What's a better way to wake up on a comfortable bed the morning after? To wake up on a comfortable bed the morning after, with a soft, cute, purple furball cuddling into your side. That's the bliss I got to enjoy when I woke up that morning and felt Twilight cling to my side, softly mumbling in her sleep. I brought a claw up to her head and began softly petting her, stroking over her ears and along her mane, down to her shoulders where I then reversed the action. She reacted by slightly pushing her head into my palm in her sleep and soflty smiling. It was a truly blissful moment for me and judging by her face, she too was in heaven. She began to stir slightly and a soft, purple shimmer met my eyes as she opened hers. She spotted me and hummed pleasuredly, before her eyes slowly drifted shut again.

Suddenly, her eyes burstopen and she recoiled a few centimeters, panting and having a slightly disturbed look on her face. I was looking a ther in worry, as she seemed to recall last night's events. When finally every came back to her, she hid her face behind her hooves and groaned in agony and embarassment.

"I- I'm sorry, Alex! I didn't- I don't know- Why did...?" She stammered, muffled by her own hooves. "I don't know what came over me yesterday, I'm sorry! Oh Celestia, I have ruined our relationship! I forced you into doing such things with me and I didn't even think about what you want!"

I decided that before she would twilight again, I would have to show her my side of the situation and what better way to do so than with a good old show of affection? Thus, I just pulled her in and gave her a passionate morning-after-kiss. She stiffened up at first, apparently not having expected such an action, but quickly welcomed it by loosening up and leaning in herself.

"Twilight, do you really think I would have let last night happen if I didn't want to? I do not regret anything I did or said and to answer your question from yesterday more clearly: Yes, I do accept your feelings." I said as we parted.

The reaction was immediate, as her purple face got a pink tint, which she tried to hide by pressing it into the bedsheets below her. She gave a shy glance over to me, before she suddenly stood up.

"Right, we shou-whoa!" She almost lost her balance, as her still swollen belly swung underneath her. She looked down and prodded it carefully with a hoof, before looking over to me, trying to hide her amusement behind a deadpan look. "You know, when I said 'fill me up', I didn't quite expect you to literally do that. At least not this much..."

I looked at her and smirked. "You better get used to this soon then. After all, in a few months you might look like this again."

Twilight looked at me quizzically for a moment, before realization visibly hit her and she blushed and tensed. She turned her head to the side and her ears flopped down against her head. "Alex, I... I'm sorry, but I think there's something about mares that you don't know..." She righted herself again and looked at me. "We... only get pregnant when we are in heat and... that was not the case with me this time and unless your sperm can survive for half a year, I highly doubt that I'm going to be."

"Well, in that case, we will just have to try again when you are in heat, right?" I asked. as a reaction, Twilight smiled a little awkwardly, seemingly happy about the idea, but at the same time questioning if she would be ready to be a mother.

"Uh, yeah, right, uhm anyway.. Like I said, we shoul- OW!" She whined as she turned to hop off the bed. She then looked down to her belly again and rubbed over it a little, before she chuckled and smirked at something.

"Twilight, what's wrong?" I asked in worry, but she only turned to me with half-lidded eyes and a seductive smirk and sat down on her hindquarters, lifting her forelegs up in a T-pose to display her (still swollen) belly.

"It seems you were pretty thorough in marking your territory last night..." She said, striking the most sexy pose a girl has ever myde for me... well, and the only one thus far, but hey, you've got to take what you get.

Anyways, with her pose, she displayed to me where my 'excess' from last night had gone, as her whole coat from her throat to her lower belly was covered in a layer of dried dragon semen. In a way, it was one of the most satisfying views I had ever gotten, but at the same time it made me feel sorry for her as I could imagine that this wouldn't be all that easy to get out of her fur. But before she would wash it off, I would make sure to take in every inch of this glorious view. The light white tint in her fur, the subtle lines running from her neck to her lower end, past two cute little nubs which were pushed out ever so slightly by the bulge they sat on.

A truly sexy view. So sexy in fact, that it almost made me pop a boner right there, but I could (luckily) control myself... a little. Twilight giggled when she saw my obvious strain to keep myself in check and, just to tease me, she rubbed her own nubs with her hooves slowly, in a way that gave me a nearly unobstructed view on the action.

I quickly averted my eyes, causing Twilight to giggle again, before she got back up to her hooves and made her way to a second door in the room that likely led into an adjacent bathroom. "Anyways, I better clean myself up before I do anything else. On that note, I should probably also try to get rid of that bulge, lest somepony thinks I'm preg... Oh, what am I saying?! This is the perfect opportunity to research Dragon genetics!" Twilight suddenly changed into mad scientist mode and levitated a set of vials from a shelf, before darting into the bathroom.

