Welcome to Equine University

We are pleased that you have chosen the very first college of its kind to pursue your future career endeavors. Here at E.U. we provide a safe learning environment for both human’s and ponies alike to learn and study together as nature intended. We take pride in knowing we are assisting in the slow but sure adaptation of the Equestrian race as it adapts to its recent fusion with Earth and we pray that you the student will feel the same as you attend E.U.

The Campus:

Here at Equine University we take pride in our luscious landscape and open learning environment. Our buildings have been designed for the working student in mind with its buildings specifically built for easy access to classes as well as the living spaces not but a stone’s throw away giving any student the ability to get anywhere on campus with time to spare.

The 2 mile courtyard is open twenty four seven, seven days a week for any student wanting to study outside or enjoy the beautiful natural weather that stays a pleasant 60-80 degrees all year round. The courtyard provides many tables spread across the area to give students the separation from any noise that may distract them.

The Dorms:

Equine University believes that in order to truly accept the Equestrian race as equals; we must be ready to live with them throughout the year in a friendly co-ed dorm room made specifically to house six students comfortably.

The rooms include three rooms made to house two people/ponies per room with a living room big enough to sit ten individuals comfortably. It also includes a bathroom included attached to each of the rooms. Each bedroom comes with its own bed, refrigerator, and dresser for each student as well as a desk to place other essential objects such as books, or a computer.

Free internet and cable is also provided for every student wishing to bring their own computer or television for any of the rooms which include enough room for multiple televisions if the student’s deem necessary.

Meal Plan:

Any student wishing to stay in the dorms must also sign up for a full meal plan. This includes three meals a day seven days a week (Including Holidays).

Breakfast

7:00a.m.-10:00a.m.

Lunch

12:00p.m.-3:00p.m.

Dinner

5:00-8:00

All human students are asked to be considerate of Equine eating habits and respect their diet (Vise-Versa). Should this be a problem for any student, food is permitted to be eaten in the courtyard.

For any question please consult your student handbook that you will be given during administration. Remember to respect all students on campus no matter their age, color, race, or species. Once again we are happy you have chosen Equine University to attend college and hope that you will have a fun and exciting year.

Matthias must have read over the brochure fifty times by now and after everything, he still wasn’t impressed, not at all. It wasn’t his choice to attend this college, his parents made that choice for him; like always sugar coating every aspect to try and make it sound more appealing to the nineteen year old.

Just fresh out of high school Matthias was ready to live his life outside of his parent’s house on his own. During the school year he lined up several scholarships to try out for. Unfortunately, that was when a new world known as Equestria decided to fuse with Earth and decided to mess up all of Matthias’ plans. During the annual college visit Matthias found himself auditioning in front of ambassadors from colleges all around the country; Acting in order to try and get a good enough scholarship to move out of the house and on campus. Sadly out of all the attending colleges, only two offered the needed scholarship; Cowley Community, and Equine University, a brand new college meant to teach students both pony and human alike. Seeing as one actually had “University” in the title; his parents made the choice for him.

“Look on the bright side Matthias; this is an honor if you think about it.” Matthias’ mom stated snapping his attention from the brochure.

“I fail to see how.” Matthias stated with distain as he crumbled up the yellow brochure and threw it into the back seats.

“You are of the first people ever to attend college with this new race. You get to learn things you never knew before.”

“That’s kind of the idea of college mom, and I would prefer if it wasn’t in the company of a frikin’ horse.”

“Pony dear.” His mom corrected. “I think they find that racist.”

“Whatever mom, the point is that why not let someone else attend this stupid college. You know, someone who actually wants to learn along with these….things.”

“Look on the bright side.” Matthias’ mom began. “You’ll be out of the house just like you wanted.”

Rolling his eyes Matthias tried to focus on the black road again, there was no changing his parent’s minds now, countless nights of arguing proved that. Lazily Matthias put his headphones back in turning up the volume to try and block out the country music his mom was playing over the radio slowly letting his music lull him into a calm sleep.

How Does One Start Off In A Cross Species College?

“Matthias, Matthias honey we’re here.” Matthias’ mom said shaking him a little by his shoulder, waking him from his light slumber.

Matthias raised his head to look out the window of the now parked car, taking note of the lush green field he had seen in the brochure, as well as the large tan buildings surrounding it.

“Why not go explore a bit? I’ll go take care of administration and check-in and text you when I’m ready to meet you at your dorm.” Matthias’ mom stated hopping out of the black sedan.

Slowly Matthias exited the vehicle as well slamming the door behind him as he trudged towards the field taking note of all the people talking all around amongst themselves. “Strange.” Matthias mused. “For a college that mixes with ponies, where are all the ponies?” Shrugging it off as a gift from God (of sorts) he made his way to a solitary hill with a single tree separated from all the others, standing alone and providing an ideal place to sit in the shade. Scanning the area once more Matthias sat down under the shade of the tree leaning against the bark as he looked up at the clear blue sky. “This sucks.” He said aloud to no one in particular.

“Tell me about it.” Another voice came from behind.

Turning around Matthias saw a boy roughly his age slowly approaching the tree, his hands shoved into the pockets of his blue jeans. His long black hair flowing faintly with the light breeze as he starred down to Matthias with his green eyes.

“Let me guess, parents made you come here?” he asked.

Matthias nodded turning away from the boy as he stared back up to the sky.

“Mind if I join you?” Again Matthias nodded allowing him to sit down. “I’m Mike by the way.”

“Matthias, are you new here too?”

“Yes sir, first day. What are you here for?”

“Drama. What about you?”

“ Mechanics, not to overly thrilled about it though.”

“Why?”

“I have a pony for a teacher, probably a class filled with them too.”

“Are you against this too?”

“More or less, in all honesty it’s just another thing I’m going to have to get used to.” Mike stated with a sigh. “What about you, you happy about this whole thing?”

Matthias shook his head. “Not whatsoever. Where are they anyway? I haven’t seen any of them yet.”

“In an assembly, they got here a day or two before we did so they’re going through orientation and stuff.” Mike explained getting up from his seat and dusting himself off. “Well Matthias, it was nice meeting you, guess I’ll see you around?”

“For sure.” Matthias stated with a friendly nod watching as Mike began to walk off. Suddenly his phone began ringing in his pocket; it was a text from his mom. “Hey start heading to the East Dorms, second floor room 234.” Then it hit him; he had no idea where anything was on campus. “Hey Mike!” Matthias called running to catch up to him making him stop dead in his tracks.

“What’s up?”

“Do you know where the East dorms are? I have no idea where anything is…”

“Sure, follow me. I’m rooming there too; room 235.”

“I guess we’re neighbors then.” Matthias joked.

Slowly the duo made their way to one of the many buildings on the other side of the courtyard, ironically marked “East Residence Hall” in bright gold letters above the staircase. As they entered the building Matthias could see the almost castle like feel to the lobby alone. It almost reminded him of a mansion with its marble floors and columns. Several paintings covered the walls varying in size; some showing a detailed picture of the two headmasters of the school; one being human the other being an old looking Aqua colored pony standing at his side with an unmistakable grin behind his bushy white mustache, a small gold plate screwed onto the bottom of the frame which read “Headmaster’s William’s and Open Book.”

“Matthias.” His mother called from across the room where she stood at the reception counter.

“That’s my cue; I’ll catch up with you later then.” Matthias stated as Mike began walking up the marble staircase just to the right of the desk.

“See ya Matt.” Mike stated before disappearing from view.

“New friend honey?” Matthias’ mother asked. He nodded. “Well that’s good. Your room’s up on the second floor, why don’t you start heading up there while I register you. Here is your room key. We’ll worry about your bags a little later.”

Following his mothers orders, Matthias went up the large marble staircase up to the second floor going through another door and entering a large hallway well lit and almost welcoming with its ruby red carpet stretching the entire length of the hallway. Looking to a sign he began making his way towards his room going down the left of the hallway and counting each of the door numbers until he reached his; room 234 which was at the very end of the hallway next to yet another staircase not too far away. Sliding the key into the door, Matthias took a final breath of courage before pushing the door open and walking into the room.

The room itself was extremely large, holding two couches and a love seat near the middle with a large flat screen up against the wall on a stand which held several gaming systems inside. To his immediate right there was a large black refrigerator along with a matching electric stove backed up to the wall with a countertop not but a step away, a small room which looked like a pantry at the end of the tiled floor. There were three other doors spread across the room which Matthias guessed to be his roommates; one to the back of the room by a window, and the others on the right and left of the room, each was closed and probably locked which made Matthias wonder if his roommates were ponies or human. Judging by the TV he would at least have one human roommate he could talk to.

Suddenly the door opened behind him and Matthias’ mother stepped through carrying some of his smaller bags, a blue sheet in her hands. “Here Matthias.” She stated handing him the sheet as well as yet another set of keys. “The sheet has your room, and dorm mates names on it, and the key’s are to get into your room, the other is one is a spare in case you lose it.”

Taking the sheet Matthias began to look over the sheet finding his name at the top just over another. “Rainbow Dash, what kind of name is that?” he mused to himself before moving on down the list. “Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy, Applejack, Vinyl Scratch, you’ve got to be kidding me, these aren’t names there some sick joke or something.”

“Now your roommate’s have already moved in so you’re all that’s left. Help me get your things from downstairs and we can get you all set up.” Matthias’ mom stated putting his bag down on the sofa.

Matthias grunted as he dropped the last of his bags on his bare bed. His mom had left after a drawn out goodbye leaving Matthias alone in this hell-hole they called “A School”. Matthias wanted to just get out of there as soon as possible before his roommate came, he didn’t want to deal with whatever was about to share his room with him.

“Look on the bright side Matthias, at least its tidy.”

It was true; the bed was neatly made covered in a lavender bed spread with some sort of pink star sewed into the comforter. While the rest of its side of the room was as neat as the bed, books on the desk were upright and put evenly on the shelf. In truth wherever you looked it was in perfect order making Matthias side look worse than it actually was.

Slowly he unzipped the first of his bags and pulled out the first set of his clothes before walking over to one of the dressers and pulling out the drawer to set them inside. Slowly Matthias looked to the other dresser on the other side of the room. “What exactly might a pony need a dresser for?” he thought to himself. Looking towards the door once he slowly walked over and pulled out the top drawer, revealing nothing but the wood it was made out of. “Maybe it’s not tall enough to put anything up here.” Moving on down he pulled out the second drawer, again there was nothing. “Two drawers down.” He stated preparing to pull the next drawer out. “Two to go.” Slowly he pulled out the oak drawer and peered inside at the contents.

Inside were several rows of what looked like socks stacked in even levels and divided by color; and while the primary color of them all was purple there was also several other various colors spread out as well. “Apparently ponies wear socks.” Matthias stated taking a single purple sock from the drawer and holding it front of his face.

“What are you doing!?” a voice said from behind. Immediately Matthias turned to see a small purple horse like figure standing in the door way. It’s face stricken with anger while its cheeks were slightly blushing. He turned to the single sock before looking at the purple horse again.

“Nothing!” he stated dropping the sock back into the drawer and slamming it closed. The small horse scowled at Matthias before a nearly blinding light emitted from the small horn protruding from its head.

“Get out!” it yelled before suddenly Matthias surrounded in a light purple aura and in the blink of an eye he was zapped into the hallway landing hard on his ass outside the door.

Matthias was stunned for a moment examining his surroundings. “What the hell was that?” Matthias stated before getting up and dusting himself off.

“Making friends with your roommate I see.” A familiar voice said from behind. Turning around Matthias immediately saw Mike standing in the doorway across the hall from his room leaning against the door frame with his arms crossed over his chest.

“You could say that.” Matthias said jiggling the doorknob which was now locked. “Shit. My key’s are in there.”

“Locked out?” Mike asked chuckling slightly.

“More like zapped out. I’m still not sure what happened.”

“Magic probably.” Mike stated

“Okay what!?” Matthias stated in disbelief.

“You don’t know?”

