“W-What happened?” Patrick asked as he woke up from the spell that had knocked him out just a few minutes ago.

“Hey Patrick, good to see you’re awake.” Fiery said as he walked over to his friend.

“J-Joseph?” Patrick called out, clearly shaken at the fact that his friend had turned into a pony, not even looking at himself. “I-Is that really you?”

A large grin landed itself onto Fiery’s face as he responded to his friend. “Help! Help me Patrick! I’ve been turned into a pony and I don’t know how!”

Patrick began to scream and then pass out from the sudden shock as Starry addressed her son. “That wasn’t very nice of you Fiery.”

“Hey, I’m allowed to have a little fun every once in a while.” Fiery responded with the grin still plastered on his face, when Octavia suddenly jabbed him in the side. “Ow, what was that for?”

“It’s as your mother said, that wasn’t very nice of you Fiery.”

“Oh, so what, singing and playing ‘Big Balls’ to Twilight Sparkle is okay but playing a prank on my friend isn’t?”

“I still haven’t forgiven you for that Mr. Embers.” A new voice emerged from behind Fiery and Octavia. The two of them turned to see that Twilight was walking up to them.

“Well well, look who it is. Why are you here?” Fiery asked, annoyed.

“If you really must know, Princess Celestia asked me to be here.” Twilight answered, equally annoyed.

“That’s right; I did ask her to be here.” Princess Celestia spoke up. “I asked her to come here for a favor.”

“Anything for you, your highness.” Twilight said proudly as she bowed down to the princess.

“Suck up.” Fiery had said under his breath, getting a glare from Octavia.

“Anyways, the reason I asked for you to come here Twilight is because we have summoned another like Fiery.” Before Twilight could open her mouth to groan, Celestia continued. “Human-wise, not personality-wise.” She said, assuring Twilight.

Twilight sighed in relief. “Well, that’s good to hear.”

“Hey!”

“I wish for you to train him as a unicorn, and call me when he wakes up, as we’ll need to explain to him why he’s here and such.” Celestia explained.

“Very well Princess, I’ll do that.” Twilight answered with a smile then walked over to Patrick. “I assume this is the human?”

“Indeed.”

“Very well Princess, I’ll teleport the two of us back to the library and I’ll have Spike send a letter when he’s awake.”

“Very good Twilight.” Celestia told her pupil with a smile. “Just be careful, as there are some things I still haven’t told you about the human world, so if he jumps on you…”

“I don’t think Pat is into bestiality or is a furry.” Fiery interrupted the princess, as everypony looked at him funny for speaking out. “What? I’m just saying he’s not going to rape Twilight, so you don’t have to worry about it. Although he may squeal like a little filly and glomp you.”

“Thanks… I really needed to hear that…” Twilight answered him in a sarcastic tone. “Even though I have no idea what bestiality or glomping is, and we’re covered in hair coats, not fur, so I have no idea what this has anything to do with something as horrible as rape.”

“Actually Twilight, what bestiality means is-“ Celestia started, but stopped, unsure on how to continue with the subject. “I’ll… tell you about later, alright?” She finally finished with a smile.

“Very well Princess, I hope to send you a letter soon.” Twilight answered back with a similar smile and put her hoof down on Patrick, then, with a flash of light, the two were gone as she teleported the two back to the Ponyville library.

“Well, shouldn’t you two be heading back to your house as well?” Celestia asked with a smile to the unicorn stallion and earth pony mare.

“I suppose so, but how are we going to get back? Flying?” Fiery snickered at his own joke.

“Magic of course.” Celestia answered him.

“Oh… Right…” Fiery suddenly stopped snickering as Celestia had answered him. “Well, I guess I’ll see you two later then?” He asked the princess and his mother.

“I’m sure you will son.” Starry replied with a smile.

“Before I forget, I need you to return to Canterlot tomorrow Fiery.” The princess addressed him.

“What for Aunt Celestia?”

“Since your ‘disappearance’, if you will, Mr. Pants has been asking about you-“

“The agent deal! Crap! I totally forgot about that!” Fiery cried out.

Celestia only giggled. “It’s alright Fiery, there’s no need to worry. I’ll have a chariot pick you up in the morning which will take you directly to Mr. Pants mansion where you’ll meet him, as I’ll tell him ahead of time of your arrival. Now, off you two go.” Celestia said with a smile as her horn began to glow, just like Twilight’s, and a few seconds later, the two ponies that were there just a moment ago were now gone. Celestia turned to Starry to see a frown on her friend’s face. “What’s wrong Starry?”

Starry looked up as Celestia spoke to her. “Hmm? Oh, sorry Celly. It’s nothing…”

“Nothing my flank, now tell me what’s wrong.” Celestia told her friend.

“It’s… I just feel like something bad is going to happen to those two, but I don’t know what…”

Celestia also began to worry as she had put a frown on her own face when she heard this. “I hope you’re wrong for once Starry…”

“So do I Celly… So do I…”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

With a sudden flash, the two ponies were inside their own home, startling their roommate who happened to be near the flash. “Whoa! What happened?!” She cried out as she jumped behind the couch, afraid of what the flash was.

“Ah, feels so good to be back.” Fiery cried out as he stretched his legs out, getting used to his old pony form after two weeks of not being in it.

“Fifi? Is that you?” Vinyl jumped out from behind the couch, then put a large grin on her face as she saw the two ponies standing there. “Fifi!” She called out as she jumped at him, tackling him in the process.

Fiery began to laugh as he got a large hug from the white mare. “Hey Vinyl, it’s good to see you as well.”

“I missed you so much Fifi!”

