A Lesson in Adult Manners 1

	"Hey...Button?" The day had started simple enough. Got up, ate breakfast, came to school. Of course, when you're playing your games until 10 at night, all three of those things are done like you're stuck in slow motion. But all it took was the face of your Sweetie to put that spring in your step again. However, today isn't so simple. Not when she came up to you, hands behind her back, swinging from side to side enough to make that frilly skirt on her white dress swish around, and barely getting her words out that you can't help but pay attention at how cute she is.

	"What is it, Sweetie Belle?" You ask, trying hard to hide the blush on your face. It's only been a couple months since that day when she came up to you while you were playing at the arcade and only a month since you started "dating". Although, "dating" has really only consisted of holding hands while on the way home from school and shakes at the shop. You even got a kiss from her last week! That kiss was only on the cheek, and you totally choked at the shop, but that still counts, right? You've still got the edge over your fellow boys. You're still the target of their envy.

	"We're a couple, right?" She asked. She's fidgeting an awful lot. She's moving her hands around a lot, and it looks adorable. But you have to compose yourself. Losing control now is only gonna scare her.

	"Of course we are!" A very odd question to ask. You're not sure where she's going with this, but you trust her. But you can't help but be a little cautious. "Why do you ask?"

	"Well, I was thinking. We haven't really been alone together..."

	"What do you mean? What about the sweet shop? Or the path through the woods on the way home?" Did those not count? Have you been doing something wrong? It'd be the worst thing ever if you upset her without thinking!

	"I mean...actually alone. Those other times, we were around other people. We haven't had it where it's just...you and me..."

	She did have a point. You did take the long way through the woods so you'd hold her hand that much longer, and you did get your own table at the shop. Those times were within eye contact with other people. So what could she possibly mean by it being just the two of you? "So...what do you wanna do, then?" You decide to ask.

	She scrunches her face. "Look! Just...come home with me after school, okay?" She blurts out.

	"Um...okay," you tell her just before she runs off. You're not sure what you did, but she looked upset. Or was she? If she was really upset, she wouldn't be inviting you to her house, would she? So what was with the angry face she was making? Looks like the only thing to do is what she asks. Lunch is almost over, so that means there's only an hour left before everybody goes home.

	That hour felt like it just wouldn't pass. By Celestia, did that feel like forever! Of course, since you were actually thinking about how long it would be, it made time just go that much slower. But class is over, and there she is, purple backpack and all. She's talking with Applebloom and Scootaloo. You'd recognize Applebloom's red hair and blue overalls alongside Scootaloo's dark purple hair and boyish clothes any day. You only catch the tail end of their conversation, but you figure that she's telling them that she's gonna be spending time with you, given the looks of annoyance on their faces. "Okay, but don't forget..." "I won't," you hear before the two of them walk off on their own.

	"Sweetie," you call out to get her attention. Looks like it worked, she turned to face you. She's smiling at the sight of you. There seems to be something else. You can't tell what it is at your age, but she seems...nervous? Excited? It's hard to tell.

	"Button! There you are," she responds as she walks right next to you. "Let's get going." She grabs your hand quickly and starts running.

	"Whoa!" You almost tripped over your own feet and you swear your arm's gonna rip out of your socket with how fast she's running. "What's the rush?"

	She slows down. "Sorry. I just...really want to get home."

	"Why?" Although, asking questions at this point seems a little redundant. She's your girlfriend, after all. You should trust her.

	"Mmm...I don't wanna tell just yet." She scratches the back of her head. "I'd really like it to be a surprise." Looks like all you can do is trust her. If this was anyone other than Sweetie Belle, it'd probably be some vicious prank. But things like that hardly cross her mind unless she's convinced by Applebloom and Scootaloo. Mostly Scootaloo, but that's neither here nor there.

	You speed up your pace a bit and reach Carousel Boutique in almost no time. "We're here!" Sweetie says in a fanfare manner.

	You just remembered something. "Oh! I should call my mom when we're inside. Just so she knows where I am."

	"Right. Rarity should let you use her phone. Let's get inside."

	You've only seen the inside of the boutique once or twice when your mother dragged you to it. You already know what it looks like, so it's not that big a deal to look at anymore. Sure enough, there's Rarity, coming down the stairs, dressed in her usual white turtleneck and dark purple pencil skirt.

	"Hello, Sweetie Belle. How was school?" Rarity asks in a tone that says 'I don't really care how your day was, but I don't want to seem rude'. She then takes notice of you. "Who is this?"

