  "writing": "“Twilight,” called Spike as he knocked on the castle’s front door. “Your number one of assistant and prince of the Dragon Lands is here to babysit.\n\n“Coming,” she called to him and opened the door. “It’s good to see you. It’s been ages since you’ve been over.”\n\n“Great seeing you too,” he replied. “But why is it you needed me to come all the way over here to babysit again? What about Starlight?”\n\n“She went off the the Crystal Empire to visit Sunburst,” she explained. “And after that, I got word from Prometheus that he wanted to come over and see me.”\n\n“Oh, good ole Prometheus is coming here,” smiled Spike before asking the obvious. “Uh, who’s Prometheus?”\n\n“He’s the dragon I met at the mating,” blushed Twilight, meaning he is Nova Flare’s father. I was keeping in touch with him ever since. He had a lot of questions about ponies and I had a number of things I wanted to ask him about too. And just the other day he wanted to know if he could visit me. I guess you could say we’re going to be dating.”\n\n“Dating?” asked Spike looking quite skeptical. “I know I’ve been away awhile, but is that some new scientific slang for collecting data?”\n\n“I’ve missed your snark,” she smiled at him. “But we’re really dating and I was hoping you’d take care of Nova Flare and Blue Moon for the day. I’m sure they want to spend some time with their Uncle Spike.”\n\n“I’d be happy too,” he answered. “Ember is with Blaze at the park so I’m sure they’ll be more than happy to play together. So, where are they right now?”\n\n“Playing in the nursery,” she told him and they proceeded over there.\n\n“Mine!” cried Nova as she tugged at an old green blanket.\n\n“Mine!” argued Blue as she tugged back.\n\n“Mine!” they both pouted not wanting to share.\n\nSeeing this Twilight turned pale and ran to intervene. “That’s a no-no you two,” she told them taking the blanket away. “You two have to get along and share. We don’t want one of you to end up banishing the other somewhere like your Auntie Celestia and Luna now.”\n\n“Blaze has gotten into that ‘mine’ phase too,” replied Spike. “Though, that’s a phase some greedy dragons never grow out of. Luckily for you I was never like that.” It was then that Spike recognized the blanket Twilight had taken away as the one he had when he was a baby dragon. “You gave them my blankey,” he cried. “But that’s mine.”\n\n“Looks like someone hasn’t fully gotten out of their ‘mine’ phase,” joked Twilight as she magically folded up the blanket and put it away.\n\n“What can I say?” Spike replied as he helped Twilight gather the babys’ things to get them ready for the park. “That blanket and I had been through a lot together. So many wonderful naps.”\n\n\nStarlight rushed through the Crystal Empire, passing by the Crystal Heart and the giant statue of Great and Honorable, Spike the Brave and Glorious without so much as averting her eyes to gaze at them. She barely paid any of the Crystal Ponies any mind either as she dashed on by, her heart racing and not merely from running since she got off the train.\n\n“Sunburst had something really important he wanted to tell me,” she panted. “Could it be… is he finally going to pop the question?” Reaching his door, she stopped and froze. “But what if this isn’t what he asked me out here for? He often gets excited for the most arbitrary of things so perhaps this is just him sharing so of his new research with me. Perhaps I’m getting my hopes up for nothing.” She sat down in front of his store suddenly in a stupor. “I just wish I could tell him, but not after what happened with our parents.” Sighing, she waited till she managed to collect herself again and knocked on the door. “Sunburst! I’m here!”\n\nThere was no answer as she waited several minutes. When she knocked and called again there was still no response. Trying the door, she found it was unlocked. Peeking inside, she saw the lights were on and it was every bit as messy as it had been with books stacked on other books, balls of crumpled up scrolls on the ground around an already overstuffed trash bin, and plenty of old broken quills scattered about. There was even something that Starlight saw on his desk that made Starlight turn green and want to gag. With how it looked and smelled, it was either some mystical mushrooms from some forsaken corner of Equestria or Sunburst’s lunch from a couple weeks ago that he had long since forgotten about. Starlight figured it was likely both.\n\n“Sunburst!” she called once more. “Are you home?”\n\n“Oh! Starlight!” Sunburst called to her from the other room. “I wasn’t expecting you so soon. I’m so glad you came. I’m over in my room.”\n\n“Usually he’s got his face glued to a book whenever I come over,” thought Starlight. “I wonder what he’s up to.” Hurrying to his room, Starlight suddenly found herself quite eager again. She walked through the door and saw Sunburst. “Sunburst, I- Sweet Celestia!?!” The sight before Starlight was something she had never expected to see. Sunburst was sitting on his bed beside a dragon with orange scales and a fiery, red spikes running down his back. He even had a scruffy-looking beard like Sunburst’s. Just looking at him, he appeared like the dragon version of Sunburst, but that wasn’t what filled Starlight with so much shock. What did was that the two of them were rubbing their dicks with the tips aimed into beakers. Already, it looked like they had both managed to empty one load into it, the dragon’s beaker filled by a fair amount more. Even as they warmed up for a second release, the dragon’s dick was leaking more pre than Sunburst was.\n\n“Is something wrong, Starlight?” asked a clueless Sunburst.\n\n“You don’t think this is wrong?” she snapped at him. “You invite me over and this is what you are doing? I don’t even know what you are doing!”\n\n“Collecting data,” he explained. “Well, cum, but it’s for important research.”\n\n“If it were any other pony I’d seriously doubt that,” she admitted bluntly, that one statement somehow helping her cope with what she was witnessing. “Care to add in some context for those of us who just walked in?”\n\n“Well, I was reading up on that report that Twilight wrote during the dragon mating,” he explained. “And it got me intrigued to do my own research into seeing the sexual behaviors of dragons outside of their mating season. I figured I’d do a comparison too, to investigate the similarities and difference between ponies and dragons. Already, I’m collecting quite a lot of data.”\n\n“I can see that,” replied Starlight, looking at the beaker floating by his crotch with his seed in it. “And you invited me over during your vital research because…”\n\n“I needed a mare to help with my research and there was nopony better for the task than you,” he explained. “Since you have had relations with this dragon before, I know for certain that you both must have some chemistry together.”\n\n“I have?” she asked before taking another look at the dragon and with the shock of seeing them cumming into beakers well behind her, she recognized him. “Y-You’re that dragon from the mating season. Uh, Apollo, right?”\n\n“It’s been a while,” he greeted her with a wave from his free hand. “I heard you, uh, we had a daughter.”\n\n“Yeah,” she nodded. “Blue Moon. She’s back home in Ponyville.”\n\n“Maybe I could stop by and visit her sometime,” he asked her.\n\n“If you want,” nodded Starlight. She could hear a quill scratching on parchment as Sunburst was writing stuff down. He stopped writting shortly after she stopped talking. “She’s already gotten so big and even talking a little bit.” She paused from speaking when Sunburst started writing some more.\n\n“Well, next chance I get, I’ll fly right over,” he told her happily.\n\n“I’m sure Blue-” Starlight paused hearing Sunburst write as she spoke. “-will be- -be happy to- see you t- Sunburst! What are you writing?”\n\n“I’m recording your conversation,” he explained. “From what I’ve learned from Apollo here, about seventy percent of dragons remain with their mates after the mating season to raise their offspring. Twenty percent is the mother raises the child on their own and the remaining ten percent is the father acts as a solo caregiver. So far, it seems like the majority of you and your friends have been caring for your children without their fathers, save for Rarity and Spike, but I did hear that Rainbow Dash’s mate-”\n\n“Mates,” corrected Starlight.\n\n“Yeah, they all have come to help her raise her child,” he continued. “So, for whatever reason they are coming, and I believe the others might show up too before long that the same paternal instinct is still working despite having mated with ponies.”\n\n“And so that’s why you had us both come,” figured Starlight. “To see if we’d have this connection?”\n\n“Partly, but you’ve also had a connection with me in the past,” he reminded her.\n\n“In the past being the key phrase here,” she commented. “You were the one who ended it.”\n\n“We both agreed we weren’t ready when our parents brought it up,” he stated. “We weren’t ready for that kind of a commitment.”\n\n“I remember,” she nodded averting her eyes a little. “And all this is purely for the sake of research?”\n\n“Starlight, it’s me,” he chuckled. “The big research nut who writes research papers of research papers. You know me better than anyone, right? We’re friends after all.”\n\n“Right… friends.”\n\n\n“Here we go again, Blaze,” spoke Ember as she held the railing of the spinning wheel at the park. “Hold on tight.” With a steady enough force, Ember tugged the wheel to make it start spinning at a moderate speed. Blaze giggled as she held on tight and enjoyed spinning around.\n\n“M-re… M-ore,” Blaze tried to say, her speech showing bits of improvement with each passing day.\n\n“Like that? Want some more?” Some more giggles and a little nod was all she needed to confirm this and with a bit more strength, Ember spun her daughter faster.\n\n“Look at you!” cheered Ember. “You’re flying super fast!”\n\n“Heheheh,” Blaze giggled. “Ma- Ma- Mama!”\n\nEmber gasped hearing this for the first time from her daughter. “Oh, Blaze!” she cried happily, hopping onto the spinning wheel and lifted her daughter up to hug. “That is wonderful!”\n\n“What’s wonderful?” asked Spike as he pushed Blue and Nova over in their stroller.\n\n“Oh, you just missed it,” Ember told Spike as she carefully got back onto stationary ground and walked over to him. “Ember called me, ‘mama.’”\n\n“She did?” he smiled. “Ugh, and I missed it.”\n\n“Come on, sweetie, say it again,” urged Ember as she tickled Blaze’s belly.\n\n“Sometimes I can’t believe you’re the same dragon warrior I met all those years ago, capable of tossing a dragon twice your size like a ragdoll,” joked Spike.\n\n“I still am,” she reminded him. “And you wouldn’t want to know what I’d do if anyone would lay a claw on our daughter.” The words she spoke with had a very powerful murderous intent behind them that was enough to make Spike’s inner fire turn cold with fear.\n\n“Ma- Mama!” spoke Blaze again, quickly dispelling the terror Ember was exuding, much to Spike’s relief.\n\n“Awe, she said it again,” Ember stated happily and nuzzled her daughter with the greatest of joy.\n\n“That’s awesome,” cheered Spike. “Come on, Blaze. Now say, ‘dada.’”\n\n“Sp… ke… Spoi… ke…” she tried saying. “Sp...oike… Spoike.”\n\n“Sh- She said my name,” cheered Spike jumping for joy. “She said my name.”\n\n“Heheh, she sure did, Spoike,” snickered Ember.\n\n“Well, close enough anyway,” replied Spike. “Now, come on, Blazey. Now say, ‘dada.’”\n\n“Spoike,” she giggled. “Spoike.”\n\n“Sp… oike,” Blue and Nova started to giggle too. “Spoike.”\n\n“Awe, you should be so happy,” chuckled Ember. “They all know your name, Spoike.”\n\n“Come on,” Spike said pleading a bit. “Can’t you try to call me, ‘dada,’ or ‘daddy,’ or even, ‘papa?’”\n\n“Spoike,” she replied reaching out and clutching Spike’s nose.\n\n“Fine,” he conceded. “Spoike it is.”\n\nAfter a taking Blue and Nova out of their stroller and placing all there of the babies onto the spinning wheel, Ember began to gently spin them once more. “So, how was Twilight doing?”\n\n“She was fine,” he answered. “Heh, she was even getting herself ready for a date.”\n\n“A date?” questioned Ember before grumbling. “Please don’t tell me this town is having another festival or something? It has one like every other day.”\n\n“No, this is a date, like in she’s going to spend some special time with someone,” he explained.\n\n“With a book?” she replied sounding unsure. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen Twilight show any interest in any stallions… unless… she isn’t doing something with Starlight, is she?”\n\n“No… at least nothing I’m aware of,” he admitted. “But Starlight isn’t even here, so, that’s a moot point. She’s actually meeting that dragon she got together with during the dragon mating season. Apparently they’ve been keeping in touch and he’s finally come over to visit.”\n\n“I guess I’m just a bit surprised,” she admitted as she gave the spinning wheel another push to keep it going. The three babies were enjoying the ride and a few colts and fillies hopped on for a ride as well. “No offense to Twilight, but she’s always seemed too focused on books and studying to ever even look at anyone else.”\n\n“That’s actually been the case for as long as I can remember and I was pretty much by her side for all my life and most of hers,” Spike told Ember. “She was very terrible with friendship before she was sent to Ponyville, but when it came to her and dates she was even more hopeless. Half the time I think she thought she was doing some one-on-one tutoring and ended up boring her date away. Then there was Flash Sentry, but that road ended before it even began.”\n\n“Sounds like things are going to crash and burn if Twilight is as bad as you say she is,” commented Ember. “I’d actually be curious to take a peek.”\n\n“You can’t!” cried Spike, shocking Ember with his sudden outburst.\n\n“Why not?” she asked curiously.\n\n“Well, when Twilight has dates, you see,” he struggled to find the words to tell her. “And while it isn’t anything dangerous, it tends to get rather cramped after a while when she uses that spell.”\n\n“I’m sorry, but you aren’t making any sense,” Ember told him. “Didn’t you just say that Twilight was hopeless with dates and what’s this about a spell?”\n\n“It’s just what Twilight told me to tell anyone who ever asked her about her dating life,” Spike admitted nervously. “I guess the best way to describe it is that Twilight found out that sex was a great way to relieve stress and she liked doing it… a lot. Of course, she didn’t want want anyone else to know the Princess of Friendship had this side of her and made sure to wipe the memory of most of what happened in bed. She also cast another spell to ensure nobody else could interrupt them either. I’m one of the few who even know about this. That’s why I know it is much safer to be as far away from Twilight as possible when she is going on a date.”\n\n“I’d feel more concerned about it, if it was just about anyone else, but this is Twilight we’re talking about,” Ember stated. “How bad could it be? Also, where did all these little kids come from?”\n\nSpike looked at the spinning wheel and saw that over a dozen other fillies and colts were now on board, holding on to enjoy the ride. “Faster! Faster!” they cheered from the fun they were having.\n\n“Heh, the spinning wheel was always one of my favorites when I was a kid too,” chuckled Spike.\n\n“Then why not have a ride,” insisted Ember as she gave him a little shove to push him onto an empty spot.\n\n“Uh, Ember,” Spike stuttered nervously as he saw her spit on her hands and grab one of the railings tightly. “Remember, there are little kids on this thing.”\n\n“Oh, right,” she agreed, slowing it down to a stop. She helped Blue, Nova, and Blaze off and onto the ground. “Come on everyone. Time for Spoike to have a turn.”\n\n“Spoike! Spoike!” all the little kids giggled.\n\n“Oh, come on!” groaned Spike before Ember spun the wheel with all her might, making it move so fast all that could be seen of the dragon was a purple and green blur. “Whoa!” Everything was spinning around him and the poor dragon was quickly getting dizzy and a bit nauseous as a result. “Ember! Get me off this crazy thing!”\n\n“More! More!” the little kids cheered.\n\n“Looks like you’re outvoted,” Ember chuckled and spun him around some more.\n\n\nIn her library, Twilight was keeping herself busy putting away books back on the shelves. As she did, her ears were eagerly awaiting a knock at the door and every couple of minutes she couldn’t help trotting over to the peek through the peep hole to look as well.\n\n“Oh, I hope he gets here soon,” she worried looking at the clock. “He said he’d get here at noon and that’s fifteen minutes away.”\n\nOn cue with that thought, Twilight heard the knock on the door she had been longing for and dashed over, opening it with magic while she was still running to it. On the other side was a scholarly-looking dragon with cobalt scales over most of his body and sky blue ones on front. His eyes were purple with a pair of black rounded frame glasses over them. He had a pair of short, curved horns atop his temple. He had about three short, white spike running from the crown of his head to the back of it and then more going down his back to just over his waist. His tail was only spiked on it at the end in the shape of star similar to Twilight’s Cutie Mark. Standing at roughly five feet tall, he was hardly as muscular or bulky as most dragons. Even Spike, a few years prior, would have been able to overpower him with brute strength and he had gotten even stronger since then.\n\n“Salutations, Twilight,” he greeted her as she reached the door. “I hope you don’t mind me arriving early.”\n\n“No,” she smiled. “I find it very attractive to arrive the professional fifteen minutes early before the attended appointment.”\n\n“And I thought I was the only one,” he murred as he proceeded into the castle. “So, what did you have in mind for our date? A debate over the most influential period of magic? Maybe a game of Information Hoarding? There was also a organization system I had been working on for shelving books I’ve been meaning to try out.”\n\n“Oh, sweet Celestia! Where have you been all my life you?” Twilight nerded out. “It all sounds so wonderful, but I was actually thinking of something a bit kinkier for us to do. A bit of magical fun in the bedroom.”\n\n“That was my next suggestion,” he replied with an eager grin on his face. “Let’s go to your bedroom then.”\n\n“Follow me,” said Twilight barely able to close the door before there was another knock on it. “Who is it now?” Opening the door, she discovered it was the mayor of Ponyville. “Mayor Mare? What are you doing here?”\n\n“Hello, Twilight,” she greeted her. “I came by to tell you that the Annual Friendship Festival is coming up and was hoping you’d be able to her plan the itinerary.”\n\n“Don’t I always do that?” she reminded her. “Wasn’t I also the one who started the first ever Friendship Festival?”\n\n“Then I guess I can leave it to you then,” she replied, but didn’t take her leave. Rather, she poked her head in, eyeing her draconic date. “If you don’t mind me being a bit nosey, care to tell me who your friend is?”