Chapters Sweetie Belle and Mark walked through the streets of Ponyville they had just enjoyed sharing a special ice cream sundae together at Cupcake Corner before walking back to his place for the evening. They talked and laughed about how excited Pinky Pie had been for them both and how she'd bragged of putting something special in their milkshakes. Sweetie Belle snorted a laugh "It was probably mare milk! Sure tasted like it, reminded me of Rarity's when she used to feed me when my mom weren't around."
He definitely loved this filly.
"You were checking out another ponys tits while we were having our date night??" She angrily cried in his face.
Her eyes closed as she felt his mouth against hers feeling his warm breath as he gently exhaled. Her anger flared once again and she stomped her hind hoof into his gut winding him for a moment.
"I wasn't looking at her in that way, Sweety. It was just hard to miss, like how I wasn't the only one who saw Mr Carrots carrot twitch at the sight of Mrs Cakes bending over for the muffins on the bottom shelf and I know you saw too cos you blushed but you don't see me hoofing you around for it."
Sweetie paused, shocked by her actions. It was true, she herself had looked at other ponys as they 'flashed flesh' here and there and it always meant nothing because as they were only passing fancies but at the end of the day all she had was Mark now.
She hated the jealous streak inside herself she was just so insecure from being tossed from parents to sister and then onto sisters friends when there was nopony else to look after her.
Mark took a deep breath and finally got to his feet, rubbing his bruised gut. "Sweetie Belle! Please come back!" He yelled after her.
Inside the Everfree Forest, it was much darker as the overgrown trees cast out the day's dying light and the bushes rustled where not even a breeze could be felt against the sweat of his brow. He wanted to shout her name from the top of his lungs but from first arriving in Ponyville last year Mark had been told of the many dangers that lurk within it.
Cautiously he made his way through the foliage as a thick vine tried to wrap around his leg pulling him down to the hard ground, he quickly unravelled it before stomping on it making it retreat with haste.
The muffled whimpers were right on top of him now this time followed by the sound of a whip cracking followed by a muffled squeek.
Mark was about to yell again when a vine grabbed him around the neck choking him, he could barely breathe, his face was almost purple as Twilights mane.
Just then he felt it and grabbed it from his pocket holding it up like some holy relic.
Getting his strength back he turned the lighter on again.
Mark threw himself down over over her using himself as a shield in case anything else attacked.
Mark picked his pony up in his arms and hurried back into town with her in the hope that Rarity would be having a quiet night in after a tiring day at the boutique.
It was a good half hour before Mark got to Rarity's door. The thoughts raced through his mind. Rarity's quiet evening was going to turn into a complete shit storm. She was going to be frantic over her little sister and she was going to be very pissed at him for letting this happen.
Mark took a breath and rapped on the door, there was no reply so he rapped harder. "Hey you'll knock that door down if you hit it like that again Mister!" Rarity's cheery voice came from behind them.
"Please Rarity, we need your help."
Rarity couldn't speak the lump in her throat was choking her. She took a deep breath finding her voice again "Lets get her inside and you will explain everything understood?"
She saw a streak of blood on his face, Mark knew what she was going to say. "Our Sweety needs more help than me." He softly said as she led them inside.
After a heap of Rarity's healing spells on them both and a cup of tea later. Rarity had put Sweetie Belle to bed using a sleeping spell before joining Mark in her study.
Sometime later...
Mark stirred in a deep troubled slumber watching as his Sweety was ripped away by the vines from him again only this time his lighter was useless before they were eventually swallowed up by the vines.Remember ..."
Mark sat up quick his eyes only half open caught inbetween both the real and the slumber worlds.
"SWEETIE BELLE!!" He yelled out.
Not fully conscious, drifting through voices and flashes he weakly touched his lips. "Thirsty" He managed to whispered. What felt like few moments later he felt a mare standing over him. Fluttershy had fed him back to to health shortly after he first arrived in Ponyville but through blurry eyes only saw white coated legs either side of his head.
"Sweetie Belle? I...I...I'm..." He was weak and his throat felt like he'd swallowed sand. "Shhh drink up and get your strength back." A different yet familiar voice said.
