Rainbow's Progress & Heated Ponies Survey! · 1:26am Apr 24th, 2013
Okay, just a few things for tonight's update, including another survey.
First, I'm making more headway on Rainbow's story - "Making The Rainbow Shine". The events following the first love scene are coming along nicely. I just need to look over the key scene, which I just wrote tonight. Then the next crucial part will begin, and it will be a very emotional part of the story. I'm not completely certain how this part will go. It's probably going to be a series of highlighted scenes form the passage of a few days, and will build into a final powerful scene that will lead into the story's second love scene, which will then leave the stage set for the finale. Presently, I have 13,323 words. When I first dreamed up this story, back in late August, I never dreamed it would be any longer than maybe 10,000 words. Man, was I wrong. lol, oh well.
I do apologize for this taking longer than planned. I just wanted to properly connect to Rainbow's character and make sure this story conveys what I wanted it to. So, I will need to take great care as I work on the last of this. Thankfully, I finally found a song that really fits Rainbow Dash, ironically, it was a brony fan-made song, but I love it! I'll be including it right before the pics of Rainbow I am sharing. Thank goodness for this fandom, I really needed a good song to relate to Rainbow Dash, and thanks to the Aviators, I found it!
Now, I have another quick survey, but before hand, I want to briefly explain my last survey. The reason I asked about meat and whether you would give it up or not, was so I could have food for thought in my stories. For the most part I see many of you don't mind adapting your diets, while others want their meat. So I have some fun ideas for future stories surrounding this topic, thanks to your input.
Okay, as for my current survey. I've been giving more and more thought to the fact that these ponies are, well, ponies. Numerous stories on here depict them as going into heat quite often. Now my question to all of you is this - Should my stories ever involve this matter, ponies going into heat? Or do you think it's something I should just leave out? What are you thoughts on this matter? Do you like the concept, not like it or doesn't it really matter to you? Just something I was curious about.
Well, I'd better be going. Thanks for being so patient everyone! I appreciate it! =D

Rainbow Dash's song - Loyalty (Remix)
Rainbow looks to have come down with the feather flu!
Just a fun pic of Rainbow!
Not only Raindow Dash is cute, but she is awesome.
I'm fine with the concept of heat usually, for me at least, it makes things a little more interesting but if you don't put it in I won't be mad or anything though either so do whatever you like. I will still read it no matter what can't wait for it.
I'm okay with ponies in heat. Hormones make them do likes they don't usually do.
Happy to hear that you are making so much head-way into your story! I almost forgot: all of your stories have a song or two, which further explains how and why it's so big....my gosh, romance, loving, songs...your stories really are epics, aren't they?
Should ponies go into heat? Sure, why not...human women have their menstruation period, ponies have estrus....okay okay, different thing, I know - but still, I have seen in other stories actually, whether for comedic or sexual reasons, Estrus being brought in, and it certainly makes things hotter.....so sure, why not? I'm all for it
My take on heat is that it would be more of a subtle influence if there was heat at all. Considering 'speculatively' Humans evolved past that 'need'. I see it more as a slight increase of sex drive, the mare may not know they are in heat and may make a mistake or something. like this . The story has a good take on heat in my opinion if you don't mind reading through it.
EDIT : Just realized how psychotic I sound given this is all theoretical and about a cartoon pony made for children.
Heat is a fun difference to throw into stories, IMO. It's not a completely alien concept, but it helps point out that hey, these aren't just fuzzy four-legged humans. When done well, it's a nice spice to throw in, but it can also ruin a story if used as a catch-all explanation for OOC behavior or as a random plot twist.
I say throw heat into the mix, to me it’s symbolises more than just a rut, more the ponies emotional, physical and spiritual desires building to one point... hm (chaos theory) If the statement I just said is true, maybe that explains why ponies are naturally good, because they are only conceived in moments of pure love...
I like the concept of ponies having heat it shows more tender moments and "fun" at times.
I would say yes use it your stories because I would like to see how you would portray ponies in your stories having heat.
