> Jack's mistake
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

	I had been losing a lot of sleep recently I began to shut myself in my home and away from those six devils. I personally didn't hold what was happening against them personally but tonight you were determined to keep up your record of 'surviving' the night. I thought that my life was going to be easy but no about a week after I moved to Ponyville this all started. At first it was any random combination of three of the mane six wandering my house stealing bits and pieces of my clothes, most notably my boxers, The main culprit of this was Fluttershy. All of this could have been easier but no by my luck it had to be the elements of harmony... 

"Oooohhhh Jack, Darling~" mused Rarity, "You know it's improper to ignore a lady."

I could recognize that tone of voice anywhere. "GO AWAY RARITY!" I dove to slam my fist into the lock door button. Swiftly I returned to my desk checking the cameras in my house. As soon as I thought I was safe I heard a voice next to me. That voice belonged to a certain pink-haired party girl. My heart sank knowing she had made her way to me without me noticing.

"Surprise!!! Come on Jackie, let me be your first you know you wanna."

"NO PINKIE STOP TRYING TO GET ME TO GIVE YOU MY VIRGINITY!!!" I turn to Pinkie faster than I can blink and kick her out of the door slamming the button to shut the door. I begin to check the monitor to the right door where rarity originally was and it seemed clear so I opened the door and in came a flash of rainbow colors that hit like a truck when it tackled me. When I hit the ground I had the wind knocked out of me and I was slipping in and out of consciousness, Which wasn't helping me with my current predicament.

"I GOT HIM GIRLS!"

Back in Jack's hometown a few days before he moved to Ponyville...

"Mom do I really have to move to Canterlot? It's filled with stuck up snooty rich people. Plus there wouldn't be much for me to do there other than to cry myself to sleep knowing my mother doesn't care where I go, and wither up and die in a corner,"

"Jack it's final you're moving to Canterlot with your aunt, no if's and's or but's about it," My mom was a 5'2" unicorn who loved teasing me about my above average height of 6' and the lack of horn and/or wings my father was a Pegasus weird combination, don't ask, And with that she handed me the lunch she had made me which consisted of a sandwich with some cucumbers, fruit, celery, and soda. reverting back to my childish side which hasn't grown out of apple juice boxes because apple juice is badass, I put the soda back and grab my iconic apple juice box and head to the table.

"Mom I'm eighteen can't you trust me enough to make my own life decisions? I mean I bet at my age you were wanting to be in full control over your own decisions. With that being said I want you to consider this, What if I can keep myself financially stable to keep myself 'afloat' in society?" I made air quotations to emphasize afloat as a metaphor.

My mom looks at me with a sad look in her eye knowing both she is getting old and I'm growing up. I seize this moment of weakness as an opportunity to deliver the 'final blow'. "I promise to write as often as possible which should be every one to two days." I take a bite of my sandwich.

This earned me bonus points with my mother's favor and she let a few tears loose. She knew full well that when I argue she better be ready to retort with a validated reason. Thus she gave up.

"You had better write every Jack Noah Walker. I swear you're as stubborn as your father, have you decided where you want to move?" She looked at me questioningly as if to say that I wouldn't know where to go.

I smile knowing I was full prepared to answer Manehattan but what came out of my mouth even stupefied me.

"Ponyville..."

My face seems to be frozen with inner fear as I keep a straight face 'What the...What's wrong with my mouth. It's like I lost all control over it.' I snap back to reality eating a cucumber slice. "Also thanks for the food mom." 

My mother looks at me as if I had gone mentally insane and had just eaten a child's heart in front of her. Needless to say it was a confused look. After a few minutes and I had finished my food my mother had regathered her thoughts and spoke as I threw my garbage away.

"Are you sure, Honey, Ponyville is such a quiet town. There isn't much to do there, But whatever you do I support your decision," She walks over to me and kisses my forehead as I bend down to close the trash can.

"Really Mom you had to wait until I bent over to kiss my forehead, Oh wait I'm taller than you." I laugh as she brings up the fact that only seventeen years ago she was able to hold me in her arms and rock me back and forth.

"I know Mom I love you too now I need to go finish packing." I return to my almost barren room only my poster of my dad's work on the ceiling so I take it down and roll it up for my mother. A three days later I begin and finish moving my boxes down stairs and I pull out a pair of extra clothes. "Mom I'm gonna go take a shower!!" I walk to the shower and turn it on.

Thirty minutes later I come out of the shower and dry my hair and stare into the mirror I had a light tan on my body from moving the boxes to the moving company's van, along with that tan I had deep blue eyes and jet black hair. I didn't have gigantic pulsating muscles like most males my age but I had enough to get by and if you stared long enough you could see the faintest outline of a six pack, I slipped on my underwear then my slim fitted jeans, next came on my shirt, then my socks, my favorite black and white high top converse, and finally my forest green AOT jacket from the scout regiment.

"I'm finally leaving the nest mom. I'm gonna miss you," I hug her and kiss her cheek as she whispers her goodbyes to me her warm tears soaking into my jacket. I wave goodbye as the taxi cab takes me to the train station. The train arrives within five minutes of my own arrival. I smile knowing I was going to be on time to meet the movers at my house.

Upon arriving at the train station in Ponyville I grab my bags and start heading to the address of my new home. I had made sure this house had everything I needed it was a one story home with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living room, and a kitchen. Although it didn't seem like much this house meant the world to me. My room was at the back of the house with no windows whatsoever for paranoia of being killed in my sleep, it also had two doors one that lead to a hall to the bathroom and living room, that was the left one. The other door lead to the other bedroom and my kitchen. Not all my clothes fit in my dressers so I had to use the one in the guest bedroom since I didn't anticipate having any guests over. My mom over packed my stuff, I still love her to death though. After the movers had arrived and helped me get situated I heard a knock on my door. When I opened it I was tackled by a pink mess that was overly hyperactive.

"You're not from around here are you?! I know so because I know everybody in Ponyville and I've never seen you before. I'm Pinkie Pie by the way, who are you?" Pinkie looked at me expectantly so I reluctantly told her my name.

"Assuming you want to know my first and last name my name is Jack Walker. As you can see I'm an ordinary person, due to a lack of horn and wings. Now I need to finish unpacking my clothes so for now this is goodbye." I begin to close the door and turn around only to be met with a pair of sapphire eyes. "What the...How....Why...You know what never mind I'll ponder it later. Did you require any further of me?"

Pinkie turned around and sat on the couch. "Nope but I have to introduce you around ponyville so you can meet everyone so I'll wait until you're done." She turned on the T.V. and sat there patiently waiting for me to finish.

About an hour later I finished getting my clothes and other daily necessities put away and I went out to the front room to look for Pinkie. "Miss Pie are you out here?" She jumped on my back causing me to fall to the ground. Luckily I had used my hands to slow the descent. As I got up I saw a giggling Pinkie sitting on the couch. "Thanks Pinkie." I said with the most sarcastic tone possible. "Ready to take me to Ponyville?"

She nodded furiously and dragged me out of the house by my hand and we went around town meeting everyone to my surprise Pinkie did know everyone, I thought she was yanking my chain. At last we came to a stop in front of a tree looking house in the middle of Ponyville on the sign above the door read 'Library.' 

