Stallions and Hens

“Soooo…” The gray Abyssinian in a black hoodie and jeans blinked his green eyes at the list. “Anything else I should take care of, I could hire a cleaning company to clean the carpets.”

“Good luck with that,” CC quipped. “I think some of those stains are there to stay.”

“We will have to see about that.” Pippen nodded, folding the list in half. “And you’re leaving, tomorrow, later today?”

“Something like that, so that we can get there in time to enjoy the nice weather at the beach,” CC agreed. “Plus it’ll give the chance for us to meet someone else.”

“Cool cool, well have a good time.” The cat smiled and headed for the door. “For now, it’s date night and I need to go get some groceries for dinner. Have a good one.” He waved and left.

“You have fun with that,” the stallion called. Hmm. Everything had been organized the night before, into the things they were taking and the things they didn’t need. It was just a matter of packing them into the vehicles...which is what they were doing now, before they’d been reminded that somebody would need to house-sit while they were away.

Gilda came in, clad in her leather jacket over a blue t-shirt and jeans. “I think we got everybody squared away. Spike, Twilight, and Gabs are riding with Flutters and Snow. That means we get to go with Dash and Cloudy. We get the house-watching out of the way?”

“Yeah, our neighbor across the street is helping us with that,” CC informed the griffon. “He’s gonna try to clean up our house a little while we’re away as well.”

“HA!” Gilda barked a laugh. “Good-fucking-luck.”

“That’s what I said!” CC agreed. “I think the couch is a lost cause.”

“And we come home to all new furniture.” Gilda snorted. “You ready? Need anything else?”

“I think most of it’s packed,” CC thought for a moment. “Yeah, the only thing I have yet to pack is my setup in case of bad weather so that we’re not all bored.”

“Well let’s grab a backpack or two.” Gilda waved a talon at the TV set up.

“No, the laptop,” CC clarified. He went and grabbed a nearby bag, before packing the laptop and everything connected to it into the bag carefully. “Don’t want it to shift in transit,” he explained. “I thiiiiink…” He looked around, not seeing a cord anywhere that he missed. “Yeah, that’s everything.”

“Yay. Into the car we go.” Gilda chuckled, gesturing at the front door.

“Alright, alright,” CC huffed. “Keep your shirt on, I know where we’re going after all.”

“Your grandparent’s summer home or something, right?” The hen wandered over to the door.

“Yeah, they have a villa on the beach, it’s big enough to host a small party at,” CC agreed. “We should all fit.” He ran the mental calculations. “Though, some of us may have to sleep on the couch…”

“I don’t think any of us will mind.” Gilda shook her head. “Even if it’s couples.”

“Fair point,” CC shrugged, heading out the door after Gilda. The car was in the driveway, packed already. “Okay, so…” He hummed. “Keys given to the neighbors, everything packed...I think we’re good to go.”

“To vacation.” Gilda cheered.

It was...a very long trip. Long rides in cars tended to be boring, for the most part at least. Gilda ended up snoozing not long into the ride. Dash and Cloudy seemed to be distracting each other via texting in the backseat, leaving CC to drive.

“Wonder how the others are doing,” he mused to himself, checking the rear-view mirror to be sure the other vehicle was still following him. Yup, there they were, a few cars back.

“I’m sure they’re fine.” Dash commented.

“Yeah, they’re perfectly capable of following a car,” Cloudy snarked. “Whether or not they can keep their hands to themselves is another matter.”

“Well they do have adults in the car.” Dash added, before glancing at CC. “Well, mature adults.”

“I’m probably lucky Gilda is asleep,” CC agreed. “And that Twilight is in the car with Spike and Gabby.”

“I was referring to Flutters and Snow.” Dash snickered. “Twilight seems kinda… socially awkward. Spike seems sweet though.”

“Yeah, I’m glad Gabby found someone that treats her right,” CC nodded once.

“For once, a normal relationship!” Cloudy cheered.

“Define, normal.” Dash raised a brow at her marefriend.

“One not like ours or the stud’s,” the other pegasus mare pointed out.

“There you go.” Dash nodded. “Snow and Flutters seem to be the most stable.”

“That they do,” CC agreed. “They are the rocks in this whole friendship of ours. Without them, we’d have fucked ourselves into a stupor ages ago.”

“At least, I’m trying to get Cloudy to pace herself.” Dash chuckled. “Trying being the key word.”

“Hey, go hard or go home,” Cloudy leered at Dash.

“Emphasis on go hard, you just love making me cum more than once.” Dash said dryly. “Even though it makes me dead to the word for hours afterwards.”

“Job well done, I’d say,” Cloudy nodded. “If I can’t make you unable to walk, I’m doing it wrong.”

“CC, I apologise for the horniness of my marefriend.” Dash rolled her eyes. “Unless you like hearing two chicks talk about sex in the car.”

“Hey, at this point, I’m just glad it’s not Gilda adding her two bits,” CC quipped. “Goodness knows I wouldn’t be able to drive if she was awake.”

“Hmmph- I’m adding what now?” Gilda snorted as she sat up properly and stretched.

“My marefriend is just teasing me about being a one and done.” Dash snorted.

“Uh huh. Kay.” Gilda said, still waking up.

“It’s adorable, hearing her moan and plea for me to stop after the first,” Cloudy taunted.

“And making me cum anyway.” Dash said flatly.

“Reminds me of… well, either of us when we’re particularly horny.” Gilda snorted, gesturing at CC.

“Difference is, you at least stop,” CC quipped. “Eventually.”

“Until you’re milked dry for the night, day, whenever.” Gilda chuckled.