“Know what?”

“Come with me. I’ll explain it on the way.”

The First Day

“So let me get this straight.” Matthias stated taking the bottle of soda away from his mouth. “There are three types of these ponies.”

“Four if you count the princesses.” Mike stated.

“So my roommate is a… unicorn.” Matthias stated in disbelief.

“If she zapped you out of your room then yeah, I’d imagine she is. She is a ‘she’ right?”

“Judging by the voice and how angry she was when I got into her sock drawer, I’d say it’s safe to assume so.”

“Wait. That’s why she’s mad at you?”

“Yeah, but I was just curious.” Matthias defended.

Mike immediately began laughing uncontrollably gaining some weird looks from those around him. “Geese I’d hate to see what you would do if you were creeping on her.”

“Ha, ha, ha fuck you.” Matthias stated rolling his eyes. “And what about you huh, what are your roommates like?”

“Well one’s a neat freak the other is a party animal.” Mike began. “Haven’t met the others.”

“Lucky you.”

“Come on man. This is going to be a long year if you start it off like this.”

“Well then Jimmnie Cricket, what do I do next?”

“Apologize, it’s not rocket science.”

“Oh yea, ‘hey, so I’m sorry about invading your personal belongings, perhaps we can kiss and make up and become the best of friends.’” Matthias stated rolling his eyes.

“Good start, but I think your moving a little fast, kissing usually happens on the second date.”

“Dude shut up. I still hate the fact I’m going here but the last thing I need is to make an enemy of my roommate who I only just met on the first day.” He explained. “Besides, kissing a pony…really?”

“Hey come on man, I’m just fucking with you.” Mike stated slapping Matthias on the back.

“Whatever. The point is that she thinks I’m a creep and the chances of me getting back into that room are not all that great at the moment.”

“Well at least the hallways are carpeted.” Mike joked earning yet another hairy eye from Matthias. “Okay, okay I’ll let you crash on the couch if push comes to shove. But don’t think you’re going to be my new roommate, you have to go back into that room sometime.”

“Deal.” Matthias stated with a nod relaxing back in the cafeteria chair.

Matthias stood outside of the pure white door with his room numbers the color of gold. Several times he went to knock but fell short before his fist hit the wood. He had no idea what to say, how to look her in the eye and tell her he was sorry; he was never good at that sort of thing, and when push came to shove he would always avoid pissing people off so he would never have to apologize.

Taking a final breath of courage Matthias raised his hand again, when suddenly; the door opened just before his fist collided. Having being used to seeing humans Matthias was stunned at first; no one was there.

“Down here.” A familiar female voice said, obviously annoyed.

Looking down Matthias saw the same angry pony as before looking up at him with the same annoyed expression that cut into Matthias soul. Now that she wasn’t angry with him took time to look at her.

Roughly the height of his waist, the unicorn pony had a long purple mane with a single stand of pink standing out as well as a small purple horn coming from her head. A long tail similar to the color of her mane coming from her flanks (which had a mark similar to the one on her bed spread on either side.) Matthias had to admit; looking at her now there was some sort of…admirable characteristics about her.

“Well?” she said again getting Matthias’ attention back on track.

Matthias met her gaze looking into her unforgiving purple eyes. “Listen...” He started “I’m not… great at this whole… apologizing business.” He scratched the back of his head nervously avoiding her gaze completely. “So I guess what I’m trying to say is…”

The unicorn let out a light chuckle making Matthias turn his gaze back to the small pony. “We both did something we’re not proud of. I apologize for yelling at you and teleporting you out of the room; if I were you I would be curious about meeting a new species as well.” The unicorn stated. “My name is Twilight Sparkle, I am pleased to make your acquaintance, and judging by the only human name on the list you must be Matthias, am I right?”

Matthias nodded as the unicorn stood aside and let him in the room. Different from the last time he once silent dorm room was bustling with sound. All around electronics were turned on from the TV, to a stereo in the other room with the bass turned up to make the room shake.

“These walls have to be thick to block out that bass” Matthias said aloud.

“Or you have a magic sound barrier to limit it to this room.” Twilight stated with a smile. “Girls we have company!”

Suddenly the music stopped, the game playing on the TV paused and whatever activity in the room suddenly stopped and all attention focused on him. Hopping off the couch Matthias saw two ponies Twilights size come into view. One was all white with a dark electric blue mane with a single light blue steak amongst the mane and tail with a brilliant white horn sticking out from atop its head. The pony also wore a large pair of purple sunglasses in front of its eyes preventing Matthias from seeing her eye color. Matthias looked towards the white mare’s flanks curiously finding a single black eighth note on either side “That mark must be different for each of them.”Matthias thought to himself turning to face the other pony.

The other pony was entirely different from the others. While this one was a single solid color like Twilight; cyan blue, this mare had wings coming from the her sides folded neatly to where the ends pointed towards her flanks where a rainbow lightning bolt stood against the blue fur. Her mane made her stand out as well; where Twilights and the other white mares were like a two tone blend, this one was literally every color of the rainbow.

“Matthias, may I introduce you to our dorm mates; Vinyl Scratch, and Rainbow Dash.” Twilight stated gesturing towards the white mare and then the other.

“So you’re the one who broke into Twi’s sock drawer huh?” The white mare stated while chuckling. “I’m going to go out on a limb and say that you have no idea why ponies wear socks do you?”

“I was kind of wondering yeah.” Matthias admitted earning a laugh from the white and cyan mare.

“I think I’m going to like you Matthias.” She stated reaching out her hoof as if to shake.

Matthias knelt down and began reaching out to shake but fell short not knowing the proper edicate to go about shaking it merely stood there for a moment dumbstruck.

“You hoof bump it dude.” Rainbow stated walking over and bumping her hoof against Matthias unsuspecting hand popping several joints in the limp fingers. “It’s not that hard.”

Matthias clenched his fist and slowly reached out until it bumped against Vinyl’s waiting hoof, and then to Rainbow who had been holding hers up to do the same.

“See. Like I said it’s not that hard.” Rainbow stated with a smile.

Matthias smiled back still fairly uneasy about the whole ordeal. Suddenly the front door open and a loud voice carrying an unmistakable southern accent came through the door.

“I tell you Twi, Shy is as un-easy as a colt in matin’ season.” Suddenly the voice fell short and a sudden “Oh” came from behind.

Turning around Matthias saw yet another pony, this time orange with no wings or horn, it literally was just a pony. However what it lacked in extra appendages it made up for in physique, her muscles were toned and way more muscular than any of the ponies Matthias had seen thus far. Looking to her flanks he saw three single red apples roughly the same color as the ties she had in her blond tail and mane which was under an old looking Stenson hat atop her head. Her emerald green eyes were fixated on Matthias almost as if she was hesitant to approach him her face showing obvious signs of being un-sure of the whole ordeal, even behind the freckles on her face.

“Applejack, this is Matthias. Matthias, Applejack.” Twilight stated.

“How do you do.” Matthias stated.

“Howdy.” Applejack greeted. “So you’re the human that’s rooming with Twi?”

Matthias gulped fearing that out of all the ponies in the ponies in the room this one probably could ‘literally kick his ass’.

“Yeah.” Matthias said avoiding her gaze.

Applejack slowly approached him getting back into his view. Seeing he was slightly nervous of her face straightened up and a small grin appeared on her face. “Easy there partner, jus’ never talked to one of y’all before.” She stated.

“Applejack, you said something was wrong with Fluttershy?” Twilight asked. “

“Just nervous is all.” Applejack stated. “Somethin’ about leaving Angel behind or somethin’ like that.”

“Who is Fluttershy?” Matthias asked.

“She’s my roommate.” Applejack stated. “Lives up to her name you might say.”

“That’s Fluttershy for you.” Rainbow sated with a laugh returning to the sofa and un-pausing her game making Vinyl scrabble back next to her and pick up her controller in her hooves restarting the music with her horn making the bass echo through the room again.

“Dang it Rainbow you cheater!” Vinyl complained as her character was shot to death on screen, making Rainbow laugh.

Matthias shook his head looking at each of his new dorm mates as they talked amongst themselves. Although he still wasn’t used to the whole idea of being roomed with ponies; he had to admit, it wasn’t at all like he thought. At first he pictured just your generic dwarf horse; unable to communicate well and completely oblivious to the occurrences around it. But after meeting Twilight and the others, he was happily proven wrong, and he was starting to get used to the idea of sharing the room with this new species… even if they were all mares.

Twilight wrote slowly in her black leather journal looking at Matthias every so often to see the humans sleeping behavior taking note of every little movement he made whilst sleeping. The human exhibited very curious behaviors much like a ponies but at the same time very different in nature. Every so often he would let out a relaxed groan as he would move again, getting into another position before settling back down and wrapping himself in the blue sheets.

The Human exhibits very similar sleeping behaviors similar to a pony, almost a mirror image in the way it presents itself during the first night. However due to lack of fur it must cover itself in order to keep warm yet takes the top half of his clothing off to gain more comfort. The human’s bed is also completely different as well, instead of one simple light sheet he has put on three, the sheet, a blanket and the comforter.

Matthias was an interesting specimen of a human, at first Twilight didn’t know what to think of him at first. Although their first meeting wasn’t exactly had she had planned, she couldn’t blame him for being curious… I mean she was curious about him as well. She turned towards him again, looking at his bare upper body that wasn’t covered by the sheet, taking note of the completely different colored skin alien to her own. A lazy arm hung off the bead dangling from the side of the bed with his fingers inches from the ground almost grazing the red carpeted floor. Twilight took extra notice of his hand; from where she was she could see five individual fingers coming from the muscular palm. She had read what she could about the appendage from the books the princess had gotten for her, but seeing it now was completely different than she would have imagined… she had to get a closer look…just for a moment.

Getting up from her chair Twilight crept over to Matthias’ bed slowly leaning in and looking at the skin of his hand as well as the muscles of his arm. She inched closer almost touching the hand with her snout, looking at the nails and other curious marking she had missed before. She looked towards Matthias who looked to be still asleep before touching the hand briefly with her snout wanting to know the feeling of his skin, rubbing along the muscular palm. She had to admit, skin was a lot softer than she’d imagine. Matthias let out a tired groan before lifting his arm away from Twilight and turned over to face the wall with his bare back to Twilight, who looked on in amazement, and she thought the human hand was fascinating. Seeing his back she could see individual bumps along his spine just there for the counting.

Putting her front hooves up on the bed she reached up with her muzzle and put it against the first one behind his neck and then sliding down slowly counting as she went. “1…2…3…” A muffled groan came from Matthias as his head looked over his shoulder, looking to Twilight with tired eyes.

“Twilight. What are you doing?” he asked, his voice groggy and hardly understandable.

Twilight instantly blushed realizing the situation she was in instantly jumping off the bed. “Nothing!” she stated avoiding his gaze as he sat on the edge of the bed rubbing one of his eyes with his fingers before turning towards the clock.

“Twilight, it’s two in the morning. I know we don’t have class tomorrow but it’s still late.” Matthias stated. “What were you doing anyway?”

“I… was… uh…” She started trying to think of an excuse as to why she was basically feeling Matthias up. Coming up with nothing, she let out a sigh. “I was examining your skeletal structure, I was looking at your hand but then you turned over and put your back to me… and so I worked with that.”

“Well ok then.” Matthias stated. “That’s either the truth, or the absolute worst pick-up line I’ve ever heard a girl…mare use.” Twilights blush intensified making Matthias grin slightly. “Get some rest Twilight, we’ll talk more tomorrow about my…’skeletal structure’.”

Laying down again Matthias covered himself completely before almost instantly going to sleep again leaving Twilight just standing there looking at his figure underneath the covers. Looking to her work desk she used her magic to turn off her lamp, filling the room with darkness as she walked to her bed and pulled back the purple covers. She looked over to Matthias one last time before hopping up into her own bed letting her mind wander as she closed her eyes attempting to fall asleep.