“Hey now, no need to get sentimental, I was only gone for two weeks.” Fiery said as he laughed.

Vinyl turned to see Octavia right above her and then got up and suddenly hugged her friend. “’Tavi!”

“I was gone less time than him Vinyl!” Octavia said as she giggled at her friend’s silliness.

“That’s not what I’m hugging you for.” Vinyl answered.

“Then what are you hugging me for?”

“I heard from the doctor today, some ponies in this household are going to become parents!” Vinyl announced with excitement. A large smile found itself on Octavia’s face as she began to jump and celebrate, while Fiery stood there with a smile on his face as well.

“Fiery! Isn’t this fantastic news?!” Octavia asked her lover.

Fiery had the smile still on his face when he answered. “It’s the best thing in the entire world ‘Tavi. I’m so happy.” He told her. “I hope this child brings us large amounts of happiness.”

“Then you mean-?” Octavia began to ask, but was stopped as Fiery nodded his head. She screamed in joy as she wrapped her hooves around his neck and began to squeeze him tight to her chest, standing on her back legs as she hugged him. “Oh Fiery! You make me the happiest mare in Equestria right now!”

“Anything for you baby… Or I guess its babies now, huh?” He asked as he placed a hoof on her stomach, he then put his face right next to her stomach and began to speak. “I know you might not hear this little guy, but you’re possibly the best thing to happen to my life.”

“He’s not the only thing that makes you happy I hope.” Octavia joked with him.

Fiery raised his head back to Octavia’s face and smiled. “No, he’s not, as there’s a mare right now who I’m looking at that, somepony that I love more than the entire world.”

Octavia began to blush as replied to her lover. “Fiery, I know exactly how you feel.” She said with a smile as she began to kiss him on the lips, all while Vinyl was standing next to them, with a large grin still plastered on her face.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Patrick began to wake up, unsure of where he was. He slowly opened his eyes as he looked around the room. He slowly started to take in his surroundings as he recognized the place he was in as Twilight Sparkle’s library from the cartoon series he used to watch. ‘No, it really can’t be true, can it?’ He began to get up from the couch he was lying in when he saw a familiar purple dragon walk into the room.

The dragon turned his head and shouted out of the door he had just come out of. “Twilight! He’s awake!” Then began to walk back into the room he had just come out of, going back to his work before he was ordered to go check up on Patrick.

‘Oh, you have got to be fucking kidding me…’

Seconds later, he saw the purple unicorn enter the room with a smile on her face. “Hello Patrick, I’m-“

“Twilight Sparkle.” He finished for her.

“Yes… How did you know?” Twilight asked him.

“Uh…” He didn’t know how to answer that question, as he couldn’t really up and say that she was a fictional cartoon character back where he came from. “Princess Celestia told me about you and the other Elements.” He suddenly came up with. ‘Best thing I can do for now, I guess.’

“Oh, I suppose that makes sense.” Twilight responded. “Anyways, you must have a lot of questions right now, mostly about why you’re here, correct?” Patrick nodded. “Well, the best I could put it, Princess Celestia needs you for your… um…” Twilight began to blush, clearly embarrassed about anything that involved sex, simply because she was shy when it came to such topics.

“Semen?” He asked her.

“Yes.” She answered back as she blushed. “But the reason why she sent you here to live with me and Spike is so I can help teach you how to be a unicorn.”

“A what now?”

“A unicorn. You know, like me.” Twilight answered him with a smile.

Patrick began to lift what he thought was his hand up to his head, until he stopped to see a light blue hoof there instead. “What the-“ Patrick started to hyperventilate, scared of what was happening. “W-Why the fuck am I a pony?!” He screamed out. “I know I loved the show, but this is too much!”

“Patrick! Calm down!” Twilight yelled at him, getting his attention. “And I would appreciate it if you didn’t curse. It’s looked down upon to say such things in Equestria.” She told him in a serious tone.

“Oh, well I’m soooooo fucking sorry for cursing after I fucking find out that I’m a pony!” He yelled back in a sarcastic tone. Just then, Twilight’s horn glowed brightly. A zipper appeared and attached itself onto Patrick’s mouth and shut it for him.

“I’m sorry for doing that Patrick, but you must understand that it-“ She was about to finish when she was hit by Patrick as he hurdled at her in an attempt to attack her for what she did. She quickly teleported to the other side of the room, leaving Patrick to crash nose-first into the wall. She quickly turned around to see him doing just that. “Patrick! Stop moving around and listen to me!” She tried commanding him, only to find him turn back around to her. She expected another attack from him and readied her horn for it, but it never came. Instead, Patrick had begun to break down and cry right there on the floor, his sobs muffled by his closed mouth as Twilight sighed at the sight. She undid the spell she had cast on him and spoke once more to him. “Look Patrick, I didn’t want to start out on the wrong hoof and-“

“I just want to go home. I don’t belong here at all!” Patrick whined through his tears.

‘I can’t believe I’m actually thinking this, but what I wouldn’t give to have that jerk Fiery here right now…’ “Look Patrick, I know it must be scary for you to be in a new world and all, but I promise you, it isn’t all that bad.” Twilight said to him, smiling as she did as she tried to cheer him up.

“Oh sure, that’s easy for you to say. You’re not the one stuck in some freaky cartoon universe!”

“Wait, what?” Twilight asked, interested in what he said.

“You’re not supposed to be real at all, you’re nothing but a cartoon on Earth.” He answered through his sobs, wiping his tears away.

Just then, a flash of light appeared in the middle of the room before Twilight could ask anymore. As the flash faded and Twilight was able to see once more, she saw Princess Luna standing there. “Princess Luna? Where’s Princess Celestia?”

