"So, Mac, like my pie?" giggled Pinkie in a flirty tone. 

"Eeyup!" agreed Mac as he took a slice of the always tasty apple pie his marefriend baked.

"Can you believe it has been one whole entire year!" gasped Pinkie with excitement. 

"Ah know, my longest relationship yet." responded the red stallion as he ate his slice.

Both Pinkie and Mac were eating alone at Sugercube Corner, the entire place decorated to be romantic and intimate. The room softly lit by candle light. "Mine's too!" exclaimed Pinkie, extremely happy. 

"Eeyup...to another whole year!" nodded the stallion.

Soon, Pinkie had an idea, a dirty idea. She purposely dropped her fork on the floor, she made sure it landed underneath the table they were sitting at. "Oh...silly me, I dropped my fork." the pink pony giggled. "Let me crawl under the table to get it so I can clean it." she ducked down.

"No need!" interrupted Mac as he gave her another fork. "Have mine."

Pinkie was a bit saddened when he did that. "But...you didn't have too..."

"Ah insist, that fork is probably dirty now, so have this clean one instead." politely offered the stallion.

Pinkie reluctantly decided to abandon the plan and accept the new fork. She sat back down, her mane slightly deflated. "Darn it, it should've been obvious that I did that so I can give him his 'mouth present' under the table, I wish he wasn't afraid to be intimate with me sometimes."

Soon, silence fell between the two of them. 

"So," the mare broke the silence. "what do you want do to after pie? Maybe have another pie?" she winked. 

"Ah already ate the chocolate cake and apple pie ya baked me...ah don't think ah can have more."

"Not THAT kind of pie...my OTHER type pie, silly." she tried to clarify.

Mac gave Pinkie a blank stare. 

"The kind that tastes like cotton candy and is nice, warm and moist?" clarified more.

"..."

"The kind that has a 'cherry' on top?"

Still nothing from Mac.

"Ugh...forget it." said a defeated Pinkie, it was extremely hard to flirt with Mac when she used euphemisms. 

Silence fell once again between them.

"So...what was it that ya had planned?"

"Lick my happy fun place until I see pretty shiny stars." "Oh...forget it." Pinkie was even more dejected, her mane deflated even more.

"Ya sure? Is there anything ah can do to-"

Something inside Pinkie just snapped, she couldn't take it anymore so she climbed on the table and grabbed Mac by the neck "LICK MY DAMN PUSSY YOU TWIT!" angrily snarled the pink pony to her coltfriend. 

Mac was clearly intimidated. "Uh..."

Pinkie quickly snapped out of her momentary rage, let Mac go and climbed down the table. "Uh...sorry about that." nervously chuckled the ashamed mare. "It just that...it's been a year already and we have hardly ever been intimate. I want to make you happy Mac, but I can't do it if you are afraid." she explained.

"Ah already told you..."

"I know...you don't want our relationship to be nothing but happy fun time...I know." Pinkie felt bad. 

"Well...ah did-"

"Because it was my birthday."

"And ah let ya-"

"Because it was your birthday, and then again because it was Apple Bloom's birthday."

Mac realized that Pinkie was right, he has been avoiding sexual activity with Pinkie for fear their relationship will revolve around it. He didn't want that, he's been in those kinds of relationships enough in his life.

"Please Mac...I'm your marefriend...and I want to make you smile, moan and scream my name in joy because of me." pleaded Pinkie.

Mac felt bad, especially after he saw her make a puppy-dog face. "Okay." he finally caved.

"You mean it?" Pinkie grinned.

"Eeyup."

"AWESOME! Let's go!" Pinkie grabbed Mac's hoof and was about to drag him to her room, but suddenly, the front door opened and the Cakes with their foals walked in. "Mr and Mrs Cake?" she wasn't expecting them. "You're early."

"We know...but we kind of encountered some...unpleasantness...at the banquet." stated a clearly upset Mr Cake.

"Look hun, we can still talk about-"

"NO!" snapped Mr Cake as he interrupted his wife. "Did all those years of marriage mean nothing to you!"

"They do!"

"I don't want to hear it!"

The husband and wife decided to take the argument to the kitchen, they dropped the foals to be with Pinkie.

Both Pinkie and Mac stood in awkward silence at what just happened. They could hear plates shattering from the kitchen. "Uh...ah think it's best that ah leave...sorry." stated a guilty Mac.

"I think so." said a very saddened Pinkie Pie. Her mane was completely flat now.

Mac kissed Pinkie on the lips goodbye and sadly walked out of the bakery. 



 

Cheerilee was at home, she sat in front of the fireplace as she drank her hot cocoa. Something to calm her nerves after a long day of school. She has all forget about Big Mac, after he started his relationship with Pinkie Pie, she immediately went home and destroyed all evidence of the stallion ever being in her life. She took pleasure in watching it all burn away. 

KNOCK! KNOCK!

She turned to her front door to hear someone there. She got up and trotted to it. 

"Hello?" Cheerilee said as she opened the door. She immediately was that it was Twilight Sparkle.

"Oh good evening Miss Cheerilee!" greeted Twilight. "I was wondering if I could borrow an astronomy textbook from you? I would love to use mine but let's just say that a certain baby dragon accidentally burned it and I need it for my astronomical observations tonight." the unicorn explained.

"Oh, long time no see Miss Sparkle." greeted Cheerilee. "I think I may have one stored up in the basement, make yourself comfortable for a bit and I'll be right back." the mare directed as she trotted to the basement. 

Twilight sat down on the couch as she waited, taking in her surroundings. She saw a large pile of homework and assignments that needed to be graded on the dinning room table. Most of the photos on the wall were actually teaching awards, pictures of her close family and dozens of class photos of the classes she teached. 

"Here you go...it's for middle schoolers but it's the highest grade level astronomy textbook I have." she gave the book to the unicorn.

"It will do for now." she gladly accepted it. "So...how long have you been teaching?" asked Twilight.

"About twelve years now." she answered. 

"Must have kept you extremely busy huh?"

"With so much time devoted to your students and studies, it is hard to find free time, much less find a relationship." admitted the teacher.

"I know the feeling." sighed Twilight. She knows how it is like when studies and work take priority over your personal life.

"Well...you can keep the book for as long as you like...I probably won't be teaching Middle School astronomy any time soon anyways."

"Uh...thanks, but I'll return it to you once I get another copy of the burned book sent to me." humbly explained the mare as she trotted out the door. "Have a good night."

"The same Miss Sparkle." she said as she saw Twilight walk out of the door.

"At least she doesn't see me as a crazy bitch." mumbled Cheerilee to herself.
