PREVIOUSLY ON PINKIE “QUEST”
 
You were awoken at an unreasonable hour by a nervous Pinkie Pie, who invited you to spend her vacation with her at a beach resort. You spent the morning traveling and walking the resort's surrounding town before spending the early afternoon windsurfing. Pinkie showed off her windsurfing suit, much to your enjoyment, before you showed your mad windsurfing skills. Pinkie, in an effort to catch your eye and/or emulate your style, endangered herself by attempting a stunt she was perhaps not ready for. You dove in to rescue the flailing pony before returning with her to your hotel room.
 
It was there that she pushed you into a hot shower and cried into your arms, revealing her worries during her moment of panic. You consoled her as best you could and the two of you napped the afternoon away, ordering a small meal via room service and enjoying each others company despite that afternoon's worrisome event.
 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
>You're having trouble sleeping. Must've been the napping from yesterday.
>Pinkie was too troubled to do anything, insisting that she just wanted to be in the same room as you. “Being in the same room” translating to “clinging to you for the rest of the day and night.” Not that you mind
>You turn your head to look at the hotel digital clock on the night stand, doing your best not to rouse the sleeping Pinkie Pie who, even in her slumber, clings to your arm fiercely. In her sleep she looks happy, a small smile stretching over her resting features.
>The clock reads 4am. You've been drifting in and out for a while, but you're starting to feel the need to get up and stretch your legs at least
>The room has the standard hotel devices. A really small coffee maker located in the bathroom since you aren't in a suite with a kitchen, a microwave right next to the T.V. on the chest of drawers, an ironing board and iron in the small closet near the door, the bathroom, an air conditioner.....
>Might need to go outside the room to stretch without waking Pinkie
>But first you'll have to disentangle yourself from Pinkie's loving clutches

>You slowly turn back the sheets from your side of the bed and begin to rotate your legs out to the side
>With your hand opposite the arm Pinkie is clutching, you begin to gently peel her hooves off you
>In response she squeezes your arm a little tighter, setting you back
>You give a deep sigh of frustration, causing Pinkie's eyes to flutter before she licks her lips and snuggles up to your arm some more
 
>You're not getting anywhere at this rate. You decide to give it a few minutes and try again.
 
>The second attempt proves successful, to an extent
>You successfully get both her hooves disentangled from your arm and begin to rise from the bed, when the bed gives a loud squeak
>Pinkie stirs in her sleep, eyelids raising before she sees you standing and yawns, rubbing an eye
>"Wh....where are you going?"
 
>You stand up, raising your arms above your head as you stand on tiptoes and stretch a little before turning to Pinkie, "My legs are pretty stiff, I need to stretch them out a bit."
>Your stomach growls audibly, causing Pinkie to give a sleepy giggle.
>"Guess I could use some food too. Would you...like to join me?"
>She rubs her eyes with her hooves and yawns again, "Mmmm.....can we have some coffee first?"
>"Uh, sure."
>Since Pinkie is still lying in bed groggily, you take it upon yourself to get the coffee ready. Once the machine starts up you head back into the main room and sit on the edge of the bed
>Pinkie is still waking up, but she's sitting upright and looking at you with a smile on her face
>You find her company pleasurable, even in the silence of a morning started too early
 
>You decide to break the silence.
>"So....how did you sleep?"
>Pinkie fidgets a little in the bed, looking at her hidden legs and rubbing her front hooves together like you would rub your hands together
>"Good..," she hesitates for a moment, her mouth slightly ajar before she presses on, "I..I'm glad you were here. With me."
>She gives you a smile no less radiant than her usual, but it has a kind of awkwardness about it.....
>You decide to put your hand on her fidgeting hooves, bringing them to a stop and Pinkie's smile falters for a moment
>You're not exactly sure what to say to that, your throat tightening a bit and your heartbeat suddenly feeling like it's bouncing around your body
>Eventually you manage, "A...Always."
>Pinkie's eyes appear to soften a bit, though it's hard to tell in the near darkness of the room. Before anything else can be done she leans forward and gives you a peck on the cheek.
>You're about to say something else when the coffee machine beeps, Pinkie hopping up with a quick "I'll get it!" and trotting to the bathroom to pour the cups herself.
 
