After helping Applebloom clean up, Fluttershy tells her she will be right back, needing to get a quick snack then makes her way out of the room to go see Roger. Hearing the little filly sniffle, she looks over her shoulder at her and sees her curled up into a ball, saying, "I promise I will return shortly Applebloom, I must have a quick bite to tie me over until the morning. When I return, I will cuddle with you and keep you safe during the night."

Applebloom looks at Fluttershy and smiles softly, still sniffling as she says, "O-Okay...hurry back." and lays her head back down with her tail over her head.

I am sleeping soundly in my bed when I feel someone licking and lightly nipping or kissing my neck, turning my head to meet a pair of lips belonging to a familiar butter-yellow mare I know as being Fluttershy or Flutterbat. Wanting to figure out which one it is, I run my hand up her front right foreleg, then up along her neck to her right ear to feel it slightly pointy and tufted. Learning that it is Flutterbat, I kiss her deeply and passionately for a moment before pulling away and saying sleepily, "Uhhhh......what t-time is it Flutters?"

Flutterbat then hushes him with a wing to his lips and whispers when she spots Applejack toss slightly, "It is early morning, my beloved snack. I just need a little bit to get me through the rest of the night."

I then nod and guide her lips to the meat part of my neck, then run my hand along her side to her rear entrance and lightly play with her as her teeth pierce my skin.

She feels him tease her and uses her tail to swat his arm lightly in warning as she starts to purr deep in her throat, he doesn't get her message and keeps toying with her while rolling her eyes. As she drinks his blood, she feels him slip a finger into her and bites down harder, succeeding in getting him to stop for the moment.

I feel her suck my blood out through where her fangs pierce my skin and use my free right hand to pet and rub her neck whispering, "Drink away, my little bat."

When she feels there is enough to get her through to the morning, she pulls away and licks the two holes to help close them. With his blood still staining her fangs, she moves in and turns her head to kiss him deeply.

I run my tongue over her sharp fangs carefully, feeling their shape while removing the remaining blood on them. Once I get her fangs clean, I let my tongue tangle with hers as she starts to softly moan into my mouth.

Flutterbat feels herself getting excited and softly whines as she forces herself to pull away saying softly and seductively, "As much as I vwant to continue, vwe must stop here..." She then removes the seduction from her voice and whispers into his ear, "There vwas an incident involving your dog and a little filly last night, but the shy one has already dealt vwith it. So there is no need for you to punish him any further, nopony scolds better vwhen they're angry like Fluttershy."

I watch as Fluttershy takes over as the ear I'm rubbing returns to that of a normal pony's as I think, 'Wow, that was interesting feeling her transform like that, ah may have to try a few things out to find out what else ah can feel as she changes back and forth.'

Fluttershy smiles and tilts her head into his massage and says quietly, "I moved his dishes beside some tall grass, so please leave them there until I can finish dealing with his problem."

I pull her in for a tender kiss and then say softly to her ear, "Alright ah can do that, could ya tell me what exactly happened?"

She then sighs quietly and says, "It would be best to wait until another time, when we are alone as I am sure tempers will flare at hearing the story. So do try to avoid asking Applebloom about it when you see her in the morning, goodnight Roger." With a promise to keep, she uses her wings to fly from the bed to the floor and looks back saying gently, "She and I are sleeping in the guest bedroom tonight if you don't mind, that is."

I shake my head and say, "Not at all, goodnight, Flutters. Ah'll have Applejack start making a large breakfast fer four then when we get up." then return to sleep thinking, 'Damn that dog...'

Fluttershy returns to the downstairs guest bedroom, hearing Applebloom sobbing gently and climbs up behind her saying, "I'm back, just like I promised." and drapes one wing over the trembling filly while pulling her up against her underside, curling her body around the little filly protectively.

Applebloom slowly stops trembling as she starts to feel safe saying, "Th-Thank you for this Fluttershy." and snuggles further into her soft underbody and falls into a more peaceful slumber.

After Applejack and I take a shower together, I ask, "Think ya could bring my pants and underwear here?"

She chuckles and remembers their special night, nodding her head and trotting towards the door looking back over her shoulder saying, "Ah sure can, though ya look mighty find without 'em on." then heads downstairs with her mane and tail loose.

I watch her return with my pants and underwear, then strip them of anything I don't want to wash and transfer them to my clean pair. I then crouch down and pull her in for a passionate kiss for a few seconds, then pull away saying, "Ah hope that ya get yer wish for a foal this season, AJ."

Applejack bites her lower lips as she lets her mane and tail hang free, saying, "So do ah pardner." and then blushes lightly adding, "Think ya can keep what ah said last night to yerself? Ah'm mighty embarrassed about what ah said."

