Me and the girls all woke up later than usual, so we had to rush to pack our bags to head back to Ponyville. We were given a quick breakfast by the sisters, and left with a few goodbyes. We made it to the train station just in time. We boarded the train and went off.

"Hey Girls, I got some presents for you. Some shirts that are funny, like mine are." I then pull out a few gift wrapped packages from my hammerspace.

"Rarity, I had no shirts for you, so I got you some jewelry instead." She looks at the package I give her and opens it.

Inside is a resin ring that shows off some mountains, with an Aurora Borealis above them. She gets misty eyed over the ring, and slips it on her finger, where it fits perfectly.

"How did you know my ring size?"

"Pinkie."

"Fair enough."

"Applejack, I don't have many shirts that would fit your personality well, so I got you this." She took the package and tore into it.

The shirt inside was a black tank top with the words
'I'm a female. Fe=iron, male=man. Therefore, I am iron man

She bust out laughing, and said, "Ya know, this is true. I am going to bust my brothers head with this shirt." Before taking off her shirt and putting it on. It fit her a bit snug, but Twilight used her magic to make it fit better.

"Twilight. You are a princess and everyone knows you are a geek. So here is yours." She levitates it over to herself, and magics the box open.

The shirt inside was a gray short sleeve, with the words
'Forget lab safety, I want superpowers. and showed a lab technician pouring two test tubes on his shoulders.

She just facepalmed and showed the girls her coat, and they laughed at the joke.

"Rainbow, here you go." she snatched it from me, and ripped into it with gusto.

The jacket she got was a hoodie that had the words
'I was dropped as a baby into a pool of awesomeness and glitter.

"Aw yeah, this is totally my new favorite jacket. It explains my origin story."

"Fluttershy, the shyest mare of the group, here is yours." She took it and gently opened her package.

The shirt was a simple gray short sleeve, and stenciled across the front was the words
' Introverts Unite. We're here, we're uncomfortable, and we want to go home

She blushes at the shirt and thanks me.

"And Pinkie, here is your shirt. I took much deliberation to figure out which one to give you, but here it is."The mare pulled her gift box out of her hair and proceeded to open it. I didn't question how it went from my hands to her hair. It was Pinkie, after all.

Her shirt was a light blue color with a lot of writing on it. The words said
'My brain is a scary jungle of gibberish. I'm writing a letter I can't write a letter why can't I write a letter I write a letter i'm wearing a green dress I wish I was wearing my blue dress my blue dress is at the cleaners the Germans wore gray you wore blue Casablanca Casablanca such a good movie Casablanca the white house Bush why don't I drive a hybrid car I should really drive a hybrid car I should really take my bicycle to work bicycle unicycle unitard hockey puck rattlesnake monkey monkey underpants

She read that and passed it around to the rest of the group. Twilight looked miffed at it, and started to go off on how grammatically incorrect it was, and everyone laughed.

"You girls have no idea how many times the author had to flip back and forth between tabs to write this shirt. But I thank you Cameron. Both of you." Pinkie then gave me a big hug. I didn't fully understand, but I figured it had to be something to do with the multiverse.

Shortly after the gift giving, we arrived at Ponyville station. When we exited the train car, I turned to the girls, and said.

"Could you all meet me and Twilight at the librarby? I have something I want to say to you all." They all gave affirmation that they would, and went to put away their luggage. I walked with Twilight to the librarby. We get there and she goes and unpacks her bags. Spike comes down and sees me, and comes and asks how the trips went.

"It went good. Fought for approval and laid out Blueballs. It was good."

"Wait, you fought Blueblood. Why? Did he say something to Rarity again, or do something to the other girls?"

"Yes. He called Pinkie a whore. And my bitch, which it's almost the other way around. by the way, can I ask you about this herd stuff? I feel like you might be able to help me with it."

"Sure, what you need to know about?"

"Well, how many herds are around town, and who is the herd master of each? And how many are usually in a herd?"

