The Rise and Fall

Alright... I can honestly say I'm scared SHITLESS. Not like normal shitless. Like... I got my wings taken away, tossed out of a helicopter and forced to catch a parachute shitless. Right now its been about a week after Celestia's 'meltdown' Applejack decided to take everyone outta town, even Scootaloo going to Braeburns place for a few days. I didnt wanna go because... Well you know... My mental breakdown and shit before the wedding. They're supposed to be back tomorrow morning but today Twilight called me away from the house. I just pulled up to the castle only to meet a guard waiting for my keys. I was wearing my leather jacket and jeans with my canvas sneakers. It was starting to get cooler so I kinda wanted to wear something like this. Least it hasnt gotten cold enough for me to use my coat I got from Shining during our visit to the Crystal Empire. As I stepped out of my car I traded places with the guard waiting. He drove off and went right to the garage letting me just go to the door to the castle. Found Twilight in her kitchen making lunch. She was wearing her pajamas still. Lazy day I'm thinking. Sweat pants, tank top and socks. She looked to me and smiled as she stepped away from her stove scooping soup from a pot with a ladle into a few bowls. "General thanks for coming!" She said. "Sorry if I had to pull you away from what ever you were doing but Celestia wanted me to test out something she found in her library."

I watched as she came over setting a bowl of soup in front of me. Tomato, looked like it had some cracker bits in there. "And let me guess.... Spike with Rarity?" I asked. She nodded as she set her bowl of soup down.

"Yep. Though... I had to send him to Rarity's not only as a favor but because Celestia requested Spike be away for this spell just in case this spell is a bit strange and only you know how to take strange spells." I huffed taking a spoon to my soup.

"Is this gonna be another one where I'm afraid I'm gonna lose my family? Or relive potty training again? What about burping fire?" She huffed as I ate a few spoonfuls. Good soup, a bit too peppery for my liking but it was good.

"Hopefully its not gonna be like that. Celestia however gave me a contingency if things do go sideways... Week off from work, with pay, one rule-free favor I have to grant no matter what it is and for who, and something else I decide on. Sound good?"

"And how long is it gonna take?"

"Not long I'd hope. Asked Celestia about the spell and she just said it was something she wanted to know if it was dangerous or not... Even was gonna pay me to test it out, see what it does. I mean... I've got the knowhow to defend myself if something goes wrong..." I sipped my soup from the spoon.

"And... That involves me here as well.... And I take it this spell is an unmarked one?" She nodded taking a few spoon fulls of soup herself. "Had a feeling.... Gonna have to talk about these unmarked spells with Celestia after this..."

"So you'll do it?" I sighed taking a spoonful of my soup just to pour it back into the bowl.

"Yeah... Dont really have anything else to do... Plus I feel like I'm on the clock here... Got something to do, a bit of pocket money, and someone to talk to after we're done. Always glad to have some company." She smiled.

"Agreed. Now eat up. Not gonna stop mid experiment to give you a snack." I nodded and just started drinking the soup from the bowl. As warm as it was it didnt burn on the way down thankfully. I even washed my dish but raided her fridge for a soda. She didnt care. As long as I was happy. I left her in the kitchen to eat, went to watch some TV, hit up the bathroom just to be sure I didnt wet myself or anything during the spell thing. Took maybe about an hour for her to be ready. When ready she had guards bring me to an empty room. This time Twilight was changed into coveralls. Like the ones I used to wear when I used to work at the garage. Except hers was a clean violet color rather than a sand brown, oil stained that honestly by now was burnt beyond repair. Yeah... Lost that in the fire. Was actually comfy.

"Alright so... What do i have to do?" I asked. I saw her horn glow a moment before something appeared in front of my face. A box. Black. No wrappings, no stickers, not even a bow on it.

"For one, put this on. We dont wanna have any loose clothing. Dont know what this spell will do... Could catch something on fire, could spawn a twister, might even give us a monster with long claws, sharp teeth and very fast movement speed."

"You mean like the Deaf Jaws from my video game?" Yep. Fits the description. Those things are blind as a bat, fast on their feet and can just murdalize you in one fell swing of their claws. She nodded. "Uh... You able to enchant this thing with anti-penetration in that case? I'm not gonna like it if I have to take on one of those things in real life...." She thought about it for a moment.

"Sure just... Give me a minute with it.... Celestia also gave me that same spell used on your suit and AJ's dress just in case you needed a change of clothes before being sent out to do something dangerous.... Now hand it over, get undressed and hand your clothes- and phone to the guard outside the door. Underwear stays though and your shirt. Shoes and socks stay too I guess..." I set the box down and slid it over with my foot before starting to get undressed. Kicked my shoes off and just took my pants and my jacket off tossing them on the floor. Even though I've been naked in front of Twilight, its still awkward being in my underwear in front of her. I watched as she opened the box and pulled out red and black coveralls. She held it in her magic for a moment while I grabbed my pants and jacket folding them over each other before handing them out the door to the guard. After a moment she just finished with the coveralls and gave them back to me with her magic as she kicked the box aside. "There. Now hurry up and put it on. We dont have all day!" I huffed taking the garment.

"We do have all day, you just wanna do it now...." I mumbled under my breath.

"What was that General?"

"Nothing Princess." I replied unzipping the coveralls. Since these were a bit new they were slightly stiff when I put em on. Had to roll up the sleeves a bit to even make it somewhere near comfortable. Almost wish this were my old work uniform. Or that I'd be allowed to tie the arms of this thing to my waist like a jacket on a somewhat warm fall day. But then again.... when Twilight has important guests over to try to aid Celestia and Luna into landing an alliance anyone that is there, the uniform HAS to be presentable! Including me if I'm ever around. Not gonna lie, when I came by one time to pick up something from Spike while she had guests over, she made me go back home, get something presentable on, came back with a button up and casual dress pants and sneakers and then? She tells me to wear a fucking tie. Said I couldnt come up unless I wore the tie. Only reason Spike couldnt come down was because of that guest. It was SO annoying! Honestly still think I should've broken in via the helipad area... Dunno if the guards would've questioned me. Either that or they would've caught me, turned me into the Princess. Oh well. Time has passed. Twilight huffed making a book appear with her magic. She flipped through the pages watching each diagram, each word and each invisible page number pass by.

"Alright... This spell should be around here somewhere.... Might see some other spells I can try... some fun ones maybe.... Not sure.... I'd have to double check on some, maybe see if there are any you'd wanna do.... And after that accident of turning you into a foal I think I'm gonna be the one to choose... I'm still on the fence about telling you not to do something..." I huffed.

"If I needed a slap in the face, you slap me in the face, I ask something stupid, answer that stupid question, and if you need to tell me no, you go ahead and do it. I'm not gonna throw a tantrum like a little filly wanting her toy from the toy store. If you need to combine the three, go right ahead."