Ponies-in-heat stories, while generally thin in the idea of long-term plotlines, do make some pretty damn hot (no pun) clopfics.
Though, I bet you'll be one of the rare people to make a serious romance out of it (much like this story is pulling off quite excellently)
That first pic. of Rainbow.........I just can't stop looking at it. Awesome song to.
I LIKE!!!!!!!!!!! 
I have been saving all of those Rainbow pic. but, can we have pony pics. ? Maybe, Pinky Pie, Applejack, Rarity or best princess Luna?
Have you ever thought of doing a crossover love story? You know, like Sonic X Rainbow or........ I don't know.......Link X Applejack? Just saying. I don't know what to say about having the ponies in heat in your stories. I think it mite make them a little more interesting. *thinks of all the rough sex it can make* OH-my.......
*Mumble*
Me: Hay Rainbow, how was your day?
RD: Oh, you the same old stuff. Me and Jaydex finished that love scene in my story. It was sweeeeeeeeeet.
Me: I hope that you remember that I'm your boyfriend and that I'm letting you do this because, I know that he can do it justice.
RD: Man, what are you, my mom. I'm a full grown mare. I can do what I want.
Me:..............................................................
RD: What?
Me: I-I j-j-just don't want to-to lo-lose you.
RD: Aw man, don't cry I'm never going to leave you........ your to cool to leave.
Me: Your just saying that to-
RD: ON I"M NOT. I am the element of loyalty. I never leave my friends,...........not even you.
Me: Thanks Rainbow. I needed that.
RD: That's what I'm here for. Now, if you don't mined, I'm going to play me some Fallout 3.
Me: Oh, look out for that alien DLC its a little buggy.
RD: Ok.
Me: Now, back to that comment...............FUCK, I forgot to turn off my thing.........*turns off 'thing'*
So, yeah, can't wait for that RD story, the Luna and Celestia updates. Keep up the good work.
Stay strong and pony ON.
Like humans, Ponies should be able to enjoy making love at any time whenever they please, and yet... there should be 'heats' I think; certain times of the year when there is increased sexual drive or chance of fertility; though not to the point where a mare becomes a sex-obsessed maniac.
Not Rainbow Dash related...
----------
(Luna plays Dead Space...)
As she watched David's car leave - for he was heading to work for the day - Princess Luna pouted, her lower lip trembling, her eyes misty. Then, a moment later she snapped out of it and went back into her beloved's house. "'Tis... 'Tis fine!" She sniffed. "Our beloved told us that He wouldst be attending his place of work today. Now let's see..." Making her way into the living room, Luna eyed the Playstation 3 David had thoughtfully set up for her and - as she seated herself before the huge widescreen television, closing the curtains with her magic - she perused the games which David had selected for her. "Hmm... now which one shall we play...?" pondered she.
Unfortunately, David had been running a bit late this morning. Unfortunately, in his haste to leave he'd simply pulled a random selection of games from the shelf. And unfortunately... Luna picked from that random selection a game that, well... she really shouldn't have.
"'Dead... Space...?'" read Luna as she peered at the cover. "What is this... 'Dead Space'?" Intrigued, with her magic she placed the DVD into the console, then reset the machine and waited for the disc to load. When the game began with a computerized message, Luna leaned forward slightly.
STATUS UPDATE...
USG KELLION EN ROUTE TO AEGIS SYSTEM
PRIMARY MISSION ASSETS...
...ISAAC CLARKE - ENGINEERING AND SHIP SYSTEMS SPECIALIST...
...KENDRA DANIELS - COMPUTER SPECIALIST...
...ZACH HAMMOND - CHIEF SECURITY OFFICER...
DIRECTIVE A: LOCATE MINING VESSEL USG ISHIMURA...
DIRECTIVE B: DIAGNOSE AND REPAIR COMMUNICATIONS BLACKOUT...
TIME TO CONTACT: 3 MINUTES...
