Hard Cider Nights

With a startled yelp, the two figures fell out of the bed on opposite sides. Stumbling to their feet, Applejack and Rarity, both draped in sheets from the bed, rose up and faced each other.

"What? What are you-?" Rarity stuttered "How did we-?"

"Oh mah lord," Applejack said slackjawed "We didn't..."

"No. No, no. No, no, No, NO, NO!" Rarity shrieked, causing Applejack's head to rattle "This cannot be happening! Tell me this did not happen!"

"Now calm down, Rarity" Applejack instructed.

"CALM DOWN?!" Rarity screeched "HOW CAN I CALM DOWN WHEN IT LOOKS LIKE I'VE DONE SOMETHING SO SCANDALOUS LIKE SLEEPING WITH SOMEONE I WASN'T EVEN DATING?!"

"Hey!" Applejack cried "First of all..." she reached across the bed and and plucked the Stetson Rarity was wearing off her head before returning it to her own head "Now, let's stop acting like chickens going to the chopping block and think this over! Obviously, tha batch Ah brought with me was stronger than usual, cause Ah can't recall what happened".

"Well, that makes two of us!" Rarity retorted.

"Still, fer all we know, nothin' happened" Applejack continued "This whole thin' could be completely innocent!"

"And how pray tell do we determine that?" Rarity had to ask.

"Well," Applejack said "if we did anythin' inappropriate, we'd be naked, so tha first thin' we should do is check and see if we're indecent".

With a nod, Rarity raised the blanket wrapped around her enough to peak underneath, Applejack following suit.

The two immediately looked back up, both blushing like a pair of tomatoes. Or apples as the cowgirl would've preferred. Looking out to the room, they saw articles of clothing scattered everywhere.

"Alrigh' so we're clothin' challenged" Applejack said defensively "Maybe we just decided tah try the whirlpool bath, and then jumped into bed without puttin' on PJs."

"That sounds like a stretch to me" Rarity said flatly "No matter how much I like the whirlpool bath".

"Well, look" Applejack said "Ah've never done this before and you've never done it yet" Rarity nodded "Meanin' tha if we did do it, there'd be a sign of it on the bed".

The instant Applejack finished that sentence, she and Rarity looked down to the bed....and saw a rather large red stain on the sheets.

"Oh shoot" Applejack said with wide eyes.

"AAH!" Rarity wailed, her fears confirmed.

"Hey, it could've been worse!" Applejack tried to be comforting to her friend.

"How?!" Rarity asked with a sarcastic shriek.

"Usually after Ah drink too much of that stuff, Ah end up with mah head over tha can!" Applejack explained "Yer lucky Ah didn't barf on yer breasts!"

To no surprise, that didn't help to make Rarity feel any better about the situation.

"I can't believe this!" the fashionista moaned "I was saving myself for someone special! Now, thanks to you, I've lost one of the most precious moments in my life!"

"Wha?!" Applejack shouted "Wha are yah blaming me fer?! Ah'm sufferin' too!"

"Are you now?"

"Wha's tha supposed tah mean?"

"You got me drunk and then took advantage of me when I was vulnerable!"

"Ah did not!" Applejack objected.

"When you brought out that barrel, I wanted to pass on the cider, but you talked me into it!"

"Ah only convinced yah tah have one!" Applejack retaliated "It was yer decision tah have five more!"

"Because I became so intoxicated after the first glass that I couldn't stop myself!" Rarity shrieked at high volume.

At this point, the two were glaring at each other with narrowed eyes, practically nose to nose while holding up their blankets to preserve their modesty.

Finally, Applejack spoke, her glare still sharp.

"We never say a word about wha happened in here" she declared "No one-not even our friends-learns about this. Understand?"

"Agreed" Rarity nodded while subconsciously pulling her blanket tighter "If Rainbow Dash ever finds out about this, she'll use it as ammo against us for the rest of our lives!"

"Good, let's shake on it" Applejack stated before beginning to hawk.

"I prefer to do a regular handshake, if you please" Rarity said, a repulsed look on her face.

Reluctantly, Applejack held back her spit and merely held out her hand, which Rarity grabbed a hold of and shook.

"Alright, let's get dressed" Applejack said as she tossed her blanket away, revealing her nude body, which Rarity averted her eyes from "If the others weren' awake yet, they'll be awake now after our shouting match".

While Applejack unashamedly started picking up her clothes, Rarity chose to remain wrapped in her blanket as she bent down to collect her own garments.

"AAAHH!" came a shriek, causing Applejack to turn to see Rarity holding up a handful of torn and destroyed fabric.

"You beast!" Rarity screeched at her friend with murderous eyes "You ripped my clothes to pieces!"

