//-------------------------------------------------------// Matters of the Heart: Show and Tell -by milesprower06- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// If Things Don't Fit, There's Lots of Lube //-------------------------------------------------------// If Things Don't Fit, There's Lots of Lube Gallus looked down at the precious items he held in his claws. In his left, a scroll that would officially serve as his sponsorship to become a citizen of Equestria. In his right, a crocheted Hearth's Warming Doll of himself. He set them both down on his bed before jumping up and tackling the giver of these amazing gifts, his boyfriend Sandbar. "Th-thank you... So much..." He said shakily, wiping the tears from his eyes. Sandbar smiled and returned the hug, nuzzling the griffon. "How can I show you how much this means to me?" He asked, and he didn't really need a verbal answer as he saw the sultry look in the pony's eyes. "Sooner or later I'm gonna learn to stop asking that." Gallus said, getting a smirk out of him, feeling Sandbar's growing stallionhood start to poke at his stomach. Just as he was about to go about preening Sandbar's mane, he noticed the pony's ears twitch. "Hold that thought for just a moment, hun." Sandbar whispered, before he quietly got up, and walked as silently as he could to the door. He stood there for a moment before grabbing hold of the handle and quickly opening the door. Ocellus, Silverstream, Smolder, and Yona fell over each other into the doorway. "I told you your breathing was too loud, Yona." Smolder said, sandwiched between the ground and Silverstream. "Yak breathing perfectly quiet!" Yona protested. "Guys," Sandbar began, looking down at the student heap at his hooves. "Counselor Starlight has warned you all about this twice now." "Well, not so fast, Sandbar," He heard Gallus say back on the bed. "Our professors have told us how we should spread friendship far and wide. This is just Advanced Friendship. So, feel like some Show and Tell?" Sandbar turned and looked incredulously at the griffon who was laying on his side on the pony's bed, semi erect cock growing slowly in his right claw. "You're actually being serious right now...?" Sandbar said, as he glanced back at their classmates, who began to get back up to their hooves and claws, eyes going back and forth between the two of them... Or rather, between Gallus' erection and Sandbar's, which had not subsided in the slightest through answering the door. "Sandbar, I don't want you to coerce you into anything that you're not comfortable with, but it's obvious that Counselor Starlight can't kill their curiosity of what we do. Are you up for showing them?" Gallus asked. Once Sandbar's brain processed what Gallus was suggesting, he let out a sigh, then walked back towards the bed, waving their four classmates in to their dorm room. Gallus quickly took the opportunity to move his sponsorship scroll and Hearth's Warming doll to his nightstand at the foot of his bed. Sandbar sat next to Gallus on his bed while Silverstream, Smolder, and Ocellus took their seats on Gallus' bed, and Yona took the floor right in front of it. "Thanks to Sandbar, I am now able to begin the process of becoming a citizen of Equestria, as many griffons end up doing. I was just about to show him how... Grateful I am, before he heard you girls at the door. But I suppose we can share our gratitude with the four of you. So, class..." Gallus began, clearing his throat. "Welcome to Advanced Studies of Interspecies Friendship." Sandbar shot him a quizzical look. Was he actually going to run this like a class demonstration? 'Gods, what a lovable dork.' Sandbar thought to himself. "Now, who can tell me the basics of procreation?" Gallus asked. Ocellus, of course, was the first to raise her hoof. Gallus pointed a claw at her, and gave her the floor. "Well, um, as with all male-female coitus, at least of all of our species, the male organ enters the... Female orifice." Ocellus stated, getting only slightly flustered, blushing lightly at the cheeks. "Correct. However, with male-male relationships, procreating has nothing to do with it. It's just the way that couples can get closest to one another. Also, without the self-lubricating female orifice, another one will have to do as a substitute." Gallus explained, as he slowly brought his talon down to Sandbar's erection, and gently grasped it. "Another important point to interspecies relationships is finding ways to please your partner in ways that their own species perhaps cannot. Take claws, for instance." Sandbar took the quietest breaths he could as Gallus slowly began to jack him off. It didn't last forever, as he reached over to the nightstand and opened the drawer, and quickly came back with their sizable bottle of lube. "Lubricant is very important, even if you're female and want to experiment with anal intercourse. The anus is not self-lubricating. When you think you've used enough, use a little bit more." He explained. "And it doesn't always have to come from a bottle," Sandbar began, finally getting up the courage to speak. "A griffon's... Um... Seed, is more slippery than one might think." The earth pony explained as Gallus chuckled, slowly dribbling a bit of