Pickaxe

"Peter, Petey, Petey, Petey, wake up!" Pinkie shouted me awake, making me bolt upright.

"What, where, what happened!?"

Pinkie rolled backwards on the floor of the train and onto her hooves. It was rather acrobatic, but also just a little creepy. "We're here."

"Ponyville?"

"Yes, how'd you- oh wait, I told you!" She started snickering happily and bounded towards the exit. I followed slowly behind her and stepped out of the train. My foot fell out from under me as I underestimated the drop from the train to the platform, screaming like an idiot as my foot slammed down a few extra inches and tripped me. I stumbled out of the train, getting stared at by a rather large group of ponies and humans. I could feel my cheeks start to burn as I realized how loud I had yelled.

"The step...I...falling...." I continued to babble as Pinkie started pulling me off the platform. "I just...thought...gonna fall to my--"

"Peter." Pinkie called out to me, pulling my head down. "Look at me...."

I did. About a minute passed before I had to look away from her. "Uh...Pinkie...don't we have somewhere to go?"

"Yes...."

Another minute passed before I grew uncomfortable. "Uh...Pinkie...can you let go?"

"Peter...don't question it...." Pinkie whispered, her stare intensifying. She slowly pulled my a foot to the left.

A loud crack rang out, shattering my nerve and making me jump. "Fuck a duck!" I flung myself free of Pinkie and fell onto my ass. I could see scorch marks on the ground I was stood on.

"Whoa, that's not supposed to happen!" A brash voice called out from above. Before I could right myself a bout of rain came down on the spot, splashing me and soaking my side. It promptly stopped as the voice grew louder. "That's freaky!"

A light blue pegasus slammed down on the damp spot next to me and tapped her chin. Pinkie bounce over and hugged her. "Rainbow Dash, meet Petey! He's cursed!"

"I'm not-," I looked over my current predicament. "...alright, fine, I'm fucking cursed."

Rainbow Dash frowned hard. "That sucks."

"Indeed." I snapped back immediately.

Rainbow Dash nodded hard. I returned it right back. She pulled away from Pinkie and got face to face with me. She gave me a heavy nod, I returned it in kind.

Little by little we started bobbing our heads one after another. "Doop...doop...boop...." We looked like idiots, bobbing our heads in the middle of the street. Eventually she stopped and smiled. "Yeah, we're friends."

"Cool." I noted, bopping her hoof and standing up. "Guess today isn't all bad after all."

"Heck no, not when I'm around!" Rainbow Dash gloated, putting her hoof to her chest in a grandeous gesture.

"Sooooo, we should probably go...." Pinkie butt in, pulling me down the road. "Twilight might know what to do." She yanked me away from Rainbow Dash, down the street and towards the center of town. Ponies didn't seem to mind me, and after my humorous introduction I was feeling better about myself.

I kept a brisk pace behind Pinkie, not wanting whatever misfortune was following me. I caught up with Pinkie, sticking by her side and hoping she would intercept any deadly coincidences.

"Hey Pinkie...how do you tell when bad--" She bumped me with her flank, knocking me aside as a filly unicorn ran past, her horn at skewering height with my groin. "Eeeugh! See, how do you know that!?"

"Easy!" She chirped, trotting, if not skipping, away.

I stood on the path, staring at the slightly chubby mare ran off. "I...but...alright then." I decided to simply accept it and followed her. I ended up walking behind her, staring at a chubby backside, bouncing as Pinkie walked. I felt a little shameful, growing a little excited at the bouncing pinkie flesh before me. It also made me wonder how she was so squishy looking, while you could bounce quarters off of the other Pie sisters.

"Hey Pinkie...you mind if I ask--"

"Cakes, muffins, love."

"Bullshit!" I yelled, grabbing my head as I ran after her. "There's- no, fuck you! How- I- What the fuck!?"

"Hey!" Pinkie snapped around. "Watch your mouth, ya Jabroni."

I froze in place, my mind buffering as it tired to comprehend her. I rubbed my head and moved on, muttering angrily to myself. "Tu sono lo jabroni. Hai un--"

"Ti capisco,"

"But- I- fine...just...whatever." I huffed angrily, beaten at my own game. "But at some point you're gonna have to explain things!"

Pinkie started giggling. "Maybe, maybe not!" Pinkie strolled up to a tree with a door in it and started knocking. "Twiiiiilight, open up!" She shrieked, making me flinch. "Twilight, Twilight, Twilight, Twi--" A disheveled looking mare pulled the door open. "Hi!"

"Pinkie, I was...busy." Twilight tried to fix her mane. "Who's this?"

Pinkie sniffed at the slightly frazzled mare. "Twilight! How saucy!"

Twilight started growing red around the cheeks. "How--"

"She's a witch." I cut in. "Hi, Peter Dufort, she's a damn witch or something!"

