I lifted the sleeping Lyra and proceeded to make my way out the room with Bon Bon right behind me. It wasn't that Lyra was heavy, it was the fact that I was really tired for some reason. I yawned as we descended the stairs, Bon Bon noticed this.
"Tired?" She asked.
"Yeah, I can't wait to get home and rest up." I said as another yawn finished my sentence. Bon Bon giggled and rubbed up against my leg. I smiled down at her and she smiled back at me. When we reached the bottom we saw that the party was starting to wind down, most of the snacks were eaten and most of the ponies were getting ready to leave. I noticed Pinkie Pie cleaning a table with a towel, she noticed us leaving and spoke up.
"You guys enjoy the party?" Pinkie said after placing the towel down on the table.
"Sure did Pinkie Pie, was the best party I'v been to in a long time!" I replied. Pinkie Pie started jumping up and down in joy at my statement.
"Thank you!! I'm glad you had fun!! I can't wait to throw you another party!!" She proclaimed as she jumped to me and started to jump all around me.
"Well, we might want to wait awhile before another party. Seems like this one..." I gestured my head at the sleeping Lyra. "...Needs to recover from THIS party." I said as Lyra shifted in my arms, trying to get comfy in my arms. Pinkie Pie giggled and lightly booped Lyra on the nose, which made Lyra softly swat at her nose. Which made Pinkie, Bon Bon and me laugh.
"Well we better get going so you can clean up. I would offer to help, but my hands are full." I said.
"Oh thats fine, I can get this mess cleaned up in no time. I done it before and I can do it NOW!!" Pinkie proclamed as she dashed back to her towel and started cleaning in hyper drive. I looked down at Bon Bon, who was watching the pink blur that is Pinkie Pie.
"We better go before we get caught up in her path of cleaning destruction."
"Yeah, lets get going." And with that, we exited Sugarcube Corner and enter the cold of the night. The sun was completly set and I could see the glow of lights in the houses of ponies. We started walking through the streets, heading towards the house. I looked down at Bon Bon, wondering if what happened in Pinke's room really happened.
"Bon Bon.."
She looked up at me will still walking. "yeah?"
"Did what happened in Pinkies room REALLY happen or was I asleep again and dream all of that?" Bon Bon giggled at this, obviously amused by my question.
"Well let me ask you this: Was that a corncob in those strange things on your legs or was I just dreaming?" She stated with a devilish grin. I quickly turn my head and looked forward, sweating bullets. Damn me and my male body parts.
"W-well...I ummm..." Before I could answer, I felt her head rub against my thigh. I smiled down at her and chuckled. Well I can't lie: For a pony, she is pretty damn sexy. After about twenty minutes, we made it back to Lyra and Bon Bon's house. Bon Bon opened the door for me so I could take Lyra to her room.
"Please put Lyra in her room so she can sleep of the alcohol. I'll get us some water and you can meet me in the living room." She said as I walked into the house.
"Ok then, be back in a sec." I said before ascending the stairs. It was kinda difficult with Lyra in my arms but I made it up and only almost fell once. I reached the top and went straight to Lyra's room. I carefully opened the door making sure not to disturbe Lyra's sleep and made my way inside. The inside of Lyra's room was abit weird: her wallpaper was a black and white checkered design and white carpet. I couldn't stay long in her room though because all this moving around might wake up Lyra. So I carefully made my way to her large bed and placed her head onto the pillows. She stared squirming around on the bed, like a warming hot water. But after a minute of this, she finally stoped and her snoring couldbe heard from her pillows. I softly chuckled and made my way out of her room, letting her rest of the alcohol.
I closed the door as softly as I could and leaned by her door, taking a moment to think about the events that happened at the party. I really didn't expect anything like this to happen the second day here. Hell I didn't even begin to think of a relationship back in Canterlot, Oh what to do? I thought as I removed my back from her door and started downstairs. I reached the bottom and went into the living room, were I saw Bon Bon laying on the couch with two glasses of water on the coffee table.
"I must ask: How do you carry two glasses if you don't have a horn for magic?" I asked while I sat on the couch next to he.
She looked up at me and thought for a second. "Well...I carry one at a time. I take the glass in my right hoove and walk with only three hooves."
"Sounds hard." I stated.
"Well when you aren't born a unicorn, you learn to adapt." She said as she placed her head onto my lap, smiling like a little kid. I had a few questions about her cultures dating rituals, so I decided to ask.
"Hey Bon Bon..." She looked up at me.
"Yes?"
"I wanna know about how 'relationships' work her in Equestria. Like: If stallions are s few, how are there so many ponies in the first place? Dating, and other things. So I can understand what might happen next." She rolled over onto her back before speaking.
"Before I answer your questions, I want you to answer one of mine."
