You had pushed back the anxiety behind who this mysterious admirer was for quite some time, but it all came back to you full circle. Whoever this mare was, she was waiting outside at Sugarcube Corner right at this moment waiting for you. Vinyl had already started playing and it would be silly to go up there and tell her that you made it in front of the entire crowd. If your memory of her gigs was correct, she usually played for an hour or two and then took an hour break, so you would have plenty of time to sneak out to Sugarcube Corner and be back in time to meet her in her dressing room for her break.

You took a deep breath and as you walked your way through the cold night, you noticed that there was no moonlight glowing against the streets of Ponyville, making it quite dark and difficult to navigate. Luckily, Sugarcube Corner was relatively close to the club that Vinyl performed at, so you were able to find your way towards it simply using the street lights and other various landmarks.

The absence of the moon made the stars in the sky glisten even brighter than usual, and you couldn't help but stare up into the sky and smile at how beautiful they were. That, in addition to the quietness of the empty Ponyville streets, did a decent job of relaxing your nerves.

However, it wasn't enough to completely eliminate them. The fact that a secret admirer was stalking you wasn't the cause. Rather, the issue of who the pony actually was what unnerved you most. You had a sneaking suspicion that it would be Twilight. In fact, you were nearly convinced that it was her. Her ruse on the way back from Sweet Apple Acres seemed to you like she was hiding something, and if that weren't enough, you still hadn't forgotten about the small tussle the two of you had when you first came to Equestria. If your understanding of girls was in any way accurate, you knew that her attraction to you would not easily be extinguished.

Your second guess would have to be Applejack. Her hints back at the ranch certainly weren't subtle, and you remember leaving feeling that if you had stayed any longer, she would've dragged you into her barn and bucked you all day long whether you liked it or not. Hell, it could even be Luna for all you knew. Since nearly every pony you knew hit on you in some way or another since you've been here, it was hard to tell.

"Psst!"

You snapped out of your deep thoughts and realized that you were about three feet from trotting right into the side of Sugarcube Corner. Your heart rate picked up from the sudden realization that someone was watching you as you quickly looked towards the direction in which the sound came from. The dark night, the mysterious character lurking in the shadows and the strange urge that you should simply go back in fear of being assassinated reminded you of a similar scenario that happened not so long ago. The only difference now was that you had no knife to defend yourself.

Now that you thought of it, what if somepony wanted to assassinate you? You certainly were a high valued target, and your death would certainly spark a juicy terrorist plot.

"Get over here, you daft colt, before somepony sees us!"

Your hoof was quickly grasped by another and you were pulled deeper into the alleyway behind the building.

"What the heck is going on?! Who the hell are you?!"

Your futile protests went on until you found yourself illuminated by a nearby street torch. The mystery mare, whose face was covered by a hooded cloak, backed off and stood still a few feet away from you after you (quite forcefully) pulled your hoof away from her.

"Look, I know you have a thing for me, alright? It doesn't mean you have the right to follow me around and-"

Octavia pulled back her hood back and straightened her mane, revealing her beautiful face that was magnified by a slight amount of makeup. The shock value cut you off mid-sentence and you simply stood there with an open jaw. You were more surprised that it wasn't somepony like Twilight or Applejack than you were surprised that it was Octavia, but the realization made your head spin with questions.

"Look, Alex. Let's just make this easier on both of us and cut to the chase... Agreed?"

"I... Okay..."

The both of you knew that standing there aloof with hidden emotions wouldn't solve anything, and it would make Octavia's confession pointless.

"So, first question: why me?" Octavia stripped her cloak from her back and took a heavy sigh.

"Is there ever a reason with things like this? It's just something I feel about you..." Octavia looked down at the ground nervously, but you gave her props for being able to express such intense feelings.

"But... Vinyl..."

"I know, okay? I know." She appeared as if her heart was about to burst. "I always feel something when I'm around you that I haven't felt in a long time. And it's been getting too much for me to hide it any longer. You're very handsome, and..."

You began to blush heavily from the compliments.

"I- I'm sorry if I'm embarrassing you..."

"No, no, it's okay. But... Can I ask you something else?"

"I suppose now's the best time." Her tone was somewhat sarcastic.

