In the morning they cleaned up a small bit, Sunset making sure that everything was prim and proper. The sheets were cleaned up, after their little mess. Applejack looked worn out, and Ember grumbled, especially when Applejack would sneak a smirk at her as she leaned into Dusk, clearly swishing her tails around as they finished packing up and getting in the car. It would be a long drive, though would take a few stops in between. Especially when Ember wanted to see the statue of Rockhoof. Dusk almost had to drag her off when she snorted fire off. Though she had fun.

“This Vacation has been nice,” Sunset said as she smiled sitting in the back.

“Yeah, it’s been fine, though I guess I have been needing to get out of my space for a bit let my wings spread.” Ember agreed though sounding like a pain in the ass in the process.

“I know right, and I’m sure you guy’s will love to meet my parents also, Though um, I kind of never told them you guy’s were with Dusk.” Applejack’s face turned to beat red while the kitsune and Dragon looked toward her wide eye.

“Why not!” The girls said looking quite annoyed at the Minotaur, Applejack somewhat sinking into the chair at this moment.

“I’m sorry, I just, Mom and Dad are a bit traditional and if they found out I was in one of these here Polyamorous relationships they might freak out.” Applejack said while looking almost ashamed.

“Still you could have warned us. What are we going to do when it's our night here?” Ember added annoyed. Smoke emanating from her mouth like she was ready to set something on fire at any moment. Dusk sighed as he rubbed his temple.

“How about this, If you guy’s can go a few nights without me in bed with you, I’ll spend a couple of extra days. That way we don’t get Applejack in trouble. But seriously though. Applejack, I wish you told us this.” He looked towards the minotaur somewhat disappointed but understanding all the same.

“I know but I never imagined that they would be joining us. This was going to be a personal journey between the two of us.” Applejack exclaimed as she reached over rubbing Dusk's leg.

“Fine, well let's get going. Before we get more distracted.” He looked to the girls who were more annoyed than anything but decided to head right on-off. As they would drive off into the distance heading to the farm.

Starlight, bit her lips as she looked towards the Bordello. Her face was tired, exhausted with lack of sleep as she found herself stirring and tossing in bed. But when she moved on getting close to the house. Trying to move in, and she felt an urge to see Dusk. Starlight needed to talk to him beg for forgiveness ask him, beg him to tell her what happened to her father. But she moved in closer to the door when a voice called out.

“Hey what are you doing here!” Starlight turned around seeing a woman standing there, an Amazon of a woman standing what looked to be around seven feet tall, and more muscular then most woman she’d ever seen. She was walking over, looking quiet annoyed.

“Oh um, I’m here to talk to Dusk… Who are you?”

“Names Gilda, I’m the houses new instructer, now what is it your wanting.” The amazon of a woman asked while eyeing Starlight who felt so small like a garden mouse looking towards the Amazon of a woman. Who just watched.

“I wanted to apologize to him, for something I did that's all I just.”

“Oh you must be Starlight, Yes, I’ve been told by the big boss. She said, you’re not allowed on the premises, and if I see you remove you myself.” It was there Gilda reached over and popped her fingers. Starlight looked scared, her face turning red as she imagined this big woman coming right at her and ready to hurt her.

“I’m so sorry please um, here take my number and please give it to Dusk I want to talk to him it’s important. I just need to ask a few questions.” Starlight muttered while she wrote down her phone number and handed it right towards the large woman as she began running away. Her heart pounding like a train.

“I’ll hand it over and relay the message, not get out of here before I throw you out myself.” Which Starlight could believe her face turning red as she found herself rushing out of the yard? As she panicked, Gilda simply stood there an annoyed look on her face as she slipped the paper into her back pocket. Knowing that this was going to be a thing. The valkyrie rolled her eyes as she would turn back and call out to the other girls yelling at them to get back to work,

“I wanna see you girl’s sweat!”

Starlight would slowly begin walking off her head down as she wasn’t sure what she was going to do. Her heart ached for forgiveness it wanted to know what happened to her dad and what caused him to die. But she wasn’t sure what to do. She continued walking off heading down the streets when without warning she found herself bouncing into someone. She bounced back into reality as she suddenly looked overseeing a woman standing there.

“Oh I’m so sorry… are you ok?” a shock as the woman looked ill, skin looking grey, a tired look on her face, as if she was about to drop dead at any minute, while this woman looked at her.

“Yes, I… I’m, actually I think I will need your help but is there something you need?”

“I’m fine, but lets get you somewhere you look like your about to pass out.” Starlight looked more worried as she watched how the woman just watched her with no relent.