"That's right darling, she doesn't lactate. Mine shall have to be suffice I'm afraid."
"Rarity! Oh no! Sweetie will get jealous again if she finds out!" He winced in pain as he moved too quickly sending him flat on his back again.
"Ohh pish darling, we've had a heart to heart on the matter and I've explained to her that it's alright and how she has to learn to control her temper in future. I mean look what's happened to you both nearly died because of it. Come now, drink up you need to get your strength back."
Rarity's horn glowed retrieving a book and a cup of tea levitated to her from separate directions.
Mark took Rarity's swollen teat back in his mouth and drank from her. He thought back to when Fluttershy had nursed him back to health with her sweet milk and how he used to gently stroke and knead her fur.
Mark mustered what strength he could whilst suckling the mare's teats, finally edging his fingers up her hind leg up to her flank and slowly back down trying his best not to tickle her.
Rarity wasn't even reading the book in front of her; it was just an old journal which was blank as a fillys flank to make Mark think it was just another ordinary thing for her to do.
Over the last year she had repeatedly kicked herself every day as failing to charm him. There had been numerous fillies carefully selected for Mark to court, since his arrival in Ponyville from her five closest friends to a handful of other fillies including Miss Cherrylee.
But she had been arrogant enough to think that he was just going to choose her simply because she battered her eyelids at him and he would just swoon over her and she would be his special somepony forever.
It had made her a little jealous but not in the extreme way that Sweetie had shown two nights ago. She was just pleased to still have him in her life and he'd made her feel like a better pony for it...she had become a better pony because of him.
She gasped as she realised that she was rocking her hips side to side as her plot glistened with arousal.
Mark took her teat from his mouth gently rolling it between his thumb and forefinger as he softly spoke to her.
"Hey there. You're allowed to feel pleasure Rarity, it doesn't make you any less of lady or a pony for doing so. You're one fetching filly Rarez and any pony would be lucky to have you. I just wish I'd have been good enough for you when we were dating you know? I...."
Rarity swung round so quickly that she turned her spell off to quick making her book and tea cup crash down on the bed. Thinking he may have angered the unicorn he tried to bury himself in the covers to weak to move out of her way and started to apologise.
She gently shushed him holding his face in her hooves looking lovingly into his eyes.
"Shhh shhh you're okay Mark, you're safe with me. I'm a silly fool! But please, please don't you ever think that for one minute that you are not good for me! You mean everything to me because..."
She nuzzled him with her head. She was about to stand and tidy up the mess when Mark threw his tired arms around her to change her mood.
She flopped down beside him nuzzling in after a long hard day. As they closed their eyes to rest Mark spoke out.
Mark weakly smiled at her words as sleep washed over him once more. "You really are a better pony and just when I never thought you couldn't get an better…My darling Rarez…" Managing just one more hug before falling back into the black.
LATER
Sweetie entered the room to find Rarity in Marks bed.
"Why are you in bed with my man Rarity?" Sweetie Belle spat.
Sweetie's eyes were full as she watched her Mark in what looked like a peaceful slumber whilst absorbing every word her sister said. "I..I'm so sorry sister Rarity. I realised I was wrong but I went galloping off blindly ending up in the forest. I'm such an idiot! If only I hadn't overreacted none of this would have happened and I'm going to make this right…I promise."
DREAM WORLD
Mark was back on the Equestrian plains overlooking the kingdom, this time his Sweetie Belle arrived with princess Luna. She didn't run to him or smile; she seemed to be standing on ceremony alongside the Princess, not sure if she was in a trance or just staring into the void.
"As the poison in your veins makes you weak, only by the power of three have less than one week, find your feet as Zecora you must seek. The days seem long so you must be strong go now if to stay where you belong....REMEMBER...."
With that she spun her and Sweetie away in a dark cloud leaving Mark alone on the Plains. An overwhelming feeling came over him again and he woke up screaming.
Shocked from her slumber Sweetie's eyes shot open putting her face to his, she put her hoof to his cheek helping him to focus that he was safe.
"I'm here Mark!" Sweetie said, holding back a tearful smile. It was the first time the couple had spoken since the accident.
