Glazed donuts w/ Izzy Stradlins

MINORS DNI 18+ Contains sexual content

Izzy walked into the cafe, his arm wrapping around the brunette's waist, pulling her back away from the counter she was wiping down and banding her back to his chest with his arm slung over her waist.

“Hello Aya darling.” His kiss landed on her tenor before securing both arms in a hug around her waist, resting his chin on her shoulder as she rolled her eyes at the affectionate man. 

“Working, Iz.” She tried to spin away from him but he made a tsk sound, guiding them back towards the kitchen when Sasha was taking out her latest batch of cupcakes. 

As soon as she saw the enter she rolled her eyes in annoyance. 

“You’re lucky this batch needs to cool. Don’t fuck on the counters I bake on, please? I don’t need any help making the glaze for my desserts” The door swung shut behind her and Izzy turned his girl so he could look at her. 

The way he smirked, like a cat that just got the cream made Aya shake her head. 

“You heard her. No sex in the kitchen.” Izzy’s dramatic sigh at Aya’s words had the corners of her lips turning up, his hand in hers as he pulled her through another door to the back alleyway.

“Guess I’m just going to have to fuck you out here then.” Her front was pressed against the brick wall as he let his big hands slide up her thighs, dragging the retro uniform the girls had picked out for their bakery with them. 

They had opened the bakery three months ago in Izzy’s hometown. After he had parted with Guns N Roses he needed a bit of a break to recoup from the loss of a band and having to change his dreams at a point in his life he though he was supposed to be living them. 

Luckily his girl had agreed to go and her loyal best friend had made the trek back to Lafayette where they opened up their coffee shop bakery. Aya made the coffee and ran the books while in the back Sasha cooked up all sorts of treats to serve.

They were already making more money than they expected, the location popular on weekends and early mornings for people in town. They created an atmosphere that thrived and Izzy loved seeing his girl happy and finding her home in a place he loved.

He wanted her always to be at home with him.

His mouth was on her neck, long kisses and sucks as she whimpered, pressing her ass  back and towards where the guitarist was.

“We could go home. It’s just down the street.” she muttered as his lips finally met hers. His hand sliding into the lace of his panties. His middle finger tapped at her clit, circling it as her juices leaked along her seam.

“You say this like I can wait.” He nipped at her lips, “I’m starved for you, Aya darling.” As if to prove his point to his give he dropped to his knees, his face buried between her legs. 

Izzy’s tongue licked over the lace of her panties, pressing the thin material into her wet heat as he tasted her cream through the barrier. With A growl, needing more, Izzy hooked a finger, dragging the fabric to the side as his nose bumped her slit, his tongue circling her opening as he groaned, wishing it was his cock.

Aya groaned, her back arching, thighs parting to give her man more room to feast on her. She loved him most when he was on his knees worshiping her.

Two thick fingers pressed inside of her, her lips parting as she moaned his name. Her knees already shaking as he twisted his fingers, the knuckles drenched with her as he rubbed in a come hither motion, pulled them in and out and prepared her to take him.

“I could touch you all day and I still don't think it would be enough.” He muttered, laying a kiss on the back of her thigh as he started standing. 

His lips kissed the roundness of her ass, a possessive impulse had his teeth sinking into it, watching the way his teeth marked her.

Mine. His thumb ran over the indents as he soothe it, fingers still working in and out of her body. 

“You ready to take me, darling? Do you want to feel me inside of you now?” His hand slid to his jeans, working his belt off and zipper open. 

His eyes on her body was he stroked himself and slid his fingers from her using her cum as lube. 

“Just fuck me.” She moaned as his tip slid up and down her seam, spreading her juices around as he made a mess of her. “Fuck, Iz, Please. I need your cock.” He growled, satisfied with her answer now as he pressed forward inside of her 

His cock bottomed out as he thrust deep, his balls slapping her clit as Aya let out a sound, her scream and moan sounding like a chant to Izzy.

“Fuck, that’s my girl. Your pussy is suffocating me. Fuck, I love when you squeeze me like that.” His praise as he fucked her, telling her how good she was taking him had Aya’s eyes rolling back, her body shifting so Izzy was hodling her wight as he drolled inside of her. “Give it to me. I want your orgasm, Aya darling. Gonna make my pussy cum so hard you won’t be able to walk back inside. I’m going to stuff you with my cum and have you work the rest of your shift filled with me. Do you want that? Do you want all my cum?” He growled in her ear as the wet slaps of them fucking filled the alley. 

