My Little Tactics

Chapter Forty Four: Estrus Escapades End.

Day four of estrus week saw Dustan waking up a bit groggily from his brain keeping him up later then he wanted. The human looked at himself in the mirror as he got ready for the day and gave a solemn swear, if things continued like they were he would, he would allow it. However if Pinkie tried to go even further he would put a stop to it. The Lord of the Everfree knew he couldn’t cross that line because if he did there would be no coming back for either of them. This was also forcing him to look at things a bit closer. How did he feel about Pinkie?

He viewed her as a good friend for sure, funny, weird but in a good way, she always was good to cheer you up and was there if you needed it, her baking was on point with a master, and she knew how to throw a party to every ponies needs, though she was still working on that for him. Chuckling to himself he still had managed to not tell her when his birthday was, at this point it was more of a game for him then it was to keep the info out of her hooves.

Shaking his head as he got off track Dustan looked at his reflection and asked himself a big question: ‘Can you see yourself with Pinkie in the future?’ He stared at the doppelganger for a good long while but no answer came for either positive or negative. Another question came to him after that void of response. ‘Can you see yourself with ANYONE in the future?’ The same as last time and honestly the response was a bit worrying to him. He gave it one last try though he already had a feeling he didn’t like the answer. ‘What can you see for yourself for the future?’

This time his brain did conjure up some thoughts, mostly to do with the castle, training ponies, guards, and…that was it. There were no specifics, there were no goals, no future he had in mind for his little slice of Equestria. This disturbed him more then he wanted to admit however when he tried to think of his future in the human world, his answers were lab rat or some kind of show man using the powers he had gained here to do so but then the faces of the friends he had made over here appeared and those thoughts vanished.

‘I need to find my future. I can’t see it right now but some day right? Will I know my future when I come across it though?’ Those thoughts were for later for sure as it was time for breakfast.

In the dining hall he had a few individuals pop by as they were finishing up their meals to say hello but for the most part he was left alone. Meditation and spell practice were not much better but for a different reason as he had to remind Diamond Tiara to pay attention and try to meditate, but for some reason her eyes kept wondering back to him as if trying to gain…something from him. Deciding to check levels Dustan chuckled to himself as he saw AB and Sweetie had leveled up, making their levels comparable to many of the Elements of Harmony when he had first examined them with Scootaloo topping both of them.

Speaking of the orange filly she strode confidently into the little training area spinning her wooden sword as she was already on two hooves. It was a bit absurd how her level had risen, but then again personal combat training with him must have counted for something and what is more because of the last few days training he noticed her level had increased a few times. When she charged in to attack him her speed was still lacking compared to other job classes but when their swords clashed it surprised them both that when Dustan blocked with his own sword that both their swords shattered.

The clinking of wood against the ground stopped the fight for a moment before Dustan called for some replacement weapons. The training swords were a lot less resilient then the wooden sword that he had given Scoots as a present a while back but that was the point of the training swords to be quickly made and disposable if need be. So seeing that straight blocking wouldn’t work with his sword he relied on his training shield though it was barely holding on any better than the sword. He heard it creak against the blows which if he could feel in that arm he was sure that he would feel it as well.

Backing up Dustan smiled and called out to her. “Honestly Scoots, I think training with you like this doesn’t really help you anymore. You have a good grasp of what it means to fight another knight after all and your own skills.” The filly was about to protest when he grinned “So let’s change it up.” He switched his class. “It’s time for you to fight against something else. You are used to going against another power type, so let’s see you handle a speed type.”

The speed increase from Knight to Ninja was quite big as he started moving around getting used to his speed once more but he knew he could go faster and held back on purpose. The reason became obvious when Scootaloo went to strike at him after getting used to his speed and trying to predict where he would be next. A burst of speed at the last second caused her big issue as she went from nearly hitting him to finding his sword at her throat and confused how it happened.

“Again.” She called out which made him proud to see that she wasn’t giving up. Sadly the results ended up the same again and again and by the end of their training Scootaloo had to ask him. “How am I supposed to hit you if you keep moving that fast. I can’t keep up.”

