//------------------------------// // Chapter 17: Picnic at the park and a spy in the bushes // Story: super secret human facility // by xXmentracksXx //------------------------------// The shower was very nice, the hot water washed the filth of two days of crazy antics. I didin't mind using a womans soap, hell womans soap smelled WAY better then any I bought back on Earth. I squeezed another handfull of soap into my hand and started massaging it into my body. I massaged the soap for another two minutes before letting the water wash the sudzz from my naked form. I turned the water of and pushed the shower curtains aside, the colder air hit me and shocked my body slightly. Oh,Oh. Cold,cold, too cold. I quickly grabed the towel from the rack and started getting the excess water of. After a minute of towel rubbing, I was fairly dry and decided to put my clothing back on. I grabbed my pants and slipped them on, deciding not to wear my underwear for the simple fact that I'll need to find or have new pairs made. I buttoned up my pants, grabbed my shirt and went across the hall to my room. I went to my bed and sat there for a moment, allowing the air to dry me off abit. I stood up and put my shirt on, I was still alittle damp but I would dry off fully at the park. I exited the room and closed my door shut. I walked down the hall and started down the stairs. I reached the bottom and headed into the kitchen to help with the picnic basket. I could see Lyra and Bon Bon had already gathered a few things for our day out: A few plates, a knife, some bread and cheeses for makeshift sandwiches and the bloddy watermelon Lyra bought when we got here. I atood next to the table and placed my left hand onto it for support. "So....everything good?" I asked. Lyra an Bon Bon both turned to me and smiled at the same time. "Yes, everythings fine...Should we bring drinks?" Bon Bon half answered. I was a little skepticl. I remember when Lyra saw that showmare kiss me back in Canterlot and she sent me and her through a shop window. Why is the not raising a fuss? I walked around the table and joined them near the counter. "Soo....you're ok with us?" I asked Lyra while she levitated some paper towels. "Yeah...I'm ok with it...No we can get lemonade on the way there." Lyra said while also answering me barely. I was starting to get alittle annoyed at thier half answers. But insteed of getting made about it, I decided to try and offer my help. "Soo, what do we need for are picnic? Anything I can do to help?" "Not really, we already got most of what we need. So, you can wait in the living room until we are ready to go. Ok?" Bon Bon said as she placed a blanket into the basket. I sighed and placed my hand on my head. "Ok..." Bon Bon looked back at me and walked up to me and wrappd her hooves around me. "Sorry for being so unanswerative, but we want to enjoy this day and spend time with you. Especially me, now let me and Lyra finish up here and we'll be off." Bon Bon's words lightened my mood abit, I still had a feeling something is up but I couldn't get made at such a cute mare. I patted her on the head and sighed. "Alright, just give me a shout if you need anything." "ALEX!!!!" I looked at Lyra. "Yes?" "Can I get a massage please?" I laughed at her request. "Perhaps later, we'll see after the picnic." I said as I went over to Lyra and rubbed her head. She seemed to enjoy this and sighed. I removed my hand from her head and left the kitchen. I entered the living room and went straight to the couch. I took a seat and relaxed until it was time to go. I decided to take a quick little nap, to past the time. ----------------------------------------------- Back in the kitchen Bon Bon turned to Lyra with a annoyed look. "Massage? Really? Why not just ask him to meet you in your room while your at it." Bon Bon said in a hushed, irritated tone. Lyra turned her head to Bon Bon and stuck her tongue out at her. "Well, you didn't say anything about implying anything did you?" Lyra mockingly questioned. Bon Bon rolled her eyes as she loaded the last of the items into the basket. "Well...looks like thats everything we need. Anything else you wanna bring?" Bon Bon asked as she closed the basket. Lyra thought for a second before answering Bon Bon. "Hmmmm...not that I can think of, so lets get Alex and be on our way." Lyra stated as she levitated the basket and started walking out of the kitchen with Bon Bon right behind. --------------------------- Back to Alex's perpective I had a good point five seconds of darkness before I felt a hoove shake my leg. I opened my eyes to see that Bon Bon was the one shaking my leg with Lyra on the right side of her. I looked at them for a second before Bon Bon spoke. "Hi there, we're ready to go." I noded. Bon Bon backed up, alittle allowing me to stand up. I rubbed the back of my head and walked with Bon Bon and Lyra out of the living room and out of the house. It was still pretty early and the sun had just risen above the tree line. The air was warm with a slight cold nip to it, for the sun hasn't yet warmed up the earth below us but it was still nice. I let Bon Bon and Lyra lead the way, as I didn't quite know my way around in the three days that i've been in Equestria. We walked a good way in a southwardly direction or a northernly one, I had no Idea. As we walked on, I could see ponies coming out of their homes and greeting the new day. I saw little fillies galloping down the street, most likely heading towards their school house for learning. We