Rewarding Punishment

Starlight took a long sip out of her mug. “Calm down, Ocellus. Just tell me what’s on your mind.”

Ocellus kept trembling as she sat on the couch. “It’s still the same problem as before.” She looked down, sheepishly pressing her hooves together. “E-Except I actually did just a little bit to push them closer…”

Starlight nodded. “Alright, and how did you feel after you did that?”

“It felt great!” Ocellus said, the memory finally getting her to smile. “It made me happy to see them get closer, even if it was just for a few moments. But...then I felt guilty and...” The changeling let out a heavy sigh. “...Is it wrong for me to meddle in the personal lives of two others that...you know...really care for each other?”

Starlight tapped her hooves against the desk, trying to think of what would be the right thing to say.

“I know I shouldn’t try to interfere with their lives, but I’d also feel bad knowing there’s something I could’ve done instead that would make both of them happy!”

“Well, it’d probably be easier for me to figure out a specific solution if I knew just which two students you were talking about...” Starlight said, almost muttering it under her breath.

“I-I’m sorry, but I still don’t think I should say who...” Ocellus said, knowing that Starlight probably wouldn’t believe her even if she did name names.

Starlight sighed. “I figured as much. Probably for the best, though. Wouldn’t want a bunch of rumors to get out of control in the school.” Starlight looked back at Ocellus. “Is there something else about this that’s troubling you?”

Ocellus slowly nodded. “Sometimes it feels like I’m just being selfish. Like I’m only doing it because I sensed a little bit of love between them at first and just want more...”

“But you’re not doing it so you can feed off their love, right? You’re doing it because you genuinely want to see them happy, aren’t you?”

“Y-yeah…?”

“Well then, it’s not so selfish after all, is it?” Starlight said with a wink.

Ocellus let out a small giggle of relief. “I’m sorry, I know that I’ve been having a lot of these meetings with you lately...”

“You don’t need to apologize, Ocellus. If getting it out is what helps you deal with this problem, then I’m here to listen.”

“Well, I do feel better when I talk about it with you, but I still don’t know what I should do…”

Starlight let out a gasp of revelation. “Wait, have you tried asking one of them how they feel about the other?”

Ocellus nearly choked on air. “A-Are you kidding!? How could I possibly do that?”

“Well, if you’re so torn about wanting to help them out, maybe the best solution is to ask one of them directly. Who knows? It might be easier that way!”

“I...huh…”

Meanwhile, in Applejack’s classroom, Gallus sat in his usual seat, waiting around in awkward silence for yet another round of detention.

The entire time, Gallus was restless, always moving around in his chair and looking around the room, trying to avoid looking at Applejack.

Seeing Gallus squirm in his seat was admittedly a little amusing for Applejack, who kept watching with a smirk on her face.

Gallus took a deep breath to try and calm himself. As he was trying to collect his thoughts, he made eye contact with Applejack. For a moment, he was taken back to the Amity Ball, where he had one arm wrapped around Applejack, moving in synchronization in the center of the dance floor. Once he returned to reality, he clutched his head with his talons, mentally kicking himself.

“Ya know, you don’t have to cause trouble all the time,” Applejack said, finally breaking the silence.

“Huh?”

“Ah’ve seen how you’ve been behaving lately, ya know. You’re not the best at being subtle. Ah know you’ve been making a little scene every once in a while and getting caught on purpose.”

“I...don’t know what you’re talking about…” Gallus muttered, turning his head to the side.

“C’mon, you’re not gonna tell me you’ve been landing detention with me just to build up that gryphon endurance. Though admittedly, yer stamina has been improving,“ she mused to herself.

Gallus grumbled to himself, his body tensing up at the thought of more will-breaking sex.

“If ya really wanna spend time with me, you can just ask,” Applejack leaned on Gallus’s desk, removing her hat. “We could do something a lot more fun than me riding ya ‘till ya pass out...” she joked, giving Gallus a playful poke to the ribs.

“H-hey!” Gallus protested with a heavy blush on his cheeks.

