Author's Note: Well here we are another chapter. I want to thank everypony for reading up until this point and I want to apologize if my last chapter was a little…bland. Anyway we see that Midnight Star has made his move on Twilight...could he actually succeed? To bomerguy9, please calm down. Thanks for defending my story but remember, I don't take negative reviews to heart. (And please remember to love and tolerate others opinions Please?) I actually use them to find ways to improve my story (if they are detailed). I want to give a shout out to freerider2901 for giving me some help (FOR FREE BTW THANKS!) I want to thank everypony else for giving me so much positive reviews and I want to thank all the other ponies who didn't give me positive reviews but still took the time to read my work before coming to a conclusion. Don't worry guy's I will do a time warp later on because I know some of you can't wait to see Jean's sister arrive and things like that. Right now I am working on the next chapter right now so I can upload it by Thursday (I wanted to release two chapters before my time consuming classes start).
As always Everypony Enjoy this Chapter. Chapter 20 coming up Thursday!
PS. Next chapter I will explain the stages of a herd marriage. Also if you have an ideas I would love to hear them.
…6 hours later at Sugar Cube Corner…
Twilight stared deeply at her donut that lay on a napkin in front of her. She let out a sigh as she magically brought the donut to her mouth.
"HEY TWILIGHT! WHAT'S WRONG?" Pinkie yelled causing her to magically launch the donut to the ceiling.
"Hey Twilight, you know you're supposed to eat the donut right? Not throw them on th-"
"Pinkie, you made me do that!" Twilight yelled as she turned to face a smiling Pinkie Pie who was standing behind her.
"No I didn't. I can't do magic. Everypony knows Earth ponies can't do magic…or can they?" Pinkie said with a somewhat confused look on her face. Twilight rolled her eyes in anger and turned away from her. She then let out another sigh.
"What's wrong Twilight you've been going 'Sigh' for 6 hours?" Pinkie asked as she sat down next to her. Twilight slowly placed her head on the table and closed her eyes.
"I don't want to talk about it Pinkie." Twilight said sadly. Pinkie frowned for second before an idea popped into her head.
"Is it because Jean is with somepony else right now?" Pinkie asked as a smile slowly formed on her face. Twilight opened her eyes and blushed as she shook her head no.
"Yes it is! I knew it! You can't stand having to share him right?" Pinkie asked as she hopped up and down.
"Pinkie, keep your voice down you're attracting too much attention." Twilight said in a whisper as Mrs. Cake stared at them from behind the counter.
…Outside Sugar Cube Corner…
"Um, Midnight? You've been pacing back and forth like that for three hours. Are you ever going to go in there and talk to her?" The pegasus asked. Midnight was too caught up in his thoughts to realize that his friend asked him a question.
"Midnight!" The Pegasus yelled.
"What the hay do you want?" Midnight yelled back.
"Go in there and talk to her. This could be your only chance to talk to her." The Pegasus said. Midnight Star opened his mouth to say something but thought against it. He let out a sigh as he slowly trotted to the front door of Sugar Cube Corner.
…Canterlot Dungeon…
"She knew my name! How the buck did she know my name?" Bubble Shine mumbled to himself as he paced back and forth. Wisefree giggled to himself at the sight of this.
"You guys could you focus. We have to get out of here before the Princess returns to punis-"
"How in the hay do you expect us to escape Canterlot Dungeon? Huh? These bars are-are bucking solid steel!" Bubble Shine yelled interrupting the grey Pegasus stallion.
"Calm down filly…I mean Bubbles." Wisefree giggled.
"Shut up you…you filly!" Bubble Shine yelled
"Calm down buttercup, I was just playing around. Here let me transport us out of here so you can get some fresh air." Wisefree said holding out his hoof.
"Wait, wait, wait. You're telling me you could've got us out of here this whole time? We sat in this dungeon for 6 bucking hours!" Bubble Shine yelled at the top of his lunges. Wisefree shrugged.
"You never as-"
"Hey guys look what I made." Another stallion said as he presented his figure to the group.
"I-is that made of bar soap?" The grey pegasus stallion asked. The blue earth stallion shook his head yes.
"Where the hay did you get bar soap from?" Bubble Shine asked.
