A widow's heart
Previous ChapterNext ChapterScotch Tape woke up with a yawn, looking out of the window. It was sunny outside.
“Looks like it will be a wonderful day.” She said before another yawn greeted her ears, seeing that Amy woke up. “Good morning!”
“Morning, Scotch Tape.” The girl smiled at her before they got up and into the kitchen for breakfast, seeing that Kate, Chung and Fletcher had prepared everything. Buns, with a wide collection of topping to choose from: Cheese, butter, Jam, bacon and sausage, along with juice for the two children.
“Morning, children.” The stallion greeted.
“Good morning, Fletcher!” The children smiled warmly at him and the others.
Good morning, mommy! Good morning, Chung!” Amy smelled the hot breakfast food. “Oh, boy! This looks good!”
“Let’s dig in!” Scotch Tape said.
Everyone began to pick whichever breakfast item they wanted, and began eating. While they did so, they had a casual chat, but otherwise, the breakfast was quiet. Soon enough, everyone at the table had finished breakfast.
“So, what did you have planned for today?” Kate asked her daughter.
“Playing with our friends outside.”
“Do you want to come too, Fletcher?” Scotch Tape waited eagerly for his answer.
“Sure, why not?” He grinned at her and the girl.
“Then have fun, you three!” Chung nodded happily.
“Of course!” Amy got up from the table along with Scotch Tape and Fletcher. “Bye!”
With smiles, the two kids led the stallion to a playground not far from their home. Alex, Collin and Emily were already waiting for them.
“Hi guys, nice to see you could come.” Emily smiled at them.
“The pleasure is all ours.” Fletcher returned it. “Now, let’s enjoy the day, shall we?”
Scotch Tape nodded. “Yep! And by the way, Fletcher?”
“Huh?”
Fletcher looked at Scotch Tape who suddenly cracked a mischievous smile at him. And before he could question it, she quickly tapped him with her hoof while saying “Tag! You’re it!”, before running off laughing.
“Hey!” The stallion shouted in slight amusement as all children scattered in the game of tag.
They all played for a while before stopping to rest, still laughing though.
“Hadn’t that much fun in a long time,” Fletcher admitted with a big smile. “So, what now?”
“I thought we could play with my ball.” Alex held it up.
“Sounds good to me.” Amy said and they started to throw it to each other, with Fletcher being careful not to hit it with his horn, using his hooves and nose instead.
Yet it was all fun for them.
Eventually, they sat down at a table to catch their breath and watching the clouds.
“I know it has been a few days, but I still can’t believe it. That those two years of occupation are over, thanks to you, Scotch Tape.” Amy looked at her with a weak smile,
“Please, I just did what was the right thing to do. After I saw what you been through, all the suffering…” Scotch Tape lowered her head for a moment, a weak smile of her own. “I just couldn’t live myself to see you suffer like this anymore.”
“And I’ll help anyone in need whenever I can.” Fletcher smiled weakly too.
“I don’t want to wake bad memories, but your mother would be proud of you.” Emily said with slight regret in her voice.
Scotch’s smile fell. “Yes, she would.” Then she sighed. “Sometimes, I wonder what might have happened hadn’t she died…” The filly paused for a moment, taking a deep breath. “But I know she wouldn’t have wanted me to look back.”
“That’s good attitude.” Her sister said, sounding proud.
“Thanks. And I know that in my heart, she will always be with me.”
“Yes, she will. Just like my parents.” Fletcher added.
“And we all know, your father won’t give up quickly.” Alex added.
“Yep, he wouldn’t. I just miss him and the others.” Again, Scotch Tape sighed. “But so will I miss you when he finds me.” She finished.
“We know, but you willalways be in our hearts as well.” Collin said and they all did a group hug.
“And I will never forget you either.”
“Then, if I may make a suggestion, how about a sleepover?” Alex spoke up, waiting for an answer.
“That is a good idea. When?” The filly asked eagerly.
“When I thought today. If it’s okay for all of you.”
“Well, first ask our parents. But, where should we do our sleepover? Amy asked.
“I thought at my place, if you like.” He explained, head slightly lowered.
“Sounds good to me!”
And so, everyone went back to their respective house and asked their parents about it. “It comes a bit sudden, but I wouldn’t mind that.” Kate smiled at her daughter and Scotch Tape.
A short time later, the telephone ringed and Amy picked up, seeing it was Alex. “Good news! My parents are okay with it.”
