Twilight Gets a Puppy
Season 6

Applejack's Drakaina Off
[ Ponyville Spa]
"Well now, I will say this again, but I am quite surprised you managed to actually make it on time for once Darling. " Rarity waved a well manicured hoof. "When we first agreed to these meetings to try and bond a little better past our shared, and not so pleasant, history I fully expected you to put a little more effort into meeting."
"Like ah said before and every other time Rarity. It's hard to get away from chores and such. Yah might be able tah hold off working on a design or dress every once in a while, but a lot of what ah do has strict time tables. Plus it's harvest season so me gitting a day off is even rarer." Applejack offered sitting back in the steam room. "It's gotten a lot easier since Ma and Da are back, plus Sunset, then Twilight , Spike, and even Rahs help out from time tah time. Tha fur ball don't even gripe that much any more. Hope ma ain't too hard on him today though."
"Well given your relationship I would expect he wouldn't gripe." Rarity tittered.
"Mai relationship? What about yers? " Applejack scoffed."You and Sombra been gitting mighty close these last couple ah years. And ah'm pretty sure tha whole town recalls that 'something of mine' rant."
"Please, nothing came of that and I corrected him, I am still his parole officer as it were." Rarity pish poshed the notion.
"Yah ain't fooling anyone Rares." Applejack snorted. "He's a Prince, he's tall and dark, and from most view points ah spect he's considered handsome. That ticks every single one of tha boxes yah been pining over fer years."
"I maintain my excuse."
"Better tell Sweetiebelle, Princess Cadence, and the rest of the town that then, cause tha betting pool fer yer weddings gitting ridiculous."
[Sweet Apple Acres, Fall]
Rahs raised an eyebrow looking down at Pear Butter.
Pear Butter glared up at Rahs.
Big Mac and Bright Mac had run off to check the other fields.
The Crusaders were in school.
Sunset was with Twilight working on Tempest's horn.
Granny Smith had pulled out a rocking chair and was watching the pair of them with a grin.
Pear had gone off on a tangent about how she didn't think Rahs was right for her daughter, Rahs found himself agreeing with most of it.
He was a horrible choice of colt friends really, which was why he didn't understand how six girls wanted him. It couldn't be the prestige of dating a god or royalty as most of them were after him before he ascended or was given that title by Luna, and the two that showed up after had more sway than he ever would.
Pear Butter's rant made some sense. He never professed to be a hard worker or have any interest in farming, save for the Zap Apple thing, those were better than catnip. Though his interest was less in the farming of them, and more of the eating of them until he made himself sick.
He did find the Timber wolf howling thing helpful in tracking down the few of the beasts he hadn't destroyed that were still in the Everfree. The bounty on them wasn't very high due to how they regenerated from most hunters taking them down, he got a small bonus to each because he devoured the magic that held them together and forced the spirit or supernatural emotions to finally dissipate.
Thorax's brother had come on a few hunts with him, the changeling's emotion detection ability was great to hunt the bundles of emotion that held the timber wolves together. Pharynx considered hunting timber wolves some sort of Bachal, or battle challenge in common equestrian.
Oh wait he was zoning out again, right focus on Pear Butter again.
“ Yah don't even speak pony yah just bark” Pear Butter continued.
“Meow.” Rahs offered.
“HA Yah got him speaking fancy” Granny pointed out with a chuckle.
Pear Butter blinked then shook her head before starting up again.
Was it important this time?
No, she was going off on the 'grand pup' thing again.
Rahs wasn't entirely certain how that would work, and Twilight refused to research aspects of her brothers love life no matter how interesting it might be.
Jynx and Saturnia, were already known to be able to have children with him. Jynx because Diamond Dogs were the source of the Moon Dog race to begin with and the genetic drift wasn't that far off, and Saturnia because changelings could breed with anything. Kinda like dragons and Bards in that aspect.
Trixie and Sunset were a little harder to predict, while there were pony Diamond Dog hybrids , they were super rare. And given Sunset tended to change to her human form so she could wave her boobs in his face when she could, not that he complained, made an extra layer of oddness to her.
Aria was a hybrid herself, and if she and Rahs ever had kids there was literally no telling what species it might wind up.
And Applejack was an oddity too, no one was even certain if she could have foals or pups any more after this due to how Witch wolves were created.
Not that he was thinking of having any kids, that he could train in the theater, and make the cutest little acting troop ever to live... no he wasn't thinking of that at all.
Wait he zoned out again.... what was Pear on about now? Oh, how he was standing there doing nothing instead of working. He had tried to leave once and she called him rude to walk off while she was talking.
"So the point of all this." Rahs spoke out cutting off the mare and making Granny Smith lean forward in her chair with interest. "Is that you do not like me, or that fact that I am dating your daughter?"
"Well, you picked up that much at least." Pear Butter huffed.
