The next day started off quite simple, Rumble was making his way over to the home of Cozy Glow, Barley Barrel and his son, Cumulon Gleam. After what he had been told the previous day, it seemed like he had a lot to figure out with the boy, this going beyond just flying lessons.

The stallion knocked and waited, still thinking over another visit he had to make later in the day in regard to Apple Bloom, Dinky as well as their son and daughter.

It didn't take long for the door to open, revealing Barley Barrel, "Hey Rumble, this is a surprise."

"Hi Barley, I'm here to see Cumie," Rumble said.

"Sure, come on inside," Barley said, then called out to her stepson. "Cumie! You got a visitor!"

"It's not Apple Bush is it!?" Cumulon called.

"No, it's your dad!" Barley called.

As Rumble stepped into the living room, he could hear Cumulon coming downstairs, cautiously peeking into the living room, "Hey dad."

"Hey son, great to see you, how's it going?" Rumble said.

"It's great to see you," Cumulon said. "Everything is fine here."

"Is your flying going well?" Rumble asked.

"For the most part, been a little distracted lately, so I end up crashing more than I would like to," Cumulon said.

"Major rule of flying, if your head's not clear, neither will your flight pattern," Rumble said. "When I was in The Wonderbolts, one rule I was given was that being levelheaded is important."

"Yeah, Barley tells me the same thing, but I've been dealing with some...odd things lately," Cumulon reluctantly said.

"It's about Apple Bush, that right?" Rumble asked, earning an awkward and shameful reaction from Cumulon. "I get why that's distracting, I mean it's weird knowing that a girl with the same biological father as you suddenly developed romantic interest."

"I'm not even ready to have a girlfriend, I'm too shy around other fillies" Cumulon said, the colt then hearing stifled laughter from his stepmother. "What's so funny, Barley?"

"Sorry, I'm just surprised that Rumble's son is shy around fillies," Barley said. "I mean, Rumble already lost his virginity by the time he was your age."

"TMI Barley!" Cumulon said, a somewhat embarrassed Rumble agreeing.

"Hey I least I left out the fact that he got your mother pregnant at that age," Barley said. "Then she got turned into stone for five years along with Tirek, Chrysalis and The Sirens, which according to Rumble was the worst thing the Equestrian Princesses did and hated them for years about it."

"Barley!" Rumble shouted in annoyance. "Are you done?"

"Wait...mom got turned into stone when she was pregnant with me?" Culumon asked.

"Yeah, she did," Barley said.

"I...was turned into stone, before I was even born!?" Cumulon said.

"That you were..." Barley said. "Wow, kind of sad when you think about it, I mean imagine if the villains got out like a thousand years later, you probably never would have known any of us."

Cumulon's eyes were about as wide as they could be right now, a moment of dread filling his mind, "Well thanks for that image."

"Hey you would have been fine, probably," Barley said. "You may have been raised by villains but still."

"You done, Barley?" Rumble asked. "Or do you have more unfortunate what-if situations in mind for Cumie?"

"Well imagine if the villains won when Cozy and her friends were freed by the real Grogar?" Barley said. "You would have been Cozy Glow's husband instead and Cumie would have been raised as a disciple of evil."

"Yes, and you'd probably be dead," Rumble said.

"Yeah, good point," Barley said. "Good thing none of that happened. Everyone got their happy ending, you got Sweetie Belle, I got Cozy Glow, and Cumie isn't a product of evil."

"That sounds like a weird timeline to be a part of," Cumulon said, thinking it over. "Still, not too thrilled to know what happened, I mean, I know my mom was a villain once but was she really that bad?"

"Well she did steal all magic once," Rumble said. "Plus she teamed up with some villains and took over Canterlot castle, all when she was around your age."

"I really can't imagine that, my mom's so...I don't know, chill," Cumulon said. "I mean, she can get a little scary when she's mad, and I've seen her be sassy and all but she doesn't strike me as that evil."

"Time changes ponies," Barley said. "Of course, I haven't seen her do much evil up close, for that you might want to ask Princess Twilight and company about that. Or actually, Rumble, you've seen her evil, what's she like?"

