A New Life and a New Home.

As the morning sun rose, so began another day filled with griffons going throughout their days, doing their jobs and other day to day activities. As the sun shone through the window hitting Miles' face he was forced to crawl under the sheets. Sleeping tucked under the sheets Miles could not see what was approaching.

"HURRY UP! MONSTERS ARE ATTACKING THE DINING ROOM!" A griffon called out shaking the bed.

"I'm on it!" Miles bolted out of the room and down the halls.

"That serves him right for beating me in front of the king." The griffon smirked.

Running through the halls Miles rushed past griffons walking through the halls. Turning a corner he crashed into one of the servants and went tumbling to the floor. "Sorry but no time to waste! Got things to do and stuff!" Miles picked himself up and continued running down the hall.

"I'm here! Who do I have to kill?!" Miles burst into the dining room.

"Miles!" Fluttershy squealed in shock.

"Miles, you're here. And naked." Black-sun stared across the room.

"Who are you killing?" Spike bit into a gem nonchalantly ignoring Miles' manhood hanging freely.

"But....where....how....what?! Someone woke me up in a panic saying the dining room was being attacked by monsters." Miles walked over and took a seat between the king and Fluttershy.

"We sent rune to wake you up." Black-sun face-palmed. "At least she didn't but your hand in warm water."

"Yeah that would have been a bugger." Miles yawned. "Whats for breakfast?"

"Whatever you want." Spike shoveled more sapphires into his mouth.

"Fluttershy.........you know how you love me?" Miles rested his head on her shoulder.

"Yes....." Fluttershy looked back at him with curiosity.

"While we're here can I have some meat?" Miles pulled pulled puppy-dog eyes and in return received a venomous glare.

"But you promised." Fluttershy returned to her normal self.

"I know but I miss meat so much and it was a huge part of my diet back on Earth." Miles hung his head low.

"Hmm. If, and only if, the animals died from natural causes and weren't killed for the meat, I can tolerate it. But I'm still not keen on the thought of it." Fluttershy spoke authoritatively.

"Fine. It'll have to do." Miles dashed out of the room.

"Where are you going?" Fluttershy shouted after him.

"To order breakfast."

Running down the halls and into the kitchen, Miles frantically searched through the cupboards and shelves before being stopped by the head chef. "Why are you naked in my kitchen?!" The head chef shouted.

"Because, I'm hungry."

"Fine. How can I help you?" The chef rolled his eyes.

After explaining what he wanted in extensive detail Miles rejoined the rest of the group in the dinning hall. "Miss me?"

"You were gone?" Spike finished off his gems.

"Who are you?" Black-sun joked.

"I don't know. I think I'm a fish."

"Well, what did you order?" Fluttershy gave an expressionless look.

"You guilt tripped me so I went with flavored  tofu instead." He spoke as he kissed Fluttershy's cheek. "i hope its better than the stuff on Earth." Miles mumbled to himself.

"You're so thoughtful." Fluttershy rested her head on Miles' shoulder. "Even though it was because you felt guilty."

"Be careful, one day he may eat you." Black-sun chuckled as he took a swig from his drink.

"Oh he will be doing soon." Fluttershy commented as Miles and Black-sun spat their drinks across the table in surprise.

"Damn." Black-sun recovered from the initial shock.

"Can I speak with you for a moment please?" Miles ushered her out the door and into the hallway. "What was that comment about? I thought we weren't going to see each other as sexual objects."

"I...I'm sorry. But when I see you like this I get these thoughts and another side of me just comes out." Fluttershy whimpered.

"Well, I guess I should get some clothes on then. And, its partly my fault since I end up like this often." Miles scratched the back of his head.

"Lets finish breakfast and then we'll talk in private." Fluttershy walked back through the doors leaving Miles shaking his head.

"When did my food get here?" Miles looked for any chefs or waiters as he took his seat.

"Just now." Black-sun bit into some pancakes.

"Thank goodness this is here. I'm starved." Miles dug into his meal.

"What is that?" Black-sun licked his lips "It looks amazing. And tasty." He inched closer before reaching for the plate.

As Black-sun tried to snatch the plate before a fork jammed into the back of his claw. "My food." Miles grumbled stuffing more food into his mouth.

"OW! There was no need for violence." Black-sun nursed his claw.

"Don't steal my food. I haven't had a Full English in ages. Hell, it goes perfectly with my cup of tea. If I see you try to steal any of this heavenly food I will have you for lunch." Miles returned to eating.