"C'mon Sweety let your man breathe a little." She jibed watching the couple smiling at each other whilst wishing deep down that it was she getting that look from him.
Mark's dream still felt real; he needed to get it out in the open and off his chest deep down hoping that it was just a recurring bad dream.
He hugged Sweetie tight kissing her snotty snout. He tried sitting up and after insisting that he do so they helped prop him up before both fillies lay flanking him on the bed once again.
"REMEMBER " Luna's voice echoed.
Rarity could see him trying not to get upset, straining to keep his grit.
Rarity rubbed his head with her hoof trying not to show her emotions.
Sweetie Belle looked over to her sis as her head rose and fell on Mark's chest as he breathed.
"I mean, if you and your friends can save Equestria over the years, surely you can save Mark...Right sis?
Sweety took the time to kiss Mark on the mouth passionately. He returned her advance and ran his fingers through her mane. Her tummy grumbled making her giggle and pull away.
Mark saw her tail lurch to one side telling him she was ready to hump. She waited for his eyes to meet hers again before kissing him on the mouth as their tongues met. Mark wondered how wet her plot must be right now as he felt his member springing to life for the beautiful unicorn.
He felt a stroking around his throbbing shaft, Sweetie must've learned the spell from her sister he thought.
Upon opening his eyes to find Sweetie's horn not glowing.
Mark's head swirled as he gripped Sweetie's rear, making her squeak into his mouth as he caught one of her grazes from her whipping.
"Ahem," Rarity interjected.
Sweety stopped abruptly. She'd forgotten her sister was still in the room then seeing her horn glowing. "Rarity is your spell still on?"
Sweetie looked down seeing Mark's hard dick being stroked in her glow. Sweetie Belle angrily tried to counter her sisters spell but Rarity's magic was far stronger than her own.
She watched them writhe as she masturbated them both making her bite her lip as she felt her mare juice flowing down her hind legs with every twitch of her plot. She heard Sweety's belly grumble.
Rarity stared at Mark's throbbing cock licking her lips as it twitched for her.
Mark could see what Rarity wanted as she licked her lips staring at his member. He rolled his hips towards her, offering himself to her as he watched Sweetie drink her sister's milk.
He felt her magic take hold of him once more; the stroking felt so good as she worked his shaft slowly up and gently down. His fingers played between Sweety's teats and plot as she turned to him kissing her sister's milk into his mouth.
He held Sweety's face and passionately kissed her as Rarity worked her groaning maw on his shaft sending sensations through his member that tickled his balls.
He groaned into Sweetie Belle's maw as he slid a finger inside her wet pony slit making her meep into his mouth, whilst his fingers moved inside her becoming slick with mare cum as he caressed her warm chamber.
He gasped as Rarity took his full shaft into deep into her throat once she reached the bottom of his shaft and reached her tongue out to lick his balls.
Mark wiped his brow feeling the adrenaline give a zest of life to his lethargic muscles. He turned to Rarity holding his hand out. "Would M' Lady care to lay here beside her little sister so I can ravish both of you in the most explicit, most intimate but most passionate of ways possible."
Mark thrust his hips forward pushing his member past Sweetie's petals and deep into her womb making her cry out through the delightful pain.
Rarity could only watch as her ex lover ploughed her little sisters plot with such vigour and passion. Sweety was starting to squeak and meep faster and faster until she came so hard she sprayed marecum like piss over his cock before nearly passing out with her orgasm.
Mark again held his ball juice at bay despite the thick pre cum eagerly running down his long shaft, he was longing to release his seed upon these two elegant unicorns, but despite being driven on by the two awe inspiring beauties urged himself to hold out just that little bit longer.
He kissed into the young filly beneath him, her eyes were rolling in the back of her head, her maw agape still twitching and cooing through her intense orgasm.
Rarity moved her head kissing Mark wetly on the cheek before kissing her sister's mouth.
Mark reached out gently touching her shoulder slowly running his fingers along her firm back eventually cupping his hand to her rump and stroking her tail before naughtily putting a finger into the entrance of her ponut making her whinny into Sweetys mouth.