As we entered the door Pinkie told me to stay here as she went to go find one of her five bestest friends in the whole world so I sat down in a chair thinking about when I'm going to send my mom a letter letting her know I made it safely. About five minutes had passed until Pinkie came down with a purple-haired girl that had a streak of lighter purple on the left side of her hair. "There he is Twilight, that's the guy I was talking about. Want me to go get the others?" Pinkie stopped at the bottom of the stairs waiting for a response from her friend.

"Sure Pinkie, I have a few questions to ask him." The purple haired girl sat next to me as Pinkie left the building faster than anything I've ever seen. "So Jack, I'm Twilight Sparkle, the personal student of Celestia, and the librarian here......"

After thirty minutes or so of playing question and answer with Twilight, Pinkie came in the door with five other girls and I thought 'Oh great...There goes my normal life...' as Pinkie went down the line introducing her friends I realized I was hungry. "Excuse me Pinkie but I must be going. It was nice meeting you Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fluttershy, Apple Jack, and Pinkie, but I'm hungry and I need to get home so I can cook" and with that I left for home.

A day later Rainbow dash drug me to sugar cube corner interrupting my cleaning. "SURPRISE!!!!!" Pinkie flipped on the light and jumped at me. My lip began quivering before I turned and ran home not stopping or turning around to answer Pinkie's calls of my name before I knew it I was at home, locking my door, and regaining my composure. I looked at the clock and it was one in the afternoon so I finished my cleaning and ate a small lunch. Around five in the afternoon I heard a quiet knock at the door and I checked who it was and it was a downcast looking Pinkie.

"Please go away Pinkie.....I can't bear to face you right now...Not after what happened." As I began to close the door Pinkie stepped forward and extended her arm to stop the door.

"No Jack...I've come to apologize. I'm sorry I should have asked how well you do in crowds....I was so caught up in planning for your party I forgot to ask you." she looked to her feet. "I hope you don't hate me..."

I smile hand hug her. "Pinkie, I could never hate you you're too nice to hate. Plus the people of Ponyville need someone as lively as you. It brightens their day. It's getting late would you like to come over with the others tomorrow?" She livened up and smiled.

"Sure Jack, See you then." after that she turned around and bounced off to sugar cube corner and I went to my room to prepare for bed.

Back in the present

"Are you ready Jack?" Rainbow Dash looked at me with pure lust as she began tugging at my shirt. 

"You have made a fatal flaw Rainbow. It's 5:58AM. Also while I try to wiggle free think of the word pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis." Rainbow looked confused while I freed myself from under her and started running.

"JACK, GET BACK HERE." I heard all three cry in unison. I began picking up speed as Rainbow tackled me again. "You're mine Jack. Don't try running this time."

"I won't give up!!!." My heart just about exploded when I heard my wrist watch go off signaling it was officially six in the morning. A confused Rainbow Dash sat upon me with no recollection of what happened as Pinkie and Rarity came out of my house. "Just go get some sleep Rainbow Dash you'll need it, don't question what happened." I got up and headed to my house crawling in bed with a dopey smile on my face as sleep enveloped it's warm embrace around me.
> Jack's first outing
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

	When I woke up I got dressed and drank a cup of coffee and ate a toasted bagel. "Mmm. That's the stuff," Afterward I headed to into Ponyville to stock up on food and coffee but on the way I ran into a shy yellow Pegasus who blushed madly when she saw me and hid behind her brilliantly pink hair as she poked her fingers together. "Are you okay Fluttershy?" I was concerned because she wasn't usually this shy around me. 'Maybe I did something wrong' Soon she spoke up.

"Jack would you mind following me. I have something to tell you in private," I nodded in agreement and followed her to her cottage. "Jack. For the past week I've found that I keep waking up with a pair of your boxers in my arms...Not that I mind or anything...And I thought I should return them," She handed me a bag filled with my boxers.

"Thank you Fluttershy I was wondering where these were going. I was beginning to run low on boxers," I turned to exit the house but she grabbed my jacket hood. "Yes, Fluttershy?" She was blushing madly but she finally looked me in the eye and said something that caught me completely off guard.

"Putting those boxers in a bag, and let alone approaching you about it was an embarrassing feat for me. For that I want you to spend the day with me...I mean that is if you want to..." When I heard that I felt my jaw drop and I had the audacity to speak.

"Wh-what do you want with an ordinary person like me, I'm sure there are other guy's out there more fitting of your company than I," I began to shift uncomfortably as she stared at me. Her gaze felt like daggers in my soul, it wasn't a pleasant feeling

"I-I wanted to spend the day shopping with you," I stopped squirming and looked at her with a look of pure stupidity. She had noticed this and began giggling so she let go of my hood and I dusted myself off for no apparent reason.

"Then why didn't you just ask, instead of making this sound so intimate. You nearly gave me a heart attack Fluttershy," I smiled and scratched the back of my head awkwardly as I looked at her.

"I'm sorry...I didn't mean to," She looked at the ground and had misty eyes from the newly forming tears. When the dams were about to burst I cupped a hand under her chin and lifted her chin up so she was staring directly into my eyes.

"I'd love to. Plus I was headed into town to go get some coffee and other things I need daily. Before I ran into you that is. Shall we go?" I held out an arm for her to take but she seemed content to stand next to me. Knowing my gesture was a bit over the top I felt stupid. Almost as stupid as an arrow through the knee.

When we finished shopping I ended up carrying animal feed, shampoo, conditioner and other items I had forgotten because of the weight I was carrying. We quickly made our way to Fluttershy's cottage so I could drop off the stuff and she knew it was heavy. After I set her items in her living room I turned out to face the door but to be met with a kiss to the cheek from Fluttershy whom had been blushing profusely. "Thank you Jack. You're so kind," with that she pushed her way past me and to her room so I stepped outside blushing. A few minutes after I had closed the door it had registered in my brain that Fluttershy had kissed my cheek and I raised a hand to my cheek to make sure I was alive, sure enough I was.

After an hour of wandering around I made my way to my house putting away the coffee and food items for my daily meals. Content with the arrangement of the food articles in the pantry I closed the door and headed to my room and stretched. "Man what a long day," I dressed into my pajamas and sat in the living room waiting for night fall. I got up and began collecting energy drinks and I made myself a PB&J sandwich and headed to my room wishing I had a camera system. 'I'll have it installed tomorrow.' After finishing my sandwich I cracked open the first of many energy drinks to be consumed tonight.

I heard my front door creak open and the sound of footsteps coming down the left hallway. I poked my head out to see Twilight. "NOPE!" I then waited until she was in front of me to slam the door shut in her face. "GO HOME TWILIGHT, YOU NEED SLEEP!"

She was intentionally knocking on the metal to annoy me. "Come on Jack, Let me in these doors aren't as hospitable, or cute, as you," The knocking was beginning to get to me when I peeked out the other hall only to be met with a pair of emerald green eyes.

"Hi sugar cube," I scrambled inside slamming the door button. She began kicking the door and I opened the left door risking my life due to a lack of cameras and I was relieved when I saw nobody out there. 

"Oh thank Celestia," I sat in my chair. "Please let her be gone," I opened the right door only to be met with Fluttershy. "AGAIN NOPE!!!!!!!" I slammed the door shut again. "Why me....Why not my two other friends that happen to be male....They, at least, are dating material," I was answered by a purple bookworm.

