Hello once again! It has been a couple of days since my last up date, and this is how it will go, about four days an update, I want to start spacing these out, but will write longer ones. It's easier on me, and I have time to write other stories. I will be taking requests for diffrent stories. I will take Clop fic requests, or parings in a larger story. Be it characters from the show, or even OC I can make up or be given to use. This is all depending, anyways thanks for reading!

I opened my eyes, a dull pain in my body. I looked over at Twilight, she was sleeping peacefully, snuggled into my arm. Her horn was wrapped up a bit near the top. At least she is safe. I flipped over, despite the pain, and draped my arm over her. She sighed and smiled, opening her eyes and looking at me. "Good morning, how do you feel?" I smiled down at her, the pain almost unbearable.

"Well, to be honest, I am in serious pain right now. But are you ok?" She gasped, a worried look coming over her face.

"I'm fine, but you, here let me help you, there is pain medication the doctor gave me." She leaned over and grabbed a pill bottle, she came back and dropped it into my hand. "Take these." I nodded and took two out. I put them in my mouth and swallowed, they went down easy and I soon felt the effects start. These pony medication are really effective. Soon I felt nothing at all. I got out of bed, and felt... really bare. Twilight giggled and I looked down, I was stark naked.

"What the hell Twi?" I blushed and grabbed a pair of boxers. She gulped and blushed herself.

"Well, you bled a lot, and it soaked right through your clothes, so I took them off and washed them. Sorry, I should of told you." She blushed as I put a pair on. "You know, it doesn't affect me, we ponies don't wear clothes." She said, trying to help my embarrassment.

I got closer to her and looked at her in the eyes, raising my eyebrow. "Then why are you blushing?" She eeped and looked away, I smiled and looked into the mirror, spinning around to show where I had been impaled. It looked great, no scar at all. Twilight got up and walked towards the kitchen, I got dressed, and strapped my knife to me. I might as well get something a bit bigger. Like a short sword. I walked towards the kitchen "Hey Twi, do you know where I can get, umm well weapons? I want something a little bigger then my knife for when I go into the Everfree forest, I don't trust it there anymore." She looked back and smiled.

"Well, my brother is captain of the royal guard in Canterlot, he can surely pull some strings and get you somthing." My jaw hit the floor.

"You have a brother?! And you never told me yet?" She eeped and looked away.

"Uhh oops?" She turned back to what she was doing. I heard a knock on the door. I walked over and opened it, standing there was Apple Bloom.

"Hey Marshall, have you seen my sister? I can't find her anywheres." I bent down, and thought about it. I looked up and couldn't see Rainbow laying anywhere either. What is going on? I saw Sweetie Belle come around the building talking to Scootaloo.

"I can't find Rarity anywhere." They walked up.

"And I haven't seen Rainbow Dash either." Scootaloo noticed Apple Bloom.

"Hey girls, can't find Rarity, or Rainbow Dash, what is going on?" Clanging noises in the back ground, presumably from Twilight making breakfast. I motioned for the three fillies to come in and I walked over to Twilight. "Hey Twi, the Cutie Mark Crusaders can't find Applejack, Rarity, or Rainbow."

"Don't worry Marshall, I'm sure that all of our friends will show up." She turned back, using her magic to make our breakfast... Hold on. I drew my knife and pinned Twilight to the counter. "Hey, whats the big idea Marshall?" I looked down at her.

"The most important conjurer in the pre classical era." She raised her eyebrow and looked at me like I was crazy.

"Marshall, what has gotten into you, it's me, Twilight!" I threw her at the wall, the three fillies gasping.

"What are you doin to her Marshall?" Apple Bloom approached me, ready for a fight.

"It's not Twilight, it's a changeling." I readied my knife, and the imposter got up. I grabbed it by the neck. "Where are my friends, what have you done to them?" It gasped as I brought my knife down hand and impaled it into the wall. "Where are they?!" It gasped and struggled, before spilling the beans.

"Deep in the Everfree forest." It tried to fight against me, to break free, but I pushed it to the wall. It tried to take a swipe at me and I smashed it to the ground, knocking it out. After a couple of seconds, it changed back into its original form.

"There, now what to do with this thing." I looked over at Apple Bloom and she walked over with a rope in her mouth. "Ah, thanks." I hog tied the changeling, making sure it couldn't move. "Scootaloo, can you find Spike? Take a gem with you, just in case." I looked at her, her eyebrow was raised. "He is a dragon, he can eat gems, I don't think anything else can." She nodded before heading towards the door. "Wait, you need a word, all of you do." I looked at the three fillies. "Cutie, mark, crusaders!" I pointed to Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom, and Scootaloo respectively. "Those will be your words, in case they have changed into more people. Be safe Scoots." She nodded before taking off running.

"Uhh, Marshall, what is a changeling?" Sweetie Belle looked at it and then at me. I picked it up and brought it to a closet, putting it in and barred the door shut.

"A changeling is some creature that can change into other ponies it sees. So it can be very dangerous, you can't tell the difference from looking at them. But they can't take memories from copying." Her and Apple Bloom stood by and I paced, waiting for Scootaloo to come back safe and soundly. After a couple of minutes, I saw the door open, Spike and Scootaloo walking in, it was raining hard and they were soaked. I put my hand on my knife handle just in case. "Scootaloo, whats the password?"

She stopped and looked at me, smiling. "Crusaders!" I smiled and bent down, the filly running to me and I hugged her. "See, told ya." She giggled a little. Spike walked up behind her, munching on the gem I gave Scoots.