He slowly made his way behind her smelling her glistening plot before facing her glistening marehood head on watching her clit and petals twitching, he could only think of how beautiful she was. He put his face close and breathed her scent in deeply blowing the cool air out against her heated plot. He didn't need to see her face, he knew it was driving her wild with passion. It was the way she breathed heavy through her nose, her tail was up and limped to the left of her swaying wanting plot and her right hind hoof on point softly tapping frustratedly for attention for her stallion to fill her.
He watched her a few moments longer before pulling her tail upwards and towards him piercing her on his long thick shaft. She whinnied at the shock of being man handled but swooned on his throbbing cock all the same as he filled her womb. He let out a gutteral growl as he thrust into her whilst pulling her tail towards him like a reign as he rode her unladylike and she was loving every moment of it.
She put her mouth to her sisters wet used slit. Drooling warm saliva thickly over her thick petals and twitching clit from her warm tongue.
Upon hearing Sweetie's moans only made Mark fuck into her sisters depths harder. Rarity couldn't contain herself as she was nearing her orgasm.
The girls recuperated as Mark readied himself for his release. The girls lay panting on their backs smiling and panting as Mark stroked his dick over their beautiful faces.
Author's Note
This is a story I based on a friend of mine when he became ill a while back and he has been pestering me to put it on here...
Hope you enjoy
The sun was rising over Ponyville as Twilight and the rest of the girls arrived at Rarity's boutique. Twilight knocked as Rarity threw open the door to greet them. "Ohh girls, I'm so pleased you could make it! Have you had any luck in contacting Princess Luna?"
Twilight stepped forward "Hey, hey Rarity. We are not going to lose Mark okay. We're all here and we are all going to get to the bottom of this okay? That's why we need to stay strong and go now to Zecora." She hugged her friend. "So dry those tears and grab your bag Fashionista we've got quite the day ahead of us!"
Rarity snorted a cheerful smile through her tears. "Your absolutely right darling, we should leave at once."
Rarity rolled her eyes. "I was about to tell you girls they were having a moment besides such things seems to give Mark his vigour back so if he's 'Happy' then at least he won't be asleep as much on the journey...." She saddened once again. "I sure hope Zecora has an antidote."
Fluttershy stepped forward "Hey Mark, I know how poorly you are but I can say for all of us that we are all here for you. If you want or need anything or just need a certain pony's ear you just have to ask." The girls clopped the ground and nodded their heads in agreement. "Well said Fluttershy!" called Twilight.
The girls clopped their hooves on the ground their eyes misty and lips trembling at his kind words. He felt the weakness come over him again and made a quick bee line for AJ's cart. "Sure you gunna be able to pull me alright cowgirl?" He asked cheering her up. She smiled wiping a tear from her eye. "Sure as apples grow on trees Marksteroo! Yeehaaa!"
Upon entering the Enchanted Forest Twilight and Rarity cast a spell over the cart as there was no need to bring back any bad memories for Mark and Sweety as they themselves stepped with caution through the Forest. Fluttershy hummed a heavenly tune keeping her eye open for various plants and flowers to pick for the various medicines and teas for her furry animals.
Dream World
Mark found himself once again on the fields of Equestria he was a little more aware of himself this time around. He could smell the fields and the cool winds on his face. The long grass brushing against his hand it made him think of his favourite movie from back home. He thought of the the quote reciting it out loud with passion.
"Ohh hey Luna! Did you get Twilights message?"
"As the poison in your veins makes you weak, only by the power of three have less than one week, find your feet and Zecora you must seek. The days seem long so you must be strong go now if you want to stay where you belong....REMEMBER...."
"SWEETIE BELLE!!"
Sweety shushed him. "You're okay Mark I'm here we're safe and...we made it!"
Zecora stepped forward chanting and waving incense around.
A shiver trickled down his spine at the words now being spoken out loud in the waking world.
Zecora laughed. "With Princess Luna I've done no such thing, I only made a tonic to take your sting."
Mark settled himself and looked at her, seeing the sincerity in her eyes. "Okay, so I drink this and I'm cured?"
Zecora laughed, "I thought you were the man with the sack, so take a breath and knock it back."