"Well she definitely had a lot of bitterness and resentment, mainly because she got the wrong idea of what Friendship was about," Rumble said. "I still find it terrible that she got sent to Tartarus at such a young age, all because Twilight failed at teaching her proper Friendship."

"Mom's actually been to Tartarus?" Cumulon asked.

"Oh yeah, she was there for quite some time too," Rumble said. "I mean, at least Twilight nowadays regrets her decision but it was still a really screwed up thing to do, and I never got why Twilight even thought that was a good decision."

"Wasn't it Luna who dropped her off? That's what Cozy told me," Barley said.

"It was..." came the voice of Cozy Glow, the mare making her presence known. "After I stole all of Equestria's magic, my plans got thwarted by Sandbar and his friends, then all the Princesses showed up, Luna dragging me to Tartarus in a cage. Funny, I thought she liked children, but I guess that was just her trying to look good."

"That's an interesting story mom," Cumulon said. "It's weird, I can't picture you as evil. All I see is the mare who's been nothing but kind and nurturing all these years."

"Well of course, it's because I love you Cumie, you made me wanna be a better pony," Cozy Glow said, her son looking quite proud of himself. "With help from Rumble, Barley and The Cutie Mark Crusaders of course."

"Thank goodness for that," Cumulon said. "Well what matters is that you're not evil. Though, I get the feeling you were probably a pretty badass villain."

"Oh I was, I was an alicorn once after all," Cozy Glow said. "I once knocked out Princess Celestia, so I was really strong."

"So cool," Cumulon said.

"Uh, maybe not say that it's 'cool'," Rumble said. "She is an old Equestrian Princess."

"Hey she attacked a child, she deserves the disrespect," Cozy Glow said. "Then I got ganged up on by Twilight and her friends, for heroes of this world, they're very cruel to children."

"Cozy..." Rumble scolded.

"Hey you thought so too, in fact you're the one who came to save me from Twilight," Cozy Glow said. "You were always so chivalrous, it's why I was in love with you back in the day."

"Oh, so this is when you two were dating?" Cumulon asked.

"Yeah, basically," Rumble said. "So at the time, it sucked for me to see what was happening with Cozy Glow."

"Actually, thinking about it, I was pregnant with you at the time," Cozy Glow said. "Though I didn't actually know I was pregnant when I turned into an Alicorn and went to fight Twilight."

"Hold on, if you were an alicorn at the time, does that mean Cumie here might have gotten powers from Grogar's bell?" Barley asked.

"Wait, I might have powers!?" Cumulon asked.

"If you did, you might have lost them when our abilities were taken away," Cozy Glow said. "So sorry kid, no special powers for you."

"Dang, I wanted superpowers," Cumulon said.

"Work on your speed and that's as close as you'll get," Rumble said.

"Yeah, your innate Pegasus Speed is your superpower, keep at it and eventually you'll be nearly unstoppable in the skies," Cozy Glow said.

"Which I will help with," Barley said. "Soon, I'll teach you the Barrel Family specialty."

"There's a specialty?" Culumon asked.

"Sort of, it's complicated," Barley said. "It's more of a show rather than a tell."

"Uh-huh..." Cozy said. "So, Rumble. Little surprised to see you here, not that you aren't welcome, I just wish I knew you'd be coming, I would have made you something."

"Seeing my son is more than enough," Rumble said. "And I came because Cumie's been having...girl issues."

"That's way to tame of a term, this is beyond 'girl issues', this is straight up weird shit," Cumulon said.

"Cumie, I didn't raise you to use such words," Cozy Glow scolded.

"Barley says it all the time though," Cumulon said.

"You rat," Barley said. "I only said it once too."

"Somehow I doubt that," Cozy Glow said.

"In my defense, Cumie is a teenager, so technically it shouldn't be a big deal," Barley said.

"Sure, whatever, we'll discuss this later," Cozy Glow said. "Anyway Cumie, is this about Apple Bush having a crush on you?"

"Yeah, it's super weird! I mean, she's my sister!" Cumulon said. "I know she has different parents than I do, but biologically, we have the same dad."

