The City That Lives (IC, Steampunk/Pony/Anthro/Human)

[Pinki3 Pon-3]

Grace stared blankly at Blink as she rambled about with all her questions, mostly blushing really heavily as she heard her talk at an incredible speed, spitting out words as far as the eye could see, which basically was the bathroom. So whenever they could, they bounced off the cool metallic walls, which gave Grace shivers all over her body as she trotted over to the bathtub and giggled softly as she turned the water on for the shower, pressing down on the stopper at the tub's bottom. "Oh, you can, I'm helping you now! And... well, I think that he does. Matter a fact, I think that he's really in love with me!" She nodded cockily, flashing a bright smirk.

"As for Mac, yes..." Grace's smug look faltered and she frowned slightly. "That's what he does, but yeah... you can help well enough with the none gangy stuff, Blinkey!" She gave the same grin Blink did when they first came to her home, taking out a bottle of body lotion and pouring it all over Blink, scrubbing her hooves all over Blink's body with exception of her neck. "As for what a marefriend is... well, Concerto's already said it for coltcuddlers, so why not?" She smiled warmly with the bottle in her mouth before spitting it out carelessly into the basin. "Marefriend is a term for a mare that likes another mare, Blinkey. Coltcuddler is the term for a stallion that likes another stallion." She let out a brief sigh, tinged with a hint of bliss as she continued scrubbing Blink's body with the lotion and running water all over her now, the bathtub slowly filling with water.

Blink smiled cheerfully and giggled, "Water feels funny. Its all . . . Clingy and stuff." She said and squealed in delight as she splashed around in the water a little. "If you and Mac get married that means you're gonna be my mommy. That would be fun, you being my mommy and Shimmer being my sister. You'd be both our mommies. But what if Mac loves Concerto too? Then he'll be my daddy as well. I don't mind who Mac chooses, you're both really nice. Are you a marefriend? Do you like mares, like how Concerto likes stallions? If I were an older mare would you like me? What's it like being a marefriend? You are a marefriend right?" She said hyperactively and watched excitedly as the water filled up around her hooves. She giggled and teleported above the bath, landing in the water with a big splash, "WEEE!!!" She yelled excitedly. "Waters fun." She said with a giggle.

Shamrock bit his lip, knowing that the pegasus might not be aware of his condition. So, brought his notebook closer to him. The green alicorn wrote, in fancy handwriting: "Greetings, Sir. My name is Shamrock. What is yours?" After moment, Shamrock turned red, and, to show him, his inability, padded on his throat, and shook his head. So, before showing the notebook to Mac, he wrote underneath his initial greetings: "Born a mute; can't talk."

Pitch smiled brightly, glad to see that he was doing the massage right. As, he continued his procedure, he brought his face closer to Roo's back, and kissed it gently. "I am doing a nice job, aren't I?" he said, as he kissed the vixen's back some more, while still rubbing her back. "What do you want to do after this?" he asked, flirtatiously.

Mac read the note and sighed, "Well that's a shame. My name's Mac, ye'll be quite welcome in our little band of misfits." He said with a smile and stood aside to let Shamrock in. "Please come in, welcome ta me house. It's nothin' huge, just what I need . . . ", Mac paused having noticed the hole left by the Flitter. He took a deep breath and sighed as he looked around. "Silver, ye bloody bastard, one o' these days I'm gonna skin ye and turn ye inta a rug." He muttered and turned to the table with the map on it. "Have a seat, I'll get us somethin' ta eat. What would ye like?"

Meanwhile Roo moaned softly at the touch of Pitch's lips. She sighed blissfully as he continued massaging her back. "You know, I think I'll leave that up to you, my love." She said in blissful relaxation. "You sure can massage, oh I wish I had taught you this on the first day. But we can do whatever you feel like doing next Pitch." She said with her eyes closed as she released another blissful sigh and reached her arm backwards to stroke Pitch's mane.

Oddity smiled broadly as an overwhelming sense of anxiety swept over him. He felt like he was back in school again, in the lunchroom, with a filly. The grey stallion couldn't put his hoof on why he was nervous, but it seemed to happen every time he took a mare or stallion out on a date. He giggled nervously for a moment and hid behind his hooves. "I, uh- Y-yes. Yes. That is what this is..." he said laconically.

