Rainbow yawned softly from her spot on the bed, the cyan mare pushing her head against the one she held’s back, snuggling gently into it as she did so. She couldn’t help but push herself into her friend’s broad back, the touch almost dreamlike to the sleepy Pegasus. She soon felt movement from the one she held, the being doing their best to slip from her grasp as carefully as they could, she would, despite still being stuck in her sleepy haze, wrap her hooves tighter around the one she cuddled, a soft yet tired “Unf” resonating from the one she held.
As appose to Rainbow’s calm and sleepy demeanor, Knight’s own was at wits end. The situation he found himself within would not allow him to fall back to the sweet, sweet embrace that only sleep could give him, the one that was holding him close as a child would a teddy bear having seen to that. He had tried as many times as he could to slip from her grasp. Every attempt he had made to extricate himself from her grasp, however, ended in both failure and frustration. It didn’t help that his last attempt to pull himself away from her caused the mare to have a face full of the fur on his chest. Which only proved problematic in the long run due to her having such nice, soft, warm fur to cuddle into.
Knights froze as the mare shifted once again, a soft yawn escaping her as her eyes finally fluttered open to peer up at her bedmate. Knights was honestly surprise when she gave him a blank yet drowsy gaze before allowing her head to rest against his chest again. Astonishment soon turned to dread as he felt her snap her head back up, eyes wide and fully awake now. Both he and the cyan mare stared at each other for a long while, neither speaking a word.
It wasn’t long before Knights broke the glass of silence. “Ah…Morning…” Quick say something smart! “You felt wonderful last night!” DAMNIT!
Rainbow’s gaze turned into a glare.
“No! Wait! I mean your fur! You were rubbing against me all night!”
The glare was accompanied by a blush of indignation.
Knights broke into a cold sweat as he looked left and right trying to find inspiration to get him out of the mess he found himself in. When none came, he game the mare a smile only one on death row could give. “This is a dream?
“That’s three strikes bucko.”

Fluttershy hummed a marry tune as she toiled away in the kitchen. The smell of fried fish lingering within the air as she placed the food upon the flower adorned plate. While it was never her most favorite of activities, the shy mare knew that not all animals were of the…well…same food pallet of that of ponies, her pet bare, Berry, being a prime example of that fact. Having found out Knight’s dietary needs, she had caught and prepared him a nice meal for fried fish for breakfast. While she herself never really partook in the dish itself, she knew plenty of ponies who have, though she never knew why for the life of her.
Still, for a recovering patient in need of substance of the more…fleshy variety, she was prepared to do what needs to be done to help him recover.
With dish tray balanced perfectly upon her back, the butter-yellow Pegasus would make her way towards the room Knights resided in. She had just reached the top of the stares, his name about to ring from between her lips when someone blasted through the door, a familiar brown furred creature hitting his back against the wall just as it forcefully shot open. Knights quickly landed on his hind legs, his body turning quickly to dash towards the window at the other end of the hall. The hedgecat forced the window open, before jumping out of it, a rainbow colored streak having just shot from the room he was knocked out of, nearly tackling him right out of the air just as he dodged his way outside.
Fluttershy was left speechless as watched the events unfold, the tray of food lying upon the floor.

Knights was…well…for a lack of a better way of saying it, in deep cow manure now.
While he was able to get away with only a few light bruises, the one who was currently attacking him was both shockingly fast, and amazingly ruthless for such a cute little thing. Each of the cyan colored mare’s strikes where on point, each blow she delivered was a testament to the training she no doubt had been though. He would be impressed with her abilities if he currently wasn’t trying to keep himself from dying by her hands…hooves.
The rainbow maned mare lashed out with a spinning back kick with one of her hind leg, Knights only barely able to block the deadly strike to his head before lashing out with a kick of his own. He was met with only empty air however, the mare quickly taking to the sky before countering with a heavy axe kick to his shoulder. A shudder of pain rippled through his still recovering body, though he was able to keep a sizeable amount of damage to a minimum, shifting his body so that it carried with her strike instead of going against the blow.
Using her own force to his advantage, Knights rolled under the mare lashing at the mare with another kick. This time he felt himself connect, the cyan mare not having expected such a maneuver on his part. Despite using all of his power though, she seemed to have been made of tougher stuff then he had expected, the mare not only taking the hit but grabbing his leg in the process. Knights felt himself lurch back as the world around him began to spin violently, before having the feeling of vertigo forced upon him as he flew, his back hitting hard against a nearby tree which, he had to admit, hurt like hell.
Knights growled softly in pain as he tried to get his bearings, only the sight of a very pissed of mare meeting his vison. He sighed softly, knowing that this was his fate all along. He didn’t want to die like this, but after getting the wind knocked out of his lungs by a rather impressive feat of agility and strength, he couldn’t complain too much about it. Still, his only regret was that he was going to die being labeled as a pervert.
“Any last words creep?” The voice of his attacker called out, the tone both deadly serious in her actions and…with a hint of the tiniest bit of embarrassment laced between her words. She had raised her hoof, ready to bring it down upon his as a god would judgment upon those they deemed unworthy.
Knights coughed as he tried to catch his breath once again. He was pretty sure he was bleeding from his side but he didn’t really want cheek to make sure. Why even bother at this point. Still, if he had to go out might as well cover all of his bases. “Tell Fluttershy…I'm sorry...that I could not...Ow...Repay her....”
“Tell Fluttershy...Wait…"Rainbow pointed a hoof towards the halfbreed. "YOU’RE THE ANIMIAL THAT FLUTTERSHY IS TAKING CARE OF THIS WHOLE WEEK!” the blue mare yelled in astonishment.
“I...Don't even know how to respond to that…” Was all that he could muster at that point.
“RAINBOW MARYANN DASH!”
Both Knights and the now labeled Rainbow Dash looked in the same direction that an oh so familiar voice had come from. Both the hedgecat and the pony froze at the searing glare that was directed towards the blue mare and even though it was for her and only her, Knights could feel both the intensity and the ferocity that came with such look.
“Buck me with a cloud…” Was all that the blue mare could say.
