As Luck Would Have It

The pressures of being young are often looked over as a passing phase. With school, homework, extracurricular activities, girlfriends and boyfriends, family life and jobs all rolling into one, many would say that it is not as hard as it will be in the future. However, that’s because many have rose colored glasses on the subject. People tend to forget what it was like when they were young and pine for the days when their parents paid the rent. They don’t remember when you were stuck with a teacher you didn’t like, or what kind of pressure it was to make straight A’s in school or what it was like wondering if you were ever going to lose your virginity. For Patch, this phase had been following him for far longer than expected.

It was only half a year since Patch Note graduated from high school. He got his associate’s degree in Ranch U on a scholarship, but that scholarship only paid for the courses, not the books. He recently had to leave his last apartment because the leaseholder left and he had to find another apartment fast. Now he was regretting having to do it so quickly. He felt that if he had just chosen his quarters more carefully, he would have been spared the wrath of one Solar Flare. This mare was a terror to live with on a regular basis. Some may say that he was overreacting and some would say that he just had to get use to her. After a while, maybe she wasn’t so bad.

No, after five months of living with her, he could very truthfully say that he would rather live with a timberwolf. Nothing he did for the apartment was good enough for her. She would sit in her room for hours without doing a single chore. The minute she walked into the common area, she would leave magazines, books, beauty products, food containers, dishes and candy wrappers lying all over the floor. Ten minutes later, she would bitch at Patch for not cleaning up the mess.

His only solace in this case was that he enjoyed his job, and he very quickly became a supervisor at the video game store on Star Lane. Not to mention it was close enough to home that he could walk there if he got a thirty minute head start, which he often did, given his predicament.

The only real thing she did was pay the rent on time, and that was a miracle as far as he could tell. She had about the personality of a brick and the bedside manner of a tubeworm. Patch sometimes wondered if he deserved half of the crap she shoveled out to him. Maybe this is what female roommates were always like. He didn’t know. He’d never lived with a mare before.

He stood in front of the mirror of his bathroom, putting on his black uniform t-shirt and pinning on his nametag. Video Star was an old company originating out of Ponyville, but it moved its way into other territories of Equestria, so there were four other locations in Ranchtown. This was good, because it meant that he was able to pick up other shifts from other stores if anyone called in sick or were let go for one reason or another. He’d been working there for six months, right before he graduated high school, and yet he was made a supervisor after two months because of his efficiency and knowledge of the gaming world. He was pretty proud of this fact, actually.

“Hey! The dishes need to get done, Patch!” Solar Flare called from the mini-kitchen directly connected to the common area.

“I’ll get them done after work, I’m about to leave.” Patch said as he ran his hands through his brown hair as he put on his black baseball cap. He started hurrying a little more. The more he dawdled, the more she was going to ride him about the dishes, even though he had already done them that morning. The fact that he cleaned and dried them along with putting them away apparently didn’t occur to Solar Flare as a good thing. It was never enough. He got out of the bathroom and saw the pink and blond earth pony standing in the middle of the living area wearing nothing but a small pair of white panties and a small gray tank top.

Solar Flare didn’t have much in the ways of cup size, but she was still slender and absolutely beautiful. Not to mention, Patch had never had a marefriend who shared any kind of intimacy with him. All of his relationships were rated PG with not much in the ways of adult content. He’d kissed two mares in his life. One was drunk and one was after prom with the mare closing the door and breaking up with him a week before graduation.

“So, when I come home tonight, the dishes will be done, right?” Solar said with her bare hoof tapping on the carpet.

“Yeah, I’ll get off at around eight tonight.” He said as he grabbed his backpack from the doorway in his room before closing the door. The tan colored earth pony slung the backpack over his shoulders as he straightened his hat in a mirror next to the front door.

Solar Flare scoffed and went back to her room where her phone was going off. Patch couldn’t help but get another look at her very visible ass cheeks. He knew he shouldn’t. Not only did he loathe her, but he was also just tormenting himself. Sure, she was the subject of many of his fantasies when he jerked off in his room, but those fantasies ended up disgusting him afterward and it would only make him hate himself more when all was said and done.

Before she could come out of her room and complain about something else, he made his way out the door and started walking down the flights of stairs. Sure, his job could get boring and tedious, especially during price changes and inventory nights, but gaming was something of a passion of his. He beat the new Spider-mare game within two days of getting it, and the extra day was just because he had to do his ridiculous amounts of chores around the apartment. He had a Neptune 5 system and a Nightblade handheld console. Many would ask why he only had those two systems but he really couldn’t help himself for being a poor college student. He still had a ridiculous game library of both systems.

Patch wanted an original Neptune system, but those things were very difficult to find, and a lot of the games each cost more than the console. He prided himself on game knowledge far before his time. He had even played a lot of those games that no one his age had heard about. These were some of the reasons why he thrived in his job. It was a short walk to the store. He had a working piece of crap car, but he rarely drove it because of gas costs.

Patch walked into the front of the store and was greeted by a very welcome sight. His bright green unicorn buddy lifted up his hands and whooped.

“Apache!” Blast Drive shouted as he pumped both of his fists in the air. “The one and only, the colt of the hour, the tower of power! What is up!” Blast said as he was changing out a poster ad at the front desk to show the new game coming out in a month that Patch had no interest in whatsoever but still knew every minute detail about.

“Hey Blast, what’s on the agenda today?” Patch said as he went behind the counter to clock in.

“You’re looking at it, bro. Beyond this, we just need to get three presales each and we’re home free.” Blast said as he was changing out a poster at the front desk. It was to advertise a new game coming out that month; Patch had no interest in it whatsoever but somehow knew every minute detail about.

