Lifting a Soul

Being Compared

After waking up from what probably the most peaceful night I have ever felt, I felt my throat becoming itchy. "My throat... Where's the glass of water?" I said in a raspy voice. I reached out my hoof on my right side, hoping that there is a glass of water placed beside me. As soon as I felt a glass-like texture, I quickly grabbed it and then took a long gulp. "Why does this water taste different?" I thought to myself. I opened my eyes slowly and saw that I was drinking in a wine bottle. I threw the bottle away from my face and then started to spit out some of the wine I drank. I felt myself heating up again, just like last night. "Why does this keep happening?" I felt myself shaking furiously. I quickly ran to the bathroom, which was not far away from me. I went inside and then quickly locked the door. "Just contain yourself inside Pico and then everything will turn out okay." I said to myself. I rested my back on the wall and then gave out a sigh of relief.

"Pico are you in there, I heard some hoovesteps running to the bathroom?" Amabel asked as she knocked on the door.

"Ye-yes, I'm in here."

"Okay then, and could you please get out of the bathroom, I really need to use it now."

"Uh-uh, sure." I stood in front of the door, preparing for what I am about to do. "Okay it is all about timing." I said to myself. "One... Two... Three..." at the count of three, I quickly unlocked the door, went behind Amabel, pushed her inside of the bathroom and then closed the door. I sighed as I held on to the knob of the door.

"Hey, what's with that about!?" Amabel yelled as she tried to open the door.

"Er... Nothing, just got a little bit hype." I replied to her as I keep the door closed.

"That doesn't sound like a reason." she tried to open the door with a little more force.

"Just stop asking for a reason and then use the bathroom already."

"Okay, fine." she finally stopped. I slowly removed my hooves off of the door knob. I backed away from the door and then back to the living room. I picked the wine bottle up from the floor and then gave it a mean look.

"You don't really look special to me." I said to the bottle. "Well at least your effects on me are slowly fading away." I moved the bottle closer to my snout and then gave it a sniff. It smelled like grapes and cherry. "At least you have a nice smell." I continued to sniff on the bottle. The front door suddenly opened causing me to jump out of shock. I threw the bottle in mid air out of shock. The mouth of the bottle landed on my muzzle. I felt the wine pouring down my throat. I finished the whole bottle before throwing it away from me. The bottle landed in front of the mare in a maid outfit. The mare gave the bottle a curious look. After a few seconds she looked up to me.

"Oh um... Excuse me sir, I would like to inform you that the whole day has ended." The mare said with a smile. I slowly walked towards the mare without giving out any noises or sounds. "Er... Excuse me sir, but would you like to move a bit away from me?" I didn't respond to her question. I moved my face closer to her. "What are you planning to do?" The mare backed away a bit. I placed my hoof on her chin and then pulled her face closer to me. "Sorry sir, but I mu-." I pulled the mare in for a kiss without having any double thoughts. The wine blocked my thoughts, and all I could ever think of was pleasure. As I move my tongue inside of her mouth, her magenta eyes were looking at me like it was asking for more. I patted her red colored mane. I could hear her, moaning inside of my mouth. I suddenly heard a door being opened.

"Pico..." I heard Amabel's voice behind me. I slowly released from the kiss and then turned around. I saw Amabel staring at me with a shocked expression.

"So-sorry mam, I mu-must leave." the mare said as she left us in our room. I stood frozen for a few moments before Amabel released another words.

"What were you doing?"

"I uh... It is the." I quickly searched for the wine bottle. "It's because of..." I finally found the wine bottle and then quickly brought it in front of Amabel. "It is because of this."

"You kissed an employee of this hotel because of a bottle?" Amabel raised her eyebrows.

"No, what I meant was it is because of this wine."

"I just don't get you."

"Fine, if you don't get me then I just give up." I facehoofed myself. "Besides, we need to go back to Ponyville." I quickly grabbed my saddle near the couch and then went outside without waiting for her. As I walk down to the lobby, I noticed that some of the employees in the hotel was staring at me. "This isn't as fun as I hope it would be." I said to myself. I waited for Amabel outside of the hotel. It took a whole minute before Amabel finally went outside. "What took you so long?" I asked her with an angry expression.

"You don't need to ask that." I sighed.

"Fine, I won't ask and I won't even care." I turned my back on her and then walked down the sidewalk. Amabel was 10 meters away from me as we walk down the sidewalk. We were like that until we finally reached the train station. We went inside the train and then took a seat, but instead of Amabel sitting beside me, she was sitting in front of me.

"The train is now moving!!!" the conductor yelled. I gazed at the window as I tried to remember how I got myself into this kind of situation.

"It is all my fault anyway, why would I even blame it on Amabel?" I thought to myself. I moved my eyes a bit so I could get a small view on her. She was watching the view on the window. Her face was showing a sad expression. "Listen Amab-." Amabel raised her hoof in front of my face before I could finish my sentence.

"I know, it is all my fault, I'll leave you alone when we get to Ponyville." Amabel replied without looking at me. "Maybe you're just the same as Samphy."

"You know that I hate it when I'm being compared to Samphy, right?" I raised an eyebrow at her. She didn't respond to my question. "Looks like it is gonna be a quiet trip then." I said to myself.
