Author's Notes:

Greetings everypony, this is Octavia once again. Apparently Swiftriff wishes to warn you that there are some adult content later, which he provides a warning for those who wishes to skip it. Also there is a song he presents in the story called 'Kiss from a Rose' played by 'No Fair Fights'. Apparently its a cover song, but still suitable for the occasion. Oh, he also would like to thank everypony for their ongoing praise, compliments and reviews. As well as apologizes for taking quite some time in uploading this chapter. Further will be explained later. But without further ado, please enjoy the story.

We watched in admiration as Vincent proudly declares the new name for the Blade of Legends, now and forever shall be known as Salvation. Within his grasp shall the weapon live by its name, and shalt its meaning be delivered to those who cross his path. Whilst Vincent was admiring the blade, we noticed something on his person.

"Vincent, what is that strap that rest upon thee?" He looked at us quizzically before examining himself and followed the strap on his chest with his hand to his back.

"I think it's some kind of holster for Salvation. Let me check." He states as he lifts the blade over his shoulder and lays it on his back before something clicked. He released his hold as Salvation remained held in place on his back. His display was so pronounced and bold as he stood before us, resonating the impression of a true warrior in sight, but yet we knew his heart was gentle and kind. We raised our hand to our chest as we felt succumbed by some warm sensation. "What is this feeling that we are experiencing? This sensation occurs with Vincent in presence, but why? Is this admiration…no, it is deeper than that. Could it be that we are…infatuated with Vincent? Nay, it can't be. We are just friends, but…this feeling is different than what we have with Twilight or my dear Sister."

"Luna?" We snapped out of our thought as Vincent beckoned our attention with a look of concern. "Is everything alright?" He asked sincerely.

"Yes. Everything is fine. We were only in thought for the moment." We replied.

"What was on your mind?" He asked in curiosity. We blushed at his question, knowing that our thoughts were involved on him.

"Um… Let us make way back to the entrance." We stated, trying to ignore the question and changed the subject. We made our way up the stairs as Vincent followed behind. We looked back after a moment and witnessed a blush upon Vincent's face. Confused by his expression, we followed his gaze and realized why he was blushing as he was enthralled by our posterior. We quickly faced forward once more as we felt a heaving blush spreading. "Dost Vincent find our body attractive? We know he likes our quality as a mare but…dost he view us as more than just a friend?" We stopped at the top of the stairs as Vincent came up and out of the stairs entry.

We turned to face him as we used our magic to return the alter to its prior place, concealing the entry as we slowly approached Vincent. "We must know how he truly feels towards us." He was confused by our action as we slowly approached him as he stepped backwards and stumbled on top of the alter. We were standing inches in front of him as we looked down upon him.
"Did thou find something appealing whilst behind us?" We asked with a subtle accusing tone. He was blushing more as he stammered over his words.

"I uh…um, he he." We leaned over his form, both hands resting beside him as we looked into his eyes.

"Or was it our behind that captured thy attention?" We questioned with a sly smirk as his eyes widened in shock.

"Y-y-you saw me…uh…I-I-I mean…" we placed a finger upon his lips to silence him.

"Vincent, we wish to know how thee truly feel towards us." We gently stated before he cast his gaze away with a prominent blush. We gave him a moment before he looked back at us.

"I find you to be alluring in many ways. When you pronounce yourself, you speak the way you wish to speak, you keep priorities in order and settle matters at hand, but also welcome the joyful interactions that others have to offer. When I first met you, I thought you were the night itself, taking shape and form as an equally beautiful mare. Your voice spoke with captivation with a tone that lifts my very soul. For some reason, I felt connected with you and I couldn't for the life of me figure out why, but for some reason, in that short time I felt comfortable with you." He confessed, staring into his hazel eyes we could feel his words ring truth in them. He took our breath away, and the sensation in our heart grew ever more, almost to the brink of bursting from within. Our mind was at a loss as we instinctively reach out and cupped both his cheeks as we stared at one another.

"Dost thou have feelings for us?" We gently asked, almost to a whisper. He stared back in a dream-like captivation as he slowly replies.

"I…" We wait with anticipation, but our body was in a trance as we slowly leaned closer to each other. Then as our eyes closed, our lips barely open as we felt the softness of his lips. Our body gave way as we pressed forward, resting our knees beside Vincent as we deepen our kiss ever slowly and delicately. Our heart exploded in a burning flame that heated our very being. Then we were pulled into his body as his strong grasp embraced us. He inhales deeply through his nose as we shared this beautiful moment as it etches into our heart. This human who accepts us, listens to us, and cares for us. We never want this to end, to hold this feeling for the rest of our days, and in that moment, realization struck us with an answer to our question. Our lips parted as we rest our foreheads on each other before we opened our eyes to be met with his, and then we whispered to him.

"I love you."

I sat there with my mind racing with questions as I held Luna within my arms. "Did she just confess her love for me…and without speaking in the 'Royal we'? I care for her, I truly do but…how do I proceed with this? Rarity wishes to be in a relationship with me, Applejack may possibly be infatuated with me, and now Luna, the Princess of the Night, just confessed her love to me. What do I do?" As I was in thought, her gaze was still on me. Her beautiful blue eyes, they drift me away from all my troubled thoughts as I continued to gaze into them.

"Luna, I don't know what to say." I whispered to her. She gently closed her eyes as she smiles upon nuzzling me.

"Thou need not to say anything." She coos softly before she rises off the alter and stands back on her hooves. I looked at her puzzled before she spoke.

"Tis almost time to raise the moon, let us make hast to Rarity's before we depart for our duties." I nodded in understanding, realizing her concern as I took a stand as she held my hand before we teleported once again, arriving this time by the Carousel Boutique. I turned to face Luna as she now holds my hand with both of hers.

"Take care Vincent, and we thank thee." She stated with a smile as I asked softly.

"For what?"

"For thy genuine words and true feelings," she replied as she placed her hand over my heart, "for we finally feel wanted." After hearing those last words, I finally understand why I felt connected to her and comfortable in her presence. It was because I understood her pain of not feeling recognized or appreciated for what she does, and in turn feeling ignored, distant, and alone. To feel loved and accepted by someone, in a way that despite the flaws, you are precious and held dearly. I yearned for those same feelings, and somehow, when I met her, I knew.

I instinctively found myself embracing Luna, surprising her before she returns a loving embrace.

"I feel the same way." I whispered.

"Hmm?" She indicated in wonder.

"To feel wanted, to alleviate this distant feeling, and to be accepted for who we are." I answered. I then hear Luna sniffle as she leaned back to face me, as I witnessed her shedding small tears with a smile.

"Thou truly are amazing. We feel blessed to have met thee." She wiped her tears away as she continued. "Alas, we must take our leave, but we shall meet again soon."

"I look forward to that." I said. She took her hand and placed it on my cheek as she caressed me.

"Farewell, dear Vincent." She softly bids with a smile as her horn glows before she gently pulls her hand away and vanishes. I stood there for a moment as I smiled and looked to the sky.

"Farewell Luna." I softly bid as I turned to face the Boutique and made my way to the front door.

~Knock Knock Knock~

"Come in~" I hear Rarity call out in a sing-song tune, and with her permission I opened the door and stepped inside with the bell chiming as the door opens and closes behind me.

"I'll be there in a moment dear." I hear her address from the room in the back. I then feel a tugging on my shirt and looked to find nobody in sight.

"Excuse me mister." I hear a cute girly voice followed by more tugging. I looked down to see the cutest little thing ever. A little white filly with brilliant green eyes and wavy hair with prominent curls in the ends that was two-toned of light purple and pink. She was wearing an adorable white frilly dress with laced ends and floral designs, and she only reached to about my stomach.

I was barely containing myself from having a heart attack as I kneeled to her to address her.

"Well hello there." I greeted sweetly. She smiled at me as she held her hands together in front of her.

"Hello, what's your name mister?" The little filly asked with a cute high-pitched voice.

"My name is Vincent, and what's your name little lady?"

"My name is Sweetie Belle." She exclaimed while swaying adorably to the side. "Gah, she is simply adorable." I squeak internally.

"Sweetie Belle? That's a very pretty name." I complimented.

"Thanks. You're a really nice pony." I chuckled when she said that.

"Oh, I'm not a pony."

"You're not? Then what are you?" She asked in wonder.

"I'm a human." I answered, earning a confused look.

