Well, that went better than expected. Though a part of me felt in some way messed up with Blacklight.

No wait, she said it's Nocte Moon-Star.

"Fucking Thorax." I grunted in annoyance as I peeled the holosuit off to change into my underwear.

I get my little bro wants my best interest but he should seriously butt out. It's my life. I can take care of myself.

I got up from the laptop and plopped onto my nest.

I seriously hope I didn't scare her off.

As much as I tried to not be that guy who snoops into people's real profiles, I failed instantaneously. I got on my phone and began looking up Nocte.

Typing her name into the search engine and pressing enter.

It took so freaking long for it to load, of course it does when you basically live in a cave system. Not much signal in here. "Come on, come on you piece of shit." I grunted, smacking the side of it as if it'll do what I wanted.

I don't want to step out and in the chance of running into my brother and him lecturing me about breaking his no tech laws some more.

When the screen finally loaded, it turns out there were at least a few ponies with the same name. One was an edgy goth mare with her tongue sticking out, having a tongue piercing that has a leash attached to it.

"Uh, don't think so." I muttered. I like my share of kinks but think she's not the kind I want.

I kept scrolling and scrolling until I found the emblem of Avalon and a familiar digital art rendition of one sexy assassin.

I pressed the link and it took me straight to Nocte's Equinebook Page.

The header of the page was of the various art pieces I've seen. She's not the best artist - her words not mine - but her art is good enough to do commissions.

I scrolled through her page, seeing that she posts a lot of her art, some quotes of her favorite books. Took me time to find a picture of her.

I stopped scrolling when I saw what Nocte looked like. Seeing this rather cute fluffy blue unicorn. Well, at first glance I thought she was full blood but the more I looked I noticed she was in fact a Baticorn. Unicorns with bat-like features. Not really common but still. She looked really cute. Purple eyes with teal and orange short curly hair.

I wasn't even phased with the scars she has, those don't really bother me.

The picture I was looking at was her in a restaurant somewhere in Manehattan. A large birthday cake was in front of her and next to her was a pale earth mare with short blue bob hair hugging her. Time stamp was roughly six months ago.

I scrolled some more and found her in better lighting. Holding onto what I believe is her young niece Jelly Drops. She was also blue with red and black striped mane and tail.

Nocte had a big smile that somehow made my chest flutter.

It looked like it was taken at her family orchard. I remembered Nocte telling me about this.

Which also triggered another thing. Her brother.

Her brother also plays Avalon sometimes. I met him in game twice, Nocte referred to him as Fruit Loops, not his real name nor the name he used in game, just something she teases him from time to time.

And I just happen to have his number too.

I could just wait and let today rest, but I just want to know if her brother knew what I did. Which was shitty on my part. Can't have him fly out here and kick my ass though I probably deserve it.

I'd call Nocte again but I really don't want to make her think I'm a creep.

Am I a creep for calling her brother?

I quickly go to my contacts. Since I don't have that many numbers, it was easy to find his number. I have him under Blacklight's Brother.

I did a quick name change to Nocte's and her contact name before dialing the brother up.

After a few rings, he answered.

"Nectar Skies, who is this?" Nectar? Huh. Though I was surprised because his voice in the game was much deeper, his voice here was light and tiresome.

It took me a second to remember his Avalon name. "Hey uh…Galaxy? It's me Silk from Avalon?" I really wasn't sure, I almost called him Fruit Loops.

It took a long time before Nectar responded.

"Oh yeah, sorry, I haven't played in a couple of months…dude I forgot I gave you my number." He said before something loud and banging echoed on his side. "Jelly please, daddy is on the phone."

"I'm hungry daddy! Can I have a mango?"

"No, you cannot have a mango, you're allergic to them." Nectar said, though something told me it was a lie.

"No I'm not."

After a loud groan, Nectar continued to chat with me. "Sorry, that was Jelly Drops. Her mom is currently at the doctor's office so I'm stuck at home watching her."

"Noc-uh I mean Blacklight mentioned you're expecting your second kid."

"Yeah, we are. So Silk, what can I do for you?" Before I could respond, I heard a loud bat-like screech. "Jelly Drops, no no! Bad girl, bad girl, gimme back those mangoes!"

"I want mangos! They're mine!" Jelly Drops screeched loudly to the point I winced in pain.

"Crap, give me a moment. Silk." Nectar said before he dropped the phone somewhere and I could hear sounds of wings flapping, items being knocked over, the little kid screeching. "Jelly Drops, my darling child, I love you to death but I'm not afraid to drop kick my own spawn of Discord for those mangoes! Those are for your mother and I!"

"REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

Holy hell, if that didn't remind me of the fact that I myself have some sort of crotch goblins of my own roaming in this hive. Honestly, I don't really know who is who because it was a long time ago and so many that it's close to impossible to tell who is actually.

Maybe that's why I haven't participated in the past three breeding seasons.

I couldn't help but laugh as I heard what sounded like a tornado rip through the house. It lasted five minutes before Nectar came back out of breath.

"S-sorry about that. I had put my daughter on time out. Mangoes are for adult bats only. If given to kids, they become raging, Tasmanian Devil menaces." Nectar said and he sounded like he was done with life.

"What do mangoes do to adult bats?" I asked, rather curiously.

"I'm having a second kid, I'll leave that to your imagination." Nectar sighed. "Sorry, what do you want?"

I composed myself, bracing myself before I began. "Uh have you heard of your sister lately?"

"No I haven't. She is coming down this weekend. Why?" he asked.

Okay, she hadn't said anything or she hadn't gotten there yet.

"Did something happen?"

I chewed the inside of my cheeks before responding, "Nope, no, just that we got Kyra/Maliced and scared the shit out of us."

I could hear him sucking air through his teeth. "Yeah, that virus is a bitch." There were some rustling sounds and I heard him make a sound. "Uh….Jelly Drops, what is that in your hands?"

"A KNIFE!"

"NO! Gotta go. Jelly Drops, no come back here with that now!" He then hung up.

I let out a laugh at that. "That kid is a menace." I giggled, shaking my head.

My fingers flicked the screen back to the Equinebook page and looked at Nocte's photo again, a soft smile came to my face and I looked at her.

She was a pretty mare if I do say so myself…

I can't wait to see where this goes between us.
