Chapter 12:

An Elite Party, Part 1

*****

The many months have passed by since the final conflict between the Rex Brutes and the Royal Elites. And it was now time for winter to come. The Running of the Leaves event had passed by with the citizens running even faster in the anticipation of the season to come.

When Sterling Caliber, now the Prince of the Royal Elites, had gone to the Crystal Empire, he held a memorial service in dedication to the fallen Prince named Shining Armor. The time during the day of mourning was indeed a sad one. And not just for the Princess named Cadence, or for the child named Flurry Heart who was still a baby. The fallen man's parents, and his sister, Twilight Sparkle, had also come to grieve. But even when the grieving was done, followed by a long party, the time to heal from the many wounds that the war inflicted would indeed take about more than a millennium to heal, if there was luck on their side.

But only Sterling could mourn for the one person that he still felt was needed to be mourned over:

Leviathan.

Even with his loving girlfriends trying to debate against mourning his loss, he still grieved for the creature that he really did consider to be like a younger brother. And he placed an unmarked pile of stones next to his parents' own tombstones at the graveyard near Dodge City. Eventually, his girls had agreed that even if Leviathan was not the most conventional of saviors, he was able to do his part in stopping what could have been the beginning of the apocalypse. And thus, save Equestria.

.....

It was now the 13th day of the month of August. Only one day to go until Sterling was able to celebrate a certain day that would come tomorrow: His 24th birthday.

And as he sat on a cloud, just a few tens of feet high above his home, during the afternoon hours, he was enjoying the sun that his now equal superior, Princess Celestia, was able to bring every day. But this was only because of how he wanted to relax himself.

During the months that passed by, he looked back to how he was able to do so much good for his hometown. And all before he could revel in the fact that he was now an equal to the same rulers that he always held in the highest regard. And given that he never was a person who followed politics at all, his new position was always putting him on the spot.

Recently, he was given quite a mouthful of words from some of the noblemen who wanted to pass a bill that would, in his perspective, give the same nobles the power to raise the taxes of the general income that all of the people in Equestria would have to go through. But instead, he was able to get the Sun and Moon Princesses to agree that the taxes should go against the nobles who proposed such an atrocious bill. And so it was passed that the nobles would have to make due with what they were going to get. This made the new Prince smile. And none of the nobles would dare to bring up a bill of taxes if he was around at any of the Courts.

"Hey there, stud," a voice called to him from a few inches away from his face. Sterling looked up from his place on the cloud and saw that it was Rainbow Dash calling him, hovering just a bit above him.

"'Stud?' What do you mean by that, Rainbow?" he asked her curiously as he pulled himself up to get a better look at her.

"Duh! Did you see the newest cover of Equestrian Vogue?" the Auran snapped at him while pulling up a bundled magazine to him. Sterling took the article from her hands and was able to confirm that the picture in front of him did have a shot of him in a semi-formal wardrobe. And he was in the center with the four Princesses of the land surrounding him. "They got the pictures and a few interview tidbits from the Princesses, but they weren't able to get a piece from you, hot stuff," Rainbow grinned at him.

"Again: 'Stud'? 'Hot Stuff'? Just where is this coming from, Rainbow?" he questioned her with his brow raised at her. "Is this your idea of a joke? And how does a magazine like Equestria Vogue get this picture of me?" he felt the need to ask, even though he felt his voice rise in anger, as happens whenever he wishes to interrogate a person.

"Dude, if I was joking around with you, you'd already know about it," Rainbow defended herself as her hands were raised up.

"Anything else?" he then asked her.

"I also think that you're quite a good looking guy, Sterling," the Auran sighed out embarrassingly. "Heck, if it weren't for the fact that you have three of my best friends in your love circle, I'd go out with you without regret or remorse," she also admitted to him with a blush on her face.

"But you don't wish for that, do you?" Sterling asked in concern for his great friend. During the months that went by after the last battle, Sterling was able to see that both Rainbow (who was in front of him now) and Pinkie Pie (who was at work at the moment) had been asking about him while talking to his great girlfriends. But just as he knew how much the Auran athlete and the Equian confectioner wanted to be with him, they did not want to officially become partners in his harem. And this was now being confirmed while he sat on his cloud.

