Chapter 21. Conversations with Twilight
I've always hated the line, we need to talk. This time I welcome it. I glance at Derpy.
"I think I'll get going, see ya Nick." Her head is down along with her ears. I move over to Derpy and give her a hug.
"Derpy, no matter what, we are friends, understand?" I whisper in her ear. She nods and moves to the door. I close the door slowly behind Derpy then turn to Twilight.
"Tea?" I am trying to cover my terror by trying to act somewhat normal. My body is cold, I must have gone completely pale, if that is possible being a brown furred pony.
She smiles tremulously, she seems as nervous about this as I am. She nods.
I bring another cup in from the kitchen while she heats the water with her magic. In moments we are sipping our tea.
"So…" she begins.
"Twilight…" I say at the same time.
"You go first…" she says,
"No, Twilight, I think you should go first."
She blushes and puts down her tea cup. She sighs. "Nick… I need to know something."
"Umm, what is that, Twilight?"
"Why did you freak out when you found out that Luna caused you to crash, and bring you here to Equestria?"
I sigh. "Is that why you moved to the door and you heard what she said to me?"
She nods slowly. "I heard you yelling, and I wanted to see if I could help."
I look down. "Twilight. I had a life back at home. I had an absolutely awesome job, flying fighter jets off of carriers. I had friends on board ship. It wasn't the best, but for the most part, I was happy. And having it all taken away from me because Luna wanted me for a mission. I flipped out, and for hurting your feelings. I apologize."
She rears back a bit. "So, you weren't freaking out about being with me?"
"Oh, no, Twilight. I wasn't lying when I told you I love you."
She looks at me seriously. "But you think I'm an animal, a beast, like horses are in your world. You said yourself, you couldn't see yourself spending the rest of your life with a…" her voice got really small, "horse." I see tears spring up in her eyes.
"So, you think I freaked out with Luna because I found out she brought me here to fall in love with an animal?"
She looks down and nods slowly.
I scoot a bit closer to her, and put a hoof on her cheek. She surprises me by leaning into my hoof and nuzzling it. "Twilight, when I first got here, I was confused, but I learned very quickly that you ponies are nothing like the equines of my world. Not even close." I sigh and look at her. "I can only think of you one way, Twilight. As an amazingly beautiful young woman." I smile at the beautiful face in front of me. "The fact that you are a pony is irrelevant to me. I love you for the beauty inside you." I use a hoof to indicate myself. "I'm a pony myself, and it looks like it's permanent." I sigh, remembering how angry I was, "I am a little bitter at that, I was taken without consent, and I am still angry at Luna for that."
"Why do you call Luna Moonbutt?"
This question from Twilight really gets my attention. "Say what now?" I know I haven't referred to Luna that way in front of Twilight. I look at her quizzically.
"I was there when Luna pulled you out of the dream, I saw it was you and made myself invisible while you talked to her."
I cower down, just kill me now. I put my hooves over my eyes.
After a few moments I feel a wing enfold me. "Nick, I only have one question regarding that."
I'm trembling now, I did not expect my private conversation with Luna to be watched by Twilight.
"Princess Luna asked you why you fell in love with me. You refused to answer her, I'm asking you for the answer."
I look at her, my mind going a thousand miles per hour. How do you explain your emotions? I've never been good at that, and now she wants an exactly that. I suppress a sigh. "Twilight, the more time I spent with you, I found I wanted to spend even more time with you. I wanted to be the reason you smile, the reason you laugh. And for some time, I had convinced myself that I was doing it because Luna wanted me to. I had convinced myself that I was doing a mission, and that I was successful. But, I realized I truly liked you. The pony that you are. Then you showed up at my door with Rainbow's little plan to spend a romantic weekend together. Everything came down to a point right there. And then I was looking at myself in the mirror in that train car bathroom. I was thinking about you, how I felt. What I felt."
I stop for a moment to contemplate my words. Putting feelings into words can sometimes be very difficult. "Twilight, I realized there that I was falling in love with you. That the brightness of my day came from me seeing you. And on days that I didn't see you, despite being a bright sunny day, it felt grey to me. You occupied my thoughts." I stop and smile sadly. "You even occupy my dreams. I think some of my best dreams have been you flying with me."