"Ahh good. I was a little worried you would actually like me."
"What?" Pear Butter blinked.
"The majority of plays and stories where 'happily ever after' happens, also include a very angry mother in law who disapproves of everything." Rahs concluded. "I was a little worried we wouldn't manage a happily ever after if you approved."
Pear Butter blinked her mouth moving silently like a fish as she processed that. Rahs took the silence as the conversation being over before he walked off to finish the chores he promised Applejack he would do for her today so she could have her day off.
Granny Smith cackled.
[Ponyville Spa]
Witch-Jack sat back in the hot tub, a flare of magic from another guest had changed her, and she had been forced to switch to the biped set of chairs and tubs. A small deviation, though Aloe and Lotus took it all with the professionalism everyone was used to.
They were both currently buzzing around some of the other guests as the spa was rather crowded today for some reason, though it was mostly ponies so the biped area was still empty save for her.
She looked down at herself, her orange fur clinging to the odd form she had now, she still felt the over sized breasts were in the wrong place, but she was getting used to the weight change. Still, durn things weren't supposed to be this big unless one was nursing.
Not that she minded the bonus interest Rahs showed her due to it, and having met other Moon Dogs and Diamond Dogs this wasn't uncommon. She was just glad none of them had rows of nipples going down their belly like an actual dog.
She relaxed a little more and dunked herself in the hot water, letting her blonde hair loose to fall over her shoulders and face as she surfaced and leaned back against the edge of the tub again.
With Rarity elsewhere she was left with her thoughts for the time being.
What did she want out of this? Her mothers ranting did bring up a few good points. She still wasn't sure if it was the curse or her own self that was attracted to Rahs. Sure she was no longer two things in one body, but when they got stuck together did that part come from the curse?
She blushed remembering the forest before shaking her head.
Yeah well she remembered that and wasn't that upset with it. And she did like the guy, but she also remembered that before the curse she didn't like him in 'that way'.
So was what she felt now from the curse, or because she changed her mind?
They didn't really even have that many similar interests, though the couple of dates they had been on were fun and she did look forward to the next with the sort of anticipation that made her tail wag, which was weird as well.
She opened her eyes looking through her hair to the tip of her tail where the little glowing crescent was, the faint light from the crescents over her ears showing in the water as she looked down.
She supposed that was her answer. She enjoyed the time they spent together to much to simply stop it and she was willing to deal with all the other girls in order to have more time with him.
Heck, she was still mulling over the deal to share with Jynx, something that was looking like a better and better idea. If that two of them couldn't pull him away from tha others working together tha pup was blind.
She needed to talk to Rarity about the outfit for the next date. She briefly wondered if she could get a matching dress for Jynx and pull her along to tag team him.
It would be a lot of fun and it would annoy her ma.
Win Win.
[Canterlot Castle, later that evening.]
Princess Luna and Princess Celestia stood on the balcony staring up at the sky as Celestia had lowered her sun and Luna had raised her moon.
Princess Luna's left eye twitched.
Princess Celestia blinked.
"How...." Celestia began.
"We are done." Luna snapped.
"What? No! I need your help sister, I have so many plans I need your expertise for." Celestia protested.
"Nay we are done, if THIS!" Luna gestured to her moon "Is their idea of a counter prank to our own adjustment of the stars, then we do not believe we can survive the inevitable escalation from them or you."
"It's not that bad...."Celestia placated.
"Not that bad!? LOOK AT OUR MOON SISTER!!"
On the surface of the silver moon that hung in the sky was a crude drawing of Princesses Luna's face carved in the surface, next to it was the line 'We are not as cool as we think we are.' also carved into the surface taking up the entire facing of the moon.
"How did they even do that without our notice!?" Luna ranted. "And we are exactly as cool as we think we are. We are the goddess of nightlife, and unlike Twilight Sparkle we know how to dance!"
"Not sure moves you learned in a rave or a club count as dancing...." Celestia muttered.
"Silence!! We are done, we know when we have been bested." Luna snapped her horn glowing as she turns the facing of her moon to hide the message until she could figure out how to erase it.
Celestia and Luna blinked as the new side of the moon faces them.
The new side of the silvery orb had a message that read. 'Discord was here. So was Sonata!' with the pairs faces carved in the rock.
"I thought you erased that?" Celestia offered.
"We erased the other message he left, we did not know about this one." Luna growled turning the moon to another facing. This facing had a very large dragon shaped crater in the middle.
The pair stared a moment.
"No Luna."Celestia sighed. "We don't need the problems that would bring."
"Fine." Luna huffed and turned the facing to an unblemished side. "We need to go now and make sure the Royal Astronomers are not losing their minds again."
"Just tell Nightlight his sons and daughter did it, he'll get the others inline." Celestia offered, already plotting her counter prank for this one.
