//------------------------------// // Chapter 10: Five Accidental Kisses and One Not-So-Accidental One // Story: The Inane Adventures of Hazelnut Latte // by Porcelain Mug //------------------------------// The funeral and reception had gone off without a hitch. Everypony had a good time and Pinkie Pie couldn't have been more pleased. The reception had been held at the home of Lady Garden's grandfather, Candle Flicker. Most of the guests had left, leaving behind Candle Flicker, Lady Garden, and Big Macintosh. The trio had watched everypony leave. After a momentary silence, Candle Flicker spoke up. "Well, it was a good funeral. Bean would've approved." the elderly earth pony said. He looked over at a piece of furniature and sighed. "You okay, Grandpa?" Lady Garden asked. "Just never thought ah'd bury yer pa and yer husband less than two years apart." Candle Flicker explained. "See that over there? It's a humidor. Yer pa and ah were gonna smoke a couple cigars when you and Herb Garden eventualy had a few young'uns." "Yeah." Lady Garden said softly. "Everypony liked Herb." Big Macintosh nodded and said, "Eeyup. Ah never seen you smile like you did when you married Herb Garden." Candle Flicker chuckled and said, "Little Missy here, the funny thing, surprised everypony when she made you her, ah think the word she used was 'Stallion of Honor'. 'Course, you remember that 'cause you were there. Yer lucky she didn't make you wear a dress!" Big Macintosh nodded awkwardly and said, "Eeyup." "The fascinator was a bit much, though." Candle Flicker added. "Of course, yer the one who chose ta wear it." "Grandpa!" Lady Garden hissed. "Well, it's true." Candle Flicker shrugged. He then chuckled wistfully and said, "Herb Garden was a good match for you. Funny thing is that yer pa and ah always half-expected you to end up marryin' Mac over here." Candle Flicker elbowed the larger stallion good-naturedly, which just seemed to embarrass Big Macintosh further. "Grandpa, yer bein' silly." Lady Garden rolled her eyes. "Well, we did." Candle Flicker said with a smile. "After all, you two were best friends growin' up. Ah remember you two playin' house and Mac was pretendin' to be 'Macintosh Flicker'." Big Macintosh looked like he was feeling extremely awkward. "I remember, Grandpa." Lady Garden said. "We were just foals back then. 'Sides, I ain't really in the datin' pool right now." "Bah!" Candle Flicker waved his hoof dismissively. "Yer only in yer thirties, Little Missy. Ya got plenty of time to find sompony. Herb Garden wouldn't want ya to be unhappy. Anyways, do either of ya want a cigar?" "Ah don't smoke." Big Mac admitted. "Really?" Candle Flicker raised a brow. "Ah seen yer granny smokin' a cigar every now and again. If ya change yer mind, mah offer still stands. They're good 'uns. Ah got 'em from Aroma Cigar Shop and Lounge. It's a nice place in Canterlot, run by a nice stallion named Robusto. He knows his cigars." Lady Gardern rolled her eyes. "You and yer cigars, Grandpa!" "If or when ya ever get married again, ah'll get out the real good cigars and we'll have a smoke together." Candle Flicker said with a smile. "Don't deny it, ah seen ya buyin' a couple at Grand Corona's place. Ta be honest, he ain't as good as Robusto." "I ain't gonna talk about cigars right now." Lady Garden said insistantly. Candle Flicker chuckled and said, "All right. Anyway, it's gettin' late and you two should get home." He looked at Big Macintosh and said, "Ya'd better get mah granddaughter home safely, ya hear?" Big Macintosh nodded and said, "Eeyup. Ah mean, yes sir." "Good." Candle Flicker said as he guided them to the door. "Y'all have a safe night, alright?" Lady Garden smiled and said, "Good night, Grandpa!" With that, Big Macintosh and Lady Garden headed off. Most of the trip went in comfortable silence before the red stallion spoke up. "Ah'm really sorry about Herb." Lady Garden smiled and said, "It's not yer fault, Mac. You couldn't have known that the cart weel would break. You didn't push him off the bridge." Big Macintosh looked away and said, "Ah should've checked that cart better." "Mac, it was a freak accident." Lady Garden said. "It still ain't fair that yer alone." Big Macintosh said softly. "Like I said at Grandpa's, I ain't exactly in the datin' pool." Lady Garden said, looking away. Big Macintosh cleared his throat and said, "Well, maybe ya should consider it?" "It ain't proper." Lady Garden replied. "Mah husband has been dead for less than two years." "Herb Garden never cared 'bout proper." Big