A Place for Us All Book 1- A Place In Your Arms

Shadow Cloud sighed, heading back to the CMC clubhouse. It had been another half a week since he had seen them outside of class. He was missing the girls a lot, remembering their naps together, their soft warm bodies pressed against him. He was hoping they were finally free of the colt they were dealing with.

“Oh for Luna’s sake, FUCK OFF!” Sweetie Belle yelled, and a slap echoed through the trees loud enough to shake the apples in them.

A red and black stallion with his pants and underwear between his legs was ejected from the front door onto his face. “And don’t come back ever again!” Applebloom dusted off her hands.

The stallion bunched up his pants and flapped away. “Fucking sicko.” Scootaloo grunted from the window. “Oh hey! Shadow Cloud, please come up? PLEEEEEASE?!”

All three girls practically consumed him as he shut the door, Sweets and Scoots kissed him on the cheek as Applebloom just plain went for broke and kissed him on the lips. “Oh it’s been so terrible without you. Please let us snuggle with you for a while?” Applebloom wiped a tear from her eye.

“Of course, but what happened?!” He sat in his usual spot, with his wings stretched to accommodate the girls, but Applebloom sat between his legs as well, laying her head on his chest and hearing his heartbeat. This also had her bust cradling his crotch at the same time.

“He was a total perv.” Scootaloo held onto his arm for dear life.

“Yeah, every day he insisted his cutie mark was something different.” Sweetie nuzzled into his neck. “And every day he found an excuse to drop trow infront of us.”

“There wasn’t a damn thing wrong with him. He was just there to show off his penis and get hard.”

“I think he wanted to get in our pants.”

“Oh I DEFINITELY know he wanted in our pants, Scootaloo. The way he was always looking down my dress? I mean I know I’ve got a great rack, but god damn he was thirsty.”

“Well you fillies are all really attractive.” Shadow Cloud got an echoed ‘aww’ from all of them. “Can’t say I blame him for falling for you, though his method was dangerous and wrong.”

“He was also really small. Like I don’t know how he could think we’d get excited at seeing something that tiny.” Applebloom grinned, feeling a shift in his crotch. “Especially when we’ve got a big stud here that loves and respects us.”

Shadow Cloud swallowed. “Sweetie Belle?”

She bit her lip. “Rarity may have let slip a few things about your measurements. And I may have let that slip to the girls.” She chuckled nervously, a shit-eating grin on her face. “I believe her exact words were ‘You’ve got something here that will make the mares squirm.’”

Shadow Cloud sighed. “That’s twice I’ve had that told to me. Buy two strangely similar sounding mares now that I think about it.”

“Wait why would Mrs. Cake have told you that?” Applebloom raised her head.

“Huh? Who’s Mrs. Cake and why would you immediately go to her?”

“Oh it’s just sometimes they sound a lot alike. Nevermind.”

Scootaloo sighed. “I can't believe how much I missed this. Thank you for coming around today.” the girls echoed the sentiment with an “Mhm.”

The girls and he just laid there for a while, occasionally a relieved sigh would emerge from their lips.

“Hey, Crusaders!” a voice outside snapped them all out of their peace. “Is Shadow Cloud there?!” Diamond Tiara waved from below even though no one was looking. She was halfway through waving by the time that someone came to the window.

“Sorry Diamond, we're all really tired right now.” Scoots said, her arm dangling out the window, with her cheek resting on the other arm. “Is this important?”

“Of course it is!” She beamed. “Cloudy has been super helpful in getting my business up and running. So I want to offer him a job! Is he there?”

Three pairs of eyes immediately locked onto him. “You've been with Diamond Tiara?!” AB hissed.

“Was that a bad thing?” He blinked in surprise.

Sweetie put a hand on Applebloom’s shoulder and squeezed. “She wasn't exactly the best to us when she was younger, and yes she and Silver Spoon have improved over the years, but she's still a bit… stuck up? It can be hard to deal with her at times.”