"I mean, what's your goal here? I won't lie to you, you're very beautiful and your personality is very attractive, but certainly you realize I can't just leave Vinyl. She means too much to me and I would never forgive myself if I did anything like that to hurt her..."

"I know!"

Octavia's teeth pressed together and a tear rolled down her cheek. Her retort was loud enough to be heard from three blocks away. You had a guess as to how many emotions she was dealing with at the moment, but it didn't hit home until you saw tears.

"You're just... Amazing, and I would be so happy if... But-" She sniffed and wiped a tear away with her hoof. "There's no way that I-"

"Octy..." The sight of someone as amazing as Octavia breaking down in tears was almost enough to make you start sobbing as well.

"No, Alex... There's nothing you can do. I-" She began to turn and closed her eyes tight. "Just..."

Before you could say anything else, she backed away from you and prepared to run away. She was crying heavily and her mascara started to come off with her tears. However, your quick reaction allowed you to stop her by her shoulder and turn her back around before pulling her close and holding her head in your chest.

She let loose. Hard. Even though her sobbing was muffled through the fur on your chest, you could tell by the way she was holding on to you and the way she was crying that she was releasing emotions that she had bottled up for quite some time. Even if embracing her wasn't appropriate given the current situation, you couldn't let her stand there and suffer. You started to get more and more choked up as you thought more about what she was going through.

"Octavia, I'm so sorry..." You had to bite your lower lip to keep from breaking down as you ran your hoof through her mane to try and calm her down.

"Look..." You tilted her head up, revealing her makeup-smeared face and a large black smear on your fur. Her lip was trembling and her eyes were like orbs of water. It took every fiber of your being not to pull her close and hug her again because of the pity you had for her.

"Y-yes?"

A large exhale escaped your lungs. "I normally wouldn't do anything like this... But your feelings seem to be sincere, so... If something happens with me and Vinyl, we'll talk, okay?"

"W-what? So you... Like me?" It was probably the cutest reaction she could've made and it made your heart ache for her.

"Of course I like you, silly." You used your fur to help clean up some of the smeared makeup on her face. "You're very pretty, smart, and you have this elegance to you that's very attractive."

"Oh stop, you're just saying that to make me feel better..."

"I am not, promise." You managed to get her to smile which made you feel absolutely triumphant given the fact that she was so upset earlier.

"So... You'd consider me?"

"If Vinyl and I end up dropping off somewhere along the road... Then yes, we'll talk. But until then, I have my hooves tied, Octy. I mean, I really love Vinyl more than-"

She held a hoof to your mouth after backing away from your embrace. "You don't need to explain, Alex. I understand."

The nearby bell tower chimed, breaking the dense silence that had surrounded you the entire time.

"Goodness, is it eleven already?!"

Nice dodge there, Octy. You thought to yourself. "Yeah... I should probably get back to the club. And don't you have rehearsal early in the morning?"

Octavia stood there and stared at your feet for a while in silence instead of replying. She made one last sniff and a rub of her nose.

"Thank you, Alex... For at least considering..."

"Don't mention it..." She turned to walk away as you stood there in the dim torchlight. You spoke up so that she would hear you since she was almost within yelling range.

"Seriously, don't mention it... Please?"

"Goodnight." She walked away from the torch and slipped into darkness with a small smile on her face.

It didn't take very long until you were left by yourself in the lonely alleyway. The whole ordeal went by so fast that you almost thought it wasn't real. Your heart rate finally started to calm down and the warmth it provided you faded away as the chilly air came back to pester you.

It wasn't until a minute or two afterwards that you realized the weight of what just happened. Octavia just confessed her love for you. It wasn't a joke, either. Those tears weren't fake. There was a leaky faucet nearby that you decided to use to help clean the smudge from your chest where Octavia was letting loose. Thankfully, as you wet your hoof and rubbed on the stain, it started to come out somewhat easily.

Slowly but surely, worst case scenarios began popping up in your head. If you told Vinyl... No, you shouldn't tell Vinyl. That was out of the question. Sure, it would win you some honesty points with her, but it would come at the cost of betraying Octavia's trust and starting a shitstorm that would only end badly. You started thinking about how Octavia would've handled it if you just let her down gently. However, the sincerety of her emotions was too much for you to ignore. Plus, you couldn't lie to yourself. Octavia was a very beautiful mare and has always been a close second to Vinyl in terms of attraction.

