Later that night, the stallion once again enters the dream realm first, and gains the host privileges that come with that. This time, he is slightly better prepared. Instead of a swirling void, he now appears on a small grassy hill topped with a single oak tree, a small river running at the base of the hill. "Well, this is an improvement already."

As he says that, his nymph fades into view next to him. She looks around, surprised. "...wow. You got the hang of this quickly, didn't you?"

"It does appear that way." He lies down in the shade of the tree and pats beside him. "I was thinking I would try a few things tonight, but in the meantime, I was going to say you should be the one asking questions tonight."

She blinks. "...you...want me to ask you questions?" She joins him, looking at her surroundings in an attempt to keep her eyes off him. "...I-I don't know where to begin..."

He blows a stream of air at her ear. "Well, I find that looking at the subject tends to help. As I recall, you do enjoy looking at me..."

She shivers, shyly turning to him. "...I-I do enjoy that..." She bites her lip, thinking a bit. "...w-well...I suppose I have one question..." She recalls the circles she saw before, quickly scratching them into the ground before them. "...why these? I mean, you could've done something to make light...or maybe even fly..." She taps them with a hoof. "...why Res? Why Blink?"

He smiles as he thinks back, a small screen showing a young Rhino appearing on the grass in front of them. "Well, teleporting was actually the first spell I managed to cast once I learned about runes. It's what got me my cutie mark, despite not being able to do anything other than levitate for years. It was a crude piecing together of the spell at that point, but I improved it. Now it is my own, a means to accomplish something with the same results but through different means." The screen shows his colt self looking through books of strange symbols. "Res was actually the first spell I created without anything to base it off."

The picture shows a slightly older version, not come into his height yet, but quickly becoming fluffy. "Some kids in my school pulled a prank on pretty much everypony that went down a hallway that day. They greased it up. Well, in short, many ponies fell for it, but it gave me inspiration. Over the next few years I learned more about both physics and runes until the primitive form of Res came to be." Yet another slightly older version is shown, his horn glowing as a less complex circle is shown on a slanted surface, stopping a ball he had set rolling above it. "They are just a part of me. To your examples though, I've shown you I can do a few things with light, as for flight though... Yeah, having a fear of falling doesn't exactly inspire one to leave the ground too often."

She flinches, embarrassed. "...oh...I-I didn't think about that..." She clears her throat, glancing away. "...w-well, I'm glad you're adaptive like that..." She sits there a moment, trying to think of her next question.

He watches her as she thinks, a smile forming on his face as he thinks of something. He suddenly disappears and reappears above her head, about as small as a tennis ball, but still keeping the proportions he had. He lands in her mane and pokes his head down so that he is looking into her eyes upside down. "What are you thinking about?"

She squeaks, startled by his shrunken state. "...Rhino?" She grabs him in her forelegs, smiling brightly. "You're so cute!"

He laughs as she hugs him. "All according to plan. I swear, you make anything smaller and suddenly it's adorable." He sighs happily as he enjoys being held.

She giggles, playfully nuzzling the top of his head. "Naturally, more so since you're the size of a newborn..."

That particular fact dawns on him. "W-well, that wasn't my intention, but I guess this does match your description of changeling baby sizes... So... umm... did you have another question... or did you want to fawn over me some more?" He taps his hooves together as he averts his eyes, a little embarrassed.

She tilts her head, curious. "...dated?" She shakes her head blushing brightly in embarrassment. "...v-various circumstances, you say? May I hear an example of one?"

"I'm afraid it's not that interesting... I think jobs were the most frequent reasons." He curiously pokes his head into one of the holes in her hooves. "What other questions do you have for me, love?"

She squirms, pulling that hoof away. "...R-Rhino, that tickles..." She puts the hoof on top of his head and starts rubbing, distracting him while she thinks. "...were you more an athlete or a scholar, in high school? And does using Res like that make you stronger?"

He sprawls out on his stomach from her rubbing his head. It takes him about a full minute to respond. "Scholar, though that probably isn't the word some might have used." He thinks about her second question. "I guess technically skating around using Res gives one more exercise than walking. I know it at least convinces me to go more places because I know it's fun to get there and that i get there in a decent amount of time."

