“So you said you wanted to talk more about the vacation we’re planning, Rarity?” Derpy asked. The three of them were on the couch, Rush in the middle with his marefriends in his arms.

“Yes, I did… it might be a great idea, vacations do help to relieve stress like nothing else.” Rarity nodded. “Except a spa trip, perhaps.”

“If everyone’s going, I wouldn’t say no to a vacation.” Rush added, “It’d be a great way for all of us to relax and just have fun.”

“Well, I have a lot of vacation time stored up, so it’d be easy to take a week off or so.” Derpy said. “How about you, Rarity? Can you afford to take that long off at the Boutique? Both money-wise and upcoming projects-wise, that is.”

“My clientele would be perfectly understanding if I took some time off. I mean… I do some of my best work when I’m relaxed, and it’d help if my new assistant were relaxed too. It’d probably be more profitable in the long run if I did take some time off.” Rarity addressed. “Plus… it’s not just all business pluses if I do. I’d also be spending time with the ponies, and zebra, I love.” She added with a wide smile.

Derpy smiled along with Rarity, and leaned across Rush’s chest to give her a kiss. Rush hugged the both of them, pushing them just a bit closer, making the kiss even easier for the two of them. The two of them noticed his small encouragement, smiling at each other and- while not getting too into it- proceeded to make it a bit more sultry than usual.

“Mmmm,” Rush muttered, not even bothering to try to shift as he was already pinned between the two mares, having nowhere to move.

As soon as their kiss ended, Derpy pulled back, asking, “Heh… enjoy that?”

Rush mumbled quietly, “A bit…” His cheeks turned a slight red.

“Well, we’ll save that for later.” She said. “Right now, let’s focus on our talk.”

“Right, w-where would we go?” Rush inquired.

“Weren’t we talking about going somewhere snowy, with cabins?” Derpy said, scratching her chin.

“Right!” Rush nodded.

“We’ll we’re in luck! I know someone who can help us get a cabin. I’m sure he’d be more than willing to even lend us his for use, just as long as we don’t ruin it.” Rarity started.

“Oh? Where are the cabins?” Derpy asked.

“Well, he owns several, so it’s just a decision as to how far we’d be willing to travel.” Rarity continued, “I know of one of his more recent ones is near the Crystal Empire… another is near Neighagra Falls… and I know of one more in the Smoky Mountains. Ah! And there’s one in the Foal Mountains, that’s the closest one to us.”

“Hmm… I think that the Foal Mountains sound good, but what do you two think?” Derpy said.

“I like the sound of that.” Rush nodded, “Just, what’s the cabin like? If you’ve ever seen it, that is.”

“Well, I do know it’s a two floored one. And it has all the amenities we’d need, including hot water. And his wife has told me that there’s a hot spring near by...” Rarity explained. “Oh! And there’s a nice little village nearby that we could buy some things from before we go there.”

“That sounds really nice!” Rush exclaimed, “And, it sounds like they’ve tried to get you to go there before.”

“They have. Though they offered to let me stay on my own for a nice break from work.” Rarity nodded.

“And they wouldn’t mind four other ponies staying with you?” Derpy asked.

“I’ll ask, but knowing them so long as we don’t ruin the cabin, there shouldn’t be a problem.” Rarity replied.

“Great! Let’s hope they do let us go. It’d be great to go to a cabin!” Rush smiled happily.

“Then it’s settled! Rarity, if you could please ask your friend about using their cabin for a week?” Derpy asked.

“Of course, I’ll ask them next time I see them.” Rarity replied, “That should be tomorrow, too! I just finished off Fleur’s cocktail dress.”

“Fleur de Lis owns a cabin in the Foal Mountains?” Derpy asked incredulously.

“She does. Well, in reality it’s her husband, Fancy Pants, that owns it.” Rarity explained. “It’s just that they both consider it their property. The three of us get along very well, they are actually quite nice ponies once you get to know them. Though they still tend to be nice even if you don’t.”

“Oh, they’re very polite?” Derpy continued to question her.

“Very much so. Though… now that I think of it, they might want to meet you both before they say yes.” Rarity responded. “That should go very smoothly, though.”

