Chapter 9
The Encounter
Isaac’s eyes snapped open to find himself in a barren wasteland. He got to his feet and looked around the desert. The skies were filled with black clouds as thunder and lightning boomed through the landscape. As he turned around he felt something collide with his face sending him back to the ground. Isaac looked up to see a dark hooded figure staring down at him with hateful red eyes. “You fucking freak.” The figure said as he kicked Isaac in the ribs causing him to cough up blood. “I can’t believe that you would go and do something like that.”
“I always knew you were a waste.” Another apparition formed, this time in the shape of a woman with black hair and bright green eyes. She walked over to him and pulled out a night stick and began to beat the injured human with it. Isaac felt his bones splinter and crack with each blow. He got to his knees to see the two figures each pull out a hand gun and point it at his head. He closed his eyes and waited for the deafening sound to seal his fate.
As the hammer on the pistol was cocked a bright light filled the desert. “Shit, looks like we have company.” The two ghosts vanished leaving the bloodied human laying on the ground in a pool of his own blood. He looked up to see a winged figure approach him. He felt a hand on his head as he tried to see the stranger.
“ISAAC!” The dream collapsed and the light of the morning sun burned his eyes. The sound of his own name being yelled felt as if someone drove a spike through his head. He shot up from the bed to see the mares and dragon looking at him in shock. He let out a chuckle as he saw the drawings on their faces which were stricken with confusion.
“What?” He asked as Twilight pointed to the stirring cyan Pegasus mare in his bed. Isaac immediately jumped out of bed holding a pillow to cover his exposed area. “Oh dear god. It wasn’t a dream.” He said as he looked at the mare who was holding her head in pain. Isaac reached for his pants and quickly put them on. He grabbed his head as his hangover started to kick in. “Oh Christ, this is just like Vegas all over again.” He said as he let out a groan. He felt vomit making it’s way up to his mouth. The human quickly side stepped the group and ran into the bathroom to return the drinks he had last night. The group then looked at Rainbow who was in a similar state.
“Have you guys seen your faces?” She said as she began to laugh. The group held their stare at the mare who let out a sigh. “Okay fine, I slept with him big deal.”
“Big deal? Rainbow! He’s a completely different species!” Twilight yelled.
“So? Look at those two.” She said as she pointed at Spike and Rarity. The group was about to protest but found no argument. “That’s what I thought, I don’t judge you two so why should you do that to me?” She said as she slipped her crumpled dress on.
“We don’t know anything about him Dash! He could have some weird genetic defect to him!” Twilight yelled. Dash began to laugh again as she saw the artwork.
“Sorry Twi but I can’t take you seriously like that.” She said as she held up a mirror. Twilight looked in shock at their faces.
“How come he didn’t do anything to you or Fluttershy?” Applejack asked as she spat in her palm and wiped the marker off her face.
“I don’t know.” She said with a shrug. The group left the room as Dash finished dressing except for the farmer who had a sour look on her face. “Look AJ I know that-”
“You didn’t respect the dibs rule!” She yelled.
“Easy AJ, it’s not like I own him.”
“Still, we agreed that I’d get first dibs.”
“Excuse me?” The two mares looked towards the door to see the man frowning at them. “What did you mean by ‘first dibs?’” He said as he walked over to the mares who had a blush on their faces.
“Well, Applejack had first dibs on you and since you and I-”
“DIBS?” He yelled as he walked over and pulled his shirt over his body. “For the record I was drunk off my ass last night.”
“So you’re saying you didn’t enjoy it?” She said with a smirk. Isaac felt his blood boil and his right knuckles cracked as he made a fist. He grabbed his wrist with his opposite hand and let out a sigh. Isaac looked back at the mares with daggers in his eyes.
“Look I just need some time to process this.” Isaac said as he grabbed his hoodie and marched out the door without making eye contact. Isaac ran down the stairs and slammed the door shut as he walked outside making the other ponies look at one another in confusion. Isaac made his way through the street without making eye contact with any one until a familiar grey mare with a blond mane flew up to him.
