private A vacation in Paris!

[Jack Spades 162]

Charcoal was woken up by Jack talking to her. She had heard what he said but it took her a few seconds to respond with how tired she was. "Right right. Well I actually do have a pretty good paying job, and I pretty much just work from home so I can have the job. Can I sleep now?"

Jack's ears flopped back "Yes. You can sleep. Thank you for our little talk." Jack sat next to the cot. He pictured in his mind Charcoal making furniture and teaching the filly how to fly and cook and make stuff. And Jack, just sitting around. Being a liability. What will I do around the house other that wander around and talk to my voice with a pack of cards?

Charcoals head flopped down and she fell asleep once again. She actually started dreaming this time around, it was a nice dream. She dreamed of her sitting at home with the foal in her arms and teaching Jack how he could cook a few things for when she was gone. She was also looking for someone who could teach the foal how to fly in a few years.

Jack shook his head to rid himself of those thoughts. He then looked over to Charcoal. She looked so calm and peaceful when she slept. Jack felt a little weird watching somepony sleep. But this was his marefriend, so it shouldn't be that bad. He then saw her wings. He remembered the many times she wrapped him up in them. He was curious about how agile they were. Jack carefully and silently tip-hoofed behind Charcoal. He saw the wings and slowly touched one to see if she would wake up.

Charcoal felt a jolt and she woke up with a start. She sat up quickly and looked to see who had touched her wing, it had been Jack. She sighed and turned around to face him. "Jack, what are you doing? Pegasus wings are extremely sensitive to touch." Charcoal explained.

Charcoal felt a jolt and she woke up with a start. She sat up quickly and looked to see who had touched her wing, it had been Jack. She sighed and turned around to face him. "Jack, what are you doing? Pegasus wings are extremely sensitive to touch." Charcoal explained.

Jack jumped back. His mind raced to think of an excuse. 'The truth?' No. 'You wanted to re-enact a part of a book named after a mini pastry?' No. 'You wanted to see where the fur changed to feathers?' Perfect. "I just wanted to see where the fur changed to f-feathers... That's all."

Charcoal had suspicions that Jack was lieing, but she decided to go along with it and see if he would fess up. If he was lieing than that would be an even worse punishment than if he were to get caught. "Alright. Well here." Charcoal turned to the side and extended one of her wings for Jack. "Just so you know I wouldn't do this for anypony other than someone I trusted completely."

"Just so you know I wouldn't do this for anypony other than someone I trusted completely."

Jack began to examine the wings. "Wait. So you wouldn't show your wings to anyone unless you trusted them? That's strange. It's like saying that I wouldn't show my back to anyone unless I trusted them." Jack began to gently feel Charcoal's wings with his hoof. "I don't see how these wings are so private. I mean. It's not my place to make those decisions. I don't even have a pair."

"It's a pegasi thing." Charcoal explained. She began to blush a little bit at the feeling of Jack feeling her wings. "And it isn't so much showing as it is letting them touch them. That isn't done very often for pegasi, and for a few different reasons." Charcoal could feel her wings begin to stiffen, hopefully Jack couldn't feel it.

Jack felt the wings. They felt so soft. Oh was he envious. He was so jealous for a pair. He could have flown away from Appleloosa. Or Joined Charcoal in the sky. Instead, he was just weighing her down. Keeping her on the ground. "Wow. I see the detail of each feather overlapping another. Such grace and beauty." Jack said sounding amazed as he felt a bit more at the base of the wings and to the top in big strokes. "I love them so."

Her wings continued to stiffen, to the point where she didn't really even need to hold them up. "Yeah, well there are just worthless feathery appendages to me since I can't use them." Charcoal said. "Funny thing is, I almost never use my wings. I really am a discrace to pegasi." Charcoal said in a even voice.

Jack began to feel individual feathers one by one. "Well you might be a disgrace to the other pegasi, but you're not even close to a disgrace in my eyes. You're the greatest thing to happen to me." Jack said still occupied by the amazing wings right in front of him. "Oh." Jack said "Didn't you say something about reasons pegasi don't like others touching their wings? What were those reasons?"

"Well... I... um..." Charcoal blushed even more. She was at the point where she couldn't move her wings at all now they were so stiff. She turns to face Jack, blush still prominent. "Well, lets just say that wings are very, very sensitive." Charcoal said as she tried her hardest to make her wings go down.

Jack started to feel that Charcoal's wings weren't really as soft now. Huh? What happened? "Why are your wings so har-" Jack stopped in mid thought. If wings equal sensitive. Wings are hard equals turned on. If sensitive wings plus feeling them equals hard wings. Then... Jack jumped back in realization. "Oh my Celestia. I'm so sorry. I didn't know that I was... They just felt so good." Jack apologized.

