My Little Pony: Equestrian Life In another World

It had been almost a month since Rarity confessed her love to Jim, and he couldn’t be any happy about it. For now, he found his soulmate, and someone special to share that life with. However, during that month, he and Rarity had begun to date. And every now and then, Jim would find a place on Ponyville that would be ideal. However, sometimes he’d take her to Canterlot, which she would worry others wouldn’t be so accepting. But he reassured her that all he ever cares about is making her happy, to which she is very grateful.

However, one day, she wanted to take him somewhere else. The one thing that suddenly makes him nervous…

She wants him to meet her parents. Her mother Cookie Crumble, and her father Hondo Flanks, or Magnum to some. The two of them were in front of their doorstep, whilst Jim had never felt so nervous.

“Uh, Rarity?” asked Jim, “Are you sure about this? What if they don’t accept me?”

“Then it will be their loss.” Said Rarity, then looked at him and said “Jim, you are one of the sweetest stallion,… er, men, I’ve ever met. You have such a creative mind, you helped me manage my business, and you even stood up for me when Suri wanted to cause trouble, even identified the problem of why she was like this.”

“I just did the right thing.” Said Jim, then teased “That and I couldn’t stand such a beautiful face to frown.”

Rarity couldn’t help but giggle at that statement whilst blushing at the same time. She then gently knocked at the door. She waited for a few moments, but for some reason, they weren’t answering.

“Odd,” said Rarity, “I thought they were home. They did say that they wouldn’t go anywhere until next week.”

Jim then thought about something. Then it clicked as he had an idea.

“Let me try something.” Said Jim, “But…promise me you won’t get mad.”

“Get mad?” said Rarity in confusion.

Within a split second, Jim banged against the door very loudly, which shocked Rarity. But as shocked as she was when he yelled “This is the Police and Canterlot Royal Guard!! We have the entire place surrounded!! You come out of there with your hands up!!!”

“Jim!!” exclaimed Rarity. Until…

They heard loud banging and panicking, then the door immediately opened, causing two ponies, aka, Rarity’s parents, to quickly come out and raise their hands.

“Don’t arrest us, we surrender!!” said Cookie Crumble.

Until they noticed that there wasn’t any guards around, they looked sternly as Magnus said “Hey, what’s the big idea?!”

Then they saw Rarity, who had a surprised look, causing them to change their minds and hugged her.

“Rarity, good to see you.” Said Cookie Crumble as they broke the hug.

“What are you doing here?” said Magnus.

“Well for one I wanted to come visit.” Said Rarity. “And um…to introduce you to somepony I met.”

“Oooh, Rarity, why didn’t you tell us?” said Cookie Crumble. “Where is he?”

“You’re uh…looking at him.” Said Jim nervously.

The two of them looked at him surprised, but then they felt a bit uneasy.

“Um, honey?” said Cookie Crumble, “He’s not a stallion. He’s…”

“A hairless ape?” said Jim, “I get that a lot. Not to mention I’m the third human here, considering two others are here as well.”

“Oh yeah, Beau and Bucky.” Said Magnus, “Nice people.”

“Why didn’t you answer?” asked Rarity, “You always answer whenever I knock on the door.”

Suddenly, the two of them blushed a bit, with one of them trying to change the subject.

“Well, you see dear.” Said Cookie Crumble nervously.

“We were, well…” said Magnus.

“You two were having sex earlier.” Said Jim.

The three ponies looked in shock. Before Rarity could protest of how uncouth Jim sounded.

“It’s obvious really.” Said Jim, “Magnus’ belt wasn’t tightened properly, indicating that he had his pants down. Cookie Crumble’s shirt is buttoned up wrong in the wrong places, indicating that her shirt was open. Magnus smells like perfume, which is from his wife as he had his head in her breasts, and Cookie Crumble’s hair is a slight mess. That, and there happens to be a condom hanging from the left side of his belt.”

Magnus looked in shock and quickly tossed it away whilst Cookie quickly fixed her hair.

“Mother!! Father!!” said Rarity in disgust and embarrassment as she realized that they did just that. “Why would you do something so uncouth?!! What if Sweetie Belle heard you?!!”

“Well, we also like a little fun, don’t you know.” Said Magnus.

“And Sweetie Belle is visiting her friends today, so no harm done.” Said Cookie Crumble.

“Oh, my Celestia, this is so embarrassing.” Muttered Rarity.

“So uh, why don’t you come inside.” Said Magnus whilst a bit embarrassed, desperately wanting to change the subject.

“And you can tell us more about him.” Said Cookie Crumble with the same feeling, causing them to go inside.

Just before they got inside, Rarity stopped him and asked “However, did you know that it would work?”

“I saw this in a movie once.” Said Jim, “Works every time.”

“And their uh…private time?” asked Rarity whilst a bit disgusted.

“Simple really.” Said Jim, “I used a few deduction skills whilst I was reading and studying a lot of Sherlock Holmes stories.”

“Sherlock Holmes?” said Rarity in confusion.

“A famous detective who solves crime using proficiency with observation, deduction, forensic science and logical reasoning.” Said Jim, “And he also focuses on attention to detail like Shadow Spade.”

“You’ve read Shadow Spade?” said Rarity surprised.

“I read a bit last night before I went to bed shortly after I met you.” Said Rarity, “The two of you have a lot in common. No wonder you love those stories so much.”

Jim entered the room whilst Rarity was surprised. She couldn’t help but smile and entered last.

************************************************************************************************

Fifteen minutes later, tea had been served by Cookie Crumble and Magnus whilst Jim had told them his backstory.

“Oh, you poor dear.” Said Cookie Crumble after she served tea and sat down, “I couldn’t imagine what it would’ve been like if I had lost my parents like that.”

“Or died.” Said Magnus as he was also surprised, “I would’ve been traumatized if I had gone through an experience like that.”

“Still,” said Cookie, “We are just happy that you are alive.”

“Yeah, I’m actually really lucky.” Said Jim. “Though I don’t know what I’m the luckiest the most; that I’m alive, or that a beautiful gem found me and took me in when I had nowhere else to go.”

The parents were surprised by what he said, though he looked at Rarity and said “And by the way, the color of your eyes, sapphire, that’s my favorite gemstone.”

Rarity couldn’t help but blush and smile at the same time, whilst slowly held onto his hand.

“So,” said Magnus, “After you died, what happened next?”

“She took me in and tried to cool me down,” said Jim, “I was still feeling burnt after that whole crashing ordeal. Afterwards, she asked me to how I died, and was curious to know what a plane was.”

“A what?” said Cookie Crumbles as she and her husband were confused.

“Picture like a Zeppelin, but different.” Said Rarity as she took out a sketch pad, “This is what it looks like. He drew it, and such in great detail.”

They took a good look at the picture and were surprised to see what it looks like.

“Wow, now that’s a real work of art.” Said Magnus.

“You must’ve taken a lot of lessons in your youth.” Said Cookie Crumble.

“I did.” Said Jim, “I wasn’t really interested at first, but the more I did it, the better I got at it. Afterwards, Rarity hired me to work for her and I ended up drawing up a few designs that she was able to make. I even worked at the front of the store to help with the sales.”

“Well, that’s a first.” Said Magnus as he and Cookie were surprised.

“Really?” asked Jim in confusion.

“It’s just…Rarity never hires anyone to help work for her, not even when she overdoes it.” Said Cookie Crumble.

“Why is that always so surprising?” asked Rarity rhetorically.

“You’re always stubborn to accept any help.” Said Magnus, “That you didn’t want anyone to interrupt your, ‘creative genius’.”

“Really?” said Jim surprised..

“Oh, it’s true dear.” Said Cookie Crumble, “You wouldn’t believe how dedicated she is to her work. She always gets so frazzled, especially whenever she stresses she eats so many ice cream.”

Rarity blushed from embarrassment as she covered her eyes. However, she felt a hand on her leg, gaining her attention and saw it was you, reassuring her that everything is alright and that he’s not judging her, to which the latter couldn’t help but smile.

“Anyway,” said Jim, “Right as we continued with the boutique’s business, an old rival barged into her shop. I believe her name was Suri.”

“Oh no,” said Cookie in worry, “Don’t tell me she was there to cause trouble.”

“She was actually.” Said Rarity, “She still had the nerve to blame me for her losing the contest in Manehattan. But Silver stepped in and was able to resolve the difference between us.”

Jim looked at her slightly surprised. For she didn’t call him by his given name, but by his surname instead.

“Really?” said Magnus, “Wow that’s fortunate.”

“And that’s when the two of you confessed.” Asked Cookie.

