Fiery, Fluttershy, and Octavia had just gotten to the town hall in the middle of Ponyville when they had seen the spa twins and Nurse Redheart standing outside of the building waiting for somepony as it had seemed to them. Octavia had walked up in front of the three to ask what was going on. “Aloe, Lotus, Redheart, what are you three doing here?”

The pink Earth Pony mare Aloe, almost identical to her twin in every way except for their colors reversed, responded. “Oh, Octavia! Um… We had come here because we were summoned by the guards to do so.”

“What? Whatever for?”

The three mares shrugged their shoulders. It was then that Fiery and Fluttershy had finally caught up with Octavia. “Hey ‘Tavi, why did you run off like that?”

“Oh Fiery! I had run off because I saw these three standing here and it looked like they were waiting for somepony. I had come up to ask them and they said they were summoned here by the guards.”

Fiery was about to respond when he saw who the three she was talking about. Two of them he recognized almost immediately, with images flashing back to the day before, and began to turn his head away trying to forget those images in public. It was then he had noticed a bright white mare with a red cross on her flank. He opened his mouth to speak to her. “Oh, hello. I don’t think I’ve met you before.”

The white mare began to blush and turned to the spa twins for help, for what Fiery couldn’t tell. She began to quickly go over herself before answering making sure everything was in order, then finally spoke. “O-oh, h-hello Mr. um…”

“Strings, Fiery Strings.” Fiery answered for her.

The white mare smiled at him and began to blush even harder. “Hello Mr. Strings… I’m, um, Nurse Redheart.” She smiled at him.

Fiery saw her blushing up and when he heard her name, he understood why. “O-oh… Um, I-I’ve heard about you Ms. Redheart… Um… From what I’ve heard you…”

“Yes.” She almost immediately responded.

Fiery was feeling extremely awkward discussing such topics with a mare he just met, and in public no less, but if she was willing, he wasn’t going to turn her down. “O-oh, that’s, um, good… Yes, good…” He tried to quickly think of something else to get off topic. “So… You were saying that you were summoned here by the guards for some reason?”

“Um, yes, that’s correct. They said that I was to come here and wait for somepony. That’s when I had met Aloe and Lotus here and they had said that they were told the same thing.”

“I see…” ‘I wonder who they could be forced to be waiting for.’ Just then, the same pink pony with black mane and tail with a typewriter for a cutie mark that Fiery had a bad ‘relationship’ (If you could call it that) came out of the front door of the building and spoke. ‘Fuck… Just who I DIDN’T want to see…’

She gave a glare in the direction of Fiery before speaking to the six of them. “I am to assume that this is everypony then?”

They all gave each other confused looks before turning back to the pink mare. “Um… Excuse me Ms…”

“Typist.” If she could spit venom, she would have after saying her name in the direction of Fiery.

“Um, yes… Ms. Typist… What are you talking about?”

The pink mare sighed and rolled her eyes in frustration at him. “The mayor has been expecting you and your candidates for a while now. Now, if you could be so kind…”

This time Octavia spoke up. “O-oh, um, alright Ms. Typist, will do.” And with that the six of them began to walk after the typist into the hall.

As they got to the mayor’s door, they were stopped while the secretary went in to make sure the mayor was ready to see them all, closing the door behind her. After several minutes of what sounded like a cat-fight going on inside the room, the secretary came back out, looking like a mess, announcing to them that the mayor was ready.

The six nodded to the secretary and walked inside to the mayor’s office, where it seemed that a tornado just went through it as the mayor was scrambling around trying to quickly tidy up for her guests. “Oh, excuse me you six, I had a little trouble with Debra, as she caught me goofing off. Then again, what are you suppose to do in a town where almost nothing happens? Just sit on your toosh all day waiting for the final bell to ring so you can run out back home?”

The six of them looked completely confused at how the mayor was acting, but then Fiery spoke up. “Um… It’s been a while Ms. Mare.”