I'm interrupted, once again, by lips on mine. I don't react for a moment out of sheer shock. Then I realize that Twilight is forgiving me. I enthusiastically return her kiss. After several long moments, she pulls back.
"Nick, I love you. You need to understand that you freaking out at Princess Luna scared me. I thought that you regretted being brought here."
I smile at Twilight. "I'm angry that I was brought here by her under false pretenses. But no, I don't regret meeting you and falling in love with you."
I get an idea and trot quickly to my bedroom, a quick pull, causing a bit of pain. Then I grab some of high quality twine and I'm back in the living room.
"Twilight. I've done some reading, and I've learned a lot about ponies and how we live. I've figured since this change is permanent, I need to get caught up on all of the customs of my new home. One chapter I found interesting was about pegasi."
She nods and smiles.
"It is traditional for a pegasus to give a flower when courting, but that tradition is relatively new. It came about when inter-tribal dating became more and more common. For the longest time after the founding of Equestria, it was not exactly taboo, but certainly frowned upon for a pony to court outside their tribe. But that all changed, now it's common for a pegasus and an earth pony, or a unicorn and a pegasus, or any number of combinations to happen. But before they gave flowers, they gave a flight feather, specifically one of the longer primaries. And I know that it's traditional for a mare to give the gift to the stallion."
She nods. "Yes, it's nearly unheard of for a stallion to present a courting gift to a mare."
"Well, I've never been one for traditions. So, I am giving you my number one primary, off of my right wing, which is believed traditionally to be the closest to the heart." I extend the twine that is holding the big brown feather to Twilight. Now it's time for me to be nervous, she can reject it, or she can accept. Everything in my heart is waiting to see her response.
She stares at me, "Nick, you know what that means to pegasi, don't you? This is far more than just courting."
I nod. "Yes, Twilight. Pegasi of old believe that the giving of this specific feather is akin to giving a piece of the soul to the one they love."
Tears once again start to form in her eyes. I nervously shift a bit, waiting for her answer. Finally, her horn lights up and the twine lifts from my hoof and around her neck. She lifts the feather with her hooves and looks at it a long time. My heart is leaping with joy at her acceptance. "Nick, I don't know what to say."
"You don't have to say anything Twilight."
She looks seriously at me. "So, you actually love me? You want to get back together?"
I nod enthusiastically. "More than anything, Twilight. These last few months have been torture."
Her smile turns sly. "Even with all the mares throwing themselves at you? You stayed around when most of the unattached stallions that don't want to get hitched are bugging out. To the ponies here, that's you practically advertising yourself as being on the market."
"Ummm, Twilight, I was unaware of the smell, my nose was seriously stopped up, I can't smell to save my life. And more importantly, no pony told me that this time of year was coming up, back home, equines usually hit estrous in the warm months, not the dead of winter."
She laughs again, God, I've missed hearing that laugh. "Nick, we aren't equines from your world, and the estrous cycle comes a few times a year, and yes, it does happen in the winter. And about your nose…"
Her horn lights up and all of a sudden I can breathe easily through my nose. I inhale deeply and then I notice it. It's pretty weak, but there is an all pervasive musky smell that wasn't in Ponyville before. I feel it causing stirrings in me that make my wings flutter. I look at Twilight, "Are you suffering from the same… affliction… as most of the mares in Ponyville?"
She looks down. "My cycle came and ended about three months ago. It probably won't be back for over a year."
I do the mental math in my head, three months ago… no!
"So, you are saying when we…"
She nods.
"You were."
She nods again.
"And you knew?"
She shook her head. "No, a few days later I was told by Rarity that I was, I didn't believe her. She asked me when I started feeling intense feelings that way. I told her, and I assumed it was because of me spending time with you, Nick."
"So, you were doing that with me because of your biological urges?"
She jerked her head up. "No, Nick. That first night, that time was all me wanting you, in fact, I think it triggered my cycle somehow. The next day, I was insatiable."
