Before this chapter starts, I’d like to say that in the middle of it, it’ll go from Joseph’s/Fiery’s Point of View to third person, and stay like that, also, WARNING!: Cheesy ass romance, but also hard sexual themes (no actual graphic sex, but references to it and such) ahead! So heads up.

Over the next couple of days, nothing really new happened in this household. Bethany was still acting like a bitch, Patrick kept begging me along with Britney about Equestria, Stephen wanted to get to know me more, and Debra sort of just stayed out of my way. Thankfully Saturday finally came and we were getting ready for the event that day.

Bethany bitched about how she didn’t want to go because there would be no one to hang out with there (God, why can’t she just shut up and appreciate that she’s doing something nice for Stephen?), so Debra’s had her hands full with that. Thankfully Patrick and Britney were too busy getting ready for the event that they didn’t really have any time to beg me more. Stephen was just being his politician self and was just focusing on getting everybody ready for it. I guess I should also mention that we were able to pick up my suit in the morning, so I had plenty of time to get ready as well.

As we walked outside to the limos we were going to take (Apparently three, one for Debra and Stephen, one for Beth, Britney, and Pat, and one to myself… Jesus, does he really want me to screw somebody tonight?! What the hell is that going to accomplish?! But I digress). I was the first one outside at the limos waiting for the others, with Patrick following behind me. As he reached the limos, he handed me a pair of sunglasses. “Sunglasses?” I asked him.

“Yeah, man, for us to look cool and all.” He answered. I wasn’t sure if he was being serious or joking.

“Pat, this isn’t some stupid movie based around a highschool prom or such crap, this is really important to my dad.” Yes, I really did call Stephen ‘dad’ again. After saying it on Wednesday, I started to feel more comfortable calling him that rather than his actual name.

“I know, I just wanted to see your reaction.” He said back to me. Alright, he was definitely joking with me.

I decided to play along with his joke and put on the glasses, then spoke. “‘It’s a 106 miles to Chicago. We’ve got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, its dark, and we’re wearing sunglasses.’”

Patrick began to laugh at my comment. “Wow, really? You’re gonna quote that movie?”

“Hey man, you’re not a real Chicagonite if you haven’t watched that movie and at least quoted it once.” I answered him, chuckling.

He continued to laugh, but was able to speak. “Alright, alright, I see how it is.” He told me as he put his sunglasses on as well. “They’re not going to catch us; we’re on a mission from God.” We began to laugh our asses off, when we heard another voice behind us.

“Four fried chickens and a coke.” Stephen quoted as he came up behind us, patting my back as he got right next to me. “How are you doing boys?”

“Hey dad, we’re doing well.” I answered him back. “Hey dad, I got a question for you.” I continued.

“Yeah? What is it Joseph?”

“Is there really a need for three limos? I mean, I appreciate the privacy and all, but…”

“Does it really disturb you that much?” Stephen asked me.

I shook my head. “It’s not the limo that disturbs me; it’s the fact that you expect me to bring someone home tonight. Don’t get me wrong, it would be nice and all, it’s just creepy to have my dad WANTING me to bring someone home.” I answered him.

He smiled at me and spoke. “Well, if it makes you feel better, how about having Patrick ride with you on the way there. Then, if you do have someone you want to bring home, Pat can ride back with the girls in the second limo. Does that sound alright Pat?”

“I guess, but what if I get hooked up with someone at the event?” Patrick asked my dad.

“Oh come on now Pat, everyone knows you don’t have the skills to pick a woman up.” Stephen joked with him.

“Hey…”

Stephen laughed a bit at his own joke. “Sorry Pat, that was mean of me. Alright, if you get a date also, I’ll have the girls ride with me and Debra.” That’s when a bitchy voice came from behind us.

“And what happens if there’s someone for me there dad?” Bethany asked Stephen, with Britney and Debra coming up behind her.

“That I’m making sure will never happen.” Stephen answered her. Wow, go Stephen.

“But dad~!” She cried out, trying to get him to feel bad. It didn’t work.

“No buts young lady. These boys are old enough to actually take care of themselves. You, on the other hand, are younger than they are by seven years, and are not ready for a relationship yet. Now come on, it’s time to go.” He issued a hand motion telling the girls to get inside the limos, Bethany and Britney getting into their limo, and finally me and Pat going into the very back one.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As you can imagine, the drive there was somewhat fun with Patrick, as we opened one of the bottles of champagne that was in the limo, probably meant for later tonight, and drank the entire bottle before arriving at the fancy hotel the event was being held at. I guess it was some type of conference for the politicians and their families or something like that, I don’t know, I was only paying sort of attention to it.

For the first fifteen minutes, Stephen was basically introducing us all to any congressman or senator who came up to him. Didn’t really recognize any of them, because as I said, wasn’t really paying attention to the entire event. After those fifteen minutes, I went to the table where all the food was and got some when Patrick came up next to me. “Hotties at 9 o’clock, coming right to us.” Patrick whispered to me as he stood next to me.

I glanced to my left to see, as he said, three ‘hotties’ heading our way. The only problem was that I instantly recognized the ‘hotties’. “Oh geez, what the fuck.” I said out loud as I tried to approach them, but was stopped by Patrick holding my arm. “What are you doing Pat?”

“Don’t blow our chance Jojo! Let them come over to us.” He whispered to me.

Before I got a chance to talk back, the ‘hotties’ came up to us and the one in the middle spoke to us. 6’ 1”, white dress, suns at her hips, blonde hair. “How are you boys?” She asked casually.

Before Patrick had a chance to answer with some dumb pickup line, I put my hand over his mouth and quickly answered. “What are you doing here Celestia?”

“Mulsya?” Patrick tried to get out ‘Celestia’ but couldn’t because I still had my hand over his mouth.

“Well well Fiery, didn’t think you’d recognize us right away.” Celestia commented to me. “Whatever gave us away?”

