My hand rested against my face like they were close lovers. The slight smell of lotion actually being quite inviting.

“Well?” Luna puffed, her cheeks full as she held the quill and paper in front of me with her magic. Every few seconds, she would tap them against my head in a failed attempt to get me to take them.

“Luna…” I groaned out, still not removing my hand.

“You promised,” Luna pouted as a sad look filled her eyes. “We even prepared a heading.”

“That’s not the point Princess…” I grumbled while finally pulling my hand down and staring at the lunar princess. “My problem is that I’m still at work!”

“Yes, but that should not stop thou,” Luna replied before she gave a slight moan. “A little higher on the right please.”

“Of course, Princess Luna,” Aloe replied before shifting her hooves to a better position on Luna’s back.

“Speaking of which, how is thy training for work coming?” Luna asked as she continued to tap the paper and quill against my head.

“We were planning on having him try on a real customer tomorrow,” Lotus replied as she walked into the room with a basket on her back. “Miss Rarity and Miss Fluttershy have volunteered to be his first real customers.”

“As long as I don’t have to work with that creepy model any more, I don’t care if its Granny Smith,” I replied in all honesty. The sisters had an actually training dummy that apparently moaned and chirped depending on what you did and its face reminded me of those damn Annabelle horror dolls.

“That dear mare could defiantly use it,” Lotus commented as she walked up to Luna and placed down the basket. As her sister continued on her back, Lotus took out a large file and began to work on Luna’s horn.

“Don’t try to change the subject, my student,” Luna replied before sighing blissfully as her horn filing began. Turns out that a unicorn’s horn constantly grows, so they have to be shaved every now and then or else their magic becomes effected and their heads become heavy.

“Uhg… fine,” I groaned while snatching the paper and quill out of the air. “I’ll write a damn letter.”

“Yay!” Luna cheered, before smiling sheepishly at my bosses. Both of whom had begun to giggle.

“Okay, let’s see…” I said as I waked over to another massage table and began to read aloud the header Luna had placed.

“Dear Princess Luna, mistress of the night and stars, teacher of the arcane and Empress of the sa-

“Seriously?” I asked while looking back at the other three. While Aloe and Lotus looked confused, Luna gave me a quick wink before blowing me a hidden kiss.

“Can’t believe I’m saying this, but a part of me honestly still wishes I had stayed a virgin,” I grumbled under my breath while I began to write randomly.

After a few minutes I was done with what I had but decided to wait another few minutes so the ink could properly dry. But once it was, I turned around and held it out to Luna.

“Here you go,” I sighed. “Your first letter from your student.”

“Do not just hoof it to us,” Luna groaned as Lotus moved for her to speak. “Thou must deliver it to us properly, bound by ribbon and sent by dragon fire.”

“God, I hate Mondays…” I groaned out as my hand met my face again.

“Uh… today is Wednesday,” Lotus replied, having heard my complaint.

“Hump day!” I shouted, impaling the letter on Luna’s horn and then running away.

Luna couldn’t help but scowl as she found her vision impaired due to the letter. But it quickly turned into a smile when she remembered that it was still a letter to her.

“Let’s see now,” Luna smiled as she floated the letter off her horn and looked at it. She did a quick check to make sure the spa ponies weren’t looking, mostly so they didn’t see the slightly perverted heading she made, and then began to read.

“Today, I learned that “Nothing is true”, and “Everything is permitted”,” Luna read to herself as Lotus joined her sister to work on the princess’s wings. She couldn’t help but wonder why Chris had actually put those two segments into quotes.

“Requesta de pache, Christopher?” Luna finished with a confused tone. That was it, as there was nothing else to look at aside from the hole her horn had left.

“This is no letter!” Luna called out in agitation. “Our sister gets at least twice this from young, Twilight every week and we deserve double!”

“I get the feeling that I’m going to regret that,” I chuckled as I made my way home.

Luna had surprised me today when she suddenly showed up for her “letter”. Saying that since her sister got hers on Thursday, then she should get hers on Wednesday. Luckily, Aloe and Lotus came to the save and offered the princess a free treatment.

The last for the day too, because it was already six in the afternoon.

“Well, well, well,” a voice called from behind me, drawing me out of my musings. “Look who decided to walk my streets without permission.”

“What can I say,” I chuckled while turning around and finding Valiant Heart standing just behind me. “I’m a bit of a rebel.”

She had a cute little baby blue button up shirt and a dark blue police hat with all the fixings. She even had aviator sunglasses on.

“Well, I think I can let you off with a warning this time,” Valiant chuckled as she removed the sunglasses and put them under her hat. “But don’t cause any trouble, cause I got a date tonight with my stallion.”

“I don’t think drinks at the local pub counts as a date, Valiant,” I chuckled before giving the mare a hug.

“Awww, you broke character,” Valiant sighed in disappointment. “I had this whole thing planned out and everything.”

“I’ll make it up to you,” I chuckled before turning to continue home. “Your shift over yet, or…”

“I still have an hour left,” Valiant shrugged. “Kind of boring since all I do is either sit behind a desk or walk around town.”

“At least they let you walk around,” I replied. “You’ve been here for only a little while. Trust me when I say that there will be action.”

“I’m both looking forward to it and dreading it,” Valiant chuckled. “As long as I don’t have to run through town being chased by Rainbow Dash again, I’ll be fine.”

“She still mistaking you for your sister?” I chuckled, remembering when she first told me the story a few days ago. “You’d think she’d remember by now.”

“As long as she doesn’t find out we’re related, I’ll be fine,” Valiant sighed before giving me a smirk. “So, we meeting at your place or…”

“I’m just heading home to change,” I replied while pointing to my outfit. We had finally settled on an actual uniform for me and it was basically either a light baby blue or very light pink collared shirt with a simple black cotton pair of pants and a pair of black shoes that Rarity was finally able to make.

“These aren’t exactly drinking cloths,” I chuckled. “Once I change, I’ll be at Twilights. I’m actually pretty close at finally getting levitation down.”

