5 - Equestrian Girls ***

Several months had passed now since Tyler achieved citizenship and settled down in Ponyville. Due to his human nature, tools were used by him with great efficiency, making him someone to look for if some things required maintenance, or repairing during winter. Thus, it was no surprise that many of the earth ponies had great use for his service. All in all, he turned out as a great enrichment to the town. Twilight stated that it was a pity his bandages prevented him for this year’s Winter Wrap-up; they could have used someone like him, either to organize or in one of the other teams.

While he fit in more and more, Pinkie Pie spent more and more time trying to persuade him to give a big welcome party for him. She sang songs, came up with ideas, appeared out of every possible place that could or could not hold a pony, bounced around him and looked up to him with big puppy eyes. But it wasn’t before his bandages went off in spring that he gave the hyperactive earth pony his nod of approval. It wasn’t long until then that she organized a huge party in Ponyville’s town hall.

As preparations were done, Pinkie went along the street with Tyler and Twilight,
“So, are you excited? I’m really excited because this is my first party for a human! I just hope you like the cake! I couldn’t decide what to bake for your welcome party, so I baked my whole recipe book! Which is a good thing; a lot of ponies are invited! Everypony seems so curious about you it really is…”

As she bounced in front of them Twilight looked up to Tyler,
“Anything you’re looking forward to on the party?”

Tyler thought for a moment,
“Let’s see… Oh yeah! I’ve promised Lyra to spend some time with her today as well… Ah, this can happen on the party as well. Is it OK that I invited her, Pinkie?”

With a broad smile the pink earth pony nodded,
“Uh-huh! The more the merrier!”

With this she flashed away in another run to prepare even more; Tyler simply went on,
“I asked her to get me an electric guitar so I can show her my stuff.”

Twilight gasped to this,
“You play an instrument?”

He simply shrugged,
“Didn’t I tell you, Twilight? Back on earth, I played the guitar at parties sometimes. So Lyra asked this DJ of Ponyville… Vinyl Scratch I think… to get us some things. Speakers, an amplifier, and the guitar of course. Lyra’s crazy for my fingers. I didn’t expect a mare to be so obsessed with my hands. She had put every level in motion to see me using them. Poor Bon Bon… She had to sit still for an entire hour so Lyra could see me caressing her mane. So, to prevent other stuff, I went along and offered her to show her some music from Earth if she can get the instruments.”

Twilight laughed about this,
“Poor Bonnie…”

Once they arrived in the town hall, only a few ponies were present yet. Lyra waved over to Tyler as she was having a talk with a white unicorn with a striped mane of moderate cobalt blue and cyan; Tyler also recognized two bridged eighth notes as her cutie mark.

As he came closer, she took down her large DJ glasses and revealed eyes of moderate cerise,
“Awesome, Lyra! You didn’t exaggerate about him. You should work with me once in a while, dude! All the wubs we could make; plus, with those fingers of yours, I’m sure you can be pretty useful on the discs!”

Tyler shook his head,
“Nah, I’m not fit for being a DJ, but thanks for the offer!”

She waved it away and presented an electric guitar,
“OK, dude… That’s cool, too. Now, this baby here is one I hardly part from, but Lyra here told me you were good on it. That baby is already tuned and set to go. Let’s hear some!”

Tyler then took the electric guitar and went on stage. As he played the song he simply called ‘Canon Rock’ from some guy called Jerry C, the ponies listened quite curiously. The song began very slow and harmonic, but after several moments, Tyler began to rock the instrument, playing it in a manner the ponies couldn’t ignore. From far and wide, they gathered before the town hall as the song caught their attention,
“A concert in Ponyville?”

“Isn’t this the human?”

“My, he can play!” While playing, Tyler leaned to Lyra, who grinned from cheek to cheek while watching him and his fingers; her eyes sparkled in amazement and joy. It was like his fingers were dancing on the chords and seemed like it was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen.

Tyler was so into the song, that after some time, he didn’t recognize how many guests had entered the town hall and cheered for him as if he were some kind of rock star. As the song ended, he smiled wide,
“You are a great audience Ponyville!” As the ponies screamed for encore in unison, Tyler shook his head. “Another time, folks! I still live in Ponyville!” With this he looked to the mayor. “And this brings me to my speech, just before the buffet opens…” He gave Lyra the guitar and she kept the instrument dear like a newborn.

“Madame Mayor, ladies and gentlecolts… For several months now I’ve lived among you in this land of yours as a visitor. I’ve seen the beauty of your culture; I feel great joy in your magnificent accomplishments, your innocence, and your kind spirit. As of a few days, I’m not a visitor anymore… For Equestria has become my home now, too. I-” He was interrupted as Pinkie Pie leaped onto him and hugged him tightly, causing him to puff- “Ooof! Pinkie!”

But by now the earth pony cried emotional tears,
“It’s okay, Tyler! We all love to have you here! Right, folks?”

With this the crowd cheered again,
“OK… Then to make things short for you all: I now declare the buffet open!” As the guests minded their own conversations, Rarity noticed something about Tyler.

To her wonder he was the only one eating from a meal plate with brown roasted food she never saw before and he prevented everypony else to eat them like he was worried about something. Curious, she trotted towards the table, placed two hooves on it and leaned in,
“I wonder, why is your dinner served on these tiny little white sticks…” Rarity wondered with a big smile. “Is this another human eating habit or ritual; how quaint! I think I should make some appetizers like that.”

As the elegant unicorn eyed between Tyler and the plate, Twilight shook her head,
“No, Rarity… These are ‘spare ribs’ he’s eating.”

The white unicorn’s jaw dropped as she realized the meaning of this,
“Y-you mean this was formerly a living being?” As Twilight nodded, disgust made Rarity shiver. “My! What a barbaric behavior!”

Finishing the last rib, Tyler looked to her,
“Tell this to the beast that wanted to eat me alive in the Everfree! I just defended myself, and the now victorious brute completes his diet to stay healthy. You don’t argue with YOUR meal, do you?”

“Why of course not, darling! Vegetables and fruits don’t argue! But eating some animal… That’s… that’s just…”

“Not the pony way, I know… But I’m not a pony, Rarity. I need to eat meat once in a while or I’ll become weak and sick sooner or later, I’m sorry if you deem it uncouth, but it has to be.”

“I understand this; however, It is not that I won’t tolerate this, but… It just seems so… barbaric and savage…”

Cleaning his hands and mouth with a napkin, he stood up and caressed the white unicorn’s mane, careful not to ruin it,
“I didn’t mean to gross you out, Rarity… Come! Let us reason together about culture. I promised you a story about the Venetian masked balls. I’m sure I could enlighten your imagination for more dresses and suits.”

Looking at him beamingly, she smiled from ear to ear,
“Wah-hah-HA! Now this is more like it!”

* * * * *

As the party went on Rarity and Tyler conversed about many topics of Earth’s art and plays,
“My, what a romantic opera this must be! You should send this idea to Canterlot! To think that Christine had to choose between endless love with Raul, and endless inspiration with the Phantom! I’m not sure how I would decide! I think I would take them both!” She shook her head, giggling in a childish manner.

