Captive

For the rest of your ride towards the sky, you’re remaining pretty much quiet. It isn’t the awkward kind of quiet though, not at all. Rather a peaceful one.

But as you get closer to your destination in the cloud city, it’s turning into one big flirt because both of you know what's gonna happen as soon as you’re home.

And none of you can wait.

Once the basket is tied, you rush together straight to the big door you've walked through so many times before. Now you almost kick them open… With an emphasis on the "almost", you wouldn't want to ruin her fancy door.

As soon as the door closes, you pick the pretty pegasus in your arms and carry her all the way to the bedroom, already kissing her on the way. But when you lay her on the bed, she unzips her saddlebags and fishes out the familiar collar out of their pockets.

"Really?" you chuckle, kneeling on the bed in front of her, about to go down on her.

"Yup, really." she spins it around her hoof with a frisky grin, but then she clips it to her own neck "...It's for me though."

"Hah- what? You're serious?"

"Dead serious." the excited mare hands you the leash.

"But Dash I... I can't. At least not right now. I need you."

"I'm right here, just take me." she giggles, still playing with the collar.

"No I meant, I need YOU. Without this." you unclip it, letting it slide down from her dainty neck and lean closer "Without any pretending, just the two of us. At least for a while longer,.."

"That-... actually sounds real nice...." Dash smiles in surprise, getting all red in her face, looking almost guilty about her previous proposal.

"...We can have plenty of fun with that later though." you softly kiss her lips, letting her know she isn’t the only perverse one.

But when you’re about to part your lips, she won’t let go of you, non forcibly wrapping her hooves around you to prolong the moment a little longer. So you keep kissing her, enjoying the simple, pure feeling of affection and innocence. Just the two naked souls, in complete surrender to each other, preparing for the dirty play that's soon to come and replace the spiritual bliss with something raw and utterly lewd.

Can’t say you’ve ever experienced this level of trust and intimacy with anyone else before and it's exciting you to your very core. And everything about loving this little being is equally wonderful to you:

All the cute, delighted noises she's making, the taste of her saliva, each movement of your entwined tongues, the loving touch of her hooves, the feel of touching and fondling her body back, how she’s slowly closing you in the cocoon of her wings,.. even the strands of her mane that are tickling your face you adore. But that amazing, sweetish scent of hers is the most ravishing of it all, making you want to stay in her presence forever and never again long for a human, or any other girl besides this one.

And when you part your lips for a short while, just to let some fresh air into your lungs, you're seeing those mesmerising eyes again. Those which you can’t look away from, as if you were getting pulled straight towards her soul.

"...No stallion ever gazed at me like you do." she exhales a hot breath into your mouth, as your hearts race together in the same rhythm.

"That's just because they couldn't see what I'm seeing." you smile, stroking the colorful mane on her head.

"...And what are you seeing?"

"That you're gorgeous, and I love you."

Before she has time to say anything, you press your lips against hers again because you couldn't wait a second longer to do so.

In the growing excitement, the bulge on your pants starts poking Rainbow’s belly and soon you can feel her hooves clumsily pulling all the clothing down from you. Naturally, you help her with that.

In less than a few seconds it’s all laying next to the bed and you’re back in action. Her soft fur now feels so much better on your bare skin while your back is getting tickled by the feathers of pegasus wings. And even though you're getting hornier each second, the cuddles feel just enough for this moment. If there was any more stimulation than occasionally rubbing your manhood against her body, you’d probably burst in an instant anyway.

But as slow you’re taking it, soon the kisses are getting sloppier and sloppier until you feel like there’s pony saliva not just in, but all around your mouth as well.

In the meanwhile, Dash keeps progressively sliding lower from her pillow, under your body till you find yourself completely above her. The last time you were in this position with her was just before the white knight unicorn threw you against the tree.

"What are you going to do with your mistress now?" she asked back then… And you had no idea how to respond. But this time you know exactly what you want to do with her. And there's nopony to stop you.

So you blindly reach for the collar still somewhere on your right and just when Dash gasps for air in between the kisses, you clip it onto her neck.

