As Fluttershy marched towards Twilight’s library, she did so with the face of a pony that was about to be hanged. She was certain that her friends would quickly figure out what was wrong with her, but that couldn’t be helped.
“I just hope Rainbow and Twilight won’t be too angry with me...” the shy pegasus thought, and the images of her two friends’ faces distorted in anger almost made her cry.
However, all those dark thought evaporated from her mind once she felt something warm brush her legs. Startled, Fluttershy looked down, and calmed down once she saw a familiar cat.
“Oh, hello, Spottedleaf.” the pegasus greeted the cat, patting her on the head. “Where is your-”
“Right next to you.” she heard Matt’s voice reply from her side, making her squeak and jump into air.
Shaking, Fluttershy looked down to see Matt regarding her with worried and mildly annoyed expression.
“Fluttershy, I wanted to talk with you.” he said. “Would you mind coming down from there?”
She knew what he wanted to talk about. It’s about what happened back at the Abbey. Fluttershy had hoped to avoid discussing that, but now there was nothing she could do. A brief thought appeared in her head about trying to escape, but she felt that despite her having wings Matt would caught up to her without much problem. And so, resigned, she landed beside him, her head low and cheeks red.
She heard the stallion sigh before he spoke: “Fluttershy, you shouldn’t be so... embarrassed over what happened. Can you please look at me?”
Fluttershy gulped nervously and did as he asked. As she raised her head to meet his, she saw Matt smiling at her encouragingly.
“Back then, you meant to make me feel better, but did not expect me to turn my head at that moment, correct?” he asked, and Fluttershy nodded sheepishly. “Then you really shouldn’t be so embarrassed. If anyone should, it should be me.”
“But it was my-” she tried to protest, but he cut her off.
“It was nopony’s fault; it was simply an accident. Do you remember the morning after the reception?”
She remembered. The memory of opening Twilight’s room’s door, and seeing the two of them arguing while still in Twilight’s bed would probably stay with her for a long time. Fluttershy also recalled how her unicorn friend explained that by accident she had kissed Matt.
“See?” Matt asked after a while. “It’s basically the same thing, only that this is much less embarrassing... well, for me.”
“Well... yes, okay, but you and Twilight... and Rainbow Dash...”
She paused, unsure of what she was actually going to say, and saw Matt roll his eyes.
“Twilight and I are, most importantly, friends. It shouldn’t really matter to one who the other kisses or get kissed.”
Fluttershy, despite her own embarrassment clouding her mind, didn’t miss that he said ‘shouldn’t’.
“And I am sure that she would look at it as I did, if you truly think that you should tell her about it. As for Rainbow Dash, though...” he paused, and an uneasy smile crossed his face. “Fluttershy, you know her longer than I. Just try to imagine how she would react to you telling her.”
Despite not wanting to do it, the shy pegasus nodded, and closed her eyes, concentrating...
“Umm, Rainbow Dash...” she mumbled, uncertain. “I kinda... kissed Mattie... by accident.”
Rainbow’s eyes grow wide, and for a brief moment, her jaw dropped. But before Fluttershy could say anything else, the cyan pegasus burst into laughter, holding her sides.
She opened her eyes to see Matt regard her with the same unease smile as before.
“She would probably laugh about it and tease us, mostly me as you’re so sensitive and all.” he said, without any ill-meaning behind his words.
Hearing that, Fluttershy slowly realized that she’s really overreacted on the whole thing. If anypony was going to ‘suffer’ from it, it would be Matt, and while she hated to cause a discomfort for her friend or anypony in general, she knew that he could bear with it.
“You’re right, that is what she would do.” Fluttershy replied, finally allowing herself to smile. “And since you also don’t mind what had happened... then I guess I don’t have to worry about it.”
“I’m glad that you see it this way.” Matt said, sighing with relief. “I would hate to have a repeat of what happened after the reception, when all of you were too ashamed to talk to me...”
As Matt continued, Fluttershy played the memories of that night. Of how uncouth the five of them behaved. What she and Rarity-
“Oh, for Light’s sake.” Matt interrupted both himself and her train of thoughts.
