In the early hours of the morning the train went from Ponyville to Canterlot. In one of the wagons Tyler, Applejack, Twilight and Rarity sat together and conversed a bit, while Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash had a talk of their own.
“Last time I saw her, Lyra was very happy to get an invitation to the gala as well.”

Twilight nodded with a smile.
“Since she and Sam are together, Princess Celestia obviously thought it would be wrong to keep her at home while he is on the gala night.”

“Just wait until you see what I’ve created for those three.” Rarity added. “Sam and Flynn were easy to please, since I already knew about Tyler and human male tuxedos and suits… Rachel, however, was a bit more of work.”

This caused Tyler to grimace with a chuckle. “She… She didn’t gave you a hard time, did she?”

“Of course not, Darling! We were quite chatty together. Some decent stitches here, the choice of fabric there… She was very cooperative when I advised her with her wish for a gala dress. A decent red dress, nothing too naughty, nothing to ordinary. Sometimes it only needs a conversation with another mare for a mare to thaw up. Human women seem to be of no difference.” Rarity then frowned for a bit, thoughtful. “But I wonder… Why do you humans always insist on paying for the dresses made by a friend?”

Tyler began to chuckle and this chuckle turned into a loud laugh, before he grabbed Rarity’s cheeks and kissed her nose.
“You, Rarity, have a heart of gold!” He then leaned back and caressed Applejack’s and Twilight’s manes. “On Earth, we don’t have magic and the resources are limited for so many humans; Thus, we pay for what we get from those resources. There are organizations which help the homeless, the needful, but normally you have to pay for something if you want it. So a generous pony like you would either be rich on Earth because everyone would want to pay you or you would be ruined before the first month is over.”

The white unicorn nodded.
“I see… It is rooted in your cultural behavior.” She then raised her chin. “Such an honorable behavior to repay the debt by all means.”

Tyler replied with a nod.
“It is our belief that we shouldn’t accumulate debt, especially not with a friend.”

The white unicorn then waved the thought away.
“I understand, Darling.Oh well… I think I can persuade them that they don’t need to pay at once.”

Fluttershy looked around.
“Why aren’t they with us? Oh... you know, I just wanted Princess Celestia to introduce me to the Canterlot park animals since my first attempt was... You know... utterly fruitless...”

Rainbow nodded.
“And I have to have a little chat with the Bureau of the Wonderbolts! To get myself the application papers. But Fluttershy is right, why aren’t they coming with us?”

Rarity now looked up to the Pegasus mares.
“Flynn, Sam, Lyra and Rachel will follow with the next train. They said they were busy building something... Who can say what these four are up to.” She then looked out of the window. “I’m so excited! Ooh! Princess Luna wishes to speak with me. She didn’t say about what.”

Half an hour later, the train held at Canterlot Station. Five of the Mane Six and their human friend strolled down the streets of the capital city while Rarity took care that their dresses were properly transported into their chambers in the castle. But just as they were in the castle and entered the throne room, the alarm began to rang. Tyler blinked and looked around.
“I didn’t do it! What’s going on here?”

One of the guards stormed into the throne room and reported to Celestia.
“Your Majesty!!! Governess Shadrane and a maiden were found in her chamber! Cocooned in Changeling wax!”

Celestia and Tyler looked at each other before they both only muttered one word.
“Luna!”

In the next moment, Tyler teleported himself in front of her room and kicked the door open.
“LUNA! WHERE- Oomph!”

Before he could end his sentence, a solid pillow slammed into his face and Luna rose up from her bed.
“WHO DARES TO DISTURB MINE SLUMBER???”

Two guards stormed in as well, only to get thrown out at once. Tyler was levitated out of her chamber and her magic grip let go in midair, so he landed on his butt before the doors behind him were slammed shut. Both guards, leaning upside down against the wall on the opposite end of the hall, looked at each other.
“He’s lucky she loves him…”

“We’re lucky she deems us good guards!”

One minute later Luna came out in a foul sleepy mood and nudged Tyler with her hoof to stand up.
“Come now, my Dark Companion! Thou hast disturbed mine slumber, so thou shalt explain to me why thou did so!”

Five minutes later Luna was instructed to the situation and they both arrived at the throne room, where they met the others.
“Found anything yet?”

“No…”

With a nod Tyler began to think.
“At least we now know that they weren’t after Luna…”

Now Rarity harrumphed behind them, levitating an unconscious guard in the air.
“Ladies and gentlecolts? I see we are all alright?”

As they gathered together they all nodded.
“Yes, we are!”

“Oh, good… Tell me: Did anypony happen to beat up a Changeling on the way here? No? Then we still have a problem…”
With this she let down the unconscious guard and Tyler nodded. “And one knocked out guard…”

Chuckling with rolling eyes, Rainbow shrugged.
“Ooohh… What a big problem! We’ve beaten up so many Changelings at the wedding! They’re only a threat if they come in swarms. One Changeling alone isn't a threat.”

Rarity grinned and leaned over to Rainbow.
“If you want to ignore the importance of appearance, that’s up to you. But that would mean to clearly underestimate the threat loose inside this castle!”

Rainbow snickered.
“What? You think he could find out your dirty little secrets?”

Rarity then arched a brow so ladylike how only she could do it and smirked.
“No… That would be YOUR problem!” With this she took out a little folder covered in Changeling wax, from which several pictures of Rainbow hovering besides a standup of Flynn, a life-size cut-out posing as buddies, fell out. But also some more intimate ones.

Rainbow’s jaw dropped.
“What the…? When…? How…?”

As she continued to stammer around, Rarity nodded.
“Indeed… And now he’s here to spy on CANTERLOT! So listen up, Dashie! Or pictures of you and your standup will be the second worst thing happening to you today!” Rainbow growled a bit at Rarity but collected the photos on the table.

With a wide grin Pinkie Pie showed one of the pictures to Fluttershy who smiled quite touched.
“Oh… this one’s lovely!”

With wide open eyes Rainbow turned around and took the remaining photos from the other Mane Six.
“Give me that!” A deep blush was on her face.

The white unicorn now shook her head and went to the window.
“The Changeling has already breached our defenses…” While looking out of the window, Rarity deduced that in the middle of the night the Changeling must have breached the outer security lines, knocking out a sleepy guard in surprise. With a determined look she turned around and pointed at the unconscious guard. “You see what he’s done to our guards!” In detail Rarity then explained how the Changeling probably caught the sturdy stallion by surprise and knocked him out. “And worst of all… He could be anypony of us!” With terror in their eyes the girls remembered the Changeling’s ability to copy any pony they once saw. Maybe one unlucky guard was copied and knocked out while staring in terror into his own evil grinning face.

Rarity then looked at each and every one present.
“It could be in this very room! It could be you! It could be me! It could even be-”

In the next moment, Rarity was tossed through the room as Pinkie’s Party Cannon blasted her.

Tyler jumped in surprise.
“Whoa, what the fuck?”

Pinkie Pie now raised a hoof, accusingly.
“What? It was obvious! She’s the Changeling! She was the only one who wasn’t with us the entire time! Watch, she will turn into one any second now...”

But instead of turning into a Changeling, Rarity came back to her senses and growled angrily.
“Pinkie PIE!!!”

“Oops…” While Rarity chased after the pink earth pony to poke her with her horn, Tyler now facepalmed and shook his head with a sigh. “Both of you, stop this nonsense at once! Pinkie Pie, there are tests for making sure Rarity isn’t a Changeling, no need for the Party Cannon!”

Pinkie then lowered her ears and approached Rarity with a sad face. “I’m sorry Rarity… I overdid it. Are we still friends?” The white unicorn grumbled a bit, but then smiled with a sigh. “I guess I can’t be mad at you forever… And it wasn’t that hard of a blast.” But this only earned her a tight embrace from Pinkie who seemed to want to make up for the mistake. Tyler shook his head with a smile.

Princess Celestia now entered the room and looked to each one of them. “The threat has been handled… The guards found two Changelings who attacked them when they were discovered. Unfortunately both of them didn’t survive, I would have liked to speak with them. I must ask all of you to take the Changeling-test.”

A few minutes later the test was done and everyone passed, prompting Tyler to nod.
“See, Pinkie Pie? No need for the Party Cannon…”

But Pinkie shook her head, raising a hoof.
“I wouldn’t trust this test to 100%!”

* * * * *

Later that evening Tyler sat together with Twilight, Applejack, Luna and Celestia as they conversed over several topics. The alicorn mares seemed very interested into Astrophysics, although Tyler could only give them crumbs of knowledge about this. But they were most satisfied with hearing of what he could remember from documentaries. Stories about planets so hot, that there is rain of iron, was both amazing and strange to the alicorns. After a while, Twilight climbed on top of Tyler and gently pushed his chest down so he was lying in the soft pillows. Tyler knew what she probably was up to and took off his shirt. When she leaned against him, her chest rubbed against his and both felt each other’s body heat. meanwhile Celestia went into the bathroom.

