It was another normal afternoon in the Golden Oaks library, but normal only extended so far for the human that was living there. Alex was on the ground, looking up at what little ceiling he could see. Twilight believed that today was a good day to reorganize her books and put up the new ones she had ordered. It was a simple task at first, but soon became complicated when he fell off the ladder and became buried by books.

The human could only let out a deep sigh as he slowly moved the books out of his way. He could see a few of the books wrapped in a lavender aura, signifying that the lavender unicorn was helping to free him. This wasn’t the first time he was buried under the books and it probably wouldn’t be the last either. The human took a quick glance to his right to see Spike was helping to free him from his book fort. It took a few minutes, but after that time had passed, he was finally free and back to work around the library.

“Thanks for the help, Spike,” Alex thanked as he shook the drake’s hand.

“No problem, Alex. Now you see why I hate that ladder,” Spike said as he smiled at the human.

“Yeah, I can’t believe that either one of us hasn’t been seriously hurt from falling down that high. I think we would be better of burning that thing and getting a new one that won’t try to kill us every time we climb it,” Alex stated as he gave a small chuckle.

“I’ve tried telling Twilight that, but she keeps saying that it’s not the ladder’s fault and that we need to be more careful,” Spike replied as he gave a slight eye roll.

“I guess we’ll just have to make it disappear and I’ll pay for a new one,” Alex said as he and the drake gave each other a fist bump.

It was true what they were saying though. The ladder has caused many accidents for the poor human and drake, but Twilight didn’t think it was the object’s fault. Spike only fell down because he would try to reach out instead of moving closer to the shelf. Alex only fell because of his girlfriend. The librarian wasn’t very forward with her emotions at points, but she could be a really big tease when she wanted to be. The human could only blame Cadance for that because it didn’t start this way until the pink alicorn stopped by one day for a visit.

The human put up with it though since it was nice to see the bookworm come out of her shell even more. The mare made sure to be subtle with her teasing, so as to not scar Spike and made it hard for the human to work. He would feel her magic envelop his body slightly and slowly start to tickle him. The feel was always a light feather stroke and he always had to bite his lower lip to avoid laughing out loud.

Those type of teases were during the times the young drake was around. When the dragon was gone, however, she took it up a couple of notches. Her magic would move to his lower areas and slowly arouse him. He would feel the magic run along his groin and inner thigh, but never going anywhere near his private area. The human would groan in frustration as he was pushed very far, but never given any release. He fought through it though as he used his training with Luna to easily get back at her.

He couldn’t help the slight chuckle that escaped his lips as he remembered one particular night that he got back at her. It was a few nights ago when the librarian really teased him to the edge, but never finished him off. He waited until the bookworm went to bed before putting his plan into action. After he heard their bedroom door close, he gently moved around the library to get everything set up. He went between the bookshelves pulling out a few random books from here and there.

He would replace those books with blank books that had ripped out pages. He knew that it was a slightly cruel prank, but sometimes one needs to fight fire with fire. After removing a good amount of books from their shelves, he left to join his mare in bed. An ecstatic grin spread across his lips as the mare hugged him close and he fell asleep to her gentle breathing.

Morning came around and he felt the mare shift out of bed. He feigned that he was still asleep as he rolled to his side to see the time. The clock read six in the morning and he gave a small smile as everything fell on schedule. He heard the shower turn on and could hear his mare humming to herself. He loved to hear her hum when she was happy. When she was happy, he was happy. The running water soon turned off and he could smell the slight lavender soap that lingered on his mare.

He heard her footsteps walk away and slowly slinked out of bed. He tiptoed his way to the stairwell and peeked around to watch his mare. Twilight went over to the bookshelves and noticed that a few of them were out of place. Giving a slight scowl, she started pulling out the books that were sticking out. She looked at the cover to see there was no name on the book and grew curious. The human knew there was one thing the librarian loved more than him and that was her books.

He couldn’t help his fidgeting as he watched the mare take the books near the couch. He could already feel his laughter building up as it neared its bursting point. He continued to watch as the mare picked up the first book and slowly opened it. This was the he was waiting for and it would be everything he ever wanted in his revenge. He had to cover his mouth as he watched his girlfriend’s face start to pale. The lavender unicorn’s body trembled in her seat as she looked inside the book.