soon were in the center of town and making our way to a nicely gardened area coming into my view. As we entered the area in question, the aroma of flowers and nature in general wafted into my nose holes. The smell was nice and the day light added a sort of calming affect to the whole experience. We continued walking in the park until we came appon a nice area that would be perfect for our picnic. Lyra used her magic to get the blanket out and spread it onto the grass. Bon Bon placed the basket in the middle of the blanket and we all took a seat on the blanket with me Bon Bon on my left side and Lyra on my right. Lyra brought out the watermelon and the knife, she levitated the knife to me and allowed me to slice the watermelon. I sliced the watermelon in horizontal cuts, giving us 8 sclices and two cuped shaped end peices. I handed one to Bon Bon and one to Lyra, I then grabed one for myself and we started to eat. I was in the middle of my second mouthfull of melon when Bon Bon cleared her throat."Alex..." I turned my head to look at her. I swollowed before answering. "Yes Bon Bon?" She took a second before responding. "Remembered when we talked last night?" I thought for a second to remember last night. "Hmm yes, yes I do. What is it you wanna discuss?" Bon Bon placed her half eaten slice of watermelon onto a paper towel before responding. "Well...I was thinking that...Since we are you know...together now...I was considering...we start a herd...maybe?" She turned her head from me. I sat there for a moment, considering the proposal. What? She wants to start a herd. Now? we only just started the first steps of begining a relationship. Ok, ok I need to calm down and think about this rationally. If Bon Bon really wants to do this, she really must trust me and wants me happy. Which is sweet, but this was no time to think about it...But if she really wants to do this, then I need to trust in her decision... I looked at Bon Bon who still had her head turned and placed my hand on her head. "Listen...I'm ok with that idea..." I couldn't finish because I was Immediately hugged tightly by Lyra. I turned my head to address her but found that she had other plans for my lips other then speaking. Her lips meet mine and I was alittle surprised by this action. The kiss lasted only a few second before she broke it off. "YES YES!!!" She cheered as she hugged me even tighter. I put my hands on Lyra's shoulder, which seemed to clam her down and made her look at me. "Woo, wooo calm down now. Before we get over our heads, can I explain something to the both of you?" Bon Bon and Lyra looked at me before noding and moving next to each other to listen. I breathed out before starting. "Ok...I would like to explain the steps taken in a relationship...for humans back where I'm from..." I stated to the mare, who seemed genuinely interested especially Lyra. "First: when one human likes another human, they will hang out and get to know eachother. We have done that already and we know eachother very well. Second: The two humans that like eachother and want to be with eachother as a couple, they will go on a series of dates to see if there is any chemistry. Usually two or three dates to make sure they like eachother. Third: When the two have started dating and have been dating, they either decide to take it to the next level, I.E. sex, or decide to hold out on the sex. Do you two understand?" I finished as I pick up my watemelon slice and took a bit. Lyra was the first to speak. "Sooo, we ARE starting a herd right?" I look at Lyra and chuckled. "Yes yes, but I would feel much better if we can have a date or two. So we can be sure we know what we're getting into first." Bon Bon nodded her head in agreement. "I don't see why not. We both can be with him and no one feels left out, plus it would be fun to go on a realy date for once." Bon Bon finish as she scooted next to me and Lyra did the same on my left side. I put my hands on Bon Bon and Lyra's head, softly stroked their manes. Lyra looked up at me with a smile. "Sooooo...can this count as a date? for both of us?" I looked up and faked being in thought. "Hmmmm I don't see why not...It's a good start to all this so why not." And with that, we sat on the blanket and just enjoyed the start to a great day. ----------------------------------------------- Back at the house As the day began, a rushling could be heard across in a bush across from Lyra and Bon Bon's house. A few moments later, the head of the great and powerful Trixie poped out of the top of the bush with the heads of Snips and Snails, two colt unicorns who seem to follow Trixies every whime. Trixie levitated a pair of binoculars and peered through them. "You two SURE this is where the human lives?" Trixie questioned as she peered at the house. Snips nodded his head. "Yeah, me and Snails here, saw the strange 'Hu-man' go into that house where the nice candy maker lives with her mean friend." Snails nodded his head obviously. Not in agreement, but at the naughty thoughts going through his young mind as he started at Trixie's flank. Trixie smiled as she gazed appon the home of her future husband, entertainin the thought in her head as she lowered the binoculars. Snips noticed this and questioned. "Is is time to start you amazing plan, oh great and powerful Trixie?" Trixie shook her head. "Not yet, I still need to go a few things in order first. Now lets go before they see us here." With that, Trixie, Snails and Snips ducked back into the bush and snuck away.
