I woke up with a jump. "Aaah!" I flung my arms out, nearly punching Marble in the jaw. “Oh god, I’m sorry!”

Marble let out a short sigh. “Falling again?”

“Every night! I just--”

“Peter, it’s fine.” She got up and walked towards the door. “You need to wash, you smell like sweat and blood.”

I grew an incredulous look. “I- oh- yeah...that’s...pungent.”

Marble nodded thoughtfully. “Can you go up to your loft?”

I rubbed my head, my headache nearly gone. “Yeah, I can make it. Same place as usual?”

Marble nodded once again. “I’ll make sure the water’s hot.”

“Thanks..I lov--” Before I could finish Marble kicked the door to the silo closed. “...Alright….” I was left alone, scorn from my morning formalities. I didn’t blame her, the crusty feeling in my hair and the smell of dried blood and sweat was rather disgusting.

I hurried up the steps to the loft, grabbing a new outfit and a towel before heading down and out towards my hidden little washing area. I had found a place surrounded by boulders, and hidden away from the main house.

I waited for Marble, getting undressed and throwing my things atop a rock to keep them dry. Marble started calling for me from outside my little enclosure. “Peter, you ready?”

“Yep I--” I stopped myself as not just Marble, but Maud squeezed through the gap. “Uh...so...hi.”

Maud stared down at my groin as Marble unloaded a pair of buckets from her harness. “You said it would be bigger….” Maud stated, attitude as cold as the winter air.

“It’s cold alright!” I grumbled, picking a rag out of the bucket and starting to wash myself. “Marble why did you bring her?!”

Marble looked at Maud, her gaze unwavering as I tried to turn away. “She said she wanted to. I figured you wouldn’t mind.”

I let out a defeated sigh. “It’s fine...I know how this is gonna work…. I mean, I’m not about to complain...but it takes some getting used to.”

I took my time, washing my body as Maud and Marble sat a foot away and watched. I tried to ignore them. “He’s strong….” Maud stated suddenly. “Could he do it?”

Marble looked to her sister. “Two, yes...three, maybe.”

I let out a worried groan as I turned away. I felt like a seal being circled by sharks. “So uh...what does that mean?”

Marble walked over and rested her chin on my leg. “How many mares can you handle? Be honest.”

“Heaaaugh” I let out a strangely scared noise, ignoring her and washing myself off. “I uh...not gonna worry about that right now.”

Maud joined Marble, resting her chin on my other leg. “He’s nervous.”

“No shit!” I stated dryly. “Go figure I’d feel a little scared around you two! I’ve seen you break rocks with your damn hooves!” I threw my rag over my shoulder. “It’s fucking terrifying being naked around you….”

Maud stared lazily at me. “Why?”

“I don’t get it either.” Marble noted, looking up at me. “Why do we make you nervous?”

“Are you scared you couldn’t handle us?”

“Is it because you’re small?”

“He is rather--”

“Fucking hell!” I jumped upright, kicking my bucket over. “Stop it! I’m not small, I’m not scared, I just wanted to bathe in peace!” I huffed angrily, tempted to crawl out of the rock enclosure and hide in my loft.

“But you are small.” Maud said, once again unfeeling and unemotional. “It’s okay…it’s not--”

I took a deep breath and grabbed my shrunken member. The cold air was making it rather difficult to keep it up, but a splash of warm water brought me to full.

Marble smiled softly while Maud just stared. “Oh...okay….”

I let out a sharp huff. “I told you...I’m not small.”

Maud closed her eyes and nodded slowly. “Okay….”

I glared angrily at Maud as I sat down, resuming my wash. The sisters walked around and sat before me. “Seriously?”

The sisters nodded in tandem, Marble vastly outpacing Maud. “Seriously.”

Maud got brave, walking to me and pressing her muzzle against my tip. “Hey, what the fu--”

“Hmm...weird.” Maud stated, not removing her face from my groin. “May I?”

I was stunned, left staring like an idiot. “Are you asking--”

Marble scooted closer. “She’s asking to tas--”

“I figured! Is that normal!? I mean- this is creepy shit!”

“I’m going to….” Maud warned, slowly opening her mouth.

I watched with a mix of horror and excitement as she held her open mouth before my tip. I let out a soft grunt as she dipped forward taking me into her mouth, pressing her warm tongue against the bottom of my tip. I took a shallow breath as she took her time, sampling my flesh. “I uh...alright...I’m okay with th--”

I heard it first, a loud, kssschu, breaking the silence of the dull grey morning. I felt an amazing crunch just around the bottom of my head, Maud’s mouth closing like a bear trap and biting down hard on my head.

“Mother fuck!” I screamed, jumping back, my tender flesh scraped along Maud’s teeth. I fell backward, landing on a pebble and falling into a pained heap. I curled up in the dirt as my cries of pain filled the air. I felt my eye water, my right eye tearing up as I tried to cover my hurt penis.

Marble and Maud walked over. Maud taking the initiative. “I’m sorry...that was sudden.”

I let out a long, drawn out, groan. “Maaaarble...just go...just go...please just go….”

The sisters looked around for a bit before walking out. I took my time, tending to my new wound and finishing my wash. Once clean I gingerly put my boxers on and got dressed.

I felt terrible, my head thumping lightly and my cock now bitten. But I had work to do. I finished up, leaving the buckets and old clothes in the rock hutch.

I loped towards the silo and found a pickaxe. I needed to get to work before anyone else could say anything. Pickaxe in hand, glove on, safety glasses on, I was ready to go. I ran out to my previous work area and found my previous night’s blood stain.

I ignored it and reeled my pick back, slamming it down against the bare rock and tearing a chunk of stone out. I reeled back, continuing the motion and reducing the boulder into rubble. I just needed to get to the center, grab whatever ore or crystal that was inside, and move on.

