A Delightful Change of Plans

A little over an hour has passed since you began Stellar Flare’s tour of Ponyville, which is why the two of you agreed a little break seemed more than appropriate. You suggested stopping for tea at the café. Stellar was more than happy with that idea.

It’s close to noon and the café is slowly filling up with lunch goers. You and Stellar found a nice bistro table out on the patio. There’s a view of several shops and off in the distance you can see the sprawling Ponyville Marketplace.

You sit back in your chair. A small pot of tea presides between your two mugs. The table has the usual condiments including a bottle of honey and dispensers with white sugar and natural or raw sugar. Your spoons are resting on their respective napkins and the table has a small glass vase with a sampling of colorful flowers.

“Mmm, this is a good blend of green tea.” Stellar Flare takes another sip from her mug. “Yes, very good.”

You smile, after taking another sip from your cup. “I’m glad you like it.”

“I never would have guessed a human would have such an appreciation for tea.” Stellar stirs her mug, while she gives you a happy look.

You look at her a little funny, then smile. “Are you kidding? Nothing is more soothing or invigorating than a nice cup of tea. And there are so many blends.” You take long sip from your cup. “Oh yeah. This café definitely gets their tea from Jasmine Leaf’s Tea Shop.”

Stellar Flare leans on her foreleg and gives you a nod. “Wow, tea savvy and familiar with your settings. You really do have a plan…don’t you?”

You chuckle a little self-consciously. “Like I said before, Stellar, I try to.”

“Well…” She speaks your name rather fondly. “You’ve done pretty good so far. Now, what should we do next? You’ve shown me quite a bit already.” She leans back in her chair. “Mmm, and this weather is divine. Say, why don’t we stop by the market?”

“Sure, that sounds like a plan. There’s so much you can find there. And you’re right. This is a gorgeous day. Even for autumn.”

“Oh my.” Stellar just stares at you for a moment. “You said, ‘autumn,’ and not ‘fall’. So many ponies never cease to dumb it down.”

“I know. Usually I have to dumb it down too. But…” You smile and tilt your head. “I thought you’d appreciate it. You speak so elegantly.”

Stellar takes another ginger sip of her tea, then nods. “It’s just good manners and proper etiquette.”

“Is that why you wear that lovely blue tie and those pearls?” You stare shamelessly across at her.

“Naturally. Besides, why can’t a mare look her best?”

You shrug your shoulders. “No reason. Besides, it does bring our your eyes and your mane. Oh, and so does that pale blue headband.”

“My, it’s been a while since anyone has graced me with such flattery.” She looks at you half lidded. “Haven’t I heard that some of you humans enjoy the company of ponies…namely mares?”

“Yeah.” You smile, then cast out a sigh. “Which is why I saw no harm in some flirting.”

“Flirting? Nothing more?” She looks at you a bit crestfallen.

“Well. Can you answer a question, if it’s not too nosy of me?”

“What question?” She looks at you with intrigued eyes.

“Why isn’t Sunburst’s father with you?” You sit back a little and hope that isn’t too personal a question.

“Ah, yes. I’m honestly surprised you didn’t ask sooner.” Stellar sighs and her ears droop. “I was actually hoping that thanks to your flirting, you weren’t even going to bother asking.”

“Oh. Then, I gather from your reaction.” You reach over and place a sympathetic hand on her hoof. “It’s not a pleasant subject?”

“No.” She shakes her head, then stares at your hand. Looking back at you, that fond smile returns to her lips and is mirrored in her eyes. “Let’s just say in a nutshell, he’s been gone for a while…a long while, and leave it at that.”

You nod and withdraw your hand. “Okay, that’s a good enough answer for me. Then, everything else is okay?” You give her an inquisitive glance.

“What? You mean the flirting and flattery?” She asks tilting her head.

“Yes.”

She nods. “Of course, I have no problem with it. Now, how about we go to the market and gather some things for…I don’t know, are you a fan of picnicking?”

“Yeah. It’s been a while since I last went on one.” You grin.

“Splendid. Why don’t we get everything we need for a picnic, maybe even some things we don’t need.” Stellar giggles and smiles again.

“I like it. Oh, I even know a great spot for a picnic.” You smile and give her a clever look.

“And just what do you mean by a ‘great spot?’ ” The intrigue is still in her eyes.

