Author's Notes:

Each Chapter focus on the starting point of each girl's 'falling' for Maelstrom.
Next Chap: Twilight Sparkle and Dash finally start noticing that yes, she is a jealous possessive mare and those girls should definitely STOP ogling her stallion!

As for the small Omakes at the end, I hope you won't find them offensive, I just wanted to joke a little, as a way to have a laugh together, I am sorry.

This the story I have posted in my main account on FF.net, I was suggested to post it here as well, but I am not sure if you all will enjoy this, I am not a great writer (nor is English my main language), but it's worth a try.

Pairing: Naru/Main 6 (minus Rarity, but with Trixie filling the "Empty Slot")

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or My Little Pony and I don't make a profit out of my stories.

Canterlot – night – Castle -

The moon had just fully rose to the sky, although somehow 'slower' than usual as some of the more observant ponies still around noticed, when both Luna and Maelstrom could be seen walk through the corridors of the castle while talking, the Princess of the Night alternating a tale of the Prince's past to a small lesson either about Magic or how to rule a country.

"Very good, you managed to follow my Magic and help me rise the Moon, you are doing wonderful progresses," Luna said smiling.

"Thank you, mother." Maelstrom answered grinning, he knew he would never stop feeling good at calling her like that.

"Once understood how to teach you, your results started showing; it means that we can reach even better results." she said.

"The last two months had been the hardest of my life though," the stallion answered.

"Don't say that, otherwise I will start believing it to be true..." Luna said shaking her head before sighing as she stopped in front of a particular window, isolated from the others and highly decorated.

"Are those three..." Maelstrom muttered sadly.

"Me, you and your father, yes...Celestia had it installed shortly before she banished the two of us." She answered sighing, surprised to feel her son move one of his wings to cover her back making her nuzzle his neck with a sob.

"We look good..." the blond stallion said as he leaned his head on top of his mother's, both looking at the image of a soldier and an Alicorn playing with a small Pegasus colt under the full moon.

"I miss him, I miss him so much..." Luna muttered.

"Me too, I would have loved to be with him as well...do you think he would have hated knowing that I grew-up as an human?" Maelstrom asked.

"Your father never once regretted a single choice he made, it was one of the things I always admired of him, and he loved you dearly as I did and still do. I bet that even now he is proud of you, and probably even happy to know that as an human as well you had been with people ready to die for you no matter your not being their real son," Luna answered as she moved away from the stallion to kiss his forehead.

"I'll be always with you, no matter what. I won't abandon you." Maelstrom said smiling.

"Sigh! Just look at you, all grow-up and handsome...how long before a mare comes to take you away from me?" Luna answered grabbing her son's face with both her hooves to better look at him.

"I was serious about not leaving you, you will always be the most important pony to me; and even then, very few mares can compete with you, you are just too cute," the blond stallion answered smirking, carefully not mentioning that Dash was still at the top of his List of Mares, though.

"Ooh! My little Maelstrom is still a momma's colt! I am glad, but don't say those embarrassing things! It may go over my head otherwise!" the Moon Alicorn answered before crushing her son in a strong hug.

"Just telling the truth..." the blond stallion answered, happy to see his mother back into a more positive mood.

Up in the Heavens -

"That's my boy...keep your mother safe and stay always by her side, I know you will protect her well," Fierce Storm, a pony with white fur and blond mane, said with a proud smile.

"He is a good boy, don't worry as he will do the impossible to keep everyone safe," another voice said as a blond human sat near the stallion.

"Minato...your Gods decided to let you go then?" Storm asked as he nodded at the human.

"After what I did to help against Kaguya they deemed a prize for my help was necessary, and so, ever so annoyed, the Shinigami decided to spit me out. Sorry if I have 'stolen' your son for a while..." Minato answered with two bottles of sake appearing in his hands.

"He still grew-up into a respectable pony, I kept watching over the two of them all the same, and as an Human he did look like you so I don't think it would have been hard for him to believe to be your son," Storm answered as he grabbed one of the bottles with his mouth to take a swing before gagging at the strong flavour.

"Eh! Sake of Iwa, goes down like water and THEN it kicks you right in the stomach...but the similarities between me and him were all Celestia's work, she used some of my blood to 'shape' Naruto's human body, to make him blend-in better and I guess the 'spiky hairstyle' ended-up influencing his true body as well...unfortunately his looking like me didn't help me not growing attached to him." Minato answered sighing.

"And I am not angry about it, he had lost a father when he was barely able to walk by himself...I hoped he would have grow-up with at least his mother but that too had not been possible, I am happy to see that had nothing happened in the Elemental Countries you would have cared for him as if he was your own son until his time to come back had arrived," the stallion said smiling.

"He made me proud several times and he still does in fact,"

"Same here..." Storm said as both smiling 'fathers' took a swing of sake at the same time.

"...But his kissing skills obviously come from me!" Minato then said smugly.

"As if! He is all his father's son, I too could drive mares mad with desire with a mere kiss," Storm replied with narrowed eyes.

"Oh, really? Does Luna-san know about that?" the Fourth Hokage countered.

"I could ask the same, is Lady Kushina aware of your claim as a womanizer?" the Royal Guard asked back.

"Tch! As if I believe that by the way! Luna-san seems a fine mare, so I bet she gave you that first date only out of pity!" Minato said as he moved to glare at the pony.

"HOW DARE YOU! At least I didn't play fool just to attract the attention of a woman clearly ABOVE my chances like Madame Kushina was for you! It took a ponynapping for her to notice that you could be a serious man too!" Storm answered growling.

"Oh! Oh! Oh! You put it like that now, eh?! At least I never used the same cheesy lines you used to woo Luna-san! Really, did you copy them from a box of chocolate? They were pathetic!" Minato said between clenched teeth.

"Oh because complementing a woman's hair is any better! Very suave, Human!" Storm answered, now both man and stallion were pressing their foreheads together to growl at each other.

"SHUT UP, YOU MULE!" Minato yelled angrily.

