//------------------------------// // Chapter 1 One adorable problem to another bad morning. // Story: Love Trouble Or Being A Cuddle Target From Ponies. // by Neutral Boy //------------------------------// Equestrian world, Twilight's Castle before midnight... Putting aside to see this adorable moment, Twilight and Rarity used their magic to lift up Cody in the air. Lucky it didn't do anything to him and that he feels somehow comfortable with Rainbow Dash. For her struggles upon giving up, she gasps a bit when he uses one of his hands to scratch her ears. She tried to fight it at first, but it was too much to bare her and that she purrs like a cat then closes her eyes while feeling the pressure of relaxation. The girls were trying not to laugh at how Rainbow is now being soft in Cody's arms to see him scratch her ears. This just got an opportunity for them to know of what it feels like from a human's touch of feeling the exact same way. So anyways, the girls we're now heading back to Twilight's new home while Pinkie Pie is still trying to bounce up into Cody's arms, but it was not going to work. So she has been putting in to some thinking of some way to try anything. "Can I get an ear scratch from you Mr. Cody to feel your magical fingers and maybe a nice 'BIG' cuddle as well, huh?" Pinkie said with a big wide smile. "Of course you can." "Really?!" "Nope." Cody said while her smile vanished, but didn't give up that easily. "Pleeeeease Mr. Cody sir!~" "Not one bit." "Pretty please with a cupcake, chocolate, vanilla and frosting on top?~" "Nu uh." "Hmmmmmmm why not a pranking party?" "Yeeeeeeah...nah." "Ummmmm trolling with Princess Celestia?" "Try again..." "OH OH OH I KNOW, how about a good game with my friend Discord?!~" "That would be lovely, but I'd prefer with this warm feeling next to me." Cody muttered while scratching one of Rainbow's ears. "Mmmmmmm a little to the left, no the other left, yeah that's the spot." Dash said quietly giving in some moan and a happy sigh. Pinkie had a disappointed face and her hair was now flattened, but Fluttershy came by her friend's side to comfort her. "It's okay Pinkie, maybe he just needs to greet you to be a friend first anyways." Fluttershy said while patting her friend's back. "Speaking of a new friend, doesn't some pony want to throw him a party tomorrow?" Applejack said winking to her friend. "That's a great idea AJ!" Pinkie shouted while her mane's back to puffy and she hugged her friend hard then zoomed away. Four ponies laughed a little of Pinkie being Pinkie, but had to keep it down to not wake up Cody. Although for some reason, Rarity must of saw something in Rainbow's eyes when she was licking her lips, but Rarity shook her head to see it was just nothing, maybe her eyes were just seeing things. Applejack turned her head to see if what was up with Rarity, but she just shrugs it off for now and walks forward. As the girls including a sleeping Cody arrived in Twilight's Castle, they went inside to see both Starlight Glimmer and Spike. "Hey there Spike and Starlight, have any of you found any book that contains Cody's human origin at all?" Twilight said to hear any good news, but she saw their frowning faces. "Afraid not Twilight, we searched every bookshelves and not one mention of any human kind." Starlight said sighing a bit. "Apparently that book must of been checked out by some pony else, but they haven't returned it yet." Spike said holding up the list of every pony that checked in and out for books. Twilight had some thought to think for a moment, but something got an idea that could work. "Not to worry Spike, I'm sure that Princess Celestia might have a just the book back in Canterlot." "Okay then Twi, I'd better head up to bed anyways, good Rarity." Spike said when he some love in his eyes to her. "Don't forget Spiky Wikey, remember we have more gems to dig up in about a week from now." Rarity said getting a giggle and winking at him. While Spike went up to tuck in for some sleep, Rarity stopped her to let Starlight replace her and walk outside heading back home. "Well ah better head back home too, Applebloom musta came back from school." Applejack said waving back to her friends. "Me too girls, I better check up on my animal friends back home." Fluttershy said waving too and flying in the sky. "Okay well we better tuck in too, sure you don't wanna get back home Rainbow?" Twilight asked her holding in her giggles. "Nope don't want to, Tank will be fine in the morning." Dash said when she yawned and then nuzzled into Cody's chest. "Say Twilight, I've been meaning to ask you, why is Rainbow in Cody's arms?" Starlight said wondering of what happened. "Funny story there Starlight, I'll tell you when we put Cody here in bed." Starlight nodded her head as both of them walked forward while holding onto their magic on Cody. While walking further a bit, Twilight told Starlight about sleepy Cody's sneak attack had caught Rainbow off-guard and just kept cuddling her while she tries to fight it off, but with no success. Plus Applejack tried to help, but she couldn't even pull his arm wide open. That got a shock and surprise from Starlight to see that Cody was really strong, too strong to read out when contained her giggles too to see Rainbow sleep like that. As they head to an open room up ahead, they opened the bedroom door and let Cody sleep in the bed with Rainbow. "Wow he must be really be a good sleepy sneaking human to catch her off-guard." Starlight said rubbing her chin. "This is pretty impressive from Cody, but I better get going to write a letter to Princess Celestia about this." Twilight said smiling. "Oh I wouldn't be so sure about this Twilight, I'm pretty sure Cody doesn't mind with another plushy pony like you." Starlight said snickering while backing a bit as the predator moves in for the prey. "Huh, what are you talking about Star-" Twilight didn't finish as she was off-guard and squeaks when Cody grabs her in the arms. He went back in the covers while Rainbow didn't mind any pony right next to her and Twilight tried to get out magic, but it was no use. "Mmmmmm you smell like violet rose perfume flower." Cody mumbled as he nuzzled Twilight's cheek when she's becoming red. "I think that's your punishment Twilight from a few days ago, I didn't forget now, huh?" Starlight said giggling as she walks out. "IT WAS AN ACCIDENT STARLIGHT, CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME GET OUT OF HERE?!" Twilight whispering her shout when she starts struggling to get out of his arms. "Sorry Twilight, I'm sure that Cody will let you go in the morning, well goodnight love birds!