You lean front and rest your arms on the edge of the table. “One that’s nice and peaceful…and no crowds.”

“Perfect.” This time, Stellar places a hoof on your hand. “Forgive me if I seem a little forward, but meeting you has made this a very enjoyable day. I can’t wait to check out the market and then see this place you have in mind for our picnic.”

“Then, why don’t I settle our check so we can head out? Sound like a plan to you?” You grin shamelessly.

She closes her eyes and nods. “I couldn’t have planned it better myself.”

The two of you share a few chuckles. Then, you pick up the check and together, Stellar walks over to the cashier with you, while joyful smiles decorate your faces.

After showing Stellar around the Ponyville Marketplace, the two of you do as she suggested and gather everything you two can think of for a picnic. That included buying a basket to put everything in.

Once your business is complete in Ponyville, you lead Stellar Flare out of town and to a very nice and secluded area along the woods. It’s near one of the many beautiful creeks that flows through Equestria. The area is lush with green grassy fields along both sides of the water. There are patches of woods and beyond that a sprawling forest of countless trees. A few lone trees stand just behind the creek’s shallow banks.

Checking the area over, you nod. “This looks great. What do you think, Stellar?”

Stellar trots over to you and looks around. “Yes, this spot will do nicely.” Turing toward the creek, she lets out a long sigh. “You really did have a great spot in mind.”

You chuckle as you set down the picnic basket and spread the blanket near a lone maple tree. “Yes well, I know my way around the area, even outside of town.” You chuckle, as you finish with the blanket, then turn to Stellar. “Though, I never would have pegged you as a pony that’s into picnicking.”

She walks up to you and gives you a devilish smile. “I’m just full of surprises, aren’t I?” She giggles, while ensnaring the basket in the pale green glow of her magic.

You smile grandly. “You are indeed, my lady.”

Stellar smiles as she opens the basket and sets up two plates. “What would you like to start with first?”

“Why not just put a little bit of everything on the plates. That wheat bread looks delectable, and so does the cheese and the walnuts.” You pat the side of the basket.

“Okay. How about you slice some bread, and I’ll get the cheese and nuts ready?” She looks your way and smiles.

“Sure.” You reach into the basket and get the small loaf of bread and a knife. After slicing a few pieces, you look her way. “Did you want butter or jam or some of each?”

Stellar Flare giggles as she puts some cheese on each plate. Turning your way she replies, “Why don’t you do what you’ve been doing all day…and surprise me?”

You chuckle as you reach into the basket for the proper condiments. “All right, I will.”

* * * * * *

After enjoying a simple fare, the two of you pack up your picnic basket, and then sit there under the shade of the maple tree and bask in the gentle autumn breeze.

“Ah, that was tasty.” Stellar pats her belly and looks over at you.

“Yeah. I’m comfortably…oh what’s the word to use? Not ‘full’, but…” You shift your eyes and try to think of it.

“Do you mean ‘replete?’ ” Stellar asks.

“Yes.” You cheer. “That’s the word. Oh, Stellar, you’re such a breath of fresh air.” Your eyes widen. “Did I just say that?”

Stellar blushes as she places a hoof over her mouth. She bats her eyes at you and smiles. “You did. It’s been a while since someone made me blush like this.” She giggles nervously.

“Well, that’s a shame. I know we’ve only hung out for part of the day, but it’s been a lot of fun already.” You laugh a little. “I don’t know why, but I feel like I know you more than I actually do.”

She nods and shares in your laughter. “Then perhaps there really is such a thing as kindred spirits.”

“Yeah, maybe you’re right.” You smile at her and feeling emboldened, reach for her hoof. Gently you clasp it in your hand. A rush of exhilaration rolls up your back and that nervous feeling tickles your belly.

At first you aren’t sure what Stellar Flare is going to do, but then the look on her face tells you. She stares at you half-lidded and an affectionate smile curls up on her lips. “I feel giddy all the sudden. I don’t understand it.”

You rub your thumb along the velvety fur of her hoof. “Should I let go of you?”

“I didn’t say that. In fact, I’m rather enjoying this sensation.” She titters and tilts her head.

“Say, this is a crazy thought, but…you wouldn’t like to…I don’t know, cuddle or something re…” You’re cut off.

“Actually, I’d love to. I guess you really are one of those humans that enjoys the company of a mare.” Stellar slides closer to you.