She smiles, giggling a bit. "I suppose that makes sense..." She sits down, placing him in the grass in front of her. "...maybe I could convince you to exercise with me, this weekend?"

He narrows his eyes at her. "Exercise in what way? I know you have a least a few different definitions of it."

"A race around the park." She pulls him up against her belly. You should be able to handle that, right? And who knows..." She smirks playfully, narrowing her eyes as well. "...maybe the winner can request something of the other..."

He Blinks and appears on her muzzle. "Is teleporting cheating?"

"Of course." She rolls her eyes, lifting him off. "And so would interfering with the other during it, so no Hi-Res."

As he floats there in her magic, his thoughts turn to the reward for the winner. He blushes appropriately. "Umm, on the subject of the... reward... might I make my request now? Just so it's out there?"

She blinks and nods slowly, curious. "...sure, love...what would it be?"

He taps his tiny hooves together again, not meeting her eyes. "Well... you know how last time... we did that bit of roleplaying... and you had me take the lead? I... well... I was wondering if we could do roles again... but maybe you take the lead this time?"

She stares at him a moment before blushing brightly. "...a-are you sure? I-I mean, I'd do it, but..." She glances away, embarrassed. "...I-I like it when you're in charge...i-it's a change from how I normally am...y-you know, with my troops?"

Still levitating, he seems to try and make himself even smaller by folding in his hooves. "I know you like it... a-and I like it too... but I just thought, you know... I thought it would be interesting to see how it would be different if you took the lead..."

She nods, putting a hoof to her chin. "...I suppose that makes sense..." She giggles, shaking her head a bit. "...if I'm to be honest, I was wondering if it's because you were secretly a sub..."

He sticks out his tongue as he returns to normal size next to her. "Bleh, no. I've never been one for all that 'Master' stuff. It would just make me feel awkward if I was on the receiving end and ashamed if I was on the giving end." He nuzzles her neck.

She sighs, gently kissing him. "...I'll be sure to remember that..." She taps her chin, thinking a bit. "...any other turn-offs in roleplaying, for future reference?" She nibbles his neck and licks where she nips him, trying to see if he'd like that.

His fur on his spine sticks up as he shivers, lying down on his side with his back up against her. He looks up so he can see her face. "No violence, I'm not into hitting in any sort of way whether doing it or receiving it. Frankly, if I ever accidentally hurt you, I think it would kill my sex drive for days just from the guilt."

She smirks, hugging him tenderly. "That's fine by me. I'll have to get rid of my dominatrix outfit, of course, but I'm sure i can find somepony to buy it." She pauses a moment before adding "That was a joke. I don't have that kind of outfit."

He breathes a sigh of relief. "Ok good, I was a little worried. I'll take the apron over leather any day." An apron appears and falls in the grass beside them. "Cheeky subconscious..."

She giggles, standing up and grabbing the apron. "For you, and your subconscious..." She slips it on, tying the string securely around her waist. "...I'll indulge this fantasy." She flips him onto his back and straddles his stomach, giving him a lidded gaze. "...so, Rhino...enjoying the view?"

His eyes are wide as he takes her in. Nodding slowly he licks his lips before uttering a single word. "Lovely..." One of his hooves starts to raise, but he pushes it back down with the other one.

She giggles, taking his forehooves in her own. "...don't be shy..." She moves them to her hips, blushing brightly. "...you're free to touch..."

He doesn't make any advances, simply moving his hooves to her hips and slowly moving them up and down her sides. He seems to relax as he simply gazes at her, his eyes soft. Not a word comes out of his mouth, he simply smiles.

Gel smiles kindly at him, leaning down and gently kissing him. "...this is perfect...just being with you like this..." She sighs, closing her eyes. "...if only there was more time in the night for this..."

He kisses the tip of her nose. "I don't think we're nearly done for tonight, dreams can last any amount of time you know. If that doesn't convince you, think of it this way: we have every night for the rest of our lives. An extra part of the day that we can spend together however we want."

