About a week after my hangover, and my apparent make out session with Applejack, we were training with more drills since the respawn generator was still busted. Dusty really messed up the generator more then we thought.

During training however, the thoughts if what happened the day after our hangover played in my mind.

*Flashback, Normal *P.O.V**

The day after the hangover, Spear had offered to help clean the cellar while Applejack was doing her chores around the barn. He was glad Twilight understood that they were drunk at the time and didn't get upset by it.

And being here gave him time to think about what happened the night before. He blushed he began to remember her mane between his fingers and feeling her soft lips on his.

He blushed hard as he tried to keep himself calm and focused on cleaning. He then heard the door open and a voice he was hoping he wouldn't hear. "H-Hi sugercube."

Spear turned as saw Applejack, blushing behind him. Spear gulped as he saw her and nervousness flooded his veins. What dose he do now?! This is gonna be so awkward.

Applejack saw Spear's panicked expression and walked to him, putting a hoof softy on his cheek and said "It's ok sugercube, I'm not mad at you. But I...I think it would be best if we t-talked, you know...about two nights ago?"

Spear sighed, knowing this was unavoidable at this ponit. He grabbed a chair and pulled it open for her. Applejack blushed by the gesture. 'Is this how Rarity feels when Spike acts like this for her?'

She walked over and sat on the chair, as he pushed the chair closer to the table as Applejack quietly said "Such a gentleman." She then blushed as Spear sat at the otherside of the table.

"So...obviously, we were both drunk by the cider and...got a bit...passionate with each other and..." Spear gulped in nervousness. Even though she said she wasn't mad at him, it still felt a bit awkward for him.

Applejack sighed at Spear's nervousness and spoke up saying "Look, I know it's awkward for you since you have a massive crush I Twilight, I get it."

Spear blushed as he said "H-How did you-"

"It's kinda obvious you been sweet on her for awhile now sugercube. Seriously, you act like how Spike acts around Rarity."

Spear then chuckled dryly as he remembered how Spike gose love struck around Rarity at times as Applejack continued, "And I know you probably feel kinda crummy for kissing another mare and all, but...I WAS the one who kissed you first after all, because...well..."

Applejack blushed as she started to feel a bit awkward now. She felt strong in the beginning, but now her nerves were getting to her.

Spear began to notice her blushing and started to have some suspensions. "A.J? Do you...have a crush on me?"

Applejack's face got redder as she sighed and said "I won't lie sugercube, I've recently developed a crush on you during the recent Iron pony competition. When you attended to me when I got hurt. I-I never had anypony else take care of me before that...*Sigh* but I guess your heart already belongs to Twilight then, huh?" Applejack said in a sad tone. Accepting her lose-

"Wait, hold on a moment!" Spear spoke, catching Applejack off guard as he spoke. "*Sigh* Look, I've been doing alot of thinking yesterday. Looking back and sorting out my emotions, and...I realized something...I...I think I have a crush on all six of you."

Applejack was left speechless as she processed this info. Spear has feelings for all of them, and she was willing to bet the others were willing to share...

"Yeeeeehaa!" Applejack kissed Spear again as she said "Sugercube, if you wanna do a herd with us, I'm more then willing to join! And I'm also letting Twilight be the headmare if you wanna confess to her first."

Spear smiled at the thought. Knowing that, at least Applejack, was agreeable to the idea of a herd. However, one thing popped into his mind as he said, "Sounds great, but, can I ask one thing? Where dose that leave us till the Herd is complete?"

Applejack pondered for a second, wondering that as well. "Well...in public, we can still act as friends. But in private...I wouldn't mind another make out session once in a while. The caller can double as our secret hang out for our herd...and our love nest~ That sound good to you sugercube~?"

Spear nodded as he and Applejack kissed once again. Celebrating the start of their herd.

*End of Flashback, Spear's P.O.V*

As I blushed from the memory, I was snapped out of my Trans to heard Lightning bliss yell in pain. I ran over to see and it looked to see Lightning on the ground with a sprained ankle.

She must have tripped while in battle and now she can't run. I felt bad for her, So, I ran up to her and asked "Need some help to get to the medical bay blissy?"

She nervously nodded as I asked "Can you at least stand on your own?"

Lightning tried to stand, but fell down when a jolt of pain hit her as she said "Owww. Well, that was a bust. Guess I'm stuck here."

"Not necessarily." I said as I carried her bridal style in my arms. "Whoa, Spear! This isn't-"

"You want to be stuck on the ground all day?" I said sternly as I carried her."Besides, I can get you to the sickbay easier like this."

Lightning bliss blushed as I started to walk over to the sick bay. She then felt a surge of pain on her ankle.

