Chapter 4: The Next Morning

Soarin was slowly waltzing out of the barn as the sun rose over the horizon, six tired mares panting behind him. Unfortunately for Big Red, as Soarin decided to call Applejack's brother, Rainbow Dash was more interested in banging a Wonderbolt than some dumb ol' farmer boy. When she started to put the moves on Soarin the others started to fall in line behind her and soon enough he was having the time of his life. He couldn't count the number of times he had gotten off the night before, but what he did know, was that every mare was absolutely filled to the brim as he left. As Soarin made he way out of the barn he was met by the raised flanks of every mare in Ponyville, all of their tails moved off to the side so he had a clear view of the goods.

"Oh, I'm going to have fun with this!" Soarin said happily as he jumped forwards to start it off with the first mare, but as he got in position Big Mac popped up on the other side, and quickly punched Soarin in the face.

"AH!" Soarin shouted as he snapped awake, his heart doing tiny rainbooms in his chest. Looking around let Soarin know that he was in the Apple Family's house, but that didn't tell him exactly where, or rather, who's room he was in. Looking into the bed next to him he saw a small bit of blond fur sticking out from under the covers, so he assumed he was with Applejack. Throwing the sheet off the bed, expecting to find a very tired mare, Soarin was caught completely off guard.

"AAAAA!" Soarin squealed in fear, "I'M SO DEAD!" Laying there, in the bed next to him, was Applejack's little sister, Applebloom...

"What's going on?!" Big Mac shouted as the door to Applebloom's door slammed open, with him and Rainbow coming through it right after. When Big Mac looked down at the bed his expression changed almost instantly from worry to pure hatred, but before he could beat Soarin into a bloody pulp beyond recognition Applejack pushed him aside.

"What is all this yelling for?" Applejack asked sternly, sounding like an angry mother.

"The idiot is in bed with Applebloom!" Big Mac shouted, pointing a hoof towards Soarin, who was just happy he would get to live a few more minutes, and that he hadn't shit himself, yet. Applejack turned and looked at Soarin, just as Applebloom was stirred from her peaceful slumber.

"Why is everypony in my room?" Applebloom asked, still half asleep.

"Because he is!" Big Mac said quickly, rage still in his eyes as he glared at Soarin.

"Oh, yeah he fell asleep in here last night," Applebloom said calmly, a happy smile on her face, "He read me a bedtime story"

"I did?" Soarin asked, surprised that he would do such a thing, which apparently was a view shared by the other three because they had all echoed him with, "He did?"

"Yup," Applebloom said, not knowing what the issue was, "Applejack was asleep already and you two were busy doing 'adult stuff', so I asked him and he said sure. He fell asleep half way through the story so I put the cover over him and climbed in, reading the rest of the story myself" A look of disbelief was on everypony's faces as they stared at Applebloom, but Applejack's gaze soon shifted over towards her brother and best friend.

"Why are you here Rainbow?" Applejack asked, again sounding like a mother.

"Um..." Rainbow said slowly, not having had an excuse lined up in case she was caught.

"She stayed here because she fell asleep at the party," Big Mac said, sounding unsure of his excuse.

"Uh huh..." Applejack said, knowing that he was probably lying, "So what 'adult stuff' were you two doing?" Rainbow and Big Mac's faces drained of color as they both tried to come up with some kind of excuse that would make sense, but there wasn't anything that they could think of. While they tried, and admittedly failed, to come up with an excuse, Soarin decided to have a little fun.

"Hey Big Mac, did you remember to pull out?" Soarin asked, making Big Mac's face get a little whiter, "Did you do it on her face?" Big Mac's natural red color seemed to have disappear, and if he got any whiter he might be mistaken for an albino.

"And how was he Rainbow?" Soarin asked, barely holding in a laugh, "Is he really Big Mac?" Rainbow started to shake nervously, and when she hit her breaking point she shot towards Big Mac's room and out the window, going so fast she managed to pull of a Sonic Rainboom on her way home. Applejack was less than impressed with her exit though, and even less impressed at how Big Mac wasn't answering her question.

"What 'adult stuff' were you two doing last night?" Applejack asked again, making her irritation very evident in her voice. Soarin was snorting from time to time of the bed as he tried to hold in his laughter, barely being able to stop himself from exploding at how innocent Applejack was. She was a twenty something mare, and she didn't know what sex was, and it was just too funny for Soarin.

"Oh, well would you look at the time!" Big Mac said suddenly, his voice at least an octave higher than normal, "I should go out to the fields now, otherwise those apples won't get bucked" Big Mac quickly ran out of the room, his hoofsteps echoing down the hallway after him.

"Oh, I bet your apples got bucked plenty last night!" Soarin called after him, getting a sharp glare from Applejack.

"What are you talking about?" Applejack asked, "Do you know what they were doing last night?"

"Yup," Soarin said with a cocky smile, "But I ain't gonna tell you" Applejack gave Soarin an angry glare before she trotted out of the room, leaving him alone with Applebloom. Before Soarin could chase after her Applebloom jumped up onto his back and gave him a hug, which caught him completely off guard.

"Thanks for reading me the Headless Horse story!" Applebloom cheered before she let go, her hooves clicking on the wood floor as she ran down the hall and the stairs so she could get her breakfast. Now that he was all alone Soarin had no idea what to do. He was in an unknown house, surrounded by ponies he met yesterday, and he was pretty sure Spitfire was still pissed at him.