Breaking up with Vinyl to get with Octavia was out of the question. The two of you had grown so close over the last few months, and to throw that away, along with a promising future with her, would be the stupidest thing you've ever done. You were honest with your answer, though. If something happened with Vinyl, Octavia be would probably the only other mare you would even consider. It wasn't because mares like Twilight or AJ weren't worthy, but they just didn't have that charm that invaded your subconscious and told you silently that they would be there for you forever and ever. It was a charm that Vinyl Scratch displayed every day, and you were being honest with yourself when you realized that same charm was starting to become noticeable in Octavia.

Of course, the whole thing could backfire if you cheated on Vinyl with Octavia instead of just breaking it off, which was something you would never even consider.

After rubbing all of the smudged mascara off of your fur, you sighed heavily and turned back toward the club, eager to see your marefriend.

"What the buck have I gotten myself into..."

However, a slight rustle in the trash bin behind you sparked your attention just before you got out of earshot. Such a trivial thing wouldn't have ordinarily bothered you, but since you wanted to make sure nopony was eavesdropping on such a delicate conversation, you cautiously approached where the sound was coming from.

"Hello?"

The rustling stopped, but it was followed by a tiny *poof* that made you ever the more suspicious. You looked down into the trash pile to try and see what was in there, but after seeing how dirty and grungy it was, you decided to keep your distance. It was probably just a rat or a stray cat or something, anyway. Although, you couldn't blame yourself for being too cautious, all things considered.

You released your suspicion with a sigh and turned back towards the club.

"Good job, Vinyl! That was sick!" Cloudchaser followed Vinyl into her dressing room.

"It was all right... I guess." Vinyl sunk into her sofa at the other side of the room and sipped on a martini that had just been made for her.

She sighed and then made her way towards her. "Vinyl, are you still worried about Alex?"

"How could you tell..." Vinyl sarcastically remarked as she took a large sip out of her glass. "I don't care if he doesn't show up, I'm more worried about if he got mugged or killed in the street or something..." She held her head in her hooves and groaned.

"Girl, you worry too much. Seriously." She sat down beside Vinyl. "Stop. Stressing. Nothing bad is going to happen to him. Ponyville is a safe place. And even if something bad happens, he can take care of himself."

"I know, I know. I just..."

Cloudchaser stole a sip of her martini, but Vinyl was too distraught to notice or care. "You care about him. There's nothing wrong with that, but don't drive yourself crazy over it."

She leaned back against the couch and folded her front legs over her belly, closing her eyes and exhaling.

"At least be grateful. Not every mare gets a stallion as handsome as-"

Three loud knocks came at the dressing room door and the two mares perked their heads up.

"Yeah?" Vinyl called out.

The door opened and a bulky stallion stepped in. He was wearing a suit and tie with a pair of aviators.

"Miss Vinyl, I found this guy creeping around the dressing rooms, said that you knew him." He pulled you into the doorway by the fur of your neck, a bit too roughly for your preference.

"Hey! That hurts!" You tried to squirm out of his grasp, but it was too strong.

"Alex!!!"

At first, you thought that the bodyguard, or whoever he was, either pushed you back or whacked you upside the face. You flinched for the impact and prepared for an immense amount of pain, but after feeling yourself fall back onto the ground and then opening your eyes, you realized that Vinyl had tackled you out of excitement and was hugging you tight. She nuzzled her muzzle into your chest fur as you smiled and hugged her back.

"I see you're happy to see me." You said with a giggle.

Vinyl suddenly backed away from you and gave you a playful yet hard punch on your shoulder.

"Ow! Hey, what was that for?"

"For making me worry, you idiot... I thought something happened to you..." She gave you a stern face like a mother would give to a child after running in the street during rush hour.

"Yeah, Vinyl was sitting here crying and worrying this whole time." Cloudchaser walked over to the two of you and snickered.

"Hey! I wasn't crying..."

"Awh... Were you really that worried about me?" You pulled her close to you and rustled her mane a little to tease her.