Loosening your grip on her hoof, you give her a curious look. “What about you? Are you intrigued or repulsed at the idea of being with a human?”

She moves even closer to you. The gentle fragrance of her perfume trails into your nose. It has a sweet floral fragrance with an almost exotic quality. Her chartreuse eyes stare into your own. “Can I be honest with you?” She turns around and leans her back against you.

“Of course.” You feel a warm sensation along your back and arms now that she’s so close.

“Until today, I had no idea how I felt about humans. But, I am intrigued and very curious now.”

You rest your back along the firm trunk of the maple tree. Stellar Flare leans a little harder against you and places a hoof on your left hand. “Then cuddling would be a good place to start.”

She turns her head to look back at you. “I agree. That’s why I slid so close.” An affectionate smile forms on her face as Stellar leans against your chest, allowing you to rest your chin on the top of her fluffed mane.

Her coiffure is even silkier than you imagined. You sigh as you lock your arms around her. Your bare forearms brush against her furry belly. “This is nice. And…” You take a few sniffs. “I love that scent you’re wearing. What’s it called?”

She remains silent for a moment. “Oh, my perfume or as we call it in Sire’s Hallow, ‘essence’. This one in particular is called ‘Gardenia Essence.’ ”

You pull her closer against you. Stellar turns a little within your arms and rests her hooves on your shoulder. “It’s a very fitting…essence for you, Stellar.”

She sighs happily and whispers your name. “Aww, I’m glad you like it. And who knew my day would end up like this?”

“Yeah. Far better than it was going for a while.” You chuckle and turn to nuzzle your cheek along her mane. “I hope I don’t muss your mane too much.”

“Mmm.” She sighs. “I don’t care. This is very relaxing.”

“It’s heaven.”

“Ahh…I agree.” Stellar starts running her hoof along your forearm.

“Why are you doing that?” You look her way.

“Just adding to the moment. Should I stop?”

You shake your head and close your eyes. “No, it’s soothing.”

Stellar chuckles. “Then I made a wise choice. Ooh.” She shivers a little as you run your fingers through her hair. “Speaking of soothing.”

“So, you like that?”

“Yes.” Stellar turns in your arms to face you. “You wouldn’t…um?”

“What?” You tilt your head and give her a relaxed expression.

“Would you like to do something else…like maybe try a kiss? I don’t know?” She blushes a little and looks down.

You nod slowly. “Yeah, I’d like that.”

“You would?” You just nod again. “All right then.” Stellar looks into your eyes. Her cheeks are still rosy as she leans closer to you. She gasps softly as you secure your arms around her. Stellar places a hoof on your shoulder just as your lips meet.

Her lips press firmly against yours. They convey everything you’ve discovered about her. There’s a gentleness and very sweet quality to her kiss, as well as welcoming motion that flows with confidence. Keeping your arms around her, you push your lips back and start wrestling yours passionately with hers. You want to do the same as Stellar and convey all that you are and everything she knows about you in your kiss.

Part of you is unsure that this is even happening. The rational side of your mind says this is all wrong and way too soon, yet your heart, in all of its loneliness, says this is a thing of beauty.

Your mouths remain closed as the kiss continues just a little while longer. Then, your lips part. Her hoof remains on your shoulder and you keep your arms locked around her. “That was wonderful.” You smile and relish the invigorated feeling of warmth that spreads from your cheeks and strolls down your back, leaving you even more relaxed than you were before you started cuddling with her.

Stellar Flare places her free hoof along her cheek and continues to blush. “Yes, I’ve never kissed a human before.”

You run your fingers through her reddish mane and just keep staring into her eyes. “Well, I enjoyed every second.”

Her face softens and she gazes fondly at you. “So did I. Mmm, I’m glad we shared that.” She smiles.

“Same here.” You keep stroking her hair and the look in her eyes tells you she’s enjoying every sweep of your fingers. “Stellar…you have very pretty eyes.”

“I do?” She says your name and seems more than a little unsure.

“Yes…I can’t stop looking into them.”

She tilts her head and looks at you half-lidded. “You’re quite the romantic. Mmm, I like it.” Stellar sighs dreamily. “But where do we go from here?”

You caress her mane again. “I don’t know?”

A devilish smile creeps up onto her face. “Hmm, maybe we should mess around?”