“Glad to hear it. We can come too.”
“And Collin?”
“His parents also said yes.”
“Nice. We see you later!”
“Bye.”
Then, there was a knock on the door and the two human adults answered it.
To their surprise, a unicorn with white coat, red eyes and a red and black mane, a stallion having light blue coat with a dark blue mane and blue eyes, a Pegasus with Violet eyes, a Bright Violet mane and a grey coat, and a Alicorn with also Violet eyes, a night blue mane and a dusk coat stood before them.
“Sorry to bother you, but we are looking for my daughter, is she here?” The stallion asked with concern, yet hope.
Both humans shook their heads and closed their eyes, believing their imagination was playing tricks on them but the ponies weren’t vanishing. “Yes, she’s here.” Chung replied before calling out, “Scotch Tape, someone wants to see you!”
The foal wondered who it could be as the 2 led their new guests into the house, as she saw them, she smiled overjoyed. “Daddy!”
“Scotch Tape! You’re okay!” The daughter and father hugged each other with tears of joy, while the other ponies smiled happy at them.
After a short moment, her father gently broke it. “Now, you surely have a lot to tell, my dear.”
“Yeah, but’s it’s a long story.” She explained.
“If you allow me Scotch Tape, I could use a spell that makes things simpler.” The Alicorn suggested, the filly nodded and the Alicorn touched Scotch Tape’s forehead with its white glowing horn. Her father and friends could see in a dream-like sequence what the foal had experienced.
“Oh my… You truly went through a lot, Scotch Tape, but I’m proud of you. I thank you for keeping my daughter safe, you all have my thanks.” Her father was grateful before noticing something. “How rude of me, I’m P-21, and those are Blackjack, Morning Glory and Lacunae.” He introduced himself and his friends.
“Pleasure, your daughter is quite brave for her age.” Fletcher replied, P-21 looked at him in what appeared to be confusion.
“You look familiar…”
“You seem to confound me with somepony else.” The Eternal Knight cut him off.
“Most likely, you look like somepony I saw in a dream. Coincidence I guess.”
“Maybe.”
“We still have to celebrate your Cutie Mark, Scotch Tape.” Her father pointed out and her expression became unsure.
“I and my friends had planned a sleepover this evening, can I still do it with my friends?”
“Of course, my dear. We would then come back tomorrow.” He replied smiling.
“I’d like to stay but I have to help out in the hospital, so see you later.” Chung said and waved them goodbye.
“Would you like to stay for the night, Fletcher?” Kate offered him and he nodded.
“Sure why not?”
The rest of the day was quiet, Fletcher killed the time by reading a book, having a casual chat with his host, helping out in the house and playing the Lego game, as he found it quite amusing.
As it became evening, a delicious smell of vegetables entered his nose, meaning Kate was making Dinner.
“It is done!” She called out and he walked towards the dining room, seeing she had made a vegetable stew, with him looking at it eagerly.
“Looks good, let’s eat, shall we?” He smiled, getting a nod from her.
As he started to eat, Fletcher noticed out of the corner of his eyes how the woman seemed to blush slightly, her head lowered. “Something wrong?”
“N-no, just had a silly thought. And I think it would be too personal to ask.” She stuttered slightly, sounding embarrassed and a weak smile formed on the stallion’s mouth.
“Whatever you want to ask me, its fine.”
In response, a sigh escaped the human. “Alright. Do you have a lover? I mean, you are a handsome stallion and quite politely too.”
“Well, yes but not in a romantically way, just friends. I had a few mares before here and there but was never interested much in finding love.” He explained calmly, “No need to feel awkward about this.”
“Okay. Sorry, I just….” Another sigh escaped her mouth. “I feel lonely since my husband died. Chung, he’s a good friend, and I admit…I might have developed feelings for him.”
“You don’t know how to admit to him and if it would be right?” She nodded. “Be yourself, look out for him, do the best you can whenever you can and patience is key. Always worked for me.
“Okay, I keep that in mind.” Kate acknowledged before yawing. They both then took the dishes to the dishwasher and brushed their teeth.
Yet Kate’s mind raced, having a restless, burning feeling between her legs. After the death of her husband, she relieved herself but it never lasted long.
She felt she needed some genuine relief but…
He’s a horse, it would be Bestiality! Then again…he’s as intelligent as a human, a sapient being…would it really count?
