NOIRE POV

"Could someone explain to me why in hell Ayra is now a changeling queen, and why our guards are chasing her halfway across Equestria!?" I asked as a carried an exhausted Curdle on my back. I had attempted several times to teleport in front to cut them off, but couldn't keep up with their pace, or risked being caught in their hoard. As we ran from hall to hall, eve more guards, both male and female were strangely draw into the mix like a snowball effect.

"I believe it's Ayra's pheromones making them go haywire. When she changed, I felt this wave of ectasy flowing through me, and I was about to... you know... well..."

"Rut her-" I finished for her.

"Yes, that, but then a bunch of guards burst in and tried to put their grubby hands on my mare!"

"Care to explain that?" I asked, giving her a mocking smirk. Curdle blushed and hid her face in my back.

"Care to stop them before they rape my marefriend!?" she rebutted. I relented and teleported to the end of the hallway we were in. I watched as the screaming, fledgling queen leapt behind me, and in that short second, I made a magic barrier, stopping them in their tracks. I let Curdle down, and she hugged the shaking changeling.

"What just happened?" Ayra said, barely in control of her panting breaths.

"Let's talk about that later. We're going to my room, and as for them," I directed myself to the guards, who were beginning to come out of their stupor "Take a breather, a cold shower preferably." With that, I teleported all three of us to my room where we could finally relax.

Once I was back, I witnessed the weirdest thing I have seen here to date; both of my marefriends, Tidal Horn and Princess Cadance, the most bitter, and petty, of rivals, locked in a passionate kiss. I would be lying if I said that didn't turn me on. Curdle and Ayra were also at a loss for words. What made the whole room turn even more awkward was that they didn't even notice us enter, forcing silence down our throats until we choked. We three all shared a look, begging for one of us to speak, however, the duty was on me, the boyfriend. I had to break the silence, breathing a new kind of awkwardness into the room in one, long, "Umm..."

Both mares snapped their necks at us, realising we were watching. "How long have you been there?" Tidal asked me.

"Depends. How long have you two been making out?"

Tidal and Cadance shared a long look of anxiety before Cadance answered "Five minutes or so."

"Then let's say two." Silence. "So~, we have a new development with our resident changeling," I directed them to Ayra's new form while Ayra shyly waved "Cadance, I don't suppose you could help her with her whole pheromone problem in private."

"Of course! Follow me, dear. We'll have you in control in no time!" Cadance took Ayra's hand and led her into the bathroom. Once the door shut, both Curdle and I let out a sigh of relief. My crotch felt ten times less hot, and I could see Curdle unknotting her legs. I could now focus on the unicorn in front of me, keeping her gaze away from me to hide her blushing cheeks.

"I thought this was the last place you wanted to be today," I said, sitting next to her "So were you lying to me or is there another explanation?" Tidal hit me in the face with a pillow.

"Oh cram it! You were the one who said I needed to get along with her!" Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Curdle exiting the room. I remained silent, waiting for her to give as I knew a response would only fuel her hot temper. Eventually, she cooled off, and was ready to explain "When you left, Cadance and I had a talk about us, whether this relationship would just be you simply being with us or all three of us being able to love each other equally. I've seen multiple polyamorous relationships, and they all just felt like harems instead of actual relationships. Almost all of them ended in one or multiple mares leaving because the stallion picked a favourite and neglected them. I don't want to be tossed aside, Noire. I want this to last. I thought building a relationship with Cadance would help that." It seemed that I underestimated how much Tidal was in doubt over our relationship. However, I also seemed to underestimate how determined she was to be with me.

"I promise I will never leave you. Cross my heart, and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye," I said while doing the actions that Pinkie Pie taught me during the party "Now, if I do, Pinkie Pie will come after me with the might of a hundred Grims if I break that promise. I am bound to you-"

"FOREVER!" Pinkie's disembodied voice yelled.

"I guess it would be unfair if I didn't do the same. I promise I will never leave you. Cross my heart, and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye." Tidal made the same promise, doing the same actions, and kissed me on the forehead "A little bonus."

"AW!" Curdle said, bursting through the door.

"THAT WAS SO ADORABLE!" Ayra yelled.

"I KNOW, RIGHT!?" Cadance followed suit. Both of us were assaulted by a group hug from the three mares "You two are just the cutest, little things."

"Now I'm thinking about joining you in this little herd of yours, you charmer!" Ayra added.

"Maybe let us have some time to be a couple first, Ayra," Curdle said.

"You two are dating?" Tidal asked.

CADANCE POV

As Celestia set her sun, and Luna raised her moon, Tidal raised a very intriguing question.

"Do you want to go on a date?" I raised an eyebrow at this. Ayra and Curdle left to their quarters (at least one of them~), and Noire was dragged to another stallion's night out, so we were alone. "I mean, as an apology, for ruining your date with Noire, and to get to know you better." I decided that she was going to have to suffer first for my agreement.

"I don't know, you don't seem to know a lot about table manners, or manners in general..."

"Wait wut?"

"My tastes may not be to your... ability."

"How dare you! I have great abilities in all facets of life!"

"Except for anger management-" For a second, I thought I heard shots, but I wasn't done yet "and fashion sense."

"...please..." Tidal said meekly. I never thought I could see Tidal look so defeated, and I saw her take a greatsword to the gut by her crush. I couldn't help but laugh "For fu-" She stopped herself for a moment, inhaled, exhaled, and spoke "Cadance, I want us to get along, so can we please just leave that business behind us, and go on a date?" She asked again. I decided she had suffered enough. Plus, it was nice to see her, so different from when she openly insulted me in front of my guards.

"I'm just messing with you. Of course I will," I agreed, and Tidal let out a long sigh "However, I might need to help you pick an outfit."

"I hate you." We both shared a little laugh as we basked in our own silliness. We laid on the bed staring up at the ceiling, silently wondering about how much we had changed in so little time. It hadn't been half a year, but I had already gone from a princess, a wife, and an emissary of love, to a mare, a part of a herd, and had almost no idea what love was anymore. For the fist time since I met her, Tidal was smiling, like she was finally at peace with everything. In that moment, I made a daring move, snaking my hand around hers, joining them together, and gripped. Tidal's eyes widened in shock, but never left the ceiling. However, she gripped back.

"I wonder how Noire is right now."

"He'll be fine"

NOIRE POV

"So, how has your first heat season been for you, Noire?" Burning Fist asked me. I turned to him and shushed. We were in an alleyway, hiding from a group of angry stallions, searching every nook and cranny for us. Windy was already a lost cause.

"You know we are elite soldiers. We could beat them all if we wanted to."

"Yeah, I know that, but I want Windy to suffer a bit longer. He just had to grab that mare's ass."

"I thought it was a stallion's ass he grabbed?" I sighed but cut myself of when I saw a stallion peer around the corner we were hidden behind, but failed to look down at us huddled like children. In a few seconds, he retreated, and I used that opportunity to teleport both of us back to the castle. However, I couldn't help but hear the shrill scream of a pegasus general. What happened to one of the strongest ponies in Equestria to reduce him to a screaming infant, I refuse to know.

"Sorry Windy, you're on your own."

Author's Note

Part 2 was designed to be short. A simple chapter for characters to finally update each other on their lives (It was bothering me that I not utilising my original side characters) and just chill a bit. Part 3 will be when the sauce gets added. It'll be here soon so I'll see you soon too!

Stay dizzy. Wuzzy out.
