I woke up the next morning with Keria’s wing draped over me. Seeing that she wasn’t awake yet, I snuck out from under her wing. Careful not to wake her up, I was pretty slow getting out of bed. Looking around the room, it was pretty nice. The bed was pretty large, I’d say it was King or Queen sized. There was a dresser, but the only clothes inside it were the butler suit I was allowed to keep and my cloak. There was also a door that lead into the master bathroom.

“I should go ahead and take a shower,” I thought, walking into the bathroom. Fortunately, there was already a few towels in there. Lighting up my horn, I turned on the shower and waited for the water to heat up.


Upon getting out of the shower, I levitated a towel over. While I was drying off, I learned that hard way that I had to be careful with the wings. It just felt so weird and unusual when anything touched them. Deciding that I would just use heat magic to dry off in the future, I left the bathroom. Closing the door behind me, I noticed that Keria was already out of bed and was stretching, limbs and wings, beside the bed. When she was done, she noticed me and gave me a whole-hearted smile.

“Morning Hubbie,” she greeted, walking over and hugging me with her wings.

“Hubbie? I guess it’s alright,” I thought, though it made me feel weird. Then Keria gave me a surprise peck on the cheek, making me blush a little.

“Why don’t ya go ahead and take a shower? I’ll make coffee in the meantime,” I proposed.

“Sure,” she agreed, unwrapping me out of her wings. “See you in a bit,” then she went into the bathroom.

I left the room, entering the second-floor hall. The room door was in the middle, so it went both ways from where I was. One way lead down stairs, the other lead to the spiral staircase leading up the tower. I turned to go downstairs, into the living room.

The living room was Semi-big and felt pretty empty because all that was in it was a bookshelf, a table that was a few yards in front of it, and the three couches around the table. Making a mental note to get something for the empty space, I proceeded to the kitchen.

The Kitchen wasn’t as good as the ones in Canterlot castle, but I wouldn’t say it was exactly average either. Two of the walls were made of reinforced diamond glass that is frost resistant, allowing occupants to enjoy the view during meals. The floors were a night back colored tile and the table set was made out of pristine white marble. The cabinets and countertops were made out of dark oak wood, all of which was polished too.

I went over to the coffee machine on the counter and got it started. I stood there and waited as my ears were massaged by the gentle, gentle sound of the steamy water dripping into the coffee grounds. As the coffee dripped into the to, my nose was assaulted with its call for attention. Of course, I was more than happy to answer its call when it was full.

Lighting up my horn, I levitated two mugs out of the cabinets. Leaving one upside down on the counter for Keria, I proceeded to fill mine up. Personally, I was never really a fan of black coffee. Too strong for my taste. So I made it one-third milk and a spoonful of sugar. When I was done, I levitated the caffeinated beverage with me to the table.

I sipped about one-third of my coffee when Keria entered the Kitchen. Looking at her, I noticed her shiver for a moment from what little water the towel couldn’t absorb. Lighting up my horn, I cast the heating spell on Keria. After a few seconds, she was dry and warm again.

“Mmm ...thanks Hubbie,” she told me before heading over to the coffee machine. She didn’t add anything to her beverage. She’s a tough girl, despite her soft personality. When she took a seat, I cleared my throat.

“No problem,” I told her. “Also, please don’t call me that in public,” I requested. She let out a playful whine.

“Why not?” she asked, taking a sip of her coffee.

“You’ll probably kill me with the embarrassment,” I pointed out. At this point, my coffee was cooled down, so I downed the remainder of it. “Anyway, have any plans today?”

“Actually, Rarity asked me to go over to her Boutique to help her with something and Twilight wanted me to hang out with her later,” she answered.

“Well, if you are doing that, then I predict that your day is going to be pretty busy,” I pointed out.

“Seems so,” she agreed, already finishing her coffee. I levitated our mugs into the sink and started washing them from a distance. The Idea of hooves free cleaning almost made me chuckle.