“Just a thought, sugarcube.” Applejack chuckled. “Anyway, detention’s over. Ah don’t see a reason to keep you here any longer. Plus, Apple Bloom needed to show me something back at the farm. So you’re free to go.”

“Wait, really?”

“Yup. Go on, get.”

It took a bit for Gallus to realize Applejack was serious, but soon, he was out of his seat. Before he was out the door, he stopped and turned around. “Uh, Professor Applejack?”

“Yes?”

Gallus opened his beak, but after a moment of silence, he shook his head. “...Never mind, I forgot what I was gonna ask,” he said as he rushed out of the classroom.

“Right…” Applejack shook her head to herself, taking her time to exit.

The next day, Starlight sat down in her office, contemplating the idea of taking a quick nap on her desk to catch up on some lost sleep. Before she could lay her head down and close her eyes, there was a knock on the door.

“C-Come in!” she said, trying to psych herself up.

The door cracked open, and Applejack stuck her head through. “Hey Starlight, are ya busy?”

“Uh, not yet. I’ve still got an hour before my next scheduled appointment, why?”

Applejack let herself into the office, closing the door behind her. “You mind if I ask for your advice on something?”

“Uh...sure! Go for it!” Starlight said, trying to figure out how to do counseling for one of the teachers.

Applejack sat down on the couch. “Is it...wrong if Ah started taking a liking to one of the students?”

Starlight tilted her head. “I...don’t think so? I mean, I guess it’s normal for teachers to have favorite students, but-”

“No no no, Ah’m not talking ‘bout having favorites. Ah mean like...” Applejack looked to the side for a moment, hesitating in her word choice. There wasn’t an easy way to say it, but she had to spit it out. “...romantically.”

Starlight tried to subdue her reaction, but her eyes immediately widened, and a gasp left her mouth before she had the chance to control herself.

“Well, guess I should’ve expected that…” Applejack nervously rubbed the back of her head.

“Sorry, I just...WOW.” After a moment to collect herself, Starlight continued the conversation. “Alright, this isn’t some sort of hypothetical situation? You really feel this way about one of the students?”

Applejack nodded, a small blush showing on her cheeks.

“Is it like a one-sided crush thing, or...do they know?”

Applejack let out a light chuckle. “That’s the thing. It all started cause I think they’re sweet on me. But I can’t tell for sure how serious it is.”

Starlight tapped her hooves on her desk. “And just to be clear, they’re not trying to butter you up so that they get better grades in class or anything, right?”

There was a loud laugh from Applejack at her suggestion. “Definitely not the case.”

“Sooo...mind telling me who this mystery student iiiis?” Starlight leaned in closer, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.

“Heh, that’s probably best kept a secret for now. Wouldn’t want things to get awkward for you if they ever came to visit.”

“Ugh, fine…” Starlight groaned in annoyance. “...But is that the main issue for you? Not knowing if they really like you back?”

Applejack pondered the question for a bit. “Well, one of the other things that’s buggin’ me is just...even if we got together, what would the rest of the school think of it?”

“Yeah, the other students would definitely think something was up if they saw one of the teachers dating a student…” Starlight nodded in agreement. “And that’s not even going into what Twilight would say.”

“Guess Ah can’t really control what others would think, huh?”

“Well, I could, but…” Starlight trailed off as Applejack gave her a concerned and somewhat disturbed look. “A-Anyway, I don’t know what the right choice for you to make is. Even in the best-case scenario, there’s still consequences to deal with. But I do know that whatever choice you do make, it should probably be soon. Don’t wanna let the opportunity pass you by, after all.”

“I suppose you’re right. Might take a while, but I think I can figure things out.” Applejack looked over at the clock. “Well, better get going so I can start class. Thanks for listening to me, Starlight.”

“That's why I’m here.”

After Applejack left, Starlight idly spun around in her chair. “...It’s probably not Yona... Sandbar, maybe?”

