As the sunset, Dusk Shine made his way to his library home in Ponyville, ecstatic to be back after five days of running around on errand for Prince Solaris.
As he opened the door and stepped through, he braced himself for what he knew was coming.

“Dusky!” cried Eris as she tackled him. She wrapped him up in her arms and flew him around the library, nuzzling him till it hurt. After his cheek was rubbed raw, she squeezed him into her bosom, turning his purple coat blue as he lost oxygen.
Just as the world grew dark through Dusk's eyes, Eris put him down and hovered above him, watching as he coughed and regained his color.
“Hey gorgeous,” as he’s come to call her. “Did you miss me?”
“Nope.” Eris joked as she gave him a big smile.
“Right, so what have you been up to? Did you and Spines get along?”
Eris flew up to Dusk, encircling him on the floor and brought herself to his eyes.
As a female draconequus, Eris was much smaller than her male counterparts, but she was still a head taller than her colt-friend Dusk Shine.  
“We did kind of have a girl’s night in. We didn’t fight or anything but I arranged for her to have a sleepover at the Apples’.”
“Oh, well, that’s nice of you.” He responded.
Eris lowered her voice a little. “I told her she was going to Elusive’s place.”
“Eris!” Dusk yelled at her, but he couldn’t help but laugh. “That’s mean!” he said through his laughter.

Over the last two years Eris had really rubbed off on Dusk, making him a little less politically correct and a little more light-hearted, he even helped their friend Berry pull a few pranks. The same was true in reverse; Eris had really calmed down a lot and was even getting along with most of the group; Elusive and her still butted heads every now and then, but no more than Elusive did with the other stallions in their circle of friends.
Berry once said that Eris had taken the stick out of Dusk, but was still holding onto it. Eris, of course, responded with, “Kinky,”

“Yes, but you should have seen her face when we got to the Apples, haha priceless.” She said as she ran a claw through his mane. Her eyes becoming a little glossed over as she looked into his.
Dusk loved her eyes, to this day he still falls into them. Along with her crazy unkempt mane that accented her cute face; he got lost in her face quite often.  
“Oh! I have wanted to ask you something ever since you left.” Eris said as she got off the floor, breaking their mutual trance.
“Tell me. Do you find me sexy?” Eris ran a claw through her crazy mane and the other down her body as she batted her eyes at him; Dusk just laughed at her teasing.
“Of course,” he answered.
“Do you like my body?” She spun around, placed a single claw on the edge of her mouth and gave him her best ‘I'm so innocent look’
“Every inch of it.” He answered through another laugh. He knew she was about to ask him for something, but he has grown to love their little games.
She flew up to him and nuzzled his cheek kissing it lightly before whispering in his ear. “Do you loooooove me?”
“More than you can measure.” He said as he rubbed his head into her white, soft mane.

“Then if I had a dick, would you suck it?”

All sense of reason ejected from Dusk’s brain as his eyes became void of any intelligence.
“Uh wh- da ehh eh.” nothing but incoherent sounds of unfinished thoughts escaped his mouth.
Eris threw herself on the floor laughing uncontrollably as she held on to her ribs.

A knock at the door interrupted her fits of glee.
Eris flew over and opened it to Berry and Blitz.
“Yay! My third and fourth favorite colts; what can I do to you boys?”
“Hey Eris,” Berry said smiling and waving at her.
“Did you mean to say ‘for you‘?” Blitz asked with a raised eye brow.
“Nope,” Eris said with a toothy smile.
“Right,” Blitz said trying to ignore the implications dancing through his mind. “Well, Berry wanted to throw a welcome home party for Dusk Shine, but I convinced him it would be more special if it was just a few of us that came to see him.”
“Sounds, fun! Come in, Dusky is zonked out inside.”
Just as the two stallions started to head inside, Eris closed the door on them. The two looked at each other for a moment and then Blitz opened the door again.
Inside they found their friend, Dusk Shine, staring off into nothing, his face devoid of thought and emotion, his pupils the size of dimes, drool was hanging off his mouth, while his coat was a dull purple.
“Wow,” Berry commented as he went up to his buddy. He waived a hoof in front of his eyes and then knocked on the side of his head, making a wooden hollow sound.
The two heard rummaging coming from the kitchen.
“You weren’t kidding, Eris,” Berry yelled to the kitchen assuming that was her. “He’s gone,” He said through a laugh.
Eris came out with a tea tray balanced on her tail.
Blitz was looking at Dusk with a concerned look on his face.
“Could you have waited a day before giving our buddy an aneurism?” he said as Eris joined them.
“He’ll be fine,” she said waving a dismissive hand at him.
“What did you do to him this time?” Berry asked finding it amusing.
“I asked him a question.” She answered as she set the tray down.
“What was the question? Blitz asked suspiciously.
“Sorry boys but,” she pointed at Berry. “You wouldn’t get it,” then pointed at Blitz. “And you would just say yes, at least to yourself. Let’s just say that there is a huge conflict going on in my little Dusky. One where his dick is saying ‘hell no’, his heart is saying ‘yes’, and his brain saying ‘what the buck’.”
“Never mind,” Blitz said quickly. “I don’t think I want to know.”
“Tea, boys?” Eris asked pouring herself a cup.
Berry started to ask for some, but Blitz suddenly punched him in the shoulder.
“Don’t, the last time I drank her tea I was peeing rainbows.”
Berry noticed movement in the corner of his eye as Dusk Shine came to.
“We’ve been together for two years.” Dusk said as he took a step to his partner. “Lived together for 18 months.” Eris turned to him, her claws behind back, and a playful and cute smile on her face.  
“I'm the protégée of the prince, valedictorian of every school I have attended.” He took another step towards her. “Yet, still, you find some way to lobotomise me.”
Eris lunged forward and closed the rest of the distance between the two, embracing Dusk.
“You know you love it,” Eris told him as she ran a claw from the base of his neck to end of his jaw, sending goosebumps down his spine.
“Sad part is you’re right.” Dusk admitted as he looked into her eyes.
“Okay, well, we’ll be going now,” Blitz said in an uneasy voice.
“Why?” Berry asked, not taking his eyes off the couple. “It’s just getting good.”
Blitz hooked his hoof around the back of Berry’s neck and dragged him to the door.
“Have fun you two.” Berry cried out just as Blitz closed the door behind them; the comment caused Dusky to blush a little.
“So, what’s your answer?” Eris asked as she held onto her colt.
“I-I um…”
Without warning, Eris pushed Dusk across the library and playfully pinned him against the wall.
“Ya’know, as the spirit of chaos I can turn myself male.” She said with a mischievous smile. She pressed herself against Dusk upright body and whispered in his ear. “And I can make you female.”
Dusk was on the verge of reverting back to his dumbfounded state of mind, but then Eris ran her tongue from the base of his ear to the tip; making him lose track of anything he was thinking. Looking into her eyes again, Dusk became reminisce about how all the crazy started.