"We chase you because you push us away when we try to come into your house. It's very sexy. I can only imagine all the things I'm gonna do when I catch you," I died a little inside when I heard her speak and I slammed the right door open to see Fluttershy and Apple Jack waiting patiently. 

"Please forgive me you two." I pushed the farm girl and animal lover into the wall and began sprinting. "THIS IS WHY I NEED A CAMERA SYSTEM!!!" I had gotten no further than 500 yards from my house before a rope entangled itself around my leg causing me to fall forward. "NO NOT LIKE THIS!!!!! I WANT IT TO BE CONSENSUAL!!!!!!!" I dug my fingers into the ground and surprisingly I held my place as the rope tugged on my leg.

"Sugar cube, You're makin' this hard on me. Now let go before ah have to make you," She began advancing on me keeping the rope taut. she had gotten a stones throw away before all three girls had gotten in a fight over who got the first turn with me.

'Oh Celestia....Help me...' As if my prayers were answered the rope around my leg had slipped loose allowing me to get up and run into the Everfree Forest. "I might just survive," I made a circle around to my back door of my house and ran to my safe room and before long all three girls were entering my house calling my name trying to be as seductive as possible.

"Jack, You are going to love me," Fluttershy was advancing in the left hall whilst Apple Jack and Twilight came from the right.

"THESE ARE NOT THE DROIDS YOU'RE LOOKING FOR!!!!!!!" I pushed both buttons to close the door a bit harder than necessary, but nothing would be taking my virginity tonight even if I had twenty percent battery and it was four in the morning. "Come on I'm gonna be screwed if they stay there any longer." Thirty minutes passed before the noise had stopped so I opened both doors, relieved to see nothing there. I had assumed Fluttershy had made her way to the guest room to steal more of my boxers, as Apple Jack and Twilight were headed to the front room. It was quiet for another hour and twenty five minutes before I had realized Fluttershy was staring at me from the right hall way. "DEAR SWEET CREATOR OF DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS!!!!" I closed both doors and the night went by without a single sound and Six o' clock came around.

'That was too close...I need to go get that camera system installed.' I chugged the rest of my fouth energy drink. The other three had been consumed during the time I had been waiting for an hour and twenty five minutes.

Running on no sleep whatsoever I got dressed and made my way to the electrical appliances store and met my friend Frost Nightwing or as I shortened it Frosty. He was an average height Pegasus he looked pale with electric blue hair and had three freckles on each cheek in the shape of triangles. "Oy Frosty I need cameras to last the night,"

"Oh getting kinky are we Jack??" He chuckled at his joke and motioned for me to follow him. He was significantly shorter than me but what he lacked in height he made up for in speed and agility.

"Oh ha ha ha Frosty, that was hilarious maybe you can be a stand up comedian some day," I smiled as he handed me the cameras "How much do I owe you?"

"One hundred and fifty bits," I smiled and pulled out my bits pouch and gave him the exact change. "Also the next time you see Rainbow could you tell her to come find me...I think I'm gonna pop the question and ask her out," I smiled coyly at Frost. 

"I didn't know you had a thing for Rainbow." He told me to shut up and I headed home to install the cameras and monitor system after I thanked him. After I had finished setting up the camera system I had a camera in every room covering all fields of view including one on the wall in front and behind me up near the ceiling. Hey you can never be too safe. I tested the cameras and all of them worked. 'Now I can see Where they are at all times.' I decided to set my alarm to wake me up at eight in the evening and I went to bed still fully clothed.
> Jack's new nightmare
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

	I had woken up fifty minutes before the alarm had gone off so I called Frosty over to play some games with me mainly Left 4 Dead 2, Halo 3 ODST, Call Of Duty Black Ops 2 Zombies, and Dungeons and Dragons. With all of these distractions 11:55 came up pretty fast and I just about died inside. "Oh Shiitake mushrooms, Frost.....We have to get to the back of the house....NOW!" I grab his arm before he can protest and I shove him into my safe room. "Frost...Whatever you see, whatever you hear. Know that you cannot trust any of them,"

"What the hell are you talking about Jack?" Frost gave me a look of confusion.

"Frost about a week after I moved here our elements of harmony have decided to take a 'liking' to me and keep trying to get into my pants," I glared at Frosty as he gave me a sly smile. "The strange thing is at six in the morning they remember nothing about the night before so please don't mention this to them. I'll tell them when the time comes," 

Frosty nodded and I spoke up once again. "Frosty. I need you to watch these seven monitors." I explained to him each monitor and where each camera was. "Call me on the walkie if you see anything. It is imperative to keeping my virginity that you tell me as soon as you see any body else other than you or me on the camera," 

"What about Rainbow Dash can I let her in?" I glared at frost and cave him a cold response.

"Do you want your brains fucked out in a cloud house?" I inwardly face palmed knowing what I just said. After a few seconds of silence he shook his head and started to watch the screens as I went out the right door to the kitchen to get a couple pre-made sandwiches and a few energy drinks. When I returned I handed Frost a sandwich and an energy drink to start off. "Frost Nightwing.....Do not, under any circumstances let anyone else in this room. You got me?" 

"Yeah, Yeah Jack, don't get your panties in a bunch," We both laughed at his joke. It felt good to laugh for once rather than keeping my guard up every day. I began to intently watch the screens and at first I hadn't seen anything until I noticed a certain purple haired fasionista walk through the door. 

"Oh Jack, darling,  I'm back" she called out in a sing song voice. I decided to at least try.

"Hey Rarity, maybe you should go home and get some sleep!" Frost openly laughed at this futile attempt and I saw Rarity perk up on the screen. She now knew Frost was here. She began to stalk down the left hallway. The only thing I could think of as I saw Rarity stalk down the hallway was Swiggity swooty I'm comin for that booty.

Despite all the humor that I found in that I could only watch in horror as I sat watching the screen. Frost on the other hand had already stood and pushed the button to close the door and I came back to reality. "Thanks Frost. I can only think of the unspoken horrors that could have happened with out you here,"

"No problem Jack, What are bros for?" He smiled warmly at me as he sat down with me. He patted my shoulder knowing what I was thinking and he was trying to be my friend in my time of need to his surprise it calmed me down a lot.

"Thanks Frosty," I returned to staring at the monitor as I saw something. The princess of the night. "Oh....We're boned..." This was my first encounter with an alicorn. Let alone Princess Luna. "FROSTY GET TO THE CHOPPER!! IN OTHER WORDS MOVE YOUR ASS!" We began to run down the right hallway and we made it to the Everfree Forest before luna had stepped out from behind a tree.

"WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS!!!!" when Luna used her Canterlot voice it was louder than anything I've ever heard before and it almost shattered my ear drums. Frosty, on the other hand, seemed unfazed I assumed this was because he was a unicorn.

I tried to answer as calmly as I could. "I'm...I mean we are trying to keep ourselves from being raped. Consequently this means I, as well as Frosty hopefully for this one night, have to stay up all night." I looked a bit sheepish under Luna's gaze.

"We know this was as per request from the six ponies after your heart. We thought you were partaking in another activity." My jaw dropped to the floor after hearing her say that. I turned to see Rarity, Rainbow Dash, and Twilight all exiting my house looking for me. 

