"I'm not too sure about it Ms.Cheerilee both Serendipity and Sol aren't really that adjusted to life outside the Everfree." You informed her what Ms.Cheerliee wore was nothing short of stunning even a little risqué for a teacher almost like one of those teachers that were a little naughty, you've seen playcolts before and you've had to say damn did they look good, but then again you were at a mental and physical age of fourteen at the time. She wore a white dress shirt with a red tie and a red skirt that hugged her hips ever so slightly. Anyway as you said before both weren't really use to life outside of the forest, both were startled when they entered the school grounds seeing so many fillies and colts running around having fun, of course Sol being indifferent with the situation didn't really care for any of the other children, Serendipity on the other had to hug your arm, just for her to let go after seeing a birdhouse and a bluejay fly towards the small house.

"Relax Dante it isn't much of an issue if I need to tutor them I know how children react in new environment, these fillies need someone to rely on with their studies and I'm happy to help, you on the other hand have so much experience in making friends, you'll be able to help both girls with their social issues."

"Social issues...yeah, anyway I need to warn you about something Sol is a bit of an attach filly what I mean is that Sol only likes to stay close to her sister, she's sorta like her protector and Serendipity is a bit clueless on main topics of the world, so you might need to dumb things down for her, but for the love of god don't embarrass her, she hates it when anyone purposely tries to dumb things down for her, be subtle about it. Please."

"Don't worry Dante I've dealt with kids before I'm a teacher for goodness sakes."

"Sorry I'm just a little paranoid about these girls Serendipity I feel like I could connect with her, Sol has trouble with me being close to her sister." Ms.Cheerilee smiled and nodded

"Don't worry too much Dante I'm sure they'll be fine here." You sighed and nod when the bell rang signifying that the kids were about to come inside.

"Right I should just worry about myself, they'll find their way. Eventually." Kids began to come in and sit in their seats and stared at both you and Ms.Cheerilee as you two continued to talk for a little longer.

"Yes they will, now I believe it's time for me to start class." She then began to push you out as you got the message and stopped her and walked out the room.

You exited the school and continued in towards town there had to be something you could do there for the time being.

School...

Serendipity sat patiently in her seat and looked out the window as Sol paid attention to what Ms.Cheerilee had began to teach, it was nothing too hard and relatively easy nonetheless Serendipity didn't feel like learning she felt like going out and doing something fun, but that could result in her being in trouble which she didn't want to begin to do.

Serendipity sighed and placed the tip of her pen in her mouth as she looked out the window she rhythmically began to tap on her table, something she did on occasion if she so happened to be bored or anxious about something her ears slightly twitched during this time almost as if they were doing the same, her tail would wrap around her leg if she was stuck in these types of situations.

Serendipity was a special kind of filly these things made her, her and she felt like these petty incursions always signified she was bored beyond her mind.

"Serendipity is there something bothering you?" Ms.Cheerilee asked as Serendipity turned her head to see almost the whole class staring at her weird antics.

"Oh um nothing is wrong miss, I was um uh-" Serendipity couldn't think of much and glanced at Sol almost begging for her to find a way out of this embarrassing situation.

"Sorry about that Ms.Cheerilee Serendipity gets like that when someone mentions something she doesn't understand. I believe it was about the subject of a Cutie Mark." Sol informed as she winked at Serendipity who smiled and nodded.

"If you need an explanation just ask I'll do my best to explain it, no need to fall behind on work if you can't understand something." Ms.Cheerilee informed Serendipity nodded and looked towards the front of the class beginning to pay attention as Ms.Cheerilee began to explain what a Cutie Mark was.

"Now a Cutie Mark is a special mark that appears on the back of your hand after you've completed a certain task that commemorates what you're very special at doing, some may not get until they're teenagers other will get it when they're extremely young. A way to get a Cutie Mark is to perform something that you're very talented at." Serendipity stopped writing in her notepad and looked at the back of her hand to see if she got hers only to see the pristine white coat of hers, she sighed and rose her hand.

"Yes Serendipity?"

"But how do we know our special talent?"

"Well it's difficult to know what your special talent is you may have to find out what you like in order to know." Serendipity sighed as she continued to write in her notepad, her tail slowly began to wrap around her leg yet again. Her ears slightly twitching as she rested her head on her table.

"Now class we will be splitting up into groups of four for an activity. This activity will require a creative mindset as you all may know a celebration has been suggested to townhall, it's called the Fall Harmony Festival. It's a festival that is celebrated in the middle of fall so around October give or take a few weeks."

"What is the festival about miss?" Serendipity lifted up her head and looked across the room to see a unicorn colt with weird looking ears and eyes.

"Well Midnight Daze the festival is revolved around appreciating every mare and filly, all around any mare or filly in general, it's meant to bring harmony amongst both genders, the boys usually give gifts of sweets to the girls or any kind of item such as flowers, gems, or anything that signifies that you truly appreciate the fillies and mares around you."

"Aww why do girls get all the fun." The same colt whined Serendipity smiled and giggled as the rest of the class left out a few laughs of their own.

"Don't worry Daze, boys get the same celebration as mares and fillies, but its held during the winter months. Now back to the topic I want two boys and two girls in each group so choose your group wisely." They all nodded as they began to rise from their chairs to walk over to their chosen partners.

Serendipity stayed close to Sol as she held her hand, Midnight Daze looked towards the two new girls and approached them.

"Would you like to be my partners?" Without a second to spare Serendipity nodded as Daze only smiled and took them to his close friend Rumble.

"Hey Rumble the new girls are gonna be in our group, is that cool with you?" He asked

"Sure as long as we get this done I'm up for anything." Serendipity smiled and looked at the two boys

"Oh your teeth. You have fangs?" Serendipity asked looking at Midnight's small fangs.

"Oh you noticed them, they're genetic. I got them from my mom my dad was a unicorn and my mom was a bat pony. They don't scare you right?"

