# Dig Your Own Hole

### Chapter 7

-Earlier-

“I should kick your flank,” Scootaloo glared at Dinky Hooves, seething with outrage at what she had just been told.

“I said I was sorry! I didn’t know you were there until I got to the stairway. I wasn’t trying to spy on you and Rainbow Dash. I just wanted to see what she would do when she thought she was alone.”

“That’s called spying!”

Dinky shrank back, blushing hotly but knowing she was stuck. After rushing back to the library to find Scootaloo and tell her about Apple Bloom running off upset, she knew she had to confess about her spying, and what she knew about Scootaloo and Dash.

“I wasn’t going to tell anypony! Apple Bloom cornered me at school and it slipped that I had spoken to you yesterday. She and Sweetie Belle didn’t know what you were doing and thought it was strange that I knew you wouldn’t be coming to school.”

“You could have lied!” Scootaloo yelled, her heart racing in her chest at the thought of her friends knowing what Dash was doing with her, worried sick at the thought of them getting her mentor in trouble if they told anypony else.

“Not if I wanted to be her friend!” Dinky shot back, catching Scootaloo momentarily off guard by the unexpected response.

“You? But you never talk to anypony in class. You don’t even play with anypony else during recess. Since when have you wanted to be friends?”

Dinky felt trapped, wishing she could turn invisible at that moment and simply disappear from the entire situation she had gotten herself into. “I’ve... always wanted to be friends with you guys. But I just… I don’t know how. It’s just hard for me, okay? I don’t really know how to make friends. I never thought I would need to. I have my mom and the princess and they make me happy. But then I saw you with Rainbow Dash and… I couldn’t stop thinking about you two, and how happy you both were. I… I got jealous!”

Scootaloo blinked, unsure how to respond to that confession. Dinky was looking everywhere but at her, shame weighing down her head. A scary thought crossed Scootaloo’s mind at that moment, “You… wait, you mean you’re interested in Rainbow Dash too?!”

“Eww no!” Dinky looked thoroughly grossed out at the mere idea of Scootaloo’s question. “It’s just as I said,” Dinky sighed, hating that she would have to explain herself bit by humiliating bit. “I’m jealous of how happy you are with Rainbow Dash. I want to feel the same way too. Not with her, but with somepony else who I care deeply for. I was never going to tell anypony what I saw. I—more than anypony else—know how awful it is to spread rumors.”

Dinky paused, taking a breath to finally confess her honest feelings, “If anything, it made me want to be friends with you even more, because I was hoping I could… learn from you. But I didn’t have the guts to approach you directly. Then Apple Bloom came to me and we started to talk a little… It was like I suddenly had an opening to make a friend for the first time since magic kindergarten. But I screwed it up and now I’ve upset her, and the thought of your friendship with her suddenly getting rocky because of me was too much guilt to handle.”

Scootaloo watched Dinky carefully, judging if what she was being told was true or not. Rainbow Dash’s words from earlier in the day came back to her at that moment:

What if I told you one of your classmates is learning how to be a big pony like you?

She didn’t know all the details, and it didn’t seem to her like Dinky was exactly a ‘big pony’ like she thought of herself. Rainbow Dash had taught her big ponies aren’t ashamed of what they like, and Dinky couldn’t be any more ashamed of herself at the moment.

“You’re jealous of me and Dash and what we got… because you want the same thing with Twilight?”

Dinky held her breath and her cheeks grew hot, a brighter shade of red rising up from under her grey coat.

“Well?” Scootaloo asked again, taking a step closer to the trembling filly.

“Yes.” Dinky licked her dry lips and spoke a little louder. “Yes, I want to be with Princess Twilight the same way you are with Rainbow Dash. I haven’t been able to stop thinking about and wondering, ‘Why can’t that be the two of us?’ She’s just so amazing! And beautiful! And smart! I mean, watching the way Rainbow Dash held you and spoke to you, the look she had in her eyes for you and just you… if that could be me and the princess… and she’s so smart… I bet she could teach me so much more.”

Dinky stopped once she noticed the look Scootaloo was giving her. But now all the cards were on the table, and Dinky felt better about it. In fact, she had been dying to tell somepony how she felt for her mentor, and the chance to finally do it left her feeling free, like a weight had been taken off her back.

Neither filly spoke after that, and the silence lingered in the empty library for a short time until Dinky broke it was a nervous laugh. “I’ve never said it out loud before. I want to be the princess’ special somepony. I can’t describe how wonderful it feels when she gives me a hug, or praises me, or wraps her wings around me…”

Scootaloo couldn’t hold back a small smirk at that statement. “Yeah, wing hugs are the best…”

“Totally.” Dinky smiled a little more.

Scootaloo started thinking of several things at once. If Rainbow Dash had in fact been talking about Dinky, how did she know? Did she want her to help Dinky? And did Twilight have any clue about Dinky’s crush?