She...started to panic. "Owwwwww! It hurts! It hurts! Holy Celestia, it hurts!"

I gave a sympathetic look as I tried to calm Bliss down and said "It's ok Bliss, we're almost to the medical bay. I'm sure Key's got something to heal your ankle."

As if on cue, Key frame walked and saw me holding Lightning. She was confused as she said "Umm...why are you two practicing the bridal hold?"

Me and Bliss gave a unamused look to Key as I said "No, Blissy got hurt during practice, and I was bringing her to the medical bay, thinking you may have something to help her heal?"

Key frame gave a sincere smile as she said "Oh yeah. I've got some ice for the leg, and some medi-cupcakes in the sick bay. She'll be as bright as rainbows in no time."

Lightning bliss sniffed from the pain as she said "*sniff* Thank you, kei-kei. You too Spear. I'm sorry if I'm causing you two any trouble."

Me and Key then gave a warm smile as Key said "It's no trouble at all Blissy." I followed it up as I said "Yeah Bliss, what are friends for?"

We were almost to the sick bay, when I saw her pupils stink. I was confused, till I heard a annoying voice. "Well, ain't that Cute.

Ugh, Toonkritic. Talk about the worse timing. Blissy then gave a annoyed grunt as she replied "Ugh, HI Toon."

I saw the look in Toon's eyes, and I knew that this wasn't gonna end well. "Well, well, well, I guess it you were short-sighted to get a little bo bo."

I could feel Blissy shake in my arms in frustration as Key said "Toon, we DON'T have time for this. Me and Spear need to get her to the sick bay."

Unfortunately, misery loves company. And AnY walked in decided to Stir the coals. "Yeah Toon, taking care of a alicorn is a tall order to fulfill."

I could see Keyframe wanting to snap at any moment from the anger. So I decided to speak up and say "Ok, knock it you two. This isn't the time for this."

Toon then gave a evil looking grin. Ohhhh, he better not-" Oh, I'm sure. The time for you is gonna squeak on by if you don't hurry."

Ohhhhhhh, he went there! I felt my teeth grind together as anger boiled inside me from the pun.

Luckily, Lightning stood up for me and said "leave them alone you two! At least they were kind enough to care."

Golden then came down from above and said "Guys, let Key,Spear and Bliss be. Quit being small minded, your being rat-iculous."

I felt like a nerve was gonna burst as as Key lifed Golden with her magic and said "Honey...Your not helping."

"What? I'm just trying to be the bigger pony." Bad idea Golden. Really bad idea.

Key then dropped Golden on the ground as I facepalmed and Blissy said "Seriously Goldilocks?" The three of us headed to the sick bay, fuming from all the puns.

In the sick bay

While Blissy was eating a cupcake, with her leg wrapped up, me and Key were pacing back and forth. Angred and fed up with all the joke at our expense.

Bliss looked at us, concerned as she asked "Umm, you ok guys?"

"Who do they think they are? Talking to us like that." Key said, clearly upset about the disrespect from our teammates.

I replied just as irritated as I said "I know, right? They think we're walking joke magnets or something!"

Lightning bliss then gave the same expression and voiced out, "I know what you two mean. I felt like I've been becoming the Pun-ching bag myself as of late."

Key then gave a tired expression as she said "Ever since day one, the three of us have been on the flank end of each joke. Short joke this, long legs that, rat joke here, mouse face there. We can't control how we look!"

She finished her rant with a angry look on her face as Lightning bliss started her own rant saying, "Yeah, but sadly, we can't do a darn thing about it! We're gonna have to live with "dawww the weeee cute little alicorn", "Mr. Needle mouse", and the "Attack of the 50 foot Key" unless something changes."

The three of us felt defeated, knowing that won't happen ANY time soon, as I got frustrated again and yelled "Gah, Can't we just get our revenge just ONCE In our-"

However, by some divine intervention...it happened. The P.A speakers turned on and Doc the. Spoke through them and said "Good news everyone. I'm pleased to announce that we FINALLY got the respwan generator working again. So we don't have to worry about any friendly fire as long as it doesn't get out of hand.""

The three of us looked at each other. Processing this info...then...a smile popped up. A evil smile. This was it...this was the chance for revenge we've waiting for MOUTHS now!

The three of us began to laugh maniacally, as Key and Bliss then grabbed their weapons. I decided to serve MY revenge a bit more...of MY style. I then summoned two orbs of ki in my hands and said "...Oh, THIS was gonna be GOOOOD~"

Toon was our first target, and it was SO beautiful to hear the victims final pleas in his final moments. "Oh,come on Bliss, you know we were just joking. Their's no need to be short tempted...oh shoot."

