Scootaloo was out in an old t-shirt and buck ball shorts. She was in the rocky field and digging up gems to help out Rarity. This wasn’t exactly where she wanted to be spending her Saturday, but Rarity was paying her and she wasn’t about to leave a friend hanging. It’s not like she had a special somepony to spend it with anyway. She continued to chip away at the hard ground and felt a sheen of sweat covering her.

“She’s not paying me enough for this...” she mumbled to herself, bringing her pickaxe down again. All of a sudden, the ground beneath her gave out, revealing a tunnel. Scootaloo let out a hiss of pain, feeling her wings scrape against the rock as she fell. “Son of a bitch!” she seethed, landing on her back with a thud. She grunted, pulling herself to a sitting position. She looked over her shoulder and winced at the sight of her mangled wings.

“I don’t think I’m flying out of here.” She got to her hooves, bracing herself against the wall. “Hey!!! Rarity!!!” she shouted, looking at the hole above her. Her voice echoed off the cavern walls. She waited for a few moments, but didn’t seem to get a response. “Seriously!? Hello!” Her voice echoed again. This time though, she heard a faint sound coming from further down the tunnel.

“Who's there!?” she demanded, bringing herself into a fighting stance. The sound continued to get louder until she saw a figure approaching from the darkness. Eventually, she recognized it as a diamond dog if the pawed legs on the silhouette were anything to go by. “What do you want?”

“I came to see what all the noise was about,” the dog replied, a male if the voice was anything to go by. He came up to her and let her get a good look at him.

“What ya gonna steal my gems or somethin’?” Scootaloo narrowed her eyes, said gems littering the ground around her.

“No, the village stopped doing that years ago,” the dog replied with a shake of his head. “Something about a white unicorn some of the older dogs kidnapped years back. I don’t know all the details, I was pretty young when it happened.”

“Then whaddya want?”

“Well, now that I’m seeing you it looks like you need those wings to be patched up.” He then picked her up, being mindful of her broken wings.

“H-hey!” she squirmed, trying to get down.

“Can you calm down?” He asked with a sigh. “After a fall like that you’re in no condition to walk.”

“Fine,” she huffed, crossing her arms, “But you better not try anything, I’ll kick your ass!”

“So you don’t want me to take you so you can bear my pups?” He asked with a cheeky smile. She growled, clenching a fist. “Yeesh, it was a joke.” He carried her down the tunnel, doing his best to keep her steady.

“It wasn’t funny. At all.”

“I dunno, I thought it was,” he said. “Seems we’ll have to agree to disagree.”

She rolled her eyes, glaring at the rocks they passed.

“Is there a reason why you’re giving rocks the stinkeye?” he asked, his face remaining fixed on the tunnel.

“I dunno fleabag, my wings are broken!”

“Oh wow, calling the guy trying to help you a racial slur, how cute,” he said, a flat look on his face.

“I’m not racist!” Scootaloo blurted out, looking at him with wide eyes.

“Didn’t say you were, but fleabag is still a slur,” he replied.

She opened her mouth to speak, only to fall silent after a few stutters.

“Look, it’s not a big deal,” he huffed. “You’re in a ton of pain and the darkness is making your fight or flight instincts kick in. You’re not thinking straight.”

“Whatever...” Scootaloo muttered, a little deflated.

“Why don’t you tell me your name?” he suggested. “Unless you just want me to call you pony.”

“Scootaloo.”

“Nice to meet you Scootaloo, I’m Rex.”

“Nice to meet you...” she mumbled out. Rex continued to carry her in silence until he reached a carved out room full of medical supplies. He sat her down on a stone table and grabbed a few of them.

“I’m not gonna lie, this’ll hurt.”

“W-what are you gonna do?” she asked, watching him closely.

“I gotta set your wings and put them in a splint,” Rex answered. “Otherwise the bones won’t heal properly.”

“Oh...” she gulped, averting her eyes.

“So, what’s your favorite color?” Rex asked, his hands reaching toward her wings.

“Uh.. blue...” she blinked, a bit confused by the sudden change in topics. Then she cried out as he pulled her wings back into alignment and put them in a splint.

“I’ve heard it hurts less if the patient is distracted.”

“T-that was a dick move...” she mumbled, her body trembling.

“I’m just doing my job,” Rex replied. “But how about this, you can punch me in the arm for payback.”

“What... you a doctor or somethin?” she asked, weakly socking him in the arm.

“Yup, I’m the best doctor my people have seen in a long time,” Rex said as he took a seat.

“Is that why you talk in complete sentences?”

“That’s part of it,” he replied with a chuckle. “But the village has been steadily improving since that unicorn incident. Don’t be too surprised if the rest of my village sounds like me in a couple years.”

“I’m sorry I said that thing before...” Scootaloo mumbled, looking at the floor.

“I already said it wasn’t a big deal,” he said. “I wouldn’t exactly be pleasant to be around either if my legs were broken.”

“Rarity’s probably worried sick about me right now,” she laughed, flinching as she adjusted her wings.

“Hold on a second.” Rex put two fingers in his mouth and let out a shrill whistle. In a matter of moments another diamond dog appeared. “There’s a pony on the surface, tell them their friend is down here and is safe.”

“Just to let you know, she's the unicorn your village kidnapped,” Scootaloo added. The other dog nodded and rushed off.

“There we go, now your friend can pick you up and take you home,” Rex said, stretching out.

“Heh, you're a pretty nice guy.” Scootaloo said, looking him over.

“It’s why I became a doctor.” He shrugged. “Cave ins aren’t all that uncommon, someone’s gotta know how to patch up the injuries.”

