James woke up to Fluttershy’s humming in the morning. It was calming and very beautiful to hear. James lifted up his shirt to see that his weapon materialized with him back to the real world. James pulled his shirt back down to hide his weapon and headed for downstairs. There he saw Fluttershy hovering in the air cleaning up her cottage. Fluttershy saw James standing there smiling at her and she came down to greet him. When Fluttershy landed James grabbed the back of her head and pulled her in for a passionate kiss. Fluttershy offered to make him some breakfast if he wanted but he politely declined because he needed to get back to the library. James left happy that all his friends have been so open with how they feel for him. James walked back to the library and entered to see Spike but he wasn’t alone. Spike was with Sweetie Belle but now there were two other fillies there with him.

“Hey Spike, who are your new friends there?” James asked gesturing to the two fillies. One was yellow with a red mane and tail. She had a bow tie in her hair to help keep it pulled back. She also wore farmers clothes that seemed similar to the attire that Applejack wore. The other filly was orange with a purple mane and tail. She had tiny wings showing that she was a pegasus and she carried a scooter next to her.

“Ah good morning James these are Sweetie Belle’s friends. This is Applebloom and Scootaloo.”

“Its so nice to meet ya. Ah heard so much about you from mah sister.” Applebloom walked up to James and gave him a good handshake. Even for a filly her strength was impressive because James lost the feeling in his hand that she shook. She also shook it so fast that his shoulder almost came right out of his socket.

“Hey there so you are the human that the ponies have been talking about. I can see why they like you so much but I want to know who you think the coolest pony is here in Ponyville.” Scootaloo looked at James with an inquiring eye to see how he would respond to the question.

“In terms of who the coolest pony that resides here in Ponyville I would have to say Twilight.” James was then quickly tackled to the ground by Scootaloo and she looked at him with fire in her eyes.

“How can you say that? The only cool pony that lives here is Rainbow Dash. There is nopony cooler or more awesome than her.”

“Well then I guess we have differing opinions on who the coolest pony is.” James just looked at Scootaloo as he tried to hold back a chuckle seeing that Scootaloo probably saw Rainbow Dash as a big sister. Scootaloo stayed on top of James until she was pulled off by Sweetie Belle and Applebloom so James could get up. Once James was up he gave them a small wave and went for his room. When he entered he shut his door and locked it so that nopony would come in and see what he was hiding. He unbuckled his holster and pulled open one of his drawers that held the presents that he got everypony. He moved the presents aside and opened a secret compartment that he built. He placed his gun inside carefully and quietly not wanting to make any noise. After it in he covered it back up and he walked over to his door and unlocked it to allow anypony entrance.

James learned that over time not many ponies believed in knocking. It was a good thing he was never really doing any embarrassing but got scared a couple of times because he didn’t know somepony came in. The worst scare that he had was when Twilight came in when James was looking through his phone at some old pictures of friends, family, and squadmates. She came up behind him and gave him a big hug to which he reacted by jumping out of his seat and falling to the floor hitting his head on a bookshelf. Twilight just laughed at his misfortune and James couldn’t help but laugh also since Twilight didn’t really mean any harm by it.

James went over to a desk that he built and placed his sketchpad on it. He went over to a pencil case that he had and pulled out a few pencils and a handful of colored pencils. He returned to the desk and went straight to drawing the house that he wants to live in. He designed a spacious living room that could hold at least twenty ponies. In the middle would be couches in a half circle and three coffee tables in front of them. Near the end of the wall was a fireplace. There would be a master bedroom that could hold fifteen ponies. Then there is his personal room that he would use for sleeping and work that he may have. Next to his personal room would be Spitfire’s and it would be outlined in with yellow, orange, and red paint. Her bed will be queen sized and shaped in the way of her cutie mark. On the other side would be Fluttershy’s room and it would have an earthy design to it. There would be special placed windows that would be used to get enough sunlight on any plants that would be in there. Pinkie’s room would be across Fluttershy’s and would contain pictures of sweets and candy from all over. In the back would be a special animal holding pen for all of Fluttershy’s animals since she wouldn’t leave them alone no matter the reason. As he was finishing up the preliminary sketches of the house his phone started ringing. He looked at it and saw that it was Octavia calling. James hasn’t been able to see her much since she was practicing with orchestra for the Grand Galloping Gala that was coming up next month at the end of January.

“Hey Octavia what do you need?”

