WTF is Buckball?

It was a warm day, and there was no shade. Quibble Pants wished he'd worn his official Daring Do pith helmet to keep the sun at bay, but... he'd made a promise not to wear that hat in public anymore. The sun beat down on him from above, and his mane felt like a damp hot cloth sitting on top of his head. Luckily, though, the action on the field held enough of his attention that he didn't mind the heat.

"Getting into it now?"

Quibble jolted. He'd been staring again. Next to him, Clear Sky was watching him with a sly smile. He reddened slightly.

"I... uh, yeah, I think I'm starting to get the hang of how this game works..."

Clear Sky nuzzled his neck.

"I told you, you really don't have to try so hard," she said. "But you are sweet for trying."

"No, really," stammered Quibble. "I really do think I'm starting to figure it out..."

Clear Sky smiled again, and gave him a light peck on the cheek.

"You're so cute when you try to lie," she said. "Anyway, I missed lunch and I'm starving. I think I'm going to head to the snack bar and grab a hayburger or something. Want anything?"

"Um... a water would be nice..."

Clear Sky stood and walked off towards a makeshift concession stand at the edge of the field. Quibble sat on the bleachers watching her go, still feeling a bit flustered.

She hadn't been wrong: he absolutely was lying. He still had no idea how this game was played. Even after sitting through dozens of these practice matches and buying a book ("The Complete Moron's Guide to Buckball"), he was still no closer to discovering why so many ponies found the act of kicking a ball back and forth to be so damned interesting. Even the book had bored him. A book. Had bored him.

However, being caught in a lie was not why he'd gotten so flustered just then. He really had been watching the field quite intently, he just... hadn't been watching the game.

Out on the field, the foals continued to play their game. It was just a friendly practice match, not a competition or anything, but they were clearly giving it their all. Quibble's eye was once again drawn to one foal in particular.

At that moment, Clear Sky's daughter Wind Sprint was... well, Quibble still wasn't sure exactly what she was doing. She was doing whatever the pegasus on a buckball team was supposed to do. Kicking a ball back and forth until eventually it went into one of two baskets, it would seem. However, for Quibble, it wasn't so much what she was doing as how she looked doing it.

Watching Wind Sprint play buckball was something else. At home, she always seemed so glum and sour, or at least that was the way she behaved whenever Quibble was around. But out here on the field, it was like she suddenly came alive and started glowing. He watched her zip around the field, her little wings straining as she chased the ball back, her short-cropped mane flying behind her in the wind, her young body glistening with sweat...

Quibble jolted, shaking his head. He glanced guiltily around to see if Clear Sky had returned, but she was still over by the concession stand. He shook his head again. He really needed to stop thinking this way. Why couldn't he stop? He'd never had these kinds of thoughts about foals before. Why now, and of all the fillies he could have possibly noticed, why his special somepony's daughter?

He knew the answer, of course, but that didn't make things any better or easier.

The earth pony on the other team made a low pass. Wind Sprint dove to intercept it, her legs splayed out in front and behind her, and for just a split second Quibble had a full view of the underside of her body, including the little bumps of her undeveloped teats. He reddened a little and looked quickly away. He really needed to stop thinking like this.

Clear Sky was returning from the concession stand, a small tray of food and a couple of bottles of water floating in the glow of her horn. She smiled prettily when she saw him looking at her, and he waved. She was an absolute knockout, there was no question about it. She could look beautiful and graceful doing just about anything, even something as mundane as carrying a couple of hayburgers back to the bleachers at a foals' buckball game.

Quibble knew she was way out of his league. In the beginning he'd wondered if dating him was some kind of a dare that one of her marefriends had put her up to, but he no longer worried about stuff like that. They had only been together for a couple of months, but it was clear that she genuinely loved him. Even Quibble wasn't dense enough to miss that much. She'd even been willing to go to that Daring Do convention with him, and damned if he hadn't enjoyed the jealous looks he got from the other dweebs the whole time they were there. An absolute knockout of a mare was in love with him, and he couldn't stop ogling her prepubescent daughter. A daughter that hated his guts, no less. What the hell was wrong with him?

Again, he knew the answer, but...

"I'm back. Sorry I took so long." Clear Sky sat down next to Quibble. "I got you a hayburger, too. I figured you'd be hungry."

Quibble felt his stomach rumble, and accepted the hayburger gratefully. He hadn't even realized that he was hungry. Was this mare a catch, or was she a catch?

"Thanks," he said, and he meant it. He took a big bite out of the hayburger, maybe a little too big. An enormous glob of ketchup squirted out of the back and landed right on his shirt. Why did he always wear a shirt to these things?

"What did I miss?" asked Clear Sky, pointedly looking out towards the field and ignoring the mess he was making.

"Uh, well..." said Quibble.

His mind raced, trying to recall something, anything, from The Complete Moron's Guide to Buckball that he could use to answer that question. Preferably something that didn't involve photo-accurate descriptions of Wind Sprint's teats.

"Uh, well," he began again. "They, uh... they're really bucking that ball out there."

He glanced at Clear Sky to see if she'd bought it. She was watching him with a smirk on her face. She reached out with her hoof, running it slowly up the center of his barrel until it scooped up the glob of ketchup. Then, she brought her hoof to her muzzle and licked it off.

"You don't have to try so hard," she told him for the second time that day. Quibble grinned sheepishly. "But it makes me happy that you do."