“Indeed.” Said Rarity, “I gained a crush on him, and he truly is a gentle stallion. Er…gentleman.”

“Oh, that’s mighty sweet.” Said Cookie, “I hope you take good care of her, Silver.”

“After the way she saved me, how could I not?” said Jim. “I owe her for what she did for me. And I’ll always be grateful.”

“Mom, dad, I’m home!!”

They turned to the door and saw Sweetie Belle walking in.

“Sorry I’m late,” said Sweetie Belle, “The girls and I were…”

She then noticed Jim in the room and was surprised to see him.

“Oh, hi Jim.” Said Sweetie Belle. “What are you doing here?”

“Rarity brought me over to introduce me to her parents.” Said Jim. “Turns out they’re a fun bunch. Though they were sort of uncomfortable upon meeting me. But I managed to make them uncomfortable in return.”

“Really?” said Sweetie Belle surprised. “That’s a first. What did you do?”

Jim looked at the two with a sly smirk, making them nervous at the same time, with him saying “Our little secret.”

“Eh, okay.” Said Sweetie Belle after she shrugged her shoulders. But then she noticed how close Rarity and Jim were sitting, and asked surprised, “Wait, are you two…?”

“Er, yes. For a month now.” Said Rarity nervously.

Sweetie Belle couldn’t help but smirk and exclaimed “I knew it!! I knew you liked him!!”

Rarity blushed in embarrassment, whilst the parents were confused, with Jim whispering to them, “Long story.”

“Plus,” said Sweetie Belle as she held her arms behind her back with a smile, “I don’t mind Rarity going out with Jim, he’s actually really nice.”

She then had a very sly smile, which caused them to notice. “What?” asked Rarity.

“I’m just curious of how Spike is going to feel if he finds out his crush is going out with someone else.” Said Sweetie Belle teasingly. “I’d imagine he’d be very devastated.”

Jim was confused by this, whilst Rarity also realized this.

“Oh dear.” Muttered Rarity. Even though she didn’t like Sweetie Belle’s teasing jab, she realized that she was right.

“Who’s Spike?” asked Jim.

“Oh, Spike happens to be a dragon and assistant to Princess Twilight.” Said Magnus.

“Although…since the day he came to Ponyville, he had a crush on her.” Said Cookie Crumble.

“Crush as in childhood crush, or crush as in romantically?” asked Jim.

“The second one.” Said Rarity, which surprised Jim, “I could tell since the day he came to Ponyville. I may be a hardworking lady, but I am not oblivious to everything around me. Although…”

“What?” asked Jim.

“A while back before Spikey Wikey went to the dragon lands,” said Rarity, which baffled Jim that she would have a nickname for him, “Twilight’s husband told him of his flaws and that he shouldn’t look himself as a perfectionist. I even overheard him saying that he knows that Spike has a fantasy that I would fall in love with him.”

Everyone was surprised by this, even Sweetie Belle, for this was the first time she heard it. She got curious and asked “What did Beau actually say?”

“He said, quote, I know you have this fantasy where Rarity would finally fall in love with you, well I got news for you pal, it’s never going to happen, end quote.” Said Rarity.

“Ouch.” Said Sweetie Belle, knowing that would strike a nerve.

Jim thought about it and said “It could be worse. I mean if it came from you, it would’ve hurt twice as much. Though if it were thrice…”

“What?” said Rarity.

“You could say, quote, whilst I haven’t showed any adoration for Spike. Let’s be serious for a moment. He is a baby dragon. I for one, a fully grown mare, would never date him, end quote.” Said Jim.

The others were surprised by this, with Sweetie Belle saying “Wow, that would’ve really hurt.”

“But thankfully you’re not that kind of lady.” Said Jim, “If you were, you wouldn’t be the most generous mare I know. Or the mare I fell in love with.”

Rarity cooed and held Jim close, which touched the parents and Sweetie Belle rolled her eyes. But she couldn’t help but smile. For in a way, she liked Jim. For when he wasn’t busy during the month he was with Rarity, he would sometimes spend time with her and also treat her for some cake and milkshakes, which she greatly appreciated.

Soon afterwards, the two walked out, with Jim asking, “Why did you decide to call me Silver?”

“Well, I figured that since you’re staying here, and most wouldn’t get used to your name, I figured it would be lovely to call you Silver. For it fits your personality.”

“Huh, it kinda does, doesn’t it.” Said Jim, now Silver, who smiled and said “I accept. Silver it is.”

The two of them held one another close as they headed back home.

************************************************************************************************

A week had passed and Rarity decided to introduce Silver to the others.

“Will everyone else be there?” asked Silver.

“Of course,” said Rarity, “We do make arrangements for a get together every two weeks or a month, depending if none of us are busy.”

“Good to know.” Said Silver. “Although…I’m more concerned of how Spike is going to react about us being…you know.”

“I’m sure he’ll be fine.” Said Rarity. Although she noticed the look on his face whilst he was flexing his left eyebrow. “Okay, maybe he won’t be. But I’m sure he’ll find someone else.”

“Somehow I doubt that.” Said Silver.

Rarity knocked on the door, and then entered with Silver following suit.

“Twilight, hello?!” said Rarity.

Suddenly, popping from out of nowhere, Pinkie Pie appeared and shouted “Hi Rarity!!”

Rarity yelped a bit, with Silver holding her close to protect her just in case.

“Oooh,” said Pinkie Pie as she noticed Silver, “Looks like we have another human in the mix!! I knew my Pinkie Sense wasn’t playing tricks on me when we had a newcomer in town!!”

“Er, yes Pinkie.” Said Rarity as she cleared her throat, “Is Twilight around?”

“She and the others are waiting for you at the dining room.” Said Pinkie Pie. “Spike’s running a bit late, but he’ll get there soon. Now come on!!”

She darted off like a speeding bullet, which baffled Silver before slowly looking at Rarity.

“That would be Pinkie Pie.” Said Rarity, knowing what Silver was going to ask. “She happens to be this town’s party planner. She helps organizes parties and helps them celebrate their birthdays.”

“That must be a lot of work.” Said Silver as he and Rarity walked in.

“Oh, it is.” Said Rarity, “Makes me happy that I didn’t have a cutie mark in party planning, otherwise I’d stress myself to the bone.”

“I’d believe it.” Said Silver, “I mean you always work hard when it comes to your craft.”

“Indeed.” Said Rarity as she sighed a bit whilst trying to think of something else.

The two of them continued to walk down the hall and eventually made it to the dining room, where the rest of the Mane 6 were waiting and also dining down, with Starlight joining them. Though they weren’t the only ones, for both Beau and Bucky were also attending, seeing that Granny allowed Bucky and Applejack to go visit their friends.

“Rarity, you made it.” Said Twilight.

“Sorry I’m late Twilight.” Said Rarity, “We took a break from working at the shop. And…”

Rarity bit her lip whilst keeping her smile.

“Rarity?” asked Fluttershy.

“Okay, I cannot take it anymore.” Said Rarity excited, “I want all of you to meet Silver.”

Rarity pulled Silver and showed them, whilst at the same time, he nervously waved to them and said “Hi.”

When all of a sudden, he was pounced on by none other than Pinkie Pie. “Hi new friend!!” exclaimed Pinkie Pie.

“Uh, hi.” Said Silver whilst Pinkie got off of him whilst he moved.

“You must be Silver.” Said Twilight as she walked over to the third human, but with Beau by her side to make sure she doesn’t hurt herself. “It’s a pleasure to meet you. My name is Twilight Sparkle, the Princess of Friendship. This is my husband, Beau.”

“Never thought another human would arrive in Equestria.” Said Beau as he shook Silver’s hand. “Nice to meet you.”

“Likewise.” Said Silver after he shook Beau’s hand.

“And these are the rest of my friends,” said Rarity, “Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Starlight Glimmer.”

Everyone greeted Silver their own way, with Bucky walking up and said “My name’s Bucky. I’m Applejack’s boyfriend. Or in this case, special somepony.”

“Nice to meet you.” Said Silver.

“Rarity told us that she took you in after she found you.” Said Rainbow Dash.

“She did.” Said Silver, “And I’m really grateful for it. I wanted to meet you, but one, I was still getting used to my environment, and two, someone had to help look after the shop whilst Rarity is out.”

“Understandable.” Said Applejack, “Bucky felt the same way when he first got here, same with Beau.”

“And just know, you were really lucky.” Said Bucky.

“What do you mean?” asked a confused Jim.