"Noted." She replied stopping to read a page. "Now... I'd brace yourself just in case anything happens here.... Be ready to get me the hell out of here just in case too...." I gave a nod and just readied myself. I watched as she started concentrating having her horn glow. A spark came off her horn and swirled around in the air for a moment gaining more and more mass, brightening up the room more and more as it grew. Honestly had to look away from the light because it got bright enough to annoy me. Looked down at the ground and noticed my sneakers were still off. And yes, like a kid I sat down and started putting my shoes on. Had a bit of trouble with the first one. Since these were canvas sneakers they were a bit hard to squeeze into because they like to flop around a bit. But before I had a chance to even react that friggen spark came down right where I was sitting and opened up a portal swallowing me and thankfully both of my shoes followed through. I yelled falling for a moment through a colorful tunnel that honestly would've been better with something to smoke.... "RYDER!" I heard Twilight yell before that portion of the portal closed up. I couldnt even fly back up. I was being forced downward. Before I even knew it I fell right out of the sky into some trees and hit a few branches before hitting the floor. Dusty. Dirt just EVERYWHERE.... I groaned getting up. I dusted myself off and just looked for my shoes. Gladly they fell right next to me. I sat back down and got my sneakers back on before looking around. Apple trees. I huffed coughing.

"Alright... I think Twilight made a portal into places familiar to her... Probably thought of Applejack when she cast the spell...." I slowly stood up groaning. I ached but nothing was broken. Bruised maybe. Still hurt. Even flapped my wings to get the dust and leaves out of my feathers. I stretched my legs a bit before starting to walk off. "Really hope Twilight isnt panicking too much and thinking of how to get me back..." I looked to the trees above me. "...Just to be sure I should-" My ear flickered hearing footsteps. Sounded like someone was running. I looked around and you know what I see? A little filly. Couldn't have been older than six. Blonde mane, white coat, pink shirt, blue jean overalls. Even had some sneakers like I've seen Applebloom wear. She was running away going towards the house. I quickly looked around, seeing if anyone was running after her or if there was anyone trying to play hide and seek. Looked as if she was alone which kinda set of some alarm bells off in my head. "Hey kid! Kid you shouldnt be running around here alone!"

I started to chase after her. She was fast. Had the stamina of Winona almost. Hell I couldnt even keep up with her. Least not in this thing. I quickly lost sight of her as I neared the road. Though I would've gotten the road but some shit doesnt seem to go my way. I heard a war cry from above just before I could even react since it startled me I was quickly knocked to the ground being pinned under someone. Even before I could fight back, combat knife right into the dirt by my face. I just froze staring at my own reflection in the knife. "....You god damn changeling fuck!" A mare said. Sounded very familiar but I just couldnt place it. "I'm giving you one chance.... Show your true form or I'm gonna break that fucking neck of yours for impersonating my brother!" I gasped. Like... Literally gasped breathing in dust and dirt only to cough and hack trying to get the weight off of me. Wasnt all that hard but I threw the weight of the mare off and turned around getting on my back. What I saw? Scootaloo. Just... Older and... different. Her purple mane with a rainbow streak covering her face which was just ripe with anger. She was wearing a leather vest and a teeshirt, jeans and combat boots. Almost looked too big for her.

"....Scootaloo?" I said. She sprang back onto me and pinned me to the ground.

"YOU SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH! HOW DO YOU KNOW MY NAME?! WHAT WERE YOU DOING CHASING AFTER MY NIECE?!" She didnt give me time to answer. Just grabbed the knife and held it to my neck. "Choose your next words carefully or the guards we call will be picking up a corpse rather than a prisoner...."

"....Scootaloo... What.... Just.... I.... Please... Scoot just... Just put the knife down.... I'm not a changeling..... Just let me explain... Please?" She growled taking the knife back and planting it in the dirt again.

"You've got a minute! I dont get an answer that makes sense or you take too long I dont care how much you scream when I drag this blade through your gut..." I thought quickly as I could. When I thought of something I just looked to my sister.

"Twilight! Twilight fucked up a spell! Sh-Sh-She must've sent me through time! I just.... I dont know how far.... I'm not a changeling I swear sis! Y-You believe me? Right? Your big brother who saved you from getting taken away by the guard? The big brother who came back from the war after getting his wing chopped off? And... Dare I say the same big brother who wet his pants on a school run?" I blushed a bit giving a nervous smile. Her pissed off look quickly turned shocked... Tears started welling up in her eyes...

"....I... Sweet fucking Celestia... IT IS YOU!" She quickly hugged me tight, crying into my shoulder. I heard the knife hit the dirt behind me. I hugged my sister holding her close as she sobbed.

"Its okay... I'm here.... Dont cry sis..." I huffed trying to push her off me. Didnt wanna budge. "C'mon... Lets get you to the house... Grab your knife and lets go...." She sniffled and nodded into my shoulder before reaching for the knife and sticking it into her boot. She sniffled and helped me to my feet. I was still a bit shaken. She took my hand and started pulling me towards an opening in the fence and down the road to the house. "So... Scoot.... Why the knife?" She sniffled a bit.

"...I... It... You...." I sighed.

"Its alright... I'll let you calm down.... Just uh.... Is anyone else around....? Besides you and your niece?" She nodded wiping her eyes.

"AJ... Mac is off in Appleoosa with cousin Braeburn.... 'Bloom is with Diamond... Right now... Only me and AJ and y-" She stopped herself. "...My niece...." She looked back at the house. To me? It looked different... but the same.... Looked bigger. Saw a few cars parked nearby. Neither of which were mine. Pick up truck. Looked a bit new. Not the family truck. And a classic looking sports car. Black, wonderbolts logo on the door, beautiful whitewall tires and humped wheel wells. Scootaloo stopped just a few yards from the door before looking to me. "Stay here... I.... I might have to convince AJ you are who you say you are... Anyone comes down that road, hide.... I'm not sure if the others will react the same way I did...."

"What? Not pull a knife and tackle me to the ground and threatening to slit my throat?" She blushed and averted her gaze.

"Uh... Y-Yeah... Maybe not that but... something similar.... Just... Stay here... She was last inside when I saw her last.... Hopefully shes still inside...." I nodded and waited while she went inside. I was a bit weary of my surroundings. Other than the cars and Scoot... and the house... things were just about the same. I leaned against the wall, running my hands through my dusty mane. Sure I was panicked, aching and wondering how I was gonna get home but I'm not gonna lie... Time travel is kinda cool. Honestly thought I should've been taking notes. Though... My judgement can get the better of me... and my knowledge of movies... I'd rather not take notes because it could alter how things could happen.... You could be expecting something and just.... make it not happen but then something blows up down the street or something. Lots of red flags about having future information. Anyways I waited hearing Scootaloo go throughout the house. Unsure where Scoot's 'niece' went...