At first she almost yanks away in confusion but the very next second she gives you her most coquettish smile, very similar to the way she glanced at you under that tree.

"..So this is how it's gonna be huh?"

"What about it?" you softly pull on the leash to bring her muzzle just a little closer to you, giving her an utterly innocent kiss, right at the top of her snoot.

"Nothing.” her impish expression gets even lewder “...Just be ready for a payback."

"You have no idea how I'm looking forward to it.~"

"Good.~" she boops your nose "Now, what would you have your little pony do?"

“This.” you merely eye down on your throbbing member, poking her delicate body.

And as you pull away to lean on the other side of the bed, you gently lead her with the leash towards you. But before her head starts sliding lower to your crotch, you can't help yourself but to affectionately caress her cheek in your palm.

...Just maybe you won't be too good at playing the rough master, now when you aren't angry at her. But she wants you in that role, just obediently waiting with her lips right in front of the tip of your manhood, till you make her do the next step.

You could almost believe her act of nonvilligness, if only her eyes weren't full of wild lust.

So you bury your left hand in her fluffy mane, moving away a few strands from her face, and grab your shaft with the right one. When you have her nicely positioned, you very slowly rub the tip of your penis over her lips, expecting them to open for you.

But even though Dash sneakily licks away the drop of your pre-ejaculate, she wouldn't open her mouth just yet.

“Make me.” she giggles instead.

“...Are you like,.. sure?”

“Come on, or do you want to switch already?”

“Okay, okay, jeez.” you grin “I’ll be gentle though.”

“You can, but I won’t.” the mare with fire in her eyes breaks her act role for the last time, right before you push her head down a little, slipping underneath of her cheek while her jaws remain tightly shut.

You can feel her molars brushing over your sensitive spots as her mouth is slowly giving in, unclenching her teeth and letting you inside to feel her meaty tongue.

The dirty little thing hasn't been swallowing her saliva all this time, just letting it pile up, so just as you enter her slippery heaven, it partly pours out.

She isn't exactly doing anything on her own though, besides trying not to spill any more, just watching you, obediently waiting for an order.

It takes you just a little while to realize that and another one to do it:

"...Use your lips, okay?" you gently pull on the leash, moving her head just a little lower down your shaft.

And without a word, she closes her mouth around your erection, softly sucking as you're beginning to thrust inside by yourself. Further and further with each hump, until you're starting to feel that you're poking her throat. ...That's where you stop, actually. You went pretty far back then, you probably shouldn't do the same now.

Though, when you glance into Dash’s magenta eyes, she’s giving you a look that expects you to continue. Breathing heavily through her nose, a mouthful of dick, yet she's ready and willing for anything. But not just ready, straight up eager for you to make her gag.

So after a few more seconds of hesitation, you slowly push her head lower. Very cautiously though, checking how she's gonna react. And as prepared as she seemed, her eyes still widen a little as you slide the tip down her throat, pushing the loose collar lower down her neck.

It makes you let her go but she grabs your hand and puts it back onto her head. And this time, she almost doesn't even flinch as you enter her throat, letting you push her head a little bit closer to the very root of your manhood with each of the movements.

With the final one, when the tip of her nose finally touches your belly and you can feel the bulge in her throat moving even under the collar, you give her a little breather by pulling out completely. Wouldn’t want to actually hurt the sweet pegasus.

For a while she gazes at the thick web of saliva, hanging from her lips to your member, panting and regaining her composure.

Once she’s ready to continue, she gives you a little smile and a nod.

With the sign, you start guiding her head up and down, all the way inside her throat and out, which she seems to be taking a lot better now. But it's you, who won't be able to bear all this stimulation anymore.

You're actually a little ashamed of yourself for using her like this, even though you know it's all part of the play. But it's guilty-exciting at the same time, almost as if it was real. Almost too much.

The next moment you find yourself shooting a thick load, straight into her throat, as the fireworks inside your brain explode into rainbows of colours. Then another one. And the last, that sprays into her mouth as you have to let her go so that you wouldn't choke her.