Twilight was visibly unsure about this position, but trusted Tyler and Applejack. AJ winked to her with a sly grin.
“Ya going to love that, Twilight.” It felt strange not to be taken from behind, to rest on top of him. But already could she feel him enter her body and looked into his blue eyes. And now Twilight understood almost instantly why Applejack loved this position. Like this, they could kiss and exchange sweet little secrets in intimacy. As the movement in her womb intensified, she pressed her lips on his and his tight embracement let her roll her eyes. Mere seconds were between her and her climax; her fast breathing signalized this to him. As he released himself in her with gritted teeth, she let out a short neigh and blushed heavily. As ecstasy released her from its grip, she came to her senses and looked at him lovestoned. After a heavy barrage of kisses, she got up and rested at Applejack’s side. “Well, Sugarcube? How was it?”

With a satisfied smile Twilight closed her eyes in bliss. There were orgasms and there were orgasms making the mare neigh without control. And the latter were simply...
“There are no words…” This prompted the earth pony to chuckle, knowing she was right.

Tyler sat down on the other side of Applejack, caressing her big belly.
“Well? How’s the passenger?”

With a gentle and loving smile she looked at her belly and enjoyed the strokes he gave to it.
“He or she is quite active! Ah feel a kick every once in a while…”

Tyler rested his cheek on her belly and smiled.
“So small and already the little one is ready to buck the trees, huh? A behavior from the mother…” He then got up and kissed his country girl before resting his forehead on hers. “Sorry that you can only look tonight…”

But Applejack merely shook her head with a smile.
“Ya have made me so happy already, Ah don’t care. Ah only hope ya can give this happiness to the others as well someday.”

Tyler then turned to Luna, who was just resting on the bed. Even in their sleepovers, Luna took her duties quite seriously. He had to be inside of her for her not to check on the night every once in a while.
“So… My maiden of the night… I must say I’m curious…”

“Thou are curious about what, my love?”

“About your appearance as the mare of nightmares… Will you grant me the chance to see how you look in this state?”

Luna grimaced a bit, this request didn’t seem to be to her liking.
“Only reluctantly… Celestia?”

The white alicorn nodded.
“Yes, I’ll handle the influence…” Then, after a short charge of her horn there was a short flash and Luna looked like Nightmare Moon again.

As Tyler saw Luna in her complete black appearance, he smiled.
“You don’t look like a nightmare to me…” Luna turned away her face in shyness, he was flattering her again, but she didn’t want to be flattered for this appearance. “Even in your darkest form there is still beauty, you are no creature of terror.” He then took off the helmet and cuirass.

As he caressed her cheeks, she closed her eyes in reluctance.
“Please, Tyler… For thy own good: Don’t come so close to me! I… I want to change back now…” But still his hands slid over her perfect black coat up to her neck and turned her face to him before he kissed her. Luna’s eyes widened. 'Acceptance…' She thought. 'Tis unconditional acceptance… This is my darkest side and he embraces it, wrapping himself into my personality like a warm blanket.'

How she loved him for being that way.

As their lips parted, Luna gasped and looked into his face.
“Tyler… I’m ready…” He nodded and caressed Celestia a bit, and leaned in for a deep kiss with her as well. Celestia knew the intention of this kiss and with a chuckle, she kissed him, absorbing the accumulated dark influence within him. It wasn’t much, but for the short amount of time, the influence accumulated quite fast. If this would go on for the whole night, Tyler might become violent again. After this kiss he turned to Luna who already charged her horn for returning to her harmonic self.

There was a short flash and Luna was the Princess of the Night again.
“A pity…” Tyler stated. “I would have taken you in that form as well.”

With a smile Luna raised her flank and awaited him.
“Of that I am certain, my Dark Companion… But there is no need for thee to expose thyself to that amount of my influence. Even though it would be very sweet of thee to accept and love me even in this state.”

Tyler nodded with a smile, mounted her and took her from behind while Applejack looked up to Princess Celestia with a blush. “Uhm… Celestia?” One could literally hear the slight problems Applejack had to accustom herself with calling the princess like that.

But Celestia only smiled at her.
“What is it, Applejack?”

“Uh… We never talked about it because we’re all happy as a herd… but what about the place of the fifth mare?” As Twilight, Celestia and Luna each arched a brow, the earth pony simply shrugged. “Just sayin’…”

Tyler grinned and stopped his thrusts into Luna for a second. “Well… Do we need a fifth mare? I mean, I’m more than happy with you four. I mean, I have the hot country girl, eager to invite me into the barn after a day of hard work, and soon to be mother of my first child… Then I have the curious librarian who’s eager to learn about Earth… And then there’s the outrageous luck to win the hearts of not one, but two alicorn mares, whose beauty and kindness is only outshined from their love. In this herd there is love, security and harmony. What kind of pony could add to this?”

“A party mare?” Twilight said with a grin.

Tyler on the other hand answered with a laugh.
“The most innocent mare? The mare who’s sworn goal is to make everyone smile? Yes, Pinkie Pie would add something to our herd, but… Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think I can keep up with her. I doubt anyone can do that…”

Twilight tipped her chin.
“How about a botanist?” Again Tyler shook his head.

Applejack now raised a hoof.
“Ah know some of the Apple Family mares who still are single!”

“A DJ!” – “A cherry plantation owner!” – “A teacher!” – “A Wonderbolt?” – “Nurse?” – “Mayor?” – “Spa Pony?” – “Weather Patrol?”
As they bombarded him with more and more possible mares they were suddenly interrupted from Luna’s loud moan. Her climax had taken her once more into sweet bliss and she turned her head to Tyler, who kissed her with a smile. Twilight and Applejack looked at each other and laughed. This herd already took care of itself on its own and finding someone to complete this even further was a very difficult task.

Celestia then raised her voice in a calm manner.
“How about a concubine?”

Now Tyler was stumped.
“There’s a pony with that talent?”

Celestia shook her head.
“There isn’t, but what if we allow one mare to be Tyler’s mare for pleasure for a limited amount of time?”

“I don’t know, Celestia… I mean I have four mares around me with four… you know… wombs! Do I really need another one? I’m happy with you.”

But the white alicorn raised her hoof.
“Luna and I aren’t always here… Sometimes I am in a foreign country to see some delegates arrive here safely. Also, Twilight and Applejack are occasionally out on their adventures… A thing that will calm down for Applejack I guess, but still… We won’t be there at your disposal all the time. And believe me, I have seen many herds from the outside… Some male individuals tend to get accustomed of always having a female at their disposal.

Tyler arched a brow while he stood up.
“Are you saying because I’m a male, I’m a cock-driven animal?”

Celestia laughed at this wholeheartedly.
“No! By the stars, no you are not.… What I mean is: I wouldn’t be mad at you for being a healthy young man.”

“Speaking of healthy… Holding it back for so long seems rather unhealthy. I think it is time, isn’t it?”

Celestia’s whole body shivered in pleasant anticipation.
“Yes! Yes, it is…” With this she lowered herself down besides Luna and slightly raised her flank. “I’m ready…”

But Tyler grinned.
“Oh, I won’t simply give it to you. I want you… to beg for it!”

Celestia’s throat tightened as Twilight raised a hoof.
“That’s mean, Tyler! None of us had to do that!”

In the next moment, Celestia raised a wing between her student and Tyler. Her lips were shaking. 'He’s so wonderful…' she thought.
“I… I want it…” Arching a brow, Tyler began to smile gently. With a blushing face the white mare continued. “I… need it! Please give it to me, master!” With this she raised her flank up high while lowering her head. As he touched her flank and massaged her haunches they began to shiver in ecstasy.

Tyler grinned over to Twilight.
“I think you and I will learn a lot tonight. We will learn how much pleasure your mentor and herdmate can endure…”

With that he entered Celestia, who took a sharp breath in.
“Yes, Twilight… Take good note on this practical demonstration… You might need it someday…”

Both the unicorn and the earth pony watched as Celestia gave in to her lust as she received thrust after thrust. Their faces blushed almost as heavily as Celestia’s as the white mare moaned heavily. She was taken right in front of her student’s eyes and the element of honesty. Her heart felt light and dizzy and she was happy that it was this herd that saw her like this. How many heat seasons had she endured? It seemed like so many, so many countless times that this sex now brought her the feeling of relief. Soon, very soon, he would cascade his seed right into her longing body and she could think clear again.

Twilight held a hoof in front of her mouth.
“Oh ponyfeathers… He’s… He’s really mounting her!”