“Um, sorry.” the pegasus replied, smiling with embarrassment, but she bravely shook it off. “So, you are going back to the Everfree Abbey, right?”
“Yes, I need to properly settle in there.” he said, shaking the saddlebag. “And I kinda have a thing to do, so I’ll better get going. Have a good time on that slumber party.”
“Thank you, and sorry that you had to wait for me here...” she began to apologize, but at the annoyed look Matt gave he she stopped.
Chuckling, they both said their goodbyes and went their separate ways.
“So, yer sayin this is Matt’s world?” Applejack asked when it was her turn to look through the telescope.
“Yes, I found it by searching for the constellations he told me about. When I located the-” Twilight began to explain in that nerdy way of her, but at that moment all of them heard her door opening. “That must be Fluttershy, excuse me.” she said and casted a teleportation spell.
“Whew, that was close.” Rainbow thought as she continued to scan the shelves with books. “If I would hear that astro mambo-jumbo one more...”
“RD, mind tellin us what exactly are ya looking fer?” Applejack, her attention apparently no longer on the telescope, asked.
“Um, I emm...” the cyan mare stuttered, hoping that her face wasn’t showing her embarrassment. “I was looking for “Daring Do” books, of course.”
“They’re downstairs, and Ah know ya know it.” the earth pony replied simply, lifting one eyebrow.
Rainbow gulped nervously, but she was spared further questioning by the arrival of Twilight and Fluttershy. Applejack shot her one more suspecting look, and turned back to greet Fluttershy. Dash sighed with relief and, making sure that none of the others was observing her (Twilight was now telling Fluttershy about Azeroth, and Rarity continued to stylize Pinkie Pie’s mane), she returned to her search.
“It’s impossible for you to not have books about that subject, Twilight!” she thought angrily.
“Everypony’s comfortable?” Twilight asked about ten minutes later, when they were all sitting in a circle on their sleeping bags, surrounded by various snacks, drinks (from which they took occasional sips) and games in case they would run out of topics to talk about.
In the corner of her eye, she spotted Rainbow Dash once again glance around the library, as she did so when Twilight let her in this night. The unicorn couldn’t understand what she was searching for, and why wouldn’t she simply ask her about it, but for now she let that be.
“We are, sugarcube, but what about ya?” Applejack asked, and immediately Twilight got annoyed, as she knew exactly what her friend meant. Again. “How are ye holdin’ up with Matt leavin’?”
“I am-” Twilight snapped, but was at that very second interrupted by Pinkie.
“Yeah, I mean, if I had a roomy that I had a crush on leave to live on the other side of town, I would got super-duper sad, and I would had to eat boxes of ice cream with a huge spoon, and watch some sappy-” Twilight, not being able to bear it, pressed her hoof against the pink pony mouth, but unfortunately, that wasn’t enough to silence her properly. “-hhmfhmhr hhjfmg hfhfmgh, hfhhgmg, hhghmgm! Hmmffhgh, ghtm? Hmgmg...”
Finally Pinkie Pie trailed off, noticing the hoof and the stare Twilight was giving her. Satisfied, the unicorn sighed and released her.
“I am feeling fine, thanks for your concern, but it’s really unnecessary. It’s not like Matt moved to the other side of Equestria, for pony sake. And besides, he and I are just friends, remember? I admit, I once thought of him as more than friend, but since then this feeling had toned down.”
Inwardly, she winced, knowing that it wasn’t really the truth.
“Umh, you expect us to believe it?” Rarity, as if reading her thoughts, asked.
“I thought we agreed that you won’t try to play a match-maker.” Twilight reminded her, looking at her threateningly.
“Just because we agreed that we won’t try to get you two together, it doesn’t mean we’ve stopped thinking you two belong with each other.” Rarity replied, and the others nodded.
“Why the hay are you nodding?” the lavender mare asked Rainbow Dash, now even more annoyed.
“Hey, Matt and I actually are just friends.” Dash replied, sounding offended. “If you two would decide to be together, I would happily found another stallion to ‘play’ with, alright.”