There was only a few seconds of silence before a loud scream disrupted the peacefulness of Ponyville. All the birds that were out and chirping to bring joy to the rising sun was stopped. The gentle breeze that made the warm sun’s rays bearable stopped flowing as everything soon became still. Twilight’s shrill scream could be heard from all over the town as she started to frantically look through her books. Each one that she opened was the same as the last. All the pages were ripped from the books and she couldn’t understand who would do such an awful act.

The human couldn’t take it anymore as he fell to the floor and busted out laughing. Tears streamed down his face as he filled the library with his uproarious laughter. He looked down the stairs, his eyes bleary from the tears, but he could somewhat make out his mare staring at him. Her jaw was hanging open as she slowly processed what was going on. It took a few minutes, but the gears finally put everything into place. The lavender mare took a calming breath as she set the ruined book with the others and stood to her feet.

Her expression turned from shocked, to annoyed, then finally to anger. When she finally reached her anger, everything for the human changed. His mare’s fur turned white as her mane and tail caught fire. He immediately controlled his laughter as he rolled to his feet. He had never seen the librarian turn into something like this, but could easily see that this meant trouble. He was already running down the hall but easily noticed that he wasn’t going anywhere.

He saw that he was wrapped in a purple aura and looked over his shoulder at an angered Twilight. He was about to ask for mercy, but before he could utter a single word, he was knocked unconscious. The next thing he remembered was waking up in the hospital to have his friends and Redheart shaking his head at him. He easily noticed Twilight in the back of the group as she had her head and ears drooped. She was about apologize for her actions, but he stopped her as he took full blame for what he did. The mare gave him a small smile as she hugged him to show everything was fine.

After he was released from the hospital, his friends really let him have it for what he did. It was nonstop jokes from them and Drak easily got a good one in as well. If it was never a verbal joke, it was easily a well understanding one. Drak would give a pat to Alex’s shoulder as he gave him a knowing grin. That look spoke many things when used in certain situations and this time was no different. The look pretty much told him that he fucked up and was knocked out like a bitch.

Alex wanted to retort that look, but he couldn’t find anything to come back with. He just gave a huge sigh as he let his friends have fun before getting back to business. The human shook his head a bit as he cleared away those past thoughts. He accepted getting knocked out and knew that Twilight’s actions were justified in their own sense. Even then he would still do it again if the librarian teased him too far again.

The human went back to work when there was a knock at the door. Thankfully Spike left to answer so he could continue to work. He continued to place the books on the shelves as he lost himself in his own little world. It was never anything much, but it was usually his thoughts that would allow him to smile a little more. He would think about how much he and his friends would play and strong they’ve grown together. He was pulled from his thoughts though when he heard the young drake call out to him.

“Hey, Alex, do you mind getting Twilight? Tell her there are some guests that wish to see her,” Spiked said from downstairs, causing the human to sigh.

“Who thinks that they’re so important that they can’t tell us who they are?” Alex asked as he jumped down from the upper level.

“Is that anyway to speak to Twily’s family?” A familiar voice asked.

Not even waiting to see if anything else was said, the human walked up to the front door and pulled it open the rest of the way. He was greeted by four ponies standing outside. Two of them he recognized instantly while the other two he didn’t know. Cadance had a smile as she was giggling to herself while Shining had his arms crossed and gave the human a smug look. The human was surprised at first to see them, but quickly moved aside to let them.

“Thank you for that warm greeting,” Shining said, his voice dripping with sarcasm.

While the four ponies walked inside, Alex took the time to take in the features of the two unkown ponies. The mare on the left was older, but she seemed to take care of herself enough to pass for a young lady. Her coat was a light gray while her eyes were a light blue. Her mane and tail were moderate purple and light grey in an alternating pattern. She wore a simple sundress that had three purple stars along the hem. He could see the faint cerise aura that covered the doorknob and her horn.

The stallion on the left was clearly aged, but he wore it with pride. His coat was a grayish azure while his eyes were a brilliant amber. His mane and tail were a dark blue while his horn was glowing a light cornflower blue. The stallion was dressed in a dress shirt with a vest over it and buttoned up. On the vest was his cutie mark which was a large crescent moon with a smaller crescent moon inside of it. He wore slacks and he could see the stallion’s aura fixing the hem of his shirt.