Mac replied. "He wouldn't mind if ya moved on." "Mac, there ain't nopony out there who could replace Herb." Lady Garden said, sounding a bit irritated. "Ain't nopony askin' ya ta replace Herb." Big Mac said. "Maybe ya could find somepony who loved ya just as much as Herb did?" "Is there even a pony like that out there?" Lady Garden questioned. Big Mac shuffled his hooves awkwardly. "There could be." he replied. "I've never looked." Lady Garden said softly. "'Sides, I'm a used-up widow and there are plenty of fresh-faced, young, single mares out there to pick from. Who would love a used-up widow like me?" Big Mac stopped walking. In a soft voice, barely more than a whisper, the stallion said, "Ah would." Lady Garden froze. She slowly turned around and asked, "What was that?" Big Mac looked up and met her eyes. "Ya heard me." "You didn't just say what I thought I heard you say." Lady Garden frowned. "Ya can't have meant it." "Ah ain't gonna lie to ya." Big Mac said honestly. "Ah love you." In a soft, weak voice, Lady Garden asked, "For how long?" "Since we were fifteen." Big Macintosh admitted. Lady Garden shook her head. "It ain't possible. Yer the finest stallion and farm pony that Ponyville has ever seen. Why would you love a pony who can't even farm?" Big Mac frowned. "Now you see here! Ya got a smile that could light up half a' Equestria an' a heart just as big. Yer eyes sparkle when yer happy and when ah see ya like that, it's like seein' the stars. Ya been mah best friend since ah was eight years old. Yer smart, yer funny, and yer darn good at makin' ponies feel better. It's like ya make everypony want to be better, go grow like those pea plants that ya grow." He looked the mare directly in the eyes. "Ah love you, Firefly Flicker!" Lady Garden froze for a while before saying, "Say that again." "Ah love you." Big Macintosh stated once more. "Not that." Lady Garden corrected. "Mah Name." "Firefly Flicker." Big Macintosh repeated. "Firefly Flicker." Lady Garden said softly as the two began walking again. "Nopony has called me that in a while. For ten years, I was 'Lady Garden'. I wouldn't change those years with Herb Garden, not at all. It's just that I haven't been... I haven't been me anymore. Herb never wanted that. It's just that his parents..." "You'll always be Firefly Flicker to me." Big Mac said with a smile. "It wouldn't hurt ya to be Firefly Flicker again." Lady Garden was silent for a while as they walked. Soon, they reached the Flicker Plantation. They stopped by the front porch when they reached the house. The buttermilk-colored mare turned to face her best friend of so many years. "Are ya sure that you feel that way about me?" she asked. "I mean, I've already been married once." "Ah know Herb and ah know that he would've wanted ya to move on." Big Macintosh said with a smile. "Ah wouldn't mind bein' the one ya move on to." He looked at her shyly. "If you'll have me." Lady Garden- no, Firefly Flicker looked up at the big stallion and smiled. "If I were to pick anypony, it would be you. Mac, ya know me better than even Herb did." Big Macintosh smiled at his old friend. Firefly Flicker smiled back. She looked over at the door before looking at the stallion. "Would you like to come in?" she asked. "I'll get a couple a' cold beers out a' the fridge an' we can just talk." Big Macintosh smiled wider and said, "Eeyup." ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Two Weeks Later Twilight let out a huff as she tried once again in vain to find a way to reverse the Switcharoo Punch's effects. As knowledgable as she was about magic, the issue with Cutie Marks was outside her area of expertese. The alicorn grumbled under her breath as she put away her books and started mopping up the floor. A crystal castle tended to show dirt easily. After spending a few minutes washing the floor, Twilight heard the sound of hoofsteps approaching. She looked up to see Sugar Shock standing at the edge of the room. The unicorn smiled and asked, "Have you had any luck?" Twilight sighed and said, "No. How about you?" "Me neither." Sugar Shock replied. "It would be easier to find things if everything was organized better." Twilight shot her temporary roommate a halfhearted glare. "I told you, Sugar Shock, I have a system." "If by 'system', you mean 'disorganized mess', then I agree." Sugar Shock said with a smirk. "It's not my fault that you can't find anything." Twilight argued. "Yeah, well you haven't been able to find anything, either." Sugar Shock shot back. "With as many books