“I thought you would like some of the human cultures, Rarity.” Tyler replied. “Some of them are bound to please a romantic heart, and the music, oh yes, the music… Do you know there are millions of songs and thousands of operas back there? More than you could ever listen to.”

With a brief chuckle, the white unicorn smiled at him,
“Oh I know at least two ponies who might want to spend time to this…”

As the party ended, Tyler said goodbye to everyone and went home with Twilight who left Spike for a sleepover at Rarity’s place,
“That was one great party!”

Twilight chuckled,
“It sure was! Pinkie always gives the best parties. Especially the ones in private.”

As they entered the library, they went directly upstairs,
"Now Twilight, what I wanted to ask you all the while is that, do you know how long I’ve been here in Ponyville? Both as a citizen and time spent here before that.”

“A couple of months, I think. Why?”

Tyler cleared his throat before continuing,
“Well, I noticed something peculiar; there are much fewer stallions than mares in Ponyville. Is this the common demographic pattern in Equestria?”

Twilight squee’d with a bright grin as she realized her human friend wanted to know something she could give a presentation about. Showing him a demographic flipchart she pointed out to the graphic,
“Yes, that was very observant of you, Tyler. You see, there are several differences in numbers between the male and female pony population. According to recent census data, there are 53,583 mares in all of Equestria, but only 10,716 stallions, making a balance that for each stallion there are five mares. So you can see mares tend to grab what they can get.”

Tyler imagined it in his mind,
“I see…”

Twilight then continued,
“This ratio led to the historical ‘gathering’ of stallions, especially among the wealthy and more powerful mares among earth ponies, unicorns and pegasi alike, making stallions a highly priced status symbol. That was in the dark ages, before the princesses took ruling Equestria into their own hooves. Back then stallions were mere breeding machines. A mare who managed to have more than one stallion was considered very powerful.”

“But as time went on, society changed and stallions and mares alike refused to accept this system any longer. With the princesses coming to power, it was unwritten law that stallions and mares do not live in monogamy, but spread their relations into a fine web. Mares gather around stallions. One mare makes the start and as soon as she sees another mare fitting for them both, she invites the new mare into the herd. Come to think of it, if there would be alicorn stallions, the princesses surely would share them. Anyway, as the new system took place, there were of course some who rejected it.”

Tyler whistled in amazement,
“You sure studied history well, Professor Sparkle!”

His reply let her blush deeply,
“Aww… It’s nothing, you know? It’s just facts and understanding them. So… how is this different to human population on Earth?” The lavender mare now bit her tongue, knowing full well he sacrificed his only way to return a few months ago and maybe was unhappy with this topic. “Ohmygosh! I’m sorry, Tyler! I didn’t mean to…”

With a warm smile he waved her concerns away,
“Ah, I don’t mind, Twilight… I’m over it. I can live here as well, but I need to know more about your society, its facts and history, your way of life and how relations work here. Human population back on earth? I dare to say that we have a fifty-fifty percentage of male and female. Some families tend to have more males; some tend to have more females. It’s a course of things one simply cannot understand in a sane manner. There are countries with a strict one-child-policy due to overpopulation.”

Twilight arched an eyebrow,
“Overpopulation? How so?”

With a chuckle Tyler continued,
“You better sit down, Twilight. There are about six point nine billion people living on planet Earth. Mankind sure is numerous as of today.”

By now her jaw simply dropped,
“Billions… How do you even live! Stack your houses?”

Her human friend simply laughed at that thought,
“Something like that. We build constructions called skyscrapers. Buildings with hundreds of floors. The ‘Kalifa Tower’ has 163 floors and a height of 828m.”

As he raised his hand up, Twilight looked up, trying to imagine such a tall building,
“Wow! Your people sure are something if they can build such a thing. I’m sure it could reach up to Cloudsdale without a sweat.”

Leaning forward, Tyler nodded to her in confirmation,
“And I’m amazed about your constructions. I mean, come on! A whole city made out of clouds? That’s something original in MY book. But let’s get back to topic, shall we? Those countries with one-child-policy due to overpopulation…” Twilight nodded and took a quill and a note. She really enjoyed this conversation with him. Earth seemed exciting, different to her known environment and had its wonders. Tyler, on the other hand, was astonished about the achievements the ponies brought to existence. This all was great content for her next report to the princess.

Tyler then continued,
“You see, some people see it that way, should their child inherit and continue the family legacy, and the only means to do this is to be a boy, given that many of the societies mankind has brought up are patriarchy. You know what this means?“

Nodding silently, Twilight looked up to him,
“Yes. In patriarchy, males are the dominant ones in society. The female has to submit herself to him. There were some centuries were ponies formed strict matriarchies, so I know… They didn’t… kill their own children?” He grimaced and nodded his head sadly. “Oh, how awful! To think that the parents you trust the most are out to kill you just because of the gender you were born with…”

Tyler shook his head,
“Yeah, mankind sure has its many flaws. I wouldn’t do such a thing since I was raised in another society on a different part of the planet, but just to give you an idea of what misguided parents do to their children back on Earth. I already told you, humans can muster nightmares and this is one of the minor ones.” He then stood up. “I’m getting us a few drinks, do you mind? Exchanging knowledge made me all thirsty. Water for you as well?”

She then smiled up to him,
“Yes, thanks.” As he went outside the room, she raised a note and a quill and began writing.

Dear Princess Celestia,
Exchanging knowledge with somepony can be a very interesting thing. Especially if this individual comes from a completely other world. It gives you a better understanding about their whereabouts, their achievements, their wonders and capabilities, and lastly, sharing opinions can open up mindsets, so new bonds and friendships can be won. My friend, Tyler, seems willing to share the achievements and wonders of his world, but the more I talk to him, the more I understand that coming here was for the better of him.

Although he doesn’t go into detail, I get the feeling that his kind is capable of bad things beyond my imagination. He keeps it back from me for reasons unknown, and yet I can only speculate if this is all kept in secrecy to deny us from repeating the same mistakes. When I talk to him about his world, I sometimes see glances of worry in his eyes. Knowing something others never must know must be a terrible burden, and I wish I could help my friend with this. But for now all I can do is talk to him, and not push too much.

Nonetheless, I’m happy to report that he fits in nicely with the other ponies in Ponyville, and that maintenance services turned out to be a productive enrichment to our town. As of today, Tyler learned about the population of Equestria and seemed interested about the whereabouts of the mathematic majority of mares. It wouldn’t surprise me if he ventures out soon to find his very special somepony.
Your faithful student,

Twilight Sparkle

Twilight then rolled the scroll together so Spike could send it to the Princess later. It was then when Tyler put her glass of water on the table in front of her,
“Here you go, Twilight. It has a dash of lemon in it for taste."

Twilight smiled up to him with a slight blush,
“Thank you, Tyler…” After levitating the glass and taking a sip, Twilight closed her eyes. This was actually a nice drink for the late evening. After she put her glass down, she looked to him. “So… How do you feel? Here in Equestria I mean.”

He took a sip from his glass and sighed,
“I don’t know…”

This caused her to look up to him,
“What’s wrong?”

