Bright and burning.

The most torturous object known to mankind. One that makes you regret many life choices, and even some friendships.

The sun.

I awoke with a grimace at the sun shining Directly into my eyes. I grumbled as I turned to move out of its glare. Or at least, I tried. I found myself not covered with Pinkie or Luna, but Celestia. My eyebrow cocked upwards at her sleeping frame on my own. My entire body underneath hers, except my head and neck. I will admit though, she makes a damn good blanket. That, and her snoring is absolutely adorable! She does this cute little 'Fbbtt' after each breath.

I don't think I have it in me to wake her up. That would require energy, and, oh, did I mention?

Ow..

I feel like I got stabbed with a jackhammer! And then somebody turned it on.. Oh well, that's what I get for being cocky and all. I looked to Celestia and realized something. The sun was shinning in her face, more than my own. It was almost like the sun was trying to wake her up-

"Tia, will you wake up and-" Luna's voice called from the door. Oh, I'm in a hospital. Fuck me, how much blood did I lose? Upon seeing me, her face lit up in a smile, as she walked over and gently planted a kiss on my lips. "Good morning, how do you feel?" She asked softly, as she gently rolled her sister to the wall side of the bed. Celestia plopped against the wall, belly up. Her legs held up in the air lightly as she snored away, her head resting near my own. Luna hopped up on the bed, and laid down on top of me. A quick scowl on her face, as she flashed her horn and the shade came down to block the sun. She rested her head down on her hooves looking in my direction.

"Comfy?" I chuckled. My response was a quick peck on the lips again, as she mumbled out a 'yes'. She seemed ready to fall asleep too.

Oh! Please tell me I actually get to relax for once! Since I got here, Its been nothing but stupid bullshit day in and day out. I was tired, both physically and mentally. I let out a deep, relaxed breath.

"Tell me you have nothing to do today." I said, as I wiggled out an arm from under Luna. I then proceeded to cup the side of her face, and look her in the eyes. "Cause I could do this all day." I made my point by giving her another kiss. She leaned back from the kiss, a content smile on her face.

"We haven't had any time to ourselves yet." She murmured gently into my ear, as she lay her head down fully, eyes closed.

"I know. I'm sorry." I apologized as I ran a hand through her mane slowly. My other hand reaching out from under Luna to hook around Celestia's neck. The mare had been pawing at the wall, as her head didn't have a pillow. She adjusted herself slightly as she snuggled my arm like a small body pillow. Even though my arm was a bit twisted, I could deal with it. My hand rested on her chest, as her chin pushed into my neck. Luna herself moved so that her own head nestled into my other shoulder.

We were almost there, I was missing something though.. Oh I know!

"I sure do hope Pinkie doesn't hate me for not wanting a 'Get Better' party." I said in a slight whisper. My whisper was met by another, similar whisper.

"Why?!" As Pinkie jumped from under the bed. I chuckled as she looked at me with hurt in her eyes. "And why are we whispering?" She cocked her head to the side. I motioned for her to come closer, so she leaned in slightly. I grabbed her by wrapping my arm around her barrel and lifting her up. An awkward move when you can't use your body as a counterweight, but meh. Pinkie 'Eep'ed in surprise, as she was lifted and placed next to my side. She looked to Celestia, and Luna, in their respective positions, before looking me in the eyes. Her own full of an emotion I never think I'll stop liking.

Happiness

She was so happy, that she lunged at me and latched her lips to my own in a small chaste kiss. When she leaned back, she had a lovely smile on her face.

"Thanks Hazie.." She whispered, as she lay down on the opposite side as Celestia. Curled into my side, as I pulled her closer with my free arm, her head resting next to Luna's own. Luna cracked an eye open, and in a flash of movement, gave Pinkie a quick peck on the lips, before going back to her spot. Pinkie, though flushed, limply pushed closer to Luna.