"Ok what question do you have?" She smiled at my answer.
"Well two questions really: One, do you think I'm cute? and number two, can I sleep in your bed tonight?" The first question was easy to answer, but the second threw me off abit.
"To answer your first question: yes, you are most definitely cute. And your second question: I don't see why not." She clapped her front hooves together and giggled adorably.
"Thank you." She said with a nice little blush.
"Well in our society, you know stallions are less in population then mares right?..."
"Yeah I remember you telling me that."
"Right, but there is something else. When a stallion gets a mare, that mare becames the 'head mare'. The head mare is the first mare the stallion chooses, so any other mare must be accepted by the head mare..." I had to stop her there.
"What what what. What do you mean 'any other mare'?" Bon Bon looked away from me before answering.
"We can join 'herds', essentially a stallion will have more then one mare. where the mares share a stallion and everpony has their need meet. But this style of relationship is hard and sometimes not equal, some stallions will have three mare and only satisfy the head mare. Then some stallions will have many mares just to increase thier herd and neglect a majority of the mares in the herd." She finished with a sniff, I looked at her eyes and saw that tears were forming in her eyes. I got worried at this and placed my hand on her forhead.
"Whats wrong?" I asked in really concern. She sniffed again and wiped her left eye.
"Well...I rememdered when I was in a herd..." She started but stoped to wipe another wave of tears away.
"If it's to painful to tell, you don't need to tell me." I said while brushing my fingers through her pink and dark purple hair. She stoped wiping and looked me in the eyes, the tears made her eyes shine and look amazing.
"No, I want to tell you. You see when I was younger, I was involved in a herd for a year. I meet the stallion in a bar and we started talking. He asked me to join his herd, at the time I was naive and easy to believe in the lies of those I thought loved me. I meet his head mare, she was a mean older mare who accepted me but didn't respect me.....It was fine for a few weeks, he would spend time with me but we didn't go as far as the bedroom. But when he started to try and force me into sex, I knew I had to end that relationship. So I left, he tried to get me to come back but I refused every offer her made. Then, while moving in with Lyra, he came inside and started to hit me....." Tears were now falling at this point. "....He keep hitting me for minute, but It felt like an eternity. He would have keep hitting me if Lyra didn't come down galloping downstairs and got him off me....I still have nightmares about that day." She turned her head to my stomach and buried her face into me, crying a her little heart out.
I felt tears welling up in my eyes as she cried. What sort of sick pony would hit a nice mare like her. That makes me sick to my stomach, I guess somethings between our worlds stay the same. I moved my hand under her head and brought her head up. She was surprised, but couldn't react as I kissed her and stoped her from speaking. She was shocked by this but quickly started kissing back, wrapping her hooves around my head. After a few moments of kissing, I broke the kiss. She tried to protest but I brought a finger to her lips.
"Shhh listen...I know you been through alot and have been hurt badly, but I want you to know that I am NOTHING like that stallion. He can go to hell for doing what he did to you. I want you to be happy and I'll do anything in my power to make that happen. If a herd makes you uncomfortable, then we don't need to do that. I just want you happy." Bon Bon smiled as more tears started to fall, I tried to wipe them away but she stoped me with her hoove.
"No...these are tears of happiness....for finding the best special somepony in my life." she finished with a deep passionate kiss. I could feel her tongue wanting entery, so I slightly opened my mouth to allow her entery. I realised her tongue was slightly bigger then my own, but this made the making out more interesting. Her tongue explored ever inch of my mouth that her tongue could reach and I did the same with her mouth. We did this for a few minutes, enjoying the moment we were having until she slowly pulled away breathing heavily. She looked me in the eyes and I into hers, getting lost in her blue ords. She smiled at my and brought her mouth to my ear and whispered into it.
"Lets take this to your room and get more.....comfy." She finished her statement with by lightly biting my earlobe. She slowly got off the couch and started to slowly make her way to the stairs, swaying her hips more notably. Before she ascended the staircase, she turned her head towards me and winked. Welll....don't want to keep a ladie waiting. With that, I stood up from the couch and made my way to my room.
2016510 not exactly, you see I really don't wanna write one of those but the story seems to be going in that there direction. So i might just scrap this chapter and rework it to make it not one. Depending if I want to or not, I'm odd when it comesto this sort of thing.
Desisions are not my forte
But if you guys don't want, then I'll change it.
2016602 I wanna hear your thoughts on this, please speak your mind
2016743 will try harder to post more in one day
Interesting, I see you DID use the herd card, and let the option to Bom Bom, and she is technically the "head mare", I wonder if she will tease Lyra for some days, before declare if she wants or not the herd idea.
