"Nooo..." Luna tiredly pleaded, holding onto Ryan's arm to keep him from leaving the bed. "Come back and cuddle with me."

It's very difficult to say 'no' to cuddling with a mare as beautiful as Luna, especially when she was laying naked in the bed that they shared. However, Ryan was a man, he would not fall victim to her feminine charms! "I'm sorry, Luna. But, I promised to meet Dawn early today so we could actually hangout for once."

Luna grabbed the blanket covering her and threw it open. In her weary state of mind she was just silently begging for him to come back to bed. On the human's side though, she was completely exposing herself to him. Her body was as tempting as it was gorgeous. Maybe he could lay down for a few more minutes...

No, we must not be seduced!

Ryan shook all perversions from his head and pulled out of Luna's grip. She was reluctant to accept him leaving, but she would accept it. Honestly, she didn't know why he wanted so badly to spend time with the mare he was going to see. Her knowledge of her sister's guard was limited, so she knew nothing of this Dawn Breaker. Maybe she was fun to hangout with...maybe more fun than her...

Once that thought entered Luna's mind, it began to steadily grow. Maybe this mare was prettier than her, or even has been dropping hints that she would do things for him. She began to think about something, something that made her heart hurt. What if he was planning on sleeping with her?

Luna looked up to see her mate putting on a clean pair of clothes. He slid on his signature blue jeans, a white T-Shirt, and a red flannel jacket with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows. Her features started to fall as her mind continued to plague her with thoughts of insecurity and suspicion.

"Ryan," She spoke quietly, earning the now fully dressed human's attention. "I love you. You know that, right?"

He was honestly very confused with her saying this. Not really that she said it, but more of how she said it. It sounded almost as if she were extremely sad. Like in a way that a girl might act if she thought you were...

RED LIGHT!!!

Ryan couldn't help but chuckle a bit before walking over to the bed and placing a hand to his girlfriend's cheek. "Of course I do. And, I love you too." As honest as it was, he really hated saying 'I love you.' It just felt weird to him.

Once upon a time he didn't believe in love, but his feelings for her had grown to a level that only that word was capable of describing it. Luna knew that he didn't originally believe in love, and was patient with him when it came to saying it. She knew he still felt weird, but at the moment that only pushed her suspicions further. Maybe he didn't actually love her.

Her nerves suddenly relaxed as he placed a passionate kiss on her muzzle. The kind of kiss that told you that there was no way this person felt nothing for you. She could feel her suspicions for him subsiding, it wasn't him that she shouldn't trust. However, the mare he was going to see was a whole different story.

Ryan broke the kiss and gave her a warming look. "I have to go, okay. Have fun at work, tell your sis I said 'Hi', all that bullshit." Luna giggled at him, signifying that he was good to go.

He exited the room and closed the door before making his way down the hall. He spotted Celestia walking down toward the night wing of the castle, probably going to grab Luna so they could get started on the work day.

Celestia spotted Ryan and flashed a smile in his direction. Just as she was about to give a light wave and say hello, the human ran past her at a full sprint before yelling at her. "I fucked your sister!"

The mare froze in place, her eyes wide as she did so. Her face soon moved on to a deadpan expression and her horn started to light up. In the distance she could hear Ryan yelp as he fell to the floor.

"Ow...fuuuuuck!"

Celestia smiled triumphantly and continued making her way to Luna's room.

Even I knew that was just plain stupid

Dawn Breaker sat patiently at the bar within the Canterlot Pub. She had one hand placed upon the counter while the other was gripping a small glass filled with a clear liquid. She swallowed down the strong beverage before slamming it down on the wooden surface. "Another one."

The bartender nodded, grabbing a tall glass bottle labeled 'Everfree Vodka' and refilling her glass. Once it was filled his attention was drawn to the entrance as a strange creature with red stains going down its face entered. "Sir, are you alright?"

Dawn Breaker looked back to be met with the same sight, only she was able to recognize him quickly. Ryan walked over to the counter and took a seat beside her, the lower half of his face and a good majority of his hand covered in blood. "I'm fine. You got a towel?"

The stallion nodded and tossed the human a rag. "Thanks."

Ryan started whipping the blood from his hands first before moving on to his face. Dawn stared at him, slightly confused as to why he seemed to be bleeding so much. "What happened? You got into fight with small bunny?"

"Har-de-har-har." He mocked, lightly dabbing his nose with the rag. "No. Your, ever so lovely, sun god thought it would be funny to undo my shoe laces while I was running down the hall. Ended up making out with the floor pretty hard after that."

