Blake was currently hiding in room from the two princesses. All his friends returned to Ponyville early in the morning so they could deal with Eris. He offered to go and help, but Luna said that he other business to attend. He looked at her with shock and as he tried to tell his friends that she was lying, Celestia sealed away his voice. Most of his friends were oblivious to his missing voice, but Drak noticed the faint glow coming from Celestia’s horn. He could have said something, but if Celestia took away his voice then it had to be for a good reason.

Blake could only watch as all his friends left with their mares, leaving him trapped with the two alicorns. Once the doors closed he was freed from the magic spell. He turned around quickly to stare at the two alicorns who only smiled at him. He walked past the royal sisters so he could check a few things at the library. His walk was peaceful, but he could hear the princesses following him. He saw that they were still smiling and picked up his pace.

The alicorns easily matched each step that he made and he took off sprinting. His sprint didn’t take him far as one of the maids opened a door, causing him to be smacked face first into the solid oak. The mare heard the impact and looked around the door to see the human on the floor. She also noticed the princesses walking over and felt her heart race out fear for harming their lover. She closed the door quickly as she gave a courteous bow before the human.

“I’m sorry, Blake. I didn’t know you were there,” the maid apologized.

“Don’t worry about it. I shouldn't have been running where a door wouldn’t open. Sorry that you have to fix this,” Blake apologized as he got to his feet.

“You know it’s not safe to run around the castle, Blake,” Luna joked as she lifted him off the ground.

“I wouldn’t be running around if you two weren’t giving me this weird smile,” Blake said as he dusted off his clothes.

The maid took this as her chance to head for the next room so she wouldn’t get caught in the crossfire. The princesses continued to give off that weird smile as the human excused the maid. He let out a heavy sigh as he got down to business. He loved the two princesses very much and it seemed they had something important to say and he wanted to hear it. The smile the princesses had faltered as he beckoned them into the room.

The sisters looked at each other before giving a small shrug and entered the room. The human closed the door behind him and locked it so they wouldn’t be bothered. The alicorns looked at him when he locked his door and followed as he went for the bed. He sat on the edge as the two mares joined either side of him.

“What do you need to tell?” Blake asked as he laid on his back.

“Remember how I said I was setting up a date for you to go on later?” Celestia asked as she placed her head on his stomach.

“Yeah, but isn’t that not for a little longer?” Blake asked as he started stroking her mane.

“Actually, it’s tonight,” Luna answered as she plaed her head on his chest.

The two mares felt his body tense after hearing the date was tonight. They were a little worried that he was going to freak out since he didn’t have any time to really prepare. They were all fine with expanding their herd, but he was expecting a few months before he was going out to meet new mares. He looked down to see the two alicorns look at him nervously and went back to stroking their manes.

“A little sudden there, don’t you think?” Blake asked as he gave a small chuckle.

“Yes, but we felt it would be a nice change of pace for you. You spend most of your time at the castle and if you’re not here then you’re with your friends. Next thing that happens is you’re all in a fight and getting hurt. We want this to be something different for you and hopefully it will just be a relaxing night,” Celestia explained.

“It would be nice to be able to relax and not have to deal with some situation where one of us is being attacked,” Blake stated.

“Would you like us to reschedule the date for a time you’re more comfortable with?” Luna asked as her hand traveled all over his chest.

“Nah, it’s fine. Just please don’t drop that kind of news on me again if you decide to do this,” Blake said as he started to rub their ears, receiving low moans from the two mares.

“Very well, Blake. We’ll make sure to see when you would like to go on date that is comfortable for you,” Celestia said as she nuzzled him.

“So who am I going on a date with?” Blake asked as he started to rise from the bed.

“That’s a surprise, though I think she will enjoy her time with you as much as you will with her,” Luna said as she gave a sly smirk.

“You want me to have sex with her on the first date?” Blake asked with wide eyes.

“No, no. She completely understands that this is a get to know you date. This is to help her see if she wants to join or not and she can’t have sex with you unless we’re present,” Celestia said as she gently fondled his groin, slowly making him more aroused.