"Are you a knight?" I couldn't help but smile at that question, it was just too precious. She gave me a hopeful gaze as she waits for my answer.

"How do you know I'm a knight?" I asked with a smile on my face.

"Because you look big and strong, you seem really nice, and only knights carry big swords like that." She explained while pointing at Salvation on my back. I only chuckled at how adorable she was and thinking I was a knight. Then Rarity returned from the back room.

"Sweetie Belle, what are you doing?" Rarity asked as she came into view.

"I was just talking with a knight." Sweetie replied innocently.

"A knight?" Rarity asked in confusion.

"Yeah," she said pointing to me as she resumed, "his name is Vincent." Rarity looked at me in wonder as I just mouthed 'Just go with it'. She gave me an amused smile as she stated.

"I'm glad you could make it Vincent. I hope Sweetie Belle didn't cause you any trouble?"

"Quite the contrary, I find her to be a bundle of joy. I didn't know you had a little sister Lady Rarity." I replied. Sweetie Belle was looking back and forth between Rarity and I.

"Wait…You know him sis?" Sweetie asked as her voice cracked a bit.

"Why yes, he just returned from a mission requested by the Princesses." Rarity replied as Sweetie looked back at me with shock.

"You know the Princesses?" She asked.

"Mmhmm." I nodded. Sweetie Belle grew the most adorable smile of awe and wonder I have ever seen. "Aww, I just wanna hug her. She is too damn adorable, I don't think my heart can take this anymore."

"Sweetie Belle, I think that's enough excitement for one night. Now run along upstairs and I'll be there shortly." Rarity stated with a caring smile.

"Aww, okay. I'll see you later Mister Vincent." She bids before she makes her way up the stairs before I hear a door close. I looked back at Rarity as she looked at me with an amused smirk.

"What?" I asked, feeling awkward in her gaze.

"Vincent the Knight?" She teased. I looked away as I rubbed the back of my head from my little moment.

"Don't judge me, she was giving me those pleading eyes. I just couldn't say 'no'." I grumbled, having my say to hopefully reason, or better known as excuse, myself from this awkward position I'm in.

"I'm not judging you, darling. I actually thought it was really sweet. I didn't know you have a soft side for fillies." I blushed as she clarified herself, embarrassed of being figured out so easily but happy she sees it in a positive perspective. I looked back at Rarity hoping to change the subject.

"So Rarity, what did you want to talk about?" I asked earnestly, bringing back the reason why I was asked to be here in the first place.

"Oh, well I was wondering, when you left your world and came here to Equestria, you didn't bring extra clothes with you by chance, am I correct?" Rarity questioned, and upon her deduction, she hit the nail on the head.

"Unfortunately, you're right. I didn't expect to arrive in another world so I didn't think to pack clothes for the trip." I joked upon my explanation.

"Quite understandable darling. Now the reason why I asked for you is because I wish to provide you with some clothes that would suffice at least for a week's time." She explained.

"That sounds perfect. So how much would this cost? I don't have the money right now but I should be working and earning some bits tomorrow." I indicated.

"Oh no, darling. I'm not asking for payment, this is a gift for you." I gained a more serious expression when she told me I wasn't to pay for her products. I crossed my arms and spoke in a serious tone.

"No Rarity. I refuse to accept your offer without rewarding you for your time and effort." This surprised Rarity as she pressed to offer as a gift.

"It's fine darling. Really, it's not an issue to me whatsoever."

"I appreciate your generosity, I really do, but I refuse to take advantage of my friends and be given things without working for them. It doesn't sit right with me, and with respect, I stand by my decision." I declared with an adamant tone as Rarity looked at me, searching for words to help persuade me, but in the end, sighs in defeat and looks back to me with a smile.

"Very well darling. Follow me please so we may further discuss the matter." I nodded as she turns and I follow her to what appears to be a lounge area to the left of the entrance. We took a seat as she levitated a clipboard to her hands as she readies a feathered pen.

"So Vincent, as I said earlier I would like to create an ensemble that may last you within a week, would you mind duplications of the attire you are wearing or perhaps a change of variety?" I thought this over, considering I don't know what the expense may be or how much I would be earning from AJ's. So probably go with a simple route and down the road I can order more varied choices.

"I think it'll be simpler to make duplicates of what I'm wearing now." I requested as Rarity wrote on the clipboard.

"Now would you like to have different color schemes with your attire?" She asked further.

"For my pants, preferably dark blue or black, just black socks, for both shirts a variety of single-toned colors of black, red, blue, white, green and orange. As for boxers, I have no preference except no light colors like white or pink." I listed as she giggled at my emphasize of boxer colors as she finished writing my listings on her clipboard. She finished writing as she stood up from her chair and looked my way.

"Okay Vincent, now follow me to the podium so we may take your measurements." I stood and followed behind her to a small stage that was raised almost to my waist with three mirrors to give the 'model' a good look of themselves from all sides. Rarity turned to face me with her clipboard in hand with a cute smile.

"Now dear, please strip your clothes off." She said nonchalantly.

"…"

I stood there deadpanning her. "And it was going so well."

"You want me to do what now?" I questioned as she gave me an amused look.

"I need to get a thorough measurement, and your clothes may tamper with the results, so the best approach is to measure you while your body is bare." She explained. I sighed and nodded in agreement as Rarity smiles while levitating a measuring tape to herself.

"Now if you wish you can use the changing room over…" She started as she heard a shuffle.

~Click Click Fwish~

I was already removing my sword, resting it on the side of the podium and stripping down to my boxers as Rarity's eyes open wide in an excited disbelief as her cheeks burned red. I looked at her as she held her clipboard to conceal her blushing expression as I smirked.

"See something you like?" I teased. This didn't help her in containing her excitement as she eyed me like a piece of candy.

"I wasn't expecting you to take such a…bold action." She said as I just chuckled with one hand on my hip.

"Well you're no stranger in seeing me bare and…'exposed'." I said with a bit of charm in my tone. She approached me with the tape in hand. She then stopped and eyed me sweetly as I gazed back to her.

~Smack~

Okay, I didn't expect her to slap my arm with the tape.

"Quit teasing darling and let us resume with those measurements."

"And like that, she earned some respect points. 'Business before pleasure'." I was chuckling from our little act as she started to giggle herself from our little moment.

"So, should I strike a pose or something?" I joked.

"That won't be necessary. Just raise your arms as I take your measurements." I did as I was told as Rarity began pressing the cold tape on my body. I began to shiver slightly from the contact.

"Is it a little drafty darling?" She asked with concern.

"No, just the tape. But don't mind me, I'll live." I replied with a grin. She resumed taking measurements while writing on her clipboard with her magic, then got a front of me for a last check-up on my waist, and writing it down on her clipboard. She put the tape away, but didn't move from in front of me as she wrapped her arms around me in a loving embrace. I could feel her body's warmth as it heated my bare skin.

"It's hard not to 'mind you', darling." She said as she looked at me while I was mesmerized in her beautiful blue eyes.

"Rarity…" I barely said as I was entranced in her gaze.

"I know you wish to take the time to better know one another, and I respect that. But it only becomes harder to contain myself whenever I'm with you. I'm not trying to put pressure on you, I just want you to know that what I feel and the 'moment' we had, I truly meant it as something special." She said with conviction in her words. Even though she means well, it only made it tougher for me as the thought of Luna and Rarity came to mind.

"I know." I said. She looked at me as she raised her hand to caress my cheek. Her expression change from affection to that of worry or concern.

"Is there something wrong darling? You seem troubled." I shook my head and smiled as I looked back at Rarity.

"I'm fine. Just a lot has happened in the short amount of time I've been here." I stated, but even though I tried to steer the topic away, Rarity seemed to know better.

"Is it me? Did I do something wrong?" She asked slightly hurt. I was surprised by her response as I immediately held her close to comfort her.

"Of course not. Why would you think there is something wrong?" She held me tighter as she replied.

"Because I finally found a wonderful stallion that treats me like a lady, and I fear that maybe, I'm being too fast and I might be driving you away."

"You're not driving me away Rarity. I just don't want to do something that may hurt you, I care for you and do not wish to lose what we have, and I want to make certain I make the right choice for the both of us, which is why I'm taking some time to think about it." I explained as Rarity pulled back, still in each other's arms as she looked at me.