“Ah! Mr. Strings, good to see you again. I’m hoping your housing conditions have been excellent so far?”

“Um, yeah… Would have been nice of you to not leave me on the front porch by myself though.”

The mayor began to laugh a little before apologizing to him. “I’m sorry Mr. Strings, but I had other things I had to attend to. But enough of that, are these five with you?” She said, pointing to each of the mares.

Before Fiery could answer, Octavia answered for him. “Yes Mayor Mare, if I’m guessing what you’re talking about, then all five of us are with Fiery.”

“Alright then, names?”

The five mares looked at each other confused. “Um… Mayor?”

“Yes?”

“Why do you need to know our names? I thought you knew them all already?”

“Oh, I do Ms. Pie, and I must say, I’m surprised that Ms. Fluttershy is here among you-“ Fluttershy whimpered a little and hid behind Fiery, where he only laughed a little to himself, finding her extremely cute for doing it. “But if you must know, I need your names to set up this ranking system.” The mayor pulled out a large piece of paper with the name ‘Fiery Strings’ on top of it with the word ‘Harem:’ next to it.

“After I get all of your names, I’m going to have to talk to Mr. Strings here about what positions he wants you girls in. Now, names?” She repeated herself once more. The mares, now understanding the situation, began to list off their names.

“Octavia Pie.”

“Redheart Winters.”

“Aloe and Lotus Nefertiti”

“F-f-fluttershy H-h-h…” But Fluttershy was unable to get out her last name.

Fiery turned to her to try to calm her down. “Shh, it’s alright Fluttershy. I’m here with you, you don’t need to be embarrassed.”

“I-i-it’s not that F-fiery…”

“Then what is it Fluttershy?”

“I-i-its b-because of what m-my l-last name is.”

“Oh come now Fluttershy, it can’t be all bad, right?” Redheart tried cheering the yellow pegasus up. “There’s nothing wrong with your last name, besides, don’t you want Fiery to know how successful you are?”

The other mares turned to Redheart with confused looks. “What do you mean how successful she is?”

“I think that’s something Fluttershy should tell us, I have no right in saying it.” Redheart smiled at them. “Now come on Fluttershy, there’s nothing to be embarrassed about.”

“A-a-alright, I-I-I s-suppose y-you’re right. I-I would have t-to tell F-fiery about it s-soon a-anyways…” Fiery and the others, except for Redheart, looked at her waiting for the answer that would soon surprise them. “M-my l-last name i-is H-h-h…” She still wasn’t able to get it out and ‘eep’ed and fled behind Fiery once more.

“Oh for the love of-! Fluttershy! You have to tell us! Please!” Fiery tried telling her. She only looked up at him with puppy eyes with tears about to come out. Fiery sighed. “Fine, how about I do this then?”

The mares in the room all gasped, with exception of one upset Octavia, as Fiery had leaned in to kiss Fluttershy, surprising her. After he had done that, her eyes went wide in surprise, but then she had calmed down some and had closed her eyes to enjoy the kiss.

After a while of kissing, Fiery finally broke away from the pegasus. “Feel better now?” He asked. She opened her eyes halfway and smiled at him, nodding. “Alright, want to tell us now?”

“Alright Fiery… For you…” She said in a much calmer voice. “My last name is Hippocrene…” She said while still being enchanted by the kiss Fiery had given her.

All the mares in the room, except for Redheart once again, as well as Mayor Mare, gasped in utter surprise. Fiery only stood there completely confused, not knowing what it meant. Finally, Octavia had been able to speak. “F-fluttershy… A-are you saying t-that you’re a-a part of o-one of-“

“One of the richest families in Equestria? The one that has close ties to the princesses as well?” Mayor Mare had finished for Octavia. “Indeed she is.” The mayor smiled at the astonished and stunned ponies.

Then it finally hit Fiery. “Waaaait, wait a minute… Are you saying that Fluttershy is super rich?”

