I then use the test paper to clean the quill off and return the cork to the inkwell after writing the recipient's name on them, then wait for the ink to dry before making sure I wrote who it's from at the bottom of the letter. I then fold them up, and turn to Owlowicious saying, "Hey Owlo, be sure that the girls here get these letters, it's important they see them. Ah'll see ya later my feathered friend, ah have a farm to return to and chores to git done. Goodnight." and then make my way outside and close the door behind me and see my two horses still standing there in the gentle rain and say, "Sorry ah took so long ya two, are ya both ready to head home and call it a day?"

Angel looks to her owner and says, "We most certainly are, and we know what happened from Rainbow. You just couldn't help yourself could you?"

I then climb up into my wet seat and say, "It was either that, giving her the foal her instincts wanted, or leaving a bruise around her neck to knock her out. So naturally, I chose the less violent option. Now lets git home, HUP!" while snapping the reins at the end to signal the end of the conversation. I guide the team through the town in a large circle, watching as a few mares look out their windows with curious looks at who is out in the rain and wave at them with a smile. As I make a final turn, I see it is a straight road out of town and say, "Alright, let's give these ponies a little show of how fast you two are." I then snap the reins again to get them into a fast walk, then again for a trot, then to a slow canter and widen my feet and legs a little to better brace myself and say, "Alright ya two majestic Clydesdales, show 'em how fast ya are...HYAH!" and snap the reins hard.

Rainbow exits Roger's house when she hears a distant rumble, then sees something moving quickly along the road out of Ponyville and decides to check it out. She races over to see who it is then notices it is Roger, and circles around to fly beside him. As she flies beside him she calls out to him, "What's the big hurry Roger, is there trouble somewhere?"

I laugh and call back, "Nope, just showing them how fast these big Clydesdales are."

She chuckles and says, "Oh, okay then. They do have some speed, but they certainly are loud. I could hear a distant rumble from my spot your house, Derpy is laying on a towel on the couch in the living room napping by the way."

I then chuckle and say, "If ah had five hundred of 'em, it would sound like thunder. Thanks fer lettin' me know Rainbow, head on home and get dry."

Rainbow smiles and shoots him a salute saying, "Will do, see ya later." and takes off for home before her wings get too heavy.

I see the corner up ahead and pull back on the reins saying, "Alright ya two ease up, ease up." and watch as they slow to a trot and release the pressure on the reins, then guide them to the right side of the road and pull on the reins in my left hand.

Charlie and Angel see the corner and follow the signal and start to angle their bodies left slightly, using their hooves in tandem to turn onto the intended route as they settle down from the brief run.

I guide the team down the road to their paddock at a walk, then return the wagon to its spot behind the barn and unhook Angel first. Once I get her harness and bridle taken off of her and into the shed I say, "Alright girl, go on inside and ah'll brush ya down in a stall ok?"

Angel nods her big head and says, "Sounds fair, see you in a moment." and makes her way into the barn.

I then take care of Charlie's harness and bridle and put them into the shed, then lead him into the barn by the halter saying, "Alright boy, ah'll take ya to yer stall and then git started brushin' ya two down now." and stop just past the open stall across from Angel's, watching as he enters it and walks around for a few moments. I turn and make my way to where the brush is and grab it, then make my way to Angel's stall to brush her down first and start with her neck.

She enjoys the feeling of the brush running along her coat and says, "I enjoyed today, we both got what we wanted."

I continue brushing along her body, working the water down from her neck to her legs and reply, "Yes we did, today was a good day. The bales are all put away, the field is ready to be leveled once ah git the two stumps out by the Elevator. When that's done, ah'll be able to spread the manure on the field before ah turn the field under and cultivate it."

Charlie settles down a bit and says, "Yep. Things are finally returning to normal now. I wonder, when are we gonna work again?"

I continue brushing along her barrel and say, "Ah don't know, maybe ah'll ask Applejack if she wants any extra help 'round the farm."

Twenty minutes pass by as I make my way to the milk barn to get the cows milked, then move on to feeding the cows once that is done. Once the cows are finally fed, I then make my way back to my house to make something for dinner.

