Apple Bloom burst through the doors of the Sweet Apple Titan Family Household, all but ripping the door off its hinges. She ran inside, her eyes filled with tears of embarrassment and guilt as she all but flew inside of the house. She bit her lip, keeping the cries within her from coming out as she began looking around the house. There was no sign of her parents, or Applejack, Big Mac, or even their four other sisters. Walking into the family room, she caught sight of Granny Smith quietly snoring in her rocking chair. A wave of relief washed over Apple Bloom upon seeing her grandmother’s sleeping state and the absence of the rest of her family. She really did not want them to see her in the state she was in right now. Even more so after the stunt that she had pulled back at the pond.

With a whimper, Apple Bloom galloped up the stairs to her room, faintly hearing the sound of Granny Smith’s sharp snoring. Once she was upstairs, she made a beeline towards her room door, smashing it open before forcibly slamming it shut behind her. Now on the edge of breaking down, she ran up to her bed and jumped on it, burying her face into her pillows. Apple Bloom then proceeded to scream, cry, and beat at her bedsheets, letting out all that she was currently holding in. Since the door was closed, and it was only Granny Smith in the house, she didn’t have any worries about being heard wailing like a newborn. It didn’t mean that she didn’t feel like utter shit though, and for good reason.

‘Damn it… damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!’ She thought repeatedly, biting into a piece of her pillow. ‘W-what the hell did Ah just do back there?! Ah can’t believe Ah just kissed Nocturnus of all ponies! Even worse, Ah did it right in front of Scootaloo! Fuckin’ Scootaloo Nocturnus’s Gaia forsaken fillyfriend fer fuck’s sake! Oooooh, why did Ah have t’ go an’ pull that stunt?! Why dammit?! Why?!’

After another minute and a half of muffled screams and curses, Apple Bloom finally tuckered out and just lay sprawled onto the bed. She laid like that for some time, not knowing how long exactly but not really caring. Eventually, she rolled over onto her back, staring at the roof of her bed as her half-lidded eyes still stung with tears. A loud groan escaped her, and she covered her face in her forehooves, her hindlegs flailing as her tail whipped about. Apple Bloom beat at the bed a couple more times, feeling the urge to scream again, but found herself deflating as she panted, shutting her eyes tight. She didn’t have any idea how long she laid there but knew that it wasn’t that long, and it would eventually be shattered by the inevitable confrontation.

As if on cue, Apple Bloom heart a knock on the door that made her heart ram harder with each one that came. She didn’t respond, for she was trying to keep herself from shouting at who she knew was behind the door to go away. There was no way they would, not after what had happened, and not after what she had done. Apple Bloom knew that they had to somehow resolve it here and now, but that didn’t mean she wasn’t afraid of how it would go.

“A-Apple Bloom?” Scootaloo’s soft and timid voice asked from behind the door. “A-are you in there? I-if you are, c-can we come in?”

“Y-yeah, w-we need to talk,” Nocturnus replied, sounding even more nervous than his fillyfriend. “It’s about what happened at the pool.”

Apple Bloom inhaled and exhaled deeply, whimpering quietly as her cheeks burned as pink as the boe in her mane. “Y-yeah, Ah’m here… y-y’all can come in.”

The door slowly opened not even a second after that was said, and Scootaloo and Nocturnus all but rushed inside, closing the door behind them. Both their heads were low, their manes shadowing their eyes as they slowly trudged towards Apple Bloom. The farm filly watched as they crawled onto her bed and sat in front of her, waiting a few moments before they both locked eyes with her. Another uncomfortable stretch of silence washed over Apple Bloom’s room as the trio awkwardly say where they were, none of them knowing what to say. Eventually, Apple Bloom broke it, unable to take the tension anymore.

“A-Ah’m sorry.” She said, wasting no time in getting to the point.

Scootaloo looked up at her friend. “W-what?”

“A-Ah’m sorry that Ah k-kissed Nocturnus.” Apple Bloom said, fighting back a sniffle. “A-Ah don’t know what the Tartarus Ah was thinkin’. A-Ah j-just w-wanted to git the b-ball away f-from Nocturnus a-and h-hit my score t-that Ah…A-Ah…” She looked into Scootaloo’s single eye, her own eyes glazing over. “Ah’m so, so sorry Scootaloo! Please don’t be mad at me!”

“Apple Bloom no!” Scootaloo cried, rushing over and enveloping Apple Bloom in a hug. “I’m not mad at you at all! I swear I’m not…I know it was an accident. Me and Nocturnus both know.”

“Yeah, even though I was really taken off guard, I know that it was just in the heat of the, um… event,” Nocturnus added gently, crawling over to both fillies and wrapping a wing around Apple Bloom. “It’s alright, we understand what really happened, so you don’t need to be sorry about anything.”