“Did you go to school?”

“Yeah, I did.” He nodded. “It was a small one not too far from Ponyville. I stuck out among all the pony students. But, I got my degree.” He pointed at the wall where his diploma was displayed. “What do you do?” he asked, gesturing to her hip.

“Believe it or not, I’m actually a counselor,” she admitted, rubbing her neck.

“What kind of counselor?”

“I help ponies understand their cutie marks. Been doing it even before I got mine.”

“Sounds like both of us found a calling in helping others,” Rex noted with a smile.

“That is pretty cool,” she agreed, smiling back at him.

“So, do you have someone special in your life?” he asked. “Pretty mare like you has to be taken.”

“Me?” She shook her head. “Nah, I’m single. You?”

“I’m single too,” he said. “The females here aren’t really good for holding conversations.”

“What do they just bark at ya or somethin?”

“Nah, they’re just like the other dogs.” He chuckled. “I just happened to be born smarter than your average diamond dog.”

“Well I’m glad you were, otherwise I’d still be stuck in that tunnel, in the dark.”

“I am too,” he said. “Improving the quality of life here is worth some lonely nights.”

“Hey um...” Scootaloo started, her face darkening with a blush.

“Hmm, what is it?” Rex asked, looking at her with a clueless expression.

“Would you... I dunno, like to hang out some time..?”

“I’d like that,” he replied, a large grin on his face. “I’m guessing you’d wanna meet on the surface?”

“If that's okay with you.” She nodded quickly.

“Yeah, there’s a lot more to do and see up there. Well, unless you like rocks.” He waved a hand around and chuckled.

Scootaloo giggled, shaking her head. “When are you free?”

“My schedule is usually pretty open. None of the others like to come in for regular check ups. So I’m only needed for emergencies.”

“Sweet.” Scootaloo beamed at him. “I’m free Wednesday.”

“I’ll see you then,” Rex said. “I’ll take a flea bath and everything.”

Scootaloo cringed. “You’re not gonna let that go are you?”

“Eventually I will,” he replied with a chuckle. “Just not today.”

“I deserve that.” she nodded. “Thanks for helping me out.”

“I told you, it’s my job,” he waved off. “I’m under oath to help the injured.”

“Still though.” She slid off the table, a little wobbly on her hooves. He stood up and helped steady her.

“Easy there, can’t stand up too quickly in your condition.”

“Thanks.” she blushed harder, holding onto him.

“Don’t mention it,” he said, an oblivious smile on his face.

“So... wanna show me around or somethin?” she asked, looking up at him.

“Sure, I can show you around the village,” he said. He slowly led her out of his office and further down the tunnel. She leaned on him, letting him guide her through the dark. Eventually, the tunnel opened up to a large chamber with buildings carved into the walls.

“Woah! I had no idea this stuff was down here!” Scootaloo gasped, her eyes darting to and throe.

“Yeah, we may not look like it, but we’re pretty good at making stone structures,” Rex said, watching her head whip around with an amused look.

“And the ceiling never comes down on you guys?

“We take precautions for that,” he assured her.

“Pillars and stuff?”

"Exactly.” He smiled. “Plus evacuation tunnels in every building.”

“That’s pretty smart.”

“We’ve learned to survive down here, that’s all. Just like ponies learned to control
weather,” he said.

“Don’t you ever miss seeing the sky?” Scootaloo asked, dumbfounded that anyone could live without it.

“My species is meant to live underground.” He shrugged. “Plus, I go out and look at the sky every now and then.”

“I don’t know if I could live down here.” She shuddered, flexing her wings. This caused her to wince.

“No, you’re meant to fly.” He chuckled. “This place is a nightmare for pegasi and griffons.”

“I can see why.”

“Yeah, pegasi and griffons are more prone to being claustrophobic,” Rex stated.

“Totally...” she nodded, staring up at the ceiling.

“Would you like me to keep showing you around?” he asked.

“Uh... yeah.” she nodded, snapping her attention back to him. He helped lead her through the village, pointing out the landmarks along the way. “Got an interesting place,” she remarked, resting her head on his shoulder.

“Yeah, it’s an alright place. Though the surface has it beat,” he said.

“Don’t like your hometown?” she teased.

“You try going from a stone pillow to a feather one,” he replied, chuckling. “It’s mind blowing.”

“You sleep on rocks?” she asked in utter disbelief.

“I’d show you my room, but I’d hate to send the wrong signal,” he replied.

“Why not just buy some bed stuff from Ponyville?” she questioned.

“Oh, I’ve got normal pillows now, trust me.” He laughed. “I wasn’t going back after that kind of comfort.”

“Okay good.” She smiled, closing her eyes. “I was worried about you.”

“The one with the broken wings is worried about someone else.” Rex chuckled and shook his head.

“I worry about other people for a living,” she reminded him.

“True, and so do I so you got me there.” He smiled at her.

“So, now where to?” she asked.

“We could sit at my place until Rarity picks you up,” he suggested, leading her to a building.

“Sounds good to me.” she nodded, letting him lead her again. He took her inside one of the stone houses. Scootaloo noted the sparse decorations.

“Sorry that it’s not as cozy as a pony home,” he said, sitting her down on an old sofa.

“Don’t worry about it.” She smiled, moving around until she was certain her wings wouldn’t be bothered. He disappeared into another room and came back with two glasses of water. He handed her one and sat on the other side of the couch. “Oh thanks! I didn’t even realize I was thirsty!”

“Well, you are still my patient, can’t let you dehydrate on me,” he said, sipping his water.