I found that out real quick. Rock came flying at me from the tree line and came in low. Nailed me in the sweet spot before a lasso came right over me. It pulled tight around my arms with the only thing I could hold being my junk. Was even pulled over off my feet and dragged towards the opposite side of the house. "YEEEEHAW! GET OVER HERE Y'DAMN CHANGELIN!" A familiar voiced mare called out. Once I stopped I didnt have time to react. Hands were pulled behind me, tied together and next thing you know so were my feet. Before I even knew it I had a boot planted on my spine, hearing a sigh. "There... You aint goin' anywhere...." I almost didnt wanna look up. With that boot I just saw a bare leg. Didnt know what I'd see when I looked up... Only thing I knew just by looking at that boot and the coat color? Applejack. "Got some balls disguisin' yourself as my late husband you filthy changelin' you.... Drop the act... You're caught.... Followin' my daughter 'round... The hell did you do with my sister in law?!" I couldnt speak. Hurt too much to even speak. Didnt wanna even if I could. Too shocked. Anyways I heard a window above open.

"APPLEJACK WHAT THE HELL?! I WAS GONNA TELL YOU NOT TO DO THAT! GET OFF HIM!" I heard my sister yell. I heard her grunt a bit before hearing wings flap and boots hitting the ground. I saw Scootaloo run over to me before pushing Applejack off me. She knelt down quickly untying me hands first.

"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING GIRL HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND?! LETTING A GOD DAMN CHANGELIN' OF YOUR BROTHER RUNNIN' FREE?!" Scootaloo huffed as I sat up untying myself a bit more.

"THE ONLY ONE WHO'S LOST THEIR MIND HERE IS YOU YOU OLD BAT!" Scootaloo helped me up and dusted me off. "If he really was a changeling your rope would've showed his true form! If you still think he's one, ask him something! ASK HIM ANYTHING!" The air fell silent as I got up. I looked to Applejack who was still sat in the dust. Short shorts showing off her legs still muscular, her boots definitely looking worn but still usable. She wore a black teeshirt, cut just above the belly button almost like a crop top. She had her hat in one hand, other hand on the ground trying to get up. Her mane was in a braid that rested on her shoulder, her face kissed by time. Slightly wrinkled, crows feet around her green eyes that just glared at me like she outright hated seeing my face. Honestly wanted to help her up but I didnt even wanna see if she even had a knife. She hiked herself back onto her feet.

"I swear if you were still a filly.... You dont know how fast I'd even ground your ass...." She dusted herself off putting her hat back on. She looked to me. "You need to talk NOW..... Otherwise you got ten seconds on a head start!"

I huffed stretching my shoulders out. "I take it you really hate changelings here and I get it..." I said. "...But I'm no changeling AJ! I really am Ryder!"

"Oh yea? Then tell me something only Ryder would know!"

"Alright.... But you wouldnt believe the sweet little filly you passed up not realizing i was your husband? Or what about the time I got us a dinner with a foreign diplomat and got into a shootout protecting you and them? Hell after that you freaked out so much at me I had to push you into another guard to distract you long enough to pull out that ring I wanted to slap on your finger. That enough information for ya?" She just stared at me. Same way Scootaloo did. Her breathing got heavy and she lost just about all color. Her legs even quivered a bit quickly growing weak. Scootaloo and I rushed to her side, grabbing her and holding her upright. I huffed looking into her eyes. "Guess I said a bit too much huh?" Applejack nodded a bit. "Heh.... Alright... Just breathe.... Getcha inside to sit down." I looked to Scoot. "Gonna help or you want me to get this?"

Scootaloo huffed. "Let me get this. Her bones arent what they used to be. And after that? Definitely made her feel old." She said. She threw Applejack's arm over her shoulder and took her other hand from me. "Alright AJ... C'mon.... Easy now just breathe." She looked to me. "Open the door but... Just... Beware of what you see... Might be a bit depressing...." I nodded and left AJ to lean on my sister. Handled it pretty well. I walked with them over to the door only to open it letting them go in first. When I entered I kinda froze. New couch wrapping a corner for a section, another right where the recliner was, metal table with frosted glass on top, a small fake plant, magazines and a half drank glass of Apple Juice on it. I saw pictures on the wall, mostly of family, some pictures I dont even know. Saw some with me, some with me and AJ, me, an older Scootaloo and Babs who... honestly looked a tad heavy set. Then I saw one with me, AJ and that little filly running around. Scootaloo's niece.

Applejack huffed looking to me. "Sugarcube... Y'mind getting me somethin from the fridge? Should be some cider on the top shelf..." She said. I nodded and went for the kitchen. As I passed Scoot, AJ looked to my sister. "Scoot, why dont you go get your niece and take her to the park or somethin.... I just... I... I might need a moment with your brother here.... wont object to you having a bit of time later... Alright?" Scootaloo nodded and hurried outside leaving me and Applejack alone in the house. I grabbed a few bottles of cider from the fridge. Glass bottles, ice cold. I set one bottle down on the table and cracked the other one open handing it to AJ before grabbing mine and cracking it open as well. She drank down a good third of the bottle before huffing, bringing it from her lips. She took one look at me and just sighed a loving sigh. "....Ry.... I... How the hell did you get here...? Y'look as if you hadnt aged a day...."

I huffed sitting down next to her on the couch. "...You act like you havent seen me for a while..." I said. She huffed.

"...'s cuz I havent Ry.... I.... I just dont know if I should explain...." She averted her gaze swirling her drink around. "So.... Uh... Why dont you go and just... Tell me what's happened with you?" I could hear her voice breaking... Kinda made me nervous....

"Well...." I started. "I just got shit out of a portal and got attacked by my family including a little extra... No blame there, you thought I was a changeling, felt threatened by me but knew well enough to at least listen.... So.... Few questions...."

"Does it have anything to do with what happened to you?"

"Well... One does.... But.... Let me at least see a few things first before I ask that.... Okay?" Applejack nodded.

"Alright... So... That filly.... Scootaloo's niece?"

"Yep... She's our little bundle of joy.... Going on about... Nine years old right now? Girls a quick learner, a bit stubborn but hey... look in the mirror if you wanna see who I slept with to make that happen...." She chuckled slightly going in for another sip of her cider.

"Kid's mine?" She nodded. "Wow... How good of a father am I?"

"...Well... I.... You were a great father.... well... while I was pregnant...." I hummed a bit.

"What uh... what happened??" She huffed.

"...Just... Ask somethin' else...." I stammered a bit. "Ask. Something. Else." She kinda scared me a bit. She's never used that tone with me EVER. I nervously sipped my cider.

"O-Okay... Um... Can you tell me why Scootaloo has a knife...? And why she nearly slit my throat with it?" Applejack drank her cider, giving a small burp.