He booped her nose causing it to scrunch up as Dustan told her. “Right now you are thinking with what you have, while nice and refined now, is very limited. You should think about expanding things. Also instead of trying to chase after me, you should make me come to you.”

That caused her to frown and think about something and then suddenly ran off as if she had the answer heading towards her friends. Regardless of what it was it was time to bathe and like before he brought his clothing in with him except this time was different. He heard the sound of clips and clops from two sets of hooves as it seems like someone was coming to join him in the springs today except they stopped. They came no further then the nook prompting Dustan to try to get out of the water. Problem was that when he did the sound of water running off him caused the twin sets of hooves to gallop away. He was tempted to go chase after them and while nudity was allowed for all species, he still wasn’t about to cross that barrier just yet if ever.

Finishing up his soak Dustan got out and dressed before going to check on paperwork, if it was not within acceptable levels he would work on it some and if it was then he would put it off for later. It was the latter so he went to help with the popcorn and cotton candy before going to set up his equipment. This time when he set up his equipment he brought some extra things with him though he felt guilty for bringing them. Pinkie was waiting for him with a smile on her face but in his chair only having the one in there this time. She knew what she wanted and honestly it scared him a bit but he knew that he did too. Setting up everything, running the wireless speakers the sound tests, visual check, light check, everything was running smoothly.

Everyone got to their seats to watch the show, though when Dustan got to his he felt himself almost tackled as Pinkie wasted no time in starting today. “Can you take off your shirt?”

He almost wanted to ask why but honestly he had been around many shirtless before so it didn’t bother him at all. The party pony seemed to appreciate it though as she practically rubbed her face all over his chest and ran her hooves over his abs. Once she had her fill of that she pressed her chest and barrel against him as she once more started up her movements. There was no uncertainty in either one’s movements as they were both ready for this, hot and heavy.

Well the uncertainty only lasted so long though as the human felt his belt and zipper being undone. “What are you doing Pinkie?”

“Getting your pants off. I want to feel more of your skin.” She said breathing heavily against his neck.

He was of two minds for that, though eventually told her his answer. “Ok, but my boxers stay on.”

“Kay.” Was the only thing she said as both human and pony worked to push his pants down his legs and off him, causing him to kick off his shoes in the process. When she sat back down she gave a pretty loud moan that she muffled against his neck. “Oh this is so much better and your cloths here are so much softer.” She then came up and whispered to his ear. “And I can feel you so much more.” She told him causing his face to grow a bit more red and for him to give out a bit of a moan himself as her lips sealed around his earlobe.

That feeling made him redouble his efforts making his partner voice her appreciation against his ear in a shuddering whimper. She didn’t let go of his ear not that time nor the few times after as she kept sucking and running her tongue along it as her needy sounds kept getting worse. Honestly he was enjoying himself quite a bit but his haze of pleasure cleared quickly as his brain sent out an alert. The button on his boxers was just undone and he was now in her hooves.

Her lips had left his ear and she was staring down at him with a smile on her face. “So that is what you look like. Its different but I like it.”

“Pinkie stop.” It took nearly all of his will power to get those words out and to her credit she did. “I…I have to draw the line there. Going any further is something I can’t do right now.”

“Are you sure?” Her ears canted back as her voice sounded so wanton that he couldn’t help but respond with a throb. “It doesn’t feel like you are sure.”

His voice caught in his throat as she rubbed the frog of her hoof over the tip of him only to watch that pony bring it up and lick the sticky residue that was left behind and shiver. ‘Did…did she just cum from that?!’

“Mmm, nice and salty. So much better than popcorn.” Her body moved to lift up some and he knew what she had planned.

It stopped her as his grip on her marks tightened. “No Pinkie. We either go back to what we were doing or we stop.”

She looked at him and again whimpered with her ears drawn back, but his face was a mask of resolve this time. “Ok.” He shivered as he felt her put him back inside his clothing and button it back up. Once that was done however did Pinkie resume her ride at double the pace of before.

