The Lost One

A month later after my seventeenth birthday party I decided to go and visit the badlands to see if they are similar. I arrived and remembered why I had taken this long foot trip. All the mares had gone into heat and a lot of stallions went traveling like I did. The heat only lasted for a month so I thought it wouldn't be too bad. I couldn't be safe anywhere in Ponyville even at Fluttershy's. Fluttershy and me knew that we liked each other from our actions, but we didn't admit it just yet. Even with this world messing with my age a bit she was still four years older than me which could have things be a little awkward in my opinion. The badlands looked just like the pictures I saw on earth in the textbooks. I quickly set up a camp as it was night time. I saw another fire near my campsite once it was set up, so I headed over to it hoping to meet someone friendly. I brought my sword with me, but not my suit of armor. The thing was too hevay anyways and I would never use it.

As I approached I questioned,"Friend or Foe?"

"Friend." a deep voice responded and I walked into the camp seeing a middle aged white coated stallion.

"Hello." I said waving before I sat down next to him on a rock.

"Hi, what brings you here, Amos?" he responded.

"Getting away from the mares in heat...and how do you know my name?"

"Almost everyone knows you. You're Princess Celestia's son. The only human in Equestria. The Element of Sympathy. Oh and I'm Law and Order." He answered and I saw a gavel on his haunches so it made perfect sense to me.

"So, what brings you here then?" I asked.

"Same reason as you. Mares get crazy in heat and I wanted to be away from other stallions."

"Then I'll be going, see ya." I said seeing his hint that he wanted to be alone.

"Bye." I heard Law and Order call after me.

When I arrived back at my camp I just decided to go to sleep. I immediatly did.

The rest of the month was spent in the sun where it was very hot. Me and Law and Order saw each other on few
run in occasions. We would sometimes go to the same dead tree for firewood. The month was soon up and I packed
up and walked out of the badlands.

I decided to run since I missed all my friends in Ponyville. I got to Fluttershy's cottage early. I walked in seeing her not outside and went up to my room. I put my stuff away before falling asleep on my bed with the same sweat soaked clothes I had on.

When I awoke, I was greeted by heat on my left. Fluttershy was there snuggled against me, her head on my chest and her hooves wrapped around me sloppily. Her legs were trembling a bit, I knew something wasn't right. I looked at the calendar and saw that I accidently left on the wrong day. There were still two more days of heat left. I scowled my mistake then tried to go back to sleep. It didn't come for another hour.

I awoke finding myself in Fluttershy's large bed. It was nighttime as I looked at the window. I heard the door creak and slammed my eyes shut, pretending to sleep. I heard hoofsteps towards the bed on the other side. I felt Fluttershy climb in and snuggle close to me. I felt like I wanted to cuddle her close to me, which I did. I pulled her even closer to me, wrapping my arms around her. This was a mistake. She now knew I was awake. I mentally scorned my sympathy for others. She began to speak.

"I thought you were asleep..." she said.

"I...uh...was pretending." I gave in.

"Well as long as you are awake..." she said as she smiled coming closer to my face putting her hooves on my shirt.

"Fluttershy..please don't..." I pleaded shifting closer to the edge of the bed.

"Why not?" she asked in a seductive voice, "You know it will be fun..."

"I-I'm not even of appropriate age..." I said with a blush on my face as she put her hooves under my shirt and started to lift it up. When she was in heat she didn't even fit anything of her personality.

"This is Equestria. Your rules don't apply..." she said in that same seductive voice as before.

"I-It wouldn't sit right with me...."I said as I pushed my shirt back down and purposely fell off the bed.

"Pleeeasse....I want you so badly..." Fluttershy was now pleading a trace of her love juice slowly trailing down her leg.

"I'm sorry, but no means no." with that I ran to my room closed the door and locked it.

I heard Fluttershy pleading and knocking on the door. I ignored it the best I could. I quickly grabbed some clothes and my sword, I hoped I wouldn't have to use it on anypony or threaten them with it, with a few other items before I climbed out the window holding a suitcase. I jumped once I was close enough to the ground. I then walked silently to the front door opened it slowly, making no sounds. I still had socks on which was great since I didn't make a single noise. I went into the kitchen and grabbed a few apples, oranges, and other fruit with some carrots and tomatoes. I grabbed my bag at the front door and put the items in it. I slung the bag over my shoulder then got my shoes on. I went to walk to the door. I heard hoofsteps coming down the stairs.

"Amos, is that you? Come to me please..." Fluttershy said, pleading.

She came into my sight and saw me. She slowly started to walk over to me. I felt really bad for the trouble she must be going through.

