Stallions and Hens
018 - Scuppered plans and bonding
Previous ChapterNext ChapterGilda took a sip of her coffee as she stared out the window. She was in a comfy looking gray robe as she stood by the sliding glass door that led to the deck.
There was a flash. A few seconds later came a loud rumble of thunder.
It was raining.
Because of course it was.
“Well, beach fun is out.” Twilight commented from a large and plush couch.
“I might have jinxed it.” Spike commented from the other side of the couch as Gabs cuddled up against his side.
“Yes Chat. This is bullshit.” Dash commented as she stared at her phone. “It’s raining. What are we to do?” She deadpanned.
“Well this is the first time Gabby has met Spike, and we don’t know Twilight all that well either,” CC noted from the kitchen. “We could all bond over some movies or games. We have big screen TV’s in here. Give me five minutes to figure out how to broadcast to a television and we can be playing on the biggest screens.”
“You do that.” Gilda moved over to flop into a lay-z-boy. “I am not awake enough.”
“Well Flutters and Snow are still sleeping.” Gabs commented.
“So is Cloudy.” Dash added.
“So, bonding.” Spike nodded. “Yay.”
“What do you have in mind CC?” Twilight asked, looking up from the laptop in her lap.
“Well, we could have Gabby and Spike watching a film in one room, per her usual stream,” CC noted out loud. “Or an anime. Up to her what she wants to see. Just some innocent cuddling. And then in another room, we could set up a laptop to stream to a TV so everyone here can watch on the big screen what’s going on.” He came out with a pot of coffee and started pouring. “Thing is, we’d need a game everyone was interested in watching…”
“Sure.” Spike shrugged.
“Doesn’t sound that bad.” Gabs added.
“We could do some bonding over Super Smash Brothers.” Gilda spoke up.
“Or want to kill each other because of Mario Kart.” Dash added.
“Or find out how horrible we are to each other by playing Mario Party.” Twilight added as well.
“All very interesting ideas,” CC agreed. “Hmm. What to actually do, though…” He hummed for a moment in thought. “Oh, there’s an idea,” he chuckled. “We can play eight a match in Smash. So if we connect four controllers on our side, we can all play as one team...and then we can challenge Chat to put together a rival team.”
“That sounds like a mess.” Gilda swigged more coffee. “I love it.”
“And we’ll go do movie stuffs.” Gabs got up and tugged Spike up with her.
“So long as there’s more cuddling involved.” Spike chuckled as the pair started up the stairs to their room on the second floor.
“Whelp, they’ll be the wholesome, chill section of the house today,” CC predicted. “Hey Dash, go get my things from the room, I’ll set up the game after we’ve all been caffeinated enough to consider it.”
“Yup.” Dash got up and started up the stairs to get the things.
“So, I hope this isn’t offensive, but I kinda expected everyone to be sex crazed maniacs.” Twilight commented, looking at Gilda.
“Oh, you should see us fully caffeinated in front of a camera.” Gilda chuckled.
“Yeah, we’re not quite awake yet,” CC agreed. “Give us time to limber up, energy from the coffee, and five minutes when Snow and Fluttershy aren’t watching, and we’ll vanish to a soundproofed room to be a bad example to Spike and Gabby.”
“Ah, that I can believe.” Twilight nodded.
“Got things.” Dash said as she returned with what looked like a pile of cables in her arms.
“Ah, I’ll need to untangle those, but if you could put it down gently on the table, I’ll get to that,” the stallion noted. He sipped on his coffee as he started trying to think about how to do the whole process. Hmm, that cable went around, over...was there a knot in there somewhere?
Dash knelt over and set the pile down and started to help CC organize things. After about five minutes they’d worked out the worst of the snares and the cables were all lined up next to each other on the floor.
“There we are,” the stallion sighed, knocking back some more coffee after that. “Okay then. I’ll plug everything in and get to work on getting it streaming in a minute here.”
“Cool.” Dash wandered into the kitchen to get a coffee cup and came back to pour herself a cup from the pot that CC set on the coffee table.
