Wolf among sheep

Wolf III

You were currently sitting at the dining table your head had a slight ache but nothing aspirin couldn't fix. After taking a few tablets you quickly swallowed the orange juice you had in your cup rubbing your temples as to massage the ache out of your system.

"Today's your lucky day kid." Raiden announced as he walked down the fleet of stairs.

"Why is it?" You asked drinking your orange juice while nursing your ache.

"I just got a text from my lady, she wants me to do an errand for her, guess where?" He asked with a smirk

"Wait how many girls do you have?"

"Hmm, counting Vinyl?"

"Oh for the love of! Are you cheating on vinyl?" You asked not getting that you're in a different world

"what no… I would…oh…oh! Now I get it." Raiden laugh at your outburst.

"See? This is exactly what I wanted to explain how things work here." He stated

"Explain to me how cheating on a girl is different. I'm no saint but I got the decency to dump her afterwards." You informed

"That is what I'm trying to tell you Dante here having a monogamic relationship its very rare, a little taboo even, but here things are a bit backwards when you're talking about relationships."

"So what exactly do they call these relationships. From history books I've read during my time on earth they're usually called harems. Mostly used by royalty." You informed

"Herds and to go back to your question, counting four, and knowing Vinyl soon it'll be five."

"Right so we're going somewhere today?" You asked

"Yeah, as I was saying my lady Octy needed to pick up a dress but she's busy so she ask me if I could pick it up for her, now again guess where the dress is at?" Raiden asked

"That boutique Rarity runs, well I guess I gotta meet her to complete that mission. Anyway how does Discord handle failures on missions?" You asked curious about what he does.

"Do you remember what happened to Amelia Earhart?"

"That bad huh fuck. If I can't do it discreetly then I'm going have to throw a damn Molly into art exhibit and hope I don't get caught."

Raiden chuckled "Relax dude it was a joke, as I heard Discord just erases the memories from your brain toss you back on earth and you just end up thinking you went to sleep wearing a leotard and had a weird dream, like the matrix."

"From what Discord wanted he seemed pretty eager to have me here said something about 'welcome home'." You told Raiden

"Ah he likes riddles it probably has something to do for a future mission, anyway, yeah I need to go to Rarity's. You're welcome to come if you want, or you could stay here and help Eris find her bra." Raiden points towards Eris yawning as she stepped out of the refrigerator like if it was a door to her bedroom and wearing a very transparent night dress "Morning Eris." Raiden said as he pass her a glass with orange juice

"Morning. And good morning to you Dante." She said to you as she got closer to you.

"Might as well get this mission over with and try to get her on my side. After that I'll deal with Eris and her weird fixation on me." You said raising from your seat.

"As you wish, sorry Eris, Dante will not be able to help you dress today."

"Alright so we ready to go or what?" You asked

Raiden is already out the door by the time you asked.

"You better hurry dude, before she invited you to bathe with her."

"Yeah yeah yeah!" You exit the house and walk alongside Raiden as you two walk towards the boutique.

A few minutes later...

"Well here it is, Carousel Boutique." You looked forward to see the store which look relatively small.

"Hmmm seems pretty small." You stated

"Don't let Rarity hear that." You both enter the boutique to hear a small bell ring just above you. You looked forward to see a girl with purple curly hair she looked absolutely stunning.

"Welcome Raiden welcome, what can I do for you and your friend today?" She asked happily

"I'm here to pick Octavia dress, she told me you had it ready." Raiden asked

"Ah of course wait right here." She said as she walked towards the back of the boutique.

"Hot damn she's...she's beautiful. How the hell am I going to get her?" You asked as you rubbed your head

"Having seconds thoughts? You know what will happen if you lose the bet right?" Raiden reminded you.

"Yes I know what would happen if I fail at getting her. Can you at least help me with this?" You asked trying to at least have a shot with her.

"And how could I help you?" He responded

"I don't know either way I'm fucked figuratively and literally. I'm fucked if I can't get her to love me and fucked if I fail the very first mission Discord gives me." You started to panic as you paced back and forth.

