The sun slowly crept across the room to shine on the sleeping figures holding each other in the bed. When it reached the smaller ones face causing it to stir a groan went out. "Ughhh five more minutes." Jack said rubbing his eyes and looking around. When his eyes fell on the sleeping princess he could only smile, brushing hair away from her face as he gently kissed the top of her head making her wake up with a flutter of her eyes. "Morning cutie. How'd you sleep?" He asked letting out a small laugh at her blush as she hid her face in his chest, giving a mumble. "I'm sorry I didn't quiet catch that." He teased

"I haven't slept this well in ages." She answered when she looked up finding only a bright smile back at her. "Though I may need a reminder of last night..." She added looking up shyly at the man waiting for his response.

"Oh naughty girl, I think I can do that." He said rolling so he'd be on top kissing her neck and trailing his hands down her sides.

The group were waiting in the hall wondering what was taking Celestia and Jack so long to arrive. "Where could she be?" Twilight asked. But Luna just looked away as she smiled since she had to raise the sun when Celestia didn't so either she was dead asleep which rarely happens or kidnapped and Luna could guess which reason was the good choice.

As the noise started to pick up the door to the hall burst open revealing a positively glowing Celestia who walked to her seat with a bounce in her step followed by a slightly limping Jack. "Sorry we were late everypony. Jack and I stayed up a little to late last night on the date." She answered singing a tune to herself as she began wolfing down the pancakes placed by a servant.

Cadance and Luna stared at her wide-eyed looking between her and Jack. "Sooooo how went your night?" Luna asked making everyone look to the solar monarch. Jack chuckled and excused himself taking a plate of food with him so that he wouldn't interfere. The second the doors closed Luna slammed her hands on the table. "Ok spill! What's he like, what did he do, how long did he last?" She grilled having Cadance and Rarity leaning into the ruler with burning stares.

"A literal godsend in the bedroom, satisfied everything I needed, and I believe we went for almost an hour last night and double that this morning." Celestia listed with dopey smile and drooling slightly. "He never forced me to do something I wouldn't want to and found every spot." She said, a hand trailing down her body but stopping when she remembered where she was.

"How big." Spike asked leaning into the table his claws slightly scratching it with how tight his grip was.

Celestia turned to him with a wide grin. "Little advice for you all. Stretch before the date." She simply said making everyone blush.

Back at Jack's room he heard a knock after finishing his food. On opening the door showed a small maid who squeaked when he looked down at her. "Um terribly sorry to bother you but um ughhhh..." She tried to get but letting fear shut her up.

He leaned down so they were eye level and started petting her head which she seemed to really like. "It's ok dear don't be afraid, what did you need to tell me?" He asked after she had calmed down.

"Oh um well Sir Shining wished to see you in the training field for something he wouldn't say what though." She replied with a bow.

"Thank you, I'll be down there in a few minutes. Can you tell him that?" He said, the mare nodding and walking away with a slight skip in her step.

Jack closed the door and threw on some clothes he had brought that he wouldn't mind getting dirty and heading out for the yard. On arriving he found four different guards and Shining . "Hey there you called for me." Jack said waving his hand as he got closer.

Just as he got close enough to see the eyes of Shining an instinct in his head scream something that will haunt his dreams.

"Dodge!"

Diving to the side narrowly missing the bolt of energy shot at him as he summoned a shield to guard against blasts he began moving running around the group finding one of the weird looking guards missing. "So a test huh. Well lets see what you boys can do." He thought as he shifted his angle to charge the group who got in defensive positions. Dodging another blast from his left he reached the group and shot a blast of energy from his hand. The blast threw the guards around except for the hulking behemoth that was clad in silver armor and demon like helmet.

The monster of a stallion raised its great sword and with a cry charged Jack swinging downward forcing Jack to jump away. The giant shouted a battle cry charging Jack again surprising him with how agile he was. Jack gave a kick to push the man away before turning and bending back to dodge a scythe being swung at him. Thinking quick he grabbed the weapon, sending a kick into the hooded figures chest knocking it down revealing a female face

"Oh come on not even a broken rib." He whined in annoyance when she swung again at him but being pushed when the large guy slammed into her.

"He will be my kill!" He shouted swinging the sword again at Jack who was now decently annoyed. Jack caught the blade, making magic protect his hands and swung with the angle to throw the giant away.

Just as he was catching his breath a whip wrapped around his leg and flung him to the sky and back into the ground . "Ah son of a bitch." He wheezed, feeling pissed off now. He looked to where the attack came from. The whip was being wielded by a mare in red armor and hair that seemed like it was on fire.

She cooed flicking her wrist causing the whip to drag him across the floor into the side of the wall.

Looking up he saw her getting ready to slice him. "Oh hell no!" He growled, grabbing the whip as it came down and pulled bringing the weirdo closer to him connecting his fist to her face. As he got back up more shots pinged around him making him look up to see a Pegasus with two crossbows firing magic projectiles at him. "Fuck off already you little shit!" He shouted up to the the flyer, firing off shots hitting the ones coming for him and nicking the flyers wing bring it down.

The others quickly surrounded him slowly stepping closer when it clicked. "Seriously, y'all are annoying the hell out of me." He grunted.

"Yep, the best guards in all of Equestia will do that!" Shining shouted from the side lines clapping at the show. "And I just gave them the order to beat the living shit out of you." He added with a laugh

"Oh that does it." Jack spat out looking to the four getting closer. "Fine, you want to play rough! I'll show you fucking rough!" He shouted feeling his body shift and change, warping into beast form making the four pause and watch. When he finished he looked up his brown eyes now blood red. "Play times over." The twisted voice of Jack said charging into the largest, knocking him over as he took the stallion's arm into his mouth and shook him around tearing the armor off revealing it was a fake limb.

The one with the scythe tried to get Jack off by swinging her scythe in Jack's back but found the blade couldn't pierce past the bone spikes across his body. Jack's tail wrapped around the assailant's leg lifting her up and slamming her into the ground till there was a crack as the tail tightened and snapped her leg.

The last two went to either side of Jack hitting or firing shots hoping to find a weak point but only getting him more angry as he caught the whip and swung her into the shooter knocking him out of the air. "Submit." Came the voice from the beast form as it stepped on the whip user slowly applying pressure, crushing her under his weight.

"N...never!" She yelled scratching with her clawed gloves at his leg doing little damage. The pressure increased making her back pop and creak till finally she shouted. " I yield!" The pressure immediately left as Jack walked back turning into his original form scowling at the battered group.

"Why did you have this test?" He said glaring to the approaching Shining who had his hands up in a sign of peace.

"Well partly brotherly love and seeing if the guy my sister likes can protect her." He said.

Jack looked to the battered group then back at Shining. "Well did I pass?" He asked with a shrug.

Shining shook his head with a smile. "Yeah, you passed." He replied.
