OC = Shatter belongs to shinigshadows1965

It was amazing. The sun was out and shining its beautiful rays over Foalida (Florida I know bad!), and the wind was just right to take the extreme heat to a wonderful temperature. The girls, Cinder, Worthless, Apollo, and Mac had decided that it was time for a vacation. Between plans for Canterlot and the apple orchard, no one had time to relax. Especially the new couple. After their confession, the two had sat down in the living room in front of the fireplace. Well it was more like…well… Apollo sitting on Mac's lap, snuggling tiredly into his chest. Hey, winter took a lot out of a Pegasus. They had talked, and agreed that they didn't want to take things too fast. While they knew that they were in love…they had accepted the reality that they might not be together in the future. As much as the thought hurt, they knew that it could happen. So when deciding their first date, they knew that Foalida was a good place to start.

Apollo lay on the top of his bed covers, the night being too hot to actually have blankets on him. He was dressed in one of Mac's oversized t-shirts, with his black running shorts on underneath. Hey, just because they decided to take things slow, didn't mean they could do couple things. He slept peacefully on the bed, not noticing that the door to their hotel room had opened. He had shared a room with both Worthless and Mac, knowing that worthless would keep them appropriate. The figure moved slowly towards the bed, a low chuckle emitting from his throat. Apollo turned slowly onto his side, the T-shirt slightly slipping off one shoulder, revealing the milky white skin that had yet to be tanned by the sun. his chest rose slowly. In, 1-2-3-4-5, out, 1-2-3-4-5. The man looked absolutely adorable, and the figure found himself blushing at the other thoughts that swirled through his brain. He regretted it, but he set one knee on the bed, and leaned his mouth near the others ear. Almost touching it, the figure sighed.

"Apollo…come on bud…wake up before I do it myself,"

Apollo's eyes slowly opened, and his black eyelashes brushed his cheek as he blinked several times. He looked up and smiled at the caring expression on his boyfriends face.

"Morning Mac…this is a lovely surprise…" Apollo murmured, awake, but refusing to leave his soft place.

"Didn't want Cinder to come barreling in here…especially to see you like this…" Mac chuckled, pink dusting his cheeks.

Apollo blinked in confusion, before looking down at his nighttime attire. He yelped, now fully awake and pulled the shirt up and tired to cover himself with a blanket. But Mac was too quick. As Apollo turned around, Mac grabbed him around the waist from behind and pulled him to his chest.

"MAC!" Apollo yelled, blushing up a storm.

"Come on, I think you look nice…especially with my shirt on you," Mac laughed.

Apollo smiled and squirmed out of the taller's grip. He fluttered up to give Mac a peck on the forehead before landing and heading towards the bathroom.

"I got gipped! That wasn't a good morning kiss!" Mac complained.

Apollo turned to the other, hands on his hips, and a smile on his lips. Mac gulped, uh-oh.

"Who says that I'm going to kiss you at all today? Hmmm?" Apollo teased, before giving Mac a light shove in the chest. "Now go on a get dressed! And you say I'm an embarrassment," Apollo chuckled, before locking himself up in the bathroom.

Mac groaned before leaning his forehead against the door.

"Pretty please with Apple jam on top?"

"Mac."

"…getting dressed I know, I know. Dang it…"

Apollo chuckled as he heard his boyfriend leave the room.

'Such a softy…but can never win an argument'

[Lounge]

{{Layout of room they bought. It's high end. So the hotel room they bought had four sections. Two of the sections are bedrooms. On section has five beds, while the other had six. The girls pulled an extra bed out of the boys room to accommodate everyone. In between the two sections is a lounge area, and the section connected to it is a kitchen. High end I tell you}}

The girls, with the exception of Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie, were all lulling about the lounge, while Worthless sat out on the balcony, enjoying the fine weather. Breakfast had already been made by Cinder and her fire abilities. Who could blame her, she'd been itching to let loose. Lo-and-behold, cooking. Mac entered the room. Wearing a white T-shirt and his deep blue swimming trunks. His hair was slightly brushed, but it always had a look of bed head. Cinder turned to Mac and gave her evil smirk. Ever since those two had gotten together, her mischievous streak had turned for the worst.

"So…did you wake sleeping beauty with your princely kiss?" Cinder laughed, making kissing noises.

"Crap!" Worthless grumbled falling from his chair, and then stalking into the lounge "You two didn't…I was out of the room for one minute and you two…"

"WORTHLESS! Get your head out of the gutter…unless," She turned to Mac who was a bright red.

"You two are sick, it's a miracle I still tolerate you two," a voice sighed.

Mac turned and he felt his heart flutter at Apollo's smile and his….

'Wow…' Mac thought

"You clean up good Apollo!" Apple Jack whistled, sending the girls into a fit of giggles.

But it was true. Apollo did look Ravishing. He wore wine colored trunks that perfectly complimented his pale complexion along with his black t-shirt. He just looked…so…so

"Beautiful…" Mac whispered before he realized what he said, and blushed with a sheepish grin.