“Who’s at the door, Alex?” Twilight called from her room.

“It’s your brother and old foalsitter. They also brought along two other ponies that I’ve never met,” Alex answered.

“Well, can you find out who they are while I finish up here?” Twilight asked. Alex was about to ask for their names when the mare held up her hand.

“Twilight Sparkle, you will come down here this instant and say hello to your parents!” The elder mare ordered.

Alex’s eyes widened as he stared at the mare in front of him. He looked over to see Shining smirking at him, but at the same time was trembling a little. He was pulled away from the unicorn when he heard things fall in Twilight’s room. A couple seconds passed before the lavender mare was running down the stairs with a huge smile on her face.

“Mother, father, it’s so great to see you,” Twilight said as she went to hug her mother, but was stopped by the older mare.

“You think that you can get yourself a coltfriend and tell your brother, but not your own parents?” The older mare said with a little hurt in her voice.

“Twilight, who exactly are they?” Alex asked as he stared at everyone that was gathered.

“Please, excuse my wife’s actions. She can sometimes be a little overdramatic. I’m Twilight’s father, Night Light. This is my lovely wife and Twilight’s mother, Twilight Velvet,” Night Light said.

“I take it that ‘Twilight’ is some sort of family name,” Alex noted.

“On my wife’s side of the family it is. If they have a daughter, then they have to fit the name ‘Twilight’ somewhere there,” Night Light explained.

“So you’re the young stallion that took my little one’s innocence,” Velvet said as she was right in front of the human.

Alex had no idea how to respond to that. He noticed behind the elder mare that Twilight was blushing profusely, Cadance was giggling to herself, and Shining was trying his best to not look the human’s way. He turned back around to see the mare glaring at him, waiting for an answer. A few seconds passed before he slowly nodded his head. The elder mare’s glare softened as it turned into pure joy.

“How wonderful. How long before I can expect some grandfoals?” Velvet asked without hesitation.

“Mom!” Twilight exclaimed in embarrassment.

“What’s wrong, deary? I just want to know if I’m going to be a grandmother at some point. I mean he did take you innocence and I’m pretty sure you’ve both been going at it like crazy since then,” Velvet said in a calm tone.

“Actually, we haven’t been doing it that often,” Twilight said in a small whisper.

“Why’s that? Does he need help learning how to pleasure mare? I would be more than happy to offer my assistance,” Velvet said like it was normal.

“What!” Alex yelled as he looked between Twilight and her mother.

“It’s nothing to be embarrassed about, dear. I know that it’s hard to sometimes please a mare, especially when you’re a different species. If you want, I can take him into another room so the others don’t have to see,” Velvet continued to offer in a calm voice.

“Are you really going to let your wife talk like this?” Alex asked as he looked over at Night Light.

“You should have seen her in her younger years. It took everything I had to get her to notice me and finally say yes when I proposed to her. You should also learn to take a joke,” Night Light said as he started chuckling to himself.

“You can’t be serious. There is no way that she was joking about all of that when she was looking so serious about it,” Alex said as he gestured to the mare.

“Of course I am, deary. I would never do anything that would hurt my young daughter. She’s a grown mare and I’m sure that she can any problem that either of you may encounter. I still want to know why you haven’t been trying to get me to be a grandmother yet,” Velvet said as she looked at her daughter.

“There’s a couple of reasons for that, mom. The first is being of how much of a different race he is compared to us. The other is because he and his friends have been dealing with their own sorts of problems,” Twilight explained as she pressed her fingers together nervously.

“The first shouldn’t be a problem though. We’ve seen griffons and dragons get ponies pregnant. So what makes this any different? Does it have to do with his equipment?” Velvet asked with a raised brow as she reached for Alex’s groin.

The human couldn’t move fast enough as he felt the mare fondle his groin. He looked over to Twilight as she blushed furious from her mom’s actions. He looked down to see Velvet focused on her actions and he really didn’t want to know what she was thinking. The elder mare’s hand fondled his groin for a few more seconds before finally pulling away.

“He seems like a healthy stallion. Different compared to other, but he seems able to give you the pleasure that you need,” Velvet said in a calm tone.

