Author's Note

Alright, before this story moves on any further, I feel like I need to make a warning. The next few chapters are going to get steamy, which I hope you knew was coming due to the tags in my story. If you somehow missed that, this is your warning. I will also make sure to note where these scenes will begin and end with these statements: CLOP WARNING and CLOP END. There won't be any of those scenes quite yet in this chapter, though there will be references to that sorta thing. Alright, now that it's outa the way, enjoy the chapter!

Chapter 8: Post-Training Discussion! The Upcoming Heat Wave!

Two months have passed in the world of Ponyball Z Kai. The world was starting to stabilize after the past 4 months. Many key events in the small group of friends had happened. Izzy and Sunny, who had agreed on a living arrangement that allowed for Izzy to stay at the lighthouse, were now an official couple. Cyre was very happy for them, and so were the others, who were kinda just waiting for it to happen honestly. Cyre was far too friendly and far too welcoming of others most of the time to do any kind of judging or hating. He was just happy for them.

Zipp and Cyre's relationship also further developed. Pipp, who had officially discovered what had transpired between the two on the first night Cyre stayed in the castle was very surprised, but she supported both her sister and her Saiyan boyfriend the best he could. She also shared it with the rest of Zephyr heights, much to their chagrin. The ponies acted as you would expect: confused on how it happened (since the private details weren't shared, thankfully), and perplexed on what it meant for them. The citizens were more receptive since the return of magic and reuniting with the pony tribes, but it didn't mean that they would find this kind of relationship super normal yet. unicorns and earth ponies were a different matter. But Cyre was a completely different variable. They did, however, keep this doubt amongst themselves. If Zipp thought he was fine and worthy of the princess' affection, then they wouldn't worry about it.

Queen Haven, of course, was shocked and a bit angry with Cyre. Understandably so due to the stunt, this being that he showed himself off indiscriminately in front of her daughter. And there was also the incident where Cyre had won a contest at one of Zephyr heights restaurants where it promised free food for a year if they wone a food challenge. Let's just say that after that, Cyre was promptly blacklisted... from every restaurant in Zephyr heights, as he almost ran that one restaurant out of business when he went to the one restaurant. Cyre once again brought up that all the ponies were naked, safe for maybe a coat or a hat. So she had no room to talk about being uncouth in this matter. It also didn't help that Cyre wasn't a pony, so he didn't have a sheath. As for the food accident, it wasn't his fault that they couldn't keep up with his appetite. If they say all you can eat he's gonna hold you to that! Although he did admit he went a little overboard... Haven did ultimately forgive him for both of these grievances, but the Queen did let her know that if she ever did harm her daughter due to any carnal acts that Zipp didn't agree to, she would end him... somehow. Zipp was also in some sort of agreement in that. Zipp had been the recipient of unwanted advances before, so she was a bit cautious. She trusted Cyre enough though, and that was mainly because he trusted her enough with having the ability to use her ki.

Speaking of ki, Zipp had progressed rather steadily in the two months. Zipp had managed to be able to fire basic ki blast, along with powering up and other such things. The Kamehameha was one of the first super attacks she learned since it was rather basic. Masenko and solar flare were others that she had learned. in regards to powering up, she wasn't able to use kaioken yet. Instead, Cyre was focused on actually teaching her some basic and advanced moves that could be somewhat useful for her pony body. Super God fist and Sledgehammer were the two she had successfully learned in a two-month time window. She did learn others, but they were mostly for restraining and not really offense, such as the full nelson. Although her progress seemed to be slowing down a good bit lately.

It wasn't that Zipp wasn't very interested in training now, far from it. She insisted more and more the past two weeks. She was getting far more flustered and distracted when Cyre and Zipp sparred. Something was very wrong with her. We now join in on their training session, as Zipp did evasion excercises in the gravity room, though she wasn’t quite as aware as usual. She was doing her best to avoid multiple ki blasts flying around in the gravity room in X5 gravity, which Zipp was starting to get into rhythm with. But it was swiftly breaking as a burning in her loins was coming more apparent, and it had been for the past few days or so. It was however, enough to keep her distracted enough to get blasted every which way by the flying ki blasts, to which Cyre could see she wasn’t doing well. After that, Cyre canceled their night training session despite Zipp’s protests. They made their way back to Zipp's room, where Cyre was now staying. since they were together for a good 3 months now, it wasn't too crazy.

ZEPHYR HEIGHTS CASTLE: ZIPP’S ROOM, 7:30 PM

"Zipp you've been acting on the fritz for the past few days now. You've been holding out on me and I don't like that. Something is going on, and I need to know what it is so I can help. You trust me, don't you?"

