July 17 [New Explorations]
July 17
Meghan woke me up when she got up to pee, and she went to the kitchen and got another glass of water, too.
It was a little early, and I guess she didn't want to get up for the day, 'cause she got back in bed and put her head back down on the pillow and I asked if she felt okay. She said she had a little bit of a headache but it wasn't much.
I told her I still had some more aspirins, and she said she'd be fine with a little bit more sleep and maybe a shower right after she woke up.
I nuzzled her cheek and she turned her head so I could kiss her, then she rolled away from me to get the light out of her eyes, and I tried to reach my hooves around her so that I could snuggle up to her back but that didn't work all that well.
So I put my hooves on her side and pulled myself over, which ended in my falling face-first into the futon and she snickered at me, so I hit her with my tail and then burrowed my way between her arms until my head was just under her chin.
Meghan started petting my belly and my flank until she fell asleep again, and then I kinda drifted back off to sleep, too.
When I woke back up, I heard a couple of birds arguing at the feeder, and I stuck my head up as far as I could to see who it was. It sounded like a couple of cardinals, but I couldn't see them, and I didn't really feel like getting up to help them deal with their territorial issues.
Me moving around had woken Meghan back up again, and she wiped a bit of drool off my mane and then kissed my ear, and I asked her if she felt better now.
She said she did but she still didn't want to get out of bed because she'd rather snuggle with me. So I kissed her and she put her head on my shoulder and started tracing my cutie mark with her finger and said it was weird that it didn't feel any different than any other part of my coat.
I told her that after I'd gotten it, for a few months it kept surprising me when I looked back and it was there—that every time I'd preened my wings, it had been strange to see—but after a while I'd gotten used to it and now it was hard to imagine what it had been like when my flank was blank.
She said that she thought that cutie marks were an erogenous zone, and I asked her why she thought that. I'd never heard of it. And she told me that some of the early things that people had learned about ponies wasn't true at all, because they'd also thought that cutie marks were brands.
I told her that we'd first learned that humans were related to minotaurs and it was only later on that we learned that they were actually related to monkeys. And the first ponies had thought that humans were practically deaf with their fixed ears.
That was something that when I thought back on it was a really dumb thing to have believed. Owls have fixed ears, too, and they've got better hearing than ponies do.
She said that it must feel weird to have a tail, too. I guess it wasn't something that I really thought about all that much, 'cause I'd always had one and I said that I thought fingers were kind of odd, too. They looked so small and fragile, and it was hard to imagine how they could do all the things that they did.
She ran her finger along the crest of my rump and my dock, and I swished my tail just a bit, brushing it against her leg, and she put her hand around my dock and then ran it down the length of my tail, and I let her play with it until she decided to let it go. Then she rolled off me and slid over a little bit until she could take one of my hooves in her hand, and she felt around the bottom of my hoof, touching me lightly on the frog.
Meghan seemed a little disappointed when I told her that my frogs weren't ticklish, 'cause the bottoms of human feet were. I told her I thought that was because humans wore shoes all the time and if they always went around barefooted the bottoms of their feet wouldn't be so sensitive. Then I told her that my frogs had been a little bit less calloused before I got to Earth, 'cause I didn't spend as much time on the ground back in Equestria.
Then she traced up my leg to my belly and ran her finger along my ruff, down to my belly button and back up again, kinda going against the grain of my coat, so I reached out with my wing and brushed it down the center of her belly.
She reached over and pulled me against her and kissed me and then I felt her tongue pushing at my lips and things kind of progressed from there.
I'd never had sex with another mare but I knew what made me feel good, and I figured it would make her feel good, too.
We snuggled up in bed for a while afterwards even though I felt like I was ready to fly around the world, and then we decided that we'd ought to take a shower to get cleaned up. And I took advantage of my height in the shower, and it was a good thing that I had the mat down, otherwise Meghan probably would have fallen down.
When we were drying off she told me that I had the most amazing tongue and I said that I thought she really liked my butt. She said that she could like two things, so I wiggled my butt at her then stuck out my tongue.
