PROLOGUE: Welcome to an Alternative Universe

View Online

The moderator of ultimareuniverse.tumblr.com has graciously allowed me to use the characters and world from their Unity is Alchemy currently (at the time I’m writing this) under ‘Indefinite Hiatus’. I can relate. Even as good and well thought out a project can be, you have to walk away for days or weeks or months or even years to allow the inspiration to return. I hope they take up the story eventually.

As to the world: It’s an anthro alternative universe where the mane 6 are there but as the moderator puts it: Different lives. Different attitudes. Same interests.

Perhaps if I continue this in the future, I will go into more detail of the differences. As to background characters, some of the differences are hinted at.

They do later discover another type of crystal mirror that allows them to travel to the MLP:FIM (anthro) universe. It opens for a limited time every 10 moons. But for now, that part is unimportant.

As far as the denizens of this world, I’ll do a quick introduction in the form of an illustration to see the differences and to Identify their counterparts.


Left to right: Ivory (Rarity), Sparkling Cider (Applejack) Stardust Nova (Twilight Sparkle), Prism Wing (Rainbow Dash), Cottontail (Fluttershy) and Ink Blots (Pinkie Pie).
From their postures, you can get a picture of their personalities. They are almost the opposite temperaments and personalities as the MLP:FIM universe.




Secondary characters are the MCM (Manehattan City Mavericks) Left to right: Plume (Scootaloo and that is a toothpick), Apple Spritzer or Spritz (Apple Bloom) and Marble (Sweetie Belle). I am going to take a road with them that probably wasn’t thought of by the blog’s moderator. I am taking artistic license.

ACT ONE: Miner Details

View Online

Ivory had finished up her work day. She was soaking in the mineral hot spring pool in her cavern. It had been a good day and the pile of jewels in the cart was impressive. It had been stored in the holding grotto near the back of the cave where there was access to the private road that came up the back of the mountain.

Now the hot healing waters were doing their magic and the tension in the tight muscles was melting away.

Many questioned Ivory because of her having all the wealth that the gems had given her, why she chose to live in a cave and not a house or an apartment in Manehattan?

They only asked because they’d never been in her cave. There she had carved out a grotto that had been made up with wall boards and polished stone for the flooring, even some false windows for looks. It was as tidy as any luxury apartment.

When you opened the hidden door on the cavern wall, you entered into room after room of opulence. With the way the walls, ceiling, and floors were covered, you wouldn’t know that you were deep underground. But with the light given off by certain gems and heat from ‘fire crystals’, it was as good as any place aboveground, if not better; what uptown apartment could boast a private mineral hot spring.

Ivory decided it was time to go to her rooms to rest for the evening and eat something, so she climbed out of the pool. The mineral rich waters cascaded off her almost perfect body. A body that incited desire in both mares and stallions.

Relations mare with mare was understood as necessary because in spite of the evolution of the race, they still retained the ‘herd animal’ 10 females to 1 male birth ratio.

Relations stallion with stallion were also accepted though fewer in number because of the smaller male population.

Polygamy was also accepted but the practitioners were few with the exception around the Salt Lick City area.

But as desirable as she was, Ivory didn’t make time for such things. Work came first and truth be told, she’d never met any other pony that aroused her interest.

She scooped up her clothing but didn’t worry about getting dressed. She was down here alone so who’d notice? Maybe her little sister who’d would drop in on her once in a while, but there was nothing to hide from her. Quite often she and Marble would lounge in the hot spring together.

Marble was a little jealous that her sister’s body was so hot and she was ‘just blooming’. Marble also envied Ivory’s wealth as well, although Ivory was very generous with the bits she’d give her ‘baby’ sister.

Ivory had an almost motherly love for her sister who was almost young enough to be a daughter. But Ivory would tell marble that she was just as skinny and underdeveloped as she was when she was Marble’s age.

“Give it time, Darlin’,” Ivory would say.

But truthfully, she’d never liked that answer when she was Marble’s age either.

As Ivory went into her ‘apartment’ she saw the note she left herself, sitting on the coffee table in the living room.

“Crap!” she exclaimed to herself. She’d been so busy that she forgot the important appointment.

She had less than forty-five minutes to be downtown and meet with some business mare about a very large order.

Hurriedly she put on a nice business suit including a mid-length skirt. It was nice but not too over the top. Ivory rarely wore skirts or dresses. Not best for mining, plus she didn’t know why she decided to wear this outfit. But later she’d be happy she did.

She applied the slightest amount of mascara, a hint of blush, eye shadow and eyeliner. Then she exited the room and headed to the elevator that took her to the world above.

Ivory’s friend, Stardust Nova, often kidded that Ivory lived a troglodyte lifestyle. But what other cave dweller could boast a bank account as large as hers or a garage full of sport and luxury cars? not to mention motorcycles.

But cave dwelling had a couple drawbacks. Ivory was glad it was getting dusk, that way she didn’t have to deal with the painful getting her eyes adjusted to sunlight. She chose her favorite car parked in the garage where the lift was located. Ivory was in it and gone in no time flat.

Driving with the top down, she sometimes forgot the feel of the cool evening air and the beauty of the stars coming out. The sparkle of the crystal in the ceiling of the cavern were beautiful, but they didn’t match the real stars.

Ivory was seen by many as a very stallion like mare. She was what others would say was drop-dead-gorgeous. She stood 6’ 2” without heels, muscles that were rock hard and she was a bit gruff at times with a risqué sense of humor. But she was all mare inside. She really did like ‘girly’ things but her lifestyle made it impractical to dress up and put on makeup just to swing a pickax all day.

As Sparkling Cider entered the restaurant, she was recognized by the Maître D' as the business mare that supplied the restaurant with its fine ciders.

“Is my table ready?” asked Sparkling reaching out a hand to shake the hand of the Maître D' who took it and then gallantly kissed the back of her hand.

“Ms. Cider,” said the head waiter, “your table is always ready.”

“I’m early, but there’ll be two of us tonight,” said Sparkling.

“Very good, Ms. Cider,” said the head waiter.

She was led to the table, the reserved sign was removed and the Maître D' called over a waiter, who quickly brought over glasses of sparkling water with lemon. Sparkling ordered a bottle of their best cider (her brand) and two glasses. Aside from her line of fine ciders, she also had a line of beauty products.

Originally just lotions, creams and soaps. But she had expanded to include makeups.

This was the reason for the meeting. Some of her makeups used pulverized substandard or industrial grade gemstones for color and sparkle. Unfortunately, the supply from southern Equestria had been slowing and the quality was dropping as the prices had been increasing.

Her friend, cartoonist and artist, Ink Blots, had mentioned that there was a gem and fine crystals miner and supplier just outside of Manehattan. Word was it was some of the finest stones in Equestria.

Sparkling thought it over and was afraid that if the quality was that good, there’d be major bits involved. But she wouldn’t know if she didn’t look into it. So she contacted the owner of the mine and made an appointment for tonight.

Arriving at the restaurant where she was to meet the client, Ivory pulled up to the front and allowed the valet to park. Ivory was amused at the valet because she couldn’t stop checking her out. Entering the establishment, she inquired if her client was already there. She was informed that the lady had been waiting for twenty minutes (Ivory wasn’t late, Sparkling was early). Ivory gave the Maître D' a 50 bit note and she was led into the restaurant.

At the table she was being led, was a petite mare with short, styled blond hair and green eyes that shown like stars. Ivory noticed that her short cut blond hair was mirrored with the short (stylish) tail.

To tell the truth, she was breath taking!

Ivory suddenly was glad she’d chosen the outfit but wished she’d put some thought to the minor amount of makeup she’d put on.

Sparkling Cider had been looking over some proposal documents and a draft contract when movement in her direction caused her to look up.

She saw the Maître D' leading a mare in her direction. Mare was probably the wrong word. She appeared to be a living goddess who’s almost pure white coloration and sapphire blue eyes made her look like she was a marble statue that had come to life.

Sparkling was afraid she was going to drool.

The Maître D' motioned to the table. As Ivory approached, Sparkling stood. She was amazed at the height difference, Ivory had to be at least a foot taller if not more, and she wasn’t wearing ‘heels’. Ivory extended a hand in greeting.

“Hello, I’m Ivory, delighted to meet you,” said the mare in a pleasant and almost husky voice.

“Very pleased to make your acquaintance, I’m Sparkling Cider.” Said the mare in a voice that put music to shame.

The hand shake was gentle, but Sparkling could feel the rough hands of someone who’d worked at physical labor all her life. Also she could tell that this hand could have crushed hers, literally, if so inclined. Such was the strength that was hinted. Sparkling was having trouble remembering why she was here. Such was the attraction and yes, arousal she was feeling.

Ivory thought how dainty and soft this mare’s hand was. The type of hand that would be Elysium if it were giving a back rub. Just the touch would be exciting and perhaps, arousing.

She was afraid that if she didn’t pay attention, she’d sign over the entire claim to this beautiful mare just because she asked it and not realize what she’d done until later.

Sparkling Cider? How appropriate,’ thought Ivory, ‘everything about this mare is intoxicating!’

They sat and ordered dinner, Ivory insisted that they not talk business until they’d eaten. She also insisted that she’d be picking up the cheque.

Since the first days that the pony race had risen in intelligence from the four footed and hoofed Equus Ferus Caballus to the bipedal and multiple-digit Equus Ferus Sapiens; the strict herbivorous diet had changed into a omnivorous diet. Many Neo-Ponies or (just Ponies as they still referred to themselves even though there were actual Equus Ferus Caballus ponies still in existence) still stuck to the mostly vegetarian diet; such as Ivory was assuming from her order that Sparkling Cider was one such pony. Others allowed themselves the consumption of meat.

It was conjectured that do to some ecological disaster in the past, the ponies had to scavenge meat as a way to survive as do all herbivores in times of decreased food supply or the food supply lacked some nutrient such as calcium or phosphorus. It was now thought that the consumption of the extra protein had jumpstarted the development of the equine brain.

Which because of the extra need for the manipulation of things in the environment (for those who didn’t have magic), the hooves had changed to hands and feet. The vestigial 3 toes had changed to 4 fingers and an opposable thumb with five toes on their feet.

As far as magic went, those of the Unicorn race still retained a small amount. But nothing like it had been in the past. Mostly levitation and other abilities as their ‘special talents’ required. Just as Pegasi had retained wings and the ability to fly, though maybe not as well as in the past.

After hearing the very attractive mare she was dining with order a dinner salad with cheese and nuts, Ivory thought that to avoid any debate or affront, she’d order a chef salad hoping that the little meat would be acceptable. But Sparkling had ordered her salad because she was assuming Ivory might be a vegetarian.

But no mention of the food was brought up.

The conversation was light and Ivory was successful in keeping her crude humor in check. At one point, Sparkling laughed at something and she placed her hand on Ivory’s. It was about to drive Ivory wild.

When Ivory told a funny story, Sparkling laughed hard. She put her hand out to steady herself and it landed on Ivory’s. To her delight, Ivory didn’t pull back but actually took her hand and held it.

Ivory was ready to release the hand she was enjoying holding if the slightest hint or resistance appeared.

It didn’t.

