Chapter 1: When you Glitch out of Reality

Load Full StoryNext Chapter

Lights flashed across the screen as Button Mash, true to his name, slammed his fingers hard against the buttons of the arcade in front of him. Silverstream, just next to him casually moved her joystick and slowly pushed buttons on her side of the machine. They were currently playing some racing game with Silverstream clearly in the lead.

"Better count those quarters now, looks like I am gonna win that soda from you." Silverstream said with a laugh.

Button whipped a bead of sweat from his forehead, as he returned to his death grip on the joystick. "Its not over yet, I can still catch up. You still have one of the hardest turns on this track. Its gonna slow you down!"

Silverstream shook her head. "Not if I don't have to turn."

"What?"

Button Mash felt his jaw drop as Silverstream's car smashed through a guardrail, before bouncing off another one immediately, causing the car to glitch out as she ran with her cars momentum right through a wall. The screen seemed to glitch out for a second before the word "Finish" flashed across both their screens.

Player 2 wins!

Button reached down past his greasy grey shirt and into the pockets of his old torn jeans. "You gotta be kidding me." He was down to 2 bits. Just enough to buy a soda.

"I'd say you cheated... But we both know it wouldn't mean anything. The bet was first person to the finish line. You made it to the finish line." He said dejected.

Silverstream turned to him, her off the shoulder light shirt with a rainbow of colors across it seemed to brighten a bit as she reached into the pockets of her baggy jean shorts. "Good thing too, looks like I am out of bits." She gave him another grin.

Button rolled his eyes. The two soon made their way to the back of the arcade towards a small room that housed the vending machines. Button glanced at the arcade machines as he passed. He could not believe he spent so much time with Silverstream playing them all. They had become fast friends over their love of games, Silverstream first getting into them as a newbie with Button showing her the ropes only for her to catch on quickly and almost surpass him. Though he was happy to have a hot friend to hang out and rival with, he had been wanting to ask her out for some time.

She was just on another level than him though, sure they were around the same age, with her only slightly older. But her escapades as a hero and a bit of an adventurer sort of made him feel like she may be out of his league. So instead, he woulda just enjoy her company whenever he could and admire from where he stood.

He glanced over at Silverstream, her eccentric figure, her spunky perky B-cup breasts and wonderful athletic ass that bounced slightly as she bounded with him towards their destination. He loved her figure about as much as he did her up beat attitude.

As the two drew closer, Button reached into his pocket, pulling out his last two bits. Silverstream pointed to the grape soda towards the back corner of the machine. "That one looks good."

"Coming right up." Button answered as he put the coins in, pushing the numbers for the correct soda and watching the can fall to the bottom. As Button reached down to grab it, his foot caught the edge of a tear in the carpet. Button felt himself lose his balance as he wobbled in an attempt to regain his footing, only to feel himself begin to fall towards the wall beside them. Silverstream reached out to try and stop him, grabbing his hand in an attempt to help pull him away, only for her to lose her footing as well.

As Button waited for the impending impact of the wall, his eyes shot open is surprise as he felt the air continue to dance past his head. His hat fell off as he found himself go through the wall and the floor, dragging Silverstream with him.
He felt a whoosh of air fly past him for a few seconds as he trying to grab onto something but failed. Only to suddenly feel a splash of warm water as he landed onto his back in knee deep water.

A second splash next to him being Silverstream who let go and landed beside him, her splash causing some more water to wash over him. He blinked in surprise, trying to comprehend what the heck just happened to him. He was staring up at a sky blue ceiling and walls made of tannish tile. The floor was a smooth concrete, was wet and nothing about what just happened to him and Silverstream made any sense.

"What just happened?" Button blurted out loud, sitting up slowly in the surprisingly warm water.

Silverstream quickly rose up next to him. "I think we just fell through the floor... Didn't know we could do that in real life too."

Button Mash slowly stood up and looked around. "Its usually not possible... But that seems to be what just happened. But where the heck are we? I know there isn't a basement in the arcade and I can remember this being an open fair grounds when I was a kid before they built it. So there shouldn't be anything under it."