“Well how about you follow me somewhere and give me a light hand.” The ill woman muttered her turning around and walking with a gentle limp. Starlight found herself following behind her figuring that she should do a little bit of good and get this woman help. Maybe even try and get her to a hospital or at the very least convince her into going to one. She would follow the mysterious woman, and for a few seconds thought she could smell the scent of sulfer.

Dusk groaned as he began taking one more turn. The long patch of dirt road as they began going down, he’d seen miles of corn running off as far as the eye can see. If he drove on farther he was sure that he would run into he who walks behind the rows, and worry about murderous children.

“We’re here, we’re here!” Applejack was looking far more excited then ever before, in fact Dusk was sure she was about to jump right out of the car at any moment.

“Careful I don’t want you jumping out of the car babe.” He stuttered for a second realizing what he called her though pushed it away. As he took a deep breath as Dusk continued driving down the road. The road was bumpy as it ricked the car around. While the girls in the back. Grunted,

“Great but damn I think you guy’s need some new roads or something.”

“We do every few years, though they kind of just get broken.” Applejack said giving a light laugh as she rubbed the back of her head.

They drove off for a minute, maybe two though Dusk smirked watching the excitment in Applejack body as she bounced more. Her breasts jiggling gently. Dusk looking up seeing the house coming in sight. While looking at it, Dusk found it kind of cozy. It was a simple two story home made of old fashion work. The lights glowed gently from the home, as it felt more inviting then it needed to be. As Dusk stopped a few feet away by the dodge pick up truck. Applejack jumped right out of the car, as Dusk pulled out. His legs feeling like jelly as he began stretching out. Followed by Sunset and even Ember as they pulled out, The Dragon letting her wings stretch out as she groaned.

“Next time I’m flying, yesh. I can’t stand being soo couped up.” She groaned walking towards the house.

“I know what she means, I need a hot bath.” Sunset added while whistling.

They headed towards the house Applejack the first one to make it up there the smile on her face only growing wild Dusk finding himself smileing back as it was that infectious. SHe reached over knocking onnthe door, as it clattered for about a minute. Soon they stood there waiting, standing there for a minute Dusk found himself actually feeling nervous meeting Applejack’s own family. He wasn’t even sure how they’d even react meeting him. Though he was sure to find out.

There was a light grumble as he heard a voice going,

“Who could be here this late at night.” As they stomped down, Dusk bit his tongue imagining that they were going to be face to face with a shot gun, at least from how his cousin Boomstick was when someone knocked at his door to late at night; though why cousin Boomstick was in jail for a reason. He thought for a second when the door opened. Dusk was prepared for a gun to the face. But instead standing there was a man. No not a man, a male Minotaur who stood a great five foot six. Pure musle looking up at Dusk for a minute his horns giving him an extra three inches as he wore a flannel shirt and an annoyed look.

“We’re not interested in your new religion here you see, please leave.” He looked at Dusk for a good minute. Dusk looking down though a moment pause as he couldn’t help but think.

Applejack’s dad is fricken short. How is she so tall? Though the man just raised his hand for a moment.

“Is there something wrong with yer head boy, I ain’t interested in what you want now git going other wise I’ll be getting betsy!”

“Daddy!” Suddenly Applejack screamed grabbing the shorter old man and caused him to knock back a cry of suprised as he called; “What in tarna— Applejack is that you!” He called out sounding more calm as he looked over at the minotaur girl.

“Yeap it’s me, sorry it took a bit to get here, got stuck in some traffic.”

“Well Shucks Sugar cube get in, and who are these weird looking fella’s?”

“Dad, this is my boyfriend Dusk, and well a couple of our friends.” SHe chuckled nervously though her father didn’t notice, or even noticed how Sunset, and Ember looked annoyed at the minotaur woman.

“Well good to meet y’all I’m Sam, come in its got to cold as hell out there, please. Get comfortable. Sugar pie! Come on down Applejack here and she brought guests!”

“Oh goodness, Applejack home, I’ll get the others.” As Dusk noticed a tall robust woman running past, clearly a minotaur woman like Applejack’s father but she is far taller as she called out up the stairs.

“Guy’s Applejack’s home come on down!” as she smile walking over towards them Seeing Dusk she gave a motherly look as she gave him a hug. Squeezing him tightly.

“And you must be Dusk, oh dear your such a skinny fella, I’ll have to make some food to fatten you up!” as she gave a calming smile. Dusk found himself laughing more.

