"So, Mac, like my pie?" giggled Pinkie in a flirty tone.

"Eeyup!" agreed Mac as he took a slice of the always tasty apple pie his marefriend baked.

"Can you believe it has been one whole entire year!" gasped Pinkie with excitement.

"Ah know, my longest relationship yet." responded the red stallion as he ate his slice.

Both Pinkie and Mac were eating alone at Sugercube Corner, the entire place decorated to be romantic and intimate. The room softly lit by candle light. "Mine's too!" exclaimed Pinkie, extremely happy.

"Eeyup...to another whole year!" nodded the stallion.

Soon, Pinkie had an idea, a dirty idea. She purposely dropped her fork on the floor, she made sure it landed underneath the table they were sitting at. "Oh...silly me, I dropped my fork." the pink pony giggled. "Let me crawl under the table to get it so I can clean it." she ducked down.

"No need!" interrupted Mac as he gave her another fork. "Have mine."

Pinkie was a bit saddened when he did that. "But...you didn't have too..."

"Ah insist, that fork is probably dirty now, so have this clean one instead." politely offered the stallion.

Pinkie reluctantly decided to abandon the plan and accept the new fork. She sat back down, her mane slightly deflated. "Darn it, it should've been obvious that I did that so I can give him his 'mouth present' under the table, I wish he wasn't afraid to be intimate with me sometimes."

Soon, silence fell between the two of them.

"So," the mare broke the silence. "what do you want do to after pie? Maybe have another pie?" she winked.

"Ah already ate the chocolate cake and apple pie ya baked me...ah don't think ah can have more."

"Not THAT kind of pie...my OTHER type pie, silly." she tried to clarify.

Mac gave Pinkie a blank stare.

"The kind that tastes like cotton candy and is nice, warm and moist?" clarified more.

"..."

"The kind that has a 'cherry' on top?"

Still nothing from Mac.

"Ugh...forget it." said a defeated Pinkie, it was extremely hard to flirt with Mac when she used euphemisms.

Silence fell once again between them.

"So...what was it that ya had planned?"

"Lick my happy fun place until I see pretty shiny stars." "Oh...forget it." Pinkie was even more dejected, her mane deflated even more.

"Ya sure? Is there anything ah can do to-"

Something inside Pinkie just snapped, she couldn't take it anymore so she climbed on the table and grabbed Mac by the neck "LICK MY DAMN PUSSY YOU TWIT!" angrily snarled the pink pony to her coltfriend.

Mac was clearly intimidated. "Uh..."

Pinkie quickly snapped out of her momentary rage, let Mac go and climbed down the table. "Uh...sorry about that." nervously chuckled the ashamed mare. "It just that...it's been a year already and we have hardly ever been intimate. I want to make you happy Mac, but I can't do it if you are afraid." she explained.

"Ah already told you..."

"I know...you don't want our relationship to be nothing but happy fun time...I know." Pinkie felt bad.

"Well...ah did-"

"Because it was my birthday."

"And ah let ya-"

"Because it was your birthday, and then again because it was Apple Bloom's birthday."

Mac realized that Pinkie was right, he has been avoiding sexual activity with Pinkie for fear their relationship will revolve around it. He didn't want that, he's been in those kinds of relationships enough in his life.

"Please Mac...I'm your marefriend...and I want to make you smile, moan and scream my name in joy because of me." pleaded Pinkie.

Mac felt bad, especially after he saw her make a puppy-dog face. "Okay." he finally caved.

"You mean it?" Pinkie grinned.

"Eeyup."

"AWESOME! Let's go!" Pinkie grabbed Mac's hoof and was about to drag him to her room, but suddenly, the front door opened and the Cakes with their foals walked in. "Mr and Mrs Cake?" she wasn't expecting them. "You're early."

"We know...but we kind of encountered some...unpleasantness...at the banquet." stated a clearly upset Mr Cake.

"Look hun, we can still talk about-"

"NO!" snapped Mr Cake as he interrupted his wife. "Did all those years of marriage mean nothing to you!"

"They do!"

"I don't want to hear it!"

The husband and wife decided to take the argument to the kitchen, they dropped the foals to be with Pinkie.

Both Pinkie and Mac stood in awkward silence at what just happened. They could hear plates shattering from the kitchen. "Uh...ah think it's best that ah leave...sorry." stated a guilty Mac.

"I think so." said a very saddened Pinkie Pie. Her mane was completely flat now.

Mac kissed Pinkie on the lips goodbye and sadly walked out of the bakery.

Cheerilee was at home, she sat in front of the fireplace as she drank her hot cocoa. Something to calm her nerves after a long day of school. She has all forget about Big Mac, after he started his relationship with Pinkie Pie, she immediately went home and destroyed all evidence of the stallion ever being in her life. She took pleasure in watching it all burn away.

KNOCK! KNOCK!

She turned to her front door to hear someone there. She got up and trotted to it.

"Hello?" Cheerilee said as she opened the door. She immediately was that it was Twilight Sparkle.

"Oh good evening Miss Cheerilee!" greeted Twilight. "I was wondering if I could borrow an astronomy textbook from you? I would love to use mine but let's just say that a certain baby dragon accidentally burned it and I need it for my astronomical observations tonight." the unicorn explained.

"Oh, long time no see Miss Sparkle." greeted Cheerilee. "I think I may have one stored up in the basement, make yourself comfortable for a bit and I'll be right back." the mare directed as she trotted to the basement.

Twilight sat down on the couch as she waited, taking in her surroundings. She saw a large pile of homework and assignments that needed to be graded on the dinning room table. Most of the photos on the wall were actually teaching awards, pictures of her close family and dozens of class photos of the classes she teached.

"Here you go...it's for middle schoolers but it's the highest grade level astronomy textbook I have." she gave the book to the unicorn.

"It will do for now." she gladly accepted it. "So...how long have you been teaching?" asked Twilight.

"About twelve years now." she answered.

"Must have kept you extremely busy huh?"

"With so much time devoted to your students and studies, it is hard to find free time, much less find a relationship." admitted the teacher.

"I know the feeling." sighed Twilight. She knows how it is like when studies and work take priority over your personal life.

"Well...you can keep the book for as long as you like...I probably won't be teaching Middle School astronomy any time soon anyways."

"Uh...thanks, but I'll return it to you once I get another copy of the burned book sent to me." humbly explained the mare as she trotted out the door. "Have a good night."

"The same Miss Sparkle." she said as she saw Twilight walk out of the door.

"At least she doesn't see me as a crazy bitch." mumbled Cheerilee to herself.

"Oh Rarity, this is just not working out!" exclaimed a panicked Fluttershy.

"What's not working out?" said Rarity, too focused on her work to give her full attention to her friend.

"Me and Thunderlane!" answered Fluttershy. "It is just not working out at all."

Rarity stopped what she was doing. "Don't you normally talk about these things with your cousin Joy Stick?"

"I was...but he's over at Dash's house right now...having fun" she yellow pegasus blushed.

The unicorn gave a frustrated sigh. "Darling, I am flattered that you went to me to talk about this...but I am busy filling out this order for Sapphire Shore's upcoming tour, she wants these costumes to be so good that it will make her exclaim 'damn girl' when she sees it" she explained. "Or at least that's what she told me...between you and me, I think she talks...odd."

"Oh Rarity! I need your help!" pleaded the pegasus.

"Well," began Rarity. "what seems to be the trouble between you and Thunderlane?"

"Well..."

Fluttershy was bored as she sat next to Thunderlane who was busy playing video games.

"So...are we going to cuddle or not? No rush or anything, just wanted to know." she asked.

"After this level!" he responded without taking his eyes off the screen.

---

Both Thunderlane and Fluttershy walked into a restaurant for their date. The black pegasus happily walked in first, he didn't bother leaving the door open for his marefriend.

It just caused Fluttershy to accidentally hit her face hard again the door. "OOF!"

---

Thunderlane and Fluttershy were happily kissing each other at Fluttershy's cottage. It starts out normally but then, the stallion started going to far and he pinned his marefriend to the couch, sloppily making-out with her. The yellow pegasus did not like that at all.

"Wait...I'm not ready!" she protested.

"Well I am." said the stallion as he smirked, his hoof snaked its way to its goal but Fluttershy bucked him off hard just in the nick of time.

Thunderlane was dazed on the floor. "Sorry." he said.

"Wait...he almost-"

"Hoofed me...yes..." Fluttershy found it to embarrassing to talk about at the moment.

"That is so un-gentlecolt of him...everyone knows that it is the mare that directs the show during intimate moments." Rarity stated, slightly disgusted from what she heard.

"So...you see my problem?"

"He doesn't pay attention to you, but when he does, he goes to far...yeah...I dated a stallion like that."

"So you can help me?" smiled Fluttershy, hoping that Rarity would.

"Of course I will...anything for a friend." assured the unicorn as she smiled.

Rock
You are a rock

Gray
You are gray
Because you are a rock

"Wow...that's deep." responded a stallion who was pulling his cart as he listened to his latest passenger's poem.

"Thanks," said the passenger without any hint of emotion. "I wrote thousands of poems about rocks."

"Prolific huh?"

"I have a lot of free time." she said, dry.