“So this cider is yours,” asked Ivory.

“Well, it isn’t mine per se. If you’re picking up the cheque, then it’s yours (both mares chuckled). But it’s from my company and my recipe. It’s kind of funny if you think about it. I go out to eat and pay for cider that the restaurant paid me for,” giggled Sparkling.

Ivory laughed at the irony of the situation, but truthfully, she was laughing at the joy she was feeling in the company of this mare.

They sat for several moments, just looking into the eyes of the other.

‘Don’t act like a dork and ruin this Iv’y,’ thought Ivory.

‘Don’t come on like a silly filly and ruin this Sparkly,’ thought Sparkling.

“So how can I help you Darlin’?” Ivory said at last.

“Besides the cider business, I also have a line of beauty products. We use substandard, industrial grade gemstones, pulverized, to add sparkle to many of our makeup products. These have been getting harder and harder to get from southern Equestria yet the price has been escalating. A friend mentioned your operation and I decided I had to…”

Sparkling unintentionally paused as she drew a deep breath looking at Ivory.

Check you out…”

Sparkling sighed and then blushed, Ivory smiled.

“I mean check out your operation!

Understand that I’m not saying your product is substandard. I’m just wanting to see about acquiring any of the gems and crystals that are unsellable in the gemstone industry, what some call ‘industrial grade’.”

“I think we can come to some arrangement, Miss Cider,” said Ivory.

“Sparkling, please.”

“Thank you, Sparkling, I don’t usually do this, but why don’t I give you a tour of my mine. That way you can get an idea of…

Ivory also unintentionally paused as she drew a deep breath looking at Sparkling.

What it is that I have to offer you…”

Ivory hesitated looking at this beautiful mare holding hands with herself. But then with a blush of her own.

“I mean what I can offer.”

The two realized that the little innuendos, though unintentional, were saying what each mare was thinking. But they could tell that the other didn’t mind at all.

“I’d like that Ms. Ivory.”

“Just Ivory.”

“Thank you, Ivory. I could be available tomorrow. Say about 3ish? If it isn’t inconvenient,”

“If it was, I’d change anything that may interfere. Do you need directions?”

“No, just an address will do. That way I can take a taxi.”

“A taxi?” asked Ivory, “did a taxi bring you here?”

“Yes, it’s so hard to maintain a car in the city.”

“Well I don’t live in the city so having cars isn’t a problem. I’d be happy to give you a ride home. That way I can know where to pick you up tomorrow.”

“I’d like that,” said Sparkling giving Ivory’s hand, which she was still holding, a little squeeze.

The ride home was enjoyable for the two. The sports car Ivory was driving was thrilling for Sparkling. The company in the passenger seat was just as thrilling to Ivory.

As they stopped at the apartment building, Sparkling got out and looked at Ivory.

“Thank you for the ride,” said Sparkling.

“Any time, Darlin’.”

Sparkling stood there just looking at Ivory. Ivory was sitting there looking back. Both felt as if something was missing.

“See you tomorrow afternoon,” said Sparkling.

“See you then,” said Ivory.

Both were still stuck in place. But both realized what was going on. Ivory smiled and put the car in gear, Sparkling waved and turned to go inside.

As Ivory drove off, she was watching Sparkling go inside.

“Damn!” said Ivory as the building in the mirror faded into the background.

ACT TWO: Sparkling Possibilities

Ivory drove home and then after taking care of a few things, went to bed. Often she’d smell her hand, there was the scent of some very nice apple scented perfume or lotion lingering on the hand that had been holding Sparkling’s hand.

‘I’m glad Stardust Nova didn’t see any of that,’ thought Ivory to herself.

She knew that her friend would tease her unmercifully if she knew. But Ivory decided that she didn’t care.

Ivory’s clothes were put into the laundry bag to be taken to the cleaners. Then her naked form slipped between the crisp, clean sheets.

She kept reflecting on their parting. Yes, it was something completely out of character for the rough miner. But Faustdamn it! She was so craving to have kissed that special mare goodnight. And she’d bet a month’s profits that she’d be so soft to hold.

“Come on!” she said aloud, “am I really doing this to myself?”

Ivory’s mind tried to go into business mode thinking what this opportunity could lead to. Her gems in a nationwide line of beauty products.

Ivory’s magic extinguished the lights in her bedroom. Here underground, the dark was so thick that you could almost feel it. It was one thing Ivory loved about living here. No distractions from lights or traffic outside and no sounds except the distant faint sound of water dripping somewhere in one of the tunnels.

This gave her mind the ability to concentrate on any lingering thoughts. But now, the only thing she was thinking of was that beautiful mare she’d just had dinner with. In this dark, it didn’t matter if eyes were open or closed, it was the same. Because of this, she could see Sparkling Cider vivid in her mind. Her imagination ran wild and she could see Sparkling sharing the hot spring with herself. The passion they were sharing was nothing Ivory had ever imagined.

“If I was only that lucky,” said Ivory out loud. Then she turned on her side and drifted off to sleep. Her dreams were of a very special mare.


The rest of the evening was a blur. Sparkling took a quick shower and went to bed. Unfortunately, her mind was flooded with images of a goddess like figure. It was all Sparkling could do to not touch herself as she imagined what the mare would look like in the most intimate of settings.

She had the curtains drawn back and the stars were visible to an extent.

Stars that reminded her of gems.

Gems reminded her of Ivory.

After realizing she wasn’t going to sleep anytime soon, she got out of bed and went into her office and turned on her desk light. She started to make out a list for tomorrow:

1. A standard contract

2. 4 bottles of the best hard cider and glasses.

3. Change of clothing and underwear along with a toothbrush and tooth paste.



She didn’t understand why she put the last one down. Or at least she wasn’t willing to admit it to herself at this time.

After writing all this down, Sparkling lay back down and drifted off to sleep dreaming about a tall, strong and beautiful mare carrying her off to bliss.



Prism Wing was an early riser, but this was early.

The knocking she thought she’d heard was repeated, so she wasn’t dreaming it. Throwing on a robe, Prism walked to the front door and opened it. Without being invited, Ivory came in.

“Iv’y, why don’t you come inside?” said Prism sarcastically.

“I already did,” said Ivory with a smirk.

“I can see that,” said Prism, “did you need something important or is it Harass Prism Wing Day and I missed the memo?”

“I’m sorry Prism,” said Ivory, “I wasn’t thinking. I can come back later.”

“No Iv’y, I’m up now. What can I do for you?”

“Prism, I have a mare coming over later.”

“Good for you, it’s about time. So you’ve come over to brag, is that it?”

“No, I don’t know how to handle it. She’s a big shot in the cider and beauty products biz in Manehattan. She wants to buy industrial grade gems and crystals to grind up for cosmetics. It could be a very good business deal.”

“Okay… So I fail to see the problem.”

“The problem is, she’s hot as Tartarus! I could barely keep my mind on business as we ate last night. She’d arranged a meeting to talk business but we ended up holding hands and then I drove her home. I’m going to pick her up later to show her my operations.”

“So…” said Prism.

“Prism, I’ve never felt like this just looking at a pony. I was so much wanting to kiss her goodnight!”

“Well,” snickered Prism Wing, “don’t try to show her your bedroom too quickly!”

The two friends laughed hard.



Ink Blots was over at her friend’s apartment. She was asked to come over to fix up Sparkling’s hair. Inky told Sparkling it wasn’t necessary for a business meeting, but Sparkling insisted.

“So this mare must be very important,” said Ink Blots.

“Inky,” said Sparkling giving herself a hug and a short squeal, “this mare is beyond important. So much so that I don’t care if we come to some business arrangement. But I wouldn’t want to make a fool of myself to her.”

“She must really be special for you to want to go all out like this.”

“Special doesn’t even come close, Inky. The mare is a goddess come down to earth. I wish I had her as a spokesmodel for my products. But more than that,” said Sparkling blushing brightly, “I wish I had a chance to be held in those strong arms.”

“Sparkly, I’ve never ever heard you talk about anyone like that before. As your friend, I wish you all the luck in business and even more luck with the mare herself.”

The two friends hugged tightly.



It was 2:55 pm.



Ivory pulled up to the apartment where she’d dropped Sparkling off that previous evening.

Ivory was glad that the mare wasn’t out there yet. She needed to relax and find her center. She didn’t want to come off like a school filly with a crush. Although it could be forgiven. She never had any kind of a crush as a school filly.

This really was business, in spite of how Ivory had been imagining this. The last thing she wanted to do is come on too strong and there not be anything on the other mare’s mind other than business and she was just a friendly and outgoing mare.

That’d be a huge disappointment. But Ivory knew that life doesn’t always go as we wish or hope. And she didn’t want to blow a lucrative business deal because of an overactive libido.

This was all new to Ivory. She’d never had a coltfriend or marefriend in her life… Even as a filly. She was really never interested, so she was so far out of her comfort zone.

She’d never let anyone know of her ‘inexperience’. She was sure that if Stardust Nova knew, she’d have such ammunition to use against her to make her life miserable for some time to come. As if being a virgin at her age was something shameful or comical.

Plus she’d have to go through all the trouble of hanging Stardust by her suspenders from a stalactite until she felt like letting the little smartass down. Not to mention having to put up with all her swearing and screaming…



Like the last time.



Sparkling Cider was looking out her apartment window. She saw the convertible sports car of Ivory’s. She wanted to rush right down there, but her feet were frozen in place.

‘Come on Sparkling!’ she thought, ‘what’s wrong with you? She won’t bite…



Well hopefully she might nibble if I asked nicely.’



Sparkling giggled and her jest relaxed her enough to go down to meet her date… Business contact she corrected herself.

Sparkling’s brain kept telling herself that this was business and not a date. But her heart so wanted it to be a date.



Sparkling was pleased with the look on Ivory’s face as she exited the apartment building.

Ivory reached over and opened the passenger door. Sparkling put her bag in the back seat, sat down, buckled in and closed the door. Before she could do anything, Sparkling took Ivory’s hand.

“I can’t tell you how happy I am that you’re doing this for me,” said Sparkling.

“I’m happy to do this as well,” said Ivory.

Unfortunately, Ivory had to release Sparkling’s hand so she could operate the car. As they sped off in the late afternoon, Ivory would at times glance over at the mare in the car with her.

It was hard not to just look at her, but she had to keep her eyes on the road. But it was a thrill when she saw Sparkling looking at herself and smiling.



Soon enough they were out of the city and headed to the hills where the mine was located. Sparkling was in awe.

“I take it you don’t get out of the city often, Darlin’.”

Sparkling looked at Ivory and smiled.

“No,” said Sparkling, “most of my time is spent in the city. I do get a chance once in a while to go home to the apple farm. But it still isn’t this far out. I should thank you for this alone.”

“Sparkling,” said Ivory, “don’t take this wrong, but I’d be happy to drive you to the moon if you asked it of me.”

Sparkling and Ivory both blushed realizing the underlying meaning of what was just said. A feeling she was sharing as well.



But before much else was said, they turned off the main road and up a hill to a flat expanse. The only structure was a low metal building, like a large garage. There was also a street light on a tall pole that illuminated the general area. Nothing else to give an idea that someone lived there.

“This is where I live,” said Ivory.