Applejack shook her head in disbelief.
“Whoa nelly! And she’s letting him… Ah’m… Ah’m pregnant from a stallion worthy of being Celestia’s lover!”

Luna grinned at both Twilight and Applejack, before she gave Celestia’s horn a thorough lick, which made Celestia moan even louder. Tyler arched a brow, knowing quite well from the alicorn hitchhiker’s guide that the horn could be a very erogenous zone, but also a very sensitive zone for pain, able to bring pain and paralysis for a moment.
“Well, my beloved? How dost thou like the womb of my sister?”

Tyler rolled his eyes in pleasure and pulled Luna closer, only to press his lips on hers.
“It’s paradise… But I guess that’s the kick of having the privilege of having both sisters and my girls united around me.”

Luna now grinned slyly.
“I want thee to rut her until she’s screaming for thee to stop…” Tyler looked at Luna and thought he would see a mixture of love and lust in her eyes. Obviously, Luna was thrilled to watch her older sister getting it. Maybe it was her dark side wishing to see Celestia doing something immoral or forbidden. Maybe it was the love and care of a caring sister and herdmate. Maybe it was a dash of incestuous lust… But for now Tyler tried not to spend so much effort into analyzing. For a good hour he pounded Celestia from behind and already his endurance was at its limit. A normal man would have given up already due to fatigue, but Luna magically enhanced his body a bit to have more endurance. Tonight he was going to give it to all his mares, except for Applejack who was unable to partake due to good reason. Finally the moment came and he moaned with his hands clawed in Celestia’s haunches as he gritted his teeth.

Saliva ran down Celestia’s chin as she rolled her eyes, sex-crazed. How she needed this! Her horn began to glow and Tyler moaned in slight pain as her alicorn magic engulfed his testicles. Two seconds later, a small fountain of sperm shot out of her womb.
“Yes… You’re filling my womb to the brim…”

Now Twilight arched a brow.
"I don’t know of such a spell… Is that a-”

Celestia closed her eyes as a bead of sweat rolled down her forehead.
“Yes… A semen multiplier spell, slightly changed so that his testicles are not altered.”

“Yeah…” Tyler muttered spend. “But in this form the seed won’t take root in her anyway. She just wants to drown her heat in sperm…”

Finally the magic ceased and the sperm ran down her hind legs before she came back to her senses with several deep breaths.
“I’m sorry I used you like this, Tyler…” It was like a veil slowly lifting from her shrouded mind. All her senses, formerly under control of her womb, now followed her command again, more and more.

He shook his head.
“You are forgiven… Thanks to this event, I can literally claim that I came buckets in an alicorn!” He chuckled and levitated a can of water to himself and downed it. “But I must say this sperm spell makes me thirsty. Don’t overdo it!”

Celestia now turned her head over to him and smiled. One could clearly see the longing love in her eyes. She as well saw more in him.
“You are such a potent and virile stud…”

Tyler chuckled along.
“Celestia, you really get a turn-on from all the dirty talk, huh? I think you are the naughtiest of my mares…”

Celestia giggles mischievously.
“And a naughty mare needs to be punished.”

Tyler arched a brow.
“Punishment, hm? There’s no punishment that wouldn’t please you anyw-” Then it occurred to him. “Wait, there actually is one… One I’ve never given you before… to none of you.”

As he grabbed her ethereal mane, she tried to look back. More and more she looked a little spooked.
“What? What are you doing? What is he doing back there?” As Twilight gasped, holding a hoof before her mouth, her mentor looked at her. “Twilight… What is he-” Then she felt the slight pressure against her backdoor. Gasping for air, she tried to curl in his grasp, trying to get free. “No! Not there! It’s unclean! I-” But already he pressed onward and entered her anus, prompting her eyes to open wide, her jaw dropping, her lips shaking. A mixture of unknown pain and pleasure leashed up her spine and a lustful deep groan escaped her throat before she gritted her teeth. “OH BY THE STARS!!! YES!!!”

Twilight had visible problems to believe in what she saw.
“Luna… Why is he…?”
“Tis lust and pleasuring my sister, Twilight Sparkle… There are many secret ways to pleasure a mare, some are a little bit unusual and don’t serve the purpose of procreation.” Twilight nodded. She remembered how Applejack had oral sex with Tyler in the Crystal Empire. Until then she never thought of sex that way. Frankly, until she knew Tyler, it only was a process for procreation and only a nuisance. Now at his side she learned to see things from a different perspective. In an epiphany of self-analysis she recognized that she matured at his side to a mare fully aware of her body and the many possible ways to love one another. She then looked over to Applejack. “What do you think, AJ?”

“What do Ah think? Twilight, Tyler is bucking the highest of all mares in front of mah eyes in the ass and ya want to know what Ah’m thinkin’?” The Earth pony now looked at the unicorn with a shy grin and a blush. “Frankly? Ah think Appleseed shouldn’t be an only child…”

As Luna watched her sister getting pleased in several ways, she began pleasing herself. When Celestia and Tyler came together, there was also a slight shiver in the Princess of the Night and she moaned slightly. A deep blush was on her face as her eyes were locked on his throbbing member pumping seed into her sister’s backdoor. Her fantasies now got the best of her and she closed her eyes.

“Tyler… I want thy foal…”

In the next moment, her herd was looking at her and while Tyler smiled gently, Twilight and Applejack looked at her quite surprised, but happy for her to express such a wish. Celestia’s mood however was ruined. Silently, she got up so that Tyler left her backdoor and looked angrily at Luna. Tyler arched a brow as she left the room.
“I’m having a bath! I feel a bodily disrelish to remain here where certain topics are spoken about. Tyler? Thank you kindly for calming my heat down…” With that the door slammed shut behind her.

Tyler looked after her.
“What was that all about?”

Luna bit her bottom lip and searched for the words.
“Celestia… thinks I’m not ready for having a foal. But it’s my decision, isn’t it?”

He blinked at her and finally nodded.
“Yes… Of course…” It didn’t feel good to tell this lie to Tyler, but after all, it was her body and her wish for a foal with him.

* * * * *

On the next day, the evening of the Grand Galloping Gala, Flynn, Sam and Rachel came down the stairs into the hall. Sam smiled wide,
“What a glamorous night! One could almost think we’re at home on Earth!”

Rachel arched a brow.
“Earth? Well the architecture is a bit odd for human standards, but I guess if you saw one castle, you’ve seen them all…”

Sam however shook his head.
“I doubt that there’s a place like Canterlot… Alright… Spread out, I’ll try to find Lyra in this crowd.” With this they went into different directions.

Flynn felt a bit lost among all these high society ponies. They didn’t seem to talk about any topic he was interested in. It then happened that he went a bit backwards and bumped into somepony.
He immediately turned around.
“Oh! I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to bump into you.”

From the little insight her blue pony jumpsuit gave him, it had to be a yellow mare with orange, almost golden eyes and a fiery mane of orange and amber.
“No harm done, don’t worry… Wait a second… You are one of the new humans. I must say I’ve heard some good things about you folks.”

Flynn arched a brow and nodded.
“Thank you, Ms…”

“Spitfire will do… Say… You’re that human who tried to apply at the academy…”

“Flynn Marshall, that’s correct.”

“Too bad you don’t have wings… I saw you running during the race. I recognize potential when I see it.”

He then arched a brow.
“With all due respect, I doubt that. I know Rainbow Dash is the fastest flyer in existence, yet she isn’t a Wonderbolt as of today…”

Spitfire’s expression now became very strict and formal.
“Is that so…?”

Flynn then nodded.
“From what I know, that is how it is.”

Spitfire looked around, obviously to see if they were being watched and then got closer to him.
“You seem to be one of her friends. I’d like to be honest to you. But you are not allowed to tell this to Rainbow Dash! If you do, we might reconsider in our decisions concerning her…”

Flynn now gulped and nodded.
“Being a pilot I know the importance of the term ‘top secret’.”

“Good! You see, we recognized her before, yet we can’t make exceptions for some gifted mare thinking she can take the world head on. Rainbow Dash is the fastest flyer around, but precisely because of this we hesitated very long. The Wonderbolts aren’t a One-Pegasus-Show! We perform as a team. Rainbow will have to prove to us that she understands this. If she does, I see no reason why she shouldn’t have a future in the academy.”

Flynn nodded and felt bad for not being able to tell Rainbow right away, but maybe it was better this way.
“Do you think she can do that?”

Spitfire looked over to Rainbow and smirked.
“She’s the Element of Loyalty! If anyone can understand the meaning of teamwork, it’s Rainbow Dash. Like I said before: I recognize potential when I see it. Have a proper good evening, Flynn Marshall. I’m eager to see where YOUR potential leads you…” She said, in a very erotic way, and examined him for a short second before giving him a nod. Flynn wondered a bit. Was this Wonderbolt mare interested in him?