She wasn’t the only one as Dustan bit down on her neck causing her to have to muffle herself against his neck as he also matched her pace. With the limits put in place Dustan’s mind let go and he gave into all his urges that he could even so much so that he moved from the chair and pinned the pony to the ground which apparently was a move that pushed her over the edge rather hard as her movements died down a lot after that one and it was clear that she was just barely avoiding passing out completely.

At the end he was laying atop of her holding her by his hands and the grip with his teeth at her neck, her limbs were noodles as they were limp and splayed out. It was like the first time when he started to do things with her a couple of days ago. She just lay there twitching spasming and giving the occasional whimper. He had kept the spray from that time as well so he used it well in spraying everything off, but this time he didn’t need to go change. The items he felt guilty for this time were an extra set of clothing which he changed into.

“That is a nice look on you.” Pinkie had come back as he was changing; currently wearing nothing but his Hearths Warming day present the pendant from Rainbow Dash. “The nudity not the feather. Though that looks like Dashie’s, oh wait I remember, that is from Hearths Warming right? The one that lets you walk on clouds?”

Seems she was recovering quicker than she did last time. “Yeah, I actually haven’t got a chance to use it to see if it works, but I wear it all the time. No reason not to after all, why risk falling through unexpectedly when you can avoid it right?” He was pulling up his boxers when Pinkie came over and stopped him for a moment.

She tugged down his boxers just enough and kissed his tip causing him to grow weak in the knees for a moment. “Thank you.” Raising up she then hugged him and surprised him. “And thank you.” It was unexpected and warm and he honestly felt his arms wrap around the mare and hug her before she pulled away from the kiss. “Mmm, will have to do that more too.”

Dustan’s brain had taken a vacation at that though it came back when he heard the end theme song of the TMNT playing. “Shit, shit, shit.” Quickly getting the rest of his clothing on he shut down the projection and went to turn on the lights. His guests left with a smile none the wiser at what had gone on in the booth. Heading back inside he found Pinkie was gone but there was an envelope waiting for him.

The envelop had only three words written on it: ‘Open in private.’ Taking his equipment and clothing up to his room Dustan put everything away and looked at the envelop before opening it. Inside clearly taken from the booth was one picture. It was of Pinkie on her back rear legs spread and her front ones holding herself open and written on the margin of the photo was ‘Will be thinking of you so here is something to help you think of me’ with a heart at the end. That was going right into his safe with the envelop with it.

More and more he was thinking this was a mistake, sure estrus didn’t stop the mare inside from being who she was but it put all her desires and wants for sexual gratification to the forefront of her mind above everything else, even worries and concerns they might have. Today was the worst of it too, so it should start to calm down after this right? Dustan really hoped so as more and more it was starting to hurt after it was done and those regrets kept flooding his mind.

Sadly he couldn’t play with the foals that day; turns out a few stallions got into a fight and ended up breaking a few things before they were broken up. He had to sign and cross check on medical bills, make sure to pay out things to cover the damages to the property that he owned and then put up the money to have things fixed for those houses that the stallions were staying in. Because of the shortage of space the local residents agreed to let many stallions into their homes as long as they didn’t go into bedrooms. Magical locks were applied and it worked out, but until those individuals came home he didn’t just want to leave them wrecked so fronted the money himself until the bills were sent out to the proper folks. Photos and such were taken to show the damage and to make sure no one called him on fraud. The Foals understood when he came out near the end to go for his soak about why he couldn’t and though they were disappointed they were still happy to see him, running up to give him hugs and such. It warmed his heart just about as much as the spring warmed his body.

No sound of hooves today, no sounds of anything, just him in the springs. As dinner time approached Dustan made sure to gather his gear, laptop, speakers, clothing, and spray, to make sure he was ready for dinner. Pinkie wasn’t in the booth just yet it seems as that let him set up quickly running through the program the checks everything before going to help with the food. All creatures in their seats, food served as well as snacks, a tray of his own headed to the booth as he dimmed the lights. He was greeted with the bouncy bubbly sight of the pink mare as he set the tray down. It was a waste of food sure as the last couple of days they really had not touched any of it except the drinks.

