Sun raised an eyebrow, looking at Prince Rutherford before looking back at me. “What offer? The one you said about that itch?”

I stepped up to him again, circling him once and giving his arm a light squeeze.“Oh yes. You, me, and Glimmer. My bedroom. All day long~.”

Sweat began to roll down his neck. “Seriously? All that for a massage?” Clearly, he wasn’t understanding my lingo… Or in my book, foreplay.

“Ugh, seriously? Is your entire family nothing but virgins?”

“Oh…… that… Well, I really haven’t actually tried dating. It’s just too early heartbreak since I saw a few of my friends couldn’t keep up a long distance relationship. Still, I think I can get used to trying something new.” He said as he hopped back up on his feet. “Wouldn’t the kids hear us though?”

“No, my rooms are soundproofed and I have a book on a silencing spell.”

“Well, at least you can’t be too prepared.” Sun said. “I might need the chance to clean myself up though. I’ve been thrown around a lot after having to fight against Grimm for the past couple of days.”

I giggled. “We can help you wash if you want.”

“You can do that if you want, I’d rather not wash anypony,” Glimmer said. “Thorn had to wash the queen once and it was not pretty.”

“Well…… I’d rather not keep a lady waiting… Would you care to lead the way, Glimmer?” The Faunus asked, looking at me like if he was asking for approval.

Glimmer nodded and led the way through the halls to my rooms. “Here we are.”

“Wow… This place looks quite nice. I really do see why Lance liked being with you. The room is beautiful. Just as beautiful as the two of you.” He complimented us, proceeding to slip off his shirt. “Alright now… How do we start?”

Glimmer lit her horn and tossed him onto the bed, teleporting on top of him once he landed.

“Well, that was quick…” He replied. “I guess you start first?”

“Max gave me a taste seven months ago and I’ve been fighting to survive in the Everfree. I want somepony to fuck me,” Glimmer said, diving in for a deep kiss. Sun returned the favor and the kiss, going easy so Glimmer could enjoy herself. She looked like she needed it if she was starving for so long. Watching, Glimmer soon used her magic to undo the buckle on his belt and slide off his pants and undergarments, letting her lovers staff spring forth to the ten to eleven inches that it was at full mast.

“Oh, starting without me,” I giggled slipping up beside the two, my regalia laying on the floor near the door.

“Glimmer was hungry… Plus, aren’t you pregnant?” Sun asked, remembering the invitation from Lance and the details from it. But that thought was soon cut off as a wave of pleasure soon rolled over him. He looked down, seeing that Glimmer… was already getting to work with him at full mast.

“I am, yes, but I do have other places....” I gave the faunus’ phallus a flick.

“Oh… What a naughty little one you are…” Sun smirked. “Well, I have been told that I’m a good multitasker…” Something new began to tickle me. Looking down, I saw something that surprised me. The Faunus’ tail. “Would that work for you?”

“Oh, I think that would be very fun~.” I lit a finger and the tip of his tail was enveloped in a golden glow. I maneuvered the tail between my legs, kissing him deeply and moving one of his hands to her chest. She hummed in appreciation as he immediately got the idea and deepened the kiss, entwining his tongue with hers as his tail began to get slick with her juices.

Sun felt the amount of pleasure rolling through him and it felt like he was in heaven. With Max grinding against his tail and Glimmer sucking him off, he was now starting to see why Lance was so lucky to marry her. Soon though, he noticed Glimmer choking on his mast a little as he jerked at feeling her fangs. “W-watch the teeth… please?”

“S-sorry…” Glimmer spoke again, “It’s been a long time since I’ve last done this.”

“Hmm…”

I giggled and said, “Last time was when I first met her. She wasn’t exactly a virgin, but she was lacking in giving head experience.” I joined Glimmer, kissing the mare as we both wrapped our tongues around Sun’s dick and peppered it with attention. The Faunus laid back and relaxed… until the pleasure from both of them made his Pride began to twitch. Without warning, his pride let loose a torrent of cum on both me and Glimmer as our faces were covered in lust and his love.

“Well, maybe that did the trick…” he replied. “Max? I feel like I have enough strength to go an extra round with each of you. Who do you think should go first?”

“Silly monkey,” Glimmer interjected as Sun got up from his previous position. “Unlike Max, who is just here to be part of the show, I need this. Getting you warmed up was only an appetizer. Now… I’m ready for the main course.” The mare wiggled her flank at the faunus, flipping her tail onto her back. Seeing this though had Sun think of another question.

“Okay, but are you sure you want to do this? I don’t want to get you pregnant-.”

“Don't you worry, I have that handled.” Glimmer gave Sun a seductive wink over her withers, her entrance doing likewise. “So please, feel free to go bananas.”