Those questions would have to wait. If Apple Bloom had run off upset from what she now knew, the most important thing was to make sure she didn’t squeal about it to somepony who could get Dash into trouble.

“Alright, I’m still mad at you for spying on us, but we can’t deal with that now. We have to find Apple Bloom, talk to her, and make sure she doesn’t tell anypony about me and Dash.”

“We? You want me to go too?” Dinky asked, clearly not liking the idea of confronting Apple Bloom again. She didn’t think she had enough energy to cast her invisibility spell for a third time in one day.

“You have to come! If you’re honest about wanting to be friends, then you need to trot up and be a friend right now. Friends admit when they make a mistake and they ask for forgiveness.”

Dinky looked unsure, but knew in her heart that Scootaloo was right. She also knew if she turned back now, there would be no hope of achieving her desire to make friends, and Dinky didn’t think she could face the princess of friendship with that kind of cowardice hanging over her head.

“Alright… I’ll do it. But how do we even find Apple Bloom? I don’t know where she went, and she could still be under my invisibility spell. We would never be able to find her, even if we knew where to look.”

Scootaloo was already on the move, making Dinky rush to catch up with her as they exited the library. “I know where she’s at. There’s only one place she would go if she was really upset. I just hope that when we find her she doesn’t start screaming at me.”

-Present-

Apple Bloom screamed, flipping onto her stomach like a scared cat, her tail wrapping around her like a security blanket as she shrunk herself into the tiniest ball she could manage. Her eyes were shut tight, as if willing Scootaloo and Dinky not to be in the clubhouse to see just how she had been nearly hoof deep in herself.

Dinky nearly screamed as well, barely managing to hold it back with clenched teeth. In front of her, Scootaloo was wide-eyed, mouth hanging open as it took her brain some time to process what she had just seen her best friend doing. It had only been for a couple of seconds, but the sight of Apple Bloom on her back with her hind legs spread wide and inviting was not something Scootaloo would forget anytime soon.

“What the hay are you doing here?!” Apple Bloom yelled, her face hidden behind her fluffy red tail.

The outburst woke Scootaloo up. Despite how scared Dinky now was, Scootaloo was smiling rather big; suddenly the fear of Apple Bloom leaking out important information wasn’t so concerning anymore, “I didn’t know you like clopping in the clubhouse.”

Apple Bloom’s response was to whine loudly, still hiding her face. “Ah… wasn’t doin’ anythin’!”

“You were masturbating,” Dinky pointed out, the words coming out of her mouth before her brain could even register just how stupid she was to point out the obvious. Her observation earned her a chilling glare from Apple Bloom that made Dinky’s blood run cold.

“What is she doin’ here?! She ain’t even a crusader!”

Dinky’s ears pressed against her head as she stepped back, fear and shame all slamming into her like an unstoppable tide. A dozen different doubts in her heart all started shouting at her about how foolish she was to even attempt to befriend anypony. She would have run at that moment had Scootaloo not stepped in front of Dinky, shielding her from the death glare of her friend.

“Hold on, Apple Bloom! Dinky came to find me. She said you…”

Just as Scootaloo’s courage had started to gather up, it deflated at the thought of Apple Bloom’s angry glare being aimed at her. She almost chickened out, but knew she couldn’t. Dash wouldn’t want her to.

“She said she told you about me and Dash.”

Apple Bloom moved her tail away from her face, just enough to properly look at Scootaloo. “So it is true? You and Dash really are… doin’ that kind of stuff?”

Scootaloo didn’t hesitate, even as her heart raced in her chest. “Dash and I… we’re close. I always wanted her to be my real big sister, but now she’s more than that. And I love it!”

Apple Bloom gave Scootaloo a shocked look at the bold declaration. She noticed Dinky looked just as shocked. However, where Apple Bloom felt outrage, Dinky looked excited and eager to hear more.

“Love it? What’s to love? You’re a filly and she’s a mare! We ain’t suppose to be doin’ that kind of thing unless it’s with our special somepony. And we certainly have to be older, too!”

“Who says?” Scootaloo asked

“Wha? That’s… that’s just the rules!”

“Says who?” Scootaloo asked again. Before Apple Bloom could answer though, Scootaloo pushed through, walking up to Apple Bloom as she spoke. “I just said I loved it. I’m not hurt, I’m not acting any different than I normally do. What Dash and I do together, it’s the greatest! I mean, I’ve never felt so good in my life, like I’m melting on a cloud or floating on air. Sex is the best thing ever!”

“Is that why you’ve been ditching me and Sweetie?” Apple Bloom yelled, standing up to face Scootaloo eye to eye, making her friend flinch back. “Is sex better than your friends?”

Scootaloo didn’t respond right away. In the corner, Dinky wished she could leave. She was glad the attention wasn’t on her, but knew she couldn’t just leave in the middle of all this, not when it was her intention to not mess up Apple Bloom’s friendship with Scootaloo. “You don’t know what it’s like…”

She hadn’t spoken very loud, but it was enough to catch Apple Bloom’s attention. “Don’t tell me you’re havin’ sex with Rainbow Dash too!”

