It was a warm, sunny day in Ponyville. I had only just woken up but felt completely refreshed and wide awake, with Snow Sweet by my side sleeping quietly. It truly was the perfect morning. "Look out, Scootaloo!" a young filly cried, moments before a thundering crash rang out at the front of the house. I got out of bed and walked downstairs, what in Equestria had happened? I opened the door to see two fillies, one yellow earth pony and one white unicorn, standing over an injured orange pegasus. "Are you all okay?" I asked. The yellow one twisted around suddenly and looked at me. "Oh! Ahm sorry if we woke y'all, my friends and ah were trying stunt jumping an' one of us got hurt". Stunt jumping? Seriously? "Why on earth would you be stunt jumping? You're still young fillies, you could, you did, get seriously hurt!". The yellow one scrunched her face into a scowl, "Hey, ahm a big pony! We were stunt jumping to earn our stuntmare cutie marks". The three fillies gasped and turned to look at their newly-obtained cutie marks, but found none, and looked down in disappointment. "Anyway, are you okay?-" "Scootaloo!" announced the yellow earth pony, "and this'un's Sweetie Belle and ahm Apple Bloom, together we're-", the two unharmed ponies yelled in unison, "THE CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS!". Ow, my ears! "Ooohh, what's all the yelling about?" called a drowsy Snow Sweet from the upstairs balcony. "It's nothing, Snow, I'll be up in a minute" . She looked around the Cutie Mark Crusaders and her eyes widened when she saw Scootaloo in a crumpled heap. "Crimson, bring her in here!"

"So what's your name, young filly?" Snow Sweet asked Scootaloo. "My name is Scootaloo". Snow Sweet placed a few drops of disinfectant onto a cotton ball. "And how did you hurt yourself?" Snow asked without looking away from the graze on Scootaloo's knee. "Well... Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle an' me were trying out stunt jumping to try and earn our cutie marks-aaooww!", Scootaloo winced painfully when Snow Sweet placed the disinfecting cotton ball on the graze. "Sorry, Scootaloo, can't risk an infection, can we?". Snow looked at the upset pegasus and hugged her tightly like a mother would her child. "It hurts now, kiddo, but it'll feel better in no time, okay? she soothed. Scootaloo looked up at her and nodded weakly. "Will some ice-cream make you feel better?". Scootaloo looked directly at her and nodded her head vigorously. "How about you two?" I asked, "want some of Snow Sweet's specially made ice-cream?". The other two crusaders looked up and accepted the offer with a smile and a nod. "There's a ball in the garden girls while you wait". The three ran into the garden laughing and talking. "You're really good with kids, Snow!" I complimented. "Me? Meh, it's nothing. It's really not that hard, I'd be pretty happy if someone cleaned my cuts and gave me specially made, expensive, ice-cream", Snow giggled. She carefully scooped out two spoonfuls into three seperate bowls and balanced them across her arms. "Don't I get any?" I joked. "Well, if you behave well, maybe later". The three fillies cheered and ran over to Snow Sweet to claim their frozen treats. Snow really was good with kids, I hope she'll be this good with our kids. (I blushed vividly at the last thought). The Crusaders sat down and ate their ice-cream quickly, then convulsed roughly, likely brain-freeze. Snow was noticably laughing at the children, who, (after temporary incapacitation), began to laugh to. I had work to attend to, (on a Sunday!), at Carousel Boutique. So I went to say goodbye to Snow Sweet and her three new friends. I pushed the door open in the middle of the conversation about a 'theme song'. "I have to go now, Snow. I'll be back in a few hours, have fun with the Cutie Mark Crusaders". Snow Sweet turned stood up and turned to face me. She walked over and pulled me into a hug. She broke the hug and kissed me on the muzzle. "Bye, Crimson, have fun" she waved and went back to sit with the Crusaders, all of whom were now giggling and covering their faces as if they saw something they shouldn't. I tried to frown disapprovingly but I found their stifled laughter funny myself and I chuckled lightly.

