The 13 became 5

When Terramar got a message from Ponyville that a celebration was being held for the cutie mark crusaders in an effort to make sure Scootaloo wasn't dragged to Shire Lanka by her parents, he was initially a little bit skeptical. He belonged on Mount Aris and in Seaquestria, to travel all the way to Ponyville for one celebration was quite a big ask... then again, the princess and her friends had traveled further than that to save the world from the storm king, plus the cutie mark crusaders did allow him to effectively communicate to his parents that he wanted enjoy the best of both worlds on Mount Aris and Seaquestria... the best he could do is offer to repay the favor and travel to Ponyville.

When Gabby got a message from Ponyville that a celebration was being held for the cutie mark crusaders in an effort to make sure Scootaloo wasn't dragged to Shire Lanka by her parents, she was absolutely delighted! Sure it was a bit of a long journey to Ponyville from her home town of Griffonstone but it wasn't like she hadn't had to do the journey before, after all, Gilda and Rainbow Dash had remained fairly decent pen pals ever since they resolved their differences. Gabby was just wondering which of them would ask out the other first. One thing that did confuse Gabby was why she was invited, she didn't have a cutie mark despite having a cuteceañera and although the cutie mark crusaders had helped her realize exactly what it was she was good at, she didn't have a cutie mark, it wasn't possible. Then again... she had technically been made an unofficial member of the cutie mark crusaders and they had made a little badge resembling their own cutie marks that she could wear on her hip, can't very well celebrate the cutie mark crusaders if the fourth member didn't show up!

Little did the two of them know that, despite being two such different creatures who lived so far apart that they may as well have come from two different worlds, their one little connection to the cutie mark crusaders would lead to a most unlikely romance.

During the celebration, Terramar and Gabby had briefly noticed each other and noted in their own minds how surprising they found it that either species was even there. Through a silent conversation they had through facial expression alone, they decided that at some point when every pony was giving their speech about how special the cmc were to Scootaloo's parents, that they should step forward to really hammer home the point that taking Scootaloo away to Shire Lanka was a bad idea. The perfect moment came when Rainbow said to Scootaloo's parents "Oh it's waaaaay more than just a club, the cmc's have made a difference for every pony here!"

That's when Terramar and Gabby stood forward as Terramar proudly proclaimed "And not just ponies, they help every creature" shortly before sharing a fist bump with Gabby. It seemed that stepping forward to show just how extensive, far-reaching and beneficial it was to have the cutie mark crusaders around and, more importantly, together, had been enough to convince Scootaloo's parents to go to Shire Lanka without dragging Scootaloo along with them.

Once everything had settled down, Gabby turned to Terramar and went "What a roller coaster! Great idea on your part to have us come forward to really show those two that taking Scootaloo away was a bad idea. I never expected to meet a hippogriff and I'm sure you never expected to meet a griffon! I must apologize, I realize that I tend to be a bit of a chatterbox and we were never formally introduced! My name's Gabby, nice to meet you!"

Gabby extended a hand, which Terramar took and shared a handshake as he said "Terramar, it's my pleasure! Also I wouldn't worry too much about the whole chatterbox thing, I'm not a big talker so it's nice to meet someone who, if I don't say anything, can fill the gaps in the conversation until I have something to say!" Gabby and Terramar chuckled, Gabby's outgoing and bubbly personality perfectly complimenting Terramar's reclusive awkwardness.

Gabby said "So, what's it like where you're from? I know almost nothing about your people apart from the name and the fact that you live on a remote mountain somewhere out at sea! Think you can clue me in on a few things? Only if you're comfortable talking about it of course, I wouldn't wanna make you feel uncomfortable or talk about stuff you'd rather not talk about. In fact, I can tell you a few things about griffons first if you like!"

Terramar smiled and said "No no, it's OK. Well, our village is on a mountain, it's called Mount Aris. It's not anything too special, it's kind of like any other small village in the world really, although there is one area called Harmonizing Heights. It's a really serene spot on the mountain that makes you feel really at one with nature, it's basically untouched by civilization except for one gate that is only really there to make the entrance stand out so that people can visit it. I also get the benefit of enjoying Seaquestria though, it's not exactly common knowledge at the moment but every hippogriff possesses a necklace with a pearl shard that has the ability to transform any creature into a form more suited to aquatic life, so I kind of get the best of both worlds!"