Twilight looked me over, slowly holding my hoof for her. "Twilight Sparkle, and she's more of a- what do you call them? Gypsies?"

I snapped my fingers and pointed at Pinkie. "She is like a gypsy, like a fortune teller!"

Pinkie had gotten distracted by a bird and was chirping at it. "Um, Pinkie," Twilight called out to her, catching her attention and catching her off guard. "Did you need something? You kind of interrupted something...."

Pinkie cartwheeled over with a serious expression. "Curses."

Twilight looked confused. "Curses?"

Pinkie grabbed me by my collar. "He's cursed. Can you figure out why?"

Twilight looked at me, her face a bit concerened. "Are you serious? Are you actually cursed?"

I wiggled free of Pinkie. "Well in the last few days I've been hit in the head three times, had my tools break ten times, been blown up, stabbed by a nail, and my tackle got bit."

Twilight craned her head back. "Oh...that does sound bad." Twilight backed up, holding the door open for us. Pinkie pulled me inside the tree, almost bashing a lizard as we walked inside.

"Whoa hey!" The lizard yelped, running out from under me as I stumbled. "Sorry, whoa- sorry!" He scrambled off and left me to collect myself.

After a short bout of stumbling I managed to steady myself. "God damn, I feel like I'm wearing socks on a waxed floor!"

Twilight shook her head. "I don't get it. Now if you don't mind I'd like to get back to--" Twilight's horn graced my arm, sending an amazing charge of magic through my body.

My mind flashed with sights of tender lesbians growing more and more forceful, a DVD remote being abused, and the smell of book paper. It was fleeting, and quickly replaced with an amazingly hearty surge of electricity pulling at my muscles like a puppet on a string. My body twitched and spazmed as Twilight's horn pressed against my arm. She wasn't faring much better, somehow getting connected to the circuit and joining me in my amazingly twitchy experience.

I felt my muscles tighten hard under a final heavy pulse. My entire body went limp as the electrical pulse wore off, flooring me. I laid on the cold ground, trying to relax as my body regained feeling. I felt amazing, my muscles were exhausted, but it was a calm, sleepy exhaustion.

It wasn't until I tried to move that I realized the price for my comfort. "I...." I laid my head back as the warm seep turned quickly cold. The electricity running through my body and the flashes of porn had made me cream my pants like an idiot.

I could see Twilight's backside dampen as she hit the floor next to me. "Whau? What happened?"

I rolled onto my front, my member marinading in my own mess. I didn't say anything, I just crawled towards a corner and covered my face with my forearms. I just laid on the floor, lamenting my existence at the wetness in my pants turned cold and sticky.

"Peter...sad and on the ground?" Pinkie asked, illiciting me to nod my head softly. "He just wants to be on the floor."

Twilight slowly got to her hooves. "I- oh...I see...I'll be right back."

The sound of hooves filled the room as Twilight's grew farther away and Pinkie's grew closer. Before I could say anything I felt a hoof press into my back and start making circles. "You alright Petey?"

I didn't answer, I just laid on the floor like a sad sack of crap. Pinkie continued to rub my back. I endured her pity and waited for her friend to return.

Eventually, as my jizz dried, Twilight walked back in. "Okay...so...that was- Anyways, let me just...." She trailed off just as a tingling sensation enveloped my entire body. "Whoa- I- wow...I'll be back again." Twilight's hooves slammed against the floor and out of the building.

I was left at Pinkie's mercy until her return, and not wanting that, I called upon the shock induced exhaustion and fell asleep.

I woke up to the sound of loud metallic rattling. A quick, if hazy, look around found me on a train. "What the hell?"

Pinkie curled up around my side. She was hugging me, pressing her head up into my ribs as she laid across the train seat. "It's not permanent!" Pinkie yelled, not caring about being in a train. Granted the train car was completely empty, but still. "You should have seen it, Zecora came and she was all, Of this curse, there is no cure. Time will tell, if he can endure. And Twilight was all, Aww. And then she hugged you really tight for a few seconds, and said to get you back home!"

I tried to clear the sleep from my eyes. "Why didn't you wake me up!?"

Pinkie's ears flopped down. "Well...I thought...sorry, I thought you just wanted to be sad."

I lowered my head. "Well I'm sad now...." I shifted in my stained boxers. Thankfully it didn't seep through. "Pinkie when someone's about to tell me what's wrong with me, I think you can wake me up."

"Sorry." Pinkie groaned, holding me even tighter. "I'm really sorry."

I pushed Pinkie off of me and sat her down. "Pinkie...don't hug me right now. I'm really gross, and I don't want to have to expose you to that. I forgive you, you helped me out, and apparently this isn't permanent." I took a deep breath. "Now hold long did she say it would last?"

"Four months."

I turned away from Pinkie, staring straight forward. "I'm going to die...."