>She returns with the small tray that hotels usually have next to the coffee machine balanced precariously on her back as she slowly walks from the bathroom to where you sit
>Though the coffee sloshes in the mugs and threatens to spill she manages to get to you without problems
>You take the tray from her and set it on the nightstand as you grab a mug for yourself
>Pinkie climbs up on the bed again, sitting next to you as she takes the coffee mug in both front hooves as she takes a cautious sip
>You do likewise and nearly balk at the overly sugary taste.
>Pinkie sees your look, "Oh! I'm sorry, you must have mine! Here, this one is yours. Mine is.....a little different."
>You switch and find this one to be more to your liking. The two of you sit in the room sipping coffee for a while. By the time you're done it's almost 6am
>The first orange rays can be seen out your window
>Your stomach growls again, insisting you get some food
>A thought crosses your mind and you grab your map of the town, looking at eateries.
>You point to one with a questioning look on your face, Pinkie seems to understand and nods before hopping off the bed leading the way
>The two of you find an outdoor cafe that serves breakfast. The best part is that it's a short walk from the hotel and the beach can be seen from a patio
>You direct Pinkie to the table closest to the beach and the rising sun, the two of you gazing out at the water as the sun slowly rises
>You order pancakes and Pinkie orders crepes with extra fruit, the two of you chowing down with fervor while stealing glances at the beautiful scenery and occasionally each other, always giving a full cheeked smile when your eyes meet
 
>All too soon the meal is over, but the sun is partially hidden by clouds and it's not fully day yet, the warm rays still orange instead of blinding
 
>Your plates are taken by the waiter as you eye the sunrise one final time before turning to Pinkie and asking if she'd like to try this nature walk that's mentioned in a hotel brochure you spotted in the lobby
>Pinkie thinks about it for a moment, chewing on an after meal mint that came along with the check. (You insisted on paying since Pinkie paid for the train tickets and invited you in the first place.)
>She finally nods in agreement, "As long as we don't get too far from the town, I'm up for whatever you want to do!"
>You decide you should grab a couple bottles of water for each of you, stopping at a small mart of sorts not far from the nature walk entrance before heading to the nature walk proper
>You arrive at a small dirt path with a wooden sign, "Nature Walk, cared for by the local Apple Scouts, Troop 267"
>The cleared path winds it's way across a brief field before heading into a thin forest, tall pine and oak trees on either side
>The path appears to split in two directions not far from the start. One sign points to a path that looks like it goes up hill, towards the mountains behind the town, "Hiker trail *Free lodge rest points with electricity and a stove."
>The other points across a largely flat path, it looks like it heads over a small swamp, "Scenery walk, closed shelters in case of storms, recommended for general public or beginning hikers"
 
>You take a moment to look at Pinkie and ask which path she'd like to take
>She looks at the two signs, her eyes narrowed in thought as she considers her options
>After a moment she looks back at you, "The hiking one sounds more fun, but the easy one is probably shorter and we could do something afterward. It doesn't look like it'll rain right now, so we're probably safe picking whichever you want. I'll be right behind you either way!"
 
>For a moment you lose yourself in a daydream where a storm rages and the two of you are alone in a cabin, hugging each other for warmth when your eyes meet and you begin to lean in for a kiss, her perfect pink lips only inches from yours.....
>"Hey! HEY! Anybody in there?" Pinkie raps on your head with a hoof before giggling as you snap out of it. "So, what's it going to be?"
>Oh, right. "Uh, the hiking trail seems nice. Might be more scenic."
>Pinkie gives an enthusiastic bounce, "Exactly! Let's get going then!"
>You start on the trail up hill
>The scenery IS rather nice, lush trees on both sides of the path, a small creek running down one side of the path once you've been at it for about half an hour
>The day is in full swing and the air is becoming a little humid. The suns rays are partially blocked by the foliage but it's the muggy humidity in the air that's making the two of you sweat as the path gets a little tougher
>You take up some idle banter now and again, generally making sure the other is doing ok
>Another hour passes and you find yourself at a plateau of sorts. The two of you step out onto it and you gawk.
>The forest has been cleared from this particular section, giving a perfect view of the town from above. The sky is beginning to cloud over, but the view is still remarkable, the town looking like small models, you can even see the train pull up to the station
>The two of you sit on the ground, leaning against a boulder as you drink some of your water and gaze at the view together as you catch your breath
>"Wowie! Isn't this great!" Pinkie remarks before resting her head on your shoulder, "I could just...sit here all day like this..."
 
