Well, the text is done, but still needs to be proofread. Didn't make it quite in time for Spooky Day, but it should be out over the weekend.

Except for the married ones.

There is one married mare you're allowed to kiss. It's the one you married!

Every day. At the morning and evening. And also in between.

180.3

>True to her word, #deca.mare leads your group to your next destination.
>The second house on today's list.
>And from a visual perspective, it is just as ordinary as the home of the Unicorns.
>However, you think you remember who is living here.
>Because unless you are gravely mistaken, it is the "new" abode of Summer Shine's family.
>Probably the most "famous" place in the entire village.
>Of course, fame is a very relative thing in such a small community, and the home has, technically speaking, the exact same standing as every other house in Summer Shine.
>But considering that it is inhabited by the family of the founders, it is viewed with a certain degree of respect nevertheless.
>You laugh quietly and speak up as you approach the house.
"Right to the big shots, eh?"
>#deca.mare shrugs casually.
>"I thought it would be a reasonable place to go to."
>She lowers her voice almost to a whisper.
>"And the current circumstances made it easy for me to make my arrangements."
>She smiles and turns to Sky Squall.
>"Like the cloud that you saw."
>The Pegasus stallion grunts with a faint grin of his own.
>"You can't tell me you don't enjoy the plotting behind the scenes."
>#deca.mare snickers.
>"What you call 'plotting', I call 'making things work'. Is something wrong with that?"
>Sky Squall inhales.
>"No, nothing."
>His grin widens.
>"But you didn't deny it."
>#deca.mare blinks innocently.
>"I enjoy making things easier for my friends. There is nothing to deny."
>Well, she is helping her friends and herself in this case.
>But she has a point.
>#deca.mare's interventions are minimal and harmless, yet they can help you to establish yourselves within the village.
>Which in turn will become a boon for the community as a whole.
>Everybody wins.
>You finally reach the door and come to a stop.
>Then you wait for a second or two before you knock.
>And you do not check for any signs of activity this time, as #deca.mare has led you here on purpose.
>So someone has to be at home.
>And indeed, a pony on the other side hears you.
>But you cannot predict who you are going to meet now, as you are unable to discern an identity by simply hearing some muffled steps.
>Especially so when the largest family of the village is involved.
>As the door opens, however, you immediately recognise the pony in question.
>A young maroon Earth pony stallion, somewhere in his middle to late twenties, greets you.
>He is the oldest son of Summer Shine's second child.
>Fall Seed, as you recall just in time.
"Hello, Fall."
>The stallion's emerald eyes remain focused on you.
>"Good morning..."
>But then he notices the rest of your group.
>"... you four."

>>42756215
>You decide to tell him right away why you are here.
"Sorry for showing up so suddenly, but we're looking for things for our house restoration. Do you have a moment?"
>Fall Seed listens to you and responds swiftly.
>"Sure. You've come to the right place."
>He motions you to enter.
>So you do.
>And the rest of your group follows.
>You take a look around.
>The interior of this house is more in line with the furniture of the Grape and Grain home.
>You spot tables, various seat cushions, a closet, and a shelf.
>But no stacks of scrolls or work benches.
>It is a sight which one would expect from an ordinary living room.
>Fall Seed speaks up again.
"I can't say I'm surprised that you're here. We figured you'd come sooner or later, given what you plan to do."
>He pauses and smiles.
>"And I have a gift for you. A small one, but it's a start."
>You blink in surprise.
"Oh, you have? What is it?"
>The Earth pony stallion inhales.
>"A step on the way."
>What?
>You reckon that your expression has to match your inner thoughts as Fall Seed elaborates without any further comment.
>"We... I mean my family and me... we've discussed your situation with the other families."
>You blink as you hear that.
>For you have not noticed anything of that sort until now.
>When did they do that?
>And judging from the mutually shared look of surprise on the faces of your two Pegasus companions, they have no idea either.
>On the other hand, #deca.mare is baring her best poker face.
>Well, you knew she had this place in mind for a reason.
>But it is as Fall Seed said.
>It is a step, and probably in the right direction too.
>The Earth pony goes on.
>"We know what the house looks like, and no one knows better than us that it will be a piece of work to make the rooms habitable again before the winter covers the fields."
>A short pause.
>"And we want to help you."
>You struggle to suppress a light grin.
>Damn.
>You are not sure whether Fall Seed has noticed your reaction or not, so you decide to respond before any misunderstandings might occur.
"Fall, you take the words out of my mouth. That's exactly why we're here. You nailed it in one go. We... could need some assistance. Material assistance in particular."
>He smiles.
>"That can be arranged. Probably not all at once, but we'll work on it."
>This is going remarkably easy.
>Almost too easy.
>You doubt that Fall Seed or the others have any bad intentions, yet he seems to be overly forthcoming.
>The smile of the Earth pony widens.
>"You wonder why we're doing this."
>You blink, unsure how to respond.
"Say what?"
>He chuckles.
>"You heard me."
>Well, this is starting to get strange.
>Fall Seed and you eye each other, and it quickly becomes clear to you that he expects an actual answer.
>He knows what are you are thinking.
>Somehow.
>So you give him what he wants.
"Actually, yes. A bit."

