It was a time for celebration. The Crystal Empire was saved from the tyrannical grip of Sombra and the future has never looked brighter. Multi-colored crystal buildings sparkled as the residents partied hard enough to keep up with a certain pink pony. Emotions ran raw; lovers tongue wrestled, new lovers smooched, and strangers kissed.
The heroines that rescued the crystal ponies were surrounded by their grateful hosts. The little dragon had a horde that continued to grow as the day went on. Princess Cadance continued to greet and hug every one of her ponies. It was a joyous celebration.
Under a soft blue umbrella, a young mare and her stallion drank crystal berry tea. “Fantastic once again, Castle, just as I remember.”
The indigo grey stallion smiled as he softly answered. “I’m glad, Berry. Surprised I still remember after all this time.”
Berry Splash sipped her tea, her tail wrapped around his. Castle’s eyes popped before he blushed. “So, um, we never did get to...well you know we had just started this herd before him.”
“Oh I know.” Splash purred. “We are going to have fun at my place.”
Castle softly smiled before he pointed past her. “Hey, that’s one of the Equestrian mares.”
“Hmm? I think that’s all of them actually.” The six ponies happily chatted away across the street in a restaurant. Rainbow Dash hovered above all of them as she regaled to them some of her deeds.
“Castle, tell me what you think of the pegasus.” Little hearts played in her head as mischievous thoughts ran wild.
“She’s pudgy and round, which is rather strange for a pegasus.” Castle hummed as he poured another round for his mare.
“What? No, not the ugly one. I meant the blue one.” Splash scolded him. “Though now that you mentioned it, she is fat. Actually so are most of them, except for the rainbow pegasus. Even the Apple has some roundness to her.”
“Well she’s...really beautiful.” A red tint colored his crystal cheek. “She looks sleek, powerful. I’m sure she has an impressive trophy case of all her enemies’ feathers. I know you’re an athlete, do you notice anything?”
“Oh yes I do. That body belongs to the proud owner of a warrior, and not just one that trains thoughtlessly. She knows every part of her body and has pushed them everyday to their limit. Her pectoralis muscles are hard as diamonds, flexible for tight turns and yet powerful enough to turn storms. Such beautiful wings.” Splash sighed as tilted her head. “I would love to get to know that body up close.”
“S-splash! Not so loud.” Castle mumbled as he shrunk down. “What if she hears you.”
“Don’t worry, I bet she is the leader of their herd. Everything about her screams Storm Lord and I remember them being rather feisty.” Splash chuckled as she licked her lips.
“Well no actually I heard they are all just friends.” Castle coughed a little. “Odd for different tribes to get along so well.”
“It’s been a thousand years, there may have been tension with the unified tribes back in our time, but looks like that is all in the past.” Splash gave Castle a quick brush on his muzzle. “Think we have a chance with her?”
“I-i don’t know. She probably already has a herd and concubines back home.” Castle folded his ears back as he leaned up next to her. “I don’t have anything to offer her.”
“Hey now.” Splash kissed his cheek. “We are a herd. I will take care of you so no more sadness.”
“Thank you, Berry.” He returned the kiss passionately.
“Well even if she is out of our league I don’t see any harm in window shopping do you?” Splash giggled as they returned their attention towards the group. The heroines all laughed together at an unheard joke.

Inside the restaurant, jovial friends enjoyed one another’s company. “Hey are those two ponies giving us the googly eyes?”
“Pinkie, what pony today hasn’t given us undue attention.” Rarity smiled as she continued to admire the crystal enchantment on her. “I don’t blame them really.”
Rainbow Dash sighed as she floated back down to the table. ‘Well it would be nice if they thought that of me. Oh well.’
Everyone went home none the wiser. Though the crystal pony mare from earlier did tell Rainbow Dash thank you rather enthusiastically.
