Lovely Rarity

Part 7

We carefully and thoughtfully explained everything to Vinyl as we sat and drank cool lemonade.

"So…" the unicorn started questioningly, "You're an Ambassador for your kind, lived with Rarity since you got here, single, and you're very sure you don't want to prob me or let me blow your brains out in bed? I mean seriously, I'm surprised no mare kidnapped you yet to turn you into their own play thing. I know I would!" She gestured to herself.

I blushed and lightly shook my head, "Thanks for the invitation, but no thanks." I looked at Octavia as she covered her face in embarrassment, sitting beside her friend. "I only want to come by and visit before I go back to my world with Princess Celestia."

"Darn it!" Vinyl crossed her arms and scrunched up her muzzle adorably. Her eyes then widen and looked at me, "Can I at least have a little taste? You know, a mind blowing blowjob to remember me by?" she showed me her hand, nearly touching her thumb and index finger with a pouting expression. I'm glad Sweetie Belle's not here to witness this all.

"Vinyl!" The grey mare yelled, causing me and the unicorn to jump a little in surprise.

"Hiya!" We all then jumped at the sudden appearance of the law defining mare that is Pinkie Pie. "Oh right…" the second crazy mare reached down and threw out her arms in the air, spreading out confetti all around us with a big smile on her face "Surprise!"

"Hiya, Pinks!" Vinyl greeted the mare happily as she recovered from our near heart attack. I and Octavia were still trying to slow our weak hearts down by resting a hand on our chest and taking rhythmic, deep breaths.

I caught my breath and smiled weakly at the pink mare, "Good to see you too, Pinkie. What's up?" I asked as she rested her elbows onto the couch the mares were sitting on, showing off her teasing cleavage.

She opened her mouth to answer, froze and blinked blankly, "I totally forgot why I got here." She started pondering, scrunching up nose adorably and scratched her chin. I can almost see the gears working overtime in her head.

I looked down at my watch and sighed sadly, "Sorry, everyone, but I should be heading back to the boutique. I need to make dinner for the sisters." I stood up and brought out my hand with a smile, "It was great to meet you Octavia," we shook, then faced the unicorn, "You too, Vinyl." When she grabbed my hand, she yanked me in, placing my face into her breasts and her arms wrapped around me in a vice grip. When I breathed in, trying to refill my lungs, for some reason, I smelled… something. I couldn't tell what it was but… man, it smelled great.

"You stud." She whispered to me seductively, "You know you're really hard to catch. Right?" She said before releasing me.

I stood back up, and adjusted my glasses, "I guess you can say that." I answered and walked over to the door. I put my shoes back on and looked back at the three mares, "Hopefully we'll see each other soon." I said before going out and closing the door behind me.

I started walking down the street with my hands in my pocket, thinking what I'm going to do during and after our visit back home.

"Hey, lover boy!" I stopped and looked back to see Vinyl at the door, "Wait up! We're comin' with yah!" she finished before going back in.

I arched an eyebrow and before I could ask myself why, Pinkie suddenly appeared to my sighed. I jumped away from her and sighed, shaking my head, "Pinkie… we need to put a bell on yah." I said as I rested a hand on my chest.

"You mean this!?" she nod her head and a small, shiny bell somehow slid down her hair and hooked itself on the tip of her curly hair. "I already have one!" she said happily and started lightly shaking her head happily to let the bell chime, giggling while she did.

"Hurry up, Tavi!" I looked back at the building and saw Vinyl wearing a white, hoodie with a zipper undone and had electric blue stripes going down from her shoulder and ended on her purple sleeves just above her elbows. She also wore tight pair of powder blue short shorts that ended just above her thighs. She had a pair of white and cyan blue headphones wrapped around her neck, its wire connected to some device attached to her hip.

Then Octavia walked out with her cello case strapped to her back. She wore some kind of three piece suite for her torso with her pink bowtie wrapped around her neck and a purple skirt ending just above her knees. It looked like she was going to a play in some kind of important concert.

When they both went up to me with smiles, I asked, "What's all this?" and gestured to them.

"Oh! Oh!" Pinkie hopped up and down and raised her hand in the air like an eager student.

"Uh… Pinkie?"

"We're going to have a 'Going Away but Probably Will Come Back to Equestria and Live with Us Forever' Party at Rarity's Boutique!" she answered proudly, blew on her nails and rubbed them on her shirt like some kind of metal was given to her, and smiled smugly.

"Did you ask Rarity, first?" I asked again, knowing my housemate didn't like messy spaces.

She nodded her head frantically, "Uh-huh!"

We started walking through the road, "So what's for dinner, lover boy?" Vinyl asked, resting her hands in the pockets of her hoodie, her glasses now covering her eyes.