She nuzzled her head against his neck, and Quibble felt the warmth of her body pressing up against his. Out on the field, he saw Wind Sprint hovering in the air, watching them. She scowled briefly, and then returned her attention to the game.

~~~~~~~~~~ Two Weeks Earlier ~~~~~~~~~~

Quibble wiped the sweat from his brow with a fetlock. Clear Sky's house was near the top of the hill, and lugging the wagon behind him didn't make the climb any easier. He stopped at the edge of the lawn, trying to catch his breath.

"Oh hi, Quibble, thanks for coming!"

He looked up to see Clear Sky standing at the front door. He smiled weakly at her, still wheezing.

Jeez, I'm just glad the kid isn't here to see this, he thought. The hill wasn't particularly steep, and the wagon was empty, but he'd still gotten winded making this climb. I really am out of shape.

He met Clear Sky halfway up the driveway, and the two of them embraced quickly.

"The stuff's here in the shed," she told him, leading him to a squat little outbuilding around the side of the house. "I've already got everything packed and ready to go, we just need to load it onto the wagon."

She opened the door, and Quibble saw about nine or ten boxes stacked in a neat little pile. He wondered how heavy all of it was going to be.

At least it will be downhill on the way back...

"So...what is all this stuff exactly?" he asked.

Clear Sky smiled, a little sadly.

"Oh, just some of Thundercloud's things," she said. "I haven't really gone through it, it's just... it's been over a year now. I need to start getting rid of some of this stuff, especially if you're going to move in."

Quibble laughed, a sharp, awkward chuckle that was not even remotely appropriate for the situation. He couldn't control it; it was just something he did when he was nervous. If Sky noticed, though, she didn't show it.

Her horn glowed, and with some apparent strain she managed to levitate one of the boxes into the air. Quibble watched her for a moment, and then with a bit of fumbling managed to heft one of the smaller ones onto his back, immediately feeling as though his legs would give out. He followed Sky outside, and heaved it onto the wagon he'd brought.

Thundercloud was Wind Sprint's father. Quibble didn't know all the details, but apparently he'd gone missing the previous year. It sounded like he'd had a pretty dangerous job, and a thorough search for him had turned up nothing, so at this point he was presumed dead. It was kind of a touchy subject, particularly for the kid, so Quibble tried not to pry into it too deeply. Still, though, it was a bit awkward for him, especially as things between he and Clear Sky had gotten serious enough that they were moving in together. "Presumed dead" didn't mean the same thing as dead, after all. If this guy suddenly showed up on their doorstep one day, wanting to get his family back, where exactly did that leave Quibble?

As he meditated on this, the two of them worked on moving the boxes out of the shed and into the wagon. Quibble did his best to act like a macho earth pony and go for at least a couple of the heavier boxes, but it was pretty clear that he was not used to physical labor. Clear Sky got most of them loaded using magic, and politely didn't call attention to Quibble's panting and wheezing.

"So," gasped Quibble. "Where am I taking all of this stuff, anyway?"

"Oh, there's a shop downtown that buys old junk," said Clear Sky. "Turn right at the bottom of the hill and follow the road until it intersects with the main street, the shop is on the corner. You can't miss it."

Clear Sky wiped her brow. Quibble noticed that the pale blue bandana she always wore around her neck was damp with sweat. Levitation was like physical work for unicorns, and Quibble felt a little ashamed that he'd made her do so much of the lifting.

I really need to start exercising, he thought.

If Sky was upset with him about it, though, she didn't show it. She leaned in and gave him a light kiss on the tip of his nose, and smiled sweetly.

"Thanks for doing this, honey," she said. "I doubt any of this stuff will sell for much, but whatever you get for it you can just keep. It's the least I can do for making you come all the way up here to lug it away."

Quibble's nervous tick struck again, and he laughed awkwardly, rubbing the back of his neck with his front hoof.

"Oh, don't even worry about that," he said. "I'm happy to help out, really!"

Clear Sky smiled and kissed him again, a proper kiss this time.

"You're sweet," she said. "Anyway, I appreciate you coming out here to do this. I know it's right in the middle of the day, but I wanted to take care of this while Wind is at school. I thought it might upset her to see her father's things being carted away."

Quibble continued to rub his neck nervously.

"Is she still, uh..."

Clear Sky nodded, her smile fading a little.

"Yes, she's having a pretty rough time with all of this. She and her Dad were close."

Quibble could only nod and continue scratching his neck. Clear Sky smiled and gave him a little hug.

"Anyway, I really do appreciate this. Oh, by the way, you might want to go through some of those boxes before you take them downtown. Thundercloud actually had a pretty impressive book collection."

"Book collection?"

Quibble's ears pricked up. Suddenly he didn't look quite as exhausted as he had a moment before. Clear Sky giggled.

"Guess I know how to motivate you," she said, booping him lightly on the nose. "Feel free to keep anything that strikes your fancy. Anyway, you should probably get going, Wind is going to be home from school any minute."

"All right," said Quibble, strapping himself into the wagon's harness again. "See you later this week?"

"Sure. We're still on for drinks on Friday, right?"

"Absolutely! You know, I was thinking, instead of just drinks, all three of us could go out for dinner. You wouldn't have to call a sitter, and we could go someplace nice, someplace that Wind might like--"

"That's probably not a good idea," she said gently. He hesitated, but then he nodded. She booped him again. "She's still getting used to the idea of you living with us. She'll warm up to you eventually, don't worry. You just have to give her some time."

Quibble nodded again.

"Okay," he said, a little reluctantly.

They said their goodbyes, and Quibble began the slow and laborious process of tugging the loaded wagon back down the hill and into town.

Secret Stash

Quibble, covered in dust and sweat, glared at the piles of junk and overturned boxes now scattered around his living room.

"Impressive book collection" had been a pretty misleading description. Quibble didn't know much about Thundercloud, but if he had to judge the guy based solely on his taste in literature, well... it was no wonder Clear Sky had gotten over him so quickly.

Quibble shook his head. That wasn't a nice thing to think about somepony who had (probably) died tragically in the service of Equestria, and it definitely wasn't a nice thing to think about Clear Sky. Still, though: other than a couple of Equestrian classics that looked like they had been school library books he'd never bothered to return, Thundercloud's entire "book collection" was mostly trashy horror stories and books about weight lifting. He had a few Daring Do novels at least, but they were just common paperback editions you could find in any bookstore. He didn't even have the uncensored edition of Daring Do and the Jungle of Terror, Quibble noted with disdain.

Fuck, why am I so cranky? Quibble wondered. It wasn't like anypony had told him to open every single box and dump the contents all over his house. He was just annoyed that now he was going to have to pack it all up again, in addition to lugging it down to the junk shop, and he didn't even have anything good to show for it.

Then, he noticed that there was one box he hadn't quite finished exploring yet. It was still sitting, open and upright but with most of its contents still inside, off to the side wall. It was mostly full of random junk and there didn't appear to be any books inside, which is why Quibble hadn't bothered with unloading the rest of it. Still, though, he'd already dumped the rest of them out, and it wasn't like this would add to his workload all that much.

"Might as well see what's inside," muttered, flipping the box over.

The contents were as disappointing as the rest of this haul had been, and he was about to give up and start boxing it all up again, when something caught his eye. It was an old Skymail delivery bag. Quibble held the bag up to the light, turning it over and examining it. It was definitely the older style of bag, probably fifty years old at least.

Clear Sky had told him a little bit about Thundercloud's job. He was, or had been, a Skymail delivery pegasus. Not just any delivery pony, though: he was a White Star, one of the few and the proud. They made deliveries to far-flung corners of the world, well beyond the borders of Equestria. Travel to those wild places was dangerous enough on its own, but politics made it doubly so. Since very few ordinary ponies had anything to send to Black Skull Island or the Scorpion Kingdom, the job usually involved carrying sensitive political correspondence between governments. This meant that oftentimes the messengers were treated as military targets, and it wasn't uncommon for White Star pegasi to be killed or go missing in the line of duty. For this reason, they were highly paid and highly respected. Ponies who applied for the job had to go through a rigorous selection process, and only the most elite flyers were accepted. Their training regimen made Wonderbolts Camp look like a Filly Scouts outing.

Quibble examined the Skymail crest that was stitched on the flap of the bag, and sure enough there was a White Star marking. This bag was far too old to have been used by Thundercloud himself, but he remembered Sky saying that his father and grandfather had also been White Star pegasi. This bag had probably belonged to one of them. Quibble wasn't sure how much it was worth, but old Skymail bags were trendy collector's items, and a White Star bag that was this old... he was sure he could get something for it.

"If nothing else, I can trade it in for some more Daring Do collectibles," he muttered to himself.

He flipped open the flap and took a look inside. It wasn't much, but there was always a chance there might be an old undelivered war treaty or something in there, which would definitely increase the value. However, to his surprise, Quibble found that the bag was full of gems.

They were just common gems of little value, only noteworthy in that they were all exactly the same size and had the same peculiar cut. However, Quibble immediately knew what they were. Magic tech was a pretty recent development, but it was one of the subjects he kept up on.

There were magic-powered devices, sort of like cameras, that could record moving images and sound and store them on these gems. A second device, a magic mirror that doubled as an image viewer, could read whatever was stored on the gem. What's more, like all magic tech, the spells were woven into the device and operated by a mechanical interface, so anypony, not just unicorns, were able to use them.

The movie-mirrors were an incredible invention, and Quibble had been one of the first ponies in Appleoosa to buy one. He'd had to special-order it from Canterlot; the stores in town barely carried any magic tech at all. He had showed it to Clear Sky, and tried to explain how awesome it was, but she hadn't really understood. Wind Sprint, as usual, just scoffed at him.

He emptied the bag onto the floor, and stared at the pile of gems like a hungry dragon. There had to be at least a hundred of them, all labeled with dates. He wondered what they could possibly have on them that had necessitated hiding them in such an out of the way place. The Equestrian film industry was quite new, and "official" gem releases of films were expensive. He had paid far out the ass for the complete set of the latest Daring Do serial, and it hadn't even been that good. The mare they found to play her could hardly act, and they got the details of Caballeron's costume all wrong, and then there was that terrible scene with the rape snakes...

He shook his head rapidly. If this really was a collection of bootleg films, it would more than make up for the time and effort he'd spent hauling this junk up here and sifting through it. If there was anything rare in here, he could make serious bits selling it on the black market.

Before he even knew what he was doing, he had bagged all of the gems back up and was racing upstairs, the saddlebag slung across his shoulders. He couldn't wait to see what was on these things...

Inside his bedroom, Quibble closed the drapes and dimmed the lights, and then fired up the magic mirror on the wall. The device hummed and crackled, and while he waited for it to power on he once again opened the bag and sifted through the gems. Each gem had a date on it, with no other markings to indicate what it contained. He grabbed one at random and inserted it into the slot at the bottom of the mirror.

The glass flickered with magical energy, and slowly an image took the place of his reflection. He sat down on the bed to watch, and was immediately disappointed.

The scene was a familiar one: Clear Sky's bedroom. The sheets on the bed were different, but he recognized the room. Wind Sprint, looking maybe a year younger and lacking a cutie mark, sat on the bed.

Quibble's heart sank.

So that's all it is, he thought. Just an old home movie.

It made sense. The gems all had dates instead of titles, and if the books he owned were any indicator, expecting Thundercloud's taste in movies to be anywhere near kino had been a long shot to begin with.

Looks like my afternoon was wasted after all...

He wanted to get up and shut it off, but between carting all that junk around and sorting through it, he was completely exhausted. So he just lay there on his back, staring lazily at the screen.

Wind Sprint was twitching her tail back and forth, looking at something off camera. There was a muffled voice speaking, but he couldn't tell what it was saying. Wind Sprint nodded, and a second later a big pegasus stepped into the frame.

Shit. That must be Wind Sprint's dad.

It was a little weird watching Thundercloud on screen. Quibble had heard plenty of stories, but seeing him in the flesh was a whole other thing. The guy was huge, he looked more like a statue of an old Ponish god than a real pegasus. His body was pure muscle, not an ounce of fat on him, and his chin looked like it could break a tidal wave. His coat was sort of a grey lavendar, with a pink and purple mane that was close to Wind's in coloring. His cutie mark, unsurprisingly, was a thundercloud.

Quibble looked down at his own pudgy body, and then back at the Adonis on the screen. Thundercloud looked like an amalgamation of every macho colt that had ever picked on him in school. It was a bit satisfying to think that this godlike specimen of stallionhood was probably decomposing on some forgotten mountaintop, and meanwhile Quibble was in the guy's house plowing his wife every night. Still, though, if this was the image of masculinity he had to live up to, it was pretty damned intimidating.

He looked back down at his flabby barrel, watching it jiggle as he tapped it with a hoof.

I really need to start hitting the gym.

Meanwhile, something odd was happening on the screen. Wind Sprint was now lying on her back, with her legs spread wide open so that Quibble could see everything. Granted there wasn't that much to see, she was just a little filly after all, but there was still something rather dirty about it.

Quibble frowned.

What sort of home movie is this, anyway?

He thought back to where he'd found the gems. All of the junk he'd carted off had apparently been stored in their garage, and the gems had been stuffed inside an old mailbag and buried underneath a mountain of even less remarkable stuff. Kind of a weird place to keep precious family memories.

Unless you wanted to hide them for some reason.

Quibble's frown deepened. Thundercloud now had his head between his daughter's legs.

What is he doing now? Is he... giving her a pelvic exam, or something?

If so, he was being awfully thorough about it. He pressed his snout up against her fillyhood and inhaled deeply.

"You take a shower today, sweetie?" he asked.

Wind Sprint reddened and looked away.

"I didn't have time after practice," she muttered.

Thundercloud's voice dropped about an octave.

"Hm, that's no good..."

He took another deep whiff.

"Yeah, smells like a dirty, sweaty little filly to me..."

He nuzzled his nose into her crotch and she groaned softly. He moved upward, planting small kisses on the outside of her labia, slowly working his way up to her little flat teats. He took one of her nipples in his mouth and sucked on it while she continued to moan, finally letting it go with a soft pop.

"You want Dad to clean you up?"

Wind Sprint nodded rapidly.

He thrust his muzzle deep between her legs and aggressively devoured her fillyhood. Wind's back arched and she gasped. At first Quibble thought he might be hurting her, but... no, that wasn't it.

After only a few seconds, her entire body began to quiver, then shake, then convulse. One of her legs was kicking at the air in short, rapid spasms. She thrashed around on the bed, moaning loudly, while her father held her hips in place and continued to attack her pussy with his lips and tongue.

Of course, by now Quibble was pretty certain that this wasn't a pelvic exam.

In the back of his mind, there was a little voice screaming that he shouldn't be watching this. The thing to do, the voice advised, would be to immediately shut the mirror the fuck off, and then gallop straight for the nearest Royal Guard station. Unfortunately, though, Quibble couldn't really hear that voice over the sound of his soon-to-be-stepdaughter's obscene moans, so he continued to watch.

Meanwhile, Wind Sprint was nearing the end of her orgasm. She lay on her back with her legs spread apart, breathing heavily. Her father pulled back, the hair on his muzzle wet with filly cum. Without saying a word, he seized Wind between his front legs and roughly flipped her over onto her belly.

"Oof," she grunted softly as she plopped back down onto the mattress.

"What do you say?" he asked.

She glanced nervously over her shoulder and lifted her hips, flicking her tail to the side. She looked a bit weak in the knees.

"F-fuck me, Daddy..."

"Good filly."

Thundercloud climbed up on the bed and positioned himself. Even scaled to the rest of his body his cock was enormous.

