It took a heck of alot longer than I expected to clean up the chaos that was that little candy store, and even after spending about an hour cleaning, I don’t think we managed to get everything. Even alicorn magic could do so much against the absolute chaos inside that building. We did the best that we could though, and with the help of my aunt we managed to put out the fires, clear out the smoke, get ponies unstuck from the walls and clean up all of the broken glass, chocolate, and fluids that I really hoped was lemonade.

The next trial that I was faced with after that was deciding whether to just leave and let the owners of the place send us the bill for… whatever the buck happened here, or tough it out, calm the owners of the place, and the other customers, and try to enjoy the rest of the night with my coltfriend. To be honest after cleaning up that mess and calming down more than one crying stallion (the big babies…) I was just ready to call it quits and go back to the castle. Maybe instead of a chocolate-themed date, the two of us could just get a couple of pizzas made and we could sit around in our room and make a night of that.

Surprisingly, Ares was the one that convinced me that this date could still work.

Though he was just as dirty and chocolate-covered as me from helping everypony out, my little human quickly became a whirlwind of activity. With a determination that I hadn’t seen in a long, long time Ares managed to calm down the owners of the store and the customers (though more than one of them still had this thousand yard stare that kind of made me uncomfortable), he got chairs and tables put back to where they were supposed to go, he got the whatever candy was left back on the shelves, and he even managed to calm my horrified aunt down somewhat. Somewhat.

I don’t know what the hay happened here, or what was the thing that started it, but I swear to the gods above that my aunt Luna looked like she was about to die from embarrassment. She couldn’t look anypony in the eye, her wings twitched every few seconds like she was ready to take off into the air, she kept fiddling with her hooves, and she looked sad. Sad and disappointed.

I wasn’t even sure that what happened was in any way her fault since nopony was looking at her angrily or demanding that she leave or telling me anything really, but if you would have looked at my aunt you would have sworn that she had just killed a pony and set their house on fire. In fact, she looked so downtrodden and so sad that if I wasn’t so busy dealing with all of the nonsense and horse apples around me I would have given my aunt the biggest and warmest and lovey-doviest hug that I could while telling her that everything was going to be alright.

But here was no time for that. Hugging my aunt until she felt better could wait for a little bit. I had a date with my little human going on and there was nothing that was going to stop that; not even me. Even though it seemed like the fates themselves were trying to ruin our night we were going to have this date. Even if it killed us we were going to bucking enjoy ourselves!

So both my little human and I hardened our hearts fixed and solved everything that needed fixed and solved to the best of our ability. Our outfits had the chocolate and everything else cleaned off via magic, the chocolate machines were warmed up and readied once again, and the customers and the staff were seated and talking and looking a heck of a lot more calm than they had went we came into the building. Though, a few ponies had insisted on leaving, and the smell of burnt cotton candy still filled, the air the atmosphere was still good enough for our date.

And so Luna, Ares, and myself found ourselves sitting around a chocolate fountain with an assortment of foods, just ready to enjoy ourselves for five minutes without anything blowing up or coming in here and trying to blow the place up. Like I said I didn’t know what happened, and at this point I wasn’t even going to ask. All I was going to do was sit back, nuzzle against my coltfriend, and eat chocolate until I couldn’t eat chocolate anymore!

…..For Faust’s sake…

With a relieved smile my human clapped his hands together. “Alright! Now that we got all of that out of the way why don’t we start eating, huh?”

I smiled to myself, nuzzling my human’s side as I looked down at the bounty before us. Pretzels, marshmallows, fruit, candies, everything and anything imaginable was there ready to get dunked in chocolate.

I was about ready to dunk my head into the fountain and start drinking it straight from the tap (I was stressed and I like chocolate; don’t judge me) when a waitress trotted over to us with some plates and silverware in her hooves. “I’m sorry that we couldn’t bring these out to you sooner, Princess,” the young mare said with a slightly tired smile.

I smiled right back. “Don’t worry about it,” I told her, taking everything out of her hooves and laying it out on the table with my magic. “In fact I was surprised you were able to situate everything as fast as you did.”

The waitress’s smile became slightly nervous. “Well… The owners wanted me to thank you for all of your help in fixing up the store.” Her smiled became a bit more at ease as she looked over at Luna. “And they also wanted to thank you for coming in to help when you did, Princess Luna. If you weren’t there I’m sure that everything would have been a thousand times worse.”

Luna, who hadn’t looked up from her lap since Ares sat her down, mumbled something that I couldn’t quite catch.

