"How does... wait, what?" She asks as she stares at the photo.

"Was that research you did on your family accurate?" I ask as I toss her the cape.

"How did you know..."

"I was in your head. Was it accurate?" I ask again. She blinks a few times before nodding.

"Yes.... what are you by the way?" She asks as she takes a seat before me.

"Right, haven't heard that question in a while, I'm human. My people lived in massive underground cities but where wiped out by a race of aliens. I was sent three thousand years into the future during the destruction of my home city, Topaz Falls." I tell her confidently. She eyes me a bit, trying to gauge if I'm insane or not.

"OK... you're a hairless, insane, ape, great." She concludes.

"What's an ape?" I ask as the others suddenly start surrounding me.

"Miles! you got the amulet off of her, good job!" Twilight yells.

"Way to go Miles!"

"Excellent work!" They all start congratulating me, ignoring Trixie as she gets up and begins to walk away. I get to my feet, being sure to cover up, and let them know I was going to have a word with Trixie; alone.

"Hey, wait up!" I yell as I run up to her.

"Don't you want to be with your 'friends'. *sigh* just leave me alone Miles Eremita." She says as she continues to walk away.

"Sorry, no can do. So, assuming the information is accurate, we should head down to Roam..."

"What? I'm not going to Roam..."

"But it's where your information said your latest recorded ancestor was." I say as we head through the market, getting many odd looks from everyone. Well, I am naked after all... fuck it.

"Yes, but I've been there before..."

"Oooooh, right. The current Roam and the past Roam are two different cities."

"How did you know that?" She asks as she comes to stop.

"I've been in your head. I know what you know." I say as I get an evil idea to prove that I know her mind. "Like, I know you had a secret crush on this one guy...."

"NO I DIDN'T!" She yells as she begins to blush.

"But he turned out gay so now you think all guys are gay, but secretly kind its of kinky..."

"DO NOT!" She yells as she looks around, blushing even deeper.

"You've traveled almost all over Equestria, performing little magic shows for people; which you've been doing wrong by the way..."

"My special talent IS magic tricks, I know what I'm doing." She defends.

"A magic user using magic isn't interesting. No one wants to pay to watch a unicorn use magic, it's redundant. Here, let me show you a trick that your great great great... that your ancestor taught me. Do you have a deck of cards?"

"Card tricks?" She asks flatly.

"Five credits say it gets a crowd to cheer." I say with a confident smile. She stares at me for a second before flaring her horn, making a deck of cards appear before me.

"You're on." She says as she moves to my side and waits. Hmm... these feel like they're made of a different material... oh well. Lets see if I can do this without fucking up... like I usually do.

"Alright, alright, alright! Come see if your minds can fathom the great Terridisian shuffle. Who thinks they can out smart me! Come one come all! Who wants to have their minds blown!" I yell to the ponies as they move about the market. A couple look to each other before shrugging and coming over to me.

"The... Terradisian shuffle? What's that?" The mare asks eagerly as the stallion just rolls his eyes.

"Alright, a quick shuffle annnnnnd, pick a card." I say as I fan the cards out for her, facing her. They look to each other before she takes a card and looks it over. "Alright, don't show me that card." I say as I begin to shuffle again.

"Are we really waiting for a stupid card trick?" The stallion complains, getting a playful nudge from the mare.

"Alright, is this your card?" I ask as I show them the top card.

"We still have our card."

"No? Hmm... OH! Then its this card." I say as I show then the bottom card.

"..... no."

"Fuck it, I give up." I say as I toss the deck into the air. I take a step back and sigh as all of the cards rain down around the couple.

"Well, glad to see that was a complete waste of..."

"Wait... look." The mare says as she picks up a random card. "This is my card... no... they're all my card." She says as they start looking over all the falling cards. I smirk to Trixie as they start fawning over how each card somehow turned into her card. She just rolls her eyes and watches, slightly interested. I'm just glad I did it right this time.

"Alright, are you sure these are your cards?" I ask as I flare my hands and pull all of the cards back into my hands, turning my magic off before I grab them.

"Yeah, three of diamonds." The mare says happily.

"Really? This isn't your card?" I say as I slap the top card and reveal it. It's a king of hearts, but with her stallion as the king. They both laugh and cheer, stomping their hooves on the ground. A few random bystanders walk over to see what all the ca-motion is about.

"No wait, this is your card." I say as I pull the bottom card, revealing the queen of hearts. They cheer again as I look at the mare on the card and frown. "OK, this trick isn't going very well... wait a minute! Give me your card so I can shuffle it in!" I say as I take their card, not looking at it, and shuffle it inside. The crowd giggles a bit and waits for me to finish shuffling. I take a low stance and ready my hand over the top card, eying the crowd as I hover just above it.

"You ready?" I ask the couple.

"Yeah!" The mare says excitedly.

"This is your card!" I say as I flip the top card. They all laugh, making me look at it. "I take it the joker isn't your card."

"Nope." The giggle as I deflate a bit.

"How about... THIS ONE!" I say as I flip the bottom one. They laugh harder now, making me look at the joker. "That's it, I give up!" I yell as I toss the cards at a nearby window. Cards fly everywhere as I walk over beside the window and lean against the wall. And now I wait.

"No way..." The stallion mutters as he walks over to the window. "That's our card."

"Really?" I ask as I look over to see the card sticking to the window. "Are you sure?"

"Posit... what the?" He reached up to grab it, only to have his hoof slide over the glass. "How did you do that!?" He asks as he taps the glass, making the card fall inside the building.

"Magic." I say before walking away. The small crowd gives a round of applause as Trixie and I walk down the market street. we make it to the edge of town before she says anything to me.

"How did you do that?"

"I already told you, magic." I say smugly.

"But... you didn't use any magic to change the cards...."

"Yeah I did." I say, getting a confused look from her. "I can set my heels on fire too. So while I distracted them with the wrong cards, I enchanted the others to be the one they took..."

"How did you know what card they took?" She asks. I pause for a moment to smirk at her. NOW I get why I always got this answer...

"Magic." She does a double take as I walk off chuckling to myself.

"How did you do it?!" She asks again as she runs after me. I lust laugh as I make my way home. Three thousand years apart and she's just like Dolum and Auxy. We make our way out to the park and take the path to my house... well I do at least. Trixie is just trying to figure out how I did the trick...

"Hey Miles!" I look behind me to see Damian and two of his friends walking up behind me. "Nice ass."

"Why thank you Damian, I knew you'd like my male ass." I say as I face him, getting his friends to snicker as he just shakes his head. "Glad you could make it Damian. CC. Uh.... you..."

"Patches." He says bitterly.

"Right, Patches. Let me introduce you all. Trixie, this is Damian, a fellow lieutenant of the Spartans and these are his friends, CC and Patches. Guys, this is Trixie."

"Hello." Trixie says quietly as she eyes all of them.

"Hey. So where is everyone? Were we late? Did I beat Night Fury here?" Damian asks as he glances around the park.

