Ch. 10: Perseverance
PLEASE, BEFORE CONTINUING THE STORY, NOTE THE FOLLOWING
THE REST OF THE STORY HAS INDEED BEEN WRITTEN OUT. AS WE KNOW, EVERYTHING PRIOR HAS BEEN UPDATED. HOWEVER, THE REST OF THE STORY STARTING FROM HERE HAS NOT BEEN EDITED. THEREFORE, THERE WILL BE A SEVERE DROP IN QUALITY AS I AM NOT ABLE TO FULLY REWORK THE REST.
SORRY ABOUT THE WAIT, BUT I FEEL THAT RELEASING WHAT'S LEFT, EVEN THOUGH IT'S NOT WRITTEN AS WELL, IS BETTER THAN HAVING AN UNFINISHED STORY.
THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING
-CYNERYK
As Cashmere and Rarity dried off, all three of us made our way towards Manehatten, although the tension between all three of us was getting higher. Cashmere doesn't really trust Rarity after what happened back at the river, and he never liked me in the beginning, due to the fact that I ruined his house warming party at arrival. That being said, I still don't know what happened to that toad....
Also, I'm not sure, but I don't think that Rarity likes Cashmere either, although she tries as hard as physically possible to be polite to him. Even though it can be impossible at some times, due to that fact that he only talks about life back home, and his "Billion Bit Mansion".
I continued to look at the map whilst wearing the Medallion, which seemed to flash brighter as time went on. I knew we were getting closer, and that we might actually reach Manehatten within a few hours, much to my surprise. I didn't really know that we had been walking for that long.
"How much longer?" Cashmere whined, with perfect timing.
"Not too much longer, Cashmere." I told him. He was usually in the back of the group, not really learning from his mistake earlier. I hope it wouldn't come to it, but I was afraid of him getting left behind again. Although I do have to cut him a LITTLE bit of slack, as we probably should have noticed his disappearance earlier. He was probably stranded on that rock for around 45 minutes.
It also seemed that he REALLY didn't like water. Even though Rarity didn't either, but to me, it seemed different than hers. Like a different kind of "dislike". One that I couldn't decipher. He sure did flail around a lot when he was in the water...
"Can you swim? Cashmere?" I asked him, he tried to look everywhere else than at me as we walked and began to shift from side to side.
"Uh..." He mumbled, obviously trying to think of something clever to say. "Oh course I can!"
I deadpanned, as I knew that he was lying. He could barely stay afloat. Either he CAN swim, and he just wants to admit that he isn't very skilled, or he doesn't know how to swim and doesn't want to admit it.
"Tell the truth, darling." Rarity asked, slightly curious as well, and catching onto what I was getting at.
He sighed before staring at the ground. "No...I can't."
***
Meanwhile, a figure appeared to be following closely behind them, but out of sight. It appeared to be a unicorn...
***
Rarity stopped walking. "Then why didn't you say so?" Rarity inquired. It would have saved us from all the fighting earlier if he would had said something.
"It's embarrassing!" He shouted, not wanting to look us in the eye. "And yeah...I'm a little bit hydrophobic." When he said that, he made me feel a little bad. He must've beed scared out of his mind when he was caught in the river... I knew he was sacred just because of the manic look in his eyes, but I never knew it stemmed deeper than that.
"It's alright dear." Rarity gave Cashmere an apologetic hug. "I'm sorry I pushed you in. I didn't know..." She frowned as she realized her almost fatal mistake.
Cashmere smiled back at her, not letting his guard down. It was obvious that he still wasn't sure about this, but he seemed to be getting used to us. "It's fine." He muttered, before continuing to walk in front of us down the path.
A few hours later, (And after much pain, this isn't easy on our feet you know.) we finally reached Manehatten, this is my first time being there in a while, but it looked to be the same as how I left it, very many large, towering buildings and a very bustling city below. I have to think that Canterlot is much better for the eyes, however.
"Finally!" Rarity and Cashmere exclaimed in unison after taking two steps into the city. I couldn't help but smile.
Cashmere looked like he was ready to collapse. He has had a rough day, and it is pretty late out. And to be completely honest, I was pretty tired myself.
"Come on, let's find somewhere to stay for the night..." Rarity stated, before we all began to trot into the city. I think I heard Cashmere mumble something under his breathe, but unfortunately, I couldn't hear him.
I had a gut feeling that this would be another sleepless night...
We found a run down inn in the corner to the city and decided to stay there due to the fact that all three of us where so tired, we frankly didn't care anymore. We rented a room(On the top floor! Even though there were only two...). All three of us immediately regretted the decision when we opened the door to our room. Is was...pretty gross, and bland. Everything lacked color, and the walls were chipped severely. Luckily, there were two beds, and one nightstand. I wondered if this hotel was even structurally sound, actually....
