by PurpleArtist


Chapter 15: Promotion

At the Canterlot War Department Target had her back hooves on the desk while she relaxed on the chair but with her pictures of her and her husband, herself, Purple Artist, her and her brother Sergeant Green, and her and Purple's foals Artmark, Harp, Double Eagle her husband niece Scalpel and nephew Flyer.

Her brother told her to get her hooves off the desk where she quickly sat up only to see Purple Artist who she told him that she's going to kill him but he told her that if she kills him then who's going to give her foals but she asked on what he wants where he asked her out to lunch.

At the park the 2 ate lunch where he had a pico de gallo wrap also a strawberry milkshake where she has a soft drink, chocolate cake and a fruit salad, & green salad but ate in piece until there was a mare that called her over so Target trotted over.

It was her mother who asked if she's married yet where Target told her parents that she's happily married and told them that her parents that her husband is a cutie pie but they don't live in Canterlot but in Ponyville.

They looked away from her in disgust but called there daughter as a "country mare" as a bad name where she was born and raised in Canterlot but she told them fine there going to be rude well they'll never meet there grand-foals but her brother he's supportive of her being a "country mare" who's a mother, wife and hard worker.

She walked away in disgust but when she sat next down to her husband her father trotted over and told his daughter that they weren't expecting to hear on what she said but asked if she knows the stallion she's sitting next to where Purple told him that he's her husband and the father of there foals.

He rapidly shook Purple's hoof where Purple though he was going to lose his hoof or leg where the almost elderly stallion in a dark blue pinstriped 3 piece suit, red and white spotted tie and fedora that matches the suit but his mother in law didn't shake his hoof.

His mother called him nothing but country but he told her that he may have been born in Sire's Hollow but he was raised in Canterlot and he chose on his own free will to live in the country where it's more peaceful in the countryside and more quiet in the countryside where he loves it in the countryside and his wife loves it as well where she can sleep more peacefully then the city.

Target's mother just shook her head where she has a distaste for country ponies calling them uncivilized but he told her that there more civilized and more polite where in the countryside the stallions earth, unicorn or pegasus they hold the door open for the mares and ask permission for a kiss.

He and his mother in law just hostility talked to each other where when he used his magic to pick up his wrap so he could take a bite of it where she used her hoof and knocked it down where he just calmed himself where he was about to kill her where he paid good money for his and Target's lunch.

He just told his wife that he's going to go back to work in Ponyville where she told him not to go but he told her that his lunch break will be over in 7 minutes but she told him that it's 7 minutes they can spend together but he told her that he's just going to go.

He teleport back to Ponyville where she told them that can she finish her lunch in peace where her father complied and left but her mother didn't but she threw away there lunch and Target became the better pony and walked away.

She went back to work only to find her brother sitting on her desk with a cider bottle where she told her that cider is contraband in the War Department but told her to move to her new office where she packed up and moved into a 12 x 15 office which was a dark navy blue office which was a upgrade from a cramped 10 x 10 archive/file room.

On the door her brother placed a sign onto the glass door which says "HEAD SECURITY MARE MRS. TARGET ARTIST" but she placed blinds on the 2 plane windows and glass door.

Her brother came with files she'll need but told her that he placed them onto her new desk but she placed her family photos onto her desk but when he placed the boxes onto the desk he knocked down the photos and accidentally broke one.

She picked up the shattered photo where a piece of glass that cut a piece of Purple Artist where he galloped out of there before his sister killed him but she had time to settle in to her new office but placed the files into filing cabinets but at 4:10 P.M she checked out and teleported home.

She wasn't really shocked to see that Purple made lasagna for the 4th time in a row but she loves his cooking and she loves a stallion in uniform even though his police uniform is a mess she used her magic to remove the clothing and place'em in the laundry basket.

While dinner was baking she did laundry but asked Purple on what was on his mind where he just said "Don't know why but i want to know why our government and military see's me as nothing but a breeder that i should knock up brave and couragious military mares like it's about to fall out of style. Only mare i want to have foals with is you my dear. I would say my ex marefriend but i think she moved on when she and her family arrived in Manehattan several years ago when her and i were 16." he said on what he was thinking about and mentioned his ex girlfriend.

