Apple Bloom’s big brother, Big Macintosh was staying with his special marefriend during the last day of the heat season. After the day passed, he came back to his home at Sweet Apple Acres where he was hoping to buckle down and get back to working on the farm. But unknown to him, he was going to be in for a big surprise once he entered into the house.
“Welcome back, big brother,” said Applejack as she greeted him, “Did ya have a good time?”
“Yeup,” he responded with a proud smile.
“So how did thing go with you and yer… special mare?”
“Well, Ah…”
Suddenly, Applejack halted her brother to speak anymore on the matter, “Wait, don’t answer that. Ah’d rather not wish to hear about mah brother and his sexual relations with another mare.”
Mac just sighed and agreed, “Yeup.”
“However,” said Applejack, “Ah’m afraid that a certain somepony else had herself a good time yesterday as well.”
Big Mac suddenly looked at Applejack noticing the hinting tone in her voice. As Applejack was waiting for the thought to hit hit her big brother, Big Mac arched his eye and said, “Um… you mean…”
Applejack suddenly gasped and blushed realizing what he was thinking. Then she shouted out of protest, “What; no, not me! Ah mean… Ah wouldn’t mind, but... A-A-Ah chose not to. So guess who’s left?”
Big Mac didn’t want to think the alternative outcome. But almost on cue, Apple Bloom came down from upstairs and saw her brother back at their home. She smiled and ran over to him, “Hey, Big Mac!” She then hugged him tight, “Yer back! It’s great to see ya again!”
But then, she broke away when she noticed that her brother was looking at her with a low-eyed look. One of his eyes arched at her a he said, “Applebloom…”
“Um… AJ,” said Apple Bloom sounding a little troubled, “why is Big Mac looking at me like that? ‘Gasp’ You didn’t tell him, did ya?!”
“Why not,” said Applejack crossing her forehooves,” he would’ve found out sooner or later.”
Big Mac knew that this was his second sister’s first time going through heat, but he just sighed imagining the pitiful state she must have been in to finally give in to her urges. “You just couldn’t hold in the urge, could ya?”
“How could ya blame me?” Apple Bloom protested, “ It was mah first time going through this! Ah almost tried to make myself mate with you, remember?!”
Big Mac groaned and felt uncomfortable thinking back at that moment, “Ah sorta wish Ah didn’t.”
“Well then… ya must understand, right? Right?! Please, big brother?!”
Apple Bloom was giving him pleading eyes so he could forgive her, but all he could see at the moment was her sister begging him in the way that she did last time, “S-s-s-top giving me those eyes, please; i-it doesn’t feel right at this moment.”
After pulling Apple Bloom away from their brother, Applejack said, “So… should we do something about this?”
After getting himself together, Big Mac responded, “It depends.” Then he looked back at Apple Bloom giving her the suspicious eye, “Who is it that mated with ya? Snips, Snails, Archer, Pipsqueak… or maybe that one who loves to eat?”
“Well… actually…” said Apple Bloom with a nervous smile, “you’d be surprised.”
Suddenly, the door behind Big Mac started to open and he turned around to see who was here. Sure enough, it wasn’t someone he expected. It was Spike who walked in and he was holding a small bouquet of flowers in his claws. He froze in place when he saw Big Mac standing there looking at him curiously. He looked behind the stallion and saw Apple Bloom smiling and waving and Applejack still giving him a small glare. He began to get nervous, and if he could sweat out of worry, he would be.
“Big Macintosh; h-h-hey there buddy!” said Spike nervously trying to stay cool, “N-nice to see you’re... finally back! Did you have fun? I’m sure you did. I just came over to visit, but I can see that you’re all in the middle of a family matter. So… I’ll just come back later.”
Spike turned around and was about to head back out of the door, but then Big Mac placed his hoof on his tail and he couldn’t move.
“Spike?”
Spike slowly turned back around towards the stallion and responded, “Y-y-y-yeah?”
Giving him a deep, serious look, BIg Mac questioned, “Did ya have sex with mah younger sister?”
“Heh, w-w-well that depends,” Spike slightly chuckled, “W-which sister are we talking about here?”
