(1 Week Later, Ponyville, Equestria, Torian`s POV)

For the past week things are changing drastically like the refitting of the HMS Warrior after raising her and a day for the pegasi to fly it over to Manehattan. After that, I was reading more about pony culture when a thing called 'Heat Season' caught my eye. It said that every fall and spring mares go through a hormone overload and wont stop at nothing until theyve been 'rutted' which in other words means fucked.

From today, Heat Season was tomorrow and If I were to make it without getting a mare impregnated and getting Minuette`s heart broken, I were to skip town and hide out in the Everfree Forest the night before. I packed a up a weeks worth of food and supplies since the Heat Season lasts about a week and went to grab some of my stallion friends: Big Mac, Thunder lane, and Doctor Whooves. They knew this day was coming and I asked them if we could stick together, They all agreed and we would leave the day before Heat Season began.

I began to sneak through Ponyville and picking up my guy friends one by one before heading off to the Everfree Forest, We chose the Everfree of all places since no mare would dare to trek inside it.

"I`m glad we all agreed to stick together, Last year I was almost spotted by Flitter and Cloudchaser, right before the season ended." Thunder Lane said shivering at the thought.

"You thought that was bad, My sisters were a mere mane`s breathe away from finding me in my hiding spot." Big Mac added.

"Sounds like you had stories to tell, why don`t we share them once we reach our hideout." I said as we we came across a cave. The cave was spacious and seemed like a long tunnel which also interested me.

"I recommend we explore this cave, seems like we may need an escape route in case we get spotted." Doctor Whooves implies and makes a valid point.

"Good Idea, we can`t be too careful. Thunder lane agrees and we all began spelunking. The cave had 2 systems, one was a dead end and the other lead up to the surface. I then had an idea and by th looks of the faces of my other friends, they were thinking the exact same thing; Building traps.

After a couple hours, We`ve laid out the traps and made ourselves comfortable as the Heat Season began and by now ever mare in Ponyville is looking for a stallion to calm that itch. All four of us had brought items to help us pass the time like books or magazines, but then things were beginning to take a turn 3 days later where almost all our food is depleted and we were getting bored.

"I`m so bored and hungry!" Thunderlane complained holding his stomach as it let out a hungry growl.

"I agree, We simply must eat something." Doctor Whooves agrees.

"But we ate all the reserve berries." I pointed out as fear sets in us.

"Y-You don`t mean we have to... to go back there?" Big Mac began shaking with fright.

"I`m afraid so, but if we are able to slip pass those heat-crazed mare, we need a plan and map out how we enter and leave." Doctor Whooves pointed out and we were glad we had a genius with us. But to reduce the risk of capture, only one of us can go and I volunteered.

The plan was simple; Step 1, slip into town, Step 2, Snoop into the market place, Step 3 Grab as much fruit and food as possible, and finally Step 4 get back to the cave without any mares following. Back in my times of war, I was never trained for spy or Intel collecting missions since I was never in the army, All I know is that the important and sometimes most crucial thing to remember is to be silent and nimble.

Once Entering Ponyville, I hid in any brush of plantation I could find to hide and peeking out, Mares were almost everywhere with lustful looks and a blush on each muzzle. They wandered around talking to one another.

"Oh, I soo need a stallion right now!"

"I know right, but we`ll find one eventually."

I was scared at this point, I was mere feet away from the market area and it was infested with mares. I then popped an idea and grabbed a rock and threw it over into a the opposite direction. Like sharks to a dying seal, The mares ran off into the direction of the rock screaming with glee thinking a stallion had given away his position.

With the coast clear, I snuck into the market area with caution and began scavenging for food items like oranges, apples, carrots, and other produce until my sachel was full of food and slipped a few more into my pockets. As my raid ended, so did my cover as 3 mares located me and screamed with glee.

"Oh fuck!" I mentally thought as I immediately began running away.

"Get him!" A mare shouted as they all took off after me. Going as fast as my legs could carry me, The mares weren`t far behind and gaining on me, I immediately thought of a war scenario where you imagine the world around you as a battlefield, so I did just that and imagined that enemy dogs were after me and I was a POW that managed to escape an enemy prisoner camp.

With the image in my mind, I wasted no time by trying to jinx them somehow, then I did I began to scale up the sides of buildings and on a roof and ran across it. The mares then lost sight of me after not knowing where I went and crept out of Ponyville.

"Where is Torian, I sure hope he didn`t get captured." Thunderlane wondered.

"Please be patient, I`m sure he has to be careful around those mares." The Doctor said with confidence.

"I`m back from grocery shopping gentlecolts!" I hollered with triumph as I laid out food that will last us a few more days.

"My My, Quite the Haul Torian, good work." Big Mac complimented.

"Yeah dude, this is awesome!" Thunderlane held up an apple with hunger on his face.

"Im surprised you didnt get captured by those mares, I`m quite impressed." The Doctor implied.

"Well as long as you know what to do in a situation, You can accomplish anything." I smiled and we all chowed down and awaited for the Heat Season to come to an end so we can all go home. In all honesty, I enjoyed the quality bro time we had together like telling stories, playing cards, and joking around. It also insured our lasting friendship as gentlecolts and its always nice to have a few guy friends with you to survive a week of sex-crazed mares waiting to get their hooves on a stallion.