Once classes were done for the day, Gallus went straight to his room. Once he locked the door behind him, he faceplanted onto his bed, screaming frustration into his pillow. Ever since the night of the dance, he couldn’t stop thinking about Applejack. Whether he was studying, working out, or hanging out with his friends, Applejack kept invading his thoughts. He’s had sex with her multiple times, why did thinking about her get him worked up now?

Gallus turned over, staring at the bunk above him. Maybe a nap would fix things. At least he remembered to lock the door. Last time he forgot, Applejack broke in, tied him up, and started riding him. All he could do was watch her do it, even though she was in total control, she still had a blush that reached her freckles and-

A scream of anguish filled the room as Gallus covered his face with his talons. He needed to figure out what the hell was wrong with him. He considered going to his friends for advice, but that idea was quickly shot down on the basis that Smolder and Silverstream would make fun of him forever. Counselor Starlight was an option, but that would require telling one staff member about his feelings towards another staff member.

Suddenly, Gallus’s eyes widened in epiphany. It was a bit of a long shot, but he may have figured out the two best candidates to help him. He wasted no time rushing to the train station, hoping to catch the next ride to Griffonstone.

“Alright, this better be important. I could be doing things that aren’t this,” Gilda said, impatiently tapping her paw against the ground.

“Wait, why are you asking me and Gilda for help, again?” Gabby asked.

“Because you two have the most experience in dealing with ponies,” Gallus explained, before looking down at the dirt. “...That and...you two are the only griffons I know that tolerate me.”

“Aww, that’s so sweet, Gallus!” Gabby cooed, immediately pulling him in for a tight hug.

Gilda gave a reluctant shrug. “Well I’d hate to waste your train ticket to get here. What’s the problem?”

Gallus felt a little relief, knowing that it was worth the trip to Griffonstone after all. “I’m having trouble in school, because-”

“Yeah, all that learning stuff wasn’t exactly my strong suit,” Gilda interrupted. “So unless you want tips on how to cheat and not get caught-“

“No, not like that! It’s...it’s one of the teachers! She’s driving me crazy!”

“Ohhh, I see. You want us to go over there and teach her a lesson instead!” Gilda grinned, cracking her knuckles.

“NO! I mean, she put me in detention and tested out my endurance and stamina. And ever since then, she just keeps putting me in detention almost every week, wearing me out by testing my endurance for hours. And I just keep going back there to do it all over again! Then there was this stupid dance thing. Now I can’t even look her in the eyes, AND I DON’T KNOW WHAT THE HELL’S WRONG WITH ME!” Gallus screamed out.

Gilda and Gabby recoiled at the outburst, neither of them having any idea how to respond to his situation.

“Just...ugh, I need a moment.” Gallus muttered, before flying off to clear his head.

As soon as Gallus left, Gilda chuckled. “Wow, I don’t think I’ve seen a griffon so hopelessly in love like that.”

Gabby blinked in confusion. “Wait, in love!? Really? That’s what that was?”

“Trust me, he’s crazy, but he’s crazy for her. You’ll understand what I mean sooner or later.”

“What do you mean? I’m plenty old enough!” Gabby protested.

“But that thing about testing his endurance…” Gilda mused, ignoring Gabby. “I think I got a good idea what he’s talking about…”

“Well, I feel bad for him, but what can we do to help?”

“I’m pretty sure I know how his endurance and stamina is being tested. I got a good idea on what to do for him…”

“What about me?”

“Well, you could go around and ask if they’ve heard anything about Gallus. Might get some info that he’s not telling us. That or you can just spend some alone time with that dragon you always write to.” Gilda smirked, elbowing Gabby with her eyebrows raised.

“What’s that supposed to mean?” Gabby asked, genuinely confused.

“Ech, forget it...” Gilda sighed.

‘You’re really gonna go over there to help him?”

“Well, that and it gives me the chance to tease Dash about becoming a nerd while I’m there.”

After all three griffons made it to Ponyville, Gilda accompanied Gallus to the School of Friendship the next day as Gabby wandered around on her own.

Gallus spotted Applejack walking across the hall and pointed her out. “There. That’s the teacher I was talking about.”

