Chapter 18: Starting a Herd(Un-Edited)

(Dream Realm)

I opened my eyes and I was standing on the glass surface again. Everything from it looked pretty normal and like how it was from before, but now, two new symbols were added to the sides, one on the left and one on the right.

The one on the left was a zodiac symbol. The color was pure deep sea blue that gave off an amazing shine.

The other on the right was, a pink crystalized heart. Pretty plain, but I’ll buy it.

The two new symbols then glowed and then I saw two new orbs of light in front of me. One being deep sea blue, and the other being pink.

“Passion…”

The blue orb glowed and my body was covered in a blue aura.

“Love…”

The pink orb lit up and I was now covered in a pink aura.

After the aura and orbs vanished in a bright light, two new beings stood before me. One wearing a blue robe and hood, while the other was pink. They look more curvy than the others I’ve met, so I assumed they might be females.

I was expecting another fight from them when I got into my battle stance, but they gently rose their hands up in front of me.

“We’re not here to fight young Daniel.” The blue being said in a female voice.

“We came here to ask you some questions.” The pink one said.

Questions? No, I was the one who wanted answers from my questions.

“I should be asking you two some questions. What is the meaning of everything that’s been happening ever since I arrived in Equestria? All these visions, these dreams, this power that I have, every bit of it doesn’t make any sense to me. Start talking, what’s going on?” I demanded.

“The time isn’t right yet Daniel. But very soon, you’ll find out the truth, but for now, answer our questions.” The pink being said.

I sighed deeply and relaxed. “Alright. What is it?”

“Do you truly care about the ponies you’ve met and will protect them no matter what?” The blue being asked.

“Do you love every one of them, and vow to hold onto that love for all of eternity, even to those you truly love to your heart?” The pink being asked.

“First off, of course I care about them. If they never showed me friendship and care to me, I would have never came this far. Second, of course I love all the ponies around me, even Twilight and Pipsqueak. I see so much in them, and I’ll always love them, and my friends to my heart and always will.” I said firmly.

The two female beings smiled warmly to me.

“Guess she and the others were right about him. I never met anyone like him.” The blue being said to the pink being.

“Indeed. I can sense a strong amount of love coming from his heart to his friends and to those he really loves forever.” The pink being replied.

The two looked back at me, with their smiles still present.

“You still have a long way to go before you can truly unlock your full potential Daniel.” The pink being said.

“But as long as you have your friends, and those you care about, you can do it.” The blue being said.

I nodded, even though I’m still pissed that they’re not giving me answers.

"We give you our word, the answers you seek will be answered soon. Have patience." The blue being said.

Then Darkness took me again and I was sinking.

“Good luck Daniel.” The two being said to me.

Before the darkness engulfed me, I felt a cool stream flow through my blood and followed it up with a powerful force that made my body jolt.

(Dream End)

The sounds of the birds chirping from outside was like a beautiful alarm going off. I slowly opened my eyes and yawned softly. As I was starting to get feeling into my body again, I then felt a soft, warm, furry body snuggled against me. I looked down and saw Twilight sleeping peacefully in my grasp.

Her arms were wrapped around me in a loving manner. She mumbled my name in her sleep while nuzzling me a little.

It brought a loving smile to my face, seeing her sleeping peacefully by my side. I looked up and saw it was eight ten. I have to get up and get to the farm now. I looked back at Twilight and gently shook her shoulder.

“Twilight, it’s time to wake up.” I whispered in her ear.

She moaned in her sleep and nuzzled into me, refusing to wake up. Twilight was one that wakes up at the proper time, but since our relationship started, I guess she found me as a peaceful sleeping teddy bear. Couldn't blame her. If I was in her shoes, I too would refuse to wake up.

“Okay Twi, you made me come to this.”

I gently rose her head up and slowly leaned into her and my lips met hers in a soft kiss.

She moaned again and slowly opened her eyes and she blushed.

I broke the kiss and smiled at her.

“Morning Twi. Enjoyed the wake up call?” I teased.

Her blush deepened, but smiled. “I did. How about I return the favor?”