"Well, know a bit more than most people i town how to help with this. There is ten herds around town. I don't know the masters of each, but the ones I do know are Mr. Cake, Big Mac, Vinyl Scratch, Lyra Heartstrings, the spa pony Aloe, and Twilight. The mares in Mr. Cakes herd are Mrs. Cake, and four others, Berry Punch and the flower sellers. Big Macs herd has Cheerilee, Derpy, who is part of another herd as well, and they share her nicely, Nurse Redheart, and Pinkie's two sisters, Marble and Limestone. That is all I know of the herds here in Ponyville. As for how big herds can get, I have heard it can get up to ten people. I don't know anymore than that. I do know that to join a herd, you have to be voted in by all other members of the herd, and to be the master, you have to be voted by the others to be master."

"What are the perks of being master."

"Well, you can do whatever you want with your herd members, and that includes 'FUN' things in that manner. And don't worry, I got used to the herd noises a long time ago. I try not to think about it to much, and Twilight gave me a nice stereo system to drown it out. You get to do anything with and to them, short of forcing yourself. That is not looked nicely upon. You can grope or whatever when you want, and you can even have sex in public, just don't, as ponies will not be happy with you, and we have a lot of fillies in town."

"Understood. Thanks" Funny he didn't question why I was asking about herds.

"Twilight ask you to be herd master? Figured it wouldn't take long. They like how you take care of them. And since you said you worked well with kids, that put you higher in their books. It was only a matter of time. I expected it to be a little longer though."

"It probably has to do with the fact that I fought Bluedick because he called Pinkie a whore. That's most likely why they pushed the question to last night during our dances."

"Well, what are you gonna say?"

"Stay and find out if you want. If you wanna leave, then the answer starts with y and ends in p. Three letters. Have fun figuring it out."

I left the befuddled dragon to stand a ruminate on what I meant.

After that, the girls started to show up one by one. Twilight was last, and the meeting started.

"Okay, i'm going assume that you know that Twilight asked me a question last night, and you all know that question. So I will give you an answer here and now. Yes. I accept." The girls start looking at each other confused, and Fluttershy speaks up.

"Accept what?"

I look at Twilight, who has taken a peculiar interest in BOOKS, and I know, she already does have an interest. She just seemed FASCINATED by the many titles on her shelf.

"Twilight, you did tell them you would ask me, RIGHT?"

"Um, about that. I forgot after that. I meant to tell them, but I didn't. So, um, yeah. I didn't tell them."

"So they have no idea what I a talking about, correct."

"Yes."

"Twilight, you are a Princess and a scholar, who loves keeping a schedule, and forgot to do something important. Tell your friends the context, please, before I have an aneurysm."

"Last night, I asked Cameron if she would be master of our herd. We have talked about it before, and last night proved that she is perfect for us. She doesn't care about our position, or that I am a princess, and she cares for us. She fights like a boss, and she cares for Pinkie and kids well. I mean, she did do, whats it called, foster care. Right? Yeah, foster care, and that means she took care of other peoples kids. She would be perfect for us. I was just looking out for the herd. That is what she was accepting. Being herd master."

The girls looked at Twilight, then me, back and forth, before Rainbow Dash spoke up.

"Well, I have no problem with her being master. Just as long as she knows i'm the best."

"I agree with Rainbow Dash, darling. Just tell us next time, before something like this happens." Rarity said, and the rest of the girls hopped on the bandwagon and agreed.

And that is how I got my herd of six beautiful mares.

Author's Note

Sorry for the long wait. Due to recent events, and comments from everyone, I have decided to go back and edit previous chapters. I am going to fix a few plot errors, and character elements to make for a more pleasing story. I will put an edit in the title for you to know which chapters have been edited. Not all chapters have problems, so those that don't will change slightly depending on changes in story. Thank you all for reading my story, and I hope to be done with editing soon.

Have a Jivin day!