“You're a great doc.” She threw her head back, downing her water in one quick gulp.

“Thanks, it was a lot of work going to med school, but I’m glad I did it.” He took her glass and quickly brought her another.

“Tell me about it, I had to go get a license for me to practice.”

“Heh, you should’ve seen the looks on the ponies faces where I did my residency,” Rex said with a shake of his head. “Their eyes nearly popped out of their skulls at the sight of a diamond dog in scrubs.”

“Ooh! You should’ve taken pictures! I’d pay to see that!”

“Gimme a sec.” He disappeared into another room again and returned with a framed photo. “There we go, this is from my last day as a resident. The rest of the staff took it so I could have a momento.”

“Oh sweet.” she sat up, taking the picture from him.

“Yeah, I don’t think I’m very photogenic,” he said with a weak chuckle.

“Dude you look great, stop putting yourself down.”

“Hey, I’ve only had my picture taken a few times. Sorry if I’m self conscious.” She rolled her eyes, gazing at his picture.

“I think you look great in uniform.”

“Thanks, I still have the scrubs,” he said, jabbing his thumb in the direction of his room. “I normally wear them while I work.”

“Why don’t you model em for me?” she asked, giving him a half lidded look.

“Sure,” he said, getting up and walking to his room. He came back in his teal scrubs and stood in front of the couch. “Well, here it is.”

“Ooh.” Scootaloo gestured for him to turn around. “Looking good over there Rex.”

“Thanks,” he said as he did a slow turn.

“Ya know, I grew up with the Wonderbolts as some of my heroes. I love a stallion in uniform.” she grinned, winking at him.

“Too bad I’m not a stallion,” he said, waving a hand over himself.

“Same diff.” She gestured dismissively.

“Well, there’s a big difference between this and the Wonderbolts uniform.” He tugged on his scrubs. “This isn’t quite as form fitting.”

“Did I say that was a problem?” she asked, raising her eyebrow.

“I was just commenting.” He shrugged and sat back down. She moved into his lap, straddling him. He blinked, taken by surprise. “What are you doing?”

“We both like each other right?” she asked, looking into his eyes.

“Yeah, you’ve been fun to talk to,” he said, a small blush on his face.

“And we’re both adults.” She leaned in, nuzzling his neck. His body stiffened up, taken by surprise by her action.

“True…”

“Unless, you’d rather not...” she kept his gaze, pulling away.

“Well I… w-what I mean to say is… I-I’ve never…” He let the sentence hang, a blush exploding onto his entire face.

“Really? A big, strong alpha like you?” she chuckled, putting her hand on his chin. His black and brown fur was more red now and his tall, pointed ears were twitching a bit, as was his long snout.

“Well, I never really felt emotionally attracted to the female dogs. And diamond dogs aren’t exactly popular on the surface.”

“Lucky for you, I got some experience.” She slid her hands under his shirt, feeling his muscles. He shivered at her touch, his long, thin tail slowly thumping against the back of the sofa. “Ya know, usually it's the girl who likes having their tits felt up,” she teased.

“Forgive me for reacting to a pretty mare touching and straddling me,” he retorted. His hands slowly went under her t shirt and gently squeezed her modest sized breasts.

“Oooh...” she moaned, breathing out into his ear. This seemed to give him confidence as he continued to knead her breasts. “Damn your hands are big.”

“They’re made for digging through even the toughest rock,” he said, licking her cheek as he squeezed her breasts.

“I bet they can do a lot more than that.” she winked, locking lips with him. He tilted his head into the kiss and started to tug on her nipples. She moaned into the kiss, pressing against him. He removed one of his hands from her breast, snaking it down her shorts and rubbing his smallest digit against her folds. “Oh yeah...” she moaned before letting out a wince, her wings trying to extend.

“Should we stop?” Rex asked, his ears pinning to his head at the sight of her in pain.

“I guess...” she frowned, looking away.

“Well, the other option is I could tighten up your splint so they can’t move at all,” he said. “It shouldn’t cause any damage if I loosen it back up when we’re done.”

“As much as I want to, we probably shouldn’t.” she shook her head. “Besides, the wings are one of the best parts.”

“Fine,” he said, giving her a quick kiss. “You’re worth waiting for.”

“Hey come on, you're gonna make my head huge,” she joked, an adorable blush on her face.

“I’m just giving you my professional opinion as a doctor,” he joked back.

“Uh huh, sure you are big guy.”

“What, isn’t it the guy’s job to compliment the girl he’s into?” Rex asked with a grin.

“I mean, I just figured you bark or howl at me,” she teased.

“And I figured you’d just whinny and snort,” he teased back.

“Nah.” She smirked. “If my wing weren’t broken, I’d do the pegasus courtship dance.”

“Well, when you’re all healed up, you’ll have to show it to me,” he said.

“Let’s hope it has the same effect it has pegasi on you huh?” she asked, snuggling into his chest again. He wrapped his arms around her, content to just hold her. After a few moments, a soft snore drifted up to his ears. He chuckled and shook his head, letting her sleep in his arms until Rarity came a few hours later.

Time passed and Rex and Scootaloo continued to see each other as her wings slowly healed.

“Thanks again for helping me get ready Sweetie Belle,” Scootaloo said for at least the third time, adjusting her dress to show just the right amount of cleavage.

“Are you kidding, of course I’m helping you. You’re my friend and you really like this guy,” Sweetie replied with a smile.

“Remind me to pay for lunch on Monday. Bloom’s covering for me.”

“Consider this a favor you don’t have to pay off,” Sweetie waved off. “Just focus on having a good time with your coltfriend.”

