Popping her balloons, Chapter 6
By FinnPony


The light of Celestia’s sun started to illuminate Ponyville as the princess lifted it to the sky. First the light hit the top of the town hall’s bell tower and other higher buildings. One of them was the local bakery, Sugarcube Corner.

Pinkie Pie started to shift under her blankets as the first rays of the sun started to peer through the window in her room. They tickled the top of her nose and she tried to escape them by rolling to her side. It was too late though, because she was already awake. 
Pinkie Pie yawed heartily and rolled in her bed. She bumped into something and looked to her side, where she saw a big lump under the blanket. She smiled and giggled as she saw a blue horn peeking from under the blanket. One of her pillows was full of holes and cuts, and there was lots of white feathers on the bed. She lifted her hoof to her neck where she had couple of band-aids. Those were results of sleeping in same bed with Pokey Pierce.
The lump moved and Pokey’s face appeared from under the blanket. He was still asleep but he subconsciously wrapped his front legs around Pinkie Pie, making her sigh and snuggle closer to him.

Just as Pinkie was about to fall asleep again Pokey lifted his head from the pillow. He looked around the bed with embarrassed expression on his face. His mane was messy and there were single hairs sticking out everywhere. Pinkie Pie pulled him closer to herself and chirped, “Good morning!”
“Morning.. Sorry about the pillow… and blanket… again,” Pokey said and smiled to Pinkie Pie sheepishly. She planted a small kiss on Pokey’s cheek and said to him, “No problemo. I wouldn’t let you sleep on the floor you know.”
“And I thank you for it,” Pokey said and looked at Pinkie’s neck. “How is your neck feeling?”
“It’s okay. Doesn’t hurt or anything, or maybe it’s a bit sore,” Pinkie said while touching the band-aids again. Pokey seemed to feel guilty. He looked Pinkie in the eyes before leaning forward and kissing her on the neck where the band-aids were, making her giggle.
“That tickles,” she said and looked at Pokey who chuckled and asked, “Did that help?”
“Nah, not really,” Pinkie said, being honest. She then gigglesnorted and added, “But it did feel nice though.”
They both snickered and snuggled closer to each other. They laid there for a while before Pinkie looked at the clock and remembered something.

“I forgot to tell you. I’m going to library today.” she said as she escaped from Pokey’s tight hug. Pokey tried to catch her before Pinkie could roll off the bed but he failed. He let out a small grunt and asked, “Why?”
“I’m seeing the girls tonight. Twilight’s going to tell us about her new coltfriend,” Pinkie Pie said as she took a brush from a drawer of her night table. 
“Oh. So she really had something going on with that…” Pokey started but was interrupted by Pinkie saying quickly, “Yep.”

She turned towards Pokey and gave him a waiting look. Pokey got the hint and took the brush into his magical grip while Pinkie sat on the edge of the bed. He started to brush Pinkie’s fluffy mane, thinking to himself, “How is this is even going to help her mane?”
“I was just thinking that maybe I could stay for another night?” Pokey asked while running the brush through Pinkie’s mane. She didn’t think long before happily answering with pure enthusiasm and happines, “Sure! I was thinking so too! I don’t like sleeping alone anymore. It’s so lonely and boring to just lay there on the bed and fall asleep. It’s much more nicer to snuggle with you first.”
That made Pokey smile. He laid down the brush from his golden magic aura and crawled next to his pink coated marefriend.
“I could just stay here for the whole day,” Pokey said as he laid his head onto Pinkie’s lap. Pinkie snickered and rubbed Pokey’s head while staring into his golden eyes.
“Me too, but I really need to go now silly.” she said and saw Pokey frowning. She smiled and leaned forward. Pinkie pursed her lips and Pokey lifted his head so that their lips touched. Their lips separated with a small smack and they both grinned playfully.

Sound of girly laughter filled the treehouse. All the members of mane six were sitting around Twilight Sparkle’s living room table. Twilight was blushing and glancing at her friends with shy smile on her lips. She had a big cup of steaming coffee in her magical grasp. She had started to drink it much more than before.
“Well… now you know everything.” she said and gave her friends a happy smile. Rarity, the romanticist of the group sighed, “Forbidden love… that is so romantic.”
Twilight seemed a bit annoyed and looked at Pinkie. She was playing around with her puffy tail, giggling to herself. Twilight chuckled at the sight and thought that it would be good time to change the subject.

“I think we have spoken enough about me.” she started with a playful smirk. “Come on Pinkie. Tell us about Pokey and you. We haven’t spoken about you two since that time at Sugarcube corner.”
“Oh yes. It must be like… two months?” Rarity thought out loud.
Pinkie snapped away from her soft fight with her own tail that she was currently biting. She turned towards the other five mares. They all had waiting look in their eyes, even Fluttershy seemed to be interested. She spat her tail from her mouth. 
“One month, twenty five days and seven hours and eleven minutes!” Pinkie Pie exclaimed and others congratulated her, ignoring the fact that she could tell the time she had been together with Pokey by an accuracy of minutes. Pinkie looked at each one of them at the time and started to smile. They were still waiting for more.
“We are doing good,” she said and tapped her chin. “I bet you wanna know more?”
Others nodded their heads eagerly and Pinkie Pie’s face lit up. She thought for a moment before starting to tell about her relationship with Pokey Pierce to her friends, “We like to do stuff together.”
“Umm… I think that its quite normal in relationship honey,” Rarity said with amused tone in her voice. Pinkie Pie nodded without actually listening to her and continued her story, “We’ve gone to cafes and movies…”
“That doesn’t sound like you Pinkie.” Rainbow Dash said with a provocative smirk on her lips. Pinkie snickered and said, “Yeah. But Pokey doesn’t like all the things I do. That’s why we do things he likes one day, and things I like another day.”
“I can’t believe you actually have planned all this,” Twilight said with kind smile.
“He sounds like a nice colt,” Fluttershy said  to her pink friend who seemed to fall into her thoughts when she said that.
“Yeah… He’s so kind and warm and soft and blue and… and pointy...” Pinkie started to think out loud while rubbing her neck where she still felt couple of small scars. Her daydreaming came to a stop when Applejack said with a wry, heavy accented voice, “He sounds like a real sweet piece of colt… If you know what I mean.”