Silverstream put a claw to her chin as she slowly stood up, water dripping off of her as looked around. "Well, we certainly aren't anywhere I have ever been in this town before." She looked up. "No hole where we fell through either. Its like we really did just glitch through the wall and floor."

Button did his best to try and process this as he stood up next to her, attempting to ring out his shirt as the walked over and patted the wall. It felt pretty solid. He tried to jump up and touch the ceiling but found it out of reach. He quickly searched his pockets but found them empty.

"Got anything you can throw, I want to see if if there is some way of getting back through where we fell."

Silverstream reached into her baggy shorts and pulled out the inside of the pockets. "Sorry, I only took some extra bits to the arcade today."

Button frowned as he thought for a moment. "Guess I can try and throw my shirt." He quickly pulled it off, knowing that it was wet enough that if he put it together into a ball, he could feasibly throw it. After taking a few seconds to really mash his shirt together, he aimed high and chucked it as hard as he could. The ball of cloth hit the ceiling with a soft 'splotch' noise. It did not go through and seemed just as solid as the walls. It then quickly fell back down.

As it landed next to him with a small splash, he groaned. "Ugh, well worth a shot."

Silverstream raised an eyebrow as she looked him over. "Wow, never realized you were so skinny."

Button felt his cheeks flush a bit as he grunted. "Well yeah, walking to the arcade every day will help keep you in decent shape even if you are snacking all the time."

She nodded slowly. "Makes sense, as a bird with an affiliation towards sweets, its only thanks to swimming I can keep this look going." She gestured to herself.

Button did his best not to stare for too long as he turned back towards the long corridor. "In any case, we mind as well see where this leads. Maybe we can figure a way out of here."

Silverstream looked in front and behind her. "Which way do we go?"

Button Mash glanced behind him and saw the tunnel grow slowly darker the farther it went on, meanwhile the way ahead seemed to have some sort of light to help see along the way. "We don't have a flashlight and we are likely to get lost in a dark corridor so lets stick with the path that looks like it has some light."

Button bent down and began to roll up his jeans to his knees. "I hope this whole place isn't this flooded, walking around in wet clothes can suck after awhile."

Silverstream crossed her arms. "Well back home when we lived under water, not very many hypogryphs wore much outside of sea shell bikinis and seaweed. I am no prude if you want to ditch a few articles." She said this with a smile.

Button couldn't tell if she was joking or not. But in either case, he wasn't sure if he was ready to follow his scantily clade friend to who knows where just yet. "Lets save that as a last resort." He felt his face go a bit red as an image of Silverstream in a sexy sea shell bikini flashed into his mind. Shaking his head, he began to move forward, carefully stomping through the water.

Silverstream looked disappointed but followed. The two walked together in awkward silence for a solid ten minutes. The long hallway extend down for quite a way. Occasionally the pink lights would cause Button to glance out, hoping to see something. Like a sunset perhaps as the lights almost reminded him of windows. He couldn't figure out how or why this place was setup the way it was. He turned a corner and came down an odd site.

The floor went up out of the water finally but then sank but back down a spiral staircase that lead down into a deep pool. The rooms walls were smooth and a pinkish-purple light lit up the room.

Silverstream held up her hand. "Hold on, let me see if this actually leads somewhere."

She touched her necklace as magic began to dance around her body. She jumped forward but as she did so, even Button could tell something was off. The magic seemed to ripple, like as if it were struggling to take effect. As Silverstream dove into the water, there was weird flash of light. Button watched as she seemed to twist and turn for a moment in confusion, her movements looking off. She soon emerged back towards the surface of the water, coughing.

"That was weird." She muttered before glancing down at herself. "And that is even weirder."

Button took a step forward, the water as clear enough her could see her features somewhat. Instead of seeing a tail just below her thighs, he instead saw legs with fins, as well as webbed hands instead of the normal fins for hands as well. She clearly had gills around her neck but that was it. Also her shorts had come loose as the transformation usually transformed around her body but this time changed in spite of it. He could just make out some pink panties beneath the water.

Button's face lit up again. "What happened?" He said, trying very hard to look at her face and not the wet form below the rippling water. Was her shirt always almost see through?!