Apple Bloom pulled her face out of Scootaloo’s chest, her voice muffled as she asked, “Ah…A-Ah don’t?”

“No, you don’t,” Scootaloo said, planting a tender kiss on Apple Bloom’s forehead. “In fact, we should be sorry. Y-you know, for getting so, um… c-carried away with the game.”

“She’s right.” Nocturnus nodded, patting Apple Bloom on the head. “We’re both sorry for being so, so, um…well, you know what we-”

“No, no, it’s alright, Ah ain’t mad at y’all.” Apple Bloom said, hugging both her friends as she nuzzled both of their cheeks. “Yer both right, it was just an accident…a really awkward, really embarassin’, and really…unexpected accident. It ain’t somethin’ that we need t’ git so upset about…a-an’, Ah’m sorry Ah ran off like that.”

“It’s okay…it’s okay.” Scootaloo cooed, stroking Apple Bloom’s mane. “We honestly would’ve done the same thing if we were in your position, so it’s all good.”

Apple Bloom smiled in comfort, nuzzling into Scootaloo’s fluffy chest as she and Nocturnus held the earth pony filly in their arms. The duo smiled back, nuzzling the top of Apple Bloom’s head as they pulled her closer into them. Any tension that was in the room from however long prior was soon gone as the three friends just snuggled into each other. They would’ve remained that way, had it not been for Scootaloo asking for a particular question that threw Apple Bloom and Nocturnus for a loop.

“Did you like it?”

Apple Bloom blinked, slowly pulling away from Scootaloo as she asked, “What?”

“Did you like it?” Scootaloo asked, rubbing one of her forelegs. “Y-you know…t-the, um…”

“The kiss.” Nocturnus finished, looking just as bashful. “You know? When we accidentally touched lips?”

“D-did Ah like the kiss?!” Apple Bloom squeaked, her face going red again. “W-why would ya ask me somethin’ like that?!”

“W-well… you were laying on my coltfriend for some time. A-and you didn’t really move off of him or anything.” Scootaloo replied, looking away. “You were literally on top of him for a whole minute in your um…l-lip lock.”

Apple Bloom’s jaw dropped. “A whole minute?!” She cried, looking in between the two lovers as they both nodded. It was no wonder they locked a bit less shocked than they expected them to after she broke away from Nocturnus. “W-well…w-why didn’t ya git me off?!”

“I-I don’t know… I don’t know what kept me from doing it,” Scootaloo replied shamefully. “I... I guess some little part of me, um… liked seeing another filly miss my coltfriend.”

This time, both Nocturnus and Apple Bloom stared slack-jawed at Scootaloo.

“You…y-you liked watching me kiss Apple Bloom?!” Nocturnus shouted, keeping his voice down so he wouldn’t wake Granny Smith. “Is… i-is that why you were blushing so hard from earlier?!”

Scootaloo nodded, poking her forehooves together. “S-seeing you l-laying back w-while A-Apple Bloom laid on top of you… a-and just…let her lips lock onto yours. I-it… it was really, really…” She looked at her coltfriend and Apple Bloom with a bright pink face. “…hot.”

Apple Bloom flinched, her face turning a bit redder as she shrunk back a bit from the now perversely smiling Scootaloo. “It…i-it was?”

“I, um…I have to admit. I really did like how your lips felt against mind Apple Bloom.” Nocturnus admitted. “I could literally taste the flavor of apples on your lips. Is it some kind of, um… lipstick that you were sometimes?”

“Uh, n-no, it ain’t.” Apple Bloom replied shyly. “Ah just really like to eat anythin’ that’s apple-related, nothin’ more.” A smile came to her face as she twiddled with the ends of her boe. “But, A-Ah’m glad that ya…l-like how Ah tasted w-when ya, u-um…kissed me.”

“Uh-huh,” Nocturnus replied, fondling with his hat. “You really were…”

Another stretch of quietness enveloped the atmosphere the three teen foals were in before Scootaloo broke it. “D-do you, um…do you want to do it again?”

“Do what again?” Apple Bloom asked with a blink, her confusion setting in for just a moment before it clicked. “Wait, you mean…kiss Nocturnus again?”

“Y-yes…do you want to kiss him again?” Scootaloo asked tentatively, smiling at her friend. “I don’t mind if you do.”

“W-whoa…whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!” Apple Bloom backpedaled as she held her hooves out. “Are ya serious?! A-Ah can’t do that Scootaloo! Nocturnus is your coltfriend, not mine! Yer the one who should be kissin’ him, not me!”