"Dude, it's not even eleven. I didn't really expect people to start showing up till seven... and actually, no. Night Fury doesn't have a place to live anymore so he's crashing here until further notice." I tell him. CC and Patches both take a moment to glare at Damian as he just sighs in annoyance.

"Well, then we're here to help set up!" CC declare as she steps forward. "What do you need of us?"

"You don't have to do any...."

"No ,no ,no. We're here early, so we're going to help. All of us. What do you need." She pushes.

"Not me, I can't go in there with that filly there." Patches says as he drops down to lay on the dirt path. "Have fun cleaning."

"Hmm.... you know what, yeah. I'll take your help. CC if you and Damian could get started with getting the food ready I'd appreciate it. If there's no food in the fridge I'll give you some money to go get some groceries. True Will and Dust Devil said they would help with the cleaning, mainly because there isn't that much. Patches, just hang out near the front porch for awhile. I think I've got something for you."

"Lets go." CC says as she trots off for my place. Damian glances towards me before quickly taking after her.

"Well, I guess this is where I..."

"Oh no you don't." I tell Trixie as she tries to walk off.

"But..."

"Nope. You're sticking around for Hearths Warming Eve." I tell her as I begin to walk home.

"But..."

"We both know you have no where else to go and, I know you could at least use a good meal. Now either you stay and be friendly with everyone or I tie you up in chair and force feed you, your choice."

".... *sigh* fine. But only because I'm st.... hungry...."

"Three days without eating and you're only hungry." I say as I glance back to her. She blushes as avoids my gaze, mumbling something under her breath. "Don't worry, we'll get some food in you before people start showing up..."

"And what makes you think I'm staying after getting some food." She says as she quickens her pace.

"Because I'm asking you to." I say smugly as I walk ahead of her. She looks up to me and scoffs a bit before chuckling. "Thought so, now if you excuse me, I'd like to go put some clothes on now." I say as we approach my place.

...........................................................................................................................................................

With a gasp I jolt awake, finding myself in my bed immediately. I quickly throw off the blankets and sigh in relief when I see my normal body. Four legs and a pair of wings, just the way I'm suppose to be.

"Storm?" Twilight calls from the bottom of the room.

"Y-yeah... I'm good." I call back as I sit up in bed. Twilight runs up and sighs in relief when she sees me. "Hey, so I take it Miles won."

"Kind of." She says as she joins me on the bed. I lean forward and nuzzle her cheek, getting a kiss on the cheek from her. "I'm guessing that when we go to Miles' place, we're going to hear something unbelievable..."

"Well, it's Miles. It wouldn't be Hearths Warming Eve if something unbelievable didn't happen." I joke, getting a soft chuckle from her.

"Isn't that weird though?" She asks. "I mean, we've only known Miles for roughly four months, yet... I couldn't imagine him not being here."

"Yeah...."

"Lets not think about that." She says quickly as she takes my hooves and pulls me over for a hug. "I sent a letter to my parents explaining the situation, so they've decided to come here instead..."

"Oh, that's good..."

"It gets better. Cadence and Shinning will be coming to! Isn't that great?" She asks as she squeezes my mid section.

"Yeah.... great..." Shinning Armor is coming... why do I have the feeling that this won't end well. "Did we get them..."

"I've got it covered." Twilight says before looking up and kissing me firmly. I push back against her and sigh into the kiss. "OK," she say, our lips still connected, "lets get down stairs to get everything ready."

"OK, right after you break the kiss." I say through our kiss. We both chuckle as neither of us break the kiss...

"Hey, can I get an extra pair of hooves down here?" Mom calls out from down the stairs, making me break the kiss.

"Be right there!" I call back. I look back to Twilight and offer her a smile as she just smiles back, shaking her head slightly. "Well... lets go."

"Right, we don't want to fall behind my schedule." She says before hoping off the bed. I jump off and follow after her, playfully nudging her along the way.

"HI HONEY!"

"MOM!? Dad? Everyone?" Twilight gasps when we make it to the bottom of the stairs. Night Light, Twilight Velvet, Shinning Armor, a slightly pregnant Cadence.... Celestia and Luna all stand by our door. Everyone, except Celestia and Luna, are stripping their winter wear and off loading gifts to Spike... where did his scarf go?

"Hello Twilight, I hope you don't mind the sudden visit, but I felt it would be nice to visit my most faithful student on Hearths Warming Eve." Celestia says as she steps forward, offering a slight hug for Twilight. "We ran into your family on the door step, an odd occurrence of timing."

"I'd say. We're glad to have you and your sister for lunch." Twilight says, sweating a bit already.

"Shinning." I say as I move over to greet him.

"Storm."

"Hello Storm!" Cadence says with a large smile.

"Hello Cadence, how are you feeling?" I ask as I glance to her stomach. It's only slightly bulging. If one didn't know any better, they'd say she was just bloated.

"I'm good, everything is going splendidly." She says warmly. I nod and smile to her as Night Light and Velvet approach me.

"Hello... how was the trip here?" I ask them nervously.

"It was pleasant enough. The snow nearly derailed us, but it was nice to see the country side for a change." Velvet says as she pulls me in for a hug. Night Light and the others move inside to greet Twilight, giving Velvet the perfect chance to feel me up again. "Definitely worth the trip, to be with my family that is." She says with a vigorous pat down of my sides. I just sit there, wide eyed, as she trots away. Did.... did Twilight's mom just feel me up....

"Spike! Look at you! You've... grown!" Shinning says as he approaches him.

"Yeah, I've been learning magic with Miles and... well, I guess with power comes growth." Spike says as he rubs the back of her neck.

"Why did you grow wings?" Cadence asks him.

"Did it hurt?" Night Light asks.

"How advance are you in you studies?" Velvet asks as the three of them step towards the poor foal.

"Hi everypony!" Mom yells as she steps inside the living room, holding a pot in her hooves as she stirs its contents. "Foods just about ready, why don't we leave the poor foal alone and get ready to eat?" She says with a warm smile.

"I'm not a foal." Spike grumbles as everyone moves to the kitchen, ignoring his complaints.

"Everything alright?" I ask him.

"It's.... nothing." He says before moving to head into the kitchen.

"Whoa, don't you ever try to blow me off like that again. What's up? Something has you bothered, I can tell." I say as I walk in front of him. He sigh and looks away, trying to find the right words.

"R.... Rarity and I kissed last night." He says slowly.

"... and that's what's bothering you. I thought you liked her?"

"How did you know?!"

"REALLY?"

"Graaaah. Anyway! Yeah, we kissed and... I don't know how to feel about this. I tried asking Miles for help, but he just called you a whore and..."

"Did he really call me a whore? Wait, you went to Miles first, why?" I ask, feeling slightly offended.

"Well... sorry but... I look to you as my father, not somepony I go to for romantic advice.... sorry." He says as he takes a step away from me.

"Well.... though you can come to me about anything, I get your hesitation to. But why does kissing Rarity confuse you? Isn't this what you wanted?"

"Well... yeah, but... I don't know. It felt right, but wrong at the same time. Like.... I can't explain it. If her father hadn't thrown a boot at my head, I think we would have... you know.... all the way." He says with a massive blush.