"Good Spike it's you, listen, changelings have taken our friends, and I need you to send a letter to princess Celestia, ready?" He nodded and dashed off, coming back with a quill and parchment in hand. "Dear Princess Celestia, it is I, Marshall. I need to speak with you, this is an emergency, I can't say anything by letter, in case something happened to you. But please meet me in the library ASAP. Marshall. Alright Spike, send it!" He finished writing and wrapped it up, walking over to the window and blowing fire on it, making it turn into a green smoke that was sent towards Canterlot.

Spike looked at me nervously. "What do we do now?" I looked at him and sighed.

"We wait, that's all we can do." We all sat around the sitting area and waited. Not to long after, I heard a window open and hoof steps from upstairs, I drew my knife and looked. Princess Celestia was there! She was walking down the stairs and I sheathed my blade and ran to her. "Celestia, thank goodness you are here." I looked behind her and there was princess Luna, and another white unicorn behind her. "Princess Luna!" She ran up to me and hugged me, I held her, for once feeling safe. I looked at the white unicorn, and another alicorn behind him. "Who are they?" I let go of Luna and the unicorn walked up to me, he had a small blade attached to his flank. He was white with blue hair kind of like Vinyl, his cerulean eyes matched his hair. His cutie mark was a purple shield, with a pink star in the middle, and three blue stars above it.

"I am Shining Armor." He stuck his hoof out, like I was supposed to know him. I shook his hoof and raised my eyebrow. "She never told you about me huh? I am Twilight's brother." I gasped. "And this is my wife, Princess Cadance." She was a sight to behold. Her light pink coat, to her purplish eyes. Her curly violet and rose hair had gold streaks in it. Her cutie mark was a blue heart.

"Pleased to meet you Shining, and too you princess Cadance" I kneeled down, gently taking a hold of her hoof, placing a small kiss on it, she blushed and Shining laughed.

"I don't have any ruling powers, but thank you." She said sheepishly. Shining looked at me as I stood up.

"Twi was right, you really are a gentleman." I raised my eyebrow. "I will explain later. We have business to attend to." I nodded and he floated his sword he had on to me. "Take this, it's much better then a little knife." I nodded and took it. It looked to be a normal sword to them, but for me it was a perfect short sword, about 6 inches long. I strapped it to me and looked at Celestia.

"Changelings have taken my friends into the Everfree forest. I'm going after them, alone." Everypony gasped. "It's the safest way, besides, I can't have some fillies or princess following me into the forest." I walked to the kitchen, no pony saying a word, I opened the fridge and pulled out a couple of sandwich and two, one litre bottles of water. I put on a black and grey sweater, never going to know if I will need this later. "I'm going to need these later." I walked over to Twilight's saddlebags and strapped them to my hips, I put my food and drink it it, then got disinfectant and a roll of bandages, just in case. I walked towards the door and felt a hoof on my shoulder, shaking. I teared up, I might never see anypony again. "I have to do this, it's me she wants to tangle with." I closed my eyes and turned around. I opened them and saw Luna, tears running down her face.

"Be safe, come back, promise me this..." I nodded and hugged her. I heard the door open, and in stepped Octavia, she was soaking wet. I glared at her and she ran towards me.

"Marshall I heard what happened, please do-" She was cut off as I raised my hand up.

"Changelings took my friends and I don't know if you are one." I felt my eyes tear up at denying my possible friend a chance to say goodbye.

"Marshall, it's me..." She was crying and looked at me. "Tavi..." I saw Cadance's horn glow, and she took a step forward, I looked back, everyponies eyes tearing up a bit. Cadance looked at me.

"Marshall... its her..." I looked back to Octavia, I bent down and grabbed her as hard as I could. We sat there hugging one another, for a good five minutes. I heard sniffles coming from behind me. I felt three sets of small hoofs wrapped my back, with two pairs of bigger ones draped over my shoulders. Then I looked up and saw Cadance hug Tavi from her back, Shining standing by, trying to keep his tears back.

"This might be the last time you see me alive... I have to save my friends, or die trying." They all let go and walked to the sitting area, except for Tavi.

"Marshall, please don't go..." I looked at her, she pulled back and looked up at me. "I love you, I don't want to lose you..." She moved her face to mine and our lips touched. She moaned and leaned into it, the first and possibly last time she had the chance to kiss me. I didn't want it to end, I heard a couple of "awws" and Scootaloo saying "gross" behind me, but paid no attention to them. After a minute or so, I broke the kiss, she was blushing, and she had stopped crying.

"I have to Tavi, but I will come back, with my friends, I promise." I hugged her, and got up. Not looking back, I opened the door, sword at my side, and flashlight strapped to my head like a head band, I walked towards the Everfree forest. The rain let up a bit, just a drizzle now, I looked around for anypony, but couldn't see one pony. Good, no pony should be out here in this weather. Now to save my friends. I walked into the forest, my hand on my sword hilt, just in case something jumped at me. I turned my flashlight on, the light going into the darkness, seeing nothing, I looked at the ground. I saw a chunk of, rainbow hair? They defiantly went this way. I saw some hoof marks, it looked like someponys hoofs got dragged the way I was walking. I looked around, and decided to stop at Zecora's place. I soon arrived and knocked at her door.

"There is a knocking at my door, perhaps I should of swept the floor." I heard her say inside. She opened the door and looked at me. "Ah Marshall... something is wrong, why else is your frown so long." She motioned me to come in, looking at my gear and raising her eyebrows before offering me a drink. "Here take this cup, and then you can tell me why you are all geared up." I took it and downed it with one gulp, and I felt great. Must of been a energy boost or something.

"Well, changelings have kidnapped my friends, all of them. Twilight, Applejack, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Pinkie Pie. Gone, and I know they want me." Zecora gasped and started to pace. "I'm going in alone to find them." Zecora thought about it for a moment before she sighed and nodded.

