Chapter 4: When You Have to Go Deeper

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Sweetie Belle slowly opened her eyes and stretched out. While she was thankful to have something decent to sleep on, she was starting to wish they maybe had a few pillows and blankets. Instead, it was just cuddle up and try to sleep. The artificial lights seem to dim eventually which was the only way to tell if any day had passed. No one ever thought they would miss something so simple as a clock but without an easy way to see the passing of time, it was hard to know when to go to sleep and when to wake up aside from eventual fatigue.

Glancing up at the yellow skylights above, they seemed to be slowly brightening a bit which hopefully meant it was morning. The door to the bathroom suddenly opened with Button sighing, Silverstream following close behind.

He was currently stretching out as well, probably starting to notice how the matrass seemed to leave them with kinks in their backs. They really needed something to soften that up.

Silverstream went over and sat on the bed behind Sweetie Belle, her talons finding their way to her shoulders as she began to rub into them. "Just finished rubbing out Buttons shoulders so I figured you would be needing the same."

"Yeah thanks." She replied. Feeling her muscles loosening a bit did help.

There was the sounds of food dropping as Button went over and selected some food and drink. He soon walked back over with waters and snack bars in his arms. He set them down on the bed before picking out a water bottle.

He took a swig before grunting. "So about that one month coverage... What exactly did you mean by that?"

The unicorn rolled her shoulders. "Mhm... That is thanks to Principle Starlight. Its an anti-fertilization spell. She figured a bunch of horny ponies-er-um-creatures all packed together, some were going to be sexually active. So this was a way to allow us a bit of freedom. But it only lasts one month, after that, we have to go to get it recast. Otherwise, we are just as likely to get knocked up as anyone."

Button raised an eyebrow to that. "Interesting, but what if we are here more than a month?"

She paused and thought for a moment. "Guess we will cross the bridge when we come to it."

Sweetie Belle leaned forward and grabbed two water bottles, passing one back to Silverstream who accepted it, gladly.
"So..." She took a sip. "What is the plan for today?"

Button downed the rest of his water bottle before setting it in a small pile off of the side. He then went over and grabbed the drawing off of the vending machine. "We are gonna find this room. Its the only thing we have to go on."

He raised up the drawing and pointed at the chest. "I am willing to bet there is something in there that is going to help us. So lets not waste any time. Today we officially start adventuring this place."

The unicorn sighed and rolled her shoulders. "Sounds good to me."

Silverstream nodded behind her. All three finished breakfast and were soon on there way, with Button making sure to put the drawing back before they left. They soon made there way, quickly swimming across the large pool full of statues. Sweetie Belle couldn't help but notice some of her aches seemed to vanish as she swam. A part of her wondered if there was a connection there she was not seeing. It did seem like the water was making her feel good things whenever she was in it. Could just be her imagination though.

As they made their way across, Button climbed up onto the ledge and began reaching his arms out to help both woman out of the pool at the same time. Once out, they soon came to another door. This one as made of glass though it was the kind made with a blurring effect you could not see through.

Button Mash pulled on the latching, opening it and was surprised to feel a rush of warm air go past him. All three soon entered and felt her jaws hit the ground. The room was big.

Large windows lined the back, spilling in blue lighting but also had yellow lights hanging above. There was a massive water themed play area in the middle including water squirters, fountains and rope climbable's. There was a massive bucket on top and just below it, a water slide that went into some other room through a decent sized hole in the wall. The place was surrounded by knee high water and had shower heads spilling out water as well as more fountain of various sizes.

The walls were painted white but had pictures of various beach themed items such as beach balls and snow cones. On one side, there also seemed to be a small balcony, almost like one you would see in an hotel but there was only the single one there, just a ways up towards the middle of the wall. It had a door and a long railing with small windows that appeared to be lit up.

Sweetie Belle stared hard, trying to see anything beyond the windows but it was hard to tell from where she was standing. She soon felt her excited friend push past her.

Silverstream became giddy as she ran over to the nearest climbable and began to work her way up it. Button Mash held out his hand to try and stop her but she was half way up before he could even react.

Sweetie Belle put a hand on his shoulder. "We might as well have a little fun while we look for it. She'll be ready to move on in a bit."

He sighed and nodded. Sweetie Belle slowly walked forward, admiring the rest of the area. The floor was colored a light blue and the pipes running up the structure seemed to be colored in bright colors. A rainbow of reds, blues, greens, and yellows. The play area itself looked like something that would be seen at some sort of indoor resort. There was a weird feeling in that.