Oh hohohoho. BIG MISTAKE RED AND BLACK OC! "RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!" Me and Bliss changed at him unleashing a Barrage of bullets and ki blasts at them AND everything that was breathing! The three of us continued to shoot and fire ki all over, Psychonically laughing at the carnage and destruction we left in our wake! Oh, we never felt so ALIVE!!!

One hour later

The three of us felt happy and giddy after letting out our frustrations. Like, a massive weight was lifted off our shoulders.

This good feeling felt great!...till I saw Doc staring at us. Upset with us. Oh, this won't end well.

"Well, I am glad that you three found a effective way to vent out your frustrations." Doc said surprisingly relieved. Which gave me whip lash as he then said "And were only too relieved that you three put off your murderous rampage until AFTER we got the respawn generator working again."

The three of giggled as the bliss from our rampage was still coursing through us as key frame started "Well, I guess you can say it's just what the Doctor ordered."

Lightning bliss followed up with "IT was totally a Howling good time!"

And I finished with "Definitely a K-nine out of ten. Would murder again."

We all smiled at our word play, which turned out to be a big mistake as Doc said "Unfortunately, you three caused so much of a ruckus, so quickly, that you've overloaded the generator to the ponit of complete burn out."

That piece of news made us crush back to reality. The generator was busted...again. From our buildup frustration. Greeeeeat.

Doc gave a stern look as he said " Well, I'm afraid you three have given be little choice here. I'm afraid I'll have to in act some kind of punishment of you three for all this."

Key frame was the first to panic as she said "PLEASE don't let it be robot cleaning duty again! I had oil in my hoofs for weeks!"

Lightning Bliss was the next to panic and said "PLEASE don't make me made Toon's milkshakes! It always ruins the oven, and it takes forever to clean!"

"That's NOT how you-Arrrgh!" I yelled in frustration as i pulled my quills. Seriously, why dose Toon even THINK that is even the way to make a milkshake?! I eventually let out a sigh and said "Just make it quick Doc. I'll accept any punishment you dish out."

Doc nodded as he said "All right then. For you Mr Spear, as punishment. You'll help me repair the respwan generator by gathering the parts and fixing the circuitry. And your not allowed to attend Tf2 practice for a week."

My mouth was left hanging open. NO Tf2 practice for a week, AND I have to repair the respwan generator too?! What a rip!

But for Bliss and Keyframe, well..."As for Miss Bliss and Miss Keyframe, I'm sending the two of you...on vacation."

It was at that moment I felt my mind break. I get stuck on generator repair, while THEY get a vacation?! HOW IS THAT FAIR?!

Surprisingly, Thespio comes in and says "Have you gone MENTAL?! They killed me seventeen times in four minutes...and I wasn't even in this chapter!"

Doc then hit the "I'm not finished yet." As he began to say "I'm send Lightning bliss and Keyframe on vacation...without their drawing tables, sketch pads, and canvases."

Key frame and Lightning bliss looked shocked and devastated as they cried out "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"

Me and Thespio then gave a surprised look as He said to Doc "Wow...you know, you can be really evil when you put your mind to it Doc."

If what just happened didn't scare us before, what Doc said afterwards DEFINITELY did. "You have no idea." I gulped when he said that. Making a note to NEVER get on Doc's bad side.

A few hours later

*Normal P.O.V*

As Spear stepped off the train and walked from the station, He then begin to make his way back to the castle, tired from cleaning up the mess he, Lightning Bliss, and Keyframe made. Part of him regrets doing that because he got in trouble and punished for it. But, at the time, he doesn't regret doing it.

He made it to the castle door when he heard somepony call to him. "Hoody sugercube!"

He turned and saw Applejack walking towards him with a smile on her face and a hidden alore in her eyes.

Ever since they confess they had a crush on each other, Applejack had actually made a effort to make herself more...attractive for her future coltfriend. Nothing too noticeable. She fixed her hair, put on a little make up (no where close to the amount Rarity uses), and even dolled up one of her spare hats to look slightly more feminine.

Spear smile when he saw her. Makes him wonder how's he gonna confess to the others one day. He'll think about it another time though. He's just wants to relax now. "Hey, A.J. What's up?"

"Nothing much. Just finished up my part of the chores at home and wanted to see you wanted some company." A.J said. The slight sweat from the walk over seemed to indicate her story.

Spear then opened the door and gestured with his arm to the door way and said "After you my lady."

Applejack blushed at the gesture. Not used to actually to being treated like a lady before. 'Is this how Rarity feels?' She thought as she said "Hehe, thank you kindly partner." She walked in, as Spear followed suit.

However, unknowing to the both of them, three mares happen to see the the little event play out. Rarity, Fluttershy, and Rainbow dash were hiding in a nearby bush while watching the exchange.