"Do what you need to do, because I know there is no stopping you. But take this to be your best, it may help you on your quest." She gave me a little bottle of liquid. "When you feel weak, this concoction will give you enough energy for about a week. The changelings have gone to far, and I'm sure they have raised the bar. This will not be an easy task, but there is one thing of you, that I ask. Come back again, alive and well, and I would like to hear the story that you could tell. Bring back your friends in one piece, and this of you, I ask the least." Her rhyming made me feel relaxed, and allowed me to think better, taking in what she said.

I put it into the bags I had, I kneeled down and hugged her, kissing her on the cheek. "Thank you Zecora, I promise, you will be the first stop on my way back." She blushed before waving goodbye. I got up and left, with my mind swimming in thought. I wonder what Chrysalis has in store for me. I continued walking into the forest, I was a little scared, but I had to do this, for my friends. I heard a noise, and I drew my sword, I turned my flashlight to the side, setting out a horizontal line of light in front of me, and I was greeted with a timberwolf. I readied my sword and it lunged at me, I blocked and swung the sword across its face, the jaw came off and I brought it up and then down on it, breaking it to pieces. I looked around and there were a couple of more, I swung my sword, knocking the head off of one lunging at me, the third caught me off guard, jumping on my back. I rotated my body, chucking it off me, it landed on its side and I brought my sword over my head, bringing it down. It busted to pieces, I glanced around and sheathed my sword, taking a small breath. Good thing that is done, lets move on. I kept on walking, turning my flashlight back to normal, being able to see out a bit further. I walked for about a half hour before I decided to take a break, and eat. I sat down under a tree, just off the path, hidden from view. I took out my sandwich, and was about to take a bite. I stopped and looked at it. Twilight made this, goddamn I miss her, I miss all of them. I lost my appetite, and took a drink of water, drenching my dry throat. I heard hoof steps and I switched my light off and listened. I saw two changelings flying low, looking around, most likely for me. I watched them as they flew deeper into the forest. I heard a twig break behind me, I spun around and crept forward, and there was an opening. I peeked out and I saw, Rainbow Dash? She looked around and our eyes met, I stepped out and drew my sword. She was scratched up, bruised and cut, and panting a bit.

"Marshall...is that you? I escaped from them, we need to save the others!" She moved towards me but she stopped, but I couldn't tell if it was her or not, and neither could she.

"Don't move... Prove me you are Rainbow Dash." She looked at me, her magenta eyes, starting to water, she shook her head and looked my straight in the eyes.

"Boom..." My eyes went wide at her and remembered, that was her safety word. I sheathed my sword and I approached her. She put her hoof up. "Now prove you are Marshall..." I thought about it, and looked at her, stepping closer. "Stay back..." I stuck my tongue out, running my barbell against my upper lip. She gasped, she jumped at me, hugging me. "Marshall, its you! It's horrible what they did, they locked us all in cages, I managed to break through mine and escape, we have to get the princess and..." I stopped her.

"They are back at the library, we can't take the risk of taking them into here. We have to rescue the other girls and get them out of there, I will take care of Chrysalis." I held her in my arms as we sat there. "Come on, lets get you patched up, and get the rest of the girls out." I let go of her, opening the saddlebag, pulling out disinfectant and bandages. I pulled out a bottle of water. "Here, take a drink, try and save some for the rest." She nodded as I undid the top and put it to her lips. She drank, and I could tell she needed it, I pulled it away and she savoured the last of it she had.

"Thanks, I really needed that." I moved on to putting the disinfectant into her wounds and wrapped them up a bit. "Alrighty, that looks good, lets go." She stood up, and headed off to our right, we creeped through the brush, making sure to stay out of sight. "Keep quiet, they are all in different rooms, try and take out the guards silently, I will keep them off of you while you break them out." I nodded and we came upon some ruins, a couple of changeling's standing guard. "Alright I will knock out the furthest one, you get the closest one, ok?" I nodded and she dashed out, kicking the furthest guard in the head, I ran out behind her, and knocked the other ones head into the wall, it slumped to the floor.

"Alright, follow my lead." I said to RD as she followed me into the ruins. The hallway was empty, torches were lit on the walls, and I looked into the first room. Locked up in a cage was Pinkie, all by herself. "Watch my back." I crept up and looked at Pinkie, her hair wasn't poofy, it was flat, and she wasn't smiling. I stepped into the light and she gasped before her eyes lit up. I put my finger to my lips and she struggled to hold in her excitement. "I'm here to get you girls out." I pulled out my knife and stuck it into the lock, breaking the innards and releasing it. She jumped out into my arms and grabbed me with all she had. I reached into my pouch and got the half gone bottle of water. "Here, take a quick drink." I held her in my arm, putting the bottle to her mouth and she drank half of what was left.

"Thank you Marshall, I knew you would come, these big meanies came in the early hours and put me in a sack, and they didn't want to have a potato sack race." She was mad, her hair becoming poofy again, returning to the Pinkie I know and love.

"I'm just glad you are safe, now, lets get the rest out." She nodded and I walked towards the doorway, Pinkie and Rainbow following me. We slipped into the hallway, and I peered into the next room. Fluttershy was in a cage, crying as a changeling stood over her. I snapped. "Stay here." I sneaked up behind it, and grabbed its head, plunging my knife into it's chest, I held it there as it's struggles got weakened before it vaporized. "Fluttershy, its ok, I'm here to get you out." She had a whip cut in her side. I broke the lock open and pulled her out. I grabbed the disinfectant and bandages and quickly wrapped her up.

