As Flash drove through the city, he felt what Pinkie had dubbed nervocited.
He was about to start his first ever house hunt. Cream Heart had lined up several apartments and now, he was going to check them out to see if any felt like the place he would begin to call home. This excited him, since he was going to get his own place and make his own rules. But it also made him nervous, since it meant he would need to be entirely self reliant once he was moved in.
He soon arrived at the first apartment he would be looking at, the teen pulling up in front of the large building that housed many different apartments.
Cream Heart was standing in front of it, smiling as he parked and got out. "Morning." She nodded, clipboard in hand as she held out her hand. "How are you feeling? I know looking for your first home is always nerve-racking."
"You have no idea," Flash nodded before looking up at the apartment building. "So this is the place?"
"Yes," Cream nodded. "It matches almost all of your criteria. It's located close to your place of work, has its own parking lot and is well within your price range." Flash smiled, as Cream frowned. "The only downside is that the building is not pet friendly." This instantly put a downer on Flash, who couldn't see himself moving out without his dog.
"Is that something that can be discussed."
"You'll have to ask the manager about that," Cream stated. "Why don't we take a look inside." Flash frowned, but nodded. The pair headed into the apartment, though they both had a feeling Flash wouldn't be picking this place as his new home. But that was alright. There were plenty of other options to choose from.
As this was going on, Rarity was making her way towards Canterlot Spa.
She was excited for two reasons. The first was that she would be getting a spa treatment in preparation for her date that night. The second was that she wouldn't be alone, as all her friends would be having a spa day as well. And they would use this day to discuss things with the two newest members of their little club.
She arrived at the building and as she walked inside, she found Twilight, Rainbow, Pinkie and Fluttershy sitting together on a couch.
"Hello darlings," she smiled. "We ready for a fun and relaxing day at the spa?" They all nodded, though Twilight seemed to be confused about something.
"Rarity. Is there something going on that you're not telling me?" She gestured to the other three. "The keep giving me a look, like they know something. But they won't tell me what."
"Oh," Rarity smiled, "that. Yes. We'll discuss it when we're all here, in private." Twilight frowned, as Applejack and Sunset finally arrived. "Ah, perfect. We're all here."
"Sorry we're late," Applejack told her. "Had a lot of chores to get done before comin'"
"We understand," Fluttershy nodded. "You're probably really tired, after all that hard work in the barn." She, Rarity, Rainbow and Pinkie smirked, whilst the other three looked confused.
Rarity rushed over to sign them in and once they were, the spa girl led them into the back where they could get changed into some robes and head off to begin their spa treatment. And the first spot for them, was the steam room.
Rarity checked inside and found the place was empty, meaning they could talk in private without anyone listening. "Perfect," she led the girls inside and they all got comfortable. Soon enough, the room began to heat up and the girls felt themselves relaxing.
"Now," Twilight stated, "will you girls tell me what the heck's going on?"
Applejack and Sunset looked confused, whilst the other laughed. "Okay," Pinkie giggled. "Well, there's another reason we called you here." The three tilted their heads, clearly not understanding. "It's to welcome you into the Sentry Studios Club."
"The what?" Applejack asked, only to then remember where she had heard the first two parts of that name.
Sunset and Twilight also caught on, the three girls all gasping. "You know?" Sunset asked, as Rarity, Rainbow, Fluttershy and Pinkie nodded. She then turned to Twilight and Applejack, "you girls know as well?"
"Nope," Rainbow stated. "Not unless they've bookmarked the web page as well."
"What's going on?" Twilight asked.
"We know about what you three did," Rarity stated. "At Flash's studio." The three turned to each other, all realising what the other two had done. "And we've all done it as well." Now the three were shocked, but understood the situation. "We're letting you girls know so that we can all be on equal footing."
Applejack glanced around the room. "So all six of you've been in one of his films?" Pinkie, Rarity, Rainbow and Fluttershy nodded without any shame, whilst Twilight and Sunset looked embarrassed as they nodded. "No way."
"I can't believe it," Sunset frowned. "Flash has been using all of us to make money."
"We made money too," Pinkie pointed out. "You got paid, didn't you?" They nodded. "So he didn't use us. He paid us. And he didn't force you, did he?" They shook their heads. "So there's nothing to worry about."
