Chapter 2 – Sunshine and Lollipops
You stare at the crumbs of what look like cake on the plate in front of you. Your sugar high ended a little while ago and now you feel like you’re going to be sick. Why, why! are the sweets here so good!
Spike sits beside you with his stomach popping out, “N-no Pinkie I’m good.”
Pinkie gives a loud sigh as she turns her food filled plate to you. You’re quick to shake your head out of fear of exploding if you eat anything more. Pinkie sets the plate down as she sits across from you next to Twilight, “So how do you like them?”
Twilight stops from taking a bite out of an apple covered in warm caramel to answer her friend, “They are positively delicious Pinkie.”
The energetic pink fluff pokes at you now, “You ok?”
You shake your head with your mouth half open in a sugar daze, the cupcakes and sweets in Canterlot where not as good as the ones here, most of the time you just ended up giving your stuff to Spike.
Twilight looks to the window as she talks, “well, so much for getting back early.”
You close your eyes for a moment only to be awoken by a loud thunder crashing sound, “Whoa?”
You look to the window to see outside, but you can’t see anything, “What was that?”
Twilight looks to the window unaffected by the loud noise, “Thunder.”
You stupidly blurt out the first thing that comes to your mind, “It rains in Equestria?” you think to yourself, In all honesty its a fair judgment, you never have seen it rain but you have seen it snow so…never mind you're now invalid.
Pinkie giggled loudly as she points a hoof at you, “Don’t you have rain in your world.”
You give a low nod as she continues to laugh.
Another loud clap is heard from outside.
Twilight places the cupcake back on the plate, “fifty seconds apart, sorry Pinkie we need to go before Rainbow’s rain gets us.”
You again blurt out your first thought, “Wait, Rainbow makes it rain?”
Pinkie again lets out a laugh as she pokes fun at you, “You didn’t know that?”
You feel a little left out as you look to Twilight for an explanation…which she is always happy to be smarter than you, “Pegasus can move clouds and influence the weather using emotions.” She pauses and waits for a moment, “All emotions are magic, just like unicorn magic. It’s just different for each pony.”
You give a unamused nod to her comment as you think, ya ya, magic is emotion and feelings…you dwell on this notion for a moment, all you did in Canterlot was something based on this…but come on all-weather controlled by ponies, that’s still a weird contempt.
You follow Twilight’s lead as she stands from the table and says goodbye to Pinkie.
As you get close to the door another loud clap is heard from outside, as you walk out you stare at the large black clouds swirling above you. Your mind dwells on the thought of having wet fur, you don’t hate it, all honesty it feels nice to have a cool coat, but you have always hated the smell of wet fur.
Twilight walks causal down the road as she looks up at the sky, “We really need to get home, this looks like a big storm.”
Spike walks beside you as he talks, “So are we not stopping by Rarity’s?”
Another loud clap can be heard from the black swirl above you, Twilight squints her eyes at him,
“Do you really want to go?”
Spike tries to play off his alarmed face as he nudges you, “Naw, we don’t want to get wet.”
With another loud clap you feel a warm wet spot hit your head, you look up, “Well that’s no-…”
Before you can finish your sentence the black clouds let loose its weight in what seems like one second. The warm water now runs down your face and all over your coat as you stand looking
up, “..so bad.”
Twilight gives a little squeal as the water pours down her purple mane into her face. She blows some of her mane out of her mouth as she continues to walk with a bit more haste. You on the other hand are laughing; the dirt road has almost completely turned into mud, which feels amazing on your hooves for some reason.
Twilight struggles to gallop on the slippery ground, Spike is now further down the road with a small scream, “I just waxed my scales, come on!”
The rain’s speed has decreased after only a few moments and is now more of a light shower, which again feels strangely great as each little droplet slightly massages your coat, “Can’t run?”
Twilight ducks under an overhang as she whips her drenched mane out of her face, “ugh, I did not want to get wet.”
You give a little chuckle as you stand out from under the overhang; you look up and close your eyes as you talk, “I kind of like it.”
Twilight pulls you under the overhang, “You’re going to catch a cold.”
You smile at her comment as you blow at her, “It’s warm.”
Twilight shakes her head at you as she looks up to the still think black clouds, “it should be over soon.”
You chuckle at her comment, “it’s rain, how can it be over…-“ At this point you notice the sound of the rain hitting the ground has stopped, you look up to the clouds. The clouds dark color has shifted to a dark grey as the rain slows down. You also see some parts of the cloud starting to be broken up, but unlike normal fading clouds instead you watch as different colored pegasus push sections of the cloud across the sky…that’s cool, you think to yourself as you watch the cloud slowly breaking apart.
Twilight nudges you as she starts to walk, “Told you.”
Your quick to join her side as you playfully bump her, “Ya, but you said we would not get rained on.”
