Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Jason was laying in his bed in boxers, his chest was on fire, the large X shaped scar on his chest and the mark where he was impaled, may have been healed but they still hurt, not to mention that even with the moon pool'a magical properties, his knee was still fucked, apart from all that, he had another dilemma, wrapped around his body was a half naked, still incredibly pissed off, sleeping Berry Punch, who was less then happy to not only have another Alicorn mare loving with them, but also that Jason almost died. This angry cuddling wouldn't have been all that bad except that Jason needed to get up for to go see Shy for tier lunch date.

So being as sneaky as he can, Jason slipped out of her grip before grabbing some clothes and entering his bathroom, as he entered the shower and the hot water hit his skin, he felt a pair if arms wrap around his body causing him to blush "just because I am angry with you doesn't mean that you should run away" Berry said before Jason turned to see her in all her bake glory.

"I'm not trying to run away, I have sore Shy's lunch date today" he said making her smile before she inspected him.

"Oh yea and this is the first time I have seen you naked" she said in a sultry voice before leaning forward and kissing him softly "we could get bet..... ahhhh!" She was cut off as the water turned ice cold, freezing the two, who quickly exited to dry off, Jason got dressed as Berry came out in a top and miniskirt "Iron was washing the dishes" she growled before gently pinning him to the wall and kissing him "we are finishing what we started tonight, okay?" He asked which Jason simply smile and kissed her deeply before she released him and he grabbed his Yellow 'Fear Corp' hoodie before leaving.

As he walked he passed pinkie walking around looking for some pony before she saw Jason and hugged him "hey Jase, have you seen Dash?" She asked.

"No I haven't seen Skittles" he said as he spied her on a cloud watching them.

"Oh okay well, see ya" she said before bouncing away, giving Jason a decent view before he returned his gaze to dash who was hiding.

"What are you doing?" He asked, causing her to float down to standing in front of him.

"Well I'm hiding from her as she can get a little intense at times" she said.

"Well Skittles, that's what she I like and seeing a your her friend, you have to enjoy it because if you don't and loose her, then you are going to regret it. " he said making her sigh.

"Okay Jason, I'll go see what she wants " she said before hugging him and taking off after pinkie as Jason continued on to the cafe that Shy asked him to meet him at. He looked around and couldn't see her so he went and took a seat to wait for her, as he did a stallion In a suit approached him with a menu.

"Here you go sir" he said a he handed Jason a menu, "would you like a beverage?"

"A Latte please and may I have a second menu?" He asked getting a nod before the stallion left before looking at his watch.

"Sorry I'm late, Angel was being difficult" Shy said landing in front I him, her hair was a mess and she was wearing a light green polo and pink shorts.

"It's fine Shy, you look lovely" he sad making her blush before she looked at herself as gasped, "what?" He asked.

"I'm still in my Pjs and my mane as tail are in a horrible state" she said getting a bit teary "I'm sorry Jason, I'm not usually li... Eep" she was saying before Jason stood up, walked over before pulling out a Swiss Army knife which he pulled out a comb attachment before pouring water into a glass that was already on the table as he wet the comb and quickly groomed her mane before pulling out a rubber band and doing her mane into a pony tail before he removed his hoodie and offered it to her which she took and put on before smiling at him as h sat back down wearing a pink top, that was red before he accidentally dyed all his white tops pink thanks to Morning putting her red top in the wash.

"Thank you Jason" she said as she noticed most if the mares at the coffee shop looking at them wit soft smiles causing her to blush more "but what you did is what a mare usually does for a stallion" she said making him chuckle.

"I'm not a stallion" he said as the waiter returned with Jason's coffee before taking their orders and leaving.

"You are too nice that is coming from me" she said with a smile as she looked down at the symbol on the hoodie. "I'm what does this symbol stand for?"

"It is for the yellow lantern corp of Fear" he said gaining her attention "it's for those who invoke fear into their enemies" he said making her smile softly.

"Well the symbol is nice even if it's meaning isn't" she said "um can I ask you why you accepted my request to date me?" she asked making Jason sigh.

"Well I didn't actually know what the feather meant, and I didn't want to disrespect it and reject it so I took it, I thought about it the entire night, mostly as decided that I would actually be happy with you" he said making her blush hard.

"Thank you Jason, for being an amazing Sta.... Man and accepting me" she said as she reached out and held his hand which he gave a gentle squeeze back as their food arrived.

"So what do you see in me?" He asked making her blush.

"Well, your super nice, you are the good kind of protective which I found out from Berry, you are funny, you help out a friend in need, even though each time has lead to pain and suffering on your part, you are quite handsome and strong, you have a lot of energy and will and lastly, you smell divine" she said, saying the last part softly as they finished their food.

"Wow, thank you Shy well your breathtaking "he said making her turn beer red.

"Thank you, um would... Would It be okay if you become my Coltfriend and I join your herd? If that's okay with you" she asked hopefully.

