The Pirate Soul
A surprisingly warm welcome
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThat day Swift spent reading about Equestria and some popular places. He had to guess, it was so he could pick their route for their trip. But if he was going to be honest? He was doing it to see what place looked like a good place to set up a base.
There was that place in the desert… no… too hot. Mainhattan?.... too populated. It seemed like no place was perfect. It was either too far from the water, or too populated. He was about to give up, before noticing a picture of what looked like a ship in the air. Blinking, he looked at the page carefully.
Ponyville… it was far from the water. But it was a small town. Easy enough way to start a reputation. On top of that, he already knew somepony in the area.
"Maybe I can stay in Ponyville." Swift suggested. "It looks like it might be a good starting spot."
Luna nodded and moved up next to him. "This is a lovely idea. I know that town very well. It is a lovely place. And it would be easy for us to stay in touch."
"So…"
"I shall arrange for transportation right away." Luna declared energetically, before waving to one of the guards.
"Do you think we can take public transportation?" Swift asked. "And… maybe… I can look into getting a ship?"
"Why a ship?" Luna asked softly.
"Well… I kinda promised that one mare… I think her name was Rarity?... anyway. I told her I'd take her for a ride on one." He replied with a soft smile.
"Oh?" Luna questioned. "And… would she be the first female or even the only one allowed on this ship?"
Swift gulped at the question. To be honest? He kinda expected that he would end up having several females visit his ship overall. But should he tell her that? "I… don't know. It just came up when we were going over the outfit. But if you want to be the first to join me on the ship." He replied.
Luna turned away with a soft smile. "I… think I would like that." Taking a deep breath she started for the door. "First we shall find you a place we can modify for one."
Swift smiled and followed her. "Next stop Ponyville."
One long train ride later
"Never again." Swift groaned as he got off the train. He mentally added the conductor to his list of ponies to hurt. To his delight, Luna was equally unhappy with him as she got off the train.
"I will see to it that fool is punished for his actions." She huffed, glaring back at the train before taking a deep breath and turning back to Swift with a smile. "But that can wait. Now is for us to enjoy our visit."
Within seconds of her sawing that however, royal guards rushed over and bowed to her. And much to her annoyance, forced Swift to move away from her a few feet. "What do you think you're doing?" She asked flatly.
"Apologies, princess." One of the guards said. "But protocol depict…"
"You will leave my escort alone." She snapped. After a moment she facehoofed. "I meant my guest."
Swift blinked. "Did she call me what I think she called me?" He thought.
The guards bowed and moved so the two could be closer together. Letting out a sigh, Swift turned to Luna. "Do we really need the guards? I thought the ponies looked up to you and your sister."
"We've… had a few encounters with threats in town." She sighed. "But there are a few places the guards know are safe."
"And that is?" Swift asked.
"Our first stop." She explained as she led the way over to a large crystal building.
Swift blinked in shock at the look of the building and gulped. He had to take a moment to remind himself to behave as they got closer.
"No doubt my sister had already sent her student word of our arrival." Luna sighed.
"What's wrong with that?"
"Pinkie." She replied.
As Luna opened the door Swift asked. "What's a Pinkie?"
BOOM
"Oh… that…" Swift thought with a groan of pain before blacking out.
Some time later
"I still can't believe you did that Pinkie." A soft educated voice complained in exhaustion as Swift started to come to.
"I said I'm sorry." A high-pitched voice replied. Even in his groggy state, Swift guessed it was the Pinkie that knocked him out. "I just wanted to welcome him to Ponyville."
"Yeah. If you call, knock the guy out, a welcome. Then you did a great job." A third more snarky voice huffed. Swift had to admit that she already earned some points with him.
"Do… Do you think he'll wake up soon?" A soft voice asked from nearby. At that moment Swift realized he was resting against something… soft.
"If he did and realized where he is. I doubt he'd let us know." The snarky voice replied. This time sounding more like she was doing a teasing jab.
The words she used made him wonder and think about what he was laying on. It kinda felt as if he was resting on two decent sized… water… balloons… oh… "OH FUCK! MY HEAD IS ON HER TITS!" he thought. "WHY? HOW?... you know what? I think I already have an idea on how. But WHY?"
"And why did you think that laying him like that was a good idea?" Luna asked.
"Thank you Luna." He thought.
The snarky mare huffed. "Obviously because bat boy would have killed me if I suggested resting him against you."
"True." Swift mentally agreed.
"And he might have freaked out if he woke to see the mare he's using for a pillow is the same one that attacked him." She huffed.
"Also true."
"And the only mare that would work is Fluttershy." She finished.
The educated voice huffed. "Why not me, Applejack or even yourself or Rarity?"
"AJ might be big but I doubt it's very soft. Rarity is too proper to let somepony do something like that unless they get a spa treatment first. And you're… well… there's only so much a stallion is willing to wake up to." She laughed.
"First. How do you know all this?" Luna asked. "And second, why not you? With how much you fly, I'd think a stallion would love to feel that when he wakes."
"The guys at the base like to talk…" She sighed. "And it's unanimous… I don't make a good pillow."
There was a moment of silence before Swift decided to open his eyes. "Maybe you just didn't find the right stallion." He commented.
As soon as the girls saw him looking at them, the mare he was resting against rested her wing against the side of his head. "Try not to move too much. You did take a nasty hit."
"Then why don't I lift him up so you and mis Dash switch places?" Luna suggested with a smile.
"WHAT!?!" Dash gaucked.
"You did say that Fluttershy was a better pillow than you. Perhaps he would prefer resting against you instead." Luna replied. "Or are you scared a stallion might actually like being close to you?"
The others looked at the rainbow maned mare as if they were waiting for something. After a few moments she let out a soft sigh. "Fine. But don't expect that I will be doing this again."
Luna levitated him up and let Dash and Fluttershy switch places. Once Dash got comfortable, she rested him down. At first she was going to lay him against her stomach, but after a moment she smirked and carefully placed him so he was resting against her flank.
"There. How's that?" Luna asked.
Swift blinked as he took slow calm breaths. A few seconds later he let out a soft moan and closed his eyes.
"Oh my." Fluttershy gasped.
"I think we got our answer." The soft voice teased.
"Shut up." Dash groaned.
Luna smiled at seeing the soft blush on Dash's face. "Let him rest. We'll throw the party when he feels better."
"Unless he ends up preferring a private party." Pinkie teased, before leaving the room with the others letting the two get some rest.
