When mist and myself finally stopped talking it was almost a quarter past six, thank you clocks! I had ended up not learning too much about the pony I had shared my bed with, aside from the fact that she was in fact from a small town similar to Ponyville, she had moved when she turned fourteen and came here. She opened the only real “Magic store” in town because it didn’t have one, that was almost a year ago. The store had started healthy but over time was forgotten. At least until a few days ago when I stumbled through the door and started hitting on her. That’s her opinion; I was just having a conversation!
She and I had begun walking town again; it was nearly dusk so we were okay with just walking and talking about everything.
“So okay, you came from a small town. Who were your parents?” she was nuzzling against my leg and I was playing with her mane. GOD I love manes. So soft!
“My mom was a Pegasus named mountain mist. My dad was an earth pony named moon breeze. I’m sure you can figure out how I was named.” I pretended to think about it.
“Mmm Nope. No clue. This is a toughie, can you offer any hints?” She just laughed. Most ponies were heading inside. A few of the more familiar ones I saw would wave, A few of them actually had a sort of “D`aww” face when they saw mist and myself. Bigots were few and far between, but present none the less… Asshats.
“It was either going to be moon mist or mountain breeze. To be honest I always felt like mountain breeze sounded like some weird pop drink. So im really glad I didn’t get that name.” Pop drink…Right, like ‘carrotastic’ *Shudder* Ponies…
“That’s cool though, being named after your parents. In my world the naming system is pretty much ‘if you think they will like it use it’ there is no order to it.” Did I mention how beautiful this pony is? I had to carry her again. I didn’t even care. She’s fucking adorable. After the initial laughing session and her settling her legs against my chest she thought a moment.
“Well. They named you eclipse right? You seem pretty happy with it.” I shook my head at this.
“No, Eclipse is my equestrian name. My real name is, if you can pronounce it. Kyle.” I said my name in English. DUH.
“Okay... Cale.” Close I guess.
“Close, but it’s not cale. Kyle.” It took her a few more tries.
“Kalye, kule…Kyle.” I smiled when she finally did say my name right. It was like the ponies mouth is not meant for English!
“Very good. English is I guess a pretty weird language to learn if you don’t rip it from a native speakers mind.” She just laughed. I had already told her about my arrival here. Thank god she wasn’t able to read the scrolls, she may have learned more than I would have cared for.
“It’s not bad, the words just…Taste funny, and does that make sense?” I nodded Made sense to me, I taste ketchup and vinegar when I lie, who am I to doubt the power of tasting words.
“Kyle…Kyle, Kyle , Kyle…I hope you don’t mind If I keep calling you Eclipse, I mean, I like your real name and all…It’s just weird.” I just squeezed her a little and laughed.
“You can call me whatever misty. As long as it’s you saying it I don’t mind.” Here, have some cheese.
“That was an unusual thing to say. Your always making jokes Eclipse….I’m gonna call you the joker.”
“You ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight?”
“What?”
“I don’t know what it means, just sounded cool.” I was smiling on the inside. Good ol joker…good ol fucking Batman! Like a ninja of the night!
“Does rarity make spandex? You know what. Never mind. Stupid idea to begin with.” She just laughed as we passed her store.
“Oh, Eclipse, Am I staying with you again tonight? Not that I’m objected.” She started kissing the side of my face.
“I don’t know it’s up to you, I can drop you off here or we can start heading back to my house.” She smiled and leaned against me again.
“To your house then. Beds are much more comfortable when you have company.” That’s for sure.
“Well alright, But you know the rules for right now right?” She smiled and nuzzled my neck.
“You said foreplay didn’t count!” Oh my god…How am I so lucky. Seriously.
“Well if I had my way I don’t think anything would count to be honest, I just don’t want this relationship to be rushed and us end up hitting some snag along the way that ruins us.” She started laughing and just laid her head on my shoulder while I walked back to the house.
“Well…I don’t think I’m ready for that myself either. I have just met you a few days ago, and now that you mention it this relationship did go from talking to good times really quick. I think, I encourage the no sex rule. For now.” Why is she so damned perfect?
“Are you just agreeing with me to get inside my trousers?” She laughed.
“Perish the thought.” I can’t, Now I’m hoping you are…*Sigh*
“So how do you think lights first day was?” I’m assuming she wanted to smile, I couldn’t see her but she started rubbing her face against mine, it felt surprisingly nice.