Taking a deep breath, she walked out of the bathroom towards her guest, who smiled warmly at her. “May I escort you?”
“Of course.” She appreciated his caring, being like a gentleman, or better said, gentlecolt in this case.
“Goodnight, Kate, sleep well.” The stallion said but she gently grabbed his hoof.
“Wait,” she said, blushing slightly. “Can you stay for the night?”
“What?” He asked in surprise.
“I…don’t want to be alone.”
“Oh, I understand.” The unicorn nodded, realizing she felt apparently vulnerable when she was the only one at home apparently. “Let me get a sleeping bag.”
“I wouldn’t mind sharing my bed with you.” She said, trying to sound seductive and Fletcher’s eyes went wide as he figured out.
“Kate…with all due respect, I shouldn’t.”
“Please…help a mother out. I need it.” The woman pleaded with him, “It’s been so long. And you look tensed to me.”
Now, the unicorn took a step back. “I can take of this myself.” He tried to defuse the situation but saw despair in the human’s eyes.
“I just.....” Kate’s voice was almost creaking, waking a feeling of pity for her and something clicked in his head.
“Al..alright…”
This caused her to smile. “Would you like to undress me?”
Fletcher couldn’t describe what was driving him as his horn lit up, gently removing her top and bra, blushing. During his stay, he always respected her wish to look away when she got dressed and now, he actually saw her naked.
Her breasts were c-cup in size, her build average, nothing special and yet…he felt somehow excited to see her like this.
His blood rushed to his groin, feeling how his cock escaped his sheath. “Are you ready?” She asked him, taking a seductive pose on the bed.
“Just a moment.” He lit up his horn for a second. “Contraceptive, better safe than sorry.”
“Of course.” Kate nodded as he positioned himself, looking into her eyes. She trusted him and was excited.
Restraint evaporated as she saw him about to penetrate, her aching vagina desperate for contact. Kate’s thighs quivered as she touched his wobbling column of maleness, the slick pre-cum soaking into her engorged clit, filling it with tingling warmth. Oblivious to the apparent size difference, Fletcher pushed forward, forcing his flared head against her pussy gently. The need to be speared on the stallions’ cock was overwhelming urged on by constantly leaking pre-cum currently leaking into her.
With strength born of unnatural lust, Fletcher slowly started to thrust, careful not to hurt her, as she was stretched painfully as she took in his length.
A grunt escaped Kate’s mouth the pain slowly died away and was replaced with pleasure.” Ah, yes!”
She had missed the joy of sex and being filled up to the last millimeter.
For Fletcher, this was a completely new and unexpected experience but that made it so more enjoyable for him.
Every ridge of his flared stallionhood pressed tightly against her walls, smearing more of his pre-seed into Kate’s body with every stroke. The unicorn picked up the pace, heartbeat thudding through his rigid meat, making it convulse and vibrate as he penetrated Kate over and over again, deeper and deeper, until he was pushing on her distended cervix while his sheath bunched up against her outer lips.
Both sweated and twitched as their orgasms were building up, the woman bucked her hips to it, moaning more frequently and louder.
She felt his balls twitching against her butt as his cock visibly thickened, bulging out at the base and slowly fattened inside her until it felt fit to burst. With a throaty neigh and horn sparking, he came at last, fountaining seed directly into her womb.
Kate’s eyes rolled back as it filled her, swooning as the liquid pleasure seeped into her womb, clenching down, trapping his seed inside, distending her belly painfully.
Despite this, both reached total sexual satisfaction, looking at each other with smiles, breathing ragged.
“Thank you…” Was all Kate could say before she passed out from exhausting, feeling a hoof wrapped protectively around her.
In the early morning, Fletcher yawned and stretched himself, feeling something warm around him. “Good morning.” Kate smiled warmly at him
”Morning.” He replied before got up, the former getting dressed.
“How did your sleepover go?” Kate asked her daughter as the children returned with smiles
“Great, Mom! I hope you had a good evening too.” Amy exclaimed, with her mother and Fletcher surprising a nervous chuckle.
“Goodbye, Amy. I wish you good luck for the future. You all were good friends to me.” Scotch Tape hugged her sister one last time, it turned into a group hug with the other children.
“Goodbye, Scotch Tape. Thank you for everything.” Amy started to cry.
As the filly walked over to her father, he said, “Farewell. Thank you all for keeping my daughter safe.” Lacunae lightened her horn up and the group vanished in a white light.
