The Indomitable Human Spirit

One door broke, and another one fixed

Aaron inspected the damage to Rarity’s front door. Rarity looked at Aaron with frustration and waited for him to explain how bad the damage was. Aaron sighed and said, “Well damn, it looks like I kicked the door hard enough to rip out the hinges and destroy the wood holding the hinges.”

“Really, you don’t say.”

“Look, I am sorry for destroying your front door. However, Celestia would be embarrassed and laughed at if I had not done something. I’ll gladly accept that pain if it saves someone else's pain.”

“I am fine with that explanation, but you did some very substantial damage to my house, like some ruffian.”

“Look, I can tear down the wood frame to the front door and paint it, buy new hinges, and fix the door itself.”

Rarity thought about it briefly and said, “Fine, but it needs to look the same as it did.”

“Fair enough. It will look the same. When I’m done with it.”

Rarity nodded and smelled something burning. She ran inside, and Aaron went to Sweet Apple Acres. Aaron saw Apple Bloom working. Aaron asked, “Hey, Apple Bloom, have you seen your sister or brother? I need to borrow several tools if possible.”

“My sis is in the barn working on cleaning it up. Just knock before you enter, Anon.”

“Cool, thanks, Lil Bloom.”

Aaron walked over to the barn, knocked on the door, and heard someone stumbling around. That is when Apple Jack opened the door, peeking through her messy hair and head. Aaron asked, “Yall right, you seen better days.”

“Oh, yeah, do not worry about it, Anon, what ya need.”

“I need an Axe, a saw, a hammer, and a wood carver. Then some nails and a measuring tape.”

Apple Jack closed the door, and Aaron heard groans and moans as she did. Apple Jack opened the door and handed a basket and tools covered in something wet and sticky. Aaron thanked Apple Jack and walked away faster than usual. Aaron returned to Rarity’s house, removed the broken door frame, and slowly worked on the hinges.

———————Couple of Hours later——————-

Aaron was dragging a log slab back from the Ever-free forest with his shirt off. Rarity was too busy with her fashion, and Sweetie Belle followed Aaron, complaining about Rarity’s absence and arrogant attitude towards her. Aaron said, “Sweetie Belle, your sister is a busy anthro trying to make a living. Now I know that it is frustrating because you want to help her out or want to spend time with her. Nevertheless, remember that although this world differs from mine, it still runs on money.”

“I just wish she would make time for me, that is all.”

“I understand my brothers were the same way as well.”

“You had brothers, were they older or younger?”

“They were older and real pieces of work. That is why our father left me with most of his tasks in his will.”

“WOW, what is a will?”

“It is something written or told to the family members of what they get when the member passes away.”

“What were your tasks in your father’s will?”

“Nothing too difficult, I assure you.”

Aaron put safety glasses on himself and Sweetie Belle, who helped him after measuring the door frame and the log slab. He took a pencil and marked up the log slab. Rarity left her house and saw Aaron shirtless, sawing parts of the log slab. Rarity was enamored with his muscles, and he started blushing. Sweetie Belle noted Rarity’s deepening blush, smiled smugly at her, and then tapped Aaron’s shoulder to get him to stop. Sweetie Belle gestured for Aaron to bend down. He did, and Sweetie Belle whispered something into his ear, and Aaron said, “Oh really. That’s interesting. I’ll see what happens if that works.”

Aaron walked over to Rarity. As he did, the muscles bent and flexed in a way that heated Rarity’s cheeks more than she would like to admit. Aaron said, “Sisterhood Social.”

“Eh, what, darling?”

“Sweetie Belle wants you to take her to the Sisterhood Social.”

“You mean Sisterhooves Social, but I do not know Anon. That is pretty tough with how my schedule is going.”

“Rarity, if you don’t do this, are you positive you can handle the situation you’ll get yourself in.”

“And what situation is that?”

“The regret of not being the fun-loving Sister I know you can be.”

“What?”

“Now, I am not saying you should be fun-loving all the time, but do it for your family and if not that yourself. Because it gives good karma if not makes you feel better.”

Rarity, stunned silence and an expression of disinterest turned around and headed back to her home to return to work. Sweetie Belle exclaimed, “Well, that didn’t work.”