"Y-yeah, but it's just that… well, it’s a personal issue, and it has certain.. things that could complicate our relationship.”

"Are you telling me I can't handle it? Zipp, you can handle X5 gravity, surely the pressure of what you need to say can't possibly be that great, that I can’t deal with the ramifications.”

“No, you don’t understand! Ever since last week I’ve been having cravings, and not the super innocent kind! I’m not sure how things work on your mind planet, so I’m trying my best to ignore it for your own sake!”

“Zipp! You don’t need to do that for me, but it’s nice that you care like that. But hiding things like this will not bode well for the future if I don’t know important details! Now tell me what’s going on so we can plan accordingly!”

"I'M GOING INTO MY ESTRUS CYCLE!!!! THAT'S WHAT'S BEEN HAPPENING TO ME!!! YOU HAPPY NOW?" Zipp shouted at him in anger before she realized what she did, yelling at Cyre. He was only trying to help, and she was yelling at him for telling him what she should have a month ago. It was a mistake putting it off till now. What exactly was she thinking? It was really silly now… luckily, Cyre wasn’t one to just get angry at someone flying off the handle like that. He’d seen it plenty before and experienced it himself. He understood it well enough.

"Estrus Cycle... wait a minute... you're all going into heat?!"

"Yeah... Pipp is too. I'm sure you noticed it too. Mom doesn't have it as bad, but she does have it. She's a lot better at hiding it though."

"Is that right? Well, I assume since you're going into heat, the only way to sate it is to actually get down and dirty, and get pumped full of-"

"Yeah, stuff like that. Let's not go into detail, at least for now. That brings us to the forefront of our relationship. I’mb going into heat, and you’re an alien. So I assume that your seed can't do anything to my eggs... still since the week is approaching, and now that you know what's going on, I think it might be best if you and I, well... took that next step in our relationship. At least, just once. So my heat doesn't bother me so much. I already have a bunch of infertility potions too. Not sure why I kept them around since no stallion ever got that far... but hey! I have them, so we're all good!"

"Alright Zipp, this is a lot to take in. The fourth base... I've never gotten this close to actual intercourse before. Yes, I know. The super buff, somewhat smart Saiyan not getting a single lay in all of his life? You're pulling my leg! But it's the truth. I just hope I'm ready for that sort of thing. What about Pipp, your sister? If she has the heat too, what's she gonna do?"

"I'm not really sure. I let her do her own thing, so I can't say for sure. I'm not around her enough to see what she does during heat season, we kinda get preoccupied with... you know."

"Indeed... you know I'm really dumb that I didn't figure out that this was the case. Like I said, somewhat smart, yeah? hah... Anyway, I'm gonna see what your mother and sister are up to, might fly back to Maretime Bay while I'm at it. I'll speak to you again later, Zipp." Zipp nodded as Cyre knelt, gripping the sides of her face by the cheeks, before going in for a sensual kiss, albeit a brief one. With that, he left Zipp's room and started to search for Pipp, which wasn't too difficult since he can sense energy. It didn't take long for him to make his way to Pipp's room. On his way there, he saw Queen Haven... and Alphabittle, walking together. Cyre's curiosity got the better of him, walking over to the pair. Once he called out to them they froze in their tracks.

"Alphabittle, my man! How have you been? What brought you out here to Zephyr heights?"

"Oh! well... you see. I and the queen here have a bit of a relationship going on. It started a while ago actually. Before you came to Bridlewood again, I came to Zephyr Heights for negotiations. By the end of it though... well..."

"...I see. I hope the lay was pretty good. And I imagine you'll be getting more in the coming weeks. Maybe too much more. I might have some action going on myself." That little comment made Haven immediately snap towards Cyre’s direction, with a shocked expression.

“What did you just say? If I heard correctly, you’re planning on laying with my daughter?!?”

“Not for pleasure, at least not fully. You’re going into heat, right? Zipp’s heat is t starting to bother her though it isn’t heat season yet. We both talked it over this morning. If Zipp isn’t planning on getting pregnant then I’m her best choice. I’m a different species entirely, so no chance of that happening. Zipp also has infertility potions, so double safety. I think we’ll be ok.,I can’t say the same for Pipp though. I was walking to her room to talk to her about it to see if she already had a way of dealing with it.”

“That’s… actually a good point. But what I said before still stands. If I find out that you’ve harmed my daughter or taken advantage of her, you’ll be hearing from me!”