"You don't think I'm being too forward, do you?" She asked as I smiled before leaning forward, answering her question with a tender kiss. She didn't refuse the action as she pressed to add a caring passion before we released.

"That means no, my dear." I replied with a playful smirk as she chuckled. She then looked away before tapping my chest as she said.

"You should put your clothes on and get ready to meet Pinkie." I nodded as I kissed her once more before releasing our embrace so I can get my clothes back on. Once I finished getting dressed and strapped the sword to my back. I turned to face Rarity as she seemed deep in thought before chanting.

"Idea~." I raised my eyebrows at the sudden display as it peaked my interest.

"Something on your mind?" I asked with a grin.

"Oh it's nothing, only an inspiration. But now I must ask you come by tomorrow." Rarity stated cheerfully.

"Sure, I don't mind. I'll come by after working with Applejack. But what's the occasion?" I asked as my curiosity was increasing. She only giggled as she replied.

"It's a surprise." Simply put before she pecked my lips and bid me out the door as we said our goodbyes. I turned to the open street, checked my phone for the time and realized I still have about an hour…and my battery is almost dead…Awesome. "Well let's see here, I have some time to kill. Maybe I can head over to Twilights place and drop off Salvation…If I can figure out where it's at…Damn." I literally face palmed when I remembered I don't know how to get to Twilights place because I was knocked out when I got there. I noticed a minty green unicorn walking by as I was contemplating. "Welp, time to be streetwise. Roll for initiative…Lets do this." I mentally joked as I approached the unicorn from behind.

"Pardon me," I indicated as she turned to face me as I resumed. "But do you know how to…"

"Oh my gosh, are you a human? Like, a real human?" she exclaimed much to my surprise.

"Well, yea. I mean I don't know a fake one." I replied awkwardly as she started laughing at my comment.

"You're pretty funny, and pretty cute too." She commented while she began checking me out. She looked at me with her golden eyes in a sultry gaze as I gulped in worry. "I think I rolled a twenty or a one because this took a turn for the extreme." I looked at her and she was pretty attractive despite her first impression. A short light-mint green mane and tail with white highlights, a white collared dress t-shirt with a yellow vest with some B-cup breasts, and a white frilly skirt with a golden harp for a cutie mark.

"Look miss…"

"Lyra."

"Lyra?"

"Lyra Heartstrings." She beamed.

"Cute. Look I'm trying to find…"
"Aww, you think I'm cute too?"

"N-now wait a minute here…"

"Aww, am I making you shy?"

"N-n-no. That's not it. I'm…"

"It's okay. You don't have to be shy around me…" She stated while getting awfully close, I mean really close as she continued, "I won't bite…unless you want me to." She said in a very seductive tone. This was starting to get out of hand. I need to do something to get her attention.

"So how about you come over to mmph…" She was interrupted as I shushed her and placed a finger over her lips.

"Mmm." She hummed with a sultry smile as she pecked my finger with her lips, making me pull back in response.

"Listen Lyra." I spoke in an assertive tone.

"Yes~?" She cooed.

"I'm trying to find a library somewhere here in town, supposed to look like a tree. Can you point me to the right direction please?"

"You mean the Golden Oak Library? Why didn't you say so to begin with?" She beamed as I grumbled to myself.

"I was trying to." She must have not heard me, or was simply ignoring my comment as she grabbed my hand.

"Come on, I'll show you the way." She said as she dragged me to what I hope was my destination. "What have I gotten myself into?" We made our way as she decided to get to know me a little better, although I was a little apprehensive, I didn't want to be rude.

"So what's your name?" She asked nicely.

"Vincent."

"Vincent?"

"Vincent Valor."

"Oooh." She said in a strange tone that seemed like she discovered something important.

"What's up?" I asked curiously towards her tone.

"The sky is, silly." I deadpanned at her choice of reply.

"I mean is something on your mind?" I stated with slight frustration.

"Oh no, nothing important. So are you new around here?"

"Yes actually, just arrived…I think three days ago." I said recalling my time spent here. She continued looking at me, soaking up what I'm saying with a happy grin.

"That's neat. How do you like it so far?" She asked.

"A lot actually. It's peaceful, the ponies are nice, everypony has been very welcoming with me, and I can't really complain. I had some run-in with somepony causing trouble, but that issue is now resolved." I expressed as she kept her smile before it turned to a more hopeful and seducing gaze.

"So…do you have a marefriend?" Her sudden question threw me off as I only sighed, regretting the outcome my honest answer would bring me.

"No I don't." Her eyes looked like it sparkled in eagerness as she became rather excited.

"Are you looking for one because…" She grabbed a hold of my arm in hers and squeezed them in a hug and in between her breasts as she gazed up at me with half-lidded eyes, "I wouldn't mind being your special somepony." She finished seductively. I sighed as I struggled to reel my arm out of her grasp.

"As nice as that sounds Lyra, and don't take this the wrong way, but I'm not desperate by any means. I have standards and wish to better acquaint myself before I…'tie the knot'." She released me as she went in a dream-like trance as she wooed and twirled.

"Can you blame a mare for trying? I mean, all my life I've always wanted to meet a human and here you are." She gestured to me with open arms before clasping them to herself in a self-embrace as she continued. "A handsome human that stands before me, as if fate has finally granted my wish." I had to admit, she was very enthusiastic in her display. As I was ready to make a comment, she draped her arms over my shoulders as she pressed her body against mine. I had to stop walking as to not run into her as her golden eyes shimmered in the night sky as she was entranced by me.

"Oh Vincent…" She whispered. "Oh no, please not this again."

"It must be fate…" She whispered as she drew closer to me. "I can't let this keep going like this. Gotta stop her." Her lips were close to mine as I can feel her breathe as she uttered.

"For us to be togeeeh…." Her words faltered as she began to sag against me and lose conscious. I quickly reacted to hold her and keep her from collapsing. I crouched to let her rest against me as I sat there dumbfounded. "Um…What the hell just happened?" I gently slapped her cheek to try to stir her awake.

"Lyra? Lyra, are you alright? Lyra?!" She remained motionless, but still breathing so that was a good sign. I sighed at the event I was in as I spotted the large tree down the road. "Why am I so lucky?" I mentally joked as I scooped Lyra and picked her up to carry her to Twilights. "Well at least she stopped her advances." I made my way to Twilights front door while carrying Lyra as I knocked on the door with my foot. Shortly after, I hear footsteps as the door opens to reveal a purple lizard with green pajama bottoms in front of me. I was a little confused but brushed that aside.

"Hey you're uh…Vincent right?" He sounded a bit like a young teenage boy as he asked. I nodded as I spoke.

"Yes I am. But how do you know my name?"

"From Twilight, besides I saw you last night. Oh wow, she doesn't look too good. Here, come inside." He beckoned as he opened the door wider to allow us access in.

"Thanks."

"Just set her on the couch." He urged. I laid her down and grabbed a small pillow and placed it under her head gently.

"What happened to her?" He asked with concern. I only removed my sword as I turned to sit on another couch adjacent to the couch Lyra was on and sat Salvation beside me.

"I have no idea. We were talking and what-not before she just…collapsed on me." I stated. The purple lizard guy just went to examine her closely as his expression lightens up as he took a seat beside me.

"She's just magically exhausted." He informed me.

"What does that mean?" I asked in concerned.

"It's when a unicorn uses too much magic and use up their energy, leaving them tired or exhausted." I let this sink in as I thought it over as I whispered.

"But she didn't use any magic."

"Huh?" The lizard asked, not hearing what I said. Then a thought occurred about what Luna said earlier regarding my sword and how it drained a unicorn magic and nullifies it. "Maybe, she touched my sword and…possibly it sapped her energy upon contact." I looked back at the lizard as he gave me a curious look.

"I think I know what happened. But can I get a bandage by chance?" Now he was really curious as he gave me a raised eyebrow.

"Why do you need a bandage?" He asked.

"I need to wrap my sword, I'll explain more but I need something to wrap this in." I urged as he slowly sat up and made his way upstairs. "Hopefully having it concealed will not affect those who accidentally touch it like poor Lyra." I thought as I looked at Lyra as she was resting peacefully. "She's pretty cute when she isn't trying to make advances on me." I then saw the lizard come down with a roll of gauze.

"So you know my name, but I never got yours." I hinted to the purple lizard.

"Name's Spike, Twilights number one assistant." He said proudly as he gave me the wrap.