\n\n“This is Prometheus,” answered Twilight looking at Mayor Mare who was clearly here for some juicy info to gossip about. “And he’s here as a friend.”\n\n“A friend-friend… or something more,” she inquired, likely not going to give up till she bled Twilight for every little detail.\n\n“Just a friend,” answered Twilight before using her magic to lift the mayor up and place her outside. “Now, if you’ll excuse me, we have matters to attend to.”\n\n“What ki-” she tried to ask before Twilight shut the door.\n\n“It’s going to be a problem if she won’t stop interrupting us,” commented Prometheus.\n\n“The life of a princess,” she sighed. “So many ponies come to me for advice or something and more often than not it is when I am busy doing something… or someone.”\n\n“But,” added Prometheus giving her an intrigued look at what she would say next. Seeing the look of curiosity in his eyes, Twilight smirked and let him wonder a bit more while Mayor Mare was as persistent as ever at the door. “There is a but, right?” he asked again.\n\n“Of course there is,” the princess nodded and gave one of his cheeks a rub. “But before we get to yours, I’ll make sure we don’t get interrupted.” Twilight’s horn glowed and Prometheus watched with intrigue. He expected to see something amazing, but there was nothing, just the sound of a sudden “Zap!”. “There we go.”\n\n“Uh, what just happened?” he asked her.\n\n“Don’t you notice that the knocking stopped?” she pointed out and sure enough, the Mayor was no longer knocking on the door.\n\n“You made her leave?” he wondered as he reached for the door, but with her magic, Twilight kept him from touching it.\n\n“Don’t touch that door,” she warned him. “I made a barrier around the outside of the castle. Anyone who touches it will be sent somewhere where they won’t be able to bother us, another dimension that I have dubbed, ‘The Friend Zone.’”\n\n“So, is she going to be trapped there forever?” Prometheus questioned Twilight as he stepped away from the door cautiously.\n\n“Just till I decide to let her go,” she confirmed while making her way to her bedroom. “And this way, we can have all the fun we want in the meantime. So, let’s get going and you can get another chance to observe the unique biology of an Alicorn. I hope you brought plenty of paper for note taking.”\n\n“I brought a whole stack of college-ruled scroll paper and a #2 phoenix feather,” he flirted.\n\n“Keep talking nerdy like that and you’ll have me cumming before we even get to bed,” she murred sexily. As they made their way towards her room, the faint sounds of more zaps could be heard every so often from more ponies unexpectedly getting sent to the Friend Zone.\n\n\n“I am starting to have second thoughts about this,” admitted Starlight as she sat at a table with Apollo. Sunburst was in the other room getting everything ready for the study. “Maybe I shouldn’t do this. All this is just too weird.”\n\n“I’m sorry if this is so strange,” Apollo apologized. “I wouldn’t have come here if I had known it’d make you so uncomfortable. From the way he made it sound, you were eager to see me again.” He looked over to the beakers of seed that he had Sunburst had filled earlier, his nearly overflowing while Sunburst couldn’t manage more than filling up halfway. “It has been pretty weird for me too.”\n\n“You don’t have to apologize,” she told him. “I am happy to see you. You gave me my child, Blue, after all. It’s just… I kinda wished that it had happened with Sunburst. Not that there's anything wrong with-”\n\n“I understand,” he smiled at her. “You like him a lot, don’t you?”\n\n“More than I’ve ever loved anyone,” she nodded. “But he doesn’t feel the same way I do.” The sad pony let out a sigh and lowered her head. “He just made that abundantly clear.”\n\n“If you need someone to vent to,” he offered. “I am here to lend an ear.”\n\n“Thanks, but it is my problem to deal with,” she explained. “And I talked with Twilight about it plenty of times. Apparently, she thought I might go on a tyrannical rampage or attempt to destroy all of Equestria.”\n\n“Heh, guess your friend takes things a bit too seriously,” Apollo chuckled.\n\n“Sometimes, though not with this,” admitted Starlight. “I nearly destroyed all of Equestria due to Sunburst leaving me a long time ago when we were little kids. This time, I might skip the time travel and just annihilated the planet from the inside out.” Apollo looked at her with a stare that showed he didn’t know how to respond. “I was just kidding about that last part,” she confessed. “I wasn’t going to destroy the planet… much, but you get the idea of how much pain I was in. And now, he asks me to come here to be a part of this whole experiment with you like he doesn’t know I had feelings for him. Ugh, sometimes I think he can only see whatever crazy thing he is researching.”\n\n“Well, if that’s true,” the red dragon commented. “He’s currently studying you. Maybe this is your chance to get him to… notice you.”\n\n“Oh,” smiled Starlight. “The way you paused at the end, you must have something devious in mind.”\n\n“He wants to observe us, well, let’s really play it up,” he explained. “Enough to see if he really does have feelings for you. If he does, there’s no way he’ll let it continue and end up flying into a jealous rage.”\n\n“I can already imagine the look on his face,” chuckled Starlight. “Ok, let’s do it.”\n\n“I finally found those candlestick holders,” said Sunburst as he made his way back into the room looking quite dusty after searching the furthest corners of his storage closet. Shaking himself clean, he then got to work finishing setting up. His horn glowed as he had a couple plates, glasses, candles, and the candlestick holders, along with a candle in each, float around him. He set them up properly between the two test subjects like they were about to have a romantic meal together. “So, did you two have any romantic-type flirtations while I was in the other room that I should jot down?”\n\n“Uh, actually… yes,” lied Starlight. “As we were just sitting here chatting, we started recalling all the fun we had during the mating season and before we knew it… we were, uh…”\n\n“Lost in each other’s eyes,” finished Apollo when he saw Starlight was starting to flounder.\n\n“Fascinating,” remarked Sunburst as he started writing. “And what were you two feeling as you-” He paused when he heard the sounds of making out and watched as the two attempted the best fake passionate kiss they could manage. “Uh, I’ll just put down ‘very, very much in love.’ Let me just grab the food and we’ll start the experiment.”\n\nWalking off again, Apollo and Starlight unlocked lips and watched him leave, without so much a giving them one jealous glance. “Well, either Sunburst has no feelings for me at all, he’s too wrapped up in his research to care or he’s got the best poker face I’ve ever seen,” sighed Starlight as she slumped back in her chair.\n\n“Looks like we’ll have to kick things up a notch,” suggested Apollo.\n\n“I just hope my stomach can handle all this sweet lovey dovey stuff,” she gagged. “Being deceitful and devious is one thing, but let’s try and keep it just shy of a spontaneous song number.”\n\n“Agreed,” he nodded before Sunburst returned with a plate of spaghetti.\n\n“I hear this is supposed to be one of the most romantic meals,” he explained as he placed it between them. So, just start eating and pretend I’m not here.”\n\nLooking at one another and then at Sunburst who stared at them unblinking and quill at the ready to write, the two subjects for the love test awkwardly thought of what to do. It was Starlight who made the first move as she used her magic on her fork to spin some spaghetti on it. Then, bringing it over to Apollo’s maw, she fed it to him.\n\n“Here you go… my smoopie whoopie bear,” she spoke trying to play it up only to end up getting the dragon’s muzzle messy with sauce.\n\n“Oh, that’s really… yummy, my pretty little gemstone,” Apollo played along and forked some more spaghetti to feed to Starlight, his aim better than Starlight, but he tried feeding her too much and ended up getting her face just as messy as his was anyway.\n\n“Mmm, so gooooood,” she spoke back trying to act content with all this, but it was very obvious how poorly they were performing. At least, it was terrible, but Sunburst just scribbled some more notes and kept on watching like it wasn’t so obvious. “Now it’s your turn to have some,” Starlight continued to say as she twirled her fork on my spaghetti and aimed it at Apollo who opened his maw as wide as possible to give her as easy a target as possible. This time, she managed better, though his chin still ended up getting hit and covered with sauce as she fed him.\n\n“Stop right there!” Sunburst called out all of a sudden, making both their heart’s jump.\n\n“What’s the matter?” asked Starlight with hope in her eyes. “Is the sight of all this making you blind with jealous rage?”\n\n“No, it’s nothing like that,” he answered with a chuckle as he pulled out a camera. “I just wanted to take some photos to go alone with this. Just act natural and try not to look like you’re looking at the camera.” The two were beside themselves as he took a picture of their messy faces and then placed the camera down. “Alright, keep going.”\n\n“This is going to be a lot harder than we thought,” sighed Apollo.\n\n“Tell me about it,” grumbled Starlight as she was fed more spaghetti.\n\n\n“Mmm, you’re so warm,” murred Twilight as she embraced Prometheus in her bed. “A proper 248 degrees for a dragon in heat if I’m correct. Of course, with your heat resistant scales you only feel about a comfortable 120 degrees.”\n\n“Heheh, you are such a nerd,” he chuckled as hugged her tighter and kissed her nose. “Such a sexy brain you have. Tell me more.”\n\n“I’d love to,” she nodded and kissed his cheek.\n\n“Well, well, well,” smirked Chrysalis flying over Twilight’s castle. She tasted the air and licked her chops. “I’m not quite certain what is going on in there, but I sense a great amount of love within. Oh, how wonderful of the Princess of Friendship to go through the trouble of preparing a meal for me to go along with my revenge on her and that accursed Starlight Glimmer! I’ll swoop in and claim my vengeance before they even know what hit them!”\n\nLetting out a savage growl, the Changeling Queen swooped down, planning to fly right through the balcony of the castle, horn already hot with magic. She could see the inside of the castle and nothing was going to get in her way this time!\n\n“Buzzap!” She didn’t even make it inside before Twilight’s spell got her and she vanished along with all those who had attempted to disturb her earlier.\n\n“Did you hear something just now?” asked Prometheus as he watched Twilight nosing against his crotch before licking it to help coax his member out.\n\n“I think my little spell zapped another pest coming to bother us,” she guessed as she started to suck on his dragonhood as soon as it poked out.\n\n\nChrysalis found herself in the dark void located within a completely alternate dimension. Down below her she saw Mayor Mare along with a number of other ponies including Big Mac, Sugar Bell, Lyra, and Bonbon.\n\n“What is this place?” Chrysalis hissed as she flew down to the ponies. “Where are we?”\n\n“I’m not sure,” Mayor Mare answered nervously. “One minute we were in front of Twilight’s castle and the next we were here.”\n\n“Then I take it none of you know how to escape this accursed realm either,” Chrysalis figured and saw them all shake their heads. “Well, if you can’t help me escape this wretched place then all you are good for is food! Now give me your love!” Her horn glowed an evil green hue as she used her magic to life the mayor of Ponyville into the air. There was nothing she could do as Chrysalis opened her maw to extract all the love she possessed within her, but nothing came out. Hissing, Chrysalis tried again, but still not even a drop of love could be found.\n\n“What is this?” cried Chrysalis. “Why do you not possess any love?”\n\n“I don’t know,” the mayor answered fearfully. “Ever since I’ve been in here I haven’t felt particularly in love with anything.”\n\n“Don’t lie!” countered the queen of the Changelings. “You’re an elected official, aren’t you? At the very least you’re in love with yourself.”\n\n“It’s the same with us,” admitted Sugar Bell. “I can’t feel even a bit of love for Big Mac.”\n\n“Nope,” nodded Big Mac looking sad.\n\n“Us too,” spoke Lyra as she and Bonbon kissed one deeply with tongue. Everyone around them stared in awe the entire time till their lips finally parted.\n\n“See, normally that’d be filled with a passion hotter than a thousand suns,” explained Bonbon. “But now there’s nothing.”\n\n“And everyone else here is the same?” asked Chrysalis, verifying this lack of love was consistent and saw it was indeed true. “Then love does not exist in this plane of existence. Just where in Tartarus has Twilight Sparkle sent us?”\n\n\n“I think you’re all warmed up,” said Twilight as she rubbed her hoof up and down the impressive dragon cock, letting our murrs as she felt her pussy tongued by her mate.\n\n“Mmm, you are too, love,” he replied as he tasted her sweet nectar before planting a kiss upon her lower lips. “So, are we all set to begin?”\n\n“Oh, I’m more than ready,” she told him as she floated a rather lengthy scroll over to him. When he had one end in his claws, she released her magic upon it and let the rest of it unroll onto the ground and reach close to the wall before the end was revealed.\n\n“Fetish List,” he read at the top and then saw a large list of kinks, many of which made his dick twitch as he read them. As he read a chunk of what was on there, Twilight eyed his cock to see how many times it reacted and smirked seeing it do so a number of times. When Prometheus finally stopped, he looked down at Twilight. “So, are these really all your…”\n\n“Everything that I found that turns me on,” she finished for him. “Quite a lot, I know, but I’ve spent countless hours and had countless mates to fully understand just how my body functions, including what gives it pleasure. So, tell me, which of my fetishes matches yours? Judging from the number of times your cock throbbed I’d say we’ve got plenty to choose from for our date.”\n\n“If I can choose any that I want,” he replied, a bit intimidated by how forthcoming she was, but at the same time all the more excited. “Why not a little food play? We can have some fun and get something to eat at the same time. If we’re gonna be sexing all day then we’d best ensure we have the stamina for it.”\n\n“An astute choice that I’d have suggested myself,” stated Twilight as she praised him with a lick across his shaft. “Time for a little food conjuring magic.” Her horn glowed and in several flashes, a variety of different foods appeared on the bed like strawberries, whipped cream, donuts, and plenty more for them to have fun with. “Anything else you think we’ll need?”\n\n“Oh, this’ll be plenty,” Prometheus smiled as he watched Twilight check to see how many donuts he could fit on his cock. Chuckling a bit, he plucked up a strawberry and pushed it partly into her pussy and then covered it over with a big glob of whipped cream. “My favorite treat,” he joked while licking his chops playfully.\n\n“Then eat your fill,” encouraged Twilight as she reclined back and leaned over to his crotch to admire her own little donut stack snack she made. Holding it in her hooves, she munched on some of them and then gave his shaft a long lick. “You’ll need all the energy you can muster for all the fun we’re going to have.”\n\n“I think the fun has already started,” he murred and licked up the whipped cream, cleaning up her crotch and breasts with his delicate serpent’s tongue. He was very thorough in licking up every last bit and even licking at her crotch after to make her squirm and giggle.\n\n“Heheh, fun indeed,” she agreed and plucked the last donut off of his cock to eat, biting off half of it before offering him the other half. He was more than happy to nom that piece up and then pressed his lips to her pussy as he sucked the strawberry out of it, forcing a blissful moan from her. “Oh, Celestia, yes!” Taking some chocolate sauce, she drizzled it over his junk and then fit the entire thing into her maw, eager to savor the sweetened treat.\n\n“Now, don’t have too much fun,” moaned Prometheus. “Wouldn’t want to end this when we just got started.”\n\nTwilight heard this and slowly pulled out, her tongue gliding across his shaft teasingly and almost made him spurt his load right then if he hadn’t resisted the pleasure. “No, we can’t have that,” she swooned. “I’ve been looking forward to this for far too long. Besides, it’s about time we moved onto some more fetish fun.”\n\n“Have anything in mind for what to do next?” he asked as his heart pounded with eagerness.\n\n“I do indeed,” she smirked as her horn glowed and pulled his feet over to her face. She sniffed his feet, inhaling deeply. Snickering as her whiffs tickled his feet, Prometheus pressed them firmer against her face and watched her hug them tight and continue to embrace them.\n\n“Heheh, you certainly do,” laughed the dragon as he felt her start to lick his soles and looked at her soles to do the same.\n\n\n“Nothing seems to be working,” gasped Starlight for air. She was frustrated after spending the last twenty minutes making out with Apollo and finally had to stop to breathe. They were sitting before a backdrop of the night sky full of glittering stars and a big, full moon. Sunburst had even let loose fireflies in the room to make it feel more like a romantic Summer’s night for them, though most of the insects had flown off elsewhere in the house before long.\n\n“Is it possible for any creature to be this… dense?” the dragon asked quietly so Sunburst wouldn’t hear.\n\n“Wow, that’s incredible!” exclaimed Sunburst as he looked at his stopwatch. “Do you two know how long you were both making out for?”\n\n“Uh, I’m not sure,” replied Starlight with a nervous chuckle. “When I’m with my uh, woopie darling draggie poo, it feels like time is just standing still.”\n\n“I should have figured that,” chuckled the ever oblivious pony. “When two love birds like yourselves are together everything else in the world just seems to vanish till just the two of you are left. You probably forget I was even here for a little while or even that this was just a test.”\n\n“Why?” asked Starlight, hoping that last remark had some jealousy behind it. “Did it bother you?”\n\n“Bother me?” he repeated. “Not at all. I’ll get better results the more naturally you both react to this. Now, there’s one last test and then we’re done. Just give me a minute to get it set up upstairs.”\n\nThey watched him hurry away, looking to be enjoying all this way more than the two of them. “I stand corrected,” sighed Starlight. “Maybe he is that clueless… or maybe he really doesn’t have any feelings for me to become jealous.”\n\n“Well, there’s only one way to know for sure and it’s the final test,” admitted Apollo.