“Anybody make breakfast?” Twilight asked out of the blue.
There was silence.
“And Spike already went upstairs.” Twilight sighed.
“I got it.” Gilda got up. “I won’t be great, but it’ll be something at least.” She stretched before plodding into the kitchen. “Eggs, bacon, and toast.” She added, looking into the fridge.
“I think we’ve got some instant hash brown patties you can throw in the toaster oven to bake for those that want it,” CC noted. “In case you feel like diversifying a little.”
“Why not, potatoes are good.” Gilda added as she started pulling things out for food making.
“And now I’m hungry.” Dash commented.
“Working on it.” Gilda said.
“I’ll wire up our entertainment for the day while you do that,” CC agreed. “And then finagle it so that Chat can see it or challenge us.”
“I can help with the chat bit.” Twilight said, typing at her laptop.
Dash got up and went to the kitchen to help with breakfast.
Thirty minutes later, the game was set up, breakfast had been had by all, and the participants were holding controllers.
“Alright Chat, so this is going to be two separate things,” CC said to the nearest camera. “First, me and the girls here are going to just fight each other, see where we all stand comparatively. Couple rounds of that. Then, we’ll open up a lobby and those of you who think you can take us all on, form your own four-man teams and we’ll fight you.”
“So who’s taking who?” Gilda asked.
“I like Robin.” Twilight said.
“Lucario’s gimmick appeals to me,” CC spoke up next. “It’s a fine line to walk, but the more you beat up on him, the stronger he gets.”
“Ganon.” Gilda chuckled.
“Captain Falcon.” Rainbow smirked at Gilda.
“Fuck you.” Gilda glared at the pegasi.
“Oh dear,” CC chuckled. “Well, the two of you are gonna need to see who has the stronger punch.” He grabbed a controller and started setting it up. “Don’t forget to put a name over your head so the Chat isn’t confused who’s who.”
“Birb.” Gilda grunted.
“Me.” Dash said after Gilda put in her name.
“Nerd… I guess.” Twilight shrugged.
“And I’ll be Dork,” CC smirked. “Okay. And let’s...see how this goes.”
Gabs and Spike laid together, cuddled on their sizable bed. The pair had set up the laptop in front of the bed, with a cable linked up to the TV to show what they were watching.
What were they watching? Overlord.
The pair were binging Isekai anime, they were starting with Overlord, and were going to move on to The Devil is a Part-Timer after that for a change in genre.
Spike was in a white t-shirt and black sweat shorts, and was laying on his back. Gabs was just in a large t-shirt and was curled up against his side.
“So are we just going to do season one?” Spike asked.
“Well if you want to.” Gabs shrugged. “There’s three seasons.”
“We can start with the first one.” Spike nodded.
“For us it’ll pretty much just be watching anime, but for chat, they just want to see us cuddle.” Gabs giggled.
“Fucking degenerates.” Spike snorted. “Next they’ll want us to hold hands.”
“Oh how lewd.” Gabs gasped.
“Well… We could do something that’s actually lewd.” Spike smirked, sticking his tongue out at her.
She leaned up and kissed his nose. “Mmmmm, maybe later?” She asked. “The rain’s so relaxing and I just wanna spend time with you in a not sexy way. Does that make sense?”
The dragon smiled. “Sure. That’s perfectly fine.” He kissed her forehead while hugging her around her waist with an arm.
“Oh you’ve got to be fucking-” Dash snapped then glared at Gilda.
Gilda smirked at her.
“Again.” Dash shifted her glare to the TV.
“I kinda feel like we’re getting in the way of their fight.” Twilight commented.
There was a loud bang from the TV as Ganondorf proceeded to super-kick Captain Falcon off the stage.
“I’m faster! Why the fuck-” Dash grit her teeth.
“And I’m a walking wall of Gerudo Might, so….” Gilda commented.
“Hey G,” CC said with a smirk as Lucario snuck in from the side. “Don’t mind me, just gonna fire this off. Thanks for the damage earlier.”
The massive Aura Sphere attack was faster than it had any right to be.