"Oh no..." I began pushing Frost despite his protests to see Rainbow Dash. "FROST MOVE IT UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE RAPED!!!" we began to pick up pace due to Frost finally running. 

We had made it to the back door as soon as Rainbow Dash had landed behind us. "Hey Jack, oh I see you brought a friend along. Hi Frosty," She gave a seductive wave and blink to Frosty and he stood there paralyzed

"OH HELL NO!" I grabbed Frost's shirt as I drug him inside and sprinted to my back room setting him on the chair slamming both buttons to lock the doors. "Frosty are you okay?"

"I am now," Frosty replied. "What was that."

"That was Rainbow Dash seducing you with a look of pure lust now as I said don't trust them. not for another..." I checked my watch. "Fifteen minutes." as I said this I felt a presence behind me and I turned to see Luna squeezing through one of my monitors. "How the...?" She calmly walked over and broke both of my door locks open causing the doors to raise and I gave her a look of pure hatred as she gave me an innocent smile.

"Well Frosty it was nice knowing you...They're after me. Not you...Due to this fact I'm going to run out the left door towards Rainbow Dash and you had better make it out alive. If I don't...Make sure to send my mom a letter letting her know I went out helping you get out in tact,"

I saluted and began sprinting hoping Frosty would go the other way. To my dismay he followed me. "Bros gotta stick together, Live together metaphorically die together," I smiled as we ran and we came into a few close calls but for the most part made it out unscathed. 

After the sun rose I made my way with frosty to his store and bought him a few energy drinks as I also bought new door locks to replace the ones Luna had broke. "Well Frosty, I'm sorry you had to deal with that whole fiasco."

"Not at all Jack...I've only...I'm over Rainbow Dash...It just wouldn't work out between us." He looked down a bit sad but he brightened up. "I see now why I don't see you around much though," He smiled and laughed. "Good luck Jack."

"Thanks Frosty I'm gonna need it." I waved to him as I went to go work on my locks.

As soon as I got home I saw Luna on my couch. "What are you still doing here...You nearly got my virginity stolen..." she followed me to the back of my house as I repaired my locks.

"We only came to see if thou survived and to spend the day with thou, but we see thou is occupied so we will return to Canterlot." She turned to leave and I grabbed her arm. 

"I'm not one to refuse a date with the Princess of the Night," I smiled and she blushed knowing I intentionally took that the wrong way. "So where to Princess?"

"Please call us Luna." She smiled and led me to the door. "We are going to get lunch. That is if thou would accompany us." She opened the door and headed out as I followed.

"Sure I'm hungry anyway. Why not," I smiled and followed her to a new sandwich shop and she ordered a veggie sandwich while I ordered an egg salad sandwich. "Allow me," I pulled out a chair for her and she took it and I sat in my own chair. 

"So tell us about thyself Jack." She smiled warmly at me as I pondered what her angle was. She sat there patiently and finally spoke up. "Well?"

I snapped out of my thought and told her my life story, which by my own judgement was boring...she seemed interested though and she seemed to hang on my every word. "Luna...? Are you okay...? You seem to be staring at me," Even after our sandwiches had arrived she was still staring at me. "Equestria to Luna, Come in Luna,"

She snapped out of her trance and blushed wildly and ate her sandwich. "Seems as if you're okay." I finish my sandwich and quickly pay for it before Luna can protest. I smile and sit back down in front of her as she finishes her sandwich.

"Where to Luna?" she brightens up as she hears these words.

"We were hoping to get to play those magical boxes you call video games" She blushed as she asked. I smile and nod and we head for my house as I explain the layout of a controller and she now knows the complete layout for a controller of any type.

"Ready to play Luna?" she smiles and sits next to me as we play some games starting with small first person shooters and we advance to more complicated ones such as Battlefield and Sniper Elite. (Pls don't sue me) Feeling as If I had gained another friend I realize it is around five in the afternoon. "Luna I need to get some sleep before I'm attacked again." She smiled at me.

"Thou shalt not worry. We have stopped that for now, until we get bored again," I looked confused and almost smacked myself from these words.

"Okay then I'm just gonna head to my room now...Have a good night Luna," I smiled and waved as I headed to my room to change and I saw Luna at the door. "Did you need something." I stopped and stood as Luna finally answered me. 

"I was hoping to stay here for the night...Our sister isn't too happy with our latest prank," She explained her latest prank to me and I smiled and laughed at her prank and nodded.

"Fine you can stay here. Only for tonight though," She squealed with glee like a giddy school girl and hugged me. "Luna...I...Need...Oxygen..." She let me go blushing.

"We are sorry Jack." She looked downcast and I reassured her it was okay.

"You can sleep on my bed tonight since it is the comfiest and I will sleep in the guest room." I walk past her and push her into my room and I get changed in the guest room and I lay on the bed only to be woken up to Luna staring in my face. "Can I help you?"

"We thought thou wished to see our night." She smiled innocently and I got up.

"Alrighty Luna let's see your night." I go outside with her and look at the stars my breath taken away. "L-L-Luna...It's...It's amazing. I've been too distracted trying to preserve my virginity I haven't had time to look at the stars," she began to blush and she smiled at me.

"Thank you Jack." she pulled me into a hug and kissed my cheek both of us blushing a shade of red I've only seen in Rainbow Dash's hair.

"I'm gonna go back to bed I have to meet with Frosty tomorrow," I returned to my room and went to my bed only to feel something crawl up next to me, I didn't mind though my mind was set on falling asleep and nothing was going to stop me, and with that I fell asleep.
> An interesting morning
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

	When I had woken up in the morning I had felt an arm across me and I shrugged it off as nothing and tried to get up. This wasn't a good idea in the slightest. When I had started moving the mysterious arm had tightened it's grip on me to the point of near suffocation so I decided to lay back down and appease the being owning the arm.

When I had done so I lifted the blankets off enough to see Luna peacefully sleeping there. "So cute," I whispered. Luna had begun to stir and I tried reassured her I was there with a calm back rub. This caused her to scoot up farther in the bed and lay on my pillow next to me.

'I can feel her breath on my neck this is way to intimate even Frosty would agree,' I tried to gently shake Luna awake but to no avail, my next attempt was to call out her name. "Luna it's time to wake up," I tried to sound as quiet as possible. Yet loud enough to wake her up. When I had thought all hope was lost I remembered she was ticklish so I began tickling her ribs and she had began squirming and when she woke up she gave me a pouty face. "Having fun Luna?"

"We were having a good dream about thou, we expect that thou will compensate us in the near future," I smiled and nodded. "Good then we are happy...For now," I laugh and get up. 

"I'm gonna go check on Frosty and see how he is doing I'll be back later, have fun on the games," I grab my clothes and get dressed in the bathroom. "See ya when I get back Luna!" with that I exited the door and made my way to Frosty's work. "Hey Frosty you here?!"

I saw my familiar blue haired friend poke his head out from behind the counter but instead of his usual cheery smile it was replaced with depression and sadness. "You okay Frosty?"

"No....Every time I try to tell myself it wouldn't work out between Rainbow Dash and I, I get more depressed..." He then curled up into a ball of depression under his desk.