The cart soon arrived at its destination, Ponyville. "Here we are ma'am, Ponyville."

"Thanks." she said as she trotted into town.

The gray colored, emotionless mare trotted down the main street, focused on reaching her destination. But she kind of had trouble finding it. "Hmmm...." looks around for a pony to ask for directions.

"Need help ma'am?" asked a deep voice.

The mare turned around to see a large crimson stallion in front of her, she was in complete awe, but it didn't show on her face. "I was just wondering if you could direct me to my destination."

"Eeyup. Where are ya goin'?"

"To your local bakery called 'Sugarcube Corner'." she responded.

"Ah...it's right down the street on yer left side, ya can't miss it." the stallion directed.

"Thank you sir, I appreciate your help...what is your name by the way?" she asked.

"MacIntosh Apple...but ya can call me 'Big Mac'." answered the crimson stallion.

"Ah...well my name is Maude." she answered back. "Do you like rocks?"

Mac just shrugged his shoulders.

"Well it was nice meeting with you, but I must go, see you later." she dryly stated before she trotted away.

"Eeyup."

Maude made her way to Sugarcube Corner, but she couldn't help but be in awe. "He's very attractive and muscular, must have very good genetics, I must ask my sister Pinkie for more information on him."

At a cafe that Maude passed by, Cheerilee calmly drank her traditional after school tea, she let the stress of the long and busy school day melt away.

"Oh, there you are Cheerilee." exclaimed Twilight as she trotted up to her table.

"Why Twilight," the purple mare was surprised to see Twilight. "what brings you here?"

"Just came by to return the astronomy book you let me borrow to you." explained the lavender unicorn.

"I said you can keep it as long as you want Twilight."

"I know...but it didn't feel right to just keep it." she gave Cheerilee the book.

"Thank you."

"Oh, and I also made a few annotations in the pages where I see it."

Cheerilee flipped through the book to see a lot of notes and corrections written on the margins in red ink. "You did all of that in a single night?"

"Uh...couldn't help it." sheepishly grinned Twilight.

"Maybe that could be of some help to me."

"What do you mean?" Twilight was confused.

"How would like to help me correct and grade all of the classwork tonight? I have a large backlog of stuff to go over and I thought since I helped you, it only seems fair that you help me?"

"Why, I would be glad to help out in anyway I could." smiled Twilight in agreement.

"Really?"

"My nights are usually free for studying, so I can find plenty of time to help out."

Cheerilee breathed a sigh of relief. "Thanks for being such help Twilight, it's kind of hard to find such good friends these days."

"Not a problem," nodded the unicorn. "anyways, I better get going and finish my errands for the day, see you tonight!" Twilight waved goodbye and trotted away.

"The same!" cheerfully exclaimed Cheerilee, happy to have someone to talk to again.

TO BE CONTINUED...

Score Three

Maude managed to find Sugarcube Corner with little trouble, she knocked on the door.

The door was soon answered by Mr Cake. They just quietly stared at each other for a moment. "Pinkie!" yelled the stallion. "Your sister is here!"

No answer.

"She must be in her room doing her work-out routine...it's upstairs, third door to the left." stated Mr. Cake as he showed Maude inside.

"Thank you, this is a very nice establishment you have here." noted the gray mare as she looked around inside. She quickly made her way upstairs, she did not bother to engage in small talk or any of the other pleasantries, she was here for one reason, and that was to see her sister.

She reached Pinkie's room and heard work-out music from the other side, she opened the door just a crack to see Pinkie, in her work-out clothes, doing aerobics, cardio and dancing.

"Oh yeah! Feel that cupcake burn away." exclaimed Pinkie to herself. The work-out music soon ended. "That was fun! Can't wait to do it again next week!"

Maude decided that it was a great moment to enter. "Uh...hello?" dryly stated the gray mare to her pink coated sister.

Pinkie turned around and saw, to her surprise, her sister. She gasped. "Maude! OH MY GOODNESS!" quickly ran up and hugged her. Maude showed a bit of shock and surprise on her face, but not much, from the tight hug.

"Hey sister."

"It's really really you! You came all this way to visit me!" Pinkie was super giddy and hyper. She still had energy even after breaking a sweat during her exercise.

"Just thought I'd come over and visit you seeing as you visited me last time with you friends." Maude stated as Pinkie stopped her hug so she can let her sister breathe.

"It is so super-duper that you did! So how's the family? How are our other siblings? How's the rock farm? Boulder?" she asked quickly.

"Pretty well, doing good, off-season and a bit under the weather." the gray mare answered all of the questions in one sentence.

"That's awesome! Tell them I said that Pinkie loves them and misses them so much!"

"I will."

"Oooh....I almost forgot! Something amazing happened to me since we last saw each other!" exclaimed Pinkie as she literately ripped off her work-out clothes in a fit of boundless energy from here sister being here.

"Uh...what was it?" Maude, emotionless, asked.

"I have a very super special special-somepony!" she excitedly announced.

"Wow...that's awesome." a small tiny smile formed on Maude's lips.

"IT IS!" Pinkie gasped. "I'm going to visit him and his friends to Ponytones rehearsal later when I deliver them their deserts!"

"I would be glad to meet this special somepony of yours. I always thought you would scare away stallions with your...impossible...behavior." on the inside, the gray mare was proud of her sister.

"OH COOL! Then let's go! The cakes are almost done!" Pinkie grabbed Maude's hoof and dragged her downstairs.

"Okay...break time...rest your voices everyone!" Rarity announced to her group mates, Toe-Tapper, Big Mac and Torch Song.

The three ponies dispersed as they went on break. Toe-Tapper and Torch Song began a conversation, while Mac began to read his magazine.

"So, Mac darling," began Rarity as she sat next to Mac. "how are things between you and Pinkie going?"

"Goin' good so far." Mac simply answered.

"Yeah, I never seen Pinkie so happy...well...more happier, if that was possible." chuckled the mare.

As if right on cue, Pinkie busted through the door and zoomed in. "Snacks are here!" announced the pink pony.

"Pinkie never misses a cue." smiled Rarity at her friend.

Pinkie sat the food up on a nearby table, as Maude calmly walked in. Maude's eyes briefly went wide when she saw...him

"There he is...that stallion with great genetics...stay cool Maude." she said in her mind. Maude just took a deep breath before calmly walking up to Pinkie and the members of the Ponytones.

"Oh Maude...it is nice to meet you again." greeted Rarity.

"The same...how's Tom?" asked the gray mare.

Rarity immediately blushed.

"Who's Tom?" asked Toe-Tapper.

"Uh...no one important." nervously blushed the unicorn. "Just an old one flame from several years ago." took Maude to the side. "No one must ever know that I once dry humped a rock." she whispered to the gray pony.

"I dry humped rocks many times, there's no shame in that."

"Just don't tell anyone...it's between you, me and my friends." instructed the unicorn.

Maude just nodded.

"Oh Mackie!" chimed Pinkie as she trotted over to Big Mac. "How's practice going my super special special-somepony?"

Maude's ears perked up and her eyes briefly went wide in shock. "That's her special-somepony? This is awkward."

"Doin' pretty well...we'll be performin' several new songs next week." explained the crimson stallion to his marefriend.

"Ooh...I would love for you to meet my sister...Maude!" grabbed Mac and dragged him to her sister.

On the inside, Maude was nervous, but it did not show on the outside. "You're that nice stallion who directed me to Pinkie." stated the mare.

"Howdy...again." greeted Mac.

"Nice to meet you again." greeted Maude back. "So...you sing?"

"Eeyup, bass."

"I write poetry, want to hear one?"

Mac just shrugged his shoulders, "If ya want to."

"Okay." Maude began

Is there anything I love more than rocks?
anything more than the gray and the grain?
someone who can steal my heart like a hawk
so that my love will never be in vain.

I have always loved rocks since I was young
they always listen to what you are saying
but I am looking for someone that's sprung
and finding love is so worth surveying.

Is there someone that is better than rocks?
someone than can make me forget the gray?
love can always be sneaky like a fox
need someone who can always make me say:

"I am so in awe of you my lover,
I wonder what new things we'll discover?"

"That was good." stated an impressed Rarity.

"I know right...she's good." agreed Pinkie.

Little did anyone knew, but Maude made that sonnet up on the spot in response to the big handsome stallion in front of her.

"Eeyup." agreed Mac with Pinkie. "She's good."

"Anyways, I must get going, have to show Maude around to my other friends." Pinkie kissed Mac on the cheek, before zooming out of the room.

"Pleasure meeting you again Mac." dryly stated Maude.

"Eeyup."

Maude walked out and caught up with Pinkie outside.

"So Maude...where to?" asked Pinkie.

"Uh...can I tell you something first?"

Pinkie was instantly intrigued and what her sister will tell her.

Score Four

"And done!" exclaimed Twilight as the final graded and corrected paper was gently placed on top of a neat stack of papers.

"My goodness, we went through that whole stack a lot quicker than I thought...I am all caught up!" said a grateful and relieved Cheerilee.

"Glad I was so much of a help."

"We should celebrate!" Cheerilee ran to the fridge and pulled out some apple cider.

"Uh...I don't know..." nervously said the unicorn.

"It's rare for me to be fully caught up...so this is a perfect occasion to celebrate." explained the mare.

