Chronos' Sexual Revolution

Operation Wedding Crash

Luna sighed as she cuddled her lover. She always enjoyed a postcoital embrace with her hot blooded lover. She was always naturally cold so having someone like Spike to be close was always comforting. Unfortunately, she couldn't enjoy it as much today because of what happened earlier. She didn't want to force Chronos to marry, but she couldn't think of any other way to keep him from sleeping around.

"What's wrong, Luna?" Spike said pulling her close. He knew what was wrong though. It was Chronos. The stallion was on his mind as well.

"I just wonder if this arranged marriage is the best thing for Chronos. He seemed so upset when we told him."

"We've tried everything to get him to shape up. You shouldn't feel bad that it's come to this."

"But we're his parents, Spike. Aren't we supposed to have raised him not to do this sort of thing? If I'd have done something different during his childhood, he wouldn't need to sleep with so many mares, right? If I had hugged him more as a colt and showed him more affection-" Spike put a finger to her lips.

"Do you remember that time you were walking through the castle garden with Chronos and he fell?

"Of course, I do. I'll never forget it. He was such a cute little foal back then."

"You not only kissed it and put a bandaid on it. You picked him up and cradled him as you flew him back to his crib. Then you waited for him to wake up because you wanted him to know he wasn't alone in his time of need. I don't ever want you to question the fact that you're a great mother." Spike told her. Sometimes he thought she was a bit overzealous in her role as mother but he knew how much this meant to her so it was understandable that she'd be so protective of him.

"I guess you have a point." Luna said snuggling closer.

"Considering the circumstances, I think we did the best we could. It's not like there's a book on raising alicorns."

"I suppose. It certainly was a surprise the day he was born. I remember the look on your face when he was born." Luna smiled.

"In my defense, you told me that an alicorn was impossible."

"I told you it was highly improbable, but our union was unique so every possibility had to be considered no matter how unlikely." She said twirling her hoof on his chest. Spike lifted his claw and looked at his palm.

"I remember when the doctor gave him to me. He was barely bigger than my claw and light as a feather, but it felt like the weight of the world was on my shoulders at that moment." Spike said remembering holding his foal for the very first time.

"I felt it too. The immense responsibility that came with his birth, but I also knew that you'd be there with me the entire time. That's why it's important he has a mare by his side who can guide him down the right path. He needs someone to be there for him when he ascends the throne."

"Do you have somepony in mind?"

"What about Charity? We know she comes from a great family and she's almost as generous as her mother. Her benefits have helped eased the plight of many ponies throughout Canterlot. I feel that she'd make an ideal for our son, wouldn't you agree?"

"I don't know. Every time I look at her I get the feeling she's not being as generous as she let's on." Spike said putting his claws behind his head.

"What do you mean?"

"It's like she gives only because it's a mean to an end. When her mother was generous, it was because she truly wanted to be. I don't get that vibe from her."

"I really had my heart set on Charity too." Luna sighed.

"Really?"

"Of course, she's practically been bred to be a princess. She's graceful, beautiful, and most importantly, a virgin."

"A virgin? Is that really important?"

"I want my son to have a virgin bride. As a matter of fact, I think anypony who expects to marry my son should at least be pure."

"Considering how many mares our son sleeps with, I don't think it's fair to demand a virgin."

"Our son is a prince and the most eligible bachelor in the land. I don't think asking for a mare who has saved herself for the right stallion is asking much at all. It also shows restraint and good judgement."

"Is it really that important?"

"It's actually just one of many qualities I expect Chronos' bride to carry." Luna said summoning a scroll out of the air for Spike to read. He watched as the extremely long document rolled down the bed and all the way to the other side of the room.

"You've really given this some thought, huh?" Spike said looking over the exhaustive and detailed list.

"Of course! I refuse to give my son to anyone who doesn't meet my strict standards."

"Some of these are pretty ridiculous, Luna."

"What do you mean?"

"Unicorns can't have their horns to pointy."

"What if she pokes his eye out during a kiss?"

"A pegasus can't have a wingspan that's too wide."

"I don't want someone smacking my son in the face every time she tries to fly."

"What about this one? A crystal pony cannot shine too brightly."

"If the sun hits them, he could be blinded." Luna explained.

"What about this one?" Spike said tapping the list. " Earth ponies can't be too strong."

"He's sensitive, you know that!" Luna huffed.

"Our son has the libido of a rabbit, Luna. We went on vacation to Apploosa last year and all he did was practice his 'bareback riding' with the local mares. The chances of any earth pony actually hurting him are ridiculously slim."

