling back to peek at the two from behind another rock. Zecora had told her to never leave anyone unsupervised when trying out potions for the first time. It would be irresponsible to not observe and make sure there weren’t any unintended side effects.

The two were hugging, kissing, and rubbing their shafts together. Gallus’s thick knot was already out of his sheath. Apple Bloom felt wet as she watched the two thrusting against each other and grunting softly. Gallus growled and pulled Sandbar up against his chest before thrusting into the stallion.

“Ah! Gallus! You’re going so fast!”

“Mmm… like I said… it’s been too long, and I’m suddenly in the mood to play with my favorite stallion.”

The enchanted powder of passion fruit had been the final special ingredient Apple Bloom had added to the potion. Zecora usually used it to help older stallions who needed a little magic to get in the mood. In a young, virile griffon, it would probably mean a long night of fun for Sandbar. Hopefully he wouldn’t be too sore in the morning.

Gallus wasted no time in filling Sandbar with his thick griffon cock. Sandbar’s own shaft flared and dripped onto the griffon’s feathery chest. Apple Bloom’s hoof found its way between her legs as she rubbed herself in time to the rough thrusts. Sandbar gasped as the knot pressed against his plot. His moan echoed in the chasm as the gryphon’s knot slid inside and locked Gallus in place. A single shot of creamy white cum hit Gallus’s beak before the griffon opened wide and deepthroated the stallion’s shaft.

“Gallus! Ahh!”

Sandbar kept moaning Gallus’s name. Gallus swallowed the stallion’s load and bounced him on his knot as he kept grinding against Sandbar.

Apple Bloom flicked her winking nub and shivered. The fluids dripping down her leg chilled quickly in the cool night air. She gasped quietly and buried her muzzle against her shoulder to quiet her own moans as her own climax hit. She had never thought helping out some friends could be so sexy, but she was shaking from the pleasure of watching.

Gallus’s beak slid back up and he circled his tongue over Sandbar’s flared tip. He was really going all out to tease Sandbar in every way possible. He pulled Sandbar down for a passionate kiss as his balls tightened. From the muffled sounds, Apple Bloom could imagine Sandbar was being filled with the griffon’s load at that very moment. She smiled as she trembled in the aftermath of her own fun.

The two nuzzled and kissed. With the knot in deep, they wouldn’t be separating anytime soon. Apple Bloom tried to wipe her own mess with her hoof. She licked it off before slowly getting back up. Even from here, the pleasant musk of the two males reached her sensitive nose.

She was already beginning to think of how she’d tell the girls once she went back to Silverstream’s home. And she’d be sure to leave plenty of doses of her new potion for Gallus now that she knew it worked perfectly.

Author's Note

Sorry for the long break between updates. I had a big career change that took up a lot of time with training. I have a few more parts planned for this fun trip the CMCs are on, so I hope all my readers are continuing to enjoy the ride.

Dragonlands, Part 1

Sweetie Belle watched the landscape go by. The area around Griffonstone had been sparse in any pretty plants or trees, but the view was even more barren as they approached the Dragonlands. Building tracks to such a place had been an impressive feat of engineering and magic. Large volcanoes dwarfed the small train, but the protective spells kept the tracks clear of any debris or lava.

On the seats across from her, Apple Bloom and Scootaloo were both napping quietly. The door behind her opened.

“Hey! I didn’t think I’d run into you here.”

The familiar voice drew Sweetie Belle’s attention away from the window. She’d know Spike’s voice anywhere.

Spike slipped into the empty seat next to Sweetie Belle. His chest and arms were more muscular, and he was much taller now. The spicy musk of the dragon so close made Sweetie Belle remember all the good times with Spike. Part of her wished he would put an arm around her right there, but the other part of her remembered how things had ended between them.

“Spike! What are you doing here?”

“A bit of everything really. I have some official ambassador work with Ember, and Thorax said to check on Ocellus. And I might as well say hi to Smolder while I’m here.”

“Oh yeah. I think she wrote on her postcard to us that she was staying with Smolder about every other month. At least we’ll get to see them all while we’re here.”

The announcement of the coming arrival by the train attendant interrupted their conversation and woke up Apple Bloom and Scootaloo. Spike said hello to them and stood up to return to his own seat, but before he did, he gave Sweetie Belle a quick hug.

“If you want, I could have you and your friends stay in my hotel suite. As ambassador, I get some very nice accommodations. But only if that’s okay with you.”

“I’d like that. Thank you, Spike.”

“Great! Here’s the room number. I’ll be busy until later, so feel free to relax and unpack before I get there.”

Spike handed her a note with the number 301 on it. He smiled and his tail wagged while he gave her a hopeful look before he went back to the other car. Sweetie Belle’s two friends gave her knowing looks.

“Now that I’m older, I can make my own choices with Spike.”

