Chapter 3: Shiny's Stormy Morning

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

"No, girls. Please, don't do this..." tossing and turning in bed, mumbled the unfortunate Shining Armor, overcome by a half-nightmare, half-erotic dream.

In it, he was a puny knight who went into battle with two huge and predatory dragons. After passing along a winding mountain path, he stopped near an impregnable rock, which was surrounded by dense fog. Suddenly, two gigantic silhouettes emerged In front of him. Shining prepared to defend himself, but as the fog cleared, the unicorn saw that these dragons were his wives. After a short and inglorious battle (during which he broke his spear on the lazily exposed claw of Cadance), they grabbed him and dragged him to their cave as a treasure, where, despite their size, they tried to enter into an intimate relationship with him.

But, fortunately for the stallion, as soon as the dream reached the place where they bent over him and bared their mouths full of teeth preparing to get down to business, he finally woke up, sat on the bed and began to look around in fright.

After a couple of seconds, Shining realized that he was alone in the room, and Cadance and Chrysalis had gone somewhere.

"Wow, glory to Celestia, that was a very strange dream!" he said, calming down and falling back on the bed, wiping his perspiring forehead. Suddenly he felt a desperate "call of nature".

"Oh-oh! Hurry to the toilet!" he panicked and galloped to the bathroom, where he relieved himself thoroughly after yesterday's overeating, and then spent some time in the shower, washing and putting himself in order. And at the conclusion, after brushing his teeth and combing his mane, he finally decided to leave the bedroom.

Walking cautiously to the door, the stallion listened attentively for sounds from the other side. Somewhere (most likely on the first floor), a slightly muffled rhythmic music was playing.

"Interesting. What are they doing?" Shining Armor asked himself, and slowly opening the door, looked out into the corridor. After making sure that everything was quiet outside and that two overly caring mares were not waiting for him, he left the room and headed towards the stairs. As he expected, the music that caught his attention came from the first floor, or rather from the large hall.

Going down the steps, the unicorn entered and saw a gramophone standing on the floor. Next to him was Cadance, dressed in a tight-fitting tracksuit and sports leggings, actively swinging her legs and periodically bouncing on a small gymnastic mat.

"Call me! Call me!" she repeated after the singer, deftly standing on her hind legs and quickly swinging the front.

"Um, good morning, Cadance," the unicorn greeted her.

"Oh, good morning, Shiny! Didn't hear you come in! Well, how did you sleep?" the princess exclaimed cheerfully, quickly running up to him and kissing him on the cheek, after which she returned back to the mat and began to vigorously swing her croup, either practicing or trying to seduce her husband in this way.

"Terrible," he thought, remembering the first half of the night, during which he fought off the tight embrace of the mares and suffered from the stomach and the second, when he began to have disturbing dreams. "It's just great, thanks for asking, dear," he lied.

"That’s good! I also slept soundly last night! Are you hungry? Maybe you want me to feed you?" The pony asked, arching her back like a cat.

"No!!!" He exclaimed loudly, feeling the displeased rumbling of his stomach, which made it clear that he no longer intends to subject himself to terrible torture.

Cadance winced and looked at the unicorn in surprise.

"I mean, I'm not very hungry yet. Maybe later," Shining tried to explain his behavior.

"Oh! Ok, whatever you say," the mare nodded understandingly, standing on its hind legs and squatting a couple of times.

"Um, by the way, do you know where Chrysalis is?" The stallion asked her.

"Our big beetle croup Queen? I don’t know. I saw her about ten minutes ago. I think she said that she wanted to go take a bath," the alicorn pouted in displeasure.

"Bath? Strange. I was already there, but I did not see her."

"And I’m not surprised, because she decided to do it not in the house, but on the street. What a savage. I wouldn't be surprised if she went swimming in some puddle or something. These changelings are not like ponies," the princess snorted.

"Come on, don't be so cruel. Perhaps she, too, decided to work out first and went for a run," suggested Shining, looking towards the window. "Well, okay, I won't bother you, dear, and I'll go and check the mail."

He turned to leave the hall.

"Wait!" Cadance held him back. "Before you leave, will you help me with the stretching?"