"That looks really unhealthy, Miles. Should you be eating that?" Fluttershy eyed the meal.

"It tastes nice and I like it, so why not?"  Miles downed his drink.

"But its unhealthy. Its greasy, and fried, and could block your arteries."

"I'll live."

"Next time, can you not have bacon or tofu bacon?" Fluttershy examined the plate contents closely.

"No."

"Sausages?"

"Nope."

"Eggs?"

"No can do."

"That black thing?"

"Black pudding, no, and don't ask where it comes from. Its not pretty."

"Mushrooms? Beans? I guess the tomato and toast are alright."

"No, no, and why do you want me to eliminate parts of my meal?"

"Because its unhealthy for you and it could shorten your life."

"So can being stabbed, bitten and being cut open. I survived them."

"True, but I want you to live as long as you can."

"I don't have these everyday you know. I do take things in moderation."

"Not alcohol." Spike whispered over to Black-sun with a high-five.

"Oh snap!" Black-sun cheered.

"Shut it. I'v never eaten dragon before but I'll give it a go." Miles finished his meal as Fluttershy burst into a fit of giggles.

"Its true. You do go overboard with your drinks." She chuckled.

"I'm done with breakfast. I'm going to go get changed. And we're going to finish our conversation." Miles grabbed Fluttershy by the tail and lead her out the door.

"You're not mad are you?" Fluttershy didn't try to move as she let herself be pulled along the floor receiving odd looks from passing guards.

Entering the bedroom Miles placed her on one of the beds and began to walk around the room "Really? Is this how our relationship is going to be? You're going to start staring and losing control of what you do and say whenever I get like this?"

"I don't want to get like that. Its just...."

"Just what? I'm some sort of sex object? I'm a boy toy? A trophy boyfriend? Why are you even with me anyway? You could have anyone you want. And if you're wanting kids one day, the odds of it working between us are zilch. I'm pretty sure the genetics wont work."

"You're not a trophy coltfrient. And I don't care if I can have anypony I want. I want you. Yes, I admit I may have bragged a bit about dating you, but who wouldn't? And if it comes down to it and we can't have our own children, we'll adopt. I want nothing more than to be with you and Pinkie."

"If you love her like you say you do, then why weren't you two dating before you met me?"

"In all honesty, I wanted to. Me and Pinkie had a closer relationship with each other than with the rest of the girls. I always wanted to ask her but I was afraid she wouldn't return my feelings."

"Wow. Thats sweet."

"And then we met you and your fine fine ass and then we ended up in a three way relationship and I couldn't be happier." Fluttershy covered her mouth before she said anything else.

"This needs to stop. You need to stop this and I need to stop getting naked as much. Speaking of which, I was wearing clothes when we went to bed. What happened?" Miles picked the clothes off the floor and put them back on.

"Wasn't me. I went for breakfast not long before you barged in. Rune must have undressed you."

"I swear, its like I'm here for everyone to ogle. And did you just call it an ass? Isn't an ass another term for donkey or mule?"

"A derogatory term for one, yes. But its also another term for a tush." Miles just stared at Fluttershy.

"You are really not yourself when around me whenever I'm naked." Miles sat down next to the yellow mare.

"Then don't get naked." She nuzzled his cheek.

"Fine. You'll never see me naked again." Miles kissed her on the lips.

"Your loss. I went shopping yesterday, remember?"

"Oh yeah. Lets see what you got. I'm oddly curious." Miles pulled a bag from under the bed.

"Lets see. I think these will interest you the most." Fluttershy handed a medium sized box over to Miles.

"What do we have here? We have......nope." Miles closed the box and put it to one side.

"Whats wrong? I thought you would want that sort of thing."

"Listen. Its the thought that counts when buying things for others. But under no circumstances am I having anything go inside me."

"What? I got you some.....ooh. Those were for me and Pinkie." Fluttershy checked the contents of the box.

"Thank goodness for that. But why do you need them when you have me?"

"You aren't around all the time. These are for when you're busy."

"Oh. What did you get me then?"

"Here. These are what I got you." She handed over another box.

"This is more like it. Play-pony, butts magazine, hello...raunchy photos of you. Hang on, there are more. And more. And more. How many did you take?"

"About forty. And Pinkie is taking some back in Equestria."

"She knows about all these?"

"Oh yes. She thought it was a great idea. She even helped me pick the stuff I bought."

"But she isn't here.........the radio transmitters."

"Yep. Yours is still with your stuff by the way."

"I'v got to ask. How did you buy these? You're the most timid and shy thing I'v ever met. Normally just talking about this stuff would make you shy away."