"MULE? MULE?! You are just an ignorant, hairless ape and you dare mock me?! That's it! I am going to show you how my hooves are not just here for show!" Storm roared in rage.

"Come and get me then! I'll kick yar ass so hard you'll choke on my sandals!" Minato answered and with a duo of war-cries both Human and Pony jumped each other to give start to a fierce no-holds-barred beatdown.

"Sigh!...I swear, somehow Naruto-kun has inherited both their temper, how is that possible?" Kushina said with a defeated sigh as various souls of Pony and Humans tried to separate the two furious fighters that had somehow forgot their respective ways of fighting to just kick and bite each other like struggling kids.

Back in Canterlot -

"Now...It's time for us to talk about more serious matters," Luna said with narrowed eyes as both returned to walk.

"More serious matters?" Maelstrom asked as a pair of Night Guards passed by them causing him turn his head to follow the two mares making them giggle and wink at him.

"Exactly..." the Moon Princess said bitterly making the two guards trot rapidly away with a glare.

"Mother?"

"Are you...Maelstrom...sigh! A-Are you a f-f-flank-guy?" Luna asked in worry.

"A flank-guy?" the stallion asked back confused.

"I saw you just now, you were looking at those two's backside..." she said.

"WHAT!? NO!" the blond answered shaking his head wildly.

"Don't lie to me! I saw you! Even...even with Celestia! AH! S-s-she is trying to entice you back into loving her with those dirty tricks! I KNEW IT!" Luna said with a gasp of horror.

"NO! What are you saying?!" Maelstrom yelled in embarrassment.

"You are not looking for a mare-friend, right? RIGHT?!" the Moon Alicorn asked with wide eyes.

"Mother?" he said with a worried tone.

"You can't spend time with girls! You are cute and studly, they will kiss you! And then you will hug each other and then, and then!" Luna said with a gag of revulsion before hugging the life out of her son.

"Maybe you are exaggerating." Maelstrom muttered with a muffled voice from his mother's neck.

"You have not a mare-friend, right? You are not going around dating when in Ponyville in your free days from being a Guard, right?" Luna asked with a pleading tone.

"No, mother...I am not going on dates with girls." the stallion answered.

The next day – Ponyville -

Maelstrom and Dash could be seen walking through the small town chatting amicably and sometimes even laughing loudly at some internal joke of theirs, almost like a date was the reason behind it. And in truth it was, but not one of the ones watching knew that.

"So? How are things going with Gilda?" he asked while adjusting the bag on his back filled by books the girl had bought.

"Pretty good, the others are still a little stiff when around her, not that she helps them with her attitude, but we are getting there," Dash answered as the duo walked towards the apartment the rainbow-maned Pegasus shared with the griffin.

"I am happy to hear that, she is a cool girl once you get to know her," the stallion answered.

"She keeps pestering me for details about what we do though, she still insist we should tell everypony that we are together..." Dash said sighing.

"Hey! It's okay, as long as you are not embarrassed about me being the colt-friend I can stay put and keep everything a secret," Maelstrom answered.

"You know that I am not ashamed of that!...come here..." Dash said before opening the door of the apartment and signaling him to move closer.

"Yes?" he asked as he inched forward.

The answer was a quick kiss that soon evolved into a more fierce tongue war of several minutes before both had to separate to breath, both smiling at the quite exhilarating thrill of having a "Secret Relationship".

"I need to cover the turn of a friend today...meet you tonight for a midnight fly?" Dash asked, sighing happily as he nuzzled her neck to cover it in small kisses.

"Sounds kind of romantic...count me in, my rainbow princess..." Maelstrom muttered nodding.

"Okay, I'll be around Cloudsdale if you need me," she said.

"And I'll be helping Fluttershy with her animals instead,"

"You are not cheating on me, are you?" Dash asked with narrowed eyes.

"She just remembers me of an old friend, that's all. There is no need to be jealous." Maelstrom answered smirking.

"I am not jealous..." the Pegasus answered pouting.

"Good! Because I like only one girl, and that is you." he answered.

"Just shut-up and go before I drag you inside and we spend the rest of the day doing nothing but snuggling," she answered with a smirk and a blush before pushing him outside.

"You make it sound like a bad idea..."

"Just go, you silly teaser!...and my eyes are on the front, remember!" Dash said as she walked inside before briefly turning to wink at the stallion.

"I was not watching your flank," Maelstrom answered immediately.

"Yeah, and I have not wings," she answered laughing and taking her bag away from his back, this time waving her tail left and right teasingly as she walked before slamming the door closed right on the blond's face.

"I am not one of those guys..." he muttered.

"Oh, no you aren't. It's just that this world's girls have asses with magnetic powers that attract your eyes towards there against your will," Kurama answered smirking.

"Oh, do shut-up, Furball!" the stallion said in anger.

Some time later – Fluttershy's personal 'Forest' (Also known as her house's garden) -

Fluttershy was feeling nervous, it had been months since the blond stallion started helping her with the animals and she still could not feel at ease with him.

"Hoy! Just a minute! At least give me enough time to fill the plates!" Maelstrom said smirking while preparing the plates of seeds for the various birds flying around him.

It was not like he made jokes about her shyness or the fact she hardly spoke a word or two with him, he seemed just happy to help her and answer whatever rare question she happened to blurt-out, and he just didn't seem to find her annoying for that or the silence they both shared while working.

"Done! The birds too have their food," he said with a nod of satisfaction as he walked close to her.

"T-thank you," she muttered looking down.

"...I am not going to eat you, you know?" he said chuckling.

"What?"

"You act like if you fear me to fight you. I won't," the stallion answered with a gentle smile before moving towards another group of animals clearly waiting for their fill.

For some reason her animals had been pretty open with him, not from the beginning, but they did open-up to him pretty fast; he had explained it was thanks to his being a Toad Sage giving him a stronger link to Nature itself and that probably her animals could sense that, the only exception was Angel Bunny that was still wary with him, but the rabbit always was with everypony that was not Fluttershy herself.

