Chapter 2 A Week Earlier

Being the only stallion in the Elements of Harmony, it was difficult for Blitz to have any male friends. Ponyville was well known for having a 9:1 ratio of females to males, making the amount of male friends for him, limited. Oddly enough, Twilight thought it would be a great idea for Blitz, Spike, and Big Mac to hang out with each other in the Apple's barn once a week just to be guys. She also felt that it would be best for Spike to with colts around his age. Big Mac though was reluctant at first, since the idea of a ‘child’ like Spike should hang out with them, who were stallions. Yet, after a little reassurance by Blitz and Twilight, with Twilight's explanation on how dragons age, Big Mac decided to give it shot.

And to everyone’s surprise, the night went off without a hitch. All three had a blast and Big Mac took back every bad thing he said about the little guy. There were only the three of them until they ran into Soarin. Rainbow had met Soarin at the Gala. They had quickly became friends but for the wrong reasons. Rainbow obviously to get in the good with the WonderBolts, while Soarin did it to get closer to his friend Applejack. After a few nights at the barn they had become true friends.

A week prior to this week, Rainbow Blitz, Big Mac, Soarin, and Spike were all hanging out at the Sweet Apple Acres’ barn, relaxing with fresh-cold apple cider and steamy-hot apple baked goods for a while. Until Soarin brought up some rumor about Big Mac getting laid with a mare last night.

"So Big Mac, who's the lucky mare that got to enjoy being plowed yesterday?" asked Soarin, wearing an airline jacket with a flyer’s goggles above his forehead.

"Now Soarin, ya'll know it ain't right to brag about how good a mare was in the sack," replied Big Mac. "And besides, how do you know I was with a mare last night?"

"Well, it sure didn't sound like no stallion to me." said Spike, currently wearing a purple hoodie with green flames design. "Also, who else would have access to your house last night while Applejack and Granny Smith were on that Apple's mares only trip, while your little brother was sleeping over at a friends house."

"And how, pray tell, do you know what I was doing last night?" huffed Big Mac, confirming everyone's suspicion.

"It was when I was giving back your mail," replied Spike.

"Spike?" Big Mac said finding Spike's answer unbelievable.

"Hm?"

"Ya'll expect me to believe that you came over to my place to bring me some mail, in the middle of the night?"

"Yes."

"Addressed to me."

"Well, actually to Applejack," Spike corrected.

"And that said mail arrived to your house at 9:00 pm."

"Eeyup," Spike said doing his best Big Mac impression.

"Spike, what kind of idiot do you take me for," Mac said, glaring at the young drake.

"A big one if you had forgotten who delivers Ponyville's mail," Spike said with a smug grin.

Big Mac then sat dumbfounded, remembering a certain blonde, grey cross-eyed mare, with terrible flight coordination and has trouble delivering mail. Even the simplest of letters was too complex for her.

"The kid’s right, you know," said Soarin breaking the silence.

"Well alright I'll come clean. I did had a little … fun last night." Big Mac said, his face had turned more redder than usual."But that don't mean I'm tellin any of you about her."

"Oh, you're no fun sometimes you know that" said Soarin. Mac only responded with a death glare. "Alright alright, we'll change the subject then. Sheesh.."

Soarin was thinking of something to talk about until he noticed Rainbow Blitz just sitting idly by, barely touching his glass of apple cider.

"Uh, Blitz are you ok?" asked a concerned Soarin, both Spike and Mac’s attention now on Blitz.

"Is something bothering you Blitz," said Spike. "Usually, you'd drink up a gallon or two whenever we hung out and had some cider." said Spike.

"Huh, oh it nothing." Blitz replied.

"Nothing? Blitz buddy we've been here for two hours now, and you haven't said a word at all." said Big Mac.

"Not to mention, that's the same glass of cider that you had since we came here." added Spike.

"It’s nothing, it’s just something on my mind that all."

"Well apparently it must be something serious enough if you're not drinking any apple cider," said Big Mac. "Now what seems to be the problem partner?"

Before Blitz could say anything, Spike said,"Oh, I know what it is." everyone turned to hear Spike's answer. "You're upset that you have to spend an entire weekend with Pinkie Pie."

"Uh, Spike? There are two things wrong with your guess. For one thing, I've been ok with Pinkie Pie ever since Gilda came into town. And two, I willingly volunteered to help her watch over Sugar Cube Corner." Blitz said in a deadpan tone also staring at him with an expression to match.