I open the outer door first and step towards the inner door, then turn the knob and open it. I then step through the doorway and close the inner door behind me and hear a gentle yawn come from the living room, and decide to see if Derpy is awake and would like anything in particular.

Derpy is just getting up when she hears someone enter the room, causing her to look up and see Roger in the archway with a smile on his face and smiles back, saying, "Hello Roger, I heard from Rainbow that you had a busy day. Do you still wish to have dinner with a mare affected by the season?"

I look at her with a smile still on my face and say, "Did you have a good nap, Derpy? Of course ah do, but unfortunately ah don't know how to cook with hay or flowers. Is there anything particular that ah can make ya vegetable-wise?"

She then thinks for a moment and says, "Hmm...oh yes I did, thank you for asking, and can you make omelets?"

I then nod and say, "Yer welcome. Ah certainly can, are there any vegetables ya don't want me to use?"

Derpy looks at him and says, "Nothing that will make it spicy, but I do like all vegetables regardless of those."

I then smile and say, "Okay then, follow me to the dining room and I will start cooking. After we eat dinner, ah'd like to talk to ya bout how ya'd like to get a foal this season." I then make my way towards the kitchen and turn the entryway light on.

She then looks away shyly and blushes at the mention of her longtime desire for a foal and nervously says, "Umm...o-okay then." and gets up off of the couch to follow him.

I enter the dining room and turn the lights on then pull out the chair closest to the kitchen for her and say, "Okay, have a seat and ah'll start makin' dinner." I then notice how nervous she is and try to calm some of it and say, "Ah know a fun fact from my world that all ponies in this world don't know yet, can you guess at what it is?" I then grin and wait for her to take a guess.

Derpy then thinks for a moment and says, "That you can fly?"

I laugh at hearing that and say, "Good guess but no, it is that ponies here can actually handle eating meat in Equestria. The first pony to prove that to me was Twilight Sparkle, and the second was Rainbow Dash through a prank. Ah told her that it was pony meat she was enjoyin' so much and she was shocked, she then looked to Twilight who continued to eat it and said, 'This tastes pretty good for pony, maybe someday I'll eat you.' and she totally freaked out for a second before ah told her that it was actually meat from a pig. We all had a good laugh at that joke, then after we had a few drinks where ah found out they can't really handle their alcohol." I then make my way into the kitchen, ready to finally eat something.

She then chuckles lightly at hearing that and gets up into the chair as he makes his way into the kitchen and says, "Oh I don't really know what alcohol is, it is shocking to hear that ponies can actually eat meat."

I smile at her and turn the lights on and begin to pull the ingredients out and ask, "Would ya like me to mix in some ham fer ya to try fer yerself?"

Derpy considers it for a moment before saying, "Ham is meat right?"

I nod my head then turn the stovetop on, set a frying pan on it, and continue chopping up the vegetables saying, "Yep it is, it's just another part of the pig's body ah noticed how ponies get a little queasy about seeing blood or even talking about it, so ah won't go into specifics." I then wait for her response.

She then smiles saying, "Thank you for being considerate, but I think I would like to try a little bit. On the side though, just in case I don't like the taste."

I then make hers first and pour in a little vegetable oil and hear it start to sizzle, then pour some beaten eggs onto the pan and add onions, hashbrowns, green pepper, black olives, mushroom, and some shredded cheese in the center and finally fold it up to seal the ingredients inside. To finish, I grab a slice of ham and set it on the cutting board and cut it into long strips, then cut them in half. I then lay a couple of pieces on the side of a plate and flip the omelet over for a few seconds before pulling it out and set it on the plate and take it over to Derpy and ask, "What would ya like to drink miss Derpy?"

Derpy chuckles lightly at being called miss and says, "Please call me Dee, I am glad you wanted to have dinner with me. It has been a while since I have last been on a date with a stallion. Do you happen to have any juice of any kind?"

I then nod and set her plate before her and grab a fork, spoon, and a butter knife to eat the omelet, and set them on the table before her and return for her juice. I then open up the fridge and see that I just have orange juice and pull it out, then close the fridge door and grab a glass from the cabinet. I then take the glass over to her and begin to fill her glass up saying, "Let me know when that is enough Dee."

She nods her head and says, "Thank you, that will be fine Roger."

