Call of the wild

I awoke the next day. After sleeping in what has to be the best bed i've ever been in. I decide to think about what to ask Lyra and Bon Bon, I come up with a small line of questions but think how stupid they are. I mean, I'm in a house with two beautiful mares and all i can think about is asking them questions. But then again i've never been with a mare, I just wouldn't know what to do. I panic at the thought, 'What if they....Nah!', I think to myself.

"They wouldn't be interested in me, I'm just a patient after all." I shake my head as I hear hoofsteps coming up the stairs. The door glows with blue energy, Instantly i know it's Lyra considering shes the unicorn after all, "Morning Lyra," I say as she just enters the room,"

"Oh, Your awake Starstruck," I notice the tray floating above her head.

"Is that for me?," I obviously ask.

"Yes, Bon Bon made it for you." I perk up.

"She made it, for me?" Lyra nods and puts the tray on small table she levitated over from the corner of the room.

"Well, It's kind of Bon Bon's speciality." Lyra pours the clear liquid into a small glass and magics it over.

"Thanks," I grab the glass but it slips from my hoof and drops to the floor. However just before it hits, a blue aura catches it in mid air, "Damn, I guess my grip isn't all that good." Lyra smiles and lifts it to my mouth, "Umm.....Thanks Lyra." I sip the drink as Lyra just grins; What hit me first was the taste. "Wow." I sate as my face lights up.

"So...you like it?," Lyra asks.

"Like it!, Like it!, I LOVE IT!" Lyra backs away confused. "Um, Sorry, I just have quite a sweet tooth," Lyra's ears raise.

"Oh you do?", I now look at her confused.

"What do you mean by that?" Lyra just smiles and says.

"You'll find out," I start to panic. Lyra places the glass back on the table and turns to leave, "Don't worry about the tray i'll pick it up later, I have to go tell Bon Bon the great news." She giggles and leaves the room closing the door behind her,

At that point i am sweating from pure nervousness, "Oh pony feathers, Why did i have to say that?" I have a sudden thought that I have to get out of here; I look around the room looking for something to use as a leaning tool. I spot a small piece of wood covered in black balls of some kind, I lean out trying to use my good leg to grab it, But it's just out of reach.

"Damn!" I now realise that my back two legs are not hurt, so I swing my legs around and, 'CRUMPF'. I land face first into some clothes, "What the crap," I lift myself up with my good leg. Then suddenly 'Nosebleed'! As right on my nose a pair of black leather type pants swings; they are adorned with what looks like little metal spikes, "holy sweet babys," I shout as i push them off my face and spin around. As I recover I find Bon Bon and another strange pony looking at me in a quizzical manner, "Hi," Is about all I can muster as the new pony looks down at me.

"You must be the patient, Starstruck I presume?" He says while looking at the small clipboard he takes out of his bag, I notice he's a unicorn too. "I thought miss Bon Bon and miss Lyra told you to stay in bed!"

"Yeah about that, I fell out while reaching for this glass, Heh heh," The pony's glare scares me, Bon Bon tries to hold back a giggle, I turn red, Again!

"Now, my name is Doctor Nose, And please don't try to crack a joke i've heard them all." I thought to myself this guy is a jerk, "Miss Bon Bon told me your left leg was quite damaged after your accident; And she suspected that one of your wings was also damaged." He turns to Bon Bon, "You can leave now miss, I have some tests to take and some will be intrusive."

"Oh, OK doctor," Bon Bon turns around, And for the first time since yesterday, I smelt the aroma again, It's weird as it seems only i can detect it, "Starstruck, Shout if you need anything."

"I will!" I call back.

Over the next hour the doctor pokes, Prods and jabs me in places i didn't know i had, After a few more final tests on my wings the doctor gets up, "I have done every test i can think off, Mr Starstruck."

"Whats the diagnosis then doc?"

"You have a hairline fracture in your left leg, However your wings are fine but just bruised, You can remove the bandages if you wish, But be warned your wings will be quite tender for a day or two."

"Thanks doc, Any more advice?" I ask while removing the bandages from my wings.

"Not that i can think of, But if you have any questions?" He gestures by putting his hoof to his chin.

"I have one question doc."

"Do go on."

"Well ever since I have been here, I have be detecting a smell or aroma, Not that i mind but it's very sweet and it drives me nuts, Yet it's only when Lyra or Bon Bon are here can i sense it," The doctor now pauses while packing away his gear.

"A smell you say?"

"Yup kind of like wild flowers or newly made suger sweets."

"Oh my boy have you not been with a mare before?"

"Um, No I havn't," The doctor now looks puzzled.

"Then I have a few things to explain, what you are smelling is pheromones."

"Pheromones?" I tilt my head.

"Yes it's what a mare gives off when she is, How do i say this ....'Attracted' to a stallion, It's more noticable during their heat cycle,"

"Heat cycle?"

"By Celestias light, did no-one tell you all this?"

"I was not the best listner at school."

"The mares heat cycle is when they go into ovalation, It's their primary state for mating." Now that word i knew.

"Mating," I let out in horror.

"Yes, My dear boy, And your lucky,"

"Why's that?"

"Because most of the time only the stallion the mare is attracted too will sense the pheromones, And the fact you can sense it from both of the mares here, That makes you one lucky stallion."

"What do i do doc? This is not my strong point!" The doctor just laughs.

"There's no book you can read for this, It's just instinct."

"Then can you atleast give me pointers, Or something?" The doctor turns away from the door.

"Sigh, Look all i can say is go with it, I mean it's only natural, And besides i have known miss Bon Bon and miss Lyra for years and you could not have better company, But i would make your decision now to persue this,"

"Why now?"

"Because their mating season offically starts in two days," And on that bombshell, my brain fries; and now the doctors gone.

"Two days!" I say as hoofsteps are coming back up the stairs.