“I’m not just a human in Equestria, Twilight… I am the only human in Equestria. I could pretend… Pretend this would be my world, the hasty world I’m used to, but the fact remains; I am alone. Of course I have friends… but that’s not the same. None of the parties Pinkie Pie could give, none of the kind acts of Fluttershy, Rarity’s clothing, Rainbow’s pranks, stunts and sports, or all the apples of Sweet Apple Acres could give me someone of my own kind, a companion.”

Twilight approached him slowly,
“Maybe… maybe magic can help you?”

“NO!” he shouted, prompting her to take a step back. “None of this Rainbow Gem crap ever again! I won’t endanger all of you folks for my sake! Of all the things, I cannot ask this of you.”

Twilight then looked down in thought before her glance rose again up to him,
“Well… maybe you should give it a go, Tyler? Find somepony special to you! There has to be a certain somepony for you as well!”

“Somebody you mean… The thing is, Twilight… and please don’t get me wrong on this: Where I come from, ponies are dumb animals, not sentient as you are, and it is sodomy to treat them as partners or to have a sexual relationship. Here, it’s different. Here ponies are sentient, sapient and intelligent as we humans are. But still… I feel like breaking a taboo.”

“Like your clothing taboo?”

He waved the thought away,
“Nah… Deeper! The thing with the clothing is I don’t want to…” He blushed as he recognized Twilight’s curious look again.

The unicorn arched a brow,
“You don’t want to do… what? You never exactly told us why you wear all that stuff!”

He lowered his head in defeat,
“Ugh! Fine! I’ll tell you! Because humans are bipedal beings, we guys tend to have it hanging right between the legs.”

Twilight rolled her eyes,
“Yeah… Same with stallions…”

Tyler nodded and continued,
“But that similarity is not the point. Now imagine me having a… let’s say delicate talk with a mare. While a stallion can keep eye contact with her due to anatomy, I on the other hand would erect directly into her face.”

Twilight grimaced,
“OK… point taken. That would be rude. But why would you worry about erecting in front of a mare in the first place when it’s a taboo?”

Tyler looked at her in an annoyed manner,
“Are you familiar with the term ‘in heat’?"

She nodded briefly,
“Yes, we ponies have it every once in a while in spring. Very strong ones can drive one mad if not taken care of.”

Tyler looked into the town,
“Now imagine this on a daily basis, each day, week, month, all year long!”

Her jaw dropped down,
“H-humans are always in heat?”

“Always fertile, it’s not so drastic that I go mad jumping at you. But it can become a nuisance. The growing urge to release it and soon the bare rump of some pony can make one begin to fantasize. To avoid certain situations which could embarrass me as well as others, I wear clothes.”

Twilight gasped as she heard that, but recollected herself quickly. She seemed a bit off track today. At least as Tyler could see,
“I see. Any mare sparks those fantasies in you or do you have favors? I mean do you favor one of our subspecies like the muscular earth ponies, us slender unicorns or the athletic pegasi?”

He looked at her, smiling nervously,
“Twilight… I’m not feeling very comfortable with the direction of this conversation right now.”

“I’m just curious, Tyler." She grinned. "You know… studies…”

While leaning near the door on the balcony, Tyler folded his arms,
“And what would you like to study from me?”

She looked up to him with a sparkle in her eyes as she gave him a seductive grin,
“Nocturnal activities…?”

He arched a brow as he mustered her approach,
“You mean how much clothing I wear at night and in what position I like to sleep in sleep duration? That kind of thing?”

Keeping her grin, she slowly walked towards him,
“Mating customs…”

While backing off slowly, he kept track of where he was going and kept track of her. Strangely, he got the thought that she might jump at him at any moment,
“Love Rituals?”

Her eyes were mustering him like a piece of meat and he didn’t like that lecherous look on her face as she suddenly jumped up and pushed him down with her front hooves. As he fell down, she positioned herself on top of him,
“Primitive sexual practices…”

“Um… So… you’re an authority in that area?” She lowered her lips to his, giving him a deep kiss, prompting his eyes to open wide.

After their lips parted she managed to mutter while gasping for air,
“Years of theoretical study… Hmmm… Aren’t you tasty, stud?”

Stud? STUD? Now hold it! As Twilight stood above him again, he gulped a big lump down his throat. “Twilight? As a matter of fact it is spring right now… Are you in heat?”

Suddenly, her eyes widened and her face blushed brightly red,
“WHAT? Oh no! Oh no!!! No! No! No! No! No! No!!!” She jumped off from him and cowered in a corner. “Sorry! Sorry! Sorry! Sorry! It took the best of me! You see, as a matter of fact, I AM in heat! But, unlike you, I don’t have so much self-control.”

He got up and looked to her as she was visibly ashamed of her own condition,
“Where is Spike?”

Without raising her head, she answered,
“Over at Rarity’s. I like to let him sleep over at a friend’s house when I get into this condition, except I forgot to tell you. This is so embarrassing…” Covering her head with her hooves, the librarian mare made herself as tiny as possible.

Tyler took a peek out of the window. He had sympathy with her, that state of heat must be something quite strong; something he as a human didn’t have. She must feel miserable about this… You should talk with her… “Wouldn’t it be…? I don’t know… We are both sentient… Would it count as bestiality if a human and a pony do it? I mean would people… I mean ponies frown upon this?”

Twilight peeked beneath one of her hooves,
“What? Well, I don’t know… There haven’t been any humans to have relationships with, so nopony can say how society will or should react to such a thing. But as far as I know, the others, they would welcome the thought of a herd with a human.”

Herd… Tyler thought. Like one guy and many girls? I mean monogamy is frowned upon, but seriously? Me and some of the girls? That’s another big thing to adapt to… Maybe one, but a herd?

Tyler then took a look on the clock,
“So… There’s no one around for hours?”

Twilight looked up and shook her head,
“No there won’t be, why?” He harrumphed and looked upstairs to her bed. As he surrendered himself to his fate, living amongst ponies as the one and only human would either mean to live in celibacy, or to have relations with the only other sentient beings in this world and to their terms as well. It somehow was like a sci-fi novel where only one human has to live among alien beings. He puffed and his mind got dizzy for a bit.

He knew he could adapt to anything, but this was a step that took some more guts to do. Well… I might as well do it with her, a good friend in a similar need…I mean she wants, no… NEEDS to! I kind of want to, no objections from her side… But somehow this feels like taking advantage of her condition… With this thought he spoke up to Twilight. “Say… As it is inevitable that this will happen with one of you… What do you say we get three flies in one strike? Your urges, mine, and your curiosity in one sweep.”

Twilight’s jaw dropped for a second, she bit her lip as she tried to maintain some sanity to rethink this and not to simply run upstairs awaiting intercourse with him,
“You… you mean it?”

“We will do it once. Once! And I like to keep that a thing between us two. Cross-species intercourse… I don’t know how you guys in Equestria handle it, but where I’m from; we frown upon such individuals… But given the situation at hand, me never having a human woman at my side again, and the fact that the only way to experience sex ever again is with one of you… Right now seems the perfect time to get used to it.”

With that he took the lavender unicorn and carried her upstairs, letting her down on her bed. By now the librarian in front of him shivered as he slowly caressed her body,
“Tyler? It’s my first time…”

“Oh believe me, that’s a first for me as well with someone like you, Twilight…”

“No, I mean… it’s my very first time!”

