Amber Reverie had a weird, first time experience with Rainbow Dash; she accidentally touched her hoof, and Rainbow got mad that she did. Since then, Amber has had a new outlook on... hooves. She wants to tell some of her best friends, but whether or not they'll be accepting has Amber nervous. Hopefully, she can tell the truth as easily to Rainbow Dash than her other friends.

Timid Nature

Amber was trotting along to one of her best friend’s house, Fluttershy, to have a day to themselves. Their day consisted of a small brunch, then for a walk in the park, and eventually, a small, sweet treat at Sugarcube Corner. However, Amber was also on her way to open up to her about a very well kept secret that nopony knew about. She was excited, but also very scared about what the consequences could be. Her trotting was quickly slowing down into a near creep in front of Fluttershy’s grove. Turning into her porch, and she was at a standstill; her mind running through with so many scenarios that could go right, or wrong. She gulped, and took the final steps towards the door, preparing herself mentally for the question later on.

She tapped on the door, waiting for a couple of seconds before Fluttershy opened the door. She greeted her with a warm smile. Her voice kept the same timid tone, despite how happy she was to see her, “Hi, Amber!”

“Hiya, Fluttershy! How are you doing today?”

“Oh, I’m doing swell, thank you. I hope the day’s treating you well, too?”

“As dandy as the sun!”

“Great! Please, come in. I just finished making us a snack.”

Amber stepped into her home. This was her first time in her home, so she took the time to admire some of the smaller details. It was a bit hard for her to move about in her house, considering a lot of the stuff around her was so neat, and well kempt, and she didn’t want to mess anything up. She slowly walked over to her couch, and sat down. Fluttershy left to go to the kitchen to grab the snack she mentioned.

As Amber sat here, she kept thinking when, and how she’d pop the question to her friend. She could come straight out with it, or she can wait until it’s a relevant topic for her to bring it up. She was going to go with the former, and would wait until she’d come back from the kitchen.

Fluttershy came back with a tray on her back. Amber noticed her slight struggle with keeping the tray balanced, and immediately helped her. Her horn began to glow, and the tray was suddenly surrounded by magic as it lifted off of her back, and onto the table. Fluttershy took her seat next to her, “Thank you, Amber. This is flavoured hay. I don’t know what it tastes like, but the lovely pony told me it’s really good”.

Amber took a nibble from the small pile in front. A flavourful burst of berries exploded from the first bite, and a hint of mint rose from the back of her throat. Her eyes widened with satisfaction, “Golly, Fluttershy, this is really good!”

She took the same sized bite as Amber, “Oh my, this is nice! If we have this, we don’t have to stop by Sugarcube Corner later on. Anyways, what’s new in your world?”

Amber’s heart began to race. This was it. She could risk off putting the question, but lose the chance to ask again if they get caught up in conversation, or she could ask now... She was going to ask; she had to. She turned towards the yellow pegasus, “Well, uhm… I wanted to tell you something-- open up, actually, about a really close secret of mine…”

Fluttershy sat closer, “Oh, anything, Amber. What is it? Anything you tell me won’t leave my lips.”

She looked down, thinking to herself, “There’s no turning back now… I have to ask…
She looked back up, beginning to blush, “I, erm… I… I like… hooves…”

Her voice trailed off, but Fluttershy still understood what she said, “H-Hooves?” There was confusion in her voice.

Amber nodded slowly, “Y-Yes. I’ve… I’ve had this dream where I could, uhm… I could smell them-- lick them.”

“How did you get to that point?”

“Well, one day, Rainbow Dash and I were hanging out, and I remember she got really… antsy when I had touched her hoof. I’ll be completely honest, when she pulled it away, I couldn’t help but notice a new kind of sheen to it. It was like a forbidden fruit that I couldn’t have, but I wanted it.”

Fluttershy looked to the side, “Rainbow Dash is touchy about her hooves…”

“Which brings me to what I was going to ask you… Fluttershy, could I… Could I do that with you?”

She looked up with widened eyes, “Do w-what?”

“Could I live my dream with… you?”

