Chapter 9 - True Feelings

Mike and Rara finally returned from their music session for the day, already tired after working on the entire album. Mike went straight to his laptop with a small camcorder in hand, while Rara went to the kitchen to see what Coco was cooking. Mike started to check on the camcorder, only to find out that the batteries were dead.

"Huh, looks like Coco forgot to turn it off like I told her to."

He took the camcorder's rechargeable batteries out and placed them in the charger. He then took out the memory card and inserted it into his laptop to find the video files and transfer them. As the transfer took place, Rara came to her room.

"Hey Mike, I'm going down to living room to chat with Coco for a while."

"Okay. It's going to be a while before I finish editing this," Mike replied. "I think Coco was still a bit new to this."

"I'll say," Rara replied. "I've never seen a camcorder that small and advanced here in Equestria."

"Oh, we still have those old tools for movies. But they have evolved to some degree. Some still keep the old tools as a part of history in the film industry."

"I would stay and listen, but I don't want to distract you with your work." With that, Rara made her way out of her room and went downstairs, leaving Mike to himself.

"Alright. Let's see how well you did here, Coco."

The video opens to Mike's face.

"Okay. You understand how this works, right?"

"I think so," Coco said from off view.

"Hey. Those replacement drum heads came in. Think you can help?"

Mike looks away for a moment. "Yea. Coming." He walks away from view.

The scene starts to move.

"Okay. My name is Coco Pommel. And I'll be taping the, what's he calling it... oh right, the behind the scenes tour of Mike and Rara. They're going to record their first album in this studio, which Mike says that it's a bit old from his world. I'm sure you humans would understand."

The scene moves into the studio and up to where there's a stallion with an orange coat and a blue-green bowl cut mane and tail behind the keyboard. He was wearing a white shirt, black pants, and a black vest with a patch of purple shades, which he was also wearing. Another stallion was working on the other side of the keyboard, connection cables. He had a mint green coat, a small, purple mo-hawk mane and tail, and was wearing a worn out white t-shirt and blue jeans.

"Now here we have our keyboard player, Night Shades, and our tech expert, Star Dancer."

"Well, hello there," Night Shades said in a British accent, lowering his shades so he could gaze into the camera. "Just so you know, I am single and ready to mingle." He winks.

"Don't listen to him," Star Dancer said as the scene turns to him. "Every time he tries to flirt, he always gets punched in the face by the mare's coltfriend."

"That was just that one time, Star. One."

"I recall it being more than once."

"Oh, shut up, Disco," Night Shades replied.

"Let's move on." The scene moves to the drum set, where Mike is working with a stallion with a lavender coat and a black buzz cut mane and tail. He was wearing a black tank top and blue jeans with holes in the knees. "This is our drummer, Beat Box."

"What's up," Beat Box replied. "It's nice to be back with the group again." Both of them are working on one of the tom-tom drums.

"May I ask what you're doing?"

"Replacing the old drum heads with some new ones," Beat Box explained. "Haven't played them in quite some time."

"There were cracks in some of the heads, so they needed to be replaced," Mike added.

"You must have done this before, haven't you?"

"Back in high school and college, I played bass drum in marching band," Mike explained. "I played the bigger bass drums, and helped out in tuning and replacing the heads when our percussion instructor brought new one to have them replaced. I learned how to tune this kind of stuff before I put my focus on the guitar."

"Wait, so they were no guitars in marching band?" Beat Box asked.

"Guitars were used for small bands like this group. You couldn't hear them out on a big field."

"Might have to see them one day."

"You should see the winter drum line competitions. That's where the real energy comes from. But it's been decades since I was a part of them, so there's no telling what's changed."

The scene then moves over to 2 stallions, each on a guitar. One was Disco Fever, who had a slick, black guitar. The other had a pink coat, a slick pink mane and tail, and was wearing a blue button-up shirt and black jeans. He was tuning his wooden bass guitar.

"And this is Rock Blast on bass, and Disco Fever on lead. Disco also works on the lyrics for the album."

"Heh, it's nice to be playing once again, doesn't it Rocky," Disco said.

"Better than ever," Rock Blast replied. "I've been dying to play this baby once again."

"Is everyone ready to play?"