"Wow, must've been really eager last night" Applejack said with wide eyes.

"Eager?!" Rarity shrieked "You completely tore my clothes off me!"

"Wha are yea complaining about?" Applejack asked in confusion "Yea still got a whole wardrobe!" she said as she pointed at Rarity's oversized trunk.

"That's not point!" Rarity cried "That dress was made from unique, one-of-a-kind garments and was going to be my main outfit for our stay at the motel!"

With a sigh, Applejack just turned to put on her blouse while a moaning Rarity went over to her luggage.

"It's bad enough I was robbed of my virginity by a night of intoxication, but one of my best outfits has been ruined!"

The moment the pair had finished getting dressed (Rarity constantly swapping through combinations to find a suitable replacement for her lost outfit), there came a knock on the door.

"Remember" Rarity spoke in a harsh whisper "Don't say a word about what happened".

"Ah know, Ah know" Applejack shot back in a whisper of her own before walking over to the door and opening it, revealing Sunset, Twilight, and Pinkie Pie on the other side "Oh, hi, fellas!"

"Oh, good morning!" Rarity said in a cherry tone "I do hope that you had a pleasant-Good, heavens, what happened to you three?"

Applejack and Rarity finally took notice of their friends, and realized that they weren't looking as they normally do.

Due to her broken leg (and the fact that her favorite outfit was missing), Sunset was forced to continue wearing Pinkie Pie's clothes. Fortunately, Twilight had managed to get her a pair of crutches and put her leg in a quickly made cast. Her shiners were still there though, dark as ever and didn't look like they'd be fading anytime soon.

While she was able to get out of the spy suit, due to having a single outfit (she packed the majority of her bag with scientific essentials) which was also missing, Twilight was required to wear Sunset's blue dress and jacket combo (there was no way she was going near Pinkie's wardrobe). Her cracked glasses still on her face, while she mentally cursed herself for leaving her backup pair at home.

As for Pinkie Pie, due to not going through any major physical changes, she remained mostly the same. She had managed to return her hair to its original poofy look by some way that Sunset and Twilight didn't understand (and quite frankly, didn't want to know).

She was also still wearing the clown outfit she had woken up wearing.

"Dang" Applejack said in disbelief "You three look like you had a rough morning".

"You're half right" Sunset winced, to which Twilight handed her an icepack for her left eye "Let's just say that we think we had a busy night after drinking your cider".

"Oh, is that so?" Rarity asked nervously.

"Yeah," Pinkie Pie nodded "When we woke up this morning, our room was a mess, we were sprawled all over the place, Sunset was wearing my clothes and had two black eyes and a broken leg, Twilight had broken glasses and was dressed like a spy, and I looked like a teacher clown!" After finishing her long winded discussion, Pinkie Pie took a few deep breaths before saying "By the way, I got married!" in a happy, casual manner while holding up her ring finger.

"Wow" Applejack said with wide eyes "Sounds like you three had an eventful night".

"Yes, quite unlike the boring evening that Applejack and I likely had after our drinking party" Rarity said in a forced manner.

"By the way" Sunset asked in curiosity "I was meaning to ask: what was all that shouting coming from in here about?"

"The shouting?" Rarity asked nervously as she was careful to block the bed from Sunset and the others' view "Uh, well, you see, what happened was...we were having an argument because...uh..."

"Ah breathed on her face in mah sleep!" Applejack said quickly.

"Yes, that's it!" Rarity agreed with a nod and a fake cheesy smile "The smell of the cider on her breath woke me up and I wasn't too happy about it".

"All that yelling just because of a bit of morning breath?" Twilight asked in bewilderment.

"Hey, it's not that weird" Pinkie Pie shrugged "Gummy usually tells me off when the sugar on my breath aggravates his nose in the morning".

The rest of the group just looked at her while simultaneously thinking that her example only made the concept even more crazy, before Sunset spoke up.

"Anyway, we only came by to let you know that we're going to be busy today" she explained "I'm a bit worried we did something we may have regretted last night, so we're going to figure out exactly what we did".

"Well, I can understand you wanting to do that" Rarity nodded "Would you like some help? Applejack and I would be more than willing to give you a hand".

"Yeah" Applejack nodded sincerely "And Ah'll get Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash so they can pitch in too".

"Thank you, both, but that's unnecessary" Sunset said with gratitude "It's our problem, not yours. I'm sure we can figure it out on our own. As for Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy, let them be. They haven't really had a day to themselves since they got together".

"Alright, if that's the way you feel" Rarity shrugged "But tell me, how do you intend to backtrack your steps if you don't know exactly where you've been?"