At this point you drop the leash from your hand, while she’s already working on her own to suck you dry till there's nothing left. You just close your eyes and let your head fall over, indulging in the pleasure she's giving you until you're completely flaccid again. ...Only then you have a glance at what's going on down there.

But to your surprise, you find her face right in front of yours because she's about to kiss you with a mouthful of your own cum, just like she's done once before.

‘God no…’

In the very last second, you very gently but firmly stop her head with both of your hands, massaging her cheeks with your thumbs.

"...Can we not do that please?" you don your best pleading smile, hoping you won't upset her after what she went through for you.

The mare stops but then she snickers so hard the white sticky liquid flies straight through her nostrils onto your chest and while clumsily swallowing the rest, it even clogs in her throat, making her gag because she still couldn't stop laughing.

"Hey, you're okay..? I'm sorry.."

"I am..." she wheezes "And I was totally gonna do it. But I just couldn't when you made me remember how destroyed it left you the last time."

"....I guess I'm just not into that." you bashfully scratch your head.

"We'll see in time."

"What?"

"Nothing..." Dash smirks, unclipping the collar to symbolically clip it to your neck "Now,... would you be a good boy and repay the favour to your mistress?"

".....Anything to please her." you grin as she opens her legs for you and starts very slowly guiding your head down her body, towards her steaming hot and wet marehood. Along the way you're hungrily trying to kiss her anywhere you can reach with your lips:

First the fluff on her chest, then her slightly plump belly and before you get to her sweet spot, there are two almost flat breasts with tiny nipples. You never even noticed them ever before, ...a little weird thing to have.

...But it’s cute. She'd be a total flat chest if she was a human.

So you still attempt to give them some affection too before she pushes you even lower to her delicious looking, winking vulva. As soon as you get there, you have a thorough lick to have a good taste of the sweet juices straight from their source but suddenly she pushes your face in without warning or asking, covering you in the slimy and warm sensation, not even letting you properly breathe for a while. It's just now that you're properly realizing how she probably felt when the roles were switched... and why she wanted you to be a bit rough, cause you're enjoying this the same as she did.

Now when it’s consensual, there's suddenly something incredibly hot about letting her use you this way, as if you were her toy, made solely for this purpose.

Her pleasure is your pleasure.

So of course you're doing your best to fulfill your duty and please your kind mistress that's giving you such a plentiful first meal of the day. And she's liking it. Boy, how she's liking it.

So much she lets herself go completely, squirming and moaning, even kicking her legs in the air and flapping her wings, almost flying away from you. - That you don’t allow though, because you avidly follow her up, lapping onto your pony superior like a good human you are,.. till she falls back into the mattress.

Never thought you'd willingly find yourself in such a mental position but you're completely shameless about it. You love it.

Given her excitement, it doesn’t even take as long as you'd want till your head gets clamped between those thick, horse thighs of hers and you know you can prepare for a load of marejuices in your mouth. So you close your eyes to shield them and munch on her even hungrier. Sucking, licking and nibbling at her swollen clit in eager await of her climax...

And then it comes, or rather, she does.

Being prepared for it, you gulp down the initial splooch so you can continue on teasing her to prolong her orgasm as far as you can. ...But you didn't expect so much of it, enough to fill your mouth completely, start pouring down your chin and even come out of your nostrils. Yet you're still resilient about fulfilling your most important duty to wriggle your tongue as deep inside her as you can, tease her clit with your teeth and kiss her walls as if they were her lips. All those cute, delighted noises coming from her are the best reward you could ask for.

And eventually, by the time her orgasm fades out into stillness, you're still making sure she's getting the best treatment until she moves your head away with her hoof by herself.

"Oh Anon, that was so amazing,.." she smiles, still red in her face as she unclips the collar from you "Guess it's time to switch again, isn't it?"

But when she’s about to put it on herself, you stop her and snatch it away.

"How about we finish what I interrupted before..? How about-.." you smirk, playing with the collar in your hand as you climb on top of her to very gently kiss her, throwing it away "...How about we finish it just a little more tenderly?"

"Oh Anon... I was right,.. you're a softie..." she smirks, wiping away a bit of her own fluids from your chin.