The scene quickly turns around back to the entrance to the studio room where Rara just came in, wearing her signature countess outfit like before, with Applejack next to her.

"Just about," Disco said off screen.

"Oh, hey AJ. I wasn't expecting to see you here," Mike said off screen.

"I've been visiting my Aunt and Uncle Orange for a few days. Figured I make a visit and see how the album is coming along." She looks straight into the screen. "What in tarnation is that?"

"It's Mike's camcorder. He wants to do a... What's it called again?"

"A video blog." Mike replied off screen.

"A video blog?" Applejack asked. "Something to display in the human world?"

"Yup," Mike said off screen.

Just then, a voice sounded over the speakers. "If we're about ready, I want to do a sound test before we begin."

The scene moves towards the door, with Applejack and Star Dancer already walking through it first. The scene moves into a sound booth where Prance and another stallion with a blue coat, Purple spiked mane and tail, and wearing a purple t-shirt and blue jeans.

"And this is the last of the staff. Prance, who is in charge of the band, and Style Lights, who also works on some of the tech and makeup work."

"Uh, hi there," Style Lights nervously smiles and waves at the screen. "It's been a while since I've done this, so I'm getting a refresher with Prance's help."

"Since the group is about to record their album, I need to stop recording so that we don't spoil anything about the new album. I think it's... um, where do I-"

"I think I know where it is," Star Dancer said off screen before the scene starts to shake and is then cut off.

"Glad you could help, Star."

Mike went to the next clip that was listed.

"Hmm, it seems like this was taken during the lunch break."

The scene opens with the band and guest in the break room having lunch. Mike is at the stove cooking a grill cheese sandwich. Rara and Applejack are leaning on the counter eating their own sandwiches. Rock Blast, Star Dancer, Beat Box, and Night Shades are sitting around the table having their lunch, with Night Shades reading a magazine. Style Lights is next to the wall with a putter in his hands, playing some putt-putt golf.

"Alright. We're taking a lunch break so that Disco and Prance work on what's been done while we refresh ourselves."

"And so far, we have made good process," Style Lights added.

"Good? We're doing better than before," Rock Blast corrected before leaning back in his chair. "This is what we should have been doing all this time."

"I'll say this. You sure know how to make some real music," Applejack explained. "Not that flashy stuff that I first saw when you came to town."

"Hey Mike. I hear that there are different kinds of music in your world," Star Dancer said. "Did they have anything flashy there?"

"Well, it depends on the era," Mike replied, glancing back at the guys for a moment. "If you look into the late 1970s and the 1980s, they would have that kind to add to their music. Mostly with the keyboard, which is right up your alley, Night Shades."

Night Shades looked up towards Mike.

Mike continued. "The electric keyboard was starting to be new to the music world, with the arrange of sounds that it could create. And the most popular group would be Electric Lights Orchestra."

"You mean that group that sang that iconic song? What was it called again... Mr. Blue Sky?" asked Applejack.

"Exactly," Mike replied.

"Oh, I love that song," Rock Blast said.

"Who doesn't?" Mike asked sarcastically as he turned off the stove and took his grilled cheese sandwich and placed it on a plate.

"Oh Mike, I almost forgot to tell you. I was told that a music group from Earth is working with Sapphire to help produce this world's music to be sold there. If the sales go well, they would work on a US tour layout sometime in 2025."

"Really?" Mike said. "They have to take in which buildings to host the shows. We do have a few locations in Nashville that can host concerts."

"Well, if there is a US tour in the works, then I hope we all get to see the sites in the process," Style Lights said. "I want to see what your world has to offer."

"Including the ladies," Night Shades added.

"Good luck with that," Rara said. "If you can't hit it off with a mare here, then I doubt you'll have any luck with female humans."

Everyone laughs and Night Shades grunted before the scene ends.

"Going to have to teach Night Shades about the ladies in our world. Don't wanna damage relations in the process."

Mike decided to go to the last clip that was filmed.

The scene opens with Rara on the screen inside the studio room. She has changed out of her countess outfit and was now wearing her usual black sleeveless shirt and silver skirt that reached her knees. Applejack could also be seen at the edge of the screen, while the others are busy putting away their instruments in the background.