“Eww gross!” Dinky said, earning a glare from Scootaloo. “I haven’t had sex with anypony. But I know what Scootaloo is talking about. It’s not just about the sex, it’s about what happens at the end...”

“The end?” both Apple Bloom and Scootaloo asked. Neither filly seemed to understand what Dinky had meant, until it dawned on Scootaloo what came at the end of sex.

“Oh. I don’t know, getting to the end is pretty amazing too,” Scootaloo chuckled.

“What end?”

“An orgasm,” Dinky explained, “the physical and emotional sensation experienced at the peak of sexual excitement. Or the most intense feeling in the world. Or just… cumming.”

“Coming where?” Apple Bloom asked.

“Different kind of coming,” Scootaloo said, bringing Apple Bloom’s attention back to her. “And Dinky’s right. It’s… it’s hard to put into words just how awesome it is. It’s honestly kind of… addicting. I wasn’t ditching you and Sweetie because I didn’t want to hang out with you guys anymore. You’re my best friends, I would never want to stop seeing you guys. But I guess I was being shortsighted.”

“You were also lyin’ to us. You told us you were havin’ flyin’ lessons with Dash.”

“It wasn’t a total lie. I mean… it feels like I’m flying whenever Rainbow Dash makes me cum. It’s the greatest feeling in the world, and she’ll give me that feeling whenever I ask. It’s just… so awesome.”

“Come where? I still don’t get it!” Apple Bloom groaned, rubbing her hoof over her face in frustration.

“But weren’t you just trying to cum earlier, before Scootaloo and I came into your clubhouse?” Dinky asked.

“Yeah! You’re making it sound like you don’t even know what an orgasm is,” Scootaloo added.

Apple Bloom paused, recalling earlier and the position she had been in when the two fillies arrived. She also recalled all the other times she had that feeling between her hind legs, and how she could never understand what it meant or why it made her want to touch herself so much. If the end result was supposed to be as amazing as Scootaloo and Dinky made it out to be…

Then why does it feel so scary? Apple Bloom thought to herself.

“Ah don’t think ah’ve had one of those… orgasms before.” Apple Bloom finally admitted. “Up until now, I didn’t even know what one was.”

“Really?” Scootaloo’s eyes went wide in surprise, “But when we got here, you were clopping pretty hard.”

“Yah keep makin’ up words that ah swear mean somethin’ else…” Apple Bloom rolled her eyes. “Ah just… started doin’ that. Yah know…” she looked at Dinky again, and felt uncomfortable saying anymore.

Dinky’s ears flattened to her head, feeling that she was unwanted here. She couldn’t blame Apple Bloom though, this was an embarrassing thing to talk about with anypony, let alone somepony Apple Bloom didn’t yet consider a friend. She thought for a minute how Princess Twilight would handle a situation where she needed to make a connection and establish trust.

The answer was easy; trust came from sharing. “I started mas… er, clopping, just a couple of months ago,” Dinky admitted, “I didn’t understand it either at first. It started with a dream I had about the princess, about how she was testing my levitation magic. Dreams are supposed to be subconscious thoughts and feelings that manifest in our sleep… somewhere deep down, I wanted the princess to… have sex with me. And she did, a lot…”

Dinky was blushing brightly, recalling the way in which she remembered dreaming about Twilight taking advantage of her, touching her, praising her for being a squirter…

Scootaloo smirked, “Never would have thought an egghead like you could be so kinky.”

“You’re not the only one allowed to be kinky,” Dinky shot back, then turned to Apple Bloom, who looked more than a little unsure at the both of them. “After I woke up from that dream, I had this strange feeling, well, down there. It ached a lot, and when I went to touch it, my hoof was wet and slippery. After that I started rubbing, and it was weird at first, but it just got better and better. Like an itch, only it didn’t feel annoying or bad. Strange, a little scary too because… well… I was getting really wet, and I didn’t want to stop. I could… smell myself too. Then it happened.”

“What… what happened?” Apple Bloom asked, her cheeks showing just as much blush as Dinky’s after having listened to the filly list off all the things she had started feeling.

“I had my first orgasm,” Dinky said simply, though she spoke with a small smile. “I guess it wasn’t so scary at the end. In my dream, I had an orgasm, or two. I sorta had an idea of what would happen. It really was amazing. I had never felt so good before… even though I was a mess at the end.”

“How messy?” Scootaloo asked shamelessly. “Like, so wet it felt like you squirted?”

Dinky was taken aback by the question and almost didn’t answer, yet she couldn’t help but want to share, given how much she had already admitted. “Yes… at least it felt like that. I never watch it happen… most of the time I have to shut my eyes because it’s just so intense. But I do need to, um, lay on a towel if I ever want to… clop.”

Scootaloo laughed, but not in a mocking way. “Rainbow Dash says my right hind leg twitches when I cum. And I squirt too, so I know what a mess it can be. Totally worth it though, and Dash just loves it.”