"No idea, the magic of the gem seemed strained in some way. This makes me wonder if we are somewhere outside of Equestria. Equestrian magic usually works no matter what unless we are too far away from it."

Button turned around an began to pace, hoping to get his mind off of Silverstream. "If we are going off the idea we somehow glitched out of our reality, that would make sense. Like we loaded into the wrong area in a video game and things aren't functioning as intended."

Silverstream raised her arm above the water and waved. "You keep thinking on that, I'm gonna see how far down this pool goes."

Button watched her disappear and swim down, getting a quick glance at her ass in the process. He shook his head. "I may be a horny mess at times but damn it feels like its... Heavier today for some reason."

He bent down and felt the water with his hand. "Don't know what it is about this place but seeing the clear water and only the sounds of it... Its almost calming if a bit eerie." An imagine of Silverstream soaking wet body entered his mind again as he attempted to shake the image. "Also horny for some reason."

He glanced around. "I wonder how far this place goes on? So far we have seen so little yet without windows its hard to tell what day it is here or even exactly where we are. I can't help but feel tense for some reason too. There is just something about this place..."

Button looked back at the pool as Silverstream's head poked out of the water. "This place goes down a bit but there is a door at the bottom that leads to another pool that is more open air. That room then seems to lead into a place full of small pools that kind of look like hot tubs. But all seem to be connected together into one very large pool. Its weird. But either way, there are these weird pool lights that will light our way at least. How long can you hold your breath?"

Button thought for a moment. The other way was still dark and if this was the only way forward... "Um... Not long. I was never a great swimmer either."

Silverstream turned around. "Then how about you hold onto my shoulders and I will get you where we need to go. I have years of practice."

Button hesitated. "Um... If you are sure..." He felt his shirt leave his grip.

Silverstream motioned him to join her. He slowly moved forward, feeling his dick go harder as he moved down the stairs, the body of his crush was practically on full display. He could see her lovely ass, her breasts through the thin fabric of her shirt, that wonderful face of joy despite their odd situation. He loved ever bit of it.

As he sank into the water, he found himself wishing he could just loose the stupid jeans as they were starting to feel uncomfortable in the water and a certain appendage crying out for release.

He did his best to doggy paddle over to Silverstream and gripped her shoulders. He had never been this close to her outside of a brief hug. It felt weird though a bit exciting.

"Alright Button, take a deep breath and hold I tight, I am a fast swimmer."

Button nodded and took a deep breath. Silverstream took that as a sign to go ahead and dove back down underneath the water. Silence soon covered his senses as the hypogryph turned and began to began to move quickly downwards. Button had to really grip hard as he was surprised at how quickly her body moved. Her arms and legs were like clockwork, moving in strong motions, hard pushes with her arms and quick movements with her fin covered legs. He had to strain to keep his eyes open as the water pushed hard against them. She was really moving fast.

Lights seemed to fly past them as Button felt his jeans begin to loosen, but her dared not to try and hold on to them for fear of losing his grip. Even as the force pulling against him caused a feeling of them to push down to his ankles, the freedom that he felt in that moment, actually caused him to push them the rest of the way off. Now feeling the full force of the water around him, Button couldn't help but feel some of his tense energy leave him.

Soon the two reached the bottom and Silverstream swam through an open door into what looked like a large pool with a ladder going up. Silverstream swam towards it, soon making her way up into the new room and breaking through the water near the top. Button gasped and breathed in some much needed air.

He grinned. "Ok, that was kind of fun."

Silverstream turned an smiled back. "I know right, this place is awesome so far."

Button let go and reached out for the latter, quickly pulling himself out before turned back and holding out a hand for Silverstream who gladly took it. A small flash surrounded her as she grasped her necklace, transforming back into her hybrid form. As the two made their way out of the pool, they turned to see a large room filled with bubbling hot tubs and corridors on the north, east and west sides of the room. The room was lit by sky windows letting in some pink and slight purple like glow.

Silverstream glanced down and chuckled. "Guess I went a little too fast huh?"