I knocked on the lavishly decorated door leading to the interior of the Boutique. "On my way, hold on a moment, dear" called a refined, upper-class voice. Light knocks came from inside, gradually getting louder until the door swung open. "Ah, you must be the stallion I hired for my laborous tasks, do come in, darling". I walked inside, to find the interior just as gorgeous as the outside. "So where do you want my assistance, missus-" "Rarity, darling. You can refer to me as Miss, or Rarity or Miss Rarity" she stated, rather frustrated. "Okay" I shrugged, "Where do you want my help... Miss Rarity". She looked upstairs and began to walk upwards, "Up here, darling. I need assistance-"

"Putting up banners? Miss Rarity I do laborous work, why such an easy task?" I questioned. "I am not going up on the roof, Mr. Dream, I am a lady, and to do such a rough task is ruffian-like in nature... no offense, darling" she quipped. "Fine, fine. Hand me the banners and I'll get to it". I balanced carefully on the balcony ledge to reach the the far left side of the building. It'd be a quick job, might as well make it quicker. "So, do you know the Cutie Mark Crusaders?" I asked, I wanted to know if they had any notoriety. "Oh, so you've met them too? Yes, darling, I am quite familiar with the *ahem* Cutie Mark Crusaders. In fact, my little sister is a founding member". "Sweetie Belle?" "Yes, darling. Doesn't she have smashing hair? I styled it for her myself" she said proudly. "Yeah, it's cute". She gasped. "Ohoho. Quite the charmer, aren't you, Mr... Crimson Dream?" she said nervously. "Me? Oh no. I only have eyes for my special somepony, Snow Sweet", I stopped for a moment in brief thought, I hope her and the CMC were okay. "Anyway, this side should be done" I said, knocking the nail in with a quick hoof slam. Onto the other side. I got off the ledge and walked to the other side and stood on the ledge, careful not to slip. "Soooo... how did you two meet? Rarity asked casually. "Well, my friend Mana Springs has a marefriend who had a friend who was single, as was I, on Hearts and Hooves Day of all days. So we met up at Sugarcube Corner, talked for hours and went home to her place and told her what I thought about her". Rarity shifted uncomfortably. "Aha... well, then what, if you don't mind a mare prying". Might as well tell her. "I told her I feel complete when I'm around her, how I feel like the luckiest stallion in Equestria to have her as my special somepony, which was genuine. If I could I would spend every living second with her if I could". Rarity sighed in a swooning fashion, "You certainly have a way with words, Crimson. Oh, may I call you Crimson as an informality?" she asked. "Sure, I'm done now anyway, so I'll be going". She stepped outside to inspect my work. She analysed the quality of my work and nodded happily. "Fine work, Crimson. Here is your well-deserved payment". I took the small pouch of bits and placed them in my satchel. "Thank you, Rarity" I smiled. I opened the door to Snow Sweet's house to find Snow and the CMC sat on the wool carpet talking and giggling. "Hey Snow" I called. "Crimson!" she replied happily. She walked over and placed a hoof over my shoulder, pressing her head against my neck. I returned the hug by place a hoof over her shoulder. The CMC watched on, giggling quietly. "Hey Crimson" Scootaloo swooned jokingly, pressing her hooves together and resting on them between her shoulder. Sweetie Belle frowned and jabbed Scootaloo sharply, "Don't joke like that, it's sweet" she sighed dreamily. Snow Sweet blushed lightly, "We were just discussing matters" she said brightly. "How nice, anway I'm gonna lie down for a bit. I wanna be wide awake for when me, Parasol and Mana Springs camp outside GamePony for the new Canterlot Arena 3". Snow Sweet nodded once, "Sure, do whatcha want. Just make sure you're not home too late". I laid down on the couch and shut my eyes.