“Did he really think I was hitting on him or something?” She mused to herself. “I mean really, a human and a pony. A relationship like that would never work…would it?”

A Look At Things

This is the last of my per-written chapters. As now, I will have someone to look over them and edit them so I don't get as many people complaining about the grammar.

“Wait, wait. So you’re telling me Twilight…felt you up last night?” Mike asked in disbelief biting into his sandwich.“You’re kidding right?”

“I shit you not man, like I said last night when I woke up I felt her running her mouth down my back, it creeped me the fuck out.”Matthias explained.

“What was her excuse?”

“Examining my ‘skeletal structure’, if that makes sense.”

Mike raised an eyebrow in surprise. “Okay then.” He stated leaning back in his chair and running a hand through his hair. “Can we… change the subject, I mean we did just meet yesterday, isn’t it a little early to be swapping sex stories?”

“Okay then.” Matthias stated. “What about you, how are your roommates, are they as crazy as mine?”

“Well apart from the pink party obsessed one and a white OCD freak we have a questionably sane crossed eyed Pegasus, a weird mint green unicorn with a fetish with hands, and the other one, I haven't met yet.” Mike explained. “Other than that, it’s a regular walk in the park.”

“Well ok then. So it’s agreed, we both have terrible roommates.” Matthias stated. “Wanna trade?”

“I wish man, but I think the rooms are finalized or some shit like that. So you’re stuck with your bone loving roommate.” Mike stated getting up from his chair. “I’m just across the hall if you need a place to crash though… you know, in case she gets a craving for a different kind of bone.”

“That’s wrong man.” Matthias stated almost gagging.

“I don’t know man; I think these ponies don’t really mind the whole different species thing. I overheard one of those mares hitting on a guy on the way over here.”

“Did he go for it?”

“No idea, but I think he was considering it…hard to say.” Mike stated.

“Well I’m going to head back to the dorm, I woke up two hours before my alarm went off today and I’m going to go make them up.”

“Whatever man, I’ll catch you later.” Matthias stated getting up himself and exiting the lunch room letting his mind wander as he walked towards the same hill on the edge of the campus line; the same hill where he had met Mike only the day before.

As Matthias stepped onto the hill his eyes began to wander to the students walking merrily to whatever destination they were headed, some humans, others ponies, each chatting with one another no matter what their species were, taking note of a certain couple in particular. It was a male stallion chatting with a human female, by his stature, the smile on his face, and the way she was blushing at certain comments made it all too obvious that he was flirting with her; and she was no doubt enjoying it.

At first Matthias wanted to gag at the mere thought of the two of them actually going somewhere in any kind of relationship, however he did have to admit; she did look genuinely happy, and so did he. Was he over thinking this? I mean, it seemed like not too long ago people frowned upon people from ethnicity marring each other, were ponies really that different; and besides, wasn’t love blind? But that still didn’t change the fact that it was basically a horse; hooves and all, if push came to shove and the two made it into the bedroom, was that considered bestiality, or completely normal? It was against everything Matthias was taught to believe, but here he was questioning the whole ordeal he found gross not an hour ago. He looked to a separate couple; this time two ponies one a jet black pegasus with a long white mane walking alongside a grey pony with long black hair, each chatting merrily with the other as they walked along the side walk. Not too far away two humans were talking, obviously a couple with the way they were walking with the other held close. Were they really that different than the potential cross-species couple not a few steps away?

Matthias sat there for a good hour, at first watching the many students on the grounds as they passed, before climbing the tree and watching as the sun went down, attending to his own thoughts, battling conflictions as best he could on his own. He began debating what it would be like if he did try to pick up a pony, just how well would that work out, would he be shunned by the public, and hated by all? Or would they just accept it and pay him no mind as they went on with their own lives?

Mike slowly approached his door removing the bronze key from his pocket and sliding it into the key slot unlocking the metal latch as he stepped inside immediately being met with the loud chatter of his roommates as they bickered back and forth in the living room in front of him.

“I’ve told you a thousand times Pinkie; streamers would clash with the drapes and carpet!” The white unicorn Mike recognized as Rarity stated as she starred down her pink roommate Pinkie Pie.

“But Rarity, you can’t possibly have an ‘I’m so happy to be in college party’ without streamers.” Pinkie complained before turning to Mike as if she knew he was there. “Right Mike?”

Rarity turned to Mike as well, her face expecting his next response.

“I don’t know Rarity, she was a point.” He joked causing Rarity to just roll her eyes in annoyance.

“It’s like arguing with a brick wall.” She retorted.

“Does Pinkie still have her mind set on that party?” A mint green unicorn stated coming out of her room.

“Unfortunately, I can’t seem to talk her out of it Lyra.” Rarity said shaking her head in disappointment.

“Well that’s Pinkie for you.” Lyra joked as she made her way into the kitchen making an extra to bump against Mike as she approached. “What’s up big guy, any word on that roommate of yours yet?”

“Not a one, I’m starting to think she either doesn’t exist or is looking for a way to not room with me.” Mike stated walking into the living room and planting himself on the leather couch.

“Well you could always room with me. I’m sure Ditzy wouldn’t mind it.”

“And risk you raping my hand again? Thanks but I’ll pass.”

Lyra rolled her eyes. “Come on, it’s not my fault I find you guys fascinating.”

“It kind of is.” Mike stated.

“Eh, details.” She stated. “Be thankful I’m not my friend Twilight Sparkle; odds are she probably would have tried examining more than just your hands.”

Mike chuckled to himself. “Believe me, I know.”

“Why’s that darling, have you met her yet?” Rarity asked.

“Not in person no, but my buddy across the hall had the displeasure of meeting her yesterday”

“Oh so that’s why he wanted to talk to you this morning.” Lyra stated.

“Yeah, he woke up yesterday with her feeling up his back apparently. It scared the hell out of him.”

“Oo, we should invite Matthias to the party tonight.” Pinkie stated suddenly dashing for the door.

“But Pinkie there isn’t…” Lyra began but it was too late, she was already out the door. “So it looks like we’re having a part tonight.”

“Not if I can help it.” Rarity said running for the door in hot pursuit. “PINKIE!!!”

“I better start setting up decorations.” Lyra sighed.

“I thought Rarity was going to stop her.”

“Obviously you haven’t met Pinkie Pie.”

“Come on, she’s not that fast is she?”

Suddenly the door opened and as if on cue Pinkie strolled in merrily.

“Alright, I invited everyone on campus, except Matthias but that’s because I couldn’t find him, but don’t worry, he’s on my list.”

“And may God have mercy on his soul.” Mike stated.

“Celestia.” Pinkie corrected.

“You can believe in your supreme horse deity and I’ll believe in mine.”

“Pony.”

“Whatever!”

Matthias got up from the hill dusting the dust from his jeans and began to stretch his arms over his head. He enjoyed staying out on that hill, he’d have to remember it next time he had a lot on his mind. Even after the hours he spent alone on that hill watching the sunset he hadn’t come to a rational conclusion about the whole human/pony relationship thing that may or may not be occurring on campus, all in all if he had to come to a decision to let everyone decide for themselves, if they wanted to dance the horizontal tango with a pony that was their business, and it to leave him out of the equation if at all possible.

Beginning his walk back to the dorm Matthias saw a curious yellow Pegasus staring up into a tree saying something, but obviously too far away to hear. He looked around, “Perhaps she’s talking to someone.” He thought. “Or maybe she thinks if she talks to the tree long enough it’ll talk back.” Seeing as it wasn’t too far out of his way, he decided to investigate.

“But Mr. Bird if you don’t let me look at your wing it’ll never get better.” He heard the Pegasus say in almost a whisper as he approached. “Please come down?”

Looking up into the tree Matthias saw a small sparrow perched on one of the branches, looking down at the small pony as it attempted to coax it down.

“Is she really trying to talk with a bird, what is she…?” Suddenly the little sparrow leapt from the branch and fluttered down to the Pegasus landing on its back. “Well I’ll be damned.” He stated aloud making the Pegasus almost jump out her skin, seeing this Matthias knelt down to the pony’s height. “Sorry I didn’t mean to startle you.”

It remained silent, hiding behind its long pink mane and gazing over to Matthias with a single teal eye. He looked to her then to the bird.

“So, you can talk to animals?” Matthias asked trying to strike conversation with the shaking pony. No response. “Well ok then, I’m just gonna go.” Matthias stated getting up and heading towards his dorm room again. If she wanted to spend the entirety of her evening talking to birds, that was her problem, not his.

Upon entering the hall way where his dorm was, Matthias was met with an uneasy feeling, as if someone was watching him, preparing to jump him or something. He looked behind him only to find an empty hallway with closed doors on either side. He faced forward trying to shake the feeling as he made his way towards the end of the hall. There was a creaking sound behind him making Matthias turn towards where he came in. Suddenly, the lights shut off and standing silhouetted in the darkness of the hallway was a pony shaped figure. It moved once stepping towards Matthias which made him back up uneasily. It took another step, and then another before suddenly it bolted right at Matthias making him run in the opposite direction towards his door fumbling for the keys in his pocket.

Upon reaching the wooden door he removed the bronze key from his jean pocket only to find his shaking fingers unable to keep hold of them, dropping them on to the ground. He reached down, desperately trying to pick them up, but it was too late, not a second later he was suddenly thrown onto his back, looking up at the pony figure as it stood on his chest standing triumphantly over its prize.

Matthias watched in horror as its head leaned forward slowly edging towards the light coming from the window just behind Matthias. It took in a great breath making Matthias clench his eyes shut out of fear as he raised a hand to shield his face.

“Hi I’m Pinkie Pie, and you must be Matthias.” It said in a bubbly voice.

Matthias opened one of his eyes looking under his arm at his attacker. Standing on his chest was a pony, a pink earth pony with a mane that looked as if it was combed with a baseball bat and styled with a balloon.

“Judging by how I’ve never seen you before and the fact I couldn’t find Matthias earlier I can safely assume that you are Matthias, and so this invitation is for you.” It said reaching into her mane and removing a blue envelope from within.

“You are invited to room 235’s first annual ‘I can’t believe I am in college party.’ Matthias took the envelope in his hands, still unable to speak due to his racing heart. “Can I count on you to be there?”

Matthias merely nodded unable to wipe the confused look off his face as it starred at this new pony as she got off him and went into Mike’s room, the lights turning on in the hallway as she closed the door.

“What just happened here?”

Alright guys, here is where I thank all of you for favoriting my story (All 100 of you, damn!). It really means a lot to me and I would appreciate it if you would thumb up the story if you get the time (And you deem this story worthy.

Keep On Keeping On Guys

-Matthias(SonicsDemon)

Of Humans And Ponies

So yeah, I know this took awhile. I apologize for my absence.

And my editors will not be receiving their pudding pops.

Matthias stood lazily against the far wall of Mike’s apartment, a red cup of whatever was in the punch bowl at that current moment in time in his hands, but he dare not drink in fear that someone had spiked it. The room was relatively empty apart from several groups of ponies and humans chatting over the loud music, each were separated according to their species.

Matthias was surprised really. Twilight had spoke highly of Pinkies parties, saying that they were all the rage back where she was from, with the whole town in attendance and always waiting for the next one. However she had no idea how to host human parties; the music she had down, dub step and up to date dance music, but her idea of fun was a little off. Admittedly, the amount of people that were in the room had severely decreased since the part had started.

“Hey Matthias.” Mike greeted coming up and standing next to him. “Enjoying the party?”

“About as much as the people who are walking out right now.”

Mike turned to see the last of the guests walking out the door, each with an almost bored look on their faces, leaving only Mike and Matthias roommates who had hardly noticed the now almost empty dorm room.

“Hate to say it Mike, but this party is dead.” Matthias stated.

Mike nodded in agreement taking a sip of the punch in his hand. “I guess it’s a little early to be throwing a party with everyone so unsure about the whole cross species thing.”

“C’mon guys, just because everyone else is a party pooper doesn’t mean we can’t have a good time.” Pinkie stated.