Breakfast was just leftover waffles from yesterday which got warmed up in the oven. And I had some daylilies and Meghan had one too and said that it was kind of perfumy, and she only ate a little bit of the stem 'cause she said that was pretty bitter.
We ate the waffles on the papasan and when I dribbled a bit of syrup on her leg I just licked it off, and when we were done instead of taking the plate back to the kitchen, she set it on the floor next to the chair and petted me for a little bit, while we decided what we wanted to do for the afternoon.
She said that she really didn't want to get dressed at all, but that meant we'd have to stay in my apartment, and I kinda wanted to go out and get some exercise, ‘cause it was a really nice day. So we decided to walk around the neighborhood and I told her that maybe we'd run into Caleb and Lindy and Trinity while we were out, if they were hunting Pokemons again.
So she got dressed and we walked around for a couple of hours. We stopped by Aric's house so that I could make sure his birdfeeder was full, and then we went back to Kalamazoo College and she said it was odd to see it with no one there, and I thought so, too. I wonder if the dorms felt lonely and purposeless with nobody in them?
Meghan's portable telephone didn't show her where the Pokemons were—she said it was an app that you had to download and she wasn't too interested in it. And we didn't see my neighbors, either. There were a few other people who were out and about, though: an older woman who was walking her dog, and there was one man who was jogging that I'd seen before but I didn't know his name. When he went by, I asked Meghan if he was a serious jogger, 'cause he had on tight pants and no shirt and she said that he was.
Meghan decided that we'd go over to Tiffany's before we went to the apartment and she said that we ought to buy wine instead of beer, 'cause that would go better with our dinner. There were just as many wine choices as there were beer choices, and Meghan had to use her portable telephone to help her pick, but she finally decided on two bottles from St. Julien's winery—one of them was cherry, and the other one was called Founder's Red.
She said that the winery wasn't that far away and maybe one weekend we could go there and drink wine. Apparently human winemakers also let you sample their wine so you can decide what you like the best.
She told me that they grew a lot of grapes near Kalamazoo, and I said I'd seen fields of grapevines near Paw Paw, plus some bushes that were maybe blueberry bushes (I wouldn't have thought of that but they also had a blueberry wine).
Then we went to the kitchen and Meghan started getting out the things for dinner. She'd brought some of her own dishes, since I didn't have too many, and then she put a saucepan on the stove and measured out milk and water in it, and I just stayed back and out of her way.
Pretty soon she had a couple of pans on the stove and the oven heating up and I'd had to retreat to the corner of the counter to give her room to work. I got to help chopping up the chard, but I wasn't too good at it.
She kept going back and forth between the pans, adding polenta to one of them and mushrooms to the other and I don't know how she kept track of all of it. She had to keep looking at her portable telephone, too, 'cause that's where the instructions were.
It all smelled really good, and by the time she'd finally put all the ingredients into a baking dish, I was getting pretty hungry.
Meghan told me that while we waited for it to cook, we could have a little bit of wine and relax. And she said that once it was cooked it had to cool before we could eat it, and she was going to make a cake while we waited.
So she opened the red wine and we sat on the papasan and sipped it out of the bottle until her telephone beeped, and she went back in the kitchen and got out the casserole and set it the counter to cool, and then she got out a plastic tub that had cake powder in it. She told me she'd mixed it all up before and made her own cake mix which was going to be lots better than what came in boxes at the store.
Once she'd stirred it up a little bit, she let me finish mixing it while she checked on the casserole, and then she sprayed butter on the cake pan and put it in the oven. She said that it would probably be done by the time we'd finished dinner, and then we'd have to wait for it to cool before we could put frosting on it.
Well, my tummy was pretty growly from smelling all the food for so long and I was ready to dive into my plate as soon as she put a big slice of casserole on it.
She pushed my computer screen out of the way so that we could sit at my desk and eat, even though it wasn't really the best place for it. I said that maybe I could get a table and a couple of chairs and put them in the room that I wasn't using, and she thought that was a good idea. She said that I might as well get something cheap, 'cause I wouldn’t be needing it once I went back to the dorms.