“Alright then, I’ll be there in a few hours to get you,” Valiant giggled before wandering off, swaying her flanks as she did. “And If things go my way, you won’t be needing cloths at all.”

“By the words of Trace Adkins,” I said to myself as I watched Valiant walk away. “Hate to see her go, but love to watch her leave.”

“Whacha doin?” Pinkie Pie asked as her face suddenly appeared beside my face, her eyes looking at me.

“Starring,” I chuckled, not reacting to her sudden appearance at all. For some reason, that little feeling in the back of my head that tells me when someone is nearby or watching me, has been a lot better than normal.

When Pinkie Pie is nearby without me knowing, it feels like someone is literally touching my brain.

I think it’s her.

“Do you like butts? Because you’re always staring at them when nopony is looking,” Pinkie Pie giggled as she fell to the ground on all fours.

“Maybe,” I chuckled at the mare. Let’s be honest, she caught me and there’s no denying it. “Why, jealous?”

“Maybe a little,” Pinkie giggled. After the whole poison joke incident, Pinkie had become a little flirty with me and even though it’s only been a few days, we started to make a thing out of it.

“Offers still open Pinkie,” I replied in a smirk. “You, me and five pounds of pudding; all you gotta do is ask.”

“Make it cotton candy and we’ll talk,” Pinkie giggled back with a small blush. This is about as far as it would get.

“There we go, there’s the blush,” I chuckled. “That’s four me, with two for you.”

“I’ll get you next time,” Pinkie giggled before hopping away.

Once again, I stopped to watch.

“Woo wee, shut my mouth.”

“Chris, it’s still connected,” Twilight sighed as she looked at the gray smoke tendril that connected my right arm to a small ball. “All I have to do is sever the connection.”

“Sorry Twi, I just can’t get it to work like that,” I sighed while putting the ball down. The first thing Twilight had shown me do was how to levitate. The only problem was that my magic always left a visible trail, that when cut with magic, basically undid it.

“Maybe Princess Luna knows how,” Twilight commented.

“She said it’s a type of feedback loop,” I groaned out while taking a seat. “Like recycling my used magic into my body. Wouldn’t tell me why it happens though; something about not being ready yet.”

“I think…” Twilight began as she looked at the ball I had been lifting. “I may know why. But she should be the one to tell you incase I’m wrong.”

“Whatever you say Sparkle butt,” I chuckled, earning a similar reaction from Spike and a blushing glare from the mare.

“What did Princess Luna want anyways?” Spike asked as he handed me a cup of water. “And why do you want so much water?”

“My weekly letter and because of reasons,” I replied before finishing my drink.

“What?” Spike asked before looking at Twilight.

“Oh, what did you write?” Twilight asked as she put away the ball and a few different books.

“Powerful words,” I replied with a smile before there was a knock on the door.

“It’s a library, why does everypony knock?” Spike groaned as he went to open the door.

“Hey Spike,” Valiant said as the door swung open to reveal her. She no longer had her uniform, but she did have on a small bowler hat.

“What’s with the hat?” I chuckled out as Twilight and Spike joined in.

“Found it in the lost and found, and noponies come for it in weeks,” Valiant shrugged. “Thought I’d wear it around so its owner could find it. If not, I get a cool new hat.”

“Okay, well lets head on out,” I chuckled as I stood up and headed for the door. “Same time tomorrow, Twilight?”

“Yeah, and have fun you two,” Twilight said as me and Valiant headed off.

“So, you and Twilight do it yet?” Valiant asked as we walked, the sun close to setting and ponies making their way home.

“Why do you want to know?” I couldn’t help but ask with a raised brow.

“Just do,” Valiant shrugged.

“Well, when you need to know, you’ll know,” I replied as we turned down another street, the towns local pub just a few buildings away.

“You sure you don’t want to go to a restaurant or have a picnic?” I asked as we made it to the building. A large sign over the door revealing it to be “The Creaky Hoof”.

“I like this plan so much better,” Valiant said as she dragged me into the bar. “Besides, we could always do what you and Gilda did.”

“One, never again,” I replied with a scared look. Instead of a date, Gilda wanted to do something special.

So, turns out that some gryphons like to have sex while plummeting to the ground at impossible speeds.

“…never again,” I shuddered.

“And two?” Valiant asked as she removed the hat and took a seat at a small table.

“You don’t have wings,” I replied as I looked around the place. It had that classic feel and had plenty of room.

A large tan stallion stood behind the bar fixing up a few drinks as a mare with mulberry fur and a cutie mark of berries walked around taking orders from a few of the patrons.

“Hey, Berry,” Valiant greeted as the mare made her way to us.

“Hey there, Heart,” Berry Punch greeted as she gave the two of us a nod. “Guess I owe that lug ten bits.”

“Love you too hun,” the large stallion behind the bar called without even looking.

“Can I get you two anything?” Berry asked as she looked up at me.

“Get me a regular,” Valiant replied as I stopped to think, and not about how she already had a “regular” drink.

“Got any moonshine whisky?” I asked after a few moments.

“Hun, if I had that, I wouldn’t be here,” Berry replied with a shake of her head. “I’ll just get you what we have on tap and you can decide from there.”

“Darn,” I sighed as Berry wandered off. “That stuff was actually pretty good.”

“It’s also insanely expensive,” Valiant replied as I finally decided to sit down. The tables were low enough that all a pony needed to do was sit on their hutches, which didn’t work for me at all.

“Hey, no sitting on the tables,” the stallion from behind the bar called as he noticed where I was sitting.

“Sorry,” I replied before standing back up.

“Sucks for you,” Valiant giggled as Berry returned with our drinks. While Valiant’s was clear and had a potency, I could smell from where I stood, mine ended up tasting like a slightly watered-down Jack on ice.

“I’ll just start you two a tab,” Berry said as she left.