Gabby gasped in genuine intrigue and went "Wow, that sounds amazing!"

Terramar chuckled awkwardly and said "Yeah, I guess it is! What can you tell me about where you live? I know it's called Griffonstone and... um, not to be offensive but... you don't exactly act like a griffon, don't they have a reputation for..."

Gabby interrupted to finish his sentence by going "For being rude and greedy?"

Terramar gulped and sweat ran down his forehead as he stammered and stumbled in an effort to apologize "I.. I d-d-didn't mean.. that is I... what I mean... I mean you're not-"

Again he was cut off as Gabby giggled, pushing a finger to his beak and saying "Relax, you're right! Though it seems I'm the one exception to that stereotype, Griffonstone is also a pretty run down village, so I guess it's basically the opposite to where you live"

Terramar swallowed his fear and said "Sorry... I didn't mean to act... weird..."

Gabby giggled once again and went "You're not weird, you're just a little clumsy with your words in a cute and charming kind of way" as her tail, somewhat involuntarily, swung around and brushed it's tip along Terramar's body from his belly to his neck before giving a playful flick to his chin. Terramar just blushed and when Gabby caught up with what she did, she blushed even harder and went "Ah.. I'm s-sorry about that! I don't meet a lot of nice guys and... well my body... n-n-no never mind! I just... sorry?"

There was a brief pause before Terramar started chuckling, Gabby furrowed her brow slightly and went "What's so funny?"

Terramar calmed down before going "Well, it's just you teased me for being kind of awkward but then your tail acted against your own will and you became just as awkward just because you accidentally gave away that you kind of like me"

Gabby blushed and turned away and went "Well, it's embarrassing! We've only just met and I'm already feeling.... y'know, the kind of feelings most young women get around a guy they like. Do you... feel a similar way about... me?"

Terramar had to stop and pause for thought, if Gabby meant what he thought she meant, then she would be feeling quite hot under the collar due to a certain yearning. Both of their cultures, like almost every other species, saw no need for clothing in day to day life and the telltale signs of sexual arousal such as a moist pussy or a throbbing erection were either well hidden by fur or just kept behind closed doors. Terramar looked Gabby up and down, he had to admit that she was actually very attractive with her curvaceous figure all topped off with a perfectly pretty face, she was more good-looking than most hippogriff girls he had seen and the primal part of his mind was going "Yeah, I'd totally fuck her"

Though being a gentleman, Terramar smiled and said "Yeah... I would say I like in that... that kind of s-sense"

There was a major lull in the conversation, silence filled the gap before Gabby just blurted out "You wanna visit my place?!"

Terramar, taken slightly aback by having a question suddenly shouted at his face, just went "What?"

Gabby cleared her throat and sheepishly said "Sorry, what I mean to say is... would you like to visit Griffonstone? I know that it's a long flight back to your home and... since I don't get a lot of company it would be nice to have a friend over for the night, I know Griffonstone is still a little bit far but I don't mind flying us there, then maybe tomorrow I could visit Mount Aris!"

Terramar stared vacantly at Gabby's grinning face, painting a picture of pure delight mixed in with a little hope... before he made the same expression and replied "Sure!"

The journey turned out to be quite pleasant and Gabby had no trouble flying as she carried Terramar on her back, though she did have to put in a little more effort than usual to account for the extra weight and Terramar found it extremely uncomfortable to constantly plead with his body not to get an erection and poke Gabby on the small of her back just because they were engaging in what might as well have been just a hug in mid-air.

Upon touching down in Griffonstone, Terramar could see what Gabby had meant about the place being a little rough around the edges, what had happened to this place? As expected, every other griffon was wearing a scowl, though it seemed that either tales of griffons and their grumpiness were rather exaggerated or maybe the griffons had lightened up a little. Gabby and Terremar made their way through the village before ducking into Gabby's hut, which contained nothing but a bed and a few cooking supplies.

The two of them just stared at each other before Gabby said "So... this is my home..."

Terremar nodded and went "Yeah... um... Gabby, if it's not too forward... I'd just like to know, are you a...a... a v-v-v-vir... a..."

Gabby got the picture and shook her head as she said "No... I mean, assuming that doing stuff alone counts... nobody else has um... done stuff with me..."