Apple Bloom quietly snickered at Spike’s comment, and Applejack glared at her while giving her a light punch on her shoulder to shut her up. Big Mac continued to stare down at Spike while not saying a word… in which he was very good at, and Spike doing his best to stay calm under pressure. When he was finally tired of the silent treatment, Spike broke down on his knees in front of the stallion and confessed.
“Okay, I admit it! I had sex with Apple Bloom, but it was unavoidable in my case. Your sister is so forceful when she’s in heat, and… well, look at that face! How can you say no to that face!?”
“Pretty easily,” said Big Mac.
“Yeah, no contest,” Applejack agreed.
Spike cautiously went over to Apple Bloom and handed her the bouquet of flowers that he had and was slightly blushing while saying, “Um… here. It’s just a little something I got for you after what happened yesterday. It’s no big deal.”
Apple Bloom hugged Spike very tightly see how much he really did care for her, "Don’t be silly, Spike, Ah love them! It's always the thought that counts."
She then gave Spike a kiss on the cheek, and he smiled and showed a little blush. Big Mac suddenly got behind Spike and started leading him outside. Poor Spike was slightly shaking wondering what Apple Bloom’ big, strong brother was going to do to him.
“A-a-are we having one of those private m-m-male to male talks?” Spike asked nervously.
Big Mac simply answered, “Yeup.”
As they walked out the door tried to follow them and shouted, “Don’t ya dare hurt him; okay, big brother?!”
“Stay right here, Apple Bloom,” said Applejack, “Let the males sort things out.”
“Ah just don’t want him to be so overprotective towards Spike,” said Apple Bloom, “Its not exactly his fault!”
“You should know yer own brother, AB. He’s quiet, shy and a pony of few words. But when it comes to protectin' anythang or anyone of this family, he’s going to step up his game a bit. But don’t worry, Ah’m sure Big Mac won’t hurt him… much.”
Apple Bloom lightly scowled at her big sister feeling a bit worried, “Don’t say that; he’s not going to hurt him at all! And if he does, it’ll be yer fault fer snitching on him!”
“Oh sure, that a good one.”
More than five minutes went by after Big Mac and Spike stepped outside, and Apple Bloom spent that time pacing back and forth in the kitchen wondering how the conversation was going… since she wasn’t allowed to eavesdrop on it. Applejack was just doing some light cleaning while she was waiting for her brother to finish with Spike. But pretty soon Apple Bloom’s ears perked up as she heard the front door open back up and he ran back to where it was, and Applejack calmly followed after.
Apple Bloom saw Spike with his claws behind his back and his head slightly tilted downwards; and Big Mac was right behind him with his usual calm, and collected expression.
“Spike, what happen?!” Apple Bloom shouted, “Did Mac tried to hurt you?! Any bruises?! Was he really tough on you?! Is he blaming you fer all of this?! Mac, you better not be blaming him fer all of this!”
Mac just looked at his youngest sister with an arched eyebrow not feeling intimidated by her threatful comment.
“Apple Bloom, it’s okay,” said Spike getting in front of her, “I’m fine. All my body parts are undamaged and intact.”
“All of them?” said Apple Bloom giving him a mischievous smirk.
Spike looked down, then he sighed and rolled his eyes and said, “Yes… all of them.” Then he explained, “Your brother was more understanding of this situation that I thought he might have been; and we both came into agreement with each other.”
“That’s great!” said Apple Bloom excitedly, “Thanks, Big Mac fer not hurting Spike and his assets.”
“Uh… sure thang,” Big Mac responded.
“Well, it’s nice that you don’t want to kill Spike,” said Applejack, “and personally Ah wasn’t going to kill him either. But what are we goin' to do about this whole ordeal? What did you and Spike agree on anyway?”
“Tell em’, boy,” said Big Mac as he pushed Spike closer to the sisters.
Spike looked at Applejack and Apple Bloom and at first he wasn’t sure how to to address the matter at first, but then he said, “B-Big Mac said that… he knows exactly how I feel because… the same thing happen to him.”
“Really?” said Applejack suspiciously, “He never told me that.”
"He even told me about a similar experience that you had, Applejack. He told me what Apple Bloom did wasn’t very far from what you did during your first heat."