“How about a few good party games?”

Mike shrugged. “I’m down, Matti are you in?”

“Better than just going back to the dorm and sleeping.” Matthias shrugged

“Awesome!” Pinkie stated. “C’mon everypony, let’s play truth or dare.”

“Okay Pinkie truth or dare?” Rainbow asked with a mischievous grin.

Pinkie pondered for a moment placing a hoof to her chin. “Dare! I mean Truth!”

“Okay… have you ever kissed a mare?” Rainbow asked.

“RAINBOW!” Rarity stated. “That’s no question for a lady!”

“Of course, I used to kiss my mother every night back when I was little.” Pinkie replied with a smile.

Rainbow paused for a moment, unsure of what to say next.

“No Pinkie, have you ever kissed someone like… I don’t know Ditzy?” Mike explained.

“Why me?” Ditzy demanded.

“You were the closest.” Mike deadpanned.

Pinkie pondered for a moment. “No, I don’t think I’ve ever kissed Ditzy before.”

“Just forget it.” Mike face palmed. “Pinkie, it’s your turn.”

“Okay Mike, truth or dare?” Pinkie asked.

“Dare.” Mike replied.

“Okay, I dare you to eat a cupcake…”

“Pinkie that’s hardly-“

“While standing on your head.”

Matthias let out a small chuckle at Mikes expense earning a hateful glare from the boy as he got up and walked over to the wall, Pinkie trailing close behind carrying a small pink cupcake atop her head.

Unbeknownst to the rest of the group Twilight stared intently at Matthias as he went along his business, taking note of his features and how certain muscles moved when he would laugh, or occasionally yawn, stopping only to compare them to Mikes or to avoid his gaze. “If only he didn’t wake up yesterday, I could have seen him in detail.” She thought to herself. Suddenly a nearby cough broke Twilight’s concentration and her gaze shifted to the now upside down shape of Mike who now had pink frosting on his mouth, Pinkie rolling on the floor laughing along with the rest of the group.

Getting up from the ground Mike wiped his moth with the back of his hand. “Physical impossibilities aside, that was pretty good.” Mike chuckled as he walked over and took his place next to Lyra and Rarity. “Okay Twilight, your turn.”

Twilight snapped back to reality meeting the gaze of those around her as they waited for her to take her turn. Her purple iris looked at each one of them, at first she considered asking Rarity what the sauciest romance novel she has ever read was, but as she thought about it further, and she hoping to ask Mike or Matthias something about humans but she could probably get the same answers if she asked either of them later. “What would be something that she could ask of them now that they couldn’t refuse to answer?” Then it hit her. “Matthias, truth or dare?”

Matthias thought for a moment. “What’s the worst that could happen right?” “Dare.” He replied, full of confidence, ready to face whatever Twilight was going to throw at him.

A smile decorated Twilights face. “I dare you to become my personal test subject while you are staying in the room.”

Matthias was taken aback for a moment unsure of what exactly was just asked of him. “What do you mean Twilight?”

“Yeah, surely you can’t mean like a sex slave right.” Mike asked in disbelief.

“What? NO, get your minds out of the gutter!” Twilight said with an unmistakable blush on her cheeks. “I just want someone I can research for my human studies here on earth.”

“Perchance I don’t agree to this.” Matthias said.

Suddenly Pinkie popped up next to Matthias getting eye level with him. “It’s truth or dare Matthias, you made the decision with dare, so now you have to follow through with it, those are the rules.”

Matthias looked towards Mike for some sort of way out of all this. “She has a point man.”

“You’ve got to be kidding me.” Matthias said running a hand through his hair. He let out a final sigh of defeat before finally saying “Fine”.

Mike lay lazily in his bed staring up at the ceiling. It had been a little over an hour since everyone had left his room leaving him alone once again in his empty room. Even after the second day he hadn’t met the individual staying with him in his room, even though it had its stuff there which included several books on the shelf’s and posters hanging on the walls which had several pony celebrities on their face. He let out a sigh closing his eyes and trying to fall asleep.

Suddenly a knock came from his door followed by the mint green shape of Lyra walking inside. “Hey Mike, are you up?” she asked coming up to the bed.

“Yeah, I’m up Lyra.” Mike said sitting up and facing the unicorn. “Sorry I was just resting my eyes.”

“It’s fine.” She said with a smile as she hoped up and sat beside Mike. “So wild party tonight huh?”

“The wildest college party I’ve ever had. How did you enjoy yourself?” Mike joked rustling her mane.

“Personally, I found it to be quite tame compared to Pinkie’s other parties.” Lyra started. “But I had fun.”

“How’s Pinkie taking it?”

“Better after Rarity talked to her. I swear that pony over reacts to everything negative.”

“She seems like she be the one to do so.” Mike joked earning a laugh from Lyra.

The room fell silent as the two sat there for a moment, occasionally glancing at the other, Mike noticed a small blush on Lyra’s face every so often, and she would often glance up at him only to look away quickly.

“Something on your mind Lyra?” Mike asked earning a surprised squeak from the mare.

“N-Nothing wrong!” she said.

Mike raised his brow. “You know you can talk to me about anything right?”

Lyra didn’t say anything at first only started messing with her hooves shifting them back and forth nervously. Slowly she took a final breath before looking up at mike. “Can I ask you something Mike?”

“Sure go ahead.”

“How do you feel about cross species relationships?”

Mike let out a long sigh looking up at the ceiling. Only earlier today he was talking to Matthias about it, and he was obviously against it. However as the day had went on and he saw many ponies talking with humans and even some getting close, he was starting to look at it differently; perhaps a relationship with a pony wasn’t the worst possible thing ever.

“Sorry if I made this awkward.” Lyra stated

“Oh no your fine.” Mike stated rubbing her mane again. “Personally Lyra, I’m still a little unsure about the whole thing, but in all honesty, I think I’m okay with it.”

“Do you think you could ever be in a relationship with a mare?”

Mike nodded. “I think that I could see myself with a pony, I mean they’re not all that different from human’s right?”

Lyra smiled as a small blush appeared on her face.

“Why do you ask, have I caught a mare’s attention?” Mike asked giving Lyra a small smile.

“Y-Yes actually she came up and talked to me tonight to see if you wanted to possibly become closer.” Lyra blush deepened.

“What is her name? That way I can go talk to her about it, maybe ask her out.”

“Oh, you don’t have to do that, it’s the mare’s job to approach the stallion.”

“What do you mean?”

Lyra looked at Mike a little confused before her features relaxed a bit. “Oh yeah, the gender roles are flipped here. Basically the mare is the dominate one in any relationship, the only thing the stallion has to decide is whether or not he wants more mares in order to start a herd.”

“Whoa, you lost me. Did you say a herd?”

Lyra laughed a little. “Wow things really are different here.” Lyra shifted where she sat to look at Mike more directly.

“Back in Equestria the number of mares outnumbers the number of stallions living there, if I had to guess I think it’s about seven mares for every one stallion.”

“Wow, must be hard to find a mate.”

“Not when you have a herd. When in a relationship with a mare, the stallion can decide to allow other mares into the relationship. Up to at least 6, but I’ve never heard of one going past that.”

“Geese, this is quite a bit to take in.” Mike stated running a hand trough his hair.

Lyra laughed hopping of Mike’s bed. “Don’t think about too hard big guy, you might hurt yourself.”

“I’ll try.” Mike stated. “By the way Lyra, how will I know when a mare is hitting on me?”

“Oh don’t worry, she’ll make it obvious.” Lyra stated with a wink before heading out the door leaving the very confused human alone to comp template what the mare had said.

Matthias sat uneasy on his bed watching as Twilight jotted down notes in her notebook. She would glance back once or twice, giving the occasional smile before returning to her notes.

“Okay Matthias, let’s start this easy, let me see your hands.” She said hopping off her chair and walking up to Matthias.

“Can’t we talk about this?” Matthias asked. This earned a cold glare from the purple unicorn. “Forget I said anything.”

Twilight nodded as she approached the human’s hand, the black journal floating beside her with a pencil not too far away. With one look she was instantly taking notes the pen going faster than Matthias could comprehend, and only stopping when she changed angles or asked Matthias to turn them over or bend a finger.

Twilight let out a sigh of satisfaction. “Alright the initial observation is done, do I have your permission to touch them?”

Matthias nodded.

She approached one hand and putting one of her hoofs in his open hand the other underneath to hold it steady. Admittedly Matthias had to admit that Twilights hoofs were softer than he expected but he didn’t say anything as she continued to examine his hand turning it over several times, and squeezing it between her hooves curiously examining each finger with the same amazement.

With another satisfied huff Twilight released Matthias’ hand happy with the results, not to mention that she got to hold his hand for a little bit.

“Is that all?” Matthias asked in disbelief.

“That’s all for tonight.” She confirmed. “Tomorrow I’m getting your arms.”

“That’s it? No bone counting or midnight feel-ups?”

“Not unless you want them.” Twilight joked looking back and winking at the human. “Besides, I already counted the bones in your hand; I’m a pretty good multi-tasker when I want to be.”

“Well alright then.” Matthias stated leaning back and placing his head on the pillow.

The two sat in silence for a while as Twilight touched up a few things around her desk preparing for her classes tomorrow occasionally glancing over at Matthias who was playing on his phone. For whatever reason, out of all the humans she had met so far, he was by far the most intriguing, but she couldn’t put her hoof on it as to why.

Closing her notebook Twilight walked over and hopped up into her bed tucking herself under the covers turning the light off on her side of the room with her magic. “Good night Matthias.”

“Night Twi.” Matthias stated turning off his phone and turning over burying his face in the pillow. However he couldn’t fall asleep, for whatever reason he found himself thinking back to the party, how he caught Twilight staring at him every so often, as well as Twilights little examination only minutes before. There was just something that seemed off with the purple unicorn that rubbed him the wrong way, like she was hiding something from him. Shrugging it off Matthias turned over with his back to Twilight and slowly drifted to sleep. Whatever Twilight was hiding, could wait until tomorrow.

Preporations For A Date

Mike walked into the room dropping his backpack onto the ground before face planting into the bed. It was a long day that day, not busy but long. Most of his classes had pony teachers, not to mention pony students. Not that he had a problem with pony students, in fact he kind of found them pretty cool; the stallions were pretty cool to hang around, and the mares weren’t at all completely bad to look at; one might argue that they were pretty cute.

Mike let out a small groan turning over and looking up at the ceiling looking back at today’s classes and all the work he was currently putting off. “Why is there even letters in math, no one cares about why Suzie has twenty apples in her car!” Mike complained to no one in particular.

“Because that’s the only place where stuff like that can happen.” A small voice came from the doorway. “Besides, it’s not like you’re terrible at math.”

Mike looked up and saw Lyra standing in the doorway leaning against the frame with an unmistakable grin on her face. “Hey Lyra, didn’t realize you were home.” He stated.

“I just got back.” She stated walking into the room and walking in front of Mike who had moved to sit on the edge of his unmade bed. “Sounds like you had an interesting day.”

“Oh it was a blast.” Mike stated with a chuckle earning a laugh from the mint green unicorn.

The two sat there in silence for a while before Lyra sat down on her haunches looking up at Mike, her eyes avoiding his and a small smile on her lips. “You okay there Lyra?” Mike asked.

“Yeah, I’m fine.” She began shifting her weight from one hoof to the other as a small blush appeared on her face. “Listen I talked to that mare again; you know the one who has a crush on you.”

“And?”

“She was wondering if she could take you out on a sort of date tonight.”

Mike sat back placing his arms behind him to look straight up at the ceiling. Part of him knew this mare was Lyra from the way she was asking but as to why she wanted to ask him out was beyond him. “I don’t know Lyra, do I even know this mare?” he asked pretending to be oblivious to her actions.

“Yeah, you know her.” She stated still trying to hide her un-easiness.

“What’s her name?” Mike stated giving the pony a small smirk.

“Um….” She began biting her lower lip trying to think of something earning a laugh from the human.