Spike, with his hood over his head, stood there feeling ashamed at what he just said. Soarin then threw in his guess. "Did your pet die?"

"Nah," replied Blitz. "Tank is still alive and kicking. Slowly, but still kicking. And besides, Fluttershy told me that by the time Tank dies we'll all have grand kids."

"...Do you have a crush on somepony?" said Big Mac out of the blue.

Rainbow stood at awe at what Big Mac just said. ‘How... how did he know that?’ Blitz thought to himself his cheeks started to blush.

"Judging by the red cheeks I hit the jackpot, didn't I?"

Blitz instinctively yelled back at the red giant,"How did you know that?!" Big Mac just sat there, unfazed and calm as usual.

"Blitz, you been my best friend for a long time now, and I know how you feel. Also, AJ told me you asked her for advice on dating." Blitz’s eyes began to narrow at what he said.

"Wait, Applejack told you?" asked an angry Blitz. I knew I shouldn't have asked that orange bubble butt for advice. Blitz thought to himself.

"Well, I did see ya'll leaving my sister's window the other day. And when I asked her, she told me what had happened. Though, she never said you ever telling her what your crush's name was. Mind filling us in?" asked Big Mac.

"Sure, not before you mind telling me the name mare you were with last night?" asked Blitz with a grin.

Mac smirked before replying, "Alright, fair enough. But I will say this, don't be afraid to tell whoever you love how you truly feel. Cause if you keep quiet about it for too long, somepony else will take her away from you, and you may never see her again.”

"You, know what? That's exactly what AJ said. And you know what? You're both right. I should tell her how about and starting tomorrow I'm going to do just that." said Blitz feeling like his old self again.

Big Mac began to smile and said. "And to think it only took two talks from my sister and one from me to finally get you to share your feelings with your crush."

Blitz gave Big Mac a confused look. "Uh, Mac I only talked to your sister two day ago."

Then it was Mac turn to look confused."Wait but I saw you flying out of her window yesterday morning." said Big Mac raising an eyebrow.

"It wasn't me. I was in the library reading "Daring Do" all day yesterday. Heck Spike, was there with me. I am right, Spike."

"Yeah he wanted to reread the entire series... again." said Spike, groaning.

"If it wasn’t you then who did I see flying out of-" He stop mid-sentence to see their WonderBolt friend missing. "I guess that would explain the way my sister was acting funny before she left." He sat there, quietly looking into the distance, not paying attention to what Blitz and Spike were talking about.

"I guess this means we're gonna have to find a new guy to replace Soarin now," Blitz said already on his tenth glass of cider.
"I'm wondering how Big Mac is going to kill him," asked Spike.

"I don't know.” Blitz said. “Mac’ll probably hang him, beat the living daylights outta him till his skull caves in, shove poison-filled apple pies down his throat, or maybe pump him up with cider till he pops-"

"Or Mac’ll turn him into cupcakes," said Spike, interrupting his pegasus friend.

"Yeah or turn him into cup-" Blitz stop as he realizes what his friend had just suggested."Wait, turn who into...wait-WHAT!?"

"Oh, sorry it just an old story that Celestia always told me and Twilight when we were kids," said Spike, smiling while receiving a disturbed look from Blitz. After a while, Big Mac shook off his daze and saw a shocked Blitz and a smiling Spike.

“Sorry about that guys. I kinda dazed off there for a second. Did I miss anything you two,” asked Big Mac.

"No, nothing important… Anyway, back to the question at hand. What are you going to do to Soarin when you see him again," asked Blitz.

"Nothing," answered Big Mac.

"Really dude? He's dating your sister behind your back and you’re not angry," Spike asked.

"Why should I? My sister is old enough to date whoever she wants. If that person happens to be Soarin, so be it.,” Big Mac said, drinking his cider. "Now if Soarin breaks my sister's heart, that's a different story."

"So, you’re going to tell him that, right?" said Spike raising an eyebrow.

"Eenope," said Big Mac, calling it a night.

"Let me guess, you're going to scare the living crap out of him until it gets old, or he confesses, ain't you?" asked Blitz laughing at Big Mac's sick, but funny, joke.

"Eeyup," said Big Mac, nearing the entrance of the barn.

"Oh, and ya'll can take whatever food or cider is left with you if you want." And with that Big Mac went off to his bed to sleep. All the while, hearing both Blitz and Spike fighting over the remains.