She started to blush. She was trying to word out a sentence-- a word at least, but the only thing that came out was panicked stuttering, and incoherent syllables, “U-Uhm… I-I-I… Mm…”

Amber felt like she wasn’t welcome anymore. She didn’t know whether or not Fluttershy was going to ask her to leave, but she was definitely close to getting up and doing a full gallop out of her house. Then, Fluttershy looked into her eyes. The amount of nervous embarrassment in her face was overwhelming her, but her head slowly moved up and down. Then, it was like everything stopped. Any sounds of chaos/panic ceased; her heartbeat was numb in her chest, her ears were ringing, and both of them had nothing to say. It was just the two of them looking at each other with red faces. It was a solid minute before anypony said anything.

Finally, Fluttershy broke the silence, “... How would you want to… do this…?”

Amber let out a quivering sigh, “Uhm… G-Give me your hoof…”

Fluttershy slowly pointed her hoof at Amber. She softly grasped it with her hooves. Holding her hooves in her own made her heartbeat noticeable, again. She’d only ever seen hooves from afar, and never saw one this close before. The soft contours of her hoof, and the glowing aura that was radiating only made her more excited. Then, she noticed something within her hoof-- a crease. She carefully leaned in, steadying her hoof. Her head drew closer to the bright yellow hoof, coming closer to this crease. Suddenly, her nose pressed against the soft, marshmallow-like skin, and she inhaled. She was expecting something entirely different, but instead was met with the smell of sugar-- almost a candy-like smell. Behind that smell was a subtle hint of fresh apples. Amber reclaimed herself, backing off and noticing Fluttershy’s shut eyes, and puckering mouth.

Amber opened her mouth, and slowly slipped Fluttershy’s hoof into her mouth. The same taste was spreading through all corners of her mouth as she absentmindedly nibbled, and indulged on the tip of Fluttershy’s soft hoof. With her hoof still partially in her mouth, her tongue found its way to that crease she saw initially. She pressed her tongue against it, feeling a soft, almost velvety feeling rub against her tongue. At this point, her tongue had a mind of its own. Once she licked the inner parts of her hoof, it began to run along the upper lengths of her arm, even slightly leading up under her arm. She stopped, realizing where she was. She looked up and saw Fluttershy’s eyes still closed, and slightly whimpering. She put her hoof down. Right then, Amber saw something in her friend. She couldn’t pinpoint exactly what it was, but something inside her sparked. She slowly drew closer to her friend, who was nearly shaking from ecstasy, or perhaps from a newfound thrill she’d never experienced before. Amber’s hooves gently cupped around Fluttershy’s waist. Her whimpering calmed down, and her eyes slowly opened. In front of her was a lusty-eyed pony, giving her a look she’d never seen until now. Confused, she turned her head towards her. She opened her mouth to speak, but the white pony began to lean into her, mouth opening, and eyes closing. It wasn’t long until their mouths touched. There was a sense of thrill that was felt inside both of them. With no control, Amber’s lips wrapped around Fluttershy’s, and her tongue gently slid into her mouth. Fluttershy, taken aback, was apprehensive at first, but her body language soon relaxed, and started to contribute to the action. Soon enough, both of them were on the floor, cuddling each other, almost fondling, while their lips were interlocked for minutes at a time.

Amber suddenly snapped back to it, “Oh my Celestia, I’m so sorry, Fluttershy!”

Fluttershy was covering her face with both of her hooves. At first, Amber thought it might have been out of embarrassment, but Fluttershy was merely flustered. From the looks of her body language, she actually liked what had just happened, “Gosh, Amber… I didn’t think you had liked me that much…”

“I-I don’t know what came over me. I just… You, and, the hoof, and--”

“Amber, it’s okay,” Fluttershy reassured her friend, “There’s a minor issue, though; my other hoof feels left out… I would hope there’d be a way to fix it…”

Amber’s worried expression faded into a smile, “Thank you, Fluttershy. I think our day might have gone from a good one, to the best one”.

For the Sake of Study

Fluttershy and Amber were still on the ground. After Amber's little make out session, she had made her way down to Fluttershy's hind legs, which she was gently fiddling. Amber picked one of them up, letting it over over her nose for a bit. Like before, she began with her nose being steadily pressed into the inner part of her hoof. The same sweet scent filled her nose, and hardly hesitated to get another bite of taste. She opened her mouth and pressed her tongue against her frogs, making Fluttershy jump slightly, and ran it down the back of her hind leg, and back up in a different spot. Her tongue wrapped itself around the tips of her hoof before Amber graciously indulged on her hoof, slipping nearly half of it into her mouth, where she slowly suckled it as if it were a hard candy. She was lost in complete ecstasy.