"No, Sterling...." Rainbow sniffled. "Pinkie and I already talked to Fluttershy... *sniff* ...and Rarity about it, with Applejack coming in before we told them the truth," she added the last part before continuing her speech, "And they all agreed that you still hold a place in your heart for us, even if you don't feel the same way that you feel for them, right?"

"Oh, Rainbow...." Sterling sighed with his head shaking away from her. "You get over here, right now, and let me kiss you, okay?" he then suggested to her in a commanding voice that demanded a straight up answer.

"Whoa-whoa-whoa-- wait, what?" she stammered at him, bewildered by his order.

"Now!" he smirked in his small command. And when Rainbow complied by standing next to him, Sterling puckered his lips to  begin kissing her. And Rainbow could not believe that one of her best friends was actually kissing her. 'Now this... is just AWESOME!!!' she screamed to herself as her arms then wrapped around him without any regret. A few minutes passed by until Sterling stopped his kissing, allowing Rainbow to take a breath. "Feel better?" he asked her with a smirk.

“Yeah. I do, actually,” she replied as she started to feel the fire in her heart return. “Thanks, man,” she thanked him.

“You're welcome, Rainbow,” he said to her with his smile not leaving his face. “And I believe that there's a solution to this little dilemma,” he confidently stated to her.

“And what would that be, huh?” she asked him in the same confusion that came around a moment ago.

“I'd like to know as well, Sterling!” a voice then called out to him. The pair that shared an embrace soon saw the pink haired Equian floating in a machine that was made for hovering with balloons all over it. And even Sterling was able to recognize who it was at the wheel.

“Hi, Pinkie Pie!” Sterling waved at the Equian woman who was doing her best to stay in the air while waving back to him. “I take it that you liked seeing Rainbow get a kiss from me, huh?” he playfully teased her.

“Well, yeah,” she said to him plainly. “It was just so sweet to see Rainbow look so flushed after getting her kiss from you,” she giggled at Rainbow's expense.

“Oh, what do you know, Pinkie?” Rainbow nearly screamed out from her embarrassed state, to which Sterling nearly glared at her with cautious eyes. “Uh, I mean.... m-m-maybe you'd like to get a kiss from Sterling as well?” she asked her friend almost eagerly.

“Well, duh! Of course I want to get a kiss from Sterling!” Pinkie proclaimed to her friend.

“I'll cast a cloud walking spell for you if you wish,” Sterling said with a finger pointed at her.

“Gimme the spell, buddy!” Pinkie smiled. And thus, Sterling performed the spell with a small amount of his aura surrounding the Equian woman's feet. And as it was done, Sterling gave her the thumbs up to indicate that it was safe. And with a random form of momentum, Pinkie vaulted from the machine and hopped from the rim of the device that still stayed in place. And with a small tumble, Pinkie fell towards Sterling who had grabbed her arms instantly. As soon as she got to her feet on the cloud, she smiled at him once again. “Care to give a kiss to your friend? I know that we don't have a booth set up, but hey! It's all in good charity, especially if it's from a great friend of ours!” she had said while looking into his silver-colored eyes with a giggle in her voice.

“Whenever you're ready, Pinkie,” Sterling smiled back at her with a small lick of his lips as he puckered up for her. And just like that, Pinkie had taken her hands and cupped his face before moving just millimeters close enough to his face to nuzzle his nose. This allowed him to chuckle for a bit before he took the initiative by moving his right hand to her cheek as his lips had closed the small space between themselves. And just like with Rainbow, the kiss was short in time, but it was still as amazing for the both of them. When he parted his lips from hers, she gave out another giggle that made the others chuckle a little bit.

“Thanks, Sterling, I really wanted to do that with you,” she thanked him with a widening smile.

“You're welcome, Pinkie,” he replied to her.

“Now that was just beautiful, darling!” The new voice, as Sterling was able to notice, belonged to none other than Rarity, who along with Applejack, Fluttershy and Twilight Sparkle, had seen the action being made by the man and the woman in front of them while on the ground. “And I do suppose that you heard both Rainbow and Pinkie say to you that they were in a dilemma regarding their relationship to you?” the posh lady had asked him with her eyes on him.

