Anonymous and Stalwart Stealth talked for another hour before making their way back into the apartment. It was for the first time in 15 years that the man felt he truly earned the respect of his father-in-law. Their conversations were mostly about things only males of any species would love. He also shared a few stories of his time in Lunar Sentinels, albeit with some details changed around for what he called "Hush Horse". Anonymous always found the Equine terms hilarious, but knew better than to laugh about it. He was, after all, in their world and he had no doubt they'd find human terms and names hilarious to them.

"Good thing I've never told them too much about Earth and it's history. Last thing I needed in the past was ponies or any species to be freaked out about my kind. I could imagine misanthropic loser whining and making that mistake if one were in my shoes."

The man shook his head from such thoughts as it was a waste of time, one he couldn't afford to lose. He had a major party to attend and a wonderful wife to escort. The foals were settles in with Glisten Sheen happily listening to her music and reading a magazine only a teenage filly would read. Eventide was happily drawing away in a sketch pad, while Moon Flash was playing with his Joy Boy Advance. Their Grandmother was in the master bedroom, no doubt helping Sweet Shade with her dress and make-up. Stalwart Stealth made his way to his "La-Z-Colt" Seat, and took a book to read.

Anonymous knew the older stallion wasn't much of a reader, as it was mostly just a means to keep an eye on his grand-foals. The man himself made his way to the guest-room and started changing into his party tuxedo. It was probably one of the best Anonymous has ever owned, and he had Rarity Belle to thank for that. Nothing from Earth even came close to it, and it fit the man impeccably. Stallion or not, Anonymous was a catch and he knew it.

Whether he was single or married, Anonymous had been flirted with, checked out, and proposed by quite a few females over his time on Equis. He had been hit on by no less than six mares within his first year of living in Equestria. He was surprised to be found attractive by mares but turned all of them down within the first year of his new life. However, the fact he was the only human in Equestria eventually caught up to him. Sexual frustration eventually changed his perception of the mares and Anonymous found out real quick what mares had to offer.

He had found himself checking out mare butts more and more. And not just their butts, but their tufts, mane, tails, and their colorful eyes. Thoughts of doing cuddles, massages, and kisses weren't just infesting his mind, but many unspeakable dirty acts populated his mind everyday. It got to the point he found himself masturbating nearly multiple times a day to the many mares he interacted with. Sometimes mares would wear nice perfumes or have exceptionally clean looking coats that just tempted Anonymous to grab a mare for himself.

As time went on, he eventually found out butts were called, "Plots" by the ponies. He never bothered finding out why, only that the "plot" was important and he wanted not just a piece but as many as he could. He couldn't resist it anymore and the moment the next mare proposed a romp, she quickly found out why humans were great lovers. Anonymous was still a young man at time and memories of his first mare popped into his mind.

His first mare some Earth Pony who had blonde mane and tail, with a brown and orange mix coat, and sported a Trophy cutie mark. Anonymous remembered she was a little stuck up and embarrassed that she asked him to rut her. She made it clear it was to mean nothing and that she'd be gone the next day. Three hours of pounding and licking that mare in places she'd never felt made her beg for more, which he gladly did. Being young man he was, he bailed the moment she fell asleep. This was mostly due to the fact the wanted to cuddle and nuzzle him afterwards, while whispering in his ear "You're going to be a great husband".

He didn't want to settle down and he knew she wouldn't leave him if he hadn't escaped. That very same mare tried to find him the next day, but the human had proved elusive. He never saw her again and forgot her name, but he didn't forget what a crazy lay she was. As Anonymous tried to find his expensive custom made Canterlot Trotlex watch, he tried to remember the mare's name out of curiosity.

"Miss Hersh-Harshwhinnie? Oh hell, I can't remember her name. She certainly did have a trophy "plot", that's for certain. She had one of the best butts I've ever tapped. Puts even some of the women I've fucked to shame."

And that hadn't been the only time young Anonymous had done such a thing. He wound up bedding eight more mares that same year. He even managed to sleep with a Gryphon Gal visiting Manehatten. She also had a very nice booty that was little more on the muscle side. She wound up submitting to him and came hard to Anonymous like many of the other mares had.