"Th...thanks, I am so glad to see you..." I looked at her and pulled out a bottle, giving her the rest of the first one. She drank it down, savouring it like a fine wine, not leaving a single drop as her tongue seeked out more from within. "Thank you." She looked tired. And we walked back towards the hallway, we were clearing these with no fights at all. We arrived at the next room and Rarity was laying in her cage, I got the girls to stand by as I got her out. She looked at me and smiled, before joining the group, taking her share of the water. We soon made it to the last room, and I could hear banging. I peeked inside and saw about five changelings, Applejacks cage was dented as she tried to buck her way out.

"Let me out!" She kicked as hard as she could, but to no avail. She sat there, giving up, her chest heaving to get oxygen, and tears going down her face. I walked up behind one of them, me and Rainbow got to work. She bucked the first one in the head, and I slashed another, both of them vaporizing. I swung my sword, cutting another in half, and turned around. Seeing Rainbow take another one down and was tackled by, Rainbow? They struggled around, and both got to their hoofs, before going at it again. Which one? I can't tell the difference. They fought, and one looked to over power the other, until I saw blood, running from the bottoms nose. I swung my sword and cut the top one in half, and it vaporized.

"Thanks Marshall, I thought it had me there." I hoof bumped her and turned back to Applejack, who was already being let out by the others, I pulled out the bottle, giving her water she really needed.

"Now lets get Twilight and I will take care of their queen." The girls nodded and we sprinted to the main chamber. As soon as we ran in, we stopped. The room was gigantic, pillars running up the sides, some still standing, and some were cracked and some had fallen. I looked around, and saw Twilight, laying in the middle of the room. I ran up to her, the girls on my heels. Just as I was about to touch her, I got flung about three feet back, the girls landing a couple more feet behind me. I looked up and saw Twilight stand up, and transform, into Queen Chrysalis. Damn, she got me there. I stood up and looked for Twilight, Chrysalis's laughter ringing through the room.

"You silly human, did you really think it would be that easy?" Well, I hope it would of been... I stood up, drawing my sword "Your love for your friends has fed us, but now that you know our plan, you must be destroyed." She narrowed her eyes at me and her horn glowed, it shot out a green electrical spark, I moved out of the way, not wanting to find out what would happen if it hit me. I saw another blast coming towards me, I reflected it with my sword and it struck a wall. The wall crumbled, and inside was Twilight! She was laying motionless on her side, locked up. She didn't look dead, so I concentrated on the battle.

"Girls, get out of here, I will take care of her, then bring Twilight back." I ran up to her, dodging her attacks and taking a swing at her. She moved out of the way, grunting and kicking me in she side, she charged up for another attack. I put my hand on the ground and spun around, kicking her legs out from beneath her. She fell and I got back to my feet, slashing my sword down at her, she blasted me, sending me back a couple of feet back. I did a back roll, and skidded to a halt on my feet. I charged back at her, catching her off guard, I took a slash at her, barley catching her side, the cut turned crimson as her blood seeped out. I guess she can bleed.

"Ahh, damn you!" She charged up another blast and shot it at me. I dodged left, a bright light coming from the blast allowed me to run up to her side, and hop on her, grabbing her horn. "Get off me! Let go!" She charged up another on, and it ran through my body, it wasn't that powerful but it still hurt. I squeezed as hard at I could and she cried out in pain. I sheathed my sword, grabbing her horn with both hands, she tried to buck me off but she couldn't shake me. Her horn stopped glowing and she collapsed, I didn't let go, holding as hard as I could, I got off her and saw she was, crying? "Please let go, it hurts so much, I will leave you alone forever, please... it hurts." Curse my sympathy. I sighed and let go of her horn.

I looked at her side, and suddenly felt guilty, I pulled out the medical supplies I had on me and got to work. Getting it cleaned out. "Stand up." She didn't say anything as I wrapped it up. She laid back down, once I was done. "There, now, if you ever try this again, I won't be so easy on you." She gulped and nodded. "Now leave me and my friends alone." I walked over towards Twilight's cage, I stomped the lock, shattering it, and pulled Twilight out. I draped her over my shoulders and started to leave. I walked past Chrysalis, and out into the hallway, continuing out into the forest. The rain, coming down hard, lightning streaking across the sky. Twilight was heavy, and I was exhausted. I remembered the bottle Zecora gave me, I set Twi down gently, taking out the bottle. I was about to gulp down the whole thing, then looked at Twi. I looked at the bottle, and took half of it, and gave the rest to Twi. She stirred a bit, looking up at me.

"Ma...Marshall..." I put my finger to her lip, silencing her. She inhaled deeply and coughed. I took out another bottle of water, and put it to her lips.

"Here, drink. Don't speak." She drank down about half of it before she was done. I drank the other half and returned the empty bottle to the bag. "I will explain everything once we get back, but for now rest, save your energy." She looked drained, but after seeing me, her face lit up, and the strength potion help a lot too. I picked her up again, and set off for Zecora's. I trecked through the forest with Twi on my back, my head held high, and I couldn't wait for life to go back to normal. I soon felt a pain in my side, I felt along my ribs, and I felt a couple of them broken. Shit, this is bad. Panic set in, hoping it would not puncture anything important, the pain almost overwhelming. I set Twilight down to take a little break. I looked at her, I pulled out a sandwich she made and started to feed her little bites I ripped off. She ate slowly, but was really hungry, I don't think she ate at all today. We ate the two sandwiches, and I felt a little better, and she looked better. I removed my sweater and put it on her, it actuality fit her good enough to keep her warm. Something in her tummy, and clothes on her back, I got up again, feeling better that I knew she was better off then before. I continued walking through the dark, the only light coming from my light on my head, it was a little foggy but I kept on walking. I only took a couple more minutes to get to Zecoras, I knocked on her door and opened it up. "Zecora? You here?"