"Come on, why do you keep calling me like that..." your face gets red, making you don an embarrassed smile.

"Because I love you for it." her expression turns into a very girly simper "...Not every colt knows how to be gentle hearted."

"I... guess it's a good thing then."

"Of course it is." she smiles before fondly nuzzling you "...Or would you rather be my big and tough man?"

"Depends on the situation... I guess both are okay. But right now, I just wanna be your lover." you kiss her, shutting her up and ending the discussion.

And you can't hear any protests.

As your tongues play and dance in your mouths, you slowly adjust your positions for the upcoming main event. Her legs are still open, so all you have to do is put a pillow under her rump and kneel in front of her. Mostly in the same position as the last time something like this happened. ...Except now it’s gonna be way more loving, compared to the way you pretty much raped each other before.

In order to actually penetrate her, you have to let go from kissing her, so you at least pick her front hooves in your hands, fondling their frogs.

Your eyes are glued at each other, only occasionally slipping down to have a glance at the penetration itself. Her delighted face and wanting gaze are now the most important sight in the universe for you to take in and it feels like she couldn't possibly get any rosier underneath that blue fur on her dainty pony cheeks.

But there isn't a slightest bit of shame over what's happening in either of you. Both of the worlds can go to hell, as long as you're together because there are absolutely no boundaries for your love. There’s only understanding of two souls.

And then the rising bliss starts to take over your connected bodies. In a way, you're losing sense of who is who at the moment. Your essences are melting together, affirming the brand new and way different ties from the old ones, being long thrown away.

All the stimulation from penetrating her so deep you can see her belly moving is good but it’s her eyes that you care about more. You're losing yourself in them, disappearing into nonexistence while staying anchored in your body at the same time, trying to take all that in.

Her tail, that she's slowly wagging from side to side is softly ticking your thighs and her half opened wings, stretched freely under her, - feathers waving and ruffling under each wave of pleasure that has to be manifested externally. Those blue hooves that are clenching your hands just the same way you're holding them, the fuzzy ears of hers, occasionally twitching from all the energy you’re making together.

It's just now that you're starting to realize you might be climaxing soon, as if you could feel both of you at the same time, knowing you'll be finishing together. So you reach to kiss her right before that, pushing yourself as far as you can go.

In that moment you can feel in detail, how she's being filled with your seed, while your bodies struggle to take in such amounts of pleasure at once. The energy is vibrating in your very atoms as if they should burst like a fission bomb but instead it's your mind that's exploding. Over and over again.

...Until it gets slowly remade from scratch and you return back to where you were, the bed in her cloudhouse.

...

After a little while of blackness in front of your eyes, you find yourself laying next to each other, in a tight hug.

The very first breath you manually take is like being born anew: deep and refreshing, pumping your lungs with as much fresh oxygen as they can absorb.Only then you both start calming down, your breaths easing and hearts slowing to a common frequency. ...And it's hard to find the words to say, now when you're able to speak again.

...But is it even necessary to speak? The look in her eyes says everything after all.

So you just cuddle up together and close your eyes, relaxing for a moment and indulging in the feeling of comfort.

...

"...It was so worth it. Everything that happened." Dash says after a while spent in silence.

"Sure was..." you grin, caressing her shoulder.

"And everything that will happen, will be too..."

"Even when ponies start complaining you're dating a dirty human...?"

"Yup, even then." she chuckles "And you aren't dirty,.. only in bed."

"Not as much as you though...." you can't help but to chuckle over the time she snowballed you out of nowhere.

"Oh yeah,.. that's kinda true." a snicker escapes through her nostrils, recalling the very same thing.

...It feels liberating to remember all these horribly traumatic moments you've had together, only to laugh at them now.

...

"....What if I made you slurp it from me and then spit it in my mouth though?" Dash pokes you again after a while.

"Jesus, why bring that up now..?" you snicker real hard “Why do you want to do this to me?”

"I was just curious..." she snickers back, friskily watching you "...it's still doable."

"Mayyyybe the next time, okay? Maybe. That means 50%, not ‘yes’."