"Sorry, Fluttershy. I feel really bad, but you can't have me yet..." I said, but I felt frozen. I couldn't move My sympathy had struck me hard.

"Please...just for tonight?" Fluttershy was slowly walking towards me staring at me with some sort of need.

"Maybe when I'm of the age..." I backed towards the door slowly before I opened and bolted out it.

I ran into Ponyville and started to sneak around to Twilight's library. I looked through the window and saw
Twilight.

"Spiikke! Where are youuu?" she said.

I knew she just wanted Spike because he was a male. I saw the purple dragon under the table. He saw me and
mouthed, 'help me'.

I slowly pried the window open and jumped through the it leaving my suitcase outside with my sword in the ground. Twilight whipped towards me as I made a loud landing noise.

"Amos? Oh perfect! You can help me with my 'problem'..." she said also wanting what Fluttershy wanted.

"No way! I didn't even let Fluttershy. I'm just here to save Spike. I know he is going through a lot and couldn't get out of here." I ran to the table and slid under it.

I grabbed Spike on my way through then stood up and put him on top of my bag. He clung tight. Twilight was running towards me her horn glowing. I ran to the window. Upon my landing inside the library earlier I knocked a book down. While I turned around to see Twilight I stepped on the book and slipped. Spike still clung to me. I scrambled to my feet and grabbed the window about to climb through it again. I felt a pull on my leg.

"Come on, Amos. Don't leave me like this..." Twilight begged. There was a glow on my foot that matched her
horn.She was trying to pull me back in.

"Twilight, stop!Don't do this to, Amos.You'll break Fluttershy's heart."Spike said trying to help.Twilight still
didn't let go.

"I feel really bad for all of you.I really do.But, this wouldn't sit right with me at all."I said finally
pulling myself out of the window breaking Twilight's grasp.

I grabbed my suitcase and pulled my sword from the ground.Twilight had ran out the door to try to get me.A few other mares saw me from outside their windows where they were trying to do unspeakable things.They had ran out of their houses towards me.I ran towards Fluttershy's cottage.There were about twelve to fourteen mares following me including Twilight who was the closest to me. I was still out of the range of her magic grasp. As I approached Fluttershy's the beating of hooves behind me made much noise and I could barely hear Spike.

"Watch out!" Spike yelled and pointed to a sex-hungry Fluttershy in front of me between her cottage and the chicken coop.

"AMOS! You came back to me. You really did want me."

"Not in that way, Fluttershy!" I yelled over the loud thumping of hooves behind me.

"Come back here, Amos. You have to help me!" Twilight pleaded behind me.

As I closed the distance between me and Fluttershy she began to fly. Her hooves were outstretched to hug me. "Sorry, Fluttershy. I would be with you if I was the appropriate age." I said.

"What are you going to do?" Spike asked clinging to my bag.

"This..." I replied and built up my magic into my feet causing a lot of heat.

Heavy fire blasted me high, far, and fast over Fluttershy. I went even faster than Rainbow Dash on average. I made sure the flames didn't start a fire. I landed next to the dirt path leading into the Everfree forest. Spike was shocked and clung tighter to the strap of my bag. I looked back while crouching.

"I'm sorry for you all. Especially you, Fluttershy." I said and stood up turning to the Everfree.

"You aren't going in there, are you?" Spike said with some fear in his voice.

"It is the only place I can go to. Unless you feel like going to the Badlands."

"Everfree it is." Spike said quickly deciding as the mares were closing on us.

Fluttershy was almost at me. She was about six feet away. I threw my sword into the ground and ran to her. I quickly gave her a hug and whispered in her ears.

"I'll be back in two days. I promise." I then rubbed her head ruffling her mane before slipping down through her grasp.

I ran back toward the Everfree. Spike was shocked at what I just risked for the both of us. I grabbed my sword and pulled it out of the ground while I ran.

"I love you, Fluttershy." I yelled back.

"Amos, please come back and rut me..." Fluttershy pleaded as she stood there with the other mares.

They were too scared of the forest to follow me as I ran through the path and deep into the forest.

"Dude, you are crazy." Spike said while I slowly to a walk and he walked beside me.

"For hugging Fluttershy or going in here?"

"Both." he replied.

"Well, I didn't want to leave my special somepony wondering when I was going to come back. And this was the only somewhat safe place nearby." I did consider Fluttershy to be in a relationship with me somewhat.

"Yeah, but have you even been in the Everfree?" Spike asked.

"Not really. But it can't be that bad. I did pack my things with some food before I ran out of Ponyville."