“Of course he does have to interview for it. I'm not allowed to show preference. Tell him we can meet up over the weekend to do it.”

“Um…. Sssssorry Tiara!” Sweetie squeezed through the window, shoving Scoots to the corner. “We’ve already got plans! We're heading to the beach this weekend!”

“We are?” Applebloom raised an eyebrow before Sweeties magic pinched her cheek. “Ow! I mean we are!”

“Oh, that sounds fun. Can me and Silver Spoon join you?”

“I mean we're going to the beach out of country!” She grinned gesturing to Scoots to back her up.

“Uh yeah! We're catching a train to… to…”

“Mount Arris!” Sweetie finished her statement and the other two girls looked at her slackjawed. “Yeah, we're going to take Shadow Cloud to meet the Hippogriffs and Seaponies. We'll be gone all weekend. Sorry! Rain check maybe?” She pulled Scootaloo from the window by the scruff of her neck and slammed it shut.

“Oh. Okay.” Diamond Tiara trudged away.

“Mount Arris? Seriously? You know we have to follow through with it right?” Applebloom squinted at Sweetie Belle.

“I know. I’m sorry, but it's all I could think up. But I could really use some zen time in the harmonizing heights. And Scootaloo could get in some fin fun time too.”

Scootaloo sighed pressing her hand to her heart. “Look I'm not thrilled with this idea either. He's probably still there. But I'm willing to deal with it if you are.”

“I feel like I'm missing some context here. Someone want to clue me in?” Shadow Cloud turned towards Applebloom.

“Terramar. He's Scootaloo’s ex. Actually he dated both of them at the same time. But he's got a few… issues that drove them to break up with him.”

“Dare I ask?”

“He was two timing us.” Scootaloo stated matter of factly. “When he wasn't swimming with one of us he was field twirling with the other.”

“The jig was up real quick with him, since the three of us share everything. To be honest I would have been okay if he hadn't tried to hide it.”

“But then he got real possessive. Like he was entitled to us, just because we were with him, even after he was found out.”

“We both walked out of his life hand in hand.” The three girls joined hands around him. “Going back is going to be tough. But I think if you’re there we should be able to make it through. Will you go with us?”

He smirked, chuckling a little in the middle of their semicircle. “I dunno…”

“We’ll be wearing bikinis….” Scootaloo winked.

“Hmm….” He was a tougher sell than that.

“Designed by my sister.”

“SOLD!” They shared a laugh and went back to cuddling until sunset.

The train ride was long. Very long. “Look, I’m sure she means well, but I’m just saying that your sister tends to come on very strong, Sweetie Belle.”

The girl shrugged. “She knows what she likes, fortunately she also knows what I like, and tries not to overstep when those views coincide. But there are times she can’t help herself, especially if it’s something big, hard and meaty.”

“Okay, but why did she have to measure my shaft with her breasts?!”

“She has a very generous chest, and she is very generous with said chest. Honestly, I’m shocked that you could measure it. Usually they just disappear into her cleavage and come out limp a couple of minutes later.”

“How… how can you be so nonchalant about this?”

“Because it’s my vacation, and you’re going to see a lot more T&A in a bit.” She winked, bouncing in her pure white sundress.

The girls all nodded in agreement. Moments later, the train arrived at the foot of Mount Arris, home of the Hippogriffs. The Hippogriffs were typically much taller than the average pony, almost amazonian in stature, with muscular limbs, but lanky bodies. Their clawed hands made for a powerful greeting, especially if you weren’t prepared. Those Griffs who were permanent residents wore sparse clothing, typically of shells and grasses, and those who commuted to the Equestrian lands frequently often wore more clothing. Shadow Cloud was explained this as they dropped their luggage off in their room.