"Deal." her teeth shine in an impish grin "But now... let's get to making those pancakes?"

"Great idea, despite how much you made me swallow, I'm actually kinda hungry."

"Could say the same." you accidentally bump foreheads while attempting to get up at the same time "...We probably should get cleaned first though."

"Nah..." Dash springs up from the bed, wiping her crotch with the already stained bedsheet "I'm hungry as heck."

"Alright, fine with me." you chuckle and do the same.

Yet you can’t help yourself but to at least throw the bed shed away from the mattress before following her to the kitchen.

***

"So, masterchef! How do we start?" the mare salutes you as you enter the room, like a military recruit.

"Watch and learn my little apprentice!” you quickly hop onto the act “Because we're making crepes that will be both thin and fluffy at the same time!"

"Aww yeah! ...But wait, for real though?"

"Sure, within limits of course." you grin "You just gotta whip the egg whites before adding them to the batter."

"Oh gosh I can't wait to have a taste.." Dash licks her lips "Lemme fetch the things for you."

"No wait, lemme come with you!" you laugh, grabbing onto her legs as she flaps her wings to try and reach the fridge.

...And she almost lifts you up,.. except she doesn’t. And both of you end up crashing down to the floor. You land on your back and the very next moment there’s a blue pegasus on your chest.

It wasn’t a big fall and she’s relatively light so it doesn’t really hurt. And since Dash probably didn't hit herself either because she’s still giggling, you wrap your hands around her:

"What’cha gonna do now?"

"Well I can struggle and kick..." she grins ".. or I can do this." and she reaches one of her wings to tickle your face with its feathers.

“Aww, jeez, stop it.” you laugh as you let go of her “You win.”

“See? Sometimes the force isn’t even necessary.” the mare gives you a little smug smile.

“I wish I had those too...” you reach for the feathered appendage in front of you, tracing the texture with your fingers “They’re amazing.”

“Well,.. as much as I’d like to stay humble, I gotta agree with you… They are amazing. I’d gladly lend them to you though.”

“Maybe someday.” it makes you smirk. Right before another part of her body catches your attention: “You know what I really like? This.”

And you bury your fingers into her chest fluff, giving her a few deep scratches.

Instead of saying anything, Dash just softly bites her lip, closing her eyes to indulge in the feeling only your hands can give her.

...It feels a little strange not to find any breasts underneath the fur there but you don’t really mind. Not at all, actually. You're starting to love these anatomical differences.

Then one of your hands slides down her belly, circling your finger around the button in the middle, it’s-... funny. It wasn’t just your imagination that she got just a little bit fatter since the last time you met. Her belly was perfectly flat before, now it feels a little plump.

"...Looks like someone has let herself go around the sweets." you grin, kissing her snoot.

"Y-yeah, about that..." Dash opens her eyes.

“Don’t worry though, I think I like you better this way."

"Gosh, you might be in for a surprise then..."

"What do you mean?"

"Um, nothing! I-I'll tell you later." she awkwardly grins.

"Are you planning to drop out from your workouts? Hey, I'm not to judge, that's your decision." you chuckle.

"No I'm not dropping out of these. I mean, maybe only for a few months." Rainbow chuckles back, adding under her breath "But I should probably tell you..."

"What is it?"

"...I might really have let myself go around the sweets but it isn't exactly the real reason why my belly grew... I thought so too at first, but I still took a pregnancy test just to be sure..."

"Wait, you're telling me you're pregnant right now?! With who?" you yank and sit up from the ground.

"With you, you big dummy! Isn't that obvious?" she pushes you back down, sitting on your naked thighs.

"It isn't, we aren't compatible!.. That's the reason why male humans get so oftenly bought by lonely mares, so they can have fun without consequences... How could it possibly be me?" you look away.

"Look,.." her hoof turns your face back at her, so that she can look into your eyes “...As much as I wanted to back then, I wasn't sexualy active with anypony for over seven months... Except you."

...That would explain why she always seemed so horny around you. But-...

"But how..?"