"Alright. This is Rara speaking. My real name is Coloratura, but Rara has become easier to go with. Anyways, we just finished recording our new album, which we won't reveal any details at this time. We had to redo one of the songs that we recorded earlier today because it somehow didn't sound right with the stallions in the booth. But we feel that this will be an album that you will all enjoy.

Now we did talk about a tour on Earth. Most likely in the United States, which is for Mike's benefit. But we do plan to start the multi-dimensional tour in Equestria, as originally intended. It will be a few months before that happens, and we want to get some feedback from Earth about our music before we start exploring those options.

So..." Rara clapped her hands. "I guess that's it for now. I know this is our first video that Mike plans to upload when he gets the chance. And we thank you all for watching. Bye."

The scene shakes before it goes black.

"Well, that was quick." But Mike noticed that there was an extra 5 minutes to this clip. And it was all in black.

"Is it off?" Rara asked.

"I think it is this time," Coco replied.

"Good. Can I talk with you girls for a moment?"

There was a sound of 3 ponies walking until a sound of a door closing was heard.

"This must have been when they walked out while we were putting all of the gear away," Mike said to himself.

"Okay, Rara. What do ya wanna talk about?" asked Applejack.

"It's... Mike."

"Is there anything wrong with you two?" Applejack asked.

"No, no. Everything has been fine," Rara replied. "It's just... I don't know how to explain it."

"Explain what?" asked Coco.

"Wait a minute. Your not in heat, are ya?" Applejack asked concerningly.

"I don't think so," said Coco. "If she was, we would be able to smell her scent by now."

"No girls! I'm not in heat!" Rara shouted certainly. "Just let me explain! It's... about us. I mean, I-I like him... I like him a lot. But it's just that... we're different species. He's a human and I'm a pony. I just... don't know how to... really come up to him and reveal my feelings for him. I mean, yes, we have been living together for quite some time. And there have been moments where... I felt this spark between us. But every time we try to do something, something or someone always keeps interrupting."

"You mean like that time Prance and Disco showed up at the house right when you two were about to kiss?" asked Coco.

"Yes. That was one of those times. The reason is that... I don't even know what moves to make without screwing up. What if our mating cultures are different from theirs? What if I do something that he dislikes? What if-"

"Now hold on there," Applejack interrupted. "If that's your problem, then let me tell you something that Twilight told me to tell you, because she knew something like this was gonna come up eventually. Word of advice Rara, just be yourself. Be up front and honest. I know Mike is new to Equestria, but he's one who's willing to understand our world the same way we're trying to understand his. So if you're ready to confess your true feelings for him, then just say it. That's all you gotta do."

"Okay. I understand." Rara replied.

Mike stopped the video. "So that's why she's been acting that way." Mike got up and grabbed his coat. That was when Rara came back from the living room.

"Hey Mike, is everything okay?"

"Yeah. I'm just... going out for a walk. Want me to get you anything while I'm out?"

"No thanks, I'm good. Are you sure you're okay?"

"Yes. I just need to get out on my own for a while. I'll be back in an hour."

"Alright. Don't be too long."

Mike left the room and made his way out of Coco's apartment complex. As he started to walk, he began thinking about what Rara just said in the video.

'I should have known that she would have those feelings for me. Because I've been feeling the same about her. And I still don't know about the differences between both of our worlds, so I really don't want to screw this up. Maybe I should talk to Applejack while she's still in Manehattan.'

Mike was able to learn where Applejack's aunt and uncle lived and made his way to the located building. Once he went inside, he was able to find the room that Applejack was staying at and knocked on the door, only to be met by Aunt Orange. She was able to quickly catch on and knew that he was here to see Applejack. Once she came to the door, she stepped out and closed the door so that they could talk outside of the room.

"Hey Mike, what brings you here?" Applejack asked.

"It's Rara."

Applejack had a feeling she was about to go through the same thing again.

"I was able to hear what you, Rara, and Coco were talking about after we finished recording."

"Oh dear. Did Coco forget to turn off that camcorder?"

"Probably. And it was able to catch what you three were talking about."

"And?"

"And... she's not the only one in this state."

Applejack raised an eyebrow. "Say again?"

"Not only does she have feelings for me, but I also have feelings for her."

"And let me guess. You don't know how to confront her about it, right?"

