>Be Rararararararararararararararararararara >The dress hoers one not the gaudy fake-maned hack >It was a wonderful day in Ponyville today >The sun was shining >Rainbow had finally gotten off of her lazy flank and did her job so there wasn't a cloud in the sky >And you were in a good mood >A VERY good mood >You had finished a big order from a noble in Canterlot the night before >The noble had been ecstatic on your fast work and had given you a rather large bonus along with your agreed upon price >So, in light of a job well done and money well made, you had treated yourself to a spa day >You had been working ever so hard, and you just needed a day to relax and recuperate >A lady needed to know when to work and when to play after all >And "play" you did >Aloe and Lotus had been wonderful as always >You felt relaxed >You felt pampered >And most importantly you looked MARVELOUS >In fact as you trotted through town you couldn't help but notice that you were turning more than a few heads! >In fact-- >"Squiggle tail!" >Turning your head you watched as Anonymous ran toward you with a smile on his face " Oh horse apples... Anonymous! Good afternoon darling!" >Though you smiled when you saw him you couldn't help but take a few steps back when you saw a particular look in his eye >Anonymous, bless his kind heart, was a very affectionate stalli--er man >He'd pick up anypony and hug them for any reason >Even if said pony didn't want to be picked up and hugged or petted or anything else that the silly man did to them >And while you were nothing but supportive of all of your friends... quirks you had JUST gotten out of the spa... >And Aloe had spent HOURS getting your mane in the state that it was in now... >So, it was with a heavy heart that the second that Anon came within a few feet of him you grabbed him by his pants and hoisted him up into the air with your magic "I'm sorry darling," you apologise when you see his confused expression. "I've just come back from the spa you see." >Moving your head to and fro you give the dear a chance to look over your figure "So I'm afraid that I can't give you a hug at the moment." >Gently setting the human down you give him your winningest smile "Perhaps a hoofshake might be more appropriate?" >Anon just started at your outstretched hoof >Though you were sure that he was none too pleased by your admittedly rough handling you were sure that he'd be quick to forgive you if he just thought about it >You were just protecting the perfection that was your body at >Aloe and Lotus had spent the whole morning making you look like this >It's be a slap in the face if you didn't do anything in your power to look like this for as long as possible! >Without warning Anonymous's face began to twist into a scowl >"Rarararararara." >Your smile twitched when you heard the tone in his voice "Yes dear?" >"Come and give me a hug you silly horse." >You took a step away from him as he got to his knees >Oh goodness... >You know that look in his eyes... >And you most certainly know the smile that's forming on his face! "I'd love to hug you, dear, really I would!" >Anon makes his way to his feet and stands up to his full height >Panic starts to well up in your stomach as you watch him roll his shoulders and crack his neck >That ruffian better not be doing what you think he's doing... >You JUST came back from the spa! "...Would you take a raincheck dear? I really can't--epp!" >You managed to dodge just in the nick of time as Anon leapt for you, his arms outstretched "Anonymous! DON'T YOU DARE!" >As quick as a snake he rolled back to his feet, a determined look in his eyes >To your horror you could see that dirt covered his suit >Which meant if he managed to get his grubby hands on you you'd be covered in dirt and Celestia knows what in an instant >All of that hard work ruined in the blink of an eye! >NO! >You could NOT let that happen! >You would not STAND for it! >Anon was just going to have to be an adult and-- >You jumped as Anon threw back his head and roared >"GET YOUR FURRY ASS OVER HERE, RARITY!" >...What were you thinking?! >This was Anonymous! >Of COURSE he wouldn't act like an adult! >The two of you stared at each other for about a minute >Time seemed to freeze in that moment... "TataDarlinggottago!!!" >Without further ado you took off down the road as quickly as your hooves (within reason of course. You didn't want to get any dirt on you) could take you >Though you could see ponies staring oddly as you weaved around mare and stallion, cart and stall, you paid them no mind >You needed to get away >Needed to get into the safety of your home >Anonymous might have been... brash but not even he wouldn't break into your house! >Especially not when you placed a few protective spells on it! >To your surprise you don't hear Anon pursuing you >And that worries you more than you cared to admit... >Risking a look over your shoulder you see that the human had disappeared >Skidding to a halt you looked around >Where was he? >WHERE WAS HE?! >... >Stop that this INSTANT Rarity Belle >A lady such as yourself does not lose her composure like this over something as silly as a HUG! >Forcing yourself to take a deep breath you close your eyes >Though you expect Anon to swoop in and tackle you nothing happens "...Anonymous?" you called, cracking open an eye. "Anonymous, are you there, dear? >Silence and some stares by a few of the townsponies are your only answer as you look around the humanless street >...Huh >He must have respected your decision and left you alone... >... >... >... >Horse apples >Frowning gently you once again began to make your way to your abode "Anonymous is not one to give up so easily," you mutter to yourself, reaching up to quaft your mane. "So where has he gone?..." >You feel as though you are being watched as you cautiously make your way to your house >At every turn you expect Anonymous to be there >In every alley you expect him to be lying in wait >But the whole way home you aren't ambushed >You don't even see hide nor hare of the stallion... >Humph >Maybe your gentlecolt lessons have had more of an effect of him than you first thought? >Maybe he found somepony