I don't know how we did it, but we all managed a simultaneous sigh of content. Yes, that includes the sleeping Celestia as well. I smiled.

It felt like we were a family.

I was happy.

----That Night----

I was woken up by the slight movement on my chest. I opened my eyes to see Luna in the process of looking around, groggy eyes and all. I looked around myself, and noted the dark sky from the lack of sunlight beaming in the other window. I couldn't help myself.

"Good morning, sleep well?" I asked. Luna's face scrunched as she held in a laugh, as she bopped me lightly on the nose.

"I did, however, this was what I was trying to not let happen." She sighed lightly. "I came in here to wake up Tia, and instead, you managed to even get Pinkie in here with us." She nodded to Pinkies sleeping form. Who was now curled around my head, breathing softly in my ear. My movements caused my hat to tickle her, and she giggled. All the talking had apparently woken the heavy sleeper of the group. Celestia still lay, with her hooves in the air as well. She gently smacked her lips as she stretched her legs into the air, letting out a cute yawn. Her eyes cracked open slightly as she started to turn over to get up.

"What's Everypony doing here?" She asked, her voice cracking slightly, as most do when just waking up. I laughed, as Luna smirked. The giggling from behind me got louder, as Pinkie sat up with the girls and smiled.

"Well," I started, "I saw you sleeping on me yesterday." At this Celestia flushed a deep red, but nodded for me to continue. "When Luna came in to wake you up, she found me awake. We shared a-" My eyes widened slowly, as I remembered something. "Before I forget." I interrupted myself, as I leaned in towards Luna, and gave her a gentle, good morning kiss, which was returned. I turned to Pinkie, and latched onto her lips with my own for Her good morning kiss, which was happily returned, with a bit of tongue.. Ok, I accept. Finally I turned to Celestia, who was still red, but smiling, as she knew she was next. I leaned in and lightly bit her lower lip. She gasped, and I went in for the kill. After a few seconds of tongue fighting, I split us apart, and watched her face as she sighed happily. Each of the mares had a smile on their face.

"If that's how I wake up, I may have to sleep with you more often-" Celestia glanced at Luna as if to get permission for something, a gently nod with rolled eyes was her response. "-Sweetie." She breathed out heavily. Like she had been dying to call me that for a while. I smiled a big toothy grin. I loved pet-names.

"Yes, Me Two." Luna smirked, as she nodded again. I didn't have to see it, I felt the grin from Pinkie, as she hopped into my line of sight with a full blown Pinkie smile. As she did so, Luna nodded once again to Celestia, who had just calmed down. Celestia let out a warm smile, as she looked to me.

I feel like I missed something.. Why were all Three of them smiling? Luna was the first to speak.

"We, mainly my sister, were waiting to see if you would be okay with somepony other than myself, calling you a pet-name." Luna said, as she got close to my face.

"Yes, I wasn't sure how you would react. Luna was your first after all. But since you accepted it." Celestia stated, as she closed in on the right.

"We've decided to all call you the same pet-name from here on out!" Pinkie blurted out, as she made for my left.

In an instant I was kissed on my left cheek, my right cheek, and my lips, at the same time. They pushed me back down into a laying position, as they all backed off and looked down at me.

"~Honey~" They all called out huskily. They even had The Look in their eyes..

I'm pretty sure I had the biggest shit eating grin on my face for the rest of the night.

----Later on that Night----

Well then, I guess I shouldn't be surprised. It wasn't exactly as late as I thought it was. Apparently, the sun and moon here rely entirely on if the sisters do their rounds. That saying, the sun had went down on its own after not being moved from its starting position for hours. The moon hadn't been up either so there was no guessing what time it actually was.. Both Celestia and Luna both told me that they knew what time it was, but I had my doubts. It was currently only Seven at night, and we had all gotten up about an hour ago. Pinkie went up in smoke as she made her way back to Ponyville, a kiss goodbye for all of us. And the two sisters where both in a study hall, prepping a speech for tomorrow.