Rarity nodded. "We're telling you girls this, to let you know there's no reason to be ashamed about what we did. We're all adults here and we agreed to do it, so we shouldn't feel bad about it."
"I don't feel bad about it," Twilight nodded. "I'm just surprised the seven of us all agreed to do it." She turned to Fluttershy, who smiled at her.
"I actually asked to be part of it." The three's eyes widened. "I found Rainbow and Pinkie's films online, then asked them to help me get a role in Flash's film. It was a lot of fun."
"Wow," Applejack clearly wasn't expecting that. "Alright then." She turned to Twilight. "But a'h can't believe you agreed to take part. It's one thing for all of us. None of us have boyfriends."
"That's right," Sunset turned to Twilight. "What about Timber?"
Twilight looked down, taking her glasses off to wipe the steam off them. "Timber and I are still together. And Timber's been wanting to take things to the next level. I was kind of nervous about it, so I was holding off. I was worried I'd mess up and freeze in the middle of it and ruin everything."
"Oh," Pinkie smiled, "I get it. You used your time with Flash as practise." Twilight nodded. "Smart. You got to learn everything you needed before doing the real thing with Timber."
"That is smart," Rarity nodded. "So have you and Timber done anything together?" Twilight didn't answer, looking down as if feeling ashamed. The girls shared a look, clearly realising that something was wrong. "You don't have to tell us, if you don't want to."
Twilight nodded, as Sunset leaned back and took everything in. "So we've all had sex with the same guys. Guess that's one thing we all have in common." They nodded, as Sunset turned to the four girls. "Did you four...watch our films?" Applejack and Twilight suddenly looked very worried.
"No," Fluttershy shook her head. "We watched the first few minutes of your sample films."
"Sample films?" Applejack asked.
Pinkie nodded. "It's a little movie Flash makes for the viewers to see what they're getting. It's the first few minutes of the film. Most of the build up to the sexy stuff, then a few clips of that stuff. It's so the viewers can see what they're buying."
"So you didn't watch us have sex?" Sunset asked, the girls all nodding in response.
"We all agreed to a rule," Rarity stated. "We don't watch each other's films without permission." The other three nodded. "And just so you know, you three are welcome to watch any of our films if you're ever curious."
"Really?" Applejack asked.
"Sure," Rainbow smirked, "we got nothing to hide. Have fun watching." The three clearly had no intention of watching, but the fact these four were so open about it amazed them.
"Alright," Sunset nodded, "I guess you three can watch my film if you want."
"And mine," Applejack stated.
"Mine to," Twilight agreed. "It's nothing that special. I'm sure your films were way more entertaining."
"Oh, don't be like that." Rarity gave her an apologetic look. "I'm sure your film was absolutely marvellous. Flash is rather impressive when it comes to making his films. You should have seen the one he released yesterday. It looked like something you'd see in a big blockbuster film."
"Until you get to the raunchy sex scenes," Pinkie giggled.
"Really?" Sunset was curious what kind of film it was. "Guess I'll have to watch it. Or that sample film you were talking about."
"So," Rainbow smirked. "You girls gonna go back?" This question shocked them, as she and Pinkie smiled. "I'm totally going back. Even if I have to ask him to let me in."
"Same," Pinkie smiled. "It was so much fun."
The three frowned at this, as Rarity smiled. "Now now. Don't tell me you didn't enjoy your time. I know I certainly did."
"So did I," Fluttershy nodded. "Both times." Their eyes widened as she said this, the three realising Flash had had Fluttershy star in two films. "By the way." She turned to Rarity. "Can I ask you something personal, about Flash?"
Rarity tilted her head. "Of course, darling. You can ask me anything."
"When you and Flash...did it, after your shoot. Was it...better than when you were filming?" Now the three were really shocked.
"Wait!" Sunset cried. "You and Flash had sex outside of the studio?"
"We actually did it in his front office," Rarity said without an ounce of shame. "I couldn't help myself. I've been attracted to him for a long time and I didn't want to miss my shot." The three newcomers couldn't believe they were hearing this. "And to answer your question, dear. Yes. It was actually much better when we weren't being filmed. Don't know why."
"I thought so," Fluttershy nodded. "It was the same for me."
"Hold on!" Applejack called out. "Ya'h tellin' me, ya'h had sex with Flash outside the studio too?" Fluttershy nodded again, as Rarity smiled.
