Why Sassy Saddles

It was getting late in the evening. Two relaxed forms, one human and one pony, gracefully descended the stairs side by side. The Carousel's shop floor was quiet and peaceful after the manic stress it had been experiencing all day. The two noticed the, silence and stepped through into the workshop.

Their eyes came to rest upon Rarity, whose face was firmly rested against the table. She had passed out and was now drawing in slow quiet breaths. She still sat on her stool precariously, and it looked as if she could fall off any minute. She looked so out of it that Anon doubted she would be able to save herself if she fell. Hanging on the rack beside her were all the dresses for the fashion show. They were all completed.

“Aww, isn’t that cute” Sassy whispered.

Anon gave a little smirk before silently going over to her. He could see that she was drooling slightly on her workbench, which Sassy found hilarious coming from the normally self-aware pony. She had been hard at work, and deserved rest. Anon looked to Sassy, trying to see what she was thinking. She gave a small nod as if she knew exactly what he was asking.

Anon put his hands under the fashionista and began to slowly cradle her weight. He lifted her off the stool and then flipped her around, cradling her in his arms. He then slowly backtracked his route and carried her out and up the stairs towards her room.

Sassy followed behind, impressed at how he could lift her, and do it so gently that she did not wake. However, there was something off about the space they left behind. She caught a whiff of a unique smell. A subtle pheromone which she had smelt on herself all too often. Rarity was in heat. ‘Wow, poor dear, it's going to be a rough day for her tomorrow,’ she thought.

Anon didn't notice any of this. It was not something he was actively looking for, and he did not associate the smell with anything out of the ordinary. He reached the top of the stairs and went along the small corridor to what he assumed was Rarity’s room. He opened the door and moved in. The room was nicely decorated, and obviously Rarity’s, however the decorations were fairly sparse and an empty suitcase lay open by the side of the bed. She obviously didn't live here on a permanent basis, although he was introduced to her as the owner of the shop. She must live somewhere else.

Rarity's snores still whistled in a lady like manner. Anon lowered her onto the bed and wrapped the sheet around her. The couple then quietly retreated and went back downstairs.

Anon was feeling a little cooped up, and decided he would like to go for a walk.

“Would you like to go for an evening stroll?” he inquired. His tone was subconsciously becoming classier around the company he was currently keeping.

“That sounds like a wonderful idea,” she said, and made for the door before he could even react.

They walked outside and Sassy locked the door behind them. The pair set off walking in no direction in particular. They just liked being together. The atmosphere was light and relaxed. They slowly strolled towards the Main Street, where the lights were bright, and music could be heard. The centre of town had a fancy active nightlife. Many restaurants were open, and some older stallions were dressed in smart evening attire. It was a far cry from the rowdy and outright dangerous streets that were abundant in Anon’s hometown, especially in the evening.

Anon and Sassy grew closer to Main Street and it became busier. The two walked close together. They were almost within touching distance and Anon considered putting his arm around her. He decided against it, but either way it was still obvious to all of the passing ponies that they were a couple. This drew some strange looks, but not any more than Anon was already used to.

Sassy on the other hand, was more put off by them. Although she was indeed proud to stand alongside the human, she really didn't want to draw any more attention than she had too tonight. This was the first night she had been in public naked in a very long time, and although Anon had given her the confidence to think that everything was going to be okay, she still couldn't help but feel as if everypony was judging her.

“Should we head to the park down this way?” she suggested. There wouldn't be as many ponies there.

“It's as good a place as any,” Anon replied, and swivelled round to take a side street down the hill to the park.

Some may have found the park to be somewhat creepy in the twilight that hung over Canterlot. Anon though, found it tranquil. He never found himself feeling unsafe in the city. He wasn't sure if it was because he was so much bigger than the average pony, or because his hometown was so much worse than here, but he never found himself thinking about any danger he might find himself in.

Sassy meanwhile, was just relieved to be away from other ponies. It felt like they could have a private conversation again, without anypony’s stares intruding on them. She moved closer to Anon and brushed against his side. The touch felt good. Anon picked his arm up without really thinking about it and put it over the nape of her neck. He applied a gentle pressure and brought her into him. He enjoyed the feeling of having a mare on his arm.

“So what do you think about all this?” Sassy questioned in a light tone.

She wanted to know what Anon was thinking about their relationship, and she wanted to tell him what she thought as well.

“About the relationship, or the sex?” he said with a flirty grin,

“Both,” Sassy chuckled.