There's no way that thing will fit...

Quibble glanced down at his own stallionhood. Even at full mast, he was no match for this guy. Just one more thing to be insecure about.

Wait, why am I at full mast? I shouldn't even be watching this...

He didn't have much time to think about it. Thundercloud had stuffed his gigantic cock about halfway into his daughter, and was now slowly bucking his hips up and down. The bed creaked under his weight.

Wind gasped as he pushed himself into her even further. He seemed to have reached the physical limit of how deep he could get, but he still had an admirable amount of his length inside.

"Good filly," he whispered to her.

He began to pick up speed. Wind was grunting and squirming underneath him, but she didn't try to fight him or escape. She couldn't have escaped even if she'd been trying to; the enormous stallion had his full weight on her and was practically nailing her to the bed with every thrust.

Thundercloud was breathing more rapidly, and it was obvious he was having difficulty controlling himself. The bed creaked noisily as he fucked the helpless filly harder and harder.

"AHH!! Dad, not so hard--" Wind protested, but her father pressed a hoof against the back of her head and shoved her face into the mattress before she could finish her sentence.

"Quiet," he ordered. "Oh, fuck..."

Clearly nearing his limit, Thundercloud was now drilling into his daughter with the merciless force and precision of a machine. Quibble's jaw hung open as he watched. He wasn't just fucking Wind, he was practically impaling her. What was even more shocking was that the little filly was taking it like a champ.

With her face pressed into the mattress Quibble couldn't hear much more than a few muffled grunts and groans, but it was hard to miss the obscene squishing sounds coming from her pussy. Or the puddle of filly juice that was growing on the bedspread underneath them.

Quibble realized he had his cock between his hooves, and was frantically jerking it up and down. He had no idea when he had started doing this, but he couldn't compel himself to stop. Meanwhile, in the mirror image, Wind Sprint's small body was convulsing. One of her hind legs began to kick at the air as it had before, and the muffled groans coming through the mattress were getting louder.

"You cumming again already, sweetie?" grunted Thundercloud. "Damn, you are a slutty little filly, aren't you?"

"M--mm...h--hmmm..." came her muffled response.

"Alright sweetie," he panted. "Dad's gonna cum too...you ready...?"

Wind Sprint made no reply, but there was a low, muffled continuous groan coming from the mattress.

Thundercloud gave one last powerful thrust. He threw back his head and bellowed, and a moment later a thick white substance began to ooze out from where they were joined, pooling into the damp spot that had already formed on the bedspread.

He held the little filly firmly in place until he had completely expended himself. Finally, he removed his hoof from the back of her head and rolled off of her. His member slid out of her with an obscene pop, spraying little clear droplets of filly cum into the air. He collapsed on the bed next to her, the springs creaking audibly under his weight.

Wind clambered to her hooves, her legs still shaking. She crawled over to where her father lay, climbed on top of his barrel, put her mouth to his, and kissed him. Thundercloud wrapped an enormous foreleg around her neck and drew her in closer. Quibble could hear the sounds of their lips smacking together. Wind's little hindquarters were facing the camera, and her pussy was gaping lewdly open. A huge glob of white cum suddenly oozed out of it and dribbled down the back of her hind leg.

This was what finally sent Quibble over the edge. The sound that emerged from his throat was nothing like Thundercloud's deep, masculine roar; it was somewhere between a groan and a croak, the kind of sound he imagined a strangled goose would make. It turned into a yelp of surprise as a glob of his own semen landed just above his eye. He wiped it off with the back of his foreleg.

The image in the mirror crackled into static. Quibble lay on his back, panting, his cock still spasming weakly. His chest heaved and his heart pounded. He lay there, panting and holding his dick between his hooves, while the image faded away, until he was left staring at his own reflection.

Camping

"...and it's just so much better than the previous series! The production values, the casting, the sets... there's just no comparison! First of all, you can tell that they actually went with a director who cares about the Daring Do novels this time. The Temple set actually had all of the details right, you could tell they actually did some research on the Jungle of Terror prior to filming. And the actor that played Ssslonic actually had a convincing Serpentine accent, and don't even get me started about how much more convincing the rape snakes were this time around..."

Quibble continued to gush about the new Daring Do serial, completely lost in his own autism and oblivious to the fact that nopony understood or cared what he was talking about. Clear Sky was watching him with an amused expression. Wind Sprint, meanwhile, just glared at her dinner plate, and didn't say a word.

He felt a hoof nudging him gently in the ribs.

"Alright," said Clear Sky. "It sounds... really interesting... but I don't think this is appropriate dinner conversation."

Quibble cut himself off with a nervous laugh. He felt his cheeks burn slightly.

"Oh, uh, sorry." he glanced at Wind. "I know it sounds kind of gratuitous, but there really is a species of snake in the Forbidden Jungle that—"

"Hush, dear."

Clear Sky gently pressed a hoof to his lips. Wind Sprint rolled her eyes.

"May I be excused please?" she asked.

"You've hardly even touched your food," her mother admonished.

"I'm not hungry."

"You should at least eat your oats. Don't you have a game tomorrow?"

"Yeah..."

She trailed off, staring sullenly at her plate and nudging at its contents with a hoof.

"Um, you know Wind," began Quibble. "Oats are high in carbohydrates, which you need plenty of if you're going to have a competitive edge—"

The filly gave him a withering glare that froze the rest of his words in his throat. She glanced at her mother, who was watching her impatiently. Then, she gave an exaggerated sigh, gobbled down half of her oats in three huge bites, and then flew away upstairs without saying another word. Clear Sky and Quibble heard a door slam.

Clear Sky sighed heavily and shook her head, and went back to eating her own meal. Quibble watched her for a moment, then looked over at Wind's plate, which was mostly untouched. He laughed nervously.

"Uh, I'm sorry," he said. "I guess I got a little carried away. It's just that, A.K. Yearling really does go to a lot of trouble researching locations and their local fauna to make sure her novels are accurate, and it's nice to finally see a director who appreciates—"

Clear Sky gently pressed her hoof to his lips again, an amused smile on her face.

"Shh, I know," she said. "But let's just make it a rule that we don't talk about rape snakes at the dinner table, okay?"

Quibble felt his cheeks burning again. He nodded with a quick, nervous laugh. Clear Sky smiled and gave him a light kiss on the nose.

"Thanks," she said.

Quibble glanced at Wind's plate again, then at the staircase. He cleared his throat.

"Anyway," he began. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset her, I just get a little carried away sometimes."

Sky smiled sadly and shook her head.

"Don't worry," she assured him. "It doesn't have anything to do with you."

She levitated her empty plate and carried it into the kitchen. When she returned, she lifted her daughter's half-eaten meal, and then hesitated.

"I don't suppose you want any of this?" she asked Quibble. "It's such a shame to waste food."

Quibble felt his stomach growl.

"Uh, sure, I could probably eat a little more."

Sky smiled and set Wind's plate down in front of him, then levitated away his empty one.

"Anyway, it's like I said, she's not angry about anything you did. So you don't have to worry," she called out on her way to the kitchen.

Quibble heard the sound of running water and dishes clanking in the sink. He looked down at the food in front of him. The apple slices hadn't been touched, and neither had the asparagus. There was still a decent portion of oats left as well.

Clear Sky had returned, levitating two mugs of cider. She set one down in front of him.

"Wind Sprint and her father used to go camping every year at around this time," she explained, sitting down at the table and taking a sip from her mug. "This will be the first year she hasn't gone."

Quibble took a huge gulp of cider and said nothing. It had been almost two weeks since he'd found Thundercloud's gem collection, and he'd watched everything in it, over and over in some cases. He knew plenty about Wind and Thunder's little daddy-daughter "camping trips," but somehow it didn't seem like a good idea to mention that to Clear Sky.

"Thirsty?"

Sky was watching him with a wry smile. He looked at the mug, and saw that he'd downed nearly half of it in one go. He gave a nervous laugh and set it down.

Sky leaned in and kissed him on the cheek.

"I know this is hard for you," she said. "Wind really is a sweet filly, she just misses her father. She'll warm up to you eventually, I promise."

Quibble's head was buzzing a little from the cider. He bit into one of the apple slices on Wind's plate. He looked again at the half-eaten pile of oats.

Wind was eating those. They probably have her saliva on them.

His member was beginning to poke out of its sheath. He quickly tried to push his thoughts in another direction.

"Say, what if I took her camping?" he suddenly blurted.

Clear Sky burst out laughing. She composed herself quickly and took an embarrassed gulp from her mug.

"I'm sorry," she said. "That was mean. But seriously, you? Camping?"

She shook her head, still chuckling a little.

"No offense, but that's just a disaster waiting to happen. Anyway, I don't think it's such a good idea."

Quibble stuffed another apple slice into his mouth and took a gulp of cider. His cheeks were burning.

"I meant, like, maybe we could all go camping together," he muttered, feeling even lamer than he probably sounded.

Clear Sky was smiling.

"I don't think it's such a good idea," she repeated gently. "Maybe someday."

She leaned in and kissed him again, a proper one this time. Their mouths opened, and their tongues intertwined. Sky moaned softly. Quibble could feel himself starting to get hard. He wrapped his foreleg around her neck and pulled her closer.

Suddenly, Sky broke away and cleared her throat.

"That's probably not a good idea either," she said. Noticing his rather hurt expression, she added quickly: "I mean, it's just... it's probably not a good idea for you to stay over tonight, that's all."

She angled her head towards the stairs. Quibble gave a reluctant nod. He wasn't thrilled about it, but he understood.

Clear Sky took another sip from her mug. Quibble did the same. He chewed up the last of the apple slices, and then started on the asparagus. Neither of them said anything for some time.

"Well, it's getting dark," said Sky finally. "I should probably put Wind to bed."

She stood up, levitating the two empty mugs.

"Are you finished?" she asked, indicating his plate.

Quibble glanced again at the half-eaten oats, and his cock twitched. He hesitated, and then nodded.

"Yeah," he said. "I should get going, too."

Clear Sky took his plate and the mugs and went to the kitchen. She dumped the last scraps of food into the trash and then set everything down in the sink.

She walked him to the front door, and they went out onto the porch together. It was a cool, clear desert evening, and the night's first stars were beginning to appear.

"Are you coming to Wind's game tomorrow?" Sky asked.

"Sure!" said Quibble, maybe a little too eagerly. "I wouldn't miss it!"

Clear Sky smiled and gave him a kiss.

"Glad to hear it," she said. "Goodnight."

"Goodnight."

The front door closed. Quibble stood looking at it for a moment, and then turned and headed home.

He thought about Clear Sky's warm tongue, and the smell of her perfume. He thought about Wind Sprint, sullenly stuffing her mouth full of oats. He thought about her sucking hungrily on her father's lips, or gagging and drooling as she deep-throated his cock. He thought about what it might feel like if she were to do the same thing to him.

By the time he made it home, it was all Quibble could do to keep his dick from unsheathing itself. By then it was almost completely dark, but there were still a few ponies out and about, and most of the windows still had lights in them. Propriety had never been Quibble's strong suit, but he had at least enough social awareness to know that it wouldn't do to be seen walking down a public street sporting a full-blown erection. The ponies in this town found him weird enough as it was; he didn't need that kind of reputation.

Through sheer force of will, he managed to keep himself contained until he reached his house. However, no sooner had the door closed behind him than he was already galloping up the stairs. He dug frantically under his bed until he found the mailbag full of gems, and then sifted through them until he found the one that he wanted.

His jaw was trembling so bad that he almost dropped the gem on the floor. Eventually, he managed to get it wedged into the slot at the bottom of his mirror. He scrambled up onto his bed, and waited impatiently for it to power up.

The glass crackled and flickered with magical static, finally settling into a breathtaking view.

The image had been taken at the top of a hill in Whitetail Woods. An endless landscape of aspen and cedar trees stretched out below in every direction, and provided shade on the hilltop. It was late afternoon, and golden shafts of sunlight were poking through the branches.

The shot panned around until it focused on a small lavender pegasus filly, tugging at a piece of rope held in her teeth. She had just finished setting up a tent, and was pulling the final knot tight. The shot zoomed in on her hindquarters, framing a nice round flank with no cutie mark. Her tail swished to one side briefly, and Quibble caught a glimpse of her fat little ponut and labia.

He was already at full mast and throbbing, but he managed to refrain from touching himself. This was one of the best gems in the batch, and he didn't want to blow it before things got interesting.

Wind Sprint noticed the camera, and turned around to glare at it.

"Dad!" she said crossly. "Quit taking pictures and help me!"

"Sorry sweetie," said Thundercloud's voice. He set the camera down on a nearby tree stump and stepped into the frame. "It looks like you've got it mostly set up."

"Yeah, no thanks to you," Wind muttered, giving the knot one last tug and dropping the rope.

Thundercloud moved closer. He lifted his foreleg, and ran a hoof gently up and down the crack between her legs. Wind stiffened and shivered, and then let out a little moan. Thundercloud smiled, in a way that didn't look especially fatherly.

He put down his hoof and walked around the tent in a circle, inspecting the knots.

"You did a good job, sweetie," he said. "I don't even think you needed my help."

"Yeah right, you just didn't want to do any work," Wind muttered. Her voice still sounded cross, but she was clearly beaming from the compliment.

He leaned down and kissed her, and she returned it eagerly. A lewd sucking was clearly audible over the backdrop of nature sounds, and when Thunder broke off the kiss there was a thin ribbon of drool hanging between his daughter's lips and his own.

"So, uh, who's coming tonight?" Wind asked. She sounded a little nervous.

Thundercloud smiled in that not-quite-fatherly way again.

"The usual gang," he said.

Wind swished her tail back and forth.

"Is... is Moon Stomper coming?"

Thunder ruffled her mane reassuringly.

"He is," he told her. "But you don't need to worry, sweetie. I talked to him. He promised not to be so rough with you."

Wind swallowed, but didn't say anything. Thunder smiled and ruffled her mane again.

"He just got a little carried away last time," he assured her. "I'll try not to let him drink so much tonight, okay sweetie?"

Wind Sprint nodded, still looking a bit nervous.

"I'm probably not going to drink so much either," he continued. "It's no fun waking up at sunrise with a headache like I did last year. I'm getting old, need to slow down a little."

He pulled Wind in close for a hug, and she buried her face contentedly in his chest.

"I'll keep an eye on you tonight, don't worry," he said. "Meantime you just be a good little filly for Dad's friends, do whatever they want you to and don't complain. Understand?"

She looked up at him and nodded. He smiled, hugged her again, and planted a little kiss on top of her head.

"Good girl."

There was a commotion coming from somewhere off to the side, and a moment later a couple of pegasi entered the clearing, an adult and a foal. The older one was sky blue with a short-cropped mane and mustache. He was pulling a small wagon with a barrel of cider in it. His daughter, an aquamarine filly with a rather wild-looking mane, was flapping idly behind him.

"Hi, Wind!" the filly called out, as soon as she caught sight of Wind Sprint.

Wind looked up, and her face brightened.

"Ocean Sky!"

The two pegasus fillies flew to greet each other, landing in the center of the clearing. They embraced quickly, and wandered off towards the trees, chattering with each other. Meanwhile, Thundercloud approached the older pegasus.

"Ray," he said, giving him a brief nod and a smile. The two of them bumped hooves.

Behind Ray, another pegasus was now coming up the path, also with a filly in tow. This guy was even larger and more intimidating than Thundercloud, if such a thing were possible. His coat was a silvery white, with a gray and black striped mane, cut short like Ray's. His cutie mark was a hoof stomping a rock.

"Hey Moon Stomper," Thundercloud called out. "We're up here!"

With a couple of quick flaps, the enormous pegasus cleared the remaining distance and alighted on the hilltop.

"Hurry up!" he yelled back down the path.

The little unicorn filly that had been lagging behind him immediately broke into a frantic gallop. The three adults watched with mild amusement as she scrambled her way up the steep path.

