The next day, Applejack was out in the field with her brother and a yellow stallion with red hair a wearing normal farm attire. All three ponies were in the middle of harvesting apples when Applejack released a very loud, very angry growl before punching one of the apple trees; causing all apples on it to fall off. Applejack had been angry ever since she laid eyes on Blueblood last night. Since then, he's all she ever thought about. "Uh, Applejack?" said the yellow stallion. "Y'all alright, honey?"

"Yeah, Pa, just peachy." she growled as she went over to another tree. With a loud yell, the orange mare punch it; almost knocking the whole thing over as the apples fell from it.

"Honey, does this have to do with Granny?" he asked.

*BAM*

"NO!" she growled. "Why would y'all think that?!" Applejack has just kicked the tree; knocking it out of the ground.

"Oh, y'all know, just a thought." he said.

"He put Granny in a home." she growled. "A FUCKING HOME!" Applejack picked up the tree and broke it over her knee; throwing one piece of it out of the field. The yellow stallion sighed as he walked over to Applejack placing an arm around her. He could clearly see that his daughter was upset at losing Granny Smith, but it was a punishment that had to be done. She invaded a foreign country, assaulted two members of the royal family, and nearly caused a second "Grand War", and on top of that, she got Appleblood shot. Truth be told, they did the same thing first when Spike was attacked, but that matter was resolved diplomatically.......sort of. Deep down, she knew that was a punishment that Granny deserved, but that didn't mean she agrees with it. They're many other ways Blueblood could've handled it, take away all her guns, put her under house arrest, force her to vote democrat; anything other than putting her in a home would have sufficed.

Not that far from them, Big Mac was having his own moment of anger. After finding out the Stargazer escaped, the red stallion has done nothing but worry about what might happen if they fail to find him. He could go after Spike and try to kill him, or worse, do what most psychotic ponies would do when they can't be with the one they obsess over, and that's commit murder-suicide. No, Stargazer is too egotistical to go that far, but he could attempt to take Twilight by force. Yeah, that's exactly what he might do; rape Twilight. Just the thought of him hurting one of his friends caused Big Mac's fighting spirit to rise. White aura began surrounding his body as he growled. All he wanted right now was too get his hands on Stargazer and make him pay for what he put Twilight, Spike, and everypony else through. Later tonight, he's gonna put in some training time to prepare himself for a major fight with the unicorn.......if it comes to that.

****************************

Twilight and Celestia slowly moved out of bed; being very careful not to wake Spike. The two naked mares giggled at their dragon lover before gathering up their clothes. "We should go to my room and let Spike sleep in." Twilight suggested. Celestia agreed and grabbed Twilight's hand as her former student lit up her horn. In a flash, the two naked mares teleported away to Twilight's bedroom where they didn't have to worry about waking Spike.

"So, how did you know we would be here?" Twilight asked.

"Oh, you know, mother's intuition." Celestia answered; not wanting to reveal the reason why she came over. Twilight raised an eyebrow, but soon shrugged it off; believing that she wanted to be closer to Spike after what happened in Baltimare.

"Well in any case, we should probably shower up." Twilight suggested. "We smell like sex."

Celestia chuckled and agreed with her. Twilight went over to her dresser and pulled two pairs of towles; saying it'd be quicker of they showered together. With another wave of magic, both Twilight and Celestia teleported away.

Sometime had passed before Spike finally woke up with a groan. "Ugh! What happened last night?" he groaned as he rubbed his head. "And why am I naked." It was then everything started to come back to him. He remembered Twilight asking him to look for Mr. and Mrs. Cake and he wound up walking in on them. Extreme fear started to form on his face. "Oh no, please tell me I didn't." Spike got out of bed and grabbed some clothes before running out of the room. He ran as fast as he could through the castle until he made it outside. He just had to make it to Sugar Cube Corner to see if his suspicions were true; though he hoped with all his heart they weren't. Spike ran throughout Ponyville as fast as his legs could carry him until he finally reached his destination. Approaching the door, Spike froze. His body started trembling a bit at the thought of what Mrs. Cake's reaction might be once she saw him. Would she be mad at him, would she hate him, would she be scared of him? These questions plagued Spike's mind until he opened the door and walked in. At first it didn't look like anypony was here, until he heard somepony in the back. Spike swallowed hard and slowly made his way to the kitchen where he saw Mrs. Cake putting something in the oven.