“Settle down, young mini Belle; I am a master of the manipulation arts.”

“Mini?”

“It is because you are still a kid and not an adult yet.”

“Oh.”

Aaron returned to sawing the slab and painted it white like the original door frame. Aaron put on his shirt and saw Sweetie Belle sitting in the front yard looking at flowers. Aaron asked, “Want to go get some Ice cream?”

“Really? I guess, but can I bring Apple Bloom and Scootaloo?”

Aaron rolled his eyes and said, “Sure. However, I am not doing triple scoops. I will allow double, and that is it.”

Sweetie Belle ran off to get her friends. Aaron stood there waiting, and Rarity stepped out and asked, “Where do you think you are going? My door isn’t done?”

“It will get done, trust me. It was lunchtime, and I was going to grab a bite. You want to join in.”

“Where are you going?”

“Sugar cube corner, oh wait, can you handle that none fancy place, miss no fun.”

“Miss No Fun! I’ll have you know, I am plenty of fun.”

Aaron raised his eyebrow and smiled, saying, “Sure you are.”

“I am, and if I have to prove it, I will do the Sisterhooves Social.”

“Good to know because your door will be done after lunch. I am just waiting for the paint to dry, and then I’ll nail it in and put the hinges in place, and your door is as good as finished.”

“Good. Now I was wondering if you and Flutter Shy are a thing?”

“What are you talking about?”

“I heard some juicy talk about you forcing Flutter Shy to be your cuddles buddy.”

Aaron, blushing, said, “It was an accident, and to be honest, I did not even know too, tell it was too late. Plus, it could have been anyone who was there. It just happened to be Flutter Shy who was there.”

“True, but Twilight, Apple Jack, Rainbow Dash, and Princesses were there, and you grabbed Flutter Shy out of them.”

“I was on the couch and passed out; the only one closest was Flutter Shy, from what Luna told me.”

Aaron, done with the conversation, saw Sweetie Belle and her friends head over, and Rarity followed her sister and friends. Aaron turned around and looked at the third coat of paint, touching it, nodded, and then moved to join the group.

Aaron sat at the table with Rarity and the other younger girls. Rarity ordered her food, and Aaron got Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, and Apple Bloom ice cream. Aaron sat at the table quietly, watching the anthros out the window. Rarity watched Aaron and asked, “Why are you always getting into trouble?”

“What do you mean?”

“You always seem to want to fight things and often push yourself to do things that get you into trouble.”

“If you are talking about the fight against Discord and Nightmare Night, I would love to hear how you handle fighting against villains of the week.”

“What is that supposed to mean?”

“Nothing, just forget about it.”

“Where is Pinkie? I ordered twenty minutes ago.”

“You need to have patience, Rarity. I get you are hungry and probably want to return to work, but speeding through work will lower the quality and craftsmanship.”

“WOW, Anon, are we showing that heart on your sleeve? Color me surprised. I thought you were a brute when you fought Discord and broke my front door.”

Pinkie Pie appeared next to Rarity, looked at Aaron, and asked, “So after getting with Flutter Shy, now you’re trying to get with Rarity, I see.”

“Oh, nothing like that, I assure you, Pinkie. I was fixing the broken front door to Rarity’s home.”

“Oh, I know. I was joking, Anon. Can I touch your shirt?”

“I guess, but why do you want to touch my shirt?”

“I wanted to see if your boyfriend material.”

Aaron sat in place expressionless, and as Pinkie touched Aaron all over his shoulders, when she realized Rarity and the others were not watching Pinkie groped Aaron’s crotch. Aaron looked at Pinkie Pie and noticed a smile but a level of lust behind it. Aaron watched Pinkie go back to the front counter, and she pulled out two cherries, popped them into her mouth, and closed it; she opened her mouth and stuck her tongue out, and the two cherries were still connected, but both cherries had knots going down to each stem.

Aaron felt the heat move from his lower stomach and up to his throat. Aaron got up quickly, ran out the door, and fell to his knees before any of the girls went to him. Aaron shot off lightning from his mouth. He was still holding his chest, and after a moment of calm, he slammed his fist into his chest, and fire and smoke came out in a burp.