“In my dreams, the princess always praises me when I do it…” Dinky admitted, feeling more and more open to talking about this. She was also smiling more too; there was a connection being made between her and the fillies she always wanted to be friends with.

“This all sounds crazy…” Apple Bloom sighed, sitting on the floor and looking unsure. The things Scootaloo and Dinky were talking about didn’t make sense and didn’t sound enjoyable at all. If anything, they sounded gross to her.

“It’s not,” Scootaloo said, sitting by Apple Bloom’s side, and grateful to see her friend didn’t try and move away from her. “It really is awesome, and for me, it’s awesome to do this with Rainbow Dash. It feels special, and she makes me feel special because it’s our own private secret. Well, it was a secret, at least.”

Dinky sat down on the floor as well, looking away as Scootaloo gave her a knowing look.

“But now you know—” Scootaloo continued, “—well, you and Dinky. Dinky says she won’t tell anypony else and I believe her, because she understands where I’m coming from. If she’s lucky, maybe Twilight will notice how she feels too. But, Apple Bloom, you have to promise me you won’t tell anypony else either.”

Apple Bloom turned to face Scootaloo, feeling her heart tighten up at what Scootaloo was asking of her. “Ah reckon that includes Sweetie, too? Yah want me to start keepin’ secrets from our best friend?”

Scootaloo looked unsure. She knew their track record for keeping secrets wasn’t the best, but she wasn’t sure she wanted Sweetie Belle to know something this important. Sweetie Belle was the most innocent of the group.

“She should know,” Dinky said, getting the attention of both fillies. “She is your best friend, after all. You should trust her. Besides, you’re the cutiemark crusaders, three of the most bestest friends in Ponyville. You guys are the model of what friendship can be. Something like this shouldn’t break up your friendship.”

That got Apple Bloom’s attention. The thought of not having Scootaloo as a friend anymore was terrifying. She could see in Scootaloo’s eyes, too, that the same thought was running through her head.

“Ah was just scared yah didn’t want to be our friend anymore,” Apple Bloom admitted.

“Of course I do! I shouldn’t have been staying away so much. I guess I should have trusted you guys more. But you have to admit, it would have been really awkward to just come to the clubhouse one day and tell you and Sweetie that Rainbow Dash and I scratch each other’s itch.”

“You’re goin’ to have to talk plain if yah expect me to keep up.”

“Okay, deal. So… you’re not mad or anything?”

Apple Bloom hesitated, taking in everything she had been told. It wasn’t long before she nodded her head and gave Scootaloo a hug. “Ah don’t understand everything, but ah reckon it’s not as important as knowing mah best friend is still mah best friend.”

Scootaloo hugged back tight, a big smile stretching across her face. “We’re best friends for life! Nothing is ever going to change that.”

In the corner of her eye, Scoots noticed Dinky looking happy for them both, but still kept her distance from the two.

Scootaloo wasn’t going to have any of that. “We owe you some thanks too, Dinky.”

“We do?” Apple Bloom asked, seeing Dinky look just as surprised as she felt.

“Totally. If not for her, you still wouldn’t know about me and Dash. I might not even be here right now, leaving you and Sweetie to keep guessing why I was away.”

Apple Bloom gave Scootaloo’s statement some thought, knowing she was right, but still not liking it. Even if things worked out the way Scootaloo said, it wasn’t because Dinky had meant for any of that to happen. The guilty look on the unicorn’s face confirmed as much to Apple Bloom.

Dinky could feel what Apple Bloom was thinking, but also knew that Scootaloo was giving her a chance to set things right. After confessing her feelings about her mentor, it didn’t feel as scary to be honest with a few other things too. “I don’t think you owe me anything. The princess of friendship might be my mentor, but I don’t really know anything about how to make friends, let alone being a good friend. I know it starts with trust, and that’s kind of hard for me to get with other ponies. That’s why I wanted to meet up with you after school, Apple Bloom. I wanted to know if I could trust you, and I know now that I can. You can trust me when I say I’ll keep Scootaloo’s secret to myself. I just hope I can earn your trust too, by being a good friend.”

It wasn’t what Apple Bloom expected to hear, but it made her smile a little, despite herself. She had to admit, based on her own experiences with her friends over time, that friends bring out the best in each other. She was willing to bet that they could bring out the best in Dinky with a little of the magic that is friendship.

“No hard feelings, then?” Dinky asked, reaching a hoof out to Apple Bloom.

“Ah guess not,” Apple Bloom said, bumping hooves with Dinky.

Scootaloo grinned big, happy that feelings were being mended and her secret would be safe with ponies she could trust. “If you really want to make it up to Apple Bloom, then you should turn her invisible again so she can finish clopping.”

It was a tease of course, but the comment brought fierce blushes to both Apple Bloom and Dinky. The young unicorn muttered something about not having the magic to cast that spell for the rest of the day, whereas Apple Bloom gave Scootaloo a gentle shove.