“Yes, I want it. Want you to fill me.” Izzy’s hand slid over her clit, two fingers rubbing her as she bucked forward. The explosion of her orgasm had him having to hold her, fucking her as he chased his pleasure with her. 

One last thrust and his balls tightened, the surge as he filled her, pumping as the mix of their cum slid out, leaking over both of them and staining them with mixed pleasure. 

“You took me so well, aya darling. So fucking well, sweetheart.” He tucked himself back in his pants moving to slide her panties back up. His tongue lapping up their cum as it leaked down her thighs, kissing her lace covered pussy when she was all covered up.

Aya’s legs shook as he slid the uniform back down, slapping her ass and getting a glare from her. 

“I still have to be here for an hour.” She warned as they moved back inside. Izzy shrugged, sitting on one of the counter stools. 

“For you, I’ll wait forever.”

a heart's warming to Never forget

All three regions of Equestria that are known all experience the seasons. Every season to be exact, from the pollen allergy inducing spring, to the super hot summers with cool thunderstorms, to the colorful and chilly fall, and to the brisk and snowy winters.

Winter in Maretime Bay was always a little intense. Huge snowstorms would always come to the beach town, often laying multiple inches of soft powder. While this was nice for a season, it sometimes got a little overwhelming. The town was able to handle it in the end, always finding new ways to help cope with clearing the snow.

This winter was rather tame, currently with about an inch of snow on the ground. The temperature never went above 20oF, resulting in everypony to wear the proper attire. While the Earth ponies always wore clothing, the Pegasi and Unicorns were lucky to not do so. Their fur grew a little bit more fluffy, almost unnoticeable to another. But the little bit of difference really did the trick. Pipp Zipp and Izzy rarely wore winter clothing, apart from the usual scarf or mittens to stop the snow from making their hooves from going cold.

Hitch and Sunny had the short end of the stick here.

The five were currently outside at the Maretime Bay Cafe, enjoying coffee, hot chocolate, and warm pastries. Sunny wore a heavy black winter coat, the inside having thick fur in order to help cope with the cold. Her whole body was wearing a black jumpsuit that tightly clung to her body that went all the way from her rear hooves, up to her neck. A light silver scarf was wrapped around her neck, as well as a color matching beanie with a white fluff ball at the top of it. She was comfortable.

Hitch... was still cold. He wore the highest grade of snow gear. It was very similar to sunny. He also wore a black near skin tight jumpsuit, a heavy white winter coat, a black scarf, and as well as a color matching beanie with a black fluff ball. At the bottom of his hooves were small rubber pads. He looked as if he was ready to face a blizzard.

The other three mares wore simple scarfs, with Izzy wearing a beanie.

They sat in silence, sipping on their hot drinks, occasionally taking a bite into their pastries.

"So guys," Izzy started, "Are we all ready for tonight's Hearth's Warming Eve party?" The other ponies nodded their heads yes.

Tonight was much more special than previous events. It would be just the five of them at the Brighthouse, enjoying music, food, sweet treats, eggnog, and other various spiked concoctions. The Brighthouse was decorated to the tee, with various lights accenting the building in beautiful colors. A tree was in the middle of the Brighthouse, wearing ornaments from all the regions of Equestria. At the top of the tree, was a different ornament. After Sunny showed it to the other four ponies, they all agreed that it was perfect. The colored ornament of Twilight Sparkle in Alicorn form stood at the top of the tree, standing on her rear legs, posing in a beautiful fashion. The rest of the Brighthouse on the inside featured multiple ambient lights from Bridlewood, and other various golden ornaments from Zephyr Heights.

"Don't forget to bring your presents!" Izzy added. They had arranged for each pony to have a present for one another, Hitch having a present for Sunny, Sunny for Pipp, Pipp for Izzy, Izzy for Zipp, and Zipp for Hitch.

After the group dispersed to get ready for the party, Hitch and Pipp stayed at the table to finish up their drinks. "Hitch, you look freezing." Pipp remarked, laughing at his expense.

"Har har, at least the coffee helps." He said, taking a huge sip of coffee, warming his insides right up. Pipp only giggled.

As day turned into dusk, the couple made their way to the Brighthouse. Hitch barely made it being so cold, as he only wore an aquamarine scarf in order to look less ridiculous. Pipp wore a purple scarf to compliment her hair, and boy oh boy did it make her look adorable.