"Shut up..." You could see her cheeks turn red as you and Cloudchaser laughed.

"Well, I'll leave you two lovebirds alone." Cloudchaser trotted by the two of you on the floor. "Don't take too long, Vinyl. You're back on in fifteen."

"Kay."

Vinyl looked up at her as she made her way out and kept her eye on her until she closed the door behind her. Once it was, she surprised you by immediately leaning down and planting a passionate smooch right on your lips. The sudden intimacy made your length grow a little as you heard her magic start whisping around her horn. The sound of the deadbolt in the door locking perked your ears up in surprise and excitement. You knew then that whatever Vinyl had planned wasn't going to be "PG".

She moaned gently into your mouth which was either a sign that she was enjoying it, or a sign that she was trying to turn you on. The kiss broke and you were left below with a fast beating heart and heavy breathing.

"Goodness... That was nice." You complimented her. She really was the best kisser you've ever kissed.

"Hey, is that a cutie mark I see?" Vinyl finally noticed as she got off of you.

"Y-yeah... Long story. I'll explain later."

She licked her lips. You were about to do the same, but the sound of her magic came back. That was shortly followed by you being picked up in the air.

"Whoa, hey!" You struggled a little bit and flailed your legs.

"I know something that will be even nicer..."

Vinyl trotted over to the couch with you still in her magical grasp. Before you could get another protest out, she lowered you onto the cushion that was still warm from her sitting on it previously.

"Relax... Just sit right there and I'll take care of you."

"H-hey don't you have to play in a few minutes? I mean not that I miiiinnnddd!!!"

You were interrupted by Vinyl's lips suddenly kissing the underside of your shaft. You looked down at her beautiful magenta eyes that were staring right back at you from behind your shaft as she continued to give little pecks along your length, making it quickly grow in size and hardness. She was on her knees servicing you out of nowhere and you didn't dare tell her to stop since she had already turned you on this much.

You gave up protesting, as if you didn't want it in the first place, and slowly sunk into the couch while spreading your hind legs to make sure Vinyl had easy access. Once she saw that you were as hard as could be, she licked all the way up from your balls to your flared head. However, you didn't expect her to instantly take you inside her mouth once she reached your tip since she usually liked to play with you first.

"Ahhhhh! God damn, that feels good..."

She looked up at you with your cock in her mouth and giggled a little before continuing. You could feel her tongue drag and tug at the bottom of your cock every time she bobbed her head up and down, which was coupled with the slick warm edges of her mouth squeezing on you because of your girth. You had to give her credit for being able to swallow such a huge rod without letting her teeth touch you.

"Mmmphh..." She moaned under her breath as she continued sucking you off.

It took you a minute to realize why she was moaning, but you eventually looked down to see that she was rubbing her marehood with her hoof. By the speed of which she was doing so, you could tell that she wanted you badly. You could also tell by how deep she was going. You could feel her tight little throat wrap around your cock each time she took you in. It was fine at first, but as her blowjob became more and more intense, you could feel your orgasm coming right around the corner.

She would occasionally suck on your head and swirl her tongue around it quickly, which brought an extra tingly sensation to your rod, but while stroking your shaft with her hoof so that your pleasure levels would continue to rise. Her hips were now thrusting forwards slightly on their own as her hoof rubbed her pussy passionately. In addition, her other hoof had begun stroking the base of your massive stallionhood while she blew you which was aided by the large amount of saliva that was escaping from her mouth and soaking your shaft. The burning sensation in your abdomen was only growing worse, and Vinyl could tell via your throbbing and your constant grunts and moans.

She pulled you out of her mouth, but didn't stop pleasuring you one bit. She continued stroking your shaft while lowering her head and swirling her tongue around your balls. She kept staring up at you with those sexy eyes, which didn't help lower your urge to cum all over her whatsoever.

"God, you're so big..." She half moaned and half spoke in a voice that would've made you melt if you weren't already about to blow your load.

Her hoof stroking quickened and your hips begun to thrust up and down in synch with her hoof-job.

"Come on... Cum already! I don't have much time le- Ahhhhh!!!"

