Chapter Six: Father’s Misinformation

(Chrysalis’ POV, The Hive)

“What are your plans, Mark?” the human better have an idea or I might just drain him and take my chances. He also loves his human form. I almost never see him in his natural changeling body. “And quit pacing in front of the bed already and lay down.” He stopped, turned to me, and with a roll of his eyes walked over to “his” side of the bed and climbed in. I was already laying down, so it was just a short scoot over to rest part of myself on him. With one hind leg over his waist area, a front hoof gently stroking his chest, and a soothing girly voice was a surefire way to turn on the charm. He didn’t say anything right off, just kept up the pouting face he’s been showing for the past few days. I’ve been getting to know him over the past few weeks and this wasn’t normal for him. And it was time I found out what’s been bugging him. Besides me that is. So, with a hoof gently stroking his chest, I leaned my head toward his to put on my best charm, “Now Mark, what’s been troubling you? Over the past few days, you’ve done nothing but pout.”

After a few minutes of silence, he sighed finally saying, “It’s Christmas back home, or was rather. My son and I would be celebrating new year’s day right now and that was after the Christmas holidays. It was always the best time for us.”

“Is it anything like Hearth’s Warming?”

He looked over at me with sadness in his eyes, “Yes, nearly exactly like it, but with some cultural differences.”

“Is that what’s gotten you so down? Because he’s not with you during this time?” I cooed at him while rubbing my hoof against his opposite cheek in order to turn his head toward me. “I ask because the sooner you take care of those princesses and the Elements of his, the quicker he’ll be by your side again.”

“I know, I know,” he answered a little testily before calming down again. “I just don’t know how to make him believe...” Then he just stopped and looked off into the distance as if thinking about something. “I think I have an idea.”

“What is it?”

He grew a smirk on his face while he explained. “One thing we can do is start a misinformation campaign.”

“I don’t understand.”

He turned to me fully, now with a mischievous grin on his face that I kind of liked. “The general public is pretty stupid and will believe almost what you put in front of their faces. Governments, including ours, have used the mass media to make them believe whatever the government wants them to believe.”

“And how will that help us?” My rear hoof rested around his waist and pulled him closer to me. He didn’t protest as my other hoof pulled his upper body closer to me.

“If we turn the general public against the princesses then it might make it easier on us.”

“I like it,” I cooed at him pulling him against me. “There are some benefits that your world has to offer.” Then my lips met his while rolling him over where I was on top. “And now let me give you something.”

(Emmit’s POV, a week after Hearth’s Warming, Canterlot throne room)

It was morning court and I had decided to stay in my human form for a while. Yes I had some shorts on, but no shirt. Wanted to go commando today to freak everypony out that came today. Especially the nobles, which I just got done with one. It was the usual excuse of I need money to do something to my plot of land. But because of how I looked and how all his reasons weren’t working on me, the meeting didn’t last long. After the pony was gone, I stepped down from the throne with a frustrated groan and walked over to Mister Note. “Alright, let’s see if we can’t streamline this a little,” he looked up to me with curiosity on his face as I walked down the steps to him. “How many on the list is nobles with bs requests and how many are honest ponies with actual needs?”

Mister Note was a decent pony that always wanted to do his job well. Which is why I thought that he would normally have that information for me. He hummed a little while looking over his list. “Let’s see, there are four nobles waiting. And if memory serves, they still have the same requests as they did before. One still wanting a second pool, another wants money for an add-on to their mansion, another wants permission to expand the property and taking over a small business’ property, and the last one wants a noise exemption.”

“Noise exemption?” I looked down to him in total confusion. “Just what the heck would they need that for?” He shrugged his shoulders. “Oh well, let’s just dismiss those nobles telling each of them a flat out no.”

“Yes, Sire,” he told me marking them off.

“What would be the first one after those nobles?” I asked, now looking down at the pad in his magical grasp.

“That would be a tenant dispute between Miss June and Miss Flower,” he told me while I lifted my head nodding to the guard for him to bring them in. While Mister Note continued with the case history the guard opened the door letting the two mares in. “Miss June is the property holder and claiming that Miss Flower is refusing to leave. Miss Flower claims that she was invited to stay and never told her to leave.”

A younger unicorn mare appeared to be a little older than Rarity and the girls with a lithe body like Rarity’s store helper Sassy Saddles. Her light blue coat and maroon mane and tail make her an attractive package. An older earth pony mare looked to be middle-aged with a brown coat and off-white mane and tale. Both of them walked up and stopped at the base of the stairs, but only the younger mare bowed low. The older one did not. So, I wanted to hear from the younger one first.

“Young miss? Your name?” I asked but before she could answer the older mare spoke first.

“Stem Flower, she invited me in-”

“Madam, I wasn’t speaking to you, please wait your turn,” my voice was hard and shift with a little bit of a glare at her letting her know without any doubt that she screwed up. When I was sure that she wasn’t going to interrupt again, I looked to the younger mare which was obviously Miss June at this point.

“Thank you, Sire,” her voice was soft but filled with respect, unlike the other mare. “Early June, Sire. I am the owner of the property. Flower was a friend of the family that said she was having a hard time and needed a place to stay for about a week. So, I agreed, but-”

“You see she invited me in,” Flower interrupted again looking smug.

