Sea Breeze and Twilight Sparkle stumbled back into the library as the brilliant lights of the celebration died down for the night. Spike had long since passed out in a pile of cushions in the corner, and was snoring contently.
“You know, Sea…”
Twilight began.
“We have the room all to ourselves tonight…”
Sea blushed furiously. It certainly hadn’t crossed his mind, and now that he came to think about it, it seemed as almost an alien concept. Even more so given the quiet, Studious mare proposing it.
“Well?”
Twilight eyed him from head to hoof, a mischievous twinkle of attraction glimmering in her eyes. Sea smiled goofily.
“Sure.”
Twilight smiled slyly, before making her way up the stairs.
“I’ll get ready. Don’t take too long, alright?”
Sea smiled up at her.
“I… uhh… I won’t.”
Twilight giggled, before making her way into the room at the top of the stairs.
Sea carefully snuck into another room, to avoid waking spike. He fumbled around in his sheet, finding his prized possession; A Sphere.
Sea played with the sphere in his hooves for a while, remembering what Green Flash had said to him as he left for Trottingham.
“YE BEST BE SURE TO MAKE GOOD USE OF THAT, LADDY. IT WASN’T CHEAP! STAY IN TOUCH, AND TRY NOT TO DRIFT OUT OF TOUCH. YER STILL A MEMBER OF MY CREW, AND I MIGHT BE NEEDIN’ YA SOON. FAREWELL, SONNY!”
A feeling of longing welled up in Sea’s chest. He missed Green. But he didn’t just miss Green. He missed Shining, And Gold, And Braeburn, And even Fluttershy. The old Fluttershy, before she was overcome by grief.
Sea turned his attention back to the Sphere in his hands. He had never understood how they worked, only that they were magical devices of a bygone era. They were capable of connecting across time and space, allowing ponies to communicate with each other no matter where they were.
Of course, Sea had used his many a time. And he was about to use it again.
He held the Sphere close to his chest, picturing clearly in his mind the pony he wished to see.
Green Flash.
In a cabin on the Equila, many miles away, Green’s attention was caught by a blue glow emanating from one of his desk drawers.
Back in the library, Sea held his breath. He really needed Green’s guidance. Sea concentrated, and slowly, a figure began to appear from the misty depths of the sphere. Slowly, sound began to reverberate from the sphere, carrying to Sea a familiar voice.
“AHOY THERE LADDY! A BIT LATE TO BE CALLIN’, ISN’T IT?”
Sea winced, hoping that Green’s booming voice wouldn’t wake Spike in the next room.
“Try to keep it down, okay? I need some advice.” Sea said, fidgeting around.
“CERTAINLY MA- I mean, Certainly matey. What can I do for ye?” Green boomed, then whispered.
Sea gulped.
“Well Uhh… I think Twilight is trying to seduce me.” Sea whispered.
Green beamed.
“Good on ya, laddy! What’re you doin’ talkin’ to me? Yer about to become a man!” He boomed.
Sea gulped again.
“Well, that’s the thing. I don’t know what do to. What If I mess it up?” Sea whispered.
Suddenly, Green was very serious.
“You won’t mess it up, laddy. You love this mare, yes?” Green said softly.
“Y-yeah.” Sea almost whimpered.
“Then you won’t mess it up. If you really feel something for her, yer heart will guide ye.” Green smiled.
Sea gulped once more, before steeling himself.
“Thanks. I’ll do what I think is right.” Sea said firmly.
“That’s what I like to hear, matey. NOW GO AND GIVE HER THE BUISNESS! BWAHAHAHAH!”
Sea shut off the Sphere hurriedly, hoping that Green’s unrestrained laughter hadn’t woken Spike.
Thankfully, It hadn’t. The small dragon continued to snore in his pile of cushions.
Sea made his way up the stairs, determined to make this a night to remember.
When Sea opened the door and entered the room, Twilight was already in the upper portion. Sea climbed the last set of
stairs, stopping at the side of the bed.
Sea climbed in next to Twilight, who shuffled towards him.
~~~~
With a sigh, Twilight fell asleep in Sea’s arms, completely exhausted.
Sea grinned at the sleeping mare, before slowly slipping out of bed.
He went downstairs, taking careful care of the condom, disposing of it whilst making sure Spike would never find it.
He then went back upstairs and onto the balcony of the library.
Sea looked up at the stars and moon, drinking in their beauty.
For some reason, he felt uneasy. It felt like it was the start of something.
He shrugged it off. Whatever it was, it could certainly wait for morning.
Sea went back inside, crept into bed next to Twilight, and fell asleep.