Sun smirked. “Well, I do like someone who says please.” The faunus grinned as he loomed over Glimmer while the three of them repositioned themselves on the bed as the Monkey Faunus and the changeling prepared for the main event. I myself slid under the changeling, intent on helping them as Sun prepared to enter the mare above me, teasing me with his tail again. Glimmer gasped in the pleasure of the initial entrance, but soon, the Faunus got to work, using his body and stamina to make love to the mare as he moved in and out of her. Things started off slowly to begin with, but Glimmer then moaned for more. Sun, being the gentleman that he was, did not keep her waiting as he quickened his tempo. A few moments later, he was jack-hammering his lover, his Pride moving in and out of her a few times every second.

However, like all good things, they soon were coming to an end as Sun and Glimmer reached their peak almost simultaneously.

“I-I’m cumming!!”

The Faunus firmly gripped the mare, thrusting deep into her womb as he shot his seed into her. Glimmer herself cried out, releasing her liquid love as they fell back onto the bed.

“W-wow… T-that was… amazing…”

“Well, I had to try my best.” Sun replied, pulling himself out of her slowly. Another moan of pleasure escaping Glimmer as he did. “I still need to help Max-” The moment he said that, I yanked Glimmer off of the bed playfully and tackled Sun to where his back was on the bed. “-Who apparently isn’t a fan of waiting patiently.”

“Your tail kept teasing me while you fucked her,” I said. “It kept me on the edge for longer than I ever have been.” I gave him a rough, passion filled kiss and used my magic to coat myself with my juices.

Glimmer, noticing where I was wanting him, flashed green and turned me towards her. “How about a double header?” She asked, with her additional member clearly visible and fully erect.

Sun raised an eyebrow, now looking at them. “If we’re doing that, then who is positioned where?”

“You are going to use my ass, and Glimmer’s going in the front,” I said as I moved my hips over Sun’s. The Faunus wrapped his tail around me, using it to pull me down as he made first contact and pierced the veil. “Stop with the teasing. I had Gilgamesh back there and if he didn’t break me, you won’t.” I shoved myself down, laying back on the man trapped beneath me as Glimmer slid between our legs. It took a moment for Sun to prepare himself, but soon, he was ravaging my insides as the mare above me entered my love tunnel.

Almost as soon as Glimmer hilted me, I came, screaming in pleasure while Sun continued to assault my keep and the mare above me didn’t slow down either, letting me ride on my pleasure.

“Lance....” I moaned. “H-harder!”

Sun slowed for a moment, just enough to keep me from cumming a second time. “Um… Max?”

“Huh? Why’d you stop?”

“You called me Lance.” He pointed out to me.

“We have to stop right in the middle to talk about this?”

“I stopped, but I don’t think Glimmer has…” He pointed out, just as she began to thrust into me harder, her member growing slightly bigger inside me.

I twisted to look Sun in the eye. “Can we continue this later? Preferably after breakfast.”

“Don’t worry about it. I just thought you should know…” Seconds later, Sun went back to thrashing me as Glimmer’s movements were getting erratic. She was close to the brink.

“I-I’m cumming!”

I lit my hand and pulled Glimmer out, spraying myself with the halfling’s seed. A few moments later Sun came as well. All three of us collapsed on top of one another as we laid down to the side of the bed. I was drifting off when I felt Sun slip out from under me and pulled him back with my magic.

“No. Bad monkey, you don’t get to do that,” I mumbled, pulling him between me and Glimmer.

When I awoke the next dusk, I heard the shower running in the bathroom and extricated myself from Sun’s arms to investigate. What I saw was Glimmer just getting in, now back in her original disguise.

“Good morning, Grandmother. I hope you don’t mind me using this shower. Sol said I could.”

“Please, Glimmer, you’ve slept with me twice now. I think you can just call me Max,” I said, climbing in with her.

Glimmer sighed. “I know, but it still feels… wrong? I mean, everypony else calls you that. Feels a bit wrong for me not to…”

“That’s because you haven’t been around the castle a lot. Only the most stringent stick-in-the- mud ponies call me that around here. Unless it’s in court.”

“Well, I guess I could get used to calling you Max while we’re not in public. Could you hoof me the conditioner?”

“Sure, just hand me that sponge over there.”

Glimmer looked at the sponge for a while. “I was wondering about that. I’ve never seen anyone make a sponge like that.” Glimmer said as she levitated the sponge over.

“It was Luna’s before I was turned to stone. I kinda stole it a thousand years ago.”

Glimmer looked at me for a while before sighing. “I don’t even know if you’re joking or not. I’ll just take your word for it.”

“I’m not. I didn’t even know it was hers until she told me the dusk after she and I spent a day together... almost a year ago now.” I squeezed some of my white bodywash onto the sponge and lathered it up. Stopping when I noticed Glimmer was just staring at me in disbelief. “What?”

