private Hearts and Hooves Day House Party RP

[Windy Scamper 403]

"No! Gosh no. If anything, Windy's been trying to get in my way, between booby trapping my snack table and making you run from my party. Listen, I just....he also stole every conversation I tried to have with you,.and I needed to be alone with you for just 5 minutes, which is why I brought you here. If you need to go to sleep now, I understand. I probably look like the biggest jerk in the history of all jerks. I just....I just wanted you to know...."

 

A song popped in his head. He had always been an average singer, since trombone had made him hum notes to figure out melodies. He sang lightly under his breath;

 

"I want you to know

with everything I won't let you go

These words are my heart and soul

I'll hold on to this moment you know

Cause I'll bleed my heart out to show

That I won't let go."

Flame Felt Rockshire tap on his shoulder and he looked up to find Rockshire only inches away.
He stared into his eyes before he gave in...he wrapped his hooves around her and kissed her, closing his eyes as he did so. His wing's opened up and cradled Rockshire as he gently stroked her mane with his hoof.

Shooting Star lie down on the clean, plush bed and tucked in her legs in a fetal position. Then she got back up. The hay I can sleep, after THAT. Especially here, in...his house.

 

But what do actually do? Shooting Star had prepared for what happened if nopony showed an interest in her at first, but she hadn't even considered this. What was mare supposed to do at a time like this? Maybe talking to Bon-Bon would be a good idea--oh, right, Bon-Bon was busy.

 

Some part of her, a very vocal part somewhere, wanted to make a decision. Told her she had to. Was supposed to; it was responsible or something. But she didn't want to hurt anypony!

Could she have two special someponies? She didn't think so. At least, she was pretty sure that was a rule, or something like that. The same part of her was telling her that was very wrong.

 

What if Slide was right? Had he really never gotten a chance to show Star how he felt? She tried to think back; she had been a little distracted at the time...okay, most of not all of the time. And there were all those things he said about Windy Runner. They looked a little suspect at the moment, given his motives, but she JUST. Didn't. Know.

Did she have the right to break somepony's heart without even listening to them? The song cried like a newborn babe and a dying star at her, bawling at her coldness. And she noticed, for the first time, that Slide did have a very nice mane...a positively wonderful color, actually.

 

She demanded her senses ignored that. She bit and screamed and whipped her mind to obey her, but it did as it pleased.

 

"Okay, okay," Shoots gasped. Real eloquent there. No wonder all the stallions are after you. "Thanks, but I think I'll pass for now." She moved towards the exit, slipping around the colt. "And, um--okay look. We can--" Think fast, think fast, "Go on a walk. If you want. Just a walk! And....you can play some trombone music too if you want."

 

She had to be the one to say what happened. Shooting Star needed to maintain some kind of control over this situation. Celestia help her if this wound up like the last time a colt started looking at her like this. Several hours ago.

Windy was still in the hospital anyway, right? It's not like he was going anywhere soon. She had time to figure out what to do here. Didn't she?

"But no sudden movements!" she warned. "Or...buck me, I sound like an idiot, don't I? Nevermind, just follow me. If you want."

[Descant 1,898]

"You okay ? You seem a little distracted." She said, giving Cascade a slightly worried look.

 

 

"Yeah... Yeah... It's just... I don't really like to talk about... You know..." She hoofed at the ground awkwardly, and looked out the door to the area beside the pool. She saw the same orange-haired mare and the fiery pegasus stallion out there as well (I think). The colt retained her eyes for a moment before she said wistfully, "Wish I could go swimming tonight."

Ocean nodded. "I know how you feel...it would be kinda nice." She said, glancing out the window.

She knew that there was a house full of ponies that could see her...but still, right now she just wanted to flow around in the water without a care in the world...but that hadn't happened in years...even at her cottage she was worried somepony was watching her.
Cascade may know more about her curse than most...but she still didn't know the whole story, and she was worried about what the mare may think.

[Descant 1,898]

@,

 

Cascade gave a smile that might have been a faint grimace. Ever since she had taken that trip to the Carribayen Sea not even a week previous... Cascade's world had been turned upside down. Anyhoo...

 

"We could at least go and sit out there with the other ponies," Cascade suggested casually, still looking at the fiery pegasus who was still out there, as if she didn't realize it.

((Hold on...Cascade better not have a thang for Flame))

 

 

Ocean nodded. "If we could...uh...stay away from the water...because of the other ponies." She said, hesitantly stepping through the doorway onto the path leading to the pool.
She magically pulled up a lawn chair from a table by the house. She sat down just a few feet away from the pool and used her magic to bring another over from the house.

((Am I making it obvious enough?))

 

Cascade nodded, and smiled, drawing up a chair beside Ocean, albeit with her own two hooves. She sat, and gazed shamelessly at the fiery colt, despite the fact that he was obviously tied to the orange-haired mare. Not that she was sure of that fact, but it seemed to matter little.

Ocean followed Cascade's gaze to a rather handsome colt kissing a rather pretty mare. "Cascade...you still here ?" She asked, in a joking tone. "Seriously though...they're both pretty cute ponies." She said, tilting her head to the side as she looked at the colt...then the mare...then back to the colt...then Cascade. Her eyes lingered on Cascade before she quickly looked up at the clouds.

((Not. Enough. Colts.))

((Honestly, I missed the post that said Flame kissed Rockshire. Geez. Oops.))

 

Cascade wrenched herself out of her daze, and blinked. "Oh. Yeah. I'm here," she said, dreamily, swiveling around to look at Ocean. "Sorry, I don't really..." Her voice trailed away, as she seemed rather lost in thought.

 

((I could drag North into this.))

Cascade, evidently completely oblivious to the way the mare kept trying to gaze at her, did deign to respond to her question.