The waitress’s smile widened a little bit more. “They also said that even though it was nice that you offered bits for the damages they couldn’t take your money after all that you did to help.” Reaching into her apron the young mare pulled out three golden tickets. “Here, if you ever want to come back just show your server these you’ll eat for free.”

Ares and I exchanged looks. Though we were both a bit shocked at this sudden and unexpected turn of events, that didn’t mean we didn’t have smiles on our faces at that bit of welcomed news.

“Thank you very much,” I said.

The mare shook her head. “No, thank you for not only helping us out of some major technical difficulties but staying here even when you had every reason to demand a refund on your reservation.” She was about to say more when a shout came from across the room. “Excuse me, I have to see to another customer. I hope you three have a lovely evening and don’t hesitate to call if you need anything else!”

Ares and I smiled, waving at the waitress until she was out of sight, then our gaze turned toward Luna. Though I wasn’t a mind reader (or at least I wasn’t using any of the spells that would let me read other ponies minds at the moment) I knew that my little human had the same burning question that was consuming my thoughts.

“…So… Luna… You mind telling us what happened?”

…Alright, I know that I just said that I didn’t have any desire to know what the hay happened here, but that was before we all got free chocolate! Now I had to know!

Luna sank a little bit more into her seat, her shoulders slumped and her ears pinned against the sides of her head. “We arrived a bit early so that we could scan for any dangers and perhaps acquire a table for us to sit at,” Luna mumbled. “But upon arrival we witnessed one of the cotton candy-making devices exploding…”

I bite my lip and once again had to resist the urge to get up and hug her.

Luna fidgeted in her seat a bit more, looking sadder by the second. “We attempted to aid the owners but everything got worse and worse until…” She sighed, finally looking up at me and my human. “We apologize, Ares, Mi Amore…”

I found myself scooting my chair toward my aunt, who looked close to crying, until I was sitting right next to her. Luna sniffled as I wrapped my wing around her and pulled her close. Ares, the sweet man that he was, scooched on the other side of her with a worried look on his face.

“What the hay are you apologizing for, Luna?” I asked gently, nuzzling my aunt’s cheek. “It sounds like what me and Ares saw would have been a heck of a lot worse if you weren’t there to help.”

Luna sniffled, leaning against me. “We should have dealt with the issue before thou came through that door.” I could see tears start to form at the corner of my aunt’s eyes as she took a shaky breath. “Thou honored us with thy invitation to this confectionary shop and We swore to thee that thy date would be a joyful one… An oath that we hath obviously broken…”

I nuzzled my aunt again and my wing tightened around her.

I think I understood now. Since I asked Luna specifically to go on this date with us she felt like it had to be as perfect as perfect can be. With everything happening she couldn’t just go and start “wooing” us like she wanted, so this was probably the next best thing for her, and if she showed us that me and Ares could relax and enjoy ourselves around her that might even have made the wooing easier for her when she started down that road.

She must have been crushed when she saw the two of us step into the candy store like it was and how it looked with her yelling and trying to put out the fires as best as she could...

Retracting my wing I pulled Luna into a proper hug. Though I could feel ponies staring I ignored them as I rubbed my aunt’s back. “None of that was your fault, Luna,” I assured. “You didn’t break your oath or ruin our date or anything like that.”

Slowly, I felt Luna’s hooves wrap around my middle loosely so that she could return the hug. “Thou should have asked for somepony else…”

I made a disapproving noise. “Don’t you dare say that, Luna! Ares and I probably would have had to go back to the castle if you hadn’t stepped in and did something.”

My aunt’s hug tightened just a bit and I heard her sniffle again.

It broke my heart to see my aunt like this. If I had known that this date meant that much to Luna I would have insisted that she came with us, I would have offered to do her mane, I would have bucking done something to show her that I cared and that I wanted her to come with us!

I knew that she had been a little… weird the last couple of days, but she was still my aunt and I still loved her to bits. She was a wonderful aunt and one of the best ponies I knew, and she didn’t deserve to feel this horrible because of something that she couldn’t control!

Looking over my shoulder I raised an eyebrow at Ares, hopping that he’d be able to help me get Luna out of her funk so we all could enjoy the rest of this evening.

I could see the gears turning in my human’s head as he looked down at me and Luna, his face scrunching up thoughtfully. I nudged my head toward my sniffling aunt, silently begging him to hug Luna or say a few kind words or something.

