Author's Note

Alight, getting into a bit of sexy time and a bit of apocalypse time with this one. Not really cloppy, but just a bit of discussion of a more adult nature regarding being upfront and honest with your partners.


Chapter 21

The new school year, our little group’s senior year, had started and plans were being made for after graduation.

"I've been talking to a recruiter." Rainbow Dash said.

"Really?" I said. "A military recruiter?"

"Yep. Just in case I don't get a scholarship for sports. Plus, it would be good to have something that could be a career that will last me a while." She replied.

I sat back and nodded. If things had worked out differently during my time in I would have stuck around and done a full twenty years and retired. But bad leadership killed that. By the time I was due to re-up, I was done with the bullshit.

"Are you sure Darling?" Rarity asked. "That is quite the commitment."

"I can handle it Rares." Dash replied.

"But won't that be dangerous?" Fluttershy asked, concern in her voice.

"Depends upon the career field she goes into." I replied, the girls all turning to look at me. I cleared my throat and sat up.

"Career fields like admin and personnel are rarely in the line of fire unless they are called upon to augment the combat arms, but that doesn't happen too often. Mostly they would be used for extra security of the less critical areas freeing up the mainline combat troops." I began. "Medical corps would be a crapshoot. You could be assigned to a rear echelon hospital with no risk outside of a pissed off patient. Or you could be with a C.A.S.H. unit and be close to the front or an aeromedical evac unit or you could be the field medic assigned to a squad to keep the wounded alive until dustoff gets there. Same with transportation. You could be stuck on base all the time or you could be going outside the wire to do convoys. Of course there is combat arms which includes military police, infantry, armor, and field artillery. Then you have special operations. They are the tip of the spear for any military. Usually doing their level best to get in and out with no friendly casualties and as little evidence that they were even there." I finished.

"What about the Air Force?" Dash asked.

"Mostly the same. Security Forces are their MPs, their transportation troops can augment the Army's, there is also EOD, the three Special Operations specialties. And of course the aviation part. But that carries a risk even when at home station. The law of averages and all that. Things happen and parts fail." I explained. "But no job is really safe. There is always some measure of risk."

"That's right!" Pinkie interjected. "Do you know how many times I have burned or cut myself when cooking?"

"This is true. Even sewing can be hazardous. I have stabbed myself many times when hand stitching." Rarity added, showing a bandaged finger.

"Even the book store isn't without risk." Twilight said. "If you lift a boxs wrong you can seriously injure yourself."

"Yup. Even that sushi place I worked in over the summer was dangerous. Maybe more so." Sunset added.

"Well considering that the head chef is one of the few outside Japan that is qualified to prepare puffer fish, that place is a time bomb. One errant slip and the health board will be swooping in." I said with a wry smirk. "Still good sushi though."

"Sure it wasn't just yer waitress there Talisman?" Applejack asked, with a cocky smirk.

I felt my cheeks heat up a bit. "I can't help it that she looked really cute in that uniform."

"It had pockets too!" Sunset said excitedly.

"Thankfully Rarity makes clothes with proper pockets." Twilight said, a complaint she had regarding her old Crystal Prep uniform was a lack of pockets in her blouses and skirts.

I smiled at my two girls and shared a knowing wink with Rarity. Knowing how good Sunset looked in the kimono that she wore when she worked at the sushi restaurant, I had quietly talked to Rarity about having a couple made for both her and Twilight, but of a much higher quality and in colors that matched them both.

The girls were going to be surprised at Christmas this year.

Of course the surprise that I was going to give the pair of them later today after school.


My 18th birthday was coming up in a month, and since I was the youngest out of the three of us, the deal that Sunset and I had made when we first started dating and had explained to Twilight when she joined our, as Sunset put it, herd. (Which caused no small amount of blushing from Twilight when the typical Equestrian relationship dynamic worked) the three of us were waiting for me to turn eighteen before we progressed to a more intimate level of our relationship beyond our three way makeouts and some heavy petting over clothes.

But, I did have a slight problem with the approaching event. Not that I had any doubts about my ability to please the pair of them, but it was more of an issue of size.

And it wasn't lack thereof, it was perhaps an excess of it. I wasn't absolutely massive, but I was definitely at the line between "giving a nice stretch" and "bitch breaker".