She considers this a moment, a smile slowly growing on her lips. "...you're right...we have a whole future together..." She rests her head underneath his chin. "...more than enough nights to do whatever we want..." She smirks, certain he wouldn't see it. "...and I mean anything..."

A tiny book appears next to his head as he writes something down in it. Once he finishes he pops it out of existence again and rests a hoof on her back as they lay there. "I am very curious what you had in mind when you said that..." His tongue sticks out and flicks the tip of one of her ears.

She squirms on top of him, blushing even more. "...Rhino...t-that's ticklish..." She traces tiny circles in his fur, trying to muster up her courage. "...I...I was just thinking...w-we might be able to have some...fun...in here...i-if we're unable to, before bed..."

He nods as he realizes her point. "Good idea, times alone like this will probably invaluable once the foals come into our lives." He summons the tiny book again, double checking a few things in it before dispersing it again.

She looks up, watching this with no small amount of confusion. "...Rhino? What is that book you keep pulling out?"

He blushes as he realizes he is caught. "Oh, umm... well... It's just... It's something I like to call... the plan. I was just adding something to it..."

Her ears perk up and she moves to look down at him, eyes full of curiosity. "...the plan?" She smiles, gently booping his nose with a hoof. "...may I hear what it is, love?"

He squirms under her gaze. "Erm, it's one of those things that's easier to show than tell... Do you want me to show you?"

She nods, smiling eagerly. "Of course, Rhino. As long I don't have to move." She nuzzles his chest, reveling in the feel of his fur. "...you're just too comfortable..."

"My thoughts exactly." The ground beneath them slowly sinks until it gets just below the level of the river. The water partially diverts and flows around and under the couple. As Rhino starts to float on his back, the land rises again, causing the water to flow back into the river, carrying the stallion and nymph with it. The two begin floating downstream.

She looks around, surprised at the change of scenery. That's not to say she didn't like it - she was actually feeling elated at being on water like this.

He quirks an eyebrow at her. "What's got you all giddy?"

She looks at him, sheepishly smiling. "S-sorry, I've never been on the water, before..."

He nods in recognition. "Oh right! You never did come swimming with me when you were Angel... I get that it was because of her heating tendencies, but what's your excuse?"

She grimaces, turning her head away and muttering her answer, barely loud enough for him to hear. "...I-I never learned how to swim..."

He smiles at her. "Oh, is that it? Well we can fix that easily!" He leans back in the water, half dunking his head in. "We have a nice lake, we just need to put some time in..." His voice trails off as something occurs to him. "Umm... I don't suppose you would want to get a swimsuit for this... given your enjoyment of clothing?"

She giggles, sitting up on his waist. "...sure...would you do the honors?" She motions to her apron, winking playfully at him.

He blushes heavily at the thought. "I-I meant in the non-dream world... I-I could give it a shot though..."

Her cheeks flush bright blue in embarrassment. "...o-oh...m-my mistake..." She rubs a foreleg with her opposite forehoof, unsure of what to say. "...well...this is a dream...m-maybe we should just enjoy it..."

He looks confused. "I... don't know if you were answering my question or ignoring it..."

"...what I mean..." She leans down, gently kissing him. "...is that I'd love that...especially if it'll make you blush like that..."

The apron dissolves into little white wisps of smoke as he blushes even more while they drift. "Umm... S-should I put it on you or just... leave it for you to put on when you want?"

"I don't know..." She sits up once more. "...I think, since this is a dream..." She raises her forelegs over her head, smiling coyly at him. "...that you'd prefer me like this..."

He eyes gaze upon her, roaming up and down her form. "...Good... point..." His hindlegs shift as his blood threatens to divert itself.

She giggles, looking at the river around them. "...so...how do I begin?"

He's confused again. "Begin what?"

"Swimming, of course." She tilts her head at him. "...what else could I have meant? Building that house?" She motions to a building downstream.

He tilts his head backwards so that he sees the house, though upside down. "Oh! That's the plan actually." He looks back up at her. "Ready to see it up close?"