“Somehow, it’s not like I’d imagined,” said Sparkling puzzled.

Ivory chuckled, this was always the reaction.

“Just wait,” said Ivory smiling.

Ivory pressed a button on the dash and the garage door opened, a light came on as well. Sparkling saw the reason why the building was so large on the outside. It wasn’t Ivory’s dwelling, but a large garage with what looked like a small room in the back corner. There were several other cars parked there. Most of them high end models. Along with a couple of impressive motorcycles.

Sparkling’s business had made her financially comfortable, not quite rich. But this hinted at a level of financial success over and above her own. She was impressed.

As they parked, Ivory said:

“Wait there just a moment, Darlin’.”

Sparkling watched as Ivory got out, went around to the passenger side, reached over and took Sparkling’s bag from the back then reached out her hand to her guest.

To the delight of both, Sparkling continued to hold Ivory’s hand as she was led to the small room in a back corner, as the garage door closed.

Ivory slid the door open and it was apparent that this was an elevator. Sparkling was intrigued. They entered the lift, closed the door and Ivory pressed a button. The lights in the garage turned off as they started to descend.

The lift moved so quickly that Sparkling wasn’t prepared and grabbed Ivory’s arm. Again, neither minded.

When they stopped, the door opened and Ivory led Sparkling out into the main cavern. It was breathtaking. The overhead, which was almost lost in the gloom, sparkled with multicolor gems. There was light from the crystals themselves.

“How far down are we,” asked the petite mare.

“This part of the mine is only about one hundred feet down. There are parts that go much deeper.”

Sparkling was slightly nervous about being this deep down. But as long as she was holding Ivory’s hand or arm, she felt secure.

Ivory led them to what looked like a wall which she grabbed a small protrusion and pulled. The door or wall opened soundlessly and effortlessly. Behind the hidden door was a very nice living room. Ivory put down Sparkling’s bag by a sofa and looked at her guest.

“Do you want to see the mine now or do you need to go to the bathroom or sit down first?”

“Please,” said Sparkling, “I’d love to see the mine.”

Outside the living area was a small worktable with tools. Hardhats were hanging on the cave wall. Ivory picked up a geologist hammer and slipped into her belt. Then she put on a hardhat and handed one to Sparkling.

“Safety first, Darlin’,” said Ivory. Sparkling smiled and put on the hardhat.

A magic glow appeared around the large crystals mounted on the front of both helmets. They started to give off a bright beam of light. Sparkling was amazed at Ivory being able to use magic like that.

Ivory continued to hold Sparkling’s hand as she led them back out into the main part of the cavern.


Sparkling was shown the major points of the cavern. There were several passages that went off in many directions. Ivory described how some types gems were found in lower levels and how some of them were everywhere just for the taking, if you only knew where to look.

“How do you know where to look?” asked the petit mare.

“I guess it’s the special talent of mine. If you ever saw my cutie mark you’d see a gem surrounded by stones,” said Ivory blushing. She was actually wanting to show it to Sparkling, along with the rest of her flanks and under her tail.

“Could you show me?” asked Sparkling. Then realizing what that sounded like, with a bright blush she quickly added, “finding the gems, that is.”

Although she wouldn’t have minded the other as well.

Ivory chuckled and smiled at Sparkling.

“Watch,” said Ivory.

With that, Ivory looked at the cave wall as her horn glowed a blue aura. Ivory reached out her hand, which was glowing as well, and moved it around as she felt the stone with her eyes closed. She opened her eyes, smiled and took the hammer from her belt. Then she struck the tool against the wall just a couple times with the chisel end.

When the loosened stone fell away, there in the wall was a brilliant diamond of a respectable size. Using the chisel side again, Ivory wedged it between the wall and gem and gave a mighty pull (her bulging arm muscles almost made Sparkling swoon) until the stone came loose. Then slipping the hammer back into her belt, Ivory reached in a pocket, and pulled out a jeweler’s loop and examined the sparkling diamond.

Sparkling was in awe at how quickly Ivory had found this stone.

“I’m sorry,” said Ivory handing the gem to Sparkling, “you can’t use this one in your products.

It’s flawless…

Just like you.”

Sparkling smiled at the complement and looked at it in wonder. Feeling the weight and seeing the sparkle, she imagined what the polished stone would look like. Then she handed it back to Ivory.

“Is there a problem, Darlin’?” said Ivory with a smirk, “perhaps you want a larger one? Maybe a ruby, emerald or sapphire perhaps?”

The diamond was the size of a large goose egg.

“You can’t give me this!” said Sparkling astonished.

“Why? It’s mine to give.”

“But it’s worth a small fortune!”

“And?”

“And… And that’s just so generous!” said Sparkling throwing a hug around Ivory. Ivory returned the embrace.

‘Don’t rush it, Iv’y!’ said Ivory in her mind, she was wanting to kiss this mare so badly.

‘Don’t rush it, Sparkly!’ said Sparkling in her mind, she was wanting to kiss this mare so badly.

They continued to explore the cave system. Sparkling was enraptured at the possibilities. But she was becoming more enraptured with the mare she was holding hands with.



Finally they made it back to the living area. Ivory put away the hammer and they took off the hardhats and went in.

Ivory had a lite dinner prepared of soup and sandwiches. The two ate at the kitchen table talking about little things, such as were they went to school and who they knew.

When finished, Ivory had Sparkling have a seat in the living room as she cleared away the dishes and put them in a dishwasher.

Now they sat side by side on a sofa with a coffee table in front of them. Sparkling went over the agreement paperwork, explaining it in very good detail. Ivory was impressed with the business savvy this little mare was displaying. She’d explained all the details, the two haggled over costs until everything was agreed on. Both signed and Sparkling put one copy along with the diamond in her bag and gave Ivory a copy.

They shook hands but it didn’t feel right. Like it wasn’t enough.

Sparkling took out of her bag two glasses and an insulated package holding 4 bottles of her best cider. They toasted each other and sipped at the wonderful cider.

Sparkling noticed that Ivory looked lost in thought, there was a strange look on her face as she looked at her glass.

“What?” asked Sparkling.

“Oh, it’s nothing,” said Ivory.

“Come on,” said Sparkling with a smile, “we’re business partners now.”

“I was thinking how nice this cider is and how it would go great with a dip in my mineral hot spring.”

“Ooo!” said Sparkling, in almost a squeal, “a hot spring! How nice, I wish I’d brought a bathing suit.”

Ivory looked down and mumbled something. It was the first that Sparkling had noticed any lack of confidence on Ivory’s behalf.

“What was that?” Sparkling asked.

Ivory looked away, blushing brightly.

“I never wear one,” said Ivory quietly.

“Will you show me the spring?” asked Sparkling innocently.
Ivory smiled, stood and reached out a hand to Sparkling. Sparkling handed the cider glasses to Ivory and then Sparkling scooped up the open bottle and the bag with the other 3 bottles.

Ivory led Sparkling to a passage not far from her dwelling. One that Ivory hadn’t shown Sparkling. It didn’t go far and there was a large pool. Little wisps of steam rose lazily from the water.
On the wall, Ivory had hewn out some benches. Also there were some mats on the floor nearby where Ivory and Marble would sit or lay when they were drying off. Occasionally, Ivory would even sleep there as well.
Sparkling set down the bag and bottle by the side of the water, slipped off a sandal and dipped her dainty foot.
“The water is perfect!” said Sparkling.
“Not as perfect as you,” said Ivory before realizing she’d said what she was thinking.
It didn’t appear to bother Sparkling.
“Do you really think so?” asked the smaller mare with a smile.
“Very much so,” said Ivory looking over the mare before her.
‘The Tartarus with it,’ Sparkling thought.
“Would you mind if we were to share a dip?”
“I’d like that very much,” said Ivory.

Sparkling launched herself at Ivory. Ivory lifted the smaller mare cradling her firm round butt and kissed her deeply. It was more pleasant than she’d imagined.
The two broke the kiss. Ivory was amazed at how quickly and gracefully the clothing and underwear came off Sparkling without any wasted motion. Ivory removed her own clothing quickly but not as elegantly as Sparkling had done.
They stood there looking at the other. It wasn’t some lewd gawking, but an honest appreciation of the other.
The two embraced and kissed again. The feeling of the other’s naked body against theirs was beyond belief.

“Ivory,” said Sparkling, breaking the kiss and laying her head against Ivory’s firm breasts, “I’ve wanted this since our dinner yesterday.”
“And Darlin’,” said Ivory, “I’ve wanted you too.”
Ivory renewed the kiss but her hand was exploring the petit body of the mare in her arms. Sparkling broke the kiss and kissed down to Ivory’s breasts and even briefly sucked at the nipples which were as generous as the breasts. These were almost at Sparkling’s eye level. Ivory thought she’d climax just from this!
Never had either mare felt like this.
“Let’s not just stand here,” said Ivory almost breathlessly.
Ivory took Sparkling’s hand and led her into the water. They sat and relaxed. But they kissed deeply as their hands were all over the other mare.
As Ivory worked up the nerve, she let her hand slide down to Sparkling’s marehood, Sparkling allowed her legs to part to accommodate Ivory’s hand. Ivory’s fingers were rubbing and entering her partner.
“Ivory,” said Sparkling, “be gentle, I’ve never done this before.”
“Darlin’,” said Ivory, “neither have I.”
Sparkling eyes lit up at this confession. She turned herself and kissed Ivory deeply as her hand went to Ivory’s marehood as well.

As time wore on, they got out of the water and lay themselves on the nearby mats.

There was plenty of cider drinking, kissing and heavy petting.
Ivory turned Sparkling to her back and kissed from her lips to her toes making a point to kiss and suck on Sparkling’s small but firm and extremely desirable breasts, Ivory also marveled at how the smooth tummy led to a perfect curve to the mare’s marehood. The shape of the ‘lips’ and curve was so beautiful. So much that Ivory dared a few exploratory licks and kisses. By the way Sparkling spread her legs, it didn’t appear that Sparkling objected. Ivory continued down the mare’s legs. Then turned her over and kissed all the way back up. Even Ivory’s tongue teasing at Sparkling’s anus.
Eventually, they decided that it was getting late. Neither Ivory nor Sparkling was in a hurry to end this. But Sparkling realized what the time must be.
“Ivory, I hate to say this, but I probably need to be getting home.” Said Sparkling holding Ivory so very close.
“A lot of appointments tomorrow?” asked Ivory looking let down.
“No, it’s the weekend,” said Sparkling, realizing that there really wasn’t really a hurry.
“Then Darlin’,” said Ivory blushing, “If I’m not being too forward and you wouldn’t mind…

My bed is big enough for two.”