“If you’re afraid that I won’t go out with her because it’s you, you don’t have to worry about it. I’ll go out with you.” Mike stated.

“Y-You will!?” she stated now smiling.

“But you’ll have to enlighten me; I’m not used to being the one put on the spot like this.”

“That’s right, human’s do things differently don’t they?” Lyra stated.

“Yeah, still not used to the whole reverse gender thing.” Mike stated rubbing the back of neck. “What exactly do I have to do?”

“Well what do human females do?”

“Dress up pretty, not pay for the meal, act seductive and then leave you wanting more?”

“So pretty much what a stallion does except for the whole seductive bit?”

“What you don’t think I’m seductive?” Mike joked earning a laugh from the pony.

“Well, as sexy as you think you already are, you should wear something nice tonight; I’m taking you out.” Lyra stated walking out of the room with a small grin.

“Sounds like a plan.” Mike stated giving her a smile, unable to contain his enthusiasm watching the mint green unicorn exit the room. Reaching into his bag Mike removed one his books and slowly began to work on the homework that had been piling up over the past few days still smiling as he imagined what tonight’s had in store for him.

“You have got to be fucking kidding me” Matthias yelled practically throwing his controller onto the table looking on as he watched the final kill cam play on the TV watching as he died in slow-motion due to some lucky shot made by his opponent.

“And that my friend is why you never challenge me at video games.” Rainbow Dash claimed triumphantly getting up and placing her controller next to Matthias’ “Care to play again or is losing four times in a row enough for you today?”Leaning back his head Matthias let out a complaining groan as he rubbed his temples. “I’ll take that as a no.” she said with a giggle. “Good game either way.”

“Yeah, Yeah” Matthias deadpanned leaning up and picking his remote up again.

Over the past few days Rainbow and Matthias had grown considerably closer; in fact he had gotten to know most of his roommates a little more. If he wasn’t gaming with Rainbow Dash or studying with Twilight he spent most of his time listening to music with Vinyl, or going out and running with AJ in the evenings. The only exception had been Fluttershy who had been relatively solitary ever since she moved in only coming in to see him whenever Twilight was doing an examination on him (Which was now only once a week after she began looking at things that required him to take of clothing.)

Even though the whole cross species relationship didn’t bother him as much as it used to, granted while he still wouldn’t be caught dead dating a pony just yet he had no problems being friends with them. Granted the whole cuddling and nuzzling that they would do still creped him out from time to time but it was often nice to just sit down on the couch with one of his roommates as they put their head in his lap allowing him to pet their silky smooth manes at they watched whatever was on the TV, in truth it was oddly relaxing to him.

Suddenly a knock came from the door before it suddenly opened and Mike slowly walked in buttoning up the cuffs on his red long sleeved shirt definitely looking more dressed up than usual. “Hey guys, what’s up?” he asked.

“What’s with the get-up?” Rainbow asked.

“Going on a date tonight, wanted to get a second opinion.”

“Really, who is he?” Matthias asked. “Do I know him?”

Mike shot Matthias a look before Matthias burst into laughter getting up from the sofa and walking into the kitchen. “Actually I wanted a mare’s opinion.” Mike stated. “Rainbow, what do you think good enough for a date?” Mike stated turning around in a small circle for her to contemplate.

“Wait you’ve got a date with a pony?” Matthias asked.

“Heh, yeah, it’s tonight. I wanted to get an opinion on what to wear but Rarity is out, so this was the next best option.” Mike stated rubbing the back of his head. “I’m still not used to being the girl in the situation.”

“Well what you’re wearing is fine, but if you’re trying to really impress her, wear something that matches her coat.” Rainbow instructed. “Also pay attention to what she pays attention to; odds are she’s going to be trying to read your body language to see how you react to things. Oh, and remember this is to figure out if YOU want to court her so she will probably ask you upfront if you want to be her colt friend. Oh and let her pay for whatever, mare’s take it as a sort of lack of interest if you pay for them.”

“Thanks Dash, I really appreciate it.” Mike said. “What about you Matthias, any advice from the only real girl in the room?”

“Put it in a wrapper before you attack her.” Matthias stated earning a small laugh from Rainbow Dash.

“Huh, I was expecting a vagina joke somewhere in there.” Mike stated.

“Eh, I’m done telling vagina jokes, period.” Matthias said retrieving a can of mountain dew from the fridge. “Besides, I wouldn’t know the first thing about going on dates, I haven’t been on one to know what’s right or wrong, just go get em’ tiger.”

“Well, you’re just a ray of sunshine and helpfulness aren’t you?” Mike said. “Either way, thanks again for the advice guys. I’m going to get changed before she comes.”

“Wait!” Rainbow called from the couch having picked up her controller again. “Who is taking you?”

“Lyra.” Mike stated closing the door as he left the room.

The room fell silent as Matthias starred at the now closed door his friend just exited. “So you’ve never been on a date?” Rainbow asked in disbelief.

“No not really, I wasn’t what you call the most popular kid in high school.” Matthias stated taking a sip of his soda.

“So are you still a virgin?” she asked with a smirk.

“There is a lot of sex talk going on right now isn’t there?”

“You aren’t answering my question.”

“I never said I would.”

“So you’re still a virgin?” she asked getting up off of the couch and began walking over to him.

“I never said that.”

“Well are you or aren’t you.”

“I plead the fifth.” He argued as Rainbow blocked his path

“You know I don’t know your human laws.” She began stepping forward making Matthias back up nervously a small blush was on his cheeks that she could clearly see. “C’mon just tell me.”

“Well you see…” Matthias began trying to find a way out of the situation he found himself in looking from left to right as Rainbow literally backed him into a wall and still approached a small evil looking grin was on her face. Suddenly she got close enough to get back on her back hooves where she was now eye level with the human.

“You know, I could change that.” Rainbow stated leaning closer to Matthias’ face stopping just before their lips met. “You know I don’t mind being the dominant one.”

Matthias could feel her breath on his lips, and as much as his mind told him to “hit the bitch and run”, for some reason he couldn’t bring himself to do it, instead he just closed his eyes and awaited his fate.

Suddenly Rainbow began laughing hysterically as tears began to form from her eyes making Matthias open his eyes to look at her again as she walked back to the sofa. “What the actual fuck Rainbow?” Matthias practically yelled, his cheeks still carrying the hint of his blush.

“What, did you actually want me to take advantage of you?” Rainbow asked with a snicker. “I thought you were still iffy on the whole human pony thing but if you’re okay with it now…”

“I’d sooner stick my hand in a beehive.” Matthias retorted looking away from Dash as he went towards his room where he shut the door leaving the cyan mare alone in the room with the Xbox still on.

“So I take it that you don’t want another rematch then?”

Mike looked himself over in the mirror yet another time. For whatever reason he wanted to look his best for Lyra, although he couldn’t put his finger on it, there was just something about her that appealed to him. Be it her friendly disposition or her happy go lucky attitude, he couldn’t quite pick just one thing he liked about her, he liked every aspect, and not once did the fact that she was a pony ever really bother him. What bothered him most was being in the woman’s shoes; when it came to dates he was always the one that would pay and treat the women like a princess for the short time they were together. Would he have to let her hold the door for him, let her pull his chair out, and when it came to pay how would she deny him the ability to pay? It was all so unusual to him.

Having changed his shirt to match Lyra’s coat he had to admit, he did look sharp, even though green wasn’t exactly his color. Buttoning the last button on his sleeve he stepped out of his bathroom and looked over to the absent bed that was in his room, it was funny, for whatever reason his elusive roommate had avoided all contact with him, at first it was almost nice to have someone in the room who kept their side clean and orderly, but as time went by and the side practically went untouched looking the same each morning it got a little creepy.

“Hey, looking good, a small voice came from behind Mike. Turning around Mike recognized the gray crossed mare that stood in the doorway smiling at him managing to look extremely cute with her eyes facing two different ways.

“Thanks Ditzy.” Mike smiled as he felt himself blush a little.

“Nervous about tonight?” she asked walking up to him to get a better look at what he was wearing admiring his features that were hidden under his clothes.

“Honestly, yeah.” He admitted scratching the back of his neck.

“Well if it’s any help you look great.” Ditzy said with a small little wink.

“Thanks Ditzy.” Mike blushed as he sat down on the bed. “I guess I’m still just so used to being the one who takes care of everything you know? I’m worried I might mess something up and make Lyra hate me.”

“I doubt that you’re going to make Lyra hate you on your first date, she was way too excited that you said yes today she could barely focus on the homework that’s due tomorrow. “She likes you.”

“Yeah well, honestly the more I think about it, I’m finding I like her too.” Mike admitted.

“Well that’s good, you guys already seem like you’re going to make a great couple, and looking like that you’re bound to get a few glances from a few single mares looking to join a herd.” Ditzy stated.

“Yeah well that’s another thing I’m still not too sure about….” Mike stated. “…Among other things.”

“Well hopefully Lyra will put your mind at ease about that.” Suddenly a knock came from the doorway. “Speak of the devil…”

Walking to the door Ditzy opened up the door to see the eagerly waiting mint green mare now dressed in a tight black dress that hugged her body perfectly showing off her feminine curves rather well traveling to her flank where it split to reveal part of her lyre cutie mark.

“Hey Ditzy, what are you doing in Mikes room?” Lyra asked.

“Checking the big guy over and wishing him luck.” Ditzy stated. “Mike, your mare awaits.”

Taking a final breath Mike stood up and walked into view of the door looking at Lyra for the first time who stared at him with the same kind of surprised look Mike had. Both were speechless as they looked each other over looking over every little detail their clothing offered, admiring what they saw and wondering about what they didn’t. Sure Mike had seen Lyra without clothes before but now seeing her in that tight little dress made him blush profusely.

“So um….” Mike stated unable to find his words. “We have a date tonight.” Smooth Casanova

“Heh…Yeah, are you ready?”

“As ill ever be.” Mike stated as he walked out the door following Lyra as she led him out into the night, walking side by side their sides touched.

Although Mike was nervous he was ready to tackle this as best he could. He liked Lyra, and he was going to do whatever he could to make her happy, and even now, just being with her made any worries he had vanish, he was going to let whatever happened tonight happen, as long as he was with Lyra, he was happy.

Dares And Dates

Matthias sat lazily in his room clicking away on his computer as his music played over the speakers nearby. His homework was long since finished, and now the only thing that demanded his time was a kid in Kentucky who claimed to be better than him at Call of Duty, and had apparently had fucked his mother the previous night. True, he could have just as easily gone and played with Rainbow Dash in the other room, but then he ran the risk of continuing to lose to the rainbow-maned pony that was obviously cheating.

Upon finishing his match, he set the controller down and stretched his arms over his head, contemplating on how he was going to spend yet another weekend of his time, and while he enjoyed playing video games with a cheating Pegasus, that enjoyment would only last so long before he was bored with that too. Suddenly, a knock came from the closed door behind him, making him turn to see the familiar form of Twilight in the doorway.

“Hey Matt, how are you?” she asked coming in and walking over to her side of the room, retrieving a small book from her night stand. “Enjoying your Friday as usual?”

“About as much as I can these days,” He joked. “What are you up to?”

“You know, brushing up on history,” She said walking over and plopping her saddle bags on her bed removing a large brown book before plopping down on the mattress returning to the spot in her book she had left off.

“Where are you in our marvelous history?”

“About to begin the second world war,” She stated, not taking her eyes off the page, “Is there any reason in particular why you humans are so violent?”

“Eh, personally I blame our ancestors and the need to prove their cocks were much bigger than everyone else’s in the world. By the way has Hitler invaded Poland yet?”

“Wait, that happens? Don’t say another word, I want to read this for myself!” She said, her eyes now flying across the pages.

Matthias smiled to himself realizing the kind of power he now had over the bookworm at the moment (even if it was basic knowledge he remembered from high school). “That was a great chapter, but I’m going to warn you -- the holocaust gets pretty dark.”