“Now that is what I’m talking about,” Valiant sighed blissfully after her first sip.

“And here I was hoping that I finally found a place where I could out drink anyone,” I sighed while drinking. I thought the drinks here in Equestria would be weaker than those from home.

I was horribly wrong.

“Don’t worry, Chris,” Valiant said as she took a large gulp of her drink. “I’ll show you a few tricks.”

“We’ll see about that,” I chuckled as the bars doors opened and a surprising sight walked in.

“Is that DJ Pon-3?” I asked as Vinyl Scratch walked in, her white fur and blue mane standing out in the rustic building.

“Who?” Valiant asked as she looked at the door. “No, that kids name is Vinyl something.”

“Scratch,” I finished for her while taking a big gulp of my drink. I immediately noticed that Vinyl seemed to be having trouble getting a cart through the door.

“What are you doing?” Valiant asked as I placed my drink down and began to head over.

“Helping her out,” I replied as I continued forward.

“Hey, need some help?” I asked as I reached the doorway.

Vinyl remained silent as she had her back to me, trying to pull her cart through the doorway. Her cart, which I could now see clearly, was just slightly too large for the door way.

“I’m sorry but she can’t hear you,” a refined voice told me from outside. Looking up, I saw another shocking sight, as Octavia stuck her head from over the side, possibly holding the door open. “My friend, Vinyl here, is unfortunately hard of hearing, close to deaf really.”

“Oh…” I replied, still a little shocked that these two were here. “Well, do you two need help?”

“Just a moment,” Octavia replied before she reached out and tapped Vinyl’s side. Once she had the other mare’s attention, she proceeded to repeatedly tap Vinyl before pointing back to me.

Raising a brow, Vinyl turned and looked back at me, and even though her eyes were hidden by her shades, I could still tell that they widened at the sight of me.

After a few moments, she gave a slightly hesitant nod before moving to the side.

“Right,” I nodded as well before looking the situation over. It was pretty obvious that the cart would have to be emptied out first if they wanted to bring it inside. “The carts going to have to be empty if you want to bring it inside.”

“No, we’ll just the carry the equipment in,” Octavia replied with a sigh. “The cart would have just made it easier.”

With that, Octavia looked at Vinyl before pointing to the equipment and then towards the back of the bar.

Sagging slightly herself, Vinyl nodded before her horn began to glow magenta and some of the equipment was removed from the cart.

“All right then,” I said as I decided to continue my help and grab what looked like two small subwoofers.

“Just set them up against the back wall please,” Berry said as she also appeared to help.

“This a common thing or…?” I asked as I helped with the equipment.

“Oh this?” Berry said as she looked towards Vinyl, who seemed to only move a few pieces at a time with her magic. “No, we tend to let a small band play every now and then, but they weren’t available.

“I remember hearing about a filly looking to start off a music career, so I thought that it couldn’t hurt,” Berry said with a smile.

“And I can’t help but thank you again,” Octavia said as she walked in with a few final pieces. “Vinyl has been a worried that nopony would ever give her a chance.”

“Give her a chance for what?” I asked as I watched said mare begin to put together her sound system. “You’d think ponies would be lining up and down the street for DJ Pon-3.”

“DJ… what 3?” Octavia asked as she looked back at Vinyl. “Uh, her names Vinyl Scratch.”

“Uh… right, sorry,” I quickly replied, realizing that I may have found something that doesn’t match up with what I thought was true. “Kinda got my thoughts mixed up. Bit of a lightweight when it comes to the drinking game.”

“Speaking of which,” Valiant suddenly giggled as she popped up beside me with my half-finished drink in her hoof. “You mind finishing this so we can move on to the Cart-bombs?”

“Done,” I smiled at my way out, taking the drink and finish it in one go.

“That’s what I’m talking about,” Valiant chuckled before hoping up and giving me a smooch.

“Good evening, Officer Heart,” Octavia greeted with a slightly strained smile. “I didn’t expect to see you here.”

“My herd stallion asked me on a date and I wanted to come here,” Valiant chuckled before fixing a slight glare at Octavia. “Doesn’t explain why you’re here though.”

“My friend is providing tonight’s music,” Octavia replied with a slight growl.

“Okay, brake it up you two,” Berry voiced out. “No fighting in my bar or I’ll have you both banned.”

“And that’s our cue to go back to our seats,” I said before picking Valiant up and returning to our table.

“What the hell was that all about?” I asked Valiant after setting her down. “Do you know Octavia?”

“Her, no,” Valiant replied with a frown. “But there isn’t a royal guard who doesn’t know her father. Damn hog is leader of one of Equestria’s largest mafia family in Manehatten.”

“One, damn, did not see that coming,” I said in shock. “And two, that doesn’t explain how she knew you.”

“Responded to a noise complaint the other night at her house,” Valiant sighed as she sat back. “Her friend simply forgot to put up a noise canceling spell, but we got it fixed.”

“Alright then,” I shrugged before leaning against the table.

“Here, try using this,” Berry said as she showed up with a small stool.

“Thanks,” I replied as I was finally able to take a seat.

“Now then,” Berry said before looking at me and Valiant. “What else can I get you two?”

“I win,” I smiled cheerfully, although also very very drunk.

“Only because you cheated,” Valiant replied with a giggle.

Instead of cart-bombs, Valiant decided that she wanted to play a drinking game. So, like a bit of an idiot, I bet her that I could finish three glasses of whisky before she could finish five shots. The only stipulation was that we could not touch the persons drink glasses.

So the moment I finished my first drink, I set the empty glass upside down over one of her full shots and finished my other two drinks soon after.

“Ish not cheating, its smarts,” I chuckled while pointing to my head as my finger trailed from there to my nose and lips. “So, whash I win?”

“Fine,” Valiant smiled before leaning forward and whispering something very enticing in my ear.

“Done! Lets go!” I blurted out, grabbing her hoof and trying to pull her out.

“Hey, just cause your sloshed, doesn’t mean I am,” Valiant giggled as she pulled her hoof free.