“Just three? How did that come about?” Patch asked as he looked at the upcoming games list.

“Well, you and me sold almost ten each on Monday, bro. That kind of happens when you outshine every Video Star in the city. The District Manager said we knocked it out of the park. So, of course, he probably wants us to presell five. It’s always good to one up.” Blast went behind the counter and started slapping Patch’s shoulder with front hands and back hands. “So, you see that chick naked yet?”

“No.” Patch said as he feigned a defensive posture from Blast’s little slaps. “I’m telling you, as hot as she is, her craziness far outweighs it.”

“Uh, yeah, and you dusting the shelves and cabinets pretty much means she should be at least walking around the house naked. If I was living with her, I wouldn’t settle for anything less than some naked boobage for each time I cleaned up that damn sink.” The unicorn rolled his eyes and leaned his tail against the counter. “You gotta kick that bitch to the curb, bro.”

“I know. Living with her is a damn nightmare, I’ll be lucky to last another month, let alone the next six months I have on my lease.” Patch sighed. “She only digs the macho sports type. I have about as much chance of getting in her pants as I do getting an actual marefriend.”

“Stranger things have happened, bro. I ain’t exactly swimming in women but I heard that after you break the V-card, you’ll wonder where all the sex is coming from. It’s like non-stop after that. Just keep being a nice guy, and you won’t have a bitch who craves asshole stallions. You know what I’m saying?” The slender green unicorn snickered as Patch opened up his register.

“Lot of good it’s done me so far. I’m twenty three and I haven’t even seen a naked woman, much less gotten one under the covers.” Patch said this as both of them looked to the front door to see a blue pegasus mare walk in. This was a sight to behold. She looked absolutely smoking hot, but she wore the most boyish clothing. She didn’t have short hair, but it wasn’t really long either.

The mere sight of this woman was so middle of the road, it almost hurt to look at her as she waved at the two of them. She wore a small blue jacket and a black t-shirt underneath that covered up her moderate sized breasts saying “No Loading Zone.” She immediately went to the side of the store that held their Cobalt games. She had a Cobalt Blue system, it seemed. Cobalt Entertainment Consoles were the leading competitor to Neptune. The two of them had been in a rat race for generations, but the Neptune always seemed to end up on top no matter how hard Cobalt tried.

“Hi, welcome to Video Star, can I help you find something today?” Patch said as the pegasus stared at the game selection. The baseball cap on her head was backwards, so she pulled it off her head and scratched her orange mane.

“I’m looking for a multiplayer game that I can play with a second controller. Are there any good ones?” She asked, picking up a Cobalt game box and looking at the back.

“Well, those are in rare quantity now. Unfortunately, everything has been going online, so people have to play with other systems.” Patch said as he walked out from behind the counter and looked up at the selection. “You’ve got Smiley Doll, but that’s more of a younger generation game, but then if you don’t mind some blood, you can do Golden Bullet.” He said as he reached up to the second shelf and pulled out a game with a whole bunch of guns that caught her eye.

“Oh, yes, this is closer to what I’m looking for.” She read it, and saw that there was a four player option. “And this is a pretty good game?”

“Yeah, it’s a remake of the old Cobalt Ice system game, and they did a pretty decent job of capturing its original selling point.” Patch said and took the other game she was holding, putting back on the shelf in its alphabetical order.

“Wow, thanks,” She turned and looked at his nametag. “Patch Note. Keep this up and I’ll make this game store my go-to.” She smiled sweetly at him and he smiled back at her. “I’ll take this one.”

“Awesome! I can get you right over here.” He pointed at the register as he walked behind the counter. “Were there any other games you had your eye on for future releases?” He asked as he wiggled the mouse to get the computer going again.

“Yeah, but I don’t know if I want to pre-order it. I enjoyed the other Blood Stone games, but this new one just looks questionable to say the least. I like to conquer worlds that have a bit of challenge to them, but this one seems like I could just lift a finger and take over a continent.” She got her wallet out of her back pocket and searched out her debit card. “I’ve got some sleazy bitches that need to be taught a lesson in gaming tonight, so I need a shoot’em up so I can clock some bullets in their skulls.”

“Wow, damn, you sound like the craziest bitch at the party!” Blast said, drawing a surprised look from Patch. At first, he was going to apologize to her for him, but then she started laughing.

“You’re damn right! If I could kill them in their sleep in a video game, I totally would!” She smiled big but then looked for her other card. “I don’t know if I have my Video Star card.”

“Oh, we just need your number.” Patch said, giving Blast an odd look, but he simply shrugged at him. Patch punched in her number on his computer to get her account info from the database, and all of her info popped up on the screen. “Alright, Vertigo, you have a hundred and ten points on your account after this purchase, so you’ll be able to buy a full game after a few more purchases.”

“Sweet! I’ll just have to take out a few more hit victims before I can afford any of those fancy collector’s editions, though. Those give the real points!” She said this, and both of them looked at each other, giving her another odd look. “What? I meant getting better at games! I’m not an assassin or anything. That would be…” She grinned as evil as she could at both of them. “...Silly.”

She popped her debit card into the machine and paid for the game. Patch got her a bag and slid her game into it as he handed it to her, then put the receipt inside.

“Thanks for stopping by.” Patch said, and both of them waved at her as she started for the door.

“Thanks guys! Thanks for the help! Talk at you later!” Vertigo flapped her wings a little bit as it was caught in a bit of the cold winter wind. Her jacket didn’t seem at all fit for the weather that day, but she didn’t seem all that bothered by it at all.

“You see, you need a girl like that. She was hot, a gamer, and she was the good kind of crazy. She’s the one you need to hook up with. You got her phone number, you need to put that in your phone, and call her about a bullshit question about her account. Then, when you got her all confused, start asking her what she’s doing tonight, and move in for the kill.”