“F-fiery… I-if what Mayor Mare and what Fluttershy said is true… T-then… She’s the only daughter of one of the most prestigious families in all of Equestria, nay, the world!” Octavia spoke to him. “T-they… They basically own something in everything! From diapers to the steel and iron used to create the armor and swords for Princess Celestia’s and Princess Luna’s special guards!”

Fiery stood there a while, filtering the data he had just received in his head about what Fluttershy was and how rich she was until he was finally able to think of a single word. ‘… FUCK!’

Vinyl was sitting upstairs watching Fiery’s television like she usually did when she was bored and had nothing else to do. Suddenly, over the volume of the television, Vinyl was barely able to hear a knocking on the door from downstairs. She turned off the TV and rolled off Fiery’s bed that had freshly been changed.

She walked downstairs heading for the door that was still continuing. “Yeah, yeah, I’m coming, hold your flanks.” She called out to the unknown pony at the door. She got to it and swung the door open to reveal the pink party pony herself, Pinkie Pie, with a ton of cooking supplies on her back. “Hey Pinkie, glad you could make it.” Vinyl greeted her.

“Hi Vivi, is Octi and Fifi here?”

“Nope, there over at the town hall getting something done with, but enough of about them, how about you come in? I’m sure you want to set those things down.” Vinyl responded pointing to the supplies.

“That sounds good Vivi.” She then arched her back in a way to throw the supplies off with Vinyl catching them in mid air with her magic. “Wow Vivi, I didn’t know you were so good with your magic!”

“Well, I’m not just all looks you know.” Vinyl responded grinning. They both began to giggle a little while Vinyl invited Pinkie inside. “Do you want to relax some before starting? Dinner isn’t for another 8 hours you know.”

“Okey Dokey Lokey!” Vinyl laughed a little bit more at the insane pink pony. “Why are you laughing?”

“Because Pinkie, you’re just so silly, and I like that about you.”

“Awww, I like you too Vivi. HUGS!” Pinkie pulled Vinyl in for a huge hug with no resistance and sat there hugging her for a few moments before finally letting go. Both of them were laughing as they hugged each other.

“So…” Vinyl started. “What do you want to do for a few hours before you have to start?”

“Well… I heard Fifi has a TV upstairs, maybe we can do something with that?”

Vinyl looked confused. “What would we watch? It’s not like he has anything that we’re able to access, and besides which, I was watching just a few minutes ago and there was nothing on.”

“Oh you silly filly, of course we’re able to access his stuff! Remember?”

Vinyl now looked even more confused. “Huh?”

“You gave him his laptop right?”

“Yeah… So?”

“Well, all we gotta do is enter his password and then stream the stuff onto the TV! It’ll be so much fun!”

Vinyl stayed silent a while before responding to the party pony. “Princess Celestia?”

“Princess Celestia.”

“Well Pinkie, if you know what you’re doing, then by all means, be my guest!” Vinyl grinned once more.

The two of them went upstairs to find Fiery’s laptop on his dresser where he had put it before he left with Fluttershy and Octavia. “So…” Vinyl started. “You absolutely know what you’re doing Pinkie? You’re not the one who has to live with Fifi if he gets angry about this.”

“Of course Vivi, I’ve seen Fifi do this a million times before.”

Vinyl was about to question her further about what she meant, but kept silent about it, thinking it was Pinkie being Pinkie. Pinkie had been able to get to the password screen with no trouble and was able to guess the correct password on the first try. Again, Vinyl only thought it was Pinkie being Pinkie. After the laptop finally got to its main screen, Vinyl questioned something about it. “Hey, what’s with the orange ‘I’ Pinkie?”

“Hay if I know.”

“But I thought you said you knew what you were doing and knew everything about Fifi?”

“I never said that silly filly. Besides, I only said I saw him do it a million times, I never said I was able to hear him, now did I?”