lube onto his talon, starting to gently massage it into his cock as Sandbar proceeded to lay down on his side. The four watching noticed his pink pointed griffonhood take on a glistening shimmer within a matter of seconds. When that was done, he got a bit more on the tip of a single claw, and then spread his wings, hopping over and pouncing on Sandbar, pinning him on the bed. There were some looks of concern as Sandbar started to squirm and whine as Gallus began to finger the pony's tailhole, and wrapped his other front leg around his chest. "Um, Gallus? Sandbar doesn't sound like he's enjoying that." Silverstream said. "Hm? Oh, right. I guess we are moving a bit too fast without explaining everything." Gallus began, taking his finger out of Sandbar for a moment. "Hun, do we want to cover the basics of role play?" Gallus asked. "Right, yeah." Sandbar replied, who had immediately stopped squirming and whining upon hearing Silverstream's concerned comment. "Well, role play is when a couple acts out a scenario. It could be anything, it can be really fun when you let your imagination run wild." The pony explained. "And one of Sandbar's favorites, is being captured and used by a predatory and promiscuous griffon." Gallus added, getting a shade of red from the pony's cheeks, as he again slipped his claw inside Sandbar's entrance, getting him ready. After a few more moments, Gallus slowly pulled his claw out, gripped his tail, and lifted him up slightly, lining him up. Sandbar's leg seemed to twitch as he shuddered. "Somepony likes having their tail pulled..." Gallus teased as he slowly slid his tip in. As he did, he let go of Sandbar's tail as the pony lifted his leg up to allow the griffon an easier entrance. "Now, can anycreature guess what sound an earth pony makes when they're overwhelmed with pleasure?" Gallus asked, glancing over at their friends. "Ooh, ooh!" Silverstream said excitedly, raising a front leg. "Heh, you are actually pretty close right there, Silverstream." Gallus said, chuckling at the hippogriff's enthusiasm, as well as at her next three answers, two of which involved her tongue lolling out of her beak. "It's very important to breathe as you let somecreature up there. You feel a lot of pressure, but if you go slowly enough and let them get acclimated to you, there should be very little pain." Gallus said, as Sandbar had started to focus on his breathing. Gallus went slowly and steadily, and there was a soft squelching sound as the knot pressed against Sandbar's hole, but he went no further. "What about the... Um... The knot?" Ocellus asked, who was probably the most aroused of the four onlookers. Yona looked curious, Silverstream looked enthused, Smolder was watchful, but the changeling was nearly drooling. "In griffon pairings, that's to ensure that what goes in, stays in. For same sex pairings, you have to be more careful. My Sandbar here can take it, but not until the end. Going in and out with it would be painful." With that, Gallus slowly pulled out, until just the tip remained, then slid back in, a bit faster. With his free front leg, he lifted Sandbar's chest up, and wrapped his wings around and underneath him. "And also important to note," Gallus shared as his pace got steadily faster, "that whether your role play is consensual or non-consensual, a safe word is very important, so that you can squirm and struggle while everything is alright underneath." With that, Gallus tightened his hold on Sandbar and began to rut him earnestly. Sandbar's eyes nearly rolled back in his head, hearing his moans crescendo with each of Gallus' thrusts. The griffon began to nip at his neck and ears, feeling Sandbar's stallionhood throb against his feathers. He tried to delay the inevitable by varying his pace, but in the end, Sandbar's flank just felt too good. His thrusts started to lose their pace, and then, squeezing the pony's chest hard, his knot popped in, and both of them tensed up as Gallus' down-covered balls emptied themselves into Sandbar. After about a minute, Gallus' tense body finally seemed to relax. Sandbar's stallionhood, however, was flared and still visibly twitching. "Well..." Gallus began as he caught his breath. "Sometimes that alone is enough to drive Sandbar over the edge too, but, sometimes..." He paused as he slowly pulled out, and Sandbar immediately wiggled free as he slid back towards the nightstand, grabbing the bottle of lube again. "Sometimes it's not quite enough, and the captive pony has to take advantage of the winded griffon to get his own relief." He said, quickly applying lube to his erection. He quickly made his way over to Gallus' backside and lined himself up. He nudged and rubbed against the griffon's hole, and gently leaned forward. The attention of their class was divided between his flare slowly but surely stretching Gallus' backside open, and the griffon's own deposit that was seeping out and dripping onto the bed from between Sandbar's legs. As the flare was the widest part of Sandbar's erection, once that was in, the rest slid in easily after that, and they saw Gallus' stomach push out slightly as Sandbar bottomed out in him. "Ah... The key is to try your best... To relax..." Gallus explained as he felt the pony throb