As with every other lover Anonymous had, she too tried to rope the man into a relationship but failed. The man eventually matured and wised up to the fact that, while many females in this world will sleep with a male, they almost always expected him to stick around. Anonymous gained a major ego boost knowing many of Equis' females craved him.

His fun phase didn't last forever and it wasn't until a serious event made him question his actions. A slightly older but attractive Pegasus mare cried outside his door begging to be let inside. He had slept with her the previous night and he wound up making the mistake of massaging her wing joints, rubbing her tuft, and playfully kissing her ears in a certain order. This apparently was a Pegasus cultural sign of long-term commitment and she had taken it exactly as such.

This made her think Anonymous would fully commit to her and start a family. He also would later find out cross-breeding, while a rare, was possible, along with foal adoption. After telling her it was just harmless fun, she had a full-blown meltdown. Anonymous wouldn't let her back into the apartment and she refused to leave, not wanting to lose her "nesting-husband". She cried, begged, and even offered to sleep with him every day, along with every other promise a mare could make under the sun and moon.

The Ponice eventually were summoned and she was removed from the premises. It was that moment Anonymous realized sex was no laughing matter and it to be taken seriously in Equestria. He stopped partaking in the tempting availability of single mares and other single female species in Manehatten and abstained from casual sex. It just wasn't worth the heartache it caused.

Strangely enough, the moment he shunned his "mare slaying ways" was when he ran into Copper Top. Anonymous wasn't sure why he was reminiscing about his past but figured it was because he was simply taking his wife out to celebrate. There was no mistaking Sweet Shade was going to rock his night when the party was over. The batpony wife made it clear she intended to do just that and quote,

"I'm going to do every nasty thing under the moon for you. Yes, you heard me Anonymous. I'm gonna do things that will make Nightmare Moon blush brighter than a blood moon. I'm gonna suck you dry like a real batpony mare does for her husband."

To drive the point home, she flashed her fangs and licked her lips seductively. He almost was tempted to rub one out but he knew Sweet Shade would notice the volume difference later in the night. Anonymous eventually found his watch, and put it on his wrist before making his way to the quest room's connected bathroom. He needed to brush his teeth and put cologne on for the night. Taking the toothbrush and tooth paste, Anonymous recalled meeting Copper Top once more.

*16 YEARS AGO*

The day after the older pegasus mare was removed from old apartment, Anonymous went out for a walk around Manehatten Park. The day was clear and calm but not for long as Anonymous heard a noise.

"Hey you! Stop!"

The unmistakable sound of a mare yelling caused Anonymous to turn around and see a burly looking older stallion running away with a small saddlebag in his mouth. The man shrugged his shoulders and tripped the stallion, who dropped the bag. Three Ponice ponies appeared and took the stallion into custody. It was at that moment the mare noticed Anonymous where the bag was, and moved to talk to him.

"Oh boy, time a to make a statement."

"Alright mister, I'm gonna need a statement from you. After that, you're free to go."

As the mare took out a notepad from her small side pouch, the man noticed something about her. She was confident, direct, and attractive. He couldn't help but check her out every inch of her. Even her earth pony "plot" looked very alluring and well built. Bullets of sweat started to form on his forehead as he was unsure if he should even take a chance to ask her out for a date. He had never asked a mare out, as it had always been the opposite, but now the roles were reversed. It was even more nerve racking due to the fact she was a ponicemare.

"Should I shoot my shot?......FUCK IT! I'M ALL IN!"

"No."

The silence between the two was deafening and the man was sure he could hear the gears in her mind coming to a halt. After five seconds of silence the ponicemare asked, "Say that again."

"No." said Anonymous with a casual tone.

The ponicemare adjusted herself and put away the notepad. She jiggled her hoof cuffs that rested on the left side and no doubt was trying intimidate the man. This only served to take his attention away from her face towards her plot. The fine prize was almost tempting the man from breaking his composure, but he held firm.

"There a reason you're not cooperating?"