“I just thought of another rumor I heard. Some state that you’re a succubus. Just wondering if you could either confirm or shut down the rumors once and for all is all.”

“You know, I asked myself that as well. It would explain my powers partially, but I have never noticed....” I trailed off, thinking of the times I went off. “I.... Actually, I don’t know if I am or not. I mean, I have gone off in a rage a few times, but I just put that off as being part of Celestia’s magic settling or my hormones messing up.”

“Well, I guess we won’t be dispelling any of those rumors anytime soon. Oh well, I’m pretty much done in here. You finish up here so that we can then wake Sun up.”

“Let’s let him rest, have a bit of a girl’s day since Rarity is going to come,” I said, turning off the water.

“Don’t you mean a Girl’s night out?”

“Yeah, I’m still not used to switching night and day for everything.” I looked over near the door to my rooms, but didn’t see my regalia. “Hey, did Sol move my clothes from where I left them? Oh wait, tonight’s when I usually get my regalia cleaned. I’ll just wear something else for now, then.” I walked over to my closet and opened it, looking through the various... outfits for something appropriate to wear.

“Wow, you really have a lot of different outfits to wear. How many are there?”

“Most of these are for roleplaying or...” I pulled out my dominatrix outfit. “Well, the others are pretty self explanatory. I do have some clothes for lounging around the castle and a few dresses, but....” I sighed and tossed the clothes back into the closet. “I think I need to calm my libido down a bit and get some actual clothes.”

“Personally I don’t care much for clothes. I only have some for cold weather or when I’m on a job. I prefer the freedom, not having to restrict my wings.” Glimmer explained.

I turned to face her, gesturing to my body. “You don’t have everything on display like I do. Personally, I like walking around with nothing on, but... I should start thinking of how my foals see me and what they infer is acceptable from my actions.”

“Probably, kids see, kids do. Or something like that. Basic psychology is taught to all Changelings, no matter designation. They’ll probably grow up to be like you or Lance.” Glimmer said, discarding the towel she had used to dry her mane.

I turned back to my closet and rummaged through it again, looking for my most modest outfit. “I’d like them to grow up like Lance, but they’ll probably spend most of their time with me. Dammit! Now I can’t find that blue dress Rarity made for me for my coronation.”

“Could any of the maids know where it is perhaps? You might have asked them to do something with it and not remember, I believe that happened a few times already, like the time you asked for a lot of coal.”

“No, I had the dress washed and pressed after I took it off and left instructions for it to be placed near the very ba-” I stopped as I felt the shelf in front of me move under my hand. “I’ve been using this closet wrong, haven’t I?”

I pushed a little harder and watched what I believed was my small closet roll back silently to reveal rows of hangers and shoes on each side of a walkway large enough for a fully grown alicorn to turn around on. “Well, at least I’ll never run out of clothes now,” I quipped as I walked into the enlarged closet.

“That, is a lot of clothes… I don’t think you’d ever be able to wear every outfit in here within a year. Unless you wear more than one a day that is…” Glimme said walking in behind me to get a better look of the inside.

Just then, the ‘secret’ door bumped against the far wall, revealing a flash of blue on the right side. “And there’s the dress,” I sighed, shaking my head. “We could spend days in here looking through all this, I’m just going to go get that one.”

“You wouldn’t mind the paper writing about this, right? It might not be the juiciest of gossip, but this could still fill some space in a newspaper.” Glimmer asked me.

“Sure, I’m not going to censor the press. In fact, I’m going to give you permission to come visit whenever you would like.” I picked up the dress from its hanger. “Think of it like a permanent press pass while you work for... what was it again? The Applewood Bugel?”

Glimmer giggled at that. “It’s The Applewood Inquirer, actually. And if you do give me a pass like that, I’ll most likely be sent over a lot for private interviews and such. I’ll be asked to scratch this castle for every speck of dirt and rumor I can. And to be honest, I’m not really looking for such a career. So I’d rather keep it away from my job. But I do appreciate the offer.”

“Well, I could see that being the case. But what would be worth doing that? The fact that there’s a mirror to a different universe in my bathroom that opens only once every two and a half years?”

“Wait, wait, wait! I’m not going to question the mirror, but why have it in the bathroom? I can see that turn really awkward real fast.”

“And miss the opportunity to mess with anyone that walks past in the other universe? Never. I can’t resist messing with anyone from outside this universe.”

Glimmer Thorn wore a small smirk as she slowly shook her head. “Only you Max, only you.”

I pulled out a few pairs of shoes, trying to decide which I should wear. “Actually, I knew a few people from my home universe that did something like that for a living.”

“You’re kidding…” Glimmer said as she inspected me for any signs of a joke before closing her eyes and taking a deep breath. “You’re not kidding. You… what was it, Humans? You’re weird.”

