Author's Notes:

Hey everyone, I'm back. Sorry about this chapter is a bit shorter than others, but I am getting back into the flow of things after getting laid off. But here is hoping that I can get out of this funk long enough to get some material down.

As always, thank you for all that you have done and for all the support.

The party went way later than it would have likely gone otherwise, Me coming back suddenly after disappearing five years ago gave everyone a great excuse to break out the good food and games. Pinkie pulling a fully loaded pinata out of her hair and stringing it up in a matter of seconds managed to freak out quite a few campers, given that soon evaporated when they got to the filling, which Pinkie told me came from Sugar cube corner. I laughed at the reactions of everyone as they tasted the wonderful things that Pinkie made. The princesses never left my side, it was a little strange, to be honest.

As the night wore on, the younger campers all started to fall victim to the long day as they began to nod off in their seats. After the first person fell face first into the cake that Pinkie had somehow pulled out, Chiron made the final call that everyone needed to get off to bed, and the masses began to move towards their respective cabins. Scoots ran over to me and jumped on my back, wrapping her arms around my neck and her legs around my waist.

“That. Was. Awesome. Dad! This place is so cool. I got really good over at the archery range, and Spike made it up the climbing wall on his first try!”

I smiled and listened to her chatter away. I was just glad that she wasn’t treating me any different due to the loss of my arm. “That’s great Scoots! Do you have any plans for tomorrow? Or are you just gonna wing it? Like today?”

She launched off in a tirade about everything that she wanted to do the following day, but before she got into it, Twilight spoke up. “That is all well and good Scootaloo, but you and Spike aren’t going to be missing any of your school work. You need to get that done first before you go out and play.”

Spike and Scoots face both fell into horror when they remembered that I had promised Cherrilee that they would be getting supplemental lessons from Twilight for the duration of this trip. Scoots jumped down from my back and ran around front, flanked by Spike. “Please!!! Don’t let that start already!!! Please!!!!” they both wore the same expression of a puppy that had been kicked.

I could feel my resolve crumble away as I looked at the two of them. Thinking fast I came up with an idea “Hey Twi, can’t you give them a bit of a break? Tomorrow is Sunday after all, can’t school at least wait until Monday?” She didn’t look like she was having any of it, so I threw in, “If you let it off until Monday, you can be little spoon tonight.”

That seemed to break her resolve to have non-stop studying as she relented “Fine… But we start up on Monday at 8 am sharp. Okay!”

The two of them jumped up whooping and shouting “Thanks mom! Before they ran off to the cabin ahead of us.”

I walked over to Twilight and wrapped my arm around her “You know, I think that is the first time that I have heard Scoots call you mom.” I looked down at her and realized that she was crying as she covered her mouth. “And it looks like you liked it quite a bit.” She tried to hold back the happy tears as she nodded. “Come on, I’m beat and our bed it calling out to me.”

As we all arrived at the cabin, the rest of the campers, who were technically my siblings, were a little confused as to where we were all going to sleep. I shrugged it off after pointing at my trunk. My older siblings all had looked of revelation while the younger ones that didn’t remember me all that much had the situation explained to them. After getting the kids situated, we all descended the ladder into my mobile room. Looking over the queen bed that sat in the corner of the room, I realized that there was no way that we were all going to fit in that. “Sorry about the sleeping arrangements, I never thought I was going to need a bigger bed than that. Feel free to take it, Celestia, Luna. I can make up some sleeping pads for the rest of…”

In that moment a flash went off as my queen bed was replaced by one that would have made even a California King look small. I was honestly a little confused as to how it fits in the room. “Um… well, I guess that works for all of you. I will… I will make up a cot so that I don’t disturb you.”

As I moved to turn around, I was stopped by a snow-white hand. Looking back, I realized that Celestia was pulling me toward the bed. “Now I do not think that will do. You promised young Twilight that she would get to be the little spoon tonight, and going back on your word is not something that I would expect from my knight. Besides, I won the right to big spoon, and I will not be denied.”