"It's alright Jack." Charcoal said. "You didn't know, and it isn't exactly public information outside of pegasi." Charcoal tried to retract her wings again, but failed again. "And the only bother is that my wings are going to be stuck for a little bit until they... go back to normal."

"My apologies." Jack said with his ears back and head bowed. "If there's anyway I can assist you. I'll be glad to partake. It is my fault." Jack stood back up "If you want me to leave. or get you a beverage. Or even... I don't know... cuddle? No. That'd only make it worst. You just name the price and I'll pay it."

Jack stood back up "If you want me to leave. or get you a beverage. Or even... I don't know... cuddle? No. That'd only make it worst. You just name the price and I'll pay it."

"Just time will fix this." Charcoal said. "And you really don't have to do anything, you didn't know about it so it isn't your fault." Charcoal thought of something, then blushed and smiled. "But, that doesn't mean you can't save this information and use it later." Charcoal said.

Jack chuckled "I hope that means what I think that means." he trotted back to Charcoal and nuzzled her "Sometimes I think in the back of my mind that I'm in a dream. It's just that you're too perfect. You're caring, kind, forgiving, strong, independent. I'm surprised that a soft stallion like me can get somepony as great as you." Jack complimented.

"I'm jot that great." Charcoal said as she nuzzled him. "All I do is read and get into trouble. And I can't even stop myself from hurting myself. And I chose you because you care. You are kind, sweet, caring, you can relate to what I have been through, and best of all..." Pause for dramatic effect. "you would never leave me, and that is something some stallions don't seem to get."

"you would never leave me, and that is something some stallions don't seem to get."

"Oh you." Jack said. "The thought of leaving you makes my stomach hurt." he joked 'Getting a little clingy there?' At times. 'Overly attached coltfriend.' Nah. "Sometimes when I wake up, I'm afraid of waking up back in Appleloosa just to find out it's all a dream." Jack said as he kissed Charcoal's cheek.

Charcoal smiled again as she got another idea. "You know, I hear that if you want to know if you are dreaming or not you let somepony hit you and if you feel pain you aren't dreaming." Charcoal lifted a hoof into the air. "You want me to so you can fine out?" Charcoal asked.

[Jack Spades 162]

Charcoal smiled again as she got another idea. "You know, I hear that if you want to know if you are dreaming or not you let somepony hit you and if you feel pain you aren't dreaming." Charcoal lifted a hoof into the air. "You want me to so you can fine out?" Charcoal asked.

Jack looked at Charcoal's hoof as if he was considering it. His ears went back again as he remembered something "Might as well. I did lie to you." Jack confessed "When you caught me touching your wings, I didn't want to tell you that I actually wanted to feel them and to see how agile they were. So if you want to punch me you can. I'm sorry." Jack looked in Charcoal's eyes. 'Good night. See you ext time in a hospital bed.'

Charcoal was surprised to hear that he wanted her to, but that surprised was replaced with anger. She pulled back her hoof in preparation to hit him. As she swung forward she saw what she was about to do and slowed down her punch. It slowed down but she still hit him with a good bit of force.

Jack's head snapped to the side quickly. He heard and felt a few things crack. He fell on the ground. His face was winced as he felt the side of his muzzle burn in pain. "Ow." he simply said. He stood up, staggering a bit. Jack raised a hoof as if to tell Charcoal to stay where she was. With his hooves he turned his head the opposite way she punched him and let out a big crack in the neck. "Ah." Jack said in pain. He grabbed his jaw and pushed it back. Locking it back into place. As he did he saw that his hooves had a red liquid on them. He wiped his nose with his forearm and glanced at it. He looked to Charcoal "Heh. Bloody nose." he said nonchalantly.

Charcoal was about to run to Jacks side, but something was wrong. She felt something wet on the cot and something felt like it was trying to come out of her. Then it struck her as the pain started. "Hey Jack, I think the time has come." She said as she began panting and clutching her stomach.

Jack heard her about the time coming. "What do you mea- Oh! The baby foal!" Jack was about to freak out. 'Calm down. There should be a button for a nurse to come on the bedside table.' Jack decided to take his voice's advice. He jumped to the bedside table where he saw multiple buttons. Some had arrows which Jack could only guess meant it was for the bed. Then he saw one that had a pony on it. Frantically, Jack pushed it again and again before sitting beside Charcoal "Remember. Hee hee, hoo hoo. Breath mare breath!'

 

After a minute a nurse burst through the doors "Whaddaya want?" she saw Jack and Charcoal on a bed while Charcoal was grabbing her stomach. The nurse grabbed a radio that was on the wall and called for immediate assistance. Almost instantly, three other nurses came with a gurney. They moved Charcoal onto the gurney and started wheeling her down the halls.