“We’re both just happy you can chase some tail again,” Scootaloo said.

“And your promise to your sister only lasted until you came of age,” Apple Bloom added.

“I’d rather not be reminded of what happened. And I think it’s time to go get our bags.”

Sweetie Belle walked over to where their luggage was waiting. She tried to pick it up but got sloppy with her magic as the past overwhelmed her.

Rarity had locked herself in her room to shut out all distraction as she finished up her latest fashion line. Sweetie Belle had grabbed some things out of the fridge to make a passable salad and was about to finish it when a soft knock sounded on the back door. She opened it and saw Spike waiting there with a basket of gems.

“Hey, Sweetie Belle. Is Rarity busy? I found some great gems that I thought she’d like.”

Spike looked handsome in the doorway. His recent growth spurt meant he was about as tall as Sweetie Belle, and he was quickly filling out. She blushed as her eyes wandered over his legs and between them to the tight little slit that kept whatever a dragon might have hidden. It wasn’t fair she couldn’t enjoy some eye candy, like she could with the stallions.

“Rarity’s busy, but why don’t you come in and set that down. I’d hate to have you come all this way without some thanks or rest.”

Spike stepped in. Sweetie Belle pointed over to where he could set the basket down and quickly took a very unladylike pose on the chair. Spike turned back to her. His tongue flicked out as he glanced down at what was on display for a very brief moment.

“I’d give you something to eat, but I think I cleaned out the fridge for my own dinner.”

Sweetie Belle rose and brushed against Spike as she placed her plate in the sink. She flicked her tail up as she slowly stepped back to her seat.

“Umm… are you wearing a new perfume? You smell nice.”

“Ah, thank you, Spike. Maybe… there is something in my room I could give you for the trouble of always being so helpful for me and my sister.”

Sweetie Belle swished her tail around. Her scent must have been strong. Spike kept flicking his tongue out and blushing. He wrapped his tail around his front and blushed.

“Are you sure? I mean… Twilight might need something or Rarity might-”

Spike went silent as Sweetie Belle walked past him. Her cheeks burned as she turned her tail up enough to leave nothing to the imagination. She could even feel a little trickle of warm wetness from her arousal.

“Forget them. Follow me.”

She tugged lightly on Spike with her magic as she led him to her room. She shut the door behind them and laid on her back and spread her legs.

“It must be frustrating to always hope for a certain reward but never get it. After all these years, I’ve started to want what my sister seems to ignore. You’re a dragon more handsome than any stallions around here. Now let me reward you for all your hard work.”

Sweetie Belle tugged Spike’s tail away from where it was curled around his lap. She smiled as she finally got a nice look at the dragon’s cock. It was shorter but thicker than a stallion’s, and it had little ridges and smooth barbs that looked like they’d feel amazing. Sweetie Belle rolled and slipped her hooves over the side of the bed to raise her flanks in the air.

“It’s time such a faithful dragon finally gets his reward.”

The gentle scrape of claws on her shoulders then barrel made Sweetie Belle gasp. He nipped at her ear and whispered.

“There might be some trouble, but damn Twilight or whoever tells me I should control myself. I’m almost a mature dragon, so it’s time I had some fun again.”

“Don’t hold back.” She was feeling frisky and nibbled softly on the little fin on the side of Spike’s head. He let out a playful growl. Sweetie Belle nibbled on it again, and Spike’s remaining restraint vanished.

The fierce possessive glare both scared and excited Sweetie Belle as Spike hugged her roughly against his firm chest as his tip pressed into her slick flower. She gasped as a thrust shook her and the bed. Spike didn’t loosen his grip one bit, and he went faster and faster. Her leg twitched as the full length hilted in her one moment then slid out the next. The rugged texture of Spike’s shaft slid against every sensitive spot inside her.

She couldn’t help but moan his name and gasp. The bed pounded against the wall as he bred her faster and more firmly than any stallion could. He held her like some prized treasure he was guarding and wouldn’t let go. Small gouts of flame burst from his lips. She could feel the heat in the air above her as her body quickly glistened with a light sheen of sweat. Her body trembled then clasped on the dick deep inside her as her fluids sprayed the bed.

Still, Spike didn’t stop. His claws pressed harder, leaving thin scratches on her back and hips. He leaned in to lick and nip at her neck. She shivered as she could feel his fangs draw out the smallest beads of blood that he quickly licked off. Sweetie Belle cried out as another blissful orgasm hit her.

She shrieked as Spike’s fangs sunk into her shoulder. His hips pounded against hers a few more times then stopped as the intense heat of the dragon’s load filled her. Spike blinked and had a tender look of concern.

“Ah! I’m sorry, Sweetie Belle. Are you okay? My instincts always get a bit wild. Oh! That bite looks-”

Sweetie Belle held a hoof up to his mouth. “That was amazing, even if it left a few marks. Some mares like it rough.”