Since I had also been very careful about making sure to avoid those awkward moments of being caught naked by either of my girls or any of our friends, because in all honesty I am pretty sure Pinkie would probably want to sample the goods, or at least be a damn good tease about it, poor Fluttershy would probably pass out from shock. It would probably make things awkward with both Applejack and Rainbow Dash. Rarity would probably faint in a dramatic fashion.

For Sunset, it probably wouldn't be a thing since I am a bit smaller than the Equestrian average. I had asked Princess Twilight about that after the bukkake incident, only to find out that Princess Luna was towards the upper end of the scale. Which both terrifies me and makes it so I have to change panties because of how arousing the thought of that monster is.

Twilight, my Twilight that is, would probably retreat behind a scientific method to cover her embarrassment. Which in all honesty is adorable as all hell.

"So Talisman, why did you want me to come over tonight?" Twilight asked after we finished dinner.

"Well, I wanted to give both you and Sunset something and explain the reasoning behind it and only have to do it once." I said as we finished doing the dishes.

"Oh, and does it have anything to do with that package you got a few weeks ago?" Sunset asked. "The one that you panicked and snatched out of my hands when I walked in with it?"

"Yeah it is. Sorry about that by the way, I wanted to have both of you here and I hadn't quite worked out how to explain it." I said. "You two go wait in the living room while I go get them."


"So, here you are." I said as I handed the two hefty boxes to the girls. "Go ahead and open them."

While they were untying the ribbon that kept the rather fancy boxes securely closed, I sat on the recliner next to the couch and observed.

Sunset finished untying her package first and she patiently waited for Twilight to finish.

They both shared a look and opened the boxes.

Their reactions made me test my composure. Twilight immediately slammed the lid shut as her face turned beet red and her glasses actually fogged up.

'Hunh. Never seen that happen before. Gonna have to remember that for later.' I thought to myself.

Sunset however, merely looked at me and raised an eyebrow.

"I do hope you are going to explain the reasoning behind these." She said in a deadpan tone.

I nodded.

"So, you are both aware my birthday is in a few weeks, right?" I asked, getting nods in return.

"Well, one night a few weeks ago, while I was in the shower, I had a thought." I continued before Sunset spoke up.

"A shower thought?" She asked as she leaned over and propped her head against her arm.

"Yes, sometimes I have good ideas while bathing. But back to what I was saying, I made note of something that I should have thought about when we all first got together." I said.

Twilight swallowed down her blush and asked, "What is that Talisman?"

"That, ummm, I might be a little too, endowed for you two on your first time." I said. "So, I figured that it might be best for you to be prepared. So I fudged the year on the website, they sent a mold and I sent it back and then, ta-da~!" I gestured towards the boxes.

"Wait, these are modeled, after you?" Sunset asked.

I nodded. "When I placed the order, I specified that I wanted a half scale and a third scale size as well. That way you can work up to the full thing." I replied.

"But why?" Twilight asked, her hair starting to frazzle.

"Because there are limits to how much the human vagina can stretch at a given time Especially without a lot of prep work. I am a firm believer in foreplay and taking things slow." I replied.

"So you are being a considerate big dicked amazon girlfriend?" Sunset said with a smirk.

I nodded. "And this is by no means anything to pressure you into anything. Either of you." I said looking at both of them. "Compared to what Sunset has probably seen and experienced when she was still in Equestria, I am about average. But for humans, I am towards the upper end of what a woman can take without risking injury."

"Question." Twilight said, even raising her hand cutely, probably as a way to distract herself a bit. "What does this mean on the other side of the portal?" She asked.

I blushed and rubbed the back of my neck. "You mean since I am a canine, well wolf, on the other side?" I asked to confirm what she was meaning.

At her nod, I continued. "Yes, it is correct for the species. Meaning there won't be any quick switches between you two if we go over for a vacation or romantic getaway."

Glancing between the two, there were two different expressions on their faces. First both had confusion then Sunset's face morphed into one of lust that made me glad for the enchanted panties. And then there was Twilight. Confusion, the realization, then a face that would have fit well into any eroge manga. I swear her glasses flashed and that there was a hint of blood coming from her nose.