Zecora called for the ponies to stand back as she cast a barrier spell and Twilight and Rarity followed suit aiming their glowing horns in Mark's direction. The fillies looked on helplessly as Mark writhed around in the green smoke he went to all fours eyes glowing green with green smoke rising out his mouth as he cried out in pain.
After what seemed like for ever it stopped, Mark lay lifeless on the ground as the girls gathered themselves and made a move towards him to help him up but Zoocora stopped them abruptly. "Shh shh you must let him lie for the curse to die." She whispered.
The girls looked puzzled? "Is that a curse? But he was only poisoned by the vines in the Enchanted Forest Zecora." Twilight stated.
Zecora stepped forward. "Which one of you is this fool in love with?"
Zecora became agitated. "You! The little filly whom stole from me last year so she could 'Have fingers' You the filly who promised never to do such a thing again have now stolen a curse for a man to love you??"
Rarity cried out. "Sweetie Belle, how could you? W-when...w-why did you do it?"
Sweetie looked scared at her sister. "I-i-it was when he went on that two month recluse when he thought there was no special somepony for him, seeing him so down I felt sorry for him I could see his sadness through his smiles and well...I had to do something."
The zebra marched over to Sweetie Belle casting a shadow over her, she was so frightened by Zecora that she actually peed herself.
Sweety was so shocked she thought she'd peed again but already sitting in a warm puddle she couldn't tell.
"This task the mane six cannot fix. Only power of three can set things straight under the hanging tree if you wish to take Mark's agony."
Twilight grimaced "Ohh cheese and rice! The Cutie Mark Crusaders? Zecora, surely we can go in their stead. Mark's fate and life would be a lot safer in our hooves surely!" She almost begged the zebra.
Rarity held her hoof to her head "What in Faust does that mean anyway??" She cried out almost fainting.
Zecora put a hoof on Twilights shoulder. "Princess when all seems lost you must learn to trust. The Cutie Mark Crusaders are a must."
Twilight gave a residing sigh. "Okay Zecora but please help us ready them for this perilous journey they're going to need a lot of help...a lot of help."
Rarity, AppleJack and Rainbow Dash each called their sisters over to get them ready for their quest.
Zecora got Mark to his feet he felt a little groggy however the poison wasn't killing him anymore but he just needed to be rid of this curse that was eating away at him. Mark slowly strolled around getting used to his legs again after been bed ridden for the last few days. He thanked her for all her help.
"I shall have princess Luna pass on my dream riddles so do not be afraid of her." Zecora assured him. "Also I have a pack for you too, can't let you go unprepared now and don't forget to take your healing potions."
Mark thanked her again and joined the crusaders each putting on their saddle bags.
Fluttershy changed the mood by handing them each a small bottle. "Here take special care of this, it's a special elixir which helps heal anything from deep cuts to bone breaks and you must only take a drop...not two drops or a swig just one drop do you understand me?" The three fillies and Mark nodded. "Yes Fluttershy thank you we'll be extra careful with it" They said in unison. "Don't worry Fluttershy, I'll keep them right." Mark added.
They said their goodbyes hopefully not final ones.
Mark stood smiling despite the physical and emotional pain inside himself looking at these beautiful ponies who he'd shared so much with over the past two years. "Remember what I told you all this morning girls, I am the luckiest man alive to have mare friends so loving and dedicated as you are."
The Mane Six could only stand back and watch as Mark and the Cutie Mark Crusaders set off on their perilous quest yet.
It was all up to Applebloom, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle now to ensure Mark's safe return.
They had been walking through the Badlands for hours. Mark took a sip of water whilst checking the map. The trek so far had been quiet as it was somber as the girls were worried about Mark but also finding out that their best friend had caused this whole thing in the first place, they just didn't know where to even start.
Mark smiled. "Thanks Scootz, but be careful okay, any signs of trouble you come on straight back alright?"
Scootaloo flew overhead grinning. "Hey I've found the perfect place...and I think your gunna love it!" She called down.Annnnnnd ...." Mark rubbed his brow smiling. "Annnd your the best!" He called out.
They came to a wooded glen passing through it with ease before the trees ahead thinned. Mark stopped and gazed at the old cabin looking out over the river and the setting sun. Scootaloo flew down just in time to catch Mark's jaw from hitting the ground.