"So you still feel like a foal?" I venture.

"No... kind of... I don't know. The title doesn't seem to fit anymore, even though it's true. I caught myself the other day having... odd thoughts, but I'm still young! I mean, I took a few cupcakes the other night and had those youthful thoughts, but when I saw two foals arguing I thought it was the dumbest thing ever.... I don't know what to think anymore!" He says before dropping to sit on the floor. I sigh as take a seat beside him. This is some... familiar sounding problems.

"Did I tell you about how I got my job as a weather pony?" I ask him as he holds his knees against his chest.

"... no."

"I was nine at the time. The orphanage I was at needed help financially and I was almost old enough to join the work force. So I spent weeks training my wings to be able to control weather. Once I was strong enough, I went and lied about my age. I actually never graduated high school..."

"Really! How did you manage to get into the royal guard then?"

"Well... I just went for it kind of. I was pretty smart in school, so I guess it payed off. Anyway, I got the job and had to get up at five in the morning six days a week, working twelve to sixteen hour shifts. This was back when the original workers went on strike, so I had plenty of work to do. During all my time as a worker, I started to mature quickly. Nothing like you, but by the time I was a sophomore in high school, I was worried about rent and bills instead of dates and sports. You know what I learned?"

"What?"

"Age is just a number. Now, if I were you, I'd wait for anything like sex or stuff like that. I'd say try to gain some responsibilities and try to grow into the pony you've become. Go for that stuff when you're ready."

"... so I shouldn't kiss Rarity anymore."

"Well I wouldn't go that far. Talk to her, let her know of your intentions. I'm sure she'll understand and support you. Just.. be careful."

"Why?"

"Because you're a six foot tall, magic wielding, heart breaker. I'm fairly certain there are a few mares out there keeping an eye on you, not just Rarity." I warn him. He leans back to think about what I said, a goofy smile growing on his face.

"Really?"

"Come on, lets get some food." I say as I stand and head for the kitchen.

"Thanks Dad... that was... really helpful." Spike says from behind.

"I do pretty good for a whore, don't I?" I say, getting him to laugh. He'll be alright, I'm sure of it.

"So Rain Cloud." Velvet says as we take our seats at the table. A plethora of different dishes have been set out Zebra style (many small portions that you take pieces of) and smells delicious. "We've heard about what happened to your company, interested in working with us? We could use a consultant with your experience. You see, our business is planning on going international..."

"That sounds lovely, but lets talk after we eat." Mom says. Twilight and I share a glance before silently cheering. Anything to get her out of the house for two minutes! I thought we'd never have a chance to try again!

................................................................................................................................................................

"So... that's an interesting way of using magic." Trixie says as we leave my shed. We spent the past two hours working together making my 'presents' for everyone. I only had a few good ideas, most of the Spartans will only get their specialized weapons as gifts. Luckily Trixie was able to conjure up some wrapping paper and we were able to get them all wrapped... though I found it a bit pointless. It's hard to hide the fact that you made a spear after all.

Ends up Trixie is just as curious about magic as Twilight would be. Her questions were much more sophisticated then I thought they would be though. She was really interested in the transfers of energies and how we had our laws and broken laws. It seems unicorn magic only follows standard laws of magic, interesting. Our conversation ended on the subject of trans-dimensional power shifting when Shadow called us up. Thus, we started taking everything up.

"Hey Dad, can I invite E'Claire and Butterscotch over?" She asks eagerly as we leave the shed. I'm just glad she seems to have forgotten seeing my junk.

"Of course corculum. If you see Bantler and Nada, let them know they're invited as well." I tell her. She nods and runs to the platform, flashing away.

"So, I have to ask, how is she your daughter?" Trixie asks as we head inside.

"I found her in a mine back in Detrot. She... lost her family, so I took her in."

"So she's adopted....good..."

"What?"

"WHAT? I... mean... it's good of you to do that, for her that is.... where do you want these?" She asks nervously. I motion her over to the living room where we set them in the open area. I take Damians, CCs, and Patches gifts and call them over to the front porch. When they're all there, I have CC go first.

"They're... bracelets? Thank you Miles, they're lovely." She says as she presents two silver bracelets with blackened quartz woven through it.

"Actually, they are comm link bracelets for you and Damian. If you speak into one, the other will hear you." I say, shooting Damian a 'I got your back' look.

"Woooow... lets try them!" She says as she snaps one onto his leg, then her own. "Hello? Can you hear me?" She whispers into the bracelet.

"Loud and clear." Damian replies.

"Patches, you're up." I say as I toss him the small parcel. He shoots an excited glance to the others before tearing the wrappings away.

"It's a necklace." He says as he pulls it out. It's a simple silver necklace that ends with two metal pieces woven together. Going through the two metal pieces is a little brass pole.

"Put it on." I tell him, getting him to do so....

"I GOT A STICK!" Damian proclaims proudly as he lifts his staff into the air.

"Nice patience douche." I say as he twirls it around expertly. It's a steel staff that I engraved myself; making his cutie mark and other dark images show all around it. "Anyway, you wanted something to make you weaker, there you go. Give it a try, feed as much energy as you can into it." He looks to the others before he starts to focus on it. Waves of dark energy flow around him as he concentrates ever more on the staff, though no one reacts to the energy leaking from him. More and more energy seeps into the staff, with nothing happening.

"Nothings happening." Trixie observes.

"No, a lot is happening." I say as Damian powers down, the dark energy receding back within him. "This staff has two enchantments on it, both on passive. The first one creates a ball of light at each end of the staff, while the second one snuffs out light at each end. I set the power levels ridiculously high for them..."

"So... it doesn't do anything?" Trixie asks, somewhat confused.

"Dude, it's perfect. Thank you." He says he stands with it, leaning on it for support.

"Your welcome, now you. That necklace was a bitch to make, but I think I got it down right. Explode."

"Excuse me?" Patches asks as he looks up to me. "Not with everypony here..."

"Just explode."

"You'll get..."

"Just do it."

"No! I'll"

"I'll do it!" Damian yells before smacking Patches with the staff. He instantly falls apart into a pile of body parts.

Then Trixie fainted.

"Oh my..... I DUB THEE 'STICK OF DOOM'!" Damian yells as he holds the staff above his head. The lumps of flesh begins to crawl back together, quickly forming Patches again.

"I... I didn't explode." He observes as he begins to tear up.

"Yeah. I enchanted it to nullify outward forces and send them inwHAT THE!" I yell as he jumps up and hugs me.

"Thank you! I can finally go in buildings now!" He cries as he squeezes me tighter. I look to the others for help, only to get Damian to smack him with the stick again. He falls apart just in time for all of the girls; older and young, Shinning Armor, Cadence, Big Mac, Spike, Twilights' parents, Celestia and Luna to see.

"Um... this isn't what it looks like." I try, but fail to change any of their shocked faces.

"Miles," Celestia starts, "what just happened?"

"Well..."

"I used the STICK OF DOOM!" Damian yells as he strikes a pose with his staff.

Then Rarity fainted.