"Leave that to me" Pinkie Pie declared, now wearing a detective hat and holding a magnifying glass to her eye "Detective Clown Pinkamena Pie is on the case".

"How long do yah suppose she was waitin' tah put tha hat on?" Applejack wondered.

"Don't worry" Pinkie said to no one in particular "I'll get to the bottom of this. I promise you I'll find that missing spouse" As the others shook their heads, Pinkie went on "The first thing to do is return to the scene of the crime and look for clues".

"Pinkie, please don't call it the scene of a crime!" Twilight moaned, the concept of being arrested and/or thrown out worrying her.

"She's got the right idea though" Sunset said "Maybe there's a hint to what happened in our room" she turned to the other two friends "You two enjoy your day, and we'll catch you later tonight for the performance".

"Alright, then" Pinkie Pie declared "Come on girls! This mystery won't solve itself!" with that she was off, with Twilight close behind while Sunset hobbled behind on her crutches.

"Hope you two have a fun time!" Twilight called back.

"Yeah, nice to know we're the only ones that did something we regret last night!" Sunset added.

"Yes! You're quite right about that!" Rarity said almost quickly as she peaked out the door and waved to her three friends heading back to their suite.

"You three take care of yourselves!" Applejack said with a cheesy grin "We'll figure out somethin' to do with our day!"

The moment their three friend were out of sight, Applejack and Rarity closed the door with a sigh of relief.

"That was close" Rarity sighed before turning to her friend "Your excuse was good, Applejack, but even I wouldn't get that worked up about cider breath".

"Heh, that's cause yah don' know what's in mah family's cider" Applejack retorted with a chuckle before a forelorn look came to her face "Ah do hope Sunset and and the others will be okay".

"I'm sure they'll be fine" Rarity replied "And if they did something they aren't proud of, we'll be there for them".

"Gotta say, Ah'm impressed they're bigger than we are" Applejack said almost guiltily "Straight out admittin' like that".

"Applejack, the difference is that while we don't want to suffer humiliation, those three are concerned they've committed felonies!"

"Yeah, Ah guess tha's a major difference" Applejack concurred.

"Now, if you'll excuse me" Rarity said as she walked to the room phone "I'll call room service and have them replace the bed sheets, and hopefully be able to convince them not to ask questions".

Applejack just sighed. "Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy are probably lucky. Ah'm sure those two are tha only ones among us tha didn't do somethin' they regret last night".

"Ah man" Rainbow Dash was saying as she paced the floor while Fluttershy watched from the foot of their bed "I can't believe it! We actually had the best sex of our entire relationship, and we can't even remember it!"

"I know" Fluttershy said solemnly "It's just not fair".

Following the realization of what occurred the previous night, Rainbow and Fluttershy reluctantly got dressed and tried to remember said night, but with no success.

"Not fair is right" Rainbow shook her head "Not only is the best night of our lives a blip, but since we don't know exactly what we did, how in the world are we supposed to repeat it?!"

"Why would we want to do it again?" Fluttershy asked in confusion.

"Why would we-" Rainbow sputtered before sitting beside her girlfriend "Fluttershy, don't you remember how it felt? The tinglyness, the sensation of melted nerves, the satiated delight, the wet pleasure, the feeling of pure bliss like we were literally in Heaven?"

The mere memory of how she felt making her loins wet, Fluttershy blushed before softly croaking "Yes".

"Didn't you enjoy it?" Rainbow Dash pushed further.

Her blush growing darker, Fluttershy spoke louder "It was the greatest feeling I ever had".

"Then wouldn't you want to have that feeling again?!"

"Yes! Yes! YES!" Fluttershy screamed like she was actually having an orgasm "I want to feel it again! Even if it's just once! Oh, I don't care if I'm a slutty, perverted, whore! I want to experience that delight again!"

Rainbow Dash just grinned at her girlfriend. "I thought that's how you'd feel" she tilted her girlfriend's face up so she could look her in the face "But you're not a perverted whore, Fluttershy. You're just a young woman with a healthy sexual appetite. There's nothing wrong with that".

Her lover's words making her feel better, Fluttershy smiled, before something connected in her mind.

"You said I'm not a perverted whore, but you didn't contradict me saying I was slutty".

Rainbow Dash's grin just grew. "I don't find anything wrong with that, either" she said before she leaned in and planted a kiss on Fluttershy's lips.

A blush on her face, Fluttershy slowly closed her eyes before responding to Rainbow's kiss in kind.

After their lips parted, Fluttershy spoke.

"So, what do we do now?"

"I'm thinking" Rainbow Dash replied before putting a finger to her chin in thought. After a moment, a light bulb went off in her head.