“I already came up with the best solution to the problem,” Sterling nodded to her as he then held both of the ladies besides him before taking his flight to the ground. His feet landed gracefully on the ground in front of the women who were joined at the walkway.

“Do tell, Sterling,” Twilight spoke to him.

“Article 11, Paragraph 2, Lines 4 through 6 of the Grand Quill Harem System: 'If the harem in question so happens to be in a situation where a potential applicant, or applicants, does want to be a part of the polygamous relationship, but without any desire to stay within the official circle, then the male of the harem'-- that's me-- 'must be willing, by the right of the vote of the main lady--' which is Fluttershy, if you don't know by now-- 'to allow said party to become a secondary harem. And thus, with said party in mind, the applicants in question must be willing to allow themselves, by choice, to become the mistresses, or consorts, of the lead male of the harem',” he recited from his mind while interjecting with a few notes to add to the recitation.

Twilight gasped. “So... Fluttershy has the right to allow both Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie to become your mistresses?”

“Uh... y-y-yes... I do,” the timid woman nodded. “But I also had to think very hard on this, Sterling,” she said to her man. With Sterling's attention turned to her, she continued, "And I really do believe that Rainbow and Pinkie can be the best secondary harem ladies for you." Sterling could not believe his ears.

"By the Goddesses," the man sighed at her. "Fluttershy.... You're really stepping up to becoming a bolder woman," he commented to her with his smile growing bigger while his disbelief of his main girl's actions thus far was shortening. The reaction in turn was a giggle from the fashionista woman who made a slight, yet blissful sigh with Applejack following suit.

"That she is, sugar cube," Applejack said to him as she approached to give him a hug. The hug was immediately followed by a quick kiss after he said, "Hi, baby," to him.

"Hey, country Goddess," Sterling smiled with his own kisses to her lips, making the country Equian blush a little bit before they both parted after the kiss. "So! Pinkie? Rainbow?" he then called to the ladies at his right side.

"Yes, Sterling?" they responded at once, causing the both of them to giggle for a bit when they realized that they made the same reply at once.

"Would the both of you be willing to become my mistresses?" he asked them solemnly with his hands on the part of his chest that covered his heart while looking at them with a serious grin.

"I would love to be your mistress, Sterling!" Pinkie proclaimed to him with a bounce on the word that she emphasized. "And! You have my certified Pinkie Pie Promise that I, Pinkamena Diane 'Pinkie' Pie, will do my best to make you happy with me as your mistress!" she vowed to him as her left hand had done the motion while cupping her eye to complete the vow.

"I accept your vow, Pinkie," Sterling bowed with his head to her before calling her over with his finger. Picking up what he wanted, Pinkie hopped her way over to him and decided to give him a deep hug. The hug was then followed by a deep kiss that made Pinkie believe that the world was just like a dream. Even if it was showing a world filled with everything made of candies, pies and cakes in her mind for a little bit.

"Thank you, Sterling," she thanked him with a blushing smile.

"You're welcome, Pinkie," he said to her with his mood going up a little higher. "So now... Rainbow? Would you be willing to become another mistress for me?" he asked the Auran who had given a small grin from what she saw.

"You know what? YOLO!" Rainbow cracked a chuckle before nodding at him. And Sterling, in his ability to analyze what certain words or anagrams meant, urged her to continue. "But if I am going to be your mistress, then I must tell you: I'm going to do my best to make sure that our time together is awesome! Just like the kiss that we shared on your cloud!" she declared to him as she thumped her chest with her left fist. "Count on it!"

"Oh, I already know that, Rainbow!" he smirked at her playfully.

"Just shut up and kiss me, will ya?" she told him to do. And Sterling immediately obeyed her with his kiss on her lips becoming quite epic. At least, it was a lot epic in her mind. And Sterling was of the same mind, even though he knew that his best kisses would be given to his real harem girlfriends. "Thanks, dude," she then sighed, nearly out of her character.