"This is normal, I swear." I say as Patches begins to reform. Not helping dude.

"Well... I expected something unbelievable to happen, and I was right." Storm says as he continues down the path towards my house. Everyone else slowly follows after him, Spike lifting rarity up and bringing her along.

"Uh... so... where's that friend of yours?" Applejack asks Damian, trying to keep her distance from his staff.

"Back in Detrot with his mom and brother, why?"

"Oh, no reason. Ah just... noticed he wasn't here." She says as she steps away from him and CC, blushing deeply. "Ah'll just head inside then." She says coyly before heading in.

"Oh my, she likes Hammer." CC says out loud.

"Looks like you have some competition Damian." Patches says quickly before running towards my house.

"ASS!" Damian yells at him. And all that potential bonding I set up, gone. Fucking Patches.

"Well, lets head inside already. I'm freezing my feet off out here." I say, getting an irritated sigh from Damian as we all head in.

Hearths Warming Eve was started when the three races of equestrian kind joined together for the first time. Before this, there was a separation between the three that was held together with a weak deal. Earth ponies grew the food. Pegasi controlled the weather. And the unicorns bartered with gems and spells of importance. A deep hatred grew when Windigos started to through the weather into disarray.

It was too cold to grow food, so the Earth ponies stored what little food they had.

The pegasi were blamed for the poor weather, so the trade ended.

With little to no resources, gems lost their value. Thus the unicorns lost their trade.

And so, the three tribes left their homelands in search of a new utopia. Somewhere where they could make a new living for their people. As fate would have it, they all found the same land; Equestria.

Though they the leaders fought themselves into icy statues, their cohorts found peace with one another. Ironically, through hating their leaders, but that's besides the point. They told stories. Laughed. Sung heart filled songs. A friendship grew between them that burned their leaders from their icy states, and infected them. They too would join in the merriment, effectively fighting off the Windigos. Thus, they worked together to form Equestria, through the power of the friendships formed their that day they would see one of the worlds largest countries rise from the snow.

Or, so that's how the tale is told these days.

According to Luna, these events happened, but not without prior cause.

The Windigos usually stay up in the Ice elemental regions, high to the north. But during the rise of the Griffons, their leader and demigod would start events that would change the world.

Ulfric StormMind was searching for a land for his griffins to nest. Back in these days, they were heavily nomadic and needed somewhere for his people to raise the next generation. He would find a mountain peak in what would be called the Ice caps and make camp there.

But not without fighting off the natural inhabitants.

Legend says he killed dozens of the creatures before banishing them from their home, fighting with a fury that would send icy winds all the way to the goblin desserts. Once they were defeated, they would nest. But not peaceably.

Spatium and Tempus would notice the rise in energy and go to investigate, finding him killing what they saw as living souls. They rose together and challenged him in a pit of combat that would rage over the entire planet. Soon, other leaders would join in the fighting. All until Tempus struck a blow against Ulfric, causing him to bleed.

Demigods don't bleed.

Distraught, he fled the battle, so what would become the eventual Griffin Colony. But Tempus was kind, and turned back time to allow him to hold onto his honor.

Thus two nations were formed, and thus we celebrate.

"Wow... that's quit the history." I say as Luna steps back with her sister. We're all gathered around in the living room listening to the story of Equestrias forming. It was quit the tale actually. I had set an enchantment in the center of the room to keep us warm as everyone sips on hot cocoa (fucking awesome by the way) and coffee (still fucking gross).

"Lets here your story." Cadence says as she looks to me.

"My story? You mean Terradisia?" I ask as Shadow shuffles a bit in my lap, trying to look up to me.

"Yeah, I bet it's just as interesting." She says as she gets cozy with Shinning. I look around at all of the expecting eyes and sigh.

"Very well, lets see how good I am at story telling..."

"I'll join you on this one." Damian says from the corner of the room. "I looked it up, the half you don't know that is."

"You looked it up?" I question.

"We know everything...."

"Huh.... alright, but no skipping any parts.Tell us everything you know.

"Dammit...."

"Terradisia has an unknown starting point..."

The Purge.

Back, well before recorded time, started a war. Great nations and any organization that could muster up people set out to destroy one another. The war would rage for decades, centuries. Only to end in a hail of nuclear and archaic fire. The land mass we stand on today was only saved due to the discovery of super enchantments. A shield stopped the missiles from coming in, but didn't stop them entirely. The shields couldn't break the over engineered weapons, so when they finally hit their height markers, they exploded.

The war was a stand off between the scientific community, and the religious community. Science was pushing forward, trying to sink further into magic and technology, while the religious sector was declaring the latter a curse. A taboo for the damned. Soon each side started fighting, at first with peaceful demonstrations, but soon...

The religious sector started using it's connections to arrest scientific leaders, so the peaceful demonstrations turned to riots. Scientific leaders started taking to the streets, burning down houses of worship and planting viruses to delete religious text. In retaliation, religious leaders started using governmental pull to outlaw the magic, calling it a scourge on the human soul.

Not long after, the viruses started to feed on everything that it could find. Music. Art. If it was online, it was being deleted. Many tried to save copies of the losing arts, but only saved about one percent of everything. This pushed the religious sector to start arresting people, accused of being hackers. When a child was killed in a street riot, people screamed for blood. Blaming America for the innocents lost life. War would consume the world...

Once the fighting stopped, everything goes quiet. It's unknown how long it took, but eventually people started to migrate together. Eventually forming Emerald City. The city was founded when three of the larger tribes met and almost broke out into a fight. The ground before them crumbled from all of the yelling, revealing massive Emeralds, the size of buildings. It was decided that any progression needed to halt before any good could come forth.

This would start the Renewal era. People started going back to their roots, trying to become 'human' again. Latin was reinstated as the main language for humanity, being the oldest known language. Art was declared a taboo, being blamed for the ideological revolts and mass murders. Once the foundations of the city were made, science was taken in as the greatest power in the world. But the people still needed a government.

With many people, formed our union. Many great ideals forged together to create Terradisia. The houses were made, The King as our commander and chief, life long elected officials as our interpreters of law and the people to make the laws.

As time would go on, so did our advancements. More cities would pop up along the continent, soon filling to the brim. So started the Final Journey. We started searching out new worlds to inhabit. After a few centuries of great prosperity, first contact would be made, and start the Final Crusade. After we lost the last colony, was when we buried our cities, our last attempt to hide our being from them. Thus started our calender. We called it the celestial calender, because it was our count down from our seclusion. eleven hundred years later, they would find our cities and destroy them in a great war...

Because war..... war never changes.

..............................................................................................................................................................

After all of the sad stories and what not we finally started to eat. The dining table quickly filled up, so I just decided to eat outside on the porch. With a plates worth of food in tow, I make my way out the door to find Trixie eating alone. She's facing away from me and sits straight up the second I opened the door.

"Oh, sorry I was just... uh.... mind if I join you?" I ask her. She chokes on some food as she tries to force it down before facing me, having some sauce still on her lips.

