It took some doing, but Evershy and her friends were able to get the ship under control. After securing the vegetative Solstice, Windy and the twins rallied the rest of the crew to begin calming the guests and bringing back some semblance of order. Daydream made an announcement over the P.A. system to assure the guests that they were safe and the proper authorities were being contacted. Once the signal jammer was disabled, Evershy was able to get in touch with the coast guard and readily recapped all that had happened. She was instructed to have the crew kill the ship’s engines and wait for help to arrive. Given that it would take more than a day for them to be reached, Daydream ordered all activities on the ship to be cancelled and for the crew to continue to provide food, drink and whatever else the guests needed. The crew’s medical staff saw to any creature that was injured or affected by Solstice’s chemical weapon; fortunately the effects proved temporary and their bodies naturally came down from the emotional highs. Ben was among the treated, having the bullet removed from his shoulder and the wound fully bandaged. He was released and returned to the deck to see how the others were doing in their efforts. Windy spotted him first and ran over to check on him.

“B.B.” She observed the thick, padded bandage. “How’s the arm?”

“No permanent damage.” He rolled the sore joint. “Missed the bone, just muscle and tissue trauma.”

“Fortunately you’ve got muscle to spare.” She smiled and pulled his head down for a kiss. “Thank you, B.B. You’re a real hero.”

“Thanks.” He smiled, a bit embarrassed at the grand title. “How’s the ship?”

“Well, the crew has been tending the guests and Shy got in touch with the coast guard. We’re sitting still until they show up.”

“Guess all we can do is wait.” He sighed.

“You should eat, get your strength back up after all the blood loss.” She grabbed his hand.

“Sounds good.” He nodded, following as she pulled him along.

After being on the phone, an exhausted Evershy returned to the cabin to take a nap. Sprawled out on the bed, having not even changed clothes, she was roused by a knock. She answered the door to find Daydream on the opposite side.

“Hey.” Daydream saw the tired look in her eyes. “I’m sorry, did I wake you?”

“It’s okay, come on in.” Evershy smiled as she rubbed her eyes and headed back to the bed. “How are things coming along?” She asked, sitting on the edge of the mattress.

“Surprisingly, the guests have been taking this pretty well.” He sat beside her. “I mean, there’s some hard feelings about Breath of Fresh Air.” He admitted. “But the crew has been apologizing and trying to make it up to them as much as they can; there’s actually a pretty good dialogue going on though and for the most part they aren’t being hard on us… even though we deserve it.” He smiled over at her. “How about you? You okay?”

“Yeah.” Evershy nodded. “Even based on what we knew, I didn’t expect things to get as wild as they did.” She sighed with a thoughtful bob of her head. “It was pretty scary; and now that the adrenaline has worn off I realize just how close we came to getting ourselves killed.”

“Yeah… I’ve been feeling that too.” He laughed.

Evershy rested her hand on top of his. “There is no way we could have done this without you and the others. Thank you, Daydream.”

Daydream took her hand and squeezed it. “I would say ‘anytime’, but I really don’t want to go through anything like that ever again.” They both laughed and he slowly rose from the bed. “I guess I should keep an eye on things, get some rest.”

She watched him as he turned to leave and time seemed to slow while her mind reviewed the last five days of her life. For a brief moment, in the eye of the tumultuous storm that was in her mind, she felt an instance of clarity. “Daydream?” She stood and followed him.

“Yeah?” He turned back only to be yanked into a deep kiss; overwhelmed at first, his arms soon went around her and pulled her into his body. His heart pounded as their lips parted, seeing her smiling up at him with the sweetest face he had ever laid eyes on. “Mrs…”

“Evershy.” She said. “Daydream, I’m tired of trying to convince myself I don’t want this, because I do.” Her finger’s swam up his chest and held his shoulders. “Stay here with me.”