The Next Day

Blitz, was flying out to Fluttershy's cottage to talk to her. Even though he was covered in bruises from his fight with Spike yesterday, he still wanted to meet Fluttershy.

"Alright Blitz, time to finally ask out Fluttershy!" Blitz said to himself, showing a grin that could rival even Pinkie's."Thanks to the AJ and Mac’s advice, I finally found the courage to tell her how I really feel."

Within a few minutes, Rainbow Blitz arrived at her cottage. He was just about to knock on the door, until he heard her laughing from her backyard. "Huh. She must be having a picnic in the backyard again." Blitz walked over to Flutter's backyard expecting Shy to be her furry little buddies or anyone of their friends. What he saw however, was that she wasn't with any animal, but a stallion. And not just any stallion, it was his good friend Big Mac himself. Blitz quickly flew on top of Fluttershy’s roof, to avoid being noticed..

’What is Big Mac doing here with Flutters?’ Blitz through, suddenly feeling worried. ’He must be here to deliver food for her animals. Yeah, that's it! There’s no way he’s on a date with Fluttershy, right?’

"Thanks for bringing the food I asked for. My little darlings were getting oh so very hungry," said Fluttershy,

’Thank sweet Celestia!’ thought a greatly relieved Blitz.

"Oh, don't worry Miss Shy. I'm just doing my job like always," said Big Mac with small smile.

’What was I worried about? Big Mac already got a marefriend, and I know Big Mac. He doesn't do one night stands and cheating is not like him.’ Blitz decided to wait for Big Mac to leave so he and Fluttershy could be alone. But what he saw next utterly destroyed his heart.

Fluttershy kissed Big Mac.Not a kiss on the cheek like she usually does. But a long passionate kiss on the lips. What made it worse was that it looked like Big Mac was enjoying every last moment of it, even wrapping his arms around her. When they finally separated, their tongues were still hang out, the two of them breathing heavily. Fluttershy finally responded to her big red lug."You know you can stop calling me miss now, right?"

"Sorry sweetheart, it’s just a natural reflex."

"That’s ok, just as long as you remember to come by later on tonight." Fluttershy said with a little blush.

Big Mac quickly moved behind her, groping both Fluttershy's left breast and ass, causing her to not only blush, but forcing her wings stand at attention from the sensations. "Why wait till tonight." Big Mac whispered in her ear.”I have plenty of time to help you feed your friends.”

“I would really love that,” Fluttershy moaned. “But I really do need to feed my animals, so I can’t right now.”

“Ah understand. I’ll leave you be,” Big Mac said a little disappointed as he let go of the mare.

Seeing this Fluttershy then wraps her around her lover and seductively said. “Oh don’t worry Macintosh. If it makes you feel any better, I have something special for you.”

“Hmm, like what?”

“You’ll have wait till tonight to found out.”

“Well tonight it is” he said right before giving the pegasi’s behind a good smack!

And with Big Mac left, leaving Fluttershy very aroused.

Blitz's heart was nothing more than dust now. All he wanted to now was go home, curl up into a ball, and hoped some magic force will suddenly make him disappear. He made a poor attempt at a mad dash away from the cottage, snapping Fluttershy out of her trance. She then saw her oldest friend flying at a speed even she would call slow. What really caught her eye, was the fact that Blitz was covered in bites marks, claw marks, burn marks, and even bandages. Fluttershy, being her worrisome self, caught up to Blitz to learn what happened to him.

"Rainbow are you ok? You look like got in a fight with a ..." Fluttershy being too scared to finish her sentence until finally she said, "Dragon."

Rainbow who just wanted to go home at this point, decided to act normal so he could get away from her faster. "Yeah. Me and Spike fought over who gets to keep all the cider, since Big Mac bought more than we needed. Besides you should see Spike after I was done with him. Ain't nobody going to take free cider away from me not even both of the Princesses could stop me," He laughed, trying his best to hide the anguish growing inside him.

-Meanwhile at the library-

"Uuuugggh," groaned Spike. He was blinded with two black eyes, an ice pack on his crotch, and bruises all over his body.

"Spike, you should know better than to get in Blitz's way when it comes to free cider," said Twilight.

"I thought I could take him. And I would have won too if Rainbow hadn't kicked me in the balls," said Spike, holding his ice pack tighter at the memories of the previous night began to haunt him.

"Just be glad you weren't fighting Pinkie or, Celestia forbid, Berry Punch. Either one of them would’ve really done a number on you."