“I suppose not…”

“Good! Now, let’s search for the movies he has on here.”

“I just thought you said you didn’t know everything about this?”

“Hmm… Let’s see here…”

“Pinkie…”

“What? I’m telling the truth! I don’t know everything! What am I? Yahweh?”

“What?”

“Nevermind. Now, let’s search for those movies.”

“Okay…”

After several minutes of searching his laptop, Pinkie was finally able to come across the folder containing his movies. “Jackpot!”

“What? You get it already?”

“Yep!”

“Okay… So what are we going to watch then?”

“I don’t know, it says here he has over 500 movies on his list.”

“Wow, that’s… a lot…”

“I’d say. Hey! You want to start with the first one and see how long we can go before finally giving up?”

“Don’t you have to start cooking dinner in a few hours? Besides, I’m sure Fiery would be mad to come home finding us going through his things without his permission…”

“Oh Vivi, you worry too much. But I suppose you’re right about the time thing. Okey Dokey Lokey! Let’s just a pick a random one then!”

“How are we going to do that?”

“Easy peezy, I just shuffle the folder and click on a random movie.”

“Alright…”

After much messing around with his movie collection, Pinkie was finally able to pick a movie. “Ooh, here’s one.”

“What? What is it?”

“It’s called ‘Pulp Fiction’… Sounds fun!”

“I guess that’s alright…”

“Alright then! In it goes!” Pinkie said to her companion as she set up the equipment needed for the laptop to stream onto the TV.

“Where in Equestria did you get all that stuff Pinkie?”

“Easy! I had it on me when I came in.”

“Oh…”

After finally setting up the TV and laptop, they both took comfort on Fiery’s bed and started to watch the film while they waited for Fiery and Octavia to return home.

‘…FUCK!’ Fiery thought to himself as he just heard that Fluttershy was a part of one of the richest families in Equestria.

Octavia noticed Fiery staring blankly and waved a hoof in front of his face. “Um… Hello? Equestria to Fiery.”

Fiery snapped out of his dazed state at the mention of his name. “Huh? Oh, sorry about that ‘Tavi.”

“What was that about?”

“Well… Just sort of freaked out I guess…”

“You and me both.”

“But enough of that. Fluttershy!” He turned to the timid pegasus.

She squeaked at Fiery when he said her name. “Y-yes Fiery?” She barely got out.

“You never told me you were a part of a super rich family.”

“You never asked her.” Octavia butted in.

“Alright, fair enough. But anyways, do you know what this means Fluttershy?”

“N-no… Not really…”

“It means that I’m fu- um… Screwed…”

“And tell me Fiery, why exactly, may I ask, would you be screwed?” Octavia asked him.

“Because, usually the parents who are super rich and have a girl are usually extremely strict when it comes to boyfriends.”

“And how do you know that exactly?”

“… Tv… Movies…”

Octavia facehoofed. “Fiery…”

“O-oh! But you wouldn’t need to worry Fiery… My parents are very caring after all.”

Fiery sat there a while and thought about it. He finally sighed. “I guess I’ll have to trust you Fluttershy… I mean, what other choice do I have?”

“You still have the four of us Fiery.” Aloe spoke out. Octavia rolled her eyes.

“Right… Anyways, now that we’re done apparently being shocked at Fluttershy being super rich… What’s next mayor?”

“Well first off I need to know if that’s everypony.”

“Um… Oh! Actually we have one more, but she had to stay back home to wait for some’pony’”

“Oh? And who would that be?”

“Vinyl Scratch.”

“Very well then.” The mayor added the name to this list. “Anypony else that I should know about?”

Fiery thought about it for a minute. “Nope, not that I’ve been told at least.”

“Very well then… Next I need to know what experience you’ve had with the mares.”

Everypony blushed. “Ex-experience? Um…”

“Yes, experience, as in sexual experience.”