"I am sorry..." she muttered.

"Naah! It's fine, the first time you saw me I started fighting with Nightmare Moon and demolished half the town, I too would think of somepony like that as a brute, it's okay." he answered shrugging.

"N-No it is not! It's very rude on my side, and I am sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable," Fluttershy said.

"Don't worry about that. You know? you remember me of Hinata, she is just as shy as you, or used to; she is finally getting out of her shell. So I don't mind seeing you act like that, it brings back good memories!" Maelstrom answered grinning.

"Is she...the human girl you wished to date before coming here?" the Pegasus asked.

"Oh-ooh! And how do you know about that?" the Prince asked curious.

"W-W-Well...Rarity and Twilight were helping Princess Luna when she was feeling down from your escape...a-a-and the Princess talked about the several humans you know, and she mentioned that human girl...a-and then Rarity told us and..." Fluttershy answered nervous, her face getting redder at each word.

"Hoy! Hoy! Calm down, your face is going to catch fire if you get any redder, cute it may be, but all that red can't be healthy!" the stallion said before playfully nudging her a little.

"It's okay, I am not angry. Just surprised." he then said with a reassuring tone.

"Oh...Oh, okay..." she answered nodding.

"Now, everyone has a plate full in front...bears have been massaged...foxes seems happy..." Maelstrom said while looking around with narrowed eyes.

"They get very happy when you are around somehow," Fluttershy added.

"I have an HUGE one sealed inside me, maybe they can feel Kurama's presence." the blond stallion answered.

"I would like to meet Mister Kurama..." the mare muttered.

"Really? Why not!" the other answered.

"Don't you dare!" Kurama said from the Seal.

"T-T-There is no need..."

"Listen to the Pony! DON'T BRING HER HERE! I am a badass war-machine and I WON'T be pet by a pastel-coloured pony!" The Biju warned again with a growling voice.

"Don't be like that, maybe somepony like you will crack his grumpy attitude," Maelstrom answered while skillfully ignoring the Nine-tailed Fox.

"I don't think..."

"You don't trust me?" he asked with his saddest expression.

"...O-Okay, but no pranks!" Fluttershy said.

"DEAL!" the stallion answered.

"I am so fucking hating you right now..." Kurama muttered with narrowed eyes.

"How do we do it?" she asked.

"Look into my eyes and relax, I'll do the rest."

"Okay," the mare answered nodding.

"This is for my comment about you looking at the girls' asses, right? It's definitely your revenge for that..." the Biju muttered easily ignored by the Alicorn.

"Empty your mind, I never tried this before so it may make you feel a little nauseous, just bear with it," Maelstrom whispered.

Inside the Seal – few minutes later -

With a small tumbling of an hard landing both Alicorn and Pegasus reached the by-now waterless sewer system representing the seal, Maelstrom sporting a satisfied smile while Fluttershy just stumbled a little to get up.

"Well, I'll be damned...It worked!" he said amazed.

"It doesn't look like a nice place..." the mare muttered.

"Sorry, my body his pretty much set on 'functionality' more than comfort..." the stallion said in embarrassment.

"Your...body?" Fluttershy asked.

"Yep! The tubes are my coils; Physical Energy, Spiritual Energy (Magic) and the third ones are the Chakra ones," he explained as he walked forward.

"I didn't mean to offend," she answered immediately.

"You say 'sorry' too much, just like Hinata...don't worry about it, should something you say really hurt me I will tell you flat-out, otherwise don't worry...but yes, I admit this place is not nice, but it was even worse before, so it doesn't suck as much now." Maelstrom answered chuckling.

"He compared me again with that human girl he used to like...he doesn't...he doesn't keep coming to help me just for that, right? Oh, my Gosh! What if he...what if he tries to go out with me? I never was in a relationship before! What should I do..." Fluttershy thought in worry.

"Eeeh! Let's see...to the right?...no, left, it was left!" she saw him mutter while walking in front of her.

"What happened with that girl then? Now...now that you are a pony?" the Pegasus asked.

"She was heart-broken, and so was I...but in the end we both acceptedthe fact that I would have stayed an horse for the rest of my life, she was not happy, but once we finally talked about it we decided to treasure the very few good memories we had together and move on, as VERY GOOD friends, but nothing more than that...for obvious reasons," he answered sighing.

"I am sorry to hear that," Fluttershy answered walking faster so to be at his side.

"It's okay, we just wished we had started sooner to date, but at least like this it hurt less, even just a little bit." Maelstrom said shaking his head.

"Do you think she will find somepony else?"

"I really hope so, I still want to see her happy," he answered with a sad smile.

"And what about you?" Fluttershy asked, managing to sound neutral out of some sort of Miracle she could not fathom.

"I...don't want to talk about it," he answered, his smile turning into a smirk this time.

"A-A-A mare has already caught your attention then?" she asked nervous.

"That's a secret," the stallion answered smirking as images of Dash flashed in his mind making him smile.

"Oh my gosh I was right! I remember him that girl so he might like me for the same reasons! What do I do? What do I do? WHAT DO I DO?" Fluttershy thought in absolute panic.

She had a suspect already when she learned how he used to steal glances at her flank every now and then, especially since Angel had took to kick him every time he did that so she knew the stallion was looking at her whenever she could hear him yelp in surprise, and while somehow flattering, it didn't help her feeling anxious when near him...but this was adding a new meaning to the thing!

The problem was that a small, traitorous part of her didn't seem to mind either! This was sooo wrong! Especially since he was a Prince, and Luna's son; what if his mother was contrary to the thing? Would the Princess banish her on the Moon? And if she was completely wrong instead? It would be so shameful to ask him about it and have Maelstrom answer that it was all in Fluttershy's head instead...ooh the shame if that was true, but even then, should he really feel something...why her then? She was not strong, or sure of herself or particularly smart or...

"-tershy? Fluttershy, can you hear me?" the blond stallion asked in worry, his voice finally cutting through the chaos in her head.