They both parted ways now before Rainbow approached Flynn.
“Guess what, RD? I just had a little talk with Spitfire.”

“What? She’s gone already? What were you two talking about?”

“Oh, just my application for the academy and how I would be of great importance in a role on the ground, but not in the air…”

Rainbow frowned.
“Yeah… It’s a pity you don’t have wings, Flynn… With your ultra-speed you could be almost as fast as me.”

He chuckled.
“Only almost?”

Both laughed a bit when a waitress approached them.
“Miss? Sir? Do you wish to try some Hors d'oeuvre?”

As the waitress offered them some appetizers, Flynn took one and gave it to Rainbow, before he took one for himself. Both tried their appetizers and they were surprisingly good. Flynn nudged Rainbow for a bit to watch and pointed behind the waitress.
“Isn’t this Princess Luna devouring a whole moon pie?”

The waitress turned around in wonder and curiosity and Flynn took this chance to activate his high speed again, eating all the Hors d'oeuvre within two seconds before standing normal as if he never moved. As the waitress turned around again, she was quite surprised.
“No… I can’t see her at- HUH?” On her hoof there was now an empty plate.

Flynn simply looked around, as if oblivious to what just happened.
“I must say these Hors d'oeuvre must be especially tasty for the guests. Everypony seem to eat them off the plate!”

As the waitress returned to the kitchen with a very confused expression on her face, both Flynn and Rainbow snickered before they burst out into wholehearted laughter.
“That look on her face was priceless, Flynn!”

In another part of the gala Tyler, Princess Cadance and Shining Armor greeted each other.
“Tyler, it feels so good to see you're well!”

Both Tyler and the Princess embraced each other.
“You look gorgeous as always, Cadance. I take it life in the Crystal Empire is good?”

“Very so, Tyler, you charmer.” She gave a short playful giggle. “Although I miss how you broke the routine with slamming into our country with your crystal sarcophagus.”

Tyler grinned.
“Let’s keep it that way. I’m not thrilled to repeat that anytime soon.” She then went on and greeted the other guests and after a few minutes her greeting with Twilight became audible.. Meanwhile Tyler stood beside Shining Armor, who seemed a bit tired. “Shining… Man, you look like you suffer from fatigue. What have you been doing?” A broad grin grew on Tyler’s face now. “Nightshifts for the conjugal duties?”

Grimacing, Shining struggled to get a smile out.
“I don’t know what’s with her… Since you left the Crystal Empire, she’s been all like…” Shining looked over to Cadance, who unwrapped herself a lollipop and began to lick it gently, keeping eye-contact with him and Tyler. “…like this!”

Tyler closed his eyes and bowed his head for a heavy chuckle.
“Congratulations, Shining! You’re experiencing an alicorn mare in heat and such a gorgeous young one as well! I can already see what she’s wishing to do right now…”

Shining only shook his head.
“Heat season? I always thought that she was having heat season like everypony else! That of course explains everything… But for how long-”

“It lasts for a complete year.” Tyler interrupted him. “My take is that around the day I crash-landed in the crystal Empire, the entire heat season started…”

Not long after that Cadance approached them both again.
“Shining? I wish to have a little… talk with you in our chamber.”

Shining gulped and leaned to Tyler.
“Help me…”

“Before she straps you on the bed to rape you?” Tyler chuckled and waved to Cadance. “Cadance? Would you kindly come over here? I think you, Shining and I should have a little talk in an isolated room.”

“Why is that? You want to join in?”

Now Tyler was stumped. Did she really offer him to…? He shook his head with a smile.
“I’m sure it wouldn’t please Shining to share this moment between you two with a third individual.”

She arched a brow and gave them a sly smile as they went into the room.
“Maybe… It could also boost his ego to know that no one could replace him…”

Shining sighed and looked to Tyler.
“See what I mean? I’m afraid I can’t keep this up much longer…”

The alicorn mare now turned to her husband.
“Shining… Do you say you’re unhappy with me?”

“Of course not… You’re everything I could ever hope for in a mare. It’s just…recently…”

Tyler intervened now by finding the words for Shining.
“Cadance, Shining Armor isn’t accustomed to alicorn heat. It seems that you, as a young, energetic, and quite sexually active alicorn mare have been a little… over the top.”

Hearing this seemed to wake Cadance up, seemed to ring some alarm bells in her mind and her expression turned to worry as she turned to Shining Armor again.
“Oh no, what have I done? Honey, is it true? Did I become that tiring in my demands?”

Shining grimaced a bit before he looked down.
“Well, it wasn’t killing or harming me… I just want to sleep a bit more...”

She agreed with a determined nod.
“You will! Tonight I shall have no pleasure and you shall have all the rest you…” A slight snore became audible from him. When they both checked, Shining had fallen asleep. Cadance looked at him with guilt in her eyes. “…need… What have I done to him…? My poor Shiny…”

'Shiny?' Tyler fought the urge to laugh before he shook his head and rested his palm on her back. “You acted out of instinct. Your body tells you that you need it really bad. My take is your divine self-control isn’t fully developed yet. Don’t worry about this; this year of alicorn heat is almost over.

Cadance now nuzzled her sleeping husband before turning to Tyler.
“I know 54,798 kinds of love and ways to make it… I love him so much I want to show them all to him. Unfortunately, he has less endurance than I have. Thank you for reminding me of this. The last thing I want to do is harming my beloved.”

Tyler chuckled.
“He’s one lucky bastard to have a gorgeous alicorn like you at his side. But I can’t envy him since I’m in a herd with your aunts.”

Cadance now arched a brow and examined him with a smile that spoke for itself as her looks kept glued on his crotch once or twice. Tyler noticed and raised a finger.
“No! Don’t even think about it! That’s the heat that’s making you think that! I mean it would be tempting, but…”

Cadance raised a hoof and shook her head.
“Don’t worry… I am faithful to Shining and would rather endure the worst kinds of pain before I allow myself to fall that low. But you can’t blame me for being curious about the human who can please not one but two alicorn mares. Maybe you can give Shining a few tips to handle me better?” A playful giggle came from her now. “Oh well… By the amount of times we did it so far, I would say, heat might be the least of my problems… If I’m lucky that is.”

Tyler’s head suddenly turned to Cadance and a smile formed on his face.
“You- you mean…”

Cadance now beamed.
“It’s possible, isn’t it? And the love for a foal is the warmest there is.”

Tyler smiled and patted her shoulders.
“If you’re getting pregnant, you won’t only make your subjects happy and confident, Shining Armor would probably be the proudest stallion in all the Crystal Empire.”

With a confident smile he then left her and returned back to Twilight and Applejack.
”Where have you been?”

“I was talking sense into Cadance. She’s a bit… energetic in bed due to alicorn heat and Shining… Well, although he enjoys it, it gets very tiring… By the way, where is Luna?”

“Rarity said she’s preparing something in her chambers, but she doesn’t know what. Ah think it has something to do with a dress or jewelry…”

Looking over to the white unicorn, Tyler knelt down with a grin and placed a kiss on her hoof.
“Lady Rarity? Are you enjoying the evening?”

Giggling a bit, Rarity waved her hoof once to tell him to stop flattering her.
“Oh, Tyler… A pity you aren’t the prince of my dreams. Or a prince at all… Then again, sometimes you’re too princely to be a prince.”

Several mares looked between him and Rarity.
“He associates with the princesses and spends time with her.”

“She must have something special about her…”

“He called her a lady… Is she of royalty?” Rarity overheard these comments and held her chin high. Yes! Among her closest friends, was one worthy to be a prince and he treated her like a real lady. Something some Canterlot stallions could learn a thing or two from.

She then returned to the the others. Fluttershy, Rainbow and Flynn were conversing with Lyra and Sam.
“…and these Harmony Rangers are supposed to fight threats for Equestria as well, in order to protect our world. That is, if we ever find the crossing to home.”

Sam nodded.
“Once we find it, protecting it could be easy. Could be… It all depends where or what this is. We were sucked into the sky by a vortex, we don’t know if it’s a portal or vortex in this world. Or if it’s always in one place.”

Fluttershy cocked her head.
“Tyler once said he found a ship of your world in the Amasian Enclave. So crossing into our world seems to be random as well. I must say I’m curious about the wildlife of your world.”

Flynn smiled.
“I believe you would love it there.”

Shadrane now approached the group of friends and faced Flynn and Sam.
“May I ask the two gentlemen to follow me? Princess Luna has a request she wishes to tell you in person.”