“Stop spoiling history! I want to find this out for myself,” She said almost yelling covering her ears with her hooves.

“Alright, I won’t mention the Russians taking Berlin.” Suddenly, Matthias felt himself surrounded by an all too familiar pink aura and the room around him dissipated before he suddenly found himself just outside his room, the door slamming behind him. “Spoiler alert: Hitler kills himself!” he yelled through the door for good measure.

Mike scratched his arms uneasily as he approached the campus restaurant with Lyra walking beside him; a small smile decorated her face. “Nervous?” She asked looking up towards the human.

“Can I be honest?” Mike said. “A little bit.”

Lyra chuckled. “Hey don’t worry big guy, I promise I won’t bite until you give me permission.” Mike laughed matching her caring gaze with one of his own.

“So what’s on the agenda for tonight, if I may ask?”

“Well I was thinking we would be able to eat a nice dinner and then maybe go out and look at the stars. If that’s okay with you of course.”

“Sounds perfect to me.”

A green aura appeared over the door handle and Mike found himself ushered in by the mint green unicorn. Lyra approached the stand where a brown mare stood behind the host’s stand talking to a human leaned over to meet her at eye level and dressed in the traditional waiter gear staring into his eyes with an unmistakable smile decorating both their faces. The mare looked towards the new patrons before she leaned in towards the human and lightly pecked his cheek before the two of them returned to working. Mike couldn’t help but look at the restaurant’s other patrons; consisting of many other couples some human, some ponies, and even some cross-species.

“Hello, welcome to Felicia’s Temptations, do you have reservations?” The mare asked.

“I’m going to take a shot in the dark here and say you’re courting that human right?” Lyra stated with a raised eye brow.

“Yeah, for about two weeks now.” She admitted. “You aren’t one of those traditionalists who hate cross species relationships are you?”

Lyra chuckled as she gestured to the human behind her. “I’m trying to get with tall dark and handsome back there so I’m all for you.”

“Thanks, you wouldn’t believe how much ridicule we get from some of the other students. I didn’t catch your name.”

“Lyra Heartstrings and the human who looks like someone’s distracting him with a laser pointer is Mike.”

Hearing his name Mike looked back to the two mares talking before he waved slightly. “Hey.” He greeted with a small wave making his date laugh.

The brown mare looked to the screen in front of her tracing down the names as her eyes squinted to better look at the small names. “Jackson… Tankian…. Marley…. Ah here we go Heartstrings, party of two right?”

“That’s us!” Lyra smiled.

“Perfect! If you’ll follow me, I’ll take you to your table.” She stated, leading them further into the packed restaurant to the back where a table waited open and ready to be serviced. “Here is your seat, and your waiter will be with you shortly. Oh, and you guys are cute together, don’t let anyone ever tell you otherwise.” The mare grinned at the two before returning to the front of the restaurant.

“So, she seemed nice.” Mike stated, sitting down across from his date, picking up his menu and looking over the selections. Each item was marked with either a hand or horseshoe, depending on which dish appealed to the patron in mind.

As the two sat and enjoyed their meals, Mike couldn’t help but think back to what the hostess had said about cross species couples and how they were ridiculed for being different. He looked to his date who smiled happily as she caught him staring. How could anyone hate something that just seemed as normal as any other normal couple; I mean it wasn’t like he was going out with an un-sentient horse that ate grass and would neigh every so often without saying any other words. Surely they could see that… right?

“So wait, you’re tellin’ me he’s never been on a date Dash?” Applejack stated

“Nope.”

“Never been intimate with no pony.”

“Nu-uh.”

“Has he even ever kissed a mare?”

“Girl.” Dash corrected. “And as far as I know, no.”

Applejack leaned back against the couch taken aback at what Dash had just told her about their human roommate. “What do you think it is then?”

“Probably just too shy. I mean have you seen him interacting with a mare?”

“No.”

“Exactly! Probably too shy to even approach a girl from his own species, not to mention his face when I came onto him.”

“Y’mean when you acted like you were going to rape him.”

“Hey, Rainbow Dash always gets the stallion she wants.” She said with a wink.

“Didn’t get Matthias though, Miss Rapebow Dash.” Applejack stated with raised eyebrows.

“Are you saying I couldn’t?” Rainbow stated, raising her voice.

“I’m sayin’ that Twilight and Fluttershy have seen more’a that boy’s body than you have, and Twilight’s not exactly tryin’ to stay single, if you catch my drift.”

“Please, Twilight wouldn’t know romance if it came up and slapped her flank.”

“I dunno. Dash. Twilight may be a lot of things but if she puts her mind to it, that mare can do whatever she wants, includin’ getting the attention of a certain human she’s been examining.”

“Is she even interested in him?”

“She hasn’t exactly been hidin’ that blush during her examinations there sugar cube, if anything I think she’s falling for him without her even knowin’.”

“Are you saying she has a better chance than me?”

“Gettin’ a tad defensive Dash, you sayin’ you like Matthias a bit?”

Immediately Dash felt a blush on her cheeks to which she looked away to try and hide it. “Well he certainly isn’t the worst looking human on campus, not that I’ve been curious to see what they’re like.” Applejack let out a small laugh at this.

“Oh don’t tell me you haven’t wondered what equipment those humans are packing!”

“Well…” Applejack stated turning away to hide the blush now on her face.

“Yeah, I thought so, and don’t think I haven’t seen you looking at Matthias either. You aren’t that subtle, AJ.”

“You ain’t that subtle yourself Rainbow. I’ve seen how you’ve been peekin’ in on Twilights little examinations lately. See something you might like in there Dash?”

“You trying to suggest something!?”

“I say let’s make a bet. First to go on a date with Matthias wins, loser has to do anything the winner says for a day.”

“C’mon AJ kick it up a notch, first one to kiss him.”

“Fine, but it has to last longer than fifteen seconds.”

“Deal!” Dash stated bumping hooves with the orange earth pony.

“So tonight was… something.” Mike stated with a small laugh earning a small chuckle from the unicorn.

“Yeah but in all honesty I really enjoyed myself.”

“Yeah me too, even though the meat was undercooked.”

“And the entertainment was ‘lacking’.” Lyra added.

“That isn’t the term I’d use.”

“Okay, they sucked.” The two immediately began laughing as they scooted a little closer to each other.

From the time the two had entered the restaurant, the night hadn’t gone exactly as they had planned. From a terrible meal to a mediocre entertainer, this wasn’t the night that they had planned on. Admittedly the best part of the night had been the moment they were sharing now; laying in the grass close to each other as they looked up at the clear night sky, but one thing still bothered Lyra.

“So Mike, I have to ask, do you have any regrets about tonight?” she asked.

“Apart from three bathroom trips within the same hour?”

“You know what I mean. Are you okay with dating a pony?”

Mike scooted closer now touching the pony as he wrapped an arm around the mint green unicorn giving her a little hug as he did so. “I am, as long as you’re okay with dating a human.”

“But what about all the ridicule that cross-species couples have been getting? Aren’t you worried about all that?”

“Lyra, as long as you’re happy with me, they can say what they want. They won’t know what they’re missing.”

Lyra almost felt tears well up in her eyes as she leaned up and lightly kissed the human on the cheek. “Thanks Mike, you’re going to be a great colt friend.”

Mike instantly blushed, scooting over to wrap his arms around the green mare holding her close to his chest while she wrapped her hooves around the human nuzzling his chest as she placed her ear over his heart, listening to its beat before it lulled her to sleep.

A New Challenger Appears

“So wait, you’re telling me that Twilight basically asked to see your…” Mike stated starring at his friend with wide eyes.

“Pecker, cock, one eyed acid spewing lizard, take your pick.” Matthias stated taking a swig of his Mountain Dew.

“Regardless I think I might have to issue one of my ultimatums.”

“You mean one of your famous ultimatums?”

“It may just live to be revered my friend.”

“You’re going to sleep on the couch aren’t you?” Mike deadpanned.

“Do you have a better idea?”

“I don’t know, no cock privileges?” Mike shrugged. “How this discussion got to us talking about your cock I have no idea but can we please change the subject?”

Matthias nodded. “I was actually wondering how your date with Lyra went.”

“Dinner sucked but afterwards went well, and before you ask, no we did not to the horizontal monster mash.”

“Wasn’t even going to, you know how I feel about being intimate with ponies.”

“Is it the hooves?”

“I honestly don’t know, given some time I’d probably adjust but I doubt any mare would want me as a boyfriend.”

“You don’t think too highly of yourself do you?”

“Remember when I said I’ve never been on a date before?”

“Yeah, was no girl interested?”

“I honestly have no idea.” Matthias stated laying his head in his arms before he let out a final sigh. “In all honesty if a mare wants to get with me, then props to her, but I think at this point I pretty much decided to stay single all my life.”

Mike walked back into his room placing his room key onto the table as laid down on his couch turning on the TV as he placed his arm over his eyes to block out the light coming in from the nearby window. Letting out a long sigh as he rubbed his temples thinking about just what Matthias had said, in a way he felt bad for his friend but at the same time what could he do? It wasn’t like he could force love on him or even set him up with some random mare, odds are that wouldn’t go ever so well.

“I know that sigh.” A voice said from behind. “Something on your mind?”

Recognizing his mare friends voice Mike smiled as he looked up and saw the mint green form of Lyra slowly approaching.

“Matthias is having woman issues.”

“I’m surprised you care this much.” She joked hopping up on to the couch and resting her head on her colt friend’s chest. “You’re not turning into a mare yourself are you?”

Mike chuckled running a hand through her mane. “No, just worried about him. I mean he’s pretty much the only guy friend I have here. I don’t mind being a crying rag but if this is going to keep going on I might have to change my major so I can be a psychiatrist.”

“What about if you set him up with a mare?”

“Matthias is just getting over the whole interspecies thing, I don’t know if shoving a mare in his face saying ‘here is a mare, proceed to romance her’ is such a good idea.”

“Well you could always go to the town bar, if you’re looking for single mares that would definitely be the best place to go.”

“Liquor and pussy, the best combination for the lonely man.” Mike joked earning a chuckle from the unicorn.

“So I take it you’ll be home late tonight then?”

“I’ll be back before midnight but for right now I think I’ll just stay here for a while if that’s okay with you.”

“You’re suggesting I’m not comfortable with cuddling with my colt friend?” she fake scoffed. “The absolute nerve!”

Mike chuckled running a hand down her back earning a sigh from Lyra as she nuzzled into his neck.

“So wait, you’re telling me she’s been modding the whole time!?” Matthias yelled to the white unicorn who merely nodded. “Why didn’t anyone tell me she’s been kicking my ass at Call of Duty by cheating?”

“I honestly thought you knew, you’re telling me you actually thought she was playing fair at video games? Why do you think she’s so overprotective of that controller?” Vinyl stated as the human stood there with his mouth wide open and his eyes bug-eyed making her giggle.

“So what your saying is that little miss braggart is a cheater?”

“Only in video games but yeah that’s the jidst of it.” Vinyl stated taking off her headphones. “So remind me again why you’re camping out in my room for the moment, not that I mind a ever mind when a stallion is in my room but I tend to think better when I’m alone.”

“Twilight scares me.”

“She’s reached the last bit of her examination I’m guessing?”

“You heard about that?”

“More or less guessed, it was bound to happen eventually and since you’re this worked up about it I just assumed…”

“She was talking about little Matti? Then you would be correct.”

“So you admit its little then.” She quipped with a smirk earning an annoyed glare from Matthias as he leaned against her desk. “Okay fair enough your welcome to camp here as long as you want but I’m going to put you to work as long as you’re here.”

“What do you need?”

Using her magic Vinyl picked up the red headphones off of the desk and levitated them in front of Matthias’ face gesturing him to put them on.

“An opinion, tell me what you think.”

“I honestly don’t know the first thing about Dub step Vinyl.”

“Great, I need an ignorant persons take on it. No offense of course.”

