The Heart of Pleasure
By Haunter Rayne
Ch 80 – True Feelings

- Same Night, At Parties End -

It was well into the evening when things started to wind down. Ponies everywhere sat with half lidded eyes and tired smiles. Some were passed out either from the alcohol or just laying down to rest from sheer exhaustion. Others were sat in small groups chatting quietly with each other trying not to disturb those who were asleep.

“Phew, what a party.” Star Swirl sighed peacefully as Twilight sat next to him with her eyes swimming. “I very well may sleep for days after this. I am not the young colt that I once was. But the excitement this evening sure was worth it.” The proud sorcerer was three sheets to the wind by this point but he was still coherent.

Twilight however was having a more difficult time maintaining her composure. “Yes… it was a blast. I’m so glad... that I came. But I need to get… everypony home... safely so that… Oh I think I’m going to be sick!” She whined as Discord suddenly materialized a bucket for the princess. Star Swirl just laughed before falling to the side and passing out as Twilight lost hold of all the wine she drank that evening.

A few minutes of quiet passed amongst those who were still awake before Discord heard somepony speak up from behind him. “Glad to see I’m not the only one who maintained some control over themselves.”

“Oh, hoo hoo. Don’t you worry Starlight, I enjoyed myself plenty. But I’m quite a bit taller than you ponies. Body mass verses alcohol ratio and all that. I’m buzzed but it would have taken an entire barrel of my own to get me as drunk as our friends are here. Don’t you worry, I’ll make sure that every pony gets home to their beds safe and sound.” He said reassuringly to the unicorn who now sat beside him.

Starlight reached down to stroke Twilight’s back gently. After having released the contents in her stomach the princess also succumb exhaustion just like many others had. “Thank you Discord, I appreciate that. And yes, tonight was a lot of fun even if I showed up late. Rayne is one heck of a party thrower.”

“HE’S THE BEST!” Pinkie shouted as she bounced forward but then also collapsed. Discord and Starlight just sighed with a smile.

That was when the Draconequus looked over asked, “Actually Starlight, there is something that I wouldn't mind you telling me. When you finally did show up for the party, why did you avoid letting Rayne see you once you got here?”

“Oh. It’s because he probably would have stopped what he was doing to give me attention.” She stated as if the reason couldn’t have been simpler. Discord of course just raised an eyebrow waiting for her to explain. “Ugh. Okay listen. Before I left on my recent friendship mission I was well aware that Rayne went off to spend some quality time alone with Applejack and Rainbow Dash. And while yes there are a good number of other ponies here, it only took me a second of watching Rayne to figure out that this whole party was just for Zecora.”

“Uh huh...” Discord mused, still not getting.

Rolling her eyes Starlight explained, "Rayne is a worrier. He is probably going around to all the mares he's dating and doing something special for each of them to lift their spirits after the Everfree Forest tragedy. This… this was Zecora’s night. I didn’t want to take away from that.”

“Oh well, I do suppose that does make a bit of sense.” Discord nodded.

“I trust Rayne." Starlight added. "I’m sure in the next few days he’ll have something special planned just for me. But I wanted to let Zecora have her night.”

“Well...” Discord slithered over and draped an arm over Starlight's shoulder. “As much as I don’t want to give the surprise away, you are probably right. Just recently in fact he asked me to do some peculiar things for him that now that I think about it would probably be of particular interest that your monochromatic bestie of yours."

"Oh? Something special for Maud?" Starlightasked as she used her magic to start cleaning up the party supplies while Discord now walked around snapping each pony back to their homes in Ponyville.

Back inside Zecora’s hut Rayne smirked as he lay staring at the unconscious smile on the zebra’s lips. After what felt like an hour had passed, he kissed her cheek and moved gently to leave her for the night. However her hooves were quick to reach out around his arm just as soon as he started to pull away.

“Zecora… I thought that you were sleeping.” He whispered before stroking her mane gently with his hoof.