“Hey Isaac how.....Are you okay?” She asked as she saw the humans disheveled state.
“I just have killer hangover and a migraine. So if it’s something important tell me later because I can’t think straight right now.” He said as he looked at the mare with a flat expression.
“Oh I see. You might want to head to Zecora’s place. She’s got all kinds of potions for stuff like that.” She said with a smile.
“Even a hangover cure?”
“I’m not too sure. She’s probably your best option.” She said with a shrug.
“Thanks Ditz. What did you want to tell me?” Ditzy gulped and shrugged her shoulders.
“Never mind, I’ll see ya later.” She said as she took flight. Isaac shrugged and made his way towards the Everfree forest.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Back in the library Rainbow had just finished explaining what happened the night before between the human and herself in detail. By the end Applejack and the other mares had a bright blush on their face and were shifting uncomfortably in their seats. “Then he ran out the door without looking back.” Dash finished as she took a drink from her water. The mares looked at her in shock while Applejack frowned at the mare.
“So was he good?” Rarity asked in an innocent sounding voice.
“Oh yeah he was good. I wonder if all humans can last that long?” She said with a smirk.
“DASH!” Twilight yelled. “We don’t know anything about his kind, you could be infected with some weird other worldly disease!” She stammered.
“Can’t you just use your magic to see if there’s anything wrong with me?” She asked as she lifted an eyebrow. Twilight’s horn glowed and she waved he hand over the Pegasus.
“I can’t find anything.”
“See and while your at it Twilight could you-”
“Morning after spell?” She said in a condescending tone. The Pegasus nodded as the mares horn glowed and let out a sigh. “Done.” She said as she rolled her eyes.
“Oh lighten up Twi. So I had a little fun with him big deal.”
“We have no idea how relationships from his world work. For all we know you could have just made yourself a slave!” Rainbow looked at her friend with a raised eyebrow. “Okay I know that sounds a little farfetched but it could mean something else.”
“C’mon Twilight. He may be different but he’s not dangerous.” Pinkie interjected.
“I agree with Pinkie.” Rarity said with a smile. “He’s shown no behavior to be unsavory, he may seem odd but let’s not forget that he’s from another world and will want to return when he gets the chance.” She said as she looked at Rainbow and Applejack.
“Not if we convince him to stay!” Rainbow protested.
“So is that why you slept with him? To bribe him to stay?” Twilight said in a frustrated tone.
“Maybe and there’s the fact that I like him.” She said as she rolled her eyes.
“Be realistic here Rainbow, he’ll want to go back eventually. It’s his home.” Rarity said as she got to her feet.
“What if Celestia can’t bring him home? What then?” Applejack asked.
“I don’t know. He said he’d try to settle down here.” Twilight said as she let out a sigh.
“There’s also the possibility that he won’t want to leave.” Rainbow interjected.
“It’s possible, but unlikely.” The lavender mare said in a stern tone. The group was interrupted by a hard knock on the door. Twilight opened it to reveal Princess Luna wearing a dark cloak covering her wavy blue mane. “P-Princess Luna. What are you doing here?”
“We are here to speak with the human. I was told that he was staying here.” She said as she made her way inside. The other ponies looked in shock at the royal sister.
“He’s out right now. I’m not sure where he is. Why do you need to see him?”
“It’s a personal matter.” She said as she looked at the group of mares. “Are we interrupting something?”
“We were just talking about-” Pinkie’s mouth was covered by a lavender hand.
“Nothing Princess just some gossip and current events.” Twilight said as she threw on a fake grin.
“I see, don’t let us keep you then, we shall find the human on our own.” Luna said as she threw the hood back over her head and exited the library.
Twilight let out a sigh of relief as the Alicorn left the group of mares. “Pinkie! We can’t tell anyone about this!”
“Why not?”
“Yeah why not?” Rainbow said in confusion.
“He’s a completely-”
“I don’t care about that! He’s a nice guy and I like him, deal with it!” She said as her eyes narrowed.
“But-”
“Why do you care so much Twi? I don’t judge you and I’m not the only one here who has a crush on him.” She said as she looked at the orange mare. Applejack covered her face with her hat to hide her vibrant blush.