“Well can I be the first to say that the sex was more than satisfactory, in fact it was actually quite overwhelming,” he said in a still casual but genuine voice.

Breath caught in his throat as he tried to verbalise his next words.

“However, I've never felt anything quite like I did when we were walking back up from the workshop this morning. I felt tense around you, like everything I did was on display. I wanted you to like me more than anyone I had previously met. I think it made me a bit rigid. It was sort of like now, but now I don't feel anxious in the slightest. I just feel loved.”

Sassy was moved by this. Her heart pounded and she knew she had felt just the same. She couldn't say she felt the same though. That would sound incredibly lame, and Sassy was not a pony to be pathetic.

“I felt the same way,” she said before mentally kicking herself. It sounded twice as sappy as she had expected.

She leaned into him so hard that Anon almost lost his balance. He leaned back in against her knowing that it was a sign of mutual affection. They couldn't keep on walking like this. He bent over and gave her and adorable hug. They had stopped just at the end of a path. Before them there was a beautiful pristine lake, which now sparkled as the moon had just peeked itself over the horizon in front of them. Anon could see it shine on Sassy and lit her up in a pale light. He could see it reflected in her large eyes, and saw an honest happiness within them.

The couple were content to just stay there for a while. Everything in the world seemed perfect.

Eventually though they had to break their embrace, and reality returned to them. They looked around one final time, and then started to walk back. Anon’s mind thought about some other challenges they might face if the relationship was to continue. It was daunting, but he was more than willing to put in the effort. Sassy meanwhile was also a little worried at the short amount of time they had known each other. They had been together for only around 24 hours, and though they had spent every waking and sleeping moment with each other, it still felt rushed.

“Where do you think this is going to go?” she questioned, unsure.

“I think we just see how it goes.” Anon said. “However, if we are going to get serious there are definitely going to be some challenges.”

“Like if we get to know each other for a more than a day and discover we don't like one another?” Sassy said sarcastically.

Well she did have a point, Anon thought, but that was very unlikely. It would have to be something major to turn him off from her. ‘Maybe if she had a kid she kept in her basement, or she was a murderer in her spare time’. ‘That would probably do it’ he thought with amusement. He knew it was not the case, but he's sometimes found himself thinking about funny stuff like this.

“No. I mean there will eventually be ponies that are not okay with us being together. And we’ll have to address that,” he said in a serious voice. “And we also both work pretty hard, and will have to make sure we make an effort to actually do stuff together.”

“Yeah, you'll have to meet my parents at some point if this goes on. I can't see that ending well,” Sassy said remorsefully. It sent a shiver down her spine. The way she saw it in her dream was the only way she could see the situation playing out.

“Haha, yeah but at least you won't have to see mine!”

Anon missed his parents, but he was getting to the point where it didn't affect him so much anymore. Besides, humour was a great way to feel better about such things.

“Don't worry Miss Saddles. We'll take it one day at a time,” he reassured her.

The night went on, and they talked about many other less important things. The natural conversation helped them really feel as if they we're getting to know one another, but this only made them hungry for more knowledge. Sassy found Anon’s before Equestria life fascinating, and the transition into it harrowing, but it was amazing knowing how far he had come. Anon was also intrigued by the way such a knowledgeable and confident mare on the outside, could have such deep feelings which were difficult for her to let out.

They wondered around having a deep meaningful conversation until the early hours of the morning, when they finally decided to bring the day to an end.

The two soon found themselves back at the boutique and headed straight upstairs to Sassy's bed. It had only been four or five hours since they had last slept, but they both felt exhausted. Although great, the experience had been extremely tiring. Anon got into the bed and Sassy dashed round the side to snuggle up with him. The pair entangled themselves with each other, trying to gain the most bodily contact possible.

Sassy hummed softly, and Anon held her tighter.

“I love this,” Sassy said contentedly. “I want to cuddle forever.”

The two dropped off into a sleep, and Anon sort of wished would not be interrupted the way it was last time, however incredible it may have been. Sassy too was thinking about that. She knew shared dreams were not something that normally happened. ‘I wonder if Princess Luna had anything to do with that?’ she thought as she dozed off into deep rest.

Sassy was first awake. Her eyes opened and slowly focused on her surroundings. Her mind then clicked into gear, and she remembered what day it was. She leapt out of bed and start it excitedly hopping around the room. It was the day of the fashion show, and she could not contain herself. Anon slowly stirred out of his slumber. It was one of the best night’s sleep he had ever had, although the bed was feeling somewhat empty now.