“He’s not exactly a colt you know.”

“True, but he’s got similar parts,” Sweetie said with a giggle. “Think your wings are okay if you two want to do it tonight?”

“I think so.” Scootaloo nodded, giving them a test flap. “Yeah, they're fine.”

“Glad to hear it,” Sweetie replied. “Have fun.” She winked.

“Thank you too.” Scootaloo hugged her before rushing out to go meet Rex. Rex was at their typical meeting spot outside of Ponyville, wearing a nice button up shirt and dress pants. He even had a tie on that was black like his fur. “Woah, you clean up really nice,” she commented, looking him over.

“I could say the same to you,” he teased, putting an arm around her.

She smiled, kissing his cheek. “So, where ya takin me?”

“That nice restaurant in town. We’ve gotta celebrate your healed wings,” he answered, the two walking back to Ponyville.

“You know you don’t have to go out of your way for me,” she remind him with a slight frown.

“Scootaloo, my patients pay me in gems, I can afford to treat you to a nice meal,” he said with a grin.

“As long as you hoof the bill big guy.” She grinned backed, leaning on him.

“Anything for my mare.” He gave her a squeeze, the two of them walking into the restaurant.

“Geez,” Scootaloo commented, looking around, “I feel like I’m at one of those frou frou parties Rarity drags Sweetie to all the time.”

“We could always go somewhere else if you don’t like this,” Rex offered.

“Nah, you probably paid for reservations right?” she asked, looking up at him.

“Alright.” The two walked up to the podium and were quickly seated.

“I hope the food isn’t too bad. They barely feed you at these places,” Scootaloo mumbled, obviously speaking from experience.

“I talked to your unicorn friend and she said that this place has actual servings,” he assured.

“Sweeties pretty good with that stuff,” Scootaloo agreed, “Bloom prefers home cooking and I normally just eat at the tavern so Sweetie's usually the one dragging us to new places.”

“I can’t cook at all,” he said with a chuckle. “Blame it on being from a culture where we mostly just eat gems, Though we do occasionally roast meat over a fire.”

“How is that?” Scootaloo asked, grabbing a menu and flipping through it.

“It’s alright,” he replied, grabbing his own menu. “It tastes better when we manage to find spices and stuff like that.”

“I’ll have to give it a try sometime.” She hummed, scanning the menu. “What are you getting?”

“Umm, I was thinking about getting this seared salmon,” he answered, pointing at the item in his menu. “I’ve never had fish before so I wanna try it.”

“Live with me and I’ll make sure you get a healthy share of it.” Scootaloo winked at him.

“Did you just ask me to move in with you?” he asked, his tail slowly wagging behind him.

“Maybe~” she grinned mischievously, giggling at his excitement.

“Well, I could be persuaded to do that,” he said with a smile. “See, I’ve been training a young dog in everything I know. If I were to leave the tunnels, he could take my place and I could open a family clinic on the surface.”

“Think you could live up here full time?” she asked, putting her menu down.

“I could do it for the right girl,” he replied, looking into her eyes.

“Yeah but, is that something you’d want to do?” she asked, gazing back into his.

“Of course,” he said, taking hold of her hand. “I could never ask you to live underground. You hate the tight space. I can still visit family and all that and live on the surface.”

"If you’re really okay with that, then I’d love to share my place with you.”

“I’ll start moving in soon.” he kissed her hand. She blushed, smiling at him. “So, what are you getting?” he asked, not letting go of her hand.

“Probably the fish, maybe some hay fries to go with it.”

“Actually, that’s a good choice. The oils in fish are good for your feathers and wings,” he stated.

“Yeah but it always gets stuck in my teeth and I have to spend like an hour trying to floss it out,” she countered.

“Sometimes we’ve gotta suffer for the sake of our health.” He chuckled. She laughed with him, shaking her head.

“You’re a really cool guy you know that?” she asked, batting her eyelashes at him.

“And you’re a cool mare,” he replied, winking at her. “It’s why I keep visiting you.”

Her smile widened and she leaned in close, closing her eyes. He met her halfway and the two kissed. She kept the kiss for a few more moments before slowly breaking away.

“Love you,” Rex said, a smile on his face. She blushed, her eyes going wide. She was silent for a few moments before she returned his smile.

“Love you too.”

“Even if I’m a fleabag?” he teased with a mischievous smile.

“Hey, you love a featherbrain like me, so I think we’re even,” she shot back.

“True, but you’re a featherbrain with a sweet ass,” he replied with a chuckle.

“Think so huh?” she asked, raising her eyebrow.

“Oh yeah, I do.” He smiled at her.

“Well I think you have the best hands.” She winked, a devious look on her face.

“Would you like a demonstration of what they can do after dinner?” he asked, wiggling his fingers.

“Oh you know I will.” She licked her lips, giving him a lustful look. He licked his own lips, returning her look.

“Ahem.” They both jumped, looking up at the waiter, who was giving them a rather judgemental look.

“Umm, we both want the seared salmon,” Rex said, coughing and blushing fiercely.

“And to drink?” the waiter asked, focusing on Rex.

“Umm, water will be fine. Unless you want wine?” He turned to Scootaloo.

“Nah, they don’t have anything I like here.” Scootaloo shook her head.

“A wise financial decision sir.” The waiter took their menus, walking off.

“Heh, that was embarrassing,” Rex said.

“I think he just insulted you,” Scootaloo replied, an angry scowl on her face.

“Heh, his eyes will bug out when he finds out I’m rich by pony standards. Think his tune will change when I tip with a diamond?”