Gilda let out a sigh of relief. “Ahh, I see. I’m just glad it wasn’t Dash that was driving you crazy. Or worse, Pinkie. Don’t worry, I’ll help ya out. Especially with your endurance.”

“...How?”

Before Gilda could answer, a familiar voice spoke up.

“Gilda? What are you doing here?”

Gilda turned around, and once she recognized who was talking, her face lit up with a mischievous grin. “Well, I just wanted to catch up, Professor Egghead!”

“Really, G? That’s how you’re gonna greet me?” Dash couldn’t even look annoyed. Seeing Gilda again just put a cocky smirk on her face.

“Aw, c’mon Dash, I finally get to see you at your new job and you expect me to not take advantage of it?”

“Yeah yeah, at least I make all my lessons awesome.”

“Oh yeah? You giving them all lessons on how to take naps properly?”

As Gilda and Rainbow Dash walked off to the side of the hallway to continue their conversation, Gallus felt a claw tap his shoulder.

“Dude, you brought your mom with you to school today?” Smolder smirked, crossing her arms.

“Wha-No, Gilda’s not my mom, she’s-”

“Your girlfriend?”

Gallus could feel his cheeks starting to burn. “She’s not that either!”

Smolder laughed at how quickly Gallus got flustered. “Relax, I’m kidding! Besides, your girlfriend’s already at this school, isn’t she?”

“...Huh?”

“Well, probably not your girlfriend yet, but still…” Smolder shrugged. “I didn’t think you’d go for Professor Applejack, but-”

Gallus froze in terror. “What!?”

A few of the other students started taking interest in Gallus and Smolder’s conversation, slightly turning their heads in their direction and keeping an ear out, or pretending to be preoccupied by something, but staying nearby.

The smirk on Smolder’s face grew bigger. “C’mon, I dunno what griffon affection looks like, but you clearly have a thing for her.”

Gallus started clenching his fists. “I do not have a thing for her!”

Smolder raised an eyebrow. “You whistled at her ass, dude. That sounds pretty clear-cut to me. Or is it accent that’s doing it for ya? Cause-” She gestured towards Gallus, waiting for an explanation.

“Gah, shut up!” Gallus yelled, impulsively shoving Smolder in the chest.

All the smugness on Smolder’s face quickly faded away as she was sent stumbling onto her rear.

Any sort of subtlety from the onlookers was dropped, all eyes were now on Smolder to see what she would do next.

With a silent acceptance of the situation, Smolder stood back up, dusted herself off, walked over to Gallus, and shoved him back.

The next thing Gallus knew, he and Smolder were trading blows. Gallus could feel when Smolder got a punch in, but there was no pain. Rationality had disappeared, and adrenaline had taken its place.

The next few moments were a complete blur for Gallus. There was screaming, punching, kicking, and maybe some biting involved.

The action was brought to a complete stop as Applejack and Rainbow Dash forced the two apart. “Woah, woah, guys! The hell’s going on?”

As Gallus struggled to catch his breath, the realization of what he’d just done finally caught up to him. “Ah crap…”

“Ah dunno what started it, but whatever it was, Ah’m pretty sure there was no reason for you two to start punching each other like that.”

“Really guys? I thought you two would know better…” Dash grumbled. “Sorry, G. We’re gonna have to continue our conversation later.”

“No worries, I get it. You got a job to do and all,” Gilda nodded.

Applejack looked down at Gallus. “...You already know what Ah’m gonna say, right?”

“Yeah, yeah, detention…” Gallus winced, the pain of each punch started to sink in as the adrenaline wore off.

As Gilda watched Applejack walk away with Gallus, she got a flash of inspiration. “Hey, you mind if I come along with him?”

Applejack was taken aback by the odd request. “Uh...Ah guess you can…” she shrugged. “Don’t know why you’d want to, though.”

Soon, Gallus was back in his usual spot. Only this time, he had a guest with him. Every time he looked at Gilda, she looked back at him with a sly smirk.

Being supervised by both Applejack and Gilda gave him a sense of embarrassment that he’d never felt before.