"Pinkie ordered them and I payed for them. They got transported over here when I came over."

"Huh? You've lost me. How could you....what?"

"Pinkie ordered this stuff but it had to be specially requested and it just got in when I came over. I went into the market where she sent it over for me to pick it up."

"Makes some sense. But still, you need to stop saying inappropriate things in public. Its so unlike you."

"Well......."

"Well......?"

"Pinkie has been telling me hat to do and say." *squee*

Warning! Cuteness overload. Heart attack in T minus 3...2...1... Miles' face grew red. "That makes a lot of sense. But how about you leave the earpiece out while we're here?"

"Fine. I can leave the earpiece." She pushed Miles onto his back and stood over him. "But tonight I want a piece of you." Fluttershy's face became red and turned away.

"Is this Pinkie or Shy talking?" Miles rolled her over so that he was on top. "See, its not so bad when we have privacy. But shouldn't we wait for Pinkie? Its not fair to leave her out."

"I'm sure she can visit for the night." She lent in and licked the kissed the tip of his nose.

"We, I'm sure she wouldn't mind if we had a little bit of fun right now." Miles took off his clothes and jumped under the sheets.

*10 minutes later*

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!" Spike ran through the halls into the throne room. "Fluttershy. Miles. Miles needs help. Quick!"

"So I think if you take him onto the training....sorry, Rune, excuse me for a moment. Whats happened? Calm down and explain what happened."

"I went up to bring Miles down like you asked me to but when I got there I heard him moaning. Thinking he was in pain I opened the door and saw Fluttershy giving mouth to mouth. But....it wasn't his mouth. I think he needs medical help." The young dragon grabbed king Black-sun's claw and tried to take him to Miles' room.

"I..I think he'll be just fine. Fluttershy knows what she is doing."

"Spike! Spike! Slow down man, I'm not physically fit ya know." Miles walked into the room with nothing but a pillow covering his nads. "Oh. High everyone." Miles scanned the room full of guards, Rune, Black-sun and Spike.

"Miles! You're alright! You're not dying!" Spike ran and hugged his leg.

"I think there is some stuff that needs to be explained about what you saw."

"Oh, alright. What do I need to know?"

"Well, what you need to know about what you saw, will be explained by Black-sun while I go get changed." Miles ran out of the door chuckling maniacally.

"Rat bastard." Black-sun grumbled.

"What does rat bastard mean?"

"How much to forget you ever heard that?"

"Fifty bits. And ice-cream for supper tonight."

"Deal. And I think Rune would be the best suited to explain what you saw." Black-sun took off down the hallways leaving Rune and Spike together.

"Fine. This is what was going on..........." Rune went on to explain what Spike had seen.

*******************************************************************************************************

"Have you seen Miles anywhere?" Black-sun asked one of the guards lining the hallways throughout the castle.

"He went that way, your majesty."

"Thanks. Miles!" Black-sun called walking don the halls.

"Yeah?" Miles' voice echoed through the halls.

"You dressed?"

"Yeah."

"Good. And where are you?"

"Busy."

"Well, me and Rune have something for you." Black-sun followed the the echoes back to Miles. "Where are you?"

"I'm busy."

"Doing what? Hurry up we gotta go. If you're with Fluttershy, it can wait til later."

"God dammit. I'm taking a dump."

"Ah. Take your time." Black-sun stood next to one of the guards. "Morning, gentlemen."

"Morning your majesty." The guards replied in unison.

"Is the castle safe?" The king asked breaking the silence.

"Yes sir!" The guards answered.

"Good. Its good to know I hired the right guards." Black-sun commented as the silence grew awkward.

*flush*

"Oh thank goodness," Black-sun thought to himself.

"So, whats this thing you got for me then?" Miles exited the restroom resulting in a couple guards gagging from the smell.

"Permission to cover your noses granted." The king spoke to the guards which were on the verge of throwing up. "Do all humans make smells like that?" The two walked down the hallway towards the gardens.

"Sometimes. Why're we going outside anyway?"

"We're going to whip you into shape."

"OK, I guess. Any particular reason why?"

"You'll see when Celestia picks you up."

"Alright. Where's Fluttershy and Spike?"

"I spoke with Shy and she's going home soon and Spike is with Rune."

"Please tell me you didn't leave her to explain what he caught me and Shy doing?"

"Yeah....I may have dropped the ball on that one."

"The fuck Back-sun?!"

"You shouldn't have left him to me."

"It was funny though."