“Ah have to agree with Dash on this one Twi. He’s a good stall....human.” She said as she looked back at the lavender mare. Twilight face palmed and let out a sigh.
“Fine, let’s just calm down and talk this out.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Zecora was sitting by her cauldron mixing some soup for herself. As she added another ingredient she heard a loud knock on the door. She got to her feet and made her way to the door. The zebra looked in surprise as she saw the human standing in her door way. “Sorry to barge in like this Zecora, but I need a cure for a hangover. I was told you could help me.” He said with a small smile.
“Of course my friend, come inside and I will heal that pounding head.” She said with a smile. Isaac gave her a friendly nod and entered the Zebra’s hut. Isaac sat down on one of the zebra’s stools and waited while Zecora mixed the ingredients. Isaac took a moment to look around the Zebra’s home, which was decorated with all sorts of masks and ingredients hanging from the ceiling. Zecora poured the concoction into a clay cup and handed it to the human.
“Thank you.” He gave a sniff of the liquid and struggled to keep a straight face. He let out a sigh and gulped the mixture down. He made a sour face as the foul tasting substance. Zecora let out a small laugh at the humans’ expression. “Ugh, it’s got an after taste.” He said in a disgusted tone.
“The fool is you for allowing the drink to make you it’s tool.” She said as she shook her head. Isaac nodded and felt the pain leave his mind. Zecora squinted her eyes at the human. “The pain in your head is gone. Yet I sense that something else is wrong.” Isaac looked at the mare with a raised eyebrow.
“I’m not gonna lie I’ve got a lot on my mind.” He said as he sat back. “Part of me is trying to get home and the other part wants me to stay here.”
“You sound like a fickle, I must say you are in quite pickle.” She said as she put a hand on the human’s shoulder.
“Tell me about it.” He said with a sigh. “I have no idea what to do.” He said as he let out a sigh. Zecora scratched her chin and thought for a moment. “I just need a quiet place to think things out.” Zecora perked up at the human’s words and a smile spread across her face.
“Follow me and you will see a place your mind can be at ease.” She said as she got to her feet. Isaac looked at the mare in confusion as she withdrew a long brown cloak that covered her striped body. Isaac got to his feet and followed the zebra back out into the dark forest.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Princess Luna discretely made her way through the small town in search of the human. She had cast an illusion spell that changed her coat color to a bright teal and she kept her wings hidden underneath her cloak. As she walked through the busy town she accidentally knocked into a grey Pegasus mare. Luna noticed the mare had a brown messenger bag over her shoulder. “Sorry ma’am.”
“No, the fault was ours. We were so busy looking for someone that we weren’t watching where we were going.” She said as she helped the Pegasus to her feet.
“It’s alright. Were you looking for your special somepony?” She asked with a smile, causing Luna to blush.
“No. We do not have a special somepony.” She said in a low tone.
“Oh, sorry I asked.” Ditzy said with a sheepish grin.
“We hate to take up more of your time, but have you seen a tall creature with no fur on his body walking around?”
“Oh! You mean Isaac!” Luna’s eyes grew wide at the name.
“Yes, that’s his name.”
“He went off to the Everfree forest an hour ago.” Luna looked at the mare in shock.
“Why in Equestria would he go there?”
“To meet with Zecora for a hangover cure.”
“Zecora? She is the potion maker is she not?”
“Yep, just follow the path and you’ll be there in no time.” Ditzy said with a smile.
“We thank thee.” Luna’s coat returned to it’s normal color. The Princess spread her massive wings and took flight towards the forest. Ditzy’s eye twitched in surprise as her brain put the pieces together.
As Luna soared through the skies she thought about the dream the human’s mind had created. Why would he dream up something like that? Who were those two other humans? As protector of the night it’s my duty to protect my subjects. She thought as she reached the edge of the forest. His dreams were just like mine.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Isaac followed the Zebra through the dark forest keeping his hand on the handle of his knife in case of an emergency. Zecora pushed aside some vines to reveal a crystal blue waterfall pouring into a pond that had a small island in the center. “This place is much better than a bed, take all the time you need to clear your head.” She said with a smile. Isaac nodded and made his way to the small island. He sat Indian style and put his hands on his legs. He let out a deep breath and allowed his mind to wander freely.