She had never been naked to a water park before but this is what it felt like. Even though it was just them, it still felt a little exciting if a bit exposing to be wondering around like this. Still though, there was no denying this unique feeling was also kind of fun and a part of her wished they could just spend all day here. As she neared the back side of the structure, a blast of warm water slammed right into her back. She turned around, just in time to get sprayed in the face by a water squirter. She shook her head and wiped some of the water off. "Oh, you are not going to be getting away with that!" She said with a laugh. Silverstream let out loud war cry as she ran to grab another water squirter farther up. "YAAA!"

Button could be seen running to get ahead of her as he found a rope attached to a small bucket. He pulled it just as she reached the next squirter, water raining down onto her.

"Hey, you know this means war, right?" She called, pushing her long hair aside as she now stood soaked to the bone.

She dove for the squirter, turning it around just enough to slam water against Button's leg. "Oh it is on!" He quickly ran up a few stairs, finding another squirter and returning fire. Water splashed across her breasts and face as she shook her head.
"Just wait, I see a big rope at the top. If I get there first, I win this war!"

Button grinned. "Oh yeah? I am already farther up, look who is about to lose this war!"

As the two quickly began climbing the rest of the way, Sweetie Belle now stood at the top. Having climbed up the opposite side, she now stood near the rope.

She grinned manically as she waited for the two to come up just close enough to see her. They both paused as they met on the same platform only to see Sweetie Bell holding the rope.

Silverstream turned to Button Mash. "It seems we got out played." Her voice rose to epic fashion. "In our haste to beat each other, we forgot about our true enemy on the sidelines!"

Sweetie Belle laughed like a villain as she pulled the rope, watching as the giant bucket above came spilling over. Both Silverstream and Button were nearly knocked off their hooves as a torrent of water rained down on them.

Quickly, the water dispersed, leaving the two still standing there but completely soaked. Silverstream pushed her long hair back while Button shook his head and arms. "Well played." They both said in unison.

Sweetie Belle's laughter soon turned back to normal as she leaned against the railing. "Ha... Ok... That was fun."

Silverstream nodded. "This is the most fun I have ever had. As crazy as our situation is, I am glad I get to spend if with the both of you."

Sweetie Belle blushed a bit at that. "Awe." She gestured them over. "Come on, lets see where this slide goes."

Silverstream jogged forward up the rest of the stairs and soon stood next to her, she sat down while gesturing for Sweetie Belle to join her up in front. The unicorn nodded and carefully sat down between her legs, feeling the hippogryph's breasts against her back.

Button soon caught up and sat down behind Silverstream who let out low chuckle. "Gees, I can feel that. Already that horny, huh?"

Button blushed a bit. "You try being me and watching two hot naked woman getting wet this much and not get super horny."

He shifted, his dick was now bouncing against her butt and back. Silverstream playfully scooted back a bit, feeling Button's tool bounce against it more. He let out a low moan as Silverstream was clearly contemplating getting up and sitting on it.

Sweetie Belle rolled her eyes. "Just sit tight, we still have some exploring to do, remember? Can't go having sex every few minutes or we will never get anywhere."

Silverstream sighed and gave up on her teasing. She hugged Sweetie Belle closer though, those crazy talons seemed to purposefully clench around her breasts, causing her to let out a low huff. It seemed she had found a new target.

"Fine." He looked disappointed but upon noticing what Silverstream was doing, slowly turned into a grin as he pushed forward, the three were soon sent downwards and past some sharp turns. Their speed picking up quickly as they shot their way down. Two more hard turns that they had to struggle not to fall over thanks to it, and soon they were through the hole.

The next room had them splashing into a small rectangle shaped pool just knee deep. They stopped with a wave of water sent tumbling forward, splashing small waves around them. Sweetie Belle felt Silverstream give one last firm squeeze before letting her go. She sighed and stood up, debating on teasing back but decided to focus on the task at hand.

The room itself had chairs set up with tables and umbrellas. The room was fairly small. There were three doors. One clearly leading back into the indoor water park room made of blurry glass, and two that looked different from one another. One door was to the right and one to the middle. The door on the right was made of hard wood while the one in the middle was made of the same blurry glass as earlier, but had a more bluish coloration to it.