"It is pretty bad!" Spike retorted.

"Then I could have just left you with Twilight."

"Oh yea...Thanks for saving me."

"No problem. I still feel really bad for them all."

"Whatever. Anyways, we should find someplace to rest." he said yawning.

We had later found a small area surrounded by rocks that was pretty flat. I set up a makeshift tent from the sticks and blankets I brought. I had made a campfire but didn't light it since we were both pretty tired. Spike went inside the tent, bundled up a blanket, and fell asleep. I laid my sword next my bed made from blankets. I climbed in and fell asleep as well exhausted from all the running and jumping I did.

I awoke before Spike did early in the morning. I heard some timberwolves nearby. I opened the tent to see where
they were. One was staring at my face a foot from me.

"Oh, shit..." I said as I felt the handle of my sword behind me. I gripped it. I didn't mean to say that, but it just sorta slipped.

I pushed it back from the tent entrance fast and climbed out of the tent. There were three others of them. Spike woke up from all the growling and noises outside.

"Wha...what's going on?" he said as he rubbed his eyes and climbed out of the tent.

"Visitors..." he ran back inside the tent scared.

I charged them and picked one up in my left hand, carefully to avoid its attacks, and swiped another down in front of me. The other two were close by. One leered at me soon after I dispatched the first of them. He went to bite upon my neck. I swung the timberwolf I had holding in my left hand in front of me. He was bitten by his kin. I dropped it quickly then sliced them both with one strike. The three wolves remains floated and flung into the forest. I cut down the last which was about to run. Its pieces then followed where the others have gone. Spike saw me slay the wooden devils.

"Wow, they're right. You might be awesomer than Rainbow Dash."

"Don't say that to Rainbow, but I did have some lessons at Canterlot and Shining Armor even gave me one with some tips. Anyways, we have two days out here.some fruit and vegetables are in the tent if you want them." I walked back inside and ate a tomato with two carrots before stepping back out.

"You know I eat gems..." Spike said sounding annoyed.

"Then you are not going to eat for two days I guess. Now I'm off to get onto my schedule. Gotta stay in shape."

"Whatever, I am going back to sleep." Spike said as he returned to the inside of the tent.

I started climbing a tree to search for some water source so I could then have some drink during my exercise. I saw a small pond with a stream flowing into it nearby.It looked clean enough. I ran across the branch I was on and jumped to another. I hung on it with my forearms. It was a long way down from what I saw. I started to swing as I slipped to my free hand with the other holding the sword. I let go going forward fast. I landed on a lower branch near the pond. I was a good mile away from the tent. The pond was much bigger here.

I dropped down and scooped some water.I splashed my face reflecting on everything I had done. I then scooped up another and drank. Scoop after scoop I drank greedily. It replenished some of my energy. I had heard a deep growl on my left after a while of my water filling.

"Not something else..." I said as the growling approached.

A manticore jumped out from the trees. Its tail was dripping a purple liquid which was the poison that would keep me in a critical state if it broke my skin. I really wished I had brought my armor even if it wasn't too thick. I picked up my sword to the
right of me and stood in a battle stance. The manticore growled and charged at me.

I jumped back as it swiped its tail low at my feet. I zoomed forward and ducked a claw strike before slicing its chest causing its blood to mist and spray over my clothes. It roared in pain as I struck again. It grabbed me with its huge paw trying to end its agony.

"Let me go!" I screamed.

Some green powder sprayed in its face as it slammed me on the ground and raised a paw up. It was temporarily blinded. I would thank my rescuer later. I quickly dashed up and stabbed my sword through a paw and sliced one of its legs deep. The manticore turned away and ran as fast as it could with its injuries. I puffed breath out and heaved it in. I turned behind me and saw a friendly Zebra.

"Oh no...Don't tell me you want me to rut you also..." I said worrying I was going to have to run.

"You have this all wrong. I made my trouble begone." Zecora had said.

"Oh, thank Celestia. I just made it out of Ponyville once I had come home too early. I have Spike here with me back at our small campsite .Anyways, thanks. I could have died there." I said.

"I was only helping out a friend. If you want, a bed I can lend." she responded with her rhyme.

"No thanks. I should be getting back to Spike now."

She said her good bye as I ran back to the campsite .I decided to stay there where it was safe.

"Oh, you're back." Spike said as he was sitting outside the tent.

"Yea, went to go get some water and ran into a manticore. Not the one that Fluttershy tamed."

"How did you even survive!?" Spike said excited.