“I thought you said all the other stallions in this town are... beyond your level limit of awesomeness, or something.” Twilight snorted, though privately she was... amazed that Dash was ready to stop her ‘activities’ with Matt.
“I’m signing up for the Wonderbolt Academy this year, remember?”
“How could I forget?” the unicorn thought sarcastically, recalling how on her last birthday Rainbow celebrated mostly the fact that she now reached the required age to apply for getting accepted there.
“I might meet some cool guys there.” the cyan pegasus continued. “So if I would quit bucking Matt, I could find somepony else, and if not, hey, mare doesn’t live just by rutting.”
“One could have doubts by your recent behaviour...” Rarity muttered quietly.
“Excuse me?!” Rainbow Dash immediately shouted, glaring at the fashionista. “Care to repeat that?!”
“Oh, boy, here we go at last.” Twilight, who expected this sort of argument between the two for a while now, thought.
“Well, excuse me, Rainbow Dash,” Rarity replied coolly, while the other four ponies glanced uncertainly between the two, “but I just think that a mare should have more... moderation.”
“‘Moderation, as in staying a virgin until you meet ‘Prince Charming’?” Dash mocked. “How has that worked for you?”
Flames of hatred ignited in Rarity’s eyes as the pegasus reminded her (and everypony present in the room, for that matter) how she used to dream about marrying prince Blueblood.
“No, ‘moderation’ as in waiting to have a relationship with a pony before-”
“Are you seriously going to give me a relationship’s advices?” Rainbow interrupted her. “What do you know about them? Have you even kissed a colt?”
Rarity begins to reply in spat: “Yes! For your information, Mat-!”
As the white unicorn clasped her mouth, everypony stared at her, all astonished. Despite Rarity’s quick stop, there was no way they could unheard what she let slip.
“Did you just said...” Twilight slowly recovered from shock. “that you... kissed Matt?”
“Please don’t hate me!” Rarity exclaimed as she fell to, not Rainbow’s, but Twilight’s hooves; much to the latter irritation at the fact. “It was few days after we returned from Canterlot after the wedding, when we all had troubles talking to him due to events after reception, and he was going from one to another of us trying to bring things back to normal, and he asked me what could he do. And I drunk a bit wine that day while discussing a business matter with a pony all the way from Trottingham, and Matt just looks like a prince from a fairy tale, and so I asked him-”
“Oh, come on, Rarity!” Pinkie Pie interrupted their by now almost crying friend, as her words became nearly incoherent. “Nopony is going to make a big deal out of it! Nopony did when I kissed Mattie, too, right?”
“Wha- Pinkie?!” Twilight asked with her jaw hanging. “When I did you kissed Matt?!”
The pink pony looked at her and blinked, as if not understanding question. Finally, she waved her hoof and brushed the back of her head. “Ups, I didn’t mention that?”
“No, you did not.”
“Well, it was back when he and Brannie were stuck in Canterlot, and I was really mad at them for not coming to my party, but then Mattie told me that this meant that I would get to threw two parties, and I was soo happy that I just had to kiss him.” Pinkie explained without any trace of embarrassment or shame whatsoever. However, the next moment she facial expression changed into thoughtful one instead of happy. “Although, I still don’t get why his mouth tasted like cotton candy...”
Twilight was at the loss for words. To think that not only Pinkie (from who she expected everything anyway), but Rarity, who kept telling her that she and Matt were meant for each other...
“Um...” Fluttershy’s quiet attempt to say something pulled her out from her thoughts. “Since everypony is saying, I, um... I too...”
“Oh, you’ve gotta be kidding me.” Twilight stated, now annoyed.
“Please don’t be mad at me, it was an accident.” Fluttershy quickly explained. “After I came over to the Abbey today to help them with Al’ar-”
“Al’who? Is there new pony around here?” Pinkie Pie interrupted.
“- Mattie began apologizing to me for his earlier outburst, and he just seemed so sad, that I wanted to cheer him up, and I just wanted to hug him and kiss him on the cheek, but he then turned his head-”
Her further words were obscured by a burst of laughter, coming from a rainbow-mane mare.