"I've got it!" she cried in excitement.

"And?" Fluttershy invited her to speak up.

"Alright," the athlete said slowly "We had our greatest sex last night, right?"

"Right" Fluttershy nodded.

"And we can't remember it" Rainbow Dash continued "Right?"

"Right".

"But, we remember the feeling that we were left with, right?"

"Right".

"So, then if we ever experienced that feeling again, logically, we'll figure out the cause!" Rainbow Dash finished.

Immediately realizing where this was going, Fluttershy squeaked "You mean...?"

"That's right" Dash nodded with a grin "Keep your schedule for the day clear, Flutters. Because you and I are going to have sex until we figure out what we did last night!"

While the prospect secretly delighted Fluttershy, she still had something to say.

"But, Rainbow, there's no telling how long that will take".

"Well, that just makes it a bonus" Rainbow shrugged "We might also break the record for most sex had in a single day".

Fluttershy just shook her head. Her girlfriend's love of fame was just one of her endearing qualities.

"Well, then" the animal lover said in an almost uncharacteristically eager tone as she stood up, grabbed the hem of Rainbow Dash's jersey and pulled it over her head "Shall we get started?"

Turned on by Fluttershy taking the lead, Rainbow Dash pulled the yellow girl in for a kiss as she unbuttoned her dress while Fluttershy reached behind to unclasp her sports bra before the pair collapsed onto the bed, the first of a long string of sessions beginning.

In Sunset, Twilight, and Pinkie Pie's suite, the trio was going over the junk that littered the floor, hoping to find a clue as to their drunken nocturnal activities.

"Where did we pick up this stuff?" Twilight asked in bewilderment as she picked up what looked like a greasy food wraper.

"Hmm" Pinkie Pie, still in 'detective' mode said "Well, it would appear that we painted the town red last night".

"Pinkie, I'm sure we did some crazy things last night, but I think that might be a slight exaggeration" Sunset replied as she tried to set the television back up.

"No, I mean we really must've painted something red" Pinkie retorted "Look!" Turning Sunset and Twilight saw Pinkie holding up an empty red paint can.

"Oh, boy" Twilight groaned while putting a hand to her eyes "Something tells me we've got a lot of people to apologize to".

"Ooh, luckily I brought my 'Frowny-Face-Apology' Stamp" Pinkie Pie declared before adding "And hopefully I can find it".

Sunset just sighed. "Let's keep working. We should be able to find a definite clue to what we want to know somewhere in here".

"Right!" Pinkie Pie nodded before holding her magnifying glass down at the floor "We won't stop until we learn who my new hubbie is!"

"Pinkie, there are other things to think beyond the possibility that you have a husband now!" Twilight cried.

"What, you mean there's a chance that I may have a wife?" Pinkie Pie asked in confusion, to which her two friends just groaned.

"Just keep looking, Pinkie" Sunset moaned as she struggled to bend down and pick up a plastic bag.

"Hmm" the party-loving girl said as she held her magnifying glass in front of her eye "Well, here's something".

"What, half a candy bar?" Twilight sarcastically retorted.

"Don't be silly" Pinkie Pie shook her head "I found and ate that already. No, what I found is a bag of money!"

"What?!" Sunset and Twilight cried as they hurried to Pinkie's side, with Sunset stumbling due to her leg.

Sure enough, there on the floor was a big bag full of coins, and printed on it were the words "Property of Poker Face Palace".

"Poker Face Palace?!" Sunset shouted in shock "That's the gambling casino half a mile from this hotel!"

"Hey, there's a note attached to it" Pinkie Pie said as she pulled off the piece of paper stuck on it.

"What's it say?" Sunset asked nervously.

"It says 'Here's your money, you little thieves, but I promise I'll get you for this' Signed Poker Face" Pinkie read.

"Oh, no!" Sunset cried in shock "We actually pulled a robbery while we were drunk!"

"You mean you never committed any crimes while going through your 'bad girl' phase?" Pinkie Pie asked the bacon-haired girl, earning a glare in response.

"I don't understand it" Twilight shook her head "How could a heist result in Sunset getting a broken leg and my glasses getting cracked?"

"We'll figure that out, later!" Sunset said in panic "Right now, it's important we return this money before the police track us down here! If they do, they may think the others are our accomplices and arrest them too!"

"Well, then, what are we waiting for!" Pinkie Pie declared with a dramatic pose "I won't find my new better half inside a jail cell! At least, I hope not. Come on! We've got a crime to uncommit!"

With that, she ran out the door, bag in hand, Twilight and Sunset lagging behind.

"Oy, something tells me this is going to be a long day" Sunset moaned.
