A new day for you in Equestria. >It's been a few months since you got here. You adapted quickly. >You actually like being here. >But the real reason of your happiness lies next to you. >You reach your hand to caress-- >Wait >Where is she? >You look around the room >No signs of her >What happened? >"I'm making breakfast, Nonny!" >Oh. >How nice of her. >She always wakes up before you, but she waits until you wake up to get out of the bed. >You always wonder how she get her energy. "Thanks, Pinkie. I'll go get ready to work, then" >You can hear her giggling while you get out of the bed and get dressed as quickly as possible. >It's still cold, despite the town "Wraping Up Winter" last week. >Guess they can't control everything around here. >"The pancakes are ready!" "Coming, dear!"   >"Are you ready for the new day, Nonny?" >You sit and pour some milk on your cup while Pinkie puts s tray full of pancakes on the table "I hope so. Applejack wants to check the roof of the barn today" >"That Applejack surely loves her farm, doesn't she?" "Well, it's her family bussiness, after all" >She takes a bunch of pancakes to her plate and pours syrup on them. >"Well, i'll have to work overtime at the bakery so i'll be a little late to dinner." "Again, Pinkie? You've been working overtime for, like, three days in a row now" >"I know, dear" >She reaches a hoof to your cheek and begins to stroke your face >"I'm so lucky to have you. You really worry about me." >You blush a little "I don't want you to get too stressed, that's all" >She chuckles while swallowing the pancakes on her plate >"Don't worry, Nonny. Trust me, things will turn out okey." "If you say so" >You too share looks while smiling >Your chest fills with joy >Pinkie was one of the very few ponies you could feel at ease with. >When Twilight brought you to Ponyville, she felt compelled to show you around. >You talked a lot together. You became great friends. >And then, when you developed more romantic feelings about her, you two started dating. >It's been months since then. >Now you live together in your house, and things look as best as they can be >But better start eating before the pancakes get cold. >You need to work, Anon >You give a last chug at your milk and go to the bathroom to brush your theeth >"Nonny! You forgot to clean the table!" "Sorry, Pinks. I'll take care of it."   >You are now walking to Sweet Apple Acres >More like jogging. You need to warm up in this chilly morning. >As you enter, you look at Big Macintosh taking a cart to the fields. "Morning, Big Mac. A bit cold, isn't it?" >"Eeyup" "Well, better get to work, then. Where's Applejack? Is she at the barn?" >"Nope" >Huh? >That's odd. You usually find her working at this time of the day >"Is she at the house?" >"Eeyup" "Oh. Okey, then. Thanks!" >You go to the SAA house and knock on the door >"COME IN, ANON!" >You enter the house and find Applebloom in the living >"Mr. Anomynous, mah sis is in the kitchen" "Thanks, Applebloom" >"What took you so long, Anon? Too cold to leave the bedsheets?" >Applejack is at the oven stirring some sort of stew. "No, not at all. I'm right on time" >"You are fifteen minutes late, sugarcube. I bet some pink curls got you tight in bed, then" "WHA-- Wh-- No, AJ. I was busy--" >"Calm down, Anon. No need to pull a ruckus over a simple joke." >That took you by surprise. AJ is more of the serious type. You can expect those sorts of jokes coming from RD, but not from her. >You smirk a little >"Atta boy. Now please hold for a few minutes while i finish this" "What are you doing, anyways?" >"It's our family secret cool down juice. I have to make some for next week" "Oh, i see" >You stare in silence while Applejack works in the kitchen >You wonder what your marefriend is doing. >Maybe she's giving some customers some delicious pastries. >While making that bright smile of hers >That smile is surely a powerful and beautiful sunshine that can pierce any kind of cloud. >"Anon?" >Those eyes that can see everything >"Anon" >"That delicious body >"Anon!" "... Oh, sorry AJ. I... Are we ready?" >Applejack was in front of you while you were daydreaming about Pinkie >"I know you are eager for the big day, but i need you focused on work. Got it, pal?" "I-- Yes, Applejack. Sorry about