"Thanks. So what kind of lizard are you anyways?" I asked, apparently he didn't like my question as he huffed smoke out of his nose…wait, smoke?

"I'm not a lizard, I'm a dragon. Draaaagoooon." He clarified. Now I feel like a dick, this whole time I thought he was a lizard…hahaha woops. I awkwardly chuckled as I rubbed my head in embarrassment.

"Hehe, um…my bad dude." He only sighed before he sat down as I wrapped Salvation from the tip to the handle, making sure not a single part was exposed.

"Hey, can I ask you a question?" Spike asked. I looked at him as I was cross-wrapping the guard and blade.

"Yea shoot."

"Do you like Rarity?" This drew interest from me on where this was going, but I answered him in respect.

"Of course, she's a good friend of mine." I stated as he looked at me more sternly.

"That's not what I meant." He corrected as I sighed upon his meaning. I stopped what I was doing and looked at him as I gave him my answer.

"Yes I do." He only nodded before he sighed and cast his eyes down.

"I used to have a crush on Rarity." He stated wearily, which really got my attention as I pressed it forward.

"What do you mean 'used to'?" He looked away, probably finding it difficult to answer, but I was persistent.

"What happen?" I gently asked. He sighed once more as he spoke.

"I confronted her with my feelings and she told me that it wouldn't work out. I was a young dragon who had feelings for somepony who was 'mature' and she urged me to find somepony my age who I could relate with." I felt bad for the guy, having been rejected is a terrible feeling. But I sense that something happened since then, otherwise he wouldn't talk to me like this.

"I felt pretty down for a while and was at a loss of what to do. But I think I found somepony who appreciates me for me and doesn't think less of who I am." He continued as I smiled upon his catch. I figured there was something good out of this, but now…

"So who's the lucky mare?" I happily asked. He looked at me with a genuine smile as he replied.

"Sweetie Belle." My eyes grew wide with shock with my mouth hanging open.

"Rarity's sister is your marefriend?!" I said in shock. He began to blush a dark purplish-red hue as he cast his eyes to the floor, slowly nodding in embarrassment. I bumped my elbow on his shoulder playfully as I was beaming in delight.

"You little lucky scoundrel. I am very happy for you dude. Can't go wrong with that one, she seems like a really sweet mare, pretty curious, and very adorable." I complimented as he was madly blushing now upon my comments.

"You don't find it strange that I'm dating Rarity's sister?" He asked while twiddling his thumbs. I only scoffed as I replied.

"Should that really matter what I think? Sure, you're dating her sister after being rejected from your confession. But you know what, this is only a sign of you moving on and living your life the way you want to. I mean you still care for Rarity obviously, and I can assume you're both still friends. To me, I see a dragon who made a tough, but mature decision, and I couldn't be more happy for you bro." I stated as I raised my fist up with a big smile on my face. Spike looked at me then smiled as we bumped fists.

"Thanks dude." He said as I nodded and continued to finish wrapping Salvation.

"You know, Twilight was right about you. You really are a pretty cool guy." He complimented.

"Thanks Spike. You're a pretty cool dude yourself, and whatever you do, don't change who you are." I said as I finished wrapping the sword in front of me.

"Finally." I sighed in relief.

"Eerm." A grumble emitted from the couch as Lyra stirred awake. I grew concern for her as I sat up straight.

"Lyra, are you alright? How are you feeling?" She slowly sat up with a big smile as she stretched with her eyes closed.

"I had the most wonderful dream. I met a handsome human here in Ponyville and…" She softly said as she was waking up and saw me and Spike. She stood there gawking before she grew a big smile full of glee before she pounced on me.

"Vincent!" She beamed as she landed on me, nuzzling herself against me as I was sprawled on the couch. I looked to Spike if he can help me out, but he only gave me narrowed eyes as he crosses his arms.

"It's not what you think bro." I stated in defensively, he chuckled as he shakes his head.

"It's cool dude, it's to be expected from her. She keeps talking about 'there are humans, they're real', and here you are." He said in understanding, much to my relief. I looked at a nearby clock and saw that I had less than twenty minutes to meet Pinkie.

"Shit. I gotta go. Lyra can you…sigh." I urged and realizing she wasn't budging, I sighed as I leaned up and hoisted her with my left arm under her rear as she 'eeped' from my action. Once standing, I locked Salvation on my back with it wrapped completely as I carried Lyra to the door to make our exit.

"I'll catch ya later Spike. Oh, if you see Twilight, can you tell her I stopped by?" I called out behind me.

"Sure thing Vincent. Take care." He bids as Lyra and I were out and the door closed behind us. As I stood outside, cradling Lyra in my arm, she sighs in content as she rest her head under my chin with her arms wrapped over my shoulders, and to be perfectly honest, this felt really nice. But all good things come to an end sometimes, and so I gently held her under her shoulders and lift her off of me. She dangled in my grasp giving me an adorable puppy look, as if saying 'I want more huggles'. I cringed at her adorableness and sat her down on her hooves as I began explaining.

"Listen Lyra, it was nice having you as company, but I have to be somewhere right now." She held her hands behind her back as she leaned forward looking up at me.

"Do you have to go to Sugarcube Corner?" She asked innocently. My eyes went wide as she nailed my destination on the spot, but…how could she have known that?

"Um…y-y-yeah that's right, but…how?" I stuttered in surprise as she giggled and held on to my arm.

"That's where I'm going, so why not go together since we're going to the same place." She suggested. "Well, I can't say 'no'. So I guess I'm still stuck with her. This is gonna be a long night." I sighed while rubbing my head with my free arm as I replied.

"Fine. Let's hurry and get to the shop." With that we made our way to our destination. Then Lyra looked at me in thought as she asked.

"Hey Vincent. How did you get us to the library?" I looked at her amusingly as I replied.

"That's easy, I carried you there. You're actually pretty light so it was an easy task." She looked at me with a playful smile as she released my arm. I looked at her suspiciously before she exclaimed.

"Catch me Vincent." She jumped to me unexpectedly as I barely was able to stretch my arms out to catch her. So there I was, carrying her like a bride...don't get any ideas. She looked up at me innocently as she said.

"You're really sweet Vincent. Has anypony every told you that?"

"I can't recall." I said nonchalantly as I just gave up and proceeded to carry her. She snuggled herself close to me as she gently slides her finger on my chest.

"I'm really glad I met you. This is probably the best night I ever had." She said gently. I don't know why, but hearing those words really hit my heart, I couldn't help but look at her and smile. "Ya know, she's not so bad I suppose. Yeah, she could be forward and a hell of a temptress, but she could be really sweet when she wants to be." We finally arrived as we stood at the front of Sugarcube Corner. I sat Lyra down on her hooves as I made my way to the door with Lyra behind me. All the lights were out and the streets weren't really so busy, but what really captured my attention was a sign on the door. It wasn't an 'Open/Close' sign, but a sign that read 'Come in!'

I looked at Lyra in confusion, but she only gestured back as she shrugged her shoulders. I made my way up the small flight of stairs and carefully reached for the handle to slowly open the door steadily. The interior was pitch black with the lack of lighting to illuminate my surrounding as I pressed forward a tad bit.

"Hello?" I called out. Suddenly the lights flicked on as I was blinded by its sudden brightness as a pink blur clouded my vision.

"Surprise!" I hear the roar of many voices, I jumped back in shock which was the worst mistake I made as I tumbled down the stairs and lay on my back just barely off the last step. I had a throbbing headache from its sudden abuse and was slightly dazed as I saw a swirling green figure.

"Vincent…" I tried to collect myself and focus my vision as I finally saw Lyra above me clearly in worry.

"Vincent, are you alright?" She asked in alarm.

"Oh yea, just peachy." I groaned in a joking manner as I rolled of my back and stood on my feet.

"Oopsie daisy. Sorry Vivi, just wanted to surprise you for the party, not to lead you to take a nap." Pinkie apologized…I guess, while making her playful jokes.

"Party? What party?" I looked at Pinkie as she dusts me off with her hands and tail.

"Why your party silly. Now come on, the party is inside." She said while urging me in the cupcake house as Lyra followed behind while giggling.

"Alright, alright, I'm going." I chuckled as we entered through the threshold to see a collection of colorful ponies all around as they watched me in curiosity. Can't say I blame em', I am…different I guess by their standards.