"No they look amazing. Do you drink blood?" Midnight let out a small chuckle before shaking his head.

"What? No my mom makes some kind of artificial blood tasting juice."

"Do you drink only blood or do you eat other things." Serendipity asked

"I eat other things, but that artificial blood is my source of food, it's kinda like something that stops my head from hurting."

"Ooh that's smart."

"You're really curious about Midnight Daze, Serendipity, you're only like that around Mr.Knight." Sol mentioned as she had a slight distaste towards you.

"He's my friend Sol you should be more friendly to Mr.Knight just because you hate him doesn't mean I'm going to follow you."

"Who's Mr.Knight." He asked

"Didn't you see that guy leave before Ms.Cheerilee pushed him out." Rumble asked

"Oh that's Mr.Knight, I heard that his names Dante why so you call him Mr.Knight Serendipity?"

"Well I want him to really like me so I'm being super polite and saying his last name I don't wanna be rude and call him by his first name."

"You really like the guy huh?" Rumble asked

"Mmhmm I want him to like me so he'll ask me to be his little sister, I always wanted a big brother and he's the perfect pony to be my big brother."

"Well good luck with that, lets get this thing done." Sol and Serendipity nodded and continued on with the work.

Canterlot...

"No flying! No flying! How can any Pegasus survive a week without flying!" Raiden said to himself as he paced back in forth in his room.

Raiden looked at his back as his wings started to flutter he felt ultimately impatient only two more days before he could see his friends and once again fly.

"Alright calm down Raiden what can I do while I'm grounded. I can't go to the library,can't see my friends. Hmmm what can I do exactly?" He asked himself as he looked around his room, he approached the balcony's doorway and pushed it open to see a wide view of Canterlot and the city's gates, he looked down to see that just under his balcony was the royal guards training ground. Many of the stallions and mares were all dodging sword swipes,shooting arrows,and practicing hand to hand combat.

"Hmmm mom never said I couldn't watch the guards." Raiden smiled and walked out of his room running towards the guards training ground.

A few minutes later...

Taking the stairs took a lot longer then what Raiden expected without his ability to use his wings he was stuck walking and running.

"Jeez I need to work on my stamina." He said breathing heavily as he put his hand on his chest feeling his heart beat.

He approached the grounds to see that the many ponies were exercising and being taught militaristic orders. Raiden closed his eyes as he remembered a few things he learned in the streets, being a former thief he knew that he has to hide behind any sort of equipment or anything twice the size of him in order to keep himself from being found out.

"Alright Raiden just stick to the shade and don't make too much noise." Raiden entered a crouched position and walked towards what looked like supplies for the royal army hiding behind large wooden crates as he slide towards another box.

"Wow didn't know I had this in me." He said in a hushed whisper

"Me neither I thought you were clumsy like me." Raiden sighed as he instantly knew the voice.

"Screwball! What are you doing here?" He asked as he turned to see his odd friend.

"You needed company, anywho whatcha doin'?" She asked

"What do you mean what am I doing? I'm hiding what else could I possibly be doing hiding behind wooden crates?"

"Peeing,stealing,eating a cupcake,find out what lies behind a door,planning your next prank you could be doing all those things and I wouldn't know. Well except peeing I'd hear that and ya know see it too, but that's besides the point. Oh can I enjoy I wanna know what's with you!"

"Fine just stay quiet I need concentration." Screwball nodded as she pretend to zip her mouth and throw away the zipper.

Raiden nodded and continued his way towards his prize a rather large building with weapons that trainees would use.

"Hey don't you think using swords and bows could be dangerous I mean we are messing with dangerous weapons. Some can even kill us if we aren't careful."

"Don't worry about it Screwball we'll be careful and once we're done we'll put everything back." Raiden insisted

"You're like my big sister always telling me to do bad stuff, but always getting away with it, except for that who poison potion we gave to the girls but that's beside the point."

"Hey I thought love was made from a potion, can we move on now?" Raiden simply stated

"Sure lets just not get caught I rather not have to deal sitting in your room for any longer." Raiden smiled and nodded as he continued on to the trainees armory, he started to push the door only for it to not move an inch.

"Shoot! Hey, Screwball can you get in there and open it from the other side?"

"Fiiinnne." Screwball complained as she entered the armory through a rather tight looking spot between a small window opening.

Raiden stayed near a pile of wooden crates trying to keep his voice down and listening close to the door, waiting for the door to open.

"Hurry Screwball." Raiden said impatiently, he then looked at the door as he saw Screwball's hand push the door open.

He slowly walked towards the door and entered closing the door behind him.

He looked forward as his eyes widen excited to see so many weapons he's yet to see.

"Oh my god this is awesome! So many military used weapons albeit only for trainees, but still it's pretty awesome." Raiden then grabbed what looked like a crossbow and stared down the small scope that was attached to the weapon.

"Isn't that heavy?" Screwball asked

"A little, but it does look cool. I wish I could have one of these babies with me but I know mom wouldn't let me get one she'd think they're dangerous."

"Well duh they're used by the military, they're not toys dummy." Screwball simply stated as she smacked Raiden's head.

"Ow I get it you don't need to hit me." He said rubbing the back of his head

"Hey! You're my friend and if you get hurt then I get hurt which means you can hit me for free." Raiden glared at Screwball as he lightly tapped the back of her head

"I can't hurt a friend, but it's okay if you hit me."

"You're too nice Raiden!" Screwball shouted in annoyance, Raiden chuckled and took the crossbow along with a few bolts.

"Now lets shoot some bolts!" Screwball giggled and followed Raiden as they both approached a shooting range.

"Alright should we shoot one from a few feet away or the farthest away?" He asked

"Let's try something easy. How about from a foot away and if you hit a bullseye you step back a foot. Easy huh?" Raiden nodded and took up a firing stance as he pulled the trigger nothing happened as he looked at the crossbow.

"I think you need to pull the back part and then place a bolt in before it shoots."