inside him. "Not that hard if you've already had your turn." He finished, chuckling lightly, raising his backside up to give his boyfriend an easier time. Sandbar wasted no time, already on edge from the rutting he received. He placed both front hooves on Gallus' hindquarters, and gave half-length thrusts, obviously intent on not wasting any time. For his part, Gallus took his tail and wrapped it around Sandbar's stomach, making him work for each half pull out. It lasted for barely half a minute, then with one slightly longer pullout, putting a bit of strain on Gallus' tail, Sandbar shuddered, then slammed back in, releasing his first load into the griffon, giving weak followup thrusts as he continued pumping his seed into him. When he was done, he fell down onto the griffon's back, then gently slid off to the side between Gallus and the wall. "Uh, are you okay, Ocellus?" Smolder asked, having glanced over to the changeling on her left. That was enough to startle the shapeshifter, who had been preoccupied with touching herself quite furiously on edge of her seat, and she slid off the bed and landed on the floor. Her nether regions were positively dripping. The commotion was enough to get Gallus' and Sandbar's attention. "You alright, Ocellus?" Sandbar asked. "Uh... Um... Yeah. S-Sorry. It's just... This is just... Wow..." Ocellus replied, currently sweating bullets as five pairs of eyes were now on her. She was hardly the only one of the four that was aroused by the scene across from them, but she had been the first to act on it. Gallus smiled down at her gently. "Come here, Ocellus." He invited. Visibly shaking, the changeling got to her hooves, and took several nervous steps towards the other bed. When she was close enough, Gallus leaned forward, and whispered into her ear, soft enough where it was unintelligible to the other four in the room. Whatever he said, it made her wings flutter momentarily as her eyes widened. "R-Really...?" She asked, excitement and nervousness clashing in her voice. Gallus merely nodded, and leaned back in waiting. Ocellus swallowed the lump of nerves in her throat, and closed her eyes in concentration. The aura of transfiguration quickly enveloped her body, and after a quick flash of light, the meek changeling had morphed into a copy of the cerulean griffon on the bed in front of her. Sandbar's eyes widened as he suddenly saw double. "Alright, class. Now that we have a volunteer," Gallus began, sitting up. "Let's cover the subjects of polyamory, bisexuality, and threesomes. Who here knows what spitroasting is?" //-------------------------------------------------------// Oh...Cellus! //-------------------------------------------------------// Oh...Cellus! Gallus, Sandbar, Ocellus, Smolder, Yona, and Silverstream sat together on the long, cushioned wooden bench outside Counselor Starlight's office. None of them looked particularly well groomed, even by Monday morning standards. But there was not much that could have been done about that, as Starlight had found them more or less in heaps on both beds in Sandbar's and Gallus' dorm room 30 minutes earlier. After trying and failing to make sense of what had greeted her eyes, she told all of them to get showered, get breakfast and head straight to her office. Suffice to say, last night, despite being one of the best and most unexpected experiences of their lives, had not gone as planned... Sandbar waited on the bed as Gallus got up off the bed and stood next to his doppelganger, that Ocellus had just taken the form of, complete with everything a male griffon could possibly need. "Now, bisexuality is when you're not exclusively attracted to one specific gender. Polyamory is having more than one partner with the consent of all parties involved. It takes absolute trust and open communication for relationships like that to work. But, with that trust and communication, you can have some truly special experiences with each other. So, Ocellus, do you trust us with what we're about to do?" Gallus asked, turning to the transformed changeling. As excited as she was, the invitation from Gallus to take part had done very little to calm Ocellus' nerves. With the transformation, her moist nether region had become a throbbing male griffon phallus. But determined to press on, she nodded. "Yes. Thank you, both of you, for trusting me." She replied, and Gallus smirked at hearing her answer in his own voice. Gallus smiled at her, as did Sandbar, through his stupor. "So, Ocellus, spitroasting is when one partner is taking two others at the same time, from both sides. As our volunteer, which end would you like?" Gallus asked, now turning back to Sandbar, who was managing to get up on his hooves again, becoming just as eager for what was about to happen. "Um, well, it might be easier to decide once I knew how best to use this thing..." Ocellus said, motioning to her form's griffonhood. Gallus chuckled, grabbing the bottle of lube. "It's easier than you think. Not much to it at all." He claimed, putting more lube onto his left talon before walking over to Ocellus' side, and gently began to rub it onto her male griffon organ. She shuddered at the pleasurable new sensation. "Does this count as playing with yourself?" Gallus