"Spike!" Twilight was knocking on the former dragon's home frantically. "Please, Spike, I need your help!" She started knocking again only to find her hoof poking Spike in the chest.

"Twilight? What's up?" Spike got no further—with her hoof on him, his world lurched as Twilight teleported them both back to the castle—the former dragon was left blinking in surprise. "T-Twilight?"

"It's madness!" Pacing around, Twilight's wings were fluffing and trembling as she seemed intent on wearing a track into the soft carpet. "I have to organize a diplomatic event by tonight, some diplomats have already started arriving and I don-"

Not many ponies would put a hoof to the Princess of Friendship's snout, but Spike had earned the right by being family. "Twilight, you know what to say." He grinned at the mare he thought of as his mother. "So say that instead of panicking."

The words centered Twilight's world, her hair seemed to look a little less frazzled and her wings tucked down. "Spike… make a list." Just saying them made the words into an incantation against the panic that had been welling up inside. "Okay, first thing, make sure the castle has enough rooms for everypony coming. Second, food… oh Celestia, some are going to need meat…"

"Okay, got those." Spike's magic was more than a match for the task he used to accomplish with his draconic hands. "Next?"

The plow moved steadily behind Applejack, she had done this kind of heavy work before, but never before had it felt this easy. "So there is a big delegation or whats-it visiting and you need to be a little scarce?" AJ's body burned in pleasure though, a feeling she had come to enjoy greatly over the last few hours of work. "Ah don't get it, what they got against you?"

"I'm a changeling." Gel paced along, letting his wife's movements guide his own. When she stepped, he did too. When she pushed, he pushed with her. "Twilight said some neighbors are a little concerned about the integration of changelings into pony society."

Applejack almost sighed as she reached the end of a row. Turning, her body began to sing in pleasure again and she closed her eyes, basking in the release. Every row so far had been like this. When the twitching subsided, when her mind could focus again, she leaned forward and started walking again. "Ah don't get it… sort of… changelings are ponies, just like everypony else." Each step was agonizing pleasure for the mare, but her endurance and force of will, kept her going. "Besides, this is our country!"

Gel gave Applejack a squeeze around her shoulders, feeling the heavy muscles straining. "Knowing your reputation for honesty makes that all the sweeter to hear." It was, the stallion felt his heart surge knowing that Applejack felt that way. "But that has been a recent change, a lot of the other races will look in and see ponies being overtaken from within." Their chat had brought them to the end of the paddock again and Applejack stepped gladly into the corner.

"Ahhh…" AJ rocked on her hooves after the turn, every muscle sent twitching as she was once more bathed in pleasure. "How many more ta go?" Her voice was breathy, a little light. She didn't open her eyes yet, the bright light might cause more aftershocks.

"Twenty more rows, give or take." Gel gave his wife another squeeze. "You want a break from the shafts?"

"Eeenope." Applejack's grin painted her face as she opened her eyes and started to take her next step. "If'n we can get this done before lunch, there is another paddock needs plowing on the other side o' the farm."

"I love you, Applejack." Gel worked in-step, matching his love's movements hoof-for-hoof.

"Ah can feel that."

"When he starts to drink…" Shining trailed off, the blissful smile on her snout saying more to her wife than any words could. She curled her neck and looked down at her colt, drinking away.

"Relaxing, fulfilling, bonding…" Cadance helped her wife. "You still need to choose a name for him, so we can get his Crystalling planned." She hadn't used 'that' spell at all often, but Cadance felt a great deal of 'fatherly pride' when she saw Shining and their foal.

"Should I really be thinking of names like this?" Shining lifted a hoof up to gently, playfully, pat at her wife's side. "Maybe I should? Maybe it is the perfect time to." Cadance kept her quiet, she had picked Flurry's name, this time it was Shining's turn. "Brave Light?" She looked up to Cadance but found a neutral look. "Don't like it?"

"Shiny, he is your foal, I picked Flurry, remember?" Cadance booped Shining on the nose. "I do like the idea of using some of your father's name."