As he opened up his belt, he looked up to her, chuckling,
“Oh, uh… I’ll be your first experience then? I hope I’ll give a good performance… Don’t you worry.”

As he undressed, Twilight got a peek of his body. He was so different; doing it with him was so adventurous, so kinky. Her view slid down to his muscular body down to his erection, where her eyes kept fixed on. She felt her cheeks burn up as she simply stared on the member which could release her from her need. DO WANT!!! It was different from a pony penis in size and form, although the size seemed to be most satisfying. That is, her only comparison came from books.

With a hoarse voice she shivered while turning her head to his chest nuzzling him in desperate encouragement,
“Hurry… Please hurry… I’m going mad…”

But he hesitated for a bit,
“You know, Twilight… This should be something you should do…”

She looked up to him with a desperate expression,
“With someone I love, I know! But if it’s with you, I don’t mind. In fact, I want you to be my first!”

He shook his head in surprise,
“Does this mean…”

A deep blush rose on her face,
“Yes, Celestia damn it! I clop to you!” Now Tyler felt like someone punched him right into the face. She what? Again, she hid under her hooves. “I’m such a bad mare for forcing you into this…”

Tyler blinked down to her before he smiled,
“Twilight…”

“No! Don’t defend me now! I’m risking our friendship with this!”

He then narrowed his eyes in slight annoyance,
“Twilight!!! You’re risking nothing! You feel guilty because of this? So do I! I thought it would be like taking advantage of you. I don’t want to abuse your strong need for sex.”

She looked up to him, tears began to well in her eyes and her bottom lip began to shake,
“Tyler… I… I…”

His finger rested on her lips now,
“No need to say it, Twilight… I see it in your eyes…” She gulped down, turned around and leapt forward, pressing her lips on his for a more energetic kiss. Catching her a bit, he held her with both arms.

As their lips parted again, she gazed at him with a blush. It was too inaudible, but he could read her lips saying “I love you…”

He nodded and caressed her cheek,
“I love you too, honey. You’re so innocent…” Leaning a bit against his palm, she then got on all fours and bent over, raising her flank up high. Tyler gulped and caressed her flank with his fingertips, prompting her to bite on her bottom lip.

Her tail twitched and Tyler grabbed it holding it up while he entered her labia. With a loud moan Twilight greeted him welcome as tightness squeezed his manhood. A short and sweet pain brought her to the brink of agony as her hymen was broken and a sharp breath signalized him that she was in pain.

Tyler immediately halted in his position, turning her face to his,
“Are you enjoying our field study?”

As the pain ceased, she nodded. Her voice was shivering,
“Yes! Teach me more!” She welcomed his lips as they kissed passionately. As he began thrusting, the young mare shuddered in high squeals of delight. “Release… Release… Your sperm… in me…” While he kept thrusting, he grabbed her at the mane which seemed to make her run wild in an instant.

Loud moaning escaped her throat and he had to shut her up by putting his palm in front of her open mouth, muzzling her a bit,
“Won’t this make you pregnant while in heat?”

She rolled her eyes in ecstasy at the mere thought of a foal, truly her mind was fogged by her condition, but she tried her best to remember the facts even under the circumstances. As he released her for a short while to answer, his palm was wet from drool,
“How… many… chromosome pairs… you…”

With gritted teeth he muttered a “Twenty-three!”

A gasp, followed by a high moan made her close her eyes as almost everything around her vanished into pleasure. It sure was a strong heat this time,
“No… foal…”

And then she let go and fell to the bed, reduced herself to a drooling mare, unable to speak as pleasure took the best of her. Tyler gulped at the sight she offered him and tried to concentrate, thinking of something different than children. For him, it was getting used to sex with another sentient species. Though it felt like the best sex he ever had due to her tight womb… For her… well, in this state she was but a shadow of herself. She had lost all will of dignity, self-control and pride as her human lover broke her in.

After some time the orgasm shot through his body and he released himself in her with a deep moan. Her flank shuddered wildly as if she was having a strong orgasm at the moment he released himself deeply in her womb. He couldn’t imagine the magnitude of a pony orgasm or an orgasm while in heat, but from the look on the unicorns face, she seemed to be in bliss. As he stepped aside from Twilight, her labia was still twitching.

A few minutes later, she came back to her senses. Tyler was sitting right next to her on the bed,
“Now I’ve done it… I’ve popped the cherry of the star student of Celestia… I already see my head roll for this…”

Twilight chuckled nervously,
“I enjoyed it… It was very intense… Pity you won’t do that again anytime soon.”

“Now don’t get any wild ideas…It was a relief for both of us and… you know… different… Different from what I’m used to, but I won’t say it wasn’t great. In fact, you surpassed any human girl with that tight womb of yours… but I won’t hunt down every mare in heat now. Oh, apropos heat. How’s yours?”

Twilight caressed her sheet with a hoof while blushing,
“I… I feel better… Clearer! I’m sorry… We ponies have a stronger heat than you humans. The magnitude is pressed into a very short time which makes it quite strong sometimes. All my thoughts were circling around your stallionhood and how you would ram it into me merciless. But with your release in me it’s gone, and I can’t say I regret it.”

Tyler put his clothes back on, and sat on the bed again,
“OK… Just remember: Just this once... For now… I’d like to keep the thing between us a… Well I don’t know… Since we had sex together and you confessed to me, we’re more than just friends in my book now, but I don’t want this to be a purely sexual relationship one can just quit for another male or female.”

This made Twilight smile,
“I understand, big boy. I think I’d like to be your girl.”

“You? My girl? Well, I wouldn’t mind…”

She giggled happily,
“And Tyler?”

“What is it?”

She then placed a long kiss on his cheek,
“Thank you for calming me down.”

He waved it away,
“As long as I’m not a sex fiend here, fine… I’m not the guy who takes advantage of a mare in heat, remember that!”

Hugging him from behind, she nuzzled his neck,
“I never will forget this night in my entire life, Tyler... Thank you!” He then stood and stretched a bit as Twilight muttered a silent “I can’t wait what Princess Celestia says when she reads my next report.”

This caused his eyes to pop open and to turn around to her,
“WHAT?!?”

“I’m just kidding, Casanova! I promised you to keep it between us, so not even the princess will learn about this.”

Then Tyler went downstairs,
“I’m taking a bath. Being all sweaty sure isn’t good indoors.” As he left the room, Twilight closed her eyes and let herself fall into the bed. Hugging a pillow, she sighed deeply. It had been a wonderful first time and thinking of Tyler made her all cheerful and excited. No foals on this one… she thought with a smile slightly relieved. But right after that, she looked at the bathroom door. What was it for him? Was I a nuisance or something? Oh, maybe he didn’t wanted to be in bed with me… Maybe he prefers a mare of a more slender figure! Like Fleur de Lis! Maybe my confession made things worse for him! Ooooh… What do I do?

She spent so much time worrying about his opinion about her, that she didn’t notice him as he entered again,
“Ah… Much better! Bathroom isn’t occupied anymore! Twilight?” With a yelp, she jumped up and almost landed off the bed. “Hey, calm down! I’m the one who should be nervous, remember?”