"Didn't you hear, Pinkie? It's a party, so it means we're eating sweets and junk food." I answered. "That reminds me. Pink… Pinkie?" I stopped and looked around, trying to find the missing mare, but to no avail. "Where in the world?" I scratched the top of my head in confusion.

"Stop. Right. There." Vinyl order, holding out both her hands. I froze and looked at them both with my eyes.

"W-why?" I asked nervously.

"Clear your mind and stop thinking about Pinkie Pie. I'm Very serious about that, bud." She answered and walked over to me, wrapped her arm over my shoulder and started leading me through the road. She then wrapped her other arm around Octavia, "Buddy, keep trying to make sense of Pinkie will drive you crazy, believe me. Twilight tried that once and she ended looking like some mad scientist a year back, like she changed from one pony to another, like that stallion from Dr Hooves and Mr Malice. So just lay back and just try to expect Pinkie popping out of nowhere." She said smoothly like she was some kind Pinkie Pie expert… come to think of it, I should just listen to her wise words. No point on making myself crazy before going back home.

"I'll try." I answered and we continued on through the road in relative silence.

When we arrived at the boutique, I heard a few voices inside the building. "Oh, Please be careful with that, Pinkie. Ah! No! Don't Touch That!" I chuckled, knowing the voice was coming from none other than Rarity herself.

I grabbed the doorknob and opened the door to see Pinkie Pie decorating the whole shop with ribbons and balloons. I chuckled at Rarity's fearful expression as we walked in, "Good day, Rarity." I greeted and took off my shoes near the door. The other two rubbed their hooves on the doormat and walked in with me.

"Marcus!" Rarity said happily, and walked over to me, "Thank Goodness you're here. Come. Please." She dragged me over to a stand, "Get on and stay still." She quickly ran over to her desk and started rummaging through the drawers. I just shrugged, straightened out my cloth and stood up straight. When she got back, she wrapped the measuring tape from my waist to ankles.

Vinyl and Octavia walked up to us with a confused expressions, "What's all this?" Octavia asked. I just shrugged in response.

"I asked but she said it was a surprise." I answered as Rarity quickly walked back to her desk and wrote down the measurements on a piece of paper.

"And it shall be that way till I am finished." Rarity answered, folded the piece of paper, and placed it within her bra. "What good is a surprise if it's revealed before it is finished?" she finished. She then started walking towards the stairs, her hips swaying hypnotically and up the stairs.

When she was out of sight, Vinyl whistled and smiled, "Damn, Marky. Now I know why you rather live and serve her. I mean you saw it too! Those big, lushes, round…" her hands looked like they were clenching and squeezing Rarity's imaginary butt cheeks.

"Vinyl…" we looked at Octavia who was giving her friend a deadpan look, "Go sit over on the couch." She pointed like she was giving her pet tough love.

"Fine." She whined the quickly looked back at me, "Still though, Marky. We should devastate that mare to a coma."

"Vinyl… last chance." Octavia warned and pointed to the couch.

The unicorn's eyes got wide in horror and slouched down in fear, "O-okay, Tavi! I'm goin'. I'm goin'." She slowly backed away from her friend and sat on the couch with a pout, resting her hands on couch between her legs.

I looked back at the cellist as she put her case down gently, "Why was she scared like that?" I asked.

"Oh it's nothing big. But if she crosses the line, I'm going to ignore her the rest of the day." She sighed sadly, "I don't like seeing my friend in such distress, but I have my own boundaries. Once I did ignore her a whole day, she was in near tears trying to get me talking to her again. When the day was done, she clung to me like I would be gone the moment she lets go." She wiped a tear from her eye, then smiled, "Now, she respects everything about me, like I do with hers. We're practically inseparable now. I learned she just wants somepony to be there to hug when she needs one. I know she gets a little crazy sometimes, but that's her way of saying she likes you. She does that to me everyday and it never gets old." She grabbed both her elbows and lightly giggled.

We looked over at the couch to see Vinyl and Pinkie rolling around the couch with big smiles like it was the softest couch they ever laid on. "Oh, this couch is so Soft! I could just get an orgasm just by laying on it!" she said as the two rolled around some more, the limbs and bodies entangled like some twisted sex position, or some kind sick alien experiment squirming around the couch.

"Yeah…" Pinkie replied blissfully. "What you said… wait." The pink girl looked down to her crotch and smiled, "Nope! Nothing Yet!" she said and both continued rolling around while moaning and groaning.

"She gets along with other crazy mares but she'll always be My Vinyl Scratch." Octavia finished with a smile.

"She always will, Octavia. And no one else can that away from you both." I said and she nodded in agreement with a small 'Mmm'.