"Well, Zecora threw some powder into its eyes and blinded it. I chased it off. I would have been dead if it wasn't for her."

"But, wouldn't she be like the other ponies?" Spike asked.

"No, she said she had gotten rid of the feeling. Probably with some potion."I responded and put my sword inside the tent. The manticore's blood had slid off while I ran so the blade shone again.

Spike and me stayed at the campsite for the rest of the day and talked till it was night. The campfire was lit using Spike's fire. About an hour or two later we put it out with some water and went to sleep.

I was first to awake and thought to myself. One more day to go. I went down to the pond fast and drank some
water quickly before returning to the campsite and eating.

"I'm soooo hungry..." Spike complained.

"Well, tonight we can head out early if you want."

"Yes, that would be great!" he shouted. I felt sympathetic toward the starving dragon.

I started to pack the tent up. I pulled the sticks out and laid them nearby. I packed the blankets into the suitcase with my blood stained clothes that I changed out of the night before. I had eaten the little leftover food that was still there.Spike and me talked a bit. I started to feel a sharp pain in my back from where the manticore slammed me down.

When the moon rose high, directly above us. It told us it was midnight.

"Alright, Spike. Time to get going."

"Good I'm tired of being in this forest." Spike responded glad.

I slowly put on my bag and my back started to sting with pain again. I winced for a moment then ignored it. I picked up my suitcase in my left hand and my sword in my right hand. We moved around the rocks.

"Ya know...that manticore got me pretty good." I said as we were heading towards Ponyville.

"What do you mean? I don't see any cuts or bruises." Spike stated.

"It slammed me down on my back hard. I think I may be suffering internal damage."

"Well when we get back you gotta head to the hospital."

"I will once it is daylight. I have to sneak into Fluttershy's without disturbing her. But, first, I will help you get into the library unseen, undetected."

"Thanks, Amos. You are a good friend."he said

"Well I better get rid of this stuff so I won't cause you to be noticed."

"Good idea." Spike agreed.

We emerged at Fluttershy's and I spoke up in a quiet voice,"Keep down and hide in the brush. Don't speak a word."

Spike nodded as I pierced the ground with my sword and walked up to a vine covered wall. I held the big suitcase tight. I gripped the vines tight in my one open hand and planted my feet upon the wall. The vine held my weight. I started to walk up the wall using the hand that carried the suitcase, making my fingers crawl to move my hand, to allow my free hand to climb. Spike was below looking worried. I stopped next to a window. It was cracked to let the night air in. I slowly opened it more and eased the suitcase inside then carefully set it upon the floor. I turned to face Spike and held up one single finger which he nodded at. I slipped through the window and I mentally cursed. I was in Fluttershy's room. The door was open. I set my feet down quietly. I picked up the suitcase and slowly walked toward the door.

"No, Amos...Come back..." Fluttershy said in her dreams.

My movements froze up and I felt everything stop in my body. I could hear my heart pound slowly, very slowly. I regained my composure after a while. I felt like going to her side since I deemed her to be having a nightmare. I resisted the best I could, remembering my job. I went through the door and opened the door to my room which she had unlocked. Probably with the help of a unicorn. I then set down the suitcase and the bag I still kept on my back. The pain was relieved. I slipped through Fluttershy's door and made my way to the window. When I was in front of it I whispered to her quietly.

"I'll be back to you soon. I promise."

With that I wriggled through the window and gripped the vine. I swung a bit but slowly stopped. When I did I put the window in the state it was before. I jumped down and landed crouching. I walked to Spike and picked up my sword.

"She really misses me. Let's get you home fast."I said.

"Ok." he whispered and I picked him up since I could move quietly. I had left my shoes in my room.

I silently ran toward Ponyville. When we got to the town I heard some moaning through the walls of some houses.

"Stick to the shadows and stay quiet." I said and he nodded.

I set him down when we were in the cover of an alley. I pointed to Twilight's library which was about half a mile away. I whispered to him to stay in the small flowers since his bright colors would make him blend in. I stuck to shadows. I took alleys between houses and stayed in the darkness of awnings. Spike said we would meet in the bush next to the library sign when we got over there. I kept hearing moaning of the mares inside houses which made me uncomfortable. As I approached the bush a voice behind me stopped me. It sounded very familiar.

"Amos? Why are you out skulking?" I froze in my tracks and turned around from my lying position.

"Oh, its just you, Luna. I'm trying to get Spike into the library without being seen. He went almost two days
without gems. All the mares here are in heat as you know."

"That would make sense." she said a little louder than me.

"Do you mind if I get back to what I am doing?" I asked her.