"Shh! Shh! He'll wake up!" someone distant whispered, followed by quiet giggles and suppressed laughter. I looked up quickly. Luckily no-one was doing anything on or around me. The living room was slightly illuminated by the bright kitchen light. I sat up and looked around, it was dark out. Were those Cutie Mark Crusaders still here? I stood up fully and began to walk towards the kitchen, "Hey! What are you up to?" I called. Gasps of various pitch were emitted and the three fillies stood up and turned to face me. "Er, nothing. Crimson, er, uh, SIR!" Sweetie Belle saluted nervously, still smirking from her previous activities. "Uh, huh" I grunted flatly, "So what exactly does 'nothing' include for me not to wake up to see?". The fillies were definitely up to something as they shifted, looked away and had infrequent gasps of laughter. "Well, we were, um, talking... about... stuff. And, um...". Stuff? "What do you mean stuff?" I asked, suspicious. "Well, we, kinda thought about, babies, and, um, what your's and Snow's would look like" she finished flatly. Scootaloo and Apple Bloom laughed uproariously while Sweetie Belle flushed bright red and looked away, giggling. My face felt incredibly heated in realisation of what these three were talking about. "Y-y-young fillies l-like you shouldn't be talking about such a... grown-up process" I said, feeling incredibly uncomfortable talking about such a manner with three small fillies who hadn't even matured enough to get their cutie marks. The Cutie Mark Crusaders laughed rambunctiously while I stood still, mortified that these young fillies who I just met were already talking about Snow Sweet's and my offspring. "*ahem* Where is Snow Sweet?" I asked, desperately trying to change the subject. Apple Bloom tried to stop laughing by condensing them into little huffs, "She, aha, went upstairs a few, hah, minutes ago!". "Thanks", I walked away, leaving them to their laughter.

I pushed the half-open door to Snow Sweet's bedroom open. She was half under the bed searching around for something. "Hey, Snow, what're you doing?". She replied "Oh, just looking for something, you seen the colouring pencils I bought for my drawing pad?". "No, but, would I be able to talk to you about something?". She pulled her upper half out from under the bed and looked at me strangely. "Well, sure, whats up, Crimson?" She asked in a concerned tone of voice. "Well, downstairs, the CMC said they were talking about, um, well, our kid. And earlier you told me you girls were 'discussing matters', is there a chance of there being a correlation?" I asked nervously. Her face turned a strong shade of red, but she didn't smile or smirk or do anything that would be deemed childish in this situation. I moved up closer next to her and placed an arm around her gently, and she place her head onto my shoulder. "What's up, Snow? Is something wrong?". She sighed lightly, "Well, don't you ever think of kids, or having a family? or m...ridge...". I was taken aback, I didn't think she was serious when talking to the Cutie Mark Crusaders. "Well of course I do, Snow. I'd love to have a little kid to call my... our own, as well as a family. In fact, now that I mention it, you haven't met my parents, and I haven't met yours, Snow. I just think we should settle down with each other first, we've been together about two months, and although I do love you unconditionally-" "What?" she asked suddenly. "What's wrong?", what did I say? "Say that last part again" she said quietly. "I love you unconditionally". Her teal eyes began to sparkle gently, like whenever she gets emotional or upset, but I don't think she'd be upset after I declared my love for her. "I..." she stopped to look directly into my eyes, "I love you too, Crimson". I leaned in to kiss her. Fireworks set off in my stomach as I proved to my (very) special somepony that she was the only mare I wanted in my life. My mind was numb, my heart was rapidly beating and my arms coiled around Snow Sweet, to keep her and never let her go. We both held on to each other tightly to keep ourselves together as a spark ignited into a blaze of passion and love. We stopped after only a minute but it felt like an eternity. "I love you, Snow Sweet". "I love you too, Crimson".