“Are you seriously going to blue ball me like this?” Blake asked with his eyes shut tight.

“Sorry, but you’re just really fun to tease,” Celestia said as she pulled her hand away.

“Don’t rile me up like that, please,” Blake said as he took calming breaths.

“Sorry, but we’re just really excited. We really want this date to go well so you can at least have a mare around to keep you company,” Luna said as she gave a small frown.

“Do you feel like that the two of you are never around enough?” Blake asked as he watched their ears droop a little.

“We’re never around when you want us. One of us is usually in court while the other is asleep. We want this to work between us, Blake. We haven’t been this in love for a long time and don’t want to screw it up,” Celestia explained.

“Don’t you have Nightmare Moon and Molly to help you out though?” Blake asked with a raised brow.

“We do, but there might be times that we still have our duties to attend to. We want to make sure that you have at least another suitable mate that can tend to your needs,” Luna explained.

“Listen, I knew what I was getting into after I agreed to be in this relationship. Do I wish that you two can be around more? Yes, but I understand what it means to have duties that require your attention. My friends and I were really distant with each other, but that was because we wanted to make sure that we were still around for a tomorrow,” Blake explained as he pulled the two taller mares closer to him.

“So you don’t mind our long absences?” Celestia asked as she folded her wings over her sister and human lover.

“Better than having Blueblood try his hand at it and those awful advisors that don’t listen to reason,” Blake said.

“Then we won’t dwell on it too much, Blake. Thank you for being understanding,” Luna said as she kissed his cheek.

“So when and where is the date?” Blake asked.

“It’s at The Royal Garden at seven,” Celestia said.

“I didn’t know your garden was also a restaurant,” Blake joked.

“Very funny,” Luna said as she shook her head.

“I have a few hours until I need to leave. What are we going to do?” Blake asked.

“We’re going to make sure that you’re ready for the date,” Celestia said as she started clapping.

Celestia stopped clapping when she felt Blake let go of her and started walking for the door. He knew exactly what the white alicorn was talking about and didn’t want any part of it. He didn’t mind wearing a suit, but being at the Gala really pushed his limits with one. He was about to open the door when it glowed a brilliant gold and many locks started to appear. He looked over at the two alicorns who were smiling again as they walked towards him.

“Where do you think you’re going?” Luna asked playfully.

“Hopefully somewhere I can wait out my time left until I leave,” Blake said as he gave a nervous chuckle.

“Don’t be silly. We need to get you outfitted in a nice suit before you go,” Celestia said as she reached out to him.

Blake could feel his heart beat against his chest as time started to slow. He knew the mares went well, but they were very stubborn when it came to him saying no. He only ever said it a few times, but most of the time he went along with whatever they wanted. He knew they weren’t going to let him go without getting a proper suit and had to resort to an escape plan. He saw a window on the other side of the room and did the one thing he never expected to work.

“Look, a distraction!” Blake yelled as he pointed to the side.

The two alicorns stopped their advance as they looked to where he was pointing. He knew that he should have been running for the window at the moment, but he couldn’t help but stare at the two mares. He had no reason to believe that would work, but here it was working on two very intelligent ponies. He shook his head to gain his thoughts back and started sprinting for the window. Luna caught him running, but by the time her horn flareed its midnight blue, he already jumped out.

He felt the glass break when he made contact and he felt really terrible that someone was going to have to clean his mess. The two alicorns ran out to see the human and fall to the ground. The princesses gasped when they saw his body hit the ground and worried for his safety. They gave a relieved sigh when he got back up, but soon grew upset when they saw him running around a column and enter the castle.

The human found a room that a maid had already cleaned and ran inside. He could hear the princesses running around and moving things with their magic as they looked for him. He held a hand over his mouth as he tried to keep from being heard. He could hear them on the other side of the door and they were slowly becoming infuriated. He looked at his watch to see he had a couple of hours before he had to go on his date. He heard the two alicorns leave and let out a heavy sigh as he was able to escape their grasp.