After he turned the show on, he turned around only to be met with the lips of Pinkie and felt himself tumble backwards onto the ground with her straddling him. “Much better.” She breathed out in relief more then said the words.

His body was definitely eating up the attention he had been lacking all those years as he kissed her back with as much energy as she was giving him, her hooves were all over him helping to remove his shirt and pants quickly as she set about getting relief as did he. It only got worse when Pinkie started to get creative and set about her dexterous follicles to join in with her hooves as her tail started to brush and stroke sensitive spots even going so far as to infiltrate his boxers to stroke him directly.

Her tongue joined in quickly making his mind slowly eek away from everything and let his body in full control of the situation. Her tail honestly was likely the main attraction at the moment for his mind. It was soft, wrapped around him like a glove and he could feel how wet she was at his tip.

It was her groaning that woke his mind back up as well as the feeling of something slowly working onto his tip that caused him to grab hold of her and stop. “Come on, just a little lower.” The mare broke the kiss to whimper out. “It’s almost in.” She was trying to wiggle her hips back and forth in his grasp and as he looked at her, the unfocused look to her eyes, his mind went sober.

“Pinkie we need to stop.” His brown eyes focused to her face as she couldn’t even look at him straight.

She tried wiggling with all her might and even her winking grew more intense. “Please, I just need it to go a bit more. Just a bit more.”

Pulling her up and off him now he knew what he had to do, cruel as it was to both of them. “We are done here Pinkie.” He told her stuffing himself back in and reaching for his clothing.

That seemed to jump start her brain back to awareness as she suddenly went over to try to stop him. “I-I’m sorry I won’t do it again.”

He felt sad at what he had to do but he had to. “Pinkie, don’t lie. We both know you will and what is more, I don’t think I will have the will power to deny you a second time. I don’t want your mind clouded by need and just getting it from me for a time only to realize you didn’t want it when your brain returns to normal. I care for you and our friendship too much to risk that.”

The look on her face would be one that would be scared into his brain for a good long while. The look of realization followed a bit by horror and sadness came quickly as did the tears that threaten to overflow from her eyes. She did the only thing she could do in this situation and threw a smoke bomb down causing him to cough and wave the air clear only to see that she was gone.

Changing his clothing and spraying the room just as a knocking came to the door. “Everything ok in there, we see smoke.”

“Don’t worry about the smoke, had a small issue but hopefully it’s solved now.” Even if he didn’t know the other pony, it still felt wrong to lie about the situation. There was a problem and he doubted it was solved.

The next day came and it went. Everything was normal and he still half expected Pinkie to show up at Lunch, though he made sure to not bring any extra clothing with him as he meant it when they had to stop. She didn’t show though and that hurt him a bit though it was for the best. Same story at Dinner time, Pinkie was a no show. As he went to bed that night he hoped beyond hope that Luna wouldn’t see into his dreams if he dreamt about the details of the last few days. Lucky for him he experienced no dreams that night.

Day Six of Estrus week was where things were starting to calm down in Ponyville and some of the mares that had light seasons this year were clear headed enough and practically scent free enough that they came to visit though it was to be outside the gates just as a precaution. Many were happy to see their families, brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers, anyone. Day six for Dustan was a lonely one though as his routine would be cut and dry with nothing happening that was different than normal.

Day Seven of Estrus week, it was determined that some mares were out of their season completely and were allowed to come rejoin the castle while waiting for the day to end for most every creature else out there to finish up with their seasons. The mares were playfully jealous of their families being able to watch TMNT and Power Rangers like they had been without them and many were asking to turn this into a regular thing. The Lord of the Everfree tried to promise them something but in the end told them it would depend on his schedule. It likely wouldn’t be any time soon as after Estrus Reports would need to be done then back to his normal filing.

More than a few ponies were a bit shocked to hear how much paperwork he actually did by himself and told him that he should get a secretary to help him with things. It wasn’t a bad idea honestly and he would have to ask Finance if she knew anyone that would be a good fit. In the little time that he had known her Finance had been a big rock of stability and helpfulness in the sea of money issues. Beyond that though, the day passed and no sign of Pinkie anywhere.

