After the shower you two took you decided that the two of you would need your energy in the morning. So you and Northern Lights went straight to bed, the changed sheets smelling nice and fresh.

''Come on Lights we need to get up early in the morning.'' A yawn follows up the words you just said.

*Yawn* ''I know Tem, don’t worry.''

Before you get in your bed and settle down for the night, you first need to ready your flight gear and uniform for in the morning. Northern Lights does the same with her lab coat and goggles, putting them down on the chair next to the bed. When you turn around to get into bed you see that Lights is already in bed.

''Doesn't it feel good to finish first, Lights?'' You tell the pink maned Pegasus next to you.

She giggles a little when you say those words ''You never quit with the teasing do you?''

You smile and say ''Do you want me to?''

She kisses you on the cheek and wipers in your ear ''Of course not silly.''

''Lights, we should get to sleep. It’s already late.''

*Yawn* ''I know.''

You wish each other a good night, and the both of you fall asleep.

You are the first to wake up, you see Northern Lights is still vast asleep. You get off the bed and walk to the window,
pulling back the curtains and seeing that the sun has been up for about thirty minutes. Letting you know it’s time to leave in two hours. You walk toward the door and exit the room. As you head for the kitchen you start to think. 'Normally Light is always the one to make breakfast, time to return the favor.' You start to make the flower sandwich you two like so much. As you let the smell of fresh bread fill the room.

You walk back over to the bedroom and whisper in you girlfriends ear ‘‘Lights, Lights, get up, breakfast is ready.

She slowly starts to open her eyes, still getting used to the sunlight that shines in the room. ''Is it that time of the day already?'' Lights says with a teasing tone in her voice.

''You know I first need my morning shower silly.''

She gets out of the bed and walks over to the bathroom, you can see that she is still a little sleepy. She gets a towel from the rack and closes the door behind her. You hear the shower’s rushing water. You walk back to the kitchen seeing that you forgot one important thing.

''Well I guess I will make some tea then. Now where did we put the raspberries?''

You look in the cabinets on the top level of the kitchen, the cabinet where you keep all of the tea supplies. You grab two mugs and put them on the table. You get two small spoons from the drawer and put them in the cups, still wondering where the raspberries are.

''There is one place I haven't looked yet'' you say while you walk over to the last cabinet on the bottom left. Knowing Lights keeps all her special ingredients there, you look around some more and spot them in the back. You slowly squish the berries and put them in the cups with hot water, holding a filter in between. The juices swiftly mixes with the water, and you put in some sugar and bring them over to the table. As soon as you put the cups down you see the door open and Lights walking through it. Her hair still a little wet from her shower. She sniffs the air and smells the breakfast you made, sitting down at the table and looks at the breakfast. And as her hooves reach for one of the mugs she says.

''Flower sandwiches and raspberry tea?, I wasn't aware we had something to celebrate today.
You sit down at your chair and get a sip of your tea, you put it down and say.

''We don't. At least, not yet.''

''Are Korin and Akiza coming over for the weekend?’’

This question asked, you quickly swallow the rest of your bite and put the sandwich down on the plate. ''You bet they are, we haven't seen them since our last trip to ponyville.’’

''I'm looking forward to seeing those two again.''

''You think they want to go swinging again?’’ You almost choke on your sandwich while Lights says those words.

''I hope not, the last time was unpleasant for all four of us.’’ Northern Lights takes a sip of her tea and hesitates to ask you, when she puts her cup down she realizes it’s better to ask.

''Remind me again why we did that.''

''One word, Hoofies.'' You manage to say while thinking back to that night of swinging.’’

Northern Lights face suddenly turns red like a tomato, ''Oh good Celestia, now I remember.''

You slowly start to ask yourself why you did that again, In your mind you see a clock reminding you that you two need to leave soon. You snap out of the images playing in your head.

''Light, we’ll have to leave soon.'' You say before drinking the last bit of the tea in your cup. As you put your cup down, you see that Northern Lights just finished her sandwich. You grab all the plates and move them over to the kitchen, Lights following with the cups. You walk over to the bedroom to get your goggles and gear, also remembering that your uniform is still in the hallway. As you turn toward the door you see that Northern Lights is getting her uniform on as well, Hers being much simpler to put on then yours all she needs is her lab coat and badge. You first have to put on your wind breaking shirt, then your jacket followed by your belt with all the gear you need for escorting balloons from and to Cloudsdale, Your goggles are never the problem as you prefer to just keep them on at all times. Before you dash out the door you ask who will close up shop, Lights saying she would. You both give eachother a kiss as you leave for work.

You quickly arrive at the balloon station, when you suddenly hear a voice that you know damn well.

''Temayes!!! You are five minutes late again!’’

Your head turns in the direction you hear the shout from as a little smile appears on your face. ''Oh, did I now?’’

''You know you are too late Tem, or do you prefer Captain?'' the Pegasus in front of you says with hind of laughter in his voice.

As the both of you walked toward each other, you take off your goggles and look the pegasus in his eyes.

''You started early again didn't you? Commander.''

He looked over to you with a rather peculiar look in his eyes, ''There is no fooling you is there Temayes?''

You both start to laugh, ''I honestly thought you knew.''

''We should get to work, Shouldn’t we?''

''Yeah, we should.''