“When I first met Twilight, I accidentally blurted out how horses can’t talk, and she ended up threatening me, considering I never met a pony species before.” Said Beau, which Twilight giggled nervously.

“And when I met Applejack, she thought I was a thief coming to take her apples, despite me putting it back and I apologized before she nearly punctured my lung with her lasso.” Said Bucky, which Applejack tilted her hat and blushed in embarrassment.

“I see.” Muttered Silver, as he was lucky he wasn’t through in those situations.

“Not to worry,” said Rarity, “He was quite gentle when we met. He even defended me when Suri came to the shop.”

“Suri?!” said the others surprised.

“Why in tarnation would she come all the way out here?” said a confused Applejack.

“Apparently she’s was still sour at her for losing in Manehattan,” said Silver, “That and that Coco spilled the beans on her.”

“And all of you should’ve seen it,” said Rarity, “Silver stood up to her and during their conversation, made her spill the beans on why she was like this.”

“Turns out she tried to be on top, just so that she could come out of her mother’s shadow.” Said Silver.

“Afterwards, I called upon some of my connections and asked Sassy Saddles at Canterlot to help Suri out.” Said Rarity. She blushed and said “And I developed a crush on him for standing up for me.”

Spike, at the same time, walked down the hall as he continued to do his chores, and he only had about a few days, so that was at least something. When all of a sudden, he heard…

“Rarity, are you saying that he’s your new special somepony?” Applejack said.

Spike stopped in his tracks and was shocked by what he heard. He instantly peaked through the door, and saw Silver standing next to Rarity and holding her hand, with the two of them being together.

“Yes, he is.” Said Rarity as she and Silver looked at one another, “And I couldn’t be any happier.”

Spike saw Rarity kiss him by the cheek, making him widen his eyes in horror. He quickly darted off and straight to the roof. He dropped on his knees and raised his hands and shouted.

“NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!”

Meanwhile, right below, the Mane 6 and the three humans, along with Starlight, were suddenly silent with widen eyes.

“What was that?” said a confused Starlight.

“Either that’s the screaming sound of somepony losing something, or somepony who’s screaming because he watched his crush now having someone else.” Said Pinkie Pie.

Beau then whispered “You know what, something tells me Spike overheard it and is now in compete denial that Rarity found someone else.”

“How’d you know that?” asked Twilight.

“Trust me, I know the wail anywhere.” Said Beau, “It’s the exact same one he had when he realized he ate his secret diamond stash until it was empty again.”

“Of course.” Said Twilight before she face palmed herself.

Spike eventually came down and tried to be as calm as possible.

“Heeey everyone.” Said Spike, trying to be as calm as possible as he did a fake smile whilst his left eye was twitching. “How’s it going?”

Everyone else, minus Bucky and Silver, had deadpanned stares at Spike, for they’ve seen that before.

“You’re jealous because Rarity actually found somepony she fell in love with, aren’t you.” Said Rainbow.

“I DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU’RE SAYING!!!” shouted Spike.

Though Fluttershy was startled and hid behind Pinkie Pie, some were surprised and some thought he was rude.

“Told you so.” Said Beau.

“Okay, you’ve made your point.” Said Twilight. Who then turned to Spike and said “Spike, don’t you still have your chores and grounding sentence to do.”

“I have…!!” said Spike before he was lifted up with magic and brought over to Twilight.

“Don’t make get the unhappy stick!!” threatened Twilight with a glare from her eyes.

Spike growled and said “Fine”, before leaving to continue with his chores.

The others were a bit concerned with this.

“Oh dear,” said Rarity, “I hope he doesn’t do something drastic.”

“Something tells me he will.” Said Bucky.

“What do y’all mean, Bucky?” asked Applejack.

“I’ve seen it before.” Said Bucky, “He’ll go into five different stages when one’s crush goes out with another.”

“Five stages?” said a confused Twilight.

“First stage, denial.” Said Beau.

“Second stage, anger.” Said Bucky.

“Stage 3, bargaining.” Said Silver.

“Stage 4, depression.” Said Beau.

“And stage 5, acceptance.” Said Bucky.

“And you know about this…how?” asked Starlight.

“Cause for one, we’re guys, duh.” Said Beau.

“Yeah, we’re not exactly that hard to read and aren’t that good at talking about our feelings.” Said Bucky.

“Plus, we would rather chew through glass, rather than admit we did anything stupid.” Said Silver.

The Mane 6 and Starlight were surprised by how the guys described themselves. Pinkie broke the ice and said “You know, surprisingly, he does have a good point.”

However, in Spike’s room, he was walking around and ranting.

“It’s gotta be a fluke, that’s right, it’s gotta be a fluke, there’s no way Rarity would accept something like him.” Said Spike, “I mean he’s a monkey, who’s probably too brainless and doesn’t care about anyone else’s feelings. Maybe after when no one’s looking, I’ll still have a chance with Rarity. That’s right.”

Spike continued to rant about Silver.

This is going to be awkward.

**************************************************************************************************

Stage 1: Denial

The next day, Rarity was busy with her work back at the shop, until she was seeing that she was out of supplies. Then she looked up and saw that she still has some time. At the same time, she walked past the drawing room, she took a peak and saw Silver working on the next few designs.

“I’ll be out for a bit, darling.” Said Rarity, “I’ll see you soon.”

“See you Rarity.” Said Silver as he looked at her. Who then smiled and said “And be safe out there.”

“I will.” Said Rarity as she returned the gesture.

Rarity soon left the house as she went to fetch a few supplies for her next line of fashion. She looked over a few items and selected her choice.

“Now then, onto the next.” Said Rarity.

When all of a sudden, Spike appeared from out of nowhere, with his arms behind his back.

“Hey there, Rarity.” Said Spike as he stood there. “Mind if I carried your things.”

“Why of course, Spikey-Wikey.” Said Rarity.

Within a short while, Rarity came back whilst Spike was carrying everything in his arms after an hour of shopping with Rarity.

“You can leave those over there, darling.” Said Rarity.

“Alright then,” said Spike as he placed them on the work table. “So, what are we…”

“Nice of you to come back.” Said Silver as he came out with a few glasses of lemonade. “I thought you might be thirsty so I took the liberty of making some.”

“Oh, Silver, you’re such an absolute darling.” Said Rarity before accepting her glass as she took a sip.

Spike saw Silver and growled a little. He walked away before slamming the door behind him. Silver noticed this and saw the whole ordeal. He shook his head, wondering if Spike will ever get over Rarity.

**************************************************************************************************

Stage 2: Anger

Two days later, Spike was munching on his cereal whilst blowing smoke out of his nose, showing that he wants to breathe fire on something.

At the same time, Beau helped Twilight sit down on her chair and continued to sit next to her. He looked at Spike and saw he was now in the second stage, which is anger. He had a deadpanned look and signaled Twilight to look at Spike, to which she did and was surprised to see the look on his face.

Twilight leaned to Beau and whispered “Stage two?”

“Stage two.” Whispered Beau. He then demonstrated it by saying “Hey Spike could you pass me the…silver?”

Spike growled and banged the table hard, smashing the spoon next to him before walking out, which shocked Twilight when she saw what Spike did. She looked at him with a flexed eyebrow and asked “Was that really necessary?”

“How else did you want me to show that he was at the second stage.” Said Beau.

“Touché.” Said Twilight as Beau helped feed her at the same time.

**************************************************************************************************

Stage 3: Bargaining

Silver, after he was done designing, decided to run errands for Rarity whilst getting a few materials for her by going gem hunting for her. He entered the cave and looked around and made an impressed whistle.

“Rarity wasn’t kidding about this place. If something like this existed in my world, most economies would skyrocket.” Said Silver, until he noticed the bats above him, which made him grimace and said “Minus the bats, that is.”

Silver looked around as he was looking for a few specific gems. He was able to pick them and placed a few of them in the baskets.

Silver suddenly spots something down at the cave, which catches his attention. He walked over and saw a specific gem…that was shaped like a heart.

“A heart shaped sapphire?” said Silver surprised. “Now that’s very rare. And the same-colored eyes as Rarity.”

He took a closer look and said “Wait…this is an Alpha sapphire. I heard Rarity telling me about it, how it’s so rare, that even a dragon would want to get their hands on it. And how it’s the most beautiful gem than any sapphires.”

You then thought about something. You’ve been going out with Rarity for some time. And suddenly you’re thinking about taking the next step. You then smiled…and made up your mind.

“I think it’s time I took the next step.” Said Silver, “And Rarity will love this.”

Silver secretly placed it away in his jacket so that no one would notice. Later that day, he was finished placing the gems in the basket.

