A world apart

Rumble got up every morning and prepared to get ready for school. His older brother, Thunderlane had always been up first and out the door for training, only time he didn’t get up early was if he had some show on. Rumble grumbled slightly at the memory of how long it had been since they had hung out together.

Thunderlane had taught him to be relatively independent for a young colt, in return he often had the run of the house to himself. The only expectation was that he got himself to school. It wasn’t like he was fully alone, Thunderlane did often prepare dinner for the two of them, not that they really had much to talk about.

Today was a day like any other, he made his hay sandwiches, grabbed an apple and simply left for the building. He got along with everyone alright, had friends, some even idolised him for being the younger brother of a Wonderbolt, but he had always found himself day dreaming instead of simply flying high in the clouds instead of being in the school.

Every day was relatively the same, he went to school, did the work and even socialised. Heading towards class he paused as a white unicorn stepped in front of him.

“Rumble!” Sweetie Belle grinned at him.

“Oh hey, Sweetie.” He said unsure of why she had approached him.

“Have you seen, Button?” She asked indicating he wasn’t here.

“Ah, nope.” Button was probably one of Rumble’s best friends, but had a habit of staying up too late and missing school.

Sweetie huffed in annoyance. “We were supposed to go out for milkshakes today, after school.”

“If I see him, I’ll remind him.” Rumble said moving past her to class.

The day went about as well as expected, most of the idle chatter being blurred out, the useless paperwork that even a newborn foal could complete. He began to drift off as he felt something soft backing up into him.

“Hey, what.” He turned to see Scootaloo’s backside.

“Oh, sorry Rumble!” She squawked as she spun around to face him. “I was just trying to move this chair.”

Rumble observed that the orange filly was trying to move her chair over to her friend’s table. He got up and helped, it wasn’t unusual for Pegasi to be weaker physically than other ponies, especially fillys.

“Thanks Rumble.” She said as he finally placed the wooden chair down at the table.

“Yeah, thanks!” Apple Bloom, the third member of the Cutie Mark Crusaders smiled up at him.

He turned around and returned to his own seat and went back to imagining somewhere better. About ten or maybe even twenty minutes must have passed before the orange filly appeared before him again, smiling down at him.

“Yes?” He asked feeling a bit annoyed by the distractions.

“How’s Thunderlane?” She asked him.

“Good, I guess.” The truth was Thunderlane wasn’t one to complain even at the worst of times. “Why?”

“Well, Rainbow Dash has a show coming up, She normally gets me tickets, does Thunderlane do the same for you?” Scootaloo asked.

It was no secret at the school that Scootaloo was the leader of the Rainbow Dash fan club, although in recent years they had seemingly become something more, almost sister’s of sorts. Although Rainbow Dash had gone through some changes of her own, from local lay about to one of Twilight’s friends and becoming the element of loyalty. He wondered if Scootaloo really knew how lucky she was.

“He offers, time to time.” Rumble replied.

The truth was the show’s had become monotonous years ago, the same tricks and the Same roles had become boring to watch. His brother was great at what he did, one might even say too good.

“Would you like to come with me?” Scootaloo’s question took him by surprise.

“Oh, uhm, no thanks.” He answered nervously.

“Oh, okay.” Scootaloo said trotting back to her friends, as they began whispering among themselves.

The day began to end as Rumble packed his bag and exited into the hall. As he was leaving the grounds he felt a tug on his backpack, it took all but three seconds to see it was magical.

“Hold it right there.” Sweetie Belle stormed up behind him.

“Did I do something?” Rumble inquired.

“Did you?” Sweetie angrily asked. “Why did you turn Scootaloo down?”

“Oh.” Rumble thought about earlier. “Well I wasn’t really planning on going to the show is all.”

Sweetie Belle raised a surprise eyebrow. “Really?”

“My life doesn’t always revolve around my brother you know.” Rumble said now equally annoyed.

“Ok.” Sweetie replied. “Then come with us for milkshakes.”

Rumble considered the offer for a moment. He then nodded in agreement, not wanting to appear rude.

The diner in Ponyville was rather empty, which was not the normal. He guessed that everyone was too focused on other activities. He spotted Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo and Apple Bloom seated at a table together. He felt strange approaching them, even though he had been invited.