"Yes I am here, for your safety I feared. I am glad you are well, your story, would you tell?" I set down Twi, and looked at Zecora.

"Sorry, I will tell you the story later, I have to get Twilight home. I also think I broke a couple of ribs." I put my hand to my side, she frowned and walked to her potions. She picked up a small one and walked back over to me.

"This potion will heal your wounds, it will kick in, when your walk has resumed." I downed it in one gulp, hugging Zecora and picking up Twilight. I opened the door and waved goodbye, heading back to Ponyville. I made it to the edge, my stamina, almost running out. I walked down into the edge of the town, and I fell to my knees, I couldn't go on, I was past exhausted. I crawled on my knees for a meter or so, before collapsing the rest of they way. I laid there, in the road, Twilight on my back. I have to get her back, I have to, but I can't go any further. I teared up a bit, and tried to crawl, but to no avail, I couldn't move anymore. I looked up, my vision darkening as I was passing out, I saw a couple of blurs heading my way.

"He is over here girls!" I heard a voice say, the pink blur coming closer and I passed out. "He is still breathing! Come on lets get him back to the library."

When I awoke, my vision returned to normal, I looked over in my bed, and laying there was Twilight. "Marshall, you're awake!" I turned and saw Octavia! She looked tired herself, she was sitting next to me. I moved my arm to her and caressed her face.

"Hey Tavi, you look tired." She yawned and nodded. I lifted the blanket off me and motioned for her to climb on me. She didn't argue and climbed in, nuzzling into my neck. I pet her mane, and she sighed, nipping me a bit. "I told you I would make it back safe and sound." I hugged her, kissing her on the forehead. "I missed you." She giggled and licked my neck. "So, was it true what you said? Before I left." She eeped, nodding slowly.

"Your a pretty cool, calm, heroic, and sweet guy Marshall" I caressed her back, pushing my knuckles into her. She sighed and nuzzled into me. "That's nice." I chuckled and laid there. I looked over at Twilight, she looked a whole lot better. "Don't worry, she will be fine. The princesses made sure, they also request you send them a letter to them as soon as you can, they want to speak to you." I looked at her and raised my eyebrow. "Don't ask me, they wouldn't say why." She sighed "You are nice to lay on." She blushed, she looked really cute, her grey coat and black hair contrasting her red cheeks. She was adorable. Her light purple eyes, glistened as she looked into mine. She wasn't wearing her usual neck tie, I looked around and saw it laying on my dresser, right next to the sword laying there.

"So I've heard." I looked down at her, she was looking back up at me. I blushed, her eyes half lidded, smiling a bit. I snuck the ball on the top of my barbell just past my lips, she noticed it and narrowed her eyes. I stuck my tongue out and gave her the full view of my piercing. She stared at it, gasping, then licking her lips a bit before blushing.

"Oh wow, that's cool..." She trailed off. "Would you mind if I..." I smiled. Gets em every time. I leaned down and she closed her eyes, her cheeks red. I felt her glossy lips touch mine, and it was like time stopped. She took the lead, moving her lips against mine, I brought my hand to her face and twisted my neck, brushing my tongue around her lips. She opened up, and her tongue came out and rubbed against mine, they tangled, a tingling sensation running down my spine. She moved her tongue over the ball on the top of my barbell, playing with it. I pulled back and looked at her, we looked at each other for about five seconds before she smiled and brought her face back to mine. I wrapped my hand to the back of her head, cradling her head with my hand, the other rubbing her side. We were in our own little world, not noticing that Twilight woke up and giggled.

"Hey love birds." We stopped and looked at each other, both of us blushing. I pulled back up and looked at Twi. She was smiling. "Good to see you are ok. Care to fill me in what happened?" I nodded and let Tavi slide out of the bed.

"I will make breakfast." She walked out the door, not looking back. I could tell the was super embarrassed.

"Alrighty, well it all began after you were taken the other morning..." I finished the story after about ten minutes, telling her all the details. She was impressed, saddened, and relived. "And then I passed out in the road, but Pinkie Pie found us. I'm just glad you girls are safe, what did she do to you?"

Twilight shuddered. "She cast some sort of spell on me, and I felt empty. She drained the love I had for my friends. I curled up, feeling alone and scared. It was horrible." She started to shudder as memories flooded back to her. I wrapped my arms around her, holding her close, letting her know I was here for her. She nuzzled into me as hard as she could. "Thanks for being here Marshall." I stroked her mane and breathed deeply. "You are so relaxing, you know that?" I let got of her, and she looked up at me.

"Let me get dressed, ok?" She nodded as I put some clothes on, a comfy pair of jeans and a bigger blue v neck t shirt. I picked her up and walked towards the door, as I was about to open the door, Tavi opened it a jumped a bit.

"Breakfast is ready guys." She looked up at Twilight, and looked sad. "Is she ok?" I nodded and walked down the stairs. I looked around for a pillow to set her on, and I laid her down on one near the table. I sat next to her.

"I can feed myself..." She remembered her horn and looked up at me. "Oh yea, I forgot about my horn, thanks for taking care of me." I smiled and she looked at her plate. She pointed out what she wanted next, and I feed her. "Mmm, this is delicious Octavia." I nodded in agreement and Tavi blushed.

"Why thank you Twilight, you need the best. Besides, I had a little help from Spike." She smiled, Twilight returning it. I picked up her glass, tipping it to her muzzle. She drank the whole thing in one go. I looked around for Spike, he was putting books back.

"Hey Spike, could you get me paper so I can write a letter to the princess? She asked me to send her one when I awoke." He looked back and nodded, running off and returning a couple of seconds later, with paper and quill in hand. He gave it to me and I started to write.