asked, trying to ease the changeling's nerves a bit, and got a light chuckle out of her for his efforts. "Well, to somecreature who has quite literally never done this before, it's just a matter of picking a hole, getting yourself lined up, and going in gently, although since he's clearly already loosened up, you don't need to go as slow as I did. Either side would be a great first experience. That pony sure can use that tongue, let me tell you." Gallus told her, winking at Sandbar, who smirked in response, and was now licking his lips, and raising his tail in invitation as he waited for Ocellus to make her choice. After swallowing again, she hopped up on the bed, and went towards Sandbar's front side, and sat down directly in front of him, and the pony wasted no time in beginning to lick the base of her griffon cock as Gallus took his place behind him, and teased his tailhole with his tip. As he began to slide in, Sandbar slowly licked up, and began to take Ocellus into his mouth. By the time that Gallus' knot pressed against him, Sandbar was momentarily deepthroating the transformed changeling in front of him, getting the most adorable newbie moans out of her. He held this pace as best he could, following Gallus' thrusts behind him. "Come on, Ocellus. He doesn't have to do all the work. Use his tongue and throat for all it's worth." Gallus told her. The griffon-changeling stood up, not taking herself out of the pony's mouth, and leaned forward, supporting her weight with her front legs on either side of Sandbar. She slowly began to thrust, while trying her best to not stare at the real Gallus as he worked on his other side. The more she thrust, the more he gave muffled moans and whimpers, and the more tingly she began to feel all over as bits of his love slowly started to seep into her. Gallus noticed this as her eyes glowed green for a moment before returning to the azure griffon eyes she had copied. "You doing alright there?" He asked her. "Yeah..." She answered, giving another passionate thrust forward as the pony under her worked his tongue. "M-More than okay." Gallus chuckled confidently, proud that Sandbar was proving his claims right about how much he enjoyed his tongue. "I-I don't think I'm gonna last too much longer, Gallus..." Ocellus warned. The threesome had lasted barely a minute. "That's alright. Griffons usually don't. Especially if it's a new sensation for you. But they're pretty fast at recuperating. So no worries if you want to have even more fun." "Yeah... I'm willing to bet changelings are even faster...!" She said, before hilting in Sandbar's throat. Luckily the earth pony had taken a deep breath, and didn't even need to swallow as Ocellus emptied herself down into his stomach, as her eyes took on that green glow again. "Heh, guess that's more of a tell than anything." Gallus said as she finished, and slowly took herself out of Sandbar's mouth, and he didn't spill a drop. "Are... Are you close to finishing?" Ocellus asked the griffon, who shook his head, his talons firmly gripping Sandbar's flanks on his cutie marks. "Not quite, but don't worry. I'll get there." He answered. "A-Actually, I've got an idea." She said, blushing at the cheeks, changing back into her default, arctic blue form, and this brought a pause to Gallus' thrusting. "What did you have in mind?" Gallus asked, his cock twitching at the self-imposed denial. Swallowing another lump of nerves, Ocellus' cheeks blushed even deeper before she looked Gallus in the eyes. "P-Put me in the middle...?" She asked at just above a whisper, before her gaze darted down to Sandbar, then to the blankets of the bed as she shuffled her front legs nervously, wings fluttering in anticipation. When she looked back up at the two of them, Gallus was smiling gently at her. "What do you say, Sandbar?" He asked, slowly pulling out of the pony. He glanced over to the opposite bed, where the other three were sitting either on the edge or on the floor. Silverstream was the second that was beginning to give in to her arousal, merely by rubbing herself on the bed sheets. "Well, we wouldn't end up... You know, fertilizing any eggs or anything, right?" Sandbar asked awkwardly as he got up from his kneeling position between the two of them. "Nope," Ocellus answered, shaking her head. "Mating season isn't for another several months, in the fall." "Well, in that case... Which end do you want, Gal?" Sandbar asked, turning to his boyfriend. "Actually, let's ask her. Ocellus, who do you want where?" Gallus replied, noticing that the changeling was starting to drip a bit onto the sheets. After just a hint of hesitation, she turned, and presented to Sandbar, raising her tail. Having got his answer, Gallus took a couple steps towards his classmate's head, and brushed his tip against her snout as Sandbar did a quick inspection of the goods underneath her translucent tail. "Just one more request?" She asked, teasing Gallus' griffonhood with the tip of her split tongue. He looked down at her quizzically, waiting for her to continue. "D-don't be gentle." She finished, blushing again, eyes glowing momentarily as she strained to contain the love she had collected thus far. If she was expecting her request to get a look of