“There’s no place I’d rather be, Evershy.” He held her cheeks and kissed her, pure bliss running through him as this moment he had wanted so badly finally arrived. They stumbled back and fell onto the bed; her legs spread as she welcomed the feeling of his strained bulge grinding against her dampening panties. Between the two of them, they hastily got her clothes off and she nearly tore her bra straps as she ripped the undergarment off. As her voluptuous chest fell free, he immediately lowered and took her left nipple into his mouth. Evershy gasped and wriggled under his rough suckling, pawing at his head as she mashed his face into her breast. Daydream swapped to her right, reaching down and tugging his shorts off; his legs worked and kicked until he was free of them and he slid off the bed onto his knees. Taking the waistline of her panties firmly, Daydream snapped the elastic with an adrenaline fueled pull and buried his tongue inside her. She screamed in delight at the feeling; grasping her chest and kneading her breasts, her soft thighs closing around his head as he ate her pussy like a starving wolf. He sucked air through his nose, absolutely refusing to pull his mouth away from her as he lost himself in her flavor. Evershy cried out and bucked her hips as his tongue battered her interior walls, the pleasure she felt almost too much to bear.

“God, Daydream!” She reached down and buried her fingers in his mane. “You’re going to make me cum!” Just hearing that was more than enough to make him double his already fevered efforts. He gripped her hips, lifting her lower body into her air and forcing his tongue as deep into her as it could go. His upper lip pressed into her clit and Evershy released her hold on him, falling back onto bed as she filled the room with a heavy groan. Daydream sucked down the swell of warmth that she filled his mouth with; her hanging body jerking wildly in his arms.

Daydream breathed deeply as he finally pulled back, his chin and chest soaked from her orgasm. He laid her back down and braced his hands on the bed, a wide smile on his face as he looked up the mattress at the panting beauty. “You taste better than anything on this ship.” He crawled up her body and kissed her, sharing the sweet taste.

“That was wonderful.” She stared up at him with glassy eyes, her hands running up and down his arms.

“Only because you are.” He kissed her neck.

“I can’t wait anymore.” She gripped his biceps. “Put it inside me, I need to feel you.”

“Are… you sure?” He asked, familiar with her hesitance on the matter.

“Yes, Daydream.” She assured with a confident smile. “Please fuck me, as hard as you want… just fuck me.” She begged.

Needing no further encouragement, he reached down and guided himself into her well lubricated entrance. With a single thrust his entire length disappeared into her, his fingers dug into the sheets at the all-consuming warmth that wrapped around his sex starved member. Evershy felt him bottom out inside of her, making her realize that this was actually happening. The feeling of the passionate young stallion in her was unlike anything she’d felt in so many years now and it rocked her senses. Answering her call, Daydream surrendered himself to the moment as he repeatedly slammed into her; their moans and heated words combining into a symphony of ecstasy as their sexual frustrations towards one another poured out. He soon rolled her onto her left side, lifting her right leg straight up as he mounted the left to get even deeper inside. He hugged her leg, his hips a blur as he pounded her; Evershy’s heavy breasts bounced wildly as he took her, her supple body rippling with each collision of their pelvises.

“Fuck!” He whined into her calf. “I can’t get enough of you, Evershy. You’re even better than I imagined… better than any mare I’ve ever been with.”

“I am?” She managed through her stuttered breaths.

“Absolutely!” He pushed her leg back even farther and drilled down into her.

Evershy teared up at how good he felt, how good she felt. For all the worry, fret and concern that had plagued her over her feelings, she finally felt free and reveled in it. Reaching up and grabbing the back of his neck, she pulled herself into him even harder. “Daydream… cum inside me! I want to feel it!”

Her sultry order did not fall on deaf ears as he quickly swelled. “Shit! Here it comes!” Daydream grabbed her breast for extra leverage as he pushed himself over the edge; days’ worth of built up seed flooding every square inch of her.

“Yes!” Evershy got onto her back again and pulled his body down onto her as she came again, holding him tightly as he spurted and twitched within her. As his massive climax subsided, Daydream melted on top of her and rested his cheek against hers. Everyshy hugged onto him tightly and they held their quiet embrace as their bodies calmed.