"Damn it Frosty get up....I'm going to get you a date. Sit here and attend to your customers whilst I go get your date," I sprinted out of the door and towards Fluttershy's cottage. After a few minutes of catching my breath I knocked on Fluttershy's door.

"I'm coming," I heard the quiet girl say, soon after her door opened and she looked happy to see me. 

"Fluttershy I have a favor to ask of you," She began intently listening as I explained to her Frost's depression. "And that is why I would like you to take Frosty on a date...I'm worried about him," after she had finished listening to my story she agreed to take Frost on a date. "Thank you Fluttershy, I'm in your debt!!"

I lead her to Frost's work and she saw the depression vortex known as Frost so I left to go do my own thing. "See ya Frosty,"

As I entered the door I was met with a hug from Luna. "Woah! What's going on, you seem overly excited to see me." I slowly but surely returned her hug,"

"We were bored being all alone, and we missed you," I smiled warmly to her.

"It's okay Luna I missed you too while I was gone. Are you hungry?" She nodded and blushed as her stomach growled at the word hungry. "Okay what would you like to eat I can make something here to eat or we can go buy something?"

"We wish to eat here," I laughed as my own stomach growled and we both went to the kitchen. "What would you like? A sandwich?" She nodded and I made both of us PB&J sandwiches and she took a cup of water as I took an apple juice box. "So Luna what did you do while I was gone?" 

"We played video games as thou suggested, We also slept, and took a show-" I took this opportunity to cut her off.

"I think that is detailed enough," we both laughed and finished our meal in silence. When we had finished and I had washed the dishes Luna challenged me to a round of super smash brothers and won for obvious reasons.

"So Luna I would like a heads up. Can I sleep peacefully tonight or are you going to send your 'Minions' after me," She thought long about an answer to get under my skin.

"That is for us to know and for thou to find out," She was thoroughly pleased with my cold stare and gave an innocent smile.

"Luna if you plan on sending those six devils after me at least make it easy on me and try not to break my stuff," She giggled.

"No promises Jack," My face went from smiling to a deadpan expression. I quickly thought of a retort but I was having a hard time coming up with one so I just said whatever was on my mind.

"If you break my locks, you are paying for them," I knew this petty excuse for a threat was nothing to the princess of the night but I had to try. After all it's better to try and fail than to never try at all. She giggled at this threat and gave me a big hug almost suffocating me for the second time today. 'Luna is going to be the death of me,' I tried to speak but the only thing that came out of my mouth was jibberish and after a few seconds Luna let me go.

"Jack it's cute when thou comes up with petty threats," This caused me to give up and stop trying to fight against the princess of the night.

"Fine you win princess, I give up. It's like arguing with a brick wall when arguing against you," My mind wandered to how Frost was faring in his date with Fluttershy but currently I had more pressing issues so I turned and headed to my room and made sure nothing was sabotaged. "Oh thank Celestia everything is okay,"

"Hey Luna, How long do you think Celestia is going to be mad at you?" I asked as I walked out to the front room to see Luna sprawled out on my couch pretending to be asleep. "You shouldn't leave yourself so vulnerable." I launched my first of many tickle barrages only to make Luna squirm and giggle. "The only way you're going to get out is if you surrender!" I began to tickle more.

"We surrender!!!! We surrender!!!" I stopped my barrage of tickling and she calmed down. "Don't do that again Jack, or the consequences will be dire..." She gave me an icy glare that could turn even Medusa to stone. I could feel her eyes burning at my soul. 

"You got it Luna. Don't tickle you unless I want to be raped by three of our six resident celebrities. I'll keep that in mind." I gave her a smile and I sat on the recliner chair. "So, what do you want to do because I'm out of ideas and I'm bored out of my mind, metaphorically of course,"

She got a devilish grin and scooted to the end of the couch closest to me. "We could go play a prank on Twilight Sparkle."

Immediately I stood up and opened the door with a minor flourish. "After you Milady." After I had locked my door we had made our way to town and to Twilight's library holding a small conversation on how we were going to prank Twilight and after a few ideas we decided that giving her poison joke would be the funniest. "This is going to be amazingly funny." I smiled and knocked on the door leaving the poison joke in a bouquet of blue hydrangeas. As expected Twilight opened the door and picked up the flowers smelling them. She saw Luna and I running. "JACK, LUNA!!!! THIS WASN'T FUNNY!" 

I yelled back. "I BEG TO DIFFER!!!" and not too long after Luna and I arrived at my front door slowing to a casual walk. "That was fun Luna but I think we should apologize some time in the future." We both nodded and headed inside seeing it was four o' clock. "Maybe I should go check on my equipment before anything happens, that is if anything happens," I checked on my monitors and door locks and Luna came into my room shutting both doors and sitting next to me. "Uhhh Luna...? What's going on?"

"Nothing Jack we just wish to cuddle next to you while you work," I looked a the doors confused and I get up examining the door.

"And about locking the doors?" I looked at the doors examining it as if looking at it would tell me the answers I wanted to know.

"Freedom is your incentive for cuddling with us," I shrugged and sat next to Luna continuing my work as she cuddled my right arm. She was fairly warm and for the most part she was cozy. I knew I had to break this soon or else I wouldn't be able to stop. So I quickened my analysis and finished within five minutes.

"Okay Luna my analysis has passed now I expect you to hold true to your word," I stood and walked to the door and waited patiently for her to undo the lock she had put on it. "Thank you Luna...If nothing happens tonight I might just cuddle with you," I gave her a wink and headed to the kitchen for an apple juice box "Mmm that's good apple juice,"

I sat on the couch and played some games and Luna had joined me and before I knew it, it was 11:55 pm and I shut off the game to stretch and head to my back room. The five minutes passed painstakingly slow but none the less nothing happened so I let Luna in to the room and I headed to the guest room. "Night Luna," as I passed her she spun on her heel.

"Thou didn't think we forgot what you said earlier did thou?" I smacked myself inwardly for forgetting what I said earlier and so I made my way to the guest room and I opened the blinds. Luna looked at me questioningly.

"I thought we could look at the stars as we cuddled," I smiled sheepishly as I grabbed my pajamas and headed to the bathroom to go change. Five minutes later I came back out and decided to lay down on the bed as Luna joined me after putting her own pajamas on. "Ready to cuddle?" She nodded at a speed almost matching Pinkie Pie. She laid down next to me and I cuddled with her until she fell asleep. "So cute..." as I tried to get up she tightened her grip on me giving a pouty face I decided to just lay back down and fall asleep and as my breathing regulated I fell into a deep sleep having an amazing dream that I would have liked to never end.
> Jack's depression
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

	I new this day was coming. It was only a matter of time before Luna had to go back to Canterlot. It wasn't a surprise or anything it's just that the one person I opened up to the most had to leave. 'Maybe I should just shut myself off from the rest of Equestria......Yeah that sounds good there is no reason to be around Ponyville anymore......Maybe my mom will take me home if I stop sending letters to her....I wouldn't mind though Frosty can help the girls over it.' I was pulled back to reality by Luna snapping her fingers. "Equestria to Jack, come in Jack." I put on a fake smile hoping that Luna would fall for the charade and it seemed to work.