surprise from the griffon, she never got it. After all, he may have very well gotten used to that, what with how Sandbar obviously liked to be treated sometimes. Instead, he merely smirked at her. "Well, you heard her, Sandbar." He said, before slowly shoving himself into Ocellus' mouth, and she immediately began to suck and wrap her long tongue around the pulsing griffon cock. "Mmhmm," Sandbar began, slowly sliding himself into the changeling's positively soaked entrance. "I just want to be absolutely sure I'm going to fit all the way in without hurting you, Ocellus." Ocellus moaned around Gallus' girth as she felt more and more of Sandbar enter her. Her wings fluttered as the tingling sensation returned all around her body as his medial ring passed through her lower lips. She tightened the seal around the griffon as she felt Sandbar's balls lightly tap against her. "W...Wow..." Sandbar whispered as he took in the new experience. With that, he slowly pulled out, until just his flaring tip was still inside, then placing his front hooves on both sides of her carapace, he slammed back in. Ocellus gave a muffled squeal as she sucked even harder on Gallus, who was putting all his effort into making this fun last as long as he could, with Sandbar's flank already having made him more than ready to empty himself a second time. This was a side of Ocellus that he honestly had not expected, even if she was the first one to start getting off on watching the two of them. As the two of them rutted the bug from both ends, he glanced over at their class, and now Smolder was now joining in, having two claws currently pleasuring herself. Sandbar wasted no time. His endurance had improved considerably from his and Gallus' first time, but the way Ocellus' warmth and wetness was enveloping him made him doubt the progress he had made with the griffon over the past couple months. He found that one of his best methods for prolonging the fun was to mix up the pace, and that's exactly what he did. Ocellus gave a whimper whenever he slowed down, so it was never for long. Whenever Gallus risked opening his eyes to look down at his friend who was taking him up to his knot, he noticed that her eyes were taking on that green pulsating glow with a frequency that was slowly increasing. He didn't know a whole lot about changeling magic; all he remembered that before their hive's transformation, they collected the love of creatures as a kind of sustenance and shared what they didn't need with the queen. But after the transformation, that magic had changed. How? They hadn't gotten that far in Modern Changeling History yet. "I... I'm getting close, Gallus. How about you?" Sandbar asked. "Your tongue certainly has competition, I'll tell you that much. Want to try and go at the same time?" The griffon replied, giving a forceful thrust down Ocellus' throat. Sandbar merely nodded, and increased his pace. "Hope you're ready, Ocellus..." The pony warned. The only reply he got was a short thrust backwards on her part, which was all the permission he needed. He gripped her sides tighter, and began thrusting at an even more fervent pace. "Ready, Sandbar? Ready... Ready... Now!" Gallus gave a forceful thrust forward, and Ocellus managed to open her mouth wide enough for the griffon's knot to pop through her lips, just as Sandbar gave one last thrust inside as he felt him twitch. As she felt the hot, sticky substances both in the back of her throat and in her nethers, everything else seemed to melt away for the changeling. She opened her eyes and saw nothing but white, and heard nothing except the pleasurable cries of the griffon and pony on either side of her, and then, to her surprise, she heard blissful cries on the other side of the room before the love she had been collecting more and more of overwhelmed her entirely... Guidance Counselor Starlight made her way down the hallway to her office, her mind still trying to process what in Celestia's name had happened last night. She had gotten her answer barely 40 minutes ago, as she was doing dorm inspections to make sure the student body was alright after the... Shockwave... had traveled through the dorms. For the most part, all she was met with was looks of awkward embarrassment as students were waking up and gathering up bedding to take to the laundry room. Then she got to the end of the hall, to Gallus' and Sandbar's room. And she found not one, or two, but six students on the beds and floor. Before she could ask even one question, the unmistakable smell of coitus hit her nose, stronger than anywhere else in the dorms. As they began to wake up, she saw the green sparkling in Ocellus' eyes, and she had quickly and awkwardly gotten her answer. She had told all of them to clean up, get breakfast as quickly as possible, then go to her office. When she turned the last corner to her office, there they sat, waiting for her arrival. Starlight unlocked her door without a word, ushered them in, then she entered herself, hanging the "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door, locking it as she shut it. The six of them took seats either on or in front of the couch, and silently waited for her to take a seat at her desk. She sat down, opened the bottom drawer, and