Troy pov

I was laying in bed when I felt something push against my chest. It was in my arms as well. I opened my eyes and looked down and saw applebloom in my arms. Then the memories from last night rushed to the front of my mind. The pizza place and the kiss she gave me in the barn. I looked back to applebloom who was moving in my arms. 'Wow this is actually kind of nice. Having someone to hold and to protect.' I tightened my hold on her and she snuggled more into my chest. She was smiling in her sleep until I heard the sound of knocking across the hall.

"Applebloom come on time to get up we need to go and get Troy some winter clothes."

I heard her knock again and applebloom was waking up in my arms.

"Sis go away I'm nice and warm."

I put a hand on her shoulder and started shaking her in hope of waking her as a knocking started comeing from my door.

"Troy time to get up and do you know were applebloom is?"

I looked back to the door and answered. "I'm up."

"Ok do you know where applebloom is?"

I finally got applebloom to wake and she heard applejack's voice.

"I'm in here sis I'm helping him change his bandages. You know Troy he can't wrap it right."

"Alright then when you're done were heading to rarity's."

After a minute she was gone and we got out of bed and leaned over my shoulder. I looked to applebloom and she was looking at me with a smile. I smile back and started to put my shoes back on. She walked over and kissed me of thee cheek and stood back up.

"I'm going to get dressed see you down stairs Troy."

She walked out of my room with a little sway in hips and tail. I watched her go until she was outside my door and I blinked. 'I should look into the dating costumes here or just asked out again.' I thought as I got my swords on my sides and walked out of the room and down the stairs. I walked into the kitchen and saw mac and granny. "Morning y'all. "

"Morning."

"Eyep."

I walked!over to the table and pulled the extra seat next to applebloom's. Mac looked from the papper and smiled and granny looked at me and I saw that she was making breakfast. I smiled back as we heard applejack's voice.

"Bloom come on breakfast is ready!"

"For the last time I'm getting my winter clothes out!"

I heard applejack mubble so words and then looked into the room. I looked away when our eye met granny and mac did the same. She set down in her seat across from and for the first time in days i looked her in the eye's. "Good morning applejack." She looked shocked that i was speaking to her again and before she spoke applebloom walked in.

"Morning y'all."

Everyone said go morning as granny started to put food in front of us. I looked from the plate and looked at applebloom. She was wearing a black long sleeve shirt she also had a pair of blue jeans. I looked at her hooves and saw she was wearing a pair of what I think counts a pair of boots. I stopped lokking when she was beside me and we started to eat the food. Breakfast was pancakes and apple juice. 'Do they ever have a meal without apples?' We ate until granny spoke up.

"So how did everypony sleep?"

As she talked she looked at me and applebloom out of the corner of her eye. I didn't say anything but applebloom spoke for the both of us.

"I slept pretty good what about you troy?"

They all looked at and I just took a bite of pancakes with the faintest blush on my cheek. But i got and evil idea and look at applebloom. She saw my look and I saw the worry in her eyes. I looked back to granny and the older siblings. "I was sleeping fine until some red hair filly was leaning over me." Applebloom blushed and granny laughed and mac did too. She look at me and looked annoyed.

"Your evil you know that."

I smiled at her and set backin my chair. "I'm the devil himself sweetie." After that the morning was quiet and me applebloom and applejack left for rarity's. As we walked I looked around and loooed at the snow. Once we got into town many kids and mare ran up to me and started to ask me questions. The kids if I got hurt and a few mare asked if I was a special guard. I told them no and told the kids yes I did get hurt but they can't keep me down.

"Troy, applebloom!"

I looked to my right and saw sweetiebell ranning over to us. She was wearing a pair boots and loose jeans. She was also in a tight fitting jacket. Her hair brushed straight and she was a little touchy feely. Applebloom was watching sweetie with a unhappy look and grabbed my arm and pulled me back and gave sweetie a death glare.

"Morning sweetie bell what are you doing up this early?"

I looked at the two of them looked at each other like I would and enemy.

"Well applebloom I was coming to get Troy for rarity. She wants to get his clothes made ans i wanted to say thanks for saving me."

Applejack and broke them up and we all walked to rarity's shop. Applebloom keep close to me the whole way there. Sweetie on the other hand wrapped her arm around mine and looked at a upset applebloom. When sweetie let me got applebloom pulled me aside and looked at me. She was about to start yelling but I stopped her with a hug. "I know and don't worry your my girlfriend and I'm going to stay loyal to you and you alone." She looked at me with a happy smile and she put her head on my shoulder. We stayed like this until the cold started to get to me. She noticed and saw that the cold was finally getting to me and pulled me into the shop. I spent the better part of and hour standing in one place for rarity to measure me. I chased applebloom and sweetie out of the room. I didn't want the to see me in my boxers.

"So Troy what kind of cloths do you want?"