“Miss Flower, one more interruption out of you, and I will tape your mouth shut,” this time I glared at her. I was quickly losing my patience with this older mare. We kept eye contact and it was satisfying to see her eyes widen when it appeared that I really would do it. And I would too. “Go on, Miss June.”

“Thank you,” she nodded her head. “I did initially invite her in out of the kindness of my heart. That was with the understanding that she would seek out another place to stay. She does have a part-time job and one time I changed the locks to keep her out after the time was up and she refused to leave, but she broke back in. Even if I allowed her to stay she would need to pay rent and she’s refusing to do even that.”

I held up a hand to stop her now that I’ve got a pretty good picture as to what was going on. “I think I got a pretty good picture here,” I looked to them. Then focused on Miss Flower. “Miss Flower, I know you were hoping that you would be subject to some form of tenant’s rights or something.” Flower looked up at me with a smile that was quickly fading fast as I continued. “That may, may mind you, have been the case with a regular court. But you are with me now and it’s my word that supersedes any other court in Equestria. It is clear to me that you have no respect for her and her request to leave because you haven’t had any of that respect for me or this court. Not only did you not show respect for me as she did, but you kept on interrupting. And it’s clear that you want to mooch off this young mare so you can have an easy life. That’s not going to happen.” I was stepping down while I was talking to her making her eyes widen the closer I got. Now I leaned my head down close to her. “I’m ordering you out of her house by the end of tomorrow. If you don’t comply then she has my permission to call the local authorities to have them drag you out and charge you with trespassing. Even if that doesn’t work then all she has to do is call me and I will drag you out by your mane. Am I being perfectly clear Miss Flower?”

With her ears splayed back against her head, her eyes wide, and looking at me in shock told me that she finally has understood what her position really is. She looked up at me squeaking out a soft, “Yes, Sire.”

With a firm nod, I dismissed them with a firm, “Good.” Then turned to Miss June, “Hope you have a good day and hope this settles it.”

“Thank you, Sire,” Miss June bowed to me again with a thankful smile on her face, then turned and walked toward the door. Miss Flower finally did bow to me, didn’t say anything, and with a defeated look on her face turned and followed June to the door.

Meanwhile, I turned around with a long sigh and a shake of my head, “I so dislike moochers.” Then my eyes looked down to Mister Note, “What case is next?”

Looking down to the list, “Actually that’s the only case, but there is a reporter, unicorn mare, from the Canterlot Times apparently set up an appointment with the court.”

I was in disbelief. “Really?” He nodded. “Is that unusual?” I asked.

“It is a little bit unusual, yes, Sire, but not illegal or unethical,” he told me.

“That gets me thinking that this mare wants some one on one time hoping to get something good,” I mused while thinking it over. It would be interesting to see what this mare wanted. And it would be solely out of dire curiosity that I would let her in. With a nod to him, I turned around sat down on the throne and sat in the most regal pose I could think of. A stern face with my hands resting on the armrests, which I found odd being a pony’s throne, and feet flat in front of me.

Mister Note nodded to the guard, “Please let the reporter in.” With that one of the doors opened letting in a unicorn mare in her late thirties maybe. Body build similar to Sassy Saddles that was gray coated with a white mane and tail. Bright green eyes though. Right after she walked in she paused for just a second when she saw me, as if surprised to find me here. Her eyes had hesitation in them for another second or two before steeling her nerves making her way up to me.

“Sire,” she said after a bow, “would you answer some questions?”

“Depending on the questions, sure,” I told her, though cautious about what they were.

She lifted a pencil and notebook in her magical grasp before she asked, “Are you aware that another creature like you came to us asking about you?”

“What?!” that news got me to stand up and walk down to her.

She got a little nervous, evident because of the look on her face and her voice shaking slightly. “Um...yes, sire. He walked on two legs just like you, said he was your father, and then told us some pretty unbelievable things.”

“Like?”

“Well,” she looked down at the notebook, “things like Celestia and Luna are actually Chrysalis and her drones that have brainwashed you into believing that they really are Celestia and Luna. That he is the one that has the real Celestia and Luna. And that he is working with the real Celestia and Luna to return them to the throne.”

After sitting down on the steps in front of her, I sighed with a hand to my face, “That son of a bitch.”

“Sire?” she questioned.

I looked past her to one of the guards at the door, “Go get me the Solar Captain please.” The guard saluted and left the room. Then I turned toward the reporter, “Ok, that other creature that looks like me. He’s my father that was pulled into this world into the form of a changeling by Chrysalis and the same pony that created the runes that resurrected my dead mother. It is well known that I was able to save my mother and destroy the organization. However, that pony got away and worked with Chrysalis to do the same to my father that he did with my mother. You following me so far?”

His face was scrunched up in thought, “I believe so.”

“Alright. After they pulled my father’s soul into the body of a changeling drone, Chrysalis started brainwashing him. They brainwashed him into thinking that the princesses are evil and keeping me captive and he needs to save me. He first showed up at the Crystal Kingdom during the Crystalling.”

“So, you’re saying that the creature, being your father, is a changeling?” she questioned with her face scrunched up as if trying to follow what I was saying.