Rainbow chuckled and hit Applejack in the shoulder playfully. Rarity gave AJ a mischievous glaze and small snicker. Twilight and Fluttershy meanwhile blushed a little and giggled like  two young schoolfillies.  

“What do you mean?” Pinkie asked, making others except Fluttershy snicker to each other. They turned towards confusedly smiling Pinkie. Rainbow flapped her wings and flew next to her. She  gave the most sultry look to Pinkie.
“You know what she meant,” Rainbow said and poked Pinkie on the side with her elbow.
“No I don’t,” Pinkie ensured with a small smile and a shake of her head.
Rarity leaned closer to Pinkie and said to her with hinting tone in her voice, “I think what Applejack meant is that have you spent any nights with him?”
“We’ve been sleeping together almost every night.” Pinkie answered with pure naivety in her voice. She earned happy sighs and giggles from her friends.
“So you’ve done it?” Rainbow asked, fluttering her eyelashes.
“Done what?” Pinkie asked, tilting her head.
“Took a roll in the hay?” Applejack continued with a wink. Rainbow jumped back next to her on the sofa and laid her head on Applejack’s lap.
“What now?” pink pony said while the confused smile started to change into a confused frown. She turned towards Twilight for help.
“Had intercourse?” Twilight tried with a sheepish smile.
“What the hay does that even mean!?” Pinkie now almost shouted, waving her hooves around annoyedly.

“Had sex...” Fluttershy said meekly, peeking her head from behind Rarity. Everypony turned towards her and she hid behind Rarity again. Rarity smiled a goofy smile at Pinkie who was now staring at her with eyes as big as dinner plates. She had a blank expression on her face otherwise and she just stared at Rarity. Twilight was first one to say something, “Uh… Pinkie, are you alright?”
“Yes…” she answered quietly, even though she wasn’t. She stayed quiet for a while, thinking about what her friends had said.
Rarity quickly glanced at the other mares and then put a hoof on Pinkie’s shoulder. Pinkie turned her head towards Rarity who gave her a lovely smile before asking, “You haven’t done it, right?”
Pinkie stared at her for a second and then shook her head with a confused look on her face.
Rarity let out a small sight and said, “And you’ve been together for almost two months.”
“S-so?” Pinkie asked, not understanding how their conversation had suddenly turned to what it was now. 
“So? You know that stallions have needs right?” Rainbow said from the sofa she was laying on. Pinkie Pie gulped and asked with a shaky voice, “N-needs?”
“Yep sugarcube. They need some action now and then,” Applejack said with strange enthusiasm in her voice. Rainbow gave her an amused look.
“Girls…” Twilight started but couldn’t finish when Rarity cut in, “Applejack’s right! Stallions will get bored really easily.”
“What?” Pinkie asked. Her voice didn’t have any of her usual happy bubbliness in it.Twilight and Fluttershy seemed to have noticed her confusion. Fluttershy peeked from behind Rarity and tried, “Umm... I think that we should sto...”
Now it was Rainbow who interrupted, “Yeah! They might even lose interest!”

That was bad. Pinkie Pie gasped and lifted her hooves to her mouth. Twilight and Fluttershy glanced at each other and then Twilight was going to say something, but Pinkie was quicker, “Oh no! What if he has lost interest in me!?”
Everypony went silent, except Pinkie Pie who had her her head flung low.
“A-and if he has lost interest in me…” tears started to form in her eyes. “That means he doesn’t like me anymore!”
“You might be overreacting…” Rarity started but Pinkie kept speaking, “And that means he would break up with me!” 
“Hold on sugarcube, I’m sure he wouldn’t do that” Applejack tried but Pinkie didn’t listen. Tears rolled down her cheeks and to everypony’s horror her mane started to fall flat and straight down her shoulders. 
“And then I would need to live without Pokey…” Pinkie said and looked at her friends sadly. She then added with terrified voice, “Forever!”
Rainbow Dash squirmed on her place a little. She had once before seen Pinkie like that and knew that it was seriously not a good thing. Now was her time to try calm down her friend.
“Pinks, calm down. It’s not like that,” She said to Pinkie who rose up. She swept her eyes quickly and said, “I need to go now.”
With that she dashed towards the door, swung it open and was gone before anypony could do anything. They just stared at the open door of the treehouse with their mouths open. 

“Nice going girls,” Twilight said after she had recovered from the confusion. Rarity, Applejack and Rainbow Dash turned towards her and had embarrassed and guilty looks on their faces. Fluttershy meanwhile just looked at the open door with sad gloomy expression.
“I think we should go after her,” she said with her small voice and turned towards Twilight. She downed her coffee with one big gulp.
“Agreed,” she then said and rose from the sofa.