"That's my running gag Luna, get your own. Also good luck with Celestia," I waved goodbye to her as I closed the door and slumped to the ground with my back to it. "I'm not going to open up to anyone anymore....I tried once and failed miserably. heh...Better to try and fail than not try at all...My ass," about an hour later I managed to close all blinds, lock all doors with their cheap locks that anyone could kick open, shut off all the lights, and curl up into a ball on the couch staring at the floor in my dark home. Then I heard a knock on the door, by the way the knocking was firm yet quick I could tell it was Frost.

"Jack open up. I want to tell you about my date with Fluttershy," He sounded like he had gotten over his depression. and he was doing just fine so I answered him in the most normal tone I could manage.

"Glad to see you're okay Frosty, maybe you should let Razer know he was worried about you too. after you tell him come tell me," I went back to my reclusive state and shut up not making any noise whatsoever except for the sound of my light breathing. The sound of wings flapping could be heard I could tell Frost just used his wings to fly off. As the minutes went by I got drug further and further into my hole of depression and it was getting harder and harder to try and climb out until I had given up completely and let myself fall into the metaphorical hole.

A few hours of sitting there pondering what I should do passed by and I heard another knock at my door and I heard the familiar tone of Twilight. "Jack, I want you to apologize this instant, that poison joke gag wasn't funny."

"You're right Twilight, I apologize and I assume Luna does to but she went off to Canterlot so if you want to ask her send a letter is all she told me. Now please go away, I need to be alone for a while," I assumed she understood because I heard her teleport away to some location unknown to me but I didn't care all I knew was that in order for me to protect myself from what happened I need to push everyone away. So I did so for the next five days until they all got fed up with it.

"Jack I'm kicking the door down whether you like it or not," Frost had taken a step back and kicked the door causing me to cringe at the noise a couple more kicks and the door had open as it did came seven worried people and a flood of light but other than squinting from the light I stayed as I was. I had lost a few pounds from not eating although I did drink water and juice but that was about it. Twilight was the first to approach me and the first to notice my symptoms of depression. She tried to extend a hand to me but I shot everyone a glare that could kill and I returned to ignoring them. Frost, however, stepped up and punched me square in the jaw causing me to fall to the floor. As I got up Frost began insulting me.

"Don't be a bitch Jack, fight back!" I took another punch to the face and another but the fourth one I caught, finally fed up with Frost, and I twisted his hand behind his back and shoved him

"Go away. Pretend I never existed, whatever floats your boat just don't interact with me in any way shape or form," This fired up Frost and caused him to throw to punches at my chest and I heard one of my ribs break. He stood and waited for me to get back up to retaliate the blow. When I stood up he tried to punch my chest again but this time I punched under his arm causing it to fall limp and he began to insult me again.

"Fine, lay there and wallow like the swine you are, but know that wallowing will only make it worse. These six ladies are worried about you. I don't know about you but I would be grateful to have six stunning ladies worried about me. Yet all you want to do is wallow and mope around like a lame duck. Well to that sir I say that I have no friend named Jack." Those last words stung worse than any bruise or cut as he left and I just fell back over the adrenaline from the fight wearing off and the pain was indescribable. The last act of kindness Frost did for me was help the girls take me to the hospital after that I never saw or heard word from Frost. Then one by one each of the girls left as the days went by and all that remained was Pinkie and I but eventually she realized that not even she couldn't get though to me.

After I had recovered I went home and locked myself in again but this time I barricaded the doors and sat on the floor. "Maybe suicide is the best option. No one would miss me since they all abandoned me," I walked into town thinking that I would be showing my face around for the last time everyone looked so cheery and happy as I was miserable but I went back home and laid in bed as a familiar arm wrapped around me. "Go back to Canterlot Luna my depression is contagious...I've scared everyone off...even Pinkie." I stood up only to be met with a slap across the face. 

"JACK WALKER!! THOU HAST WALLOWED LONG ENOUGH!! WE GROW WEARY OF THY PETTY DEPRESSION!" I wasn't sure what phased me more the slap or the Canterlot voice but I just walked past her and to the living room and I punched a hole in the wall. My hand began bleeding but I ignored my body's screams of pain and kept punching until Luna stopped me. "Jack we are sorry that we used the Canterlot voice on thou, but thou needs to crawl out of thy depression," I finally realized that Luna wasn't harming me out of pleasure but because she was worried all of them were Frost beat me senseless to prove that my depression was blinding my judgement. I hugged Luna.

"Thank you for showing me the error of my ways Luna. If only I had learned it from Frost," I looked downcast. "Maybe I might have not lost seven friends."

"Who said thou hath lost thy friends?" All of my friends, with the exception of Razer and Rainbow Dash both of which were currently in Manehattan together, came in through the door and I looked at them sheepishly.

"I'm sorry that I had pushed you all away...Luna's departure left me devastated. I hope that in the future, Hoping this never happens again, that I can rely on you all for comfort and help." They all crowded around me in a group hug and I felt super cheesy for what was happening but I didn't care all I knew was my worst fears had not come true, had they come true I wouldn't be alive and Luna plus Frost, Twilight, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Apple Jack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Razer would hate my soul. Luckily none of that happened. Even if life isn't all sunshine and daisies. It seemed as if Frost didn't want to see me so he left after he knew I was fine.

"Luna...Why did you come back. I thought you had more important matters to deal with," She gave me a look of amusement and opened her mouth to say something but quickly shut it leaving me to ponder what she was going to say.

When she had turned to leave she gave me a look of worry and I began to realize why she came back. Someone had let her know I was falling to depression and I had yet to find out whom told her if I was to figure it out at all. The thought of Luna being there for me was comforting even if I had been depressed just a few minutes ago. I spoke up to them all. "I...I would like a few minutes alone...For multiple reasons but the main one being that I need to think..." They all nodded and all of them, one by one, left my house all but Luna. "Luna...I would li-" This time she cut me off. 

"No Jack, we staying here until thou apologizes and makes up with Frost Nightwing," She gave me a stare that felt like daggers and I knew she meant it so I recollected my thoughts and I changed my clothes following Luna to Frost's work and she waited outside as I made up with Frost.

"Frosty....I would like to apologize for my childish actions earlier and I hope we can continue being friends," I extended my hand to shake Frost's. He reached out hesitantly but finally took mine and we shook hands and I exited to see Luna. "The deed is done," she smiled at me and followed me home.

"Isn't there some a nightmare night you need to be planning?" she shook her head.

"Nope we have already planned the nightmare night and so our sister gave us a small vacation. We thought we would spend it with you," she beamed at me and sat on the couch and gave me a look as if to challenge me. As we played she had beat me at all of the games and I made note to compliment her about it when we finished. A few hours passed and we played everything ranging from Super Mario Bros to Halo. 

"Geez Luna, Give me a chance. You only get better and better every time we play," She gave an innocent smile that caused me to laugh. "I'm gonna go get ready for bed you can have my room, good night Luna." I went to the guest room and changed into my pajamas, laying down to go to sleep. Thirty minutes later Luna came in to the guest room. "Did you need something Luna?"