Pinkie Pie and Rarity came out and watched the electricity, and that’s when Rarity asked, “How did this happen?”

“I think I did it.”

“How?”

“Well, Anon was watching me, and then I showed him my knot-tying skills with my tongue, and he ran out here.”

“How did you make it look Pinkie.”

“Very sexual, of course.”

Rarity thought about it and asked, “Pinkie, did you see Anon shoot that flame on Nightmare Night?”

“I did. He watched Celestia to ensure the new stretch latex pants were on. But before the latex went from see-through to black, He was still staring. Honestly, his eyes lit up with a flame. It was fascinating.”

“Wait, Anon watched the latex rip before the new ones were on. Did you get a good look at Celestia by any chance?”

“Nope, I was on the other side with Apple Jack, but farther away.”

“I will head to Twilights, ensure Anon finishes his promise and Sweetie Belle doesn’t burn my house down.”

“Roger, Rarity.”

Rarity walked away and headed to Twilight's library. Aaron got back up, but his expression was unreadable. Aaron said, “Sweetie Belle, go hang out with your friends at Apple Bloom's tree house.”

“Ok, Anon, what are you going to do?”

“I will talk to Pinkie briefly and then finish my promise to your sister.”

“OK, bye.”

Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom, and Scootaloo left, and Aaron moved Pinkie into the shop as they walked away. Then, as she was about to hop into place, Aaron picked her up and moved her to the upstairs area, telling her they were both in her room. Aaron closed the bedroom and pressed Pinkie into her door, holding her arms. Aaron, breathing heavily, said, “For fuck sake, stop with the teasing. I’m fighting a battle that’s rearing me to go.”

“What are you talking about.”

“Pinkie, I am going to do this one thing for you, and if you tell anybody or any of your friends, I’ll break you in the worst way possible, got it.”

“I don’t even know what you are talking-“

Pinkie Pie was shut up with Aaron’s lips on hers, and the taste of rock candy and cotton candy filled Aaron’s mouth. Pinkie Pie let out a moan of pleasure as her tongue and Aaron’s tongue wrestled for dominance. Aaron pulled back on Pinkie, who whimpered and gave a frown. Aaron looked down with his eyes closed, and released Pinkie Pie, and relaxed. Aaron fell to his butt and, still breathing heavily, said, “I might need another one soon because I find cotton candy enticing.”

Pinkie Pie giggled and replied, “Well, Morning Wood, I enjoyed the French kiss. Why not another one for good luck.”

Aaron tried to hold himself back, but he was lip-locked against his will, and as Pinkie plunged her tongue into his mouth, Aaron did the same. Aaron went with the feeling and felt Pinkie’s hand in his pants. Aaron pulled back and said, “That is my no-no square, Pinkie. If I don’t want you there, stay away from there.”

“Oh, please, just a quick handy, that is all.”

“Nope, I’m going to finish Rarity’s front door now. I’ve already spent too much time here instead of working.”

Aaron left out the bedroom door, and Pinkie Pie followed. Aaron made it to the shop's front door, and Pinkie Pie, with loving eyes, waved at Aaron. Aaron sighed and waved back, then walked to the dried door frame. Aaron picked it up and placed it in the spot. Aaron started hammering in the nails to the door frame.

Aaron finished and inspected his work, and nodding in approval, he walked over to Twilight’s home. Aaron walked into the front door and saw a Twilight reading. Aaron walked over and sat at the table. Twilight got up and asked, “So, Anon, did you finish the door to Rarity’s house?”

“Yeah, I hope Rarity likes the “

Aaron watched Twilight as she walked over to a book pile, and instead of taking a knee, she lowered her waist to the point that her skirt was doing nothing to hide her thong that was given to her. Aaron watched and noticed Twilight’s red, blushing face. Aaron stood up and walked out the door. The heat, in a gradual manner, started coming back.

Aaron walked to Flutter Shy’s cottage and knocked on her door. Flutter Shy opened it and saw Aaron, and before she could ask, Aaron spoke, “Can I stay with you for a while only until Twilight stops her bullshit.”

