Becoming close
Every day there's a chance to get close to someone. And one of the most intimate ways to get closer to someone special is to explore something new with them. The more intimate the situation, the greater the bond and more likely future interactions can lead to romance.

Zipp sat enjoying the food as the guards "kept watch. At first she kept an eye on them but after a little while of eating, it was made clear that they weren't going to do anything against them. So she decided to turn her attention to the surroundings. The flowers looked nice and the smell was nice. She felt light and warm. She kept looking around a bit before glancing at Blitz. Her eyes scanned from head to hoof before stopping at his…

Shaking her head she quickly looked away. "Knock it off, Zipp." She scolded herself. "Sure he's hot and you're both technically royalty. But that doesn't mean you can just fondle him with your eyes." Sighing she bit her lip and looked at him again before getting up.

Clearing her throat she spoke. "I'll be… right back. I need to… do lady stuff." She announced before moving to the treeline and pulling out her phone and switched on the communication so she could hear them. "Hey guys. I hope you're able to see everything."

"We can see just fine." Sunny replied. "And from what we can tell on our end, that place looks a lot less scary than the stories said it was."

"Other than that weird voice that is." Hitch added.

"What voice?" Zipp asked.

"It keeps saying something about returning something." He replied.

Zipp thought for a moment as she rubbed her chin. "If you can hear it… then there has to be an animal in the area. It might be the one responsible for why this place is so dangerous."

"Do you have an idea?" Izzy asked.

"Yeah…. But I may need to put you guys on a timed mute for a bit. Just… you know. Keep an eye on what's going on." She explained. After a few moments of hearing them laugh, she rolled her eyes and set up the timer before making her way back to the picnic.

"Everything ok?" Blitz asked.

"Yeah. One of my friends thinks an animal in the area had something stolen… or something like that." Zipp replied as she sat next to him. A part of her was glad he didn't really notice she was sitting closer than before. She looked at the picnic for a moment before taking a deep breath and setting the phone so the camera could see the guards.

She mentally counted down for when the timer would start. She looked him over and knew she wouldn't be able to hold back much longer. A part of her hoped he was thinking the same thing.

Blitz sniffed the air and looked over at Zipp seeing her blush and look him over. "Do you need to go behind the trees and take care of that?"

She knew he was being polite, but what she needed wasn't some privacy. "No… I don't think that'll help."

"Oh?... you mean…" Blitz cleared his throat and turned away. "Oh… ummm… do… Do you want help? I mean… I don't know how much help I can be… but…"

"Don't tell anyone… but you'd be my first too." Zipp admitted. "So… would you like to… you know…"

Blitz rubbed the back of his neck. "Honestly?..."

No more words were said as Zipp got in front of him and gave him a deep passionate kiss before falling back with him on top. It didn't take long for them to start exploring each other's bodies as things got heated between them.

Hitch sighed as he looked at the notes he took while he was still able to hear the video. He let Izzy watch the video as her horn used magic to keep notes of everything new they did. Which wasn't much.

As he looked over the notes, he noticed that the more he listened, the more he learned about what was going on. Was that place really dangerous or did whatever was talking cause them to change. What in the forest possibly has magic? What magic might be able to do this?

There were too many questions. And right now… it was a distraction from what he really wanted to study… correction. It was distracting him till the thought forced itself back to the front of his mind.

"Say… Izzy?... I was wondering something I heard about unicorns." He asked.

"What is it?" She asked, pocketing her notes.

"It's a private matter. Maybe we should…"

"TO THE LIGHTHOUSE!" She announced before trotting down the street.

Gathering his things, Hitch quickly followed.

Sunny sighed as her and Pipp rested their head on their hooves as Pipp's mom went shopping.

"How much do you want to bet they're banging?" Pipp asked.

"With a guy like that?" Sunny sighed. "They definitely are."

After a moment Pipp looked past the phone at the sorry guard that was carrying her mom's bags. "You know… if they weren't so willing to do whatever I say. I might actually let one… you know."

"Yeah." Sunny sighed as she watched the phone. "Zipp definitely hit the jackpot on guys." Just then she blinked at seeing something move in the trees. She quickly made a note about it and watched the guards looking into the trees as if they were waiting for something.