After dinner the 2 sat on the rocking seat where she leaned against him where she told him that she got promoted to head security where he told her that her next promotion should be princess of the Princess Threat Assignment Adviser.

She called him sweet for saying that but she doesn't know on how she got promoted where she kissed him but when it turned 7:30 she took a shower after him but after the shower she dried off with a towel but walked by her and her husband's study where she entered it.

It was a form for a promotion where it had Target's name on it by her husband where he and Sergeant Green wrote a lot of them to get Target promoted where she earned 108 bits a hour or 1080 bits per day where Purple still earns 21 bits a hour or 168 bits a day a total of 1248 bits a week.

She surprised her husband who was smiling where he's happy that his wife got promoted but wasn't sad that his wife makes way more then him which he doesn't care but the 2 went to bed where she kissed him and told him for him wanting her to get promoted but he kissed her back and they went to bed.

In the morning at the police ponies the stallion officer's harassed even picked on Purple Artist for him making less than his wife where he just ignored them where to him it doesn't matter who makes the most amount of bits a year where for her it's 280,800 bits a year and 23,400 bits a month or 5,400 a week for him it's 168 bits a day, 3,640 bits a month, or 43,680 a year or together it's 324,480 bits.

She just sat in the leather rolling chair not knowing what to do where when she was in the archives room or personnel room she mostly read even the soldiers and guards profiles even though classified and personal stuff on the soldiers and guards even her husband as well where she has leverage on all the soldiers and guards.

It was 12:00 Pm there was a knock on her door where she told the pony or creature to enter where it was her husband where he asked if she's ready for lunch but she walked over to him seductively and used her magic and and closed the door also windows blinds where no pony or no creature can look in but put a "DO NOT DISTURB" sign onto the door knob but locked the door.

She wrapped her hooves around him and started to kiss him in a long and sweet way until she knocked him down onto the carpeted floor and the 2 made out where she told him in 30 minutes they'll eat lunch.

When it turned 12:30 the 2 stopped making out where she told him that she's happy but he told her that he never expected to have well his adoptive parents always used the term whoopee inside of a government building but she already had lunch there which she had wrapped up and kept warm.

She used her fork to eat the asparagus but went for Purple's asparagus but he blocked her using his fork and told her to ask nicely but he doesn't like asparagus where she asked nicely but made a point that she bears his foals, feeds him and other job that a wife does to keep there husband happy but he knows how to take care of himself.

She looked at him with a puppy face where he took his plate and slid the asparagus off his plate and he continued to eat the lunch where they talked but she had bad news for him.

When the 2 were in high school Target she had a boyfriend named "Bank Note" but the 2 went there separate ways due to he was a jerk but he's obsessed over Target and wants her to be married but make her bear his foals and so but doesn't want her to work where she was ambitious in school of being class president and captain of the debate team to name a few.

She told him that her security scouts thinks he's in danger where he told her that his job as a soldier is to be in serious danger but she told him that she wants to give him a protection team to protect him and so but he told her no but she had another puppy face on her face.

He told her fine where she told him she'll get 2 of her best mares to protect him where he doesn't want to know he has 2 mares to protect him where his wife told him that he likes mares and the war dept propaganda where he told her no unless if it's wife but she asked on what if she gives him order to where he told her no.

He got up and kissed his wife bye where his lunch break is almost over but she kissed him back but called the 2 mare guards to be with him where outside of the room they followed him like there instructed to protect him with there lives.

Outside a crimson red unicorn had a lavender pistol there double action revolver where he fired 2 shot's at Purple declaring that he stole his mare from him but the 2 mares jumped onto the crimson red unicorn placing him under arrest where the 2nd bullet hit the building where the 1st bullet hit Purple Artist hitting him in the neck.

One of the mares went and got a doctor who the stallion doctor he placed tweezers and removed the bullet and patched him up as new despite being shot he was ready to go back to work or what not as if nothing happened.

Target came out where she saw Purple getting patched up by the doctor where she asked the doctor if he's okay where the doctor told him that he'll live and be fine but removed the bullet but he's partially stunned.