\n\n“Thank Celestia,” commented Starlight. “Oh, no offense. I like you just fine, but…”\n\n“I’m no substitute for the one you really love,” he finished for her. “I know and I’m okay with it. It’s his loss if he can’t see what’s right in front of him.”\n\n“Everything’s all set,” Sunburst called down to them. “You can come up now.”\n\n“I got one more chance to make him see,” she commented. “What’s this final test anyway?”\n\n“The only thing we haven’t done yet,” Apollo told her as they came upstairs and saw the big bed made out for them with rose petals all over it and the floor. “Sex in bed.”\n\n“Oh, uh, great,” she replied nervously as they entered the bedroom and saw exactly how Sunburst had gotten it ready, making the room lit by candlelight and lit incense to hide the typical musty smell his home possesed. He had even enchanted a violin to play some romantic music. “You certainly went through a lot of trouble to set this up, just for an experiment. Do we even really need all this stuff if it is just sex?”\n\n“Of course we need all this stuff. I honestly wish I could have done more,” Sunburst admitted. “Anyway, what other time would we need to use all this stuff anyway?”\n\n“Maybe for real, unscientific sex,” Starlight answered under her breath.\n\n“Did you say something?” asked Sunburst.\n\n“Just that I can’t wait to get started with Apollo,” she lied. “All this music and, uh, rose petals really turns me on.”\n\n“Well, don’t mind me,” he instructed the two love birds. “Just do what feels natural.”\n\n“Move over osmium, when it comes to density you’re a distant second to Sunburst,” thought Starlight as she got into bed and under the blanket on one side. Apollo did the same on the other.\n\nAs the dragon looked at her, he could see the less than eager look on her face. “We don’t have to do this if you don’t want to,” he spoke quietly enough so Sunburst couldn’t hear.\n\n“No, it’s fine,” she sighed. “When I decided to do this, I planned to see it through to the end. If this doesn’t even effect Sunburst in the slightest of ways then there really is nothing between us at all.”\n\n“If that’s the case, then he really is an idiot,” commented Apollo. “Those glasses he has on have to be for show if he can’t see what he has right in front of me.”\n\nHis words got a chuckle out of Starlight that Sunburst promptly took note of, yet still not even the slightest look of irritation from him. “Guess we’d best get started,” Starlight told Apollo as she climbed on top of him and gently brushed up against his chest as he ran his claws gently down her back.\n\n“This brings back memories of when we first met,” noted Apollo. “As we embraced one another in the dragon lands, it was such a magical time.”\n\n“Most of that was a bit of a blur while I was under the influence of lust,” admitted Starlight. “But I do recall getting enveloped by something blissfully warm.”\n\n“You mean this?” smiled Apollo as he covered her body with his wings as he hugged her tightly.\n\n“Yeah,” she murred and looked up at him a bit happier. “This does feel really familiar. And then I think we kissed? I remember a warmth against my muzzle next.”\n\n“I believe we did,” he nodded and moved his head forward, pressing his lips against hers as he used one of his hands to caress her cheek. Compared to the overly long kiss from before, this one was much briefer and filled with tons more passion.\n\n“And then we took the plunge,” panted Starlight actually getting into it.\n\n“Quite eagerly at that,” he added.\n\n“I remember the feeling I had back then,” she moaned as she felt his cock pressed against her crotch and the lower half of her belly. “I didn’t want to admit it to anyone back then, not even to Twilight, but I was really depressed. Something had happened, but meeting with you, it made me feel better.”\n\n“It distracted you from it?” he asked as he felt her wiggle around getting into position to slide down and take his dragonhood inside of her.\n\n“That isn’t exactly right,” she admitted. “I think it was more like a placebo, if that makes any sense.”\n\n“I think I’m starting to understand,” he spoke softly to her as he ran his claws through her mane before his eyes widened a bit. “Uh, but perhaps we shouldn’t.”\n\n“Why not?” she asked as she breathed in his sent and began to buck her hips giving them both a feeling of euphoria. “I’m feeling better already.”\n\n“But last time-” he started to say, but he suddenly found his mouth clamped shut magically by Starlight’s glowing horn.\n\n“Shh,” she hushed him. “Let’s just enjoy this.” When her horn stopped glowing, he could freely use his jaw once more.\n\n“If you insist,” he conceded and he kissed her on her nose while she picked up her humping speed.\n\n“Oh, feels so wonderful,” she moaned as she wrapped her hooves around his body while he rubbed her back and made his way down to her flank, rubbing and groping her firm rear. All the while, Sunburst kept on taking notes in silence. The music of the violin became muffled as the sounds of sex grew louder. First, there was Starlight and Apollo’s hastened breathing and the slapping of their crotches as their pre sloshed and squished as dick slipped in and out of pussy. Then there was the bed that rocked and creaked beneath their combined weight as they bounced up and down on it. Finally, moans of bliss escaped their lips as the pleasure made their bodies convulse from the overwhelming sensations.\n\nEventually, the blanket covering the two of them over came off, exposing their love-making bodies that didn’t pause as Starlight jammed his sheath deep into her once more and let out another lust-filled moan.\n\n“I’m close,” he nibbled at her ear.\n\n“I can tell,” she answered as she felt his chest with her hooves. “Y-You’re so hot. Filled with such a wonderful warmth. I love it.”\n\n“What can I say?” he chuckled. “It comes with being a dragon.”\n\n“I’m ready when you are,” she told him as she looked deeply into his eyes.\n\n“I’m ready,” he answered as he clenched her cheeks and pushed his cock back into her just in time as his dick pulsed and finally shot his spunk into her, filling her with his warmth.\n\n“Oh!” she moaned with bliss as she reveled in the pleasure. “Oh, so wonderful. I love you. I love you, Sunburst!”\n\n“She said it again,” thought Apollo as he saw the look on her face after she realized what she had said as well, a mix of surprise and tension. Quickly, she got off of Apollo and turned to Sunburst who seemed just as shocked by this. “Sunburst, I-”\n\n“Wow, you really got into it,” he replied, his voice somewhat shaky, but he managed to keep most of his composure. I got some really great data from all this.”\n\n“Data!” snapped Starlight as her eyes started to water as she grew terribly upset. “That’s all you care about! I love you Sunburst! I always have and even now I do, but clearly you still see us as just friends.”\n\n“But Starlight-”\n\n“I thought that finally you were ready to confess your love to me,” she sniffled. “That you were going to be the one in that bed with me.” Tears blurring her vision, Starlight rubbed them away and then headed back downstairs. “I can’t be here anymore…”\n\n“Wait! Starlight!” he cried, but his words didn’t reach her.\n\n“It doesn’t look like this turned out how you expected it to,” commented Apollo. “But if you wanted to break her heart then you’ve clearly succeeded.”\n\n“That’s not what I wanted,” Sunburst stated sadly. “Not at all.”\n\n\n“I think this was my favorite one so far,” murred Twilight, clad in purple scales as she had taken on the form of a dragon while Prometheus had been turned into a Pegasus Pony. “The sleek design, the strength, oh, and the greed and desire I’m filled with is so intense. Murr! How are dragons able to focus on anything else when every fiber of my being is lusting for you?”\n\n“Dragons are usually greedy for more things than sex,” Prometheus replied, the winged horse suddenly the smaller one in the relationship and quickly found that to be something to dread as Twilight looked upon him with eyes full of longing. He curled his body up, shaking a little as he felt incredibly vulnerable while not coated in a thick layer of scales. “Plus, I think you might be a tad too horny to begin with.”\n\n“Perhaps,” she admitted before smirking quite deviously at him. “Now loosen up and give me that cock! I haven’t had my fill yet.”\n\n“But isn’t ten times enough,” he whimpered. “We’ve done food play, foot fetish, bondage, species swap, and plenty of other things. I know this might be the pony me talking, but… couldn’t we just cuddle for a while?”\n\n“Oh, you’re obviously just a bit drained from the sex we already had,” Twilight told him, using her draconic strength to easily move his legs away from his crotch to expose his flaccid member. It wasn’t that he was no longer attracted to the purple vixen. Quite the opposite, he was only getting turned on more as she pressed her lush melons against his face while she ran her claws gently through his mane. He was just as she had put it, out of gas while her tank looked as full as ever.\n\n“Not doing it for you?” she asked before turning around to give him a face full of her bare buttocks as she maneuvered her tail around the back of his head and fondled his package with it. He could smell the lust radiating from her crotch and it was oozing desire like she had been sex starved for weeks. Prometheus couldn’t help wonder just what kind of monster had he gotten into bed with. “Still no good?”\n\n“S-Sorry,” he apologized. “I’m out of stamina and there’s nothing you can do about that.”\n\n“Oh, can’t I?” she grinned as she got out of bed and coiled her poor mate up on her tail as she hurried through her home and down the stairs.\n\n\n“Princess Twilight!” bellowed Tirek outside her castle, monstrously large and ready for revenge. “I know you’re in there! Now, prepare to suffer my wrath!” He rushed at her castle, aiming to smash it to bit as the start of his payback. However, like so many others before him, the second he even came in contact with the castle, he was zapped away to the other dimension, his zap more like a massive bolt of lightning mixed with a crash of thunder due to his size.\n\n“Another one?!?” cried Chrysalis as practically all of Ponyville was trapped within the Friend Zone with her as well as a large number of other ponies and creatures who came to visit Twilight as such an inopportune time. With Tirek added, it made their already cramped situation even worse. “How much longer does she intend to keep us here?”\n\n“Ugh, where are we?” groaned Tirek as he looked around. “What is this place?”\n\n“Pretty much a prison for anyone that goes near the castle,” groaned Chrysalis, flying onto his shoulder just for the fact there was more space there than on the ground. A number of the ponies and other creatures climbed onto him thinking the same thing.\n\n“Hey! Get off me!” snapped Tirek, really irked by this as he tried swatting them away, but he barely had room to move himself. “This is worse than Tartarus! Let me out! Do you hear me Princess Twilight? Let me out of here!”\n\n\n“Sounds like we got a big one this time,” chuckled Twilight as she carried her mate to the basement of her castle and into a dark room filled with a number of old scrolls and potions that looked like they hadn’t been touched in quite some time. For a place within the Castle of Friendship, it appeared like something one would find in a more fiendish locale.\n\n“Where are we?” he wondered quite nervously as Twilight locked the door behind them.\n\n“Just my private study,” she answered as she wiped the dust away from the bottles of potions to read their labels. She stopped when she found the one she wanted, a long skinny vile of green liquid. She picked it up and pulled off the rubber stopper to sniff the contents like she was checking to see if it had passed its expiration date. The sinister smirk that spread on her was evidence enough that it hadn’t. Maneuvering Prometheus over to her front side she brought the potion to his lips intent to make him drink it. “I’ve wanted to try this potion from Zecora’s for ages. I won’t get a better time than now.”\n\n“What’s that supposed to do?” he wondered with a very worried look on his face. The potion was just a slight tilt away from running out of the vile and into his maw.\n\n“Just something to help get you back in action,” she explained. Just gulp it down and you’ll begging for more of my pussy.”\n\nWithout any choice as Twilight started to give it to him, Prometheus drank down the contents, the taste repulsively bitter that he spat trying to get the taste off of his mouth. As he did, he noticed his body started to change, scales returning and replacing the pony hair that currently covered his body. At the same time, Twilight was replacing scale with hair. Her long, thick tail shrank as it also reverted to normal and released Prometheus as it lost its dexterity.\n\n“Looks like my species swap spell decided to wear off,” commented Twilight still smirking as she looked at Prometheus, her head at first looking down at him and slowly changing to up as their sizes switched back to normal.\n\n“Oh, murr,” groaned Prometheus with revitalized lust. He rubbed his crotch as his dick hardened up once more. “Why do I get the feeling you had all this planned out?”\n\n“Maybe a little,” she admitted, rubbing his shaft and watched it leak pre. “Looks like you’re all set to go again.”\n\n“Terribly so,” he nodded, so horny he reached down to fap himself off, but, with her magic, Twilight kept his claws at bay.\n\n“No, no, no,” she told him as she teased his cock with one hoof and rubbed his balls with the other. “These are my toys to play with.”\n\n“F-Fine,” Prometheus conceded. “Then let’s get to humping. That potion worked too well!”\n\n“One more moment,” Twilight told him with a devious smirk on his face. “First, let’s make some improvements on your equipment.”\n\n“Improvements?” he wondered, but only for a moment as he felt Twilight’s magic flow over his cock and balls and penetrate them. Dragonhood twitching and pulsing, its size began to increase despite him already being at his full length. It just kept on swelling larger, getting longer and thicker before both their eyes.\n\nPrometheus was average for a dragon of his size, but quickly his cock grew large enough to be the envy of all dragons. His balls had a similar fate as they were enlarged too, quickly reaching a thickness comparable to watermelons as they hung down from his crotch and rest on the floor. Prometheus was speechless at his improved endowment and was only certain he had stopped growing once Twilight hugged and brushed up against his length, giving the head a lick to taste his pre as it oozed out far more intensely thanks to his bigger balls.\n\n“Mmm, NOW you’re ready,” Twilight stated as she reclined back onto the floor and spread her legs. “Give me all you got, big guy.” She gave him a wink and like every fibre of his being was telling him to do just that.\n\nPrometheus shoved his thick dick into her pussy, practically orgasming into her the second he did. “Oh, this feels so good!” he wailed with ecstasy as Twilight cried with a mix of pleasure and pain at receiving his a big rod into her so forcefully.\n\n“Yes it does,” she agreed, seeing the lower half of her abdomen bulge where his cock pressed against it. Her insides were burning hot from his rod and only added to the feeling of heat she was experiencing. It was a feeling of pleasure greater than any she had ever known before. “Oh, this feeling of euphoria… it’s beyond words or logic. It it wonderful! I want more! Keep humping and pounding! The day’s far from over and I’m not nearly satisfied yet!”\n\n“I have to agree with you there,” he murred as he pinned her front legs on the ground and began humping into her with incredible vigor, their wails echoing through the catacombs beneath the castle.\n\n\n“Starlight! “Starlight!” called Sunburst as he searched the streets of the Crystal Empire. The sun was setting and it was already getting harder to see. “Starlight, where are you?”\n\nAfter circling around the area three times, he paused to catch his breath by the statue of Spike. His mane had become more a frazzled mess than usual in his frantic search. Taking a seat, he held his head, unable to think about what to do. “I screwed up,” he cried. “I messed things up again. Now Starlight probably wants nothing to do with me. She’s probably at the station about to leave me forever!”\n\nAfter saying that, a look of excited revelation hit him. “She’s at the station!” Getting up, he could hear the sound of the train’s whistle as it was quickly approaching the Crystal Empire. In a panic, he raced off again, praying that he’d make it in time.\n\n“We’ve arrived at the Crystal Empire,” called the conductor as ponies disembarked on one side and started to get on from the other. “All aboard for the following stops, Canterlot, Ponyville, and Appaloosa!” He watched as the ponies boarded the train till only Starlight remained, staring at it with an uncertain sadness in her eyes. “Lady, are you boarding or not? We’ve got a schedule to keep.”\n\n“Yeah, I’m coming,” she sighed and started forward to the train.\n\n“Starlight!” called out Sunburst as he hurried onto the platform, just in time to see her stepping foot onto the train. “Please! Please don’t go!”\n\nSounding it’s whistle one more time, the locomotive’s wheels started to turn slowly as it left the station. Black clouds billowed out of the smokestack as the train picked up speed and before long it was racing out of the Crystal Empire and through the cold, arctic north.\n\n“Sunburst,” spoke Starlight calmly as she stood on the platform once more, looking at the nerdy Stallion, exhausted and wheezing from running all the way over. “What is it? Was there another experiment you forgot to conduct?”\n\n“Starlight, I-”\n\n“Well, you can forget it,” she snapped at him. “I don’t even know what I am to you anymore if this is why you called me all the way out here. I thought you cared for me, or, at the very least liked me.”\n\n“Starlight, I love you,” he told her.\n\n“Yeah, that’s great, but that doesn’t-” she started to say, but quickly came to a stop after realizing what he had said. “You… love me?”\n\n“Yes,” he nodded. “I do. I love you, Starlight.”\n\n“Oh… well,” blushed Starlight more confused now than ever. “She turned away to hide her face from him. “You, uh, certainly have a weird way of showing it, making me do all those experiments.”\n\n“The truth is, Starlight,” he admitted. “They weren’t tests. I was… trying to get you to move on from me.”\n\n“I’m sorry,” she told him. “The more you are trying to clear things up, the more lost I’m getting.”\n\n“Remember that dinner we had with our parents way back,” he told her. “You know… the one that ended in a complete disaster.”\n\n“That narrows it down to every dinner we have with them, but I assume you are talking about the one when your mother asked when we were going to get married and give them grandkids.”\n\n“Y-Yeah,” the orange stallion sweated even worse than when he had been running. “That one.”\n\n“What about it?” she wondered. “Those kinds of awkward questions are standard for parents to always ask their kids.”