“It’s sort of easy when your dresses are the same color of your coats and your Cutie Marks are stitched to your hips, even if you don’t have your crown on.” I answered her.

It was then that Patrick finally realized what I was talking about and let out a muffled fan-girl squeal, finally being able to see Celestia in the flesh. I sighed and rolled my eyes as ‘Tavi spoke up. “Um, F-Fiery?”

I looked at ‘Tavi, then back to Celestia. “You two tell him the situation while I go talk with her.” I basically commanded Celestia and my mom as I grabbed ‘Tavi and ran off with her to a more private location. I could only guess the questions Patrick was going to have for the two of them… The poor, poor, girls.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Stephen had recognized Joseph across the hall, dragging away a girl with him, causing him to smile. Debra ended up walking up next to her husband and saw him smiling. “What are you so happy about?” She asked him in a casual tone.

He turned to her to answer. “Hmm? Oh, just watching Joseph already finding a date here.” He answered while chuckling a bit.

Debra only sighed. “I sort of wish you didn’t give him that chance.”

“Why not? It’s not like it’ll do any harm.”

“What will your colleagues say about it? What will the media say if he does something horrible with that girl?”

“Oh Debra-“ Stephen started. “He’s not that type of person. He would never do anything to embarrass me. Now let him have his fun.” He smiled at her while ending his sentence. She only sighed at him, then went back to talk to some of the other wives. Stephen looked back in the direction that Joseph was heading in and continued to smile. “Make me proud son.” He whispered softly as he thought out loud.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As Joseph finally dragged Octavia somewhere far enough away to talk in private, he turned to her and spoke. “I’m sorry about that ‘Tavi, but-“ He was cut off as she raised her hand to his lips to stop him.

“It’s alright Fiery, I’m just glad that you were able to recognize me.” She said as she smiled at him.

Joseph brought her in for a hug as he spoke again. “I’m sorry babe, I just haven’t seen you for the past two weeks, and you were all I could think about.”

She smiled at the comment as she wrapped her arms around him as well. “I’m glad you thought that way Fiery, because it was the same for me…”

The two stayed there in silence, hugging each other for a while, until Joseph finally spoke up once more. “How are you?” He asked.

“What do you mean?”

“I mean… Have there been any signs?”

She understood what he meant and answered. “I guess the only sign would be me being late, but nothing else really… But just in case, I also went to the doctor before coming here, but I was short on time, so I had to leave before he was able to give me the results.”

“I see…” They continued to be silent, when suddenly Joseph let a little space between them so he could look down at Octavia. “You really are beautiful.” He commented as he smiled at her.

She smiled back. “I’m glad you think so, otherwise I might’ve gotten angry.” She said back to him as she giggled a little at her own joke. She was, however, caught off guard as Joseph had suddenly planted a kiss onto her lips. Octavia allowed Joseph to continue kissing her as she wrapped her arms from around his waist to the back of his neck, as she hung onto him and enjoyed the kiss.

Joseph had started to use his tongue as he began to dance the dance of passion in her mouth as his partners tongue was doing the same. After several minutes of the passionate kissing, Joseph broke it off, leaning his head backwards as his tongue had a strand of saliva on it, the source of it hanging from Octavia’s tongue. “I really did miss you.” He finally commented after letting her breathe some.

She could only giggle. “I can see that.” She planted the kiss on his lips this time as she quickly gave him a peck then let go. “Let’s go back, otherwise they might think that we’re doing something dirty.” She said to Joseph as she began to walk away from him back to the hall that the event was in.

Joseph could only watch his love walk away, slowly going down her back, finally ending at her bottom. ‘Man, ‘Tavi really is sexy when she’s a human… Maybe I can convince Celestia to-‘

‘No.’ A new voice entered Joseph’s mind.

‘What the hell? Celestia? That shit works here too?’ Joseph thought back to his ‘Aunt’.

‘Of course, how else do you think you were able to convince Patrick and your human father that Equestria exists with your little fire trick?’

‘Alright, alright… But damnit! She’s so hot! At least for one day in Equestria!’

‘The answer is no, and that’s final.’

Joseph could only huff and pout at the conclusion. ‘Fine…’ He finally thought as he made his way back to the event, as Octavia was waiting for him to catch up.

“What was that about?” She asked Joseph as she waited by the door.

“Oh, just admiring you from afar, that’s all.” He lied casually, putting a smile on his face.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As Joseph and Octavia finally got back to where the other three were, they heard a conversation going on. “So is it really true that Luna speaks really loud and in old English?”

Octavia turned to Joseph looking for an answer, but was stopped as he saw her face. “Don’t ask. It’s something really strange and something that even I don’t understand. Let’s just say that the humans in this world know about Equestria but think it’s fictional and drop it at that.”

Before she could ask Joseph about what he meant, Celestia had heard them and greeted them back. “Welcome back you two, so glad you could join us again.” She said to the two with a large smile.

“Thanks, what are you guys up to?” Joseph asked, like he even needed to.

“Oh nothing really, Patrick here has just been asking about us and such.” Celestia answered. She was clearly irritated at being asked about Equestria from Patrick.

“Is that right? Well then, Pat, I’d like you to meet someone.” Joseph pulled Octavia next to him and put his arm out to Patrick. “Pat, Octavia. Octavia, Pat.” Patrick was about to let out another squeal when Joseph interrupted him. “Squeal and I punch you in the gut.”

“Okay…” Patrick replied in a disappointed tone. Octavia only giggled.

“It’s very nice to meet you Patrick.” Octavia said to him in the nicest way possible.

“And it’s very nice to meet you as well.” Patrick replied in a polite manner.

Before Patrick could ask anymore, Joseph had spoken up and asked Celestia about the show. “So how does this world know about Equestria exactly?”

“Oh not you too.” Celestia sighed.