I smiled at the memory. "Yes, you were. That was fun."
"Well, normally if a mare doesn't want foals she's got two options, staying away from stallions and using a cooler is one option."
"A cooler?"
She shudders. "Trust me, you don't want to know." I do want to know, but I can find that out later.
"And the second option, Twilight?"
"The no foals spell, cast on a mare in estrous. She can satisfy those urges and not have a foal in the process."
"And, you didn't know that you were starting your cycle when we…" I look down and my face flushes.
"No."
"So now you are?"
"Yes, Nick, I am."
"So, I'm going to be a father? In about eight months?"
She nods, she looks sad, or maybe scared.
I bowl her over in a hug, after flipping a few times I end up on my back, wings spread, with her on top of me looking shocked, I grab her cheeks and kiss the pure hell out of her. After a few seconds she returns my kiss enthusiastically.
After several minutes she pulls away. "So, you aren't upset?"
"Twilight, I am in love with you, if you have a foal, I will love it too, because it's part you." I stop for a moment to think. "And it's part me as well."
"And you won't have a problem when I'm heavy and about to give birth?"
I have to laugh. "Twilight, I'll find you beautiful no matter what. Don't you worry about that."
She collapses onto me and hugs me hard. She definitely has that earth pony strength.
"You are going to be a wonderful mother, Twilight," I whisper into her ear.

So... It's over? Really?
Woah...
The very first romantic story that has really made me immensely interested, never before have I encountered any romantic or love story that has, until this one if course. I give you lots of applause and a big congrats and thankyou for the amazing story. (Though it feels a little sad it is done =P). I'm looking forward to more stories of you should you make others (or check your channel in case you have more).
~Red
((Jeje, it's fun to write a little more formal Sometimes XD))
4596042 Still the epilogue.
4596042 Yes, the main story is done. I will be writing an epilogue, but since the main thrust of the story is done, I'm tagging it complete. In a month or so, I'll be posting the epilogue, once I help my daughter polish her sentence structure and grammar. And we are still figuring out how to get her story posted, since she's 12 and can't get an account on FimFiction until she's 13. I might post it, or we might wait until she's old enough (her b-day isn't THAT far away). But either way, I'm deep in writing my next story, and once I hit 30k words with it, I'll be posting it. Until then, I have 3 other stories that I've posted.
4596362 cool!! I can't wait for the epilogue XD
4596321 yep, that's something good XD
4596362 Or you can lie about your daughters age. Pro tip: Fimfic is not able to see through your computer and know the real age of your daughter, nor does anyone actually care.
4597808 I am not going to teach my daughter that if she doesn't like the rule, she should circumvent it. She can wait, and once I get her story polished enough for publication, I'll likely post it on her behalf.
4600178 That's not what I'm saying at all. She should only circumvent the rule if she can get away with it.
4600408 LOL, with me being her Daddy, I certainly won't let her get away with it.
But seriously, I'll get it posted in a while, I'm going to focus on Dust on the Wind until I hit the 30k threshold. Though this story is flowing pretty good so far, but at least the first part of the story is already outlined by Twisted Spectrum for how the transformation goes. It makes writing that much easier. But of course, I'm adding my own twists to the story, so I think it will be good.
4600426 Just so you know, it really doesn't matter if she joins, since that rule was only made into law by the American government to protect young children who don't know any better from online predators, and you being able to easily and regularly monitor that renders it unneeded. And no mod will get angry cause another person I follow regularly states that she's below thirteen, and isn't banned yet. Although if you're really insistent that she follows the rules just because they're there, that's fine too. If it stops Superman from taking the law into his own hands and murdering his enemies, I suppose it can't be too bad of a philosophy.
4600871 I don't insist on rules that are truly stupid, but a rule limiting membership to a site to help protect children from online predators is a good thing in my book. And yes, she is closely monitored. And it helps that she's a good kid. She is frustrated by the age requirement, but she doesn't think to circumvent that by simply changing the year in the registration. That makes me happy that I've got an ethical daughter.