I was amazed and confused by what just happened. The kiss me and Snow Sweet shared was just mindblowing, it felt like we were now one, complete happy form. But I feel incredibly different, but in a good way, kind of. It felt like I was (literally) full of happiness and love, as if it was coursing through my body, it felt great but strange at the same time. Snow and I were laid down on the bed, still in each other's embrace. "Snow? Do you feel, you know, different?". She stopped and thought for a moment, "Hm, well, now that you mention it, I feel great, as if everything that was troublesome has been washed away". She sighed happily and rested her head on my shoulders. I used my left hoof to run small circles on her arm, making her giggle slightly. "You know those kids are still downstairs" I chuckled mildly. "They'll be okay for another ten minutes" she shrugged, "Besides, I'd rather be up here with you-" she looked up into my eyes and smiled "my love". I was about to lean in and kiss her again but she already held my face still with her left hoof and kissed back. The same, amazing feelling occured, the explosion of passion and love that was like nirvana. I wanted it to last longer this time so I removed one hoof and held the back of her head, and pulled her closer. Our eyes were shut and all that I could think of is how much I wanted this mare and how unfathomable my love was for her. We held each other together for a good few minutes before pulling away to stare deep into each other's eyes. "You still have plans with Mana Springs and Parasol" she said, with a hint of sadness. "It's okay, I suck at Canterlot Arena anyway" . Snow shook her head, "No, no. You need to keep your promises. Besides I'll be here when you get back". She smiled lightly on the last sentence. "Ok, Snow. I'll be back as soon as possible, just let me gain some composure" I smiled. "Good! I'm gonna go back to tend to the Cutie Mark Crusaders, make sure to come say goodbye, okay?", with that she walked off. I rolled over in bed and stared up at the ceiling. I've never felt anything that fulfilling, passionate or loving before, it was just so amazing, yet so strange, I had to find out about it. What was the time?, I glanced over to the wall clock: 7.32pm. I still had plenty of time. I'll head over to Twilight's Library. I got up, still in a euphoric state from a few moments ago, and headed downstairs.

I headed into the kitchen were Snow Sweet was talking quietly to the CMC. The three looked at me and waved. I waved back. I turned to Snow Sweet, "What are you talking about?". She turned to me and said, "Just about children and how they came to be, don't worry, it's the Filly-safe version". I laughed quietly and went over to sit with them. "So", Snow continued, "when a mare and a stallion decide they want to have a baby, they share a special hug, a kiss and a few months later, Princess Celestia will bring the child from the mother's body". The three children "Wow'd" simultaneously and began quietly chattering amongst themselves until they turned back to Snow Sweet. "So, mah momma has met with Princess Celestia?" Apple Bloom asked, awestruck. Snow giggled to herself, "Yes, sweetie. She's met everyone of us". The truth about how ponies pro-created was gonna hit these innocent fillies hard. "I'm gonna go now, Snow. I'll be back soon". "Okay, I love you, Crimson", she turned to smile at me. "I love you too, Snow". With that I gave her a kiss, fairly quick so I didn't enter nirvana and destroy the fillies' innocence, but long enough to express my love for Snow Sweet. Instead of laughing, the CMC all looked on and 'aww-ed'. "That's so sweet!" Sweetie Belle sighed dreamily. As I walked away, I noticed something different about Snow Sweet, she seemed to have a dim, white aura about her, almost illuminating her body. It definitely had to have been related to the state of nirvana, and I was gonna find out about it.