“Now these are perfect.” Said Silver, “No doubt the next fashion like will look amazing with these.”

You were about to turn around, until you bumped into the last person you’d expect. Or in this case…a certain dragon.

“Spike?” said Silver whilst feeling a little surprised at the same time.

“Hey, Silver.” Said Spike, trying to act calm. “What brings you here?”

“I’m currently doing some gem hunting for Rarity, considering she’s preoccupied with a few clients today.”

“Really?” said Spike whilst his eye was secretly twitching. “That’s interesting, considering she always asks me.”

“Cut to the chase Spike, what do you want?” said Silver whilst he crossed his arms and knows what Spike was going to ask of him.

“Break up with Rarity.”

“What?” you asked, but also sounded a little mad.

Spike suddenly stood on his knees and begged.

“Please, break up with Rarity!!” said Spike, “I saw her first the day she came to Ponyville, and suddenly you came along and you somehow charmed her into liking you!! It’s not fair!!”

Silver’s left eye twitched at that, for did Spike actually ask him that.

“No.”

Spike looked at him shocked.

“I don’t know what you’re deal is, Spike.” Said Silver, “But I’ve known you for a while and from what Beau told me…it’s pathetic.”

“What?” said Spike as he looked ticked.

“Rarity made her choice on who she wants to date or be a relationship with.” Said Silver, “And last time I checked, she’s not your property, she’s her own pony, who’s old enough to make her own decisions. Besides, I would never, I repeat, never, break up with Rarity. Plus, there’s a very, huge difference between you and me, and no, it’s not because of our species.”

He leaned over and said his piece.

“I’m a fully grown adult, who’s also mature enough to be a gentleman, to treat a lady with respect, not take advantage of things, and I treat her like an actual mare. You on the other hand, are nothing but a spoilt manchild who did a lot more stalking, than follow her, as well as you having a childhood crush on her. And yes, she may have been generous to you, but she’s like that with everyone else in Ponyville. And plus, I owed her for taking me in when no one else did. We even worked together, and last time I checked, I actually have an extended education and actually chose to do something instead of being lazy.”

“Lazy?” said Spike as if he was insulted as he stood up, “Now see here…”

“Yeah, you saved the Crystal Empire, good for you.” Said Silver, “But if I remember correctly, you made a fool of yourself over there, as well as causing chaos in Canterlot. Rarity has already made up her mind, so get with the program.”

He picked up his basket backpack and walked out of the cave whilst saying. “Now if you’ll excuse me, my girlfriend is waiting for me at home, where we have an important order to fulfill, because we both, unlike you, have a real job where we can love and support one another.”

Silver walked away whilst Spike growled. But before Spike could say anything, Silver suddenly began to make a squeal sound, causing every bat to wake up and have their eyes on Spike, making them glare at him whilst flapping their wings. Thankfully, Silver was already out whilst Spike was running away like a madman and screaming in fear.

Silver rolled his eyes as he couldn’t believe Spike tried to convince him to break up with Rarity.

***************************************************************************************************

A few days later, Silver walked out of the house and took the garbage out and into an empty can outside. But just before he was about to enter.

“Hello there, handsome.”

Silver turned and saw a very light aquamarine unicorn mare. You realized this was Lyra. Rarity had told you about her a while ago, as she and another mare named Bonbon are very close. And from what Beau told you, she was also an old classmate of Twilight, the one who Twilight ignored when she went to study.

Silver was suddenly brought out of his thoughts as she approached him.

“What’s a handsome stud like yourself, doing in a place like this?” said Lyra as she was trying to seduce him.

Silver suddenly felt like he was backed into a corner as she was against him, with her muzzle close to his nose.

“What are you doing?” said Silver confusingly.

“Oh, can’t a pretty unicorn mare like myself fall in love with the most beautiful human in Ponyville?”

Silver then noticed something peek around the corner of the house, which was none other than a dragon tail. Silver then gave a deadpanned look and realized what was going on.

“Spike bribed and forced you to try to date me, isn’t he?”

“Oh, thank goodness.” Said Lyra in relief as someone finally caught on, “I was hoping someone would notice.”

“Oh, come on!!” shouted Spike as he was standing where everyone could see him.

“There you are, Lyra!!”

They turned and saw Bonbon walking over to her, and she didn’t look happy.

“What’s the big idea of going off like that?” asked Bonbon, “And trying to seduce a human, no less?”

“I’m sorry miss,” said Silver, gaining her attention, “But what’s your name?”

“My name is Bonbon,” said the latter, “I’m a friend of Lyra’s.”

“Pleasure.” Said Silver as he shook her hand. “Well, if you must know, Spike tried to bribe and force Lyra to seduce me so that I could be in a relationship with her, whilst at the same time, trying to convince me to break up with Rarity, despite me being in a relationship with her for almost two months now.”

“Spike tried to make you do what?!” exclaimed Lyra.

“He tried to make Lyra do what?!” said Bonbon as she was angry.

“Uuuuugh…” said Spike as he was in hot water.

Bonbon went over and within a split second, slapped Spike, then grabbed him, and threw him so hard, he flew halfway across town, making him yell in fear land into the lake. He slowly emerged from the water with a deadpanned expression and spat out a bit of water.

Both Lyra and Silver were surprised by this, with Bonbon dusting her hands.

“Wow.” Said Silver, “Nice throw.”

“Bonbon happens to be the reigning champion in Hoof Ball.” Said Lyra, “She has the best throwing arm in the team.”

“So, I noticed.” Said Silver. “Anyway, sorry for the trouble.”

“Not your fault,” said Bonbon, “Besides, Rarity talks about you a lot the last time I popped by for a dress order. You’re a good human.”

**************************************************************************************************

Later that day, Twilight and Beau had stopped by at Rarity’s house.

“I wonder what this is about?” asked Twilight as Beau made sure she was okay whilst escorting her.

“I don’t know, but whatever it’s about, it sounds serious.” Said Beau after he closed the door.

The two of them suddenly saw Silver, and he had a bit of a stern look.

“Whoa, what’s the matter with you?” said Beau.

“Twilight,” said Silver, “Could you please be so kind enough to put up a forcefield around the house, please.”

“Um…okay.” Said Twilight in confusion, but did what he asked. After the force field was up, she looked at Silver. “What’s this about?”

“Twilight?”

They turned and saw Rarity standing there, but also confused. “What are you doing here?”

“I called them here.” Said Silver. “Could you three wait in the living room, please.”

The three of them went to the living room, whilst Silver quickly looked out of the window, and saw Spike trying to get in, which made him shake his head, knowing that he would attempt to spy on them at the same time. Soon he went to the living room, where the others were seated.

“Silver, what is this about?” asked Rarity.

“It’s about Spike.” Said Silver as he walked over and sat at the arm of the couch.

“Oh boy, what did he do this time?” said Beau.

“Whilst Rarity was busy, I went to the Gem Cave to help gather the specific gems for the latest lines.” Said Silver.

“Which I’m thankful.” Said Rarity.

“Spike followed me and asked, no, he begged that I would break up with Rarity so that he could date her.”

“Spike tried to what?!” exclaimed Twilight as she and Beau was shocked.

“Spike wanted you to…why would he do such a thing?” said Rarity in concern.

“Because of his obsession with you,” said Silver, “Not to mention I keep telling him, you’re a pony that makes your own decisions, and he just doesn’t know when to take a hint either. And what makes matters worse, he even bribed and tried to force Lyra to seduce me so that I could break up with Rarity.”

“What?!!” exclaimed Beau. “Okay, I’m sorry, but this has gone too far!!”

“Indeed,” said Rarity, “I cannot believe Spike would try to make Silver do such a thing.”

Silver then remembered something. He remembered the heart shaped sapphire he found in the cave, and he wanted to make it official with Rarity when the time came. He couldn’t help but smile as he knew she would love it. And he was ready to take the next step. But then he knew Spike would do whatever it takes to ruin the proposal.

“We’ll need to corner Spike about this.” Said Twilight.

“Won’t work.” Said Beau, “Knowing him he’ll try to deny that he was responsible for it.”

Rarity then gasped and said “Then we’ll have to catch him in the act.”

“But the question is…how?” asked Twilight.

Silver then blinked, for he had an idea. Two ideas in fact. “I think I have an idea.”

The three of them looked at Silver, wondering what he has in mind. Suddenly, Pinkie popped from out of nowhere.

“Guys!!” shouted Pinkie, startling them.

“How did Pinkie Pie get in here?!” exclaimed Beau.

“It’s Pinkie Pie, don’t question it.” Said Twilight and Rarity.