“Where’s the music?” I suddenly asked. It had been about twenty minutes since Vinyl had begun to set up and I hadn’t even heard a sound check yet.

“I think she’s having some difficulties,” Valiant said as she pointed towards Vinyl’s set up.

Both Berry and Octavia watched the, nicely shaped in my opinion, back half of Vinyl, as the mare was wedged under her soundboard, different wires sprawled out around her.

“Don’t worry, I got this,” I said before talking one of Valiant’s shots and finishing in one go.

“Damn, you really are a light weight,” Valiant giggled as I partially stumbled over to the mess.

“I gosh this,” I commented as I pushed past Berry and Octavia.

“What are you…” Octavia began, stopping when she saw me grab one of Vinyl’s legs and pulled her from under the equipment. “HEY!”

“I gosh this,” I repeated once again, kneeling down and sliding under the equipment.

“Oh, this ish goin to be easy,” I chuckled before I began to connect several wires and plugs.

“Get the buck out from there, you drunk or I’ll call the police!” Octavia’s voice called out, but I ignored it. My mind was too cloudy to focus on anything but the thing in front of me.

I didn’t even notice Vinyl’s ineffective attempts to pull me away from her equipment.

“Aaaaaand… done,” I chuckled as I plugged in the last loose cable. The moment it locked in, the familiar hum of energy began to fill my ears.

“Like music to my ears,” I smiled as I crawled out from under the system.

Once Vinyl noticed lights begin to alight on her soundboard, she immediately stopped trying to pull me away from her equipment as a look of shock crossed her face.

“That was easy,” I chuckled out to a crowd of angry looking ponies. A part of me hopping to find that big red Staples button waiting close by.

“Vinyl, he didn’t break anything, did he?” Octavia asked her friend aloud and in taps against her side, an angry glare directed straight at me.

“No, not by the looks of it,” Vinyl replied in a young voice as she began to look over everything, shocking the crap out of me.

“Holy shit, you can talk!?” I blurted out, only to feel bad a moment later.

“Yes, she can, you insensitive cur,” Octavia huffed, drawing my drunken attention. “She didn’t always have hearing issues.”

“That was…” Vinyl began as she held a hoof against one of her speakers.

“Rude!” Octavia said, opening her mouth to continue, but falling silent to Vinyl.

“Awesome!” Vinyl cheered before she rushed over to Octavia. “It takes me half an hour to plug those in and most of it is just sorting the wires and he got it done in just a couple of minutes.”

“But you did most of the work!” Octavia said as she tapped it against Vinyl’s side.

“Actually… I kinda made it worse,” Vinyl chuckled sheepishly. “I was psyching myself out and ended up just mixing most of the wires around even more.”

“Rock on!” I shouted, throwing up some devil horns and earning a few laughs from the bar’s patrons.

“So… will the music be ready soon?” Berry asked out loud.

“Vinyl, don’t you think it’s time to begin?” Octavia asked her friend before glaring at me again.

“R-right, I-I got this!” Vinyl stuttered as a she made her way behind her set up with a slightly worried look.

Aside from her sound board, which actually had two vinyl discs on it, she had several speakers and subwoofers spread out behind her and the room.

“Heh, high Tec compared to what I’ve seen,” I chuckled to myself before Vinyl’s horn lit with her magic and a soft base began to fill the room. After a few sound checks, the mare seemed confident in her set up and with a nod, began to play her first song.

It was okay…

“That was anti-climactic,” I said, still able to hear myself talk. Looking in the room, I noticed that the few patrons didn’t even seem to notice the music playing. A quick glance at Octavia also told me that she was slightly disappointed too.

“This can’t be it, right?” I asked, drawing Octavia’s attention as Berry walked off with a small smile.

“What do you mean?” Octavia asked, still a little annoyed with me.

“Probably because this song is nowhere near as good as what you were paying when I was called,” Valiant said as she wandered over with a large drink in hoof that she quickly gave to me. “Aside from it being absurdly loud, it was actually really good.”

“Yes, your right,” Octavia sighed as we all looked back at the DJ. Who was basically just standing there on her hind legs, making a few changes here and there.

“She’s basically afraid to get booed,” Octavia sighed. “She’s very self-conscious about her music.”

“I’ll be honest myself,” I sighed listening to what was playing and looking around. What was on could be considered dub step, but it was very low key. “This isn’t the kind of place for Dub-step.”

“Dub-step?” the other two asked together, both completely confused by my statement.

“Dub-trot or whatever it is she’s playing,” I sighed. “If she really wants to go big, she’ll need to either go to a night club and perform there or make her own.”

“I guess that makes sense,” Octavia sighed.

“I’d still like to hear what she has though,” Valiant giggled as Berry gave her another drink.

“I gosh this,” I smirked while snagging Valiant’s drink as well. I made it two steps before Octavia stopped me with a shocked expression.

“You can’t honestly think about giving her one of those?!” Octavia asked in a hushed tone.

“No, I’m not thinking, I’m doing,” I replied with a smirk. “Why?”

“She’s only eighteen!” Octavia snapped.

“Oh…” I muttered before looking at Valiant. “Whats the legal drinking age in Equestria again?”

“Twenty?” Valiant replied as I smirked at her response.

“Happy Birthday!”

“God damn it…” I groaned out as consciousness returned to me. My mind was a fog that was slowly beginning to clear.

The first thing I noticed was that I was in a bed. Then came the feeling of at least three body’s surrounding me. One on each side and one on my chest.

But the thing that really caused me to stir and force my eyes open was that I was inside something tight and warm.

It didn’t take a genius to figure out what.

“I should really stop drinking…” I groaned out as my eyes opened to a mess of neon blue hair.

“HOLY SHIT!” I blurted out, throwing Vinyl off of me and freeing myself from her while tossing the others off the bed as well.

“BWAH!” they all shouted as they were forced awake when they contacted the floor.

