Chapter 6: Hungover Like a Horse

Soarin and Applejack slowly woke up the next morning, with their bodies still intertwined. Applejack was the first to move, unintentional stimulating Soarin Jr., causing both him, and the Pegasus he belonged to, to jump. When he was standing above her their eyes met, both of them frozen to the spot. Soarin was silently cheering in his head, knowing that this means he finally managed to fuck Applejack, aka, the farmer's daughter. Applejack was frozen because she had no idea what had happened last night, and why she was in a field with Soarin standing over her. Although she was confused, Applejack did feel oddly satisfied, as if last night had been the best night of her life, which made her all the more confused. What did her and Soarin do that was so amazing, and why couldn't she remember any of it?

"So, how was your night?" Soarin asked, knowing that his must have been really amazing considering he finally managed to get in between her legs, and more.

"Uh..." Applejack stuttered off, now sure what to say, "Good?"

"Huh, okay," Soarin said slowly, not sure how to respond to something like that, but then again, she was more drunk than he was last night, so it wasn't surprising that she didn't even know what had happened. What Soarin didn't know was that Applejack was able to remember a little bit of it, but all she can remember was that Soarin called it a game, he climbed on top of her, and then she felt really good. Next thing she knew she woke up with him still on top of her.

"So..." Applejack said slowly as she looked around nervously, "Can you get off me please?" Soarin's cheeks flushed a little bit as he climbed off, his back stiffening as he heard a noise from behind him.

"What's going on over there?!" Scootaloo shouted as she stopped at the edge of the wheat field, her two friends coming up on either side of her.

"I don't know..." Applebloom said as she tried to get a better look, "Hey, isn't that my sister's hat?" There was silence as they all looked towards where Applebloom was pointing, Sweetie having to squint her eyes to get a better look at it. After a few minutes Sweetie made a noise, making Applejack and Soarin jump.

"Yeah, it is!" Sweetie squeaked, "I think I can see that Wonderbolt in there too!"

"The Wonderbolt with that weird thing hanging off his stomach?" Applebloom asked, making Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle look at her in confusion, They had both gone home and talked their sisters, or in Scootaloo's case, adopted sister, who promptly told them what it really was, but it seemed like no pony had explained it to Applebloom. While keeping their giggles at bay Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle started to move forwards, with Applebloom not far behind, the three of them closing in on the post love making ponies.

"What do we do?!" Soarin whispered, hoping that none of the fillies had really good hearing, "If they catch us like this they'll know we had sex!"

"Sex?" Applejack replied, not knowing what it really was. She knew that it was supposed to be saved until after marriage, but other than that she knew nothing. She had no idea how it was done, what it did, or why ponies thought it was fun.

"Yeah, we had s-" Soarin started to say just as the fillies burst into the depression that Soarin and Applejack had made the night before.

"Applejack!" they said all together, "Soarin?!" The fillies were looking at the two of them in confusion, not knowing what they had just walked onto. There was an eerie silence as the five ponies looked at each other, the only sound being the early morning breeze coming through the wheat. Scootaloo's eyes slowly moved away from Soarin's face and towards his rear end, where his dongle was hanging down from again.

"Uh, Soarin?" Scootaloo said with her cheeks turning bright red, "It's out again..." Soarin looked at her in confusion for a moment before he felt the cold breeze run across his wang, chilling him down to the bone.

"Oh..." Soarin said slowly as he looked for himself, seeing Sweetie's face turn red as well, "Fuck"

"Why is it out again?!" Sweetie cried, barely able to contain her embarrassment. When she had talked to Rarity about it she was told that seeing a stallion's little buddy was something only really beautiful mares could do, and here she was looking right at Soarin's with her two friends right beside her.

"I don't know, why don't you ask him or Applejack?" Scootaloo replied sarcastically, making Applebloom look towards her sister with imploring eyes. Silently Applebloom was asking Applejack what was going on, and why Soarin's weird thing was out again, as well as why it was making her friends blush. The only other times they've blushed was when some colts in the class tried to ask them out on dates, but they said no because no pony asked Applebloom, and they didn't want her to be left out.

"Well, we were, uh..." Applejack said slowly, trying to figure out what she could use as an excuse based off what she knew had happened, "Wrestling!"

"Wrestling?!" Scootaloo asked loudly, not believing Applejack for even a minute. Soarin Jr. was hanging all the way out and he was next to Applejack, who was still lying on the ground. In her mind she already knew what they had done, and so did Sweetie Belle, but neither of them wanted to actually say it. Applebloom looked closely at Applejack and Soarin for a minute before shrugging, the excuse managing to go under the radar for her, but just barely. Applejack was close to exploding with the truth, her honesty really being tested, but as soon as Applebloom shrugged she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well, okay, but we should head to the house," Applebloom said, sounding older than she was, even though she was still so innocent that she believed Applejack's lie, "You two look like you need a hot shower"

"Oh, Applejack had a hot shower last night, that's for sure..." Soarin said without any hesitation, and he immediately regretted it. Applejack and Applebloom looked at him in confusion, while Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle's faces turned bright red again, the only difference that Scootaloo had started to laugh when she realized what it meant. Soarin's own face turned red for the first time, embarrassed that he had made such a dirty joke in front of two fillies, and it didn't help that Scootaloo was rolling around on the ground laughing.

"Ok calm down you three, let's go to the farmhouse," Applejack said, wanting to go for a shower now that Applebloom had mentioned it, "Actually, what are you three doing out here on your own at this time in the morning?" Applebloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie looked at each other in confusion, because they had thought that Applejack knew the answer already.