As she talked I put my old clothes back on. I slid my swords back on my side and looked back at her. "A jacket and t-shirts and black jeans will be fine. Maybe a set of dinner wear too." She nodded and started to walk of the room but I stopped her. "Wait how much do I owe you for the clothes?"

"Darling you save the town my sister and all those mare you've more then earned anything we could offer you as thanks."

'She's right in the first week here I've done so much and for what. I only saved applebloom because of my morales and after that I've become like a guardian. I'm even falling in love with her so what am I really doing here?' I thought all this as I walked out in to the living room and saw only applejack was still in the room. 'Today is not my day.' I walked over and sat down on the chair in the corner. As I when to sit down my swords were pushed up and I gave a!nodded growl. I stood back up and took my swords off and seat back down. I leaned the swords against the chair and leaned back.

"Um Troy?"

I looked at applejack and she was looking at me.

"Ya?"

She bit her lip and looked at me hooves.

"Um Troy are you really going to fight Luna?"

'Damn I forgot about that can't kill the mare can I?' I looked at her and started to talk. "No I, we we're both mad and the puppet really did do it. I had no control over his but my pride as a soldier wouldn't let me say sorry and she won't either." She looked at me and got up and walked over to me. She stood in front of me and she looked down at me and I looked up at her.

"I want ya ta know my sister has taken a great liking to you. Oh and after you when in the room with rarity's work room applebloom all but dragged sweetie to her. Now I haven't hear a sound and I don't want to go up the and see a fight aftermath."

I thought about it and applebloom did seem to be rather possessive of me when we're near other mare. She is my girlfriend and then I remembered she said had dragged sweetie up stairs. "Crap." I jumped up amd fan for the stairs. Applejack yelled for me not to hurt them and I yelled back that I wouldn't. I saw a door cracked open and I slowed down and leaned against the wall and listened in one them.

"Applebloom please you can be the head mare just let me date him too please!?"

I wounder she meant so I keep listening.

"For the last time sweetie I'm his mare and I don't think he wants to make a herd."

I pulled my head back and looked at the door. 'What is a herd?' I grabbed the door handle and walked in.

Applebloom pov

I pulled sweetie bell up the stairs into her room and the whole way up the stairs sweetie keep trying to get a look at my boyfriend. I wasn't happy about that and when I got to her room I opened the door and pulled her in and pushed the door back. I looked back at her and she was looking at me with a angry look.

"The buck applebloom why did you hog him!?"

I crossed my arms and swung my tail in a angerly. "Why? Well he's my boyfriend and your not going to ge trying anything with him." Sweetie looked at me like I just hit her. I smiled and leaned against the wall and looked at her. She was opening and closing her mouth like a fished until she just looked at me.

"Why?"

I raised an eyebrow and and soon started to panic when I saw tears in sweetiebell's eyes.

"Why do you get him I'm like you. He save me from becoming a slave and I was stupid enough to think he'd fall in love with me."

I felt bad now and I walked over to her and put a hand on her back and sat down be side her. She was now crying and I pulled her into a hug and she looked at me. She looked for!a!second until she got!a!shaky smile and grabbed my shoulders.

"I know applebloom I'll ask if he wants to start a herd and that why we can both be his mares."

I pulled her hands off and stood up and looked at her with pity. She jumped up and grabbed my shoulders again.

Applebloom please you can be the head mare just let me date him too please!?"

"For the last time sweetie I'm his mare and I don't think that he wants to make a herd." As soon as I said that Troy walked in and saw us and he looked at us with confusion.

I was about to go over to him when let go of my shoulders and tackled Troy. I saw he didn't have his swords ajd he hit his head on the wall. I feared For my Troy and ran over to him.

Troy pov

Sweetie had just tackled me in to the wall and she was crying. Applebloom ran up behind her and pulled her off of me and helped me to my feet. She looked me over and when she was sure I was ok then see looked back and sweetie was leaning against the door frame. I pulled myself from applebloom and walked up to her and she looked at me with hope.

"Troy have you ever given thought about starting a herd?!"

I leaned back and looked at her and then back to applebloom. "Ok, applebloom what is a herd?" She sighed and pulled sweetie away from me. When she had her sitting on her bed she started to talk.

"Ok a herd is a group of mares who all love a stallion or you. Sweetie here has started to have feelings for you and now she wants to start a herd with you. So what do you say Troy do you want to start one?"

I looked at them as sweetie had the begging eye and had her hand clasped together. I looked at applebloom and she was looking at sweetie with a pitiful look. Internally sighed and looked at her and she smiled. "Ok let give this a try but I have have one condition." Sweetie jumped on to me and so did applebloom saying that sweetie was a herd sister now. The rest of the day when by fast as sweetie had me and applebloom in her room talking the house I could have built for us and any other mare that may join us.