"A fact that Rumble has never shared with any of the kids he fathered," Barley said.

"That was only two other kids! You make it seem like I had more kids with more mares!" Rumble said.

"Still, two kids is too many," Barley teased.

"To be fair, this is one of the reasons I was hesitant to be a 'donor' for mares who want babies," Rumble said. "I mean, I'm not the only colt in town, why do all the mares want me to father for them?"

"Oh come off it, the only families you helped was this one and Apple Bloom's," Barley said. "Granted this one was an accident, you still only willingly helped Apple Bloom and Dinky. Diamond doesn't need you to have kids because she has a husband, same with Babs and Kettle Corn. Scootaloo had a husband, but at least she had kids with my brother before they split. There's literally no one else who would ask."

"Well Flurry Heart might be interested sooner or later," Cozy Glow teased.

"Oh Sweet Celestia, I don't think I can do that," Rumble said.

"Shouldn't it be 'Sweet Twilight'?" Barley asked.

"Not...the point," Rumble said, a bit annoyed by the needless correction. "My point is that I cannot father a kid for Flurry Heart and...wait, is she even in a romantic relationship?"

"She could be..." Cozy Glow teased.

"Well...is this relationship with a guy?" Rumble asked. "Perhaps Pound Cake, he's more than capable of giving her a baby, since you know, he's a guy."

"It might not be Pound...it could be a nice, lovely young mare," Cozy Glow said.

"As long as nothing is confirmed," Rumble said. "Here's hoping she finds a guy to be with, and if she ends up with a girl, let her find another guy to knock her up."

"Oh Rumble, you just don't seem to realize how valuable you are as a love partner, after all, you help create gorgeous babies," Barley said.

"I guess..." Rumble bashfully admitted. "Anyway, we're still getting off track here, I need to fix this situation and fast."

"I think you should tell Apple Bush that you're her birth father," Cozy Glow said. "That might get her to back off."

"But if I do that, it might weird her out," Rumble said. "Plus, what if she gets embarrassed over her crush on Cumie?"

"She's gonna have to find out one day," Barley said. "Better she does it now than later, this way she can move on with her life."

"Plus things are already weird," Cumulon said. "For me at least."

"Not to mention, it's important she knows how she came to be," Cozy Glow said. "She already likes you, if she finds out you're her father, she might be even more excited, same with her brother."

"Caramel Seed doesn't like me as much," Rumble said.

"Yeah but...it just feels so abrupt," Rumble said. "I mean, imagine going over and being like 'By the way, I'm your father'. It just feels strange, not how I imagined it at all."

"How did you imagine it, then?" Barley asked.

"Uh...honestly, I haven't thought of that," Rumble said. "Maybe it could have been in the middle of an epic battle, the perfect chance for a bit of drama?"

"Rumble, Equestria's been at peace for a while now, at this point that's just a fantasy," Barley said.

"If you want, I can create a dire moment for you to tell her," Cozy Glow said. "I can be that evil filly you once knew."

"No, I'd rather you didn't," Rumble said.

"Oh, what a shame, after all, part of me would not mind trying to take over again," A sinister Cozy Glow said. "It probably wouldn't be hard, Twilight wouldn't expect me to usurp her throne."

"Cozy, this isn't funny," Rumble said. "Don't do anything suspicious."

"I won't..." Cozy said in a sneaky way, Rumble glaring in mistrust.

"Seriously Rumble, you do need to tell Apple Bush," Barley said. "Crush or not, it's time she knew."

"Alright fine," Rumble reluctantly admitted.

"I'll go with you two," Barley said. "Just so that you have extra backup."

"Same here, I want to be supportive," Cozy Glow said.

"Thanks, I appreciate it, let's go," Rumble said, leading his son as well as his son's mother and stepmother away as they ventured towards Sweet Apple Acres.

Back home with Sweetie Belle, she's seen brushing the mane of her daughter Sugar Dandy. "You need to manage your mane a bit more dear, there's way too many knots."

"I need a better brush, or a comb," Sugar Dandy said.