"With what?" asked the unicorn, not understanding.

"Well, with exercise. I'm going to spread my hind legs and train my abs, but for that, somepony will have to hold them so that they don't move. So if it's not difficult for you."

"No, I’ll gladly help you, love," Shining agreed and, going up to Cadance, sat down on the floor. The mare rolled onto her back and spread her legs wide.

"Wow!" gasped the stallion, seeing how her pussy and beautiful large udders, which were kept by a brilliant athletic form, stood out.

"What is it, dear? Did you see anything interesting there?" smiled the Princess, noticing his confused look.

"Um... no, I mean, yes... but this is not at all like me... um..." he muttered embarrassedly.

"Oh, come on, everything’s all right," the princess giggled. "In the end, you and I are husband and wife, and there is nothing wrong with the fact that you wanted to look at my beautiful and graceful body."

She playfully stroked her slender sides and perfectly smooth elastic tummy.

"Well, yes, I know," the unicorn said in an agitated voice, feeling his "little friend" stirring.

"No, just not now!" The stallion shouted mentally at him, placing his front feet on the tips of Cadance's hooves and pressing lightly on them.

"And now hold me tight, darling, because I will rise very quickly," said the alicorn and, waiting for her husband's affirmative nod, she removed her front legs behind her head and began to train the press, rising forward and lying on her back again.

"Well, that's an ambush, she did it on purpose so that I began to look at her... um... charming forms?" Thought Shining Armor, slightly nervous, watching how her udders trembled at the same time, and the hollow between her legs moved up and down.

"What?" Cadance asked after a few seconds.

"Huh?" the stallion shuddered, taken by surprise by this question.

"Didn't you expect your wife to be so athletic and fit?" she explained to him, reassuring him a little, because the unicorn was already outright embarrassed, watching his wife move erotically.

"Well, not quite. After all, I've known you for years and I never forgot that you were a cheerleader in high school."

"Tee-hee, right. Yeah, those were the times, so happy and innocent," she said, during her next rise, touching him with her nose.

"Y-yes, i-innocent," slightly blushing, nodded Shining Armor, again glancing at her rear. "You were the best there and jumped so well, cheered the fans and... uh... raised your legs."

"It's true. I remember how you stood in the front row and applauded my chants. And then I caught you in the filly's locker room, where you, hiding in the closet, spied on how I was washing in the shower," she said playfully.

"What? Oh, yes, exactly," the unicorn said embarrassedly. "Once again, forgive me for that. I assure you I didn't do it on purpose."

"Yeah, sure," the alicorn smiled slyly.

"No, seriously. My classmates encouraged me to do this. They said that I didn't have the heart to climb up to the cheerleaders after training, so I did it... on a bet, and then... um... a little carried away."

"Well, yes, for a full half hour," said Cadance.

"Yeah," the stallion bashfully lowered his head.

"Don’t worry about this, I understand everything. You were so young and inquisitive, so you could not resist at the sight of such appetizing legs and croup," she noticed and suddenly stopped.

"But now you are my husband and you don’t have to hide anywhere to see them." She put her front hoof on the edge of her tracksuit and pulled it tighter.

"Y-yes… not needed," Shining Armor said, swallowing a lump in his throat. His "little friend" had already completely crawled out and the stallion was afraid that Cadance would see it. And it looks like she did. The mare's eyes suddenly lit up with a very greedy and predatory gleam.

"Because all my feminine charms are by right yours, and you can do whatever you want with them. Look at them, touch them, and even..." the mare continued and immediately grabbed him by the neck with her hind legs and pressed him to her belly.

"Fuck them!" no longer hiding her intentions, she finished.

"Wow! Cadance, what are you doing?!" he exclaimed, resting his nose on her noticeably moisturized pussy.

"Nothing, I just want to please my beloved husband and give him what he dreamed of for so long," the alicorn sighed voluptuously and began to slowly move her legs, forcing Shining to rub his nose against her enlarged clitoris.

"Ahh, honey, but you don’t think that is too..." he said, being in captivity of her strong legs.