“Yeah, get right on that.” Patch said, but then saw that her phone number was still on his computer screen and thought for a minute. Before he could even act on any of those urges, Blast was already writing the number down on a notepad. He tore the note right out of the pad and slapped it down on the counter in front of Patch.

“There ya go, bro! Your time to shine. I bet you could do it in like an hour, or maybe an hour and a ha--” Blast started to say, but then stopped as he saw another female walk into the store. This one was a gray bat pony girl with fiery orange hair and soft, blue eyes. She was built solid, it seemed, and while all of these were wonderful physical qualities, what caught both of their eyes were her breasts were lethal weapons all their own. She looked like she could turn to the side and knock someone out with those things flopping around.

“Welcome to Video Star, please let us know if we can do anything to help you.” Blast said it this time, which drew a surprised look from Patch, because he never said the full greeting.

The bat pony looked at both of them and smiled, waving. To their surprise, she was looking at the full console systems. The really high end Cobalt Blue and Neptune 6 systems that were in the display cases with the high quality space and the games that came with them.

“Yeah, I’m wanting to buy one of these systems, and I was wondering which one I should get. My boyfriend really wants me to get into these and he wasn’t very good at explaining these things to me. Which one should I get?” She turned to the pair and smiled. Her white shirt perfectly outlining the bra underneath as it held her enormous jugs.

“Spider-mare Neptune 6.” Both of them said in perfect sync.

She blinked, then looked at them both with a surprised expression. “Spider-mare?” She asked and both nodded with full confidence. “I heard it was pretty good.”

“Pretty good?” Patch chuckled, and she chuckled along with him at his very vigorous tone. “It’s the greatest thing ever created in this world, ever!” Patch said, making her laugh even harder. “The controls are perfect, the storyline is pristine, the combat system is outstanding and the replay value is through the roof. It just makes you want to play it.”

“Well, okay then.” She said as she finally stopped laughing long enough to talk again. “Alright, what other games are good along with the Neptune 6?” She asked as she tapped on the glass. “I’ll need some games to go along with it.”

“Oh, well, let’s go to the wall.” Patch walked out toward the wall in front of a very jealous Blast Drive. He started on his spiel as he went to the wall, recommending games for her of various natures. He got her three first person shooters, two roleplaying games, two fighting games, five adventure games and two survival horror that won game of the year in the last three years. “These are the titular games for any collection.” He laid the stack down in front of her. As he did this, Blast was already going through their cabinet of used games and pulling them out like a good assistant. “Which ones interest you?”

“All of them, I’ll ring them all up. Do I need accessories?” She asked, looking behind the desk at all of the controllers and different kinds of attachments that go along with it.

Both employees stared at her with wide eyes as she smiled at them both.

“Um, yeah, since you have a boyfriend, he’ll probably need a controller, but it can hold four at a time.” Patch said, and she nodded.

“I’ll take all four, just get me different colors so I know which one belongs to which. Then I’ll need some code cards to get those DLC’s that Diamond Sword keeps raving about. He’ll want those.”

They were frantic in their search for these items, laying them out in front of her, along with the full box set for the Spider-mare Neptune 6. They rang up everything on the counter.

“So, if your boyfriend is so into games, why doesn’t he have one of these systems?” Patch asked, almost afraid to undermine their enormous sale.

“Oh, he does, but he wants to start doing LAN parties at some point, so I wanted to help him with it. He’s not going to be at the house tonight, though. I have some friends coming over tonight and I’ll need to set this all up. So, if no one knows how to set it up, I may have to sit this one out.” She said as she looked at all of the items she had for purchase. “Maybe I should wait.”

“No!” Blast Drive said, surprising both of them. “Patch Note can help you set it all up tonight! This guy is a prodigy of gaming, and the perfect employee to make house calls!” He pointed at the brown earth pony with both of his hands in a shaking fashion as if he were showing off a grand prize for a game show.

“Really?” She asked, looking at Patch, whose eyes were very wide at this point. “Do you think you could help me?”

“Well, I--”

“Of course he can! He’ll have your system up and running in no time flat. Just give him a time and a place and he will set you right up!” Blast Drive smiled and caught a flabbergasted look from Patch. “Would you like to pre-order some games too?”

Patch was about to stop Blast right there. If they pile too much stuff on her all at once she was liable to break down in a fit of confusion and anxiety from all of the new stuff. To his surprise, though, she was looking up above the counter at the list of upcoming games.

“Are there any good games coming out?” She asked. “Oh! Dragon Helm is coming out for the Neptune?”

“Yes!” Both of them exclaimed, and she clapped her hands together in delight.

“Yes! I will preorder that. This was a good idea, I love Dragon Helm. Is that the game with the expansion?” She asked and both of them nodded.

“It’s coming out with all of the current expansions, plus the new one that is exclusive to consoles.” Patch said, and she clapped her hands again with excitement. “I’ll put you down for the preorder. I think you should be all set for that.” He said as he scanned up the last of her items, coming out to seven hundred and fifty five bits. “You have a membership, right?”

“Oh, I have a Pro membership.” She said as she brought out her card for him to scan.

“Excellent, because this is some serious points. I think one of these games is going to be free.” Patch said as he got her info. “Okay, Grem, you’re all ready.”

“Thank you both, so much. You really saved the party tonight for me. I really was excited that all of my friends were coming over, but my boyfriend was taking his console with him to his friend’s house, so I couldn’t use it. When can you come over to setup my system?” Grem asked, batting her eyelashes at her new knight in shining armor.

“Oh, anytime you want.” Blast said, giving Patch a thumbs up. Patch gave him another crazy look.