“Are you asking me to go to bed with you?” said Sparkling with a smile.
“Yes Darlin’,” said Ivory. “I’m sorry, I know it’s quick. But I want your beautiful body so badly. More than that, I want you. All of you.”
“I want you as well, Ivory.”
Sparkling was about to burst. It really was the reason for packing the change of clothing.
The two got up and Sparkling started to get dressed.
“Who’re you hiding from?” asked Ivory with a twinkle in her eye.
“No one,” said Sparkling with a smile.
The two walked hand in hand back to Ivory’s dwelling. Inside, Ivory showed Sparkling where the bathroom was. While Sparkling was busy, Ivory collected their clothing and Sparkling’s bag and put them in the bed room. When Sparkling came out, Ivory took her turn in the bathroom. Then the two went into the bedroom. They turned down the covers and climbed into each other’s arms.
With all the kissing and exploring they were doing in the pool, they hadn’t quite gone ‘all the way’.
Ivory’s horn glowed and the lights dimmed, Ivory was wanting to see what she was doing, as was Sparkling.
When they broke the extremely deep kiss, Ivory spoke up.
“Darlin’, if you aren’t ready, or you think it’s too fast, I’d understand.”
Sparkling’s answer was kissing Ivory’s generous breasts and then continuing down to explore Ivory’s body as Ivory had done with her.
Both examined the other’s cutie mark very closely.

The two made love almost all night.



It was early the next morning, and Ivory awoke to the sound of some quiet sobbing. Sitting up, she looked around. Sparkling wasn’t in bed with her.

Getting out of bed, Ivory went looking for Sparkling. She was found in the living room on a sofa, wrapped in a blanket.
Ivory sat beside her and took her hand. To her surprise and disappointment, Sparkling slowly pulled away as if unsure.

“I’m sorry,” said Ivory.
“Don’t be,” said Sparkling, “I’m the one who should be sorry.”
“Why? Are you regretting last night?”
“Yes,” said Sparkling, Ivory’s heart froze.

But then;

“And no…

That’s just it, I don’t know.

Ivory, I’ve never done anything like last night ever. I’m really not some slut who’s ready to jump into the sack with a beautiful mare just because she’s generous and shows me attention.”

Ivory did something that would amaze her friends. As she was sitting by Sparkling. she broke down crying hard as well.

“Sparkling, I was telling you the truth when I told you I’d never done anything like last night, before either. I really was a virgin, and I’m really happy to have lost that with you.
You’re the sweetest, smartest, most beautiful mare I’ve ever met. I’ve never wanted to be with another pony ever. I was never interested. But with you, that’s all different.
It’s almost like fate was telling me that you’re whom I’ve been saving myself for. But Darlin’, I really don’t deserve anyone as wonderful as you. And the last thing I want to do is to force myself on anyone. So if I’m really not of any interest to you, I’ll respect that.
I can keep it strictly business between us.”
Ivory jumped up and walked away with her back to Sparkling continuing her crying. But Sparkling came up behind her and turned her around.
“Ivory, I don’t deserve anyone like you. You’ve opened your heart to me, shared the treasure of your mine and the treasure of your body without reservation.”
“Sparkling,” said Ivory, taking the smaller mare’s hands in her own, “I really want you to be comfortable with me because I really do want to be with you. I want to test this relationship and see where it goes.”
“I do as well,” said Sparkling, tears in her eyes as well.
The two hugged and could feel the other tremble. They relaxed the hug, looked into the other’s eyes and kissed a simple kiss.
“Then I hate to say this, but I really do have to go home to take care of things,” said Sparkling sheepishly.
“I understand, Darlin’,” said Ivory. “Get your stuff and I’ll drive you home.”
“Okay,” said Sparkling. Then with a little smirk that Ivory didn’t miss. “But I need to get something from your bedroom first.”
“What’s that.”
Sparkling dropped the blanket and was standing there as naked as Ivory.
“I need to get a little more sex.”
Ivory just grinned as she scooped up the smaller mare that giggled. They kissed as Ivory carried Sparkling off to ecstasy.


It was a good thing it was the weekend. Both mares wore worn out from all the lovemaking. And the afterglow had lulled them to sleep in each other’s arms.
So it was actually just before noon before they were able to get out of the bed. And truthfully, neither really wanted to.
But Ivory threw together a brunch for the two and promised that afterward she’d drive her home or where ever she needed to go.
After eating, they just sat at the table and held hands while looking into each other’s eyes.
“Sparkling,” said Ivory, “I don’t believe I’ve ever met a more beautiful and graceful mare in my life.”
“Ivory, I think you are just as beautiful in an excitingly rugged kind of way.”
The two scooted their chairs closer and kissed so very deeply. As they did, they were so distracted that they hadn’t heard the elevator in the distance or hear the ‘front door’ open.

“Hey Iv’y,” said a young voice, “I was wondering if you could…

OH! HOLY COW!

They broke the kiss and Sparkling saw a young filly that looked a lot like Ivory. She had to be about the same age as her own sister, Apple Spritzer.

They saw a filly standing there in wide eyed wonder and slack jawed. They both realized that they hadn’t bothered getting dressed. It didn’t bother Ivory because she and her sister often soaked nude together in the hot spring. But she wasn’t sure what her response to her having a naked marefriend she’d seen Ivory kissing.
Sparkling squealed in surprise and took off to the bed room.

“Wh… Who?” stammered said the filly.
“I’ll tell you in a bit,” said Ivory trying to stifle a chuckle. “Excuse me sis.”

Ivory found Sparkling almost dressed in the bedroom.

“I’m sorry about that, Sparkling.”
“Who’s that?”
“That’s my little sister, Marble. She and I are close and she sometime spends time with me, even in the hot spring. I don’t think she was reacting to us being naked, she’s seen me countless times. I think it was the shock of having someone here with the hint of some relationship.”
Sparkling started to laugh.
“Honey, I have a little sister about that age as well. I don’t run around naked in front of her but we’re close. She’s a little spitfire and I do have to bail her out of sticky situations at times.”
Ivory was finishing getting dressed.
“Hum, maybe they know each other. Well I guess I might as well introduce you to her. Would it be okay if I introduced you as my marefriend?”
“I’d be hurt if you didn’t.” Said Sparkling giving Ivory a kiss.

They went out and found Marble sitting on a chair in the living room.
“Sorry about that sis,” said Marble.
“It’s okay. I want to introduce you to my marefriend, Sparkling Cider. Sparkling, this is Marble.”
Marble got up and shook Sparkling’s hand.
“Sparkling Cider?” asked Marble, “are you Spritz’s sister, ‘Sparkly’?”
“Yes I am,” said Sparkling.
Marble started laughing.
“What’s so funny?” asked Ivory.
“Spritz is such a dork!” said Marble. “I can’t believe that she’d have such a pretty sister.”

Ivory and Sparkling smiled.

ACT FOUR: Reaction

Ivory had packed a small bag. Sparkling suggested that Ivory come over and spend a day (and night) at her place.
Then after dropping Marble off at home, Ivory drove to Sparkling’s apartment. There, Sparkling and her now marefriend went in. They didn’t intend it right away, but as they were putting their bags in Sparkling’s bedroom, Sparkling playfully launched herself at Ivory. They landed on the bed and soon they found themselves making love again. The two were so giddy about this new relationship. They’d spent the day and the night together. They were just so happy to be with the other. It was more than just sex. The two were finding that they desired to just be with the other just as badly. They felt that the other completed them.


That next day on the MCM’s favorite street corner:

“Hey Marble!” said Spritz, drinking a bottle of pop, “how’s it hangin’?”
“How’s what hanging?”
“It’s just a saying,” said Spritz, “I was just askin’ wha’s’ up?”
“Well,” said Marble, trying to figure how to say it, “I met someone yesterday and it was a bit of a surprise.”
“Oh? Who?”
“Your sister,” said Marble.
“Oh yeah? where’d you run into her prissy ass?”
“She was at my sister’s place,” said Marble, and then with a snicker, “and her ass didn’t look that prissy.”
“What do ya mean by that?” asked Spritz confused.
“Well, she and my sister were eating brunch.”
“So?” taking another swig at her soda bottle.

“They were kissing and… Naked.”

Luckily, Marble wasn’t in the line of fire as Spritz spewed out her mouthful of soda pop.
“Oh my Faust!” said Spritz genuinely surprised, “the little prude finally got laid!”
“Laid?”
“You know, the horizontal mambo,” snickered Spritz demonstrating a couple pelvic thrusts.
“What?”
“Doofus,” said another voice coming up behind Marble. “they had sex.”
“Oh!” said Marble looking at Spritz embarrassed. “My sister and yours?”
“What’s wrong with that?” asked Plume, the filly that had joined the group. “Oh Tartarus, she took long enough.”
“What do you mean,” said Marble, still naïve.
“You mean you haven’t had sex by now?” asked Spritz snickering and winking at Plume where Marble couldn’t see.
“We’re only 15!” exclaimed Marble.
“So,” said Spritz, “I first got boned when I was 13.”
“And Dinky and me did the 69 when we were 14. Filly to filly counts.”
“But… But,,,” stammered Marble.
“Oh Tartarus!” said Spritz to Plume, “she’s still a virgin!”
“I am not!” said Marble, trying not to sound uncool, “I made myself cum just last night.”
Spritz and Plume looked at each other and laughed.
“Marble,” said Plume, still giggling, “spanking the monkey doesn’t count.”
“Marble,” said Spritz, “it don’t count unless a colt puts his tool in you.”
“Or you get it on with another filly,” said Plume, “that’s my preference.”

Marble looked gobsmacked. Spritz and Plume laughed hard at Marble’s reaction.
Marble quickly turned and ran off. A lot quicker than her friends expected. She didn’t want her friends to see her crying.

“Hey Marble!” called Plume, “we’re just kidding with you!”
“Come back,” called Spritz, “we’re sorry.”
Spritz and Plume looked at the other.
“That’s gonna come back and bite us in the ass, ain’t it?” asked Spritz, not understanding why this actually made her feel so bad.
“Times like this I don’t envy the two of you having sisters,” said Plume, Spritz just nodded her head.
The truth was that the two braggarts were lying to look cool, actually the two were virgins as well. They were starting to feel bad about their boasting, seeing how Marble took it.
“Faust,” said Plume, “I sure hope she doesn’t do anything stupid.”

Spritz also ran off to her sister’s place. She wanted to get help with this. It didn’t matter how mad Sparkly would get with her, she really was concerned for her friend and didn’t understand why..

“Where’re you going?” called out Plume. But Spitz kept going. “Typical!”


As Marble was running home, she still had some tears. She really didn’t want to be un-cool but she was also afraid of what could happen.
She decided to go to a gas station near her home where she’d use the restroom when she was away from her home. But she went in there to purchase something from the vending machine on the wall.


Pip was riding his bike home when he saw Marble waving at him, he rode over to her.
“Pip,” said Marble, “do you like me?”
“Yes,” he responded in his Trottingham accent. “we’ve been friends since first grade.”
“I need you to do something for me. I trust you and I know you’d keep a secret, unlike Snips or Snails or some of the other colts in our class.”
“You can trust me,” he said, “trust me for what?”
Marble blushed, she couldn’t make herself say it out loud so she whispered in Pip’s ear.
“Are you serious?” he asked.
Marble just nodded her head. She started to walk off.
“Wow,” said the colt.
“Come on before I change my mind,” said Marble.