"As a teenager? Yes, I know, but I'm not at all shy about it!" She moaned, starting to stroke one of her papillae with her hoof. "After all, you and I can do whatever we want. Delivering joy to each other, and bestowing with their boundless love!"

She grabbed Shining Armor's hardened penis with telekinesis and began to confidently stroke it, while still moving her legs and squeezing the stallion's neck, which made it very difficult for him to breathe, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not free his head.

"Oh, dear! Like this! Yes! Let’s go faster!" Cadance said enthusiastically, pressing on him and literally using his face as a dildo.

"Darling, please, you... are... strangling me..." he uttered with difficulty between attempts to escape from her embrace, and thus even more tugging at her "lower lips". It was both painful and pleasant at the same time. He was driven crazy by the sweet scent of Cadance's horny pussy, and her telekinesis tugged at his cock faster and more energetically, and he was ready to cum at any second.

"Wow, dear, I can no longer... I... I already..." suddenly said the alicorn, and immediately pushed down the bottom of her fitness suit with her hoof, revealing a wet and excited slit.

"What?" Shining said, staring at her.

"I’M CUMMING!!!" The mare screamed and pressed him to her with force, before a powerful stream of her transparent lubricant flowed from there, pouring over the eyes and nose of the stallion. And almost immediately, a stream of his own semen followed, flooding the floor and tail of Cadance.

"Oh… yes…" she whispered, letting go of the unicorn's head with frequent sighs and relaxingly closing her eyes.

"Thank goodness, I can breathe again," said Shining Armor in a slightly hoarse voice, falling on his stomach and opening his mouth wide, into which the incredibly sweet Cadance juice dripped.

"Wow, how delicious it is," the unicorn thought involuntarily, being in a state bordering between euphoria and fear. "Eh, if she had warned me in advance, then everything could have gone smoother, but... wow! How strong are her legs!"

"Thank you, dear, for helping me with the training," said the mare after a couple of minutes, slowly rising to her feet. "And I think that is enough for me for now."

"Me too," Shining nodded with a faint smile.

"But don't get too relaxed, as soon as it’s time for your day's workout, I’ll need you again," she winked.

"Day's workout?" He asked warily, staring at her.

"Of course, to be so slim and attractive, I need to train a lot, so be ready to help me again," she said, straightening her shape and straightening her tail stuck together from semen. "In the meantime, I'll go to the shower. You kind of wanted to go get the mail, right?"

"Huh? Yes, that's right, for the mail," said the stallion, still a little dumbfounded.

"Then at the same time, please, check if my catalog came from the Mare's Fashion Club. I ordered it a couple of weeks ago, but they still haven't sent it."

"Of course, darling, whatever you say," Shining Armor replied clumsily, getting to his hoof and swaying, following her out into the common corridor and moving towards the exit. With difficulty reaching the door, he casually glanced at himself in the mirror hanging over the nightstand, and noticed that his face was smeared with Cadance's "love juice".

"Yeah, she really moistened me," he said, examining his shiny face, and then grinned: "You can see right away – this is the face of a real stallion. But it's probably not worth walking on the street in this form. We need to get ourselves in order," he added, opening the bedside table under the mirror and taking out a damp cloth for wiping the hooves, with which he quickly cleaned himself of grease (and rubbed his stomach, which was also dirty, but with his own secretions).

"That's it, much better. Now I can calmly go out to the ponies, and none of them will tell me: "I know what you were doing this morning with your wife," he joked once again, looking at himself in the mirror.

Yes, despite all the confusion and savagery of what happened, Shining Armor was not at all opposed to the fact that Cadance had taken advantage of him and, one might say, forced him to satisfy himself with his nose. Whatever one may say, it was not bad at all, albeit very unusual.

"At least now she is completely satisfied and can calm down for a while. Well, at least until lunchtime. My Princess of Love has an ardent character and no matter how good I was with her, I would not want each of our meetings to end with something like that. No, I’m not complaining, I just cannot satisfy her several times a day. After all, I'm not a machine," he thought as he walked out the door. "And most importantly, I have marital obligations to my second no less passionate wife-changeling. I am sure Chrysalis will not want to give in to Cadance and is probably already planning some clever way to get me into bed."