Shimmer smiled and nodded uncertainly. Romance and affections weren't something she knew well, her work meant she was very detached from social 'norms'. She looked down at her plate and blushed profusely. "I . . . Umm . . . I-I d-don't really know what to say now." She said with a smile. What she had expected was, 'No it's just a kind gesture' or something like that but it definitely explained his willingness to go to such an expensive restaurant. Shimmer looked up at Oddity shyly, he wasn't a bad looker it was just her job was what came first for her, always. Blink came before everything. She took another shy bite of her salad and looked to Oddity again, after what seemed like hours (but was in fact a minute) of deliberating she smiled, "I-I g-guess I couldn't say no to you after all this." She said and blushed. "I-I m-mean, y-you're a really nice stallion Oddity, and w-we can . . . I don't know." She said and put her head in her hooves as she tried to think things through. She smiled again and sighed, "I feel an affection for you too Oddity. But I'm not sure if it will work out with Blink and all." She said sort of apologetically. "But we can try, we can definitely try." She said with a smile. "That's if you still want to after I've acted like a complete idiot." She said and looked down embarrassedly.

Concerto

Concerto couldn't help but smile at Shudder's touch. Damn, I wish Mac would touch me like that. He happily wished as he listened closely to Shudder. "Everything. After spending a decade and a half behind a desk writing out symphonies, I need to get every part of my body in shape." Concerto said, warmly, as he walked. If a filly can beat me in a fight, I know that I need help. Needless to say, I'd really, really, really rather not have something like that ever happen again... He thought, wishing he could forget his first meeting with Blink.

Shudder nodded and removed his hoof, giving Concerto some space while he inspected his body. "Well, in that case I think we'll start with some stamina training, situps, push ups, jumping jacks, yes believe it or not they actually help, then a bit of running just to get your hoof muscles going. I don't think we'll do much weight training just yet, in any case, you don't really need it but it does help a bit so we can do some." Shudder said with a warm smile as Shiv nodded in agreement. Shudder looked ahead and then back at Concerto, "It will be tough and you might hate me a little but trust me it's not that bad when you're finished." He said with a smile, "And you'll also have some muscles to add to that amazing figure of yours." He said with a smile and Shiv responded with another nod.

Pavel Woke up he was still at macs house and was asleep on one of his chairs. His felt rested and he could not stop thinking about the dream. Then pavel realized he was the only person he could see that was in macs house. Them Pavel said to himself with a jolly laugh," I guess i should make my self at home". He lauged again and started to look around the house. He eventually stumbled upon a bottle of whisky and some cheese so he sat down and started to eat.

Mac, who was on his way to the kitchen for food nodded to Pavel, "Yer welcome ta the food, its all stolen in any case." He said with a chuckle. "Oh yeah, could ye do me a favour and check that room over there? Blink told me there were funny smell comin' from there. Wouldn't want the place burnin' down would we?" He said with a chuckle.

Grace happily slid down part of the pavement on her street, Inventitive Avenue Stretch, jubilantly galloping in other parts as she went along with Blink riding on her back, her head turning around every so often to greet Blink's beaming face, hopeful that that constant attention will prevent her from turning as depressed as she was earlier on. As she turned around to smile broadly at the little filly, she pitied her state in her mind as she stared into her eyes. "Who knew that such a happy pony could've such a sad past?" She sighed mentally. "And that she's not always had that kind of smile... and for a filly at her age!" She turned back again, narrowly passing by a stallion trotting by randomly, who waved with a bit of a tepid smile to her. She turned her entire body around in one felt swoop and a skidding past one of the weirdest houses on the street and she beamed.

"Looks like we're here, Blinkey!" Grace waved to her dad, who waved back while shrinking a little at the sight of Blink.

Blink had been giggling and squealing with filly-ish delight with every rolling maneuver. She grinned broadly when they arrived and threw her hooves into the air. "YAY! Wow! Your house is nice! Do you use all the rooms? I mean, my house is really big but I only have one room in it so it's actually pretty small. Shimmer has like 3 rooms, she says they're mine as well but the doctors always told me I only had one room." She said cheerfully and shrugged, "OH, who's that pony hmm? The stallion, what's his name?" She asked excitedly.