When entering the Brighthouse, the sweet smell of baking, and fresh pine filled the two's noses. The Brighthouse had every light on, withThe three mares that lived there were all in the kitchen chatting away. They all turned and smiled to see the two ponies at the main door. Hitch couldn't've been more relived to be in a heated room. He went and set down his and Pipp's presents at the living room coffee table with the other three. When he made it to the kitchen, he stood next to Sunny. Pipp was across from him with Zipp and Izzy.

As the night went on, they all chatted away about what has been happening in the past week, and how they were getting ready for the big storm approaching in the next few days. The food was eventually gone, and so did the sweets and pastries, and eventually the eggnog, and spiked drinks. Hitch decided not to drink tonight. A few months back during Nightmare Night, he learned that Izzy went overboard with the drinks, and decided to sit this one out. Pipp wasn't fairing too well with the drinks this time. She was definitely under the influence, being way more touchy, her filter nonexistent. Zipp had to cover her mouth a few times in order to stop her from talking about more private things about herself and even Hitch. All Hitch did was laugh, yet was also embarrassed when something about him slipped out of Pipp, causing the other three mares to be shocked.

It was now nearing midnight, and Hitch and Pipp were sitting at a small table near a window of the Brighthouse. A small flurry was taking place outside. Pipp was on her phone, responding to her fans, and Hitch was just sitting there, admiring the girl in front of him. She looked so happy when responding to her Pippsqueaks. After her little incident with a fan way back before she knew Hitch, Pipp had learned how to respond them. Gone were

the DMs, and onto a new way, such as using the 'ask me a question' feature on her story, and responding to comments on her posts. A genuine smile was on her face as she scrolled and tapped away.

Suddenly, a jingling sound could be heard next to them. It was Zipp, holding a plastic stick, and at the top of it, which hung over Hitch and Pipp, was a mistletoe. Behind Zipp was Sunny and Izzy, both smirking, which told Hitch what they wanted. Pipp suddenly also looked up and then over to Zipp, who nodded her head over to Hitch. Pipp rolled her eyes and smiled. Leaning up out of her chair over to Hitch, grabbing him by his scarf, locking him into a kiss. Due to her lack of sobriety, it was not the most neat of kisses. Hitch was surprised, no doubt, but he soon closed his eyes and continued the kiss. The three mares all made an 'aww' sound as they saw for the first time, Hitch and Pipp sharing a real kiss. They didn't really show and public displays of affection, often just a quick peck on the cheek held them over till they got back home. Of course that's where the real fun for them took place. Their sex life was not dull at any point. Hitch being as the safe stallion he was, always took precautions when it came to sex, but was eventually shot down by Pipp, explaining that she trusted Hitch.

When the two separated, a loud smooch sound emitted from the two from the sloppy kiss. Hitch only blushed as Pipp just smiled towards him.

A few moments later, the silence was broken by the clock on the wall dinging softly, announcing it was midnight. It was now Hearth's Warming.

"Well, I think it's about time Hitch and I go back home." Pipp said, smiling at the sound of disappointed sighs coming from her left.

Hitch"

actually I have one more gift to share for tonight for pipp " he said much to everyone's shock and amazement as pipp smiled as her eyes sparkled as she looked at hitch " I mean I know in the gift exchange I had to get sunny  a gift  but I just wanted a little  something extra to give her

Pipp" awww Hitch don't worry about it you don't have to get me anything  being here with you is just enough " she said nuzzling against  him" besides there's always next year

Hitch " yeah but I wanted  this year to be extra special to say thanks for all that you've  done cause of how you make everyday special just being yourself " he said as he got an idea as he looked at her" say uh pipp I know you don't usually do this but  do you  think you could let me borrow your lucky  microphone for this occasion?

Pipp " Uh sure but why?" She asked as she handed her lucky microphone to him"

Hitch" you'll see I have a surprise just for you " he said as he lead her outside where a bunch of carol singer's were  waiting for them as hitch  turned  the mic on and started singing a special song for pipp

soft piano music *

Hitch

Everyday is special cause of you

Pipp sat there amazed at the heart felt emotions she felt  through that song as she looked down nervously as she stepped forward before  wrapping her hooves around hitch's neck as she started  crying " h hitch  I I don't know what to say  t this is all so sweet of you" she said as hitch smiled and carried her back  in as  he wiped her tears  as he was still freezing a bit as pipp noticed " come on once we get home I'll make you something warm to drink " she said kissing his cheek

As Hitch and Pipp got ready to leave, they said their final goodbyes, and headed out into the cold. The snow was now coming down faster. It wasn't too bad, but it seemed that the snow storm was coming faster than expected.