Fate on the other hand had something else planned for him. His alarm on the watch went off and it was loud in the quiet room. His heart raced as he started pressing buttons to get the buzzer to turn off. After ten seconds of heart pounding fear, he finally got the alarm to shut off. He pressed his ear against the door and listened for footsteps. He waited for several seconds and didn’t hear anything. He gave a nervous laugh that he was able to remain hidden from the two mares and started walking back.

His laugh soon died out when he felt something soft, fuzzy, and slightly big on his head. He slowly looked up to see the mares’ bosoms resting on his head. He took one step before they each grabbed an arm and started carrying him away. He didn’t bother fighting since he was aware of their strength and they weren’t going to let go anytime soon. His head drooped as he was carried away to the tailor, but gave a small smile when the princesses each gave him a kiss. Sure he was going to be captured, but he was able to kill some time before the date.

Hours Later

Night soon feel and he was looking at himself in a full length mirror. He admired the detail the tailor put into the suit, but it just didn’t sit right with him. He loved the look of the suit, but he felt that it would have been better if Rarity had made. He really couldn’t explain it, but when the white unicorn made him the suit he wore to the Gala, it felt right. Still the tailor did an amazing job and he made sure to thank the mare for all her hard work.

His suit was a midnight blue like Luna’s fur with stripes on his side in the color of purple, green, blue, and pink like Celestia’s mane. His cuff-links were white as Celestia’s fur, but held a small cosmos that he saw in Luna’s mane. He felt that he was a little more at risk with standing out while wearing the suit, but he knew he wouldn’t hear the end of it if he didn’t wear it. Sucking it for another time in his life, he left the castle after giving the princesses a kiss on the lips.

Luna offered to have a carriage brought around for him, but he declined as he wanted to walk through her illuminating light. The sisters waved goodbye as he walked down the concrete path and headed for the restaurant. It took him only a few minutes to reach his destination and he was surprised to see the building. He saw the sign of the building where the letters were in some fancy cursive and had plant life hanging off of it. All around the building were a multitude of flowers that really help give it an outside feel.

After admiring the natural aspects of the building, he opened the door to see the place pretty much empty. He looked around the place to see if there were any ponies at all, but he couldn’t find a single one. The only ones in the building were the staff and they acted professional with the low amount of patrons. He was pulled from his investigation when a stallion cleared his throat.

“Are you Sir Blake?” The stallion asked as he looked at the human.

“Yes I am, but please, call me Blake,” Blake answered with a small smile.

The stallion nodded as he led the human to an available table. He was placed outside on a balcony that was greatly illuminated by Luna’s light. He couldn’t help but shake his head as he knew the blue alicorn was trying to make the date perfect. He assured them many times over that everything would be fine and no matter the outcome, he was going to make it enjoyable for the mare. He looked down to see his watch and it was fifteen minutes till seven. Seeing the amount of time he had left, he grabbed his menu and started to look it over.

He studied every dish that was on the menu and it contained the usual that he saw on most menus. The menu contained a variety of salads, soups, and other treats that really didn’t have meat. He was surprised when he reached the back of the menu and saw the different meat dishes. He noticed a small note at the bottom and it mentioned that all the meat foods were prepared by a griffon chef. He wanted to order something from the meat section, but decided against it after having his fill of meat yesterday and not grossing out his date.

He put his menu down and decided on a simple Caesar salad. He saw a quick flash of light at the front and looked inside to see what it was. He was surprised to see Fleur show up wearing the sexiest dress he had ever seen. The dress hugged every curve of her body, showing how well she kept in shape. There was a long cut up along the right side that stopped barely short of where her stocking ended. Her breasts were even perkier as the top of her dress held the up and together. The back was completely open and he could see she wasn’t wearing a bra. He could only assume the tightness of the dress was the only thing keeping it up since the straps looked to flimsy to hold it up.