“Correct. And because he’s been brainwashed into helping Chrysalis, that’s what he’s doing now. He also led multiple changeling drones into the Crystal Kingdom during the Crystalling.”

“So, why come to us and say this then?” she asked. “I’m confused.”

“This was probably his idea,” I mused in thought as the doors opened letting in the Solar Captain. “He’s probably started a misinformation campaign. Spreading lies in order to get the general public confused about who’s who.”

“Sire?” the Solar Captain saluted.

“Good, thank you for coming,” I saluted back. “My father is out and about in this city or others. What I want you to do is send a report out to all Equestrian authorities to look out for him and take him into custody. And tell all journals and newspapers across the country to refuse anything he says.”

The Solar Captain nodded, “If he refuses to come?” Yeah, I knew what he was really asking.

With a sigh, I looked to him with a regretful resolve on my face, “Use lethal only at the very last resort. Only if you have no other choice. I want to try and save him if I can.”

He saluted with a nod, “Understood, Sire.”

“Thank you,” I told him, saluting back where he then turned and left me with the reporter again. “What I want you to do, is go back and write an article warning all other newspapers and journalists to not believe anything that a creature like me claiming to be my father says, alright?”

“Yes, sire,” she acknowledged, wrote it down, and then left the room.

“Mister Note, cancel the rest of today, I need to speak to Tia and Luna about this and probably go to Ponyville.” I looked over to him as he stepped down, “To be safe, I’ll probably tell them to not leave the castle today.”

“Understood, Sire,” he said putting the parchment away.

“Thank you, Mister Note,” I gave him a thankful smile. Then got up making my way over to Tia’s room.

^_^

Tia was laying on the bed with little Solar playing with strands of her mane. Tia gave me a big smile as I walked in. “Is court over already?” she asked looking a little confused.

With a smirk and a nod of my head, I laid down on the bed facing her giving a kiss to little Solar on her head. “It didn’t last long after dismissing the nobles. There was only one legitimate case and the other was a reporter.”

The slight shake of her head and the smirk on her face told me that she was amused by it. “I’ve tried that a few times and none of the nobles liked it. The times I did, they retaliated by trying to veto or vote down some of my decrees.”

I shrugged as my daughter giggled and went back to playing with Tia’s mane. “Don’t care, let them do it and have it stand on their voting record. But the big news was with the reporter.”

“Oh?”

“Yes. My father is on the move again.” She looked up at me, worry on her face. “He’s started a misinformation campaign. Spreading lies through the press that you and Luna are Chrysalis and a drone and that he is the one with the real Celestia and Luna. I’ve already told the Solar Captain to let every authority within this nation have him captured if at all possible. Plus let every newspaper and journalist know not to listen to anything he has to say.”

She sighed then leaned over kissing me lightly on the lips. “I suppose that’s the only thing you can do.”

“Almost, there is one more thing I can do.”

“What’s that?”

I gave her a look that showed my worry and firm resolve, “Ask you to not leave the castle for the time being. And have two guards with you at all times.”

She lowered her eyes to watch little Solar for about a minute or two before speaking again. “Alright”

“Thank you, honey,” I kissed her softly. “I can tell you don’t like it, but you don’t know him as I do. He will go to any length, and I mean any length, to do what Chrysalis wants. What he did was a human technique. And nothing is stopping him from telling Chrysalis about some of the techniques that human terrorists use either.”

“I hope it doesn’t come to that,” she whispered with concern in her eyes.

“Me too and I want to tell Luna the same thing. Then I want to head over to Ponyville to make sure the other girls are alright,” I said to her.

“That I understand,” she said before looking back up to me as if she just realized something. “He went to the newspaper himself?”

“Yes, he did. That’s why I want to check up on the girls in Ponyville.”

“Alright, be safe,” she told me before I kissed her passionately then left her room to head to Luna’s.

^_^

Luna was asleep when I quietly walked in. And it was a nice view too. After tiptoeing up to her bed, I let my eyes roam over her body. She was laying on her back with her front and hind legs spread eagle before me. Her head was tilted to the side on the pillow. I decided to let her sleep. And after writing her a quick note explaining everything to her, I left it on the bed on the other pillow. Kissed her lightly on the cheek whispering how much I loved her and then left for the Wonderbolt’s Academy to check up on Rainbow.

^_^

Luckily, the Wonderbolt Academy wasn’t that far from the castle. And it was lunch time, so after getting there I walked over to where Spitfire was on the ground directing her team hoping that they would break for lunch. I was in my fox form as I approached her. She was in her uniform standing on the other side of the runway across from the mare’s side of the barracks.

“Hi, Spitfire, how are you, the team, and Rainbow?” I asked her stepping up to her with a wide smile.

“Hey, Emmit,” she greeted with a smile, then grinned with a wink at me. “Come to give us mare’s a show? Or better yet, a massage?”

I gave her a smirk of my own, “Well that all depends on whether or not you mares are going to take a shower before going for lunch? I’m kind of here to check up on and talk with Rainbow.”

“Well, we are fixing to break for lunch and yes we normally take a shower before doing so,” she mused in thought. I did like the mischievous look in her eyes she gave me. “Maybe we can convince Rainbow to have sex with you in the shower with us?”

“We can try,” I gave her a wink.