"Say something dammit!"

"Yes."

She raised an eye brow and took a closer step close to him. Despite the size difference, the ponicemare appeared to be confident she could take him down. She then asked him, with a prepared posture,

"Were you involved someway shape or form with suspect you helped apprehend?"

"No."

The man's casual tone further irritated the mare, and he began to wonder if he was truly pushing his luck. She asked again,

"Then why won't you just give me your witness statement and be on your way?"

Anonymous grossed his arms and grinned like an anime protagonist. Pointing at the mare in a manner that would make Ace Attorney proud, he replied,

"Because I'm gonna need to ask you out for a coffee first. What do you say?"

If Anonymous could hear the gears in the ponicemare's mind come to a stop, he'd have heard them fall apart completely. She stepped back and stammered quickly, "Wh-what? You...are you serious mister?"

He nodded and said, "My memory of these events is kind of...cloudy. I need coffee and I wouldn't mind buying you a cup for your trouble. I know you gotta job to do, but still, join me for a cup of joe and you'll get your statement. Besides, a hot fuzz like you needs to do her job, you likely need a break. So why not spend it with me?"

Her sunglasses slightly fell down towards her muzzle's end, revealing gorgeous green eyes that captivated Anonymous. Green was his favorite color and he felt like he discovered treasure. Before she could recompose herself, two locked eyes with one another. His heart skipped a beat for a moment. As another few seconds went by, it was obvious she was trying to not blush. She obviously knew he was asking her for a date, and based upon her reaction, it probably was very rare thing for a stallion to ask her out. She failed at her attempts maintain composure, revealing to Anonymous his charm had struck a nerve with the ponicemare.

She quickly adjusted her glasses and visibly relaxed her posture. The waiting for an answer made Anonymous nervous before she finally said, "Yes."

"Phew, that could have ended in disaster."

But the man wasn't out of the woods yet as she said, "I'm formally detaining you. You're not to leave my presence until you've given me a statement. I'm required to have one for anypon-er, any individual that's had an interaction with a criminal incident. Now take me to that cup of Joe, or else.."

He gave a two finger salute before pointing at a spot across the street. It was a small coffee shop that he usually frequented and the ponicemare saw it. She motioned for him to follow and he did as ordered. He had no complaints as it gave him a chance to admire her "plot". And if he didn't know any better at the time, she probably wanted him to look.

As Anonymous continued brushing his teeth, he remembered how that coffee date went. After giving her a free coffee, they played a back and forth game of exchanging information. He'd ask Copper Top a question and she'd ask him one in return. What turned from a simple statement request turned into hours long, but enjoyable conversation. Anonymous asked to meet with her again and she happily accepted. She left with her statement required for her report but not before smiling and giving him a wink with a blush. They eventually went on several more dates and heavily flirted with each other.

She was truly a mare he wanted to treat right and the man did just that. After having gone on many dates, Anonymous planned on asking her to be his marefriend, and to make it clear his intentions were for an eventual marriage. No way in Hell or Tartarus he planned on making the same mistake as he had with other mares. Unfortunately, his plan never materialized.

As Anonymous finished brushing his teeth, he grabbed the floss and mouth rinse as another memory popped into his mind.

*16 YEARS AGO*

Anonymous had shaved himself and was all decked out in his custom club outfit. A simple white button shirt with a stylish coat. He wore matching pair of pants to go along with it, and an expensive cologne to match. He paid a perfume shop a fair amount of saved Bit to make it just for him and the result came out very well.

"I hope Copper Top likes it. I certainly think it smells great."

After checking himself out in front of the mirror, he smirked and made his way to the door. A brief ride on the Manehatten Public Tram later and short walk five blocks over, Anonymous found himself at one of the more popular dance clubs in the city.

"Here I am, Club Trotter. Another horse pun, but whatever, it looks like a fun place."

There was line leading from the door, which was guarded by a rather tough looking Earth Pony stallion. He was flanked by an abnormally strong looking Pegasus mare, who undoubtedly there for any mare that was unruly. Anonymous also spotted quite a few batponies, with an odd pegasus mare and even a gryphon gal or two sitting on a wooden platform. The platform was on the building next door to the club and clearly constructed for the winged species to mingle and chat before they could enter the club.