>>42756220
>You clear your throat.
"I don't know how to put this, but this... is going... faster than I expected."
>You hope that you have worded it somewhat decently.
>Or at least that Fall Seed understands what you mean.
>The maroon stallion chuckles again, yet you cannot determine whether this is a good or a bad thing.
>He raises his voice.
>"You think we're strangely generous?"
>What is he?
>Some kind of mind reader?
>You hesitate.
"I wouldn't put it like that, but... kind of? It's at least how it feels."
>Fall Seed keeps smiling, and it is starting to concern you.
>"But it shouldn't."
>Great, that response does not really help you.
>"It's not a secret that we want this village, this community, to thrive. And, well, you offer a good opportunity to further our goal."
>This is definitely honest, yet the wording sounds very cold, to say the least.
>But his tone is about to change.
>"To be entirely honest with you, some of us were looking for a Pegasus to settle in Summer Shine for a while now."
>You chime in.
"Some of 'you' as in 'some of your family', or 'you' as in 'some of your village'?"
>This actually gets a chuckle out of him.
>"Frankly speaking, both."
>With little evident success, however.
>Nevertheless, he is remarkably transparent about the whole situation.
>After all, he could have kept this piece of intel to himself, as it only strengthens your potential base for negotiations.
>From a purely tactical perspective, at least.
>Fall Seed takes a breath and admits as much too.
>"But it looks like our efforts were redundant. You came on your own."
>And three rather than one on top of that.
>It is not hard to see why your arrival is such a golden chance in their eyes.
>He goes on.
>"Bubbly and Fine have already proven that it can work too. They have become an invaluable addition to our village. We're sure you'll be one as well."
>An invaluable addition?
>You tilt your head.
"Fall, I think I'm speaking for all of us by saying that we appreciate the sentiment. You... make it sound like we're an investment though."
>The Earth pony blinks.
>"That's one way to say it. But it's a very... utilitarian interpretation of the circumstances."
>Technically not a wrong one though.
>The maroon stallion smiles again.
>"Or... how about we interpret it as you becoming a part of this community? Then your best interests become our best interests."
>You inhale.
"And vice versa."
>The Earth pony nods.
>"And vice versa. Everypony gets something, everypony wins."
>Now you have to laugh.
>However, you quickly realise that the timing could hardly be worse.
>One could easily perceive your laughter as mockery in this situation.
>So you decide to spill the beans too, as you do not want Fall Seed to misinterpret your amusement.
>Plus, it will show him that you do not seek to exploit his previous admission.
"Do you want to hear something funny, Fall? That... was our idea as well. Only the other way round."