She blinks in surprise before grinning in excitement. "Absolutely!"

A willow tree comes down the bank, its drooping leaves forming a curtain that they soon pass through, revealing the scene beyond. The house, two stories but still fairly wide and certainly at least double the square-footage of their current one, sits in a sizable yard with a number of trees. As the river runs next to the house, they stop floating and remain in place as the front door opens and a number of shapes come out.

The first is what looks like an almost fully grown silver fox. He scampers out into the yard before stopping and looking back at the door. The second is a young dark green colt, his mane the inverse of Rhino's own mane and tail colors. One can see that he has a few pointed teeth, his horn has a slight upward curve to it, and his coat seems to be thick and shiny, but he otherwise appears normal for a young unicorn. The next four shapes are revealed at once, two of them being Rhino and Gel themselves, happy and perhaps a few years older. An Older Specter can be seen, still in his favorite spot perched on top of the stallion's head. The smallest shape is riding on top of Gel's back, a light aqua colored filly with what appear to be dragonfly wings. She doesn't appear to have a horn to speak of, but this doesn't stop her from giggling as her father plays fondly with her mane. Lastly, the lithe form of Selena is seen at the rear of the group, watching them all with a small feline smile.

Gel watches all of this in awe, holding her hooves over her mouth. "Rhino, that's...oh, it's almost perfect..." She bites her lip, looking over at him nervously. "...d-do you mind if I...want three foals, love?"

He chuckles as he looks on the scene fondly. "Hey, we ended up with three pets didn't we? Might as well make it a thing. Why don't you design this one?"

She blinks, caught off-guard. "...um...o-okay..." She thinks, wondering how to do that. "...well...I'd like our firstborn to be a filly...pink and magenta all over...she'd be as bright as her father, and unicorn, just like him..." She giggles, winking at him. "...how does that sound, Rhino?"

He smiles and gestures to the scene, where the filly in question appears on her father's back. She looks for all the world like she'd stay up there all the time if she could. Her green eyes sparkle as she reaches over to play with her baby sister. "I wasn't sure where the changeling genes would kick in for her, so I didn't put any for now. I figure it'll be a surprise when it happens."

She squeals in delight, hugging him tightly. "Thank you! Oh, it's just perfect!"

He hugs her back as they gently beach on the shore on the opposite side of the river a small distance away from the scene. "Then it looks like we have something to work for now... Of course, I won't mind if the foals don't turn out exactly like that. It was just me taking guesses after all." He kisses her deeply, breaking it after a few seconds. "I'm sure it will be wonderful, no matter the details."

She smiles softly, gently kissing him. "...so am I, Rhino..." She rolls over, bringing him with her. She looks up at him, blushing brightly. "...so...a-anything you'd like to do before we wake up?"

He leans down and nips her neck before whispering in her ear. "You know me, I tend to prefer to just see where things go naturally..." He nips a spot just below her ear.

She coos softly, wrapping her forelegs around his neck. "...s-sounds like a plan..."

He smiles and captures her lips with his own. He takes one forehoof and gently strokes it down her side where he knows the edge of her wing is. The happy scene in the background fades as the sky darkens and stars appear.

She looks up at him, her eyes wide in amazement. "...w-wow...t-this is so...romantic..."

He adds a final touch, a small number of fireflies silently flying around. "There we go. Just us out here." He kisses her chest, making sure not to hit her chin with his horn.

She gasps in surprise, her face practically glowing with her blush. "...R-Rhino...t-that's sensitive..."

He replies back with a teasing tone. "You say that, but I don't think I’ve found a spot on you yet that wasn't sensitive to things like this." He kisses her chest again, right on the center of one of her chitin plates.

She giggles, pushing on the top of his head. "S-stop, my r-rings are ticklish..." Even as she says this, her tail curls around her body, gently stroking along his belly. "...I-I believe ponies are the same...a-around their ribs..."

His eyes shoot open and he flinches away from her tail at the touch. He seems to be fighting off some chuckles as he stretches himself as high as he can above her to avoid the tail.