“Yeah… But I wonder if I was mare enough for you.”

His brows arched,
“Mare enough?” As he sat down again on the bed, he raised her chin with his fingers. “Twilight… You are my friend and you were my first mare in Equestria. Believe me, I can’t judge you due to lack of experience with this. It was great from what I know, maybe we could do it again someday when you’re clear. Maybe it’s just me, but the sight of you reduced to a mare just taking it was a bit too intense, but perhaps you can shed light on this. What was it for you?”

Remembering the feelings again made Twilight blush as deep as a tomato,
“I… I think I should take a bath as well!” As she galloped into the bathroom, Tyler chuckled and laid down on the guest bed. It sure was comfy, he yawned for a bit. In her bathtub, Twilight emerged from a big mountain of bubbles. No, I can’t tell him it felt wonderful! He might think I want to urge him into this. She thought with a blush. Diving into the foam and the hot water, she thought of other things.

Keep it together, Twilight… You just did it with him once. Once! And you already asked much from him with this… How could you say that you’d like to be his girl that easily? What if you scared him away with this? You are lucky it was him! Any other might have impregnated you. Your friendship with your newest research partner is perfectly safe and will stay safe. You just need to keep it together. With that she emerged again, gasping air. “KEEP! IT! TOGETHER!”

Jumping out of the tub, she performed a spell taking out the water from both coat and mane. After combing her mane back to order, she returned to her bedroom,
“Tyler, if you still want to-” A quiet snoring interrupted her as she approached the beds. “…talk…” Tyler was already on the bed, only in shorts and was already slightly asleep. With a sigh, she put a smile on her face and went to her bed as well. Later that night, Twilight woke up as Tyler stood up and went to the bathroom. She had already closed her eyes once again, before his steps came back upstairs. What she didn’t expect was the fact that he laid down in her bed. Her eyes went wide open. Lying behind her, he laid an arm around her and softly pulled her in. As she was lying in his embrace, she could hear a fine and silent snore. She felt so silly for worrying earlier. She nuzzled his arm a bit before she closed her eyes with a smile. We’re more than friends now… She thought. And if all of Equestria is against us, I don’t care…

* * * * *

The next day Tyler woke up besides Twilight and gasped a little, until he remembered the last night. His surprised look changed into a warm smile and he caressed her cheek gently while she was still sleeping. Slowly Twilight opened her eyes, as she felt his gentle touch on her. With a sleepy smile she turned her face to him,
“Good morning…”

“Hey there, sunshine… Feeling better?”

With a slight nod she closed her eyes halfway,
“Thanks to you, Tyler… I guess I showed you a very intimate side of me. Are you mad at me for it?”

Tyler slowly shook his head,
“I probably wouldn’t have done it with any other mare, in a way, you’re special to me.”

After they shared a kiss, Twilight got out of bed,
“Spike will come later; you might dress yourself up again, Casanova…”

Giving her a gentle spank on the flank, he went to his bed and dressed up. The spank caused Twilight to giggle mischievously,
“Rawr… I’ll prepare breakfast, do you want eggs?”

“One, please!”

As Spike entered the library again, he was in a mixed mood,
“Twilight, do I really have to come here during the day when I can spend three days over at Rarity’s?” Twilight, meanwhile in the kitchen, hummed happily and prepared the food. “Everything alright, Twilight? You behave like you tested three new spells!”

“♫Everything as always Spike… Why?♫” she chirped in response.

The little baby dragon scratched his head,
“I don’t know… You’re way happier than before…”

Twilight then got the fried egg on a plate and looked to Spike,
“But of course! It is a sunny and wonderful day out in Equestria, and I’m having a wonderful day with my number one assistant and Tyler!” All the sugar driven felicity prompted the baby dragon to point a claw into his mouth.

As he sat at the table next to Tyler, he leaned in and held a claw in front of his mouth,
“Yo! You were here all the time… What happened?”

Tyler chuckled and winked at Twilight,
“Why, Spike? A healthy young mare can be happy for no good reason, can she not?”

Twilight giggled in a flattered manner,
“Oh, boys…”

Tyler leaned now to Spike and lowered his voice,
“By the way, champ… How are things with Rarity?”

Nudging the baby dragon gently with the elbow caused the wished effect and he forgot about Twilight,
“Well, I helped her out last evening with her new dress!”

Tyler nodded with a smile,
“Keep at it, champ! You do something for a girl and she’ll see the good will in it sooner or later.

After the breakfast, he went to the door,
“Well, I have to go to work.”

Twilight went to the door and smiled up to him,
“Tell AJ ‘hello’ for me, Tyler!” He nodded and opened the door,only to see a few pegasi kicking on Trixie’s wagon and giving the showmare a hard time. With a grim look on his face, Tyler approached the scene.

As they beat Trixie up, Tyler stepped in and pulled them away,
“Hey!!! Leave her alone!”

When they recognized who yelled at them, they stopped in an instant,
“What? But Tyler! She’s responsible that you are here!”

This truly ticked him off and he frowned upon this sentence,
“You make it sound like it’s a bad thing! Am I not welcome here?”

Upon realizing what she just said, the Pegasus mare shook her head in a panic, raising her hooves in defense,
“Oh! Um… Sorry, I didn’t mean to-”

“Yeah, I know. However, not only am I mad about this because you guys scold her, but that this is MY thing, being I’m stranded in a foreign environment. No, I can’t accept the way you do it as well! Several of you against her alone? What has gotten into you? She said she would make a Rainbow Gem with Rainbow’s help, which she did, didn’t she? While she thought she had a simple transformation spell, she opened a dimensional portal! Now that’s magic! Yet all you can accuse her of is negligence for using a spell not fully understood!”

The pegasi now lowered their heads,
“Yeah… I guess you’re right. We’re sorry…”

“Don’t apologize to me, you guys. Apologize to her!”

The Pegasus mare bit her lip and held her hoof to Trixie,
“I’m… I’m sorry.” With a harsh “Tsk!” the blue unicorn slapped her hoof away.

Tyler shook his head with a deep sigh,
“I think its best you all leave now…”

With lowered heads the ponies left and Tyler approached Trixie,
“Are you OK?”

The blue unicorn got on her hooves and cleaned herself from the dust,
“I guess so… There’s one thing I’ve got to know though: Why just back me up all of a sudden? Risking your reputation for somepony who’s never given anypony anything but trouble?”

Tapping of the dust from her cape, he gave her a smile,
“I know what it’s like to try and rebuild in society from scratch...” He fetched her hat from the ground, patted it clean and held it to her. “I had a bad day, too… once…”

Embarrassed and touched by his gentle behavior despite her previous deeds her horn began to sparkle and she put the hat back up,
“Nice guys like you shouldn’t have bad days…” With a quick move she jumped to her hind legs and gave him a long and passionate kiss and trotted away with her wagon. ”Thanks, stud… I’ll try to be a good girl from now on… Maybe I’ll settle down in Fillydelphia!”

Rainbow Dash began to chuckle behind him,
“Yeah, show her who’s boss, ‘stud’!”

He looked over the shoulder and waved the cerulean Pegasus mare away,
“Eh, what are you looking at?”