“My Pinkie senses is going haywire, meaning a doozy is about to happen!!” said Pinkie.

“What kind of Doozie?” asked Twilight.

“Come on!!” shouted Pinkie as she grabbed them, “The others are already waiting!!”

Once again, they disappeared, whilst Spike was struggling to get inside, until the forcefield actually got turned off, Spike fell through the door. He noticed Rarity wasn’t around, then shouted “Dang it!!”

Within mere moments, Pinkie arrived at a nearby bush, with Rainbow, Fluttershy and Starlight in tow.

“Okay, Pinkie we’re here.” Said Rainbow impatiently, “Now what’s going on?”

Pinkie took a peak and squealed in excitement. “See for yourself!!”

They took a peak and they saw nearby one of the larger apple trees. And to their surprise, they saw both Bucky and Applejack on the hill. Applejack was sitting on what looked like a stump of sorts whilst Bucky was holding her hands and talking to her. Before they knew it, he ended up standing on his knees whilst he kept on talking to her.

Before they knew it…

“YEE-HAW!!!” exclaimed Applejack in excitement and tackled Bucky over whilst the two of them laughed at the same time.

“Uh, what’s going on?” asked a confused Rainbow.

Then they heard it.

“Of course, ah’ll marry y’all!!” said Applejack as the rest of the Apple Family also arrived to give their congrats to them.

This surprised them at the same time, causing all of them to go over to Applejack and Bucky to congratulate them as they were really happy for her. Silver on the other hand stood there for a few moments and thought about his own proposal. Then he looked at Rarity.

Yes…Yes, he can do it. He just needs the right moment. And he knows where to go first thing in the morning. But first thing’s first.

***********************************************************************************************

The next day in the afternoon, Silver then began to set everything up for the engagement as he had everything set up, with flowers, decorations and a ring that is in place.

“Perfect…” said Silver as he placed everything in order. “Now all I have to do is to get Rarity, and everything will be ready.”

Silver then walked out of the room to fetch Rarity, for he was ready to take the next step.

However, coming through the window, was none other than Spike and he had an angry look. Until what appeared to be a little devil of himself appeared.

“Come on Spike, sabotage the entire place.” Said his devil side, “Show them what happens when someone steals Rarity away from you. Frame him for something you didn’t do.”

Suddenly, an angel side of him appeared and said “Yes, he is right. You did everything for Rarity. Who gave Silver the right to interfere. So don’t stand there, just do it!!”

Both of them disappeared, with Spike looking back at the setup in his anger.

“I’ll show him.” Said Spike, “No one takes Rarity away from me.”

He then began to make a mess of things and began to make it look like Silver did it by placing one of his items. Then he saw a ring that was in place. He then smirked and walked on over and said “Now for the grand finale.”

He then took a bite out of the ring and enjoyed chewing onto it. He placed the destroyed ring back and then crawled out of the window. Then he began to sneak away.

“Heh, mission a…” said Spike before he was cut off as he bumped into someone.

Then he saw Rarity, as she seems to be surprised.

“Spike?” asked Rarity, “What are you doing here?”

Spike then decided to pretend to act innocent.

“Rarity, you’re not gonna believe this!!” said Spike, “Silver is trying to cheat on you with another mare, and he just sabotaged everything inside and your engagement!!”

“Is that right?” asked Rarity.

“That’s right.” Said Spike.

“Because from what it looks like,” said Rarity as she crossed her arms and was suddenly crossed, “You tried to convince Silver to break up with me, then tried to force Lyra of all ponies to try to seduce him so that he could break up with me, and then you sabotaged everything inside and ate the engagement ring he made for me.”

Spike widened his eyes in shock and pretended not to notice anything.

“I…I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Said Spike frantically.

“Oh, but we do.”

Spike turned around and to his shock, Twilight, Beau, and Silver were standing there, with Twilight revealing a spell that exposed Spike a handful of times. Spike was now panicking.

“I am very disappointed in you, Spike.” Said Twilight after she made the spell go away. “Not only did you attempt to try to convince him to break up with Rarity, but also tried to convince Lyra of all ponies to seduce him just so that he could break up with her on his own.”

“And now you have the gall to try and sabotage his wedding proposal, even when he already proposed to her this morning.” Said Beau.

“What?!” exclaimed Spike as Silver stood next to Rarity.

“That’s right.” Said Silver whilst Rarity showed him the engagement ring, which was none other than heart shaped Aqua Sapphire, the opposite of the fire ruby. “See, after I got the ring from Rarity.”

***********************************************************************************************

Silver was at the jewel shop, making the ring that he found at the cave that is suitable for Rarity. Then he suddenly made a new ring, one that was just plain, whilst the other one, the one he made specifically for Rarity, he carefully hid so that no one would find it.

“I was busy making the ring for Rarity at the jeweler’s shop, because the guy owed me a while back. But I knew you’d go behind our backs to do something like this. So, I secretly made a phony ring, whilst the actual ring I made for Rarity, I hid from the likes of you, so that you wouldn’t try anything stupid.”

***********************************************************************************************

“And I set the whole thing up in there, just to catch you in the act.” Said Silver.

“You, little!!” said Spike, “Rarity deserves someone who can actually care for her!! Someone who actually loves her!!”

“Which I do and I am!!” shouted Silver. “Besides, you could date anyone, and yet you have the gall to try to make her think I cheated on her, when I love her more than anyone else!!”

“And how do I know it’s not a fake?!!” shouted Spike.

“Enough!!”

Spike winced, for Twilight yelled at him. He looked at Twilight, and she was really disappointed like a mother is to their son.

“I don’t know what’s gotten into you Spike, but this has gone on long enough.” Said Twilight. “I don’t know what upsets me more; that you deliberately try to set up Silver, or that you actually thought this pathetic attempt would work. You’ve let your jealousy get the best of you Spike, and I am truly disappointed. I raised you better than this ever since I hatched you from the egg, and this is the thanks I get? Going behind my back, not helping me when things counted. And more importantly, as my husband would say; everypony knows that you have a fantasy where Rarity would fall in love with you, well it’s never going to happen, for what you have is not real love, it’s a simple childhood crush.”

“It is!!” said Spike.

“Is it really?” asked Beau, “Cause the way I see it, you deliberately insulted both me, as well as both mine and Twilight’s unborn child, and we’ve been in love after spending a month together, not to mention we’re also happily married with our child on the way. And if I remember correctly, a real man should know when not to act like a child when things don’t go his way.”

“Yeah, well…” said Spike before he was cut off.

“Spike!!”

Spike winced and slowly turned, for the voice came from none other than Rarity, who had her arms crossed and looked at him sternly. She walked over to him and then looked directly at him face to face.

“I knew you had a crush on me ever since you came to Ponyville, for even though I’m focused on my work, I am not that oblivious.” Said Rarity, which made Spike wince at that. “But let us be serious for a moment. You are younger than me, and you are the one who doesn’t know what true love is. I may have helped Silver, but I fell in love with him the moment I met him, but I just didn’t know how to say it. And when he defended me from Suri, what he did for me made me realize he is the one for me. And I am nopony else’s property, not even yours. I like him because he’s mature, he knows how to treat a lady with respect, and he accepts me for who I am. And it’s also clear you don’t know anything about the female types.”

Rarity stood back up whilst crossing her arms and said “And more importantly, I see you more as a little brother and not as someone…well…I would want to spend the rest of my life with. So, I’m sorry Spike, but my decision is final.”

Spike couldn’t help but tear up as his crush rejected him, causing him to run away in tears back to the castle. The others at the same time, were greatly concerned, though then again, he really needed to hear this.

“I hope we weren’t too hard on Spike.” Said Rarity in concern.

“He needed to hear this.” Said Beau, “I know Twilight wanted to be gentle with him, but sometimes one needs to have a little tough love before doing anything else.”

He then held Twilight close and said “And you should also take it easy. The last thing I want is for you to strain yourself before the baby comes.”

Twilight placed her hand on top of Beau’s as she said “I know.”

“And I’m glad I was able to propose to you in secret.” Said Silver as he held onto Rarity’s hand with the ring on top. “I’d hate to think that the very gem I worked on would get destroyed or damaged if I did.”

“And I am truly grateful that you did.” Said Rarity as she held him close before planting her lips onto his. “I’ll be in the shop to make sure nothing is damaged.”

Rarity left to check on the shop, however, Silver chose to follow her to make sure that she doesn’t do anything herself. However, a flyer suddenly appeared from out of nowhere, which caused him to see that it was a vacation resort to a place called Las Pegasus. You then realized that it would be a perfect place for the both of you to go, to get away from the recent madness that had just occurred.