“No wonder Matt seemed troubled when he mentioned Fluttershy earlier.” Twilight thought, wondering how Rainbow Dash could react only with laughter. Granted, she herself wasn’t too much bothered by it, either, and it was just kisses, but still...
“Now, wait a darn minute!” Applejack suddenly exclaimed. “Ya mean to tell me that I’m the only one to not kiss Matt?!”
“And you are so enraged by it because?” Twilight asked, making the cowpony blush and look away. “You are all a bunch of hypocrites.” the unicorn informed the rest. “You keep saying that Matt and I should be together, and you all kissed him or want to kiss him! Or buck with him!” she added, glancing at still laughing Rainbow.
“Oh, relax, Twi.” the cyan mare replied, wiping away tears of laughter. “Just because all of us think Matt is hot, it doesn’t mean we have any deeper feelings for him like you do. Right ladies?” she asked, looking at the other four, who all nodded. “I mean, have you seen any of us mooning around him like you did?”
Twilight growled inwardly, feeling more uncomfortable with the direction this conversation was taking.
“Perhaps, but... Okay, what are you looking for, Rainbow?” the lavender unicorn finally asked when she spotted Dash taking again a quick glance around the library, and she hoped that this might change the subject.
“I’m not looking for anything!” the pegasus quickly defended herself.
“Yes, you are, I saw you few times scanning all my books.”
“Me too.” added Applejack.
For a moment, it looked as if Rainbow was going to deny it again, but she then slumped down and gave up.
“Okay, fine, I was... looking for...” she hesitated, before she finished quieter: “a book about sex.”
As the others looked at her, confused, she explained, blushing: “I want to get better at it, okay?! Those jokes Matt makes from time to time about me ‘really being the fastest pony’ can get really annoying sometimes.”
“What d’ya mean?” Applejack asked.
Now more red than cyan, the pegasus rolled her eyes. “I... usually finish twice before Matt does. Or more…”
…
“Well...” Twilight stammered, trying to fill the void after Dash’s words. “that’s... an earth pony stamina for you, I guess.”
“Don’t patronize me.” the pegasus replied. “So, do you have any books about it or don’t you?”
“Nope, sorry. Although... the library record shows that there are supposed to be here. I guess that somepony must have taken them before Spike and I moved in from Canterlot, along with...” she hesitated, as it suddenly became quite clear to her. “... some... romance novels.”
Five pair of eyes slowly moved on the perpetrator, who, realizing that they all must have thought the same thing, blushed.
“What?” Rarity asked weakly, as if hoping that she could fool them.
“Well, putting aside that you either stole library property or prolong keeping those books,” Twilight replied with annoyance, “I would guess that all of us are shocked that you took those kinds of books.”
“Yeah, that makes you hypocritical in lights of our previous argument.” Dash added.
“Well, excuse me.” Rarity told them with mild tone of offence in her voice. “Just because I see value in keeping your virginity until you meet the one, does not mean I am not interested in intercourses. I read plenty on the subject, so that my first time will be memorable for both me and whoever my, as you put, ‘prince charming’ turns out to be.”
“Based on the knowledge taken from books?” the cyan mare asked, smirking. “Who are you, Twilight?”
The unicorn in question glared at her angrily, but the next thing they all heard made them all forget about this.
“Actually, Rainbow Dash, I wouldn’t mind to hear some first-hoof experience on the matter.”
And again, all eyes pointed at Rarity.
“Are you... seriously asking me to tell you all about my ‘inter-whatsitnow’ with Matt?” Dash asked to be certain.
“Well I for one am a bit curious, and since you’re the only one that had sex so far out of all of us...” Rarity trailed off, as it wasn’t necessary to explain more.
“What the rest of you think?”
“I guess...” Twilight started uncertainly. “I am bit curious as well.”
“Me, too.” Applejack stated. “Although, I wonder exactly what Pinkie added to those drinks that made us talk about all of this.”
“Oh, relax, Applejack.” Pinkie Pie replied to the accusation. “There’s nothing wrong with mares discussing smoshy times, right?”
“Smoshy times?” Twilight repeated in her head, wondering where she got that from.