"Well...if you insist." Twilight levitated a mug in front of Cheerilee so she can pour some in it.

"To great friends!" toasted Cheerilee.

"To great friends!" Twilight's mug tapped Cheerilee's and they both drank their cider.

"So you see Thunder...I don't think this is working out, but I really do want to fix this and make it work...I've had my heart broken three times in my life already and I don't want it to happen a fourth time...and you are not listening are you?"

Thunderlane was too busy playing his video game to listen. "Yes...I'm listening..." eyes glued to the screen.

Fluttershy just couldn't take it anymore. She got off the couch and stood in front of the screen. She lifted her tail and started to shake her rump at the stallion.

Thunderlane instead tried to look around her. "Shy...can you please get your rump out of the way...I need to defeat this boss!" he exclaimed.

Fluttershy angrily snorted, tried of putting up with this. She went behind the screen and unplugged it with her teeth.

"NO!!!!" Thunderlane yelled. "I was so damn close!! WHY!?" he screamed to the ceiling.

"No more video games! No more!" she ordered. "I'm tired of you not paying attention to me or showing me love!" she was angry, but tears started to form in her eyes.

The stallion was in shock. "But I do show you love-"

"But not the kind I want!"

Tears started flow down her cheeks.

"I want you to tell me I'm beautiful, to pay attention to me, to tell me you love me, to hold doors and chairs for me, I just want you to love me and be chivalrous for me." she cried. "I always dreamed of being that ideal housewife, cooking breakfast for you, kissing you goodbye as you leave for work...please don't be the fourth to rip that dream away from me!" Fluttershy at this point was sobbing.

Thunderlane was stunned. "Was I really doing a horrible job?"

The mare just nodded, not saying a word.

Thunderlane got off the couch, walked up to Fluttershy and hugged her tight. "I'm so sorry...please forgive me" he lets her cry on his shoulder. "Is there anything I could do to show I love and care for you?"

Fluttershy broke the hug and wiped her tears away. "Well...a date would be nice...a romantic fancy one preferably."

"That sounds like a great idea." he smiled. "And I promise that I will cut back on the video games and pay more attention to you."

"That's all I ask." she said, grateful that she finally got through with him.

They both resumed their hug.

Hey Twi~want to play a game? said a very drunk Cheerilee

Sure~ giggled Twilight, also drunk.

The rest of their night was a blur

It was morning, and Mac walked towards the door. "Ah'll be buckin' apples in the far field!" he yelled to the house.

"Ah'll tell AJ when she gets back from town!" yelled Granny back.

Mac picked up his yoke and puts it on. He opened the front door, but suddenly stopped dead in his tracks. "Huh?"

In front of him stood Maude. "Hello."

"Uh...what brings ya here?" Mac was not expecting to see her.

"Just wanted to tell you that Pinkie will be busy all day and that she wants me to keep you company while she's gone." explained Maude in a deadpan manner.

"Well...because it is yer sister...ah reckon' ya can keep me company." answered Mac.

"Great...so...what are we doing today?" Maude asked.

"We'll be buckin' the apples in the far field." explained Mac as he started to make his way to the field. Maude followed closed behind.

They remained silent the entire walk there. They soon arrived to where they needed to work.

"Ever apple bucked before?" asked the stallion.

"Can't be that different from pulverizing rocks." stated the mare as she walked to an apple tree, placed baskets around and got into position. She raised her right back leg.

"Ah suggest ya do both legs if ya want all the apples to-" the stallion was interrupted when Maude kicked the tree hard and every single apple in the tree rained down on the baskets below. Maude made a tiny smug smirk, but otherwise her face remained emotionless.

Mac was completely surprised. "Impressive...ya have a lot more strength than ah thought."

"Years working with rocks can strengthen you." stated the mare as she walked up Mac. "The same with working on a farm and plowing." she suddenly tapped her hoof along Mac's side. Mac's eyes went wide. "You are as strong as a rock."

"Uh...thank ya." Mac didn't know what to say, he did not expect to be flattered at all.

"Question is...can you be as hard as a rock?" she quickly stopped touching Mac and walked to another tree. "Hmmm..." she examined it before turning to face Mac. "Are you going to help me, or are you just going to let me do all the work...I don't mind either way."

"Oh...right...let me do that tree over there." he walked to another apple tree.

Maude suddenly undid her belt and stripped down. Mac saw that and blushed. "Uh...what are ya doing?"

"These clothes will impend on my movements and potentially overheat me from all the bucking that will be required to clear this field." explained Maude. She immediately bucked another tree and all the apples fell. "That's better."

Mac just stood there speechless. "Ah hope this day doesn't turn bad...don't want another one" he nervously thought to himself.

Happy Bunny Day

Score Five

"Ugh...my aching head." groaned Twilight as she awoke with a pounding headache. She opened her to see a ceiling that was unfamiliar to her. She was definitely not in her home. "How long as I out?" she asked herself.

She quickly felt something heavy on her chest. She looked down only to get an eyeful of purple rump. "What the?" she looked to see that the rump belonged to Cheerilee, who happened to be asleep on top of her.

Twilight used her magic to gently levitate Cheerilee off of her, but the use of the levitation spell made her splitting headache even worse. She quickly lost her concentration and the mare was quickly dropped to the floor. "OW!" exclaimed the other mare as the drop jolted her awake.

"Ugh...sorry about that." apologized Twilight as she did her best to get back on her four legs. She looked around to see the living room littered with mugs and bottles. "How much did we drink last night Cheerilee?"

"Enough for us to get these terrible hangovers...no wonder Berry Punch is always cranky in the mornings..." Cheerilee also got back up and slowly made her way to the bathroom to get something to stop the pounding in her head. "I don't remember a thing..."

"Well...the last thing I remember was that either me or you proposed that we should play a game. I don't remember what...most likely a drinking game." explained Twilight as she tried to put the pieces together on what happened.

"There's only one drinking game I know...and it involves shot glasses, and I don't see any shot glasses, just empty glass bottles."

Twilight was thinking as long and hard as her headache would allow. But it slowly came back to her.

"What game are we playing?" slurred Twilight.

"Spin the bottle." answered Cheerilee as she dumped all the cider in a glass bottle and placed it on the floor.

Twilight was too drunk to care. "Hehe...okay..."

Cheerilee spun the bottle.

Twilight eyes went wide at the realization. "Cheerilee...what other games do you like to play?" she asked.

"Poker, Uno, Oligarchy-"

"Spin the bottle..."

Cheerilee was surprised by that answer. "Why yes...that's one of my favorite party games...why do you ask?"

"Because I think that was one of the things we played last night." she admitted with shock and horror.

It started to come back for Cheerilee as well, as images and memories of her making-out with the unicorn flooded her mind.

"Ready for this Cheerilee?" drunkenly asked Twilight.

"Of course...I never experienced this position before."

"Okay, just holler when the burning sensation becomes too much for you." giggled the unicorn as her horn glowed.

Both Twilight and Cheerilee looked at each other wide eyed, they knew exactly what the other was thinking.

"Twilight...did we?"

"All evidence points to that we did." she grimly answered.

It quickly turned awkward for the two of them.

Maude and Big Mac were just about done with the task of bucking the apple trees in the far field, there was just one last tree left.

"Last one." dryly stated Maude as she walked up to the tree, she sashayed her hips slightly as she went up to it. She looked around the tree as she looked for the perfect place to kick it. In the corner of her eye, she noticed Mac staring at her. "He has a lot of will power, I can tell you that, but stallions are like rocks...they will eventually crack. I hope Pinkie knows what she is doing."

Mac tried his best to ignore the flirting, he tried to keep focus on the task at hoof. But his eyes absent-mindlessly wandered down to her flank.

Maude definitely noticed. "So," began the mare with a slight and small smirk. "you going to just stand there and enjoy the view I'm giving you, or are you going to help me by placing the baskets around the tree?"

Mac quickly snapped out of it. "Uh...eeyup." he immediately placed the baskets around the tree, to catch the falling apples.

Maude got into position. She lifted up her back right leg, and kicked the tree with it hard. As usual, every single apple fell out of the tree.

"That was good...we're done for today." complimented the crimson stallion.

"Glad I was able to help. You didn't too bad yourself." her eyes ran up and down the stallions body. "Say...how far have you and my sister went?"

"Huh?" he did not know what she was asking.

"I said...how far have you taken your relationship with my sister? First, second, third-"

"Ah think that's too personal of a question Miss Maude." interrupted the stallion, embarrassed by such a probing question.

"Not to my sister...she told me that she gave you 'mouth present' for your birthday...and then returned the favor on her birthday." answered Maude.

Mac sweated nervously. "How?"

"Mac...me and Pinkie are sisters...and as sisters...we share everything." Maude placed extra emphasis on the last word.

"Uh...well...it was nice of ya helpin' me and all...but ah think ah can handle the rest of the chores from here Miss Maude." nervously explained Mac, this started to feel uncomfortable for him.

"Well, I am glad I could help. This whole thing was...interesting." stated Maude as she walked to a nearby cart, grabbed her clothes and put them on.

She went up to Mac and whispered into his ear. "By the way...when I mean everything...I mean everything..that includes you."