"We can't sleep without our pillow, and by pillow we mean thou," She crawled up and laid next to me after closing the door not giving me a chance to protest. Not that I would but I just returned the cuddle with her savoring the moment with her as we fell asleep in each others arms.
> The nightmares return.
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

	I had slept soundly until I woke up to nature's call slipping out of Luna's grasp I went to the bathroom took a shower, brushed my hair and teeth like I did every day around seven in the morning, but then I got out after getting dressed I saw an annoyed Luna and I knew this wasn't going to be good. "Good morning Luna," all she did was ignore me and push past me as I went to the front room. I sat there for a few minutes and waited for Luna to come out and she finally did but she still ignored me. "Oh this isn't good..." I called Frost and told him that I wouldn't be showing up in town for a while.

"Luna, what did I do wrong...? I would at least like to know what I'm being ignored for," sensing that this was a reasonable request Luna finally decided to answer me.

"When thou had woken up we had waited for a 'good morning' kiss to the cheek as repayment for helping thou yesterday but no such kiss came," I knew I was in for a world of hurt and I braced for a slap but she said something that hurt worse. "Thou had better not sleep tonight, for thou shall pay the consequences," Even though this sounded sexy as hell I knew what she meant.

"Luna, Please, don't do anything rash and unreasonable. Think of my virginity here! I would at least like to be married before I lose it!!!" She completely disregarded my protests and continued. 

"Tonight thou shall feel the wrath of the princess of the night," This caused my heart to sink into my stomach. I had went to town to stock up on energy drinks pre-made sandwiches, and of course apple juice. When I got home I stuffed the articles into my mini fridge in my room so I could stash a lot of food and energy drinks with me. 

"Just for the record Luna I'm sorry," I gave her a hug and she pushed me away leaving me to prepare for the night. "I'm royally fucked...." I sprinted to the front room to turn on all the cameras. When I had finished I ran to the back room with a half eaten sandwich in my mouth and turned on the monitors. "Please, please, please, please work!" and just then the monitors turned on and I slumped in my chair from my near heart attack. "That was close..." I sat in the back room finishing off the meager sandwich I called breakfast and waited for nightfall to come upon me so I decided to sleep and get some energy. When I woke up it was 10:36 pm still an hour and a half before my worst nightmares came true.

I saw Luna exiting the guest room as if she had just woken up. "Luna please reconsider what you're doing!!!! I beg of you!!!" she turned and shrugged me off, ignoring my presence. "Damn it....." I walked back to my room and slumped in the chair, staring at the ceiling and before I knew it my 12:00 am alarm went off on my watch and I sat there staring at the screens intently. For thirty minutes straight nothing happens until I see a purple mane on my screen facing the kitchen and I peek out to the hall. "Oh it's only twilight for a second I thought it was-" as I lean back in and turn to face the other way I scream almost high pitched enough to match sweetie belle. "RARITY!" She stares into my eyes with lust. "Rarity...Think about what you're doing! What if sweetie belle finds out?! Her childhood would be ruined!!" I scramble about as Rarity watches me and I make it to the door. "See ya!" I turn to run and I bump into Twilight Sparkle and fall to my ass. "Ouch....That hurt," I look up to see both Rarity and Twilight Sparkle blushing wildly as, what I can only assume is, they are thinking about all the things they are going to do to me. I begin to crawl back to the wall and once I hit the wall I my hopes of this hallway going on forever are crushed.

"Jack, resistance is futile. Statistically we've already won. Just give up, your precious Luna can't save you now," They begin to close in the distance as I stand up and push myself into the wall.

"Help..." I manage to squeak out as Pinkie comes crashing in and knocks over both Twilight and Rarity. "THANKS PINKIE!" I sprint out of the house that is until Rarity grabs my ankle and yanks backward causing me to fall face first and knock the wind out of myself. As I lay there gasping for air Pinkie, Rarity, and Twilight take this opportunity to surround me. I manage to take in a breath of sweet oxygen and I mutter something under my breath.

"What was that Jack, darling, I couldn't hear you." She leans in and I kiss her cheek along with Pinkie's and Twilight's.

"I said never surround your prey. It might get desperate," I sprint out of my house and the three girls follow me pretty damn closely and Pinkie starts to pick up speed until she finally tackles me. I lay there on the ground accepting the fact that I'm no longer going to be a pure soul and that I'm going to lose my virginity. Twilight is the first to plant a kiss on my cheek and roll me over as Pinkie and Rarity help her. I sit up and just allow them to have their way with me. It mostly consisted of kissing, grinding, and the occasional grope, Other than that nothing more happened. That was until Pinkie stuffed my face in her breasts, even though her shirt was there it still felt as if she weren't wearing one.

"Do you like my sweet mounds, Jackie?" I muffle a response but she only stuffs my face farther and my oxygen supply is cut off and she holds me there until I pass out my last thought being, 'I need air,'

When I woke up in the morning my first reaction before I opened my eyes was to make sure my heart was beating, sure enough it was. My next thought was to move each of my limbs one by one. I began to freak out when I couldn't move my arms or legs so my eyes shot open to see Luna on top of me, Twilight clinging to my left arm, Pinkie on my legs, and Rarity clinging onto my right arm all of which I assumed were sleeping so I just laid there waiting for all of them to move and I kissed Luna's cheek as a precautionary measure and I whispered. "Good morning Luna,"

When my phone started ringing I pried my arm free from Rarity and grabbed my phone from my pocket and answered in a hushed tone. "Hello?"

"Jack, did you have a great night last night? I sure did, you never told me Fluttershy was great in bed," I instantly recognized the voice. and internally facepalmed.

"Frosty....I don't need to know your nightly habits with Fluttershy. Keep that between yourself and her....But right now I'm in a bit of a predicament....I have Luna sleeping on top of me, Twilight cuddling with my left arm, Pinkie sleeping on my legs, and thankfully I pried my right arm free from Rarity," Frost laughed at me.

"Geez Jack, always the lady killer huh? Save some for the rest of the guys in Ponyville," I almost blew up on Frost.

"This wasn't consensual I woke up like this after being suffocated by Pinkie's breasts." I knew I was going to regret saying that when Frost came up with a response.

"So how were they?"

"Well aside from being suffocated by them, surprisingly soft," I looked around to see where I was and I saw it was Twilight's library

"Well Fluttershy just woke up so I'm gonna go, see ya Jack," 

"See ya Frosty," I heard a click and I put the phone back in my pocket and Rarity grabbed my arm again. "Please wake up soon...I want to get home and take a shower..." I waited for another twenty minutes for the girls to wake up and they all blushed, all aside from Luna whom looked quite jealous. I waited for them to all get off of me. "I'm sorry we all had to wake up this way but I guess what happened last night was what you wanted, now if you will excuse me I have a shower to be taking at home, and with that I left the house Luna close behind me.

After my shower Luna pulled me onto the couch and began cuddling with me. "Someone a bit jealous that they had to share me this morning?" Luna nodded and cuddled me harder if at all possible without being discomforting and we just sat there for a few hours and she finally had to get up. "What would you like for dinner Luna?"

"We would like to go to a restaurant for dinner. Would thou like to accompany us?" I smiled and retorted.

"How could I refuse a date with the princess of the night?" This caused us to laugh, it still felt great to laugh. I decided to change my clothes into more suitable ones for our night out since Luna wanted to go out I assumed somewhere fancy and I was correct we went to one of our favorite restaurants so i prepared to take the bill afterward. As we were seated I sat across from Luna whom had decided to move next to me and lay on my shoulder. We saw two young children having a dinner next to us and I chuckled seeing the young male sweating bullets and I decided to throw a paper airplane of advice at him. Hey by the way she is staring at you dreamily, I would say that she is totally into you, try and loosen up she looks like she wouldn't care either way.