Plus we still need to see what happen to Trixie, I worried about what happen to her, and what will be become of Pinkie. Bom Bom looks like a very patience and caring mare, I bet she will be open to share his stallion
2017122 Oh you are a very interesting pony my friend: many questions and opinions. I like that Do not worry about Trixie, she will get her chapter next just for you. Plus, I will include Pinkie in the equation. The key is pacing, I don't want to rush the main story and do what alot of simi-clot stories do. I.E: rush the story for the cloppy center, I want it slow and precise.
Any other questions or possibly ideas, please let me know.
2017268
Oh thanks, yeah, I was kind of worried about Trixie the way she left, and thanks I like that you enjoy my comments, you are right the key to everything is passing.
For the moment I only have one more question and is only by a very long shot. Did any of the princess, have being on a herd before?
2017403 Not a long shot at all, I will explain this earily but I feel I need to now: The princesses follow a different set of 'Herd' rules, when a princess (lets say luna) wants to start a herd, she will choose from a selection of suiters pre-selected by Celestia and Cadence. Since Cadence is the princess of love, she is required for the Royal Herd. The princess will then choose from the selection and decide whether or not to keep them. If she likes him, then he is head stallion and the process will be like the normal herd but reversed. But she do'snt like him, them she will keep trying suiters until satisfied with on or decide to hold of on a suiter and herd.
2017455
Interesting, very interesting…and Candace I bet pas for the same when she start dating Shining Armor, only he only had to pass for Celestia and Luna test since he and Candace already like each other. I'm correct?
Oh and I bet this has never happen in royalty before but…if in the unlikely event, what happen when a princess WANTS to join an already stabilized herd?
2017499 that my friend will have to wait till tomarrow for Im going to hit the hay. If you would remind me when I get back on, I will answer you in full. thanks for the questions, have a goodnight/day depindingon what your timezone is.
correction, I wont go to bed yet going to start the next chapter so yeah...
2017499 you would be correct that that has never happened before but there is alwas a chance it will happen
Anyway, if this does happen, the princess will make it known to the stallion that she would like to join his herd. But as a princess, she will take the head mares position and move her down to second mare. For if you want a princess in your herd, re-arrangment is needed. But if said princess joins the herd and the head mare refusses to give up her position, then the princess can kick that mar out and assume the role.
2020501
Wow, you really have thought in every rule in a herd, I'm impress, is almost like you had wrote the book of rules and customs in herd relationship.
………Ok, really sorry, but each answer create another question, a mare can challenge the head mare to assume her position?
2020530 thanks and no problem my answer do that alot.
Anyway, yes a mare can challange for the role of head mare in three ways: one(very very rare) if a princess wants to join the herd, two(unlikely but still plausible) a griffin wishes to join( griffins are known for their dominante personalities so they will feel its a challange to be the head of the herd) and three( sometimes happens ) a new mare feels that the stallin loves her more then the head mare, thus a challenge is started to decide a winner.
2020565
Oh, cool, and I bet same rule of the griffin apply to Zebras too. Oh man, I know is very unlikely to happen but boy it will be interesting if any of beloved monarchs want to start this new type or herd (If Bom Bom approve) and intrigue about what will be the challenge, it will be a best date winner? Did the stallion determine the challenge? or in case of the griffin is an actually a one on one fight?
And as I can see, a mare can leave the herd if she wish, wait how is a herd wedding work? Boy the family meeting will be enormous and I can't imagine how big will have to be the reception to fit all of the families
2020621 my friend the working of herding are complex and hard to fully understand.
Challanges: challanges are made between the two mares, the stallion acts as a sort of prize. a common challange is a best date wins, but the mares can sabotage the others date.
Griffins: the griffins will indeed push towards a one on one fight, but can change their mind if the stallion wishes to not see such a thing, then it go's to a best date or something more...cloppy.
herd weddings: a wedding can be held for a herd, if all mares involved agree to it. But if the families don't approve or feel that one mare will get the most attention and niglect their family member, then they can forcible remove that mare from the wedding. but wedding are few because all families might remove thier family member from the wedding, leaving the stallion in a fancy suit and out of bits arranging it all.
2020671
I see, indeed is sound like a very complex subject, without to mention the inter species factor, it's a good thing zebras are not aggressive, and Dragons, considering their nature will stay away from ponys.
I know understands why almost everything changeling that we saw in the royal wedding looks like a men, then don't replace the mare, they replace the stallion in the herd and feed off at least 3 mares at once. I bet the bigger the herd, the bigger the treat or being an objective of changeling
2020748 Indeed a changling would enjoy a nice big herd for the love. I might involve changlings in my story, but thats not untill farther down the rabbit hole.
cleaning destruction... seems like a kind of oxymoron to me... oh well its pinkie.