>You take a look around, smiling as Pinkie rests. Sure enough, one of the lodges is not far from where you are, a smaller path set off to the side leading to a single level cabin hidden in the nearby woods, a plain sign pointing at it
>There's a rumble in the sky that makes the two of you look up before Pinkie's tail spasms
>Pinkie grabs it, a look of worry on her face suddenly, "Uh oh...."
>A bright flash crosses your vision in the distance, followed by a thunderclap of near deafening proportions
>The sky is suddenly very dark, how long were you sitting here? Where did this storm come from?
>Pinkie jumps at the clap of thunder, "Let's get inside that cabin, quick!"
>The irony of the situation hits you as the first raindrops splatter onto your head as the two of you rush to the cabin
>You get inside and flip a switch on the wall, making a single bulb flicker into activity above you
>There's an old fashioned stove next to a fireplace, a single table and a handful of chairs scattered about the room, all the furniture being made of stained wood
>It's not much, but at least it's a shelter
>The rain is coming down outside the simple glass windows, looks like you'll be here for a while
>Pinkie is shaking herself off near the inactive fire place
 
>There's a cabinet above the old stove and you open it to check for supplies
>You're in luck, there are heavy plastic bags labeled for different supplies
>"Fireplace", "Duct Tape", "Hot chocolate", "Miscellaneous", and some canned goods. Not much, just a few cans of soup and some old cooking ware to use.
>You grab the bag labeled "Fireplace" and open it to find some matches and lighter fluid, as well as a note saying that there's firewood stored in a lower cabinet
>You grab the supplies and, after a few tries, get a small fire going, the smell of hickory filling the inside of the cabin
>On further investigation of supplies there's a bag that contains a deck of cards
>It would seem the scouts had just about everything in mind when they set it up, even ways to pass the time
>Speaking of time, you head to the window to take a look out through the water drenched panes
>The rain is still coming down pretty hard, the occasional flash and rumble signaling the storm is well underway, but not too threatening
 
>The room is warming nicely thanks to the fire, though it wasn't particularly cold when you first entered come to think of it
>You ask Pinkie how she's doing and inform her of the supplies you found
>She says she's not hungry yet but could go for some hot chocolate
>A jug of water is on the floor next to the stove, a note on it saying "Please refill when you're done, use the outdoor faucet out back", and you boil some of the water for some hot chocolate for the two of you
>Pinkie sits in a chair, happily swinging her hind legs as she hums to herself. She doesn't seem to be bothered by the storm at all, except for the odd jump when thunder sounds, always followed by a small laugh that seems to energize the room
>You bring her one of the worn tin mugs that were in the supply cabinet, filled with steaming hot chocolate
>You sit opposite her and open up the pack of cards, suggesting you play a game to pass the time
>She enthusiastically agrees, and asks what you'd like to play
 
>You jokingly suggest Strip Poker, knowing full well Pinkie is currently naked. That thought sticks in your mind for a moment, so you nearly miss when Pinkie says, "Sounds fun!"
>You must have a pretty strange look on your face because Pinkie suddenly starts laughing uncontrollably, pointing a hoof at you as she struggles to regain her breath, nearly falling from her chair
>"Oh...oh....oh wow....Tell me when we're starting to make silly faces at each other, I wasn't ready!"
>You regain your composure as Pinkie finally settles down again, taking a sip of her hot chocolate with a light chuckle
>"Pinkie...you...don't wear clothes....how would that work?"
>"Easy! We split the clothes you're wearing right now between the two of us and go from there! Now, which half do I get, top or bottom?"
 
>You decide Pinkie should have your shirt and socks, you opt to leave your shoes out of it since you want to have equal amounts of clothing for each of you
>And so it is that you have your pants and undergarments while Pinkie has your T-shirt and socks
>Pinkie laughs as you hand over the clothes, slightly embarrassed at being shirtless
>That embarrassment is thrown out when she puts on your T-shirt and slips your socks on her hind feet, climbing off the chair and giving a little twirl as if at a fashion show, before pulling down on the bottom of your T-shirt and leaning forward with a wink
>This pony really knows how to press your buttons and she knows it, returning to her chair with a giggle, "Alright, let's start!"
 
>You shuffle the cards and deal out the hands, still a little ruffled at Pinkie's display
>You exchange a couple bum cards and Pinkie does likewise before the two of you gaze at each other over your cards
>You both put your hands face up at the same time revealing:
>Pinkie has: Three of a Kind
>You have: Two Pair
 
>Pinkie wins the hand
>You sigh a little before putting on a smile as you stand and unbutton your trousers, Pinkie egging you on
>"No, you can't just take them off! You gotta put some show into it! Come on, shake it!"
 
>It's Pinkie's turn to shuffle, though it takes her a while without having fingers and all. Though she manages to bridge them properly, to your immense surprise
>The hands are dealt, cards exchanged and you flip your hands face up for the second time
>Pinkie has: A Straight! 8 high
>You have: A Flush!
>You win the hand!
 