“I just pass out and end up sore.” Dash shrugged.

“Aww, but you always wake up to me cuddling you,” Cloudy replied. “It’d be rude otherwise.”

“You have a point there.” Dash admitted, nodding at her.

“Why can’t we be nearly as cute?” CC asked of Gilda, without taking his eyes off the road.

“Fuck you, we’re adorable.” Gilda pointed at him.

“No, we’re lewd enough that our neighbors are thinking of replacing our furniture,” CC quipped back.

“Eeesh… Point.” Gilda winced.

“And we just end up coming back to a whole new house.” Dash snorted.

“Would not put it past them,” CC muttered. “I mean, it probably smells fine to us, but I don’t want to imagine how it smells to a newbie.”

“Like those fucking nose blind commercials.” Gilda winced again. “Fuck.”

“Dash, make a note for us to invest in some air freshener when we get back,” CC called to the back seat.

“Noted.” Dash typed in her phone.

“That might actually come in handy.” Gilda nodded.

“Yeah, we’ve probably been needing it for a while,” the stallion admitted.

“And an air purifier.” Gilda added. “Just in case.”

“Noting that too.” Dash typed away.

“Some stain remover,” CC continued to think aloud. “Might help us save some furniture.”

“Mmmhmmm.” Dash hummed, nodding.

“Anything else we need to add to the list?” Gilda hummed in thought.

“Pregnancy tests,” CC teased.

“Ha ha.” Gilda rolled her eyes.

“Well it would have saved us a lot of trouble earlier if we’d used one of those,” CC countered

“Yeah, I know.” Gilda grumbled.

“It’s okay G, we all tend to get hit with the stupid stick from time to time.” Dash leaned forward and patted her shoulder.

“Thanks.” Gilda smiled at her.

“Then there are people like our old school’s sports team, who hit every branch on the way down the stupid tree,” CC noted aloud.

“Oh, don’t get me started.” Gilda face-taloned.

“This I have to hear,” Cloudy spoke up, leaning in to hear the story.

Meanwhile, in the van. Spike and Gabs were snoozing together. In the middle seat, sat Twilight, looking a little car sick from staring at her computer. Flutters was humming along to the radio as Snow was driving.

“You doing okay back there?” Snow asked, looking in the rear-view mirror.

“Urp- I’m okay.” Twilight said, looking queasy.

“Look out the front window.” Flutters suggested.

“I have some tums in the glove box.” Snow nodded at the passenger seat.

“I should be fine.” Twilight said, shaking her head.

“You sure?” Flutters asked, glancing back.

“I’m sure.” Twilight nodded. “It happens.”

“Okay.” Flutters nodded back.

“Lemme know if you need me to stop to vomit or something.” Snow said, keeping his eyes on the road.

“I’m fine.” Twilight groaned. “Sheesh, you remind me of my parents.”

“I’ll take that as a compliment.” Flutters smiled as TWilight looked back to the seat behind her.

“You know, I expected the two of them to be all over each other.” Twilight commented on the snoozing pair. “What with the whole, young, new couple get to meet each other in person.”

“I just think they’re cute together.” Flutters nodded.

“And here I am, just happy that they aren’t fucking each other senseless on the regular.” Snow chuckled.

“They seem more happy to just enjoy their time together.” Twilight turned back around, leaned into her seat and shut her eyes.

“As opposed to Gilda and CC, or Cloudy and… Just Cloudy actually.” Snow snorted.

“I never thought it’d be Dash having to keep up with a partner.” Flutters said with a hum.

“And, here we are,” CC said, stepping out of the vehicle to stretch his legs. After quite a drive, they’d finally arrived at his grandparent’s summer home. It was a nice villa with a beach view not far from the front door. Plenty of bedrooms and rooms in general. His grandparents had believed in guests and parties, and his parents had taken to upgrading it with more modern utilities when they were available. It was a family treasure, this place.

“Okay, so,” the stallion said after stretching all his limbs from sitting still too long. “We should pick bedrooms before we start unpacking, otherwise it’ll just be chaotic when we do get everything inside.”

“If there’s a basement bedroom, I’ll take it.” Twilight called out. “Then again, if there aren’t enough rooms in general, I could just sleep on a couch.”

“Wait a sec.” Snow held up a hand. “So, we have, Gilda and CC; Flutters and I; Dash and Cloudy; Spike and Gabs, and finally Twilight.” He listed off. “That means we need at least four bedrooms.”

“Well let’s go take a look then.” Gilda looked at CC.

“I know there’s four,” CC hummed. “More than that I forget about. But there’s quite a few entertainment rooms, and my parents put in televisions, cable, and internet when they got ahold of it.” He shrugged. “If anything, we’ll have a choice of couches to lounge on.”

“Oh internet…” Twilight said happily. “I hate using data.”

“I’ll need to dig the password for the router out of my laptop, but yeah,” CC nodded once. “So...let’s go look,” he said to Snow. “You can pick out what bedroom you want while we’re checking how many rooms there are.”

Spike and Gabs lay cuddled on top of their bed. They’d chosen a ground floor bedroom, it was on the small side. Small still being about as large as a one room apartment.

Even though the pair had spent the day together in the van, they were perfectly content to just lay together.

“Hey.” Gabs spoke up from her position as big spoon. (Even though she wasn’t anywhere near as big as Gilda, she was still taller than the wiry and lanky dragon.)

“Hmmm?” Spike hummed, happy to be held by the hen.

“This is gonna be fun.” Gabs nuzzled at one of his ear fins.

“Hey, we get to actually spend time together irl.” Spike replied. “So long as we’re together, whatever happens will be great.”
