Karma gently hummed a tune while placing books in the foals section, a small smile on his lips as he did so. He loved days like these, tranquility being the only word he could think of to describe it. Grabbing a copy of ‘A B C Delight!.’ He slid it into place before standing up, popping his back with a groan. With a look outside he saw the sun was in the middle of the sky, with a few clouds here and there.

‘Another beautiful day.’

With a small yawn, he walked over to a beanbag and flopped down, sighing happily at the feeling of comfort. While it had been a rather busy morning, a rather bad storm having knocked down a load of books, he was glad he had gotten everything back in order. He let his eyes close and just listened to the birds chirping, the sound of hooves on the ground, and breath in hi-.

With a rather loud squeal, the human sprang up and looked at the one who had used his ear as a whistle. The culprit was a pink pony with a good amount of pudge. She had wild, curly hair that was like her fur, only a much darker shade of pink. Her soft body was covered by a yellow shirt that held two large breasts and a skirt that showed meaty thighs and a bubble butt. She was much shorter than other ponies, standing at 6,3, making her almost as short as Karma.

Slowly his look of annoyance shifted to a smile as he shook his head, crossing his arms. “Jeez Pinks, if you wanted to blow me, all you have to do is ask!” The pink party pony giggled, pulling the human into a rather close, tight hug, causing him to sink into her soft body.

“Sorry Karebear, but I’ll leave the sucking to you.” She shot back with a smirk.

The two looked at each other for a second or two before finally bursting out laughing, Pinkie letting Karma out of her grasp.

“So, what can I do for you Pinks?” Karma asked, grabbing a small pile of books and setting them onto a nearby table.

“A lot of things, most would make Big Mac rather angry.” Pinkie giggled. “But I need some help with the bakery, the Cakes are sick and I could use the extra hands.” Karma chuckled, sorting the books into smaller, more organized piles.

“You know I would Pinks, but I have to finish my chores here. If I don’t, I'll procrastinate all day.” He sighed, before rubbing his chin. “How about asking Flutters? She’s pretty good at cooking."

“Hmm...true.” Pinkie rubbed her chin, copying Karma, before nodding. “Okay! I’m off to Flutters! Bye bye!” And with that, as fast as she was there, she was gone. Karma simply shook his head, his eyes scanning over book cover after book cover.

“Let me tear her throat out! I wanna see if she truly is a goddess!”

The voice was like a mix of male and female, the male’s being a beautiful note, and the females a broken clef. The owner would make one think of a feral rat, only there was no fur, and its teeth ranged from needle-like and long to short and hooked. It had nothing covering it’s body, showing a pair of both male and female genitalia between its strange, crooked legs.

“Now now, do relax, in due time, you will be able to...feast.”

The second voice was a lot more calm, though it had almost as much malice in it’s ‘friend’s’ voices. She was a lot taller than her little friend, her buxom body being held onto by cold, impenetrable armour. Her voice, unlike her friends, was cool and calculating, clearly not one who makes mistakes. And promises pain to those who do. The two were in what looked like a once beautiful room, now turned into a war room. But these two only had two soldiers, and they planned to take the whole castle by themselves.

“Bah! I am done waiting! I want to taste her blood, see if it is golden, taste the ichor flow from her veins!” The beast growled once more, it’s teeth bared and saliva dripping from the very thought of the sun goddess’s flesh. The Mare simply shook her head and started to unroll a map, showing the layout of Canterlot Castle.

“Now, you will enter through the plumbing system, using the crystal I made to suck out any magical fields or detectors down there.” She instructed, tossing the creature a dark purple gem. Blade-like fingers caught the gem, etchings already being made into the tough looking jewel. “You will then slip into Celestia’s room...and take her out.”

The creature looked over the crystal, and started to cackle as it’s time was finally here. It’s sole purpose, killing the ruler of the sun.

Karma let out a small snort as he was awoken by his inner clock, the residue of his dream leaving him. With a yawn Karma got off of his beanbag and made his way over to another bookcase, the last one before all the books are back where they should be, he hoped. He had been working none stop, a habit he had never been able to get rid of. And now he was paying for it as drowsiness took over his mind. Little did he know, someone was sneaking up on his, and before he could react two large, red furred arms wrapped around his waist and pulled him into a brick wall of muscle.

He looked up and smiled as he saw the face of his coltfriend. He turned around so he was able to lay his head into the plaid shirt, a sigh of content leaving his lip.

“Overworking yourself again I see.” Big Mac chuckled, and Karma could feel his cheeks turn redder than Mac’s fur.

“N-N...yeah.” He sighed out, and Mac simply let out another chuckle before wrapping an arm around Karma’s waist and lead him out of the library, the light being turned off with their exit. With its owner gone, the library seemed more normal, while in usually had a buzz of energy and joy in it when Karma was there, it no longer had that buzz, that...spark.

Meanwhile, the moon hung high in the air, it’s rays of moonlight shining over buildings. Inside a particularly sweet looking building two mares were cleaning up a messy kitchen, fresh pastries being stored for tomorrow use. The taller, hourglass figured pegasus was gently humming while she placed cupcakes into trays before slipping them into the glass display.

Meanwhile the short, pudgy pony was moving around like lightning, placing cakes into a giant fridge for preservation while a few others went on a metal stand on the counter, to show off the confection. It had been a long day, but they had gotten the job done, Pinkie hugging Fluttershy while thanking her for helping, her head vanishing into the flustered ponies bosom.

“Thank you so so so so so much for the help Fluttershy! I don’t think I could have gotten it done without your help!”

Fluttershy couldn’t help but smile, hugging her friend while nuzzling into her head. “O-Of course Pinkie, I’m happy t-to help when I can.”

“You're the best Shy!”

After a small snack Flutters as making her way to her home, a smile on her lips that brightened the cold, dark night.