"Sure, I'd love to have an amazing mare be my partner" he said smiling as the waiter came over and before Shy could pay, Jason did before he got up and helped Shy up and walked back to hers.

"I am sorry that I have wasn't the most best dressed or bed looking today" he said making Jason chuckle as they passed by a river as the sun was setting "hey um can we stop a I would like to say hello to some of my friends" he asked which Jason nodded in which they went to the edge and several critters were around and a off looking turtle which Jason picked up and saw that it was connected to a hose. He looked up and saw Skittles with a spyglass giving a sheepish look before she vanished trying to take the evidence with her, unfortunately this resulted in Jason face planting in the water.

"Oh my Jason, what happened?" She asked as he pushed himself of the ground.

"I was fishing and it got away from me" he said spitting water and mud from his mouth.

"Oh well next time use a rod or a net, anyway, we have to get you home bet you catch a cold" she said leading him to her home and inside "Okay, strip" she said without hesitation.

"What? Oh right" he said removing his top only for her to gasp, "what?"

"What happened to you Jason? Two days ago you didn't have those scars!" She said tracing her finger across on.

"Oh yea, I fought a creature called an overlord who wanted to eat mine and nightmare moons heart an wanted to make Luna his bitch" he said making her gasp. "It's fine, he is dead and now Nightmare lives with me" he added.

"Oh that's good... I think, anyway let's get you stripped so I can was your clothes" she said which he nodded and stripped to his boxers "and those too" she said pointing at his boxers that were soaked.

"Your kidding right?" He asked as she shook he head and held out a towel before turning. "Damn" he said removing his boxers and putting his towel on.

"Good, I'm care to stay for dinner? You don't have to stay if you don't want to that is" she said 'clever girl to take my clothes'

"Yes because walking through a town infested with single horny mares only in a towel is a brilliant idea" he said sarcastically which made her giggle and blush.

"Sorry, um you clothes should be try after dinner" she said as she led him to her couch before walking off.

"Well this is interesting" he said leaning his head back as sighing. The night continue on quietly, Shy and Jason talked as enjoyed their food before Jason got dressed and headed off after giving Shy a kiss and headed off.

Upon arriving home, Jason discovered a note on his door, it stated that all the mares had gone to Canterlot for a meeting, which Jason simply shrugged an entered his home only to be greeted by Snow as he headed to bed with the wolf in toe.

(Next afternoon)

"Alright Rose, your flower garden is now bunny proof" Jason stated as he packed up his tools.

"Thank you Jason, here is your pay" she said handing him a pouch of bits which he accepted before moving on, as he walked he noticed a lot of ponies staring at something, as he looked to were they were looking he clenched his fist, in front if him was a 7 foot tall Griffion belittling Shy and scaring her, causing her to run away crying. Ignoring his better judgement, he approached the Griffion who was inspecting leaning against a wall with a smug look on her face. " hey Birdy, i have a gift for you" he said gaining re attention. She wore a black torn skull top and tore jeans.

"What is it dweeb?" She asked moments before he kicked her in the sternum with his steel cap boots, causing her to drop to her knees, as she did he grabbed her by the back of the head.

"Listen little Birdy, scare or bully my marefriend again and things will get really bad for you" he said before letting go, only for her to swipe across hi chest, missing his sling but tearing open his short "that was my favourite top" he said before glaring at her as she rose to her feet.

"I'm gonna do worse then that Dweeb" she said as Jason dropped his bag and removed his ruined top before getting into a stance.

"Shall we Birdy?" He asked before she growled as launched herself at him, only for him to dodge and punch her lightly just under the ribs which she swiped backwards and got him across the face, leaving four scars running up from below the right side of his mouth up passed his right eye, not deep enough to damage it but enough to leave permanent scars. "Okay let's dance" he said before grabbing her head and head butting her before dropping down as slamming his fist into her knee, dislocating it causing her to grunt in pain and drop onto her back moments before she found his boot against her throat. "Listen Birdy, this I your final warning, fuck with me or my friends again, and I am having chicken tonight" he stated before removing hi boot a relocating her knee before grabbing his bag and heading home with a cloth on his wound.

As he reached his place, he was greeted with a very pissed off Skittles "why did you beat up my friend for no reason?!" She demanded.

"Oh you mean Birdy who roared and bullied Shy?" He asked.

"Gilda would never do that, she said you attacked her for no reason.... I though you were a decent guy, but your just a worthless stallion" she said shaking her head.

"Did you ask any other person in the market?" He asked annoyed.

"Why the buck should I? She said you attacked her and she never lies to me." She said moving forward and poking him in the chest "I feel sorry for the mares who are with you as they were deceived by you, and I have already told them that and they are at the library now," she said before taking flight. "You are pathetic" she said flying away, leaving him alone causing him to sigh before looking at his place and heading off to the moon pool.