"Oh okay." He nodded and began to pull the back of the crossbow and place a bolt into the mechanism loading it into place. He let out a soft exhale of breath and aimed down the sights sending the bolt down towards the target with both force and speed.

"Bullseye!" Raiden shouted happily and began to load another bolt while stepping back a foot.

Thirty minutes later...

"You constantly keep getting bullseyes, how the heck do you managed those?!" Screwball shouted

"It's not as easy as you think, it's kinda hard. Ya gotta be careful with the wind and all, sometimes it's easier if you just do it, as fast as you can once you load it in that is." Raiden said with smile

"Hey kid who are you talking to?" Raiden turn as his eyes widen to see two mares.

One had a unique sapphire blue bat pony night guard whose coat is covered in colorful intricate designs that flow across her body, and throughout her silver mane and tail. The designs even flow across her pegasus like ridged wings.  The other had an almost snow white coat as well as a bright yellow, and electric blue streak that has a tail to match.

"Uh myself." Raiden quickly answered

"O-Kay then well uh you're the new prince right? Well let me introduce myself, I'm Flaremix." The one with the Snow White coat said

"And that's Mosaic Muse." Flare said pointing towards the sapphire blue pony

"I'm Raiden as you already know nice to meet you two."

"Nice to meet you too." Mosaic said with a soft smile

Raiden blushed as her smile made him feel off, he shook his head and brushed off the sensation before walking with the two royal guards. As they walked they both began to talk a bit about themselves they were both royal knights an elite class of guards who were highly trained to protect royalty as they were assigned to Raiden to protect him and befriend him.

"Wow so you two are my personal guards?"

"Knights kid knights. We aren't just any regular guard we're skilled to take on any kind of situation." Said Flare with much admiration for herself

"Sorry I mean knights." Raiden corrected himself as Flare smiled and nodded

They continued on towards the royal castle passing many of the recruits training to become one of the many guards wanting to protect and serve Equestria's royal army.

"Wow a lot of these guards seem pretty pumped up."

"Well yeah they're joining the guard and if they're any good they'll have an opportunity to join the knights." Raiden smiled as they walked into the castle as they turned the corner they spotted Blueblood yet again yelling at a poor maid for misplacing his favorite sheets.

"One more chance and this is your last chance you insufficient worm! Now leave!" He shouted as the maid ran past Raiden and his two guards.

"Boy that guy really gets on my nerves! I know he's family but he's got to be put in his place!" Said Raiden as he started to think of ways to get pay back just then he had an idea.

"Hey girls ya wanna help prank Blueblood?" Mosaic and Flare glanced at each other and nodded

"Count us in." Mosaic said with a smile

Ponyville...

The bell rang as you approached the dirt trail to the school yard, after wandering around for a solid few hours Derpy asked of you could pick up Dinky, of course she was blushing like a red tomato and there was no way of getting out of her request.

"Jeez Dante you really need to say no every once in a while you'll look like a punk if you don't defend yourself." Said Eris as she shook her head in disappointment

"Shut up E, they ask for help I do, I'm not some asshole who refuses every little thing they're my friends and of course I gotta say yes." Eris sighed as she looked at Lola who was currently perched on your shoulder

"What do you think Lola? You think Dante should say no?" Lola only tilted her head as she looked at Eris

"I'm guessing you're with Dante on this huh?" Lola simply nodded as she looked forward towards the class room door, you knocked a few times and pushed open the door. Most of the kids were either gone or just stayed for their parents or guardians to arrive, you spotted Dinky looking rather tired as she had her eyes closed her head seemed rather close to hitting the desk.

"Dante are you here for Sol and Serendipity? If you are they left a little while ago they seemed to be in a slump after informing them about Cutie Marks." Ms.Cheerilee informed

"Oh no I'm here to get Dinky, Ditzy wanted me to get her."

"Oh and why's that? Are you trying to get a mare to love you?" Ms.Cheerilee asked with a teasing tone

"Sometimes I can't believe you're a teacher, the way you talk might as well be a sassy secretary."

"Oh haha very funny Dante."

"I'm here all week sweetheart." You let out a small chuckle as Lola leaped off your shoulder and ran towards Dinky poking her cheek.

Dinky's eyes slowly opened as she saw your pet bunny wake her from her rather uncomfortable slumber.

"Oh hey Lola is Dante here?" Lola nodded as she pointed towards you

"Hey there kiddo ready to go?" She nodded and gathered up her materials and ran towards the door with Lola sitting perched on her shoulder.

"I'll talk to ya later Ms.Cheerilee."

"Just call me by my name, I don't call you Mr.Knight. Now do I?" She said with a smirk

"Ms.Cheerilee the relationship we have is at it's peak let's not ruin it with first names."

"You're such a gentlecolt when it comes to mares." She let out a small giggle as you waved goodbye and exited the school.

A few minutes later...

"So Dinky what did you learn today?" You asked

"Oh nothing too important just about that new festival they're planning during spring." She replied

"Ah yes the Fall Harmony Day Festival, I heard that they're holding it a week before The Running of the Leafs."

"Yeah, anyway we also learned about Cutie Marks too, hey Dante can I ask you a question?"

"What's up kiddo?" You asked

"Do you have a Cutie Mark? I mean I know you're a different species and all, but I was wondering if you did because you're like my sister's age and she has hers." You chuckled and walked stopped near a bench in the middle of town square, Dinky did the same and placed her book bag on the side.

"I do not. I never got one because well at first I thought because I didn't find my special talent I kept trying different things, eventually I stopped trying and began to focus on my studies. Look at the back of my hand." You reveal your blank hand as Dinky gasped.

"Oh don't you feel upset?" She asked

"No if I wasn't meant to have one then I wasn't meant to have one, simple as that." You smiled as Dinky was just fixated on your hand almost seeing if you put something over it, she gave up after a few seconds.

"Alright let's get you home." Dinky nodded and slung her book bag over her shoulder and continued walking alongside you as Lola had climb on top of your shoulder.

