Lend me your wings

What is HE doing here?!

In all of Equestria, he's right here, right NOW!

He blinked, as surprised to find me here as I was to find him.

He turned his head in the dog's direction.

"Hi Simon, sorry for being late." Simon nodded.

He briefly greeted Spike and Twilight, slightly bowing his head in their direction, before approaching me.

"Hi kid." I gulped.

His stare wandered higher than my eyes and he blinked again.

Everyone was looking at us in silence. The tension in the room was suffocating.

"H-Hi Craft." What should I do? What should I say?!

"H-How are you?"

I'll just try to be friendly or something.

"Don't go all namby pamby with me kid. I'll have to talk to you later. In private." He looked at me coldly, never once blinking.

He then turned to Simon and they started to talk together while walking to the next room.

He really doesn’t want us to be friendly.

I felt a nudge, it was Twilight.

"Do you know him? Where did you meet him? I've never seen him in Ponyville before." She was a bit intrigued by our display.

"H-He's Dash's father." She gasped.

"Oh, I understand why she was troubled about him." I looked at her.

"He is the ex-captain of the royal guard after all..." WHAT?! I knew he was badass and all but, the royal guard? really?!

I gulped once again.

"I'm sure you'll be fine. He may be her father but you did save his daughter. And him." She was patting the back of my right leg while smiling, trying to comfort me

I sighed and smiled too.

"Thank you Twilight." I patted her head, returning the gesture.

She turned to Spike.

"So, you came here to get that collar?"

He looked at her and nodded.

"And you gave him the fire he wanted, right?"

He nodded again.

"Good, let's go home then!"

"I can't go home." She turned to him, shocked by his answer.

"Why? You have the collar, he have the fire, why would you want to stay here?!"

"Oh! Is that money? I can give you more pocket-money if you want!"

"That's not that! He said he would pay me as long as I stay here of course, but that's not the problem."

"He's living here alone. And he can't go in town and talk to anypony without creating a wave of panic."

"B-But, that's not a place to stay for a baby dragon! Look at all these sharp tools! And that oven!"

"Oh come on Twi'! Rarity's boutique is even more dangerous than here. And I'm a dragon." He raised an eyebrow, trying to get a reaction from Twilight.

"I'm fireproof, you remember?" Twilight opened her mouth, trying to argue back but nothing came out.

"Really, it's cool here! You should come here from time to time too, you can't imagine everything we can do using gems!"

"And I was seeing them like regular snacks." He snickered.

Twilight wasn't reassured at all.

To be true, she was even more worried than before.

The room suddenly fell silent.

"Come on Twilight! I'm not going to live here for the rest of my life!"

I can't leave Twilight in that state.

"You say you're just staying here because he's alone and need a hand, right?"

He turned to me, surprised by my sudden sentence.

"Well, yeah."

"How about I work here? Instead of you." The two blinked.

"I can't provide him in dragon's stuff of course, but I'm sure I'll be able to help, I always loved to tinker with things."

"I have these babies after all." I lifted my two hands, twiddling my fingers and my thumbs.

"And I was looking for something to do here. It would be simpler for an human to work here than in town."

"What do you think?" Twilight's face lightened up, hearing my offer.

"I think Simon would be okay, but we'll have to ask him."

"And I'll still be able to come here from time to time!" he looked at Twilight as if asking for permission.

She nodded in agreement.

Craft and Simon came back from the other room.

Craft had some sort of goggles slung around his neck and something wrapped in clothes hooked on his back.

I'm sure he didn't have those before.

"Thank you Simon. I think I'll need your talents again in the future." Craft said smiling.

Sweet Celestia! He can smile!

Simon smiled back.

"You're welcome, my friend."

He then turned to look at us.

"So... Spike needs to go back with you Miss Sparkle?" Twilight and I blinked, a bit surprised.

"Dogs ears are sensitive. And you're pretty loud." He grinned.

"And Spike told me enough about his big sister to not understand it was her." Spike smiled back.

Guess that makes sense, I'll have to watch my tongue if I work here...

"And for the furless murgg, I'm sure he will be able to assist me. And even more if he learns magic. But the bed Spike was using is too small for him."

A murgg? What's that?

Wait, what?!

"Ehm, well, about the magic thing..." I rubbed my neck.

Craft cleared his throat to attract our attention.