All three got up and slowly went over to the wooden door as they could hear something coming from the other side. It sound like wind and low rumbling.

Sweetie Belle moved closer to the wall next to it, listening and nearly knocking over a vase full of umbrellas. She bent down to try and stabilize the wobbling vase before grabbing out an umbrella. There was a tiny note attached to it. "Something to keep you dryer in the storm."

She looked back at her friends and smiled. She pointed at the note. "I think we found our room."

Button nodded and went to open the door. It led into a tiny hallway with another door just like it on the other side. There was a note on the floor. Button bent down and picked it up. The hallway was dark, the walls painted black and a single small light hung above. He held it up, barely managing to make it out.

"I have left the contents in a good spot but made a mistake later on. Be careful not to stay in too long. The water has a high concentration of [something] here." He read out loud.

Button squinted. "Can't make out that second to last word. It looks like they tried to scribble it out." He soon gave up, passing the note over to Sweetie Belle who looked it over as well. Silverstream glanced at it too over her shoulder.

Both struggled to make out anything more. Sweetie turned and left the note on a nearby table. She shrugged her shoulders as she turned back around. "Guess we just need to be careful and not stay too long."

Silverstream hesitated. "Think this was written by your Changeling friend or someone else?"

The unicorn seemed to pause as well before shrugging her shoulders again. "She's the only other person we... I have seen around here."

Button nodded before glancing back. "Still the best we have to go on. We'll just grab what we need and go." He then turned the latch and opened the door. What he was met with caused him to pause. Rain was coming down from the ceiling via an elaborate sprinkler system. There were clouds painted on the dark blue painted walls. Thunder could be heard coming from some loud speakers in the distance. A occasional light or two would flicker in the corner, simulating lighting. The room itself was very dimly lit and the water was churning slightly but there was no breeze.

Silverstream let out a low whistle. "Wish I had a room like this back home."

SB stepped forward and opened the umbrella. "Hopefully this will help keep us from getting too wet while we are in here, just stay close." As rain began to pitter and patter over her umbrella, her friends drew near and began to slowly walk into the middle of the room. It seemed like a decent sized room but the dim lighting was making it hard to tell for sure. There was no sign of a chest yet.

As they slowly walked on, Sweetie Belle found herself gaining a weird euphoria about this room. The way that the warm water seemed to splash at her legs, the sounds that reminded her of running around and splashing in big puddles during a rain storm. Huddling close to a fire as a storm went over her house. All these feelings and more, all in a room made to simply simulate it. Everything felt fake yet that didn't seem to matter. The feelings they provoked felt real enough. It was like every room they had come to was supposed to evoke a feeling of some kind or something.

Button, who was in the lead, suddenly let out a low gasp as he slipped into the water, splashing a great deal of it as he disappeared for a second before he came back sputtering water. "Gah, there's a drop off there. Watch it!"

Silverstream bent down and stuck her arm in, sure enough, there was a decent drop off not even a step more than where she was standing.

"Are you alright?" Sweetie Belle asked, taking another step while being careful not to step off herself. Now concerned with what the note had said earlier.

Button scratched his head. "Uh... Yeah, I feel fine." He ran his hands over his body, unsure of what he was supposed to be looking out for.

"Hey... Maybe the chest is underwater?" Silverstream suggested, now slipping into the water to look. "Give me a second." Her head slipped beneath the water.

Sweetie Belle held out her hand. "Wait, maybe you two should get out of there. We don't know for sure what this place could be doing to us right now. Maybe we should be getting out soon."

Button shook his head. "But what if it is down there. We may be able to get out faster if we all look."

She still looked concerned but nodded. He was right. And it really did seem like it wasn't doing anything to them. She carefully set the umbrella off to the side. As the water hit her body, she couldn't help but notice just how good it felt. She stood there for a moment, taking in the feeling of the warm water running over her naked form. She closed her eyes for a second, really feeling those drops running over her head and down her back. It really did feel like she was standing in a summer rain storm.

She then opened her eyes, remembering her task at hand. She took a small leap forward, water splashed around her, finding that it was just deep enough to go up to her neck. She took in a deep breath and sank beneath the water. It was very dark but she just just make out Silverstream attempting to move something. She swam over, seeing that sure enough, it looked like an old chest. Button joined her and together they lifted the chest upwards. Once it was released from the ground, it seemed to float up on its own. The three friends came up for air, then pushed it to the ledge, slowly pushing it up and over.