He quickly shook his head before the sexy unicorn could turn around and think he was ogling her like a sex object. He looked back over to see a stallion enter in the building and assumed it was her date. The stallion was a unicorn like her and he seemed dressed for any occasion. His coat was a light gray while his mane and tail were a light azure. He had a monocle over his left eye and both eyes were light azure as well. He was able to identify his magic aura as light gamboge from the quick use of his magic to fix his purple bowtie.

He wore a grey tuxedo jacket with a white tuxedo shirt underneath. The stallion wore a matching pair of black slacks with black dress shoes. The stallion that greeted the human before spoke with them a bit before leading them through the empty building. Fleur noticed the human sitting out on the balcony and whispered something to the stallion. Blake saw him give a small nod, but was confused as to why they were walking towards him. Being polite, the human got up and greeted the model and her date as they stood next to him.

“Hello, Fleur, it’s nice to see you again,” Blake said as he shook her hand.

“Very nice to see you as well,” Fleur said as she gave him a hug after shaking his hand. The human tensed from the sudden hug, but let her do her own thing.

“So who’s your date?” Blake asked as the mare finally let go of him.

“Date?” Fleur asked with a raise brow.

“The stallion next to you,” Blake said as he pointed to the stallion.

“Oh, that isn’t my date. This is my brother,” Fleur said as she gave a small giggle.

“The name is Fancy Pants. It’s a pleasure to meet you,” Fancy started as he extended a hand.

“Blake and it’s nice to see you as well. I didn’t know Fleur had a brother,” Blake said as he chuckled nervously.

“You never asked,” Fleur said as she continued to giggle.

“True. So what brings you here?” Blake asked.

“I’m just dropping off my sister for some dinner before heading back home and finish packing before I leave,” Fancy said.

“What is it that you do?” Blake asked.

“I’m a head member in multiple charity drives and I’m needed host one in Manehattan in a couple days,” Fancy explained.

“Well, I wish you a safe trip,” Blake said.

“Thank you, but may I ask what you’re doing here? Shouldn’t you be protecting the princesses from harm or keeping your friends out of trouble?” Fancy joked with a small smile.

“Where did you hear something like that?” Blake asked with a raised brow.

“Fleur was telling me about all that happened yesterday, along with some other things as well about you and your friends,” Fancy started.

“I hope it was all good compliments,” Blake said as he felt nervous around the stallion.

“Coming from her, I’d say she finds you all very helpful. There are a few nobles around that have been getting a little dangerous with their gossip, but I prefer to talk to the ponies they are talking about first,” Fancy explained as he offered a comforting smile.

“I’m not much for protecting the princesses, but I like to think I’ve done some help. Helping my friends is something I’m used to because trouble always seems to find us,” Blake said as he started laughing to himself and was joined by the two unicorns.

“What are you doing by yourself here anyways?” Fleur asked as she controlled her laughter.

“The princesses set me up on a blind date, but,” Blake started as he looked at his watch to see the time. “My date seems to be running fifteen minutes late.”

“I’m sorry to hear that. Would you like me to keep you company?” Fleur asked with a caring smile.

“I haven’t eaten anything yet and since you’re hear for the same reason, I would enjoy your company,” Blake said as he offered her a seat.

“I should be heading out now. It was great meeting you, Blake. I hope I can meet the rest of your friends later on,” Fancy said as he waved goodbye.

Blake and Fleur waved goodbye to Fancy as he walked out of the door. Once the door was closed, the human took his own seat across from the mare. He noticed the unicorn looking through her menu and decided to do the same. He wasn’t really looking for something to eat like she probably thought he was doing, but was making note on what to try if he ever came back to this restaurant. He was distracted in his own thoughts that he didn’t notice the supermodel move her chair next to his.

He placed his menu down and when he looked over to his left, he jumped a little. Fleur was sitting next to him, but she was giving off a friendly smile. If it wasn’t for the few times the princesses did the same, he would have reacted the same way he always did before. He took a deep breath to easily calm himself. It didn’t take long for a waitress to arrive and take their orders.

“Do you need another minute?” The mare asked.