Isaac found himself in a barren wasteland where a familiar form was waiting for him. The figure was the same height as the human, wore the same attire and had the same dark brown hair. The difference was the figure was wrapped in shadow and it’s eyes were glowing bright red, unlike Isaac’s crystal blue eyes. “Long time no see, whelp.” The figure spat out.
“I’m just here to talk.”
“Finally you start listening to reason.”
“No, I’m here to say I’m staying.” The dark figure looked at the man in confusion.
“WHAT?”
“They’re good people...or ponies in this case.” He said in a calm tone.
“Exactly they’re ponies! You even slept with one!”
“I was drunk and yet.....I don’t feel bad.” The figure walked forward and slammed his fist into Isaac’s face. Isaac stood there with a blank look on his face as he bled from his mouth.
“How can you say that?”
“Eventually humanity will reach out amongst the stars and explore new worlds. Humanity will have to repopulate and expand their race. I’m just a man ahead of his time.” He said with a smile. The figure looked at him in confusion and rage as he let out another barrage of fists that impacted the man.
“What will the others think?” He yelled.
“They’re not here, they were never there for me and now that I finally find some friends who actually give a damn about me you suggest that I abandon them?” He said as he held his ground.
“How could they possibly care about a coward like you? ” The figure said as he continued to beat the human. The image of a group of ponies and a dragon appeared before he felt himself fade into darkness. Isaac heard a faint scream and snapped back to reality. He opened his eyes to see Zecora looking back towards the path. Three fillies cam charging out with tears in their eyes. Isaac rushed over to them and stopped next to the Zebra. “What happened?”
“We were going to Zecora’s hut to see if she could help us get our potion making Cutie Marks. We know she likes this place so we made our way here.” Scootaloo said as tears formed in her eyes. “But we-” She was cut off as the group heard a loud growl coming from the bushes. The zebra and human turned around to see a lion with bat wings and a scorpion tail glaring at them.
“Is that....A manticore?” Isaac said in disbelief. He looked behind him to see the three fillies cowering in fear. Isaac let out a breath and withdrew his knife. “Zecora take the girls and get out of here. I’ll keep this thing busy.”
“Have you gone mad?” She said as she looked at the human.
“There’s no time to argue GO!” He said as he held his knife up and got in a defensive position.
“We’ll bring back help!” Applebloom said as the fillies and the Zebra ran off into the bush. The large manticore looked at the group and felt something hard hit it’s face. The creature looked back at the human who was holding another rock.
“I’m over here fur ball.” He said as he raised his knife. The beast charged as Isaac ran towards the beast.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Princess Luna made her way through the strange forest until she reached the hut. Even though she was Princess of the night this forest still gave her unsettling memories. Not to far from here stood the castle where the elements of Harmony had defeated Nightmare Moon and had saved her from herself. As she was about to knock on the hut she heard rustling from the bushes just ahead of her. She focused her magic and prepared herself for what ever may be lurking in the brush. She was shocked when she saw the zebra and three fillies stop in front of her.
“Princess Luna! You’ve gotta help us!” Applebloom yelled.
“What is wrong?”
“Our friend Isaac is keeping a Manticore busy and-”
“WHERE?” She yelled.
“Just up ahead in a clearing!” Sweetie Belle said.
“Go inform Twilight Sparkle, I will go ad the human.” The dark Alicorn said as she ran down the path. The fillies and the zebra looked at one another and ran back towards the town.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Twilight and her friends were in a stalemate over Isaac. Twilight let out a sigh and got to her feet. “Okay, maybe I overreacted to you and Isaac sleeping together Dash.”
“Ya think?” Rainbow said as she cocked an eyebrow. The group was interrupted by Zecora and the three fillies barging through the door. “What’s up guys?”