that are in here, it could take me months to get through them all." Twilight admitted. "Well, we've been stuck like this for fifteen days." Sugar Shock said helpfully. "The antidote to the Switcharoo Punch should be arriving in another 45 days." "That's a month and a half from now!" Twilight groaned, leaning on the mop. "I have to find a spell before the- WAAAAH!" Twilight's weight shifted, causing her to slip on the wet floor. She landed flat on her back and for a moment, she could see stars. She heard Sugar Shock call out, "Twilight!" The confectioner rushed towards the fallen alicorn, only to slip on the floor. She flew through the air before landing on Twilight, knocking the wind out of them both. They were nose to nose and struggling to breathe. The lavender alicorn attempted to move, but instead she only succeeded in moving her face closer to Sugar Shock's. For five long seconds, their lips touched. Then they heard a loud gasp coming from across the room. They turned to see Sugar Shock's identical twin sister. Hazelnut Latte stared at Twilight Sparkle and Sugar Shock. The barista's wide-eyed gaze lingered and was starting to make everypony uncomfortable. Finally, Hazelnut Latte spoke up. "Just what the fuck are you two doing?!" "It's not what it looks like!" Sugar Shock said defensively. "It's not what you think!" "I'm not gay!" Twilight exclaimed. "Are you sure?" Hazelnut Latte raised a brow. "It certainly looked like what I think it looked like." "I was running and I fell on her!" Sugar Shock tried to persuade her sister. "The floor was wet!" Twilight added. "The floor was wet and you 'fell' on Twilight and you happened to land with your mouth on hers?" Hazelnut Latte seemed amused at this. "It wasn't on purpose!" Sugar Shock argued. "The floor was really, really wet!" Spike walked into the room. As he was walking, he spotted Hazelnut Latte and waved at her. "Hey, Hazel!" Suddenly, Spike slipped and landed on his face. "Ow!" He groaned. "Stupid wet floor!" Hazelnut Latte turned to look at the two mares. "Okay, so the floor was wet. Consider yourself two lucky ponies that I don't have a camera with me." A cheerful, high-pitched voice suddenly said, "I do!" Everypony turned to see Pinkie Pie aiming a camera at them. There was a bright flash and Sugar Shock, Hazelnut Latte, and Twilight were momentarily blinded. Oddly enough, a picture printed out from the camera. Pinkie Pie looked at the picture and sniffled. "Our Twilight, sharing her first kiss with the love of her life! She's finally growing up!" Twilight shoved Sugar Shock off of her and shouted, "For the last time, I'M NOT GAY!" "Cheesy Louisey!" Pinkie Pie said. "No need to shout, Twilight! You can take your time. When you eventually do come out, everypony will be here to support you!" Twilight managed to get back on her hooves. She took a deep, deep breath before bellowing, "FOR FUCK'S SAKE, I'M NOT GAY!" Pinkie Pie giggled and said, "Okie Dokie, Twilight! I've got some stuff to do. Pinkie stuff! It's the 42nd weekly anniversary of that Tuesday when I tried peanut butter cups for the first time! I have a party to plan!" With that said, the pink earth pony bounced away. Sugar Shock raised a brow and said, "Oookay..." Hazelnut Latte sighed and said, "I'll make sure she stays out of trouble. You remember last Tuesday Peanut Butter Cup party." Both Twilight and Sugar Shock had full-body shudders. The lavender alicorn looked at Hazelnut Latte and said, "Please do. The fate of Ponyville may count on it." Hazelnut Latte nodded and left the castle to head after Pinkie Pie. She hoped that she wouldn't be too late. ooooooooooooooo Pinkie Pie pranced through the streets of Ponyville, smiling at all the happy things around her. All of the other ponies were smiling and had big, sparkly anime eyes. She was humming quietly and she was happy, happy, happy! She had an amazingtastic party to plan. She would invite all of her friends and make a peanut butter pie and build a party bomb, just like she did last time. Suddenly, she heard the sound of hooves pounding the ground as somepony glalloped to her. Pinkie Pie turned around and saw Hazelnut Latte standing behind her. "Pinkie Pie," Hazelnut Latte said, "You can't use the party bomb." "Why not?