“Their jobs are equivalent of those... wearers I think they’re called? But instead of putting clothes on for money, they take them off.” I turned to Glimmer holding two pairs of shoes. “Which do you think goes better with the dress?”

“You’re asking me? Sorry, but I don’t really see colors like you do. Changelings have natural color filters and so do I. Like, I see red, green and blue in strong contrast to everything else. Colors like gray and white are the same for me and I apparently can’t see the color yellow. Besides, I have zero fashion sense…”

“Huh, I was wondering why you almost stepped on that banana peel on the way here last day. Ah well, guess I’ll just go with the shoes Rarity gave me with the dress.” I set one pair down and started for the door out. “Anyways, the mirror isn’t the only way a pony can get to another universe in the castle.”

“I’m almost afraid to ask, but for the sake of not accidentally walking into another reality I have to ask what they are… And if they too are located in the bathroom…”

“Nope, one’s located under the throne, another I stumbled into when I was leaning against the plain window in the Hall of Heroes, and the fourth one is a tiny tear I made so I could make my coffee. It’s... kinda unstable to try to make that energy in the universe you’re using it in.”

“Yeah, I heard from one of the other maids. Think there was a minor article about that a month or so back, Death Coffee or something I believe they wrote.”

“I like that better than what I called it. It has too much caffeine for anyone to handle more than a shot and if you actually try to drink a full cup, you’ll probably die from an overdose.” I shuddered as I remembered the only time someone tried to. “I even had to smash a cup to keep Silver from accidentally killing himself. I wasn’t fast enough the first time, but I’m thankful that I was able to rewind and save him.”

“Caffeine overdose? That does not sound pleasant… But it’s a good thing you were kind enough to rewind. I don’t think I’d be able to keep calm enough to remember I could do that. Heavens know how many times I’ve forgotten I can fly.”

“I’ve had a thousand years to get used to the fact that I can rewind time. The fact that I was awake while I was in stone is why I thought to release Discord. He hasn’t been a bother, has he?” I asked as I stepped into the dress.

“Actually, he hasn’t been seen around Canterlot that often. I think I’ve seen him around Ponyville though.”

“Ah, I guess I’ll have to ask Rarity when she gets here then. Can you help me zip this up? It’s always hard to get it when you can’t see what you’re doing.”

Glimmer obeyed, using her magic to help me out she quickly zipped it up with great precision.

“Thanks. So, how about we go get some breakfast?”

“That sound lovely.”

“Shh! We don’t want to wake him,” I whispered to Glimmer who snickered soundlessly. The both of us were holding a bucket of ice water over the sleeping Faunus. “Okay, give the countdown.”

Glimmer nodded before lifting her bucket closer to Sun with her magic. “three… two… one… Go!”

The buckets tipped and spilled their contents over Sun, causing the both of us to laugh at his reaction “You slept through midnight,” I explained when my laughter subsided. “It’s almost time for dinner, so I thought you’d like to wash up.”

“And just when I thought I needed the rest.” The Faunus groaned. He looked down to realize that he was in a new set of clothes, but without a shirt. “Where are the clothes I had on me?”

“I told Rarity that you were going to be the best man and she decided to start making you a suit just after breakfast. She said you did stir a bit, but you didn’t wake up at all.”

“And she decided to put the pants on me while I was asleep? Talk about an invasion of privacy.” Sun then hopped onto his tail like he was Tigger from Winnie the Pooh before going back onto his feet. “Do I at least get to choose what I want to wear for me, shirt wise?”

“Once I learned about this, I told her she was to work on the dresses only. Lance’s Rarity will work on the suits, so you’ll have to ask her if you can just wear your normal outfit.”

“Okay, where is she-?”

“-Right through here,” Rarity said, leading another mare that looked exactly like her into the room. “Oh, you’re awake. I am dreadfully sorry about invading your privacy earlier.”

“It’s alright. You’re forgiven.” He replied. “Oh… Hello there.”

“Yeah, I can’t tell them apart either,” Glimmer said.

“Then let me fix that, darling.” The second Rarity replied, putting on a specialty headband with a clear sapphire gem that was just near her right ear. “There we go. I’m Rarity or as I am known as back home, Radiance.”

“I can see why.” Sun chuckled. “So you know Lance?”

“Indeed. He is quite lucky to be with Madame Maxine and I am quite lucky to be helping out with the planning of this event. Now, what ideas did you have in mind for the top half of your clothes?”

“I was thinking something casual. I am NOT a fan of heavy tuxedo’s.”

“Why don’t we ladies let him get ready and wait in the dining room?” Max suggested.

“That’s a great idea.” Max’s Rarity replied. But before they left, Sun had one last question for Max.