“Oh, of course, you can; just be careful around Angel Bunny. He gets cranky when another anthro is in the room with him.”

“Cool, thank you, Butterfly; honestly, I could use the rest.”

“Butterfly?”

“What I thought it fit you perfectly, with the butterflies as a cutie mark and whatnot.”

“Oh, it is just that it was so sweet that it caught me off guard, you see.”

“If you want, you can call me thorn if you want to call me by a nickname.”

“Do I have to? What if I called you woody as a playful gesture?”

“All right, but only when it is just us ok.”

“Got it, Woody.”

———————-Several weeks later———————

Twilight walked over to Flutter Shy’s cottage; when she got there, she saw Aaron wrestling Flutter Shy’s bear. Aaron's shirt was off on the fence, and Aaron, sweaty, was breathing heavily and pushing himself to the absolute limit. Twilight was about to say something, and her mouth was covered; she looked over her shoulder and saw Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Apple Jack, Pinkie Pie, and Flutter Shy watching with gazes of want and desire. Aaron finally pined the bear only to be knocked back; he got back up and said, “You will take this damn pill, Barry, even if I have to force it down your throat!”

The bear roared in anger and frustrated defiance. Aaron stared down Barry and the bear doing the same. Aaron looked behind Barry in stunned shock and exclaimed, “FLUTTER SHY WATCH OUT!” Barry turned around and looked only to find no anthro there. He turned around, and Aaron was gone. That is when Aaron shoved his hand into the bear's mouth, and before Barry was about to bite down, Aaron said, “The pills in that hand, so go ahead, take my hand, but you are still taking the medicine, Barry. Plus, consider how disappointed Butterfly will be when my hand is gone and I have a bloody stump.”

Barry’s eyes widened in realization and relaxed his jaw. Aaron dropped the fish with the medicine down the bear’s throat. Aaron pulled his well-lubricated saliva hand. Aaron grabbed Flutter Shy’s garden hose and shot some water into Barry’s mouth to help the medicine and fish go down. Aaron splashed himself with water and shot some off at his saliva-covered hand.

Aaron looked at Barry, who was tapping his nose and stomach. Aaron knew what the bear was asking for, so he rubbed Barry’s nose and belly. Barry growled in happiness and laid on his back. Twilight blushed and saw Flutter Shy walk up and whisper something into Aaron’s ear. As she did, he turned around and saw the other girls eyeing him like a snack.

Aaron stood up, walked over to the fence, and put on his shirt. Twilight blushed and asked, “Anon, how long do you plan to stay at Flutter Shy’s Cottage?”

“Until you stop trying to take advantage of me and trying to treat me like a beast with two brain cells.”

“What?”

“You do not think I don’t know what you were doing several weeks back when I returned to the library. You were wearing what exactly?”

“A mini skirt and a thong.”

“Right, and instead of taking a knee and trying not to show your ass, you did what?”

“I bent over, showing my ass and thong.”

Aaron moved closer to Twilight so as not to embarrass her in front of her friends and whispered, “Right again, you bent over showing your ass, and I have standards Twilight. I’m not some savage that only wants food and fuck.”

“Really!”

“Yeah, and Twilight, I love you and your friends, but you need to understand that I am not a fan of being treated like an idiot and a fool.”

“Haha, how long have you known.”

“Luna told me a week after the fight with Discord. I will give you another chance, but I would be grateful if you could treat me like a friend, not a burden or child needing help. Got it?”

“Ok, fine, but at least come over to learn more stuff.”

Aaron, throwing a flirt at Twilight, said, “Oh, I will come, and hopefully you will too.”

Twilight was confused for a bit, and then it clicked. She blushed, and Aaron said, “Relax, Twilight, I am only joking with you.”

Twilight nodded, and as Aaron turned around, she looked away and frowned, wanting Aaron to be hers. Aaron walked over to the rest of the group with their animals. Aaron asked, “You girls having a play date, like a pet play date?”

Rainbow Dash responded, “They have a pet play date, and honestly, I wanted a pet, but-… I got it. Why don’t we hold a pet competition to see which pet is the most awesome for me?”