The filly was lavender-colored with an unkempt yellow mane. She ran into the clearing, panting a little, and came to a halt next to Moon Stomper. Quibble hadn't noticed it the last time he'd watched this, but she had a magic-sealing ring around her horn. Her eyes kept darting back and forth between the three stallions surrounding her. She did not look happy to be there.

"So who's your new toy?" asked Thundercloud.

Moon Stomper grinned.

"Her name's Dinky," he said. "She's my marefriend's kid."

"Got a new one I take it?"

"Yeah. You know that little blond mare that works in the mailroom? Grey coat, kind of derpy-looking?"

"I think I might have seen her," said Ray.

Thundercloud, however, just burst out laughing.

"That's who you're banging these days? That little cross-eyed dimwit?"

Moon Stomper shrugged, looking a little embarrassed.

"Hey, laugh if you want, but she's crazy in the sack."

"Or just crazy. She even know which end it goes in?"

"It goes in whichever end I want it to." He put a hoof around Dinky and pulled her close. "Just like with this one. Ain't that right, slut?"

The filly looked up at him and nodded quickly.

"Don't be rude. Say hi to Daddy's friends."

"H-hi," said Dinky, in a small voice.

"Now show 'em what you got."

Reluctantly, the little filly turned around and knelt down with her rump in the air. She flicked her tail to the side, exposing her genitals.

Moon Stomper looked back at his friends, grinning.

"See? Her mother might be dumber than a pile of rocks, but this one learns quick. I'm gettin' her trained up real good."

He put a hoof on her exposed rump and shoved her towards Thundercloud. The position she was in put her off balance, and she stumbled and fell with a soft grunt.

"You can try her out right now if you want," Moon Stomper offered.

The filly looked up at Thundercloud with a fearful expression, but she obediently rolled onto her back and spread her legs as wide as she was able. Thundercloud watched her with cold amusement, but then shook his head.

"Nah, we should finish getting the camp set up," he said. "There'll be plenty of time for that later."

The mirror crackled with static, and the scene changed abruptly.

It was now nighttime. The small clearing was lit by the orange glow of a campfire in the center. Three tents stood in a semicircle around the fire.

In front of the leftmost tent, Thundercloud lay on his back with his legs splayed apart. Ocean Sky stood on his barrel, slowly fellating his cock while he licked her from behind. Dinky crouched in front of him, lapping at his balls with her tongue.

"All the way down," Thunder growled. He put his front hoof against the back of Ocean Sky's head and pushed until she started to gag. "Fuck yeah, that's a good little filly."

Moon Stomper was sitting a short distance away, watching them, his forehoof wrapped around a huge mug of cider. He took a long swig and belched.

"Dinky!" he called out sharply. "Lick his asshole, too."

Dinky made a face, but she did as she was told. She had to crouch down even further and squirm forward awkwardly in order to reach, but she got herself into position and began rolling her tongue around Thundercloud's ponut. He groaned softly, his own tongue buried deep inside Ocean Sky's asshole. Her head was bobbing up and down faster and faster, his cock making obscene squelching noises in her throat.

Moon Stomper took another swig of cider.

"And as soon as he cums you get your ass over here," he ordered. "I think I'm just about rested."

Dinky gave an affirmative grunt and continued to slobber on Thundercloud's asshole.

There was a rustle in the center tent, and the flap moved to one side. Wind Sprint stumbled out into the clearing, walking a little unsteadily. Her mane was in disarray, and there was a thin ribbon of cum dripping from her muzzle.

Suddenly, the tent flaps burst open, and Ray came barreling out. He swayed drunkenly from one side to the other, then righted himself.

"Ged backhere you," he slurred angrily at Wind. "Yer nod dunyet..."

Wind looked over her shoulder with a disgusted expression, and sullenly wiped her chin with a foreleg.

"Dad..." she turned to her father with a pleading look.

Thundercloud, however, was just watching the scene with amusement.

"I zed cummeer," mumbled Ray.

Wind yelped as he stomped a forehoof down on her tail, preventing her from running away. Her wings flapped helplessly as she tried to lift off. He then shoved her face roughly into the ground, positioning himself above her exposed hindquarters. His cock was unsheathed but was wobbling like it was made of rubber. It looked like he was having difficulty getting hard.

"I'm gunna rib you abart..." he muttered. He listed dangerously to one side, then righted himself.

Suddenly, the light went out in his eyes, and he collapsed on top of Wind with a graceless plop. Immediately he began to snore.

There was a scuffling underneath him, and a moment later Wind Sprint's head poked out from under his enormous belly, angrily spitting out dirt. Her front hooves scraped at the ground, but she couldn't pull herself out from under him.

"Dad! Help!" she grunted. "I can't move..."

Thundercloud, however, was howling with laughter and clapping his hooves.

"Ray Stinger," he hooted, "King of the lightweights!"

Moon Stomper just laughed and shook his head.

"I don't know why he even comes on these trips," he said. "He just nuts once and then passes out. He oughta just not even drink, he might at least have some fun that way."

Thunder's cock popped out of Ocean Sky's mouth with a wet smack, as the filly began to giggle. Even Dinky had turned around to see what had happened, and was laughing a little.

"Is Daddy passed out again?" asked Ocean Sky. "Can we draw on him like last time?"

Thundercloud, still chuckling a little, put his hoof back on Ocean's head and roughly shoved her face against his cock.

"You just get back to what you were doing," he ordered. "Nopony told you to stop sucking that dick."

Ocean immediately opened her mouth and went back to noisily sucking him.

"You too, bitch," he ordered Dinky, who scrambled to obey, kissing and slobbering his taint and balls.

Meanwhile, Wind Sprint was still trying unsuccessfully to pull herself out from underneath Ray's ponderous bulk. Moon Stomper watched her struggle with a lewd smile. Then, he took a long swig of cider, set down his mug, and rose to his hooves.

"Don't worry, little lady, I've got you," he intoned, his voice a low, oily rumble.

Wind Sprint stopped struggling, looking up fearfully as the giant pegasus leered over her. With a smooth, easy gesture, he turned and placed one of his back hooves against Ray's sleeping form, then gave him a quick shove. Ray rolled over onto his back, blinking and grumbling in confusion. Then, he snorted once and slid back into unconsciousness, his unsheathed limp dick lying across his barrel like a sleeping python.

Wind Sprint sat up on her haunches, watching nervously as Stomper approached her. His enormous cock was slowly expanding and pushing out of its sheath. The precum dribbling out of the tip glistened in the firelight.

"You gonna stare at it or suck it?" the stallion growled.

Wind obediently opened her mouth, and Moon Stomper shoved his dick roughly down her throat. She began to choke almost immediately, but sat perfectly still on her haunches as he pushed himself in, until she could feel his giant balls bumping against the underside of her neck.

Stomper groaned with pleasure.

"Oh, fuck, I've missed your little throat, Wind," he said. "That little slut Dinky can't even swallow half of it without puking, but you always gobble this dick like a fuckin' champ."

Wind could only gurgle in response. Her eyes were tearing up, and she could barely breathe through her nose. Some spittle went down her windpipe, and she coughed, only it had nowhere to go. A glob of snot burst out of her nostril, and she could feel a long trail of drool bubbling around her jaw and dribbling down the side of her neck.

"Yeah, that's it," Stomper moaned. "You choke on that dick, you little filly whore..."

He began to buck his hips slowly back and forth. Wind Sprint did her best to hold still, choking and gagging as the stallion's enormous girth continued to violate her throat.

Meanwhile, Thundercloud was nearing his orgasm. He had Ocean Sky's head between his front hooves, and was violently yanking her down on him as he bucked his hips. He had his snout buried in her cunt, and Ocean was emitting little groans of ecstasy as she gagged on his cock. Little Dinky was trying her best to keep sucking his balls, but his thrusts were now too fast and powerful for her to keep up. The best she could do was to flick her tongue back and forth and try to tickle him as he fucked Ocean's face.

Quibble had his cock between his hooves and was beating off frantically. He could feel himself nearing the edge, and with a massive effort willed himself to stop. He wanted to save it for the best part.

In the clearing, Moon Stomper was now drilling Wind Sprint's throat like an oil well. She could no longer hold herself upright against the force of his thrusts, so he had repositioned them, using Ray's unconscious body like an impromptu mattress. She was now pinned helplessly between the flabby barrel of one pegasus and the powerful hips of the other. Her throat was stuffed to capacity and she was clearly struggling to breathe, but she had little choice but to go limp as a rag doll and wait until Stomper had finished with her.

Next to them, Ocean Sky was in a similar position, her mouth stuffed with cock and her head held in place by Thundercloud's powerful front hooves. He kept bucking his hips faster and faster, his testicles now slapping the filly on the nose with each upward stroke.

Ocean herself was mewling like a kitten as she choked and gurgled, Thunder's tongue working the inside of her pussy into a frenzy. Filly cum was gushing out of her in torrents and running down Thunder's jaw and neck.

Dinky had realized that, for the moment at least, nopony was paying her any attention. She was now simply squatting on her haunches, watching the vulgar scene with wide-eyed amazement. Quibble observed that her front hoof had moved between her legs, and she was absent-mindedly stroking herself as she watched. He hadn't noticed that before either.

Moon Stomper threw back his head and roared, giving Wind's mouth one final, powerful plunge. The pegasus filly's eyes went wide as his flare expanded somewhere deep inside her throat. Her gagging was horrendous now, and her limbs began to flail around helplessly as the stallion's dick pinned her in place like a struggling insect.

Her little belly expanded slightly, and then she made a strange burbling sound as thick white cum began to ooze out through the sides of her mouth. A second later, it began to ooze from her nose as well.

Stomper's roar had faded into a low groan of contentment. Just as it looked like Wind was about to pass out, he suddenly stepped back, his giant member sliding out of her with a long, low slurp. The filly immediately began to hack and cough, a torrent of semen dripping down her face and chest.

A second or two later, it was Thundercloud's turn to cum. He yanked Ocean Sky's head down as he bucked upward with one last hard thrust, eliciting a surprised squeal from the filly. He held her head down in a vice grip as he ejaculated into her mouth, but Ocean clearly had some experience here. Little ripples ran down the filly's throat as she swallowed, breathing evenly through her nose until Thundercloud's balls had finished emptying. He was still lapping at her clit with his tongue, and a shiver ran through the filly's tiny body as she came again.

Finally, he released his grip on her, and she sat up. His deflating cock slid out of her throat, glistening with cum and saliva. The filly giggled, gave it an affectionate kiss, and hopped off his barrel onto the ground.

"I'm gonna go draw on Daddy now," she announced, trotting gleefully into her tent, presumably to look for a marker.

Wind Sprint, still coughing and spitting up bits of drool and cum, walked unsteadily towards her father. Thundercloud sat up and pulled her into an embrace as she collapsed against him, exhausted.

"Here, sweetie, let's get you cleaned up," he said.

He grabbed a nearby towel and began dabbing at the filly's face and mane, as she gazed up at him sleepily.

"I think somepony's ready for bed," he murmured.

Wind just nodded, snuggling into his chest and yawning.

"We're gonna turn in," Thundercloud announced.

Moon Stomper nodded and yawned. He grabbed his cider mug and downed the remainder in one gulp.

"Yeah, me too," he said. "Dinky!"

The unicorn filly had retreated off to the side of the clearing. She was sitting in the half-dark space at the edge of the firelight, nudging a pine cone with a hoof, looking like she was trying hard to avoid being noticed. However, at the sound of her name being called, her head jerked up sharply.

"Get over here. It's bedtime."

Dinky swallowed, looking nervous, but she trotted obediently into Moon Stomper's tent.

Quibble was lying on his mattress, staring intently at the mirror, his hooves spread wide apart. He was hovering on the edge, his dick throbbing. Every fiber of his being longed for release, but he held fast and restrained himself.

The mirror crackled into magical static again, and the scene changed. It was now much later in the night. The inside of the tent was almost completely dark, and he could just barely make out the forms of Wind and Thundercloud, snuggling together on their bedding.

Wind was lying on top of him, her front legs wrapped around his neck. She was kissing him hungrily, her tongue exploring the inside of his mouth. The lewd sounds of their lips smacking together filled the tent, the only other sound was the crickets outside.

Wind Sprint pulled back, breathing rapidly.

"Did I do good tonight, Dad?" she whispered.

Thundercloud gave her a kiss on the nose.

"You did great, sweetie," he whispered back. "Stomper didn't treat you too rough, did he? You want me to talk to him again?"

Wind hesitated, then shook her head.

"No, it's okay," she whispered. "I think I'm getting better at deep-throat, just like you said."

Thunder grinned, then pulled her head down and kissed her deeply again. Wind's wings flapped involuntarily, rustling the still air in the tent.

"Mmm, my slutty little filly," said Thunder in a low growl, and Wind Sprint giggled.

"Dad, will you lick my pussy before I go to sleep?" she whispered.

"Sure, sweetie. Turn around."

The bedclothes rustled as Wind repositioned herself, turning around and sitting on Thunder's face. Her neck arched and she sucked in her breath sharply as Thunder pushed his muzzle into the space between her hind legs.

Because of the angle and the poor light, Quibble couldn't see exactly what was happening, but the sound made it clear enough. Thunder's lips slurped and smacked. Wind threw her head back and moaned softly, rocking her hips back and forth on her father's face. Her legs began to quiver, and soon her entire body was shaking.

"U-uuuh..." she groaned. "D-dad......fuck......"

Suddenly, she arched her back and made a sharp cry. Her leg was kicking in little spasms, and her wings flapped so hard that she began to lift herself up in the air. Before she could get far, Thunder grabbed her hips and yanked her down onto his mouth.

"AAAAH!!"

In the faint glow of moonlight coming through the tent flap, Quibble could see a trickle of fluid running down Thunder's neck, making a damp spot on the pillow underneath. Wind's spasms subsided, and she suddenly went limp and collapsed forward onto her father's barrel, panting.

Thunder leaned forward and put his lips around her ponut. Wind shivered and gasped as his tongue pushed its way into her hole. He held her in place like that, pushing in deeper and deeper, and then suddenly he let go. His head fell back onto the pillow, and his lips smacked as he released the seal on her asshole. Wind gasped, and a last little spurt of fluid shot from her pussy onto Thunder's chin.

Her legs still quivering, Wind turned around again, snuggling up against her father with her head under his chin. He wrapped his front legs around her and pulled her close.

"That was quick," he snickered.

Wind giggled faintly but didn't answer. Her tail flicked.

Thunder kissed the top of her head and stroked her back gently with his hoof.

"What are you?" he asked.

"I'm a little filly slut," murmured Wind sleepily.

"And whose little filly slut are you?"

"......mmmmmm......Dad's......"

A second later she was breathing rhythmically, sound asleep.

When Quibble was a young colt, he had once turned a garden hose on full-blast, and then stood on the front end of it with his full weight, just to see what would happen. The hose had swollen until the giant ball of water was almost as large as Quibble himself, and then, without warning, it had burst. The built-up pressure had been so intense that it had blown him halfway across the yard, soaking him through to the skin.

The very second he lightly grazed his cock with his hoof, the resulting explosion was something like that. It went pretty much everywhere.

When it was over, Quibble lay on his back, panting heavily, unable to move. The image in the mirror crackled into static and faded out, until there was nothing left but his own reflection. He craned his neck, trying to force the rest of his body to get up, but his limbs wouldn't obey. Finally he gave up, and collapsed onto his pillow.

He was asleep in seconds, and would not regain consciousness until well into the following afternoon, leaving him barely enough time to make it to Wind's game. In the meantime, he drifted off into a pleasant, rejuvenating abyss, dreaming of tongues and oats and filly butts.

Author's Note

In case anyone was wondering:

Ocean Sky (apparently also called Gusty Sprite) - https://derpibooru.org/images/2024697
Ray Stinger - https://derpibooru.org/images/1637320
And here's the whole family - https://derpibooru.org/images/1725244
This is why Sky Stinger could never get any attention growing up: clearly his sisters were getting it all.
If you want to get super technical about it, this image is actually from a flashback, so the characters' relative ages are probably way off for this story. But honestly, I don't care. Ocean is an underappreciated filly and I wanted to use her.

Dinky I'm sure everyone already knows, but she's cute, so here's a picture of her - https://derpibooru.org/images/1298848

Moon Stomper is an OC who takes his name from a Rancid lyric.

Also, fun bit of trivia: Thundercloud is a real G1 male pony.

The Witching Hour