“Mmmm. I do not want for you to go… There is still so much love for you to show.” She whispered lazily to him as the two chuckled together.

“You’re spent luv, you need to rest.” He told her knowing full well that she had drank too much this evening and that it had been entirely his fault.

But then she pulled him back into his arms as if she were being very serious all of a sudden. “Rayne, you do not need to do this. You don’t need to go.” She told him with an adamant tone to her voice.

Rayne chuckled again as he told her. “Well I love spending time with you but I have to go home sometime my dear.”

“No Rayne, my understanding you miss. You plan to end things between us, I know!” She suddenly whimpered out.

Now everything froze leaving only an awkward silence between them as Zecora sobbed into his chest. “What?” He asked her simply.

“I am not a fool Rayne. This party, our friends, this happiness in my heart… your plan is plain.” He held onto one another's hooves as she looked up and said, “This is your good bye to me, it is simple to see. You intended to soften the blow by making tonight as joyous as can be.”

She stared up at his silhouette in the dark of the room as he sighed softly. “…I’m sorry.”

“WHY?!” She screamed as she clung to him tighter now that he had confirmed it. “No! Do not do this! I love you! Please stay with me and our happiness can be true!” She cried out while clinging tighter and tighter around him as he just sat there motionless in her bed.

“But it wouldn’t.” He whispered which made her pause before dropping her head to sob into his chest. “Zecora, I don’t want you to blame yourself for this after I leave. Because youre right, I know in my heart that I could be happy with you.” He told her as he lifted her chin up with a hoof.

“Th-then why?” She whimpered as she nuzzled her face into his touch.

“Because I would only be happy. That is all. It would be contentment and nothing more.” He tried to explain. “You deserve passion Zecora. You are wild and adventurous. You deserve the excitement and yearning that comes from true love. You are an amazing mare. You are thoughtful, brave, forthright, and you are so very beautiful.” He said as they kissed and her breath hitched as she leaned against his lips. “I can’t tell you how happy you've made me. I don’t have the words. You are a wonder. But… I’m not in love with you Zecora.”

At this she laid her head down across his lap and sobbed while pounding upon the bed with her hoof. “This… this I know. But I did not want it to show. To give you love and all that you need, I strived and yearned because I wanted it to be me.”

“I’m sorry Zecora….” He said softly as he began to remove himself from bed. But he sighed as he felt her grab onto one of his hooves once more.

“You my still came here, should it come to pass what I fear.” She told him still sounding heartbroken but aiming to steady her voice to show her seriousness. “If this is what you wish than I will abide. But should you reach that fateful day, you need only flee here where I reside.” Rayne nodded happy to know that her promise to protect him was still intact.

Then he finally stepped away, moving over to pick up Rainbow Dash where he had left her earlier on Zecora’s fern bed. Carrying her out over his shoulder, Rayne pretended to not hear it as Zecora's sobs started once more as soon as he was gone.

- The Next Day, Early Afternoon -

“You know Rayne, you have been spending an awful lot of time with Discord lately.” Maud said as she helped the stallion wash their dishes from their breakfast together. “Is there anything that I should be worried about?”

“Heh, whatever could you mean?” He said innocently while helping to put everything away once it was dried. “Just because I am a pony who likes to put together wild and imaginative plans… and Discord is the Master of Chaos as well as one who has a penchant for the theatrics… Why would you naturally assume that we are ‘up to something’ together?”

“Mmhmm.” She hummed while clearly not believing him for a moment. But then she stepped up planting a soft kiss on his cheek. “You know that I don’t like surprises. But I trust you not to do anything that would get anypony hurt.” She gave him one of her rare and subtle smiles. “Are you ready to go?”

Rayne just chuckled as he told her, “I’m not going anywhere until I get one more kiss from you.”