“That’s fine.” Derpy said. “Though, I hope they’ll be fine with seeing us in Ponyville.”

“Well, I’m sure Fluer wouldn’t mind since she’s already here. I’m sure Fancy’s also here with her.” Rarity said.

“That’s pretty convenient.” Derpy replied.

“Fluer is picking up a dress, darling. She likes to do it herself to try it on. Though they’ve all fit her perfectly. I think she just likes to be the first to see herself in the dress.” Rarity laughed quietly.

“Oh, right.” Derpy said. “I forgot that you had said that.”

“Is something wrong, Derpy?” Rush asked, seeming slightly confused.

“Huh? No, why do you ask?” Derpy responded, looking up at him.

“From where I am, it just sounded like something was wrong, just with the way you seemed to talk about them…” He shrugged, “I guess it was just my imagination.”

“You were just worried about me, silly. That’s sweet.” Derpy smiled, leaning up and nuzzling him. Rush nuzzled her back.

“It’s settled then! I’ll try to get us all set up to meet them!” Rarity smiled again, hugging the two of them, as well as giving them both a kiss. “I’ve got to go put some last little details together in my shop, I’ll see you both later.”

Derpy’s face fell slightly. “Aww…” She said.

“We’ll miss you…” Rush said, waving goodbye.

Rarity waved at the both of them as she left. After the door had shut, Rush gently pulled Derpy into a comforting hug, trying to get her to be a little happier despite their marefriend leaving the house.

“I’m alright, Rush.” Derpy discerned the hug’s further purpose. “Just a little disappointed.”

“Just think though, if we do get that cabin for the week… we’ll all be together, we’ll be able to just focus on spending time with each other. No outside forces, like work stopping us.” He reasoned.

“Well, DInky and Sweetie will be there, so it won’t exactly be a week of you making love to us like I’m sure you’re imagining.” Derpy giggled.

“That was just a thought… I was thinking more of just all five of us doing things together.” Rush laughed. “Maybe you, Rarity, and I can take a private vacation sometime later.” He teased right back. “This vacation is going to be just as enjoyable for them as it is going to be for us. Though, less, uh… pleasurable for just one part of it.” He finished.

“Which is fine.” Derpy added.

“I’m just really happy about spending time with everyone. It’ll be fun regardless of what happens.” He replied, “Now…” He started in a teasing tone.

“Now?”

“In case you haven’t noticed… you’ve been left a little open.” Moments after he finished, his hands shot to her sides and he started to tickle her.

“Wha-ha-ha-ha! Ru-hu-huuush, *snort*, st-ta-ha-haaap!” Derpy giggled, wiggling and trying to squirm away from him. He gently pushed her down onto the couch and continued to tickle her from above. “Q-q-quit *snort* quit i-i-it *snort*!” She laughed out. Rush stopped tickling her and leaned down, giving her a quick kiss before getting off of her. A goofy grin was spread completely across his face. Derpy lay on the couch, her hair splayed out on her face and the cushion behind her, panting as she looked up at him. He stuck his tongue out slightly and laughed a little.

“You left yourself open to it… I wasn’t going to ignore that opportunity.” He said.

Her muzzle scrunched up, and in a fake angry turn, she said, “Ruuuush… you know I hate it when you make me giggle-snort!”

“I love hearing it, though… so there’s a little problem with that.” He retorted, leaning back down over her.

“Don’t you dare.”

“What do you think I’m going to do?” Rush inquired, smiling devilishly.

“I’m warning you!”

He laughed and just leaned completely down, kissing her on the lips before pulling up, this time with his arms completely around her, causing her to end up on his lap. “Warning me about what?” He asked.

“If you tickle me again, you’ll regret it!” She said, booping his nose.

“Oh? But Derpy, you do know…” He started, purposefully ending the sentence early, to draw her curiosity.

“What?”

He leaned in close, “We’re alone now, and there are many ways I can tickle you…” He teased in a soft whisper. “Though… I wouldn’t say they’re all tickling…”

She shivered, blushing. “You’re evil.” She mumbled. Rush laughed.