The day after Estrus season was a solitary day that was spent mostly in his office. Taking breakfast there as well as lunch and dinner as the fight he had already filed wasn’t the only one that belonged to his people. A few mares ended up breaking things as everything from rage induced stress throwing, to hoof fights. Then there were the more…questionable breakages. Things he really didn’t want to read too far into by had to in order to file it properly. There was even one unfortunate event involving a Stallion that thought he was hot stuff and snuck out to go to Ponyville only for him to end up in the hospital broken, bruised and battered.

His last quote before he was put under to help him heal from a nearly broken pelvis, or the pony equivalent of it as he wasn’t sure if they had one or not, was. “The spirit is willing, but the body and spongy and weak.”

Though he didn’t experience the same thing, two hours for a couple of days was a good amount for just one pony, he couldn’t imagine more than one creature like that all day everyday for that week. “Death by snu snu.” Dustan nearly wrote on the paper before erasing it and laughing. Laughed all he wanted at that thought Dustan suddenly found himself with a case of blue balls. Those few days were nice and intense and had made his body remember that feeling and thus he was aching in a way that he didn’t think he ever would in Equestria.

Paperwork day came and went without as much as a peep from anyone. The second day after Estrus week was very much the same with only Faithful appearing to bring his food. Involved with insurance, bills, and more he eventually called out some choice profanities and asked Merlene, now back as well, to find Exemplary Finance and ask her to come see him. Seems she was a bit busy or hard to find, either way it took an hour before she showed up. She seemed well rested and had a spring to her step of someone who got laid recently.

However she became all business the moment she opened her mouth. “Yes Sir? How may I help you?”

Gesturing to the paperwork in front of him with a sigh he asked her almost pleading. “Tell me you know someone we can hire to help me with the paperwork here.”

“Buck I lost the bet.” She blushed when he raised his eyebrow at that. “Sorry, forgive my language and…unprofessional behavior. You see, some associates and I were in a bit of a pool, how long you would go before you would ask for help. I lost.”

Hearing that, he gave a bit of a smile at her. “Sorry to hear that. I hope that the winner got a decent pot at least.”

She shrugged at him. “I wouldn’t know. I wasn’t keeping track of others days only my own. As for a secretary I can have several interviews lined up for you within a week. As you know, we had been anticipating your need for help for some time now.”

“Thank you Finance. This helps me out so much.” He sighed and looked to the mountain in front of him. “Still got a week more of this. Ugh.”

As she went to leave she did stop and look back to him. “If it makes you feel any better Sir. You outlasted our initial projections by quite a lot.”

She left before Dustan had a chance to say a confused thank you. Activities and schedules were more or less fully back to the way they were with a few exceptions but most of those were ponies who were looking to start families as a few went about planning as they were convinced they had conceived. Dustan wanted to make a comment about not counting chickens, but that would be in poor tastes to dash some families hopes.

Speaking of Dash, she paid her first visit that day to ask him how his week went, and about how she expected to see what he showed everyone else during that week. She made some flashy martial arts movies and laughed. He promised that in a week’s time if he hired a secretary he should have a lot more free time so that might be doable. Rainbow Dash at first seemed shocked then really excited giving out an ‘Aww YEAH!’ as she did a flip in his office. He should make time for Dash; she was one of his best friends on this world along with Mystic, whom he had not had much time for sadly. Speaking of not having time for others, Maya and Boko had been needing attention so hopefully in a week he would have time for them as well.

Applejack came by looking right as rain as it didn’t seem she was bothered this year as she made a mention of catching up on some back log work she had been meaning to do. He had seen Fluttershy out and about when he looked out his window once but she had not come to visit him, Dustan guess she was still mad at him. Rarity came in at one point as well looking to gossip but he wasn’t that much into that though he did ask if she designed the Crusaders new equipment they seemed to be wearing.

“Ahh you noticed those things huh? I was feeling inspired so I went about designing them for the girls. Though I did initially make Scootaloo’s cape longer, she didn’t like it though as I quote ‘messes with my wings’. So I turned into a shoulder mounted accessory and it looks tre sheik.” Dustan had not examined the items with his tactical eye so wasn’t sure if they were actual pieces but shrugged and figured it didn’t matter at the moment.