Maud gave him a playful push away as he leaned in toward her. “You’re going to get plenty of kisses when you go out tonight with Starlight. Just make sure to actually come home this evening. I get lonely in the mornings to wake up and find that you still haven’t made it back yet.”

Rayne surprised the gray mare when he reached forward to take her by the hooves. “All the more reason why I should kiss you now before I leave. I’ll do my best to make it back tonight, don’t worry. But I don’t want you ever worrying that I won’t come back again. In fact, after Starlight and I have our night together you are the mare who is next on my list to do something special for.”

“Rayne...” She whined in her monotone sort of way while a dull blush spread on her cheeks. “You don’t have to do special things for me.”

“And what kind of boyfriend would I be if I didn’t do something for a mare who was special to me?” He gave her a sincere look that he would not let her escape from.

With another small smile she looked up at him and whispered, “You mean it?” He nodded and she finally relented. “Okay. Just nothing too grand.” She sighed before leaning forward to give him the deep longing kiss that he was waiting for.

“Don’t you worry Maud. I wouldn’t be planning anything unless I absolutely knew for certain that you would appreciate it. Have I ever let you down so far?” She shook her head and then waved him off as he departed from her. Rayne walked over to the entrance of the tunnel which lead outside before teleporting away. But unknown to Maud he only traveled as far as the desolate opening outside her home.

Knowing that there would be no reason for anypony else to be around he called out, “Discord?! You out here yet?”

Not a moment later there was a chuckle from overhead as the serpent-est creature slithered into view. “Here and waiting my friend. Worry not, your timing is impeccable. I only just finished with that little task you asked me for.”

“Aw, perfect. You’re the best pal a stallion could ask for.” He replied as he raised his hoof to high five with the Draconequus. “So, you found it then and also passed along my message to the Royal Equestrian Geological Survey?”

“Yes, yes. I found the head of geology in Canterlot and gave him your message.” Discord replied with declining interest. “Here is the paperwork. They said they’d need a few days to examine the site and as long as everything lives up to what you stated then they are willing to agree to all of your terms. Just sign here.” He told Rayne as he held up a thick scroll and a quill that he conjured.

Unraveling the document and taking a moment to scan it over Rayne hastily scribbled his signature on the base line. “This’ll do. I can’t thank you enough for this Discord. Also, not only am I excited for Maud but now I can’t wait to show you my thanks for helping out with this.” He said with a teasing grin.

“Yes… about that…” Discord said calmly as he crossed his hooves and looked away trying to seem nonchalant. But a moment later he dropped the ruse as he threw himself down to the ground and held onto Rayne’s hooves. “Would you please, please, pleeeeassse tell me already what this ‘big surprise’ is that you’ve been holding over my head?! The suspense is killing me!” Discord whined.

“Heh, heh. Sorry buddy, not yet. It’s date specific. Nothing I can do about it until then. But trust me when I say that as much as Maud is going to love what you helped me with, you might even like your surprise even more.” Then the stallion turned away tight lipped.

“Oh fine.” Discord spat as he picked himself up from the ground. “In any case, the thought is still appreciated that you’d even consider doing something for me. Normally I only have Fluttershy to think of such things.”

Before Discord could leave though, Rayne outstretched a hoof to grab him by the wrist. “Wait! There is one more thing I wanted to ask you about.”

Discord quirked an eyebrow. “You know Rayne, quid pro quo I’m happy to help a friend. But that doesn’t mean I plan to be your gofer for every little thing.”

“Oh no, don’t worry. No more errands. I just have a question for you.”

“Yessss?!”

“When uh, somepony sings a song here in town… quite often other ponies around will all join in to assist with the chorus and what not.” Rayne pointed out.

“True… but what about it?” Discord asked, wondering just where the stallion was going with this line of questioning.

“Well what I want to know is… how?” He asked bluntly. “How does everypony suddenly know the words to a song that they’ve never heard before? And don’t you dare give me a line about ‘improvisation.’ and chewing gum.” Rayne stated not wanting to see his friend debase himself to a cheesy 4^th wall break.