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Last time, it covered half of ponyville in confetti, streamers, and hard candy. Thirty ponies were injured." Hazelnut Latte replied. "Six of them were seriously injured! Do you know what hard candies projected in a high speed in all directions can do if they hit a pony?" Pinkie Pie cringed. "Oh." she said. "I hadn't really thought of that." "You can still use your party cannon." Hazelnut Latte Suggested. "Just don't put hard candy in it." Suddenly, Pinkie Pie was right in front of Hazelnut Latte. They were literally nose to nose. "Really?!" Pinkie Pie shreiked happily. "I can use my party cannon?" Hazelnut Latte, in a surprisingly calm voice, asked, "Pinkie, do you remember what I told you about personal space?" "Nope!" Pinkie Pie replied with a grin. Hazelnut Latte's eyes darted around as she saw other ponies passing closer. Clearly they were there to check out what Pinkie Pie was doing. Suddenly, someone bumped into Hazelnut Latte from behind, forcing her lips against the pink earth pony's. Because Pinkie was Pinkie, she slipped the brown-made unicorn a little tongue. Hazelnut Latte stepped back. The expression on her face was that of somepony who was extremely surprised. Pinkie Pie, however, seemed completely unaffected. She grinned once more and said, "You're invited to the party!" Pinkie then began to prance away, leaving a confused and slightly traumatized Hazelnut Latte behind. ooooooooooooooooo Applejack, AKA Jaqueline La Pomme, was currently in Canterlot and she had one objective in mind. She was going to buy a new outfit. She was currently wearing a leaf green, floral print bell sleeve boho midi dress. She also wore a brown fedora. As she walked into Tuille Cascade's Fine Mare's Ware, she spotted a somewhat familiar honey-colored pony with a black mane. Her Cutie Mark was a microphone that was striped like a bee and had bee-like wings on the sides. She recognized her as the lead vocalist of the Bee's Knees, Honey Potts. Inside, Applejack was squeeing. Being in the presence of one of her favorite musicians, the blonde mare lowered the brim of her hat to try not to look at Honey Potts. However, before she knew it, Honey Potts was right in front of her. The dark-hared pegasus grinned broadly and said, "Hey there, babe!" Before Applejack Could say anything, the singer lifted her hat and pressed her lips to hers. Applejack froze. Honey Pots slipped her tongue into Applejack's mouth, creating a situation far too intimate for her to react. She then heard Tuille Cascade say, "You two behave or get out of my shop." Honey Potts backed off and saw that Applejack wasn't who she thought she was. The pegasus mare got a horrified look on her face and stepped away. "I'm so, so sorry!" She apologized. "I thought you were my fiancee!" Applejack laughed nervously. There was a resemblance betwen her and Honey Potts' fiancee, Sugar Cookie. They had the same color of mane and coat and they were both earth ponies, but Sugar Cookie didn't have freckles and had purple eyes. Applejacke cleared her throat and said, "It's, ah, an easy mistake to make." "It's still no excuse." Honey Potts said. "I should have checked to make sure that you were her." "Well, ah forgive you." Applejack replied. Honey Potts nodded and got a better look at Applejack. She smiled and said, "It's Jaqueline, right?" "Yeah." Applejack said. "Jaqueline La Pomme." "Well, Jaqueline La Pomme, is there anything additional that I can do to apologize?" Honey Potts asked. Applejack thought about it for a while before coming up with something. "Well, ah was wonderin' if you could play Wing of Flier at your next performance at the Silk & Feathers." Applejack said. "It's mah favorite song." Honey Potts grinned and said, "I'll talk to the girls about it. I'm pretty sure that Clover Honey, Honey Bunch, Busy Bee, and Bumblefuzz will approve." Applejack couldn't help but grin back. "Whatever ya play, ah just like seein' the Bee's Knees perform." "Well, Jaqueline, I'll leave you to get your dress." Honey Potts said. "I hope that you'll be there next time we're at the Silk & Feathers. See ya!" Honey Potts then turned to leave. Even after she was gone, the grin was still on her face. Even if it had been accidental, she had still been kissed by Honey Potts, lead vocalist of the Bee's Knees. Now she just needed to find a good dress to wear at their next performance. ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo It was another ordinary day for Fluttershy. This time, however, she was house-sitting for Rainbow Dash. The cyan pegasus was off in San Franciscolt for some sort of flier's competition. Naturaly, Fluttershy offered to house-sit as well as watch Tank. She was currently feeding the turtle. "It's time for your meal, Tank." she said softly. "Yummy, yummy. It's good for a turtle." Tank looked at the yellow pegasus before heading down to eat his food. Fluttershy watched for a while, feeling quite pleased. She then headed off to clean the house a bit. Even Rainbow Dash's home was not immune to dirt. Fluttershy turned the radio on and it began to play a classic rock station. She then began to sweep the floor while humming along to the music. After a few minutes, she heard someone knocking on the door. She headed over to open it to see Discord, still trapped in the form of Roguish Jape. "Oh!" Fluttershy said. "Discord, what are you doing here?" "I ran out of pranks to use on ponies that annoyed me." Discord replied. "I'm taking a break for a few hours while I come up with more. I thought I would visit you while I was at it." "Oh, Discord, that's not really necessary." Fluttershy said shyly. "There's not really anything going on here. I'm just cleaning a bit and listening to the radio." "Well, I'll just head in and listen to the radio, then." Discord replied. "Music can be my muse." The lanky pegasus then headed into Rainbow Dash's house. He listened to the music and frowned. "Not my kind of music." He said. Discord then headed over to the radio and began fiddling with the dials until a metal station began to play. The song playing was by one of his favorite bands, Motörhoof. He began to rock out to the music. "Now this is music!" Discord exclaimed. "It's too loud." Fluttershy said. The butter-colored mare then headed over to the radio and started trying to change the station. She and Discord squabbled over the station for a while until a song finally started to play. It was Barry Maneilow's I Can't Smile Without You. Fluttershy blushed faintly and said, "This is probably the kind of music that they'll play at the Autumn Equinox ball." Discord raised a brow. "You were invited?" "Yeah." Fluttershy replied. "Countess High Born and I like to play chess together. She said that I should take a plus one." "Did you have somepony in mind?" Discord asked. He frowned and continued, "Pretty Boy, perhaps?" "Oh, no." Fluttershy replied. "I was thinking about inviting you. You're my best friend." Discord blushed slightly before clearing his throat. "Well, I'd be happy to go with you, Fluttershy." "Thank you!" Fluttershy beamed at Discord, causing him to blush. The yellow peagasus turned away and sighed. "I don't really know how to dance, though." Discord chuckled and said, "Fortunately, I do. Perhaps I should give you a few pointers?" "Oh, that would be nice." Fluttershy replied. "If it's not too much trouble, that is." "It's no problem at all." Discord said with a smirk, which in turn made Fluttershy blush. Discord turned the volume to the radio up. "All right." he said. "Let's take it from the top. I'll lead." Slowly, the two began to dance. It was a bit awkward at first, but eventually Fluttershy became more familiar with the motions. Discord was quite pleased at her progress. "All right," he said, "now I'll show you a little thing called waltzing." The two began to dance again, Discord demonstrating his superb dancing techniques. Fluttershy couldn't help but meet her best friend's eyes. When she saw the charming smirk on his face, she blushed even harder. She wanted to... well, she wasn't sure what she wanted to do. Was she going to kiss him? Was she a kisser? Was Discord a kisser? Her thoughts were interrupted once more when somepony knocked at the door. Discord stepped back and Fluttershy had to suppress a sigh of disappointment. She headed over to the door to see what it was. When she opened the door, she heard a shout of, "Surprise!" Suddenly, somepony was kissing her. Fluttershy quickly pulled away and saw a royal blue pegasus stallion with a cyan mane. It was Rainbow Dash's somewhat secret coltfriend, Free Fall. The cyan mare was rather gregarious about her public life, but she was somewhat tight-lipped regarding her personal life. Fluttershy was one of the few ponies who knew that Rainbow Dash had a coltfriend. Both ponies stared wide-eyed for a split second before Free Fall stammered, "Oh, I'm so sorry, Fluttershy! I thought you were Rainbow Dash! I came back early and I thought I would surprise her and you were here..." Fluttershy cleared her throat and said, "Apology accepted. You meant no harm." Free Fall smiled and said, "Thank you. Though I should probably go. Your coltfriend looks like he wants to murder me. Slowly." "He's not my-" Fluttershy tried to say, but Free Fall flew away before she could finish. She turned to look at