Author's Note

Sorry for not updating this story for so long, the multiverse arc just forced me into a corner. As for the heat season I am hoping to get it all done in one large chapter for those that aren't really interested in reading clop but if I feel I am going too slow I may chop it up into several chapters if I feel it is nessacary

chapter 51 heat

{3d person POV}

A few months had passed since the porta incident and several small things had happened, like the town restoration was finished. With the leftover materials, suggested by the princesses, Spyro began building a new house on the edge of the farm where we have very few trees due to the soil just not being able to support their growth. Not far from it was a barn, quite a bit smaller than our other one but a bit wider. He plans mostly to use it for storage since with the puppets the amount of apples they can harvest has drastically.

But now lets us focus on the present. The sun had just started to creep over the horizon as Bigmac trotted out of the farmhouse wearing a large saddle bag. He looked left and right to make sure he was alone before he started walking deeper into the rank where the apple trees began to grow closer together helping in stay out of sight. Once he walked a little deeper, he saw his father Bright Mac waiting for him. He wore a saddle bag much like Big mac’s.

“Where’s Spyro?” Asked Bight mac as he looked around. “And did your mother and sister notice you leaving?”

Big mac shook his head. “Nope.” He said before he looked back to his father, just before a tree near them started rustling. The two took a step back in surprise just before Spyro jumped down from it.

“I’m here dad, so you two bring everything?” Spyro asked as he looked at the two. His dad opened one of the saddlebags showing it was filled with bottles of water, and food, Bigmac opened his showing the same.

“We grabbed what we could, I can't believe Heat season is starting early it's not even hearts warming eve yet, how is this even possible?” Asked Bright mac in a hushed tone. Spyro nodded his head in agreement before he spoke.

“I don't know but I heard something from twilight about some kinda magical event that, oh how did she put it Ummm, purifies the natural magic of the world every few thousand years or something maybe that has something to do with it. The unicorns in town have been finding it a little difficult to properly control their magic.” Spyro said as he scratched under his jaw.

Big mac only shrugged before their father spoke. “And what about you Spyro, is your magic acting strange?” He asked. Spyro shook his head.

“No, I've been doing fine, in fact even since that portal accident I've never been in more control.” He said smiling before he lifted one of his back feet and kicked the apple tree behind him knocking down a brown sack. Spyro pulled it in front of him before he opened it. “And I got all the entertainment we’ll need while we hid out, board games, books, and even some of those new electronic games that have started coming out lately.” He said showing them what was in the sack.

“Great, so where are we going to hide one, maybe your tunnels?” Asked Bright mac. Spyro shook his head.

“No, from what I heard last year a few groups hid down there and had no means of escape after they got found. I've got a little bunker where the farm and everfree meet.” He told the two who grinned, even with his puppets patrolling, the ponies of the town were still weary of venturing near the forest so it was the perfect place.

“So we get there.” Bright mac started.

“And we’re home free.” Spyro finished with a grin on his face. “Wait, did either of you grab anything to sleep with?” Spyro asked, the two stallion eyes widden before they started looking worried. “And I didn't bring anything either this is bad. Alright, you two go on ahead and get to the bunker while I grab the three of us blankets.” Spyro told them.

“Bad idea.” Said Big mac.

“Yeah the sun’s about to come up and if you're in the house while.” Bright mac started but Spyro stopped him.

“I only have Applejack to deal with, I don't think mom would ever even consider sleeping with me, either though we’re not blood-related, plus I'm the only one of us with wings so I can get away much easier.” He explained, after a moment of weighing their options it seemed they didn't have much choice.

{Spyro POV}

“Alright, I have a few puppets guarding the bunker so it shouldn't be too hard to miss, after getting in you have to close and lock the entrance from the inside. If I don't arrive by noon, I'm likely either hiding somewhere else or, well you can guess the second one.” I told the two with a nervous laugh before I scratched out my wings and flew off toward the farmhouse. I flew just below the tree line just in case a few pegasus mares decided to get up early to go out looking for stallions.

It took no time at all to get to the farmhouse, but it seemed a little too quiet for my liking. I quietly made my way to the back of the house spotting the window to mine, and Applejack's room. WIth a single leap I made it to the second-story window, then looked inside. Applejack was no where to be seen.

“Seems she’s already up.” I muttered to myself as I slowly entered the room careful not to make any noise I looked around seeing my dresser. At this point, I was on top of the bed then I put on one of my front feet making a quiet creaking sound. My entire boy froze at that sound just waiting for Applejack to burst through the door, and tackle me, but it never happened.

I breathed a sigh of relief thinking that everypony was out of the house, so I jumped off the bed. But as soon as all my feet were on the wooden floor, several of the floorboards were ripped up from the floor exposing a dark green chain that tied my feet together before lifting me off the floor. I swung upside down as I tried to break free from the chains I even breath a shoot of lighting at the green chains but nothing.

“Sorry, you're not getting out of those chains partner.” Said a very familiar voice making me freeze, before I heard the creaking sound of the door opening slowly. “They were a gift from the princesses. You're such a bad dragon, running off while your mare is in heat Tsk tsk tsk.” I slowly spun around to see Applejack standing in the doorway with a grin on her face.

“Hey Applejack, I wasn't running away I was uh.” I said nervously but I couldn't say any more than that. Applejack walked into the room before she closed and locked the door behind her.

“Mom has taken Applebloom and Granny to town so they can spend heat season quietly in a hotel, that means we have the house to ourselves for now, so.” She said as we were face to face. “We are going to spend some quality time together.” She said with a lustful grin and I could only gulp.