“Well sorry for being extremely curious.”

“I suppose since you’re here, I could explain it…” Celestia started. “It all has to do with the creator of the show.”

“Lauren Faust?” Patrick asked.

“Yes.” Celestia answered.

Patrick was about to let out another fan-girl squeal when he saw Joseph’s face, obviously saying that he would get hit for doing so. He calmed down and asked Celestia. “She’s a pony?”

“Not exactly… Her husband is…” Celestia answered once more. “You see, it all has to deal with five years ago in Equestria…”

“Five years?” Joseph asked.

“Yeah, Celly screwed the spell up to send him here and accidentaly sent him back to 1971 as a human infant. Then again, I wonder if she purposefully screwed it up because of what he did in Equestria…” Starry explained.

“What did he do?” Joseph asked his mother.

“Oh, when he found out that the mare he was cheating on in Ponyville found him out; he wanted to get away as fast as possible. That’s when he came to Celly to ask her to send him to another world where he could use his artistic abilities for good. I guess his punishment was having to relive life.”

“You said Ponyville five years ago?” Octavia asked the two, curious if she knew the stallion or not. “What was his name?”

Celestia thought about it for a minute before answering. “I think it was… Ink Blots? Colored Blots?-“

“Pastel Blots?” Octavia asked.

“Oh! That was it!”

Joseph looked at Octavia wondering how she knew, when he saw her becoming red in the face. Not from embarrassment, no, this time was from anger. He quickly wrapped his arms around her, trying to calm her down, even though he didn’t understand why she was getting upset. “’Tavi, calm down, I’m right here. You don’t need to get angry.” He tried telling her.

Octavia began to settle down as Joseph wrapped his arms around her, telling her to calm down. She sighed and spoke once more. “I’m sorry, it’s just… I have a bad history with that stallion…”

Joseph was able to put two and two together to understand what she meant, but Patrick didn’t understand. He was about to open his mouth to ask what she meant when he saw that Joseph was giving him a glare for opening his mouth. He quickly shut it before even saying a single word. Joseph was able to speak up once more. “So I’m guessing that this guy basically told his wife about the pony world or something like that?”

“I suppose so.” Celestia answered. “I guess the rest is just him remembering life and such.”

“Either that or Celly screwed the spell up again and he’s able to look back into Equestria whenever he wants, but can’t do anything about it.” Celestia gave Starry a glare for speaking. “What? It’s possible.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For the rest of the event, Patrick kept pestering Celestia about Equestria while Starry could stand there holding back her laughter at Celestia’s ‘torturer’. Meanwhile, Octavia and Joseph had gone off to be alone and talk about their future.

“So, are we really ready for this kid?”

“Do we really need to go over this again Fiery?” Octavia asked Joseph in an irritated tone.

“I’m sorry! I just don’t feel like I’m ready…”

Before Octavia could say anything back, the two were interrupted by Joseph’s human father, Stephen. “Hey you two.” He called out to the two.

Joseph looked up from the ground to address his father. “Hey dad.” Joseph simply said.

“Aren’t you going to introduce me to your lovely lady Joseph?” Stephen asked.

“Oh, um, Octavia, meet my dad, Stephen. Dad, meet Octavia.” Joseph introduced the two.

“Hello.” Octavia said with a nod, trying to be polite.

“Ah, hello. Octavia huh? Is this that-“ Stephen began to speak, but was stopped by Joseph.

“Yeah.”

“The p-“ Stephen tried getting out but was stopped by Joseph again.

“Yeah.”

“How did-“

“Princess Celestia.” Joseph answered his father once again before he could finish.

“Ah…” Stephen acknowledged it even though he didn’t fully understand it, but decided to forget about it right now and sit down to his son. “So what were two talking about?” He asked with curiosity.

The two stayed silent, but Octavia finally spoke. “We were talking about our future together.”

“Marriage? Wow Joseph, didn’t know you had it in you.” Stephen joked.

“It’s not like that dad.” Joseph answered. “It’s… I don’t know whether I’m really ready for a kid or not…”

“I see…” Stephen spoke. They all became silent until Stephen broke the silence once more. “You know Joseph… When your mother was pregnant with you, I also didn’t think we were ready… We had both just passed the ABA, we didn’t have a lot of money thanks to our wedding and finding a house, not to mention all the bills for school and such… But you know what son?”

“What dad?” Joseph asked, feeling he knew where this was going.

“I may have screwed up four years later, but when you were born, I felt like I could become the greatest dad out there. When I saw you and your mother in that delivery room, my entire life changed. All the doubts I had about being a good parent melted away in that instant. I did everything possible to take care of you and your mother, even if meant working an extra 20 to 40 hours a week.”

“But you still screwed up and left me and mom when I was only four.” Joseph answered back.

Stephen let a light chuckle and answered his son once again. “True, but didn’t I do everything I could to make us one big happy family when I was there with you?”

“I don’t know, I was just a baby. My entire mind was the size of a peanut.” Joseph joked.

Stephen chuckled a bit more before answering his son once more. “That’s also true, but it didn’t mean I didn’t love you son… I missed you every single day that I was away from you and your mother, and after all these years, I regret ever leaving you and your mother alone…”

“Thanks dad, but that still doesn’t answer my question of whether or not I’ll be a good dad.”

Stephen could only laugh at his son for being so thick-headed, as Octavia joined him in the laughter. “Son, I think you’ll be a great father. The best damn father the entire world has ever seen…” He got up from his seat and began to walk away from the two, but stopped to look back at them. “Don’t worry son, I think you’ll do just fine… And Ms. Octavia?”

Octavia looked at Stephen with attention and answered. “Um, yes?”

“If my son ever does anything boneheaded like I did, come right to me, and I’ll make sure to straighten him out.” Stephen joked as he winked at Octavia and began to walk back to his wife.