Caught off guard, she lunged into me and pressed her lips hard against mine and she let out soft moans in her mouth while her tongue shot into my mouth.

I was surprised by the sudden attack, but enjoyed it. Okay Twi, you want a battle, I’ll give you one. I shot my tongue back into hers and our tongues fought for dominance. I didn’t have any good practice in my tongue kissing, neither did Twilight, but I was slowly starting to feel her tongue give away. Soon, I pinned her tongue down and I won the battle, and then I slowly explored her mouth, getting every inch of her.

Twilight moaned, enjoying me dominating her mouth and my tongue gracefully gliding every inch of her mouth.

Soon after, I broke the kiss, leaving a strand of saliva between us. We both breathed heavily and were blushing, but smiling.

“Looks like I win.” I said with a victorious grin.

“Seems like it, but I’ll win next time.” She said with a challenging grin.

“Is that a challenge?”

“Maybe?”

I smiled and shook my head. I gently rose up and got off of the bed and stretched. As I stretched my back, I felt a pair of soft, warm, furry hands slowly snaking their way around my waist and stroking my chest. The feeling was very pleasant and I let out a soft moan. I was starting to get aroused again. I tried to fight it, but the pleasure was too much for me to fight against. I felt Twilights body pressed against my back and laid her head on my shoulder.

“How does this feel?” Twilight whispered seductively in my ear.

“...It feels sooo good~.” I softly moaned in approval.

“Then you’ll enjoy this.”

Her hands slowly snaked down my chest and to my stomach then to my waist.

“Twi...I thought oooh~ we talk about this.”

“I know...but my heat is starting to kick in a little. Please...I want you so badly.”

“We can’t Twi. Spike and aaaaah~ Pip are still here and asleep.”

She snapped out of it and looked at the young drake and colt still asleep in their beds. She retreated her hands, folded them behind her back and frowned a little.

“You’re right. I’m really sorry Daniel.”

I smiled softly and gave her a loving kiss. “It’s alright Twi. There are some times where we can’t control ourselves. I’m not mad at you.”

Twilight smiled and kissed my cheek. “Thank you Daniel. I’ll try to keep my heat under control. But no promises.”

I nodded. “Alright. I’m gonna take a quick shower and meet you downstairs after.”

She nodded and went over to wake up Spike and Pipsqueak and started to wake them up.

I stepped into the bathroom and took a warm shower, which felt very pleasant. After that, I got into my clothing and went downstairs, where Twilight and the others were having breakfast.

After we all ate, I left the library and walked down the path to Sweet Apple Acres. I saw AJ and Big Mac carrying a few buckets of apples to the farm.

“AJ, Big Mac!”

The two turned around and saw me, and flashed me a smile.

“Howdy Daniel. How are ya today?” Big Mac asked.

“Doing good.” I replied smiling.

“Alright Daniel, me and Big Mac got some of the trees done before ya got here, so we’ll leave the last few fer you. Think ya can handle it?” AJ asked.

I grinned. “No problem. This will be a walk in the park.”

“Good. Now, take some buckets and git them to the farm when yer finished.”

I nodded and placed my sword down and took off my jacket. I grabbed four huge buckets and carried them to the few trees that still have a shit ton of apples. I grabbed a branch and lifted myself off the ground and started picking the apples.

Each apple looked amazingly red and shiny today. I can also see my reflection on them, which was surprising.

I threw the apple into the bucket and continued the process. The heat rose up again in the fields and I was sweating a little. I took off my shirt again and felt the cool breeze flowing. After picking a few more apples, I grabbed the buckets and carried them back to the farm.

On my way back, I saw somepony in the distance. It was a little hard to who it was, but I was a little surprised to see Fluttershy walking up the path. She was looking a little nervous though.

I placed my buckets down, placed my shirt back on and walked up to her.

“Hey Fluttershy. How are you doing?”

“Oh..umm..d-doing well.”

“So what brings you here to the farm? Looking for Applejack, Big Mac?”

Her face flushed. “Umm..a-actually...I...came here...t-t-to...see...y-you.”

