>Day If You Ignore It, It Isn't Happening. In Equestria. >Get up. >Ignore previously getting up due to the unholy liaison between best friend and enemy chuckling outside. >Time Turner is not within your domicile. >The house is too quiet. >Shower. >She's planning something. >Or maybe she stole the keys from him. >Stop being paranoid. >Shampoo Mohawk. >Rinse, Lather, Repeat. >Hum something. >Mario Bros Theme? >You miss video games. >Dry off. >Get dressed. >Make breakfast. >Eat breakfast. >It's still dark out. >Something is happening. >Your mind runs through a few key scenarios you probably saw in movies. >Time Turner in a head cage and Fluttershy asking if you'd like to play a game. >Time Turner getting stabbed frequently in the chest while Fluttershy chants your name. >Time Turner in a bathtub full of ice missing his kidneys. >You hate your old human roommate for enjoying movies above the PG-13 rating. >Only the nightmare fuel moments linger with you. "Hey...y-you guys here?" >No response. >It's not like they could be hiding in here. >You're just spazzing out because you know something bad is going to happen. >But if you lose your cool she wins. >And you can't let her win. >Because you were doing so good man. >So damn good.   >Go to work. >Arrive early. >Mayor Mare trots up early as well. >Walk-and-talk. >"How's life going eight-oh-eight?" "G-good sir." >You go to the break room and start a pot of coffee. >Saves bits. >Mayor Mare lingers at the water cooler. >You lean against the counter while the coffee begins to drip. >She sips some water. >"So...how're 'things'?" "Uhm..Pr-pretty good." >You look around the break room. >The coffee is dripping into the coffee pot. >She scrunches her face a little. >"I've been good too." "Oh! S-sorry sir, h-how're you doing?" >She smiles and nods. >"Thank you for asking, eight-oh-eight, I'm doing quite well. Been looking at your spreadsheet ideas for better time management and some possible re-election polls--" "Don't you run unopposed." >She laughs. >"Well yes, but someday I might not and I think you might just be my secret weapon." "...I didn't propose anything y-you shouldn't be doing already." >The coffee is taking forever. >You swallow a little saliva. "And did you get those out of my desk?" >"Well yes, eight-oh-eight, I did. I apologize for not asking but I was working late and well you know." "Know what?" >"How one might get a little peckish and maybe just maybe you might have a candy bar or--" >Minuette is standing in the door frame of the break room carrying the box of donuts. >"I KNEW IT. Mayor Mare, stop going through my desk for gum." >Mayor Mare blushes a little. >"It's only when I'm working late!" >"Y'know for the longest time I thought it was this jackhole!" >Minuette sets the box on the counter and then elbows you in the crotch. >"Been giving him shit for that." "O-ow...I t-thought you hated me because of the t-timetable thing." >Minuette considers this and elbows you in the crotch again. >"Well that didn't help, eight-oh-eight." >Mayor Mare laughs. >Coffee is done.   >Work goes on without a hitch. >You finish everything within the first few hours. >Try your hand at remembering how to draw Dilbert. >You don't remember his head being that weird. >Get bored. >Doodle up some tie designs. >You make one of the ties eat the other ties. >Feel the cold hard stare of a superior boring a hole through your body. >"I didn't get to finish talking to you, but I have a spare minute. If you'd come to my office." >Mayor Mare is already walking back to her door when you turn your head. >Well you aren't getting fired. >That's a negative outlook. >You're the best worker here. >She probably wants to give you a raise. >Though she might not have the ability to do so. >Plus that wouldn't fit in the budget logistically. >Maybe a bonus. >Company...carriage? >Heck, maybe you'll finally be getting something with walls instead of just a desk. >You go into her office and it's as opposing and utilitarian as always. >She's got a big smile on her face. >And big ol'stack of