A huge surprise came in the form of Twilight, who avoided the subject of Estrus completely as she told him about her refinements to the teleportation glyph as well as something else. “So by reducing the arcane friction here and here for steps five and twelve I was able to cut it down by another three percent making the total almost exactly fifty percent from last time. Oh while I am looking over some notes to make sure I said everything, mind looking at this.”

“Sure, but only if you look at some plans of my own.” He pulled out some blueprints and handed them over as he took the pouch and looked at it. He was definitely surprised and looked to Twilight with a sigh.

“Another failure, I thought so. So what are these plans-” Twilight stopped as Dustan held up his hand to quiet her.

Then suddenly he was laughing hard. “Congratulations Twilight, you finally made Salve.”

So surprised she dropped his blueprints and could only mutter. “W-what?” Looking at the sample of Salve she made she took it back and went over it. “Bu-but, I was so tired coming back from the archives and drained from the time travel spell that-”

“That you put the absolute minimum that you could into the making of this and it was exactly the amount you needed.” He told her and gave her a nice pat on the head. “Good job.”

“It needs so little. No wonder.” She whispered to herself holding the item in question as if it was sacred. “When you kept saying a very little amount, I thought little…for me I suppose. But you meant little for an average or even young pony. Well I know you said that but I suppose it never registered for me. My little is…a lot to say the least compared to the average.” Suddenly she jumped up and smiled looking at him with a huge grin.

He didn’t like that smile “Twilight. What did you just think of?”

“Well~” She took a hoof and poked his chest. “Someone promised me we would talk about the teleport glyph when you got back and if I made Salve. We got back but then estrus week hit so now we have time to talk. So let’s talk.”

Purplesmart ended up getting him to agree to schedule sometime in the human world after he got a secretary but it was definitely a thing that was going to happen this time. What is more she decided she wanted to show some of the others so they had agreed to two others, but that was it. She also agreed to look over his blueprints to see if his idea was something that could be done.

Beyond Fluttershy not wanting to visit, that just left one of the Mane Six that he had not seen since Estrus week ended and she didn’t appear until near dinner time that night. “My Lord.” Merlene called out to him after knocking as Dustan looked up from his stack of work. “Ms. Pinkie Pie is here to see you.”

He could feel his back straighten up as he heard that, it was the moment he was dreading. “Send her in.” Bowing the falcon griffon left before a moment later the pink party pony of Ponyville walked, not pronked, into his office.

She sat down as the door closed and looked over to him. “So…yeah, I guess we need to talk huh?”

“Yeah.” With the stress of paperwork, as well as this hanging over his head, Dustan took the blunt approach to his feelings. “Do you hate me for doing all that?”

Blinking and not seeming to process what the human said for a moment she quickly shook her head when her brain caught up. “What, no! I should be asking that of you.” She rubbed her hoof around in the chair as she looked down. “I wasn’t exactly a gentlemare back then. You were right; I was letting my hind end do the thinking for me. I mean at first it was fine, the fun, the shows, and then you started to look nice for some reason, then there was the petting. Oh the petting, I think that is what did it. When I felt you touch me it was like it opened up my mind to more than just touching and after that well, I started watching you more moved to your lap ended up…well petting the kitty so to speak with your leg.” She chuckled a bit at that one and looked away even more. “I didn’t even realize at first what I was doing till after I had already finished and you spoke to me. I had to quickly hide what I did so I ‘accidently’ spilt my drink all over us. Can’t notice a wet spot if all of your pants are wet right?”

“Ahh that explains that. I honestly just thought you were shaky after it when I realized what you did that day.” His smile seemed to help assure her things were fine.

She giggled with him and nodded “Oh boy was I shaky like an apple in Sweet Apple Acre.” That got them both to laughing before she would calm down and look at him. “So does this mean we are good?”

“Yeah.” He replied to her feeling that weight lift from his shoulders.