Luna ended up sighing before answering the unicorn. “My sister had an emergency meeting with some spoiled nobles about how they think that the nobles deserve another tax cut in the name of ‘creating jobs’” Luna answered, motioning with her hooves as a human would with their fingers at the end. “Anyways, long story short, my sister told me everything I needed to know and then sent me here to Ponyville. That and I also have some personal business to attend to at the town hall.”

“I see…”

“Anyways, where is the human my sister spoke of?” Twilight pointed behind Luna, who turned around to see the shivering light blue unicorn, completely afraid of the Princess. “There is nothing to fear young one, I will not harm you.”

Patrick slowly began to stop shivering and looked at Luna in the face. “H-How do I know that? What if you’re really going to experiment on me or something like that?!”

Luna sighed once more. “I really don’t see either the medical or the scientific benefit of experimenting on a unicorn… Now if you don’t mind, I’d like to tell you why you’re here so I can get this over with.”

“F-Fine, so why am I here? Is it really-“

“We need you to have sex with mares.” Luna told him in an annoyed tone.

“I-I see...”

“We need you to have sex with mares, get them pregnant, yadda yadda yadda. Alright, I’m done.” Luna turned to Twilight and spoke to the purple unicorn once more. “Tia told me to tell you that for now on he’ll be staying with you so you can keep a close eye on him and teach him in magic. Now if you excuse me, I need to go to town hall and speak with the mayor.” And with that, Luna vanished once more as she used her teleportation spell to leave their home.

Patrick sighed as Luna left the house and spoke to Twilight. “Alright, fine. I guess I should be asking what we’re suppose to do first?”

“Well you could start off by telling me what you meant by a ‘freaky cartoon universe’.”

“Well, I guess I sort of walked into that one, didn’t I?” He asked as he sighed. He then began to tell her everything about the show and the story he had heard from Celestia from the party and how they were a huge hit with people known as ‘Bronies’, even ending it with stories of fanfiction and art. “I guess that pretty much sums up everything I can think of about it.”

Twilight was taking notes the entire time and as he finished, looked up at him to speak. “Well that’s definitely quite the story Patrick. To think, that we’re drawn and have stories told `about us for a young audience to tell them about life lessons…”

“You’re uh, taking this pretty well I see.” Patrick said with a smile.

“Of course, why wouldn’t I?”

“Well, it’s just in some of the fanfics I read, this situation plays out and either you don’t believe the human, or you tend to freak out over the fact that people are watching you.”

“Well it’s not like they’re watching us in our most private moments, right? Not to mention you told me that people believe it to be all fiction on your planet, so it’s not like a horde of humans are going to invade us one day, suddenly hugging us out of nowhere, right?”

“I-I guess not…”

“So Patrick, I suppose fanfiction is a term for…”

“Oh, it means it’s a story that’s made up by someone that is based off a popular TV show, book, movie, whatever.”

“I see, and what type of fanfiction and pictures did you read and see about us?” Twilight asked in curiosity.

“Well, It was… interesting…” He answered truthfully. He wasn’t really sure how to tell her about the whole ‘Rule 34’ aspect of stuff he had seen when he was browsing for other things.

“Like what?”

“Well, dark, comedy, romance, adventure, um…”

“Are you able to give me any details? What about the romance?” Twilight asked him again in curiosity, but before Patrick could answer, Spike can come into the room again to speak to Twilight.

“You got a guest Twilight.”

“Really? Who is it Spike?”

“It’s that Fiery guy you don’t like, he’s asking to see the new guy.”

Twilight sighed. “Alright, tell him to come here. I want him in and out as fast as possible so I can continue this conversation with Patrick.”

‘Wait, Fiery? Isn’t that the name that Joseph said he went by as a pony? Oh thank the heavens you came in time Jojo!’ Patrick thought to himself as a crimson red unicorn had come into the room shortly after Spike had left the room, presumably to get Fiery. ‘Is that him?’

“Hey Pat, good to see you’re awake.” The unicorn spoke to Patrick. “Sorry about mom knocking you out at Stephen’s house, and me playing that prank on you…”

“J-Jojo? Is that really you?” Patrick asked the unicorn.

“Yep, sure is Pat.”

“You asshole! I nearly had a heart-attack when I first saw you!” Patrick yelled at his friend.

“Hey, I apologized, didn’t I?” Patrick only grumbled at the apology.

“So what do we owe the privilege of having you come here Mr. Embers?” Twilight asked Fiery in a sarcastic tone.

“Actually, Twilight, I came here for two things. One of them was to see how my buddy was doing and to ask him something.”

“Fine, as you can see, he’s doing fine. Now what’s the second?” Twilight quickly answered him in an annoyed tone, clearly not happy about Fiery being in her home.

“Well, I guess I can tell you since, if you have it. I need you to get it.” Twilight only grumbled at him. “Do you have any books on parenting and what to expect through pregnancy?”

Twilight suddenly gave him a confused look. “Wait, I can understand the whole parenting thing since you’re getting those kids in about a month, but what do you need with the pregnancy book?”

“To learn what to expect during pregnancy?” Fiery asked her back.

“Well, yes, I know that.” Twilight answered him with another annoyed tone. “But why? Nopony is…” Fiery suddenly had a large grin on his face. “Wait…”

“What is it Ms. Knowitall? Did you finally figure something extremely simple out?”

Twilight sighed in annoyance as she answered him. “So who’s the lucky mare?”

“Oh, would you look at that? Alright, if you really must know, it’s ‘Tavi.”