Just then, the door opened, and in walked a distracted Twilight Sparkle, "Hey, Fluttershy! I finally got around to fixing that birdhouse, but I may have forgotten to make a hole for--" She stopped when she saw the scene in front of her.

There was no way to hide it. Fluttershy's blushing face, and Amber with half a hoof in her mouth was definitely a hard situation to talk yourself out of. Twilight let her magic fade, and allowed the birdhouse to free fall onto the ground with a hard thud. Fluttershy turned her head, "Oh goodness, Twilight, I... Don't tell anyone, please..."

"Uhhmm...." She didn't know what to say. It was so awkward for her, that she even started to blush.

Amber took the hoof out of her mouth and started slow, "H-Hiya, Twlight...!" She sheepishly chuckled, "I'm sure you're probably guessing what's going on here."

Twilight slowly nodded her head.

Amber sighed, "Look, I... Really, I didn't want anybody else, aside from Fluttershy to know this. This was a very big secret that I kept for so long, and... I was going to tell all of you, it's just... I really liked Fluttershy..."

Fluttershy cooed from behind her hooves, "She really does like me..."

Amber quickly turned around to hush her, then returned to face the purple unicorn again with a red face.

"Hmm..." Twilight started to ponder, "I read about this somewhere. I didn't dig too much into it because I was looking for something else, but I remember something like this was really stimulating."

"What are you trying to say?"

"Well, because I'm really curious, I... Gosh, this sounds so weird for me to say, even in my head... I want you... To... To do what you did to Fluttershy to me."

Amber's mind stopped completely. Twilight Sparkle, possibly the smartest, most talented pony she knew, asked her to lick her hooves? Completely willing, as well? She didn't know what to say. It was one thing coming out to a friend, but it was another when another one of your friends wants it, too.

"Erm, Amber, hello?" Twilight waved a hoof in front of her, "Are you okay? You just kind of blanked out."

"Y-Yeah, sorry, uhm... I hope you don't mind asking why you want me to do it?"

"Well, it's obvious you already have some sort of experience with it, " She peeked behind Amber's shoulder to Fluttershy, who was still on the ground with hooves over her face, "So, I figure, ask the expert!"

Amber sheepishly chuckled, "I wouldn't call myself an expert..."

"C'mon, please? For the sake of my studies."

Amber sighed. She knew she was going to keep pestering, no less for 'her studies', so she agreed, "Okay."

"Great! ... So, what am I doing, exactly?"

"Just, erm... You can lay in any which way you want, really..."

Twilight got on the ground, and turned herself up so her back was to the ground. Her arms sat on her chest, and her legs were a bit of ways into the air, not only situated closer to Amber's face, but also pointed towards her. She wiggled herself to look at Amber, "Is this okay?"

Amber's eyes widened, focusing on her hooves, then looked at Twilight with a slightly serious face. She nodded before fixating her eyes back onto the purple unicorn's hooves.
She sighed, going back to her thoughts, "I just did this. Why am I getting so worked up on this? I mean it's only... Twilight Sparkle... And she's doing this for her studies. Yeah! That's all this is-- a little research."

Despite a small courage boost, Amber was still as hesitant as she was when she was only with Fluttershy. One last sigh, and she began her trek once more. Instead of grabbing her leg, she leaned into her hoof. Unfortunately, Twilight wasn't getting much of an idea of what she was supposed to do, so Amber had to sit down, and grab it herself. Twilight's hooves were just a bit sensitive. Each time Amber tried to press her nose into her frogs, she would twitch from the air blown of her nose, and giggle, making it slightly frustrating to do anything. Eventually, she got her to calm down and was able to at least smell it. Surprisingly, it didn't have much of a 'natural' scent, but almost kind of artificial. There was a strong smell of paper, almost vanilla-y from Twilight's hoof. Amber liked this smell, but Twilight was waiting for something far more than just a nose-in-hoof kind of thing. So, Amber stuck her tongue into her hoof, and started to lick her frogs like a lollipop. She was surprised to find that, instead of a vanilla taste, she tasted... grape? It was an odd coincidence to taste grape from a purple coated unicorn, but it struck Amber that it might have been because of magic. Of course, Twilight practiced so much with magic, it was bound to rub off on her somewhere!