Over two years ago Eris crashed Dusk’s birthday party. Elusive tried to kick her out, and was honestly a little nasty about it. Dusk decided to come to her defense and allowed her to stay. Unfortunately it did prove to be a mistake as the evening went on.
Eris made a complete disaster out of the event, causing an argument to break out between her and Dusk Shine, which somehow morphed into a heated debate over the nature of magic.
Before the two knew it, so much time had gone by that they had been left alone in the dark.
“Dang, well that’s the end of this,” Eris said as she tried to fly off.
“Oh no you don’t,” Dusk said as he pulled her back down to the ground by her tail. “You’re not getting off the hook that easy. Meet me at the Canterlot art museum tomorrow and we’ll finish this.”
Eris shoved her face into his. “You’re on, pretty boy!” she said. “But I…where’s the art museum? I’ve never been.”
“What?!” Dusk looked at her like she’d committed some kind of egregious crime. “You’ve never been to the art museum?! Knowing you, you would love the modern art section.”

It was the start of a very unexpected relationship.





“You really keep me on end of my hooves, gorgeous,” Dusk said in a loving manner.
“My little Dusky can take it,” She said to him as she nuzzled his nose with hers.
“So, you’re saying I can take you?” Dusk asked, with his own mischievous smile.
“Any other colt would be in the loony bin by now, so yes,” she dug her body deeper into his. “You can take me.”
Dusk Shine, still pinned up right, placed one leg around the small of her back and the other around the back of her head. He then pushed against the wall with one of his hind legs; forcing Eris to fall backwards with him on top.
Eris started laughing and giggling as Dusk playfully nibbled on her neck and shoulder.
Eris wouldn’t submit for long and pushed Dusk off her and flew up to the second floor to their room in a fit of giggles; her colt-friend right behind her.
After Eris had moved in, Dusk got a much bigger bed, giving Spines her own bed, and eventually her own room.
Eris ran straight for their bed, like it was some kind of safe zone. Right when she reached it Dusk grasped her by the tail and spun her around to face him just as he tackled her; Eris let them roll across the bed and placed herself on top, pinning him down.
The couple laughed at their childish rough housing as they relaxed into each other’s embrace. Eris allowed herself to slip off to the side of Dusk and dug her face into her shoulder.
Dusk had his arm under her head and around her, gently rubbing his hoof into her back. His light massage coaxed a moan of relief from Eris.
Because of her elongated body, Eris suffered from a lot of back pain, but she was the type to hide any sign of it. Dusk eventually learned about her problem and over time knew exactly how to work her back.
“I love you, gorgeous,” Dusk said kissing her forehead.
“I know, ‘cause I'm awesome”
The comfort of each other’s embrace relaxed the couple to sleep as the sun went into hiding behind the hills.





Dusk rolled over and started feeling around for Eris in hopes to wrap his legs around her and snooze off a little more. Dusk opened his eyes after he failed to locate his chaotic partner. He shot out of bed in a panic when he realized that she wasn't there. Thinking he slept in, he rushed to the window and glanced at the sun.
To his surprise it was hardly after morning.
“What?” he said to himself as he looked back at the bed. “She’s never up before noon.”
Dusk Shine started looking around in a near-panic. It occurred to him that she would get up early to pull one of her pranks. Dusk knew that he was most likely the target; after all you hurt the ones you love, in her case beat, abuse, mind buck, and leave you in a box for a psychologist to put back together.
A pounding at the door made him nearly jump out of his coat.
Dusk rushed to the stairs…and nearly fell straight down. Eris decided to replace their stairs with a sliding pole when she got up.
Another pound at the door pushed the home renovation to the back of his mind. Reluctantly sliding down the pole, Dusk made his way to the door and found Elusive’s little brother, Sweepy Bell, on the other side.
“Eris and my brother are fighting again.” he said without bothering with any formalities.
“What? Where?” Dusk ask a little taken back.
“At the shop,” Sweepy said pointing in the general direction of his brother’s business.
“Eris is at Carousel Boutique?”
Sweepy tilted his head at him. “Are you listening?” he asked rhetorically.
“R-right, sorry, ok lets go and see what the problem is.”





Dusk and Sweepy opened the door of the boutique to the sounds of arguing.
“Why can’t you be more ladylike, Eris?” Dusk heard Elusive say in his signature ‘I’m angry but I'm not yelling’ voice.
Dusk knew Eris would start responding in some crude manor just to make Elusive angry.
“Why do you go get Scooteroll and go visit the Apples, Spines already there?” Dusk said to Sweepy hoping to spare his innocence.
“Because I have a big dick and when I walk, it swings!”

Too late.