After eating with Ben, Windy scoured the ship in search of Aron and Nora. As she walked the decks, she was surprised to see so many of the guests and crew just sitting and talking; undoubtedly working out everything that had transpired. High up on the empty, third level deck she finally found them. The duo was looking out over the water in paired reflection.

“Hey boys.” She called.

“Mrs. Windy.” Aron turned sharply at the sound of her voice.

“Hello, Mrs. Windy.” Nora turned back as well.

“Everything okay?” She asked.

“Yes, the ship…” Aron looked down over the railing.

“Is finally calm again.” Nora ended as he peered down as well.

“How is…” Aron looked back to her.

“Ben doing?” Nora did the same.

“Up and moving.” Windy rested on the rail. “The others are okay too, whatever Solstice did them wasn’t permanent.” She looked over them. “How about you two? You guys took a fair amount of the beating.”

“We’re…” Aron nodded.

“Okay.” Nora copied him.

“You two were real studs out there.” She smiled and palmed their heads. “Like you needed to do anymore to win me over.”

“We’re just glad…” Aron reached up and took her hand.

“You’re okay, Mrs. Windy.” Nora took her opposite.

“You’re very…” Aron smiled.

“Important to us.” Nora smiled with equal brightness.

“Boys.” She smiled lovingly.

“We know that we…” Aron began solemnly.

“Can’t be with you.” Nora said in similar measure.

“But we really…” Aron gazed up at her.

“Love you.” Nora shared his enamored stare.

Windy struggled to hide her tear, she grabbed the backs of their heads and mushed them into her breasts. “You two are too much.” She sniffled. “I love you guys too.”

“Mssh Wndee, we…” Aron mumbled into her right breast.

“Cnt Bweef.” Nora mumbled into her left.

“Oh, sorry.” Windy laughed as she let them go, wiping her eyes. Glancing over, she spied the pool and started over to it; shedding her clothes as she walked. She dove in and upon surfacing, waved the brothers over. “Get over here my little pool toys.” She ordered rather seductively; Aron and Nora looked at each other for a moment before ditching their shorts and jumping in to join her.

As the day grew later, Windy returned to the cabin only to find Evershy and Daydream snuggled in bed together. The startled pairing popped up from the covers to see her grinning at them.

“Well, it’s about damn time.” Windy chortled. “I was getting ready to fuck the poor kid myself.”

“Windy, we… wait, you were?” Evershy asked, a twinge of disapproving jealousy in her voice.

“Ooh, careful with that stare.” She giggled as she went to the dresser. “I’m glad, you two were about ready to explode.” Glancing back at the bed she noticed a few, heavy wet spots. “Although, maybe that’s exactly what happened.”

“Okay, you can stop it now.” Evershy blushed with embarrassment.

“She’s not wrong.” Daydream smiled as he hugged her.

“Hey, I’m not judging.” Windy pulled a new top out and swapped it with the one she had on. “Aron, Nora and I just ruined the third level pool.” She paused. “I hope nobody tries to swim in it now.”

“I’ll… make a note.” Daydream promised. “I should probably make another round of the ship anyhow, it’s been a few hours since I touched base with the rest of the crew.” He caressed Evershy’s cheek and kissed her. “I’ll see you tonight.”

“Okay.” She whispered, kissing his nose.

Grabbing his shorts, he threw them back on and headed out the door. Windy sashayed over to the bed and sat beside Evershy as she rested against the wall. “So, how was it?” She asked.

“It was great.” Evershy admitted with a sheepish smile.

“Well, since we both worked up an appetite, how about we grab dinner.” Windy suggested.

“Sure.” Evershy pulled the sheets off and stood from the bed, yelping as Windy’s hand smacked her ass. “Hey!” She looked back, rubbing her cheek.

“Sorry, you know I can’t resist that butt of yours.” Windy winked.