~~~~~~~~~~ One Month Later ~~~~~~~~~~

Quibble stepped off the train, jostling his way through a small crowd of ponies who were trying to board. A rose-colored mare yelped when he accidentally stepped on her hoof. Quibble excused himself and laughed awkwardly. The mare and her friend gave him a dirty look. He backed away, still apologizing, until his hindquarters bumped against the flank of a pegasus stallion, who gave him an irritated shove in the opposite direction.

The train whistle bellowed. A couple of straggling ponies scrambled quickly through the door of the passenger car, and finally Quibble was alone on the platform. As the train chugged away, he squinted through the afternoon sunlight at a wooden sign that was hanging from a post over the track. "Ponyville," it read. Good; at least he'd gotten off at the right stop this time.

He made his way from the small depot to the hayburger stand on Ponyville's main drag. Inside, he scanned the booths until he spotted a light blue pegasus with a rainbow colored mane, sitting alone.

"Hey, Rainbow Dash!" he said, sitting down in the empty seat across from her.

"Oh, uh, hey Quibble," replied Dash, not meeting his gaze. There was a basket of half-eaten apple fries sitting in front of her, and she promptly shoved several of them into her mouth and took a long, noisy sip from her drink.

He had met Rainbow Dash at a convention a few years ago. The two of them met here every so often, usually about once a month, to grab a couple of hayburgers and catch up. Dash was one of the few ponies who could hold her own against him in a discussion about Daring Do, and he enjoyed their conversations enough that he didn't mind the long train ride from Appleoosa to Ponyville.

Today, though, Dash seemed a little distracted. Every time he began to speak she would stuff her face with apple fries, and she was pointedly avoiding eye contact. Quibble sat across from her, tapping a nervous rhythm on the table with his hooves, and glancing around impatiently. She clearly had something on her mind, and it seemed to be something she was reluctant to tell him about. However, he had been waiting almost a month to hear her thoughts on the new serial, and his excitement was getting the best of him.

Finally, he couldn't take it anymore.

"So?" he blurted out finally.

Dash, who had just stuffed the last couple of fries in her mouth and was now busy trying to get the waiter's attention, glanced at him as if noticing him for the first time.

"Sho whuh?" she said, her words muffled by a giant mouthful of fried apple.

"So, what did you think of it?"

Dash's eyes widened, and she nearly choked on her fries. She chewed quickly, swallowed, and dumped the remainder of her soda down her throat to still her coughing.

Quibble grunted.

"Oh, come on!" he said. "I know it has a few flaws here and there, but there's no way you really think it's that bad. And compared to the last one they made? I think it's a damn good adaptation, and I'm not ashamed to say so!"

Dash shifted her weight slightly in her chair. She glanced towards their waiter again. She still didn't speak.

Quibble drummed the table with his hooves, exasperated. How bad did she think it was, that she was unwilling to even rant about it? Usually his friend had no problem expressing her opinions.

"Come on! I really want to hear what you thought of it!"

Realizing that he was not going to let this go, Dash sighed heavily. She dove headfirst into a saddlebag that sat on the bench next to her, proudly emblazoned with the Wonderbolts insignia. She emerged a moment later with a bright blue gem clamped between her teeth.

She dropped the gem, and it clattered to the table.

"Uh, well," she began. "Let's just say... the plot took some interesting twists."

Quibble stared at the gem. It was clearly the gem he'd given her the last time they'd met: blue, cut into an octagonal shape, just like all the other gems in the first volume of the new Daring Do serial. He was positive that this one contained the first three episodes, it was the one he'd been certain would hook Dash and have her begging for the next gem in the series by the time they met up again. However, now that he looked more closely....

He reached out with his foreleg, flipped the gem over and examined the label. Instead of the words "Daring Do and the Jungle Of Terror" printed in neat calligraphy as he'd been expecting, there was simply... a date.

Quibble's stomach dropped out of his body and crashed through the floor beneath them. He opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out. His jaw flapped uselessly on its hinges, until finally, with considerable effort, he managed to pull it closed again.

Which gem is this?!? a panicked voice in his mind cried out.