	"Rarity, this is Button Mash," Sweetie introduces you. "He's from school. I wanted him to hang out with me today. Help me get some homework done." She stealthily nudges you with her elbow.

	You can take a hint. "Uh, how do you do, Miss Rarity?" You put on the best smile you can without looking intimidated.

	"Oh, what a polite young man," Rarity beams. "Here I was, worried that Sweetie Belle was too shy to be around boys."

	"Rarity!" Sweetie cries, embarrassed at the comment.

	"I'm joking, I'm joking," Rarity waves her hand. It's hard to tell if she cares about Sweetie or not. That doesn't matter right now, though. Weren't you gonna ask her something?

	"Can I use your phone to call my mom?" You ask Rarity. "She needs to know I'm here."

	"Of course," she answers. "The phone's right over there. But don't take too long. I only have one land line!"

	You walk over to the small table and dial your number into the phone. After a couple of rings, your mom's voice comes on. "Hello?"

	"Hey, Mom. It's Button," you respond casually.

	"There you are! Where are you? I thought you'd be home from school by now." She doesn't sound especially worried, but you can tell she was, just a little.

	"I'm with Sweetie Belle at her house. Well, her sister's house, actually. She stays here until her parents come back from work. I wanted to hang out here for a while."

	"Well, I would have liked a little warning." She's more annoyed at that than anything. That, you can deal with.

	"Sorry. But I'm letting you know right now."

	"True. You're showing some responsibility, at least," she sighs. "Just mind your manners while you're there. You know how her sister is."

	"Yes, Mom. I'll be back around sundown," you tell her. You say your goodbyes and hang up the phone.

	"Well? Can you stay here?" Sweetie asks you.

	"She's fine with it," you say, followed by an excited hug from Sweetie Belle.

	"Yay! That's great!" She's so close. Your heart's beating like crazy. Compose yourself. Especially in front of her sister. "We're gonna be in my room, okay?" She turns to her sister.

	"That's fine. Just don't goof around too much. I'm expecting clients. And be sure to at least get some homework done before Mother and Father come to pick you up."

	"I will," Sweetie responds like this is normal procedure.

	"One more thing," Rarity says in a tone that gets your attention. "If you're going to be here, Button Mash, I expect you to have some amount of ettiquite. And that means," she waves her hand upward. Suddenly, your hat flies off your head so quickly, you barely notice. The hat flies over to a nearby coat rack and rests at the top. "You take off your hat when you enter the house."

	"Uh, thanks," you say. How easily you forget she can do that.

	"Come on, Button." Once again, Sweetie grabs your wrist and starts towards the stairs. She looks so excited, you wonder what she can possibly want to do in her room. But you're gonna find out soon enough.

	Her room is just as pretty as you'd expect. There's a vanity on one end, and a large bed at the other, with a box no doubt filled with her toys near the window. It looks like it was cleaned up recently.

	"Nice room," you decide to comment.

	"Thanks," she responds as she closes the door behind you.

	"So...what did you want me here for?" You two are alone now, just like she wanted.

	"Well, since we're a couple, I was thinking about things we could do as a couple." She's twiddling her fingers as she's saying this. She was acting like this earlier today, too.

	"Uh-huh." You're not sure where she's going with this, but you confirm that you're at least listening.

	"I saw my sister reading a book a while back. The cover had a man and a woman holding each other, and that meant the story was about a couple. I thought I might get an idea from it, so I looked inside it when Rarity wasn't around..." She pauses.

	"What did you find out?" She's not acting like her usual self. You have to know what she saw.

	"They...they..." Is Sweetie...blushing? "They were hugging and kissing..."

	"Yeah..." Was that it? Hugging and kissing? If she wanted to do that, why all the secrecy?

	"And...they...didn't have their clothes on..." Sweetie finally looks up from her hands at you. "They were...naked while they did it."

	You stand there, your jaw nearly hitting the floor. Is that what adult couples do? Is that what Mom and Dad do? "Really?" You can only say that in light of this information.

	Sweetie nods her head. "I haven't been able to get it out of my head since I read it. Now, I really want to know what that's like. I want to...do that...with you."

	It's strange. You two were only just holding hands and giving pecks on the cheek. Now, she wants to try hugging and kissing? While the two of you are naked? This was like reaching the warp pipe and landing in World 7 from World 2! Narrowly getting a critical on a strong monster and going up 20 levels! You were so beyond the boys at school, you were in space. There's no way you can let this pass by. "I'll do it!" You finally answer.

	"You will?" She looks so happy to hear that. You are definitely winning major points right now. "That's great! Let's get started!" She runs over to the side of the bed.