“I thought Eris was a girl?” Sweeps said looking up at Dusk.
Dusk Shine couldn’t think of what to say so he went for the truth.
“She’s making a joke and a metaphor. She’s saying that good manners are beneath her.”  He smiled awkwardly at the colt hoping he understood.
“Oh, like when Rainbow Blitz says he has bigger balls than my brother?”
Dusk’s jaw hung open for a second and just nodded.
“Just go and play with your friends,” Dusk said in a defeated sigh.

Dusk left the foyer and allowed the two to see that he was present.
Elusive glared at Dusk like the fight was his entire fault. “I will never know what you see in this vulgar creature.”
“That’s cause you’re blinded by my awesomeness!” Eris said as she put on a pair of shades similar to Rainbow’s favorite pair. “There should be a warning label on me.” Dusk rolled his eyes a little.
“Can we plaster it over your mouth?” Elusive asked in a snarky manner. “Answer for yourself, Dusk Shine, or are you beneath her or something.”
Dusk tried to answer, but Eris interrupted him again.
“Oh, he’s beneath me quite often,” she said as she wrapped her arms around Dusk, pulling him close to her chest and causing him to blush a little. “And he loves it!”
Elusive was once again taken aback by her vulgar remark.
“You’re just jealous,” Eris said, as she continued her attack. “He found someone to love, while you’re still waiting for your princess. Ya pansy.”
“And what makes you think that it’s really love?” Elusive sneered at her, slowly losing his composure to his anger.
“Shut up, Elusive,” Dusk Shine said, surprising both of them. “I don’t want to hear you say anything like that again.” Dusk Shine face was contorted in a look of pride and anger as he looked his friend in the eye.
“I love Eris for everything she is; her faults included. She has made me happy these past two years and I feel no need to defend my relationship with her.”
Elusive looked a little ashamed after being chastised by his friend.
“You’re right Dusk Shine, my accusation was rude and uncalled for.” Elusive turned his attention back to Eris. “I’m sorry for my uncouth behavior, milady. I may not agree with your mannerisms, but I have not seen Dusk Shine enjoy himself so often as he does these days. You have made one of my dearest friends happy and I thank you.” He did a slight bow of his head to her.
Eris could only rub the back of her neck and stare at the floor. She wasn’t used to all this…sentiment. She didn’t know how to respond.
Normally she would just ignore them and cause some mayhem, but after two years with Dusk Shine and his friends it wasn’t just her happiness that she was worried about. Driving Dusk crazy was fun; downright pissing him off, a little less desirable, at least for today.
“Gorgeous?” Dusk ask pulling her out of her awkward internal conflict. ”Why are you here? I’m surprised you’re even up this early.”
Eris glared at him for a few moments.
“You know I can magically stick your head up your ass, right?”
Dusk gulped and gave her a sheepish laugh.
“I agree with her, Dusk,” Elusive said.
“You do?” Dusk said in the flattest voice he has ever used.
“Well not in such a colorful way, but a gentlecolt never asks a lady of her business. A mare is entitled to her secrets, after all. Now then,” Elusive approached Dusk and spun him around. “You two must skedaddle.” He started pushing Dusk to the door. “I have some work to do today.” Elusive looked back at Eris and gave her a knowing wink. “And I know you have your own errands to get to.”
“Um… not really,” Dusk replied, a little confused by Elusive sudden change in demeanor.
“Actually,” Eris said as she caught up to them. “We’ve been out of food for two days now.”
“What? Why didn’t you go to the store?” Dusk ask as he was shoved out the door.
“Ta-ta you two” Elusive said before closing the door on them.





Most of Ponyville’s goods were local and of high quality, but they were also seasonal and Ponyville didn’t make everything. Luckily there was a modern grocery store that picked up the slack.
Eris pushed a cart around as the couple made their way through the store.
Eris always tried to turn the winding aisles into a game of cat and mouse; usually by rushing off with the cart when Dusk is trying to put something heavy into it. Other times, Dusk is being a cuddly colt and she’ll rush off egging him on to run after her if he wants her attention, quickly becoming a game of chase and nuzzle.
Dusk would groan and yell at her, but he had fun every time he had to chase her.
“Booze!” Eris yelled out as she suddenly did a 90° turn into the next aisle.
Rolling his eyes and laughing to himself, Dusk calmly followed her.
“By chaos, dear, look.”
The aisle had alcohol on one side and chocolate products on the other side. Needless to say, the sight caused a little excitement in Eris
“The store manager is an evil genius,” she commented.
“Or a marketing one,” Dusk added as he caught up to her. “Want to get some wine, gorgeous?” he suggested as he scanned the wine racks. Shuffling of claws and wheels told Dusk that Eris just ran off.
Dusk bolted the other way hoping to cut her off in the next aisle, but she saw him and made a beeline to the next one over.
Dusk had to run up the aisle to be able to even see her, but alas, he lost track of her.
Dusk started searching for her, gathering groceries as he went, eventually Eris giggled and gave her position away.
The chase was on.
The pair got all kinds of looks as they ran through every aisle smiling.
Glares, smiles, and confused laughs; looks of longing, jealously, one couple even giving them a look contempt, wishing they had that kind of fun. A store clerk pointed his hoof down an aisle and smiled at Dusk as he came around the corner, letting him know where Eris went.
Eventually Eris was caught by her tail and gave up.
“Can you go an hour without causing a scene?” Dusk said between his heavy breathing.
“You could have just ignored me and let me run off,” responded Eris as she ran a claw down his jaw line.
“Now, what kind of stallion would I be if I did that?” Dusk asked as he played along.
“A single one,” Eris teased.
“Like I would let you get away,” he teased her back.
“I’m just too awesome to leave,” Eris sighed as if it was a burden.
Eris quickly moved and pressed herself into Dusk, nearly forcing him to rear up. she took his face in her claws and brought hers closer to his. She leaned towards Dusk and gave him a very slimy lick from the end of his face to the base of his horn.
Shivers of disgust ran across Dusk body as he pushed Eris off him.  
“Eris! Really?!” he yelled at her.
Eris gave him an evil giggle as she watched him wipe the saliva from his face with his foreleg.
“Come on, Eris, we have to finish,” Dusk said as he stomped off.