Immediately afterwards, Shadow Cloud was ushered off to the beach to prepare them a spot. With a duffel over his shoulder and an umbrella on his back he took his dark red baggy shorts down to the sands to pick out a good spot. Making sure not to disturb any sand crabs he planted the umbrella and rolled out the mares towels, each with their cutie mark emblazoned on them. He heard them call to him, and he raised his head as they rounded the corner. Suddenly he was very grateful his trunks were so baggy.

Scootaloo’s swimsuit was essentially just a front panel of purple fabric a few shades darker than her mane. Every curve from her slit to her chest was held in place by only three threads on each side, one wrapping around her asscheek, one under her arm, and one over her shoulder. When she had his eyes locked on him, she turned, flaring her wings and hovering off the ground, showing an exceptional amount of sideboob.

Next to her was the marshmallow unicorn, and she hadn’t been lying when she said it was one of her sister’s designs. While it was a dull shade of dark gray, it was a feat of engineering. This halter top met at the center of her collarbone with a pink pearl, and wrapped from there around her huge bust, just covering her areola up, and tying behind her, leaving the rest as pure underboob, which was essentially half of her head-sized chest. Her bottoms were low riding gray panties that showed off a thigh gap that was begging to be filled up with some stallion meat. When eyes were on her, she pinched the straps and sent her rack quaking in front of his eyes.

If the other two were sideboob and underboob, Applebloom was allboob. She had the least amount of fabric covering her as the other two, only two small triangles of pink fabric the color of her hair bow covered her nipples, and her bottoms were simply a thong. While she wasn’t as large as Sweetie Belle in the chest, she showed off more of it, as they bounced to and fro freely, the garment serving in no way a support to her mammaries.

As they bounded up to him, they each claimed their towels with their own separate bags and surrounded him. Flabbergasted at their attire he couldn’t be brought to say anything, though the tent in his shorts told the girls all the story they needed. They brought him out into the ocean to clear his head and they began to swim.

The girls began to splash and play with each other. Scootaloo floated over to him, flicking her tail against his crotch before grinding her ass and back against him. “Touch me.” She begged. He found his hand sliding under her suit, rubbing her pelvis, just below her belly button. His other squeezed her left breast gently. She cooed as she arched her back and neck, giving him a quick peck on the cheek before floating away.

Applebloom was next, wrapping her arms around his neck. “Grope me.” She whispered. His hand immediately went to the round globes of her ass, pulling her close and pressing his erection against her barely covered slit as she kissed him. She moaned into his mouth.

Sweetie Belle was the last to come around. And as the other two were busy in an intense game of splash tag, she put a finger to her lips and pulled up her top, allowing her pendulous breasts to drop against her chest with a splash. “Ravish me.” She said as she brought them to his face. He instinctively pressed his face into them, taking one nipple into his mouth and playing with it on his tongue. “MmmMMM!!!” Sweetie tried to hold in her pleasure as he switched to the other breast. When he let go, she was panting heavily. She tucked her tits back into her top.

“Your turn.” She whispered in his ear as her hand went down his beltline.

She rolled the head of his erection in the palm of her hand, and he had to close his eyes from the sensation. “Sweetie…” He whispered. He suddenly felt two other appendages snaking their way into his shorts. The other girls pressed against him, one to his side and one behind him. They caressed his balls and stroked his member in sync. He didn’t dare open his eyes. “Girls, it’s too good. I can’t hold out.”

“Then don’t.” Applebloom kissed his cheek. “Dye the water white, stud.” All three of the girls pressed their chests against him and picked up the pace.

He grunted and gasped, desperately trying to hold out, but he could feel it bubbling and rising to the surface. Scootaloo pressed her muzzle into his ear. “Cover us in your cream.” It was just enough ASMR to send him over the edge, and with a hard twitch he let loose.