I was a little surprised that she wanted to see me, but for what?

“Okay. Is there something you want to ask me or something?” I asked.

The blush on her face deepened. “Well...I have...b-been feeling...very happy with you for a while...e-ever since you visited me...and spended some t-t-time with m-me...I...I...was wondering...if...w-w-we c-c-could...be...more...than...f-f-friends.”

My eyes widened and a blush formed on my cheeks. She...wants to be in a relationship with me. I was about to tell her that I’m with Twilight, but remembering about the herd thing was brought back into my brain. How can I not deny her? She’s a very fragile, timid, sweet beautiful mare. I might as well give the herd thing a try.

“You want me to be your boyfriend Fluttershy?” I asked.

She nodded shyly and the blush grew until her face was red. She looked so cute and beautiful when she blushes.

I smiled warmly and placed my hands on her shoulders. “Above anypony who would ask me this, I never thought a beautiful shy mare like you would. I’m very proud of you Fluttershy. Also, I would love to be your boyfriend.”

Her eyes widened. “R-really?”

I placed one of my hand on her left cheek and gently stroked it. “Through my soul and heart.”

She smiled happily while tears of joy ran down her face.

I brought her to a loving embrace and she gladly returned it.

“Flutters?”

“Hmm?”

“I just want let you know, Twilight is also part of my herd.”

She looked up at me with surprise. “You’re starting a herd?”

I smiled. “Why not? You two are very beautiful mares that deserve a caring, loving boyfriend. I hope you and Twilight don’t mind about it.”

She smiled and nuzzled into my chest. “Not at all Daniel. Me and the girls talked about starting a herd with a stallion that would catch our eyes one day a while back before you came to Equestria.”

I smiled while a blush formed. “Well, I’m glad to have you and Twilight, and maybe some of the others in the future.”

She looked back up at me with another blush formed. “Can I...kiss you?”

I smiled and cupped her cheeks. “Like I told Twilight, you don’t have to ask. You can kiss me anytime, because I love you.”

She smiled with her blush still present. “I love you too.”

We both slowly leaned toward each other with our eyes closed and our lips just inches from each other. Like before, our lips met in a very loving kiss.

I felt my heart soar again by this amazing feeling. Even though I was kissing another pony, it didn’t matter. I was in love with two beautiful mare that love me.

Fluttershy slowly wrapped her arms around my neck and pressed her lips slightly harder against mine.

I wrapped my arms around her waist and pressed my lips harder against hers.

Then by surprise, Fluttershy pressed her tongue against my lips, begging for entry. Fluttershy caught me off guard by this bold action, but who am I to blame?

I happily opened my mouth and her tongue danced around with mine. I felt my body heat up a little and I tightened my embrace on her, trying to make our kiss go deeper.

Fluttershy let out a cute soft moan in her mouth enjoying everything that’s happening in our kiss. Every kiss I give to someone that's new to my herd is unbelievable. I know I will have new ponies in my herd soon.

Soon, our moment was interrupted by a familiar western female voice.

“Well ah’ll be. Never thought ah wud see the day.”

We broke our kiss and saw Applejack a foot near us and was smiling.

Me and Fluttershy blushed deeply in embarrassment.

“So ah guess this means Daniel is yer special somepony, eh Fluttershy?” AJ asked.

Fluttershy ‘eepd’ while hiding most of her face in her beautiful pink hair. “Umm...y-yes.”

“Well, ah’m mighty proud of ya sugarcube. Anyway, ya can talk ta him later on. Right now, he has a few more things ta tie up before he leaves.” AJ explained.

“Oh...o-okay. I guess I’ll leave now.” She turned to me. “I’ll talk to you later Daniel.”

“I’ll see you soon Fluttershy.” I said and giving her one last kiss.

She blushed, but smiled and waved goodbye while leaving the orchard.

I grabbed two buckets while AJ took the other two, and we both headed back to the farm.

“So yer startin a herd eh?” AJ asked.