The couple made it home around noon, neither one had a chance to eat breakfast and their stomachs were becoming hostile.
“Wait, Eris,” Dusk said as he stopped her at the door.
His horn lit up and Eris saw several flashes of purple through the windows. Then Dusk teleported the grocery goods into their home.
“I was going to wait till tonight, but you’re hungry, I'm hungry…”  Dusk open the door and let the scene inside do the talking.
Inside all the furniture was gone; in the middle of the floor sat a candlelit table for two. As the couple entered all the curtains closed and candles all around them came to life, dancers of light and shadow flickered over the library. Salads and baguettes already sat on the table waiting for them.
“It’s an anniversary for us,” Dusk explained. “Four years ago we met for the first time, not under the best circumstances, but it’s our first memory. I remember when you challenged my friends and me in front of the garden maze. You smelled of sweet peas and something new.”
Eris found herself uncomfortable again; raw sentiment was just not her thing. Dusk was her first on many things, despite Elusive calling her a harlot on many occasions.
Dusk knew how she felt and wrapped his for leg around one of hers.
Eris turned and looked at him smiling at her. “You still smell of sweat peas and something new. To this day I can’t pinpoint what that other smell is. That’s why I love you Eris; every day is new to me now, because of you.”
> Slaps and Giggles
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------


Dusk felt warmth spread from his heart as he looked at Eris. It has been one crazy trip after another with her around and, good or bad, he was happy to be with her; he was happy at this very moment.
“When we first met you were sniffing me?” Eris asked giving Dusk a funny look. “Pervert.”
And the moment was gone.
“Wait, you are calling me perverted?” Dusk asked as Eris gave him a big toothy smile.
“You’re the one sniffing complete strangers,” she countered.
Dusk’s jaw hung open for a second as he gave her a confounded look. “You make enough dick jokes to make Rainbow Blitz cringe.”
“And he can take a lot of dick.”
“Eris!”
“Boom!” Eris yelled and started laughing at her own joke.
Dusk knew he should be angry, he was angry, but he was happy, too. This was his relationship with her: anger and happiness, irritation and happiness, confusion and happiness, frustration and happiness. No matter what she did to him, he always laughed and ended up happy by the end of it. Even with all his adventures, Dusk was a natural shut-in, preferring isolation and meditation to social interaction. His personality clashed perfectly with Eris’, like a dance, or an elegant duel.
Dusk once wondered if he was just a glutton for punishment; Berry reassured him that he wasn’t ‘that kinky’. He didn’t understand him at the time, but living with Eris tends to expand your understanding of innuendos.
Dusk sighed, knowing to pick and choose his battles. He walked over to the table and pulled out a chair for Eris.
“Come on, gorgeous. I know you’re hungry,” He said as he motioned for her to join him.
“Um…wait, just wait right there.” Eris snapped her claw and was gone. Leaving Dusk alone, at the table, in a candle lit room, and feeling awkward.
“Even when she’s gone things are strange.” Dusk sat down and looked around at the empty room. “And now she has me talking to myself.”
A flash of light coming from the second floor told Dusk she was back; another bright light turned the sliding pole back into stairs
Slowly and uncomfortably, Eris walked down the stairs. Half way down the steps she stopped and looked at Dusk; she grasped the railing tightly as if to keep her there. She stared at her partner trying to read his reaction.
Dusk Shine laid eyes on a sight that not even his mentor has seen: the spirit of chaos blushing.
She wore a black corset style dress with white trimming that belled out at her waist. The corset covered only her stomach so that white puffy fabric covered her chest. The bell gave her more room in the back so that her tail didn’t raise her dress but it hugged her thighs to show the perfect amount of her curves. This explained a lot about this morning to Dusk. Eris must have been planning this for him all weekend. The fact that she worked with Elusive made it even more special. She was so cute. He never considered her the kind to ever wear a dress, but now she has surprised him yet again.
To Dusk, Eris was like a lily in a field of red roses, the white dress at a funeral; how she stood out made her all the more, gorgeous.
Eris resumed her trek down the stairs. At the bottom she stopped again and took an over dramatic pose. “So, how amazing am I?”
Dusk smiled at her. “Isn’t everything you do amazing?”
Eris quickly flew up to Dusk and almost knocked him over as she embraced him. “My Dusky is so smart, that’s why I love you.”
“Aww, you love me,” Dusk said playfully. The sultry smile on Eris dulled and flattened. She let go of Dusk and turned her back on him in a huff; the dress twirled with her body, lifting up slightly. Dusk’s heart skipped a beat at the sight.
“Never mind,” she said dismissively.
Dusk never went a day without saying the ‘L’ word; Eris however had to be inebriated or exhausted to even mutter it.
“Nope, you can’t take it back,” Dusk retorted.
“Well you can’t prove I said it.” Eris looked back at Dusk and stuck her tongue out at him.
Dusk smirked. “Yes I can.”
He light up his horn and a watery image of her saying it as she hugged him flowed out of his horn into the air.