That night, the ship felt like a normal cruise for the first time. The guests were out under the stars; talking, laughing and dining with the crew. The specter of Solstice’s madness was no longer over them and they were able to relax. The night came and went, and come the early afternoon the ship was approached by a modest fleet of smaller crafts. Daydream, having assumed a role of leadership, met with the mainland authorities. Due to the nature of the situation, they had brought medical staff, a forensics team, a pair of trauma councilors and detectives from the city’s police department. They took command of the ship, as expected, and ordered the crew to put them on a course back to the harbor. Once the ship was underway, the rigorous process of investigating the situation began. Solstice’s comatose body was handed over and although still unresponsive, he was given a once over by the medical staff before being cuffed and restrained. The corpse of the Captain was also taken, placed into a body bag and moved into one of the lower level freezers for the time being. The guests and crew were all given numbers and called via the P.A. one by one to be interviewed and give statements. As their debriefing ended, they were then handed off to the trauma councilors for another interview to check on their mental and emotional health. Ben took the forensics team down below to show them Solstice’s lab as well as the numerous crates of illegal drugs. The day was long and exhausting for every creature; once both Windy and Evershy had their turn through the wringer they decided to get away from everything and relax in the fitness center’s sauna. Wrapped in towels, the two mares breathed in the steam while they rested against each other.

“Who knew the good guys could be just as stressful as the bad guy?” Windy sighed.

“I understand.” Evershy said. “I mean, this situation is absolutely crazy and I’m sure the investigation is going to carry on for some time.” Her eyes popped open. “Oh, there is no way this isn’t making the news… every creature we know is going to find out about this, not to mention the girls.”

“Easy.” Windy calmed her panicking bestie. “You’re right, but we’ll deal with that when we get back to the mainland.” She put her arm around her. “And we’ll deal with it together.” She tilted Evershy’s head and put her lips against hers.

“Sorry, I’m just stressed from all the questioning and interviewing.” Evershy admitted.

“Well, I might be able to help with that.” Windy nuzzled the top of her head.

“Can you?” Evershy asked with a laugh.

“Just let me work my magic.” Windy stood and pulled her towel off, tossing it across the sauna. She reached down into Evershy’s cleavage and pulled her towel open, her soft body glistening with sweat. Pushing her down onto the long, wooden bench; Windy licked the salty fluid from Evershy’s neck and chest. Laying on top of her; their slippery, warm bodies slid against one another as they kissed. Windy pulled Evershy’s leg up and laid back on the bench, scissoring her with a smile as their lower lips passionately kissed. Evershy fell into heavy moans as Windy ground herself against her, rolling her hips to create as much friction as possible. “Come on, Shy.” Windy growled. “You know what I want.” The two of them sat up, balancing on one arm and pushing themselves into each other as hard as they could. They sweated even harder in the heated room, their legs and thighs sliding across each other with ease as they worked their hips with abandon.

“Ah… Windy!” Evershy reached out with her free hand and pulled her into a kiss, screaming into her mouth as she drenched the bench. Windy let her fall back onto the seat as she kept going; leaning forward and pushing Evershy’s leg back, she rode her labia wildly.

“Fuck! I’m gonna cum, Shy!” The enclosed, brick structure echoed with her yell as she climaxed. Evershy gripped the edge of the bench as Windy thrashed, biting her lip as her sensitive clit was pleasured past its limit. Windy finally fell forward onto her, burying her face in Evershy’s neck. “Oh… phew…” She panted. “De-stressed now?”

“Uh huh.” Evershy hugged onto her, her breath strained from the steam. “But we should get out of here before we die.” She laughed.

“Yeah, good idea.” Windy chuckled, lightheaded from being overheated.

Making it back to the changing room and getting dressed again, the cool evening air felt amazing as they made it back up to the main deck. They noticed the lack of crew members about as they walked back to the cabin and began to wonder what was going on. The boys didn’t come back until nearly nine o’clock; as they filed into the room Evershy was quick to question them.

“There you are.” She looked them over. “We were getting worried, what happened?”

“Well, the crew was gathered for a mass meeting with the detectives.” Ben explained as he loped by them.

“Good news is, none of the guests are filing charges against us for what happened.” Daydream continued, his voice filled with relief. “We got an earful though and more than a few reminders of how lucky we are.”

“That’s great.” Evershy hugged him. “I was worried about that.”