I blushed a little, but smiled and nodded. “You can say that. Ever since I fell in love with Twilight. I’m more happy than ever. Starting a herd shouldn't be that bad. Though it was a little surprising that Polygamy relationships are acceptable here in Equestria, but I'm happy about it, and have now gained Fluttershy's love.”

AJ smiled warmly. “Ya seem like the perfect stallion to make a mare happy. Ah fer one am glad fer them.”

“What about you? Do you have a stallion?” I asked.

AJ frowned and looked away. “Ah did once, but ah learned he was only using me.”

“What?”

“He got dumped by his last marefriend and decided to use me to try to git back with her. He didn’t tell me about it at all. Ah thought from the day ah met him, ah thought he was the one.”

We got to the farm and we both placed the buckets down.

“One day, ah was walkin down the valley when ah saw him with his marefriend, kissin her like there wus no tomorrow fer them. Ah wasn’t really surprised by it, but when ah walked up to them and greeted him, he told me ta buzz off.”

My anger was rising a little, but it grew as AJ continued in her story.

“Ah was hopin ah could be part of his herd, but he told me ah was… a waste of space and life.” Tears were now flowing out of her eyes as she cupped her mouth. “He told me ta fuck off and he didn’t want ta see me ever again. After that, ah ran home cryin my eyes out.”

I felt very horrible for her. This stallion used her to get what he wanted and didn’t even care for her. My heart shattered in sadness and pain. I was also very angry at this stallion. Who could ever use her like that? It's sickening.

I then pulled her into a loving embrace, and she gladly returned it.

“I’m so sorry that he used you and didn’t care about you AJ. He never deserved anypony as beautiful and strong like you.” I whispered.

AJ broke the hug and looked at me with a blush on her cheeks.

“Ya...think ah’m beautiful?”

I smiled. “Of course I do. You, and the others are amazing beautiful mares. You deserved a better stallion than that prick. I know you’ll find the one you deserve.”

Applejack smiled. “There is this one stallion, ah did have mah eyes on fer a while.”

“Really? Who?”

“Well, he’s strong, caring, calm, protective, honest, and is loads of fun to be around with.” She explained.

When I was thinking over who this stallion would be, the dots then connected, and I knew who she was referring to.

“You mean me right?” I asked smiling.

AJ smiled. “Bingo sugarcube.”

I laughed. “Wow. It’s incredible that three mares reveal their true feeling to me in just two days. But, I’m happy that you told me.”

“Ah wanted ta wait fer the right moment for tellin ya, and ah believed right now was the best time ta tell ya.”

I smiled warmly. Every time a mare would tell me their feelings towards me, it would make me even happier. After what happened to AJ and her last boyfriend, the least I can do is try to make her happy again, and give her the love she deserved. “AJ, would you like to be part of my herd?”

From saying that, her eyes widened and a new deep blush formed on her cheeks.

“Ya really mean it?”

“Of course sugarcube.” I answered in her accent.

From that, AJ lunged into me and kissed me hard on the lips.

The impact was strong, and I fell on my ass and AJ lied on top of me. Taking this chance she darted her tongue into my mouth and tasted every bit of me.

I tried to fight her, but her tongue was strong like every part of her. Clearly, she had more practice with kissing before that asshole dumped her.

Even though I couldn’t fight back, I enjoyed her dominating me and exploring my mouth.

Without warning, Applejack grabbed the bottom part of my shirt and threw it off of me and threw it to the side. Her soft orange hands endlessly glided up and down my chest.

I softly moaned by her touch and my body started heating up again. I was getting aroused by this and I wanted more, but I had to control myself. Applejack broke the kiss and looked at me with half lidded eyes.

“Ya like that sugarcube?” She asked seductively.

“Y...yes.~” I said moaning in approval.

“Ah’m only getting started.”

Her hands glided down until they reached my pants. My eyes shot open, and I knew what she wanted, but like Twilight, I didn't wanted to take advantage of her while her heat was going to start acting up. Not only that, they’re gonna be in heat soon.

“AJ, hold on.”

Her hands stopped and she looked up at me.

“What the matter sugarcube?”