“Well, it’s time for me to go to. Farewell. Live long, and prosper.” Fletcher said goodbye, preparing the spell that would bring him home, hoping he would get it right.
“Wait, Fletcher!” Katie exclaimed, tearing him out, “I thought we give you a souvenir, so your friends will believe you.”
“What kind of souvenir?” He asked confused as several hoof steps reached his ears, seeing something he never expected to see.
3 small drones, about the size of a foal, the first resembled a unicorn, the second a Pegasus and the last one like a bat pony. It took him a few seconds to realize that they resembled him, White Wolf and Midnight Blade in every detail. “Aww, soo cute!” Amy and Emily’s hearts melted at the sights.
Fletcher blushed. “You...you can't be serious…” He looked at the ground, embarrassed.
“I am serious. How else would you prove what you have experienced to your friends?” Katie countered.
“Guess you have a point, but…why those?”
Archer took the word. “Well, if you’re remembering my mentioning of this gift in the recording? It was supposed to be plushies but Katie thought it might be better this way for you.”
“Okay…Thank you very much for this gift.” Fray was a bit disturbed by this as the 3 “foals” gathered around him for the spell.
Where am I gonna' put all these? He thought as he lightened his horn up for the spell home.
The Eternal Knight vanished in a white light too.
The unicorn awoke slowly with an aching head, groaning as he opened his eyes, finding himself on a bed in the infirmary of his, Wolf’s and Midnight’s home, the Sunless Isle, letting out a breath of relief, glad that it had worked, yet couldn’t see the foal drones anywhere.
The door opened, a very happy Pegasus mare came in, hugging him tightly with tears of joy. “Fletcher, you’re okay!” White Wolf exclaimed overjoyed.
Smiling, he replied, “I missed you too, Wolf.”
Midnight Blade joined them, also happy to see Fray again. “I’m also glad to see you again and safe and sound. I don’t think I could take it losing any of you after Saracen and Domino went missing.”
“Same here. How long was I gone?”
“A few days passed in Equestria. And of course, we aren’t the only ones who were worried about you.”
A green Earth pony with a blond mane and blue eyes walked in, followed by another Earth pony having a bespectacled purple and white patch-patterned coat, a long messy mane of indigo and silver streaks and matching eyes, wearing glasses and freckles on his face.
“Fletcher, I can’t say how happy I am to see that you are alive and well.” The green pony hugged him, Fletcher returned it.
“I’m glad to see you too, Wagensroll.” Wagensroll was the only relative of Fletcher’s family, despite being distant relatives, they cared for each other like brothers. “Anyway, it’s been a couple of weeks where I landed.”
“Couple of weeks? Where did the spell bring you?” The other Earth pony asked, Purple Patch, an expert in the field of Pre-Alicorn Studies, a very obscure field of study at the Royal Canterlot Academy, being Wagensroll’s friend and co-worker.
“Believe in or not, I landed on Earth, in the human world.“ Fletcher explained, surprising everypony.
“Y-you mean it...It actually exists?! This proves so much!” Patch jumped with excitement. “The stories of Megan the Mysterious a-a-and the Heartstrings Studies, th-th-the final campaign of Catseye the Conqueror, th-the Upright Ape sightings in Yakyakistan and...”
“Yes, yes, alright Patch. Remember to come up for air.” Wagensroll reminded him, causing him to stop with a blush from embarrassment.
“Yes. It was quite an eventful time.” With that, Fletcher told them all what he had experienced. It took his friends a moment to process everything.
“So...you mean to tell me...that humans in another dimension turned our world into a kid's show...” Midnight slowly putted the pieces together.
“That somehow inspired an entire worldwide fan base of all-ages and cultures that made art, literature and toys of us. In one of which, we and our adventures were featured...” Wolf tried to understand.
“Then...a paramilitary weapons designer designed automatons based on these characters from fan works which were in turn based on a kid's show, to fight a world war...” The bat pony continued.
“And now these drones have come across the characters they were inspired by, between both our dimension and theirs...” Wolf finished.
“That is, basically, how it looks, yeah.” Fray confirmed.
There was silence for a few minutes.
“Well...” Wolf shrugged. “Nope, I got nothing.”
“What can we say under these circumstances? I don't think there's any part of this situation that makes sense and yet what we see is what we have.” Fletcher replied.