Nodding, my human looked over at the chocolate fountain, then back at us, then back at the fountain. His face scrunched up a bit more before a proverbial light bulb appeared above his head. Now smiling, he stuck out a finger and put it under the fountain, coating his finger in chocolatey goodness, before reaching over and bopping Luna right on the nose.

A surprised snort/whinny escaped Luna’s throat and she reeled back into her seat as the warm chocolate hit her nose nearly knocking me out of my chair as she scooted away, her back legs kicking. Her eyes crossed and her nostrils flared as she tried to look at what my Ares had done to her. Frantically reaching up she poked at the dollop of chocolate with a hoof before she reared back and sneezed.

I couldn’t help but snort at the sight, covering my mouth with a hoof. Though it didn’t feel right to have a bit of a laugh at Luna’s expense I just couldn’t help it. The look of surprise shock on her face, the way that her eyes crossed, the way that she was trying to lick at the chocolate right now was too much. Covering my mouth with both of my hooves, I made it a point to kick Ares’s shin as another giggle forced its way out of my throat.

Luna’s wings flapped at her sides as she just sat there, frozen after she licked at the chocolate for a second or two. She was like that for a few seconds, long enough that I was worried what Ares just did might have done a bit more harm than good. That worry grew when I saw Luna start to shake, and I was about to pull her into another hug, when my aunt starting to laugh.

“Hehe… He…Haha…Hahahahahahahaha!”

The sadness and hurt on my aunt’s face vanished as she broke into a fit of giggles and chuckles and snorts, a big old smile coming to her face. The sight brought a genuine, heartfelt smile back to my face, which turned to a bubbly giggle, which then turned into relieved laughter.

I could see ponies smiling all around us as Luna and I laughed, and boy was it nice… to laugh I mean. It felt like I hadn’t had a good belly laugh in forever, and I couldn’t help but enjoy the experience. Neither could Ares, apparently, since his smile grew and he crossed his arms as he sat back and watched us.

He knew that we both needed a good laugh, I realized, warmth filling my chest as I looked at my human. Sweet Faust above am I going to do things to you when the two of us get home…

Still laughing, Luna pulled me into a bone crushing hug. I returned the hug as our laughter turned into chuckles which turned into giggles, the two of us holding each other as our laughing finally died and we were just sitting there hugging each other.

“Do you feel better, Luna?” I asked, my throat a bit sore from the laughing, nosing my aunt’s cheek.

Luna looked up at me with a smile. “Aye, We feel a good deal better, Cadence,” she said, her voice light and giggly.

Breaking the hug she looked over at Ares for a moment before opening her hooves wide. Without missing a beat my Ares got out of his chair and wrapped my aunt in a hug.

“Now quit with all of this sad shit, Moonbutt,” he said as he patted Luna on the back. “We’re supposed to loosen up and have fun here for Christ’s sake.”

Luna nodded, quickly breaking the hug and sitting back in her seat, looking far better than she had a few minutes ago. “Thou art right Ares,” she said, looking down at the table with a bit of pink on her cheeks. “We were just so concerned with making sure that thy night was a lovely one and when…”

Puffing her cheeks out, my aunt giggled again, once again sticking her tongue out to try to poke at the chocolate still on her nose. “But never mind that! As you said this is a night for merriment!”

Using her magic Luna picked up a stick pretzel and dunked it into the fountain. Quickly pulling it out, she held the now chocolate pretzel, which was still dripping with chocolate, up into the air as she finally managed to lick the dollop of chocolate off of her nose.

“So, We shall cease being the pooper of parties and we shall commence with the merriment!”

Smiling, both Ares and I grabbed ourselves pretzels and gave them a chocolate dunking and held them up with Luna’s. Though the chocolate was getting all over the table and Ares’ was getting all over his hand not a single one of us cared as we looked at each other.

I could see the comfort and happiness in both of my human’s and my aunt’s faces. The atmosphere wasn’t tense or awkward or strained like it had been. And it wasn’t just our table; every single mare and stallion no longer looked nervous and angry or like they had just seen some horrible or nasty stuff. It felt like I was actually sitting around with my loved ones having a wonderful time in a wonderful place with a whole bunch of wonderful ponies.

And sweet Faust above did it feel wonderful.

My smile widened even further when I saw that many of the other customers in the shop had taken pretzels of their own and had them held up high into the air.

“To merriment!” Ares yelled.

“To merriment!” Luna shouted.

“To fun!” I said with another giggle.