"You're welcome, Rainbow Dash," he chuckled with her. The time had passed by for the duo to be parting from their embrace. And as he did, he was able to see Applejack, Rarity and Fluttershy looking at him with warm smiles on their faces. Looking at Twilight, he was able to see a woman who was acting like a shy schoolgirl who never even had a kiss, or heard of what it always implied. He then found the right words to say to his equal, but he had to find a way to convince his girls that he wanted to give her the same kind of kiss to her. It was then that he had decided to call two of his present girls over. "Rarity, Fluttershy, huddle with me?" he called them over with his fingers motioning over to him. The girls then came over to him and lowered themselves in a small circle. But then, before he could say his idea to him, Applejack decided to join them. He could only nod with her wanting to know what was going through his head.

"Is there something wrong, Sterling-dear?" Rarity asked her man in her practiced whisper.

"Unless you count the big fact that Twilight looked a little nervous when I was kissing both Rainbow and Pinkie, there isn't," Sterling whispered to the ladies around him.

"Nervous?" Applejack asked.

"Like a schoolgirl who had never been kissed at all," Sterling replied.

"Oh, my! Um... is it something that you want to help her with?" Fluttershy hypothesized to him in her trademarked soft voice.

"Only if I have your permission, girls. Because I won't if you say no, but I feel that she needs to learn about kissing from us," he spoke to them with a determination being found from his heart. "Or maybe me," he added to the inquiry at hand.

"Ah say go fer it, but just be gentle with her," Applejack said approvingly with a hint of caution.

"And remember, darling: This might as well be her first kiss, so approach with caution," Rarity instructed him with a serious demeanor.

"And make sure that you... um, that is... make sure that Twilight feels good about it, okay?" Fluttershy requested of him.

"I will, my loves," he vowed to them as solemnly as he gave the motion for a group hug. The ladies around him then moved up to close in on him with their arms around him and each other in a deep embrace that allowed Sterling to give a small chuckle, knowing that he was going to give Twilight a small preview of what true romance was all about. "Twilight?" he called to the Princess who had yelped a bit from hearing her name.

"W-what? Did you, uh.... say something, Sterling?" Twilight asked him nervously. Sterling could only shake his head for a little bit. There were times that he wished that he was not right about certain aspects or quirks that other people displayed on a daily basis.

"Girls? May I have a few moments alone with Twilight?" he then asked his girls and new mistresses.

"Take yer time, Sterling-sugar," Applejack patted him on the shoulder.

"And don't worry, Twilight darling. Sterling only wants to see you about something, alright?" Rarity calmly said to her Alicornian friend who could only nod as her reply.

"And besides, we all need to get to our workplaces... right?" Fluttershy announced to the rest of the group.

"Right," Rainbow concluded, along with the rest.

Some seconds later, after being given a kiss on his left face cheek by Fluttershy and Rarity, Sterling had been left with no one but Twilight Sparkle, who was looking nervously at him while keeping her stance on the walkway.

"So.... Twilight," he greeted her with a small grin.

"Uh... yes, Sterling?" she responded to him.

"I don't suppose... you have been wanting to get a kiss from me?" he then said to her straight up as his finger pointed at her for a moment. The best approach, as he only utilized on rare occasions, was to get straight to what was going on in a person's mind. The look on Twilight's face was just... priceless.

Her face was now going through the biological defense that every person felt when they were confronted about the things that made them feel dreamy while also feeling burdened. A large blush had spread across her cheeks, turning into the shade of vermilion red. And that bright color was able to indicate to Sterling that she was wanting a lot more than being given just a kiss. A lot more. But as the Princess felt that she could not calm herself, and with the pressure of her real answer agonizing her heart, she then blurted out:

"IWANTTOBEAPARTOFYOUROFFICIALHAREM!!! AAAAAHHHH!!!"

With that scream made, she ran from her spot and tried to hide at the barrel that was at a large enough distance from the garage unit. But Sterling was not going to allow his equal to hide from him. And with a slow walk towards the barrel, the same one that he enchanted to be the entrance to his Dragon Vault months ago, he was able to deduce what was already going through her mind. At least, it was what he believed that Twilight was going through.

"Twilight, I know what it was that you just said now, before you decided to hide yourself at the door of my vault," he began his statement to her. "And if you really want to become a part of the harem, you need to speak to Flutters, Rares and A.J. about it. But as for why you feel embarrassed and scared at the same time.... I can definitely relate to what is going on with you," he kept on speaking. When he only heard a slightly muffled sound from her, he continued his speech.