>>42756224
>You inhale.
"When we heard about this village, we had the same plan. We thought that we could use our abilities to convince you of our talents. And to strike a deal that's good for both parties."
>You watch the stallion and try to read the emotions behind his reaction, as a part of you would have preferred to omit this fact.
>Simply because you are worried that it might be perceived as an insult of some kind.
>As unlikely as such a reaction might be.
>But much to your relief, your worries appear to be wholly unfounded.
>Fall Seed takes a breath and smiles.
>He is not insulted at all.
>If anything, your open statement seems to have the opposite effect.
>"Well, you're honest. Honest and thinking ahead. Two good traits in my book."
>The desired outcome indeed.
>A pause.
>"If you ask me, we will be much better off when we combine our strengths, don't you think?"
>You inhale.
"And, as you said, this 'combination' includes your assurance to support our restoration project..."
>Fall Seed nods.
>"It does. Regarding both material and physical work. Within reasonable limits, of course."
>Of course.
>You do not expect them to do all the work for you.
>The larger part of the project will still be yours to tackle.
"... then I'd say we have a deal."
>Fall Seed turns to the rest of your group.
>And only now do you realise that you have done all of the talking without their intervention or participation.
>"Do you agree?"
>#deca.mare is the first to respond.
>"I have no objections."
>Then Firefly.
>"Me neither."
>And finally, Sky Squall.
>"Count me in."
>Fall Seed raises a forehoof for a hoof bump.
"Then we have an official arrangement. And I hope the beginning of a new friendship as well."
>You bump his limb with your own and nod.
"Don't worry, Fall. We won't disappoint you. Or your village."
>Fall Seed tilts his head, looking at you with an inquisitive expression.
>And a faint smirk.
>You understand what he is trying to tell you.
"Sorry. I mean... our village."
>The smirk of the Earth pony turns into a cordial chuckle.
>"That's the spirit. I'll let the others know as well. Welcome home."
>Fall Seed approaches your three friends to greet each of them with a hoof bump in turn.
>Then he takes a seat on one of the cushions and offers you to do the same.
>Which you do.
>And once everyone is sitting, the Earth pony stallion speaks up.
>"Now, let's get to the details. I assume you haven't come here without a clear picture of what needs to get done, right?"
>This time, you let someone talk instead.
>Like Firefly.
>"Pretty much. Fixing the roof and replacing some floor planks are our high priority concerns, but there are a couple of other things we need to work on soon."
>Fall Seed listens attentively before he replies.
>"As expected. The house has aged visibly during the years of its vacancy."

>>42756229
>A long breath follows.
>"I suggest we make a list and I'll ask around to see what we can do. And when. A lot depends on what materials we can muster right now."
>Sounds reasonable enough.
>The maroon Earth pony goes on.
>"So, from the most pressing issues to the least important ones, what has to be done? Give me all the details."
>Sky Squall tilts his head.
>"Don't you need a scroll or something to write it down?"
>Fall Seed shakes his head.
>"No, I'll keep it in mind."
>You find this hard to believe, but the stallion is apparently completely serious.
>Still, you mentally contact #deca.mare.
>Can he really?
>The answer comes right away.
>Yes, Anon.
>Fall Seed can.
>You notice that you are not the only one who is looking for her counsel though.
>Firefly subtly turns to #deca.mare, whilst Sky Squall merely glances in her direction for the fraction of a second.
>Since Fall Seed is talking to him right now, he cannot act as openly as Firefly.
>Even though you already have your answer, you follow Sky Squall's example to see #deca.mare's reaction.
>And #deca.mare gives the three of you the faintest of nods.
>A movement so minor and slow that anyone else would perceive it as nothing more than a twitch.
>If it gets noticed at all.
>To you and the others, however, it is a confirmation, as clear as day.
>Sky Squall accepts her gesture for what it is and goes on as if nothing happened.
>"I see. In that case, I think I'll start."
>The Pegasus stallion takes a breath.
>"First things first, the hole in the roof must be sealed, and we have to replace a part of the floor on the upper level that was exposed to rain. Since we can't do that in an afternoon, we need something else to cover the hole to prevent more water from coming in. Then, there's the lack of furniture, and..."
>Sky Squall's torrent of pending tasks gets suddenly interrupted by a knock on the door.
>Fall Seed speaks up.
>"Hm, who could that be?"
>None of your group, that much is certain.
>The maroon stallion approaches the door and opens it.
>The visitor turns out to be another Earth pony stallion.
>As you rummage through your brain you remember that he and his wife are tending to some of the outer fields.
>Fall Seed greets him politely.
"Good morning!"
>The new visitor greets him with a hoof bump.
>"Morning, Fall. Say, do you know where our new..."
>The stallion falls silent as he sees the four of you.
>"... never mind. There you are."
>Alright.
>He is apparently looking for you.
>Yet you have no clue what he wants.
>"Are you available right now?"
>The pony is pointing at Firefly, Sky Squall and you in turn.
>And the three of you briefly exchange glances before Sky Squall gives him an answer.
>"Depends. We're in the middle of a discussion. Is it urgent?"

