Author's Note

This story was written for a friend who, upon seeing my first piece, admitted that they always wanted to be tickled by Flutters and Ponk, so I took it upon myself to make that daydream ~~a reality~~ as real as words can make it!

Albums I listened to while writing this story:

“The Spirit of St. Louis” by Adam Young

“The Giant Leaps” by Sailship

Your Ticklish Morning With Fluttershy & Pinkie Pie

The cool pillow on your face hits like an ice cream cone on a hot summer's day as you collapse onto your bed. Hours at work followed by a long, traffic ridden drive home was not the best way to spend an evening.

Thankfully, it’s a Friday, the weekend is calling you. But it would have to leave a voicemail, because you had already torn off your clothes, showered, brushed your teeth, closed the curtains and slipped into the softest pair of pjs you had in your dresser. Flocked with a fluffy material inside and out, your body feels like it is being hugged by a cloud as you shimmy your way under the covers.

Reaching across your bed to flick the lamp switch, you kill the lights. After which there is just enough moonlight to make out your life-sized Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy plushies opposite you. It had been too long since you last slept with them, yet, you can’t help feeling a little silly reaching for them. Who could turn down a giant pony hug, though?

Wrapping the Fluttershy plush in a tight squeeze, you feel the soft fabric brush your skin. An attempt to hug both at once proves fruitless, however, so Pinkie is relegated to sit just behind Flutters. It’s impossible not to smile as your mind drifts into itself, the weight of exhaustion dragging your eyelids down farther and farther.

“Are they still asleep?”

“Yes, Pinkie, and they look peaceful so keep your voice in a whisper, like this.”

“Oh, sorry, hehe. They do look really comfy all tucked in with y-”

“Shh! I... I think they’re waking up.”

Surely those voices were part of a dream, you think as you regain consciousness. Same clothes, same bed, same plushies... wait, no. You give Fluttershy another squeeze, and instead of the meticulously hand stitched fabric, realistic, velvety fur is upon your cheek.

“Th-that’s my side...” A timid voice giggles.

Every fibre of your body is telling you to scream, but you don’t. That voice. You recognise that voice. “F-Fluttershy?” You stammer, the question hardly audible.

“And Pinkie Pie!” Another voice exclaims. “Oh, sorry.” It adds in a quieter tone. “And Pinkie Pie.”

No way. No way in hell did you just hug Flutters or hear Pinkie address you. “H-how are you... here?” You ask deliriously just as your lamp is switched on, the sudden light forcing you to squint.

“Oops, sorry.” Pinkie apologises again, an awkward grin spreading across her face.

As your eyes adjust, you see the two ponies on your bed. Your arms are wrapped around Fluttershy’s midsection, just as they were on the plush, and Pinkie Pie is positioned next to her.

Propping yourself up, you stare in disbelief. “What in the world...?”

Pinkie Pie smiles sympathetically. “Look, we can explain.”

With wide eyes and a dumbfounded expression, you hardly register her words as you shake your head. “...I have to wake up.” Slinking out of bed, you start towards the bathroom for a drink of water. Perhaps you’ll dunk your head under the sink to jolt yourself awake for the second time.

“W-wait!” Fluttershy calls, bolting from the bed to the floor in front of you. The yellow pegasus is about half your height, at eye level with your belly button. It seems she has something to say, but shyness is impeding her words. “You see, um, you’re actually not a-asleep...”

Pinkie interjects without missing a beat. “She’s trying to say that you’re not in a dream, you're living out one.” The earth pony trots to the edge of the bed closest to you. “Princess Luna helped us visit you this morning by bringing us from our own world into yours!” Her voice rings with excitement.

You stop in your tracks. “Wait, so Luna sent you to my world... what for?” You ponder. “Doesn't she deal with dreams?”
Fluttershy nods, clearing her throat. “Usually, b-but today is a special case.” One of her wings wraps around your midsection as she directs you to sit next to Pinkie.

You have to hold back a giggle as you sit down. Even through the pyjamas, her wing is velvety soft. It doesn't get past Pinkie, though, who locks eyes upon spotting your grin. “Luna didn’t send us today because of slumber troubles. She saw you had a rough go yesterday, and the princess thought the best way to bring a human out of the dumps...” Her pink nose makes contact with yours. “Was to make their dreams come true.”

You smile awkwardly, blushing at the tantalising proposal and Pinkie’s playful grin. “W-what are you talking about?”
Pinkie Pie giggles to herself. “Luna doesn’t just protect ponies from bad dreams, you know. She’s peeked into yours once or twice, making sure nothing has gone awry.”

All of a sudden you have a hunch about where this is going, a mix of worry and excitement hitting you. “Oh! H-has she, now?” With cheeks turning red and eyes darting away from Pinkie’s, it’s clear that your degeneracy has been uncovered. For years, whenever you imagined what you’d want to do with your favourite ponies, should you get the chance, your deepest desire always came back to...