"This one's fine as is, it's about getting in deep," Sweetie Belle said, brushing her daughter's hair, careful not to pull at it.

"Where's daddy? Did he go back to work?" Sugar Dandy asked.

"No, he had to go see Cumie about something," Sweetie Belle said.

"Flying lessons?" Sugar Dandy asked.

"Something like that, also some father-son type stuff," Sweetie Belle said.

"Hey, mom, why did Cozy Glow stop living with us?" Sugar Dandy asked. "I kind of miss having her and Cumie around."

"I know you do, but Cozy Glow wanted to start her own family," Sweetie Belle said. "Since Cumie's her son, he had to go with her."

"Yeah I get that, but, it felt weird without them around," Sugar Dandy said. "I know Snowflake misses her a lot too."

"I know, Cozy Glow loved you kids as much as her own son, just like I love her son like if he was my own foal," Sweetie Belle said. "But, sometimes you gotta make changes and certain sacrifices in life. But, if you want, you can sleepover at Cozy Glow's house for a bit, you know she loves having you over."

"I'll think about it," Sugar Dandy said.

Sweetie Belle did the finishing touches, "Alright, your mane's all better now, try to maintain it."

"I'll do my best," Sugar Dandy said, then trotted off, running past Scootaloo carrying a sleeping Sunny Sprinkes.

"Hey Sweetie Belle, I helped that son of yours out with some chores," Scootaoo said.

"Thanks, I appreciate that," Sweetie Belle said. "He wasn't too difficult?"

"No way, Cloudburst is an amazing kid," Scootaloo said.

"He's a good colt, but he can be a bit careless at times," Sweetie Belle said. "He just has a bit of a short attention span."

"Don't we all?" Scootaloo said, kneeling by Sweetie Belle. "Your littlest one is asleep."

"Thanks Scootaloo," Sweetie Belle said, taking her foal off Scootaloo's back. "Hope you're sticking around more often, it's much less tiring than on my own. Rumble obviously helps when he's home but usually he's working."

"Someone's gotta bring home the bits," Scootaloo said, sitting next to her friend. "So, Rumble's off breaking the situation to Apple Bush?"

"Yes, and he's not too happy about it," Sweetie Belle said.

"I don't blame him, I mean who'd want to be in that type of situation?" Scootaloo said.

"It sucks but it has to be done," Sweetie Belle said. "I probably should have gone with him, but being a mom is a full time job."

"Your kids are lucky you're so involved in their lives," Scootaloo said. "You are probably the most attentive mom in Ponyville, most attractive too."

"How can I be the most attractive when you're still living here?" Sweetie Belle teased.

"Don't, I will take that as flirting and I will drag you upstairs and make you forget all about Rumble," Scootaloo joked.

"Pfft, all talk," Sweetie Belle said, Sunny then wiggling a bit. "She's hungry, time to feed her."

Sweetie Belle laid across the couch and allowed her baby to have access to her teats, the child drinking the milk from her mother.

"You're doing that on purpose," Scootaloo said.

"Doing what?" Sweetie Belle asked.

"Laying on the couch like that, letting your baby drink your mom-milk, all where I can see you," Scootaloo said.

"It's called Teat-Feeding, you did it too," Sweetie Belle said. "My baby's hungry, I'm not gonna hold off on it because you're here, if you feel the urge for sex, you can go to my room and handle things with your hoof."

"Only if I can use a picture of you to help," Scootaloo teased.

"I'll take a picture of my flank and give it to you if you want," Sweetie Belle teased back.

Scootaloo began laughing a bit, "Wow, imagine if Rumble overheard this. Think he'd suspect something?"

"No, he's more mature than that," Sweetie Belle said.

"Well yeah, you and I are friends, and friends mess with each other," Scootaloo said, tickling Sweetie Belle's right cheek.

"Hey!" Sweetie Belle yelped.

"Sorry, couldn't help but," Scootaloo said, getting off the couch. "I'm gonna go check on Snowflake."

"Sure, sounds good," a mildly annoyed Sweetie Belle said as Scootaloo trotted off. "She's so weird sometimes."