"Sounds fun. You do something to make her mad?" She asked, knowing the princess wouldn't do something like that unless provoked. She has been in the guard for a good couple of years now. And, although she doesn't know the princess personally, she does know about a select few of her quirks.

"No..."

LIAR!!!

Ryan finished cleaning himself off and tossed the rag into a nearby trash bin. The bartender then looked at him. "Can I get you anything sir?"

"Yeah, I'll take a glass of Bourbon."

"Pussy..." Dawn muttered, earning her a stern look from the human beside her.

"I will break my foot off in your ass, bitch."

Celestia could do nothing but watch as her sister ran around her room. She was practically tearing it apart, looking for something. "What do you mean you want to take the day off?"

"I mean, I want to take the day off." She replied, soon finding an outfit she could wear without being noticed.

This was confusing to the sun goddess. The second she walked in here she found Luna digging around in Ryan's drawers and pulling out a number of his clothes, then she started demanding to have the day off without so much as looking at her. "I understand that, but why?"

The night princess quickly started slipping on some of the human's clothes. "Because I want to make sure that mare isn't going to try anything with my mate...and that he won't allow her to do so either."

Now the pieces were starting to come together. Celestia's face soon put on a knowing smirk. "Okay, I see where this is going. You're jealous."

Luna paused just as she was about to put a shirt on before turning to face her sister. "I am not jealous, I am just being cautious." She slipped the shirt on then moved on to grabbing a pair of old shoes.

"Sister, don't you think you're overreacting a bit. I thought you trusted Ryan."

She paused again, trying to find the right words. "O-of course I do, I trust my mate completely. It's that mare I don't trust." Luna finished getting dressed and looked over herself in a mirror. She was now wearing a black T-shirt and a pair of black cargo pants. "This should do."

Luna's horn became illuminated and soon her whole body became engulfed in a bright light, causing Celestia to squint her eyes a bit. When the light was gone, her sister looked different. Her mane was straight, as it had completely lost its magical flow, and was black as night. Her fur was a darker shade of blue, and her wings were gone. Lastly, her massive chest had become smaller, as did the roundness of her flank. If Celestia hadn't just watched her sister transform she would have sworn she was a completely different mare.

"There, now he shouldn't recognize me." She said, pulling out an assortment of fake piercings and clipping them on to her ears and lip.

Celestia knew very well that Luna had done this before, she had caught her in the act several times. It was actually a pretty clever idea. She would never admit this to her little sister, but she had even done it a few times. It was nice to get away from the castle every now and again. It was a way to kick back and just enjoy herself.

"Luna," Celestia began, "I will humor you this once, because I know that by the time this is over, you will regret ever doubting him."

Luna rolled her eyes at her older sister as she put on the finishing touches to her face. The piercings were done, so all that was left was to add a touch of dark blue eye-liner and black lipstick. "Perfect."

"~I can’t stay with you for nothing, only a crazy man would

But I still can never leave you

Cause you look…"

Ryan waited for the beat to catch up, then kicked up his speed tenfold. The shirtless human had gotten intoxicated to the point that he decided to jump onto the counter and sing. He even grabbed Dawn and pulled her up with him. The crowd began cheering as he went on with the song. He was actually a bit surprised that they were enjoying it so much, most of the ponies in this town were usually a bunch of snobs.

"Got it in an act when you been breaking my back

You give it to me, give it to me

I ain’t giving it back

Get a text from my ex wondering what's up with that

And I reminisce of this of eatin' up a kitty cat

Seen the pickin', pick a time on the flow

And I wish that Crystal walk out the door

Do her thing and just about ready to go

But she kiss me, now I can’t eat for sho

And you know…"

The beat slowed down a bit and Ryan followed suit, couldn't be fucking up the show by improvising. That would just be a dick move. He was really enjoying the attention up here.

"~Your love is like schizophrenia

And I be like a-ya-ya-ya

Don’t know what done got into ya

Maybe I try ya-ya-ya

Your love is like schizophrenia

And I be like a-ya-ya-ya

I’ll be your strait jacket, hold you tight

Maybe then you’ll be alright now."

Ryan looked over at Dawn and tossed her the mic. She caught it, despite her intoxication, but she wasn't as far gone as Ryan. She held the mic up to her lips and began singing along to the song. She had no idea where the lyrics were coming from, but what she was saying just felt right.