“Not likely. After you two walked in, ah don’t think ah’ll ever try that in the clubhouse again. Or ever, for that matter.”

“Don’t be like that,” Scootaloo said, smiling coyly at her fellow crusader, “you looked like you were enjoying it a lot. And if you’ve never cum before, then you really don’t know what you’re missing.”

Apple Bloom groaned, not wanting to remember how she was acting before Scootaloo and Dinky walked in on her in the clubhouse. She had never been that out of control with herself. Or that into what she was doing to herself.

“Well, the mood has kind of passed, honestly. In fact, ah think ah’ve been scared straight, thanks to you two.”

That didn’t sit well with Scootaloo. She turned to Dinky, thinking something over and giving the unicorn a serious look, before turning that look to Apple Bloom. “You still think clopping is something bad, even after what Dinky and I told you?” Scootaloo asked. The disappointment in her tone was impossible to miss. “Clopping is one of the best things ever, next to sex I mean. And me and Dinky will prove it to you.”

“Wh-what?” Apple Bloom looked shocked, turning to Dinky who looked almost frightened at what Scootaloo was saying.

“Just what I said. We’ll show you clopping is great. All you’ll have to do is watch. Dash and I do it all the time! Just sit back and watch me and Dinky clopping, and you’ll see just how awesome it really is.”

Crazy ideas were a common occurrence as a Cutiemark Crusader. Taking on the cape meant shouldering the knowledge that questionable and sometimes crazy things could and often did happen, all in the name of self discovery and finding one’s destiny in life. A noble cause to be sure.

As Apple Bloom lay on her back, sandwiched between Dinky Hooves and Scootaloo in the tiny second floor of the clubhouse, she wondered if this was the pinnacle of crazy.

She still hadn’t been sure how Scootaloo had talked her into it. Most if not all the ‘out-there’ ideas for crusading came from her, but this was not an attempt to get their cutiemarks. Even if it was, Apple Bloom couldn’t begin to imagine what kind cutiemark in touching herself would look like, and she had no desire to find out.

“Ah must have lost my marbles. Ah can’t believe ah’m doin’ this...” Apple Bloom sighed, staring at the ceiling purposefully. She didn’t think she could look either filly in the eye at that moment.

Her tail curled up to rest on her belly, hiding a part of her that she had never even thought about hiding until recently. To her left, Dinky did the same while chewing on her bottom lip. She was nervous, but willing, and Apple Bloom still couldn’t be sure why.

To right was a shameless Scootaloo, comfortably on her back with her hind legs open. One of her hooves was already rubbing slowly over her stomach as she too kept her eyes on the ceiling.

“Just relax,” Scootaloo said, taking a deep breath through her nose and releasing it slowly from her mouth. “We’ll follow the rules, go at our own pace, and enjoy ourselves.”

The rules were Apple Bloom’s suggest, and they were suggestions at best. They would not look at each other, they’d keep their hooves to themselves, and most importantly, they were sworn to absolute secrecy. Scootaloo could not tell Rainbow Dash a word of anything that would or would not happen in the clubhouse.

“It’s okay to be nervous,” Dinky added softly, hugging her tail in the same self-conscious manner as Apple Bloom, “You’re not the only one.”

How Dinky had agreed to this was still baffling to Apple Bloom. She had originally been just as against Scootaloo’s idea, only to be persuaded by the same argument from Scootaloo that Apple Bloom had, until that moment, never questioned: I’m your best friend, would I ever let you down?

What followed after were promises of pleasure, the likes of which Scootaloo assured Apple Bloom had been denying herself for too long for no good reason. For Dinky, she could be able to make a more personal connection than she could have ever hoped for. According to Scootaloo, she had nothing to lose and everything to gain. For all her booksmarts, Apple Bloom couldn’t help but feel that Dinky had little common sense when she finally agreed.

“We’ve done crazier things together,” Scootaloo pointed out, squirming on the floor to find a comfortable spot. “This time at least we won’t get covered in tree sap. So lets start already! Are you ready to go, Dinky?”

“Y-yes,” Dinky said, squeezing her tail to herself a little tighter, “I think so, at least.”

“Ready, Apply Bloom?”

“Ah can’t believe ah’m doin’ this…”

“Great, I’ll start us off then!” Scootaloo’s grin was as big as it could get as she jumped into the lead, closing her eyes and telling her friends to do the same.

“Okay, I’m going to tell you guys about my first time ever with Rainbow Dash, and how amazing and awesome it was. Remember, keep your eyes closed so you can picture everything I say!”

Apple Bloom considered backing out of the whole deal, but in the end submitted to closing her eyes along with Dinky. She understood Scootaloo wanting to help, but her feather-brain idea was too out there for her to accept. It would never work.

“It all began when Rainbow Dash saved my life, when I nearly fell off the waterfall during the camping trip with to Rainbow Falls. Well, not nearly, I did fall. I was swimming as hard as I could, flapping my wings just to keep my head above water. I was cold, colder than I ever felt before in my life.”

