A Place for Us All Book 1- A Place In Your Arms
Chapter 12 - Dream a Little Dream Of…
Previous ChapterShadow Cloud huddled up with the girls in the clubhouse. The poor mares had gone through so much today, and now they had one more duty. He kissed them each on the forehead and closed his eyes.
He watched as his member was lovingly stroked up and down by two slim dark blue hands. The mouth of his lover kissed the tip longingly as it grew fully erect in her palms. She smiled as she smothered his erection with her enormous bosoms. Each one easily as big around as Applebloom’s asscheeks.
“Princess Luna…” He moaned in pleasure, his vision hazy. “Luna… Luna!” He blinked. “Princess Luna! Luna, please talk.” The woman between his legs just continued to stroke him, her request out of her bounds. “Princess Luna, I need you! Please come! Take control!” He fought back against the pleasure in his crotch as his dream mare held him in place, locking her lips on the tip of his shaft. “Come on, Luna, you have to be around! Please! We need your help!”
“Oh, you sure you don’t need help getting off?” The sultry mare came to life in a pulsating ripple around him. “Because this thing is way stronger and these balls are way fuller than last time.” Shadow Cloud grabbed her by the shoulders, stood her up, and gave her a massive hug. “And you’re way bolder too. Seems like you might have good news to discuss.”
“No. I mean yes, I mean no, I mean… that can wait. Can you find Scootaloo? The girls and I are very worried about her.”
“The girls?”
“Sweetie Belle and Applebloom. I took your advice and we got very very close. But Scootaloo ran off, and she’s locked herself away somewhere. We have to convince her to come back.”
“I see.” She looked into the distance for a bit. “It’s been very hard to check in on my charges as of late. There appears to have been a population explosion in Ponyville over the past few weeks. It’s gotten harder to isolate their dreams.” She gasped. “However she’s shining like a beacon right now.” She enveloped him in her wings. When she pulled them back he was in her dreamscape, orbs of multicolored light twinkling around them. A lot of them were completely empty. However one in the distance pulsed red. A muted scream reverberated from it.
“Scootaloo!” He turned towards it and was about to run, but Luna snagged his wrist.
“Do not let go of me, lest you get lost in the dreamscape.” She noticed the girl’s mark on his hand. “Interesting.”
“But she’s in pain! Please, Luna, help her. Or let me help her, or something!” She examined him closely. His pained expression was full of worry. Luna decided to trust in his feelings and sped up.
“AAAAGGGHH!” Scootaloo screamed, flailing. He looked into the sphere. She was alone somewhere in the forest, lying in a pool of her own juices, sweat and tears streaming down her face. Her belly was massive, as big around as she was tall, and she arched her back with her teeth grit every few minutes.
“H-How did she get like this?” Luna stared on in shock.
“No, don’t come babies. I can’t have you. I can’t take care of you yet. You need to stay IIIIINNNNNNN!!!” She writhed in pain as another contraction took her.
“Scootaloo!” Shadow Cloud banged on the bubble. “Princess Luna, please!”
“But… the only way that she could dream about this is if she….” She looked back at his hand and then at him. “Shadow Cloud, this mark. Is she having your foal?”
“Yes, Princess. Please, let me into her dream! I’ll explain everything I promise, but let me save her! I… I love her.” Her eyes quivered in surprise at his declaration. But then she smiled and let the magic flow from her horn. He dove into the orb headfirst, a stallion on a mission. He slid next to her, grabbing her hand and holding it tight.
She opened her eyes and looked at him in surprise. “Sh-Shadow Cloud?! No, you can’t be here. This isn’t real! You left me to be with Diamond and Silver! You abandoned me!”
“No, Scootaloo.” He ran his fingers through her mane. “I didn’t leave. How could I leave you when I love you so much?”
“After all this time though?! You show up right now?! I can’t have these babies. I have no one. No place to put them. No one to care for them. And you’ll just leave again. Probably after putting another litter of foals in me.”
“I’m not leaving Scoots. I’ve caused you so much pain already, and I never even knew it. I need you to believe me when I say I love you. I love you and our foals. I’m not going to leave you or our babies ever again.”
“How....” She sobbed through another contraction. “How can I believe you?”
“You can believe me.” Luna floated down next to her, laying a hand the girl’s impossibly bloated womb. With a touch it disintegrated, and they were cast into the dream realm. “What he speaks is the truth.”