Aaron sighed and replied, “First off, that is very irresponsible and clearly animal cruelty; secondly, why a competition? Why not take a look at your schedule for work and your usual routine to see if you need a pe-“

Rainbow Dash covered Aaron’s mouth with a finger to silence him and then looked at Flutter Shy for help with the competition. Flutter Shy was about to say something, but she nodded in agreement out of her shyness and not wanting to hurt Rainbow Dash’s feelings. Aaron, in an expressionless manner, held his arms up and walked away, and said, “Fuck it, this will be a lesson in how you should treat animals.”

Aaron walked back to Twilight, who was hanging back with her owl. Aaron hung next to Twilight and asked, “So, the owl, huh? I admit it looks good on you; next is the wizard staff, and I’d say you looked like a Sage of great knowledge.”

“Well, thank you. I saw him in the Library and trained him to work with me in the library when I wanted to do night reading.”

“Neat, you are feeding him proper food, right?”

“What do you mean by like the owl pellets that I buy from Flutter Shy?”

“Oh, good, at least you take care of your animal.”

“What about you? Are you going to get a pet to join the group?”

“I don’t have a preference, honestly; if anything, I consider myself a pet owner of all pets.”

“What does that mean?”

“I treat all the animals with the love they deserve, not until I find the one that truly understands me.”

“Wow, very altruistic, Anon.”

Aaron watched as Rainbow Dash lined up all the animals she wanted, and Twilight noticed something and backed up a bit to take a look at Aaron’s substantial ass and legs. While Aaron was distracted the other girls watched other than Flutter Shy and Rainbow Dash in the competition. Rainbow Dash eliminated several animals, and Flutter Shy and Aaron walked over to them and comforted them. Flutter Shy noticed the other girls and giggled. Aaron heard the giggles and asked, “What is so funny?” As soon as Aaron turned his head to look at the others, they watched the competition with intensity as if Aaron was not even there.

Aaron stood up and walked away with the rest of the pets to take them back to their respective pens and came back and stood under a tree, watching the group from far away, and as he looked, he took note of each ass from Twilight, Rarity, Apple Jack, Pinkie Pie, Flutter Shy, and Rainbow Dash.

Aaron, in his thoughts, “Twilight has a nice tight-looking ass, and with the thong she was wearing, she could get me going. Rarity albeit is off limits due to the agreement with Spike, she does have a nice ass with a little bit of fat, definitely would of loved to see it clap, but a promise is a promise. Apple Jack has the ass of a girl who squats, and it shows god if I could rip into her, I’d be a villain. Pinkie Pie is the opposite spectrum of Apple Jack. If she squats, Pinkie Pie eats sweets to increase her ass’s jiggle factor, and honestly, if I stared for too long, I am positive I’d be hypnotized. Rainbow Dash has an athletic track body, and sadly, she has no ass; if she worked her glutes more and ate more sweets, her rating would go up. Flutter Shy, her personality is a gold medal, and honestly, I never see her eat sweets, but she’s got an ass that I’d only dream of eating out. Wait, what about the Princess's asses. I mean, Celestia is 10/10. She is a goddess, from what Twilight has told me, and Luna from the Dreamland has that plump yet firm ass. Can I ask to grope all of their asses for a better rating? Good question for later.”

While Aaron was standing under the tree staring into space, Pinkie, Twilight, and Apple Jack stood before Aaron, trying to get his attention. Twilight said, “It seems Anon is deep in thought or sleeping with his eyes opened.”

Pinkie smiled and said, “He could be rating our butts and wondering if he was allowed to grope our butts.”

Apple Jack rolled her eyes and retorted, “Not sure if yer joking or tellin' the truth?”

Twilight, confused, said, “Yeah, Pinkie, how could you be so sure?”

Pinkie put her ear to Aaron’s head, and he was still in deep thought and gestured to get closer to her. As Twilight and Apple Jack got closer, she said, “If you get Anon in a heated situation, he will make out with you, and I know from experience. Several weeks back, Anon entered the shop with Rarity and her sister and her friends, and I made him heated enough for him to drag me to my room and held me against my door and sucked face with me, not once but twice.”

