Chapter 33: Sixth Ranger

"AJ! You home?" Phoenix said as he entered the Sweet Apple Acres living room. "I'm here!" Applejack answered as she was placing some sleeping bags on the floor and snacks on the table. "Are we having another sleep over?" Phoenix asked excitedly as if it was his birthday, "I'll get the stash!" he turned around to bolt out of the door but what Applejack said next made him fall over, "It's gals only.".

Phoenix floated in front of her face giving her a pout, "That's too bad... So were's Big Mac staying when you have all the..." his his suddenly widen, "You guys aren't gonna have an orgy without me right!?".

Applejack was flustered at his suggestion, "Oh hay no! It's just us gals, doing... gal stuff. Big Mac is gonna sleep in the barn." she explained as Phoenix got a shocked look on his face, "What? No no no!... I know! Big Mac can stay at our place!" he proposed excitedly. Applejack gave it some thought before she agreed.

And so a few minutes later, Phoenix and Big Macintosh were walking towards the guys house. Phoenix had hoped Big Mac would have a smile on his face, or at least his stoic expression but he looked annoyed. "Something wrong, Big Red?" Phoenix asked giving him a worried look, "If your worried about Pomme, don't she's..." he started, thinking the big guy was worried about his sister. These thoughts were wrong as Big Mac shot him a glare. "I don't like ya." Big Mac said, making Phoenix stop in his tracks, the grin on his face dropping as he looked to the side.

"That's unfortunate." Phoenix said, looking up at the gentle giant, "Hating someone because they have super powers is a shameful thing.",
Big Mac rolled his eyes as he continued walking, "I don't hate ya because ya have super powers." he explained, gaining a hopeful look from Phoenix, "I hate ya because you won't shut up.".

Later that afternoon, the guys and after some persuading, Big Mac joined them for a game of poker.
"I'll raise..." Skywalker said before looking up, "So which of the girls would you date?" he questioned the rest as they all checked their cards.
Griffifth shook his head as he threw his cards on the table, "I'll pass. And as for you question...", before he could answer, Phoenix interrupted him, "I bet Celestia!".
"I think I rather stick my dick in an ant hill." Grififth responded dryly taking a sip from his beer as the guys burst out in laughter.

"I'm going all in and... I bet my 100% genuine Italian lamb leather jacket." McGrath said taking it off and placing it at the table, making nearly all the guys save Skywalker and Big Mac fold, "And the answer is Rarity." At this everybody let out a loud groan gaining a puzzling look from the brunette. "Everybody and their mom knows your dating Rarity, Moody." Phoenix said as McGrath looked shocked, "You guys do?", gaining an acknowledging nod from the rest.

"Well you got spotted while we were walking around town and the other day at Sugarcube Corner..." Sutakira recounted as Big Macintosh nodded, "Sorry, I happened to catch a glimpse." he admitted before Griffifth gave another question, "We're you and Rarity in heat at her home too?".

"So Big Mac, which girl strikes your fancy?" McGrath said, trying to change the subject. A faint blush appeared on Big Mac's cheeks before he muttered, "Fluttershy." The other guys tilted their heads, "I'm sorry, what was that?" Skywalker asked as Big Mac became even more nervous and said with a quieter mumble. "Uh... Fluttershy.".

"Really? I can try to hook you two up." Phoenix said as Big Mac raised an eye brow "You can't do that! Could you? You couldn't do that..." he muttered as Phoenix shook his head. I don't think your her type." Phoenix admitted, "She's more into the anime hair, warrior of justice, shooting fire from his eyes guy." he said giving a look over to Skywalker who gave him a puzzling look.

Anyways, the remaining three guys showed their hands, "Flush." Skywalker said as McGrath smirked as showing he had a full house.
"I guess I win." he wants to take the pot but Big Mac stops him. "Eeynope." the big guy said as he showed his hand, a straight flush. McGrath's expression turned to utter shock, Big Mac smirked as the other guys roared it out in amazement, damn what have they been drinking?

"Big Macintosh!" McGrath said standing up, "You are now our sixth member!" he stated as the rest of the guys cheered. "Like the Power Rangers?" Sutakira said excitedly as McGrath glared at him, "Exactly like that! Big Mac, do you smoke weed?". He gave him a raised eyebrow and a scoff, "Of course! Why do ya think I'm always so calm?"

Later, at the girls sleep over,
"Alright, Which of our guy friends would you date?" Rainbow asked, "I myself would go for Jason." she said gaining a groan from the other girls. "Sure, take the perfect guy!" Twilight complained, obviously he was also her guy of chose.
"Phoenix I guess." Applejack said, as she got a laugh from the other girls. "Silly!" Pinkie laughed, "That's like dating a male version of me!".

"So? What's ya point?" Applejack retorted as Pinkie gave her a puzzling look, "Who would ya do, Pinkie?". The pink party pony thought for a minute, she did this for dramatic effect as it was pretty obvious to her who she would chose, "McGrath." she said, before the girls could response a knock was heard on the door.

Applejack opened to see who it was, and on the front porch stood Phoenix, with his usual smile on his face. "Hey, Pomme!" he said cheerfully, "Can you step out for a second, there is something I wanna discuss." he added that last part rather seriously, so she excused herself to the other girls and stepped outside.

"What do ya wanna talk about sugarcube?" she asked as Phoenix looked deep in her eyes, his amethyst eyes locking into her own green ones.
"Pomme?" he started slowly, "Has anyone told you what marvelous eyes you possess?" he asked as Applejack gave him a puzzled look, "You know, where I'm from, women are accustomed to being showered with the praise they deserve. Men should worship you at your feet... or hooves in your case, as you pass.".

Applejack tilted her head, "They don't find that incredibly annoying?" she asked as Phoenix shook his head, "They are goddesses receiving their subjects, just as you should be. Whatever would be annoying about that?".
She rolled her eyes before answering "I've no wish to be placed upon a pedestal.", this made Phoenix's eyes winded.
"But you deserve no less!" he exclaimed with a honest tone, and as he stomped on the wooden floor with his feet, "You should be admired by painters, copied by sculptors, exalted by poets! Surely you know that yours is a beauty so exotic it...." he paused for a second trying to find the right words, "It would turn the eye of the gods themselves!" he exclaimed as Applejack blush became as red as the apple's she grew on her farm.

"Well, I suppose I..." Applejack stuttered as she leaned forward, completely hypnotized by his eyes, but she was startled by loud cheering coming from behind the bushes. Looking away from his eyes, she saw the guys and her big brother cheering loudly. She gave Phoenix an odd look as he raised his fist in the air as if he had won something.
"By Celestia!" Sutakira exclaimed, "You were right. You win.", this made Phoenix smirk and Applejack confused. "You are a master indeed. You win the bet fair and square." Skywalker said as Applejack started to catch on to what they were saying.
"Hmph. Fine." Big Mac said, while angry still impressed that his sister fell for it so easily,"So I owe you a flagon. Bastard."
"Much obliged." Phoenix said as he walked towards his guy friends, "And I think the rest of you owe me five bits." he made a small bow as Applejack said with an angry voice, "I hate ya all...".