“Get ‘em, Fluttershy!”

The pegasus had snuck behind you while Pinkie distracted, her yellow wings sliding under your arms to wrap your midsection in a tight hug. “H-human detained!” She announces proudly.

“Woah, hehehey!” You chuckle, totally caught off guard. “What’s with the hug attack?”

Fluttershy only responds with a giggle as her forelegs reach around as well, pulling you deeper into the cuddle. You feel the wings tighten and conform to the shape of your body, each readjustment tickling your sides slightly. This is enough to make you squee, giggling in pure happiness as your cheeks turn a deep red.

They were right, you had dreamt of being hugged like this before, but is that all Luna had shown the two?

“Aww, they’re already laughing and we haven’t even started tickling them yet!” Pinkie Pie beams.

There we go, cat’s out of the bag, everyone go home, show’s over.

You freeze. “P-pardon me?” As if your cheeks couldn’t get any redder, they now burn crimson, an irresistible smile spreading across your face.

Fluttershy ruffles her wings slightly, teasing your sides with ticklish sensations while Pinkie Pie continues. “Luna told us about something else, didn’t she, Futtershy?”

The yellow mare nods as you begin to snicker and squeak, Pinkie continuing her story. “She said that you have spent countless nights dreaming of us ponies tickling you silly, but that Fluttershy and I tend to show up in your fantasies more than anypony else.”

You couldn’t believe your ears, Luna had relayed all this to them?

“Ahahaha, nohohoho! Ihihit’s nahahat true!” You deny while raising your hands to cover your blush, letting Fluttershy drag her wings under your arms. “Ohohoho gohohosh, nahahahat there!” In an attempt to hide your soft spot, you expose your flushed cheeks again.

Infatuated by your giggly voice and flustered face, Pinkie initiates a cuddle, nuzzling her nose into your belly. It already tickles more than expected, but the softness of your clothing amplifies it. “EEK! Ahahahaha, Pihihihinkie!”

Fluttershy finally wraps her hind legs around you, completing the spoon. She squeezes you tight as her wings curl at the tips, feathering the sides of your belly. You are surrounded in a ticklish cuddle trap, as two of your favourite ponies make you squeak, laugh and smile wider than a horizon.

The nuzzling pauses as Pinkie glances up at you. “Is this what you’ve always dreamed about?”

Giving a response was proving difficult with each loving stroke from Fluttershy’s wings making you more hysterical. It really is a dream come true, and it feels so amazing. Feedback that you give in the form of a simple nod.

Pinkie Pie squees happily, grinning at Fluttershy. “Great! I knew they’d like it!” Her smile turns to a smirk. “So that protest when Fluttershy got under your arms was just denial?”

You weren’t expecting that. “Dahahahamn it, Pihihinkie! Stahahap calling me ouhouhouhouhout!”

Your pink tickler chuckles at this and calls for a break, with Fluttershy immediately ceasing tickling you.

“I-I didn’t go too far, d-d-did I?” She stammers, giving you an affectionate squeeze.

Panting and coming down from your ticklish high, you relax your head on her chest and look up. “Not at ahahall, Fluttershy! You’re doing great.” You assure with a squee inducing nuzzle, getting yourself hugged tighter by the cuddly mare.

Pinkie Pie, on the other hand, or hoof in this case, is eyeballing your feet. “Hey Fluttershy, you think you can use your wings on their... not hooves?”

“Huh? Yeah, I-I think so!” She answers enthusiastically.

“Woah, woah, wait a second. Her wings... on my feet?”

“I don’t have to if you don’t want-”

“N-no, I do, it's just...”

Pinkie smiles warmly. “Your own sensitivity making you nervous?”

Once more, you can only muster a nod.

The earth pony snuggles right up to you, nuzzling her snout under your chin. “You don’t have to be afraid, we’re looking out for you, and we're gonna make this everything you’ve ever wanted and more.”

“Exactly.” Fluttershy adds. “Plus, Pinkie’s the Element of Laughter; she can read emotions better than any pony I know, and if we were to make you laugh too hard or for too long, she could tell right away.” Her pink tail sways.

Pinkie Pie chuckles in agreement. “Laughter without joy is like a cupcake without icing: devoid of all sweetness and integrity. A monstrosity that no creature should be subjected to.” All three of you laugh at the silly, yet truthful analogy, as your anxiety turns to anticipation.

“F-Fluttershy?” You ask.

“Yes?”

“I think I require your winged expertise.”

Fluttershy snickers, letting Pinkie Pie take over as your cuddler. “Ooo, I like being the big spoon!” She encircles you with her legs and nose boops the back of your neck while Fluttershy straddles your legs. “A-alright, are you comfy?”

“Yup!” Pinkie responds.