"O-of course." She says quickly, smiling at me as she hides her plate behind her. I just shrug as I set my plate down and begin to eat. "So... you used to be a night guard." She says awkwardly. I pause from my dish to nod to her before diving right back in.

"Um... how did you meet Miles?" She asks. I sit up and finish chewing before looking over to her.

"Well... he pissed off the Captain of the Royal guard, so I was sent in to steal Spartan training secrets. But... I was fired when I wouldn't give them up, so now I live with the guy."

"Ah, so you were a guard.... is Miles..." She starts but stops immediately. I look over her flushed face before widening my eyes.

"Whoa... you know Miles is married right?"

"WHAT!?" She yells as she nearly falls over. "But.. but..."

"Yeah, to Luna..."

"WHAT!?" She yells again. I take this moment to look her over more closely. Flushed face, tale tucked closely, back legs held closely.....

"Oh my god..."

"I didn't..."

"You're in heat."

"I wasn't..."

"And you were planning on seducing him, weren't you?" She sighs in defeat as she lies down and buries her head under her arms.

"Yes. I... was being hormonal and... well, he's the nicest pony I've ever met..."

"He's married."

"I didn't know that! He was... I thought he was being flirty!" She tries to defend, but deflates immediately. I look back inside the house, seeing everyone eating joyfully, before I stand up.

"Look... lets get you somewhere where nopony will see you like this." I say as I lift her up and toss her on my back. She tries to protest, but stops... for some unknown reason. I take her back where I see the door to Miles' shed open. Seems like a great place to hide a mare in love, down we go.

With Trixie on my back, it's a little hard to fly down properly, so we end up falling down instead. I smack my head against the ground and black out for a second, but when I open my eyes I find myself on top of Trixie between her sprawled legs. I guess in the excitement of moving her my penis had stiffened, because I can feel it pressing against her sex. I get to my hooves and stand over her, smelling her arousal as our bodies leave each others.

"Hey... do you want some advice?" I ask as I look over her body. She's fairly skinny, but still has curves in all the right places.

"Uh... sure."

"Well, I had a mare once. We almost had a foal but... things didn't go well..."

"I'm so sorry..."

"I actually stole her from Storm Cloud, she was dating him at the time and... well.... if you really want something, go for it. You only live once, don't wait on the side lines." I say as I press forward, my tip meeting her entrance and making her eyes widen in surprise.

"Night Fury..."

"I'll be honest though, getting Miles will take time. I'm here, now. Ready to take care of your needs." I say as I start to grind against her slit, feeling her arousal ooze over my member.

"But...."

"Nothing personal, just mechanical, pleasing, non conflicting sex. Think of it as.... a test run before trying to get Miles..."

"Night Fury.... I'm a virgin." She says with a slight moan of pleasure.

"All the more reason to." I say as I pull back and press against her slit. She looks down to the meeting before lying back and nodding slowly. I push forward until I meet some resistance, where I only pause for a second before breaking through it. She lets out a small scream as she clutches against me as she clenches her eyes in pain .

"It... it hurts." She says as I finally bottom out.

"I know, but don't worry. That'll pass. I can wait until then if you want." I tell her as I relish the feeling of her tight canal. I would have blown my load if I hadn't moved in so slowly.

"Thank you." She says as she lies back and tries to relax, a pained look taking over her face.

"If you're willing to try it, making out will help take your mind off of things." I tell her, trying to see how far she'll go.

"Well.... only because your handsome enough to." She says playfully as she paws at my face. I lean down and give her a light peck on the lips. We each take a moment to stare into each others eyes before pressing our lips together, breathing into one another as we begin to make out. She reaches up with her hooves and runs them along my chest, so I try to puff out as much as I can to impress her.

"You can move it now." She tells me as her lust grows to new depths. I break our kiss to look down to her love, watching as I pull back and stretch her out. When my tip reaches her entrance I begin to push back in, getting her to squirm underneath me. "Not that far back... I feel empty without it." She says as I bring our hips back together.

"You like it?" I ask her as I begin to rock back and forth, a light slapping sound filling the empty room. She nods in response as she begins to caress my sides. "Let me hear you say it."

"I.... I like it." She says with a pant. I smirk at my control over her and begin to thrust with a bit more force.

"You like my cock bucking your tight little pussy?" I ask in a growl as I begin to thrust mercilessly. She begins to babble incoherently as she tries to respond. She arches her back and opens her mouth widely as I feel her clench down on my aching member....

"MILES!" She screams finally as she bucks wildly. "BUCK MY TIGHT LITTLE PUSSY MILES! BUCK ME TILL I CAN'T WALK AAAAAHHH!" She screams at the top of her lunges. I feel myself ride the edge of my own orgasm, so I pull out and stand over her, working my member with a hoof as I aim for her tits.

"AH.... Rain Drop..." I mutter as I squirt my finish onto her teats. I buck wildly as i send load after load onto her, having it spill down and follow the curvature of her winking pussy. Feeling tired and still trying to catch my breath, I fall to my side and close my eyes as I try to relax.

"Night Fury... that was..." Trixie pants as she rolls over to face me.

"I know... not that same. But.... I'll never get her back... and Miles will take time..."

"But you'll help me?" I open my eyes and look to her pleading face. I smile and lean forward, kissing her on the lips lightly.

"Don't worry, I've got your back. Consider me your love guru." She smiles and flares her horn, squinting from the spell before we both suddenly teleport to the guest room in Miles' house.

"Miles said I could use this room, seems like a good place for a nap... want.... want to join me?" She asks nervously. I simply nod, getting her to scoot forward into my embrace. We both know what this really was, but neither of us want, or care to, say so. Who wants to be alone anyway?

.............................................................................................................................................................

"Alright everypony! I think now is a good time to exchange gifts!" Twilight announces, getting the girls to squeal in delight. I get up from the dining room table and head over to the living room where I left all of my 'presents'. I start out with the girls, handing them off at the same time. While I do my own gifts, everyone else moves about the room, exchanging gifts.

"It's a... bracelet?" Sweetie Bell asks as they all open them to reveal little silver bracelets.

"Put them on and wave them around." I tell them. They do so and nearly explode from the results. The bracelets are enchanted to leave an aura in the air when they move. Immediately they start waving their hooves around, making a blur of colors cover their faces.

"Well, at least we'll never loose them again." Rarity mentions as they run off, leaving a trail after them.

"This is for you." I tell Rarity as I hand her a present.

"And this for you." She says as she levitates me something. We take a moment to open our gifts, mine being a dark bottle of liquid with a spray top."Oh... thank you?" She says as she looks over the brush I made for her.

"It's a Terradisian brush. Tangles will undue themselves, muck will fly off, and it can attach to a hose..... that last one only makes sense with Terradisian shower heads."

"OH!" Rarity exclaims as she tries it out, seeing the magical effect immediately. "And that is a bottle of cologne. I figured that you could use some for... a special somepony." She says as she glances over to the unknowing Celestia. I open it up and spray it into the air, taking a whiff.

"Hmm, not bad. Thank you Rarity. Next is Dash." I say as I pull the 'obviously not a spear' present out.