"....Well... I... She...." She stopped trying to find the words and form that sentence. She sighed. "...Well... She got it as a birthday present from Celestia.... Over the years as she got older Celestia started teaching her self defense techniques considering she could kick flank.... friends, family.... Even the guards she trained with... Daring Do too.... One day someone tried robbing us.... Girl broke his arm, knocked the knife from his hand and dropped him... Both got a kick in before some nearby guards heard the guy yellin' and booked him. Celestia got her the knife just to surprise someone if ever they tried forcing themselves on her.... Shoulda seen the night she came home with that knife in hand and someone elses blood on hers. Boy learned real quick not to mess with a feisty filly with cameras about.... Fool tried to pass it of like she attacked him. Guards laughed when they arrested him.... 'I didnt do anything! It was her! She mugged me! Attacked me!'" She mimicked the stallion who attacked her.

"That's good... Girl grew up, protected her family and even herself... Now... That last question..." She huffed. Drank the rest of her drink setting the bottle down on the table. I drank mine as the silence grew a bit uneasy. Set my bottle down and just looked at her. "...Is... Is something wrong...?" She hesitantly nodded. Stared off at the corner just to the right of the TV. I saw a picture frame, few flowers in front of it and a candle. Made my heart sink. Looked like a memorial. I got up and set my drink down walking carefully over to the picture almost like Applejack was gonna call me back, stop me from looking at this..... The picture? It was of me. Suit, saluting the camera.... The flowers? Few red roses made of plastic and fabric. The candle was a small jar candle. Wick was burnt and the candle half way melted. It took a moment... My body wanted me to refuse to believe it. My brain knew what this meant but my heart.... If it sank any lower I'd've probably shit it right out.... My breathing became heavy, uneven. Quickly felt light headed and dropped to my knees using the couch at my side to keep me upright. Applejack came right over to me and sat down on the couch, tussling my dusty mane.

"....Wish we coulda saved you... Happened just before our little girl was born.... You went out one day.... Got into a fight with some hot head who pulled a gun when you werent looking.... Motherfucker shot at the medics trying to save you.... Lucky us.... Got him for everything.... Damages, paid for your funeral, even got him for the papers on his car....Scoot just loves that thing like you did yours...." She pulled me up onto the couch laying me onto her shoulder. "....Dont know how bad Scoot and I cried.... Dash stayed over to make sure nobody did anything funny.... Cut up my rope, hid the sharp tools and made us eat what ever.... I was a bit easier since I was carrying your foal.... Didnt want a miscarriage and have ponies lookin' at me in disgust or you seein' your little girl up there without her mama....Mac... He was all broken up about it... Barely left his room for a week. Came out only to eat, use the toilet.... He ended up moving out when 'Mash was about four... Lived with Braeburn since...." I started shaking... this was just.... frightening to me. She shushed me, holding my head to her chest. "....Easy there sugarcube.... breathe...." I tried breathing. Shaky no matter how deep. Though something in my stomach didnt sit right. I quickly pushed off and rushed outside. Got out a few yards before just losing everything. Lunch and my drink. Half digested soup tastes nasty. I coughed and spat into the puddle only to crawl away from it before collapsing onto my side. Couldnt help but curl up right there having tears build up in my eyes. I could only watch as Applejack came out, head hung and her hands stuffed in her pockets. She sat down next to me and just lifted my head to rest it on her lap. She just shushed me and sighed. "....Here... Lets get you cleaned up... I'll whip ya up something light and make a few calls... Kay? Maybe a few familiar faces might make ya feel better until Twilight gets back...." I sniffled trying to hold myself together.

"...Sh-She's not here?" Applejack shook her head.

"Nope. Should be back in a day or two.... She had to leave Equestria for a week just to help Celestia and Luna with somethin'. Till then? You're a bit stuck here... I aint gonna mind if you wanna get a hotel, stay in the house or go elsewhere.... just... Please dont go cryin' any more...." She got up getting me to my feet. She walked me back inside and upstairs. We stopped at the bathroom. "Here. Get on inside, shower up. I'll wash your clothes, maybe see about getting you somethin' easier to wear...

"I.... Just.... I'll wear something else until these are cleaned and dried.... Just.... I...." I whimpered and hugged Applejack, burying my face into her shoulder.

"....I know... This aint a reality you like.... Scares you more than losing me.... or your sister... I get it... Now git on in there and wash up. I'll be back in a few minutes to get your clothes. Go on.... Shouldnt take more than an hour for your clothes and I wont shrink anything like I did your favorite shirt. Promise sugarcube." Yeah. Ended up getting a shirt that shrunk and now fits Scootaloo. Or.... In this time.... Did... I nodded and went into the bathroom closing the door behind me. The bathroom was a bit of an upgrade. Tile floor, waterproofed wood walls, new shower installed and such. I stripped down, turned on the water and washed myself off. I honestly sat in there for a while washing all the dirt out of my mane. Heard the door open once, someone pick up my clothes and leave closing the door behind them. Had to grab a comb just to get the bits of dirt from my mane that were just little rocks. It was maybe a good twenty minutes to a half hour before I was even done. Hopped out of the shower, grabbed a towel and dried myself off. Even snagged a bathrobe from the back of the door after I was done just to stay warm. I huffed opening the door just a crack.

"Applejack? There anything I can wear? Any spare clothes lying around?" I heard Applejack put a glass down or something on the table.

"Yeah just gimme a minute sugarcube. Gotta check what we got." I sighed.

"Alright. I'll be in here...." I went back over and sat on the toilet just grabbing a brush for my mane. Slicked it back and just sat in the warm air. I honestly felt like I was awkwardly waiting on someone's mother to bring me a new set of clothing because I fell into their pool or mine were damaged somehow. Yeah... Younger me got into fights a lot. Dash's cutecinera I got into a fight with a colt, gave him a nosebleed after he ripped my shirt trying to get next to my cousin and since it was also Fluttershy's it was a joint one... I had to sit in timeout in my aunts bedroom, shirtless while mom had to go get me a new shirt. Colts mother paid for it knowing it was his fault.

Anyways after a while there was a knock at the door. I huffed and went over to open it. As I did I reached out but... I felt clothing just... On someone. I peeked around the door and my hand was on the breast of Babs. She was older yes but it kinda made me freeze a bit. Her mane was just about the same as when she was a filly, she wore an old khaki green service jacket with a white teeshirt underneath, blue jeans and work boots. She was holding new clothes but she dropped them pulling me in to hug me tight. "ITS YOU! IT'S REALLY YOU!" She said holding me tight. "I.... Holy shit... I never thought I'd see you like this again.... You're here... and... I'm not dreaming... and... and...." She just started breaking down into my chest. She may have been older but she was still a bit shorter than me. I smiled and held her close shushing her.

"...I gotcha Babs.... Good to see you too... And so well... Uh...." I blushed a bit.