"Wut?!" shouted Applejack as she brightly blushed, "Big Mac, wut were ya thinkin' talkin' about that to him! He didn't need to know that!"
Big Mac just shrugged shoulders like it was no big deal.
“Ooh, can ya'll tell me about it?" questioned Apple Bloom eagerly.
“No!" Applejack responded loudly.
“Anyway,” Spike continued, “He told me that since he went through the same thing I did, he felt like he didn’t have the right to be mad at me. Heh, he knows how it feels to have a mare almost force you to relieve her urges whether you want to or not. Am I right?"
Spike gave Mac a fist/hoof bump while the responded, "Yeup."
"So, he agreed to forgive me and not hurt me… on one condition.”
Applejack arched her eyebrow and her brother and stated, “And wut condition might that be?”
“That I take responsibility and… become Apple Bloom’s special somepony; well technically it would be some-dragon but I don’t want to ruin your tradition in words.”
“Alright!” Apple Bloom shouted as she hugged him, “Ah'm so glad he came to reason with ya, Spike!”
“Y-yeah, it’s quite a relief.”
“Come on, Big Mac, ya can’t be serious?” Applejack protested.
“Yeup.”
“Ah mean… not that Ah’m against Spike being with mah little sister, but… how do ya know that he really likes her that way?”
“Um, actually…” said Spike nervously, “after my years of being here in Ponyville, there were quite a few number of ponies that I… really came to crushing over.”
“One of them being Rarity,” Apple Bloom chuckled.
Spike groaned while leering at Apple Bloom, “Can we please get off of that fact. I’m over her already, remember? ‘Sigh’ Anyway, I had a few crushes in this town that I chose not to talk about until I was ready... not counting Rarity, and well... Apple Bloom just happens to be one of them."
"Aw, that's so sweet," Apple Bloom cooed.
"And wut do ya see in our little sister?" Big Mac brought up… even though he already knew the answer.
"Well, I definitely saw a different side to her yesterday; and to be perfectly honest, I don't know whether or not to like it or be frighten of it. But aside from that, I find her to be sweet, kind, strong, and a bit foolhardy, but she's also growing up to be a beautiful and honest pony... just like you guys; m-minus the beautiful part for you Big Mac."
Big mac nodded his head in agreement.
"So in short, I wouldn’t mind giving her a chance to be with her for a while. She's... pretty cute."
"Cuter than Sweetie Belle or Scootaloo?" questioned Apple Bloom as she got up closer in Spike’s face.
"Whoa-ho now, please don't put me in that kinda of situation."
Apple Bloom looked at her sister seeing how she was handling things, "Well, big sis, do ya approve or don't ya?"
"Fine," said Applejack, "Ah approve of this decision. Spike is our friend afterall, and Ah know he wouldn't intentionally do anythang to harm you and endanger this family. But there is still the matter of the possibility of Apple Bloom being fertile and gettin' pregnant. Ah've already made an appointment later today at the hospital."
"Come on, is that really necessary?" Apple Bloom groaned.
"Yes it is, no matter how small the probability may be; and yer still grounded for today and tomorrow, AB."
Apple Bloom continued to pout while crossing her forehooves, "Sometimes... yer no fun."
"Good, it means I'm doin' my job as yer older sister."
Spike felt a whole lot better knowing that now he was on good terms with Apple Bloom's older siblings, “So… we’re all good here, right.”
“Yeah, we’re all good," said Applejack while still giving Spike a semi-threatening glare, "... fer now.”
“Well… I’m… just going to… show myself out," said Spike nervously as he was headed back out the door... away from Applejack's glare, "I’ll try to catch you at your appointment, kay’, Apple Bloom?”
“Okay," Apple Bloom responded, "but it might be a complete waste of a visit.”
Spike just smiled and rolled her eyes as he calmly walked out the door. Afterwards, Big Mac sighed as he was headed upstairs towards their bathroom.
“So where are you goin’?” asked Applejack.
“Shower," Big Mac responded with a slight smile, "Yesterday was a long day… if ya know what Ah mean.”
Applejack groaned in slight disgust almost regretting of asking her brother that question in the first place.
“Wow, that must have been some day fer him; huh, Sis?” said Apple Bloom.
“Be quiet, Apple Bloom.”