"Ok, ok, I'll see what I can do." A few minutes later Rarity returned with the dress "Thanks Rarity, say, Rarity its being a while since we last talked, don't you think? How have you been doing?" He asked

"I'm doing very well aside from the whole order last week I had to complete. Why do you ask?" She asked

Like I said its being like forever since we chatted, just talk between friends and to be honest with you, I kind of miss our little get togethers, ever since you introduced me to Vinyl, it feels like we grown apart, don't you think?"

"Yes you've been busy I've been busy. Just life has taken us for ride,"

"Well I was thinking we could catch up a bit and I know the perfect way to do so without wasting your time, my friend here was wondering if you could make a suit fro him" Raiden pointed at you as you have her a weak smile

She glanced at you and smiled as she responded with a heavenly tone.

"Of course I could make something he'd enjoy."

"Great, ok , what are you waiting for? Introduce yourself a gentlemen never makes a lady wait." Raiden pushed you forward so you could introduce yourself to Rarity.

"I'm Dante Dante Knight." You said to her as you politely bowed.

"Dante I've never heard a name like that before where are you from?" She asked your eyes widen as you didn't know what to say.

"He comes from the outskirts of Equestria, like me. Dante came after a job opening at Discord's night club, and I was just giving him a tour around town." He quickly stated

"Really now? What do you do?" She asked

"Well I do anything that anyone tells me I get it done on time and orderly." She smiled and grabbed your hand as she guided you towards a fitting room.

"He also gots some class too Rarity just yesterday he was telling me and Eris about this strict policy of only wear suits, no matter what, kind of like you don't you think?" He asked

"Well from what you're currently wearing you seem to be a man with high standards as well as one with a great attitude as well." She said happily

"But that doesn't stop him from getting his hands dirty, he really knows how to run in a suit no matter how much mud gets on his outfit." Rarity flinched at that and released your hand before composing herself and asked you to remain on the podium

"What the hell are you doing I thought you were helping me?!" You harshly whispered

"I am but I can't make it easy for you either, Rarity is my friend Dante, not a piece of meat, if you want her you better do it because you want her and not for a stupid bet." He stated protecting his friend from you and the bet you made with Eris.

"Oh I'm going to kill you if I have to this guns blazing!" You glared

"Hey! This is a test moron, I can still save you but only if you promise you're not going using her and then breaking her heart, so do you really want her? Or are you just in it for the sex? Answer me Dante and answer quick, she'll be here soon." Raiden informed

"Yes I promise I'll keep her safe if anything bad happens. I'll love her but for the love of god help me out!" You practically begged

"You better, Knight, you break her heart I'll break your limps." Rarity returned as she approached you with measuring tape.

"Aww, Rarity when I meant he doesn't mind getting his hands dirty I meant doing the job himself. You know like with numbers or organizing events, Like when you made and design your own dresses, get it? He doesn't put his hand in mud."

"Really now. I would've never guessed." She said quickly exhaling

"Really Rarity, you need to get over that fear of dirt, you started to shake the moment someone just mentions mud."

"Oh shush Raiden I have my fears and you have yours." She simply stated

"Point taken, but going back to the subject, yeah Dante is someone that really enjoys the high class events, and decorations, most of the time, reminds me of a certain fashionista in male form now that I think about it." He said with a chuckle

"Anyway, as I gave him a tour he kept mentioning about big high class events here and there, I know some but perhaps you know of more, you're the expert after all."

"Of course I'd love to know him more he seems like an interesting man."

"Would you perhaps like to go for lunch after were done?" You asked

"Ahem, Dante, weren't we on a middle of a tour? Plus I imagine Rarity still has some work left, right Rarity?"

"I have some free time later today." She said with a smile

"Okay why don't we meet up in town square?"

"Well if its ok with you then, there's no problem." Rarity finished with your measures and ask you and Raiden to leave so she could go back to work

"Always nice to see you Rarity, we need to get together some other time."

"Of course goodbye Raiden." You two exited the store and walked towards town you were still pissed that Raiden made you commit to something you had no idea you had to do.