Spike swore his heart stopped for a moment upon looking at her. Fear started to take over as Spike found himself unable to confront her; standing there like a statue wondering on what to do next before Mrs. Cake turned around and saw him. "Spike!" she said surprised. Immediately, she remembered what Pinkie and the others told her about Spike being unable to control himself when his lust takes over. She also remembered how Spike groped her like a mad-dragon and how he knocked her husband through the ceiling. She felt bad for him. First, his heart gets broken, then his life winds up in danger, twice, and now he has to constantly fear whether or not he may have harmed somepony. A warm smile appeared on her face as she set everything down and walked over to Spike. "Spike." she started. "I know about your cycle."

"I did it, didn't I?" he started to panic. "I.....I ra......"

"No you didn't, Spike." she reassured as she hugged him. "I know you would never knowingly hurt me, or anypony else for that matter." Mrs. Cake's reassurance seemed to work as Spike calmed down a bit. She decided not to tell him what he did to her husband or the fact that he did indeed grope her; the poor dragon's been through enough, although, it did feel good to have him sucking her breasts like that. Speaking of breasts, Spike melted into the warm motherly embrace Mrs. Cake was giving him. The soft, warm feeling of her breasts reminded Spike of Celestia whenever she held him; albeit without the smothering. "Feel better, Spike?" Mrs. Cake asked. Spike nodded; nuzzling into her as his eyes flashed.

"Oh, Spike, I wish there was something I could to help." she thought as Spike's arms wrapped around her. With a gasp she looked down and saw Spike looking at her with glowing eyes. At that point, Spike released a small growl and grabbed Mrs. Cake's luscious plot. "S-Spike!" she said in shock. Grabbing his arms, she tried to pull him off, but he wasn't budging. "Spike, please, come back." she pleaded. Spike responded by burying his face in between her breasts while groping her plot. Mrs. Cake unwillingly let out a moan as she stumbled back against the wall as Spike continued.

"SPIKE, MRS. CAKE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" screamed a voice. Standing in the doorway of the kitchen was Pinkie Pie; wearing a shocked look on her face.

"P-Pinkie.....help." Mrs. Cake moaned as Spike picked up one of her legs so he could grind himself against her. Pinkie ran to Spike and attempted to pull him off, but he wasn't budging; going so far as to push her away with his tail. There was only one other method she could use to stop him, but knew what that would mean later on down the line. She'd seen it happen when she ran into Twilight back at the hotel. The poor mare could hardly walk after her session with him, but if she didn't do it, then Spike will wind up claiming Mrs. Cake by force. Pinkie was pulled from her thoughts when she heard Mrs. Cake shriek. Spike ripped off her apron and lifted up both her shirt and bra causing her large breasts to bounce free. The dragon took one of her nipples into his mouth and started sucking on it hard while grinding even harder against her; making Mrs. Cake moan his name out loud.

With no choice, Pinkie ran to the sink, filled up a bowl of cold water, and ran over to Spike; splashing him with it and causing the dragon to revert back to normal. "W-Wha......" he said before Pinkie pulled him into an embrace; giving Mrs. Cake time to fix herself. Spike had no idea what happened; just that he was being held by Pinkie who had tears in her eyes.

"That's it, we can't wait any longer." she thought.

****************************

Twilight and Celestia had finished their shower and were now in her bedroom. Twilight put on one of her normal outfits while Celestia simply conjured up some formal attire to wear. "By the way, Twilight." she giggled. "I believe some of Spike's habits may have rubbed off on you."

