In a peaceful cottage on the outskirts of Ponyville, two lovers were packing a picnic basket. One was a lovely yellow pegasus pony, the other a handsome dark skinned human. Today was a special occasion for the two. Three months ago, they had finally come to terms with their feelings for each other and became a couple. As the two packed the basket with sandwiches and other light foods, they smiled at each other. Their adopted daughter was in the safe care of Rarity and Mike, so it would only be the two of them tonight.

“Did you remember the plates, dear?” Fluttershy asked.

“Got them right here. Did you pack the potato salad?” Drew replied.

“Yes. I guess we’re ready to go to the park.” Fluttershy said.

With a slight grunt, Drew lifted the basket. They most likely had more food than was needed, but this was a special occasion. A romantic picnic and watching the sunset. Both he and Fluttershy wanted the night to be perfect. As the two left the cottage, the sun was just approaching the horizon. The sky was completely clear, having a good friend in charge of the weather team did have it’s perks. As the two approached the park, they started scouting for the perfect spot to set up. Drew spotted a secluded corner of the park that looked to have a great view. The two lovers began carefully setting up their supplies.

As the two sat on the blanket, they began eating and making small talk. Nothing of consequence, just little things like animals Fluttershy had helped recently and projects Drew was working on.

“How’s the work on the folding gun going?” Fluttershy asked.

“Still can’t get the hinges on the stock the way I’d like them. They just seem a bit weak to handle the recoil.” Drew replied “How’s Barry’s back doing?”

“The massages are really helping.” she replied.

“That’s good. I know people with bad backs are always complaining about the pain from them.” he replied.

“How’s the progress on the skin dye going?” she asked

“Better than expected, actually. I’m up to four colors and working on more.” he replied. “Is that puppy going to be ok?”

“Oh yes. That medicine I got from Zecora really worked wonders.” she said.

As the sun began to sink towards the horizon, a pleasant silence fell upon the two, merely content to enjoy the warmth of each other's presence. As the moon rose, a chill breeze floated past the couple, and Drew snuggled closer to Fluttershy. As he did, Fluttershy wrapped her wing around Drew. The two continued to snuggle as the moon climbed higher into the sky. Slowly, the other ponies in the park trickled out, until the two were completely alone. They picked up the picnic supplies and walked back to Fluttershy’s cottage.

After putting everything away, both of them took a seat on the couch. They cuddled together like they usually did in the evenings. However, something felt different between them tonight. It felt, somehow, more intimate. Almost as one, they turned toward each other. A feeling stirred in both of them. One that had been building through the whole three months they had been together. Both of them leaned in, their lips lightly touching. They kissed for several minutes, the intensity building. Neither had quite felt this kind of need for another in their life. An almost, primal need. The kiss lasted for countless seconds, before they finally drew apart, gasping for breath silently. Both stopped and stared into each others eyes, searching to see if the feeling was as great in the other.

“Um, We don’t...” Fluttershy trailed off, not really sure how to express what she was feeling.

“It’s ok Flutters, we don’t have to do anything you don’t want to.” Drew stated.

“Well, lately, I haven’t really been sure about it. But tonight was such a special night...” Again she trailed off. She had no experience with these feelings. But deep within her, she finally felt ready to take this step.

“I don’t want to push you into something you're not ready for. I’ll wait as long as you want to to take that step.” he said, taking her shyness to mean she wasn’t ready.

Fluttershy was at a loss for words. She did want to take this step, but had no idea how to convey it to him. She wasn’t as bold as her other friends. But she did want to do this. Then a thought struck her. She might not know what to say, but she knew what actions would reach him. She pounced forward, catching him off guard in a extremely passionate kiss. She hoped the act would convey her message where words had failed her. When she felt his lips part and his tongue tentatively press against her lips, she knew the message had gotten through.

Drew had sat next to Fluttershy, reading the indecision on her face. He never meant for her to feel pressured into this. But watching her face confused him. He tried assuring her that there was no rush, yet he was feeling a drive within himself. As he mulled over what to do to assure her, she pounced forward, knocking him to his back. She pressed forward, kissing him with an intensity she never had before. Then it dawned on him. She couldn’t figure out how to tell him she was ready. He slowly parted his lips and slid out his tongue, to see if he had guessed correctly. When her lips parted as well, he felt confidant that he was right. But, he still wanted to go slow with her. Both of them had never done this before, but both understood what this step meant.