As Stephen walked away from the two, Octavia could only look at Joseph with a smile on her face. Joseph looked back at her and smiled as well. “I suppose only time will tell, huh?” He asked her.

“I guess so.” Octavia simply answered. The two stayed in silence for the rest of the event, Octavia leaning on Joseph’s shoulder, as they enjoyed their time together.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Before the event ended, Joseph had brought Octavia with him outside to get in the limo so he could bring her home before anybody else got home. As he was bringing her outside, Stephen had seen the two going and only put a smile on his face as he watched the two go.

As they reached the limo, Octavia spoke. “Fiery, what are we doing?”

“I just wanted to get home before the others did and wanted to spend some alone time with you, that’s all.” He said as he tried to get Octavia inside the limo. Before he also got in, the limo driver got his attention. “Yes?”

“Sir, I’m sorry to interrupt you, but Mr. Noble told me that if you were to bring a guest along with you, that I would be directed to take you and your guest to the Park Hyatt hotel, where there is a suite on the top floor waiting for you.”

“Oh, uh…-“

“He also told me that the key for the suite will be waiting for you at the front desk inside the hotel. I will be arriving in the morning at the hotel at 11:00 sharp, as to give you and your guest plenty of time to be ready when I arrive. Also, you don’t need to worry about paying for anything, as Mr. Noble has already paid for anything and everything that might be covered in the final bill.”

“T-Thanks… Um…”

“Jeeves, sir.”

“Right… Thanks Jeeves, I appreciate the warning.”

“No problem sir.” Jeeves answered with a smile, and Joseph finally got into the limo where Octavia was waiting for him.

As Joseph entered the limo, Octavia looked at him confused, but also somewhat scared. “F-Fiery, what’s going on?”

‘Shit, that’s right, she’s never been in a car before huh?’

‘That’s right, Equestria doesn’t have cars like this world does.’ Celestia answered him inside his head.

‘Jesus… Warn me if you’re about to suddenly pop inside my head like that. Nearly gave me a heart attack…’

‘Where would the fun be if I did warn you?’ Celestia joked.

‘Fine, whatever… Actually, while you’re here, do you know what Stephen looks like?’

‘Yes, why?’

‘Can you tell him about what me and ‘Tavi are doing so he doesn’t worry and all?’

Joseph could just see the smile on Celestia’s face, even through his mind. ‘Sure… Oh! I almost forgot. Tomorrow, when you and Octavia get back to your house, we will be there waiting for you two. Starry and I will explain the situation to your human ‘father’ before we take you, Octavia, and Patrick back to Equestria.’

‘Wait, you mean you still haven’t told them at all?’

‘Of course not, don’t be silly.’

Joseph only mentally sighed. ‘Alright, I guess we’ll be ready then…’

“Fiery?” Octavia’s voice came. “You’re spacing out again.”

“Hmm? Oh, sorry about that ‘Tavi.” He apologized as he got up right next to her. “I was just looking at how beautiful you were.”

“You used that line already.” She said in an irritated voice. “Now what’s going on?”

“Sorry ‘Tavi, I guess you’ve never been inside a human vehicle before, huh? This is called a limo, where we’ll be taken to a fancy hotel, where we’ll have a suite waiting for us at the very top and where we’ll be able to spend the night together, all alone, just the two of us. Me, you, and a couple bottles of champagne.” He answered with a sly smile on his face.

“I hope we’re bringing your friend Mr. Condom along as well.” Octavia asked him.

Joseph snickered a bit before he began to slowly kiss the side of her neck. “Whatever you want baby.” He answered as he put his hand on the other side of her neck as he slowly began to nibble on her neck.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Celestia was still at the event, watching over Starry who had gotten bored and decided to drink some human liquor, getting extremely drunk in the process and passing out. She had taken this opportunity to go introduce herself to Stephen and talk to him about Joseph. As she walked to the man, she saw that he was his family, and wasn’t sure how to approach him.

Just then, the congressman turned around and saw Celestia standing there. He brought his wife along to speak with Celestia. “Hello there.” He introduced himself. “I had seen you earlier talking to my son and his friend. Are you able to tell me where my son currently is?” He asked politely.

“Oh, um, Mr. Henderson had left with my friend who I brought along to this event. I can only imagine what they’re doing.” She said jokingly.

“I see. Well, thank you for your assistance.” Stephen told Celestia and began to walk away, but Celestia had grabbed hold of his shoulder before he got too far away. “Yes? Is there something I can help you with?”

“Yes, there is Mr. Noble. Do you mind if I speak to you in private for a minute? It won’t take long, I promise.” Celestia put on a smile, trying to convince him. Debra was about to speak out in protest, but was stopped as Celestia quickly summoned a spell with her hand to make Debra leave.

“Dear, I think I’ll wait by the limo while you speak with her for a moment.” Debra was commanded to say as she smiled at her husband and began to walk away.

“Well, she took that much better than I expected. Usually she really hates it when women ask me to talk in private.” He said as he watched his wife leave, then turned back to Celestia. “So what can I do for you Ms…”

“Please, just call me Celestia.”

“Celestia… Right…”

“I assume that Fi-, err, Joseph, told you about me as well as my friends?” Celestia asked him.

“You mean about the whole pony thing?” Stephen asked.

“Yes, that’s correct.”

“Somewhat. He told me about him being dragged there by you I guess. He won’t tell me why or what happened there, but I respect him enough that I won’t push it.”

“I see…” Celestia said as she bit her lower lip, not knowing what to tell Stephen.

“Is there something the matter Ms. Celestia?”

“Oh, well, you see… Do you mind if I, along with my friend over there-“ She pointed to Starry who was laying down on a bench, passed out. “Come by your house tomorrow to pick up our other friend who we came with? As I’m sure Joseph will be going back to your house after tonight, and there’s also something that I think you and your family needs to hear about that involves both Joseph and Patrick.” She said as plainly as possible, just trying to get it out.