It took me all of three seconds to realize what it was that she was implying “You don’t mean that you…”

She put her finger across my lips to stop me in my tracks “Magos, you are adorable but very dense. Luna and I have been watching you ever since you first arrived in Equestria. I have seen how you have interacted with my little ponies and how you have made Twilight and the rest of the girls here very happy. And you managed to entrance Luna with that song that you played for her. We have both been alive for a very long time, and it has been over one thousand years since the last time that we have expressed any kind of interest in anyone. But we have been waiting long enough. We have discussed this with the rest of you herd and have already been given permission, that if you are okay with it, to join you.”

The gears in my head ground to a stop as smoke began to billow from my ears. Princess Celestia, a goddess, just asked me if she and her sister, another goddess could join my herd. I was still trying to wrap my head around it when a very timid voice spoke up “Um… if you don’t mind, um… well if it was okay with you...I well...I want to be a member to… um... If you are okay with somepony like me.”

If I had thought that the revelation from the princesses was enough to break my mind, hearing Fluttershy ask that as well, nearly made me pass out from shock. I was still completely lost when it came to Pinkie, Twilight and Rainbow being into me. Let alone two goddesses and a mare that could be a goddess in her own right. Not to say that the other three couldn’t be, but Fluttershy had the whole, good girl next door thing going for her. Not sure what to say, Pinkie spoke for me “Well duh he is okay with this. His brain is just rebooting for a moment. After all, it’s not every day that you get three smoking hot mares asking to be in your herd. He just needs a little forced restart.” She ended her little rant by walking over to me and pressing her lips against mine in an effort to get a reaction out of me. At first, it may have well been an innocent little kiss, but after around five seconds, she pressed her tongue into my mouth, dominating my own for the next twenty seconds or so.

After pulling away, I swear that I could see a blue screen, Magos.exe has stopped responding, force restart. Magos.exe rebooting, reboot complete. After my brain had made a recovery, I spoke, “I… well I don’t know what to say. I mean you are all amazingly attractive mares, and any stallion would be thrilled to have you join them, but are you sure that… well, that I’m good enough for you?” I was torn, I mean I knew that I loved Rainbow, Pinkie, and Twilight, and I cared a great deal for the princesses and Fluttershy. But I wasn’t sure if I could give them the kind of attention that they were due.

Celestia smiled at me with enough warmth that I swear that the room grew a little brighter and considering who she is, it likely did. “As I stated before, Magos, Luna, and I have been around for a very long time. And I would like to think that we have developed an excellent eye for the kinds of people that are, as you say ‘good enough’ for us. You have devoted your life to helping our little ponies, even though you had asked to come to our world to escape the trials that you faced here daily. Also, when you were given a way out, an opportunity to just be an average person, you still threw yourself into helping others. The things that you have done have proven your worth a thousand times over. I would say that the most significant reason that Luna and I have made up our minds about pursuing you is mostly in part to how to treat everyone that you meet. You strive to be the best person that you can and means a lot to us. So if you would give us the chance, we would love to share in this life with you.”

Gulping, I nodded. In another flash, I found myself in the bed, surrounded my mares, each of us dressed in some wonderful night clothes that I could only assume were gifts from Luna. As I lie there, surrounded by the mares in my life, all I could think of was that I couldn’t believe how lucky I was to have had the opportunity to go there and meet them all. Pulling Twilight close as Celestia snuggled up to my back, I drifted off to sleep with a smile on my face.

My excellent sleep was ruined by the presence of two young children jumping into the massive bed “DAD! Moms, come on, Breakfast is going to be ready soon, and everyone upstairs said that they don’t wait for anyone.” Spike was very adamant about getting food, so we all dragged ourselves out of bed. Spike and Scootaloo were a little shocked to see both princesses in the bed with us, but before I could explain, Celestia and Luna walked over and kissed my cheeks.