Mac's eyes went wide in shock and his face blushed. "Uh..."

"I'll tell Pinkie you said 'howdy', see you around." and with that, Maude trotted away out of the farm.

The stallion was frozen in shock. "It's all in mah mind...it's all in mah mind...it's all in mah mind..."

At the library, Spike lounged around in the library, as he ate his stash of gems. He soon heard the front door open, to see Twilight Sparkle has returned home. "Oh...you're back...where were you last night?" curiously asked the dragon.

"Uh...I spent the night a friends house." nervously answered Twilight. She could now remember everything that happened last night.

"Oh...and how did it go with Cheerilee?"

"It went really well...yeah...learned a lot about ourselves and each other...yeah..." Twilight quickly trotted up the stairs to avoid the subject.

Spike looked on suspiciously, but quickly dismissed it so he could return back to eating his gems. "Mares...always acting strange sometimes." he said as he took another bite of a gem.

Big Mac happily walked to his room after a long day of chores, he didn't care if he was dirty or sweaty, he just wanted to lie on his bed and get in as much sleep as possible for another early day tomorrow.

He opened the door and turned on the lights only to be met by the most unexpected sight; on his bed, was Pinkie and Maude lounging like models on it with sultry looks. "Oh hey Mackie...just thought we'd come by to help you relax from such a long hard day." sensually said the pink mare.

"But...what's Maude doin' here?" Mac was confused and scared.

"To double the fun silly." giggled Pinkie.

Before Mac knew it, he was pulled to the bed by the two mares and landed on his back. "Just relax Mac...you're already stressed out as it." continued Pinkie as Maude removed Mac's trademark yoke. Pinkie turned to her sister. "You can go first sis."

"With pleasure." responded Maude with no emotion apart from a slight sultry tone. The gray pony pulled up her dress and got on top. "Let's see how you handle." she proceeded to line herself up-

"NO!!!!!" screamed as he fell out of his bed covered in cold sweat. He landed on the floor, along with his bed sheets, hard. "OOF"

Once the stallion got his bearings straight, he noticed that he was in his room, alone, it was all just a disturbing dream. "Hold it together Mac!" he said to himself, shaking and worried. He was too afraid to fall back asleep.

It was morning, and Granny Smith was in the laundry room for the weekly cleaning. Granny got the washer ready as Apple Bloom walked in with her bed sheets with a look of shame.

"Did ya have a scary dream Apple Bloom?" asked Granny.

The filly just nodded in shame.

"Throw it in the pile." the old mare directed.

The filly did as told and walked out of the room. Applejack walked in next. "Just the hat this week Granny...be mighty careful when washing it." as she said that, she placed her stetson on top of the dryer.

"Ah know, ah know." Granny rolled her eyes, Applejack and her hat.

After Applejack walked out, it was Mac's turn to walk in, he carried his bed sheets in shame.

"Did ya have a scary dream Mac?" asked Granny.

Mac just looked at the old mare with shame, ears down. Granny knew what that meant.

"Ya had a dirty dream?"

Mac shamefully nodded.

"Ah thought ya outgrew that after high school." Granny sighed. "But oh well...in the pile."

Mac quietly did as told and walked out.

"This requires something stronger." said the old mare to herself as she grabbed the most potent detergent she had.

Fluttershy was under a tree by a clearing, sobbing. She tried to go about her day as best she could, but everything from last night flooded her mind.

"Why can't I find love?! Why can't I find a perfect stallion?" she sobbed to the animals that gathered around her. "You know how hard it is to find one?"

The animals all shook their heads.

"Really hard! It's not like a perfect stallion will just walk up to you and ask 'what's wrong?'"

"Uh miss are you okay? What's wrong?" said a new voice. All the animals quickly scatter, leaving Fluttershy alone.

"Huh?" Fluttershy looked around to see a large, muscular, white pegasus, trotting up to her.

"Are you okay miss? You look like you gotten hurt?" the stallion asked with concern, he got a good look at the pegasus mare. "Fluttershy?"

Fluttershy quickly realized who the stallion was. "Bulk?"

"YEAH! That's my name." he exclaimed, it was nice when a pony remembers your name.

"What are you doing here?" asked the yellow pegasus. "Of all places?"

"I go here every morning to do my after gallop stretches." explained the large white stallion. "You looked like you were crying."

"Well...uh...I kind of was..." shamefully admitted the mare.

"What happened?" he asked with concerned.

"It's about my now EX-coltfriend." she really did not want to talk about, but anything to get Bulk to leave her alone so she could go back to crying.

"Was he abusive to you in any way?"

Fluttershy did not expect that question. "Oh...no...that's not it...I broke up with him because he didn't but any effort into the relationship, no attention, no compliments, no chivalry-"

"Really? That is a horrible, horrible, shame that he did that." he said trying his best to comfort the mare. "Do you want me to go so I can beat him up?"

"Uh...no...that won't be necessary...but thanks for offering."

"You sure? Because nothing boils my blood more than seeing a mare hurt and crying."

"I am sure...but I really have to go now Bulk...it was nice meeting you again." she really wanted to be alone, but she started to feel better and at ease around him.

"Well...it was nice meet you again Fluttershy...are you sure you don't need any help?" he was genuinely concerned for her.

"No...uh...I mean..." Shy was nervous. "Who is this stallion and why is he being so nice to me?"

"Can I at least walk with you home so I can keep you company?" Bulk offered.

"Well...you see...uh..." She never felt so cared for before, no stallion was ever that attentive to her feelings before. "...um...sure...if you want to...I probably won't be much in terms of company-"

"That's okay, I just think you need someone to talk of keep you company so you won't go through it alone."

"Uh...thank you...that's very kind of you."

"No problem." Bulk stepped out of the way. "Lead the way." he motioned. Fluttershy has never felt this special in a long time, she kind of loved the way Bulk treated her, with care and attention. "Why can't Thunderlane be more chivalrous and caring like Bulk?"

Fluttershy lead the way to her cottage. Bulk walked next to her to keep her company.

Cheerilee spent her entire morning in front of the mirror as she looked at her reflection in deep contemplation.

"So...am I a fillyfooler now? Bi? Or was that a freak one time deal?" she asked herself, she couldn't stop thinking about this, it was driving her mad. "Maybe I should get some expert advice about this."

The purple pony proceeded to think hard about a mare who would know first-hoof about this. But who?

Rarity happily walked towards Fluttershy's cottage. She wanted to ask her how her date with Thunderlane went. As the cottage came in view, the unicorn saw a strange sight.

Bulk and Fluttershy stood in front of the cottage talking.

"Uh...it was nice of you walking with me...thank you for the company." smiled a grateful Fluttershy at Bulk.

"No problem, I was just doing the right thing." humbly state Bulk.

"Thanks anyways...maybe I'll see you again sometime?"

"We'll see...but I am off to continue my work out, hope you get better." Bulk waved goodbye and trotted away.

"I will! Thanks!" waved Shy back. She gave a loving sigh as she watched the white muscular pegasus walk away. "Now THAT'S a stallion." she sighed to herself.

"Fluttershy?"

The voice startled her out of her trance. "EEP!" she looked to see that it was just Rarity.

"You okay?"

"Oh...uh...yeah...I'm fine now, what are you doing here?" wondered the pegasus.

"Tell me...how was your date?" Rarity wanted to know every single detail.

"Oh...uh...it went really well..." Fluttershy did not want to worry her friend, so she lied.

"What did you do after dinner? Did you go to his place to 'spend the night'?"

"Ummm...uh...yeah...it was amazing." nervously lied the yellow mare.

"That's great! So..did you and him go all the way?"

"Umm....uh..." her face went red. "...we did."

"My goodness this is no fantastic! My Shy has finally grown up and became a mare...I'd never thought I'd see the day!" she gave Fluttershy a tight hug. "So on a scale of 1 to 5, 5 being the best, how did he rate?"

"Oh...he was a definite...five...yeah...five." The problem with her is that even though she can lie, she's not that great at it. "FIVE?! Really? Bad Fluttershy!"

"THAT good? He must be a very 'cunning linguist' in order to earn that rating...did he have you seeing stars afterwards?"

Fluttershy's face grew even redder, her wings went stiff and she didn't know how long she can keep the lie up before Rarity found out. "Oh why yes...a lot stars...couldn't move for a while afterwards...but I uh...have to go and feed my animals right now, if you don't mind..."

"I understand darling, we'll talk more about this and in more detail on our spa date this afternoon, glad you had so much fun and to hear he was actually good."

"The spa date is today?! I'm doomed!". Shy said nothing as she nervously walked inside, waved goodbye and closed the door.

Rarity sighed. "Why must Fluttershy lie to me?" she said to herself. "Oh well, I'll just probe her more until she cracks." Rarity walked back home.

Thunderlane desperately knocked on the front door to Dash's cloud home.

The door opened to see an annoyed Dash. "You came at a very bad time Thunder!" she snapped. "What do you want?"

"Have you seen Shy anywhere?" the black pegasus nervously asked.

"Not in a long while, why do you ask?" Dash was suspicious.

"I haven't seen her all day, since last night, I really wanted to apologize for her, for being a horrible coltfriend to her." he felt ashamed and bad.