He walked along the stone path towards the gate, which had a small mailbox on one of the doors, and then out of the corner of his eye he noticed something suspicious. And suspicious – that was putting it mildly.

When he passed by the fountain, he noticed that the water in it was covered with... foam?

"Foam? Foam?!! What's this? Did someone pull a prank on us?!" Gasped the unicorn, stopping and turning to him in bewilderment. A picture immediately flashed through his head, in which a naughty neighbor's foal crept into the courtyard early in the morning and poured a whole box of washing powder into the water.

"Oh no! There are fish! I need to save them!" Belatedly realized Shining and rushed to the water, realizing that, most likely, they had all floated belly up a long time ago. But suddenly, when he was halfway to the fountain, Chrysalis emerged from it with a loud splash, dressed in a pink swimsuit and a rubberized hat with flowers. Giggling, she began to disperse the foam, collecting it in the holes in the legs and blowing out soap bubbles.

"Tee-hee, how I love to do this!" she said, sending several large bubbles into the air and again falling into the water with a noise.

"Here is the horrible queen of the changelings that terrifies everyone," thought the unicorn, staring at her in surprise. "She looks stern, but behaves like a little filly."

"Chrysalis," he stepped closer to her.

"Oh, hi, hubby," Chrysalis greeted him, kicking up a small island of foam and tossing it into the air. "I'm so glad to see you."

"Me too, sweetheart, but... what's going on here? What are you doing?" asked Shining, who didn’t understand anything.

"You don’t see? I'm taking a bath," she replied calmly, telekinesis grabbing a bottle of body shampoo and pouring it into the water to create even more lather.

"Yes, but our bath is in the house," Shining said.

"I know, but it’s so small and uncomfortable there. Besides, I like to bathe in the fresh air, and that's why I came here. Oh! Grace!" she sank into the water up to her neck and began to warm it up with her horn. "How nice of Celestia to put us in a house with such a wonderful outdoor bathroom. Of all the places where I have so far washed, this bathtub is the best. And there are no outsiders staring at me."

"Outsiders?" Shining asked.

"Well, yes," Chrysalis nodded. "To be honest, I never understood the love of ponies to build baths in the middle of busy squares and streets. In my opinion, it is a bit wild to wash surrounded by crowds of strangers, although maybe this is how you ponies are try to instill trust in each other."

"But, Chrysalis, these aren't baths…" and then he remembered. "Ah! But what about the fish?!"

"Don't worry, I've taken care of them," she said serenely, and nodded at the many pots and kettles that stood at a distance on the grass. All the fish that had been in the fountain before were splashing in them.

"I don’t know what flayer thought to put them in the bathing place," the queen snorted. "I guess this is another crazy pony tradition that I am not destined to understand, just like those shoes with mini aquariums."

"Oh, Chrissy," Shining Armor said, putting a hoof to his eyes. "You’ve got it all wrong, and in general, you shouldn’t wash on the street. It is not safe."

"No way," the queen waved off. "Our hedge is too high for neighbors to spy on me through, and if someone walks past the gate, I can always change my appearance." She immediately took on the appearance of first Cadance, then Twilight, and in the end Shining Armor himself winked at him mischievously.

"Please don’t turn into me," the unicorn asked, quickly looking around. "You’re wearing a mare’s clothes. And I would not want our neighbors to see me standing in a fountain filled with foam, and in a pink bathing suit," he added.

"No problem, hubby, I’ll sort it out now," Chrysalis promised, and she was again surrounded by emerald flames, unimpeded by the water surrounding the queen.

"Well, okay... Ah! Are you kidding me?!" mentally gasped the stallion when he saw what she turned into.

Directly in front of him, half leaning out of the water, stood a beautiful snow-white mare with a lush dark blue mane (with a light blue strand in the middle) and a seductive croup, on which... his cutie mark was adorned!!!

"Hey! Why did you make a mare out of me?" He asked, blushing.

"Of course. You said yourself that I'm wearing clothes for mares. So, as a mare, you can safely walk in it," the changeling smiled slyly.

"Yes, but I…" he said in confusion.

"Impressed with what you see? Delighted with your feminine counterpart?" She put in, arching her back and wagging her tail playfully.