Apple Bloom opened her eyes at that. She turned to face Scootaloo, who still had her own eyes closed as she retold the story of the camping trip the crusaders took with their sisters. She knew about this story already, only not from Scootaloo’s point of view on how she very nearly died.

“When I fell off the edge,” Scootaloo continued, showing no signs of noticing Apple Bloom watching her, “All I could do was scream. I mean, I tried to scream. Water was getting in my mouth and up my nose. The sound of all that water crashing around me was louder than my screams for help. But she still heard me.”

Scootaloo paused and took a few deep breaths. Her front legs were resting on top of her stomach, her hind legs squeezed close together. Apple Bloom let her eyes drift between Scootaloo’s legs, watching as her best friend started to slowly rub her thighs together. It was not unlike the same thing Apple Bloom would do herself.

“I never saw her. One moment there’s all this icy water pushing me down, roaring in my ears. Then the next moment I’m being held by her, tight to her chest where I can hear her heart beating hard and strong. I can still hear it when I close my eyes and focus. I won’t forget what it sounds like when it’s beating that way, because when she fucks me, when I cum with her and we’re holding each other, her heart beats just like it did when she saved my life.”

By her side, Dinky gasped. Apple Bloom noticed how her eyes were shut tight, a small frown on her face. No doubt she was visualizing everything Scootaloo was saying. It seemed to Apple Bloom that Dinky was holding her tail even tighter now.

“It was a couple of days after the camping trip that I went to see Dash alone. I couldn’t forget how amazing it felt to be held by her. I wanted to thank her, I mean, really thank her. I didn’t care what it would take or what it would cost. When I told her I needed to talk to her, she flew me to her home, and the first thing she asked me was if I was still having nightmares. She thought that maybe her scary stories had really done a number on me, that I was still being a scaredy pony.

“That’s when I knew I wanted to be different in her eyes. I didn’t want her to see me all the time as a kid… as some pony that needed to be saved all the time or reassured about everything. So I told her just that. Well, I told her a lot of things. No matter what it would take, I wanted to be as strong, powerful, and awesome as her. I would do anything. I told her all that, and when I spilled my heart out to her, said three words to me that would change my life forever.”

It wasn’t until Scootaloo paused that Apple Bloom realized she had been holding her breath. What she was hearing was all new to her, and the way Scootaloo spoke about her confession left her impressed. She leaned a little closer, eager to hear Scootaloo continue her story.

“Close your eyes.”

Apple Bloom pulled her head back, thinking she had been caught. Scootaloo didn’t move, her eyes still closed. Even Dinky had been staying silent and still, clinging to her tail.

“I did, not knowing what was going to happen,” Scootaloo explained. “I closed my eyes and felt her take my head in her hooves, tilting my head up slowly. I didn’t know what she was doing at first. I knew she was getting closer because I could smell sweet rain water from her mane. A second later, and she was kissing me.”

Scootaloo paused again, letting out the tiniest of moans, recalling with perfect clarity how her first kiss went. She didn’t notice that Apple Bloom was watching her so intently, following her hooves as they started rubbing the inside her thighs.

“Her lips are the softest things ever. Softer than clouds. She kissed me really softly too, like she wasn’t sure how I would take it. But I wanted more. My heart was beating fast like my wings, and when she pulled away to look at me, I asked her not to stop. She didn’t, for a long time afterwards.”

Apple Bloom felt the heat rise to her cheeks as she watched Scootaloo’s hoof start to move higher up her thighs, until she was shamelessly rubbing over the gentle swell of her sex. There was no looking away from the display of her best friend rubbing herself in the same curious way that Apple Bloom had come to mistrust so much. Unlike herself, there was no hesitation in Scootaloo, only happy murmurs and a growing smile.

“What happened next?” Dinky spoke up, keeping her eyes closed. Apple Bloom noticed the unicorn was trembling a little, as if she were cold, until she noticed Dinky’s hips were squirming. The way Dinky held her tail to her, it suddenly seemed as if Dinky was pressing herself against that tail, even starting to grind on it.

Is she… rubbin’ up on her own tail? Ah didn’t even know a pony could do that.

It was impossible for Apple Bloom not to feel a tingle travel down her spine at the sight of Scootaloo and Dinky. That small tingle lingered and began to grow, bringing the same kind of excitement that Apple Bloom often got when seeing her friends do something fun and wanting very much to join in with them.

At the moment, her hoof was all for joining in on the fun, and it was getting harder to hold it back.

“After she kissed me… Mmmmm,” Scootaloo started again, though it looked to Apple Bloom like she was having to really focus on her story. Her hoof moved at a slow pace, met with the eager thrusts of her hips as she shamelessly clopped, perhaps even knowing that Apple Bloom was watching her. “Actually, I’ll tell the rest after Dinky shares one of her dreams with us.”