 

"I dunno. I just..." She paused for a short moment, then said, "I can't help but laugh at myself a little bit for coming here. I don't really know what I expected. That?" She gestured at the entwined couple across the poll, almost dejectedly. "Not likely, really, I think. Nopony's going to... I mean... I'm not even..."

 

She cut herself off, surprised at herself. No. She mustn't tell anypony. She had come so close, but she mustn't say. She simply mustn't.

OK, so, I'm going to try to make it. Just nudge him, make him turn his head and then BAM! The kiss ha--

 

That plan went to waste. Rockshire was caught off guard by Flame making the first move, making her cast another blush across her face. It had been a good while since she had kissed anypony.... She tried her best to remember on how to advance...

Flame wanted to keep kissing her...he really did...until he noticed two mares sitting a little ways away from the pool

His eyes widened slightly and he broke the kiss. He looked over at the mares, then at Rockshire. "I uh...I cant kiss with an audience." He said, chuckling. "Wanna go inside and get dried off...maybe Slide has a movie to watch or something." He said, nuzzling her neck.

[Windy Scamper 403]

"Well, I don't think we should leave the house again. But we can walk around out back in the patio, if you want. Whatever you want to do, that's fine."

 

Heuickly paused, then added, "You know, I really don't know much about you. Do you mind if you tell me a bit about yourself? You do have a quite uniqe cutie mark, unlike my generic trombone."

How perfect... We can be alone.

 

Correction: I can be alone with him. 

 

If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't be in this situation! 

 

Hush.

 

"S-sure, Flame. I would love that.", she softly spoke, out of earshot from the mares, and led them both out of the pool.

@@Windy Scamper, 

 

Shooting Star clopped out onto the back patio, strolling with Slide Grease through the party. Most of the guests were still present, and the event was still in full swing, if not at full volume. The DJ in the corner kept a steady current of slow, soft tunes buffering the atmosphere.

 

She passed the pool, in which there were a pair of ponies doing something that looked embarrassing and lots of fun. Shoots made a point to change course. Slide actually had a pretty big yard; that wasn't uncustomary, as out here in Ponyville, land wasn't at a premium unless it had a perfect soup of minerals for growing things.

 

"Nopony's cutie mark is generic, don't say that," said Shoots, taking up the offer of conversation. "And I wish I could tell you what mine was for. I...don't remember much about myself, actually. I showed up in Ponyville a months ago, and I help paint murals and houses, and..." She snorted, waving a hoof. "Go to parties, get in other ponies' way....*sigh*...cause trouble without meaning to. That sort of thing. I'm really not fascinating, to be honest."

 

"I do a lot of wondering, though. One of these days I'm just going to get fed up and figure out where I came from...I think." 

Blinking--how long had she just paused?---she brought her eyes down from Luna's dome above. "Your turn. Think that's how this is supposed to work. What are you like?"

[Descant 1,898]

 

 

Ocean nodded. "Me too." She said, smiling then looking up at the sky again. "I feel like I can really trust you...and you know how sometimes there are things you just need to get out ? Like...a secret that just keep's eating away at you until you tell somepony ?"  

 

 

"Yeah... Yeah, I really do," Cascade said quietly. She was sorta wondering where Ocean was going with this...

 

 

 

He was late. He was very, very late. 

 

The teal stallion flew far above. This pegasus' wingspan was rather larger than was average, and streaming from his silvery tail was both a light, powdery snow (that he fully expected to melt and evaporate before reaching the ground) and a brilliant red aurora, that faded to green as it was farther apart from him. It really was a magnificent sight. 

 

The stallion, as he flew above, recognized the house that he was supposed to be at, and turned into a dive, swooping out of it neatly right in front of the front doors as he landed, his eagle's wingspan catching him effortlessly. He could have just landed in the backyard, where he clearly saw the pool, DJ, and several ponies, but to do so would be rude,  so he trotted up to the front door and knocked.

 

His swooping dive caused the backyard to be showered by a brief flurry, despite the season.

 

 

 

Cascade held up a hoof, and caught one of the snowflakes, which melted upon contact. That, with the aurora above... "He's here," she murmured. "I thought he wasn't coming."

Flame nodded and followed Rockshire out of the pool. He shook himself off and ruffled his feather's, doing his best to get all the water off.
After a minute he was as dry as he could get without a towel. He walked over to Rockshire and put a wing around her before nuzzling her and walking back inside. "So how about that Movie ?"
 

[Windy Scamper 403]

He paused, thinking what else to tell her. "Well, you heard my story about getting my cutie mark and all. So, for the past few years, I've kinda...hidden myself away. Sure, I've made friends, but I'm so afraid of being hurt agsin, for awhile,.I thought emotion was weakness, not fear. I hid away any and all emotion, and only released it when playing trombone. I've finally began to ease back into...feelings."

 

Something Shokts said made Slide's ears perk up. "Don't ever say you have no purpose and only get in the way ever again. Even if you've forgotten, some ponies can help you remember. I wouldn't have believed that myself, but tonight, I' ve remembered how rewarding emotions are, and having bonds. There are certain ponies who help you remember long lost things....just like you' ve helped me." He said, suddenly realizing the happiness he found in her.

Shooting Star halted near the porch. "You really think so? That--thanks."

She sniffed at the crumbly remains of a pastry table--one of the many star-crossed furnishings--and pondered Slide Grease's sparse but always-so-sincere words. "Am I really that helpful? I don't really feel like I did anything. I kinda' just feel like I caused you a lot of stress tonight...same as the other ponies I talked to."

But she did want to believe it. She let herself try to laugh. "Here I thought you just abandoned your party to check on me because you were afraid of getting in trouble." She tried a smile, then levitated a paper streamer that had fallen on the ground around her, coiling it to weave absently into her mane. "Have I really done something good tonight?"