Sometime I swear that this entire town runs on fucking cartoon logic sometimes and not just Pinkie Pie.

"So, now that I have given you what I wanted to, I am going to give you two some space to think and discuss this if you wish. I will be in the garage working on the car." I said as I stood.


I had been in the garage for about an hour and was in the middle of starting to tear down the motor of the 1970 Chevelle SS that I had acquired as my hunting car.

Celestia and Luna had questioned my choice, but I explained that it is traditional for a hunter to have a classic car with a big trunk space.

Thankfully, Sunset was a pretty good painter and she had agreed to paint the devil's trap on the trunk for me. Her experience with sigils was invaluable as well. There ones that had been put on the inside of all the body panels would make it a damn tank and keep the occupants safe. So car accidents will at most result in scratches in the paint.

I was in the middle of removing the heads when I head the door from the house open.

I turned to look and I see both girls enter the garage.

"Okay, that is just not fair." Twilight said.

I raised an eyebrow at the pair as I leaned on the engine with a wrench in my hand.

"Talisman." Sunset said slowly. "You have to remember what you look like. You are a damn amazon, and here you are wearing a sports bra with coveralls tied around your waist, covered in sweat and grease. I think I speak for both of us, that it is an insanely hot image. You could look like an old school pinup." She explained.

I thought about it for a moment. "I guess you're right. Now, I assume that you came out to do something besides ogle? Though if you didn't feel free to ogle away, I don't mind as long as it is you two." I replied.

With that Sunset walked up to the other side of the engine, stood on her toes and grabbed my face and proceeded to thoroughly snog me.

"Buh?" Was all I got out when she released me before Twilight took her place.

I stared off into space for a few moments after the second snogging before responding.

"Not that I mind the brain stopping kisses, but what was that for?" I asked as my brain slowly kicked back into gear.

"Just for being you. Kind and considerate about how we feel and our boundaries. Granted, your gifts might have been a bit more forward than we have become accustomed to, but we appreciate the spirit in which they were given." Twilight said.

Sunset nodded. "I appreciate the heads up. You have been careful during our cuddle sessions so I never realized how gifted you are in that area." She added.

"I tried to be courteous as I could. Thankfully I usually wake up before you do so before I went and got the enchantments done I was able to vacate the bed in the morning and head to the bathroom." I said.

"So the morning wood thing happens to everyone with a penis?" Twilight said.

"Pretty much. But it is usually more related to needing to relieve one's bladder over being aroused, at least in my case." I explained. "Of course there have been a couple of mornings when I have been the big spoon and a certain little spoon was grinding against me." I said as I looked at Sunset, who whistled and looked around the garage.

Before anyone said anything else, my phone rang. I sighed as I walked over to the bench it was on.

"What was that for?" Sunset asked.

"Only one person in my phone has 'Carry On My Wayward Son' as their ring tone." I explained as I answered the phone.

"Hey Sam. How's things?" I said.

"Not good." A voice that was definitely not Sam's came through the phone.

"Let me guess. Mr. Singer I presume." I replied.

"Got it in one sweetheart." The grizzled old hunter replied.

"I am guessing that the boys are in trouble?" I inquired.

"Considering that Dean made a damn demon deal and it is almost time to collect? Yeah, I would say they are in trouble." Bobby replied, frustration evident in his voice.

"Sam tell you to call me?" I asked.

"Yeah, said you had some kind of knowledge or some shit." Bobby replied.

"I do. But I don't part with it easily because of the fact that I don't want angels and demons on my ass because I fucked up their plans." I replied. "Trust me if I could put a kibosh on this whole armageddon thing, don't you think I would? But I am not putting the people I care about, the people I love, at risk by doing so. I can go full on valkyrie on their asses, but trying to take on heaven and hell at the same time is gonna leave a lot of innocent bodies in my wake. So the best I can do is nudge when and where I can, maybe keep some people alive if I can. But other than that, I can't do much. Call me selfish, but I won't risk my friends' or the lives of the entire world to try and stop what is coming."

"What is coming?" Bobby asked after a moment.

"War. Between Heaven and Hell. The same fight from eons ago resuming." I replied.

"Balls."

"My thoughts exactly." I said.