“Hmm. If you want to?” You shrug your shoulders.

“I was just joking…but then again. Curiosity is really tempting me.” She bats her eyes at you. “Would it be so bad? I mean, I’ll show you mine if you show me yours?” Stellar’s eyes widen. “Was that as juvenile as it sounded?”

You run your thumb through a lock of her silky mane. “Maybe a little, but I still enjoyed how you said it.”

“Well then…shall we?” She lightly rubs her hoof along your chest.

“Uh…” You hesitate for a moment. “Are we moving too fast?

Stellar looks at you a little funny. “What?”

“Well, we did just meet this morning. But then again…I don’t know. I’d like to, but I’m a little rusty. It’s been a while since I was last with a mare.” You scratch the side of your neck.

She resumes pawing at you with her hoof. “Then, all the more reason to proceed. We’re both consenting adults, right? Besides, would you question being with an escort or somepony in a one-night stand?”

You place your hand on your chin and think for a moment. “True. But, would this be nothing but a fling then?”

“Perhaps. I mean, would it be such a bad thing to enjoy each other’s company? And is it wrong to bring each other some happiness and make what was a bad day into a very pleasant one? And who knows beyond that?” She gives you a sincere and earnest look, while just leaving her hoof rest on your chest.

You look into her eyes and smile. “That look in your eyes…I don’t see a hint of doubt in them. And, you did say we’re consenting adults, right?”

“You know I did.”

Your smile grows. “Then what the hay? Let’s live a little.”

“My thought’s exactly. Here. I’ll go first.” She turns and looks up at you. “Uh, you’ll have to let me go first.”

“Oh.” You snicker sheepishly and remove your arms from her. “Sorry. I was just enjoying holding you and got a little carried away.”

She smiles at you. “That’s quite all right. I was enjoying it too. Now then.” Stellar looks around and grins. “This area really is ideal for this. Okay, I know.” She lies partially on her side and sweeps her tail across the blanket and out of the way. Adjusting her hind legs, Stellar gives you a nice view of her crescent. “There, how’s that?”

It’s been a while since you last laid eyes on a pony’s marehood. Well, unless you count the ones that were just an accidental glance in passing. That’s why you’re just staring at Stellar’s lovely curves. “Ooh, that’s a nice position you’re in…and I definitely like what I see…very lovely.”

Stellar blushes deeply and gives you silly eyes, which only makes her both cuter and lovelier. She looks your way and smiles. “You chose your words with such finesse. Oh, you can go ahead and touch me…I don’t mind.” There’s a strong longing in her voice.

“Oh, in that case.” You speak softly, sliding just a little closer to her. The subtle off-white coloring along the lower portion of her legs really adds to her beauty and waylays your hand on its way to her slit. Stellar shivers as you caress her left hind leg, from the pale portion up along the orange section, just shy of her cutie mark. “You have such lovely legs. I couldn’t resist.” You catch her eye and smile as you continue touching her leg.

“No, that’s quite all right. Ooh, those odd hooves…no…oh what do you humans call them?” She asks in almost a shivering sigh.

“You mean my fingers?” You hold up your free hand and wiggle your digits.

“Yes. Fingers. They feel so soft and delicate along my fur. It took me a little by surprise.” Stellar’s leg twitches a little from the sweep of your hand.

“Oh, really? Well then, I’d better move on.” You snicker with anticipation and move from her leg over to her waiting curves. There, you lead with two fingers and simply make contact along her slit. Slowly, you slide them up and down, up and down again.

“Ahh, mmm…that feels so nice.” Stellar sighs, then giggles as you stroke your fingers along her slightly protruding nub.

“Sorry about that.”

“No, I like the sensation. Please, don’t stop.” She speaks in a silky voice.

“Of course.” You lightly knead your fingers along her clit and notice it swell under your ministrations. Her folds part a little and some of her arousal runs onto your digits. “Am I really turning you on?”

She nods bashfully and places a hoof over her face. “Yes. I forgot how long it’s been since I’ve felt another’s touch. Ahh…and this is so pleasant.”

You urge her to remove her hoof with your free hand. “Well then, don’t be ashamed. Enjoy it…here.” You trace your fingers around her marehood and pause each time you return to her clit. “Would you like me to keep going?”