"Cool! A spear!" She says as she takes it and begins to unwrap it.

"Ruin the surprise!" I say, getting a few chuckles. It's a stander length of darkened steel with a twisted end. The spear tip is a spiral of steel and diamonds that comes to a sharp point while the shaft has an intricate etching or the sky and flying ponies. "Don't try it in here, but it's enchanted with electricity."

"And I got you this!" Dash says as she tosses me a wrapped book. I open it up and look it over. "It's the first Daring Doo Book!"

"Cool, I'll have to learn Equestrian to read it, thank you." I say as I set it aside. She nods and runs outside, excited to use her new 'toy'.

"We've got the next one." Storm and Twilight say as they walk over and hand me another book.

"It's to help you start learning Equestrian, first edition." Twilight informs me.

"Excellent, just what I needed. And these are for you two." I say as I hand them their gifts. They open them up and smile at the half heart necklaces made of gold. "They're enchanted to find the other halves, so I wouldn't suggest wearing them all the time." I say as they put them on. The two hearts lift up and pull towards each other. They give their thanks as they move away, getting close enough for the hearts to attach properly.

"Miles." Cadence says as she and Shinning approach me. "My gift is an alliance between the Crystal Empire and Terradisia, you'd be the first country out side our host country to do so..."

"I'd be honored." I say as I flare my hand and extend it towards her. She looks a little confused as she levitates a scroll to her side. "Just engulf my hand in your magic." I tell her. She nods and does so. I take a deep breath and begin to pull the two magics together, thinking back to the ideals of peace. When I finish the spell, two pink and green open roses appear below. "As long as peace stands between our two nations, these roses shall thrive."

"Oh... wow. I was just going to offer a treaty, but this is much better." Cadence jokes as she lifts one up and looks it over.

"We still can, this is just something the Spartans did with Terradisia. Something symbolic." I say as I take the scroll and leave my mark on it.

"I'm next!" Pinkie exclaims as she bounces up beside me, shoving her gift into my hands. I shrug and open it up....

POP

Everyone laughs when my gift explodes, confetti and streamers flying all around me. After I calm down from the initial explosion I toss Pinkie her gift.

"BELLS!" She exclaims as she shows everyone the string of tiny bells before tying them around her neck.

"That's... a great gift Miles." Twilight mentions as Pinkie bounces around, tying to make the bells ring as loudly as possible.

"Yeah.... amazing." Rainbow mentions as Damian and CC step up to me.

"Miles, we got you something you could really use." Damian says as he gives me the gift. I eye the two of them as I begin to unwrap it. Why am I getting a bad feeling about this?

"Uh.... what is it?" I ask when I finally pull it out. It's a clear plastic tube that has a pump attached to it.

"A penis pump." Damian says with a sly smile.

"A... I don't..."

"I also gave Luna a copy of that video." CC says. I stare at her for a second before I put two and two together. I lean over to see Luna sitting in the dinning room, flushed faced with her wings up.

"How did you..."

"Also, my second gift is not to say party during this party, oh I'm sorry. I said party didn't I? OK, now I won't say party, dammit. OK, now no more parties at this par..."

BOOT

"So CC, how have you been enjoying this social gathering?" I ask her as Damian lays sprawled out on the floor, a new boot bruise taking over his face. CC looks over before running back to the kitchen and pulls out an isle

"Worth it!" He says as he gets up. "We also got you art supplies."

"I..."

"Because, even though you only took that one class, you're really, really good at it. So here's some paint and papers to do something other then hitting ponies really hard..."

"Hey, I'm good at that." I say as I look over the isle. It's a little short, but I can fix that.

"Well, you're really good at this to. So, enjoy." CC says as she and Damian walk off together. Fluttershy and Big Mac step past them and set down some wooden boxes.
.
"We got you some bird houses to put around your home Miles." Fluttershy says as Big Mac motions to the painted wooden boxes that have holes cut into them.

"Thank you, I'll be sure to put them up soon." I say as I set them aside. "This is for the two of you." I say as I hand them their gift. They unwrap it and look it over, a little confused. It's a metal staff that is engraved with a scenic farm and animals. "It's an Apple Bucking staff. Poke a tree with it, and the fruit will fall. I was thinking that, with this, Fluttershy could help with bucking and stuff."

"Wow, thank you Miles." Fluttershy says as she hugs the staff.

"EEyup."

"An this is frum the Apple family." Applejack says as she drops a barrel behind me.

"Oh, cool.... don't know what that is but thank you." I say as I feel the barrel. It has some kind of liquid in it, I'm guessing it's a beverage. "My gift to you is out back. It's a cart that I've enchanted to carry more. In my test it was doing about a hundred eighty kilograms.. uh... about double what your other one can do." Her and Big Mac share a look before running out back to check it out. I was about to follow after them when Celestia and Luna stepped in front of me. "Luna, Soror."

"Miles." Celestia says back. "Luna and I decided to get you this sketch book and drawing pencils, seeing how you're quite the artist..."

"OK, I'm not even that good..."

"Yes you are." The entire room says at once, silencing me.

"We also brought you a treaty as well, acknowledging Terradisia as a sovereign nation." Luna tells me proudly. I smile to her and reach forward with a flared hand.

"Ad pacem." I say.

"Ad pacem." Luna repeats as she engulfs my hand with her magic

"Odd.... possum?" Celestia repeats as she adds her magic. I focus on the spell and bring forth two green, blue, and golden roses. "I'm assuming 'possum' means peace." Celestia says as she lifts up one of the roses.

"See, Latin isn't that hard to learn." I joke, getting her to roll her eyes. "I made something for the two of you as well." I say as i reach into the pile behind me and present them their gifts. They thank me as they take them and begin to open them up. They're each necklaces of their cutie marks.

"It's lovely, thank you." Celestia says as she puts hers on.

"Yours is enchanted to force the truth out of people, though the need to be within three meters of you."

"A truth spell... how powerful is it?" She asks as she levitates it up and inspects it. Luna shoots me a panicked look as she eyes the two of us. Sorry babe...

"Well, ask..."

SLAM

We all look over to the front door as it slams against the wall. In the doorway is Hammer, strutting in on his back hooves as he smiles to everyone.

"Good news everypony! I made it!" He says as he saunters over to me. "Miles."

"Hammer."

"I got a present for the lovely couple." He says as he reaches into his backpack. Luna and I look to each other in a panic before looking over to Celestia.

"What does he..."

"What couple Hammer?" I ask as I give him a death glare.

"Oh, right. Anyway, here is some strawberry scented, scentless soap!" He says as he presents a pink bar of soap.

"If it's scentless, then how does it have a scent?" I ask, kind of fearing the question.

"Here, find out."

THWACK

THUD

..............................................................................................................................................................

"Well... I guess that's one way to end a party." I say as I stare at the unconscious Miles. "I wonder what yours does." I say as I look to Luna.

"I'm sure we'll find out soon enough." Luna says as she sighs in relief.

"Everything alright?" I ask her.

"Yeah, why?" She asks quickly. I just shrug as I look back to Miles. "Should we leave him there or..."