When they reached 10X Maretime Bay, The snow had already added a noticeable amount to the already accumulated snow on the ground.

When getting up to the apartment, the two were met with red ambient lighting, romantic music playing softly. Hitch looked around. 'Pipp must've set all this up on her phone on the way back.'

He turned around to see Pipp locking the door, now walking towards him. He would've gladly had fun with her tonight, if it wasn't for her one mess up of a step towards him. She stumbled forward slightly and to the left. She didn't fall, but it was the classic sign of drunk. Hitch wasn't one to take advantage, even if Pipp always said that she wanted him. She always came up with the argument of that, and that they were together, and it's not being taken advantage of if she wants it and they are in said relationship. But she lost every time when Hitch reminded her that she wouldn't do so when the roles were reversed.

After her stumble, she looked at Hitch in embarrassment. "I swear Hitch I'm fine. I know what I'm doing." She was smiling, ears flat, knowing it wasn't going to work.

"C'mon, let's get to bed."

Pipp's ears perked, "And have-"

"No!" Hitch interupted her with a slight yell, smiling brightly on the verge of laughing. Sometimes Pipp really could be funny.

As they got to the bed, Hitch helped Pipp into her side, then getting to his. As he got into bed, he looked over to his marefriend, who stared right back, eyes half lidded, giving him a look he knew all too well.

"Come on Hitch, let's have a little fun on Hearth's Warming Eve? Please?"

"Oh my stars Pipp it's not Hearth's Warming Eve anymore!" Hitch almost laughed uncontrollably.

"Even better." Pipp responded, making her way under the covers. Hitch immediately sat up and grabbed her.

"No no no sweetheart not tonight okay?"

Pipp moaned in protest, but didn't fight. "No fun." She murmured in a child like tone.

As Hitch got Pipp to lay back down, she turned away and backed straight into him, right where he didn't want her to back into. Hitch just let that part happen, as she didn't do anything more. They sat in silence until Pipp suddenly took a deep breath in.

"I love you Hitch, forever."

Hitch sat there for a while, just holding Pipp. She told him that before, but this time it hit him differently. She said it with such realism. She meant every word. 'She's the one.'

"I love you so much Pipp." Hitch responded, placing a kiss on the side of her cheek, earning a smile, and a small laugh.

Morning arose, and the wow was it bright in the room. Hitch forgot to lower the blinds, resulting in light pouring in. Not only that, but he seemed to have forgotten to turn off the music too, as soft heart's warming tuneswere coming out of the speakers above. It was only 8 a.m. and it was very bright out from the amount of powder on the ground. It was still snowing, and hard, almost impossible to see. Hitch was awoken by Pipp stretching.

"Morning Pipp" She turned to see Hitch, smiling down at her. She smiled back, going up for a kiss. "You want breakfast?"

"Of course babe. But wait here okay? I got something I wanna show you before that." Pipp got up and out of the bed, going over to their closet. She then returned with a very small white box. She climbed back onto the bed, took a deep breath, and gave it to Hitch, a small bit of hesitation in her actions.

He opened it, and he did not expect to see this at all.

In front of him, was life changing He was at a loss for words. Actually, that's true. Words couldn't describe how he was feeling. He never thought he'd see this for a very long time. Was this real? His eyes widened, mouth falling open. Pipp just waited for his response. She got progressively more nervous as she waited for his response. Hitch was near motionless. He just kept staring, occasionally getting ready to react, but stopping. Pipp's ears drooped, worrying something might go wrong.

"H-...Hitch?"

This finally got the stallion out of his own world.

"Y-... Pipp, you're... pregnant?"

Pipp was so nervous, all she could do was swallow, and nod yes.

Hitch suddenly got up and out of the bed, which alarmed Pipp. "W-wait Hitch, I can explain. It's yours and I-I-I erm, I am in the very early stages... we can abort if you aren't ready!"

Hitch wasn't listening, we went into his closet and into the dresser where some clothing for more cold events lay. Now Pipp really started to panic, tears starting to form in her eyes. "Hitch please talk to me. I can't lose you. Please, don't leave me-" Pipp was cut off, tears about ready to fall, when Hitch turned around with a black box in his hoof.