After that, we helped out with a few things to set up the party. Apparently, the only thing I and Octavia had to do was set up the already floating balloons. I tried to look around for a helium tank or some kind of tank the pink mare used to get these balloon floating. After failing to find the pressurized gas tank, I went into the kitchen, grabbed the glass bowl from its cupboard and rested it down on the kitchen counter to make the drink for the party.

As I carefully and patiently measured and poured the ingredients into the bowl and stirred. After a few moments, I started hearing flapping wings and chirping of birds within the building.

"Oh… h-hello." The sound of a soft, shy voice gently echoed into the kitchen.

"Good afternoon." Octavia politely greeted the shy mare.

"Niiiccce… Bust…" Vinyl moaned, quickly followed by some slow, long rustling, "Wanna join the couch with us?" she cooed.

The grey mare sighed, "Ignore her and I promise you'll be safe." She said.

I chuckled as I finished stirring the punch with a wooden spoon. I took a small sip from the spoon, washed it around in my mouth, tasting. I smiled and swallowed the fruity drink.

Suddenly, I felt a small weight land on top of my head, followed by a little bird singing. I smiled, and reached up, offering my finger. The little bird hopped over and I carefully lowered my arm to look at the small bird, "Hello, there." I greet and gently stroked it from head to tail feathers. I continued to pet the small bird, seemingly enjoying the treatment I was giving it.

"Oh… h-hi, Marcus." I heard Fluttershy behind me. I looked back and saw her peeking in through the threshold, a few more different kinds of birds perched on her shoulders or head.

"Good afternoon, Fluttershy. Doing well?" I asked, and let the bird fly back to her.

She nodded with a smile, "I'm fine. Thank you." All of a sudden, a large firry bird perched itself on her head with a soft, smooth cry, almost like a whale call, and flaring its wings out.

"Whoa…" I stared at the streamline, beautiful creature in awe and weakly pointed, "I-is that a?"

Fluttershy lightly nodded, bobbing the bird on top of her head, "Uh-huh. Her name's Philomena. Princess Celestia's pet Phoenix." She reached up to her head and the bird moved on over to her arm. She started gently stroking the bird as it purred, "Isn't she adorable?"

"Phoenixes are my favourite kind of cryptids in my world." I said. Both her and the bird look at me weirdly. I chuckled sheepishly, "Cryptids aren't considered existing beings. Make believe, not real… fake." I said. I looked at her, "Wait… how did you get to convince Princess Celestia to lend you her pet Phoenix?"

She giggled, "When Pinkie came by and told me about the party, I asked the Princess if it was okay to bring along Philomena to the party. I heard you liked birds, so…" she blushed cutely and tried to hide her face from behind her pink hair.

"Oh… how thoughtful of you." I said happily.

She looked at me and made a cheeky smile, "Y-you wanna handle her?" she brought out her arm with the bird on.

"S-sure!" I looked at the majestic bird and slowly brought out my own arm. Philomena leaned down and examined my right arm before perching herself on my arm. I brought her up to me and gently scratched her chin, earning a continued purr from her. "Nice to meet you, Philomena." I greeted and caressed down from her head and onto her tail feathers. The bird nuzzled my neck in thanks.

"Howdy, yall!" the southern accented mare yelled into the boutique.

"Marky!" the rainbow haired daredevil yelled next.

He walked out of the kitchen with Philomena perched on my shoulder and Fluttershy following right behind. "I'm here, Rainbow." I called out.

When I saw Applejack, on her shoulder, she held onto a barrel with a cork plugged onto the hole and a short muzzle sticking out of a pocket of her tight, short shorts. Rainbow's eyes twinkled at me and rocketed towards me. When I braced for impact, it never came, but a few taps on my left shoulder. I took a peek and saw Rainbow staring at me with a bright smile.

"What's up?" she asked happily.

I sighed in relief, but the moment I did, she wrapped her arms around me and crushed me with her athletic strength and lifted me off the floor. Philomena squawked in surprise; flew off my shoulder and landed on Fluttershy's for cover.

"Rainbow Dash dear, please put Marcus down. I don't think he's supposed to turn purple like that." Rarity said with a hint of worry in her tone and pointed a finger at me.

Right before my head could explode and spread bits and pieces of fractured skull and grey matter, she dropped me down to the floor. I got down to my knees and sucked in a deep breath of air to refill my body of its precious oxygen supply.

When I did, everything I saw turned dark and I fell forward, planting my face onto a something furry, warm and soft. Then caring hands started stroking the back of my head. "Sorry, monkey boy." I heard and a hand lightly patted my back.

I groaned softly, "That's the second time today." I said into the mare's soft belly.