I stop and return the cap to the jug saying, "No problem, if ya would like somethin' all ya hafta do is ask." and puts it back in the fridge, then return to making my own omelet and dice up a couple of pieces of ham. I then pour some beaten eggs into the pan and then add the ham and the rest of the vegetables, then finish up the omelet and set it onto my plate and make my way to the table after turning the stovetop off and grabbing some utensils for myself.

Derpy then tries a piece of her omelet and finds it delicious saying, "Wow, I have never had an omelet that tasted this good before, you have some skill with cooking."

I set my plate down across from her, and walk over to the cabinets for a regular glass. With the glass in my hand, I close the cabinet door and head to the fridge for the bottle of Jack Daniels. I then pull the bottle of Jack out of the fridge after opening the door and use my foot to push the door shut, and return to my place at the table to eat my own dinner.

When I get back to my spot, I sit down and fill the glass about a third full, and set the bottle aside. As I pick up my utensils, I glance up to look at Derpy as she seems to really enjoy the omelet but is still a bit nervous for some reason. I return my eyes down to my plate and take the first bite of my food, chewing it for a bit before swallowing and take a small drink from the glass and ask, "So Dee, if you don't mind me asking. Is delivering mail your job Dee?"

She swallows the food in her mouth and looks up at Roger for a moment and smiles asking, "Yes it is, why do you ask?"

I then smile back and say, "No real reason, I was just curious to get to know you a bit. Do ya enjoy it?"

Derpy reaches for her glass and takes a drink of her orange juice, then returns it to the table and looks back to Roger and answers him, "I do enjoy it, mainly because I get to fly around and see Equestria. Although I would like the chance to take a break to take care of a foal, I don't know of any stallion that would help grant my desire." She then uses her fork to stab the thin piece of meat and takes a small nibble out of the ham, she is surprised to find out that her body isn't rejecting the meat after she swallows it. She takes a slightly larger nibble out of the ham, then chews and swallows it. She continues eating her omelet, taking a drink after every few bites.

We spend about a half-hour at the table, making small talk and get to know each other while we eat. Once both of our plates are clean, I then rise up from the table and fill the sink with water. As the water fills the sink about three-quarters full, I add in the soap to control how many suds are created and say, "Ah'm gonna take care of these dishes, can ya make yerself comfy on the couch and ah'll join ya when ah'm done?"

She smiles and nods her head saying, "Yes I can, would you like any help with the dishes?"

I then purse my lips together and think for a moment before letting out a chuckle saying, "No thanks, ah can handle this. Ah won't be long, so just relax for a bit while ah clean up. Once ah'm done here, ah'll join ya on the couch so we can watch a movie and talk afterward, alright?"

Derpy then goes to get out of the chair and instead falls out of it, crashing with her neck and the front of her chest on the floor and her rump sticking up into the air. She giggles at herself with a gentle blush saying, "Don't worry, I'm alright. This happens to me a lot, I'm a little clumsy and it makes me accident-prone. That sounds just fine to me." She then recovers and makes her way to the living room with a smile on her face.

After I fill the other empty sink with hot water to rinse the dishes off, I start scrubbing each and every dish we used to ensure no food is left stuck to the dish. While humming a tune to myself, I ensure that each fork, glass, knife, pan, plate, and wooden spoon that were used are thoroughly cleaned before being rinsed off and set into the rack to dry.

She lays on the couch for what feels like a half-hour when she hears the sound of water running and a sucking sound and the sound of a deep rumble, lasting several seconds before they both stop. She turns her head to see Roger make his way towards the couch, sitting next to her and asks him, "What movie are we going to watch?"

I smile at her and say, "What kind catch yer interest, there's Sci-fi or known as Science Fiction, Fantasy Sci-fi, adventure, western, there are some anime that look like cartoon characters, there's drama, romance, mystery and a whole bunch of others that have been created by humans where ah come from. Some movies are inspired by real-life events, some actually help tell someone's story."

Derpy thinks about it for a moment and says, "I think that I would have to go with either anime or something along the lines of a sciencey adventure-fantasy, do you have anything like that?"

I grin and say, "Ah think ah may have something like that, it's called Avatar and it's a work of total fiction meant to entertain people mostly. It's a tad bit long but it is good, would ya want to watch it?"

