> Blast At The Beach > by pabrony > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > What In Tarnation?! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I sat on the porch swing sideways with my right leg dangling off the front with my Stetson resting on my chest while watching the sunset. The pink and orange that was slowly overtaking the light blue made for a relaxing atmosphere after a hard day's work. I so relaxed that I almost dozed off if it wasn't for a text alert on my phone. Hey you got plans for the weekend? Dashie must be planning a party with Pinkie for this weekend, I thought with a smile. Then my phone rang before I could send a return text. "Y'all are impatient t'day," I said upon answering the phone. "Yeah I guess I am," Dashie replied. "Seriously, I know you don't have anything planned.” "Prob'ly just mah chores. Why?" I asked. "You and Pinkie got some mega party planned?" "Not exactly. Since it's supposed to be in the 80's all weekend, I thought me and you could spend the weekend at the beach," she told me. I thought about it for a couple minutes while Dashie continued to beg and plead with me. "So who all's goin' with us?" I wanted to know. "Nobody. It's going to be just me and you," she responded eagerly. "I don't want to pressure you too much but the hotel is booking fast. Please..." "A'ight hold on," I interrupted. "Why just us? Are th' others busy or sumthin'?" "We just haven't had any one on one dates since we hooked up at my 'Virginity Party', AJ. A trip to the beach this weekend would be just what we need," Dashie explained. "Well most of th' trees have been harvested fer the year so Applebloom an' Mac should be able ta handle ev'rythin'. What th' hay. Let's do it!" I replied hastily. "Sweeeet!! I'll get our room booked after I hang up," Dashie exclaimed. "Well git ta bookin' 'fore Ah change mah mind," I replied. "Okay. See you at school tomorrow. Love you, AJ." "Love y'all too, Dash. See ya t'morrow." After hanging up, I returned to watching the sun set over the western horizon. After school was out on Friday, Dashie came over to the farm to help out with the chores and help me get packed for the beach. "Which one of mah bathin' suits ya reckon Ah should bring along?" I asked. "Whichever one you want. Me personally, I'm taking my conservative suit," Dashie replied with a smirk. "Well which one is that?" I asked with a raised eyebrow. "Just about all of yer swimsuits has almost nothin' to 'em." "It's the dark blue monokini that I used for the swim team tryouts," Dashie said. I honestly had forgotten about that one. It actually was pretty conservative by her standards. It covered her assets, most of her stomach and left the back open. "So ya reckon mah red, white an' yeller striped bikini would be a'ight?" I wanted to know. "Sure. I mean there really ain't a dress code there but I don't wanna someone to get pissed because I look like a slut," Dashie explained. "That's some purtty good reasonin' there, Dashie," I agreed. "Glad ta see yer finally usin' yer head." No sooner as I got that last part out I had a pillow hit me in the back followed by the cackling of Dashie. "Oh, it's on," I said as I flung my pillow back at her before tackling her onto the bed. "Yer gonna pay fer that!" Me and Dashie rolled around on the bed play fighting and tickling each other until I sat on her chest and pinned her arms down with my knees. I leaned forward and planted a sloppy kiss on her lips before smacked her with the pillow one last time. "Hey, that's not fair!" Dashie protested before I let her up so we could finish packing my clothes. "Says the person that cheats at vidya games," I laughed. "Oh shut up!" After getting my suitcase packed and loaded in the trunk of Dashie's Mustang, we set off to Crystal Beach. Three hours later Dashie and I entered the third floor hotel room that overlooked the beach. There wasn't a chance to go romping through the sand since it was past 7:00. So instead we laid down on the bed and put on a romantic comedy. "So how did y'all afford this room?"  I asked her as we laid with our arms around each other. "Didn't you see me on the street corners the last few weekends?" She answered sarcastically. I sat up and gave her a playful shove which almost sent her off the bed. "Help!" Dashie yelled as I moved over to grab her arm. "Sorry, Dashie," I giggled. "Good thing we didn't bring our geodes, right?" "Yeah, because you probably would've sent me into the bathroom," she replied, also giggling. "Seriously though, mom and dad gave me an interest-free loan so we could come here." "Well that was mighty nice of them," I told her. "I know , right?" Dashie and I cuddled back up with our inner arms around each other's shoulder and our free hands rested on my right leg clasped together. The next thing I knew, a pair of blue lips glued themselves to my right cheek. "Hey, I'm gonna go change for bed. 