She continued to lick her hoof, her tongue going from inside to her frogs, to outside along the ridges of her hoof. She happened to look up at Twilight, who had a face that was a bright as a tomato. Her face had a look of stress, joy, and embarrassment, and Twilight had no idea how to handle it. However, the entire endeavor came to an end. Amber was staring at her for too long, and continued to do so while sticking the bare tip of her hoof into her mouth.

Without much warning, Twilight pulled her hoof back, and quickly got up, "I-I'm so sorry, but I-I have to go. I just remembered, erm..."
She left the house without an explanation, and ran off.

--

Amber took a step towards the door, but Fluttershy stopped her, "Wait, Amber, where are you going?"

She sighed, "I'm going to go find Rainbow Dash and let her know about this whole thing..."

Fluttershy ran to the door, blocking her, "Oh no, Amber, I can't let you do that!"

"Why not?"

"We both know how touchy Rainbow Dash is about her hooves. If you come out to her like you did to me, I'm afraid you'll lose a friend!"

"Well, that's why I want to find out. Who knows, she might be accepting, and maybe that's why she's so protective".

Fluttershy made a whimpering noise, then moved out of Amber's way, "I'll be here when you come back. I'll have more snacks ready...!"

"Rainbow Dash? ... Rainbow Dash!" Amber called out to the sky near Sweetapple Acres, "Rainbow Dash, if you're here, I need to talk to you about something!"

A yawn was heard from a nearby cloud. Out from one of the clouds, popped a sky-blue pegasus, rubbing her eyes, "Geez, I just want a full nap for once... Who's-- Oh, Amber!" She flew down in front of her, "I thought you were out having your day of fun with Fluttershy?"

"I was, but something came up Angel, so she had to go."

"Oh, I'm sorry."

"It's not your fault. Anyways, I wanted to tell you something. It's nothing bad, but it's something I've been keeping close to me, because I've been afraid to admit it. So far, I've gotten two good responses from it, but now I wanted to ask you".

"Sure, anything! What is it?"

Amber went from a confident stride of words, to nearly stuttering with every syllable, "So... You remember how I touched your hoof a couple of days ago, and you got really angry and touchy?"

Rainbow Dash's face when from concerned, to nervousness, "Hehe, yeah... Sorry about that, by the way."

"Well, something ignited in me. When you pulled your hoof away, there was this new sense of... want. After that, I couldn't not stop staring at your hooves, and everypony else's."

"Oookay...?"

"Rainbow Dash, I... I've had this fantasy now, where I'd want to touch your hooves. Smell them, and... lick them...?"

Her eyes widened, "You want to what?"

"Could I... Live my fantasy with you? I already did it with Fluttershy, and she--"

"YOU DID WHAT?!"

"But, she was okay with it! She'd never experienced it at all, and she was in love with it."

Rainbow Dash groaned. It was one thing that nopony would ever touch her hooves, but now, one of her best friends wants to lick them? it was tough for her; she didn't want to be selfish, but she also didn't want to lose a friend. She sighed, "I... Yeah, sure, I guess..." She told her in a monotonic tone.

"Wait, really?"

"Yeah... I shouldn't be so selfish. I mean, I can get them cleaned again, I'm just really... I don't like anypony near them. But, you're my friend, and I should be open."

"Ooh, thank you, Rainbow Dash!" Amber hopped onto her, hugging her tightly.

Rainbow Dash chuckled anxiously, "Of course, Amber!" Amber hopped off of her, "So, what am I doing? Do I just... give you my hoof, or...?"

"You could lay down, or stand up. Whatever is comfortable for you."

"If I'm laying down, let's go in the grass. I don't want to get my wings dirty."

Both of them went through a nearby fence, and sat beneath a tree. Rainbow Dash laid herself down on her side, and Amber laid down beside her hind legs. She took her time, grabbing her leg, bringing it up to her face. It was one thing to see Fluttershy's and Twilight's, but it was an entirely new one to see Rainbow Dash's. These were the hooves that had turned her onto other hooves. These were hooves that hardly touched the ground. These were hooves that are radiating with such a beautiful glow to Amber, she actually gasped at the sight of them.

And, apparently, for too long, as well. Rainbow Dash had to look down to see if she was all right, "Are you going to do whatever you're going to do?"

Amber snapped out of it, "Y-Yeah, I'm sorry, it's just... Your hooves are so... clean. Do you really never touch the ground?"