Discord, who refused to look at her. "It's obvious." he said. "Why would I be your coltfriend? I'm not your type." Fluttershy sighed softly and said, "Right. We're just friends." oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo A few extremely tense hours later, somepony knocked on the door again. Fluttershy opened the door and a rainbow and cyan blur shot past her. Rainbow Dash squealed and hugged Tank. "How's my boy doing!" She cooed. Tank rubbed happily nuzzled his owner. Fluttershy couldn't help but smile. It was clear to anypony who saw them that Rainbow Dash absolutely adored Tank. She wouldn't show it to this extent in public, but this display made it very clear. The rainbow-maned mare turned to Fluttershy and said, "Thanks for watching my house and Tank!" Fluttershy smiled softly and said, "Oh, it was no trouble. No trouble at all." It was then that Rainbow Dash seemed to notice Discord. She smirked and said, "Oh, hello. I see you two are both here. I hope you kids behaved and didn't make a mess of my house." Fluttershy and Discord both blushed vividly. "The house was cleaned." Fluttershy said awkwardly. "Discord was very well behaved." "Since when have I proven otherwise?" Discord asked. He paused and added, "Don't answer that. Anyway, you're quite the pony to call us kids. You're six months younger than Fluttershy and you don't need to guess how much older than you I am." "You don't look that old." Rainbow Dash said with a smile. "In this form, you look young enough to be Fluttershy's father." Discord grimaced. Did she really need to say that? He cleared his throat and said, "Well, I'd best be on my way. Places to be, ponies to prank. It is supposed to be my special talent, after all." "All right." Rainbow Dash said. "Try not to cause too much trouble." Discord smirked and said, "I make no promises." Rainbow Dash laughed and said, "Get out of my house, you maniac!" Discord smirked again before turning to leave the house. Fluttershy looked at Rainbow Dash and said, "I should probably leave, too." "All right." Rainbow Dash said. "See you later." Fluttershy nodded before taking wing and heading home. Discord flew slowly enough for Fluttershy to keep up. This was interesting because initially, he had been awkward on his wings. He had admitted that it had been a very, very long time since he had actually used his wings to fly. After a while, they landed outside of Fluttershy's house. They butter-colored mare smiled at the dark-maned stallion and said, "Thank you for keeping me company, Discord." Discord smiled and said, "Think nothing of it. I had a few hours to kill anyway." "Thank you anyway." Fluttershy said. She then leaned up to give Discord a peck on the cheek. Not realizing what she was doing, he turned his head to say something to her. He did this action just in time for their lips to touch. Just as he was unconsciously leaning in to deepen the kiss, Fluttershy backed away. Her face was beet red, and his face probably wasn't much different. She looked away and whispered, "Good night, Discord." The mare then hurried into her home before slamming the door shut behind her. A wide-eyed Discord brought his hoof up to his lips. In a soft voice, he said, "Good night, Fluttershy." oooooooooooooooooo The Next Day All of the girls had discussed the accidental kisses from the other day. Well, with the exeption of Fluttershy. Applejack placed a hoof on the table and solumnly said, "This looks like an occasion for apple pie." "Ooh, I love pie!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed. "You love anything with sugar in it." Sugar Shock rolled her eyes. "It's still good." Pinkie Pie said defensively. "It is good." Applejack agreed. "Now come one, everypony! Let's head to the farm and I'll make you my famous apple pie." "That sounds wonderful." Twilight said with a smile. Fluttershy, the twins, Twilight, Pinkie Pie, and Applejack headed over to the Apple Family Farm. Applejack quickly let herself in. The living room was between where they were and the kitchen. "All right, follow me." Applejack said. The mares headed into the living room only to find a very unsurprising sight. Big Mac and Firefly Flicker were on the large sofa. Their hooves were all over each other and their lips were mashed together in deep, heated kisses. Fluttershy turned away, blushing vividly. The twins each covered one of Twilight's eyes. Applejack stared on in horror. Nopony really noticed the flash of light as Pinkie Pie photographed Bic Macintosh and Firefly Flicker passionately necking.