He wrapped his arms around her, pulling her closer to him. She wrapped her hooves around him as well. He began to let his hands wander over her body as they continued to share the deep and passionate kiss. She may have worn a bit more weight than some of her friends, but she wore it well. As his hands reached her wings, he started running his fingers through her feathers. He knew very well that there was no erogenous zone there, but she did love the feeling of his fingers preening her wings. After several strokes through her feathers, he let his hands wander further down her body. When his hands reached her flanks, he gave them a light squeeze. She gave a slight gasp. They continued to kiss passionately as he allowed his hands wander over her. After almost half an hour, she pulled back from him.

“Would you like to go to my bedroom?” she asked.

“If you’re sure this is what you... want,” he replied.

“I am.” she responded.

He lifted her in his arms. It just felt right to carry her to her bed. As he carried her, she snuggled into his shoulder. Once they reached her bed, he laid her gently on her back. He was determined to make this special for her. He removed his shirt, laying on top of her and kissing her. He allowed his hands to wander over body again. She allowed her hooves to gently explore his. He slowly began to kiss down her neck. She moaned slightly as he did. He reached her chest, nipping lightly and kissing her. He continued further down, reaching her belly. He did know that there was some sensitivity in the more exposed skin of that area. He lightly licked the nearly exposed skin, listening to her moans to see what was making her feel good. Then he reached her nipples. They didn’t share the sensitivity with human nipples, but they would provide pleasure to her. He suckled on them, lightly nibbling on them. She moaned louder. He continued to the next one, doing the same. She continued to moan. He could just smell her arousal at this point.

He continued further down till he reached her labia and vagina. She already had a light glistening of moisture there. As he inspected her, he recognised the fact that she resembled the human female genitalia he had learned about in sex ed class. He really didn’t know all that much about what he was about to do. But for his lover, he would give it his best shot. He started running his tongue over her labia. She started to gasp under his ministrations. He saw her clitoris, and remembered that it was supposed to be very sensitive. He flattened his tongue and licked her. She let out a slight scream of pleasure. He reshaped his tongue and parted her labia with it, licking her under them. She started to squirm a bit, moaning and gasping. He continued licking under her labia and over her clitoris. After several minutes of this, he felt her body tense. A small amount of clear fluid escaped her vagina. He continued, wanting her to feel as much pleasure as she could. He slid an index finger into her as he focused on her clitoris. He curved the tip, feeling for the specific spot inside of her that would cause her even more pleasure. After another several minutes, she tensed again. Another small amount of clear fluid escaped her.

Finally, he was ready to move on with things. He looked over her and admired her body. His arousal was reaching its peak. He unbuttoned his pants and slid them as well as his underwear off. He slowly kissed and caressed his way back up her body. Once he was face to face with her again, he hesitated.

“Are you sure?” he asked.

Her nod told him she was.

“It may hurt at first,” he said as he aligned his penis with her vaginal opening.

She nodded once more and he slowly started applying pressure with it. He didn’t want to go into her too quickly and cause additional pain for her. As the head of his penis entered her he stopped. She moaned loudly in pleasure at her first penetration. He then slowly allowed himself to enter her more deeply. He felt when the head of his penis reached her hymen. He warned her as he pushed ahead and broke it. She winced in pain, gasping as her hymen broke. But she nodded to him to continue. As the full length of his penis was pushed inside of her, she looked up at him and smiled. She was fully a mare now. They took it very slow at first, so as to keep it from hurting her very much. She moaned loudly as he started to move inside of her. He may have been slightly smaller than an average stallion, but this was her first time. As the pace slowly increased, he leaned down and kissed her, with more passion than before. This was a turning point for both of them. They had taken their relationship to a much higher level. As the pace increased, both of them could feel their orgasams comming closer and closer. Both were inexperienced, so it didn’t take long for either of them. Once Fluttershy’s orgasam was reached, she let out a very loud yell. Drew couldn’t hold his back any longer and did as well. He pushed his penis fully into her and came. Knowing that she couldn’t get pregnant from him made the decision easy.

They laid in bed for the rest of the night, just holding each other. When the sun rose, both realised it was the dawning of a new chapter for their relationship. And both of them felt it had been the right thing to do. Drew was the first to awaken. He hated the idea of leaving her alone in bed, but he felt obligated to go make breakfast for them. Luckily for him, by the time he was done she was still asleep. He went back into the bedroom and woke her up with a kiss.

“I made us breakfast.” he told her.

“That was very nice of you.” she replied.

They quickly showered together and sat down to breakfast. Yes, the events of last night had changed things for the two of them. For the better.