“I love you, Derpy.” He said.

“I know.” She replied, resting her head against his. “I love you too, Rush.”

“How about, instead of me doing any more tickling, we just relax? Maybe head back to our room for a little?” He offered. “Of course, it’s getting too late for anything… but maybe I can still get you a little more comfy.”

“I dunno… I might feel bad if you get left unsatisfied.” Derpy said.

“You shouldn’t, though. I’m fine with it.” He said, gently nuzzling her.

“Well… alright.” She gave in. “I know you want to.”

“Great! Let’s get back to our room.” He said, standing up with her in his arms. “And Derpy…”

“Yeah?”

“If you really want to go that far… we always have tomorrow while Dinky’s at school.” He started, “But I feel like tonight, you deserve more attention.”

Derpy wrapped her arms around his neck, resting her head on his shoulder. “You always feel like that… you’re too good for me.” She said.

“Derpy…” He sighed. “Please don’t say that. How about… we see where tonight leads then?” He offered, “I’ll show you just how incredible I feel you are… and you can decide where you want to go from there.”

“Well, I don’t wanna go further if you don’t want to.” Derpy said.

“I only don’t because Dinky’s just a room over from us… I’m worried we might just wake her up if we get… too into it.” He explained.

“Well… you’re never too loud, and I could just… bite a pillow.” Derpy suggested.

“Or… maybe, we could just constantly kiss.” He offered.

In their talk, neither of them had noticed that Dinky’s door was open, or that the bathroom’s was closed with light coming from underneath. So, when the door opened and Dinky stepped out, saying, “Eww… kissing is gross.”

Rush froze for a moment before he looked at Derpy.

“Ah… Muffin, what are you doing awake?” Dinky asked, her voice slightly shaky.

“I had a bad dream, and it woke me up, so I went to use the bathroom.” Dinky explained.

“Are you feeling any better?” Rush asked, biting his lip slightly.

“Yeah.” Dinky nodded, letting out a yawn.

“That’s great to hear! Did you want anything else before you went back to bed?” Rush inquired.

“Nah. Goodnight Mommy and Daddy.” Dinky said, hugging Rush’s leg before walking back into her room, closing the door.

“Well… maybe you’re right.” Derpy said.

“Yeah, let’s just… um, wait until tomorrow to do anything too serious…” Rush nodded in agreement, carrying her into the room and setting her down, the two of them shortly getting undressed and onto the bed.

“That’s fine.” Derpy said. “But I hope you don’t mind if I cuddle you to sleep.”

“I don’t mind one bit.” He smiled, pulling her in close to his chest and giving her plenty to cuddle with.

“Mmm… I love how warm you are. And… not soft, but… firm.” She sighed, nuzzling into him and spreading her wings out over both of them.

“I love just how soft you are.” He returned, nuzzling and kissing her cheek. “And you’re just as toasty. I absolutely adore that.”

“You think I’m squishy?”

“Yeah, I do. Whatcha gonna do about it?”

Derpy pulled away from him and scooted up a bit on his body, managing to squish his face in between her breasts. “That.” She said.

“Mmmph.” He grumbled through her breasts, his hands quickly sliding up her back, running right over her wings. He gave the bases of her wings a light squeeze just as he nuzzled the space right in between her teats.

Before Rush could get too into it, though, Derpy pulled away, leaving him a bit unsatisfied. “Now you know I’m squishy. And…” She trailed off, squeezing her thighs, “I know you’re firm.”

“That leaves us with quite the predicament in our current situation, doesn’t it?”

“Maybe. But like you said, we should probably not do anything, since Dinky’s awake.” Derpy teased him.

“Right… well, that’s going to make tomorrow even more interesting, isn’t it?” He teased back.

“Probably.” Derpy agreed.

“Well, how about we enjoy our sleep for tonight?” He suggested, pulling her close again.

“Yeah.” Derpy nodded, once more nestling into him. “Goodnight, Rush. I love you.” She said, giving him a kiss.

“I love you too, Derpy.” He returned the kiss and snuggled up against her. The two of them fell asleep with smiles on their faces, dreams most likely filled with each other’s presence.