Rarity and Fluttershy were coming back from their bi monthly trip to the spa, when they noticed Applejack looking more dolled up then before.

Suspicious about Applejack's sudden glow up, the two mares followed her and saw Spear by the castle. Seeing act all gentlemenly for Applejack was a strange sight.

Rainbow dash noticed the pair hiding in the bushes and tried to say hi. But Rarity grabbed her with her magic, and placed her between her and Fluttershy.

Rainbow dash then saw what they saw and was just as dumbfounded as Rarity. While Fluttershy blushed at the muscles shining from the sweat Spear had on him.

She wouldn't admit it to nopony, not even to angel bunny, But Fluttershy had a thing for the strong, muscular types.

She used to offend stop by at Sweet apple acres check on the farm animals as a favor for the apple family. But in reality, she would use it as a excuse to see Big Mac work on the farm. Him using his muscles on the farm was her favorite sight to see.

However recently, while on the farm. Big Mac was off doing Pie deliveries, and Spear had offered to help with some of the chores for Big Mac as a favor for him. And when she saw him, he was covered in sweat as he took off his sweat shirt and his tone body.

While not as bulky as Big Mac, his muscles were more sculpted then Big Mac's, which she found attractive. Strong, brave, yet gently. That combination made Fluttershy fall hard for Spear.

They saw the two of them go in and Rainbow dash and Fluttershy helped Rarity to the tree, as the looked in to the library, and saw blushed at what they saw.

Applejack and Spear were in each other's embrace, making out since they were alone in the castle. Twilight and Spike were in Cantrlot, while Scootaloo was still in school. The perfect time for some stress relief.

Fluttershy covered her eyes in embarrassment. nervous, yet excited, to see the scene. Rainbow dash and Rarity were confused, yet also excited for the show.

Confused that they never expected Applejack to fall for somepony and show more feminine qualities to somepony. And excited for...other reasons.

While they were far enough that the lovers couldn't hear them, the nosey mares WERE close enough to hear them. As Applejack moaned as she said, "Oooh you animal~

Spear then opened his eyes and noticed the mirror in the front of the study face the window, revealing the nosey mares in the tree and smirked. 'Well, they wanna be a bunch of peeping fillys, then I'll give them a show~'

Spear then started to nibble of Applejacks ear as she said "Oooh yeah~ is my ear tasty? Bet it tastes like apples, doesn't it?"

Spear then gave a cheeky smirk, and began to kiss her neck. Having a feeling it was her weak spot. And he was right. "OOHH sugercube~! That feels soooo good!"

Rarity then licked her lips on the branch, feeling jealous about what Applejack was doing. However, she knew that she'd have to wait till either she or he confess first. And before that, she would have to confess to Spike about her feelings one day.

Rainbow dash gulped as a feeling of...jealously began to bubble from within. 'Wait, why am I jealous of A.J? Just because her and Spear are locking lips, doesn't mean I'm jealous. I mean, so what if she can...feels his lips...wrestle with his tongue...smells his delicious...strawberry shampoo scented fur... and...be in his warm...comforting embrace...oh buck.'

It was then Rainbow knew...that she was in love with him. Looking back, she probably had a crush on him for a long time now. Ever since the two of them became rivals in speed. Maybe ONE day she'll confess and maybe pitch the idea of starting a herd with the others.

However, all their thoughts were interrupted when a certain Pink mare showed up and said "Hey!"

They looked down and saw Pinkie pie, and thought she was join them. However, the scolding look on her face said otherwise as she said "It's not nice to peep on your friends!"

She then bucked the tree, making Rainbow dash and Rarity fall to the ground, while getting Fluttershy's attention, as she glided back to the ground. "Come with me. Auntie Pinkie gonna scold you for peeping on Spear and Applejack!"

Fluttershy and Rarity then gave blank stare and said "We're older then you."

Pinkie rolled her eyes and gave the same look Doc give when disappointed as she said "Sugercube corner. Now. Pinkie said in a surprisingly upset tone. While she was mad at A.J for making out with her crush first. She was even more upset at the others for peeping on their private moment. The three gulped as the hesitantly followed the party pony to her party cave.

Meanwhile, Applejack looked up to the window and said "Look like those peeping fillys got caught."

Spear smirked and said "Well, serves then right for spying on us during our private time."

Applejack then looked at Spear and said "You mad?" Spear shook his head and said "Not really. I used to Spy on Princess Cadence on her dates with Shining armor once apon a time."

Applejack chuckled as she said "You know, your such a mischievous little rascal, aren't you."

"Yeah. But I'm you and the girls little rascal."
Spear said with a cooky tone.

"Oh, shut up and kiss me already." She said as the two of them kissed again. Enjoying their private moment in equestria.