As Twilight witnessed what happened, she smiled widely,
“Spike, take a note! This inspired me for a wonderful lesson!”

“Certainly!” But just as the baby dragon wanted to go inside, he belched out a scroll and opened it. “Twilight! These are…” He suddenly lowered his voice. “8 tickets for you know what!”

While Tyler was still in sight, Twilight galloped after him and told him about the tickets. This caused the human to nod briefly,
“There is only one pony in all of Equestria that can help us now, Twilight! A pony with the skill and wit to use her powers… You go get Spike… Then you and me, we go to the Carousel Boutique.”

Shortly after, they both entered the boutique,
“Rarity, I’d like you to make a suit for me.”

The white unicorn nodded for a second, only to rub her chin,
“Are we talking about a standard tuxedo? Elegant black and white attire with shoes and white gloves?”

Tyler shook his head,
“No… I need a suit and a silver mask for the Gala in Canterlot. I will need all your wit, ingenuity, and genius to perform this task. Think you can make me… the vermillion red suit of the phantom of the opera?”

Rarity gasped deeply,
“As in the song ‘Masquerade’ you told me about?” As he scribbled down a design of a fancy suit with a belt, boots, and gloves; Rarity screeched in excitement. “Oh, with your measurements I should be able to do such a thing. My, what a smashing design that is!” Her eyes began to sparkle. “I shall call it ‘phantom dream’!” She then looked up to him. “You, sir, are a muse! Consider it done by the time you’ll need it!”

He nodded,
“I just hope it won’t cost a fortune to pay.”

She first cocked her head in wonder,
“Payment?” The elegant unicorn then shook her head with a smile. “Darling! I won’t take money from you! You are my inspiration right now! Without you, I wouldn’t have done my latest three fashion lines!”

His jaw slowly dropped,
“You’ll do this free of charge? My… That’s VERY generous of you! If you ever need help, let me know. I’ll be right there!”

* * * * *

After that he hurried to Sweet Apple Acres. He arrived just in time as Applejack was on her way to the orchards,
“Wait up!”

“Oh! Hi there, pardner! Good to see yer back in working shape. Must say Ah missed ya on the farm during winter season.”

Pulling her cart now, he smiled,
“Now I’m back. How’s Big Mac?”

She chuckled,
“Yer still worried about him not forgiving ya? Ya tried so hard, ya know. Treats from Sugarcube Corner, ya offered him to beat ya up… And Ah always told ya mah brother forgave ya. He understands quite well ya weren’t yerself when ya beat him up, and that yer sorry. He just wants to go on.”

Tyler nodded with relief on his face,
“Good old Big Mac…”

After some hours, Tyler had took off his shirt as he was sweating from the day’s hard work. While bringing the apples to the barn, Applejack saw all the sweat on his upper body. As the drops of fluid sparkled down his chest, she bit her bottom lip. She herself had been working quite hard and was a little sweaty,
“Say there, pardner… Ya willing to do somethin’ kinky?”

His eyes went to her,
“Kinky? Like what? You send me flying with one hard kick to oblivion?”

With a warm chuckle Applejack took her Stetson and grinned seductively towards Tyler,
“Ya know, Twilight told me about some themes ya both were talking about. Ah liked the stories about the Wild West the most. Reminded me of my family members in Appleloosa! Ya know, hardworking ponies cultivating the land… Do humans really rodeo on horses?”

Now that he understood her intentions, he chuckled in relief,
“Oh this! Yeah, some of us do. Quite popular in some places of North America. Why?”

Her grin became wider,
“Wanna rodeo with me?”

There was a moment of complete and utter silence at the barn before Tyler cocked his head,
“Did you just asked me what I think you did?”

“Maaayyybe… What do ya think ah asked of ya?”

Tyler now began to blush deep like a tomato,
“I guess either way it’s kinky.”

Standing now on her hind legs and putting her Stetson on Tyler’s head she nailed him to the wall of the barn with her front hooves,
“Tyler, ya sitting on mah back and me tryin’ to shake ya off sure would make a fine competition of agility and strength. Ah know yer as strong as Ah am so this would be interestin’, yet kinky. As for yer other choice…” While looking into his eyes she opened the door right next to him and rubbed her other fore hoof on his chest. “Wanna go into the barn? Ah can teach ya things even Twilight with her books can’t…”

Gulping down a big lump, he chuckled nervously,
“Well, just look at the time! I think I should go…”

As she gave him more room again, she chuckled.
“Ya sure are something, Tyler…” Giving her back her Stetson, he began to hurry a bit. Applejack on the other hand still had her eyes locked on him. “♫Tyler…♫”

Her voice sounded like luring him into her grasp again, prompting him to stand still,
“Uh, yes?”

“Ya know if ya want to come into the barn, Ah’ll be waitin’ for ya… Ah’ll make it worthwhile for ya… We earth ponies can become quite a mess while at it…” As he looked over his shoulder, he could see that her hair wasn’t tied together at the end anymore and that her mane was waving free and wild as she went inside the barn, shaking her flank in a seductive manner.

He forced himself to face forward again and leaving Sweet Apple Acres, puffing a bit to keep his mind clear. Keep the iron will, buddy…You came here to work, not to fuck your employer! Also you have Twilight for this... On his way back to town, he saw Big Macintosh who was carrying stuff before working on the fields,
“Hey there, Big Mac! Busy as always, huh?”

A brief “Eeyup!” was the only response, paired with a proud face.

Tyler smiled and leaned over a fence,
“By the way, I have to ask you out of concern… Did your sister Applejack have her heat season this spring already?”

Now with an arched brow, the hefty red stallion shook his head. “Nnnope!”

Tyler now face palmed himself,
“Yeah, why was I asking in the first place…? Um… Is it always like that? That spring comes and everyone goes crazy?”

Now with rolling eyes and a big grin Big Mac gave a “Eeyup!” prompting Tyler to chuckle.

"I guess you have your share then… So, uh… do you trust your sister? Do you expect her to choose the right male to…uh… ease her?”

The red stallion now hesitated, looking like thinking for a bit until he nodded,
“Mah sister’s a grown mare and Ah trust her to do the right thing. If yer part of that, Ah’ll have a word with her to be sure and accept her will.”

Tyler’s eyes were big as plates as he looked to the red stallion in awe,
“Did you just…?”

Right after a wholehearted chuckle, Big Mac muttered “Eeyup!”

* * * * *

Leaving the Apple family and their acres behind him, Tyler then entered the library again, as he was having an appointment with himself there. Just as he promised to Princess Celestia he meditated upon his inner nature, along with his role in this land on the balcony. His mind seemed to be in conflict at various topics

I know I mustn’t interfere with their advancement…
And yet I could do so much more for their benefit.

Equestria’s people are young and innocent…
You have fled to a new world!
Where wise rulers abolished war among another a long time ago!
With your wisdom you cannot allow them to repeat the same follies as mankind.

I know that opinions give birth to conflict!
I could guide them to a better future with the good achievements of mankind!
Not all of our achievements can be used for ill!