The first wad of ejaculate bubbled to the surface and burst with the force of a geyser, exploding onto the girls, who made surprised yelps. The second twitch was much more concentrated in force so it kept its aim when it broke the surface, hitting Sweetie Belle right in the chest.so hard that it knocked her tits out of her top again, and she backed away. Scootaloo quickly took her place, taking the next couple of shots in her hands. Applebloom continued to pump his member as he throbbed in her grasp. “There’s so much of it!” She gasped as the surface clouded around her, so she couldn’t see his cock anymore. All of them were panting, out of desire and exertion. The girls had gotten what they wanted and more, and Shadow Cloud got more than he had bargained for, and this trip was only a couple of hours in.

“I think…” He gasped. “We should probably rest on the beach… for a while.” The girls cooed in agreement, dunking their heads under the water to clean off the briney spooge.

The girls laid back or forward on their towels, each of them rocking sunglasses. Shadow Cloud sat in the middle, reading a pamphlet he had gotten from the concierge desk. He looked up occasionally to admire the girls flanks, their bottoms barely covering their cutie marks.

A shadow cast over the four of their towels as a griff approached. “I thought I recognized some beachgoers. It’s been a while, girls.” He was only slightly taller than Shadow Cloud, had an eggshell offwhite coat, and turquoise feather mane. His beak shone with a grin.

Sweetie pushed her sunglasses down her muzzle for a moment. “Hello Terramar.” She said with a little salt in her voice before shifting them back up again.

“Oh come on, don’t be like that, it’s been years now.”

“It’s been A year.” Scootaloo said, not even looking his way.

“And some change.” He laughed nervously. “Look, I’m a changed griff, I promise. I even took your advice and got a job.” The girls all turned towards him, Sweetie Belle plucked the pamphlet out of Shadow Cloud’s hand to use it to cover her breasts. “Yeah, right there. You see that ad? I’m a guide for Air and Sea Tourism now.”

“That’s very impressive. If it’s true.” Applebloom squinted.

“It’s true, I promise. Scootsy, you…”

“SCOOTALOO!” She immediately snapped. “You lost the right to call me any nickname.”

“Scootaloo, I’m sorry.” He pressed his claw to his chest. “You still enjoy the water right? How about I arrange a few hours as a seapony for you and your… escort.” He eyed Shadow Cloud with annoyance. “On the house of course.”

Scoots looked to the others. “I did want to take a dip, and I would rather have somepony with me. Is that okay girls?”

“Sure. You already know what I wanted to do this afternoon.” Sweetie Belle said.

“I’m fine with it. Just make sure you do everything we would do.”

“Oh I intend to.” She licked her lips while looking at Shadow Cloud, rousing a small grunt out of Terramar. He motioned for them to follow, and she took the batpony’s hand as they walked the beach.

At the dock, Terramar produced two shell bracelets from a chest in his shack and reciting a well memorized speech. “Welcome to Air and Sea Tourism. These bracelets will allow you to transform temporarily into a water-breathing creature that can tour the depths of the wonderful land of Seaquestria. If this is your first time experiencing this transformation, we recommend you spend at least 30 minutes in shallow water getting acclimated before diving deeper. A standard dive lasts two hours, however you can recharge your bracelet at a clearly marked station by paying 5 bits per hour of charge time. If you run out of time, your bracelet will begin to glow and you will have 30 minutes to surface. If you do not surface within that time, an air bubble will form around you and you will ascend rapidly. You can also trigger this in an emergency by biting down on the blue pearl. Do you have any questions?”

“One. What do bat ponies transform into?”

“Unfortunately I don’t have an answer for that. None have come around since I was hired. Guess it will be a new experience for you. If there are no further questions, please enter the water and touch the pink pearl to transform.”

Scootaloo grinned and practically leapt into the water with a “woohoo!” transforming along the way. She clearly had done this many times before, as she surfaced, her mane glistened in the spray, her sleek body had turned into that of a mermare, fins adorning her arms, and her legs merged into one tail, a dorsal fin grew out of the small of her back with her cutie mark adorned on it.

“Well, here goes.” Shadow Cloud jumped in, gripping the pearl his body morphed. His first instinct was to surface to gasp for air, but Scootaloo pulled him down, allowing his body to acclimate to the water.