"Come on now. The time for joking is over. From now on its all business." The duo stepped out into the gardens which were teaming with guards both trainers and trainees.

"So....................what now?" Miles scanned the grounds.

"We go to the barracks and get you your stuff."

"Alright. Where is it?"

"Its over there." The king lead Miles over to a small cave in a hillside looking over the city. The hill was at the side of a large forest, inside guards shot through the air at breakneck speeds dodging round trees, practiced hand to hand and archery techniques, strength building exercises and general fitness courses spread throughout all of the dense forest.

"Nifty."

"Efficient too. The natural heat from the underground volcanic pits keep the place warm."

"An underground volcano, cool."

"Right, where's Rune?" The king thought aloud.

"Right here sir. Sorry for being late but I had to greet our guest on your behalf."

"Not to worry. Who is this guest?" Black-sun looked towards the entrance of the cave.

"It is only I, princess Luna" The princess stepped in followed by Rune who in turn was followed by Fluttershy carrying an alabaster white Spike. "I have just come to collect Fluttershy and Spike,"

"Holy crap man. What happened to you? You look like you saw a ghost."

"R-R-R-Rune told me everything."

"Yes, speaking of which, what was it that Rune told poor Spike?" Luna stroked Spike's head with her wing.

"Its nothing, really. So how come you came to collect them instead of getting a train or chariot?"

"It is quicker this way and normal unicorns are unable to teleport such distances."

"Fair enough."

"Shall we be off then?" Luna charged up her horn.

"Aren't you forgetting your shopping?"

"We already sent that back over. We just came by so that I could say goodbye."

"I'll see you when I come back home." Miles knelt down to kiss her goodbye.

"I can't wait. You, me and Pinkie together again." Fluttershy drifted into a daydream.

"Alright then. We'll be off. Thank you for letting Miles stay here while we make preparations. Oh, speaking of which, we might be done a little early if that isn't an inconvenience to you." Luna's horn began to glow.

"Not at all. I'll be glad to be rid of him." Black-sun smirked.

"I know where you live. I'll be coming back, so don't think you'll be rid of me that easily." Miles patted the king's side.

"I said enough joking around. Get your sword and wait outside." Black-sun spoke in a stern voice.

"What?...But....you just.....huh?"

"Outside. Now."

"Well fuck you too." Miles chuntered as he walked outside.

"What was that?!"

"Nothing." Miles quickened his pace.

Waiting outside the cave entrance, Miles was greeted by Rune leaving the barracks.

"You ready for training?"

"Yeah."

"That yes ma'am!" Rune slapped him around the face.

"Yes ma'am."

"Drop and give me fifty!"

"You got to be kidding me."

"Now scum bucket!" She hit Miles round the face once more.

Following orders, Miles got into position and started doing push-ups. "One........two........three........four-"

"Faster!"

"Five......six......seven......eight......nine......ten......eleven......twelve-"

"Move it!"

"Thirteen...fourteen...fifteen...sixteen...seventeen......eighteen-"

"Faster! Do not slow down!"

"Nineteen.....................................twenty." His arms could no longer hold his weight and fell face first into the dirt. "I'm done. Arms. Hurt. They burn."

"Pathetic! You're a disgrace!"

"Thats not what your mother said." Miles replied only to get a kick in the ribs. "Yeah, I deserved that."

"Get running! One lap around the training grounds."

"How long is that? If I may ask."

"Three and a half miles! Now move it!"

"God kill me now." Miles started running around the grounds.

Running at a steady pace to conserve energy, Miles jogged with Rune jogging to his right. "Move it! Move it! Move it!"

"Getting. Tired. Legs. Hurt. Chest. Hurts." He slowed down to a slow walk  before stopping for breath.

"Thats what you get for being fat! We have only gone two hundred meters!"

Miles sat down on the ground with sweat dripping down him creating a small pool on the ground beneath. Rune stood there face-palming at the sorry sight before her.

"I heard you were better than this."

"When?"

"When testing with the princesses. I was informed that you ran fast, had incredible strength and quick reflexes. But all I see here before me is a LARGE SACK OF SHIT!"

In a bright flash of light Miles and Rune turned to see Twilight standing before them. "You!"

"Me?" Miles asked confused.

"Both of you! Spike told me everything."

"What did he tell you Twilight?" Miles played innocent.

"Spike is scared to death! He won't come out of his room and refuses to talk to anyone!"

"Why's that?" Miles' eyes darted from side to side.

"He told me how Rune explained that you had gotten ill from dragon meat and Fluttershy was doing something to save you!"