“Forgive me for speaking up Jojo-“ Patrick interrupted the two. “But aren’t you afraid of, well…”

Fiery sighed and answered his friend. “You know Pat, I was also thinking that it might’ve turned out that way, maybe on purpose, maybe on accident. But you know what? I’ve decided that I’m not going to become like him, that I’m going to be there for my kid.” He finally ended with a smile.

“I guess that’s good to hear Jojo, but what did you need to ask me?”

Twilight had begun to go get the books when Fiery had answered his friend. “You’re better at law than me, right?”

“Yeah…”

“You think you could come with me tomorrow to Canterlot? I’m meeting someone important and he wants me to sign a contract. I want you there to help me in case I miss anything and for anything that might be in-between the lines and such.”

“I suppose I can. It would help me to get used to this world and all…”

“Great! I’ll come pick you up at nine then.”

Twilight had just entered back into the room with five separate books when she asked Fiery. “What’s this about nine?”

“I’m coming back tomorrow morning to get Pat so we go to Canterlot. I need him to help me out some.”

Twilight sighed. “Well, even though I’m technically his guardian, I’m not his mother. If Patrick agrees, and as much as I hate you… If you can promise he comes back in one piece and doesn’t get into any trouble, I’ll allow it.”

“Geez, thanks ‘mom’.” Patrick joked as he rolled his eyes.

“Or I can completely deny you any rights and lock you inside the guest room until I see what seems the right time to let you out.” Twilight snapped back at him. “Anyways, here’s your five books on pregnancy and parenting, now get out.” Twilight told Fiery as she handed him the books and pushed him out of the room to the front door.

“Ow, ow! No need to poke me with that damn thing!”

“Well get out then!” Twilight answered him, then threw him and the books out of the library. She then went back into the room Patrick was in and spoke to him once more. “So where were we?”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was about ten after nine when Fiery walked up to the library door and knocked on it. Almost instantly the door opened to reveal a very happy looking Patrick. “What’s got you in such a good mood?” Fiery asked his friend.

“Oh, nothing.” Patrick lied.

“Alright, so why are you smiling so damn hard?”

Patrick couldn’t hold his excitement anymore. “Alright, alright, I’ll tell you, but you gotta promise me that you won’t tell anybody.”

“Anypony.” Fiery corrected him.

“Yeah, whatever. Anyways, you promise?”

“Sure, so what’s up?”

Patrick got closer to Fiery and whispered into his ear. “I got to see Twilight’s womanhood!” He said in an excited tone.

“What? On accident or on purpose?” Fiery asked his friend.

“On accident of course. Man! I never knew this world would be so awesome!”

“I thought you weren’t a furry?” Fiery asked his friend again.

“Neither did I, but my guess is that since I’m a pony, my preferences changed and all.” Patrick responded.

“Alright, so I guess I gotta ask you, when and where?”

“Oh, this morning and in the shower.” Patrick answered with a smile.

“I guess that would explain the giant hoofmark on your face…” The two heard trumpets playing a little ways away. “Well, I guess that’s our ride, come on.” Fiery said to his friend as the two began to walk back to Fiery’s house where the chariot would most likely be.

When the two did get to the house and got on the chariot, Fiery spoke up once more. “So I guess I gotta ask ya, you figure out a name for yourself yet?”

“Twilight and I thought it’d be good if I went by Frostbite from now on. Patrick would get too much attention.”

“That’d make sense I suppose. So how are you adjusting to pony life so far?”

“Its fine I guess. Still weirded out at the whole ‘us being the saviors of Equestria’ and such and by saving it we mean we have to have sex with mares… Speaking of which, I’m surprised you’ve already knocked one up. I just thought you were saying complete BS back two weeks ago.”

“Well, I’m not.”

“How did she take the news?” Patrick asked.

“Excited actually. I’m not as enthusiastic about it as she is, but I guess the talk from dad really put my head on straight about becoming a parent. I really wasn’t ready for it, but after reading one of the books Twilight gave me yesterday, I think I’ll be alright. Not to mention the kids that are coming soon.”

“Yeah, Twilight was talking about that last night before she went to bed. What’s this about you adopting some kids from Canterlot?”

Fiery sighed. “These two kids, a five year old and a two year old, were abandoned by their parents one day without any real reason other than ‘we don’t think we’re good parents’. I had come across the older one when I was going to eat lunch with somepony else and I thought that my mom could take care of them. She said no and said they were my responsibility. I then made a deal with Celestia about having her and my mom take care of the two for a couple of months until we were ready for them to move in with me, ‘Tavi, and Vinyl.”

“Wait, you mean DJ Pon-3? That Vinyl?” Patrick asked.

“Yeah, how’d you know?”

“Bronies.”

“Ah… Still, kinda strange that the so called ‘Brony community’ from the sounds of it, have hit the mark 100% of the time when it came to coming up with names for the unnamed ponies in the show.”

“Same here, kinda freaky if you ask me… Or it could be ponies who got into the fandom and knew who the ponies were already.”

“True, that’s a possibility.” Fiery answered.

The two stayed silent for a while until Patrick had spoken up. “So how is ‘Tavi doing since she’s learned she’s pregnant?”

“She’s doing fine. Like I said, she’s excited about it… But something was weird this morning.”

“What’s that?” Patrick asked.

“Well, last night we wanted to sleep together, you know, just be together in bed rather than being in our own rooms. We didn’t do anything because of how tired we were from the whole going back and forth between worlds, but that wasn’t the matter. The matter was this morning she said she wasn’t experiencing any of the symptoms that were suppose to come. I told her it was no big deal but she didn’t listen to me. Just to make sure though, she went ahead to the hospital today to have it checked out.” Fiery answered his friend.