“What are you doing?” Anon asked, rubbing his eyes.

“It's the fashion show today. I'm so excited!” she shouted. “Do you want to come? I'm sure we can get you in.”

He didn't have any plans for today, and he really wanted to spend more time with her, so although he had no interest in fashion, he thought it would be a good event.

“Yeah sure, I'd like to go,” he said groggily.

She put on a new dress, which looked exactly the same as the dirty one that was still crumpled on the floor, and hurried off downstairs. Anon tried to follow as quickly as he could, but he had to get dressed and wash before he felt like he could be seen in public.

He came down the stairs to find Rarity, who was loading her cart with all sorts of different outfits. They were zipped up in protective cases, and it made them all a dull uniform grey colour. Sassy meanwhile was cooking a bit of breakfast. She was making eggs and toast in the small kitchen that was attached to the back of the shop. The smell was great, and he headed for it immediately.

The human and the unicorn sat and ate a quick breakfast in the back of the shop. Rarity, having finished loading her cart, came to join them. She looked much less tired, but still stressed. She must have really needed her sleep. She looked at the pair of beings in the room, before scowling slightly and going to get her own food that Sassy had left on the side.

“Good morning,” she said nonchalantly.

“Good morning!” Anon replied in a cheerful mood, finally waking up properly after some food. “Sassy suggested I come with you to the fashion show today. She said it’ll be good fun.”

“I'm sorry darling. I don't have any extra tickets I'm afraid.” She said coldly.

“Won't he be allowed in if he is ‘support crew’?” Sassy asked. “I'm sure he won't mind moving some stuff for you.”

Rarity eyed the pair. They were sat a little closer to one another than she thought proper, and it was clear they were looking for an excuse to stay around each other. She supposed she could let it slide. Besides, she did actually need some help, and Sassy would definitely hold it against her if she didn't allow it. What was pressing more in her mind was what she heard last night. They were doing a good job of pretending that nothing had happened, even though it was clear to anypony in the building what they were doing. A slight blush formed on her cheeks before getting back to the subject matter. It wasn't something she could bring up without the situation becoming extremely awkward. She needed to have another ‘serious talk’ with her long-time friend; alone.

“Fine. That’s actually not a bad idea. I could use a hand with My Portfolio,” she said pompously. “I really don't like to do a lot of heavy lifting.”

“Thank you Rarity,” Anon said.

He noted that Rarity seemed to be in a bad mood, but put it down to the stress of the show that must have been weighing on her.

They got up, cleared away, and left for the show. Anon was thinking about how he still hadn't got paid yet, and reminded himself he needed to talk to Rarity about that soon. It was money that was owed to him, and although he would have worked many nights unpaid to be able to meet Sassy saddles, it was already agreed by both parties, and it would look bad if he let it slide. Besides, he was saving up to get a pair of skis made for him. Pony ones did not fit to say the least.

Rarity gave a nod to the poor taxi stallion whose unfortunate job it was to transport them to the show, and off they went. Anon thought about giving him a hand, but he actually seemed fairly strong, and the price he heard him charging Rarity made him think twice. Time slipped by and soon they arrived at the show. The building they were parked in front of looked as if it was a Grand Theatre, and a large banner hung outside it saying ‘Canterlot Fashion Show’. It was still early, and it had not opened to the public yet. A long stream of ponies were entering with all sorts of equipment. Something they would also soon be doing.

Anon took as many outfits as he could before making his way towards the entrance. There were several large bodyguards on the doors that eyed him as he came closer. He tensed, preparing to be turned away, or asked for a pass, but no such thing happened. He walked past them and into the show without a word. Sassy and Rarity followed along shortly behind and she directed him to where Rarity had been allocated a stall. He assumed that she was advertising her boutique, and maybe selling some items, as well as performing on the large stage which he could now see in front of him. The place had an excited buzz around it.

Anon began to feel a bit out of place. Some of the ponies were very smartly dressed, and some looked at him with disdain, as if he shouldn't be there, and it made him feel as they were correct. He looked around, and could see no other species apart from pony. He drew a deep breath to try and calm down, and told himself just to be confident. ‘Fake it till you make it’ he thought.

He hung up all the outfits and helped Sassy and Rarity set up the area. However, they were quickly doing things that Anon did not have the skill to do. They were making signs and banners, and modifying the outfits. He felt like a spare part.

