It was a Friday afternoon in Canterlot when Twilight Velvet was finishing getting the house cleaned and had begun to cook supper as soon Night Light would be getting home from work. She was hoping that the night ahead would be a special night so she decided to cook hay steak and fries. While she was not overly fond of hay steak, she figured that if she fixed him is favorite meal, that perhaps he would be more in the mood.

An hour passed and Night Light finally got home. As was customary they rushed to one another and kissed in a tight embrace. Night Light was smelling the air and liked the scent, "Mmmm....it smells good in here!"

*Velvet replied, "Thanks, I decided since it was Friday night that I would cook you your favorite."

Night Light knew that his wife was up to something as normally he has to beg her to cook his favorite. He asked, "Honey, normally I have to beg you to cook this for me. Why did you just fix this? Is there something special going on?"

Velvet gave him a seductive smile, "Oh nothing in particular, I just want you to have a full stomach for tonight."

Night Light knew what she was talking about. While he could never admit it, he wasn't really in the mood for that so he lied, "Oh I see what you're thinking about! Don't worry sweetie, I'll be ready!"

Twenty minutes later supper was ready and Velvet took it into the dining room and set it on the table. Night Light licked his chops at the meal that she had put in front of him. Not only had she made his favorite meal, the hay steak was much larger than normal. He said, "Wow, this steak is huge!" He then began to laugh, "You must really want me to be ready tonight."

Velvet smiled, "Yes, I do want you ready for tonight." Her smile changed to a slight look of disapproval as she continued, "Besides, I don't want you running out of gas like you did last time."

Night Light sighed, "I know, I know, you don't need to remind me about that."

After eating supper Velvet decided they should watch a romantic movie as she wanted to make sure that her husband would be in the mood. While she quickly got absorbed in it, Night Light was no fan of romantic movies so his mind began to wander thinking about all the things he would rather be doing than watching the movie.

He let out a yawn which quickly brought out a negative response from his wife, "Honey, are you even paying attention to this movie or is your mind wandering like it always does?"

Night Light was used to her demeanor so this did not bother him any. He replied, "Yeah, I've been paying attention to this. I'm just a tad bit tired after a long day at work."

Velvet knew it was a lie since he wasn't tired when he got home. She grunted, "Well you sure weren't tired when you got home and I would think that steak I cooked for you would have given you more than enough energy." She gave him a glare and continued, "You are going to be ready for tonight, aren't you?"

He replied, "Yeah, of course I will."

Velvet sighed, "Well you better be."

After finishing the movie it was time to go to bed. While Velvet headed to the bedroom to get ready, Night Light headed to the bathroom. He looked in the mirror and said to himself, "Alright Night Light, let's just give her what she wants and then hopefully get some sleep. Hopefully she won't want too much of it."

As he headed in the bedroom he found his wife laying on the bed wearing nothing but a seductive smile. She motioned for him to come to bed and said, "Come here big boy! Mama's waiting!"

In the past this would have been Night Light's dream come true but in recent months he just didn't get as excited for it anymore but knew how angry Velvet would be if he didn't give her what she wanted. As he undressed Velvet couldn't help but notice something when he took his pants off. Unlike he always was in the past, him seeing her naked did not make him hard. She gave him a look of concern and asked, "Honey, what is wrong? Normally you are already ready just seeing me like this."

Night Light sighed, "I don't know what's wrong, it seems like I just can't get it up as easily as I used to."

Once Night Light was completely undressed Velvet yanked his arm, pulled him into bed and got on top of him. She lowered her enormous breasts into his face and ordered, "Suck on my girls, that always got you in the mood."

As she lowered her breasts down Night Light got out from under her which sent her into a rage. "What the hay is the matter with you? You used to love to do that, you used to love to get intimate."

Finally Night Light decided to tell the truth. He sighed, "Look, I'm just not in the mood tonight." He then gave her a half-smile and continued, "There's always tomorrow night."

Velvet gave him a scowl and asked, "Oh and why aren't you in the mood?"

Night Light replied, "Well me and my friends are going to the buckball game tomorrow and I can't wait to see us beat those showboats from Appaloosa."

This caused Velvet to go into a rage. She walked over to him and smacked him. She screamed, "Oh, so you're there fantasizing over a stupid buckball game when here I am, ready to give you a wonderful time?"

Night Light knew what a volatile temper she had but just didn't feel like cowering down and caving in like he usually does. He yelled, "I'm not fantasizing, I'm simply looking forward to it." He raised his voice and continued, "Is it wrong for me to look forward to something I love? Is it a crime for me to not be in the mood?"

This caused Velvet to become angrier than she had ever been. She slugged Night Light so hard she knocked him to the ground and yelled, "You know what, forget it!" She stormed to her closet and continued, "I can't even stand to look at you right now so I'm going out."

He saw her putting on the tight outfit she usually puts on when she goes to see Celestia and yelled, "Oh, so you're going to go buck Celestia huh?"

Velvet was so angry that she lit up her horn and fired energy at her husband, "So what if I am? At least she will always give me the love and attention I need." Her yell turned into more of a sneer, "And at least her horn never goes limp!"

For the first time in his life he lit his horn up in anger and continued, "Oh, so Celestia is better than me because of that? So you think horn sex is so much better?"

Velvet again fired energy at him, striking him directly. She yelled, "What does it matter to you? After the game tomorrow you and your friends will probably be having an orgy with the buckball team so why would you care?"

The fact that Velvet would even suggest he was into stallions angered him greatly. He fired energy back at her but missed. He yelled, "I am not like that! Unlike you, I don't go chasing after members of the same sex." His yell became louder as he continued, "I'm surprised you ever got with me to start with! I'm surprised you didn't just marry one of your friends back in the day!"

Velvet mumbled, "Too bad I didn't. At least she wouldn't have put some dumb game ahead of me." She stormed towards the exit and yelled, "You know what, I'm going out for a few days. Maybe by then you'll act like a REAL stallion instead of an eight year old colt obsessed with a dumb game!"

As she was leaving Night Light yelled, "Wait......"

He could not finish his sentence before Velvet slammed the door and headed in the direction of the palace. In their house stood a stunned Night Light. While his wife had been mad at him before, he had never seen her in so much of a rage that she actually struck him with energy before. As he headed back to the bedroom to get some sleep, he was filled with frustration that his wife, despite having a bad temper, would get that angry. All he could do was hope that after she calmed down, that she would come home and things could return to normal.