Applejack sighed coming from the stairs. "Girl missed ya... 'n I mean really missed ya...." She said. "I aint gonna lie when I say she stayed in bed with me making sure I didnt do anything stupid, even her father made sure she didnt do anything stupid... Few months passed after you did and well.... I get her father bringing her here, almost nothing to wear and what I saw? Razor scars.... all up 'n down her arms.... You do not know the lecture I gave her, tellin' her how I nearly screwed up all them years ago.... Girl broke and I had to tie her down any time she had them dark thoughts... Had her eat, drink and even cuddle up with her to have her sleep.... Week after she's all good... Next thing I know she's at the door in tears... Tellin me you came to her in her dreams, told her to clean herself up and do what she can to better herself.... Low and behold, new special recruit for the guard and here's a girl that knows how to pick her battles wisely, quickly rising up the ranks.... Staff Sergent if I remember right...." Babs nodded into my chest sniffling. Applejack had to pry Babs off me. "Here... C'mon girl lets let him get some clothes on... Aint gonna object if you wanna see em on the floor later but... That's all up to him." I looked to AJ blushing hard.

"Uh... H-How long have I been....?" She thought for a moment having her cousin cry into her shoulder.

"Going on.... ten years now? So she's good if that's what you're askin'. Now go on, get dressed. Y'can chat with her after you aint gonna be hanging out of my bathrobe..." I quickly covered myself making sure I wasnt showing and grabbed the clothes she had ready for me before dipping back into bathroom closing the door behind me. Soon after I was on the couch in black sweat pants, my sneakers, a tee shirt that was a little small but still fit well enough. Babs was laying with me on the couch while Applejack was just standing in the kitchen preparing some food. She sighed looking over at us. "...Cant help but to think... All them years ago you were a hero saving her.... Next thing you know she's followin' in your footsteps in becoming a guard... Her father objected to it but unlike you, she managed to get training, worked for Twilight and kept a level head... Showed my uncle wrong... Been mostly working with Twilight closely, mostly doing stuff around Ponyville.... Luckily havent getting into a gunfight yet... Keyword being yet...."

"...And... How long ago was the Manehattan attack....?" I looked at Applejack questioningly as she took a knife to a slice of bread.

"....Going on....Twenty years now.... Also... Scoot told me it was some sort of spell Twilight did that brought you here?" I nodded. "Well... Certainly threw you some time into the future... So I'd say you've been thrown..." She thought for a moment before going for the fridge. "....Somewhere around eighteen years into the future?" She sighed. "...How I wish I could be taken back to the night after you proposed to me.... Happy mare, not a worry in the world... Maybe a little trouble sleeping but... Other than that... Just being happy.... Now? Cant look at some of these pictures without rememberin' the good ol' days... Still remember that day I caught you in the orchard with your pants down...." I blushed as she brought over a sandwich with a canned chocolate milk.

"AJ uh... I'd rather not have a hardon with Babs on me like this...."

Babs quickly got off me allowing me to sit up. She blushed a bit. "Sorry! I uh... It just.... I..." She stammered.

"I understand Babs... Havent seen me for a while, developed feelings for me.... Now that I'm here you're a bit clingy... And from what AJ told me.... you've had those thoughts about wanting to bed me?" She blushed and nodded. "I uh.... I'd say that's weird but.... Between you and me at this point I've been in bed with Dash...." I looked to Applejack as I grabbed my sandwich. "Speaking of which how is Dash?"

Applejack huffed as I took a bite out of the sandwich. Peanut butter and jelly. Slight hint of honey. "Well... After you passed she fell into a depression..." She said. "Fluttershy stayed with her in her parents place in Cloudsdale for a while... Met with your mother after your funeral, spent time with her and flew with the Wonderbolts to honor you... Right now we aint gonna have an issue with her faintin' or anything but she's Practicing and commanding the bolts in your mothers place. And before you go worryin' your mother is still kickin' but she's in a home. Legs gave out after a stroke but she's still with us talking and everythin'... Rarity and Sweetie Belle are still in town, Rarity workin' on dresses and such... Sad thing is? Nobody could break the news to her.... Not me, not Scoot.... Not Dash or even Big Mac.... She only knew when Princess Luna arrived, asked for your suit measurements.... Rares asked why and... Good lord I thought she hit her head when Luna told us she was in the hospital after fainting..."

"Always was a fainter.... Take it Sweetie had to stay with Scoot and Applebloom that day?" AJ nodded.

"Yep... Applebloom had to ask if they could stay over for a night or two... At first Diamond didnt wanna because of something... Think it was a dinner her father was holding but until Scootaloo told her what happened she told the girls to get over to Silver's place and she'll meet them there... Called Silver, told her to let em in and they stayed there for a few days... Hard to believe them girls were at each others throats once... Now? Couldnt be closer than anything else..." She sat down on the other couch and sighed leaning back. "...After you're done there I'll make a call to Twilight, ask her what the ETA is on her homecomin'... Just wanna give you a little somethin' to look forward to... And... If you have to go outside for any reason and you see anyone we know, Dash, Shy, Rarity or... Who ever for that matter, please... just stay with Babs and let her do the talkin... If they dont listen.... Make em.... Do what ever you gotta... Spill secrets they'd know..." I nodded having a mouth full of sandwich in my mouth. I think I just savored this sandwich mostly to give AJ a bit more time with me. It honestly felt kinda.... well.... Depressing... Knowing I was dead. Knowing that these ponies didnt see me for a while, saw me in a pine box.... Most likely with the Equestrian flag draped over it and such.... Knowing I left behind a kid.... A wife and sister who loved me... all my friends and extended family...

When I got my clothes back from Applejack after cuddling with Babs for a while I got changed back into my jumpsuit, tying the arms around my waist after zipping it up so far just to help stay up. Babs huffed as I came out of what was Big Mac's room. It was a guest room, nothing special. I looked to Babs as she got up from the couch. "Alright... So.... Applejack said I could take ya home... Make sure you're comfortable here. Uh... A-Anything you need before we go? Anywhere you wanna stop at? I can getcha somethin' if you need it... food, pop, some uh... Padding if you want it..." She said blushing. She looked away. "I mean.... o-only if you wanna stop and get it.... I... uh.... Oh man... I...."

I came right over to her and hugged her. I could tell she was just all nervous and flustered about this. "Breathe.... We can stop but... I think I'd rather stay out of the public eye if I can help it..." I said. As I released her I looked into her eyes, seeing just a little tear build up. "Here. Go outside, tell your driver or what have you to get things ready and such. I gotta... I just gotta check with Applejack just real quick..." She nodded breathing deeply.

"Alright uh... but... Hurry... She's in her room...." I nodded and watched as she went for the door. She hesitated a bit but slipped right out. I hurried upstairs and stopped at the bedroom door. Closed. I just gave a knock and listened closely.