The store beside him suddenly caught his eye. It was a hat stand. He noted some of the hats had two holes in the top of them for ears to poke up through, however some did not. He went over to the stall and wondered whether some might be right for him. Most however were too big, due to the large size of a pony’s head. There were other stands though, which were more appealing, and Anon went off to look at them. He was sure Rarity didn't need him at this moment in time.

He looked around, and found the show to actually be fairly interesting. He found a stand run by an earth pony, who specialised in making silk. She had brought some live worms and demonstrated the process of turning their cocoons into finely woven silk. He was also surprised when he found a pony selling long stripy socks. He thought they looked cute and saw some orange and purple ones that he thought a certain unicorn might like. His mind drew up a great mental image of her wearing them, but he thought better of going through with the purchase. They were a little suggestive, and they might offend her. He took her card anyway and continued to browse around the show.

Meanwhile, Sassy and Rarity had finally finished setting up their stand, and Rarity was now preparing her dresses to be shown up and down the catwalk. Sassy, now done with her work, started to stare at Rarity. She was dismayed to find that Rarity had stopped what she was doing and was staring back at her. She had a neutral expression, but Sassy could tell there was weight behind it. The fashionista slowly moved away from the rack and made herself comfortable on one of the pop up chairs that had been provided for them.

“I need to talk to you,” Rarity said. She sounded serious.

“Yes of course dear. Whatever about?” Sassy inquired.

Rarity suddenly thought better about the direction she was headed. She suddenly couldn't make eye contact with her friend, and she instead stared off into the distance. Her ears flattened backwards which gave her a timid look. Her cheeks started to burn brightly but there was a hint of sadness in her eyes.

“I heard you last night,” She said with a slight irritation.

Sassy had not thought about it before, but she knew the walls in the boutique were not infinitely thick, and she was making a fair amount of noise yesterday. Rarity would have been deaf not to hear her. This didn't embarrass her like she thought it might though. Rarity was her friend after all, and wouldn’t tell anyone. The memories Anon yesterday surged through her and she felt a flutter in her stomach. She couldn't wait to tell Rarity all the juicy gossip about the events that had unfolded the day before, now that the man in question had finally left them.

“After our little conversation, I found that Anon had fallen asleep, so I took him up to my room so he could sleep on my bed.” Sassy wiggled her eyebrows cheekily as if it was her plan all along, and she wasn't being a scared little filly at that point.

“And then I got into bed with him and then he said he loved me and then we fucked like bunnies.” She looked sheepish for a second after swearing out loud. She could have just said they slept with each other, but that wasn't really what happened.

She did feel a tiny bit of guilt, however. She had conveniently left out the part about her crying, and the dress, and her true self. Rarity did not know about the marks on her back, and she thought it might be time to let her know. Not right now though, she had to give Rarity the juice!

“He was so loving, and kissed me so gently, but he knew just when to hold me down, and all the right points to make me scream.”

“Uhmm, uhmm,” Rarity nodded along with an unamused scowl on her face, not that Sassy noticed.

“Ohh, and he can last so long. It's like he has a superpower. I've never felt anything like it! He went so deep end filled me up so well. I swear I passed out for a second.”

“For heaven's sake Sassy! Please stop talking! can't you see I'm in heat?”

Sassy snapped out of her fantasy and back to her friend. Rarity's eyes stared at her with a furrowed brow. One eye twitched as if she was straining to keep the stare. She looked tense and almost angry. It all clicked at once in Sassy's mind. Her story was arousing her friend, when she least needed it. She knew how difficult being in season could be, especially when work had to be done through it. Her story about the human must have been nothing but torture for her. She suddenly felt bad for being so inconsiderate, and couldn't think of anything to say, so she just fell silent.

Rarity just sighed. “I can't be dealing with this right now.”

The truth was that as much as the story was not helping her physical condition, it was not what really bothered her. As uncomfortable as it was, she could contain her lust. What really bothered her was how … happy Sassy seemed. Rarity felt awful. She knew she should be happy for her friend for finding someone, finding the courage to confess, and then making beautiful love to him. She wasn’t angry at her though. She needed to stop Sassy to avoid bursting into tears, it had nothing to do with the heat really.

“I'm sorry darling, I'm happy for you. I truly am, it's just that hearing about your intimate time, is not doing good things to me, I need to focus on my work.”