Her impatience was cut short by your sudden full body orgasm that came so quickly that you didn't have time to warn her about it. Your legs locked up and you bit down on your lip hard as your hips thrust upwards towards her face. In your heated moment of passion, you grabbed a hoof full of Vinyls hair and pulled her head down onto your cock again, and you managed to enter her mouth one last time before your large spurts of semen erupted from your stallionhood. Your head shot back against the back of the couch and you closed your eyes shut while trying not to yell out from the pleasure.

You expected her to pull you back out of her mouth, but oddly enough, she kept it in and let out low moans. You could see her throat bouncing up and down as she tried her best to drink every bit of your cum, but even so, it still filled her mouth to the brim and flowed out of the side and down her chin.

She slid you out by backing her head off of you, leaving several drops of seed dripping down the underside of your shaft. With a small *pop* from your flared head and the remaining semen in her mouth escaping and trickling down her face, she gasped for air. Her mouth was covered with sexual fluids and thin lines of saliva and cum stretched from the tip of her lip to your head.

"A-are you okay? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to-"

"It's- it's fine..." She barely replied with closed eyes and shortened breaths.

She picked up a line of cum on her chin with her hoof and then sucked on it a while before getting up and trotting to her sink to wash everything off. You were left on the couch with a dick that was still rock hard from stimulation, even after your orgasm.

You couldn't help but to look over and ogle over Vinyl's plot as she bent over and washed her face. If Vinyl wasn't on her job right now, you'd gallop right over there and-

She caught you staring at her ass by looking at you through the mirror. "Sorry, babe... I don't have time to do anything else. I'll make it up to you next time, okay?"

"Y-yeah... Sure..." You were still somewhat delirious from the intense orgasm.

She finished cleaning the semen and other bodily fluids off of her before looking back over at you and chuckling a little.

"By the way, you should probably stay in here until that goes away." She gestured to your crotch and trotted to the door, but came to you and snuck in a quick kiss on your cheek before she left.

"Tease." You stuck your tongue out at her jokingly.

"Perv." She returned the gesture with a wink and a grin before putting on her stage shades and closing the door behind her.

Trixie grumbled under her breath as she transformed back into her normal body and dug her way out of the trash. She certainly wasn't the most gifted unicorn in town, but she at least knew how to use basic level shapeshifting spells. Granted, turning into a soda can wasn't particularly difficult to begin with.

"The Great and Powerful Trixie should not have to be subjected to such filth..." She whined as she cast a couple of quick spells to clean the grime off of her fur.

"However..." She straightened her luxurious mane.

Now that she thought about it, digging in the Sugarcube garbage for unused coupons ended up paying off. Not because of the sake of the coupons, but because of a certain stallion with a certain powerful unicorn horn that was rumored to hold a certain kind of rare magic. She would be lying to herself if she said that she wasn't jealous of him in many ways. Good looks, magical talent, and a unique crystal horn that would make Princess Celestia's horn look like an ordinary one. It was also hard not to look at him without feeling a bit of attraction towards him, and after seeing what just went down in front of her, she realized just how far some ponies would be willing to go in order to get a slice of him.

All that Trixie needed to hear was "rare magic" to make her attention spike, and it hasn't declined one bit since. She could still hear Twilight's words ring inside her head from her run-in with her earlier that day: "Some sort of ancient magic that I've never seen before..." If it was new to Twilight, that meant that Trixie wanted it. Any lead on how to one-up Twilight was always Trixie's number one concern. And now, as she rubbed her hooves together and thought up a plan, it seemed as if her opportunity to have it as her own had just been presented to her on a silver plate.

"All right, Sir Alex, let's see what secrets you have underneath that special little horn of yours..." She said with a mischievous grin.

Author's Notes:

I realize this was shorter than previous chapters and I apologize for that. I got in everything that needed to happen and when I was done, I felt that adding anything else would've made it seem like it was going too fast. I originally tried to add some filler in just to hit 5k but after looking over everything afterwards, it made the chapter seem boring and monotonous, so I took the filler back out.

TL;DR, some chapters won't be as long as some others (I.E: This one), and again I apologize for that.

If there are any grammatical or spelling errors, please send me a PRIVATE MESSAGE and let me know so that I can fix them asap. Thanks for reading! <3