"Probably should mention. Fluttershy and I are competing to become Flash's girlfriend." Their eyes widened at this. "Fluttershy went on a date with him the other day. And I'll be going on a date with him tonight. We both agreed to let him decide who he would rather be with. And that we wouldn't be upset if he chose the other one."
"You're serious?" Sunset asked, the two girls nodding. "Geez. Since when has Flash been such prime boyfriend material?"
"Really?" Rainbow asked. "You dated the guy. You should be the expert on his boyfriend skills." Sunset frowned. "Flash has always been cool. Snarky, but still cool where it counts." The other girls nodded. Even Twilight, who had rejected him as a boyfriend, knew he was perfect dating material. "So," Rainbow turned to Fluttershy, "you had sex with him on your date?"
Fluttershy nodded. "We went for a hike in the woods. We talked about all the things we had in common. Enjoyed the amazing scenery and had lunch by the side of a lake. That was when I...well I got naked and..." She blushed a little, as the girls all whistled.
"I say," Rarity smiled. "Now that's using your feminine wiles." As she said that, she felt her skin begin to wrinkle. "I think we've been in here long enough. Shall we begin our next beauty regiment?" They all nodded, the seven girls getting up and heading for the door.
Once again out in a common space, they all realised they couldn't talk about their little secret any more. The girls all wanted to keep talking about it, but decided it would be best to wait until they were alone again.
Across town, Flash was feeling exhausted.
He always knew that finding a place to live wouldn't be easy. He wasn't being picky, but he always didn't want to just move into somewhere that didn't meet his needs because it was better than nothing. And so far, he and Cream had visited four different apartments.
Each of them filled one of two of Flash's needs, but had issues somewhere else.
After the first place that didn't allow pets, Flash had asked and the manager hadn't been willing to change that rule, they had gone to the next apartment which didn't have an elevator. And since the apartment was on the fifth floor, Flash wasn't thrilled with the idea.
The apartment itself had been okay, allowing pets and having two bedrooms. But the window and balcony pointed towards another apartment building with a guy who apparently liked to be nude when home.
After that, they went to apartment second which had an elevator...only it wasn't functioning. And when they finally reached the apartment, they met Flash's possible neighbours. One was alright, but the other looked like a humanoid mantis and had kind of an attitude.
The apartment was pretty small, having a small box living room with a kitchen and eating area at the back. The bathroom was also past the bedroom, which meant Flash would need to clean his bedroom if he ever had guest over.
After that, they headed to apartment three and instantly, Flash knew that he wouldn't be living there.
The street was downwind of a sewage treatment planet, which meant the air was totally rancid. If Flash lived there, he would need a nose plug whenever he went outside. He allowed himself to be shown the apartment and whilst it was nice, the large windows and balcony were useless due to the horrible smell.
Apartment four was the furthest from his studio and apparently, it got really bad traffic first thing in the morning. It was also a no pets place, like apartment one, but the manager said it was possible to get rid of that rule if Flash was willing to pay extra.
The apartment wasn't much to look at. The walls were brown and the carpet was really old. It didn't have a balcony or any windows, which made Flash feeling slightly constricted. He knew it was probably the best apartment he would get, but the place just didn't feel like home.
After those four apartments, Flash was feeling drained. He wasn't sure he had the willpower to see the other one, but he wanted to see if it was at least partly good.
So, Flash pulled up in front of the building with Cream parking behind him. As they got out, Cream was looking a little worried. She obviously wasn't impressed with the last few buildings either. "I know today hasn't exactly been what you were hoping for."
"It's fine," Flash told her. "I know you tried to meet all my requests. Guess I was just being optimistic."
"Absolutely not. Of course you don't want to live somewhere you can't be comfortable. Nobody wants to live somewhere they don't want to be. A home is where you need to be the most relaxed. It's somewhere you should be excited to get back to, after a hard day's work."
Flash smiled, as Cream led him towards the apartment building.
"Now, this is our last possible apartment of the day. It's on the fourth floor, has a garden on the roof, is pet accessible and is within your price range. So long as there are no unknown variables, I think you'll like it."
"Hope so." They headed into the lobby and found the elevator did work, which was a plus. They rode it up to the fourth floor and when they got out, Cream headed to the door and opened it up.