A few minutes later...

After your little talk about Cutie Marks with Dinky you decided to take her home, of course Ditzy wasn't home so it fell on your shoulder to take care of her. God bless television to keep kids company while babysitter just sits around. Out if nowhere you asked an odd yet satisfying question.

"Hey Dinky let me ask ya question."

"Sure uh what is it?" She asked

"Well I know your big sis and you are close and talk a lot to each other. I wanted to ask if she talks about me? Anything in particular?"

"Hmm well Ditzy always says that you're cute and sometimes says that you look familiar."

"Familiar? Cute?"

"Yeah! She says she remembers you from somewhere and can't remember from where."

"Hmmm I'm not sure what to tell you, I did get a few jobs that required me to be in the public eye. So maybe she saw one of those jobs." Dinky nodded and smiled as she looked back towards the tv.

You on the other hand had been thinking about Ditzy too. Ever since that kiss you didn't know what to say to her, every time it was awkward for you then it was for her. Even today when she asked you to pick up Dinky from school you blushed like a red tomato, sure she wasn't the first option to be your marefriend but its just as unexpected as any other thing that had happened. Though you wouldn't mind having her she is cute, cuter then cute beautiful even if you didn't have so many choices in marefriends you would've chosen her to go on a date with.

Sure she isn't as bright as the others but she makes it up with her curiosity and outgoing personality, and personally you did enjoy Dinky's company she was cute as a button and always had time for your questions, may it be dumb or logical ones she'd be there.

"Am I actually falling in love with Derpy? My heart races when I'm near her and I feel like its going to explode, oh god Eris I need your help." You thought as Eris used telepathy to answer your questions.

"Sorry Dante I got nothing." You sighed clenched your fists as you felt Dinky's tail touch your hand you looked to your side to see her sleeping silently. Her hands were under her head. You smiled and carried her to her room and placed her in her bed.

You walked out of Dinky's room and walked back towards the living room, as you sat down on the couch you heard the front door open. You turned your head and glanced at the door.

Derpy seem to have been carrying bags as you got up from the couch and helped her. She smiled and thanked you and continued her way towards the kitchen.

"Where's Dinky?" Derpy asked

"She's sleeping after I got her home she fell asleep I'm guessing school got her beat." You said with a chuckle

Derpy only smiled and nodded as she began to unpack whatever she had gotten while she was out. You felt your heart race as you began to look at Derpy her beautiful body was something you yearned for, why you felt these feelings you had no idea.

Your eyes always went down towards her hips, she wore a pair of brown cargo shorts something she wore on a regular basis due to her job she looked incredible in, as you eyes went upwards your eyes met Derpy's she had a soft and serene smile, along with her beautiful golden irises.

"Is there something wrong Dante?" She asked

"N-no no I just was uh-" She placed her hand on your forehead as she felt your temperature.

"Wow Dante you're burning up! Come with me I'll get you some ice cream, maybe that'll help you." Derpy lead you towards the couch you sat in a few minutes ago. You say there silently as you felt your heart race yet again.

Why am I feeling this way with her, it's love I get it but why now? You wanted to get out of Derpy's home but at the same time you didn't you had conflicting emotions for this ditzy mare and wanted a way out.

Derpy made her way towards you and set a bowl of ice cream on the table, she nudged you to have some ice cream which you did taking a scoop of the strawberry flavored sweet.

You didn't have a fever but you did feel a lot better after that one scoop.

"Thanks Derpy! I feel a little better."

"Hey Dante."

"Hmm?"

You turned your head as felt Derpy's lips on yours, you wanted to push her off but at the same time you wanted more of her, the overcoming feelings you had made you want just even more of her.

Her body slowly start to go on yours as she was on top, your hands trailed down her shoulders and down towards her chest she let out a loud moan as you accidentally squeeze her breasts. You two separated both breathing heavily as you looked at each other with soft and serene smiles.

"Holy crap that was awesome."

"Dante I...I love you. I want you to be my coltfriend, I want to be yours." Her head laid on your shoulder as you brushed her mane.

"I love you too Der- I mean Ditzy." Derpy smiled and kissed your cheek laying on top of you as you continued to brush her mane. Giggling every time your hand went past her hair and towards her butt.

It was a cute sight and something told you that day wasn't up yet you were to get another surprise later today.

An hour later...

You had woken up to see that the sun was near setting across the horizon, you moved slightly as you fell off the couch and almost hit your head on the coffee table.

You heard Derpy yawn as she looked down from the couch to see you rubbing your head, she let out a small giggle.

"Why are you on the floor sweetheart?" Derpy asked

"Just layin' around I guess."

"Come on up sweetheart." Said Derpy as she gave you hand.

"I gotta go Ditzy."

"Aww really? Oh well I'll see you tomorrow?" You smiled and nodded giving her a kiss on the cheek before leaving her home and walking towards your own.

"So what does it feel to have a marefriend now?" Eris asked

"I gotta say it doesn't all that different I just have someone to care for now. Not that I didn't have something care for, I got you and Lola don't I?"

"Oh so I'm a pet now?" Eris asked

"Yeah pretty much." You chuckled

"Oh come on Fluttershy you aren't seeing anyone I'm not seeing anyone. It's a win win." You heard a stallion say to Fluttershy as she carried bags of groceries.

"I'm flattered, but no." Fluttershy said to the stallion as she seemed to be losing. You sighed and walked towards the two knowing exactly what to say.

"Hey Shy is this guy bothering you?" You asked

"Hey buddy back off, I wasn't doin' anything wrong."

"You're a bothering a friend who already said no. Back away from her." You said in a threatening tone

"And who are you? Her coltfriend?"

"Y-yes! He's my coltfriend where were you sweetheart." She said holding your hand

"You should've said something." He said annoyed by his wasted time.

You looked at Fluttershy with an odd look as she blushed and looked away.

"I'm sorry I didn't think to bring you into my mess, I just panicked and thought about the first thing."

