//------------------------------// // Will Buck For Bits // Story: Barely Moral // by TheOnionKnight69 //------------------------------// It was just a job, just a simple priority to ensure the customer was always right, and yet that's now what I make money for... I earn money from mares by fulfilling their personal needs, some casual, some kinky, and some passionate...But wasn't it all for the sake of my career? I needed to stop and think about all of this for a second. KATCHINK! The sound of my misdeeds hit the floor, and shines a glimmering gold sparkle in the dimmed room that I fester in. A bag of guilt, possibly containing one to two hundred bits of perverted memories and horrid flashbacks. Every one of those coins had a story to tell, a sick reminder of who and what I had done...I slowly lean down to the creaky floor board to pick up one bit, etched with a scuff on the front of the coin...A bite mark.. "Heh, I remember this little philly..." I sigh to myself, pressing my fingers against the cold, hard metallic reminder of that night with Diamond Tiara...The night that started it all...When I was eighteen and ready to take on the world... +++ "Alright mares and gentlecolts, put your hooves together for Steve, the one and only human with humor!" The bright lights and cheery voice of my assistant give me the spark I need for this celebration to be! It was the birthday party of one Diamond Tiara, a snobby little mare who didn't take to the happy fun side of life...and preferred the glamour of money over a free good charitable event. Nonetheless, as a Party Planner Extraordinaire it was my duty to persuade any and all ponies with a smile! I fix up my wacky rainbow tuxedo and prepare to wow these ponies as I had been for the past three years, always a blast and always recommended from host to host. "Ho, I sure do see a lot of interesting faces here! The most interesting being the fabulous birthday mare herself, Diamond Tiara! Come up and say a little something about yourself, sweetie." With a toss of confetti and an eager smirk on my face, I reeled in the birthday mare with ease...She loved being the center of attention, and I figured this would be a great way to stay on her good side. This mare was a tuffy, and quite a handful to keep entertained, as she did not enjoy the simple birthday gauges I usually would perform. "Hey there little philly, you having a good time?" "Yes, I actually am...As long as these gifts keep coming!" Diamond Tiara claimed, giving off a cute wink to her adoring crowd of school buddies, all attending with her at the local High School. We toss the microphone back and forward, almost like I was interviewing the attention loving mare. "Now, how hold are you this fine day? Or should I say, how many years young are you?" I cheesily quip, handing over the mic before getting a loud chuckle from the audience of parents, students, and all around ponies looking for a good time. "Well, although it may seem silly, maybe even not cool...I'm celebrating my seventeenth birthday, Steve!" The pink mare said with a grin, giving off the impression that she may have been a little old to still throw a party like this...But what the hay!? Why not? It sure as hell made me happy, and richer by fifteen bits. Days like these though, I cared more about making ponies happy than making a profit... "Aww, isn't that sweet folks? She could be having a kickass party with booze and music but instead she chose me...Let's give Diamond Tiara a big round of applause, everypony!" WOOH! SQUEE! YEEHAW! I take a bow and absolutely adore the loud cheers everypony gave, all the diversity and all the marryment...It was the finer things in life that kept me going; laughter being one stable I could always count on to make me happy. The time then draws near to the raffle, to pick one the many prizes that I always gave to the host or hostess of the party, always free and always a blast...I hand over the bright pink box for Diamond Tiara to pick, meanwhile my assistant gives off a well timed drumroll... "Well why don't you read what you got to these nice ponyfolk!" I said while the look on this mare's face was overjoyed with excitement... "A smooch from the party planner!" ...I blink slowly while she says this, as just my luck she had picked the one and only raffle ticket I had intended to be a joke prize...but to the crowd of ponies and Diamond Tiara, it was no joke... "Kiss her! Kiss her! Kiss her!" The audience cheers in uniform while the mare giggles abruptly, tossing down the raffle ticket and coming close to me for a kiss...Just a friendly kiss, right? I would assume that it was all in good fun, but the shocking turn of events to follow clearly did not paint a kid friendly picture like I had hoped... "WOOH!" "HEHE!" "GET IN THERE GOOD!" "SOMEPONY LIKES IT!" The crowd goes crazy with laughs and excitement as the seventeen year old mare pressed her muzzle against my lips. Strong, passionate tongue work, along with locked hooves around my neck making me blush right then and there...I quickly take my lips off of her to receive a big hug from this sassy mare. I had just kissed a minor pony infront of all these people, including some of her family members! "Well, how about that folks? This mare really knows how to welcome a guest...Heh, and here I thought I was the one who's supposed to hand out gifts." I awkwardly sigh, attempting to keep my cool from the strong hug that this mare kept giving. It was all in good fun until I feel her hoof lower, down to my backside, and ultimately stopped on my ass. This being the last action before she trotted off the stage, giving me one good smirk while she left...If it wasn't for the audience that could've been a hell of a lot worse...Thankfully I que the music back on and nopony needed to get the cops on my trail. *** The party comes down around ten o'clock, me and my good DJ buddy deciding that we should wrap all our supplies up. A fabulous success indeed like I had planned, Filthy Rich hoofing me thirty bits for the supposed "riveting," performance. This was better than I ever could have imagined, as soon enough I could afford to fix up my traveling party shop to an actual stand in Canterlot. "All closer to that pipe dream eh, Steve?" My assistant chimes in, putting a hoof on my shoulder while he stared down at the money we had made. I nod back and quickly "hoof," over his cut and a little extra...This making him sigh and feel a little remorseful... "Come on Steve, you need this more than I do, man...You've got a shop to open up, meanwhile I got a DJ career on the side." "Oh, pish posh Larry...I would've crashed and burned if it weren't for your wacky sound effects and hip songs...You've never let me down these past three years and I've never questioned your tactics once..." I said to the brown colt, giving him his pay plus an additional five bits...Due to the fact that when we first started this gig three years ago, I paid him in I.O.U.'s...I owed it to him, and to be honest, was thankful to have him. Then the bombshell dropped... "Steve, listen...I got a record deal to go full time at some studio at Canterlot Records. It was a fun ride while it lasted, but I think we should move onto something bigger. You're an eighteen year old party planner for Celestia's sake...I could use somepony for the vocals-" "Sorry Larry, but I made a commitment to make these ponies happy...I have to ride this out! My destiny is with these mares and stallions of Ponyville..." +++ I breathe slowly and think back on the choice I had made, a cheap job that happened every couple of weeks, compared to a five year record deal...God, was I a fool! The parties only lessened, while Pinkie Pie took majority of my jobs...I feared that it would be the end of my wacky parties in Ponyville...Until last month! I recall that day so vividly, as I was stuck with a hefty bill from the shop's construction...Then somepony came to the door, ultimately fixing my debt...A certain somepony from one of the parties I had hosted... +++ THUNK! THUNK! THUNK! "Calm down, calm down...I'll have the bits by next-" My awkward stammering comes to a halt while I opened the door, to my surprise , Diamond Tiara was there...In the dead of night, wearing a frilly purple skirt and a bright pink top...She gave the impression that I was needed, as if there was some party I could attend at this very moment. "H-Hey, Steve...Listen, I was wondering if I could hang out with you, or something. I could pay whatever you want, I just wanna hang out with you." ... I nod and awkwardly comply to Diamond Tiara, letting her come into my shop and get a bit more comfortable. It was very strange to just hang out, with her of all mares, as word through the grapevine being that this mare was a real bitch! We then spend the next forty minutes conversing back and forward, just talking...Where I came from, what my interests were, and what made me tick...She thought it was weird that I loved making people happy, regardless of the payment...Which led to the next question... "So, if you are the last species of human, like you think...What...How...? Ahem! Do you think you could fall in love, with a mare? I'm sure there are plenty of twenty one year old mares just waiting for someone like you to show up." "Well, I don't think it would hurt to try, but I honestly never questioned a thing like that, Diamond Tiara...I mean I'm sort of married to my job, and focused more-" ...As I rambled on, this mare came closer and closer, finally making me shut up with a sloppy, wet kiss. The way she did this, while I was mid sentenced made me a little mad, yet turned on...I had met no other human in my life, and was raised my ponies...Therefore I sort of knew deep down in my heart, I'd be forced in a human and mare relationship at somepoint in my life... All of this was way too much, and I couldn't deal with this right now... not with some snobby mare who I had hosted for. I pull back from the warm saliva and tight embrace, a thick strand of spit hanging off the pink mare's muzzle. "Please let me continue, Orion...I only kissed you at my seventeenth birthday party to make somepony jealous...But it felt so good to just be a fake kiss...I want you. I want to help continue the human race..." "N-No! I can't do this...We can't..." I quickly sigh, hugging the mare and lifting her up, almost about to toss the mare out until she made me an offer I couldn't refuse. "Orion, please! I'll pay you...I'll pay you fifteen hundred bits..." 1500!? "F-Fifteen hundred!? For what?" ... "Everything..." The soft seductive word escapes her muzzle, a close kiss taking place and immediately winning me over. It was perfect! I only needed twelve hundred for the lease on the store, and the rest would be a nice little wallet stuffer. The odds were against me, and I had the ultimate decision to make...To whore out and save my store, or deny her and become broke and lose my store... It was obvious what I had to do... "S-Sure...I can come by whenever you-" THUD! "No! Buck me right here on the counter...I'll make it worth your while...Hehe!" Diamond Tiara had sealed my fate, and changed the way I saw the mares of Ponyville. This was a once in a lifetime decision, and I hoped that this was all that I needed, never to do this again! The cuddly mare took a shiny bit out of her brown bag of money, and put the coin in her mouth...I suppose she was gonna need it for when we got started... "Bite down on that when you feel like giving out a moan, okay, Diamond Tiara?" +++ If only that was the case, and if only she was the only mare I needed to buck...But alas Ponyville was a town full of mares with special needs and wants...The day after I gave Diamond Tiara a bucking, more and more mares would show up to my shop, all wanting something different. As the crowd pleaser I was, I had no intentions of turning them down, just as long as they were eighteen and older. I should have stopped once I hit ten thousand bits, but I knew I couldn't...I had to ride this out and see where it would take me... As a Party Person Extraordinaire!