Button knew what she was talking about without having to glad down, his boxers being the only thing he had left on him at this point. His shirt he had accidently also let go of before their dash down the deep pool.

"Yeah but... I know this is gonna sound weird but... I am ok with that. If this is how the whole place is, I would rather hang out like this anyways. This feels... Nice."

Button found his face growing flushed as he stared over at the lovely woman next to him, seeing her shirt cling to her figure.

She turned and nodded. "This place is amazing. What do you say we take a break and try out one of those warm small pools. Can't help but notice you've been a bit tense lately."

Button raised an eyebrow. "Well, who wouldn't be trapped in a crazy world outside their own, filled with weird pools and having to stare at a hot chick the whole time." Even as the words left his mouth he tried to bite his tongue. Did he really just say that? He had no idea how he let that last bit slip.

Silverstream put her arm around his shoulder. "So you do think I am hot, huh?" She grinned before letting him go and strode forward towards the middle of the small pools. "I had a feeling but I am glad I got some confirmation from you."

Then she transformed and hopped in, diving deep into the middle. Button glanced on in, seeing that there was seating and a step below them before the pool opened up to a large area below them lit by very bright looking lights.

Button bent down and tested the water with his hand, finding it to feel almost like bath water. He blinked in surprise before slowly slipped into the pool. As his body felt the warm water start to ease some tension, he sat back and sighed. As weird as their situation was, there was no denying that the place they were in did seem really peaceful so far.

A bit of movement caught this eye coming from the far side of the room but as he turned to look, he saw nothing. Deciding his mind was playing tricks on him, he turned just in time to see Silverstream leap out of one pool and use the momentum to land into the pool next to it. Her dive was graceful to say the least and he watched as she repeated this trick again.

Button found himself clapping to her display. She soon swam over to his pool, hovering just below the water looking smug.
The young stallion couldn't help but really stare at the figure below him. She looked like a siren, her beauty unmatched as she floated beneath the water. There was no doubt that his boxers were pitching one heck of a tent at this point as well.

Silverstream slowly rose out of the water in front of him, her head staying just above water while allowing her gills to stay just below it. "Hey..." She said slowly.

"Hey... You having fun?"

Silverstream nodded. "The best but I can't help but notice you are still tense. Would you like me to help with that?" Her eyes seemed go sensual causing Button Mash to gulp.

Button loudly sighed. "Doubt you are gonna be able to help me with this one." He blushed and did his best to look away but his eyes glanced back down at the bird-fish currently staring at him.

Silverstream smirked. "Wanna bet?" She slipped back beneath the water for a second before she suddenly showed up with her head between his legs. Button could see here bare back and ass and realized she was now completely naked. Feeling his heart kick itself up a notch, the tent in his boxers seemed to only grow.

Silverstream looked up and locked eyes with him, nodding slightly before reaching up and slowly pulled his boxers down, freeing the prize that sprang out to great her. Button let out a low moan, glad to finally feel some freedom. But that moan turned to something else as he felt her tongue slowly run down his shaft. Button breathed in deeply, watching as Silverstream slowly dragged her tongue over the tip of his full mast.

"Oh my..." Button felt like his greatest dreams had come true in that moment.

Silverstream opened her beak and slowly began to take him into her maw. As his tip began to extend down her throat, Button could only gasp and moan at the sensation. She slowly took him all in, Button surprised at the fact she wasn't gagging at all. Sure those gills were helping her breath but still, something was blocking those pipes and yet she didn't seem to have a care in the world.

If anything, she seemed turned on by it. As she slowly began to work her head back and forth in a slow motion, her talons were slowly working their way over her body. Caressing her right breast with her right talons while slowly dragging her left talons between her legs.

Button carefully grasped Silverstream's head, feeling her begin to really push and pull, building up a steady rhythm.
Back and forth she went, keeping her eyes locked on his, he smiled and happily moaned. So many months of pent up affection and here she was giving him the best underwater blow job he had ever experienced. Her inner wall felt tight as she massage his tense member, feeling the pleasure build as he let out low gasp.

Soon she began to really picking up her pace, slamming his dick in as far as she could. As Button felt his dick receive one heck of a message, all the tense energy seemed to buildup as he felt his climax come crashing up to meet him.

