Gavin stared at the others in the room. He recognized the Sphinx, who smiled at him. He recognized the Diamond Dogs, but they looked different from the ones he had seen. These were wearing bras that covered their 6 CC-cup breasts, and were wearing short jackets with gems. He also recognized the timberwolves, but they also looked different. They looked bigger than normal timberwolves, and had a flower behind the left ear. He did not, however, recognize the last one.

The last one was wearing a cloak that covered their whole body, preventing him from seeing what they were.

The girls stuck their heads out of his shirt to see what was the matter, and froze when they saw that they had company.

The Diamond Dogs chuckled at this, while the others just smiled. The one wearing the cloak started walking towards Gavin, Kyu, and Lea, who were frozen in fear. They didn't know what to do.

The cloaked one stopped right in front of them, and reached their hand out towards his free one, revealing a yellow furred hand with black spots. Once they reached his hand, they pulled his hand towards them a little bit, making his eyes widen in surprise.

"You're not going to hurt me, are you?" he asked the figure, who shook its head in response.

"Oh thank goodness!!" he sighed in relief, visibly relaxing. "I was afraid I was going to have to fight you. And I knew I wouldn't win if I did. I'm not much of a fighter."

He looked back at the crown in his other hand, and whistled.

"This is a nice crown. But why did it become a crown?" he said, holding the crown up for them to see. The cloaked figure let go of his hand, and practically leaped back in shock at the sight of the crown, while the others gasped.

"What?" Gavin asked them, confusion on his face.

The cloaked figure turned to him, and walked up to him before removing the cloak from them.

The figure was an anthro cheetah girl. She had 2 DD-cup chests, which she covered with two training bras made of woven grass, was covered in cheetah fur, her face looked like a cheetahs, had paws for feet, a tail, and she was wearing black running shorts.

"It became a crown for the one who will use it for good and will be fair and just," she said, making him nod in understanding.

"Alright. Thanks for the explanation, Miss....," He trailed off, not knowing her name.

"My name is Cream," the cheetah girl replied.

"Well thanks again Miss Cream for explaining that to me," he said with a smile. But it soon change to a look of confusion when he said, "So, why are you all here? Are you going to take the crown from me?"

They all shook their heads.

"No," chuckled the Sphinx. "We're all here for the same reason."

"And that one reason is?" he asked, raising an eyebrow. Kyu and Lea also raised an eyebrow, wondering too what the reason was.

Cream blushed, and said with a giggle, "Why, you of course!!"

Gavin and the fox sister's jaws dropped upon hearing that. "W-wait waitwaitwaitwaitwait," he said nervously. "You mean to tell me that all six of you came here for me."

They all nodded. "But why? I'm nothing special," he said. The sisters disagreed, and hopped out of his shirt, landing on the ground in front of him. They turned to him, and started yipping at him. How dare he say he wasn't special!! They would tell him just how special he was!

"That's where you are wrong Gavin," the Sphinx said as she started to move towards him, drawing everyone's attention to her. "You are special. You beat me in a game of riddles. It's not every day that someone beats a Sphinx in riddles. And those two foxes there are saying that you are very special to them."

He looked down at Kyu and Lea, and said, "Kyu, Lea, do you really think so?"

They nodded their heads up and down quickly, wagging their tails as well. He smiled at that, and said, "Thanks girls."

The Diamond Dogs then spoke up, heading towards him as well. "We watched you as you solved the gem puzzle. We were interested in what you would do with the gems. When you complimented the diamond, we felt happy. So we followed you to here."

The Sphinx then pointed to the timberwolves, who were also moving towards him with wagging tails, saying, "These two girls were in the plants you had to sing to. They heard your song, and wept at its beauty. They followed you from then on, interested in you."

Finally, Cream spoke. "I was hiding in the shadows in this room. When you first arrived, I didn't know what to think about you. I had never seen anything like you before."

Gavin nodded his head at that, knowing that she would have never seen a human before since they didn't exist in Equestria. Well, only he existed.