"I don't know. I was really confused about it too.... Even considered abortion because you were gone and I was so scared of the consequences, but... I just couldn't kill my baby. I couldn't... " Dash’s magenta eyes get a little wet over the memory but then she smiles "And when I almost accepted being a single mother, you returned. As if it all came together."

"...But why didn't you tell me sooner?"

"I didn't want to scare you off, okay?! ...And I did try, but you wouldn't let me..." she puckers up her lips. “You cut me off twice.”

"...God, so I'm gonna be a father." you exhale, staring almost blankly through her… But then you can feel the corners of your mouth rising on their own as your eyes meet again:

“I can't believe it, I'm gonna be a father!! That's AMAZING!" you grab her shoulders, shaking with her in excitement.

"...So, you're okay with it?"

"Of course! I already gave up all hope of ever having kids, but you-" you smack a kiss on her face "I love you! I promise I'll do everything to be the best father to-... is it gonna be a boy or a girl?"

"I have no idea..." Rainbow bites her lip "I was too scared to go to the doctor... Gosh Anon, I still am. Not only about what will ponies say, but how the baby will even look like. What if it'll be-..."

"...An abomination?" you finish what she couldn’t say.

And as an answer, Dash only fearfully nods.

"..Would you still not abort it?"

“...” ...Your question makes her softly cringe, breaking the eye contact for a second, before glancing back at you to hesitantly nod again.

"...Then it would be our little abomination." you smile "It's still a miracle! Things like that don't happen everyday. Even if it'll be an ugly evolutionary dead end, I'll love it because we made it."

Hearing it, your mare exhales in relief, following with a hasty inhale as a smile rises on her face: "I guess that's all I needed to know..."

"It's just... ponies probably can't look down on me any further but you, carrying a mixed baby,. It could destroy your reputation here..."

"I don't care Anon... At least I think. But I'll always have my five best friends, we're real tight. And I've got you..." she glances at you hopefully.

"You can count on me."

"...But I'm still worried about the baby... even if it won't be... deformed,.. it might not get treated fairly in this world... That's what I fear the most."

You inhale and open your mouth, about to say something positive and soothing, but then you realize she has a good point...

"....Oh yeah, I didn't exactly think about that... So,.."

"I don't know what to do..."

"Well I'm sure we'll figure something out! And we shouldn't make too many presumptions. Maybe it'll look like a regular pony after it's mother,... with only a few indistinctive features from my side...the mane color or something..."

"Y-yeah... we probably shouldn't get too far ahead. Important is we both want it,.. right?"

"Exactly!" you finally stand up from the ground, picking the pegasus in your arms "Everything is gonna be okay."

"It will..." she smiles back at you, looking way calmer than a minute ago "Thank you.."

"No, thank you. For being the bravest girl I've ever known.... And for giving my life a purpose."

***

After that little talk, you were about to return to the cooking lesson but it’s a little hard to go on, pretending as if nothing happened just now. As much as you're trying to concentrate, you can't stop thinking about it

"God I still can't believe it..." you exhale excitedly, while whipping the eggs.

"I know, but would you stop talking about it for a minute?" Dash on your right pokes you "You're supposed to teach me to cook right now."

"Okay, okay, I'm trying! ...How does your part look like?"

"I dunno HOW much flour and milk! You didn't even tell me! Just gave me the flour and milk while giggling like a mare." she shows you the bowl with yolks you separated, into which she didn't add anything at all

"You gotta feel it,.. just pour some in there and you'll see."

"I don't feel it yet, alright. That's what I need you for."

"Let's do it together then." you move behind her as tightly as you can, grab her hoof she's holding the flour with and slowly pour some into the bowl for her.

"Okaaaay...? Now milk?" she puts the flour back down and picks up the bottle, hesitantly holding it above the mix.

"Yup, go on." you softly nudge her.

Pouring the milk by herself, she seems as nervous as if she was handling some explosive materials or defusing a bomb. So you decide to take advantage of the situation:

"Maybe just a liiiiitle more and... -wait that's too much!!!"

"Haaaah!" she yanks "Noo!"

