Chapter 133: 133. Match maker Midnight
Previous Chapter Next ChapterAfter the previous days events with Braeburn, He had been placed on the couch for the night using Pinkie Pie's lap as a pillow. Midnight had taken a guest room upstairs for the night as well. When morning rolled around, Braeburn awoke to the sweet smell of cotton candy wafting through his nose. He gave a yawn and stretch as he rubbed his eyes with his forelegs to get rid of the sleep. Once his eyes opened however, his adrenaline kicked into high gear at what he saw. Pinkie was laying back against the sofa while his head rested in her lap. After a few seconds of shock he began to smile seeing the Pink party pony resting quietly, her eyes closed, and her breathing normal. Although it was an unusual sight to see her in this state, it was not unwelcome.
After another hour of just laying there and smiling as he remembered the previous nights events. Braeburn heard the soft clip clop of hooves against the wooden floor of his home from the stairs. He managed to look to the stairs without moving to much to see the Alicorn coming down them and into the living room. Midnight stopped once he saw the two ponies on the couch, and Braeburn with a bit grin. Midnight gave a quiet chuckle shaking his head as he walked into the kitchen. After a few minutes he trotted back into the living room with a small note and a tiny bag. Midnight gave a nod to Braeburn as he headed out the door without any words being exchanged.
Once Midnight had left and quietly closed the door, Braeburn opened then letter to see what he had written.
Braeburn,
Sorry to sleep and run like this but I will be back later today. I figured you two would need some time to talk things over and see where you would want your new relationship to go. Sorry for surprising you with Pinkie the other night, but after she read that note I thought she was going to explode. Never seen her like that before. Whatever you wrote in that letter must have been something to cause her to act that way. Then for her to act so calm when she arrived here surprised me even further. You've got some skill with the quill my friend, take care of her. I know she'll take care of you.
One other thing. I left you guys some bits to go out and eat or to do whatever. First dates do give the biggest impression after all. I'm not sure as to what would be the best place to go in this little town, so use your best judgement.
Midnight
"What now that's awfully nice'o him." Braeburn chuckled seeing the small bag of bits resting on his chest. He reach up and opened it giving a shocked expression as to how much was actually in there. "Ten gold bits?!" He squeaked. "Is that Alicorn insane?!"
"No, he's just really nice, and rich." Pinkie giggled as she looked down to the stallion still resting his head on her lap. "Morning."
"Uh..... Morning Pinkie." He smiled up to her nervously before she lowered her lips to his giving him a gentle kiss. Once she pulled away she looked at his shocked expression and giggled.
"Why so surprised? After what you wrote in that letter, a kiss is the least I could offer in return." She blushed giving a sincere smile.
"Well........... it took me a long time to write the perfect letter to express how I felt without coming off as a bumbling foal." He chuckled as he pulled himself upright. "It took me almost a year to write that letter."
"Wow, a whole year? How long have you had your eye on me?" She grinned giving a seductive flutter of her eyes, making him blush further.
"Honestly, around three years. It was when AJ brought that apple tree over from Ponyville while we were havin trouble with the local buffalo tribe, that's when I couldn't take my mind off'o ya." He smiled sheepishly.
"Awwwwww, that's so sweet." She smiled before wrapping the stallion into a hug. He doing the same to her.
"Well, since Midnight was nice enough teh give us a thousand bits teh spend for our first date. What would you like to do?"
As the two ponies sat on the couch discussing what they wanted to do for their first date, Midnight was now in the middle of town trying to figure out what to make of everything around him.

"Let's see here." Midnight spoke softly as he looked at a map of the small town. "Bar, bar bar, another bar, bakery, store, store, one more store, tools and equipment store.........." He trailed off looking at the last spot on the list. "Brothel?!" He grinned as he looked at it then down the street to that specific building. "Didn't know brothels were legal in this world, think I'll check it out." He chuckled as the map floated back into his stash portal and trotted down the street.
As he arrived at the brothel, he looked around to see that it was very well kept and clean compared to what he had seen in western shows from his home world on tv. After a minute of looking at the decor and taking in how beautiful the entire building was on the inside, a young mare strode up to him dressed in what looked like a brothel girl outfit. Lace and frilly cloth covering most of the dress, most of it a dark red while the lace was black and white. The heavy scent of perfume lingering around her.
"Good afternoon sir............" She trailed off seeing that he was an alicorn and quickly bowed in his presence.
"No need for that my dear, I'm not royalty, just another pony on vacation." He chuckled as he watched her hesitate while rising.