''Shield' System'? What is this 'USG Kellion'? And a machinist, a female who fixes devices such as this 'Playstation' and a Guardspony?' thought Luna, intrigued. 'A Mining Vessel? How can a seafaring ship be used for mining ore; unless it be used to haul cargo...' A moment later, the cryptic message vanished into static; then the static resolved itself into the face of a clearly distressed human female. A frown creased Luna's muzzle as she looked on.
"Isaac, it's me. I wish I could talk to you. I'm sorry. I'm sorry about everything. I wish I could just talk to someone. It's all falling apart here. I can't believe what's happening... It's strange... such a little thing..."
'Who is this woman?' thought Luna. 'For what is she apologizing? And... she is lonely?' A moment later - when the woman's message dissolved into static and the view pulled back to reveal the deck of the USG Kellion - Luna's eyes visibly widened as she beheld a number of humans; they all were travelling aboard a chariot the likes of which she'd never seen before and all wore some kind of sophisticated suit. With bated breath, the Princess of the Night continued to watch events unfold.
"How many times have you watched that thing? Guess you really miss her. Don't worry, we're almost there. You'll be able to look her up once we're onboard. Sounds like you two have a lot of catching up to do."
'Thou must be the one called "Kendra,"' thought Luna; then her jaw dropped as the USG Kellion exited Hyperspace and for the first time she beheld the star-filled vista and the shattered moon of Aegis-7. 'This...' thought she, 'this is incredible...'
"All right everyone, we're here. Synching our orbit now."
'... Thee of darkened shade must be the Guardspony, the one called "Hammond," thought Luna, still in awe of what was on the screen before her.
"All this trouble over that chunk of rock."
"Deep space mining is a lucrative business, Ms. Daniels..."
'"Deep space" mining?' thought Luna, somewhat overwhelmed. 'Then...'
"...Aegis 7 is a gold mine, according to prospector's reports. Cobalt, Silicon, Osmium... Now, where is she? There she is. We have visual contact."
For the first time, Luna beheld the sight of the USG Ishimura, and a gasp escaped her as once again her jaw lowered with her awe. 'That' thought she, 'is no seafaring vessel! Thee and the 'USG Kellion'... they art chariots that voyage through my stars!' Grinning, Luna clapped her hooves together with glee before returning her attention to the screen.
"So that's the Ishimura? Impressive..."
"The USG Ishimura. Biggest Planetcracker in her class. And it looks like they already popped the cork."
"Why is it all dark? I don't see any running lights."
"Corporal, take us in closer and hail them. And stay clear of the debris field. We're here to fix their ship, not the other way around."
"USG Ishimura, this is the emergency maintenance team of the USG Kellion responding to your distress call. Come in Ishimura."
"You're going to need to boost the signal if their power is low."
"Yes, we know. Boost the signal. More."
"Never heard of a total communications blackout on one of these things. You'd think with a thousand people on board, someone would pick up the phone--"
'A "thousand" humans,' thought Luna, awed, 'Thy star-faring chariot... why, it must be enormous - larger than even our Royal Palace...'
Unintelligible
Luna frowned. 'Something is amiss here...' thought she.
"What is that?"
"It's a busted array like we thought. Sounds like they're having problems with their encoder. You get us down there and Isaac and I can fix it. Forty-eight hours max."
"Alright, you heard the lady. Take us in. Let's see what needs fixing."
"Gravity tethers engaged. Automatic docking procedure is go."
Suddenly, a frightened gasp escaped Luna as the USG Kellion was rocked by an explosion! "Oh, no..." she breathed, her heart beginning to pound.
"What the hell?"
"Sir! The autodock-"
"What is it?"
"We're off track! We're going to hit the hull!"
Luna was riveted - her heart was thumping in her chest - she couldn't pull herself away; this was hoof-biting; she was on the edge of her seat...
"Hit the blast shields! Their guidance tether is damaged! Switch to manual. NOW!"
"Inside the magnetic field? Are you insane?! Abort!"
"NO! We can make it inside! Corporal, I gave you an order!"
"Argh, the field's too strong!"