“What happened with Joseph and Patrick? Is there something wrong? Are they in debt somehow or owe somebody something?”

“Oh, no, nothing like that… sort of…”

“What is that suppose to mean?” Stephen asked in frustration this time.

“I’m sorry Mr. Noble, but I think it would best if your entire family was there to hear about it, rather than just you. I also need Patrick to hear about it since he doesn’t know the details just yet. The only human in this world that knows about the problem is Joseph, and well…”

“He’s preoccupied at the moment, gotcha.” Stephen finished for her. “I guess my only other question is what time should we be expecting you two?”

“Shortly after Joseph gets back home with our friend.” She answered with a smile. “Now if you excuse me Mr. Noble, I must take care of my other friend and make sure she survives the night. Not really used to liquor and all that.” She said as she began to walk away and go over to where Starry was lying.

“Not used to liquor, right…” Stephen repeated as he began to walk outside of the building and to the limo that his wife was standing next to.

“So what was the problem?” Debra asked him as he got closer.

“It’s nothing dear, you don’t need to worry about it.” He answered quickly, obviously not wanting to talk about it.

“Well that only makes me more curious.” Debra answered truthfully.

“I’m sorry dear, I just don’t want to talk about it right now, alright? I’ll tell you when we get home.”

Debra began to nod her head, understanding the situation. “Alright dear, that’s fine.” She answered softly as she entered the limo before he husband.

As Stephen was getting in, he had remembered about his deal with Patrick. He talked to the limo driver right before getting in. “Do you know if Patrick got somebody or not tonight?”

The limo driver responded. “No sir, I don’t believe so.”

“So the girls will be riding back with him?”

“Yes sir.” The limo driver answered in a neutral way.

“Alright, thank you Frank.”

“It’s my pleasure sir.” The limo driver responded as he closed the limo door after Stephen had gotten in.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As the limo that Joseph and Octavia were riding in approached the hotel, Jeeves had stepped out and went to open the back door, but before he did, he knocked on it, alerting the people inside. He heard some shuffling inside before he heard a knock back. He opened the door and greeted the two people inside. “We’re here.” Jeeves announced.

“Alright, thank you Jeeves.” Joseph answered as he exited the vehicle, but waited at the door of the limo for Octavia to come out as well, who was still inside wiping her mouth with a napkin from the napkin stack that was on top of the mini-fridge inside the limo. “Coming ‘Tavi?”

“Yes, I’m coming.” She answered with a cheery voice as she exited the vehicle.

Before the two began to walk to the entrance of the hotel, Jeeves had stopped Joseph once more. “The room name is under Joseph Noble. Watertower suite” Joseph nodded as he understood, and then began to walk away with Octavia to the inside of the hotel.

They had arrived at the front desk where they got the keycard as well as the code for the suite and began to go up the elevator that went to their room. As they got to their room, and entered it, they were amazed at how large it was. “Fiery! This is amazing!” Octavia told Joseph as she began to run to the windows that had a view of Lake Michigan in the background. “Wow! Is that the ocean?” Octavia asked with curiosity. Joseph could only chuckle. “What?”

“Nothing, it’s just that you’re acting like a little kid. That’s all.”

Octavia rolled her eyes. “Well excuse me for being impressed.” She pouted as she continued to look outside.

Joseph came up from behind and hugged her, wrapping his arms around her stomach. “I’m sorry babe, it’s just cute, that’s all. But to answer your question, no, that’s not the ocean. It’s called Lake Michigan, and it’s only one of five great lakes of North America.”

“Is that right…” She asked as Joseph began to kiss her neck one more.

He took a break from it to answer her once more. “That’s right, but I believe that back in the limo, there was a small river flowing from a certain somepony. How about we take these clothes off, hmm?” He asked in the most seductive voice he could manage as he began slowly take the shoulder straps of Octavia’s dress off.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Joseph and Octavia had woken up the next morning, their clothes from last night strewn about the bedroom of the suite, some of them even in the living room area. Octavia had woken up next to Joseph, and the thoughts of last night came back to her, putting a smile on her face.

Seconds later, Joseph had also woken up, opening his eyes as he began to look around the room, slowly remembering of last nights events as well as he looked to see Octavia in her human form lying next to him. “Morning babe.” He said in a tired but happy tone.

“Morning Fifi.” She said to him softly, still smiling. “I really enjoyed spending time with you last night.”

Joseph put a smile on his face and began to cuddle up next to her, the sheets of the bed covering everything but their heads. “I’m glad you did.” He replied to her in a soft tone as well. He then looked behind Octavia to see the digital alarm clock sitting on the end table, to reveal that it was only 7:42. “7:42, huh? That gives us about another three hours until Jeeves comes and picks us up to go back to the house.”

“What should we do until then?” Octavia asked Joseph.

Joseph began to look around the room, and then thought of an idea. “Well, we did it all last night on the bed and once on the couch out in the living room-“ He turned his face back at Octavia with a devilish smile. “Where else could we do it?”

Octavia only sighed. “Is that all you can think of? Is sex?”

“Well when’s the next time I’ll see you as a human being? Hmm?” He asked her.

Octavia could only giggle. “It’s not like we’re never going to be coming back to Earth, but I suppose I can see your point…” She then began to scan the room to see anywhere else they could do it. “Well, we still have the bathroom…”

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door of the suite. “Room Service.”

Octavia and Joseph looked at each other and shrugged. “Did you order anything?” Joseph asked her. She shook her head no. Joseph took in a deep breath and got out of the bed, getting a robe from the closet and began to wrap it around him as he spoke to Octavia. “Stay here, I’ll be right back. If you hear anything that might be wrong, close the bedroom door immediately and lock it.”

“What then?” She asked him.

