Darkness

Standing outside a cafe in the middle of Ponyville sighing he walked into the cafe after a 3 and a half months of dating Fluttershy Ray thought deeply into what she had said to him those three months ago. So knowing next to nothing about this world he began reading books on mating/relationship forming of ponies in this world apparently they form herds or a singular relationship with one stallion of there choosing many ponies have done research into the subject and come up with a simple thing that ponies form true love connections with a stallion of their choosing. After reading that book Ray was confused why had Fluttershy chosen him maybe it was the heat of the moment kind of deal like when people form connections with those who saved them or something. Walking into the cafe he made his way over to a table where Fluttershy sat smiling at her Ray looked at his marefriend today she was in a simple green sundress that stopped just above her ankles smiling back at him she said "So how is your day going ?"

"Pretty good AJ has me moving the barrels and Silver Night is starting to piss me off bossin me around as if she owns the farm."

"Well it can't be that bad." she whispers taking a sip of her drink "I mean we could change the subject if-"

"Fluttershy its okay hows your day going ?"

"Um well you see..........i may be going into heat soon and some warthogs just came by my house for some food."

"Hold up what did you say before that ?"

"Huh oh well.............um..............im going into heat soon."

"Okay i heard that one a little better one more time."

"IM GOING INTO HEAT SOON !!!!" she nearly yelled Ray blushed when doing his research he came across the heat passage of one book and it explained that when they go into heat they're sex drive goes through the roof nodding he said "Ok so should i stay away for a week or-"

"I want to spend it with you."

"Fluttershy we've only been together for 3 months and i think we should take things slow."

"I know but,,,,,,,its just i feel safe with you and i can trust you and it doesn't happen for another three days or so,,,,,,,so please think about it." Fluttershy giving Ray the biggest puppy dog eyes he had every seen in his life reaching forward he placed a hand on her cheek and said "Ok ill think about it, so what are we eating ?" smiling she told him about what she ordered the two of them.

(Sweet Apple Acres)

Walking through the orhcards making his way to the barn Ray began to whistle to himself of a song he heard back in New York one of the few that brought good thoughts to his mind (The song is Let Her Go by Passenger) finally reaching the barn Ray walked in to see Applejack taking in stock of the cider he had place there yesterday. Walking up to her Ray tapped her shoulder causing the mare to jump high into the air spinning around to see who had pocked her she nearly fell to the ground grabbing her Ray wrapped his arm around he midsection and holding her there. Blushing deeply Applejack thanked Ray and stood up brushing off her shirt and getting some wrinkles out as best as she could looking closley Ray could see that she had put some work into her looks (even though she looked good without trying in his opinion) looking at him she said "What is it do ah got somthin on me ?" chuckling Ray said "Nah just wondering why your all gussied up ?"

"Oh that well the mayor said someone is coming to the town and everyone should at least look good somethin about funding for some stuff."

"Ahhh i see well all i know is i got work to do and your looking good today."

"Thank yah kindly." AJ said pulling her hat down covering her blushing face turning she began to get back to work when Ray said "So can i ask you something ?"

"Sure yah can sugar cube."

"Ok well yesterday me and Fluttershy were talking and well she asked me somthing."

"Ok what did she ask yah ?"

"Could you promise not to tell anyone at all ?" Ray said giving AJ a stern look turning to the man she smiled and went through the Pinkie Promise routine sighing Ray went with it "Ok she is going into heat and wants to be with me what does that mean ?"

"Well it just means she trust yah to yah know take care of her needs." AJ said winking at Ray whos frown deepemd "I know but why me i mean i'm not even the same species and she's trusting me with this massive thing from the way she worded it she's never been with another stallion."

"Thats true the reason being shes to shy and she doesn't trust that the stallions want her for her."

"What do you mean ?"

"You know shes an element right ?"

"Well yeah i do but thats just some junk who cares about that ?"

"Good answer anyways you remember Grand Judgment ?"

"Yeah if that prick ever shows up i'll-"

"Yes we know anyways you answered one question yourself."

"Ok but from the wording of what you just said theres more."

"Yes if you look she more..." AJ looked around then made an hourglass figure with her hands ".....Developed then the rest of us so some stallions go after he just for that."

"Ahhh well thats hard to miss but cause of how i was raised i look for the personality in a woman."

"Ding ding ding and thats whah she wants you to make her into a mare during this heat."

"What ?" Ray said balling up a fist AJ looked at Ray and from what he saw he could have sworn steam and fire came from her ears Ray did the only thing his brain could do he scream a very unmanly scream taking the pose of a woman who just saw a mouse in her kitchen.

(3 and a half hours later)

Ray was holding an ice pack to the back of his head sitting on the house steps with AJ after some 'talking' to Ray understood what AJ was trying to get at standing up Ray said "I'm gonna go give my answer to fluttershy !" nodding AJ just sipped her lemonade the said "Maybe you should take it *thump* never mind." looking at the now unconcious evolved sighing she slung him over her shoulder and tossed him onto there couch downstairs.

Walking around her house AJ couldn't think of anything to do all the work for that day was done 2 hours ahead of schedule sighing she walked back in the leaving room leaning next to the sound asleep mane smiling she thought 'He is even cuter when he's asleep Fluttershy is one lucky mare maybe i should ask her......nah ah'll wait alittle longer.' leaning forward she tapped heads with the evolved and made her way upstairs to shower and go to bed.

(two days later)

Walking along the path to Fluttershy's Ray held in his arm's a bob cat that had fallen out of a tree and hurt itself looking down at the feline he muttered "So its not true that cats land on their feet all the time." looking up he saw the small cottage come into view. Walking up to the door Ray knocked the door opened to reveal fluttershy dressed in a green tank top (one size to small) and grey sweatpants looking up at the man she gave him a kiss and asked "So what brings you here ?" smiling Ray motioned to the bob cat in his arms gasping she grabbed the feline and ran inside to check up on him following her and shuting the door behind him Ray caught a book and looked to the rabbit that threw it at him "Nice try maybe next time." placing it on a table he went to the check up room seeing Fluttershy go over the animal sighing with relief "She only strained a muscle and twisted a paw she should be fine by tomorrow."

"Thats good hey Fluttershy i've been thinking about what you asked me to do and-"

"O-o-oh if you don't want to do it thats fine."

"No i just wanted to ask you if you are sure i'm the right one for you ?"

"Yes Ray you may think your a monster but to me...." Grabbing his hands in her Fluttershy looked into his eyes ".....your the pony i've been waiting for my entire life you are dating me for me and not some title or this." Fluttershy said letting go of Ray's hands to motion to her body smiling Ray said "Fluttershy there more to you than just your looks and i'll be glad to help you this year and any other year you would need my help with."

Sqealin Fluttershy tackled him giving him kisses all over his face chuckling Ray looked up to see the bob cat glaring angerly at the man. Grunting he pushed Fluttershy lightly behind him as the bob cat attacked his face for a third time in his entire life Ray screamed in a very unmanly way.