“I think I’m good for right now.” Dusk resisted the urge to laugh though Applejack’s mom nodded,

“Well if your hungry im sure I can make you some of the best sweet potato pies you’ll ever have, and a side of beef. And fried potatos.” She said giving a wide smile, Applejack found herself feeling a little embarrased by how excited her mom really was while Dusk found his stomach growling as he realized that sounded like a great meal.

“Well I appreciate it ma’am.”

“Oh please sweet child, call me Pear, or mom, all of Applejack friends and any special friends of my kids call me mom.” She said giving a southern smile as she patted her husband on the side,

“And this great muffin is Bright Mac.” She said whilen sneaking a grope his his rear, Mino’s looked at Dusk with a gruff look and simply said,

“You can call me Sir.”

“Bright Mac don’t be rude! He seems like a nice boy, and we don’t want to scare off another one of Applejack’s boyfriends.”

“They’re not sleeping in the same room he can take the guest room but Applejack will be sleeping in her room, the same for the other two girls.”

“But Daddy!” Applejack whined as she grabbed Dusks arm. Though Bright Mac the minotaur just snorted watching them,

“My house my rules and he can sleep in the guest room or outside, and we still haven’t dealt with those coyotes or that moth thing that’s been eating you’re momma’s knitting.”

“Bright Mac, we are not letting him sleep outside, now be nice.” Without warning, Pear grabbed Bright Mac by the ear and pulled him up. It was a sight to see, while he growled.

“Jesus woman let me hear my damn it!” He groaned as Pear let go of it with a smile,

“Now be a nice sweetie. And again we should celebrate and grab some drinks, you sweet hearts must be tried from your trip.”

“That would be nice, really,” Ember said trying to keep a light smile especially watching the woman lift her husband up by the ear alone, and wasn’t sure how to react but figured it would be a good thing not to be a smart ass around her.

“Well How about I get you guy’s some sweat tea and some water, We also have pop but those are normally for Big Mac. Speaking of which. BIG MAC, APPLEBLOOM, BLOSSOM! GET YOUR BUTT’S DOWN HERE!” She screamed as suddenly there was rustling around as Dusk watched three people heading right down the stairs each of them various sizes. Though it was clear they were all minotaurs.

To say they were Applejack was an understatment, the two girls looked almost like clones of Applejack though of course one looked far younger and another one a couple years older. As they stood there giving a wave though the third one the only male out of them who Dusk figured was Big mac. Well he was a big, big man. Standing what seemed like nearly seven feet tall. His muscles covered in muscles. Long shaggy black hair who looked rather tired as he wore what looked like a sleevles shirt. Tattered jeans that looked like he just pulled them on and were ready to fall off. With some scared up hands.

“Well nice to meet you.” Dusk said while looking back to the other girls as Ember seemed to be checking out Big Mac for a minute, though Dusk found himself feeling a little jealous there, No he shook his head at that point but watching some,

“Yeap, Names Big Mac.” Big mac said his deep voice as he seemed worn out. That was when the two girls gave a wide smile clearly more awake than Big Mac.

“Don’t mind Big bro here he’s tired from working in the feild. All day, I’m Blossom his Twin sister, please to met you, so your the one who got my little sisters hear.” Julliet smiled as she gave Applejack a cheeky smile Applejack eye twitching as she said,

“Yeap he’s my boyfriend.”

“Oh yes, and from what I heard lil sis, you are madly inlove with him, when I talk to her a bit she just so interested saying about how you… well Let me keep that to myself, and you’ve only known each other for what a few months?”

“Did she now what did she say about me.” Dusk teased while Applejack felt so embarrased. Though she looked like she was doing everything she could not to hog tie Blossom there.

“Well it’s nice too met you, now if you excuse me I’ll be hiding Applejack’s pictures of her naked in the bathtube. I know mom will be wanting to show them.

“Don’t you dare, I’ve done it to your ex’s and Applejack, he’s gonna get the same treatment.”

“How come you guy’s never did that with mine mom!” The smallest of the three who Dusk figured was Applebloom cried out. Now Applebloom, was by far the shortest though somehow taller then Bright Mac by maybe a few inches. She had smaller breasts that bounced gently as she looked annoyed pouting. She shared Applejack’s Red hair, though it was more cut down to her neck compared to Applejack’s long flowing hair.

“When you bring a boyfriend over around your age, that your father isn’t going to skew with his horns. I swear, you always want to date older men, where do you even get that from.”

“Come on Dad’s five years older than you and you don’t complain!”

“Honey your seventeen, when I bet your father I was around eighteen.”