'kay?" she told me. "Sounds good, sugarcube. Ah'll follow suit when y'all git done," I said before giving her a return smooch on the lips. While she got her sleepwear out of her suitcase and went into the bathroom to change, I fell asleep. "AJ! Wake up!" Dashie shouted as she jumped on the bed like a little girl. "Ugh. Normally Ah'm a mornin' person but it's still dark on a Saturday," I grumbled. "Ah'm goin' back ta sleep." "Oh c'mon," she protested. "The sun's gonna be coming up soon." I rubbed my eyes and groaned at the same time as Dashie continued to bounce on the bed. It was before 6:30 at I was on vacation. She better have a good reason fer gittin' me up at this time o' day, I thought. "Why in th' hay do y'all want me ta git up this early?" I asked, slightly annoyed. "I thought we could sit out on the balcony and watch the sunrise together," she replied as she finally quit jumping on the bed. I looked outside and saw the dark blue sky was beginning to give way to orange. After a yawn and a stretch, I agreed to meet her outside after I used the bathroom and changed out of my street clothes that I had slept in. Instead of completely changing my clothes, I just stripped to my bra and underwear, wrapped a towel around my body and joined my girlfriend on the balcony. "How come you're in a towel and not some lounging clothes?" Dashie asked me. "Ah figured that we're gonna be changin' into our swimsuits shortly. So not really any point ta gittin' dressed, is thar?" I responded. "Good point." The two of us shared a small laugh as I sat down in her lap and put my left arm around her neck as we silently cuddled and watched the sun rise for a beautiful day. After getting changed and packing our beach towels in the backpack we brought, we headed downstairs for a nice continental breakfast. Dashie was wearing her dark blue monokini with a pair of jean shorts while I had my striped bikini and a white sarong covering me from the torso down. "Ready to get some sun?" Dashie asked. "Let's do this," I answered, giving her a high five. We headed out the door of the hotel and made our way to the boardwalk leading to the beach. "Race ya!" Dashie shouted just before breaking into a sprint. "Hey, no fair!" I hollered as I took off after her with our backpack on my shoulders. I almost caught up with her when I stopped and backtracked to a sign that was posted: What in tarnation?! Rainbow's got some serious splainin' ta do, I thought somewhat angrily. The first thing I did when I got past the sand dunes was find my prankster girlfriend. It wasn't too hard considering there ain't too many people with rainbow colored hair. She was about twenty yards away from the boardwalk about halfway up the beach waving at me. "Consarnit, Rainbow!" I said as I got closer to her. "Why in tarnation didn't ya tell me this was a nudie beach?" "Because I knew if I told you ahead of time, you would've turned me down," she said as she removed her shorts as held them over her right shoulder with one finger. "And besides, it's a clothing optional beach, not a nude beach." "Same thing. People will still be in their birthday suits, Dashie," I replied as I shook my head and laid the towels down on the sand. I parked my rear end on my towel as she began removing her swimsuit. "Not going to join me?" she asked as I put her clothing in the bag. "Ah don't know. Maybe in a lil bit," I replied as I felt my face begin to heat up. "Hey where's th' sunblock?" "You didn't pack it?" "Ah thought y'all did." We both stood there in shock, realizing that we were both gonna redder than an apple by the end of the weekend, nude or not. Even with this new development in our vacation, I still wasn't sold on the idea of other people seeing me in my full naked glory. Rainbow on the other hand, seemed very much at home in the buff. Ah guess Ah could at lease lose th' sarong so Ah can go horsin' around in th' water with Dashie, I thought as I watched my girlfriend skinny-dip in the ocean. I stuffed the sarong down in the bag, then headed toward the water. "It's about time you got in here," shouted Dashie. "Now we just gotta get you