“None taken.” He said placing her trademark headphones over his head looking to her to play her music making him go wide eyed as the music suddenly blared through the headset taking Matthias by surprise and drowning out any other possibility for noise in the room.

Vinyl watched his face as he listened to her music watching as his brows would furrow every so often his head bobbing along with the music as the song went on and a hint of a smile worked its way onto his face. In all honesty she knew more than just Twilights examination was a heavy topic in their room, due to a certain loud mouth Pegasus currently rooming with her she had overheard about a certain bet made with the cowpony. While she hadn’t really thought of Matthias like that at first the idea of kissing him had played in her mind several times which honestly made her curious; what else could humans do for the mare. Granted she could probably sway her hips and get any human she wanted but it was considered a rarity to have a stallion around Matthias’ age still be a virgin; it was almost a contest within itself to see who could pluck their cherry first among mares. Now while Vinyl would never say anything to Rainbow and Applejack, Matthias’ lips were on her list and all she lacked was getting Rainbow or AJ to witness her doing it. Hell she’d do it without any reason if they were there now, but she was a mare of honor and was going to play by their rules, for now at least.

Suddenly the door opened and as if on cue Rainbow Dash walked in, her eyes immediately falling on Matthias as she walked in who was oblivious to her presence.

“Hey Matti.” She greeted but the human remained clueless to her.

“Matti!” She raised her voice. “The headphones are on aren’t they?”

Vinyl nodded. “Keep talking though I’m sure he’ll hear you eventually.”

“Ha, ha.” Rainbow deadpanned placing her backpack on her bed before turning to Matthias with a sudden evil smirk on her face.”

“That can’t be good.” Vinyl thought.

Walking over she lifted one side of the headphones off of Matthias’ ear making him jump a little and turn to face her suddenly.

“Jesus Rainbow a bit of a warning next time.”

“In my defense, I did say ‘Hi’ to you but you didn’t hear me.”

“Alright, so what’s up?”

“You, me Call of Duty, up to get your flank kicked?”

Matthias matched her evil glare getting eye level with her. “My rules, my map choice.”

“Fine I’d love to beat you on what you’d consider home turf, and when you lose your going to do something for me.”

“I KNEW IT.” Vinyl almost screamed biting her tongue to prevent herself from saying anything.

“And what would that be?”

“That’s for later bud, for now it’s you, me and my MP7.”

“Fair enough.” Matthias stated getting up from his seat and handing the headphones to vinyl before exiting her room and sitting himself on the faux leather black sofa.

Rainbow trotted into the room carrying her signature controller from her room in her mouth, a smug look on her face. “Oh Rainbow, by the way were using new controllers.”

“What, why!?” she said.

“My rules, now here’s your controller milady.” He quipped holding one of the black Xbox controllers out for her which she took with a lot less confidence than before. “What’s wrong Rainbow; your controller is exactly the same as this one isn’t it? Winning should be a breeze.”

“Y-Yeah, bring it on Matti-cakes.” She said turning on her controller and watching Matthias set up the game.

Stepping into the room Vinyl smiled as she watched Matthias pick out his map, one which would apply to both the assault rifle and sniper he carried in his class. “Alright Rainbow first to 25 on Terminal, you ready to admit defeat now or do you still want to go through with this?”

“Shut your mouth Matt-cakes, you’re as good as mine.”

The game started out definitely in favor of Matthias, since Rainbow had been so used her rapid fire controller she couldn’t condensate for the difference of fire rates and attempt to meet Matthias head on where her gun excelled but whatever reason his assault rifle had prevented her from even remotely getting close not to mention his sniper would pick her off almost at pure random.

Rainbow huffed as the match ended placing her controller onto the table as Matthias sat back and savored each moment of the final kill cam. “And that my dear is the way the game is played.” He stated getting up and walking to the fridge and taking out a mountain dew before returning to his seat right beside Rainbow offering a swig which she huffed off.

Vinyl encased the can in her magic removing it from Matthias grip before bringing the rim to her lips taking a sip of the green liquid inside. “Well Mr. Undisputed champion, what next?”

Twilight fiddled with the pen in her mouth looking over the sketch of her human roommate, drawn with precision to match Matthias’ proportions. Measurements accurate, symmetry just right, and yet of course she knew the one thing that was missing…..

She had talked to him about it that morning but after a perfusions amount of blushing the only thing she could get out of the human was a blank stare as he left the room rather quickly. She didn’t want to insult the human; she just wanted to do it for science… and for her own curiosity.

She wasn’t naive she knew how foals were made, just as she knew the parts to make them. After countless lonely nights and several different descriptions from countless books the only thing she lacked was actually seeing one. It wasn’t like she didn’t want a stallion to court her and romance her but all the stallions were just after her title as Celestias pupil, she wanted her first time to be special not something she would soon regret later on.

Looking down at her sketch again she placed her head against the table sighing deeply just as the door opened from behind. Turning ever so slightly she saw Matthias enter the room looking back as he spoke to whoever was occupying the living room.

“Well I’m going to get some shut eye for a bit. Odds are Mike will want to go out later, you’re welcome to tag along if you want.”

“Is Rainbow or AJ going?” Vinyl’s voice asked.

“Yeah probably.”

“Then I might just tag along.”

Matthias giggled as he closed the door looking to Twilight as he lay on his bed. The room was silent and neither of the two looked at each other. Twilight would occasionally glance his way only to find him suddenly turn to face the ceiling.

“So…” Matthias finally spoke first. “How has your day been?”

“Good.” Twilight responded. “And yours?”

“Can’t complain.” The room fell silent again for another brief moment before Matthias straightened his throat. “So listen about this morning.”

“No, it was wrong of me to try and get you to show me something more personal.”

“Its fine Twilight, if it’s all the same to you I’d like to take a break from the examinations.”

“Yeah that’s understandable. In fact you don’t have to do this anymore if you don’t want to.”

Matthias sighed getting up and sitting on the edge of his bed bringing a hand up to his forehead. “Listen, I know I’m going to regret saying this but… I’ll let you finish it up on one condition. We will do it on a day of my choosing and I can back out if I want to.”

Twilight turned in her chair to look at Matthias who refused to look at the lavender mare an unmistakable hint of read on his cheeks.

“Do we have a deal?” Matthias said still refusing to look at her.

“Deal.”

Hell Aproaches (Heat Season Part 1)

The dorm room was surprisingly quiet for a Friday morning as Matthias entered through the door. The week had been exhausting due to several tests and assignments that he had neglected by mistake, and the late nights keeping up with homework had been taxing on him. Letting out a yawn he stepped towards the fridge where he pulled out a mountain dew from one of the shelves taking a long swig from the top as he closed the fridge.

Normally on days like this he would find Rainbow on the Xbox or at the bare minimum Twilight on the couch with her face buried in a book, but today it seemed as though he was the only one in the dorm room. Sitting down on the sofa he turned on the TV and placed his feet up on the table letting out a long sigh as he finally began to put this bizarre week behind him.

It all had begun when Mike had taken him to the towns local bar the previous week. At first the experience was in a word “different”. Had he known every drunken mare would be trying to get into his pants, he would have at least ordered something a little less alcoholic so beer goggles wouldn’t have clouded his judgment. Luckily he managed to escape with several blushes and “accidental” gropes by the mares that danced around him, all in all his virginity lived to see another day.

However things seemed to become topsy-turvey then after, and mares everywhere seemed to have been looking at him with an almost predatory smile, and that wasn’t counting all the innuendos and sultry actions Rainbow and Applejack were now giving him. At first it was innocent, a simple hug or cheek nuzzles, but it soon escalated and the innocent gestures seemed to evolve into what one could easily classify as R rated.

Like one time Rainbow had been eating an ice cream cone, licking it innocently enough before her eyes met his. Her eyes had half-lidded as she began to lick her ice cream much slower, her tongue swirling all around as she moaned, not one did her gaze ever leave Matthias’. It took a thirty minute cold shower to help him get that out of his head, but he could never see ice cream cones the same way.

Applejack was by far the more forceful of the two though. It seemed that every time he had sat down she absolutely had to be touching him in some way, be it a tail draped over his leg or even going as far to lay down in bed with him whenever he came back after class to rest, there was just no escaping either of them. At least the others were in a way subtle in their approach, and not trying to get them into the other room to do “The horizontal monster mash”. Granted their unrelenting gaze was a little unsettling, but at least is wasn’t ruining dairy products, or invading his personal bubble, if they wanted to look, then who was he to stop them. He just wished they would leave him alone when he was in the shower.

A sudden knock broke the silence of the room as the door slowly opened. “Hey Matt, just get back?” Mikes familiar voice came from the doorway.

“Yeah, come on in. There’s soda in the fridge if you’re interested.”

Mike nodded stepping inside and immediately grabbing a soda from the fridge and sitting down on the chair to the left of the couch. “So where is everyone?” Matthias shrugged finishing off the last of his soda. “Did they leave for the fall holiday?”

“Fall holiday?”

“Yeah for the next two weeks we have no classes; didn’t you read about it on the school bulletin board?” Mike stated.

“There’s a school bulletin board?”

“Yeah Lyra told me about it, apparently these next two weeks are going to be a sort of vacation for all the students, that’s why so many of them are leaving.” Mike stated. “Kind of weird that the only ones I’ve seen leaving are guys though.”

“Well no skin off my back, gives me more time to play Xbox and sleep in, and if the girls are gone then it’s just icing on the cake.”

“True but don’t you get the feeling there something… I don’t know a little dark going on?”

ELSEWHERE ON CAMPUS

The room was dark illuminated only by a small candle which was in the center. “Bravo team, how many papers did you retrieve?” a mare asked.

“All of them, ma’am, as far as anyone there knows, it’s just a long vacation.”

“Excellent.” The first mare stated. “Gold team how was sabotaging the gate locks?”

“Come tomorrow, no one is getting in or out of the campus, we also took the liberty to unlock the cafeteria storage and assign guards to catch any that weren’t supplied enough before this started. Those males are as good as ours isn’t that right girls?”

“Gold team rules!” one of the mares shouted from the back while the rest merely chuckled.

“Then it looks like we’re all set, I want Pegasus in the air at all times to catch any un suspecting victims below, any male caught is to be shared am I understood?”

“Yes ma’am!”

“Excellent, come tomorrow, heat season begins.”

One “Tomorrow” Later.

Matthias awoke as a sudden scream erupted from outside his window. Wiping his eyes he leaned up and pulled back the curtains ever so slightly to see if he could identify the scream. The sight before him was something almost out of a nightmare, all around the courtyard there were mares everywhere all in pursuit of a male, be it stallion or human, all were rushing to try and escape the hell that was behind them. Matthias watched in terror as one of the males was suddenly scooped up from the ground by several Pegasai and flown off to God only knows.

Matthias backed off from the window before he suddenly fell off the edge of the bed and onto the floor, not wasting any time before he rushed out into the living room and out his front door knocking as fast as he could on Mike’s door.

“Mike Mike Mike Mike Mike Mike Mike Mike Mike!!!” He yelled as he continued to knock. There was no answer even after the five minutes of consistent knocking. A sudden chill fell over Matthias as he heard a door in the distance close. He froze in fear as he slowly turned to look down the length of the hallway which had almost seemed to become darker. Standing at the far end stood a single mare, an earth pony by the looks of it with a slightly lighter blue mane and yellow eyes which almost seemed to cut through the dark room. Her eyes fell on Matthias and as quickly as she appeared she was running full speed at him a hungry look on her face which chilled Matthias’ bones.

Wasting no time Matthias turned the opposite direction and took off down the hallway cursing to himself as he heard the pony getting closer and closer. “Wait come back, I just want to rut you!” she yelled. Rounding the corner Matthias ran out of the exit door as he flew down the stairs and continuing on down the hallway of the first floor as fast as his legs could carry him. “C’mon baby, why you got to play hard to rape?!” He heard the mare call again.