\n\n“I know that and I lied saying we didn’t like each other that way,” he continued. “Even when we both took the plunge and… did it. I remember we made a promise to tell them what they had been longing to hear for years.”\n\n“Which you didn’t,” she sighed. “Admittedly, I was hurt when you said we weren’t in a relationship and then you started avoiding me, ignoring my letters and keeping yourself busy with work.”\n\n“I couldn’t face you,” Sunburst told her. “Commitment frightened me and like a coward I ran away from the problem… again.”\n\n“Well, if not for Twilight, I might have done something foolish too,” Starlight confessed to help ease his own guilt. “Possibly total world destruction levels foolish.”\n\n“You kind of did destroy the world,” he stated. “Mine anyway… during the mating season.”\n\n“How was,” Starlight started to say until the pieces started to come together. “You thought we were over because of that? Because I got pregnant and had a daughter? I may not have intended for that to happen, but I am not sorry that happened. I am happy to have Blue in my life, but that never meant it was over for us. In a way, I may have wanted all that just to get back at you… to hurt you.”\n\n“I was hurt, but I was happy that you had a chance at motherhood. Because… I’m just no good at it.”\n\n“You’re no good at motherhood?” chuckled Starlight. “Well, the right spell could fix that.”\n\n“No, not that,” he corrected himself feeling a bit embarrassed. “You turned out ready to be a parent and I still am not. I don’t know if I’ll ever be and I didn’t want you and Blue to be waiting for someone who might never come around. That wouldn’t be right, which is why, I tracked down the dragon you mated with and together we set up this whole elaborate ruse to try and help you two fall in love.”\n\n“Then you set this up for me?” questioned Starlight. “And that whole cumming into a test tube when I arrived was part of it too?”\n\n“I figured if you walked in on something that awkward you wouldn’t doubt what I was doing,” he admitted. “Also, it was the single most embarrassing thing I’ve ever done, but I did it all for you. Despite how well everything was working out, it failed at the end. I don’t know what went wrong.”\n\n“Maybe the fact that it failed from the very start,” Starlight said, this time being the one to explain things. “I didn’t know this was a setup or that Apollo was in on it too. In fact, he was the one who suggested we go along to try and get you jealous. The one thing I don’t get is if he knew this wasn’t going to work in the first place, why did he even suggest it to me?.”\n\n“Looks like all the pieces are finally coming together,” stated Apollo as he flew down onto the platform to join them.\n\n“Why’d you suggest we do all that to get Sunburst jealous if you knew he wanted to get us together?” she questioned him.\n\n“Well, first off,” he answered. “I’m a dragon of my word so I couldn’t just blab the truth out to either of you. Secondly, I figured this would all work out in the end if you two care this much for one another. Finally, it was a lot of fun too. Heheh, I can’t say I didn’t enjoy it, awkwardness and all.”\n\n“That kinda makes sense, I guess,” Starlight said pondering all that over. “I didn’t realize how far you would go for my happiness.”\n\n“And, though I hid it well, I was burning with jealousy the entire time,” Sunburst confessed as he showed Starlight a bottle filled with a red cloud. “I have like a dozen of these filled with my blind rage back in my house. Every chance I got, I had to empty out my anger.”\n\n“We better take care of them before something happens,” suggested Starlight. “But, right now, I’m just glad to know that we can finally be together.”\n\n“I’d love to be with you, Starlight,” he nodded. “But I’m still not sure if I’m ready.”\n\n“I wasn’t ready for a child either,” she told him. “But I don’t think anyone is. Even so, you take responsibility anyway and make it through somehow. Just come back to Ponyville with me and you’ll see. Everything will be fine. Blue will be fine. We will be fine.”\n\n“Well, after this,” smiled Sunburst. “I realize that I don’t want you to spend your life with anybody else, but me.”\n\n“Hearing you say that makes everything we’ve been through completely worth it,” smiled Starlight as she pressed her lips to Sunburst who embraced her in a passionate kiss.\n\n“Well, looks like my work here is done,” stated Apollo while they were still making out. “If you guys come up with any more complicated plans that require a dragon or something, come get me. You guys are a hoot and a half.” Taking off into the sky after saying that, Apollo headed for home while Starlight and Sunburst continued their embrace.\n\n\n“Where did the day go?” yawned Ember as she and Spike pulled the two strollers, Ember pushing the one with Blaze in it while Spike took care of the one with Flare and Blue in it. All three babies were sound asleep, tuckered out after a full day of playing.”\n\n“The day goes by fast when you’re nauseous,” commented Spike.\n\n“Oh, I didn’t spin you around that much,” she snickered. “But that was a lovely shade of green you turned.”\n\n“Ha ha ha,” Spike fake laughed. “Daddy always has to look like a dopey clown in front of the kids. Why can’t mommy?”\n\n“You play the part so well,” Ember chuckled. “No sense in even competing.” Ember then came to a stop and looked around curiously. Spike stopped and watched her. “Hey, isn’t Ponyville kinda deserted?”\n\n“Now that you mention it, there isn’t a soul around,” realized Spike as he looked around too. “Don’t tell me Twilight isn’t done yet.”\n\n“Not done?” wondered Ember. “You mean, she’s still doing it, but it’s been hours. How horny can one pony be?”\n\n“You don’t wanna know,” shivered Spike as they made their way back to the castle. Ember approached the steps to knock on the door, but, quick to act, Spike stopped her. “Don’t take another step,” he warned her and received a confused look. “Just trust me on this. We’ll know when it’s safe to go back inside. There’s a signal.”\n\n“What kind of signal?” she asked as the ground around them started to rumble. “I-Is this an earthquake.”\n\n“No, but I have a feeling it’s-” Spike started to say as they held the baby carriages steady. Then, out of the Castle of Friendship, a beam of magic fired out of it and into the sky, bursting like a firework in the shape of a heart. “That’s the signal, Spell Number 69. Looks like she’s finally done.”\n\n“Why do I have the feeling I don’t wanna know,” commented Ember as she watched Spike approach the castle and open the door without getting zapped away to the friend zone.\n\n“Because you really don’t,” he told her and walked back down to carefully bring the carriage with Blue and Flare up them and into the castle. Ember followed after him with Blaze and they made their way towards Twilight’s library.\n\n\nMeanwhile, outside, one after another, all the ponies and other creatures that had been trapped in the Friend Zone started to return in a flash of magic. Quickly, they all hurried away, rushing home till only Chrysalis and Tirek remained.\n\n“I don’t know what all that was about, but I will get my revenge!” the queen of the Changelings hissed.\n\n“And I will get my revenge too!” snarled Tirek. The two then just stood there, not daring to go near the castle, unsure if it was actually safe to do so now. “Uh, after you,” offered Tirek.\n\n“No, you can get your revenge first,” she replied. “My vengeance can wait.”\n\n“I insist, ladies first,” he told her and gestured for her to go.\n\n“My, certainly the gentleman,” she smiled. “How about we put a pin in this whole vengeance thing and go find some ponies to feast upon.”\n\n“That depends,” he asked her running his fingers through his beard. “What part of the ponies do you feast upon?”\n\n“Their love,” she answered just drooling at the thought and famished from her time in the Friend Zone.\n\n“I eat their magic,” he told her.\n\n“Really now,” she said as they started to walk away together. “That’s very interesting. And is that why you’re so huge?”\n\n“Strong too,” the big, red beast bragged as he flexed his muscles. “Not the biggest I’ve been, but if I can get my hands on a few Alicorns I might be able to fix that.”\n\n“Does it make you bigger down there too?” the black, bug pony creature asked as she blushed.\n\n“Heh, well, maybe I’ll let you see for yourself, tonight,” he offered her as they walked off together.\n\n\n“We’re back,” Spike greeted Twilight and Prometheus as they entered the library to find them sorting books. “How was your date?”\n\n“Very fun,” smiled Twilight as she placed a few books on the shelf. “We’ve just about finished reorganizing the shelves.”\n\n“How many times did you do that?” smirked Spike in a knowing voice. “Ten? Twenty?”\n\n“I think we just did it once,” answered Prometheus as he yawned. “Though I am having a but trouble recalling most of what happened during. It feels like I blinked and the whole day flew by. I must’ve really enjoyed myself, though, cause I feel really good.”\n\n“I told you booksortcations are very therapeutic,” Twilight stated. “We should do this again sometime… maybe next week.”\n\n“Perhaps we could join you,” suggested Ember. “We’re practically family, after all.”\n\n“Um, no, I’m sure we’ll be busy then,” worried Spike.\n\n“Nonsense,” chuckled Ember with a devious glint in her eyes. “It sounds like a great stress reliever.”\n\n“You’re more than welcome to come,” agreed Twilight. “I can even show you some of my tricks… for proper book sorting.”\n\n“Sounds good to me,” smirked Ember. “We’ll see you two next week then, but right now, we should be getting home.”\n\n“Ok, see you two later,” Twilight called to them.\n\n“Bye,” waved Prometheus.\n\n“See ya,” Spike said before turning to Ember. “Why do I get the feeling I’m going to regret your decision?”\n\n“Oh, you need to loosen up a little, Spoike,” replied a snickering Ember.\n\n“You’re never going to let that die, are you?” he questioned her.\n\n“Nope.”",
  "writing_bbcode_parsed": "<span style='word-wrap: break-word;'>&ldquo;Twilight,&rdquo; called Spike as he knocked on the castle&rsquo;s front door. &ldquo;Your number one of assistant and prince of the Dragon Lands is here to babysit.<br /><br />&ldquo;Coming,&rdquo; she called to him and opened the door. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s good to see you. It&rsquo;s been ages since you&rsquo;ve been over.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Great seeing you too,&rdquo; he replied. &ldquo;But why is it you needed me to come all the way over here to babysit again? What about Starlight?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;She went off the the Crystal Empire to visit Sunburst,&rdquo; she explained. &ldquo;And after that, I got word from Prometheus that he wanted to come over and see me.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Oh, good ole Prometheus is coming here,&rdquo; smiled Spike before asking the obvious. &ldquo;Uh, who&rsquo;s Prometheus?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;He&rsquo;s the dragon I met at the mating,&rdquo; blushed Twilight, meaning he is Nova Flare&rsquo;s father. I was keeping in touch with him ever since. He had a lot of questions about ponies and I had a number of things I wanted to ask him about too. And just the other day he wanted to know if he could visit me. I guess you could say we&rsquo;re going to be dating.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Dating?&rdquo; asked Spike looking quite skeptical. &ldquo;I know I&rsquo;ve been away awhile, but is that some new scientific slang for collecting data?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;ve missed your snark,&rdquo; she smiled at him. &ldquo;But we&rsquo;re really dating and I was hoping you&rsquo;d take care of Nova Flare and Blue Moon for the day. I&rsquo;m sure they want to spend some time with their Uncle Spike.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;d be happy too,&rdquo; he answered. &ldquo;Ember is with Blaze at the park so I&rsquo;m sure they&rsquo;ll be more than happy to play together. So, where are they right now?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Playing in the nursery,&rdquo; she told him and they proceeded over there.<br /><br />&ldquo;Mine!&rdquo; cried Nova as she tugged at an old green blanket.<br /><br />&ldquo;Mine!&rdquo; argued Blue as she tugged back.<br /><br />&ldquo;Mine!&rdquo; they both pouted not wanting to share.<br /><br />Seeing this Twilight turned pale and ran to intervene. &ldquo;That&rsquo;s a no-no you two,&rdquo; she told them taking the blanket away. &ldquo;You two have to get along and share. We don&rsquo;t want one of you to end up banishing the other somewhere like your Auntie Celestia and Luna now.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Blaze has gotten into that &lsquo;mine&rsquo; phase too,&rdquo; replied Spike. &ldquo;Though, that&rsquo;s a phase some greedy dragons never grow out of. Luckily for you I was never like that.&rdquo; It was then that Spike recognized the blanket Twilight had taken away as the one he had when he was a baby dragon. &ldquo;You gave them my blankey,&rdquo; he cried. &ldquo;But that&rsquo;s mine.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Looks like someone hasn&rsquo;t fully gotten out of their &lsquo;mine&rsquo; phase,&rdquo; joked Twilight as she magically folded up the blanket and put it away.<br /><br />&ldquo;What can I say?&rdquo; Spike replied as he helped Twilight gather the babys&rsquo; things to get them ready for the park. &ldquo;That blanket and I had been through a lot together. So many wonderful naps.&rdquo;<br /><br /><br />Starlight rushed through the Crystal Empire, passing by the Crystal Heart and the giant statue of Great and Honorable, Spike the Brave and Glorious without so much as averting her eyes to gaze at them. She barely paid any of the Crystal Ponies any mind either as she dashed on by, her heart racing and not merely from running since she got off the train.<br /><br />&ldquo;Sunburst had something really important he wanted to tell me,&rdquo; she panted. &ldquo;Could it be&hellip; is he finally going to pop the question?&rdquo; Reaching his door, she stopped and froze. &ldquo;But what if this isn&rsquo;t what he asked me out here for? He often gets excited for the most arbitrary of things so perhaps this is just him sharing so of his new research with me. Perhaps I&rsquo;m getting my hopes up for nothing.&rdquo; She sat down in front of his store suddenly in a stupor. &ldquo;I just wish I could tell him, but not after what happened with our parents.&rdquo; Sighing, she waited till she managed to collect herself again and knocked on the door. &ldquo;Sunburst! I&rsquo;m here!&rdquo;<br /><br />There was no answer as she waited several minutes. When she knocked and called again there was still no response. Trying the door, she found it was unlocked. Peeking inside, she saw the lights were on and it was every bit as messy as it had been with books stacked on other books, balls of crumpled up scrolls on the ground around an already overstuffed trash bin, and plenty of old broken quills scattered about. There was even something that Starlight saw on his desk that made Starlight turn green and want to gag. With how it looked and smelled, it was either some mystical mushrooms from some forsaken corner of Equestria or Sunburst&rsquo;s lunch from a couple weeks ago that he had long since forgotten about. Starlight figured it was likely both.<br /><br />&ldquo;Sunburst!&rdquo; she called once more. &ldquo;Are you home?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Oh! Starlight!&rdquo; Sunburst called to her from the other room. &ldquo;I wasn&rsquo;t expecting you so soon. I&rsquo;m so glad you came. I&rsquo;m over in my room.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Usually he&rsquo;s got his face glued to a book whenever I come over,&rdquo; thought Starlight. &ldquo;I wonder what he&rsquo;s up to.&rdquo; Hurrying to his room, Starlight suddenly found herself quite eager again. She walked through the door and saw Sunburst. &ldquo;Sunburst, I- Sweet Celestia!?!&rdquo; The sight before Starlight was something she had never expected to see. Sunburst was sitting on his bed beside a dragon with orange scales and a fiery, red spikes running down his back. He even had a scruffy-looking beard like Sunburst&rsquo;s. Just looking at him, he appeared like the dragon version of Sunburst, but that wasn&rsquo;t what filled Starlight with so much shock. What did was that the two of them were rubbing their dicks with the tips aimed into beakers. Already, it looked like they had both managed to empty one load into it, the dragon&rsquo;s beaker filled by a fair amount more. Even as they warmed up for a second release, the dragon&rsquo;s dick was leaking more pre than Sunburst was.<br /><br />&ldquo;Is something wrong, Starlight?&rdquo; asked a clueless Sunburst.<br /><br />&ldquo;You don&rsquo;t think this is wrong?&rdquo; she snapped at him. &ldquo;You invite me over and this is what you are doing? I don&rsquo;t even know what you are doing!&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Collecting data,&rdquo; he explained. &ldquo;Well, cum, but it&rsquo;s for important research.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;If it were any other pony I&rsquo;d seriously doubt that,&rdquo; she admitted bluntly, that one statement somehow helping her cope with what she was witnessing. &ldquo;Care to add in some context for those of us who just walked in?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Well, I was reading up on that report that Twilight wrote during the dragon mating,&rdquo; he explained. &ldquo;And it got me intrigued to do my own research into seeing the sexual behaviors of dragons outside of their mating season. I figured I&rsquo;d do a comparison too, to investigate the similarities and difference between ponies and dragons. Already, I&rsquo;m collecting quite a lot of data.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I can see that,&rdquo; replied Starlight, looking at the beaker floating by his crotch with his seed in it. &ldquo;And you invited me over during your vital research because&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I needed a mare to help with my research and there was nopony better for the task than you,&rdquo; he explained. &ldquo;Since you have had relations with this dragon before, I know for certain that you both must have some chemistry together.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I have?&rdquo; she asked before taking another look at the dragon and with the shock of seeing them cumming into beakers well behind her, she recognized him. &ldquo;Y-You&rsquo;re that dragon from the mating season. Uh, Apollo, right?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;It&rsquo;s been a while,&rdquo; he greeted her with a wave from his free hand. &ldquo;I heard you, uh, we had a daughter.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Yeah,&rdquo; she nodded. &ldquo;Blue Moon. She&rsquo;s back home in Ponyville.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Maybe I could stop by and visit her sometime,&rdquo; he asked her.