"Oh yeah." Rune snapped her talons. "That was complete crap. Spike caught Miles getting head from her."

"Oh shit." Miles walked backwards as Twilight drew closer, her mane on fire, her fur white and her eyes red.

"Spike saw you and Fluttershy doing indecent things?!"

"Maybe." Miles turned and ran as fast as he could with Twilight not far behind.

Miles ran past other guards in training, jumped over obstacles and made tight turns round trees with the angry unicorn in hot pursuit.

"Yes! Yes! Yes! Run you fat bastard!" Rune flew just overhead to keep track of the fleeing human.

Without rest, Miles fled from the furious Twilight as she shot magic blast after magic blast at him. Looking back Miles saw he was pulling away as Twilight started walking at a normal pace. Turning back to look forward Miles slammed into a tree and onto his back. Looking up at the sky above Twilight came into view with a sinister smile on her face.

"Remember when I told you I had an old saw in my basement?"

"Vaguely."

"If Spike catches you doing anything indecent again, you can say bye-bye to your baby makers. Do I make myself clear?"

"Crystal."

"Alright then." Twilight turned back into her normal cheery self. "See you when you get back. Have fun." And with a flash she was gone.

"So. How did I do."

"I can't complain too much. You did just run over half the distance in record time. You feel up to more training or do I need to get a doctor?"

"I'm good. Thanks."

"Good. Now run back to where we started. I'll be waiting for you."  Rune hovered in the air above. "Oh yeah, by the way....I ordered the guards to shoot arrows at you."

"What?! Are you trying to get me killed?"

"Don't worry, they're dummy arrows. They won't kill but they will hurt. A lot. Have fun." And with that Rune flew off into the distance.

As Rune flew off, Miles walked slowly hugging the trees searching for where the griffons could be hiding. Not too far away, six small groups of griffons, some armed with bows and arrows and others with crossbows were converging on his location. Not wanting to be caught, Miles climbed the low branches of a nearby trees and waited for the groups to leave. Looking down from the tree, the groups of griffons scouted the area one by one and made their way to another part of the training ground's forest. As the final group of guards left, Miles began to climb back down to the ground.

*crack*

A branch broke under his weight leaving Miles to fall straight to the ground. Sitting up rubbing the back of his head, Miles opened his eyes and discovered he was surrounded by guards at all sides of him. "This...........is going to hurt."

********************************************************************************************************

As Rune landed back outside the barracks she was greeted by Black-sun and a griffon in a white lab coat with thick glasses on and a bold patch on the top of his head.

"Sir!" Rune saluted.

"Captain." Black-sun returned the salute. "Where is Miles?"

"He's on a training exercise."

"How do you know he won't slack off without you watching him?"

"He has incentive to finish as quick as possible. And there is no shortcut for this. Listen."

The three griffons moved their heads so that their ears pointed at the forest where a faint noise could be heard.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

"What was that?" The lab coat griffon asked.

"Miles not doing too well in his training?" Black-sun guessed.

"Bingo."

"How long will he take? I have important research to do." Asked the scientist griffon.

"Could be any time. Depends how determined he is."

The three griffons waited and waited for what seemed like days, just for Miles to emerge from the forest. As night drew close, the three waiting griffons started giving up hope of seeing him before nightfall.

"If he isn't back before night, I want you to go in and look for him. Take a few guards with you because it shouldn't take this long for him to get out."

"Yes sir."

Minutes later, a bipedal figure emerged from the forest before falling onto the floor and resting there in front of the three griffons. Not long after the perusing griffons emerged and line up before the king and Rune.

"Miles! What took you so lo - THERE'S AN ARROW IN YOUR LEG!" Black-sun checked the rest of his body for injuries.

"Yeah. Sorry for taking so long. But that forest is a long way to run when you have an arrow going through the back of your leg."

"We need to get you to the doctor. Now."

"I'm fine. I'm fine. I just need it removing and then a couple days rest and I'll be right as rain."

"Good news everybody. Do not worry your majesty. I can take care off all his problems." The scientist griffon walked over to Miles who was using Black-sun as support. "I am Professor Wharf Snort. Chief scientific researcher. Nice to meet you." The professor stuck out hit claw.

"I'm Miles. Nice to meet - OW! Something pricked me."

"Ah yes. It is something I cooked up, just for you."

"You..what did yer der....Yer drgd mi." Miles' words became slurred.

"Nighty night, Miles. Please forgive me for this." Prof. Wharf Snort spoke softly as Miles passed out in his arms.
