I woke up the next morning to find the fire gone out by the fireplace and that Rarity was not with me. I then remembered that I needed to go and ask Twilight. I got off the couch and I was about to leave when I heard Rarity call for me from the kitchen.

"Morning darling, are you going to see Twilight?" she asked as I turned around to see her in her nightwear robe.

"Morning my love, yeah I plan to talk to her as soon as I can." I replied.

"Well don't rush dear, just take your time and I want you and I to try something I learnt from the Spa Twins a week ago, later tonight."

"I won't...and sure, I'll try to save my energy for that, I'll be back later."

I then trotted over to kiss her lovingly before leaving the house, I was then a few feet away until I heard the door open.

"Oh darling, I completely forgot, could you take Sweetie Belle to the station? She and the other two are meeting up for a rodeo event at Appleloosa."

"Sure, I can do that, where is she?"

"I'm coming out now." Sweetie replied coming out of the house. "See you sister."

I walked with Sweetie to the station to see Applejack, Applebloom and Scootaloo.

"Mornin' there, partner." Applejack greeted.

"Morning Applejack, I'm guessing you're going along with these three." I replied.

"Sure am, Big Mac is watchin' over the farm. We haven't been to Appleloosa for a long time and for these three fillies, it'll be thier first time."

"And we can't wait to go!" Applebloom added happily.

"All aboard!" the conductor said and the fillies got on the train.

"We'll see ya later, sugarcube and don't worry, ah won't be like ah was last time, ah learned from it." Applejack said.

"Good to know, see you then."

Applejack then joined the fillies and got on board the train, I waved to them as they left the station. That's one less thing for me to do, now to visit Twilight in her castle. I walked to her castle, greeted her personal guard and entered inside and walked into the council room with the big map.

"Hey there Bond, what brings you here?" Spike asked as he was walking over the map.

"Hi Spike, I'm looking for Twilight, is she around?" I asked back.

"Sure, she's busy sorting out her books in her library room."

"Cheers."

I then left the council room and walked through castle left hallway and saw the library, I entered in to find a pile of books on the floor by an empty shelf. Twilight then popped out and saw me, she squeed in slight embarrassment but I knew that was normal.

"I guess I caught you at a busy time?" I asked.

"Nah it's okay, I'm almost done with these books." she replied, getting out of the pile.

"You do need any help?"

"Really? Thanks, just follow where I want the books to go and we'll be done."

"Okay"

After a while of following her instructions, the book shelf was now full and neatly placed.

"Thanks for doing that, but I'm sure that wasn't why you wanted to come here." Twilight said.

"You're right, I wanted to ask you something and it's a bit of a personal thing." I replied.

"A bit personal, what do you mean?"

"Well, it's like this. You know that Rarity and I are going to be parents soon and I have this idea of her and me moving in together, but in a house that is bigger than my old place. I was wondering if I could have a new and bigger house built in the empty area where the old treehouse once stood."

"You want a new home where my treehouse used to be?"

"Well, yeah."

"Hmm, sure but I think you would need a lot of help in order to have one built, it might take a long while."

"I don't mind how long it takes, well I do actually, it kinda depends on when Rarity will go into labour."

"You do raise a good point, then of course you can have it built there. Besides, the memories I have of that tree is right here in the castle."

"Awww thank you Twilight, I better go and see the Mayor about it then, laters."

"Okay Bond, see you again soon."

I then gave her a quick hug and left the castle. I then walked to the Town Hall to see the Mayor.

"Ah greetings Prince Bond Racer, what can I do for you?" the Mayor greeted.

I then explained to her about the housing subject and she seemed to smile all the way through.

"Well, this is quite a challenge, but one that I am sure the builders can handle with." she then grabbed out a form. "Very well, consider yourself having a new and improved home for you and Rarity, just sign a few of these and my building team will get to work."

"Done, thank you Mayor, I will go now."

"Just be careful of the snowballs, it is still Winter."

She was right, it was still Winter and speaking of which, I went inside the cafe and had a hot meal to keep myself warm.

A few hours had passed and I saw a team of builders in thier winter outfits walking by and towards the empty area of the town. One of them pulled out a blueprint of a home, looks like they're about to start working. I then thought of making myself useful and actually help them out on how I want my house to be like.

I left the cafe and was about to ask them when I heard my name called out from another home.

"Bond Racer, over here!" a voice called, I turned my head to see Coco Pommel, I haven't seen her for a while.

"What is it, Coco?" I asked as I walked over.