"Okay Raiden you ass you agreed to help me why do you suddenly want to hurt me and my chances in money!" You asked with anger in your voice

"As I said, this was a test, Rarity's my friend and she's been hurt a lot in the past by jerks that only want her for her looks or as some kind of trophy, the curse of her beauty, you understand don't you? For you Rarity is a beautiful mare that you want to meet, for me, she's like a big sister, and I will not let another jerk hurt her again." He stated you sighed and looked back to what you didn't think mattered she might've been hurt by assholes who just want one thing. We're you any different? You didn't know

"You're right look if this works out I'll call off the bet I may have to give Eris something but at least it'll be honest." Raiden smiled and patted your back

"Congratulations you passed, I told you I was testing you and you proved to me you're not just another hot head just for one thing, I'll try to help you out, win her over, you try to concentrate on getting into the event as her guest, ok? Bet or not, you still had a job to complete"

"Thanks but right now I gotta get familiar with the town."

"Sure come with me I'll show you the most important person here, in terms of information, you have a question you go to her."

A few minutes later...

"Here we are Ponyville library."

"A library finally a place where I can learn!" You said happily

You two walk in and see A girl with purple color hair with streaks of pink in her hair she was reading while floating in mid air, she was also wearing a skirt you could clearly see that she had red panties on, Raiden took the opportunity to mess with her head a bit

"Wow, Twilight I knew you love me, but why don't you invite me to a movie first." Raiden said from below her were he has a perfect view of her exposed panties.

"Oh shut up Raiden." She said as she landing near the two she gasped as she saw you and looked away embarrassed as you glanced upon her panties.

"Hey which one of us was flying around in a skirt? By the way, red ones?, really Twilight? You were practically yelling me to see them." Raiden said with a chuckle

"Wow you're really good with women Raiden." You half joked

"Thanks I try my best to let them know they're beautiful, oh and Twilight this is Dante, Dante let me introduce you to Twilight, the librarian of this place, and most recently crowned princess and apprentice of Princess Celestia."

"Who?" You asked

"You haven't heard of princess Celestia?" Twilight asked

"Sorry Twilight he's from out the country like me, I brought him here so you can explain him about the rulers of this place, after all you are the expert about the subject." He then annoyed Twilight a bit more he hug her with one arm and looked at you

"First thing you need to know, Twilight and I…we're in love." He informed

"Wow if I wasn't mistaken I would've mistaken you two for a couple."

Twilight continued to glare at him before shoving him away from her and denying it.

Raiden chuckled a bit before deciding it was enough teasing

"Anyway, Twilight I brought him here because I thought you could explain better who the princesses are, and how this country is rule, can you explain him that?"

"Yeah I guess I can do that." She said

"Good girl" Raiden then gave her a light spank making her squeak in surprise and blush profusely before glaring at him.

"How many times have I told you not to do that!?" She shouted angrily glaring at him.

"I dunno." He says with a chuckle

A few minutes later...

"Thanks Twilight I think with that he has an idea of how things work here"

"What happened?" You asked

"You fell asleep when I was explaining things." She said clearly upset with him

"You have to forgive him Twilight, he still needs time to pay attention, the short version is that so far there are four princesses that are the ultimate authority in Equestria, Twilight being one of them." He explains

"I'm very sorry but I'm kinda interested with Luna she seems like me an outcast who has troubles with society."

"Maybe Twilight can arrange a get-together with her and Celestia if you ever want to meet them, they're great Dante I'm sure they would like to meet you, and Twilight can always made room on their agendas, right honey?" Raiden asked Twilight with the intention of teasing her one more time.

"Right sweetheart." She said with a giggle

"Oh I thought I got you there, you're getting better." Raiden praised her for not blushing that time.

"Raiden could you work on your relationship issues later. We gotta go." You stated

"Sure, by the way Twilight thanks for your help." The two of exit the library but Raiden decided to tease Twilight one more time as Twilight bent over to put a book on its shelf

"And nice ass!" Raiden comment before walking out making Twilight stand up and cover her ass with a giant blush.

Outside Raiden kept snickering to himself as he pat your back. "Ah Twilight, sometimes she just give me ammo on a silver plate." He says wiping a tear from his eye.

"You must really like her for teasing her so much." You retorted

"Part of that yeah, but part of it is to teach her, you see, as you have gathered, she likes to go into those lectures modes, when something peaks her interest, that makes her most of the time unappealing to a lot of people so she has low self-esteem and buried herself in books, or be more than shy toward guys, she finds attractive. Teasing her, I make sure she knows that she's a gorgeous mare that has nothing to be ashamed and learn how to defend herself when some jerk tries to take advantage of her. In a way i'm training her so she knows what to do if someone flirts with her."