"W-What?" she asked.

"Found the furry idiot, he was hiding. Come on, Furball! Say hi!" Maelstrom said before yelling to the black void in front of the two.

"I am not coming out..." came the booming voice of the Fox.

"Come on! We have guests! Don't the the usual bastard and come out!" the blond replied.

"Sigh! FINE! But after this no more tourists," Kurama said with a grumble as he walked towards the duo with thundering steps until he was completely visible.

"Ooooh!" Fluttershy said in wonder as she walked closer.

"Yeah, I am awesome thank you for noticing it!" Kurama said smirking.

"Your ears are so cute! Just like the ones of a bunny!" the mare said happily making Maelstrom burst into a fit of mad laughing.

"The-the first thing you noticed are the ears? Oooh! This is just rich! The Mighty Kyuubi recognized for his fluffy ears! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" the stallion said with watering eyes and troubled breathing from all his laughing.

"I am so going to eat you, Naruto..." Kurama muttered with a venom-coated voice.

"Don't listen to him, Mister Kurama...your ears ARE really cute and fluffy! And I do like them," Fluttershy answered with a gentle smile.

"And now she is baby-talking him..." a far-away echo said in amusement, heard only by Kurama and Maelstrom.

"That was Matatabi! Is the connection within Naruto still working?! no...no...nononono!" The Biju thought in panic.

"It's all okay, Mister Kurama. I am right here!" Fluttershy said as she hugged his hand, one of his fingers actually due to the colossal size of the Fox, to pet him.

"Stop! I have a reputation! Y-you can't treat me like a new-born kit!" Kurama said in horror as the laughs of the other Biju now echoed the laughing of Maelstrom at his expenses.

"Sssh! It's all okay, I am not going to laugh at you, Mister Kurama. I am your friend." the mare said with a maternal tone as she caressed his fur.

"It's so warm and soft..." she then added nuzzling her face in his paw.

"M-Maybe we should go! HUHUHU! We disturbed his nap after all..." Maelstrom said while barely biting down his laughs.

"Oooh, poor dear...do you need something then? A blanket or a pillow...an huge one of course?" Fluttershy said in worry.

"Why not a teddy bear? PFFFT-HAHAHAHAHAHA!" the voice of the Seven-tailed Biju echoed in the back of Kurama's head before a new round of laughs started all over again.

"Yep! Definitely time to go! BYE, FUR-BALL!" Maelstrom said rapidly after noticing the heavy tick surfacing on Kurama's eye.

"You think he would mind if I sing him a lullaby?" the mare asked while looking at the stallion and so missing the Fox' glare at her promising absolute agony and pain should she really try to sing a lullaby for him.

"Naah! We just need to go, we still have a lot of things to do," he answered, now worried himself that the Biju would revert into his old 'Mass-murdering killing machine' mind-set any moment.

"You are right! Goodbye, Mister Kurama! Sleep well and don't fear nightmares! They are only bad dreams!" Fluttershy said before both disappeared from the Seal.

"...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!" once sure no-one was around Kurama drew back his head to let out a scream of utter rage that would have had even Kaguya run away in fear.

Back in the Real World -

"Here we are! And not a minute passed here while we were inside, just pure awesomeness made seal," Maelstrom said happily as soon as both he and the mare returned from their short trip.

"Mister Kurama seems like a nice Fox, I am happy to have met him," Fluttershy said with a little smile.

"Fuck you," Kurama grumbled in answer.

"He said he was happy to meet you himself," the stallion answered smirking.

The two kept walking until the young mare started lagging behind with a doubtful expression.

"Uhm!...Uhmm!" she muttered looking down.

"Spit it out, I am all ears!" he asked moving closer.

"I...I was going to Applejack for some apples...do-do you mind...accompany me?" Fluttershy asked.

"That's it?"

"Oh my gosh I was too direct! Now he'll think that I am trying something! Even then, why I am nervous about it? I shouldn't be happy of him accepting, right? Or I should? Oh, Celestia this is too complicated!" the mare though in horror before his chuckle shocked her.

"Apples? Why not! Was wondering what to have as a snack! After you, milady." Maelstrom answered with a smile and a deep bow.

"O-o-okay! F-follow me." Fluttershy answered nodding.

One hour later -

"Well, I'll be dam...darned, did they plant new ones? I swear there were less trees last time I was here," Maelstrom muttered in surprise at seeing that no matter how far he looked the line of apple trees seemed to go on forever.

"Eeyup! We of the Apple family take great pride in our acres, but no, no new trees planted yet!" a new voice said in clear smugness.

"Mister Big MacIntosh! Did we chose a bad moment?" Fluttershy asked.

"Naw! It's never a bad moment to visit, ya know that! Especially when all the family is reunited" Big Mac answered with a wide smile.

"Big Mac! I think it's time you let me taste some apples instead of just bucking them, ya cheap flank!" the blond stallion said smirking.

"Ya were repayin' AJ for the help in making ya see reason; she wanted to punish ya, so no apples!" the other answered as the two bumped hooves.

"So you helped them as well?" Fluttershy asked as the three walked towards the biggest group of ponies.

"A little, first by bucking trees and then by helping with the baskets. I had the bad idea of using clones and AJ and Big Mac here immediately started abusing it," Maelstrom said with a theatrical sigh making the earth pony with them laugh.

"A thousan' helpers on tap! It would've been a waste not to use 'em!" Big Mac answered grinning.

"A thousand? How many clones can you do?" Fluttershy asked.

"Made a bet with Shikamaru once about my total limit before I drop exhausted..." he answered embarrassed.

"And?" Big Mac asked.

"We lost count after one Million and just decided to set the whole number to 'A lot' and be happy with that," the stallion answered sighing, completely ignoring the bulged-out eyes of the other two.

"Eeyup!...that's a lotta clones..." the earth pony muttered with a weak chuckle.