“He might just think you stole it.”

“There’s only one pony who’s opinion I care about.” He held her hand again. She relaxed at his touch, putting her other hand over his. “Don’t let that waiter ruin our date. I certainly won’t.

“I’ll try okay?” she asked, giving him a small smile.

“That’s all I ask. But you don’t have to fight my battles for me.” He returned her smile.

“No promises there bud. I don’t leave my friends hanging.”

“Just one of the many things I like about you.” He shook his head with a smile.

“You know... there is something I’ve been wanting to talk with you about...” she blushed, adjusting her wings nervously.

“What’s that?” Rex asked, tilting his head.

"Can... Diamond Dogs and ponies... you know?”

“Oh, that was actually part of my med school research,” he said, perking up. “I found out that diamond dogs and ponies can in fact interbreed and create fertile offspring. And the fascinating thing is that if my data is accurate, then the children turn out completely pony more often than not.”

“So... what are the mix breeds called?” Scootaloo asked with a blink.

“Um… I don’t think there’s a historic name and I never came up with one,” he answered.

“We’ll just have to come up with one.” Scootaloo smirked. A large smile spread across his face and his tail wagged quickly.

“I guess we will.”

“You know... estrus is in a few weeks...”

“You… want to start a family so soon?” Rex asked carefully.

“I’m not known for planning too far ahead,” she responded, a smirk on her lips.

“Well, I think you’d be a great mom.” His tail kept wagging.

“I’d like to think so too.” Scootaloo leaned back in her chair, soaking in the praise.

“If you keep saying things like this my tail might fall off,” Rex joked.

“Scootaloo?” a familiar voice interrupted. They both turned, seeing Diamond Tiara standing a bit away from the table.

“Oh… hi Diamond Tiara,” Scootaloo said, not sure what to make of the mare’s arrival.

“I thought that was you.” Diamond smiled. “And whose your friend?”

“My name is Rex,” he answered. “Are you a friend of Scootaloo’s?”

“I’d like to think so. I’m Diamond Tiara.” She smiled, holding her hand out. Rex shook it and smiled back.

“So what are you doing here?” Scootaloo asked.

“Just getting some dinner.” Diamond frowned, looking between them. “Oh, I’m interrupting aren’t I?”

“No.” Scootaloo shook her head. “Actually, you should join us if you’re by yourself.” She smiled.

“Are you sure? I don’t want to ruin your night out.”

“Nonsense, two’s company and three’s a party,” Scootaloo said.

“Only if your handsome friend is alright with it.” Rex blinked and looked between the two mares.

“Well, if Scootaloo wants you to join us, who am I to disagree?”

“Well alright then.” Diamond sat down in between them, flashing a smile.

“What’s new with you, Diamond?” Scootaloo asked.

“Well, don’t tell anyone this but...” Diamond leaned in close. “I plan on running for the mayor's office.”

“Nice, I’d vote for you,” Scootaloo whispered.

“Thanks Scoots.” Diamond smiled, leaning back in her seat.

“So, how long have you two known each other?” Rex asked, looking between the two.

“Since elementary school,” Diamond explained, rubbing the back of her neck, “I’m about ashamed to admit this but I used to be a rather big bully.”

“Yeah, but you grew out of it,” Scootaloo waved off. “And since then you’ve been a good friend. You don’t have to beat yourself up over that forever.”

“But, Scoots and her friends helped me understand my cutie mark, which helped them get their own.” Diamond smiled. “I currently work as the school's superintendent.”

“That sounds great.” Rex smiled at Diamond. “Do you enjoy the work?”

“I love it. Seeing all those kids actually enjoy going to school makes it worth it.”

“I understand how rewarding helping lives can be,” Rex said. “I’m a doctor.”

“Do you practice in Ponyville?”

“I’m about to,” Rex said. “But I’ve actually been practicing underground among my fellow diamond dogs. I felt it was important to have a trained doctor there with cave ins and other dangers.”

“I wish they would become an official part of Ponyville.” Diamond frowned. “They don’t have to live out.”

“Maybe if relations between dogs and ponies improve,” Rex shrugged. “Not to mention we can be pretty independent.”

“Hey Di, why don’t you tell Rex about some of the weirder kids in the school?” Scootaloo grinned.

“I could do that,” Diamond chuckled.

“Weird?” Rex asked, looking between them.

“Well, there is the foal with the strong teeth. And then there’s one who can lift just about anything,” Diamond said.

“Hey, Rex, you ever read a Power Ponies comic?” Scootaloo asked, nudging Diamon with a smirk.

“Yeah, my roommate introduced them to me back in med school,” he answered. “Why?”

“Bet you didn’t know Mane-iac lives in town.”

“...Huh?” Rex asked, blinking in confusion.

“Apparently, she climbed out of a comic book,” Diamond explained, “Her daughter attends the school.”

“Does the daughter have super powers?” Rex asked

“She inherited the mane,” Scootaloo replied. “She beamed, sitting up as the waiter arrived with their food. They all licked their lips and started eating.

“And of course there’s the two kirins and the half draconequus,” Diamond said as she ate a rose salad.

“And the hippogriff, and all the changelings,” Scootaloo added.

“Wow, that’s quite the class,” Rex commented with wide eyes. “Ponyville seems to be full of interspecies relationships.”

“We’re a very accepting community.” Diamond smiled, sneaking a glance at Scootaloo.

“Then I’m glad I’m going to be opening my clinic here,” Rex replied with an oblivious smile.

Scootaloo blushed, locking eyes with Diamond. She bit her lip and then nodded slowly.