Spike slipped out of her as he collapsed onto the bed next to her. His delicious cock slowly changed from firm to soft then began to retreat into his slit. He seemed to barely be able to snuggle up against her as he yawned.

“Mmm… dragons give their all in love, but we get very sleepy afterward. Sweetie Belle… love you.”

Spike’s words were barely audible as he quickly sunk into a stupor then a very deep sleep. Even in sleep, he still held Sweetie Belle with a fierce and possessive strength.

She looked at him and at the mess dripping onto her tail and the bed. She smiled and gave him a kiss, but a sudden noise in the hall caught her attention. The cautious sound of Rarity’s hooves got closer. Sweetie Belle was tired, but the fear of discovery jolted her to alertness. She fumbled with her blanket in her magic, but before she could spread it over her and Spike, the door slipped open.

“Sweetie Belle? What was all that noise? S-Spike! Oh!”

Rarity pretended to be faint and slipped back into the hall. The door clicked shut behind her.

“You stay there, Sweetie Belle. I need to have a talk with Twilight, Spike, and you.”

Sweetie Belle knew she was in huge trouble. Spike would be, too, but after being with him, she just wanted to rest and snuggle in the afterglow. The cat was already out of the bag, so she might as well enjoy the calm before the storm.

The storm came once Rarity returned with Twilight. Sweetie Belle was thoroughly embarrassed when Rarity pulled the blanket off her to show Twilight the scratch and bites marks along with the mess Spike had left. But even the shouting accusations from Rarity didn’t wake up Spike. Twilight tried to argue that the two had just been exploring and that it was harmless, but Rarity’s arguments about propriety and reputation won out in the end.

Twilight levitated the sleeping Spike away in her magic and promised not to talk about it with anypony. She also promised to make Spike behave better. She teleported away the next moment.

Rarity then turned on Sweetie Belle with a huge lecture on the proper behavior for mares and dating, and even sex. Sweetie Belle found it all old-fashioned, but Rarity would hardly let her get a word in until Sweetie Belle finally pointed out that she needed to go clean up. Rarity only let her go once she promised not to be intimate with Spike again until she reached adulthood.

The weeks after that had been just as bad. Spike sent a letter apologizing for his behavior, but Rarity kept Sweetie Belle from even talking to him again for about a month. Eventually they did see each other again, but Spike must have received an even tougher treatment from Twilight. He was friendly but distant, and Sweetie Belle could never get him to talk about that night again.

Sweetie Belle blinked and looked down at the bags she had dropped. Her memories had been unusually strong and vivid. She blushed and clamped her tail down as the other effects of remembering that night also affected her.

A cloaked pony stepped next to Sweetie Belle and smiled as the glow faded from her horn. Sweetie Belle could see the pink wings under the cloak. Equestria’s youngest princess looked into her eyes.

“Sweetie Belle, just the pony I wanted to find,” Flurry Heart said. “That was quite the memory, wasn’t it? It seems to be quite the thorn in your heart, but I think I can help you heal that.”

The princess of healing was well-known for her unusual ability to look into the painful or troubled thoughts and feelings of those around her. Sweetie Belle had also heard rumors of her attraction to Spike despite still being a teenager.

“If you think you can just mess with my memories-”

“Not so loud! I’m not supposed to be on my own here. And I’m here to help you. You’ll be helping me, too. Just think. You’ll have a princess in your debt.”

“Fine. What do you want?” Sweetie Belle picked up the bags in her magic and walked slowly back toward her friends.

“The same thing you do. Spike.”

“I am not setting you up with him. You’re way too young.”

“That’s not what I’m asking for. You get Spike again, and all I need from you is to let me use my magic to connect with how you feel while you’re with him. I want to feel how it is to be with such a strong, heroic dragon in bed. I’ll return the favor when I can, but you’ll need to promise not to say a word about this.”

“Okay. I promise not to say a word.”

“Perfect! Take this and wear it when you and Spike have some fun together.” Flurry Heart pulled out a small magical amulet. “I’ll have to be nearby, so I booked the room in the hotel next to yours. This is going to be amazing!”

“You better go before someone notices you.”

Flurry Heart teleported away leaving only the faint scent of her excitement. She was way too young, but really, she was about as old as Sweetie Belle had been when she had sex with Spike. Sweetie Belle made sure the amulet was secure and went to meet her friends.

Author's Note

It's nice to come back to this story feeling fresh. I hate taking long absences from stories, but sometimes life is busy and it's hard to focus on writing. I hope to finish at least the Dragonlands section before wrapping this story up, but I also have some other ideas for one or two other locations. I hope you enjoy the rest of the ride!

