- >Your watch alarm beeping wakes you up
- >...Yep, Fluttershy is still on your chest
- >Still sound asleep
- >You look at the window
- >It's still dark out
- >Good
- >You set your watch to the right time, at least
- >Time to get up
- Fluttershy
- >She shifts a bit, but otherwise doesn't react
- Fluttershy, time to get up
- >her eyes twitch a bit, then she opens them
- >"Oh.... Good morning...."
- >Her blush returns
- >You pull the blanket off
- >"Awww, don't you want to finish?"
- What
- >She stretches on top of your chest
- >"After what you did with my wings last night..."
- >She closes her eyes and shudders involuntarily
- >"Those hands of yours are... quite something"
- >The true meaning of what you did last night hits you with all the force of a freight train
- >Holy shit
- >If pegawings are like that...
- >You just wanted to get some sleep
- >eeeuuugggghhhh
- >You need to go wash your hands
- I'm getting up now
- >"But... But I want to continue!"
- >Damn
- >Fluttershy actually insisting on something?
- >Estrus must be a powerful thing indeed
- >But your position is adamant and your jimmies are flying in the wind
- HELL NO
- >"Oh... Okay..."
- >And just like that, her assertiveness disappears
- >She gets up off your chest
- >You grab your glasses and knife and go to the bathroom
- >You wash your hands, relieve yourself, and then shave with your knife
- >Then you wash your hands again
- >Finally, you take cold water and rub your face
- >After you finish in the bathroom, you head to the kitchen
- >Fluttershy has out two bowls, a jug of milk and a box of cereal
- >"Help yourself" she says as she heads into the bathroom after you
- >You sit down and pour yourself a bowl of "Gorilla Munch"
- >It tastes surprisingly fibrous
- >Which is good, you need something that sticks around if you're going to be driving all day
- >You consume a bowl, then grab a banana off the counter
- >You're finishing off the banana as Fluttershy trots out of the bathroom, her mane still damp
- Meet you at Twilight's?
- >"Oh... Sure, I guess..."
- >You start putting your gear on as she eats
- >Finally clad, you duck out the front door
- >It's snowing lightly
- >Your truck is right where you parked it last night
- >You open the door and jump in
- >Then you start up the truck and drive off towards town
- >It's still dark out
- >So hopefully the mares that saw you yesterday won't see you now
- >You pull up in front of Twilight's
- >A small mountain of gear rests just outside her door, a glowing lantern on top
- >Right next to Twilight herself
- >She looks tired
- >But that doesn't stop her from blushing at the sight of you
- >Must be Estrus
- >shit
- >You almost got yourself to forget about that on your way over here
- >You get out of your truck without a word
- >You raise the hatch on the topper and drop the tailgate
- >Then you start cramming gear in the back
- >Twilight gets the idea and her horn lights up
- >She begins organizing the stuff you've already loaded
- >The two of you silently load all the gear into the truckbed
- >It's full up to the edge of the bed, excepting an open space at the tailgate
- >You hear an "Ahem" behind you
- >Both you and Twilight turn around
- >Rarity, AppleJack, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie sit in a line watching you by the lamplight
- >Not you and Twilight
- >You
- >Each has a small bag of personal effects
- >And each sports a blush, just like Twilight
- >Rarity has an oblong white bag sitting in front of her, on top of which your snow pants rest
- >So she actually managed it, great
- >Rainbow Dash flutters down into view and sits down next to Fluttershy
- >"I don't see why we have to get up at the flankcrack of daw-"
- >AppleJack shushes her
- I trust I have your attention?
- >You get a simultaneous "Yes" from each of them
- Good. You all
- >You gesture to them with your arm
- Get to ride in the back
- >Each of them erupts into complaining, cajoling, or questioning
- >"But I wanna-"
- >"Oh come on!"
- >"Ah think-"
- >This won't fucking work
- >You don't need ANYONE hitting on you while you drive, much less p0nies
- ENOUGH
- >This brings them back under control
- Driving this truck requires all of my concentration. I cannot have... distractions.
- Now get in
- >You motion to the tailgate
- >Fluttershy, Rarity, AppleJack and Pinkie Pie get in the truck
- >Rainbow Dash, however, approaches you as you sling your snowpants over your shoulder
- >As she gets closer she blushes more and more
- >And her wings...
- >Stick out?