Dear Princess Celestia,

Marshall here, you said you have requested a letter from me when I awoke, I have heard you wanted to speak to me, just send the letter to Spike and he will get word to me. Marshall.

"Alright Spike, send it." He took the letter and ran over to the window, opening it up and blew fire on it, sending it to Canterlot. I turned back and ate the rest of my food, and feeding Twilight the rest of hers. I brought all the dishes to the sink, setting them in and stretching. As I turned around, I heard a knock at the door and in hopped Pinkie Pie. "Hey Pinkie." She gasped and jumped at me, I caught her in mid air.

"Marshall you're ok! When we found you, you didn't look ok, but I see you are ok now, do you feel ok? You had Twilight on your back and you were laying in the street, you looked tired and you tried to take a nap, but that's what beds are for, not the ground silly, what were you doing? You looked cold, but Twilight had your sweater on so she didn't look cold so I brought you here so you would not be cold. But I did have some help, do you wanna know who helped me? Everypony! Rarity, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and me Pinkie Pie!" Her mouth running a mile a minute and she giggled. "We all helped you to get back here out of the rain, are you glad we did? Huh? I am, so now you are here, and not out there, and I'm here, so we can be here together!" She looked up at me and smiled.

I chuckled. "Slow down Pinkie, I'm good now, thanks." Her smile got larger. Is that even possible? I hugged her close and she giggled as she hugged me back. "I glad you are ok Pinkie." She nuzzled into me and giggled. I heard Spike burp in the background and I looked at him, there was a letter from the princess in his hand. "Thanks Spike, also, can you help Twilight when I'm not around? I will be sure to reward you with some nice, delicious gems." His eyes lit up and he nodded, giving me a little salute.

"No problem Marshall" He walked off, grabbing a broom and started to sweep. I opened the letter and read it.

Dear Marshall,

I am pleased to hear you are ok, I have made you protector of Ponyville as you have put your life on the line to save the inhabitants more then once. I will request your presence at a later date, but for now you may relax. Princess Celestia. P.S. This is Luna, I also send my deepest gratitude to you for protecting our citizens. I shall be seeing you sooner then you think, Luna.

I noticed black lipstick near Luna's name and I blushed. "What does it say?" Twilight said and I froze. I turned around and scratched the back of my head.

"They sent their thanks for protecting Ponyville, and made me protector." Twilight, Octavia, and

Pinkie gasped, Spike dropped his broom and looked at me. I looked at them. "What?"

"She...made you protector of Ponyville?" Twilight was shocked, I nodded and she looked at the others, then back at me. "That is the highest honour that anypony can get!" I looked at the girls, then down and chuckled.

"Well, jeez. That's pretty cool. Well, I hope the word doesn't spread." Not two seconds of me saying that, Rainbow burst through the door.

"Marshall, I heard you are protector of Ponyville!" She put her hoofs to her cheeks. "That's so awesome!" I rolled my eyes and groaned. So much for not letting the word get out. She trotted up to me and flipped her hair out of her eye.

"Well I guess the word already got out. So much for that." The girls giggled and I pet Rainbows head. "So, how are you feeling?" She nuzzled into my hand and I scratched her ear, she was loving it.

"I am great, Zecora stopped by and gave us all a little boost potion." I got up and looked towards my room.

"Well, I think I'm going to relax, and play some music, if you girls need me, you know where to find me." I waved at the girls and headed towards my room, I walked in, picked up my guitar and laid back on my bed, one leg hanging off and one bent up a bit, my guitar resting on my leg. I put on More then a Feeling by Boston. A nice little warm up song for the morning. I was in my own little world and didn't notice Octavia knock on my door until she was right in front of me. I jumped a little and turned the song off. "Sorry Tav, whats up?" She picked up her neck tie.

"Well, I was just getting my neck tie, but I think I will stay a bit and listen to you, if you don't mind that is." I shook my head and motioned her to come up, she jumped onto the bed and laid in front of me. I continued playing, she closed her eyes, humming along a little as I played.

"That sound great." A voice said from my window, both me and Tav were startled and I looked over. Luna was climbing in the window. She smiled and looked at the both of us.

"Luna! What are you doing here?" I got up and hugged her with one arm.

"I wanted to say my thanks face to face, and my sister allowed me to leave and come here." She smiled, a little excited to see me.

"Well, I had better get going Marshall, I will see you later!" Tavi hugged me from behind and headed out my door. I turned back to Luna and she had a guilty look, thinking she had butted in on us.

"Oh don't worry, she had to leave, she was here all night long." Luna smiled and nodded. "Care to have a seat?" I sat back on my bed and she got up at the bottom.

"So, how are you feeling Marshall?" I smiled and just started messing around with my guitar, playing a little tune.

"I am feeling great, everything is back to normal right now, so relaxing." I sighed and she smiled and nodded.

"That's good to hear." She frowned and splayed her ears to her head. "I was so worried about you, I'm glad you came out unscathed." I felt a little tingling in my chest, I took off my guitar and motioned for her to come up next to me. She crawled up and laid her head on my chest. "You breathe so deeply..." I brought my hand to her head and she trailed off her sentence. She put her hoof over my stomach and nuzzled into me, I felt so relaxed, and her hoof rubbed my stomach, running over my abs. It felt kind of good, and I felt my blood rush to my privates, but it felt to good for me to stop her. "I think someone likes their stomach rubbed." She stopped and giggled, I brought my hand to her hoof and started rubbing it over my stomach again.