“It starts at eight, so I’ll need it set up about an hour early.” She said as she started gathering up all of her freshly purchased merchandise.

“Ummm, okay. I’ll be there at seven, then.” Patch said with a meek, nervous smile.

“Thank you so much, I really do appreciate it. I’ll give your manager the best review for you.” Grem said as she smiled sweetly. “I’ll see you tonight!”

“Bye, Grem!” Blast waved at her. As soon as the door closed, he whirled around and slapped Patch on one shoulder with both hands. “Duuuuuuuuuuuuude!!! You’re sooooo fucking lucky! I cannot believe it!”

“Yeah, we made some great attachment sales right there, it’ll look really good on our numbers.” Patch smiled at him, but then received another two slaps on his shoulder.

“No! You dingus! You’re gonna be at a totally hot bat pony’s house whose tits are as big as my head! You are in, man!” Blast pumped both fists in the air. “YES!”

“But she has a boyfriend. I’m not exactly there as a date.” Patch signed off all of the purchases they just did and started going to the back to put another Neptune 6 Spider-mare edition in the case to replace the other.

“Man, she is going to have friends over tonight, and you’re there! I’m covering for you for the last hour of your shift and closing tonight anyway! It’s in the bag! I am so damn jealous, bro. This is one of those times I wish I was single.” Blast’s smile never left his face as he watch Patch come out with a new system to put in the case. “You owe me, bro! I totally just hooked you up with a smoking mare, and I expect details of the juiciest calibre! You lucky bastard!”

“Dude, I’m just there to set up her system. I doubt anything’s going to happen.” Patch said, then looked over at his screen with all of her info on it, including her phone number and address. He wrote it down on the same piece of paper that Blast put Vertigo’s number on.

“Bump that shit, bro. You are going to get some numbers, and you are going to hold some girl’s hand. You remember your first kiss? This is going to blow that out of the water. You are gonna see some tits, too!” Blast spoke in the most serious tone that he had ever seen. The unicorn seemed entirely adamant about Patch getting a mare of his own. “You need some confidence! Confidence is one of the sexiest traits you can bring to the party, and it will get you in a bedroom in a hurry. When a mare asks you if you want to go to a movie, you say ‘yes, what movie and what time? I’ll pay for tickets.’ When she asks you to dance, you get on that dance floor and you throw all inhibitions out the window and dance like your life depended on it, no matter how terrible it is. This is your chance, Patch Note! And I’ll be damned if you’re gonna pass it up! Seven o’clock, you’re out of here!”

Patch was now watching Blast get into his face, looking him in the eyes. He was wagging his finger in front of the brown pony’s snout and his voice was quite intense.

“But… I’m supposed to do dishes tonight…” Patch said in a meek tone.

Blast’s brow furrowed, growing rage incarnate in his face as he blew steam from his nose. He grabbed a random red lightsaber, pressed the button and slipped it out at full blade and wacked Patch across the face with it, causing him to fall to the ground.

Grem walked to the door as the doorbell rang. She was now dressed in her more nerdy outfit with the Dragon Helm master warrior on the front of a black shirt, decked out in amazing armor. She had on khaki shorts and houseshoes. The batpony opened the door to see Patch Note there still in his Video Star uniform.

“Hey, Patch! Come on in!” She smiled at him and waved. His eyes instantly went to her breasts as they jiggled. Clearly, she was not wearing a bra anymore.

“Hi, yeah, thanks.” Patch said, taken a little off guard by her free chested wobbling. She led him into the living room as he took off his shoes. She had an amazing house, as he figured she would with how much money she was able to spend at the store. Her living room was almost pure white carpet with a few pictures on the wall of her with a white unicorn that he could only imagine was Diamond Sword. She had a fireplace with white bricks around it. Her couch was a beautiful beige and she had three reclining chairs that looked like she got them especially for this LAN party she was throwing at her house. “Wow, your house is amazing.”

“Thank you. Can I get you something to drink?” She motioned toward her dining room with the various sodas and energy drinks laid out for her guests. “I just ordered the pizza, so they should be here a little while after the party starts.”

“Oh, no, I’m fine. Thanks. Is this screen the one you’re playing off of?” He pointed to the TV and saw the Video Star plastic bags underneath it. He found it to be a stupid question at that point and went to the bags to uncover all of the treasures they possessed.

“Yeah, and I’m sorry I didn’t get to open the boxes and such. I’ve been so busy preparing for the party.” She said and he was already shaking his head, waving it off.

“Oh, it’s no problem at all, I love doing this sort of thing. It’s like waking up Hearth’s Warming morning.” He smiled at her and she giggled. He pulled open the Neptune 6 box and marveled at the wonderful Spider emblem etched across the system’s case. It was a beautiful red with a black spider stretched across it and spider webs all over it. His heart melted at the very sight of it. The simple fact that he was putting it together made this whole trip well worth it. He started hooking up the wires and the cables together. Once it was connected, he set up her interface on the system and input her data. She watched him with some amazement. She’d seen this all done before, but he was doing it without even a thought. Every single adjustment that needed to be made he did naturally.

“Wow, are you almost done?” Grem asked as she watched him get to the main game menu screen. “That was really fast.”

“Yeah, and I’m loading up Spider-mare on here. What game will you and your friends be playing?” Patch asked as he started the disc downloading. He was astounded as he saw the storage space that her system had. One terabyte with infinite possibilities and all kinds of extra goodies for the game itself as it was technically a collector’s edition.

That’s when the doorbell rang and Grem was interrupted in her response. “Oh, I need to get that. Just load up anything that’s multiplayer and fun at parties. Can you do that?”