The motel also reeked of mildew.
"You have got to be kidding me!" Cashmere exclaimed when he took one look inside of the room. "There is no way I'm sleeping in there!"
"I agree! Let's find someplace else!"
I didn't really want to stay there either, but we didn't have a choice anymore, we already paid, and we're running low on money. It's either sleep here, or sleep on the streets. I don't think concrete is very soft, anyways...
"It's not so bad. Once you get passed the smell..." I tried to assure, but it seemed to be in vain. Rarity huffed and stepped into the room, truly disgusted. While Cashmere seemed to be more accepting of this situation.
Everypony set their things down next to the beds. I already knew what the sleeping situation was going to be, Rarity and I would have to share a bed, while Cashmere was lucky enough to get a full bed to himself.
Rarity was VERY hesitant to get into bed. "I think I much prefer sleeping on the grass..."
Cashmere only nodded in agreement as he climbed into his own bed.
I grinned when I realized that I was right, it was indeed, going to be a long night for all of us...

After I gathered Pinkie, we slowly made our way outside. Thankfully, it was much more quieter outside than it was inside the club, and I was okay with that. I couldn't help but wonder what Aphrodite was doing, she looked so strangely at Vinyl, I hoped that she was okay.
I took the medallion from Pinkie and wrapped it around my own neck, only to find out that it was still unbearably heavy, but I'm going to have to deal with it.
Pinkie seemed to be walking around the alley aimlessly, trying to look for something to do to help her with her boredom, she wasn't a very patient pony, and neither was I. So I really hoped that Aphrodite would hurry...
My prayers were answered as the brick door finally opened, and she strutted out. Sometime between when we had parted, she put on lipstick, eyeshadow, and if I can smell correctly, perfume.
"That's what held you up?" I asked. Aphrodite nearly laughed and put a hoof to her chest.
"Well yes! I have to look decent if I'm going out in public." She seriously reminds me of Rarity, because that is exactly what she would say from time to time.
I ignored her before looking at the Medallion on my neck, which flashed a dim orange. "Hmm.." I observed, before taking out a map. It seemed to get a signal when I faced east... I studied the map, and realized that there were only three places to our east, Hayseed Swamp(Which seemed very unlikely, so I shelved that place for now), Dodge City, or Appleloosa....
"Snazzy..." Aphrodite purred, whilst looking at the Medallion. She looked genuinely intrigued, while Pinkie didn't even seem to be paying attention, as she was munching on another cupcake that she pulled out of her saddlebags.
I just realized something. If we have to find another place to sleep, I'm going to have to share a room with Aphrodite...I felt another lump form in my throat. She seemed a little...rape-y to me.
Even though it was starting to get dark, there was no point leaving town, unless we planned on making a camp somewhere(Dammit! I knew I forgot something!). So I guess there was no choice but to find someplace to stay.
"Uh, anyways..." I told myself, gaining Aphrodite's attention once again. "We need to go to either Appleloosa, or Dodge City...that's where the next pony we need to find is."
"I'd go Appleloosa first. There's way more ponies there than Dodge City!" Pinkie cheered out of nowhere, even causing Aphrodite to jump a little bit, before quickly regaining her composure.
"That'd make the most sense..." Aphrodite added. I'm not sure if she's going to be a good help for us this mission, or completely destroy the mission altogether yet...
"Where are we sleeping? At that nice hotel again?" Pinkie brought up, I facehooved.
Darnit Pinkie...
"Oh, so you two don't have a place to stay? Hmm?" Aphrodite scooted a good six inches closer to me, but I retaliated by scooting away from her.
I decided that there's no way to get around it. Bring on the flirting that is about the commence... "Nope..."
Aphrodite's eyes lit up like a fire, and she winked at me. "Well, you're always welcome to stay at my place...I have LOTS of room..." She breathed.
"Oooh! Sounds like fun!" Pinkie added, closing her eyes. Quite oblivious to the situation.
"Oh, it will be..." She muttered with a cute giggle. I contemplated what we could do.
We could get a hotel room, but even still, Aphrodite would have to stay in the same room, and it would also cost a lot of money to stay another night, especially without a reservation.
Or, we can go to the horny pink mare's house, where the chance of...scary things....happening increasing dramatically. But it's free.
Well either way, Pinkie will be there with me, so I guess it'll be alright...I just hoped that I could get through the night with my virginity...
"Alright...fine." I moaned. This wasn't going to end well...