Your fate here is not that of a torch, to give them light and accidentally burn them.
But that of a shield to defend the weak, the defenseless, and the needful.
But while doing so, you must take care of how they see you…
If you teach them to entrust their fate into one being alone…
Even yourself… you’re teaching them to be betrayed…

As he awoke out of his trance, his eyes opened wide. Betrayed…

Tyler then went into the park and sat down on the grass. As he looked around, he could see some ponies playing around or minding their own business. Little did he know that right behind him a pink shadow approached his place. The sudden feeling of being watched grew in him, but as he noticed something in the corner of his eye, he turned his head over the left shoulder, only to find nothing. Thinking for a moment, he suddenly turned his head over the right shoulder. Still there was no one in sight.

Feeling a little bit uneasy, he turned forward. Shaking off the thought, he minded his own business until he felt the weight of hooves on his shoulders and the weight of a pony head on his own. “Hello, Pinkie Pie…” He muttered under his breath with narrowed eyes.

With wide eyes, the pink earth pony eyed him thoroughly,
“Oooohh, you’re good! How is spring treating you?”

Sitting down next to him she looked up to him,
“I’m OK, Pinkie… Just adjusting to the fact that everypony around me is acting strange.”

“Oooohhh… Is it a funny kind of strange? Or is it an eeeevil kind of strange? Maybe we could-“

He laid his index finger on her lips to stop the babbling in an instant,
“It is fine, Pinkie. I wasn’t expecting some of the ponies to have such… strong sexual desires during heat season.”

Now her eyes widened,
“Oh this? No problem! I can handle it!”

This response made Tyler frown for a second,
“You are in heat?”

“Uh-huh!”

“But, Pinkie! You don’t act any different!”

This prompted the pink earth pony to roll her eyes,
“Do I have to? Duh! Sex with somepony can be really fun, if you like that pony very much. Also, I like to make my friends smile, not frown.”

This made Tyler facepalm,
“Bless all forms of intelligence… Even the Pinkie Pie ones…”

* * * * *

As the next day began, there was an early knocking on the library door. Tyler went down to open the door,
“Just a minute!”

As he opened the door, Derpy Hooves stood in front of him,
“That here the Ponyville library?”

Tyler looked over his shoulder,
“Plenty of books in shelves? Plenty of shelves in one big room? Sure! This is the library!”

Derpy chuckled and made a check on her list,
“Are you Tyler Jones?”

He frowned, yet smiled at the gray mailmare,
“Come on, Derpy, you remember me! I’m the only human on the planet!”

“Oops! My bad! There’s a big delivery for you today!” A large container was brought to the door and Tyler's eyes widened. What in the world? “Alright guys! Unload!”

Tyler’s eyes went wide open as the letters buried him under them,
”Whoa!”

Awakened by the sudden commotion from downstairs, Twilight came down, still sleepy in her eyes,
“Tyler? What happened? Is there an Ursa again?”

Only one arm was visible as Tyler tried to get out,
“Twilight! Help! A… a mail-slide!”

As her eyes widened, she couldn’t help but giggle at the situation,
“My! So many letters? What’s going on here?” levitating the letters aside, Twilight helped her friend to get out of the mountain of letters. “So… What are these?”

Tyler took a letter and opened it,
“Derpy says these are for me. Well, actually there is no address on those envelopes. Did Derpy make some sort of mistake?”

“Unlikely for her to mess up THAT big… So… what’s the letter about?”

Tyler read it swiftly as his eyes widened,
“It’s a love letter!” He put the letter away to open the next one. “Another love letter!” As he opened three more letters, he shook his head. “These are ALL love letters! What in the world? Did every mare on the street who is single write me about her feelings?”

Twilight gasped as she read another one,
“I’ve met this mare before! She lives on the other side of Ponyville! This isn’t mail from this street… It’s from all of Ponyville!” The library was suddenly very quiet as the silence was utterly broken with a loud THUMP! Hastily Twilight ran over to her friend, who was lying on the floor now, slapping his cheeks. “Tyler! Tyler, come on! Pull yourself together!” With a loud annoyed “AAAAHHH!” she galloped into the kitchen! “Spike!!!” A few moments later, she came back with a bucket of water. “SPIKE!!! Come here, I need your help!”

The tired little dragon strolled downstairs,
“What is it, Twilight?”

Pouring the water over Tyler, prompted him to wake up,
“What the hell?”

* * * * *

Half an hour later the Mane Six were gathered in the library while Tyler looked at the big pile of letters,
“This can’t be happening, man… This can’t be fucking happening! My life during spring in Ponyville is officially over! Spike, go fetch my stuff! I’ll migrate to the Everfree Forest until its summer…”

As the baby dragon went along, Rainbow Dash stepped on his tail to hold him in place, looking at Tyler,
“No, you’re not! The Everfree Forest is unfit to live in without proper shelter! With all the stuff in there, there’s no chance you’d survive a week! What you need, T-man, is a herd!”

Rarity nodded,
“You are an excellent gentlecolt! Any mare would be most overjoyed if you would let her court you.”

This prompted Tyler to cock his head,
“Court me?” Pointing to the mountain of letters he looked to the white unicorn. “And what do you think THAT is? As far as I remember, the males are to court the females! I mean I accepted all of this pony stuff only because I didn't give a damn. I mean it doesn't happen all that often that you land on a freaking alien planet with ponies! I mean what else to think?!? That I went batshit crazy and went from normal life balls deep into Lala-Land? Alien planet, that was always my justification for anything happening to me here. That's how I rolled. But now? A community of females literally throwing themselves at me? Not only is this unnormal to me, but it's completely upside down! Men do the courting!”

Rarity gasped with wide eyes,
“Now, darling! Something like that would sooth and flatter a mare beyond imagination of course, but with so many mares around, she is the one to make him understand that she is the one among thousands.”

Tyler looked up,
“Or among billions…”

“Ya know there, Sugarcube… Ah’ll… Ah mean…” Shaking her head vigorously, the orange earth pony pointed her hoof towards Tyler with a big blush. “Shoot! Fine! Ah say it! From what Ah saw, yer a mighty fine stallion in mah book and Ah won’t lie to ya! Ah wouldn’t have been angry at ya if ya would have taken yer chance over at the barn! Ah mean, here we stand, talkin’ to ya about a herd, and ya go and say it’s the wrong way. That in yer own place the girls deserve higher treatment. No wonder every mare is after yer flank! Even Granny Smith said Ah should stick with ya!”

This caused Rainbow Dash to chuckle in a sly manner,
“The barn? So you tried to seduce the T-man with an invitation to the barn?”

By then the orange mare gave Rainbow a grim look,
“So what? At least Ah have the guts to do that! Ya know Ah’m not into cloppin’ to playmare magazines! And Ah say he was at least thinkin’ about it!” Stabbing Rainbow’s chest with her hoof, she continued. “If he wouldn’t be such a fine pardner to begin with, he would surely be mah herd mate right now! And Ah would make him happy, ya know! Because Ah love that big feller!” In an instant the library was filled with silence as the rest of the girls gazed upon their friend as Applejack sighed and bowed her head. “Fine… Now ya know…”

Tyler harrumphed and closed his eyes,
“It will remain in the library: Applejack, Twilight and myself! Everybody else: Leave!”