You walk over to where the balloons are docked, and you look at the list of docked balloons. On the list, it’s written when and where a balloon is headed. You look over to the bottom and see a sight that will make your day. The last balloon of the day is from Ponyville. ''Well that means that they are here at twenty minutes past five, luckily that my shift.'' You walk away with a smile on your face as you escort the first balloon out of the docks and into the air.

As you resume your daily tasks of escorting the balloons, the time just seems to fly as you arrive at the last stop, Ponyville. You ask the pony at the entryway if he had seen two Unicorns with a light brown coat and mane, the other with a light blue mane and dark blue coat. Suddenly, you hear someone shout out your name, and you are overjoyed at hearing who is two shouting at you.

You walk in the direction of the two unicorns. ''Korin! Akiza! It’s good to see you two! It’s been too long.''

Korin walks over to you, looks you in the eye and says ''You haven't changed a bit Tem old buddy.''

You look at Korin with almost the same look in your eyes, you place a hoof on his shoulder. ''I like what you have done with your mane, it suits you better this way. How is the magic coming along?'

Korin looks over at you, rubbing the back of his head with his hoof.

''Well things could go better I suppose, as you can see the both of us haven’t really learned anything about teleporting.’’

You look over to Akiza as you ask Korin: ''And how is Akiza doing? How is it going between the two of you?''

Korin looks over at you as you see a grin is starting to appear on his face, ''That is funny you should ask.''

You manage to keep a serious look on your face as you ask Korin what he is up to. ''So I suppose you still haven't given up on that idea now have you?''

''Well you know the four of us made a deal a couple of years back, if both of our relations would last for more than three years we would have a foursome.''

As you hear those words you are no longer able to keep the serious look in your eyes.

''Well then the sooner we arrive at Cloudsdale the better right?'' Both Korin and Akiza nod in agreement.

You take to the sky and yell ''Last balloon for Cloudsdale is leaving!!''

As the Balloon gets high in the sky, Korin and you can think of only one thing: the amazing night that is coming up. Suddenly the both of you hear a whisper in your ear ''I can’t wait.'' You look over your shoulder and see Akiza, Korin looking over his shoulder as well but he turns towards Akiza and whispering back.
''I know.''

The three of you laugh and giggle, and while you are laughing you start to wonder how Lights is doing.

''Northern Lights did you get that replacement crystal in place yet?''

''Yes Boris, I did.''

Boris laughs out loud and says: ''Good, because the pipes still need to be cleaned.'' He walks of and turns the corner as she hears the door close.

''Glad that fat bastard is gone right Lights?'' The pony that is working on the crystals says.

''Lights, why are you so happy today?'' She hears a other pony shout from the crystal core on the left.

Northern Lights turns her head and shouts back. ''Let’s just say my friends have a promise to keep.''
'And they better' She thinks with lust in her eyes.

As the three of you get of the balloon you tell Korin and Akiza to go on ahead and pick up Northern Lights at the weather factory. You first need to dock the balloon and report the journey to Herbert the location manager. You walk in and report that everything went smoothly.

''Well what are you waiting for? Go on!''

''Thank you sir.''

You spread your wings and take off speeding towards the weather factory, hoping that Lights and the others are still there. You arrive at the weather factory and see the three ponies you were hoping to see. You land next to them and the four of you walk over to your house. On the way home the four of you start to chat about what the four of you have done since the last visit. A few things pop up like how you and Lights deal with your jobs, how Korin and Akiza got a new pet parrot. And how their jobs are going. You look over and see that you are just a block away from your house. Suddenly you hear Korin.

''Temayes? Remember that one time you were bitten by a timberwolf?''

You turn your towards Korin and start to say ''Yes I remember, still have that scar.''

Akiza turns her head and asks how you got bitten.

''I don't want to talk about it, it’s..''

Korin interrupts you and says ''It because the wolf stole his sandwich.’’

On the background you hear Akiza and Northern Lights laughing, As Korin gets a smile on his face as well.

''You had to go and say it didn't you?’’

''Sorry Tem, it was too good an opportunity.''

The four of you walk inside the house. The first thing the four of you do is wonder what to do about the promise. Korin looks at you and the others around the table, ''So how are we going to do this?''

Northern Lights looks over at Akiza and winks, ''How about this we turn it into a little contest?’’

She looks over at you and Korin ''If we win you will become our slaves for the remainder of the weekend, if you win we will become your slaves.''

You look over at Lights knowing what she is up to. Korin looking over at the mares, ''What will the contest be?''

Northern Lights gets of her chair and whispers something in Akiza's ear, after that she turns her head ''While we are of thinking of a challenge for you, you do the same.'' They walk out of the room and close the door behind them.

You and Korin start to exchange ideas about what the other one in the relationship likes the most, unknowing Lights is doing the same with Akiza. After an hour of thinking you and Korin have an idea. You turn towards Korin and say: ''Its original and good, they will love it''

Korin looks at you with a cheeky smile in his face. ''We will too!''

The two of you walk over to the bedroom and open the door. As you step inside you see the two mares already on the bed. Northern Lights looks up and asks who will go first. Akiza picks up a coin from the drawer next to the bed and says: ''Lets toss a coin.''

She throws the coin up and catches it, "Heads or tails?" She asks Korin.

He looks over at Akiza with a confident look and says ''Heads.''

Akiza lifts her hoof, ''Its tails, we get to go first.''

Her horn glowing and shutting the door behind you.
