Chapter 6 - Artemis' dream

Heya readers, chapter 6 here.
I would warn you it is kind of short, and I don't think its exactly what want. Anyway i thought I should chuck it on here and see what people think.
If its no that good Ill probably rewrite it, See what you think

Artemis walked down the familiar streets of ponyville, his smile wide at everypony he met, Pinky Pie had long ago completed her aim and now artemis nearly always had a smile plastered on his face.
To be honest, Pinkie Pie wasn’t the only reason to smile, after all he no longer any reason to frown, sure he missed his home and family, however, he had all he could ever want right here.
He had seven awesome friends, and he had settled in very well in the short months he had been in equestria, that’s not to say he didn’t have any more friends, but the seven, Spike, Twilight, Pinkie, Fluttershy, Rainbow, AJ and rarity were the closest friends he had.

Not to mention Artemis was doing well at his job, he still worked at the Apples Farm, and due to the long work hours he has also built up the strength and stamina, to help him participate in the buck apple harvest.
The job was amazing, plenty of fresh air and work, Artemis was at his fittest he had ever been in his life, not to mention the pay was great. However, there was more to the job, and as he walked passed Applejack tending her stall, he admitted to himself that the view wasn’t often bad either. This thought quickly followed by a short blush.

His job was finished for the day, so he quickly popped into the library and the boutique to see how both Rarity and Twilight were doing. The library was in a entire state of chaos, indicating that twilight was in one of her ‘moods’, noticing spike caught in the middle of a magical vortex of swirling items Artemis decided to take action.

He waded into the mess and quickly located Twilight in the middle of a makeshift book fort, which looked from the outside nothing more than a pile of discarded books. Inside Twilight was in a craze trying to recreate some kind of spell, Artemis just went over and gave her a large hug from behind.

Twilights reaction to such a thing never ceased to amaze him, feeling arms clamp around her she would squirm around and see Artemis, then usually she would blush and teleport away in a fit of Spike giggling. Today however was different, she did the usual squirm and blush, but then out of nowhere she bucked Artemis right against the library wall.

Spikes giggling fit stopped abruptly as he noticed something went wrong with the well established routine. He just stood in silence as twilight approached Artemis’ still body as it laid slumped at the bottom of the wall. Twilight knew that humans had lower ability to take damage, after some ‘research’ she had performed on Artemis had left in hospital for a week, as such she feared the worse from the large kick and thump against the wall she had instilled on Artemis.

As she got near the body, her eyes slowly started to water, and choosing this as the perfect time to strike Artemis got up and declared “it’s on”.

The next hour was spent in a furious tickling war, where Twilight lacking the arms advantage of Artemis, had to enlist Spikes aid.

As Artemis got up to leave, all three giggling, Twilight turned to Artemis giving him a huge hug.
“You know that was a mean thing to do there, I could have killed you.”

“Oh Twilight, you’re the one who bucked me.”

“Yes but you’re the one who hugged me out of nowhere.” Twilight retorted a bit weakly.

“I was only doing it to save Spike from the hassle of items you were nearly pelting him with.” Which made twilight look sympathetic towards her young dragon assistant. “Besides” Artemis continued, now leaning close to whisper in her ear, making her blush even more as his breath touched her on the side of the face. “I know you like it.”

The look on Twilight’s face was priceless as he headed to walk out of the library. Opening the door and giving a quick high five to Spike, he said a quick “goodbye to spike and was out the door, leaving Twilight still in same position, completely still, and still with a large red blush across her face. Spike did a lot of laughing that night.


After finishing up with Twilight, Artemis headed towards Carousel Boutique. The journey was mostly uneventful, apart from a random alligator falling out of the sky and attaching itself to a nearby pony’s mane, everyone nearby had giggled much to the oblivious pony’s chargrin.

Opening up the door to the boutique, Artemis heard the familar Unicorns voice calling out from beyond the back room, the same room he had been first accosted by her those two months ago.
“Welcome to Carousel Boutique, where every garment is Chic, unique and magni....” She cut herself off as she noticed it was Artemis.

“Well welcome darling, what can I do for you today?” Rarity asked Artemis.

“Well um... Actually Rarity I wanted to get a suit for more, ‘formal’ occasions” he stated, a huge blush coming to Artemis’ face.

“Oh,” Rarity said thinking for a second what he meant, then a huge grin came to her face.
“Well that’s definitely something I could do for you, step this way.”
Again Artemis felt himself being dragged into the back room he had first been accosted in by Rarity those two months ago.

Artemis however felt much more calm than he first did, while he still blushed when she made him undress, at least she let him keep the underwear that she made for him on.
“So tell me dear, how you finding life in ponyville? met anyone ‘special’ yet?”

Artemis couldn’t help but notice that Rarity had managed to deduce the meaning behind his ‘formal’ suit.

“Special?, um not really.” Artemis blushed,
“Not yet anyway”

“Really?” Rarity asked, maybe a bit too enthusiastically.
“Well Then why’s that, I mean you must have someone you have your eyes on?”

“It’s complicated,” Artemis replied,
“I’m a human, everyone around here I could like is a pony, it just feels wrong.”

“Feelings aren’t about Right or Wrong Artemis, they are just feelings, it’s what you do that matters, you understand.” with that, Rarity blushed and battered her eyelids, leaning close to Artemis.

Artemis felt worried, the moment felt tense, and well, he was standing there partially naked in front of the pony, he made to move back but his ankle was caught in something, as he tried to move his leg he slipped.

Artemis fell over and landed on his back with mighty ‘Crack’
