Rainbow Dash angrily rolled around on the white and fluffy clouds above Ponyville. “Ugh, this sucks!” she grumbled to herself. She let out a dejected huff as she lay on her belly, slowly watching the day go by with nothing to do.

All the free time in the world and nothing to do with it. She lazily laid low, slowly grinding her hips against the fluffy cloud. Even the little thrill that she was getting from humping was enough to make her wings titter. She could still remember in great detail the moment Cheerilee’s skirt got lifted, how wet she was when she saw her marehood in full view, and how hard Soarin’ was through his flight suit. Maybe if she edged herself a bit, she could get rid of some of the stress...

“Damnit, no!” Dash smacked herself in the face, flipping over onto her back to deny her any more pleasure. She put her hooves over her face and cried in anguish. “Gaaaah I fucking haaaate this!”

Rainbow gave herself a few more slaps to focus herself, trying to keep her mind on unsexy thoughts. She racked her brain, trying to remember if anyone she knew was free to hang out today and give her a nice distraction.

Fluttershy was out with Discord, Rarity was still working on Luna’s commission, hanging out with Applejack would be a disaster now that she had nothing to lose, Daring Do wouldn’t be back for a couple days, Gilda was definitely out of the question. All she’d do was tease her non-stop with those stupid paws of hers. Those stupid...soft...squishy...

“FuuuuUUUuuck me!” She had no idea how she was gonna get through today, let alone the rest of the month. She dipped her head back down into the cloud to muffle her screaming.

“So tell me, is that a thing you ponies typically do around here?”

Dash poked her head up. “Oh, uh, hey Capper. Long time no see.”

The cat put his hands on hips, grinning as he looked up to the sky. “Hey there, Rainbow. Why don’t you come down here so we can catch up?”

“Boy am I glad to see you!” Rainbow sighed in relief as she leapt off the cloud, using her wings to slow her descent as she landed on her hooves. “How’s the Equestrian experience treating ya?”

“Not bad, you’ve got a nice place going on around here,” Capper nodded. “Though it’s a lot more...colorful, than I’m used to.”

“Huh, Tempest said the exact same thing.”

“Really?” Capper raised an eyebrow. “I thought she’d fit right at home here.”

“Yeah, that’s what I thought. I guess being so battle-hardened changed her a bit.”

“Well anyway, how have you been holding up?”

“I’ve been alright, I guess. Just bored,” Dash casually shrugged, pretending that she wasn’t screaming in horny anguish just a few minutes ago.

“So, you normally scream into the clouds when you’re bored?” The corner of Capper’s lip turned up in a slight smirk.

Rainbow instantly cringed. “Ugh, fine. I’m still struggling this month and I don’t know if I’m gonna make it!”

“Wait wait wait,” Capper warned, taking a wary step back. “You’re not gonna leap onto me and ride me like no tomorrow right now, are you?”

“What? No!” Dash blurted out defensively. “Sweet Celestia, I’m not that desperate! ...N-not yet at least…”

“Well if it’s bothering you that much, why don’t you just get yourself off right now and you can enjoy the rest of the month?” Capper suggested.

“Because, I really wanna be able to make it this time!” Rainbow stamped her hooves. “I’ve been trying for years and I still haven’t gotten to the end yet!”

“No offense, but is it really that important to you that you win this thing?” Capper asked. “I thought it was just a fun little event.”

“Yeah! I wanna finally prove to everyone that I’m able to do it! I don’t even care about the orgy!”

Capper simply raised a skeptical eyebrow in response.

“...Okay yeah I do, it sounds awesome,” Rainbow Dash immediately sheepishly admitted. “But my point still stands! After nothing but losing year after year, I wanna finally taste victory!”

Capper thought for a few moments before making his response. “Well, if nothing else I admire your tenacity. You’re just gonna keep trying until you finally get what you want, no matter what. I like seeing that trait in others.”

“Really?”

“I mean, it’s usually cause I call those kinds of folks ‘suckers’, but…”

“...Thanks.”

Capper went over to a nearby tree, pressing his heels into the ground as he leaned back. “If you really wanna make it to the end, maybe you shouldn’t make such a big deal out of it?”

Dash tilted her head to the side, her eyes briefly darting down. “What do you mean?”

“Well, I guess it’s not really my place to say, but maybe you’ve been stressing yourself out because you’re constantly focused on the competition,” Capper shrugged, curling and uncurling his toes.

“But I’ve been trying to not think about the competition the whole time!” Dash interjected, trying to keep her eyes up.

“There’s a difference between trying not to think about something, and not worrying about it,” Capper explained. “If I told you to not think about Pinkie Pie, who’s the pony in your mind right now?”

“...Ah.”

“So just relax, Dash! There’s not much time left, I’m sure you’ll do fine.”

“Huh, that’s really good advice, thanks Capper. I think that’s really gonna h-” Dash’s genuine thanks was cut off when Capper suddenly lifted up one of his legs, pressing his paw against her cheek.

“...Of course, won’t help much if you’re just horny all the time, and it won’t stop everyone else from having their own fun,” Capper teased, tapping her nose with his toe.

Pomf!

“I...wh...how?!” Dash sputtered out, completely dumbfounded as she felt the cat’s paw rub up against her cheek.

“When you’ve spent some time as a con artist, you tend to pick up on the little things.” Capper chuckled. “Keep going Dash, I’m sure I’ll see you there at the end.”