Pavel Looked at mac and said with a chuckle," Anyone who lets me sleep on there chairs and eat a tiny bit of there food i can do a favor for". Then mac realized that the room mac pointed at was the room pavel used to make his bombs most of them highly explosive of in the case of the dragons breath bomb catch fire. Pavel walked into the room and started to find the soure of the smell and realized that it was coming from a unfinished fire bomb he was making before he passed out on macs chair. Pavel in a calm voice with a hint of panic said," Pavel i found the source of the smell it is coming from a fire bomb i was making. It sprug a leak and i need to repair it so it will not catch fire".

Shamrock grinned at the burger in front of him. Before eating, he wrote in his notebook: "Thank you." and showed it to Mac. The green alicorn then brought the veggieburger towards him, with his magic, and took a bite out of it. Mmmmm! he thought, Mac is sure a great cook! My parents would probably hire him as a cheif, if they had a taste of his cooking. As Shamrock ate, he wrote in his notebook: "You're a great cook, Mac."

Pitch giggled, anf began to move his hooves in a circular motion, applying pressure to stomach, "How's this?" he asked, "Am I doing this right, Roo?" Pitch continued to apply pressure with his hooves, moving in a circular motion, while gently kissing the vixen's chest.

Mac smiled and nodded, "Yer welcome. I've been cookin' fer meself fer years. Ye learn a few things about how ta make food then." He said with a smile. "We're workin' ta try and stop the city from killin' us all." Mac said with a smile. "So far, that's hurt a lot." He said with a chuckle as he gestured to his injuries. "So, ye've come ta join but we can worry about that all later. How 're ye?" He said with a smile.

Roo smiled and kissed his snout, "Pitch, you do everything just right for me. Because those are your hooves on my fur, nopony else's." She said blissfully and placed her own padded paws on his chest. She looked down at his chest and swam up close before leaning her head on his shoulder. "Thank you Pitch." She said softly and sighed happily.

Blink smiled cheerfully and giggled, "Water feels funny. Its all . . . Clingy and stuff." She said and squealed in delight as she splashed around in the water a little. "If you and Mac get married that means you're gonna be my mommy. That would be fun, you being my mommy and Shimmer being my sister. You'd be both our mommies. But what if Mac loves Concerto too? Then he'll be my daddy as well. I don't mind who Mac chooses, you're both really nice. Are you a marefriend? Do you like mares, like how Concerto likes stallions? If I were an older mare would you like me? What's it like being a marefriend? You are a marefriend right?" She said hyperactively and watched excitedly as the water filled up around her hooves. She giggled and teleported above the bath, landing in the water with a big splash, "WEEE!!!" She yelled excitedly. "Waters fun." She said with a giggle.

(It is retroactively assumed from here that they said "fillyfeeler" instead of "marefriend")

"It sure is fun, isn't it?" She giggled, looking down at Blink affectionately as she recounted all the questions that were barraged at her previously. "Yes, I'll be your mummy if we get married and Shimmer's still gonna be your sister if we get married, Blinkey." She giggled again, pressing her nose gently against Blink's and rubbing it playfully before pulling away, a bit of foam covering her mouth. She laughed heartily as she whipped it off her nose and looked back to Blink again. "Then if he marries both of us... hmm..." A stab went through her heart at the thought, but she simply smiled and nodded. "Yes. Concerto will be your daddy too and I'm certainly glad that you don't mind either of us being your parents: He's a great stallion, even if we're both fighting for Mac's love." She giggled softly, ending with a sigh filled with brevity as she let out all her jealousy towards Concerto out.

"As for me being a fillyfeeler... well..." She chuckled, looking away from Blink briefly. "I'm not one. Simple as that: I've been attracted to colts since day one!" She nodded proudly as the mental image of Sunbreaker kept interfering her mind and she sighed inwardly, keeping her face straight through until the thoughts finally made her relent. "Maybe I am just a little... but only a little!" She laughed as she gave a broad grin, helping Blink to clean up still as her hooves went all over her..

Shamrock frowned slightly. He placed his burger down onto the table before writing: "I lost several friends to the machine. I'm glad to finally be able to do something about it. It's so hard to speak out, without a voice to speak with. Anyway, I'm doing fine. How are you, doing?"

Pitch smiled at Roo, as he continued his massage, and brought his face down towards her head, giving her a kiss. "You're welcome." he said, "I'm glad that everything I do for you is just right... Sorry for getting you fired though."