"You make me mad, you make me...

You make me...crazy!

You make me mad, you make me...

Make me say!"

Feeling as though it was the end of her verse, she tossed the mic back to Ryan who continued to just throw lyrics out as if he knew them all by heart. In all honesty, he did.

I never would have guessed...

"This is the drug I will be talkin' about.

Delivery… love you

This is the drug I will be talkin' about.

Delivery… love you"

The beat ended and Ryan dropped the microphone before hopping off of the counter. The crowd was cheering like crazy, but he ignored them and held a hand out to Dawn. She took it and made her way off of the counter as well. "Such a gentlecolt."

What surprised Dawn was, not only that Ryan was able to sing so well, but that the bartender was letting the two of them stand on the counter to sing. No pony even cared when Ryan had, at some point, taken his shirt off and thrown it into the crowd. She couldn't help but laugh at this.

"I try." He said with a smirk. His attention was then drawn to a stallion who was coming up behind Dawn. "You know this guy?"

Dawn put on a confused expression before following Ryan's gaze to the stallion that was now standing just a few inches behind her. He was just a bit taller than her, his body was covered in orange fur, and his mane was an ugly shade of green. It almost looked like seaweed. "Can I help you?"

He wore a very unsettling smile on his face. "Actually, you can. You see, I saw you on the counter singing and dancing and I just thought-"

His words were cut off as the red mare lifted a finger to his face. She knew where this was going and wasn't interested. "I am sorry, friend, but I will pass."

The stallion's smile turned into a very angry frown. He took a step forward, but stopped when the shirtless human behind the mare stepped in between them. "Back up, buddy. You don't wanna piss me off, trust me."

He scoffed at the creature and reached a hand out, placing it on his shoulder and lowing himself a bit so they were eye level. "Listen here, punk; Either you can move out of my way or I'll snap you in half in front of all of these nice ponies."

Ryan was ready to unleash hell on this overgrown prick, but stopped when he heard an unfamiliar voice speak up from behind him. "Is there something wrong here, baby?"

He turned around to see a dark blue unicorn mare with a jet black mane standing beside Dawn with an arm around her.

...what!?

The mare grabbed Dawn's muzzle and pulled it so she would be looking directly at her. Once their eyes met she leaned in and kissed her on the lips, causing Ryan's jaw to drop a bit as his eyes scanned the mare.

While his attention was stuck on the two the stallion pushed past Ryan and placed a hand on both mares. They separated, Dawn looking at the mare in confusion while she stared up at the stallion. "Well, this is definitely going to be allot more fun now."

Luna gave the stallion a dirty look before reaching up and grabbing the him by the balls, using her alicorn strength to literally crush them through his pants.

His hands fell from the mares and he dropped to the ground with am 'oof', holding his, more than likely popped, cranberries.

Damn, she fucked him up with one hand!

The mare's attention moved from the stallion to the human, then to Dawn. "So, how about I buy us a few rounds?"

The three sat at a small table with mugs of hard cider in front of them and discussed the events that had just taken place. It was a bit out of no where and left them all confused, minus the mystery mare.

"I could tell you didn't want anything to do with the guy, so I tried to play the lesbian lover card." She explained, "Usually it works, but he was much more persistent than I anticipated. It just seemed like the best course of action."

Dawn was put at ease now that she knew why the mare had randomly come up and kissed her. It may have been weird, but she was just trying to help. "I appreciate your assistance, miss..."

"Moonlight."

"Well, thank you for your help, Moonlight. If you'll excuse me, I must find mare's room." Dawn rose from her seat and walked off to find the bathroom, leaving Ryan and Moonlight to their own devices.

Moonlight leaned on the table and gave Ryan a look that almost seemed flirtatious. "Quite the mare you got there."

Ryan shrugged with a light smile plastered on his face. "Yeah, she's pretty cool. Just wish I could hangout with her more." He grabbed his mug and took a swig of the cider before placing it back on the table.

"Really now?" Her curiosity was going nuts. Why does he want to see her so much. "Why is that? You looking to have a little fun with her?"

His eyes widened and he waved his hands out defensively. "Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!...Slow down there. No, I don't. I'm in a committed relationship, okay. The last thing I wanna do is fuck that up."

This brought some comfort to Luna, but she has to keep playing the role she was in. "Come on, you're telling me you don't want a piece of that even a little bit? Be honest here."