"Don't worry about it. Kinda smart too, so would you like me to escort you home? I'll even hold your bags."

"Oh thank you no wonder everypony supports everything you do."

"What do you mean everything I do?" You asked

"Well every time a new pony arrives in town you're either the one who makes them or happy befriends, and some who are mean you turn their attitudes around."

"That's just me being me. If people wanna support what I do then I'd like to thank them." Fluttershy stopped and looked at you.

"What is it?" You asked

"Dante would you accept me to be your marefriend?"

Sure. If we're talking about it hypothetically." Fluttershy sighed and looked to the ground as she clenched her fists.

"I can't keep this up anymore! Dante I have to tell you something."

"What is it Fluttershy?" You asked

Fluttershy then brought you close and gave you a kiss as she did her hands went on your shoulders, your hands down and towards her hips. You pushed her off and started breathing heavily as you swallowed a lump in your throat.

"F-Fluttershy we can't do this. I have Ditzy with me she's my marefriend." Fluttershy started to tear up as she start to shake slight.

"I understand I won't press it any further." She looked upset that didn't accept your love.

She didn't let you fully explain you loved her with all your heart, you were too afraid to even say what was on your mind.

"Fluttershy I do love you. I love you with all my heart, every time Twilight told me about your shyness and every time you felt scared I wanted to be there for you. To make your tears stop to hug you and make feel special. When Twilight told me that you told off a dragon that made me happy that you were still there alive and well, if I ever lost you I wouldn't taste those vanilla tasting lips and complain to someone who'd listen."

"You're embarrassing me Dante I'm not that important in your life. Am I?" She asked

"Fluttershy you're a confident mare and I care for you. I want you to join me and Ditzy and create a little harem, would you do me honors of joining?" Fluttershy looked as if she was going to cry before hugging you and kissing you constantly.

"Of course! Dante of course!" She cried on to your shoulder as kept kissing you.

So far it was a good day and you needed this. You need this satisfaction, you need something like this. And it's finally happening happiness with two mares you love so much. Tomorrow you'd tell Ditzy about your idea and hopefully she won't hate it.

Canterlot...

"So why do need a maid's outfit?" Mosaic asked

"Well we need to teach Blueblood a lesson so this our best bet into getting him to realize that just because he's a prince doesn't mean it'll protect him forever." Raiden informed

"Ah I see giving him a dose of his own medicine." Flare said with a smile as the trio approached the maids quarters, Raiden approached the door and knocked a few times before entering.

"Attention Maidens of Canterlot Castle young Prince Raiden would like to make an announcement!" Mosaic said with vigor in her voice

"Thank you Mosaic. As you all know I'm tired of Prince Blueblood's verbal abuse to those who serve me and the royal family, I know you all take your jobs seriously, you all have families of your own and wish to have a little respect while on the job and I'm here to give it to you, all I need is a maid's outfit!" Each of the maids looked at each other with worry as they were afraid of losing their jobs.

"I promise that you'll all be protected by any measure Blueblood may create." Most of the maids were unsure others were happily wanting to oblige.

"Here you go sire please teach that stallion a lesson." One of the several maids said giving him an outfit he could use.

"Thank you madam I promise by the end of tomorrow you'll have the respect you are needing." Raiden informed

A few hours later...

"So what's the next step?" Flare asked as she walked alongside Raiden and Mosaic.

"We're going to need some ink,glue,and feathers."

"Hmmm I think there's glue and ink in the library and feathers I'm not really sure where we can find them." Raiden sighed as he knew he couldn't go into the library he was banned and didn't want to just disobey his mothers rule.

"Hey Flare could you go in and get the glue and ink? I'm not allowed to enter the library."

"Sure, I'll go and get whatever you need Mosaic should get the feathers I'm pretty sure there's spare pillows that we could use that have a few feathers in them." Raiden nodded as they all separated and continued to get the required items.

"Hmmm I wonder where they keep all room essentials?" Raiden continued to walk forward and spotted a maid carrying several towels that past over her chest.

"Um excuse me miss? Do you know where the room essentials are kept?" The mare gasped and dropped the towels as she quickly wiped the non-existent dirt. From what Raiden saw of her, she was baby blue Pegasus pony with a dark blue straight mane that ended in a curl, she also had a clear white scarf wrapped around her neck, her Cutie Mark was of a droplet of water with seven small white sparks circled around the water droplet.

"Oh I'm very sorry I didn't mean to bother you, I just need your help miss uh-"

"My names Dew Drop sire." The maid said with a rather large smile

"Well hello Dew Drop my name Raiden, again I'm sorry to bother you but I need to know where they keep the backup room essentials?"

"Goodness a Prince shouldn't have to gather his own items I'll get those to you ASAP."

"Uh no it's fine miss I just need them for a plan I'm making." Dew nodded and guided Raiden towards a rather large room filled to the brim with essential bath items and room items. All the while Raiden kept thinking about this odd mare.

'Weird, that's all I can say about her. I mean sure I'm a prince now but doesn't mean I can do things on my own. I guess she's paranoid with Blueblood and his bullying, I wonder if she's just worried about her job then again she does seem awfully perky.'

"Here it is sire, do you need any assistance?" She asked

"Dew Drop, can I trust you with a secret?"

"Yes sir!" She said with a nod

"Well the reason I need these pillows is because I'm planning something on Blueblood to put him in his place. Now if you help me carry these pillows you're an accomplice but I need someone I can trust, can I trust you?"

"As long as the sky is blue I'm sworn to serve the royal family even if that means to keep a secret and I shall assist you sire." Raiden smiled and nodded as he grabbed a few pillows from a large stack and continued on towards his room alongside Dew Drop who seemed rather worried, but ready to help,

Ponyville...

You and Fluttershy approached the schoolhouse, she seemed slightly afraid of what Derpy would say if she would reject her or accept her into your relationship with her. You tried calming Fluttershy down by saying everything will turn out fine, and that you'd be there for both girls of them that you'd care and love them both adding that if Derpy didn't accept her they'd always be friends.