“Motherfucker.” Gilda blinked as Ganondorf was shot off the stage. “So that’s why you let me beat you.”
“Mhm,” CC nodded. “Oh, hey Dash. I see you’re coming in for a landing. It’d be a shame if I were to force palm-”
The attack was a blue lance that took up a good few feet off the stage in the direction of Dash’s attempt to get back on after Gilda’s attack had failed to kill her properly.
“Aaaaaand” Twilight let go of B.
“Thoron!” Robin called out as a bolt of lightning shot across the stage and made the Lucario swiftly sail off the stage.
“Ah-ha!” CC said with a smirk. “Fool, you just made me stronger! Plus, you know, my third jump covers more distance the more damaged I am. Getting back isn’t the problem...It’s not falling in one of your traps that’ll be the trick.”
“Hey Babe.” Gilda said as Ganondorf fell towards the mystic dog.
A pair of boots smashed into the Lucario, dropping the pair to the bottom of the stage.
“Oh no, the murder-suicide.” Twilight said with a chuckle.
“Ah, see, I hadn’t used my second jump yet, so…” CC smirked evilly.
The Lucario jumped once. Then it jumped off of Ganon, footstooling him into the void, before he rocketed up towards the stage…
Aaaand overshot.
Only for a Falcon to grab the Lucario in a hug, then send an explosive knee into the dog.
“Whelp,” CC noted as his character flew off the side of the screen. “That’s one stock gone, as well as all my damage buffs.”
“Hi.” Flutters called out with a yawn, as she walked into the kitchen. “Having fun?”
“Yes.” Gilda replied.
“No.” Dash grumbled.
“Hey Dash, it’d be a shame if someone were to-” CC’s character respawned, dropped behind Falcon, and grabbed on. “Suplex you.”
“Oh come on!” Dash cried.
Flutters giggled as she made herself something for breakfast. “From what I could hear, Gabs and Spike are just watching stuff together?”
“Mmmmhmmm.” Twilight nodded.
“Well, hopefully this rain stops.” Flutters commented as she looked out the window.
“Y’know, we shoulda checked the local weather channel,” CC admitted.
Flutters fished her phone out of her pink robe. She tapped at it. “Weather reports says… Rain today and tomorrow, the rest of the week should be sunny.”
“Yay.” Twilight cheered quietly.
“Gives us plenty of time to do some proper bonding,” CC admitted. “Hey Twi, how good are you at blocking?”
“Huh?” Twilight blinked as Robin was summarily punted.
“Ha!” Gilda barked a laugh.
“And thank you for the delivery, we hope you enjoy flying Air Lucario!” CC smirked. Robin came right at Lucario, and CC delivered a brutal upwards smash attack to send the poor tactician flying.
“Awwww.” Twilight pouted.
“Surpri-” Dash’s surprise attack was cut off by a particularly large sword.
“Thing is Dash, I actually practice with Ganon.” Gilda smirked at the frowning pegasus.
“Yeah, so it’s likely to end up with me getting knocked about for about five minutes until I return all that pain with interest.” CC noted. Lucario started walking up slowly to Ganon until he was just out of attack range. “And if I know you...you’re pretty sure you can get a blow off on me.”
“I’ll show you a good blow.” As the griffon mimed a BJ.
“Oh, it’s too early for this.” Flutters groaned and headed back to her room with coffee and a plate of food.
CC waited, and sure enough, Gilda went for a huge punch. And he waited...and just as it was about to hit, he smirked.
“Hey Gilda,” he said. “Counter.”
“Like this?” Gilda asked, canceling her attack, and shielding at the right time, before punching Lucario in the face.
“Okay, okay, admittedly, shouldn’t have been smug there,” CC replied as he rolled with it. “Still, it’s good to learn things.”
“Dweeb, sweetie, I actually take time to practice when you go for your runs.” Gilda snickered.
“Heads up.” Dash called out as… she missed her Falcon Kick and shot herself off the stage.
“Fuck.” The pegasus grumbled.
“Oh, so Chat has a thing.” Twilight said, glancing at her laptop.