"Ah I see words of wisdom hopefully someone who's not a total dick takes her. From the very few minutes or hour or whatever long it was, I hope she gets a guy who loves her for her." You say to Raiden

"Correct, but you know how things are, some want to know her, those that don't are just dicks, I'm just helping her, to see the difference, and she chooses me…well Vinyl did ask if we could add Twilight to our little herd."

"Why don't you do it I mean the way she reacts around seems like she likes you. And her aura seems to be out of whack when I saw her around you especially when you put your arm around her." You inform him

"That her what was what? What do mean by aura?" He asked confused by your statement.

"I've got this weird sixth sense that let's me see what people's moods are. I know it's crazy but it happens at random times." You inform

"Curious and what did you saw in Twilight exactly? All I saw was frustration and embarrassment."

"Embarrassment for one and a hint of pleasure." You say with a chuckle

"Pleasure? Dante please don't screw around, are you completely sure it was pleasure?" He asked wanting to get an answer

"I know what color pleasure is I've had to deal with aura state for years now I'm sure it was pleasure."

"Ja, never imagine her as the one who likes to be spanked well…oh I don't know, I don't want to push her into something she doesn't want." He says feeling a bit guilty

"Hey your choice my friend I'm just telling you what I see."

"True, ok let's move on, I know l haven't introduced you to her yet come on." You two continue to walk until you both reach Sugar Cube Corner

"Here we are, Sugar Cube Corner, the best bakery in Ponyville." He says with a smile

"Bakery? Huh never was into sweets before." You inform scratching your head

"Oh you'll see" They enter the show "Pinkie Pie! we had a new person in town!"

Before you could say anything you were tackled by a very bubbly and happy girl who had hot pink hair. It was curly and messy yet suited that person

"Easy there Pinkie what did I tell you about going around tackling people around?"

"Well I heard he was new so I wanted to give him a super duper welcome to Ponyville!"

"Sorry Dante Pinkie can get a bit excited with new people on town, anyway Pinkie Dante, Dante Pinkie Pie the top chef around here and owner of this bakery." He said clearly joking

"I'm not a chef. And I don't even own the bakery." She said clearly not seeing it was a joke

"Really? so are you not Pinkie Pie?" He asked

"Maybe I'm not." She says with a giggle

"Uh hello I'm still under you Ms.Pie." You stated

"Oh sorry I-" she then looked at your eyes making her freeze as she was on top of you.

"Ok, enough of that." Raiden helped Pinkie stand up

"It's a shame, you aren't Pinkie, because if you were I was wondering if my good friend Dante would like some of her delicious Special Pinkie cupcakes, oh well I suppose we will have to go if that its not the…" He was interrupted by Pinkie who clearly didn't want you to leave.

"Wait! I uh well I am Pinkie!" She said a large smile across her face.

You got up and wiped the dirt off your suit and looked at Pinkie who looked away. You closed your eyes and saw an aura you didn't see before.

"Ah so YOU are Pinkie great, here let me introduce you, as I was saying Dante meet Pinkie the baker of this place and party planner extraordinaire, you want to plan a party or just laugh a bit you go to her." Raiden then mumbles "And she could be a great chef if she wanted to."

They were both silent as Pinkie glanced at you who just continued to look at her with more and more consideration to her feelings.

"Ahem!" Raiden clear his throat to gather their attention again "Pinkie? Don't you like to offer some homemade muffin to Dante?"

"Oh sorry." She quickly said in her cheerful happy voice

"Uh thanks." You say receiving the treat you slowly ate it since you didn't eat many sweets it felt weird eating it.

"What did I tell you? Delicious right? Pinkie here is the best baker I have ever know." He said praising Pinkie

Raiden then turn to her "Dante is new here, he came from outside the country like me, he came to apply for a job and is living with me at the moment, you know what that means right Pinkie?"

He whisper into her ear "A welcome to Ponyville party." He reminded

"Oh right we can have the bestest party ever!" She said happily before running off

"Uh dude why did she say party I'm still a little hungover from yesterday."