“C-can we do this in private? I mean…”

The mayor got a smile on her face. “What? Afraid of what your candidates might hear?”

“No… It’s just… Kinda embarrassing is all…”

“Ah baloney. Now come, what is the experience you’ve had so far?”

“W-well… So far, I-I’ve had… Um…”

“Yes…?”

“Is this really necessary mayor? I mean, this really should be kept private?” Octavia asked.

“Oh? And why’s that? Afraid of what the other mares might hear as well Ms. Pie?”

Octavia blushed even harder from before. “N-no! I-it’s just-“

“I’ll tell you.” Fiery interrupted.

“F-fiery! No!”

“I know ‘Tavi, I know, but I mean, what else can we do?”

“I-I guess…”

“Now then, for the mares I’ve done… ‘it’, with… They would be ‘Tavi, as well as Aloe and Lotus.”

“Very well, what did you do with them?”

“D-do I really need to tell you?”

“No, not really, just thought I’d see if you would fall for that or not.” The mayor gave a very Vinyl like grin.

“Great… Anyways, what’s next?”

“Next I tell you that until you do the rest of the mares, they’re basically free agents, in a sense.”

“… Meaning?”

“Meaning that so long they don’t have sex with you, some other stallion is able to come by and pick them up for themselves.”

“Oh… I-I see… Um…”

“Um, if you don’t mind me speaking.” Redheart spoke out.

“Yes Ms. Winters?”

“Um… I-is there some way to fix that right away?”

“Yes, it’s called having sex with the stallion of the harem you wish to join, until then, he can set up your position but you will not officially become a part of it until he comes back and officially announces it to the state.”

‘Jesus this is so fucked up…’ “Alright then, so what you’re saying is that in order to make sure that no other stallion takes them, I must have sex with Fluttershy, RedHeart, and Vinyl?”

“That’s correct.”

Fiery turned to RedHeart and Fluttershy. “Um…”

“I’ll do it.” RedHeart spoke out to him.

“Okay… I’m sorry if I’m not so hesitant, it’s just…”

“I know, we haven’t known each other for a long enough period of time, but… Ever since I saw you… I wanted to be yours Mr. Strings.”

“Please, just Fiery, or if you like it, Fifi.” He smiled to her. She smiled back.

Octavia coughed getting their attention of the other mares in the room. “Do we really need to do this right now?”

“Well when would we do it then ‘Tavi?”

“I-I don’t know… B-but still!”

“I know ‘Tavi, I know… But like I said, what else can we do?”

“Ugh, fine… Go ahead and get it over with, but I’m not happy about it…”

“Thanks ‘Tavi.” ‘Though I really wasn’t expecting it.’ “Um… Ms. Mayor?”

“Yes Mr. Strings?”

“Is… Is there a room to…”

“You can use mine.” She said, pointing to a door to the left of her.

‘She lives inside the town hall? Geez…’ “Um, are you sure about that?”

“Of course, I’ll be happy to help the ponies of this town in any way possible, and don’t worry, the room is sound proof for occasions just like this.”

“Right… Anyways, Flu-“ He was beginning to say when he turned to Fluttershy, only to find her on the ground completely frozen and fainted. “… Well then, I guess I don’t have to worry about her…”

“*Sigh* Don’t worry Fifi… I’ll make sure I’ll bring her back home and look after her until she gets better.”

“And we’ll help!” Lotus said after Octavia. Octavia only rolled her eyes.

“Are you sure about that ‘Tavi? I mean, this is something that…”

“Don’t worry about me Fifi, I’ll be fine. Now go on, have fun with Nurse RedHeart, or I guess at this point Ms. RedHeart Winters.”

“A-alright then… Um… Ms. RedHeart?”

“Please, just Heart, if you don’t mind.” She said smiling to him.

“A-alright then, Heart… Um… S-shall we?”

“I would be delighted, Fifi.”

The two of them were heading to the door when Aloe spoke to them. “Have fun you two!”