It was little things like this that the man couldn't believe what he was seeing before shrugging his shoulders and making his way towards the line. He still had to remind himself every now and then that this wasn't Earth nor was it Kansas anymore. The similarities between the worlds were still just that, similarities and nothing more.

"Yeah, I'm in another world but still, that sight reminds me of pigeons just sitting around. Very weird."

After finding a spot to stand away from the line leading to the club, the man checked his old smartphone. Having a solar charger was one of the best purchases of his and despite being useless to make calls, he could still use it for other purposes. It was also one of the few possessions he retained from Earth and Anonymous was never was going to let it go. It also contained pictures of his friends and family from Earth. If anypony or creature tried to steal it, they were as good as dead.

As he unlocked the phone, the screen lit up and showed the time.

"Well, I'm here on time, that's for certain. But where the hell is she?"

Another few minutes went by with no sign of Copper Top in sight. The line to Club Trotter continued further while Anonymous stood against a wall looking around for his date. It was very uncharacteristic of Copper Top to not follow-up with a plan, making Anonymous concerned. While she was certainly not a mare to be trifled with, he still was concerned for her safety. As another five minutes went by, Anonymous wondered if he had been stood up.

"Well, looks like I got ghosted. Equestria doesn't really have a telephone system and I don't know which Ponice sub-station she works at...Shit, looks like Karma got to me. I should probably-"

Just before he could put the phone away, his thoughts were interrupted by a new voice.

"Hey there, handsome. What'cha got there?"

The sudden interruption almost made him flinch and drop his phone, but Anonymous composed himself. He put the phone away and took notice of the new presence. It was batpony mare, with a bright blonde mane, pale violet coat, and green eyes. She flashed a toothy grin showing her fangs as she flapped her wings to keep eye level with him. She was, and still to this day, very sexy to Anonymous and to any stallion with a decent sense of taste.

She must have sensed Anonymous checking her out because the mare only pressed her flirting attempts.

"Hmm, don't wanna answer? C'mon, big colt, you don't seem like the shy type. Am I that hot you can't say anything?"

"Don't act like simp, and feign disinterest."

He crossed his arms and shrugged his shoulders before saying, "I've seen better."

For split second she flew aback, almost as if one was shocked. She returned to her previous spot and still kept flapping her wings at his eye level. It was very quick, but he could see the small shock of disbelief that some male wasn't fawning over her looks. It was pretty clear she wasn't used to such a reaction, and Anonymous knew he made the right call. This only served to keep her interested in the man before she answered, "Oh really? Mares better than me? Please, I doubt any of them can hold a candle to me, even in the darkest of night."

Anonymous rolled his eyes, "You ain't brighter than the moon, not even on it's best night. Now, can you flap away? I'm waiting for somepony."

The batpony mare started to get frustrated and slightly red in the face. Anonymous found it strange he could see ponies blushing despite them having fur coats and it seemed that batponies were no exception. Her frustration turned into grin once more before saying, "Well, where is she?"

"Damn, this mare is persistent."

"What makes you think it's a she?"

The batpony mare chuckled before answering, "Well, it's got to be a mare, because why would a guy like you just wait here all dressed nice and fine?"

Anonymous wanted to make a retort but realized denying the obvious would get him no where. And she did have a point seeing how Copper Top was still nowhere to be seen. He sighed and said, "Fine, you got me there. I have no clue. Besides, what's it to you?"

She licked her lips as if she spotted a fresh piece of fruit to prey upon. Anonymous wasn't sure if he should be nervous or turned on. He had to admit, he was slightly excited a mare was blatantly hitting on him. Most men would be thrilled to have a woman be the one to hit on them. It was as if someone turned on the dating difficulty to easy mode, which was almost too good to be true.

But his experiences with past mares had proven otherwise. So long as you appeared healthy and fit, you had a decent shot. There were more mares than stallions in Equestria and from what Anonymous heard, it was almost the same with other races across Equis. He had an advantage, even if it was mostly him being an exotic choice. And despite that, the mare he wanted still hadn't arrived.