"We were trying to get out camping cutie marks, we asked Big Mac for permission," Applebloom said, getting nervous that Applejack might get angry with her for not letting her know, "He said we could sleep outside out clubhouse because if it got too cold we could go into it for safety"

"Did you ask Sweetie's parents, or Rainbow Dash?" Applejack asked, looking towards Sweetie and Scootaloo. The two of them looked at each other before shaking nervously, feeling very guilty that they had stayed out all night without letting anypony know that they were doing it. Applejack sighed and shook her head at the two of them, knowing that in the end either her of Big Mac were going to get crap for it since they stayed on the farm. As they five of them made their way up the path to the farm house an orange bolt came flying down, landing in front of Soarin with an angry look on her face.

"Quit trotting along with your marefriend and let's go!" Spitfire shouted at him, "We have to get going to the next town, we've delayed for you to get your shit in line!" Soarin mumbled in surprise, not knowing exactly what was going on as he was dragged away by Spitfire. Applejack and the fillies turned around in confusion, while Soarin struggled to get free of Spitfire's grip.

"She's not my marefriend!" Soarin shouted as he broke free, his eyes locking onto Applejack onto as he balanced himself out, a sudden feel of guilt coming over him. Applejack looked like she had just been told her parents were dead all over again, and Soarin had been the one to tell her. The three fillies were looking between themselves in confusion, not knowing what they were meant to do in a situation like this. Eventually Applejack stepped forwards, giving Soarin a soft kiss on the nose.

"Thanks for taking me out last night..." Applejack said sadly, "It was my first date you know" Upon hearing that Soarin felt like the lowest form of life on the planet, and Spitfire gave him a small bit of pity, letting him stand there in silence until he was ready to go. When he finally turned around she saw his emotionless face, and wanted to tell him everything was okay, that he wasn't that bad of a pony, but she also knew that wouldn't do anything.

"Are you ready to go?" Spitfire asked cautiously, not knowing if he was about to blow or not. She's seen him blow up, and it isn't pretty. The last time he blew up was after they broke up, and he ended up on probation for destroying at least 1000 bits of public property by throwing things at it. He was almost thrown in jail because when he ran out of things to throw he started throwing his own shit, as well as jerking off in front of people's windows. That blow up was so surreal that Pegasi call it the Soarin Shitstorm.

"Yes" Soarin answered with no emotion, scaring Spitfire with how straight forward he was being.

"Are you going to be able to fly at the next show?" Spitfire asked, fully ready to give him some time off now that he was on the edge, but he shook his head slowly. For a moment Spitfire thought that she had seen a tear run down his face before he answered her.

"Yes" Soarin replied, starting to go over the edge, "Let's just get going, or everypony's going to regret it" Spitfire nervously shook her head, a bit of fear growing inside of her as she looked at Soarin, his emotionless face making her want to run for the hills. Back down on the ground Applejack and the fillies were standing in complete silence, and just then the sun came over the horizon, it's bright light making the hangovers that Soarin and Applejack had waiting for them kick in. At the moment the light hit the two of them they sang a duet of,

"OH FUCK MY HEAD! WHY DOES IT HURT SO MUCH?!"

Later that night after Applebloom had gone to bed and the other two had been dealt with, Applejack went to Granny to ask an important question.

"Granny, what's sex?" Applejack asked, feeling her cheeks instinctively turn red from the word.

"Eh?" Granny asked, not sure if she heard her right, "Did you just ask me what sex is?"

"Eeyup," Applejack replied, being a bit impatient because she wanted an answer soon before things became really awkward.

"Well, sex is when a mare and a stallion really love each other, and want to have foals," Granny started explaining, "The stallion with mount the mare, and when his penis is erect he will put it into her vagina, then pull it out, then put it back in, then pull it out again, and pu-"

"I got that bit Granny, but what happens next?" Applejack asked, her cheeks flushed red from Granny's description.

"Ok, well after that the stallion with ejaculate, or as the kids these days call it, cum, inside the mare" Granny continued, "Then they will stop, and the mare has a chance of getting pregnant"

"What's pregnancy?" Applejack asked, having learned nothing of that in her life either.

"Sometimes I wish your mother was here to teach you these things," Granny sighed as she prepared to teach Applejack about pregnancy, "When a mare is pregnant a foal, or foals in some cases, will start to grow in their stomachs, or wombs. After eleven or so months they will give birth, and the foals will be pushed into this world" Applejack looked at Granny with sad eyes, giving Granny an idea why Applejack was asking these sorts of questions.

"You had sex with Soarin, didn't you dear?" Granny asked, making Applejack blush and nod, "Congratulations, I'm happy you found such a reliable coltfriend" When Granny said coltfriend she saw Applejack visibly jerk, just the thought of Soarin being her coltfriend making her feel like a moron. Without saying anything Applejack got off the couch and headed upstairs, silently telling Granny what happened.

"I'm so sorry Applejack..." Granny said, feeling bad for sounding so happy about her and Soarin having sex. When Applejack made it to her room she shut and locked the door, wanting no pony to bother her until she was done crying. As she put her head into her pillow she looked out her window, seeing the Wonderbolt's building crew tearing down the stadium they had made, which signalled that they were about to leave to the next town.

"Good riddance..." Applejack said quietly as she began to cry, quickly shoving her face into her pillow so that no pony else could hear her.