“I-I know that, but…l-like I said, you did seem to be pretty into it when it happened, even if it was accidental.” Scootaloo murmured, pawing at Apple Bloom’s bedsheets. “And besides… I know that you’ve had your eyes on Nocturnus for a while anyway.”

Nocturnus flinched, cringing at what his fillyfriend had said. ‘Oh boy…’

“Uh, w-what?” Apple Bloom paled. “W-what’re ya talkin’ ‘bout? A-Ah wasn’t eyin’ Nocturnus! A-Ah wasn’t even lookin’ anywhere near his c-crotch area, even when it was erect!”

“TMI Apple Bloom.” Nocturnus murmured with a sweatdrop. “TMI…”

“You don’t need to lie to me, Apple Bloom. I’m not gonna criticize you,” Scootaloo said gently, motioning closer to the nervous farm filly. “I’ve been watching you ever since Nocturnus and I had gotten together, and not just you. You did your best to hide it, but I was able to read you like a book; you didn’t even need to say anything.” She smiled softly as she leaned in close to Apple Bloom’s ear. “Every chance you got, you looked at Nocturnus very closely. Taking in every single inch of him. From his long luscious black and blue mane to his adorable kitty blue eyes, his large rippling clawed wings, and his twitching muscles. There were even a couple of times where you were staring at his balls, and I know you were wondering how big he was.”

Apple Bloom gulped, looking in between Scootaloo and Nocturnus, the latter of which was looking just as embarrassed as Apple Bloom. “Ah… Ah… uuuuh… Ah w-w-was…”

“Thinking of taking my little Nocty for a ride~?” Scootaloo breathed sultrily, her breath gently hitting Apple Bloom’s left ear. “That’s what you were thinking every time, even after your first heat, weren’t you~?”

Apple Bloom squeaked, lowering her head as her forehooves came to cover it. She didn’t even try to deny it, for she knew what Scootaloo was saying was the truth. Apple Bloom was having dirty thoughts about Nocturnus before and after she was going into her first estrus. Just like Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, and just about every other filly in Ponyville Middle School, they all thought that Nocturnus was incredibly cute and sexy. Even though he was a bat pony, he was still very alluring, and somehow, his heritage made him that much more irresistible. It didn’t help that he had an unusually large cock that could leave every single filly looking like a massive beanbag if he wanted. If Apple Bloom was being entirely honest with herself, she really wanted to experience what it was like to mate with a bat pony of all equines. With a cock as big as Nocturnus’s, she could only imagine how much she’d be limping if he did her just like he did Scootaloo. That is if Scootaloo even allowed him to do something like that, which, at the time, she had every reason to believe would not happen.

Now, it looked like things were going to take an unexpected and, hopefully, raunchy, turn.

“We know that you have Apple Bloom,” Nocturnus replied before Apple Bloom could. “I may be a colt, but I’m not like most colts. I am nowhere near as oblivious as many others. I can see certain things that they can’t. And you staring at me like you wanna jump on top of me and ride me like a bull for way more than eight secondswas the most obvious signs that you could’ve given.”

“Ah was really that obvious, huh?” Apple Bloom asked as Scootaloo giggled. “A-an’… yer not mad?”

“Why would we be mad?” Scootaloo asked tilting her head. “If anything, we’re relieved that you’ve shown your attraction to us…well, mainly to Sheton.”

“You are?” Apple Bloom asked, blinking in surprise. “Why?”

“Well…” Nocturnus began apprehensively. “We haven’t told the others about this, but… m-me and Scootaloo have been thinking of making our relationship more, um…open.”

“Open?” A split second later, Apple Bloom gasped and leaned in. “Wait, y’all wanna have an open relationship?!”

“Yes, we do.” Scootaloo nodded, smiling shyly. “We’ve had this thought for a while now, t-though I was the one who came up with it. W-we’ve been wondering what I’d be like to have more than one filly with us… a-and what it’d like to see Nocturnus… f-fuck another filly, especially one that’s attracted to him, and loves him like how I do.”

“Really?” Apple Bloom asked, slowly calming down. “Even when y’all got together?”

“For most of the past couple of months, yes,” Scootaloo admitted, licking her lips. “I-I know I’m not gonna be the only filly Nocturnus will be drawn to, and it won’t just be me who’s attracted to or has feelings for him either. I… I-I want to let Nocturnus have the chance to have more than one filly, b-besides me, a-and any filly that cares for him to have a piece of him too.” She looked back up at Apple Bloom with a gentle smile. “And it looks like we’ve gotten that chance finally.”