He went back to work but didn't want to have the ponies his wife assigned to him he didn't want to have to have them follow him around.

In the building holding cell Target asked her ex boyfriend on why she shot her husband where there not dating anymore where he can't get over it that she broke up with him for good and he can't get it through but told him that if he comes after her husband or family it won't be pretty or if he comes after her and husband's foals then all bets are off.

He tried to kiss her but she poked him in the eye with her unicorn horn where he told her that he always liked her being feisty but she took her hoof and slapped him but she also told him that he'll go through pain that'll be 5,000,000,000,000 (5 trillion) times more painful then a mare giving birth.

She turned around where he took his hoof and slapped her on her small cute flank/plot where she told the 4 guards to take a small break where they did but she quickly opened the cell and closed it where she took her time where then the guards came back she left with some blood on her hooves and her face but washed the blood off her hooves.

At home she told Purple to move away from the fridge so she could get something to drink where they kept bumping into each other but Purple told her that he'll go right and she'll go right or his left but they kept bumping into each other.

She yelled at him to just back up and go around her or she'll kill him but she just said that at the spur of the moment and anger where he did on what she said but also deeply sadden him where he just walked off sad where she didn't attempt to make sad but she didn't apologize thinking that he wouldn't take it on how he actually did.

At dinner Scalpel she asked on where's her uncle is at where Target she looked around the table where Purple wasn't there where she told her that she'll find him where the 1st place she looked was the garage where he's building a boat by hoof not by magic but he wasn't there.

She searched the entire house and couldn't find him unknown that he's sitting on the roof where she didn't see him until she decided to search outside and saw him sitting on the roof looking at the sky being at the nautical twilight of the sky where the sun is setting.

She teleport next to him to talk to him but he just moved away from her wanting to be left alone where she told him to come eat dinner with the family but he told her no and he wants to be left alone or what she said out of anger on how he told her on how she just didn't poison his to kill him.

She didn't know on what she said to him really broken him where she doesn't know on how she could fix him where she asked if he could come inside and eat with the family besides her but he told her that he'll eat later.

At night while in bed she went to cuddle with Purple but fell out of bed where like again she searched the house but searched the study she found him sleeping on the carpeted floor where she looked at him sad where she went, got a pillow ,and a blanket where she laid down next to him and cuddled with him.

He noticed her where he gotten up and carefully walked out and got to the bed and slept with the blanket he had but had another dream where he was with his real parents and so on.

In the morning when she got up she noticed that Purple was gone where she got up and go to work but when she got her ID badge and noticed him sleeping but his pillows was soaked in tears where he's depressed on where she looked was sad.

She awaken Purple where she wanted to apologize on what she yelled at him but he didn't want to hear it where she got onto the bed and kissed him on if that's any better where it wasn't where she told him she'll just stay with him and make him happy again but told her that he'll get happy his way and she'll get happy her way.

She told him that it's the wife's job to keep the husband happy and it's the husband's job to keep the wife happy but he told her to go to work where before she did she told the 2 mare guards to keep a close eye on him but she also used her magic to make him happy but by the 2 mare pegasus guards,

At the war department while typing on a typewriter her husband came in without knocking to talk to her where he figured out on why she got him 2 mare pegasus guards where she knows he won't hurt a mare but he asked on what he wanted where she's important to the protection of highly classified information in the war dept.

The 2 didn't have a civil talk or a argument where they kept there arguing low so other ponies and creatures won't hear what's going on but her secret talent is seduction where for some reason sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't work for her on her husband but he used his hoof and made a invisible line on the carpet.

He told her that if she stays on that side on where she she is sitting at there marriage can continue to deteriorate and break apart or she can cross it and what happened in the past will be forgotten and they can continue into a happy marriage but they both know that marriages ain't black and white as they saw with there parents.

She held out her hoof where he placed his hoof onto her hoof where she placed her other hoof onto him and pulled him onto her and kissed him where she told him for now on when she's stressed or angry she won't yell at him but they both told each other that they'll be a functional family again and not falling apart.

She just hugged him tightly and told him that she loves him more than she loves her parents and doesn't want to separate away from him where he told her that it won't be a good mental place if they did for there foals.