“Hey, Rumble!” Sweetie Belle noticed him.

Sweetie Belle was the little sister of one of the most famous mares in Ponyville, even before becoming a member of the Elements of Harmony, Rarity had been the source of almost all fashion in the region, now her skills had even reached Canterlot itself, of course Rumble had no real interest in fashion.

“Rumble, you can sit here.” Scootaloo offered as she pat a stool next to her.

“Thanks...” Rumble sat at the table and decided to wait in silence.

“So, what ya been up to?” Apple Bloom, the sister of one of Ponyvilles most richest farming families asked.

“Oh, well I guess, Button showed me some new games like Fruit of Appleloosa, or Princess Canterlot.” Rumble said blushing slightly as he realised how the names sounded.

“Those sound like filly games.” Apple Bloom snickered.

“What are they about?” Sweetie Belle asked not having been shown them by Button.

Rumble could not exactly say they were dating sims, they might think he was weird. He quickly came up with a better answer.

“They’re just anime games.” He said.

“I would enjoy seeing them, they must be more important than your brother’s show.” Scootaloo said with a slightly bit of guarded resentment.

“Yeh, sorry about that.” Rumble said. “It has just been too much lately with him being so busy.”

“Aww, is Rumble lonely?” Sweetie Belle tried joking in a friendly manner.

“Well, what if you spent more time with us!” Scootaloo said excitedly.

“Doing what?” Rumble asked with scepticism. “Help ponies get their Cutie Marks?”

“Well Button often invites me to play his games with him.” Sweetie suggested. “Why don’t you challenge Scootaloo?”

“Ah, I’m not sure-“ Rumble was not the kind of colt that liked the idea of some filly he hardly knew showing up at his door, even if she was perhaps a friend of Button’s marefriend.

“Why not, i’m not chicken.” Scootaloo said waiting for Rumble’s next reply.

“Fine, but we can play at Button’s house.” Rumble said knowing that it was probably going to be three against one anyway.

During the weekend Button opened the door with a nervous look on his face.

“What’s the matter?” Rumble asked walking in.

“Sweetie brought Scootaloo over, I don’t like this idea.” Button’s serious tone failed to match his silly propeller hat.

“Look I think Scootaloo needs friends or something, I’m sure it’s temporary.” Rumble assured him.

“Alright.” Button nodded.

The four of them played games for hours, Scootaloo was actually not too bad. He had assumed her to be more braun than brains but she actually beat him, a few times.

“Button, let’s go make some sandwiches.” Sweetie almost seemed to demand.

“But, you usually make them for me?” Button asked confused.

“Button Mash, come with me or you ain’t going to forget the day you forgot to have milkshakes with me.” Sweetie threatened.

“But, Sweetie!” Button cried. “Ah.”

Button quickly followed her to the kitchen where now it was just him and Scootaloo. The orange Pegasus seemed to sneak strange glances at him and ran her hoof through her mane.

“So, you’re pretty good.” Rumble awkwardly complimented her.

“Thanks, I don’t get to do this much, but Sweetie bought a Ponystation to play online with Button sometimes, on the rare occasion she isn’t helping Rarity.” Scootaloo replied.

“So, is this what you wanted?” He asked curious as to her intentions.

“I, I guess so.” Scootaloo got up from the bed. “I just wanted to hang out, you know.”

Rumble felt a bit guilty about his earlier attitude. “Well, you can hang out with me, sometimes.”

Scootaloo gave him a small smile. “I’d like that.”

Rumble spent the next few weeks hanging out with Scootaloo a bit more. It wasn’t too hard with Button wanting more time with Sweetie. He wasn’t too sure what Apple Bloom was doing but he did know she had two siblings and a farm to run, probably no shortage of ponies to spend some time with.

Scootaloo however was different, she didn’t talk to other ponies as much as the other fillies. He was yet to see her with Rainbow Dash but that was to be expected, he didn’t see his brother much either.

“Wanna come over today?” Rumble decided to ask.

“Oh, is that okay?” Scootaloo asked trying to hide her surprise.

“Well, I trust you enough now.” He joked, the truth was he actually had grown to enjoy her company.