Sassy could tell it was not all that was bothering her though. She had known Rarity a long time, and could tell when she was lying. She currently had a mask on. She could tell due to the way she was almost robotic, a far cry from her usually flamboyant nature.

Sassy reached out a hoof and put it gently on her shoulder. Rarity didn't flinch, in fact she leaned into the comforting gesture. She may not have though, had she known the interrogation she was about to get.

“What's really wrong Rarity?” Sassy said in a caring tone.

Rarity looked away for a brief minute, trying to avoid the question. However, she was mature enough, and close enough to Sassy to know she had to tell the truth. The tall slender mare was a good friend after all, and she knew she could trust her with her deepest secrets. It would also make her feel better as well, to have someone that until very recently understood the feeling.

“I guess I just … I want what you have. And I don't know if I'll ever get it.” Rarity felt like crying but knew she couldn't. She was in a public place and she was on display.

“I think I'm envious of you,” the words grated on her own ears. Admitting that she was not a perfect angel was not something Rarity did often, however this time she instantly felt better doing so. It was like a weighted saddle had been lifted from her.

Sassy was shocked by this. How could her elegant friend, one that was always so confident in her life, and who all the stallions wanted, be jealous of her. How could she be envious of her relationship with a strange human. It puzzled her. Maybe it was just the heat talking, it did make one think not entirely rationally after all.

A smart looking staff member then approached the pair of ponies. He had a clipboard and pen, which gave him the utmost authority in every matter.

Lady Rarity, Miss Savvy Saddles, it's time for the show. The stallion gave them a glance to make sure they had heard before he wandered off on some other important mission.

Rarity gave a sigh before getting up off the chair and grabbing an outfit to get changed into. She walked back past Sassy and off to the back stairs changing rooms to get ready for the catwalk.

‘I just need to make it through this, then I can clop constantly for the next 3 days’ She thought to herself. At least that would be some form of relief.

Sassy meanwhile knew it would be a while before Rarity would be on stage. Her eyes narrowed at the staff member who was now across the other side of the room. “It's Sassy, not Savvy,” she grumbled under her breath.

That wasn't really what was on her mind though. Rarity couldn't be feeling that bad, could she? She knew that estrus could hit hard, she had felt it first hand, but it did not normally inspire the feeling of loneliness that Rarity was feeling. She suspected it was there beforehand. Sassy wanted badly to help her friend, but she didn't know how. Only Rarity herself could bring about her own happiness, and it would take a little bit of luck. Luck she apparently did not currently have.

It's still amazed her that Rarity wanted to be in her place, but the more she thought about it the more it made sense. She described truly being loved, and as long as she had known Rarity, she had never known her to go on a date more than twice in a row. Sure, many many stallions asked her out, but it seems that none actually took the time to get to know her, and therefore nobody really liked the real her.

Sassy knew. She had felt much the same way until a few days ago. Anon had had a way of getting through to her that she had never experienced before, it made them feel close, and genuinely loved.

An idea was starting to form in Sassy's mind. It was a crazy idea. It was hilarious that she was even entertaining it, but she couldn't help but probe her imagination. Could Anon help Rarity with her ‘situation’? The human certainly had the sexual prowess to take good care of her friend, but that was about the only thing she was sure of.

She couldn't tell how either of them would react to her suggesting that her new coltfriend be intimate with her best friend and her boss. Would Rarity be okay with that? Would Anon be okay with that? Would she be okay with that? Sassy couldn’t answer any of those questions. Even how she felt herself. It was the one that she had the most chance of finding an answer too though, so she focused her attention on it.

Would she be okay with effectively loaning her coltfriend out? It sounded disgusting when she put it that way, but she knew Rarity really needed someone to help her, and she was sure Anon would not turn down such a beautiful mare if she had given him explicit permission to do so. It was just that she also wanted him tonight, and she wasn't sure it would really even help matters. Rarity wanted to feel love. That wasn't something Anon could give her was it? She needed to find the human, and see how he felt about all this.

Sassy noticed a crowd forming around the stage. The show was about to start. Amongst the bustling sea of ponies, a different form could be seen. He was taller than the others and stood out above the crowd. She hurried over to Anon and pulled him aside. The two made their way to a raised platform area for entrants only. It was fairly sparsely populated due to most of the entrants being backstage getting ready to perform. Sassy and Anon sat down in their allocated places and blended in once more. If anything, they stood out for being too bland, and not colourful or pompous enough.

