Clare, Los Pegasus:

Our vacation had hit the midway point and I had this feeling that when it was over it would feel like it went to fast. I shuffled over and snuggled up tightly to Luna’s body. Last night had been amazing and her very presence made me feel amazing.

“Mmm, you’re feeling a little affectionate aren’t you” she whispered as she awoke from her sleep. I nodded as I nuzzled my face into her silky mane. “Mmm… Clare I love it when you’re like this in the mornings” she giggled as I began to kiss her neck.

She gasped as my kisses turned into a steady wet lick and I trailed my tongue down her body very slowly.

As I reached her belly there was a loud knock at the front door. ‘Go away’ I thought to myself as I continued to lick her body but then whoever was at the door knocked again. I looked to my watch, it was 6:30 in the morning couldn’t they just leave us alone. A knock banged against the door again. ‘Guess not’ I thought to myself as I began to lick her vagina, it had a sweet taste to it.

“Should we ah… should we answer the ohh… the door” Luna asked through moans of pleasure as my tongue licked the inside of her vagina and my fingers caressed her clitoris. “Nah, they’ll go away. Probably Christian solicitors” I said, my voice muffled by her pussy.

The knocking continued and there was no way I was gonna just ignore it if they continued. I pulled my mouth away from her tasty pussy and rolled my eyes. “I’ll be back… just uhm… hold that pose right there” I said, her hindlegs were spread apart and here pussy was in plain view. I had this feeling I was going to lose my boner when I was talking to the ponies at the door so I needed a little encouragement when I got back.

Luna gave me a wink as I walked over to the door and the knocking continued. “Yeah, yeah. I’m coming… don’t get you panties in a wad” I mumbled. I opened the door and was greeted by two stallions dressed in military dress uniforms. I groaned to myself ‘What the fuck do they want?’ I thought to myself.

“Sergeant Clare?” one of the stallions asked. “No, Santa Claus” I replied jokingly but with an irritated tone. “Right, listen your vacation needs to be cut short. Pack up your things and get ready, the chopper is waiting” one of the stallions ordered me. “What? Why?” I asked but they didn’t answer my question.

“Everything will be explained on the flight back to Canterlot, now please hurry. We’re on a schedule” the other stallion said and they both turned and walked over to a helicopter parked on the beach. ‘Wait, why hadn’t I heard them land?’ I thought to myself but then shrugged off the thought and walked back inside.

I walked back into the bedroom where Luna laid waiting for me. “Luna… we have to go” I said depressingly and she shot me a curious look. “What? Why?” she asked and I shrugged. “Apparently… I don’t know, some suits say we have to leave and get on a chopper back to Canterlot” I informed her as I grabbed my bag.

She went to argue but must’ve seen that my face was depressed and obviously as clueless as she was. We quickly packed up our things, Luna dressed in the leather clothes she had been wearing for most of the vacation and we walked out of the house. I gave Los Pegasus one last final look before embarking on the helicopter.

Celestia, Canterlot:

“Ma’am” said one of my royal guards. “Report” I ordered him and he nodded. “The helicopter picked up both your sister and Sergeant Clare at 6:30 this morning. They were scheduled to land in Canterlot by 4 o’clock this afternoon but made an unexpected stop in Coltorado” the guard informed me.

Sgt. Clare, Coltorado, Fast food restaurant:

We had parked the helicopter outside a fast food restaurant and ordered some food. Despite getting off to a rocky start, due to them informing me of my orders to return to Canterlot which ruined our vacation, we had become friends.

“Hey pilot, thanks for stopping man. I was starved” I called out to the pilot who nodded as he drank from a soda cup. Jenkins, one of the soldiers, was eating an ice-cream cup. “Hey Jenkins, you got some ice-cream on your uniform” I told him, he looked down to his suit.

“Guh… where?” he asked frantically, not wanting to stain his outfit. I extended my finger and pointed to a spot on his chest. He followed my finger but as he did I flicked my finger up and caught his nose.

I started chuckling and the others laughed. “I have this feeling that Celestia wouldn’t approve of us eating fast food” said Hendrickson, the other soldier. “Who cares, unless you guys tell her then there’s no way she’ll really find out… unless she’s watching us right now” I laughed.

After we ate the chopper pilot flew us the rest of the way to Canterlot. We arrived near Canterlot at about 4:45pm. I walked over to a window and looked out to the city below. I held my fist like I was talking into a microphone.

“This is Major Tom to ground control, I’m stepping through the Dooorr. And I’m floating in a most peculiar wayyy and the stars look very different todayyyyy” I said, imitating the lyrics of Major Tom. Hendrickson smiled “For hearrr am I sitting in a tin can” he began and we did a musical duet, quite terribly. “Farrrrrrr above the worrrrrrrld. Planet Earth is blue and there’s nothing I can dooooooo” we both sang then the pilot made the noises of the guitar solo.