"Better get used to it, bud. When you get back from that trip, you're getting many tight snuggles and hugs from us." She said.

I leaned back and sighed, "I guess." I said and slowly got up with Rainbow's help.

"You bet, Rainbow." I was suddenly brought in into another crushing hug, my face being firmly planted into AJ's cleavage. "But just in case… I mah miss yah, Marky." She said, giving me a little more squeeze before letting me go.

I stepped back, took my glasses off and slowly rubbed my face from top to bottom before putting my glasses back on, "I'll miss yah too, Applejack." I said with a light blush.

A second later, the door opened once more for the last mare of the group entering the building. Twilight's hair was somewhat of a mess, her clothing a little unkempt, but other than that, she was smiling happily with a mug of steaming hot coffee on her right hand, and a clipboard in her armpit on the other side.

Rarity gasped, her expression in shear horror, both her hands covering her gaping mouth, "Twilight Sparkle!" she rushed over and started fixing her friends outfit for her, rapidly, "I can Not believe you went out looking like that, dear! So Brave, You Are!" she said, took out a hair brush from out of nowhere and started brushing Twilight's hair and tail. In no time at all, she took a step back and nodded in approval, "No need to thank me, dear. Anything for a friend in need." She said with a wave of her hand, levitated the hairbrush over to her work desk and walked off with a smile on her face.

Twilight looked at herself for a few moments, before she shrugged it off with a small giggle, "I guess I forgot." She said more to herself then to anyone in the room.

Vinyl whistled, "Wow… that girl got mad skills." She looked at me as she dangled her legs in the air, resting on her stomach on the couch as Pinkie rested on her back, her heading lightly going from side to side like a ticking grandfather clock, "Now I'm really curious of what the surprise really is." I nodded in agreement.

"Good afternoon, Marcus. Doing well?" Twilight asked as she got up to me, taking another sip of her coffee.

"Yeah, actually. I didn't expect having a party, though." I answered, "I thought you'd never make it, Twilight. You were out like a rock when I visited you." I said with a small chuckle.

"Yes, yes, quite. But when Pinkie woke me about the party, I couldn't resist." She brushed her hand across her scalp with a tired sigh, "I just hope I stay awake long enough till the end of the party. I nearly emptied the sugar from its pot in this one cup of coffee." She lifted up her steaming coffee cup, then smiled at me, "And thank you so much for telling me about Cadence, Marcus." She stepped loser and wrapped her mug holding arm around me as I returned it in kind.

"Anything for a good friend, Twilight." I replied as we separated.

"Okay everypony!" we looked at Applejack as she filled up a mug of Apple Cider from the barrel. She then walked over to me, wrapped one powerful arm around me and showed me the mug, "We all know what migh' happen with our little friend Marky here if his plan get's a kick on the flank and never, Ever comes back into our little circle of friends. We're all here teh teach em how much we care for em in this here little going away party of his. So let's show em how much we love em, shall we!?"

"Yeah!" the little group of ponies yelled, though Fluttershy's quiet attempt looked pretty adorable with Philomena perched on top of her head.

"Hey, Pinks." Vinyl said to the mare resting on her back.

"Yeah!?" she replied happily, still lying on her back.

"We need music…" she said to the mare with closed eyes, wearing a gentle smile on her lips.

Pinkie gasped, suddenly sitting up on Vinyl, "Music! What's a party without music?!" she yelled and bolted out the door. Vinyl giggled and looked at me with her smile.

"3… 2… 1…" she said, then Pinkie rushed back in with what looked like a black box that reached up to her hips, its two wheals rolling as she pulled it by its handle protruding out from it.

Pinkie twirled it before it rested down with a light thump. She sits down on its side and crossed her arm, smirking at everyone of us. Octavia lightly shook her head, covering her face with one hand with a sigh.

I looked at the box a little more closely and saw it had a dark round disk in the middle of its face, and that's when I knew it was a small speaker.

Vinyl sits up and stretches on the couch for a few moments before she stood up and walked over to Pinkie, patting her on the shoulder, "A big help as always, Pinks." She said and stood right behind the short box.

Rarity walks over, closely looking at the box, "Pray tell, Miss Scratch. What in the world is this?" she asked, crouching down and pocked the disk.

Pinkie smirked at her friend without her noticing and walks off, whistling like she had something to hide.

"Ahh… Rarity." She looks back at me with a questioning look on her face, "I think you might want to step back from that thing." I weakly pointed at the seemingly harmless box.

"Why?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Tck, tck, tck…" Vinyl lightly shook her head and smiled broadly. She leaned down, resting her elbows on the box, her butt and tail sticking out in the air and propping up her jaw with her right hand, looking at Rarity with half closed eyes, "You sure you want to find out, Rares? Curiosity does kill the cat sometimes." she said.

