//------------------------------// // Karaoke Party // Story: Trotting in the Winter Wonderland // by BrawnyBold //------------------------------// On one night in Ponyville, Feather and his marefriends were trotting inside of the townhall where a party was being held. Fond found in the Ponyville newspaper that there was going to be a little get together where anypony in Ponyville can come and enjoy each other's company during the holidays. When Feather and his mares walked through the doorway, they saw that a large majority of Ponyville was attending the party. "Wow! This place looks great!" Dear said as she looked at the holiday decorations in the room. "Ponyville sure knows how to celebrate the holidays." Feather said as he and his mares made their way to the food tables. "No kidding," Swoon added. "this place was also where Nightmare Moon returned from her 1000 years of slumber." "That's one way to kick off a Summer Sun Celebration." Fond joked. The group started to get their food and eat on one of the tables for the guests. Feather and the mares took part in some of the party's activities such as ornament making. Feather was painting a blue jay on his ornament while his marefriends painted Feather's poorly drawn face on their's. He couldn't help but feel touched by that. There was also pin the tail on the pony and Dear was next in line. When Dear was blindfolded, she got spun around and did her best to make it to the board while trying not to vomit. Dear was able to put the tail on what she felt was the picture of the pony. When she removed her blindfold, it revealed that it was Feather who was pined on the tail. Feather blushed as his marefriends and guests laughed from the little accident. The party went on until Mayor Mare made her way up to the stage. "Hello everypony!" Mayor Mare said loud enough for everypony to hear. "I am glad to see that you are all having a blast during this Hearth's Warming party." Everypony in the crowd cheered in agreement. "Now it is time that we start with one of the major activities for this party. A karaoke contest!" Everypony cheered in response to Mayor Mare. "Here is how it works: one pony gets up to the stage and sings the lyrics on the screen. There will be no judges rating how you will perform or any prizes. This is just for the fun of it! Any pony want to volunteer to be first?" It wasn't long until several ponies ran up to form a line to the stage. "You should go up and sing, Feather!" Dear suggested. "Nah, I'm good." Feather replied. All three of Feather's mares were surprised to hear his answer. "But I thought you enjoyed singing?" Swoon asked. "I know, but I'm taking a break from singing due to all of the performances me and the CNDY Colts have been doing recently." Feather answered. "Oh, okay." Dear said before she ran to the line. "Then I'll go up there to sing to my heart's content!" Dear made her way up to the stage and cleared her throat. "This song goes out to my two best friends and our favorite stallion." Dear said with a wink to her group, which caused Feather to blush once the again. The music began playing and Dear started singing. As Dear sang, Feather and the rest of his marefriends slowly danced to the music. The rest of the party guests followed by slow dancing with their partners. The song was over and Dear took a bow while everypony cheered from her amazing performance. "Come on, Fond!" Swoon said as she pulled Fond's hoof. "Let's sing a duet!" As both of them made their way to the stage, Dear made her way to Feather. "Not to bad for a amateur, huh?" Dear asked. "I would say that was really good." Feather said before Dear booped his muzzle. "Ah, you're too kind." Dear said as she gave Feather a peck on his cheek. Another song played with Swoon and Fond singing the lyrics. "May I have this dance, Ms. Dear?" Feather said while bowing his head. "It would be my pleasure." Dear replied as she and Feather held each other while they danced to the music. The night continued with most of the guests continued to enjoy themselves during the party. Feather was so tired that he decided to have a seat while watching his marefriends continued to have fun. 'I shouldn't be too surprised that my girls still have some energy in them to keep partying.' Feather thought. Feather turned to be completely surprised from what he saw. Marble Pie was sitting on a table at the very end of the room where she wouldn't be spotted by most of the party guests. Feather didn't expect to see Marble again. He slowly got up and made his way to see her. When Feather got to a close distant from Marble, he noticed something wrong with her. Marble's face looked really gloomy and her eyes were teary. "Um, hey Marble." Feather said quietly. Marble flinched and quickly turned to see Feather standing behind her. Through instincts, she moved her hair behind her face to prevent the stallion from seeing it. "Are you okay?" Feather asked. "You seem down for some reason." "I-I'm fine." Marble said as she avoided eye contact with Feather. "Okay," Feather said and decided not to press Marble for more answers. "Is it alright that I sit here with you?" Marble looked at the ground for a moment before giving a response. "Alright." Marble said as Feather took a seat next to her. As time went on, Feather watched his marefriends continue to have fun with the party. "I'm so grateful that I got together with all three of my mares." Feather's words caused Marble to grumble under her breath. "I know that it's a bit weird that I'm dating all three of them, but we were able to work things out." Feather said before he turned to see Marble a bit upset at him. "Can you please