Author's Notes:

Hey guys just a quick side chapter for the other team. Needed to get the thoughts out of my head so I could proceed with the next chapter. Hope you enjoy!

*Meanwhile deep beneath Canterlot*

In a torch lit room guarded by two griffons and two threshal mares, was a portal made of a dark violet crystal. It was a hexagonal pad with eight crystalline that arched upwards. It lit brightly as two ponies, Blaze followed by Ruby phased into existence. The guards saluted as they past. They entered a hallway with portraits. Ruby walked beside his sister admiring her from the rear. Then something occured to him. What was it Blaze had said the night befrore? Abomination of the natural order or something? He wasn't sure, he was bad at remembering finer details even from the night prior, but he was sure it was something along those lines. He sped up coming side by side with Blaze catching her attention. Not stopping she looked at him before addressing him. "What is it Ruby? You look like you want to ask me something."

He looked up at the portraits of his ancestors, ones who were griffons, changelings, and even the seapony who was their great great grandmother. "Sis, what did you mean before about the timberwolves being abominations?" he asked cutting infront of his sister stopping her in her tracks. "Why do you view them as such?"

Now he had her attention. "What exactly is bothering you Ruby?" she asked the young stallion.

"Aren't we abominations as the timberwolves are?" he asked.

"DON'T YOU EVER SAY SUCH A THING AGAIN!" Blaze screamed slapping him hard enough to send him across the hall and into a set of double doors. "Don't you dare compare me to those... those... MONSTERS! You know what they did to ME!" her voiced echoed down the hall. Ruby stood up shaken by his sisters outburst when the double doors opened revealing Solarflare.

Solarflare looked tired. She was in a robe, her mane was a mess, and she had bags under her eyes. She glared at Ruby who cowered lowering himself to the ground. "And stop being such a pussy! Grow a pair already! Solarflare isn't going to smite you or-"

"SILENCE YOURSELF BLAZE!" Solarflare roared at her younger sibling. "Look, I'm tired and you two aren't making it any easier to sleep tonight now what is going on?!" she yelled at the two ponies. Ruby was to scared to speak and Blaze simply stomped off to her room. Along the way she past a griffoness guard. "You come with me. Take your armor off and get my toys and the lubricant out." The griffoness nodded following close behind closing the doors to Blaze's room behind her.

Solarflare rubbed her temples groaning. "Ugh, I swear you two make me want to kill myself sometimes." she growled looking at Ruby who was sitting doing his best impersonation of a statue. "Well what happened?"

Ruby looked at the ground in shame. "I, um, I think I insulted Blaze on accident." he said in a sad tone pawing the ground.

"You think? Sure sounds like you did." Solarflare stated.

"All I did was ask her why e're not abominations like the timberwolves that's all! She was the one who got mad! I was just curious!" he cried hitting the ground denting the wooden floors. Solarflare looked down at Ruby who was now on the verge of tears. "I didn't mean to call her an abomination it just sounded like that. Really..."

She shook her head walking over to the smaller unicorn wrapping an arm around him. "Ruby you dunderhead." she said bonking him on the head lightly. "You know she hates timberwolves, so why id you say that?" she pulled him into a hug. "It was an accident, big sis. I swear it was an accident." He buried his face into Solarflare's chest.

She patted him on the back trying to comfort him. Great, now I'm coddling him. she thought sarcastically realizing the irony. "Look Ruby, why don't we spend the night together huh? Would you like that?"

The young stallions mood changed quickly. in a moment he was smiling looking up to his sister. "You really mean it? Quality time with you? Wee never do that anymore!" he pulled her into a death grip like hug.

"Now, now, Ruby you know the rules." he looked up at her curiously tilting his head to the side. "Protection first."

"Huh? What do you mean, 'protection'?" he didn't get what Solarflare was talking about until her lips connected with his catching him off guard. "Oh, that's what you meant. OK, well we- I was actually hoping to just spend some time with you. You know without rutting each other for the night? We never spend any time together as is, big sis."

She puffed her cheeks turning her nose up to him. "Fine be that way." she turned her back on him in mock anger and went to her room as he followed. She room was massive bed in the center of a round room with curtain s around it. The room itself was orange with several large banners hanging from it donning Solarflare's cutiemark on them.There was several bookshelves inside all surrounding the bed, one had a large vanity with a stage on it. Solareflare sure loves to see herself. Huh takes vanity mirror to a whole new level. he thought chuckling to himself.

Solarflare walked over to a large cushion, lying down on it she levitated a massive book over to a small table next to her patting the cushion with her hoof. "Come sit with me Ruby." the young stallion obeyed. He walked over sitting next to his sister on the soft cushion. She laid him down on his back before doing so herself. She stroked his cutiemark before reaching for his crotch only to be blocked by him crossing his legs. She glared at him as he stared back at her crossing his arms. "Spoil sport." she said sticking her tongue out at him. As she did so he lunged forwards assaulting her lips his tongue invading her mouth forcing her to retract hers in order to fend him off. They fought for dominance for over a minute before she submitted to him rolling over onto her back leaving him atop of her. "Fine you win for now, but serious time." she said clapping her hooves.

He rolled off her onto the cushion groaning. "Argh, but sis!" he whined.

"Oh you be quiet." she scolded. After a moment her expression softened. She wrapped both arms around his waist pulling him closer kissing him on the forehead. "Look about the other night. I realize it was a bit harsh, but I meant what I said. You need to learn to not make such mistakes Ruby. If I wasn't there there's no telling what would have happened to you two. I mean it Ruby I was worried."

"In know." he said looking up to her with a big smile on his face. "It means a lot to me to have you care about us." He rolled over onto his stomach scooting close to Solarflare so he could lean on her. "So, what lessons do you have in store for me tonight sister?"

She levitated a biology manual opening it to a chapter on genetics. "I'm going to educate you on something called eugenics." she said grinning.
