Whats love got to do with it?
Chapter 21: 21. Polygamy and sinister plans
Previous Chapter Next ChapterMorning broke across the sky with pleasant weather. It was mildly cloudy out as Pegasi were placing clouds in specific spots across the sky. Midnight awoke to a series of pats on his nose. He gave a small yawn as he opened his eyes to see a little white bunny sitting on an end table in front of him. his little arms cross and a disgruntled expression across his face.
"Hey little guy, morning." Midnight yawned again stretching his wings out.
Angel noticed Fluttershy as soon as Midnight lifted his wing from over her while stretching. The little bunny looked from Fluttershy back to Midnight with an angry expression. He stamped his foot repeatidly giving a huff. Midnight raised an eyebrow but didn't pay the little bunny any mind. Midnight turned his head to Fluttershy giving her a gentle nudge.
"Hey there Shy. Time to wake up." He nosed her cheek gently. She gave a tired yawn coming to. Her eyes slowly opening as she took in her surroundings.
"Hmmm?" she looked to Midnight her eyes fluttering open wide as she remembered last night. A blush crossed her face as she moved from the cloud onto the floor making her way silently into the kitchen to start breakfast, Angel bunny hot
on her hooves.
Midnight gave another yawn Turning his head to the three fillies on his back. "Time to wake up girls." He smiled seeing them stir a little.
"Mmmmmmm 5 more minutes." Scootaloo said stretching out.
"Yea." Sweetiebelle groaned burying her face into Midnights wing.
"*yawn* Ok. Thanks for letting me sleep in Big Mac." Applebloom yawned a little rubbing her eyes. Once she opened them she saw Midnight smiling at her.
"Huh? Oh that's right. We stayed at Fluttershy's last night." She smiled at Midnight then hopped down from his side straight through the cloud landing on the floor. Midnight stretched again pressing his hooves through the cloud to the floor below making the cloud dissipate quickly as he took a few steps behind Applebloom.
"Fluttershy sounds like shes making breakfast. You girls can stay if you'd like but I really need to get going. I have a lot of things I need to do today."
Midnight smiled levitating the other two fillies from his back and placing them onto the couch.
"Thanks Uncle Midnight, we'll stay'round here for a bit, we still need'tah try that zookeeping thingy to get our cutiemarks." Applebloom smiled.
Midnight smiled back as he rounded the corner into the kitchen seeing Fluttershy preparing a small breakfast for the fillies and herself. She had overheard Midnight saying he needed to go so prepared a smaller breakfast.
"I'll try to come by more often to say hello Fluttershy. It has been fun but I need to go. Thank you for inviting us to stay last night." He smiled causing her to smile happily to him.
"Oh..... it was no trouble at all. It was very nice to sleep on a cloud for the first time in a while. That was the best nights sleep I've had in ages. Please do come back again." She smiled but lowered her gaze to the stubborn bunny smacking at her hoof with his little foot to get some food.
Midnight gave a chuckle as her turned heading to the front door. He watched as Applebloom shook the sleeping fillies awake as he exited. Applebloom giving a giggle at them as she was used to getting up early to help on the farm with her sister and brother.
Upon exiting Fluttershy's home he was greeted with a cold wind that sent a shiver down his spine, his firey mane brightened at the sudden shock.He gazed, around looking at many of the trees, the colors were beginning to change on the leaves, It was getting later on in the year and closer to winter. The air was relatively silent as it swept through the land. Many animals and insects were getting ready for winter as the time was coming to fruition. It would only be a couple months before the snows started to cover the land leaving a bright white blanket behind. Midnight took in a deep breath feeling the cold air fill his lungs. He released it quickly shooting flames from his nostrils making his blood flow. Opening his wings he shot
off into the air like a bullet over the Everfree forest, quickly gaining altitude.
He looked around seeing little cloud cover. He banked slowly turning back to Ponyville. After a few minutes he
arrived in town, landing next to Rarity's boutique. He unlocked the door making his way inside. Using magic to muffle his hoofsteps he made his way upstairs climbing into bed with Rarity. She shuffled slightly as he found a comfortable
spot then closed his eyes.
After a couple hours he awoke to the smell of breakfast, He looked over to the clock seeing that it was roughly ten am. Looking to his side he noticed he was alone in bed. Climbing out of bed he made his way downstairs stiffing a yawn as he came into the kitchen. Sweetiebelle was sitting there drinking a small juice box, She smiled to midnight giving a little wave. He smiled back then looking to Rarity who was cooking. He trotted quietly over to her from behind giving her a gentle nuzzle as she stepped away from what she was cooking. She gave a startled yelp looking to Midnight then giving him a quick kiss.
"EEEEEWWWWWW!" Sweetiebelle groaned watching the two making them laugh. Midnight gave Rarity a wink nodding to Sweetiebelle as they walked over to her from behind.
"Don't worry Sweetiebelle." Midnight began.
"We love you to." Rarity finished as they both pressed their lips to either of Sweetiebelles cheeks causing her to try and get away.
"EEEEEWWWW EW EW EW!" Sweetiebelle shouted trying to get away but coundn't.
Midnight and Rarity pulled back watching Sweetiebelle rub her cheeks and sticking her tongue out at them. They gave a chuckle as did Sweetiebelle.
"What's on the agenda for today love?" Midnight smiled taking a seat opposite of his niece at the table.
"Oh I don't really have anything planned for today darling. If you would like to though, we could go to the spa. I'm sure Aloe and Lotus would LOVE to give one of their specials." Rarity winked causing Midnight to face hoof.
"But you know, when Twilight and I were there last they did seem a bit nervous from learning that you are now an Alicorn." Rarity giggled as she finished cooking and made a few plates for each of them.
"So they were nervous huh? That could be fun to take advantage of." Midnight gave a big grin thinking of a few ways to torment the spa ponies. Sweetiebelle wasn't paying much attention to the conversation, finishing up her second breakfast and heading out to play with her friends.
"You know darling, I do love you, but if you wanted to have some fun with others I wouldn't really mind." Rarity smiled causing Midnight to choke on his drink.
"W-what? Are you serious?" he sputtered.
"Why of course darling. I'm not sure if you have noticed but the male population in Equestria isn't very large at all. Most males have a special somepony in their lives while few take it upon themselves to have many. It's not a surprising practice, albeit unusual. However finding mares that are not offended with sharing their male with other mares is the hard part. Just as long as you remember to come home to me then I wont argue with you." Rarity smiled giving him a loving kiss on the nose.
Midnight sat there stunned thinking over the possibilities in his head. He sat there for almost 10 minutes just going over the ideas before Rarity kissed his cheek waking him from his daze.
"Is it surprising that I would give you permission darling?" She asked cocking her head to the side slightly.
"Well................. kind of. You see, In my world it is usually against the law to practice polygamy. Very few countries practice or even allow it. Other countries ban it and make laws against it. So when you say your not against the idea of me going out and finding another pony to be an addition to our family, it does kind of surprise me."
Rarity smiled at him. "So does that mean you'll go to the spa with me?" Rarity cooed rubbing up to him giving his ear a little nibble.
Midnight laughed. "If it means I can get back at those twins, then yes. I'm all for it."
They both let out a laugh giving each other a sinister smile.