Flash stepped inside and was surprised by what he saw.
It was a rather nice looking apartment, being square in design with everything having a nice fit. The front door led to an open area with the living room to the right and a dining area to the left. There was a small but workable kitchen next to the dining room, whilst a hallway in the middle of the apartment led to several doors.
The first door on the left led to a large closet, likely where Flash was supposed to keep the cleaning equipment he didn't own. The door next to it led to a nice looking bathroom, which had a simple toilet, sink and bath shower combo.
Opposite that door was one leading to a nice looking room, which was likely supposed to be a bedroom since there was a large closet. But Flash had a feeling Banana would like it as his own personal play room.
And then, at the end of the hallway, Flash found a larger room that he knew was going to be his bedroom. It had room for a large bed, a table and bookshelves where he could store his things. But the best parts were the two doors that led to another bathroom, which he realised shared a wall with the other bathroom, and the huge walk in closet. There was more than enough room for him to store all his clothes. Heck, it might have actually been too big.
Flash moved back and forth through the apartment, trying to find any fault with the place. But he couldn't.
There was a nice living room to lounge in. The kitchen was small, but had more than enough space for him to cook his favourite meals. The dining room could fit a large table inside and the fact that there were two bathrooms, was a real boon to Flash.
Cream smiled as she watched him look around, clearly thinking he liked it. "So?" She asked, "what do you think?"
"It's..." Flash didn't want to sound too impressed, "it's okay." Cream gave him a knowing smile, as she jotted something down. "The bathrooms are definitely good. The closet space is adequate and you're sure this place is pet friendly?" Cream nodded.
"Why don't I show you the garden," she suggested. "It's up on the roof. Great place to relax and I'm sure your dog would enjoy the many different smells up there." Flash nodded, as the two headed out of the apartment towards the elevator.
Flash wasn't absolutely certain, but he had a good feeling this place was where he wanted to live.
Back with the Rainbooms. The girls had all gone through a plethora of relaxing massages and beauty regiments. Even Rainbow, who wasn't big on those things, felt herself beginning to unwind.
At the moment, the girls were all enjoying a nice soak in a large hot tube. The square wooden bath was like something out of an eastern movie, the hot water flowing into it whilst the old water drained away. The girls could do nothing but sigh, as they realised they were once again alone.
"So, girls?" Rarity smiled at them all, focusing on Twilight, Sunset and Applejack. "My earlier question has yet to be answered. Would you do it again, if Flash asked you back to the studio?" The three looked unsure, as they pondered about what they had done with Flash at the studio.
"I'm guessing Twilight won't," Rainbow stated. "I mean, she was only using that thing to practise making Timber happy. She wouldn't go back. Not unless she and Timber starred in a movie together." She turned to Twilight, "right?"
"Um..." Twilight frowned, clearly having trouble deciding. When she did, the other girls looked worried.
"Twilight?" Sunset asked. "Is something wrong?" Twilight looked down, sinking lower into the bath. "Did Timber find out about your film and get mad?"
"No," Twilight shook her head. "He doesn't know. I decided not to tell him."
"In case he got mad?" Pinkie asked.
"In case he got jealous," Twilight replied. "He's...he's not as equipped as Flash."
"Oh," Rarity looked surprised. "I see. Wait, you and he did it?" The others gasped, as Twilight frowned again. "You didn't do it?"
"We...we tried. First I..." Twilight made sure nobody was watching. "First, I gave him a handjob. I thought it would just help him get ready, the same way I did with Flash." They nodded. "I did it for ten seconds and he blew his load all over my hand."
"Ouch," Rainbow flinched. "That's gotta be embarrassing."
Twilight nodded. "He tried to play it off, saying I was just that good. But I could tell he was horrified by what happened. I tried to distract him from it by licking it off my hand."
"Oh my," Rarity smiled. "How was it." Twilight frowned.
"It was really salty. I don't know what he's eating, but he needs to change his diet." They nodded at this, as Twilight sighed. "After that, he made out for about an hour until he could finally get it up again. He had a condom and put it on, whilst I laid down and got ready."
"So you did have sex?" Pinkie smiled, as Twilight sighed again.
"Does it count as sex, if it only lasted about thirty seconds."
"Seriously?" Rainbow cried, with Twilight nodding. "Geez. It took longer than that for Flash to get his whole dick into me. Sorry Twilight. Looks like you got yourself a one pump chump."