“Of course, I already have three in mind.” Patch said and she giggled.

“You’re amazing.” She got to the door and opened it up with a squeal. “Lemon!”

Lemon Square stood at the door and embraced her tight, both of their lips meeting in a very deep, strangely erotic kiss. Patch noticed this and put on a puzzled face as they rubbed each others’ backs, making out for a brief moment. The yellow earth pony with purple hair walked in with Grem and saw Patch with the controller in his hand. She looked down at all of the gamer box stuff and video games in their little cases.

“Wow, Grem. Where did all of this stuff come from? You got all of these games and even hired a Video Star employee?” Lemon asked and saw him, measuring him up. “I’m liking this already.”

“No, you tramp. Patch was just nice enough to help me set up my game system. He even made some suggestions on what games to get for tonight. Now he’s loading them up as we speak while I set up for the party. Patch, this is Lemon Square, she’s one of my best friends.”

“Oh, nice to meet you.” He held his hand out to her and she took it, but pulled it closer to her as she leaned in to his shoulder and chest. She sniffed him for a minute in a very surprising moment. She blinked as she looked him in the face and then sniffed him in long breaths.

“Charmed.” She smiled as she was done sniffing and shook his hand. It was those green eyes of his that made her heart flutter. She let go of his hand with a wink. Patch gazed at her, dumbfounded as she chuckled and went off to the dining room to fix herself a drink.

Patch’s heart was still pounding as he continued to load up the game. He knew he wasn’t really invited to play at the party, and truth be told, he didn’t expect that they would let him stay in while they played. It was fine, though, he wasn’t going to ask nor did he want to intrude on their game night. Still, he could ride it out as far as it would go.

There came another doorbell and Lemon Square was the one who went to go get it. She walked by Patch as close as she could and he could just feel the grin on her face as she brushed up against his back with her arm. The throbbing of his chest muscle was the only thing he heard, even when Grem put on her stereo to play some background music.

“Cut, welcome to life! How’s it going girlfriend?” Lemon Square hugged the short, plump green unicorn as she brought in the pizza. She gave Lemon a little smile as she walked in.

“Hi. The pizza place took a minute.” Final Cut walked in and headed to the kitchen. Patch looked over at the blond unicorn as she passed him by and she gave him a nod as she noticed him. “Hi, I didn’t know guys were gonna be here.” Her voice was void of any real emotion, but her shy nature showed through her face as she tensed up a bit on her way to the kitchen table to lay her pizza down with all of the other refreshments.

“Patch is helping me setup my new game system. He helped me choose it and got me a whole bunch of games with it! He was so nice that he came all the way from work just to assist me. He’s such a gentle colt.” Grem passed him by and put her hand on his side as she leaned her chin against his shoulder in something of a hug. “I can’t thank you enough.” She whispered into his ear and his face flushed to a critical red.

“M-my pleasure, m-m-ma’am.” He smiled over at her. Her face was so close to his and her blue eyes were so gentle.

“Call me Grem.” She pecked his nose and his penis instantly reacted by pulsing to life.

It was getting harder and harder to stand. Grem seemed to notice he was struggling to stay on his hooves because she pushed a gamer chair up behind him and baid him to sit. He sat on the chair as the doorbell sounded again. There was apparently another one, he thought, as if three mares wasn’t enough.

The voice he heard from the door was very familiar as Grem opened it up. A chill ran up his spine from the recognition. He looked over to see a pegasus mare with orange hair and blue fur. It was the backwards red cap that she wore that really sailed it home for him. She was Vertigo, apparently the game she got from the store was for this party. In one arm she held a Cobalt Blue while in the other she held a small flat screen TV.

“What up, bitches! Who’s ready to get creamed?!” She shouted as she leaned her head onto Grem’s shoulder in an armless hug.

“Hey, girl, we’re almost set up here.” Grem looked down at her system and her brow furrowed. “What is that system?”

“It’s the greatest system ever, that’s what it is! The Cobalt Blue has the hookup to help me own all of your asses! Where can I set it up?” Vertigo asked, then saw the pony sitting in the middle of the living room. “Hey, aren’t you that game store clerk?”

“Yeah, hey, I didn’t know you were coming here tonight.” Patch said with a smile.

“Well, I could say the same thing. Why did you get a Neptune 6? Where the hell are we supposed to set up the LAN?!” She gave all of them a mean look. “What happened here?”

“Patch said that Neptune was the way to go. I thought that’s what you had.” Grem said as she seemed to defend him, but at the same time she was selling him out.

“What?! I thought you were an expert,” She looked down at his nametag. “Patch!”

“I… I kind of am.” Patch blinked and set in another game to the console to load it up. “She asked me what system she should buy and I gave her the numbers. Not to mention, she wanted to play Spider-mare, and Cobalt doesn’t play Spider-mare.”

Vertigo scowled at the stallion with the stink eye. Obviously, the fact that Spider-mare was exclusive to the Neptune 6 was a bit of a raw subject. She gave a little growl and then looked over at Lemon, who was also setting up a Neptune 6 with her own TV.

“Lemon! What the hell?” Vertigo started to huff as her eyes went from Cut to Grem to Lemon, then to Patch. “Mutiny!”

“We can still play with you, Vertigo, it’ll just be local 2-player.” Cut said as she was chowing down on the pizza. “I’ll play with you.”

“Thank you, Cut. See? Cut knows what’s going on. She knows what’s happening! Come on, we’ll have fun with guns and shooting while they play their Spider-mare multiplayer. Oh, that’s right, there is no Spider-mare multiplayer! HA!” Vertigo went to the coffee table and started to set up her system and TV.