“I know you really want to do it, and I do to, but right now isn’t the best time. We’re still outside of the farm, and I have to get going soon.” I explained.

AJ frowned a little. “Oh, ah see.”

I smiled. “Don’t worry though. I promise later on when I have the chance, I’ll make it your special night you’ll never forget.”

She smiled and kissed me and leaned into my ear.

“Hold on to that chance then, cause ah got a bull ta tame later on.” She whispered into my ear seductively and licked it.

I shivered in delight and smiled at into her beautiful emerald eyes. We got up and I grabbed my shirt and put it on.

After the course of a few hours, I left the orchard with a bag of bits in it. I then walked back to the town and saw many ponies smiling at me.

“Daniel!”

I turned and saw Lyra running up to me.

“Lyra! Long time no see!” I shouted waving at her.

She lunged at me and tackled me into a hug.

I laughed and returned the embrace.

After around two minutes, our embrace broke and we smiled at each other.

“Where have you been?” I asked.

“I had to help Bon Bon with her deliveries from the candy shop. *Sigh* Pain in the flank it was.” She explained.

“You and her work at a candy shop?” I asked.

“Bon Bon owns the shop. I just help her out.” She said. “Anyway, are you doing well?”

“Very.”

“I heard rumors from other ponies that you took down a beast called a Vironous a few weeks ago. Is it true?”

I nodded. “Yeah, what you heard was true.”

Her face beamed. “That’s amazing! I wish I was there to see it.”

I chuckled. “While you were gone, I also received special abilities you wouldn’t imagine.”

“Really?”

“Yep. Let me show you.” I crossed two fingers into a plus and shouted. “Shadow Clone Jutsu!”

After a puff of smoke, a clone appeared next to me.

Lyra’s eyes widened and her jaw dropped.

“What in the name of Celestia!?”

“Crazy huh? I just received this power around two days ago.” I said.

I then explained to her about the Timberwolf invasion, seeing weird things, telling her about Jutsu and Chakra and through Elemental Chakra. After I explained, my clone disappeared in a puff of smoke.

“That’s all incredible. I can’t believe I missed so much while I was gone.” She said.

“It’s okay Lyra. You’re here now with me right?” I asked smiling.

Lyra blushed. “Yeah. You’re right. Oh, would you like to come with me and visit the candy shop?”

I smiled. “I would love to.”

She smiled and we both walked together to the shop. Along the way there, Lyra gently laid her head on my shoulder, making me blush a little, but smile. I wrapped my arm around her and pulled her closer to me.

She blushed madly, but smiled and nuzzled my shoulder. I'm probably sure I know where this is going some time later at the shop.

We finally made it to a small shop with a little bit of candies decorated around the house.

We stepped inside and my eyes widened by the amount of candy that was around the place.

"Woah, this place is amazing. Did Bon Bon actually make all this?" I asked.

Lyra giggled. "Yep. Making candy is her special talent."

“Bon Bon, I’m back!” Lyra called out.

“In the kitchen!”

We both walked into the kitchen and saw Bon Bon making some sandwiches.

“Hey Bon Bon.”

She turned around and saw me and Lyra.

“Oh, Daniel, I didn’t expect you to visit.” She said.

“Lyra invited me here. I couldn’t say no to my favorite mint unicorn.”I said smiling at Lyra, receiving a blush on her cheeks.

“You’re very sweet Daniel.” Lyra said.

“Hehehe, I try.”

“Me and Lyra were about to have some Dinner. Would you like to join us?” Bon Bon offered.

“I would love to.” I answered smiling.

We sat down and ate the vegetarian sandwiches BB made. The two told me about their deliveries, where they traveled to, and Lyra telling Bon Bon about what happened during my time in Ponyville while they were traveling.

“Looks like you had more of a blast while we were traveling. I hope you didn’t get hurt.” BB said a little concern.

“I had a few close calls, but nothing I could handle.” I answered.

“Well, I’m just glad you’re okay.”

“Me too. I didn’t know what I would do without you.” Lyra said.

I smiled warmly at her. “That’s very sweet to say Lyra. I’m glad I have you as a friend.”

