One Step, Pink Step
Chapter 20: 20 - Enter the Dragon (clop)
Previous Chapter Next ChapterI bounced back into our wing and stopped right at the entrance. It was my pony! Or, well, not my pony, but the guard I helped out by making him a pony. He nodded at me but didn't say anything. Maybe he was feeling shy?
I raised a hoof at him. "Hey there." He looked like he wanted to say something. "I'm sorry for not asking first, but you were in trouble, big trouble. If you want to talk about it, just stop on by, alright?" He was still quiet. I think I said the right thing though. I bounced past him to give him a moment to relax. As tempting as it was to go full Cranky on him, that didn't seem to be the right approach.
Hiro had a group of six ponies lined up and was going over some dance steps of some kind? They were making grunts and shouts like they were working really hard or something. I didn't quite get it. "Hey Hiro! Whatcha doin'?"
He held up a clawed hoof and the others took a break, leaning on one another and panting softly. "Hello there, Pinkie. I thought it'd be a good idea to go over some basic self defense. Our new bodies are different than the one I was trained in, but the concepts don't change." He looked back towards his class. "Let's call it a day for now. Practice at least ten minutes every two hours." A few grumbles came up. "It's better than laying around." Off they went, scattering into various rooms.
Hiro smiled at me brightly. "Are you on your way to somewhere?" I shook my head quickly. "We haven't had too much time lately."
"I know! That's why I was looking for you, and the others. Speaking of others, have you seen Emma?"
He considered a moment. "She went down to the cafeteria for a snack. She should be back later. Did you have something specific in mind?"
I bobbed my head. "Actually, I do. There's this trick that my dragon friend back home can do, and you're a dragon! So I was thinking maybe you could do the same trick."
He looked interested, if cautious. "What kind of trick do you mean?" He led me out of the hall into one of the bedrooms attached to it. This one didn't have anypony else in it, besides us of course. "Tell me about it."
So I did! "Well, you see, he could take a letter and puff some fire on it, and fwoosh, off it went to our leader and princess. She'd get it and could send a letter back to him. We use it to mail her all the time, or if she wants to mail us, either way. Wanna try it?"
He frowned a little. "That requires I breathe fire first, and I haven't done that yet."
"Have you tried?" I grinned at him. He shook his head. "Then you can't say you can't breathe fire, just that you haven't tried it, and it may take practice." I hopped up on two legs and took a deep breathe, expanding my lungs out for him to see before fwoosh! I exhaled powerfully, a few flecks of confetti drifting towards the ground. When did I eat those? Oh well!
He chuckled softly. "Pinkie, you are adorable." He reached out and pet me with his claws carefully. "Let me try, but let's make some room. I'd feel pretty bad if I set something on fire." He got to cleaning things out. He pulled the mattresses aside and soon had a nice empty space to work with. "I'm not sure which I'm more afraid of, it working and setting the building on fire, or not working at all."
I gave a quick glance around and grabbed a fire extinguisher hanging from a hook. "Here!"
He looked confused. "Good idea, but how do you even know what one of those are?"
I blinked at him. "Isn't it obvious?"
He accepted that with a shake of his head. He took a slow breath, inhaling until it hit some magic point. I could see him hit it, with the way his eyes went all wide and surprised. He quickly coughed up a little fire that barely made it a few inches from his snout. "I did it! I... I really am a dragon." He sat down on his haunches, looking a little overwhelmed.
I set the extinguisher aside before bouncing around him. "Congratulations! Maybe you'll even grow wings when you get big enough."
He looked surprised at that. "Aren't I already full grown?"
Was he? "I've seen way bigger dragons. You might grow more. I mean it's alright if you don't." I produced a cupcake and shoved it into his open snout. "Congratulations! You did it, and on your first try too."
He quickly swallowed the treat. "Was this one of the ones you made before we came to the hospital? How is it even still fresh?"
I shrugged softly. "Things don't usually go bad when I keep them in my mane. Let's try the letter trick!" I pulled out a quill and some paper and got to writing quickly.
Dear Princess Celestia,
I hope this letter made it! Or I guess you won't be reading it, or maybe you'll get a pile of ash. If you do get it, please write me back! Oh! This isn't from Spike, so don't send it to him, OK? This dragon's name is Hiro, and he's super amazing! Not that Spike isn't amazing... Anyway! Hi! This is Pinkie! I'm in a world of humans that are turning into ponies, and not because they want to. I'm trying to help them out. Tell the girls I'm alright, and I'll come back as soon as I can.