Ares, Luna, and I tapped our pretzels together, getting chocolate everywhere, and took great big bites out of our treats. All around us I could hear my subjects doing the same and because of it I darn near started laughing again.

Humming, I closed my eyes and slowly chewed my treat, my hum quickly turning into a groan as I experienced the chocolate-y goodness, a feeling that I had not felt in what felt like an eternity.

Oh holy horse apples has it been WAY too long since I’ve eaten any chocolate, I thought, my wings twitching as I popped the rest of my pretzel into my mouth. Momma needed this…Ohhhh did momma need this…

“That taste good, Candy?”

I lazily cracked open an eye to see that my little human had once again moved his chair over so that he was sitting next to me with his half eaten pretzel still in his hand. Still chewing my pretzel, I plucked his pretzel out of his hand with my magic and popped that bit into my mouth.

“I can see why this place needed a reservation, Hon,” I said through a mouthful of pretzel (definitely not spraying chocolate and crumbs everywhere), bumping his side with a wing as our sides touched. “This chocolate is so bucking good!”

Chuckling, Ares wrapped an arm around me. “Well good. I was worried that you weren’t going to like it.”

“You could have offered to take me to a landfill and I would have been happy as long as you were with me, Honey,” I said without missing a beat, looking over all of the other dunkable goodies in front of me.

Ares’ smile widened a little more as he wiped a bit of chocolate sticking on the corner of my mouth and licked it off of his finger. “I’ll have to remember that next time. It’ll save me the headache of getting a reservation.”

Even though I rolled my eyes I snuggled into his side a little more as I picked up a strawberry and gave it a good dunking. I levitated it up to my human’s mouth smearing his lips with the chocolate-y goodness. Ares, surprised, drew back and looked at me. Me, the picture of innocence, batted my eyelashes at him and tried once again to stuff the strawberry into his mouth. This time though my human was ready, taking a bite out of the treat.

Chewing, he looked thoughtfully at the fruit. “You know, when you’re right you’re right, Candy. This here is some good ass chocolate.”

Giggling yet again I levitated the rest of the strawberry down toward my mouth and ate it right up. My eyes closed as the chocolate once again took me to a magical, wonderful place, making me squirm in my seat as I bit back another groan. Licking my lips I pulled down my human’s head and captured his lips with mine.

Yep, this is easily the best thing I’ve taste today, I thought, licking my human’s lips as I stroked his cheek with a hoof. I wonder if I could convince the owners of this place to give me some of this chocolate to go. I’d LOVE to see if it goes well with any other part of my Ares…

While I wanted to take the kiss a little further I couldn’t help but notice that my aunt and more than a few of my subjects were staring. With that in mind it was with a heavy heart that I broke the kiss and once again snuggled into my stallion’s side.

“Yes… yes it is, Honey,” I murmured, reaching for a little square bar of mint.

The next couple of hours were a haze of chocolate and conversation. After we had all gotten our fill of chocolate-y goodness (Luna and my Ares getting their fill way before me) we started walking around and mingling with the other customers, who in turn got up from their seats and started talking to the other ponies around them.

It was nice just walking around and talking to my subjects like I wasn’t a princess, and I was surprised with how quickly my little ponies got over the fact that they were talking with a princess and started to talk and joke around with me. In fact the only one that was getting looks of awe and wonder well into the night was Ares, who was referred to as “the cuddle monkey” more times than I could count.

While it had been easy for me and Ares to go and talk to the ponies around us Luna had a bit of a tougher time. I had to all but drag her out of her chair and toward a group of ponies, and when I did get her there it took a bit more coaxing to get her to do more than awkwardly stand there and look at the floor.

I had seen my aunt talk in front of hundreds of ponies at a time without flinching and whenever she walked out in public her head was always held high and she was more regal and elegant than most mares could ever hope to be. But she was a princess then; she knew it and so did her little ponies. But right now she wasn’t a Princess who ruled over millions of ponies and who could raise the moon with the utmost of ease. Right now she was being treated like a normal mare, a peer, and she didn’t know how to respond.

I saw this and did my best to ease my aunt into it, and soon she was talking and joking and telling stories with everypony else. In fact, after hopping over that initial wall, I noticed that my aunt almost seemed to enjoy the company and telling her tales and laughing without having a stick up her butt, and I was glad. Good company, good food, and good conversation would do her good just like it would do me and Ares some good.