************************************************************************************************

Stage 4: Depression

From within the castle, Spike was sitting alone in his room, crying, for he had no lost his chance with Rarity completely, and that Rarity and Twilight are made at him. He kept thinking he didn’t do anything wrong, but because of his boneheaded decisions, he refused to see it. Which is what Beau had been trying to tell him all along, but it was like talking to a brick wall whenever it comes to things like that.

Beau and Twilight were worried about Spike, as he had been in there for three hours now.

“Now I’m really worried.” Said Twilight whilst she and Beau were in the library, “Spike’s never been in there for so long.”

“Well, sometimes folks like him can’t get with reality when it comes to stuff like this.” Said Beau. “Not to mention it can hopefully get out of his weird habits.”

“Weird habits?” asked Twilight confusingly.

“Don’t tell him that I said this,” said Beau, “But a while back whilst I asked Starlight to make sure everything is clean, she spotted Spike hugging a blow-up doll of Rarity.”

“What?!” said Twilight as she reeled back in disgust, shock, and complete weirdness.

“I know, right. Even I was shocked to hear that.” Said Beau.

Twilight let out an exasperated groan whilst leaning against the chair and placed her hand over her forehead.

“Good job, Twilight, good job.” Muttered Twilight whilst Beau overheard her, “You could’ve taught Spike a little discipline, you could’ve taught him manners. And you could’ve taught him restraint. But no, you had to focus on your studies just to constantly trying to please your mentor and your friends.”

Beau couldn’t help but chuckle, whilst Twilight glared at him.

“Sorry, it’s just sort of ironic if anyone would hear you say that.” Said Beau.

“What do you mean?” asked a confused Twilight.

“Well, your friends, even your parents, Shining Armor and Cadence knows your social skills weren’t any good and that you barely taught Spike anything whilst you were focusing on your studies.” Said Beau, who also ended up having a worried look. “So naturally they’re worried that if you couldn’t raise Spike properly, how do they expect you to raise our daughter once she arrives?”

Now it was Twilight’s turn to be concerned as she slowly placed her hands onto her belly whilst also thinking about the baby at the same time.

“Will I be a good enough mother for Moonlight?” asked Twilight.

“Moonlight?” asked Beau confusingly.

“I had a dream last night.” Said Twilight, “And I was able to find a proper name for our daughter. But with everything happening in my life, as well as our friends. How can I expect to raise a child if something does happen?”

“Hey, I feel the same way.” Said Beau as he walked over to her and sat next to her, “I’m scared every day that I won’t be a good enough father for her either. She hasn’t arrived yet and already there’s nothing I wouldn’t do for her. And sometimes we need to do this the right way. Even if it looks like we can’t handle it. Also…I don’t think it’ll be a good idea for Pinkie to babysit.”

“Huh?” said a confused Twilight.

“She thought that babysitting would be easy, and it nearly turned into a disaster with the Cake Twins.” Said Beau, “And she claims she knows how to talk and work with kids, but they say the only way one experiences it, is to have one of your own. Or at least that’s what the old human saying was.”

“That’s weird.” Said Twilight.

“Not as weird as Spike having a blowup doll of Rarity.” Said Beau.

“Okay, you got me there.” Said Twilight.

“But back to the point,” said Beau, “I’m sure we’ll be able to figure this out together. As long as we don’t keep secrets from one another, or does what the other doesn’t know, then we’ll be fine.”

“Are you sure?” asked Twilight.

“Positive.” Said Beau before kissing Twilight by the forehead, making the Alicorn smile. “Also, Moonlight Sparkle? That’s a good name.”

“Thanks.” Said Twilight.

“And who’d thunk that it would be something where expecting mothers have a series of dreams that inspires the name for the foal as it tends to have some tie their special talent.”

Twilight looked at him in shock and said “That’s a personal private mare matter. How did you know that?”

“It doesn’t help for the fact that the so called personal and private information happens to be on a book that you have in the library.” Said Beau as he showed her the book.

Twilight widened her eyes in surprise and ended up giggling sheepishly.

“Seriously, you’ve got to learn to ask these things on your own and not through other people. Er, ponies.” Said Beau, “To quote a soldier from what I saw in a movie, experience outranks everything.”

Twilight groans at this and said to herself, “Why is it that everypony tends to say that?”

“Because it’s the truth?” said Beau, “As well as the term, honesty is the best policy. Huh, and also the first rule of friendship, no lies.”

She looked at him with a flexed eyebrow, “Did you make that up?”

“Maybe.” Said Beau playfully. “Now come on, stand up.”

“Huh?”

“Just do it.”

Twilight complied and stood up, allowing Beau to sit down, then gestured Twilight to sit on his lap, to which she complied, which in the end made her realized why he asked that. Causing her to smirk and wrapped her arms around him.

“Thanks Beau, I needed that talk.” Said Twilight, but then flicked him on the nose and made him yelp, “But also, it’s sort of your fault for adding that thought to my head about raising our daughter, so it’s a fifty/fifty kind of thing.”

“Eh, fair enough.” Said Beau as he wrapped his arms around her, but then he groped her breast, making her moan a bit. Then looked at him with a smirk and said “If I wasn’t pregnant right now, I’d say let’s have some fun in the bedroom.”

“So, we’ll just have to wait until then.” Said Beau playfully, “But then again, I can still do this.”

Beau kissed Twilight on the lips, to which the latter returned and enjoyed it.

************************************************************************************************

A week later, everyone was at the train station, with Silver and Rarity ready to depart.

“Are y’all sure ya have everything?” asked Applejack.

“Pff, of course Applejack, you know I never forget the essentials.” Said Rarity with a slight scoff.

“Be glad you didn’t pack in the kitchen sink.” Teased Silver, causing him to laugh and Rarity gasping at that remark.

“Silver!!” said Rarity as she slapped his shoulder, which caused the others to laugh as well, which Rarity couldn’t help but laugh as well.

However, after it died down, she was suddenly concerned.

“And I know I shouldn’t ask this but…how is Spike doing?” asked Rarity, “I haven’t heard from him in almost a week now.”

“Oh, he’s still sulking and being depressed in his room.” Said Beau.

“Why are you even concerned for him, after what he tried to do?” asked Rainbow Dash.

“Rainbow,” scolded Twilight, “Spike had a crush on Rarity since the two of us came to Ponyville.”

“And I did try to talk to him, but he’s just too stubborn and depressed to even listen to reason.” Said Silver.

“But it wasn’t even an actual love crush, it was a childhood crush.” Said Rainbow Dash.

“You mean the same way you had a crush on Daring Do?” asked Beau, which caused everyone to look at him confusingly. Beau then looked at Pinkie and said “Pinkie, mind putting that same pith helmet of Daring Do on Twilight’s head please?”

“Okie dokie.” Said Pinkie Pie as she put the helmet on Twilight, which confuses her.

“Oh, Daring Do,” said Beau as he was pretending to be Rainbow, “I love you. How I wish I could go on your adventures; I wish I could share the same passion as you. But I am not worthy of you. And I would love to be with you, but it’s a forbidden love.”

He then wrapped his arms around Twilight, “I love you; I love you; I love you; I love you.”

He then kissed Twilight a couple of times on the cheek, though she enjoyed it, she was still confused. The others were also confused, until Silver saw Rainbow blushing madly at this as if she was busted, which made him gasp.

“Oh my gosh,” said Silver, before exclaiming “You really did, didn’t you?!!”

Everyone saw the look on Rainbow’s face, causing them to laugh out loud at that.

“It’s not funny!!” shouted Rainbow.

“Next time, don’t try to sneak into the library after Twilight got the latest Daring Do book with an autographed poster on it.” Teased Beau.

“I thought I wondered why she was sneaking in there!!” exclaimed Starlight.

“All aboard!!” shouted the conductor, gaining their attention.

“Oh, we’d better get going.” Said Rarity, “We’ll see you soon!!”

“And we’ll be in time for the wedding too!!” said Silver as they boarded the train before the doors closed.

The trains then took off as all of them, everyone waved to them goodbye. Then they left whilst Rainbow grumbled.

“You know I’m gonna get back at you for this.” Grumbled Rainbow.

“Yeah you could,” said Beau, “But then again I don’t think my wife would like that you would put our daughter in danger.”

“Believe me, I wouldn’t.” said Twilight with a glare at Rainbow.

“Ugh, fine.” Said Rainbow as all of them left.

“In the meantime, Applejack and I still need to plan our wedding.” Said Bucky.