She thinks about it for a few moments and smiles saying, "Yes, I am curious how much different your world's movies are from ours."

I then smile and get up off the couch to go to the room where I keep my DVDs on shelves, then open the door and turn on the light to begin the search for the video. I eventually find it on the third shelf up from the bottom right beside John Carter and turn the light off before exiting the room and say, "Alright, ready fer a new completely new movie experience little lady?" I then make my way to the 75" TV and turn it on along with the Blu-ray player, remove the disc from the case carefully and insert it into the tray. I then grab the remote for the player and head to the couch, then set the player remote down and grab the TV remote. As I switch to a different feed, I see the blue screen saying it's illegal to make your own unauthorized copies of this film and roll my eyes at it saying, "They put this image into every movie because there is a copyright law against making and selling your own copies of it without their permission, it's annoying but it does serve a purpose and warn people against doing it."

Derpy thinks for a moment and shrugs her shoulders saying, "Well that certainly makes some sense, they wouldn't be able to make a profit otherwise."

I then nod and say, "Okay then, just let me know if the volume needs to be adjusted higher or lower." and then press ok after seeing the word PLAY change color.

She nods her head and watches the TV saying, "Well that is certainly different, we don't get to make a choice but to watch the commercials advertising future movies coming out. I will be sure to let you know." and watches as the screen changes to black as the movie begins.

As the movie plays on, I smile at how much Derpy is into the tale being told. I hold her close to me as her eyes tear up over the people losing their home and the daughter losing her father. I sit and watch the movie with her as it continues on as they fight back against the other humans after losing a dear friend, losing yet one more friend as the battle nears its conclusion.

Derpy leans forward on the couch as she watches the female save her mate's life as he fights to survive with limited oxygen. She bounces happily as the evil general falls in defeat, watching eagerly as the people work together to save the life of one who came to love their way of life. She sees the male open his eyes at the end of the movie and shouts, "WOOHOO, HE IS ONE WITH HIS OTHER BODY!"

---

I chuckle at how she enjoyed the movie and pause it a little ways into the credits and ask her, "Do ya want to listen to the music at the ending credits?"

She giggles and settles down from her excitement and shakes her head saying, "It is a nice-sounding song, but it isn't really my style. I really enjoyed the movie, thank you for dinner and watching a movie with me." She then releases a happy sigh and looks away with a nervous blush and asks, "S-So...what did you want to speak to me about?"

I then look to her and place a finger on the underside of her chin and gently guide her face towards me and ask, "Ah would like to talk to ya bout the specifics of a mare's body during the estrus season. Can a mare get pregnant any time during the season, or is there a certain time that works best?"

Derpy then looks at him and sees how tall and well built he is, then shifts her eyes a little and blushes deeper answering, "Uhm...yes, there is a time that it is easiest for a mare to get pregnant, that's usually during the third and fourth weeks of the season."

I continue to lightly hold her chin with my fingertip and ask my next question asking, "How far into yer cycle are ya now Dee?"

Her body squirms in arousal under his gaze and answers, "I'm uh...uh...currently...at the end......of my first week, so I won't be extremely fertile for another week and a half yet."

I then smile at her and ask her sincerely, "Dee, would ya consider letting me help ya make yer wish come true at long last?

Derpy is shocked to the core to hear him ask her that, turning her eyes to meet his in an instant with the other eye looking off to the other side of the room. She looks at him as her eyes slowly widen with wonder and slowly start to fill with tears of happiness. As she blinks the tears away to clear her vision, she quickly turns her upper body towards him and rushes in for a hug, happily saying, "Yes, of course I will let you make my long-standing wish for motherhood come true! Oh thank you so much for being so kind and offering to be my stud this season!"

I then hug her back happily as she wraps her forehooves and wings around my back and nuzzle against her neck saying, "The only thing ah ask fer in return is to always be part of the foals life, if ya need any help raising the foal, ya only need to ask."

She then sheds a few tears, feeling happy about finally finding someone to help her get a foal saying, "Oh I am so glad that you are willing to help me get a foal, I have no problem with what you ask in return. I shall need to head home now because I have to wake early to deliver mail, I enjoyed tonight. I shall treasure it always Roger, goodnight." She then pulls back and kisses him lightly on the cheek before making her way towards the door.