Applejack watched the two griffons exchange looks, shaking her head in confusion. Why Gilda wanted to be part of this was beyond her understanding.

“You know, Gallus here has been telling me he’s been having some trouble in this school,” Gilda said, finally breaking the awkward silence.

Applejack raised an eyebrow. “...Yeah? How so?”

“Well, it’s not with the classes or the homework like I thought. It’s one of the teachers he’s having an issue with.”

“Really now?” Applejack leaned forward, her focus shifting to Gallus.

Gallus felt a chill wash over his entire body. He slammed his forehead into his desk and prayed for the sweet release of death.

Gilda leaned back in her chair. “Yeah, something about wanting to have the endurance for her or whatever. It’s actually why I decided to come here. Cause he wanted me to help him out.”

Applejack’s head tilted to the side. She wasn’t surprised that Gallus had told someone about detention, but asking for help was definitely unexpected.

“So, Gal…” Gilda reached over and wrapped her arm around his shoulder. “What usually goes on when you land yourself in detention?”

Gallus could practically feel his soul trying to escape his body. “Uh, this is usually where she...tests my endurance.”

“Yeah?” Gilda cocked her head back with a smirk. “Show me how.”

“...Do I have to?”

“You wanted me to help, didn’t ya?”

With a resigned sigh, Gallus looked over at Applejack. “Professor Applejack? Do you...uh...do you wanna do this?”

Applejack tapped her chin with her hoof, pondering her options. She had some reservations with having Gilda being in the same room, but since Gallus went through all the trouble, she decided it was worth a try. “Sure, let’s see how long you last this time,” she said, climbing up onto her desk.

Gallus got out of his seat and walked towards Applejack, pushing the fact that Gilda was watching to the back of his mind so that he could focus on getting an erection. His focus was set on watching Applejack prepare.

Applejack sat at the edge of the desk, slowly spreading her legs out. With a wink to Gallus, Applejack tipped the brim of her hat over her eyes, then popped it off in the opposite direction, letting her hat fall on her desk.

Seeing Applejack wink directly at him made a different kind of chill shoot down his spine, and it definitely helped in getting himself ready as he approached.

Once Applejack eyed Gallus’s growing excitement, she laid back on the desk, lifting her hooves up in the air.

Just as Gallus put his claws on Applejack’s legs, ready to start, Gilda grabbed his shoulder. “Woah there, what do you think you’re doing?”

Gallus looked back in utter confusion. “Uh...I was gonna...you know, have sex with her?”

“Tch, just like that? C’mon, Gal, I thought you knew better than that! You gotta build up to it, make the mood right!” Gilda shook her head, guiding Gallus to the other side of the desk.

“Are you...are you coaching me on how to have sex?”

Applejack looked up as the griffons walked behind her. “Uh, should Ah stay like this or…?”

“Nah, you’re gonna wanna sit back up for this,” Gilda said, nudging Applejack up. “Alright Gallus, put those talons to use!”

“...How?”

Gilda let out a long, drawn-out sigh as she smacked her forehead. “Alright. Put your hands on her shoulders.”

Gallus did as he was told, still not following what Gilda was planning.

“Now start massaging.”

There was a tense silence before Gallus gave Applejack’s shoulders an awkward squeeze. “Uh...I’ve never given anyone a massage before. Like, ever.”

“You are so lucky I’m feeling nice today…” Gilda muttered. She stood behind Gallus and put her own talons on his shoulders. “Ok, just do what I do.”

Gilda started by pressing the tips of her fingers and thumbs into his shoulders, expecting Gallus to match her movements.

Gallus attempted to translate what Gilda was doing to him towards Applejack. He slowly squeezed Applejack’s shoulders, trying to move his fingers whenever Gilda did.

Applejack let out a little grunt of approval as she felt those talons press into her tense muscles. It was a little awkward, but it was more relaxing than painful.

Without releasing her grip, Gilda lifted Gallus’s shoulders upwards, expecting him to do the same.

Gallus rolled Applejack’s firm muscles up, still trying to imitate Gilda’s motions. “Am I doing alright, Professor Applejack?”