White light suddenly obscured Luna's view of the game and she cried out with terror - 'this game has not yet even begun and thee all have met thy end!' - as terrible grinding sounds reverberated throughout the Kellion before everything went black...
Then... a light flickered as the ship's systems restarted and - as the Princess of the Night saw its occupants get to their feet and the blast shields retract - she breathed a huge sigh of relief!
"Is everyone okay?"
"What...? What the hell were you thinking?! Were you trying to get us killed?"
"I just saved our asses, Ms. Daniels! If we had aborted at that speed and distance, we would have smashed right into the side of the Ishimura. Now settle down, and let's get to work. Corporal, report!"
Luna kept watching, her heartbeat slowing down as the pilot - Corporal Chen - reported on the Kellion and Isaac donned his helmet. 'The machinist Isaac?' thought she. 'He is the one we shalt be playing as in this game? Intriguing, though his suit does seem somewhat more sophisticated than those worn by the others...'
"I'm not getting any readings from the port booster and we've lost comms and autopilot. It'll take some time to fix."
"All right, let's get some extra hands from the flight deck to help out."
Luna kept watching as on-screen, Kendra turned around and walked up to Isaac.
"Hold still, Isaac, I'm synching up everyone's RIGs with the ship...
'"RIGs"' thought the Lunar Diarch. 'Pray tell, what are these "RIGs" she speakest of?' Then, Luna watched as Isaac's suit was activated, the spinal bar along his back lighting green. 'Ah' she realized, 'Tis part of his suit!'
Okay, we're done. Clean bill of health for everyone."
"All right. We've still got a job to do. We're moving out."
A short time later...
As the first Necromorph - a Slasher - decapitated Corporal Johnston, Luna cried out in horror, tears misting her eyes. Then...
"Jesus! Open fire! Open fire!"
"Kendra! Power!"
... Luna choked as a second Slasher entered the room in similar fashion to the first, and jumped on Corporal Chen.
"Kendra...!"
"Come on... come on. Got it!"
"Isaac, get the hell out of there!"
"The door's unlocked, run!"
Near-sick with terror, Luna took control of Issac and made the Engineer run through the door; but even then it wasn't over - another scream was torn from the pony princesses throat as a Slasher began to chase him! On and on she made him run until at last he reached the first Elevator. A sigh of relief escaped Luna as the door slammed closed; a sigh that became a scream of terror as the Slasher forced the elevator door open and roared in Issac's face! Then, the poor princesses heart stilled as the elevator door slammed closed, tearing the Slasher's arms off. Pausing a moment, Luna gasped and clutched her chest! Never had she played a game like this! Never had she been so horrified in her life. It was horrible; it was gruesome, macabre, awful... and yet... and yet... She couldn't look away. She... she could not set it down! Steeling herself, the Princess of the Night picked up the Playstation 3 Controller and made to resume playing.
Three hours later...
"Huzzah!" the Moon Princess crowed as she blew the limbs off of yet another Necromorph, killing it. "Thy limbs are dismembered, foul thing! Fear the might of thy blessed Plasma Cutter! Behold the strength of thy Mighty Boot-Stomp! Away, away with thee, Tartarus-spawned legions!" This was the scene David came home to that night - Luna having a blast as she played this game that - David thought privately - she really ought not to be playing. 'Ah, shit...' thought he, 'Celestia's gonna kill me...'
I'm not very bothered if either you do or don't incorporate 'heat' in your stories, you ask me.
Now about that feather flu picture:
You're sure she's not hot-blooded? Check it and see.
She may have a fever of a hundred and three.
lol I seriously could not let it slip through my fingers.
Thir-13,323 words?
img.pandawhale.com/39728-Damn-good-stuff-sir-evBa.gif
I don't mind waiting for this story as it sounds like you are really going all out for this and that means a lot to me since this story will be about my favorite pony!
By the way, that first image, if you haven't already, you should check out the other pony images that artist has drawn as they are very good in my opinion.
As for your new survey, I would like to see how you would handle the whole ponies going into heat thing. But if you don't want to do it, that's fine by me too.