Moving around the desk she reared up and gave him a hug. “Thank you for not going further.” She ended that with a rather sweet kiss to his lips which he did return. “For what it’s worth to you, if we had gone further, I don’t think I would have regretted it. There are worst people to do that with and I would have been happy to make you happy like that. Dating though? Not sure about that, you tend to be a bit stuffy at times for me.”

“Thanks, that does mean a lot Pinkie.” He booped her nose with a smile on his own face causing her to giggle as well as to move away from him. “You are a bit too much for me to be fair. I don’t think I could keep up with your energy and trust me, I did think about things a good bit that week after things started to happen. I tried to picture who it was I could see myself in the future with and honestly I drew a blank. When I asked myself what it is I wanted in the future it pretty much was blank as well.”

“Really? Huh.” For a moment Pinkie looked like she was debating something fiercely as she bit her lips before asking. “No pony at all?”

“Not at the moment.” That caused Pinkie’s face to hit the desk as she pulled out a few balloons from her mane.

Blowing them up she quickly wrote on the white one with a black marker. “Look normally we aren’t supposed to talk about this sort of thing, unofficial mare code and all that, but you don’t really know things and how they work so I am breaking it to help you and them out. You have two ponies super into you. I thought there was a third but she seems to only see you as a friend and responsibility so unless she can start seeing you differently I am not marking her under this.” Getting back on track she twisted the now black marked balloon into a pony shape. “This pony right here, she has known you a long time and for a while she seemed up in the air about things. However lately I have noticed that when I see you two she is giving you ALL the go ahead signals.”

For a moment Dustan looked at the balloon and took in its colors. “That is-”

She cut him off. “No names, I am breaking rules as it is. Keep those names to yourself.” Turning to the other balloon she blew it up and it was a nice cool blue color as she smiled to him. “This one I personally think is a bit cute. See this pony doesn’t know she likes you that way yet. She keeps giving you the signals but doesn’t realize but it’s only a matter of time. Problem is, with her personality it could go either way of she will be more open and try more, or deny it and hide it. There won’t be a middle ground with her.” The party pony then drew on the blue pseudo pony on its sides.

What she drew was the shapes of wings on both sides making Dustan give a simple. “Oh.” Then he held his hand over his face. “Oh…so…what do I do Pinkie?”

Bringing the white and black balloon she put it in front of him. “Date this one. Then when the other realizes her feelings and talks to you date her as well.”

The Lord of the Everfree’s eyes nearly bugged out from his skull as he heard Pinkie suggest that. “What why, that would be cheating on Z-I mean the first mare.”

That only caused her to tilt her head and chuckle as she looked at him. “No silly billy.” She booped his nose like he had done to her earlier. “You see in Equestria that is normal dating. Until you decide on a Lead Mare for your herd you can date multiple ponies or creatures. It’s honestly expected. So you wouldn’t be cheating on them. You would have to have one as a Lead Mare first then sleep with a pony outside your herd to do that. If it turns out you like both ponies you have to still make one Lead Mare and the other one can be brought in a bit later, but give it about a month before you do that so you can spend time with your Lead Mare exclusively for a bit. Why how are things done in your world?”

For a second he forgot that Pinkie was at the meeting where he told people he was an alien from another world or universe. “Well, I was unusual in that the person I was with before was the one who initiated things. Usually it’s the guys who do so where I am from.”

“Huh, weird, it’s the opposite here. It’s why the first Mare was giving you all the signals, telling you she was ok with dating and was waiting to see if you picked up and were ok with them.

If they aren’t pregnant then I can turn those party dates into something else and just swap out some things. But I am going to be busy for a bit.” She only got a few steps, halfway to the door before she looked back blushing a bit. “Um…you can keep the picture by the way.” She then hastily made her way out.

“Yeah, that is what I was thinking too.” And his face impacted the desk once more.

Author's Note

Ahh the end of the Estrus Week, Dustan got some eye opening experiences for sure. No doubt this changes so many things for our hero, but only time will tell what he will do with that information.

Also sorry for it being a day late. My editor had a bit of trouble with some tech. I always appreciate their help though so I am more then willing to wait for them to get things sorted out.