"Seriously, where the hell is Copper Top?"

The batpony mare ginned and said, "Because I want get inside the club and you look like you're going to be a lot of fun. So why not you and I spend some time together and have fun?"

It was times like this that Anonymous had choices to make. He could chose to blow the mare off and keep waiting for Copper Top or he could spend some time with a mare that was clearly showing interest in him. He really wanted to make something work with Copper Top, but her lack of presence put a damper on that. It also made the man wonder if the Ponicemare had lost interest. He did, after all, make it clear to her that he wanted her to be at the club and it wasn't for some random fun.

"Maybe I scared Copper Top away? She might have sensed I was ready for something serious and probably wanted to focus on her career..."

"I'll even buy you drinks."

What Anonymous did would forever change the course of his new life in Equestria. He looked for Copper Top one more time but couldn't see her anywhere. Shrugging his shoulders, Anonymous pointed to the line leading to the club's entrance and said, "I'll hold you to it."

The batpony mare and the man eventually got into the club, which wound up being one of the best nights of his life. What little guilt he had for spending the night with Sweet Shade evaporated once they hit the dance floor. Her personality seemed to compliment him very well and it helped that she was very attractive for pony standards. Anonymous even took the risk of sleeping with her on the same night of meeting her, and he didn't regret it at all. Sweet Shade stayed with Anonymous for three days straight, where their lustful activities quickly turned into activities of love.

Anonymous never found out Copper Top's whereabouts, as it didn't help the fact they had never visited each other's apartment in order to maintain proper boundaries. With no address and too many Ponice Stations across Manehatten, Anonymous gave up on Copper Top. It was strange, despite going on many coffee dates and walking around the Manehatten's Canter Park, neither one of them came across each other's path. Anonymous also quit his job at a newspaper distribution shop shortly before their last date.

He also thought of going back and asking his former boss if she came to look for him. His hopes were crushed after the old boss, who was a dick, said, "Yeah, some Ponicemare came by looking for ya. She didn't leave a business card or nottin'. Now git' unless you're gonna get back to workin' for me. With reduced pay, of course."

Anonymous flipped off that piece of shit stallion to his face before walking off. The man remembered the hybrid look of confusion and anger before he stormed off. It was as if, he couldn't figure out if he was supposed to be offended or not. It was one of many little differences between Earth and Equis. The stallion was one of many reasons the man quit working there, but mostly the poor pay.

Despite losing contact with Copper Top, Anonymous was grateful that he found another mare. He had a feeling that she was going to work out and his was correct.

After flossing his teeth and using mouth rinse, Anonymous stopped to check himself in the mirror. Everything about himself was spotless, to include his appearance, hygiene and suit. He looked back from the time he found himself in Equis and to the present moment staring at his reflection. It almost seemed like a fairy tale to the man, but it was real. This was his life, and Anonymous never wanted it to stop.

"What a hell of life I've had so far. I went to a land of fucking talking ponies and married one. I've got three foals and I have sense of purpose. I'll never give it away, even if the chance to go back to Earth presented itself."

Taking a sigh, Anonymous pointed at his reflection with two fingers in the shape of a gun, and said, "Time to get'em, shooter."

The man made his way to the living room and was greeted by his foals. Moon Flash was the first to spot him and said, "Woah! You look cool, dad! Like a secret agent."

That made Anonymous smirk but also chuckle on the inside. Equestrian movies were taken seriously by the native ponies, but any human who had the fortune (or misfortune) to watch them, would laugh. Even their action movies were at times, too much for the man in their absurdness. Nevertheless, Anonymous enjoyed the compliment and gave his son a thumbs up.

Eventide flew up and hovered over to her dad before giving him a hug. He returned the hug before she said, "You look really nice daddy! Mommy going to be happy to see you. OH!"