“Soooo,” Sassy whistled, trying to break an awkward subject. “I Just had a bit of a chat with Rarity.”

“Oh yeah?” Anon replied, not thinking too much of it.

“She has a bit of… an issue, and I think you might be able to help her,” she said, just a little bit nervous.

“How can I help?” he said politely. He could do most things the average pony needed, and he knew Rarity paid well. He was sure she still would, even though, they were now friends by default.

“Well…” Sassy continued slowly. “I wondered if you might help her with her heat?”

“Yeah ‘course I will,” Anon responded. “Wait, what’s a heat?”

This caught Sassy off guard. It was not the answer she was expecting. She was expecting a yes, or a horrified no, but now she had to explain what it was, and cringed at the thought. It had not occurred to her that Anon was a human, who had only been living in Equestria for a year, and evidently did not know much about pony anatomy or psychology. She sighed and prepared herself for the birds and the bees talk.

“Mares have a monthly hormonal cycle, much like most animals. However, midway through this, a mare has 3 or 4 days when she is fertile.” Sassy looked round sheepishly. Nopony took any notice but she still felt embarrassed, even using the most anatomical language she could.

“Anyway, this has a psychological effect on mares, caused by hormones, and they basically become incredibly aroused. Seriously, stallions and sex are literally the only thing we can think about. It can be very frustrating.” Sassy said timidly.

“Haha, sounds like you just turn into a guy for a few days!”

Anon continued to laugh at his joke, but then he suddenly stopped. His eyes went wide. Gears turned in the man’s head. ‘Wait how would I be able to help if Rarity was in heat’ Anon thought. ‘she can’t be asking that can she’? A second passed as the realisation sunk in. He was pretty sure his new marefriend was asking him to fuck her best friend… because she was extremely horny against her will. Anon didn’t know what to think. First though, he had to make sure it was what she really meant. It would be an awkward misunderstanding if she just wanted them to give Rarity some peace in the boutique for a bit, or go and find some medicine to help her.

“In what way am I going to help Rarity with that?” Anon said, unusually flustered for him.

“Err, well I believe you have the correct parts for it. They worked well on me.”

Sassy could not believe she was discussing this in public. To be honest, it kind of excited her, as did all the images being conjured in her head of Rarity doing naughty things. It was something she shouldn’t be doing, but she couldn’t help it. It only strengthened her resolve about wanting this to happen, for the pleasure of her friend, her partner, … and herself.

“So, when you had a chat just now you, were discussing letting her have sex with me.” Anon said slightly flustered. Did he not get a say in this?

“No… not exactly,” she stammered. “She just said about how frustrated she was.”

“Hang on a second. She doesn’t know about this plan of yours?!” Anon said amazed. “What makes you think she’ll agree to any of this?”

“Oh, I know she’ll agree alright. I’ve been in her position before, I know she’ll lunge at the chance.”

“Ok then, why are you okay with this? Don’t you want me just for yourself?” Anon felt slightly insecure that Sassy was not that into him, but he was not going to express it. She might change her mind about the whole idea and Anon had decided he didn’t want that.

“I feel bad for her Anon, she needs help. Plus, it’s not as if I won’t be joining in,” The words from her mouth made Sassy blush.

She couldn’t believe she wanted to do this. She couldn’t believe it might actually happen. Her cheeks flushed and she gave Anon a sly grin. The human was warming to the idea and returned the grin. However events turned out, it sure was going to be an interesting evening.

The couple’s attention was turned away from each other and to the stage as the show started. The audience settled down and music began to play. Ponies dressed in every kind of outfit, from very minimal, to very flamboyant, were paraded up and down the catwalk. Some actually looked fairly good. Something that could almost be worn outside in public. Others though, were hilariously bad. Anon swore one was literally made off tinfoil. It was obviously trying to appeal to conspiracy ponies.

About two thirds of the way through the show, Anon spotted Rarity getting ready to go. She was wearing a flowing violet dress, that whilst lighter than her mane, complimented it perfectly. The dress flowed out behind her and dragged along the smooth floor as she began her walk. He pointed at her and looked to Sassy.

“Look, there she is,” he said to Sassy, who leaned forward, trying to get a better look.

“Wow, she looks amazing, she looks so elegant and beautiful,” Anon said, awe struck.

“Haha, she just looks aroused to me.” Sassy said in a snarky tone.