"Oh no, and she's there too. It seems that both my spouses consider it normal to decide and negotiate everything for me," the stallion thought sadly, watching his more elegant version flaunted in front of him in a wet and tight swimsuit.

"By the way, if you like this form so much, then you can admire it closer," she said, nodding to the fountain next to her. "Come on, hubby, don't be shy. Swim with me."

"Um, no, thanks, I don’t want to," he said politely.

"Come on, the water here is so warm, and I'm so hot, you will definitely like it," the queen persistently suggested, lifting herself higher and pulling up Shining Armor's fluffy tail, under which, instead of stallion dignity, you could see a seductive and large udder.

"I'd love to, dear, but I still need to get busy," he said, stepping back slightly. "Maybe, another time."

"Oh, well, whatever you say," Chrysalis said sadly, turning away from him.

"And then, I have not yet fully recovered from the morning..." the unicorn tried to insert, but then he stepped on the soap lying on the stone path, and flew into the fountain with his nose, clutching the croup of the queen, who was still in his mare's form, with his forelegs.

"Wow! So this is what you are up to!" She exclaimed in admiration, turning quickly to him. "Oh, you prankster, decided to catch me! Well, okay, I love this game too!"

She dived into the frothy water and immediately disappeared from sight.

"Wait, Chrysalis! You got it all wrong!" Shining said hastily, searching the water with his eyes.

"Um, Chrysalis? Honey? Where are you?" He asked warily, seeing nothing but foam and hearing no one sounds. "Chrysalis?"

Suddenly there was a loud splash behind him, and the queen of the changelings jumped onto his neck with a giggle.

"Here I am! Ha-ha! Caught you!" She exclaimed, falling into the water with him.

"Hey! Stop it!" Shining began to resist. "Foam got into my eyes!"

"Don’t be such a sissy, you can always wash it off," she sank to the bottom with him and there began to playfully tickle the hips, which made the stallion hastily float up.

"Tee-hee, that was fun," Chrysalis said, surfacing with him.

"You think so?" said the unicorn, swimming to the edge of the fountain and wrapping his front legs around it.

"Come on, don't be such a grump. You act like you've never had fun before. Or…" She snorted. "Can't you swim?"

"What? Can't I swim?" he was indignant. "You should know that I was the best swimmer even when I was in cadet school and, by the way, I have several awards for swimming in length and holding my breath."

"And how long can you stay under water, if it's not a secret?" The queen asked.

"About five minutes," Shining said proudly.

"Wow, impressive, although a little too short for me," Chrysalis remarked.

"Really? Can you stay underwater longer?" The stallion asked.

"Well, actually, yes."

"And how longer?"

"On average, two to four hours, depending on the temperature and quality of the water," Chrysalis said.

"Wow!" Shining was surprised. "How can changelings breathe underwater for so long?"

"Of course, we are generally very talented, and we are well adapted to the environment. And, in addition, by changing shape, we are able to adopt useful skills from those whom we disguise as. For example, I learned to breathe underwater after spending a couple of months in the guise of a hippogriff. And since we're talking about this, let me show you how deeply I can hold my breath," his female version winked, focusing on the word "deeply" and plunging back into the water.

"What? What are you up to? Chrysalis? Chry…" Shining broke off abruptly as he felt his hind legs gently spread apart.

"Is she going to give me a blowjob? And even in my guise? No, it can't be! She's not going to do this under ... oh!"

Then he felt the soft lips of Chrysalis gently clasped his noticeably grown cock, and her wet tongue began to lick its tip. And she did it just magically! Shining had noticed more than once that the queen's mouth was incredibly hot (even when she was in a different guise), and as soon as she started giving him a blowjob, he literally fell into ecstasy, and it seemed to him that he had thrust his cock into a small stove. Into a very warm and humid stove, where his friend was baked and began to pour out cream.

"Oh, Chrissy, please… Chrissy … we really shouldn't," he whispered shyly, but almost immediately stopped resisting when the queen began to move smoothly back and forth while stroking his belly with her hooves.