"Very well then, what can we do for you?" She asked while cocking her head.
"Am I to assume that this map is correct?" He asked while pulling the map from his stash spot and showing it to her, she looked at it and then to the ALicorn before her before giving a nod causing him to replace the map into his stash.
"Alright then, what are your hourly rates?" He smirked causing the young mare to beam as she began talking the prices over with him as she led him into the next room.

After about an hour of relaxing on a large couch with quite a few mares in his presence, all of which were trying their best to garner his attention just to them, he stopped as he noticed a door open nearby as two ponies came out of the room it led to. First a stallion with a large handlebar mustache and a ten gallon hat. The a very pretty mare with a painted pony coat. while most of her face was white, she had a long brown patch of fur running the length of snout and up her forehead into her mane. Her mane was a bright white along with several streaks of brown in it. Midnight leaned down to the mare he had spoken with once he had stepped into the brothel earlier.
"Who is that pretty thing?" He asked nodding to the mare as she trotted back into another room.
"Ah I see you've noticed our most popular employee. That one is called Venus and is by far one of the more skilled ponies here." She giggled seeing his expression.
"What's her hourly fee?" He asked giving a smirked to her.
"Uh....... well, its a hundred bits, but I think you should kno..........." She was cut off as Midnight pressed a gold bit to the young mare. "I'll let them know. You can take that room in the far corner." She nodded toward a door on the far side of the room.
Midnight nodded back as he stood up eliciting an aw from the other mares in his presence. "Sorry ladies, maybe next time." He smirked giving them a wink and causing them all to giggle. Once he had arrived in the room he looked around to see how lavish it was compared to the main room of the brothel. Many pillows lined a large bed in the corner of the room while mirrors adorned the ceiling above it. Over on the far side of the room opposite of the bed there was an open door leading to a bathroom. A fireplace was on the other side of the room near the bed, a small fire moving about in it but wasn't producing any heat.
"Guess its a magical fire." Midnight chuckled as he headed toward the bed and plopping down before giving his wings a stretch. As he folded his wings once again he heard a knock at the door as the young painted pony strode in giving a nervous smile. She stopped as she looked at the Alicorn before her laying on the bed.
"Well now, I thought the girls were just trying to trick me into believing I had a powerful stallion as a customer waiting in here, guess I owe them an apology." The pony giggled softly as they strode up to Midnight looking him over.
"Your a bigun alright." The pony smirked. "But nothing I can't handle."
Midnight gave a sly smirk as he began. "Well I can always change my size if that's any consolation." He chuckled seeing her press forward onto the bed and giving him a rough push over onto his back before laying onto his chest.
"That's alright, I think this is just fine." She smirked before roughly kissing him.
After a short period of time, Venus pulled away giving a smile down to the Alicorn before slowly moving down his chest to the area below but was halted as Midnight pulled the pony back up.
"Now now, I know your eager but I think it only to be appropriate for me to get you going as well." He chuckled as his horn lit up as he began to slowly strip the pony.
"Uh........ I don't think you should......" The pony trailed off as the clothing was suddenly pulled away.
"What? Don't tell me your just into oral and nothing else." He said while cocking a brow. "A pretty young mare like yourself not wanting a good rut while working here?"
The young ponys attention snapped to as she looked at Midnight in surprise before speaking nervously. "D-did you just say mare?"
"Yes, why do you.................." The gear in Midnights head began to turn as the sudden realization hit him hard. This young pony had just asked if he had called her a mare. This could only mean one thing he thought before using his magic to lift the pony from him into the air as his eyes went wide at what he saw.

Braeburn and Pinkie were walking down the street to try and find out where to go when they heard an ear shattering scream coming from the end of the street just before seeing Midnight running from a building shrieking in terror. Midnight bolted down the street toward the two ponies and picked them up with his magic as he bolted down the street further and rushing into Braeburns house with the two ponies in tow.
"Weeeeeeeeeeeee that was fun, can we do it again?!" Pinkie shouted with glee while Braeburn looked a little green from the sudden rush. After a second the two ponies looked around to see Midnight nowhere in sight.
"Midnight? Where'd you go? Braeburn spoke up only to hear a mumbling from upstairs. Slowly the two ponies climbed the stairs until they arrived at a closed door to a guest room. After giving a knock the mumbling stopped as the door slowly opened revealing the two ponies. They looked around the room to see the small licking of a flame on the other side of the bed from the floor and slowly moved to the side of the bed to see Midnight in the fetal position as his mouth moved in soft mumbles.