Blink smiled and giggled again as Grace cleaned her up, "Your hooves tickle." She said cheerfully as she giggled more and reared in the bath. She slipped up and slid onto her back. She looked around in confusion and burst out into more giggles as she splashed around some more in the water. She smiled up at Grace and giggled. "Bathing is fun! Do you bath a lot? I would if I had a bath. I don't mind if you're a fillyfeeler. That's like coltcuddlers, some people don't like coltcuddlers, I think they're stupid. They're just being silly meanies!" She said with a giggle. She squirmed and splashed around in the bath until she was right way around and hugged Grace. "Thank you Gracey, this is fun!" She said cheerfully.

She said with a giggle. She squirmed and splashed around in the bath until she was right way around and hugged Grace. "Thank you Gracey, this is fun!" She said cheerfully.

Grace smiled warmly and giggled softly as she watched Blink splash and swim about the bathtub, the water now almost filling the tub full to the brim with it whilst she nodded along literally every question she heard, apart from her first one. "I'll be sure to bath more in the future, Blinkey!" She giggled again as she watched the water threatening to overflow out onto the floor before she plainly tilted her head over to the tap, gripping tightly onto it with her teeth, and switched the water off, Grace herself watching the water undulate and swoosh about with reckless abandon before it soaked Grace to the brim with water. She shivered slightly and chuckled, hugging Blink back, forever mindful not to wrap her hooves around Blink's neck. "No problem, Blinkey! I told you I'd give you a bath and you're sure as heck going to get one!" She splashed water jubilantly over Blink and leapt into the bathtub, playing about in the bathtub with Blink and splashing water all over her like a little filly, essentially locking her in a battle of wits. A battle about splashing water over the other's body.

Pavel went to work reapiring the fire bombs he was sure he would be able to fix it. He started to think to himself," remember what the expert said about reparing bombs". As repaired it he saw one of the bombs catch on fire he screamed on threw it out the window luckly it landed in a well near by. As he finshed repairing he noticed his hands where badly burned so after he finished the job he walked out of the room and looked for somthing to treat the burns.

[Pinki3 Pon-3]

Shamrock frowned slightly. He placed his burger down onto the table before writing: "I lost several friends to the machine. I'm glad to finally be able to do something about it. It's so hard to speak out, without a voice to speak with. Anyway, I'm doing fine. How are you, doing?"

Mac smiled, "Oh I'm a little sore but otherwise I'm good." He said cheerfully and bit into his veggie burger. "I can imagine how little anyone pays attention ta yer writin'." He said and shook his head, "But ye don't need ta worry about not bein' heard here." He paused as he heard Pavel speak from the bomb room, "WELL YE'RE THE EXPLOSIVE'S EXPERT!" He yelled in reply and chuckled. "We'll surely need yer help." He said with a smile.

Roo giggled and kissed his neck. "You got me fired AND evicted baby." She said with a giggle and sighed. "Which simply means I get to stay with you now. And if I were working Oddity would have me working clients all night. I don't think I'd enjoy clients now that I have you" Roo said as she wrapped her hands around his body.

pavel hearing that said to mac in his russian accent," I know i am the expert i have stopped the fire bombs from going of by themselves. But the reason i screamed and yelled is becauses i burned my damm hands saving your house from catching on fire"!

A battle about splashing water over the other's body.

Blink giggled cheerfully and splashed water at Grace. She teleported into the air and fell into the bath, splashing water everywhere. She stuck her head up above the water and blushed, "Whoopsies. I made a mess." She said with a giggle and hugged Grace before splashing water onto her flank. "Bathing with you is fun Grace! Thank you sooooo much!" She said excitedly and smiled ecstaticly. She lay back in the bath and let herself slide under the water so only her nose and eyes stuck up above the water. She then burst out giggling and swallowed some water. She sat up straight and coughed heavily to force the water out. She coughed heavily and smiled weakly as the water finally left her throat. "Bathwater tastes funny." She said with a giggle.

pavel hearing that said to mac in his russian accent," I know i am the expert i have stopped the fire bombs from going of by themselves. But the reason i screamed and yelled is becauses i burned my damm hands saving your house from catching on fire"!