There was a small moan from Applejack’s lips as she nodded. “Heh...n-not bad...”

“Ya see? Now keep going, just like that.” Gilda said, finally taking her hands off Gallus to let him do the work.

Now without Gilda’s guidance, Gallus just repeated his previous motions: gentle squeezes and rolling her shoulder muscles up, occasionally moving his hands to knead a different part of her shoulders.

Applejack rolled her neck from side to side as Gallus squeezed her shoulders. It certainly wasn’t a spa treatment, but there was something about those talons that made the massage unique.

Gilda nodded in approval. “Now get on the other side of the desk and start working on her thighs…”

Gallus hesitated, the urge to question why was tempting, but he decided it would be easier to just go with it.

Once he got to the other side of the desk, he was face-to-face with Applejack again. A quick look told Gallus that she had an amused smirk on her face, but also a blush that reached her freckles.

Following Gilda’s instructions, his focus turned to her thighs. As Gallus grabbed onto Applejack, his fingers pressed into her thighs, already feeling the mass of muscles underneath.

Gallus still had no idea what he was doing, but to avoid Gilda demonstrating on his own legs, he decided to improvise. With her powerful legs in hand, he clumsily squeezed and rubbed her haunches, moving his hands up and down her hooves.

Applejack resisted the urge to chuckle at Gallus’s attempt. It felt more like she was being felt up than massaged. Though when Gallus did something right, she let out a little moan to let him know.

“Get the cutie mark,” Gilda instructed. “It drives them wild when you do that.”

As Gallus’s fingers hovered over her flank, he turned his head towards her. “Uh, Gilda? How do you know all this stuff?”

“Don’t worry about it.” Gilda said quickly, turning her head away to hide the blush on her cheeks.

“What am I even doing…” Gallus said with a heavy sigh. His fingers pressed against her rear, kneading specifically into the apples on her flank.

Applejack threw her head back, her body shivering in delight. “Hoooooboy!”

After a few minutes of the cutie mark massage, Gilda stopped Gallus once more. “Alright Gal, ya notice how wet she is now?”

Gallus directed his gaze inward, finally noticing the slight drippings from Applejack’s vagina. “...Huh.”

“And now look how satisfied she is.”

Applejack looked down at Gallus with a warm smile instead of a smug smirk, and her blush now extended to the rest of her cheeks.

“See?” Gilda repeatedly elbowed Gallus. “Now that’s how you get a girl in the mood.”

“Great, do we start having sex now?”

“Go for it,” Gilda nodded, leaning back on the student desks.

Gallus grabbed onto Applejack’s legs, taking the same position he did before Gilda’s interruption. Once he penetrated her, he noticed that he slid in much more easily than usual.

Applejack bit her lip, resting her hooves on Gallus shoulders as he started thrusting into her.

Gallus started out slow, but soon got himself into a rhythm. It started to feel like a typical detention, save for the fact that Gilda was still watching like a voyeuristic coach.

“Heh, ya know, it wasn’t bad for yer first try at a massage,” Applejack chuckled.

Gallus scoffed. “You don’t have to say that just to make me feel better…”

Applejack shook her head. “Well, it wasn’t perfect, but ya managed to get me hot and bothered. Gotta count for something, right?”

“Yeah, whatever…”

Applejack’s hooves twitched on Gallus’s shoulders. “Nnf...Cause of all that, Ah might just cum before you this time…”

Gallus’s interest was piqued. If he could actually last longer than Applejack, even if it was just for today...maybe it’d be worth learning how to give a pony a massage…

Gallus started putting a little more oomph into his thrusts, grabbing onto Applejack’s legs and pulling them back as he thrusted forward.

Just like she had predicted, Applejack was the first to orgasm. Her legs shot up skyward as she let out a sultry scream.

Gallus was only able to bask in the pride of his accomplishment for only a few seconds before his own orgasm followed suit.

Both of them spent a minute basking in the afterglow, breathing heavily as Gallus slowly pulled out, letting their sexual fluids drip off the desk and onto the floor.