“I think we’re ready. I would like a Caesar salad, please,” Blake said.

“I would like the same as well, but I would also like an order of garlic breadsticks,” Fleur said.

The mare gave a gentle nod as she placed a bottle of wine in an ice bucket on the table. She also placed to wine glasses upside down before giving a small curtsy and walking away. The human was never much of a person to drink a fruity alcoholic drink, but he made an exception for tonight. He grabbed a glass and started to fill it with the red liquid. A few bad memories ran through his head, but he easily pushed them aside so they wouldn’t ruin the night.

He offered the half-filled glass to the mare and she graciously accepted it. He watched her pale pink aura grab hold of the glass and lift it to her side. He filled his own glass and placed the bottle back in the bucket so it would remain chilled. The two sat in silence and passed the time by idly sipping their wine. The human had to fight himself a few times from having a coughing fit as he drank the fruity drink.

It didn’t take long before their food arrived and they were left in peace. The two ate in silence as they enjoyed the food. Looking at the garlic breadsticks, he reached out and grabbed one. He looked over to see the mare move the basket closer to him so he could have another if he wanted. He took a second breadstick and put them on his salad plate. Fleur grabbed the last two and seemed to enjoy them.

They were halfway through eating when the mare returned with the check. Fleur took the paper in her magic, but stopped when Blake took the paper himself. Her brow raised as she watched the human pull out a bag and place the bits on the table. He placed enough to pay for the bill and added a tip for the mare and stallion. He put his bag away and saw the curious look that the mare had.

“You okay?” Blake asked.

“You just paid for my meal?” Fleur asked.

“Well, of course. I invited you to join me and I was supposed to be on a date as well,” Blake said.

“Mares usually pay though,” Fleur stated.

“I know, but I don’t like not being to do something. I understand that mare do a lot of the things here, but from my world, men usually did those things. I didn’t mean to offend you if I did,” Blake said with slight worry.

“I’m not offended, but it was different. Your culture must have many differences compared to ours,” Fleur stated.

“There is a vast difference between our two worlds,” Blake said in a joking manner.

“You mind telling me as you walk me home?” Fleur asked.

“Already catching on fast. I could tell you about my world,” Blake said as he helped the mare from her seat.

The moon was high in the sky as the human walked the stunning mare back to her home. The walk started out quiet as they tried to pick a starting point for their conversation. He noticed the mare shake a little and it did feel a little cold to him as well. He took off his jacket and placed it on Fleur’s shoulders. He looked forward and didn’t notice the mare take a deep inhale of his jacket. It took a few moments before Fleur found a topic to start with.

“I heard around town that you and a couple of your friends have special powers,” Fleur started.

“You’ve heard correctly. Luke has super speed and has been practicing his second power which is his armor. Andrew has acid powers. Marcus has thermal vision along with his claw hand and whip arm. I have regeneration,” Blake explained.

“You, Marcus, and Andrew don’t have a second power?” Fleur asked.

“We haven’t figured out what they are yet. We’ve been training together or alone, but we may need some special circumstance to activate them,” Blake explained.

“With your regeneration powers, are you immortal like the princesses?” Fleur continued.

“No, but my life span is much longer than my friends,” Blake said with a slight frown.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to make you feel bad,” Fleur said with her ears drooped down.

“You don’t need to be sorry. I need to talk about this and maybe mentioning it to someone that can relate a little might make it easier to talk about with the princesses,” Blake said as he placed a hand on her shoulder.

“Can you be killed?” Fleur asked.

“You ask some very interesting questions for a pony. I always believed that everyone here didn’t like to talk about the concept of death,” Blake mentioned.

“Most ponies don’t like to talk about it, but I learned because of my job. Griffons have a lot of respect for the dead and I learned so I wouldn’t offend them. After learning about their traditions, my views have kind of changed,” Fleur explained.

“Interesting, but now to answer your question. I can die, but it’s very hard for it to happen. The only way I understand it is that I would have to be destroyed on the molecular level to fully be killed. My friends have regeneration, but it isn’t as advanced as mind and so they require my help to heal from serious wounds,” Blake explained.