"Wisefree used his magic to transport it here and gave it to me." The blue earth stallion said. Bubble Shine's left eye twitched as he grinded his teeth in anger. He slowly turned his attention back to Wisefree.
"Get…us…the buck…out of here before I KILL YOU!" Bubbles shouted.
…Canterlot Town Square…
Jean and Luna slowly walked through crowds of ponies side by side. Many of ponies stopped and stared at Jean trying to figure out what he was but Jean was too busy admiring the big buildings of Canterlot to care.
"Wow Luna, this place is so cool. It's like I stepped into a Zelda game except with ponies…and I don't have to watch out for a fucking elf running around breaking pots." Jean said. Luna smiled at him as she rubbed her face against the side of his stomach.
"Jean?" Luna asked.
"Yes?"
"I was so worried about you back there." Luna said as she looked up to him.
"What are you talking about?" Jean asked in confusion.
"When you were kidnapped by those stallions, I so worried about you." Luna said. Jean suddenly stopped walking and looked down at her.
"Yeah…let's not talk about that. Ever again." Jean said.
"But we were worried about your safety and you never told us who was keeping you in the forest." Luna said. Jean could see the worry in her eyes.
"I-it was nobody." Jean said as he searched his mind for a way to change the subject.
"But your clothes were-"
"Hey is that a restaurant? Boy I'm starving…let's go in there for something to eat…or something." Jean said as he began to sweat. Luna took notice of this and let out a long sigh.
"Jean, hold my hoof." Luna commanded.
"Wh-what for?" He asked.
"Just do it for me…Please?" Luna begged. Jean let out a sigh as he crouched down and took her waiting hoof into his hand. They suddenly disappeared in a flash causing everypony to stop and stare in awe.
…Luna's Room, Celestia Castle…
The two reappeared in a flash of white light. Jean looked around in confusion as he stood up. He walked a few feet away from her as he admired the many paintings she had hung up in her room.
"Whoa, nice room you got here. " Jean said.
"Jean, I brought us here because I wanted to talk to you in private." Luna said as she trotted over to her bed.
"Why doesn't she just drop it? Gawd she's worse than my mom." Jean said to himself.
"Listen Luna I know you're worried but I-I just don't want to-"
"Jean you can't keep this to yourself. It's not healthy." Luna said as she motioned him to sit on the bed next to her. He sighed as he slowly walked over to the bed and sat down. Luna scooted closer to him and placed a hoof on his lap.
"Please Jean, just tell me what happened." Luna said as she stared deeply into his eyes.
"That's just fucking fantastic. She wants me to relive the horrors I went through not too long ago. I was trying to forget about it…I wish that bird thing could've raped me while I was asleep so that I can have the pleasure of not knowing what happened…But then again Beckett ended up knowing somehow." Jean thought to himself
…Sugar Cube Corner…
Before Twilight could say another word to Pinkie Pie, the front door magically opened. Pinkie turned and stared at Midnight Star as he slowly trotted inside.
"Hi, welcome to Sugar Cube Cor-"
"Yeah, yeah I know what this place is. I can read." Midnight Star interrupted as he trotted over to where Twilight was. Twilight slowly lifted her head off the table and stared at the black unicorn stallion in a mixture of confusion and anger.
"You know you don't have to be so ru-"
"Twilight, don't you remember me?" Midnight Star asked. Twilight tilt her head to the side.
"No, I don't." Twilight said in irritation.
"It's me…Midnight Star. You know from Magic Kindergarten? You first colt friend?" Midnight Star asked worriedly. He trotted close to her and wrapped his hooves around the back of her neck.
"I-I remember you…but wha-what are you doing here?" Twilight asked as she slowly pushed him off of her. Midnight Star sighed in disappointment.
"I-I found out about you moving to Ponyville not too long ago and decided to drop on by. How are you?" He asked as he forced a smile.
"Wow Twilight, you never told me you had a colt friend back when you were a filly," Pinkie said as she hopped up and down.
"Who was a meanine frownie pants." Pinkie added before she hopped away frowning. Midnight Star glared at her as she hopped away.
"She is right you know. Colt friend or not, that was mean what you said to her back there." Twilight said frowning at the black unicorn stallion.