"Hmm..." Soarin mumbled as he made his way out of Applebloom's room, deciding to peek into Applejack's for a bit of adventure. Her hat was hanging off the end of her bedpost, and other than that her room was fairly simple. Out of curiosity he made his way towards the closet in the back of the room, opening it quietly so he could see what was inside, and he was pleasantly surprised by what he saw.

"Applejack was the mare that sold me that amazing pie at the Gala a few years ago!" Soarin shouted quietly in joy. He knew that he had seen her somewhere before, and seeing her tattered Gala dress was the final piece of the puzzle for him. While he was silently enjoying his realization Applejack came into the room, and he had to act fast. Without thinking he jumped into the closet, and luck was on his side, because Applejack hadn't seen him.

"That stupid Pegasus is so annoying..." Applejack sighed as she finished drying herself off, showing Soarin her apple pie in the process, "Why can't he just leave me alone and go bother some other mare..." Applejack continued to dry herself off as Soarin silently complained in her closet, barely managing to contain his urge to jump out right then and there.

"Why would she want me to bother some other mare?" Soarin whispered to himself, "I'm a Pegasus in his prime! Every mare should know that we can please them in ways no other pony can!" Applejack heard him talking, but it was so quiet that she passed it off as somepony talking from downstairs, rather than inside her closet, so she kept getting ready.

"Although he is kinda good looking..." Applejack whispered to herself, her cheeks flushing a bit red as she thought about Soarin sweeping her off her hooves. He could just fly down one day while she was bucking apples, take her up to a romantic restaurant, back to his place and then...

"No, that'll never happen," Applejack said as she shook her head. She didn't even know what would happen next. Would they drink cider and get completely wasted before going to bed? Would they do whatever Big Mac and Rainbow had done last night? Would he just see her home and that's it, maybe giving her a kiss? She honestly had no idea, but the mystery of it made going on one romantic date with him seem like a better and better idea every minute she thought about it. Now Soarin just couldn't help it, his ego was getting the better of him, and with a deep breath he pushed open the closet door.

"Your Romeo is here m'lady!" Soarin said in his best Canterlot accent, earning himself a pillow to the face. Unluckily for him Applejack had thrown the pillow with everything she had, so it ended up knocking him flat on his ass. When he managed to sit up he saw Applejack sitting on her bed with a pillow at the ready in case he tried anything stupid.

"What the hell were you doing in my closet?" Applejack asked angrily, her face still a little red from her blush.

"I was just looking around, that's all," Soarin said pitifully, sounding more like a wounded dog than a Wonderbolt, "I didn't mean to surprise you like that"

"Bull shit," Applejack said flatly.

"No, I'm being honest!" Soarin pleaded, "I saw that you were at the Gala a few years ago and got distracted, so when you came in I jumped into your closet!"

"You aren't helping your case at all you know," Applejack said mockingly, "Now you just seem like a creeper that goes through girls' stuff. I bet you even go on panty raids every Friday" Soarin's pride took a big hit when she mentioned panty raids every Friday. The last time he did a Panty raid was back in his last year at Wonderbolts Academy, but it was more of a revenge plot than anything. Spitfire's friend was badmouthing him to every mare in the Academy and none of them wanted to go to their prom with him, so he decided to get back at her by sneaking into her room. Inside he found some pretty kinky shit. Ball gags, paddles, even a dildo! Of course he used this to black mail her and no pony else ever found out, but he was able to see what all three were used for the next night, and he still got to steal a pair of her panties! Although, Soarin had to be honest, he's never seen a pair of lingerie with a dildo on it since then, and he still didn't know why she had it...

"Hey fly boy, you got something to say or are you just going to sit there staring at me like the idiot you are?" Applejack interrupted, snapping Soarin out of his memories.

"Sorry, just remembering my last panty raid..." Soarin said slowly before realizing what he just admitted to, "I mean my last, uh... Muffin raid!"

"Sure, sure..." Applejack said quietly as she got up to leave, but not before grabbing her pillow off of Soarin's lap, "Oh that is disgusting!" Soarin gave her a look of confusion before he looked down, only now noticing that Soarin Jr. was at full attention, hoping to go on a panty raid of his own. All the commotion from Applejack's room had woken Granny up, and from the doorway the two of them heard her laugh.

"I wouldn't mind gettin' me some a' that!" Granny cooed from the doorway, making Applejack and Soarin share a look of pure disgust, "I bet he'd break my other hip with that beast!"

"Granny!" Applejack shouted, her face burning red from embarrassment.

"Hey, get it while it's hot AJ!" Granny shouted back, followed by a hearty laugh. Applejack's face was burning bright red, and Soarin had the urge to laugh, but the awkwardness of it all kept him silent until a thought came into his head. Applejack seemed to like him in someway, so what if he tried to win her over, then maybe she'd bend over and let him buck her, but how could he do that...

"Hey Applejack," Soarin asked silently as he stood up, trying to hide his little buddy as best he could, "Would you want to go out sometime?" Applejack was taken back by the sudden question, but as her thoughts from before came rushing back to her all she could say was.

"Sure..."