I then pull her into another kiss and rest my forehead against hers saying, "Ah will, don't worry yer pretty little head about it." and then whispers into her ear, "So what if ya have daddy issues, ah'm sure other mares out there have the same issue ya do. Besides...ah found it rather attractive to hear ya call me daddy."

She then blushes crimson from embarrassment and quietly says, "Oh...uhm...uhh...thank you." then heads out of the room to start on breakfast.

After following her down the stairs I head for the door to start on my chores, looking back at her for a moment saying, "Oh, we have a couple of guests that arrived in the night, think ya can make breakfast fer the four of us while ah head out to do chores?"

She nods and says, "Eyup ah can pardner, who's here?"

I look at her, seeing how good she looks with her mane free and say, "Fluttershy and Applebloom." then walk up to her and whisper to her ear, "Don't let yer temper get out of control because it is being handled already, but something happened last night between Ol' Red and Applebloom. HOWEVER, Fluttershy must have found her and brought her inside because Flutterbat told me that Shy got angry and scolded him about it. It would be best to just be patient and let Applebloom share her story when she is ready. Trust me, ah was rightfully pissed at first when ah heard something happened, ah was tempted to grab a switch and hit him, but ah chose to believe what Flutterbat told me. She said that nopony scolds better when angry like Fluttershy."

Applejack starts seeing red after hearing that, but takes a few deep breaths to calm herself down as she then looks at Roger with wide eyes saying, "When Fluttershy gets angry, ya know she is seriously mad about something. If she was mad enough to scold that damned dog, she likely was using her legendary glare as well. It would be best to just let her handle the punishment, cause nocreature's the same when they receive 'The Glare'." She then sighs out another breath saying, "Alright pardner, ah'll be patient and let them come to me. Thanks fer giving me a heads up by the way."

I nod and then say, "No problem, forewarned is forearmed."

She cocks her head and asks, "What does that mean?"

I chuckle and answer, "It just means that if you know about something before it happens, you can be prepared for it."

Applejack looks at the floor in thought for a moment, then lifts her head with a smile saying, "Ah like that saying..." then turns back to start getting things prepared saying, "Ya better get on yer chores, it'll take me a little while to prep food fer four."

I then head out the door, walking a little funny due to my balls still aching after being with seven mares in one day and get started on feeding my cows first.

A few hours later I hear the sound of creaking wooden wheels as I check the fuel and oil levels in the 1586 and turn to look down my driveway, seeing two fully loaded wagons pulled by a team of four ponies per wagon approaching the turn to my farm. I smile at the sight of the seed arriving and make my way to the side of the shop where I have pallets stacked up beside it, as I start to search for ones in decent shape. Pulling good pallets off the stacks, I count eleven of them and head inside the shed to bring the 1989 Case 585E forklift out. I open up the large roll-up door to the shop and head to the back corner of the shop where I have it parked, then get up on the step and connect the battery cables before attempting to start it. To my surprise, it fires right up without me having to fiddle around with some wires, leaving me with just the tasks of starting it up, taking the parking brake off, putting it into gear, and driving it out of the shop. I park it on the cement in front of the roll-up door and set the brake before putting it in neutral, then shut it off and go to the machine shed for the magnum to hook it up to the Case IH 5400 30' drill I parked in the corner.

As the two teams pull up the driveway, hearing a noise in the distance coming from inside of a wide, and really long structure, they stop in front of the house on the right to see what is making the noise. Seeing a large machine pulling something strange behind it on wide wheels, the watch as it moves ahead and then stops. Moments later they hear a beeping noise coming from the tractor as it starts moving backward, guiding the strange machine behind it onto a road between a smaller building and a large pen.

I put the magnum in park, then shut it off and exit the cab to go talk to the gawking mares asking, "Welcome to Sheridan Acres, ah'm Roger Sheridan. It's wonderful that ya could get the oat seed out here this quickly, did ya have a nice trip out here?"

The mare in front on the left of the lead wagon chews on a piece of straw and grins saying, "My name's Bay Seed, it's nice to meet ya. Yeap we did, though it was a bit of work lugging these heavy wagons over a couple of them hills. Say, what're those two contraptions ya got there, we've never seen nuttin' like 'em before!?"

I look back at the tractor and the drill saying, "Oh those are farming implements ah use to make field work easier, the one in front is called a tractor and the one behind it is a seed drill. The tractor is a really handy piece of equipment because you can use it to do different things, the drill behind it is capable of planting several rows varying widths apart. Ah have it set to plant rows 7.5 inches apart, it is 30 feet wide and plants 48 rows at a time."