I brought my hand to her stomach and started rubbing it, I opened my eye enough to see her look at me and blush. "Yea, if feels good, doesn't it?" She nodded and we sat there, rubbing the other, bringing a small amount of pleasure to the other. "This is so relaxing." I smelled a light scent. "Is somepony aroused?" Luna nodded and sighed before moving her hoof lower. I followed in suit and brought my hand lower to right above her intimate area. We sat in silence, she sighed a little as I traced my finger around her vagina. She fiddled with my pants, trying to get them undone.

She used her magic to close my door and window, shutting the curtains, turning on the lamp so we could see. And she casted another spell, I raised my eyebrow. "So they can't hear us, or open the door. We won't be interrupted." She smiled slyly, and looked back down at the bulge in my pants.

I brought my free hand to my pants, undoing the button, her hoof running inside and nudging my cock out. She moved so she could use both hoofs, laying on her side facing me so I could toy with her sex as we started mutuality masturbating each other. She slowly jerked me off and I traced her nether lips, I pinched her clit and she moaned a little. I sunk one finger in her and she brought her mouth to my cock, licking the head. I moved my head down, and we kind of sixty-nined on our side. I teased her with my tongue, licking around her lips, flicking around her clit a little, she moaned and put the head of my cock inside her mouth. Then wrapped her tongue around it, taking it a little further. I stuck my tongue in her, wiggling it around, tasting her sweet honey, savouring the taste. I pinched her clit with my fingers, and sunk my tongue into her, she moaned out and took my cock all the way into her throat. I took out my tongue from her vagina, licking around it and flicking her clit, before trailing my tongue to her tail hole. She squirmed a bit as I licked her other hole, putting a finger to her cunny and thrusting it into her, feeling her velvety walls. I dipped my tongue into her tail hole, licking around. She moaned and started to suck my cock harder, going up and down, twisting a bit, and I shot a load of pre into her mouth. She licked the head, getting a good taste, before swirling her big fat tongue around my cock. I took my tongue out of her tail hole, and took my pussy juiced lubed finger and sunk it into it. I brought my mouth back to her cunny, driving it deep into her, the bottom of my piercing, rubbing against her clit. I felt my orgasm coming, I thrusted into her mouth a bit, and she in turn rubbed her sex to my mouth, I sunk my finger as deep as I could in her tail hold, and rubber her clit with my other hand, plunging my tongue deep into her. Her walls convulsed and I another shot of pre went up into her mouth. She moaned and pulled it out, jerking me off quickly. "Give me all you got Marshall, I want to taste you again." She plunged it back into her mouth and right into her throat, squeezing her muscles. I doubled my efforts on her, and felt her body start to convulse, her walls clamping to my tongue, she moaned, sending vibrations through my cock as I felt her juices squirt into my mouth. She moaned and squirmed as I opened my mouth, tickling her clit with my tongue and drinking her juices. They were delicious and I thrust my cock deep in her throat, feeling my cock twitch, I pulled back just inside her mouth, letting lose my seamen into her mouth. She licked it all around, tasting my seed, taking all I had into her mouth. She swallowed when her mouth was full, gulping it all down. We both pulled back, panting and satisfied. We looked at the other, and we both smiled. I picked her up and kissed her, tasting myself in her mouth, and her tasting her juices in mine. We kissed for a couple seconds before I pulled back.

"Well that was fun." She giggled and nodded, her horn starting to glow, and I felt the air change. She cleaned her juiced from my face and the window opened again, like nothing happened.

"Well, I had better get going now, I am needed back in Canterlot, but thanks." She kissed me on the cheek and flew out the window, heading towards Canterlot. I waved and looked out the window, and saw Fluttershy walking around, seemingly lost in thought. Whats on her mind? I hopped over the sill and hung down as low as I could before letting go and landing easily. I walked over to Fluttershy, easily gaining on her slow walk.

"Hey Fluttershy, something wrong?" She gasped and looked at me, her frown turning into a smile. I got down and hugged her.

"Mmm, hey Marshall. How are you feeling? I heard you are now the protector of Ponyville." She looked at me, her cyan eyes glittering.

"I'm doing great, and yea, the princesses sent me a letter this morning, they want to speak to me at a later date." I let go. "Where are you headed?" She pointed to a building.

"It's spa day, I'm meeting up with Rarity like always, you want to tag along?" I shrugged my shoulders.

"Alright, lets go." I followed her into the building, and two ponies came in front of us.

"I am Lotus!" She was a blue earth pony, she had pink hair, and her cutie mark was a pink lotus. She had a strong accent, eastern European perhaps.

"And I am Aloe!" This one was a pink earth pony, her hair was blue and her cutie mark was a blue lotus. They both had white head bands and neck ties. They looked at me questioningly. I bent down and looked at them both.

"My name is Marshall, pleased to meet two lovely girls." They blushed and Lotus gasped.

"So you are Marshall! Miss Rarity has spoke highly of you." Aloe nodded in agreement. "Speaking of which..." Lotus turned to Fluttershy. "She is waiting for you Fluttershy, Marshall may accompany you in." Fluttershy looked up at me and smiled. We headed in and saw Rarity, she had a mud mask on, and heard hoof steps. "Miss Rarity, Fluttershy is here."

She perked up. "Ah, how are you Fluttershy?" Fluttershy put on a robe and got up onto the table next to her.

"Oh, I'm doing well." She giggled. "I also brought a guest with me." Rarity turned her head to her side. I smiled and walked over to her, running my hand though her mane.

"Ooo, Marshall! How are you dear?" I sat between the both of them and pet both of their manes. Aloe just dabbed a bit of mud on Fluttershy's face, I frowned and looked at her. She looked back and blushed, before covering her face like Rarity. I looked back a picked up a pillow and moved Fluttershy, placing it under her.

