When Aero opened his eye's again he found he was no longer in the Mayor's office. Instead he found himself standing in the main hall of the Crystal Empire's castle. He quirked an eyebrow at the absurdity of having been randomly teleported to where his mare's were. It wasn't until he turned around that he found what the most likely cause was. There standing in front of him was Luna and Moony who had wide grins before darting forward to steal a kiss from their colt.

The presence of not just Luna, but Moony as well meant that Aero was definitely dreaming. Why he was pulled into a lucid dream with two of his herdmates was the real question. "What's the occasion?" he asked.

"Well hello to you too my love." Luna replied, her tone playful and happy. "Do we really need a reason to enjoy a dream with our colt while he is gone?" Both her and Moony laughed, pulling him in for warm cuddles.

"Well I'm not going to complain. Especially if it means we get to cuddle like this." He said, giving emphasis by squeezing the two of them back and rubbing his face in their chest fluffs. The two mares giggled and blushed as they enjoyed the moment. With how often they were travelling lately, and the planning for the Hive going on, they barely had time to simply enjoy time together.

"How's everypony else doing?" He asked, genuine curiosity coloring his voice. As nice as it was to be with Luna and Moony, he did have other Mare's to care for and multiple foals on the way. Luna simply looked at Moony and nodded before she spoke.

"Everypony is doing fine per se. However we do have news concerning our Sister." Luna said, a bright blush filling her cheeks. "We have found her sleeping intimately with several Changelings who had changed to look like you."

At that, Aero froze. It wasn't all that weird that Changelings might become him for a prank or something, but he was sure that Chrysalis wouldn't allow her brood to do anything to jeopardize their own salvation. The more worrying aspect was that Celestia had been sleeping with essentially copies of himself. What did that mean? Was Celestia in love with him as well? Was she jealous of her sister?

"Did...did she say why?" he asked.

"We have the other's questioning her right now. Although she has been rather stubborn in her efforts to hide why she was doing it. We are sure it is because she is falling for you my young Prince." Luna explained as she nuzzled his cheek. Despite having had the thought himself, hearing Luna say it left him with a light blush. "We wish to cuddle longer, but I can sense that you are coming close to waking. We will see you when you return." Aero nodded and kissed his mares as his dreamscape seemed to dissolve like mist.

He groggily opened his eye's and was hit with a headache that could kill a Minotaur. His throat was incredibly dry and for a few minutes, he felt very confused and lost. It felt like his brain was trying to reboot itself. With slow movements, he made his way over to the water cooler, paying no attention to the fact that Mayor Mare was still asleep where they had finished. He drank a few cups of water as he waited for his headache to go away.

This was what Aero's mom would call the grumpies. As the name implied, he was a bit grumpy after naps. Sighing, he sat down next to Mayor Mare who at the moment was beginning to stir. The sun was hanging low in the sky now, which meant it was nearing the end of the day and that it would be almost time for him to head back to the castle.

Mayor Mare stretched out in much the same way a cat or dog would as her back popped and cracked from the awkward laying position she had slept in. When she noticed Aero, her face exploded into a blush. She hadn't realized her heat had effected her so much that she would be unable to control herself. She could remember vividly what they had done and the fact that there was a very high chance that she was going to be carrying his foal.

She wasn't worried however as this was what she had written to Twilight about in the first place. She had heard that the Prince Consort seemed to have a habit of rapidly impregnating his herd, and that Twilight herself was interested. It wasn't normally something she would have done, but she had wanted to be a mother so badly. Of all her years she lived, she had spent most of them alone.

But now she had a chance. She had sent Twilight a letter begging to have a chance to join them in their herd. Sure it was a request born of her solitude but it had all worked out. She smiled over at Aero who adorably looked like his nap had not been kind to him. She chuckled, causing him to grumpily raise an eyebrow at her. She stood and walked over to the cabinet that was to the right of her desk and pulled out her tea set.

She was no stranger to napping in her office and often times tea was her go to as a wake up drink, mainly because it was lighter than coffee and didn't leave her as jittery. While she busied herself making some ginger tea, Aero made himself comfortable on a seat cushion. He had a few questions, but he was in no mood to ask them. All he wanted was for his headache to go away and to not feel terrible.

Thankfully he didn't have to wait long before the tea was ready. Once he had his cup, he took a few tender sips. Letting the warmth and energy from the tea suffuse him. What made him really smile however was that it was ginger, and it was the same tea his mom would often buy. His favorite.

It wasn't for a while longer that Aero finally voiced the most important of his questions. "Um...So that was fun, but...um, I'm still a bit confused. Are you joining us?" he asked, trying to wrap his head around the whole situation. After all, he had only just met her today and although it was fun, he wanted to make sure he wasn't just assuming or jumping to conclusions. But the only way in his mind to get an answer, was to ask outright.

"Well, Aero you're correct. I sent a letter to Twilight requesting to be allowed into your herd. However she had explained that the final decision was to come from you. The rest of your herd has already given me their blessing." she explained, watching to gauge his reaction.

"I was told that if you refused my advance, that it would be a sure sign that I was approved of. But not only did you accept me, you bred me too." she continued, her eye's misting up as she smiled at him. He really had made her dream come true and even if she wasn't pregnant yet, she was still the happiest today than she had ever been in her life.

Aero on the other hoof seemed to be lost in thought. And indeed he was, as he processed this. Nopony had ever told him whether or not there was a limit to how many mare's a stallion could have in a herd. But he assumed that the case was more than likely different for him in the context of him having multiple Princesses in his herd. In this case he could easily see himself accepting her into the herd. Nothing was stopping him, so why was he hesitant?

He knew why. He had after all only just met her. With the rest of his herd, there was a spark. A connection he felt almost immediately. With Mayor Mare it was a little different, almost foreign. So he responded with the best course of action he could think of.

"I wouldn't mind you joining us. But maybe we could go on a few dates first?" he asked. He didn't want to reject her, it felt fundamentally wrong to do so. And he figured his best chance would be to get to know her and see if a spark could truly be hidden beneath the surface. Mayor Mare gave a chuckle as she hugged him.

"Of course." she happily replied.

* * *

After everything was said and done, Aero found himself once again on a train heading to the Crystal Empire. He couldn't very well stay in Ponyville, after all his herd was back in the Empire. The only difference this time being the adorable purple princess who was currently snuggling his hoof in a death hug while she slept. For Aero it felt as though his hoof had become a heavy inanimate lump full of pins and needles. It had played traitor to his body and had fallen asleep.

Carefully he tried to extricate said hoof from said furry adorable vice, but it seemed the harder he tugged, the tighter she squeezed. Aero had to figure out something to release him from his predicament or he could quite possibly lose his leg. Thinking quickly, he maneuvered himself so that he could reach Twilights marehood. Lightly he rubbed his right hoof over it, coaxing out her clit as she began to wink.

He wasn't really worried about anypony catching him, after all they were in the royal carriage and only royalty and those they invite were allowed in. He was desperate now as he felt the pins and needles start to disappear as they were replaced by numbness. Finally, Twilight gasped out and release his leg as she was overcome with what most would call a mini orgasm. She sat bolt upright and stared at him through groggy, very turned on and very annoyed eye's.

"As much as I love the wake up call Aero, I was having a good dream." she said, sulking with an adorable pout to match.

"Sorry, but you were attempting to surgically amputate my leg with a hug." he replied, causing her to erupt into a furious blush. No doubt in part because she had remembered what part of her dream had been about. She decided in that moment that he would need to be punished. And she spent the whole rest of the train ride doing just that.

That day it was said that many heard a strange lustful yell echo across the land.