Mike nodded.

"And it's because she's a pony, and you're a human, right?"

Again, Mike nodded.

Applejack sighed and shook her head. "Twilight knew this was gonna happen." She looked at Mike and said, "Alright, word of advice, the best thing to do is just be yourself and just go with it. If you like her, and she likes you, I'm sure you can work it out. Sure you're gonna be learning new things with each other, but that's what we do in life, right? So, just tell her how you feel about her, and I'm sure everything will be alright."

"If that's the case, can you answer me one detail?"

"Shoot. Of course I would."

"What happens when a mare goes into heat?"

Applejack facepalmed, saying, "Can't believe I had to ask if she was in heat." She removed her hand from her face and looked at Mike. "When a mare goes into heat, it means they want to... mate."

"As in... what a married couple would do to have children?" Mike asked.

Applejack blinked for a moment. "Wow. you catch on real quick. The only thing to worry about is that mares could get very physical around stallions. Plus, they emit a... certain smell." This got Mike worried. "But it's nothing to worry about. Only stallions can pick up on this scent, but Prance and Coco already have a plan for whenever it does happen. So we can leave it to them to deal with this issue... whenever it comes up."

"What if she just... rubs her nose on my cheeks while we're asleep?" Mike asked.

"That's just a sign of affection." Applejack raised an eyebrow. "Has she already been doing that in bed?" Mike nodded. Applejack rolled her eyes. "Should have seen that one coming. I think that should be proof enough that she really likes you. All you need to do is be up front with her, and I'm sure she would do the same."

Mike started to feel relieved. "Thanks."

"No problem sugarcube. Now you get back there and make it work with her, ya hear." Applejack gave a light punch on Mike's arm, causing him to flinch. "Sorry. Forgot that we can be a bit stronger than humans."

"You don't have to remind me," Mike said, pointing to his nose.

Mike made his way back home so that he could confront Rara and tell her how he felt for her. But by the time he went into their bedroom, he saw her on his laptop looking at the videos. When he closed the door, it got Rara's attention.

"Mike! You're... back. Did you have a... good walk?"

"I... did," Mike replied, scratching the back of his head. "Were you... looking at the videos from earlier?"

"I was. And it was... well..." Rara was trying to come up with excuses, but knew now that she had to tell the truth. "I guess you heard about what I was discussing with AJ and Coco in private."

"I did. And I guess WE are having the same problem between us."

"Yes. About that. I-" She stopped for a moment. "Wait. Did you say... we?"

Mike nodded. "Yes. You're not the only one who's trying to understand about having a relationship with the other species and going to AJ for help. I mean, I also have feelings for you as well. We work together on music, we cook together, and we watch shows and movies together. Find ways to enjoy each other. It's just... I'm one of those guys who has a hard time trying to find out where that spark is between someone. Romance hasn't been one of my strong suits."

Rara giggled. "I guess that would make two of us."

"So... how do you feel about taking this couple thing to the next level?"

Rara went up to Mike and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Is that what they say in your world?"

"Is it working?"

A smile came across her face. "Kinda. But I'm ready if you are. Just one step at a time. I'm sure we don't want to rush it so fast."

"That makes for the two of us," Mike responded with a smile.

"Oh, I hope you didn't get into the 'heat' discussion with AJ, did you?"

Mike looked away for a moment. "Maybe. But she said that it's nothing to worry about."

"Good. Because she has been worried about her little sister going into heat. Even though I keep telling her that she still got a long way to go before that would happen, but she just never listens. So, what do we do next?"

"Well, tomorrow I have to go back to Earth to take care of extending the rent back at my house. I also need to meet up with my race teams to reveal my cars for this upcoming racing season. And since you already have your passport, I want you to come along with me. Get a chance to see more of my world and become more familiar with it. Plus, I need to get those videos uploaded and edited, for the world to see."

"Just as long as you delete those last 5 minutes of the last video. I don't want anyone knowing about what just happened."

"Don't worry, I'll delete those last 5 minutes of the last video, first thing tomorrow morning."

"Good."

Rara and Mike's lips started to get closer and closer. Then, finally, after so many ruined moments... the two finally shared their first kiss. They closed their eyes as their lips met for the first time. After a few seconds, they broke the kiss and stared into each other's eyes.