“What the fuck happened last night?!” I blurted out as Vinyl, Octavia and Valiant sat up with a groan.

“I get you a four way and you repay me by throwing us out of bed?” Valiant groaned as she rubbed her head. “Kinky.”

“What?” I asked while looking at the other two. Octavia looked annoyed as she tried to fix her mane while Vinyl was staring at me a little hungrily.

“After you gave little miss teen here some ‘liquid courage’, she started playing the good stuff,” Valiant giggled as she stood up.

“Some of the other patrons didn’t like it did they?” I groaned out while looking down at my naked body.

“They tolerated it at first,” Octavia filled in with a heavy sigh. “But once you and Vinyl got a little too drunk…”

“I didn’t brake anything, did I?” I asked while getting out of the bed. The moment I stood up, Vinyl’s eyes went straight for my crotch, which was still at full mast.

“Just Vinyl’s cherry,” Valiant smirked. “You’re lucky the legal age for mating is 16 in Equestria, or I would have put you under arrest for some of the things you did last night, I’ll let the drinking thing slide though sense I kind of let it happen too.”

“God damn it…” I sighed as I looked over at the mentioned mare.

She was drooling.

“She gonna be alright?” I asked while taking the nearby blanket and covering myself.

“She’ll be fine,” Octavia groaned as she smacked the back of her friend’s head. “But if you could leave my room, that would be great.”

“Okay…” I said as I took a quick look around the room. It was slightly spacious and filled with classical music paraphernalia and even had a large cello set up in the far corner.

“Uh… where are my clothes?” I asked as I made my way out of the room and into a large living area.

“Everywhere,” Valiant giggled as she followed me out, pointing towards the clothing spread across the room.

“What time is it?” I asked while collecting my clothing and putting them on.

“Seven thirty amazingly,” Octavia sighed as she and Vinyl walked out. I was just about to pull my underpants up when Vinyl’s magic stopped it.

Octavia groaned as she walked into the room in a purple bathrobe. “If you dirty my floor, your cleaning it.”

“That’s the spot,” Rarity sighed as I kneaded some of her back muscles.

“Good to see your enjoying yourself,” I chuckled at Rarity’s comment. After my morning at Vinyl’s, I still had to go to work.

“No wonder, Fluttershy fell asleep,” Rarity cooed as I dug in a little deeper. “Your fingers were made for this.”

“You are doing very good, Chris,” Aloe smiled as she looked over everything. “I’m am pleased to say that you may now work as a proper masseuse.”

“That’s great!” I smiled while looking back at Aloe, my hands trailing down to Rarity’s flanks without me noticing.

“Oh…I’m sorry darling, but I’m going to have to turn that service down,” Rarity giggled, drawing my attention to what I was doing. “Although, I won’t stop you.”

“Oops, sorry,” I chuckled moving back up to her back.

“Please be sure to pay attention, Christopher,” Aloe pointed out with a slight glare. “Me and my sister don’t wont ponies thinking were one of those kinds of spas’.”

“I get ya boss, I’ll be careful,” I nodded as I finished Rarity’s small massage.

“Aww, is that it,” Rarity sighed as she looked back at me with a playful frown. “I was just getting comfortable.”

“Next time, okay?” I offered with a smile and shrug.

“Very well,” Rarity sighed with a roll of her eyes before hopping off the table. “I still need you and Fluttershy to show up later to look over your Gala outfits.”

“Damn, forgot all about that,” I muttered in realization.

“Don’t worry darling, I thought ahead and made you something when the others asked me to help them with theirs,” Rarity giggled before turning to leave, the usual sway in her flanks. “Ta ta!”

“Goodbye miss Rarity!” Aloe called after the mare.

“Looks like I’m going to be suiting up pretty soon,” I chuckled while looking at one of my bosses. She currently sat next to the table where Fluttershy lay asleep.

“Want me to move her to the back till she wakes up?” I asked.

“Why don’t you take her home,” Aloe replied with a nod. “You did very well today, so I feel you have earned an early day. Just be sure to come in on time tomorrow, okay?”

“You got it boss,” I chuckled while scooping the sleeping mare up in my arms and cradling her. As I began to leave, Fluttershy subconsciously burrowed her face into my chest as a smile spread across her face.

“So cute,” I cooed as I headed for my home, seeing as it was closer than the others.

As I walked in, I jumped in surprise as Geralt rushed towards me.

“Whoa, down boy!” I chuckled as Geralt began to sniff the two of us.

“What are you doing back so early?” Gilda asked as she looked at a nearby clock, marveling at the fact it was only a little past lunch.

“Got out early today,” I smiled as I carried Fluttershy into the living room and placed her on my chair so she could continue to sleep.

“What’s up with her?” Gilda asked as she pointed at Fluttershy.

“Magic hands,” I chuckled while wiggling my fingers.

“And when am I going to feel these magic hands?” Gilda asked with a devious smirk while flicking her tail at me.

“You’ll need to set up an appointment then,” I chuckled while heading off to get changed into more suitable clothing.

“Where’s everyone else?” I asked, coming back into the room in a pair of dark jeans and a red short-sleeve.

“Derpy has work and Dinky’s at school,” Gilda huffed from the same couch she had been on when I left. “Your home early, remember.”

“Yeah…” I said while looking at Gilda, specifically her previously injured wing. “I bet your glade you don’t have to wear that cast anymore.”

“Your telling me,” Gilda smiled as she flexed her wings out for me to see.

“So, you’re just going to lounge around?” I asked with a smile while moving over to my chair. With a little work, I was in the chair with a sleeping Fluttershy on my chest.

“And what’s that supposed to mean?” Gilda growled as she got off the couch and tried to look big.

“Down pussy cat!” I chuckled while pulling out a spray bottle from inside my chair and squirting her.

“Ass…” Gilda grumbled as she wiped the water off his face.

“I just thought that you would be out trying to race a lightning bolt or something,” I continued while putting the bottle away.