“I going to get a drink. Any want to join me?” Alex asked.

Twilight Sparkle

Shining and Night Light raised their hands as they left for the kitchen. The lavender mare watched at the human walked away with the two stallions before disappearing into the kitchen. Her attention turned back to her mother as she gestured for them to take a seat on the couch. The librarian let out a heavy sigh as she went to the couch and took her seat. Velvet and Cadance took their own seats in the separate chairs across from her. A silence settled between them for several seconds before being broken by Velvet.

“I know a lot about what your coltfriend and his friends have done,” Velvet said as she steadied her gaze on her daughter.

“How much do you know?” Twilight asked with a nervous look.

“I was told everything about when they first arrived to now. There are a few details missing, but I can fill those in pretty well,” Velvet answered as she summoned up some tea.

“Who told you?” Twilight asked as she looked down at her drink.

“Celestia, Luna, and Cadance,” Velvet answered. Twilight looked at her foalsitter with hurt eyes.

“I’m sorry, Twilight, but she needed to know before coming to visit you,” Cadance said as she took a drink from her cup.

“Are you angry with me?” Twilight asked, worried that her mother might disown her.

“Like I said before, you’re a grown mare, Twilight. You make the choices that will make you happy. Are you happy with everything so far?” Velvet asked as she reached over the small coffee table to grasp her daughter’s hand.

“I don’t regret a thing. I worry for him, but I know that he’ll be fine. I trust in him and his friends to take care of each other,” Twilight said as she gave small smile at her reflection.

“That’s good to hear. I was worried that you were feeling that you did something wrong,” Velvet said as she offered her daughter a smile.

“I thought I did when you told me that you knew everything,” Twilight said as she looked up at her mother with tear filled eyes.

“You can never do wrong, Twilight. If you make a bad choice, then I failed as a parent. I want you and Shiny to both be happy with your choices. You’re my daughter and I’ll always lover you no matter what you choose,” Velvet said as she pulled her daughter in for a hug.

“Remember, Twilight, I told her everything. I even told her about the strong feelings that all of you hold for each other,” Cadance added in.

“Did you tell anypony else about their past?” Twilight asked.

“I only told the ones that were going to meet the humans. Whether they brought up the information that they knew or not was up to them. I’ve always sensed the strong bond between all of you and seen how it has developed. There are also a few interesting things that I’ve noticed as well,” Cadance said as she gave a small chuckle.

“Like what?” Twilight asked.

“In due time, Twilight. Most of what I sensed is just a feeling. Whether it happens or not depends on if they can talk,” Cadance said as she offered a smile.

“Is there anything else that I can do for you, mom?” Twilight asked as her mood slowly lifted.

“Actually, you can. Tell me what that human is like in bed,” Velvet said with a smirk.

“Mom! You know I can’t tell you that,” Twilight said as her face exploded in a blush.

“Oh, come on. I need to know if he can keep you pleasured. You know that it’s the middle of summer, right?” Velvet said as she looked at her daughter.

“I’m very well aware of the time, mom. I just don’t know how to approach the subject,” Twilight explained as her cheeks remained red.

“Are any of them aware what happens during that time?” Velvet asked as she finished off her tea.

“Yes, but I think they’ve lost track of time after everything that has happened,” Twilight answered as she finished off her tea.

“Well, you better make sure that they remember because it seems like they wouldn’t like that surprise without any heads up,” Velvet offered.

“I know, but I just don’t want them to run away when they find out how close it is,” Twilight said with a little sadness.

“You really give them less credit than you should, Twilight. Those friends are very loving of all of you and I’m sure if you explain it to them, then I’m sure they won’t run away,” Cadance offered.

“I know, but Callie is the only one that doesn’t have to deal with this. She and Whooves will probably hang out at his house until the week is up,” Twilight said in slight frustration.

“True, but she also seems like the one not to miss a moment to get more time with her coltfriend,” Velvet said with a sly grin.

“I still don’t know how dad was able to handle you,” Twilight said as she rubbed the bridge of her nose.

“He showed me that he loved me. Remember, Twilight, that there is a difference between sex and love,” Velvet said as she moved closer to hug her daughter.

“I know, but it’s just so complicated to understand,” Twilight said as she hugged her mother.