I heard a sigh. "Come in...." I heard AJ say. I opened the door and made my way in only to see her on the bed cuddling a pillow. I sat down on the bed just placing a hand on her thigh.

"AJ... I'm gonna be leaving here... Just... I'm just here to check if you're okay... Are you okay?" Applejack sat up and leaned on me.

"...I just.... this experience is making me miss ya more and more.... Just havin' you gone for so long then.... show up on the doorstep, sister cryin'... Just too good to be true..." I sighed hugging her.

"...This hurts for me just as much...." I replied. "...Just... Please... Promise me no matter what happens that you're gonna stay strong for my sister and your family..."

"...I.... I promise..." She started whimpering into my shoulder. I sighed grabbing her phone. I tried the only code I remember. Our wedding day. And it was just that. She had a picture of me with our daughter in my arms, leaning against a tree in the sunset. I went into her texts, saw texts from Dash, Fluttershy, even Applebloom, Big Mac and even Gilda surprisingly. I went for Scootaloo's text. Last text I saw from her was a picture of Scoot and Celestia at a bar... Swear to Celestia I sure hope nothing went on there. I quickly sent a text telling Scoot to come on back and that I'd be with Babs. I set AJ's phone back down, lied her in her bed and kissed her cheek. As I walked out I felt horrible leaving her like this... when I was just about to go out the door... It hurt.... It's like I was being kicked out. Took a last look at everything before just stepping out.

This? This almost destroyed me. As I stepped out I just froze seeing Babs leaning on a car. But it just wasnt any car. It was MY car. My dominator! My baby! I stepped closer, my mouth agape, staring at my beautiful car. Babs huffed coming over to me and closing my mouth for me throwing an arm around me. "...At least she's in good hands..." She said walking me to the passengers side. "If it makes you feel any better you taught me to fix it up, replace parts and such, even taught me and Scootaloo how to drive in this thing...." She opened the door and helped me down into the passenger seat. Felt a bit sticky with something... soda I hope... "Tell you what.... I could see if I cant take you down somewhere private and let you drive this thing around for a while if you want.... Otherwise we can just head back to my place..."

I didnt wanna even say anything.... Mostly out of fear that i'd say something causing me to cry or her. She hugged me before closing the door and hurrying over to the other side. She got in and fired it up. Just roared to life. She pulled around and drove off back down towards the road. As we got to the road I looked off towards Ponyville. Looked more or less the same. Castle just towering over everything, glimmering in the sunlight. She turned away from Ponyville. I could only listen to the engine. Well... Until she started the music. Radio played some rock, a pop song and a few soft rock songs. One I've which I've heard but the others were foreign. I mean... Probably really could be foreign. Couldnt understand what the guy was even saying. I saw us pass the Summer Home. Guards still patrolled the perimeter, gates shining just as if they were just made. I looked to Babs. Eyes glued to the road. "Babs...?" I said. She glanced at me.

"Yeah Ryder?"

"....I just.... I cant help but think about AJ.... I'm worried for her...."

"I'll make sure Scoot does her best to watch over her. And hey... I get it.... After hearing everything that happened to ya.... Hearing the shit you left behind.... Hurts.... My dad? He gave me the house when I was old enough.... Took care of myself, still live off his wallet mostly but I got myself a stable job that someone... You... you were the one inspired me to even become a guard.... Saved me so I could save more.... And your sister? Taught her to fix up cars like anything else.... First thing she fixed up was Gilda's bike... Found new parts, replaced em and still made it work... She even knew those parts would go bad one day and... Well... Even though she said they were stolen that she already paid them off with community service... Think she even works at the old garage you used to work at from what she says." I huffed.

"Hopefully those assholes who worked with me are gone... Dont want any of them touching her."

"No worries. She's got my number and I'm only a few minutes out. Even though she runs that place its safer those guys are gone.... All fresh workers. Place was a shit hole."

"No kidding... When I worked there it was horrible.... Boss was a scumbag who wanted me to sabotage cars.... One day someone comes in to replace the gas tank because some dumbshit filled it with three different fluids. Had to pay to have it towed because she was afraid of starting it. I drained it, had oil, gas and windshield wiper fluid. My boss? He told me to put rocks in her tank before giving her a free fill up. I tossed those rocks when he wasnt looking, acted like I was putting them in without him looking... Just kicked a wrench between my feet to make the sound believable.... Filled her up, told her to go to a garage down the road next time... Didnt see her again.... Few cars later shit got worse, next thing I know I'm rolling up to my parents place in my car, Big Mac driving a moving van behind me...."

"Heh... Good... Two of em were arrested, others left because of their morals. Many sued, most for a new car, others for cash they lost having to get their cars fixed. Some had to change the suit towards the boss and I heard he lost his house, car, everything.... Last I heard of him he was either in jail or dead... Maybe one then the other...." I huffed looking out the window again at the trees and bushes along the road side.

"Sure hope so.... Fuck that garage... I'd prefer guard life over chop shop any day..." I glanced back at Babs. "So uh... Where we going?"

"Back to my place. Got some stuff to distract you, place you can sleep and got some food stuffs for when you're ready to eat. AJ told me y'got sick when you saw that little memorial she has... Just shows how much she still loves you..." She sighed starting to slow up before a black iron gate. Walls were painted into a mural of Manehattan with the mirror pool where Babs old home once stood, hilighted by a golden apple. She reached for the glovebox and opened it only to take out a small remote. I caught a peek and saw a few pads, some CDs and a can of mace. This was a silver can, spray handle, pin in it just because the stupid trigger likes to go off sometimes... I'd know because word travels fast in the guard and I heard that there was a worker in Fillydelphia that basically maced her whole workplace, customers and coworkers only because a can of mace went off in her backpack when she set it down. Someone called an emergency in and guards almost determined that it was a gas leak of some sort. Yeah. That bad. Anyways the gate opened and she drove right in when it was opened far enough. The house itself was a pretty good size. Two floors, maybe an attic, painted a nice red and white combo, a few apple trees in a small garden in the back of the compound, flowers around them. The drive was a nice lava stone brick. Didnt really remember the name of the stone. It was a dark grey, lined up all nice. She pulled to a stop as we got close to the door. "Alright. Get out, make yourself at home. Bedrooms upstairs, living room downstairs, raid the fridge if you wanna but ask if you want some pop. I aint sharin' my lemon lime soda unless you ask." I huffed.

"Noted... Now you mind helping me up outta here? Just feeling...." She sighed.