Once they caught their breath, they were ready for round two. But before Gallus could reenter, Gilda spoke up.

“What, you’re just gonna keep going like that?”

Gallus nearly threw up his hands in frustrated resignation. What could she possibly have to criticize? “I...I was planning on it, yeah. Why?”

Gilda shook her head in disapproval. “Nuh-uh. If ya keep doing the same thing, you’re gonna bore her. You gotta switch things up! Get in a new position.”

With an annoyed sigh, Gallus looked down at his professor. “Alright, well...how do you wanna do this?”

After a bit of thinking, Applejack grinned. “Ah got an idea. Just sit down for a bit,” she said, standing herself up.

Gallus did as he was told, sitting down on the desk. He watched as Applejack backed up into him, squeezing and rubbing his erection between her buttcheeks, before slowly and carefully sitting down on Gallus’s lap, his cock pushed up her ass.

“Maybe you can work on your massages while you’re back there,” Applejack joked, bouncing up and down on his cock.

Gallus’s hot breath hit the back of Applejack’s neck as she did her work. Maybe it was just to prevent Gilda from doing more nagging, but he decided to put in some effort too. He grabbed onto Applejack’s shoulders and tried to repeat the massage, which was significantly harder with all the bouncing.

Applejack felt those claws wrap around her shoulders, trying to squeeze and knead her tense muscles. Just to make things easier for him, she slowed down her pace.

“C’mon, knead those shoulders, Gal! Make her love it!” Gilda cheered on, sitting on one of the student desks. Since the two were occupied with each other, Gilda decided to get more personal enjoyment out of this show. Her claw reached down, teasing and rubbing her slit.

Each time Applejack and Gallus reached their climaxes, they switched positions. Gilda was more than happy to provide her own commentary, much to Gallus’s annoyance.

Soon, they were both on the floor. Applejack raising her butt in the air, and Gallus taking her from behind, his hands holding onto her sides.

Gallus had no idea how much time had passed, but his fatigue was starting to show. His breaths were getting heavier, and his legs had a slight tremble.

Gilda was quick to notice that Gallus was losing steam, and got up from the desk. “Aw, c’mon, Gallus. Don’t tell me you’re giving up now!”

“Guh...I’m...trying!” Gallus grunted with labored breaths, his body starting to feel numb.

‘Well, looks like you need some more of my help!”

“Wait, what are you gonna do-”

Gilda wrapped her arms around Gallus from behind, pressing her own body against his. She started thrusting her hips to make Gallus move his.

“Woah-ho-ho! That’s interestin’...” Applejack couldn’t see exactly what was going on, but she felt a lot more weight behind each thrust.

“C’mon Gallus, don’t expect me to do all the work! Keep going!” Gilda ordered, squeezing Gallus’s thighs between her legs for motivation.

“What the fuck is my life right now…” Gallus muttered to himself as he continued humping, sandwiched between the two girls.

“W-whatever it is you two are doin’, keep it up…” Applejack said with a shuddery moan, nearly drooling on the floor.

“This isn’t what I had in mind when I came to you for help…” Gallus muttered, looking back at Gilda.

“Don’t wuss out, Gal,” Gilda chuckled. “It’s your pride as a griff to never leave a mare unsatisfied!”

“I can’t even feel my pride...”

“Y’all do know detention ended 5 hours ago, raight?” Applejack smirked. There were so many things that she needed to reschedule. Both farmwork and schoolwork would have to wait. If Gilda wanted to demonstrate to Gallus how to please a mare, so be it.

With Gilda’s assistance, Gallus didn’t have to put much effort into thrusting. Which was convenient, because he was struggling to stay focused.

“I think I’m gonna pass out…”

“Ohhh no ya don’t!” Gilda stepped back, letting go of Gallus to flex her fingers in preparation.

“Huh? What are you AAAAAAAAIIIIIEEEEE!” Without warning, Gilda had plunged her middle finger as far as it would go up Gallus’s ass. The sensation both brought him to an instant orgasm, and raised his voice up an octave.