“I see…” Patrick replied, then the two stayed quiet for the rest of the ride, as they entered the city of Canterlot literally minutes later.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For the most part of the meeting with Mr. Fancy Pants, Fiery and ‘Frostbite’ had no trouble reaching to a deal with him on what to expect. Fiery was told his first concert would be in three weeks as of that day in Manehatten and that they would be expected to get 50% of the bits that would come from the concert. 30% to the agent, and the other 20% for other things like the stagehoofs, the lights, pyrotechnics, etc. Fiery of course was sort of surprised that it was three weeks away, but Fancy Pants had told him that he had sold tickets ahead of time before even getting Fiery to sign away. Fiery didn’t exactly understand but had let it go.

The two were about to leave, when Fancy Pants called out for Fiery. “Oh Mr. Embers, do you mind if I speak to you in private for one second?” Fiery turned back to Fancy Pants and answered.

“Sure, just one moment. Frostbite? Do you know where to go from here?” Fiery addressed his friend.

“Sure buddy, I’ll wait for you by the chariot.” Patrick answered as he began to walk down the hall to the stairs on the other end as the doors behind him shut closed.

“Alright Mr. Pants, so what can I do for you?”

“Please Fiery, just Fancy.”

“Oh, um, alright Fancy. Something I can help you with?”

“Yes, I’d like to ask you, are you still taking in mares for your harem?”

This question took Fiery by surprise, but he was able to answer. “Err, I suppose so… W-Why do you ask?”

“Well, one of the reasons I had your first concert in Manehatten is because, if you’re not aware, my daughter, Fleur-De-Lis is currently going to graduate school there.”

“I-I see…” Fiery answered as he looked at a picture of Fancy Pant’s desk that Fancy had turned around, seeing a tall model-like mare with pink mane and tail, as well as three Fleur-De-Lis’s as a Cutie Mark. ‘Must be the daughter he’s talking about.’

“As you can guess, she was quite taken by both your looks and skill when you played for her party.”

‘Oh boy, here we go.’

“She’s been asking a lot about you. In fact, she’s the one who gave me the idea of becoming the agent of both you and your roommates.”

“I see… Um, I’m just going to be taking a wild guess here but… are you asking me to, uh… mate, with your daughter?” ‘Please say no, please say no.’

“Ah, so I see you have quite the mind as well! Marvelous! Yes, Fiery, I am indeed asking that.”

‘Fuck!’ “Um, I-I-I… I, um, would b-be d-delighted to…” Fiery answered with a smile. ‘Fuck! Forgive me ‘Tavi! Forgive me Luna! I tried!’

‘Tried what?’ Luna’s voice entered Fiery’s mind.

‘Fuck! I totally forgot you could read my mind!’

‘So glad you’ve come back to the land of ponies darling. Oh! Before I forget, I signed myself up in your harem, as a General. I hope you don’t mind.’

‘N-No, that’s totally fine…’

“Mr. Embers?” Fancy Pants called out to Fiery.

“O-Oh, sorry about that, I was just uh… surprised. Yeah, surprised, that such a beautiful mare like Fleur would be interested in little ole’ me.” Fiery answered with another smile. “Now, if you will excuse me, I need to get back home as soon as possible.” Fiery turned and began to walk out of the room as Fancy Pants called out to him.

“Very well Fiery, I suppose I’ll see you in two weeks then when I come to pick you up in Ponyville.”

“Uh, yeah, right.” Fiery called back to Fancy Pants. “Now if you really do excuse me-“

“Yes, yes, of course son.” Fancy Pants called back.

“Alright, thank you for the offer, and thank you for the deal. Goodbye Mr. Pants.” Fiery called out to his new agent as he opened the doors of the office and began to walk out.

“Yes, yes, goodbye Mr. Embers.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fiery was walking back to the chariot when a new voice, Celestia, entered his mind. ‘Fleur-De-Lis eh? Quite the sexy mare I’d say myself.’

‘What’s this about that mare?’ Luna questioned inside Fiery’s head.

‘You mean you weren’t paying attention Lulu? Why, Mr. Pants and Fleur want Fiery to cons-‘

‘Heyheyheyhey! No talking in my mind without my permission!’ Fiery thought to the two.

‘Alright then Fiery, if you aren’t going to tell her, and you won’t let me say it here, I might as well go visit her in the palace, right?’ Celestia thought back.

‘Fuck. Alright, whatever. Luna, Fleur wants me to fuck her, end of story.’

There was a silence for a while before Luna spoke up again. ‘And?’

‘And what?’

‘What’s so bad about that?’ Luna answered him.

Fiery stayed silent for a while before answering the two. ‘Damn you ponies and your harem logic.’

‘You were born a pony as well you know.’ Celestia replied to him.

‘Yes, but I was born in a time when monogamy was the law, not harems. Besides, I’ve only been back in Equestria with the harem law for a little over a week. Remember that. Now if you don’t mind, I’d like to end this conversation as I’m getting back into the chariot with Patrick.’

‘Very well darling. Have fun!’ Luna thought back to him.

‘Bye Fifi!’ Celestia teased him.

“What’s the matter with you man? You’re spacing out.” Patrick told Fiery as he entered the chariot.

“It’s nothing man, don’t worry about it.”

“Alright then, I’ll drop it.” Patrick answered back, mostly because he really didn’t care, as the two began riding back to Ponyville.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As Fiery returned home, he had seen Octavia walking back from the hospital. “Hey babe, how did it go?” She looked up at him and smiled.