Before he could ask what was going on, the little batpony filly flew to her coloring book and grabbed it with her teeth. She flew a little too fast with her wings and caused some torn coloring book sheets to fly in the air. One of them flew right into Glisten Sheen's face, which broke her concentration reading her magazine. She removed it with a free hoof and said, "Stop flying fast inside! Mom and Dad told you not to do that."

"It's fine, Glissy. I'll let it slide this time." said Anonymous.

The teenage filly blushed before saying, "Dad, don't call me that. You know I don't like that nickname."

Stalwart Stealth turned his head to his oldest grandfoal and asked, "What's wrong with that? Seems harmless to me."

Moon Flash immediately answered, "It's because when she was nine, she-"

Knowing this was going to upset Glisten Sheen, Anonymous stopped Moon Flash, "No. Now is not the time. Go back to playing with your JoyBoy."

The colt was disappointed but did as his father ordered. Anonymous noticed Glisten Sheen was now buried in her magazine, doing her best to avoid being seen. Stalwart Stealth shrugged before turning his attention back to Eventide and Anonymous. The man took the paper from her teeth as she hovered in the air with her little batpony wings flapping.

It was a sweet, if a bit crude, drawing of Anonymous and Sweet Shade together. They were inside a typical heart outline with a blue night background and a full moon on the corner. It also had bright green letters on the top saying, "Mommy and Daddy 4-ever." It was sweet and he loved it, and Anonymous said, "This is going on the fridge when we get home. Thank you my little moon princess."

She squealed in happiness before giving him another hug and going back to her drawing book. Before anypony else could speak, a door opened and the sound of hooves could be heard coming from the hallway. The grandmother, Sundown Soft, walked around the corner and stood off to the side. She gave a warm smile before saying, "Everypony, let me introduce to you, the Mare of the Night!"

Everypony, including Anonymous, turned to see Sweet Shade walk out from the hallway. Anonymous' brain struggled find the right words to describe her beauty. The dress that Rarity Belle made was perfect as it complimented Sweet Shade's coat and eyes. It had an expensive set of diamond's adorned near where her cutie mark would be. They were aligned in the shape of a Volleyball, with minor little cuts of gems scattered through the dress. This gave the dress the appearance of a night sky with the diamond Volleyball cutie mark decoration as the moon.

As if that wasn't enough, if the light was directed at the diamonds at a certain angle, the image of the Volleyball would change into the image of a full moon. It's was a very cool trick that Anonymous had no doubt Rarity enchanted with a little illusion charm. She was a unicorn, after all, and the dress illustrated her affinity for both her dress making and magic. To add to the perfection, his wife had makeup that was on par with a professional's work. Her mane was parted off to the side in a sexy way.

Her mane and tail were clearly conditioned for an extra degree of brightness and shine, and he had no complaints about it. She also had a blue rose in between one side of her mane and ear. It was as if it were a cherry on top of the perfection known as her beauty. Several "Oohs' and "Wows" were heard coming form the rest of the family, while Anonymous couldn't muster any words.

"Well...what to do you think, honey?"

Sweet Shade stood there, waiting for her husband's feedback. If there was one thing Anonymous learned, when words failed, then action should be next. He simply walked over and took her by her forelegs, and raised her up. She stood upright on her hind legs while her forelegs wrapped around his waist. He leaned down and met her with his lips.

Both the mare and the man gave an appropriate light, but loving kiss for all ages. Both Stalwart Stealth and Sundown Soft gave an approving smile, before meeting each other's eyes, exchanging a loving look between themselves. Eventide sat on her haunches and held her hooves to her heart and went, "D'aww! True love!"

Moon Flash rolled his eyes while cranking the volume up on his JoyBoy. He quickly muttered, "Gross.", before returning back to his game. Glisten Sheen looked at her parents and frowned before forcing a smile. Anonymous paid no attention to everypony's reactions and focused on his wife's eyes as they parted their kiss.

Her beautiful emerald green eyes kept his heart and soul focused on on her, preventing his mind from having any doubts about her. Gone were all previous memories of his life before Sweet Shade. No other mare could truly keep a match to her, not even Copper Top herself.

The only thing Anonymous could say one word to Sweet Shade,

"Perfect."