that." >"Good. Now let's go check those holes in the roof"   >The day went on as you could expect >You fixed the roof, then got to move some barrels and tidy up some storage rooms. >You are now at home and it feel quiet >Pinkie hasn't come back and it shows. >You take the time to read a little >You love Pinkie, but it's hard to read when she's around the house. >Besides, there's a lot about Equestrian culture that you still don't know. >"Hi, Nonny! I'm home" >Guess you'll have to leave the book aside for now. >You give a peek to your marefriend and take her saddlebags off. "How was your day, sweetie?" >"Great. We finished the order for Lyra's birthday, and the fuitcakes got sold out in a blast!" "Great. Great." >"Did you think about me today?" >You look at her >How does she...? "W-- Well, yes i did" >She grins >"I'm gonna make dinner. Do you want anything special?" "Uhm, no. Just do want you want. I trust your choice" >"Hehe." >She skips to the kitchen >She looks very happy today. >You look at her saddlebags and notice a white box protruding from one of them. >A surprise for you, perhaps? >You don't want to ruin it, so you go with the flow and get the table ready   >"Good night, Nonny!" "Good night, Pinkie" >You give each other a passionate kiss and then lay to the side to sleep >Well, Pinkie does. You decided to stare at the hay roof above your head >There was no mention of the box during dinner >Just you two talking about your day. >You managed to make a few jokes. >She really likes your jokes. >Then the mutual bathing and now you two are in bed. >You guess it wasn't important. >... >... >You feel your marefriend lips on yours. >"Good morning, Nonny!" "Mmmm... Good morning, Pinkie" >You open your eyes and see Pinkie right above you. >"Look how i roll, Nonny" >She suddenly goes to the side and siderolls to the kitchen >You chuckle >But damn she looked sexy a few moments ago. >You want to plow her plot so badly. >But she doesn't seem to feel aroused by you. >She loves you. You know that. >And she helps you release your sexual frustration by giving you handjobs. >... Hoofjobs >But still. >"Nonny, stop slouching in bed!" >Oh, right. Better get ready. >You quickly get dressed >You have a few minutes to eat before running to the farm. >"Oh, Nonny. Before you go, i have something for you" >Oh, right. The box. >"Here" >You receive a small bag >"I made you some cookies for lunch. You need the energy to give your best at work. I made them for you" "Aw, thanks Pinkie. I love you so much" >"I love you too, Anon. Please eat them, okey?" "I will"   >You are now eating your sandwich with Applejack >Work has been pretty well >"Ready for the big day, Anon?" >You look to Applejack who is eating some apples "Uuuh yes of course" >You don't know if she's talking about a holyday or something. >But you play it cool. >You'll ask Pinkie tonight. >"I'm not too fond of those days, if i may say. Th' farm needs to be ready for harvest an' all" "Mhmm" >You keep eating. Good thing manners prevent you from replying. >"But maybe someday i'll join in. Who knows" "Mhmmm" >You finish your sandwich and rake the bag out of your pockets >"What's that, Anon?" "Oh, these are come cookies Pinkie gave to me this morning" >"Aww, ain't she the sweetest. She looks very happy with ya, Anon. And that makes me happy for both of you" "Thanks, Applejack" >You eat one cookie from the bag >It tastes sweet. It tastes like vanilla. >"So how are them cookies, Anon?" "Hrnnn,, Good" >"Good? Just good?" >You try another. And another. >They all taste like plain vanilla cookies. "... Yeah, they're good" >"Huh... Guess Pinkie didn't put anything special on 'em" >You give her a glance "I find them delicious, and they are for me, so that's what counts" >You eat the rest of the cookies and clean your hands "Now,let's go work. Where are we---"   >You suddenly feel very strange >You vision blurs and you're losing balance "Aaay.... Jeyyyy.... I..." >"What's wrong, Anon? Anon?" >You try to reach something to hold on, but you fall to the ground >Everything fades to black >...   >"... I... This... Fell..." >"What... don't..." >"... Cre.... fferent..." >You are slowly waking up >You hear some voices, but it's getting hard to concentrate. >Your whole body is in pain >"No... Book" >"Pink.... Get..." >After some struggle, you open your eyes >You're in a bed in a large room. >By the look of the walls, you are inside the Friendship Castle >You can see Twilight and Applejack talking by your side "Ggg... Wh..." >"Anon! Thanks... C... S...!" >"I w... as... h..." >You can see they are talking to you, but you have trouble hearing what they're saying. "I caaghn't heer yo" >"OH... t...L.. Good!" "Whhar aiiis Pinnngi" >Applejack suddenly reacts and goes outside the room >Twilight look atressed. She grabs your face and you see her horn glowing >You feel funny >"CNklanmdnc alkcc aserd?" "wwwhaaa?" >"dasdc alkcc. dda w alkcc?" "I dduuunnn get wwwhhhaa yyu seeein" >Suddenly, another pair of hooves grab you >It's Pinkie. >You are so glad to see her >"POKJ DE RRRRER T T R EE AAA AA SD CASD C DDFF RRRGG FEEE RUU DAA III LOOO JJIII YYII FLIIII" >You don't understand what she says while she hugs you, but she looks very worried >She releases you and gives you a glass bottle >"llluub op" >You look at the glass >"Lluub" >She makes a gesture of drinking with an imaginary cup "Aaayyy caaannt, ddeeeer" >She opens your mouth and puts the bottle in your lips. >You slowly drink the liquid. It feels weird, like coconut juice. >After sdrinking it all, she backs a little >She looks very sad, on the verge of tears actually >Twilight is talking to her. She replies back. >Applejack now enters the room >Twilight looks angry. Pinkie looks to the side. >The pain begins to fade. >"ahdk adesn d we ade ffuu sure dffrrr can't be ssssee should ddo" >"I'm sorrrrrr" >"Now, now... At lfsd we now kdcn djl and Anonymous will be better" >"Still, this was a very dangerous act and you must take full responsibility about it" "... He-hey... I'm feeeling... Better"   >The three ponies turn to face you >Pinkie smiles a little, but she still looks sad >"I'm sorry, Nonny. I didn't mean to hurt you" "Whha... Whaat do you meean?" >"She tried a new recipe and you didn't take it well, Anonymous" >You start to remember the cookies "Oh... What wass in those cookies?" >Pinkie strokes your hair >"I'm sorry. I was... " >"At least Anon's fine, now. That's what matters. I'm goin' home now. You can take tomorrow off, Anon" >You look at Applejack heading outside "... Okey, Applejack." >Twilight suddenly levitates a book and writes some notes >"Anonymous, i'm going to ask you to come back to the castle in the future. Since we don't know much about your species, i was unable to find a cure for your disease. Luckily Pinkie knows you enough and brought that potion to heal you" >You look at Pinkie >She looks very sad still >Your body feels normal, so you raise your arms and hug her >She sobs "Shhhh don't worry. I'm okey." >"Uhm... Well, if there's anything you need i'll be in the throne room" >You keep hugging her while Twilight leaves. >Pinkie turns her head to look at you >"I'm sorry, Nonny." "It's okey, Pinkie. Let's go home" >"Do you feel okey? You don't have to force your body" "Nah, i'm okey now. Actually..." >You jump from the bed and make a pose "I feel a lot better than usual" >"Oohhh" >You turn to see Pinkie >She looks surprised "Well... Llet's go home then." >"Oh-- Sure thing, Nonny"   >You notice while leaving the castle that it's almost sunset. >You must have been passed out a few hours >What was in those cookies? >Well, at least you feel better now >Actually, you feel full of energy >So full of energy that... "Pinkie, wanna race back home?" >"Nonny, no! You were in bed a few minutes ago!" >You ignored her >You wanted to run >You sprinted across the streets, avoiding ponies with ease. >You get to your house amazingly fast. >NICE! >But as soon as you enter, Pinkie grabs you and sits you in the sofa >"Nonny, please! You need to rest!" "But Pinkie! I feel amazing. Did you see how i ran?" >"I know. But i'm worried about you. I still need to--" >She suddenly shuts her mouth and looks to the side >"You need to sleep, Nonny. Tomorrow you can go workout with Dashie if you want, but i want you to take it low for now" "Pinkie..." >"Would you do it? For me?" >She is now looking at you with her beautiful eyes >She is giving you that adorable look she does when she is asking you a huge favour >Or when she wants sweets "... Okey, Pinkie. You win. I'll go take a bath and go to sleep" "YAY! I'll join you then" >You both go upstairs >You feel kinda weird >You want to run with all your might >But you love Pinkie. And she is right after all. You were completely wasted back in the castle. >Better take it slow and steady.   >A new day welcomes you and your marefriend >You feel a little sore from the sprint, but besides that you feel pretty normal >Not energetic. Not sick. >Normal >"How are the muffins, Nonny?" >You leave your trance and look at Pinkie >She looks worried. You haven't touched your breakfast "Uh, sorry Pinks. I was thinking, that's all" >You start eating >These muffins are good. Everything she does is exquisite. >One of the reasons you love her so much. She is a great baker! >... >You feel a familiar flavor, though. "Pinkie?" >"Yes, Nonny?" "This muffins taste a little like vanilla" >"Oh, you noticed. I wanted to make the strawberry stand out, so i added vanilla to complement it" "Uuuuhhh... So these muffins are completely safe then?" >"Wha--- Ooohhh, silly Anon. I' not going to poison you again. That recipe is no longer in my memory. Poof" >She makes a gesture with her hoofs, like an imaginary thought is going out of her mind "Oh, i see" >"So since you don't have to go to work today just relax and read while i go out for some groceries. Okey, sweetie?" "Okey, dear. I don't feel like working out anymore, so i won't move from the house" >Pinkie gives you a kiss >"I love you, Nonny" "I love you too" >And with that, she leaves >You sit on the sofa and start reading about the ancient wars between the pegasi and the griffons. >But as time passes, you start feeling sweaty >This book is exciting! >You imagine yourself in those battles >Fighting for your life. Struggling against great foes! >Making your way to victory!! >Your body feels pumped >You want to make a hundred push-ups >You jump from your sofa "Huh?" >That's weir-- Now let's go find Rainbow Dash! >But Pinkie! >You run to the kitchen and leave a note >It says "Gone to RD", but it looks like you scribbled it while hanging upside down >Well, you were writing it while doing squats, so here's that >Now, a quick sprint! >And off you go to meet Dash   >After some running, you find RD >She is on a hill in the outskirts of Ponyville, stretching her wings >You usually go to this spot with Pinkie to watch her do her flying stunts >Today, though, you want to do something different. "Rainbow Dash, just the pony i wanted to see" >"Oh, hi Anon. Where's Pinkie?" "She's at the market. Wanna race?" >She gazes you and chuckles >"What? You want to race me? I knew you'll get to be funny like Ponks one day" >Hey, what's with the remark? You have a good sense of hum-- "Come on, RD! I feel like running today" >"Huh. No joke then? Alright, i'm gonna trot slow so you don't feel too bad" "Good, good" >"Okey, on our marks" >You put in position. Rd still smirks >"Get set!" >You feel like a spring that's gonna bounce at any second >"GO!" >You release your legs and begin to run with all your might >You enjoy the air passing through you >You breathe and feel your lungs quickly refilling you with oxygen >You are focused on the path ahead >"He- Anon! WHa--" >RD is not running at your side >She looks angry, but determined >Now you are both trying to pass each other >She is blowing steam out of her nose >You keep your legs moving. With each step you feel more alive. >This feels awesome >You both keep running pass the hill and through the forest >None of you are willing to give space >RD looks tired, but determined >You don't know how much you can keep running like this, but you don't mind >You are living the now >You want only to run >And so, you both make a run through the forest and back, until you reach the hill again >RD is almost on the verge of collapsing, but she give a last effort to get first to the start spot >But you want to win >You don't know why, but you want to win >And so you speed up >Almost there >ha! >You both reach the starting spot almost at the same time >You reduce your speed and make a smal trot while Rainbow is walking completely exhausted >"Oh... Wha... Anon... You.... Couldn't... Beat... Me..."   "What? I was ahead. I won!" >"No you... Didn't... I... Agh.... Won by a.... Head" "Pppftt you wish! Wanna do it again?" >"Anon... I... How can you... You weren't so..." "Fast? I don't know, really. I feel incredible." >You begin to do some squats again >RD is gaining breath but she doesn't look like she wants to do anything else. "Well if you are not in the mood for more running let's talk then. How have you been?" >She glances at you while drinking some water >"I'm fine, Anon. Not as good as you, but... at least i can fly. And... pretty well" >You are now flexing your body and doing push-ups. >"The only thing i'm worried about is getting a stallion for this Saturday" "A stallion? Why would you need one?" >"Ugh, i know! I shouldn't be worried about it but i want this season to have somepony for once" >Huh. This season... >You have some faint memories from your world, but you remember spring making human more eager to have relationships, too. >Must be the same for ponies. >"I mean, i don't want to be like AJ who seems to love apples more than anything else" "Hahaha." >"Do you have any plans for Pinks, then?" "Plans?" >"Yeah. Not to be rude, Anon, but she is kinda demanding in those days, if you know what i mean" >You don't recall Pinkie being "demanding" >She looks totally fine with the way both of you are living >She doesn't seem ambicious "I guess i'll take her out one of these da--" >You suddenly freeze >All your muscles tense and your whole body paralizes >You feel a wave of piercing pain "FFUUUUUU--" >You recoil in pain at the ground >"Anon... What are you doing?" "I.... Pain... It hurts!" >"Oh, crap. I'll get Pinkie" >She dashes off to Ponyville while you crouch and twist, your muscles screaming in pain while you shout and cry. >What is happening to you? >You were doing those incredible features of strenght and endurance a few moments ago >And now you are a weird worm twisting while screaming in the ground.   >Sure, working at the farm makes you fit enough, but you don't do much else. >So these bursts of energy are very strange to you >"Nonny!" >You turn your head to see Pinkie running to your side >"Nonny i told you to stay inside why are you here is it true that you raced Dashie and you got me so worried you need to rest and here take this water and please get better please please" >She puts a glass bottle in your mouth and you drink the "coconut juice" again >The pain slowly fades away >You lay on the ground while your muscles start to relax >"Pinkie, do you know why Anon is acting weird? I've never seen him running so fast" >"Well, i--" >"Not as fast as me, of course. But still, he was amazing. It was a tense run" >"Huh" >"Yeah, we run like, the whole forest in almost an hour. He could win the running of the leaves if he wanted!" >"..." >"But he will have to outrun me, first!" >"Nonny, are you okay?" >You don't feel any sort of pain, but you don't want to move. "I feel fine" >She hugs you >"Don't worry, dear. I'm here. I love you" ".. Thanks, Pinkie. I love you too" >Pinkie keeps hugging you for a while >After you feel better, the three of you go back to your house   >The rest of the day was pretty relaxing. >Pinkie left you in your house and went back to work. >RD made some conversation, raided your fridge and then left. >You read a little, then took a nap >Now you're awake, and it's night time. >Where is Pinkie, by the way? >There aren't any lights in the house so she hasn't come back. >You take a look outside >You can see Pinkie walking towards the house, looking very tired >You feel bad for her, she's probably making lots of work in the pastry shop and now she has to worry about you. >You wish to know how to stop your condition, but... How? >You're not sick. At least you don't feel sick. >No one in this world knows jack shit about humans >Pinkie opens the door slowly "Don't worry, Pinkie. I'm awake. I haven't turn the lights on, that's all" >"Oh, Nonny. Good evening, honey. How you feel?" >She gives you a soft kiss. She really looks about to fall asleep. "I feel fine. But i'm actually worried about you. Too much work at Sugarcube Corner?" >"Well, you know how ponies ask for more cakes in these days." >She yawns. You get up from the sofa. >"Are you hungry? Sorry if i'm not in the mood for making dinner. I brought some pastries from-" "Oh, don't worry sweetie. Let's go take a bath and go to bed. You need to rest" >She smiles >"Thanks, Nonny."   >... >"Nonny?" "... Yes, Pinkie?" >"We have to wake up" "I know" >"..." "..." >"Nonny" "Mhmm?" >You open one eye and see Pinkie looking at you, her legs hugging you tightly >"There's a special surprise for you tonight. But we need to get up if you want it" "A surprise? For me?" >"Mhmm" >You feel in paradise right now >Applejack won't mind if... >... Ugh >You sigh "Okey, Pinkie. Let's start a new day" >"Yay!" "But i need you to release me first" >"Oh, right. Tee hee~~" >She turns around and jumps to the bathroom >You get out of the bed and start dressing for work. >Some muffins and coffee later, and you're oof to work. >You don't feel anything out of the ordinary >Maybe those strange changes in your body won't happen again. >You still have a whole day to find out >So you have to be patient >"Howdy, Anon" >You see Applejack moving some barrels. >She's carrying some saddlebags with bottles. "Good morning, AJ" >"You seem fine today. Seems i don't have t' worry about you again." "I hope so too" >"Alright. I have lots of work for you. So saddle up." >You smile >The more work Applejack has for you, the quickier the day will pass.   >Well, she was right on that >You have been working your ass off non stop >Fixing stuff, moving stuff, making stuff. >AJ is working alongside, but she pretty much helps you while your hands do the work. >You see her drinking a lot from those bottles she brought. >You feel thirsty "AJ, can you give me a drink?" >She gazes at you >"And why would you need?-- Oops, sorry Anon. This is my cool-down juice. Remember?" >You recall the time when you were in the kitchen in her house. "Oh, right. The thing you were making." >"Yeah, Anon. It will help me focus on work. You don't need it." "Huh... Okey. I'll go get some water for me then." >You walk to a nearby well. >That was awkward. >"Anon, wait." >You turn to face AJ >"Since we are talking about it, i won't mind if you don't show up. I mean... With how... Things... Go and all that." >She looks a bit flustered. "I'm sorry, Applejack. Why won't i show up?" >"Oh, i'm saying it 'cause... Right, i forget you are different. I... Didn't mean to say you were weak." >This is getting more and more confusing. >"Still, Pinkie looks like the kind of mare that will... Be very clingy in this period, if you know what i mean." >You try to wrap your head with all this, but you're getting nowhere. "Applejack, i have no idea what you're talking about." >She stopped moving >Now she fixes her eyes on you >She looks... Kinda surprised. >Frightened, maybe? >"... Anon?" "Yes, Applejack?" >"You know what day is tomorrow, right?"   >You make some thoughts "Uuuhhh it's Saturday, AJ." >She is now looking really frightened >"... Anon... The big day, remember? The one we talked about?" >"Uuuuhhh.." >You do recall she was talking about a big day. >But you dismissed it as one of those pony holydays that look suspiciously like those you had in your world. >Like easter or something. >She is now grabbing your head with her hooves and gets closer to you. >"Anon, you okay? You sure those cookies didn't mess with your head?" >You are feeling very annoyed with all this >You grab her front legs and throw them down "Applejack! Please! I feel fine, i remember everything from the last few days and i really don't know what you're talking about! So please get to the point! What happens on Sat--?" >"ESTRUS, ANON. ESTRUS HAPPENS ON SATURDAY"   >Applejack is coughing a little >You look at her, feeling a little confusing. "... Estrus?" >"Yes, Anon. Estrus. It last a whole week an-" "Isn't it a dogs and cats thing? I mean... Like..." >Applejack is now confused >"Well it happens to all animals" "Not to humans, though." >"Not to humans?" "No, not at all... Well, our females have periods and all but we humans can breed all year" >"..." >You make some thoughts "... Wait. So you ponies have estrus too, huh? That's why Dash wanted to find a stallion?" >AJ nods "... And that's why you're drinking that liquid. So that you can keep doing your bussiness." >She nods again "... Huh. Guess the signs were all around. I was just misinformed, hehe" >You chuckle a little. But AJ is now frowning. >"So you never talked with Pinkie about this? You didn't even know about estrus?" "I mean, i do know about it. I just didn't know it happened to you girls" >"Well... I dunno how to tell you this, but... You should go talk to your marefriend right now." "Are you sure? We still have a few--" >"Yes, i'm sure. Go." >She points to Ponyville while you are just standing there >You turn around slowly and walk away >You feel very confused right now, but at least you know where to get the answers. >You clear your mind a little and go to Sugarcube Corner.   >While you walk towards Ponyville, you think >Why no one told you about estrus? >It's weird >Maybe you are affeccted by estrus too and that's why you've been sick these days. >... >That was a retarded thought >You are a human. A male human. >But you are in Equestria. Maybe the world around you is affecting you. >You don't get to think too much because you are now in Ponyville >At it looks like the day before Heart Warming's Eve. >Ponies are running everywhere. They carry bags and lots of stuff. >They all look in a hurry. They all look desperate to get done and get home. >But they also look very very happy. >Most of the mares are smiling. The stallions are carrying big shitting grins. >Some even manage to smile despite carrying bags on their mouth >You pass though them like avoiding bullets. >You finally arrive to Sugarcube Corner >There's a line of ponies outside of the building. >Fuck >You look at the side entrance and see if no one is looking >You quickly go and enter from there >You are in the kitchen, and it's a nightmare >All the ovens are working. >Mr. and Mrs. Cake are running around, moving equipment and ingredients. >They look like they are cleaning >And they're also looking joyful >"Anon! What are you doing here? You must not be in the kitchen!" "I'm sorry. I--" >"If you want something, you must wait in line like everypony else" "I came here to tal-" >"Pinkie is at the counter. But she is too busy to talk to you" "I'll try it anyway, Mr. Cake" >You pass the chaos at the kitchen and go to the counter >What you see is...   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6S3ISlvlEbs [Embed] >If you thought there was chaos in the kitchen, this place looks like something even Discord can't top. >All the ponies are piled over and behind the counter, screaming and pushing other ponies around >Pinkie is pushing buttons at the cash register, and is also wrapping up the pastries, and is also throwing the boxes to the crowd >And everything looks synchronized. >All the yelling, button pressing, wraping and tossing is having some kind of weird rythm >Pinkie is actually enjoying all this >All ponies cheer when a pony grabs his pastries and leaves >You decide to go to a nearby table and look at the show from the side. >No one but you is sitting at the tables. All the ponies are taking their orders to go. >They all look happy despite all the pushing around. >You feel a little odd looking at all this >You don't feel happy about this >You look kinda worried. >Not sad, though. >Confused. >You want to get answers >A few hours later, the line clears >Pinkie gives the last cupcake and removes the sweat from her forehead. >The Cakes get out of the kitchen and look around. >"Finally. And just in time." >"Yes, Mrs. Cake. We sold everything." >"We couldn't have done it whithout you, Pinkie" >"It's my package in the kitchen" >"Of course, it's ready for you to take. Did you talk with your coltfriend" >"Talk with--? ANON?" >You wave. Seems she didn't notice you when you arrived. >"WHEN DID YOU-- Sorry Nonny i was too busy here and you know how these days are and you're not supposed to be here we were going to meet at home but don't worry me and the Cakes are done for the day and oh i feel so tired" >She gives you a tight hug while spurting words. >It makes you feel a little guilty of what you're going to say "Pinkie..." >"Yes, Nonny?" "We need to talk" >She inmediately releases you and stares at you. >"Wh... What's wrong, Nonny?" "Just sit, i'm a little confused and i need some answers right now"   >She sits next to you >Compared to a few moments ago, the place looks eerily quiet >You take a look outside and see that there are fewer ponies running around the streets. "Uhm... I'm... Not up to date with all the things going around here" >"... What do you mean, Nonny?" "Well, Applejack told me that estrus was coming" >"Yes, but everypony knows that, silly!" "Exactly. EveryPONY knows that" >She now glares at you and her eyes go wide. >"Nonny!... You didn't know?" "No, Pinkie." >"B-but... But the past season..."   "I don't remember seeing or experiencing anything like this before" >She is now pondering >Suddenly a lightbulb pops from above her head >"I KNOW! You appeared here a few days before fall, right? So that means you arrived a few weeks after our last estrus period!" >You stare at her >She's not wrong, but... "But then, why didn't know about this? Why no one told me?" >She looks to the side for a while >"Didn't Twilight tell you?" "No, she didn't" >"She was supposed to tell you all you needed to know about Equestria" "Yes, she was. But she didn't tell me about this" >She now looks worried >"Oh" "Yes, 'oh' indeed" >Pinkie looks sad now "Hey, hey. No need to feel bad, sweetie" >You pass a hand on her cheek >She closes her eyes and smiles a little now. She grabs your hand with her hooves while passing her head slowly "I feel confused, that's all. Now please be a dear and tell me all about this estrus thing, please?"   >"Mhmm... Well, you know where babies come from, right?" >You chuckle, but she frowns a little because of it. "Okey, okey. I' following. I know" >"Right... So, for fertile mares like me or Mrs. Cake, there are this days of the year when we feel ready to breed. Are you with me so far?" "Yes, i'm listening >"Okey, so these days start in spring and end in summer. They go in periods, like a few days in between a couple of weeks." "I see" >"So since we have this need to breed we... Uhm... Get ready for that. Gather lots of food, pay all our bills, and then enjoy estrus in the comfort of your home with the stallion you love!" "Oh" >"Of course, there are mares that simply choose to not go with it, or agree to have a partner to have fun without making babies, but that's how it works! Any questions, Nonny?" "Mmmm... No, not at all" >"Good. You're a good, smart, Nonny. Now go home while i finish closing the store" "Can i wait here?" >"Uhm... Okey. It doesn't look like this place needs cleaning. Excuse, Nonny!" >She gives you a huge smooch and goes to the counter >You look at her while she cleans and sorts out the bits from the cash register >You feel a lot better now. Your mind is at ease. And now that you know, you can enjoy estrus with-- "Pinkie!" >"Yes, Nonny?" "Uhm, so that means you and i are gonna--" >"Of course, silly willy! We'll spend the whole estrus season together!" >Oh... >... OOHH FUCK YES   >You are now walking home >You are carrying a big box full of treats from Sugarcube Corner >There was also a bag of other stuff that Pinkie bought beforehand >Pinkie is bouncing at your side >She looks happy, but not different like the other ponies >She is almost always happy >You love that of her >You enjoy the happy moments and help her in the sad moments >Still, you have doubts about all this "... Pinkie?" >"Yes, Nonny?" "Uhm... I'm a little worried about... This" >She stops bouncing and now walks along >"Don't worry that much, Nonny. Just relax and enjoy." >You blush a little at the thought while Pinkie starts bouncing again "Yeah, maybe i should enjoy our evening" >"Yeah, the evening, the morning... The whole day and night, Nonny!" >You stop walking >Pinkie keeps bouncing ahead "... What?" >She notices you are standing behind and turns back >"C'mon, Nonny. We have to get everything ready" >You stare at her >You look around Ponyville >Only a few ponies are running around >The sky looks gorgeous. A clear spring afternoon. "... What do you mean by... The whole day and night?" >She turns her head a little >"Did you forget? Do you need me to explain it to you again? Okey. Do you know were babies come from, rig--?" "No, no, no, Pinkie... I'm fine with everything so far" >"So? What's wrong then?" "The 'whole day and night' thing. Does that mean we..." >You look again to see if there's anyone around "Will make love often?" >She tilts her head >"Well, yeah. This whole week we will make love. Non-stop." >She turns around and resumes bouncing >"Hooray! I can't wait to get home" >You are trying to move, but a strange feeling of primal panic has taken your body >Specially your private parts