There weren't that many blue ones in Thundercloud's "collection." How in the world could he have mixed them up like this? Now that he thought about it, though, there were a couple that were of a similar size and cut to the Daring Do ones, and his mirror-room had been kind of a mess lately...

"Hey there guys, sorry about the wait," a chipper voice suddenly intoned. Quibble glanced to his left and noticed that a unicorn waiter was now standing at their table, a notepad floating in a glowing cloud of magic over his head. "I'll go ahead and grab you some more apple fries and a refill. Can I get you anything, sir?"

Quibble's mouth opened and closed itself three more times before he realized that the waiter had asked him a question.

"Oh, uh, yeah, sure," he babbled. He rubbed the back of his neck and laughed nervously. "Uh...regular haybasket please."

"Anything to drink with that, sir?"

Quibble must have mumbled something, and it must have made sense, because the waiter was now jotting something down and thanking him. He then trotted off, still smiling pleasantly. Quibble could hear him beginning the same routine again at a nearby table.

He turned back to Dash, who was once more fidgeting and glancing nervously around the room. She didn't look like she wanted to be there any more than he did.

"H-hey, what is this?" Quibble demanded unconvincingly, fiddling with the gem and reading the label as if it were his first time seeing it. "Because I swear, if that damn Buckbuster Video gave me the wrong gem again, I'm really going to tear them a new one this time--"

Dash rolled her eyes.

"Oh, good grief," she said. "Just stop. I'm not going to turn you in or anything, okay?"

Quibble, still babbling pathetically about the idiots at Buckbuster, snapped his mouth closed in mid sentence. He looked up. Dash's cheeks had reddened slightly, but she was at least willing to look at him now.

"Really?"

The burn in Dash's cheeks deepened, and she looked away again.

"Well, uh... it's not the worst thing in the world, I guess," she stammered. "Whatever you're into is your business, okay? I don't care, so... just be more careful next time."

Quibble's cheeks were now burning as well, but he quickly nodded.

"Yeah, sure. No problem."

He laughed nervously. Dash cleared her throat.

"Seriously though," she began, "You really need to be more careful with stuff like this. I mean, don't you live with your marefriend and her kid now?"

"Yeah. Well, kinda, anyway." Quibble cleared his throat. "We, uh--"

"Here you go guys, fresh basket of apple fries, piping hot!"

The waiter rematerialized, depositing a basket of apple fries on the table in front of them and then trotting away. Quibble stuffed several of them into his mouth, grateful for the momentary distraction. He wondered how many baskets of these Dash had gone through while waiting for him to arrive.

"Kinda?" Dash raised her eyebrow. She clearly had no intention of letting it go. Quibble chewed quickly and swallowed.

"Well, yeah. It's complicated, I guess. I moved some stuff over there, and I stay over a few nights a week. I still have my house though. Clear Sky says we need to take it slow, because of..."

He clammed up when he realized he was about to bring up Wind Sprint. His eyes darted nervously around, searching for the waiter.

"Wonder how my hayburger is coming along," he muttered. "Usually this place is pretty quick..."

However, Dash was still watching him with her eyebrow raised.

"Uh... huh," she said. "So... are you and Clear Sky moving in together, or... not?"

Quibble sighed.

"Like I said, it's complicated," he said miserably.

"So... not, then?"

Quibble exhaled, and dove headfirst into the basket of apple fries. When he came up, Dash was snickering at him.

"Well, whatever's going on, if you've got stuff like this lying around the house then you really need to be careful," she observed. "I mean, if your marefriend's filly hates your guts now, I'd hate to see what she'd think of you if she saw... this."

She was nodding towards the gem, which Quibble suddenly realized was still lying exposed on the table. He quickly snatched it up and stuffed it into his own saddlebag, which earned him another amused snerk from Dash.

"Where did you get that thing, anyway?" she asked.

Now it was Quibble's turn to raise an eyebrow. The color returned to Dash's cheeks.

"I mean," she continued, "I guess it's not that surprising that it exists, but... the magic mirror thing hasn't really caught on yet, has it? I mean, you're the only other pony I know who even has one. Twilight doesn't even have one, and she loves nerdy magic junk. I wouldn't even have bought one, if you hadn't told me about the Daring Do serials they were making."

Before Quibble could reply, the waiter once more appeared, and set a hayburger basket in front of him. His stomach growled. He realized that he hadn't eaten all day and was starving.

Dash, who had clamped her mouth shut the second the waiter came back, waited until she was sure he'd moved out of hearing range. Then, she continued in a slightly softer voice:

"So how exactly did you, Quibble Pants, the pony who took three whole months of waffling and me bugging you to even work up the courage to talk to Clear Sky, how exactly did you manage to find a store that sells..."

She trailed off momentarily, looking around her again.

"...a store that sells... you know. This kind of stuff."

She gestured towards his saddlebag.

"I mean, aren't just the regular gems with regular stuff on them pretty hard to come by?"

Quibble continued to stare at her, not comprehending what she was asking. A store? What was she talking about?

It suddenly dawned on him that, even though he'd been talking to her about his relationship almost non-stop for the better part of a year, Rainbow Dash had never actually met Clear Sky before, let alone her daughter, and had no idea what either of them looked like.

Whichever gem he'd accidentally given her, they were all pretty much the same. If she'd watched it, there could be no mistaking what was on it. However, it was clear now that she had completely misunderstood what it meant.

Unfortunately, though, he had come to this realization far too late. One quick look at Dash's face made it clear that she had figured it out too. Her eyes had gone wide.

"So... wait a minute," she said. "You mean the filly in that movie was..."

A thousand possible lies ran through Quibble's head in rapid succession, each more preposterous than the last, but even he had enough sense to realize that Dash wouldn't buy any of them.

"Yes," he said miserably, his head drooping towards the table. It was like his neck could no longer even support its weight. As hungry as he was, he had momentarily forgotten about his hayburger.

Since finding Thundercloud's collection he had, of course, spent nearly every waking minute of his life not at work or with Clear Sky furiously beating off to every gem it contained. He was constantly pulling his favorites in and out of the hiding place he'd created for them, and while he was mostly diligent about putting them back, he realized now that something like this had been bound to happen sooner or later.

Still though, having to acknowledge the whole thing out loud like this just drove home how completely messed-up the situation really was. He had no idea how a decent, upstanding pony was supposed to handle something like this, let alone a degenerate like him, but he had a sneaking suspicion that it didn't involve beating his meat to an abused filly while continuing to bang her mother. He was on his way to Tartarus for sure.

Meanwhile, Dash was still putting the pieces together.

"So if the filly was Wind Sprint," she continued, "That means the stallion was..."

"It wasn't me!" Quibble blurted out frantically.

To his complete surprise, Rainbow Dash burst into hysterical laughter. Quibble frowned. In spite of everything that was going on just then, he understood well enough that he was being made fun of.

Dash composed herself and wiped a tear from her eye.

"Sorry," she said, still snickering a little. "But there's no way anypony could make that mistake. I mean, come on! That guy was in amazing shape!"

Quibble stared sullenly down at his flabby barrel, protruding out from underneath his shirt.

I really need to start hitting the gym, he thought.

"I mean, not even my dad was that--"

Dash cut herself off in mid-sentence. She reddened and took an enormous gulp of soda.

"Anyway," she changed the subject quickly. "That's just... wow. Does her mom know?"

"Of course not!" Quibble snapped.

"So, if you didn't buy this thing, then where....?"

Quibble tried to think up a lie, something plausible that would allow him to at least slink away from this converation with some shred of his dignity intact. However, once he started talking, he couldn't stop, and soon the complete story was pouring out of him. He told her everything: the mailbag full of gems, how he'd found it hidden in Clear Sky's garage, the unimaginable range of smut it contained, everything. By the time he'd finished, Dash was just staring at him, her wings protruding slightly further from her body than they had before.

"Wow," she said finally. "Just wow."

Quibble suddenly remembered his hayburger, and tore into it savagely. Dash watched him for a minute, and then she spoke again:

"Break up with her."

Quibble looked up, his muzzle smeared with ketchup.

"Whuht?"

"Break up with Clear Sky," Dash repeated flatly. "As soon as you can. Don't even think about it, just do it."

Quibble swallowed the mouthful of hayburger he was chewing and wiped his mouth with his napkin. He opened his mouth to speak, but before he could get a word out, Dash cut him off.

"No," she said. "Don't think it over, don't argue. Trust me, Quibble, you are in way over your head."

Quibble hesitated.

"Really? I mean--"

"Yeah, really. Whatever happened with that filly and her dad, just trust me: you don't want to get anywhere near this thing. Break up with her, walk away."

"I don't know, I mean, things are actually going really well between me and Sky right now--"

"You mean, aside from the whole 'we can't move in together yet because my daughter who used to get stuffed every night by my dead husband completely hates your guts still, but by all means please keep paying my bills for me' thing?"

Quibble snorted indignantly.

"I don't pay her bills."

"Yet."

"I mean, I help out a little sometimes--"

"Uh huh. Her idea or yours?"

"Well, hers, but--"

Now it was Dash's turn to snort.

"Oh, come on!" protested Quibble. "You don't even know her!"

"I know enough to see that this whole family is beyond screwed up. Just trust me on this one, Quibble. Get out of it while you still can."

Quibble belched, coughed, and took a petulant gulp of his soda.

"What are the odds I'm going to find another mare like Clear Sky?"

"There are other mares out there."

"Other mares that would date me?"

Dash appraised her friend, sitting across the table, half of a dripping hayburger clenched between his hooves. His paunchy barrel stuck out from underneath his white t-shirt, and despite his best efforts at using his napkin there was still ketchup smeared all over his muzzle. She hesitated.

"Well, uh, I mean... other mares exist..."

Quibble glowered, snorted again, and continued to eat noisily. Dash sighed.

"Look," she began. "Has anypony else seen these gems?"

"Naht thah I know uhf."

"And nopony knows that you've seen them?"

"Uh-uh."

"Good. Get rid of them then. Dump them in the river or something. Better yet, put them back exactly where you found them and forget they ever existed."

Quibble paused, holding the last few bites of his hayburger in front of his mouth. He had to admit that what she was saying made sense, but at the same time--

"Hey Rainbow Dash!"

The voice of a young filly suddenly piped up out of nowhere, and Rainbow Dash went completely rigid, a look of panic on her face. They both turned, and Quibble saw that a small orange pegasus filly was standing by their table. She had a short, scruffy purple mane, and her wings looked a little stunted. She was definitely cute, in a tomboyish kind of way, but that didn't account for how nervous Dash looked all of a sudden.

"Oh, uh... hi Squirt..." said Dash, flashing her a rather pained smile.

The filly looked back and forth between the two of them and frowned.

"Who's he?" she demanded rudely.

"Oh, uh, this is my friend Quibble Pants. Quibble, this is Scootaloo. My... uh... flying student."

Quibble smiled and opened his mouth to speak, but Scootaloo barely even acknowledged him.

"We're still practicing today, right?"

"Oh, ye-yeah. Sure."

"Good. Because you promised, remember?"

"Yeah, I didn't forget."

"Good. Because I've been practicing that thing you've been teaching me, and I think I can do it even longer this time if I hold my breath--"

"HAHAH~!"

Dash cut her off with a short burst of nervous laughter, rubbing the back of her neck like Quibble always did.

"Okay, Squirt, that's fine, just, uh... usual place, usual time, okay? I'll be there as soon as I'm done with lunch."

Scootaloo narrowed her eyes.

"Promise?"

"Yeah, haha, I promise, don't worry..."

"Okay!"

The filly's suspicious glare abruptly transformed into a bright smile.