"Um… maybe?" Rarity said, looking unsure of her own answer.

Vinyl leaned back up and gestured to a blue button at the corner of the amp we all just noticed, "Why don't you find out yourself?" she suddenly grind, putting out her hands to stop the mare from pressing the button, "Actually! Why don't you just sit back and wait."

Rarity took her hand back and sat down on her knees, "Why?"

"Why?" she snickered, earning a light frown from Rarity, "You'll be blown away, that's why! It's Just My BASS CANON!" she yelled with a big grin. She slammed her hand on the button.

The small contraption suddenly rose up with four short legs at its bottom, neon blue light coming out of the openings. Rarity jumped back from surprise, crawling back as the machine continued to transform. The speaker's sides shot out to reveal two more speakers with glowing blue rings, lights also coming out from the opening. Two smaller speakers rose up from the two, only having single blowing rings. Then the top flipped to show a few instruments; nubs, switches and buttons littering the interface. Then the face of the transformed speaker started glowing, the rings started to form as if the machine was charging up.

It now just stood there, unmoving and not a sound being produced. Vinyl just stood there, her arms crossed across her chest. Rarity started to calm down, and just before she should get up on her hooves, Vinyl's 'Bass Canon' started roaring out a series of drum beats, wubs and rising and falling of rhythmic music.

"Awwwe-yeah!" Vinyl shouted out, now starting to bob her head with the beat.

I cringed of how loud it was, but I help Rarity get up to her hooves shakily. She wrapped an arm over my shoulders to keep herself from falling back down. I looked at Vinyl, raising my hand up to my throat and making a slicing motion.

Vinyl made a 'Oh' with her mouth and turned the music down, but didn't kill it.

I looked around the room and saw everyone was covering their ears but Rainbow Dash, the mare enjoying and dancing with the beat happily like there's no tomorrow.

I walked over to the couch and let Rarity sit down. "You okay, Rarity?" I asked, putting a hand on her shoulder.

She nodded; rubbing her face with both hands then started pocking her ears with her little finger, "Oh dear goodness, that was loud. I swear, if she does that again, and I don't care if this sounds uncouth, but she's getting a hoof stuck up her plot." She said, looking over at Vinyl with a slight glare, still trying to clean out her right ear. I looked back and saw Octavia giving her housemate the same deathly, disapproving glare.

"Oh! Oh! Oh!" Pinkie started hopping with her right hand waving high in the air.

"Uh… Pinkie?" I said, confusingly.

She bolted behind Twilight slipped the clipboard from Twi's grasp and scurried over to me, holding out the item to me, "Follow this, and I'm five hundred percent, absolutely, positively sure you'll enjoy every second of the party!" she then started motioning to herself, "Cross my heart, an' hope to fly. Stick a cupcake in my eye!" she pressed the palm of her head onto her right eye, but kept her smile.

I grabbed the clipboard from her and looked at Twilight. She nodded at me and took another sip of her coffee. I read the list of games and time right beside each one, "Well… what are we doing first!?" Rainbow asked, wearing a big smile.

"Truth or dare." I answered.

One moment we were standing around, the next, we were sitting in a circle with mugs full of Apple Cider by our sides. Rainbow was sitting to my left, while Rarity to my right, their shoulders pressed up against mine even though there was plenty of room. An empty glass bottle was right in the middle and they all looked at me, waiting.

"We're waiting~!" Pinkie said in a playful, singsong voice.

I reached out and spun it with a flick of my fingers and thumb. As it spun around, I was a little confused to why I was spinning a bottle. Was this some kind of Spin the Bottle and Truth or Dare hybrid? As I finished my thought, the bottle slowly stopped and pointed its neck at… Applejack.

I smiled at her, "Truth or Dare?"

"Truth." She smiled smugly and crossed her arms. Damn it! I barely know a thing about her! Come to think of it, I barely know any of the girls surrounding me. Although, I know a little more about Rarity and her sister. Wait, where's that little filly, anyways?

"Hmm…" I rubbed my chin, pondering while starring at the mare with squinting eyes.

"Um… Pinkie." Pinkie looked at Twilight with a cheeky smile. "I think we haven't thought through this very well."

Pinkie gasped, resting a hand on her chest like Twilight's words broke her heart, "No We Have Not!"

"Pinkie. Marcus barely know us." Twilight clarified with a deadpan look.

"Oooooooh… oh… OH!" Pinkie said. She snatched the clipboard away from me, pulled out a pink crayon from her hair and started quickly writing on the piece of paper with her tongue sticking out from the side of her lips. When she finished handed it over to me, I looked at it and saw all the games listed before were crossed out and a new list of things were wrote down right beside it. Though, the time listed were still much there.