“See,” Eris sighed. “Now I have to kill you.”
“Let’s eat first.” Dusk said. “Then you can kill me.”
“Fine.” She said dismissively.
All through the meal Dusk kept eyeballing Eris in her outfit. He loved the dress. He had to refocus on his meal from time to time or else suffer an embarrassment that only males had to deal with. His body was not easily distracted as every time he looked away Eris would run the fluff her tail up his leg making him drop his silverware more than a few times. He would glare and she would act innocent every time. So Dusk tried ignoring her. His plan backfired as she her tail found its way between his legs making him cough on some bread. Instead of helping as he choked, Eris just laughed and pointed.
“I’m so happy my discomfort entertains you,” Dusk said after he got his breath back.
“It does,” She responded with a smile. “In fact you’ve entertained me so much that I have decided not to kill you.”
“Well, that’s a relief,” Dusk said sarcastically.
“Speaking of relief...” Dusk found his marefriend’s tail between his legs again. His body jerked out of surprise. “You squirm like a little filly,” She teased.
Dusk narrowed his eyes at her; he grabbed her tail out from between his legs and yanked. He pulled her right out of her chair.
“Eep!” Eris squeaked as Dusk dragged her under the table to him. He looked down, ready to get her back, but he froze and turned red.
Her dress had bunched up to the corset section; exposing her lower half to him. Eris hardly ever wore clothes, so the lack of clothes was nothing new. The black panties with a white bow at the waistline were. His gaze climbed up her body to her face. For only the second time in his life he could see scarlet fill her cheeks. Her wide eyes and soft expression reflected that Eris was genuinely surprised by Dusk and his action. He had never seen such an innocent look to his girls as she lied there on the floor. The entire view of Eris sprawled out underneath him with that look and those clothes made time stand still for Dusk.
“My stallion has grown bold.” Eris’ voice was hardly above a whisper. She meant to tease him, but the sincerity in her words slipped through.
Her soft voice drew his gaze to her eyes. He had never seen her in this light. Their intimacy has always been of a playful sort. You’d be surprised how easily a game of hide and seek turns into a frolic in a haystack.
Dusk was still hovering above her on the edge of his chair; his eyes fixed on her expression. They slid down her body becoming transfixed on the undergarments, his heart hammering its way out of his chest.
You never fail to surprise me, Eris,Dusk thought to himself.
The break from his gaze snapped Eris out of her own transfixion. She’d never admit it, but she was embarrassed and very self-conscious about what she had on. After she turned a new leaf and obtained her very first friend, she had to learn a lot about relationships, even more so after she decided to make Dusk her mate, her first mate. These two years she discovered so many new things about herself that she never knew existed. Now, with her stallion staring at her like he was, she felt exposed for the first time in her long life. This new sensation made her discover another new feeling. Dusk made her feel safe. Here she was exposed in a way that she had never been before, but because it was Dusk Shine she was happy about it. Then she felt a little disappointed; the panties were supposed to be a surprise for him later on, but she decided to roll with it like she always did.
She looked down at herself, following Dusk’s gaze.
“Well cats out of the bag…or should I say out of the dress.” Her ears and eyes perked up. “Hey!” she clicked her tongue. “I just made a pussy joke!”
Dusk faced hoofed.
“Why do you ruin perfectly good moments, like this, with that mouth of yours?” Dusk groaned in annoyance.
“Oh come on, Dusky.” As Eris spoke in a playful manner, she got up and climbed onto Dusk’s chair. She forced him to sit back as she straddled him. She took his face in her claws and forced him to look up at her. “You know I’ve started just as many moments like this with my mouth.” With a smirk, she slowly kissed him.
“You still hungry?” Eris asked after she pulled away from his lips. She then ran her tongue up the edge of his ear. “Because I have something you can eat.” She whispered to him before she bit him. She could feel Dusk ear heat up as she nibbled on it.
Eris flapped her wings and floated backwards looking down at a red faced Dusk Shine.
“Two years and I still can make you blush like a little school colt,” Eris teased in and endearing voice.
Like a fish in water Eris did a loop in the air and flew up to Dusk, pressing her muzzle against his.
“Eris.” Dusk nearly fell off the chair trying to get away from her. “Don’t-”
Eris licked his entire face. Saliva dripped from his fur, his mane was sticking straight up, and he had a grimace on his face.
“Really, Eris, really?” Dusk berated as he wipe his face with one of the napkins on the table. “You know I hate it when you do that.”
“I knooow.” Eris tilted her head and smiled. “Why do you think I keep on doing it?”
Eris climbed off of Dusk and walk towards the stairs, her tail swinging enticingly. “Come my little Dusky, you may tuck me in now.”
“It’s the middle of the day!” Dusk exclaimed as she made her way up the stairs. “How are you tired?”
“Never said I was going to sleep.” Eris clarified as she disappeared into their bedroom.
“Ummmm…” Dusk stared at the table and considered cleaning up. “Yea.”
The stallion pushed everything else out of his mind as he bolted upstairs.