The night air wasn't that bad as I walked over to Twilight's library, I had other things on my mind. I just couldn't get Snow out of my head, she just made me feel so complete and happy and loved. Anyway, I had to find this out. I knocked on the Library door three times. Light padding come from inside and the door opened. "Hi, welcome to the Ponyville Library" said a small purple-scaled dragon. "Hi, is Twilight here?". He nodded, "Uh, yeah. She's got company though, some purple and green pony who wanted to ask her about some kind of spell, I dunno". The dragon lead me into the Library and took me to the upper tier, where I found Mana Spring attempting to cast something, but he was having great trouble with it. "Hi Mana, Twilight" I greeted. I must've distracted him because his horn blasted out a bolt of magic and sent him flying back. "You alright?" Twilight and I asked in unison. "Yeah, jus' a liddle bang'd up", he was highly disoriented. "Sorry, bro" I apologised, smiling nervously. "Ids awlride, ah'll be oak-aye" he mumbled before falling backwards. "He'll be fine, just drained. He was trying a portal spell which even took me awhile to learn. Anyway, what can I help you with?", she smiled kindly. "Do you... have a book on... passion?" I asked, my face burning. "Well, I, uh... what for? Actually, nevermind that, I don't wanna know. It's over by the "Special Somepony" section". I scanned the shelves, passed by a few unsavoury novels until I found "Love Genetics: Things You And Your Special Somepony Should Know". I opened it up and found a relatable article, dubbed Cloudhaze. It said how pegasai have been graced with the ability to soar through the heavens and are able to feel (sometimes overwhelming) feelings of extreme passion which they can pass on to they're special somepony when making affectionate contact. It was under the category "Affection Chemistry", I looked up the Earthbound pony variation and discovered it was called Earthen Catalyst, which uses the earth ponies natural-born endurance, hardiness and emotional capabilities to drastically improve the effect of Cloudhaze and Lunar Syphon, (a drastic surge of magic in unicorns due to their connections with the stars and moon, which can empower all magic cast for a long while. Sometimes, when Earthen Catalyst is combined with Cloudhaze or Lunar Syphon. It can create Heartsoar, an intense, (sometimes overwhelming), sensation of ultimate bliss (nirvana) which is only achievable if the two ponies love each other truly, which not only increase the potency of the Lunar Syphon/Cloudhaze, but create a bond which fuses the two souls together, making them almost inseperable. I was torn from my daydream when a pony behind me cleared their throat. "Sooo..." Mana Springs enunciated with a smirk "whatcha doing at the... Special Somepony section?" My face was on fire, "Erm, well, nothing, why?" I stammered. "Oh nothing, just wondering if you had found the *ahem* Heartsoar section". He knew!? "H-how did you know?" I asked stuttering. "Well, if I'm honest, Earth ponies are the best for relationships, not just because of their amazing Affection Chemistry capabilities but also because of their conviction and will, which is one of the reasons I fell for Candy. I first found out about Heartsoar a few weeks after we met. Still amazes me now. I take it you just found out about it... recently" he questioned with a humoured grin. "Well, yeah. Yeah. It was amazing Mana, really it was", I paused in warm recollection of the traspired events. "Don't worry about getting Canterlot Arena 3 tonight, you go back to relax with Snow. I'm sure that even though I'm the only pony near right now, the only one you can keep your mind on is Snow Sweet. Am I right?" He was. "...Maybe...". He laughed heartily and smacked me on the back, "Go on home, bro. I'm gonna be a while. Portals are hard".

I pushed Snow Sweet's house door open to find it incredibly quiet. "Snow?" I called. "I'm in the kitchen, Crimson, the Crusaders went home". I walked into the kitchen to find her sat down reading something. "What's that?" I asked. "It's a book about... something", she covered the page with her arm. I read the title: "Heartsoar: The Chronicles Of The Ponies Who Have Transcended Into Bliss". A tad over-the-top but true. "You wanna... head upstairs?" I asked casually. Her head shot up, her expressionless face slowly turned into a smile. "Definitely".

We were sat side by side on Snow Sweet's soft hay bed. I turned over to face her, so I could stare into her beautiful eyes. I ran a hoof down the side of her face, eliciting a sigh of contentment. I put my free arm behind her and pulled her closer towards me. I smiled nervously, "You wanna-" "More than anything". She pushed herself towards me and we wrapped our arms around each other. The kiss hammered home and the Heartsoar phase began. I pushed myself as close towards her as possible, wanting to be able to be as far in her embrace as she was in mine. Both of my arms were now holding her close to me, as were both of her's. It was ecstasy. Even with my eye's shut I could see a blinding white light that was pulsating rapidly and beginning to waver with multiple colours. I felt a pressure building up at the back of my head. Suddenly, Snow Sweet broke free of the kiss. "Crimson, I know we aren't married, and we have only been together about two months...but-" "Yes" I replied, knowing what the question was. "Are you sure?" she asked, nervous but noticably excited. "I'd want nothing more than to show you how much I love and want you", I assured her lovingly. She sighed happily and smiled, but the smile suddenly turned into a much more seductive gesture.