came out with a bottle of hard cider, pouring herself a cup before returning it to the drawer. "Now..." She began, clearing her throat and taking her first sip. "I can only assume that what I saw this morning was the result of what I've warned four of you about more than once." The averted eyes was all the affirmation she needed. "But it seems that you two finally went and gave in, and... Invited them to participate?" She asked Sandbar and Gallus, who were sitting on either side of Ocellus on the couch, whose cyan eyes still glistened with hints of green sparkles. "N-not at first." Sandbar answered. "We figured as curious as they were, what with your warnings being ignored twice, that if we... Sated their curiosity... That maybe they wouldn't eavesdrop anymore... Then... Then..." The pony trailed off. "Then I invited Ocellus to participate." Gallus finished, taking the blame for his invitation last night. "I'm... I'm sorry, Counselor Starlight." Ocellus spoke up. "I won't say that I think what I did last night was wrong. It was one of the most amazing experiences of my life." Starlight took a gulp from her cup, and set it down, before looking at Ocellus in the eyes. "Well, Ocellus. I believe you, completely. You know why? Because I know how changeling magic works. I know you collect love from the creatures around you. Since the Changeling Kingdom's metamorphosis, you release it in small amounts, sharing it with each other so often that it's become second nature to you. But I haven't seen a... Release... that concentrated since Thorax metamorphosed and overthrew Chrysalis. What you experienced last night was expelled outward in a shockwave that reached not only your room, but the dormitory, the school... And the castle." Ocellus went pale as her eyes widened. "Oh... Oh gods... I'm so sorry... I... I'm..." Tears welled up in her eyes and very quickly spilled over as she covered her face with her front hooves and began to weep in humiliation and embarrassment. Sandbar and Gallus both wrapped a leg and wing respectively around her in comfort. "Well, you know how changeling magic works, but does anyone else at the school know?" Sandbar asked. "I don't believe so, no. I'd wager that almost all of the creatures the shockwave reached would just believe it to be an intense dream. Even Princess Luna felt it resonate in the dream realm, but not from the precise source since... She wasn't sleeping. I'm not saying she won't be able to show her face around the school again, but for continually not listening, there is going to have to be some type of punishment. I'm sorry, Ocellus, but the most fitting thing I can think of is laundry room duty after school... For however long it takes to clean the bedding of every creature your shockwave hit." Ocellus didn't offer any kind of verbal response, merely nodded as she didn't remove her face from the cover of her hooves. "Count me in too." Gallus answered. "Me too." Sandbar immediately added. This brought Occelus' tear-filled face up from her hooves as she looked at the two of them. "This is our fault as much as it is hers. If anyone outside the room doesn't know who's directly responsible, we'll take last night as a learning experience. If we have to find somewhere far more private from now on, so be it. I wouldn't trade last night for anything." Gallus said. Yona, Silverstream, and Smolder also stood up from their positions in front of the couch. "That goes for us too." Smolder said, the hippogriff and yak immediately nodding. Ocellus' heart skipped a beat as the five friends surrounding her came to her defense, and her tears of embarrassment were replaced with tears of happiness. Starlight really couldn't come up with the words to answer as an interspecies polyamory was forming in front of her. She picked up her cup of cider and finished the rest of it in two more swallows. "Fine... Just... Fine. I can hardly tell you who to fall in love with or who to experiment with. As long as all of you are much, much more careful than you were last night. The laundry will be waiting for you in the laundry room after the last school bell. That will be all." She finished, cheeks tinting red as she poured herself another glass of cider. Ocellus got up, and with her friends surrounding her, they filed out of the office back into the hall. "Guys... I... I don't even know what to say. Thank you so much." She said, sniffling more tears away. "Thank you," Sandbar replied, stopping to hug her. "I discovered a bit more about myself last night, thanks to you, Ocellus." "That goes for me too," Gallus said, also embracing the overwhelmed changeling once Sandbar had released her. "Yeah, and if your magic can affect us like that just from watching, I can't wait to participate myself!" Silverstream interjected. Yona stepped up. "Where we go for more privacy?" The yak asked. "How about the Castle of the Two Sisters?" Smolder asked. This answer brought chuckles from all six of them, before they all started to consider it. "So... Same time tonight?" Gallus asked. Yona tapped her hoof to her chin in thought. "Depends on how many beds in castle and school." Author's Note https://derpicdn.net/img/view/2018/3/26/1691113.png That's it for now, folks. Thanks for reading!