“Still not fair but fine.” She looked over at Dusk for a second giving a smile,

“You know sis he is pretty cute, I’m curious if he breaks up with you if I can take him off your hand’s.” She winked at Dusk for a hot second, while Dusk screamed internally, as he knew that would be a horrible idea, Applejack clearly not liking this moved in.

“Watch it punk, remember who’s the big sister is between the two of us.” There they both watched each other quiet annoying.

“Thats enough, you two. Applebloom, get up to bed, no drinks for you.”

“But mom!”

“No buts otherwise I’ll make you get a switch your not too old for a switching young lady.”

Applebloom pouted in annoyance as she headed up the stairs while Pear just looked annoyed.

“I swear I love your sister Applejack but she is a strange child. I need to make sure she doesn’t accidently send someone to jail.” Pear moved and handed over a cup of coffee as she smiled. “But don’t mind her, she gets that way sometimes, beside I remember when Applejack was younger. She tried going after this one boy, well her father didn’t make it easy for them. Chased the poor boy out of town. I had to give them both a stern talking to.” She eyed Applejack for a second.

“Mom, I was sixteen beside I’ve grown up since then.”

“I know you have honey, and please tell me how did you and this handsome boy meet?” Pear said while she grabbed another cup of coffee. Dusk coughed some as he wasn’t sure how to explain that not even sure how much Applejack had told their parents.

“We met at work, Dusk took over the business, and well he helped me after a milking incident. When my machine broke.” Applejack blushed feeling embarrased.

“Ahh is that so, and Dusk here isn’t taking advantage of you is he? Cause you know what would happen if your father found out about this.”

“No, I wouldn’t take advantage of her I promise.” He raised his hand trying to make sure that he knew he was being serious.

“It’s true I really had to push him to try some things and he only did it cause well I was hurting.”

“Don’t need to repeat it. You father use to help me out all the time, while I was producing some milk.”

“Mom I really don’t need to know that.” Applejack revolted as she imagined such a horrifying idea as she looked at Dusk who couldn’t help smirking seeing Applejack so flustered as she went over everything.

“Well It’s punishment for being such a pain in my ass.” Pear said while getting more into embarrasing.

“Come on Dusk let’s head to bed, and we’ve got to find a place for the others.

“You’re room is where its been and it should be just like how you left it.” Pear moved in and hugged her daughter holding her with a wide huge. As Applejack would return one as well. “I’m glad that you came to visit us hun. We really missed you.”

“I missed you guy’s also mom, I hated that I left but I just… I wanted to see the world and more then just our little farm.”

“I know, though really doesn’t mean you can’t come by more, beside I know you working at that bar it’s just odd knowing my little girl is grown up, I use to change yer diapers now look at you bringing a boy home, and got two girls hanging out. Not much of my little cowgirl who use to hog tie her sister and try and wrestle the twins.”

“I know heh. Well we better get to bed, it’s been a heck of a drive Ma.”

“Yeah, beside your fathers grumpy and we should all be getting some sleep, we’ve got work tomorrow. Time waits for no bull.”

“Yeah, yeah mom.” Applejack smiled as she waved her hadn to Dusk and the others as she pointed them upstairs. THey followed up heading up the stairs hearing the creaks and squeaks with each step. Though heading away. Applejack lead him to her child hood room. Ember simply leaning in next to Dusk,

“So, Applejack has a bit of a jail bait sister, a pair of twin older siblings, and just a strange family. I wonder what her rooms like loverboy.”

Applejack’s room, was something, as the bed was a large queen size at least enough to hold Dusk and her if they slept on it. Though the rooms covered with various bands, and even a few trophies, which when Dusk got a better look at them realized they were hog tieing.

“Like them, won them myself I was considered one of the best hog ropers around.”

“It’s pretty cool, though how did you.”

“When you live with Applebloom, you get lots of practice. Now come on lets get everything settled, I’ll get some blankets for Ember and Sunset.

“Why do we get to sleep on the floor?” Ember called out,

“Cause I don’t want My sugar here sleeping on the ground we can share a bed.” Applejack said as she gave a slight wink to Dusk who found himself blushing a bit more.

“No I don’t mind I mean besides It wouldn’t be fair Heck I’m sure I can take the couch if its too much let me go ask your parents fo—” But before he could finish that sentence they heard a loud creaking from across the wall, and then a little cry that sounded like Pear who yelled out,

“YEEE HAW!!!” as the sound of a bed bouncing from great force.

“Oh sweet baby jesus don’t tell me they’re.” But it was clear what was going on right then.