“The human, Pinkie.”

“I am too!” You confirm.

It is then that you feel the sensation of pegasus wings stroking your feet. Not just pegasus wings, but Fluttershy’s, and they are just as soft as you imagined, sending an electrifying wave of ticklish euphoria through you. It catches you by surprise, and all you can do is emit a high pitched squeal before bursting into the loudest laughter you’ve experienced in a long time.

“AHAHAHAHA!! OHOHOHO MYHYHY GOHOHOSH, FLUHUHUHUTTERSHYHYHY!!”

Even the pegasus herself jumps a bit at your volume, giggling along with you softly. “Tickle, tickle!” She teases, timidness subsiding in the wake of seeing her new friend so happy.

“EEEHEEHEEHEEHEE!! SOHOHO SOFT!! IHIHIHI LOVE IHIHIHIT!!” You can’t help but confess the obvious, too besotted with the feeling washing over you.

Fluttershy has to focus on keeping up with your twitching feet, those gentle, velvet feathers of her’s kissing them passionately. Meanwhile, Pinkie Pie gently lays you flat on the bed so as to straddle your upper body and get snuggled up. She whispers sweet little teases in your ear, your giddiness rubbing off on her as she can’t get through them without laughing too.

“Aww, you're having so much fuhuhun!”

“Such a delicate human, what a treasure.”

“Do you wahahant more tickling, cutie?”

As soon as she asks, you answer. “YEHEHEHES PLEEEHEEHEEHEEASE MOHOHORE!” And wrap your arms around Pinkie as she nuzzles your neck.

Fluttershy is delighted to hear this, but has a feeling you’ll tire out soon. With that in mind, she switches into overdrive, brushing your feet back and forth with her wings as fast as she can for a few seconds, even getting under your toes. At that, your laughter goes silent, broken up by squeals and hysterical giggling. A joyful tear or two starts to run down your face.

Fluttershy stops immediately after three seconds, knowing she needs to give you a break. The yellow pony turns around with a smile. “All tickled ou-?” She cuts herself off with a gasp. “A-are those tears?!”

You can’t stop smiling and giggling as you lay there, panting and catching your breath. Though, Fluttershy scrambles up beside you regardless, sounding choked up. “I d-didn’t mean to go that far, I th-thought you had a little more e-energy and I-”

“F-Fluttershy!” You manage through your panting, propping yourself up with Pinkie still attached to you. “Fluttershy... you dorkus.” You chuckle as you regain your breath. As touched as you are by her concern, you inform her that you’re not hurt. “These are tears of laughter.” You grin and pull the pegasus into your hug with Pinkie Pie.

The earth pony nods reassuringly. “I was keeping my eyes on them, they were fine, Fluttershy.”

The pegasus exhales a shaky sigh of relief, a gentle smile gracing her lips. “Then allow me.” Her wings wipe your remaining tears, and you can’t help but giggle. From your angle, she looks like a guardian angel ensuring your saftey. Those motherly instincts are really showing through.

“Thank you, Fluttershy.” You bring her closer.

“Thank you for letting me tickle you silly.” You are met with a pure, loving smile, followed by a tender kiss on the left cheek.

You can't resist a flustered squeak, your eyes widening.

Pinkie Pie snickers. “Isn't that how all your ticklish dreams end?” The Element of Laughter plants a kiss on her side, eliciting a flustered moan from you.

“Ohhh, stop being so sweet!”

All three of you hug each other tighter, giggling amongst yourselves and falling back on the bed. That’s when the sound of a teleportation spell is heard from the corner of your room, accompanied by a deep, regal voice. “I take it you three have had a good time?” It begins with the audible tone of an upturned smirk.

Pinkie Pie beams. “Princess Luna!” Both ponies look to the alicorn trotting into view. “Yes, we did. The human is so much fun to be around.” She grins back at you as you sit up with them. “And they're really soft and cuddly.”

Flustered, you realize you haven’t greeted the royalty that is standing before you. You make a vain attempt to conjure a presentable posture. “Oh, my sincere apologies, your highness. I have neglected to formally introduce myself. My name is-”

Luna bites her lip before guffawing at you. “Ohoho, dearest human, there is no need for formalities at this time.” She looks you up and down. “I mean, you're wearing cute little pyjamas and are cuddled up in bed with two mares. We can simply talk casually here. What’s the word? To... chat?” A sheepish grin tells you that despite her words, she struggles to be informal anyhow. Knowing this shaves off a lot of tension as you chuckle at the princess’ demeanor.

You grin confidently. “In that case, what Pinkie said is true.”

“That you're soft and cuddly.” Luna smirks.

“I, uh... yes, that. But I meant that we had a wonderful time this morning.”

“Oh, I'm sure you did! After seeing some of your dreams and knowing what you three have been up to, I can only imagine the laughter that’s filled this room.” She snickers.