“Hey James I was just wondering if you would like to accompany me to an orchestra show that is happening in Canterlot?” James loved classical music but didn’t want to go to Canterlot because of all the stares that he gets from all those snobbish ponies. James was sure that they only stared at him because they probably heard how he would be a smart ass to the princesses. James just found it funny though because it seemed like they needed to be knocked down a few levels. Though most of the time James was alone in Canterlot so maybe if he was with somepony that was very well known like Octavia they may not look at him so badly.

“I would love to go with you Octavia. So when do we leave for Canterlot?” James’ ear was completely assaulted by a girlish squeal from the cellist.

“The train leaves for Canterlot in one hour. You don’t have to dress up or anything just make sure you look presentable.” James was happy to accompany Octavia to something that she really liked and it would be good to catch up at least. James took a shower and put on a shirt with Octavia’s cutie mark and a good pair of black jeans that he hasn’t worn yet. James looked over at his knife that was sitting on the table and decided that there was no reason to bring it with him tonight. He exited his room and went downstairs to see Twilight and Trixie having tea and having a good laugh about something.

“Hey girls what so funny?” James asked smiling at the two who halted their laughter and blushed.

“Nothing that you need to know. Its just us mares being mares. Though where are you headed though.”

“I’m headed to Canterlot with Octavia to go see a little orchestra show. I will probably be back sometime tomorrow morning.” Twilight and Trixie just smiled and waved him goodbye as he left the library. James walked down the streets to the train station to meet up with Octavia. Cold weather was weird here in Equestria. It was cold to where James could feel it but not cold enough that he needed some form of jacket to keep warm. Though he wasn’t sure if ponies were able to bear it as much as he did so he brought his hoodie in case Octavia got cold.

James arrived at the train station with twenty minutes to spare and saw Octavia sitting on a bench waiting for. James walked over and greeted the cellist. Octavia smiled up at him glad to see that he arrived. James sat down next to her and waited for the train to arrive. He noticed Octavia shiver next to him. Without saying anything James placed his hoodie around her and held her close. Octavia blushed furiously at this action because she wasn’t expecting it to happen. When James wasn’t looking Octavia took a huge inhale of the hoodie to capture James’ scent. The train arrived on time and James and Octavia flashed their tickets to the usher and put themselves in a cart where they could be alone. The train ride to Canterlot takes about four hours so to pass the time they both decided to take a nap.

Dream Realm

James was floating in mid air watching over his squad. They were at the Vatican now getting set up. James was up on the hill getting a vantage point of the building. Though James preferred using a R-700 sniper he had to go with a barrette .50 caliber in case he needed to shoot through the walls. Demarco and Connor stood in the forest waiting for Jacob, Blake, and David to signal the start. Jacob, Blake, and David were outside the entrance to the underground facility to weapons storage. They placed a breach charge on the door and got into position. James looked through his infrared scope to keep track of all the soldiers walking through the building. The charge went off and Blake threw in a flash bang. Jacob and David used their silence UMP’s to take out the four guards guarding the door. After the charge went off the two guards that were guarding the back entrance went to go investigate. Once they were gone Demarco and Connor ran up towards the door and got ready for the fight that might ensue.

“Okay Demarco and Connor once you are inside you’re on your own for the next few minutes because I can’t get eyes on where you are.”

“Don’t worry James I’ll keep Demarco in line so we can get this done smoothly before they even realize what is going on.”

“Hey I told you all that I would follow through with the plan now that I finally met someone that finally grew a pair to talk back to me.” Everyone just laughed at this because of how easy it was to get Demarco to follow simple rules if they just stood up to him to show they respected him. James started to pick off guards from the room and balconies to help make a clear path for everyone. Everything was going smoothly until there was a loud explosion in the lower part of the Vatican.

Real World

James woke up to Octavia rubbing small circles on his chest. He looked outside the window to see they were getting close to Canterlot. James let out a yawn as he tried to wake himself up from his nice little slumber. When the train arrived at Canterlot Octavia hooked her arm around James’ and lead him down the street to the music hall. James couldn’t help but notice that Octavia was shivering for some reason. She was still wearing his hoodie so she couldn’t be cold so James just assumed that she was probably nervous. James got closer to Octavia to show that she didn’t need to be nervous about anything.

