	Dinner came and went and, Arthur seemed to be getting along with everyone else for a change. Joker jokingly pushed Arthurs' buttons and Arthur fought back by 'accidentally' tripping on his hooves and spilling some juice on his coat. Joker at firs gave a low growl, but then laughed with everyone else. Arthur helped him get cleaned up and paid for his washing. As Arthur went back to the barracks, Jade quietly glided to him and gently pounced him. He grunted and lightly chuckled at her pinning him, "babe. I think we need to be in private quarters for that kind of thing."

Jade giggled and nuzzled him, "don't be so uptight, love." She looked into his eyes and he looked back at hers. Arthur once again broke the silence, "I think we should get to, somewhere more private love." Jade nuzzled him one last time and helped him up and the two quickly trotted back to the quarters. They guys didn't make it back so they had some private time with one another.

He walked over to the couch and gently patted a spot next to him, "so...wanna resume what we started out in the hall." She blushed a bit and nodded, gingerly trotting to him and pinned him against the couch. Her wings tickled his side and he lightly giggled. For an odd reason, his laugh was making her more aroused. She looked down and stopped tickling him for a moment. She gently pressed her nuzzle to his, "did...did you still, wanna marry me?" He looked up at her, staring into her gold yellow eyes. "Only, if you let me Jade," Arthur said as he tried licking her nuzzle.

She lightly giggled, "you sure know how to make a mare smile." She lightly kissed him and said, "let's do it then. First thing after breakfast." He nodded and lightly kissed her back. They both slowly started french kissing one another and they could feel each others arousal. Arthur chuckled and felt his erected member poking into her mare parts. She blushed heavily and quietly moaned, "don't, don't tease me. Love." He lightly grinned and rammed his rod inside her.

She moaned loudly and collapsed on top of him, lightly panting and moaning, "your, such a jerk," giggling and lightly moaning. Kissing his lips and Arthur gently bucked his hips into hers. She moaned with each kiss upon his lips and thrust against her backside. They continued their love session for some time. Arthur paced up and Jade thrusted back into him, both of them quietly moaning one another's name. Arthur went faster and faster and climaxed inside her. She moaned wildly and collapsed onto him, climaxing shortly after. He lightly chuckled and caressed her mane. As he did, he saw that on the back of her head was a brand: a House of Stormwings' Cloud and Thunderbolt.

Arthur quietly sighed and continued caressing her, merely thinking to himself 'two lone survivors.' He slowly wrapped his arms around her and fell asleep.





Morning came and he slowly woke up. Jade had wrapped her arms and wings around him, but he looked around there was a blanket draped over him. He slowly leaned his head up and looked up and saw Tin. He looked over and Arthur quickly ducked down and pretended to be asleep. The sounds of clopping got a bit louder and Arthur could feel Tin standing over them. "I know your awake Lights." He sighed and slowly woke up, "what, did you guys see."

Tin glared at him lightly, "we didn't see anything...all I can say is, if what's going on, what I think is going on, be prepared for the consequences  if caught...it could, be devistating and, give the counsel a more than enough excuse for them to go back on their promises. And yes, they have that kind of power Arthur, and its not pretty to be on the other end of the stick." He walked away and closed the door. He gently nudged Jade awake.

"We better not miss breakfast," she slowly woke up and nodded. She slowly got up and the two trotted to the mess hall. Arthur felt that it wasn't necessary to tell Jade about his talk with Tin. They met up with everyone else in the mess hall and chowed down. Tin softly spoke, "alright guys. After breakfast, we need to head to the fire house for a weapons drill and demonstration. After that, do as you please." They all quietly nodded and went back to breakfast. Arthur had Kitchen Patrol, he didn't complain and it seemed everyone was light on the messes. After that, he quickly ran to the fire house.

After their somewhat long practice and drill, everyone scattered and did their own thing. Arthur looked at Jade and she knew what was next. The two undressed into regular clothes and got their marriage license and made it official. As much as Arthur wanted the dream wedding with her, they both knew they couldn't do it. So it was as simple as it could get; just him, Jade and the minister.