“Oh wow!” She whispered. His arms and wings had combined and thickened into triangles, and his legs thinned into a point. “You’re… beautiful.” His finspan slowly flapped as he got his bearings. He wrapped his fins around Scoots and gave her a huge hug, which she giggled at.

They both surfaced after taking a breath. “Interesting.” Terramar scratched his beak. “It looks like bat ponies inherit the traits of manta rays when transformed. I’ll let my supervisors know.”

“Terramar, you’re not joining us?” Scootaloo said.

“Unfortunately I’ve got another tour scheduled up the mountain.” He broke eye contact. “But you’ve been there before, so you’ll be fine, I’m sure. Have fun!” He quickly took to the air.

“Come on!” Scoots tugged Cloudy Ray down. She spun and whirled and giggled like it was the time of her life. “I love it so much down here. When I’m on the surface my wings don’t do very much, but down here I’m as fast and agile as Rainbow Dash. Wheee!”

“I’m definitely not.” Cloud chuckled. “I feel slow, but I can glide and coast, and feel the changes of the waves in my arms, or fins, or whatever these are.”

Scoots got a toothy grin and a glint in her eye. “Let’s hit the bottom. I have an idea.” They quickly sank into the darkness below. “Now spread out wide.” Following her lead he spread his fins out, she slipped under him, flipping over and wrapping her arms around his neck. “Now no one can see what’s about to happen.” She pressed her pelvis against him and moaned, grinding against him more. “I’ve been so horny since you touched me. I need to cum. Just don’t let anypony see me.” She held him tight, humping his belly from below, rubbing her most sensitive scales against him. She whimpered and mewed as she ground harder and faster into him. “I’m so close. I… love you, Shadow Cloud.” She squeaked out as she went over the edge. Her belly twitched as she came down, letting loose from him. As she came down from her high, she cupped her mouth and her eyes went wide. “Oh fuck! I said it! Shit! Forget I said that! I mean don’t forget I said it, but forget I said it said it. The girls are gonna kill me.”

“Where the fuck did that bitch and her coltwhore go?” Shadow Cloud’s ears perked up. Somewhere above them there was a group of five or six seaponies. He silenced her with a kiss, closing his eyes, letting shadow take them, his body darkening to match the sands they were in.

“I don’t know, they dived way too fast. That dude was supposed to be a beginner.”

“Well find him quick. Terramar told us to keep them down here as long as possible. We don’t do that, we don’t get paid.”

Scootaloo and Shadow Cloud broke this kiss, staring into each others’ eyes with worry. They both heard it. Keeping his darkened camouflage active took most of his concentration, so she slowly steered him inch by inch until they got out of range of the patrol. He gasped, and she panted as well. “Why would they try to keep us down here? Unless….”

It hit both of them at the same time. “Sweetie Belle!” They both bit the surface pearl at the same time, and they merged into the same bubble as they reverted. Shadow Cloud wrapped his arms around the mare tightly as he watched the surface get closer. Using the acceleration as a springboard, he launched the both of them into the air and spread his wings wide, continuing to flap hard to gain altitude, giving them a view of the entire mountain island. “Shadow, over there! That’s the Harmonizing Heights. That’s where Sweetie said she’d be!” He dove with her. Getting straight there meant going through the Hippogriff village at high speed. She spread her wings under him, using her own body as a stabilizer and rudder to keep them from hitting any griff or building as they buzzed on through.

He let her drop, and Scoots glided to the lush forest floor. Unable to slow himself, he tucked and rolled, forcing himself on his feet into a run. “Sweetie Belle?! Sweetie Belle!” He called out as loud as he could.

The mare’s eyes opened from her meditation, and she rose from the bed of grass she was in. “Shadow Cloud?”

He enveloped her in a tight hug, tears streaming down his face, laughing in relief. “Thank Faust you’re okay. If anything had happened to you…” Before she could even say anything he kissed her deeply, making her knees go weak. “I love you.”