Are you planing on making a sequel to this story?
4609871 I am thinking of what I can do for a complete story for Nick and Twilight, I've had two requests for a sequel, and I'm seriously considering it. My daughter will be posting a continuation (different main character, though tied to what's happening here) before too long. But an actual sequel will require a fully fleshed out story. (they have already fallen in love) I know happily ever after doesn't exist in stories, but I have to figure out what they would do in the story. I've been bouncing a few ideas around my head (Nick still doesn't have a cutie mark, what kind of mare would Twilight be while pregnant, what is this foal going to be like. So I'm not leaving the story behind, but it is back burner, at the very least until I get Dust on the Wind (my five score divided by four story) posted and up and going. Do you have any questions about the story that I can answer?
4609966 nothing at the moment but if I think of something I will be sure to ask
4645584 Thank you for your input.
4713770 He did not generally avoid her, most of the time they spent before they got romantic was "off screen" Only referred to, not explicitly stated.
4767571 No, he was taken and transformed. What was left behind wasn't him.
4767939 Because I'm a writer.
i loved this story. thow i usaly like luna she was a bitch at this point
5158935 She doesn't like that Discord was the villain and refuses to read it. She prefers A New Teacher and a New Purpose.
An interesting reading experience.
Storyline has reasonable depth, though the way things are worded doesn't keep up with that. Would be worth revision. Both to enhance the story and to tend the grammatical errors.
I also see Winning-verse Cloud Kicker. Her personality is largely set forever as a pervert on some level.
5365479 I do try to have her as she is in the winningverse. As to the rest, I was still a very newbie writer for this story, so it's a bit rough around the edges. But I think it gets my point across. I am working on the sequel, but it's slow going. I will get it done, just isn't number one on things to do.
5365777 One thing I've found that works for me in improving upon where I've been is re-reading and making tweaks as I go. I have noticed I've improved my implementation a fair bit over time and looking back makes it more noticeable.
I'll look forward to the sequel.
I am so ashamed I have never let a comment on this grate story.
I really need my plot kicked for this over site.
the last chapter is just so good I cant even bring my feeling to words.
the prof reader has done a expellant job with the hole story and sparkle brony has really made a masterpiece here.
I know the sequel is just as good as this is some thing like the 6th time I have read this series.
I have chatted with sparky brony on a few occasions and have found him to be a vary good pony and a super listener as he has listened to some vary silly ideas I have troughed his way on more then one occasion and has always taken the time to at lest look them over before throwing them in the fire place and laughing historically at me.
I am pretty sure I am sounding rather sappy at this point so I will just stop here have a good day all.
harts fire sighing off.
5429843 There is a sequel, it's called A New Purpose.
5436607 Mission accomplished, after 4.5 hours of nonstop reading.
5731518 he does so a few times. Part of earning his wings. Lol
5778990 I actually was that dense when I was younger, I told my wife (before we were married) that we were temporary, I still haven't lived that down, even after nearly 15 years of marriage. So Nick had to do something like that think it works pretty well.
SEQUEL!
5800179 it's called a new purpose.
5800198 yay!! now i won't be bored on my birthday! thank you
5800225 I do have other stories as well, I hope you enjoy.
6394748 ahhh, but who put him at deaths door, lol.
Why does this not have a human tag?
You have impressed me beyond all measure, I salute you!
More pls
10026876 Oh I'm still reading. Just because I downvoted now does not mean it will stay that way. I want to see this through until the end then make my final decision. I try to be honest in my dealings with others as much as possible, I am also blunt and direct. Lots of people get upset by it, but I am who I am and I will make no apologies for it.
10027171
I have no problem with either your comments or the downvote. It was an early story, and as such was weaker than some of my later offerings. Blunt and honest assessments are always appreciated.
10027687 Well then I am happy to help! I will strive to be as constructive as possible. If at some point you want to give this a rewrite, it could turn out to be quite good.
Okay I finished the story. I will remove the Downvote, but I will not be Liking or faving the story. It redeemed itself enough for me to pull the downvote, but not enough for a like.