<br /><br />&ldquo;If you want,&rdquo; nodded Starlight. She could hear a quill scratching on parchment as Sunburst was writing stuff down. He stopped writting shortly after she stopped talking. &ldquo;She&rsquo;s already gotten so big and even talking a little bit.&rdquo; She paused from speaking when Sunburst started writing some more.<br /><br />&ldquo;Well, next chance I get, I&rsquo;ll fly right over,&rdquo; he told her happily.<br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;m sure Blue-&rdquo; Starlight paused hearing Sunburst write as she spoke. &ldquo;-will be- -be happy to- see you t- Sunburst! What are you writing?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;m recording your conversation,&rdquo; he explained. &ldquo;From what I&rsquo;ve learned from Apollo here, about seventy percent of dragons remain with their mates after the mating season to raise their offspring. Twenty percent is the mother raises the child on their own and the remaining ten percent is the father acts as a solo caregiver. So far, it seems like the majority of you and your friends have been caring for your children without their fathers, save for Rarity and Spike, but I did hear that Rainbow Dash&rsquo;s mate-&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Mates,&rdquo; corrected Starlight.<br /><br />&ldquo;Yeah, they all have come to help her raise her child,&rdquo; he continued. &ldquo;So, for whatever reason they are coming, and I believe the others might show up too before long that the same paternal instinct is still working despite having mated with ponies.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;And so that&rsquo;s why you had us both come,&rdquo; figured Starlight. &ldquo;To see if we&rsquo;d have this connection?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Partly, but you&rsquo;ve also had a connection with me in the past,&rdquo; he reminded her.<br /><br />&ldquo;In the past being the key phrase here,&rdquo; she commented. &ldquo;You were the one who ended it.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;We both agreed we weren&rsquo;t ready when our parents brought it up,&rdquo; he stated. &ldquo;We weren&rsquo;t ready for that kind of a commitment.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I remember,&rdquo; she nodded averting her eyes a little. &ldquo;And all this is purely for the sake of research?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Starlight, it&rsquo;s me,&rdquo; he chuckled. &ldquo;The big research nut who writes research papers of research papers. You know me better than anyone, right? We&rsquo;re friends after all.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Right&hellip; friends.&rdquo;<br /><br /><br />&ldquo;Here we go again, Blaze,&rdquo; spoke Ember as she held the railing of the spinning wheel at the park. &ldquo;Hold on tight.&rdquo; With a steady enough force, Ember tugged the wheel to make it start spinning at a moderate speed. Blaze giggled as she held on tight and enjoyed spinning around.<br /><br />&ldquo;M-re&hellip; M-ore,&rdquo; Blaze tried to say, her speech showing bits of improvement with each passing day.<br /><br />&ldquo;Like that? Want some more?&rdquo; Some more giggles and a little nod was all she needed to confirm this and with a bit more strength, Ember spun her daughter faster.<br /><br />&ldquo;Look at you!&rdquo; cheered Ember. &ldquo;You&rsquo;re flying super fast!&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Heheheh,&rdquo; Blaze giggled. &ldquo;Ma- Ma- Mama!&rdquo;<br /><br />Ember gasped hearing this for the first time from her daughter. &ldquo;Oh, Blaze!&rdquo; she cried happily, hopping onto the spinning wheel and lifted her daughter up to hug. &ldquo;That is wonderful!&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;What&rsquo;s wonderful?&rdquo; asked Spike as he pushed Blue and Nova over in their stroller.<br /><br />&ldquo;Oh, you just missed it,&rdquo; Ember told Spike as she carefully got back onto stationary ground and walked over to him. &ldquo;Ember called me, &lsquo;mama.&rsquo;&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;She did?&rdquo; he smiled. &ldquo;Ugh, and I missed it.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Come on, sweetie, say it again,&rdquo; urged Ember as she tickled Blaze&rsquo;s belly.<br /><br />&ldquo;Sometimes I can&rsquo;t believe you&rsquo;re the same dragon warrior I met all those years ago, capable of tossing a dragon twice your size like a ragdoll,&rdquo; joked Spike.<br /><br />&ldquo;I still am,&rdquo; she reminded him. &ldquo;And you wouldn&rsquo;t want to know what I&rsquo;d do if anyone would lay a claw on our daughter.&rdquo; The words she spoke with had a very powerful murderous intent behind them that was enough to make Spike&rsquo;s inner fire turn cold with fear.<br /><br />&ldquo;Ma- Mama!&rdquo; spoke Blaze again, quickly dispelling the terror Ember was exuding, much to Spike&rsquo;s relief.<br /><br />&ldquo;Awe, she said it again,&rdquo; Ember stated happily and nuzzled her daughter with the greatest of joy.<br /><br />&ldquo;That&rsquo;s awesome,&rdquo; cheered Spike. &ldquo;Come on, Blaze. Now say, &lsquo;dada.&rsquo;&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Sp&hellip; ke&hellip; Spoi&hellip; ke&hellip;&rdquo; she tried saying. &ldquo;Sp...oike&hellip; Spoike.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Sh- She said my name,&rdquo; cheered Spike jumping for joy. &ldquo;She said my name.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Heheh, she sure did, Spoike,&rdquo; snickered Ember.<br /><br />&ldquo;Well, close enough anyway,&rdquo; replied Spike. &ldquo;Now, come on, Blazey. Now say, &lsquo;dada.&rsquo;&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Spoike,&rdquo; she giggled. &ldquo;Spoike.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Sp&hellip; oike,&rdquo; Blue and Nova started to giggle too. &ldquo;Spoike.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Awe, you should be so happy,&rdquo; chuckled Ember. &ldquo;They all know your name, Spoike.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Come on,&rdquo; Spike said pleading a bit. &ldquo;Can&rsquo;t you try to call me, &lsquo;dada,&rsquo; or &lsquo;daddy,&rsquo; or even, &lsquo;papa?&rsquo;&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Spoike,&rdquo; she replied reaching out and clutching Spike&rsquo;s nose.<br /><br />&ldquo;Fine,&rdquo; he conceded. &ldquo;Spoike it is.&rdquo;<br /><br />After a taking Blue and Nova out of their stroller and placing all there of the babies onto the spinning wheel, Ember began to gently spin them once more. &ldquo;So, how was Twilight doing?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;She was fine,&rdquo; he answered. &ldquo;Heh, she was even getting herself ready for a date.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;A date?&rdquo; questioned Ember before grumbling. &ldquo;Please don&rsquo;t tell me this town is having another festival or something? It has one like every other day.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;No, this is a date, like in she&rsquo;s going to spend some special time with someone,&rdquo; he explained.<br /><br />&ldquo;With a book?&rdquo; she replied sounding unsure. &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t think I&rsquo;ve ever seen Twilight show any interest in any stallions&hellip; unless&hellip; she isn&rsquo;t doing something with Starlight, is she?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;No&hellip; at least nothing I&rsquo;m aware of,&rdquo; he admitted. &ldquo;But Starlight isn&rsquo;t even here, so, that&rsquo;s a moot point. She&rsquo;s actually meeting that dragon she got together with during the dragon mating season. Apparently they&rsquo;ve been keeping in touch and he&rsquo;s finally come over to visit.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I guess I&rsquo;m just a bit surprised,&rdquo; she admitted as she gave the spinning wheel another push to keep it going. The three babies were enjoying the ride and a few colts and fillies hopped on for a ride as well. &ldquo;No offense to Twilight, but she&rsquo;s always seemed too focused on books and studying to ever even look at anyone else.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;That&rsquo;s actually been the case for as long as I can remember and I was pretty much by her side for all my life and most of hers,&rdquo; Spike told Ember. &ldquo;She was very terrible with friendship before she was sent to Ponyville, but when it came to her and dates she was even more hopeless. Half the time I think she thought she was doing some one-on-one tutoring and ended up boring her date away. Then there was Flash Sentry, but that road ended before it even began.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Sounds like things are going to crash and burn if Twilight is as bad as you say she is,&rdquo; commented Ember. &ldquo;I&rsquo;d actually be curious to take a peek.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;You can&rsquo;t!&rdquo; cried Spike, shocking Ember with his sudden outburst.<br /><br />&ldquo;Why not?&rdquo; she asked curiously.<br /><br />&ldquo;Well, when Twilight has dates, you see,&rdquo; he struggled to find the words to tell her. &ldquo;And while it isn&rsquo;t anything dangerous, it tends to get rather cramped after a while when she uses that spell.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;m sorry, but you aren&rsquo;t making any sense,&rdquo; Ember told him. &ldquo;Didn&rsquo;t you just say that Twilight was hopeless with dates and what&rsquo;s this about a spell?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;It&rsquo;s just what Twilight told me to tell anyone who ever asked her about her dating life,&rdquo; Spike admitted nervously. &ldquo;I guess the best way to describe it is that Twilight found out that sex was a great way to relieve stress and she liked doing it&hellip; a lot. Of course, she didn&rsquo;t want want anyone else to know the Princess of Friendship had this side of her and made sure to wipe the memory of most of what happened in bed. She also cast another spell to ensure nobody else could interrupt them either. I&rsquo;m one of the few who even know about this. That&rsquo;s why I know it is much safer to be as far away from Twilight as possible when she is going on a date.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;d feel more concerned about it, if it was just about anyone else, but this is Twilight we&rsquo;re talking about,&rdquo; Ember stated. &ldquo;How bad could it be? Also, where did all these little kids come from?&rdquo;<br /><br />Spike looked at the spinning wheel and saw that over a dozen other fillies and colts were now on board, holding on to enjoy the ride. &ldquo;Faster! Faster!&rdquo; they cheered from the fun they were having.<br /><br />&ldquo;Heh, the spinning wheel was always one of my favorites when I was a kid too,&rdquo; chuckled Spike.<br /><br />&ldquo;Then why not have a ride,&rdquo; insisted Ember as she gave him a little shove to push him onto an empty spot.<br /><br />&ldquo;Uh, Ember,&rdquo; Spike stuttered nervously as he saw her spit on her hands and grab one of the railings tightly. &ldquo;Remember, there are little kids on this thing.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Oh, right,&rdquo; she agreed, slowing it down to a stop. She helped Blue, Nova, and Blaze off and onto the ground. &ldquo;Come on everyone. Time for Spoike to have a turn.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Spoike! Spoike!&rdquo; all the little kids giggled.<br /><br />&ldquo;Oh, come on!&rdquo; groaned Spike before Ember spun the wheel with all her might, making it move so fast all that could be seen of the dragon was a purple and green blur. &ldquo;Whoa!&rdquo; Everything was spinning around him and the poor dragon was quickly getting dizzy and a bit nauseous as a result. &ldquo;Ember! Get me off this crazy thing!&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;More! More!&rdquo; the little kids cheered.<br /><br />&ldquo;Looks like you&rsquo;re outvoted,&rdquo; Ember chuckled and spun him around some more.<br /><br /><br />In her library, Twilight was keeping herself busy putting away books back on the shelves. As she did, her ears were eagerly awaiting a knock at the door and every couple of minutes she couldn&rsquo;t help trotting over to the peek through the peep hole to look as well.<br /><br />&ldquo;Oh, I hope he gets here soon,&rdquo; she worried looking at the clock. &ldquo;He said he&rsquo;d get here at noon and that&rsquo;s fifteen minutes away.&rdquo;<br /><br />On cue with that thought, Twilight heard the knock on the door she had been longing for and dashed over, opening it with magic while she was still running to it. On the other side was a scholarly-looking dragon with cobalt scales over most of his body and sky blue ones on front. His eyes were purple with a pair of black rounded frame glasses over them. He had a pair of short, curved horns atop his temple. He had about three short, white spike running from the crown of his head to the back of it and then more going down his back to just over his waist. His tail was only spiked on it at the end in the shape of star similar to Twilight&rsquo;s Cutie Mark. Standing at roughly five feet tall, he was hardly as muscular or bulky as most dragons. Even Spike, a few years prior, would have been able to overpower him with brute strength and he had gotten even stronger since then.<br /><br />&ldquo;Salutations, Twilight,&rdquo; he greeted her as she reached the door. &ldquo;I hope you don&rsquo;t mind me arriving early.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;No,&rdquo; she smiled. &ldquo;I find it very attractive to arrive the professional fifteen minutes early before the attended appointment.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;And I thought I was the only one,&rdquo; he murred as he proceeded into the castle. &ldquo;So, what did you have in mind for our date? A debate over the most influential period of magic? Maybe a game of Information Hoarding? There was also a organization system I had been working on for shelving books I&rsquo;ve been meaning to try out.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Oh, sweet Celestia! Where have you been all my life you?&rdquo; Twilight nerded out. &ldquo;It all sounds so wonderful, but I was actually thinking of something a bit kinkier for us to do. A bit of magical fun in the bedroom.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;That was my next suggestion,&rdquo; he replied with an eager grin on his face. &ldquo;Let&rsquo;s go to your bedroom then.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Follow me,&rdquo; said Twilight barely able to close the door before there was another knock on it. &ldquo;Who is it now?&rdquo; Opening the door, she discovered it was the mayor of Ponyville. &ldquo;Mayor Mare? What are you doing here?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Hello, Twilight,&rdquo; she greeted her. &ldquo;I came by to tell you that the Annual Friendship Festival is coming up and was hoping you&rsquo;d be able to her plan the itinerary.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Don&rsquo;t I always do that?&rdquo; she reminded her. &ldquo;Wasn&rsquo;t I also the one who started the first ever Friendship Festival?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Then I guess I can leave it to you then,&rdquo; she replied, but didn&rsquo;t take her leave. Rather, she poked her head in, eyeing her draconic date. &ldquo;If you don&rsquo;t mind me being a bit nosey, care to tell me who your friend is?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;This is Prometheus,&rdquo; answered Twilight looking at Mayor Mare who was clearly here for some juicy info to gossip about. &ldquo;And he&rsquo;s here as a friend.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;A friend-friend&hellip; or something more,&rdquo; she inquired, likely not going to give up till she bled Twilight for every little detail.<br /><br />&ldquo;Just a friend,&rdquo; answered Twilight before using her magic to lift the mayor up and place her outside. &ldquo;Now, if you&rsquo;ll excuse me, we have matters to attend to.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;What ki-&rdquo; she tried to ask before Twilight shut the door.<br /><br />&ldquo;It&rsquo;s going to be a problem if she won&rsquo;t stop interrupting us,&rdquo; commented Prometheus.<br /><br />&ldquo;The life of a princess,&rdquo; she sighed. &ldquo;So many ponies come to me for advice or something and more often than not it is when I am busy doing something&hellip; or someone.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;But,&rdquo; added Prometheus giving her an intrigued look at what she would say next. Seeing the look of curiosity in his eyes, Twilight smirked and let him wonder a bit more while Mayor Mare was as persistent as ever at the door. &ldquo;There is a but, right?&rdquo; he asked again.<br /><br />&ldquo;Of course there is,&rdquo; the princess nodded and gave one of his cheeks a rub. &ldquo;But before we get to yours, I&rsquo;ll make sure we don&rsquo;t get interrupted.&rdquo; Twilight&rsquo;s horn glowed and Prometheus watched with intrigue. He expected to see something amazing, but there was nothing, just the sound of a sudden &ldquo;Zap!&rdquo;. &ldquo;There we go.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Uh, what just happened?&rdquo; he asked her.<br /><br />&ldquo;Don&rsquo;t you notice that the knocking stopped?&rdquo; she pointed out and sure enough, the Mayor was no longer knocking on the door.<br /><br />&ldquo;You made her leave?&rdquo; he wondered as he reached for the door, but with her magic, Twilight kept him from touching it.<br /><br />&ldquo;Don&rsquo;t touch that door,&rdquo; she warned him. &ldquo;I made a barrier around the outside of the castle. Anyone who touches it will be sent somewhere where they won&rsquo;t be able to bother us, another dimension that I have dubbed, &lsquo;The Friend Zone.&rsquo;&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;So, is she going to be trapped there forever?&rdquo; Prometheus questioned Twilight as he stepped away from the door cautiously.<br /><br />&ldquo;Just till I decide to let her go,&rdquo; she confirmed while making her way to her bedroom. &ldquo;And this way, we can have all the fun we want in the meantime. So, let&rsquo;s get going and you can get another chance to observe the unique biology of an Alicorn. I hope you brought plenty of paper for note taking.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I brought a whole stack of college-ruled scroll paper and a #2 phoenix feather,&rdquo; he flirted.<br /><br />&ldquo;Keep talking nerdy like that and you&rsquo;ll have me cumming before we even get to bed,&rdquo; she murred sexily. As they made their way towards her room, the faint sounds of more zaps could be heard every so often from more ponies unexpectedly getting sent to the Friend Zone.<br /><br /><br />&ldquo;I am starting to have second thoughts about this,&rdquo; admitted Starlight as she sat at a table with Apollo. Sunburst was in the other room getting everything ready for the study. &ldquo;Maybe I shouldn&rsquo;t do this. All this is just too weird.