As you entered the schoolhouse you saw Dinky whispering into Ms.Cheerilee's ear making her giggle as Dinky continued to whisper.

"Oh hello Dante. How are you today?" Cheerilee asked as she continuously giggled

"I'm fine uh Ms.Cheerilee what's got you giggling like a schoolgirl?"

"Oh nothing." A smirk appearing as she went to working on her papers.

"Shy could you take Dinky outside I need to have a private chat with Ms.Cheerilee." Fluttershy nodded and took Dinky outside of the schoolhouse waiting for you to exit.

"Alright spill it Ms, I know you know something either about me or about someone close to me." Cheerilee's giggles turned into laughter as she rose from her seat.

"I know you and Ditzy are officially a couple and I know you're being lovey-dovey over her it was just adorable the way Dinky described it." You face palmed as you knew you shouldn't have been so blunt with Ditzy about admitting your love so forward like.

"That was an intimate moment you're laughing at Ms, I expected better from you." You crossed your arms and turn as she only approached you from the other side the table. Patted your shoulder.

"Oh relax I'm only teasing you need to take a joke." You sighed and slumped your shoulder as you looked directly at her.

"Do you know what a harem is?" You asked

"Wait don't you already know? You've been to school correct?"

"Yeah I've been to school I'm not an idiot." You retorted

"Then why do you ask?"

"Because relationships are hard Ms.Cheerilee and you're good at listening to my problems and if you weren't a teacher is hire you as my therapist." You complained

"Oh shush and go I have work to do and you here is distracting me, now go on and get don't make get the ruler."

"Way to be kinky." You mumbled

"What was that?"

"Nothing nothing." You exited the schoolhouse and walked towards your two companions.

"Ready to go?" They both nodded as they grabbed your hands Fluttershy more then embarrassed.

A few minutes later...

You arrived at Derpy's home Dinky opened the door to her home and placed her bag on the floor as she happily skipped to the kitchen. You looked forward to see Ditzy walk towards you.

"Thank you Dante for bringing her again, I know I should be getting her myself, but you know don't know how lazy I get after work." You merely smiled and kissed her cheek you looked towards the kitchen to see that Dinky was too preoccupied to listen in on your conversation with her sister you decided it was the best time to tell her what you had on your mind.

"Ditzy we need to talk."

"About?"

"Well yesterday when I left your home I was walking home and saw Fluttershy being hit on by some stallion, she tired saying no and telling the guy to back off, but due to her shy demeanor I had to step in and tell the guy to back off, after a few words were exchanged Fluttershy came up with a quick lie and told the guy I was her coltfriend and well from there things got to an odd end." You looked towards Fluttershy who seemed rather afraid of the impending answer but you kept a solid poker face.

"What happened?" Ditzy asked as she grabbed your hand

"Well after the whole approach Fluttershy kinda confessed her love to me and I kinda did the same." Ditzy only stood there you didn't know if she was mad or okay with the whole idea.

"Does this mean you love him too?" She asked

"Oh of course! He's sweet,kind,and caring for everyone and he isn't like other stallions." Fluttershy admitted as she happily smiled at you, you smiled back as Ditzy smiled and approached the two of you, she gave you a kiss on the nose and hugged you.

"I love you Dante and Fluttershy does too, I'm sure this could work!" She let out a giggle and hugged Fluttershy at the same time Fluttershy let out a small squeak and got out of the hug.

"What happened?" You asked

"I pinched her butt." Ditzy giggled as Fluttershy blushed furiously, you smiled and let out a chuckle. Today was a great day two girls who loved you with all their hearts accepted your request to form a herd. It turned out a lot better then expected.

"Look I'll see you girls later I'm tired and need my rest." They both smiled and nodded as you walked out of Ditzy's home and towards yours.

A few minutes later...

As you entered your room you spotted Lola sleeping on her bed along with Eris sleeping on yours. You smiled and walked over to your desk and looked at your mail, most of it junk but one had blue wax stamp.

"Hmmm you finally decided to write me." You said to yourself as you opened the letter.

Dear Dante,

I feel slightly uncomfortable about using your first name instead of calling you by your highness, anyway I miss you it's been a few months without your voice and the dirty jokes you use to tell me when I felt stressed I remember when you got sick of Aleksandr bothering you and you told me to send him on a wild goose chase. I know you're a grown stallion and don't need my help for much but I have to admit just because you're grown up doesn't mean I don't worry for you, ever since you saved me from being Blueblood's personal maid and you became my master I felt satisfied that you had done that too. Though sometimes I long for you to come back but during absence a new prince has arrived, Mistress Luna had gotten a child from the orphanage I believe he seems rather curious about many things about life and I even believe he has a few friends with him just like yourself. Anyway that's all I can really say about Castle but I can inform you that Mistress Celestia has missed you. I've heard other guards say how she misses her little boy, maybe you can visit keep your mother from breaking your secret.

Sincerely Dew Drop

You smiled and walked over towards your drawers and began to pack, you'd at least visit your mother and find out about this new prince your aunt had adopted and hopefully have a chance to talk to Cadence while you're there.

You looked towards Lola and walked over to her petting her as she stretched and yawned, her drowsy movement further made it obvious that she was tired beyond relief.

"Sorry to wake Lola but we're going on a unexpected trip." You informed she nodded as she rubbed her eyes and climbed on to your shoulder and jumped on to Eris stomach making her wake up.

"Dammit Dante you gotta control that bunny of yours." She said as she rubbed her stomach.

"Wake up you lazy jerk we gotta go on a trip."

"Where?"

"Back home." You simply informed

Canterlot...

"Wow that was easy, who would have though he'd go to sleep that early for beauty sleep I still don't get it what does that means." Raiden said with much confusion

"Yeah alright let's get this done." Said Mosaic

"Ok then, I'll go change the shampoo and soap, you two take care of the clothes in the meantime." Raiden says as he entered the bathroom and got to work on the clean products

"Ok got it, and I'll take the mirror there, how are you two doing?"