“I... love you too.” She gasped. “Oh shit, the girls are gonna kill me!”

Scootaloo slid next to them. “It’s okay, I let it slip too. But if you’re okay….” She swallowed. “Sweetie, where’s AB?!”

“Hghrh! Rgnngh!” Applebloom fought against the hippogriff with all she had, but she couldn’t break his grip. “Let me go you shit eating cocksucker!”

“Is that any way to talk to your coltfriend, Blossom?” Terramar said with a sinister glint in his eyes.

“The fuck?! We never dated!”

“Funny, I seem to remember I was dating all three of you. But you were the one that spilled the beans.” He released one of her wrists, and she immediately slammed her fist in his face. He didn’t budge. “But it’s fine.” His free claw slashed apart her bikini top, groping her tits roughly as he sucked on one of her nipples. “As long as I still have you.”

“Get off of me, you insane fuck! I’m not yours! I’ll never be yours!”

His claw gripped her neck and she started to gag. His engorged member emerged from his pants. “Then I’ll take you. Your precious little escort won’t ever get what you’ve been saving. No one wants damaged goods. But don’t worry Blossom, the griff who takes your flower will always be here for you.” He cut her thong off with a swipe of his claw and poised his member at her entrance.

Tears streamed down Applebloom’s face as she fought to stay conscious, trying to scratch at the claw around her neck. “Sha...dow… help… me….”

The glass door to the porch shattered and a figure slammed both his feet into the bird’s face before he could react. He was thrown against the wall, releasing Applebloom in the process. “Piss off, goose shit!” Shadow Cloud grunted, scrambling to get up. “Scootaloo, get her out of here!”

Another figure landed on the terrace, and she grabbed Applebloom’s arm. “Come on, we have to go!” She tugged the girl.

Shadow Cloud threw a punch at the bird, but he took it as his predator instincts locked on to him. “You!”

“No…” Applebloom whispered. “Shadow Cloud, don’t! He’ll kill you!”

“Applebloom, move!” Scootaloo tugged her, and she winced, stepping on some broken glass.

Shadow threw another punch and this time Terramar opened his maw and bit down on his fist. He cried reeling back as it tore his flesh. Terramar spit his blood. “Those mares were never yours. And once you’re gone, they’re mine again.” He pinned Shadow Cloud against the wall with his claw, unable to touch the ground.

“GYEEEAHHH!” A shard of glass entered deep into Terramar’s shoulder, and it went limp, releasing the choke on Shadow Cloud. “We were never yours.” Applebloom trembed, blood dripping down the cuts in her fingers. “Just because your parents left you alone doesn’t mean you can take whatever you want. Whoever you want. We didn’t want to hurt you, but you left us no choice! You used to be a good creature, Terramar. Like when we first met you. But look at the broken monster you’ve become.”

“Oh…” He collapsed.

The door was broken down and guard griffs swarmed the room. Terramar was secured and taken away to have his injuries treated. The three girls and Shadow Cloud were relocated to a different hotel room, and Applebloom, Shadow Cloud, and Scootaloo were treated for their injuries. Once Applebloom was bandaged, he wrapped a blanket around her, and she broke down, bawling into his chest. “Thank you! Thank you! I love you so much, Shadow Cloud. I know I promised the girls I wouldn’t say it, but I have to. I’m sorry girls.”

They shook their heads. “To be honest, it was a stupid vow in the first place.” Scootaloo sighed.

“But… how did you find me?”

“The whole thing was planned out, meaning he had seen us at some point when we arrived. The only place we went to was the hotel. It made sense that he’d have a room, and the front desk didn’t have any reason not to tell us.” Sweetie answered.

“Any later and I… I…” Applebloom buried her face in her wounded hands.

Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle shared a look and nodded. “We need to go back home.”

“And hold an emergency Crusader meeting.”