Yours Faithfully,
Pinkamena Diane PiePS: Do you know how to get back to Equestria?
I folded the letter up a few times, then offered it to Hiro. "Alright, imagine a big white pony with big pretty wings and a long horn. She has a gold crown and the nicest smile. She's like your mother, even if she isn't really your mother. Her name is Princess Celestia if that helps."
Hiro gave a slow nod. "Celestia... alright. I can't promise this will do anything other than burn your letter. Have the extinguisher ready." He waited for me to grab it, then set the letter on the ground and pulled in air. Fwoosh! A little lick of fire consumed the paper voraciously and it flew off! I saw it! It went down the hallway towards Aiko's room?
A shriek of surprise came from inside and I set the extinguisher down. "I think it missed..."
Hiro suddenly burst past me, hurrying down the hallway towards Aiko. I quickly caught up just as he reached the door and pulled it open. Inside, Aiko was being hugged by her coltfriend. She looked pretty surprised. The letter was laying beside her, none the worse for wear for being set on fire.
"You did it!" I exclaimed. I mean, he had. He sent the letter. It didn't get to the right place, but he sent it!
Hiro glanced back at me before entering the room and nodding at Aiko. "Are you alright? We didn't mean to surprise you like that."
Aiko reached out a shaking hoof and pushed the letter away. "This letter... I had the overwhelming urge to vomit, and it spilled out, intact and dry. What happened?"
Hiro picked up the letter carefully. "Pinkie said I could perhaps send a letter to their pony princess, but it came to you apparently."
Aiko looked baffled. "I'm not their pony princess, but she isn't wrong, you did send it. Please don't do that again." She licked over her lips. "It was very scary." Her coltfriend squeezed her gently and she smiled. They were a lovely couple. But there was something off...
"Aiko, how are ya?" I bounced towards her. "We haven't really been keeping up. Anything... funny going on?"
Aiko looked around nervously, then pointed at the door before she pulled it shut with her magic. "I trust you can be discrete?"
Hiro quickly nodded. "If you don't want something repeated, it won't leave this room."
I made the Pinkie Promise. "No secrets will escape me! What's up?"
Aiko's coltfriend smiled. "What did you just do?"
I poked my eye again. "Pinkie Promise. It means I super duper extra promise." I thrust a hoof up. "One exception! If it's really super important that somepony be told, for your sake, I will. Is that okay?"
She hesitated before nodding. "Very well, if you think I'm in danger..." She nudged away her coltfriend and turned to show her back to us. "I've been sore in two places on my back. A gentle massage calms it down, but it always comes back."
I pulled out my sthethoscope and hopped up to her to have an examination. Hmm... Ah yes... Of course! I moved it around her back a bit before realizing that her heartbeat wasn't going to help me at all. I let it hang around my neck and tried feeling with my hooves instead. She had two lumps under her fur, and one of them just twitched! I felt an urge overwhelm me. A doozie was coming! My Pinkie Sense was absolutely sure. I didn't think it was a bad doozie, but definitely a doozie. It was hard to be sure with doozies.
"Aiko, I think you're alright, but when something happens, you should try to stay calm."
Her coltfriend's ears perked right up. "When? What's going to happen?" He moved in and kissed Aiko's snout gently. "If you know, please tell us, Pinkie."
I didn't know! "Not sure, but I know something's coming! I think it'll be alright though, so just try to stay relaxed and let it." I turned to Hiro. "Let's let Aiko relax. Sorry for barging in and everything."
Aiko grabbed me in her magic and squeezed me. "It's alright, Pinkie, thank you. See you later, alright?"
I bounded from the room and Hiro closed it behind me. There was Emma! I waved at her excitedly. "I should go talk to her. See you later, Hiro." I gave him a quick hug before bouncing off.
Emma noticed me quickly as I bounced and looked suddenly flustered. She took a few steps towards me, then stopped and looked more awkward. I jumped at her and hugged her tightly. "Emma! How ya doing? Want to hang out?" She quickly nodded at that. "Great! We can..." There wasn't actually a lot of places we could go without making other ponies upset. "Go to my room!"
She was entirely alright with that idea, and we trotted side-by-side. It was still a little funny having what amounted to a full stallion beside me, but knowing she was a mare. Was she a masculine mare, or a feminine stallion? I guess the first... She closed the door behind herself once we were in my room.
I bounced on mattress. It was the only thing that was nice to sit on in the room. "What have you been up to?"
She pawed at the ground a little. "Would you think it was weird if I said I was thinking about you mostly? I'm so sorry I wasn't there to clobber that jerk yesterday..."