Her casserole was really good and there was some left over for meals later. She told me that I could keep her casserole pan until it was empty, and reminded me that I needed to keep it in the electric icebox so that it wouldn't go bad.
When we got the cake out of the oven, she put the lid on the casserole pan and put it away for me. Then she set out the cake on a little cooling rack and I wanted to put the frosting on right away but she said it had to cool down first or else the frosting would melt, and besides it was important to let our dinner settle a little bit before we ate cake.
That had never been a problem at the dining hall.
She said that we might as well wash the dishes while we were waiting for the cake, so we went back to the kitchen and got everything cleaned up, and when we were done she felt the cake and decided that it was cool enough to put the frosting on.
The frosting was in a little jar and she said that she'd bought it because she hadn't felt like making her own. And she let me spread it on the cake and when I was done I got to lick the knife and then she said that she got to lick the extra frosting off my muzzle, which I thought was fair.
She opened up the other bottle of wine so that we could have it with dessert, and then she cut the cake into eighths and rather than take it out of the kitchen, we ate it right there with me sitting on the counter and her standing next to it.
When we were done eating, she washed the dessert dishes and took the bottle of dessert wine to the futon and then turned my computer screen so we could both see it and we started to watch a movie called Kung Fu Panda. We hadn't gotten very far into the movie or the wine bottle before we started kissing, and then after that we stopped paying any attention to the movie at all.

Ooh things are getting saucy~
I wonder Aric will react.
ABOUT TIME, YOU TWO!
Silver Glow seems strangely accepting of the idea of spraying butter out of a can. I doubt that's a technology they employ in Equestria.
7576209
Three-way?
First off, FINALLY!
Second, if I know this story, it'll be at least thirty chapters before Silver Glow starts to try and parse what this will mean for her relationship with Aric.
inb4 you make them have that conversation in the next chapter just to spite me.
Snu snu!
7576225
Angry 3-way, then makeup sex.
A nickel's worth of free advice for the 2 lovebirds. Different things are poisonous to different species. Just because one of you can eat something does NOT mean that the other one can
Parts of some common flowers are poisonous. Some mushrooms are poisonous, some are not. Sure, the ones sold in stores are safe to eat FOR HUMANS. This does NOT mean that they are safe for Ponies. You should NEVER eat unknown mushrooms. Some of them among the most deadly poisons on Earth.
Of course, it has been 10 years. There's undoubtedly some sort of guide "What it's safe to eat on Earth" or something. There is probably some info on 'Stuff Ponies eat that humans shouldn't" but IDK how accurate it would be. At the least, it's probably incomplete -and at least some of the info was learned the hard way.
Silver, no! Bad pony! Did you completely forget what you learned about the monogamous nature of human relationships?
Finally.
I was going she'd admit love for Aric first, but to know she's at least staying carnal has been worth the wait.
7576283
YES
7576251 Eh. You are entitled to your opinion, but Costco is awesome and a godsend to frugal students.
My main complaint is they stopped selling Mt Dew AMP cartons. I'm so friggin tired of Monster and Red Bull.
Also, they cycled out the Udon Noodle bowls and the lobster cannelloni. Also, I really miss the Stagg Green Chili.
Also, also, the big loaves of sourdough bread are awesome, but what does it take to get some decent pumpernickel?
7576307
I've been carded for canned dusting spray. I guess because they think I might try to huff it.
This was a loooong time coming...
I think some people will be happy.
The small french producer are the worst (or best) on that front. I do remember that one time my parent decided my brother and I couldn't visit Bordeaux's region without seeing at least one cave. Despite being obviously children (and not legal), we were offered to sample everything.
Well, she is lucky in bed.
Aric seems to not be much of a part of the picture, either in her thoughts (much), or in email or phone calls or letters to/from either one. But, they're both young...
I love her euphemisms!
¡S02E20, M. A. Larson, 2012-03-10!
7576266
true, but even then why would they even be looking. Although Silver getting a talking to would be interesting.
yeah, that's definitely true all government institutions. My mom's a teacher and she's been trying to get internet in her room for 4 months and it may be a year before she actually gets it.