“Isaac......help......Manticore....Princess Luna.......Everfree Forest.” Applebloom said as she tried to catch her breath. The ponies looked at one another in shock and quickly got to their feet. Spike belched out a letter and skimmed it.
“SPIKE! THERE’S NO TIME FOR THAT NOW!” Twilight yelled. Spike held up the letter and the mare’s eyes watered at the contents.
“Change of plans off to the hospital!” Rainbow yelled as she flew out the door with the other mares following close behind.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Isaac dodged the beast’s attack and sliced it’s arm. The beast let out a roar of pain and swiped the human with it’s tail. Isaac dodged the blow and jumped back from the beast. The manticore charged a second time and made it’s claw connect with the humans right arm. Isaac let out cry of pain as he felt the beasts claws tear his arm. Isaac randomly lashed out with the knife in his left hand and felt it connect with the manticore’s hide.
The beast reared back in pain and agony at the wound the human inflicted on it. Isaac smiled as he looked at the injured beast. The manticore was about to strike the human with it’s tail but was knocked aside by a blast of blue energy. Isaac turned his head to see the dark Alicorn with her hands and horn glowing with a magical aura. The dark alicorn raised her hands sending the beast away from the human. Luna hurried over to the human who was on a knee clutching his arm that was bleeding heavily. “Are you alright?” She asked with worry in her voice.
“Yeah, thanks to you.” He said with a smile. Luna’s hands glowed and put them on the humans right arm.
“Hold still we will-” Luna was cut off as Isaac pushed her aside and outstretched his arms. Luna looked in horror as the manticore’s tail impaled the man. Isaac let out a cry of pain as the manticore lifted him off the ground and threw him against a nearby tree. Luna’s eyes glowed with rage and magic. She lifted the creature off the ground and sent it flying into a patch of trees. Luna heard the creatures spine snap against the hard wood and hurried over to the injured human.
Luna looked at Isaac and realized he had been poisoned and he was loosing a lot of blood. The Alicorn took human in her arms and teleported them to Ponyville hospital. “THIS ONE NEEDS MEDICAL ATTENTION!” She yelled using the Royal Canterlot voice. The doctors and nurses took the human and placed him on a stretcher.
“What happened?” The doctor asked as he looked at the Princess.
“Manticore attack, he’s been poisoned and is loosing blood.” She said as she walked next to the doctors. The doctor looked at the human who was slowly losing consciousness.
“Isaac I know you’re tired right now, but just hold on. What’s your blood type?” The doctor asked as he tried to keep the human awake. Isaac tried to speak but felt the poison taking hold. He slowly motioned to his right pocket. The nurse noticed and took out the black leather wallet. She looked through the paper bills and plastic cards until she came to his blood donor card. She glanced at it and her heart sank.
“What is it nurse?”
“It’s O positive.” The ponies looked at her in shock and then back at the human who was now unconscious.
“Damn it!” He said in frustration.
“What is wrong?” Luna asked.
“He has a rare blood type and it’s impossible to find a donor in time.” Luna bit her lip and looked at the stallion.
“We happen to have a large supply of O positive blood.” She said in a stern voice.
“But, your highness-”
“I am giving you a direct order doctor! Save him!” She yelled. The ponies looked at one another and gave a gulp. Luna summoned a quill and parchment and scribbled a quick message on it. The mare made it vanish in a brilliant blue flame and turned back to the doctors who had the transfusion equipment ready.
“We’re ready ma’am.” The doctor said as the mare was hooked up to the machine and the needle was inserted into her arm. Luna bit her lip at the discomfort.
“We’ve neutralized the poison and the wounds have pressure on them, but he won’t last long without the blood.” The doctor said as they rolled the two of them into surgery.
Twilight and the others burst into the hospital and ran towards the front desk. “Nurse is there a human here?” Twilight asked as she and her friends caught their breath.
“Yes, they just got him and Princess Luna into surgery.”
“The Princess was injured?” Twilight said as she let out a gasp.
“No. Your friend lost a lot of blood and the Princess has the same blood type so she volunteered to be the donor.” She said as she glanced at her clip board.