“Well, since nopony seems to mind...” Rainbow Dash, a bit red on her cheeks again, began.
Half an hour later, the six mares, all of them tipsy from their drinks, giggled with excitement as Dash finished telling them about another one of the more passionate moments she spent with Matt, with all the juicy details.
“Seems ye two got a lot of fun together.” Applejack commented.
“Yeah, you might consider finding a stallion and trying it out yourself.” Dash replied with a wink. “After all, you have this big ol’ barn...”
“Are ya kiddin’? Ya suppose I’d rut in the same barn that my sister and her friends play in sometimes?”
“Oh... you might consider cleaning it, then.”
“RD...” Applejack asked, with her eyes wide. “Ya two didn’t-”
She stopped once the pegasus erupted with laughter.
“I can’t believe you fell for it!” she exclaimed, as she rolled on the floor.
“Oh, ya little...” the farm pony muttered angrily, and grabbed her pillow, which then she used to throw to the laughing pegasus.
The blow caught Dash right on the cheek, and sends her rolling away. She quickly recovered, though, and reached for her own pillow.
“Yay! Pillow fight!” Pinkie Pie shouted happily, as she threw hers at Rarity.
The white unicorn’s eyes widened in shock, but then quickly squinted on Pinkie threateningly. “Oh, it is ON!” she whispered as she joined the fray, pulling in Twilight and Fluttershy into it somehow as well.
Storm Clash, who was about half-way done with the libram that Sir Matthias gave him, looked startled as Tucker Out jumped up from his bunk unexpectedly. Unlike him or Guard Shield, the unicorn chose to go to sleep instead of doing any reading, and for the last few hours all they could hear from him was the sound of breathing.
“What is it?” Guard asked, echoing Storm’s thoughts.
“I... I don’t know.” Tucker replied, confused. “But it feels like... something wonderful has happened.”
The other two stallions exchanged annoyed glances, and returned to their lectures.
lol yess
This Chapter was so funny.... RD telling everypony about her "times" with matt is just wierd though... funny... but wierd
Hilarious as always. And Twilight is right. Hipocrisy is Magic.
2930186 In my defense, I grew up watching Friends. They stated that women tell each other everything.
2930194 but this is RAINBOW we are talking about..... if it was Rarity... i wouldnt think it wierd... but its RAINBOW!!!
Alright I'll say it so we have it out of the way, Bow Chicka Bow Wow!
Tucker has one hell of a sixth sense
That is all.
Mate, I really gotta say, as much as I like your story... I really think it'd be a good idea if you found yourself a native speaker to go over your chapters for readability. There's nothing wrong with the structure of your story, just word choice and occasionally grammar/sentence structure.
This is a lot of fun, and the grammar doesn't kill it for me, but it really is kinda painful sometimes. Your grasp of the language is amazing from where I stand, especially since I can't speak ANY other languages, but in terms of prose it gets super awkward from time to time.
Hehehe, Tucker displays an uncanny sense there.
Oh, Twily, if you'd only get your head out of your plot... *Shakes head*
Bit at the end reminds me of a part from Scrubs.
When Applejack said "ye" my brain immediately switched her accent from Texan to Scottish.
So since in your story ponies go through Menstruation instead of Estrous I have one question I must ask... Is Rainbow Dash going to get pregnant? They have rutted at least three times now, and you've never mentioned anything about them using protection, especially since it seems to be a spur of the moment kind of thing.
I have no idea where you want to take this story, (Twilight x Matt or Rainbow x Matt or Matt and herd) but I think ignoring the fact that Rainbow and Matt are doing the dirty is too big to miss.
That is unless if she is already pregnant.
I lost my shit right there
Also, (this is probably because I'm an idiot) but I'm a bit confused as to what happened to Tucker at the end. It seems to me that he has like 'Super-Pervert Sense', but what part exactly was he referring to? Or was it just all the events at the slumber party in general? Someone explain pls?
... And this is coming from the guy that makes a headcanon used to comprehend Pinkie Pie that involves Discord, chaos magic, royalty, a thousand years of genetic mingling, and bipolar disorder. So that proves it - I am officially the world's most hapless moron when it comes to innuendo.
