He was walking slowly, still thinking about what Lyra might have in store for him. Though that kept making him think about other things as well. Was all of this going too fast? First, his relationships between the three mares became more than just friends in just the past week or two, and then there are his wings.

The thing he could honestly put it off as is life can sometimes move that fast without someone realizing it. That's why he wanted to take things a bit more slowly now with his marefriends. But could he really say no if one of them actually did want to move that fast? After all, he does love all three of them to almost the point of being dependent on them.

But that just led to the realization that he was depending on them a little too much as of late. Granted part of that was out of his control but did he really want to be completely dependent on them? No, he didn't otherwise what's the point of having a relationship if one is completely dependent? From what he knew, that usually ended up bad for someone.

"Equestria to Brandon!"

Then what was he going to do if he was becoming that dependent on them? He could just always talk to them about it, and hopefully, they'll understand where he's coming from. Though his main concern right now is Lyra, what if she's still upset? He really didn't like being the cause of pain of any kind.

"Will you snap out of it!" He suddenly felt a pair of lips on his breaking him out of thought.

"L-lyra?" He stammered.

"Sorry, I needed to snap you out of your head. I know how you get when you start to think about something too much." Lyra said, giving him a bit of a wink. "Now, what's bothering you?"

"I-it's something we can talk about later, but I thought you had some sort of surprise?" He asked giving her a concerned look.

"Don't worry, I'm not upset, may be disappointed a little now, but not upset. As Derpy said, you're old enough to make your own decisions. As for my surprise, can you just wait a minute? I have a couple of things to get ready still." Lyra gave him a pleading look making him give a sigh.

"It's the least I could do after making you upset, but can you at least tell me what this surprise is?" He asked already knowing the answer.

"Nope, otherwise it won't be a surprise would it?" She said walking back into the house.

"Guess not, but at least tell me it's not what I think you're planning?" He asked.

"And what do you think I'm planning?" She asked turning back around to look at him in a bit of a seductive manner.

"You know what I'm thinking Lyra, it's not that kind of surprise right?" He asked, feeling a little nervous.

"Please, I know you. You wouldn't do that even if I do try to seduce you, I know you wouldn't want to this early in a relationship." She said, giving a little chuckle. "But that won't stop me from at least making sure you know I'm not going to leave you." At that, she walked back the few steps and gave him another kiss, only this one lasting longer and feeling more natural.

"W-well, you, um, better get that surprise ready." He said his face a bright red as he fought with his wings, making Lyra laugh all the way inside. "Great, now I have to stand out here like this until she says to come in."

After a minute though, he finally managed to get his wings down but that still wasn't fast enough. For after a few seconds of waiting, part of the weather team came flying by and he could see some of them looking his way and busting out laughing. Though that's what he gets for doing the same to some of the pegasi around town.

"So, you ready to see what your surprise is?" Once again his wings extended as he heard Lyra whisper in his ear. "Okay, that time I wasn't trying to get that to happen."

"I-I know, but you rubbed against a sensitive spot." He said, making her giggle a little.

"Please, your whole wing is sensitive that's why I was trying to avoid touching them. Despite how beautiful I think they are," she said eyeing his extended wings. "I mean, I really like the coloring on them."

"Lyra, remember our deal." He said giving her a slight glare, making her give a sigh.

"Fine, at least come in and see the surprise." She said, waving a hoof for him to follow, and once inside he was stunned into silence. "So, what do you think? Luna bought it before she left and said we could use."

"Lyra, how do you even know how to set up one of these?" He asked, going over to what he automatically knew was a movie projector.

"Please, these things are super easy to set up. I just figured I would take our first date into my own hooves, so do you like it?" She asked and looking at him her smile started to disappear. "What's the matter? I thought you would like to watch a home movie with me?"

"I would Lyra, but it's just I wanted to plan out the first date for each of you three to show how much I appreciate how much each of you means to me for what you guys did." He said, feeling a little more disappointed. "In a matter of fact, not that I don't mind this, but this is part of my problem."

"What do you mean part of your problem?" She asked.

"It's something I want to talk to all three of you together, but I really do appreciate this Lyra just know that. And I would really like to watch a movie with my best friend and marefriend." He said giving her a huge grateful smile.

"Not until you tell me what problem you have with me setting this up for us?" She said, giving him a glare.

"Lyra, that part of my problem I really just want to talk to all three of you at once." He replied.

"Well, can you at least tell me what the other part of your problem is?" She asked.

"Lyra..."

"Brandon, please if it's bothering you then you should at least talk to somepony about it. I don't see why that somepony can't be me?" She said.