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;m sorry if this is so strange,&rdquo; Apollo apologized. &ldquo;I wouldn&rsquo;t have come here if I had known it&rsquo;d make you so uncomfortable. From the way he made it sound, you were eager to see me again.&rdquo; He looked over to the beakers of seed that he had Sunburst had filled earlier, his nearly overflowing while Sunburst couldn&rsquo;t manage more than filling up halfway. &ldquo;It has been pretty weird for me too.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;You don&rsquo;t have to apologize,&rdquo; she told him. &ldquo;I am happy to see you. You gave me my child, Blue, after all. It&rsquo;s just&hellip; I kinda wished that it had happened with Sunburst. Not that there&#039;s anything wrong with-&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I understand,&rdquo; he smiled at her. &ldquo;You like him a lot, don&rsquo;t you?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;More than I&rsquo;ve ever loved anyone,&rdquo; she nodded. &ldquo;But he doesn&rsquo;t feel the same way I do.&rdquo; The sad pony let out a sigh and lowered her head. &ldquo;He just made that abundantly clear.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;If you need someone to vent to,&rdquo; he offered. &ldquo;I am here to lend an ear.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Thanks, but it is my problem to deal with,&rdquo; she explained. &ldquo;And I talked with Twilight about it plenty of times. Apparently, she thought I might go on a tyrannical rampage or attempt to destroy all of Equestria.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Heh, guess your friend takes things a bit too seriously,&rdquo; Apollo chuckled.<br /><br />&ldquo;Sometimes, though not with this,&rdquo; admitted Starlight. &ldquo;I nearly destroyed all of Equestria due to Sunburst leaving me a long time ago when we were little kids. This time, I might skip the time travel and just annihilated the planet from the inside out.&rdquo; Apollo looked at her with a stare that showed he didn&rsquo;t know how to respond. &ldquo;I was just kidding about that last part,&rdquo; she confessed. &ldquo;I wasn&rsquo;t going to destroy the planet&hellip; much, but you get the idea of how much pain I was in. And now, he asks me to come here to be a part of this whole experiment with you like he doesn&rsquo;t know I had feelings for him. Ugh, sometimes I think he can only see whatever crazy thing he is researching.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Well, if that&rsquo;s true,&rdquo; the red dragon commented. &ldquo;He&rsquo;s currently studying you. Maybe this is your chance to get him to&hellip; notice you.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Oh,&rdquo; smiled Starlight. &ldquo;The way you paused at the end, you must have something devious in mind.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;He wants to observe us, well, let&rsquo;s really play it up,&rdquo; he explained. &ldquo;Enough to see if he really does have feelings for you. If he does, there&rsquo;s no way he&rsquo;ll let it continue and end up flying into a jealous rage.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I can already imagine the look on his face,&rdquo; chuckled Starlight. &ldquo;Ok, let&rsquo;s do it.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I finally found those candlestick holders,&rdquo; said Sunburst as he made his way back into the room looking quite dusty after searching the furthest corners of his storage closet. Shaking himself clean, he then got to work finishing setting up. His horn glowed as he had a couple plates, glasses, candles, and the candlestick holders, along with a candle in each, float around him. He set them up properly between the two test subjects like they were about to have a romantic meal together. &ldquo;So, did you two have any romantic-type flirtations while I was in the other room that I should jot down?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Uh, actually&hellip; yes,&rdquo; lied Starlight. &ldquo;As we were just sitting here chatting, we started recalling all the fun we had during the mating season and before we knew it&hellip; we were, uh&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Lost in each other&rsquo;s eyes,&rdquo; finished Apollo when he saw Starlight was starting to flounder.<br /><br />&ldquo;Fascinating,&rdquo; remarked Sunburst as he started writing. &ldquo;And what were you two feeling as you-&rdquo; He paused when he heard the sounds of making out and watched as the two attempted the best fake passionate kiss they could manage. &ldquo;Uh, I&rsquo;ll just put down &lsquo;very, very much in love.&rsquo; Let me just grab the food and we&rsquo;ll start the experiment.&rdquo;<br /><br />Walking off again, Apollo and Starlight unlocked lips and watched him leave, without so much a giving them one jealous glance. &ldquo;Well, either Sunburst has no feelings for me at all, he&rsquo;s too wrapped up in his research to care or he&rsquo;s got the best poker face I&rsquo;ve ever seen,&rdquo; sighed Starlight as she slumped back in her chair.<br /><br />&ldquo;Looks like we&rsquo;ll have to kick things up a notch,&rdquo; suggested Apollo.<br /><br />&ldquo;I just hope my stomach can handle all this sweet lovey dovey stuff,&rdquo; she gagged. &ldquo;Being deceitful and devious is one thing, but let&rsquo;s try and keep it just shy of a spontaneous song number.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Agreed,&rdquo; he nodded before Sunburst returned with a plate of spaghetti.<br /><br />&ldquo;I hear this is supposed to be one of the most romantic meals,&rdquo; he explained as he placed it between them. So, just start eating and pretend I&rsquo;m not here.&rdquo;<br /><br />Looking at one another and then at Sunburst who stared at them unblinking and quill at the ready to write, the two subjects for the love test awkwardly thought of what to do. It was Starlight who made the first move as she used her magic on her fork to spin some spaghetti on it. Then, bringing it over to Apollo&rsquo;s maw, she fed it to him.<br /><br />&ldquo;Here you go&hellip; my smoopie whoopie bear,&rdquo; she spoke trying to play it up only to end up getting the dragon&rsquo;s muzzle messy with sauce.<br /><br />&ldquo;Oh, that&rsquo;s really&hellip; yummy, my pretty little gemstone,&rdquo; Apollo played along and forked some more spaghetti to feed to Starlight, his aim better than Starlight, but he tried feeding her too much and ended up getting her face just as messy as his was anyway.<br /><br />&ldquo;Mmm, so gooooood,&rdquo; she spoke back trying to act content with all this, but it was very obvious how poorly they were performing. At least, it was terrible, but Sunburst just scribbled some more notes and kept on watching like it wasn&rsquo;t so obvious. &ldquo;Now it&rsquo;s your turn to have some,&rdquo; Starlight continued to say as she twirled her fork on my spaghetti and aimed it at Apollo who opened his maw as wide as possible to give her as easy a target as possible. This time, she managed better, though his chin still ended up getting hit and covered with sauce as she fed him.<br /><br />&ldquo;Stop right there!&rdquo; Sunburst called out all of a sudden, making both their heart&rsquo;s jump.<br /><br />&ldquo;What&rsquo;s the matter?&rdquo; asked Starlight with hope in her eyes. &ldquo;Is the sight of all this making you blind with jealous rage?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;No, it&rsquo;s nothing like that,&rdquo; he answered with a chuckle as he pulled out a camera. &ldquo;I just wanted to take some photos to go alone with this. Just act natural and try not to look like you&rsquo;re looking at the camera.&rdquo; The two were beside themselves as he took a picture of their messy faces and then placed the camera down. &ldquo;Alright, keep going.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;This is going to be a lot harder than we thought,&rdquo; sighed Apollo.<br /><br />&ldquo;Tell me about it,&rdquo; grumbled Starlight as she was fed more spaghetti.<br /><br /><br />&ldquo;Mmm, you&rsquo;re so warm,&rdquo; murred Twilight as she embraced Prometheus in her bed. &ldquo;A proper 248 degrees for a dragon in heat if I&rsquo;m correct. Of course, with your heat resistant scales you only feel about a comfortable 120 degrees.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Heheh, you are such a nerd,&rdquo; he chuckled as hugged her tighter and kissed her nose. &ldquo;Such a sexy brain you have. Tell me more.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;d love to,&rdquo; she nodded and kissed his cheek.<br /><br />&ldquo;Well, well, well,&rdquo; smirked Chrysalis flying over Twilight&rsquo;s castle. She tasted the air and licked her chops. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m not quite certain what is going on in there, but I sense a great amount of love within. Oh, how wonderful of the Princess of Friendship to go through the trouble of preparing a meal for me to go along with my revenge on her and that accursed Starlight Glimmer! I&rsquo;ll swoop in and claim my vengeance before they even know what hit them!&rdquo;<br /><br />Letting out a savage growl, the Changeling Queen swooped down, planning to fly right through the balcony of the castle, horn already hot with magic. She could see the inside of the castle and nothing was going to get in her way this time!<br /><br />&ldquo;Buzzap!&rdquo; She didn&rsquo;t even make it inside before Twilight&rsquo;s spell got her and she vanished along with all those who had attempted to disturb her earlier.<br /><br />&ldquo;Did you hear something just now?&rdquo; asked Prometheus as he watched Twilight nosing against his crotch before licking it to help coax his member out.<br /><br />&ldquo;I think my little spell zapped another pest coming to bother us,&rdquo; she guessed as she started to suck on his dragonhood as soon as it poked out.<br /><br /><br />Chrysalis found herself in the dark void located within a completely alternate dimension. Down below her she saw Mayor Mare along with a number of other ponies including Big Mac, Sugar Bell, Lyra, and Bonbon.<br /><br />&ldquo;What is this place?&rdquo; Chrysalis hissed as she flew down to the ponies. &ldquo;Where are we?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;m not sure,&rdquo; Mayor Mare answered nervously. &ldquo;One minute we were in front of Twilight&rsquo;s castle and the next we were here.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Then I take it none of you know how to escape this accursed realm either,&rdquo; Chrysalis figured and saw them all shake their heads. &ldquo;Well, if you can&rsquo;t help me escape this wretched place then all you are good for is food! Now give me your love!&rdquo; Her horn glowed an evil green hue as she used her magic to life the mayor of Ponyville into the air. There was nothing she could do as Chrysalis opened her maw to extract all the love she possessed within her, but nothing came out. Hissing, Chrysalis tried again, but still not even a drop of love could be found.<br /><br />&ldquo;What is this?&rdquo; cried Chrysalis. &ldquo;Why do you not possess any love?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I don&rsquo;t know,&rdquo; the mayor answered fearfully. &ldquo;Ever since I&rsquo;ve been in here I haven&rsquo;t felt particularly in love with anything.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Don&rsquo;t lie!&rdquo; countered the queen of the Changelings. &ldquo;You&rsquo;re an elected official, aren&rsquo;t you? At the very least you&rsquo;re in love with yourself.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;It&rsquo;s the same with us,&rdquo; admitted Sugar Bell. &ldquo;I can&rsquo;t feel even a bit of love for Big Mac.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Nope,&rdquo; nodded Big Mac looking sad.<br /><br />&ldquo;Us too,&rdquo; spoke Lyra as she and Bonbon kissed one deeply with tongue. Everyone around them stared in awe the entire time till their lips finally parted.<br /><br />&ldquo;See, normally that&rsquo;d be filled with a passion hotter than a thousand suns,&rdquo; explained Bonbon. &ldquo;But now there&rsquo;s nothing.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;And everyone else here is the same?&rdquo; asked Chrysalis, verifying this lack of love was consistent and saw it was indeed true. &ldquo;Then love does not exist in this plane of existence. Just where in Tartarus has Twilight Sparkle sent us?&rdquo;<br /><br /><br />&ldquo;I think you&rsquo;re all warmed up,&rdquo; said Twilight as she rubbed her hoof up and down the impressive dragon cock, letting our murrs as she felt her pussy tongued by her mate.<br /><br />&ldquo;Mmm, you are too, love,&rdquo; he replied as he tasted her sweet nectar before planting a kiss upon her lower lips. &ldquo;So, are we all set to begin?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Oh, I&rsquo;m more than ready,&rdquo; she told him as she floated a rather lengthy scroll over to him. When he had one end in his claws, she released her magic upon it and let the rest of it unroll onto the ground and reach close to the wall before the end was revealed.<br /><br />&ldquo;Fetish List,&rdquo; he read at the top and then saw a large list of kinks, many of which made his dick twitch as he read them. As he read a chunk of what was on there, Twilight eyed his cock to see how many times it reacted and smirked seeing it do so a number of times. When Prometheus finally stopped, he looked down at Twilight. &ldquo;So, are these really all your&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Everything that I found that turns me on,&rdquo; she finished for him. &ldquo;Quite a lot, I know, but I&rsquo;ve spent countless hours and had countless mates to fully understand just how my body functions, including what gives it pleasure. So, tell me, which of my fetishes matches yours? Judging from the number of times your cock throbbed I&rsquo;d say we&rsquo;ve got plenty to choose from for our date.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;If I can choose any that I want,&rdquo; he replied, a bit intimidated by how forthcoming she was, but at the same time all the more excited. &ldquo;Why not a little food play? We can have some fun and get something to eat at the same time. If we&rsquo;re gonna be sexing all day then we&rsquo;d best ensure we have the stamina for it.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;An astute choice that I&rsquo;d have suggested myself,&rdquo; stated Twilight as she praised him with a lick across his shaft. &ldquo;Time for a little food conjuring magic.&rdquo; Her horn glowed and in several flashes, a variety of different foods appeared on the bed like strawberries, whipped cream, donuts, and plenty more for them to have fun with. &ldquo;Anything else you think we&rsquo;ll need?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Oh, this&rsquo;ll be plenty,&rdquo; Prometheus smiled as he watched Twilight check to see how many donuts he could fit on his cock. Chuckling a bit, he plucked up a strawberry and pushed it partly into her pussy and then covered it over with a big glob of whipped cream. &ldquo;My favorite treat,&rdquo; he joked while licking his chops playfully.<br /><br />&ldquo;Then eat your fill,&rdquo; encouraged Twilight as she reclined back and leaned over to his crotch to admire her own little donut stack snack she made. Holding it in her hooves, she munched on some of them and then gave his shaft a long lick. &ldquo;You&rsquo;ll need all the energy you can muster for all the fun we&rsquo;re going to have.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I think the fun has already started,&rdquo; he murred and licked up the whipped cream, cleaning up her crotch and breasts with his delicate serpent&rsquo;s tongue. He was very thorough in licking up every last bit and even licking at her crotch after to make her squirm and giggle.<br /><br />&ldquo;Heheh, fun indeed,&rdquo; she agreed and plucked the last donut off of his cock to eat, biting off half of it before offering him the other half. He was more than happy to nom that piece up and then pressed his lips to her pussy as he sucked the strawberry out of it, forcing a blissful moan from her. &ldquo;Oh, Celestia, yes!&rdquo; Taking some chocolate sauce, she drizzled it over his junk and then fit the entire thing into her maw, eager to savor the sweetened treat.<br /><br />&ldquo;Now, don&rsquo;t have too much fun,&rdquo; moaned Prometheus. &ldquo;Wouldn&rsquo;t want to end this when we just got started.&rdquo;<br /><br />Twilight heard this and slowly pulled out, her tongue gliding across his shaft teasingly and almost made him spurt his load right then if he hadn&rsquo;t resisted the pleasure. &ldquo;No, we can&rsquo;t have that,&rdquo; she swooned. &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve been looking forward to this for far too long. Besides, it&rsquo;s about time we moved onto some more fetish fun.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Have anything in mind for what to do next?&rdquo; he asked as his heart pounded with eagerness.<br /><br />&ldquo;I do indeed,&rdquo; she smirked as her horn glowed and pulled his feet over to her face. She sniffed his feet, inhaling deeply. Snickering as her whiffs tickled his feet, Prometheus pressed them firmer against her face and watched her hug them tight and continue to embrace them.<br /><br />&ldquo;Heheh, you certainly do,&rdquo; laughed the dragon as he felt her start to lick his soles and looked at her soles to do the same.<br /><br /><br />&ldquo;Nothing seems to be working,&rdquo; gasped Starlight for air. She was frustrated after spending the last twenty minutes making out with Apollo and finally had to stop to breathe. They were sitting before a backdrop of the night sky full of glittering stars and a big, full moon. Sunburst had even let loose fireflies in the room to make it feel more like a romantic Summer&rsquo;s night for them, though most of the insects had flown off elsewhere in the house before long.<br /><br />&ldquo;Is it possible for any creature to be this&hellip; dense?&rdquo; the dragon asked quietly so Sunburst wouldn&rsquo;t hear.<br /><br />&ldquo;Wow, that&rsquo;s incredible!&rdquo; exclaimed Sunburst as he looked at his stopwatch. &ldquo;Do you two know how long you were both making out for?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Uh, I&rsquo;m not sure,&rdquo; replied Starlight with a nervous chuckle. &ldquo;When I&rsquo;m with my uh, woopie darling draggie poo, it feels like time is just standing still.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I should have figured that,&rdquo; chuckled the ever oblivious pony. &ldquo;When two love birds like yourselves are together everything else in the world just seems to vanish till just the two of you are left. You probably forget I was even here for a little while or even that this was just a test.