With her wing, she took the whistle bringing it up to her lips giving it a long loud blow. “Front and center team!” Rainbow, Surprise, Misty Fly, Soarin, and Fleetfoot landed in front of us. My eyes were only on Rainbow. She took a few glances at me after she landed giving me the smallest of smiles while still paying close attention to Spitfire. “Alright team, let’s head to the showers and break for lunch. We’ll return in two hours.”

“Yes!” Soarin threw up a hoof in celebration and took off without another word from Spitfire.

I had to chuckle at that with a shake of my head. Especially hearing Spitfire shout out toward him, “You’re dismissed, Soarin.” The rest of the girls laughed and giggled at his antics. “Alright girls,” she addressed them with a growing mischievous grin, “let’s all go take a shower, but before that, I’ve got a little request for Rainbow.”

Rainbow looked over to her, not realizing what she was fixing to be asked. Surprise and curiosity were etched on her face because I think it’s a little odd for Spitfire to request anything from anypony. The look on Rainbow’s face was priceless when Spitfire stepped up to her and whispered into her ear about having sex in front of them with me. Her face showed shock with a deep blush quickly growing while I nodded to her slightly with lust-filled eyes. Her mouth hung open with her eyes wide and staring at me as Spitfire backed up.

I stepped up to her, putting my cheek against hers to whisper into her ear. “Let’s do it, Rainbow. I’ll be in my human form with my hands all over your body with it lathered with soap and water.”

“I’ve never done anything like that,” she whispered back, her voice told of her nervousness about the idea. “I don’t know.”

“Does the thought of it make you feel extremely nervous? Make your heart pound in your chest?”

She nodded a little and whispered, “Yes.”

“That’s part of the thrill and excitement, Rainbow,” I whispered back. “It will also make your orgasm that much more intense with the girls watching.”

“You think so?”

“I think so,” I whispered into her ear again then took a couple of deep kisses against her neck letting them linger there. She leaned into me and my ears picked up a very soft moan as my lips rubbed her neck.

“Alright, let’s go,” she suddenly said standing up straight looking toward Spitfire. Spitfire turned around after a quick nod leading the girls toward the mare’s showers. Rainbow and I trailed behind them walking side by side with a couple of tails around her. She didn’t protest as my tails pulled her against me. The adrenaline was already flowing at just the thought of Spitfire and the other two girls watching Rainbow and I going at it. Only I would take it a step further and undress Rainbow myself.

I think she got that idea after we stepped through the door because my form changed into my human form. My member was already at half-mast as I followed Rainbow to her locker.

Fleetfoot was the first to speak up while Misty Fly and Surprise were too shocked to speak, “Um...Spits?”

“Go ahead and get undressed girls,” she said undressing out of her uniform next to us. “We’re going to get a show in the showers.”

I stopped Rainbow with a hand against her head. She looked up to me, not sure why I stopped her. Until my hands gently grabbed her, lifted her up, and placed her back against her locker. She was almost eye to eye with me now. As our eyes met, and my heart pounding in my chest, I took the front zipper in my fingers slowly unzipping it. She was blushing beet red as her front hooves gripped my shoulders to support herself standing on her hind legs. When the zipper reached the end, the uniform was loose just enough for me to take a quick rub of her nethers.

The look in her eyes were intense and filled with lust as she kept her eyes locked onto mine. Her mouth hung open as she felt my hands slide up her lithe form, parting her uniform off her body. It was satisfying to see her wings rise in arousal. And the feel of her heartbeat pounding in her chest. And my ears picking up her loud sigh after sliding her front hooves out of her uniform, one after another. I still don’t know how, but the rest of the uniform fell off of her and down to her waist even with stiff wings.

I could feel the girl’s eyes on us as I stepped back letting Rainbow down. Her hooves rubbed down my chest as she slowly lowered herself to the floor. Her hooves rubbed down my stomach with her lips taking a quick kiss against the head of my stiff member before standing on all fours again. She turned her rump to me letting me kneel down, grasp the rest of her uniform with my hands, and pull it slowly off of her. My hands gripped and rubbed her hind legs as she stepped out of it.

“That is the hottest thing I’ve ever seen,” Misty Fly whispered as I stood up again.

Without a word, Rainbow started walking past me. Her wing brushing up against my hard member slowly before she used her tail to wrap itself around my shaft. And pulled me into the showers on the other side of the wall. The other girls followed behind us. She pulled me to one of the faucets in the middle, so we would be surrounded. Once there I took her in my hands and lifted her up so her front hooves were against the wall. And her head was directly under the faucet. Leaning down against her, my chest was almost against her back with the feathers of her wings tickling me. One hand reached the wall and slowly turned on the water. And as the water started pouring down her head and neck, I leaned my head forward and whispered, “Let me do everything, Rainbow. Moan my name to them as my hands roam over your body.”

Her tail wrapped around my waist after she closed her eyes letting the water run down her body. While taking the shampoo in my hands, I took a quick glance at the other girls. Spitfire was next to us staring intently while leaning against the wall. Her eyes filled with lust as those intense orbs latched onto my hard shaft.

Surprise gave us a surprise by laying herself down on the floor on the other side of Spitfire. Her hoof rubbing away at her lower lips, her eyes locked onto my hard shaft, and she was biting her lower lip trying to stay quiet.