Just as Sweetie Belle was about to get out and pull it the rest of the way, she felt a weird sensation come over her senses. She felt warm... Like really warm. She shook her head, trying to get a grasp on her mind. She laughed, suddenly finding something funny in the way she felt.

Her vision had become hazy while her moves felt a bit sluggish. She almost felt drunk in a way. But that wasn't quite it either. The water was seemingly becoming warmer as well. Her nether regions were starting to feel needy as a high sense of horniness seemed to permeate her mind.

Button was now behind her, feeling up her breasts. Squishing them and squeezing them while slowly dragging his dick between her legs. Silverstream meanwhile was currently watching on, her arm going up and down as she was clearly playing with herself.

"Sorry..." Button said slowly, sluggishly. "Just... Feeling... Really..." He paused. Unable to find the right word. All he knew was that he felt really pent up all of a sudden. Every time he dragged his dick between her legs he felt a jolt of excitement run through his system. "Turned on..." He said at last.

Silverstream chuckled. "Same... Just need to... Oh yeah." Her face was now red and she seemed lost for a moment. Her talons were going to town between her legs while she felt a need to be filled slowly taking over her mind.

Sweetie Belle clutched at the ledge. Her mind was struggling to make sense of what was happening. She knew she needed to do something but what that something was... It was just not there. She couldn't recall what she was doing. She did need that dick to stop rubbing though and just... Get inside already.

She hummed to herself, pushing her butt back a bit, hoping Button would get the memo. He seemed to pick up on it, grasping her body as he reared back, his spear quickly went in. She let out loud moan, feeling her mind go even more hazy as a result. But feeling that dick now inside her felt more right somehow.

He began to pump in and out, over and over again. His movement felt sluggish and jerky but she was loving it all the same. This wonderful tool was going deeper and deeper, driving her mind to want it more and more. He was now love biting her neck, gently moaning into her skin, constantly humping over and over again.

Sweetie Belle was a dripping horny mess. She barely felt the rain any more, just his wonderful cock pounding her insides with reckless abandon. She bent forward a bit more, water lapping against her chin, wanting nothing more than for him to go deeper. Her mouth was opening a bit. She was panting.

Pleasure wrecked her senses. His hands were grasping her tighter, she could feel his strong body working against her. Never before had she felt so good. The need to be taken like this was taking top priority over everything else.

She blinked for a second, her mind going blank. Next thing she knew, Silverstream was now standing in front of her. She was grasping at Sweetie's breasts, Button was gripping her thighs, really going to town on her. Sweetie Bell felt her beak against her mouth. She slowly began to make out with her, her hands traveling over her soft body.

Her hands traveled south, finding her slick walls and began pumping her fingers into them. Silverstream gave a hearty moan into her mouth. Sweetie Belle just wanted to laugh at the sensation.

Her mind was slipping, she tried to grasp at something but pleasure was her number one feeling. She felt her body shudder as an orgasm crashing through her mind. She could feel something go deep within her core. This caused a hard moan to escape from her mouth. And yet again it went blank.

She blinked a few times, now she was back up on the ledge, her right hand was deep in between her legs. Button was now going to town on Silverstream who was on all fours. She was sitting there, on her knees, watching. She couldn't wait for it to be her turn again. She grasped her right breast with her other hand. She grinned. Another orgasm caused her to cry out and her eyes closed. She fell back, feeling the water cover her for a second before she sat back up again. She felt her consciousness slip for a moment.

Her mind jump started again. Now she was scissoring Silverstream while the hippogryph had her head turned, throat currently taking in Buttons still very hard member. She slammed forward, riding a high she never felt before. She just kept going, over and over. Pleasure dominating every part of her body. Rain continued to pour across her. Her soaked hair now covering her face somewhat but she didn't care. She just wanted to keep going. To keep feeling this burning hot pleasure.

She didn't feel like herself any more. Now she was something else. A feral animal craving senseless pleasure. The desire to be filled. To constantly want nothing more than to be rutted senseless.

She shook her head, the rain seemed to come down harder. She as on all fours. She did not remember how she got in this position. Only that a wonderful cock was pushing in and out, over and over again. Her hair was a disheveled mess. She could feel strong arms around her. The room was somehow darker and she could feel nothing but the plowing sensation of a dominating cock driving itself into her walls, over and over again. Her lungs ached. She was moaning uncontrollably. An warm sensation crashed into her core as she felt warm seed enter deep within her.