“Princess Luna.” She pressed her hand against her belly, now only a small bulge under her maximized chest. “But how could you know that if he’s not…” She turned to the other side, seeing him sitting there nervously. “Oh. So you were real.”
He nodded. “Scootaloo, I’m sorry. Had I known how worried you were about all this, I would have done something a lot sooner. The girls have figured out a solution. Are you willing to hear them out?”
She sighed. “Well considering that I’m here in front of my mentor I can’t exactly say no. Side note, why are you both naked?”
“I prefer nude, thank you. And its very freeing wandering the dreamscape with no clothes. Since you’re a mare now, I figured you could handle it.” Luna covered for him.
“Princess, could you merge us with Applebloom and Sweetie Belle’s dreams?” Shadow Cloud held Scootaloo’s hand tightly.
“That will be a bit of a challenge. With the population mass around Ponyville, the only reason I found you specifically is because you called out to me.”
“Then that’s fine, because they should be doing the same thing right about now.”
Luna’s head jolted back in surprise before they glazed over as she searched. The statement clicked in Scootaloo’s head. “Wait, you mean since you and the girls couldn’t find me irl, you decided to look in the dreamscape? Dude, obsessive much?”
“They love you too much to let this split us apart. Me too.” He nuzzled her cheek.
After a while Luna came back, more flustered than anything. Even the constellations in her mane seemed out of alignment. “Th-There’s a haze of blank dreams around them, just like Scootaloo. But I found them. Good thing too, because I think we need to have a talk.” Her horn lit up again and the world rebuilt around them, forming the familiar clubhouse. Sweetie Belle and Applebloom walked in the front door. “Hello my children. Or, should I say children no longer.” She eyed Sweetie Belle’s belly. “I believe you’ve been looking for somepony.”
“Scootaloo!” The girls ran up to her in unison, downright knocking Shadow Cloud out of the way. He bounced across the room, ricocheting off the walls until he landed in Luna’s bust.
“Back to that again? And in front of your mares this time, how salacious.” She grinned. He looked back at them, they sat down in their usual meeting triangle. They talked about how sorry everyone was, what they had said in the meeting, but interestingly, he heard everything they said even though he was too far away to hear. “This is a shared dream, there’s no technical boundary. So distance isn’t a factor when it comes to words here. Same with retention.”
“Good to know.” He extracted himself from her cleavage, which he could swear she made bigger just to make it take longer. “You looked like you knew what this was.” He pointed to his hand.
She tilted her head. “And you don’t? You possess a herd mark and yet don’t know what it is?”
“A herd mark?” He looked down at it. “I don’t understand. This only happened the day Zecora went and healed my hand.”
“A herd mark is very old magic from several generations ago. Back then it was commonplace for stallions to take several mares as their wives and form a herd.” She drew her fingers to her chin as she looked at it in detail. “Why would that sly Zebra give you this without you asking for it first?”
Shadow Cloud gulped. “So the girls marks…”
She tilted his hand back and forth. “I see you’ve been very busy the past few weeks. Five mares within a month is quite the herd.”
“Am… am I in trouble for having this?”
“No… not legally anyway.” She shrugged. “As far as I’m aware there’s never been a law repealing or banning herdship. It’s just much more uncommon in this day and age. It even predates my banishment. You might find some that look down on you for having a herd, especially at your young age. But the deed is done. They’re bound to you for life. Multiple lives, since they all carry your foals.” His erection rose between her thighs. “Just to make it clear Shadow Cloud, this wasn’t the mission I had sent you on, but the results are similar. You do seem to be a much better, stronger, and more virile stallion than the one that I found wasting away. We could… continue with what we discussed.”
“Um… I-I… well…”
“Ahem.” Sweetie Belle tapped him on the shoulder, and he turned around nervously. “So let me get this straight.” She crossed her arms as Luna winked at her from behind. “Princess Luna visited you in a dream, and she told you to come to us, her charges, to learn how to socialize. And instead you wind up knocking all of us up. All for what purpose, so you could fuck Luna IN A DREAM?!”
“Didn’t say it had to be in a dream.” Luna muttered under her breath, knowing full well everyone could hear it.
“Wh-what? NO! I- I mean yes she did say that, but I never agreed to it. I didn’t… I mean I wasn’t trying… I mean…” He started to feel very small around the looming girls.