“I…I did,” Gilda replied with a slightly nervous smile.

“You got lazy, didn’t you?” I asked with a knowing smirk.

“Shut up!” Gilda replied with a growing blush.

“Why don’t you go do some flying?” I waved off while petting Fluttershy’s mane. “Maybe you’ll finally want to join me and Rainbow Dash on our morning runs?”

“Grow a pair of wings and we’ll talk,” Gilda mumbled as she left the hose, slamming the door in the process.

“Huh…” Fluttershy softly yawned finally waking up. “Where… where am I?”

“At my place,” I greeted, kissing the mares nose as she looked up at me. “Have a nice nap?”

“Oh yes, it was very nice,” Fluttershy cutely smiled as she looked at me. “That was a good massage by the way.”

“Thanks, Fluttershy,” I smiled while picking the mare up and placing her on the ground before standing up myself. “Ready to head over to Rarity’s?”

“Can we have some lunch first?” Fluttershy asked. “I’m kind of hungry.”

“Sure Fluttershy, let’s see what I have in the fridge,” I said before leading the way to the kitchen.

“God damn!” I said looking myself over in the large mirror in Rarity’s room.

“We are some sexy bitches,” I told the small dragon next to me in a nasally voice.

“Meh,” Spike shrugged as he looked down at the small black tuxedo top her wore. “I think yours looks better than mine.”

“I’ll take that as a complement,” I said while staring at myself in the mirror.

Rarity had made me a perfectly fitted white tuxedo with golden trimmings. Under it, I had a white button up shirt with a wine-red vest and a matching white tie. She even made me a matching pair of gloves and shoes.

“I’m gonna go check on the others,” I said while unlocking my phone and handing it to the drake. “Listen to some music till I get back and I’ll show you how to tie a… tie.”

“Okay,” Spike replied while I walked out of the room. A few minutes later, I was back in the main room of the boutique and found a surprising sight.

“Where… where is everyone?” I asked a disappointed looking Rarity.

“Oh… Chris, how is the outfit? Does it fit properly?” Rarity asked while putting on a forced smile.

“Its great,” I replied with a smile. “It isn’t restricting at all and the color matches my element well at least.”

“Yes, but… do you want anything changed?” Rarity asked, a slight look of worry crossing her face for a split second.

“Since I don’t have a clue about fashion, I’ll leave any changes up to you,” I replied with a smile, earning a relived sigh.

“At least somepony is happy,” Rarity sighed as she looked at the five manikins behind her. The other elements dresses proudly displayed on each.

“Did the others not like their dresses?” I asked, faking ignorance.

“No, no, it’s not that,” Rarity sighed as she looked over a large list she had. “They just had some… suggestions.”

“Well, I think they look great,” I commented as I looked them over. “But like I said, I don’t do fashion.”

“Thank you darling,” Rarity sighed with a smile while floating the list off to somewhere. “I do try hard.”

“Did everyone already leave?” I asked while looking around again.

“Yes, they all had things they needed to finish today,” Rarity sighed. “As do I, by the looks of it.”

“You don’t need to push yourself,” I told the mare.

“And I won’t, I promise dear,” Rarity told me, offering an appreciative smile. “Now please go take off your suit. I want to recheck a few stitches.”

“Alright, Rarity,” I nodded as I began to head back to the mare’s room. “I’ll be right back.”

Once I made it back to the room, I stopped just outside the door.

“What the…?” I began as I noticed a familiar tune playing from inside.

Opening the door, I was shocked to find Spike without his tuxedo top on and dancing around the room.

“Come on Barbie lets go party!” Spike sung along, using my phone as a microphone.

Even though this caught me off guard, one small thing jumped to the forefront of my mind.

“When the hell did I download that song?”

“…Alright Berry,” I said as I helped the mare off the table. “That’s it for your session.”

“That was amazing,” Berry Punch sighed as she rolled her head a little. “Carrot Top was right about this.”

“Well, if you ever want another, you know where I work,” I chuckled while leading the mare to the front. But I was surprised to find Rarity waiting for me.

The poor mare looked haggard and her mane was far from pristine… by her standards.

“Christopher, darling, thank goodness,” Rarity sighed as she noticed me.

“Good afternoon, Rarity,” I greeted as Berry went to pay her bill. “What can I do for you?”

“Darling, I need your help,” Rarity almost begged.

“What’s wrong?” I asked, mildly concerned. Today was the day of the fashion show for the “New” dresses Rarity made for the others, so I knew things weren’t going to go well for the mare.

“Darling, I don’t think I can do the fashion show…” Rarity sighed as her body sagged further. She honestly looked very tired. “The others dresses… their just so… I don’t even know what to say.”

“I get it,” I sighed with a nod before brushing a loose strand of her mane back into place.

“Hoity Toity is going to be there,” Rarity blurted out in fear. “And when he see’s those dresses… my career will be ruined.”

“Then have the others wear the original dresses you made,” I replied while taking a knee. “I know they had their own ideas, but you made those dresses with each of them in mind and you shouldn’t be afraid to ask them to wear them.”

“Do you mind coming and wearing your suit?” Rarity suddenly asked, apparently disregarding what I had said.

“Y-yeah, let me just tell the others that I’m clocking out early, okay?” I offered while giving her a small scratch behind the ear.

“Thank you darling,” Rarity sighed as I moved to find the others.

“Glad to see you here, Chris,” Spike greeted as I stepped out of Rarity’s room in my new suit. “And looking good as always.”

“Uh… what?” I asked, caught off guard by that last comment.

“Uh… I mean…” Spike began to stutter with a blush. “That came out wrong.”

“Okay… let’s forget that happened,” I said while moving to the main room.

The others all stood with one another, gushing over their dresses… the ones they basically made.

“Alright everypony, let’s get this show started!” Spike proclaimed as he rushed past me.

“Yeah!” Rainbow dash replied as she rushed out the front door and towards the large stage they had constructed outside. I could even see Vinyl setting up her equipment from a nearby window.