>>42756234
>The Earth pony shrugs.
>"Not yet, but I don't want it to become urgent later. There's a fat cloud sneaking up on our fields, and I don't like the way it's looking at our crops. We really could use those flappers of yours."
>Sky Squall hesitates.
>Because on the one hand, his urge to demonstrate his skills is virtually tangent.
>But he is no fool.
>And he would never drop such an important discussion for such a trivial reason.
>You think he is probably going to ask the pony to wait until you are done with your discussion.
>However, #deca.mare intervenes just as Sky Squall wants to speak up.
>She taps the back of the Pegasus with a forehoof and calmly raises her voice.
>"Go, all three of you. Let me take care of the rest here."
>Sky Squall replies without thinking.
>"Are you sure about that?"
>You can see in his eyes that he quickly starts to grasp that his question was rather redundant.
>Well, but it must have been a convincing interjection in the eyes of Fall Seed at least, given that he has no idea about #deca.mare's actual capabilities.
>A useful side effect if nothing else.
>And #deca.mare decides to capitalise on the situation by playing along.
>"I will be fine."
>She smiles.
>"Help our new neighbours. Show them what you can do."
>The hint cannot become much broader than this.
>So much so that Firefly agrees on behalf of the whole team.
>"Fine, let's go."
>The Pegasus mare turns to Fall Seed and winks at him.
>"Our wings are your wings now, isn't that right?"
>The maroon Earth pony nods.
>"I see you can integrate quickly."
>Firefly shrugs and grins.
>"To an extent. Don't expect me to donate my feathers to fill anyone's pillows though."
>This gets a hearty laughter out of the maroon Earth pony.
>"Don't worry, your feathers are where they belong."
>And where they can help the village the most, as you silently think to yourself.
>You stand up.
"Alright. We'll be on our way then. And thank you again for your help, Fall."
>He nods.
>"Any time."
>One thing left to do.
>You look at #deca.mare and give her a swift kiss.
"See you later."
>"Until then. And good flying."
>Oh, it will be good for sure.
>Especially for a certain Pegasus stallion who is almost brimming with anticipation.
>To quite an unusual degree again.
>What is up with Sky Squall today?
>Did someone pour some stimulants into his breakfast bowl when nobody was looking?
>Either way though, the three of you leave the house together with the farmer.
>You decide to speak up as you close the door.
"So, anything you want to do with the cloud in particular?"
>The Earth pony shakes his head.
>"No, we have plenty of water. I just want it to go away. As soon as possible."
>An easy job.
>Trivial, even.
>Nevertheless, a certain someone welcomes the offer with enthusiasm.
>Sky Squall laughs.
>"Consider it done."