"Twilight, I may like cider as much as the next pony, but I'm not that crazy for cider."

"Oh, I know I just hope you learned something from all this."

"Yeah, wear a cup next time. And before I forget, can I get some more ice, please?"

"...Not exactly what I was thinking but close enough. I'll be right back."

-Back with Fluttershy and Blitz-

Fluttershy relieved to see that everything is alright said, "Well, if you are not feeling well, you can always come by my place anytime. Okay?"

"Sure Fluttershy," Blitz said, still acting as if nothing wrong.

"Well see ya later then Blitz." With that, Fluttershy left for home to prepare for her lover.

"Yeah, I guess so." Blitz said, flying off back to his home, showing his true emotions the trek home.

-Later that day, at Blitz's house.-

The cyan stallion laid on his bed, curled up with his favorite pet tortoise crying his eyes out. "Why?" he simply asked."Why, out of all the mares in the world, did it have to be Fluttershy?"

Tank tried nudging his owner to cheer him up, but to no avail. Blitz sniffed.“Thanks Tank, but a simple nudge isn't going to cheer me that easily. Thanks for trying,” said Blitz, returning a nudge to his pet.

’Dang it. That always cheer me up, and if that won't work I don't know will.’ thought the shelled creature.

“Tank, I don't what to do. My best friend is dating my childhood friend, who I had a crush on ever since we meet at flight camp."

’Don't feel sad master you still have me and your friends who love you.’

"I'm so confused right now Tank. I'm mad at Big Mac alright, but I still see him as my best friend. I'm mad at him for stealing the girl I loved for most of my life, but I'm somewhat happy that Fluttershy is with him. But no matter how I look at it, it still depresses me to no end to the point I could kill myself."

The tortoise turned to his owner and gave him as concerned a look as a tortoise could give.

"Don't worry buddy," Blitz said, petting his pet's shell with a little smile returning to his face. "I'll never actually do it. I don't want you or my friends to be sad just because I couldn't get the girl of my dream. Also without me the Elements of Harmony would be useless without all six of us.”

’Good. Cause I refuse to go back to Angel and his bad turtle jokes again. I'm a tortoise, Celestia damn it. Not a turtle!’ Tank thought as he went back into his shell to go to sleep.

"Your right Tank, some sleep could do me some good," Blitz said, getting in bed to go sleep alongside his pet.

For the remainder of the week, Blitz stayed in his room cooped up, just talking about his problems with Tank.Tank didn't mind, if talking to him made his owner feel happy then so be it. Blitz became less and less depressed as the days went by, though he remained disheartened. Blitz only came outside for only doing his job as weather pony, and to stock up of food for both Tank and himself. However, on one of his food runs for Tank, he ran into Pinkie, much to his disappointment.

"Hey Blitzy! Lucky that we bumped into one another! I was just wondering if your still going to help me watch over the bakery tomorrow?" Pinkie asked, grinning.

Aw man, I completely forgot about that! What's worse, I can't get out this. I swore a Pinkie Promise, and nopony breaks a Pinkie promise.Well I guess a weekend with her might cheer me up, thought Blitz."Sure thing Pinkie. I just need to find someone to watch over Tank for the weekend."

"YAAAY," said an excited Pinkie, hugging Blitz tightly. Even though Pinkie wore loose-fitting clothes, Blitz could still feel her breasts rub against his chest. He began to blush a little as their presence took up more and more of his thoughts. "Hey, why don't you let Fluttershy take care of Tank? She’s not doing anything and she'll love to watch over him again." Even though he’s been trying to avoid Fluttershy and Big Mac, he knew that Fluttershy was the only one who can do it on such short notice.

"Ok, guess that problem’s settled. I suppose I'll see you tomorrow then," said Blitz, walking away.

"Oh and before I forget I was wondering if you’re ok with us making some pies while we’re there."

"Sure beats just sitting around."

"Great! I can't wait til tomorrow. We’re going to have so much fun." Pinkie said while skipping off to Celestia knows where.

"I may never understand that mare," Blitz said to himself. “Well, better get Tank to Fluttershy. Hopefully I can at least have the nerve to ask her to watch over Tank." With that, Blitz went home and prepared for the next day. It was sure to be a long weekend.

Author's Note

If your wondering why I don't make a dragon ball joke then you have no originality.Anyway I just want to thank to Sharky and Armendarez for editing. Also I might make a bonus chapter featuring Fluttershy and Big Mac's date.