“As I said before, we’ve talked about it, and if it does officially get to that point which it will, you have my promise that I won’t hurt her. If you’re done, I’ll be going. See you both later. And Alphabittle… good luck on further “negotiations” with Haven the next few weeks.” He waved a hand goodbye as Alphabittle sat there flustered before being dragged himself alongside Haven to do who knows what. Cyre eventually made his way to Pipp’s room, to which he was about to knock on the door. Before he did though, he heard a repressed moan coming from her room, and he faintly heard squelching noises. Cyre blushed at that fact, as he knew instantly that she was masturbating. His resolve was unfazed though, before he knocked in the door. He heard Pipp gasp in response, and a thud as she fell off what was most likely her bed, which made her “oof!” In dazed pain. She quickly made her way to the door, to which she opened it just slightly to see Cyre.

“Uh… can I help you?”

“Pipp… you don’t hide the fact that your beating yourself off very well, I hope you know that.”

“How dare you claim I’m doing something like that!” That’s when she opened the door fully, and that’s where she made her mistake. Her hair was a bit less organized, she had a slight blush, one of her front hooves still has visible slicks of her juices, she couldn’t keep herself quite steady, abs her tail was raised a bit higher than normal. Not to mention her wings were erect and weren’t going down. Cyre just sighed and laid it out on the table.

“Pipp, you have fluids on your right front hood, you’re blushing, your legs are shaking constantly, and your tail is raised, and wings erect. Could you not lie please, you’re really bad at it.”

“…Fine! You caught me! Now what do you want? It better be good if you had to interrupt my private time! It’s not exactly easy dealing with what’s going on with me lately!”

“You’re going through your estrus cycle, I am aware now. Your sister told me about it, which is why I came. I was gonna see if you had your own way of dealing with it, and possibly see if I could somehow help.”

“You’re dating my sister! It seems a little weird that you’d wanna help me, and not her.”

“Well, I’m just offering help, I never said you had to accept. But as for Zipp, I’ll definitely help her the best way I can, under safe conditions mind you. But as for you? You don’t have a boyfriend that I know of, so you’re kinda on your own.”

“You worry too much. I’ll be just fine Cyre, I don’t wanna intrude into your relationship. You may be a strange choice for my sister, but you’ll always have my support if it makes Zipp happy. And I made it through my last heat season well enough, I can do it now. You two can have fun during the coming week, I’ll just stay here…”

“…I’m not convinced, but I won’t pry, if you can truly handle it, then no problem. I’ll do my best to avoid you until the passing of heat season. That sound fair?”

“Completely.” Pipp then slowly turned around and walked back to bed, and this allowed Cyre a full view of her rear and her marehood for brief moment as she closed the door and locked it, before she got back into bed and got back to what she was doing before Cyre interrupted her. With that, Cyre went back to Zipp’s room to find her sleeping. Choosing not to bother her quite yet he decided to stand on the wall outside he’d door to check on Hitch. They hadn’t spoken in a good while, so it couldn’t hurt. After all, he was a stallion, and heat season was almost here. Using his phone, he tried to get hitch to pick up. He picked up the second time he tried.

“Cyre! I haven’t heard from you in a long time! I hope Zephyr Heights is treating you well!”

“As well as it always does, Hitch. I just hope you’re aware of what’s happening in the next few days. Something tells me you’ll have a lot more duties coming up then just your usual litter violations.”

“Yes… the subject of the heat season. I’ve been putting it off, but it’s getting much to close for me to ignore now. If you’re worried about me, or Sunny and Izzy, don’t worry. We’ve got it all figured out.”

“What, did you all come together and agree on a threesome? Bear in mind that I’m not teasing you, I’m actually wondering if that’s what you came up with.”

“Well… yeah. It’s a temporary type of thing though. After everything has passed, Sunny and Izzy will be back to just the two of them.”

“Good to know. I’m actually really glad that Sunny got over her fears and let Izzy know how she felt about her. That takes an awful lot of courage.”

“Sure does. Just think if I told sprout that I was gay, I don’t think he’d like that very much. Regardless, we’re all still good friends, regardless of sexuality, and it’ll stay that way, mark my words.”

“Here here, Hitch. Just stay safe okay? I’ve got my own issues with Zipp that are coming my way soon. I’ll contact you later, I’m gonna go lay down with her for tonight, I’ll need the rest. You’ll probably need some as well.”

“You know it won’t happen. I technically shouldn’t have answered this call as I’m actually still at work. But hey, I’m the sheriff, I can take a few small liberties can’t I?”

“I suppose so. I’ll see you around then.” With that, Cyre hung up the phone and made his way back into the room. Pulling up the covers, Cyre took off most of his clothing save his underwear and climbed in, holding Zipp’s chest to his chest. Zipp smiled as one of her wings wrapped around the side of Cyre, instinctively snuggling into his chest. Cyre, before going to sleep, made one final comment, though it was quiet enough not for Zipp to hear.

“This next week… is gonna be interesting. I just hope it’s not in a bad way…”