Dragonlands, Part 2

The new hotel was just across the street. All the pony buildings in the Dragonlands had to be built in a magically protected area to avoid catching fire or crumbling in earthquakes. Large gates opened up to where the dragons had their caves and other residences, and many dragons were accompanying creatures of many types into the shopping district right around the train station.

Spike was already flying off toward Ember’s volcano. Sweetie Belle watched his body sway in the air as he flew. She smiled and tried not to focus on what tonight might bring, but it was hard not to wonder if other parts of the handsome dragon had grown to match his new size.

They took their bags to Spike’s room. The suite was absolutely stunning. Polished gems in golden bowls waited on the center table. A huge soft bed took up most of the room. Sweetie Belle hopped on it and tested it. The mattress was sturdy and firm with a cloud-like layer of softness on the outside. Perfect for ponies or dragons. Or both. Together.

“Somepony’s excited for tonight,” Scootaloo said. “If you raise your tail and wink your mare parts at Spike like I just saw, he’ll be all over you in a moment.”

Sweetie Belle blushed. “That’s still hours away. Where’s Apple Bloom?”

“Right here! And look who I found.”

Apple Bloom walked in with Smolder and Ocellus. They were both taller than when Sweetie Belle had seen them last. Ocellus looked slender and graceful while Smolder was all lean muscle.

“Hey girls! It’s been a while.” Smolder sat down and plucked a gem from the table. She munched on it immediately. “Oh! They got the good stuff for Spike. I hear this is going to be quite the happening place tonight.”

Sweetie Belle gave Apple Bloom a questioning look.

“I thought I’d invite over some company while you wait for Spike. You could warm up before your later fun.”

Ocellus blushed and stretched out across Smolder’s lap. She teased the dragon by rubbing at the small slit that divided her scales. “Yeah, me and Smolder don’t mind someone joining us now and then. Back in school, we’d grab whichever friend seemed like they needed it most.”

“And let’s not forget that time you went a bit wild, Smolder.” Scootaloo smiled and joined the pair on the couch.

“They still whisper about that at the school.”

Smolder stretched and sighed happily. She growled playfully as Ocellus continued to tease her. “Ah, good memories.”

“I’ve never got a good look at dragon or changeling mares up close,” Sweetie Belle said. “Five seems like a bit much for one couch, so why don’t I watch you four have fun?”

Smolder shrugged. “Sure, but feel free to jump in if you see a good opening. Ohh… those hooves are getting me hot.” Smolder pulled Ocellus close for a kiss.

Ocellus squeaked happily and slowly went down Smolder’s chest and belly with soft kisses as the dragon let her go. “Mmm… time to get some spicy love from my favorite source.” Ocellus’s horn glowed and Smolder’s smooth scales stretched to reveal the soft and sensitive flesh beneath. Ocellus nuzzled it and playfully licked over it before driving her muzzle in deeper.

“Ocelly! Ahh! You’re eager tonight!” Smolder petted Ocellus’s fin while gently thrusting her hips against the changeling’s face.

Scootaloo smiled from the side as she rubbed her clit with a hoof and enjoyed the show. “How’s the view, Sweetie Belle? Mmm… I’m thinking I’ll make it even better by doing this.”

Scootaloo lifted Ocellus’s flanks up and spread her legs to either side of her. Sweetie Belle watched closely as the smooth flowerlike folds of the changeling caught the light as Scootaloo spread them. It was much like a pony’s, but with a few extra little things here or there. Scootaloo pulled Ocellus’s snatch up for a taste as she slid under the changeling and positioned her own wet marehood to line up with Ocellus. Scootaloo lowered Ocellus slowly until their slick flowers met with a quiet squelch. With one hoof on the changeling’s back, Scootaloo started to grind into Ocellus.

Ocellus moans were muffled by Smolder’s slick dragon snatch, but her wings and tail flicked and buzzed. She rocked back and forth between Smolder and Scootaloo.

A jolt went through Sweetie Belle’s body as Apple Bloom leaned against her and pressed a hoof between Sweetie Belle’s legs.

“I’ll hoof you off if you do me,” she said. “This is too hot to watch without something to go with it, right?”

“Go easy. I don’t want to be stretched and sore when Spike gets back.”

Sweetie Belle mirrored Apple Bloom’s move. Her hoof was soon sinking into the slick warmth of her friend. She rolled it back and forth and side to side. She had plenty of experience playing with her two friends like this, so she knew how to push all the right spots.

The girls ordered some snacks and drinks to recover as they sat around in the lazy afterglow of their couple sessions of quick fun. Sweetie Belle wished she had been able to join in some of the more intense stuff, but she was waiting for Spike. If she kept this up, she’d be all over him the moment he walked in, especially after watching Smolder do some interesting things with her hands or tail. Ocellus got even more creative with some transformations.