Rara then let go of Mike and started to make her way towards her bedroom's joint bathroom. "I'm going to get a shower. Care to... join me?" She looked back while giving Mike a cheeky wink.

This almost got Mike a bit red on the cheeks. "Uhhhh..... you're not gonna punch me in the face again, are you?"

"That was an accident. Okay, more like a bad reflex. But I'm being for real this time."

Mike took off his coat and hung it on the bedframe. He then took off his shoes and socks and placed them near his suitcase. "Well, at least we get to save on the water bill for once."

Rara laughed. "Oh, you have a bad way of making an excuse for something, don't you? But I'll let it slide for now."

Both of them made their way to the bathroom, closing and locking the door behind them.

Once inside the bathroom, Mike locked the door behind them. He then took a look around. The bathroom was your typical, run of the mill, bedroom-joint bathroom that you would normally see in a master bedroom. In front of the bathroom was the sink and mirror. On the left side of the sink, Mike could see his toothpaste, toothbrush, and deodorant. On the right side of the sink, he could see Rara's own toothpaste, toothbrush, and deodorant. As well as her perfume, make-up, and nail polish. A bottle of hand soap, Mike's come, and Rara's hairbrush were also on the sink's counter. To the right side of the bathroom were the toilet and shower. The toilet was right beside the door, while the shower was right beside the sink. They were separated by the shower's back wall. Mike could also see that the shower was one of the more fancier sliding door showers, rather than the traditional curtain showers. To the left side of the bathroom, Mike could see a towel rack. He blushed when he saw the towel that was currently hanging on it. It was the same towel that Rara was wearing when he accidentally walked in on her. Finally, on the back of the bathroom, right beside the door, was another door, and a laundry basket.

"Hey what's that other door?" Mike asked Rara.

Rara looked at it. "Oh. That's a closet for extra towels," she replied. "Well, I might as well give one to you, since... we are showering together."

Mike couldn't help but blush even more as Rara walked over, opened the towel closet, grabbed a towel, and gave it to Mike, before closing the closet. "Y-yeah, t-t-thanks," Mike stammered as he set the towel down on top of the toilet.

"No problem."

The two looked at each other for a few minutes before Rara gave Mike a cheeky grin. Mike's heart skipped a lot of beats and his stomach churned. He knew exactly what was gonna happen now.

"I suppose we should get started," Rara grinned as she took a few steps back and gripped the hem of her black sleeveless shirt. All Mike could do was watch, completely transfixed, as Rara undressed.

Rara pulled her shirt up and over her head, revealing a black, lacy bra. She then tossed the shirt into the laundry basket and grabbed the hem of her silver skirt. Rara pushed her skirt down her hips, revealing a matching pair of black panties. She also revealed her cutie mark, which Mike could see was a gold star with colorful musical notes all over it. Rara stepped out of her skirt and tossed it into the laundry basket. Then, she reached behind her back.

'Click!'

The sound of Rara's bra being undone was VERY audible. Mike could only continue watching with his mouth gaping as Rara gripped the bra's shoulder straps and then... slid it down her arms. Her breasts bounced as they were freed from their cloth prison. Rara tossed the bra into the laundry basket. Then, with both hands... she gripped her panties. She turned around, then, in one slow motion... she pulled her panties down, bending over as she did so. Mike didn't say anything out loud, but his now perverted mind did. 'DAMN!!! Now THAT's a butt.'

Rara stepped out of her panties and tossed them into the basket. Now, she was naked. And being a celebrity pony, she was a complete woe to any perverted stallion who would give up their entire bank account just to see her nude.

"Ah." Rara sighed in content as a breeze from the bathroom's air conditioner went through her nude body, giving off a rather refreshing feeling. She threw her arms behind her head in an attempt to feel the breeze more, but all that did was make her look more attractive than she already was.

Rara then looked towards Mike and giggled. "Well, what do you think? Like what you see?"

This caused Mike to finally break from his trance. He shook his head furiously. "Uh! Uh! Uh!"

Rara giggled again. "Don't answer that," she said. "It's clear that you do." She took arms out from behind her head and took a step back. "Well, go on. I'm showing what I've got. Now show ME what YOU'VE got."

