Rainbow Dash smirks at me as she gently caresses the tip of the white poll. I gulp, watching in rapt attention as she prepares to grip it with a hoof.

She moves her hoof in one fluid motion, and I let out a groan as she leans back.

"Checkmate," she announces with a smirk. I rub my temples in irritation as I try to find some way out of the play, hoping it's just a Check...

"Fuck," I spit as I lean back in defeat. "You win..."

Rainbow Dash grins at me as she pumps her hoof in victory. "Awwwww yeah!" She shouts. I glare at her rook, hating it as it stands there, mocking my King as it's trapped by both the Rook and her Knight. I can't move my King, or I'll put it in danger from her Knight, and if I take her Rook, the same thing applies. Also, I can't take her Rook with my Bishop, because then I'll be letting her Queen have access to my King. The only thing I can do is shake her hoof, put the chess pieces and the board away, and oblige to the parameters of our bet.

"Go on," she urges as she sits on my lap, rewarding her with a grunt as her flank sandwiches my member. "Gimme a back rub!"

I sigh as I place my hands on her shoulders, and begin to rub - mostly with my ridiculously strong thumbs. I may have been preoccupied with keeping myself alive in my past life, but that doesn't mean that I didn't have time for excessive video games.

Especially Pokémon.

She sighs as I give her the agreed upon rub down, and squirms a bit in my lap. I wince as a blush creeps into my cheeks, and I can't help but look downwards.

Ever since our date and our passionate love-making, I've been looking at Rainbow Dash as less of a pony and as more of a human. After a while, I stopped seeing her flank as a horses' butt, and started to see it as Rainbow Dash's ass - and what an ass it is. It's toned and muscled and tight, but it's got just enough fat to pad it and give it that wonderful curve. Quite honestly, it's a curve of sexy perfection.

"Staring at my flank again?" She asks. I look up with a blush, and I see that she's looking over her shoulder at me with a smirk. I give her a sheepish smile, and she chuckles lightly as she squirms a bit in my lap, causing my blush to intensify as I feel pleasure building up. "Well, we might as well massage each other," she announces, seductively. I grin with an intense blush as I continue to massage, and she continues to grind.

However, we're cut short as Rarity walks into the hospital room without so much as a knock.

"Rainbow Dash!" She screams, causing the cyan Pegasus to let out a yelp of a surprise as she leaps off of my figure, and hover in the air as she sweats bullets. "I thought you meant what you told Applejack!" She cries, a pout creeping across her face.

"What'd you tell Applejack?" I ask, rather confused. Rainbow ignores me as her blush gets even redder - something I didn't think was possible.

"I did mean it! But now that we've made love, anything after that is just having fun! Our first time was emotional and beautiful, but if I just want to be a bit sexy with my boyfriend, then it doesn't have to be all 'beautiful' again - only when we actually make love does it have to be that way!"

I blush intensely as I hear that. She's told me that she felt that way about her first time, but I had no idea she had told her friends about it. I mean, I don't mind, but...it's a surprise.

"Oh," Rarity announces. "Alright, that makes sense...I suppose." She shakes her head as she glares at the cyan Pegasus. "In any case, you shouldn't do stuff like that in a hospital!"

Rainbow rolls her eyes, but admits that it was wrong, if only to shut up the white unicorn. Rarity then turns to me, and starts to interrogate me on my condition. I respond with smiles, and once she's satisfied, she turns around and says something that shocks us both.

"While I don't condone doing things like that in a hospital, I'll leave you two to...enjoy yourselves," she announces with a wink. Rainbow and I both blush and stammer, and she walks away with a pleasant giggle, and closes the door behind herself.

"She's always telling sex jokes," Rainbow informs my befuddled expression. "I never expect them, and she always teases me with them...it's, like, super annoying, but also kinda cool...that, in all honestly, was a crappy one compared to most of the jokes she tells..."

I smile as I nod, and Rainbow Dash checks the door for a doctor before sitting back down on my lap. I suck in my breath as she deliberately situates herself in the most arousing way possible.

"Well, I think we should continue our rub-downs," she announces with a smirk. I nod, and we both continue to rub each other.

About a half hour later, there are several tissues discarded into the garbage, and Rainbow Dash is cuddling up to me with a small smirk.

"Good thing we didn't make a mess," she announces. I nod, and she kisses me on the base of my jaw.

As I hold her, something random comes into mind, and I pose it as a question.

"Hey, Dash - how'd you get so good at chess?"

"Well, I told you I actually graduated as valedictorian from Flight School, right?" She asks.

"Uh...I think?" I respond. "I don't exactly remember, but I might as well congratulate you on it again, or for the first time."

Rainbow chuckles lightly. "Yeah...anyway, I decided that the best way to keep my mind sharp for flying would be to learn how to play chess. Because, y'know - the strategy of it. I decided that if I can know what to do in a certain situation in chess, then I would attain the same mindset for flying. So, I just kept practicing and learning from my mentors, and, well...within a month or so, I was top-ranking in my chess club. Well, y'know, except for Fluttershy..."

I cock an eyebrow at her. "Fluttershy plays chess?"

"Yeah, and she's amazing. She had me in Checkmate in, like, five moves. Thing is, even when she's not playing speed chess, she makes her moves within, like, seconds. So it really kept me on my hooves, and I eventually just lost track because she was just going so fast, and, well...I lost my Queen on my third move, and then she got me into Checkmate on her fifth. If I remember, she did so by sacrificing her Queen, and putting her own King into check - she used the organization of my own pieces to beat me."

I nod, and shrug a bit. "It was probably more than five moves," I announce. "You're probably just exaggerating..."

She shrugs as well. "Whatever. All I know is that she's the only pony I don't mind losing Chess to - she's too good, and I can't help but admire her for that. I think she could probably beat Princess Celestia..."

I chuckle lightly. "Now that is something I would like to see..."

"Yeah, given Celestia doesn't rage quit and drop the sun on Flutters," Rainbow remarks. We both snicker, and I kiss her on the forehead for no reason whatsoever.

A moment of silence passes, and then Rainbow rolls out of the bed with a stretch of her wings.

"Well, I've gotta get going, babe," she announces. "Got a lot of weather to manage today..."

"Alright," I respond with a smile. "See ya tomorrow, sweetheart."

"Oh...shit, I almost forgot about that," she announces, frowning at me in nervousness. "I won't be here tomorrow - I'll be in Cloudsdale, attending a weather debriefing for the next quarter..."

I nod. "Alright, see you on...whatever the fuck comes after tomorrow, because I lost track of the days two days ago," I announce. Rainbow chuckles a she gives me a peck on the forehead.

"That's Friday, sweetheart," she says softly. "See ya then."

I nod, and she leaves - after we have a final good-bye make out session, of course.

I lean back on my pillow with a sit as I clasp my hands behind my head. Life...is...good!

I close my eyes, and eventually fall asleep, snoring as I dream of Hannibal Lecter making a gourmet dish out of kidney and lung...