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Why?&rdquo; asked Starlight, hoping that last remark had some jealousy behind it. &ldquo;Did it bother you?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Bother me?&rdquo; he repeated. &ldquo;Not at all. I&rsquo;ll get better results the more naturally you both react to this. Now, there&rsquo;s one last test and then we&rsquo;re done. Just give me a minute to get it set up upstairs.&rdquo;<br /><br />They watched him hurry away, looking to be enjoying all this way more than the two of them. &ldquo;I stand corrected,&rdquo; sighed Starlight. &ldquo;Maybe he is that clueless&hellip; or maybe he really doesn&rsquo;t have any feelings for me to become jealous.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Well, there&rsquo;s only one way to know for sure and it&rsquo;s the final test,&rdquo; admitted Apollo.<br /><br />&ldquo;Thank Celestia,&rdquo; commented Starlight. &ldquo;Oh, no offense. I like you just fine, but&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;m no substitute for the one you really love,&rdquo; he finished for her. &ldquo;I know and I&rsquo;m okay with it. It&rsquo;s his loss if he can&rsquo;t see what&rsquo;s right in front of him.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Everything&rsquo;s all set,&rdquo; Sunburst called down to them. &ldquo;You can come up now.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I got one more chance to make him see,&rdquo; she commented. &ldquo;What&rsquo;s this final test anyway?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;The only thing we haven&rsquo;t done yet,&rdquo; Apollo told her as they came upstairs and saw the big bed made out for them with rose petals all over it and the floor. &ldquo;Sex in bed.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Oh, uh, great,&rdquo; she replied nervously as they entered the bedroom and saw exactly how Sunburst had gotten it ready, making the room lit by candlelight and lit incense to hide the typical musty smell his home possesed. He had even enchanted a violin to play some romantic music. &ldquo;You certainly went through a lot of trouble to set this up, just for an experiment. Do we even really need all this stuff if it is just sex?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Of course we need all this stuff. I honestly wish I could have done more,&rdquo; Sunburst admitted. &ldquo;Anyway, what other time would we need to use all this stuff anyway?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Maybe for real, unscientific sex,&rdquo; Starlight answered under her breath.<br /><br />&ldquo;Did you say something?&rdquo; asked Sunburst.<br /><br />&ldquo;Just that I can&rsquo;t wait to get started with Apollo,&rdquo; she lied. &ldquo;All this music and, uh, rose petals really turns me on.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Well, don&rsquo;t mind me,&rdquo; he instructed the two love birds. &ldquo;Just do what feels natural.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Move over osmium, when it comes to density you&rsquo;re a distant second to Sunburst,&rdquo; thought Starlight as she got into bed and under the blanket on one side. Apollo did the same on the other.<br /><br />As the dragon looked at her, he could see the less than eager look on her face. &ldquo;We don&rsquo;t have to do this if you don&rsquo;t want to,&rdquo; he spoke quietly enough so Sunburst couldn&rsquo;t hear.<br /><br />&ldquo;No, it&rsquo;s fine,&rdquo; she sighed. &ldquo;When I decided to do this, I planned to see it through to the end. If this doesn&rsquo;t even effect Sunburst in the slightest of ways then there really is nothing between us at all.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;If that&rsquo;s the case, then he really is an idiot,&rdquo; commented Apollo. &ldquo;Those glasses he has on have to be for show if he can&rsquo;t see what he has right in front of me.&rdquo;<br /><br />His words got a chuckle out of Starlight that Sunburst promptly took note of, yet still not even the slightest look of irritation from him. &ldquo;Guess we&rsquo;d best get started,&rdquo; Starlight told Apollo as she climbed on top of him and gently brushed up against his chest as he ran his claws gently down her back.<br /><br />&ldquo;This brings back memories of when we first met,&rdquo; noted Apollo. &ldquo;As we embraced one another in the dragon lands, it was such a magical time.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Most of that was a bit of a blur while I was under the influence of lust,&rdquo; admitted Starlight. &ldquo;But I do recall getting enveloped by something blissfully warm.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;You mean this?&rdquo; smiled Apollo as he covered her body with his wings as he hugged her tightly.<br /><br />&ldquo;Yeah,&rdquo; she murred and looked up at him a bit happier. &ldquo;This does feel really familiar. And then I think we kissed? I remember a warmth against my muzzle next.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I believe we did,&rdquo; he nodded and moved his head forward, pressing his lips against hers as he used one of his hands to caress her cheek. Compared to the overly long kiss from before, this one was much briefer and filled with tons more passion.<br /><br />&ldquo;And then we took the plunge,&rdquo; panted Starlight actually getting into it.<br /><br />&ldquo;Quite eagerly at that,&rdquo; he added.<br /><br />&ldquo;I remember the feeling I had back then,&rdquo; she moaned as she felt his cock pressed against her crotch and the lower half of her belly. &ldquo;I didn&rsquo;t want to admit it to anyone back then, not even to Twilight, but I was really depressed. Something had happened, but meeting with you, it made me feel better.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;It distracted you from it?&rdquo; he asked as he felt her wiggle around getting into position to slide down and take his dragonhood inside of her.<br /><br />&ldquo;That isn&rsquo;t exactly right,&rdquo; she admitted. &ldquo;I think it was more like a placebo, if that makes any sense.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I think I&rsquo;m starting to understand,&rdquo; he spoke softly to her as he ran his claws through her mane before his eyes widened a bit. &ldquo;Uh, but perhaps we shouldn&rsquo;t.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Why not?&rdquo; she asked as she breathed in his sent and began to buck her hips giving them both a feeling of euphoria. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m feeling better already.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;But last time-&rdquo; he started to say, but he suddenly found his mouth clamped shut magically by Starlight&rsquo;s glowing horn.<br /><br />&ldquo;Shh,&rdquo; she hushed him. &ldquo;Let&rsquo;s just enjoy this.&rdquo; When her horn stopped glowing, he could freely use his jaw once more.<br /><br />&ldquo;If you insist,&rdquo; he conceded and he kissed her on her nose while she picked up her humping speed.<br /><br />&ldquo;Oh, feels so wonderful,&rdquo; she moaned as she wrapped her hooves around his body while he rubbed her back and made his way down to her flank, rubbing and groping her firm rear. All the while, Sunburst kept on taking notes in silence. The music of the violin became muffled as the sounds of sex grew louder. First, there was Starlight and Apollo&rsquo;s hastened breathing and the slapping of their crotches as their pre sloshed and squished as dick slipped in and out of pussy. Then there was the bed that rocked and creaked beneath their combined weight as they bounced up and down on it. Finally, moans of bliss escaped their lips as the pleasure made their bodies convulse from the overwhelming sensations.<br /><br />Eventually, the blanket covering the two of them over came off, exposing their love-making bodies that didn&rsquo;t pause as Starlight jammed his sheath deep into her once more and let out another lust-filled moan.<br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;m close,&rdquo; he nibbled at her ear.<br /><br />&ldquo;I can tell,&rdquo; she answered as she felt his chest with her hooves. &ldquo;Y-You&rsquo;re so hot. Filled with such a wonderful warmth. I love it.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;What can I say?&rdquo; he chuckled. &ldquo;It comes with being a dragon.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;m ready when you are,&rdquo; she told him as she looked deeply into his eyes.<br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;m ready,&rdquo; he answered as he clenched her cheeks and pushed his cock back into her just in time as his dick pulsed and finally shot his spunk into her, filling her with his warmth.<br /><br />&ldquo;Oh!&rdquo; she moaned with bliss as she reveled in the pleasure. &ldquo;Oh, so wonderful. I love you. I love you, Sunburst!&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;She said it again,&rdquo; thought Apollo as he saw the look on her face after she realized what she had said as well, a mix of surprise and tension. Quickly, she got off of Apollo and turned to Sunburst who seemed just as shocked by this. &ldquo;Sunburst, I-&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Wow, you really got into it,&rdquo; he replied, his voice somewhat shaky, but he managed to keep most of his composure. I got some really great data from all this.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Data!&rdquo; snapped Starlight as her eyes started to water as she grew terribly upset. &ldquo;That&rsquo;s all you care about! I love you Sunburst! I always have and even now I do, but clearly you still see us as just friends.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;But Starlight-&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I thought that finally you were ready to confess your love to me,&rdquo; she sniffled. &ldquo;That you were going to be the one in that bed with me.&rdquo; Tears blurring her vision, Starlight rubbed them away and then headed back downstairs. &ldquo;I can&rsquo;t be here anymore&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Wait! Starlight!&rdquo; he cried, but his words didn&rsquo;t reach her.<br /><br />&ldquo;It doesn&rsquo;t look like this turned out how you expected it to,&rdquo; commented Apollo. &ldquo;But if you wanted to break her heart then you&rsquo;ve clearly succeeded.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;That&rsquo;s not what I wanted,&rdquo; Sunburst stated sadly. &ldquo;Not at all.&rdquo;<br /><br /><br />&ldquo;I think this was my favorite one so far,&rdquo; murred Twilight, clad in purple scales as she had taken on the form of a dragon while Prometheus had been turned into a Pegasus Pony. &ldquo;The sleek design, the strength, oh, and the greed and desire I&rsquo;m filled with is so intense. Murr! How are dragons able to focus on anything else when every fiber of my being is lusting for you?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Dragons are usually greedy for more things than sex,&rdquo; Prometheus replied, the winged horse suddenly the smaller one in the relationship and quickly found that to be something to dread as Twilight looked upon him with eyes full of longing. He curled his body up, shaking a little as he felt incredibly vulnerable while not coated in a thick layer of scales. &ldquo;Plus, I think you might be a tad too horny to begin with.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Perhaps,&rdquo; she admitted before smirking quite deviously at him. &ldquo;Now loosen up and give me that cock! I haven&rsquo;t had my fill yet.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;But isn&rsquo;t ten times enough,&rdquo; he whimpered. &ldquo;We&rsquo;ve done food play, foot fetish, bondage, species swap, and plenty of other things. I know this might be the pony me talking, but&hellip; couldn&rsquo;t we just cuddle for a while?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Oh, you&rsquo;re obviously just a bit drained from the sex we already had,&rdquo; Twilight told him, using her draconic strength to easily move his legs away from his crotch to expose his flaccid member. It wasn&rsquo;t that he was no longer attracted to the purple vixen. Quite the opposite, he was only getting turned on more as she pressed her lush melons against his face while she ran her claws gently through his mane. He was just as she had put it, out of gas while her tank looked as full as ever.<br /><br />&ldquo;Not doing it for you?&rdquo; she asked before turning around to give him a face full of her bare buttocks as she maneuvered her tail around the back of his head and fondled his package with it. He could smell the lust radiating from her crotch and it was oozing desire like she had been sex starved for weeks. Prometheus couldn&rsquo;t help wonder just what kind of monster had he gotten into bed with. &ldquo;Still no good?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;S-Sorry,&rdquo; he apologized. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m out of stamina and there&rsquo;s nothing you can do about that.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Oh, can&rsquo;t I?&rdquo; she grinned as she got out of bed and coiled her poor mate up on her tail as she hurried through her home and down the stairs.<br /><br /><br />&ldquo;Princess Twilight!&rdquo; bellowed Tirek outside her castle, monstrously large and ready for revenge. &ldquo;I know you&rsquo;re in there! Now, prepare to suffer my wrath!&rdquo; He rushed at her castle, aiming to smash it to bit as the start of his payback. However, like so many others before him, the second he even came in contact with the castle, he was zapped away to the other dimension, his zap more like a massive bolt of lightning mixed with a crash of thunder due to his size.<br /><br />&ldquo;Another one?!?&rdquo; cried Chrysalis as practically all of Ponyville was trapped within the Friend Zone with her as well as a large number of other ponies and creatures who came to visit Twilight as such an inopportune time. With Tirek added, it made their already cramped situation even worse. &ldquo;How much longer does she intend to keep us here?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Ugh, where are we?&rdquo; groaned Tirek as he looked around. &ldquo;What is this place?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Pretty much a prison for anyone that goes near the castle,&rdquo; groaned Chrysalis, flying onto his shoulder just for the fact there was more space there than on the ground. A number of the ponies and other creatures climbed onto him thinking the same thing.<br /><br />&ldquo;Hey! Get off me!&rdquo; snapped Tirek, really irked by this as he tried swatting them away, but he barely had room to move himself. &ldquo;This is worse than Tartarus! Let me out! Do you hear me Princess Twilight? Let me out of here!&rdquo;<br /><br /><br />&ldquo;Sounds like we got a big one this time,&rdquo; chuckled Twilight as she carried her mate to the basement of her castle and into a dark room filled with a number of old scrolls and potions that looked like they hadn&rsquo;t been touched in quite some time. For a place within the Castle of Friendship, it appeared like something one would find in a more fiendish locale.<br /><br />&ldquo;Where are we?&rdquo; he wondered quite nervously as Twilight locked the door behind them.<br /><br />&ldquo;Just my private study,&rdquo; she answered as she wiped the dust away from the bottles of potions to read their labels. She stopped when she found the one she wanted, a long skinny vile of green liquid. She picked it up and pulled off the rubber stopper to sniff the contents like she was checking to see if it had passed its expiration date. The sinister smirk that spread on her was evidence enough that it hadn&rsquo;t. Maneuvering Prometheus over to her front side she brought the potion to his lips intent to make him drink it. &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve wanted to try this potion from Zecora&rsquo;s for ages. I won&rsquo;t get a better time than now.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;What&rsquo;s that supposed to do?&rdquo; he wondered with a very worried look on his face. The potion was just a slight tilt away from running out of the vile and into his maw.<br /><br />&ldquo;Just something to help get you back in action,&rdquo; she explained. Just gulp it down and you&rsquo;ll begging for more of my pussy.&rdquo;<br /><br />Without any choice as Twilight started to give it to him, Prometheus drank down the contents, the taste repulsively bitter that he spat trying to get the taste off of his mouth. As he did, he noticed his body started to change, scales returning and replacing the pony hair that currently covered his body. At the same time, Twilight was replacing scale with hair. Her long, thick tail shrank as it also reverted to normal and released Prometheus as it lost its dexterity.<br /><br />&ldquo;Looks like my species swap spell decided to wear off,&rdquo; commented Twilight still smirking as she looked at Prometheus, her head at first looking down at him and slowly changing to up as their sizes switched back to normal.<br /><br />&ldquo;Oh, murr,&rdquo; groaned Prometheus with revitalized lust. He rubbed his crotch as his dick hardened up once more. &ldquo;Why do I get the feeling you had all this planned out?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Maybe a little,&rdquo; she admitted, rubbing his shaft and watched it leak pre. &ldquo;Looks like you&rsquo;re all set to go again.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Terribly so,&rdquo; he nodded, so horny he reached down to fap himself off, but, with her magic, Twilight kept his claws at bay.<br /><br />&ldquo;No, no, no,&rdquo; she told him as she teased his cock with one hoof and rubbed his balls with the other. &ldquo;These are my toys to play with.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;F-Fine,&rdquo; Prometheus conceded. &ldquo;Then let&rsquo;s get to humping. That potion worked too well!&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;One more moment,&rdquo; Twilight told him with a devious smirk on his face. &ldquo;First, let&rsquo;s make some improvements on your equipment.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Improvements?&rdquo; he wondered, but only for a moment as he felt Twilight&rsquo;s magic flow over his cock and balls and penetrate them. Dragonhood twitching and pulsing, its size began to increase despite him already being at his full length. It just kept on swelling larger, getting longer and thicker before both their eyes.<br /><br />Prometheus was average for a dragon of his size, but quickly his cock grew large enough to be the envy of all dragons. His balls had a similar fate as they were enlarged too, quickly reaching a thickness comparable to watermelons as they hung down from his crotch and rest on the floor. Prometheus was speechless at his improved endowment and was only certain he had stopped growing once Twilight hugged and brushed up against his length, giving the head a lick to taste his pre as it oozed out far more intensely thanks to his bigger balls.