It had been several days since the party and the incident with Rainbow’s Ex, said ex had managed to escape being imprisoned due to the pegasus bribing the judge and jury before vanishing without a trace. Rainbow was completely distraught about the matter and temporarily moved her house above Vadik’s for protection, much to Vadik shock about a house made of clouds… and the fact that he had no Idea how he was suppose to help look after her when she lived a hundred metres above him.

       Apart from that, Trixie awoke finally and had a mini panic attack when she encountered the now free Nightmare and managed to knock herself out on the front door. The day after, Vadik was greeted by Pip and his friends, who decided that Vadik should be apart of their little club as he didn’t have a butt tattoo or what they called a Cutie mark which Vadik honestly didn't care either way save for the odd times where they dragged him off for an adventure for him to gain his mark, even though he explained several times that he doesn't get one as he was human.

          “Hey um… Mr Vadik?” A voice called causing the man, who at that moment was sharpening one of his swords, to look up to see a pair of mares standing before him, one was a light cream earth pony mare with a pink and blue mane who wore a tan cardigan and jeans while the other was a mint coloured unicorn mare with a green mane that had a white strip down at who wore a green hoodie and blue shorts, both seemed to either be wearing strong perfume or something because Vadik couldn't smell it before the mares arrived.

       “Yes Bon Bon?” Vadik asked the mare whom he met the day before when the Cutie Mark crusaders dragged him into her store. “And skip the mr part” he added.

          “Right, sorry, um this is my roommate Lyra Heartstrings” She said pointing to the Unicorn who seemed to be breathing very rapidly while her eyes scanned him from head to toe.

           “Ah yes, the human ‘fanatic” He said standing causing the Unicorn mare’s eyes to widen as she saw how big he was.

            “Yes… well seeing as Everypony is talking about you… you cashing in the bets they placed against her, i thought it best to introduce you both” Bon Bon said as she looked to the shocked Unicorn.

              “Well it is a pleasure to meet you ms Heartstrings” He said offering his hand.

               “y… bu… oh my” Lyra said before fainting.

             “Well that was unexpected” Vadik said as he watched Bon Bon pick the mare up.

              “Yea I thought she would react differently, oh and I heard that Twilight and her friends want to see you at Lotus and Aloe’s place” She said as Vadik nodded before entering the house only to return with a different top on and a bag of coin.

                “Okay so… who is Aloe and Lotus?” Vadik asked.

                “Um just follow me and I will take you to their spa” She said which Vadik agreed before they began their way to Ponyville the smell he picked up on before seemed to be growing stronger the closer they were to the town.

                 “Alright and any idea why they want to see me?” Vadik asked.

                  “Um something about helping you relax” Bon Bon shrugged.

                  “Um okay then” Vadik said as the pair soon arrived at the spa.

                   “Okay so just head inside while I take Lyra home and hopefully we can try this again and not get the same result” Bon Bon said before walking off with said mare.

                      “Okay… so today is already weird and it's what no even midday?” he asked himself as he entered the large building only to have his senses bombarded with a variety of an overwhelming musk which nearly made him gag “Holy Shit” He groaned as he did his best to breath out his mouth while he approached the front counter before noticing that no one was present. So he simply called out loudly only to get no response making him concerned save for when he noticed a slightly opened door.

       “Shh girls, he is out there, it's only a matter of seconds before his curiosity gets to him” a familiar voice said barely audible which caused Vadik to smirk and exit the spa before walking to the market.

         “Um Twilight, your little plan didn't work” Rarity said as she came out of her hiding place.

           “Celestia damn it” She said with a frown.

(Ponyville Market)

             As Vadik walked through the marketplace, he couldn't help the feeling of dread as he looked around, several things didn't add up, firstly, where the fuck did all the guys go? Secondly, why hadn't the strong smell get worse the further he got into town? and Thirdly, why was nearly every mare looking at him funny?

         “Vadik my boy!” A voice called out to him causing him to turn and see his Changeling friend at his stall waving his hands to get his attention.

          “Chappy what's wrong?” Vadik asked as he walked over concerned Changeling.  

           “You, that's What's wrong!” He exclaimed.

             “What did I do? I haven't killed anyone recently” Vadik said as Chappy took a second to take in the information before shaking his head.

               “No you fool, You just walked into a major earth pony town at the start of their heat!” Chappy said.

                 “And that is a bad thing?” Vadik asked not understanding the dilemma.

                  “Yes, you know that this town has the worse male to female ratio out of the world?” Chappy asked.

                   “Wait what's wrong with the ratio?” Vadik asked.

                    “You have got to be kidding me, Look just…” The Changeling was just about to say something when a loud ear piercing scream was heard causing Vadik to instinctively turn his head to the sound to see several stallions run passed with a few dozen mares chasing them.

                     “What the fuck kind of race is that?” Vadik asked as Chappy face palmed.

                      “How can you be so dense?” Chappy asked.

                      “I try my best to be so” Vadik chuckled causing the Changeling to groan.

                       “Just find somewhere to hide out until the heat season is over” He advised.

                     “Wait then why are you not hiding?” Vadik asked as Chappy gave him a deadpanned look before he was surrounded in green flames briefly before revealing a female version of himself. “Oh right, well I guess I better get going because of pony heat which I don't understand” He said before he began to walk towards the forest.

