Twilight and I stood outside the noisy library.
"Eh, do we go in?" I asked.
"Yeah, let's see what's going on", Twilight said as she stepped forward to open the door.
"THERE YOU ARE!" A voice shouted from inside the library.
Something was coming towards the door from the inside of the library, quite loudly to be honest. I quickly used my magic to pull her back, just as the door swung open. At the doorway stood a stallion whose coat was a deep brown color, his mane was a slightly lighter hue of his coat, he was also an Earth Pony.
"You! It's because of you!" He shouted, walking up to my, rather angrily.
"Excuse me?" I said, pushing Twilight back even more, moving her away from the angry stallion.
"You're the reason why my son is in prison, in Canterlot!" He shouted, leaning closely to my face.
"Oh, so you're the father of one of those assholes?" I said, calmly.
"My son is no asshole. He's at the top of his class, he's never once messed up in school, he had a bright future ahead of him!" He spat angrily into my face.
"Oi, back off", I heard a voice say.
Looking over to my right, I saw Applejack, Applebloom, and John walking over to us.
"What's gonin' on here?" Applejack asked.
"Mind your own business", he said, not even looking at the farmer.
"Ay', this here is one of mah friends, if yer gonna go spoutin' angry words at him, yah better pucker up and ready yerself fer ah fight", Applejack said, glaring at the stallion.
She finally seemed to have gotten his full attention as he turned to look at her, his face cold and branded with the expression of a killer.
"Back off you stinkin' mutt, I have nothing to do with you. So get the hay out of here", he said, this made me angry.
"Hey, that's no way to spea-",
"Excuse me, you motherfu-", John said, but paused as he looked down at Applebloom.
The little filly was looking up at John, with eyes filled with worry. Sighing, he squatted down to the filly.
"Applebloom, mind going inside the library with your sister?" He asked softly.
"S-sure", she said as she walked towards her sister.
"Applejack, cover her ears", he said, looking at Applejack.
His face was hard and cold, ready to erupt into a fit of anger.
"Okay...", she said as she nudged her sister towards the direction of the open, and slightly damaged front door.
Using his magic, John closed the door shut. He then turned to the stallion, who was being surprisingly patient for John. John suddenly rushed forward and held the stallions neck with a death like grip.
"Listen here motherfucker, if you're going to get angry at someone, you best watch who you say those kind of words to. Especially to my girl, you here?" John said, his eyes filled with hate.
"Hey, John. Calm down, you're attracting a crowd", I said as I looked around.
All around us were ponies, all watching on as the following events unfolded.
"Jeff, I don't fucking care. This piece of shit was getting angry at Applejack for no fucking reason what so ever", he said.
"Your friend put my son in prison", the stallion said, gritting his teeth.
"No he didn't, it was me. Your son attacked a store, bullied a kid with his friends, and almost hurt a baby. I say your son got off easy. If it was I who was passing judgment, I would have sentenced that piece of shit of a son to death and killed him myself. I should kill you", John said as he continued to glare at him.
Reeling back his free arm, he balled up his first. Just as he was about to punch the furious stallion in the face, I grabbed hold of his wrist, stopping him from landing the blow. The stallion flinched at the would be blow he would have received.
"Put him down, he's not worth it", I said.
John was breathing in and out through his nose furiously, you could hear the air flowing in and out. Shaking his head as he let out an angry groan, he threw the stallion across the street, nearly hitting a lamp post.
"You better not come back, or I swear that my friend won't be able to stop me next time", John said as he shot the stallion one final glare before the stallion scrambled to his hooves and ran away.
"... feel a bit better?" I asked, placing my hand on his shoulder.
Suddenly, John spun around and swung his fist at me. I quickly raised my arm up and caught his fist with my palm, the force of his attack nearly tipped me over.
"*Exhaling Deeply*... Yeah, I'm okay now", he said as he pulled his arm back.
"Good, come on. Let's get into the library, it's best if you go comfort Applebloom first, I think you scared her a bit", I said
"Yeah, thanks Jeff", he said as he shrugged it off as he pushed the door open.
Once he was inside, I quickly grabbed my wrist and began to shake my hand furiously, blowing on my pulsating hand.