“Uh, well... Rayne, it isn’t for the likes of you to know the underlying fabric of the universe and what makes all things tick. All you need to understand is that it does work. And by the fact, you have your own magic you know which it would seem you’ve so far failed to put to any practical use!” The Draconequus spat.

“Huh? My magic?” Rayne asked in confusion.

“Yes, yes! YOUR magic! Not levitation or turning into a pussycat. I’m taking about you being a pleasure pony! Sure you’re great at fulfilling your own interests… but you aren’t living up to the lineage that came before you! If you want to guide somepony into doing something fun for themselves… then just set it up and trust in your own ability to have them follow.”

“It’s really that simple?” Rayne questioned as he looked up feeling unsure.

“Oh well why wouldn’t it be?! Can you really say that there hasn’t been dozens of happenings in Equestria that have only worked out the way they did because of ‘well why not?’ Just do what you do and as long as you can keep a smile on everyponies face then no one will question it.”

Rayne thought that over for a bit before nodding to himself. But then he looked up to Discord with a new question asking, “Yeah about that… Discord, why is everyone in Equestria a moron?” To this Discord just slapped himself in the face with disbelief.

- Manehattan, Later that Night -

The beat in DJ PON3’s Club Pony Party Palace was in full swing. But Rayne already knew that the night club would not disappoint. Starlight threw herself down into a seat at the bar while laughing and wiping the sweat from her brow.

“Phew, Rayne! Careful, you’re going to wipe me out too fast!” She chided him playfully.

Taking the seat next to her he raised his hooves saying, “Hey, you were the one who specially stated that you wanted to be wild tonight. What was it you said? 'You aren’t a little filly anymore so you want to live it up tonight to act like it'?”

“Har, har. Very funny, use my words against me.” She giggled before signaling to the bartender who at this point didn't even ask for their VIP passes anymore. Once she had a couple sips of her drink down she was able to relax and say, “No seriously though. I’m loving tonight. You’ve been giving me just what I asked for."

“And I’m happy to provide. Anything to put a smile on that face of yours. I’d do anything for you Starlight.” He said to her, leaning forward placing a gentle kiss romantically on her lips.

When Starlight pulled away her face was flushed beat red. “Rayne! Hehe, don’t go getting all serious on me. Tonight is supposed to be about helping me unwind, remember?”

“Oh don’t worry, I’ve got something in mind for helping you to cut loose.” He snickered.

“I thought you might.” She grinned as he raised an eyebrow. They took a moment to eye each other up and down. Rayne again wore his signature white dress shirt for their date. Meanwhile Starlight was wearing a long green dress which had a slit cut up the side so high that it almost went to her hip. Starlight grinned loving how it made Rayne’s eyes glow as she moved her exposed leg while they sat together.

“Hmm? I’m sorry, what did you say?” Rayne asked as he tried and failed to shake his eyes away from how she teased him with her open leg.

“Hehe, I didn’t.” She giggled at how easy it was for her to distract him. “Okay, come on. Let’s get back out there. I want another dance with you.” She said after taking one more large sip of her drink. Rayne nodded and back turned to swallow down his own drink while Starlight climbed out of her chair. But his eyes shot open wide when he heard her suddenly shout. “OHH!”

“What? What is it?!” He asked as he nearly dropped his glass and turned back to check on her.

“When I stepped down that stallion there just copped a feel on me through my dress!” She stated as she pointed to an earth pony walking away. Rayne watched as he met up with another stallion who could have been his exact twin. They were both tall and thin giving a sort of a creeper vibe to them. Their coats were blue and manes green while they both wore a sequenced vest to match one another. Rayne couldn’t help but notice how they resembled Flim and Flam except that they weren't unicorns and they were the wrong colors.

“He did WHAT?!” Rayne roared as Starlight watched his gaze darken in a way that almost frightened her.