“You look very handsome, Chris,” Fluttershy told me as she and Twilight walked over to me, the others making their way out.

“Thank you Fluttershy,” I nodded, deciding not to comment on their dresses. “Rarity does great work.”

“Do you like our dresses?” Twilight asked as she tried to show hers off. “Each constellation is completely correct in placement and angle.”

“They’re… nice,” commented before pushing past them with a slightly uncomfortable smile. “Let’s just get to the stage, alright?”

“Your right,” Twilight replied as she made to leave. “Come on Fluttershy.”

“Oh… I hope there aren’t a lot of ponies out there,” Fluttershy commented as she left.

“This is going to go horribly…” I sighed before following them out.

“What’s everypony looking at?” Applejack asked the others as Spike and I watched from the side.

The entire crowed was silent and even Vinyl had stopped her music to getter a better look at the mares’ outfits.

“Oh dear…” Twilight said as she began to look uncomfortable.

“You think we over did it?” Rainbow Dash asked as she landed on the stage.

“Nah,” Applejack replied with a wave of her galosh covered hoof.

“My eyes!” I heard someone shout from the back, catching me off guard and causing me to chuckle at the same time.

“Okay, maybe a little,” Applejack sighed with a look of embarrassment and shame, her boots squeaking slightly.

“Oh, those amateurish designs look like a piled-on mishmash of everything but a kitchen sink! It's a travesty is what it is,” Hoity Toity bellowed from the crowed. “Those outfits are the ugliest things I've ever seen, oh for shame. Who is responsible for subjecting our eyes to these horrors? Not to mention wasting my valuable time.”

At this, Spike quickly rushed out from the side and quickly pulled Rarity out from behind the stage, most likely having missed what the stallion had said.

“Come on out and take a bow, Rarity,” Spike told the frightened mare. “You worked really hard on this!”

I could only sigh heavily before putting my face into my hand.

“Rarity? Are you okay in there?” Pinkie Pie asked through Rarity’s bedroom door. “You haven’t come out for days.”

“I’m never coming out! I can’t show my face in Ponyville ever again!” Rarity sobbed from inside the room. “I used to be somepony. I used to be respected. I made dresses. Beautiful, beautiful dresses! But now everypony is laughing at me. I'm nothing but a laughing stock!”

“You’re not a laughing stock, Rarity…” Twilight answered back with a saddened look.

“She kinda is…” Rainbow Dash commented.

“Shut it Rainbow!” I hissed before Twilight continued.

“Come on out and talk to us,” Twilight called.

“Leave me alone! I vant to be alone! I want to wallow in... whatever it is that ponies are supposed to wallow in!” Rarity sobbed through the door. “Do ponies wallow in pity? Oh, listen to me, I don't even know what I'm supposed to wallow in! I'm so pathetic!”

“Now what do we do?” Twilight asked as she turned back to the rest of us.

“Uh… panic?” Fluttershy offered meekly.

“That’s your answer for everything!” Rainbow Dash groaned.

“And yours is “Blah blah, ten seconds flat”,” I told Rainbow with a roll of my eyes. “You say it, like, ten times a day.”

“Well, we can’t just leave Rarity like this,” Applejack worriedly said as she looked towards the door.

“She’ll be come a crazy cat lady!” Pinkie Pie suddenly shouted in fear, drawing a chuckle from me and annoyed looks from the others.

“She only has one cat,” Twilight groaned.

“Give her time,” Pinkie pointed out.

“That still doesn’t solve our problem,” Rainbow Dash voiced. “How are we going to get her to come out?”

“I may have an idea,” I replied, deciding to go for broke before leading everyone in the main room. Once there, I stood before the five original dresses that Rarity had made before looking back at the mares.

“So… what’s your idea?” Rainbow Dash asked.

“The dresses,” I pointed out. “We put on another show, only this time, you wear the dresses Rarity fully intended you to wear.”

“Will that really work?” Applejack asked.

“To get her social standing back, yes,” I nodded. “But that is only part of the plan.”

Walking to Rarity’s work station, I found the drawings for the dress that she wanted to make for herself.

“We’ll make this for her to wear,” I said as I picked the drawing up and held it for the others to see.

“I have an idea too!” Spike said as he suddenly ran off.

“Where the hay is he going?” Rainbow Dash asked as Spike ran out of the building.

“Don’t worry, he’ll be back,” I commented while looking around. “Now, who’s ready to put on a real show?”

“Thanks for doing this again, Vinyl,” I said while helping to reinstall the mare’s set up.

“How many times do I have to remind you that she can’t hear you?” Octavia sighed as she looked at me under the equipment. “And you do realize that you’re in a very expensive suit right now?”

“Semantics,” I replied before climbing out and turning the tables over to the white mare.

“Thanks stud,” Vinyl grinned as she went behind the tables, flashing me a quick glance at her marehood as she went.

“Just invite her to your Celestia forsaken herd already,” Octavia groaned as she saw the display. “She won’t stop talking about you.”

“Tell her we’ll talk after the show,” I replied before turning to the stage and rushing behind the curtain.

“Oh, Chris! Thank you so much, darling!” Rarity bellowed, crashing into me the moment I was behind the curtain. The other girls currently changing in another area.

“Uh… it was a joint effort,” I replied, just barley keeping my balance as Rarity nuzzled my chest. “You better get changed though, I hear Spike got Hoity Toity to come back.”

“It was easy,” Spike replied as he buttoned up his tuxedo coat. “All I had to do was tell him that Chris actually made the outfits.”

“Thank you, Spike,” Rarity smiled as she released me and trotted over to him, kissing his cheek before continuing to a back area to change.

“Damn, Spike,” I groaned, drawing the small dragon’s attention. “Just crush a guy’s fashion career before it even starts why don’t ya?”

“Fillies and Gentalcolts,” Spike began as the spot light focused on him.