Mac shrugged, "Well my house happens ta have the food yer eatin' in it so yeah. Think of it this way, if ye hadn't burnt yer hands all the food woulda burnt up." He said nonchalantly. "Just make sure yer bombs don't trash me house more than whatever made that hole." He said gesturing to the hole left by the Flitter.

Grace gasped at how Blink went under the water and burst out swallowing some water, her breath becoming increasingly erratic as she saw her almost suffocate due to the water in her mouth. Furiously, she began patting Blink's back hard to help force the water out, letting out a sigh of relief and giggling softly as she heard Blink's remark, laughing nervously, wishing nothing more than to hug her tightly for what had just happened. "Y-you're welcome..." She smiled weakly as well, gazing at the water, now full of foam from the lotion. "Oh, I almost forgot! Shampoo!" She pulled out a bottle and began scrubbing it all over Blink's mane and tail.

Pavel said to mac," That hole oh that was caused by the fire bomb a threw out the window some of the pices must have burn a hole in your wall before it landed in the well". Then pavel started to treat his burns while thinking," I really hope i fixed up all the bombs". Then he took a huge of whisky he brought out from macs kitchen.

Shamrock frowned slightly. He placed his burger down onto the table before writing: "I lost several friends to the machine. I'm glad to finally be able to do something about it. It's so hard to speak out, without a voice to speak with. Anyway, I'm doing fine. How are you, doing?"

True. thought Shamrock, Even though, my parents taught me how to communicate, with writing, even they tend to ignore me sometimes. Then he eyed awkwardly towards where Mac was yelling at, and then brought his attention back to him, with a nod. He took another bite out of his burger, before writing: "I'll be happy to help." Then, when Shamrock saw Pavel enter the room, from the kitchen, he wrote on another page: "Hello, Sir. My name is Shamrock. What's yours?" He then tore the page out, and brought towards Pavel, with his magic.

---

Pitch giggled. "So, it's a good thing, I got you fired, and evicted." he said, "I'm glad you're cool with it." Pitch continued his massage, while kissing Roo, on the chest. "Let me know, when to do your back, again, okay?" he said, "Unless, you want yo go play in the waterfall, now. It's up to you."

She pulled out a bottle and began scrubbing it all over Blink's mane and tail.

Blink giggled and squirmed as Grace scrubbed her mane. She snatched the bottle and teleported behind Grace and squirted most of the shampoo out on Grace's mane and tail. "Don't forget your mane and tail Gracey! You can't sit in the bath and not bath!" She said with a giggle. She scrubbed Grace's mane and hummed a cheerful tune before she teleported back in front of Grace and smiled at Grace who was now a mass of bubbles and fluff. "You look funny with bubbles!" She said and pulled some of the bubbles off before throwing them into the air. She giggled and splashed again as they floated back down. A few landed on her snout and she sneezed, splashing water everywhere. "Bubbles are funny! Bathing is funny! Thank you Grace, what are we going to have to eat? I like salads, salads are nice. Shimmer is a good cook, she makes nice cupcakes too, do you want a cupcake?" She said and her body blinked and suddenly she was holding a cupcake out to Grace, "Here's a cupcake, cause you're pretty and nice and stuff."

Mac smiled, "Oh I'm a little sore but otherwise I'm good." He said cheerfully and bit into his veggie burger. "I can imagine how little anyone pays attention ta yer writin'." He said and shook his head, "But ye don't need ta worry about not bein' heard here." He paused as he heard Pavel speak from the bomb room, "WELL YE'RE THE EXPLOSIVE'S EXPERT!" He yelled in reply and chuckled. "We'll surely need yer help." He said with a smile.

Roo giggled and kissed his neck. "You got me fired AND evicted baby." She said with a giggle and sighed. "Which simply means I get to stay with you now. And if I were working Oddity would have me working clients all night. I don't think I'd enjoy clients now that I have you" Roo said as she wrapped her hands around his body.

True. thought Shamrock, Even though, my parents taught me how to communicate, with writing, even they tend to ignore me sometimes. Then he eyed awkwardly towards where Mac was yelling at, and then brought his attention back to him, with a nod. He took another bite out of his burger, before writing: "I'll be happy to help." Then, when Shamrock saw Pavel enter the room, from the kitchen, he wrote on another page: "Hello, Sir. My name is Shamrock. What's yours?" He then tore the page out, and brought towards Pavel, with his magic.