	
“Dusk! You’re back!” Spines ran through the door of the library to her long time friend and squeezed him.
“Whoa! It’s great to see you too but what put you in such a hugging mood?” he asked as he returned the pleasant embrace.
“It rhymes with sick, lick, flick, and brick!” Eris yelled out from upstairs.
Dusk looked up at the second floor with a confused look in his eyes, but he shrugged it off. He learned a long time ago that with Eris it’s sometime…most of the time actually, better not to know.
“Is Eris in bed?” Spines ask in a confused voice.
Dust started to walk toward the book shelves. “Yea she’s kind of worn out right now,” Dusk answered without thinking about it.
“From what?”  Spines asked with a frown on her face.
Dust froze mid-step and cringed, cursing himself for walking into that. “Er..she…its..just been a long day. Could you, um, help me with the books I have been away for several days?”
“Sure thing!” Chirped Spines, happy to fill her role as Dusk’s assistant.
Dusk made it to wall of books and started putting a couple of them in the right categories, a practice that had become more frequent since Eris moved in. As he worked, Dusk made a mental noted to scold Eris for trying to sneak porn into the children’s section, and the cooking section, and the biography section, pretty much every section he went through. Dusk rolled his eyes when he found that she put a whole bunch of books on caves and towers in the adult section. One of them was an old book titled Large Erection of Ancient History.
“I honestly don’t blame her for that one,” Dusk said to himself as he placed the book back into the history section.
“I know, right!” Dusk heard Eris yell from upstairs...again. “It was almost too easy.”
“How is she doing that?” Dusk asked to no one in particular.
“You know better than to ask that.” Spines joked as she started to help Dusk reorder the books. “Oh, here is another one.” Spines said as she pulled a cookbook out of the adult section.
“’Stuffing your Clams with Cucumbers’” Dusk read out loud making Spines giggle a little bit. Dusk, however, just sighed. “I have actually used this book a few times. Now I can’t ever look at it the same way.”
“Read page 69!” Eris yelled out.
“How is she doing that?” Spines asked as Dusk opened the book and read out loud.
“Spreading mayonnaise over your flow-“ Dusk slammed the book closed put it back on the wall.
Spines was doing her best to stifle her laughter, wanting to appear mature. Another out of place book caught her eye. She reached out pulled it just enough to see the title, but she accidently pulled out the graphic novel in front of it as well. Her eyes widen a little as she read the titles.
“Hey, Dusk, check out this one.” She said as she elbowed her lifelong friend.
Dusk followed Spines direction and found a self help book behind a popular comic book. He read the titles and sighed.
BatStallion: Origins
Dealing with Your Parents’ Death
“Really, Eris? Really?” Dusk said out loud.
“At least it’s not another dick joke!” the spirit yelled out from upstairs…for the fourth time.
Dusk smacked his face with his hoof. “Did she leave her ear down here or something?”
“Ew,” Spines said with a grimace. “I hate it when she does that. I asked her to help me clean up the kitchen while you were gone. She was too lazy to get up so she just sent her claws in. Scared the scales right off my tail.”
“I can hear you two ya know. Why are you guys yelling anyways?” Eris came the top of the stairs and looked down at the two.
“We’re not yelling,” Spines responded.
“What?!” Eris yelled as if she was speaking over loud music. “Why are you whispering? Is this some kind of lame joke? If it is I taught you better than this, Dusk.”
Spines and Dusk looked at each other for a moment before turning back just in time to see the spirit vanish. They heard rummaging coming from the kitchen. The two silently agreed to investigate. They found Eris ducked into the fridge pulling out half of its content all rolled up in a ball. She looked like she was about to fall over.
“Eris? What are you doing?” Dusk asked in a concerned voice.
Eris responded with a deep, eccentric, voice. “What bitches are supposed to do in a kitchen! Make sandwiches!”
Dusk groaned “Really, Eris, the pimp routine? It wasn’t funny the first time.”
Eris ignored him and placed all the food on the counter. She went to the food cabinet and found it devoid of bread.
“No bread!” Eris pointed her claw at Dusk “You! Get to da sto’ and buy me bread!”
“Can't you just conjure some bread?” Dusk moaned.
Eris threw her claws in the air as if her colt just insulted her. “Oh helllll naw! Where my baby powder, bitch needs to be slapped!”
Before Dusk could respond the draconequus ran past him and Spines in the direction of the bathroom.
Spines and Dusk gave each other a concerned look. Eris did act up a lot but her mannerisms were never this sporadic.
They followed her and stood outside the bathroom. They could hear Eris heave into the toilet and flush before she open the door slowly. Her face was pale and her movements were sluggish.
“I thought I had to pee.” She said to the onlookers. “I was wrong.”
“You should brush your teeth, dear,” Dusk said in a concerned voice. “Spines, do we have any soda water?”
As Spines ran back to the kitchen Eris gradually trudges back into lavatory. “I still need to pee.” She whined.
Dusk made his way to the kitchen to see if they had any ginger that would help her feel better. Just as he placed his hoof on the door he could hear a faint repetition.
“Doozy, doozy,  doozy, doozy, doozy, doozy, doozy,”
“Not now.” Dusk groaned. He positioned himself parallel to the tree house entrance. The stallion lit up his horn and opened the front door. He pulled every cushion and fixture within range of his magic to him. He piled everything in front of him like shield and braced himself.
“Doozy, doozy, doozy, doozy, doozy, doozy, doozy!”
A pink blur shot through the door and collided with the mountain of fluff sending an explosion of feathers in all directions.
“Dusk!” Berry cried out as he pulled his friends deadpan face to his. “I felt a doozy and it’s a doozy of a doozy.”
Dusk pulled the pink stallion’s hooves off of him to give him room to move his jaw. “Thanks for the heads up, but does your Berry sense have anything to say about what this doozy is about?”
“That’s not how it works, silly,” Berry said through a laugh.
Dusk could only roll his eyes. “Well since you’re here would you like to hang out? Eris is-“
Like a stone in his belly, Desk felt the twinge of panic when the sound of a body falling came from the bathroom.
Him and Berry ran to the door and flung it open. The color drained from Dusks coat as he saw the unconscious body of Eris on the floor.