Aphrodite let out another excited *squee* and put a hoof on my shoulder, a devious smirk on her red lips. "Don't worry, you'll enjoy yourself."
I gulped.
"Follow me..." She told Pinkie and I, at first I didn't want to go, but Pinkie almost had to push me there.
Aphrodite only lived about 20 minutes away, to my relief, as that was how long we had until the sun finally set. From the outside, her house was decently sized, almost the size of Fluttershy's cottage, but upon taking a step inside, I was actually quite impressed.
Evereything was gorgeous, and everything inside of the living room was a beautiful shade of pink, or a pearly white. From the rugs, to the curtains, and even to the couch. I wondered how she was able to afford all this decor, but that was a question that I was truthfully afraid to ask.
"Make yourself at home..." She mewed. "I'm going to get dinner all set..." She stated before trotting into the next room. Pinkie looked entranced at the amount of pink in the room, and so was I.
We waited around in the living room, chatting and sitting on the couch before Aphrodite finally came out with three bowls of salad, beautifully prepared in white porcelain bowls. She gave up our bowls before (unsurprisingly...) taking a seat right next to me.
I took a bite and was my mouth felt like it was hit by a train of flavors. In a good way. "Wow! This is really good!" I commented, causing Aphrodite to wave off the compliment.
"Thank you...I've always been a decent cook." She said, quite normally for once.
"Is this what you do for a living?" I asked, and she shook her head as a no.
"I'm a model."
"Oh..." I wasn't very surprised at all. I looked over to see that Pinkie had already finished her salad, and had placed it on the table nearest her.
"Mhm..." She said, taking a bite.
After a little bit of eating and chatting(and flirting), everyone had finished their meals, and now it was the time that I had very much feared...
"Where do I sleep?" Pinkie asked, grinning while looking around the other pink mare's home.
"I have a pull out couch, and a guest room..." She stated. Great...I'm starting to feel more paranoid that ever. I might be spending the night with a rapist.
"I'll take the couch..." I announced, seeing that I was still sitting on it. Pinkie raised an eyebrow.
"Are you sure, Twilight?" She asked, concerned. True, I didn't want to sleep on the pull out couch, but I felt like I should.
"Yeah I'm sure." I said. At that moment, Aphrodite grabbed Pinkie and pointed her in the direction of the guest room.
"Second room on your left, you can't miss it. Oh, and the lamp doesn't work, I need to get another one..." She said, and Pinkie happily bounced down the hallway. I really hope that these rooms weren't soundproof. I wanted to tell Pinkie to keep her door open, but seeing it was already to late, I groaned and began to pull out the mattress under the couch. Aphrodite disappeared for a moment and returned with a bright pink blanket.
"Here you go..." She spoke, handing me the blanket, I leerily took it and hopped onto the mattress, not taking my eyes off of her. She walked over to the light switch. "Sweet dreams, hun." She muttered before shutting off the lights and walking to her room.
I was left in complete darkness.
I was left alone to myself to do some thinking about what we should do when I wake up. Probably Appleloosa. I wondered if I was going to be able to teleport three ponies there at the same time...
A few moments later, I was fast asleep in mid-thought.
***
Later that night, I felt an odd pressure on the other side of the bed, away where I was facing. I opened my eyes slowly and looked into the kitchen and at the clock. 2:28 AM.
At first I ignored it, too sleepy to be able to think properly. It wasn't until I felt a hoof on my stomach that I realized something wasn't right. My eyes shot open, and I was getting ready to call for Pinkie, until Aphrodite's other hoof wrapped around my mouth. I let out a silent whimper as I tried to figure out what was going on. Her mouth leaned closer to my ear a whispered erotically: "Shh...lie with me...just for a little bit longer..." I once again shivered ferociously. Wait...'longer'? How long has she been in my bed!? "Please?" I could almost HEAR her bat her long eyelashes.
Needless to say, I slept in Pinkie's room for the rest of the night.
***
Ennui scared me for a moment. I was hoping that she herself would pay. That mare sure knows how to push buttons. She eventually paid herself(And also leaving a VERY generous tip for the waitress) and all three of us left the diner. At that point in time, it was dark out and Luna's moon was beginning to poke through the horizon.
"If you guys need a place to sleep, you can crash at my place..." She spoke. Well, our luck is beginning to turn! We actually got a decent meal, and we have a nice little place to crash before our trek tomorrow!
I realized that it was to good to be true when we came back to Ennui's house and it was surrounded by yellow tape, and a large "Evicted" sign was plastered on it. Her yard was littered with her things, and I couldn't help but notice that most of it was literally trash, save for a few video games and furniture.
"Uh oh..." I said as I saw the sight. Ennui let out an annoyed grunt, while Rainbow didn't really say anything.