"Look, I don't have the time to deal with this, so unless you want to talk to me about this, I suggest you join me and Joy and make it threesome." she stated.

"Joy? Threesome?"

"AUGHH!!!" moaned a stallion inside, in pain.

"Who-?"

"Maybe I denied him long enough," she thought out-loud. "Anyways, unless you want to join, we're done talking about this, good-bye!" Dash slammed the door on Thunderlane's face.

"That was...strange..." said the pegasus stallion to himself.

"So how did you find out you were a filly fooler?" asked Cheerilee as she drank her tea with Octavia.

"It's not something you find out Cheerilee...it's something you know. Stallions were just not attractive to me as mares, plus the fact that you had more options in terms of partners doesn't hurt either." explained the gray pony mare as she calmly sipped her tea. "Why do you ask?"

"Well...a few nights ago I got drunk and had sex with another mare, Twilight Sparkle." she answered. Octavia quickly spat out her tea.

"TWILIGHT SPARKLE?!"

"Uh...yeah..." The purple pony had no idea what was going on.

"Me and her were marefriends for two years a long time ago." Octavia exclaimed as she broke her signature composure.

"Marefriends?"

"She broke it off claiming that it was just a 'phase', but I always thought that was an excuse to keep her family from getting suspicious."

"Wait...you're saying...?"

"That Twilight Sparkle has been in denial and in the closet for a very long time. She refused to come out and forced our relationship to be secret, we kept up the charade of just being friends for TWO years!"

"What should I do?"

"Nothing! You should do nothing! From what I could guess, Twilight has been keeping her true self hidden and that drunken night caused it to slip out. She's in the closet and plans on staying in there until the day she dies."

"Are you sure she's a filly fooler? Maybe she's bi-"

"She's only bi or straight when it is convenient for those around her." interrupted Octavia. "Never once have I seen her have geniune feelings for a stallion. All of her relationships with them were shams to draw suspicion away from us, although to be fair, I had a few sham relationships in my life as well. But at least I eventually embraced who I was and now I am at peace with myself at last."

Cheerilee did not say a word as she took in everything she heard.

Mac walked into the barn to start the next part of today's chores; organize the barn. He looked at the messy piles of hay bails, tools on the floor and other random objects stored inside, he had much work to do.

As the stallion walked inside, the barn door suddenly closed and locked behind him. "Huh?"

"Hello there Mac." suddenly, Maude stepped in from the shadows.

"What are ya doin' here? What's goin' on?" Mac was a bit scared.

"I am here to do you Mac, and what's going on is that I am about to seduce you." explained the gray emotionless pony as she slowly walked up to him. "I really want to see how you handle under...extreme...conditions." eyes went up and down his body.

The red stallion was really scared for his life.

Score Nine

It all happened so suddenly, one minute he back himself into a corner, the next, he is making-out with his marefriend's sister. At least Maude's tongue wasn't so large compared to Pinkie's.

Maude broke the kiss and removed Mac's yoke. "Let's take this up another level." she immediately started to nibble Mac's neck.

"Oh no! Not the neck...that's my weak spot..." he though as he felt his body turn into jelly from the nibbling. He gave a grunt as he felt something rise.

"Impressive...now we can take this all the way." commented Maude as she pushed Mac to the ground, on his back. Mac did have to admit though, she was impressively strong. Maude proceeded to remove her belt and lift up her dress. "This will indeed make me feel fulfilled..." she immediately got on top and lined herself up.

But before she got down, she looked at Mac to see a look of shame and terror on his face. That look just broke her heart. What the buck am I doing? she thought.

"I'm sorry Mac...but I can't do this...it's not right..." said the mare with a hint of disappointment in her voice. She quickly got off and looked away from him to hide her shame.

"Maude?" the stallion was confused. "What's goin' on?"

The mare just sighed. "Pinkie put me up to this, she wanted me to flirt and seduce you."

"PINKIE?! My marefriend?! Why?" Mac was in shock.

"To guilt you into being more intimate with her! And yes, it is a stupid and horrible idea, but I couldn't just say 'no' to her." she was ashamed at what she did.

"Why couldn't she just talk this out with me? Why must she use you?"

"That's my sister for you..." Maude turned around to reveal tears flowing down her cheeks. "I greatly apologize for my behavior...I-I must go, can't let anyone see me like this..." she turned to leave.

Mac was dumbfounded...why would Pinkie do all of this? Use her sister like that? All because he refused to go all the way with her. "Uh...is there anythin' ah can do to help-"

"NO!" snapped Maude as she turned around to face the stallion, tears flowing down her cheeks. "THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO FOR ME!"

Awkward silence fell between the two of them, before Maude sprinted out of the barn.

Mac did not know what to do and still was having trouble taking the whole thing in.

"I'm coming." exclaimed Bulk as he walked to his front door while lifting a dumbbell in his hoof. He opened the door to reveal Fluttershy. "Shy? What are you doing here?"

"Oh...uh...I-I just came here to thank you once again for making me feel better and I thought maybe I...I mean...we, can have some dinner together sometime? If you want...it's okay if you don't...I completely under-"

"I would love too." interrupted Bulk as he smiled the mare.

"You would?!" she was not expecting a 'yes'.

"Of course I would love too, you seem like a nice mare to be around, so why not?"

"DADDY! WE'RE MY HELMET!" yelled a filly from inside. Bulk turned around.

"It's on the coffee table where you left it last time!"

"OH! NEVER MIND!" yelled the filly back. Soon, the filly ran out the door. "Anyways, me and my friends will be off crusading...love you daddy." the filly was, to Fluttershy's shock, Scootaloo.

Scootaloo nuzzled up to her father. "Love you too...now don't hurt yourself and be back before sunset." he instructed.

"Of course. See ya." Scootaloo gets on her scooter, "Hey Shy!" she waved as she scooted away and into town.

"Oh...I didn't know you were a father...much less Scoot's..." Fluttershy didn't expect it. "You must be married then..."

"Formally married."

"Huh?" Shy was confused by what he meant.

"Her mother died during childbirth...I have been raising her by myself since...she has a high resemblance to her." Bulk admitted, although it still pained him to talk about it.

"Oh...I'm so sorry to hear that." she now felt bad.

"It's okay, everyday I am thankful that I have a beautiful daughter to take care of, she's one of the few reasons I get up in the morning...so...you said something about dinner?" changing the subject.

"Oh right...how does tomorrow night sound?" asked the yellow pegasus.

"Tomorrow night sounds perfect...uh...you won't mind if I come as is...I don't usually do fancy."

"That's fine by me...I'll pick you up tomorrow at sunset?"

"How about I pick YOU up at sunset tomorrow." he corrected.

"Oh...that's nice too." Shy blushed. "Uh...I have to go on my spa date...but I'll see you tomorrow night."

"Can't wait" he smiled.

Shy blushed even more. "Uh...bye..." waved him off and quickly flew off into town.

Bulk waved her off. "Such a nice mare...my wife would approve." he smiled. For the first time in such a long time, he was going on a date.

Little did Fluttershy or Bulk knew, but Thunderlane spied on them from a nearby bush. "That two-timing bitch!" he growled to himself, blood boiling.

The sky grew dark and gray, a storm was coming.

Cheerilee walked to the library and knocked on the door. To her surprise, Twilight answered. "Cheerilee?"

"Twilight."

"What are you doing here?" asked the unicorn.

"We need to talk."

Big Mac was at Sugercube corner, he walked through the front door.

Pinkie heard the main entrance bell ring from the kitchen. She peeked from around the corner to see Mac there. "Mackie! This is perfect! He's probably here to quell his guilty conscience by having 'super fun time' with me! Thank goodness I limbered myself up this morning." she was so excited from the prospect. She took a deep breath so she wouldn't look TOO eager and walked out of the kitchen. "Hey Mackie! What brings you here?"

"We need to talk."

Fluttershy happily trotted into town. She was in heaven, she finally found a stallion that was not only perfect, but treats her nice as well. Strong body, soft heart; her favorite kind of stallion.

"SHY!" yelled a voice. This snapped the mare for the trance.

"Huh?" she turned around to see an angry Thunderlane standing behind her.

"We need to talk!"

Score Ten

"HOW COULD YOU CHEAT ON ME LIKE THAT?!" snarled an angry Thunderlane as he pinned Fluttershy up against a tree.

"Please...Thunder...you're scaring me..." Fluttershy avoided eye-contact as much as she could, she was afraid of what will happen next.

"HOW COULD YOU?!" he angrily yelled.

"Please! I'm sorry!" she started to cry, she just wanted Thunderlane to leave her alone.

The pegasus stallion just smacked her in the face with his forehoof. "You better be sorry! Some marefriend you are!" his deep seeded jealously and fear caused him to lash out.

Fluttershy sobbed uncontrollably from the hitting and yelling. "Please understand Thunder...you're a great colt...but I just want us to be fri-" another smack from the stallion interrupted her.

"YOU CHEATED ON ME!" angrily spat the stallion. "WHAT DO YOU SEE IN THAT MUSCULAR FREAK?!"

"He treats me with more respect than you can ever imagine!" spat Fluttershy back, she was reaching her emotional breaking point. A punch hit her face hard, she fell to the ground. Fluttershy loudly sobbed. "I'm sorry...I'm sorry...just stop..."