“Hey… uh… where are my weapons? If I may ask?”

“In the banana tree out in the gardens,” Max sighed. “I might be Sol and Mun’s commander, but I rarely give them orders.”

“Well, they have a poor sense of humor if they think that’s funny. Surprisingly, they didn’t take my tokens.”

“They know not to mess with those now. Had to help fight off the worst thing they could ever have messed with.” Max pulled out what looked like a long barreled desert eagle with an inscription on the side that read: Hellsing 454 casull auto.

“That’s-”

“One of Alucard’s guns, yes.” Max put it away and continued, “That one though, has become unstable and tries to kill as many as he can before finally killing the one who summoned him. It’s a good thing you have to be holding the token in order to summon someone. A word of caution; if you ever find that token, don’t say ‘b*tches love cannons’ with it in your hand.”

“Noted.” Sun replied. “Speaking of Tokens, have mine.” He then flipped a coin over to Max that had a monkey insignia on it as she caught it with a spare hand.

She rubbed the back of her head sheepishly. “Already had it. Thought it would be weird if I summoned you since I- dammit!”

“I tried summoning you, remember?”

Max stared at him for a moment then glanced around. “Uh, yeah. Let’s go with the thought train of summons. So how many times have you met different Displaced?”

“Hmm… Lets see… There was Neltharion, or as he preferred to call himself Deathwing-.”

“Is he giant like in the game?”

“Yes, but he has a human form and I believe an Alicorn form as well. Speaking of Alicorns, that brings me to the second Displaced I met. Queen Lauren…… I think the last name was Faust?”

“Waitwaitwait. There’s a universe where Lauren Faust -- Lauren F*cking Faust -- is Queen of Equestria?!”

“Well, she is known as the mother of Celestia and Luna, not to mention the adopted mother of Discord. I don’t know all the details.” Sun shrugged. “All I do remember though is Deathwing and I having to fight a LOT of Grimm in a pocket dimension. Including a Behemoth.”

Max leaned in and whispered, “Lauren is also the one who remade My Little Pony and made to where anyone could like it.”

“That might explain a lot… Moving on, the next Displaced I met was personally one of the ones I hated the most. He basically demolished all of his Equestria, threw the princesses and the elements into what he called “The Nether” and had all other ponies be lambs to the slaughter.”

“Let me guess, he was Steve from Minecraft?”

Sun shook his head. “Worse…… Herobrine. He even could summon monsters and have them do his bidding.”

“Eh, Steve is worse in my book. I watched a lot of let’s plays where people killed every villager they came across.”

“Yeah, but Herobrine is seen as a God.” Sun told her. “Never mess with him… Moving along, I met Lance and Nicko, but that was when Lance had to run because of something that came up. Nicko was also pretty interesting as well. He knew Rune Magic and his companion was the daughter of Discord, Eris. That was also where I met the Displaced Draconequus, Loki.”

“That might be when I gave him the news. I’d just found out I was two months pregnant and kinda freaking out about it.”

“I would’ve done the same thing if I was in your position.” Sun told her, leaning back in a chair. “Lastly, for Displaced, there was Vinyl, Ammy and Chibi, and now… you. So that’s the people I met.”

“Someone got Displaced as an actual pony?”

Sun shook her head as he took out the Ipod that was her token. “Nah, she’s a human version of that pony. I keep on forgetting to call her Rhythm in order to not get confused. Speaking of her, I was actually going to bring her as a guest for the wedding if that’s okay?”

“Having a pony version and a human version of her?” Max smiled. “Have to have a DJ battle. It just has to happen. I’ll ask her if she’d like the gig if I meet her.”

“Right… Oh and if I remember correctly… I think Eris left me an extra one of Nicko’s tokens for in case I lost it. Since I don’t really see the purpose in having two, you can keep the other one.” Sun then tossed the Rune Slayer’s mark, which Max caught again. “Oh crap, I forgot. Weren’t you and the girls going to the dining room?”

“Oh yeah. Ask Mun if he can give your tokens a magnetic field so they attract each other. It’s kinda like how the microbots in Big Hero 6 moved around, but it’s controlled by a simple AI.” Max said, waving the mares along. “It’ll make sure you don’t lose them.”

“Okay, where are Sol and Mun?”

“Find one of the hulls- sorry, an Abrams and ask for Mun, he’ll find you eventually.”

“Something tells me that they’ll come to me the moment I get Ruyi Bang and Jingu Bang out of the tree they put them in.” The Faunus retorted, now looking at Rarity. “Sorry for making you wait, Rarity. Now, how should we begin?”

“I was thinking that we could see what your normal look is like,” Rarity said, the door closing shortly after.

“Okay, so. What’ll everyone be having?” I asked once we found a dining room.