"God fucking dammit, this hurts", I hissed as I held my hand.
"What was that about?" Twilight asked.
"Er, that angry guy or John trying to hit me?" I asked.
"Um, sort of both?" Twilight said.
"Okay, he needed some way to release some of his anger, hitting somethings usually one way. Usually I'm the one he goes for, glad I stopped it though. And that guy... eh, he's the father of one of the guys John sent to prison, I think", I said.
"Oh, should we check on him?" Twilight asked, looking at the library.
"He'll be okay", I said as I looked inside the library.
"But I think your library isn't", I said as I looked around inside.
"Huh?" Twilight said as she trotted next to me.
She gasped. Many of the things inside of the library was smashed, most likely it was that angry stallion that John and scared off. Furniture were smashed, a chair was smashed, a vase was leaking water through a small crack at the base of its surface.
"Hmm, you think we'll be able to fix all of this with our magic?" I asked.
"I think so, maybe if w-",
"Where did that ass run off to? I'm going to freaking kick his ass!" I heard John yell as I heard him charge out of another room.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"Dude! He smashed your girlfriends place!" He said as he went for the door.
"Okay, thanks for worrying about Twilight, but don't get so worked up. We can fix this, magic, remember?" I said.
"Ugh, okay. I'll calm down, but I swear. If I see that guy anywhere in this town, he's dead. Ya' hear? Dead! With a capitol D!" He said as he pounded his fist into is palm.
"Yeah, got it. Also, did you check up on Applebloom?" I asked.
"Not yet, I think she's upstairs with her sister", he said.
Clapping his hands, he disappeared as he teleported away. The upstairs doorway gave of a brief flash and immediately faded away.
"Why does he care so much about me?" Twilight asked.
"It's not like I'm his marefriend", she said.
"One, you're his friend. Two, you're my girlfriend, or marefriend from what you're saying. Ever since I lost my last girlfriend, Amber, he always tried to get me another girlfriend, guess he wants to protect you, too", I said.
'Oh, t hat makes sense", she said.
"Come on, lets go check up on them", I said.
She nodded. We walked up the stairs, stepping on fragments of random things that were broken. Reaching the top stair, we looked inside the room and saw that Applebloom was laying on John's lap as John and Applejack were talking.
"So, you're okay. Right?" I asked.
"Yeah, I'm okay", John said, looking at me.
"Yeah, we;re okay. Glad Ah didn't have to get violent", she said as she reached over and stroked her sisters mane.
"You two can leave us, we'll be okay", John said.
"Uh, okay. Twilight and I are going to go get somethings ready for tomorrow", I said.
"Okay, see you tomorrow then", he said as he waved at us.
I snapped my fingers, teleporting us out of the room. Twilight and I reappeared outside of the library.
"Jeffry, you do know we could have walked out, right?" Twilight asked.
"Yeah, but I didn't feel like walking", I said.
"You better start walking more, or you're going to get fat. Then Luna will be more than right to call you 'Thou Plushy Human'",, Twilight said as she began to giggle.
"Oh ha ha", I said, rolling my eyes at her.
"So, what do we do now?" I asked as we started to walk off in a random direction.
"Well, you've already got something to wear to the Gala already. I need to go to Rarity's and ask her if she can adjust the one I wanted to wear to it", she said.
"Oh, okay... do I come along?" I asked.
"Nope, if you do come with me, you'll see what my dress looks like", she said as she stuck her tongue out at me.
"Okay, I'm going to go around Ponyville, see if I can do anything to pass the time", I said.
"Okay, have fun!" She said as she trotted off to the right.
"Bye!" I said as I waved her goodbye.
'...Okay, what the hell do I do now?' I thought as I looked up into the sky and saw a rainbow colored streak.
"Hey Rainbow Dash!" I called out.
"Yeah?" The rainbow figure said as it made a U-turn.
"Where you headed?" I asked.
She flew down in front of me and showed me a piece of colored paper in her hooves, she needed to use both hooves, seeing as ponies don't have fingers.
"I'm off to see the Wonderbolts Airshow, the show was scheduled for today", she said.
"Oh, okay. You're going to be back to attend the Gala with all of us, right?" I asked.