"Wha..." Pipp mumbled.

Pipp, I'd never leave you. I... I have to admit that I was not expecting this at all any time soon. I wasn't even planning to give this to you for at lease another year, but this news has made my mind up about you."

Hitch opened the box, a simple gold necklace, with a beautiful green diamond hung on it.

Pipp's mouth dropped. "Pipp, you've not only given me just about everything I was missing in life. You have made me possibly the happiest pony in Equestria, and I wouldn't trade any of this for anything else."

Hitch took the necklace, undid the clasp, and put it around Pipp's neck.

"Pipp Pedals, if you say yes, you will have not only completed my life, but given me purpose to keep going. And the fact that you are carrying my foal right now, and decided to tell me rather than just abort it, and we aren't even married, tells me that you are the one for me. You always have been Pipp, there's no doubt in my mind about that. But this, this solidifies my reasons for making you my forever special somepony."

The tears flowed down the mares cheeks. "Pipp Pedals, will you marry me, and make me one hundred and ten percent complete in life?"

The princess nodded yes kissing the Sheriff of maretime bay

When they separated, Hitch gave Pipp a hug, running his hoof on her back as she audibly cried tears of joy.

After a few moments, Pipp pulled away, Hitch letting go of her.

"Yes Hitch, I will marry you. I want to be there to see the stallion I've helped become who he is today, as you did for me."

Now it was Hitch's turn to smile at his newly engaged lover.

After a few seconds of sharing loving looks, Pipp decided to bring up the obvious. "Well, what now?"

Hitch smiled again. "We'll do what we always do, take on the day ahead of us... together."

Pipp had more tears, going in for another kiss.

They now had a lot of explaining to do.

A princess and her sheriff

Chapter 8 A minor hitch

Racing to make it to the cafe in time, Pipp Petals beelined through the main street, toppling over a nearby pedestrian as she did. While still dazed and in a panic, she extended her wings to halt her running legs. She skid across the dirt haphazardly and pivoted to assist the poor unfortunate soul that had the bad luck of being in her uncoordinated path. Carefully, Pipp assisted them to a stand and brushed the young pony off with her wing.

Sorry about that! I’m late meeting some friends, I guess I wasn’t paying attention to where I was going, miss…” Pipp bowed her head apologetically at the pony before her.

Clearing their throat, the pony raised a brow. Their dark pink coat was now covered in dirt, as they adjusted themselves. When their voice exited their mouth, however, it came out in a deeper tone than Pipp expected.

“I’m a guy…” They spoke with a squared eye.

Pipp could feel the blood rush to her face as she realized her mistake. “Oh… Ummm… Well, this is awkward… Sorry again…” Pipp rubbed her neck nervously.

The stallion scoffed, rolled his eyes, and trotted off, a bit of annoyance in his step as he muttered something about Pegasi being clumsy and careless. Pipp wanted to rebuttal but realized that perhaps a pegasus that had bumped into someone because she wasn’t paying attention to where she was going wasn’t the best candidate to educate other ponies on stereotypes of Pegasi being careless.

With a sigh, she scolded herself internally before she remembered why she had taken out that pedestrian in the first place. Right, the cafe! I’m so late!

With a flap of her wings, she put some hustle in her step and darted her way to the cafe at the corner. She was still getting to know the bay area, but she and her friends had made this spot a regular hangout.

Looking down at her phone, the princess gulped as she saw the time: 2:38 PM. She was horrendously late.

Pipp composed herself and ran a hoof through her stylish mane. She took a few breaths and then made her entrance into the cafe. There at a round table, she could see her friends. Sunny was attentively listening, while Pipp’s sister Zipp sat in silence. Izzy, of course, had her face buried in a milkshake which she was loudly slurping down without a care in the world.

Then, of course, standing at the end of the table speaking was Hitch Trailblazer. His styled mane swayed just slightly as he spoke. Pipp got lost for a moment as she examined him, his strong hooves, his impressive physique, and his gorgeous eyes.

The mare snapped out of her fantasy as she remembered how late she was. Approaching carefully, she cleared her throat to speak. “Uh… Sorry, I’m late, I was…”

Hitch’s eyes narrowed as he glanced over at her. “Why should I be surprised that you’re late for this as well?”

“I’m really sorry…” Pipp’s ears flopped down.