"My girls already know about this part from my past: *sigh* When I was 18, my first crush was on Faith. The same Equian woman from my unit. And she was able to teach me how to summon my Ethereal Possessions when I first met her at the 17th Infantry Equestrian Marine base. But it was after I told her my true feelings about her that she had let me down easily by telling me that when I got my first kiss, it would have to be with someone that I knew, deep in my heart, I would be able to keep in my heart for a very long time. And what you are going through, right now, is nothing to be ashamed of." His hand had then touched the wooden lid of the fake barrel that betrayed Twilight's need to hide. "You fell in love with me when you realized that I was able to make three of your best friends very happy with me. And you desire that same happiness, don't you?" he then asked her as he placed his hand on Twilight's shoulder. But in a surprising move, Twilight jumped up from her place and wrapped her arms around him in a tight yet meaningful hug while crying loudly into his chest.

"Yes, Sterling! I never had anyone give me that kind of attention at all!" she cried to him with her voice smothered by what she was doing to her own face. "Will you please let me a part of your harem, Sterling?" she asked while still sobbing. "I just love you so much that it hurts! When you spend your time with your girlfriends, I start feeling like butterflies are in my stomach! And when I am talking to you, I just get so nervous about saying the wrong things to you! I just want to be with you!" she declared after lifting her face to look at him.

"Not for popularity, a rise in fame, or for the wealth that I have?" Sterling had to ask in order to find out if she was going to be true to him. And one of the rules that Rarity had established to him, to which he took to heart, was to ask that question in order to find out if any potential woman could be allowed into his life.

"I want you as a person, Sterling," Twilight sniffled as she looked into his eyes. "And if you allow me to be your girlfriend, I promise that I will make you as happy with me as you are with Applejack, Rarity and Fluttershy," she vowed as solemnly as her two best friends, who had become his mistresses, had done.

"Then you better tell me why it is that you believe that Star Swirl the Bearded was the better Wizard than High Sparks the Magnificent?" he retorted to her with a new serious look on him.Twilight was able to hear, despite the facial expression that she saw from him, how he was just teasing her in his tone. It was subtle, but more than enough to rile her up a bit. And with a determined look, she began her statements to defend Starswirl's triumphs.

“Starswirl the Bearded was able to discover more than eight-thousand spells that almost all of the Magicians and Alicornians are known to utilize daily! But not only that, he was able to discover a portal that would lead him to many worlds! And many of those worlds were simply parallel to our own! And most of the spells that the truly great wizard found and documented became the standard curriculum that everyone in Magic School learns about during their youth! And along with his great discoveries, he was also able to teach many creatures, including the Leo-Gar Highlanders, how peace and harmony are much more desired than having an argument! So there!” she finished her statement with her tongue out at him.

“Oh yeah?” Sterling retorted to her.

“Yeah!” Twilight replied back.

“Well then... I can safely tell you that the only reason that Starswirl the Bearded was able to make those discoveries was because of how he was just so scramble-minded in his life, whereas High Sparks the Magnificent was able to keep a rational head with his discoveries!” Sterling began to speak. “During his time alive, High Sparks had discovered that most of the spells that Starswirl discovered were too complex for the normal Magician (just as we both once were, mind you!)! And as he was the one who was able to make things a lot simpler for any Magician, the Aurans were also able to learn how they are able to control the clouds that are a part of the weather that they are all scheduled to make for us Equestrians! Plus, he was able to even teach the worst of farmer Equians why it was that the ground of any farmland was not fertile for the normal crops! And it is through his teachings that we, the many races of the country of Equestria, (including us Alicornians) are able to pass our schooling with great honors in our souls! Burn you!” Sterling then shouted with his fingers pointed at her after ending his statement.

A few minutes passed by before both Twilight and Sterling had discovered that they were each getting on each others nerves with each others debating. So much so to the point that when Sterling had gotten close enough to Twilight, he whispered to her:

“Are you getting as turned on with this debate as I am?”

“I so want to make out with you with no stopping,” Twilight blushed while trying to keep a straight face.

“You wanna bet that I can last longer than you?”

“I bet that I can do better than you, Sterling!”

“You're on!”