“Peeeeeeteeeer!” A shrill voice call out, “Wait for me!”

I stopped my work and turned around. Pinkie was bolting over, smiling as she ran after me. She skidded to a stop, bumping into the boulder and smiling at me. “Hello there...can you move?”

Pinkie stare up at me with a wide smile. “Good morning, are you better!?”

I moved Pinkie out of the way and reeled my pick back. “I’m working, that’s all I can ask for.” I slammed my pick down, tearing apart the stone once again.

Pinkie started jabbering and twitching as she watched me work. “Uh...Petey, can I see that?”

I stopped working and stared down at her. “I’m kind of using it.” I reeled back and slammed my pick down once again. Pinkie jabbered once again, her leg kicking out and smacking into a small rock behind her. “Are you alright?”

Pinkie stopped her kicking. and shook her head. “Can I see that, I really, reeeeaally, want to see it.”

“Just let me finish this up.” I reeled back, ready to strike when my pick suddenly lost all the weight. I ended up throwing the pick over my shoulder, slamming the empty handle into the stone. “I- what the fuck?!”

I looked around, spotting Pinkie holding the head of my pickaxe. I could just stare, jaw slackened like an idiot. “See, I knew it!”

I tossed my tool aside and yanked the metal head from her hoof. “How the hell did this happen?”

Pinkie was beaming proudly. “See, you always gotta trust the Pinkie sense.”

I tried to forced the broken pick back together, failing and throwing the broken tool into a heap. “Piece of crap.” I turned to the boulder and lifted my boot.

Pinkie started jabbering and sputtering. “Wait!” She yelped.

I ignored her and slammed my foot down against the boulder. Pinkie grabbed me by my belt and yanked me away. I felt my foot slip out of my boot as she tumbled me.

I rolled away from her and stood up. “What’s the- oh….” i looked back to my boot, a bright white crystal skewering the toe. “Uuuuh….”

Pinkie grabbed me by the collar. “Always, always, always, trust the Pinkie sense.”

I stood on my good boot and yanked my torn one off the crystal. “Apparently...what the hell was that?”

Pinkie walked over to the rock and broke a piece of crystal off. “Hmmm, pure quartz…. That’s worth a lot!” Pinkie tossed her hooves up, throwing the crystal into the air. “-oh- tail twitchin.” She shoved me out of the way as the crystal landed before me. She stared at the crystal before frowning. “You have the best worst luck I’ve ever seen!”

“So it would seem.” I went to pick up the pick head and try to dig out the crystal. “Anyways thanks for you--”

“Leg wobble, knee jerk, ear twitch.”

“Wha--” I tripped and fell gut first onto a rock. I rolled off it, winded, and laid in the dust.

Pinkie trotted over and sat next to me. “Are you okay?”

I held my stomach and tried to keep from crying from the pain. “Great...perfect.”

Pinkie tapped her hoof to her chin. “I’ve never seen bad luck like this! Did you ever meet any zebras?”

I took a deep breath and sat upright. “I don’t want to talk about it.”

“Already!” A rough voice called out. “The Pies were right, you do get hurt like crazy!” A pale red maned pony trotted briskly over. “What happened now?”

I took a moment to spot the nurse’s hat. I was both thankful and horridly depressed as she lifted my shirt up. “I’m fine...it’s--”

“You’re bleeding a little.” The nurse stated, pulling something from her bag and putting it on my stomach. “You, what happened?” She asked Pinkie as I stared into the sky.

“He tripped.”

The nurse let out a short, angry, huff. “Of course he did. You know I told them it wouldn’t be worth hiring me for one human, I told them I wouldn’t get enough work, but boy was I wrong….” She finished up by placing something under my back. “There. Hey, would you mind helping me?”

Pinkie smiled wide before leaving my view. I was left staring into the sky as I was dragged away, sliding over a sled of some sort as the ponies pulled me away. The nurse cleared her throat. “How long have you been up?”

“Like...two hours….”

The nurse groaned. “Oh yeah...this is gonna be great.”

Things got quiet as I tried to fall asleep, to make the pain pass faster. I was unable and simply sat there until we reached the house. I was unloaded and forced inside. The nurse introduced herself and made me rest for the day.

I stood in the hall of the Pies’ house, arguing my ability to keep working. “Igneous I just hit a load of quartz, at least let me go finish!”

Igneous shook his head. “Nope, girls’ll take care of it. You go rest yourself up.”

If there was one pony I could never argue with, it was Igneous. I walked up to my loft and flopped down on my bed. A shrill bouncing sound rang out as the stairs up to my loft squeaked.

Pinkie hopped up, rolling into my room and staring at me as I laid sadly in bed. “Hi!”

I buried my face in my pillow. “Hello Pinkie...did you need something?”

“So you’re Maud’s and Marble’s and Limestone’s special friend?!”

I let out a strange groan, laughing slightly at my own misfortune. “Apparently?”

“Soooo, you like Pies...I’m a Pie!”

“Look can you not, at least not right now...I just wanna lay here and be useless.” I moaned as Pinkie walked over.

“Ooooh, don’t be a party pooper!” Pinkie cheered as she crawled into my bed and curled up atop my back. “You’re just a little unlucky!”

I let out a long sigh as Pinkie warmed my back. I tried to relax as the poofy mare snuggled against me. I spent the rest of the day just laying in bed and being generally useless. Pinkie kept me company until she switched places with Marble.

Then Marble swapped with Maud.

Then Maud with Limestone, until finally night fell and the entire family of Pie sisters joined my, wrapping around me and overwhelming my twin bed.

I had no idea what they were doing, but my slight depression made me more than willing to be piled on by a group of sympathetic warm bodies.