Then, I felt something nudge against one of my hooves. Looking down, I saw the Timber Wolf pup beneath me. “Good morning….” I began but realized that I haven’t thought of what to call him yet. “Kera, what do you think we should call him?” I asked, not looking away as I levitated him onto my lap. Keria hummed in thought.

“I’m not sure, but I think it should be something short,” she answered.

“How about Splinter?” I asked. The pup let out a whine. “I know. I know. I was only joking,” I teased him. It was nice to know that he could understand m though. “Okay, how about Fang?” I proposed. He wagged his tail quite excessively. “Alright, Fang it is.”

“Yeah, I like it,” Keria agreed. “Oh, by the way, what do you plan to do today?”

“I’m not sure,” I answered. “I guess I’ll head over to Twilight’s and see how she’s been. I should be done their before you’re done with Rarity. So I guess I might take a stroll through town or something afterword,” I added, still unsure. Keri glanced out the wall to check the sun.

“I best get going. The boutique should be opening soon,” she pointed out. I nodded in agreement.

“Yeah, I should get going too,” I added. We excuse ourselves and started on our way.

I walked up to Twilight’s door and knocked a few times. As I waited, I felt Fang rub up against one of my hooves. I thought that if I were to be able to bring him into town, the townsfolk would have to get used to seeing him while he’s still young. Don’t want them freaking out seeing a full-grown Timber Wolf.

When Spike opened the door, Fang must have gotten excited because he pounced on him. With Spike’s arms pinned, Fang started licking his cheeks as any other puppy would. I let out a few giggles.

“Come on, get him to stop,” Spike begged.

“Alright, come on Fang, that’s enough,” I called. He got off Spike and nudged Spike’s head with his muzzle a few times as I approached. Spike managed to get back onto his feet.

“Playful one ain’t he?” he asked, letting us in.

“Well, I’d say it’s more like he’s more affectionate than playful,” I answered.

“Anyway, I’m sure you’re here to see Twilight,” he guessed. I nodded. “I’ll go get her. Make yourself at home,” he added as he left to go upstairs.

Fang followed me as I made my way to the couch. We both took a seat to wait. Looking down on the table, I noticed a book. I levitated it over to see what it was. Looking it over, I found that it was a spell tome for electricity. It looked like a newer version of the one I saw at the library in Canterlot Castle.

“Maybe I should check this out,” I muttered, putting the book back down.

“Good morning Spirit,” I heard Twilight greet as she came from behind the couch.

“Good morning Twilight,” I greeted back. “I thought I would see how things were going. I never got to say this but I’m impressed you got the library back to how it was after Discord brought the roof down,” I admitted. She let out a giggle.

“Well, it wasn’t easy,” she told me, taking a seat on the couch. Fang yipped and jumped onto her lap. “This little guy is actually pretty cute,” she added as Fang rubbed against her stomach. “What’s his name?” she asked as she started to rub a hoof on Fang’s back.

“He seems to like Fang,” I answered. Fang let out another yip in what I assumed was in agreement.

“Fang? I like it,” she commented. Looking back up at me, she asked: “What are you planning to do today?”

“Honestly, I’m not sure,” I answered.

“Well, I’m pretty sure Pinkie would appreciate some help,” she told me. Though, I found it a little suspicious.

“Fuck it,” I thought. I wasn’t busy or anything. “I’ll bite,” I told her. “What does she need help with?” I asked.

“She didn’t say what specifically, she only said that it was business at the Silent Tavern,” she reported. I let out a heavy sigh.

“Alright, I’ll go see what’s up. Though I do have a favor to ask” I added. Twilight’s ears perked up. “I would appreciate it if I could borrow that spell tome sometime,” I requested, getting off the couch. Twilight grinned at me.

“Sure thing,” she replied. Fang hopped off her lap to join me.

“I’ll be sure to come by later to pick it up,” I added as Fang and I made for the exit.