Immediately Rayne stepped forward to make a beeline right for them until Starlight’s hooves reached out grabbing him tightly by his shirt. “Wait, don’t! Please!” She begged him. “Come on Rayne, it’s okay. He’s just some creep, it’s not worth it! I came here with you to have a good time, not to watch you get into a fight. Please, let’s just forget about it.” She pleaded while holding tightly to not let him go.

Rayne was furious as he watch the two clearly scoping out different mares in the worst way possible. They whispered and snickered together before one pointed to a couple dancing hoof in hoof together. They nodded and separated from each other as they made their way over. Rayne watched as one of the blue stallions cut in sweeping the mare away from her partner. When the pegasus she had been dancing with got angry and challenged the blue stallion, the other one swooped in to dance the mare away instead while the pegasus was completely unaware.

“Rayne, please...” Starlight called out as she wasn’t paying attention to anyone in the room other than him.

She watched as her boyfriend just closed his eyes and took a long deep breath. Then he turned to Starlight and kissed her deeply, nearly lifting her hooves off of the floor from how tightly he swept her up into that kiss. “I love you Starlight.” He told her as he finally set her back down.

For her part she had to struggle to regain her balance as he had completely taken her breath away. “I-… wow. Rayne, hehe. I love you too. What was that for?” She asked him with the sweetest of smiles on her face.

“Nothing. I just wanted you to know how much you mean to me is all.” He told her earnestly.

Giving him a smirk now she grabbed him by the hoof and said, “I know, don’t worry. Now come on! I wanna dance! I want you to sing me another song! Show me how you’re going to embarrass me tonight!” She said with a laugh.

Rayne froze at it he also had a giggle at that. “Embarrass you? What are you talking about?”

Starlight rolled her eyes because he was talking instead of dancing with her. “Oh come on, you know. Every time we come here you find some way to push me a little bit farther. Rayne, I’m a sheltered girl with attitude problems. And by day I’m a school guidance counselor for crying out loud! I never would have been doing the things I do with you in this club without you. And since you make every night with you a special night, I have no doubt that you’ve been hiding something up your sleeve for this evening.”

“Oh is that so?” Rayne laughed with a guilty expression.

“YES! So come on already! I’m feeling good so let’s have it. Are you gonna sing for me again or what? As long as you aren’t planning to bed me out on the dance floor or anything I’ll be fine with whatever you want.”

“Is that so? Well, what if I plan for us both to sing tonight?” He asked her, now making it into a game of making her wait to tease her.

“Oh?” Starlight snickered. “Is that what you’re after? Well, I don’t know the words to your songs.”

“Maybe I’ll just have to inspire you. It’s true that I can get rather promiscuous while we’re here-”

-Oh, promiscuous. Is that what you call it?” Starlight interrupted him as she laughed blatantly in his face.

“Heh, yes exactly. But that’s because I think you like being promiscuous with me. Especially here on the dance floor.” He said to her as if it were a challenge.

Raising an eyebrow to him she picked up on his game and said, “Oh is that so? You think I’m just this excitable little thing for you to lead astray to all the trouble you setup for me, don’t you?”

“Are you saying that you're not?” Rayne countered as the two bantered back and forth while stepping out onto the dance floor.

“I’m not just some toy for you Rayne. I like your game but I need you to respect me as well.” She admonished him, raising her chin to pretend that he had issued her some grave offense.

Magically lifting some letters and numbers into the air for Vinyl Rayne said, “Oh and who says I don’t, just because you let me enjoy you to the wildest ends of passion whenever we’re together.”

“OH! How dare you?!” She roared at him with a scowl as she knew everypony around was watching them now.

“Am I throwin' you off?” Rayne asked her just to make sure.

“Nope.” She said with a devious smirk, enjoying their mock fight.

“Didn't think so.” Just then the music aggressively kicked in and he stepped forward to dance up upon her like he knew she enjoyed him doing.