"Well...guess I should have paid those bills, huh?" She admitted. Like I said, I knew it was too good to be true.
"Well yea!" I told her, and she sleepily looked at the ground and yawned. She suddenly gave Rainbow Dash an amused smile.
"What are you so happy about? You just lost your house!" Rainbow Dash announced, gaining a few glances of from the neighbors. Ennui was smiled.
"You think this is my only house?"
Rainbow and I looked at each other before Ennui began to walk down the street, to which we both followed. "You have more than one house?" Rainbow asked her.
"It's not a house, more like a...hideout..."
"What would ya possibly need ah hideout fer?" I asked. She just shrugged, obviously feeling proud of herself for some reason.
She mumbled under her breathe. I did hear the word "case", however.
"In case a' what?"
"In case something like this happened."
"Oh..." I don't think that was what she had originally said, but I decided to drop it for now. It really didn't matter.
She lead us to the outskirts of Vanhoover into the forest. At first I thought that she was just pulling my leg, and that she didn't have anything planned, but I started to reconsider once we came to a small clearing.
"Here we are." She said slowly. For a lazy mare like herself, she sure can be active when she feels like it.
Rainbow Dash and I looked around, only to see nothing but woodland. "Is this some kind of joke? There's nothing here!" Rainbow explained, causing Ennui to roll her yellow eyes.
"Thanks Mrs. Obvious..." She deadpanned before stepping to her right, she swatted away a few leaves and shrubs on the ground to reveal a wooden door hidden in the ground with a single latch. She lifted it up to reveal a set of stairs that lead downwards.
"Welcome to my hideout." She exclaimed, before doing the honors and walking down the stairs. I looked at Rainbow Dash hesitantly, while she looked determined as ever. She practically flew down the stairs, and I galloped quickly behind.
The "hideout" wasn't much. It was actually just a very dusty, and concrete room. I instantly got chills when I got to the bottom of the stairs. There was only one bed, but I did see a few dirty blankets in the corner. There also seemed to be piles of food in the corner opposite the bed, next to the stairs.
"I call bed..." Ennui said, before plopping herself down on the sheets. The room soon echoed with the sounds of her snoring.
I looked at Rainbow Dash, who frowned.
"It could be worse..."
"Not really." Ennui mumbled.

I want a deleted scene where Aphrodite rapes Pinkie and Twilight; then they get horny and Twi becomes a dominatrix and...
Or whatever.
Great chapter, like always. Can't wait for more.

1820916 No, but I'm actually serious. Write a clop with Aphrodite. That would be extremely hot.

Doesn't sound like a bad idea though...
Shall consider. Never written clop before
Heh heh heh... :3
Spike: Greed (Secret of My Excess)

1821000

I just hoped that I could get through the night with my virginity... lolololololol
I think you mean "Aquaphobic."
Hydrophobia means you have rabies!
Aphrodite? Rape-y? Noooooo.... 1820916 Do it, filly. But in all serious I like her. Probably my favorite so far. She's actually kinda nice.
And maybe I was wrong about Ennui too. Can be alright, just...trollish. Dem video games.
Still waiting for Cashmere x Rarity...
Also I noticed that you haven't switched the first-person perspectives. Shame, you've been doing a rather good job with that so far, I'd like to get into Rarity's, RD's, and Pinkie's heads. Ok, maybe not Pinkie's. But still. And damn...I wanted my author's note.
Cashmere is sacred? Lolololol....
Why is it hilarious for me when there is sexual tension, lol.
Good thing I'm always in my secret headquarters with a giant cable attached to brain and controlling ERRORBOT units, cause I can just do this:
EMERGENCY SELF-DESTRUCT INITIATED O_O
*boom*
Only downside is that they may go crazy and do this to your friends:
LAZOR ACTIVATED O_O
*BLARGH*
I'm so confused and disappointed, they are the SEVEN DEADLY SINS! In Tartarus they can control mortal creatures like it's nothing, why are they so odd and useless in the meatsacks of ponies? Bet they hate it, but for now I'm done with angry ranting, I'll just stick around for the ride and Lust raping Twi that would make me laugh my ass off
Oh gosh, Aphrodite scares me... at least she understands consent...
Its Raping time!!!
No dumbass advice?...
Darnit Pinkie...
I have read the first 10 chapters non stop. I have to say I'm not one for POV stories but remember what I said at first. Anyway it is good and I did see a few minor typos
1956611 Holy crap, joshscorcher's here? Well, then. This just became more interesting... And is it wrong I'm using my mini Chaos Emeralds to keep track of the sin-ponies?
Poor Twilight.