In Sparkling’s apartment:

The two were now lounging in Sparkling’s living room on a sofa. Ivory had on her shorts and a sports bra, she was reading a book. Sparkling had gotten dressed but she was laying on the sofa with her head in Ivory’s lap reading a trade book as well. They both were drinking some very good cider.
Both were feeling so comfortable together. It was nothing like either had ever expected.
Sparkling put her book down and sat up.
“You know, Ivory,” said the smaller mare, cuddling close to Ivory, “I’ve never been this relaxed around anyone as I am with you.”
“You either, Darlin’,” said Ivory.
The two were soon into a deep kiss.

But this was disturbed by an excited voice.

“Sparkly!” said a filly’s voice. “Sparkly! Are you home?”

The couple broke the kiss as the filly entered the room.

“Oh my Faust!” said Spritz, her eyes were wide and bulging seeing Ivory’s looks and physique, forgetting for a moment why she was there.
“Is there something wrong?” asked Sparkling.
“Oh… Yes,” said Spritz.
She went into the conversation she’d had with Marble and how she and Plume were kidding with her. Then at the telling of Marble’s reaction, she started looking ashamed. Especially with the looks her sister and Marble’s sister were giving her.
“Where’d she go?” asked Ivory.
“I think she was running home,” said the filly.
“Sorry Darlin’,” said Ivory to Sparkling, “I think I need to find my lil’ sis.”
“I’ll go with you,” said Sparkling, then looking at Spritz, “and I think Miss Apple Spritzer is coming too.”

Ivory got up and walked to Sparkling’s bedroom to retrieve her clothing. The shape and movement of Ivory’s ass memorized Spritz.
“Holy cow, Sparkly! Is that Marble’s sister?” asked the little sister.
“Yes she is,” said Sparkling, “and my marefriend.”
“I never knew Marble’s sister was such an absolute hot babe!”

Ivory walked back in the room.
“What muscles!” said Spritz, “would you mind if I had a feel?”
Ivory just smiled at Sparkling, the marefriend nodded.
“Go ahead,” said Ivory, flexing a bicep.
To Sparkling’s surprise and Ivory’s amusement, Spritz reached out and caressed Ivory’s breasts, Spritz was surprised at the firmness. Ivory just snickered.
“No wonder Plume likes mares” said Spritz.
“Sis,” said Sparkling removing Spritz’s hand, “hands off, those are mine.”
“Yes they are, Darlin’,” said Ivory giving her marefriend a quick kiss. “But let’s go find Marble before it’s too late.”
“Too late for what?” asked Sparkling.
Ivory only looked at Spritz.
“Oh… You don’t think…” Said Sparkling.
“Yes I do,” said Ivory, “I love my little sis, but I’m afraid that sometimes she lets her emotions override her common sense.”
“At least she has some common sense,” said Sparkling scowling at her sister.

Outside the apartment, Spritz was walking toward a taxi stand, but she noticed that her sister and Ivory were walking to a very nice convertible sports car.
“Now I know I’m in love!” said Spritz out loud. “Plume is gonna be so jealous.”
Despite the situation, Ivory and Sparkling glanced at each other and giggled.

Spritz was lost. Here she sat in the back of the ‘baddest’ car she’d ever ridden in, with her sister’s marefriend who was the most beautiful mare she’d ever seen.
This made Sparkling so much cooler than Spritz ever thought possible. To have landed this smokin’ hot babe as a marefriend with this so very badass car.
As they drove on, Spritz saw Plume on her skateboard. Spritz waved at her friend who recognized her and almost wiped-out out because of the shock.
Spritz was considering that she had to change her mind about her sister and mares in general.

It wasn’t long before they pulled up to Ivory and Marble’s family home.
They all got out, but before entering, Ivory was suspecting something seeing a strange bicycle in the yard, so she cautioned them all to be quiet.
“That’s Pip’s bike,” said Spritz.
“Pip?” asked Ivory.
“Pipsqueak, he’s a colt in our class,” said Spritz.
“Crap!” exclaimed Ivory. Then turning to Sparkling, “please make sure I don’t hurt him…
Too badly.”


Ivory had a key to the place so she unlocked the door stealthily. Then the three snuck through the home to the back of the house where the bedrooms were located. There they saw a young colt standing naked just outside Marble’s door about to knock. His tail was flicking nervously. Ivory darted ahead very quickly, the colt had his back was to them so he didn’t see them until Ivory clamped a strong hand over his mouth and he was scooped up and carried away under one of Ivory’s arms to the from the door.
Her strength was so that the colt couldn’t hope to have pulled free. They noticed his clothing in the bathroom. Ivory nodded toward the bathroom telling Sparkling to get the clothing and follow her.
Spritz didn’t know how she didn’t laugh at pip’s scrawny butt or his unimpressive erect penis, which was quickly becoming limp.

‘Now I know Sparkly and Plume are right about mares,’ thought Spritz. ‘I wouldn’t want one of those things even near me. Much less in me.’

“Get out of here before I have a talk with your parents,” whispered Ivory, putting the colt down and opening the front door.
“My clothes,” squeaked the young colt.
Then with a frightening fire in her eyes, Ivory grabbed an apple off a nearby table and with one quick move, crushed it to apple sauce. the colt’s face went pale. Then Ivory grabbed the colt’s clothes from Sparkling, wiped the apple off her hand and tossed them out the door.
“You were never here…

This never happened…

Do you get me?” asked Ivory.

Pip nodded his head vigorously in understanding.
“Go!” commanded Ivory, then through gritted teeth. “Now!”
He took off out the door, snatching up his clothing off the lawn and trying to get dressed and pushing his bicycle he went.

The door was closed quietly. But all there were trying not to laugh.
“I don’t think Pip will be able to look me in the eye for a while,” said Spritz.
But a stern look from her sister and her sister’s marefriend silenced her.

They walked back to Marble’s room. Ivory knocked quietly.

“You can come in now, Pip,” said Marble in a timid voice. “Just keep the lights off.”

Ivory opened the door, walked in and motioned the others to stay back then she closed the door. As she came in, she saw her sister naked and on her back, knees bent and legs spread. One arm was trying to cover her small breasts and a pillow was over her face.
One could tell that this had nothing to do with any affection for the colt. Ivory was hoping that the colt was picked because her sister trusted him and not just the first one she could think of.
She was going to ‘do it’ just to ‘do it’.

“Put this on first, Pip. And if I find that you didn’t, or I hear that you told anyone about this, I’ll have my sister beat you to a bloody pulp,” said Marble holding out a condom package, her hand was shaking slightly, “and I’m not joking!”

Ivory took the condom and then reached out and stroked Marble’s inner thigh, close to her marehood.
Marble gave out a frightened whimper.


“That’s probably the smartest thing you’ve done today. But as you’ve seen many times; even if I did want my sister’s cute little tushy, I’m not able to use this.”

Marble threw the pillow off her face and sat up shocked as her sister sat on the edge of the bed.

“Iv’y?” said the sister in shock, “how?”
“Darlin, were you really going to let a colt screw you, just to be cool?” said Ivory as she covered her sister with a blanket.
“But Spritz and Plume said…”
“Come in everyone,” said Ivory.
To the shock of Marble, Spritz and her sister came in the room.
“Tell her,” said Sparkling.

Spritz related that she and Plume were just talking big and neither of them had had sex at this time either.

“I’m sorry,” said Spritz. “We tried to stop you.”
Marble started to cry,
“What if I’d went through with it? What if I had given up my virginity because of a joke!”
Marble cried harder.
Spritz was starting to cry as well. It was the sorriest Sparkling had ever seen her sister.

“Look Honey, sex isn’t just recreation, in spite of how some see it.” said Sparkling, taking a hand of Marble’s, but she was glaring at her own sister.

“Believe it or not,” said Ivory, “I was a virgin until just the other day. There’s nothing shameful about purity. Sex is most special and beautiful when you find that special someone.”
Ivory and Sparkling kissed a small but honest kiss.
“I too was a virgin.” Said Sparkling looking at her sister again. “And sex isn’t just a game for little fillies to play, I don’t think Miss Spritzer could handle having a foal, much less raising it.”
“I’m sorry,” said Spritz looking genuinely sorry, she sat by Marble and to her surprise, hugged her. “I’m sorry, don’t be mad at me. I’ll make sure that Plume and I won’t joke about such things again.”
“Thanks, Spritz,” said Marble returning the hug. There was something nice about it. Then to everyone there, “now can you all get out so I can get dressed?”
“What’s the problem?” asked Ivory, “you were going to let a colt see you naked. And we’ve been naked together in the hot spring hundreds of times.”
“You hang out naked with your sister in a hot spring?” asked Spritz, then looking at her own sister, “how come you aren’t that cool?”
“Come on,” said Sparkling, “let’s let Marble regain her dignity.”
They all went to the door to allow Marble to get dressed. As they were leaving Spritz asked her Ivory:
“Ya think it’d be okay if I were to have a soak in the hot spring sometime?”
“We’ll see. If you can keep out of trouble,” said Ivory.
“And you can keep from feeling up my marefriend!” laughed Sparkling.

ACT FIVE: Changing Relationships

View Online

It was several weeks later…

Ivory had invited her sister and her marefriend’s sister over to spend a weekend with Sparkling and herself. She figured that she should get to know her marefriend’s family better.

Ivory and Sparkling were sitting in the hot spring. They were holding hands and kissing tame kisses. They had to hold off on the ‘good stuff’ because Marble was in the pool as well. Spritz was standing by the edge. She was still dressed.
“What’s wrong sis?” asked Sparkling.
“Come on in,” said Ivory, “you wanted to come here.”
Spritz looked very embarrassed.
“You’ll all will laugh at me,” said Spritz.
“About what?” asked Ivory.
“You all have nice bodies,” said Spritz, “even Marble.”
Marble liked Spritz saying that.
“So?” said Sparkling

Spritz looked even more embarrassed, more than Sparkling or Marble had ever seen. With shaking hands she undressed, the clothing fell to the cave floor.

Sparkling saw what her sister was referring to. She was a ‘late bloomer’. She only had a hint of the breasts developing, the ‘training bra’ was almost not necessary as of yet. There was no flaring of the hips yet either. Her body was reminiscent of a colt’s body.
There were uncharacteristic tears in her eyes.
“You see?” said Spritz.

Ivory stood up and walked to Spritz. Spritz tried her best not to stare at the hard body in front of her. Ivory surprised her marefriend’s sister and lifted her in a tight hug.
“Darlin’,” said Ivory, “why are you ashamed of your beautiful body?”
“I don’t have a beautiful body,” said Spritz, looking surprised, “how can you even say that? You’re the hottest mare ever. I look like your little brother.”
“No you don’t! And beauty is more than your figure. Your sister deals in beauty products, has she ever told you that you aren’t beautiful?”
Ivory set the filly down.
Sparkling and Marble had got out of the pool and had joined their sisters.
“Never,” said Sparkling, “you have nothing to be ashamed of.”
“What’s the problem?” asked Marble.
I don’t have any tits,” mumbled Spritz.
“What?” asked the gathered.
“I don’t have any tits!” said Spritz, “some of the colts in class, like Snips, have larger tits than I do!”
“So?” said Ivory, “you think I’m with your sister because of her breasts? She hardly has any either.”
“Hey! What do you call these?” exclaimed Sparkling, cupping her breasts. But she laughed because she knew Ivory was kidding. “besides, you have enough for the two of us!”
Sparkling goosed Ivory’s breasts. Everyone laughed, even Spritz.
“Come on Darlin’,” said Ivory to Spritz and taking her hand leading her into the pool.