“Right, we had Chat up.” Gilda said.
“New round, new characters, but every time you’re the first one out of stocks you have to strip off a piece of clothing.” Twilight read off. “I’d rather not strip.”
“Then don’t die.” Dash commented.
“Funny.” Twilight deadpanned at the pegasus mare.
“Well who has the lowest stock?” Gilda asked.
“Player Three Defeated!” Yelled the announcer as Dash disappeared.
“There you go.” Twilight gestured.
“The dude might be too fast.” Dash grumbled.
“And I thought being fast at everything was good.” Gilda raised a brow at Dash.
“Oh ha ha, the speedy mare cums quickly.” Dash snorted rolling her eyes.
“Hey nothing wrong with that.” Twilight added. “I can just orgasm multiple times.”
“Well good for you.” Dash glared at the glasses wearing mare.
“Once the match is over, we can entertain the notion,” CC quipped. “At the moment, my main drawback is that in order to hit hard, I have to be hit hard, and that leaves me open to being punched right off. So...enjoy some sniping.” That being said, he started charging Aura Spheres and launching them from the other side of the screen.
“You’re no Samus.” Gilda said as she attempted to jump his spheres.
“And that’s what you get for being slow.” Twilight said as she lit the Gerudo Prince on fire. Lucario darted in and delivered a heavy uppercut to juggle Ganon into the air a little, before dodging back to avoid a predictable stomp.
“And you learn my tactics.” Gilda leaned in, tapping away at her controller.
Meanwhile, Twilight was running Robin around to avoid getting hit due to her high damage percent. And Lucario was sitting on the other end of the stage, with plenty of opportunities to avoid an incoming Ganon.
“So what does an angry Gerudo do when he’s got two rabbits running around him, annoying him with their attacks?” CC teased.
“Pin them down and fuck them senseless- Come ‘ere!” Gilda growled as the Lucario outran the Gerudo.
“Oh, sure, I’ll just let you catch me,” CC rolled his eyes. “Hey Twi, heads up, angry prince coming in your direction!”
“Aaaa Leech.” Twilight popped her Down B but miss-timed it unfortunately. The Gerudo Prince proceeded to slam a rather large sword into the tactician.
“Player Four Defeated.” The announcer called.
“Just you and me babe.” Gilda turned her attention to the dog.
Who had an Aura Sphere as big as him ready to fire already.
“Dodge this,” CC quipped, letting it fly.
“Fu-”
“Player Two Defeated.”
“Fuck you.” Gilda glared at CC. “And not gently.”
“And this is why Lucario’s gimmick works when you’re fighting big opponents,” CC smirked. “He gets back, he smacks back, and as long as he dodges more attacks, he hits harder, longer.”
“So, Chat recommends characters that you’re not familiar with.” Twilight read off.
“Gotcha.” Gilda nodded.
“Sooooo…. Hmmmm….” Dash hummed. “Bowser.”
“Dash being slow? Huh, learn something new every day.” Gilda commented. “Solid Snake.”
“Mario.” Twilight shrugged.
“Me, I’ll leave it up to the game,” CC noted, selecting Random. “Oh, idea. How about we make it so that we’re playing against Chat while doing their challenge? So if they want to see a particular person strip, they can gang up on them.”
“Great idea.” Dash chuckled.
“Please no…” Twilight squeaked.
“Don’t worry Twi, we’ll protect you,” CC started off with, eliciting a sigh of relief from the unicorn. “I’ll just throw Gilda on the frontlines instead.”
“Hey!” Said Griffon snapped.
“Like you wouldn’t turn your nakedness into a weapon to use against me,” CC noted.
“Oh we both know you just wanna see my tits.” Gilda smirked at him.
“I’m pretty sure all of Chat wants to see your tits too,” CC countered.
“I can’t help it if they like Amazon tits.” Gilda chuckled.
“I bet they are very nice.” Twilight nodded.
“They are pretty great.” Dash nodded.
Twilight giggled. “So everyone’s in agreement, kill the griffon.”
Gilda’s smile faded. “Oh fuck me.”