~" Starlight whispered as she close the door and quietly laughing for victory of getting back at her. "Take it easy Twi, Cody is awesome at cuddling when you sleep next to him at night." Dash mumbled as sleep got to her. 'Since when have you grown so soft like that in ten minutes Rainbow?' Twilight thought when something was scratch her ears. She tried to fight it off, but her guarding body collapsed when the same feeling rubbed her neck and scratching it. "Ohhhhh yeah...well m-maybe some sleep w-will put my m-mind at ease." She happily sighed when closing her eyes and purring. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Meanwhile, near Gryphon territory at midnight. Daring Do has been flying by at each villages and towns just to keep a rare treasure close to her at all costs. Ever since her last encounter with her arch enemy named Ahuizotl, things didn't go so well on her journey. Now it seem that she is forced to lay low for a while until she gets back into Canterlot to deliver the treasure back in the museum. "Great, and here I thought my last encounter with a lot of bandits didn't get my wings torn up again." Daring saying to herself. While flying up high under each cloud to not get spotted, she sees a flash below near a couple of mountains. Shaking her head to see if it was just an illusion, she really does see something shining multiple times. She wonders if it's a trap or something else. "I don't see any other enemies on the ground, maybe there's another treasure to dig up." She said earning a sparkling eye on her. While descending down from above until setting down on the ground, she looks both ways for any trouble. When there's nothing to be seen, she sighs in relief and cautiously move forward. Upon arriving to the location, she sees some kind of creature that is sleeping outside on the hard ground. It didn't develop in any reports of anything in her museum booklets. "That's strange, Princess Celestia never mention any creature like this in Gryphon territory." She mumbled tilting her head. "I never seen this in all my life, I wonder what species this is..." When Daring Do is grabbing up an ink to write down a full detail down in her booklet, she sees it shivering like it's getting cold. "Hmmmmm I'll deal with the details later. Right now my friend, you need someplace warm until morning." Looking both ways again, she spots a nearby cave and quickly drags the thing up, only to have some trouble with her wings. "Sweet Cleestia, what is creature packing up anyways?" She said gritting her teeth struggling to fly upwards. A few minutes had passed by, Daring was able to make it with the creature, only to pant and catching some breaths. "Next time when another dangerous mission is posted, I'll pass and take a vacation." She said getting some sweat off of her. Daring Do has picked up an extra large blanket and a pillow out of her pack. While unfurling the blanket out, she reaches to the creatures head, lifted it up a bit, and put the pillow underneath it's head. When she yawned and rubbing her eyes to not collapse, she gritted her teeth on the blanket and pull it up forward while she and the creature we're neatly tucked in for a nap. "Well then goodnight creature, whoever you are." She quietly said as she used her body to sleep on this thing's stomach. 'It could be a he with this much muscle. Still though, I like hearing it's heart beat.' She thought when her eyes closed and sighed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The next morning in Ponyville, Twilight's Castle... When the sun has now risen up above, it reached into a window where a human and two ponies sleep soundly. Cody has been moving his head a bit from the light while Rainbow and Twilight we're snuggling up on his arms and sides. Ignoring from this feeling, Cody opened up his eyes and groaning from that painly early morning. Getting up from the bed, he ignores the things that was holding him down back on the bed and he stretches up his body to get a good composure of popping up some muscles. "Wow I never felt this good in all of my life." He mutters to himself popping up some bones by his neck and shoulders. After opening up his eyes widely, he pauses to see that everything in his room had something changed, literally. 'Nice going Eric, I'm not going to fall for this crystalized virtual room.' He thought snickering for a plan to get his friend back. Shaking his head to be an illusion, he walks over to a window. Opening it up, he smells the fresh air blowing away and feels relieved to see just a normal to not completely bad happen in either way. While looking down to see how the townsfolks are doing, he froze to see that there isn't any human outside. No road, city, college, cars, trucks, guys, girls, or even arguments. Just ordinary ponies in a village town. "Looks like I'm not in Kansas anymore, must of been world war 3 already." Cody said blinking multiple times to not go crazy. "Good morning lovely Cody, how does it feel to sleep with two beautiful mares cuddling next to you last night, huh?" One of the voices giggled behind his back. Cody paused in shock, only to turn slowly to see two giggling ponies in the bed that he got out of. One of them is a pony that has coloring purple with wings and a horn. The other is a blue fur, rainbow mane, and has wings. He tilted his head to see their eyes in strange colors on them, like they we're feeling left out or it was completely something else. There was only one thought that he could say. "What the hell just happened last night?" He said scratching his head. To be continued...