“So um... Rex... how are Diamond Dogs with multiple partners?”

“Well, alphas are known to take multiple partners so it’s not an uncommon practice,” Rex answered.

“How’d you like to be an alpha?” Scootaloo asked, waggling her eyebrows at him. He blinked before the meaning in her words sank in. He then blushed and looked between the two mares.

“Well… if you two are okay with that.”

“Ponies do it all the time,” Diamond assured him, winking.

“Well… I’m kind of… inexperienced with relationships,” Rex admitted, rubbing the back of his head.

“Don’t worry big guy we got you covered,” Scootaloo said, putting a hand over his paw.

“Thanks, Scootaloo.” He smiled. “I’ll do my best at this. I mean, it won’t be that different from dating one mare, right?”

“That's the spirit,” Diamond encouraged, taking another bite of her salad.

“Well, it helps that the two mares that want to be with me are gorgeous,” he said as he ate his fish. The group chatted amongst themselves, eventually wandering back to Diamonds place.

“Whoa,” Rex said as they walked into the entrance foyer. “This house is as big as the central chamber of the dog village.”

“It’s not all for me,” Diamond explained, a self-conscious blush on her face, “A lot of it is living quarters for my staff.”

“Heh, there was a time you’d be puffing your chest at a reaction like that,” Scootaloo teased. “Now you’re acting like a regular Fluttershy.” She poked Diamond right on her blush.

“Yeah, back when you were a blank flank,” Diamond teased back, putting on her ‘better-than-you’ voice.

“Well, my flank sure ain't blank anymore, wanna see for yourself?” Scootaloo wagged her eyebrows at her.

“Why I’d love to Scootaloo.” Diamond smiled, reaching over and giving it a slap. Rex perked up at the muffled smack and watched the two with interest, his tail slowly wagging. “Heh, lookit you squirm~” Diamond teased, slapping the other cheek.

“Oh, I’m not gonna be the only one squirming.” Scootaloo smirked and slapped Diamond’s flank. Diamond squirmed, her ass jiggling. “Ooh, now that is one nice ass you’ve got there Di. I could spank this all night long.” She slapped her other cheek.

Diamond didn’t reply, merely grabbing Scootaloo and pulling her into a passionate kiss. Rex watched them kiss, his tail wagging faster.

“Enjoying the show?” Diamond asked, breaking their kiss, both of them panting.

“That would be a bit of an understatement,” Rex commented. “I am already glad I decided to date both of you.”

“Then what are you waiting for?” Diamond asked, holding a hand out to him. He grinned and took her hand.

“For you to show me where the nearest bedroom is.”

“Right this way~” Diamond smiled, leading them upstairs, making sure to add an exaggerated sway to her hips.

“Think we should move in here instead of your place?” Rex whispered to Scootaloo, his eyes never leaving Diamond’s ass.

“Let’s talk about who's moving in with who later,” Scootaloo whispered back.

“True, there are more important things to worry about.” Diamond opened a door and ushered them into a large bedroom. Diamond wasted no time at all, stripping out of her clothes, leaving her in rather lacy lingerie. Scootaloo grinned, looking Diamond up and down as she tossed her own dress off and leaving her in her own underwear.

“And now for the handsome diamond dog,” Scootaloo said, standing beside Diamond.

“I’m afraid I don’t look nearly as nice as you two,” Rex laughed, quickly removing his clothes, a tent having formed in his boxers.

“I dunno, I think you look pretty damn good,” Scootaloo said, licking her lips. “What do you think Di?”

“I think he has great muscles.” Damond reached out, tracing her fingers over his abs. His tail wagged at the praise and he wrapped his arms around her.

“And you curve in all the right places,” he said, pulling her into a deep kiss. She returned the kiss, pressing her breasts into his chest. His hands gripped her ass, feeling the pleasant give in it.

“That's so hot...” Scootaloo bit her lip, her wings pomfing out.

“And I can’t forget my favorite pegasus.” Rex pulled Scootaloo over and gave her a kiss. She kissed him back, wrapping her arms around his neck. “Mmm, choosing who to start with is going to be very tough,” he commented as he broke away from the kiss. He looked both mares over.

They smiled at him, pressing their bodies against his.

“You’re only making this harder for me,” he said with a grin.

“I can see that.” Scootaloo reached down, stroking his erection.

“Oh… you’re making a good case for me starting with you, Scootaloo,” Rex groaned. “Diamond, your argument?” He turned his head to her with a smoldering look.

“Oh no, be my guest.” Diamond smiled, pulling away.

“Alright.” Rex returned his attention to Scootaloo. “Let’s take this to the bed.” He kissed her neck. Scootaloo moaned, leading him to the bed, falling onto it so he was on top. He reached behind her back and unhooked her bra and pulled it off. He licked his lips as her breasts were revealed. He grabbed both of them and started to knead them.

“Oh yeah... those hands of yours are amazing,” Scootaloo complimented, her nipples hardening.

“They’re all for you and Diamond for the foreseeable future,” he said, leaning down and kissing and nipping her neck as he toyed with her chest. She moaned, grabbing his boxers sliding them down his legs. “Ready to give Diamond a show?” he asked, lining up his length with her lower lips.

“I’ve been ready.” she grinned, wrapping her legs around his waist. He nodded, grabbing the base of his length and pushed the tip in. He groaned, adjusting to the feeling for a moment. He then continued to slowly push inside of her. “Oh Faust you're big!” she moaned, pushing him all the way in. Rex groaned, staying still for a few moments.

“This… feels really good,” he said, looking down at her.