“They said that nothing was wrong. I suppose I am just overreacting.”

“See? Told you.”

Octavia rolled her eyes. “Alright, alright, so you were right all along. But Fiery?”

“Yeah ‘Tavi?”

“They told me if it doesn’t start in the next two weeks, to come back, with you.”

“Why me?” Fiery asked. Octavia shrugged her shoulders. “Alright… I suppose I can…” He answered, then Octavia walked up to him and kissed him on the lips.

After breaking the kiss off, she spoke to him. “Thanks Fifi…” She said with a smile, then immediately asked him about the meeting. “So how did the meeting with Mr. Pants go?”

“It went well. First gig is supposed to be in three weeks… Wait…”

“What’s the matter?”

“Did they ever return my guitar?” Fiery asked with concern. Octavia smiled at him and answered.

“Yes, they did, and they didn’t do anything to it, I promise. It’s in my room at the moment because I didn’t want to lose track of it.”

“Lose track of it huh? Are you sure it isn’t because you just missed me?” He said as smiled back and started to nuzzle her nose with his own.

She continued to smile as she nuzzled him back. “Maybe, maybe not, who knows?” She said in a teasing manner.

“Well, maybe I should find out huh?” He asked in a seductive tone as he began to nuzzle her neck a bit.

“F-Fiery, not outside… It’s embarrassing.”

Before Fiery could respond though, Vinyl popped out of the doorway of their home and welcomed the two back. “Heya lovebirds! Enjoying the weather?” She asked with her usual grin.

“Hey Vinyl? What’s up?” Fiery asked back.

“Nothing much, just saw you two playing together so I thought I might as well save you the trouble of embarrassing yourselves outside.” She announced to the two. This caused both Octavia and Fiery to blush.

“You mind not saying such things out loud Vinyl?” Fiery asked.

“Okay Fifi.” She then turned in the direction of Canterlot and saw a large black cloud above it. “Huh, I guess you’re glad that you came back home before that huge storm, huh Fifi?”

Fiery turned to look what she was talking about and saw the cloud. “Wow, I guess I am.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Meanwhile, back in Canterlot Castle, Starry had just finished seeing a vision of the future as Celestia walked in. The room became dark as the weather outside was becoming worse of a storm that was scheduled for that day. “It seems the Canterlot weather team got the storm right on time.” Celestia announced as she got right next to Starry to see her friend disheartened. “What’s the matter Starry?”

Starry had stayed silent for a few seconds when the rain had just begun to come down outside, hitting the window that the two were right next to. As she began to speak, she had cleared her throat from crying that she had done as she saw the vision. “You’ll have to excuse me for not wanting to talk about it Celly.”

“I see… Does it involve what you were feeling yesterday?” Starry nodded her head as she continued to slightly cry, letting her tears run down her face as they dropped down onto the floor below. “Is… Is it really that bad?”

“Please Celly…”

Celestia knew it would be best to not push her friend, lest she ruin their friendship. Never in the 3,000 years that they were friends did she ever push her friend into doing something that she didn’t want to do, and she certainly wasn’t going to start now. “Very well Starry, but please, when you feel like you can, come tell me… I care about you Starry, and I want you to be happy. That’s what friends are for, right?” Starry nodded her head once more. “Thank you. I suppose I’ll excuse myself now.” Celestia said as she began to walk away from her friend, and as she was about to reach the hallway, she looked back at her friend with sadness.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Two weeks had passed, many of the mares who were already in his harem, and were interested, tried to get to Fiery, but he had turn them down because of Octavia. Patrick was getting offers as well, but Octavia still hadn’t shown any signs of anything that was supposed to happen. Instead, the night before the day they had to go back to the hospital, Octavia told Fiery something that she hadn’t told anypony else as they laid in Fiery’s bed together. “Fifi?”

“Yeah babe?” He asked, his arm wrapped around Octavia’s stomach as he laid in a spooning manner.

“I… I don’t know what to do Fifi…”

“I know babe, but it’s not your fault.”

“That’s not what I mean Fifi.” She quickly told him.

Fiery became confused and asked. “What do you mean ‘Tavi?”

“I mean I feel… I don’t know… I feel empty Fifi…” She began to tear up as she silently tried to make it not so obvious.

Fiery looked at Octavia in the face, worried, and asked once more. “What do you mean you feel empty?”

She wasn’t able to contain the tears anymore as they rolled down her face freely. “I mean I don’t feel like I have anything inside of me… I don’t feel a thing…”

Fiery began to hold Octavia closer to him and used his hoof to stroke her mane as he lied next to her. “Don’t cry baby, don’t cry. Please, everything is going to be alright.”

“But what if it isn’t alright Fiery? What if…”

“Don’t think like that baby, you’re… you’re just experiencing these things late, that’s all.” Fiery could feel himself begin to tear up as well as he laid there next to the mare he loved. “Let’s… Let’s just get some sleep, hmm? We’ll find out tomorrow that we’re just overreacting and that everything is going to be fine. I promise ‘Tavi, everything is going to be alright…”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The two woke up the next morning and had gone to the hospital with no problem, other than running into Redheart who asked Fiery about the promised date they were suppose to go on. “Look Heart, do we really have to do this right now?”

“Well we might as well since you’re here and all, right?” She asked back.

“Okay, okay… Look, I-I… When’s the next time you have a day off? The last time wasn’t my fault by the way.”

“I know, but if you must know, my next day off is next Wednesday.”

“Next Wednesday… Yeah, I think I can get back from Manehatten then.”

“Manehatten?” Redheart asked. “What are you doing in Manehatten?”