Blushing considerably, you smile. “Then what more do we need to say? Thank you P-Princess Luna, for helping these two visit me.” You hug them close to you. “They really made my day, and it’s only just started.”

Fluttershy and Pinkie can’t resist nuzzling you a little more, shortly followed by the princess herself joining in, tackling all three of you to the bed in a cuddle pile. “Your princess requires hugs too, you know!”

Despite all of you breaking into laughter, the weight of Luna’s alicorn form is a tad suffocating in this position, though you'd never say that to her face. Thankfully, she sits back up and yawns. “Unfortunately, it is getting close to my bedtime.”

Luna's horn lights up, magically opening your blinds a tad and letting the sunshine in. “Ugh, my mistake, I’m up way too late.” She closes them again and turns to the two ponies still clinging to you. “We all have to head back to Equestria now, I’m sorry to say.”

Pinkie Pie smiles sadly. “Could you help us visit them again sometime?”

“Yeah!” Fluttershy grins. “I want to spend more time with them soon.”

You can practically feel your heart melting while you look at Luna with the same pleading expression.

The princess giggles and winks at you. “I think that can be arranged.” She begins to cast a teleportation spell, focusing hard on her horn. “Come on you two, grab hold!”

Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie rush over to Luna and place a hoof on her side.

“See you later!” Fluttershy calls.

“It was so wonderful meeting you!” Pinkie adds.

“L-likewise, sweet human.” Luna smiles before letting out a grunt of effort, her magic illuminating the room as they vanish from sight... except for Fluttershy, who remains where she stands.

You rub your eyes before seeing her before you. “Fluttershy? Why are you still here?”

She rushes to you. “I let go of Princess Luna at the last second. Do you have a pen and paper?”

“What?” You stare, confused. “Uh... yeah, in the drawer over there.” You slowly point to your desk.

“Gotcha.” She opens the side drawer and grabs a notepad, taking a pen in her mouth.

“Fluttershy, what are you doing?”

No response, only the sounds of pen to paper. That’s when the flash of light returns and a panting Luna reappears, her voice frantic. “Fluttershy?! Fluttershy, where- Fluttershy!” The alicorn darts toward her. “Thank goodness you’re alright! What are you still doing here?”

She squeaks, looking down. “I-I was worried that the human might doubt we were actually here... wake up tomorrow thinking it was just another dream o-or something.” She looks at you and then the desk. “S-so I wrote them a note.”

Luna pauses. “I’m sure they appreciate it, but just tell me to wait next time. I thought I lost you between universes!”

Fluttershy’s voice lowers in volume and raises in pitch. “I-I-I’m sorry...”

“Luna?” You interrupt, immediately regretting your rudeness. “Please... don’t get mad at her. She was just being thoughtful, she’s okay.”

The princess looks at you and her face slowly drops, followed by a sigh.. “You’re right. I’m sorry, Fluttershy.” She smiles, wrapping her foreleg around the yellow pony’s neck in a hug. “The human’s right, that was sweet of you.”

You can’t help chuckling at how motherly Luna is to her friends and subjects. It doesn't surprise you, but is amusing all the same.

“What are you laughing at?” The princess smirks.

You snicker. “Mother Moonbutt.”

Fluttershy bites her lip and bursts out laughing, causing you to do the same. Luna’s face is flush, but even she can’t resist a smile. “Alright, alright, you win. Ready to depart?” She recenters her focus to Fluttershy.

The yellow pegasus nods, still giggling from the joke you cracked. “Suhuhure thing.”

Luna trots to the center of your room and casts the spell one last time, grunting louder as she puts in more effort to keep it up. “Come on!”

Fluttershy starts toward the princess before something catches the corner of her eye. “Oh!” She ducks down and picks up your Pinkie Pie plushie that got unceremoniously dropped on the floor when the two arrived.

“Thanks!” You hold it. “But where’s the other- gah!” Fluttershy hits you in the face with a plush of her own likeness before wrapping a foreleg around Luna. The two almost immediately vanish, with the last thing you hear being both ponies laughing at the perfectly aimed toss.

After crawling out of bed to get ready for the day proper, you take a look at your desk and realize you forgot to read the note left for you. Picking it up reveals very hastily scribbled but still legible writing.

“You were a joy to hang out with, and I just know we will again sometime soon. I know Pinkie Pie really wants to bring you to Equestria next time, though I’m not sure how all that would work considering you’d be the only human there.

Alsoyourlaughisreallyadorable,bye!”

The fact that the last sentence was presumably scribbled just as Luna teleported back makes you smile even wider. You place the note in your bedside table, so you’ll always know where it resides, and head out the door for a brisk morning jog. As the cool mid-morning wind hits your face, you take comfort knowing that this won’t be the last glimpse you’ll get of Equestria.