"I'll take him to bed!" Trixie says from behind as she walks down the stairs. She lifts him up with her magic and starts to take him towards the stairs.

"Where were you?" Luna asks as we follow after her.

"Having sex with Night Fury." She simply says, then drops Miles when she realizes what she said. Everypony within earshot stops talking and looks right to Trixie. "I.... uh.... well...."

"Well... that was... revealing." I say as I begin to blush. "Well, why don't you take Miles to bed..."

"I plan to." She says before slapping a hoof to her mouth. The entire room goes silent as she stands there, blushing madly. Before anypony could say anything she levitates him up and runs the rest of the way to his room, banging his head against the stairs along the way.

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Well this has been..... strange." I say as I look to Luna. She's just frozen from what Trixie said, eye slightly twitching. "I think now would be a good time to leave..."

"Maybe we should stay a bit, make sure nothing happens that Miles would regret." Luna says, still staring up the stairs.

"He's a grown pony Luna. He can take care of himself. Good night everypony! Merry Hearths Warming Eve." I announce as I drag Luna out of the building. Once we get to the carriage she snaps back and begins to fume with rage. "Luna..."

"I swear if he as much as..."

"Luna, calm down. He can do what he wants to." I tell her. She just rolls her eyes as she looks out the side of the carriage. "Hey, if they work together, they work. Who are we to say otherwise?" She looks back to say something, but folds immediately. I just shrug it off as jealously. "It'll be fine Luna, just trust me on this one." I tell her as I nudge her shoulder.

"It better be.....for his sake."

..............................................................................................................................................................

Once I finish looking over the cart Miles made us I decide to head inside to socialize. Big Mac says he'll get it tomorrow so I don't have to worry about it for now. The stallion I want to see isn't here, so I may as well try talking to somepony else....

"Hammer, why would you do that?" I hear that CC mare say in the dinning room. I make a Bee line for her voice and see him, standing there before her.

"Well I don't really care for him all that much." He says with a cute smile and a shrug. "How did Patches make in here? Won't he explode?" I turn back around the corner and start to check on my mane and tail, trying to look as presentable as possible. How should I approach him? Do I just walk up to him and say hey? Or should I wait off in the distance and wait for him to see me? Maybe I should just....

"Applejack, what in Celestias' mane has you so frazzled?" Rarity asks me as she and Spike walk up to me.

"Huh? Oh.... uh, nothin. I was just... uh... thinkin about pears." I say as i hold my mouth shut and look anywhere but their eyes.

"Pears.... you hate pears." Spike says, looking to Rarity for answers.

"Ah do! That's what ah was think about, how much ah hate 'em!" I say as i clench my mouth tighter and try to hum a tune. I look to the left as i see Damian walk by, so I dart behind Rarity and hide as his group of friends start getting a bit more food.

"Applejack what are..."

"Ah'm not here!" I whisper to her as I sneak a peek. he isn't eating anything, I don't think he'll be staying for long. Darn it! I need to just go and talk to him! Just walk out from behind Rarity, say 'Hi' and...

"Applejack I..."

"Don't move!" I accidentally yell as she tries to face me.

".... Applejack." Darn it. I walk out from behind Rarity and wave to Hammer.

"Howdy there Hammer." I say nervously. Spike and Rarity share a look before leaving my side, but not before Rarity whispers 'good luck' in my ear. Like wise, Damian, CC, and Patches leave Hammers side so we can talk.

"I was wondering where you were, why were you hiding behind Rarity?" He asks as he steps closer to me, making me tuck in my tail.

"Ah.. was... uh... is it hot in here?"

"No."

"Well ah'm burning like a log in a fire, can we talk outside?" I ask as I motion to the door.

"Oh, sure." He says with a smile as he heads to the door. I sigh in relief as I contemplate running for it, but then follow him out as my legs betray me. Dumb legs. "So how was your Hearths Warming Eve?" He asks as we stops beside the cart.

"Oh, it was.. pretty good." I say as I eye the cart a bit, getting an idea. "But... ah never mind."

"What?" He asks as he leans in a bit.

"Well, it's not really your concern, but ah wanted to get this cart home tonight, but Big Mac won't let me take it alone at night. An he won't move it till tomorrow. Just somethin bothering me ah guess." It's not really a lie. Big Mac made the argument that it was late in the night, and I do want it home as soon as possible.

"Well... I could walk with you if you wanted." Hammer offers. Jackpot.

"Really? Ah really do appreciate it. Come on." I say as I begin to hitch up to it.

"I can pull it if you want Applejack." Hammer offers.

"Are ya sure city boy?" I ask with a smug smile. " Ah wouldn't want ya hurtin yerself."

"Pfft, please. I deal with tougher stuff then wooden carts. Here, let me." He says as he lifts me out of the harness and sets me in the cart. I can't help but blush and tuck my tail in as he does so. I didn't know he was strong enough to do that with such ease.

"So... you're that farm, right?" Hammer asks as he points to my farm. I sit by the front of the cart and rest my forelegs on the edge, eyeing his form as I feel my loins burn.

"Yeaaah." I say lustfully as he starts to pull forward.

"So... how long have you been a farmer?" He asks me as he trots to my farm.

"All my life." I say as I watch the muscles twist in his flank. He's a LOT stronger then he lets show.

"Huh, I've only been... well, I've only been doing what I've been doing for about half a year now. Feels like longer, but I guess that's just because I'm getting used to it. What do you grow apart from apples?"

"Oh, you know... corn.... an... stuff." I say as I find myself biting my hoof, my lower needs burning hotter and hotter.

"Stuff? Well, I do like stuff." He jokes, laughing awkwardly to himself. "Anyway, uh... what's.... your... favorite color?"

"Green." I answer somehow, not really being able to register what he's saying as my mind reels with dirty thoughts. I need to bed him, tonight. I think I'll melt if I don't.

"Green? Huh, I was thinking orange. That's cool, mines blue... no red! Maybe a bit of both." He laughs. I just stare at his white body, the blue streak in his white mane, the way his hooves end in blue, the two orbs between his legs.... "Applejack?"

"Huh?" I ask as I shake my head.

"I asked where you wanted the cart." I look around and find myself on the farm, just in front of the house. "Oh, could ya bring it around back of the house?"

"No problem." He says as he takes off for the back. I hope out of the back and help him unstrap, getting close enough to smell his musk. "So... I guess we should head back then..."

"Or we could go up to my room." I suggest.

"To... talk?" He asks with a tilt of his head.

"Sure, talk." I say as I go to the back door and open it. We walk to the front where we find Granny sleeping in her rocking chair, snoring loudly. I motion to Hammer to stay quiet before taking the stairs up. When we make it to my room I hold the door open for him and shut it quietly, locking it for good measure.

"So what do you want to talk about?" He asks as he turns to face me. I just walk right up to him and forcefully kiss him, pushing back until we're pressed up to one another.

"Still wanna talk?" I ask when I break the kiss.