"Oh, Goodness, this is incredible, my wife is giving me a blowjob in a fountain with foam, and even turning into a mare like me... and I... I... I love it so much!" he thought, literally burning with shame, mixed with delight, leaning back on the edge of the fountain and with his eyes closed enjoying each of these gentle movements.

"Well, if you think about it, it’s not so bad. First, my beloved Cadance had sex with me, and now Chrysalis gives me fabulous pleasure. Ah, having two wives is wonderful! After all, I can get used to it, and even... ah... addicted to it... ooh!!!"

He felt a convulsion running through his penis and, not holding back with pleasure, finished right in the mouth of the queen, confident that she would only be glad of it.

"Oh yeah! Gracious Celestia! Yes!" forgetting about everything in the world, he shouted to the whole yard, no longer caring that passers-by or neighbors could hear him and relaxed his head on the edge of the fountain.

"Tee-hee, I see you enjoyed yourselves, right, hubby?" asked the queen emerging from the water.

"Well... this is..." he muttered, slightly resisting. "Yes, it was fantastic. You're just lovely, my beloved Chrissy. I didn’t know that it would be so good for me to do this with a mare so similar to me. But…" He saw Chrysalis's narrowed gaze. "One way or another, it was still you – my sweet and passionate queen of changelings."

"Thank you, Shiny. Remember this when you choose which of your wives you should devote your free time to," she said, licking her lips. "Because I can become anyone for you."

She resumed her natural form and grabbed Shining gently by the neck.

"Especially myself. So don't forget how powerful your beautiful queen is."

"I won't forget," the stallion promised, still basking in his recent orgasm.

"Well done, but now a little kiss for dessert," she suddenly said, opening her mouth in which the remnants of his sperm were visible.

"Wait, I'm not one of those who likes the..." said the unicorn in fright, not too eager to taste the taste of his own seed, but it was too late. Chrysalis jerked him close to her and, sticking out her wet, shiny tongue, dug her lips into him.

"Wow! No! It's disgusting! No!" Desperately trying to break free, he thought, trying not to savor the sweet and sour aftertaste that began to envelop his tongue. However, Chrysalis's grip was incredibly strong, and after several futile attempts to break out of it, he resigned himself to what was happening and allowed his changeling wife to finish this wild and at the same time very passionate and tender kiss.

"Well-well, what a fidget you are," Chrysalis said after a couple of minutes, releasing him. "You acted like you didn't like playing with my tongue."

"What do you mean? I really liked your kiss, and the tongue even more. It's just... oh... I didn't expect that I would have to, um... taste my own sperm, but I'm not complaining," Shining finished to his own embarrassment, feeling incredible pleasure at the end of the kiss and noting that Chrysalis's kiss with sperm in his mouth turned out to be just fabulous, which made him feel like a pervert.

"Okay, so why don’t we repeat it?" Let's say after dinner? The queen suggested playfully.

"What?" The stallion asked warily. "Isn't that enough for her?" He added mentally.

"Well, we can retire somewhere, for example, in the bedroom and, having sent your sugar princess somewhere to shop, play transformations again. Oh, that will be great! I know so many wonderful ways to satisfy you with my tongue."

She stuck out her long python tongue and licked one of the unicorn's ears with it.

"Uh-oh!" mentally gasped Shining, involuntarily thinking about his other liquids that could be in his beloved's mouth and which he definitely would not want to try.

"I see, thanks for the offer. I'll think about it, but now could you let me go? Please. I need to go and pick up the mail," he asked aloud.

"Of course, hubby," Chrysalis agreed, releasing him. "If you want to play diving with me again, then you know where to look for me," she added, climbing out of the fountain with him and taking a garden hose with her telekinesis beginning to wash.

And Shining, still wet and head over heels in foam, headed towards the gate, mentally reflecting on the fact that the morning of the second day spent alone with his wives, began with him quite stormy and unusual.

"Just like in my teenage dreams, when I imagined that someday I would live in an expensive mansion with several mares at once, like the famous playcolt Hoof Fechner and make love to them in my free time. Heh, really some higher powers heard what I asked them for at the Night of the Warming Hearth at eleven years old, and decided to reward me like that? Well, pretty nice of them."

He carefully shifted from foot to foot when his not fully fallen member was slightly pulled, and he began to whine.