After my head had resumed is a natural color, Spike chuckled “Wow dad, five mares. That has to be some kind of record.”

Sighing I responded, “It’s actually six. Fluttershy has apparently been looking to join as well. I don’t know how I going to survive. You know, when I was growing up, the other guys here always said that having more than one girlfriend would be awesome. But as I have found, it just means that they outvote you on everything. Keep that in mind, bud.” I likely would have gone on a bit more, but a flick to my ear told me that I had already said too much.

After we all got up and made it over to breakfast. We started the meal just like any other that we had here. After thinking about what we wanted, we all stood in line to offer up a portion to the gods. Luna and Celestia offer up to Foust, but the rest of us gave to Hecate. I smiled, knowing that she really did appreciate it.

The days began to pass in a rush, a week into the trip Leo had finished my arm, and it was time to have it fitted.

“Now girls, I have to warn you, I am going to scream when this thing gets plugged in. It may even sound like Leo is trying to kill me, but I promise. It has to be done, and when it is. I will finally be able to hold you all again. Most importantly, I can finally give you two a proper hug again.” Spike and Scoots looked at me with concern in their eyes.

“Is it really going to be that bad dad?” Scoots asked.

I nodded, “it really is Scoots. Leo has to plug it into every nerve for this to work, and it’s going to hurt like a bi..” Looking at Twilight, I noticed that she was giving me the stink eye. “It’s going to hurt a lot, but I know that I can take it. I will do anything it takes to make sure that I can get my arm back.” I brushed the tear from her eye as I said it. Just before walking into the shop, Scoots and Spike jumped up to give me a good luck hug. After they had their fill, the girls stepped up.

“Do you want me in there with you Magos?” Celestia asked with concern in her eyes “I can help with the pain, and should even be able to help with the healing as well.”

Not wanting the others to see, I nodded silently, “Truth be told, I’m not sure if I would be able to deal with this otherwise. Leo told me that for the few that he has already done this for, most of them ended up passing out and vomiting everywhere from the pain. And more than one of them still gets phantom pain from the lost limb.”

She smiled at me and gave me a kiss on the forehead “don’t you worry about that. I will make sure that you come out of this whole once more.” She smiled at me. Then leaned in closer, placing her lips right next to my ear, to ensure that no one could overhear her “besides, Rainbow has been quite vocal in your abilities. Apparently, she loves it when you grab her ass with both hands during. I have to say, I would love a sample of that myself.”

I nearly choked on my own tongue as the words left her mouth, as she pulled away, her eyes that had only moments before been filled with gentle love were filled with a lust that quite frankly made me sareroused. “Meep.”

Giggling, she pushed me towards the door. “Good boy, now let's get you fixed up.”

Still being unable to really speak due to what she had just whispered in my ear, the other girls were a bit confused at me suddenly lighting up red and being shepherded away. “Um princess Luna, what did Princess Celestia just say to Magos?” Rainbow asked.

Luna, who still heard what her sister had just said, smirked, “she told him what she has planned for him. Apparently, you have quite a few stories to tell when it comes to our dear Magos.” Rainbow blushed as Luna looked at her with a predatory stare. Speaking up again “Well I do believe it is the weekend again, the children should go out and enjoy themselves, I think it’s time that the adults had a nice chat” She then placed her hands on Rainbows shoulders and directed her towards the cabin so that the could have a private conversation. They were quickly followed by the other mares, who were all curious as to what the discussion was going to be about.

Spike looked over at his adoptive sister and commented, “Grown-ups are weird, and Celestia needs to realize that Dragons have excellent hearing. Didn’t need to hear that personally.” Scoots looked at Spike and cocked her head to the side.

“What do you mean? What did Princess Celestia say to dad?”

Spike sighed and shook his head “I will tell you when you are older, or if you want, ask her. I’m not going to open this can of worms.”
