When I opened my eyes, I looked around, noticing that there were bits of sunlight filtering through the drawn curtains. I looked down to see Cheerilee's hooves wrapped aroung my abdomen. I placed my hand on her back and began to pet her. She let out a few groans before opening her eyes. She looked up at me and smiled.

"Your still here?" she said happily.

"Why wouldn't I be?" I replied.

"I was afraid it had all been just a dream." she said, a hint of worry in her voice, "Now I know it wasn't a just a dream, but a dream come true."

I smiled and rubbed her back some more.

"I'll be honest, that feels really good. I haven't been able to relieve any stress in a long time." she said, closing her eyes so she could enjoy the petting.

"Well I guess I'm going to have to come around more often then huh?" I said, chuckling.

"Definitely." she replied. A few minutes later I heard her stomach grumble.

"Somebod-sorry, somepony is hungry." I said.

"After last night? Who wouldn't be?" she said, getting up and opening the curtains, allowing the sun to light the room and giving me a view of what seemed to be a beautiful day.

"So...whats for breakfast?" She asked.

"I don't know, I haven't really been here too long. I'm not sure what ponies like to eat for breakfast." I said.

"Do you have pancakes where your from?" she asked.

"Actually, yeah." I laughed.

"Good, then pancakes it is." she said as she headed to the kitchen. I decided to look around her living room for a bit. I got up and walked around, noticing a book lying on a small table next to her recliner. I picked up the book and read the cover.

My Photo Album

Curious, I opened it and flipped through. There were quite a few pictures of her, ranging from what looked like her school days to now. She definitely looked cute when she was younger, almost adorable per say. I smiled and continued to flip through until I noticed a picture of her and a red stallion with an orangish mane. Curious I asked her about it.

"Hey Cheerilee?"

"Yes?"

"Who is this stallion your with in this picture?" I asked.

"Are you going through my Photo Album?" she said.

"Couldn't help myself. haha."

"Well if you must know, that's Big Mac, Applejacks brother. I told you about my break up with him didn't I?" she replied.

"No, you only mentioned that you hadn't had any attention since the break up." I said.

"Well in that case, I guess I could tell you about it. But after we eat ok?"

"Ok, and now that you mention food, I'm kinda hungry too." I said, letting out a laugh.

"If you want the pancakes done any faster then your going to have to come help me." She said, peeking outside the kitchen with a grin. I smiled and entered the kitchen.

After a half an hour of cooking, we managed to make enough pancakes for the two of us. I had to say the pancakes smelled amazing. She showed me where the syrup was and had me place our plates on the table. we both sat down and began to eat. My mouth bursted with flavor at the first bite. It was a delicious mix between a deep rich vanilla flavor and walnuts. It was amazing. Before I knew it my pancakes where all gone and she was staring at me with her eyes wide.

"Um, sorry." I said, scratching the back of my head.

"Wow, you really were hungry weren't you?" she said as she began laughing.

"Well when you work as hard as we did last night, I'm not surprised you ate so quickly."

"Hey, in my defense, those were really good pancakes!" I said, joining her in laughter.

When she finally finished hers, she put the plates in the sink and sat back down at the table.

"Well as promised, I'll tell you about Mac and me."

"I was a bit younger then and had just started teaching in ponyville. I met him after him and his sister brought Applebloom to school for her first day. He honestly had quite an impression on me. While Applebloom was getting settled in and was trying to make a few friends, Mac and I talked. I realized we had a lot in common, so I asked him if he would like to go on a picnic sometime. He said yes, and I'll be honest, I was happier than ever, until now of course. After that first picnic we began seeing eachother more and more. It was just like any other relationship, it had its ups and downs. After a while I realized I was falling in love with him. I went to tell him only to find that he was seeing another mare by the name of Carrot Top. I felt so hurt and betrayed by it, considering he didn't even run it by me. I would've been amiable to starting a herd. But when I caught them, he decided to break it off with me. I cried more that night than I ever had. I felt like my heart had been ripped in two. From then on, it was hard to keep myself together whenever I saw him. And it made things even worse when, just two years ago, Applebloom and her two friends, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle decided that they wanted to hook us up, not knowing that we had been together. They made a love potion and had used it on us. Lets just say I was unable to face Big Mac for even longer after that."

"Since then, I've managed to get over it, and then you came along and stole my heart. I must say, you humans are quite the charmers." She said, her look of sadness turning to laughter.

I smiled back and grabbed her hoof.

"He didn't know what he had. And I won't ever betray you. I was raised to respect women, or in this case, mares." I said. smiling happily.

"You don't know how much that means to me." she replied.

"What do you say we go pay my brother a visit. I'm sure he would like to hear about my new marefriend." I said happily.

Cheerilee smiled and kissed me. "Sounds like a plan."