I love the thought of a mare in heat trying to get you to bed her. That idea excites me quite a lot.
1030590 *cough* *cough*
... E-Excuse me?
... Wait, what am I talking about? There are plenty of clopfics that go like that...
... then again there are also plenty of comedy fics that go like that.
1030595 What? You don't like the idea??
1030597 You kiddin'!? That's why I wear latex gloves when I get SERIOUS with my clopfic reading, proofreading, and reviewing! I haven't worn them in a while, but I've been taking to quite a few Dash-related stories lately...
Heck, I just came back from a foot-fetish-themed story of a human, of-age Sweetie Belle and Big Macintosh... Why not throw in a bit of variety? 'sides, if I recall, they helped with The Core of an Apple... so I should really check a story or two of Jaydex's.
1030604 Lol Good on ya, mate. Also... You have yet to read any of his stories? Jay makes my stories look mediocre at best.
Outright regarding the ponies going into heat... keep it in consideration, but don't try to make it the premise because of how easy it is to get by (one rut and it's essentially done).
Try to make it a sub-plot and develop it as an obstacle that a character (be it Rainbow or another protagonist) has to somehow deal with. The emotion can be deeply delved into through it, after all... Restraint, limits, lust, not to mention you can basically paint their personality however you want!
The 'heat' cycle is actually a bit overused, but not heavily utilized to it's fullest. It can easily be brought into a "Do you love me, or do you lust for me?" sub plot through a romantic main plot. A moment of recognition and clarity through the most troubling of times for a mare... if she can control it.
1030612 It comes down to story length. You know me, I like sitting down and going through a story in one full go. Heh... Ironically, I have about 5 or 6 from him on my Read Later list, and I seek to change that ASAP from 'read later' to 'read NOW!'.
After all, everyone could use a constructive review while I wait for being called in as an editor, huh?
1030625 Yeah that is true, But they are worth spending an extra 20-30min to finish. imo The only sad thing is I haven't read any of his newest fics and feel bad enough for that. lol
Rainbow Dash Is sick get the cough drops and the ice pack.
on the subject of heat I go either way it doesn't bother me.
I can't wait for the story.
1030647 20 to 30 MINUTES!?
You forget that I proofread as well... That's quite a few hours extra! 
Of course, that'd be assuming Jaydex is prone to errors... I doubt it, though, but I've only come across about one story in FIFTY that had no errors, and another that only had one error in it, again, of the same fifty (I even remember the author's reaction of 'CELESTIA DAMN IT!' when I pointed it out: I can tell they were careful to not make visible mistakes, but sometimes one just slips through the cracks!
).
Actually, last night I was just starting "More Than Their Customer", 'til I was just too exhausted to stay awake. Thankfully, I didn't get more than a paragraph in, so the read will still 'feel' fresh.
Oddly enough, what interests me the most is their stories of Nurse Redheart, but the ones on my Read Later list are the Twilight Sparkle stories, so his newest stories. Of course, I plan to make sure they ALL pass my critical standards of critique and review.
1030905 LOl This is true, I can only say good luck with that. Though, I am fairly certain you'll do more reading then correcting with his fics, though you may find a couple. Either way, take the chance when you get it. His RedHeart fics are really cute, though some dislike some of its contents.
1030908 I suppose so, with regards to doing more 'reading'!
Amazingly, you and Jaydex both have the same habit of mixing past/present tenses.
I was honestly a bit surprised at that! 
1030933 Well, I guess in a big way, Jaydex is my biggest inspiration. I guess in more ways then one. Lol
1030935 Hmm... So I should just read YOUR fics and call them Jaydex's?
1030936 Pfft! Hardly, I said he is my biggest inspiration. I didn't say I copied his style.
1030939 Hey, you steal souls, and that's kinda like stealing stories when you think about it in Dash logic!
Nah, just kidding. I should really stop going back and forth from the story in the other tab.