"It's Trenderhoof, could you get him to a hospital, I think he may have swallowed something bad." she said worryingly.

"I'll do my best."

I trotted with Coco into her home and placed Trenderhoof on my back, he looked worse for wear and I galloped to the hospital with him, when I got in. I got Nurse Redheart to take him off me and he was placed on a hospital bed, they told me he will be taken care of.

That's another issue settled I thought to myself. I left the hospital and went over to the builders and asked them about how the new house would look and they assured that they had it all covered from the ceiling to the doorway and a special room for a crib.

I giggled on the inside, but I was pleased that they thought of everything for me and Rarity. So I left them be to get on with thier building and went back to my current home, it did look a bit on the small side, but it was great to know that I'll be moving to a bigger home.

It was almost sunset by the time I had done all of the packing in my home, I then left my home and saw the train pull in, looks like they're back from the rodeo event. I walked over to the station and saw Applejack climb out with a huge golden trophy.

"Wow!" I exclaimed. "I take it the rodeo went well."

"It sure did, ah won myself this 'ere trophy!" Applejack replied, feeling proud of herself.

"Did anything else happen?"

"It's a long story." Applebloom replied, feeling slightly down.

"Oh I hope it wasn't to do with trying to get your cutie marks."

"I'm afraid it was." Scootaloo said, "We just forgot about what Princess Luna told us, but we'll remind ourselves about it from now on."

"Well in any case, I'll take Sweetie Belle to Rarity's home."

Applejack nodded and left the station with Applebloom and Scootaloo. I walked home with Sweetie Belle and she told me all about what happened at the rodeo and how they met a stallion who was called Trouble Shoes and how they were able to help him see what his cutie mark meant.

"Well, I guess you three continue to learn more about cutie marks and the like. It also reminds me of what my cutie mark is, I should do some DJ gigs at some point, so I don't neglect my cutie mark any further."

"I'm sure you will." Sweetie replied as we walked into Rarity's home. "Rarity, I'm home."

"Ahhh Sweetie Belle, I'll be down soon. Bond darling, come up here, please." she said.

I then trotted upstairs as Sweetie went into her bedroom. I walked into the dressing room to see Rarity with a few wax candles lit and the room was a bit on the dark side as well. I was kinda taken back to see how sexy she was in her black angel outfit.

"Here darling, I want us to try these wax massages, it should help with keeping our bodies firm and soft." she said.

"Uhh okay then...I'll try." I replied, feeling slightly shy.

She explained how it all worked and she went first in massaging me and it felt so soothing and incredibly satisfying. After she was done, I took my turn in massaging her and she was feeling like she was in heaven and that everything around her was like a day at the beach with me behind her.

"Ooooh my dear, you are quite a natural...by the way, how did the housing idea go?"

"Much better than I thought, Twilight was more than happy to let me have the new house built where her treehouse used to be and the Mayor seemed very keen on having the bigger home built for the two of us...and our soon to be foal."

"That is fabulous news, Bond...now we'll be able to have a home together and I'll still get to have my boutique."

"Yeah, but it might take a few days so it can be built, I've packed up all of my stuff in my old house in advance. In the meantime, I'm thinking of sleeping here with you again tonight if you want to."

"Awww as much as I want you to, I think you should sleep in your old house for now, Sweetie Belle will be here for a few days and she might need me for a few things, but I will always be here if you need me as well."

"Okay Rarity, I love you dear, I'll see you again."

"Love you too darling, have a good night."

We then shared a passionate kiss before I left her home and trotted back to my old house. It was quite different seeing all the boxed full and packed around the house, I made sure that some of my personal stuff was boxed up and well hidden. After I had a quick dinner, I decided to have an early sleep before I heard a knock on the door and I answered it.

"Hi Prince Bond, I wanna thank you for saving me today." Trenderhoof said.

"Hi Trenderhoof, it was my pleasure and it needed to be done." I replied.

"Yeah, Coco was worried for me, can you believe that? I think she may have a crush on me."

"Well you never know, you could try your luck and see what happens, but you don't have to take my word for it."

"I'll try anyway, it can't really hurt...see you again, Prince."

He then bowed and left and I closed the door. I then got into my bed and as I fell asleep, I began to smile. Hard to believe that after six years of living in this house, I'm going to be moving out into a much bigger home. It's going to be amazing once it's done and even more so when Rarity and I move in together. I'm sure the rest of our friends will be able to help when the times comes, time to sleep and dream.