Once she had sat in the water, Spritz relaxed, but the others would catch her looking at the other’s breasts. But it was the last spoke of this subject, at least for now.


Later they all had returned to Ivory’s dwelling, they got dressed in pajamas and had an evening of movies and snacks. Spritz was staying close to Marble, but no one took much notice of it. Marble didn’t appear to mind that Spritz was sitting close to herself on the couch as they watched movies, even putting her arm around her friend’s shoulders once or twice.
As it got late, Ivory suggested that they turn in and get some rest. They had a full day planned for the next day.
Spritz was to share Marble’s bed, it was large enough for the two.


The lights had went out except for a nightlight, Marble didn’t like the complete blackness underground.
Spritz lay there for a while thinking. She couldn’t get the sight of the other girl’s bodies out of her mind. In spite of what the older sisters had said, she was still feeling inadequate. And she couldn’t understand why she was so enamored with the other girl’s bodies. She’d never thought that way before. But she’d never hung out naked with her sister and friends before either.
After about an hour, with the memories of the other girls bodies in her mind, especially Marble. And thinking of how she and Marble were hugging when the older sister rescued Marble from making a big mistake. She hadn’t told anyone but despite the situation, the hug felt really nice.
Spritz listened and she could hear Marble. Marble was on her back breathing slowly and softly.

‘Marble is such a cute filly,’ thought Spritz. ‘When we were getting ready to get in the spring, Marble’s tits were surprising. Not just her tits, I’ve never noticed how the shape of her body is so nice, her ass is so cute but the sight of her marehood…
I’ve never felt the way I did. I never thought I was a mare-lover. But after seeing Pip at Marble’s home and thinking about what being with a colt would be like. I don’t think I’d ever want to be with one. I laughed at his dick, but seeing Marble, Iv’y and even Sparkly’s marehood, it made me feel funny but nice down there.
I know that I’ve seen the girls in the shower after gym class. But I’ve never looked that closely.
Now I want so much to do more than see. I want to feel if her tits are as soft as they looked. I also wouldn’t mind if I got to check out her marehood.
Is this wrong of me?’

Spritz couldn’t hold back any longer.

‘I have to be very careful’ thought Spritz.

Spritz turned over slowly and draped an arm over Marble and snuggled close. She was so warm, soft and smelled really nice. Spritz just held Marble for several minutes, it felt so nice and Marble didn’t appear to react. Spritz was unsure why her own panties were starting to feel damp at her marehood.
As she worked up the nerve, Spritz moved her hand slowly up to one of Marble’s breast. It felt so soft and firm. She didn’t realize that she was starting to caress the breast.

That is until a hand caught hers.

“I’m so sorry, Marble,” said Spritz panicked (at being caught), “don’t be mad, I promise I’ll stop.”
Spritz tried to pull her hand away but she was surprised when Marble didn’t say a word but held Spritz’s hand gentle but firm. Marble, still holding Spritz’s hand, unbuttoned her top with her free hand and then moved Spritz’s hand to a now bare breast.
“Just be gentle,” whispered Marble. Then she turned to look at Spritz. The next surprise for Spritz was a kiss from Marble with plenty of tongue.
Marble’s hand went under Spritz’s top and was lightly fingering the nipple and caressing what breast that her friend did have.
They kissed even more intensely. Spritz couldn’t believe it. This was something that she’d never even thought of, with a friend she’d never expected to react to her.
But soon Marble’s hand slid down and into Spritz’s PJ bottom, then into the panties. Marble’s fingers entered Spritz. It was the most awesome thing ever. Spritz had ‘played with herself’ in the past. But it had never felt like this.

“Wait Marble,” said Spritz.
Marble looked confused as Spritz got out of bed. But she smiled as Spritz started to get undressed. Marble got out as well, walked to Spritz kissed her and then started to undress.
“It’ll be easier this way,” said Spritz with a smile, “if you wouldn’t mind.”
They embraced and kissed a bit more, the feel of their naked friend’s body against themselves was more than awesome. After breaking the kiss, they got back in bed and took up where they’d left off.

Later, and after they’d given a climax to the other (it was so thrilling to have someone else make themselves cum) it was so different and so exciting. Especially while kissing their friend, or sucking at her breasts while their hand rubbing the other girl’s marehood.

“Oh my gosh,” said Marble, now just holding Spritz close and breathing hard. “I can’t believe we did that.”
“I know,” said Spritz who was breathing hard as well and then kissed Marble a small kiss. “But I’m not sorry we did.”
“Me either,” said Marble.
They kissed a bit more but then Spritz started to snicker.
“What?” said Marble unsure.
“Plume is always talking about liking girls,” said Spritz, “but I know she hasn’t done ‘anything’ with anyone yet.”
“Too bad we can’t tell her,” said Marble.
“Not just yet,” said Spritz.
“I guess we should get to sleep,” said Marble.
But Spritz smiled.
“Not just yet,” said Spritz as she pulled closer and started to lick and suck Marble’s nipples.
“Okay, a little more,” giggled Marble as her fingers entered Spritz’s marehood while she kissed the top of Spritz’s head.



Sparkling was finishing cooking breakfast, Ivory had set the table and was getting some milk and juice for the girls and coffee for herself and her marefriend.

“The girls must have had fun,” said Ivory, “Marble never sleeps this late.”
“Neither does Spritz,” said Sparkling. “They probably talked most of the night after going to bed. But I’m glad that they got along so well. Sometimes I hear that their little group have their ‘differences’. Remember that colt scare.
You better get them up to eat before it gets cold.”

Ivory went to one of the spare bedrooms. The one Marble always used. She cracked open the door and peeked in. Her eyes quickly adjusted in the low light. She saw her sister and her marefriend’s sister snuggled together, they were smiling and it looked so cute.
Then Ivory noticed that their pajamas and underwear were in a pile on the floor.
Ivory stifled a snicker and then quietly closed the door and went to Sparkling.
Ivory put her finger to her lips to show that Sparkling needed to be quiet. Then Ivory took her by the hand and led her to the bedroom where the girls were. Then opening the door quietly, Ivory pointed in.
Sparkling looked in and smiled at the girls cuddling. That is until she too saw the pile of clothing. Ivory closed the door quietly.
They walked into the kitchen before they said anything. Neither could decide if they should be mad, embarrassed or if they should laugh.
“Our sisters,” said Sparkling, “you don’t think that they…”
“Screwed?” said Ivory.
“I wouldn’t have put it quite that way,” said Sparkling. “But I guess that’s the gist of it. Shouldn’t we go in there and break it up?”
“Why?” asked Ivory. “Besides, what’s there to break up? It looks like it’s already been done.”
“They’re only 15 for Faust sake,” said Sparkling, not following her marefriend’s line of thought. “They’re too young.”
“Too young for what, Darlin’? Apparently they’re not too young to share some affection. Besides, they’ll be 16 soon, old enough to be of consenting age for we ponies.”
“Maybe, but aren’t they too young to be getting into a relationship,” said Sparkling.
“Is it a relationship?” asked Ivory, “or is it just exploration of feelings and experimentation? Don’t all teenagers get those feeling and urges?
Hey, I think I’d rather Marble be making out and fooling around with Spritz here, rather than some unknown colt and where we wouldn’t have known about it.”
“But we will have to talk to them about it.” Said Sparkling, “aren’t we?”
“Of course, Darlin’,” said Ivory, “but we need to be gentle about it and not come on like a medieval inquisition. They’ll probably be embarrassed at first. So they need to know that there are limits and bounds at their age, even between fillies. But they also need to know that what they did wasn’t something wrong, bad or dirty.”
With that, Ivory pulled Sparkling close and shared some affection as well.


It was after breakfast and they were sitting in the living room. Ivory and Sparkling had tried their best not to show that anything was up. However, after breakfast, they did notice that their sisters were now sitting close on the sofa.

“Marble, Spritz,” said Ivory, “we need to talk about something,”
Marble and Spritz started to look worried.
“Listen,” said Sparkling, “we went to wake you two up this morning and saw that you two were snuggled close to each other …”

“And naked,” said Ivory.

The two looked embarrassed.

“Iv’y,” said Marble, “we’re sorry.”
“It was my fault, Sparkly,” said Spritz, “I was wanting to feel Marble’s breasts and I went too far.”
“No,” said Marble, “I could have said no, but it felt so nice. I was the one who kissed Spritz first.”
“Girls, girls,” said Ivory, “you aren’t in trouble. And you haven’t done anything wrong. What you felt is normal and yes, in the right circumstances, can be very beautiful.”
“But please be honest with us,” said Sparkling, “how far did you go?”

Marble and Spritz looked at each other nervous. Marble took and held Spritz’s hand. The older sisters actually smiled at this.

“We kissed and ‘felt each other up’ quite a bit,” said Marble.
“Marehood?” asked Ivory.
“Yes,” said Spritz.
“Did you do any deeper sex?” asked Ivory.
“No,” said Marble.
“If you don’t count rubbing each other off,” said Spritz.
“A couple of times,” said Marble.
Ivory and Sparkling looked at each other and suppressed a snicker.

“I suppose this means we can’t ever spend time here with you at the same time?” asked Marble looking let down.
Ivory looked at Sparkling.
“No it doesn’t mean that,” said Sparkling. “We said you didn’t do anything wrong.”
“We’d like it, however, if you’d only be discrete and not do this at home,” said Ivory, “Here you can be supervised closely and I’m sure that you’ll promise to show restraint. That means that oral sex or scissoring is off limits…

For now.

Plus I’m not sure what mom and dad’s reaction would be.”
“Or Granny Applecrest,” said Sparkling, “although the old girl is quite open minded.”
The two fillies smiled and continued to hold hands. They looked at each other but they held back.
“Oh, go ahead,” said Sparkling. Ivory snickered. “You’ve obviously have done worse.”
Marble and Spritz smiled and leaned to each other and shared a simple kiss.
“Come on girls, I bet you did better than that last night,” said Ivory, who leaned over and kissed Sparkling a long and deep kiss.
When they broke the kiss, they saw that their sisters were kissing a respectable kiss.

“I guess you two are marefriends now,” said Ivory.
“I’m not sure, Iv’y,” said Marble.
“I think we’ll have to talk about it,” said Spritz, “I guess we have to go home because of this.”
“Why,” said Sparkling, “we promised that you could spend the weekend with us.”

The younger girls jumped up and hugged their sisters then they switched and hugged the other mare.

“Now who wants to find a gem that you can take home with you?” asked Ivory.

ACT SIX: Getting Comfortable

View Online

A couple months passed and Ivory and Sparkling have grown very comfortable in their relationship. Many, but not all the time they’d spend the night with each either at the Gem Cave or Sparkling’s apartment. Because of finding out that there were bats that’d frequent the cave, Sparkling was more comfortable at her apartment, but the apartment didn’t have a hot spring. But it didn’t matter, they were so happy together.

The other change was, in spite of trying to be secretive, Marble and Spritz were spending a lot of time together. They avoided any hand holding or kissing in public or at school. But it was getting harder to keep it all under wraps.