She rolls her eyes at you. As you near the library the door swings open with Spike in the doorway, “I thought you guys were right behind me?”
Twilight walks past him to the upstarts as she talks, “I didn’t want to get dirty, but now we have to take a bath.”
You give a loud exhale as you talk, “oh come on? We’re animals why do we have to wash dirt off?”
Twilight’s ear twitches a bit as she stops and turns to you, “Animals? No, we are not animals. we are ponies!?”
You and Spike stand dumbfounded at her sharp tone, “um…okay?”
She nods her head as she continues up the stairs, “good.”
Spike looks over his dirty feet, “I don’t have that much so I’ll take the first bath.” Before you can say anything he bolts up the stairs, “Don’t worry I’ll save the hot water.”
You roll your eyes as you think to yourself, no you won’t.
You turn your gaze to the room Twilight went into. You make your way up to the door as you peer in from the threshold, “hi?”
Twilight is staking a few books from her satchel as she exhales, “Sorry.”
You nod your head to her as she places the books on a nearby table next to her bed.
Your mind thinks over the books she just places, “You want to talk about it?”
She again exhales before she talks, “It had nothing to do with it.”
You stare at her for a moment waiting for her lie to falter.
After a few lip bites and a broke eye contact she finally talks again, “ok, maybe I felt it a little. But it was only a moment. “She turns her purple eyes to you as she sits on the bed, “But that’s why we left Canterlot right? So that I could stop using human magic right?”
You look her over before you speak, “No, we left because Celestia wanted you to return and study on the magic of friendship.”
Twilight nods her head as she talks, “Yes, and I can still do that.”
You decide to try a more stern looking face as you think before you speak, “The deal was no more human magic, and I won’t hide my thoughts.”
Twilight blows as she laughs at your comment, “Okay, I understand you still don’t count this...” She motions with her hooves to the room, “…as normal, but you need to stop with the comments.” She slumps down a bit in the bed as she talks, “But obsessively not.”
You give a smile to her comment, it feels more like home in Ponyville then in Canterlot, “I was just saying that next winter I am not going to take a bath when I get snow on my…” you pause at the word while you wet your lips to it, “…coat.”
Her ear twitches again as she brings her head up to you, “Yo- you’re going to stay in Ponyville?”
You chuckle at the comment, not like you really have any other place to go, Canterlot is the only other place you have gone and that’s a death trap, “Why wouldn’t I?”
She smiles to you as she flips her tail a bit on the bed, “Will you stay with me?”
You smile at her low voice, is she trying to be sexy? “Why wouldn’t I?”
She playfully grabs at her horn as she tries to fake a pained cry, “I think you're right…My horn does hurt.” She places one hoof over her head as she peers at you with one open eye, “Want to help?”
Your face is flushed with a heat as you move slowly to her, “Twilight, are you trying to seduce me?”
Her eyes glow as she floats a book back to her, “yes, I read that you’re supposed to do something the other pony likes to do.”
You look over the title as you get closer, Dos and Don’ts. You give another short low chuck as you sit on the bed next to her.
Her happily extended neck slinks down a bit at your laugh, “Di-did I do it wrong?”
You move your hoof around her coat, “Yes.”
She shifts a little at your touch, “h-how did I do it wrong?” Her eyes have a slight sparkle to them as she waits for your response.
“I don’t like to see you hurt.” At your sentence you kiss on her neck.
She giggles as you continue to move your hoof thought the fur of her back. She moves herself closer to you as you continue to draw your hoof around her; you leave a trail of cool damp mud as you continue to rub her back. The purple stared bed now has a brown mud tent on it from where Twilight’s hooves have been resting. You continue to kiss and tickle her neck with your tongue, she squirms each time your lips meet her warm fur of her neck. She whimpers as she talks, “Your…your hooves are dirty.” You ignore her as she continues to bring herself to rest on your lips. She lets out a low giggling moan as you move up to her face, her eyes are closed as you give a quick kiss to her lips.
“Hey Twili…-“
Twilight springs from the bed at the sound of Spikes voice in the doorway, “Sp-Spike!” She is quick to the door as she stammers and stutters with a high pitched shaky voice, “What, what do you need?”
Spike’s voice is dazed as he talks to Twilight, “uhhhh, some ponies are down stairs trying to return some books and I didn’t know where to put them.”
She turns and faces you with a laugh, “I’ll be back later.”
You nod to her as she leaves the doorway.
You look to the window; what pony stops by a library at night? You then look to Spikes bed which is close to Twilight’s and think, oh god we’re in Twilight’s room. You shuffle to the door as you peer out to the stairs, you know you can’t go down there with your current…stance. You dart across the hall to your room as you think, god I hope no one comes up here. You listen to the voices downstairs, there sounds like a lot of ponies…this is going to be a long night. You flop back into the bed with a sigh…I want hands now.