The pair trotted back home chatting idly away. Scootaloo gasped a bit when she saw the size of his home. It wasn’t that big, but she was impressed all the same. His brother owned the house, had bought it with many of his bits from various tournaments and shows.

He let her inside and brought her to his room, a bed with some Wonderbolts posters but also some posters of various games one might have expected to find more in Button’s room.

“You seem to have a lot of interests.” Scootaloo said hopping onto his bed.

“Yeah...” Rumble suddenly felt strange seeing her laying on his bed.

Rumble quickly looked away, realising his face was blushing red. He didn’t even fully understand why, it was as if the sight had jogged something in him he had been in denial about.

“Rumble?” Scootaloo brushed her purple mane across her face. “Are you okay?”

“Yeh...” He forced himself to answer.

They spent the next couple hours playing games but he lost more than usual, instead peeking over to observe Scootaloo. He had heard Button talk about finding Sweetie beautiful, but he had never really grasped the concept.

“Scootaloo, were friends right?” He asked nervously.

“I guess.” She joked. “Yeh, Why?”

“I was wondering.” He carefully twiddled his hooves. “Was there any chance, we could be more than that?”

Scootaloo had been playing the game well but now she froze as if a train was now speeding toward her. She could not even turn to face him.

“I’m sorry, I just was wondering.” Rumble hoped that he didn’t terrify her, he had hoped it wasn’t too big a deal.

“I um...” Scootaloo seemed to ponder. “I better go.”

And like that their first time being in his room had failed. Now he wondered what the consequences would be at school.

Strangely neither Button nor Sweetie pestered him at the entrance, actually they seemed to act mostly normal, Scootaloo herself however seemed to avoid him any way possible. That was until lunch time.

“Rumble...” she said having walked up to him.

“Scootaloo?” He asked feeling uneasy.

“I... want to, go out with you.” She finally got the words out as her cheeks burned red.

“Oh, that’s great.” Rumble really had no idea how to respond to such a thing, leaping for joy wasn’t exactly his desire though.

“I’ll see you after school.” Scootaloo said walking off, her tail swishing in the wind.

Rumble’s heart felt like it was in disbelief, shock, one moment it had been breaking and the next it wanted to jump. His nerves had never been so high. He pondered talking to Button but decided against it, there was no way of knowing if this was going anywhere and if it didn’t it’d be easier if word of it didn’t spread.

“So, your place huh?” Scootaloo said more nervously this time.

“If you want to.” Rumble said noticing now it was Scootaloo that was having tension with the idea of following him home.

They managed to chill more over the next few days, things seemed almost normal, as if they hadn’t agreed to anything.
That was until he felt an instinct to move closer to her, invading her personal space.

“Hey, are you winning?” Rumble asked, hoping his question was enough to distract her from what he was doing.

Rumble couldn’t help but enjoy how soft her fur was, and the warmth radiating from her body was nothing like what he had felt before.

“Rumble, um...” Scootaloo finally seemed to react.

“Yes?” Rumble asked as his heart froze in anticipation,

“What are you doing?” Scootaloo asked.

“Nothing,” He said pulling away from her awkwardly.

The next day he decided to make it up to her by trying not to give into his instincts.

“Hey, Scootaloo, how about today we go to your place?” He asked.

Scootaloo stammered. “My place?” She looked frightened by the question.

“Yeh, or is that bad?” Rumble asked hoping he hadn’t offended her in some way.

“No, um, it’s alright.” Scootaloo nodded.

The journey to Scootaloo’s home was exciting but odd. They travelled to the poorer area of Ponyville and approached a run down home. Scootaloo unlocked the door with the key in her mouth and entered.

As Rumble entered he quickly noticed the home was quite a bit dirty, not seeming like it had been cleaned in some time. The dishes weren’t done and various clothes were strewn about. He even noticed crumbs on the sofa. But he pushed past it because he figured she was probably busy with other things.

I’m sorry about the mess.” She said quickly sweeping the sofa as best she could. “No pony visits much.”

“What about Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle?” Rumble asked with a little bit of curiosity.

“Well, there’s the treehouse, the farm, rarity’s shop, we rarely have need of my place.” She answered inviting him to sit with her.