“Oh I want those hands on me,” Fleetfoot moaned as water flowed over her body.

“Yeah,” Misty Fly moaned slightly as she used a hoof to rub against her own lower lips.

I had an idea, so after grabbing the shampoo I leaned back just enough to spread a good amount on her. All the way from her neck, down her back between her wings, and onto her rump. After moving her mane out of the way, I started lathering up her neck. Once her neck was covered in soap, it was the same with her back. Concentrating between her wings and getting a very nice moan out of her. One of the best parts was around her cutie marks area. My fingers dug into her coat eliciting a sigh of pleasure from her.

But after all that was done, now was the good part. I lowered myself just enough to get my hard member under between her legs where it rested against her lower lips. Leaning forward again, I used one hand to brace myself against the wall, placing my cheek against hers. The other was used to lay down a thick stream of shampoo down her front before putting it back on the shelf again. Now with the front of my body pressing up against her back, my free hand ran up and down her front. I wanted her front to be just as lathered as her back. Rainbow tilted her head to the side allowing me more room to kiss her neck while she moaned. I could feel her body quivering with the arousal and excitement of being watched. Her breathing was deep and quick. My lips could feel the pounding pulse just underneath her skin.

After lathering up her front, my free hand rubbed down her body until my hand pressed my hard member harder against her lower lips. She gasped long and loud while I guided my tip to her entrance.

(Spitfire’s POV)

My eyes were locked onto the sight before us. Emmit’s body was pressed up against Rainbow’s, while his free hand rubbed the front of her body, and while his lips kissed her neck he was slowly taking her. Her body was so aroused and filled with excitement that her wings were vibrating a little. My own body felt like the sun and I felt my nethers throbbing with need.

Surprise moaned loudly behind me, “Oh, I wish that was me.”

“Tell us how it feels, Rainbow,” Fleetfoot requested through a moan as she pleasured herself on the floor of the shower room.

Rainbow’s head tilted back in one long loud cry of pleasure as Emmit took her harder and faster. He was using his body to wash her back while his hand-washed her front. All while taking her, the sound of their bodies slapping together echoed slightly in the tiled shower room. When Rainbow finally spoke, her voice was low, soft, and filled with satisfying pleasure as she moaned out, “Soo bucking good.” She turned her head and quickly claimed Emmit’s mouth with her own, moaning her approval into his mouth as her body shook with each hard slap of his waist against hers.

My body felt like it was on fire as my eyes latched onto the sight in front of me. As the loud slapping sound of their sex echoed in the tiled shower room my mind returned to when he was washing me. The feeling of his tongue lapping at my lower nethers was making my lower lips throb with need. “Buck her, Emmit. Touch her, Emmit,” I heard myself in an almost commanding tone.

“Inside,” Rainbow gasped as her head snapped back her body suddenly climaxing hard, “INSIDE, BUCK ME!” Rainbow cried out so loud I feared she may have thrashed her voice. With one final hard thrust, he stopped with his lips on her shoulder. More than likely lightly biting on her shoulder. That is if the sound of his own moans and grunts were any indication. Rainbow’s body spasmed hard during her orgasm, nearly making my own body react in like manner as well. The other girls did the same one after another they cried out, or moaned, or sighed as their orgasms hit them.

I restrained myself, but only just while watching them come down from their sex high and lower themselves to the floor. Rainbow’s body laid in front of Emmit’s, twitching slightly in the afterglow with his arm around her. “Thanks for the show,” my voice was thick with need and lust as my eyes looked down at Emmit’s. “Come back after lunch, if you can Rainbow, if not then I understand. Now if you all will excuse me, I must take care of something.” Without another word, I turned around and while still dripping wet from the water, left the mare’s shower room, went outside, and walked right into the stallion’s shower room.

Soarin was the only one in the shower at the time and that was fine with me. I didn’t give him the chance to hardly know I was even there before I slammed him against the wall quickly claiming his mouth. He gave me a surprised muffled yelp before I stopped the kiss, leaning back, and lustfully glaring at him, “I’m your captain. And I’m giving you an order to put me against the wall and buck me so hard that I can’t walk straight.” To say he was shocked was an understatement, but there was also a look of excitement in his eyes as well. That all went away when I told him, “And you better last a lot longer than a few minutes, or so help me I’ll bite your cock off.”

He took a calming gulp before almost croaking out, “Yes, ma’am.”

He was quicker than I thought, I give him that. He spun me around, put my hooves against the shower wall, and quickly thrust his hard cock inside of me. And it wasn’t long before he was grunting and groaning in my ear. He was no Emmit, but maybe, just maybe, he can be good enough with some training. Emmit was out of reach, but Soarin wasn’t.

^_^

(Emmit’s POV, A couple of hours later in Ponyville)

It was a couple of hours later I was in Ponyville, back in my fox form, trotting up to Rarity’s boutique. By this time it was around lunchtime, so it was a good time to see if she, and possibly the rest of the girls, would go out for lunch. That way I could give them the news all at once. After noticing her boutique still open, I trotted in and started searching for her. I didn’t see them immediately, but I did hear them. And by what I heard it was good that I stopped by.