"Night Amore?" Shining felt a great swell of pride at this name. "Dad's first name, his father's name as his last?" She didn't get any further explaining it, a passionate kiss stealing her attention. "Mmm, you liked that one? Night?" Shining broke the kiss to look down at her foal who, hearing his mother's voice, tilted his little horned-head up. "Yup, I think that is settled." Shining reached a hoof down to rub her foal's cheek. "Night Amore." A flash of intensely blue light had the pink-furred colt suddenly up with his parents, snuggling against them.

"You do know, Shiny, you have to cast the spell this time." Cadance nuzzled at Night's back-end, her nose screwing up a little. "I'll take care of him, you work on it, okay?" It was the sweetest of traps, Shining had no choice.

Moving slowly, Shining Armor rolled from the bed and landed on her hooves. A ruffle of her wings to get them neat was given as she walked toward their private book cabinet. "What was the name of it again?" She looked through the magical tomes, kept up high of course. "Nevermind, found it."

Cadance had little Night Amore off and on his back. While she worked on changing the colt's diaper, she watched her wife prepare the spell. "Who are we going to invite this time?"

"Close family, some friends." Shining had a small slip of paper out and was writing on it with a quill. "Twi and her lot, Mom, Dad, and Velvet of course." She wrote the words out with her own magic, working the ink into the paper sparingly. "Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. Muffins and Rainbow…"

"Spike. I hear he has a little family of his own now, best add them all." Cadance always seemed to know matters of the heart, intimately, from nearly across the world—it sometimes had Shining confused, but usually she just accepted it. "Sunset and Mademoiselle. What about Starlight?"

"Starlight?" Shining tilted her head away from the spell-book to look at her wife. "For Sunburst?" Her eyes narrowed, she had the sinking feeling her wife would totally use a Crystalling to set up two lovers. "No. She can be covered in Twilight's invite… oh, all of Twily's friends too, that catches her nicely and doesn't make it quite so obvious." Shining Armor stared through the innocent gaze in her wife's eyes.

"When did you get so sneaky?" Cadance lobbed the dirty diaper for a special, magically cleaned bin, then started fitting Night with a new one. "It is Gel's influence." The words were said without heat and, as far as Cadance was concerned, if it was his fault then she couldn't fault the outcome.

"Him?" Shining's disdain for her sister's chosen stallion was, even to her ears, a little childish. "I don't know why, I just… he is a nice enough stallion, and he takes care of Twily like she should be taken care of. But I don't like him."

"Is that a problem for the Crystalling?" Cadance pulled the new diaper into place, securing it with a special spell. "I hardly think we can invite your sister but not Gel."

"No, there will be enough going on that I don't think we will get under each other's fur." Shining set the folded piece of paper down, then wrote on the back of it the names it needed to go to. Focusing on the spell, she felt her magic draw hard, the powerful channeling needed coming from her easier than it would normally. The little slip of paper burned up in magical fire, before a mass of huge snowflakes formed and suddenly flew away.

Twilight was on to her fifth list when she felt a tingle in her senses. "Spike… hold on." She lifted her head and looked around before a radiant smile broke her lips. "Spike! It's another invitation! Shining must have had his… her, foal!"

List forgotten, both Twilight and Spike bolted out the door, colliding with Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. "Crystalling invitation?" Celestia, her belly showing quite some swell now, looked like a filly as she pranced from hoof to hoof.

"Yup!" Twilight started bouncing too and the pair took off together, galloping through the castle toward where they felt pulled.

"We better follow." Luna gave a lop-sided grin to Spike and the stallion felt an odd vibe from the princess.

"Uh… yeah, I guess." Spike gestured, as was his Code, for Luna to go first. When he moved up to follow her, he got an odd smell and then saw the strangest thing ever. Not only was Luna smelling like a very happy stallion—something Spike now had intimate knowledge about—but she had a huge shaft, looking a little limp and deflated, hanging down between her back legs. "Uh… um…" He had no idea where he could go that would steer the conversation into safe territory.

"Why are you hanging back there, Spike, you can walk beside a princess, with the amount of times you have saved Equestria." Luna looked back at the former dragon.