"Its tradition here, the moment you move here, you get a welcoming party, don't worry about it won't be right away, I don't think it'll be even today." He informs

"Oh thank god this morning my head hurt like a bitch. So what else do we got to do, I still got two hours to kill before I meet Rarity in town."

"Before that care to explain what was that just a moment ago? You and Pinkie kind of spaced out for a moment."

"Well you know how I can see aura well hers was a little weird like she had somebody else inside her someone completely different." You stated

"Oh so you saw Nega Pie, yeah you're correct, she does has someone else inside."

"For some reason I want to help her help her overcome the fears she has."

"It will not be that easy, trust me, I meet Nega Pie and she exist for a reason, someday I will tell you the story, just know its a very sad one, for now lets continue."

"I have my ways in helping people I may seem like an ignorant prick but I can actually help those who don't help themselves."

"I'm serious Dante, give it a rest, you just meet her, you don't know her all that much yet, wait before you hurt her more than you help her."

"Look I'm just trying to earn a few friends and the way I'm looking at things I'm just trying to fit in." You inform him

"Fine just slow down ok? And speaking of which, let's pay a visit to someone that likes speed come on I think you'd like to meet her."

"Dude the only reason I would run is if I'm running from the cops." You say with a chuckle

"Just follow me you lazy…oh would you look at that, looks like we wouldn't have to go very far." Raiden point at a cloud

You looked up to see some rainbow colored hair stick out of the cloud.

"Watch this" Raiden take a deep breath before shouting "Oh my god! Is that Spitfire?"

"Where! Where!" She shouted fangirling extremely hard.

"Down here!" She looked down to see You and Raiden

"Hi Dash!" He happily stated

"Dammit Raiden!" She said glaring at him

"Hi to you too, hey Dash, think you could fly your ass down here? I got a friend I'd like you to meet!"

"What do you want?" She asked flying down to the two guys.

"Dash Dante, Dante meet Rainbow Dash, the pizza deliver girl."

"Shut it Raiden. Anyway I'm Rainbow Dash Equestria fastest flier." She boasted

"Dante."

"Dante have you ever seen a plane go to mach 1?" Raiden pointed at Dash

"She can that."

"Wow impressive."

"Damn right hey you seem alright something tells me that we'll get along just fine." She said patting your back

"Dash is one of my oldest friends and one of the most loyal friends that exists you're friend with her, you're friends for life, isn't it right Skittles?"

"That's right asshole. So where you from Dante."

"The outskirts of Equestria far away from here I'm guessing your from uh cloudsdale?" You asked mentally praying you were right

"Sure am. Hey Fluttershy was talking to a guy named Dante yesterday night. Was that you?" She asked

"Je sometimes I forgot how close you 2 are, and yeah Dante was just telling me yesterday how he met a nice lady back at the club, oh he work at the club too, now in case you were wondering."

"Seems like Fluttershy really likes you she's usually shy with new people." She stated

"Well she seems pretty cool I'd love to talk to her more." You say to her with a smile

"We can talk later on for now I was thinking on introduce you to Dash and while I'm at it." Raiden the turn to Dash "Is AJ still mad at me?"

"I'm not sure you should talk to her if ya wanna know."

"She's still mad I presume, well I was giving Dante a tour around town, maybe you could take him to Sweet Apple Acress for me so he can meet AJ." He asked

"Sure come on new guy let's go meet AJ."

A few minutes later...

As you and Rainbow walked towards the orchard you asked Rainbow what had happened between Raiden and AJ.

"I'm not sure it was a big fight and AJ hates when someone brings up Raiden on her farm. Something tells me she isn't ready at all it's best to keep Raiden out of any conversations you have with AJ." She warned as you two entered the orchard.

Once inside you looked around to see that they had a plentiful amount of food to sustain everyone in Ponyville for years.

"So Applejack's her name what's her mood like?" You asked

"What do you mean?" She asked

"Well like is she cranky or is she nice?"

"She's totally cool with everyone except for you know who. Anyway just to warn ya she hates liars if she catches you on a lie she'll bring it up." You nodded making sure to use your best lies on her just as a precaution.