"Hey Vincent!" I hear a bubbly voice as I see Shieldoath running towards me through the crowd. But I noticed that she wasn't slowing down as I began to fear for the worst.

"NonononononoGaaaaahhh…" I urged as she literally jumped straight at me in a hug, throwing me back towards the stairs…

That is before Pinkie held me up from behind.

"Nope, not this time silly." Pinkie joked, saving me from another tumble. She helped me back up as I looked back to thank her, and then turned my attention to the silly barnacle latched on to me.

"Next time, let's be a little more careful where we play 'catch'. Okay Oath?" I commented as she hopped off me and gave me the 'okay' thumbs up before Swordsworn appeared, waving my way.

"Hey Sworn, so what brings you guys here?" I asked them.

"We just came by to personally congratulate you on your test." Swordsworn said as he glance behind me to see the wrapped weapon strapped on my back before looking back at me, "and also for obtaining the Blade of Legends."

"Wait, that's that Blade of Legends?! It's huge!" Shieldoath commented as I laughed while mumbling to myself, "That's what she said."

"What?" Pinkie asked from behind me.

"Nothing." I quickly said, forgetting she was still behind me. I took notice of Shieldoath and Swordsworn as they weren't wearing their armor but instead are in some casual clothing. Shieldoath was wearing a yellow tank-top with navy blue jeans that had her heart-shield Cutie Mark on the pockets, while Swordsworn was wearing a dark green dress shirt and black slacks with his crossed swords Cutie Mark on the pockets as well. "At least they won't get their clothes mixed up."

"Lyra, there you are!" I heard a female voice shouting out from a crowd. A butter colored earth pony with a purple mane and tail with pink streaks that was rather long and curled at the ends, was approaching our way in a frustrated manner. She had a blouse that had a horizontally striped color design of slate and dark grey, with a fitted light blue jean that showed her curves quite nicely and stacked with decent C-cup sized breasts. She glared towards Lyra with her light blue eyes as Lyra hid behind me.

"Hey Bon Bon, w-w-what are you doing here?" Lyra asked nervously.

"What do you mean 'what am I doing here'?! We were invited here remember? You told me you were gonna go on a little stroll then come back to walk with me here, and I was waiting for over an HOUR, and you didn't show up. What happened?" She fumed as Lyra flinched and began to cower a bit at her mistake as she, as I figured, stood her up.

"Look Bon Bon, I'm really really REALLY sorry. I was on my way back but then I met this human, we started talking and…"

"Ooooh no, you're not using that 'human excuse' this time. Now tell the truth." She huffed. I sighed as I figured I should help clarify, since even though I didn't ask for her to come along, Lyra wasn't lying on the matter.

"Um…Excuse me miss." I called for the mare's attention.

"Hmm?" She sounded before her eyes went wide as they dilated in shock. "Ha ha, never gets old."

"I'd like to vouch in her statement, she's not lying for she was with me for a duration of about an hour I believe. I apologize if I kept her from you and it was not intentional, I assure you. We were merely having a conversation and got distracted." I clarified in Lyra's defense.

"And I passed out." Lyra added, which made the mare, 'Bon Bon' I think, very concerned.

"What?! How did you pass out?" Bon Bon bellowed.

"Um…did she touch your sword by mistake?" Shieldoath asked. I raised an eye brow at her question.

"Yeah, I believe so." I replied as Shieldoath nodded in understanding, leaving everypony else confused.

"What does that have to do with anything?" Bon Bon asked objectively.

"His sword, which is the 'Blade of Legends'…"

"Salvation." I corrected.

"Oh, you renamed it?" Shieldoath asked as I nodded.

"Cool. Anyways, Salvation has this thing that if in contact with a unicorn or anything with magic, it'll sap the energy. So she must have touched it and got magically exhausted." Shieldoath deduced. I don't know why but I found it really strange, and somehow frightening to see Oath so…calculative? Observant? I just can't find the right word to use to best describe it. But I suppose she is a Captain for a good reason despite her silly antics. Bon Bon recoiled in fright at the thought as she gave me an accusing glare.

"And you brought a weapon like that to a public establishment?!" I actually forgot that I went to Twilights and forgot to drop it off, but…

"Actually, that's why I wrapped it in the first place. So hopefully that incident won't happen again." I remarked in a civil tone, despite Bon Bon's tone. She only stayed with narrow eyes before she relaxed and took Lyra's hand as she pulled Lyra to her.

"Well, in all respect I would like to welcome you to our fair town, and please be careful. Come on Lyra, let's dance." She stated as she urged Lyra to the dance floor.

"But…But…But." Lyra sputtered while looking back at me.

"No 'buts' missy." Bon Bon finalized. They made their way to the dance floor as a DJ with short electric blue mane with a wild manestyle and shades was jamming out some cool tunes for all the party to get down to. I found it amusing to see the two mares dancing together, but I wonder what all that was about.

I felt something poking my sword behind me as I turned to find Pinkie poking away with a big silly grin…crazy mare.

"Yep, its okie dokie." She said. I literally face palmed as I mumbled.

"You're not a unicorn Pinkie." Her ears twitched as she realized the flaw in her 'check-up' then hopped to Oath.

"Oh Oathy?" She singed.

"Yes Pinkie?" Oath replied in the same tone.

"Can you touch Vincent's thingy?" I tried my best to suppress my laughter from what Pinkie just said.

"Sure." Oath responded as she poked Salvation, and to my relief, nothing happened. I have saved Ponyville from an accidental chain of freak streak incapacitation…I think I'm hanging around with Pinkie too much.

"If you'll excuse me everypony, enjoy the party Vincent." Swordsworn bids as he walks to the crowd and out of sight. I looked to Shieldoath in wonder.

"Hey Oath, is Sworn not a fan for parties?" I asked.

"You could say that, he finds it a waste of time. If it doesn't fall in his duties, it's not important. But even though he is a serious-minded pony, he means well and always does the right thing, and I love him for who he is." She replied with a genuine smile as she skip's away.

"Have fun Vincent." She waves while skipping away to where Swordsworn went. I waved back as I then heard a whistle. I turned to the source and saw a bright orange hand waving to me.

"Hey partna', over here." I hear AJ call out as Pinkie and I made our way to her. As she came into view as I approached, I saw Rainbow flying to us with two mugs in hand, and also Twilight, Fluttershy, and Rarity were accompanied with Applejack when we arrived. I had a big smile as I saw all my friends in one place, sharing this awesome moment with them, I knew this was gonna be one hell of a party.

"Hey girls. Glad to see you're all here. Did you all plan this out?" I asked merrily. They all nodded as Rainbow hovered while holding a mug out for me.

"Here dude, drink up." Rainbow offered. I looked at it curiously as I asked.

"What is it?" It had a nice froth on top with a golden brown liquid filled almost to the brim of the wooden mug. I smelled the mysterious concoction as it fizzed with a sweet apple aroma. Applejack giggled with that adorable laugh of hers as she answered.

"It's mah families fresh Hard Apple Cider. Freshly fermented and picked from our fines'." She stated with pride. I was super stoked at this point because Hard Apple Cider was always my go-to drink, sure it wasn't strong, but it did the trick to loosen me up and they tasted great.

I took a swig of the delicious brew, and it made my taste buds dance with joy as the deliverance tingled to the back of my throat, feeling the heating sensation travel up my body until it crash landed to my head, exploding like the Fourth of July. I stood there in a stunned stupor as the girls looked at me with anticipation and slight concern.

"Ya'll alright there sugarcube?" AJ asked sincerely. Rainbow waved her hand at my face to get my attention before turning to the girls and shrugging. My mind barely registered their calls and actions as I blinked before downing the golden delicious nectar in one go before I sighed in satisfaction.

"Best. Drink. EVER!" I chanted merrily as Twilight exhaled in relief as some of the girls were now giggling at the event that unfolded.

"Glad ya like it partna'. Are ya good fo' anotha' round?" AJ asked.

"Yes please." I beamed. Rainbow was smiling as she flew away and came back at a splitting record breaker. I reached for my drink and with it in hand I raised it up in a toast. The girls followed suit as we all had a mug in hand.

"To a new beginning and everlasting friendship. May the future hold more precious moments and exciting adventures for us all." I announced as we all clicked our mugs together as we chant in unison.