"...Actually, that should be okay. I was just messing with you." you laugh

"You..!" her nose wrinkles but she can’t hold back the giggle.

"See, you're already a great cook! Nothing to mess up here yet, you can always fix it by adding more things." you hand her a whisk to properly mix it all up before you add the whipped whites and a pinch of salt.

In return, you get a rare, humble grin.

...A few months back, you’d never guess you’d willingly be here, with this mare, having such a good time together. Yet here you are. And you wouldn’t trade it for anything…

***

Once it's all mixed and the batter is just right, you heat up a pan with some oil and give the bowl to Dash.

"...Me?"

"You're the apprentice here." you chuckle.

"Exactly, that’s why I can't do it myself! You gotta show me first."

"Okay, sounds fair. So let's try just this much..." you pour some batter onto the pan, trying to get it evenly into all corners by tilting the pan "See, just like that. Now, just a few seconds and we can turn it around."

"That's where I failed horribly the last time..." your apprentice eyes on a charred black handle, still sticking out of the trash bin. You would rather not think about how the rest of the pan looks.

"...Oh yeah.. But it won't be the case today! You just gotta do-...like this!" you carefully stuff the cooking spatula under the pancake to unstick it, then make it fly up to the air! ...And catch it back on the pan again.

"Holy bleep. No way I can do that."

"You can use the spatula to turn it around. I was just flexing at you."

"Then don't, I'm a ball of nerves as it is!"

"Sorry."

"It was a real cool flex though." an amused grin rises on her face "... Lemme try the next one." and she grabs the pan out of your hands, just when you put the finished pancake on a prepared plate.

You watch her pour just a little more batter than you would, but it's still pretty okay, so when she glances at you, looking for a confirmation that she's doing good, you give her two thumbs up.

"Well what does that mean?! Quickly, it's gonna burn!"

"That means you're doing amazing! Go on! Spread it to the sides!"

"How? Help me!"

"Like this." you grab her hoof, doing just the right movements for her.

"Oh, nice..." she calms down a little, seeing it's spread evenly "..Do we turn it around now?"

"Yup, it's getting nice and gold on the sides. Use the spatula."

"Yea..." the tongue of the pegasus pokes out as she's trying to concentrate on such a delicate task, but- ".....NOOO! I tore it!"

"It can still be saved! Just flip it around and I'll glue it back with some more batter!"

"I can't! By Celestia it's ruineddddd.” the rainbow mare desperately tries to fix it but she tears it even more, almost shredding it to pieces:

"......Why am I like this." her head hangs down a little

"Hey, you're fine. It was a nice first try."

"Third...if you count while I was here alone."

"No matter. Even though it ended up like this, you're trying, - that's important."

"Are you trying to motivate me into another attempt?"

"What if I do...? I'll make one myself and you can try the one after it, whaddaya say?"

"Sounds... good I guess." she smiles

And indeed, her next try, even though there still was some assistance and it's not exactly a perfect looking pancake, is edible. And that's good.

"...YES! I can't believe it! Like, look at me, frying food and stuff!" she's jumping around the way you only ever saw Pinkie move.

"Oh yeah, you're totally rad!" you laugh.

"Not rad, yet. But this is a huge milestone for me." Dash stops to give you a proud grin and a hug "..I'm gonna try the next one too."

While it may have taken a real long time just to make a few pancakes, it was an absolutely fun event for both of you. Dash made a few more, which was enough to satisfy her, and you finished the last few ones.

Now you've got your lunch ready for serving, with sirup and an equestrian version of nutella.

"Tastes like victory..." the mare gives a grin with a mouthful of a crepe "...Hope the baby can feel this moment too."

"I'm sure it can. And it'll know how to make crepes straight from the womb." you grin back.

"Oh yeah!..." she swallows her morsel, smiling to herself for a few seconds "....Anon, I think I'm gonna go straight to the hospital after this. I gotta know the gender and species of our baby..."

"So... you think you're ready for ponies to find out?"

"Yeah,.. I think I am. ..Wanna go with me?"

"You're kidding? Of course I do!"

"Great! I can't wait!" her teeth bite into another pancake.