- >Like Fluttershy's did last night
- >Great
- >"Hey Anonymous, what say you and me g-"
- NO
- >She looks crestfallen
- >"Oh"
- >You pick up the tent and start walking over to the tailgate
- Was there anything else?
- >She shakes her head a bit
- >"Oh yeah. I don't wanna ride, I'm gonna fly when it's light enough to see"
- >This is good
- >One less p0ny you have to deal with
- Alright, but keep an eye on the truck. If the visibility goes down too far or you get tired, just tap on the window
- >"I can do that"
- Good
- >Rainbow flies up and settles on top of the truck
- >You put the tent in the open space in the back
- >Twilight goes to jump in, but you hold out your hand and stop her
- >You slam the tailgate shut and close the topper
- Would you mind riding up front with me?
- >"Would I ever!"
- Well, alright then. I'll need you to read the map, if that's doable
- >"Of course Anonymous, anything for you..."
- Cut that shit out. You get to ride in the cab because you've demonstrated the ability to control yourself.
- >You crouch down to her eye level
- >The closer you get, the deeper she blushes
- Please.... please Twilight, don't disappoint me
- >"I'll do my best..."
- And that's all I ask. Now let's go
- >You walk up to the cab and open the door, letting Twilight get in first
- >She jumps in, taking her own small bag with her
- >Then you get in yourself and close the door
- >You better get going
- >The sun is coming up
- >You turn on the truck, and flick on the headlights
- >Then you look over at Twilight
- >She has a large scroll open in front of her, obscuring her face from view
- Which way?
- >"That way"
- >A hoof points out from behind the scroll
- >You peer into your rearview mirror
- >There's a yellow face peering back at you
- >You crank your head around and look out your rear windshield
- >Four pairs of eyes stare back at you
- Oh come on...
- >You don't like being stared at
- >So you take your snowpants off your shoulder
- >And put them up against the rear windshield
- >Turning your head back to the front, you pull through to the next street instead
- >Then you head out of town
- >It's been about fifteen minutes
- >All of which Twilight has spent behind the map
- >You are starting to get bored...
- Say Twilight
- >"Yes?"
- There aren't any radio stations around here, are there?
- >"I think there's a few"
- Well let's have a look
- >You reach down and punch the power button on the radio
- >Static graces your ears
- >Twilight jumps a bit, then looks over at you
- Oh, sorry. The speakers are built into the cab
- >You fiddle with the knobs for a bit
- >Then you catch a signal
- >It sounds like the stuff Vinyl played at your welcoming party
- >In fact, this IS the stuff she played
- >Rather, the stuff you gave her
- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2GSyQBdeEQ
- >She must run a radio station
- >Good that she's getting some use out of that song
- >The radio knob glows purple and turns on its own
- >Guess Twilight doesn't care for it
- >It turns through the static until it finds another station
- >This one plays classical music
- >http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIg8Vs-MVZA
- >Twilight visibly relaxes
- >This must be more her speed
- >And it's been a while since you've heard GOOD classical, like this
- >So you leave the radio station
- >You glance over at Twilight
- >She's staring at you
- >She notices your glance and blushes deeper
- >Then draws a book from her saddlebag and retreats behind it
- >You've been driving for about three hours now
- >And you're approaching a crossroads
- >You pull up to the waysign and stop
- Which way now?
- >"I'm looking" says Twilight from behind her map
- >You sit for a minute
- >Welp
- >Now's as good a time as any to check on the others
- >You pull your snowpants down off the rear windshield and open the sliding window
- How's it going back there?
- >A pink head fills your vision
- GAH!
- >Pinkie Pie has stuck her head through the window
- >"Anonymoose, I'm booooored!"
- Well shoot, uhhhh....
- >You peer around your cab
- >Cards?
- >Cards
- >You grab the card deck off your center console
- Here, play rummy or something
- >"Okie dokie lokie!"
- >She accepts the offering of cards and pulls back into the truckbed
- >You peer through the opening
- How 'bout everyone else?
- >"Oh, we're just peachy, darling..."
- >NOPE
- >You close the window and put your snowpants back up
- >Twilight finally emerges from behind her map
- >"It's that way"
- >You're glad for the distraction driving provides
- >You've gotten another two hours down the road
- >Twilight hasn't said much aside from the occasional "Go left" or "go right"
- >She's been behind her book the entire time
- >You're starting to get tired of all this classical
- >So you reach down and turn the volume down a bit as a compromise
- >Then you turn the knob back to Vinyl's station
- >"...And now, for an old favorite of mine. This one takes me way back...."