	
In a white room with the most mundane décor lied the most unusual patient the Ponyville Memorial has ever seen. Machines attached to the spirit beeped and hummed all around her.
Next to the bed Dusk fought the urge to climb into the sheets and hold on to her as tight as he could muscle. Despite being there for only a few hours the purple stallion looked like he had been awake for days. His ears perked up to the sound of hooves approaching the door. With a squeak it opened to Spines leading a group of stallions into the room.
“Hey, Dusk,” Spines said solemnly, but her tone cheered up quickly. “Found some ponies that would like to be here when our favorite mare, I mean, spirit, wakes up.”
“Sup D!” Blitz chirped as he walked past Spines straight to Dusk’s side.
“Hello, Dusk Shine,” Elusive said.
“How is she doing?” Butterscotch asked as he flew over and hovered above Eris’ still sleeping body.
“Hello everypony. The doctor just got done with the last test, he said it may be nothing but it’s important to check.” He looked down at her claw and put his hoof on it. “She hasn’t even moved.”
Berry’s pink tail backed up into the room as he dragged in a white cannon with a red cross on the barrel.
“I usually fill my get well party cannon with streamers, balloons, and medicine that goes into the leg.” He imitated somepony giving him a shot in the leg. “But I could only find the needles on such a short notice.” As he spoke he started to aim his favorite party tool right at Eris.  
“I think it’s best to let her rest.” Elusive said rather quickly.
“Howdy, ya’ll.” The deep twang of Applejack announced his arrival. “Sorry ah couldn’t get away from the farm any sooner.”
“AJ!” Spines chirped before she ran up to the large stallion.
“Heya, sunflower,” AJ responded. “How is she?”
“She is awake,” Eris said turning all the heads towards her. “And apparently very popular with the stallions.” She added as she looked around the room; Dusk letting out a sigh of relief. “Too bad none of you are my type.”
“What about me?” Dusk asked knowing full well it was a set up.
“Eh.” Eris shrugged. “I tolerate you.”
Despite the joke, everypony was smiling at Eris and her apparent recovery.
“Sooo.” Eris spoke as she stretched her arms out. “Besides insanity and my taste in stallions, what’s wrong with me?”
“You simply didn’t have enough iron in your blood.” The resident doctor said as he walked in. “I assumed it was as much but assumptions are dangerous in my line of work. You just need to eat more leafy greens; some more milk is also suggestible.” He pulled out Eris’ chart from the front of her bed and glanced at it. “Omnivore, hmm, fish or any white meat if you can find it.”
“So it was her diet?” Butter Scotch asked.
“No, her diet is fine she just a little anemic, normal for her condition.”
“Condition?” Dusk asked as he tilted his head.
The doctor turned a page over on the chart then looked up at Eris. “You are with foal, correct?”
Everypony in the room just froze with their jaws on the ground.
“Oooooooohhhh,” said Berry breaking the silence. “So that’s the doozy!”

To his girls?

	The doctor looked up at five shocked ponies, a chimera holding her stomach laughing while pointing at her mate’s dumbfounded face and one vibrating pink stallion.  He was a little concerned by their reaction. The physician was not one to make a mistake so easily; he was certain they already knew of the pregnancy. He flipped back through her file and lost a little color. 
“I don’t suppose you go by the name Green Hoof?” He asked sheepishly.
Eris started laughing even harder as Dusk looked like he was about to fall over. “Oh wow.” She wiped a tear from her eye. “I am legitimately entertained right now.”
Embarrassed, the doctor excused himself to correct the error. 
Eris looked down at her belly. “As funny as that was I’m glad. I really don’t care to host a parasite.”
“Eris!” Elusive said sternly. “Unborn foals are not parasites.”
Eris just smirked. “Dusky? What defines a parasite?”
Dusk thought for a moment before quoting the textbook definition. “Um…a parasite is an organism that lives on or in a host and gets its food from or at the expense of its host.”
“Foals are parasites.” Eris sang. “And they stay that way until they can wipe their own ass.”
“I find myself relieved that you’re not reproducing.” Elusive said smugly.
“I’m not.” It may have been a whisper but everypony in the room heard Dusk’s comment. An uncomfortable silence swept over the group of friends. 
The hoof steps of the doctor sounded like hammers smashing on the tile as he walked back into the room. “My apologies for the mixup, I do have your correct file and as it turns out I had the right test just the wrong medical history.”
Dusk’s eyes widen at the notion. 
Blitz didn’t catch on. “Sooo….” 
“It was anemia caused by pregnancy.” The doctor looked at Eris and Dusk. “Congratulations.”
Everypony in the room either deadpanned or glared at the doctor. 
“There is a special place in hell for you.” Eris said in a flat tone. 
The doctor only flinched slightly. He was used to giving all kind of news to his patients so her comment had little effect.
“How is this possible?” Spines asked. “They are two very different species.”  She glanced at AJ for a second. “Wouldn’t their genetic code be too different?”
“Logically yes, however Eris is a chimera. The core of her biology is dragon and pony. So I would have to assume that her reproductive organs are one or the other. 
Spines gulped. “Wouldn’t they, her organs I mean, have to be pony?”
The doctor shook his head.”As it turns out, no; the genetic markers that give us ponies our magic are the same that dragons have.”
Butter Scotch flew up to the doctor. The look on his face was like a foal that was just givin chocolate. “There are really dragon ponies?”
“I never heard of this before.” Dusk commented. “Never even read anything that hinted at it.”
“No surprise there,” agreed the doctor. “I only know of this because of Spines. After the first few times that she visited a lot of us had to learn about dragon physiology for her sake; didn’t see it coming of use in this way though.”
Spines was growing nervous. “These um… dragon ponies.”
“Longma,” the doctor interrupted.
“What?” Spines tilted her head.
“They’re called longma.” The doctor answered. “Funny name.”
“Only to us.” Dusk commented. “It’s an eastern tongue. I had to learn their language in order to greet some dignitaries from the region. I don’t know much but I recognize the accent in the word.”
“Well,” Spines said as she tried to pick up from where she left off. “These longmas are rare or we would have known more of them. So I can assume that it difficult to um…produce them?” 
“I see what you’re asking.” The doctor said. “But no the odds of impregnation are the same as a pair of ponies. The only reason longmas are rare is because the coupling of dragon and pony are rare.”
“You’re very curious about this, Spines.” Dusk chirped in.
Spines blushed a little before she answered. “Y-yes well I don’t really know much about my kind.” 
Eris grinned knowingly and glanced at AJ who was hiding his face under his hat.
“Wait.” Blitz smirked and looked over at Dusk. “So D knocked up Eris?” He flew up to his friend and punched him in the shoulder. “You dog you!”
“How am I a dog?” Dusk asked as he rubbed his shoulder. 
Blitz shrugged. “I think it’s more like you did it like a dog.” 
Dusk glared a little bit at Blitz. “How could I do it like a dog?”
“Depends on the position.” Eris chirped in earning her a hoof bump from Blitz. 
Dusk just rolled his eyes and ignored their immaturity.
“So...” Butter Scotch timidly placed a hoof on Eris’ shoulder. “You’re going to be a mom?”
“Well…”Eris snapped her claw. “Not anymore.”
Everypony in the room went white as paper with no life in their eyes. Blitz fell out of the air and Butter Scotch passed out.
Eris started laughing harder than she had all day. 
“Oh boys, I would be a lot more bored without you all. I’m kidding guys; I can’t make something just go away like that. If I could I wouldn't have been turned to stone so many times.”
Eris turned her head to Dusk to give him one of her snarky smiles, but her glee melted away when she met his eyes.
“Oh buck.” She said before he teleported away. 
Dusk had never been this upset with Eris and she had never seen that look in his eyes before. The moment she saw it she knew that she had finally crossed the line with him. 
“I-I…I gotta go guys.” Eris said as she snapped her claw.
“No wait, I haven’t discharged.” She was gone. “You.”
“Hey doc could you help me with Butter Scotch?” Blitz asked as he tried to wake up his fellow pegasi. 
“Dusk having a foal with Eris.” Spines said to no one. “No, that’s not going to be stressful.”
Berry shot across the room and nearly tackled Spines. “You think that’s going to be stressful?!” He started shaking her by her shoulders. “I have to throw a shower for the Spirit of Chaos.” His eyes seem to jump out of his sockets as he went on. “The Spirit of Chaos! How in tartarus am I going to pull that off!” He nearly threw Spines to the ground as the look of dread washed over his face. “What if because of the foal they get married then I also have throw bachelor party then a wedding party and the pony-dragon-chimera abomination will have birthday parties. What if it doesn't work out between those two? What if it’s a real nasty divorce? Can you imagine the fights between those two? What if the writer becomes tired of this joke and ends the chapter right here?"