"Are you kidding me? I wouldn't miss the Gala for the world!" She said.
"Well, gotta dash. See ya later!" She said as she took off.
I was going to say goodbye, but she was well out of hearing range now. Man she's fast, Spitfire was right. The Gala, the Gala... oh yeah, the invitation for Applebloom still hasn't arrived, when was Princess Celestia going to send it? She just left the mansion she had built for John and myself, so she might not have had time to get back to the castle to get the invitation made... printed? Whatever. Guess I'll go there myself, the little filly could go with some cheering up after seeing John act like that. Snapping my fingers, I teleported myself onto Celestia's bedroom balcony.
"Ah!" A voice exclaimed.
"Who-AH!" I said as I backed up against the railing, flipping over it.
I felt something take hold of my foot and held me there, preventing me from falling off. I looked at my foot but saw nothing but a yellow aura.
"Jeffry? What are you doing here?" A voice said.
"I was coming here to ask you if you had Appleblooms invitation", I said, looking up, seeing that it was Celestia indeed.
"Yes, I do. But you didn't need to come here yourself, I was going to send it to Spike", she said as she reeled me in.
"Thanks. Well, we had a little problem this morning and I wanted to get the invitation there as quickly as possible, Applebloom needs some cheering up", I said.
"Applebloom? What happened?" Celestia asked.
"Oh, just any angry parent of one of the punks that John sent to prison, nothing to worry about. John took care of it... and he's alive", I said.
"I see. Would you like me to get the invitation now? I have it somewhere on my desk", she said as she looked into the room.
"Great, I'll get it myself", I said as I walked into the room and looked around for the desk she was talking about.
Spotting a table that looked as if someone had dumped an entire trees worth of paper onto it, I walked over and examined the contents of the desk. Paper was everywhere, I could see nothing that resembled an invitation.
"Um, Celestia? What does the invitation look like?" I asked as I lifted a few papers to look under them.
"It's a small slip of paper, it's very hard and it's gold", she said.
"Hard... wait, gold? Oh yeah, paper, nevermind", I said as I moved some more papers off of the table.
"Ah ha, found it! I'll be off now", I said.
"Okay, I shall see you at the Gala", she said.
I didn't want to teleport, so I decided to fly back to Ponyville. The wind might help me relax. Moving to the rail of the balcony, Celestia watched as I hoped onto the railing. I noticed something at the corner of my eye, something that seemed a bit familiar. Looking towards the familiar thing I saw, I saw that it was a large hedge maze... how the hell did I miss that after all my time I've spent here?
"Princess Celestia, what's that?" I asked, pointing to the large hedge maze.
"Oh, that's just a hedge maze my father made himself when he was Equestria's past ruler", Celestia said.
"What's in it?" I said, hoping that she wouldn't mention what I saw in my dream.
"It's just some sort of statue of the God of Chaos and Disharmony, I don't really know why my father had a statue of something like that placed in the center of the maze", she said.
"Hmm, I would like to see it. Mind if I go take a look?" I asked.
"I'm sorry, but it's best you wait for tomorrow. You'll get lost in it, even if you fly over it. I would have some of my guards help you through it, but everypony in the castle is quite busy with the preparations for the Gala, tomorrow", she said.
"Oh, okay. Bye Celestia", I said as I leaped off the railing.
Forming my wings, I spread out my wings as I let the wind flow over and under my wings. As I flew through the air, I looked towards the maze, even though the surroundings were bright and cheery looking, the maze itself had a think fog that was hanging low to it. It seemed as if the hedge maze was an entire world itself. Pushing that aside, I had a little filly to cheer up. I flew in the direction of the library, hopefully they're still there. After a short flight, I reached the library. I shrunk down my wings as I touched down. Pushing the door open, I was greeted by giggling and laughing. Inside, John was reading a book, the book resting on his lap. A large bow was sticking out from the top of the book, it was moving, most likely Applebloom.
"So, guess she's happy again?" I said as I closed the door.
"Oh, hey Jeff. Applejack went to Rarity's to get her dress done. I'm just spending a little time with Applebloom", he said as he lowered the book.
"Hiya Jeffry!" Applebloom said as she waved to me.
"Hey there. I got'cha something", I said as I took out the invitation.