Mike then gave Rara a grin of his own. This was a legitimate tease, so he decided to get back at her. "Oh, I will," he said as he gripped his shirt and pulled it up over his head.

Rara watched, becoming more and more interested as Mike, now shirtless, threw his shirt into the laundry basket, gripped his pants, and pulled them down, revealing his boxers. He stepped out of his pants and threw them into the laundry basket. Now it was his boxers. He looked at Rara, who was still grinning and gave him an undress signature with her index finger. Mike greatly obliged, and pulled down his boxers.

Rara's eyes went wide as his penis sprung out into view. 'Oh my. That's... a big one.'

Mike stepped out of his boxers and threw them into the laundry basket. Now, he too, was naked.

They both stared at each other's nudities. Mike took notice of Rara's breasts. They were the perfect size, not too big, not too small, and no sagging. Her nipples were a darker color from her coat and were perfectly in the middle. And then there's her butt. Round, plump, and her butthole was perfectly in the middle. Meanwhile, Rara took notice of Mike's bare chest. She couldn't get over how manly it looked. And then there's his penis. It was just dangling from between his legs and Rara could also see how different it was compared to a stallion's one. After a few more minutes of staring and admiring each other's nudities, Mike and Rara furiously shook their heads. They were here to take a shower, not to have sex. But that didn't stop them from complementing each other.

"You're really sexy."

Rara blushed and giggled at the compliment. "You're not so bad yourself, hot stuff."

The two finally managed to get a grip on their sexual thoughts and began walking towards the shower. Mike grabbed the glass door and slid it open. "Ladies first," he said casually.

"Why thank you," Rara said as she stepped into the shower. Mike couldn't help but notice Rara's breasts jiggling and bouncing with every step she took. He shook his head for the umpteenth time and stepped into the shower behind Rara closing the door behind him.

Rara then turned on the shower head. Water rained down soaking them both. They decided to keep the water cold in order to keep their arousals at bay. After soaking for a few minutes, Rara turned to face Mike.

"Mind if I get you first?" she offered.

"Sure," Mike replied as he turned around.

Rara grabbed a bar of soap and began rubbing Mike's back with it. Mike moaned as Rara gently massaged his back, while rubbing the bar of soap on areas he couldn't reach. Mike suddenly felt Rara touch his butt and looked back at her.

"Hey, I got to clean EVERYTHING on you," she said offended. "Even your private areas."

Mike said nothing and just let Rara continue to do her thing. After a few more minutes of awkward... touching, Rara reached over to the shampoo bottles.

"This one's yours, right?" she asked as she showed Mike a bottle that read, 'Head & Shoulders'.

"Yes," Mike replied.

Rara squeezed the bottle. "Close your eyes," she asked sweetly as she poured the shampoo onto her hand before rubbing it all over Mike's hair. Mike complied and suddenly felt Rara rubbing her soapy hands all over his hair. He was surprised with how gentle her touch was. After a few seconds of rubbing and scrubbing, Rara took her hands off Mike's head.

"Alright, you can go ahead and rinse."

Mike stepped under the running water and rinsed the soap out of his hair. After that he took his body wash and began washing his front and armpits.

"Are you sure you don't want me to wash the rest of you?" Rara offered.

"No," said Mike certainly. "I'm good thank you." And with that, Mike coated his body in body wash before rinsing it off.

After doing so, he looked at Rara. The nude pop-star was now completely wet from mane to hoof, making her look even more... hot. Mike shook his head and grabbed the bar of soap. "Well, you washed me. So, I think it's fair I wash you."

Rara blushed and turned around, her back now facing Mike. Mike couldn't help but stare at her butt. If there was one feature about Rara that he had to choose as his favorite, it would have to be her butt. He quickly snapped out of it, hoping Rara didn't catch him staring. But unfortunately, he was wrong. Rara looked back at him and smirked. She then bent over and wiggled her butt back and forth while giggling.

"Can't resist my rear end?" She asked teasingly as she shook her butt again.

"Okay stop that please!" Mike ordered.

Rara giggled and stood back upright. Mike just sighed and began rubbing the bar of soap all over her back. Rara gasped as she felt the cold object rub all over her.