She got up from the side-laying position and rolled over to kneel above me, I couldn't help but feel a surge of energy when I saw her in a different light: loving, maternal mare to seductive, thrilling marestress. She leaned towards to me slowly, while twisting her hips side to side at the same speed, using both hooves to hold my face still. I looked directly into her half-lidded eyes and noticed a change, her kind teal eyes took on a more deep, lustful dark green appearance. "Tell me, Crimson" she whispered in a tone drenched in desire, "What is it that makes you want me the most?". I was at a loss for words. I opened my mouth to speak but no words came out. A fire had ignited in my heart and my passions took control, "Everything" I replied deeply, "I love everything about you, I want you more than anything because you are you, and you are amazing". She smiled the same lustful smile. "Oh, really?" she asked in a breathy tone, "Prove it". I quickly bolted my arm's behind her and pulled her towards me. I kissed her in the passionate haze that was Heartsoar and she kissed me back. She threw her arms around my neck for a better grip and pulled herself upwards slightly, to put us at eye level. I moved my right arm downwards from her upper back to her lower back, and traced the tip of my hoof up along her back, making her sigh and shiver. She broke the kisss, still knelt above me, "That... ooohhh... feels good, C-Crimson". I smiled, didn't take long to break the seductive side and bring out her erotic side. Time to take control. I rolled over and went on knees, careful not to crush Snow. "D-dont st-stop, Crimsooonnn" she exhaled. I lowered myself down, using my frontal arms for support, and kissed the side of her muzzle, travelling to the side of her face, and began to move downwards from her neck. I was halfway down her neck when I bit down softly, eliciting another moan from Snow Sweet. I moved downwards, planting gentle kisses all the way, until I reached her stomach. She placed her hooves on the back of my head, "S-stop, I-*oh*, I'm ready now". Wow, she was more excited about this then I was. "Ok, Snow". I worked my way back up and placed my hooves on either side of her. She looked up at me, her big, green eyes twinkling in the candlelight, "P-p-please, don't keep me waiting". "Okay, just let me know if I'm hurting you, okay?" . I really didn't want to hurt her, it was my first time and I wanted it to go smoothly. "Okay, I'll be okay, just hurry... please?". Didn't want to keep her waiting. I pushed inwards slowly, familiarising myself with her limits. She gasped sharply, but then shut her eyes and moaned loudly. I pulled out, then back inwards, careful not to push too hard. No pain, just another pleasured gasp. "Um, a little harder, please?" she asked sweetly. "Okay, Snow". I pushed in a little deeper with slightly more force, I was almost completely inside when Snow Sweet gasped sharply. "A-are you okay?" I asked, concerned. "No, nonononono. Do that again, please" she replied quickly. So I did, she gasped again. "Ooohh, sweet Celestia" she moaned blissfully. I must be doing it right. I pushed back in, beginning a rhythmic sequence, not too fast, not too slow. Each push sending electric pulses throughout my body. I tried keeping it in but I couldn't. "Ooohh, Snow...". She moaned passionately, "K-keep going, Crimson, please, I-I'm close". I moved faster, feeling a pressure build up. "Snow... I-I'm". My mind was blank. The pressure got larger and larger. "C-Crimson, g-go f-faster!" Snow Sweet called out, coiling her arms around me. I braced myself on the headboard. I moved quicker, Snow was panting rapidly, I couldn't hold it in much longer. The pressure exploded. "Snow, I'm- ooohh..." "Crimson, I can't- aaauuuoohh!"

The room was filled with heavy breathing and sighing. My upper body was giving out so I lowered myself ontop of Snow Sweet slowly and careful not to crush her. I moved my arms behind her and embraced her firmly, she did the same. "Are you alright?" I asked between gasps. "I feel better then I ever have, Crimson. That was... amazing" she replied softly. "I'm sorry I didn't last long, i-it was my first time". "Mine too". I looked at her. "Really?" I asked quizzically. She looked back. "Yeah, and that was the best first time ever", she laughed gently. "I love you, Snow Sweet". I pulled her into a kiss, the previous Heartsoar sensation didn't occur, but instead a warm and loving feel coursed through me instead. Gaining some energy back, I lifted my left hoof up and gently stroked her (now messy) hair. It was slightly damp with sweat. She sighed sweetly, closing her eyes. "Crimson?" "Yeah?" "I love you too".