You heard several thumps and swaying of trees as you walked towards the source of the noise.

As you approached the noise to be tackled by a something but forceful. You looked down to see three little girls holding on to your pant legs.

"We gotta him!" One with purple colored hair announced

"Did we get out cutiemarks?" The lavender and pink curly haired girl asked

They all got off you and looked at the back of their hands to see nothing there. They sighed and looked forward to shrink back as they looked behind you.

You glanced behind you to see a pair of well toned legs.

"Up here sugar cube." You looked up to see a girl with blonde hair and brown Stetson hat on top of it.

She looked like your typical farmer's daughter type. She had a buttoned shirt in which she tied exposing a bit of her belly. She had some short denim shorts on. And a pair of cowboy boots too.

"Howdy you okay?" She asked as she gave you a hand.

"I'm fine just a little confused by why they tackled me." You stated looking at the three girls as they looked away nonchalantly.

"Don't worry about them they always get into trouble. So what's your name?" She asked

"Dante, Dante Knight." You reply as you shook her hand.

"Well it's nice to meet ya Dante, so you're new in town?"

"Yeah I'm staying with a friend. Impressive orchard you have here."

"Thanks takes a lot of time and effort to make this here orchard into the best." She took a glance at you before chuckling

"What's so funny?" You asked trying to get why she's laughing.

"Seems like you're the fancy type one of those guys or gals who worry about what they're wearing."

"I may seem like that but I ain't I'm more of guy who gets things done."

"Alright well it's nice to meet ya but I gotta her to work maybe we'll see each other around town." She said walking away from the area.

The visit was short and clean just the way you liked it, you didn't want a drawn out intro.

You walked back into town as Dash took you towards a café nearby to re-meet Raiden.

"Took your sweet time? How is AJ? Hard worker as usual?" He asked

"Yeah seems like she thinks about is work. It made me tired and I just stood there." You stated as you rubbed his head

"I imagine, well as for the tour, I think here is where it ends, I'd introduce you but I know you two already know each other right?" He said pointing towards Fluttershy

"We talked and shared a drink. If you consider that knowing each other then yeah we know each other."

"No not exactly so I'll go for it just to be sure, Fluttershy Dante, Dante meet Fluttershy resident caretaker of animals on Ponyville." In that a chameleon suddenly appear on Raiden shoulder and he started petting her.

"And pet owner searcher, I don't think you haven't meet this little lady yet, Dante meet Channel." Raiden showed the chameleon to You

"Hello, again Dante." Fluttershy said giving a small wave

"Hey. You're really going hard on the paint for introductions are you anyway what time is it?"

"Like around noon why?" He asked

"Hmm still got an hour to kill."

"Oh right, yeah he made plans to go for a lunch date with Rarity…hmmm say Shy, you're free too why don't you tag along?"

"I don't want to be a bother." She said shyly

"It won't be a problem miss." You said with a smile

"Come on Shy who knows, Rarity will be happy to see you."

"Oh okay." She said with a smile as she rose from her seat and walked alongside you.

"Je good for Fluttershy it was about time, she found love." Raiden mention to Dash

"Love with him? Yeah right."

"Why not? I think he could have a shot,"

"I don't think so Fluttershy's delicate he seems like the guy who does dumb shit and expects results kinda like you."

"Hey! when do I ever had done something dumb?" Before she answer he cut her off. "And spanking Twilight doesn't count, I have a reason for that."

"Yeah hitting someone's behind a princess of all types is totally justifiable."

"It is, when there is a reason behind that, ok, fine lets assume that was a dumb move, besides that what else, have I done?"

"Trust it isn't going to work between the two unless he likes animals like her."

"The same you said about Vinyl and me unless I liked music and look at us now."

"Well your right but something tells me she'll be afraid to say anything to him."

"I said he has a shot no that it will be an easy shot."

"Eh I'm sure if they have one thing in common Fluttershy will fall for him."

"Oh they will"

Raiden then see Dash with a sly smile, "So…I have the day off, and had nothing to do, any ideas?"

"Yeah sure let's kill some time." She said with a smile

Raiden stand up and hug Dash before squeezing her butt "Oh we will kill some time, where do you prefer here or on a cloud?"

"How about on a cloud." She says with a smile