"I'm just being careful."

"Luna, he's not a foal anymore. You can't treat him like a two year old forever."

"He will always be my baby! How can you even say something like that?"

"Luna, he's his own stallion. You can't protect him from the world by picking his bride. We've been over this before. He's not going to be your baby forever. You have to let him go at some point and if he gets married, it's going to be sooner rather than later." Spike leveled with her. He doubted Chronos' new bride would appreciate a mother in law hovering over him like a hawk.

"You're right about one thing, Spike. I can't watch over him." Luna smiled.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Spike asked.

"Oh nothing, I was just agreeing with you!" Luna chimed innocently avoiding his gaze. She couldn't let on about her true intentions for the arranged marriage or Spike would almost certainly ruin her plan.

"Anyway… I think we should trim down this list. I'll give you the virgin thing but instead of making it a requirement let's just say preferred, hmm?"

"If by preferred, you mean you'll give them a chance while I sit there silently judging them. Fine!" Spike just sighed as Luna broke their embrace and got up. He had just agreed to this arranged marriage and he was already regretting his decision. Unknown to the couple, a delicate, white ear was pressed against the door listening to their entire conversation.

Meanwhile in Ponyville

"This is the Happy Hourglass." Clover said unable to hide her disappointment. It was a rundown, wooden, white rectangle of a building. The outside was completely undecorated except for a neon blue and green sign with the name of the establishment. When she imagined the prince owning a bar, she was expecting something more elaborate.

"I know it's not much, but it has a rustic charm to it."

"And you say this place is popular?"

"Well, it has a different feel to it at night. You'll see. Let's head inside." Chronos said opening one of the double doors for her. She walked inside and found the interior to be tight and constraining. The bar was almost equal in size to the sitting area where a sparse number of booth lined the walls, along with a number of wooden chairs and tables. The only bright spot was the dance floor and stage area were made of polished wood. The lights above them were off, but the effect they had on the dance floor must have been magnificent.

"We're closed!" A brusque voice called out from a door next to the bar. A hulking red earth pony burst through the door looking around and spotting Clover. As he stepped towards her, he knocked tables and chairs aside as if they were nothing before stopping in front of her. His eyes were obscured by his brown bowl haircut, but his expression was clearly one of frustration and anger. Clover shook with fear as the mass of twitching muscle and fury stood over her .

"Down, boy! She's with me." Chronos called out.

"PC? You're early? I mean for you anyway." The stallion walked over to Chronos and grabbed him in a bear hug.

"It's nice to see you too, big guy." Chronos said as he felt him squeeze the air from his body. He looked over to his assistant who was standing stock still where she had been confronted. "Clover?"

"Aww, I'm really sorry about scaring your friend. You know how desperate these mares get when it comes to meeting you. You got to get mean or they don't take the hint." He explained. Chronos walked over to the pale mare who was still shaking in her tight black skirt. He put a leg around her neck which calmed her a little bit.

"Clever Clover, this is Red Hot. One of my best friends and bouncer of The Happy Hourglass. Despite his rather intimidating exterior, he's really quite the softy when you get to know him."

"It's nice to meet you. Sorry about earlier, CeeCee. I got a little carried away."

"CeeCee?" She said relaxing slightly.

"He likes to give people nicknames. It's hit and miss sometimes but always endearing."

"What do you mean 'hit and miss'?" The stallion said jumping in the prince's face.

"He also has a bit of a temper."

"Temper! I'll snap you like a twig!" He shouted as he shook with rage. Clover retreated behind Chronos who didn't seem to least be scared of angry behemoth who made look like him a toothpick with wings.

"Breathe, buddy. Remember your exercises." Chronos told him. The lumbering stallion stepped back and took a few deep breaths.

"Ten, nine, eight…. I'm on a calm, sunny beach. Whew! I think I'm good. Sorry, I blew up at you, PC." He chuckled as if he hadn't just made a serious threat against a member of royalty.

"Chronos, I think we should leave. It's not safe here." Clover whispered carefully.

"Where's Silvie?" He asked.

"He's in the back crunching numbers. I'll get him." Red said heading back through the door behind the bar. Clover decided now was the best time to get the prince out of here before anymore dangerous lunatics came out.

"We should get out of here while he's gone. Come on, Chronos." She said pulling him away.

"Did you forget that I own this place and everyone here is my friend?" Chronos told as he refused to budge.

"That brute just threatened your life. I'd hardly call him friendly."

"You do know I'm an alicorn, right? Besides, he threatens a lot of people and nothing happens… most of the time anyway." Clover was about to continue when Red came out with a bunch of new ponies in tow.