“Aww, but Rarity I’ve been getting better at cooking,” Sweetie Belle’s disappointed voice came whining out of the kitchen as I walked toward it. “See? The juice isn’t burned.”

I poked my head in to see Sweetie Belle standing in front of Rarity by the table. Orange juice was in a glass and actually looked like Orange juice. Rarity took a breath before letting out a patient sigh. “And that’s wonderful, darling, but I’m afraid that I’ll be cooking lunch.”

When Sweetie hung her head looking defeated, I thought it was a good time to intervene. “Unless you and the rest of the girls want to join me at the Hay Burger for lunch?” I asked stepping all the way in with a wide welcoming smile.

Both of their faces lit up when they saw me. “Emmit!” Sweetie was the first one to cry out and run around the table to tackle me to the floor.

I laughed a little as she tackled my side taking us to the floor and wrapping my front paw around her, “Hey Sweetie. You want to go to the Hay Burger for lunch?”

“Yeah!” she exclaimed excitedly while practically jumping on top of me.

Rarity smiled at me with a slight shake of her head at Sweetie’s antics. “That’s all well in good, but you would have to get off of him first,” she chastised sweetly while walking around the table and up to me.

“Oh, sorry,” Sweetie apologized, stepping down off of me.

That’s when Rarity walked up, leaned her head down, and gave me a slow lingering passionate kiss. “Hello, darling,” she cooed with her eyes half-lidded.

“Hi there,” wiggled my eyebrows at her making her blush. “So what do you say about having lunch at the Hay Burger? I need to tell you girls something and it would be better if all of them were present.”

“I supposed,” she relented to my request, “it’s not my usual fare, but if you insist. But what would you want to speak to us about? And what about Rainbow?”

“I’ve already spoken to her at Wonderbolt’s Headquarters about the news,” I told her standing up. Rarity’s face slackened with concern at the word “news.” “My father is on the move again,” I told her, giving her a bone. “And I need to speak with the other girls about it.”

“Alright, dear,” she agreed whole heartily without hesitation with a firm nod of her head.

“Thank you. I’ll let the other girls know through the mind link.” I closed my eyes to concentrate on the link that was leftover, and never turned off, from when the shadow organization was destroyed.

“Mind link?” Sweetie whispered as my mind linked up with Twilight.

Twilight? You there?

It took a couple of seconds, but then she replied with, Emmit? Yes, I’m here, why? Where are you? Anything wrong?

I’m at Rarity’s and yes, something is wrong. Meet Rarity and I at the Hay Burger, alright?

Sure, she replied, alright.

Next was Pinkie as I motioned for Sweetie and Rarity out the door. Might as well meet them there.

Pinkie?

Before I even get a chance to ask she replies with, I’ll be there, Emmit and I’ll pick up Scootaloo too.

Ok, thank you, Pinkie. I simply chalked it up as Pinkie being Pinkie while following Rarity and Sweetie out of the store.

AJ? Come in, AJ. It took her a little bit longer to reply, but when she did she sounded a little...testy.

Tarnation, Emmit! I dern forgot that link is still there. You went and gave me a heart attack while I was fixing lunch. This better be good or I’ll come to get you to clean up for me.

Rarity looked at me with a quizzical look. “What happened?” she asked.

“Kind of gave AJ a start while she was doing something,” I told her with a wince. It is important, AJ. I am having all the girls meet at the Hay Burger. I’ve already talked to Rainbow at the Wonderbolt’s Headquarters. Bring Apple Bloom as well.

Alright, but you need to apologize after I get there.

I understand. We had just passed the town hall when Rarity used her magic to put Sweetie on my back. And out of habit I put my tails over her like I would little Solar.

Fluttershy? It’s Emmit. She replied a few seconds later, probably after recovering from the minor heart attack I gave her.

Emmit? What is it?

I need you to meet up with me and the girls at the Hay Burger. I’ve got news regarding my father that you all need to hear.

Oh, alright. I’ll be there as soon as I can.

“Hi, Emmit,” Twilight called out from behind us just as we got to the front doors of the Hay Burger. Turning my head around spotted both Twilight and Pinkie with Scootaloo.

“Hey, girls,” I called out to them before spotting Sweetie on my back. “Sweetie, when did you get there?”

She smiled at me while wiggling herself, as if getting more comfortable, on my back, “Rarity lifted me up here.”

“Oh,” I blinked before looking at Twilight and Pinkie. “Let’s all get inside. AJ, Apple Bloom and Fluttershy are all coming as well.” The girls agreed and started heading inside with me following behind them as they looked for the largest table.

“Sweetie Belle? Can I ride him next?” Scootaloo asked as we walked through the tables getting to a large round one in a corner.

“Yeah, on the way out,” Sweetie said to her, hoping down from my back. And while we all were sitting down the only thing going through my mind, besides what I already was going to say to the girls, was that in a few years what Scootaloo said would take on a whole new meaning for her.

“So, why did you call us here, Emmit?” Twilight wondered as a waitress came up and passed out menus.

“I’ll tell everypony once they’re all here,” I told them then told the waitress that I wanted water to drink. Then asked her what burgers they had and what the fries were made from. I ordered a veggie patty burger with regular potato fries because they don’t have regular meat patties, unfortunately. At least in Canterlot I can make meat requests and I do from time to time. And a few minutes later, both AJ and Fluttershy came in almost at the same time, spotted us, and walked over to join us.