“D-don’t just sit there!” Scootaloo bucked back against him, trying to get him moving again. He nodded, pulling out a bit and making a quick, short thrust. He repeated this process several times to avoid cumming too soon. “O-oh yeah, that's it, show me what kind of alpha you are.”

“Yours,” he answered, leaning down and licking her cheek before nipping her neck as he kept thrusting. She moaned, tilting her head to expose more of her neck. He continued to nip at her neck as he steadily increased the speed of his thrusting. He then removed his hands from her breasts and grabbed the bases of her wings.

“Looks like all that medical training paid off huh?” Diamond commented, watching intently, her hand in her panties.

“Y-you have no idea,” Scootaloo moaned as Rex rubbed the bases of her wings.

“You know...” Diamond rose up from her seat and walked over. “I heard that if you do this...” she gently grabbed one of Scootaloo’s feathers, wiggling it around.

“What are you planning?” Rex asked looking up from Scootaloo’s neck. Diamond just smirked, getting a long moan out of the pegasus. She moved her fingers down, pinching the base of the feather.

“Ohh, preening,” Rex said, following Diamond’s example.

“O-oh y-you guys suck...” Scootaloo moaned, squirming helplessly under their hands.

"All's fair in love and war~” Diamond sing-songed.

“Besides, you love it,” Rex said, nipping her neck again. “You said it before, the wings are one of the best parts.” He tugged one of her primary feathers. She gasped, her breathing hitching. Diamond and Rex shared a grin, both of them tugging on a primary feather.

“C-come on...” Scootaloo whined, quickly devolving into a quivering, moaning mass of pony.

“Tell us to stop and we’ll stop,” Diamond said with a devious smirk, still tugging the feather. Scootaloo couldn’t compose a coherent response, mumbling nonsense at them.

“And to think I was worried I wouldn’t be able to please a mare.” Rex chuckled as he started pulling out damaged feathers.

“You’ll have a much harder job with me, I assure you~” Diamond purred, pulling out a loose feather. Rex looked Diamond over and licked his lips as he pulled out another feather.

“I’m looking forward to trying,” he said.

“Best finish up with her first, only fair we get equal time with you.”

“I think I have an idea how to send her over the edge.” Rex grabbed Scootaloo and flipped her onto her stomach, his length remaining in her folds. Her wings instantly sprang up. He leaned down and nipped the bases of her wings.

“Ah!” Scootaloo squeaked, her wings flapping awkwardly. Rex grinned, digging his hands into her ass as he thrusted and nipped her wings.

“Oh wow.” Diamond watched, biting her lip.

Rex ignored her, grunting as he felt his orgasm approaching. “Where does my pony want me to finish?”

“Inswide...” Scootaloo slurred, clutching on the bed sheets.

“Got it.” He nipped her wing, slamming his entire length except for his swelling knot into her and came. She moaned, tightening around him, milking him for all he was worth. Once he felt his orgam end, he slipped out of her and started to pant a bit. “Wow… that was amazing.”

“It looks like it.” Diamond smirked, looking at the twitching mound of fur and feathers that was Scootaloo. “But before we do anything, go wash your hands.” Rex nodded and walked into the nearby bathroom. He came back one minute later and wrapped his arms around Diamond.

“You know, diamonds are my favorite gem to eat,” he said, licking his lips. “I wonder if you taste just as good.”

“One can only hope.” She leaned into, locking lips with him. He unhooked her bra as they kissed, tossing it away. He then slipped his hands into her panties and kneaded her ass. “Ooh, an ass stallion are we?”

“What can I say, there’s something about a sweet ass I just can’t resist,” he said, grabbing both of her cutie marks. “And you two mares certainly have that trait.”

“Mmm... I’m glad you think so.” She pressed against him, running her hand along his arm.

“Anyone with two braincells to rub together would agree,” he said, removing his hands from her ass so he could pull her panties down. She stepped out of them, posing for him. “Mmm, how did a dog like me land not one, but two stunning mares?” he asked, drinking in Diamond’s body.

“You are a Diamond Dog after all, it’s what you do.’ A mischievous grin spread across his face.

“Yes, we diamond dogs take the best gems for ourselves,” he said, looking at her with a predatory look. “And right now I’m about to take the best looking diamond I’ve ever seen.” He grabbed her, pulling her down onto the bed with him on top of her.

“Is that so?” she asked, looking up into his eyes, “And what makes you say that?”

“Well, let’s see,” he said his eyes locking to hers. “I suppose I should start with your mane.” He ran a hand through her wavy lavender and white mane. “It’s soft and the colors are very beautiful.” He then traced his hand across her face. “And your eyes make sapphires look dull in comparison. Should I go on?” he asked, his hand holding her chin.

“Please do.” She nodded, soaking in the attention.

“You got it. Your lips are soft and you’re a very good kisser.” His hand then moved his hand down to her chest. “I could lose my face in your chest.” His hand then rested on your hip. “Your hips are nice and wide, perfect for bearing children when Estrus rolls around.” His hands drifted to her ass. “And I believe I already made my appreciation for this known.”

“Yes you have,” she agreed, leaning up to lightly kiss his lips.

“And inside you shine too,” he said. “I find someone who dedicates their life to helping foals enjoy learning extremely sexy.”

“Really now?” she asked, nipping at his neck.

“Mhmm,” he said, grinding his hips against hers. She moaned, her juices dripping on him. His length hardened again and he lined up with her entrance. He slid the tip inside. She hopped up, wrapping her legs around him. He started to push the rest of his length inside her and took one of her nipples in his mouth.