Apollo smiled but a blush was definitely on his cheeks as well. He walked up to Mac, who carefully put his arm around the others thin waist. Mac frowned at that, before Apollo gave him the 'don't you dare' look. Mac only rolled his eyes before kissing the others cheek. The whole room awed, except for Worthless. But he settled on a knowing smirk. He shook his head, all the time thinking, 'those lovesick people'. Apollo looked around before sighing.

"Aren't you guys ready for the beach?"

"Cinder and I are ready, it's just these girls. Plus two of them are too lazy to get up out of bed," Worthless replied, throwing his head in the direction of the bedroom.

Mac sighed in aggravation getting ready to wake them up, until a delicate hand touched his chest. Apollo gave him a smile, while putting his finger to his lips. The friends watched as Apollo merely sauntered into the room. They could hear a bit of whispering before two screams erupted and Dash and Pinkie Pie ran to the bathrooms with their swimsuits. All stared in wonder and turned back as Apollo walked out of the room, a victorious grin on his face. Mac smiled and pulled the other to him.

"What'd you do to them?"

Apollo just chuckled, patting Mac's arm in mock comfort.

"That, my dear, is between me and their crushes,"

[Two Hours Later]

The girls yelled as they reached the coast line and were soon out of sight before the adults could get a word in. Apollo and Cinder just laughed, while Mac shrugged and Worthless rubbed his forehead. The beach only had a few people on it, since it was a little known about paradise.

"I'm not diving in if one of them drowns," Worthless commented, as they set their places on the beach.

"You don't mean that," Apollo joked as he sat next to Mac on their shared towel.

Worthless smiled and laid down on his towel, I-pod stuck in his ears. Cinder laughed before reclining her beach chair and falling asleep. Leaving the couple to their own devices. Apollo shook his head at his friend's actions, wondering about those two. A hand wrapped around his and he shyly turned to Mac. The older just smiled and gave the other a peck on the cheek, before lying down.

"You better put some sunscreen on Mac. You'll burn…" Apollo trailed as he lathered some on himself.

"But you like me when I'm tan," Teased Mac, laughing a bit louder as Apollo's face erupted in a fiery blush.

Frowning Apollo just shook his head, saying, "Well guess who's not rubbing Aloe on you if you get burned?"

Mac sighed and started to sunscreen himself all over. Mac found himself relaxing in the sun, and not on purpose, fell asleep. Apollo smiled before standing up slightly. He just wasn't one for sitting down. He walked down the coast line, searching for the girls. Knowing them, well knowing Dash, they could get themselves into a pickle. The sun felt good on his skin, but the sand definitely didn't feel great on the soles of his feet. He moved over a bit, and smiled as he walked in the waters cooling froth.

"Hey Apollo! Hey!"

He looked over and a sweet smile covered his face. The girls had found themselves a spot on the beach, by a rock wall that also served as a jumping spot for the water. He clapped as Dash did a flip into the water. Pinkie Pie was waving ecstatically from her donut decorated inner tube. He waved back and walked towards Fluttershy and Rarity, who were happily sun bathing. Twilight was jumping into the water, after Dash had finally convinced her to do so.

"Enjoying the beach girls?" Apollo smiled.

"Oh it is quite wonderful! Ah, the sun's rays are just right for my complexion!" Rarity bragged.

Apollo sweat dropped a bit, but knew it was just in the white unicorn's nature. He looked around confused. Where was Apple Jack? Fluttershy saw Apollo's gaze and gave a soft smile.

"Apple Jack is behind the rock wall…with a guy…" she muttered nervously, as she assumed it came out the wrong way.

"HMM?" ok now he was suspicious.

He gave the girls a nod before flying up and over the wall. He took a seat on the wall, as he took in the site in front of him. A small smile began to form on his lips. There sitting in the sand was Apple Jack, in her red and yellow two piece tank-ini, and sitting beside her, was the object of her undivided attention. There sat a boy, about her age or a year older or so. His olive skin was definitely from Hispanic descent, and his honey brown eyes were focused solely on hers. His black hair was cropped military style but a bit longer and freer, and a white stripe ran down the middle, imitating a built in Mohawk. The boy was unusual though, Apollo thought with amusement. His horn and wings were a pastel yellow, with white spots here and there.

'A male Alicorn, hard to find these days,' he chuckled, his wings folding back.

The two weren't doing anything romantic…just merely talking. But Apollo could see the attraction in both of their eyes. It was the same way he looked at Mac when he was still crushing on the older man. Applejack talked quickly, stuttering a few times, showing her obvious anxiety at meeting this boy. The other didn't seem to care though. He kept direct eye contact with her the whole time, even when she ducked her head. He seemed to hang on every single one of her words, and responded when needed to. He was absolutely smitten with her, and she with him. She broke out in a blush at a comment of his, and inadvertently turned to Apollo. As soon as she saw him, she yelped, making her new friend turn as well.