He had to think, there was no way he could be caught by this mare, he had to get away from her, but how? Outside was out of the question, and trying one of the rooms would only slow his progress and give her time to catch up with him. No he had to outrun her, and try to double back and try to back into his room and lock the door, however outrunning an earth pony who was obviously faster than him was going to be a challenge within itself, He was no track runner and fatigue was quickly catching up with him, as his legs seemed to be getting heavier.

Bursting through the door he found himself in the lobby, the sound of screaming just outside the main doors refueling his energy as he made his way to try to go up the stairs again. Only this time he found another mare joining in on the chase, this one a red Pegasus with an all white mane. She moved quickly and headed him off landing on top of the stairs making him stop right in the middle the blue earth pony stopping at the bottom to trap him in between them.

“Now girls.” Matthias said as he shook nervously. “Surely we can work something out, like mature adults.”

“Mmhm I think so too, you’re going to come quietly, be a nice little boy and buck the living daylights out of me and my friend here.” The red mare stated taking a step forward, her friend at the bottom doing the same.

Matthias eyes widened as he saw his demise approaching quickly.

“Well virginity you’ve had a good run.”

The two took another slow step, licking their lips as Matthias backed up against the railing. Eying the floor beneath him he noticed the blue mare chuckling.

“What do you think brain, think we can make it?”

*The number you have dialed has been disconnected or-

“Fine I didn’t need your help anyway.”

Acting quickly Matthias vaulted over the side of the railing landing on the marble floor with a powerful thud, his legs screaming out in pain as he was off down the hallway again, this time with two mares on his tail.

“Shimmer, head him off up there!” The blue mare called taking after Matthias down the hallway as her counterpart took the upstairs hallway in attempt to trap him in between him. This was it, it was only a matter of time now before on would catch him and that would be the end.

Suddenly one of the hallway doors opened and a pair of white hooves came out and grabbed onto the boy’s neck taking him off his feet and into the new mysterious room, however, as soon as his body hit the floor, a large metallic clang echoed throughout the room as his vision suddenly began to fade, the door shutting behind him. The last thing he saw before losing consciousness, was a pair of stallions leaned against the door with a look of relief on their faces.

Hell Approaches (Heat Season Part 2)

The room was hazy as Matthias finally opened his eyes to the world around him. A distinct ache made itself known at the back of his skull throbbing and sending waves of pain throughout his head. Clenching his eyes he groaned as he began to lean up, from his laying position, which confusingly enough was on a couch similar to the one he had in his room. In the other room he could hear two distinct male voices whispering to each other, and though he couldn’t make out what they were saying their tone was heavily laced with panic.

Examining himself he thankfully found his clothes still on his body and no cock crazy mares in sight. So while the pain was nothing short of excruciating he decided to mark it as a victory in his book. Looking around the room he found several objects of interest, decorating the walls and floors. The smell alone was musky, no doubt a guys room… or in this case a stallions, and if the smell wasn’t enough the posters on the walls and the guitar leaned up against the bed post was enough to really cement the rooms occupants. “How can a pony even play a guitar?” Matthias mused.

“It helps if you have magic.” A voice said from the doorway making the human jump in surprise to look at the stallion in the doorway. He was a unicorn, dark blue in color with a black mane, a pair of silver glasses rested on the bridge of his nose revealing his blue eyes which stared at him with a raised brow.

Letting out a pained groan Matthias sat up on the edge of his bed, his hand traveling to the back of his head to try and ease what pain he could. “You didn’t happen to get the number of the truck that hit me did you?” “Not unless you count the frying pan but I don’t think that has a number you can report to someone.” The stallion chuckled walking into the room and in front of the human. “Sorry about that by the way.”

“Since you saved me from ‘horny McWantsTheCock’ I’ll let it slide this time.” Matthias stated getting up from the bed. “Where am I?”

“My room, you’ve been out for a good two hours. You’re lucky you were fast or you’d probably be in a different room rutting mares senseless.” The stallion stated. “I’m Pitch by the way, Perfect Pitch, and my roommate over there is Endless Rain, guess you didn’t get the memo to leave campus?”

“I received a note yes, not sure if that exactly what is said but…”

“You ignored it didn’t you?”

“Ignored is such a strong word, I prefer the phrase “Putting off until a later date.”

“Well you put it off a day too late, the campus is surrounded by mares, and there is no way to get out until next week is up.” Pitch said as he walked over to the window to peak out of the curtains at the carnage outside. “And that’s the good news.”

“Damn, what’s the bad news?”

“The bad news is that we only have enough supplies to last the two of us for about four days, and with you here that’s dwindled to about two” The white stallion stated

Feeling slightly ashamed Matthias looked down towards the floor. “My bad”.

“Hey don’t worry about it, us stallions have to stick together, even if one walks on two legs and can’t fly or do magic.” Pitch stated. “Besides, we couldn’t just let you fall mercy to those mares, wouldn’t be morally right.”

“Speaking of which, why are you guys still here? I’m guessing you actually read the memo.”

“We did.” Rain the white stallion stated “We were planning on heading out this morning but the mares beat us to the punch, barely got out of there before they bombarded us from everywhere.”

“And the school is just okay with this?”

“Well… you did sign a release form at the beginning of the semester, so technically their not responsible for any physical abuse that comes to you during the mare’s heat cycle.”

“Those cheeky dick waffles.” Matthias stated. “What about my mental health, I’m pretty sure I’ll have to check into a psychiatric ward by the time this is done.”

“You and all the other males on campus.” Pitch stated walking over and jumping up onto the bed across from Matthias. “Not to worry though, as long as we keep a level head we can get through this week with only minor losses.”

“I guess that’s all we can do for now.” Matthias stated. “I wonder how Mike is doing?”

Elsewhere on the Campus:

Mike was at a loss for words. This morning he woke up with the sole intent of going and getting some breakfast before going back and camping out in his room and binging Netflix. Now he was held up in a classroom with a bunch of crazy mares stalking the hallways hunting for him. Had he known this would have happened he would have brought his cell phone to call for some help; or Matthias come to be cannon fodder so he could make his heroic escape.

Regardless, for the moment he was held up in what looked to be… a science room? At least that’s what it looked to be from where he was. Without the ability to lock the door he was forced to hide under several of the desks and try to wait this out. The screams of stallions and other males coming from the outside made him feel un-easy as he examined his surroundings.

“Okay so let’s see here.” He mused. “We’ve got an abandoned science room with no previsions to feed or defend myself.” He ran a hand through his hair. “Just fucking perfect, I’m basically a sitting duck waiting for the slaughter.”

“Well I guess if a mare comes in I could always whack her over the head with a biology book. That should but me enough time to at least get out of this room.”

As if on cue he heard the handle turn from the door and the muffled voices of mares suddenly became more audible. “Complain all you want Star Struck, but when we find a male, you’re going to be out of luck when I’m the first one to rut him and you have to rub one out while your waiting.”

“Shit” Mike cursed silently to himself as he tried to look for some means of defending himself, the hoof steps of the two mares getting closer and closer.

“I’m telling you, if we don’t get in line now, we will never get a turn with the males that have been caught so far.” Star Struck stated. “Besides, don’t you think they would be smart enough to hide somewhere else, I mean… wait, can you smell that?”

Mike listened as he heard the two mares take long hard sniffs of the air around them, separating from each other to try and distinguish what it was. “There’s somepony in here.” One said. The human eyed the door, judging his options. On one hand he could stay completely still and wait for one of them to realize ‘one could easily hide under these desks’, the other being a mad dash for the door and yet another wild goose chase through the school. Admittedly, both were stupid ideas but at the moment he had no better options so finally he decided.

As soon as the mares were distanced enough from each other, Mike made his move getting up from his hiding place and bolting for the door, bursting out into the hallway at full speed. The two mares having no idea what happened were stunned before dashing after him. “Told you!” he heard one of them yell. Yep this day was shaping up to be pretty much the worst day of his life.

He rounded another corner, bolting down some stairs, the two mares in a mad dash behind him and quickly catching up thanks to one being a Pegasus. Internally he cursed at himself for not having taken gym more at high school, his heart already pounding rapidly in his chest as his breath became more ragged. Approaching another turn he made a left before skidding to a sudden halt; leave it to him to come across a dead end. Without even a fire escape to help him, he was trapped just as the two mares blocked the way he came.

Mike turned to face his pastel colored captors, the purple Pegasus smiling as she licked her lips. The Olive earth mare eyeing him like a lion eyes a gazelle. “Now girls listen, let’s be reasonable about this, surely you would rape a poor helpless human right?” Mike tried reasoning but as they took another step, it was obvious they would do just that.

The olive mare turned to her counterpart. “I call first dibs on the waist down.” The purple mare chuckled, “I’m sure I can find a way to keep the top half busy.” They turned to face him before the olive mare spoke. “Now we can do this the easy way or the hard way, either way is good for me.” She said with a less then subtle wink.

Mike closed his eyes has he was literally backed against the wall, he would give anything to get out of this situation. One of the mares was now just in front of him kissing his legs through his jeans getting closer and closer to her ultimate prize, the other pegasus mare hanging from his shoulder as she licked and suckled his neck, breathing in his scent as if it were the most intoxicating thing she had ever smelled. His mind wandered to Lyra and how she was probably looking for him at that moment, and now his first experience with a pony was going to be entirely a one sided deal where he would be nothing more than a toy to the mares before him. The mare had made her way up to his waist line maneuvering herself under his shirt kissing and licking his stomach and she began to fiddle with the button on the jeans. Faintly he could hear the faint sound of footsteps in the nearby hallway, obviously someone else was having just a bad of day as he was.

But as the footsteps got closer he could a distinct voice call his name. “Mike! Where are you?!” He recognized it immediately and his eyes shot open just as the familiar mint green unicorn rounded the corner and came upon the scene unfolding in front of her. Her eyes flared as her eyes fell on the mares, the look on Mikes face said it all, he wasn’t enjoying this treatment, and if anyone was going to do that to him it was going to be her.

The Pegasus followed Mikes gaze as her eyes fell on the mint green unicorn. “Don’t worry you’ll get your turn eventually.” She licked up Mike’s neck again making the human shudder as he let out a small sigh. “Maybe in about an hour or two.”

Lyra’s teeth were grinding, and if were possible for one to catch on fire on anger alone, the whole campus would have been set ablaze. “Get your sleazy hooves off my boyfriend!” Her horn lit up with a strong golden hue as both mares were yanked off by the scruff of their necks and thrown down the hallway falling to the ground with an audible thud knocking the air out of the two of them before they were almost immediately on their hooves again staring down Lyra as she stood in front of Mike defensively. “Mike on the count of three, run.” She stated without turning away from her opponents. “Meet me at our dorm, head straight there, don’t stop for anything.”

The other mares stood a threatening step forward; the pegasus mares flared giving the illusion of making her seem bigger. “One.” The mares took another step forward. “Two.” The pegasus mares eyes fell on Mike watching him prepare to book it. “Three!” Lyra yelled her horn illuminating as both mares tales were pulled making them moan with pleasure and closing their eyes, completely missing Mike as he dashed towards the exit, hoping no more would find him. He glanced back at Lyra whose magic was busy at work, the sound of moans coming from the hallway leading him to believe she was giving them just what they wanted. His heart was racing again, but he dared not stop, the sound of moaning from everywhere fueling him on as he pushed himself faster and faster racing towards the nearest exit.

Surely Matthias had to have been in a better situation than he was now.

“Okay so here is how this is going to work.” Endless Rain began. “We are going to make what food we have last as long as possible. No snacking, no grazing, no eating because you’re bored, understood?” The human and unicorn stallion nodded. “Now if we are lucky, we can make this last for two days, three if we are lucky. After that we will try to go to Matthias’ room, and camp out there with what food he has, Get it?”

“Got it” The two replied.

“Good.” The stallion got up and walked over to the door pushing against and making sure the doors were locked securely. “Starting now we are on lockdown, no one gets in or out. If you go out there you are on your own.” He placed a chair under the door handle. “Okay, let the lock down begin.”