“I have a concert there this upcoming Monday.”

“Well congratulations darling.” Redheart said as she wrapped her hooves around his neck. “But enough about that-“ She began to whisper in her ear. “I have break in about thirty minutes, what’d you say?”

Fiery sighed. “Heart, I would take you up on your offer any other day, but today I really need to be with ‘Tavi.”

She unwrapped her arms from his neck and looked right into his eyes. “What’s the matter with Octavia?”

Fiery wasn’t sure how to respond. “I don’t know, but… It’s just something serious, alright?” Redheart could see he was disheartened about something and slowly nodded.

“Sure… I guess I’ll see you next Wednesday then…?”

“Yeah Heart, sounds great.” He put on a fake smile and began to walk over to Octavia.

As he walked over to her, Octavia spoke to Fiery. “Straighten everything out?”

“Yeah, but right now, I’m here for you babe, nopony else.”

Octavia put on a little smile and responded to him. “Thanks Fifi…” The two were silent for the rest of the time as they reached the room they were supposed to be in, Octavia sitting up on the table that she was going to asked to get on later, as they waited for the doctor who was suppose to check up on them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The two waited for about twenty minutes before a purple unicorn doctor mare with a combed caramel colored mane and tail, and a Cutie Mark of a female symbol ‘wearing’ a doctor’s robe. “It’s good to see you again Octavia.” The doctor spoke out in a calm, motherly tone.

“I wish I could say the same Doctor Stable.” Octavia tried to crack a smile, but was still saddened.

“Still nothing yet dear?” Octavia shook her head. “I see…” The doctor looked over to Fiery finally and greeted him. “I’m sorry, you must be the father.”

“Um, yes, that’s right. Fiery Embers.”

“Nice to meet you dear.” The doctor said to Fiery as she put on a smile. She then turned back to Octavia and spoke again. “Have you felt anything else since our last visit Ms. Pie?”

“Um… I-I’ve been feeling some minor pain in my lower back, as well as feeling…”

“Yes dear?”

“Empty…”

The doctor sighed and nodded her head. “I see… Well then Octavia, I want to run some tests. Do you mind if you get on your back? That way I can scan the area the foal is in to see if everything is alright. The results will come out in another room where I’ll have to go away for a little bit to look at it, and then I’ll come back and tell you the results, alright?” She asked the two, which they both responded with a nod. She smiled and responded. “Good.”

Octavia got onto her back like she was told, and then Doctor Stable got out a machine that was set aside in the room and had set it up so a satellite looking thing was located a little below where Octavia’s stomach area was. It wasn’t a machine that Fiery had seen at all, then again, he was in a world filled with ponies and such, so he was bound to see some machines that wouldn’t be the same as the human world.

With a flip of some switches and some knobs, the doctor had turned on the machine and it had begun to roar. After some minutes of the machine making noise, it suddenly stop, with a *ding* at the end. “Well, it seems to be all done.” The doctor spoke. “I’ll go check in the other room to see the results. If you two stay here, I’ll be right back.” The doctor said with a smile and then set the machine back in its proper place and then left the room.

Octavia got back on her bottom, sitting like a human, and wore a scared face. Fiery grabbed a hold of her hoof, and then smiled at her. “I’m sure everything is going to be fine ‘Tavi, you don’t need to worry.”

Octavia returned the smile with a small smile of her own and responded. “Thanks Fifi… But just a hypothetical Fifi…”

“No ‘Tavi, no hypothetical’s, I know everything will be alright.” Fiery tried reassuring her.

“You don’t know that Fifi…”

Fiery sighed. “Fine ‘Tavi, then what do you want me to do?” He asked in a frustrated tone.

Octavia stayed silent for a few seconds, but responded. “I just want you to stay by my side, to never leave me.”

Fiery let out another sigh as he looked up at Octavia and smiled. “Very well ‘Tavi, I promise I won’t go anywhere.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the room that Doctor Stable had talked about, she was going over the results. As she finally finished looking over them, she let out a sigh, getting Redheart’s attention who was also in the room. “Something wrong doctor?”

Doctor Stable looked over to Redheart and replied. “Good morning Redheart, I hadn’t seen you come in this morning.”

“I’ve been here all night, but what’s the problem doctor?”

“It’s the result of this test I just ran on Ms. Pie.”

“You mean Octavia Pie?” Doctor Stable nodded. “What’s wrong?”

“She was pregnant.”

The word ‘was’ caught Redheart’s attention. “Wait, what do you mean ‘was’?”

“As I said, I just ran a test on her using the magigram, the magical device that can detect any life in a mare’s womb… This time it couldn’t find any…”

Redheart gasped at the news. “B-But I thought she came in two weeks ago and the results came back positive for pregnancy?”

“It did.”

“T-T-Then?” Doctor Stable nodded. Redheart looked down at the ground in sadness. “Poor Octavia…” Redheart then looked up at the doctor and asked something else. “Do we know how?”

“The magigram detected something odd about the fetus. The reason why it… you know… is because of something strange that I’ve never seen before. The reason is because apparently the cells creating the fetus couldn’t figure out if it was suppose to be a foal or a baby of something else… Because of that, it just sort of gave up and passed on.”

“W-What do you mean doctor?”

Doctor Stable shook her head. “I don’t know Redheart, but I think Ms. Pie and Mr. Embers know… This is the hardest part of my job, but I have to tell them, maybe then I can figure out as to why the fetus, well, died… If you’ll excuse me Redheart.” Doctor Stable then walked out of the room, hovering the results using her horn, and began to walk back to the room that Fiery and Octavia were in.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As Doctor Stable reached their room and opened the door, she spoke to the two. “Mr. Embers?”