Any further argument stopped when a small filly-shaped bullet slammed on Maelstrom's chest with a squealing cry of 'BOSS!' making him fall down on the grass with said young filly hugging his chest with a wide smile.

"Bloom?" the three heard Applejack say as she neared them.

"What happened?" Maelstrom asked with a wheezing voice from his place on the grass.

"A filly happened." AJ answered with narrowed eyes.

"Eeya, Boss! What are you doing here?" Apple Bloom asked.

"Decided to finally get some darn apples here since I almost broke my back while working here without getting any," he answered as he finally got free to stand up.

"Nothing else?" the filly asked teasingly.

"Well, meeting a certain Cutie-Mark Crusader might have helped me decide," he answered smirking.

"I was referring to Applejack! Aren't you here to see her?" Bloom asked confused.

"BLOOM!? What the hay are you saying?!" Applejack yelled with wide eyes.

"Hahahaha! Oh boy! Does she like to put you into embarrassing situations?" Maelstrom answered laughing.

Nopony noticed the worried expression on Fluttershy's face melt as soon as AJ started denying everything.

"We are just friends, Bloom! He helps me with tha bucking and nothing else!" the mare said.

"Ah didn't know that ya were a liar," Big Mac muttered smirking.

"Not you too! Between Bloom and Granny Smith I don't know what to do anymore!" AJ said in despair.

"Why does Bloom call you Boss?" Fluttershy asked trying to change subject, hoping to make the strange ache in her chest fade away.

"This one here is apparently helping Bloom and her friends to find their talents and gain their cutie-mark," Applejack answered.

"Hehehe! Guilty! They remember me too much my friends Konohamaru, Moegi and Udon to not help them, after being the 'Boss' for the members of the "Konohamaru Corps". being a 'Boss' for the Crusaders too was nothing different; and I still find a lot of fun at playing 'ninja' so I didn't see a problem in that," Maelstrom answered shrugging.

"A Ninja playing Ninja?" Mac asked smirking.

"Yeah, the irony is not lost to me...but is still a lot of fun," the blond stallion answered.

"When we started calling him Boss we didn't understand why he kept laughing, then he told us why. But we can't still find our talents no matter what we do." Bloom said sighing.

"We'll need to keep trying then, if you want you can count on me," Maelstrom answered.

"Thank you, Boss! Come on! I'll present you the rest of the family!" the filly said latching to his tail to pull him.

"Bloom! He and Fluttershy are not here fo that, let them have some apples and then leave," Big Mac said.

"Oh! You were on a date?!" Bloom said shocked.

"EEEEEEP!" Shy shrieked in answer.

"We are not going on a date, we are just friends," Maelstrom said playfully bumping her on the head with his hoof.

"Good! Otherwise AJ would have been jealous!" the filly said with narrowed eyes.

"EEEEEP!" the farm-mare shrieked in embarrassment.

"Don't listen to her, she is just reading all those sappy books Sweetie Belle gives her." AJ then added rapidly.

"It's okay! Konohamaru too kept asking me about random girls being my mare-friends, I am used to that," he answered.

"Ah! I got it! You are trying to woo both so to have TWO Mare-friends at the same time!" Bloom said in realization.

"DOUBLE EEEEEP!" both AJ and Shy yelled at the same time.

"You are doing that on purpose now..." Maelstrom said trying to look stern, even if the barely-restrained quirks of his lips showed how hard he was fighting the urge to smirk.

"...Maybe?" the filly answered with a mischievous smile.

"COME HERE! I'LL BUCK YA SO HARD YOU'LL LAND IN MANEHATTAN!" AJ roared in fury as she chased Bloom away.

"Sorry..." Fluttershy muttered making the Alicorn sigh.

"Again with that 'sorry'...I am not angry, as I said Bloom was doing exactly what my friend used to, asking random girls if they were my girlfriend in the hope to put me into trouble...and just like him the result is instead the girl chasing Bloom in anger; I am the one that is sorry, I hope you are not offended," he answered shaking his head.

"No, don't worry. I am not offended." Fluttershy answered smiling gently.

"See? All better when you smile...now, where do you people keep those darned apples? I have an hole in my stomach that needs to be filled..." Maelstrom asked with a whine.

"This way, ya foal! Just 'cause like that ya'll stop whinin'." Big Mac said with a snort before escorting the Alicorn towards the rest of the Apple family.

"Oh, Gosh! He likes my smile as well! What now? WHAT DO I DOOOOOOO!?" and that was yet another moment of crisis for Fluttershy as she trotted behind the two stallions.

Other than that small moment of anger between Bloom and Applejack things continued fairly well, surprising Maelstrom with how friendly and most of all VAST the Apple Family was with the sheer number of members.

"Ya have to think like this, ma family is one of the most ancient in here, ma ancestors actually helped in the founding o' Ponyville." Big Mac explained.

"Whoa! Cool! So in a way a lot of people are more or less related to you?" the Alicorn asked in wonder.

"Eeyup! Almost everyone has an Apple member somewhere in their family, maybe even you! Like a grand-father or a great-grand-mother lost somewhere in one of those fancy tapestries!" the eart pony answered laughing.

"I'll need to remember to check..." the blond stallion muttered.

"That you do. Come, I want to introduce you to Uncle Jobs, he always says that he will make the Apple brand famous...aah! That crazy pony, did you know he started working in a garage?" Big Mac said as he guided Maelstrom towards other Ponies to introduce them to him.

Meanwhile this was happening Applejack was doing the perfect impression of an apple as her face was just as red as one while Granny Smith and other elders kept asking embarrassing questions about her love life.

"Ya sure that he is not here for you? He always smile whenever ya are close!" one of the old mares in there said with a knowing smile.

"That is not true! We are just friends!" AJ answered in denial.

"You are the Element of Honesty, right? It means that telling lies is not your forte!" an old horse added laughing.

"Do you know how many of the family are known to have impregnated their future spouses when they bring them to the family reunions, right after introducing them? It was such a normal occurrence that for a while it had become an unspoken rule...so if you want some privacy with him, I dare say that the barn or tha west field would be perfect...as long as you keep it down, Hehehe!" Granny Smith said winking.