out of your shell and cut loose." "Whaddya mean by 'cuttin' loose'?" I asked as I splashed her. "Skinny dipping on the beach, of course," she answered. "You can't tell me you don't indulge in a naked swim in that pond at the farm during the summer." "Actually, Ah don't," I told her before she tackled me in the water. "Really?" After spitting the sea water out I answered, "Y'all know Ah'm a terrible liar, so whaddya think?" She then fell back in the water laughing like a hyena. "What's so funny?" "You've had the perfect place to skinny dip and you never stripped down for a spontaneous swim," she laughed after sitting up. "Yeah. What's th' big deal?" I wanted to know. "Not ev'ryone is comfortable bein' in th' nude outside th' bathroom, Dashie." She didn't answer me, rather she pointed toward the beach and then took off into the water. When I looked at where she was pointing, I saw that the beach was beginning to get covered up by towels and the clothes of those who owned the towels. "Yeah, Ah'm not too sure 'bout this..." I mumbled to myself as I headed back to our stuff was at. Ah think Ah'll jist hang out up here fer now. I plopped down and used our bag as a pillow so I could watch Dashie have fun in the water while I caught some sun. At some point I dozed off because a while later I opened my eyes to find my Stetson covering my face and hearing a familiar giggle. I uncovered my face and saw Dashie with a mischievous smirk on her face. "What in th' hay is so funny?" I asked with my left eyebrow raised. "I put your hat on your head like twenty minutes ago and you just laid there," she replied. "Ah'll remember this," I grinned. I finally sat up to see how crowded the beach was and much to my surprise, it wasn't too bad. Dashie gave me a peck on the cheek before heading back to the water to splash around some more. What th' hay am Ah doin'? I wondered. She invited me ta go on this here trip to bond and aside from 'bout ten minutes Ah've jist been settin' on mah towel. Just out of curiosity I took a gander around me and noticed that nearly everyone was swimming, sunbathing or playing in the sand in the nude. Maybe Ah could jist go topless fer now. Won't be nothin' wrong with that. Would there? I nervously reached behind my back and undid the clasp holding my top on. My hands were shaking and heart was pounding because this was the first time any part of my personal areas have been exposed outside of the walls of my house. As soon as my top was off I instantly grabbed my hat and held it against my chest until my I felt my heart slow down where it was supposed to be. This ain't that bad, I thought as I slowly lowered my hat and set it on the towel beside me. Maybe Dashie was right. Maybe this was jist what Ah needed. No sooner did that last thought clear my head, a blue blur landed on the sand next to me. "Hey! Glad to see you started to join in the fun," Dashie cheered as I nervously smiled. "Hehe. Yeah. Ah guess Ah am," I replied. "Sweet!" she shouted as she threw her arms around me. "I knew you could do it." > Hangin' With Friends > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dashie finally let go of me after what seemed like an eternity. I don't mind public displays of affection, but with this being the first time any of my bits and pieces show outside, it felt.. different. "Why the nervous look, AJ?" she asked as we looked each other in the eye. "Dashie, this is the first time any of mah personal areas have been showin' in public," I told her. "Ah feel like Ah'm on display for everyone to see." "What? That's crazy," she told me. "No one's here to gawk at your totally hot body, except me of course. This is just a place to strip down, have fun and make friends. Now, off with the bottoms." "Do what now?" I said in shock. "You heard me," she said with a huge grin on her face. "You don't wanna be the only person on the beach covered up do you?" "Ah'll have ya know Ah'm sittin' here with mah melons hanging out in the open," I reminded my rainbow haired girlfriend. "As soon as Ah'm ready, Ah'll shed the bottom." A look of disappointment appeared across Dashie's face after I put my foot down about losing the bikini bottom. I was still getting used to being topless and I wanted to take it one step at a time. "Ugh, fine," she complained before getting up and joining an impromptu volleyball game. Meanwhile, I rolled over to cook myself evenly. I still couldn't believe I forgot to pack the sunblock. After a short while of listening to the waves and the