"You!" A silver pegasus stallion with dark blue glasses said glaring at him. His mane was brown and spiky

"Silvie, how are you? You're looking chipper as ever." Chronos beamed.

"If it isn't the worthless waste of dragon semen, I see you brought a new whore with you to guzzle our profits. It's bad enough you dragged those other two floozies here, who drank our finest liqueur absolutely free of charge. You have the nerve to bring another one." He quickly turned his attention to Clover as he adjusted the edge of his glasses. "Hmph, a little on the plain side. Did you lower your standards or were you just desperate enough to grab the closest thing with a vagina?"

"Back off, Silver Sword! At least, she's not a bitter virgin." The pegasus with red fur and amber eyes said standing up for Clover.

"Strelka, you really are something else. Considering your predilection for our whoremonger of a prince, why would you ever stand up for one of his playthings?" He said adjusting his glasses again as he stared at the mare with the long blue mane that covered the side of her head and went down her neck.

"Big brother, Silvie's being a jerk again. Make him stop!" The mare standing beside Strelka pleaded in a sweet, cute voice. The unicorn had a mane of red and white that swirled seamlessly down her neck into two ponytails on different sides of her neck. One was red and the other white. Her fur was a shade of light pink.

"I don't know, Pix. He's always like that. You know how he is." Red chuckled nervously. The mare expression went from friendly and innocent to sinister in a heartbeat as she locked her soft, pink eyes on him.

"I'm not asking anymore, big brother!" She said in the same sugary tone as before but Red knew better than to treat it as a suggestion again. He walked over to Silver Sword and immediately wrapped him in a headlock.

"What are you doing, you lummox? Release me at once!" The much smaller pegasus said flapping and struggling against his aggressor.

"Lay off and I'll let you go, Silvie!" He said increasing the pressure around his neck.

"Red! As your employer and oldest friend, I'm ordering you to release me this instant." He said in a strained voice.

Clover watched this scene in complete bewilderment. She could hardly believe the ponies arguing and bickering amongst each other right now were the prince's friends. She didn't know what to expect, but between the threats of physical violence and harsh insults, she didn't know what to make of the group.

"Alright, guys. Settle down. I want to introduce you guys to Clover. She's different from anypony I've ever brought to the bar." Everyone stopped fighting and looked at him before turning their attention to the mare beside him.

"Really?" They all shouted.

"I even popped the question. She hasn't given me an answer, but I think she's going to say yes." He said pulling her close to him.

"You did?" They all said in disbelief.

"I'm still deciding though. It's such a huge, life altering choice after all."

"So you're really serious about this?" Strelka asked him.

"Of course, I am. I've been planning this for a long time. You guys know that this means everything to me." Chronos said.

"Wait a second! You've been planning to get married?" Silver Sword asked.

"Marriage? Who said anything about getting hitched? Honestly, you guys sound like my parents."

"Uhh… Aren't you two tying the knot, PC?" Red scratched his head in confusion.

"No, why would I ever get married?" Chronos told him.

"Oh, thank Celestia!" Strelka sighed in relief.

"I just want to impregnate her." Strelka nearly fell over before Pixie could catch her.

"Have you completely flipped your gourd, Chronos? I ought to beat you senseless for scaring her like that?" Pixie barked at him.

"What are you talking about? I've told you all about this before. Remember when I brought Charity here?"

"How could I forget the most perfect mare in existence gracing my bar with her presence?" Silver Sword sighed as a smile crossed his face.

"Perfect? You're kidding me, right? All she did was criticize and complain about everything and everyone. I was two seconds away from knocking her block off from the moment she stepped through the door. I almost went after her myself after what she did to Chronos." Pixie interjected.

"You would have done no such thing!" Silver and Pixie Stix just glared at each other for a moment.

"Hmph! Your taste in mares is as bad as ever." Pixie said before she returned her attention to Strelka.

"Yeah, she poured an entire bottle of Apple Family Cider on your lap. What a waste!" Red sighed.

"You guys aren't remembering the important part. Pixie asked me why I put up with her and I told you all about my plan, remember?"

"Oh yeah, I remember now! You wanted to make a bunch of super foals or something. We assumed you were just rambling, PC."

"Well, I was serious. I've selected Clover and Charity for that purpose."

"You can spread your vile DNA as much as you want, but don't you dare taint my precious Charity." Silver Sword proclaimed.

"You know she doesn't even know your real name. She called you Silver Spear all night, remember?" Pixie scoffed.