"GRANNY?! What the heck are you sayin'!?" the Element of Honesty yelled with wide eyes.

"There is also the old tree, ya know? The oldest one of the acres, me and yar grand-aunt had used those shadows for our first encounter, it's very romantic and isolated," Grad-uncle Golden added with a nod.

"And don't forget the storage room, I still remember the thrill and fear of getting discovered with my at-the-time colt-friend, Oh! How many memories!" Aunt Delicious said with a dreamy expression.

"WHAT'S WRONG WITH EVERYPONY!?" Applejack yelled in disbelief.

"Ya can lie all ya want, but the rest of the family seems to at least accept him...Bloom too likes the boy!" Granny Smith answered.

"Oh, Celestia!" AJ said id despair as laughs erupted around her.

"Go for it, girl! Never waste an opportunity," Grand-uncle Golden said nudging her towards Maelstrom general direction.

"I don't like him...right?" AJ muttered.

"Yar heart will be honest, just listen to that," Granny Smith answered with a gentle smile.

"Okay..."

"Good! I can't wait to see some little AJs trotting around bucking trees!" the old mare said happily.

"GRANNY!" Applejack yelled with a red face.

"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" A sudden scream silenced every noise though as a young filly could be seen run away from some wolf-like creatures made of wood.

"Timberwolves! Take the kids to safety!" a voice yelled as the adults rapidly moved to cover the young colts and fillies to give them time to escape.

"Need some help?" Maelstrom asked with narrowed eyes.

"Yep! Those are weak, just a rock and they fell to pieces, but they can still hurt with that bite," Big Mac answered.

"Got it." the stallion answered as he opened his wings wide to sprint forward, head-butting several timberwolves and turning them to splinters.

"I will help the kids to reach inside," Fluttershy offered.

"Good, keep'em safe, please." Big Mac answered grateful.

"Applejack!" Maelstrom yelled as he joined the girl just in time to see her use her back legs to kick a near creature making its lupine head shot high in the sky.

"They will return, Magic makes them regenerate," AJ said.

"At least I won't have them on my conscience," he answered smirking.

"AJ! HELP!" Bloom yelled in fear as she ran away from a couple of timberwolves chasing her with evident hunger shining in their eyes.

"BLOOOOOM!" AJ yelled in horror at seeing the young filly trip in her run, she was just too far for her to help even by running at her top speed.

"KYAAAAAAAAAH!" the young girl yelled in fear as she saw the timberwolves pounce on her before closing her eyes to not see.

The sound that followed was of fangs piercing flesh and then a grunting sounding more of annoyance than of pain coming from above her tiny head.

"W-What...BOSS!" Bloom yelled with wide eyes at seeing the towering form of the Alicorn Prince standing in front of her with a gentle smile.

"You okay?" he asked her in concern while ignoring the fact that he had a duo of timberwolves biting down on his wings and the third one latched to his neck, all three trying to clearly tear off flesh from bones.

"Wha-wha..."

"Give me a second, okay?" he asked, still smiling, before lifting his wings high to shake off the dog-like creatures and throw them far away.

"You done? I have things to do!" the stallion then said pushing away the last remaining attacker making it stumble back.

"Aruh?" the timberwolf whined in surprise.

"No, I don't care. RASENGAN!" Maelstrom answered turning the thing into fine dust thanks to the spiraling sphere on the tip of his horn.

"Heal that, bastard!" he then said smirking.

"Bloom, are you okay?" Aj asked as she finally neared the filly with a worried expression.

"I am okay...but...but," Bloom answered while pointing at Maelstrom.

"Meh! I got paper-cuts that hurt more. This got nothing on Nagato's Shinra Tensei, or Sasuke's Indra's arrow Technique, don't worry." he answered with a reassuring smile.

"But you are bleeding, you should go inside, it's too dangerous!" Applejack said worried.

"You are defending your family and I am going to help ya! You may be all I am a strong independent Mare and I don't need no Stallion', but I won't let somepony get hurt and do nothing, so make room because I am going to help." the Alicorn answered.

"Go inside, Bloom. Big Mac and the others will protect ya, I won't stand by either," Applejack said in determination, trying to not look at the deep wounds on the stallion near her.

"O-Okay, please pay attention," Bloom answered nodding before running away as fast as she could.

"Are you sure?" AJ asked.

"Tch! You want to protect your family and I want to help you do just that, I'll just need a little nap once done to heal, don't worry." Maelstrom answered smirking.

"Then show me how hard ya can buck those sticks!" she yelled before charging forward.

"Eh! A strong spirit if I ever saw one..." Maelstrom said before joining her.

Between her and the rest of the Apple Family pushing back the dozen or so Timberwolves got finally pushed back, almost everypony present got covered in bite marks or other superficial bruises, making of the Alicorn Prince the only one that sustained any serious wound in his reckless shielding of Bloom. Not that AJ minded since at least it helped saving her little sister.

"I'll go call a medic for those bites, they look nasty," Big Mac said as he trotted outside.

"I am coming with you!" AJ said as she followed him, not before a last hug to the Alicorn followed by an heart-felt 'thank you' on her side.

"HOY! There is no need for that! I just need a nap to recover!...really!" Maelstrom tried saying to the retreating duo before sighing in defeat.

"Let them do their thing so they will calm down. In the meantime I'll deal with the healing, there was Magic in the bites too so it kind of resisted my powers, but now I think I got how to work around it, so go sleep somewhere and let me work my Art," Kurama said while looking-over the wounds on the stallion's body from inside the Seal with a calculative gaze.

"Do you need any help?" Fluttershy asked concerned.

"It's okay, I just need a place to relax." he answered smiling.

"You sure?"

"Thanks to Kurama I posses a rather good Healing Factor, ever since I became an Alicorn that too received a very nice boost, so I just need to rest and my body will Heal by itself rapidly," Maelstrom answered.