other people shouting and cheering, I heard a familiar voice. "No way! Applejack? Is that really you?" the voice said in a disbelieving tone. I rolled over to see a couple of familiar faces, both of them nude. "Vinyl? Octavia? Y'all come here too?" I asked, somewhat surprised. "All the time," Octavia answered with a smile. "Whenever it's nice like this and neither of us are doing shows, we try coming here to relax." Comin' here ta relax, huh? I thought as I sat up and offered to let them join me and Dashie. "I'm assuming that Rainbow Dash is here with you somewhere," Vinyl said as her and Octavia set their towels down on the sand next to mine. "Eeyup. Last Ah saw, she was headed fer the volleyball area fer a pickup game with a few other beach goers," I replied with a smile. "Hey, that's cool," Vinyl told me. "I've played a few games here myself." "Ya know, Ah never pegged y'all fer bein' ones that went ta places like this," I said. "Really? How so?" Octavia asked as she applied some sunblock to Vinyl's back and shoulders. "Ah jist can't picture y'all comin' to a nudie beach," I replied. "Well maybe you there, Vinyl but Octavia seems a little conservative ta be doin' this sorta thing." Vinyl and Octavia gave each other knowing glances before Vinyl surprised the heck outta me. "Actually, it was Tavi that introduced me to nudism," Vinyl laughed as she turned to put sunblock on her partner. "Octavia? She... you... holy smokes," I stuttered as I felt my jaw drop. "Nev'r in a million years would Ah expect that." "Expect what? Me being into nudism?" Octavia asked me. "Well, yeah," I said as I felt my face begin to redden in embarrassment. "Ah mean, y'all bein' so formal an' all." Octavia gave a small chuckle before answering me. "Applejack, just because one is formal doesn't mean they're conservative when it comes to their lifestyle. Take you and Rainbow's relationship, for example. Anyone that knows your family probably wouldn't expect you to dating another woman." "Point taken," I said to the cellist. "Say you're looking a little red already,” Vinyl noted. "You and Dash forget to bring some suntan lotion?" "About that," I said sheepishly. "Ya see, Ah thought she packed it an' she thought Ah packed it." "Here, I'll rub some on your back if you want," Vinyl offered. "Much obliged," I replied, turning my back toward her and moving my ponytail out of the way. "Yo, I'm just wondering, how long have you been topless?" Vinyl asked. I blinked my eyes a couple times in surprise as I just remembered that my girls were hanging free. I couldn't believe how I was feeling, the shame and embarrassment I felt from earlier had vanished. All just from having this short conversation with Vinyl and Octavia. "Ah... well, Ah'm not sure," I said as Vinyl handed me the bottle of sunblock to cover the front of my body. "It couldn't have been too long. Ah kinda lost track of time since Ah started talkin' ta y'all. Actually, Ah think Ah'm starting ta like this." "That's the spirit!" Octavia cheered. "You gotta take this one step at a time. Like I told Vinyl a couple years ago the first time she joined me and my family in coming here. Stay in your comfort zone and expand from there. There's no-" Octavia paused mid-sentence as I stood up and let my bikini bottom fall to the ground. "What we're y'all sayin'?" I asked as I sat back down and put my bottoms in the backpack. "I was saying that there's no rush in getting nude and that you should go at your own pace," Octavia finished. "Ah guess Ah picked up mah pace," I laughed as I looked myself over. "Apparently," Vinyl said as her and Octavia shared a smile. "So what are you planning to do now?" Octavia asked me. I looked around and saw Dashie showing off on the volleyball court and as much as I wanted to put her in her place, I got in touch with my inner Twilight to learn more about the nudist lifestyle. "Well there's lots of health benefits associated with naturism," Octavia explained to me as I propped my chin on the heels of my fists. "Really? Like what?" I asked. "Your skin is healthier. You get more vitamin D from the sun while sunbathing nude," Vinyl told me. "And sleeping sans clothing allows your body to distribute heat evenly," Octavia added. "Speakin' of clothing, that's less wash ya gotta do. Am Ah right?" I asked them. "Pretty much," Vinyl said. "Ever wonder why I only wear two outfits at school?" "Ah never really noticed ta be honest," I replied with a sheepish grin before we were interrupted. "Hey! Tavi, Scratch!" Dashie