She started to blush, "Only when I have to, yeah".

"Golly..." She went back to staring at her hoof, admiring all that there was to it.

She eyed the round edges around her hoof, running her eyes down to the small crease in the middle, and down to her frogs. Amber sighed, and started to push her nose into her hoof, but Rainbow Dash jumped slightly, twitching her hoof back in a hesitant manner. She calmed down, and let Amber continue to do what she wanted to. She stuck her nose, and pressed it into her hoof, taking a bigger inhale than she did before. A cool smell entered her nose. The smell of wet grass, and rain was very soothing to her, and kept her nose deep into her hoof. Rainbow Dash puckered her mouth, trying to stop herself from making any noise. The sight of Amber's face in her hoof only made her blush more, and pushed her body to cease any sounds.

Amber looked at her hoof one more time before she would do the inevitable. Then, she stuck her tongue out, and slowly pressed it against her frogs. Like before, Rainbow Dash slightly pulled her hoof back, her mouth ready to burst with some sort of noise. Her face, as red as Amber's mane at this point, was covered by her hooves. She slowly set her hoof back into Amber's hooves, and she resumed. She set her tongue at the bottom of her hoof, slowly licking up to the crease in her hoof, and running it along the inner edges along her hoof, tasting nothing but water, which made sense, since Rainbow Dash spent more time in the clouds than she did on the ground. Amber couldn't stop licking them; she was entranced with her hooves. As she neared the near outer edge of her hoof, she slipped it into her mouth, beginning to suckle on the front part.

Rainbow Dash let out a small 'eep' when Amber stuck her hoof into her mouth. She uncovered her eyes, but still covered her mouth. Amber was passionately sticking her hoof into her mouth, licking every edge and surface and suckling her frogs. Rainbow Dash couldn't hold it anymore. She let out a loud, lustful, shivering moan, which surprised Amber in every way. She stopped, and took the hoof out of her mouth, looking at her friend, who was lost in pure bliss.

"Are your hooves really that sensitive, Rainbow Dash?" Amber asked, setting her hoof back down.

She nodded, "It's why I've never let anypony come close to me." Slowly, she got up, swaying slightly from the aftereffect of a near orgasm, "Can I come out with something with you, Amber?"

"Of course!"

"I, uhm... I like you. Like, I really like you. I've had a crush on you for a while, and..."

Amber leaned in, like she was watching a thrilling movie, "Uh-huh?"

Without much warning, Rainbow Dash leaned in closer. Her eyes said everything. Amber, not getting much of a hint, widened her eyes. Suddenly, Rainbow Dash pushed herself towards Amber, opening her mouth and letting her tongue absentmindedly slip into Amber. Her heart jumped-- the sudden shock of something so passionate, and caring between her friend was... satisfying. At first, she went limp, not knowing what to do, but a few seconds later, she accept it, and began to tango with her friend's tongue. They fell to the ground in a loving cuddle, almost on the verge of spooning with one another.

Then, Rainbow Dash stopped. She looked Amber in the eyes, and grabbed one of her hooves. Amber's expression went from lust, to surprise. Before she could react, she was already popping her hoof into her mouth. She squealed. She'd never had her hooves licked before, no less, by somepony like Rainbow Dash. It felt like an hour, but it was a mere 20 seconds of her lovingly licking Amber's hoof, gently biting it, and kissing her frogs. Everything Rainbow Dash was doing, Amber felt it. Each passing second, it was amplified, and her heart was only getting faster. Like her friend, she moaned. The loud noise startled the pegasus, and she stopped. Amber quickly covered her face.

"Amber! I'm... I'm so sorry...!"

"It's okay..." She told her friend with her face buried behind her arms.

"I..." She sighed, "There's a reason I don't let anypony near my hooves. I like them as much as you do. And, because I like you, I guess I got carried away..."

Amber lowered her arms, "... Then why don't we call this a first date?"

"W-What?"

She got up, and leaned towards her, "You like me, you like hooves. I like hooves; we're a perfect match."

"But... Do you like me?"

Amber giggled, "Maybe I'd have to give you another kiss to prove that to you, hm?" Rainbow Dash blushed. Amber fell back to the ground, tugging at Rainbow's arm, "Why don't you come back down here, and we can try all of this again-- as a couple instead of day dream crushes?"