"I have to go. It was a pleasure to meet you Twilight. Dash told me a lot about you. You're a good and loyal friend." He bowed a bit and smiled at her. She immediately returned the smile, blushing a bit at the sudden compliment.

"Simon, I'll come back to give you the feedbacks as soon as possible." He lifted his right hoof and Simon shook it with his right hand.

"And Max..." Oh fuck.

"How about you walk me back to the exit of the cave? I'm sure we have plenty of things to talk about." He smiled at me and I felt shivers crawling down my spine.

"Y-Yes of course."

We made our way to the edge of the cave and stood there in silence several seconds.

I already met the father of an ex.

But it wasn't that scary.

"So... You lost your hooves, but you now have a... horn?" He eyed me, up and down.

"Is it normal for humans to change like that?" I chuckled nervously.

"I-It's kind of a long story..." No answers.

"I'll give the short version then. Twilight tried to transform me into a pony, but for some reasons, it took me a full day to transform completely. When we met, the transformation wasn't complete, that's why my- I mean, the horn, wasn't... There." That sounds so stupid.

"The next day, I woke up as a full grown stallion, but I... Changed my mind and Twilight transformed me back into a human."

"And up until now, that horn hasn’t gone away, and we have no idea why... And I just learned that I can use magic." I looked up at it.

It doesn't sound stupid.

It is.

"So, you're going to keep it?"

"I-I don't know... Magic can be... helpful. But it's a bit too much for me, I think... But Simon just said that my magic could be useful..." And it's a horn.

A HORN.

"You should take the time to think about it. It's a big responsibility." He seemed dead serious about that.

"Yeah... But I don't have the time to think about something like that right now. I'll leave it a few days and decide then."

The surroundings were quiet now that the clanging and whistling sounds stopped.

The reflection of the moon was slowly swaying on the bog.

"Are you going to return to your world?" I looked over at him and the seriousness of his face hasn't decreased a bit.

"I..." What's with that question?!

I'll need to talk about that to my family at least.

"I don't believe so..."

He groaned and looked angrily at me.

"You don't believe so?! How can you be not sure about something like that?!"

"I-It's not simple." He turned towards me.

"It IS simple. Either you go back, or you stay. I know that you saved her, and Celestia knows how thankful I am towards you. But she never replied to me like she did yesterday."  If a stare could kill someone, I'd be deader than Mel Gibson’s career.

"I-I know! And she's the reason why I'm not in my world already. But I still have a family living there! I can't just choose one over the other. I still need time to-" He interrupted me once again.

"Listen kid, you saved her, you saved me, and you seem like a good guy. But I swear. I swear on Celestia's blood that if you make her unhappy, I'll find you, and I'll tell you what you did wrong, the hard way. Am I clear enough?" Forget about the other stare. That one could really kill me.

Is he Greek or something?

"Y-Yes.." I was shaking like a bitch.

Even if I was two heads taller.

He turned to look at the sky.

"She had enough. She doesn’t need that now."

He didn't need to say it; I knew he was thinking about her.

I sighed heavily.

"I'll do everything I can to make her happy. You can count on me." I was doing my best to seem sincere.

I'm not good at this type of things.

He turned to me again and his stare softened a bit before smiling back.

"Good. Now I really need to go. I heard a howl on my way here." He stepped forward and turned his head towards me.

"Don't forget about what you just said. I know I won't." With that said, he made his way into the forest, disappearing behind a tree.

I sighed softly and took a deep breath before looking at the moon once again.

"Okay, it went pretty well... Isn't it?" I chuckled.

I turned back and made my way inside the cave.

I opened the door and entered.

Twilight was glaring at something hung on the wall.

I approached and looked at it.

"Is that a map?"

She nodded.

"Yeah! That's amazing! Even in Canterlot, there aren’t any maps covering more than the Equestrian continent, or some maps covering Camelu, Cervidas or Zebrica but only those few places! Of course there are legends of countries far beyond the Antlertic Ocean, but I never thought the earth was so big! And that the diamond dogs did so much research about it! I-I really need to learn more about that!" She was obviously excited.

To be honest, it was exciting.

In the show they never talk about the planet, or the countries far from Equestria.

We just know about the Griffins Kingdoms, and that Zecora came from another country but that was pretty much the extent...