They all wrapped him in a hug simultaneously, which technically shouldn’t have worked with all their growth, but hey, dream. “We know, Shadow Cloud.” Scootaloo sighed as they sat him down. “I’ve decided to go along with their plan. To be clear I’m still not happy with Diamond or Silver, but I don’t have the right to keep any of you apart. As long as they abide the rules, so will I. I’m sorry I made you worry.”
“And I’m sorry that I was so oblivious.” He petted her mane gently. “If I had known how worried you were about everything, things would have been different. It’s something that I need to rectify right now.” He took both of her hands into his own and took a deep breath. “Scootaloo, I want you to come live with me.”
Scootaloo’s eyes went wide. “Wh… what?”
“I live alone, and have plenty of space for you. You said it yourself that you don’t have anyone to come home to, and that you’re worried about finances. You can save up your money by staying with me, and I can be the support unit you need.”
Sweetie Belle held her hand up to her mouth, tears welling in her eyes. Applebloom was slackjawed at this move. Scootaloo blinked, a tear rolling down her cheek. She started to laugh, more salty clear drops merging into a stream as her laughter turned into sobs and full on weeping. “Yes.” She eventually managed to splutter out. “Yes, I will. SC….” She started to bawl again, pressing her head into his chest.
“Are you okay Scoots?” Applebloom rubbed her back as soon as she calmed down.
“Yeah.” She sniffed. “I just can’t believe it. I’m getting everything I ever wanted… and I nearly lost it all because I was so jealous.” She sighed happily.
After a pause for them all to collect themselves Luna chimed in. “There is still more for us to discuss. Shadow Cloud, for better or worse, you are the head of a herd now. You need to keep them happy and healthy so their foals will grow well in their wombs. This includes resolving conflicts and pampering. Though your herd mark will aide in that.”
“So this thing does have other abilities.”
“You mean that time when you had us cummin’ all over ourselves when we were fightin?” AB spoke, then blushed, realizing what she just said in front of her mentor.
“Yes.” Luna smiled, more bemused than anything. “That is one of the abilities it has. You may discover more in the future. Each herd mark varies on the wielder, so I can’t tell you how yours will function.”
“I’d appreciate it if you didn’t use that one too often.” Sweetie raised her hand. “Yes it snapped me out of my blind rage, but you still used it to win an argument. I’m not happy about that.” Applebloom nodded.
“I’ll try not to.” Shadow Cloud looked away.
“There’s still more however.” Luna crossed her arms as she stood. “Do you three know how pregnant you are?” The three looked at each other, not saying a word. “Let me put it this way.” She snapped her fingers and they were immediately in the dreamscape, a thick red haze was around the girls, to the point where Shadow Cloud could only see their outlines, and Luna’s mane in the distance. Sweetie Belle was almost completely obscured. She snapped her fingers and restored the clubhouse. “That haze is a representation of the empty dreams going on around you right now. The dreams from your foals. That’s why it was so hard to find you without you calling to me. You three, no, you five, are having a massive amount of foals.”
Applebloom leaned back, smiling and rubbing her belly. “How many are we talkin about? Three, four a piece?” Luna shook her head. “Six?” She shook her head again, and AB’s smile turned into worry. “Eight?”
“With so many identical blank dreams its impossible to tell accurately with my powers, but I would say you five may double the population of Ponyville.”
“WHAT?!” All four of their voices echoed, shaking the dreamscape.
“That’s… that’s not possible, right? All of us being that pregnant?” Scootaloo bit her lip, looking over at her belly, which now looked even bigger to her.
“Is Shadow Cloud really that virile?” Sweetie stared at him in a daze. “You didn’t know you could do this, did you?”
“Of course not! I’m an only child, and I don’t think anyone from my family has had even one set of multiples, let alone this!”
The princess reached down and fondled his balls without a second thought. She stroked him until he was erect, pointing directly at Sweetie’s tits. “You weren’t this big before, correct?”
“No. It only happened after… after Zecora’s place. But she couldn’t have passed on magic to me, right? Even if she did, Diamond and Silver were only last week, it would have worn off. And Starlight Glimmer didn’t find any magical properties in my cum.”
Luna licked her lips at the drooling member, squeezing her legs tightly together. She shook her head and sighed. “I have a hunch, but it will take some days investigating to find this out. Crusaders, bring him to the Gala in three months. I should have gathered up what I need by then.” Her horn began to glow as the world unmade around them.
“Oh no….” Sweetie gulped, and the other girls also took the meaning immediately.
“Yes, it’s likely you will be quite large.” Luna answered before the dream popped completely.