	"Sure. But how?" You ask, following her.

	"Well, we can start by taking off our shoes and socks," she suggests. She immediately goes about loosening the straps and pulling off her Mary Janes. "That means you too, Button," she reminds you that you have to undress too, so you go to work on pulling the velcro off your sneakers. You pull your socks off without any care of whether or not they turn inside out, just in time to see Sweetie Belle pull off her socks from the toe, showing off her dainty feet as her toes curl in the air.

	"Okay. What's next?" You ask.

	She looks slightly uneasy. "Well...I know it's a big thing to ask, but...would you mind if I undressed you first?"

	"Hmm? Why?"

	"I just want to look at you naked first. Please?" She pleads with those eyes you just can't resist. "I'll let you take my clothes off after. I promise."

	You certainly can't say no to that offer. "Okay." You're about to start your next sentence, but you're cut off when you're suddenly blinded by brown cloth. She's trying to pull your shirt off, but she can't quite get it. You help her by bringing your arms out of the sleeves and pulling the collar off your head. "Give me a little warning before you do that."

	"Sorry. I'll take off your shorts next." Her hands reach towards the button at the top of your shorts, pulls it open, and unzips the zipper. Holding onto the sides of your shorts, you can feel her thumbs reach under your briefs before they are pulled down to your ankles, leaving your bare body in full view.

	You shiver slightly at the feeling of the air against your skin. You haven't done anything, and your heart's already racing. Sweetie Belle staring mesmerizingly at your waist isn't helping matters.

	"Uh...Sweetie Belle?" You try to get her attention.

	"Yeah..." she responds back, not looking up at you. It occurs to you she's never seen a penis before. While the thought of her fondling it sounds nice, there's something even nicer waiting for you.

	"Can it be my turn now?" You cover your crotch with her hands so she'll focus.

	"Ahh! Right!" With the line of sight broken, Sweetie snaps out of her trance. Her face is almost completely red as she stands up and turns around. She moves her two-toned hair to the side, revealing a zipper on the back of her dress. "Go ahead," she tells you.

	"Okay." Your hands slowly reach for the zipper. Gently taking it between two fingers, you gently pull the tab down. The zipper opens, revealing more and more of her bare back. As it comes down to the middle of her back, the shoulder straps slip away from her neck, showing off her bare shoulders. She shuffles slightly, allowing the dress to fall completely off her body and collect at her ankles.

	"That already felt...exciting," she says. "Okay. One last thing to go."

	"Right. Here I go." You crouch down and your hands seem to move on their own as they grip the back. You take in a deep breath and pull. The curve of her butt is almost too beautiful to behold, so soft looking and nice, you want to touch it. But before you can act on this, she turns to face you, and the sight of a pair of lips between her legs permeates your view.

	Sweetie giggles as you stand back up to look her in the face. "We did it. We're naked..." She rubs her arm shyly. You didn't think she'd look any cuter without clothes on, but you can't deny this is adorable beyond reason.

	"Yeah. What do we do now?" You ask. Being naked like this feels great, but is that all there is? Just then, Sweetie Bell wraps her arms around your neck in a warm embrace.

	"They hug each other like this and kiss." She presses herself gently against your body. She looks at you with eyes almost in a trance, her face fixed in a smile. She closes her eyes and puckers her lips as it approaches yours until they finally collide with your own.

	Upon the feeling of her kiss, your body seems to react, and your instincts take hold. You wrap your arms around her, reaching around her back. She's so incredibly soft and warm, you almost can't take it. You run your hands up and down her back, from up to her shoulders to down to her butt, all the while kissing her lips again and again. Her butt's so squishy and nice, and listening to the sounds she's making as these new sensations come all at once feels so good. There's no mistaking it. She is yours now, and you are hers.

	Sweetie takes a moment to pull herself from your face. She's gasping for air. You're breathing through your mouth too, like you just got your head out of the water. Maybe you went a little overboard. She then looks down to your waist and utters, "Woah."

	You look down and notice your penis is stiff and sticking forward. "Uh...that's..."

	"How'd you get it to do that?" She bends down to take a closer look at it.

	"It does that whenever I feel really good," You say, putting your hands behind your back sheepishly. "Usually, it's like this when I have a dream about you."

	"Really? What are the dreams like?"

	"A lot like this," you tell her. Now is a good time as any. "I love you, Sweetie Belle."

	"I love you, too..." Sweetie says back, but as soon as that escapes her lips, the both of you hear a knock at the door. A quick series of taps.