Upon arriving, Jason scooped some of the water up in a cup from his bag before pouring it on his face, and just like the two nights before, his would healed as he went and sat against a tree, nearby was a rose bush, where Jason buried the Overlord. He then looked at the pool as he felt his phone go off, as he checked it, he found that it had dozens of missed calls, voice messages and texts from the mares, most were calling him a dick "well shit, the believe a fucking Griffion who is a botch rather then their friend.... I guess I shouldn't have dislocated and relocate her knee, but I wouldn't have had to if she got my initial message.... Fuck it," he said before turning off his phone and looking up at the slightly cloudy sky, it was a decent day, he had completed all his jobs before lunch only to have to deal with this bullshit. As he sat there, he noticed a faint sobbing coming from nearby, which he got up to investigate, finding Birdy sitting not far from him with a bit of blood running down from her jaw, he sighed before scooping up a cup of water before walking over and gently taking her head.

"What the Buck are you doing Dweeb?" She asked slightly nervous as she looked at the man before he poured some of the water on her beak and the rest on her knee which both glowed. "The pain, it's gone.... How? Why?" She asked confused before he sat next to her and explained the properties of the moon pool and for her to keep it secret.

"For why, well it's really the fact that I went overboard" he said sighing.

"No you were just protecting your mate, it caught me off guard really, and the fact that your quite strong" she said looking at him then forward before sighing. "I'm sorry for turning your mates against you" she added making him chuckle.

"If they really didn't trust me that much then what was the point of having a relationship with them, like this is one f te reasons you don't go out with someone you just meet" he said leaning back until he laid down.

"Yea... I guess, I've never been in one really, just one night stands" she said laying down next to him.

"Really, have you ever had a crush?" He asked her.

"I did until today, when she chose her friends over we best friend" she said.

"So what, she I only allowed to have one best friend?" He asked.

"No she can have as many as she likes it's just that.... It's so frustrating to see her spent time with other mares and build up relations with them an..." She wa saying before Jason interrupted.

"Your scared of being alone" he said gaining her attention "you were bullied through out your schooling life and your only friend that you barely see has gained new friends that she hangs out with more and talks about all the time, you just want her back the old way but that's impossible and you don't know how to work with the current version so you just gave up on her" he said.

"Yea... Did that happen to you?" He asked.

"No it happened to my baby brother, but I have a way to help, you compromise and show her what she really mean to you and the main thing is apologise." He said making her sigh and sit up .

"Okay I'll do that now, I'm can you come with me?" She asked.

"Unfortunately I may not be welcome back I Ponyville so you will have to so this by yourself, but hey if it doesn't work, you can just come back here and I'll be your friend" he said making her smile an give him a hug.

"Thank you, sorry about the scar a my name is Gilda." She said.

"No worries I'm Jason and besides it looks cool " he chuckled which she join in with.

"Okay well I'll be back to tell you how it went" she said before flying off and he sighed again as she left before plugging his head phones in and playing music from his iPod as he sat up , crossed his legs and relaxed to meditate like his 'father' asked him to, as he did, he slowly felt tingling around his skin, the longer he kept himself relaxed, the stronger the feeling until a sudden pain courses through his entire body as the tingling stopped and something pierced his body, when he opened his eyes he didn't see any damage or anything on him 'was that my body absorbing magic?' He thought before he returned to meditating, except this time there wasn't a tingling sensation, just a warm full feeling making him open his eyes and raise an eyebrow, he rose to his feet and looked around for something. 'Okay so from what I have seen, telekinesis is the basic' he thought before finding a rock and focusing on it with his hand out stretched, it didn't work at first but over the next few hours he managed to get the gist of it master it in a way, well until he accidentally sent the rock flying off into the forest "well shit" he muttered before returning to his spot against a tree and checked his phone "where is Gilda it's been four hours" he said.

"So this is where you are?" A familiar voice asked.

"Come to tell me I'm a dick in person Berry?" He asked as she walked over to him with a apologetic look.

"I'm sorry I just thought tha... "

"That I was like you ex and instead of coming to see me to confirm it with AJ, you decided that I wasn't worth the effort" he growled causing her ears to fall against her head as she looked down.

"I'm sorry I... I just thought that you were like the rest and I bucked up which I have realised so please give me a chance" she said as Jason got to his feet and grabbed his bag causing her to approach him and step in front of him. "Please"

" your so lucky that I'm a nice guy" he said before she hugged him and began nuzzling him "okay okay, I get it, now let's head home." He said as she grabbed his Han in hers as she lead them home to find the star sisters, Luna, the mane 6, Gilda, Celestia and Moon all standing out the front talking, they failed to notice Berry and Jason as the two entered his house, Berry left Jason in his room to talk to the others as he went to clean himself up before laying in bed to find Snow still asleep under the blanket, "did you move at all today?" He asked softly as she simply yawned and cuddled up to him as he smiled before letting sleep take him.