His expression went from defensive to very stern. "I am. I like Dawn, she's a great friend and a cool pony. But, I don't have those kind of feelings for her."

"Hmm, what's so special about this mare you're with?" She wasn't sure why she asked this, maybe she was just becoming insecure. She was curious as to how he would respond though.

Ryan had to think about this for a minute before answering. "Honestly, I can't think of one thing in particular. I mean, everything about her is just so fucking great! Her eyes, her mane, that sassy attitude she has. She's everything I've looked for in a partner and more. One of my favorite qualities about her is her strength. She's strong both inside and out. I can literally fight this woman and she'll beat the hell outta me in response." He laughed a bit as he recalled the memories of their sparing. "But most of all, I love the fact that she's honest with me. Not once has she ever lied to my face. And I know that no matter what, she's always gonna be there for me."

It took Luna everything she had to hold in her emotions. She wanted so badly to just leap over the table and tackle him into a hug. She should have known better than to do this, she should have just trusted that he wouldn't let anything happen. Celestia was right, she feels like a total jackass now.

"Even now, she's here for me. She kept me from likely getting my ass beat by that stallion, and now we're having a few drinks together." He watched as Moonlight's expression suddenly changed to pure shock.

"I-I umm, I don't, I..." Luna was at a complete loss for words. "H-how!?"

"Oh, please." He said with a shit-eating grin. "I could tell it was you from the start. A; I can literally feel when you're near me. And b;" He paused for a moment then pointed to her leg. "There's a bleach stain on the left leg of those pants you're wearing."

She looked down to her left leg. He was right, there was a brown spot that seemed to be imprinted on the dark material. Clearly it didn't belong there, and there was no way it could be something as simple as dirt.

"Yeah, I know my clothes. Those are the pants I was wearing back in my world when I went down to Florida to help my grandfather after he had surgery. I had to bleach this plastic pond he had in his back yard and ended up splashing myself with the shit."

Luna looked back up at him and smiled. "I don't really see how that part is relevant if you can feel whenever I am around."

"I was a little distracted at first. The pants were the first thing I noticed that gave you away." He started laughing she rolled her eyes at him and flipped him off. It was weird to him that ponies had no idea what it meant when he did that. He had to actually explain it to Luna and she started using it allot. Not as much as him, but it would pop up from time to time. "So, what brings you out here, sweetheart? Couldn't stand going without me for so long?"

"You're so full of yourself." She commented, her face turning to a frown as she lowered her gaze and prepared herself to answer him. "I came out here to watch over you."

"Jealous much?"

Her eyes darted back up to him. It was starting to get on her nerves how he is finding all of this out so quickly. "How did you-"

"I might be new to this whole magic thing, but I told you, I can feel it. Anything that's going on with you, I can just barely pick up on it as long as I'm really focusing."

Luna took a deep breath and finally asked what has been bothering her this entire time. "So, you don't have feelings for Dawn?"

Ryan shrugged, "I don't know. I mean, she is pretty cute. And that accent, oh my Satan! I wanna fuck her throat!"

"Ryan!"

The human started laughing like a mad-man at Luna as her face turned red with frustration. "I'm just kidding, chill out." He calmed down and cleared his throat, still smiling at her. "No, I have no interest in Dawn. And hell, if you don't believe me, go ahead and check."

"Excuse me?"

"You're more connected to magic than I am. If I can tell when you're feeling jealous, then you should be able to tell if I'm lying and if I have any feelings for her. So go ahead." He leaned back in the chair and waited. He wouldn't admit this out loud, but it was actually a bit bothersome that she actually thought he was just going to go out and mess around with Dawn. It almost made him feel like she didn't trust him.

Luna was tempted to do as he said to make sure that he wasn't lying, but she didn't need to. She could tell by looking into his eyes that he was telling the truth, she could also tell that he was a little upset with her. For the second time in the past five minutes, she felt like a complete jackass. "No, I will not."

"What?" Ryan seemed genuinely shocked by this.

She nodded at him and smiled. "I don't need to. I can tell that you mean what you say, without even digging through the bond we share. I love you Ryan, and I trust you completely."

The human smiled at his mate and before too much longer Dawn came back to see the two staring blankly at each other and smiling. She audibly cleared her throat to catch their attention. "I am not interrupting something, am I?" She asked with a hard gaze, her arms crossed as she spoke.

Ryan looked up at Dawn and nodded, "Nope, just spending time with a friend is all." He pushed Dawn's chair out from the table with his foot. "Care to join?"