"I'll still watch over you in case of need, you can't just dismiss that because you heal fast," Fluttershy replied with narrowed eyes.

"Sigh! I give-up, you others can do whatever you want, I admit defeat." he answered sighing before collapsing on a pile of hay to fall rapidly asleep.

"Poor dear...sure he moves around a lot when he sleeps though..." Fluttershy muttered in surprise at seeing the stallion toss around mumbling in his sleep.

Unknown to her, inside Maelstrom's head a rather nice dream was being played, and as usual a certain rainbow-maned mare was the sole protagonist of it, both he and Dash chasing each-other between clouds with her giggles ringing musically in his ears until he finally pounced on her, tackling her on a near cloud to nuzzle in her neck.

"Uuuhm!" he heard her moan as he covered her neck in small kisses just the way he knew she liked.

In the real world though, the wildly trashing Alicorn managed to pounce, still sleeping, on the near Fluttershy pulling her with him on the pile of hay and somehow without waking-up with the surprised yelp the shy mare had left-out in answer.

"What do I do now?! If I move he will wake up and think I tried to snuggle close to him while he was defenceless! HEEEEELP!" Fluttershy yelled mentally while the Alicorn kept hugging her, stopping her mental whining once he started kissing her neck making her mewl in surprise.

"Zzz...Cute...zzz...Like...soft." he grumbled in his sleep before latching to her ear to gently nibble it.

"Oh!...Oooh!" she muttered with a very red face at feeling a pleasurable warmth spread all over her from his hug and (for her standards) strange way of kissing.

"Uuuhm!" she moaned as he started licking the right spot on her neck making her subconsciously snuggle closer to him and kissing his forehead without thinking, his hugs did feel nice she decided.

"WE ARE HERE! WE GOT A DOCTOR!" AJ yelled from outside startling Fluttershy back into Reality.

"EEEEEEEEEEP!" with an high pitch scream the shy Pegasus disentangled herself from Maelstrom in order to return to her position near him waking-up the stallion.

"Uh! Eh? What happened?" he asked with half-lidded eyes.

"Nothing! Nothing happened! You were just sleeping!" Fluttershy replied while trembling in complete embarrassment in a corner, face redder than ever while she looked down.

"Here I am, let me see those wounds," the Medic-dressed Pegasus said with a professional tone as she neared Maelstrom with a bag strapped to her back.

"As I was trying to say, I have an Healing Factor! The wounds are already closing by themselves! Why no-one ever listen to what I say!" Maelstrom answered with a whine while showing the already fading-away signs on his neck and wings.

"Really?! Fascinating! Mind if I study the results? Please?" the doctor asked.

"Sigh! If you have to..." he muttered defeated.

"You okay, Fluttershy?" AJ asked curious while ignoring the enthusiast doctor as she analyzed the Alicorn Prince's healing powers.

"Me? I am fine! I am just a bit overwhelmed, that's all." the other answered nodding rapidly.

"Ya can go home, if ya want. We'll take good care of him," Big Mac said smiling.

"And you won't like being around as soon as Princess Luna will hear about Maelstrom getting hurt, she will go Nightmare on this," AJ added.

"N-no...it-it's okay, I'll stay just in case he needs help," Fluttershy answered.

"...If you have to..." AJ answered, unsure as to why she felt uneasy at hearing her wishing to stay, or at seeing the doctor probing around on the stallion's body.

"Someone's jealous?" Big Mac asked with a whisper.

"MAAAAAAAAC!" a blushing AJ yelled bucking the big Earth Pony all the way outside with a single kick of hers and making him reach low-orbit thanks to the power of 'Feminine Fury (Tm)' empowering her outburst.

"The bad feeling is getting stronger...I am starting to wish to be out of the Seal now, this won't end well...not even in the slightest," Kurama thought as he retreated even deeper in the Seal just to be safe from whatever Mess was about to crash on him and his Vessel.

Omake 1 – Big Mac's restless nights -

Applejack's room – Monday -

AJ was trashing around her bad with a grimace as another dream plagued her night, and just like the others, a certain blond stallion was the cause of it.

Or to be precise, her brother Big Mac was responsible for putting ideas about Maelstrom in her head and Rarity for giving her those romance novels for her birthday...not that she had read any of them of course! Certainly not! No sirre!

Okay...maybe a page or two...

Dream -

AJ was calmly bucking trees when the Alicorn Prince walked closer to her with purpose-filled steps and a determined expression.

"Applejack?" he asked.

"Yes?" she answered before going wide eyed as he kissed her hungrily.

"I love you, please marry me!" the blond stallion had asked immediately after the kiss ended.

After that for some reason the scene switched to the two of them going at it savagely behind a stack of hay with her yelling the most obscene things ever heard in all Equestria as he had his twisted way with her.

Real World – Mac's bedroom -

Mac's sleep went disturbed when the door of his room exploded into shreds and AJ walked inside with dark bags under her eyes and pure Hatred shining on her face.

"Y-yes?" he asked trembling.

"MAAAAAAAAAAAAAC!" she yelled as a sort of war-cry before pouncing on him to deliver a gruesome beating that would have even a sadistic torturer puke in disgust.

Mac's Bedroom – Tuesday -

The bandaged Mac was cautiously sleeping in the ruins of his old bed before the new door once again went demolished.

AJ had dreamed of her and Maelstrom mating furiously in front of the whole Apple Family with the others watching cheering for her as she 'rode' the Alicorn savagely.

"MAAAAAAAAAAAAAC!" she yelled her war-cry before pouncing again on Mac to deliver a new and more gruesome beating as a punishment for his constant teasing.

Mac's Bedroom – Wednesday -

The even more bandaged Mac was cautiously sleeping on the mass of splinters that used to be his old bed before the (third) new door went demolished.

AJ had dreamed of her and Maelstrom having wild intercourses under a tree with him slamming her against the bark with enough strength to have apples fall down around them.