"Scootaloo! Come on, hurry up!"

Scootaloo turned her head and looked back at the restaurant entrance, where two other young foals were calling to her.

"All right, well, I gotta go too, I guess," she said. "Bye, Rainbow Dash."

Quibble started, almost choking on his food. She'd added an unmistakably sultry lilt to that last line. As the filly walked away, she flipped her tail to the side, for a brief second completely exposing herself. Her pussy winked open, the tiny pink clit darting out for the blink of an eye, glistening with moisture.

Quibble turned slowly back towards Dash, who was now blushing furiously and trying to get her wings to retract. He smirked, feeling a lot better now that the horseshoe was on the other hoof.

"So," he said. "That's your... flying student?"

Rainbow Dash slunk a little further down into her seat.

".......yeah."

Neither of them said anything more, but Quibble continued to watch her with a smirk. Her blush deepened.

"Well, it's uh... it's kinda like I told you," she continued. "I don't think it's the worst thing in the world. And also we're done talking about this. Forever."

She promptly stuffed her mouth full of apple fries.

Quibble shrugged and ate the last bite of his hayburger. They both sat chewing in silence.

"Hey, can I ask you something?" he said suddenly. "When you wanted to know if there was a store that sells these kinds of gems, were you asking because--"

Dash reddened again, and growled.

"I was asking for a friend, and we're done talking about this. FOREVER."

By the time the train dropped him off at the depot in Appleoosa, it was dusk and Quibble had had a lot of time to think. Maybe Dash was right, and he should break up with Clear Sky. On the other hoof, though...

He shut his eyes for a moment, just to rest them. Immediately he saw a series of images play out in rapid succession, one after the other.

Wind Sprint, diving after a pass on the buckball field, her young flanks gleaming with sweat. Completely focused on the game, probably not even realizing that she'd just flashed her little teats to an entire crowd of spectators.

Wind Sprint sitting at the dinner table, poking sullenly at the food on her plate. Giving grouchy one-word responses to her mother's questions about school that day and practice that afternoon. Scowling at Quibble and saying nothing whenever he tried to butt in with dumb little pleasantries and comments.

Wind Sprint, sprawled out on her bed at night, snoring loudly. Her bedroom was always a mess and always smelled like damp socks. Her mother was tugging the blanket over her and kissing her goodnight, while Quibble was floating somewhere near the doorway, trying to watch and trying not to watch at the same time.

Wind Sprint, lying on that same bed, in that same messy room with the same dirty sock smell. Groaning like a slut while her father's enormous cock drilled in and out of her tiny asshole.

Quibble's eyes snapped open. He looked guiltily around him, but the street was empty except for an old stallion who wasn't paying him any mind. He shook his head and tried to clear his brain.

Maybe Dash is right, he thought again. If this is all I can think about...

He felt another twang of guilt as he realized that he rarely thought about Clear Sky anymore without it eventually turning into a lewd daydream about her filly. A filly that hated him and wouldn't let him get anywhere near her, let alone get near enough to--

He shook his head again, and kept walking.

Sky's house was at the top of a tall hill, located at almost the exact opposite side of town from the train station. It had been a long day, and Quibble was hardly in the best shape of his life, or anypony's life for that matter. By the time he had made it halfway up the slope, his mane was damp with sweat, and he had an idea of what he ought to do.

I'll break up with her, he thought. Tonight. I'll just bite the bullet and dive right into it.

She'd be waiting up for him, he knew, but she wouldn't have anything special planned. Maybe a light meal set out for the two of them, nothing fancy. She already knew that today was his day to visit Rainbow Dash in Ponyville, so she wouldn't be expecting him to be up for anything too demanding.

He'd never thought about it before, but it was actually a little insulting how much she trusted him. Sky knew that he and Dash were just friends, but still. Would it kill her to get a little bit jealous? It was like she wasn't even remotely worried that another mare might steal him away.

He plodded up the hill, getting sweatier and grumpier with every step.

It sure is a pain, having to climb this hill all the time...

By then he had made up his mind completely. This would be his last time hiking up here. Well, second to last. He'd probably have to come back for his stuff at some point. But yeah, this would be almost his last time hiking up here.

"I'm sorry, * HUFF * Sky," he rehearsed to himself out loud. "It's... * WHEEZE * it's your daughter. She just... * GASP * clearly doesn't like the... * COUGH * idea of my moving in here..."

Finally, he stood at the top of the hill, panting. He had the whole speech worked out in his head. A twinge of anxiety ran through him as he stared at Sky's house for the last time. Well, second to last time. Maybe third, if he had to make two trips. But basically the last time.

"Just gotta do it quick," he muttered. "It's the right thing to do..."

He went up to the front door and rapped on it with a hoof, realizing with some annoyance that she still hadn't given him a key yet. He heard hoofsteps on the other side, and the latch being fumbled with. He quickly gave his rehearsed speech another run-through in his head, just as the door began to open. He opened his mouth to speak, but--

But Daring Do was standing in the entryway of Clear Sky's house. The words froze in his mouth, and were promptly forgotten.

Daring Do lowered her eyelids seductively, and grazed a hoof gently against Quibble's chest. There was something off about her. Her mane style was wrong, and he was pretty sure that even in whatever alternate universe he'd somehow wandered into, Daring Do was a pegasus and not a unicorn--

"I have found the sapphire statue," Daring Do purred in a strange voice. "Did you come here to take it from me?"

Quibble blinked.

"Uh, well, actually, it's the sapphire stone, not the sapphire statue," he said. "Also, that accent is all wrong."

Clear Sky huffed and stepped back, a pouty expression on her face.

"Don't I at least get credit for the costume?" she demanded.

Quibble blinked again.

"Well, y-yeah, it's... well, it's amazing actually..."

The coy, sultry smile returned to Clear Sky's lips as she saw that her outfit was having the desired effect. She leaned in close and gave him a light boop on the nose.

"Thanks," she said.

"How did you..."

She giggled.

"Well, you've been talking so much about magic technology lately," she explained. "Like that mirror you said you bought? The one that plays the moving pictures?"

Wind Sprint lying on her back, throat stuffed with cock, gagging, Daddy's balls slapping against her nose...

"Y-yeah," stammered Quibble. "What about it?"

"Well, you were in Ponyville, and Wind had her Buckball day-camp today, so I decided to check out that magic shop downtown you told me about. The unicorn there was very helpful. I couldn't follow a word of what he was saying about the mirrors, but he did sell me this."

Her horn lit up, and she tugged out a small crystal amulet from underneath her shirt.

"It was kind of hard to figure out at first, but once you get the hang of these things, they're a lot of fun. You can change your coat and mane color, your eyes, even your cutie mark! And I don't even need to learn any complicated spells, it just works on its own. He says you don't even have to be a unicorn to use one of these."

She tucked it back into her shirt when she noticed him staring intently at the set of dials that had been gracefully worked into the crystal surface. She smiled.

"Uh-uh," she whispered coyly. "I went through many trials to capture this ancient medallion from the temple. If you want it... you're going to have to interrogate me."

She was still doing the accent wrong, Quibble noticed, but... it was getting harder to worry about that.

Sky leaned in close and kissed him, deeply, with her tongue. Her breath tasted like she'd been chewing mint leaves. Her mane had the soft lilac scent it usually had after washing.

"So how about it, Doctor Caballo?" she cooed softly. "I'm your prisoner now. What are you going to do with me?"

Quibble, barely recovered from his arduous walk up the hill, was beginning to sweat again.

"Uh........ well, actually it's Doctor Caballeron," he stammered.

"Hmmm?"

Clear Sky... or Daring Do... had turned toward the stairs. She brushed her tail slowly across his face. He inhaled that lilac scent again, along with... something else. He looked down and saw that her pussy was spread open invitingly, her bulbous clit protruding outward. There was a thin ribbon of viscous liquid running from her labia to her dock.

--Scootaloo winking at Rainbow Dash, her tiny clit glistening wet, ready for flying lessons, Wind Sprint's little pussy squirting crystal-clear filly cum all over her bedsheets, whimpering while Daddy pounds her--

Quibble swallowed.

"Uh, what about..."

She followed his gaze up the stairs, then smiled and shook her head.

"Wind had practice all day, she's exhausted. She'll sleep like a log tonight. A ten-ton megaspell going off probably wouldn't wake her up."

She flicked her tail again, tickling his nose. The slick wetness oozing from her pussy caught the light and sparkled.

"Coming?"

She turned and headed up the stairs, swaying her hips as she walked.

Quibble swallowed again. He vaguely remembered that there was something he'd wanted to tell Clear Sky, but he no longer had the faintest inkling what it was.

Quibble's heart was pounding so hard he thought he might pass out. His hips bucked wildly up and down, the bedframe creaking, the headboard slapping against the wall. Even with her face pressed into the pillow, Clear Sky's moaning was so intense he half expected an irritated neighbor to come pounding on their door.

The tingling in his balls finally reached a boiling point, and with one final thrust he exploded, firing a torrent of cum deep into Clear Sky's womb. It felt like he had about a week's worth stored up; it continued to gush, filling her up until eventually it overflowed, oozing down over his balls and mingling with the fluids of Sky's own orgasm. The musky scent of their lovemaking filled the room.

He groaned and collapsed on top of her, his rubbery front legs no longer capable of holding him up.

"Oof!" said Clear Sky underneath him, her voice still muffled by the pillow. With an effort, Quibble rolled to the side, his deflating cock sliding out of her. Her pussy burbled out one last glob of fluid, which melted into a mattress already damp with perspiration and mare-juice.

Clear Sky was breathing hard. She leaned over and kissed him.

"Wow," she said. "I didn't even know you had that in you."

"Uh... thanks?"

She giggled. Her eyes had a dreamy cast to them.

"Guess I know what motivates you now," she said, booping him lightly with her nose. "Should I be worried? If I didn't know better I'd think you like Daring Do better than you like me."

Quibble snorted and coughed. Truth be told, he'd completely forgotten she was still wearing the costume, but the accusation wasn't unfounded. But it wasn't like he could explain to her that "Daring Do" had transformed into her daughter almost the moment he'd put it inside...

Fortunately, Sky completely misinterpreted his reaction. She booped her nose against his one more time.

"You're so cute when you're flustered," she murmured.

She wrapped a forehoof over his neck and kissed him. She still tasted like mint leaves. The kiss broke off with a loud pop, and Sky mumbled something Quibble couldn't understand. A moment later, she was snoring.

The clock on the nightstand ticked out the seconds one by one. For awhile Quibble tried to count them, but his mind kept wandering and he eventually gave up. He lay on his back, Sky's front hoof still draped across him, staring up at the ceiling. It was a warm night, and even with the window cracked open the inside of the room was humid and stuffy. He flipped the edge of the blanket up and down, trying to waft in some cool air, but he couldn't stop sweating. His cock was still smeared with semen and viscous mare cum.

Finally, he couldn't take it anymore. Moving slowly and cautiously so as not to wake Sky, he slid out from under her leg and clambered laboriously to his hooves. He stood by the side of the bed, watching her sleep.

The amulet was still around her neck, and she still had the appearance of Daring Do, but... the mare on the bed was unmistakably Clear Sky. The way she was splayed out across the mattress, snoring softly, a tiny bubble beginning to form in her nose... It wasn't what anypony would call sexy, but somehow... she looked cute like this.

It really was sweet of her to do this for me.

