//------------------------------// // Chapter 1 // Story: Forbidden Fruit // by NocturneD85 //------------------------------// Forbidden Fruit - By NocturneD Note: Hello and all to the story of Forbidden Fruit. I do want to say to start off it was an honor working on it and appreciate everyone's kind words and constructive criticism. It got its own little following but let's be honest, it's another one of THOSE stories about thinking you were in love but when it turns out you are not. I would like to thank Popoman100 for taking the time and making this into an audio reading. With the help of LuffyDuffy7817 and EdgeWoodBlake providing the voices. So here it is if you want to just sit back and listen, also visit their youtube channels too for some awesome videos! ---- All of you see me as miss perfect. I represent true love. I have little faults. I was flawless in my wedding dress walking down the aisle to marry my true love. Shining Armor; my knight in shining armor. My love. The special pony who was perfect for me. My special day was almost ruined thanks to the queen of the changelings. But thanks to Twilight Sparkle and her friends, we all prevailed in the end. The wedding went as followed and the reception was great. It was everything that I hoped for when I was a little filly. The wedding night went as expected, my love and I expressed our love for each other and it all seemed like it was going fine the next few months... Until I went to Ponyville to visit Twilight Sparkle and her friends for a week. Shining Armor could not come at the time because of guard duty. Ponyville was pretty much a quiet little town. Not too many of those around anymore thanks to job demands and urban renewals. Do not get me wrong I support every pony working to support their family, but seeing Ponyville for what it was. It looked peaceful. Almost like a small town that time forgot. Twilight Sparkle and I as usual did our little dance to greet each other. Oh how much fun it was. Twilight showed me around starting with her library. The book selection was amazing, she has a lot of promise of becoming a librarian in the future. Maybe she could even manage the castle's someday? We went to see Rarity; the fashion pony. She is so frantic with trying to please me. Guess she wants to mingle with the high society. Pinkie Pie gave me a huge celebration that night to welcome me. I love her just to bits. Then there is Fluttershy who is just a doll. Her animal friends I adore. Rainbow Dash was not big on parties that distracted her from her practice sessions. I promised her tickets to the next Wonderbolts if she was interested in going with me as for some reason Shining Armor does not fancy them. With an obvious yes it was decided. Then there is Applejack, the last honest pony in Equestria. Surely a good pony to know and be friends with. My troubles started I guess you could say the first night I came here. The party was being held at the Sweet Apple Acre farm and almost every pony from Ponyville was there. There was dancing. Eating wonderful pies. And most of all drinking this blessed apple cider. I love it. One mug of cider later... I was dancing with Pinkie. She tore the dance floor like a mad pony. Her moves were electrifying. Dash joined in and it was explosive. I just can't get enough of this cider. Another mug later... I decided to walk outside to see more of the party. There I noticed a red stallion fiddling around with some farm contraption. Sorry I don't know much about farming so whatever it was I'm sure it was vital to the Apple family. I sat down not to far from the barn to get away from the party and just enjoy the night sky that Luna blessed us with. The red stallion finished with the machine and noticed me sitting by myself sipping my cider. I must have had two already. Twilight and the others tried to coax me back in and kept me company for a bit, then a distraction or two later they would be back inside. Something about Pinkie Pie being blind folded and running around holding a sharp object to pin on something. He asked if I was lost. I just giggled and shook my head then said I was just getting some fresh air. He introduced himself as Big Mac. Well the Big part of his name holds up pretty well. He was a tall stallion, clearly got Shining Armor beat. He walked around my proximity for a bit putting things in different spots. At first I tried to watch the constellations but the sound of metal clanking , I could not concentrate. I looked at him, he looked back and apologized. I just laughed and told him he was not doing anything wrong. Then I asked him why he was not inside either. He just said there was still some work to do and did not want to deal with it earlier the next day. Pretty acceptable I admit. Was not too long until he came back with a mug of apple cider for himself. I was almost out myself and wanted to fetch another. But I felt like talking. Big Mac was truly a remarkable pony with being very helpful and loyal to his family business. He explained what he does and what his responsibilities are. Normally I was never interested in businesses like I said before despite me having a foal sitting service back then. Why did I quit that you might ask? The foals themselves, guess I grew up along with them. I noticed Big Mac had a different brand of cider than I did. He told me he grabbed a mug of the alcoholic cider. I was intrigued. I had no idea they made cider with alcohol in it. I asked if I could have a sip, he warned me that it had a different taste and had an extra kick to it. What could possible happen? I had champaign at the wedding. I