From that moment, Sterling and Twilight began to kiss each other in a heated throe that had them both groping each other in their weak spots while keeping up the small competition with each other. Twilight then had the bold idea to wrap both her arms and her legs around him while smacking her lips to his wildly. And Sterling could only make her moan as she did for him while he held her in place. But as they did this, they had both felt a spark igniting in their hearts. And it was the same spark that had ignited Sterling's compassionate love for his other girlfriends. Just as it was the same spark that allowed Twilight to realize that loving a person for their flaws and strengths was all that she needed to know. The same emotion that the pair was feeling at that moment was more than enough to conclude that the competition was not needed at all, thus allowing their passion to be the drivers of their decisions.

Sterling had allowed both his hands, and hers, to touch the base of their wings in a massaging motion, causing them both to moan from how gentle yet firm they both were with each other. And this motion was soon followed by Twilight grinding her crotch on his in a slow and sensual motion that spoke to him about how she was wanting him like that. Despite how wet she was feeling, based on a certain minuscule sound that was heard from below, both of the Alicornians had kept going with their ministrations for each other. The man was already sitting on the lid of the barrel when he had Twilight on his lap. And she was pivoting her maidenhead on his rapidly growing social life, causing her desire to be fully known at that moment. And with his lips going to the collarbone near Twilight's neck, she nearly screamed out his name before she bit her lip to reduce herself to a mere shudder.

“Oh, Sterling.... I've been wanting to do this with you for a long time,” Twilight panted while she felt the man's hot breath creeping down her back, her skin creating goosebumps from how great the moment felt for her. She had a slight bit of knowledge that most men would rather get straight to the main event than to be sensual. But Sterling was quite the opposite of most of the men that Twilight had read about in some Goddess-forsaken tidbit. This man, with whom she was heavily making out with, wanted to help her feel safe while knowing that she was becoming very pleased with his part of the performance that they were each participating in.

“I know, Twilight,” he sighed to her while keeping his kisses on her neck before venturing further down to his new girlfriend's chest to give some gentle smooches to the small valley of cleavage that Twilight was presenting to her. But after a few smooches, his spine had shivered a little bit. But it was not from how hot he was feeling. It was something else. And Sterling then stopped to take a little breather as did Twilight. “But I take it that it's not just you who wants to become a part of the harem, correct?” he asked her, knowing that the same shiver was caused by a feeling that there was someone else who wished to be given the same attention.

"Quite correct, Sterling."

The familiar voice had not made him jump with fear. Instead, he only slowly let Twilight off of his lap, allowing the young Princess to compose herself after what had transpired between her and her new shared boyfriend. He had then felt the same shiver going through his whole body two more times before he turned his lips upward in a smile.

And right in front of his eyes stood three regal figures that had the same look of elated happiness that only a few women in his life were able to show him. The Princesses Celestia, Luna and Cadence had appeared before him. Before Sterling could even ask what it was that his equals were wishing to say to him, Twilight had stepped over to Celestia and gave her a small peck on her cheek, to which the Sun Princess gave the same kiss back.

“And I take it that all four of you,” he pointed to them with two fingers from each hand at them all, “have talked to Fluttershy before you turned in some royal application into the harem?” he asked them with his militant tone starting to come back.

“'Twas a week ago when we conversed with the fair lady Fluttershy about our desire to be with th-- you-- in your beautiful relationship, young Sterling,” Luna nodded to him with a cute smile.

“We all spoke to her about why we all want to be your loving ladies, along with what we can all pledge to you if you accept us into your harem,” Cadence spoke to him with her own smile to him.

“And if you do, we all promise to not take up too much of your time, Sterling. Nor will we deprive you of what you desire more than your title,” Celestia nodded lastly in her own vow.

Sterling could only lower his head to them, pointing a finger up to the four Princesses in front of him in a motion for the ladies to wait for his final decision. On the one side, if he were to say no, then it would have been more than likely that the women would find a way to take away his title and power just because he said 'no' to them all. Or worse, banish him to the sun or moon while taking him down to a weak Equian state beforehand. But if he were to say 'yes' to them all, then it would only be that much better for his kind and loving heart. And his heart had so desired, long before he was a grunt member of the Royal Elites, to at least have the chance to court them into his heart.