"You WILL come back to me and you WILL do whatever I want, whenever I want!" he snarled, he picked the mare up so she can see his eyes. "You got that?"

Fluttershy said nothing but spit blood at Thunderlane's face. "DAMN IT!" he exclaimed as he reflexively let the mare go and whipped his face.

The yellow pegasus took the opportunity to sprint off and escape. But is stopped in her tracks when she felt something pull on her tail. Shy turned her head to see Thunderlane was biting her tail, growling. "SOME ONE HELP!"

"NO ONE IS GOING TO HELP YOU, YOU SLUT!" snarled Thunderlane through his teeth, he continued to pull on her tail.

Fluttershy spread her wings and flew off the ground, but she was quickly stopped in her tracks by the stallions continued hold on her tail. "LET! ME! GO!" the mare screamed with anger as she closed her eyes to concentrate on her escape.

She suddenly heard a punch and felt her tail extension rip off, she was free. The mare opened her eyes and looked down to see Bulk Biceps who stood over an unconscious Thunderlane. "Bulk?" she gently landed back on the ground.

"You okay Shy?" he asked with concern. The muscular pegasus took a good look at the mare. Her left eye was swollen shut and black, bruises on her face and a cut lip.

"I-I-I'm fine now...thanks..." the mare was eternally grateful of Bulk for saving her. She looked at the unconscious Thunderlane, her tail extension in his mouth. Shy looked at her tail see it that it was back to its true length, but frayed at the end. She looked back at Bulk but was in awe.

Bulk was a true stallion, the type of stallion she always dreamed of being with. Strong enough to protect her, but with a big and kind heart to love her. He was...perfect.

"Come on, let me get some ice on that." pointed out Bulk as he escorted Fluttershy to his home.

"Thank you so much for saving me back there...I greatly appreciate it...thank you." said the mare.

"No problem...anything to help a fellow pony-" was quickly interrupted a peck in the cheek from the yellow mare.

"Oh...sorry...I was just-"

"I understand, and glad you think so." Bulk smiled. They both stopped in their tracks and looked into each other's eyes.

"What?!" exclaimed Twilight. "What makes you imply such a thing about me?!"

"Twilight! I am really worried about you...you need to stop hiding it." explained Cheerilee. "You like mares, so what."

"I DO NOT! I LIKE STALLIONS!" defended Twilight, who was clearly in denial.

"That's not what Octavia told me."

The unicorn's eyes went wide. "Y-You...talked...to Octavia?" she was stunned.

"I did...she still feels a little hurt that you went through all those lengths to cover-up your relationship with her." stated the teacher.

Twilight felt guilty and ashamed. "I was just worried about what my family, my friends or Celestia would think...my brother and Cadance were the only ones that know about my true self."

"It's not good to keep it bottled up inside, it will eat you alive." explained Cheerilee as she placed a hoof on Twilight's shoulder.

The unicorn just wrapped Cheerilee in a hug and cried into her shoulder. "I am a horrible mare! I used and lied to so many ponies because I was in denial...I lost Octavia because of that...500 days of love, all made worthless because I wouldn't accept these feelings."

"The first step is admitting that you have a problem...now we can begin the healing and by the end of it, you will fully embrace who you really are." comforted Cheerilee.

"Why are you really helping me?" asked Twilight as she looked into the mare's eyes.

"Because I am starting to have feelings for you Twi." answered Cheerille with sincerity.

"Really?"

"Really." she answered as she gently kissed Twilight on the lips. For the first time ever, Twilight felt free, no longer weighed down by the baggage she had been carrying. For once she finally started to accept who she really was, but she knew it was a long road ahead.

"HOW COULD YA!" exclaimed Big Mac to his marefriend Pinkie. "How could ya use yer sister like that?!"

"Because I thought it would make you guilty and force you to become intimate with me to ease it." explained Pinkie who was hurt from the yelling Mac was giving her.

"That's a horrible and immature idea even by yer standards Pinkie!"

"I really love you Mac!" explained the pink mare. "All I wanted was to finally show you how much you mean to me."

"We could've talked this out!"

"And you probably would still say no!"

"BECAUSE AH DIDN'T WANT YA TO THINK THAT AH WAS USIN' YA JUST FOR SEX!" yelled Mac.

Awkward silence fell between them. "W-what?"

Mac took a deep breath. "Last thing ah wanted ya to think, was to think that ah was usin' ya as a sex toy...ah had too many mares think that already about me...and ah don't want ya to be one of them."

Pinkie felt awful. She should have talked this out with him instead of taking advantage of her sisters crush on Mac.

"The night after ya confessed yer feelin's for me...ah made a vow to myself that ah will wait until ah know this would last before ah even consider goin' that far with ya." he admitted.

Little did both Mac and Pinkie knew, but Maude was listening in from upstairs.

"I-I just wanted you to show me how much you cared...but I guess not being intimate with me really does mean you care."

"And ah'm sorry...but that stunt made me loose all trust in ya." Mac said with reluctance.

"Huh?"

"Ya heard me...ah lost all trust in ya..ah'm sorry...but it's over." Mac sadly turned around to leave.

"MAC! PLEASE NO! I'M SORRY!" yelled Pinkie.

"Too late for that." and with that, Mac walked out the door and left.

Pinkie fell to the floor, her mane was flat and she bawled her eyes out. "I'm sorry! I'm so sorry...please come back!"

Maude saw the whole thing and felt bad.

Mac walked back to the farm alone. For the first time in a year, he was single again...and he had no idea what to do now.

Score Eleven

Several days passed and things did not get any better. Pinkie had been locked up in her room since Mac broke-up with her, only leaving to use the bathroom.

Maude was deeply concerned for her sister, she did everything she could to cheer her up. "Hey Pinkie! I bought you the new food processor you wanted, it has the prerequisite torque needed to make the rock candy cakes you always wanted to make."

Pinkie refused to come up from under the covers.

"I can help you make them while you pretend that we're doing a cooking show complete with studio audience like you would do sometimes." the gray mare offered.

Still no answer.

"I will gladly serve as marriage counselor to help the Cakes if you want."

No movement or sound from under the covers.

"How about a private party for me and your friends?" Maude offered. "I could hire a sexy stallion dancer if you want, I have the connec-"

"I WANT MACKIE BACK!!!" yelled Pinkie from the under covers.

The gray mare just sighed. "Yes, I know you miss him badly, but I doubt he would be willing to resume a relationship with you after the stunt you pulled with me."

"I said I was sorry!" Pinkie refused to come out.

"It is going to take a lot more than sorry to get him back, I know you're devastated and all, but you need to learn to move on and find another stallion, preferably one with your drive and gets off to the same stuff you do."

"There's no other stallion like him Maude! No other stallion!"

"What about that Cheese Sandwich colt you like to talk about so much?"

"Married."

"He's married? Really?" Maude could not believe it.

"Three years and with a new born filly."

"Okay...then how about that blue stallion with the musical note cutie mark...uh...Noteworthy was it?"

"It's because of our week together that he avoids me and all sweets at all costs."

"Pokey Pierce?"

"He was fun while it lasted...be he's too...vanilla...for me."

"Braeburn?"

"Ugh...I'll never be limber enough for him...he's HUGE."

"Well...I'm out of stallions..." sighed Maude, disappointed that she can't help her sister.

Pinkie just gave a defeated groan.

Mac was out in the farm fields of the farm. He had been working much more than usual, so he could keep his mind off of the break-up. He knew it was for the best, but could not help but feel guilty over it.

"Hey Mac!" yelled a voice. Mac saw, to his surprise, Fluttershy fly in and land in front of him.

"Fluttershy?"

"Oh, I just came here to ask where do you usually put the weed killer?" asked the yellow pegasus. "They're really springing up around my cottage."

"Ah'll show ya to the garden shed." said Mac with some hurt in his voice, he also looked depressed.

"What's wrong Mac?" asked Fluttershy concerned. "Still upset over the break-up?"

Mac took a deep breath and sighed "Eeyup."

Fluttershy flew up and gave Mac a hug. "I know break-ups are hard, but I am sure you'll find someone, just like me."

"Ah know, ah heard about ya and Bulk...congratulations."

"Thanks, I did just what I promised you I will do...find a stallion who would treat me like the mare I want to be...those words you said to me that night still floats around in my mind."

"Ah'm just happy yer happy." responded Mac as a small smile formed on his face.

"Look, I know what Pinkie did was questionable...but she's taking the break-up extremely hard...I suggest you go and talk to her so you two can finally have some closure." requested the mare as she broke the hug.

"Ah should probably do that." sighed Mac.

"But to tell you the truth," started Fluttershy. "I sometimes wonder what things would be like if we DID ended up together, although I knew you didn't want that."

"Because ah don't ever want to hurt ya...especially with my habits and past...ah know ya deserve somepony better than just some town cart where everyone gets a ride...but ah guess it runs through my blood."

"Oh Mac, you will not end up becoming a young Granny Smith, I can assure you that, you just need to find someone to love, that's all." assured Fluttershy.

"Thanks, but ah guess that ship has sailed between ya and me?"

"It may have, but I would really want us to be good friends, that will mean a lot to me." she smiled.