“Um, yes?” He asked as he looked back at the doctor.

“Do you mind if I can speak to you in private for a minute?”

“I-I suppose so…” Fiery responded, then turned back to Octavia and smiled. “I’ll only be gone for a minute babe, I promise.” He then kissed her on the forehead and began to walk out of the room with the doctor, leaving Octavia inside alone.

As the two walked out and closed the door behind them, Fiery spoke up. “So what’s this about doctor?”

“Mr. Embers, this might sound strange, but in the past two to three weeks, had Ms. Pie changed forms at all?”

“I don’t understand, what do you mean by ‘change forms’?”

Doctor Stable sighed. “What I mean is that, did she change into anything that wasn’t a pony by using magic?”

“Yeah, Princess Celestia had changed her about two weeks ago, why?” Fiery asked the doctor, fearing the worst.

“Mr. Embers, the machine I used on Ms. Pie can tell me if the foal inside a mare’s womb is healthy or not, can tell me if it’s being nurtured correctly or not, and it can tell me if… it’s alive or not…”

Fiery suddenly felt like he was hit by a freight train as he heard the doctor end her sentence. “Jesus…” He stayed silent for a few seconds before finally asking her. “How?”

“Excuse me?”

“Do you know how?”

“Um, yes. One of the functions of the magigram is that if a foal were to… die, that it can tell us how. This time it said something that in all my years of doing this job, as well as study, have never seen it do. Which is why I asked you at the beginning if she changed forms or not.”

“But what does that have anything to do with the kid?” Fiery asked, tears now streaming down his face.

“The magigram told me that the fetus was… well, confused, in a way. It was unsure of what to become, and because of that, it… ended itself…”

“How though? Fetuses don’t have the capacity to do something like that!”

“And how would you know that Mr. Embers? Something like this has never happened before in Equestrian, no, Terra history. I have seen miscarriages many other ways, but never have I seen or heard of anything such as a fetus aborting itself because it couldn’t figure out if it was a pony or not.”

Fiery stayed silent as he knew the doctor was right. How could he know? It’s not like humans could do something like that either, so they hadn’t disproved it either. This was something completely new that nobody, human or pony, had heard of before. He was finally able to find his voice after a minute of silence. “Um, h-how are you t-telling ‘Tavi?”

“Well Mr. Embers, that’s where I give you a choice, either I can tell her, or you can. Normally it’s best for the father to tell the mother as it’s better to hear it from someone they love rather than the doctor.”

“I-I see…” Fiery stayed quiet for a little bit more, tears still going down his cheeks, when he decided to question the doctor again. “Um, w-will we be able to, um… h-have future children?”

The doctor sighed. “I believe you will be able to Mr. Embers, so long as you don’t repeat the same mistakes. Other than that… I’m sorry Mr. Embers…” Fiery nodded his head, understanding what he had to do.

Fiery walked back into the room where Octavia was, who began to ask him immediately about what happened. “What’s going on? What did the doctor want?”

Fiery took in a deep breath and closed the door behind him, then spoke as tears still streamed down his face. “’Tavi… I want you to know that I love you very much. The doctor... the doctor told me that the magigram, the machine she used, told her something.”

“What? What is it?” Octavia asked in a frantic voice, now running up to Fiery and grabbing his forelegs. “What did she say Fiery?”

Fiery grabbed Octavia and brought her in for a hug. He then whispered into her ear about what happened. “I’m so sorry baby, I’m so sorry… The foal... h-he didn’t make it... Because he was changed between a pony and a human too many times before the fetus could decide what to become...”

Octavia pushed Fiery away from her and looked into his blue eyes. “Y-You can’t be serious!”

“I’m sorry ‘Tavi, but it’s true.” Fiery told her once more in a soft whisper. Octavia began to tear up as Fiery looked at her with a saddened face. She then burst into tears with all self control lost, mourning the loss of her unborn child. Fiery put a hoof on her shoulder, trying to console her over the loss.

Octavia smacked his hoof away, then screamed at him. “Don’t touch me!”

“‘T-Tavi! Calm down!” ‘Damnit, why isn’t this working?! I thought the doctor said they appreciated it more when they hear it from ponies they love!’

“Don’t tell me to calm down, you bastard! I... never should have met you!”

“Don’t say that ‘Tavi, you don’t mean that.” He then grabbed Octavia and brought her in for a hug, refusing to let go.

“Let go of me! I... I just want to be alone...” She said to him through her tears. Fiery refused to leave. He was determined to hug her until she calmed down, but she wouldn’t. “I wish I never met you Fiery...”

“Don’t say that ‘Tavi, you know you don’t mean that. You love me and I love you.”

“I never should’ve given up my first time to you... I never should’ve gone to Earth for you... I should’ve never fallen for you...” She finally finished as she continued to cry into Fiery’s shoulder, until she finally had no more tears to cry. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Alright guys, Chapter 27. First off, I’d like to say that for anybody out there who has had to go through the painful experience of a miscarriage, I apologize if this offends you in any way, shape, or form, as I’m doing this for the story as you’ll learn later on, but also anything that happened to Octavia I learned from stories and from things on the internet and such. Second off, I wish to tell everyone, no, I am not suddenly going emo with this story, just for maybe one or two chapters. I only did this to show you that Equestria isn’t all sunshine and such, and that tragic events such as this could potentially happen. Third off, I’d like to thank GX98 and Zyrian for coming up and answering my call for assistance, so thanks you guys, I appreciate it *Smiley face* That is all.