"I found the term endearing. It was kind of like a nickname."

"You're such an idiot." The unicorn said shaking her head.

"So you plan on having PC's kid, CeeCee?" Red asked.

"I am considering it." Clover admitted.

"And what exactly do you hope to gain from such a relationship? You clearly wouldn't agree to this unless you got something out of it. What did he offer you?" Sliver Sword asked

"He promised me anything I could want, but I'm not going to do it for personal gain. I want to do it because I believe in the future he hopes to create."

"Well put, Clover. That's exactly why I chose you. She's intelligent, yet selfless enough to do it for all the right reasons. One of the many traits I hope to pass on with my plan."

"What traits do you hope to pass on with Charity? I don't think the future needs anymore stuck up rich bitches." Pixie commented.

"You really should curse, Pix. It's unladylike." Red cautioned her.

"Really, big brother? Where do you get off lecturing me?" She said in that super cutesy tone that seemed to terrify him.

"Hmph! If you behaved more like Charity, you might be able to keep a boyfriend without scaring him off." Silver Sword pointed out as he adjusted his glasses. He suddenly felt one of his wings being tweaked.

"You really ought to be more careful, Silvie." Pixie giggled as the glow in her horn disappeared.

"Ow! You did that on purpose." He said rubbing the affected area.

"Charity has a strong personality, but she's also incredibly generous. I feel she has much to offer." Chronos pointed out.

"I doubt your parents are thrilled about this." Strelka said recovering from her shock.

"My parents don't know about this."

"What about your dad? He always manages to uncover your little schemes." Silver Sword pointed out.

"He's the least of my worries. It's my mother we have to worry about. She finally got my father's consent and they're going to arrange a marriage for me."

"An arranged marriage!" Strelka shouted.

"Yep! A month from now there'll be a huge competition to decide which mare will be my bride."

"B-but what about your plan?" Clover asked.

"I'm afraid it'll be over if I get married. That's why I'm here I need you guys to help me find a way out of this." Silver Sword just laughed at his plight.

"Hmph! I think it's a great idea. A lecher like you getting married sounds absolutely fantastic. I feel sorry for the unlucky-"

"Pixie!" Strelka shouted.

"Aahh!" Silver Sword shouted as he felt his other wing being twisted unnaturally. He went down reaching for his sore appendage.

"I told you to be more careful, Silvie." Pixie said innocently whistling.

"So.. much … hate!" Silver Sword growled at her.

"I don't know about this, PC. Your parents are pretty smart. It's not going to be easy to stop them from doing something."

"What if we didn't stop them?" Clover suggested to everypony's surprise.

"What are you talking about?" Chronos asked.

"If you think about it, this could be an amazing opportunity. Hundreds of mares from all over Equestria will be gathered in one spot. It would probably be your best chance to choose more suitable partners for your legacy."

"There's only one problem though. They're going to be there to marry him. No one's going to go for his scheme if they got a shot at marrying him." Red pointed out.

"I think she's onto something, Red. All we have to do is wait till they lose that chance." Chronos added.

"What are you talking about Chronos?" Pixie asked.

"My mother is extremely overprotective. She won't just let anypony marry me and that means once she decides they're not right for me…."

"They'll be ripe for you to swoop in. Once they realize they don't have any chance of marrying you, it'll be easy to convince them to join you." Pixie finished his statement.

"You forgot one little detail, your highness." Silver Sword said struggling to his hooves, despite his wings being in an extreme amount of pain.

"What's that?" Pixie asked threateningly. Silver Sword just chuckled at her.

"Somepony's got to win. You're going to get married and no matter how many mares you convince they'll all desert you, even Strelka will have to give up."

"Shut up!" Pixie said using her magic to yank both his wings.

"Ow! Hey, the pain is gone." He said flapping a bit.

"I relocated them. If you want me to undo it, keep talking."

"He's right. Unless we make sure no one wins, it won't work." Clover sighed.

"What if you won, Clover?" Chronos said catching her off guard.

"Huh? W-what are you implying?"

"I'm thinking if the winner was in on it. It would let the mares who join us now that I'm in full control of the situation. In addition to that, you could delay the wedding indefinitely allowing me to stay single. It's perfect!"

"You said you weren't going to marry her!" Strelka stomped her hoof.

"I'm not, but as long as my parents think I am, it'll leave me free to do as I wish without their interference."

"I don't know, Chronos. You're asking me to lie to Princess Luna and Sir Spike. I don't know if I can do that."

"She's right, PC. Your dad is pretty quick. He always knows what anybody's up to. He's got those crazy eyes?" Red reminded him.