RedHeart giggled a little while Fiery blushed a little. He didn’t know why though since he had done this at least a dozen times… Then again, being forced to have sex was something altogether different. Fiery and RedHeart opened the door to the bedroom and went in, closing the door behind them.

“Well, I suppose me and Lotus should get going back to the spa, after all, we did promise Rarity that we would give her and her friends a free session for not attending to them yesterday after all.”

“Alright then Aloe, I’ll take Fluttershy here and bring her back to my house and look after her until she gets better. Hopefully my sister will be there and I’ll be able to ask her more about Fluttershy and such. Still amazes me that she was able to keep secret that she was a part of the Hippocrene family for so long.”

“I know what you mean. Mayor Mare, did you know about this?” Lotus asked the mayor.

“Of course dear, I need to know everything about my constituents after all. By the way, did Mr. Strings ever tell you girls about…”

“He said that Princess Celestia wanted to talk to all of us this weekend about something, he thinks it’s going to be about that… Though I still don’t know how you knew such a thing.”

“Well I got a letter from the Princess of course! Would explain a lot when he first came here anyways.”

“Wait, what? We’re meeting the princess!? And what’s this about Fiery?” Aloe asked in confusion.

“Nothing you need to worry about right now. From what I’ve heard, Princess Celestia will be telling you and your sister, as well as Nur- err, Heart, after the party tomorrow.”

“Oh! By the way, how DID you ever get us invited to that ‘Tavi?” Lotus asked.

“What do you mean? I didn’t do anything.”

“What do you mean you didn’t? Of course you did. We had received word from the guards that we were invited thanks to a certain Ms. Pie.”

“Are you sure it wasn’t my sister? She’s the party pony after all, and would make more sense since she apparently knows a lot more about what’s going on then what I even know.”

“Well then, I guess we’ll have to thank her then the next time we see her. Tell her to come by the spa sometime, I’m sure she’ll enjoy a free session, it’s the least we can do for her.”

Octavia smiled. “I’m sure she’ll enjoy that… Now, I need to get this yellow pegasus home before she wakes up somewhere unfamiliar.”

“I suppose you’re right.”

“Thank you Mayor for your help.”

“Oh, it was no problem Ms. Pie. Now, I think it’s time you three get going, I need some other appointments to attend to and-“

“Ah, say no more Mayor.” Octavia finished for her. The three of them walked out of the office and started to head back to their appropriate homes. Two hours later, Fiery and Nurse RedHeart would come out of the mayor’s room confused at why nopony was there before saying goodbye to each other and heading back to their appropriate homes as well.

But before they went their separate ways. “Thank you for that, um, Fifi.”

“It… It was no problem Heart. I enjoyed it as well…” Despite them just doing it, it felt sort of weird for them to be forced to do it right there and then. That’s when Fiery came up with an idea. “Um…”

“Hmm?”

“Do… Do you want to try to do this some other time? Not this whole thing I mean, but what I mean is getting to know each other better…”

Nurse RedHeart smiled at him. “That would be wonderful Fifi. I would really enjoy that…”

He returned the smile. “Great! Um, when’s the next time you got off?”

“Next Friday.”

“Great! I’ll try to ask around town about a good place to eat and such.”

She giggled a little bit. “That sounds wonderful. But first thing to know about me is that I love Cavallo, so the best place would be the ‘Olive’s Gardens.’”

‘Huh, must be this world’s equivalency to Italian if it’s called the Olive’s Gardens, and not Olive Garden…’ “Alright then, Cavallo it is.”

“See you next Friday then.” She smiled at him once more and started on her way home, but not before leaning into him for another kiss.

After the kiss was broken, he weakly said. “See you next Friday…” And watched her walk away. He then realized that he needed to be back home soon otherwise Octavia would get angry at him. He rushed in the direction of his house to see the other mares.