She smirks at this, wrapping her hindlegs around his waist. "...it seems as if I'm correct..." She leans up and kisses him, tickling him with her tail at the same time.

"Mmph!" His voice is muffled by the kiss as she tickles him. With her legs wrapped around him, he is unable to do anything but squirm and stomp his front hooves as the assault, though his lips seem to be content to continue meeting hers.

She giggles, leaning up to his ear. "...just to let you know...this is just a taste of me being in control..." She squirms her hips a bit, blushing brightly at what she feels poking her. "...and...y-you really seem to enjoy it, big boy..."

"You know you enjoy it too." He takes advantage of her positioning and nips her neck a few times in quick to make her gasp. He then uses his size to roll them onto their sides, him laughing all the way. Once they are lying in the grass, he uses his newly freed forelegs to bring her in close as he smiles at her. "Your move."

***Warning, Sensual Content.***

She rolls him onto his back, sitting on his stomach. "...sure...one question, though..." She glances behind her, eyeing his stallionhood yearningly. "...does it count if it's in a dream?"

His pride twitches mightily at this statement as he knows exactly what she means. His face burns bright enough to where you would think it would give off light. "U-umm, w-well, I-I suppose not... if we didn't have this connection... I'd probably dream about... that... before it actually happened..." He thinks as much as he can with that image in his mind. "I mean... these are our mental interpretations, so the sensation is probably not as strong as it will be... so we still have something to look forward to right?" He makes a decision. "Do... do you want to?"

She blushes softly, nodding. "...y-yes...I-I do..." She slowly grinds herself against him, her expression quickly turning seductive. "...but what I'd like most...is for my big stallion to take me...make me his mare..." She leans down, touching noses with him. "...to take charge of this situation..."

His eyes widen as he nods, his blush fading slightly. "Ok... but... one last question... front to front, or back to front?"

"Your choice, love." She giggles, winking at him. "This is your dream, after all...you could have me any way you want..."

"I think... I want to see your face while we do this..." He gently rolls them over so he is on top again. He shifts his hind legs back while looking down at her, his nervousness still betrayed by his eyes, but he pushes on despite it. He pulls back and drags his length down her stomach, until it rests just below her teats and above her flower. He looks back up at her, silently asking with his eyes.

She bites her lip and nods, just as nervous as he is. ...go ahead, love...I-I trust you...

He lines up his pride with her treasure, slowly sliding it in. His breathing gets faster as he goes further into the tight space, before he finally hits the small barrier. He looks up to see how she is doing.

She whimpers quietly, her eyes squeezed tightly shut. She pants quietly, not used to this sensation. ...g-gently...p-please...

He gulps, steeling himself for what he is about to do. With agonizing slowness, he increases his force against the barrier. He feels it warping as he pushes more, the warm wet walls squeezing around the small part of his pride in her. Finally, the thin wall gives way and he suddenly goes in another inch from his pushing against it. He instantly looks up at her as he feels something warm flowing against his length.

She cries out in pain, tears forming in the corners of her eyes. I-I'm fine. J-just a sting. She cracks an eye open, looking up at him. ...just...d-don't move, yet...o-okay?

He nods as he leans down and nuzzles her neck, trying not to move his hips. Just say when.

She smiles weakly at him, trying to focus on him, instead of the pain. Slowly, it ebbs, eventually leaving her with the feeling of him inside of her. ...o-okay...I...I think I'm ready...

He kisses her gently as he starts to move again. A long grunt escapes his lips as his pride works into her virgin passage. Slowly, bit by bit, he goes deeper into her. Both of them are breathing heavily through their noses, new to the sensation. He softly continues going forward, feeling her every heartbeat.

She squeaks as he hits her deepest depths and lets loose a small groan of pleasure. ...I-I think that's my limit... She looks between them, and her eyes immediately snap wide open. ...oh, dear Luna...y-you're not all the way in...

He cringes, even as he grits his teeth from the feeling of her gripping his most sensitive part with her own. Sorry love... I think it's just the proportions of both of us... He squirms a bit, groaning from the feeling again. So... what do we do?