The Prince had then made his decision by giving the 'ahem!' noise to indicate to the women that he was ready to speak to them.

“Ladies?”

“Yes?” they all spoke at once.

"Meet me at the Golden Pint, in the VIP Lounge, after 7:00 PM. And you need only bring yourselves, though a disguise shouldn't be hard for you three to make," Sterling began to instruct Celestia, Luna and Cadence with. "The reason I say this is because.... All that I desire... is to see my new girlfriends uniting with my original girls. And also because we both do not want to cause a stir with the masses that will want to drink to their heart's content." A chuckle then gave way to a soft laugh that caused the royalty to laugh as softly as he did.

"Make ourselves incognito, Sterling?" Luna asked him with a brow raised up. "How so?" she asked on further after he nodded to her.

"Not your personalities, but your appearances," Sterling answered her briefly. "And take these slips; they'll allow you to enter the VIP room when you present them to Ernie and Bernie." Sterling then produced three slips of paper with a purple wax seal to make them look like official invitations. "The two bartenders are twin Equian brothers who switch their jobs around for each other, but if any of them see the slips, they'll gladly accommodate you to the room. You three will be fine," he explained to the women in front of him.

"But, uh... what about me?" Twilight asked him quickly.

"You won't need the paper, seeing that they allowed you in the first time around. Plus, there's also the fact that you're the resident Princess who had approved of the place before I became an Alicornian, so uh... yeah, you're allowed in at any time at all," he explained to her with a smile.

Twilight's heart nearly melted when she heard those last words as her face had turned a slight pink from blushing.

"Would it be so bad if I just kiss you right now? Eep!" Twilight squeaked as her hands covered her face cutely.

"No, it wouldn't. But did anyone tell you that you look cute when you make that face?" Sterling retorted to her with a smirk as he moved up to her.

"Uh... w-w-well.... Rarity and Fluttershy would say something like that, but not you," she answered him meekly.

"Then allow me to say... that you, and the other Princesses that are standing on this walkway with me, will undoubtedly make a fine addition to the Caliber harem," he smiled before moving his face close to hers as he pulled her close to himself.

"Thank you," she whispered before allowing Sterling to kiss her once again. Granted, it was not as hot as before, but the romance was still there in the smooches that were exchanged between them.

After Twilight had received her kiss, she was nearly immediately parted from him as Cadence had been pulled up slowly to him. There were no words to say, but even the Princess of Love was able to see in his eyes that even though he was not the father of her child, Sterling would do his absolute best in his part with helping her raise her child to become a great Princess. The kiss that took place, after staring into each other's souls for a moment, had become all the more passionate. And as he felt the powers of the Love Princess flow through him while kissing her, the fire in his heart grew wilder. And Cadence was able to feel the same power coursing through her, nearly causing her to faint from his affection.

When Luna stepped up to the plate, so to speak, Sterling had begun to administer the same caring emotion by kissing her deeply. With all that Sterling was going through, despite having only kissed two Princesses before, he had felt that the same Goddess of the Night had given him (subconsciously on her part) a reason to go wild with his kisses. Moments later, the man had parted from her, leaving a dreamy state in her mood. And Sterling had no regret with leaving her that happy.

And finally, it was Celestia's turn. It may have been true that she had lovers from centuries ago, but none of them had ever shown so much devotion. Not only to her co-ruled country, or to her subjects, but to themselves with the same care that she had felt would go through her from him. And Celestia decided to lower herself so that she would be at eye level with him before allowing her own regal face to be kissed by her new lover. Before she felt the kiss, the man had embraced her into his arms to lift her up back to her taller stature. Sterling was hovering above his normal height to meet her gaze. And just like that, she felt his lips on hers. And in Sterling's mind, he had once again felt (as he did with the other royal women that he kissed) that his world had ground to a halt on his command. And the same loving passion that he felt from her, as she with him, was even more intense than the last time that he felt this way. But he was able to realize that it was Celestia's true emotions that he had felt.

When Sterling parted from her, he placed his feet back on the ground and started to finally breath, not realizing that the whole experience of kissing the lips of four royal Alicornian women was more than intense. With the same quartet looking at him with dreamy eyes, he was able to find the word that was able to describe the entirety of the whole situation:

"That.... Was.... Epic...."