I guess finding a way to explain to the masses that they failed to move the sun and moon because 'they forgot' is harder than you'd think. Good luck to them. I currently found myself in Ponyville. Since I found myself with nothing to do, I remembered a small promise I made a bit ago. I walked up to the front door, and brushed some dust from my shirt as I knocked. A cute out-cry called from inside.

"I'll get it Mommy!" I smiled at the voice, and got on my knee ready for what was to come.

"Who's there?" The small voice called out from behind the door. I chuckled a bit.

"Just a friend." I stated. I could almost hear the gears in her head turning in the silence. The door cracked open slightly, a lone golden colored eye peeked through it. In an instant, the door was ripped open, and a small grey blur slammed into my chest.

"Hazama's here! Hazama's here!" Dinky started repeating, as she started crawling all over me like a spider. I laughed, as I snatched her into a hug, gently rubbing the top of her head.

"Hi Dinky, how have you been?" I smiled, as she murmured into my petting.

"Mrr.. I've been fine." She leaned out of my touch, and jumped down to the ground. "Momma will be so happy to see you!" She exclaimed as she ran into the house full tilt. "Momma!" I heard her call out as she ran around a corner. I walked into the house, and shut the door behind me. As I turned around, I heard a rustle coming from around the corner. When I looked, all I saw was Dinky, not a single sign of Ditzy. I cocked my head to the side and looked to Dinky.

"Where's your mother?" I said as I kneeled down to her level.

"Oh, Momma will be back soon, she went upstairs." Ditzy leant down and picked something in her mouth. "Wanna pway?" She asked through the box. I looked, and it was 'Clue'. Huh, I wasn't expecting such a game from this hyper little filly. I took the box and looked at the back. Yup, it was exactly the same only with Pony related graphics.

"Sure thing, just so you know, I'm the king of Clue!" I boasted, a small smirk on my face as the filly started setting up the game, her tail wagging happily behind her.

---Five Minutes Later---

"No fair!" I pouted. "You totally cheated!" My pout turned to a grin, as I dove for the filly over the game board. I flipped her over onto her back and blew a raspberry into her stomach. Her laughter was music to my ears. Suddenly she stopped laughing and looked me in the eyes, her own morphing to a look I had only heard of.

"No!" I recoiled back as if struck, a hand held over my heart, and the other held over my eyes. "Not 'The Puppy Eyes'! It my one true weakness!" I heard the filly hold back a chuckle, as she deepened her stare, eyes starting to water, and her lip quivered ever so slightly. I made an effort to show myself peeking out, only to throw myself onto the couch behind me. I let my eyes close slowly, as I talked through held breaths. "Too... Much... Cuteness!" I groan out as I lay limp on the couch, holding my breath and lolling out a tongue for dramatic effect. The sounds of the filly laughing again was all I needed, so I cracked open my eyed slowly. I found her not in front of me, but I felt her clinging to the back of the couch, where I couldn't see her. "Is.. Is she gone?" I play whispered.

"Gotcha!" The filly yelled as she jumped to my chest and glared playfully at me. A few seconds of me looking fearfully into her eyes, and we both broke out into a fit of laughter. I rolled around on the couch, holding my stomach, while she held onto my neck, flailing her legs in her own peal of laughter.

After everything cooled down, I grabbed the filly and held her up to my face, she was smiling a big goofy grin. The occasional tear came from her eyes from all the laughing she just did, as she sniffed them back with a chuckle. I gently kissed her cheek and put her down as she giggled.

"Any other games you wanna play?" I asked the little filly with a grin. Dinky looked at me with wonder in her eyes as she nodded vigorously.

"I'll be right back!" She called out as she zipped up the stairs. I chuckled at her antics, as I started to put away the game that was left on the ground.

"Your amazing with foals.." The soft voice from behind me startled me a bit, but I quickly smiled as I turned around.