They decided to let someone in on their secret, so they arranged to meet their friend and fellow MCM, Plume, in the park. Spritz and Marble were behind a decorative wall kissing when Plume happened upon them.
“Holy Faust!” exclaimed Plume, her wings shot out, on seeing her friends in a deep kiss with an obvious amount of tongue. And it looked like they had a hand under the other’s shirt.
“Oh, hey Plume,” said Spritz breaking the kiss but still holding Marble close. They slowly pulled their hands out from the other’s shirt.
“What’s up,” asked Marble, adjusting her bra.
“What’s up?” stammered Plume, eyes wide open. “What…

When…

How…

Oh crap, I don’t even know what to say!”

Marble and Spritz released the other and sat on the ground, Plume sat as well.

“How the Tartarus did you two end up like this and how long has it been going on?” asked Plume.
“About two months ago, our sisters had us over to Iv’y’s mine to spend the weekend with them,” said Marble,
“After our first soak in the hot spring… Naked,” said Spritz, reaching over and holding Marble’s hand, “I became fascinated by the girly bodies there with me while I felt… Lacking.
When we went to bed that night, I couldn’t help myself. I started feeling Marble's boobs. She wasn’t as asleep as I had thought. Instead of getting mad at me, she opened her pajamas and put my hand on her tit.”
“I started ‘feeling up’ Spritz’s breasts and her marehood as well,” said Marble.
“We then got naked and went back to what we were doing and more,” said Spritz.
Plume sat there silent. She didn’t know what to think, especially when Spritz and Marble kissed.
“Oh my goodness,” said Plume in unbelief, “I thought I was the only mare-lover in our group.
Tell me, was the ‘69’ as awesome as I think it’d be?”
“Plume,” said Marble, “we got no farther than rubbing the other off. Out sisters discovered what we were doing…”
“Oh my!” said Plume, “did they yell at you or tell your parents?”
“No,” said Spritz with a smile. “They said what we had done wasn’t bad or dirty. And they only asked that we take it easy on any deeper sex for now.”
“We figured that as cool as they were being,” said Marble, “we should do as they asked.”
“And with what we’ve done since,” said Spritz. “It appeared it was more than just curiosity, at least now.”
“We did decide on two things,” said Marble.
“What,” asked Plume.
“First,” said Spritz. “We’re going to make sure that everyone knows that we’re serious and we’re now officially, marefriends.”

“And second?” asked Plume.
“We’re going to start being public about it. Telling you was going to be the start, that’s why we asked to meet here. But you found out before we could tell you. But we’ll be letting everyone else know and if holding hands in school is going to be a problem for others, I say buck ’em.”
With that Spritz and Marble kissed a long kiss, when they broke it, they just looked into each other’s eyes and smiled.


Ivory and Sparkling were doing a bit of grocery shopping on Friday afternoon. They were now staying together so much, that they were starting to pool their resources. Actually, with Ivory’s wealth, she didn’t mind footing most of the bill. And Sparkling really did appreciate it. She knew that Ivory wasn’t trying to buy her love. Ivory was showing her love by making things easier on her marefriend.
Sparkling was pushing their cart, they were talking and laughing, when a stallion walked up.
“Sparkling Cider!” said the stallion, “I haven’t seen you in a while. How’s business?”
“It’s been good,” said Sparkling, “all my endeavors are working out. Thanks for asking, Mr. Wealthy.”
“That’s so good to hear.” Said Wealthy, “and who’s your friend?”
“Oh!” said Sparkling, unsure how to answer, “this is…”
“Hello,” said Ivory extending a hand and shaking the Stallion’s with a firm grip. “I’m Ivory, Sparkling’s best friend.”
“Well I wish I had friends that looked like you,” said Wealthy winking.
They all laughed and went their ways.
But for the rest of the outing, Sparkling saw a change in Ivory’s demeanor.


Later at Sparkling’s apartment, they’d just finished putting the groceries away and went in the living room with a couple bottles of cold cider.
Ivory was on the sofa looking out toward the window. Sparkling snuggled close to Ivory, Ivory put an arm around her marefriend.

“What’s wrong, Honey?” asked Sparkling.
Ivory took a pull from the bottle and looked at the very beautiful lithe mare beside herself.
“Darlin’,” said Ivory, “I’m starting to feel odd with us hiding our relationship. We’ve told our families and our sisters have known from almost the beginning.
Although my parents are still trying to get over Marble and Spritz’s relationship, especially with them coming out as a couple. But I keep vouching for them, so mom and dad have held off their judgment. Especially with the two about to turn 16 in a few weeks.
But now I’m starting to wonder when we can go the next step? Why do we have to hide it? I almost feel like we’re ashamed or doing something dirty.”
“Ivory,” said Sparkling, giving Ivory a small kiss, “I’m in no way ashamed of you or us. But I feel that there’s still something yet missing.
Believe me, I want to be with you so much. More than I’ve ever wanted to be with anyone else.”

Ivory appeared to cheer up and then got a sly smile.

“Well if you feel that way about me, why are you still dressed?” said Ivory with a smirk.
“You’re incorrigible! Are you sure you aren’t a stallion?” said Sparkling giving Ivory a small love tap, but she started pulling her blouse off over her head. Then she started to get up but Ivory pulled her back to the couch.
“Darlin’,” said Ivory, “here’s as good as anyplace as any.”
“What if Spritz and/or Marble come in.” said Sparkling as she removed her bra and was shimming out of her trousers and panties.
“Then they’ll learn the proper way to make love to a mare,” said Ivory as the last of her clothing came off and she attacked Sparkling’s breasts.

As they were snuggling in their afterglow, Sparkling had an idea.
“What say we go to the mine this weekend?” said Sparkling, “we haven’t had a soak in the hot spring for a couple of weeks.”
“That’d be nice, but remember that we promised the next time we went we’d take our sisters for the weekend again.” Said Ivory, “and they wanted to bring their friend Plume with them.
I told Marble we’d let them but it’d depend on how comfortable you’d be naked in front of their friend. But most importantly. No three way action!”
Sparkling burst out laughing.
“We better talk to our sisters and find what their plans are,” said Sparkling.


It was the next Saturday and Ivory, Sparkling, Marble and Spritz were at the pool undressing. Plume hadn’t truly believed what her friends told her was true. But here they were, the two adult sisters. Sparkly was a very sweet looking mare. Spritz was kind of flat, but there was something about her body that was very attractive. Marble was the most ‘developed’ of the group of friends but seeing Marble’s sister, she knew why. Iv’y was the hottest hard body Plume had ever seen. She was more than any mares her imagination cooked up during the times she was alone at home ‘touching herself’.

Iv’y and Sparkly were sitting a little away from the girls. Plume couldn’t see, but she could tell that their hands were all over the other. The funny thing also, Spritz and Marble were kissing and holding the other close.

When the two couples stopped and lay back to enjoy the waters, they noticed the look on Plume’s face
“Is there a problem, Darlin’,” asked Ivory to Plume.
“No problem,” said Plume, “I’m sure Spritz and Marble have told you that I’ve always been attracted to mares. But I have never thought I would be lounging naked with 4 attractive girls. It’s exciting and I never thought I’d be like this with my two close friends and their sisters.
But to realize that you all have a marefriend that you’re close to, it makes me kind of jealous.”
Marble and Spritz moved to either side of Plume and gave her a hug.
“Plume,” said Spritz, “don’t worry about it. We all stick together.”
“Just not in bed,” snickered Marble.
“No, not in bed,” laughed Spritz. “That’s why Marble and I have promised no hanky-panky tonight. We’ll even wear our pajamas,”
“Darn!” said Plume, but she laughed.
“Maybe next time,” laughed Marble.
But before they split up. They hugged again then they both groped Plume’s breasts.
“Don’t do that if you aren’t going to do anything!” laughed Plume.


The evening went without any issues. Marble and Spritz tried not to be too overly touchy-feely.
But as they slept with Spritz in the middle, and when they were sure Plume was asleep, Spritz held Marble from behind, often rubbing Marble’s breasts and kissing her neck. Marble had her hand behind her and in Spritz panties.
“Marble,” whispered Spritz.
“Yes?” answered Marble.
“I think I need to tell you something.”
“What’s that, Spritz?”
“I truly think…”
Marble rolled over and kissed Spritz.
“That you love me?” asked Marble.
“How’d you know what I was going to say?”
Marble kissed Spritz again.
“Because I love you Spritz.”
They hugged tightly and started some deep kissing with their hands inside of the other’s pajamas.

“To cool,” said Plume. She was resting on her elbows watching her friends.
“Oh crap,” said Spritz and she and Marble backed off.
“Sorry, Plume,” said Marble.
“Don’t be,” said Plume. “If you want, I’ll go sleep out on the couch.”
“No,” said Spritz, “we’ll behave ourselves.”
“Darn!” said Plume, “if I’d of kept my muzzle shut, I could have watched you two in action!”
They all laughed and decided to go to sleep. But Marble whispered in Spritz’s ear:
“I think it’s time we try something more next time. I love you Spritz.”
Spritz and Marble couldn’t wait.
“Love you two, Marble,” whispered Spritz as she gave a small kiss and then closed her eyes to go to sleep.

ACT SEVEN: A Party And A Confession

View Online

About 6 months after Ivory and Sparkling started seeing each other, they’d all but moved in with each other. There were very few days that they did not spend their after work time together, not to mention the nights. Now they couldn’t imagine anything else.

Sparkling was sleeping in the bed at her apartment. Ivory had been awake for some time. It was warm and Sparkling had kicked the covers off herself during the night and Ivory was admiring the beautiful body in bed with herself.

‘How have I become so lucky?’ Ivory thought to herself.

Ivory’s was propped up on her side on one elbow looking at her beautiful marefriend. Her hand was lightly stroking the silky coat of this beautiful mare’s tummy. But before she realized, a hand reached out and took Ivory’s hand and directed it to Sparkling’s breast.

Turning her head and opening her eyes, Sparkling smiled.

“Just can’t get enough… Eh?” asked Ivory.

Sparkling reached out and pulled Ivory to herself and kissed deeply.

“Honey,” said Sparkling, “I’ll never get enough of you.”

“Same here, Darlin’,” answered Ivory, kissing Sparkling again.

“And as much as I’d love to make you squeal this morning…” said Sparkling.

“I don’t squeal!” protested Ivory.

“You squeal like a little filly!” snickered Sparkling.

“I’ll make you squeal,” said Ivory grabbing up her lover and kissing her deeply.

They broke the kiss and laughed.

“What I was trying to say before you shoved your tongue down my throat, is that we have that cocktail party tonight. And I have a lot to get ready for it. There’ll be a lot of cider and restaurant bigwigs. Not to mention the Manehattan social elite,” said Sparkling,

“Are you sure you want me to go with you,” asked Ivory, “we haven’t decided to come out as a couple yet. Because of business and not looking like conflict of interest with the makeup/gem contract.”

“I know, honey,” said Sparkling hugging her marefriend tightly. “I’m not ashamed of our relationship or of you. I promise that we can start to be more public with this. But after this party.”