He sighed once more. “Do you know how to use the phone?” She shook her head no again. “Damnit… Alright, just… just try to find some type of weapon if he tries breaking in, alright?” She nodded her head this time, understanding. “Alright, good.”

Joseph began to walk to the front door of the suite, and peeked through the peephole, to see that there was a hotel employee standing there with a tray full of food. He kept the door locked with one of the chains and slowly opened the door. “Yes?”

“Room Service sir.” The employee responded with a cheery mood.

“We didn’t order any room service.”

“Complimentary sir, all suites get a free breakfast.”

“You have to understand that seems extremely odd.”

“You wouldn’t be the first sir.” The employee responded to Joseph’s criticism with a smile.

Joseph let out another sigh and unlocked the door, allowing the employee to bring the tray completely in. He lifted one of the tops of the dishes to see some bacon and French toast sitting there, perfectly cooked. He looked back at the employee who was still smiling. “You’ll have to forgive me for being skeptical.”

“First time here sir?” Joseph nodded. “Don’t worry, I understand. If it still makes you feel uncomfortable, you can call the front desk to make sure.”

“Thanks, I’ll do that.”

“Have an enjoyable breakfast sir. When you and your friend are done with the food, you can just leave the tray outside, where somebody will come and retrieve it in about an hour.”

“Alright, thanks for notifying me.” He said as he let the employee leave. As the employee left, Joseph immediately searched the lower half of the tray, just in case, to find no one there. He then went back into the bedroom and began to call Patrick.

“Find anything?” Octavia asked him as he got back into the bedroom.

“No, but it still seems really weird. I’m going to call Patrick to get my dad and ask him about this.” After some ringing, he finally heard Patrick’s voice on the other end.

“He*yawn*llo?” Patrick answered, clearly tired from the night before.

“Pat, is dad there?”

“Hey Jojo, what do you mean? Inside the house or inside my room?” Patrick joked.

“This is serious Pat, is dad there at all?”

“Yeah, yeah, let me check real quick…” Patrick answered as he let out another yawn right after, then began to search the house for Stephen. Luckily, he ran into him almost immediately as Joseph could hear over the phone. “Mr. Noble, Jojo wants you.” He said as he handed the phone to Stephen.

“Hello? Joseph?”

“Oh great, hey dad, I have a quick question for you.”

“Sure son, what is it?” Stephen asked on the other end of the phone.

“You’ve been to this hotel and have slept in one of the suites, right?”

“Yes.”

“Is it natural for you to receive a free breakfast the morning after?”

“Ah, being skeptical of the breakfast are ya?”

“So it’s natural?” Joseph asked his father.

“Yeah, it is Joseph. You have nothing to worry about. I can understand how you’re feeling though, I went through the same thing on my first morning there, but I’m still here, aren’t I?”

“Yeah, I guess. Thanks dad, that’s all I needed to know.”

“No problem son. Oh! Before you get going, that Celestia woman wanted to speak to the family later today, sometime after you come home. Do you have any idea what it would be about?”

Joseph had to lie for now, he didn’t know exactly how to break the news to his human ‘father’ that he was really born a unicorn. “No idea dad.”

“Alright Joseph, just thought I’d ask. See you later today son.”

“See you later dad. Bye.” Joseph hung up the phone and looked over to Octavia. “I guess the food is okay to eat.”

“Well I guess that’s a relief.” She replied. “Should we eat breakfast now?”

“Well, the employee said that they’d be back in an hour to get it…”

“So what are you thinking?” She asked him.

He stayed silent for a few minutes before finally answering. “Well, we can eat breakfast, then go bathe together, if you catch my drift.” He said as he smiled devilishly at her.

She smiled back and replied. “Sounds like a plan.”

As they brought the food to the dining room table and took the lids off of the plates, Octavia had seen the bacon on the plates. “Fiery, what is that?” She asked as she pointed to it.

Joseph turned to look at what she was talking about to see her pointing at the bacon. “Oh, it’s uh... bacon...”

“Like the hay bacon back in Equestria?”

“More like bacon made out of pig...” He answered softly.

“Excuse me?”

“Its made out of pig! I’m sorry alright? I told you humans eat meat... If you don’t want to eat it, I’ll take it, alright?” She looked at him with an eyebrow raised. “Alright, I’ll set it aside. There’s no other meat apparently other than that. Does that make you happy? I’m sorry humans are omnivores...”

Octavia let out a sigh before answering him. “I suppose that’s the best we can do. Also, you don’t need to be sorry about anything, it’s not your fault. There’s nothing you can change about it, they were only doing their jobs when they cooked that meat.”

Joseph looked at Octavia and smiled. “Yeah, and I’m sorry for snapping like that, you didn’t deserve it.”

Octavia responded to his smile with a smile of her own. “Apology accepted. Now come on, let’s eat.” She said as she sat down on one of the chairs and starting eating the other food that was there, with Joseph starting to eat his own food right beside her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

11:00 had finally rolled around, and Joseph and Octavia were waiting outside, wearing the same clothes they had from last night, when they had finally seen a limo pull up in front of the hotel and Jeeves step out of the limo. “So sorry I’m late, hit a few red lights on the way here and all.”

“Not at all Jeeves, you’re right on time.” Joseph answered with a smile. Before Jeeves could do his job, Joseph had opened the back door of the limousine and spoke to Octavia. “Madam.” He said with a smile as he opened the door for her.

“Well you’re too kind.” She answered him as she got in, while Joseph only watched her get in before getting in himself, then closing the door behind him, as Jeeves got back into the driver’s seat and began to drive off after the other two had gotten inside safely.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

About an hour later, Joseph and Octavia had reached Stephen’s mansion and had walked inside, where they saw Celestia and Starry sitting in the living room with Patrick, Stephen, and Debra. “Hey everybody…” Joseph trailed off as he saw everyone sitting there. “What’s everyone up to?”