>>42756237
>He inhales deeply and spreads his wings.
>Slowly, methodically, and with a strangely meticulous precision that would make an eagle envious.
>Then, a few seconds later, his wings start to shiver lightly.
>You have never seen him doing anything like this before, yet Firefly smirks openly at the display.
>The mare turns to you.
>"Have you ever seen how a dragonfly takes to the skies?"
>You raise an eyebrow.
"I don't think so. Why?"
>Firefly keeps grinning.
>"It's kind of like that."
>Less than a second later, Sky Squall bends his wings, takes a small leap, and funnels as much power as he can muster into one firm beat.
>All in one fluid motion.
>The stallion takes off as a sharp gust of wind spreads in every direction, pelting everything in the vicinity with dust and little pebbles.
>Including Firefly and you.
>Firefly goes on whilst Sky Squall is gaining altitude at a rapid pace.
>"But stronger."
>She is not fazed by this stunt at all.
>The Earth pony, however, has not expected this sudden outburst.
>He gasps in surprise, despite not being within the dust zone of Sky Squall's spontaneous takeoff.
>"What in Puddinghead's messy mane was that?"
>A dragonfly on steroids, according to a certain mare.
>You are not quite as stunned as the Earth pony, but you still stumble out of the dust cloud before you look up.
>And you immediately spot Sky Squall flying merry corkscrew lines in the air.
>So much for restraint.
>After a short while, he ditches the spiral pattern for a steep looping, passing closely over your heads.
>"Come on, slowpokes! We have a cloud to drive off! Last one to arrive is a lame duck!"
>And with that said, or rather shouted out, he flies off.
>Firefly and you prepare to start as well.
>You eye the farmer one more time before you follow Sky Squall.
"The cloud definitely won't bother you for much longer."
>And the Earth pony nods slowly.
>"I think you're right."
>Then the two of you lift off as well and follow Sky Squall.
>Who has already gained a considerable head start.
>You grumble loudly.
"Damn it, Sky! We've agreed to keep a low profile, and you pump it up on our first assignment!"
>Of course, he does not hear you.
>But Firefly does.
>And she practically speaks for him.
>"Anon, I know it's not according to our plan, but let him have his fun."
>It is not the request itself that surprises you, but the soft tone in which Firefly utters it.
>This is important to her.
>Well, since she is already mentioning it, you decide to spin this topic further.
"What's going on with him anyway? He has been jittery since you've carried the crate."
>Firefly takes a breath.
>"It's the sky, Anon. He's returning to his element."
>She laughs lightly.
>"I'm surprised you didn't catch that. You should know. It was you who made us like this. And who gave him his name."
>Technically, #deca.mare did most of the work, but fair enough.

>>42756242
>You see her point.
>Sky Squall, and Firefly by extension, are returning to their natural habitat.
>This has its effect on both of them.
>It just happens to affect him far more than her, considering that Sky Squall also thrives on being a shining example through his deeds.
>Firefly is right.
>This life gives him everything he could ever ask for, and Sky Squall is slowly starting to comprehend that his second personal golden age has begun.
>You understand why he is excited.
>In fact, you have expected him to savour this experience.
>However, the scope of his reaction is much wider than you have predicted, as you did not envision him to go full steam ahead right away.
>You sigh.
"So... that's it. I wasn't aware that he missed the life here that much. Like, I know the work on the ship isn't as natural to both of you as Equestria, but I had no idea. I thought the simulation and our regular trips to the surface helped to mitigate this feeling."
>Firefly's answer comes right away.
>"Oh, they did. And it's not like we have a bad time with you up there or anything like that."
>The mare closes her eyes and does a full rotation without altering her course.
>"But nothing can fully close the gap, you know? This..."
>She points at the scenery all around you.
>"... will always be the best place for a Pegasus."
>She giggles.
>"And between the two of us, I'm glad to see him flourishing. Sky is the best when he reaches his top form."
>You smirk at the mare.
"Of course you'd say that. I believe you're biased in your judgement."
>Firefly's giggling continues.
>Then she starts to mutter.
>"In more ways than you realise."
>You could perfectly understand every word of what she said, and you are fairly sure that her remark contained certain undertones.
>Yet you pretend to have missed her comment.
"What? I didn't catch that."
>The mare keeps grinning.
>"Nothing."
>An answer which pretty much confirms your theory.
>But you change the topic as you do not have the wish to delve further into their private spheres.
>Besides, the stallion in question keeps you busy for other reasons right now.
"Fine. I don't want to be a spoilsport. But if Sky is pushing things too far, we must rein him in."
>Firefly nods reluctantly.
>"Sure. But..."
>The mare chuckles again.
>"... not yet."
>You are inclined to disagree, as you witness how the sizable cloud in front of you suddenly loses visible chunks of its mass.
>Granted, there is nothing reckless or inherently dangerous in what Sky Squall is doing over there, but the eagerness behind is actions is rather undue for his age.
>And the way how Firefly is talking about the display is oddly gushing too.
>"Just look at him. You can't stop a sight like this, now can you?"
>Hold on, is Firefly actually admiring the display of Sky Squall disassembling a cloud?