"I know that feeling... That depressed, dont wanna move feeling. That and... Well... Feeling a bit tired after getting sick... Right?" I nodded. "Got it. Now get that door open. I'll be around in just a sec and please dont be dead weight... at least try to pull your weight." I nodded giving a yawn. I watched as she got out of the car and hurry around to the other side. I opened my door and got my legs out. She helped me stand up and walked me into the house. Inside was nice. White walls, a nice dark oak detailing towards the bottom. Kitchen was off to the right down a hall, stairs in front of us, living room area to the left. She carried me over to the couch in the living room area and got me down on the couch. "Here we go.... Chill here. Gonna go get some chips and something to drink. Fire up the TV if you wanna, find something to watch... I'll call AJ in a bit if you wanna check on her... Alright?" I nodded.

After a while of watching TV and snacking I felt back to strength. Still frightened by what I saw and heard yeah but... I'm here with Babs, someone who looked up to me and apparently follows in my footsteps in becoming a guard... Maybe not the way I did but... She's been holding on well. Didnt want her to worry about me while I was here. After we were done with snacking she brought me upstairs into an office space. Dual monitor set up, gaming PC, controllers, consoles and all this other shit. Web cam and all too. Looked high tech. She sat me down in the chair and started messing around with it for a bit. Pulled up a video chat app, double clicked on a name I knew belonged to Applejack because she has the app yet for my knowledge doesnt use it all that much. We waited as it showed Applejack's picture surrounded by ringing phones. They soon faded away before Applejack's picture moved to the corner and it showed Applejack in the living room on the couch. She smiled. "...Ah... Hey there sugarcube... Babs told me you were worried about me..." She said. "Well dont you worry... I'm fine... Just well..."

I huffed. "I know AJ.... you miss me... I bet if you could see me... Your me.... he'd miss you too..." I said. "Speaking of me... Did you talk to Twilight?" Applejack nodded.

"Yeah. She's gonna be on her way home tomorrow morning and should be here by nightfall. And from the sound of it she didnt believe me... Called Rarity to even make sure I wasnt eating any bad apples or smoking anything thats making me see things... Hell Scoot even backed me up and she still doesnt believe it."

Babs chuckled a bit putting a hand on my shoulder. "Well she's gonna be surprised just like I was..." She said. "...Hopefully not with him butt naked after a shower. But.. Hey... anything could happen at this point..." I blushed a bit. So did Applejack.

"Uh... Right... Almost didnt letcha do that but.... Eh.... Guess'n it kinda was more of a surprise for him huh sugarcube?" I nodded. "Yeah... Y'werent expectin' that little filly all grown up... Wasnt expecting you to just drop right out of the sky..."

I huffed. "...Well... I can tell you it definitely hurt a bit... Not gonna be surprised if I go back and you ask about any bruises I got...." I replied. "But... Thanks for letting me know you're okay... I worry about you before and after death... Is Scootaloo around?"

"Eeyup." She replied nodding. "She's puttin' Mash down to bed.... Want me to get her in here?" I nodded. We could only watch as she left her phone behind on the table and went around the couch only to hurry upstairs. We waited a moment before we saw her and Scootaloo coming downstairs. Scootaloo hopped the couch as Applejack went around.

I saw Scootaloo smile brightly. "Ryder! Good to see you're okay!" She said. "I was so worried when Applejack told me you got sick! Are you feeling okay?" I nodded. "That's good but uh... You... You arent mad at me for scaring you with that knife are you?" She kinda blushed looking nervous.

I sighed. "Scoot, you gotta do what you need to protect yourself... AJ told me Celestia gave it to you... that true?" Scootaloo nodded.

"Yeah. It was a birthday present.... She gave it to me after a guy called the guard on me for kicking his ass after a night at the bar. Broke his arm. Asshole tried to lie to the guard saying I assaulted him, bar security cameras said otherwise. Celestia came to me the next day, gave me a knife and even trained me to fight just about everyone who wanted to hurt me. First guy who tried something at another bar I planted that in the bar top, paid for my drink, tipped a bit extra for the bar and the mess the guy made pissing himself. Cant remember if you were there or not for it.... Been so long..." I sighed.

"....You're a big girl Scoot... Proud of you then, and proud of you now... And... Thank you for being there for Applejack... I'm sure you both needed each other as much as anything... Continue to be there for each other... I'll see if I cant get with you two tomorrow... Maybe see some of the others... Prove them I'm the real deal until Twilight comes back... And yeah... I know I dont wanna do all that much to bring attention to myself but... You know... I get bored sitting around...."

Applejack smiled a bit throwing an arm around my sister. "Yeah... Just like you..." She said. "Alright... I'll be coming to get ya in the morning from there. Bring ya to Twilight's castle and make sure everyone is there but uh... Brace yourself once that happens..."

"Pinkie?"

"Pinkie."

"Had a feeling... Also speaking of the castle... Is Spike there? Or is he with Twilight?" She thought for a moment.

"Well... Aint gonna hurt to check...." She looked to Scootaloo. "Scoot can ya do your brother a favor and check? Just.... Make it something that aint gonna make him question things." Scootaloo nodded before getting up. Applejack looked back at the camera. "She'll figure that out, get back to ya. Think for now its safe to say its time for some shut eye... If anythin' is gonna be botherin' ya.... Dont be afraid to wake my ass up and talk my ear off Ry... Lord knows hearin' your voice is something I like hearin...."

"Yet I wouldnt wanna disturb your beauty sleep... A beautiful mare like you needs to rest no matter what...." She blushed and smiled.

"...Alright.... Just get off to bed while my eyes are still dry... Night Sugarcube.... Be good for Babs now y'hear?" I gave a nod. "And Babs?"

Babs stood up moving me a bit. "Yeah Applejack?" She asked.

"I dont wantcha going crazy with him.... As much as I didnt need to know this information.... We dont need a repeat of Sweetie Belle...."

"Y-Yes ma'am..." Babs averted her gaze when I glanced at her. I looked back at the screen.

"Good. Now goodnight y'all. See ya in the morning." I was about to say something but the call cut out leaving me feeling a bit... hurt.... Babs huffed and started walking towards the door.

I got up and followed her closely. "Babs? Everything okay?" I asked following her down the hall. She said nothing as we walked into her room. Queen sized bed, big enough for the both of us. Black covers, metal frame bedding, neon signs against the far wall with a jukebox against the wall. I could see it stocked with records, old and new from the looks of some of these records. Window looked out to the road, handgun set out, taken apart and a loaded clip nearby. We sat down on the bed and I offered my hand. "...I'm here for you Babs... Bit for your brains there?" She took my hand and leaned on me.

Babs stayed silent for a moment, feeling my hand with her thumb. She sighed. "....Y'know... This reminds me of that fateful day.... a day I just cant help but remember.... Scared the living shit outta me.... you... Even Scootaloo...." She said. "...I remember asking Scootaloo about what happened... what she saw that day.... Told me she was getting lunch with my dad, the rest of your family.... Applejack was outside and when things started going bad she just.... froze... blacked out after she started screaming. Next thing you know she's in a dream with Luna.... crying into her shoulder about her.... Surprise to me she even told me Luna wanted to adopt her and take her to Canterlot...." I huffed.