- >http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6CbK9NZQ0w&feature=related
- >When the song finishes, you lean back in your seat a bit
- >You didn't know she made music beyond wubs
- >And you respect her all the more for it
- >"Anonymous..."
- What is it?
- >"Anonymous, I have to know..."
- >Uh oh
- >You glance over at Twilight
- >She's staring at you with the deepest blush you've seen on her yet
- >"For my... My research, you see... And the best way for it..."
- >She starts moving across the seat
- >"Is to experience, firsthand"
- Twilight, what are you-
- >She crosses the distance in a final lunge and ends up on your chest
- >Then she lowers her head closer...
- nononononONONONO-MMMMPHH
- >You are being kissed
- >By a p0ny
- >You can feel your face heating up
- >You're not sure what scares you more
- >That she's finally snapped and is hitting on you
- >Or that it's turning you on
- >You jump on the brakes and bring the truck to a stop
- >This does an excellent job of breaking the kiss for you
- >Twilight looks at you with wide, wide eyes
- >"Anonymous.... I think I..."
- >She looks down at your chest
- >"Love you"
- That's estrus talking
- >"NO!"
- >Now her horn's glowing again
- >And that same glow is down on your pants...
- >"I-I s-swea-"
- >NOPE
- >NOT HAPPENING
- >You reach up and grab her horn
- >At your touch, the magic implodes and she releases a sultry moan
- >Her entire body tenses
- >Then she practically melts on top of you
- >The horn is incredibly warm
- >And... pulses in your hand
- >Shit shit shit shit
- >You're gonna need all the soap in the world after this
- >Keeping a firm grip on the horn, you stare into her eyes
- Do I have your attention?
- >"nnnnnn"
- >You run your thumb across the tip, causing her to shudder
- >"Yyyyeeessss..."
- Good
- >You lift the blushing p0ny off you and set her on the seat next to you
- >When you release her horn, she exhales and looks down at the seat
- Are you done now?
- >"I'm... I'm sorry...."
- >"But.."
- >"But I'm just so curious! And I-"
- Twilight, I'll be glad to answer any and all of your questions. But that is as far as I go
- >"Right. Right, I-I'll get my notebook out now..."
- >Another two hours down the road, and you haven't had any more trouble with Twilight
- >She's been asking you questions non stop
- >So you answer them to the best of your knowledge
- >It's about lunch time now
- >And you're starting to get hungry
- >You need to get out to stretch your legs and drain the weasel
- >You're sure your passengers feel the same
- >You wait until Twilight is between questions
- Hey Twilight, how about we stop for some lunch?
- >Aside from the ever present blush, she seems to have recovered from her earlier... episode
- >"Yes, let's"
- Great
- >You bring the truck to a gentle halt and shut it off
- >You yank your snowpants down out of the rear windshield and put them on
- >Can't be too careful
- >Then you get out, and let Twilight out after you
- >You walk back to the tailgate
- >This will be interesting
- >You open the hatch on the topper
- >A pink mass flies out of the truck bed and directly into your chest
- >It catches you off balance and you fall over backwards
- >Good thing there's all this snow to cushion your fall
- >Pinkie Pie sits on your chest
- >Instead of just grinding against your face she makes smoochy fish lips at you
- Bleagh
- >You push her off you, which elicits a "Hey!"
- >Then you stand up
- >The rest of the p0nies have, by now, piled out of the truck
- >Rainbow Dash hovers in front of the lot of them
- >You walk over and open the tailgate
- Alright ladies, it's lunchtime
- >"YAAAY!"
- >Several boxes float out the back of the pickup
- >They open, revealing a plethora of fruits, vegetables, and grain products
- >One even has bottles of mineral water
- >The p0nies are too busy with food to bother you
- >Good
- You got this Twilight?
- >"Yeah, I got it"
- Good
- >You turn around and trudge towards a clump of woods a ways off the road
- >You have to piss something fierce
- >But you don't want or need those horny mares seeing your junk and getting ideas
- >So off to the forest you go, plowing through the snow
- >After you're what you judge a safe distance in, you unzip your snow pants and pants
- >Ahhhhh, sweet relief
- >Closing your outer garments, you turn around and trek back towards the truck
- >Back at the truck, your charges are nearly done with their lunch
- >The p0nies watch as you approach
- Hi girls!
- >"Oh, hello Anonymous..."