"Cheers!" And so we drink to that as a red stallion appeared on stage beside the blue-mane DJ mare of the party. He tapped on the microphone as it sounded off the speakers.

"Hey everypony, how're we feeling tonight?" He said in the mic, and being responded by the audience cheering.

"My name is Swiftriff and tonight we have a very special request for our new arrival, give it up for Vivi." He announced as he indicated my way. I was wide eyed with surprise as everypony faced me as they gave me a round of applause. I waved with a slight blush before I felt my mug taken from my hand and replaced by something else. I looked and saw a microphone in my grip as I began to put one and one together and was sweating bullets.

"Come on Vivi, let's start the show!" Pinkie urged as she pushed me towards the stage. I was reluctant, but we were up and standing in front of the audience now as they eagerly waited for the 'show' to begin. I looked to the red stallion named Swiftriff. He was a Pegasus with long coal black mane and tail, and gleaming hazel eyes, wearing a black jacket that had an exotic butler-like appeal, dark blue loose jeans with a burning musical note for a Cutie Mark on his pockets. He leaned forward so he could whisper something to me.

"So what are we hitting this off with Vivi?" I looked at him with a bewildered gaze as I corrected.

"My names not Vivi, it's Vincent." He blinked a couple times before he chuckled.

"My bad dude. So any songs you prefer, and don't worry about me playing it, I'm more then certain I could work it." He continued as I was getting a little shy at my impeding course of action on stage in front of everypony. Then I looked at him as a thought struck me.

"But hold up, we don't have a full band or anything." Then my heart sunk as I hear the thumping, pounding, and crashing sound of drums as I turned to face Pinkie, who was rocking a drum solo on a six-piece drum set. "Are you fucking kidding me?! She can jam on the drums?!" She only smiled as she said.

"Don't worry Vivi, I gotcha covered. Swift here plays guitar." I looked to him as he drew a black B.C. Riche Warlock with red tribal flames from a case and starts plugging himself in.

"Well wait, we still need a bassist." I reminded them in an attempt to get out of this.

"I could play the bass." "Fuck!" I hear Shieldoath as she skipped her way to the stage.

"Yay, now we have a full band." Pinkie cheered as I groaned in defeat. Swiftriff indicated to a bass as Shieldoath made her way to get set up, strapping on an Ibanez BtB four string bass with a polished red finish. I sighed as I placed my microphone on its stand before I looked to Swiftriff and decided to just go with it.

"Do you have another guitar by chance?"

"You play too?" He asked with excitement as I nodded in reply before he handed me another guitar. I looked at it and it was a Dean Baby MLR that had a sparkled grey finish with a sprayed black-border. I plugged myself in as I looked to everypony on stage.

"So what tuning are we in?" I asked.

"E flat standard." Swiftriff replied.

"Do you mind tuning to a dropped C sharp?" I requested.

"Sure, no problem." He stated as we tuned down and was now ready.

"Okay guys, let me start off then you guys follow along. I'll do rhythm while Swift covers with lead." I indicated as he gives me the thumbs up. I turned facing the crowd as I inhaled and approached the microphone standing in front of me.

"Hi everypony, my name is Vincent Valor and…well, I guess I'm gonna be singing for you all." I announced as the crowd boomed in a cheer. In the crowd, I saw Luna as she was beaming as our eyes met, immediately all worries I had just melted away, and with the boost of confidence I situated the guitar more comfortably as I resumed.

"This song goes out to a special friend. It's called 'Kiss from a Rose'." The crowd went quiet as I readied myself.

I started off by playing the intro as the crowd sway slowly to the sound. Swiftriff was getting into it as he let his guitar ring out before Pinkie and Shieldoath took us off as Swift got dynamic with a higher rendition of my intro. Then everything steadied up as I began to sing.

The crowd was roaring in applause as everypony was cheering while Swiftriff was cutting a sick lick. I noticed Rarity fainted in the crowd as Fluttershy caught her in time as Rainbow was head banging to the jam as the girls threw their hands in the air cheering us on.

Swiftriff took it away with an awesome solo as some of the mares began to clamber to the stage for him. I was brimming with adrenaline as I saw Luna getting down to the music, jumping in excitement with a glowing smile on her face as she flicked her head side to side to the music. I noticed Lyra jumping up shouting my name as I nod to her as she waved back while I was playing back up on the guitar. Rarity came to as Fluttershy helped her up as they were smiling by our performance. I took a deep breath as I relaxed before resuming with the song while still playing.

Swiftriff carried the music to the end before I joined as we both began to play in harmony, bringing about the end of our song as we let the last sound hold out to the audience as they were going crazy and applauding us, ending it as a jamming performance.

I looked around as all the band mates had a big smile plastered on all our faces as we faced the crowd and took a bow. I sat the guitar down on a stand, off to the side, after unplugging it as Swiftriff made his way over to me.

"Dude we totally rocked the house tonight. You got a killer voice, have you ever considered joining a band bro?" He asked ecstatically.

"I thought about it but wasn't to certain if I was cut out to be in one." I replied.

"I think you got it...and some. I saw the way you were getting down into the music. It was burning out of you and you were singing with feeling in it. You weren't just saying the words bro, you were delivering words that carried meaning with em', and I was feeling it." He complimented as I was beaming from his praise.

"You really think I got what it takes?" He only smiled as he turned to return to the stage but while still facing me he said.

"When you have some free time, hit me up at the music shop and we'll go from there. Hopefully we see each other again Vincent."

"You got it Swift." I stated as he turned and returned on stage as he got ready to jam with the dj. "He seems like a really cool dude." I made my way off the stage and approached my friends before they gathered around me.

"Darling I heard you were good, but apparently that was an understatement." Rarity complimented with gleaming eyes as her tail swished to and fro from joy.

"You liked it?" I asked sheepishly.

"Liked it? Like it? I love it! Your voice was simply divine." Rarity beamed.

"It was wonderful. You have a really sweet singing voice." Fluttershy complimented with a blush.

"Where did you learn to sing like that?" Twilight asked.

"I always sing whenever I'm alone to pass by time or to vent out. I guess after a few years of singing, it starts to develop." I said casually.

"So Vivi, are you gonna take up on Swifty's offer?" Pinkie asked with excitement, drawing curious expressions from the girls face's as Twilight asked me.

"What offer is she talking about?"

"Well, Swiftriff was wondering if I was interested in joining in a band." The girls seemed pretty happy for me as their faces lightened up with smiles as I continued, "I told him I'll think about it." Rainbow flew in front of my face with a look of disbelief as she argued.

"What's there to think about? You sound awesome, you can jam on the guitar and you guys sounded pretty sweet up there. Plus you were having a lot of fun. So, what's the problem?" I grew a more serious expression as I retorted.

"My issue is I have a lot of responsibilities I need to handle first off. I have to train myself for whatever the future may bring, try and find a place to live, be able to provide for myself, I mean am I gonna have the time to spend with my friends while handling these things while also being in a band?" I could feel myself getting a little heated as my mind was stressing to adjust and progress to make a living in this new world, and to hopefully find a way to save my home. I then felt a little down as the thought of my home came to mind. Yeah, I like it here, but I felt I didn't get a chance to say goodbye, leaving on a bad note and disregarding consideration that my home was in danger. This heavy feeling in my chest, I could feel it growing and starting to surface as it paints the pain that I endured on my face.

Then I was saved from its grasp as I felt that warm embodiment wrapping around me in a single hug. I looked to see Pinkie's caring blue eyes before it closed as she nuzzles into me, tightening her grip and making me feel secure and important. Then, one by one, the others joined in as we were now in a group hug. I hear Pinkie's voice as she spoke to me.

"Of course you'll have the time for us silly. Because we're here to help you."

"She's right Vincent, if you need a place to stay, you can always stay with me." Twilight inputted.

"And don't forget that ya'll be workin with me." Applejack reminded.

"You're never alone darling, because we will always be there for you." Rarity stated.

"Just like we know that you would do the same for us." Fluttershy added.

"Yeah, after all that's what friends are for, right." Rainbow encouraged.

"So come on Vivi, turn that little frown upside down and give us a nice, big smile." Pinkie comforted as I looked up and held them all tighter as best as I can reach. I was now glowing as the heavy feeling in my chest just shattered and melt away.

"How did I get so lucky to make such awesome friends like you girls?"

"Aaw." They all sounded in unison as we enjoyed our tender moment before releasing.