'Whoops. Covers blown, guess I have to act like a big brother,' Apollo chuckled mentally, flying to the two's side.

As soon as he hit the ground, both of them shot away from one another. Smirking, Apollo raised an eyebrow before turning to Apple Jack, whose blush had engulfed her face.

"AJ, would you mind introducing me to your friend here?" Apollo asked, crossing his arms in mock anger.

Apple Jack let out a sigh of relief, thankful that he wasn't acting like her overprotective brother. She shyly grabbed the others arm and pulled him over. The boys blush had gone away, and replacing it was a handsome smile. He put his hand out, and Apollo greeted it in a shake.

"My names Shatter Star sir, you can call me Shatter. It's nice to meet you…um…" the boy stopped, not knowing how to continue.

"My names Apollo. Please no sir or stuff like that." Apollo laughed. "So how long have you and AJ been hanging out? I have to admit AJ, out of all of us, you seem to be having the most fun," He replied honestly.

"Yeah. Well we kind of just met. Shatter was walking down the beach…and…"

"You came here to avoid the other girls…Smart," Apollo said, looking around the peaceful scene.

"You know, I kind of expected AJ's brother to…you know strangle me," Shatter laughed, relief clear in his posture.

"Well you're right about one thing," a deep voice murmured, as the figure cast a shadow over a now embarrassed Apollo.

"Oh please no…" Both AJ and Apollo mourned in chagrin of the other.

Shatter stood there, a nervous smile now on his face.

"So I'm guessing you're really AJ's brother?" He asked, taking a slightly nervous gulp.

"You're darn right I am. How dare you, if you lay a hand on my…"

But a pale hand on his chest stopped him; he looked down to see Apollo staring right at him. His stare was filled with determination and annoyance. Mac gulped, but didn't let down on the glare towards the younger boy. Apollo sighed before sending the two a withering smile.

"Give me a minute you two. Ok?"

Shatter nodded in confusion, a smile still on his lips. AJ nodded furiously, knowing that if anyone could convince her brother to chill out, it was Apollo. Apollo gently grabbed the others wrist and pulled him towards a part of the beach where no one could see them. Despite his size and his build, he was pretty strong. Once he was far enough away, Apollo let go and faced Mac with a gentle smile. Mac just scowled and turned away with angrily crossed arms. Apollo rolled his eyes before laying his hands on the others chest and laying a peck on the others cheek. Immediately, Mac turned and went for another kiss, but Apollo just chuckled and lowered down.

"Knew that'd get your attention," Apollo chuckled, before turning serious. "Why are you making this so difficult for AJ?" He asked, giving Mac a calculating look.

Mac sputtered and scuffed the sand with his shoe. Muttering something under his breath, Apollo sighed and stepped closer.

"Speak up…"

"I said…I'm protective of my family…especially you and AJ…" Mac muttered, now looking at Apollo with loving eyes.

Apollo smiled before Mac pulled him into an embrace. Apollo just snuggled into the other, before looking up.

"As much as you love her. She's growing up, and the boy she's met is a sweetheart…"

Mac still looked unconvinced, Apollo sighed before placing his hand on the taller's cheek and pulling him into a kiss. Mac felt all resistance leave him as he placed his hand on the back of Apollo's head, deepening the kiss. Their lips softly moved around one another, before Apollo pulled back, regretfully.

"Do you trust me?" Apollo asked sternly, looking Mac straight in the eye.

Mac sighed before smiling, "Of course I do."

"Good, then trust me that AJ is smart and she'll be fine. Plus, with you and me watching her, she'll always be safe,"

Mac sighed knowing what Apollo said was true. He wrapped his arm around the others slim waist, and they slowly made their way towards the young teens. AJ looked nervous at first, but as soon as she saw Mac's relaxed state, she knew what his answer was. Without warning she barreled Apollo in a hug.

"Thank you!" she squealed, laughing as Apollo ruffled her hair.

"Hey! What about me?" Mac managed before AJ tackled him too.

"You're the best big brother ever!"

"True." Mac chortled.

Apollo only rolled his eyes, but sharply looked up at AJ's yell. He turned and laughed at the sight of Mac throwing her in the water. The younger girl rose and was practically spitting fire. Apollo continued to laugh, before two strong arms picked him up bridle style.

"MAC! SO HELP ME…" was all he could say before he was tossed into the water.

"Sorry, but that's what you two get for hoodwinking me!" Mac guffawed, slapping his knees in obvious laughter.

Apollo seethed in the water, so not happy with his boyfriend.

"Apollo…" Apollo turned to an equally seething sister "Get him…Make him pay,"

Apollo nodded before stomping out of the water. Mac stopped as he caught sight of his drenched boyfriend. He slowly backed away, anxiety written all over his face.

"Now Apollo, don't do anything you'll regret…" he rambled nervously, backing away.

"Mac…"

"Yes Apollo?"

"You are so dead…"