They went on like that for a little bit until all three systems were up and running. Patch put the rest of her games on a shelf along with her movies in alphabetical order. Grem started up the multiplayer server for Lemon and they started a game.

“Well, if you don’t need anything else, I can get going.” Patch said, and all at once, their games paused.

“Wait, what?!” Grem asked as she stood up from her chair with a look of disappointment. “What do you mean go? You’re not staying for the party?”

“Oh… I thought you just wanted me to set up the games. I’ve set up five of them, they’re updated and ready to start. You… you want me to stay?”

“YES!” All four of them said and stood up. Lemon, Grem and Vertigo came to him and embraced him tight, starting to rub their fronts onto him. By this time, his khaki pants were getting pretty tight. His penis was as hard as a diamond by that point, and he could even feel a bit of precum dripping from the tip at the feeling of their breasts.

“Oh, Patch, I can’t thank you enough for helping me. I feel like it’s the very least I could do. Please, you must be starving, having come all the way from work just to help me. Please, help yourself to some food and drink. Make yourself at home and power up a controller. Show me how good you are.” Grem said as she ran her hand over his chin, making him gulp hard. He had never felt the touch of a woman, not like this. “Will you please stay?”

“Oh, yeah. I can stay. I would love to.” Patch Note gave a meek little smile. They gave a little cheer and Grem pecked him on the snout once again. The brown pony guy once again blushed to the fullest extent.

“Good! Now get ready to die!” Lemon said as she logged in under the name GreenAvenger9. The game was a military shooter with several different classes of soldier. Patch had played the older version of the game on his system, but this one had graphics that blew him away. Using his knowledge of the original game, he chose the Gunnery type with the missile launcher and the sidearm machine gun. Lemon got onto her class, the flame bat, who was a gas masked chem gear soldier with a flamethrower on his back. Grem chose a sharpshooter type with a sniper rifle and a pistol sidearm.

“Alright, we’re in. Let’s make they big head so hard!” Grem said as the match started for the free for all. “Just take it easy on me, remember, I haven’t played this, and I’m a beginner who just got a new system.” Grem said, but her voice was devoid of actual life as her concentration was completely into the game.

Patch read the red flag in almost an instant. The fact that she was gazing into the game with no distractions and perfect knowledge of where to go gave him the funny feeling that he was getting played!

“Oh, hello there.” Grem’s character fired without a scope and hit Patch’s character in the chest for perfect damage, killing him instantly.

“Damn!” Lemon shouted, seeing the kill and firing up the flame thrower as she caught wind of Grem’s character.

Patch’s eyes widened. Grem’s facade was perfect. Coming to his shop and acting like she had no idea what she was doing, calling him over to play and acting like she had no idea how to set up her game system. He was playing the fool!

The game was on! Missiles flew into bullets, sniper headshots rang out with amazing precision, and flames engulfed the arena as their characters met in a showdown for the ages. Grem was good, she was very good. In fact, if he didn’t know better, he would say she had the potential to be in the top ranked players. However, Patch was now in his element. He figured out the controls and his strategy perfectly. The titans clashed in battle and explosions ensued!

“Damnit! Come on, Patch, don’t let up now! Show me what you got!” Grem said as her wings flapped a little bit from the tension. They were neck and neck, eighteen to nineteen in Grem’s favor, but she was barely holding on. Not since her battles with Spark had she ever been so rivaled in pixelated combat! Lemon wasn’t even competing at one point, she may have gotten a kill per seven deaths and her input was little to nothing. She was still having fun, though.

The final kill was in sight, twenty was the goal and Grem’s brow was in a sweat, as was Patch’s. Her palms were red from squeezing the controller in anticipation. They combed the battlefield in search of one another in that gray, dismal construction zone with the convenient hiding spots and sniping positions. Patch was cautious, and he monitored every single angle with his submachine gun, knowing that he may get up close and personal with this kill. One more kill and they were even.

“Vertigo! Run operation interference!” Grem shouted as they neared one another on the map. Patch heard her say this, but had no idea what she meant. Vertigo was not in the match, nor was she even part of the game itself. He didn’t have time to worry about it, though. So he could only see out of the corner of his eye as the blue pegasus girl approached, throwing her baseball cap to the side and turning around with her backside facing him. The sound of a zipper crossed his senses and he could see her pulling down her pants and panties right in front of him. One glance made him do a double take as Vertigo grinned back toward him.

He was met with the sight of the most beautiful, curvy ass he had ever seen in his life. She even moved her tail out of the way and bent forward all the way so he could see all of the good stuff. Her outer labia was prim and her inner, closed labia was nice and pink for his eyes to feast. Her asshole was seen without the need of her opening her ass cheeks for him. His jaw dropped and his body became very hot. He even came close to orgasming right there in his seat without even touching his cock. It stood, bulging from the crotch of his pants.

The kill shot rang out and his character was killed on the spot with a perfect headshot. Grem won the match, but none of that even registered to him. All he could see was Vertigo’s naughty bits as she shook her booty for him. Grem laughed and slapped her knee, but then stopped as she saw him. He sat there, unmoving, unblinking as his mind wandered all around at the beautiful sight of a mare’s backside.

“Don’t feel… too bad?” Grem looked at him with a puzzled expression. Then leaned over within his line of sight. She waved her hand in front of his eyes, but there was no one home. “Patch? Hey. Patch? You there?” She snapped her fingers but she could see his eyes were directly connected to Vertigo as she pulled her britches up and redid her front.

“Oh, man. I think he blew a circuit.” Final Cut said as she leaned into him as well.

“Ummm…” Patch tried to speak, then he looked at all of them. Then they looked down at the crotch of his pants to see he had a little tiny wet spot where the tip of it was jutting through the fabric in plain view.