He shrugged. “No worries, I just finished up anyway. Thanks to everyone who came…” He looked back at the rest at the table.

“Hitch, I-“ Pipp didn’t get to finish her sentence before he held out a hoof to dismiss her.

“I have to get back on duty. See you later, I guess…” He said before marching out the door.

A long exasperated sigh escaped Pipp as she sat down after Izzy scooted over to make room for her. Her head flopped onto the table in defeat as another sigh emitted from her. “I suck…” She announced.

“Well, you did miss his commendation ceremony last month, and now you missed him announcing his promotion to Marshal. You can’t really expect him to not be mad,” Zipp reminded.

“Thank you for reminding me, Zephyrina…” Pipp responded with an annoyed tone in her voice.

“Hey, at least you didn’t miss his birthday two days ago!” Izzy chimed in.

Pipp’s eyes widened at that comment. “His what!?”

“You forgot Hitch’s birthday?” Sunny frowned.

Pipp planted her face into the table with an audible thud.

“Wow, you really do suck…” Izzy commented.

Sunny gave the unicorn a nasty look which caused Izzy to make a sheepish face before trying to salvage the situation. “I mean… you suck… In a good way…?”

Sunny facehoofed at that statement. “I don’t even want to get into why that statement is so wrong…”

“On the plus side, at least you can get a smoothie!” Izzy gestured toward the counter in a desperate attempt to change the subject.

Pipp’s eyes widened as she realized she forgot to bring any money. “Darn it, I forgot my money…”

Izzy chuckled. “You are just full of bad news today, aren’t you?”

After a long day of beating herself up, Pipp finally retired to her home. Some rest would assist her in getting her mind off what a horrible day she had just endured. Flopping down onto her bed, she quickly pulled the feather-filled comforter over her body and buried her face into her pillow.

She tried to take her mind off of Hitch and how annoyed he was at her. Who needs to think about that, right? No one. So stop thinking about it, Pipp. You’re still thinking about him, and his stylish mane, his cute eyes, his really muscular physique…

Pipp’s daydream was interrupted, however when she heard her door creak open. Her ears twitched and her eyes darted toward the door where she saw her sister standing with a concerned expression. “Still upset over the whole Hitch situation?”

The blood in Pipp’s face quickly rushed to her cheeks. “Why would I be upset over that?”

“Probably because you like him?” Zipp smirked.

“W-wha? Who said that!?” Pipp stuttered.

Zipp casually walked into the room and the grin on her face only got bigger. “Well, I doubt you could be more obvious about it if you tried, your face gets all kinds of red the moment you talk to him.”

“Am I that obvious?” Pipp frowned with her ears drooping.

Zipp chuckled and placed a hoof on her sister’s shoulder. “Unfortunately, yes, but that’s alright.”

“Not really, you heard Izzy; I suck.” Pipp sighed.

Raising a brow, Zipp leaned in. “I thought you said that you sucked?”

“Okay, but she agreed that I suck!” Pipp pointed a hoof.

A laugh escaped Zipp as she shook her head. “Sis, no worries, we’ll get things straightened out with Hitch in no time.”

“How? He hates me…” Pipp reminded.

Zipp tapped her own forehead to signify her intentions. “Don’t worry, I have a plan. I just have to make a call to Sunny and we should be able to sort this all out, all you have to do is show up.”

“Show up to what?” Pipp blinked.

Hitch looked down at a note in his hoof. It had been scribbled down by his longtime childhood friend, Sunny Starscout. Despite being somewhat studious, her writing was still fairly subpar. Grammar and sentence structure was alright, but in terms of readability, it wasn’t always the best. It had taken him an additional ten minutes just to decipher the messy letter.

Hitch,

Meet us at the cafe in town after hours around 10 PM. We have a special surprise for you in celebration of your success. Don’t be late, or I’ll tell everyone you used to sleep with a pacifier until age 8.

Sunny

The stallion knew better than to test Sunny, so he made sure to show up a good ten minutes early. He had spent too long trying to build up his image as a strong upholder of the law to have it undermined by Sunny’s portrayal of him as some kind of big baby.

Hitch tapped on the door to the cafe curiously, but there was no answer. He knocked a second time to find that once again no one responded. With caution, he turned the knob to find that the place had been left unlocked.