"I don't know about you girls but I can go for another round of drinks right now." They laughed as we resumed the party. We drink, we play, we danced the night away while Swift and the dj was putting on an awesome show until I was pulled away into the kitchen before I was given a deep and passionate kiss by Luna. I was surprised at first and then just held her close as we shared our kiss together. She opened her eyes as our lips parted, giving me a sweet smile before she spoke.

"We thank thee for thy beautiful song." I smiled as I caressed her cheeks.

"I did promise you I would sing especially for you." I softly reminded. Luna released the hug as she said.

"We apologize for leaving so soon, but we wanted to 'thank thee' in pony before we return to our castle. But we look forward to seeing you again." She coos as she turns and tickles my nose with her wing as I smiled and rubbed my nose from the tingling feeling as she giggled. She walked out the kitchen as she made her exit as some of the ponies were eyeing her with admiration and desire. I smiled and resumed enjoying my time at the party with my friends.

After a while, everypony decided to return home, leaving it just some of my friends, including Lyra, Bon Bon, Swiftriff, the dj, and myself. Swift was making his way out behind the blue mane mare with their equipments as he called out.

"I'll catch ya later Vincent, and don't have too much fun." He teased as he walked out. I was pretty buzzed and pretty tired as well from all the fun I had. I walked up to Pinkie as I asked.

"Hey Pinkie, do you mind if I crash here tonight?" She looked at me with a big smile as she replied.

"Absolutely, there's a spare room upstairs to the right if you wanna conk out." She said. I smiled as I thanked her, turned to say goodnight to the girls and made my way upstairs. I walked the hallway and noticed there were two doors to the right.

I looked between the two and shrugged my shoulders as I took the left door, stripped my sword and clothes off, not paying attention to my surrounding and throwing myself on a large pink bed. It was incredibly soft and had a familiar smell for some reason. I disregarded that though as I was getting comfortable before I heard the door close. "Didn't I close the door behind me?" I rolled on my back and was surprised to see Lyra as she was in my room with the door closed behind her. I didn't think much of it until I noticed that seductive gaze of hers and remembered I was in nothing but my boxers. "Oh shit" I mentally cursed.

Lyra stood at the front of the door as her golden eyes trailed its way up Vincent's body, taking in every detail of his half-naked form, as he lie in bed with a surprised look on his face. He gulped before he opened his mouth to speak.

"Lyra? W-what are you doing in here?" He asked nervously. Lyra was getting pretty excited, a bit nervous, but excited. All her life she wanted to be with a human, to be held and wanted by such a handsome creature that lay before her. Some may view it as a strange fantasy, but this was her strange fantasy, and tonight she is gonna live it to the fullest.

She walked towards the bed as her hips sway and her mint colored tail swished to the sides as she said charmingly.

"I figured you wanted some company." She cooed seductively as she climbs on the bed and crawls towards Vincent on her hands and knees. Vincent could clearly see her sexual desire. She wanted him from the beginning, and as the drinks were taking effect, he couldn't help but stare at her sexy display. Her half-lidded golden eyes, her round breasts snugged in her yellow vest, and her rump sticking up from behind her as her tail pokes out from under her cute white skirt, slowly wagging with a wanting desire.

He couldn't think straight because of his buzz and the little minx as she was starting to gain his attention, and arousal. She moved closer as her loins dragged across his raised leg. He could feel a wet spot from between her legs and it was really turning him on as she rubbed herself on his leg with soft moans escaping her mouth.

Hearing her moan and pants, he couldn't hold back anymore, and to her surprise he reached down with his right hand and rubs her slit with his thumb. She inhaled deeply as Vincent could feel her soaking through her panties as he was rubbing her slit. She reached down and grabbed his hand as she pulled it up to her face and inserts his thumb in her mouth, suckling the juice off. Vincent could feel her tongue rubbing around his appendage as he slowly pulls it out, grabs her behind her head and reels her in for a kiss. He could taste her bold, fruity juice as their tongues dance in battle of domination as Lyra moves closer, rubbing herself to where Vincent's erection was bulging and rubbing against her marehood with their undergarments in between.

They moaned in pleasure as they continued to rub against one another before Vincent let Lyra explore his mouth with her tongue, feeling every inch inside. Vincent takes hold of the bottom of her vest and lifts it up as they separate from their kiss. They then resumed making out with one another as Vincent sheds the buttoned-shirt open as it slowly drapes down her mint green shoulders while he kisses down her neck, feeling her small soft fur against his lips as she grips him tightly in her arms. She moans in pleasure as he kisses her neck, her shirt sliding off her slender form completely as she reaches back to undo her laced white bra.

After she unlatched her bra, she holds them against her chest, teasing Vincent as he decides to move up and kiss under her chin. Feeling his tentative lips filled her with sensation as her bra slips from her hold to reveal her small green breasts. Vincent cups one breast and massages it while flicking her small, perky, dark green nipple with his thumb as his lips fall upon the other, tenderly suckling her nipple. She arches her back as he sends waves of pleasure coursing through her from their foreplay.

"Oh yeah, suck my breast." She said in a sultry tone as she wrapped her arms behind his head to pull him closer as he was forced to almost devour one of her tits in his mouth. He didn't argue as he sucks around the areola, flicking her nipple with his tongue before releasing with a 'pop' sound.

As he was ready to continue, Lyra forced him to lie on his back as her hands rest on his chest before strongly pressing her lips to his. She guides one of her hands inside his boxers and grabs his massive pole as she strokes him off. He threw his head back from the pleasure of her sudden action as she trails kisses down his neck to his chest and licks his nipple.

"Haa, oh Lyra." He breathed in pleasure as Lyra continues to stroke him off.

"Do you like it when I jerk you off?" Lyra teases with a sultry tone.

"It feels good." He sighs in a deep tone.

"Mmm, that just won't cut it now will it?" She says as she lowers her kisses down from his chest to his boxers, bites the brims and tugs it down his legs as she removes them. She now had full view of his raging erection as it stands in attention as she licks her lips with hunger. She delicately grabs his member as she gently strokes it.

"You want me to suck your big cock, don't you Vincent?" She teases as Vincent was getting more excited and anxious. He only nods in reply as she gives him a smirk as she softly licks his member slowly from the base to the tip. He was expecting her to devour him after a few licks, but she only kept coating his tongue with her saliva from her licking.

"Stop being such a tease Lyra." He moans. She pulls her tongue back as she spoke.

"You want me to suck you off, then make me, or I could keep playing with you until I get tired of it." She teased with a wink. Vincent gains a devious smirk as he thinks to himself. "She wants me to make her, alright then…but she asked for it."

She was licking circles on the tip of his member before Vincent wraps both hands on her head around her ears and plunges her head down as he shoves his dick in her mouth. She was caught off guard and gags as his cock was hitting the back of her throat. She swallows the building saliva in her mouth before she finally got adjusted and was taking more of his length in. Her tight mouth gripped his cock as she sucked him in while feeling her rubbing her tongue under his member. She could feel the hot meat throbbing as she bobs her head faster, pushing him to release his seed in her mouth. He felt his impending release and shoves her head balls deep as he shoots ropes of cum down her throat.

She swallowed as much as she could as she nearly gags and chokes from his deliverance. He loosens his grip as Lyra pulls up with the tip still in her mouth as she continued to suck him off to the last drop. Tasting his warm and slightly salty cum on her tongue, she pulls her head back as she opens her mouth to show him his seed before she gulps the content down her throat, and opens once more to reveal a clean maw.

"What the hay is this?!" Vincent's eyes shot open as he hears Pinkies voice and looks up to see her standing at the doorway.

"Pinkie, please wait, I can explain." He said frantically. Lyra looked between Pinkie and Vincent in worry as Pinkie walked towards them.

"You made three mistakes buster. One: You decided to have an after-party in MY room." "This is PINKIES room?! Shit, I'm fucked" Vincent mentally cursed.

"Two: You decided to invite my buddy, Lyra…" "Crap, she's gonna kill me." "And not invite me."

"…"

"Wait…say what now?" Vincent looks at her with shock as she hops on the bed and was now hanging over his body as she gave him a devious smirk.

"And three…" She reaches under a pillow and grabs a skinny can as she continues, "you forgot to use the whipped cream." "Ho…ly…Shit. I think I AM gonna get fucked." Vincent thought as Pinkie was now sitting over his cock as she smiled while she felt his member rubbing against her shorts.