"Friends is it...now come on, let me show ya to the garden shed so ya can get the weed killer." Mac felt much better about himself after the talk, but all he needs to do now is talk with Pinkie.

"So you see Spike," Twilight took a deep breath. "I am a lesbian, a fillyfooler, and I am in love with Cheerilee and finally coming into terms at the kind of pony I am, and I thought you should be the first to know."

Spike kept a serious face. "Well...about time you FINALLY admitted it." he rolled his eyes.

"Huh?"

"Twi, I have been with you my entire life...I knew you were a fillyfooler, especially after I heard you and Octavia go at it."

"WHAT?! I thought you were asleep!" Twilight was in shock.

"It's kind of hard to stay asleep considering that you can get so loud that it drowns out Octavia."

Twilight's face turned into a deep shade of red from the embarrassment.

"But I am proud of you for finally admitting and accepting it, congratulations Twi." Spike gave the unicorn a loving hug. Twilight returned the hug.

"Oh...and Cheerilee will be spending the night here tonight."

"I'll pack my things."

Maude felt useless to her sister, she gave up cheering her up and decided to just pack her bags and go back to her rock farm.

She just walked out the front door to Sugarcube corner when she ran into another pony, she fall back to the ground. "Ugh..."

"Maude?" said a deep male voice. Maude looked up to see that it was Big Mac.

"Oh...what do you want?" the gray mare asked as she got back up. She still felt ashamed at what she almost did to him.

"Ah just wanted to talk to yer sister." Mac answered. "How's she doin'?"

"Not so good...she refuses to leave her room..." she just sighed. "I feel like it was all my fault."

"Yer fault?!" exclaimed a confused Mac. "Ah thought it was mine?"

"Look Mac," began the mare. "Do I have feelings for you? Yes. Would I gladly share you with my sister? Yes, but only if you were willing. I went along with the worst plan Pinkie has ever came up with...and with Pinkie that is saying a lot." admitted Maude. She felt her stern face falter so she turned around from the stallion.

"Are ya sure there is nothin' ah can do to help?" asked a concerned Mac.

"No! There is nothing you can do! So please stop asking that question!" snapped the mare as a tear flowed down her cheek.

The stallion did not know what to say next.

"You know Mac...it is perfectly find for you to say 'no' to a mare...why do you always feel the need to do whatever one asks?"

"Because it is the polite thing to do."

"Tell me Mac...out of all the mares you have been with...how many did you rut just because they wanted you to and not because they truly romantically love you." asked the gray mare.

Mac was about to answer but once he thought about it, he realized that Maude actually had a point. He was so focused on making mares in need happy that he always forgot to weigh the risks and rewards of doing such a thing. He always failed to comprehend what it would do to him.

"I am surprised that you had not gotten anyone pregnant." stated Maude.

"Eeyup." agreed Mac with shame.

"Just go talk to my sister...she really needs for you to be with her again...and if she does ask you to rut her senseless...just please for all that is decent weigh your risks and rewards...don't just do it because she's asking or begging." pleaded Maude to the red stallion.

Mac said nothing but nod. Maude said nothing in return but to leave for the train station, there was nothing else she could do.

Mac walked upstairs and knocked on Pinkie's bedroom door.

"GO AWAY!" yelled Pinkie from inside.

"It's me...Big Mac..." answered the stallion.

"WHAT DO YOU WANT?!"

"To talk..."

"...the door is not locked..." admitted the mare from inside. Mac took that as his cue to open the door and walk inside. The bedroom was dark, all curtains were drawn shut. "What do you want to talk about?" asked the mare from under the covers.

"Ah just wanted to see how yer holdin' up is all." answered the stallion as he sat down next to the bed.

"Well...I'm doing fine...now go away." demanded Pinkie.

"Ah just want ya to be the old Pinkie Pie again, ah don't want this break-up to affect ya like this." said the stallion with guilt.

"Having friends is super duper great and all...but it's nothing if you don't have somepony to spill your guts and emotion for...I'm sorry I was such a horrible marefriend Mac." Pinkie slowly peaked her head from out of the covers.

"If ya really did wanted intimacy...ya just could've asked." stated the stallion. "Sure ah may say 'nnope' but it beats makin' yer sister seduce me so ah can be guilt-tripped into ruttin' ya."

The pink mare knew he was right, but she had no idea what to say.

Mac climbed up on her bed and wrapped a foreleg around her. "Thank ya for bein' my longest relationship so far...ah appreciated it." he smiled. "Ya taught me that ah can have a true relationship not based on sex."

Pinkie smiled from that thanks the stallion gave her. "Anything for you Mackie...anything for you..." snuggled up to him.

They both stared into each others eyes in awe, faces grew closer. "Mackie?" asked the mare.

"Eeyup?"

"If I asked you that I wanted us to be intimate right now but only out of love for each other instead of lust...what would you say?"

Mac smiled and thought about it. "Normally ah would say 'nnope'." he answered.

The mare's ears flopped down and her eyes went down in sadness.

"But since it is ya...it's a definate 'eeyup'."

Pinkie's entire face perked up and a big happy grin formed on her face. "Really?!"

Mac just nodded.

Pinkie immediately tackled Mac down on the bed, she kissed the stallion passionately and deeply. "WOO HOO!"

Hush now, quiet now, the sun is down you sleepy head
Hush now, quiet now it's time to go to bed.

Fluttershy sang her signature lullaby to Scootaloo, the pegasus filly went right to sleep during the second verse. Fluttershy gave a warm heartfelt smile as she tucked the filly in. The yellow mare turned to leave the room when she was Bulk leaned up against the door frame.

"You would make an amazing mother." was all the muscular stallion noted.

Fluttershy blushed. "Y-You really think so?"

"From the way you took care of Scoots, I really do." nodded Bulk as they both left the room and locked the door behind them.

"I really hope to be the perfect stay-at-home wife and mother someday, it feels great taking care of others like my animals...but I always dream of having foals of my own and raising a family."

"And I really hope to find a new mother for Scoots...she needs a female role-model, I know she has one in Rainbow Dash, but she needs a mother figure and I doubt Dash can ever be one any time soon."

Bulk walked Fluttershy to the front door. "So...see you tomorrow?" asked the stallion.

"I will always make time to visit you and your daughter." smiled the mare back.

"Good night Shy."

"Good night Bulk." strangely, both of them did not want to leave. They just stood by the front door staring at each other, their hearts pounded in their chests.

"So..." awkwardly began Fluttershy.

"Want to spend the night?" nervously blurted out the stallion. "Uh..." embarrassed.

"Uh...uh...yes." she nervously answered.

"What was that?" he did not quite caught that.

"Yes." she answered again slightly louder.

"So that was indeed a-"

"YES!" desperately exclaimed Fluttershy, she could not take it anymore, she really wanted to show the stallion how much he meant to her. She flew up and kissed Bulk deeply. The stallion was shocked at first, but went along with it.

Fluttershy quickly realized what she was doing and broke the kiss, her face blushed heavily. "S-Sorry..."

"T-Thats okay...to be honest...you're the first mare to kiss me like that in a long time." Bulk smiled.

"Is that a good or bad thing?"

"A very good thing." he gave the mare an honest smile and kissed her back, a more tender and loving kiss. The pink maned pegasus felt herself melt from the kiss, she felt her whole world grow brighter and the weight of the world fall from her shoulders.

I just found the perfect stallion for me! happily squealed Fluttershy in her head. YAY!

TO BE CONCLUDED...

Final Score

"So...you and Mac are finally back together?" asked Maude to her sister as she drank her tea.

They were both in the Sugarcube Corner kitchen enjoying each other's company. "I am so glad we are." beamed Pinkie Pie. "Last night was great."

"Huh, that good?"

Pinkie giggled. "So glad I limbered myself before hoof." she then looked at her sister with a smile. "I'm sorry I used you like that Maude."

"That's okay, no matter what stupid things you do to me, you will always be my sister, you can't choose family you know." Maude gave a small smile.

"Well, me and Mac have been talking, and we decided that you are free to join us during our fun times whenever you want." cheerfully explained the pink pony.

"Really?" the gray mare raised an eyebrow

"Really." her sister nodded.

"Hmmm..." she rubbed her hoof against her chin. "I'll think about it."

"Okie dokie loki!"

At Bulk's house, Fluttershy happily made breakfast, she felt like she was where she belonged after such an amazing night with the perfect stallion.

"Fluttershy?" said a young voice with disbelief. The yellow pegasus turned around to see a shocked Scootaloo at the entryway.

"Morning Scootaloo, just in time for breakfast." smiled Fluttershy.

"What are you doing here?" the orange filly sat down at the table.

"I decided to thank you both for a great time yesterday by cooking you a nice breakfast." she floated over to the table and served some eggs and toast to the filly. "Now eat up, don't want to be late for school."

"Smells good." she immediately dug in.

At the same time, Bulk limped in, a bit sore from last night. "It does smell good." agreed the muscular white pegasus.

"Oh hey Bulk." greeted the yellow mare as she flew over and gave him a hug.

"OW...watch the neck!" jumped Bulk, his neck still felt a bit tender along with many other parts of his body.

"Oh..sorry." she let him go and blushed.

