I yawned, as my vision was filled with soft, poofy, and pink hair. Pinkie was cuddling on top of me with her arms gently wrapped around my chest and with gummy in her grasp. She grunted cutely as she gently nuzzled my face and even gently rubbed her soft bare feet on my own.

“Rocky Road, young man! What have I told you about trying to get your birthday presents early!” I heard her mumble, “Every year I throw you the best birthday in the world and opening your gifts is the best part, the least you can do is not ruin that by opening them early! Wait, until your father gets home you little party pooper!”

Of course Pinkie would dream about us having a son and she would treat his birthday as serious business. It was only minutes later, she made an adorable yawn and gently rubbed her eyes.

“Good morning, Marky!” She greeted me with a grin on her face, “I had a wonderful dream last night!” She exclaimed, as she continued to rub my feet with hers.

“I could tell,” I simply responded.

“I suppose we better get ready now,” She said somewhat bitterly and in complete annoyance.

“No, we should have time to relax a little bit.”

“But getting ready separately will… Oh!? Yay! Getting ready together will make this morning even better,” She responded in her normal cheerful tone, “Can you do my hair like Dashie?” She asked with adorable puppy dog eyes.

“Anything for my adorable party balloon,” I simply responded with.

“Yippie! Now this is really the best morning ever!”

“Attention students we are sorry to say only a generous few have donated and to help give you an incentive to help fund this hopefully upcoming fieldtrip, between every class we will play annoying carnival music.”

Suddenly without warning the most annoying carnival music started playing for a few brief moments. Pinkie did a brief joyful dance, only to suddenly stop in stunned annoyance when it was over.

“That was just a little sample. Hopefully this will help motivate you to donate.”

“Hey! I was enjoying that!” She complained with an adorable pout.

This caused the rest of the students in the hallway to give her strange looks, before they shrugged it off when they seem to recall it’s Pinkie.

“It’s ok my adorable party balloon,” I began, as I gave her a light embrace and gently nuzzled her face, “You are going to hear that through out the day,” I gave her a kiss on the forehead.

“I better or Celestia is going to regret it!”

Sure enough the song continued to play much to the annoyance of ninety nine point ninety nine percent of the students. It played throughout the break between class, and I noticed Pinkie a few times breaking out in a joyful dance.

Finally after school, Pinkie decided to have us spend some time with the girls at Sugarcube Corner, since they wanted to discuss recent events.

“They have hit a new low,” Rainbow complained bitterly, “It’s bad enough they are making us pay for a “gift for all of us”, but now annoying us into doing it.”

“The song is awesome, Dashie, to sing and dance to!” Pinkie exclaimed with a beaming smile, “I wonder if Celestia wouldn’t mind giving me a copy.”

The other girls only looked at her strangely while I chuckled and gently stroked her hair.

“I would love to see the look on her face when you do so, my precious party balloon.”

Pinkie beamed in happiness and even gently nuzzled my face.

“Glad to see you are at least happy for me, my super duper Marky Wikey!”

“You are keeping that as a pet name I see,” Rarity responded bitterly, as she placed a hand on the table.

“Yep and it’s better than yours!” Pinkie struck her tongue out and blew a raspberry, before she gave me a quick kiss on the lips.

“I… See…” Rarity grunted as she applied so much pressure onto the table that we could actually feel it.

“Anyway,” Sunset began, playing peacekeeper and trying to keep us on topic, “Since most of us think the music is annoying, we should come up with an ideal way to help raise enough for the goal.”

“So, just admit defeat and let them win,” Rainbow argued bitterly.

“You want this to stop?” Sunset simply asked, stunning Rainbow into silence, “At least this way it won’t be our regular source of cash and we can kiss that music goodbye.”

Rainbow grumbled, but ultimately nodded in agreement. The others quickly voiced their agreement, happy to kiss that annoying music goodbye.

“I better ask for a copy soon so I can play it at my future parties!” Pinkie interrupted with an excited smile on her face, “I can’t wait!”

This caused the rest of the girls to groan in complete annoyance, as they gave Pinkie glares, which she ignored while she continued her excited smile.

“So, what are we going to do to raise enough money for this, so we can say goodbye to the music…” Rainbow began, before groaning in defeat, “For right now.”

“We need something simple yet well paying enough to help us make plenty of cash fast,” Sunset responded, with her hand on her chin in thought.

“It’s almost Summer, so we should keep that in mind,” Twilight added, also in thought.

“Yeah, I don’t want to overwork myself in this kind of heat,” Rainbow added.

“You need to learn a little thing called work ethic,” Applejack teased with a smile.

“Oh, shut up! Excuse me for not wanting to damage my health!”

“So, something simple, yet a great money maker that we can do with Summer coming to make money for a field trip to a camp…” Twilight summarized, before she started mumbling, “Summer… busy…. trips…. cars… anyone… clean…”

“Any ideas egghead?” Rainbow asked with a mocking smile.

“First of all, don’t call me an egghead and second, yes I think I have an idea and it will take time to set up.”