“Humans are really nice to touch… And most likely went just fine. He is a pretty smart boy. Pretty in control.” Humans are nice to the touch…PFFT.
“You ponies feel way better, just saying.” No bad taste, not a lie. As we got up to the door I heard Apple bloom yelling. Why was she here and why was she yelling? I put down misty and opened the door to find apple bloom walking back and forth on one of the couches in front of Light who had a busted lip and a black eye…
My fucking kid.
“What the hell happened?” I said as I went to check on Light, he just looked at me. Thankfully AB is a talker.
“Light and Ah were on a walk through town and some big ponies came up and started saying that his dad was...was an inter something or other! Then they beat him up! He just sat there and took it but when one of them came after me he went crazy! Them ponies are in the hospital!” I just looked at light.
“You let them beat you up?” He nodded
“But you defended Apple Bloom?” Again.
“Good boy.” He looked at me with shock on his face.
“What?! But I got into a fight! Aren’t you supposed to be angry?! Aren’t you supposed to yell at me?” I just laughed.
“Look at yourself little man! You’re beating yourself up enough. Plus, you didn’t even fight back until they endangered a friend of yours. If you felt your own life was in danger then I’m sure it would have been different. To be honest I’m more worried about the ponies in the hospital how hard did you hit them?” He blushed and looked at the floor.
“I didn’t think it was very hard… But I know I really hurt them. Not to mention my injuries have been healing really quick. I had a broken leg when I came in an hour ago…” I just smiled and hugged the little turd.
“Yea, having a spark has that effect. That thing can make a serious whooping into a cat scratch. You’re a good kid light. I’ll visit the ponies in the hospital tomorrow.”
“To apologize for me?” I laughed.
“No, to rip them a new one.” He smiled and hopped down.
“Apple bloom, it’s a bit late, you have two choices, one I can walk you home, or two, you can stay here for the night.” Apple bloom looked at me like I just gave her a hearts warming eve present.
“Ah…Can stay here? With light?” I just smiled.
“Yea, Just no grown up stuff okay light?” He blushed; it went right over apple blooms head. That’s okay.
“Thanks E…Dad.” HNGGGGG NO MANLY TEARS!
“Anytime kiddo. Now go hit the hay, don’t think just because you kicked someponies ass you’re not going to school” He immediately responded with “Awww” and went upstairs apple bloom followed.
She seriously looked worried. I was more surprised when her sister came down the stairs from Bes room.
“A j?” She just looked at me and smiled.
“You know apple bloom is staying here tonight right?” She just laughed.
“Ah heard Eclipse. And… approve, ah think that kid o yours is mighty brave for doing what he did. And ah know he’s plenty smart enough not to do anything stupid.” AHAHAHA! Oh wait, Faith in my child…Right, Always forget that part.
“Yea, he should do just fine.”
“Ya really gonna go beat up some hospitalized ponies?”
“Beat them up? No, I’m going to scare the shit out of them.” She smiled at that.
“You mean that literally dontcha.”
“They are in a hospital, I’m allowed.” She just shook her head and went back upstairs. Moon mist and I went to my room shortly after turning off all the lights. After getting back into cuddle-formation zero dash five. We were talking.
“He beat the heck out of three adult ponies trying to hurt apple bloom? And you encouraged it?” I just shook my head.
“I didn’t encourage him beating ponies up; I encouraged him protecting the ponies he cares for. That’s what that spark in him does. I used to be able to break walls, with my hands. I could lift boulders, using that damn thing and not be phased at all. The only thing stopping me from doing it whenever was my inhibitor necklace, which I guess I don’t need anymore. I should give it to light. He needs it more than me, not like it would matter. It’s not like the spark is going to eat his soul. Not like he was when I had it made.” She nodded.
“The leechwood?” I took off my necklace and just looked at it.
“You know this is the last thing I have left from my world… and I’m almost happy to be rid of it.” I put it on the table next to little Luna.
“You are some kinda pony eclipse.” I laughed.
“Some kind of pony indeed. But at least my kids a damn good guy.” She nodded and closed her eyes. No reason to think about any of this now.
I am definitely going to pay a visit to the hospital tomorrow…And maybe rarity… Or fluttershy? Nah, Rarity. Need something fun to match my girl… Not that I would wear it anyway.
She sure is cute when she sleeps.