“Alright, sugarcube,” AJ said to me after she and Fluttershy sat down at the table, “why did you bring us all here?”

“Father’s on the move again,” I told them after setting my glass down after taking a drink. I got worried looks all around. “Father came to a Canterlot newspaper himself this morning and told them lies that the paper published. The lie was that the real Princess Celestia and Luna are with him and that Chrysalis and a drone is disguised as Celestia and Luna that are with me.”

“Why would he do that?” Rarity asked, a little confused. “Doesn’t he know that nopony will believe him?”

“That’s the thing,” I looked at them with a sigh and a shake of my head. “It’s called a misinformation campaign. In his mind, he honestly believes, through brainwashing, that Chrysalis is telling the truth. So, he’s using a human trick to mislead the public at large in order to instill panic, anxiety, and whatever else in order to have the public panic enough to do something against us. If he can make the public truly believe those lies, then somepony may, just may mind you, try and hurt and or kill them. It’s a way to turn the public against the princesses.”

By the time I got done explaining it, each of them had horrific shocked looks on their faces. Including the Crusaders as well.

“That’s soo mean,” Pinkie said quietly, not sounding like herself.

“But the public shouldn’t believe him because of Solar Flame, right?” Twilight wondered aloud with a shake of her head.

“You’d think that,” I chuckled sadly, “but what I’ve found is that, even in this world, the public at large will tend to believe what the papers say. Or in the human world, they tend to believe whatever they see on television. And there’s one thought that all tyrants keep in mind.” I had their undivided attention as they listened to me. “That if they tell the public something loud enough and long enough, they will believe it to be true even when it’s false.”

“That’s insane,” AJ’s face showed complete disbelief and shock with her mouth hanging open, as if catching flies.

“You’re right, AJ. It is insane, however, if the public at large isn’t well educated, such as in the human world in my home country, then they tend to believe lies that much more easily.”

“So, is that what your father is hoping to do here?” Fluttershy asked softly.

“Essentially yes,” I gave them a nod, “which is why I told the Solar Captain to spread the word on him and to capture him, if possible. And for any newspapers and journalists not to listen to him.”

“Alright, I get all that,” AJ and Fluttershy had ordered their lunches while I was talking. But she was still confused. “But what does that have to do with us here in Ponyville?”

Twilight answered that question with, “Because if his father could walk into Canterlot and do whatever he wants. Then he can do so here as well.” The girls went silent as that thought sunk in, letting me and them concentrate on their lunch.

The rest of lunch was relatively quiet except for the occasional question here and there. I really didn’t warn them until the end of lunch before we all separated. “I want you girls to be extra careful around here, alright?”

“Now you know I can take care of myself,” AJ gave me a smirk as we all walked out of the Hay Burger after I paid for lunch.

With a chuckle, I sat down on my rump just outside and put a front leg around her shoulders. “AJ, to a point you’re right, but you don’t know my father like I do. And what he can do. And now that he knows what it’s like to be a changeling, he can change into anything his mind can come up with in order to complete his task. And Chrysalis just might tell him to come after you girls.”

“We understand,” Rarity cooed with a small smile and kissed me, “you are just concerned for us.”

I kissed back passionately, “And rightly so. I love you all.”

“Get a room,” Scootaloo gagged from my back then used a couple of tails to hide herself in so she couldn’t see.

“That is such a wonderful idea,” Rarity grinned at me with a mischievous wink then turned to the rest of them. “Any of you girls want to join?”

“Oh, oh, oh, oh, I want to,” Pinkie bounced up and down excitedly.

“I think I’ll take Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom, and Scootaloo back with me,” Twilight said with a nervous smile and a chuckle. “It’s time for another lesson anyway.”

“Aww,” Apple Bloom grumbled stepping over to Twilight.

“We can’t watch whatever fun you’re going to have?” Sweetie Asked having no clue what she was really asking.

Scootaloo grumbled as well hopping down from my back to walk over to Twilight.

“I got chores to do, so I’ll catch y’all later,” She said, turned, and started trotting back home.

That left Fluttershy which she leaned up giving me a big passionate kiss. “Maybe you can come by later, Emmit? I’ve got animals that need attention.”

“That will be perfectly fine, darling,” Rarity winked at Fluttershy while leaning up against me, “though he might be a little tired.”

“Oh that’s ok,” Fluttershy dismissed with a quiet smile and a wave of her hoof. “That’s where Zecora’s potion will help him.”

“Okie dokie lokie,” Pinkie bounced happily then grabbed me at one of my tails with her tail, “this way, Emmit. I’m going to be your special pastry that you fill with your wonderful cream.”

“Later, darlings,” Rarity singsonged sweetly and followed behind me as Pinkie pulled me toward Rarity’s boutique.

(Thorax’s POV, Evening near Fluttershy’s cottage)

“It’s a good thing that we’re coming to watch them in the evening,” my mare companion was saying as we made our way out of the Whitetail Woods close to a cottage. “Being near ponies makes me nervous.”

“Why?” I asked while my eyes searched the area around the cottage, making sure we’re safe. “I think that changelings and ponies can live together peacefully.”