Lyra looked away with a huge blush on her cheeks.

Bon Bon picked this up and smirked. “Lyra, do you have a crush on him?”

“WHAT!? No I don’t!” She exclaimed with her face going red.

I chuckled a little. “Lyra, do you really like me?”

“Well...I...umm…*sigh* you got me. I do like you Daniel.” She said quietly.

I smiled and then surprised her by giving her a kiss on the cheek.

She darted her head up and looked at me with a huge blush on her cheeks.

“That’s very sweet of you Lyra. I’m glad you have feelings for me.”

“How long have you had your crush on him Lyra?” BB asked.

“For a while. I couldn’t stop thinking about you Daniel. You’re very sweet, kind and nice to be with.” Lyra told me.

I smiled. “You’re a crazy, energetic, sweet Unicorn Lyra, but that's what i like about you. I’m happy that you have feeling for me.”

“Does this mean…”

“Lyra, would you like to be part of my herd?” I asked with a loving smile.

Lyra then pounced on me and hugged me tightly.

“YES YES YES! A MILLION TIMES YES!!” She shrieked in joy while nuzzling me. Guess I was right.

I chuckled and returned the embrace. I was feeling more happy with every mare that joins my herd. If this keeps up, my heart will explode and my love will gush everywhere around everypony.

“Awww, isn’t that adorable. I’m so happy for you Lyra.” Bon Bon said.

“Thank you Bon Bon. I promise to him I’ll be a great herd member.” She said with a loving smile on her face.

“Make sure Lyra gets the love she deserves, okay?” Bon Bon asked me.

I smiled. “Don’t worry, I will.”

I placed another kiss on Lyra's cheek, but she surprised me by locking her lips against mine. I didn’t fight it and I sank into the kiss. I felt my heart beating with the love I held for her, and I loved it. After a few seconds, she broke the kiss and smiled at me.

“I love you Daniel.” She said.

“I love you too.” I replied smiling warmly. “Well, I gotta get going. It was really nice to see you guys again.”

“You're welcome here anytime Daniel. Our doors are open for you.” Bon Bon said smiling.

“Thank you Bon Bon. See you two later.” I said leaving.

“Bye Daniel. I love you!” Lyra called out.

I smiled and waved goodbye to her. After I left, I headed back to the Library. It was fairly quiet from my walk back to the Library with the stars and moon over me. I haven’t seen one pony, neither a stallion or mare in sight. Then, the Heat Season thing came to mind. The Heat Season was Tomorrow, and the mare are getting rested up to find any stallion to mate with.

I was a little nervous, but I quickly regained composure and I picked up the pace to the Library. I quietly opened and closed the door and quietly walked up that stairs. When I reached Twilight’s room, I slowly opened the door and saw Twilight, Spike and Pipsqueak asleep.

Knowing that Twilight and the others will be up at the crack of dawn, it’s for the best to wake up very early. For now though, I should focus on getting some sleep. I took off my jacket and shirt and walked over to my bed and laid down next to Pip, who was stirring a little.

He must have picked up my presence, and he nuzzled into my chest and wrapped his arms around me.

It brought me a small smile and I ruffled his mane softly.

I took out my Iphone, placed my earbuds in and set a time to wake up from my slumber. After that, I laid my head onto my pillow and fell asleep. Tomorrow and through the next few weeks, will be one of my greatest challenges yet.

Author's Note

Hey everypony. Hope you all enjoyed this Chapter. I decided to go with Fluttershy to be Daniel's next herd member because she’s one of my top favorite ponies. Don’t worry about Rarity and the others. They’ll be joining Daniel’s herd after the Heat Season has passed. Peace out everypony.

I'm sure all of you are a little confused that Bon Bon is happy for Lyra since she joined Daniels herd, but I'll let you all in on something. I've read and heard that Lyra and Bon Bon are in a relationship. A little something will happen later on for daniel, and he'll be in for the time of his life. Hehehe Also, I didn't forget about Derpy or Luna. They'll be in as well, but later on. Trust me.