"No." He says quickly as he removes his backpack and hangs it on the corner of the bed. I toss my hat aside and take out the hair band on my tail before rushing back to kiss him. He wraps his hooves around me and lifts me onto the bed, climbing up and kissing me again. I push my tongue into his mouth and begin to feel around. He seems a little shocked by this, but returns the gesture quickly.

"Top or bottom?" I pant as our tongues dance between our mouths.

"Huh?"

"Bottom it is then." I say before hugging him tightly and rolling over to be on top. I grab his stiff member and line it up before falling down on it, gasping in delight.

"WHOA! Slow down Applejack!" Hammer yells as I begin to bounce on top of him.

"To late, come on..."

"No, I mean wait!" He yells as he tries to pull me off. I guess he really wants top, so I roll over and set him on top.

"Git to it partner..."

"STOP!" He yells as he out, leaving me empty and confused. "Applejack, I don't want you like that!" He yells as he looks me in the eyes, anger taking his face. I feel my heart drop when he says this.

"Ya.... ya don't want me?" I ask, feeling tears start to form. Where did I go wrong... well, I guess trying to sleep with him right off the bat wasn't a good idea. But... I dunno, I thought we had sparked something.

"No, I mean I want more then just sex Applejack. I really like you, a lot, but this... this feels temporary. I don't want you temporarily. I want all of you, for the long haul..." He says quietly as his expression softens. "I... I can't stop thinking about you Applejack. I know I've only know you for practically no time at all but.... I... I really care about you." I can see all of the hope swell up in his eyes as he stares down at me, waiting for my answer. I feel my heart flutter as he confesses to me. I can only smile up at him as I run a hoof along his jaw line.

"Ah couldn't stop thinkin about you either." I tell him, getting a smile in response. "When ah was in Jasper... things didn't go well. Ah almost died. But ah didn't, so I decided that life was too short to wait. So ah figured that, the next time ah saw you, ah would make mah move. Ah guess ah took it a bit too far." I say as I glance away from him. "Can ya forgive me?"

"Already have." He says as he pulls me back to look him in the eyes. He leans down and tentatively kisses me on the lips a couple of times. Each kiss only lasts a few seconds, leaving me wanting more every time.

"Can... can we still... ya know?" I ask between kisses as my loins yell for attention. Hammer sits back and rubs the back of his neck, nervous about something.

"Well, I don't have a condom." He says as he looks down between my legs, sweating slightly as he fights his urges.

"Ah think ah have one." I say as I roll over and look through my dresser. I find two at the bottom and pull one out for him, getting another confused look from him.

"Why do you have this?" He asks as he takes it. I blush a bit as he opens it up and starts to roll it on.

"Well... a mares gotta be ready fer things... is... is that gonna be a problem?" I ask, feeling dirtier then ever before.

"Hey, if you didn't have this we wouldn't be.... it broke." He says as pulls it off and looks at the tear going down the side. "Sorry.... I've never done this before." He admits, blushing slightly. I just chuckle a bit as I pull out the other one and open it.

"Here, let me show ya." I say quietly as I scoot closer to him. We both take a moment to watch each other blush before I begin to roll it on. "Ya gotta roll it on, not pull." I say softly as he begins to nuzzle my neck and mane.

"Mhmm." He groans back as I reach the bottom. I give him a few rubs as I look over to him and plant soft kisses on his neck. He takes a deep breath as he nervously begins to explore my body, feeling my back and stopping just before my flanks.

"It's OK, go ahead." I coax him, getting a nod in response. My heart races as he reaches behind and gives my flanks a firm squeeze. I lean against him and rest my head on his shoulders as he continues to caress my entire body, getting more confident as he goes. I can feel his heart thumping in his chest as he reaches my breast, pausing slightly before fully inspecting them.

"Applejack..."

"Come on." I say as I lay back and spread my legs. He takes a look over my entire form before nodding and taking his place.

"How... how do you want it? This is my first time, remember..." He tells me as he lines himself up with me.

"Just go at yer own pace, ah'm sure you'll do fine." I tell him as I run a hoof along his broad chest. He nods and pushes himself in, panting a bit as our hips meet. I sigh in relief as he begins to rock back and forth, grabbing onto his shoulders to hold myself in place. He leans down and returns to planting soft kisses on my lips, leaving my wanting more. I try to lean up to continue the kiss, only to have him pull just out of my reach. I groan in frustration as he keeps a slow pace and teases me with soft kisses. "Hammer... please..."

Before I could finish he presses his lips against mine and holds it there. I sigh into him as I feel his tongue explore my mouth, meeting my tongue quickly. As our tongues begin to dance again he begins to quicken his thrust. I begin to buck my hips in time with his, trying to get the most out the movements. We finally break our long kiss to pant for breath. The lack of proper breathing and our bucking taking it's toll on our lunges.

For a moment everything turns to a blur of sweat and thrusts as I lay back, letting him take complete control. Even with the protection, I feel his member begin to twitch as he begins to get closer to his finish. I'm not that far off either. I pull him down for another kiss, pausing his thrusts, as I twist underneath him and lift my flank against him.

"Ya... ya might find this a bit... easier." I pant as continue moving my hips. He looks over my body before pulling out and pushing my to my side. I gasp from the sudden emptiness and groan in frustration. I'm too close for him to stop now.

"No, I want to see your face." he say as he lifts a leg up and pushes back inside me. I yell out in pleasure as he holds my leg against his body, using it for better support as he slams into me. I lose all sense as I throw my head back and scream out his name as I reach my orgasm. He just keeps pounding away at me as I squirm and buck like crazy, spraying my juices over his already slick member. With a final, strong thrust, he buries himself in me as his member twitches madly, releasing his seed in a few strong bursts.

We both stay in this position for a long time, panting loudly as we fight to catch our breath. He's still holding onto my leg, something I find strangely cute, and has his sweaty bangs covering his eyes. I probably look a mess as well, but I don't care. I don't think I've ever came that hard in my life.

"Applejack...." He says as he finally releases my leg and pulls out. "There's... there's a tomorrow for us, right?" He asks as he rubs my leg, keeping his eyes focused else where.

"I would like ta... iffin you'll be mine." I say quietly. He looks me in the eyes and smiles, overjoyed by my answer. I reach over and pull him in for a tight hug, kissing him passionately on the lips. We kiss for a short time before he falls to my side, just as tired as me. I feel him reach between the two of us and remove the condom, letting his seed spill between us.

"Oh... sorry. It was getting uncomfortable." He say with a chuckle. I just laugh along as I lay my head on his shoulders, tired beyond belief.

"It's alright, ya can stick around tamorrow ta help clean mah sheets." I say as I let sleep begin to take over.

"OK... Applejack?" He asks as he wraps an arm around me.

"Mhmm."

"I ...I..." He repeat as he searches for the right thing to say. I wait for him to say whatever is on his mind, only to have him sigh. "Good night.... and thank you for the tomorrow." He says before kissing me on the forehead.

"Thank ya fer tonight." We share a laugh before letting sleep take us. Before I fall asleep I think back.... what was he trying to say before? I'm sure I'll fine out in the morning.