>Pinkie gives a small "Awwww," before winking at you and hops up from her seat
>She's still wearing your pants, dragging the flapping legs across the floor as she walks towards you on her hind legs as best she can
>She sticks her tongue out of the corner of her mouth playfully as she turns around, bends over, and places her hooves on her "knees" displaying the rumpled buttocks of your pants, her tail stuffed into them and creating an odd looking set of bulges
>She then raises herself slowly, using both front hooves to remove the T-shirt from under the waistband and raising it above her head, making sure to rub her hooves sensually across her now exposed back before removing the T-shirt completely and handing it to you with another wink, strutting back to her seat while swaying her hips and looking over her shoulder at you
 
 
>You say a small prayer to the RNG gods as Pinkie slides the deck to you
>You shuffle, draw, exchange cards and reveal your hands
>Pinkie has: A Straight Flush!
>You have: Three of a kind
>Pinkie wins the hand!
 
>You aren't about to remove your boxers, so you hand the T-shirt you had yet to put back on to Pinkie as she whines a little about you not strutting or anything, but you weren't wearing the shirt so she'll make an exception. This time.
 
>When you take your seat Pinkie offers you a deal: "If you win this hand you get all your clothes back and win. But if I win, you have to run back to the hotel with me in the rain, naked."
>If you don't take the deal the game continues as normal, but this gives you a chance to win outright on the next hand.
 
 
>You feel like you're sweating bullets, is the room too warm or what?
>You wipe your forehead with the back of your hand as Pinkie holds your gaze, an eyebrow arched and a smug smile on her face as you squirm
>"Alright. But only on the condition that if I lose, you have to help me warm up back at the hotel."
>Pinkie chuckles before sticking a hoof out across the table, "Deal!"
>You reach out and shake hand to hoof with Pinkie before handing the deck to her
>The hands are dealt and you're ready to play your hand. You've got a good feeling about this one, or so you think. Maybe you're just being optimistic.
 
>You reveal your hands!
>Pinkie has: Straight, 10 high!
>You have: Straight, 10 high!
 
>It's a draw.....
 
>Pinkie looks at you, "Huh. What're the chances...."
>She smacks her hooves on the table suddenly, "DO OVER!"
 
>You're hands are slick as you draw your hand
>You throw your cards face up, Pinkie doing that same while giving her best poker face
>Pinkie has: Full House!
>You have: A Flush!
>Pinkie wins the hand!
 
>You hang your head in shame as Pinkie squeals with joy at her victory
>You slowly rise, your face beyond red and heading into purple territory now
>Your hands are on your waste band when a pink hoof settles on your right hand
>Pinkie is looking up into your face, a sort of sad look about her
>"H-hey...are you okay? If it bothers you that much, you don't have to."
>She takes a moment to look out the window, "Hey, it's not raining anymore!"
>She's right, it's not. The sun is peeking through an overcast sky but it looks like the storm has moved on
>She looks back at you, "That means you don't have to do it if you really don't want to. Running through the rain was part of our deal, after all."
 
>You allow yourself to sigh, the redness of your face receding a bit as you reaffirm your decision out loud
>"A man never breaks his word, AND I. AM. A. MAN."
>In time to these emphatic words you remove your boxers, handing them to a stunned Pinkie Pie before striding towards the door.
>"Wait!" Pinkie yells, quickly dumping some of the water from the jug on the fire to put it out before chasing after you, "Hey, I can't run very well in these things! Come back!"
>She's shuffling around, your pant legs trailing the ground again as she struggles to keep up
>"Hey! HEY! Either stop right now and put your clothes on or...or.....you'll have to carry me all the way to town!"
>You turn and look at her, her face puffed up a little as she looks at you almost indignantly before turning away when you turn to face her, averting her gaze out of politeness
 
>Pinkie looks almost surprised when you lift her onto your back, telling her to put her hooves around your neck gently as you grab her hind legs under your arms and start walking back
>"Y-you don't have to do this! I'm telling you, it's ok!" Pinkie persists, but soon enough she falls quiet as you continue your steady march towards town
>"......What am I going to do with you? You...stubborn....," she ends with a light laugh as she nuzzles her cheek to your head, making you smile despite how very naked you are
 
>As you approach town you take a moment to catch your breath. Carrying Pinkie the whole way back was exhausting, and you still have a small trek to go to the hotel
>Luckily the sun is setting and the light streets aren't on. If you're lucky, people won't really know what's going on until you're already past them
>Then again, you're the only human around, so it wouldn't be hard to figure out. But it's not like you're coming back to this town anyways.
>You realize you're overthinking it and begin to jog into town, Pinkie taking a deep breath as the first resident comes into view
>"Oh, I can't look!" She buries her face into the back of your head as you jog through town, smiling and practically waving to the resident ponies you come across. Might as well have fun with it, right?
>The residents just sort of wave awkwardly, a half smile on their faces as you pass.
>And in a moment of clarity it hits you: They don't know you normally wear clothes, or that being naked is wrong to you. Only the ponies closest to you know anything about your social taboos
>And with that, your embarrassing jog turns into a confident stroll through town.
 