"I am doing great Rarity." Aloe came back and placed the cucumbers on Fluttershy's eyes. She looked at me, and I nodded. She smiled and picked up a nail file, or hoof file. And started on Fluttershy's hoofs.

Fluttershy leaned towards me and whispered. "Thanks, I have never got the full treatment.."

Lotus came back in, and walked up to Rarity. "I am so sorry Miss Rarity, but our massagers are all out for the day." Rarity frowned a bit, before smiling.

"Oh no worries, Marshall dear? Would you be so kind as to give us our massages?" I looked at her, Lotus removed the mask and cucumbers, her pleading eyes looking at me.

"Well, why not, but you girls owe me lunch." Rarity nodded and shook a little with excitement. I got up and straddled her back hips. I started with her shoulders, pushing my fingers into her. I guess being a musician has other perks as well. My fingers are strong, and she was not as built, so it was easy to massage her. She laid her head down and closed her eyes, Lotus and Aloe coming closer to see what I was doing, taking mental notes. I pushed my thumbs into her shoulder blades and she sighed, I felt her loosen right up. I continued down her back, I saw Aloe looking at my fingers as the danced over her. After I was done I got off her, Aloe and Lotus clapping their hoofs.

"You did very well Marshall..." Aloe said and Lotus nodded along.

"Well, you ponies don't have fingers." I showed them up close, and wiggled them. "And now, the lovely Fluttershy, please remove her mask." Fluttershy eeped and the spa ponies removed the mask, her red cheeks now shown to the world. I got on her flank and started. Her shoulders loosened and I moved to her wings, stopping mere inches from them. "Could you give us some privacy please?" The other girls nodded and backed out, Rarity saying something about a seaweed wrap. "Anyways, shall we?" I looked back to Fluttershy, she leaned her face up to mine, I leaned down and kissed her.

I pulled back and ran my fingers through her wings, she chirped a little as I massaged them. They were soft, twitching a little bit as I ran my fingers over then, squeezing in just the right places. I moved from her wings to her back, her wings staying extended. Jeez, they must be sensitive. I ran my hands down her back, and onto her flanks, running over her cutie mark, I dug my fingers into her marks and she moans, shuddering. I noticed her scent coming from her. "Oops, sorry, I had no clue cutie marks were sensitive." She looked back, a look of pleasure on her face.

"Neither did I..." She blushed hard and laid her head down. Her tail swished, she was aroused, but not satisfied.

"Did you... You know?" She shook her head, putting it between her hoofs. I chuckled and bent down and moved her tail out of the way, licking her clit quickly. She stiffened and shuddered, she must of been close because only after about twenty seconds, she came, her honey running out and I quickly licked it up. She tasted wonderful, and I brought my head up, her scent filling the room. I looked around for an aroma spray, and sprayed it into the air, covering up what we did. I walked up to her and bent down, she smiled at me.

"Thanks, I needed that, I owe you one." She giggled and put her hoof to the back of my head and pulled me to her lips. We kissed and we opened out mouths, our tongues rubbing against the others, struggling for dominance. Hers, bigger then mine, but mine is stronger. After fifteen seconds I broke it, and helped her up off the table. I carried her to the hot tub which Rarity was already in, and lowered her in. Rarity raised her eyebrow.

"Got a little carried away with the massage." Rarity giggled. I sat by, and they relaxed in the tub. I felt my stomach growl and the two girls giggled.

"Hungry Marshall? I guess it is time to go anyways, I am pretty hungry myself." Fluttershy's stomach growled just as Rarity finished speaking, we all laughed a little and the girls got out, drying themselves off. We waved goodbye to Lotus and Aloe and headed towards the cafe. We sat down, and ordered our food. We all got a huge garden salad, enough to fill all of us. "Mmm, delicious." Rarity dabbed a small cloth to her mouth, me and Fluttershy giggling a bit. Just as we were about to leave, Twilight walked up, with Spike on her back.

"Hey girls, hi Marshall, I have a letter from the princess. They want to see Marshall tomorrow, and we can attend his official dubbing." The girls gasped, looking at each other. "They will be sending two carriages tomorrow at noon, and Marshall, you can bring one other guest, as you will be travelling alone. Vinyl will be preforming the music at the after party, and you can join in if you feel like it." I thought about it, before I knew who I was going to take.

"Thanks for passing on the news Twilight, I have somepony to meet." I waved goodbye and headed to Octavia's house. I approached the door, and knocked on it. She opened it up and turned her head a little. "Tomorrow the princesses are officially dubbing me, and I can take one extra guest." Her eyes lit up, the light purple sparkling. "And I would like you to go with me." She squealed and jumped up.

"Oh yes, I would love to!" She smiled and looked at me. "So I will see you tomorrow~" Her voice singing like, she closed the door almost all the way before opening it again and pulled my shirt and me down, putting her lips to mine. We both moaned and I broke the kiss. She closed her door and I walked back to the library, my head held high, my heart fluttering. I entered and looked around, nopony was home, I walked up stairs and looked for my outfit for tomorrow. Man, I'm acting like Rarity. I picked out a nice pair of tighter jeans, and my red long sleeved shirt to wear under my tux. Have to look proper for the princesses. I made sure all my clothes were ready for tomorrow and I laid down on my bed, wanting to get to sleep early. I was almost asleep, when I heard Twilight come up the stairs.

"Marshall, are you awake?" She opened the door and walked in. "Aww, he is so cute when he is sleeping." She pulled back the blanket and climbed in, snuggling close to me, I wrapped my arm around her and she sighed. "Sweet dreams Marshall..." She breathed deeply, and we both fell asleep. Both excited for tomorrow, it was a whole new day.