“Oh good, the final two people who are needed have finally come.” Starry said out loud. “Now we can get started.”

“I see…” Joseph trailed off once more.

“What is this exactly all about Ms. Celestia?” Stephen spoke up.

“Well Mr. Noble, if you must know, this is actually about both Joseph and Patrick.” Celestia answered him.

“Did they do something?” Debra asked.

“It’s not a matter of them doing something, at least not Patrick, it’s a matter of them not doing it yet.” Starry answered.

“We don’t understand.” Stephen spoke up, somewhat irritated at the situation for them keep using code to talk about it.

“You see Mr. Noble, both Joseph and Patrick are extremely vital to the survival of ponykind.” Celestia addressed them.

“Ponykind? What are you talking about?” Debra interrupted.

“Did you not tell her last night Mr. Noble?” Celestia asked Stephen. He shook his head no, which caused Celestia to sigh. “I see… How to put this…”

“We’re what you would call aliens Mrs. Noble.” Starry spoke up. “At least in the human sense.”

“This is some sort of joke, right?” Debra spoke up, but everybody kept quiet, including Stephen and Patrick. “Stephen? Right?” She asked him as she became worried.

“It’s as they said Debra, they don’t exactly live on this planet.” Stephen told his wife.

“Oh give me a break Stephen, you really expect me to believe that?”

“Fiery?” Starry spoke up. The humans became confused as to why she would say such a word, but then Joseph answered her call.

“Um, y-yes?”

“Would you like to tell them or would you like to show her?” Starry questioned him.

“I-I don’t understand…”

“Do you wish to tell them of your past, or do you wish to show them your talent?” Starry asked again.

Joseph took a deep sigh. “It if matters to you… I’d rather not do either…”

“I see…” Starry said with disappointment. “Very well… Celly?” She looked at her friend who was also sitting next to her.

“Very well.” Celestia said as she got up and began to cast a spell, turning the entire room dark. The humans began to freak out, not knowing what was going on, when suddenly there was a flash in the middle of the room and Celestia’s voice came from the light. “What you are looking at right now is our home planet of Terra.” She spoke out, having the humans look at the ball of light where images of Equestria were present. “Right now, our race, the ponies if you will, are under a horrible curse. We do not know where it comes from, or why it is even here, but what we do know is that it’s killing our race off slowly.”

“That’s terrible!” Patrick called out, leaning against the couch he was standing behind, but had seen Debra and Stephen turn around and look at him funny. “Oh, uh, sorry.” He said as he leaned back off the couch.

“It is terrible Patrick, which is why we need you and Fiery.”

“But that still doesn’t explain why you need them! What purpose do they serve?!” Stephen said in a frustrated tone, clearly getting irritated.

“Mr. Noble, I’d like you to understand that the reason why Fiery and Patrick are special is because they serve a very special purpose. They have the resources, if you will, to save our race.”

“And what resource is that?!” Stephen yelled out at them.

Starry sighed, but answered. “Their sperm.”

Stephen fell back onto the couch, utterly confused. “What?”

“It’s their sperm Mr. Noble. You might not know this, but both Patrick and Fiery have had their sperm enchanted since before they were even born, or at least Patrick in a sense had. Fiery was enchanted nearly a thousand years ago, but that’s a different story.”

“Fiery, Fiery, who or what the fuck is Fiery?!” Stephen demanded of Starry, but Joseph was the one who spoke up.

“Um, I am dad… I’m Fiery…”

“W-What in the world are you talking about Joseph?” Stephen asked in disbelief.

“I’m Fiery dad, I’m the one they’re talking about…”

“Waaaaaaitwaitwaitwait-“ Patrick interrupted everyone. “Your pony name is Fiery?”

“Yeah, and?”

“Well, what made you come up with such a lame name.” Patrick began to chuckle as Starry cleared her throat.

“The one who gave him that name Mr. Patrick, was me.” Starry in the calmest voice she could find. “And I gave it to him a thousand years ago when I gave birth to him.”

“What the fuck are you smoking?” Stephen was the one who interrupted this time. “My first wife gave birth to Joseph over 21 years ago, I was there when she did it!” All Starry answered with was looking at Celestia and calling her name, which caused Celestia to show them the day that Joseph was willing to give up his memories so that Terra would be safe for another thousand years and that he would be brought back then. “What is this? What are we watching?”

“The red one is me dad… This was a thousand years ago…”

“Wha?” Was all Stephen could say before he saw the red unicorn turn into a human baby, with a birthmark in the shape of a raging fire on his chest. “That birthmark… That was there the first year you were born before it disappeared a year afterwards…”

“That was source of Fiery’s memories of our world, but we did not want him to remember about it until it was time to.” Starry answered.

“Then-“

“Starry is my mother, dad… I’m sorry…” Joseph said softly. “I was planted in the human world a thousand years later so I wouldn’t grow up once more to be a huge douche in my old world…”

“You knew this entire time… Didn’t you?” Stephen spoke up softly. Joseph only nodded. The entire room was silent for multiple minutes when Stephen spoke up once more. “Get out…”

“Not until we get what we came for.” Celestia answered.

Stephen jumped off the couch and yelled at the princess. “I said get the fuck out of my house!” He yelled at he pointed a finger in the direction of the front door.

“Like I said Mr. Noble, we won’t until we get what we came for.” Celestia stated once more in a calm voice, but Stephen didn’t cooperate. He jumped at her, trying to attack her, but was frozen in mid-jump as Celestia used her magic to freeze him. “I’m sorry you feel this way Mr. Noble, but this is the way it has to be.” Celestia then turned to Patrick and spoke to him. “Patrick, I think it’s in all of our best interests if you came with us right now.”

“I’m sorry, but I can’t do that.” Patrick simply replied.

“Pat, this isn’t a fucking game, come with us right now.” Joseph commanded his best friend.