else to hug? >Whatever the answer may be it appears that you, and your mane, are in the clear!! >Though you still kept an eye out for that giant green ruffian a smile made its way into your face as you fished out your keys and unlocked your door "I hope the dears not too upset at me... I know that he wanted a hug but I MUST keep myself as unsullied as possible! I can make it up to him another day if nee-" >You didn't even have time to react as your door was thrown open, revealing a grinning Anonymous >"Got ya squiggle tail!" he gleefully cried >Though you SHOULD be concern about how Anonymous got into your LOCKED house the only thought that you had at that moment was getting away >But, alas, it was all for naught >Your guard had been let down and Anonymous was far faster than he looked >Neither magic nor your reflexes could save you as the human picked you up and bodily carried you into your own home kicking and screaming "Anonymous! ANONYMOUS! YOU PUT ME DOWN RIGHT NOW!" >Though you batted at his head and shoulders the ruffian only reacted to your blows with a manic giggle, carrying you into your tea room >Well... >If nothing else he at least took off his shoes... >With a smug smile on his face, Anonymous picked you up so that your noses your touching >You stare at the human with narrowed eyes, your nose scrunching up dangerously >Ohhhhh! >That. Was. It! >Enough of this nonsense! >You were going to give Anonymous the talking to of a lifetime! "Anon, you put me down this--" >You could only let out a gasp as Anonymous lifted you up so that your stomach was exposed to him >Realizing what he was doing you squirmed even harder but it was too-- >"PHMPHMFPMFHPMFPHMFPMHFP!!!" >The second that Anon puts his mouth on your belly he starts to blow as hard as he can >Instantly you begin laughing, squirming and kicking all the while "HAHAHAHAHAHAH! ANONYMOUS! HEHEHEHEHEHEHEH! L-LET ME DOWN THIS--HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! INSTANT YOU RUFFIAN--HEHEHEHEHEH!" >Anonymous keeps held firmly in his arms as he give you his vile raspberry, only pausing to take a breath >"PHMPHTPMTHPTMHTPHMTPHMPPPPPPPP!" "STOPITSTOPITSTOPITSTOPITSTOOOOOOOPPPPPPIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTT!" >You tried to use your magic to do something but you couldn't with how hard you were laughing >As time dragged on tears started to blur your vision >Your wiggling became so frantic that Anon lost his balance with a grunt >Since he wasn't a COMPLETE ruffian he made sure to tuck you against his chest during the fall >Still laughing, you managed to free yourself from Anon's grasp the second that the two of you hit the ground >"Naha," Anon yelled, laughing just as hard as you. "You get back here, Rarara!" "You get away from me this instant!" you yelled as he crawled toward you >"Not until I get that hug you silly horse!" he retorted, grabbing your tail >All you were able to do was yelp as he pulled you back toward him >You and Anonymous then began rolling around on your once clean floor, playfully shoving and ticking and batting at each other, both of you laughing so hard that your stomachs felt like they were going to burst >Eventually, as any lady would in a situation like this, you ended the your little tussle on top of the ruffian that had so tormented you >Your mane was RUINED, you could feel yourself covered in sweat and dirt from Anonymous's coat, your mascara was running and you had tears in your eyes >By all rights you should be FURIOUS >All of that time at the spa RUINED... >But... >Sighing, you give Anonymous a look before resting your head on his chest "I don't know why I put up with your nonsense..." >You couldn't help but let out a pleased hum as Anon's hands scratched your back and sides >"Oh you love it, marshmallow," he snarks as you >Humphing you boop his nose "I expect something from this hug, Anonymous," you say, sticking your nose up into the air. "I believe that I deserve it after all of your nonsense!" >You giggled as Anon's fingers danced across your ribs before he rested his hands on the small of your back >"You were gonna get dirty eventually, Rare," he pointed out as you gently nuzzled his chest. "Me doing this is better than your sister running in and spilling something on you or something like that." >...True >But you were going to have to insist "When we get up off this floor you are going to go upstairs into my bedroom--" >"Saucy." "--Shush! You are going to go into my bedroom and you are going to grab the white pearl comb that's sitting on the nightstand." >Your hind legs begins to kick as Anonymous's hands start to scratch your shoulders and neck but you ignore it >You were a lady on a mission "Then you are going to come back down here and you are going to do your very best to brush all of this filth off of my AND you are going to fix my mane." >Looking up at him with narrowed eyes you wrapped your front legs around his chest just as his hands reach your ears >Though your eyelids flutter at his surprisingly delicate touch you manage to fix him a stern glare "There. There's the hug that you so desperately NEEDED." >Patting your head, Anon tries to sit up... >"Alright, just let me get your comb and--" >...Only for you to force him right back onto the ground "I said that you would comb me AFTER the hug, Anon," you chided >Your horn glowed, encasing his hands and forcing them back into your head "As you can see I haven't finished this hug." >You give him another look "Now if you know what's good for you I'd continue lathering my mane in affection." >A sigh escapes you as Anon ran his fingers through your mane >Still silky smooth, your hair flowed around his fingers like silk as he massaged your scalp >Though you would never admit it to ANYPONY the feeling was heavenly >And you weren't going to even get started on what he did with your ears! "A little harder than that you beast..." >You bounced on Anonymous's stomach as he chuckled, his long arms wrapping around your body and holding you as close as physically possible >"As my lady commands," he said as you closed your eyes >Hmmm.... >There was some hope for this stallion yet... >Not much but SOME