- >You blunder right past them and grab a lettuce and tomato sandwich, an apple, and a bottle of water
- >Then you sit down to lunch of your own
- >The rest of them just watch you
- >You're half way through the sandwich when a yellow and pink blur flies into you
- >It doesn't quite manage to knock you over, though
- >It's Fluttershy
- >Oh boy
- >Here we go
- >She looks PISSED
- >"YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE ME!"
- >That's one hell of a stare
- >First this morning
- >Then Twilight
- >Now Fluttershy again
- >No
- >Fuck this
- >This is fucking stupid
- >You pry her off your torso and attempt to back away
- >She darts at you once more, impacting your chest
- >Big mistake
- >This time you keep hold of her rear hooves
- >Then, you begin to spin her
- >Once
- >Twice
- >Thee times she orbits, faster and faster
- >When you release her, she flies off into the snowbank
- >Now all that can be seen is a pink tail and yellow legs
- >You turn back to the rest of your friends, panting
- WHO ELSE WANTS A GO
- >"Yer mine, sugarcube"
- >AppleJack's up next
- >She twirls a lasso at you
- >How the fuck does she do that
- >Where did she get the rope in the first place
- >Your musings are cut short by the lasso closing around your arms
- >Uh uh
- >You yank the loop up over your head
- >then, before she can drop the rope you seize the it and give a mighty heave
- >AppleJack flies past you and joins Fluttershy in the snowbank
- >you round on the remaining four p0nies
- >Rarity and Rainbow Dash are staring daggers at each other
- >"HE'S MINE!"
- >"NO, HE SHALL BE MINE!"
- >Rainbow lifts off and flies into Rarity at full speed, sending her rolling
- >They tumble across the ground in a vicious bundle of flying hooves
- >This...
- >Isn't what you were expecting
- >Twilight's shocked
- >Both you and Pinkie take off for the ball of violence
- >Pinkie arrives there first
- >"STOP IT! STOP IT!"
- >From seemingly nowhere, she pulls a massive blue blackpowder cannon with pink flower wheels
- >She brings it to bear on the pair as your walk turns into a frantic sprint
- PINKIE WHAT ARE Y-
- >her hoof impacts the large red button on the side
- >The cannon erupts...
- >The pair of squabbling p0nies are sent flying by a veritable beam of glitter and streamers
- >Of course
- >of fucking course
- >You charge straight past Pinkie
- >Rainbow Dash and Rarity, now clad in conical party hats and covered in streamers and assorted party favors, resume their fight
- >You arrive and seize two handfuls of mane, pulling them apart
- >They stare daggers at each other for a moment, before looking at you
- >Rarity has a nice black eye coming on
- >"Oh Anonymous, I simply knew you would come! Once we've dealt with this uncouth ruffian, we ca-"
- >"You idiot, he obviously came for me!"
- >You sigh
- Quit your fighting. I'm not bedding with either of you
- >"Oh, we'll see about that, darling..."
- Believe what you want. Now go get in the truck
- >You release Rarity, who immediately casts a spell that removes her colorful coating
- >Then she daintily turns her head and trots over to the truck
- >You turn to Rainbow
- Will you be flying again?
- >"Yes..."
- Alright
- >You release her as well
- >She takes off into the sky in a blinding rainbow steak, leaving a Dash-shaped cloud of decorations behind
- >You turn around and look at the blushing pink mare
- >The cannon has disappeared
- Pinkie, what was that?
- >"That was my party cannon!"
- And how did you...
- >You throw your hands in the air
- >And refuse to care
- You know what?
- >"Nope!"
- Never mind. I don't care any more. Load up
- >"Okie dokie loki!"
- >AppleJack's free of the snow bank by now
- >You grab her rope and coil it before she can make a repeat attempt
- >"If yer still good ta go, le-"
- Get in the truck
- >"But ah-"
- NOW
- >AppleJack trots over to the truck as you approach Fluttershy
- >She's still stuck in the snowbank
- >So you take hold of her hind hooves and pull her out
- >It's more difficult than you imagined it would be because her wings are fully extended
- >...nasty
- >You don't waste time telling her what to do
- >Instead, you bodily pick her up and put her inside the truckbed
- >Then, on a whim, you grab your axe out of the truckbed
- >The rest of the p0nies are inside by now, so you close it
- Alright Twilight, let's go
- >You lead her to the front of the truck and let her in
- >Then you get in yourself and start driving
- >You've been driving for another three hours now
- >And this is about the time you want to stop and set up camp
- >What you need is an excuse to get away from the p0nies for just a bit
- >To catch a breather and, more importantly, to let them get control of themselves again
- Hey Twilight, do you think you could get the hatch and tailgate open yourself?