Mark gathered himself. "Okay girls! Set your packs down where you'll be sleeping tonight, then we need water and wood for the fire. So Bloomy, Scoots, work out who does what. I'm going to have a talk with Sweetie."annnd I just so happened to have Twilight pick up some sweet treats from Cupcake Corner."
Mark and Sweetie Belle headed into the cabin setting down their packs. Mark pulled a sheet away uncovering a table and chairs near a window looking onto the river. Sweetie Belle kept her head to the floor moving slowly and heavy knowing what was coming.
He took a deep breath. "Sooo..." Sweetybelle interrupted him, holding back her sobs.
Mark got a noseful of her dry urine. "Say hows about I get you cleaned up and then we can join the others outside by the fire?" She sniffed a little smile forming through her tears. "Okay then."
A short time later.
The food was nearly done and Mark called the three fillies over. "Hey girls! Feeding time!!" He heard the hoofsteps cantering towards him as he dished the food out and sat down either side of him. Applebloom and Scooterloo beamed wide seeing Mark had made their favourite.
He watched them pouting with puppy eyes before continuing. "What's done is done, but what you three have is special, like a sacred bond of sisterhood...Sweetie Belle is hurting right now, she knows what she did was wrong and she needs to know that you two are always here for her no matter what. So can I count on you both? Can Sweety count on you both?"
Mark picked her up in his loving arms and just hugged her. She started to weep. "Put me down! I don't deserve this! I'm a terrible pony! Let me go!!"
Mark watched her for a moment and carried her through into the front of the cabin in silence to the window.
"So my Sweet Sweetz, get your supper and go join your sisters out there and make amends...don't just do it for me but do it for yourself."
Mark watched out the window as she returned to the fold giving him a small wave of hope.
Mark smiled wondering what their future had in store, but he knew one thing for certain, that those three girls would be together forever.
The girls sat around the campfire sharing the treats around as the flames eventually turned to embers and it wasn't long before the chill started nipping at their hooves. Mark grabbed a couple of blankets and headed over to the girls wrapping them up in them before throwing one over himself and joined them.
They sat toasting marshmallows and telling stories until the embers started to fade.
It was starting to get late Mark ushered the girls towards the cabin for bed. Scooterloo flew up in his face "Aww please Mark just one more story." Applebloom and Sweetybelle put the puppy eyes on "Yeah Mark PLEEEEEEEAAAASE! !" They both begged.PLEEEEEEEEEEAAAAASE MARK! !"
They cantered into their room. "Come on Sweetie you can down side me tonight!" Applebloom called out. "Yeah and me!" Yelled Scooterloo, who had already picked up Sweety's bedding from the other room landing back beside them.
He made himself comfortable on the corner of the bed as he told them all about his home town, the fascinating places he had visited and the people he had met over the years they sat in awe at the time he got stranded on a mountainside. They cheered as he told them of the 10K race he won and giggled about the time when...well, Mark will keep that between them.
After tucking the girls in for the night Mark went to his bed and lay down looking at the ceiling of the cabin wondering what the day would bring. Would he live? Would he die? His body ached as Zecora's potion had wore off.
It was Sweetie Belle, she was clambering up onto the bed, trying to be as quiet as she could.
He felt her hoof touch his back as she whispered ever so quietly. "I remember the first day I met you. The girls and I thought you were a big scary monster with you having hands instead of hooves, but later after you sat us down and let us get to know you better showing us you were friendly and we helped you decorate your cabin and we had so much fun. By the end of it we were covered in paint from head to hoof and you took us upstairs and put me, Apple and Scootz in your tub and washed us down and then you saw I had paint on my filly bits and you didn't bat an eyelid, you just got the soap and massaged the paint off while trying not to hurt me and I remember how your once scary hands were so soft...so gentle against against my sensitive bits, the way you carefully worked the paint from my teats and plot. I knew then that you were my special somepony, I just wish that I had...that I'd have had the confidence to ask you properly instead of stealing from Zecora and I need you to know that I'm so so sorry and I wish I could take it back... I'd do anything."