"Raise your arms please." Mike asked. Rara complied and Mike began rubbing the soap bar over her armpits. After a few more seconds of rubbing, Mike grabbed an unlabeled bottle of body wash. After pouring some body wash into his hands, he began massaging Rara's back with them. Rara let out an even louder gasp. Mike was touching her, and he was touching her while she's naked... and sweet celestia, it felt so good. It wasn't long before Rara began moaning and sighing as her mind went completely blank.

"I've said this before and I'll say it again," Mike whispered loud enough for Rara to hear. "You're so soft and fuzzy."

Rara blushed and looked away shyly. That was the same thing Mike had told her on that day when he accidentally walked in on her.

Rara had never felt so relaxed and soothed in her whole life. Mike was currently applying body wash all over including her front. The sensations were unbelievable. 'Sweet Celestia, I really, really needed this.' However, the sensations suddenly came to a crashing end when Rara suddenly felt pressure on her... chest. "Oh!"

Mike immediately stopped what he was doing as he realized what he had just touched. Rara looked back at him.

"Rara, I-"

"Keep doing that!"

"Wait what?"

"Keep doing that!"

Mike was shocked. Rara was asking him to keep touching her breasts. Seeing that Rara wanted more, Mike complied and began groping her. Rara moaned as her bosom was squeezed.

"Oh sweet celestia, this feels so good," Rara moaned.

But then suddenly, Mike stopped. Rara looked back at him with a pout. "W-Why did you stop?" she demanded.

"Because," Mike explained. "I'm done getting you all soapy."

Rara looked down at her body. Truth to Mike's words, she was all soapy. Her entire body was coated in body wash.

"Well, go on. Go ahead and rinse."

Rara stepped under the running water and rinsed all of the soap from her body.

Mike then grabbed a pink shampoo bottle and opened it. "Now, close your eyes."

Rara complied and Mike poured a sizeable amount of shampoo onto his hands and began to rub her mane. Rara sighed in content as Mike scrubbed every single part of her mane.

"Don't forget my tail," said Rara.

Mike smiled and began rubbing the shampoo all over Rara's tail. Once her mane and tail were all soapy, Rara rinsed them off. Now, with their bodies all cleaned and washed, Mike and Rara decided to call it and Rara turned off the shower head. As the water began to drain away, Mike slid the glass door open, and carefully stepped out onto the drying mat. He then took Rara's hand and carefully helped her out too. Rara then walked over to the towel rack, while Mike grabbed his towel from where he left it.

After wrapping her towel around her nude body, Rara grabbed a hair dryer and turned it on. She began humming a sweet little tune as Mike wrapped his towel around his waist and joined her at the sink.

"You know, if I didn't know any better, I'd say you wanted me to join you in the shower because of what happened that morning," Mike said completely convinced that that was the reason.

Rara smiled as she turned off her hair dryer. "Well, what do you think?" she asked as she grabbed her hairbrush and began brushing her mane.

"Either it's the part where I said that you were soft and fuzzy or the part where your towel fell when you went to hug me." Mike replied.

Rara blushed at the memory. "Well, it could be either one or it could be both of them."

Mike smiled and left the bathroom.

Mike changed into his white v-neck shirt and dark blue shorts for the night. As he began to lay down on the bed, Rara stepped out of the bathroom, still wearing her towel. Mike watched as Rara walked towards her closet. Purposefully leaving the closet door opened, Rara dropped her towel, revealing her nudity once more. Mike sighed, she was clearly teasing him.

Rara slipped on a pair of black running shorts and a black sports bra. She then grabbed her towel from the floor, and put it in the laundry basket in the bathroom. Rara then picked up the laundry basket and headed downstairs where Coco was preparing to gather up some laundry for tomorrow. After dropping off the laundry basket, Rara made her way back to her room. She climbed into the bed and joined Mike as the two pulled the covers over them.

"So, your going to reveal the race cars you're running this upcoming year?" Rara asked.

"Yes," Mike replied.

"What do they look like?"

"You'll see."

Mike and Rara smiled at each other and shared another kiss on the lips.

"Goodnight Sweetheart," said Mike.

"Goodnight," replied Rara.

Mike then turned off the light and the two began to snooze away.

To Be Continued.