“How bad are his injuries?” Rainbow asked with tears in her eyes.
“His right arm was clawed, he’s poisoned and his chest cavity was punctured by the Manticores tail. We’ve given him an antidote and he’s receiving the transfusion before he goes into surgery.” She said as she looked back at the stunned group of mares. The ponies waited eagerly in the lobby hoping for the best. Celestia herself was there with them waiting to hear the news. The doctor came out wearing a pair of green scrubs with a bit of blood splattered on them.
“How are they doctor?” Celestia asked.
“Princess Luna is fine, just a little woozy from the transfusion.” Celestia breathed a sigh of relief.
“What about the human?”
“The antidote worked and his wounds are all but healed. We’re waiting to see what happens.” He said as he looked back at the Princess. “Princess Luna is awake if you want to see her.” The ponies nodded and followed the doctor to a hospital room where the blue Alicorn was sitting up with an I.V. attached to her arm. Celestia rushed over to her sister and wrapped her in a hug.
“Sister we are fine.” Luna said as she rolled her eyes. Celestia hugged her tighter as she smiled. The ponies then noticed the human in the opposite bed hooked up to a series of monitors and machines. The mares ran over to him with worry in their eyes. “I hope he will be alright.”
“If the manticore didn’t kill min then the transfusion might.” Celestia said in a low tone.
“What?” Twilight asked.
“Alicorn blood is extremely unstable and holds old magic. If a normal pony were to receive any it would cause the body extreme amounts of pain. THe body can only take so much.” Celestia said as she looked at her sister.
“What was I supposed to do? Let him die? He needed blood and I will protect my subjects, even if they aren’t the same species.” She said in a stern tone.
“Luna, there’s something you’re not telling us.” Celestia said as her eyes focused on her sister.
“I saw his mind, he’s confused and hurt.” She said in a low tone. “It reminded me of myself before I became Nightmare Moon.” Luna said as she lowered her head. The ponies looked at the sleeping human in surprise. “I wanted to talk to him about it which is why I was looking for him.”
“So he’s dangerous?” Twilight asked.
“I don’t know. His nightmare was very odd and disturbing. It took me quite a bit of work before we could enter his dream.”
å
“So that’s what you were doing in the forest.” The mares looked in surprise as they saw the human sit up and look at them. “Two days later and I’m back here again.” He said as he looked around the hospital room. The six friends made their way over to him and gave him a hug. “Easy girls still injured here.” He breathed out. Isaac looked back at the Princess with a stagnant expression on his face. “I don’t like it when other people get inside my head Princess.”
“We apologize for the intrusion, but it looked like you needed help.” She said in a low tone.
“I appreciate the gesture but-” He felt a wave of pain rip through his body. He grabbed his side and started to shake. The ponies quickly crowded around him. “What the hell was that?” He said as the pain subsided.
“Probably the result from the transfusion.” Celestia said as she examined the human.
“What transfusion?” He asked in confusion.
“You were injured by the manticore and you needed blood.” Isaac noticed the dark Alicorn was adverting her eyes.
“YOU?”
“Yes, we’re sorry.” She said as she lowered her head.
“Why would you say you’re sorry? You saved my ass back there.” He said with a smile.
“The pain you just felt is our blood mixing with yours.”
“You’re blood is O Positive right?”
“Correct.”
“Then I don’t see the issue.” He said in confusion.
“Alicorn blood is unstable.” Luna said in a low tone.
“To ponies. Humans are annoyingly hard to get rid of.” He said with a weak smile. The group was interrupted by the nurse opening the door and poking her head in.
“Sorry to disturb you your majesty. I need to examine his injuries.” Nurse Red Heart said as she walked over to the human. Isaac removed his shirt to reveal a massive scar from the manticore’s tail.
“Dude, that looks awesome.” Rainbow said as she looked at his chest and tried to hide her bright blush.
“Cool.” Isaac said as the nurse looked at his wounds and smiled.
“The poison is neutralized and the injury itself is almost healed. We just want to keep you under observation for the night to make sure there aren’t any....side effects.”