I took a closer look at the map and chuckled while reading the name of some countries.

Camelu? There's camel in this world?! Boardor?! Ha!

I looked over the entire region drawn out on the map, the mountains, the great oceans... when something caught my eye.

There's an archipelago in the extreme north-west of the map.

Ert, Elir, Eden? Eden?

"Simon?" He was talking with Spike while showing him plans.

He turned to me.

"You asked me before if I was from Eden right. What is that place?"

He approached me and looked up at the map.

"Yes. Eden the furthest country we discovered so far."

"Do people like me live there? Why did you ask something like that?" Curiosity isn’t a sin after all.

"Well, I know people living there are walking on two legs, and that some have horns, like you. But I don't really know anything more than that. I should have some books about it if you want to borrow them sometime."

"I was just wondering if there could be other humans here, but if they have horns, that's not really possible. Thank you anyway." He nodded.

Twilight was listening to each and every word exiting his mouth.

I took a quick look behind us and saw Spike yawning loudly.

And the earlier party was quite exhausting too.

"It's getting pretty late. I guess we should go back home, if it doesn’t bother you Simon. I'm a bit worried about a friend of mine."

Not really worried, of course. I just hope she didn't get lost on her way home or something.

'Don't drink and fly' or something.

Twilight followed my eyes and giggled.

"Yeah, Spike is still a baby dragon after all." She said, smiling.

"Do not worry about that. Are you sure you want to work here?" I nodded.

"Well, you can return here tomorrow afternoon. I think I'll need your help with something." He smiled and extended his right hand.

"Thank you Simon." I smiled back and shook his outstretched hand.

Or paw?

We then made our way to the exit.

As soon as we closed the door behind us, the sounds of hammering and steam whistling started again.

Spike was wobbling a bit, so Twilight used her magic to take him on her back.

"Let me carry him." I approached and took him on mine.

She looked at me a bit surprised.

"It's nice of you to do that."

"Well, maybe we're not the same species, but you're still a girl, and I'm a man." Like a bawss.

She raised an eyebrow and rolled her eyes.

"Okay..."

Ha! Chivalry isn't dead!

We made our way to Ponyville in silence.

"Simon is really interesting; I'll need to borrow some of the books he mentioned." She said, breaking the silence.

"Yeah, and his machines are quite similar to those in my world."

"Oh? You never told me anything about your world!" She was excited again.

"Yeah, I promised Dashie to tell you two everything about my world when we got home, but Scootaloo got lost first."

She smiled at me.

I was still thinking about Craft. I know he's doing what he thinks is right, but still...

Should I talk to Dash about it?

"Don't worry, she's fine." she patted my leg to reassure me.

"Y-You're reading my mind now?!"

"Well, I don't need magic to see how troubled you are."

"Yeah, I know, but that meeting with her father was a bit... disturbing."

Yeah, it's not every day you’re stared down by the father of your girlfriend.

Even on earth.

Girlfriend?

Guh.

My fillyfriend? Oh, marefriend? My special somepony?

That's just weird.

She chuckled.

"What? It's not like he said he'll kill you or something." I turned to her in surprise.

"You heard tha-?!" Busted.

"N-No, I mean, not at all!" I forced a laugh.

I'm so dumb.

She looked at me a bit disoriented.

"He did that?!" I hadn’t said anything. But my nervous tone had given it away, and she’s smart enough to pick up on things like that.

"Oh my... I think you should talk to her about it. I'm sure she will find a way to reconcile you."

I groaned softly.

"I hope so."

We walked the rest of the way to Twilight's library under the quiet moonlit sky.

She opened the door and I followed her to her chamber to laid Spike in his basket.

We came back in the hall, and Dash was there, sleeping on the sofa.

She was cuddled and had my pillow between her hooves, her face deeply burrowed in it.

My heart skipped a beat at the sight.

I stood there looking at her and Twilight had to nudge me to attract my attention.

"Should we wake her? Or will you be sleeping on the floor tonight?"

"No, let her sleep, I'll be fine on the floor." I smiled to her.

Her horn glowed levitating a pillow and a blanket from a shelf upstairs.

She gave them to me and I nodded.

"Thank you again Twilight." She smiled at me.

"Don't worry, but you have to tell me about your world tomorrow!" She was serious but I chuckled and nodded.

She smiled and turned, quietly walking up the stairs.