When Aric returns, ¡they can all have hot naked nude sex together!
Are... are they finally going to...
Heh... does she think cutie marks are an eroge---
if you know what I mean
...
also YES
Daaaaaang
Hmm. Humans, without specialized talents, are better at multitasking?
7576405
I may well have not been illegal in France, I don't know their minimum drinking age but certainly culturally it is totally acceptable for fairly young children to drink moderate amounts of wine with meals. Getting them seriously drunk is much less acceptable though.
7576663
That's an interesting thought, we've obviously seen ponies try a whole bunch of things outside of their own talent (Silver's wouldn't seem to apply to maths or poetry or anthropology) but I wonder if there is a tendency for ponies to be less likely to try something away from their mark and instead find a pony with the correct mark to help them with it? I human might find they have an unexpected talent for something where as a pony might think that that is not going to happen.
7576316
As far as she understands it Aric told her this was just fine.
finally! it only took what, 326,088 words to get to this point?
Finally, the cake is a pie.
The moral arc of the universe is Sapphic, as we expected.
Praise!
I've a question that I keep forgetting to ask. Will there be a story of a human perspective from one of the human students in equestia?
I imagine that the humans imagine that receiving a cutie mark occurs during a Rite of Passage ceremony similar to a bar mitzvah.
But in their case the rabbi is a tattoo artist.
First, surprising, but I can roll with it.
Second, to all those who claimed they already had sex: I told you so! Silver is way too forthcoming in her journal entries to hide something like that.
7576903
That might be an interesting sequel, after Silver's gone home.
Well I guess they have finally gone a little further on in their relationship.
On an unrelated note, I just had a funny thought. Silver is flying and she comes across a hobby grade RC drone flying in a park. She is curious and flies closer and notices it has a camera on it. She then gets closer and waves at the camera. Down in the park the RC pilot has the FPV goggles on and suddenly sees a large blue animal in his view and is smiling and waving at him. He flinches and is all "WTF!?"
Finally. Just... finally
Having a lover at waist height is good for any gender.
I just hope they don't spend all of their time now having sexy fun times.
Wow they are going at it a lot this day ?! ...
7576370
There was no sexual tension from SG's POV. She's neither shy nor passive about seeking sex, which we know since she was actively courting Aric agressively enough that he was the one thrown off.
From her POV, this was a spur of the moment thing, a nice and plesent one but everything else up to this point was just the things very good platonic friends do.
Meghan just wanted sex that morning and she didn't deny her, it doesn't need to be a bigger issue than that for her, and since they both found it agreeable then why not do it again?
A sign I've been doing too much English homework: I saw the chapter title and immediately thought it was about my poetry book
7578386 And from her point of view, I think this still count as what platonic friend do.
Meh.
7576209
Silver's being bad. Or good, depending on your view of the matter.
7576214
No, but the waffle-maker at K and also the omelet stand both had spray-butter [technically 'cooking spray'], so Silver Glow's had plenty of time to get used to it.
That was actually my first exposure to aerosol cooking spray, in fact.
7576225
He might not say it, but he'll be thinking it.
7576258
Whether or not you count Silver Glow's computer letter is up to you, of course, but I had actually written that before you commented.
7576269

YES! FINALLY!! AFTER ALL THIS TIME THE SEXUAL TENSION IS OVER!!! THANK YOU!!!!
7576283
Now that's kinky.
7576295
This is important, and often overlooked in first-contact fics.
Sort of including this one.
Mainly because it's not my intention to accidentally poison any of the characters.
Yeah, for the sake of this story, we're gonna assume that all the common foods have been tested so that they know what ponies can eat, and Silver Glow has also read a guide of foods to avoid.
As I recall, I was discussing this topic with someone else earlier, and he said that there were no foods which were poisonous to humans but not horses.* (Obviously it didn't cover magical plants; I can imagine some poor human in Equestria trying to make a bouquet of Poison Joke flowers.)
____________________________________________________
*IIRC, poison ivy or poison oak isn't poisonous to a horse, but it's also not something a human is likely to eat.