“You mean from the transfusion?” The mare nodded. “Fine by me.” He said as he shifted his gaze to the two Alicorns. “This may seem a bit off topic but how goes the search for sending me home?” The two sisters hung their heads in defeat.
“We’re sorry Isaac. My sister and I searched every inch of the archives but found nothing about trans dimensional spells.” Isaac let out a sigh and looked back at the Princess’s. “Maybe we missed something or-”
“It’s fine Princess. You two have a country to run and you can’t spend all your time on me.” He said with a warm smile. “I was actually going to ask if it were possible for me to stay here.” The mares looked at him in surprise. Celestia raised an eyebrow and looked at her sister who had the same look of confusion on her face.
“We would be honored to have you say.” She said with a warm smile.
“Thank you your highness I’m grateful.” He said with a smile.
“It’s no trouble. I’m sorry Luna but I must get back to the castle.” She said as she walked out the door. The mares smiled and crowded around the human with looks of confusion and joy on their faces.
“So you’re gonna stay?” Rainbow asked.
“Looks like you guys are stuck with me.” He said with a chuckle. “So what did you guys do today?”
“Dashie told us about how you lasted five minutes in bed and-” She was cut off as Twilight’s horn flared and changed Pinkies mouth into a closed zipper. Isaac felt his face flare up at the memories. The mares looked at him with an uneasy look in their eyes.
“Really now?” He said as he face palmed.
“Is it true?” Twilight asked.
“Is what true?”
“That you lasted five minutes?”
“I know what you’re thinking, ‘he must suck at sex.’ Keep in mind I was very drunk and I was going through a bit of a dry spell. So I was a little out of practice.” He said with a sigh as The mares looked at him in confusion.
“What are you talking about?” Rainbow asked.
“That’s probably the shortest I’ve ever gone.” The mares looked at him in surprise.
“You mean you’ve gone over eight minutes?” She said in surprise.
“Um, yeah. I can usually go for at least thirteen minutes at a time.” He said as he raised an eyebrow. “Why?”
“The healthy stallion can only go for two and a half minutes before reaching their climax.” Luna interjected.
“Seriously?” He said as he looked at the shocked mares.
“Unfortunately yes. Some of the stallion’s I’ve been with have climaxed before I’ve even begun to enjoy myself.” Rarity added. The mares looked at her in shock as Isaac raised an eyebrow. “Even ladies have needs every now and then.” She said as she blushed. The group was cut off as the nurse opened the door and walked inside carrying a clip board.
“Okay everypony these two need their rest. You can visit them tomorrow.” The mares nodded and began to leave after they each gave Isaac a hug. Rainbow hanged back for a moment and drew the curtain across so Luna couldn’t see. Rainbow sat on the humans bed with an uneasy look in her eye.
“Listen...I wanted to thank you for.....ya know.....last night.” She said with a smile.
“Dash, I was very drunk. Don’t get me wrong I like you and all, but I still need to think about how this relationship will-”
“Relationship? Who said anything about a relationship?” She said in confusion.
“I figured since we had sex that you-” The mare burst out in a small giggle fit.
“Look pal, I know a one night stand when I see one and I’m totally cool with that.” She said with a smile.
“Huh?”
“Yeah, I’m not into that whole mushy, gushy couple stuff anyway. I was wondering if you would.....I don’t know....want to do it again?” She asked with a blushing smile.
“Let me get this straight. You don’t want to be in a relationship but you still want to have sex?” He said as he scratched his head.
“Yup.” Isaac’s mind was going crazy. He let out a gulp and weighed his options.
“Um...” He was cut off as the mare pressed her lips against his and moved her tongue inside his mouth. Isaac let out a small moan of pleasure as the taste of raspberries filled his mouth. Rainbow broke the kiss and smiled back at him.
“I’ll take that as a yes.” She said as she zoomed out the door. The force from the mare managed to knock the curtain back into place. Isaac looked over at the blue Princess who had already fallen asleep. He let out a sigh and turned off the light that was on his night stand. Isaac let out a sigh and drifted off to sleep.