As she felt another wave of a an orgasm come crashing into her mind, she felt it slip again. She felt her body fall over.

She shook her head, her mind coming to, only to find she was now against the wall. Button had her pinned while her legs were wrapped tightly around his mid section. He had his eyes closes as he panted and moaned. SB gripped him tighter, his dick was pounding her insides uncontrollably. She could feel something dripping down and out even as he continued to drive himself onwards. She was pretty sure she just came again but was starting to feel a bit numb. Her head drifted back as she closed her eyes again.

When it came back again, she was staring up at the ceiling, her legs felt sore. Scratch that, her whole body felt sore. She was staring up at someone who looked familiar. She seemed to be smiling and shaking her head. Her green eyes seemed to be filled with mirth. She was taking her by the hand. Helping her up... Only for her to feeling her mind slip again. This time she felt like she was falling into a world of pure blackness.

That falling sensation soon ended as Sweetie Belle felt the ground beneath her. She opened her eyes, feeling groggy as her legs and arms felt a bit stiff. She could see a tan wall, a pool with a diving board, and hear the sounds of slow humming vending machines. She was somehow back at the base but she did not remember how she got here. She was laying next to the pool. She hissed and slowly moved to get up. She felt a bit dizzy so she moved to just simply sit with her legs out in front of her and her hands behind her.

She glanced around her, finding Button and Silverstream both passed out on the bed. Sweetie Belle then glanced at the pool and to her surprise, the chest was now floating in the middle of it.

How in the world? What happened?

Sweetie Belle shook her head, trying to recall what she could. Her head spun. She remembered the storm room, getting super horny... Then just bits and pieces after that. For sure remember getting rocked by some crazy sex though. She slowly got down onto her chest and crawled to the pool. Like a snake, she slipped in. A part of her wanted to guzzle down a few bottles of water but the chest was right there. She had to know what the heck it held at this point.

To her even bigger surprise, as she floated in the water, she could feel her body was slowly feeling renewed. Sweetie moved her arms and leg around a bit, surprised at just how much movement she was now able to do. After a few minutes of floating in the water, she almost felt good as new.

She quickly swam over and grabbed onto the chest. She pushed it over to the edge, then after slowly getting out, attempted to pull it out. It was a bit heavy but with a bit of some arm and leg work as well as a strong handle on the side, she managed to get it up and out. She nearly fell on her ass in the process though.

She moved towards the front. She considered waiting till everyone was up and moving but like a kid on Hearthswarming morning, she just couldn't wait.

There was a latch and upon moving it up, the chest seemed to hiss slightly, almost like it was sealed. Opening it revealed some old pillows and blankets on top, as well as some old notes. She set all that off to the side as she searched the rest of the chest. The only other thing she found was an old skeleton key with a string around it.

"Well, I guess we will be keeping an eye out for whatever this thing unlocks later."

She went back over to the notes. She found that most of them did not seem to make much sense but maybe they would eventually. Such as one note mentioning a door underwater and another one talking about a wonky blue slide that you can take back and forth somehow. Another one did catch her eye though, mentioning how sometimes random objects would find their way here and that is how some of this stuff was originally found. After that it was just nonsensical notes that only mattered to whoever wrote them. "I will have to go over these with everyone else later."

With all that out of the way, she picked up the pillows and one of the blankets. She threw the blanket over Button and Silverstream before placing the pillows behind them.

"That takes care of one thing at least." She felt her stomach grumble and her thirst return. She went over to the vending machine and took what she needed. After downing a few bottles of water and a few protein bars, she felt 100% again. Now wide awake and feeling refreshed, she wondered what she could do now. She turned back to the glass door. "I have some questions. Maybe I will find a clue if I go back."

She glanced back at her sleeping friends and then at the door. "They can catch up later. I'll just simply try not to go too far."

Sweetie Belle opened the door and began to retrace her steps... All the while her one major question lingered...

What the heck was in that water?


Author's Note

This was a crazy chapter. I sort of wish I had started with this story so there was still an air of real mystery around the water but if you read the story that came before this, then you already have a good idea. Hindsight and all that. Still though, managed to set up at least one or two good mysteries here. Hope you all enjoyed and let me know what you thought in the comments.

[Edit: Next chapter will be out tomorrow. ]