Rainbow arched a brow and spread her hooves,
“Tyler! What gives?”

Giving her a stern look for a second, he stood up,
“Come on, RD… This is a discussion you don’t have to partake in. But you will see the results, I promise.”

As he closed the door behind her, Rainbow looked to the other three mares,
“What do you think of it?”

Fluttershy took a peek inside as they were sitting at a table and talking to each other,
“M-maybe it upset him and he doesn’t want to have a special somepony like her.”

With a brief shake of the head, Rainbow looked inside as well,
“Well, that doesn’t explain why Twilight is in there too!”

Rarity intervened,
“Darling! He lives with Twilight for so long… Of course she’s in there because she can recall any facts and laws upon this matter as an advisor. I’m sure he will hear Applejack out and decide what’s the best thing to do in this situation.”

Pinkie Pie turned to Spike,
“Well? What do you think? Think it’s time for a merry couple party anytime soon?”

Spike frowned a bit,
“Actually, Twilight behaved sort of strange since my sleepover at Rarity…”

“Strange?” The girls said in unison, as their eyes turned to the little baby dragon.

“Well… yeah… You know… She seemed a bit happier when Tyler was around. Beaming and smiling all the while.”

Rarity gasped and stepped a few steps from the window away,
“No! She… She didn’t!” Looking now at the white unicorn the girls each arched a brow.

It was then when Rainbow Dash smiled in a sly manner,
“Come on, Rarity… I think you know something…”

“I… I know nothing!”

With a chuckle, Rainbow approached her,
“Don’t force me to unleash Pinkie Pie on you… Because you know I would…”

Sighing deeply, she gestured the girls to come closer. As they put their heads together, the white unicorn began to whisper.

Soon after that, Fluttershy spoke up,
“Oohh… How thoughtful of her to think about Spike like that.” Seconds after that, the girls slowly raised their heads, with Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Rainbow having widened eyes.

“No bucking way… The book worm? You think Miss Egghead pulled off that stunt?” Rainbow muttered.

Fluttershy blushed deeply,
“Ohhh… I wish I could be so… you know… assertive!”

Applejack meanwhile confessed herself to Tyler. As she finished, Tyler and Twilight shared a look before Tyler cleared his throat,
“Well… Actually you are the second one who confessed to me, Applejack.”

“What? But who?”

Twilight raised her hoof,
“I did. My heat went overboard and I lost my mind, jumping at Tyler. But it turned out quite good. Didn’t it, Tyler?” Tyler gave her a slight frown, she had promised to keep it between them. But since Applejack had a similar problem it wasn’t that bad and he nodded.

“Now Ah see…” Applejack muttered. “Ya already have a special somepony… And there I was giving ya a hard time…”

Tyler chuckled,
“More like a hard-on…”

With that, the earth pony looked up puzzled,
“Huh? But when Ah invited ya to the barn, ya didn’t come!”

Twilight giggled,
“That’s because in his world, there are almost purely monogamous relationships, AJ. He didn’t want to buck you on my behalf I guess.”

Tyler blushed a bit,
“Truth be told, I saw how miserable Twilight felt for seducing me that aggressively, so I thought it was best to calm her down before she jumped at me in the night. You, on the other hand, seemed to have enough self-control to stop at any time. Also, like Twilight said… If you are taught your entire life to think high of monogamy, herd-behavior is something… strange.”

Twilight leaned in,
“Say… Big guy… Since I was your first mare… And AJ is interested in you as well… How about we three begin a herd?”

This caused him to arch back a little,
“You… You mean…”

“Sure! Applejack is one of my closest friends. And we love the same stallion… uh… man. Why not courting you together?”

Applejack came over to Twilight,
“If Twilight is part of mah herd, Ah won’t mind. Ah want to be with y’all, Tyler…”

Tyler gulped and took a breath, before he leaned on the table, holding his head,
“Two girlfriends at the same time? That means big trouble on Earth…”

Twilight gave him a moderate nudge with her hoof,
“This isn’t Earth, this is Equestria! It’s fine and welcome here. Also, remember your labor number five…”

Tyler rolled his eyes,
“Ugh…’…Learn the ways of Equestria so that every citizen shall see you as a shining example…’ Yes, I know… I just didn’t expect this to be that hard.”

Both girls came around the table and nuzzled him from both sides,
“It’s alright, sugarcube…”

“We’ll help you to get used to it.”

With that Rainbow opened the door with a kick,
“Ah-HA! See? They are… cuddling each other!"

Fluttershy leaned in at the doorsill,
“Um… Rainbow… That’s not so bad…”

Trotting over to the three, the cerulean Pegasus gave the situation a stern look before hovering before Tyler,
“Come on, T-man! Spill the beans! What’s going on here? Who bucked up and how hard? If anypony gives you a hard time, I’ll take care of that! I-”

Holding her mouth shut tight, Tyler grabbed her and pulled her down gently,
“Ease down, RD! No one’s giving me a hard time! None of you!”

Twilight harrumphed and held a hoof to her chest,
“We have an announcement to make! The situation has been discussed and cleared.” As their friends came in, the three of them looked at each other and Applejack nodded to Twilight. Tyler nodded as well, yet he seemed unsure. “As of today, Tyler, Applejack and myself are a herd!”

Fluttershy beamed,
“Oh! That’s so wonderful! I’m so happy for you three!”

Rarity gasped and held a hoof to her chest,
“My…I must say this is wonderful indeed. I envy you both, girls. Such a refined young gentlecolt could suit any mare, don’t you think so, Pinkie?”

Pinkie Pie stood absolutely still, gazing with wide eyes upon the three herd mates. Suddenly, a wide grin and some glossy puppy eyes defined her face,
“I don’t have enough cake for this…” With this she turned into a cloud.

Rarity’s eyes widened. As her hoof waved through the cloud, Pinkie was already gone,
“My… I never saw her THAT excited before…”

Tyler shook his head,
“I sense an upcoming storm of party and cake…”

As he caressed both Twilight’s and Applejack‘s manes, Tyler’s anxiety slowly vanished. This sort of relationship truly was accepted in society. With time, he would adapt to this as well. Applejack gave him a seductive bump with her rump,
“Waddya say there, pardner? Come with me to the farm n’ inform the family?” As she slowly trotted out of the door, Tyler gazed to the others.

Twilight gave him a nudge with the hoof,
“Go on!”

Rainbow nodded,
“Come on! Go for it, T-man!”

Rarity raised her head,
“Don’t let a lady wait!” Fluttershy remained silent, but pointed towards the door with a blushing face.

Going backwards to the door, Tyler looked to Twilight,
“But what about…?”

Twilight shook her head,
“I’m fine with it! Sharing you with her is my part of being member of our herd!” With that a lasso took Tyler and pulled him out of the library. Claiming her prize the orange earth pony reeled him in with a chuckle, causing him to laugh. As they both stood in the sunset, Applejack stood up to her hind legs; he took off her Stetson and put it on his own head as her front hooves rested on his chest.

As she leaned forward, they shared a kiss, with the girls standing in front of the library. “You know, Twilight…” Rainbow began. “I always thought you were an egghead… But I only caught the guy in midair. You and AJ caught his heart; that’s way cooler.”