Bay Seed looks at the seed drill curiously, then turns back to him, switching to business mode saying, "We have 200 60-pound bags of cleaned spring oat seed ya asked for, Mister Sheridan. Where would ya like us to stack it?"

I then use my head to gesture to the pallets saying, "Ah'd like it if ya could stack it on those pallets for me with 18 or 19 sacks per pallet so ah can set them inside mah machine shed to keep em out of the weather so ah can use em when ah'm ready."

She nods her head saying, "We can do that fer ya no problem, Mister Sheridan." and then turns to the others and says in a tone they all can hear, "Alright, it's time to unload our wagons and stack these sacks onto the wooden pallets, no more than 18 or 19 sacks per pallet ladies."

I head back to the forklift and start it up, then put it into gear before taking off the parking brake. I maneuver the forklift in front of the pallets and slide my forks under the bottom one, then lift it and tilt it back to keep it steady before heading over to set them near the wagons for the mares to set them out. I return the forklift to its spot on the cement and set the brake before shifting it to neutral and shutting it off. I head over to the pallets and pull one off the stack and set it near the wagon's side, then move on to the next one.

A half-hour later, I move the last pallet of sacks into the spot where the seed drill was parked, then drive the forklift over to its place in the shop and head back out. I see a few of them inside the back of the wagons and one pony hooked up to each of the wagons and stop by Bay Seed saying, "Alright, let's head into the house and take care of the payment, shall we?"

Bay Seed nods her head with a smile, saying, "Sure thing." then turns to the mares hooked up to the wagons and says, "Go on and pull those wagons under the oak tree fer a bit as I handle business."

As the wagons head under the tree, the mares in the back whistle suggestively as one of the mares in the front wagon shouts, "Yeah Bay, handle business real good and come back to tell us how talented that stallion is!"

She blushes at what her sister says and retorts, "I'm here to make a sale, not to get bred, Buck!"

I then chuckle and remark, "Although she may not be here to be intimate, ah wouldn't be able to help out anyway as ah need to rest a bit after helping 7 mares in a single day. Sorry, ladies!"

Buck bursts out laughing as her sister turns crimson at hearing that and says, "Ya hear that sis? He's blessed! All mares love a gifted stallion that has the stamina to go the extra mile!"

She snaps her head around and shouts in embarrassment, "Yer absolutely incorrigible Buck Wheat!" then trots hastily towards the house.

I let her in as she apologizes for her sister's behavior, then chuckle in reply saying, "It's alright, it is just that time of year is all, but ah do find it refreshing to hear sibling banter."

As we head to the living room, I sit down in my recliner and smell Applejack cooking away and ask, "Take a seat and make yerself comfortable, how much do ah owe ya fer the seed, Bay?"

Bay sits on the couch by the wall and then digs around in her saddlebags for the receipt, pulling the paper out and looking it over saying, "With food being in high demand, it drives the price of seed up. The current price of seed is around 90 bits per bag and with the delivery fee and labor being two hundred bits, what ya owe me is 18,200 bits."

I nod my head and then say, "Alright then, ah'll go grab some bits to pay ya." and then get up to go to the basement to gather the bits."

She then looks at him with a surprised look on her face as she asks, "Yer not gonna complain about the price of the seed ah brought ya?"

I chuckle and shake my head saying, "There are some things that ya just don't do when ya really need seed, it's only natural for the cost of seed to go sky high when there is a food shortage. It's rather sad when others ferget their manners and try to save money any way they can, that is one thing ah'll never do."

Bay smiles at him and says, "Yeah, how unfortunate it is when ponies forget those."

I head to the basement and open up one of the chests, then dig through the sacks inside for 18 silver bits and two bronze bits. I close the chest and return upstairs, then stand near the couch and hold the bits out in my hand for her to take saying, "Here ya go Bay Seed, when will ya be able to get some spring wheat seed and some alfalfa seed in?"

She takes them and puts the bits into the left side of her saddlebags saying, "Well, we will have to get alfalfa seed from Farasi as no pony has ever attempted to grow it here yet. We will only be able to get that and the wheat seed by the middle of April, so how much will ya need?"

I think it over for a bit and then say, "Well, ah don't exactly know yet."

Bay nods her head and gets up off the couch saying, "Alright then, thank ya fer doing business with us. We look forward to yer business in the future, please let us know whenever ya are needing more seed." She then pulls out a paper and hands it to Roger saying, "Here's yer receipt for taxes."

I take the paper and lay it on a shelf where I moved my other paperwork to eventually sort through, then walk her to the front door and open it for her to let her out saying, "Thank ya fer delivering the seed and helping to unload all those heavy sacks, Bay. Ah might get more fields yet, and they will be even bigger than the two ah just got."