Back at the house, Octavia had just arrived with Fluttershy on her back and entered. As she got in, she noticed the cooking supplies laying up against the wall. ‘I wonder what that’s about? Is Pinkie even here?’ “Vinyl!” She called out.

“Hey ‘Tavi!” Octavia heard a response from upstairs. “Wasn’t expecting you to be home so soon.”

Suddenly, Octavia heard another voice from upstairs, this one being rather… Rude… “Say what again! Say! What! Again! I dare you, I double dare you mother fucker! Say what one more god damn time!” Octavia stayed silent at the sudden voice she didn’t recognize before it spoke again. “Does he look like a bitch?” Then she heard a bang.

Octavia first set Fluttershy down on the couch quickly then rushed up stairs into Fiery’s room where she had heard the bang to see Pinkie and Vinyl sitting on Fiery’s bed watching the TV. “Does he look! Like a bitch!”

“Oh hey ‘Tavi, sorry about not meeting you, we were just watching this movie that Pinkie found on Fiery’s thingamajig. Here, let me pause it. Pinkie?”

“Sure thing Vivi!” Pinkie said and started to click around on Fiery’s laptop and paused the movie.

“Wh… What in the world were you guys watching?”

“Didn’t I say? Pinkie found a movie on Fiery’s thingamajig and put it on for us to watch. I think the title of it said ‘Pulp Fiction’. It’s one of Fiery’s human movies.”

“A-are you insane Vinyl!? Pinkie, I can explain everything. I-“

“Oh don’t worry Octi, I knew all about Fifi being human from the get go!”

“… What?”

“You heard her ‘Tavi, we both knew.”

“Wait, you too Vinyl?”

“Of course, Princess Celestia told me about him the first day he came here. I didn’t believe it at first as well, but then when Fiery opened up to us after we found his stuff, I knew she was telling the truth.”

“So… So wait, you mean you were just playing on in one huge joke or something?”

“Sort of, it’s more of a master plan that Princess Celestia has, which is why she wants us all to meet her after the party tomorrow. Speaking of which, you have any idea what Fifi is going to be playing there?”

“N-no… I don’t…”

“We should probably ask him then tonight, don’t you think? Hey… By the way, where is he?”

“He’s… He’s back at the town hall finishing up some business…”

Vinyl and Pinkie had gotten large grins on their faces. “Oh? What type of business Octi?” Pinkie asked her sister.

“Um… Private business…”

“Private business with a mare?”

Octavia blushed up. “Y-yes…”

“Oh oh! Who is it? Is it somepony I know?”

“Yeah, tell us ‘Tavi.”

Octavia was barely able to get the name out. “It’s… Nurse RedHeart…”

“Well good for him.” Vinyl said calmly.

“Wha? What do you mean good for him?”

“That’s what I mean, good for him. At least that’s one more mare secure in Princess Celestia’s plan.”

“I guess… But I guess before I forget, I should tell you guys that if you’re going to watch such a… Movie… That you should turn it down, I don’t want the neighbors to get the wrong idea…”

“Okey Dokey Lokey!”

“Alright ‘Tavi, will do.”

“Good, now if you two will excuse me, I need to go tend to Fluttershy.” Octavia said before walking out the door, but was stopped by her sister.

“Wait, what’s wrong with Fluttershy Octi?”

“Hmm? Oh, she just fainted is all. She heard some things at town hall that were a bit too… Embarrassing for her… But before I forget, did either of you two know about Fluttershy’s last name?”

Vinyl and Pinkie looked at each other, then looked back at Octavia and shook their heads. “No, why ‘Tavi?”

“Because, she’s apparently the daughter of the Hippocrene family.”

“Wait… You mean THE Hippocrene family?” Octavia nodded. “The same Hippocrene family that has huge influence in all the big cities and in huge corporations?” She nodded again. “Nope, didn’t know at all.” Vinyl answered with a grin.