"We're doing great just hurry!" Flare whispered

"Ok put all the clothes in the sack and let's take all the mirrors and…wow." Raiden stopped when he saw a mirror 3 times his size and almost as big as the door

"Uh…girls…I think I'm going to need a bit of help with this one."

"Give us a sec." They both said with hushed voices

Raiden waited and looked towards Blueblood to see that he was tossing and turning, he looked towards the ground to see that he was looking for his stuffed teddy bear. Raiden quickly ran towards the bed and placed the bear right next to him in a quiet and soft place.

"Alright we're ready holy crap! How the hell are going to get this monster outta here!" Flare said with worry.

"Don't worry we'll uh hmmm I got an idea here Flare take my gauntlet and use this to levitate this big mirror outta here." Flare nodded as she placed on the gauntlet and began to use magic to remove the mirror and take it out of the room along with Raiden who carried the sack of clothes and Mosaic who carried the smaller mirrors. They exited the room and closed the door with a soft push.

A few minutes later...

"We did it girls now we play the waiting game tomorrow morning Blueblood will regret his verbal abuse to everyone who serves us." Mosaic happily giggled as she hugged Raiden and gave him a kiss on the cheek along with Flare who did the same.

Raiden blushed as he rubbed the back of his head, as he let out a few stutters.

"You're adorable when you're blushing."

"N-no I'm not." He said crossing his arms.

"Yeah you look so cute." Flare added further making Raiden blush.

Dante...

After a few hours you were halfway to Canterlot it was pretty late and you had a private cabin, along with a private room you had a private bathroom, you were washing your face with soap and water. As Eris was currently sitting on the bed along with Lola who had been enjoying a carrot cake from dining cart of the train.

"So whatcha gonna do once you're in Canterlot?" Eris asked

"First I gotta talk with Celestia she'll sure as hell be excited to see me again then find this new Prince aunt Luna adopted. After that talk to Dew Drop kinda wanted to come home after reading her letter."

"Well looks like you're going to be busy tomorrow morning."

"Tell me about it." You said with a chuckle

"So you gonna tell them about Ditzy and Fluttershy? I mean they'll be more then excited to know you finally have yourself a mare by your side or should I say two mares by your side."

"As long as they don't talk about marriage then we're good." You let out a yawn as you walked to the bed and laid sideways with Lola making herself comfortable on your stomach. You began to scratch behind her ears as she looked even more relaxed then ever.

Eris rose and began to take her clothes off revealing her naked body, she only smiled as you looked.

"Ya know for a lazy being you're pretty fit, I mean look at your stomach you aren't skinny like most girls and your skin is silky smooth." You rose from the bed and placed Lola to the side and began to touch her shoulders and down towards her breasts.

She smiled and kissed your cheek turning as her hand gripped yours.

You merely smiled and began to spin her as she happily felt the air swirl around her, you bowed her and looked into her beautiful discolored eyes. She was beautiful, she was someone you cared for. She may have been a jerk and annoyed you constantly, but those indiscretions you could ignore she was there through the bad times. When you were upset she'd try her best to help you any way she could, she loved you and you loved her. It was basic emotions and feelings you had for her and the feelings she had for you.

"Dante thanks for being there, you're my best friend and you'll always be the one I care for." You smiled and nodded as you let go of her and laid down on the bed as she walked over to you and laid next to you.

Romantic relationship with Eris? It may not happen.

Friends with benefits? You didn't want that just mindless sex isn't something you wanted.

Best friends who'd eventually love each other? It was a strong and possible chance for that to happen, but for now it was best to think about the present.

A few hours later...

You woke up a few hours later, you looked to your side to see Eris changing into her usual clothes.

"Finally you're up, train's about to stop." You nodded and rose from the bed waking up Lola at the same time as she rubbed her eyes, you grabbed your luggage and walked out of the room.

You waited until the train came to a complete stop, as you stepped off the train you walked towards the city's walls. They had set up guards near the walls keeping watch for anyone who might be troublemakers.

As you entered the city most ponies who didn't know who you were only stared, others who knew who you were respectfully bowed as you gave a single nod.

"Man it feels so weird to have ponies bow for me." You whispered to Eris

"Aren't you already use to it? I mean ever since you lived here you had to deal with ponies bowing by your very presence." Eris mentioned

"Doesn't mean it doesn't feel any weirder. When I was on earth most people would just glance at me and continue walking here I'm freaking royalty." Eris smiled and patted your back as you approached the castle gates.

"Welcome Prince Dante!" You smiled and nod as you heard the guard shout towards another guard to open the gates.

You thanked the guard and entered the castle grounds and walking towards the rather large doors towards the throne room you knew your mother would be.

As you pushed open the doors you approached the thrones another was added to the previous three that held you,your mother,and Cadence.

Hmmm must be Luna's. You thought to yourself as you walked over to yours, you slowly sat on your throne. You smiled as you began to remember every little thing you use to do in the throne from just general non-sense all the way to cooking up pranks.

"Ah the good ol' days when all we cared about was seeing if our prank would be a success, then getting grounded for being found out." You chuckled and smiled as you sat back on the throne closing your eyes with happiness.

"Dante, I mean Master I am very sorry for uh...calling you in a informal tone and name." You looked up to see Dew Drop as she blushed

"Don't worry about it Dew, still beautiful as ever."

"You give me too much praise Master." Dew Drop said with a blush

"You're adorable when you're embarrassed you know that." You smiled and chuckled before thinking.

"What is it Master?" She asked

"Do you know where my mothers at?"

"Mistress Celestia is drinking her morning tea Master, she still has no idea you're here." You smiled and walked towards the exit as Dew Drop began to run alongside you, desperately trying to catch up with you.

"Is there something wrong?" You asked

She nodded and hugged you with as much force as her small frame could give you.

"I'm glad you're back Master."