She then heads outside and cocks her head asking, "How many acres are ya intending to get?"

I grin and chuckle, following her out and closing the door behind me saying, "Oh not much, about a couple more fields about two hundred acres each."

Bay's jaw drops as her eyes go wide, then snaps it shut and says, "TWO HUNDRED ACRES...EACH?!"

I nod and grin saying, "Hey, ah have a world of hungry ponies to feed."

She blinks in disbelief, asking with a still shocked expression, "How are ya going to have time to tend all those acres!?!"

I then smirk saying, "Ah have more farm equipment ah could use that is bigger and better-suited to handle larger jobs, and it is much more modern than what is available in Equestria. That means if something breaks that magic can't fix, ah'm gonna have to get more involved in Equestria's affairs and give them a kick-start with some of their farming industry so that ah can have something to fall back to."

Bay grins as she snaps out of her shocked and surprised state saying, "Heh, if ya can accomplish that, yer bound to become a rising celebrity."

I chuckle and bat the idea away dismissively and say, "Bahhh...ah'll pass on being famous or nobility. Ah'll be just fine with being a simple farmer so ah can save Equestria from this food shortage." and sigh sadly, saying, "Unfortunately, ah will have to hold off on my future plans and just harvest the grass fer now."

She then heads towards the wagons while thinking, 'Heh, there's a future super-celebrity in our midst...' then looks over her shoulder saying, "Good luck with that, just let us know whenever ya need seed!" With a grin, she then says, "Yer gonna need it..." and makes her way to her wagon to get into the back, saying under her breath, "Equestria has a natural way fer bringing attention to the truly talented."

Cocking my head in confusion at what she said as she hops into the wagon, I watch them head away from the house and wave farewell to them saying, "Ah most certainly will in the near future when my newest fields get plowed under and prepared!" As I see Bay Seed blush from something her sister said, I turn around and head back inside to have lunch.

Applejack brings the food to the table saying, "Jeez, pardner, ya just added two, hundred-acre fields to yer farm. Now yer thinking of adding two more, being much larger than the others at a whopping two-hundred acres apiece. Did ya forget that ya need to take time off to let yourself heal?!"

Applebloom smiles in amusement as she listens to the two mares talk to Roger about how he is putting his body through too much work, going back to eating her food before she gasps and exclaims, "APPLEJACK...CHORES AREN'T DONE!"

Her eyes go wide as she realizes what her sister just said and snaps her head to Roger saying, "This discussion ain't over mister, ya hear me?"

I nod my head, letting out a sigh saying, "Loud and clear AJ, loud and clear."

Applejack then turns to her sister and goes to tell her to hurry up eating, but sees her already done and racing for the door saying, "Well at least let me catch up!" and takes off after her sister.

Fluttershy smiles as she finally has Roger all to herself, then walks up to him and smells him saying, "After having our lunch, let's go change yer bandages. Applejack sure didn't take it easy on you last night, did she..."

I watch her place her hooves against my legs and walks up to my waist, then moves her head towards mine. I then move my head down to hers and kiss her passionately, feeling her fangs poke out of her upper jaw as her tongue tangles with mine.

She feels him run his hand down her back, causing her wings to shiver at the sensation. She then pulls her tongue back into her own and starts kissing along his cheek, slowly making her way down the back of his jaw and down his neck. When she reaches the bottom of his neck, she feels him start fingering her and opens her mouth saying, "And...hahmp!" as she sinks her fangs into his neck, using her forelegs to cling to him as she uses her wings to push him over. Quickly stopping their fall with her wings as she lays him on the floor and sucks his blood from his body, slowly grinding her body up against his as a signal to what she wants.

I then chuckle and say, "Didn't ah satisfy the both of ya together, a few days ago?"

Flutterbat then pulls off him as a few droplets of blood drip off her fangs and onto his bitten neck, shaking her head, saying, "That vwas mostly for her, so you vwill have to go again to give me a foal this season..."

After being treated by Fluttershy and eating a cold lunch, I make my way outside taking wide steps saying, "Oh these mares are gonna leave my boys as nothing but raisins by the time the season is over." then head towards the 1586 to start discing the field a second time before I cultivate it and start seeding it with oats.

I'm driving the tractor past my house when I see Fluttershy walking out with a happy smile on her face and pull to a stop, then set the brake before shifting it to neutral and heading over to her and asking, "Hey Fluttershy, would ya mind going to Twilight's and asking her if she could ask fer any ponies in town if they would come out to my farm to pick up rocks in tall grass fer 50 bits per pony?"
