Soon after Fluttershy and Applejack arrived, Rainbow, Smolder and FrostBite told the group about what happened the night before. Emotions shifted from rage at Zeffer and concern for Rainbow to respect, fear and thanks to FrostBite. As they recounted what happened when he got back, several ponies blushed about how forward their friend was. Rainbow's parents however were proud of how bold and fearless their baby was, and how much of a gentlecolt FrostBite was. The couple skipped over the events that happened behind closed doors.

Smolder finished by explaining what happened when they woke that morning and how Rainbow was a member of FrostBite's herd. "Technically she's not his mate, because of what led up to their bonding." She explained. "It's best they leave it at that till they become closer."

"I'm just glad that you're alright." Fluttershy said happily.

"And we're happy our Dashie found herself a stallion that can protect her and support her." Rainbow's parents said in unison.

The group spent the next few hours laughing and talking about the different things that happened in the dragon lands before FrostBite arrived in Ponyville, as they ate food cooked by Spike and Smolder.

Meanwhile in the courtroom of Canterlot. Zeffer stood before the princesses and a very unhappy Ember.

"Spitfire has told us of what you have done." Celestia said sternly. "He also informed us of your connections with an anti hybrid group that made the article about the other night."

"Do you have anything to say in your defense?" Luna hissed.

"I don't know about any anti"

"SILENCE!" Ember roared. The princesses glanced at her concealing their approval of how similar her Dragon Lord voice resembles the Canterlot Voice. "DON'T DARE LIE TO US! WE ALL SAW THE RECORDS!"

Zeffer gulped and hung his head. "I… I was drunk and didn't know they were" He started again.

This time Luna spoke. "AGAIN YOU ATTEMPT TO LIE! WE HAVE HEARD ENOUGH!"

Celestia took a deep breath. "We hoped you would speak the truth and help us bring peace. But it seems you have much to learn about friendship." She sighed.

"You will serve FrostBite for one draconic breeding cycle." Ember huffed.

"How long is that?" Luna asked, receiving a grin from Ember.

"That depends. Young male dragons can enter a rut several times before a female is in heat. And that can last an entire month or so." Ember replied.

Luna smirked. "And when do you think Smolder will be in heat?"

Celestia saw where this was going and waited for Ember's answers.

"If memory serves… she just ended hers and won't be in heat for another… twelve months."

Luna's smile grew to a grin as Celestia sighed. "Very well." Celestia concluded, turning to Zeffer. "As punishment. You shall serve FrostBite in any way he or Rainbow Dash sees fit til Smolder finishes her next heat cycle."

Zeffer's eyes shot wide. All things considered, he felt like he was getting off easy… that is till Luna added. "And how will we ensure he doesn't try anything with Miss Dash?"

"Maybe you have some kind of control collar?" Ember asked.

"With his connections? Who's to say he won't try and have it removed?" Luna countered.

The three thought for a bit before Luna suggested. "Discord can…" Was all she had to say to get the others into a huddle. Several minutes passed before they turned back to Zeffer.

As if expecting his need, Discord walked into the room eating a bag of popcorn. "I saw the whole thing." He chimed, causing the princesses and Ember to roll their eyes. "And I have just the punishment in mind for him." Grinning at Zeffer he tossed the bag to the three and cracked his knuckles as he loomed over his victim.

As they watched, the three started to idoly eat the popcorn. "You might not like him." Ember explained. "But you can't argue… he's good at his job." With a mouthful of food the two sisters nod in amazement at his work.

"After this. We'll need to look into who all is involved with that group. Now that we have a lead." Luna pointed out. A shared nod was her response as Discord finished his work. "Good. Now off to Ponyville with you." Luna huffed. With a snap of his claw, Zeffer poofed from sight. "I'd rather they get to see the change first." She snickered.

As dinner drew near, Twilight and her friends took turns saying their goodnights. Rainbow and her parents however were offered a place to sleep for the night. An offer that her parents accepted after seeing how eager their daughter was.

As the group opened the door, they stared in shock at a familiar looking mare standing in a maid's outfit. She sheepishly rubbed her forelegs with her head hung.

"I'm… here for… my punishment… master." She said hesitantly looking past the girls at FrostBite.

Blinking the girls looked from FrostBite to the mare then back to the confused FrostBite as Fluttershy looked the mare over. "Zeffer?" She gasped, causing the girls to do the same before quickly pulling the mare inside.

"The princesses decided this was my punishment." Zeffer explained. "And I'm to serve FrostBite till after Smolder's next heat."

The girls blinked as the dragoness laughed. "Wait. Don't tell me… you have to service him in any way he wants or needs."

Zeffer nodded. "Including his morning needs." She replied, causing Smolder and Rainbow to fall over laughing.

"Sorry Flutters. But I really don't feel sorry for him. This is a perfect punishment." Rainbow laughed.

Zeffer sniffed the air causing her eyes to widen and lock onto FrostBite. Seeing this Rainbow sighed. "Looks like it's time for her to get to work." She laughed, getting the girls to quickly exit.

Once the four were alone, Smolder motioned to Rainbow to follow her upstairs as Zeffer moved to stand between FrostBite's legs nervously.

"This is going to be a long, weird week." FrostBite sighed.

Author's Note

Yeap... Zeffer is not FrostBite and Rainbow's bitch. Now to decide who's next... Fluttershy, Pinkie, Applejack, Twilight or maybe a friend/family member of the main six?

Saving Rarity for after a few more join.