Pitch giggled. "So, it's a good thing, I got you fired, and evicted." he said, "I'm glad you're cool with it." Pitch continued his massage, while kissing Roo, on the chest. "Let me know, when to do your back, again, okay?" he said, "Unless, you want yo go play in the waterfall, now. It's up to you."

Pavel saw the floating paper and at first paniced then he realized that it was the green pony that did it. Pavel though to himself," Even though i have been around ponies for five months. I as a human can not get used to there powers". Then he wrote on the paper My name is Pavel.

Mac chuckled, "Great, hopefully ye don't break a hole in me wall." He said cheerfully, wondering what Shamrock had written on the paper and handed to Pavel.

Roo giggled at his kiss and returned with one of her own as she ran her hands down his flanks. She swam away from him and pulled him along by his good hoof, "Come on then, let's go play under the waterfall handsome Stallion." She said with a giggle and kissed his hoof.

Shamrock chuckled, or rather made the motion of chuckling. He took the paper, back and read it. Funny he thought, Apparently, he thinks I'm deaf. So, he wrote on the same paper: "Pleasure to meet you, Pavel. However, I can hear you, you know. I just can't talk, since I was born a mute. Writing is how I 'talk'." The green alicorn gave the paper, back to Pavel.

Blink giggled and squirmed as Grace scrubbed her mane. She snatched the bottle and teleported behind Grace and squirted most of the shampoo out on Grace's mane and tail. "Don't forget your mane and tail Gracey! You can't sit in the bath and not bath!" She said with a giggle. She scrubbed Grace's mane and hummed a cheerful tune before she teleported back in front of Grace and smiled at Grace who was now a mass of bubbles and fluff. "You look funny with bubbles!" She said and pulled some of the bubbles off before throwing them into the air. She giggled and splashed again as they floated back down. A few landed on her snout and she sneezed, splashing water everywhere. "Bubbles are funny! Bathing is funny! Thank you Grace, what are we going to have to eat? I like salads, salads are nice. Shimmer is a good cook, she makes nice cupcakes too, do you want a cupcake?" She said and her body blinked and suddenly she was holding a cupcake out to Grace, "Here's a cupcake, cause you're pretty and nice and stuff."

Grace chuckled and giggled as Blink began to scrub her mane, humming along with Blink's cheerful tune, feeling dutifully happier when she smiled at her. Upon the comment, she chortled and closed her eyes with a warm smile on her face as the bubbles got blown off and opened her eyes to the falling bubbles and Blink splashing about and she giggled loudly as she saw Blink sneezing. Her ears continued to try and fathom Blink's speech patterns, her brain hoping she could one day manage to interject between her sentences, as she blinked confusingly at the cupcake. She blushed at the compliment and took the cupcake, taking a couple of bites with her dryer hoof before placing it on a dry part of the basin. "It tastes wonderful, Blink." She grinned. "And knowing my mother, I think we're going to have salads... though I personally like potatoes more... or maybe curry puffs, but my mother always says that they don't have any nutrition or something like 'hat..." She pouted exaggeratedly and chuckled as she looked down to Blink. "What kinds of vegetables from a salad do you like exactly, Blinkey?" She gave a bubbly giggle, almost as they her heart was going to explode from either Blink's energy or from the cupcake, the taste of which lasting quite well in her tongue as she spoke.

Pavel looked at Shamrock at said," I am sorry that i thought that you where deaf. I thought you trying to communicate with me with paper meant you could not hear". Then he took a other drink of the whisky.Then pavel said to shamrock," Where are you from"?

Grace chuckled and giggled as Blink began to scrub her mane, humming along with Blink's cheerful tune, feeling dutifully happier when she smiled at her.

She gave a bubbly giggle, almost as they her heart was going to explode from either Blink's energy or from the cupcake, the taste of which lasting quite well in her tongue as she spoke.