“That we do.” Said Applejack, “My great aunt Golden delicious and the rest of Granny’s family members is comin’ over to help things out.”

“Oh, I hope they like Bucky.” Said Fluttershy in concern.

“Oh, they sure do.” Said Applejack, “Ever since they heard Bucky savin Apple Bloom’s life, they were all over him. Even Big Mac and Granny Smith couldn’t stop fawning over him.”

“Yeah, which was weird.” Said Bucky, “Especially since Applejack’s grand aunty Applesauce kept eyeing me for some reason. Like I don’t know, like she wants to flirt with me or something.”

Applejack couldn’t help but chuckle at that. “She’s like that with every young stallion. Though when they first met you, they didn’t know what to think.”

“True,” said Bucky, “But I also love Goldy Delicious. She really has a knack for telling stories. I didn’t even know she knew that many family members. Come to think of it, I didn’t even know they had any more family members since Granny Smith’s Dad helped build the farm whilst Granny was responsible for helping the founding of Ponyville.”

“Oh, trust me, most of em were far and beyond tryin’ to find a home to establish.” Said Applejack.

“Although it would’ve helped a lot better if both sides didn’t constantly fight over who founded Ponyville instead of working together,” said Beau, “But as usual, Applejack and Rarity were too fat with pride to even realize that.”

Applejack was suddenly nose to nose with Beau and said “What’s that supposed to mean?”

“Need I remind you of that certain incident about who should get the award for Ponyville’s founding and building, considering Diamond Tiara and Apple Bloom were the ones that started the fight?” said Beau.

Applejack and the others were surprised by that, with Beau saying “Again, Spike blabbed the whole thing about it.”

Applejack groaned and said “That varmint really needs to learn to keep his mouth shut.”

“But then again, I won’t apologize for speaking the truth, considering all of you fought for something meaningless.”

“It wasn’t meaningless!!” said Applejack.

“No, he’s got a point.” Said Bucky, “It’s just a stupid award.”

“Just a stupid award?!” exclaimed Applejack. “Listen here, you…!!”

“Ah, before you say anything, let me finish.” Said Bucky. “Granny Smith told me that ever since she and her family moved here, they helped build their farm, and because of Stinking Rich, he was able to buy your produce and sell them, and was responsible for bringing more ponies in. And because of it, both sides were able to help build Ponyville to make it what it is today. And though yes, Stinking Rich’s building was where Rarity’s boutique was built, but before that, there were other buildings that stood in their place between them.”

He then held Applejack by the shoulders and looked directly at her in the eyes.

“The point, I’m making, Applejack,” said Bucky, “Is that buildings and ponies come and go, but the legacy they built and everything that they stood for will always remain. And no award can ever tell you that. Because it’s not the awards that make others remember you, it’s the deeds and the hard work they did by the sweat of their brows and the strengths of their backs alone, and their willingness to work together, that helped build their foundations. So, one day when Granny Smith may be gone, an award won’t help them remember her, it’s her deeds and hard work that help built it up and would ensure that their legacy and memory, even their stories would never be forgotten.”

Applejack was stunned by the speech Bucky gave, especially the others.

“And it’s because of pride, arrogance and ignorance that can make us forget that.” Said Bucky. “In other words, think before you act.”

Bucky then walked back to the farm, with the others looking at him. Everyone followed suit, with Twilight and Beau following behind.

“Wow, I never knew Bucky could talk to them about something like that.” Said Twilight.

“We humans have our moments.” Said Beau, “When Bucky and I last talked, he told me he takes Independence Day very seriously before his sister was born.”

“Independence day?” asked Twilight confusingly.

“Oh, you’re in for a treat for that bit of history.” Said Beau as he and Twilight walked whilst he also said, “Let me tell you a story about the founding of the United States of America.”

************************************************************************************************

Meanwhile, far away from Ponyville, at the train station of Las Pegasus, the train had finally reached its destination, allowing the passengers to disembark. And from among the crowd, both Rarity and Silver exited the train, whilst also carrying their luggage with them. Well, mostly the ones who volunteer to carry the luggage.

Rarity held Silver close whilst she said “After all the hard work we’ve done, a nice trip is just what we needed.”

Silver tried to control himself as he felt Rarity’s breast against his arm, and he swallowed and tried not to think about it.

“Yeah…me too.” Said Silver.

The two of them made their way towards the destination thanks to the map Rarity had. After a thirty-minute walk, with a few ponies carrying their luggage.

“Oh, we’re in luck.” Said Rarity, “The beach house isn’t too far away from here. All we have to do is take a left before we reach the city.”

“Before we get close enough to almost see it,” said Silver, “Would you be so kind enough to close your eyes? I want it to be surprise.”

Rarity nodded whilst the both of you strolled towards where you needed to go. You noticed how the wind was blowing past Rarity’s beautiful mane, which you couldn’t help but sigh at his lover.

“The breeze feels lovely, don’t you think, Silver?” asked Rarity before she winked at him.

“Simply divine…darling.” Teased Silver before he kissed her as a bonus.

Rarity giggled and pinched his cheek. “You’re so precious, darling.” Said Rarity whilst the two of them continued with their path.

The two of them continued to walk down the pathway, until Silver got behind Rarity and covered her eyes.

“We’re almost there. So no using your pretty eyes to peek.” Said Silver, which Rarity couldn’t help but giggle at this.

“Oh, I cannot wait to see what it looks like. It’s making me feel so giddy!!”

Silver couldn’t help but chuckle in her excitement. The two of you continued down the path and up ahead, you could see the beach house. Silver couldn’t help but smile, for it truly was the beach house that was on the ads, and that he’s thankful that they weren’t fakes.

“Alright Rares, we’re here.” Said Silver as he removed his hands from her eyes.

Rarity gasped at the sight of the beach house. For it was a beautiful two-story wooden beach house with a pool in the backyard.

“And the best part is, we’ve got the whole place to ourselves, no one disturbing us or anything.” Said Silver.

“How were you able to afford this?” asked Rarity.

“When I first started working with you, I was busy saving up, and the extras we got from the orders we had really helped.” Said Silver, “And after Spike’s, ahem, episode, I spotted a flyer that hinted about this place. Naturally, I was a bit skeptical, so I asked Princess Celestia if it was legit. Thankfully, she responded and told me that a few of her fellow governors went there for some private time, and they recommended it. Plus, she bought the property and had a few beach houses built in separate locations. And no one can touch it, considering that she has an army of lawyers to back it up.”

“This is amazing!!” said Rarity in excitement and in awe.

“Wait till you see the inside of the house.” Said Silver as the two of them made their way to the beach house.

After they got inside, the ponies who carried the bags placed them where Silver asked them, and after he tipped them, Silver and Rarity decided to explore the house.

“Oh, my darling,” said Rarity as she looked around, “This house is simply divine.”

“Thought you might like it.” Said Silver, he looked around and said “And strangely…this is what I wanted my isolated house looks like.”

Rarity then remembered the conversation they had months ago of why he wanted to die. She then saw him staring out of the window, deep in though. Feeling bad for him, she walked over and gently hugged him, gaining his attention.

“I know it was hard for you,” said Rarity as she held him close, “But you don’t have to be afraid anymore, Silver. I’m here with you. As are my friends and two of my friends’ husbands.”

You couldn’t help but chuckle and said “True that. At least I don’t have to worry about being the only human in Equestria anymore. Although…”

“What?” said Rarity as she looked at him.

“I was wondering how lucky our friends are.” Said Silver. “Beau and Twilight are a thing, same with Applejack and Bucky, and now there’s you and me. Now I’m wondering if the others will be just as lucky as we are.”

Silver then pretended to be dramatic by going, “Fate will one day cast it’s hand on both worlds, and before we know it, more humans will arrive as they are destined to be…”

Rarity couldn’t help but laugh at that jester, “Goodness, darling, I have no idea where that came from.”

“Honestly, me neither, I was just making stuff up.” Said Silver, causing the two of them to laugh even further.

“Alright then,” said Rarity as she clasped her hands together, “Now all we need to do is to unpack before we do anything else in our list of activities.”

“Right, let’s go to our room and unpack.” Said Silver.

“Indeed,” said Rarity as Silver helped her with her luggage, “As long we don’t do anything too exciting.”

“Something tells me it will happen somehow.” Said Silver.

************************************************************************************************

Suddenly, from the beach near the beach house, two individuals went into the water with a big splash. Within mere moments, Silver got out and shivered a bit. He figured if he and Rarity were in the water, both of them would eventually get used to it.