Scootaloo finished her breakfast and grabbed her helmet and saddlebag. "Off to school daddy, see ya!"

"Just get back here before sunset." smiled the father as he waved to her goodbye.

"Don't worry, I will." assured the orange filly as she sprinted out the door to school.

Fluttershy served Bulk his breakfast. The stallion sat down on his seat and gave a relaxed sigh.

"Uh...you okay Bulk?" asked a concerned Fluttershy.

"I'm fine, just sore, that's all."

The mare blushed heavily. "I must have taken a lot out of you...sorry if I got too demanding at times."

"That's okay, last night was amazing regardless, thank you." smiled Bulk.

"No...thank you!" she gave the stallion a quick kiss. "For choosing me."

Bulk blushed. "No problem."

"So you see mom, dad, Cadance and Shining, I am a fillyfooler and I am currently dating Cheerilee, we are very in love and it doesn't matter what you think about it because for once I am truly happy." admitted Twilight to her parents.

Everyone in the room looked at each other before the turned to Twilight. "About time you finally admitted it." said her mother with relief.

"Huh?"

"The four of us pretty much knew you were a fillyfooler for a long time." added Shining.

"Wait..." Twilight was confused. "...was it really that obvious?"

All four of them nodded in agreement.

Cheerilee was at her house as she finished styling her mane to what it was twenty years ago. Just as she finished, she heard a knock at the door. "That must be her." she got everything ready and trotted over to the front entrance, she opened it to reveal Twilight Sparkle.

"Ready?" asked the unicorn.

"Of course I am, just let me put on my sweat bands and we'll be on our way."

"I can wait." said Twilight as she made her way inside.

Cheerilee smiled, she was so glad to have finally found a new special somepony, she just was not expecting it to be with another mare, but she quickly got used to the idea.

At Carousel Boutique, Thunderlane made his way inside to see that it was dark. "Uh...hello?" he did no receive an answer, he just made his deeper into the darkened boutique. "I'm here for my free suit fitting that I won in the mail?"

Suddenly, the lights turned on to reveal a leather vest wearing Rarity. "So glad you decided to show up Thunderlane...I'd never thought you would fall for such an obvious trap." she giggled, she used her magic to grab a riding crop.

"Uh...what's going on?" the stallion sweated nervously.

"Pay back for abusing a friend." Rarity gave an evil smirk as she levitated a riding bit and saddle. "Revenge is a dish best served with humiliation and leather."

Thunderlane quickly turned around to run away, but his legs were suddenly tied up by a white rag, it caused him to trip on the floor hard.

"Yee haw." Rarity smirked as she showed him her strap-on.

The stallions eyes went wide with fear. "Oh crud..."

THE END

Author's Note

So glad that things turned out well for the ones who deserve it.

Glad you liked the story folks.

Score Six

At Sugarcube corner, Pinkie happily poured the cake batter and rock candy into the food processor. "I hope these rock candy cake recipes are just as good as Maude describes them." she excitedly said to herself. She placed the lid on the processor and flipped it on full speed. It suddenly smoked, short circuited and died.

"Oopsie...I guess I need to buy a new one with a much higher torque. If not I'm sure Big Mac can make me one." she immediately dumped the processor and its contents into the garbage without a second thought.

"Uh...Pinkie?" said a dry emotionless voice. Pinkie knew who that was. "Maude is back!" she ran out of the kitchen and into the front to see Maude back.

"Oh wow...you're back! How did your day with Mac go?" she asked, she placed her head on her forelegs and wagged her tail.

"He was a tough rock to crack...but I think I got through with him." reported Maude.

"Awesome! 'Operation: Flirt with Big Mac until he becomes intimate with me to quiet a guilty conscience' is running smoothly." she cheered.

"About that...first of all we need a much shorter name...second of all, is this really going to work?" asked the doubtful gray sister.

"Of course it is going to work Maude! I can feel it in my half-gypsy blood!"

"Quarter."

"What?" Pinkie was confused.

"We're actually a quarter gypsy, on our mother's side." Maude clarified.

"Really? Because I was certain that we were half."

"Do any of our parents look gypsy to you Pinkie?" she pointed out deadpan.

Pinkie did not say a single word. It all made sense now to her.

"Look," Maude changed the subject, "I'm attracted to him and all and I would be willing to share him if it was okay for both of you...but I don't think this is the right way to get him to be more intimate with you."

"Do you have any better ideas?"

Maude said nothing, just blankly started at her sister. "You're still a little naive when it comes this kind of stuff are you?"

"And by naive you mean...?"

The gray mare just sighed. "I think the best way to fix this is by proving to Mac that you're having sex not because you want sex...but because you love him and want to show how much he means to you."

"Hmmm...I never thought of that." thought Pinkie. "But I think we're already too committed to the other plan as it is...we can't give up on it now."

Maude sighed again. She didn't like the plan, but she was willing to continue it if it meant flirting with the handsome and attractive stallion. "So what now?"

"Well...the Cakes will be gone all weekend to attended their third honeymoon as a last ditch effort to salvage their marriage...what ever that means." she shrugged.

The gray mare was kind of surprised to know that Pinkie still had no idea that the Cake's marriage is falling apart around her, either that, or she does know but pretends not to. It's usually the latter with her.

"Anyways...I am off to shower to cleanse myself after a long day and to excise the mental image of your toned and sweaty coltfriend." she trotted upstairs.

"Okay! Have fun!" she waved her off.

"Light make-up...check."

"Mane brushed, shampooed and clear of any lost items and animal waste...check."

"Wings preened and feathers all nice and straight...check and check."

"Dress...check."

"Tail extension...double checked...okay, I am ready for my stallion tonight." said Fluttershy as she finished her self checklist to make herself presentable and beautiful for Thunderlane. Although she immediately checked her tail a third time to make sure the extension was placed properly and not loose.

"Okay Angel! Keep watch over the animals for me when I am gone...I probably won't come back until tomorrow morning if I am lucky." she said in awe of the night ahead for her and her coltfriend, she hoped her first time would be magical.

She literally floated out of the house and into town, much to Angel's annoyance.

Fluttershy arrived at the restaurant on time, she walked right in and was placed on her table. Now she will wait for her prince to come and be romantic.

"Complimentary wine ma'am?" asked the waiter with a wine bottle.

Fluttershy normally did not drink, only when all of her friends were with her. But since it is complimentary and she will be eating with coltfriend...she made an exception. "Sure."

The waiter poured her the drink.

Five wine glasses later...and Thunderlane STILL did not show up. She became cranky and tipsy at the no show.

"Another ma'am?"

"Ugh...just leave with two bottles...this might be a while." she said, she was upset that her coltfriend let her down again.

As she waited, she thought back to the three stallion she fell in love with before Thunderlane. There was Big Mac, he would've been so perfect for her, but apparently she was TOO perfect for him. The one before that was a pegasus named Rapid Fire, he was the top flier in flight school, but she never had the courage to asked him out of confess her feelings for him. Shy wondered how Rapid Fire is doing now.

"Sorry I'm late Shy!" exclaimed Thunderlane as he interrupted her thoughts.

"It's a about darn time." snarled the tipsy and ill-tempered mare.

"Mind if we have someone tag-along with us?" asked the stallion.

"What?! Who?!"

"My little brother Rumble...my parents are off on their date and I was forced to babysit him last minute, but I didn't want to miss our date so I thought...why not bring him along." sheepishly explained Thunderlane.

"Hey Shy!" greeted Rumble.

Shy's fantasies and of a magical night shattered into a million pieces...same as her heart. She could not put up with this any longer, her blood boiled in anger. "We're through Thunder."

"What?" Thunderlane was not sure if he heard her correctly.

"We...are...THROUGH!" she suddenly screamed in anger, the entire restaurant fell silent.

"Uh oh...someone is going to become a gelding at any moment." commented the waiter at the sight.

"Through?!" exclaimed the black coated pegasus.

"Are you deaf! We are done! Over! Finished you horrible excuse for a coltfriend!" she yelled at the stallion.

"Shy..."

"DON'T 'SHY' ME YOU PALE EXCUSE FOR A STALLION!" she yelled again. The yellow mare jumped on the table and place her face against his. "I tried being the perfect marefriend for you...but a relationship is a two way deal Thunder! Never once did you show how much you loved me...never once were chivalrous...never once did you tell me I was pretty and how much I mean to you! All you do is play your video games, make-out with me and skip all the way to hoofing me!"

"Did I say gelding...I meant corpse." commented the waiter to himself.

Thunderlane dare not say anything.

"Cool..." Rumble was in awe of Fluttershy "...now that's what I call a filly."

Fluttershy just gave a frustrated moan and flew out the restaurant.

The waiter came up to Thunderlane and gave him the bill. "Your bill sir."

The black stallion took the bill but his eyes went wide. "THAT MUCH FOR FIVE BOTTLES OF WINE?!"

"I added 5% to the price for the disturbance, just tell me when you're ready." said the waiter as he left.

Thunderlane did not bother to bring any money...foolishly thinking that Fluttershy will pay for all of it. "Uh...Rumble bro...do you like to wash dishes?"

"Yuck no!" responded the colt.

"Then you'll learn to like it tonight." Thunderlane did not look forward to tonight.