Blink looked at her with a happy smile, "I like all food Grace. I used to get weird food before Shimmer started cooking for me. It didn't taste good but Shimmer said that the weird food had the noo-chee-ints I needed. She said she didn't see why they couldn't make it taste nicer, I never found out who they were, I think they might have been the doctors." She said excitedly and smiled, "What's a curry puff? Does it taste good? Is it nice? I think it sounds nice. Your mom seems nice, like you, but you're nicer. Mac, Concerto, Shimmer and you are my favourite ponies. I can't wait to learn music with Concerto. Do you think he can teach me to sing? I wanna sing, I wanna sing!" She said excitedly and splashed more water over Grace as she tried to splash some of the bubbles away. She giggled and continued her rambling, "How long do ponies bath for? We've been bathing for a long time. I like it, how long can we stay in the bath for? Water's fun, it makes my coat feel clean!" She said with a giggle and smiled up at Grace.

Shamrock chuckled, or rather made the motion of chuckling. He took the paper, back and read it. Funny he thought, Apparently, he thinks I'm deaf. So, he wrote on the same paper: "Pleasure to meet you, Pavel. However, I can hear you, you know. I just can't talk, since I was born a mute. Writing is how I 'talk'."

Pavel looked at Shamrock and said," I am sorry that i thought that you where deaf. I thought you trying to communicate with me with paper meant you could not hear". Then he took a other drink of the whisky.Then pavel said to shamrock," Where are you from"?

Shamrock made another chuckling motion. I think I know how I could help he thought, before writing: "It's okay, Pavel. Actually, you're not the first to think that. Anyway, I'm from the Upper-class district. I think that I might be able to help your rebellion against the city, by funding it. My family is very, very rich, and I have a very big allowance." Shamrock showed the paper, to both Pavel, and Mac.

Roo giggled at his kiss and returned with one of her own as she ran her hands down his flanks. She swam away from him and pulled him along by his good hoof, "Come on then, let's go play under the waterfall handsome Stallion." She said with a giggle and kissed his hoof.

Pitch giggled in return, and followed her. "We're almost there." he said, "You can here the waterfall from here." As the vixen, and stallion swam down the river, the sound of the waterfall, got louder, and louder. When they arrived, Pitch limply pointed his bad hoof at the huge waterfall. "There it is." he said, "Isn't it big? That's a lot of water!"

[Fascist Russian Empire]

Shudder nodded and removed his hoof, giving Concerto some space while he inspected his body. "Well, in that case I think we'll start with some stamina training, situps, push ups, jumping jacks, yes believe it or not they actually help, then a bit of running just to get your hoof muscles going. I don't think we'll do much weight training just yet, in any case, you don't really need it but it does help a bit so we can do some." Shudder said with a warm smile as Shiv nodded in agreement. Shudder looked ahead and then back at Concerto, "It will be tough and you might hate me a little but trust me it's not that bad when you're finished." He said with a smile, "And you'll also have some muscles to add to that amazing figure of yours." He said with a smile and Shiv responded with another nod.

Concerto

Concerto couldn't help but blush a little at Shudder's compliment, and nodded in acceptance of his plan. "That's all fine by me. And, again, thank you for you're help, gentlecolts, it's much appreciated." He said, cheerfully, as he walked. Well, this shouldn't be too hard, right? Situps, push ups, and jumping jacks? The great Concerto can do that with ease! I wonder why they say that it'll be tough, or that I might hate them? Sure, a lesser stallion than I might crack under pressure, but not this stallion. Concerto assured himself, confident in his ability.

Pitch giggled in return, and followed her. "We're almost there." he said, "You can here the waterfall from here." As the vixen, and stallion swam down the river, the sound of the waterfall, got louder, and louder. When they arrived, Pitch limply pointed his bad hoof at the huge waterfall. "There it is." he said, "Isn't it big? That's a lot of water!"

Mac smiled, "Well thank ye Sham, we appreciate that greatly. I think that mechanical friend of Sunbreaker's offered us his house as a headquarters so we'll have a pretty good operation going." He said and finished off his veggie burger. He stood up and stretched a little, "Now if ye two'll excuse me, if just come back from bein' tortured and happen ta be dyin' fer a little sleep. Help yerself ta the food, I guarantee I've stolen somethin' of everythin'." He said with a chuckle and limped of to his bedroom.

Roo looked up at the waterfall, "It's beautiful Pitch! And listen to that roar." She said as she felt the noise echoing in her gut. She pulled Pitch up next to it and stood up under the cascade, feeling the powerful falls crash against her body. She giggled with her barely opened eyes and pulled Pitch close to her under the falls before closing her eyes and locking her lips with his as she embraced him close to her bare body.