“How you doing, young lady?
That feelin' that you givin' really drives me crazy.
You don't have a player on the choke,
I was at a loss of words first time that we spoke.” He sang to her hard and stern as if they were fighting even though they were flirting.

However everypony around cheered in surprise as Starlight stomped her hoof and sang, charging forward to walk him back now instead

“You're looking for a girl that'll treat you right,
You lookin' for her in the day time with the light.”

“You might be the type if I play my cards right,
I'll find out by the end of the night.” He sang back as the two were dancing together now, each challenging the other just as assertively.

“You expect me to just let you hit it?
But will you still respect me if you get it?” Starlight was on fire now and was dropping more jaws than Rayne was as she sang.

“All I can do is try, gimme one chance,
What's the problem I can’t see no ring from your stance.” The two swung in each other’s arms as they danced. But the crowd laughed as Starlight pulled away when Rayne leaned in to kiss her on the dance floor.

“I be the first to admit it, I'm curious about you, you seem so innocent.”

“You wanna get in my world, get lost in it.
Boy I'm tired of running, let's walk for a minute.” She sang as she lead him now, both walking side by side while holding hooves and dancing as Rayne sang.

“Promiscuous girl, wherever you are.
I'm all alone and it's you that I want.” She smirked at his lyrics and countered with her own, not missing a single beat in the song.

“Promiscuous boy, you already know.
That I'm all yours, what you waiting for?” At this he tried again to kiss her and again she pulled away with a smirk.

“Promiscuous girl, you're teasing me!
You know what I want, and I got what you need!” He said while thrusting his hips as she looked away pretending not to be interested.

“Promiscuous boy, let's get to the point!
'Cause we're on a roll are you ready?” Then Starlight stomped her hoof hard and started marching Rayne back over himself.

“Roses are red,
Some diamonds are blue.
Chivalry is dead,
But you're still kinda cute!” Then she turned her back and blatantly started to walk away from him.

“Hey! I can't keep my mind off you.
Where you at? Do you mind if I come through?” Rayne asked as he fell into her game while he quickly gave chase.

“I'm out of this world, come with me to my planet.
Get you on my level. Do you think that you can handle it?” She asked, letting herself dance back into his arms.

“They call me Rayne,
I don’ need no crown.
Recognize game,
I'mma lay mine's down.” Starlight purred now as she dropped her attitude to melt against him. But then a moment later her guard was up again.

“I'm a big girl I can handle myself,
But if I get lonely I'mma need your help.
Pay attention to me, I don't talk for my health.”

“I want you on my team.”

“So does everypony else.” Now the crowd broke out into a laughing riot when she grabbed his mane and pulled it down over his face.

Quickly righting himself he returned back to her side as he tried to step up to the challenge that she was raising for him.
“Baby we can keep it on the low,
Let your guard down ain't nobody gotta know.
If you with it girl I know a place we can go.” He said while shooting a glace to Vinyl who quickly nodded.

“What kind of girl do you take me for?” She asked while playfully slapping Rayne in the face which only doubled his determination to sway her.

“Promiscuous girl, wherever you are.
I'm all alone, and it's you that I want.”

“Promiscuous boy, you already know.
That I'm all yours, what you waiting for?”

“Promiscuous girl, you're teasing me!
You know what I want, and I got what you need.”

“Promiscuous boy, let's get to the point!
'Cause we're on a roll, you ready?” She said as she snatched their hooves together and danced with him instead of running away now.

“Don't be mad, don't get mean.” Rayne sang as he swayed her forward.

“Don't get mad, don't be mean.” Starlight sang as she swayed him back.

“Hey! Don't be mad, don't get mean.” Rayne sang as he gave her a twirl.

“Don't get mad, don't be mean.” Starlight sang as she spun him back.