“What about your family?” Rumble asked looking around and seeing no sign of other pony life.

“Oh, um, I live alone.” She replied meekly.

“Oh cool, kinda like my place.” Rumble said glad they had the privacy. “Do your parents work a lot?”

“No, um, I don’t have parents.” She answered with some remorse in her voice.

“What?” Rumble asked feeling a bit confused, but he didn’t want to push the subject further.

“Yeh not really much to do around here, sorry.” Scootaloo said showing him her purple room with Rainbow Dash posters all over the walls.

“Hey, you got some cool Wonderbolts stuff.” Rumble said impressed by her collection.

“Thanks, a lot of it is gifts from Rainbow Dash.” She said with a smile.

Rumble sat beside her, he felt that he really didn’t want to be too far from her right now. He took a breath and moved toward her, he moved his snout close to hers and moved in for a kiss. Scootaloo was taken by surprise but accepted it and kissed him back.

Rumble enjoyed the sensation of their mouths connecting. He held her head close to his and kept kissing, well into making out territory.

“Wow, Scootaloo, you’re so beautiful.” Rumble said unable to find the words about how he felt,

“You’re handsome, Rumble.” Scootaloo said with her hooves nervously between her thighs and a smile on her timid face.

Rumble felt a feeling that he couldn’t quite describe, seeing her beside him excited him. He began running his hoof along her leg, finding it to be warm and soft to the touch. His colt instincts were rampant and he really couldn’t fully think clearly.

He used his hooves to push Scootaloo down onto her back, taking her by surprise, he ran his hoof through her mane, enjoying every thread.

“Rumble, what are you doing?” Scootaloo asked with uncertainty.

Rumble began sliding his hoof along her belly. He then leaned in and kissed her neck.

“I want you, Scootaloo.” He finally said.

“What do you mean?” Scootaloo contorted her head in confusion.

Rumble didn’t want to answer too many questions. instead he slowly rubbed her body with his hoof down fo her thighs, slowly and carefully he then slid his hoof over her filly opening. Scootaloo freaked and shot up in a panic, managing to summon the strength to throw him off.

“Rumble, what are you doing?!” She completely overreacted.

Rumble breathed a sigh of slight annoyance, it wasn’t a big deal but she was making it out to be one. He then pounded on her again, this time keeping the young filly from being able to throw him off by using his coltish strength.

“Scootaloo, you’re just so beautiful.” He said feeling a strong attraction to her.

This time he didn’t hesitate as he again touched her soft filly parts. It was magical, beyond what he had ever dreamed of.
He leaned down and began kissing her but knew what he really wanted as he moved between her thighs. His size now increased greatly from being so close to Scootaloo’s warm opening. He found himself unable to resist anymore as he rubbed himself up against her.

“Rumble, stop.” Scootaloo said to his surprise.

Rumble hesitated for a moment, he didn’t want to upset her, but at the same time it felt too good to really stop. He felt it her wetness increasing from his pressure despite her objections. His special place had already begun narrowing on hers and the super pleasurable opening that beckoned him in.

He was forced to put a lot of strength behind holding the filly in place, he could tell she was scared by her shakiness but he really wanted this to be as good for her as it was for him. He began pushing into her frail form, her opening designed just for him.

He found her hole to be tight, surprisingly restrictive. He refused to let that get in the way of their time together though. He began to thrust up into her as she cutely yelped from the surprise intrusion.

He began thrusting his body into her as she made strange noises. But they were cute and he enjoyed making them. It quickly got easier as their body fluids mixed. He knew that his brother had once told him that mares and stallions made foals together, and that was precisely what he wanted with him and Scootaloo.

He felt the build up in his body increasing as the bed shook from his pounding. Scootaloo had sniffled a bit at first but had since fallen silent, apart from the cute moans she tried her best to hide.

“Scootaloo, I want to be with you forever.” He said imagining her bearing him foals.

He held nothing back as he pushed deeper and deeper into her goal bearing area. He finally moaned as loud as he could as he exploded into her body, her raised legs spasming. He made sure it was every bit as good for her as it was for him lie a good coltfriend as he collapsed on top of her and cuddled her close.