Meanwhile, I chuckled to myself, having seen quite a lot of similar scenes during the past year. Although, indirectly being the test subject of this one felt a bit... disturbing. Thus, to distract myself a little, I decided that there was more than just my newfound marefriend that needed cleaning. I looked at the bedsheets and saw the massive stain that we had made last night and thus swiftly did what any good boyfriend would do and took off the stained bedsheets and collected them in a pile. However, I did not know where Twilight kept her fresh ones and it gave me a perfect excuse to walk in on her in the shower.

When I opened the door, I was immediately hit with a wave of steam and when my vision cleared, my eyes were welcomed with a sight to behold. Before me, there stood Twilight with her wet mane clinging to her coat and her head turned to her own hindquarters, where she was apparently concentrating on something else she was doing.

She hadn't noticed me yet and I decided that that could wait, as my eyes drifted down to where she was looking. I saw one of the vials, held within her magical grip, slowly ascend towards her marehood. She braced herself shortly, before she pushed it in, causing herself to moan in some weird pleasure. She then lightly pressed down on her belly, which let a stream of my semen flow into the vial, filling it near instantly. It was an arousing sight... in a very odd way.

Out of the corner of her eye, she apparently noticed me watching and, after a short look of surprise, she gave me a seductive smirk and wiggled her butt.

"Like what you see?" She asked and I quickly looked away to not get pulled into this any further.

When my head was clear again, I asked the question which I originally came in for and left, as soon as I had my answer. I then quickly changed the sheets and hopped into the shower immediately after Twilight, to rid myself of the salty scent that I had noticed on myself. Then, I made ready to start my day.

Aaah, and off we go. Well, I hope there won't be any strange situations this time around. Not like the previous 365 days where I thought this.

"I can't make any promises, but I can give you some advice. You remember Starlight walking in on you yesterday?"

Euh, yes?

"Good. Turns out, after seeing you two, she had a little situation herself, right between her hind legs and unless you want to be caught up in another, very sticky situation, I'd advise you steer clear of her room for now."

Taking Navi's advice to heart, I took the long route to the staircase, which allowed me to avoid passing Starlight's door on my way outside. I stepped through the door, changed sizes again and walked towards the Everfree.

Time to get some Breakfast.

A few days later, I found myself on my usual route through the everfree again. All was quiet and peaceful and I allowed my mind to wander. That was, when I remembered something I had wanted to ask Navi ever since we left the Crystal Empire.

Yo Navi?

"Hm?"

Say, when I asked you about what happened after the mirror incident, you said that I was pretty close with my computer analogy. What exactly did you mean with that?

"Ah... huh, how to explain, how to explain... Well... Alright, let's start like this: Do you remember that one game from my father's universe: the SimpsTM? You can imagine your whole universe being pretty much like this to me."

Ah, I s- wait a moment, your father? Do you mean my old world's god is your father?

"Yep. didn't see that one coming, huh?"

Yeah, it's quite a surprise... And right now, you are basically a dude sitting in front of a PC and playing some little game?

"Well, kinda... you see, I don't need quite the extensive hardware that you have been using. In fact, the universes we create look like bubbles floating around, which we can access and influence simply by touching it. However, like I said before, it behaves similar to a computer, meaning that behind the scenes there are millions of processes running, files being accessed and data being read. The amount of computational power behind all this is far beyond what you may imagine."

Yeah... I mean it is logical. After all, our computers can hardly be as strong as yours if your machine currently is strong enough to simulate millions of devices being run at the same time. Although... does it even work that way? I mean you said that it's basically just a bubble... how do you access it anyways?

"Access is actually pretty simple, we just kinda meld with it and then have access to everything. And before you ask: yes I know that the christian bible says that you were created to look like my father and to that I can say... kinda. In actuality, you would probably perceive us as some sort of... 'fluidic light' if that makes sense. However, we like to take material forms just because we can and father likes bipedal forms a lot."

And I take it you like quadrupeds?

"Exactly. I must say, you are taking this awfully well. Not like the ones I told in my father's universe..."

Oooh, that sounds like there's a story behind it! Lemme hear!

"Euh, yeah, well.. ok. You see: one time me and my father had a little... dispute over how to run our universes. I tried to tell him that my universe is mine and his is his, but in the end that didn't stop him from doing some divine shit in mine. That's how this whole 'Faust' thing got started, which I then tried to fix by ascending Celestia and Luna and advertised them as 'descendants of Faust'. Anyways, I went to have my little vendetta and told a few hundred people how the 'actual' world looked like. Needless to say they all went batshit."

Aaaaaah, so that's how the Simulation-theory got started!

"Pretty much, yes. Also, I made it so that the day on which I did this was suddenly perceived by everyone as the inofficial prank day and then, to top it all off, I introduced my creation into his in the form of a kids TV series, which was oddly enjoyed not only by its intended group, but also by adults. I swear, his reaction was priceless."