“Do I sound like I think this is a game Joseph?! I mean, what the fuck are we even talking about anymore?!” Patrick yelled out, completely confused.

“For the love of- Pat! Get over here now!” Joseph commanded his friend once more.

“And I said no!” Patrick yelled out once more.

“PATRICK!” Everyone turned to the source of the new voice to see it was Debra. “Please, just go with them… I know you’re confused, but I think it’ll be best for everyone if you just go… I don’t know why, but I feel right when I say that they’ll look after you…”

“Are you fucking insane?! What proof do th-“ Patrick was trying to get out but was cutoff when he was suddenly hit by a stun spell shot by Starry.

“Sorry, I just couldn’t take his whining anymore.” She apologized. She then turned to Joseph. “Fiery, say your goodbyes to Mr. Noble, and then we’ll leave.” She announced as she began to walk out the front door with Celestia telekinetically dragging Patrick along outside with Octavia following the two.

Stephen was softly put back down on the floor as Joseph walked over to him. “Dad, look, I’m really sorry.” Joseph tried apologizing.

“Is it really true son?” Stephen asked. Joseph only nodded, then the two of them stayed silent for a while when Joseph spoke up again.

“Dad… I know you might not think of me as your son anymore since learning all this and such as well as learning it all now, but… but I want you to know that even though I’ve only gotten to know you for the past two weeks that… that you’ll always be my dad…” Joseph said softly, then turned to leave, but was stopped as he felt a tug on his arm. He looked back to see Stephen grabbing his arm, preventing him from leaving.

“I don’t want you to go son.” Stephen replied to Joseph.

“I have to dad… I’m sorry…”

“Then Joseph?” Stephen spoke up once more, causing Joseph to look at him again. “Is it okay if I give you one last hug?” He asked, as tears began to fall down his face.

Joseph smiled and brought his human ‘father’ in tight. “Sure dad, but don’t think this is goodbye forever.”

“I know it isn’t son, I know it isn’t…” Stephen replied as Joseph began to walk away, out the front door.

As Joseph was heading towards Celestia and the others, he heard someone call out his name from behind him. “Jojo!” A young female voice called. Joseph turned around to see Britney running up to him, and before he could ask what she was doing, she had wrapped her arms around his waist, trying her best to hug him. “Don’t go Jojo.”

Joseph sighed and put his hands on her shoulder, pushing her away from him. He got down on one knee and began to explain the best way he could to her about why he had to go. “Britney, I’m sorry, but I have to go. Equestria needs me. I wish I could tell you why, but it’s something that you’ll learn about when you’re older.” He then brought her in for another hug as he said goodbye to her.

“You’re not going away forever, are you big brother?” She asked, her voice muffled as she wiped her face into Joseph’s shoulder, trying to get rid of the tears that she was crying out.

“No, of course not honey.” She said to her softly, his hand taking up most of the upper part of her back as he started to rub it, trying to assure her. “I’ll be back one day. I promise, okay?”

“Pinkie Pie swear?”

‘Help me out here Celestia, I have no-’

‘Cross your heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in your eye.’

Joseph smiled as he replied. “Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye sweetie. Now, I have to get going Britney, but I’ll be back.” He told her as he let go of her and began to walk away from the teary eyed girl towards the group that he was supposed to be with.

With a sudden flash, the five of them vanished from the driveway, and back where they belonged.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As they reach back to the castle, Fiery opened his eyes to reveal himself to be back in his pony form. “So much for goodbyes huh…?” He spoke to himself softly, but Starry ended up hearing him.

“You know that you’ll be able to see him once more son, I know the connection you feel with that man since you’ve spent time with him, and I’m sorry that he had to find out about this the hard way…”

“Yeah, me too…”

Starry looked at Fiery with a saddened smile but was able to speak. “Come on, let’s go wake your friend up, shall we?” Joseph nodded and the two went over to the new addition to Equestria, as they saw a light blue unicorn with a deeper blue mane and tail, with two icicles making an X as his Cutie Mark.

“The saviors of this world… are fire and ice…” Fiery said in disbelief.

“Well what’d you know, who could’ve seen that coming?” Starry said as she stood right next to Fiery. Fiery looked at her with an annoyed look. “Alright, alright, so I might’ve known… But why does it really matter?”

“Just… odd, don’t you think?” Fiery asked her.

“I suppose so, but right now we have bigger problems, like a certain mare who’s feeling all alone right now.” Starry commented as she pointed Fiery in the direction of Octavia.

“Alright, alright, I got your clue.” Fiery said in an annoyed voice as he walked over to Octavia, leaving Patrick to Starry. As he reached her, he spoke up once more. “How are you doing babe?”

“Shouldn’t I be the one asking you that?” She asked back.

“I’m doing fine.” He answered quickly.

“Really? You don’t sound fine.”

Fiery sighed. Octavia was right, he wasn’t fine. “I just feel so bad, about lying to Stephen this entire time about not really being his son…”

Octavia looked at him sadly, then got up right next to him and began to nuzzle his neck. “I know Fifi, but it isn’t your fault. This would’ve happened one way or another, and it’s much better that it happened now, where he can at least sort out his feelings before he got too attached to you, right?”

Fiery sighed once more as he nuzzled Octavia back. “I know babe, I know…”

Alright, so sorry to stop it right there, as well as that sort of rushed ending of the chapter, but it was getting late and I couldn’t really think of a way to end the chapter, so I just wrote what came to mind. For anybody interested, I’m still looking for someone to draw a cover for the story on FimFiction, so please message me by sending me a private message on either my FimFic or Fanfic accounts, both called Poodicus (as you can probably guess). I also need someone to help me with the sex parts, as in help me make them better, as I feel I’m only doing a mediocre job at it at best so far, and would appreciate some help. Again, PM me if you’re interested. That is all.