	Elusive knocked on the wooden door to the library. A purple aurora enveloped the door as it opened up to a very tired looking Dusk.
“My word Dusk Shine you’re worse for wear.” The classy stallion commented. “I forgo the wine so not to be rude to Eris but it seems it would have been appropriate.”
Dusk responded slowly; like a toy on its last battery. “Eris. Doesn't sleep. Anymore. Crazy hormones. Dick. So raw.” 
Elusive was taken aback by the explanation. “There are things that should stay between a stallion and his mare. So I am to assume the pregnancy has had its effect on her?”
A multi color blur ran between the stallions. “Gotta pee, gotta pee, gotta pee.” Eris repeated as she dived into the nearest bush. 
Wide eyed, Elusive stared at the plant. “Don’t you have a lavatory?”
Dusk’s tired expression went unchanged. “She can’t stand them anymore.”
Elusive raised an eye brow at the purple stallion. “Bathrooms?” 
“I’m still going?” Eris shirked from her hiding spot. 
“It’s the toilets.” Dusk clarified. “Every time she sees one she becomes nauseas.” 
“I’m still peeing!” Eris yelled in frustration.
“She’s classy as ever.” Elusive commented. “May I come in?”
The exhausted stallion sluggishly stepped aside and let his friend in. The two made their way center of the library where they always hung out. Dusk groaned discontently as he sat down on the wooden floor. 
“Did you bring it?” He asked.
“What exactly are you planning to use this for.” Elusive asked as he floated over clear plastic bag with a grounded herb inside. 
Dusk took the back and placed it in front of him. “It’s a working hypothesis but if proven I'll get some sleep.”  
Eris flew through one of the windows instead of going through the door. She slowly floated down and wrapped herself around Dusk nuzzling him behind his ear. “I want belly rubs.” She whispered in his ear.
“We have company, gorgeous.” Dusk answered. 
Eris head snapped up and looked wide eyed at Elusive as if he appeared out of nowhere. “Oh I’m sorry Elusive; how are you?” She said politely. 
“Um, hello Eris what have you been up to, my dear?” The tailor was a little confused by her manner. 
“I’m pretty sure I just killed a bush but not much.” Eris went back to snuggling her stallion making Elusive wonder if he should excuse himself from their home.
Dusk, however, looked like he wasn’t interested in anything she had to offer. He slowly opened the bag and pulled out the herb; floating it into the air. Eris became transfixed on the brown mass of old dried leafs. Dusk flung it across the room with his magic and his mate dived after it.
Elusive watch perplexed as the spirit rolled all over the floor purring while rubbing the small tuff of plant life on her face.
The white stallion turned back to Dusk “I didn’t know cat nip worked on her.”
“Neither did I, but I’d hope that there was enough feline in her.” Dusk started to curl up on the floor.
Elusive went back to watching Eris roll on the floor like a large house cat. He caught a glimpse of her now dilated pupils. 
“Is that healthy for the foal?” Elusive asked in a concerned voice.
“Don’t know don’t really care right now.” Dusk answered. 
Elusive tried to retort but Dusk’s snoring stopped him. He let his concerns go and went back to watching Eris roll around on the floor. As he turned his gaze upon her he found the soon to be mother just inches from his face. The  catnip forgotten on the floor behind her.
“What is the last thing you remember?” She asked. Her voice didn’t carry its usual tone, she spoke like a guard trying to question him. 
“The um…the hospital, and the doctor telling us you're expecting.” Elusive answered. 
“Good.” Eris stated; she then walked on all fours and lied down on her back next to Dusk.  
Elusive’s eyes widen as he looked her extended belly. She was easily six months pregnant if not more. He couldn’t figure out why he never noticed it before.
Eris eyed him for a little bit. “You sure the last thing you remember was the hospital?” she asked.
“Y-yes.” He answered hesitantly.
“Good.”
