Chapter 19: The Gangs' All Back Together Again

Silence.

That's all that hung through the air on the walk back to the library. Twilight and I walked side by side, while Chris and James stayed back a bit but followed nonetheless. James looked to be thinking the whole situation through his head again while Chris opted to look at the world around him and observe the almost perfect state of everything. Upon finally reaching the library Twilight swung the door open with her magic and Stepped inside, where I shortly followed.

"Oh come on! Does this not look like a children's cartoon to ANYONE ELSE?!" James began for the millionth time. "Like COME ON! SHE LIVES IN A TREE EVEN!"

Shaking his head, Chris walked past him and ducked through the doorway, causing James to let out an irritated sigh and follow soon after.

"But I gotta say... there is something really familiar about all this..." James continued whilst I just began to tune him out. After all... there's only so much James you can handle in one day.

At that moment Spike walked into the room and and froze upon seeing our company.

"Uh... I see your friends are awake? Should I put something in?" Spike asked to Twilight.

"No it's alright Spike, its almost dinner time anyway." Twilight began as James, upon hearing the dragons name, fell into deep thought.

"Spike.... Spike... where have I...." Right then something must have made sense because he froze up, and his eyes widened beyond human standards. "SPIKE!" He yelled as he dove to the floor and looked him in the eyes" "Your Spike!" He continued shouting.

"Yeah Twilight just kinda said that?" I shot back as I took a seat on the couch.

"No man you don't get it! ITS SPIKE! I KNOW HIM!" James continued frantically as everyone looked at him like he was mad. "Alright just hear me out... your Spike... and Twilight! Your last name is... uh..." He paused before smiling, "Right! Sporkle!"

Rolling her eyes she corrected him. "Sparkle."

"Yeah right! Sparkle! Student to... uh that one chick! The sunlight one!"

This caught my attention. "You mean Celestia? How do you know her?" I asked genuinely interested now.

"Yeah... how do you know this stuff man?" Chris added in, sitting next to me on the couch.

"I told you! This whole place was just too damn strange! I can't remember but I KNOW I've heard this all somewhere before!" He finished looking proud of himself.

"Well if you think of something let me know, cause I feel like your onto something, but if your done I'd like to go and relax a bit. This day has been kinda crazy." I said as I got up and made my way out of the room.

As I left the room I walked to the bathroom with the intent of getting into a nice warm bath and just relax. Normally I'd take a shower but the whole meet up with my friends sapped all of my energy. I stepped into the bathroom and closed the door behind me. For a moment I wondered why there wasn't a lock on the door, but I realized any ponies would probably knock before entering anyway.

I started the water and checked it's temperature to make sure I didn't boil myself like a lobster. After getting the temperature just right I noticed the bubbles building up in the water. Looking to the side of the bathtub I saw a little print of text.

'Self bubbling bath tub! Series #3761 By PoneSmart'

I shrugged and accepted the fact it's going to be a bubble bath and began stripping down my clothes, throwing them in the corner of the bathroom, before climbing into the tub. It took longer than I expected to fill the tub, as the thing was absolutely MASSIVE.

'Sheesh... you could fit like, 3 other ponies in this thing' I thought to myself as the water reached an acceptable height.

Turning off the water, I let myself lean back and relax against the back of the tub. I couldn't even touch the end of it with my feet but I didn't care, I lay like that for a while and before I knew it, my eyelids drew heavy and I drifted off to sleep.

But what I didn't know was how the bubbles began to cover my head while I lay there...

__--Perspective: Twilight--__

After about 15 minutes of talking with Chris I began to wonder where Deckard went off to and decided I should probably go find him and let him know when dinner would be. I stood up and stretched my legs as I said goodbye to Chris and walked off deeper into the library. As I walked, I could feel the temperature rising slightly as I neared the bathroom and wondered if he was inside.

I trotted up to the door and gave it a slight knock. "Deckard? You in there?"

No response.

Shrugging, I turned the handle and pushed the door open to reveal a full bubble bath with no occupants.

'How... sweet... he started me a bubble bath? He must have known how stressed I've been today after... moving on...' I thought to myself as I walked to the front end of the tub and stuck my hoof in.

The temperature was warm but could be a bit hotter, but I decided I would see how it is before changing it. Slowly I climbed into the front end of the tub and eased myself into the inviting waters. As I submerged myself almost fully, I allowed my head to lay back against the tub and release a pent up breath. As I lay there my mind began wandering as I thought about the events of the day.

Then my mind wandered too far, as Deckard floated into my mind and I began to feel a slight burning sensation between my legs.

'Why do I keep feeling this way? I've never felt like this so often other than when I'm...' My eyes shot open as the realization hit me.

'I'm in heat....'

I remained like that for a while, just thinking about that one revelation. How could I have forgotten? Have I really been so caught up with this that I forgot something so important! I shook my head and gave a small chuckle at my own foolishness.

'Well... I'm alone right now... I guess it wouldn't hurt... just really quick...'

Slowly I closed my eyes and slid back more as I slowly open my hind legs. My fore hoof slowly traveled down my body until it brushed past it's target, causing a shiver of pleasure to wash over me as I let out a small hum. I was about to continue until something happened... something that will forever be marked as the scariest moment in my life. My hind leg touched something.

**********************************************

__--Perspective: Deckard--__

My eyes slowly began to open as I noticed I was staring at an endless sea of white bubbles. Before I had a chance to sit up I could hear the bathroom door slam open, causing me to lurch forward.

"Man I really gotta take a sh-" James' words were caught in his throat as he looked at the scene he walked into.

Before I had a chance to tell him to get the fuck out, I noticed the purple on my peripheral vision. Slowly turning my head, what I saw made me feel two things, anger, and extreme embarrassment.

Sitting on the other side of the tub, looking bright red and frozen solid despite the hot temperature in the room, was Twilight. Before having a chance to make sense of the subject, James spoke up.

"Well... I see you two are busy in here... sa'll right I'll just uh... hold it in then..." He said slowly as he began backing out the door.

Turning to him quickly I raised my hands defensively. "NO nononono! It's not what it loo-"

James cut me off with a quick hand motion. "Nah man... I understand... plus I've done things much stranger..." He finished as he quickly left and shut the door behind him.

With the only distraction gone, I had to face the only other person in the room. Slowly I turned to Twilight to see she still hasn't moved but has become much more red.

"So uh... Twilight?" I began.

"Y-Yeah?" She shakily answered.

"This is pretty awkward..."

Pausing for a moment she quickly shook her head. "Yeah... yeah it is..."