Which j-- Oh, him. "Don't even worry about it. They're punishing him for being a bad pony. Maybe he'll learn his lesson and we'll be friends."
Emma snorted. "He tried to rape you, Pinkie... He deserves whatever they have planned for him, and you shouldn't be so eager to be his friend." She walked over and plopped down beside me. "Stop walking right into danger."
I shrugged a little. "It doesn't mean I haveta trust him like anypony else. I gave Discord a chance, but I still have an eye on him. I try to be nice, but that only goes so far." I reached out and poked her in the side. "What about you?"
Emma squirmed a moment. "I don't think I thanked you enough, for not letting me become a stallion... But I... Pinkie, you shouldn't be so trusting from the start. If you hadn't let those weird people do their whatever they did on you, you'd still be both, and we could..."
I couldn't help but blush a little. It was true, I didn't have 'little Pinkie' anymore. The idea of using it to play with Emma sounded really good at the moment, but! "There are other ways for ponies to play, you know, even two mares." She perked her ears curiously.
"I know that, Pinkie, but I didn't think you'd want to do that."
I shrugged at her. "And why not? We're friends."
She sat up. "Do you do that with your other friends?"
I considered that a moment. "Well, not a lot of them. The one time I brought it up with Rarity, she laughed for five minutes before saying no. I don't think Twilight's much for that kind of thing, and she has a coltfriend already. A few of the townsponies don't mind a little 'romp in the hay'." I waggled my tail. "I'm not saying we have to, or should, but we can. I don't need that to play with you."
Emma leaned in at me. "Am I still pretty?"
Oh! Um... "Well, not really?" She looked hurt. Oops. "You're handsome." The hurt turned to confusion. "Handsome's good too! I'm not pretty at all." I waved a hoof over my pink body. "I just have a nice personality, and I think that more than makes up for it."
Emma gasped. "Pinkie, how can you even say that? You're gorgeous just as you are right now."
"Aw, that's sweet of you to say." I hugged her around her neck gently. "But you can't fool me! I'm no super mod--"
She kissed me and gently pushed me to the mattress. Her hooves rubbed over the sides of my barrel as she pushed her tongue into my snout and explored eagerly. She was dead set on proving I was a pretty pony, and I didn't feel like arguing it at the moment. She was a heck of a kisser and I was alright with this! She pulled back from our kiss with a smile and began to nuzzle and nip down along my throat. "Pinkie... I love you. Please stop saying mean things about yourself." She reached my chest and nuzzled into it, giggling. "Does this feel nice? Where are your breasts?"
I giggled at that. "It does feel nice, but my breasts aren't up there, silly." I put my hooves on her head and guided her down to my lower belly until I felt her lips brush over my teats. "There you go." Why did she... oh yeah! Humans have theirs way up tall. How do human foals even reach them?
Those thoughts went away as Emma began giving soft little sucks at one of the teats, carefully working me as her tongue flicked out in quick swipes and tastes. I held her head and let out a happy sigh. That felt good, better than I expected. Why hadn't I tried playing with teats more often during play? She switched to the other teat with a soft pop and gently nuzzled up into me, pressing into my warm breasts as she bathed me in her saliva and made me squirm in pleasure at her eager suckling. I was definitely going to add that to my list of tricks to use! "K-keep going, just like that." She had no complaints making me wriggle with happiness. I squeaked as I reached the first peak just from being nursed at and blushed, wondering if mother mares felt that way when their foals nursed. No wonder they looked so content and satisfied...
She nuzzled past my tingling breasts, leaving my teats glistening with her affection. She nudged my breasts up a little as she arrived at my petals and sniffed at them. They were already glistening, dewy with arousal and the climax I already had. Her tongue darted out and tasted me and I squeaked with pleasure. She pried with her tongue, splitting my already puffy lips as she went in deep and began to explore in earnest a moment before she drew back, breathing over me hotly as she spoke, "I mean it... I love you, Pinkie." Oh gosh, did she want to be special someponies? I wasn-- My thought was interrupted as she plunged back into me and I squealed with delight.
She played me like a badly tuned trumpet, and I was carried off on bliss as I squealed and moaned that mangled song of pleasure. I couldn't do much more than rub over her head and ears, encouraging her as she pressed her wide tongue deeper and deeper. She wasn't a stallion, but who cared? She was doing a great job! She sealed her lips around my swollen lips a moment and sucked, pulling juices from me as I groaned. I wanted to touch her more. I wanted to return the favor, but she kept me pinned down and insisted on being the giver that time. She brought me to climax after crashing climax, and I flopped back, unable to even sit up with the stars swimming in front of my eyes. She had me powerless and happy, just the way she planned.