"Ah, its nothing-" I was stopped cold by the mare in front of me. Gone was the ragged looking Ditzy Doo that had crashed into everything when I first met her. Now stood before me was a slightly flushed, yet beautiful mare that wore a muffin themed bow atop her head, matched by the tan dress that hugged her body, the dress barely touched the floor. On her face she wore a small bit of makeup to bring out her eyes. Said eyes were now behind a small pair of glasses.

"Wow.." I muttered. Apparently loud enough for her to hear, since she flushed a bit more, and started to play with the hem of her dress with a hoof, as she looked down slightly. I got up from the floor, and walked over to her. I cupped her chin in my hand. "You look beautiful Ditzy." I said with as much sincerity as I could muster, while looking into her eyes.

And suddenly- PAIN

It literally felt like I stuck my hand in lava! The hand that didn't touch Ditzy was burning, I let go of her chin in an instant, and grabbed my own wrist with a hiss of pain. It was glowing, like it did when it was the sisters first placed that seal on- Right.. So this is what I have to deal with when a new Herd member is introduced? Why the hell is it so painful?! Is that a rainbow?

"Why the FUCK is there Harmony Magic running through our body?!" I heard Terumi hiss out. "Are you Trying to kill us?!" he growled.

"Oh, its not that bad, what harm could come from it?" I asked lightly, already acclimating to the burning, even as it faded away.

"Other than liquefying your insides, no." The snarky response came from Nightmare. "If you remember, the body you have is made for a being of Chaos. So Harmony magic is as dangerous to you, as fire is the grass. Nightmare stated.

"...Right, have to find a way around that then." I grumbled as I shut off the link.

My attention was brought to the scared look on Ditzy's face, as she gently caressed my face with a hoof.

"Are you okay?" She asked quietly.

"Yeah, sorry about that." I shook out the last vestiges of pain from my hand, and lifted it to show the still glowing symbol on my hand. "This blasted thing burns like Tartarus when I come into Physical contact with somepony who wants to be apart of my Herd." I stated with a grin. Her face went from scared, to understanding. Then from understanding to embarrassed as she looked down. She then looked back up at me, a fierce look into her eyes, as she jumped into my arms. My vision was filled with Ditzy's face as she captured my lips with her own. Her quivering lips were signs of how nervous she was. I reassured her with a simple motion, I put my hand on her cheek and rubbed it with my thumb, as I returned the kiss gently. When we parted ways, Ditzy's face was one of pure bliss. She even let out a happy sigh.

"Eeek!" A small cry came from behind us, as we turned to see Dinkie standing there, the game she had gone to get forgotten on the ground. Her face was one of surprise yet happy at the same time. She started hopping around the room.

"I'm getting a new Daddy! I'm getting a new Daddy!" She called out happily. I felt Ditzy inhale sharply as she looked to me suddenly. I smiled as I turned to her. So the little filly wants a new dad, I'll gladly take that role!

I nodded to Ditzy with a smile, as she leaned in close for a hug, and another quick peck. A small stream of tears dripped down her muzzle as she smiled in happiness. I drew back slightly, and wiped away her tears for her with a happy smile on my face.

"What do you say we go have that dinner now?" I asked, both girls looked at each other, and then back to me. The little filly jumped into the air, and crowed out a mighty, "Yes!" As her mom simply nodded as she leaned on my shoulder, a happy smile still on her face.

Well now, All I have to do is explain this to the other girls..

They'll understand.. Right?

Author's Note

For the record, This chapter was supposed to be short. Just a relaxing moment for the group.
Instead, I found myself enjoying the moment with Dinky and Ditzy far too much to let it go as a quick date.
Now, I'm just gonna throw this out here, if their is anybody out there that would be willing to help me, by writing out some Lemons, please, PM me. I suck at them, but I love them.. When they're well written, but I digress.
You guys will LOVE the next chapter
