I looked at the two sleeping mares in confusion. I was currently in bed with two females that had feelings for me. I noticed that Octavia always had a small blush with me around, didn't take a genius to figure out what that meant.

"What the hell happened after I blacked out?" Pulling my arms away from the sleeping mares I quietly got out of the bed and made sure I actually had some decent clothes on. Once that was done I snuck out of the room and into the halls. Breathing a sigh of relief I made my way towards the kitchen, since I hadn't eaten anything since yesterday morning I was pretty hungry. As I walked down the hall I noticed a familiar white ball of fluff with a touch of red on it.

"Scary?" Scary turned to me and ran over, crawling up my leg and torso until he was at my shoulder. He then stared nuzzling my cheek. "I'm fine Scary, just blacked out for awhile." He gave a tiny sigh of relief and crawled onto my head. "Now, I need to get some breakfast then some answers to why there is two mares sleeping in my bed. You wouldn't happen to know anything about that would you?"

Scary just shrugged and buried himself in my hair, almost like there was nothing there. Pushing any thoughts aside for awhile, I opened the dining room doors to see the rest of the girls, Zero, Wasp, Zanny and Celestia sitting in silence. When they heard the door open they all looked at me. "Anyone want to explain why Twilight and Octavia were sleeping with me?"

Vinyl cleared her throat, Wasp and Zanny looked at me confused, Zero was holding in a laugh, the rest of the girls looked away and ducked their heads and Celestia calmly took a sip of her tea. "Well?"

"They were worried about you, they both refused to leave your side after you fell unconscious." Stated Celestia with a hint of dishonesty in her voice.

"Ok first off Twilight's already confessed her feelings for me and Octavia's are painfully obvious. Secondly I don't appreciate being lied to about such a personal matter, you of all ponies know this Celestia. Thirdly I will slam your head into a window if you don't stop laughing Zero. Lastly, none of you are to tell Octavia about my knowledge of her affections until I myself talk to her about it. Understood?" They all nodded.

"My, it's no wonder both of those mares like you darling." Giggled Rarity.

"Care to explain?"

"I take it Twilight has already told you why she likes you the way she does?" I nodded. "There was also a few other reasons I won't be able to tell you due to a pinkie promise, none of them bad of course, I'm just saying that there are a few bits of your personality that...excites her."

"You mean to tell me that one of the major reason Twilight likes me is because she gets excited by my dark, moody, angry, violent, dominant and protective personality?" They all nodded. "Great..."

"Lyra, I believe you should tell him why Octavia likes him." Lyra nodded and was about to speak when I put my hand up to stop her.

"No, I'll ask her myself. I also need to have a talk with Twilight about all this, especially because I'm married."

Everyone at the table spat out their drinks, save for Zero who nodded calmly. "WHAT?!!"

"Relax, it was a deal to stop two major mob families from starting a civil war." They all calmed down only to repeat the process. "I'll explain later, right now I need to think about this. Out you come Scary." I lifted Scary out of my hair and held him in my hand. Some of the mares screamed while some just looked at me with curiosity.

"Symbol, why did you have a spider in your hair?" Asked Celestia calmly.

"Oh, this is my pet spider Scary. Wasp and Za...I meant Crystal and Flare found him in our basement and he's been living with us ever since."

"Oh yeah, I remember that little guy from two nights ago." I looked at Vinyl with a raised eyebrow. "Not important."

I rolled my eyes and set him down on the table. He scurried up to Wasp and Zanny and sat between them. After eating a small pile of pancakes I lifted a tray with some breakfast for Twi and Tavi and made my way back to the room.

I set the tray on a table on the balcony, making sure the scent carried over to the mares with the breeze. I saw their noses started to twitch and sat down on one of the three chairs. They slowly got out of bed and made their way to the table, I looked out at the view of the countryside while they ate their meals, whispering to each other.

"You two sleep well enough?" I caught them off guard with this. They both stuttered a bit before I held up my hand for them to stop. "It's alright, I'm not mad at either of you." They both sighed in relief. "However..." They tensed up and looked at me with nervousness. "...I will ask one thing. What is it you like most about me?"

"What?" They both asked in unison.

"I already figured out you have these feelings Octavia, it may not be obvious to a pony, but to me it's like reading a children's book. Twilight, you already told me why you like me, but I know there is something else." I stood up and faced them both with the softest expression I could manage. "So tell me, why do you two want to be my marefriends?"

"Symbol...you don't meant that you're ok with-"

"I will listen to your reasons. If they are the right reasons I am willing to give a harem a shot."