>Eventually Pinkie realizes this too and starts waving at people from your back. Aside from the murmurs of "What is she WEARING?" the residents take it no worse
 
>You get back to the hotel and get back to your room, sweaty, tired, but with a weird happiness to your gait
>Pinkie is laughing and recounting how people looked at you when you gently toss her onto the bed, "Hey!"
>It's your part of the deal now, she has to help you warm up.
 
>"Alright, just help me get these things off first," Pinkie says, still giggling sporadically
>You decide to start with the pants that hang off her legs, slowly unbuttoning and unzipping the pants while Pinkie lays on her back, one hoof held over her chest while she playfully bites the other, her mane splayed out on the pressed sheets under her
>She gives a small "Ah!" when you finish unzipping the pants and slowly start pulling them down by the flapping pant legs, and giving a sigh of relief when they're finally off
>Somehow, when you weren't looking, she managed to get the boxers on under the pants.
>She's now lying on the bed biting a hoof, your T-shirt hanging off her a loosely, your boxers on her nether regions and your socks on her hind legs which are sticking into the air now, her legs spread apart
 
>You decide the shirt needs to go next
>And she teased you a bit back in the cabin, so you decide to tease her back this time
>"We can't take that shirt off if you're biting your hoof now, can we?" You say as you lean forward, gently pinning her front hooves to the bed, putting you face to face with Pinkie, her breath smelling of the hot chocolate from the cabin, warm and sweet
>It takes an immense amount of will to not kiss her right there, but somehow you manage, instead moving her hooves into an upright position and sliding your face to her stomach as you roll up the bottom of her shirt and give her belly a raspberry, loud and wet
>The effect is immediate, Pinkie laughing and squirming in place until you pin her front hooves to the bed again, continuing to torment her tender belly until she has problems breathing
>When she finally cries for mercy, you take the opportunity to slip the T-shirt off her quickly, her hooves limp as she breathes deeply, still laughing as you shift gears to focus on the socks
 
>You pull back a bit, putting your hands on the tip of her back left hoof, running both hands down either side of her leg until you reach the base of your sock, making sure to rub her thigh a little while your hands are down there, eliciting an "ooooh," from Pinkie
>You then move your hands up quickly, rolling the sock and pulling it off her foot before tossing it over your shoulder and moving to the next one
>The second one comes off like the first without problems, and all that's left are the boxers
 
>Pinkie's legs are spread, your blue and white striped boxers contrasting with her soft pink body
>There's something to be said about a pony in boxers, you think to yourself before you begin your work
>You run your hands down either leg, positioning your body between them as you let your hands roam a little, making sure to stay away from anything too sensitive but making sure to caress her chubby flank gently, teasing it with your fingertips and running circles on her cutie mark with your index finger
>Pinkie is squirming a little now, her breathing audible as you continue your massage of sorts
>You run your hands through the boxer legs until you can reach the waist band on either side before you lower your head to the top center of the boxers, giving a gentle kiss to Pinkie's belly before taking the waist band in your teeth and hands and pulling the boxers off quickly with your whole upper body
>You let the boxers hang in your mouth for a moment, arching an eyebrow suggestively which gets a laugh and a slow applause from Pinkie
>"I thought you said you wanted me to help you warm up, not the other way around, silly."
 
>"Well, let's solve that shall we?"
>Pinkie gives you a smile as you gently position her so she's lying fully on the bed, rolling her over so she's facing you as you slide into bed next to her
>You've hardly pulled the covers over the two of you when she wraps her hooves around your chest and nuzzles up to your neck, her soft mane and short fur stimulating your skin as you wrap your own arms around her, the two of you pulling each other tighter into your embrace
>You lie like that for a while before Pinkie breaks the silence
>"I can't believe you ran through town naked."
>You laugh together for a while, before calming down and looking into each others eyes as you relax
>Pinkie raises her head to yours and, very quickly, rubs her nose against yours before pulling back and kissing you on the nose and then resuming her cuddling position
>You give her a kiss on the forehead as you roll over and shut off the lamp on the nightstand, the two of you committing to sleeping, your naked bodies warming each other
>You could get used to this whole cuddling naked thing, you decide before you drift into gentle, peace fueled slumber