"MAAAAAAAAAAAAAC!" she yelled her war-cry before pouncing again on Mac to deliver a new and even more gruesome beating as a punishment for his making her dream about the Alicorn.

Mac's Bedroom – Thursday -

The now terrorized Mac was literally sleeping on the floor since there wasn't enough matter to define where he was lying as 'bed' anymore before yet another door (this one in reinforced steel) went demolished again.

AJ had dreamed of her and Maelstrom having drunk monkey sex on the counter of Sugarcube Corner after an eventful foreplay with chocolate and whipped cream.

"MAAAAAAAAAAAAAC!" she yelled her war-cry before pouncing again on Mac.

Mac's Bedroom – Friday -

CRASH!

"MAAAAAAAAAAAAAC!"

AJ had dreamed about her, Maelstrom and an huge assortment of whips and blindfolds.

Mac's Bedroom – Saturday -

CRASH!

"MAAAAAAAAAAAAAC!"

AJ had dreamed about her, Maelstrom and he using his Shadow Clones to fuck her into Oblivion.

Mac's Bedroom – Sunday -

CRASH!

"MAAAAAAAAAAAAAC!"

By now Mac was too busy crying and AJ too angry to understand what she had dreamed this time, so he just closed his eyes and waited for the beating to finish.

Ponyville – Library – Monday -

"Please repeat, because I don't think I understand what do you want from me..." Maelstrom asked while massaging his temples with both hooves.

"Ple-eh-eh-eh-ehase! Please go out with mah sister! I can't do this! Every night she is angry because she dreams about you and hits me because she says it's my fault!...AND I CAN'T SIT PROPERLY ANYMOH-OH-OH-OHORE! Please, I beg you!" Big Mac howled between tears as he threw his heavily bandaged, heavily bruised and mangled body on the ground to kiss the Prince's rear hooves.

"O...Okay!" Maelstrom said uncertain.

CRASH!

"MAAAAAAAAAAAC!" AJ yelled as she demolished the door of the Library to enter.

"KYAAAAAAAAAAH!" with a girlish scream worthy of a five-year-old kid the Earth Pony dove through a near window to escape the mare's wrath.

"Hoy, AJ!" Maelstrom said rapidly.

"Yes?" the girl asked.

"I was going to have a walk...mind joining me?" he said with a nervous smile.

"Like a date?" Applejack said surprised.

"Well...yes?" the Alicorn said while watching Dash behind AJ nod encouragingly to him with a scared expression herself.

"Oh!...okay!" AJ answered with a wide smile.

"Perfect! In ten minutes in front of Sugarcube Corner then? I'll offer you something before the walk," he said.

"Okay, I'll be there!" AJ answered nodding eagerly while watching him rapidly walk away.

Outside the library -

"Sigh! I did it...I am safe now! Hihihi! I am safe...SAFE!" Big Mac muttered from his hiding spot with a broken giggle and twitching eyes.

"You told him about my dreams, don't you!?" a venom-coated voice hissed from behind him.

"No...nonono! Please Celestia no..." Big Mac muttered whimpering.

"MAAAAAAAAAAAC!"

"NOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Omake 2 – Always the Shy ones AKA 'Fluttershy too has her mind in the gutter' – Shy/Mael deleted scene -

Fluttershy and Maelstrom were calmly walking towards where Applejack lived, the shy mare silently contemplating the fact that maybe the stallion with her was developing feelings for her, oblivious that he was already in a relationship that he had sworn to keep secret.

The problem was that a small, traitorous part of her didn't seem to mind the idea of him courting her! This was sooo wrong! Especially since he was a Prince, and Luna's son; what if his mother was contrary to the thing? Would the Princess banish her on the Moon? And if she was completely wrong instead? It would be so shameful to ask him about it and have Maelstrom answer that it was all in Fluttershy's head instead...ooh the shame if that was true, but even then, should he really feel something...why her then? She was not strong, or sure of herself or particularly smart or...

"What should I do? I am out here all alone with him and he likes me. What if he decides to take me, force me to lay in the grass and...and then make me feel his breath on my neck as his throbbing stallionhood rubs against my folds." she thought while stealing glances at his strong-looking legs and powerful muscles.

"What if he wants to mount me right here and then tells me that he won't stop until he makes me carry his little fillies...oh my! oh my! oh my! oh my! oh my! oh my!"

She wasn't exactly shy because of issues of self-esteem, but more likely because by always living surrounded by animals she had seen a rather wide array of "mating" ever since she started, and all that Natural Smut did take its toll on her mind after years of exposure.

"Maybe...maybe he will force me to call him 'Master' even! An-and have his way with me in front of everypony and parade me around as his possession and humiliate me and...and pretend me to scream to all Equestria how much I like taking inside his huge..."

"-tershy? Fluttershy, can you hear me?" the blond stallion asked in worry, his voice finally cutting through the chaos in her head.

"I GIVE UP! YOU CAN TAKE ME, YOU BEAST! I am yours..." finally unable to hold-back any more Fluttershy totally snapped and with a face completely red in shame she dropped down on the grass and moved her tail to the side to show her most private parts.

After few seconds of silence she dared to look back, all to see Maelstrom look at her with wide eyes and around them her animal friends ALL watching her shocked, only Angel Bunny was different as the animal was going through all the motions indicating a stroke as the bunny collapsed on the floor with an horrified expression frozen on its face.

"I...I...I...KYAAAAAAAAAH!" seeing the over-all dead silence surrounding her had her realize that she had basically invited with a lust-filled scream Maelstrom to mount her in front of everypony.

That in turn resulted in the mare screaming of absolute shame before running away to hide under the covers of her bed.

"I have to wonder...where the fuck was all this luck with women back when I was 'Naruto' in the Elemental Nations?" the Alicorn muttered while walking mechanically towards the Apple Family place.

"Maybe it got locked-away like your being a pony?" Kurama answered uncertain, he too shocked by the shy girl's outburst.

But in hindsight they should have known, it was ALWAYS the shy ones...and she was literally called "Shy" after all...