shouted as she returned from the volleyball pit. "I didn't know you guys would be here too." "It was a last minute decision," Octavia said. "It's still awesome to see a couple of familiar faces," she said as she high-fived Vinyl. "I see you guys managed to get AJ out of her shell and the rest of her clothes." "If y'all had been patient, Ah'd eventually made it outta mah bikini bottoms," I shot at her. "So what do you two have planned for dinner tonight?" Octavia asked us. "We were planning on just ordering pizza to our hotel room and watching a movie," Dashie answered. "You guys wanna join us?" Vinyl and Octavia looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders before accepting our invitation. "Awesome! Now that that's settled, let's go hit the surf!" Dashie cheered as she pulled me to my feet. No sooner were we at the water's edge, I tackled Dashie into the water. It felt great horsing around in the water and not being weighed down by saturated clothing. A few minutes afterwards both me and Dashie both got clotheslined by Vinyl before Octavia jumped on top of all three of us. The four of us began an impromptu tag team wrestling match in the water with Vinyl and Octavia kicking me and Rainbow's rear ends. I had a blast, however she got upset. "Where is all that farm girl strength?" Dashie asked as we headed back to our towels. "Ah didn't realize we was fightin' fer real there, sugarcube," I teased. "We were wrestling," Dashie grumbled while I grinned. "You're supposed to bring your 'A' game." Octavia leaned against Vinyl's right shoulder laughing as they followed behind us up the beach. Dashie continued to gripe while we toweled off. “What's th’ big deal?” I asked her. “We weren't competin’ fer nothin’. It was jist the four of us horsin’ around.” “Yeah, well, we still could've kicked butt though,” Dashie replied. “Ugh. Jist once can y’all not be so dang competitive?” I asked her. “I'll try. Okay?” she replied. “Fair enough,” I said before turning to Vinyl and Octavia. “What do y’all like on yer pizza? Ah'm gonna order it now an’ have it delivered around five or so.” “We usually get half veggie and half meat,” Vinyl replied as she looked at her partner. “But we'll eat whatever you order.” “So how does one meat an’ one veggie sound?” I asked them. “Sounds good to me,” Octavia replied as Vinyl nodded in approval. “Hopefully they'll be able ta understand me,” I said as I looked up the number to the local Tony Pepperoni's Pizza. “Why don't you just place the order on the app?” Dashie asked. “They gotta app?” I asked surprisingly. “Yeah,” said Vinyl. “I use it all the time when I order pizza with my shows.” “Huh, well I'll be,” I said as I looked on the app store. After downloading the app and placing our order, the four of us headed to the surfboard rentals so that me and Dashie could get even with Vinyl and Octavia. “So how much surfing have you done before?” Octavia asked me. “I went a few rounds with Dashie at Canterlot Beach before,” I replied as the four of us paddled out to sea. “So you're a rookie then?” Vinyl teased. “Oh it's on now,” I told her as we got going on our first wave. “No one calls me a rookie an’ gets away with it.” After shredding a few waves together, we changed it up to a style competition between us. Dashie lit up the water like a professional surfer and at one point looked like one of those penguins in that surfing movie that Applebloom likes. “Where did you learn those kinds of moves?” Vinyl asked her. “I do more than just play soccer,” Dashie laughed as we headed back out for one last group run. We got back to shore after that last run to the cheering of a small crowd. I high-fived about a dozen people on the way back to the board rentals. Instant celebrities, I thought with a small smile. “So when are heading back to the hotel?” Dashie asked. “Ah dunno,” I replied as the four of us headed back to our spot. “It really don't matter as long as we're there fer the pizza.” “Well let's just hang out and catch a little more sun before we head back then,” Octavia said. “Sounds good to me,” said Vinyl as me and Dashie nodded in agreement. A few hours later Vinyl, Octavia, Dashie and myself got back to our hotel room for some grub and a movie. "So, what are we watching?" Octavia asked as we all began stripping out of our swimwear. "Ah ain't gotta clue," I told them. "Dashie jist said she was bringin' a movie with her that Ah would get a kick out of." "You brought lesbian porn with you, Rainbow?" Vinyl teased with a