“So what’s the bad news?” Windy asked.

“The ship is being…” Aron began.

“Taken by the authorities.” Nora concluded.

“So we are…” Aron continued.

“Officially unemployed.” Nora ended.

“I’ll take jobless birds over jail birds any day of the week.” Windy put her arms around them.

“We figured this would happen anyway.” Ben interjected. “So it isn’t that big a surprise.”

“What about Solstice?” Evershy inquired.

“Still out cold.” Daydream shrugged. “They’re going to take him in but he’s going to be in the hospital until they figure out just what the hell happened to him.” He sighed. “The captain is bagged and is going to be autopsied to find out the cause of death.”

“We should be back to harbor by the end of the day tomorrow.” Ben folded his arms. “Guess it’s really over.”

“Hey, we’ve still got one more day then.” Windy hugged his side. “Let’s just spend it together.”

“I can go for that.” Daydream took Evershy’s hands in his. “Might as well go out on a high note.”

“Free booze is on me!” Windy hurried over to the phone to contact room service under the laughter of her friends.

Finally able to be together to celebrate their victory as a group, they refused to let their last day together be a somber one. Despite the ship being under the control of the coast guard, the guests and crew made their final day aboard fun. The live bands took up their instruments again and the main deck was fashioned into a block party. The afternoon brought the mainland into the horizon and everyone packed up and prepared to disembark. The coast guard oversaw the process, making sure every creature on the passenger roster was accounted for. Windy and Evershy waited along the dock for Daydream and the others as the crew was released last.

“Evershy!” Daydream’s hand popped up amongst the moving crowd.

“Over here!” She waved back. The boys walked with them until they were at the base of the parking structure. Seeing it made them all a bit sad, the time finally coming to say goodbye.

“Well, guess this is it.” Daydream managed a smile as he went to Evershy.

Evershy hugged him tightly, setting her cheek to his chest. “Thank you, all of you. In spite of everything, this trip was amazing and I’m glad we got to meet you.”

“Same here.” He kissed the top of her head, nuzzling her fragrant hair. “I’m going to miss you, Evershy. I don’t know who your husband is… but I don’t think I’ve ever been more jealous of any creature before.” He laughed.

“Daydream.” She looked up at him with a sincere smile. “You’re a wonderful guy, I know that if you look in the right places you’ll find some mare even better than me.”

“I’m not holding my breath.” He kissed her.

“What about you, B.B.?” Windy slapped his good arm. “What’s the plan?”

“Well, we’ve actually been talking about that.” He slowly nodded. “We’re going to stick together for the time being; find some work and get a roof over our heads.”

“Really?” Evershy asked.

“Yeah.” Daydream confirmed. “Figure we’ve got a better chance together.”

“That’s awesome.” Windy applauded.

“Afer that…” Ben smiled. “I’m going to get my G.E.D. and look into some student aid for college tuition. I’m not going to spend my life being a boy toy.”

“That’s great, B.B.” Windy said proudly.

“Canyon.” He said.

“Huh?” Windy eyed him.

“My name… it's Canyon.”

“Canyon eh.” She smirked. “I like B.B. better.”

He laughed. “Me too.” Kneeling down he put his arms around her and squeezed her tightly.

“You’ll do just fine out there, B.B.” She patted his back. “You’ve got nothing to worry about; and I’ll be rooting for you the whole time.”

“Thank you.” He kissed her cheek.

Windy turned to the twins, their lone eyes deeply saddened at the idea of saying goodbye to her. “Boys.” She teared up as she went to them, realizing how attached she had truly become.

“We’ll miss you…” Aron said shakily.

“Mrs. Windy.” Nora said in similar fashion.

Windy lowered herself and placed her hands under the plumage over their eyes. She pushed it back over their heads, gasping as she found that their hidden eyes were emerald green. Smiling at the beautiful surprise, she set her hands to their cheeks. “I’m going to miss you guys too.”

“Will we ever…” Aron began.

“See you again?” Nora ended the question.

“I hope so.” Windy said earnestly. “You two take care of yourselves, and remember what I said about staying confident.”