“M-my dreams? Oh…”

Apple Bloom tore her attention away from Scootaloo to Dinky, seeing that she had stopped rubbing up on her tail, but kept her eyes closed. It dawned on Apple Bloom that if Dinky couldn’t see what she and Scootaloo were doing, it might have felt to her like being invisible. It certainly explained why Dinky was even going this far with them, and why she was still willing to go further.

“I… I had a dream once, with the princess and me, in the library…”

The excitement in Apple Bloom’s body was getting hotter, happening faster than normal either because her friends were clopping at her side or because her own clopping had been cut short. As Dinky started her story, Apple Bloom leaned back, accepting what was going to happen, and letting her hoof reach down to stroke over her hind legs as she had seen Scootaloo do to herself.

“I was balancing books with my magic… doing levitation practices. They were thick books, and heavy, and I was starting to sweat from the strain. I was about to let them drop, when the princess came up beside me. It was just the two of us, and she started... rubbing her wing tip over my back, petting me like a kitty. She was telling me I was doing good, and to keep it up for ten seconds more.”

Dinky paused, and though Apple Bloom was laying back down, she had her head turned to Dinky, watching the little unicorn’s blush grow brighter on her face. The story so far had sounded very tame compared to Scootaloo’s, but she could see that for Dinky at least, it was taking major effort for her to go through with this story.

“I could tell… just from the tone of her voice, and the smile on her face, that she was going to reward me if I did good. She kept petting my back, and the tips of her wings would slide down all the way… all the way to my flank. My horn was getting hot, and I tried to keep the stack of books steady. She was counting down, but when she did… she rubbed her wing tips in circles over me… where my cutiemark would be. Every rotation was a slow second. I couldn’t turn my head to look at her, but I could feel her eyes on me, and her magic, lifting my tail up.”

Beside Apple Bloom, Scootaloo made a small groan. She was rubbing still, spreading wetness over herself that matted down her fur. Turning back to Dinky, Apple Bloom saw her she smile more as she continued her story.

“I knew what she was doing, but I kept going. I wanted to make her proud. I kept up my magic, fighting through the heat in my horn and the throbbing in my head. I was throbbing… kind of everywhere at that point… and when the princess counted down to ten, I dropped my books. My magic stopped, and my horn felt like it was buzzing. I sorta collapsed… sorta. My front legs and my head where down on the floor… but the princess… she was holding me up by my rear.”

“Face down, ass up?” Scootaloo asked, bringing to mind a clear picture of that very position for Dinky in Apple Bloom’s mind, but with Dinky’s bashful face looking back behind her, shyly offering herself up. The perverted imagery made Apple Bloom’s hoove move higher up, where it needed to be, though she was still holding back from rubbing herself like Scootaloo was doing.

“Y-yes. She praised me… said I was the best student she could hope for… and she started kissing me…”

“Where?” Scootaloo demanded, a little roughness in her tone as her hoof moved a little faster.

“My plot,” Dinky spoke breathlessly, with a little thrust of her hips as she started to grind on her tail once again. “The princess… in my dreams… she really likes it back there… she said I deserved a special reward because… because I was studying while in heat. She said I was already wet and… winking, back there. I felt her kisses, one after the other, leading down to where she said I was dripping on her floor. I could feel her hot breath on me. I couldn’t move, I didn’t want to move, I wanted her to keep going and not stop and to press her lips harder on me and kisssssss!”

Dinky tensed up, her eyes squeezing tight. Apple Bloom hadn’t noticed right away, but Dinky had placed her hoof over herself, above the base of her tail.

“Did you just cum?” Scootaloo asked, breathing a little heavy next to Apple Bloom. The farm filly suddenly became very aware of how excited Scootaloo and Dinky were, and how she felt herself catching up. She hadn’t even noticed when her own hoof moved to start rubbing directly over her puffy sex, and how it felt like she couldn’t pull it back this time.

“N-no, I think I rubbed too much on my clit.”

“Feeling good over there, Apple Bloom?” Scootaloo asked with a giggle in her voice.

If Scootaloo had been expecting a snarky comment back, she was disappointed by the distracted tone of Apple Bloom’s voice. “Kinda… a little…”

Apple Bloom saw Scootaloo smile more at that as she got into a steady rhythm of rubbing and grinding on her hoof. “Me too… tell us what happened next, Dinky.”

“The dream got fuzzy after that. The princess was kissing me a lot… I could hear each kiss, but they felt so strong, like shocks…” Dinky paused again, needing to catch her breath. Apple Bloom watched as Dinky had gone from shyly touching herself to full on rubbing under her tail in small, quick circles. Whereas Scootaloo was being rougher with herself, making occasional soft grunts, Dinky was moving fast and beginning to whimper from the relentless attention of her fantasy-fueled hoof. Apple Bloom wasn’t sure who to mimic, settling for speeding her own hoof up a little more from it’s slow exploring touches, and applying more pressure around the swelling numb she had discovered earlier.