"S-Silverstream!" He moaned, there was no stopping it. He felt his organism slam into him like a wave, as Silverstream greedily deep throated him, taking in as much as she could. Button felt himself cum harder than he ever had up till that point. Hands didn't do this feeling justice. Even as some of it escaped her nose, he was impressed with how much she managed to take. As she slowly dislodged herself, she transformed and slowly rose up out of the water.

She sat down next to him, let out a low hum as she slowly licked her beak. "Feeling better?"

Button slowly nodded and leaned back. "Best I have felt in years actually. You are amazing."

Silverstream put her talons behind her head. "Thanks, I've practiced with toys before but never done anything like that." She eyed his still very hard cock. "Wanna go for a round 2?"

Button grinned. "I don't see why not."

Silverstream slowly crept back over, positioning herself over his still surprisingly long rod. "You're still hard?"

Button grinned. "Yeah, hard not to be when I have a hot friend hovering over it."

She reached down and grabbed his wonderful tool, positioning it between her legs, her moist cavern practically begging for it as the need to be filled soon filled her mind. She slowly sank down onto it, feeling her walls tighten around it as Button let out a low moan in satisfaction.

"Woah, this is way better than any toy." She said with a low moan of her own. She sank down deeper, slowly taking more in as Button put his hand behind his head, enjoying the feeling.

Silverstream panted. "You can touch them... If you want."

Button eyed those perky breasts and licked his lips. His hand slowly worked their way back forward, soon pressing against those soft cushions. "I know they aren't much but..."

Button shook his head. "Nah, these are great. I am more interested in the smoking cool hypogryph attached to them anyways."

"Aw, just for that, I am totally going to make sure you get off first." She said as she slowly pulled herself up before slamming back down again, both letting out a low gasp in the process.

Silverstream leaned forward a bit. "What do you say you grip my ass and help us both get to fun finish?"

"Don't have to tell me twice." Button was pretty sure he had a wet dream about this once. But now it was finally coming true. Gripping that wonderful ass, his fingers digging into it as the panting hypogryph began to slowly work her way up and down in a steady rhythm.

Water began to splash around them as Silverstream picked up the pace. Gasping and moaning as she penetrated herself over and over again on that lovely rod. Button was in heaven as he felt his ball begin to ache. "Silverstream... I'm close."

"Do it... Fill me up." She said with hard moan.

Button nodded. "Here in comes. AHHH."

Silverstream felt a white load splash deep into her core as she felt her own body orgasm like a crashing wave. The two almost went hoarse as they moaned in unison.

After taking a few seconds to catch their breaths, they stared at each other. "Wow." Button Mash said at last.

Silverstream slowly dislodged herself, noticing a bit of white coming leaking out as she did so. "Wow is right. That felt awesome." She slowly got up and sat down next to him. The two stared off at the pink light above them.

Button finally felt his mind clear a bit. "So are we...?"

"A couple? Not sure. But lets continue to explore one another and see what happens." She grinned. "Not that I am complaining."

Button glanced around him. "So what now?"

Silverstream felt a certain itch between her legs slowly return. "Wanna go again?"

Button Mash felt a grin slowly break across his face. "How about you give me a few minutes. But I'm down."

"Cool cause I have this position I have always wanted to try..."

***

The sounds of a splash soon could be heard in an empty corridor. "Owe..." Came a voice as a purple and white haired individual slowly stood up in the shallow water. "Scootaloo? Apple Bloom?" She called out. No other voices answered her call. Her eyes danced over the strange walls and water filled corridor. "Where... Am I?"


Author's Note

And thus begins a new tale and a new way to explore the Poolrooms. Will this group fare just as well as the last, or will they succumb to their base urges and become forever trapped?

This took so many re-writes before I finally decided on a group of characters I enjoy writing. I originally planned to cover multiple different characters but having to hit the reset button each time got boring fast. So instead, we will have a new adventure with this single group as I have new ideas on how to explore this place and I plan to dive a bit more deeper into some ideas I did not get to cover last time. So hope you all enjoy this new direction.