Twilight and Apple Jack, interested in the information, thought about the Nightmare Night situation, and it all clicked. Twilight said out loud, “What did Anon see to make him shoot flames of that level?”

“Ya know, I saw the moment when Anon watched the latex pants rip, and from my point he musta seen all of it.”

“What do you mean, Apple Jack?”

“Anon saw Princess Celestia’s panties and probably the stuff underneath.”

“That would make the most sense.”

Aaron still in thought, “So Twilight and Apple Jack are 7/10 and 8.5/10. Rarity and Luna are both 8/10. Pinkie Pie and Flutter Shy are 9.5/10. Celestia is 10/10, of course, and in last place is Rainbow Dash with a flat ass 4.5/10. I know these are probably not very accurate, but I’ve always been an ass man, so I feel like I have a fair rating when it comes to asses. I also feel like I’m missing something here.”

All the other girls were sitting in a circle, talking about random stuff and waiting for Aaron to leave his deep thoughts. Rainbow Dash impatiently said, “Why are we waiting for Anon here? He’s holding back the competition, and it’s pissing me off.”

Twilight replied, “Because we have questions for Anon about Nightmare Night, and he talks about being uncomfortable with that heat.”

Aaron came out of his thoughts and saw Twilight, Apple Jack, Pinkie Pie, Flutter Shy, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash all standing around him and staring him down with a fury. Aaron asked, “What?”

Twilight replied, “When you shot flame out your mouth on Nightmare Night, was it because you saw something you should not have seen?”

“What are you talking about?”

“Just answer honestly, Sugar.”

Aaron breathed in and sighed, then said, “Short answer, yes, long answer, I would like to say that I had to watch to make sure Luna got the latex pants on before the rip, and by the time Luna had gone up with the pants I could see things that made my chest heat hurt with the power of a sun.”

Rainbow Dash, confused, asked, “What did you see?”

Aaron, with a thousand-yard stare, responded, “The ass of a goddess and the lips you could only imagine.”

Twilight looked at Aaron, and before he began speaking again, he fell to his knees and shot lightning and flame from his mouth. The girls went to Aaron and patted his back in worry. Aaron was coughing electric sparks and white smoke.

Twilight asked, “When did you get electricity, Anon?”

In heavy breaths, Aaron said, “w—-when Rainbow D——Dash hit me with l——lightning.”

Twilight replied, “How do we fix this?”

Aaron gestured for Twilight to get closer, and as she did, Aaron grabbed her and kissed her like a man trying to breathe life into the drowning victim. Aaron forced Twilight's tongue out of her comfort zone and wrestled with it. Aaron pulled back and as he did he pulled in as much oxygen as possible. Twilight, flustered and in a confused daze, fell backward and, in a spiraling confusion, started sputtering. Aaron stood up, looked at the other girls, and said, “That’s how it’s fixed.”

Apple Jack asked, “How is Pinkie involved with this?”

“What are you talking about?”

“Pinkie told us you smashed faces several weeks ago.”

“That’s because she grabbed my crotch and showed how good she was at knot tying with…her tongue. I could not hold back for much longer.”

“Ah, I see, so if we showed you something that would bring back the heat, would you have to kiss one of us?”

“I would, but first, Rarity is out, and so is Rainbow Dash for kissing.”

Rarity and Rainbow Dash, in anger, asked, “What! Why?”

“Indeed, darling, this is quite frustrating; why am I not on the list?”

Aaron replied, “Because I promised Spike like a man, I don’t plan on breaking it until he says it’s broken, and Rainbow Dash, you're narcissistic and selfish; when you grow up, then I’ll allow it.”

Apple Jack chuckled and asked, “Why would you allow the rest of us?”

Aaron replied, “Flutter Shy is allowed because she kissed me when I was passed out and I genuinely find her caring; Pinkie Pie is allowed because of her sense of humor, and I sense a hint of familiarity from her, plus she taste like hard candy in the mouth region and I like sweets; Twilight is allowed because she’s a nerd. Plus, I find librarians sexy, and when she not doing anything experimental, she is downright adorable. Apple Jack, you’re allowed because you radiate hard-working vibes and a good sense of self. Plus, find farm girl one of my favorite types of girl, just the calluses of your hands and feminine, yet strong things gets me.”