"So, what are we doing now?" Rainbow asked.

"One moment." I looked at AJ, "Truth or Dare. Is it true you brought your finest Apple Cider to this party?" I asked and drank the sweet nectar from the mug.

"Uuh… yeah?" she answered, unsure what else to say.

"That's all I needed to know." I made a satisfied sighed and lifted the clipboard up to my face, adjusting my glasses. "Okay, so we're… telling stories about each other." I said. I looked at the bottle, "I'll spin the bottle on who's going first, and will go clockwise after that." I said, and they all nodded in agreement. I gripped the bottle with my fingers once more and spun it.

"Whoa-whoa! Wait!" Rainbow held out both hands at me, "You mean you're telling us, You accidentally impaled yourself with a rusty nail that was jetting out from a wooden crate, trying to pull out the plastic wrapping?"

I nodded with a chuckle, "Yes." I showed them my left wrist, as they all leaned in to get a better look. "I still have the 'L' shaped scar right here." I pointed, "The nail itself almost went all the way through, but lonely managed to make a little dent right here." I twisted my wrist and pocked the spot. "By the time I got to the Hospital, it felt like I dipped my whole arm into ice cold water. The Doctor sterilized my wound from any potential infections, then I had a blood transfusion and got patched up before I returned home." I finished speaking with a smile.

"Yah humans are tougher then ah expected." Aj spoke up, handing my first refill of Cider. "How in the wide, wide world didn't yah get traumatized after all those painful things happenin' to yah? Our little ones get paranoid after three times." She said.

"I… I don't know, actually." I took a quick sip. I looked around and felt a little sorry for the greenish Fluttershy for telling those stories. "I guess we're used to it, I don't really know. I mean, I seen a women survive from an RPG attack." I shrugged.

They all looked at me in confusion, "What's an 'RPG'?" Twilight asked, nearly finishing her cup of coffee.

"Rocket… Purpled… Grenade." I answered and leaned back with my mug to my side.

Her mouth dropped open, "What!?"

"Yeah. Medical science does wonders nowadays."

"Done!" we all looked at Pinkie as she checked out something on the clipboard.

"What are we doing now, Pinks?" Vinyl asked as she chugged down the last remaining Cider from her mug. Octavia sitting beside her just shook her head at her housemate's manners.

"Poker!" she answered happily and took out a deck of cards out from her curly tail.

"Poker? With what? We didn't bring our bits with us." Rainbow answered. The other girls seemed to agree with their rainbow haired friend.

"How about Strip Poker?" Vinyl suggested as she took a bite out of a chocolate chip cookie like the idea wasn't crazy.

"Where'd you get that?" I pointed. She gestured to a table packed with sweets and drinks of all kinds. I raised an eyebrow, but just shook my head, reminding myself it was Pinkie being Pinkie.

"No." Octavia answered and gave a deadpan stare at her close friend.

"Why not?!" Vinyl chuckled with a smile, "It'll probably be the last time Marky sees us, so why not make it memorable?" she threw the last bit of cookie in her mouth with a giggle.

I looked at everyone in our little circle, and they seemed… suggestive. Oh no. After they looked at one another, they all just stared at me, waiting for an answer.

"Well… what's yer answer?" AJ spoke up.

I blushed, my mind now racing for an answer I didn't quite know How to answer. One more glance around the blushing group, save for Vinyl and Pinkie, I finally opened my mouth. "I'll only play along, if you're all one hundred percent comfortable with this."

"Oh! Okay." Twilight said and looked at her friends, "So any ideas on what we should use as currency?"

Pinkie then dropped four boxes of different kinds of cookies right in front of us. "That'll work." I said.

After carefully evening out the cookies for everyone, even Philomena, Pinkie expertly shuffled the cards, seemingly letting them defy gravity itself. After half an hour, surprisingly enough, the Phoenix was winning, wearing a pair of black shades to hide her eyes, holding the cards with her feather tips.

Suddenly, an alarm went off, causing everyone but Pinkie to jump. She giggled, grabbed the gold alarm clock from behind her and turned it off. She put it with her maze of curly hair, brought out the clipboard with her other hand and put on a pair of glasses she took out from her tail.

"What's next?" Rainbow asked, taking a bite out of her 'currency'.

"Regular party stuff!" she answered happily.

So, we played 'Pin the Tail on a Pony', Surprisingly, the big piece of paper had a full sized mare, sticking out her butt at us with a missing tail and pouting at us. Vinyl won that one, and I was pretty sure she used her butt finding powers to do that and actually slapped the piece of paper. After that, we played 'Hang Pony', danced and etc. It was great to hear Octavia play her instrument again for us. Vinyl suggested more… 'intimate' games for us to play, making Rarity a little flustered. Again, thank goodness Sweetie wasn't here to witness this.