7576316
She learned that casual lesbianism is okay, as long as everyone knows about the other person.
For some things, Peggy and Christine aren't the best life coaches.
7576328
:heart;
7576339
They have sourdough bread at Costco? Hmm. Haven't had good sourdough bread in a good long time.
FWIW, Meijer bakery has pumpernickel, although I'm not sure how decent it is. I like it, but I can't say for sure how authentic it is.
That stuff's got bitterant in it now, so it's not nearly as huffable as it used to be.
Man, when I was a kid, nobody thought anything of me buying plastic cement and Testors paint that would get you high enough to hunt ducks with a rake. (That wasn't why I bought it; that was just a consequence of building models in the basement with the windows closed.) Hell, one brand even had chloroform in it.
7576370
Some guys are okay with their girlfriend being a casual lesbian.
7576405
I think the French have a healthy attitude towards the stuff--sometimes, in moderation, it's okay no matter what your age.
The first alcohol I drank was in France, and I couldn't have been much older than 12. We had a traditional French dinner, and that meant wine for everyone.
7576425
Plus she knows that he's busy with theatre stuff right now, and doesn't want to bother him.
7576462
Say no more, say no more.
7576497
7576507
The Meijer security team is pretty on the ball. They probably noticed . . . and she flew off before one of the employees could go out to confront her. Good chance that she'll be more closely watched next time she's in the store.
Especially because they saw when Mister Salvatore took that man down.
How long does it take to string a wire? I have to assume that the school has internet. . . .
7576512
7576522
You know it.
That's such a common trope, I had to subvert it.
7576663
I don't think that's necessarily so: cooking is a skillset that Silver Glow hasn't got at all. Probably Pinkie Pie could bake rings around Meghan. Also see below.
7576689
That's a tough call. Obviously, it would be ideal to get a pony with the right cutie mark to help you out, but I think it would depend on the task. I mean, I assume that most earth ponies can cook, regardless of their cutie mark, and of course we know that nearly all unicorns can use TK, and there are probably some other skills that most ponies in a particular tribe or just in general know. In my hedcanon, lots of ponies help during harvest time, even if that's not where their special talents lie--it's just the logical thing to do (and we've seen that the whole Apple family can help build a barn, even though few/none of them have barn-related cutie marks).
In a way, I think that it might really depend on what you're trying to do. You probably wouldn't hesitate to have a friend put up some drywall or help you paint, but you're probably not going to ask that friend if he wants to help stitch up a laceration on your arm. You probably wouldn't ask even if your friend was a veterinarian.
I don't know if France really has a minimum drinking age (although they may have a minimum age where you can buy alcohol. I think I read somewhere once that if the parents think it's okay, than it is.
7576699
Peggy and Christine did, too. More or less.
7576799
Did you do the math? Because that sounds like a plausible number.
7576867
7576887
7576903
I am not currently planning one, but I wouldn't rule it out. If I did, it wouldn't be as long, or update daily, because daily updates are insane.
7576963
"Mazel Tov--you're an adult now! What do you want for a tramp stamp?"
7577008
College is for experimentation.
Also, yes. Silver Glow wouldn't forget to mention that she had sex with someone.
7577184
Oh man, I've got to use that. If she came up from behind it, he'd never know until she got in front of it. Or she could be checking it out when he turns it around.
You've probably already seen this (or something like it), but just the same:
That would be a hell of a thing to see through your FPV goggles.
7577389
Or course not! Silver Glow's got a life outside the bedroom.
7577720
College kids, man. Lots of stamina.
7578386
Exactly! Some fun bonding between friends.
7578635
No, from Silver Glow's perspective, this is different than anything else they've done so far. I mean, it's something that close friends might do, but it's different than showering together or sleeping together.
7578466
I hope there's some good poetry in there.
Maybe you can share Silver Glow's perspective of one of the poems.

7589679 What I meant to say is that it's still no big deal. Sure it's another step, but it still something normal to do with some of your closest friend without necessecerly being in love. (Although friendship is something very similar to love, if different aside from scale)