"The invitation! Thanks Jeff", she said as I walked over to the two.
"Don't thank me, thank the Princess when we go to the Gala tomorrow.
"Okay!" She said as she took the ticket as I offered it to her.
"Hmm, wouldn't you need a dress to wear?" I pointed out.
"Hmm, Ah guess. Ah think that Ah might have one in mah closet, Ah guess that's done", she said.
"Eh, Jeff? Is it me, or have the days been going by faster than usual?" John said as he looked out the window.
It was indeed dark outside.
"Wow, it really is dark. Are you two heading back to the farm?" I asked.
"Hmm, nah. I was going to sleep in the mansion, that Celestia made for us. I'll only go there if Applejack wants to. I want to start spending more time with her", John said as he smiled to himself.
"Okay... you two got real close on your birthday, didn't you?" I asked.
"... Yeah", he said as he looked up at the ceiling, smiling as he did so.
"Are ya' gonna ask mah sister to marry you?" Applebloom asked out of the blue.
"... Possibly, if our relationship ever goes that far", John said, ruffling the fillys' mane.
"Wow, you think that far into the future already?" I said, surprised at John's behavior.
John has never acted this way for any girl. Even with the many girlfriends he has had in our world, he has only shown such behavior with Applejack. I guess he finally found the one, just like myself with Twilight. The front door opened as two mares walked into the library.
"Hey, Twilight", I said, walking over to her, opening my arms to give her a hug.
"Ah ba ba ba, no hugging yet. I'm carrying my new dress", she said.
Turning to her side, I saw something covered in thick layers of plastic, making the ability to see what the color of the dress was, completely impossible. Applejack also had a similar object resting on her back.
"Aw, I still don't get to see it?" Putting on a pouting face.
"*Giggle* Nope, just you wait and see. You'll get to see me in it tomorrow", she said as she walked past me, flicking my face with her tail.
"Applejack, it's getting dark now", John said as he laid the book he was reading to Applejack, onto the floor and got up.
"Yeah, Ah could see that. Ah was just outside ya' know", she giggled.
"I know, just wanted to ask if you wanted to... you know. Sleep with me in the mansion again", John said.
This had to be the first time I saw John blushing harder than someone else. Applejack smiled.
"Sure, hopefully mah brother can take over the work for tomorrow. The big day's tomorrow", she said as she walked over to John.
"'Kay, see you guys tomorrow", I said as I waved the goodbye.
"Wait for me!" Applebloom said as she leaped at John, just as he clapped his hands together, teleporting out of the library and into the mansion.
"Guess we better go to sleep, want to make sure I have enough energy to spend the entire day with you tomorrow", I said as I placed my hand on Twilight's shoulder.
"Yeah, let's go", Twilight said as we walked up the stairs.
Reaching her room, we entered the room. Only to be greeted by a familiar pink mare.
"Pinkie Pie? Why are you here?" I asked.
"Bed, remember?" She said as she zipped to the foot of the bed she loved so much and crawled under the blanket.
"Jeez, she really loves that bed", I laughed as I scratched the top of my head.
"Yup, I might just have it delivered to her room at Sugarcube Corner", Twilight said as she rolled her eyes.
She lifted her dress off of her back and hung it over a chair, keeping it from touching the floor. I walked over to the bed and pulled back the covers, moving aside to let Twilight in first.
"Why thank you", she said, giggling at me.
"Your welcome", I said as I slid into the bed with her.
As we laid under the bed, Twilight's horn glowed as she used her magic to turn off the lights. I wrapped my arm around her as we laid beneath the covers together.
"Good night, Twilight", I said as I smiled, my eyes fixed on Twilight's.
"Good night, Jeffry", she said, smiling at me.
Her beautiful eyes were the last thing I saw before sleep started to creep over us. Our eyes slowly shut themselves closed as our bodies welcomed the sleep.
Chapter 36 is ah finished! Hope you guys liked this. This is about to get eventful soon :D Remember, the poll for a lemon fanfic, or regular clean fanfic is on my profile. IF THE LEMON WINS, take note. I will only write one or two scenes, seeing as I'm no good with that type of stuff, and it would just make a fanfic nothing but for lemons.