“This is indeed a strange world we live in.” Midnight figured out.
“Say, those drones you brought with you, do they belong to this project too?” Wagensroll was curious.
“Well, yes, I got them as present and to proof what I had experienced. Speaking of which, where are they?”
“After you arrived, they brought you to this bed, then went into another room to build what looks like 3 charging stations if I saw that correctly.” Midnight explained.
In the moment, he had finished his sentence, said drones walked in, smiling at Fletcher.
Patch seemed visibly disturbed by them. “Um...kids, don't take this the wrong way but...I'm going to run from you as fast as I possibly can...” With that, he ran out of the room.
Wagensroll looked rather calmly at the drones. “Well, I sometimes tried to imagine how it would be like to have a little brother. The detail is quite fascinating.”
“I'm not cleaning up after them.” Wolf said, her expression neutral.
“..They're drones. What are they going to leave?” Fray asked, not able to understand what she meant.
“No clue but whatever it is, I'm not cleaning it up.” The mare replied in a stubborn tone.
“I know it was an accident but maybe you should stay away from the human dimension for now, Fletch. You seem to come back with something we don't know what to do with. And more importantly…” Midnight paused for a moment, trying to get the right words. “How...Shall We...Explain This...To Luna?” He wondered.
“I’m pretty sure we can think of something, right?” The unicorn asked his friends.
“Of course, dad!” The 3 drones exclaimed in unison, having young, robotic voices.
“Did they just call you dad?” Wagensroll couldn’t believe his ears.
“Seems so, I guess it’s part of their programming. We should get up with names for them.” Fray suggested.
“I suppose. Makes me wonder what names they…” The Pegasus mumbled.
“Mother?” The drones asked Wolf, completely surprising her.
“Did they just… Ah, father always told me I could be a mother one day, never thought it would be that way.” Wolf mumbled in surprise.
“Uncle?” The drones looked at Midnight.
“Given that I took care of Luna when she was a foal, uncle sounds fair.” The bat pony mumbled slightly surprised to being called uncle by them.
“Has somepony called my name?” A new voice asked, princess Luna walked in, followed by a scared Patch, the Alicorn gasped and squeed. “Who are you, you adorable foals?” She asked with glee, hugging them.
“I see you already like them, princess. Fletcher brought them with him from his… accidental journey.” Midnight explained, the princess caught herself.
“I see. There’s no need to talk, Fletcher Fray, save your strength.” Luna said and casted a memory spell on him, allowing everypony to see his experiences. “Oh my…I must say Fletcher, your caring for others honors you. I’m proud of you and you can be proud of yourself.” Luna then blushed at the last part with the others. “And I see that you…”
The eyes of the green pony looked down. “Well, what was I supposed to do, given how desperate she was?”
“Uh…fair point.” Midnight slowly nodded.
“And in a way, wasn’t this kinda familiar to you and Aurora?” His friend countered, with the batpony blushing more.
“N-not directly but I see the similarity.”
“At least it wasn’t like with Servilia…” Patch added flatly and Luna took a deep breath.
“Now rest, you have earned it.” The princess left.
“Thank you, your highness.”
“Well, while I’m not a fan of technology as you are Fletch, I’m must admit I’m impressed at the detail and efficiency of them. My counterpart sure can fight like me. And the personality of Grace also is close to me.” Wolf admitted impressed.
“And Joseph, he sure understands his job. It’s a pity though what happened to them, I don’t think I could bear it, waking up in a drone body with only my brain left.” Midnight shivered at the thought. “Anyway, get some rest, Fletcher. You better stay away from the human world for now.” They all left, leaving him alone.
Still, he had a strange feeling he couldn’t describe. “Something tells me that won’t be the last time I will go to the human world.” The unicorn spoke to himself as he closed his eyes.
Later, they got up with some names for their foal counterparts. “I name my drone Fletcher Junior.” Fray announced.
“Very creative, I must say.” Midnight liked it.
“I'm gonna name mine Wolf Cub.” The Pegasus said proudly.
“Am I the only one here who's got a shred of creativity?” The bat pony asked with embarrassment.
“Well, what did you name yours?” Fletcher wanted to know, his friend stayed silent.
“I'm Mid-Mite.” Midnight’s foal drone introduced himself, causing the unicorn and Pegasus to break out in laugher.
“It’s not that funny!” Midnight exclaimed, blushing in embarrassment.