1030940 Lol! Well, I guess if by going by Dashie logic... But then we'd get nowhere.
Though, Jaydex will end up seeing this conversation and be like 'what the heck'. lol
1030943 I just get this idea of him writing on a sticky note: "Don't let users with hooded avatars into blog".
1030946 Lol! That or adding a turret to automatically target hooded avatars.
1030590
...You mean like, happy...Right...?
Late to the party, I am. But I'll not let that stop me from a quick commentary before running off.
Firstly, I find myself looking forward to yon Rainbow story more with each update. Thank you for keeping the peoples informed.
As for the question/survey whatnot, I like stories involving heat. However, I find it amusing when authors think they know what it is when they don't (though of course liberties may be taken in the name of making for a better story).
Specifically, I find endless amusement when authors treat equine estrous cycles as identical to canine estrous cycles. Actual mares go into heat roughly once a month (with some natural individual variance) save during the colder times of the year. I have yet to see this employed for whatever reason.
It also does not in any way turn them into sex maniacs (again, unlike canines).
All that said, one is entitled to treat it as one wishes in one's own stories.
So in closing: I like. It usually makes me chuckle, but I like.
Well, it doesn't really matter to me. What I like in the heat thing, is that is kinda kinky and hilarious, when the ponies are trying to seduce a human and they will be like: ''O_o wut? :$''
It also helps to make ponies confess their love and so on, so I saw you should do it.
1030933 & 1030935
I don't mind if two users go back and forth in one of my blogs, I just don't want any flame wars going on. That's all, so you hooded avatar users are fine! 
I've been enjoy your little conversation.
Now, 1030933, I would like to point out one thing about the mixing past and present tenses. First off, I write my 2nd-person stories in present tense, however, there are times that past tense verbs are required. For example:
A. When something that just recently happened is begin referred to.
B. You are summing up an event that happened leading up to the beginning of the next part of the present tense story.
C. You are offering up a summary flashback or a past tense summation to help with covering back-story.
D. Another usage of past tense in a present tense story is to describe an action that just happened only moments ago. ie: Rainbow Dash sighs as she relishes the way you had just stroked her mane.
And I've yet to have any in-depth reviewer bark at me for mixing tenses. Usually they don't like how "cheesy" my romances are, which many love, and some readers don't care for my dialogue.
If you are one of those users who offers reviews, I'd certainly enjoy seeing what you have to say about any of my stories. I just hope you liked them.
1030572
Well originally I though this was going to be a quicky one-shot, but in light of some new things and the way I'm adding to Dash's character, I've had to make the first love scene a bit different. It's so not just a quick kiss, a little touching, followed by wam bam thank you ma'am type thing. So yeah, I am going all out. I want to show a different side of Rainbow, one that lets her still be the daring ace flier we all know and love but at the same time a bit deeper and more caring that we ever realized before. Plus I chose to put in a short scene showing how you first met Rainbow Dash and then a little summary of the events that followed along with some of you background in Ponyville. And that's only what I have so far in a nutshell. Taking my time and planning out some things last night, I've already overcome a potential hurdle without even being slowed down at all.
1030491
Thank you for that my friend! It made me grin!
1030736
Whoa, I said that, didn't I?
I'll say, let's cool this hot mare off.
1030415
And don't worry, Rainbow Dash is in good hands.
I just don't have time for crossovers. Besides, I've got plenty of other stories loaded on my plate that you should enjoy. I can get other pics, I just like share pics of the mare of the moment, and lately it's been Rainbow Dash. I can throw in a few others for good measure though.
Say, did you ever go to Build-a-Bear? If you didn't, Rainbow is still waiting for you!
1031045 Well, I just hope you like long, explanatory review segments that seem like they're the size of the average adventure story's prologue!
I do all three: Read, Proofread, and Review the story. This is for the committed authors, who enjoy entertaining others with their stories enough to want the stories to be perfectly written, in terms of grammatic or spelling errors. For the authors who put genuine effort into their work in order to make it come out as something they could be proud of.
Basically, you make the brass candelabra, I just provide the polish.