At Sweet Apple Acres, Rumble, Cumulon, Barley and Cozy Glow had arrived, spotting Apple Bloom on the farm, moving a cart.

"Hey, Apple Bloom," Rumble greeted.

"Huh?" Apple Bloom spotted the group. "Oh good, yer all here."

"I'm ready to get this over with," Rumble said. "This is going to be so awkward."

"It is, but Apple Bush needs to know," Apple Bloom said, making her way inside.

"It's almost time," Cumulon said. "After today, no more Apple Bush."

"You know, it's weird that she likes you, I mean even if Rumble wasn't your dad, isn't she technically your cousin?" Barley said.

"My brother may have hooked up with Applejack, somehow, but that doesn't mean they'd be directly related," Rumble said. "Like let's say Dinky was a guy, Apple Bush would have her DNA and Apple Bloom's, and share with Applejack, but not Thunderlane. Also Dinky's the one who ended up having Apple Bush, Apple Bloom carried Caramel Seed."

"You helped with that one too, didn't you?" Cumulon said. "That means you got four mares pregnant."

"Big deal, Cozy was an accident, Apple Bloom and Dinky needed a pony to help them with kids and Sweetie Belle's my wife, all understandable," Rumble said.

"Did you just call me an 'accident'?" Cozy Glow asked, worrying Rumble.

"You know what I mean," Rumble said. "Honestly, I'm surprised Thunderlane never noticed, but he is dense."

"Where is he? I haven't seen him lately?" Cozy Glow asked.

"He's still a Wonderbolt, so he travels sometimes," Rumble said. "He didn't retire early like I did, mainly since he doesn't really know how to do anything else."

"Didn't he teach you to cook?" Cozy Glow asked.

"Yeah, that doesn't mean he's talented at it, he makes edible food, not grand feasts," Rumble said. "He doesn't even have to work, Applejack's farm makes a lot of bits, but he likes being busy."

"I still find it surprising he never ended up with Rarity," Barley said.

"They had trouble making it work," Rumble said. "Plus, Rarity ended up picking that cute mare from Manehattan."

"Oh yeah, Coco Pommel," Barley said. "Didn't think Rarity was into mares, but then again, I didn't think so either, until I met Cozy."

"Aw thanks, funny I think Sweetie Belle's the reason I realized I liked mares," Cozy Glow said.

"Wonder what made Apple Bloom realize?" Barley asked.

"Does it matter? Just like who you like, it doesn't need to be a big reason," Cumulon said.

"Point taken," Barley said as Apple Bush made her way over.

"Hi Uncle Rumble, mom says you're here too...Oh, hi Cumie..." Apple Bush said, the girl blushing as her brother, who was right beside her and her two moms, gagged at the sight.

"Hey Bush..." Cumulon said. "Um, dad here has something to tell you."

"Right, I do..." Rumble said, clearing his throat as he looked down to the filly. "Now, Apple Bush, I hear you like Cumulon."

"I sure do, he's dreamy," Apple Bush said.

"Yes, I'm sure he is in your eyes," Rumble said. "And it's cute that you have a crush, shows that you're growing up and we're all proud of you for that."

"Dad, get to the point," Cumulon said.

"Don't rush me," Rumble scoded, the looked back to the girl he fathered for his childhood best friend. "Now, there are some issues. For starters, you are obviously aware that Cumulon is my son."

"Well yeah, everyone knows that, and it's alright that you had a baby before you got married to a mare you didn't really love," Apple Bush said.

Cozy Glow furrowed her brow, "What was that!?"

"Easy Cozy, she didn't mean anything by it," Rumble said, then turned back to Apple Bush. "Now, you know about my accident regarding Cozy and-"

"Seriously!? Again!?" Cozy shouted.

"Dude, use your words better!" Barley scolded.

"Fine, I DID love Cozy Glow, and I still do, I just didn't love her the way I loved Sweetie Belle, but back when I believed I loved her, I got her pregnant," Rumble said.

"This was before you found out she was evil right? I heard she did some pretty bad stuff," Apple Bush said.