"Glad to be back Dew." You said with a smile as you pat her back and walked towards the exit alongside Dew Drop.

A few minutes later Raiden...

"Wake up Raiden!" Screwball shouted into Raiden's ear as he covered his head with his pillow.

"Go away Screwball." Raiden said with slight annoyance.

"Oh come on sleepy head lets go we have to see if the prank on Blueblood worked!" She said with great excitement

Raiden sighed as he stretched and jumped from bed, he looked at himself in the mirror and sighed.

"Can I get ready for the day first before we go?"

"Fiiiinnnneeee. Hurry up!" Screwball sighed and sat on Raiden's bed.

A few minutes later...

"So how do ya think Blueblood would react when he finds out what you did?"

"Maybe he'll even scream when he finds out, I wonder what would upset him more? The mirrors,the outfit,or the paint?" Raiden laughed as he and Screwball walked down the hall.

As they continued on towards the dining room, they spotted Lola. Wiggling her tail as she looked around the castle's hallway.

"Is that a bunny?" Raiden asked confused on why there's suddenly a bunny in the hallways.

"Poor thing he must be lost, come on Screwball, let's see if we can help him find his home." Raiden followed Lola mistaking her for a male

"Let's go after that bunny!" Screwball said happily

Raiden crawled on the floor slowly making his way towards Lola as she ate a baby carrot. She sniffed around and spotted Raiden who only looked down and cleaned her fur coat. Raiden continued crawling towards Lola and grabbed her as she dropped her carrot and began to squirm.

"Hey hey relax buddy." Raiden started to pet her in hopes to calming her down.

"Don't worry I wouldn't hurt you, I just wanted to say hi." Raiden tried getting a good grip on her only for him to touch her tail and slap him as he dropped her.

"Oh I'm sorry you don't like ponies touching your tail right? My mistake I promise I won't do it again, why don't we start again? Hi, my name is Raiden, nice to meet you." Raiden offered his hand keeping his distance so not to scare her or make her uncomfortable, Lola sniffed his hand and shook it and climbed on to his shoulder.

"Thank you, sorry for scaring you back there, how's your head by the way? Did you hit it too hard? Does it hurt?" He asked, Lola checked her ears and shook them a bit only for them to flop down, she gave a thumbs up.

"That's good. Hey are you hungry?" Lola began to think and nodded

"Cool let's go I'll make sure you get yourself a carrot cake."

"There you are sire, Mistress Luna has been looking for you." Dew Drop said as she finally found Raiden.

"Oh hi Ms.Drop what's up?" He asked

"Well your mother asked me to wake you, seeing as you're already up she wants you to meet someone."

"Really who is it?"

"Prince Dante your cousin from Ponyville she's excited for you to finally meet him."

"Oh we'll I was about to give this fella a treat can it wait?" He asked

"I'm sorry Sire but Mistress Luna requested that you meet him right away." Raiden sighed and looked at Lola who seemed to have sparked up happiness when the very mention of your name.

"Do ya know him?" Lola nodded as she pulled on his mane almost as if she was telling him to go.

"Alright alright calm down we'll go. Ms.Drop could you lead the way?" Dew Drop nodded and proved to walk towards the throne where you and your family had been currently talking.

As they entered Raiden spotted Luna and quickly went behind her. Raiden pulled her dress as she crouched down and listened to Raiden.

"Mom are you sure I'm ready to meet him?" He asked as Lola climbed off his shoulder and ran towards you.

"I'm sure don't be shy he's the nicest pony you'll ever meet I'm sure of it."

"If you say so."

"My life in Ponyville is a little strange, but things have been going smoothly right after a friend asked me to help on a farm, after that I've been having the best time." You said with a smile

"Really? You hate having to do physical labor why all of a sudden you want to?" Cadence asked

"Trust me in that small town nobody gets left behind if someone asks for help you gotta help in anyway you can. Anything could help even a smallest thing."

"I can tell you're working on a tan huh?"

"Unintentionally I am yes. Anyway enough about me what's been happening since I left?" You asked

"Well I'd like you to meet Raiden." Luna said stepping aside as you saw a Pegasus pony covering himself.

"Uh hey you must be Dante I'm Raiden, Candy told me about you." He said with a smile

"Really like?"

"Well she told me that you're like a little brother to her and that she loves you with all her heart even though you kinda annoy her."

"Yep that's her, alright, that's her in a nutshell." Cadence merely smiled and hugged you as Lola transferred on to her shoulder.

"Oh hey what's he doing."

"He? Ya mean Lola?"

"Why would you give a boy bunny a girl's name?" He asked

"Lola's a girl kid you do know that right?" Lola smiled and blinked twice.

"Well that's different." He said with a chuckle

A loud girlish scream was heard as you sighed and smiled.

"Ah how I love that sound. 3...2...1." The doors burst open to see Blueblood in a maids outfit along with a pink coat and mane, you let out a loud laugh as you missed pranking the one who made life in the castle unbearable.

"Wow Blueblood love the new style."

"Shut it peasant! I know you did this Raiden." Raiden merely smiled and nodded

"Oh and for your information your coat won't turn back to its original color by itself ya need a special mix that I can give you if you apologize to maidens that serve us."

"Apologize to those incompetent buffoons? Never!" Blueblood shouted in anger

"Okay then I hope you enjoy being pink."

"Give me the mix now!"

"Nope!" Raiden said happily as he placed it back into his pocket.

"You did that? Oh that's awesome looks like we got a prankster in the castle." You began to laugh yet again as Blueblood glared at you

"Apologize to the maidens, you get your coat color back. Simple as that."

"Fine fine just give me the mix!" Raiden smiled and tossed him the bottle.

"Oh and if you're lying I could do a lot worse." Raiden said with devious smile.

"Oh how I miss these confrontations. I gotta start visiting more often!" You said with a chuckle Next Chapter: 11.Fall Weather Friends Estimated time remaining: 37 Minutes