She gulps, her cheeks flushing with color. ...j-just...do what you did when we roleplayed...y-you know... She bucks her hips upwards, gasping as it causes him to pull out a bit. ...m-move your hips...

He mutters as he starts to pull back out of her, the air cold on his now wet shaft. "That's... not what I meant..." When he is almost completely out, he start back in again, still slow and gentle. He pushes until he again hits her deepest depths. Some part of him groans in disappointment for not being able to hilt himself in her, but he knows there's nothing he can do. Regardless of that part of him though, everything else is screaming out in pleasure at their joining. He smiles down at her as he pulls out slowly and starts to push back in with a tiny bit more force.

She moans, her eyes fluttering closed from the sensation. She bites down on one of her forehooves, trying to muffle her noises. ...s-so good...so full...oh, Rhino...

He looks down and notices her muffling herself. Pleasure clouding his mind as he continues going back inside, he leans down and pulls away her hoof with his own mouth. Remember what I said... about your noises? He pants as he reaches her depths again and starts pulling out. He leans down and gathers her lolling tongue with his own as their lips meet. Make all the noise you want...

She moans into their kiss, wrapping her forelegs around him and pulling him even closer. ...m-more...f-faster, love...please... Her hips start moving in time with his, her back arching in ecstasy.

He obliges, going in slightly faster with his next pump. He bumps into her depths and just uses the bounce to start on the way out. His mind is in a constant fog of pleasure as he moves. Gel... His kiss increases in ferocity as they continue.

She returns the passion, feeling the familiar tightening in her belly. R-Rhino...I-I think I'm close...

Me... too... It's... too good to last long right now... Hen continues his pumping, still slow, but definitely faster than he had been when they started. He makes sure to always do full strokes, going as deep into her as possible, and leaving the part of himself out that he couldn't fit, before drawing almost all the way out. He feels his own pressure mounting. Soon...

She hardly has the chance to think before she breaks the kiss, letting out a cry of bliss as she topples over the edge. She hugs him tightly, her hind legs holding him close as the waves wash over her.

With her holding him inside her, he feels every convulsion as she rides out her climax. This quickly sends him past the brink as well, his pride pulsing to match her as it begins unloading his seed into her. The combination of her convulsions, plus the feeling of her fluids all trying to get past his pride as he stuffs her, causes his own climax to last longer than usual. He makes smaller pumps in and out of her as he unloads more seed into her.

She coos softly, trying to pull her gaze to him. ...so warm...so good... She tries to kiss him, but is so out of it she pecks the corner of his mouth. ...t-thank you, Rhino...

He doesn't reply for a time as they both slowly finish riding out their climaxes. He stops pumping but stays inside her as he looks down at her lovingly. You were wonderful... you know that?

She blushes brightly, finally able to focus on him. ...s-so were you... She smiles softly. ...if that's only a taste...I have to wonder what the real thing feels like...

He nods. Something to look forward to... but we can always do things in here if waiting becomes too much for you again... Something occurs to him. Although... won't you be a virgin every time we dream? I don't think I want to put you through the pain every time...

...well, I like thought of it being the first time every time...but... She giggles, winking at him. ...there's a plus to being able to control your dreams...

I suppose that's true... you could change that if you wanted... His pride pulses insider her again as he shifts to get more comfortable. Well... at least this should sate your curiosity for a while right?

...oh, most definitely... She looks around, noticing the dream shift about them. ...I think we're about to wake up, Rhino...

He simply smiles at her. Well, might as well stay like this then...

She sighs, closing her eyes to open them seconds later. She blinks, realizing that she's still looking up at him. ...Rhino? A-are we awake?

The slow-waking stallion cracks open his own eyes. Seeing the changeling below him his eyes slowly widen. I... guess we rolled around? He glances down in between them as he shifts his hips. Ok, phew, we aren't, well, you know...

Thank goodness... She gently kisses him, blushing softly. ...I didn't want to miss our first time...

Definitely...