"Oh you bet she did," Dinky said.

"Dinky, what the heck is that about!?" Cozy Glow shouted.

"This is taking too long," Rumble groaned in annoyance. "Look, Apple Bush, I'm sorry to tell you, but there's a reason you probably shouldn't be focusing your attention on Cumie here."

"Is it because Aunt Applejack is married to your brother?" Apple Bush asked. "I mean, I get he's technically my cousin but we're not actually related, plus he's more part of Cozy Glow's and Barley's family than yours or ours so it's less weird."

"You are actually related though," Rumble said, confusing the mare.

"How?" Apple Bush asked. "I did a lot of research and there is no relation."

"Do you know who your father is?" Rumble asked.

"I...don't have one," Apple Bush said. "I only have two moms."

"Right, but for a baby to exist, a mare and stallion need to work together," Rumble said. "So, a guy needed to get one of your moms pregnant."

"Really? I thought my moms got each other pregnant," Apple Bush said.

Everyone collectively looked amazed to hear such a fact against basic biology, making this even more awkward than it was.

"So…how smart are you with basic science?" Caramel Seed asked

"Caramel honey, don't say things like that to yer sister," Apple Bloom warned.

"But isn't is a type of magic that lets mares have babies with each other?" Apple Bush asked.

"I don't think that type of magic exists, otherwise my assistance for a lot of things wouldn't be needed," Rumble said.

"Dude, seriously?" Barley said.

"You know it's true," Rumble replied.

"Apple Bush, I can say for a fact that Apple Bloom did NOT get me pregnant with you," Dinky said.

"And Dinky did not get me pregnant with Caramel Seed here," Apple Bloom said.

"Huh?" Apple Bush asked. "When how-"

"It was me," Rumble said. "I got your moms pregnant, once for you and once for your brother. Cumulon is technically your brother as well."

Appe Bush's world immediately collapsed, the filly barely processing this, refusing to believe it to be fact, "You're...you're joking, right? You're not my father, you're just my uncle. I don't have a father, I have two moms."

"Apple Bush honey, ah know it's hard but it's true," Apple Bloom said. "When Dinky and I got married, Rumble agreed to help us have babies so we can be moms."

"But..." Apple Bush couldn't believe what she was hearing. She should have known it takes a mare and stallion, but she's heard talk of magic that lets mares have babies, though now she doesn't know if that's true or not, suddenly terrible realizations came crashing down on her.

"So, you're my father then?" Caramel Seed asked. "Aw, I wanted it to be someone cooler."

"Hey, I'm the one who gets you those neat birthday presents, son," Rumble said, then looked back to Apple Bush. "Hey, are you doing-"

"Get away from me!" Apple Bush shouted, the girl now crying. "I can't believe you tricked me all these years!"

"I wasn't trying to trick you, I...just didn't think I needed to tell you," Rumble said. "I was already your uncle and we were pretty close."

"Not close enough to tell me you're my father apparently," Apple Bush said, the girl wiping her tears. "I feel so stupid now."

"You're not, no one told you, and I should have but you were so happy with your moms that it didn't seem to matter," Rumble said. "I just wanted to make sure they had kids."

"I...I need to be alone," Apple Bush said, immediately running off.

"Apple Bush!" Apple Bloom called.

"Leave her be," Dinky said. "She needs time to come to terms."

Rumble groaned in frustration, "I knew this was a bad idea."

"No, it's fine, she needed to know," Apple Bloom said. "We'll make this right, ah promise."

"I hope so," Rumble said, feeling sympathy for the young girl.

"Let's go home," Barley said, leading the young stallion away. He knew there was much more to fix now, that would take some time however.

Meanwhile in Canterlot, Flurry Heart and Luster Dawn are in the castle courtyard together, enjoying a tea party picnic with one another.

"So, tell me, how would you compare Canterlot to The Crystal Empire?" Luster Dawn asked.

"Well it's less shiney, but it's still a nice city," Flurry said. "I have a soft spot for The Crystal Empire, it's still my favorite place to be, but I still find Canterlot appealing in it's own way."