As the little group played around and talked, I grabbed myself a bowl of berries with cream whip, a cup of Punch and sat down on the couch. I watched the girls happily talking to each other; Vinyl showing Rainbow dash her 'insane' machine, Applejack and Pinkie Pie spoke something about foods and treats, Fluttershy and Twilight spoke to each other about something I couldn't understand. And that left Rarity, who was going right over to me with a gentle smile. She sat down beside me, "Are you enjoying yourself, Marcus?"

I nodded, "I am. Although, I'm wondering where Sweetie Belle went off to?"

"She and her friends are having a sleepover at Scootaloo's home, don't worry." She rested a hand on my lap, rubbing it to reassuring me.

"When is she coming back?" I asked. I wanted to see that little squeaky, bundle of joy before I go.

"She promised to come by the first thing in the morning." She answered. After that, she yawned while covering her gapping mouth. "Oh… oh dear, what time is it?"

I looked at my watch raised my eyebrows in surprise, "Eleven."

"Oh! Oh!" Pinkie suddenly bolted up to us, waving her hand in the air with a big smile.

"Pinkie?" I said.

She looked at Rarity beside me, "Can we have a sleepover too!? Please!? Plea-he-he-he-he-hease!" She pleaded to her friend on her knees, praying like her life depended on it, tiny dots of tears starting to form on the edges of her eyelids. Everyone in the room stared the Pinkie in dead silence.

Rarity looked at everyone in the room, "Well… what for?" she asked and looked at Pinkie.

She shot out her left arm towards me, and pointed a finger at me, "So we can stay with him longer!" she went right back to her pleading position with big watery eyes, "Pleeeaaase!?"

"I thin…" Rainbow and Vinyl suddenly rushed in.

"What this about 'Sleepover's'?" they both said in unison.

Pinkie looked up at them with a gleeful smile, "Oh. I'm just praying to Rarity if it's okay to have a sleepover here so we can stay with Marky all night." She suddenly turned back to Rarity again, "Plea-he-he-he-hease!" she cried out.

Rarity gently rested a finger on Pinkie's lips to shut her up, "I was about to say, Pinkie. I think it's a splendid idea."

Pinkie jumped up to her hooves and pumped her fist in the air with a loud, "YES!". Right after that, she rushed out and came back in with a small, colorful, cartoonish canon. "Bed Time, Everypony!" she yanked on the little fuse string and shot out rolled up bundles to everyone. Everyone, plus me caught the bags, but Fluttershy twisted around with a cute 'Eep!' and let the bag hit her back and just fell down on the floor. Every bag had their own color matching their coats, and mine was blue.

As I looked at Pinkie, she took out her own, pink, bag, took out its content, grabbed it with both hands and swung it up to the air, unrolling itself in front of us with a big smile. Everyone else smiled at that and started unrolling their sleeping bags on the floor.

I did the same before walking into the kitchen the wash my bowl and cup in the sink. When I got to the room, I saw Pinkie inflating bed mats on the floor and connecting them together with colorful strings, humming a little tune to herself. The next thing I noticed was I saw my sleeping bag was in the middle of the large, makeshift bed and the girls were having a debate about who should sleep closer to me. Vinyl, Rainbow Dash and Rarity had different reasons to why they should sleep closer to me, and all made me turn crimson red.

Applejack walked over to me, wrapped an arm over my shoulders and looked at the little, arguing group, "Why mus' yah be a Gentlecolt?" she asked me.

"Gentleman..." I corrected, "And I can't help it, AJ. I was born like that."

She made an 'Mm' in understanding, but smiled after, "Hey, girls!" she yelled to them, and the three looked at us both, "How about we give Marky the choice on who should sleep closest to him? Hm?" she suggested. Crap! Why did you say that, AJ! I Hate making choices! Especially between girls!

"So what's your choice, stud?" Vinyl smiled seductively.

"Um…" my puny brain started racing away to make an answer, and how to get out of this mess, Applejack so kindly put me in. I could feel a trickle of sweat starting to form on my forehead and hear my own heart pounding in my ears. Right before my brain could fry itself and possibly combust into flames, Twilight spoke up.

"Maybe… 'Yaawwn!'… maybe we should have him separated from us…" she suggested. Oh, thank you, you lovely, adorkable, egghead! I own you big time. I mentally sighed in relief.

"What? Why?" Rainbow said; the other two looked at Twilight in confusion.