Carefully, he trotted inside, shutting the door behind himself. Within seconds, an overhead light shined down to the center of the cafe. All of the tables and chairs had been moved aside, leaving only a set of two stools next to what appeared to be a karaoke machine, and right beside it was Pipp Petals seated in one of the chairs with a microphone in hoof.

Above them looking in through a ceiling window was Izzy whose magic had created the light for the two. Sunny standing at her side guided her. “Just hold it there.”

Zipp peered down at the scene and a smile grew on her face. She had done all she could, the rest was in Pipp’s hooves.

Hitch blinked as he approached. “What’s all this?”

Pipp’s face turned red as he came closer, she could smell his body spray. He smells so good.

“I wanted to celebrate with the new Marshall if that’s alright?” Pipp smiled sheepishly.

Hitch glanced over the entire scene and then looked back at her. “Even though you missed the celebration earlier?”

“I wanted to make it up to you… I really like you, and the thought of you being mad at me…” Pipp paused, unable to finish her sentence but to her good fortune, she wouldn’t have to.

Hitch trotted forward and sat down on the stool next to her and picked up a microphone. “Apology accepted… I really like you too.” He winked.

“You have no idea how long I’ve wanted to say that for, like seriously, forever and-“ Pipp got cut off when the stallion leaned over and planted a kiss upon her lips.

She could feel herself melting before he pulled away slowly. His tone was husky and quiet. “Just shut up and sing.” He smiled.

SRAM AXS Groupset launch on Dartmoor

I’m not gloating when I say ‘I get to do a lot of cool stuff.’ I just really appreciate getting to ride my bike in attractive places, enjoy meeting friendly, fun, creative people and get excited about new kit. So I’m never not gonna think my job is  cool.

    At the tail end of last year I got a call that was pretty damn special by any standards. Along with a small crew of European riders – Marty Merrit, Yewie Adesida and Charles Nicholson (whom I know from racing fixed gear crits) I was selected to try out an incredibly super secret new SRAM product. Back then I was sworn to secrecy, the penalty for revealing even the smallest detail pretty much death. I can now tell you that it was SRAM’s new, innovative groupset, eTap AXS.

       As the project absolutely had to remain under wraps until its February launch date, it was handy that Dartmoor, where we were shooting, was enjoying its usual mix of extreme weather – thick dark clouds one minute, rain the next and all of it interspersed with golden shafts of sunlight. Hidden in the landscape’s myriad pleats and folds we were able to ride our AXS equipped bikes on the open roads without fear of seeing anyone. Though the magical landscape is actually very accessible from neighbouring Exeter, it’s four-seasons-in-a-day climate and numerous tiny lanes are perfect for hiding in full view.

    Along with the nearby coast, Dartmoor is one of the very reasons I live here in Devon. One of our crew, Kate, must have seen some incredible places through her role at SRAM and I found myself wondering what she thought of the area. Showing her around and seeing her excitement at the wild horses and cattle roaming the wild, windswept landscape I couldn’t help but feel proud of the beautiful National Park that I have the privilege of riding whenever I like.

We also visited a few of the local pubs including one of my absolute favourites, the Rugglestone Inn in Widecombe and one that’s new to me, the Ring of Bells in North Bovey. Both serve such good food that even those indoctrinated to believing British food sucks had their opinions reversed. We made sure that (once we had finished working) everyone got the try Doom Bar and Jail Ale, two of the best West Country brews, just so they got the full experience.

We didn’t have time for a cream tea but I’d have directed them to Home Farm just down from Haytor if we had – it’s one of the best places to stop for coffee and cake on a bike ride. Cafe 360 should get a mention here too for its amazing vegan cakes (try the peanut and banana one) and ample indoor bike parking (!) but I don’t think it has the correct ambience for a cream tea. But I digress.

    It’s all too easy to get complacent about the places we get to ride all the time. I’d miss every bit of my existence were it taken away and do make a habit of reminding myself that. I love Dartmoor, the English seaside and fish n’ chips. Still, I’m guilty of getting bored of training rides on the same old routes (even though I do try not to be a grump) so showing visitors around is a really nice to be prodded back into appreciating your own everyday.

  As I write this, I’m actually waiting in for delivery of my very own SRAM eTap AXS groupset and a new set of Zipp 303 wheels to go with it (you need an XT Driver with the new groupset). I can’t wait to kit out my custom Wyndymilla Saw Doctor with its new bling. Stay tuned for a video in Friday about the groupset, wheels and build.