Her brother came in and asked if they were going to screw or what but Target used her magic and threw a pillow at her brother and told him to get out where she and her husband need a private time to apologize to her husband but he told her that she needs to sign several forms to sign so she told him to place them onto her desk.

He did and left his sister and brother in law alone so she and Purple and apologize to each other where she told him that he is strong where if a regular pony or creature can't get into his head even with magic or dark magic can't get into his head then why can't a petite mare like her can get into his head and mess it up.

He told her that only reason she can due to she's his wife and the mother of there foals so he's going to make a exemption from who he is where she called it a loop hole but she told him that nopony is going to mess with him or she'll mess them up and he told her that if somepony messes with her then he'll talk with them or get physical if necessary.

She told him on that's the reason she agreed to take his hoof in marriage of him going to negotiate with the pony or creature first and if that doesn't work then he'll beat the heck out of them but she then asked on how it went with the 2 mares she has protecting him where he just rubbed the back of his head where she told him that she ordered them to bear a foal from Purple even if it meant force to conceive one and the 2 mares are in there mid 30's.

He looked at his wife where she told him that there getting up there where there thinking about settling down, get married and have a foal here and there where he just looked at her but told her that he's just going to go.

He started to walk out when she used her magic to pull his tail back and told him that she talked to his boss and told him about the treat that no longer exist that if Purple works or comes into the store well a pony is after him and don't want to harm the employees where for 2 weeks he'll be with his wife.

He told her not to intervene with his life but she looked at him where he told her but with that she's just looking out for his welfare for his safety, happiness, mentally and so but she told him
to sit on the couch and stay there.

While working she told him to sing where he asked on what song where she told him the song "Manehattan, Manehattan" where he started to sing the song where it's there version of the song New York New York from Frank Sinatra in 1977 but slightly altered a bit.

After he got done singing she told him to sing the song "It's just life" another parody of a song called "That's life" by the same singer from the previous song where he did where throughout the day he sang "Ain't that a painful punt to the head" a parody of "Ain't that a kick to the head" by Dean Martin, "In the motionless night" a parody of "In the still of the night" by the 5 Satins, "In Las Pegasus" a parody of "Viva Viva Las Vegas" by Elvis Presley and other songs.

Throughout the day he sang country, jazz, blues, doo-wop, easy listening, rock and roll, swing, pop music, and some disco era songs.

At night in Ponyville he was with his niece Scalpel walking with her to the Ponyville Movie Theater where Purple's boss intercepted them and talked to him and told him that he's going to be the desk sergeant of the station now earning 248 bits a hour, 1984 bits a day, 9,920 bits a week, 36,987 bits a month or 432,040 bits a year.

She then told him to enjoy his evening where he told his boss to take care and see him later but he and his niece trotted over to the movie theater and enjoyed the movie where the pegasus mare aka Purple's niece asked on when she and her brother can return home to Manehattan to be with there father and stepmother where he told her until there father or his brother can get his temper under control.

She called it unfair where she was a city mare when she was brought into the world and doesn't want to stay in the countryside but back to the hustle and bustle of the city where after the movie Target she slapped her husband's niece for wanting to go back to the city where until she's a adult or her father get's his temper under control she's going to be a country mare.

Target told her until either or she's going to stop complaining about country life and buck up and either enjoy it or she's going to get hurt so bad she's going to be wishing her mother never gave birth to her where there mother is dead she isn't coming back and the letters that they received on there birthday and Heartswarming was from Purple himself.

Only reason he didn't tell them on there mother death where he doesn't know on how to tell a colt and filly on that there mother is dead and didn't know on how to tell a filly and colt about death where that's when Flyer was 7 and Scalper was 5 and now he's 9 and she's 7 and get over it.

She then yelled at her step-niece to march up stairs and go to bed where Scalpel she did after getting yelled at even scolded by her aunt but she went to bed.

Purple told her thanks for saving him from that can of worms of telling his niece and nephew that there mother is really dead but she just moved her head between top and to the side and asked if he's ready for bed where he told her that he is.

While walking up with his wife he told her that he got promoted and will be bringing home 9920 bits a day where she told him congratulations now where every week they bring home 15320 bits together.