“We will…” Aron hugged her right side.

“Mrs. Windy.” Nora hugged her left.

With a final round of farewells, Windy and Evershy ascended the parking structure and returned to her car. Windy quietly put their luggage in the trunk, finding Evershy sitting on the hood as she closed the door. “Shy?” She went to her, observing the distant look in her eyes.

“I’m scared to go home, Windy.” She admitted, looking up at her. “So much has happened and I… I have to tell Cirrus the truth. About you, about Daydream… all of it.” Her eyes watered. “I don’t know what’s going to happen.”

“Hey.” Windy sat at her side, putting her arm around her. “I’ll talk to him with you.” She promised. “I don’t know what’s going to happen either; but whatever happens, I’ll be with you the whole time.” She laid her head to hers. “I’m always going to be by your side from now on. I’ve spent too long wanting to be with you to be anywhere else.”

Evershy started to cry, hugging her fiercely. “Thank you, Windy.” She sobbed.

“I love you, Shy.” Windy pulled her as close as physically possible.

“I love you too.”

“Come on.” Windy ran her fingers through Evershy’s hair. “Let’s go face life, together.”

“Right.” Wiping her eyes, Evershy nodded confidently.

They hopped in the car and Windy sped out of the empty structure; taking to the highway with one hand on the wheel and the other holding Evershy’s.

Epilogue:

A detective walked the corridors of St. Marianne General, heading for the psychiatric ward. The grisled stallion made his way into the office, asking the receptionist to get the presiding physician.

“Ah, you must be Detective Anaheim.” The doctor took his hand. “Dr. Hancock.”

“Right, good to meet you.” Anaheim nodded. “So, what’s the deal with this guy?”

“Well, that’s… complicated.” Hancock bid him to follow. They entered the recesses of the ward, passing by observation rooms with various patients. Stopping at the third to last room, Hancock gestured to the viewing window.

“That him?” Anaheim asked. “Solstice, right?”

“According to records, yes.” Hancock confirmed.

“I got the gist of what happened from the police reports.” Anaheim watched as a nurse spoon fed Solstice while he stared at the glass with empty eyes. “Chemical weapon using heavy drug compounds. So what exactly happened to him?”

“Well, the labs are still trying to reverse engineer his concoctions.” Hancock sighed. “We know basically what went into them, but their full nature is unlike anything we’ve ever seen. It’s a shame, the work itself is genius.”

“Fine line between genius and lunatic, doc.” Anaheim said profoundly.

“I suppose so.” Hancock conceded. “In any case, he was exposed to all of the compounds simultaneously. His amygdala, and subsequently his limbic system, were overloaded and damaged beyond repair.”

“English.” Anaheim raised his brow.

“Basically, for a few agonizing moments, he felt everything at once… now… he feels nothing at all.”

“So he’s a zuchinni now?”

“No, he isn’t vegetative.” Hancock assured. “He just… is no longer capable of emotional response. We have to feed and bathe him because he no longer seems to feel the need or desire for self preservation.”

“How long is he going to be like this?” Anaheim inquired. “He’s got a lot to answer for, not least of which being homicide.”

“I can’t say if he will ever recover.” Hancock shook his head. “Like I said, we’ve never seen anything like this.”

“Fine, just keep the department updated on his condition.” With a sigh, Anaheim followed the doctor back out of the ward.

Back inside the observation room, the nurse finished Solstice’s feeding and began to clean up. “There we go.” She said cheerfully as she laid him down on the bed. “Now, just get some rest and I’ll be back tonight for dinner and a nice hot bath, doesn’t that sound nice?” She asked, her only response a blank stare. “I’ll turn the light out for you, sleep well.” As her footsteps echoed away, Solstice bolted upright; he swung his legs over the side of the bed and stared at the glass where the detective once stood. An audible crack sounded as his fist balled and his face began to contort. A sickly laugh came from his mouth as his furious eyes began to stream tears that flowed down his cheeks, coming to a rest at the peak of an unnaturally wide smile.