“Love will always be like that, honey. That’s how you know that you’re in love. Now I think it’s time for all of us to go,” Velvet said as she kissed her daughter’s head.

“It was nice seeing you again, mom, Cadance,” Twilight said as she hugged them both.

After the three mares finished hugging, they went to the kitchen to get the males. They entered the kitchen to see all three of them passed out, bottles covering the table. Velvet let out a heavy sigh as she and Cadance grabbed their husbands and started carrying them out. They made sure to bump their heads a few times to make sure they know their mistakes when they wake up. The alicorn and elder mare said goodbye to the librarian one last time before closing the door. Once they were gone, Twilight looked over at Spike.

“Spike, it’s time for bed,” Twilight said in a soft voice.

The drake gave a long yawn as he started to trudge up the stairs. The lavender mare moved inside the kitchen to grab the passed out human and headed for their bed. She didn’t slam his head on anything as she found it nice to see him unwind. She noticed for the past couple of days that he was a little tense and wanted to let him relax better when morning came. She tucked the human in the bed as she grabbed a quill in paper.

Looking at the bed to make sure that the human was asleep, she started writing. There wasn’t much that she put on her checklist, but it was stuff that needed to be done. She finished her writing and did a quick double check to make sure that was everything she needed to do. It was only two items, but they were really important for the coming weeks. The first was to make sure that Alex got through his hangover and the other was to remind herself to tell him what was coming in fall.

Cadance and Velvet

“So what did you think about him?” Cadance asked.

“He’s a very nice stallion. A little on the shy side, but he means well. Twilight did well in picking him to be her partner,” Velvet answered as she grabbed the train tickets.

“What did you think about the others?” Cadance asked.

“They are very different from each other like you said they were,” Velvet answered as she took a seat next to the alicorn.

“Do you think any of them could have worked for your daughter?” Cadance asked as she held Shining close.

“They probably could have, but it seems Alex really finishes that puzzle. I have nothing against the others as I can see why they are with those certain mares,” Velvet said as she held her husband close.

“Did you have to be so up front with Alex though?” Cadance asked with a raised brow.

“A mare needs to have fun every now again. I must say that Twilight did get herself a nice catch. I wouldn’t mind going a night with the human to see what he is like,” Velvet said as she gave a small smirk.

“It amazes me still that Night Light was able to wing your heart,” Cadance said as she shook her head while giggling.

“It’s like I said and you know it to be true. He stole my heart when he confessed to me and I just couldn’t find a reason to turn him down. Twi got both of our smarts and it seems that human is able to keep her mind going,” Velvet said as she kissed her husband’s cheek.

“I do worry though,” Cadance admitted as she stood up from her seat as she saw the train in the distance.

“What do you worry about?” Velvet asked.

“I can’t explain it, but I have this feeling that a lot of bad things are going to happen. Just a single feeling alone in this town already has me worried. This isn’t the first time I sensed it, but I was hoping that it would already be solved,” Cadance explained as she looked out at the town.

“Sometimes you just need to have faith. I’ll tell you what I told Celestia when I worked for her and remember this was when Whooves was a regular visitor. The future is ever changing and even if something happens there is always a way to fix it. Whatever may happen can never be certain and the only thing you can do is have faith. As long as you have faith, then nothing bad will truly win,” Velvet offered as she smiled.

“Spoken like a true advisor of Celestia. To think that you both worked under her and never even spoke until he confessed to you,” Cadance said as he giggled.

“I was a bookworm just like Twilight until I found him. I may have gone out and partied, but I really had no idea what I was doing when he told me that he loved me. I have you to thank for bringing us together, princess,” Velvet said as she smiled at the alicorn.

“You both just needed a little push. Everything after your meeting was your own doing,” Cadance replied.

“Still, thank you for everything. You really were the one that we could trust when Celestia chose my little Twily to be her student. If you ever need anything, please don’t hesitate to ask,” Velvet offered.

“Maybe try not to molest Alex so much. He really had no idea how to act with your forwardness,” Cadance said.

The two mares laughed as the alicorn boarded the train. Velvet waved goodbye as the doors closed and the train whistled for its departure. Once the train was gone, the unicorn sat on the bench as she waited for her own train to arrive.
