>As you arrive at the station you decide to empty your inventory of all medical material except your trusty procreation pamphlet. >Then you scoop it back up when you realize what a grave mistake you made tossing it all. >You would staple it to your body, if you had one.   >You think about practicing your hand to hand skills on the train. >However, with ponies around you in such close quarters, that might be a poor idea. >Well, the word is built out of poor ideas, so you just say “fuck it”, and go for it anyway. >You end up gaining a basic understanding of the skill, but fall on your face. >This prompts you to stop.   [Basic hand to hand aquired! -3 HP]   >Once everybody has finished their preparations you all board the train. >The view is nice, and you were seated with all your friends as well. >As you ponder the shape of a passing cloud while Pinkie rambles on, you hear the door to your cabin open. >Pinkie rambles on insistently until Berry placed a hoof over her mouth, silencing the mare. >You turn your head to see Applejack standing in the doorway, looking towards you. >"Uh. Heya' Anon. Mind if ah have a word... In private?"     >Inventory: >Anon: Medical Pamphlet (First Aid), Medical. Pamphlet (Procreation), Medical Book (Diseases), Phone, Wallet. >Red: Pocket Knife, First Aid Kit. >Berry: Flask, Matches (4). >Pinkie: Various Sweets, Party Canon.     > "Sure. Let's talk." >You walk out of the cabin, turning and giving everybody a smile. >Berry gave a worried look, but your smile seemed to reassure her. >You follow AJ to an empty cabin, sitting across from her as you wait for her to speak. >Silence invades your eardrums as you both fidget in your seats. >You really don’t want to be the one to have to apologize; it would be a dent to your pride. >However, the more allies you have here, the better. >The fact that this is just means to an end helps you begin your apology. "Look, I'm sorry fo-" >"Look, ah'm sorry fo-" >You both halt your speech, and this time she speaks up. >"Ah'm sorry for how I acted. I should have let ya' say your peace. Just...ah'm just upset. Ya' know? I shouldn't have taken it out on ya'." "It's okay Applejack, I'm sorry about your brother. I swear, I had nothing to do with this. I even tried to help." >She seems a bit flustered at the mention of her brother, but she holds her tongue. >"Ah...yeah. Thanks." >She extends out a hoof, a symbol of peace between you two. >She gives a light smile as you take it, giving her a strong shake. >With that settled, you both depart back to your cabins. >As you settle down Pinkie and Red look at you curiously. >"What was that about, Nonny?"   >How do you respond?   >You contemplate reading the medical material again, but decide that you already know enough.   >The only other thing you can think of to do is unleash your alpha, and do some more flirting with Redheart. >After some back and forth conversation with the nurse, you feel the train hit the breaks. >Damn, and you were thinking of finding something to spar with, too.   >The various passengers file off of the train. You follow behind Redheart. >Just as you reach the front of the vehicle, an urge hits you. >You quickly swat the white mare across her ass. >A high pitch squeak of surprise escapes her mouth, and a tint of pink enters her face. >She turns her head and smirks at you, which you return. >You get off the train into the city of Canterlot.         >You and your group follow in two with Twilight and her friends. >Making a beeline straight for the castle, you marvel at it's size. >Once you approach you see Twilight speaking with a guard who in turn moves into the castle. >Twilight trots back to the group. >"It'll only be a moment." >Well, you might as well make conversation. >Your party was here, as well as the rest of Twilight's friends. >Plus Twilight herself of course.   >Who would you like to speak to?               "Oh nothing, just making friends." >Berry gives you a smirk while Red while Pinkie simply give you a few bright smiles. >You lean towards Red, ready to ask a few questions and maybe practice what you've read about. "So, nurse, could you teach me a few things about the profession?" >"Well, we don't have anything to really practice on, but I'll tell you a bit more you might not know!" "Okay sure. Lay it on me!" >You two discuss a bit about burns, and how to treat them. [Additional knowledge (Burns) acquired!]   >"I hope that answered a few of your questions Anon. You know I am always happy to help. >Oh, I know from last night you big booty bitch. >"What was that Anon?" >She is blushing madly, eyes darting across from her and back to you. >Oh shit, did you say that out loud? >You look towards Berry and Pinkie, thankfully they are lost in conversation and didn't hear you. >You clear your throat, making eye contact with Red. "I think you heard me, babe." >You chuckle a little. >Red simply leans back in her seat, though you do see a slight smirk out of your peripheral vision.             >You lean over and kiss Red, taking her by surprise. >"Nonny! Get a room!" >You break the kiss, causing Pinkie to giggle at your quick response to her statement. >As soon as your lips parted you hear an 'mmmmm' come from Berry's direction.   >You all chat, making small talk as you near Canterlot. >Red stands suddenly, catching your attention. >"Excuse me, I need to use the little fillies room." >As she walks out, Pinkie bounces after her. >"Me too!" >All you hear is a trail of Pinkie's blabber as they make their way to the bathroom. >With you and Berry alone, you decide to prod on her seduction skills. >"So, Berry, I want to seduce Redheart. A lot. Any pointers you can give a fella'?" >She takes a swig of her flask, leaning in towards you. >"I could. Would you like tips, or a more on hands approach?" >She runs a hoof lightly against your crotch, giggling at her own teasing ways. >"Well Anon. There isn't much to it. Be charming, but assertive. Don't be afraid to get rough either. Oh! And spank, a lot, A LOT. Oh and another thing..." >Berry might talk even more than Pinkie when sex is involved. >You wonder what would happen if you talked about alcohol?