“Just the smell is going to have Spike popping his cock out of his slit,” Smolder said. “I’ll be happy to see that.” She crunched on a blue gem and smiled.

“Do you think he’ll be shy with everyone here?” Sweetie Belle asked.

“Nah. Spike’s a dragon. We don’t mind showing off.”

Ocellus nuzzled Smolder. “That’s sometimes part of the fun.”

Sweetie Belle dug the amulet from Flurry Heart out of her bag and put it on. She didn’t want to deal with an upset princess as part of this trip, and the favor seemed harmless. A faint sense of the other pony flashed through her as the magic took effect. She could feel Flurry Heart squirming in anticipation one room over. Flurry Heart’s lust and eagerness mixed with her own, and the feeling nearly overwhelmed Sweetie Belle until it began to fade into the back of her mind.

The clatter of clawed feet outside the door made Sweetie Belle’s ears perk up. A key slid into the lock, and the door opened to reveal Spike. Even without striking a pose, his physique was stunning. Sweetie Belle purred and her wet flower tightened as she watched him carry in a big briefcase in one hand and a tray of food in the other.

“The staff said you all were waiting for me here, so I thought I’d grab dinner for everyone.” Spike sniffed the air. “Ah… it smells... nice in here! I hope you girls didn’t have too much fun without me.”

Spike brushed his lap. His fingers slipped as Sweetie Belle watched. They pulled just enough at his slit to show off his hardened tip inside.

Apple Bloom took the tray of food and started handing out the plates. “Well, let’s eat!”

Sweetie Belle sat next to Spike. His tail and wing kept brushing against her in increasingly lewd ways and Spike winked at her between bites.

“Let me help you with those,” Spike offered as he picked up her grapes.

He plucked them off the cluster one by one. He held them gently to her lips as she ate them. To tease Spike back, she let the juice from one spray on Spike’s fingers and then leaned forward to suck and lick at them lewdly. She sent just a little jolt of magic to tug on Spike’s tail. Smolder said all male dragons couldn’t resist that.

She was rewarded with Spike’s arousal finally breaking through his resistance. His slick shaft slid out of the slit that kept it hidden. The shaft throbbed and grew as Sweetie Belle nuzzled Spike under the chin. Her hoof slid down to play with his shaft and slit. She watched each inch of the shaft slide out. It dripped a single drop of the spicy pre. Sweetie Belle caught it and licked it off her hoof.

“It’s not dinner I’ve been starving for, Spike. Now that I’m of age, those old silly promises we made to Rarity and Twilight don’t matter. Take me like you did at the boutique that day.”

Spike kissed her ear. His hot breath on her sensitive ears made her fur stand on end.

“Mmm. I think I can do even better now, but what about all our friends?”

“You two have fun,” Smolder said. “We’ll join in later. Or make our own fun.”

Spike hugged Sweetie Belle against his muscular chest and spun her in the air as he stood up. “Let’s give them a nice show, then.”

Sweetie Belle was already so excited that she couldn’t resist grinding against Spike as she held onto him. The room was a blur as Spike quickly laid on his back in the bed and placed her on top of his firm abs. His ridged shaft pressed warmly against her flanks. It seemed much bigger than she remembered it.

“That’s going to feel even better inside me.”

Spike nodded. He ran a claw along her neck and drew her close for a kiss. Her wet nethers slid up and down the shaft that deliciously teased them, and each rub of Spike’s ridges and tip against her clit was like electricity. Spike kept it up until Sweetie Belle was gasping for breath.

“Spike! Take me!”

Sweetie Belle’s magic flashed and pushed Spike down just enough for her to reposition her slick entrance with his tip. She pressed down. Her moan filled the room as he stretched her with his thick cock. The heat of his shaft hilted against her flower as she nearly pressed down to his slit. Sweetie Belle had to take a deep breath and pause to realize she was still trying to grind against Spike with everything she had. Spike let out a little huff of flame before settling in with her on top of him.

“It’s cute to see you so needy. But let me help. I have much more control than when I was younger.”

Spike slid his hands down to her hips and thigh and lifted her up until only his tip was inside her. He slid her back down slowly and let her moist folds stretch and squeeze against the slight resistance of each ridge on his cock. He repeated the motion again and nibbled on her ear.

“Ah, enough warm up!”

His grip tightened. Her chest brushed against his with each rapid motion as he bounced her on his cock over and over. He adjusted the angle every few thrusts, so she could never get used to how his barbs and ridges played with her.