"Guess it still affects you huh....?" She nodded. "Alright.... Just breathe.... things are alright.... You've done so well this far in life. Proud of you." She breathed deeply hugging me. Repeated a few more times. "There we go... Just keep breathing...." She nodded and just kept breathing, her hands interlocking on my side holding me tight. We sat there for a good minute or two in silence, me helping her keep her composure. Once she was calm she broke off and sat herself up. "Alright... Better?" I asked. She nodded. "Good... Now... Can I ask you what she said about not needing a repeat of Sweetie Belle?" She chuckled a bit blushing.

"Well... It was her 18th, Rarity let her get drunk on wine and... Well.... She did say she wanted to be railed hard.... I was sure I lubed that toy up real good before going to town... Little blood in the morning freaked her and her sister out, they went to the hospital and I was forbidden to come back until maybe a few months after when I could actually apologize and she wanted something... smaller than her sisters dildo.... Makes sense right?"

"Totally see that... Twenty three, I tried toying with myself.... I ripped something, bled a lot and just.... Holy hell if my parents were home they'd've seen a thing that just... They'd've questioned if I wasnt gonna die and if they questioned what I was into even with my marefriend at the time...." She blushed and shifted her body a bit. "Something wrong?" She didnt answer. Just... Put a hand on her lap and moved her closest hand closer to mine. I rested my hand on hers and she blushed very hard. "Babs... Is there something you wanna tell me?"

"....I uh.... Well.... Just...."

"Go on... You can say it.... I'm not gonna be mad...." I watched as she stammered a bit. Even looking around for words to use. When she found those words after a moment she looked to me.

"Ryder.... Ever since you saved me that day I just felt drawn to you... Like... Like I was just.... My dad said it was just because I saved you and that you were just doing your job.... Even told me that you wouldnt even care if I said anything... When you died.... I.... I never got a chance to show you how much I appreciated you saving me... Will you let me show my... 'appreciation'...?" I gave a hesitant nod. She smiled. "Alright, let me just... slip into something more comfortable. Stay right here." I nodded again and she got up before backing up out the door. Once out of sight I sat here on her bed for a moment. Got up and took a closer look at the gun. The frame sat with some of the components outside of it. Slide and barrel was put together, trigger mechanism needed putting back together and such. Something I could probably do in an hour. I went and looked at other things. Gaming console below a flatscreen on the wall across from the bed, selection of games there as well. I didnt take time to check the games out as I heard a door close before hearing a whistle. I went to the bed and sat back down just staring at the door. "Alright Ryder.... Tell me whatcha think..." I saw Babs stick one leg in front of the door from the right side. And yeah... it was that stereotypical movie thing where some sexy distraction has to come into play. All I saw on her was a white stocking with a burgundy red striping. Next she just stepped into the door frame, same stocking on the other leg, a skirt on with panties underneath that had no crotch to them, a bra that just was a bit too small, showing off her well endowed tits.... She walked right over to me and all I could do is just look at her body as my pants grew a bit tighter. She pushed me back on her bed and climbed on top of me. "All this silence about this but I'm not hearing a no... You really must like this." Honestly... I'd be lying to myself saying this was wrong but then again I fucked my own mother... and cousin.... "Go on Ryder... Take me....." She lied down on top of me, kissed me before just helping me out of my shirt. I was paralyzed almost. After my shirt was off she took the rest of the jumpsuit off me, underwear and all.

"Babs.... I...." She shushed me.

"Dont talk... Just let me do all the work..." She stroked my cock a bit, kissing the shaft going towards the tip. She only got the tip into her mouth before she started jerking me off right into her mouth. I just held my head up watching her. One hand on my cock, the other between her legs... Definitely could tell because I could see her arm moving a bit. I felt myself flare up quickly but she stopped sucking and brought her arm away. "Ah ah! Not yet...." She got up and walked over to the wall putting both her hands on it before sticking her flank out. Cutie mark in plain sight. Apple shaped pair of scissors, panties showing off her ass and her pussy. "...Pick a hole and go for it.... I need it...." I got up kicking my clothes and shoes right off.

"Babs... Why dont we go somewhere.... more risky....? There's been something I've always wanted to do...." She bit her lip.

"Ah... Risking a little indecent exposure 'officer'?" I gave a nod blushing. "Alright... Follow me.... And stay saluting otherwise I'm gonna have to give you a ticket...." I nodded and followed her as close as I could. She took me back downstairs and outside. The air outside was cool. We walked over to the little garden area, lit with a lamp. It was almost like a tiny park. Bushes around us, a tree above a stone bench. She sat me down and just teased her pussy with my cock. "This for me? I should arrest you for packing this much heat...."

"Babs..." She snickered a bit.

"Alright alright... No more guard things.... just.... do what you can now...." She turned around putting my cock between her legs and slowly eased herself onto it. Thought at the angle she was at I couldnt help but pick her up and ease her more down onto it.

"Heh... How cute is this... somepony wants to sit on my lap... seems like a naughty little school filly wearing panties like these...." I set her feet down on the bench and moved my hands up to her waist.

"....Oh please sir.... I'm the sweetest little filly you're ever gonna have sit on your lap.... How do I feel?"

"Tight.... Hot...." I huffed. "Why dont you lean back and hold on? This is gonna be a hell of a ride...." She did just that easing herself back, throwing an arm around my shoulder. "Oh yeah... just like that.... Give that skirt a little lift.... show yourself off to everypony watching...." She let out a little giggle reaching down with her other hand, stroking my cock before lifting her skirt up.

"O-Okay mister.... I hope everypony can see you pumping my pussy... You feel so good...." I huffed starting to thrust upwards. She moaned loudly not expecting it. "YES! Yes Ryder! FUCK ME!" Definitely sure if this actually were a public park I'm sure we'd have some ponies looking at us funny... either that or with their hands in their pants.... I swear her moans were the best. Like she was holding back but couldnt as I thrusted deeper and deeper inside of her. I felt the fire in my loins burn hotter as I drew near to my climax. For a moment? I actually believed we were in a public park showing off ourselves to everyone.... She came almost screaming. Her cunt squeezed my cock as she squirted, pissing almost. And that was the moment I just broke. I had to pull out as fast as I could before shooting load after load right onto her. All over. Her skirt, stomach, her pussy and I even managed to get some onto her face. She collapsed onto my lap, panting just about as hard as I was. All she could do was look at me, kiss me lovingly on a cheek before I had to pick her up and walk with her back into the house and upstairs. We both had the strength to shower up, help each other wash off before we went to sleep in her room, tightly cuddled together in nothing but our underwear... She honestly looks good in green panties... Didnt even bother with a bra. Though she was the one doing most of the cuddling. Crazy day but eh.... Normal for me? I guess?

To be continued