She stopped dead in her tracks looking at me with a dumbfounded expression. “You can’t be serious!”

I gave her a shrug, “Why not?”

“They’re food that’s why!” she narrowed her eyes at me looking stern and serious.

I sat down in front of her and shook my head, “No, love is our food and I’ve found that we can harvest love even from animals. And from what I can tell, they dislike us taking without asking. So, why not ask?”

She rolled her eyes at me, “Because they’ll hate us anyway? You were there when we tried for Canterlot and again at the Crystal Kingdom.”

“Yes, I was there, but-” she interrupted me by putting her hoof to my mouth. Then used it to point toward the cottage. We were looking at the back of the cottage that was facing us, and in the dying light of evening we saw Fluttershy and Twilight Sparkle outside with Emmit in his human form. And naked.

“What are they doing?” she asked. Then motioned us closer, “Let’s get into a couple of dogs disguise and get closer for better observation.”

I shrugged getting into a generic dog form and began making my way closer to them. She followed behind me until we hid behind a large bush that was close enough for us to hear what was going on.

“I’ve read some...books about how to do it, but...”

“It’s alright, Twilight,” we watched Fluttershy gently put her hoof against her friend’s shoulder, “sometimes there are things that you just can’t learn from a book. This is one of them.”

Twilight looked around, but luckily didn’t see us. “Yeah, but...outside?” She looked nervous for some reason that I didn’t understand.

That’s when Fluttershy’s voice changed, as well as her appearance. “It’s more thrilling, Twilight.” Her voice got more like a snake or a bat maybe. She turned toward Emmit, “Observe first, then try it for yourself.” She put her nose against his crotch, “Take in his scent, Twilight. Rub your nose against his shaft until it rises for you.”

“The love they are giving off will feed us for years,” she whispered to me with an excited shiver.

I watched as Twilight sat down right next to Fluttershy. “Once his cock is hard gently take it in your mouth like so,” she said before taking his member into her mouth. Then she pulled back again saying, “He likes gentle sucking, like a foal sucking on her mother’s teat. And lightly run your tongue along the underside of his cock.” She leaned in and apparently started doing exactly as she said. She took his male member in her mouth and started sucking on it, but not hard by what I could tell.

We heard Emmit’s moans of pleasure as Fluttershy still sucked gently. Fluttershy stayed there for another minute before pulling back and looking at Twilight, “You try now.” Twilight nodded and sidestepped where Fluttershy was previously sitting in front of Emmit. “Now gently put your lips around his cock.” Twilight did as she was told and took his hard member into her mouth.

“She’s going to do it,” my companion whispered excitedly. “Both of their love and lust are increasing rapidly. That’s it, Twilight, suck him off.”

I’ll admit to getting excited myself while watching them.

“Now gently run your tongue along the underside of his shaft while sucking like a foal against a teat,” Fluttershy said softly, her voice was filled with lust. We heard Emmit’s moans of pleasure as Twilight obeyed what she was told. “That’s it Twilight, gently suck then let go, suck and let go. Slowly, like a foal against a mother’s teat.” Fluttershy looked up at Emmit, “How is she doing, Emmit?”

“Wonderful,” he said softly, “soo good. Oh, that feels soo good.”

I was riveted at the sight before me. Not to mention feeling a stirring of my own. I found my eyes taking glances at my companion’s rear end with images of me mounting her flashing through my mind. Then I started simply staring, but I didn’t know it until she called me out on it.

“You’re not seriously thinking about it are you?” she questioned me with wide eyes.

“You don’t have to swallow if you don’t want to,” my ears picked up Fluttershy’s voice as I stared at my companion. “I don’t, I don’t like it.”

“You are considering it,” she whispered in shock as her mouth hung open as if catching flies. “We can’t it’s not allowed for drones to share love or lust.”

“I’m…,” I heard Emmit barely say before a long moan of release. I didn’t see whether or not Twilight swallowed or not, not that it mattered to me.

“Chrysalis won’t know,” I told her, stepping sideways to get up closer to her. Our bodies almost touching.

“Yes, she will,” my companion’s voice showed her fear of getting caught and her disbelief. “She’s a goddess that knows when we share those emotions.”

“She’s not a goddess,” I retorted with a shake of my head. “And she doesn’t know because I’ve done it before. I’ve tested her and she didn’t know.”

“What?!” her voice was still a whisper while she looked at me in shock. “But…,” she shook her head, “she must have had her reason for not-”

“She’s not a goddess,” I re-iterated again cutting her off, “and she won’t know.” Then leaned in stealing a kiss from her. At first, she didn’t resist but even leaned into me. Then a few seconds later she pulled back looking completely fearful.

“I can’t do it,” she shook her head before running back toward the forest.

It was sad that she left. I’ve had sex before and I’ve got serious doubts about Chrysalis both as a goddess and as a leader. For now, I’ve got a wonderful show in front of me. By this time, Emmit had lifted Twilight up putting her front hooves against the side of Fluttershy’s cottage. And began taking her from behind and very quickly the sound of sex was filling my ears.

And I stayed well after dark until the three of them went inside. Then it was time for me to give all the emotions I’ve gathered into the hive.