She continued. "When you started talking to the heart, I was struck with how sincere you were, and how truthful you were to the heart. And when you mentioned how lonely you felt, I was saddened by that. No one should have to be alone. Once you had finished your speech, I had hoped that you would not be punished. To my amazement, you were given the heart!! I knew then that you were special, for the heart would only choose someone worthy of its power, and they must be special. So, you see Gavin. You are special."

Once she finished, she wrapped her arms around him in a hug, surprising him. He slowly wrapped his arms around her, returning the hug. He noticed that she mildly smelled of lavender.

After a few seconds went by, they broke the hug, both of them smiling.

"Thanks," he said calmly.

"It's not a problem at all," she replied with a smile.

The Sphinx then said, "My turn!!"

Before he knew what was going on, he found himself being held against the Sphinx's chest with her paw, which he saw was as large as his head. He looked up to see that the Sphinx had a large smile on her face as she looked at him. He wrapped his arms around her chest as best he could, and he could swear he could hear her purring!!

After several seconds, she put him back down on the ground, where Kyu and Lea were waiting for him, along with the Diamond Dogs and Timberwolves.

Once he was safely on the ground, he found himself sandwiched between the Diamond Dogs, who pressed themselves against him. He could feel their breasts, and had to will himself to not pop a boner.

"It's our turn," one of the Diamond Dogs said. She was slightly taller than the other one, and had brown fur, with yellow eyes.

"Yes it is," said the other. She had gray fur and green eyes. "My name is Sasha."

The tall one said, "And I am Sapphire."

"N-nice to meet you, Sapphire and Sasha," he said, doing his best to keep his cool. Luckily, they didn't catch his stutter. Instead, they put their heads on his shoulders, and snuggled with him.

After a few minutes of snuggling, they let go of Gavin, and stepped back from him.

He watched with slight fear as the timberwolves made their way towards him. But that fear went away when they began nuzzling him.

He smiled, and sat down on the ground, crown still in hand. The wolves went up to his face, and started licking him with their smooth leafy tongues, getting chuckles from him in return.

He started petting them while they did this, and felt their fur. It felt soft, like grass, which made sense, since they were timberwolves. They did this for several seconds, and then went back a few steps, allowing Kyu and Lea to get to him.

The two foxes jumped into his lap, and put their paws on his chest while licking his chin. He chuckled and picked them up, earning a few surprise yips from them. They continued to lick him though, until they decided to stop and look at the crown in his other hand, curious about it.

Gavin noticed that they were looking at the crown, and decided to tell them what had happened. Once he had finished telling them about the crown, the girls were looking at it with awestruck faces.

He chuckled at their faces, and they looked at him as he chuckled.

"Sorry. It's just that you look so cute with those faces," he said, slightly chuckling. They glanced at each other, before looking back at him and yipping at him.

Gavin looked at the Sphinx, and said, "What did they say?"

The Sphinx said, "They said that they liked the compliment, and that they also want you to put the crown on."

After she said that, Kyu and Lea both nuzzled the crown in his hand, drawing his attention back to it.

"So, you two want me to put the crown on?" he asked them, only to receive yips in response. "I'll take those as a yes. But first, let me get up."

Kyu and Lea hopped off his lap, allowing him to get up while leaving his pack on the ground.

"Alright. I'll put it on."

With that, he placed the crown on his head, and adjusted it, so it sat comfortably on his head.

"How do I look girls?" he asked them all.

"Like a king," the Sphinx said, the rest agreeing with her.

Gavin blushed. "Thanks, but I'm not a king. I'm just m-."

Just as he was about to finish speaking, the crown started glowing.

They watched in awe as the crown started glowing brighter and brighter. Suddenly, 8 orbs of light shot out of it, and went into the girls, causing them to cry out in alarm.

"Girls!!!" he cried out, panicking at what was happening.

He took the crown off, hoping it would stop. But it didn't.

He could only watch in fear as the girls began to glow bright. Soon they were shining brightly, causing him to cover his eyes.

After a few minutes, the glowing stopped, and he uncovered his eyes. When he looked at the girls, his jaw dropped, and he said, "Holy shit. What in the name of Celestia happened??!!!!"