"Not at all. But, Fluttershy is taking your leave very harshly. You need to see her at once. I saw her dreams and it wouldn't be anything you would want them to." Luna stated then flew off silently.

"I will come for you, Fluttershy." I whispered to myself as I came to the bush. Spike was already there.

"What took you so long?" he asked in a low volume voice.

"Had a run in with someone. Not important. Let's get you in." I answered.

I crawled around the house trying to find someway in other than the door. There wasn't anything I could climb and the windows were all closed. I went back to the bush.

"No way in but the door." I whispered.

"Just get me in." Spike said.

"I got a good plan. Just once you are inside hide somewhere Twilight won't see you." I said and he nodded. I had some doubt this plan would work.

I stood up and Spike was wondering what I was doing. I knocked on the door hard and ran to the bush and hid.Twilight answered the door, her legs trembling.

"Hello? Is anyone there?" she said and I pushed spike in behind her and he walked quickly and silently under the low table.

"Whatever..." Twilight said as she returned inside. Spike was on his own now.

I stood out of the bush and walked from it. I decided that was enough sneaking. I ran with only my socks over the grass to the outskirts of Ponyville. My socks would barely attract any attention since I wasn't making any pounding except for the slap of my feet against the occasion cobblestone path. I saw Rainbow Dash on top of a cloud. I went under a tree to avoid her
sight. I saw her head over to where I was running and land. She heard me. I decided it was now or never.And never meant getting raped by Fluttershy's closest friend. I ran as fast as I could which was about Rainbow Dash's average ground speed. She slowly turned my way when the sound of the grass moving fast under my feet reached her. I was already a good mile away. All she could see was my shadow. She saw me as I knew she would race towards me. She did. Rainbow Dash took off fast flying toward me. She was closing the distance at a good speed. I saw Fluttershy's cottage in the distance.I looked back behind me to be greeted with a Rainbow Dash talking.

"You're mine, Amos." she said dominately.

"To hell with me if I am." I flipped behind her. She didn't see that coming and stopped which took her a minute and flew right back around towards me. I ran to her.

"Giving up after that move?" Rainbow said intimidatingly.

"Nothing will stand between me and my goal." I jumped over her when she was about to grab me.

She took too long to stop and I ran fast to Fluttershy's cottage. I ran around the back and collapsed thinking I was safe. I was wrong.

"You aren't getting away from me." Dash said behind me.

"Dammit....Why did I have to run into that manticore in the Everfree..."

"You are pretty awesome to survive then...Just makes me wonder how awesome you are in bed..." She said walking to me.

"I'll be in the mouth of that manticore before I let you have me...I'm tired of running..." I stood feeling a lot of pain in my side.

Rainbow dash was hovering off the ground about to grab me. I ducked and grabbed her back hoof. I swung her around me building momentum up while I swung. I moved my arms low then let go when I made them go up. She flung high into the air. I started to climb the vine I used earlier. She recovered when I was half way up. Rainbow came down fast toward me but not too fast so she wouldn't ruin her prize, me, by alerting others. I got to the window and opened it fast. Thankfully it didn't creak. Fluttershy was still asleep dreaming in her nightmare. I looked at the clock, 3:32 A.M.. It was late. I looked back and saw Rainbow Dash almost to me. I wriggled through the window making a little noise. I felt a pull on my leg. I knew who it was.

"You aren't gonna get away from me."Dash said as she pulled on my pants leg with my teeth. She was slowly pulling me out as I held on for dear life.

I started to kick my leg that Rainbow held. She wouldn't let go. I saw a white bunny in front of me staring at me with a curious look. I put out an arm and mouthed, 'pull me in'. He started to ponder his options. He finally grabbed my hand and started to pull. I was already trying as hard as I could. I kicked hard once more and I felt no more pull. I slipped through the window fast and closed it. I gave a thumb up to the bunny who was obviously Angel. I slid into bed next to Fluttershy quietly. Rainbow Dash was at the window staring with wide eyes. She was probably thinking I had given myself up to Fluttershy. I waved to her to go. She flew off slowly.

I wrapped my arms around Fluttershy and pulled her close to me. She stirred awake.

"Wh-what?" she asked, not knowing what was going on.

"I'm back, Fluttershy." I said smiling.

"Amos, bu--"Fluttershy started.

I put my finger on her mouth and hushed her,"Just go back to sleep..." I wrapped my arms around her again and cuddled her. Her legs stopped shaking, heat was over and just in time. She closed her eyes and rested her head on my chest. I fell asleep just before she did. I was exhausted of all the work I did today.