Stellar shakes her head. “No, I mean, I’d like you to continue, but, before you get me too excited…” She pauses and gives you another of her very fond looks. “I’d like to see yours.”

“Oh, right.” You smile and nod, while removing your fingers. You get on your knees and slide along the picnic blanket a little closer to her. “All right. You ready?” She nods. Slowly, you lower your zipper, then unbutton your pants. You push them down a tad, then tug your underwear to the side. Your manhood springs free and stands there at attention for Stellar to see. “There.”

Stellar rolls onto her belly and sits up. Fascination grips her face as she inches herself closer to you. “Wow. This is what a male human’s genitalia looks like?” Her chartreuse eyes turn to you and then back to your firm member.

“Yes…is it okay?”

“Okay? My.” Stellar continues to look at you. “It’s so rounded and smooth compared to a stallion’s.” She closes her eyes for a moment. “I bet it would feel wonderful inside.”

The warmth returns to your cheeks and rolls up and down your back. This sense of exhilaration is something you never tire of, especially in matters of romantic pleasure. Your anticipation grows, until you gasp. Glancing down, you see the off-white of Stellar’s hoof along your shaft. “Mmm, Stellar.”

“Oh, sorry, I didn’t ask first.”

You shake your head. “It’s fine…no, divine. Mmm, your hoof.”

The blush remains on her cheeks and the fascination remains on her face as she brushes her hoof along you. You moan faintly and sigh softly from her touch.

“Very sensitive I see. But on average, how long can you last?” Stellar stops a moment and looks at you very curiously.

“On a bad day less than fifteen minutes.” You place hand to your chin. “Yeah.”

“And on a good day?” Her interest grows.

“At least twenty minutes, and if I pace myself I can last well over half an hour…I’ve managed to hold out for an hour all ready. Of course I’m a bit rusty with a partner.” You run a nervous hand behind your head.

“H-h-h-h-h-half an hour?” Stellar blinks, almost like she’s seen a ghost. “Really?”

You chuckle at her reaction. “Oh yes. It’s not too hard as long as I edge properly and like I said, pace myself.” You smile contently and pat her shoulder.

“Wow. The last stallion I was with could barely last ten minutes…” Stellar sighs. “And that was on a good day.” She closes her eyes and her ears droop. “And I have to be super horny if I’m to get off in at least ten minutes.” Then she perks back up. “But even if you could last twenty minutes.” Stellar grins.

You give her your best seductive look. “You aren’t suggesting, you’d like to give it a try, are you?”

She leans your way and places an affectionate hoof on your shoulder. Her eyes are all but glistening. “Oh, would it be too crazy if we did?” Stellar pulls back and gives you a rather shy and bashful look. “It’s really been a while…oh.” She closes her eyes and moans in a really frustrated manner. “And just from you touching me…I’m really horny now.”

You slide over to her and place an arm around her, pulling her close. Her desire emboldens you as you kiss her lips. Then, running your fingers through her mane, you sigh. “You’ve got me so turned on right now.”

Stellar glances down at your manhood and smiles. “And I take it more than just physically?”

You nod. “Oh yeah.”

She slants her eyes and places a hoof to her chin. “Hmm. This place won’t do for an activity like that. We’re too exposed for anything beyond some playful petting.”

You pull her close again. “I know a place just over there. You see, by those bushes?” You point a short distance from where you two are sitting. “We’ll just take everything over there.”

Stellar leans against you and nuzzles your cheek. “Oh, that’s a wonderful idea. Let’s go.”

You chuckle as you two stand up. Securing your pants, you go to fold the blanket, but see that Stellar has used her magic to beat you to it. She floats it over to you so you can carry it. Giving her a dutiful salute, you tuck it under your left arm and secure the picnic basket with your right. She winks at you as you lead her over to the group of bushes, which lie some sixty yards away.

Walking behind the group of large bushes, you look at Stellar Flare. “Well, what do you think?”

“Yes. This is nice and secluded. A large grassy patch with bushes on three sides and trees a matter of feet beyond the only exposed side. I love it.”

“Great.” You set the basket down and spread out the blanket. Looking around, you nod. There is more than enough coverage from the bushes and they form a neat natural barrier. “There, all set, Stellar.”

She speaks your name and licks her lips. “Wonderful. I’m so glad you know the area. Now then, when was the last time you rutted a mare?”