After I let her out to go home, I return to the TV and turn it off. I open the player tray and return the disk to its case, and then return it to the shelf from where I got it. I then finally head up the stairs to my room, close the door behind me and start to strip out of my clothes saying, "Ahh...finally time fer bed."

The closet door slides open slowly and soundlessly as a creature peers out of the small, dark space. It blinks while watching the human strip out of his clothing, waiting for the opportune moment to strike and take it by surprise.

I strip down to my boxer briefs and move beside the bed when I hear a quiet rush of air, and feel something slam into my back with enough force to topple me forward and onto the bed saying, "Who or what in the fuckin' hell did that, if ah find out who did that...yer in fer a whoopin' with mah granny's spankin' paddle!"

The assailant quietly chuckles and starts to lick up the human's neck, then lays small kisses around it. She continues doing that while using its own limbs to restrain his and purrs seductively into his ear, then leans forth to nibble on his ear lobe and whispers to his ear, "Did you forget about our deal tonight, because I vwant to suck...your blood."

I forget about my anger and chuckle aloud saying, "Oh it's ya Flutterbat, ah was wonderin' when ya'd show up. Ya really surprised me there, can ya let me go so ah can git comfortable and let ya feed from me?"

Flutterbat smiles sweetly and nods, then moves to the other side of the bed and waits for Roger to get comfortable. She then narrows her eyes mischievously and grins saying, "Yes I did, you never heard me until I pounced on you. Don't take too long or I vwon't be able to fully enjoy this meal..."

I stand back up and look at her for a moment, raising one eyebrow curiously and just get into bed. I slide my feet and lower legs under the covers, then begin to pull them over me when I notice Flutterbat sitting down on them with a fanged grin and say, "Okay, what are ya plottin' Flutterbat?"

She then smiles and makes her way towards him, then sits down on his lap shaking her head saying, "Oh nothing at all my treat."

I prop my torso up with an elbow as I look into Flutterbat's light red eyes, licking her lips, and starts to lean forward. I feel her kiss my neck and say, "Are ya goin' to drink from mah neck tonight?"

Flutterbat scoffs at hearing that and says, "Of course not, you vwould die if I did. I would hate to lose my newfound favorite snack by doing such a silly thing as that." She then kisses and trails her tongue down his neck to his shoulder, then stops and opens her mouth wide and sinks her fangs into the meaty part where his shoulder meets his neck. She then closes her eyes and begins to suck his blood from his body, only making a slight sucking sound as she drinks.

I ignore the pain between my neck and shoulder, then sit upright and move my right arm around her back to keep her in place. I then move my other hand to the top of her head and lightly run my fingers along the top of her head.

She closes her eyes and humms softly, loving the tender treatment. She forces herself to stop for a moment and pulls off his shoulder saying, "That is nice, keep at it." then returns her fangs to her spot and resumes drinking her fill.

I continue to sit there while she drinks my blood and move my left hand from her head to her right ear, grabbing gently between my fingertips and gently begin to barely pinch it at the base of her head then run my hand to the tip of her ear.

Flutterbat absolutely loves the gentle caressing her ear is getting and finishes her meal, licking the holes to close them up saying, "Ohh...that is just so...murr..." she then tilts her head and drops her ear down for him to caress it more.

I chuckle at how cute she is being and say, "Why don't ya lay down in front of me and we'll cuddle as ah continue to caress you?"

She wearily nods her head at hearing that and makes her way over to the side as he moves to the spot closest to the door and turns his back on it, then pushes the covers back with her muzzle and carefully lies down.

I lay my torso down while I wait for her to get situated up against me and pull the covers over the both of us, leaning over her and kiss her cheek whispering, "Goodnight mah little bat." before lying back down and wrapping my right arm around her barrel and sliding my left underneath her head.

Flutterbat giggles lightly at that and flicks her right ear against him to remind him what to do, feeling him start to caress her ear like before and sighs happily saying, "Ohh murr...goodnight, my little snack." and closes her eyes, letting herself fall asleep and revert back to being Fluttershy.