Of course, my reviews can be both pleasant and harsh, as I try to make sure to cover flaws worth considering, and positive writing traits worth building upon.
I'd go into detail, but I'm already reading the story, so I might as well get back over to it.
1031062 Ok, the crossovers were just a thought. I went to Build-a-bear yesterday. Now, I can snuggle with her when ever I want.
I wish it was the real thing though.
Food for thought: Would you put a fans OC in one of your stories as a easter egg are something?
put the heat stuff in there if dont right it makes a great story
1031062 Eeyup
on a related note, this is just my opinion but I'd find it hilarious if one of the couples from your stories met another couple from another of your stories.
I don't mind ponies in heat :] As long as you stay awesome I will keep reading and liking all of your fics :D (Your awesome level is too high to go down! It just keeps getting higher!)
1031062 I aim to please. Sometimes.
1030964 Yes, yes it does.
1031045 Lol I would just leave if it were to start a flame war. Unless it dealt with a subject that I am passionate about. But that in its self, is a different subject. Lol
1031747 I'd go to town with a mare any day!
But on the other hand, I get conflicting thoughts when it comes to estrus.
On one hand, it's a natural thing and should be celebrated, since it's how
mares can beget foals. It might also bring partners closer together.
But on the other hand, it can be abused. Throwing oneself at anyone just for
pleasure can make people, specifically partners, jealous or angry. It might
also be construed as (an excuse for) exploitation upon the male, since
stallions (males) are somewhat subservient to mares (females), because
of Equestria's naturally matriarchal society and a tendency to give mares
the upper hand (consider the concept of herds and "boss mares") since
they have way more females than males over there.
(So in that case, better have either humans at their disposal over there to take care of 'em or pony birth control so they don't get pregnant during that time should you decide to tread those waters!)
1032199 Moral of the story, don't fall asleep in a room full of mares in heat.
(Daniel and Celestia go to the Beach...)
"Are you sure we should be doing this?" Daniel asked again as he and Princess Celestia made their way onto the beach. Warmed by the sun, the fine-grained sand gave way 'neath the hooves of the white Alicorn, causing her to stumble; though whenever she did, Daniel would always be there to support her. "Bah," said she, "who cares! Besides, after that Faust-damned fiasco with the Gryphons, we deserve a break! Just look around you, Daniel. Sun, sand, surf, moi... What more could you ask for?" Chuckling quietly - eying her glorious equinoid form - Daniel grinned and then, roguishly winking at her, he responded, "What more indeed...?" He made as if to grope the pony princess, then, but it was all play; neighing with laughter, the pony princess danced away from him, then gasped as if scandalized, "You... you lecherous swine! Keep thy hands off of me!" In jest, his own laughter rumbling forth, the human replied teasingly, "Oh, yeah? Well, if I'm a lecherous swine then you're a randy old horse! Come 'ere...!" That said, he then made as if to grope her again.
Sticking her tongue out at him - "Blyeaaah!" - Celestia turned tail and bolted, kicking up sand that went everywhere! Daniel wasn't going to put up with this - his very pride as a human being was on the line - and so, the chase was on! Up and down the sandy beach they ran, Daniel giving a good effort despite the fact that he was only two-legged and not as strong as his beloved. Time and time again he would catch up to Celestia only for her to put on a burst of speed and dart away, pink mane flying in the wind. At the end of the chase - when they were near the end of the beach - Celestia stopped a few feet away from Daniel. "Hah!" crowed she, with a flick of her pink mane as she breathed heavily from the effort of all that running. "I won, I won, I..." The gentlest of tugs on her pink tail brought her unto silence and - frowning - she turned to see what hindered her, only to see a grinning Daniel, with a hand firmly wrapped about its tip. "No..." chortled he as he released her, "I win!"