Why do I get the feeling things are about to get a little hot and steamy for me?

“So, why am I here instead of the other girls?” I asked Twilight.

“We need your artistic skills to help make ideal advertising and besides we don’t want to leave you out of this completely. You have to work a little before we give you some enjoyment.”

“Considering you aren’t in my harem, that makes that bonus worth it.”

Twilight could only blush hotly in response to that, while Spike began laughing hysterically. It’s finally the weekend and seeing the opportunity to actually start our plan, Twilight led me to her house, while Rarity works with the others. Thankfully, her parents were currently at work and her older brother was currently at college. I didn’t want to deal with that right now.

“The first boy you brought home and he’s funny, Twilight. I like him!” Spike spoke up with a grin.

“Quiet you!”

“Fine, I have birds to chase around anyway,” Spike responded back, before walking out of the room.

“I swear ever since he could talk he has been more of a pain. I can’t tell you how many close calls I had with him speaking up in front of my parents and Shiny.”

“I can only imagine.”

“Now, shall we get started.”

“Of course! It’s always fun to work with an adorable girl,” I responded, causing her to blush hotly once again.

“You think I am adorable?” She questioned looking like the epitome of an adorable girl.

“No, I know you are,” I simply responded with a smile.

“Oh… Thank you…” She beamed with a smile, before she shook her head, “Now I will come up with a catchy slogan and you can do the design.”

I simply nodded, before I took a seat near her on her bed. After an hour of bouncing ideas off of each other and making decent progress, she gently took off her flip-flops and wiggled her toes.

“I think we are getting somewhere,” She began while gently rubbing her soft sizeable feet on top of each other, “You can take off your shoes and relax a little.”

“Relax? Who are you and what have you done with Twilight?” I teased a little, as I quickly took off my shoes and gently placed them on the floor.

“I am not that bad!” She pouted cutely, before giving me a playful punch on the shoulder, “Ok maybe I was too strict on school work and learning new things, but having friends has helped me relax a little.”

“Glad to hear it.”

“It was all thanks to you, you know?”

“Huh?”

“You were the main reason I decided to join CHS in the first place,” She finally admitted, after a few moments of awkward silence, “I had no friends and everyone just seemed to make fun of me. The only friend I had was Spike and it was before he could even speak,” She held her head and sighed in frustration, “Yet, I didn’t care since being the top student academically and my research was all I needed. Of course that led to my study of the supernatural at CHS and the events of the games!”

A few drops of tears formed in her eyes and I gently placed a comforting hand onto her shoulder, only for her to lightly embrace me into a hug. Being more comfortable receiving affection and since this was serious to her, I gave her a few comforting pats on her back.

“I know you have forgiven me for it, despite everything, I still want to say I am truly sorry my actions almost led to your…” She paused to sob for a few moments, before managing to continue, “Seeing someone who I almost killed just forgive me and give me another chance made me realize how much I have been missing out on. I then decided to give CHS a chance and I don’t regret it! You and the girls have been wonderful.”

“Twilight…”

“That’s not all,” Twilight interrupted me, as she took off her glasses and gently rubbed her wet eyes, “I am sure you know, but I have a crush on you like the others.”

“You and Fluttershy made it obvious.”

“Yes,” She began nervously, blushing hotly, “Well, I couldn’t help it! So smart, nice and completely understanding. If you weren’t so forgiven I don’t know where I would have ended up.”

“Hey don’t focus on that, my sparkling star. Focus on the here and now. You have friends now and a much better life. Enjoy it.”

“Sparkling star?”

“Yeah, don’t you like it?”

“No, I do! I was just surprised is all,” She denied, blushing lightly with a smile, “You’re right I should enjoy this lucky break I managed to get,” She then suddenly frown a little, “Even though I don’t really deserve it.”

No! This can not stand!

“Never say that, my sparling star! Ever again!” I began, as I gently rubbed her hair, “You do deserve this! What you didn’t deserve was a sad and lonely life at Crystal Prep.”

“You mean it?”

“Yes, you are a beautiful intelligent girl and anyone would be lucky to be your friend,” He answered with a smile, “In fact many would be lucky to have you as a girlfriend,” I added with a wink, making her blush again.

“You think so?”

“I know so,” I simply answered, making her give me an adorable smile, “You know since you worked up the courage to directly confess, you can join the others if you want.”

This caused her to blush hotly, yet beam in happiness, as she nervously nodded in agreement. I chuckled before gently pressing my lips against hers into a gentle kiss.

“Feeling better?” I asked once we separated.

“Uh huh,” She answered in complete bliss, “Can we take a break for a day on our money making plan. I want to catch up with the others and learn what it’s like to be in this kind of relationship.”

“Anything for my sparkling star,” I gave her a quick and gentle kiss on the forehead.

Fun fact the annoying carnival music was loosely based on something my high school did during freshman year. They would play onto the daily goal was met and it was usually met before second hour.

Anyway, human Twily is added to the harem. Hope you enjoyed.