"Because, it se… 'Yawn'… it seems you three are fighting over our friend." She started taking off her outer clothing, and threw them aside. Now just wearing dark purple bra and panties, and sleepily tucked herself into her sleeping bag with a sigh of relief.

"I… I guess she has a point there." Rarity spoke up and looked at me. "You're going to go and sleep in my bed tonight, dear. I'll be down here with the girls." She started walking off to her room.

Vinyl huffed and crossed her arms, "I was only going to suggest we share my sleeping bag tonight." We all gave her a deadpan look, save for Twilight. "What? I like cuddles, okay. Besides, I sleep all natural, so he won't wakeup in the middle of the night… Maybe." Then looked over at her rainbow haired friend with a smirk.

"What? I can sleep all natural, too!" she defended herself.

"Dash, yah snore so loud, yah would scare a full grown Manticore away." AJ said jokingly, earning a glare from Rainbow, her face fuming red and clenching her fists.

"Okay, dear. You're more than welcome to sleep in my room anytime, Marcus." Rarity came back down.

"Thanks, Rarity." I thanked her, quickly followed by a yawn. "I'll see you all in the morning. Goodnight, everyone." I said and started going up the stairs, somewhat dragging my feet.

Everyone in the room started peeling off their clothes from their bodies, throwing them aside and went into their rightful places, in their sleeping bags in a long pile. As time passed, everyone could feel tension building up between them but Twilight, the sleeping mare gently and silently snoring in peace.

Finally, someone broke the silence, "Okay, somepony should really get up there and keep him company. Any takers?" Rainbow whispered.

Before Vinyl could answer happily, Applejack spoke, "Ah vote Fluttershy." She said causing the shy mare to make an adorable, quiet, 'Eep!'.

"I agree." Octavia spoke up next.

"Okay Fluttershy, get your squishy flank up there and keep our Marky company and stay there." Pinkie said and giggled, while Vinyl's mouth watered at the mental image, licking her lips.

"Okay, fine." Vinyl said, then turned over to face her housemate Octavia, "I guess you'll have to do, Tavi." She whispered and cuddled closer to her with a satisfying sigh. She took out her head from her own sleeping bag and rested it just under Octavia's chin. "Goodnight, sister."

"Mm… goodnight, Vinyl." Octavia replied and rubbed her cheek onto her friend's head with a smile.

I couldn't sleep. The bed wasn't the problem, it was very comfortable in fact, but I felt this tension looming in the air of this room. I was down to my shorts and it felt good. Wearing my cloths twenty four, seven didn't do much good to me. That thought reminded me to ask Rarity if I could take a shower in the morning.

'knock-knock-knock…'

The knock on the door wasn't very loud; maybe they think I'm asleep. "It's open." I said as I continued to stare at the ceiling, leaving my body bear of the warm blanket under me. The doorknob lightly jiggles, slowly opening the door to the room. I looked down and saw Fluttershy standing at the doorway, half nude with her light green bra and panties, hugging her form tightly. I smiled, "Are you okay?" I asked, propping myself up with my elbows.

She blushed as she gently and slowly closed the door, "Um… the girls wanted me to keep you company…" she stood near the door, trying to hide her face behind her hair and covering up her lower parts with her tail.

"Oh. Okay, than, come on over, Fluttershy. There's plenty of room on this bed." I scooted over to my right.

Fluttershy looked up with a gentle smile, walked over to her side and slid under the covers, trying to hide every inch of her body with it. She looked up at me, "So… um… d-did you have fun?" she asked shyly, her cheeks still a little pink.

I laid back down, using my hands as a pillow, "It was great, Fluttershy. Best party I ever been in."

She yawned cutely for a few moments and sleepily looked at me. "Um… are you going to bring Bo if you come back?" she asked.

"Most likely." I answered while yawning and rubbing my eyes. I got myself comfortable and went under the covers with Fluttershy. "Hopefully everything will go… 'Yawn'… every will go as planned." I took my glasses off, and faced the drowsy mare with a sly smile. "Thanks for the company, Fluttershy… it means a lot… and sorry for getting you a little green with my stories…"

She scooted a little closer to me, "Your welcome… and it's okay." she whispered and dozed off, resting her head just under my chine.

So that's what I needed. A little company from one of my new friends. Soon after, I fell asleep as well.

Rare: (Walks in to her Boutique, but suddenly stops as she felt something splat down onto her head. She reach up and looked at her finger tips in shear horror as she saw the white, squishy ooze. She looked up and sees the culprit, none other then Bo, the Macaw, smirking down at her) WAAAAAAHAHAHAHAAA! (She cried out, tears pouring down her cheeks and runs away from the snickering bird)
Bo: (Pulls out an empty Toothpaste from under her wings, glides over to a trashcan and drops it in)