“Oh yeah, work that mouth of yours,” she commanded, putting her hands on his head. He stopped what he was doing in an instant and growled.

“I am your alpha, you do not order me around.”

“Oh yeah?” she asked, a playful edge to her voice, “Who promoted you to the top of the pack?”

“I did,” he said, flipping her on her hands and knees. “And you’d better like it.” He spanked her on the cutie mark.

“Oh you are quite rough...” she shook her ass a little, giggling.

“Only on naughty ponies,” he said with a grin, spanking her other mark.

“And what makes me so naughty?”

“Thinking you can give your alpha orders,” he answered, spanking her again and starting to thrust into her. He then leaned down and started to nip her neck. She moaned, granting him more access to her neck. He thrusted into her velvet walls hard and fast, squeezing and kneading her ass as he kissed, licked and nipped her neck.

“That’s it, be a good pony and moan for your alpha,” he cooed.

“How could I not?” she asked, bucking her hips back against him.

“Heh, way to be a good pony.” He kneaded her ass more and licked her cheek. “Imagine running for mayor with a baby bump.”

“That might improve my image,” she replied, tightening around his length. He grunted, pushing his entire length, including the swelling knot inside her, cumming. He moaned, rocking his hips as his length was kept in place. “O-oh Faust that's big...” she shuddered, gripping the bed sheets. He draped himself over her back and wrapped his arms around her..

“Hmm, then it seems both you and Scootaloo will be seeing me during Estrus in a few weeks,” he said, still grinding against her.

“Think you can handle it?” she asked, looking over her shoulder with a cocky grin.

“I’ll manage. I’ve always pictured having children,” he replied, kissing her cheek. She smiled, giving his lips a lick. “Heh, I think I’m gonna like being with you, Diamond.”

“Don’t forget about our lovely Scoots,” she reminded, gesturing to their snoring lover.

"Oh, I could never forget about her.” He smiled and looked at both of them. “I feel like the luckiest guy in Equestria right now.”

“Then why don’t you show me how lucky you are?” she purred, batting her eyelashes at him. He smiled, tilted her head back and kissed her as he continued to move his hips. She closed her eyes, slipping her tongue into his mouth. Their tongues wrestled as he held her in his arms and pumped his hips against her. She broke the kiss, panting heavily. “Oh Faust I’m close.”

“And you said I’d have a hard time with you,” he teased, licking her cheek with a smirk.

“Maybe I’m just going easy on you?” she shot back.

“Really, are you?” he asked, his hands moving up and pinching her nipples. She moaned, bucking back against him and nearly knocking him off the bed. He grunted and held her down as he picked up the pace. He then leaned down and nipped at her neck.

“See?” she asked with a smirk, squirming under him, already worming out of his grasp.

“Yeesh, did you learn how to be an escape artist or something?” Rex growled, trying to pin her again.

“Did you forget I’m an earth pony?” she asked, suddenly shifting him around, pinning him. “Just because my family aren’t farmers doesn’t mean I’m not strong.”

“Hmm, so there’s good muscles buried under those delicate curves,” Rex said, his tail waggingz. “Good, that means you’ll be able to birth strong children.” He thrusted a little harder, trying to knock her off balance.

“Don’t I know it?” she asked with a groan. Diamond leaned down, nipping at his ear, giving it a tug. He groaned and tried to wiggle out of her grasp, his body twisting and turning beneath her. “You like that?” she asked, wrapping her legs around his waist, showing off more of her muscle.

“N-no,” he said, blushing and continuing to struggle beneath her.

“I think you do little doggy~” she teased, holding his hands over his head, smirking. He smirked and bucked his hips more.

“I think we both know it’s a misnomer to call me little.” He grunted, gathering his strength and rolling over to be back on top.

“Can’t let the praise go to your head,” she snarked back.

“But it’s fine to just praise you unabashedly,” he teased, holding her down as he slammed his hips into hers.

“B-but of course,” she moaned out, moving her hips in time with his.

“Say you love being dominated by your alpha,” he growled, nipping and tugging her ears.

“As if a pony like me would submit to a mutt like you,” she harrumphed, sticking her nose in the air.

“Oh, you will.” He smirked, one of his hands going down and the claws teasing her ass while his other pinched and tugged her nipple.

“Ah!” she yelped, nearly thrashing around under him.

He sped up his teasing, his smirk growing wider. “That’s it little pony, keep making noises for your alpha~” She panted, her tongue lolling out of her mouth. “Ready to say it?~” he asked, twisting and pulling her nipple.

“I love it!” Diamond shouted, squeezing her eyes shut.

“What do you love?” He growled, squeezing her ass tightly.

“Y-you!”

“And your alpha loves you,” he kissed her deeply and came, his seed going deep into her womb. She let out a scream, coming hard before collapsing onto her bed, mumbling softly. He collapsed next to her and held her close. “Mmm, that was great.”

“...I really wish you’d have washed your hands first before cuddling...” she replied, giving him a flat look.

“I’ll wash up as soon as the knot deflates.” He rolled his eyes and tugged his hips, demonstrating that he was stuck to her.

“Alright alright relax.” she rolled her eyes, leaning on him.

“We’ll have to have another date soon,” Rex said, licking her cheek. “I want to get to know you better, Diamond. Especially if we’re having kids in a few weeks.” He chuckled.

“I’d like that.” she nodded, hugging him close to her.

“But for now, let’s just sleep,” he said, resting his head on top of hers.

“Night Rex, night Scoots.”

“Amahfa...” Scootaloo mumbled back. Rex and Diamond chuckled at that for a few moments before drifting off to a content sleep.