“Alright, Patch, I’m going to need you to come clean with us.” Grem said as she took his hands and held them with both of hers. “Are you a… virgin?” The bat pony looked at him with a completely serious expression.

“I… uuhhh…” Patch’s mouth was completely dry at this point. He looked over at Grem, then at Vertigo who wore a similar look of concern. “I haven’t… even… seen…”

“Are you for real?” Vertigo wasn’t even joking. She came up to him and put her hands on his cheeks. After a moment, the blushing stallion nodded. “Oh, dear sweet lord, we may have played a little too dirty. This is my fault. I didn’t even realize. Grem, Lemon, play some co-op or something.” She said and motioned them away. “I’ve committed a serious party foul here.”

Grem giggled a little bit and let go of his hands, then looked at Lemon Square. The yellow earth pony was nibbling the tips of her fingers as she looked over at Patch. The opportunities they had that night seemed to open up a great deal.

“Winner plays next?” Grem asked, and Lemon gave her an ugly look. That was a totally unfair advantage for the bat pony and she knew it.

“How about both?” Lemon shot back, and Grem’s eyes widened. “He’s old enough, he can handle it.”

Patch really wished he knew what was going on, but he was speechless. The image of Vertigo’s naked ass and sleek, well kept vagina danced about in his mind and dominated his thoughts. He didn’t have any time to ask what was going on, though. The blue pegasus mounted him on his chair. Both of her knees were on either side of his legs and she purposely pressed her crotch down on his very hard, throbbing member as it stayed in its confines.

“Now, we’re going to take this slow.” Vertigo said with a sweet voice and a smiling face. Her hands took his again with a delicate touch, and she gave him a sweet kiss on the lips. She was so soft. Her pheromones were driving him insane, and the pressing of her lips to his started his heart right back up. His beating muscle pounded in his chest as she put her hands on other side of his cheeks and she rubbed her mouth up against his to let him get a feel for her. She smelled like a woman, that was something he didn’t expect. He had well over two hundred gigabytes of porn in his computer and none of them prepared him for the warmth he felt all over. The feeling of the opposite sex pushing herself onto him was far beyond his comprehension, as he had only kissed one or two mares on the cheek in his entire life.

It was surreal in his mind. What was happening drowned out everything going on around them and he lived in that moment as hard as he possibly could. She gazed into his eyes with her purple irises and was afraid to move. He was afraid to do anything to ruin this moment. He didn’t know if she was going for anything else other than a kiss and the thought of screwing it up would weigh on him for the rest of his life.

Vertigo pulled both of his hands to her, and to his surprise, she brought them up to her chest. His fingers instantly sunk into the soft, pillow-like substance that made up the mammary glands. They were so malleable and impossibly soft, like what he expected clouds to feel like if you could actually touch them. She made him squeeze harder, and rub them ever so gently. He took the next step and began to caress them. His palms felt her nipples harden underneath them, which only made his manhood twitch against her crotch and produce more precum that started to show through the fabric.

“It really is your first time, isn’t it?” Vertigo asked, drawing a worried look from him. “Yet you’re doing so good. Here.” She pulled her shirt out from underneath his hands and revealed her very dark blue nipples to him. His breath started to intensify as he laid his hands back on them. The fact that there was no longer a shirt between them made a world of difference. She gave a tiny moan as he squeezed her tits once again and even went so far as to very gently pinch her rock solid nipples. She gasped at this. He thought he may have hurt her, but then she shoved one of her tits into his face. “Use your mouth.” She whispered.

He began to lick and suckle on the point of her left breast, his other hand caressing the other as her arms wrapped around his head. Her own breath began to quiver as she felt his tongue grind against her areola, and then switch over to her right breast to start over again.

“Oh, fuck yes.” She whispered into his ear. “You’re so good at this. I think you’re ready.” She said as she undid her pants, standing up to remove the remainder of her clothing to his astonishment. That’s when she’d had enough pussyfooting around. Her pussy didn’t look quite the same from that angle. Not did it look like a fold of pinched skin, but now it glistened with fluids that seeped from the center. She mounted him once again, but this time her hooves balanced on the chair as they were planted on either sides of his lap. She spread her legs from either side of his face and he was met with a part of the female he had only seen on a computer screen and some magazines.

She used her fingers to spread her quim and give him a very good look at her pink inner skin. This display was even making her blush at this point. “Get a good look, little mister. You’re going to get well acquainted with this lady right here.” She made sure he got a very good look of her skin folds, and her little bump at the top of it, along with the honey hole that many males had failed in their attempts to reach. “Don’t be afraid.”

The smell struck him like a ton of bricks. It was almost like a bad smell, only it was so desirable. Her pink pussy even dripped a little bit onto his chin, but that only served to pique his curiosity. With a tentative tongue, he dragged it across her very wet pussy. He tasted her and it was something along the lines of hot soup with a few other little details that he couldn’t quite work out before her fingers traced through his brown mane. He continued to lick as she made those wonderful sounds. Those small moans she produced beckoned him to lick harder and at a faster pace.

“Oh, fuck! You’re--oh!--one of those hard working stallions...aren’t y-you! AH!” Vertigo grasped her own tits as his mouth worked her pussy like a crankshaft. He licked with abandon, not even sure where to hit so he slid his tongue everywhere as fast as he could. Still, he knew enough to know that a mare’s weak point lied in that little bump at the top, so he struck that as his area of concentration.

“Fuck! Stop!” She demanded and he did immediately. She was gasping for breath at this point. Her orange hair was in tatters as she had been throwing her head back and panting. “Are you sure this was your first time?” Vertigo asked, knowing full well that it was. As good as he was, he still needed a bit of practice, but his wreckless style came with amazing benefits too. “Alright, come on.”