"The Crystal Empire is visually stunning," Luster Dawn said.

"How about you? Canterlot or Ponyville?" Flurry asked.

"Ponyville, I feel too ordinary for Canterlot," Luster Dawn said.

"A town is what you make of it," Flurry said. "But Ponyville is your home."

"It is, but...I'd definitely shift views if it meant seeing you more," Luster Dawn said. "Sucks we live in two different cities."

"I'd say the same, but as Princess, I can't leave my Kingdom," Flurry said. "Would you ever move there?"

"I'd feel just as out of place," Luster Dawn said.

"Even if you're with me?" Flurry asked. "I mean, I'm a princess and you're a common pony, but we get along great."

"I see you as more than a Princess, I see you as Flurry Heart," Luster Dawn said.

"Well then, that's how you need to see The Crystal Empire, just another place to live," Flurry said. "It's your choice, one you don't need to make now since it's too soon to be asking anyway."

"Yeah, guess so," Luster Dawn said. "I feel...really comfortable around you Flurry. I'm not the most social pony but you just have that appeal and charm to you that I feel like I can tell you just about anything."

"That's good to know, a Princess has to be approachable after all," Flurry said.

"You're very approachable," Luster said, the mare blushing a bit, Flurry following suit.

From above, Twilight was seen observing the two with satisfaction, leaning on the edge of the rail "It's working out so well, I owe Cozy Glow big time for this."

"Careful, she might use that to her advantage," Tender Taps said, the stallion standing behind his wife. "Wow...great view. My favorite sight."

"This castle does have a great balcony, you can see forever," Twilight said. "Canterlot, Ponyville, so much to see."

"Oh I see something way better than all of Canterlot," Tender Taps said, gently stroking Twilight's flanks. "I see something all to me."

"You little perv," Twilight teased, turning around to sit on the balcony, spreading her legs. "Here's a better sight for you."

"A tastier sight too," Tender Taps said, looking around quickly before leaning in to take a few licks. his wife moaning. "Rumble can't make anything like this."

"How flattering," Twilight said, wincing as Tender Taps took a few more licks. She used her magic to teleport them to her bedroom, letting Tender Taps go to town. "Where are the girls?"

"They're with your parents, I promised to pick them up in an hour," Tender Taps said, resuming his work.

"Oh my mom won't mind waiting long," Twilight said, wincing some more. "Hey, you think Flurry and Cozy will be happy together?"

"They seem like it," Tender Taps said, replacing his tongue with his hoof. "Why?"

"I...kind of...want them to...be together more," Twilight said. "Stick it in please."

Tender Taps laid Twilight back as he stuck himself inside his wife, the stallion wincing in pleasure. "What do you propose?"

As he thrusted, Twilight tried getting her words together, "I'll see if I can convince Shining Armor and Cadance to let them stay together somewhere, maybe at the Empire, maybe in Ponyville, or here in Canterlot."

"I'd suggest Ponyville, less nobles and they can be themselves," Tender Taps said.

"Yes, indeed," Twilight said, huffing a bit. "Who knows, maybe they'll find love with one another."

"That'd be great, soon Shining and Cadance can be grandparents," Tender Taps said.

"Imagine that," Twilight said, wincing more. "Speaking of babies, I might be in heat, be careful where you want to finish today."

"I'll take a chance," Tender Taps said. "I don't mind having more kids with you."

"Same, I love being a mom," Twilight said.

Tender Taps kept going until he came to his climax, filling up his wife with several days worth of unused seeds, "Well, it might happen again."

"Now the back," Twilight said, pulling out and laying on her stomach, positioning her rear up. "Do it."

"Wow, you might be in heat," Tender Taps teased. "Well, as you wish, your highness."

Things were definitely going through changes, something Rumble felt as he got back home, and met with Sweetie Belle.

"How'd it go?" his loving wife asked.

Rumble stroked her mane, looking into her eyes. "It...could have gone better."

"Tell me all about it," Sweetie Belle said, taking a seat as Rumble began to unload, hoping to find the resolution to this problem sooner than later.