She raised her hooves and set them on my breasts. I felt her frogs squeeze and pull as she began to work them, massaging them as she explored slowly along my outer lips. It was too much! I gushed a little squirt of fluids across her waiting tongue as I trembled. I was dizzy with pleasure. If love was a competition, she was keeping me pinned in the corner and racking up the points without letting me get in my starting move, and I just didn't care. How could I? Everything was bliss. I'd have to share these tricks with the mares back in Ponyville, after I figured out how to get back there...
I noticed she'd stopped licking and was nuzzling at my breasts softly. "Pinkie, what do you really think of me?"
Uh oh! I didn't even need Pinkie Sense to know that was a serious question. "Emma..." I tried to sit up, but I was still dizzy. Everything felt good and light. "Oh Emma... I love you." She smiled. "But I'm not sure I want to be special someponies." She stopped smiling. "We're super good friends."
Emma sat up over me, moving a hoof to slowly rub over my sensitive lips and watch my little twitches and gasps. "Aiko has her boyfriend, and they're doing fine. Why don't you want someone special? Someone to be just yours? I'm not asking you to change for me." She leaned in and licked up along my snout. "I'm happy making you happy, but I want us to be a couple, not just friends."
I licked over my suddenly dry lips. "Emma, one day, I'm going to go home, and I can't promise you'll go with me. I don't want to break a promise." Emma settled on me, pressing nose-to-nose. "I don't want to say something like that..."
Emma softly chewed at my nose, which tickled! "Even if you do, some day... Can't we be special, for now?"
I licked her lips and kissed her briefly, enjoying having her close enough to return some of the affection she showed me. "You know, there are some stallions that I bet would love a mare that was built like they were. I know you feel a little awkward, but like you said to me, stop selling yourself short. You're very handsome, and nice, and great!"
Emma shrank back a little. "Do you want me to go?"
I pulled her closer, rubbing my belly against her's. "You can stay, silly pony. Thank you... That was amazing, but we can be super awesomely close friends without being special someponies, and if you find somepony that gets your interest, then I want you to play and not feel bad about me. That doesn't stop us from playing too."
She gave a slow nod, then sat back up. "Alright, so, when are we leaving?"
Leaving? "What?"
She waved a hoof. "You led these ponies here, we don't have to stay anymore."
I sat up slowly. "Where would we go? I mean, I guess we could look around, but what are we looking for? Oh! What about those ponies outside? They're still stuck there... waiting... They could use some cheering up at least!"
She smiled a little uncertainly. "Maybe... We just don't need to be here. It's as dangerous here as it is out there, maybe more... I'm not really scared of the wild ponies. What can they do? I'm already a pony! She nuzzled, snout-to-snout. "Think about it..." She slid up to her hooves and turned for the door, but I wasn't going to let her do that.
I rolled up to my own hooves and stuck my snout right between her legs. Oops! Stallions didn't have nipples. Oh well, in for a bit... I nuzzled up into the warm flesh there and worked my way backwards along her underside until I reached her fragrant petals and gave them a little taste. She let out a little sigh. "You don't have to just to 'pay' me back, Pinkie..."
"And if I want to?" I slipped my tongue deep inside of her and showed her how skilled I was with it, undulating and twisting inside of her. Her complaints died with a surprised squeak and I knew I had her. I caught her as she sank and began teasing her from the inside out, sampling her delicious marecum. It was like frosting us mares made just for those who treated us properly, and I planned on treating Emma very properly indeed, just like the great mare she was.
We didn't get a lot done for the next few hours, at least if we're talking important stuff. Sometimes that kind of thing was important though! I showed her I cared for her, and left her as woozy as she left me, and we took a nap in each other's embrace. She was gone when I woke up though. Ah well, there was plenty more to do!
Next Chapter: 21 - Even in Darkest Times, There is Room for Celebration Estimated time remaining: 4 Hours, 60 MinutesAuthor's Notes:
Pinkie makes many little discoveries! She also has a good time to counteract all the violence and drama.
Obviously the great creator typoed when he created stallions without nipples. Sheesh.
As I prepare for a week away from home, what shall Pinkie focus on?
1: Let's Bust Outta Here
2: I have a great idea to improve things around here!
3: We need to throw a welcoming party for the new pony/guard. He needs some cheering up!
4: Aiko needs help and monitoring. Let's stay close to her for now.
5: I have an idea how to better aim Hiro. We'll get the mail through, somehow!