Rarity asked, “What was the promise you made with Spike?”

“Not my place to say; if you want to know, ask Spike.”

Aaron walked over to Twilight and lifted her back on her feet, and before he left, Rainbow Dash pissed, exclaiming, “You jerk Anon, why should I change for your benefit?”

Aaron turned around, looked Rainbow Dash in her eyes, and said, “Its not my benefit you should change for it’s for your friends sake and before you say something about money and greed, you barely do your job as a weather worker to begin, if you truly care for your friends then find ways to better yourself and or the community.”

Not wanting to hear the rest, Rainbow Dash left for the following competition site. Aaron watched, turned back, and headed for Flutter Shy’s Cottage to feed her animals. As he walked back, Aaron smirked and said, “Phase one is done. Now, we wait for Phase Two.”

Twilight shook off the flustered expression and watched Aaron leave, and Flutter Shy headed to the following competition site with Pinkie Pie, Apple Jack, and Rarity. Twilight walked over to Aaron and watched him work. After finishing feeding the animals, Aaron sat down on a tree in the shade with all the animals lying around him and relaxed to sleep. Aaron watched Angel hop on his lap and start to sleep. Twilight sat on the other side. She was going to say something, and Aaron said, “Sorry, I know that was your first kiss, and I stole it like a bastard.”

“It’s ok, in all honesty, I liked it. If it weren't you, I’d probably have bumped into some guard and accidentally kissed them.”

“I don’t feel so bad stealing it now, but I think I know why I have fire coming from my mouth.”

“What is your hypothesis.”

“I think my body absorbed the fire when I fell from the atmosphere, and it probably has to exit out my mouth; that is only proven by the fact that Rainbow Dash struck me with lightning those three times and know I shoot flame and electricity out my mouth.”

“That’s a pretty good theory. I was wondered what your world was like and how exactly you got here?”

Aaron sighed and petted Angel Bunny, who was sleeping at this point. Aaron responded, “My world was a complete mess. My race is something that values money and invention; the more you have, the better your life is, and the smarter you are, the more value you have. I held neither riches nor intelligence, and people like that entered the military to escape their pent-up anger and frustration; I joined to follow the family tradition. I retired after serving several decades in several other branches, but my father retired a decade before me. My dad lost his second wife and my stepmother, who cared for our family.”

Twilight listened with a bit of confusion. Aaron kept going, “My dad contracted pancreatic cancer and ended up not surviving the operation. After that, he left me everything in his will, and even a few secret missions needed to be done. The last mission ended with me blowing up a secret log cabin, and I ended up in the cabin when it exploded and took me with it. I can’t say it was all in failure; I took an evil group that killed most of my other family members and, most likely, my father as well. Then I ended up here.”

Twilight counted the year and asked, “Are you 43?”

Aaron replied, “As much as I would say I am, I’m probably not, since I got here. I’m sure I got younger, like mid twenties, and I’m positive I check in the mirror, and I can tell I don’t have my usual facial features, and the stuff that usually hurts to move doesn’t anymore. Plus, this body is definitely been upgraded or something, I can tell and feel the difference between this one and the other one.”

Twilight thought about it and asked, “Are you a virgin? And what’s the difference between them both?”

“Are you? And I’m pretty sure the reason for the difference is because I blew myself up so maybe when I fell into this world. The universe couldn’t remember what I had and decided to spit ball the stats and skills.”

“Well, I mean, that’s an interesting theory and I am but that’s because I didn’t really like any anthro.”

“I am, and I assure you that even in my world, I valued moral integrity and honesty; sadly, I never did find the one for me. This is honestly my first time being wanted like this. Can you explain why that is, please?”

Twilight looked off in the distance and noticed Rainbow Dash and her other friends coming back. She said, “I do not know the reason for the others, but I’m attracted to you because of your mysterious nature and strange strength. Luna probably likes you because of your memories of the stars and kind nature. Celestia might find your relaxed nature refreshing, and you have shown your capability to fix problems that block your path.”