stop talking about love, I'm trying to avoid that right now." Marble said in a quiet and yet angry tone. "Marble, is something wrong?" Feather asked. "I said everything is fine!" Marble said in a higher volume. "Marble, I know when a mare is upset." Feather said in a neutral tone. "I promise you that I won't say anything if you want somepony to listen." Marble looked down on the floor again to think to herself. "Alright, I'll tell you." Marble said as she began. "I'm just feeling a bit lonely during this holiday season. Being with my family is alright, but I've been doing that as long as I can remember while living at my family's rock farm. It wasn't until I met this stallion who came to our rock farm. I started to make a connection with the stallion because he was as shy as I was. Both of us liked each other because of that. However, that changed when the stallion left. He ended up with some other mare and he was completely happy with her. It made me upset as I lost my chance to have that kind of connection." Marble then started to whimper and cry silently. Feather got closer to Marble to pat her back to comfort her. "I'm sorry to hear that." Feather said. "No, it's my fault." Marble said as she wiped her tears. "I should've been more upfront with my feelings toward the stallion. I was also concerned that it would be impossible to be with him for...difficult circumstances." Feather tried to think of something nice to say to Marble. "Well, I hope that you find somepony else you can make you happy. You seem like a nice mare to be with." Marble smiled from hearing such sweet things to Feather. She suddenly got up to give Feather a warm hug. This caused Feather to blush completely red for Marble's bold move. "Wha-wha..." Feather stuttered. "Thanks, Feather." Marble said. "I appreciate your support." She and Feather suddenly heard the sound of mare clearing her throat. Feather turned to see all three of his marefriends looking a bit ticked off for seeing him getting hugged by Marble. "Oh boy," Feather said as he felt like he was about to suffer from his marefriends' wrath. Feather waited patiently outside of his hotel room. Marble apologized to Feather's marefriends and explained to them about what happened. After that, Feather's mares understood and whispered something to Marble. Whatever it was, it made Marble blush a bit before she agreed. Next thing Feather knew, he was waiting for his marefriends and Marble while they were doing Celestia knows what inside of the room. "Alright! You can come in now!" Dear said from inside. Feather entered the room to see that the room's lights were once again dimmed. On the bed were Feather's marefriends with Marble sitting in the middle. Feather was also shocked to see that Marble was wearing a sexy, black nightgown that was completely transparent to reveal she was also wearing black, lacy panties. Marble's blushing face showed that she was not used to wearing her outfit. "Do you like Marble's look?" Swoon asked. "It's a spare nightgown I brought." "Um, you look great, Marble." Feather said while he looked away and blushed. "T-Thank you." Marble said while also blushing. "Aren't you going to come and join us, Feather?" Dear said as she levitated Feather on to the bed. "W-wait Marble, you want to..." "Have your way with her, yes." Fond finished while caressing Marble's cheeks and mane. "We came to an agreement to let you pleasure her since she has never done it with anypony before." "We don't mind as she looks like a mare who won't take advantage of you." Swoon said as she snuggled Marble's neck, causing the shy mare to moan a bit. "P-Please, Feather?" Marble asked with a shy smile. "A-are you sure? I don't want you to feel regrets afterwards." Feather said. "I don't mind if it's you." Marble replied. "I actually thought you were cute the moment I saw you on that train." Feather thought about it and thought it shouldn't be bad if Marble allows it. Also, if Feather was able to pleasure three mares many times, there is no doubt that he can pleasure another mare. "Alright," Feather said as he and Marble got closer to face each other. They started things off with a kiss on the lips. Feather thought that Marble's lips tasted so good as compared to the way his marefriends kiss him. Marble seems to also enjoy the smooching as she started to wrap her hooves around Feather's neck to push him further into the kiss to turn it into a full on makeout session. Feather's marefriends looked in amazement by how skilled Marble was when it comes to kissing. It took about a few minutes before Marble and Feather separated to catch their breath. "Wow," Feather said in shock from how impressed he was from the kiss. "Thank you," Marble said bashfully. After that, Feather's marefriends pushed Feather to lay on his back while all the mares gave at him hungry looks. "Alright girls," Fond said to the mares. "Let's kick things up a notch!" The mares dove down to Feather and they began making love to each other. After a night of passion, Marble felt a lot better as she exited the hotel and returned to the Apple Farm. Once she entered the farm house, she was suddenly confronted by Pinkie who looked really worried. "Marble! I'm so glad you made it back home!" Pinkie said as she gave Marble a caring hug. "I was getting worried when the rest of our family said that you haven't returned home since I came back from Twilight's castle. Is everything alright?" Marble smiled. "I'm fine, sis. You have nothing to worry about." Marble said as she looked at outside. 'Happy Hearth's Warming, Feather.' Marble thought as she went with Pinkie to enjoy the holiday with their family.