<br /><br />&ldquo;Mmm, NOW you&rsquo;re ready,&rdquo; Twilight stated as she reclined back onto the floor and spread her legs. &ldquo;Give me all you got, big guy.&rdquo; She gave him a wink and like every fibre of his being was telling him to do just that.<br /><br />Prometheus shoved his thick dick into her pussy, practically orgasming into her the second he did. &ldquo;Oh, this feels so good!&rdquo; he wailed with ecstasy as Twilight cried with a mix of pleasure and pain at receiving his a big rod into her so forcefully.<br /><br />&ldquo;Yes it does,&rdquo; she agreed, seeing the lower half of her abdomen bulge where his cock pressed against it. Her insides were burning hot from his rod and only added to the feeling of heat she was experiencing. It was a feeling of pleasure greater than any she had ever known before. &ldquo;Oh, this feeling of euphoria&hellip; it&rsquo;s beyond words or logic. It it wonderful! I want more! Keep humping and pounding! The day&rsquo;s far from over and I&rsquo;m not nearly satisfied yet!&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I have to agree with you there,&rdquo; he murred as he pinned her front legs on the ground and began humping into her with incredible vigor, their wails echoing through the catacombs beneath the castle.<br /><br /><br />&ldquo;Starlight! &ldquo;Starlight!&rdquo; called Sunburst as he searched the streets of the Crystal Empire. The sun was setting and it was already getting harder to see. &ldquo;Starlight, where are you?&rdquo;<br /><br />After circling around the area three times, he paused to catch his breath by the statue of Spike. His mane had become more a frazzled mess than usual in his frantic search. Taking a seat, he held his head, unable to think about what to do. &ldquo;I screwed up,&rdquo; he cried. &ldquo;I messed things up again. Now Starlight probably wants nothing to do with me. She&rsquo;s probably at the station about to leave me forever!&rdquo;<br /><br />After saying that, a look of excited revelation hit him. &ldquo;She&rsquo;s at the station!&rdquo; Getting up, he could hear the sound of the train&rsquo;s whistle as it was quickly approaching the Crystal Empire. In a panic, he raced off again, praying that he&rsquo;d make it in time.<br /><br />&ldquo;We&rsquo;ve arrived at the Crystal Empire,&rdquo; called the conductor as ponies disembarked on one side and started to get on from the other. &ldquo;All aboard for the following stops, Canterlot, Ponyville, and Appaloosa!&rdquo; He watched as the ponies boarded the train till only Starlight remained, staring at it with an uncertain sadness in her eyes. &ldquo;Lady, are you boarding or not? We&rsquo;ve got a schedule to keep.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Yeah, I&rsquo;m coming,&rdquo; she sighed and started forward to the train.<br /><br />&ldquo;Starlight!&rdquo; called out Sunburst as he hurried onto the platform, just in time to see her stepping foot onto the train. &ldquo;Please! Please don&rsquo;t go!&rdquo;<br /><br />Sounding it&rsquo;s whistle one more time, the locomotive&rsquo;s wheels started to turn slowly as it left the station. Black clouds billowed out of the smokestack as the train picked up speed and before long it was racing out of the Crystal Empire and through the cold, arctic north.<br /><br />&ldquo;Sunburst,&rdquo; spoke Starlight calmly as she stood on the platform once more, looking at the nerdy Stallion, exhausted and wheezing from running all the way over. &ldquo;What is it? Was there another experiment you forgot to conduct?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Starlight, I-&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Well, you can forget it,&rdquo; she snapped at him. &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t even know what I am to you anymore if this is why you called me all the way out here. I thought you cared for me, or, at the very least liked me.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Starlight, I love you,&rdquo; he told her.<br /><br />&ldquo;Yeah, that&rsquo;s great, but that doesn&rsquo;t-&rdquo; she started to say, but quickly came to a stop after realizing what he had said. &ldquo;You&hellip; love me?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Yes,&rdquo; he nodded. &ldquo;I do. I love you, Starlight.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Oh&hellip; well,&rdquo; blushed Starlight more confused now than ever. &ldquo;She turned away to hide her face from him. &ldquo;You, uh, certainly have a weird way of showing it, making me do all those experiments.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;The truth is, Starlight,&rdquo; he admitted. &ldquo;They weren&rsquo;t tests. I was&hellip; trying to get you to move on from me.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;m sorry,&rdquo; she told him. &ldquo;The more you are trying to clear things up, the more lost I&rsquo;m getting.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Remember that dinner we had with our parents way back,&rdquo; he told her. &ldquo;You know&hellip; the one that ended in a complete disaster.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;That narrows it down to every dinner we have with them, but I assume you are talking about the one when your mother asked when we were going to get married and give them grandkids.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Y-Yeah,&rdquo; the orange stallion sweated even worse than when he had been running. &ldquo;That one.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;What about it?&rdquo; she wondered. &ldquo;Those kinds of awkward questions are standard for parents to always ask their kids.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I know that and I lied saying we didn&rsquo;t like each other that way,&rdquo; he continued. &ldquo;Even when we both took the plunge and&hellip; did it. I remember we made a promise to tell them what they had been longing to hear for years.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Which you didn&rsquo;t,&rdquo; she sighed. &ldquo;Admittedly, I was hurt when you said we weren&rsquo;t in a relationship and then you started avoiding me, ignoring my letters and keeping yourself busy with work.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I couldn&rsquo;t face you,&rdquo; Sunburst told her. &ldquo;Commitment frightened me and like a coward I ran away from the problem&hellip; again.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Well, if not for Twilight, I might have done something foolish too,&rdquo; Starlight confessed to help ease his own guilt. &ldquo;Possibly total world destruction levels foolish.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;You kind of did destroy the world,&rdquo; he stated. &ldquo;Mine anyway&hellip; during the mating season.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;How was,&rdquo; Starlight started to say until the pieces started to come together. &ldquo;You thought we were over because of that? Because I got pregnant and had a daughter? I may not have intended for that to happen, but I am not sorry that happened. I am happy to have Blue in my life, but that never meant it was over for us. In a way, I may have wanted all that just to get back at you&hellip; to hurt you.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I was hurt, but I was happy that you had a chance at motherhood. Because&hellip; I&rsquo;m just no good at it.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;You&rsquo;re no good at motherhood?&rdquo; chuckled Starlight. &ldquo;Well, the right spell could fix that.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;No, not that,&rdquo; he corrected himself feeling a bit embarrassed. &ldquo;You turned out ready to be a parent and I still am not. I don&rsquo;t know if I&rsquo;ll ever be and I didn&rsquo;t want you and Blue to be waiting for someone who might never come around. That wouldn&rsquo;t be right, which is why, I tracked down the dragon you mated with and together we set up this whole elaborate ruse to try and help you two fall in love.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Then you set this up for me?&rdquo; questioned Starlight. &ldquo;And that whole cumming into a test tube when I arrived was part of it too?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I figured if you walked in on something that awkward you wouldn&rsquo;t doubt what I was doing,&rdquo; he admitted. &ldquo;Also, it was the single most embarrassing thing I&rsquo;ve ever done, but I did it all for you. Despite how well everything was working out, it failed at the end. I don&rsquo;t know what went wrong.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Maybe the fact that it failed from the very start,&rdquo; Starlight said, this time being the one to explain things. &ldquo;I didn&rsquo;t know this was a setup or that Apollo was in on it too. In fact, he was the one who suggested we go along to try and get you jealous. The one thing I don&rsquo;t get is if he knew this wasn&rsquo;t going to work in the first place, why did he even suggest it to me?.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Looks like all the pieces are finally coming together,&rdquo; stated Apollo as he flew down onto the platform to join them.<br /><br />&ldquo;Why&rsquo;d you suggest we do all that to get Sunburst jealous if you knew he wanted to get us together?&rdquo; she questioned him.<br /><br />&ldquo;Well, first off,&rdquo; he answered. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m a dragon of my word so I couldn&rsquo;t just blab the truth out to either of you. Secondly, I figured this would all work out in the end if you two care this much for one another. Finally, it was a lot of fun too. Heheh, I can&rsquo;t say I didn&rsquo;t enjoy it, awkwardness and all.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;That kinda makes sense, I guess,&rdquo; Starlight said pondering all that over. &ldquo;I didn&rsquo;t realize how far you would go for my happiness.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;And, though I hid it well, I was burning with jealousy the entire time,&rdquo; Sunburst confessed as he showed Starlight a bottle filled with a red cloud. &ldquo;I have like a dozen of these filled with my blind rage back in my house. Every chance I got, I had to empty out my anger.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;We better take care of them before something happens,&rdquo; suggested Starlight. &ldquo;But, right now, I&rsquo;m just glad to know that we can finally be together.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;d love to be with you, Starlight,&rdquo; he nodded. &ldquo;But I&rsquo;m still not sure if I&rsquo;m ready.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I wasn&rsquo;t ready for a child either,&rdquo; she told him. &ldquo;But I don&rsquo;t think anyone is. Even so, you take responsibility anyway and make it through somehow. Just come back to Ponyville with me and you&rsquo;ll see. Everything will be fine. Blue will be fine. We will be fine.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Well, after this,&rdquo; smiled Sunburst. &ldquo;I realize that I don&rsquo;t want you to spend your life with anybody else, but me.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Hearing you say that makes everything we&rsquo;ve been through completely worth it,&rdquo; smiled Starlight as she pressed her lips to Sunburst who embraced her in a passionate kiss.<br /><br />&ldquo;Well, looks like my work here is done,&rdquo; stated Apollo while they were still making out. &ldquo;If you guys come up with any more complicated plans that require a dragon or something, come get me. You guys are a hoot and a half.&rdquo; Taking off into the sky after saying that, Apollo headed for home while Starlight and Sunburst continued their embrace.<br /><br /><br />&ldquo;Where did the day go?&rdquo; yawned Ember as she and Spike pulled the two strollers, Ember pushing the one with Blaze in it while Spike took care of the one with Flare and Blue in it. All three babies were sound asleep, tuckered out after a full day of playing.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;The day goes by fast when you&rsquo;re nauseous,&rdquo; commented Spike.<br /><br />&ldquo;Oh, I didn&rsquo;t spin you around that much,&rdquo; she snickered. &ldquo;But that was a lovely shade of green you turned.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Ha ha ha,&rdquo; Spike fake laughed. &ldquo;Daddy always has to look like a dopey clown in front of the kids. Why can&rsquo;t mommy?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;You play the part so well,&rdquo; Ember chuckled. &ldquo;No sense in even competing.&rdquo; Ember then came to a stop and looked around curiously. Spike stopped and watched her. &ldquo;Hey, isn&rsquo;t Ponyville kinda deserted?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Now that you mention it, there isn&rsquo;t a soul around,&rdquo; realized Spike as he looked around too. &ldquo;Don&rsquo;t tell me Twilight isn&rsquo;t done yet.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Not done?&rdquo; wondered Ember. &ldquo;You mean, she&rsquo;s still doing it, but it&rsquo;s been hours. How horny can one pony be?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;You don&rsquo;t wanna know,&rdquo; shivered Spike as they made their way back to the castle. Ember approached the steps to knock on the door, but, quick to act, Spike stopped her. &ldquo;Don&rsquo;t take another step,&rdquo; he warned her and received a confused look. &ldquo;Just trust me on this. We&rsquo;ll know when it&rsquo;s safe to go back inside. There&rsquo;s a signal.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;What kind of signal?&rdquo; she asked as the ground around them started to rumble. &ldquo;I-Is this an earthquake.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;No, but I have a feeling it&rsquo;s-&rdquo; Spike started to say as they held the baby carriages steady. Then, out of the Castle of Friendship, a beam of magic fired out of it and into the sky, bursting like a firework in the shape of a heart. &ldquo;That&rsquo;s the signal, Spell Number 69. Looks like she&rsquo;s finally done.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Why do I have the feeling I don&rsquo;t wanna know,&rdquo; commented Ember as she watched Spike approach the castle and open the door without getting zapped away to the friend zone.<br /><br />&ldquo;Because you really don&rsquo;t,&rdquo; he told her and walked back down to carefully bring the carriage with Blue and Flare up them and into the castle. Ember followed after him with Blaze and they made their way towards Twilight&rsquo;s library.<br /><br /><br />Meanwhile, outside, one after another, all the ponies and other creatures that had been trapped in the Friend Zone started to return in a flash of magic. Quickly, they all hurried away, rushing home till only Chrysalis and Tirek remained.<br /><br />&ldquo;I don&rsquo;t know what all that was about, but I will get my revenge!&rdquo; the queen of the Changelings hissed.<br /><br />&ldquo;And I will get my revenge too!&rdquo; snarled Tirek. The two then just stood there, not daring to go near the castle, unsure if it was actually safe to do so now. &ldquo;Uh, after you,&rdquo; offered Tirek.<br /><br />&ldquo;No, you can get your revenge first,&rdquo; she replied. &ldquo;My vengeance can wait.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I insist, ladies first,&rdquo; he told her and gestured for her to go.<br /><br />&ldquo;My, certainly the gentleman,&rdquo; she smiled. &ldquo;How about we put a pin in this whole vengeance thing and go find some ponies to feast upon.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;That depends,&rdquo; he asked her running his fingers through his beard. &ldquo;What part of the ponies do you feast upon?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Their love,&rdquo; she answered just drooling at the thought and famished from her time in the Friend Zone.<br /><br />&ldquo;I eat their magic,&rdquo; he told her.<br /><br />&ldquo;Really now,&rdquo; she said as they started to walk away together. &ldquo;That&rsquo;s very interesting. And is that why you&rsquo;re so huge?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Strong too,&rdquo; the big, red beast bragged as he flexed his muscles. &ldquo;Not the biggest I&rsquo;ve been, but if I can get my hands on a few Alicorns I might be able to fix that.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Does it make you bigger down there too?&rdquo; the black, bug pony creature asked as she blushed.<br /><br />&ldquo;Heh, well, maybe I&rsquo;ll let you see for yourself, tonight,&rdquo; he offered her as they walked off together.<br /><br /><br />&ldquo;We&rsquo;re back,&rdquo; Spike greeted Twilight and Prometheus as they entered the library to find them sorting books. &ldquo;How was your date?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Very fun,&rdquo; smiled Twilight as she placed a few books on the shelf. &ldquo;We&rsquo;ve just about finished reorganizing the shelves.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;How many times did you do that?&rdquo; smirked Spike in a knowing voice. &ldquo;Ten? Twenty?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I think we just did it once,&rdquo; answered Prometheus as he yawned. &ldquo;Though I am having a but trouble recalling most of what happened during. It feels like I blinked and the whole day flew by. I must&rsquo;ve really enjoyed myself, though, cause I feel really good.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I told you booksortcations are very therapeutic,&rdquo; Twilight stated. &ldquo;We should do this again sometime&hellip; maybe next week.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Perhaps we could join you,&rdquo; suggested Ember. &ldquo;We&rsquo;re practically family, after all.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Um, no, I&rsquo;m sure we&rsquo;ll be busy then,&rdquo; worried Spike.<br /><br />&ldquo;Nonsense,&rdquo; chuckled Ember with a devious glint in her eyes. &ldquo;It sounds like a great stress reliever.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;You&rsquo;re more than welcome to come,&rdquo; agreed Twilight. &ldquo;I can even show you some of my tricks&hellip; for proper book sorting.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Sounds good to me,&rdquo; smirked Ember. &ldquo;We&rsquo;ll see you two next week then, but right now, we should be getting home.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Ok, see you two later,&rdquo; Twilight called to them.<br /><br />&ldquo;Bye,&rdquo; waved Prometheus.<br /><br />&ldquo;See ya,&rdquo; Spike said before turning to Ember. &ldquo;Why do I get the feeling I&rsquo;m going to regret your decision?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Oh, you need to loosen up a little, Spoike,&rdquo; replied a snickering Ember.<br /><br />&ldquo;You&rsquo;re never going to let that die, are you?&rdquo; he questioned her.<br /><br />&ldquo;Nope.&rdquo;</span>",