Sam nodded to this.
“Of course.” He then bowed to Lyra and whispered something into her ear, causing her to giggle playfully before both men went through a large wooden door.

Rarity now looked at Lyra with a smirk.
“Is he as gallant as Tyler?”

Lyra replied with a smirk now herself.
“I don’t know about Tyler, but Sam can be very gentle… But also he can become quite an animal.”

Fluttershy held a hoof in front of her mouth.
“Oh… My… You mean he…”

A short tremble of arousal went through Lyra.
“Let’s say I can’t wait for spring to come.”

Rainbow tipped her chin for a moment before looking back to the unicorn.
“Say… Do you think I could have one of your newest editions of your Anthropology? I need it for-”

Lyra nodded, beaming.
“Yeah! I’ve heard about your task. I already took note of it and you can have my theories to it, if you want.”

Both men now entered a room where Luna sat and drank a cup of tea.
“Ah! There thou both are… Are thou enjoying thy evening at the gala?”

“Very much so, it is a nice event, even though we’re not the usual gala visitors… Right, Flynn?”

“Oh, they serve good Hors d'oeuvre here…”

Sam shook his head just as to say ‘Come again?’ to his friend, before Luna raised a hoof.
“Flynn, Sam… I wisheth thou both to help me.”

Both of them nodded.
“Sure, what can we do for you?”

“I want to announce that I’m in Tyler’s herd, to make it official. It… It will need a certain chain of gestures. I want thou two to play some… Thou knowest…”

As she looked down in slight embarrassment, Sam nodded.
“Oh, so you want us for some sweet romantic music.”

She turned her head away in shyness.
“Yes…”

Sam nodded and nudged Flynn into the ribs.
“Alright… Let’s do this… He nudged me into the right direction with Lyra, time to repay the guy. Ok, listen… We will take this song and alter it like this…” Luna’s eyes began to sparkle as she saw the lyrics they both wrote down.

* * * * *

Half an hour later, the normal orchestra was granted a pause and Rachel saw that a gray earth pony mare was assisted by Vinyl Scratch.
“Careful with it, Vinyl… You know how much I love it.”

But the DJ simply smiled as she carried the cello.
“Don’t worry, Tavi… I can relate. I will treat it like a newborn.”

Rachel then looked at Twilight.
“What’s this all about?”

The lavender unicorn, however, shook her head.
“I have no idea…” Now while Sam was playing the keyboard, Flynn played the guitar. It was a very slow song and the lights dimmed a bit. Then Tyler recognized the song and smiled. Tyler had his eyes fixed on Luna as she was coming down the stairs, whom was wearing a snow-white dress. So it was her doing. As she approached Tyler, Flynn began to sing the gentle song.

“I've never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight,
I've never seen you shine so bright,
I've never seen so many stallions ask you if you wanted to dance,
They're looking for a little romance, given half a chance,
And I have never seen that dress you're wearing,
Or the highlights in your mane that catch your eyes,
I have been blind…”

While Flynn sang, Luna brushed her tail at Tyler while passing him. The crowd gasped at the gesture of deep affection, and one or two mares fainted when Tyler returned it to Luna. Cadance smiled at this and leaned against Shining Armor, remembering the days when they were at this wonderful point in their relationship.

“Princess in blue is dancing with me, cheek to cheek,
There's nobody here, it's just you and me,
It's where I want to be.
But I hardly know this beauty by my side,
I'll never forget the way you look tonight.”

She bowed her head to his chest and raised her head slowly while taking a deep breath at him.
Both lovers looked at each other, this was their moment. Even if all of Equestria should collapse this very second, they were at least together. And with pride he redid this as well. He then kindly smiled at Luna while caressing her cheek.
“You know what you’re doing, my love?”

While leaning against his palm she nodded.
“No more hide and seek…” And while they smiled at each other, Flynn continued.

“I've never seen you looking so gorgeous as you did tonight,
I've never seen you shine so bright, you are amazing,
I've never seen so many ponies want to be there by your side,
And when you turned to me and smiled, it took my breath away,
I have never had such a feeling,
Such a feeling of complete and utter love, as I do tonight…”

Now Luna performed another gesture and due to the stance of her one spread wing towards him, Tyler recognized it as it was THE gesture Twilight was most serious about and scolded him the most for while he was learning. It had to be recognized at once and was done only together. But it came to his surprise that Luna was taking their relationship this far so early and in public. He immediately brushed his fingers in an open palm to her feathers and stopped his fingertips at the tips of her feathers while they both orbited each other as the music continued.

“Princess in blue is dancing with me, cheek to cheek,
There's nobody here, it's just you and me,
It's where I want to be.
But I hardly know this beauty by my side,
I'll never forget the way you look tonight.”

The gesture was long and the crowd stood there in awe, jaws dropping. Twilight squeaked with glee as she saw the gesture.
“M27! M27! YESYESYESYESYESYESYESYES!!!!”

Rainbow and Applejack looked between the couple and Twilight.
“I take it this is cool, Twilight… But what does it mean?”

“My, it’s clear what this means, Darling!” Rarity interrupted. As the white unicorn opened her eyes again, her eyes were sparkling like crazy. “Royal proposal! Wah-hah-HA! BRAVO! BRAVISSIMO!” As she clopped her hooves on the ground in applause, the crowd snapped out their trance and joined the applause. It was then, when the couple stopped the gesture and stood together, united.

With a shivering voice Luna looked up to her lover.
“I can’t remember when I was as happy as right now…”

It was then when Luna’s horn began to glow, a bright light blinded everyone for a moment. As the light ceased, the crowd gasped. A beautiful young woman with dark blue ethereal hair stood in front of Tyler now. Her dark wings were still there, maybe a compromise to make the most of her human. Her genetic structure was more complex than an earth pony after all. She still wore a simple, yet elegant white dress what barely covered her petite tush, or her cutie mark, but this one was cut out for a human. Obviously she tried to provoke Tyler with this dress.

Flynn and Sam whistled, and Flynn leaned over to Sam.
“Ohohohoh… Dude… That hot chick is the princess?”

Sam simply shrugged.
“I didn’t even know that was possible! She looks like a supermodel… Maybe this can be done for every pony…?”

'An angel…' Tyler thought. 'She’s like an angel…' As his hands rested on her waist, she put her arms around his neck and pulled him in for a longing and passionate kiss, unusually aggressive for her, yet Tyler could hear her silent whimper, she was at her limit and needed him right now. As their lips parted, she whispered into his ear.
“Come with me, my Dark Companion…” With another flash they both vanished. Celestia’s eyes narrowed as her mood grew more and more grim. 'Oh no, you won’t!' While a murmur went through the crowd, the princess of the sun went silently through a door.

Applejack looked at Twilight.
“Now, Sugarcube… THAT was unexpected…”

Twilight however shook her head.
“I have a weird feeling with this…”

* * * * *

Both the Princess of the Night and her lover were standing in almost complete darkness and the embracement went on for what seemed like an eternity as the kisses didn’t seem to stop.
“I’ve waited for this moment… Tyler, be with me tonight! I don’t want to share thee with all the ponies downstairs! I want thy hands all around this body! I-” He then rested his fingers on her lips and nodded. He knew she was excited and thrilled, but needed to calm down. Slowly, he let her slide down onto her bed.

As she was lying on her bed, her legs spread, Tyler’s head was buried between them. She offered herself to him like this and they both knew it. Becoming human was a big treat from her and he was up to take her offer. Especially if it came from her, an alicorn. In this form, so she explained to him, her normal powers were inhibited and limited, but would return at sunrise when her body would change back to alicorn form at the touch of the first ray of light. Now her otherwise silent chamber was filled with her sweet moans and her hands ruffled his hair as she reached orgasm. Her whole body arched at this orgasm and she could swear that until now this was the best orgasm she had in her entire life. Was it because of him or because of the anticipation? It didn’t really matter.

Her cheeks were burning and she went on all fours, and lowered her upper body onto her bed while her sex was raised high for him to mount and impregnate her. Tyler felt slightly dizzy. Almost the father of one child he was begetting another one. Was it really wise to do this? Yet there was this urge to become one with her, to have a foal with her as well. Was this another influence? Did this urge in him to want her so badly come from her? It didn’t really matter.