Her efforts were rewarded with more wetness clinging to her hoof. She could see she wasn’t the only one getting wet.

“She was saying things to me. Or at me. It’s hard to remember now, but it felt like she was saying… dirty things. I remember feeling shocked at first, but if the princess was saying those things, they had to be true. It’s hard to remember much after that.”

Dinky was panting at this point. Apple Bloom felt her heart race to see the filly look the same way she had felt during all those times alone when she would touch herself and wonder why it felt so good. Seeing that she wasn’t the only one who could be swept up in pleasure made her not want to stop. In fact, stopping herself had been the last thing on Apple Bloom’s mind.

“That sounds hot. Dash loves talking dirty with me,” Scootaloo added.

“What happened after Dash started kissin’ you?” Apple Bloom asked as she finally closed her eyes, being better able to picture herself in Dinky’s position. It wasn’t Twilight she imagined planting shock-kisses on her flank though. That role was instead filled by Dinky herself, with Scootaloo watching the both them, ready to tell the rest of her story with a smug look on her face, sitting with her hind legs spread well apart for Apple Bloom

The mental image made Apple Bloom moan for her friends.

Scootaloo was happy to jump right in, “After she kissed me all over, I started kissing her back. I got to find a spot on her throat that makes her giggle when I kiss it, just under the right side of her jaw. I nuzzled her chest, where she’s really soft, and kissed my way down her tummy. I could feel her hooves on my head, guiding me down lower and lower, until I was between her thighs.”

As Scootaloo spoke, Apple Bloom imagined it all happening to to her. Rainbow Dash was replaced by Scoots in her mind, kissing from her throat down her chest and stomach until she was staring at the slick, winking sex of her best friend, seeing how it had opened up for her, how swollen her clit had gotten, dripping with juices that caused Apple Bloom to take a deep, longing breath.

“I didn’t wait for her to tell me what I already knew I needed to do. I kissed all over Dash’s pussy, just like Twilight must have kissed over yours, Dinky.”

Dinky’s only response was to whimper louder. Apple Bloom kept her eyes closed, but she could imagine the unicorn filly rubbing herself faster, and her wanting to catch up.

“I couldn’t stop. Dash… she tastes so good. And she was moaning really loud, in a way I didn’t know she could moan. I was totally in control of her. If I kissed hard enough, she trembled. And if I was too gentle, she’d tell me to go faster, harder, but she would always sound out of breath. I wasn’t the little filly that needed to depend on her for help anymore. She was depending on me… calling out for my name…”

Apple Bloom waited to hear more, but all she heard was Scootaloo’s heavy breathing mixed with Dinky’s whimpers. She couldn’t be sure if the heavy breathing and whimpering was actually coming from her.

“Guys… I think I’m getting close,” Scootaloo warned as she started to grunt from applying even more pressure to herself. Apple Bloom could picture Scoot’s hoof thoroughly soaked, fetlocks matted around her hoof, a small puddle on the floor under her.

“M-me too... “ Dinky was squeaking now, just like Sweetie Belle often did whenever she got super excited for anything. In her mind, Scootaloo was replaced with Dinky, hugging her tail with one leg while her hoof stayed busy, rubbing is fast circles under hips that rocked with eagerness.

The mental image changed again. Suddenly it was Apple Bloom seeing herself, hugging her tail and rubbing herself fast. She became the one whimpering, making a puddle on the floor and unable, unwilling, to stop herself. The fear that always seemed to creep up whenever she let the pleasure take this much control over her wasn’t being felt this time. With her friends at her side equally as helpless as she was, Apple Bloom didn’t want to stop. She was coming to the edge of an abyss that had always scared her before, but as Scootaloo and Dinky edged closer with her, the fear of jumping in and being swallowed by the sensations burning inside her were gone.

Her body seemed to understand; it can only get better.

If Scootaloo or Dinky said anything to her, Apple Bloom didn’t hear them. Her body seized up without warning as she mentally made the jump into an abyss of raw pleasure that made her see an explosion of color behind her eyelids. She was aware of her body moving, her hips bucking into the air. Every hair of her yellow coat became five times as sensitive to touch, making the simple act of laying on the floor too much to handle. She was falling forever, but forever was only as long as it took to hear her name being called.

Apple Bloom opened her eyes, spilling tears she didn’t know she had. She couldn’t move without feeling like she wanted to laugh. Her limbs felt heavy as lead, a slight chill coming over her, letting her know she was coated in sweat. She was vaguely aware of drooling on herself.

Next to her, Dinky was curled up, catching her breath. Her hoof had stopped, and she looked as if she were ready to sleep. Scootaloo was resting with a leg behind her head, and her messy hoof being licked clean. She turned to Apple Bloom with a lazy, content smile. “Does it feel like you were flying?”

Apple Bloom licked her dry lips, smiling slowly back at Scootaloo, but needing time before she felt like she could speak, “It felt like I was falling. Falling into a hole that never ended, and it was awesome.”