They arrived at the concert hall and it was still pretty big compared to others even though it was hosting a small little orchestra that was playing. They walked inside and took their seats in the middle row. James and Octavia held hands together as they waited for the orchestra to be ready. After about fifteen minutes the building was full of ponies that wanted to see the orchestra play. The conductor showed up on stage and was tuning everypony to make sure that they were prepared. Once tuning was done the hall lights dimmed and focused on the orchestra. After what felt like hours the orchestra began to play. The melody was soft and simple but quickly picked up in pace and complexity. James never heard music like this so beautifully before. The orchestra played through the night not letting a single pony feel some type of emotion before they finished. James felt himself tear up a couple of times during their songs and he wasn’t the only one, Octavia even had tears of happiness in her eyes from the performance. They left the concert hall and went for a walk around town. The train station was closed until morning so they needed a place to stay till tomorrow.

James and Octavia walked through a park just enjoying the night together. Through this walk Octavia at some point wrapped her raven black tail around his leg and wouldn’t let go. James was fine with this since it allowed Octavia to feel safe and calm when around James. They looked up to the moon and stars and enjoyed the quiet darkness that has filled Canterlot. Octavia lead James to a hotel that held a room for her at all times if she was ever in Canterlot. They walked up to the front desk and Octavia gave her name and profession that she did. The mare working the front desk smiled and handed her the key card to her room. They entered the elevator and Octavia turned around and planted her lips on James’. James returned the kiss in earnest to make her happy. Her tongue was prodding his lips for entrance and James was more than happy to oblige. Her tongue slithered into his mouth and she moaned at the foreign feeling of his mouth. Their tongues wrestled for dominance and James was winning but Octavia was stronger than she looked. The elevator reached the top that held the penthouse suite that they were staying in.

Octavia walked over to the door and unlocked it leading James inside. James was surprised to say the very least at how big it was. The suite held its own little kitchen and living room and there were three bedrooms that had their own bathrooms. Octavia pulled James over to the master bedroom and sat him down on the bed. She took off the dress that she was wearing and was now standing naked in front of James. James went to take his clothes off but was stopped by Octavia.

“James before we do anything I would like to play for you.” Octavia walked over to the closet and pulled out her cello. She wanted to play a concert piece that she created just for James. James was more than happy to listen to the music. Octavia pulled up a chair and started tuning her cello. Once tuned she started to play and it was fascinating. James was able to picture the movie that she was trying to make and it looked wonderful. James could see him and Octavia standing near the edge of a cliff with the waves crashing against it. They stood there together hand in hand and leaned in very close. When they were close enough to each other they kissed deeply.

Octavia finished her music and went to put away her cello. As she put it away James went ahead and took his clothes off. After everything that she did James was going to allow Octavia to lead what she wanted tonight. Octavia turned around and couldn’t help but blush at James. She walked back over and got on her knees and started stroking his manhood. Her hands were magnificent as she stroked him with a masterful touch. He could feel all the pleasure through his member more than he ever had. Once he was standing fully erect Octavia wrapped her lips around him and began humming as she bobbed up and down on his cock. The hand job that he got from Octavia left him pretty close to his peak that not long into her sucking him did he feel his pressure build.

“Octavia I’m about to cum.” She picked up her pace and when she was at the top slammed all the way down to his base making him shoot his seed right down her throat. She was so deep that he didn’t hear her swallow as it all went straight down. Octavia pulled her mouth off with a wet pop and looked at James with hungry eyes. James knew what she wanted so he scooted back so he could lay down on the bed. Octavia climbed on top of him and lined up his shaft with her marehood. Looking at each other Octavia slowly inserted him into her. Once in she slammed herself all the way down before James could say anything about her being a virgin.

James held her flanks as she sat atop of him letting her body adjust to him. After a few seconds she started her journey back up as she did so James traced her cutie mark making her moan loudly. They started slow but were able to get the pace to quicken.

“James I want you to make me scream for you. Please take me as your own.” Accepting her request James rolled them over so now he was on top and she was on the bottom. Her tail wrapped around his waist and she put her legs around him. She wasn’t going to let go until she had James buck her silly. James started to thrust harder now to het Octavia to scream tot the heavens. Octavia’s breathing was becoming heavy and staggered.

“James… James… JAMES!” Octavia screamed his name as loudly as she could so that if anypony was hearing this they would know that she was now claimed by somepony. As Octavia had her orgasm her walls clenched strongly against his cock and he couldn’t hold it any longer.

“Octavia I going to cum here soon.”

“Just put it all inside me. I can take it all.” James gave one last thrust and he shot his seed deep inside of her. James was panting heavily know and fell next to Octavia. He pulled the covers over them and Octavia nuzzled into his neck. Not needing to share any words about how they felt for each other they decided to let sleep take them over and enjoy each others embrace.