"Fine, the other part of my problem is, well, I wanted to know if y-you think w-we're moving too fast?" He asked, shrinking back a little.

"What do you mean?" She replied.

"I-I mean with how everything is going, do you think we're going to fast with our relationship? I mean, first Luna moved in and admitted her feelings to me, then you admitted your feeling to me and moved in, and then I admitted my feelings for Derpy. That all happened in a matter of two days, then with what happened with me and Derpy. I'm just afraid everything is moving too fast," he admitted.

"Brandon, we can go as fast as we want. It's our life, it's our choice if you think we're moving too fast then tell the others as well and we can all slow down. That's why I wasn't planning on making that kind of move on you because I already knew you would be thinking something like that. I mean what kind of best friend would I be if I didn't have that figured out?" She asked, giving him a poke.

"Yeah, but still with everything else as well, it just feels like everything is going too fast. I mean, I know that's how life works sometimes, but still, everything just seemed to happen." He said giving a sigh as he sat down.

"Yup, that's life for you, one moment you're making out with one of your marefriends in front of your normal friends and then boom, instant wings. Though, one heck of a way to get your first wing boner." She said, sitting by him leaning against him.

"I'll say, but can we just watch a movie together now? I mean it does seem like you went through a bit of effort to set everything up and all." He said giving her a peck on the nose.

"Sure thing," she said returning the peck, but as she got up she felt something tug on her tail.

"What? I haven't pulled my Heartstrings in a little while," he said laughing as she rolled her eyes.

"Can I have my tailback?" She asked, and he just smiled and let go of her tail. "You do know if you want a view all you have to do is ask right?" That erased his smile but made her get one.

"I can't help it if you have a nice flank," he said under his breath and looked over to see the blush on her face as she walked to the movie projector.

"Alright, tonight we're showing a comedy, is that fine with you?" She asked, mostly to get things started.

"Sounds good to me," he said giving her a small smile.

It took a minute for her to actually get the movie projector to start playing, but as she did she levitated a bowl of popcorn out of the kitchen as she walked over to the couch. But before she sat down, he managed to grab her and made her sit in front of him. At first, she was confused until she felt his hands start to gently rub the back or her neck.

"Sorry, I figured you might want to be more comfortable watching the movie." He whispered in her ear as the movie ran the last ad.

"B-but what about you? Oh..." She said as he put a little more pressure in.

"I'm quite comfortable right here, just tell me if you get tired of sitting on the floor though." He said, as his hands kept up the pressure.

"W-well do you m-i... ohh that feels really good... mind if I lay down on the couch while you do this?" She managed to ask.

"I don't see why not?' He replied, and let her move to the couch where a majority of her body what laying across his lap.

"Hope you don't mind me using you like this," she said looking at him.

"It's fine, now let's actually watch the movie." He said, making both of them give a little chuckle, and soon he was going back to giving her massage and watching the movie.

They both seemed to be having a good time, Lyra giving little squeaks and moans after laughing a little. He couldn't help but laugh at both her and the movie, and by the time they ran out of popcorn, the movie was only half over. But neither one of them seemed to mind.

He felt her shift though but didn't put too much thought into it figuring she was just getting more comfortable. It definitely seemed like she was handling the massage better than Luna and Derpy. That was until he stopped for a few seconds for a break and she let out a quiet moan.

"So, are you enjoying the movie?" He asked.

"Uh-huh," she replied giving a moan again.

"And it looks like you're enjoying the massage," he said.

"I-it feels ama-zing," she said giving a surprised squeak when all of a sudden she found herself laying on her back.

"Just as I thought, caught in the act." He said disappointingly as he looked at where here hoof was.

"I-I...it just felt sooo good, I'm sorry I couldn't help myself." She said, completely red.

"You know, at least Luna asked me to stop, and Derpy made a move on me so I knew to tell her to stop. Yet, here you are touching yourself while laying on me. No wonder why you kept shifting throughout the movie." He said.

"I'm sorry," she tried.

"And I thought you said you wouldn't try anything to move this faster than I wanted." He said, putting a hand on her stomach.

"I know, but it really did feel really good, and I couldn't control myself." She said, trying to get more words out before he leaned over and gave her a gentle kiss.

"Lyra, I'm not mad, I may be a little disappointed, but by no means mad. If this is how fast you want to go, then who am I to deny a mare in need?" He said, as his hand slowly made it's way down.

"W-what are you d-doing?" She asked, her eyes going wide.

"Continuing the massage, of course, I think there's some tension down here that needs to be taken care of." He said, finally reaching her lower lips making her give a little squeak.