“Do you have any fruit bats in stock, by any chance?” Rarity asked.

“You happen to have any parasprites? I’ve always wanted to try them out with some chocolate.”

I snickered to myself at Rarity’s request, but replied, “I think we have some fruit bats, but we don’t ha-” I was interrupted by a pink fuzzball landing on my nose with its four stubby legs. “Uh....”

“No need to thank me,” A familiar voice said from the rafters. “The ones from Ponyville had to go somewhere.”

“That little crisis happened before I got out, Murphy. Where did you keep them, anyways?”

“Well, Lawrence owed me a favor, so I called it in on a hunch and had him put them in the pocket dimension where bits go when you lose them in the couch.”

“Um… I don’t think Twilight ever restored those parasprites to normal, how did you keep them from eating all the bits?”

Murphy opened his mouth to reply but stopped, his eyes widening in shock. “Oh dear.”

I chuckled and said, “Hindsight’s a bitch, ain’t it?”

“Um.... I-I think I need to go kill a few million, then.”

“Murphy, before you go, may I ask something else?”

He turned to Glimmer, paying attention for now.

“Well, sometimes ponies manage to find things they lost… but if they were about to find a lost bit when cleaning the couch, what would happen now that there are no bits left in that dimension?”

“Do you know how many have been lost over the five thousand years couches have been around? More than even the grains of sand on a beach. But you do bring up a good point, wouldn’t want someone pulling a parasprite out.” Murphy then sped off out one of the windows.

“You do know the windows open, don’t you?” I yelled after him.

“Ain’t nopony got time for that!” Said, Glimmer and began giggling. “Sorry, there’s just this gag that news ponies use from an interview some time ago.” She explained.

“It’s true across the multiverse I guess,” I sighed. “At least we can keep a stock of parasprites now in case you decide to visit again.”

“I think you might want to have Twilight reverse her spell first, though,” Rarity said.

“Yeah, that would be the best way to do it.”

“So… you’re not going to eat that?” Glimmer asked, pointing a hoof at the parasprite.

“You don’t want to feed it and let it multiply so you can have more?”

“There are plenty in the everfree, but you have a point. I wouldn’t be satisfied with just one, you have anything to feed it?”

“I have some waste leftover from an experiment down in the dungeon,” I offered. “It’s a bit... magically active, but it shouldn’t affect you.”

Suddenly Glimmer stood up. “I just thought of something. There are many problems with some spells that leave dangerous waste afterwards and therefore are rarely used. But with these parasprites that wouldn’t be a problem anymore!”

“.... Yeah, let’s go with that.” I pushed the parasprite into a spherical shield that could contain the radiation and teleported five barrels of the waste into the bubble. “There we go, safe enough for us to watch.”

The parasprite sniffed at one of the barrels, looking as if it wasn’t sure it wanted to eat it for a few moments before smiling and chowing down. When the lone parasprite finished with the five barrels it lay on the bottom of the shield, twitching every so often and snoring, its stomach distended. Finally, after five minutes of watching it spit out a single copy of itself which was just as full as the first.

“Well, that seemed to work better than intended. What was it you fed it anyways?”

“Something that was called ‘nuclear waste’ where I’m from. It isn’t exactly magically active, but that’s the best I can describe it without having my explanation go way over your head.” I took out my homemade geiger counter and teleported it into the shield, holding it in my magic so I could see the readings. “Damn, that parasprite soaked up all the radiation, but it isn’t even registering!”

“I’m sorry to interrupt your... experiments, but would you care for some dinner, Grandmother?” Silver said, scaring Rarity since he was standing to her left.

“Yeah, some fruit bats for myself and Rarity, and some chocolate fondue for Glimmer.” I answered, dispelling the shield and letting the two bloated parasprites fall onto the table in front of Glimmer.

Glimmer nodded in thanks as she used a spell to stun the newer parasprite as it wasn’t asleep like it original counterpart.

The meal continued with the three of us talking about girl stuff and giggling and blushing when we brought up our love lives, just whiling away the hours until Radiance joined us and said that she was urgently needed back in her universe. Then Glimmer said she needed to get started on writing her column, but would think about all that we talked about. We all said our goodbyes and I went off to find Sun.

“Just don’t give him a gourd, Mun,” I said as I walked into the room, catching the last bit of his conversation with Sun. “Don’t want to make him look like Gaara.”

“Could it be the size of a hoof?” Sun then asked.

“I can make it any size you want; make it look, feel, and act like an animal. Even make it so they break down matter to make it even more believable,” Mun boasted.

“So who’s the extra bots for? A girlfriend?” I asked, ruffling Sun’s hair with a noogie.

“You can say it like that… I told Rarity that back in my world, I believe Fluttershy has feelings for me. So I wanted to show her how much I appreciated her. I thought one of those ways could be a gift.”