"Penis!" Spike blurted, immediately halting and covering his snout with both hooves. "Uh, I mean big shaft!" The unicorn had turned red, but not just a blush, it was more like he had changed fur with Big Mac. "Cock…" He gave up on talking.

Luna blinked a few times, watching Spike the Brave for any more outbursts. "What is a tree made out of, Spike?" She grinned wide, the smile likely wider than Cerberus after getting a three-ton bone to chew on.

"W-W-Woody!" Spike actually giggled, he couldn't believe this. He was a grown stallion, this shouldn't affect him, or shock him, so much!

"Good, and what type of bird knocks on the wood?"

"P-Pecker!" It was a spell, it had to be. Spike was trapped by the Princess of the Night and he couldn't seem to stop answering her questions. Some kind of mind-control, for sure!

Luna lifted a hoof up to rustle Spike's mane a little. "Good, and one last one. What does Tia like up her butt? Oh, he's gone." Luna looked at the green-furred unicorn. "When did he learn that teleport spell? Just as I was having so much fun, too."

"Twilight!" Rarity walked into the castle, a dress hanging from one of her arms. "Twilight, darling! I have the dress you ordered!"

"Oh, some dog left bitch off chain?" The words carried the stench of superiority and a male who clearly felt much of himself. "Maybe I put a collar on you, since owner gave you up…"

Rarity spun around and was looking at a well-dressed diamond dog. "Are you addressing me?" The tone carried all kinds of warnings that, to anypony that knew Rarity, would inspire 'ducking', 'running', and 'seeking cover'.

"No other bitches in here." The diamond dog sneered at Rarity. "Come on, pony-bitch, follow me and I put collar on you, take you home."

Backing up from the rude canine, Rarity looked around for help and felt her heart soar. "Sunset! Darling, please…"

Sunset trotted over, her eyes flicking to check that there was little natural light in the room. With her chef uniform on her stained fur was mostly covered. "What's the matter, Rarity?"

"This none your business!" The diamond dog spun around and glared at Sunset. "I taking my own citizen to task for… negligence."

Hating where things seemed to be going, Rarity shook her head. "I am not your anything, please lea-" she got no further as the diamond dog reached out and grabbed her forearm, his other arm pulling back as he made a fist. Time seemed to slow down in the room, a whole lot of things happened at once.

Rarity fainted clean away.

Sunset, fangs flashing, dived forward.

Gold magic wrapped tightly around the diamond dog, pulling him free of Rarity and casting him into a waiting purple ball of magic.

"Sunset!" Maddie moved faster than either princess could see, had one leg and a wing around Sunset, holding her back. "My filly, calm down!"

"This is your home, Princess Twilight Sparkle." Celestia recognized the male diamond dog, she had heard of what happened to Rarity, but now this was even more pressure. "What are we to do?"

"By… by law we must hold a trial." Twilight blinked and let go of her force bubble.

"That bitch escaped my kingdom! She my property!"

Author's Note

The seats rattled, trembling under the assault of the monstrous speaker stacks. Bass drivers seem to move inches at a time. The music dropped in intensity and a white unicorn mare with electric-blue mane tilted her glasses and looked up. "Sup? So, somepony asked about the entertainment this week. I had only planned the usual, but a letter appeared on our table," she gestured to a dark-colored earth pony, "that Twi totally needs some help. So it's a rave every night."

"That, is not what she asked for Vinny and you know it." Octavia Melody trotted up to her wife and bopped her on the head. "She just wants some quiet music, to accompany anypony who wants to relax."

Vinyl dropped her shades back down onto her nose. "Yeah right, we are going to blow the doors off that place!" The unicorn's horn had lit again and the music rapidly became much louder than anypony could hope to speak over.

So I do this "Ask x" thing, x can be any pony within the story. You can ask them anything and ~~I~~ they will definitely hopefully reply. Keep the questions appropriate to the age-rating of the stories and of course, ~~I~~ They will answer the best question(s) in the author notes of the next chapter. The more votes a comment has the more likely I will get it to the right pony to answer, try and keep it to one answer per post! ~~I~~ They will pick one question per chapter.