huge grin. "Yeah... wait… what? No. I'm not like that! I've never watched porn in my life. But if I was gonna watch porn, I'd do it in my bedroom," Dashie quickly fired back. The rest of us just sat there in silence for a moment trying to stifle our laughter. But the thought of her turning down any type of porn was too much to handle and we completely lost it. "Alright, fine," she said after her face began turning red. "I watch porn. Okay? Happy now?" "Sorry, Rainbow," Octavia said as she settled down. "But the thought of you turning down pornography is hilarious." "Remind me, how did we get on this subject?" I asked as I wiped a tear from my eye. "Tavi asked what we were watching and I asked if it was porn," Vinyl said before beginning to laugh again. "Pffft. What-ever," Dashie said. "I brought 'Consent To Marry'." The mere mention of a romantic comedy in Dashie’s possession threw the rest of us in another laughing fit that almost drowned out the sound of the pizza guy knocking at the door. "It's not mine, I swear," I heard Dashie say as I paid for the pizza. "I asked Rarity for a good movie to watch with AJ and she gave this to me to borrow. Honest." "Okay then," Octavia said with a giggle. "We... believe you. Haha." "So who gets the bed?" Dashie asked after popping the disk in the DVD player. "They can have th' bed, sugarcube," I replied as I loaded a couple slices of pizza on a paper plate. "They're th' guests. B'sides, we can still cuddle on th' floor." "Yeah, alright," Dashie said as she grabbed my plate. "Hey, git yer own!" I shouted. "Serves ya right for picking on me," she laughed. Vinyl and Octavia giggled as me and Dashie fought over the plate of pizza. "Are you going to start the movie or just fight over the food?" Vinyl asked. After taking Vinyl's advice, I just decided to load up another plate and settled down on the floor at the foot of the bed. Dashie grabbed the remote, sat down next to me, put her plate of pizza on my lap and started the movie. The first half of the movie was relatively quiet as we were all stuffing our faces. But Dashie had to be Dashie around the time we finished eating. "Hey, you think the pizza guy went back to the store and told everyone there was a lesbian orgy going on?" she asked with a smirk. "Seriously?" Octavia asked in an annoyed tone. "Yeah, think about it. One girl answers the door in a towel with three others chilling out naked behind her," Dash pressed. The rest of us just groaned at her line of thinking. "Are y'all done?" I asked her. "Maybe," Dashie replied earning a light punch in the shoulder. "Ow!" "Oh git ov'r it. You've taken harder lumps than that," I told her as we pulled in close to each other. "You two were definitely made for each other," I heard Octavia say from the bed. Me and Dashie shared a small laugh before wrapping our arms around each other and tangling our legs together. After the ending credits rolled, our two guests began gathering up their belongings and putting their clothes back on. "It was nice hangin' out with y'all today," I told them. "And Ah appreciate th' pep talk 'bout nudism an' it's benefits. Don't think Granny's gonna be too happy 'bout me hangin' out nude though." Vinyl threw her arm around my shoulder and reminded me to make sure everyone is comfortable with me letting my bits and pieces out on display before stripping down. After hugging Octavia and Vinyl goodbye, I grabbed a towel and headed out to one of the chairs on the balcony. About a minute  later, a familiar rainbow-colored beach towel landed on me, covering my face. "Dash, what the-?" I said as I pulled the towel off my face. As soon as I could see again, Dashie hopped up on my lap with a look of passion that I had never seen from her before. "AJ, I know I'm cocky and arrogant most times but when I'm with you, I, well, I feel different," Dashie said as tears began forming in her eyes. "It's like you fill the void that causes me to be the way I am. I-" I leaned forward and gave her a slow, deep passionate kiss. "Ah know, sugarcube. Ah love ya too," I said with tears of happiness as we broke off from each other. "I really need to tell you that more often," she said softly. "I love you AJ and I don't know what I'd do without you." She put her arms around me and rested her head on my shoulder as I reached up and gently wiped the tears from her eyes. We sat quietly on the balcony watching the stars for about an hour before she let out a loud snore. "Good night, sugarcube," I said as I kissed her forehead.