“S-Spike! I’m-”

She buried her chin against his chest to quiet her moan. Her entire body shook and clenched on his shaft even as her warm fluids trickled down to make his thrusts easier. He gave her a kiss and kept going even faster. His tail curled up and wiggled against her butt. His wings twitched each time he huffed and gasped with pleasure. He moved her up and down so fast, it almost felt like a vibrator until he stopped. He pulled her hips against his. Her wet folds brushed his slit and his entire length throbbed inside her. The intense but pleasurable heat of his climax filled her the next instant. More and more filled her until the hot dragon cum was dripping down her thighs and onto Spike’s lap.

“Oh Celestia… It’s good to be with you again.”

Sweetie Belle kissed him and smiled. “No scratches or bites this time. But maybe we could try that next time. Are you going to get all sleepy on me again?”

Spike yawned and laughed. “Only after I go a few more rounds. More mature dragons do last longer, but a few gems to keep up my energy always helps.”

Smolder passed a bowl of gems over and Spike munched on a few. She stroked Spike’s wing and shoulder. “I’m sure one male dragon is good enough to please all the females here. How about we join in?”

Smolder pushed Spike down on the bed and straddled his chest. She wrapped her tail behind his neck and leaned forward. She hugged Sweetie Belle and shivered as Spike’s tongue explored her wet and eager opening.

Ocellus’s wings buzzed as she scooted closer on the bed. She used her magic to guide Spike’s hand between her thighs. “Ahh… so much love… especially lust. I might get fat on all this love. Mmm… that’s the spot.”

Smolder stroked Sweetie Belle’s soft belly and circled a finger around her clit. Sweetie Belle gasped and rocked back and forth on Spike’s shaft.

“Spike’s going to be busy with everyone,” Smolder said. “But I’ll make sure round two is just as memorable as round one.”

Apple Bloom and Scootaloo both waited at the edge of the bed.

“So, you want his other hand or the tail?” Apple Bloom asked.

Scootaloo blushed. “Tail? I didn’t even know that was an option! Let me try it!”

Scootaloo pounced on Spike’s tail that was wagging and twitching in time with Sweetie Belle’s motions on Spike’s cock. By the time she wrestled it into place, it was slick with her fluids and the spade-like tip was stretching her tight pegasus pussy.

Apple Bloom more easily sat back on Spike’s hand.

“Oh boy! That’s it! Knead it like some soft pie dough.”

The sudden thrust from under her stopped Sweetie Belle from giggling at Apple Bloom’s saying. She bounced her flanks on Spike’s shaft and quickly got lost in the pleasure and heat of the amazing orgy while the amulet bounced on her fluffy chest.

Canterlot, Journey’s End

The crisp evening air of Canterlot greeted the trio as they shuffled slowly off the train and went to get their luggage. Scootaloo stretched her back until it popped in a satisfying way and fluffed up her wings. She had fallen asleep on top of one of them, and it would need a good preening to put the feathers back in place.

“Oh, Sweetie Belle! There you are!” Rarity’s unmistakable voice cut through the chatter of the busy station.

“Try not to say too much,” Sweetie Belle whispered. She took a deep breath and turned to her sister. “Thanks for coming, Rarity!”

“I’m sure you’re all tired after such a long trip. Let’s get your luggage sorted and find somewhere nice to relax where you can tell me all about it. How about a classy bar? Now that you’re old enough, it’ll be my treat.”

Scootaloo dropped the luggage handle in her mouth. “Free drinks? Awesome! We didn’t quite have time to try out any good bars while we were traveling. We were too busy with, uh, other stuff.” Scootaloo blushed as she remembered their various encounters.

“Other stuff?” Rarity smiled coyly. “I’m sure there are better words for it, but we’ll worry about that at the bar. Taxi! Taxi!”

Rarity hailed a taxi cart. They piled their luggage in the back and hopped inside. Soon their stuff was safely stowed at Rarity’s apartment, and the taxi pulled up to a bar named Black Velvet.

“This is the best bar in Canterlot,” Rarity explained. “It has a more relaxed jazz bar for those nights you want to feel sophisticated. But the other half has more of the party and dance atmosphere with the latest trends in youth fashion and music. I’ll pay for you three this time, but only if you tell me all about your trip. And I want every fun little detail.”

Sweetie Belle was blushing already, but Scootaloo was quickly feeling like she wasn’t going to care what she revealed to her friend’s sister. If Rarity wanted all the juicy details, she was going to get them.

Scootaloo took charge in telling the story. She pretended to be too embarrassed to share some details so that Rarity would keep buying them more drinks, at least while she still had enough focus to think that far ahead. By the end, the three of them were stumbling over each other to fill in details of their recent fun in the Dragonlands.

“Heh, Rarity’s just jealous that she never tried to get Spike,” Scootaloo said.

“I’ll admit to being curious,” Rarity said. “But he was always so young and innocent! And he was more of a friend. And I didn’t want to make things strange with Twilight, either.”

“Keep telling yourself that,” Sweetie Belle replied.