Yep, I can imagine... but if you're realy only light, how did you get a cup of coffee?

"Umm... You know, 'Coffee' is actually not a substance, but a form of energy. Think of it as an electrical current that you zap yourself with to momentarily get more energy for whatever you were doing, at the expense of feeling drained afterwards because you just spent more energy than you'd normally have. As for why we've introduced it into our universes: it was literally just a matter of 'Eh, why not?'."

Pfff, that's the reason? Wow, you really have some serious issues, you know that?

"Remember: anything you perceive as an issue has at some point been created either by me or my father."

... True...

Somewhere, in a cave beneath the Badlands, a yellow stallion was sneaking through the darkness. The cave was, at first glance, just a regular old hole in the ground, but the stallion knew better. He knew that somewhere at the end of this cave, there would be a room, which was not at all of natural origin. the problem was, where to find it?

He searched through every single cavern he came across and knocked against every wall segment that seemed odd in any way. Yet, he found nothing.

"Dammit, this cave could really use a few signs! How should I bring my master something that I can't even find?!"

With a huff, he leaned against a perfectly ordinary wall that just so happened to be behind him. But as soon as his weight pressed against the stone, the wall shifted and rumbled and with a sudden jolt, the wall swung open, leaving Big Bang to topple over and fall flat onto his snout.

"OW! This shit really fuckin' hurts! Whoever did this better prepare for the worst!"

He looked around, trying to find his assailant, but found that there was nopony apart from him. He looked around more thoroughly and noticed that he was in a room. A room that looked very not-natural and definitely held some dark magic vibes to it. He cheered internally, as he knew, he had found what he came for.

He went further in, going through every nook and cranny in the walls, looking for what his master has sent him for. Though, when the first room yielded no results, he tried applying pressure on the walls around him, as there certainly had to be another adjacent room.

Sure enough, one of the walls actually gave in and revealed another room behind it. Said room was largely empty , as if it was never meant to be seen in the first place. An assessment that only got more weight when one saw the only other object in the room.

A small pedestal stood in the middle of the room and atop it, there was a ball. A large, glowing ball. It looked like a black dot which had a silvry ring spanning completely around it. What was distrubing about this thing was that one could clearly see the two rings even when one looked at it from the side, as if the two colours were constantly looking directly at you.

Big Bang didn't notice any of this. He just knew one thing: He had found what he came for and thus, with a quick swing of his hoof, he grabbed the orb, placed it into his saddlebags and went to leave. However, as soon as he vrossed the last door, the whole cave was shaken by a low rumble. Bang looked left and right to see what caused this and almost froze in place, as he saw a giant rock roll directly towards him.

He immediately did the only sensible thing one could do in a situation like this and started running his ass of. He tried diving into smaller caverns off to the side, but every time he did so, the rock would follow. He quickly decided that this was not gonna work, before he could hit a dead end, which would be literal in his sense.

His breathing became laboured, his legs started to ache, yet he kept running. Fueled only by Adrenaline, his legs protested against every step he took, but a quick look back to the gaining rock effectively silenced them.

Finally, salvation came in the form of a bright light shining through the entrance to the cave. With one final push, Big Bang managed of gain just a last few centemeters of clearance between him and the rock, before he left the cave and the rock became stuck at the entrance. He looked back, dusted himself off and collapsed to the ground.

"Damn, this fuckin' cave was tryna bury me! Now spare me with that bullshit and keep it for TV!"

In another cave, a few hours later, the same stallion stood before his master, holding the orb out towards him.

"Well done, Big Bang. You have proven your worth yet again." The voice of the master boomed through the halls.

Big Bang sighed in relief, as he very well knew what would happen if he were to disappoint his master. Yet, even a proper minion like himself couldn't help but ask questions.

"Yo master, you complimented me for that orb there and nothing honours me more... but I can't help but wonder, what I actually brought it for?"

The master glared down at his minion and in a low, growling voice he said: "If you expect me to give a stereotypical thorough explaination like these idiots Chrysalis and Tirek, then I'm sorry, but you've joined the wrong evil mastermind." He looked back down to the orb and let a sharp-toothed smile grace his lips. "However, I am in a good mood, so I will tell you this: In this orb slumbers full control over something that no Unicorn or Alicorn has truly mastered, although many have tried and even more still try."

Author's Note

Sorry for the delay everyone! I just had a pretty hard time finding inspiration and/or motivation to write this one. Mainly because up until now, I had neglected to proper map out the story. I did it now, so I should get a bit more done soon. Also: keep in mind that this story is being worked on with a timelimit, meaning that at some set point, I will write an ending to this thing, whether it feels right or not. Hurts me just as bad as it does you, probably, but I can't start something one way only to then do it in another.

Apart from that: Bonus chapter Alex X Starlight, yes/no? comment please!