“Neither did I. Oh oh! Maybe I should throw a party for her now that we know!”

“I don’t think that’s such a good idea Pinkie, I mean, she kept it secret this long for a reason… I just wonder what that reason is…”

“Well, alright Octi, if you say so… By the way, what time is it?”

“Hmm? Oh, um, I think about 1:00, why?”

“Oh, just wondering when I needed to start cooking dinner for us is all.”

“Well, alright then. I guess I’ll let you guys get back to your movie, just please remember to turn it down some…”

“Will do ‘Tavi!” Vinyl answered once more with the same grin.

“Alright then, I’ll go then to attend to Fluttershy… Have fun you two!”

“Will do Octi!” And with that Octavia went downstairs to attend Fluttershy and watch over her while she was unconscious from her fainting.

For some odd reason it hadn’t bothered Octavia at all that one day soon, Fiery would have to ‘mate’ with Fluttershy. Perhaps it was because she knew that despite not knowing Fluttershy that much, she knew about her timid personality. Perhaps it was because of the fact that she knew Fluttershy would be in good hooves with Fiery, and that they would become one huge family… That or the fact that she knew that Fluttershy’s family could easily help them financially. She decided that it was the first one just so she didn’t seem greedy.

While she was thinking of all of this, Fluttershy had just awoken from her slumber. “Huh? Where am I?”

“Oh! Fluttershy! Um, sorry about this. You had fainted at the town hall, so I had to bring you back here, since we couldn’t exactly leave you there now could we?”

“Oh, um, thank you Octavia…” She said weakly, being embarrassed about fainting.

Octavia smiled at Fluttershy and talked to her softly. “Hey, don’t worry about it, what you heard would have made me faint too if I was in your hooves… Anyways, you don’t need to call me Octavia, we’re friends after all.”

“W-we are?”

“Of course Fluttershy! Why wouldn’t we be?”

“W-well… A-after all the trouble Twilight and the other girls have given you and Fiery…”

“Oh don’t worry about that Fluttershy, that wasn’t your fault! Besides, from what I hear they’re going to be learning about it soon anyways…”

“O-oh, right…”

“But enough of that, of course we’re friends! Just because we’re in love with the same stallion doesn’t mean we can’t be friends, right?”

Fluttershy looked up at Octavia and smiled. “Yes Octavia, you’re right. Um, please forgive me for thinking otherwise…”

“Hey, it’s no problem… And besides which, call me ‘Tavi, like Vinyl, Pinkie, and Fiery do.”

“A-are you sure? I-I mean… F-from what I heard, y-you only a-allow those closest to you-“

“Of course I’m sure Fluttershy.” Octavia said while smiling. “I wouldn’t be such a good friend if I didn’t allow it, right?”

“I-I-I g-guess not…”

Octavia continued to smile at the timid pegasus. “Don’t worry about Fluttershy, everything is going to be alright… Now come on, let’s wait for Fiery to get home.”

“W-where is he?”

“Oh, he’s back at the town hall with Nurse RedHeart, or I guess she likes being called Heart… Anyways, the two of them stayed back there to… Consummate for the harem…”

“Y-you m-mean h-h-having-“

“Sex, yes.”

“A-and y-you’re alright with this Oct- Oh, excuse me, I mean, ‘Tavi?”

Octavia sighed. “Well, I might not be happy about it, but I’m not mad or sad about it either. The law is the law. And besides which, what right do I have to deny somepony their love for somepony else because I want to be with a stallion and have him for myself? That’s just selfish.”

“I-I guess so…”

“Don’t worry about Fluttershy, you have nothing to worry about for me. I do appreciate it though.”

“O-oh! Um, n-no problem ‘T-Tavi…”

The two mares talked to each other for about another hour while waiting for Fiery to come home. They talked and talked about how much they loved him, and how much they were willing to do this for him. For that hour, Octavia and Fluttershy became closer friends then they could have ever imagined.