Rarity rolled her eyes. “I don’t know what I expected from a bunch of young mares getting drunk for the first time. I think you’ve all had quite enough to drink. I do have one more homecoming gift for you three. Let me order some food for you three, and then you might have somewhat clearer heads.”

Scootaloo’s ears perked up. “Oh? I like surprises!”

“Yes, yes. Waiter! Bring us some hay burgers and fries. I think that should help clear these three up.”

The waiter scribbled on his pad and quickly returned with the meal.

“So, what’s this surprise?” Scootaloo asked between bites.

“A little something some other old friends of yours helped with. After seeing so many other places, I thought you’d enjoy the best of what Equestria has, too. But that’s the only hint you’ll get.”

Rarity smiled and sipped her wine while they all ate quickly. She seemed shocked at how quickly the three ate.

“I’ve been thinking about something. I’m sorry how I treated you, Sweetie Belle, after I found you and Spike. I was shocked and my reaction was a bit extreme and hypocritical. It’s not like I haven’t enjoyed some special attention from some handsome stallions when I’ve had the chance. But it’s time to head over to the other side of this establishment. Come along.”

Rarity paid her tab before opening a thick black door. The muffled sounds of some dance music could be heard on the other side of an equally thick door on the other side of the hall. Rarity opened the other door, and their ears were blasted with the music. They stepped out into the party. Young mares and stallions were dancing in ways that made Scootaloo blush. Rarity walked around the side of the dance floor until she reached a large table.

Three familiar stallions sat there. Rumble had a confident smirk and waved at Scootaloo. He did look good, and Scootaloo had been on a few dates with the pegasus stallion already. She wondered if he’d be as impressive after all she’d done now.

Rumble had to poke Chipcutter to get the stallion to look up from the statue sketch he was working on. Chipcutter blushed and his wings spread wide as he looked at Apple Bloom. And completing the group was the slightly more mature Pistachio. He nodded in greeting at Sweetie Belle.

Rarity put a hoof on Sweetie Belle’s shoulder. “Think of this as an apology for how I treated you a few years ago. Have fun! I’m heading back to the other side to find a nice gentlecolt for the night.”

Rumble stood up and put a wing over Scootaloo’s back. “I could show you the latest dances.”

She smiled. “I’d like that, but how are things going with your cooking?”

“Great! But it has been a little tricky to master the gem recipes that Spike likes.”

Scootaloo blushed as she thought of their time with Spike, but she quickly pushed that out of her mind as she got to the dance floor with Rumble.

“The real trick to the new dances is to tease your partner just enough that it doesn’t make them indecent for public. It takes a lot of self-control.”

Rumble showed her the steps. Scootaloo followed them slowly once, and even in practice she could feel his sheath brush against her flanks before circling down under her tail as she slid under him then flipped over his back to start the dance again.

He winked at her. “But if you’d like, we could try the private version once we get out of here.”

“Let’s try it here a few times to see how much I like it.” She rubbed his chest with a hoof and began again. She tried to go faster to match the beat, but the alcohol was making it hard to stay very coordinated. Rumble had to catch her a few times, but they danced until they both were heated with the exercise and teasing motions.

Rumble tried to use a wing to cover his long shaft. He took Scootaloo off the dance floor and found one of the club security ponies. “Private dance room for two.” He handed the guard some bits and the guard handed him a key and pointed to a door behind him.

They went up a short stairway and to a hall full of windows that overlooked the dance floor. The music was almost as loud up here. A few private boxes overlooked the club. Rumble took the key and opened one. One-way glass made it seem like they were right above the dance floor. It almost felt like they were still in public as Rumble held out a hoof.

“I’ve felt how wet you are. Ready for the real dance?”

“Let’s put that training of yours to good use and see how long you can go.”

She brushed a wing over his long, thick shaft. She took her position in front of him and gasped as the warmth of his tongue teased her flower. He brushed against her as he danced to her side. She ducked under him and pushed her flanks up against his belly. They rotated in quick, short steps as the tip of his shaft traced a line of pre from her back to her flanks then between them. The beat of the music was in time with his quick thrusts as he gasped then pulled back.

Scootaloo spun and kissed his tip and gave it a quick suck before resetting for another set of dance steps. His pre ran down her lips. They teased each other through a few more rotations of the dance until finally Rumble placed his hooves to the sides of her belly and mounted her back.

“Scoots, mmm… you’re amazing.” Rumble nuzzled her ears and kissed the back of her neck as he eased into her.

She trembled as the wonderful feeling of his cock filling her washed over her. She had been with many creatures and friends on her travels, but there was something right on an instinctual level about the length and shape of a good stallion’s cock. Scootaloo adjusted her stance to let Rumble’s shaft rub against her favorite spots as she dripped on the floor.

“You going to relax up there? I know you can do better.”