"Night?" Pinkie spoke out coming to his side and looking at him with worry as he continued to mumble softly.
"Hey, you ok Midnight?" Braeburn asked as he came over and leaned his head down to listen to what he was saying, after a second he pulled back asking Pinkie to leave the room. She gave a sad expression but left, closing the door behind her.
The stallion pulled the Alicorn upright so that he could talk to him eye to eye.
"I'm guessing got pulled inteh getting with a pretty face to didn't'cha?" Braeburn chuckled.
Midnight looked up to Braeburn quickly reaching out with his hooves and grabbing his face as he pulled him directly to his face staring him in the eyes as four words left his mouth with venom.
"Venus has a penis!" He said before releasing Braeburn who just laughed.
"Yea, surprised me to when ah went there not long after he was hired. Poor fella pulls off a mare purty well don't he." He laughed. "Never been with a stallion before that day. He had a mean set'o lips though." He chuckled while blushing furiously. "Never did go back to that brothel after ah found out though." As he stopped he looked to Midnight who had a look of untold fury in his eyes causing him to back away slowly but stopp as he was pulled right to Midnight's face once again with his magic.
"You mean you KNEW?!" He snorted.
"Y-yea, but ya never asked, and if'n I knew you were headed there, I woulda warned ya." He chuckled nervously.
Midnight gave a sigh letting the stallion go. "Sorry." He began. "I was just surprised that there are brothels existing in this world and did even think that there would be stallions in them as well. But if you will excuse me I am going to go and take a long shower and cry for a while." He shuddered at the thought of Venus.
"Well, afor ya go, ah'd like teh request a favor." He smiled. "Do ya think ya could teleport Pinkie an me teh Ponyville? After some talking we decided that a long distance relationship wouldn't work, so I'm moving teh Ponyville."
Midnight sat there in shock for a moment before smiling. "Well now, isn't this a bit quick on the draw?" He asked seeing Braeburn smile.
"Ah've got three years teh make up for big guy. Pinkie is moving a might fast as well, She already considers me her colt friend." He chuckled.
"That's Pinkie for ya. But if your moving, where will you stay? Pinkie lives with her employers currently and I doubt they would allow you to move in."
"Well, ah was planning on selling mah house here an using the bits to buy a house there, but ah sure don't want teh sell this place. It belonged to mah great grand pappy." He sighed.
"How about I move the house for you?" Midnight asked giving a smirk and causing him to gawk.
"You kin do that?" He asked in total shock.
"Yea, how about we do it now? I'd love nothing more than to get as far away as possible from this town right now." He shuddered.
After a couple minutes of talking, the three ponies left the house as Midnight's horn lit up opening his stash portal over top of the house and slowly lowering it around the house to the ground before closing it. A quick teleport later they arrived in Ponyville, Braeburn left the group to head toward town hall to buy a plot of land while Pinkie went to Sugar Cube Corner to tell the Cakes about what had happen earlier the previous day. A couple hours went by when Braeburn met with Midnight one again to show him where his new plot of land would be. A few minutes walk and they arrived at the area. To Midnight surprise it was directly across from his old house outside of Sweet Apple Acre's.
"Well that's a surprise." Midnight smirked. "Had to be close to your cousin didn't you." He smirked.
"Yea, Every time we hold a family reunion, the inn will always be sold out for rooms for the family, plus all the guest rooms are taken in mah cousins house. Even the couch. It's a right mess at times, so ah figgered why not add another house close by for some of the family to stay in." He chuckled.
"Yea, plus I can visit Applejack all the time to help out around the farm when I'm not at Sugar Cube Corner." Pinkie piped up giving a smile.
"Well then. Let's get started." Midnight smiled as his portal was opened up on the ground and slowly lifted upwards revealing Braeburns home.
"Fantastic, sure wish ah could have that kinda power sometimes. It'd make things a might easier to do. But being an earth pony has its perks as well." He chuckled as Pinkie leaned up to him rubbing her cheek to his.
"Alright you two, I'm heading back since everything is taken care of. Tell AJ I said hi." Midnight smiled before disappearing in a flash of light back to Appleoosa.
"Well then." Braeburn smiled. "How about we go grab something teh eat and get a few groceries for our new home."
"Sounds good to me." Pinkie smiled happily before giving her stallion a quick kiss on the cheek.
Another day, another shipping. Things are coming together for all of these ponies. What could be held for them in the future though? Only time will tell.