“I’d suggest a necklace or a set of bracelets, then. Non-lethal auto-protect lines in the programming and maybe something to make them destroy any nonorganic thing that tries to fall on her, or is thrown at her.”

“Now that you mention it, the necklace sounds like a good idea.”

“I can make a hat to go along with it to hide the band that allows her to control the nanos, as well,” Mun said, a silver necklace with a deep blue sapphire popping out of the hatch.

“Could the band resemble a Hairband?” Sun asked. “I don’t think it should look too obvious.”

“I think Mun means something like a gardening hat that she can wear around her house,” I said.

“Right, but what if she’s in public?”

“The band won’t work unless it’s touching her scalp, though I might be able to get away with a sort of feelers to slowly reach for her scalp.”

“That might work best.” Sun replied, soon being given the second set of bands by Mun. “Thanks for the help. You as well, Max.”

“If you’re going to be serious about Fluttershy, I’m going to consider her family like you. Oh, don’t tell Lance this, but I’m going to have Sol and Mun place sentry guns in hidden alcoves around the Power Ponies’ base,” I said.

“These lips are sealed… Do the Power Ponies know by any chance?”

“I’m... kinda putting them in secretly. All in the halls, on top of the building, outside the entrances....” I sighed. “I’d rather they not get snuck up on.”

“You sound like you’re trying to prepare for World War III.”

“You would as well if you were in my position. Gryphons hate Zebras, wyrms hate dragons.... The only reason they haven’t wiped each other out is because of Luna using the sun and moon as bargaining chips for the last thousand years.”

“So, what are you planning now? Holding a peace conference? Making Allies? Because, in this day and age, some people are just too stubborn to work with their enemy. Take a look at what’s going on back on earth. There’s government, the peace deals, terrorism. All of it is just a ticking bomb. I’m honestly glad I’m not there anymore.”

“None of those. I’m building up the army and advancing the technology. Metal airships instead of wood, magic powered laser cannons, and fighters.”

“Is Lance aware of all of this?” Sun asked. “He should know if the two of you are going to get married soon.”

“He has... old friends to worry about in his universe. I’d rather not put more on his plate right now.” I shifted uncomfortably from one foot to the other.

“Well, you should inform him. Secrets in a marriage are like cracks in a window. It’ll break eventually.”

I crossed my arms and huffed, “I’m not keeping this a secret. If he walked into my office looking for me or followed me to the air docks, he’d learn what I plan. I’d rather let him take care of his universe before worrying about the politics in mine.”

“Okay, but from me knowing him, he wants to make sure that the people he cares for are okay. Now that he’s a father, times change like the tide as it rises and falls.” Sun soon turned around. “Wanna come with me? I might need to get my clothes from Rarity.”

I shook my head. “It’s almost time for me to lower the moon. I need to get the foals to bed as well.”

“I understand. Maybe I can help with the foals?”

I gave him a smile. “Thank you for asking, but with Lucky helping me for now I can get them to sleep within ten minutes.” I motioned for Mun to follow me as I moved towards the door. “By the way... your fly’s undone.”

“Oh come on!! Seriously!?” The Faunus shouted out, hurrying to fix that problem as quickly as possible. Only to realize it wasn’t a problem.

“Made ya look!” I giggled.

“Dammit Max!!” Sun retorted. “I can’t tell when you’re joking around or not!”

“That’s the beauty of being a ruler,” I sang as the door closed behind us.

“Sol has an update about the letter Sky gave you yesternight,” Mun said, turning in the general direction of my office.

Once we arrived at my office, we found Sky pacing and looking worried for some reason. “You know, I forgot to ask how your flight to Manehattan went,” I said, stepping around my desk to sit in the chair.

Sky sighed in frustration, but answered, “Shadow found herself a coltfriend and we hired two ponies to inform us of what’s happening in the city, but that isn’t what I’m here about.” She took a breath to steady herself. “A pony was found barely alive and being eaten on by a cat outside of Vanhoover shortly after I gave you that letter. Some guards were able to drive the cat away, but the pony passed away shortly after telling them that Scourge was the leader of the ones that attacked that town.”

I felt a chill go down my spine at that, dread filling my stomach. He-.... Fucking hell! He’s alive?!

“Max?”

I shook myself, conscious that I was pale white and my racing thoughts could’ve been easily read. “I-I’m.... T-thank you for telling me this, I have a few letters I need to write a-and-”

Wait. All I need to do really is send Twilight Starswirl’s journal and get her used to running the country for a little bit, I thought, pulling out the book in question and a piece of paper. This isn’t as bad as you think it is, just calm down, there’s no reason to panic yet. There’s just a psychopathic, murdering, undead cat roaming the countryside! I felt my eye twitch as I gave a manic chuckle.