Rumble huffed and tightened his grip. His wings flapped and his hips bucked against hers. He hilted inside her and she couldn’t help but moan loudly. The delicious feeling of his cock pulled back until it was barely teasing her before it filled her again. She matched his motions and let his cock stretch and pleasure her until her hooves and wings were trembling.

“Rrr… almost there!”

His teeth clamped down on her mane. His hooves brushed over her sensitive belly as he pulled her in tight. The warmth of his cum filled her until it was dripping down her legs.

“Welcome back, Scoots. I hope that was a good welcome for you.”

His chin rested on the back of her head as he took a moment to catch his breath. Scootaloo wanted to kiss him, but she also didn’t want the amazing feeling of her entire body milking his shaft to end just yet.

In another private room at the club, Sweetie Belle rubbed Pistachio’s chin with a hoof and looked into his eyes. The light sweat of their lovemaking was cooling off as they lay together on a couch. Sweetie Belle’s horn glowed as the vibration spell still continued to shake the young stallion’s shaft inside her. She stopped the spell with a pleased sigh.

“Ahh, you’re my favorite pony,” Sweetie Belle said.

“I was worried you might lose interest after seeing so many exotic creatures.”

“I did say pony.” Sweetie Belle laughed softly. “But I wouldn’t mind a pony and dragon in bed with me at the same time.”

Pistachio blushed and stammered. His country upbringing meant he was easily embarrassed, even if Sweetie Belle knew he secretly liked to try things beyond vanilla sex.

“You’re so cute when you get flustered. But don’t worry about that right now.”

He slowly pulled out. Sweetie Belle smiled and used her magic to make him shiver as she stroked his sensitive cock. She contained a mouthful of his cum and floated it up to her mouth before messily licking it up.

“And I’ve never met anyone who tastes like you do. Just like pistachios.”

They both laughed and snuggled.

On the other side of the room, Apple Bloom was sipping water to recover after her own session with Chipcutter. The pegasus’s speed and strength were amazing, and he always was so firm and precise in his motions, just like when he was sculpting. He was worn out and dozing on Apple Bloom’s fluffy chest now. His spent shaft was dripping a mess onto her lap, but she didn’t mind. It was good to be back to Equestria.

They later found their way back to Rarity’s apartment to wash up and go to bed, even if it was very late. They all slept in, but Scootaloo woke to a quiet knocking on the door.

“Celestia says she wants to see you three,” Rarity said. “She said to be at the castle at 11 to join her for lunch.”

At least Celestia was being merciful with the time. They all had slight hangovers from the night, so they took their time in getting ready. It was best to look respectable when visiting the castle.

A guard led them to the dining room. Celestia had them all sit around the table and smiled. “I hope your trip went well. I’d enjoy hearing just how closely you connected to friends of every sort.”

“But you’re a princess,” Sweetie Belle said.

“Yes, but that doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy feeling young again by listening to such promising young mares. Please don’t leave anything out.”

They began. Some servants brought tea and cookies. By the time they finished their stories, the servants were bringing in lunch. Once the servants were gone from the room, Celestia leaned in close to speak quietly.

“I find having intimate experience with different creatures helps you work with them much better. Your experiences should help you in those teaching positions at the School of Friendship. I already told Starlight Glimmer to hire you.”

Scootaloo jumped off her chair “Wow! That’s amazing! Thank you! Thank you!”

Celestia chuckled and levitated her fork into the air. “My own experiences helped me keep some truces with the dragons and griffons, but those are stories for another time. We shouldn’t let lunch get cold.”

“Wait… you…” Apple Bloom stammered.

Celestia took a bite of her food before answering. “I did. Torch was a quite difficult to manage. He’s always been huge. You’re lucky Spike is still a nice size. And Grandpa Gruff used to be very suave and handsome in his younger years. Mmm… I still remember the fun we had.”

The three young mares had their mouths open in surprise.

“Good friendships lead to good diplomacy, but sometimes it helps to have something a little more primal to keep bonds strong. It’s good to get some experience with that while you’re young. Don’t you think?”

“O-of course!” Scootaloo answered.

“And after your stories, maybe I’ll go try a nice hippogriff stallion again. It’s been far too long.”

“So did you just send us out… to have fun like that? That’s really what you expected?” Apple Bloom asked.

“It’s part of what I wanted. You also solved a few friendship problems along the way and brought some influential creatures among Equestria’s allies closer. You all did well, and you got to have fun along the way.”

Author's Note

That's a wrap! If you couldn't tell from the long breaks between some chapters, I lost momentum on writing this. It probably would have worked better as a series of shorter stories instead of one long one, but I appreciate all of you readers who stuck along for the ride. On my brainstorming list, I also had other ideas to go to more places with more minor characters, but I already felt the story was going on long enough. This seemed a nice time to finish it.