>>42756245
>Very unusual.
>After all, this should be a common scene for her after so many years.
>And moreover, has she forgotten who she is talking to, considering her last question?
>Because even if one were to ignore the marital status of anyone who is involved, Firefly knows that your tastes do not align with hers.
>Perhaps your previous assessment was wrong.
>The effects have hit Firefly just as hard too.
>They merely manifest themselves differently.
>So you decide to chalk this one up as a rhetorical question and go on.
>You take a breath.
"We better hurry in any case. Or the maestro plays his part without us."
>The Pegasus mare nods.
>"Right. Let's get a move on. You know what Sky said, the last one at the cloud is a duck."
>With that said, Firefly speeds up, turning the flight into an impromptu race.
"What the..."
>You accelerate as well and contact #deca.mare as you try to catch up with the Pegasus mare.
>Man, #deca.
>It struck them really badly.
>You hear #deca.mare's response in your mind.
>Neither Firefly nor Sky Squall can listen in.
>No need to worry, Anon.
>They are fine.
>Oh yeah?
>You call it fine when one acts like a young hotshot and the other like a swooning admirer?
>You hear #deca.mare giggling.
>Yes.
>She elaborates.
>Sky Squall and Firefly are starting to fully relive their younger years, Anon.
>Is it really such a surprise that some of their earlier traits are coming back to the surface?
>You blink as you watch how Firefly bolts through the air in front of you.
>I suppose not, to a degree.

>A parenting decision, #deca.

And done. It would be helpful to get some feedback on this part, as it went through a few revisions during the writing process. But general feedback is appreciated as well of course.

>>42756254
I can't really see anything wildly out of place, any issues I might have with the pacing are more personal quibbles than flaws with the story.
as much as I know they can't plunk a human into Equestria yet, I really don't want Anon ending up spending more time as a horse than a person.

Beware, some fags do a lot of heavy sliding again.

Fuck off.

Yeah, I'm fully aware of that issue. And I have some plans to work around this restriction here and there in a manner that works within the setting of the story.

ha ha time for Everfree Cryptids

so what do you guys make besides greentexts?

>>42758024
once upon a time there used to be drawfags too. There could be again if people picked up a pen, and there could be more stories as well.

>>42758024
Historically it's more green than drawings but we had those here and there (mostly related to greentexts).

>>42758186
The thread could do well with more of either.
It would be nice to have more than one story around here.

Hottest mare coming through.

>>42757739
Thanks, Anon. I still aim to see this one through, no matter how long it might take to get there.
>>42758001
That's one way of doing it. But I don't want to comment too much on that yet. Spoilers and all that.

>>42759190
Different kind of hot. But both are fine.

>>42758001
Read that as cryptorchid.
Don't ask me how that's supposed to work though.

>>42757686
Again.

*cough*

>>42757976
Happy ball of joy. That's the best state for a mare.

>>42761276
second-best state
best state is happy ball of joy with more happy bundles of joy

>>42761999
Can't argue against those numbers.