papers on her desk. >Don't freak out--not that you would--this can only be good. >"I have some bad news." >FUCK EVERYTHING. >ABORT. >You start to tremble. >"You'll need to pack up your things." >You can't feel your heart beat anymore. >OH GOD. >YOU KILLED YOURSELF >...Wait no, no you didn't. >Though you're clutching your chest. >Wrong side too, dumbass. >"Because you're getting a new desk with a file cabinet in it!" "HAHAH YAY! That's...th-that's great." >She coughs. >"I forgot you're...really bad with jokes." >Try not to act like a spaz and what happens? >This happens. "S-sorry sir. Just uh...rough night." >"I thought you went bowling?" "I d-did--not tell you about t-that. How do you know about that?' >She giggles a little. >"Word gets around, -casanova-."   >Mayor Mare winks at you. >It makes you feel all nervous and wrong. "...Did Derpy tell you?" >She shakes her head. "The school teacher?" >Nope. "Time Turner?" >Negatory. "Please tell me it wasn't Fluttershy." >"Well it wasn't Fluttershy...why was she bowling too?" "Among other things, sir." >Mayor Mare waves a hoof to dismiss the whole issue. >"Regardless, pack up your stuff tonight and put it in the storage closet. You'll have a new desk by tomorrow." "B-but sir I didn't requisition one...I d-didn't even do the paperwork." >She puts a hoof to her forehead. >Maybe you're aggravating her. >"I realize that. I put it forward. You're very productive and you need more room for a potentially large workload. When my re-election campaign kicks up in a few months I'd like you to assist me as a..." >She takes a breath. >"Campaign manager." >BE STILL YOUR ACHING HEART! >YOU PUT IN THE HOURS! >YOU GET WHAT YOU DESERVE! >BIG SMILE. >SLICK THAT HAIR BACK. >You straighten your shirt. "Why thank y-yo---Why thank you sir. It is an honor to even be considered." >"It'll be a lot of work for a minor financial sum...long hours. We'll be spending a lot of time together." >She winks again. >You quirk a brow. >"You didn't...freak out." >You take a breath. "Well sir, this isn't my first campaign. Trust me...I'll f-freak out plenty when I'm trying to manage it." >She laughs at this. >"Good, you're dismissed." >You walk to the door and then stop. "Wait...so who told you I went bowling?" >"Oh, Minuette did." "...how does she know?" >Mayor Mare just grins. >"Ask her yourself, Mister Manager."   >You walk over to Minuette's desk. >She's typing on her typewriter. Two keys. >Somehow making complete words. >She looks at you over her shoulder and then spins herself around and leans on the back of the chair. >Her horn glows. >The typing continues. >"What." "...f-firstly if you c-can do that why--How do you know I went bowling?" >Minuette shrugs. >"Seems like something a loser would do." >She grins. >You frown. "You're a cl-class act, you know that?" >She rolls her eyes. "But seriously, how do you know?" >"Uh, I have a social life?" >She changes out papers on the typewriter without using her hooves. >Or breaking eye contact. "Did fl-Fluttershy put you up to this?" >She bursts out into laughter. >Like what you just said was hilarious. >Rather than possibly terrifying. >"Nah, yellowquiet isn't exactly one of my galpals." >Yellowquiet? >Nicknames are weird. >Then again, you're Moose. >Go figure. "So..." >"I was the one watching Little Miss Dink." >Well now you sort of feel like a jerk. "O-oh...Well t-thanks for that, I mean I know you and I d-don't really get along but--" >"Cram it, eight-oh-eight. She's my neighbor. We do this shit all the time." >Somehow this information doesn't make you feel as good as it should. >"You gonna keep staring at my pretty face or can I get back to work?" >She watches your girlfriend's kid when you're goofing around with her. >You should probably be nicer to her. >Even though she hates you for things that are not your fault. "M-maybe I can help you out?" >"How's that?" "Y-you got any extra work...or leftover work? S-since I'm not picking up the slack anymore." >"You gonna rat me out to the Mayor?" "As long as it gets done she shouldn't really care." >"Then why is this even an issue to begin with?" >She stops typing with magic and opens a drawer. >She levitates out a big blue folder. >"You wanna get off the shit list, I could use a second set of eyes and work on this." >It floats over to you, just out of reach. >You reach for it and she stops the magic act. >It's heavy. >"Taxes and some other...well you'll see. Don't screw it up or you'll never get laid." >You blush. >"She wants me to watch the kid this weekend. Spoiler alert. Get to work or I'll need to shampoo my mane."   >You skip your lunchbreak to work. >Haven't done that in a long while. >Pack up most of your own paperwork for the eventual desk replacement. >Look over some of the blue folder. >Earnings reports by city ward. >Census data--well that'll be inaccurate. >Water usage and other minutia. >Minuette's taxes, which she has done none of the filing work for. >Some other mares and stallions taxes that require a once over. >A Miss Bon Bon, Cheerilee, Lyra Heartstrings... >Twilight Sparkle--wow she's rich, Rarity---not so much. >Applejack--she can write off a lot of these things. >You get the feeling that Minuette probably offers to do people's taxes for cash and lets them get lost in the bureacratic wheels. >Fuck it, you were a double major. >In the lamest subjects. >Crack-a-lackin' taxes. Aww yeah. >...You're not lame. You have a girlfriend. >Just never say these things out loud. >Because she will leave you. >Because that was -lame-. >Finish up the bulk of the work before leaving. >Still have the shirt-stealing Miss Sparkle and the rest of the folder to deal with. >You flip through the remaining pages as you get ready to go. >You've got Fluttershy's taxes. >It's a voyeuristic sort of grin that crawls across your face. >The ideal blackmail material in case she ever-- >Holy crap. >You look the page over again. >Well she said she was a model but seriously. >She's got so many dependants listed. >Angel Bunny, Mr.McBiteypants, Hippolyna...the list goes on. >Curious. >Put your stuff in the closet but keep the folder with you. >Stop by Minuette's desk before leaving. "Hey, I got most of this done." >"...Seriously?' "Yeah, took me like four hours." >"Don't you have work to do here?" "I f-finished it before lunch." >"...You've gotta be screwing with me." >You hand her off about a fifth of the folder. "G-glad I could help...gonna finish it tonight." >Minuette shrugs and smiles. >"Be my guest, eight-oh-eight."   >Head home. >Today wasn't a bad day. >Got a sort of promotion. >Big responsibility. >Learned the wheel you've got to grease to bang your girlfriend. >...bang your girlfriend. >That's not how you talk. >Make sweet love down by the fi--No. >...You haven't even really considered the logistics of it yet either. >She's a flying horse. >You're a human. >Disregarding so many other possible issues, this could be painful. >And you've never really had sex. >From a non-being-raped perspective. >What if you freak out during it? >What if it reminds you of Fluttershy doing all those terrible things to you. >Unlock the front door. >Open it. >So that's what Time Turner's penis looks like. >You WERE NOT CURIOUS IN THE SLIGHTEST. >Oh god it's like a glistening black eel. >Oh god why is this even a thing. >Fluttershy's just rubbing all of her hooves on it. >You drop your folder and just contort your face in horror. >ON YOUR FUTON! >WHICH YOU SHARED WITH HIM LIKE A BROTHER. >WHY...why did you expect anything different. >He snaps out of the zone. >He sees you. >He locks eyes with you. >Time Turner then looks at Fluttershy. >She looks at him. >And then she looks at you. >"W-w-wanna j-join in m-mister? I've got f-free w-wings." >Time Turner shakes his head and pushes her aside. >He goes into the bathroom. >Awkward seconds pass. >Fluttershy holds up your sheets, blushing at you. >"..h-how was work?" >A minute passes. >"...s-see I c-can be nice in a commited r-relationship...if you t-thought I couldn't be." >Another passes. >"I mean...you're off--I can kiss better than her mister, I'm sure of it! Ask Time Turner!" >Time Turner exits the bathroom. >His head is soaked. >"Don't go in there yet, Moose. I've got to...mop up." "Did...did...did..d-d-did not need to KNOW or EVER SEE THAT!" >He blushes and clears his voice. >"Flutterbabe, go wait outside." >She looks at you. >"Uhm...b-bu--" >"And don't stutter." >She forces a smile and flies past you. >She licks your cheek as she exits. >You pick up your shit, slam the door and lock it. >"Pretty great, am I right?"   "NO. NO DUDE, this is the o-opposite of g-g-great!" >He sputters and looks like Rodney Dangerfield as a horse. >You know that expression. >"...okay so I know you didn't wanna walk in on that." >You blink and you can still see it. >Oh god, that's gonna replace some of the body horror nightmares of R-rated movies. >And it'll be worse than seeing Freddy Krueger when you were little. >"Moose, just hear me out." >You don't want to hear him out. >You want to punch him. >And you know it'll hurt your hand. >"I'm taking your silence for an okay to go on." >You can feel your eye twitch. >"Okay! So. Here's the plan. Fluttershy wants you. Something -bad- buddy. And she thinks that if she gives me a buncha hoof jobs and money and shows up around here with me, you'll come running back to her." >You can feel the twitch overtake most of your face. >Are you having a stroke? >Possibly. >"---so I get a tug job, free money, and she only shows up when I tell her too. You can set your watch on it, Moose! I already have." >He winks. >Goodness look at the time. >It's puke-o-clock. >All over the carpet. >"Is that because you saw my dick?" >And you stained your shirt. >It's that didn't eat much puke. >Very painful. >"I told you you couldn't handle it. I mean, I was joking. But that had to be bigger than one of your arm--" "S-STOP TALKING." >You take a breath. "Just...stop talking." >You go over to the kitchenette and sit at the table. >Set the file down on the table. >"Do you want me to...like, leave or something buddy?" >No. You don't. >You want to punch him. >You're not used to this feeling. "No. Just...go clean up your mess. Burn the sheets." >"Burn the sheets? That's sort of dramatic, don't you think?" >You just look at him. >He winces. >"Y-yeah...sorry buddy, didn't mean for you to see it like this." "Well it happened." >You look back at the futon. >You can still see it happening. "I'm going to see if Derpy will let me crash on her couch...I can't deal with this right now."   >You change your clothing. >You don't go in the bathroom. >Wash your face in the kitchenette sink. >Put on a coat. >Grab your file. >Step outside. >Fluttershy is reclining on the bushes, looking quite pleased with herself. >"S-so mister...r-ready to come crawling back to Momma?" "I'm leaving." >She shoots up and grabs the shoulders of your jacket. >"Where?! WHY!? I'm s-sorry Anonymous I j-just...c-can I come with you?" "No. G-Good Heavens lady, I'm going to my girlfriend's house." >"...to f-f-fuck her?" "No. Wow. No. Just...n-no. You know what? Fluttershy." >You push her away and take a step back. "You just have a great night with Time Turner." >She whimpers. "B-because if there's one thing w-we both know. That's not a f-functional relationship. It's built on barely a day and you-you're already d-doing terrible things." >She looks down at the ground. >You feel a strength in you. "And s-since we're -so- much -alike-, we b-both know you'll k-keep at it until you finally snap." >She looks you in the eye. >"See...y-you know me s-so well..we'd be so h-h-happy, mister." "Fluttershy." >You take a breath. No stutters. No spaz. "The only thing that'll make me happy, is never seeing you again." >You feel a smile. "Maybe that's what I'm into. Maybe you could do that for me." >She smiles small and then narrows her gaze. >"That's never going to happen mister. You'll find another way to love me." "Agree to disagree. And good-bye." >You depart your doorstep. >Off into the wild world of half-way across town to where Derpy lives. >You really should've called first.   >Dinky greats you at the door. >"Hi Mr. Moose!" "Hey Dinky, how's life?" >"Pretty good. I made some pictures in class today. And I wrote a sonnet." >That's pretty advanced for grade school. >The sonnet part. "What'd you draw?" >"A baryonx." "A what?" >"It's a dinomasaur." >Well. Learn something new everyday. >Like apparently this place had dinosaurs too. "Is your mom home?" >She looks over her backside and shouts into the rest of the house. >"HEY MOM IT'S MR.MOOSE AND HE'S GOT A BIG BLUE THING AND HE WANTS TO KNOW IF YOU'RE HERE!" >A shouting house. >You can relate. >Never got to shout much. >You can hear Derpy saying something and then she sticks her head out of a backroom. >"I'll BE OUT IN A MINU--HI MOOSE!" "H-hi Derpy." >Dinky looks up at you and clicks her tongue. >You click your tongue to shave and a hair cut. >She clicks hers to two-bits. >She giggles. "I g-got a promotion today." >She gasps. >"Did somepony lose their job?" "Oh...no. I m-mean...I don't think so." >"How come you smell like throw-up?" "I ate some bad guacamole." >"Guacamole?" "Gwah-co-moe-lay." >"Gwah-co-moe-lay." >She giggles again. >"That's a weird word. Can you spell it?" "Nope." >"I can probably spell it. I'm going to be in the spelling bee!" "That's great Dinky. Do you want help practicing?" >"But you can't even spell guacamole." >You nod a little. That's some logical thinking. "Well I can give it a shot or...flashcards?" >Derpy trots out of her room and greets you at the door with a smile. >Dinky cuddles up against her. >"What's happening Moose?" "Uhm...it's a roommate issue." >Derpy giggles. >"Do you need to camp out here, Moose?" "That'd be great." >Dinky and Derpy share a big grin. >And in unison they shout. >"SLUMBER PARTY!" >Dinky tilts her head. >"Wait, I have school tomorrow." >And once again in unison. >"SLUMBER PARTY but then GOING TO BED EARLY!" >You do a little fist pump. "Y-yeah!"   >You play some boardgames with the Hooves clan. >Derpy likes the pony-equivalent of Trouble. >Because she gets to push the button in the middle. >And she makes a goofy noise whenever she does it. >Dinky finds this delightful. >And eventually she is put to bed. >You get comfortable on the couch. >Derpy flies up and flops down on you. >Bubbly-you-will-never-learn-how-to-mack properly make-out session. >Aww yeah. >"Hey Moose...I was wondering if maybe you wanted to spend the weekend over here." >Oh right. >"Because..." >She wipes a drool trail from her lips off your face with a hoof and gives you those off-kilter bedroom eyes. >"We're dating and...it's been awhile--wait no, no not like that just uhm...uh...poop." >She lays her head on your chest. >This your chance to be supportive. >Prove your worth. >Make a move. >You stroke her chin and plant a kiss on her forehead. "Uhm..i-if y-you think I'm ready, then...s-s-sure." >She has such a soft smile, it warms your heart. "I'm just...I've never done this before." >She puts her hooves to her cheeks. >And she grins. >She's not shocked that you're essentially a damaged goods virgin. >Woo. Hoo. >She flutters up and flops her butt to your face. >She scooches a little and presents her butthole and vagina. >It's an...awkward angle. >"It's real easy...just put your tongue in it and...uhm, well it's like talking but don't talk." >Well this is an escalation. "D-d-Don't talk." >"Oh! And don't blow it in Moose, that's wicked bad." "Uhm..." >"Just for pr-practice Moose." >You grab her haunches. >You lean forward. >And you stick your tongue inbetween those folds. >And it feels...weird. >"PBBLLT" >You recoil immediately, your face contorted in horror. >Derpy is laughing. >"I did that with my mouth!" "Y-you j-jerk!" >She giggles and flutters back around. >She pins you down and plants a kiss on your forehead. >"But it was funny, right Moose." >You deadpan. "I'm laughing my pants off." >She blushes, caught off-guard by that. >You blush too, realizing what's been implied. >Spend the rest of the night snuggling. >She sleeps on top of you on the couch. >And you sleep a good long time. >Without any interference >from Fucking Fluttershy.