"I-I, b-but w-what about..." She tried, but words were lost as she let out a loud moan as he started to gently tease her.

"Like you said, that's life, it can go by that quickly. As for the others, I'll still talk to them. But again, like you said, this is our relationship, and we can choose how fast we go. Now just sit back and relax," he said slipping a finger into her lower lips that were practically creating a river.

He kept teasing her with his thumb by rubbing it against her button, making her squeak and moan even more as his other fingers continued to work. She was at a loss of words as he did though, and the only thing that she could do was just stare blankly at him as he smiled at her. His hands really did feel enchanted as he massaged the inside of her inner walls.

"You know, maybe Luna and Derpy were right. My hands must really feel good like they're enchanted if they're making you squirm, moan, and wet this much. Though I see why you three seem to always like to see me squirm under your teasing, it makes you look that more cute with the faces you're making right now." He said.

She tried to speak, but the only thing that again came out was a very loud moan as he pressed his thumb against her pleasure button. To top it off, she could feel herself getting nearer and nearer the edge as all of his fingers worked, he didn't even let up on her clit. It wouldn't be so bad if he wouldn't tease by slowing down every now and again.

"B-brandon, pl-please," she begged.

"Please what? Please let you finish? But I'm having so much fun making you squirm like this." He said, moving his fingers inside her wet slit a little.

"P-please, I-I...AAAHHH!" She screamed at the top of her lungs which quickly turned into a silent scream, as he gave a soft pinch to her button, making her arch her back and go completely stiff.

After her orgasm started to subside, he brought her in closer to him as she started to breathe heavily. It was a few minutes before she looked up at him with a tired and happy grin on her face. He once again leaned over to give her a gentle kiss, making her give a sigh of content.

"How was it?" He asked.

"A-amazing," she managed to answer as her eye slowly began to close.

"Let's get you to bed, and don't worry about the movie, I'll take care of it." He said, bringing her even closer, holding her tight as he stood up and began carrying her to the bedroom.

"C-can't it wait until tomorrow?" He heard her whisper as she nuzzled his chest.

"Yeah, it can wait until then I guess." He answered, and managed to open the door and gently laid down with her on top of him, and once she was more comfortable he wrapped his wings around her.

"So tired, and warm." She said, before finally letting herself go to sleep.

Though, now that he was left alone with his thoughts he couldn't help but think about what he just did. Granted, what he told her was the truth considering it's what she said to him. Not to mention that they've been friends since his first party here, but he still held doubts about whether or not what he did was moving too fast.

Not only would he have to talk to them about it, but he also had to talk to them about him becoming too dependent. At very least, he knew Lyra's opinion on the first subject, but what about Derpy and Luna? Derpy didn't seem to mind moving a little fast if the first date with her told him anything, and Luna seemed to have more self-control and wanted to take things a bit slower.

But with at least two of his marefriends not caring if their relationship goes by fast, what would that do to Luna? He honestly didn't want to pressure any of them into doing something they're not comfortable with. But what if that's what would happen? Luna wanted to take things a bit more slowly, but what she falls under the pressure?

The only thing he could think of was to try to slow things down even more between the other two, but he knew that may be easier said than done. Though, he always knew that this herd thing was going to be tough to balance out. His only hope was that none of them honestly felt pressured to do anything.

As for his other problem of becoming too dependent, he honestly couldn't handle that without talking with his marefriends. Though he almost laughed at the irony of that, the little sigh he heard reminded him he wasn't alone. So, all he had to do was wait and talk to the others.

At that, he gave another kiss to Lyra on the nose and finally let his eyes start to close. Hoping that now he was home, with somepony to snuggle with him, he wouldn't have any nightmares. Though, that really didn't stop the eyes of that little girl from his one nightmare from appearing before he fell into a deep sleep.

Author's Notes:

Confused? Good, now let me explain a few things. First, this chapter hasn't been through any proofreaders at all. Second, I wasn't actually planning to cancel this.
So then why did I? A few reasons, but the main reason was to teach you all a lesson. What was the lesson? If you do nothing but complain on a story, and not actually give proper constructive criticism, it'll ruin a story. Remember, if you want to help the story improve, actually try to give real constructive criticism instead of saying someone needs to work on spelling or grammar.
Now the reason for that is simple, if you actually give an example of something they constantly do or something in a single chapter they will know what to look for next time. Also remember, I am not affected by trolls, how? If you read a comment I made about me getting bullied, well that's how. I learnt how to deal with them a long time ago, and I know what I did was a dick move and I take full responsibility. But what I did was the most effective way to teach you all that lesson.
Hope you all enjoy all the upcoming chapters, and remember to smile, smile, smile.