He was in her… A part of her… And with luck this part of both of them would grow into something new. An eternal testimony of their love. A foal with him, how wonderful this would be… Impatience built up in her. She wanted his sperm in her womb so desperately right now. It would calm her womb, the unbearable urge to get impregnated. There was no doubt he was the right choice. The love they both expressed to each other was the most satisfying emotion she felt in eons. She felt… fulfillment. Yes, that was the emotion she could think of when with him. And now he was going to beget a foal with her… it felt like wrapping herself into happiness. As if happiness would be a warm blanket. Already her heart was filled with pride. She was proud to be the alicorn mare to have his foal. Soon she could talk with Applejack about-

Her thoughts were harshly interrupted as the door slammed open and Celestia stared at them, aghast.
“Get away from her…”

Tyler first looked surprised to Celestia, but then he smiled.
“Come on, Celestia… it’s not like you’re not getting your tu-”

“GET AWAY!!!” With this a detonation wave smashed Tyler away from Luna and a large part of the walls behind him were ripped out from the castle.

As he fell, the magic shield built up around him, before he pulled up his pants and flew back to Luna in a magic sphere.
“Stop this! Why are you getting violent all of the sudden?”

Meanwhile the rubble had been noticed at the Gala as Applejack looked at Twilight.
“Ya go first, Ah’ll tell the others before Ah follow ya!”

Celestia slowly approached them both, her horn already charging.
“I won’t let you impregnate her, Tyler! I’ve tried to reason with her… But once again, the wish for something blinded her judgment!"

Luna now stood up.
“Celestia! What in the Tartarus are thou doing? Thou knowest how this wish for a foal with him fills me with joy!” Another flash occurred when Luna teleported Tyler and herself into the royal garden, where no one was in at the moment.

But only seconds after that Celestia followed.
“And I already told you: We are forbidden to beget foals! Especially with someone like him!”

Now Tyler arched a brow.
“Someone like me? Now what the fuck are you talking about?”

The white alicorn’s eyes narrowed.
“It doesn’t matter! The decision is made! It was made eons ago, before Equestria was even founded! I told you, Luna… We are forbidden to beget foals!”

“Forbidden? Declarest whom? Thou won’t decide for me! I will be with Tyler and we will live in happiness!”

In a threatening manner Celestia pointed her horn at them both.
“I cannot allow this to happen!”

“Tsk! Just watch me!” But just as Luna turned around to Tyler, a bright force field surrounded her and a magic barrier formed between them both. First it was only a few centimeters that parted them, a meter and then two meters were between them. More and more space built up between them when Luna’s human body became light and Celestia levitated her younger sister towards herself and away from Tyler.
Fear now grew in Luna. In this human body, she was limited and no match for Celestia. She didn’t want to part from him because she knew without him her heart would break forever. He was everything she ever dreamed of and she wanted him as a permanent part of her life. In panic she reached out for him and spread her fingers to him. “TYLER!!!”

Tyler remembered Celestia’s tale about an alicorn war. Obviously she feared something from the past to be repeated and deemed more alicorns on the planet to be a danger.
“IS THIS YOUR IDEA OF LIFE FOR HER, CELESTIA? THAT YOU DICTATE HER EVERY MOMENT OUT OF FEAR?”

Celestia gritted her teeth. It didn’t felt good to do all this, but to avoid the sins of ancient times she had to do this. As she yelled down to him, her voice already was devoid of all of her usual warmth.
“YOU STAY OUT OF THIS, TYLER JONES! THIS ISN’T ABOUT ANYPONY BEING HAPPY!!! THIS IS PART OF AN OATH I MADE EONS AGO TO OUR MOTHER!!! AND BY THE STARS!!! NEVER AGAIN MUST ALICORNS BE ALLOWED TO GET NUMEROUS!!!”

It was then when Twilight and Applejack arrived in the garden. Twilight didn’t fully understand the situation. Why was Luna naked? Then it occurred to her. Both Luna and Tyler obviously were having sex, but Princess Celestia interrupted them, and why use magic to part these two? By now Tyler tried to levitate himself up to Luna with a magical sphere, but the magical barrier between them both was impenetrable. Lightning and gushing winds pressed him away from her.

Luna now began to cry.
“If that’s how it is, I forswear of my tiara and my status as an alicorn princess! I’d rather be with the one I love to my heart’s content than to be limited in such a way!”

This plea of Luna only enraged Celestia even more.
“THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AS WELL!!!”

Luna now fought against the spell, her wings flapping to gain speed to reach Tyler again. Sheer terror and despair was on her face as her hand spread out to Tyler again, who still fought to get to her.
“NO!!!!”

Twilight was shocked of these words. Abandoning her immortal life and all her powers for a life with Tyler was the greatest claim Luna could make and it left her mentor simply untouched. Something was heavily amiss here and she looked up to the white alicorn quite angry.
“PRINCESS CELESTIA!!!”

“TWILIGHT SPARKLE! YOU STAY OUT OF THIS AS WELL!!!” Celestia shouted as Tyler fell back to the ground, gritting his teeth.

“Tyler!” Applejack now raised her hoof and wanted to do something, but she had to be responsible for the foal in her belly now as well. She couldn’t help much, which angered her. Also, this was a clash between titans and she could only witness it.

Tyler now got up and slammed his fists against the barrier.
“DAMN IT, CELESTIA!! DON’T DO THIS!!!”
But Celestia didn’t yield in her opinion. With a cold expression she reeled her younger sister in as Twilight charged her magic. The young unicorn didn’t know the outcome of the dispel spell, but she had to try for the sake of her herd. This was the second time she and her mentor were on two different sides on something but since the royal wedding of her brother Twilight felt vindicated to follow her feelings. And all the feelings inside of her screamed that these two should get a chance to love each other to full extent as well.

No one saw that one of the stars of the night sky grew larger in his light. It was then that a bright beam of light shot from the sky and hit Twilight’s horn. She yelped as magic filled her eyes and a magic circle began to glow on the ground. This magic circle was far beyond anything Celestia ever taught her student and a very strong magic catalyst filled the librarian as a bright dome of light detonated from her which engulfed the whole place with a deafening thunder. The guests on the gala gasped in shock when Rainbow just wanted to tell the others that something was amiss. Celestia’s eyes widened as she recognized the alicorn magic streaming from her student. It was a very powerful dispel magic and it undid several things. Luna’s transformation, Celestia’s grip on Luna and several passive spells. They would need to get a hold of both sun and moon again once this was over. 'How could Twilight perform such a powerful spell?' But as light engulfed her, it occurred to her. Twilight was only the medium, not the actual caster of the spell.

As the light ceased, Tyler blinked and regained his sight slowly before he clenched his fists and stood between the two alicorns.
“Enough of this madness! I don’t give a fucking shit anymore! Celestia! If you want a fight, you’ll have to go through me first!”

But when Luna and Celestia got up, Luna’s tears of despair dried up quickly and turned to tears of hate.
“Indeed… Thou haven’t done this for nothing…”

Now the sky filled itself with stormclouds and wind came up. Again in her alicorn body, Luna was able to fight on her own and confronted her older sister with a charged horn.
“I shall make thou pay for what thou hast done!” By now the summoned wind destroyed many of the windows and demolished the garden, but Twilight had the feeling that this was only the saber rattling of two mighty mares who were about to fight.

Tyler stemmed himself against the roaring winds, barely holding his feet on the ground as he tried to reach her.
“LUNA!!! STOP THIS!!!” Celestia stood her ground without problem, her alicorn magic protected her, Applejack and Twilight from the angry cyclone her younger sister casted.

She shook her head in disapproval.
“Again you act like a spoiled child… just like a thousand years ago! Believe me I have VERY GOOD-”

Somehow these words reached Luna’s ears and infuriated her even more.
“SILENCE, THOU, OLDEST OF HAGS!!! THOU SWORE TO ME THAT WE WERE ALWAYS EQUAL!!! HOW DARE THOU TO DO THIS TO ME AGAIN! AGAIN!!!” By now, Tyler almost reached her as he stretched his arms out to Luna. If it weren’t for the protective magic charged within him, the winds of the cyclone would have blown him meters away a while ago. But as he fought forth, almost reaching Luna, his magic charge suddenly ceased.

'Oh fuck!'

In an instant the winds took hold of him and dashed him away. His clothes were torn to pieces and one of the many cuts of air hit his right eye. With a scream of agony he landed outside of the cyclone and twisted around in pain, holding his eye. Luna ceased the magic in an instant, seeing in terror at the damage she had caused.
“NO!!!”

As they all galloped to Tyler, Celestia bowed over him.
“Let me see!”

But when her hoof tried to move his hand away, he slapped her hoof away.
“You want to take a look? Here! See what you’ve done!” As he removed his hand from his face, he looked at Celestia with an enraged expression. His right eye… It was torn apart and beyond help for hospitals or unicorn magic. “You told me about why you alicorns shouldn’t be numerous, but it didn’t come to your mind of telling it to your sister in all these years! We are talking about millenia here!!! And how stupid is that? And instead of explaining this to her, what do you fucking do? You behave like you fucking own her, and decide what’s best for her! Girl, you sure know how to mess things up! And all of this because of your own fear! Damn it, Celestia! I really thought you would be wiser than that!”