"Six," Twilight stated, "six pumps. And I barely felt anything."
"Now, now." Rarity was obviously trying to make Twilight feel better. "Let's give Timber a break here. It was his first time and Twilight did practise how to make a boy feel good. So him...um...finishing so quickly, is understandable. I'm sure the next time you do it, he'll be much better."
"I guess," Twilight nodded. "But if he wants another go, he's gonna have to work for it."
"What do you mean?" Sunset asked, as she moved through the water towards where Twilight was sitting. A frown appeared on Twilight's lips, as Sunset reached her.
"When we were waiting for him to...recover, I asked him to give me some attention. But he thought that meant just playing with my breasts."
"Ow," Rainbow nodded, "you wanted him to eat you out. Maybe give it the old finger." Twilight nodded. "Did he not know what that was?"
"He did," Twilight replied. "But he didn't want to do it. He said it was absolutely disgusting."
"Disgustin'?" Applejack frowned, "how's in any more disgustin' than the other stuff people do durin' sex?" Twilight shrugged, as the girls sighed. The lot of them were suddenly transported back to their times with Flash. Each one remembered how much pleasure the young man had given them. Even though they were only supposed to be putting on a good show for those watching, it made sure each girl had the time of their lives.
"Maybe Flash is just special," Fluttershy suggested. "Maybe we all got spoiled, having a really nice guy be the first one we ever had sex with. I know I'd rather he be my full time boyfriend more than anyone else. He's...well..."
"Perfect," Rarity smiled. "Yes. I have to agree. Take away the whole making pornographic films angle and you have the perfect man."
"Maybe," Sunset nodded. "I guess I never really noticed when we dated. Too busy using him to try and increase my own popularity." Sunset shut her eyes and thought about her relationship with Flash. Whilst he was a great person, and obviously good at making girls cum, she wasn't sure he was the one for her. They might have a lot in common, but she couldn't see herself spending the rest of her life with him.
"Hey," Applejack turned to Rarity and Fluttershy. "A'h just realised. You girls know what he does for a livin', but ya'h still wanna date him?"
They both nodded. "We've already thought about that. We both agreed that we would be able to live with Flash's wild profession. It's just business and so long as that's all he's doing, we'll be okay with how he makes his money."
Fluttershy nodded. "After our date, I decided I didn't care how many girls he was with. So long as I was one of them and he cleaned himself up after his time with them, then I'm okay with it." The others looked surprised by this, but nodded as Pinkie giggled.
"If you're okay with him being with other women, why are you competing? Just share him." This statement rang in the two girl's ears, causing them to look over and stare at one another. Now there was an idea.
Flash sighed as he looked around the rooftop garden. He certainly hadn't been expecting this.
The large rooftop was covered in soil, with grass growing out of it that had several flower pots half buried into it. A wooden path led from the door to the centre, which had a wooden patio with several chairs on it. And the edges had large barriers to keep people from falling over, which had two lines of white stone bricks that ran along the edges. Soil was filling the gap between the bricks, which had flowers and bushes growing out of them.
Flash took a big whiff of air and as he did, the many smells made him sigh. This place was incredibly relaxing.
"I take it you like this apartment?" Cream asked, with Flash unable to hold back how great he thought the place was.
"Alright. I'll admit it. This place is great."
"Glad to hear it," Cream smiled before looking at her clipboard. "Also, there's something I forgot to mention about the apartment." Flash groaned, fearing this would be that horrible deal breaker. "At some point, a previous occupant had the entire place soundproofed. I think they were music lovers and got annoyed at all the complaints, so they made it so no sound could be heard outside the apartment.
"Really?" Flash was surprised by this. "So I could make all the noise I wanted and nobody would hear it?"
"Pretty much," Cream nodded. "Though that will mean if there's ever a problem, nobody will be able to hear you if you call for help."
"I think I'll be good with that," Flash assured her.
"Excellent. Why don't we take one final look around before you decide?" Flash nodded and they headed back inside, riding the elevator back to the apartment floor. And when they got there, they were in for quite the surprise.
As they stepped out of the elevator, the door to the apartment opposite the one Flash was checking out opened.
Flash looked around, curious who his possible neighbour could be. And when he saw them, his eyes went wide seeing a woman he had met before. A woman he had actually saved.