'Oh, drat...' thought Celestia, 'I really need to get that thing shortened... Still, it has its uses.' With that thought in mind, gently, the Princess of the Sun curled her tail about her beloved's form and pulled him toward her until he was against her side; then, together she and Daniel began to walk leisurely back to where their day at the beach had begun. When they arrived at the shady tree where they'd placed their belongings, the Princess pony settled down upon the beach towel that Daniel had laid out for them both; then Daniel settled by her side and they proceeded to enjoy some of the food that Celestia had 'liberated' from the chefs of the Royal Kitchens. This included simple things that might be eaten by finger-and-hoof as well as various sandwiches, a delicious looking fresh fruit salad, and even some cold cooked fish! "Damn..." said Daniel, eying said fish with no small amount of appreciation, "where'd you get that from, love?"
"Humph..." grumbled Celestia, snorting softly through her nose, "it was supposed to be a gift for the Gryphon Ambassador. After that stunt he tried to pull during the summit, however, he's not getting it any more; it's yours to enjoy now, Daniel." Stroking her mane soothingly as she resumed eating, the human murmured, "Aww, thank you sweetie..." He and Celestia lapsed into comfortable silence as they continued eating the provided food--all of which was accompanied by various soft drinks from the Solar Diarch's secret stash of junk food that she kept inside a heavily warded ice box 'neath a powerful invisibility wreath inside their shared quarters. 'And what a stash it is!' thought Daniel as he sipped a sparkling lemonade. 'There's all-manner of sweets and other foods in there that I've never even heard of! I know for a fact that if she knew even half of what was in that stash, Pinkie would kill to get at it; not to mention that Aesculapius would tear strips off of my love's coat...' Upon noticing the grin adorning Daniel's face, the Solar Princess couldn't help but ask, "What are you thinking about, my Daniel?" Chuckling, Daniel told her, and his words soon brought about her own laughter as she replied, "Yes, indeed they would...!"
"What..." Daniel guffawed, "what about Discord? Would he steal the stash, d'you reckon?" At first, Celestia didn't answer; instead, for a moment she near-laughed her sun-stamped flank off, before she finally managed to choke out, "N-No! Not when he was the one who put the ever-filling box together for me in the first place!" At this, Daniel - his eyes wide and jaw dropped open - blinked and then exclaimed, "You're kidding...?" Shaking her head, Celestia replied, "No I'm not; he put it together for me as a gesture of apology for... events that happened a long time ago. It's history." Sensing that she didn't want to talk further about said events, Daniel nodded and then, "Come on" said he, "let's finish up here; then we'll go and explore the beach, eh?" At his words, the Solar Princess smiled gratefully; then together she and Daniel proceeded to finish their delicious picnic meal before packing away the remnants into the basket they'd brought with them so as not to litter the beach. Shortly thereafter, Celestia and her human napped in the sun for a few hours to allow the food they'd eaten to digest.
When they awakened it was mid-afternoon and - after a gentle stretch - Daniel and Celestia explored the beach as explorers are wont to do, the Great Mare Celestia cutting loose in her happiness as she and her beloved rolled and played in the sand; built a replica sand castle of Canterlot Palace then proceeded to stomp it to dust; and explored the many cliffside caves and rock pools scattered about, Celestia fascinated by all the teeming life within. Finally - their bodies absolutely covered with sand - Daniel and his beloved Solar Mare entered the water and therein they swam, frolicked and played... When at last, afternoon turned to eve... Daniel and Celestia made sweet, sweet love in the frothy shallows, alicorn and human crying out in bliss as they brought each other unto the heights of pleasure again, and again, and again, until... "AHEM!" the sharp sound of the Royal Canterlot Voice cracked through the night like a whip, shattering the silence. Startled, Daniel and Celestia sprang away from each other, the Princess of the Sun moving to stand over her beloved mate as she turned to face the direction from whence the sound had come. 'Who disturbs our Union?' thought she, savagely, whinnying in challenge. 'I would know for they will die...!' She was prepared to kill to defend her beloved mate... however, when she saw whom it was that had disturbed Daniel and herself, those thoughts vanished. Luna, a squad of Royal Guard, and an aide stood before her... and they did not look happy.
I only come for the pictures. UNF.
Kidding. As for the heat thing, I think "Xenophilia" handles that subject quite nicely.