- >"I could..."
- Great, because We're going to be stopping for the night soon, and I need to go gather firewood
- I need you to open the truckbed and let them out. Rarity can set up the tent, since she knows how
- I don't know how long I'll be out gathering wood, but I should be back before dark
- >"Well, alright then. Sounds like a plan"
- Great
- >At the next forest clearing, you stop the truck and shut it off
- >You open the rear window and quickly reach through
- >Hopefully you can do this without them noticing
- >Your arm finds a sandwich bag first
- >Then a bottle of water
- >you get out with your spoils, letting Twilight out behind you
- >You make sure you're far into the woods by the time she gets the rear hatch open
- >After a quick dinner of sandwich and water, you start looking for firewood
- >The trees in this particular stretch of forest are densely packed, with dead branches all up and down their trunks
- >Perfect
- >You set to work stripping the trunks of their dead, dry branches with your axe
- >All too soon, you have an armload of firewood
- >Still you wait, chopping more wood off the trees for collection later
- >When you judge that you have enough wood for the night, you pick up your previous armload and slowly trek back to the campsite
- >By now, the sunlight is fading
- >Better get back quick; the temperature is going to drop quite rapidly
- >A white tent with a metal stovepipe sticking out the top greets your eyes
- >The damn thing is tall enough for you to stand up in!
- >It seems Twilight wasn't bluffing about Rarity's skill as a seamstress
- >As you approach, you can hear Fluttershy talking
- >"And his hands... Oh, you wouldn't believe the feeling..."
- >You shudder
- >You know exactly what she's talking about
- >But there's no turning around now
- >So, you back through the tent flap and set the wood down
- >The talking instantly ceases when you come into sight
- >You set the wood down in a corner
- >Then head right back out the tent flap
- >"Wait, where are you going?"
- I have to bring more firewood in; I'll be back
- >You head off to the branches before they can question you further
- >Three trips later, and you have all the firewood collected
- >The mares all stare at you as you pull a sheaf of newspaper out of the pile of supplies in the center of the tent
- >You take the newspaper (gabby gums?), some kindling you chopped, and your lighter over to the stove
- >They may be fine now
- >But the temperature will plummet
- >You're all going to need this fire tonight
- >First you crumple up the newspaper and put it in the stove
- >Then you stack the kindling on top in a teepee shape
- >And add a few thicker sticks to ignite the regular wood later
- >"Ano-"
- SSSSHHHH!
- >You need to concentrate on making the fire
- >Or so you want your charges to believe
- >The paper flares up beautifully when you touch your lighter to it
- >Soon enough, you have an nice fire crackling merrily away inside the stove
- >Now for the fun part
- >You turn around to face the p0nies
- >Rarity is the first to speak up
- >"We've been... conversing, and we thought we could co-"
- No
- >"What?"
- I am not going to do it.
- >"But we-"
- Nein!
- >"Ah come on! Ah th-"
- Nope!
- >"We really sho-"
- NYET!
- >The force of your voice shuts them up
- I said NO!
- >You pick up a branch of wood
- >Then you draw your knife and very pointedly begin to whittle it
- End of discussion
- >They seem to get the message, and go back to talking amongst themselves
- >You wouldn't harm them, of course
- >Not in a million years
- >But they don't know that
- >And you have your rapeginity to think of
- >This is for the best
- >You consult your watch
- Time for bed, I think
- >The p0nies have thoughtfully brought your emergency blanket and sleeping pad in with all the other gear
- >So it's little trouble for you to un roll the pad and lay it out
- >There's even a spare pillow for you
- >Nice
- >As you roll out your mat, you glance at the p0nies
- >Each has a smaller blanket, pillow and pad of their own
- >Good for them
- >Then you begin to undress
- >The p0nies suddenly watch you with rapt attention
- >You strip off your boots, snow pants and jacket
- >But you leave your pants and shirt on
- >Best not to take any chances
- >"Awwwwww...."
- >They just proved your suspicions correct
- >You don't exactly trust them in this state
- >But you need to sleep if you're going to make the rest of the trip to Canterlot tomorrow
- >So, after stocking the stove, you rest your weary head, and drift off to sleep....