I dropped the pillow and the blanket on the carpet, right in front of the sofa.

She seems so peaceful.

I softly kissed her forehead.

I blinked, surprised by my own action.

I guess I won't be able to sleep much tonight...

I undressed and got myself comfortable under the blanket.

I closed my eyes, trying to put a bit of order in my brain.

Everything's going so fast.

I can't even remember of everything that happened since I wo-

Some movements cut me of my train of thoughts.

She sneaked under the blanket, crawling from my feet and traveling upwards and stopping while sticking her head out of the blanket.

"O-Oh, I woke you up? I'm sorry." Our faces were close.

Really close.

It was pretty dark, but I was still able to discern her glistering eyes looking right into mine.

She briefly brushed her muzzle against my nose.

I could feel my entire strength failing me again.

And I think she could feel it too because she giggled and grinned, her habitual teasing look locked on me once again.

She leaned forward and gently placed her lips on mine.

I softly moaned, and she broke the contact straight away.

She gave me another quick peck.

And a third.

That's too much.

"J-Just kiss me already!" She giggled.

"Oh, it's funny?"  I looped my arms around her shoulders and forced her lips on mine.

She moaned in surprise and closed her eyes as she felt my tongue making its way between her lips to find hers.

The taste of the cider was still there.

I kept kissing her like that for several seconds before breaking off.

"You're not giggling anymore?" I playfully whispered while grinning at her.

She raised an eyebrow.

"Oh yeah? What about that..." She rushed forward and kissed my neck.

Her right hoof was twiddling on my shoulder and her left one was gently caressing my right ear.

Why am I so sensitive there?!

I looped my right arm around her sides to caress her.

She jolted in surprise and her rump fell on my waist.

She giggled but kept the kisses on my neck.

I looped my other arm around her neck and started to softly brush her mane.

"You're so warm... A-And you smell so good..." She sighed, her hot breath caressing my skin.

She slowly lowered the kisses, going from my neck to my shoulders and making its way to my chest.

I moaned softly as I felt her tongue roll on my nipple.

Her crotch was now right on my tenting boxer.

"D-Dashie, ehmm... this is going a bit too far..."

She looked up at me quizzically.

She dropped her stare on her crotch and grinned.

She grabbed my hands in her hooves, using them as a support to slightly lift herself up.

She started to rub her hindquarters on my boxer.

Oh god.

It was weird at first but as she was riding me, I felt her now soaking excitation warming my crotch.

And the expression she had while looking at me was doing its job.

I felt the beatings of my heart accelerate more and more as she was looking at me, breathing heavily and biting her bottom lip.

She softly moaned, quickening and hardening the movements.

She then let out a whimper, throwing her head backwards and quivering as she tried to stifle an orgasm.

Too far my ass...

She's so hot right now.

My boxers was now drenched.

She flopped on my chest and sighed contentedly, still heavily breathing.

"Well... You had your fun but..." My boner was beginning to hurt from the lack of proper attention.

"It's my turn now." I whispered softly and she just slowly nodded.

My grin began to fade, seeing her not mowing for several seconds.

I saw the gentle rise and fall of her shoulders and she just sounded... asleep.

"Dashie? You're asleep? Seriously? Now?!" FUCK NO!

Author's note: NO SEX AGAIN! Or maybe a bit.

I'm late again it seems.

I finished that chapter yesterday, but was hoping my editor would be able to look at it.

But bad luck, I didn't saw him today either, so I'm posting it anyway.

What's best? Make you wait and got a perfect chapter, or should I post them anyway? Or maybe put a "non edited" quote after the name of the chapter or something? For those of you who can't wait.

Thanks again everyone for your favs :)

Edited by FlyLikeAPegas! Give him hugs!

Reworked on 09/11

Author's note²: OH GOD.

ALL THAT FEEL.

I need a fuckin picture of Dash in this very moment for my cover art.

Oh god, that would be like, so awesome.

Or maybe it'd be too explicit for the site? D:

And more sensual moments in the next chapter.

Oh gosh, this will be fun.

Anyway; Murggs are coming from a game I played and loved many years ago.

If you know where it's from, I'll let you bear my child.

If not, well, it's never too late.

PS: Finished at 08:15 AM. So, there might be some grammatical errors and such, too tired to reread everything, will do that when I wake up.