As the night progressed the owners of the shop somehow got their hooves on some bottles of wine and soon we had drinks to go with our chocolate and snacks, which eased any still tense ponies and livening up the atmosphere even more.

Ponies talked, ponies became friends, one mare ate so much chocolate that three mares had to rush to the bathroom to fret over her while she puked her guts out, we all laughed, Ares and I danced, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen my aunt Luna this happy to be around ponies that she didn’t know. I wouldn’t say that the night was magical. No, it was more… soothing, almost healing.

Though we stayed late it felt like we left way too soon, Ares, myself, and Luna, all of us a little drunk and covered in chocolate, bid our new friends goodbye and made our way back to the castle.

“I can’t believe that that one mare went and jumped into that fountain,” Ares said while Luna and I giggled.

“I still think that Mr. Taffy should have let those ponies get some of the chocolate off the poor mare before dragging her away to get cleaned up,” I commented, rubbing myself against my human as we walked.

Luna snorted. “Methinks that Mrs. Taffy had no issue with her husband carrying her away as he did though,” she said in amusement.

My eyes widened. “Wait, that was Mrs. Taffy? I thought that her and her husband were getting along in the years.”

I had to contain another burst of giggles at the thought of a forty year old mare hooting and hollering like a twenty year old and hopping into that fountain like that. It almost made me want to go back to the candy shop to see just how crazy it was going to get there. Hopefully the place would still be standing in the morning.

Luna nodded, her mane sparkling in the moonlight as she smiled. “Aye, We watched as she hopped into the fountain ourselves.”

My aunt stumbled and Ares had to reach over and grab her to stop her from falling over. In his attempt to save my aunt from eating cobblestone my tipsy coltfriend nearly lost balance himself and I was forced to steady him with a wing.

Boy I bet we all look silly, I thought with another quiet giggle. Thank goodness no one’s trying to fly or use magic.

Thanking my human, Luna turned to me. “And what is wrong with a mare that does not act her age, Mi Amore?” Closing her eyes and puffing her chest out, my aunt lifted a hoof up into the air. “Look at us; We are thousands of years old and neither my sister or myself act like wizened hags now do we?”

My human snorted, nudging Luna. “Well I’ve always thought that Sunbutt would be the kind of girl that liked to knit behind closed doors…”

Without warning the mental image of my aunt Celestia sitting on a rocking chair knitting a sweater with a little blanket wrapped around her entered my mind. And I bucking lost it.

The streets echoed with my laughter as I threw my head up into the air and laughed like I had never laughed before. Ares and my aunt must have been thinking along the same lines as me because not two seconds later all three of us were laughing our heads off. I don’t know how long I just sat there, my thoughts a little clouded because of the wine, but eventually I found myself in my human’s lap with my aunt squeezed in right next to me, the two of us with our heads on either side my Ares’s shoulders as he rubbed our backs.

I smiled and closed my eyes. “That was a fun night, Honey,” I said, nuzzling my human’s neck. “Thanks for taking us.”

“Aye, t’was a most splendid evening,” Luna murmured, sounding half asleep.

I chuckled, rolling out of my human’s lap. “Come on, let’s get back to the castle before anypony sees us sitting in the middle of the street like a bunch of crazy ponies.”

Luna smiled at that, nuzzling my human’s cheek before carefully getting to her hooves and making her way over to me. “Mi Amore? Might We speak with thee for a moment?”

I raised an eyebrow when I saw her nudging her head at my human and shaking her head. Ares must have seen the weird little gesture too since he just chuckled.

“Why don’t you two have yourselves a nice little talk while I just sit here for a couple of minutes?” He waved us away with a hand before leaning back and staring up at the sky. “Go ahead, I’ll meet you back up at the castle in a little bit.”

My aunt’s smile turned grateful. “We thank thee, Ares.” She turned back to me. “Come, Cadence, there is much for us to discuss.”

While the business-like and serious look that Luna was giving me would usually have a couple of alarms sounding off in my head, I’d like to think, after all that we did together tonight, I’d like to think that I knew my aunt a little better. That, and I was a little too drunk to get all that worried about anything really. So I simply nodded and let her lead me down the street.

For a long while Luna didn’t say a word to me as the two of us made our way back to the castle. If I had to guess she needed the time to collect her thoughts; Faust knows that it was hard to just walk in a straight line with all of this wine in me. But when she did finally turn around to look at me I saw a look of regret on her face.

“Cadence… We—I mean, I would like to apologize for my actions the other day.”