Celestia shook her head in disapproval.
“I asked her to wait, but nooo…”

“THOU ONLY WANTED CONTROL OVER ME!!!”

Now Tyler raised his voice in anger, almost reaching volumes of the Royal Canterlot Voice.
“Both of you will stop RIGHT THIS INSTANT!!!” As both of them looked at him mouths agape, he sighed. “In every marriage or community there are times when crisis strikes… And this is the time for this herd now! I won’t tolerate that we fail in this! Not for such a stupid sibling war! We will talk things over or I leave right this instant and bleed to death! A death that would be YOUR fault!” Celestia became quite silent now and looked down, ashamed.

Luna, however, looked with anger at his eye.
“I don’t care what she says! The sun may plead and threaten; the moon will stand her ground!” These words hit Celestia like a sledgehammer and prompted tears to well in her eyes. These words… They burned eternal in her memory as they were the same Nightmare Moon once proclaimed. “All shall see and wonder of the Dark Companion at my side when both our bodies are entwined in our eternal love!” Turning now to Luna, Tyler saw that her eyes had changed. Her pupils were deformed into cat-like pupils that slightly shined at him.

“Have you taken a look into the mirror lately, Luna?” Tyler grabbed her chin and looked grim at her. “I was serious when I said I will leave… Either you both settle things now and in a peaceful manner or I don’t want you two in the herd anymore!”

Luna nodded reluctantly.
“Nocte, my Dark Companion… I shall endure her presence for your sake… ” This word felt like a dagger stabbed into Celestia’s heart. Nocte. How dared she to repeat Nightmare Moon’s battle cry like this. She deliberately said this to hurt her.

Tears ran down Celestia’s cheeks.
“Luna… Don’t do this to us…”

Luna stood still for a second, her cat-like pupils became thin slits as she turned around in rage.
“Us? US? I demand my right to feel love to full extent! To have children! It is my birthright! Nopony will deter me from it! Nopony will dictate my life like this! Not even thee! After millennia the alicorns could finally come back to the brink of restoration! Isn’t this a good thing?”

Celestia shook her head in disapproval, looking distrustful towards the couple.
“You weren’t old enough back then, Luna. You can’t remember what happened in those final days when we alicorns were numerous. You never saw what was born. What our mother fought to defeat for the sake of the whole of Equis. Not just the void creatures, but all the atrocities, the dire misery alicorns brought. The living nightmares our people summoned in their blistering hate against each other, terrorizing not only alicorns, but pegasi, unicorns, earth ponies and shadow ponies alike. Before mother had to turn all alicorns, except the little foals, into stars, the war turned into Tartarus on Equis!”

Tyler stared into Celestia’s eyes. Deep within these strict and aggressive eyes was something different. Something he never imagined he would see in her eyes so clearly and open. Behind a façade of strictness he saw the fear in her, the terror that struck her so hard she would turn even against the happiness of her own sister. Celestia now continued.
“And that’s what you’re dangerously close to do, right here in Equestria: Begetting alicorns with the eternal fighting spirit of humans!”

With this, a crystal orb fell out of the sky and slammed into the ground only a few meters away and whirled up a small cloud of dust. A holographic image of a white mare appeared over it, a crown resting on the head right behind of the horn. When the Queen looked upon Celestia, her eyes were very strict and sad. Celestia now backed away in sheer terror like seeing death personified.
“Mother! No! You’re gone! All alicorns are gone! You told me so yourself!” Twilight never actually saw her mentor that frightened from a single pony. The snow white alicorn mare with the bloody red mane now looked at Tyler.

“Tilerions… Listen close to me now, mortal. For I shall speak only once to you in your entire life… If you hear me now, it means that the one thing I never wished for my daughters to happen has occurred. Luna and Celestia have made dreadful mistakes.” Both Celestia and Luna heard these words and bowed their heads in shame as the queen continued. “They did this on their own free will ,and, in spite all you could say to dissuade them. Now with my help they’ve calmed down enough to be reasonable to arguments, able to see their mistakes. The urge to redeem themselves grows in them as I speak. Look at me, my daughters…”

Luna now looked up to her mother, seeing her for the first time in her life.
“Mother…” Instinct dictated to her the feeling that this mare truly was her mother, the blurry memories of foalhood, the calm and caring voice… Tears began to run down her face.

“Once before, when you were small, I cleansed Equis of all evil we alicorns did in folly, to give you the chance to start anew. And now, even though it will strick fear in your heart…”
Celestia shook her head, fearful of what was to come next.
“Look at me, Celestia!” Shivering, the sun princess ceased to move, before obedience compelled her to look at her mother. “The alicorns shall lead ponykind into a future of kindness and love, not fear and tyranny. If you part these two who love each other… you will become the mare who keeps running, never looking back because she dare not, out of shame. You are more than this, my daughter. One day, the alicorns shall be restored. Yes, they shall be restored in small numbers. Until then there must be no discord, no tears, and no anxieties. Just go forward with all your beliefs… And prove to me that I am not mistaken in you. I have... and will always love you.”

With this the recording ended and the hologram of the queen vanished. Luna shook her head in silent terror, realizing the entire problem. As she blinked, her eyes slowly normalized.
“Thou… thou never told me about this. All these years you never mentioned it, you dirty old…” Then it struck her. 'All these stars I craft into our night sky are our ancestors…Mother… Mother did this for the sake of all of Equis? How bad was this war?' As she got disoriented for a bit realizing the terrifying truth, she looked up to Celestia again. “Now I understand… Thou saw this war! And thou feared that he might be the reason that our children want to fight? Then when, pray tell, are thou going to have this talk with Cadance?”

Celestia pointed a hoof at Luna.
“This is not about Shining Armor! He has the will to protect others, but humans are a whole different story! You saw it yourself, didn’t you? Any creature able to kill so many lives in an instant needs to be watched closely. It is their nature to fight! Either for good or for bad! We don’t know enough about the human nature to say for absolute certainty what this will to fight, coupled with the power of an alicorn body, can do to an angered mind!”

“And thou think Tyler and his children would fight each other? He already has proven time and time again that he’s different and thou know that! Please, Celestia… Sister! For my sake! Give him a chance to prove himself worthy to be the father of our children!”

Twilight meanwhile inspected the wound in Tyler’s eye, only to shake her head with lowered ears at the severity.
“I can’t help you with this, Tyler… I could only cauterize it…”

Tyler however shook his own head.
“It’s OK… She could have killed me with this… I guess any deeper and the blow would have punctuated the brain…”

Looking over to Tyler and Luna, Celestia bit her lip.
“I... I can’t control you two like this… But I’m so scared… Scared that this nightmare returns! Scared…”

Luna now approached her big sister and nuzzled her.
“All these eons… All this eternity thou remained silent, Celestia… Thou should have told me… “

Tyler now got on his feet again and looked at the two alicorns.
“Celestia? Luna? Will you continue fighting?” Both mares shook their heads, prompting him to nod. “Good… Then I want a hug from both of you…”

Luna smiled, but raised her hoof up, pointing it at his eye.
“First, allow me to rejuvenate thine eye to its former state…”

But Tyler shook his head.
“You may restore the eye… But the scar will stay!”

“What? But why?”

“This scar will remind you two of this day… Whenever you both look into my face, this scar will remind you of the misery you brought upon each other!”

Both alicorns now looked down in shame.
“You… You’re right I guess… Both of us are guilty of this situation today…” Celestia looked at Twilight. “See this, my faithful student? This is the part of me that our subjects probably will never remember… Some alicorn I turned out to be…” Twilight nodded in silence. Witnessing this was making her lose some fear from her mentor. She was an alicorn, but she also had a personality with fears like anypony else, and in fear she could make bad decisions like anypony else.

Tyler held still as Luna’s magic undid the damage on his eye. It stung heavily, but the pain slowly ceased.
“I’m so sorry, my beloved… I wreaked such unforgettable harm upon thee… Can thou ever forgive me?”

“You’re healing the eye already. Make sure I don’t feel pain because of this anymore and we’re fine… As for your sister and you… Man, what were you thinking? Were you thinking at all? Celestia! Come to me, please.” When Celestia approached him, he slapped her nose from above. It wasn’t a hard slap and didn’t hurt at all, but the message was clear: He disapproved of her actions and was mad at her. ”Bad alicorn! I usually don’t have the right to tell you how to do stuff since you’re more powerful and older than I am… But as you said before, not many stand up to you like I do. So let me tell you this: I want you to talk with Luna! Tell her in detail about the horrors of the alicorn war! Show her the misery that alicorns wreaked upon each other so that she understands! Understanding this will be the first step for her to understand, to full extent, the importance of why future alicorns must be taught about this war, so they can never repeat this again like you two almost did…”

Bowing down her head, Celestia complied. Her harsh voice had completely vanished by now.
“You are right, Tyler… Those who do not learn from the past are doomed to repeat it. This night gave proof to this…”

Tyler now hugged both of them at the same time.
“You have a lot of things to talk about, you two... I pray that one day you will overcome your fear, Celestia.”