However, Rarity got up to the surface first and was now chillier, especially since she didn’t like her mane getting wet. Guess that explains why she would wear a shower cap. Then again, thankfully when he told her about the dangers of having dandruff, she changed her mind of washing her mane.

But right now, he was just focused on her whilst he was laughing and her pouting with a glare so bad, she could shatter glass with it.

“How…HOW DARE YOU!!” exclaimed Rarity whilst she was holding herself, “And I just had my beautiful mane done!!”

Silver couldn’t help but laugh, especially whilst she pouts and splashes him with water.

“Sorry, hun.” Said Silver as he couldn’t wipe the smile from his own face, “I just couldn’t resist. And look at the bright side, at least it’ll be easier to get used to the cold water.”

Rarity ended up smiling and shake her head a bit. “I don’t know why, but I can never stay mad at you for long, Silver.”

Rarity wrapped her arms around Silver’s neck before locking lips with him. Silver returned the gesture whilst he stroked her beautiful white fur coat. And before he knew it, he was groping onto one of her breasts through her bikini. This startled Rarity before she broke the kiss.

“D-Darling,” said Rarity as she covered herself and felt embarrassed at the same time, “What are you doing?”

“Giving you some…special attention.” Flirted Silver as he gently rubbed her chin, making her blush, “It’s one of my many ways of showing you how much I love you, Rarity. And I bet you’ve never been given some, “special treatment,” huh?”

“N-not like this…” answered Rarity as she felt a bit embarrassed at the same time. “It just feels so…uncouth, for even a proper lady like me.”

Silver then realized that this is Rarity’s first time. And she never felt this way before. So, he decided to take things slow.

“Aww, there’s no need to feel embarrassed about it, hun.” Said Silver as he tried to reassure her. “There comes a time that even a proper lady needs some special attention. Whether it’s from herself or her, how you say it, special somepony. But if you feel like it’s too soon, we can always stick to just kissing.”

However, when Rarity thought about the moment Silver groped her, she couldn’t help but realize that it felt…nice. Her blush began to deepen. For she would like to experience that kind of feeling.

“Actually…it does feel quite nice.” Admitted Rarity. “Just…promise to be gentle with them, please?”

“You have my word.” Said Silver whilst keeping his promise to Rarity.

After making that promise, Rarity slowly turns around and pressed her back against Silver’s chest. Silver slowly stroked both sides of her body and eventually made it to her E-Cup breasts and gently groped them. Once he did, he moved them in a slow circular motion, which caused Rarity to slightly moan whilst she lifted her head at the same time.

“That feels so…lovely.” Moaned Rarity.

Silver soon ended up massaging and caressing her body and her legs, making Rarity cooed from his touch. But as he gently stroked her horn, she yelped a little bit.

“C-careful, darling.” Said Rarity, “My horn is most sensitive.”

Silver didn’t know that, which caused him to try another tactic.

Silver rubbed her cheek, which she hummed and snuggled against him. Silver then moved his right hand at her bottom bikini and played with her marehood, which she moaned and slightly gasped at the same time. She squirmed a bit and tried to resist it, but as they say, alas, her body betrayed her.

“Ah…” moaned Rarity, “So uncouth. And yet…I want more.”

As Rarity was getting all hot and bothered, Silver continued to kiss her by the neck, which she continued to enjoy, especially since he was still groping her. However, Rarity suddenly grabbed Silver’s wrists, signaling him to stop.

“What do you say, we go back to shore first, Silver?” asked Rarity whilst she batted her eyes at him.

“With pleasure, my beloved Rarity.” Said Silver as he picked her up bridal style.

************************************************************************************************

Back at their beach house, later that night, Rarity landed back on the bed, with Silver close to her face as the two of them were looking at one another in the eyes. Silver then placed his lips against hers, to which she enjoyed the feeling of it.

Once that was done, Silver got up and slowly moved his manhood into her wet flower, making her moan as he enjoyed the feeling.

“I-I love you, Silver... so very much,” Rarity said, choked up with a smile.

“I love you too, Rarity,” replied Silver. She pulls him in for a hug and whispers in his ear.

“You can go ahead and move, darling. I’m ready...” she whispered. And so, he did. Silver started a slow and steady rhythm of pounding Rarity. She holds him in a warm embrace and emits cute moans of pleasure. The pain she had felt earlier had been replaced with utter bliss and pleasure whilst she wrapped her legs around his waist. Soon Silver was able to put in more speed and power into his thrusts. Her insides became more wet and slippery. Easy enough for him to slide in and out of her pussy. Rarity kept her eyes closed, moaning like crazy.

“T-That’s it darling...! You d-don’t have to b-be afraid... AH! Oh yes, master! Ravage me!” Rarity shrieked. Suddenly, his eyes gaze up at her horn. Silver knew how sensitive she is up there, but he couldn’t resist the urge to give it some love. So, he leaned forwards and stroked her horn and gave it a few good long licks.

Rarity squirmed and shrieked in utter pleasure, but managed to flash a small smile. Evidently, she didn’t mind the way Silver handled her. He thrusted deeper and harder inside of her wet passage and eventually grazed the tip of her womb with the tip of his manhood. Her juices leaked out of her delicate flower and wet slaps emitted throughout the room. The two of them were having the time of their lives right now.

Before Silver’s climax could be released, he stopped and switched positions with Rarity and placed her on top of him. Once again, Silver became entranced as he looked into her eyes, which shined like sapphires.

“Such beauty...” whispered Silver, causing Rarity to giggle seductively and stare down at him with her bedroom eyes.

“Such a handsome gentleman. You remembered about our bet from earlier. You must have been pretty close to cumming, weren’t you my darling Silver?” Rarity asked changing her tone to a sultry one. “Now, you just relax and let your mistress finish what we started.”

Silver nodded and felt Rarity start bouncing on top of you. Her soft hand rested on Silver’s chest while her other arm pressed against her bosoms just to tease him. She panted heavily with a deep shade of red coating her cheeks. Silver moaned from how deep he could feel his manhood reach inside parts of Rarity’s love tunnel that he never knew was there.

“H-Heavens to Celestia, Rarity! This feels so good!” groaned Silver whilst closing his eyes at the same time.

“Ah-ah... y-you s-shall refer to me a-as “Mistress Rarity,” she corrected through her panting.

“R-Right, my bad... “Mistress Rarity,” replied Silver.

“Good boy... good boy...” whispered Rarity before batting her eyes. Raising her hips, she then slams back down hard. Rarity makes it even kinkier when she grinds her hips back and forth while she massages her large breasts.

Watching her cadres her own breasts, Silver couldn’t resist anymore and moved her hands away so Silver could grope her yourself. Rarity bit her lower lip while keeping that seductive grin, suppressing her moans.

Silver continued to grope and knead her breasts, admiring how soft and firm they were. Silver felt like he could actually grope her for days. However, he ended up becoming bolder and massaged her butt cheeks. Despite her rough bouncing, Silver managed to kept his grip. Sadly, the more she bounced violently on him, the closer both their climaxes was getting.

“S-Silver my p-precious s-stud... Y-Your mistress h-here is going t-to...!” exclaimed Rarity when she could feel it coming.

“M-Me too, Mistress Rarity!!”

Before the two of them climaxed, both Silver and Rarity pressed their lips against one another whilst they were synced. The moment they did that, both Silver and Rarity climaxed within one another.

Once that was done, both of them were dizzy whilst Rarity collapsed on top of Silver, whilst the two of them were panting heavily at the same time. Both of them were completely worn out from their wild time.

“Rarity,” began Silver, “You do realize that we just…”

“Yes, I am well aware of that, Silver.” Said Rarity before she looked at him with a smile on her face. “And to be honest I really do not mind. If I am going to be a mother, I’ll gladly do so as long as I have you with me. I wouldn’t have done this if I wasn’t ready. But the question is, are you?”

Silver couldn’t help but smile and held her closely.

“I am.” Said Silver, “If you’re ready to be a mother, then I’m ready to step up as a father. I’ll be there for you and your baby through thick and thin. And frankly, I have no doubt being the generous one as you are, you’ll make a great mother.”

“And you’ll make a handsome father,” said Rarity before she paused to let out a yawn. “But for now, I believe it’s time for me to have my beauty sleep. Have a good night, Silver.”

Rarity nuzzled against his face and said, “I love you, my darling.”

“I love you too, Rarity.” Said Silver before yawning himself. He was able to use what strength he had to cover the blanket on both of them.

Once that was done, the two of them were fast asleep, as nothing could be heard, but the sound of crashing waves. In time, a new chapter of their lives will begin.