Patch wiped his mouth with his shirt before she pulled him up to his hooves and within the blink of an eye, she pulled his pants straight off. His underwear was a complete mess! The wet spot on the front had grown to the point that the fabric was going to give way at any moment with the pressure his hard cock was putting on the inside. All activity stopped in the room as everyone looked to the center where Vertigo removed his underoos. Her eyes feasted upon the sight of that brown phallus that stood as far up as it could go. It was far from the biggest she had ever seen, but the shape of it and the diamond hardness was as alluring as even the largest schlongs. All eyes gazed upon it as she rubbed her hands up his abs underneath his shirt and gazed up at his face with her own face hidden behind his boner to end all boners.

“Any good stallion needs to clear his luggage before he boards the train. Especially for his first time.” Vertigo said, and before he could ask what she meant by that, she began to give his cock little bitty kisses along the shaft. The feeling of a wet mouth nipping at his base right above his balls was almost enough to send the young stallion into a frenzy.

She knew that if she wasn’t careful, he may not get the full effect of his first blowjob, so she acted quickly in sinking his member deep into her mouth, letting him feel the warm, wet tongue as it lapped against his steely dick. His mouth opened some as he let out a small breath, drawing in another deep one. Her mouth worked slowly but with precision. Vertigo tried not to be as sloppy as her usual cocksucking methods. She was forward with her momentum and firm with her mouth’s grip. Each bob of her head was direct and deliberate. What he lacked in full length, he made up for with a decent girth that she could appreciate.

That was when his cock began to twitch and he started to gasp for breath as his hands clutched either side of her head. That’s when she went to town. Inhibitions went out the window as she sucked his pulsating member and grinded her tongue against the head. Her hand even gently gripped his balls as if she wanted to give them a squeeze to jump start the most amazing orgasm this stallion had ever had in his life. She almost couldn’t drink it fast enough. The white, stinky, delicious cum shot straight to the back of her mouth as she held it open to accept the milk.

His slippery, saliva glazed dick twitched over and over again, and with each one, it sent another flying glob of semen into her mouth. He gasped for breath as sweat ran down his brow.

One single white drop of cum drizzled from her mouth down her chin as she finally took a deep breath. Holding her breath and drinking such thick jizz was something of a talent of hers, and even she almost lost her concentration over the utter volume and consistency of his ejaculations. She even gave a tiny burp after that and hummed her approval.

“Such a studly man certainly deserves a kingly reward for such hard work.” She rolled onto her back and grabbed his hand, tugging him downward. He wasn’t sure if his heart could race any more. With her guidance, he mounted the thoroughly nude pegasus and looked down at her naked, desirable body. “And I’m going to reward you by letting you do it right the first time.” She whispered into his ear, looking down to see that her observation was right. Even after a geyser of semen escaped his balls, he was still very much erect. “Take it slow, don’t rush yourself. Just let it guide itself in.”

Before she could even finish her sentence, his cock was already rooting around and finding that warm, wet center of her exposed genitalia. One single push drove his cock into that center and he felt his manhood engulfed in perhaps the most comfortable place he had ever felt.

“Oh, my! Some things really don’t need to be taught.” She giggled and gave a soft moan as she felt him adjust his position inside of her. “Congratulations, you’re not a virgin anymore. Now fuck me.” She whispered into his ear sensually and he complied without question. To her surprise, his thrusts were even, calculated, and hard enough to make her breasts jiggle from the impact. “Oh! Oh my! Yes!” She wrapped her arms around his neck as the tan brown stallion went to town on her. Little by little, he was gaining momentum and fucking her with more and more abandon. She couldn’t contain her moans anymore as she closed her eyes.

He surprised her yet again as his mouth met with hers in a sloppy, passionate kiss. His pelvis beat against hers, causing her to give muffled moans with her tongue licking all over his. Even compared to more experienced males, Patch was gifted. He even seemed like a prodigy in the field of plowing a mare’s sopping pussy. Her legs wrapped around his waist as he went balls deep inside of her and started fucking her with more gusto than before.

Her moans went on and off from top pitch to groans in a matter of seconds. As she started to wonder how someone of his pace was lasting so long, she started to hear the gasps of an oncoming orgasm.

“Yes! That’s right! Cum for me! I want to feel your hot sperm drench my insides! Yes! Fuck me deep!” Vertigo gave off her porno talk without even thinking. She wanted to do anything to make him keep going and it seemed that he didn’t need much coaxing at all as he pushed all the way inside of her hot pink pussy and blew yet another gigantic load inside of her. She felt every spurt of hot semen as he shot her cervix point blank. Her face went red as her eyes clenched shut. She finally took a breath as he relaxed on top of her. His head laid gently down on her chest and he gasped with each inhale.

“Did you--” Patch finally managed to say through the gasps. “Cum?”

“Ummm…” Vertigo said, drawing a puzzled look from the stallion. “Yeah, but I kind of lost count after three.” She giggled and kissed the top of his head. “You were so damn good. I think you deserve another reward.” She said, making his eyes open wide as he looked off into nothingness.

“Reward?” He asked, puzzled. “What do you…”

“Girls?” Vertigo called out to the others.

Before he knew it, Patch was surrounded. Both Lemon and Grem stood over him. Lemon’s clothes were completely gone, while Grem’s shorts were pulled down around her lower thighs. It was obvious that the bat pony had been touching herself as she enjoyed the show.

“Yes, I think it’s time we tagged in.” Lemon grinned as Patch looked at her, still balls deep inside the blue pegasus. Then he looked over at Grem to see her pull off her shirt and let her bulbous, buoyant tits bounce out in all their enormous glory.

Patch gulped.