"He's going to look into Clover's eyes and the game is up." Pixie sighed.

"So it's true? That Sir Spike can read minds and that's how he won Princess Luna's heart." Clover said. Everyone just looked at her as if she were nuts.

"That's so stupid I'm not even going to dignify it with an insult." Silver Sword told her.

"Give her a break, guys! She doesn't know. It's less psychic powers and more learning to read body movements and subtle tells. He doesn't read minds, Clover. He reads bodies." Chronos explained.

"Are you sure?" Clover asked.

"Of course, I am. You have to admit it's more believable than mind reading. The old dragon is clever, but he can no more read minds than you or I." The prince laughed.

"So how you going to trick him?" Red asked. Chronos just chuckled.

"It's quite simple, Red. We need to make Clover believe the lie."

"Believe the lie?" The brawny stallion said scratching his head.

"If Clover believes the lie unconditionally, her body won't show any tells and my father will trust every word she says and if my father believes it, my mother will too."

"Wait a minute! How do you feel about Chronos, Clover?" Strelka asked.

"I guess I look up to him and I'm certainly attracted to him. I wouldn't exactly say I love him though." She admitted.

"Have you ever been in love with anyone?" Pixie asked.

"I can't say I have. I wouldn't even know what it's like."

"It's like every time you're around him your heart beats faster and even though he says stupid, hurtful things all the time you know it comes from a good place. He lashes out because he doesn't hide his feelings and you respect that so much." Pixie said describing the feeling as best she could.

"Whoa! Sounds like your sister is going to scare another loser, Red." Silver laughed until he felt both his wings being yanked out of place.

"You're right about the loser part!" She told him as he writhed on the floor in agony.

"Why does it have to be her? I could do it." Strelka volunteered. "I already have feelings for you so it would be easier for me." Chronos thought about it as he looked at her.

"Hmm… I don't think so. You're too close to me. Your emotions would get the better of you in a high pressure situation. Clover has the ability to remain cold and detached. My parents don't know her either so she's a total unknown. I can work with that."

"Fine! Do whatever you want!" Strelka said pushing her way past him as she left.

"Wait, Strelka!" Pixie said giving the prince a dirty look as she chased after her.

"Back to the matter at hoof, how do you propose to make Clover fall in love with you? She doesn't even know if she wants to have your foal? At this rate, you might as well actually marry her." Silver Sword joked.

"Don't confuse the issue, Silvie. The matter of protecting my legacy comes first, even before the legacy itself. You do present an interesting question though. Is possible to create true love or something similar in another pony? The good news is there's a spell that comes to mind." Chronos sighed as he realized who he had to go through to get it. "The bad news is it belongs to Twilight Sparkle."

"You mean Princess Twilight? She's my idol." Clover said trying to suppress her inner fanfilly.

"That's nice for you, but our dear prince has a rather tumultuous history with the Princess of Friendship." Silver Sword pointed out.

"What do you mean?" Clover asked.

"She was my old magic teacher. Suffice it to say, I didn't graduate because of…. philosophical differences."

"But I thought you said you didn't graduate because you were smarter than her, PC." Red remembered.

"What!" Clover said staring at Chronos intensely.

"You don't understand, Clover. Her entire curriculum was a joke. Her style of teaching wasn't the least bit challenging. It was borderline insulting!"

"Hmph! If you want my help, you're going to apologize!" Clover demanded.

"You can't be serious!"

"If you don't agree, I'm gone and you can find somepony else."

Chronos thought about it for a moment and realized there was no one else. He had asked a lot of his new assistant and finding another mare would be nigh impossible. This plain little mare who was no more than a maid had become absolutely indispensable.

"Very well, Clover! I'll apologize on one condition."

"My agreement to your legacy, I assume?"

"And the plan to protect it as well. I'm putting my pride on the line by apologizing to her. I doubt she'll even accept it. We didn't part ways on the best terms." Clover took her time as she considered his offer.

"You understand what he's asking right? He's not only asking you to go along with an insane plan to get out of marriage, but he also wants you to bear his children. Is an apology over a matter that doesn't concern you really worth that much to you?" Silver Sword asked.

"I'll agree to your terms, Chronos, but I have another condition. Princess Twilight must accept your apology!"

"Are you sure, Clover? Any objections after this will be meaningless. Wherever I lead us, you will be honor bound to follow."

"Then I leave my fate in your hooves, your highness." She said bowing before him.

"I should let you know that from here on out things get serious." Chronos smiled deviously.