“Let’s see if Twilight can fix what this does, and if she can handle being royalty.” I glanced at Sky, taking note of her weirded out expression. “What? You’ve never had an evil enemy you’re afraid of come back from the dead and destroy two entire towns?”

“No, and I doubt I ever would.”

“Do you have anything else to report?”

“Aside from rogue changelings foalnapping ponies every so often? No.”

“You may go, then.” I set my quill down and rolled the completed letter up. Okay, with Twilight receiving that and subsequently becoming an alicorn, I’ll have time to watch what happens with this. Sun might want to watch it.

With that thought I set off for the last place I saw the faunus, only to find him wearing a bucket on his head and smushed banana on his shoulders. “Sol again?” I asked, chuckling behind my hand at Sun’s predicament.

“No, Rainbow. There’s a little multihued hair pushed right up against my nose,” Sun replied, trying to pull the bucket of peeled bananas from his head.

“Well, I don’t think I’d want to quash her mischievous nature. Even if it gets a bit vexatious.” I tapped the bucket’s rim, forcing it up enough for Sun to remove it the rest of the way. “Anyways, I was looking for you to see if you’d like to watch the hijinks that ensue.”

“Hijinks? What kind of hijinks?”

“I just sent Twilight the journal with the unfinished spell that will turn her into an alicorn. I figured that if she was turned into an alicorn it’d strengthen my position. Besides, I can’t run Equestria by myself.”

“So it’s like you have a Vice President?” Sun asked, the only thing he could think of at the minute.

“Kinda. I’m gonna see if I can fade into the background as well so I have more time for other things. Like tracking down that undead motherfucking cat.” I hugged myself and shivered. “Scourge was killed two months ago when he tried to attack me by Gilgamesh. I-I thought that would be the end of it.”

“Wait… Scourge is a cat? Something tells me that getting rid of him might be harder than you think given what you just told me.” The Faunus replied, causing me to give him a confused look.

“I know that. Apparently Scourge and his entire Clan are being backed by a demon that came with them through the portal.”

“It’s not just that. You said that you killed him once before right? Isn’t there a saying that cats have Nine lives?”

“Well, yeah. Firestar and the other leaders of the four Clans start with nine lives when they first become leaders. BloodClan, though, came from the city and don’t have StarClan watching over them.”

“It sounds like the same rule still applies. After all, we are in a land of magic. Anything can happen at this rate right? I mean, I honestly didn’t know what to expect of the whole Nanobot thingamajig earlier until you guys actually did it. Sometimes, you need to expect the unexpected.”

I shuddered again. “I should’ve given him a proper burial then. No, I should’ve cremated him. Stupid. I try to follow those rules, but then I make a stupid mistake like this!”

“Well, at least you know so that way, you’re prepared next time around.”

“Yeah. I want to send an airship to look for him, but there aren’t any made of metal that are finished, and I haven’t even started on giving researchers my idea for magic powered laser cannons yet.”

“Laser cannons? Should you focus on some kind of radar or sonar like tracking system so you can find who you are looking for first?” Sun asked. “Otherwise, it’ll be trying to find a needle in a haystack. Which makes me wonder one other thing… Do you have any allies with these “Clans” that you speak of?”

“Yeah, Firestar and his Clan -- ThunderClan --, then there’s RiverClan, WindClan, and ShadowClan. They came through first and their leaders approached me. I gave them the Everfree so they would feel more at home instead of forcing them to adapt to civilization.”

“My suggestion is that you call for a meeting with them, share your thoughts on the matter, and then ask for their opinions of how they think the situation could be dealt with. They might know more about Scourge than you think. Other than that, I don’t know what else to suggest.”

“I know as much as they do about him because of the books. More so, now that he’s come back alive.” I sighed. “I get what you’re saying though, that’s why I was going to put a unicorn that knows tracking spells on the ground where they attacked.”

“I’ll leave that to you then. I don’t want Fluttershy to worry about me if I’m gone too long. I kind of left while she was still sleeping.” Sun smiled sheepishly before scratching the back of his head.

I gave him a glare. “You didn’t tell anyone what you were doing?”

“Hey, When I found your token, the original idea was for me to summon you, not the other way around.” He pointed out. “Plus, the only one who did see me leave was Angel Bunny.”

My expression softened and I said, “The only reason I pulled was because you didn’t say anything when you tried summoning me. It’s common courtesy to say why you’re summoning someone at least.”

“Sorry, Grandmother. I’ll do better next time.”

I smiled and gave him a hug. “I’m not your grandmother, I’m your sister. I’ll see you later, brother.”

Sun smiled a little, “Charming. Glad to have you be part of the family then.” With that, he used his token to open up a doorway to his world and jumped on inside before it closed behind him.