Terramar actually let out a sigh of relief, he had never had sex before and didn't want to give a bad impression, now he knew that she couldn't draw any comparison and was as much of a beginner as he was, so they could have some of the most clumsy and amateur sex in the world and they'd probably still experience some level of enjoyment once they got past whatever discomfort there was. Terramar looked at Gabby, thinking about how lucky he was before going "Gabby... do you think we're.... moving too fast? Do you think we are kind of rushing into this?"

Gabby just went "I... I don't know, I mean... what is this? Is this a one time thing or are we getting into a relationship?"

Terramar honestly didn't know an so he said "I'm not sure... I don't think either of us are sure yet... it could be either, there's a lot that we don't know..."

Gabby just looked up and down at Terramar, admiring his effeminate and yet equally masculine body, he looked to be young and boyish but with little hints here and there on certain parts of his physique that those with a trained eye would clue them in to the fact that he was indeed a man capable of handling a woman. She liked this guy a lot.

Gabby threw caution to the wind and said "You know what? Fuck it, I don't care what this becomes, I just know that I want you" throwing her arms around Terramar's shoulders and pushing her beak against his, giving as passionate a kiss as one bird-like creature could to another. Terramar's eyes widened for a second before he immediately reciprocated, the two of them moaning into each other's mouths as they started stumbling towards Gabby's bed. Gabby fell back onto her bed, bringing Terramar with her as she refused to stop kissing him, they only stopped kissing after Terramar had gotten situated in between Gabby's legs and had reached the crucial moment in every young man's life where he would penetrate and feel the flesh of another person, officially losing his virginity.

Gabby brought a hand down to her sopping wet folds and used two fingers to spread herself open, assisting Terramar as he inched his rock hard member towards her glistening entrance so that he could finally claim her. Terramar's first attempt to push inside wasn't exactly successful, Gabby's sopping cunt was more slippery than he thought and his aim was sent off course, his cock sliding away from her nethers and ending up pressed against her thigh. Terramar backed up a little and tried again, this time successfully burying his inexperienced yet eager cum cannon into Gabby's depths until he was fully hilted inside her, his round heavy balls resting comfortably against her soft and warm buttocks.

There was barely any noise apart from small whimpers of pleasure that neither of them were entirely prepared for, they immediately held each other in a tight hug, Gabby's impressive bust smooshing up against Terramar's decently muscular pecs as he slowly started to rock back and forth, slowly and softly pumping his cock in and out of his very first pussy. Gasps of elation escaped their throats, Gabby had never had anything bigger than her own finger inside her and was now wishing she had met Terramar sooner, his dick was to die for. Terramar on the other hand was marveling at just how warm and how wet it was to be inside Gabby, not to mention the way her muscles rippled along his length as if urging him to just bust a nut.

Gabby wrapped her legs around Terramar's waist and whispered in his ear "You're so good... this feels amazing, I hope you like my body..."

Terramar didn't respond much more beyond a grunt, which Gabby found understandable as she went "Good... oohh fuck I'm almost there, I like that you're being so gentle but please don't hold back... if you want to go harder or faster then do it... I trust you to make me feel good, so trust me when I say you can use me however you like... I am yours..."

Terramar felt like Gabby was almost requesting that he be a little bit rougher with her and he wasn't about to disappoint her. Terramar did his very best to stave off his orgasm as he steeled his determination and started pounding Gabby like his very life depended on it, Gabby yelped in surprise at just how vigorous Terramar was being, though she wasn't complaining in the slightest and quickly found herself being rushed towards her climax. Gabby wrapped her legs tighter around Terramar's waist as she went "Oh my goodness, Terramar you're so... ah! Oh fuck! Holy shit! I'm gonna... I'm about to... OoOoOhHhh YES I'M CUMMING!!!"

Gabby came harder than she ever had before when masturbating, the walls of her pussy squeezed on Terramar's turgid tool and bathed it in the warmth of Gabby's juices. Terramar groaned as he held himself as deep inside Gabby's fuck hole as he could and allowed the dam to break, his balls tensed as he fired off several ropes of hot virile spunk that went crashing against Gabby's cervix. The two of them rested in that position, hot, sweaty and panting in exhaustion. They didn't know yet if this sex was a one-night stand, a friends with benefits deal or maybe even a romantic relationship, though for that moment they simply enjoyed each other's embrace and basked in the afterglow, feeling more satisfied than they ever had before.

The End