took a sip and boy was it strong. It tasted interesting... I went back to the serving table and asked Applejack for a mug of the alcoholic cider. She commented saying I should kick it up an extra notch. Maybe if I drink more of it I will get a better taste. I went back to Big Mac who still sat there. We continued our conversation into the hours. I'm not sure if this was the cider talking but, Big Mac was pretty handsome. Wait... no I guess he looked handsome before. All big... Had big muscles. Well toned flank... His freckles were cute. He talked like a true gentle colt, even acted like one. Gave me the best seat outside the barn, nothing more than a hay stack but... meh. I was in a bubbly mood. Wait... Wait... How many ciders did I have? One... two... Wait does that count the ones from earlier? Three... four... I don't know why but whatever Big Mac said was just funny to me. I kept pressing on his cutie mark like it was a button. I laughed harder. He just chuckled and rolled his eyes. He excused himself to go back to work. I told him to stay but insisted that he go. Oh no... that big beef cake is not getting away from me... I tracked him down in another barn where there was a lot of hay. Found him up in the rafters moving hay around. I groggily climbed up the ladder and almost lost my footing. The ladder fell to the floor and I was hanging onto the edge. Big Mac pulled me up and asked if I was okay. I just threw my arms around him and told him he was my knight in shining armor for helping me. I planted a big kiss on his lips. He backed away. I knew he was shy and told him he did not have to be. Come on... Give Cadance some loving... I remembered I did not give him my name and told him not to worry about it. He asked if I had a boyfriend, I just told him that my boyfriend was a big stick in the mud and thought about getting back at him. I knew it was the cider talking. I asked if he had a girlfriend, he said sort of and was not sure about it but wished to move it further. I complemented him more and saw him blush. What the cider made me say... I don't wish to repeat them even if I could remember some of them. Then the big differences between Big Mac and Shining Armor came into play. A lot of similarities happened like laying me down gently on my stomach and working me slowly. Sizing me up and taking me finally. Big Mac lived up to his name and I moaned like a drunken whore and begged for more. More and more. Told him to do whatever he wanted, my body was his. His sculpted body was perfect. After what would have felt like hours, we both fell down in the hay. My hair was a mess, I was breathing heavily. Big Mac just lied there sleeping. Big guy was so exhausted. So was I... That was my mistake of sleeping right there next to him. Before I knew it, water thrown on us. Big Mac and I scurried to our feet and found Applejack with a bucket and equipped with a mad face. Twilight was behind her with her hoofs over her mouth not sure what to think of the situation. The rest of her friends had their mouths open. My heart skipped a beat. I looked at Big Mac who looked at me then scratched his head. "WHAT IN TARNATION HAPPEN HERE?" Applejack shouted then tossed the bucket to her side. "BIG MAC WHAT DID YOU DO?" "I... Uh..." Big Mac stopped just as soon as Apple Jack shoved her face into his demanding answers. "How could you Cadance?" Twilight muttered once, this time she shouted it and cried, "HOW COULD YOU?!" "Wait... Cadance as is... Princess Cadance?" Big Mac blinked. "The princess Cadance of the royal wedding a few months ago?" "Twil...Twilight. Applejack! I can explain!" I tried my best to explain but, it was no use. I was a bit drunk and hit on Big Mac. One thing led to another and now I'm confronted by my sister in law with her friends. The smell of sweat and sex was still in the air. What would happen after that party. Twilight Sparkle lost faith in me, not sure if she should run and go tell her brother that I betrayed him. But she was sure as hell mad at Big Mac saying that he took advantage of me no matter how much I tried to explain. She even threw out all my luggage from her library and told me to go find a motel. Applejack was mad at me too, calling me a hussie saying if I could not keep my end of the promise then she would have never helped at my wedding. Twilight and Jack got into a huge verbal fight and were not speaking with each other. The others. Rainbow Dash flew away but not before hearing from that she took pictures. Pinkie said that the party was still fun, but looked at me funny saying that I was the only thing that went wrong. Rarity went on and told all of her mare friends. Fluttershy... said nothing. Maybe it was for the better. The whole town whisper as I walk past them. Big Mac had his fair share of judgment, but to be fair he did not even know who I was. He treated me like a lady and it felt great.. but I ruined his life too... He would get hissed at and yelled at for ruining a fairy tale marriage. Would not be long until Shining Armor hears about this. He can get mad at times but at this level I do not know what he could do. I was so dead... I betrayed my husband and had no reason to do so. Big Mac was a nice pony and I hope nothing ever happens to him. I'm too scared to even go back home to our house. I just can not face Shining Armor. I took the promise and threw it all away for some stupid cider. Now I do not even want to look at the stuff. I remember hearing a story. Was called Genesis I believe where a male pony was tempted by female pony with an apple... How fitting... Was tasting the forbidden fruit worth it?