Outside, the moon had nearly reached its peak. A bright shaft of pale light was shining through the window, and it draped across Sky's sleeping form like a funeral shroud. Without warning a sonic rainboom of absolute misery crashed into Quibble, with such a force that his knees almost buckled. When it passed, he felt numb. Drained. There was a dull ache coming from somewhere deep inside him, and suddenly he wanted nothing more than to be out of this room. He turned and walked out into the hall, treading softly so as not to wake Clear Sky.

It was the witching hour and the house was still. Downstairs in the kitchen, Quibble nudged open the cabinet where he knew Sky kept a bottle of spirits. He had to stand on his hind legs to reach it, his forelegs perched awkwardly on the edge of the sink. The cabinet was just slightly too high, the sink protruding just slightly too far into the room. He had to strain the muscles in his neck to open the cabinet and get the bottle down. A unicorn would have no trouble here, and a pegasus could always fly, but for an earth pony this was a damned awkward place to put a cabinet. One of those strange little quirks that homebuilders didn't always think about.

The mug he'd used at dinner was resting in the sink. He fetched it and went to the table. He poured out a generous amount of the potent liquid and set the bottle to the side, then threaded his front hoof through the mug handle and took a big gulp.

He immediately regretted this decision. The liquor roared through his chest like napalm, and he came up hacking and coughing, nearly dropping the mug. When he'd managed to get control of himself, he sat quietly for a moment, listening for anything stirring on the second floor. The house was quiet.

He found that his head was now swimming in a rather pleasant way. He decided to try another, smaller sip. He didn't know enough about alcohol to identify what he was drinking or whether or not it was any good, but whatever it was it was much stronger than cider. As far as he could tell it was some kind of fortified apple wine. The napalm-burn in his chest had subsided into a pleasant warming sensation, and the intense gloom that had overpowered him just a few minutes ago now felt like something far-off and unrelated to him. Whatever this stuff was, he decided he liked it. He had another sip. Then another.

By the time he'd finished about half of what he'd poured, the moonbeams shining through the window had made considerable progress across the kitchen floor, and Quibble was beginning to feel mildly nauseous. He'd been drunk just a few times in his life, but he had enough experience to realize he'd poured out far more than he could finish. It seemed a tremendous shame to waste such a wonderful life-giving elixir, but the thought of drinking any more of this stuff made him want to puke. He got up and dumped the rest of his mug down the drain.

As he clambered up onto the sink in order to put the bottle away, he realized with alarm that his coordination was seriously impaired. Twice he almost tripped over his own hooves, and once his front hoof slipped into the sink with a loud bang, and he cursed as his chin smacked the cabinet. He winced, hoping once more that he hadn't woken anypony up, but the house remained still.

Somehow he managed to get the bottle back inside the cabinet without breaking his neck or destroying Clear Sky's kitchen.

Thank Celestia for small miracles, he thought drunkenly to himself, as he stumbled back towards the stairs.

He felt like he was wading through a swimming pool filled with cotton. His brain was in a fog, and his body barely obeyed his commands, but paradoxically he felt a total clarity of mind, a complete unburdening from all his cares. Every action required intense concentration, and as such he was able to focus his mind completely on each simple task, one at a time, without the annoying buzz of any distracting thoughts.

One hoof in front of the other, he thought. Go slow, don't fall down. Here we go now, up the stairs. Avoid the third step; it creaks. Don't stumble. Left, right, left, right, front hoof, back hoof, up the steps, there we go. And now here's the hallway.

He wobbled unevenly down the hall, back towards the room where he and Clear Sky slept. He hadn't bothered to close the door, and now it stood gaping like an open maw at the end of the hallway. Sky's gentle snoring drifted softly through the opening. A pale shroud of moonlight spilled out across the floor. Something unpleasant gnawed at the pit of Quibble's stomach. He didn't want to go back in there.

He stopped in the middle of the hallway, swaying on unsteady hooves. Without fully understanding what he was doing or why, he turned to the side and nudged open another door.

Wind Sprint's room was completely dark, the shutters drawn tight. The air inside was hot and stuffy, and smelled like sweat and unwashed socks. Quibble stood for a moment, letting his eyes adjust. It was always an absolute mess in here; shadows of toys and clothing and other assorted junk floated in and out of his drunken vision like dim apparitions.

Ever so slowly, he made his way forward through the labyrinth. More than once he stepped on something or tripped on something, and he would freeze in his tracks, cursing under his breath and waiting for something to happen. Waiting for one of the specters around him to spring to life, and perhaps drag him off through that gaping maw to his final judgement, like Don Gioponi. But no judgement came.

Quibble shook his head. What the hell was he even thinking about? What was he even doing in here? He should turn around and go back to bed. If Wind Sprint or Sky woke up and discovered him in here, there was no way it would end well.

As his mind tried to reason with him, his hooves continued their slow march forward. Eventually he stood by the side of the bed, looking down at a sleeping filly.

Wind was breathing softly and evenly, her small barrel inflating and deflating like a balloon. The room was hot, and at some point in the night she had kicked off her blanket, and was now lying on her stomach, completely exposed. Her hind legs were spread wide open in an immodest pose, though her private parts were obscured by her tail.

Quibble swallowed, his mouth suddenly dry. He stood motionless, staring down at the sleeping filly, tracing the outline of her body. Her rump was well-toned from exercise, and had an attractive curve to it. He could feel himself starting to get hard.

He reached out with his front hoof and gently nudged the sleeping filly. She stirred slightly, but didn't wake up. He nudged her again, a little harder this time. She continued to slumber.

What am I doing? his mind wondered helplessly, as he craned his neck slowly forward and gently brushed her tail aside with his nose.

Her dock flipped up on instinct, brushing her tail lightly against Quibble's face. Her genitals were now completely exposed, and close enough that he could feel the warmth radiating from them on his muzzle. Wind used the same mane and tail shampoo as her mother, and underneath the familiar lilac scent was a faint, sour aroma that had Quibble immediately erect.

He swallowed again, swaying unsteadily on his hooves. A light breeze blew in from the hallway. The cool wind felt good against his bare chest. His heart was pounding, making his dick throb even as the apple wine coursed through his thick powerful veins, washing away his (merited) fear of being caught in a filly's room after dark.

Slowly, his hyper-focused drunk mind agonizingly aware of every single movement, he put out his tongue and ran it slowly up the crack of Wind's pussy. Her labia parted, her little clit winked at him. He licked it gently, and the filly moaned and stirred in her sleep.

"Not tonight Dad," she mumbled softly into her pillow.

Quibble froze in place, his tongue still pressed against Wind Sprint's clit, but the filly continued to breathe slowly and rhythmically.

There, you did it!! his mind screamed at him. Now get back to bed before you end up in jail!

But once again, lust defeated reason. Quibble rolled his tongue slowly around the little ball of the filly's clit, savoring the acrid taste and smell of the fluid that was beginning to trickle out of her. He ran his tongue up the inside of her labia, all the way up to her ponut. He made a slow circle around the rim, then began to push it slowly into the hole at the center.

"Uuurgh..."

He froze again as Wind once more groaned and stirred in her sleep. Her tail flicked rapidly, brushing against the side of his neck and tickling his ear. He yanked his head back quickly as her legs began to move.

For one or two seconds of sheer panic, he thought she was actually waking up. But instead she just rolled over onto her back and started snoring.

Wind Sprint was now spread eagle on her back, her underside exposed to him in a way that somehow managed to be simultaneously innocent and obscene. The tiny bumps of her teats were poking up attractively, and he felt a strange metallic taste in his mouth as he stared at them.

He leaned forward again, taking one of her nipples in between his lips and sucking gently. The filly's hind leg bucked a little, and Quibble quickly pulled back, but she stayed asleep. His heart was now pounding so fast he worried he might actually pass out, but he had reached a point where he could no longer stop himself.

Ever so slowly, he raised a front hoof and placed it onto the mattress. He pressed down as lightly as he could, until he had enough of his weight on the bed that he could place his other hoof on the bed. Gradually, he managed to clamber up onto the mattress, positioning himself so that his aching cock now rested between the filly's teats.

He moved his hips slowly back and forth,. The soft fuzz on her belly tickled him in a tantalizing way as he lightly grazed himself against her barrel, the tip of his dick leaking a small trail of precum wherever it went. The filly underneath him continued to snore, completely unaware of everything that was happening.

Straining his hips backward, he teased his cock downward, across the light bumps of her teats and slowly down to her vagina. He was now positioned just outside the filly's love tunnel. He didn't dare try to penetrate her, but he pressed the tip of his dick firmly against the crack between her pussy lips, reveling in the little spasms of warmth it sent coursing through his body as his cock throbbed.

All this attention was causing Wind's pussy to leak a small amount of viscous fluid, and small shivers were running through her unconscious body every time he touched her. She winked again, her clit brushing across the tip of his dick, causing an intense sensation to run all the way down the length of Quibble's shaft and into his balls.

That sent him over the edge. His cock erupted, spraying the little filly's pussy and anus with rope after rope of thick, white cum. A loud cry rose up from the bottom of his diaphragm; he had to bite down on his lip hard enough to draw blood in order to suppress it. His legs turned to rubber, threatening to drop away beneath him and cause him to collapse on top of the sleeping foal.

Through sheer force of will he managed to hold himself upright until his orgasm subsided. His pulse was pounding in his ears like a war drum. Adrenaline combined with the alcohol in his blood once again caused him to lurch dangerously against the brink of unconsciousness. Little specks of light danced at the edges of his vision like fireflies.

Finally, the thrill subsided to the point where he had control over his movements again. He stepped carefully down off the bed, panting. There was a musky scent in the air, and with a start he realized that most of the space between Wind's legs, as well as her teats and belly and a fair portion of her mattress, were now splattered with cum.

"SHIT!" he hissed under his breath. Panic welling up inside him, his eyes darted rapidly around the darkened room. In the dim glow coming in from the hall, he was able to spot a pink and white striped sock draped across a nearby chair, and he seized it in his mouth.

He mopped up the cum as best he could. By some miracle, he managed to get Wind mostly cleaned up without waking her. There was little he could do about the wet spot that had formed on the mattress, other than hope that most of it would evaporate by morning, but he did his best to soak that up as well.

Wind was now as clean as she was going to get, but Quibble then realized that he had a cum-soaked filly-sized sock in his mouth that he had no idea what to do with. He decided there wasn't much else he could do besides take it with him and hide it, and hope that Wind would just think she'd misplaced it. It wasn't as though it would be difficult to lose something in this pigsty of a room.

Once again threading his way through the maze of junk, Quibble backed slowly out of the room and into the hall and nudged the door closed. The door at the end of the hall was still open, the soft growl of Clear Sky's snoring uninterrupted by the night's events. The effects of the wine were beginning to ebb, and Quibble's head began to clear.

Treading softly, he once more descended the staircase and went into the small foyer where his saddlebag rested against the wall. He nudged up the flap, and stuffed the sock as far down to the bottom as he could, right next to the octagonal blue gem that Rainbow Dash had returned to him.

Once a bell has been rung, there is no way to unring it. He couldn't remember where he'd first heard that, but it felt appropriate. A small knot began to form in the pit of Quibble's stomach, tightening with every step as he marched back up the stairs. There was a pale sheet of moonlight spread out across the hallway floor at the entrance to Clear Sky's room. He stepped over it and climbed back into bed as quietly as he could. Clear Sky rolled over in her sleep, mumbling something unintelligible and once more draping her foreleg across his chest.

Quibble lay on his back for what felt like hours, staring at a faint webbing of cracks in the ceiling plaster. He was faintly aware of the sound of birds chirping in the distance when he finally drifted off into a tortured sleep.