We all began to sing and it sounded pretty bad but we didn’t have a care in the world. The chopper landed on the helipad behind the Canterlot castle. Luna and I stepped out of the chopper along with the two soldiers who had accompanied us.

Captain Shining Armor rushed out to meet us. “Sergeant, come with me. We need to meet with Celestia in the war room ASAP” Shining yelled over the sound of the helicopter rotors. I nodded and we followed him into the war room but the two soldiers departed to go their separate ways.

We quickly entered the war room where Celestia stood with some paper. I threw a quick salute then stood in attention. “Just back and already in the mind pre-set to salute your officers. That’s good sergeant” Celestia commented and I stood in attention. “I’m sure you know about The Apache” Celestia said and I nodded. “Yes ma’am” I replied.

“Well it just so happened that’s she’s raining havoc on the firebases all across the Everfree… tell me sergeant do you have any sort of marksmanship training?” she asked and I nodded. “Yes ma’am, I do ma’am. I spent a month in Afghanistan as a sniper then was transferred back to basic infantry” I replied.

“Excellent. Captain, would you mind briefing him” Celestia said and Shining gave her a nod. “Listen, The Apache has been raining hell on our men so we need to stop her. Orders are to go in and take her out then we hop back to a firebase” he informed me. My face frowned. “What do you mean, we?” I asked and he smiled. “Well I’m going with yah Sarge, can’t have yah disobeying orders now can we” he said.

I turned my look to Celestia. “No” Luna said, we all looked to her in shock. “WHAT?” we all asked in chorus. “That’s suicide, I won’t have one of my soldiers get put out like that” Luna replied. “I’ll do it” I said and Luna gasped at my comment then quickly left the room before tears came to her eyes.

“You have an hour sergeant, get to the armoury and get yourself a rifle… oh and sergeant, you’ve been promoted. Congratulations on making Sergeant Major” Celestia said. I nodded then left casually.

As soon as I left the war room I looked and saw Luna galloping away. I rushed after her but she already had a lead on me so I wasn’t able to catch up with her until we were in the Canterlot garden.

“Luna wait” I called. “Just shut up Clare, I don’t want to talk to you” she sobbed but I grabbed her and spun her around. “You said you never wanted to leave me… said you wanted to stay with me until you died… so how could you accept that suicide mission” she sobbed.

“Two reasons. One: I can’t just go defying every order that Celestia gives me because she’ll end up catching on and two: The Apache will keep killing until she is stopped. I might be the only one who can stop her so I couldn’t live with myself if I just sat back and watched” I informed her.

She cried into my chest and I felt like a real asshole but in reality it was true. I might have been the only one who could do this and if I kept refusing orders Celestia would probably catch on.

“Please… promise me you’ll come back” she begged me and I looked into her teary eyes. “I can’t promise anything but I swear on my life I won’t go sticking my neck out for nothing. I don’t plan on dying any time soon” I told her.

She kissed me passionately and pushed me onto my back. She quickly began to undress me as we kissed.

One hour later:

Sgt. Clare, helicopter en route to Firebase Bravo:

I checked the 10x scope on my Model 70 Winchester, chambered for .300 Winchester Magnum. I knew that my Thompson would be no use in a sniper battle but I still needed a close quarters weapon. And that’s why I had a Mossberg 500 tactical, no stock with pistol grip and shortened barrel, strapped to my leg in a leg holster meant exactly for the gun. I also carried an M1911 in a hip holster and my behemoth 500 S&W revolver in the shoulder holster.

Captain Shining Armor had taken along an M16A4 with a small 4x magnification scope attached where the carry handle would usually be placed. “If she’s pregnant Celestia is gonna rip your nuts off when she starts to show” Shining Armor told me quietly so that the pilot wouldn’t hear. “When who starts to show what?” I asked acting like I didn’t know what he was talking about.

“Luna… I saw you two making love in the garden. It doesn’t surprise me that you wouldn’t use a condom and would finish inside” he said and I rolled my eyes. “Don’t tell no-pony” I said and he nodded. I leaned forwards, “She’s already pregnant, she cast a spell on herself the first time we had sex” I told him and he sighed. “Celestia is gonna flip… you know that right? You realize that you just got her younger sister pregnant and that you’re just a simple Sergeant Major right?” he asked and I nodded.

“Well how bout you? You shouldn’t be coming with me. Your wife is eight months pregnant and due to give birth soon” I countered and he nodded. “Well I have my orders” he said. “Tell me something, how did Celestia react when she found out you got her niece pregnant?” I asked and he looked to me with a raised eyebrow.

“She didn’t mind that much because I was Captain and second in command of the royal guard” he replied. I rolled my eyes “She didn’t freak out?” I asked. “Not when she found out she was pregnant… but she did freak out and wanted to rip off my head when we first started dating” he informed me. I leaned my head back against the seat and chuckled to myself “This day gets better by the minute”.