“I want that as well,” said Ivory giving a small but honest kiss to her marefriend as she got out of the bed. “You going to join me in the shower?”

“You know it,” said the smaller mare sliding off the bed and walked with Ivory to the bathroom.


Later, after they got dressed and eating breakfast, Sparkling walked Ivory to the door. There they kissed a respectable goodbye kiss.

“I’ll be by at 5,” said Ivory, “I think I’ll bring the big motorcycle.”

“Then I’ll take a taxi!” said Sparkling; acting indignant but knowing that Ivory was kidding her. “And, you can sleep by yourself for a couple months.”
"Calm down,” laughed Ivory, “I’ll bring the big sedan. That’s if you promise you won’t drool on the leather seats like last time.”

“I didn’t drool because of the car!” said Sparkling as she paused and blushed, “you weren’t wearing a bra and you’d unbuttoned your shirt at the traffic light and were driving almost topless! And I drooled on your breasts, not the seats.”

The two laughed and kissed again.

“Now get out of here! I have a lot to do! And make sure you dress formally,” said Sparkling.
“My mining jumpsuit isn’t formal?” asked Ivory as she turned to leave. “I’ll wear a bowtie.”
Sparkling slapped Ivory’s ass as she left.
“Later, Ms. Frisky,” said Ivory with a swish of her tail as the door closed.


The large black sedan pulled up the venue for the cocktail party. Ivory got out, went around to the passenger side and took Sparkling’s hand and helped her out. Then she gave the keys to the valet.
Out of habit, Ivory reached for Sparkling’s hand, but she remembered she was there as Sparkling’s guest and not her date.

They walked through the doors into the large banquet room. Looking around, Sparkling was impressed with who was there. She was a little afraid that Ivory would be intimidated. But she showed her usual bravado.

“High end event, stuffy crowd. If anyone asks, you’re my escort,” said Sparkling.
“Tis not wise to have an escort that outclasses you, Darlin’.”
“Would you rather be my cousin?”
“Escort it is,” answered Ivory.

The two chuckled softly.
“By the way, Darlin’.” said Ivory, “did I tell you how beautiful you look tonight?”
“Yes you did,” said Sparkling with a smile. “But I’ll listen again if it will make you feel better.”
“Oh you!” said Ivory. Then in a low voice, “if we weren’t here, I’d kiss you for that.”
“And I’d let you. But I have to say that suit is quite dashing,” said Sparkling.
“Thank you,” said Ivory, “I had to look my best so I didn’t embarrass you.”
“I appreciate the thought. But for now, I’m expected to mingle. Don’t worry, I won’t be far. Try to have some fun.”
The two smiled at each other, the closest they could come to a kiss. Then Sparkling wandered off to mingle among business contacts. Ivory retrieved a drink and a couple hors d'oeuvres and went to a quiet corner.


Ivory was an experienced business mare, but she didn’t live in her mine just to save on rent. And she wouldn’t tell Sparkling that crowds made her nervous.

It was a couple hours later. Ivory had successfully avoided being surrounded by unknown ponies. She’d sit at some table snacking on what was offered. There was plenty of hard cider so that took the edge off of her nerves. But she’d make sure that Sparkling was always in sight.

As Ivory watched her marefriend, her mind wandered to the image of her mine and she and Sparkling lounging in the hot spring.

‘The pool isn’t as hot as you, Sparkling,’ thought Ivory with a smile thinking of the lithe body of her lover.

Ivory’s thought were often interrupted several times some stallions and even a couple mares who had stopped by and struck up a conversation. Mostly business, but when they found out that she was in the gem industry and an escort of one of the attendees, they’d excuse themselves and go off to network.
Although a couple stallions and one of the mares were interested in something ‘else’.

One obnoxious stallion, which obviously had imbibed too much hard cider, was being overly insistent. He was one of those of the mindset that all mares were looking for anything they could get from any stallion due to the 10:1 ratio of mare to stallion.

Ivory was doing well with keeping her ire in check. That is until he grabbed her hand and insisted that she come with him. Ivory seized the stallion’s hand in an iron grip.
Then Ivory stood up and looked down at the stallion who was perhaps only 1 or 2 inches taller than Sparkling.
His eyes went wide but the look changed to one of pain as Ivory was slowly crushing his hand.
“When a mare says no,” said Ivory softly, trying not to make a scene, “that bloody well means no, understand? Don’t make me say it again!”
The stallion nodded his head and then Ivory let go.
Ivory decided to check out the back of the room where some art was being displayed.

About an hour later, as Ivory was looking at some artwork on the walls, she overheard a couple stallions having a conversation.

“You see that mare in the red dress?” said the first in a familiar voice.
“The one who came in with that really tall mare? How could anyone miss either one?” said the second.
“She’s a friend of my wife. I bet you 100 bits that I’ll have her on her back before the night is over,” chuckled the first.
“What about the pony she’s with?”
“They don’t appear to be that close, she’s probably an escort,” said the first, “otherwise why wander off once they were here? She actually tried to get me to out back with her, but I let her know that I’m not into pushy mares.”

‘What the buck!’ thought Ivory.

“If she knows your wife, I’ll bet she wouldn’t be interested,” said the second.
“Who said I’d ask?” said the first. “All bitches want it, if you know what I mean. If you don’t ask, they can’t say no.”

Ivory was trying not to be indignant. Her first impulse was to go to the two and have a conversation with the first one. Her conversation would have his undivided attention due to her hand around the pony’s throat and holding him a foot above the ground. Especially hearing Sparkling being referred to as a ‘bitch’.

Ivory turned to look, it confirmed that it was the stallion who’d tried to come on to herself earlier. He’d been standing near but was now walking (unsteadily) in the direction of Sparkling. She knew she had to play it cool for Sparkling’s sake. But she wasn’t going to let the stallion, who’d probably drank too much, harass her marefriend. Especially after earlier.

“I should have guessed,” said Ivory quietly to herself. “Time to teach this ass a lesson…

Ivory style.”


“Yes,” said Sparkling, to a cider distributor, “the product is doing well this year. It was a very good crop of apples.”

Before the cider rep could say anything, a stallion walked up and grabbed Sparkling by the wrist.

“Excuse her,” said the stallion, pulling at Sparkling. “Come on honey, it’s time we get going.”
“Pardon me?” answered Sparkling.
“I know you like parties, but we have to get back to the hotel.”
Sparkling was about to fight back when she saw Ivory by the door. Ivory nodded her head and then she went out the door.
“Your right… Dear,” said Sparkling smiling and sounding like she was giving into the stallion.
He smiled at this.

They walked out the door and into the car park only to be intercepted by Ivory.

“There you are, you little tramp!” said Ivory acting livid and loud. “I bloody well knew you’d be whoring around, again!”
“Oh no!” said Sparkling, in mock terror, “my wife has caught us!”
“Your wife?”
“I warned you about this, you unfaithful little bitch!” said Ivory.

Neither mare knew how they kept from laughing.

“Oh Faust! Please don’t beat me again!” said Sparkling cowering, playing it for all it was worth.
“You wouldn’t dare strike her!” defended the stallion. Despite trying to be brave, the height and build of Ivory was greatly terrifying him.
“You’re right,” said Ivory. The stallion appeared to relax and smile.
“But you were warned!” continued Ivory looking at the stallion.
“You only warned about yourself.”
“You’re right again.” Said Ivory. “I didn’t say anything about anyone else.”
The stallion relaxed again.
“But let me let you in on a little secret,” said Ivory, “all bitches DON’T want it. Especially from a poor excuse of a stallion like yourself.”
“And I’m going to let your wife in on this secret as well,” said Sparkling.
“Can I go now?” He didn’t think things could get much worse.

He was wrong.

“Most certainly,” said Ivory, “goodbye!”

Ivory drew back and released an uppercut that sent the stallion into the land of nod.

“Little tramp?

Unfaithful little bitch?

Whoring around?

What do you take me for?” Said Sparkling looking serious and hurt. But she broke out laughing. “I was even afraid. Remind me never to piss you off!”
“Darlin’,” said Ivory, “I could never hurt you. I’d rather die first.”

The two kissed a quick kiss then Ivory recounted what the low life tried to pull with herself and then the conversation she’d overheard. Including the part that he wasn’t going to ask. And the bet he offered with his friend.

“Thanks for watching out for me Sweetie,” said Sparkling, giving Ivory another quick kiss. “So what do we do with him?”

Ivory just smiled as she hailed a cab.

Taking the stallion’s wallet, Ivory removed his cash and gave the wad to the cabbie, minus 100 bits.
Then after they explained why to the cabbie:

“Take Casanova here as far as this will take him,” said Ivory. “Keep a good tip for yourself.”
“And if he wakes up and argues, then tell him you’re instructed to take him to the police station instead, and be turned over for attempted rape,” said Sparkling.

The cabbie chuckled and she drove off.

“How do we know that there won’t be trouble because of this?” asked Ivory, only now realizing that there could be a legal issue.
“There won’t be,” said Sparkling smugly, “I really do know his wife.”

The two laughed.

“Well, we better get back in there, Darlin’,” said Ivory.
“Wait, come here.” Said Sparkling, who kissed Ivory deeply. “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome Darlin’. But like I said, I’d do anything to watch out for you.”
“Forgive me for asking,” said Sparkling, “but why?”
“Don’t you know?”
Sparkling shook her head (although she really knew the answer). Ivory looked nervous.
“It’s because…

Because…

Oh the Tartarus with it!

Sparkling, I love you!”

“Well that took long enough!” laughed Sparkling. She saw Ivory a little let down by her reaction. “Ivory stop! I love you so much! Let’s go back in.”
They hugged and kissed deeply.
“What if someone sees us kissing?” asked Ivory.
“Big deal!” said Sparkling; “we’re not just marefriends anymore. We’re a couple, we’re partners. This was the thing I was waiting on. But I just didn’t want to force it from you. There’s no need to hide it now.”

They hugged again.

“I love you Sparkling.”
“I love you Ivory.”
“Thank Faust!” said Ivory, “I don’t have to carry this around any longer.”
“What, Honey?”
“This, Darlin’,” said Ivory.

Ivory reached into a pocket and drew out a gold chain. Suspended from it was a pendant with a large ruby cut in the shape of an apple. The gold stem had two emeralds in the shape of leaves.
Sparkling gasped.

“This is my pledge to you, my love. My pledge to be loyal, faithful and most of all, loving to the most important mare in the world. Not quite a proposal, but perhaps the first step. If it’d be okay with you.”

Tears were flowing from Sparkling’s eyes.

“Yes, Ivory,” said Sparkling, “oh Faust yes!”

Ivory put it around Sparkling’s neck and then kissed her a very deep and loving kiss. Then they went back to the party, hand in hand.

Once inside, they walked up to the friend of the pony they’d just put in the taxi.

“Here,” said Ivory, “your friend owed you this.”
Ivory handed the 100 bits to the stallion. He looked lost.
“I’m afraid it’ll be my partner here that will have me on my back tonight,” said Sparkling. “Or maybe I’ll have her on hers.”

Then they kissed and they enjoyed the rest of the party together, often holding hands. Sparkling was happy to introduce Ivory as her partner and there appeared no ‘push back’ to this.