"However, unlike Fechner, I am not such a skilled philander and I will definitely not stand many rounds with two powerful and indefatigable mares. Uh-oh, what if they decide to take turns having sex with me? By dividing me among themselves for every hour? Celestia dear, they'll squeeze me like a lemon! No, I urgently need to get out of here, at least until the evening, to catch my breath a little and get away from their morning fun."

Going out the gate, he opened a gold mailbox hanging on one of the pillars and took out a couple of letters. The first was from his parents, who invited Shining and their wives to come to them that evening for a family dinner.

"Family dinner? Hmm, this is a good opportunity to curb the ardor of my faithful, who will definitely become more active with the onset of dusk. But I still have to live until dinner, and they were both going to take care of me after lunch. So, what's this?"

The second letter came to him from the palace. When he turned it over, he saw the seal of the royal guard there.

"It's from my adjutant. I wonder what he wanted?" he asked mentally, opening the envelope and fluently reading the first couple of lines, after which he wanted to jump like Pinkie Pie. "Excellent! He asks me to come to my unit and settle some administrative issues! Long paperwork! Thorough checks! Prolonged reports! I found a legitimate reason to run away from home for the whole day! Hooray!"

And even though the cases he had to deal with would normally take him no more than a couple of hours at normal times, this time he was sure that he would have to carry on with them at least until the evening. And then he will immediately go to dinner with his family.

"I'm saved!" he said cheerfully, starting to dance on the spot with joy.

"Hey buddy!" Someone suddenly called out to him.

"Huh?" Shining said uncomprehendingly, turning to the voice.

"What? Have you decided to have a foam party in your yard?" Asked a neighbor standing on the other side of the street – an earthly pony, dressed in a bathrobe, apparently also went out to check the mail and along the way to smoke an expensive cigar, which was now smoking in his mouth.

"Um, no, what are you? I just fell into a basin of water when I was washing um... my guardian uniform, so now I go all in foam," the unicorn came up with a not very convincing explanation.

"Really? It’s very sad," said the neighbor, looking at the white flakes of foam that had not completely melted on his sides. "And I really thought that you are one of those young merry fellows who love to light up in the morning in the pool in the company of young beauties."

He kicked out the cigar and blew smoke from his mouth.

"Well, the very ones who accompanied you yesterday afternoon," he winked and his gaze, as if by chance, fell between Shining’s legs.

"Damn it!" The unicorn caught himself, realizing that his cock was still dangling outside.

"No! Believe me! As I say, it was an accident with a penis... that is, with a pelvis and a shape! Wow, just look at the time!" he glanced at the non-existent watch on his leg. "It's already twelve! I urgently need to run to work. Se ya, neighbor!" said Shining quickly and, backing away, jumped into his yard.

"So it looks like I got caught. My neighbor is so annoying! Now I am sure that I have to leave here for a while and let my head return to normal. I need to go to work. And…"

He swallowed hard in his throat.

"And leave two very strong and hating each other mares for a while alone," he finished, vividly imagining the ruins of the burned down mansion, which will certainly wait for him upon returning home.

***

"So, my beloved, I’m certainly not happy about this myself, but I’ll have to go to the castle and work there until late at night," Shining said, hastily putting on his uniform and casually buttoning his buttons.

"Yes this is bad. What a pity, darling, that you won't be able to spend the day at home," said Cadance.

"Me too, Cadance, but you know this important Canterlot business. They cannot be put off," accidentally tearing off one of the buttons, but even not noticing this, the unicorn said.

"Well, then, until the evening, dear," said the princess.

"Until the evening, hubby," added the queen.

"Yeah, I'll see you again, girls," Shining quickly kissed each of them on the cheek, without looking, picking up his briefcase with papers and opening the door with his back foot. "And as soon as I return, we will go to dinner with my relatives. Mom wrote that she would give us a grand feast and invite all Twilight's friends to the evening."

"Oh, that's so cute," the alicorn smiled.

"Yeah, the whole evening be in the company of ponies who disliked me," the changeling chuckled.

"Well, I went, and you be smart and try not to quarrel much," finally the unicorn told them.