Every time I read this I get back on WoW. That's pretty impressive for a story to do that IMO. Besides that, I'm really curious as to what Celestia and Luna will think of Al'ar. Maybe I missed it, but how along into Cata is this? 4.1, 4.2?
2931610
He sensed the pillow fight usually a pervert's dream come true I believe
2931610 His sixth sense kicked in due to the hot, drunk mares getting into a pillow fight. You have no idea how many pornos start off exactly the same.....minus the mares....for the most part.
And another great chapter, I too was wondering when RD and Rarity were going to but heads about RD and Matt's ...extra curricular activities.
Some awesome shit better happen soon
Jokes, interesting chapter
...........yes..........
And another hilarious funny chapter that makes me sometimes
2932606 2932512 This is me for not realising that:
This is my award to you two for explaining it:
Another great chapter. Really liking the story so far, and i know it's going to be only better from here. Shame no Druids in the story so far, they would most likely make the story even better. No offence to Paladins off course :D
just make Twilight and Matt date already
2931230 Got a good eye, that's for sure. you can't help but wonder...
Damn it, Applejack, you're falling behind... Well, at least it seems as though one thing hasn't changed about Tucker- he's still like Superman. He knows when he's needed.
Did'nt Applejack kiss matt on the neck after the reception?Technically that's still kissing him...
making her squeak and jump into air
regarding her with worried and mildly annoyed expression
Matt would caught up to her without much problem
If you two would decide to be together, I would happily found another stallion
Are you seriously going to give me a relationship’s advices
It was few days
When I did you kissed Matt
Ups, I didn’t mention that
However, the next moment she facial expression changed into thoughtful one
Twilight was at the loss for words
saw you few times
the library record shows that there are supposed to be here
1. Making her squeak and jump into the air.
2. Regarding her with a worried and mildly annoyed expression.
3. Catch.
4. If you two would decide to be together I would have happily found another stallion.
5. Are you seriously going to give me relationship advice.
6. It was a few days.
7. When did you kiss Matt.
8. Oops.
9. Her.
10. A.
11. Saw you a few times.
12. The library record shows that there are supposed to be some here.
I'm probably one of the few who hopes Matt ends up with someone other than twilight. Probably rarity or fluttershy. I feel like both would have very interesting relation dynamics, with fluttershy keeping arthas rage under control, and him being able to act more kingly around rarity.
As the others looked at her, confused, she explained, blushing: “I want to get better at it, okay?! Those jokes Matt makes from time to time about me ‘really being the fastest pony’ can get really annoying sometimes.”
Oh yeah that is a huge problem with women, having too many orgasms during sex.
I am pretty sure that is the goal is it not? Women train to have as many as possible, not as few as possible. I have seen this in a few stories and I really can't even begin to grasp where you are coming from with this.
That ending.. oh my Celestia. I hurt from laughter.
2931230 Don't worry. He's got Blessing of Protection
Hmmm... girl talk... yep, makes sense! Girls talk about sex :D
no seriously >.> As far as i know, lots more females are open about such subjects, while more guys are likely to just go 'why are you talkin to 'me' about your sex life?, are you a fag or sumthin?' >.> [Notice that i said 'more' instead of implying all XD there's plenty of exceptions, but this is the majority in my experience... I just get tired of hearing it though and tune people out XD]
Okay, first of the:
part made my day!
And if I can be honest - when Rainbow started lookhng for books on a "special subject" I thought that she got pregnant from...khh...Mattie...
4525207 You're not alone!
Oh right, she only kissed Rainbow, twice.
4941491 Correction: She only made out with rainbow twice
2930206 I would like to point out, that Rainbow would like to brag. Especially if she is the only non-virgin and only one with experience. Especially under peer pressure.
Wait.Pinkie tasted cotton candy as well?
So...where did the flavor come from?
People complain about vulgarity. Kisses, sex. But you missed the main thing, anime clichés, they are everywhere.
11238962
Yeah, ugh... I wish I could change SO much from that first year...