“Woah-nelly! I-I don’t know what you did, but he sure perked up!” Applejack shivered.

“Wh...WHAT THE FUCK!? YOU CAN’T JUST...DO THAT!” Gallus screamed, his body still twitching from shock.

“Hey, it worked, didn’t it?”

“I- Just- You- Why-” Gallus stammered in rage. He couldn’t believe that Gilda would just brazenly stick a finger up there.

“C’mon, you still got a job to do!” Gilda returned to her previous position, guiding Gallus’s hips like the last few seconds never even happened.

Despite the sudden energy boost from Gilda, Gallus had reached his limit. After one last orgasm was squeezed out of him, he managed to pry himself free of the two.

“Just...just gimmie a sec…” He said, sitting himself down on the floor. “I gotta...gotta...” As soon as Gallus closed his eyes, he fell backwards, lying unconscious on the floor.

“Aw, poor guy,” Gilda said, looking down on him. “A shame we didn’t get to the afterglow stuff.”

“Ah wouldn’t worry. That was one of the most satisfying things Ah’ve ever done in a loooong while.” Applejack chuckled, stretching her hooves out.

“Gotta say, he had a lot more stamina than I expected.”

“Heh, Ah think that he only got as far as he did cause of your help.”

“You’re really something else though. Most girls would love a guy that lasts even half as long as he did.”

“Well, you’re not so bad yourself. You definitely made things more exciting, what with all your advice on how to please a mare and all. Dunno where you learned all of it, but hey, it worked!”

“Yeah, well, don’t expect an encore any time soon. Can’t afford to keep going back and forth between here and Griffonstone just for this.”

The two exchanged looks. After a moment of silence, the absurdity of their conversation had finally set in, and they started laughing.

Gilda picked Gallus up. “Well, we should probably get him back to his room to rest.”

“Ah’ll take care of that. You can go off and catch up with Rainbow Dash some more, if ya want,” Applejack said, gesturing towards the door. “She should be back home by now.”

Gilda tilted her head to the side. “You sure you don’t want me to carry him? Pretty sure the last few hours took more out of you than it did for me.”

“Ah’ll be fine. These hooves have been through plenty.”

“Suit yourself.” Gilda put Gallus on Applejack’s back, his limbs dangling down her sides. With a wave goodbye, she left to find Rainbow Dash.

After making sure that the unconscious Gallus was balanced, Applejack started the walk to Gallus’s room. Luckily, with it being so late, the school’s halls were vacant.

Partway through the trip, Applejack felt Gallus stirring on her back.

“Nnngh...huh? W-where am I?” Gallus mumbled, rubbing his eyes.

“Heh heh, glad to see you’re awake,” Applejack smirked.

As Gallus’s vision came into focus, he finally recognized the familiar form that he was currently riding on. “H-How long was I out?”

“Only a few minutes. Can ya walk?”

Gallus carefully pressed his paw down against the floor, only for his leg to immediately tremble with the slightest bit of pressure. “Yeah, I don’t think so...”

“No problem, just gonna drop ya off at yer room,” Applejack nodded as she continued to walk. Though with Gallus now awake, Applejack’s pace slowed down considerably.

“...Ya know, it was real sweet for you to ask Gilda for help.”

“Was it? It felt more like it was real exhausting to me…”

Applejack chuckled to herself. “Well, Ah dunno much about griffons, but you and her must be awfully close.”

“I guess…” Gallus said with a half-hearted shrug. “She’s the closest thing I have to…” Gallus trailed off, looking off to the side.

“...Closest thing, huh?”

The rest of the walk was carried out in silence, and the two eventually made it to Gallus’s room. Applejack helped Gallus climb into his bunk bed.

Just before Applejack left the room, Gallus spoke up. “Uh...Applejack?”

“Yeah, Gallus?”

“I’ve...pretty much finished all my homework, so if you needed help catching up with all your farmwork...I could come over and help, if you wanted,” he said, nearly fumbling over the words.

Applejack smiled. “...Ah’d be delighted to have ya around.”