Celestia nodded in silence. before she turned to her younger sister.
“Luna? Shall we go?”

When Luna and Celestia returned to their chambers, Tyler stood before Twilight and Applejack and turned around.
“Come, you two… This is a thing these two must see through by themselves.”

Twilight raised a hoof.
“But what if…?”

He shook his head.
“Her mother has sent a magic orb to tell them to talk to each other to sort things out, and I told them likewise for the sake of their country… What more can we do? Stand next to them like they’re little fillies? Or have faith in them as adult mares?”

On the way to their chamber, the other girls intercepted them. Rainbow was the first to approach them.
“Twilight! What happened? There was a big storm out there! And before that, there was a bright dome of light! Are we being attacked?”

“Is there something amiss?” Rarity asked. “Should we go to Canterlot tower for the elements?”

But Twilight shook her head and looked at Tyler.
“The princesses had a little… dispute. But thanks to Tyler and some divine intervention the catastrophe had been averted…”

Slowly normality came again and Sam gulped a bit when seeing Cadance.
“Another alicorn princess… It’s my pleasure!” As he bowed and delivered a kiss to her hoof, Cadance smiled.

Tyler, however leaned over to Flynn and lowered his voice.
“Careful, she’s in heat. She might bite…”

Cadance looked at Tyler and winked at him before looking at Sam again.
“Don’t worry Sam. I won’t bite… hard…”

Sam began to grin and looked at Shining Armor.
“Your husband must be very happy with you.”

Shining, still a bit tired, snickered.
“Every stallion or man can be happy with the right mare at his side. Don’t you think so?”

As Lyra stepped next to Sam he nodded and rested his hand on the unicorn’s neck, stroking it.
“No, I don’t think so… I know so…”

When Lyra leaned against him, Cadance’s smile grew.
“How wonderful… I’m happy for you two. I know of the case of the peculiar Lyra Heartstrings. My aunts once talked about you.”

Lyra’s attention was now piqued.
“The princesses… talked about me?”

“But of course! You’re the theorist and anthropologist that knew about humans even before their arrival on Equis and without knowledge about the prophecy of Tilerions. My aunts converse about your anthropology once in a while. They seem quite interested in your ‘work in progress’.” This piqued Lyra’s attention. So her Anthropology was being read, even in the highest of places. This was exciting news.

But she then bowed before the pink alicorn.
“Princess? I would love to continue this conversation, but we have a train to catch. It’s the last one for today.”

Cadance giggled.
“I see... Yes, some nocturnal activities are best enjoyed in absolute privacy. Have a proper good night, you two.” When she and Shining went to the door, she winked at Tyler again, leaving him wondering about her intentions. Was she going to have it again with Shining? Was she flirting with him or simply gesturing him that he did great with calming down her aunts? But he stopped his thinking about all this. He had four wonderful mares and she was having a loving, caring and understanding husband at her side and both of them seemed happy with what they have. No need to make things more difficult by overthinking it.

Meanwhile the two regal sisters lied together on Celestia’s bed. Most of the tears had been wiped away and both had calmed themselves down.
“And how dost thou explain thy plans for Twilight Sparkle in contrast to today’s event?”

Celestia thought about this for a moment and finally looked at her younger sister.
“I was afraid of her powers at first. But I had so much more time to get accustomed to her situation…”

Luna then nodded. Celestia truly had several years, instead of just one, to watch and guide Twilight to lose her fear and gain faith in her student while Tyler stormed into their lives.
“Hey, Tia?”

“Yes, Luna?”

“Can you begin with telling me about mother?”

Celestia gulped and nodded with tears in her eyes. What Luna didn’t expect was the sudden embrace of her big sister and the silent sobbing. Then the emotions took her as well. Both had said gruesome and hurtful things to each other, almost fought each other. And now Luna had a slight insight of how her older sister must have felt in the past thousand years. She never realized the fear in Celestia’s heart nor did she listen. Fortunately, for the both of them, there now was someone to watch over them. The night passed half-way before Celestia had cried herself into sleep and Luna watched over her like a guardian.

On the ride back to Ponyville, Sam and Lyra were alone and were at it.
“What about Bon Bon?”

Lyra grinned while caressing his chest, careful not to tear his tuxedo apart.
“Don’t worry… She’s over in Trottingham to visit some relatives.” Seeing Tyler and the princesses so intimately together in front of all these ponies, obviously heated her mood up. At home she stood up on two legs and pressed Sam, who just came in as well into the now closed door for a long and hot kiss. With a deep blush on her face she looked into his eyes. “I’ll get out of that dress and prepare myself for my herd stallion… Then I want you to gag me because I know I’ll neigh all of Ponyville awake when you take me.”

Sam gave her a sly grin.
“Sure… Go upstairs already, I want to drink something first.”

When he downed a glass of orange juice in the kitchen he thought for a second. Being able to switch anatomy must be a very stressful situation for a mare to go through and obviously meant that she loved him. He took a look at the clock, five minutes had passed… He should go upstairs to Lyra and tell her how he feels for her. As he went up the stairs, he heard her voice erotically say his name, before one long human leg reached out of the doorway. With a lascivious smile did she look at him and with a gesture of her finger she lured him to come closer. Sam couldn’t believe it. The ample breasts, the firm and small butt, the beautiful long legs…
“Lyra… You’re… Baby, you’re a human!”

“I asked for permission and since Applejack already got her foal underway, Princess Luna has granted me to be human for tonight as well… This is a dream come true… Look! Hands! Am I…” She blushed a bit. “Am I beautiful?”

He shook his head.
“Baby, you’re not just beautiful, you are absolutely breathtaking!”

“Now, Sam… I want to have some fun in this body…”

He grinned and a moment later both were lying on the bed. But suddenly there was a loud banging in the closet and Sam looked up.
“What was that?”

“Probably nothing…”

“Tsk! A very loud nothing! In the castle they talked about Changeling attacks. Stand back, I’ll handle this…” While watching Sam walking to the closet, Lyra now backed out to the door.

In an instant he suddenly opened the door to the closet and raised his fist, only to find another Lyra in pony form, cocooned into Changeling wax. That’s when it occurred to him.
“Lyra!!! But when you’re here, who-” Lyra’s eyes opened wide as a shadow grew behind Sam. In the next moment a fierce blow hit his head and he went to the ground unconscious, prompting Lyra to scream into her Changeling wax gag.

The human Lyra glared down to her with a pan in her hand.
“You should have stayed quiet! Then no violence would have been needed!” Lyra looked grim at her human doppelganger and charged her horn, blasted a full charge of magic into her face. But her doppelganger only chuckled. “Save your strength, this human body is safe from all your puny efforts to harm me. Now… Let’s have some fun…” Now the impostor dragged Sam onto the bed and undressed him. It wasn’t until long that the humanoid Lyra climbed on top of him, using her prey.

Lyra felt so miserable, her special someone was raped right in front of her eyes and she couldn’t even help him. Bitter tears ran down her cheeks as her doppelganger had her way with the unconscious Sam. If only someone would help her. After half an hour the human doppelganger stood still and grinned diabolical. “He came…” This caused Lyra to whimper in heartache. Why was her doppelganger so ruthless? Why would anyone do this to her Sam? Climbing off from Sam, the stranger had lost every interest in him and went in front of a mirror.

After some minutes, Sam became conscious again. His limbs were cocooned onto the bed and his mouth was gagged by Changeling wax. He didn’t know exactly what was going on, but in front of him the human Lyra began to lilt a bit.
“This night has been just perfect...
The kind of night of which I dreamed since I saw your kind…”
As her eyes began to glow in poisonous green her hair recolored itself to a dark cerulean.
“Achieving this took quite a dare…”
As her skin turned black like chitin he recognized with horror the holes in her arms and legs
“…To give birth to a supreme nightmare!”
As she turned around, he looked into the black chitin face of a grinning humanized Changeling female.
“Good thing a loving heart is so easily blinded…”
Sam’s yelling and screaming was muffled by the gag of Changeling wax over his mouth. No curses or cries for help were heard. With a sadistic cruel grin the humanoid Changeling queen reveled upon his misery before arching a brow. “Ooohhh, this goes rather quick this time… “And right in front of them she knelt down and gave birth to one Changeling egg alone.