"Sorry about that, I was taken aback by your beauty." Midnight Star said. Twilight turned her head away blushing.
"Th-thanks. You-you're not bad yourself." Twilight stammered.
"Hahaha! I got her to blush just like I did back then. I can win her back from the freak." Midnight Star thought to himself.
"He isn't as cute as Jeanie is." Pinkie Squealed as she hopped out of the kitchen balancing a tray of cupcakes on her back. Midnight glared at her again as she hopped over to them.
"So, who's this Jean?" Midnight Star asked as he forced another smile.
"He's my future husband." Twilight said dreamily.
"He knows how to use his fun stick. He made me pop the first time we did it." Pinkie said as she placed the tray of cupcakes on the table in front of them. Midnight Star growled in anger.
"Ah, I think I remember now about Jean. He's that human thing that arrived here not too long ago. Don't you think you are rushing into things? I mean usually a young mare such as you would take some time to know about their mate before talking about marriage." Midnight Star said. Twilight turned to face him.
"I-I"
"Don't listen to him Twilight. There are a bunch of stallions who ask the mares they just met not too long ago to join their herd plus we haven't gone through the last stage of marriage yet." Pinkie said. Midnight Star rolled his eyes in annoyance.
"The last stage? Oh Celestia how could I forget to ask Rarity about the stages of marriage." Twilight asked herself.
"You don't have to. There's a book about it in you library in the M section." Pinkie said.
"Oh, excuse me for a second Midnight I have-"
"Why don't I just come with you? So we can catch up on old time." Midnight Star asked.
"I'll come to just to make sure meanie face doesn't try anything." Pinkie insisted.
…Somewhere in the middle of Everfree Forest…
"What the hay do you mean they got her?" Bubble Shine asked in confusion. Gilda turned her head away trying to hide her blush.
"Those ponies somehow found their way into Ever-"
"Wait, you could've taken Jean with you? Why didn't you take him with you?" Wisefree asked as he trotted slowly towards her.
"Forget that, did you beat him up and tell him not to marry those mares?" The grey Pegasus asked. Gilda's face turned red as she remembered her time with Jean.
"Ye-yeah, I made sure that dork thinks twice about marrying anypony." Gilda lied as she turned away from the group. Bubble Shine scratched his head as he trotted closer towards her. He then stretched out his hoof and tapped her lightly on her back.
"What?" Gilda yelled as she quickly turned to face him. The group stallions gasped as they stared at her red face.
"Why are you blushing like that?" Bubble Shine asked.
"I ain't blushing…I'm just sick." Gilda said as she scratched the back of her head. Wisefree stared at her for a minute before an idea popped into his head.
"I wonder what kind of torture a lonely female griffin would put upon her helpless male prey…alone in Everfree forest." Wisefree said with an evil smile. Gilda stared at him.
"What's that supposed to mean dweeb?" Gilda asked suspiciously.
"Oh nothing, I'm just saying…we all get tired of using our hooves to pleasure ourselves…or in this case claws and-"
"Are you trying to say that I mated with th-that dork!" Gilda yelled as she pushed past Bubble Shine and stood in front of Wisefree. He smiled at her and turned away.
"You said it no-"
"ENOUGH OF THIS! Wisefree stop accusing her of things she would never do. Remember she's a filly fiddler. She wouldn't want to touch him. Now listen up everypony, I have another plan just in case something like this was to happen. Gilda, we are going to need your help this time." Bubble Shine said as he stood in between them.
…Luna's room, Celestia's Castle…
Jean wanted to get up and leave but he knew it would hurt her feelings.
"I-I just can't tell you Luna." Jean said. Luna slowly moved hoof up his thigh until it reached his manhood. Luna quickly retracted her hoof after she remembered the promise she gave to her sister.
"Listen Jean, I like you a lot and I had such a good time with you so far but…I can't stand not knowing what went on at Everfree." Luna said as she slowly brought her face towards his.
"Ok, ok. I'll tell you but you have to promise me that you won't tell anybody else." Jean said. Luna nodded as she backed away. Jean took in a deep breath and exhaled seconds later.
…Outside of Luna's room…
"I know this is wrong but I must know the criminal who was involved in this." Celestia said to herself as she peaked through the small crack of Luna's door.