"Mmm, looks like your party cannon is ready for another round." She said in a sultry tone before she lifts her shirt off her voluptuous body to show her cute curves with no bra on as her jugs jiggled from their release. He laid there in shock as his eyes were hypnotized by Pinkie's enticing, curved, pink body as her large breasts bounced even by the slightest movement. His cock was now twitching with excitement and begging to plow her incredibly plushy mound.

Pinkie grabs one breast as the other shakes the can of cream while she fondled with her big tit.

"I saw the way you've been looking at me with that cute blush when I hugged you, or when you carried me, your hands would tremble when you were feeling on my legs." She said before she sprayed some cream on her index finger. She leans on top of Vincent as her breasts smashed against his bare chest, feeling her fur tingling his skin with her warmth heating him up as her perky pink nipples rubbed against his nipples.

She extends her cream-coated finger to him as he slowly opens his mouth to accept her treat. Gently sliding her finger in as he tasted the sweet cream hit his tongue as he sucked her finger and licked all around it.

"I think it's time I gave you you're 'Welcoming present'." She hummed as she pulled her now clean finger out as she pressed her lips into his as he began exchanging the cream into her mouth. Their tongues lashed against one another, exchanging saliva and cream as his hands reached up and groped her soft round flank, squeezing them as his fingers massaged them in a circular rotation while she moans in his mouth from delight.

"Mmm…" Pinkie hums before parting their lips as she spoke.

"You naughty, naughty colt, are you hungry Vivi?" Vincent looks at her with a blissful smile as he replies.

"This naughty colt wants more of Pinkie's sweet present." She giggles as she stands up to remove her shorts, revealing a blue thong wrapped tightly around her, and turns around as she lowers her lower half to Vincent's face. He could smell her sweet aroma emitting from her light blue thong as she press herself on his face. He grabs her cheeks as he flicks the concealed slit of her thong as she sighs in pleasure.

Pinkie looks to Lyra as she sees her fingering herself on the floor as Pinkie called for her attention.

"Oh Lyra.~" She sings as she waves her finger, beckoning Lyra as the minty mare stands and approaches her.

"You want to share this treat with me?" Pinkie asked as Lyra nodded and kneels in front of Pinkie with Vincent's cock bulging between them

"Wowsa, it really is huge!" Pinkie commented as she shakes the can and sprays whipped cream all over his cock, tossing the can aside as the girls began to lick around his member. The sensation Vincent was feeling jolt his body as the two girls were licking the cream off his cock and suckling the sides of his dick. He grabs the string of Pinkies thong and pulls it down as he was presented with her wet pink marehood. He gave her some licks as she sounded in approval before he insert a digit into her pussy, earning a gasp from her as he begins fingering her while now sucking her clit. The girls were kissing one another, exchanging saliva and cream, while servicing his member before Pinkie took his length in her muzzle, making him moan vibration in her pussy as Pinkie was inhaling him in her mouth. Lyra was licking his balls as she gently sucked one in her mouth and repeated her treatment while groping him.

Pinkie pressed herself in Vincent's face as she sent vibrations on his cock as Vincent was now sucking her opening while tongue-fucking her, tasting her sugary sweet nectar before she sprayed more of her juice in his mouth. He was sent to the edge as he was ready to explode. Pinkie felt this as his cock was throbbing and deep throated him as he shot ropes of cum in her throat as she gulped each one down, not wasting a single drop until he simmered down as her mouth was full of his milk.

She guides Lyra up from her chin as she pressed their lips together, sharing his juice in each other's mouth as they kissed each other. They separated with a string of his cum connected to their lips before it broke as they swallowed their threat.

"Mmm, you're so juicy." Pinkie sighs.

"And delicious." Lyra added. Vincent sits up with a smile as he looks to the girls.

"So…which one of you lucky mares wants the first ride?" He asked confidently.

"Wait…aren't you tired?" Lyra asked with a surprised look as she saw his member still up and raring to go.

"Looks like his fun stick still has some treats for us." Pinkie giggles before she got an idea.

~Ding~

"Wait…did I actually hear a light go off?" Vincent wondered. Pinkie leans to Lyra and whispers something to her as Lyra's face glows with excitement as she nods and makes her way to a dresser off to the side. Pinkie gets up, taps Vincent's leg as he understood and scoots over. Pinkie lies on her back as her legs hung off the sides. She looks at Vincent and giggles.

"What are you waiting for silly? Let's go for a ride." She said excitedly. Vincent smirks as he stands up and gets on his knees between Pinkies legs, drawing confusion from her.

"Gonna need a snack for the ride." He teased as she lifts her legs to her sides revealing her wet folds. Her tail swished from excitement as Vincent blows air to her snatch as she shivers.

"Oh don't tease me Vivi." She begs as he licks her folds, tasting her sweet juice once more while getting her nice and wet. Meanwhile, Lyra now stood in front of Pinkie with a purple strap-on as the appendage hangs above her face.

"Get it nice and wet party mare." Lyra demands with a smirk. Pinkie licks her lips as she opens her mouth to take the tip in while sucking with a slurping sound.

Vincent figured that was enough as he stands and readies his cock to her entrance as he press forward. Once his head was inserted, he grabs Pinkie by the hips and thrust forward as Pinkie gives a muffled 'eep'. He pounds into her with a steady pace before Pinkie pulls the dildo out of her mouth.

"Come on Vivi, pound me harder and make me scream." Pinkie demanded, which really turned him on as he slammed his hips into her, burying his cock to the hilt as he starts thrusting into her faster and harder than before as his hips were slapping against her plush ass. Lyra then followed suit as she slammed her hips into Pinkies face, as she was fucking her mouth pussy.

Pinkie was near climax as she was morning like crazy before she started rubbing her clit. Then she released a muffled scream as Vincent felt Pinkie coat his cock with her juice. He pulls out as Pinkie was lolling her tongue with heavy pants. Vincent then flips Pinkie on her stomach as he beckons Lyra to him. Lyra obeys as she stood in front of him before he kisses her. She sighs in content as she melts from his affection before they released when he says.

"Now it's your turn."

"Aww, what about me?" Pinkie whined on her tummy. Vincent smiles as he looks to Lyra.

"Oh, we're not done with you yet. Lyra?"

"Yes Vincent?" Lyra coos.

"I want you to give the mare what she wants…and plow that nice, sweet flank of hers." Vincent commanded in a deep tone. Lyra blushed as she lined the strap-on to her entrance and thrust it inside her as she began bucking her doggystyle. Pinkie arched her back as she begins slamming herself against Lyra as Vincent walks behind Lyra and shoves his dick into her marehood. She gasped upon his invasion and they began to train fuck each other. Vincent grabs Lyra's perky breasts as he massages them and softly bites her ear as she was now screaming his name.

"Oh Vincent, you sexy beast. AAAH…your dick feels so good inside me. More, GIVE ME MORE!" Lyra begged as he started pounding into her like a jackhammer. She was being fucked silly as she draped herself on Pinkie for support while Pinkie was slamming into her.

"Oh Lyra. I'm almost there!" Pinkie screamed.

"Me too!" Lyra yelled. Vincent was doing his best to hold himself from not exploding inside Lyra as the two girls scream in pleasure as they hit another orgasm. Vincent slowly pulls out before Lyra lays on the bed beside Pinkie as Vincent was heaving, wanting to be able to release as he strokes himself. The girls noticed this as they slide off the bed and began taking a side as they sucked his member. He couldn't hold it any longer as he told them.

"I'm…I'm gonna cum!" They both grabbed his cock as they huddled close together with mouths open and tongues out as they stroked him together. He groans as he released another load as it spurts on their faces and their mouths, decorating them in white until he was spent. The mares began licking each other off until they were 'clean' and swallowed their treat.

They all climbed into bed as they were tired and satisfied with all tonight had to offer them.

"Hey, you guys don't mind if I sleep here tonight, right?" Lyra asked. Pinkie giggled as she replied.

"Of course not, silly. You're more than welcomed." She said as she threw open her blankets.

"Just take off the strap-on, I don't want to be stabbed by that thing." Vincent joked as the girls giggled. Lyra took off the strap-on and we all got into bed. Vincent slept in the middle as the girls snuggled against him on his sides. They had their arms wrapped around one another as they wished each other goodnight as their drift into slumber.