Anon did a double take. He guessed he still had a lot to learn about the mare sitting next to him. Like how sometimes she could be dirty. As Anon watched though, he could start to see what she meant. The signs were subtle, but they were there. Her tail was raised high under the fabric of the dress, and she pranced with a lively spring in her step. More than what was expected of her. As she got closer, he also noticed she had a deep blush on her face. Much of the audience might have thought it was make up, but Anon knew it was genuine. In fact, the whole display might have been genuine. Ponies on the catwalk were expected to act slightly provocatively. He had seen more swaying hips than he had seen in a long time, but somehow he could tell that Rarity did not have to act.

“I Agree,” said Anon. “That mare does need help.”

Anon was still not totally convinced. On one hand he didn’t want to ruin things between him and Sassy. However much she said she was okay with it, Anon still thought it was playing with fire in that regard. On the other hand though, he had the opportunity to make Rarity feel much better, and she was pretty hot after all.

“Great! Glad you’ve warmed to the idea. I knew you would be willing to help.” Sassy said cheerfully.

‘What? No! That wasn’t me agreeing’ Anon thought. However, the human had more or less consigned himself to his fate. He just sort of went where life took him at this point. Also, the idea was kinky. It certainly seemed as if it turned Sassy on, and who was he to deny her that. He was still sceptical though about convincing Rarity. His impression of her was that she was classy and proper. Anon could not imagine her being accepting of this idea at all, despite what Sassy thought. He thought there was a large possibility it would be a shitshow, which would cause a falling out between all of them.

“Happy to help,” Anon said sarcastically. “How are you going to proposition Rarity anyway? It’s not something that I can imagine going well.”

“First off, I’m not doing it, we’re doing it together. But as for how, I think back in the shop would be best.” Sassy thought for a brief second before continuing “Okay, I’ll do the actual talking, I have known her much longer after all. I need you to get her ready to accept the proposal though.”

“What do you mean?” said Anon, confused.

“Believe me Anon, in her state she is looking for any reason to accept my request. You need to prepare her. Work her up. Tease her. Break her resolve so that she cannot say no when I ask. Be seductive.” Sassy said with a chuckle.

Anon laughed along with her. If mares really did get like that, and Rarity was already in the right mindset, then it should be fairly easy. As he found yesterday, he really liked teasing a mare, and seducing his marefriend’s friend, a pony who was normally so confident and posh, excited him. It solidified his resolve. It was something he wanted to do, for himself as well as his wonderful company.

“Ohh believe me, I know how to make a mare beg for it,” He said with a wink.

This made Sassy smile, although she couldn’t help but act bashful when she remembered how he teased her. She suddenly couldn’t look at him. An excited shiver travelled throughout her body. It was a feeling of intense anticipation.

A loud crescendo then sounded on the stage. It was the end of the show. It distracted the couple and brought an end to their conversation. All the prize winners were now forming on the stage. Anon was surprized to see Rarity standing up and collecting a second place prize for one of her dresses. He was amazed to see how elegant and self-assured she acted as she collected her prize. Unless Sassy had told him, he would never have guessed she was a hormonal mess underneath that façade. ‘I’m going to break right through that’ Anon thought. ‘This night is going to be an unexpectedly good one for you.’

The pair got up, and headed back to the stand to meet the glamorous mare. They arrived to find that Rarity was already there, and had miraculously packed everything up already. It was almost as if she was in a hurry to get home. Sassy ran over to Rarity and embraced her. She congratulated her on her prize, which drew a strained smile from her face. Second place in a prestigious competition such as this was a tremendous achievement.

“Come on, let’s get back to the shop,” Rarity said breaking out of the hug. She had a slight urgency about her. It was barely noticeable, but definitely real.

Anon picked up all of their stuff and they made their way out towards the taxi that was waiting for them. He put the dresses into the back of the taxi, and then the trio piled into the enclosed space. Somehow Anon found himself sat in-between the two mares. He was sure it was by Sassy’s design, and it was made certain by the look she was giving him. She wiggled her eyebrows at him and gestured to the mare sat opposite. Anon’s attention turned to Rarity. She seemed uncomfortable in the cramped space, and was subtly trying not to make bodily contact with the human. It was an effort in vain though, due to the small carriage.

“Get us going please, quick as you can,” Rarity said a bit more rudely than was normal for her.

The carriage set off and soon enough they were in their own personal bubble. Just the three of them. Anon knew this was his time to act. They were effectively alone together, and even he could smell the heated aroma she was emitting, as well as feeling the tense atmosphere.