“Boys and girls,” I added with a smile as the light expanded to incorporate me as well. Both he and I stood in front of the closed curtains, the girls ready to walk the small makeshift stage. The small crowd’s eyes immediately drawn to my outfit.

“Welcome to a feast for the eyes,” I continued, talking into a small mike Vinyl had provided for me.

With that, me and Spike separated, both walking towards separate sides as the curtain opened enough for Twilight to begin her stroll.

“I don’t know about you, Spike, but there seems to be a new constellation in the sky,” I chuckled out as Twilight walked out for the crowed.

“Hello…” I heard Hoity Toity mutter from just outside the stage, shifting his glasses down to get a better look. “Oh, this defiantly can’t be the same designer.”

“Looks like we’ll need to talk to Princess Luna,” Spike replied with a smile as Twilight walked back and Applejack made her way forward.

“Simply magnificent! And I suddenly have a fierce craving for some Dutch apple pie, candied apples on a stick, apple turnovers, apple cobbler...” Hoity Toity began to drone on.

“And now I’m hungry,” I chuckled as Applejack gave the crowed a small wink before walking back and allowing Pinkie Pie to hop forward.

“Now that’s a lotta sugar,” Spike chuckled as Pinkie smiled at the crowed before turning back.

“Brilliant!” Hoity Toity proclaimed, almost falling over when Rainbow Dahs zipped on stage.

“It’s a bird, it’s an air ship!” I called out.

“It’s Rainbow Dash!” Spike finished as Rainbow took a moment to soak in the admiration.

“Oh, spectacular!” Hoity Toity called as Rainbow made her way back and Fluttershy meekly stepped forward.

“Smells like morning dew if I had to say so,” I spoke out to the crowed, flashing the shy mare a quick wink of encouragement.

“Reminds me of a calm brook in the forest,” Spike sighed blissfully as Fluttershy quickly made her way back.

“Now this is a fashion show! All of these dresses are absolutely amazing. Who is responsible? Step forward, show yourself!” Hoity Toity called as Rarity elegantly stepped out for a bow in her new dress.

“Oh, thank you. Thank you! Thank you so much!” Rarity almost wept as the crowed gave their praise.

“Thank you all for arriving at today’s entertainment!” I called out to the slowly dispersing crowed.

“If you would like to put in an order for your own dress, please speak to Rarity during regular business hours,” Spike called out as we began to pack up.

“That went pretty well,” I told everyone as I walked behind the curtain with Spike.

“How did I do?” Fluttershy asked as she came up to me.

“You were very brave,” I replied, leaning down and giving her a small kiss on the cheek.

“Oh, I can’t thank you all enough,” Rarity called as she joined us back stage, Vinyl and Octavia following behind.

“We’re sorry again for the whole dress fiasco, Rarity,” Twilight said as the others nodded in agreement. “We should have trusted you to begin with.”

“All water under the bridge darling,” Rarity replied as the six joined up in a group hug.

“Chris, Spike, get over here you two,” Rarity called when she noticed us at the side.

“And ruin this suit,” I chuckled as Spike rushed over and joined the hug.

“After seeing that, I may just have to get a dress myself,” Octavia commented as she and a widely smiling Vinyl made their way over.

“I don’t see why not,” I replied as I looked at Vinyl. “Uh… is she okay?”

“You said that you would talk about her joining your herd after the show,” Octavia replied with a roll of her eyes. “So here she is.”

“Oh,” I replied while scratching the back of my head. “Hey Fluttershy!”

“Yes?” the mare asked as she broke away from the group and made her way over.

“Vinyl wants to join the herd,” I told her. “What do ya say?”

“Oh, she does?” Fluttershy asked with a smile before looking at said mare with a critical eye. “Why do you want to join?”

“She can’t hear you,” Octavia replied for Vinyl. “She lost most of her hearing when she was still a filly.”

“Oh, you poor thing, of course you can join,” Fluttershy almost wept as she pulled the mare into a hug.

“Does this mean I’m in?” Vinyl asked aloud with a smile.

“You wanted to see me, Rarity?” I asked the mare as I stepped into her shop fully. It was well into the night now, but Rarity had asked to see me after everything had been broken down and put away.

“Yes, I did,” Rarity said as she pulled out her fainting couch and took a seat on it, patting the side for me to join her. “I wanted to thank you for everything you did today.”

“It was no trouble, really,” I replied while taking a seat. “It was a group effort.”

“But I hear that it was your idea,” Rarity replied as she pressed up against my side while looking up at me with a small smirk. “There must be some way for me to repay my knight in shining armor?”

“I-I may have one idea,” I replied as Rarity began to brush one of her hooves over my lap, slowly drifting over my crotch.

“And what would that be?” Rarity giggled as she nuzzled under my chin.

“J-just let me grab my phone…” I mumbled out as I dug into my pocket, the mare pressing herself against me further. Even though she was trying her best to distract me, I was still able to pull my phone out and open the photo gallery.

“Could you make this for me?” I asked as I held the phone up for her to see.

“Make what for who?” Rarity sighed blissfully before taking a quick glance at the image I pulled up. On it was a picture of me in my Marine Corps dress blues alphas with all my medals and ribbons.

There weren’t that many unfortunately.

“Oh, this is your “phone” that Spike always talks about,” Rarity commented as she took it in her magic. I thought she would pull back, but all she decided to do was move fully onto my lap instead. “This device is quite amazing.”

“R-right,” I muttered as the mare shifted around on my lap.

“Oh, this shouldn’t be that hard,” the mare muttered as she looked over the picture while grinding her soft rump against my lap. “But that’s nowhere near enough to show my gratitude.”

“I-I think it’s enough,” I uncomfortably chuckled as I tried to keep myself from popping a boner.

I never stood a chance.

“Oh! It looks like somepony wants to say hello,” Rarity giggled as she noticed the new pressure under her plot.

“Uh…” I mumbled as the mare set my phone down to the side before looking at me with a sultry grin.