Now the two danced as close as they could get with each other right in front of everypony there in the dance club. They sang in each other’s ears just loud enough to make sure everyone could still hear the song.

“Wait! I don't mean no harm,
I can see you with my dress shirt on.” He dared as he unbuttoned the top button on his shirt.

Starlight didn’t miss the cue as she reached up and unbuttoned the next one on his shirt as she sang.
“I can see you with nothing on,
Feeling on me before you bring that on.”

“Bring that on?” Rayne sang as he was surprised by her boldness.

“You know what I mean.” She sang, turning her back to dance up against him.

“Girl, I'm a freak you shouldn't say those things.” Rayne sang as he held her hips which swayed to the beat like an unstoppable force.

“I'm only trying to get inside of your brain.
To see if you can work me the way you say.” She sang with her eyes closed as if it were no big deal.

“It's OK, it's alright.
I got something that you gon' like.” Rayne grinned as he rubbed himself up against her backside.

“Hey is that the truth or are you talking trash?
Is your game M.V.P. like the Wonderbolt Dash?” Starlight sang before gasping at the feeling of him digging into her backside.

“Promiscuous girl wherever you are.
I'm all alone and it's you that I want.”

“Promiscuous boy I'm calling your name!
But you're driving me crazy the way you're making me wait!” She cried out while almost dry humping her backside against him.

Grabbing her by the arm and forcefully spinning her around Rayne walked up upon her in the way that made her ears fold down and her stance buckle before him.

“Promiscuous girl you're teasing me!
You know what I want and I got what you need!” Rayne smirked seeing the yearning in her eyes.

“Promiscuous boy we're one and the same,
So we don't gotta play games no more!” She sang before thrusting her lips upon his and not even feeling embarrassed as Rayne lifted her off her hooves and began carrying her of the dance floor to the cheers of the crowd.

Starlight moaned into his mouth as they kissed while the lights and patrons of the club flashed before her eyes while she was being whisked away. It lit a fire in her whenever he could intimidate her with his singing and this time was proving to be no exception.

“Mmm, uhh, yeah...” She moaned becoming aware Rayne wasn’t taking her to the bar.
“Mhm, ohh, wait...” Starlight looked around as they kissed seeing them head backstage.
“Mmm, ouh, wha…” She questioned as a security guard stopped them until Vinyl nodded to let them through.

Author's Notes:

So, we are now officially 80 chapters in. That is quite the accomplishment in my opinion and what a mix of emotions this chapter was.

Poor Zecora. Rayne didn't want to hurt her feelings but the zebra was just put in her place. It seems that Rayne's harem is winding down. We already know that Applejack and Rainbow Dash are just his lovers but not technically his girlfriends anymore. And the same goes for Zecora now, they are no longer officially together. Rayne is down to dating only Starlight and Maud. What is going to happen?!

So who got the movie reference about improvisation? In the 2005 movie Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, a similar question was asked about how different individuals could know the lyrics to a song they've never heard. I found it fitting to include here.

And on that note, yes I know it's a tv show but every character in MLP FiM is totally a moron at one time or another. The elaborate naivety of every character is sometimes astounding. And I think it's true that part of their world literally runs on, "just because."

Now I know that not all of my readers drink alcohol or is old enough to drink alcohol, but I hope my references during the party's end were clear. Being in my thirties has given me plenty of time to build up my alcohol tolerance haha.

The song in this chapter is Promiscuous by Nelly Furtado. And you can expect the same hot tempo to carry through into the start of the next chapter. Out of all the mares that Rayne has slept with, Starlight has always had her scenes skipped. I feel that her passion is finally due some screen time so you can expect some hot action between her and Rayne in chapter 81.

Ohh and yeah there was a short bit of jealousy there when some stallion helped himself to feeling Starlight's flank. Those blue brothers have a pretty sneaky effective system down for separating mares from their stallions. They are minor characters at most and are not even intended to be named. But they are in the story for a reason and we will be seeing them again.