Apple Bloom’s pupils slowly contracted. “W-wait a minute…s-so…y-yer sayin’…y’all want me to…t-to…”

“Yes, Apple Bloom,” Nocturnus replied softly, with a hopeful smile. “We, um…w-we want you to be a part of our…h-h-harem. If you want to be that is…”

“R-r-really…?” Apple Bloom asked, her lower lip trembling. “Y’all…r-really want me to get together with y’all?”

“We wouldn’t be asking if we weren’t sure, nor if you didn’t care about Nocturnus with all the honesty within you.” Scootaloo giggled, cupping Apple Bloom’s cheek. “So… what do you say, Apple Bloom? Do you want to be part of our little herd and be able to cuddle and fuck my little Nocty anytime you’d like?”

“Granted, that’s not all we’ll be doing…” Nocturnus pointed out. “…but you get the picture.”

Apple Bloom was at a complete loss for words, her eyes focused on both of her friends as she tried to think of anything to say. Her heart was beating quickly against her chest as she thought over just what she was going to get herself into. It was true, she had been attracted to Nocturnus and not just in a sexual way, even when he and Scootaloo became a couple. She didn’t really notice it at first since it wasn’t really there in the first place. When she began to go through her bodily development, however, that’s when they began to surface. Slowly, but surely, they did, until they nearly became the forefront of Apple Bloom’s mind almost every time that she saw her two friends so intimate.

She was not jealous in any way, but she did envy how they seemed to be all over each other, regardless of whether they were alone or not. Apple Bloom longed for something like that, something that none of the other colts could make her feel because she wasn’t even remotely attracted to them. Soon Apple Bloom began to feel that she wouldn’t have the chance to gain that and started to accept that having a deep seat of love for Nocturnus was the closest thing she’d have to be with him. Now though, as she sat with her friends on her bed at that moment, listening to their suggestion of her forming a herd with them, those feelings came back. Flaring so strongly it made her feel as if somepony had set the fires of passion in her tiny little heart.

“S-Scootaloo… Nocturnus… A-Ah don’t know what t’ say.” Apple Bloom said, sniffling as her eyes grew watery with tears. “Ah… Ah never thought that… y-y’all would even think of… d-doin’ somethin’ like this.”

“Yeah well, you never really expect anypony usually do something like this. Let alone a filly allowing one of her best friends to fuck her coltfriend and get off scot-free.” Nocturnus shrugged, ruffling his feathered bat wings. “Besides, as the old saying goes… it’s always the quiet ones~.”

Scootaloo snorted, giggling loudly as she playfully swatted Nocturnus with one of her wings. After she calmed down, she looked over at Apple Bloom and asked, “So Apple Bloom, is it a yes?”

Apple Bloom said nothing, too focused on trying not to cry and cheer at the same time as happiness bubbled within her chest. With a sharp inhale, she threw herself at the duo and snuggled her face into their shoulders, finally letting her tears flow. This was all the answer that Scootaloo and Nocturnus needed, and they once again embraced their friend, although for an entirely different reason. They let Apple Bloom let her tears out for a little while longer before she eventually calmed down and pulled away.

“Y… yeah… Ah… A-Ah’d love t’ be apart o’ yer herd you guys!” She replied, her quivering lips forming into a smile. “T-thank you…thank the both o’ y’all!”

“There’s no need for thanks, Apple Bloom. We just want our friends to be happy by any means; which includes you too,” Scootaloo said tenderly, pecking Apple Bloom on her cheek. “Don’t worry Apple Boom, we’ll take good care of you. We promise.”

“Ah…A-Ah know ya will.” Apple Bloom nodded, wiping at her eyes. “A-and Ah promise Ah’ll be th’ best fillyfriend y’all will have. Ah swear! From the bottom o’ mah heart as a Sweet Apple Titan!”

“We know you will Apple Bloom, we both do. Something tells me we’re going to be having a lot of fun together.” Nocturnus said soothingly, his eyes becoming half-lidded as be leaned in close to her. “Now… about that kiss~.”

Author's Note

Sorry that this took so long, life was biting me in the but and I was having trouble on how I should write the second half of the chapter, let alone end on it, it was crazy! In the end, I managed to get that jumbling mess that was in my head back into place as I was writing this, and get it well organized. Also, before any of you ask, yes, this is going to be a little harem formation fic, something that I've gone through a lot of thought doing, and something I know a lot of you will enjoy. I may have some of the OCs and brand new fillies introduced in Season 7 be apart of it, but I'll have to think on that before I make my final conclusion. For now, let's enjoy the hot, raunchy, and downright adorable harem formation of this AU version of the Cutie Mark Crusaders and their sweet little supernatural bat pony coltfriend!!!

Well, that's all for now; next time, we'll be seeing Apple Bloom have one hell of a sexy bull ride with Apple Bloom herself, with Scootaloo as their spectator.