“Rarity are you okay?” Anon said in a concerned voice. “You seem tense.”

She seemed tense before, but Anon’s question made her outright rigid. Her breath was suddenly shallow, and her heart pounded. She could feel her side against his. She could feel how muscular he was even through the clothing, and she was suddenly made aware of how much bigger he was than her. It did not make her scared though. It turned her on. How could she be feeling this way about the strange creature. Maybe it was just the heat, but the moans she had eavesdropped on yesterday were now suddenly all she could think about. Sassy certainly found him hot, and Rarity now couldn’t help but feel the same.

“I’m alright,” Rarity lied. “It’s been a tiring day.”

“You did so well,” Anon complimented.

“Yeah, we’ll have to find a way to celebrate” Sassy butted in.

“Not tonight, I’m exhausted,” Rarity replied. It was a lie. She really just wanted to masturbate until she was finally spent enough to get some sleep.

“Aww, come here,” Anon said taking a bit of a risk.

He quickly and confidently, put an arm around her and squeezed her tight. His arm wrapped around her and he found his hand running across her soft chest. He thought the gesture was comforting and sweet, but Rarity only became more unsettled. Her face burned brightly, emitting a cute shade of pink, and her loins shivered with animalistic excitement. She stammered and shook her head. She loved this, not that she would admit it.

“Anon I’m okay really, I…”

“Your Shivering!” Anon exclaimed. “Are you cold? I’ll warm you up!”

Anon used both hands to rub her up and down vigorously. This certainly did warm Rarity up, but not in the way Rarity thought he intended. It was in fact though working exactly as Anon intended.

Rarity finally relaxed a bit, and sank into Anon’s ministrations. His actions did nothing but fuel her arousal, and she couldn’t help but fantasise about Anon rubbing her just a bit lower. She couldn’t help but feel guilty though. She had already admitted to Sassy that she was jealous of them, and now she was thinking sexy thoughts about Anon, a different species who was already dating her long-time friend.

She looked over to Sassy and expected her to have a disapproving look. One that was able to sense what she was thinking, and was disgusted by it. Instead she found that Sassy had a comforting smile on her face. It was sweet, but the piercing eye contact that she aimed at Rarity said something else. She had a devious smile. Her expression seemed almost predatory. Rarity was suddenly afraid for a second that Sassy could read her thoughts. She obviously couldn’t, but it freaked Rarity out slightly. Something was up. She broke eye contact and looked up to Anon, who had a much more genuine smile. It felt loving, and made Rarity’s heart flutter. She subconsciously sunk into Anon’s side, an action that made her feel more at ease, but only heightened her libido. Rarity did this subconsciously, but it was painfully obvious to Anon, and even to Sassy who was watching them.

The couple exchanged looks. Sassy’s expression was smug. It said, ‘I told you so’, and the blush on her face and the longing look in her eyes expressed that it turned her on. Anon’s expression was just one of ‘Ohh shit, this is actually happening’.

Rarity was grateful that Anon was being so sweet, but the physical contact of his arm around her was not helping her desperate situation. She was grateful when she finally saw the Carousel pull into view. The human certainly had given her a lot of fantasy material to indulge herself with this evening, but she was a little disheartened knowing it could only ever be a fantasy. He was with Sassy Saddles, and Rarity wasn’t even sure she would be thinking about him this way if her estrus was not fighting for control of her mind.

“We’re back,” Sassy sang in a deliberately cheerful tone.

‘Just in time too’ she thought. The sky was dark, and it was just starting to spit with rain. A storm was brewing. The taxi came to a halt, and Rarity opened the door and leapt out. She tried to not appear to be in a hurry, but it failed miserably. Her urgency was obvious, and it drew a small giggle from Sassy. She got out and went to pay the taxi stallion.

Anon was about to get out as well, but as he did so a sheen caught his eye. On the seat where Rarity had been sat, there was a small streak of clear fluid. It was a little perverse, but anon ran his fingers across it to confirm his suspicions. The fluid was viscous and slippery, and had definitely come from a needy mare. Anon grinned and then leapt out of the carriage to chase after the horny mare, who was already headed towards the Carousel’s door. He grabbed the luggage and joined Sassy in an attempt to catch up with Rarity who was trying to speed away.

Rarity unlocked the door just before they caught up to her. She entered, and Anon and Sassy followed behind her. Anon dumped the stuff against the wall and turned on the light. Sassy closed and locked the door behind them.