"What do you mean?" Twilight wondered.

"Well, I couldn't help but noticed that you kept staring at body while we were in the shower." Celestia giggled again. A huge blush appeared on Twilight's face and she quickly looked away from her former teacher. Twilight had always wanted a perfect body like Celestia. Twilight had an amazing figure that any stallion would drool over, it's just that compared to Celestia, she felt like a child. When she turned into an alicorn, Twilight thought her body would change along with growing a pair of wings, but to her disappointment, it didn't. Even still, Twilight still had a fair share of stallions fawning over her; especially Star.....

"Oh no, not again." Twilight thought as images of her ex-coltfriend filled her mind.

"Twilight, is something wrong?" Celestia asked; her face forming a worried look. Twilight looked over at Celestia and reluctantly answered.

"It's......it's Stargazer." she said; earning a light gasp from Celestia. Did she know that he escaped? Did he attempt to contact her? The ruler of Equestria wondered this as Twilight continued. "Ever since we got back home, he's been plaguing my mind as of late. Just about anything causes me to start thinking about him."

"Twilight.....are you.....still in love with him?" Celestia asked; afraid to hear the answer.

"I.....I don't know." Twilight answered. "I hate him for everything he did, but.....I.....I.....I can't help but miss him." Suddenly, tears started flowing down Twilight's face.

"Twilight." Celestia whispered as she moved closer to Twilight; pulling her into a hug. She hated this feeling. Although she was with Spike, Twilight still wanted to be with Stargazer; she was still in love with him, even though she doesn't want to admit it. She clung to Celestia as her heart ached thinking about both Spike and Stargazer. Celestia understood how she was feeling. Stargazer was her first love and nopony forgets their first love that easy. As she held Twilight, Celestia's mind started to wonder about Spike and if he was feeling the same way; even though his heart was broken well before Twilight's was.

"I.....I don't know if I can do this anymore." she said. "Oh, who am I kidding, I know I can't."

"Do what?" Celestia asked.

"Keep being Spike's mate." she answered. "I thought I was doing this to help him, but it's clear that i'm doing this for myself. It's not fair to him."

"Twilight.........." Celestia was about to say something to reassure Twilight when somepony started knocking on her door.

"Twilight, you in there?!" said Starlight. Twilight and Celestia broke the embrace with Twilight wiping the tears from her eyes. She went to answer the door where she saw that Starlight had a worried expression on her face.

"Starlight, what is it?" she asked.

"Twilight, Pinkie wants us to meet at Sugar Cube Corner." Starlight explained. "It's about Spike."

"Oh, it's about getting him under control, right?" she said.

"Yeah, she wants to do it as soon as possible." Starlight explained. "Since, she was forced to splash water on him earlier."

"WHAT!" screamed both Twilight and Celestia. Starlight was shocked to see that the princess was here as well. With the two of them staring at her, Starlight figured she'd better explain what happened and fast.

****************************

"I love being a unicorn." said a red stallion as he stood out on the balcony of his hospital room. "Magic fixes everything."

"Not everything." said a female voice. "It couldn't get Princess Twilight Sparkle to bang you, could it, Sentinel."

"Grrr, SHUT UP, AQUA!" he yelled as he turned back to her. Sentinel's entire crew were all gathered around Ebony's bedside playing a card game. While Sentinel used magic to fully heal himself, Ebony wanted to heal up the natural way. "IT WAS A MINOR SETBACK, THAT'S ALL!" Sentinel continued. "IF THAT LIZARD HADN'T ESCAPED, TWILIGHT WOULD'VE BEEN CLAWING BY BACK AND BEGGING FOR MORE!"

"Whatever you say, dumbass." Aqua said as the other chuckled.

Sentinel growled and turned away from them. "I swear, i'll make Twilight mine if it's the last thing I do." he thought as he stared out into what used to be a city. "That lizard will pay."