My brow furrowed. What the hay was she talk—ohhhhhh…

She was talking about the touching wasn’t she?

Luna looked down at the ground and kicked at the cobblestone. “From what our sister hath— Celestia told me that what I did was inappropriate.” She looked back up at me, her cheeks tinted pink. “Wildly inappropriate. And while I will not apologize for courting you and Ares I never meant to make you uncomfortable in anyway.”

With a little understanding smile (or a drunk smile, I couldn’t tell at this point) I sat beside my aunt and wrapped a wing around her.

“All of that touching was how ponies showed interest back in your day?” I asked, trying not to cringe at saying “back in your day”. I had tried to think of a way to not be so blunt about it but I was a little drunk alright? Drunk-ish Cadence wasn’t a mare that was too quick on her hooves when it came to conversations.

Thankfully Luna didn’t seem to take offense, slowly nodding as she leaned against me. “Yes, ponies that were interested in each other would touch and rub against the one that they were trying to court.”

Luna’s blush deepened just a little bit. “They would also nip each other on the withers and rump but I decided not to do that with you at the last moment.”

And now I was blushing, looking away from my aunt while I coughed awkwardly into my hoof.

“Well… thanks for not... biting me.” My smile came back to my face. “And I forgive you. Thanks for the apology.”

Luna breathed a sigh of relief as I nuzzled her cheek and let my mind dwell on the mare beside me.

Even though I honestly didn’t think that it’d work between her, Ares, and me, Luna was a wonderful mare. She might have been behind the times and because of that she was a bit too touchy feely, but any stallion would be lucky to have her. Sure, her trying to make goo-goo eyes at me was a little… weird but we all had our quarks. And who knows? Maybe she’ll pull through and win me and Ares over.

…Did I just said that? I just said that didn’t I?

…Hehe. I must have had a bit more wine than I thought.

Luna and I broke our wing hug after another minute of holding each other and we once again started to make our way back to the castle. Walking back to the castle wouldn’t be the right way to say it. Bumbling to the castle might have been a better way to say it; webumbled back to the castle.

We chatted about nothing and everything on the way back, both of us at ease and giggling like school fillies, as we bumped into each other and tried to make funny faces when the other wasn’t looking. Just like the rest of the night this was nice, messing around and acting like I was a five year old. Silliness for silliness sake always made a night better, and whoever tells you any different is a bore and a stiff.

I was honestly a little disappointed when we finally made it back to Luna’s room, but I also kind of wasn’t if you know what I mean. While this night was one of the best that I’ve had in awhile I had a date with my little human in our bedroom. Or on our table. Or on the floor. Wherever we’d end up we’d end up I guess.

“May the rest of your night be a wonderful one, Cadenza,” Luna said with a smile, disappointment on her face that our “date” was already over.

I smiled back at her. “You have a good night to—“

As quick as a snake Luna stepped forward and kissed me on the cheek. I stopped mid-sentence to just look at her.

Luna’s eyes widened and she froze, as if she just realized what she did.

“GOODNIGHTCADENCEWEHATHTOUSETHELITTLEMARESROOMANDCLEANTHESINKANDWAXTHEGUTTERS!!!”

I raised a hoof to say something but my aunt teleported away in a flash, leaving me alone in the hallway. “…I hope she at least teleported into her room,” I muttered with a shake of the head, a hoof going up to my face to touch my cheek.

From behind me I could hear a chuckle. “So I’m guessing that the two of you had a nice little chat?”

Turning around I notice my little human leaning against the wall with a smirk on his face and his arms crossed.

I don’t know why but I found myself blushing and looking at the floor. “S-Shut up you pervert.”

My human threw up his hands with a grin. “Hey, I don’t know what you’re talking about. I was just asking if your little plan was coming along alright.”

A smile came to my face, and that smile was lewd. “It’s going along fine, thank you for asking.” Walking over to my human with a sway of my hips I rubbed myself against him. “Now, why don’t we go and have some fun, hon~?”

I had to stop from laughing when Ares’s eyes just lit up. “What, are you—“
“Yep.”

“And we can—”

My smile grew and I wiggled my hips. “I’d love if you took me back to my room and ripped this dress off me, Ares.”

An excited squeak (which sounded suspiciously like a rubber duck) escaped my human’s throat. “Then what the hell are we just standing here twiddling our thumbs for?!”

“…I don’t have thumbs, Ho—NEY!”

I squeaked as Ares scooped me up. “You know what I mean, Candy ass! Now come! The bedroom awaits!”