Her skin was yellow in colour and she had purple hair, whilst wearing a black jacket over a white blouse and blue pants.
The woman glanced over at them and when she saw who they were, her eyes went wide before she smiled. "Flash Sentry?" She stepped forward, "is that you?"
"Hey," Flash searched his mind for her name and soon figured it out. "Victoria. Long time, no see."
Cream looked between them curiously. "Do you two know each other?"
"We met on a cruise a ways back," Victoria explained. "He actually saved me and my daughter's life." Cream looked shocked by this, whilst Flash blushed in embarrassment. "So what are you doing here?"
"He's actually looking to rent this apartment," Cream explained. "And given how much he loved this place, it's likely he's going to be your new neighbour."
"Really?" Victoria smiled. "That's great." But then she gave Flash a confused look. "Wait. How are you able to afford that apartment? Should you be fresh out of high school?"
"I got a really good job," Flash explained. "It's...a family business. Pays really well." Flash hoped she didn't think he was doing something illegal.
"I see," Victoria hummed. "Well, I hope you do decide to move in. Having you as my neighbour would be much better than having some stranger living there." She checked her watch and nodded. "I have to go pick up my girls. Nice meeting you again." Flash nodded, as she rushed into the elevator and hit the lobby.
Flash watched her disappear and was struck with how attractive she was.
He remembered hearing how she was divorced from her husband and if she wasn't seeing anyone, he might just feel okay with using her in one of his films. A single mom of two films could use a little extra cash and probably enjoy a good time with a younger man. He would have to remember that later.
"So," Cream moved back towards the door, "shall we take another look inside?"
Flash smiled. "No. I don't need another look inside. I think this is the place for me." Cream smiled, as Flash stepped up to the door. "I might want my parents to take a look around. See what they think of the place. But I'm sure they'll love it just as much as me."
"Oh, I'm so happy to hear that. I'll get to work on the paperwork and make sure nobody else tries to take this apartment for themselves. If you can get your parents to call me, I can show them around and help convince them it's the perfect place for you."
"Thanks," Flash smiled, "I can tell I'm gonna enjoy living here."
"I'm sure you will. But this is a rather large place to live all on your own. I know from experience that living alone for the first time can be scary. Do you have a girlfriend of someone else looking to move out of their parents' house?"
"No," Flash shook his head. "I might have a girlfriend, but it's way too early for us to think about living together." His mind flashed back to images of Fluttershy and Rarity, Flash suddenly imagining them walking around the apartment.
"Maybe," Cream smiled, "but there's no reason they can't spend a night or two with you until you get comfortable." Flash wasn't sure if she was joking or not, but that didn't sound like a bad idea.
The Rainbooms each sighed, feeling well and truly relaxed as they got dressed back into their street clothes.
It had certainly been an interesting time for them, talking about their fledgling porn careers and their blooming relationships. But now their treatments had come to an end and they were all heading home, Rarity especially due to needing to prepare for her date.
"Well," Rarity turned to her friends, "this has been fun."
"Have fun tonight," Fluttershy smiled. "I hope Flash makes you feel as good as he made me feel."
"Thank you, darling." Rarity turned to the three new members of their little club. "And I hope you three are more comfortable with everything we talked about."
"A little," Applejack nodded. "Don't know if a'm comfortable with the idea of doin' another film. But a'm feelin' better knowin' ya'll did the same thing." Twilight and Sunset nodded. "Not sure if a'm okay with ya'll watchin' ma'h movie."
"We won't watch it if you don't want us to," Rarity assured her.
"Yeah," Rainbow nodded. "But if you wanna watch mine, go ahead. I ain't stopping ya."
"Same here," Pinkie smirked. The girls all nodded, as they said their final goodbyes before splitting up. Some headed for their vehicles, whilst others headed for the bus stop or simply walked home. As they did, they all thought about what they had learned that day and how insane it all seemed.
Some continued to be excited, looking forward to the next time they would get to star in a Sentry Studios film. Others just wondered how their lives would be affected by the films they had already done, or the films their friends had done. And a few were thinking about their love lives and how things would turn out in that department.
The future felt like it could spin out in many different ways. And the girls were nervocited about how it would play out. There was only one way to find out. To walk into that future and see it for themselves.
