Changes

-Pov Reid-

You had just woken up from your nice long sleep and were making yourself some breakfast.

You fucking Hate mornings. At least you slept late, that earned some morning points. You head to the kitchen to see what you had tucked away for breakfast. Nothing. THE FUCK? Pierce usually bought food in the mornings on the way back from his walk. 'He must be working late', you reason and begin scrounging around for anything to eat. You find a half eaten pizza from the night before, some orange juice, and a yogurt.

You quickly look around for some fucks to give and don't find any, so you set up your breakfast of champions. You pour out the juice and place the pizza on a plate. You put it in the microwave and eat the yogurt while you wait for the pizza to be prepared. The Microwave makes a 'ding', signaling that the pizza is ready just as you finish the yougurt.

You are enjoying your pizza-and-orange-juice breakfast when Pierce bursts through the door, slamming it shut behind him and locking it. He was panting and had clearly run a long way.

"You okay man?" You ask, worried about Pierce.

"Are all the windows closed?" He asks, speeding his way into each room to check for himself.

"Uh... Yeah man. Why?"

Pierce closes all the blinds and barricades the front door with your only bookshelf. All the while, mumbling "Gotta hurry, gotta hurry."

Once he was done he sat down, tired from you-don't-know-what.

"Are you gonna tell me what is going on or am I going to have to guess?" You ask.

"It's Estrous season."

The realization of what was happening dawned on you all at once. You had learned all about Estrous while training with the Royal Guard, although you had never experienced one before.

You began to double check Pierce's work, making sure he didn't miss anything. You looked around for a while before noticing that Pierce had forgotten to lock the back door. You rushed towards it and locked it, making sure it wouldn't open to any-pony before releasing the handle.

You sat down next to Pierce. "How did it look out there?" You asked him.

"All the females are about five minutes off from town. They had left before this all started." He answered.

"No wonder it's so quiet out." You say.

"Yeah, and let's keep it that way. As long as we are quiet the girls should pass by after an hour or so." Said Pierce.

A few minutes pass by before the horde of mares enters the town. You can hear them in Ponyville, calling out for any man they could think of. You lived on the outskirts of the town, in between Ponyville and Sweet Apple Acres. They could be heard passing through the town, not finding any-pony willing to ease them of their tension. They were heading in your direction but you were sure that they would pass you as long as you stayed quiet.

"I'm going to grab a snack before we aren't allowed to move." You say, getting up.

"Make it quick." Pierce says as you walk towards the kitchen. You are too caught up in listening to the approaching mares to notice the large stereo on the floor. You trip over it, not falling, but you hit the play button on the stereo with your foot. The song grows from within the stereo as it slides into the kitchen, starting up on full blast.

"Shit!" You say, steadying yourself so you don't fall.

"Turn that the fuck off!" Piece yells over the music.

The sound is blasting through the house, bass shaking the floor and making your body vibrate. You look around for the stereo on the floor but don't see it. Pierce is now looking for the stereo also. The stereo is so loud that you can't find it by listening. You look around the whole living room, eyes vibrating, until you make your way to the kitchen with Pierce. He was looking under the table when you saw it. You dive towards it and stop the music just as the song ends on it's own.

"Do you think they heard it?" You ask.

You both listen. The sounds of lustful mares can be heard outside. Not far away, not in the town, but closer. You wonder how close they really are, until your entire house shakes with the force of a town full of mares slams their hooves agaisnt your walls.