She carefully kissed the back of his head then nuzzling in closing her eyes to sleep. Mark had listened to her words contently, he remembered everything about that day. He remembered how she smiled at him and how soft she felt in his hands and the way her cheeks turned as red as one of Applejacks prized apples against her snow white fur as he had washed her down.
He rolled over so they were spooning and breathed her scent in deep slowly sliding his hand between her hind quarters listening to her meep and moan as she moved her hips against his hand. He held her close continuing to dance his fingers over her tender teats and twitching plot.
She almost screamed out loud as his fingers plunged deep inside her slit caressing her soft pink walls.
Sweetie's heart felt like it was going to beat from her chest as she panted trying to catch her breath locked in Marks embrace. He ran a hand through her thick soft mane before kissing her on the neck.
Deep in sleep
Mark wandered once again through the fields the kingdom was right beside him now.
"Remember - With three fillies you must find the lake of the water lilies.
Mark jumped up from his dream. "SWEETYBELLE !!"
He looked down to find Applebloom and Scooterloo laying peacefully asleep beside him.
He stroked their soft fur running his fingers softly over them. "Girls...girls...time to wake up" He said softly as he gently rocked them from their sleep.
He gave her a head pat as she raced out the door trying not to pee herself.
He could see Applebloom starting to get upset and tried to change the subject.
Mark lay on his back a moment soaking in the morning sun as it shone through the window onto him, giving himself a few moments before getting up.
Marks thoughts wandered to what maybe the last day of his life. He'd heard people back home ask 'What would you do if you only had one day left to live?' Before listening to them come out with sentimentalities, cool and wondrous things. However if he was asked this question now his answer would simply be "Fight to see tomorrow."
He snapped from his thoughts as the girls laughed out loud together over a joke they'd heard. He was pleased they were getting back on track with each other as they enjoyed their breakfast and simply spending time with each other.
"Okay girls, start packing up we move out in five." He called out to them.
Mark stopped and took her face in his hand looking into her beautiful emerald eyes. "That's why no matter what happens today, I need you to know that I Love you and if...if the worst does happen you must promise me that you will stay with your sisters and that you won't become a hermit and then maybe one day find your special somepony, settle down and have a few foals, however you have to do one thing for me..." Sweetie was hanging onto his every word. "Anything, just name it..." He moved closer to her. "If you have a son as rugged and dashing name him after me will ya!" She laughed trying not to cry not sure if he was joking. "Sure thing!" She giggled.
Scooterloo flew down interrupting them. "Hey lovebirds! Hurry up, will ya! There'll be plenty time for that later!" Sweetybelle huffed blushing at her. Mark kissed Sweetie on her nose.
Mark made sure they hadn't left anything around the cabin after putting the fire out.
Applebloom stopped a moment "Umm girls...?" Scooterloo looked at Applebloom and Sweetie Belle doing that thing with her head when she was trying to be low key.
"Mark, we the Cutie Mark Crusaders would like to thank you for all you have done for Equestria our families. Since your arrival here years ago we have been so grateful for everything you have done and today we would like to make you an honourary member of the Cutie Mark Crusaders!"
"Well you do anything and everything for everypony and you still haven't got your cutie mark yet...Maybe one day you'll find something what you're really good at." Applebloom smiled.
Mark smiled at her optimism 'Maybe one day' He mused.
"Okay girls bring it in again.
"CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS!!!"
They cheered and set off on their most dangerous quest yet.
Scooterloo flew overhead keeping her eyes peeled for any trouble up ahead meanwhile on the ground Mark walked alongside Applebloom and Sweetybelle as Sweety sang aloud the Cutiemark Crusader theme song from when they were little fillies.
Mark smiled as he listened to her angelic voice, he always enjoyed listening to her singing it was one of the main things that first drew his attention to her, other than her emerald green eyes against her purple and pink mane set against her body of white fur.
He thought back to their first date and how she sucked him off under the table in Cupcake Corner almost laughing as he remembered how Pinkie Pie almost caught them.
Mark closed his eyes, it was more real now this was it…the final stretch.
Mark decided it was time for a respite to get their energy levels back up. "C'mon girls let's park it here for a spell, we're going to need our energy for whatever's awaiting us at that lake."