         “It should be over in a couple weeks” Chappy called out as Vadik gave him the thumbs up as he walked, the man was grateful that the stench weakened as he moved away from the town.

         “Got to look up what heat is next time I'm at Twilight’s cause those pony anatomy books didn't mention a single thing about it” He groaned before getting an idea. “Why not just grab the book now?” He asked himself as he looked around and saw that Twilight’s castle was on the other side of town. “Shit, fuck that” He said before continuing on his journey before stopping again at the forests edge as a gust of wind blew passed him. “Blue?” He asked.

         “How did you know it was me?” Rainbow Dash asked as she floated down from a cloud she just darted to.

        “Oh I just guessed” He said before taking in her appearance, which seemed like her usual gear for flying but why was she sweating so much. “Hey are you alright?” He asked as he took a step towards her only to stop when he was stuck by a bitter blueberry smell.

       “Oh nothing, just you know… practicing tricks and that” She said as her wings ruffled frequently.

       “Right, well I hope you are having fun” He said as he went to step passed her but she grabbed his arm causing him to cock an eyebrow.

         “Wait… I… I new your help… the girls and I need your help” She said nervously.

            “With what?” He asked her as she briefly looked left and then right.

               “Our heat is bad this year and we need your help to relieve it” She said as he cocked his eye again. “You know, buck us” She said.

              “No way in hell” He said jerking his free of her grip and began walking down the path to his home.

               “If this is because we aren't the same species, then don't worry it isn't look down here, Buck my step dad is a griffon” She said following him.

               “It isn't that you are a different species, i have relations with other races” He said to her as she flew in front of him and grabbed his top.

                “Okay then, if it's cause you think it will ruin our friendship, then don't its just casual sex… that is if you want it to go somewhere then I wouldn't mind” She said with a shrug.

                “No, there is no such th I as casual sex between friends” He said as he moved passed her.

                 “Then we could try something, you know a relationship” She offered causing the man to stop and her to smirk.

                  “Fuck no, i don't want to see you die because of me” He said before he began walking again but Dash simply stood their in shock of what he just said to her for a moment before shaking it off and flying towards him and stopping him once again.

                   “What do you mean?” She asked him.

                    “Simple, everyone I have a  serious relationship with or love dies because of me, either I am not strong enough to protect them or not fast enough to save them” He sighed “So just let this drop Blue” He said as he tried to step passed her again before he was punched in the shoulder by the mare.

           “I won't drop this, you can't live this way anymore cause you don't live in that place anymore, not only that, i .can protect myself and I am the fastest pony in Equestria” She said crossing her arms.

             “Why do you care so much about this anyway?” he asked her quietly.

             “Because you are not like any other stallion I have met, before I met you, i didn't let any guy close but after what you did for me with Soarin, you showed me that there was at least one I could allow close enough” she said as the man sighed. “How about just giving one more relationship a go before give up on them completely?” She asked as the man took a deep breath and nodded his head.

       “Fine what ever” He sighed.

        “Pinkie Promise?” She asked.  

        “Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cup cake in my eye” He said with a soft smile before she hugged him.

         “You won't regret this” She said smiling.

          “I hope so” He groaned before grabbing his hand and attempted to fly with him only resulting in the two crashing several metres away. “Ow” He groaned.

           “Okay maybe I'll bring the girls here” She said be for taking off and flying away.

            “What did I just agree to?” he asked as Nightmare came outside to see Vadik laying on the ground.

             “Having fun?” She asked with a giggle as he flipped her off before getting up. “I just wanted to warn you that the mares will he active and aggressive due to them being in heat” She warned.

          “You dont say” He said sacrasticly.

           “Well anyway, i recommend you do somewhere to hide before the mares come for you” She warned as Vadik simply stood up, walked over to her and flicked her on the nose.

          “And haven't you become queen horny butt?” He asked her.

           “Because I have my he at the start of spring, not at the start of autumn which is the one going on right now.” She explained “So as i said better find a good hi do place before they realise that you are here” She advised.

       “Too late” He said as he simply walked over to the house.

        “What do you mean?” She as him.

         “Well if you warned me earlier then maybe they wouldn't be coming here right now” He groaned bed of entering the house.

           “Oh” She said before entering the house also “Well how are you going to get out of this?” She asked as she watched him fill up a large bucket full of water.

             “What I use to do to the other mercenaries in my band when they were trying shit with locals” He said before placing his hand into the water and rapidly cooled it.

               “You were In a band of mercenaries?” She asked curiously as she sat at the table.

                “Yea around when I was sixteen, as my clan encouraged us to undergo a right passage to see the world and face what ever It through

threw at us, and seeing as my mother was ex mercenary, she contacted her old band and asked if they could take me under their wing” He said as a soft smile crossed his face before sighing. “Worse thing I ever did with my life” he added before a series of loud knocks so Vadik picked up the bucket filled with freezing water. “Mind getting the door?” he asked Moon who nodded and joined him by the door.

      “This is a bad idea” She warned him but he shrugged. “Okay don't say I didn't warn you” She said as she opened the door before stepping back.

       “Hey V… ahh what the Buck!” Rainbow screamed out as her and her friends were covered in water. “Why?” She asked.

       “Cause I agreed to a relationship not a six on one” He said with a smirk.

       “But now we have to take off our wet clothes so we don't get a and we have nothing to replace it with” Rarity said.

      “Fuck” Vadik groaned.