“Can I see it in action?” Fleur asked with general curiosity.

“I don’t know. I would have to cause harm to my body and I don’t know if you want to see that,” Blake said as he rubbed the back of his head nervously.

“This wouldn’t be the first time if seen somepony hurt. Griffons fight a lot and you get used to the sight of blood. If you don’t want to do show me that’s fine. I was just curious to see how your power works,” Fleur said.

“I guess I can give a quick demonstration,” Blake said hesitantly.

The human pulled out the knife that he brought with him and slowly cut along his arm. His cut started from the crook of his elbow and continued down to half his forearm. His teeth were clenched tightly as he felt the cold steel cut against his flesh, but was glad that Fleur seemed understanding with what was happening. He remember showing the same thing to the princesses and it was glad to find another pony that could look past it being disgusting and something interesting to witness.

He stopped cutting his arm and pulled the knife out as he presented his wound. Nothing happened for several seconds, but a gasp from Fleur showed that it was starting. Black tendrils and ooze seeped from the cut and started pulling at the skin. He could feel the pull on his skin, but it felt like a feather running along the wound. The tendrils pulled the skin together and the ooze hardened over the closed skin. The ooze quickly hardened and after a few seconds, the ooze started to peel off in one piece.

Once the ooze was fully peeled, the mare looked at his arm again. No trace of blood or even the cut along his arm remained. The unicorn continued to look his arm over, trying to find anything to prove that what she saw wasn’t real. She looked up at the human who was grinning at her.

“That reaction never gets old,” Blake joked.

“That’s because our healing magic can’t pull this off. It can do many things, but being able to heal that fast just isn’t possible,” Fleur said as she continued to stare at him in shock.

The human patted the mare’s head as they continued down the road. They were silent for the rest of the travel, but the constant look back from Fleur didn’t go unnoticed. They soon reached the mare’s house and he opened the gate for her. Fleur smiled at him as she passed him, but soon stopped. The human stared at her curiously as she leaned towards him. He was about to ask her what she was doing when her soft lips pressed against his.

His eyes went wide as she held her lips against his for several seconds before slowly parting. She looked back at him, a sultry smile on her lips as she whispered hotly into his ear.

“Thanks for the lovely night,” Fleur said as she gave a quick lick to his ear lobe.

The human stood stock still as the mare entered her house. The gate closed with a silent clang as everything moved around him slowly. His brain was able to catch up and he started cheering internally. He started running down the sidewalks as he continued to jump in the air and fist pump. He found a nearby yard that he could cut through to get back to the castle and took it. He jumped up as he grabbed the fence to vault over.

His swing over was going fine until the fence fell over. He hit the ground with a small thud, but quickly jumped to his feet. He looked around to see if anyone saw him fall down. Seeing that there was no one nearby, he dusted off his clothes and headed back for the castle. His walk slowed down as the words the mare said to him settled in. He stopped in the middle of the side walk as he looked back in the direction Fleur lived.

Blake walked back to the castle in stunned silence. The words Fleur told him still spun around in his head and he just couldn’t process them. He wasn’t expecting the princesses to hook him up with a mare that did so much every day. She was a supermodel and an international advisor for the princesses, yet she found the time to go on a date with him. Even more surprising to him was that she kissed him on the lips and was looking forward to spending more time with him.

If he was in a dream, he never wanted to be woken up because this dream was lovely to him. He entered the castle and headed for his room. He looked down at his watch to see that he was out later than usual. He opened his door and saw the two princesses asleep on his bed. He shook his head slightly as he started to change into a pair of sleeping pants. Both mares were out cold, but he could hear them slightly mumble his name.

He slithered into the little room that was offered in the middle as he made himself comfortable. It wasn’t long before he felt the mares wrap their arms and tails around him as they nuzzled him in their sleep. They both gave off warm smiles as they found their human safe and kissed each on the cheek before falling asleep in their grasp.