He visibly loosened up and smiled back at her and I chuckled more. "Aaaahhhh young love," Luna looked up at me expectantly as she saw the boy give the girl a kiss on the cheek as they made their way out of the building. "Oh fine Luna, but just know that it isn't good to spoil yourself too much," I leaned in to give her a kiss on the cheek but she instantly turned her head to face mine and got a kiss not a full blown make out session but a sweet kiss to the lips. She savored this small victory and finally pulled back.

"We didn't know that thou were such a great kisser or we would have tried this earlier," I sat in shock knowing I just gave the princess of the night my first kiss. Little did I know this was part of her plan to win a bet with the other girls but two had dropped out seeing as how they had found boyfriends, Fluttershy had Frost, and Razer had Rainbow Dash.'I must say romance has a way of putting the two most compatible people together but I don't see how Luna and I are compatible, she is an alicorn and I'm just me....I'm pretty sure someone of the upper class would be more suited for her tastes. Well maybe I'm looking too far into this.' We finished our dinner in silence but it wasn't an awkward silence it was a companionable one.
> Not so lucky
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

After we had finished our dinner, and with a motion so quick I paid the bill, I held the door open for Luna. I still had not spoken a word since our kiss. 'Not the way I imagined, but hey maybe she was going to say something I don't know how females work,' Luna was speaking and I had snapped out of my trance. "What was that Luna? I'm sorry I was in my own little world for a minute there. Would you mind saying that one more time?" She nodded and spoke again.

"We were wondering if thou were willing to put thy gaming skills to use in a bet," She smiled that misleadingly innocent smile, I reluctantly agreed knowing that even if I tried to avoid it Luna would find a way to get me to place the bet with her. I decided that it was better to get it done and over with now, rather than later. As soon as Luna and I got home she jumped on the couch and turned on the system waiting for me to sit next to her.

"So if you win what do you get?" I knew she was up to something and I didn't like it. When ever she got these bright ideas they never end up going in my favor. I knew she had some trick up her metaphorical sleeve to pull on me and win the competition.

"We want thou to be our loyal servant for three hours starting when I win," I could not let this happen out of all the degrading humiliating things that Luna has done to me this will not happen.

"And if I win I want you to answer the few questions I have for you," She nodded in agreement after a few seconds and I tuned to face the T.V. this time she was in my element and nothing would stop me from winning, Soulcalibur 5, I had spent mindless hours in this game learning all of yoshimitsu's combos and attacks and even all his special moves. This had better pay off. We had both agreed on the first to score three out of five wins, gets their bet. After twenty minutes, various name calling, and many close calls I had won. "Don't feel bad Luna, I have poured over three hundred mindless hours into perfecting my character I have too much free time on my hands nowadays. Now the first question I have for you is why did you show up at my house....I was fine with my routine schedule of sleeping in the day and surviving by night,"

"We came to thy home because we saw what all of those nights 'surviving' was causing thou. Thou had begun pushing away any offer of help from anyone else, even Frost, thy best friend. We couldn't let this go on any longer. That night when we showed up at thy house we were there to stop all the madness but we can still resume it at command and when it starts, it cannot stop until the next morning,"

"Okay second question, Why are you having me take you on dates? I'm more than positive that there are nobles waiting in line for your hand in marriage. I mean I may be looking too far into this but it seems like you are trying to get closer and closer to me every day," by this point Luna knew she had been caught and she decided it was time to come clean.

"We did not want the mundane life cycle we had back in Canterlot and we also did not want to marry some noble because our sister wanted us to, Twilight Sparkle had once shown us a book. One containing a love story and we wanted a love that was as comedic and eventful as the one in the story," I smiled happy with the answers I had received and I spoke up.

"Luna if you wanted an eventful relationship I'm the last person to be on that list I sit at home all day and play games, with the occasional venture into town to get food and supplies. If anything Frost should have been top on that list he is he whole shebang. He has a job that requires him to go outside he actually goes into the Everfree forest to admire nature now with Fluttershy at his side, and he cooks, none of those things I do. I mean I have a job but i only have to go online and test games and develop them. I usually do it when you're out of the house doing your thing mainly shopping." I smiled and rested a hand on her shoulder. "Luna, I'm the last person you should be looking for in a relationship. You need someone who is as energetic as you someone with aspirations like yours. Then and only then will you find true happiness," I saw that she had tears in her eyes and I began to wipe them. "Luna, don't cry I only mean for you to be happy, even if that means I have to give up seeing daylight I will still remember the time we had by looking at the stars,"

"No! We do not want to see thou alone again. thou seems so happy with us. We do not want thou to be sad," I smile and ruffle up her hair a bit.

"You don't need to worry about me your happiness is the more important. I will be fine, just don't for-" She had been getting sadder and sadder with each word I spoke.

"No Jack, we can both be happy together thou doesn't need to make a sacrifice for everything," I shook my head as tears were beginning to form in my eyes and I pulled her into a hug knowing that it wouldn't make this situation any better and I spoke in a soft voice.

"Luna...You know I have enjoyed our time together but I want you to be happier, I want you to be able to achieve your dreams, and I want you to know that you deserve better than me. I would appreciate it if you kept our memories, but I understand if you want to forget our memories then that is fine," I smile, pull away, and kiss Luna's forehead. "You may be sad now but something tells me that in the near future you will be happier than ever before," She shook her head

"Jack we do not want to leave, we wish to stay and never leave," I smile and cover my face down to my nose with my hair as a sad smile creeps upon my face and a few tears drip down my cheek and to the floor. I swear I could feel time slow down as my tear fell to the floor and I ruffled Luna's hair once more, only this time it was slow and rhythmic. She smiled thinking that she had won but I pull my hand away and turn away.

"Luna, I want to help you become happy but I will bring nothing but sadness and pain. You need someone more energetic and adventurous than I. This means that I will return to the once reclusive state I was in but I want you to wipe all the memories of anyone who knew I was here. I'm moving to Manehattan, and I want you to make sure that every last memory of me being here is wiped from existence with the exception of mine, and if you would like to keep them, yours too. I'm sorry Luna...This is the way it has to be,"

"No Jack! It doesn't have to be this way..." Her tears had resumed streaming down her face further proving my point that I would only bring sadness and that she needed someone better. Noting that I could never return here I began packing my stuff as Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rarity, and Twilight all came in to the door to see me walking down the hall and an angry Luna with tears still streaming down her face. After thirty minutes or so of packing my stuff I returned to the living room carrying a few boxes with me and Pinkie spoke up.

"Where's Jack going?" That sad tone, and the way her hair deflated almost convinced me stay but knowing that I would only cause pain to them made me press on to take the boxes outside only to have a teal aura surround me and throw me into a wall twice.

I gasped in shock as I hit the wall and regained my composure after having the wind knocked out of me. "I...I get it...I'm...Leaving," I picked up all my scattered things and put the boxes outside. "One of us had to come to terms with this....I'm sorry it had to be me." I went back to the now empty room aside from the bed that was left there and a stack of boxes lining one wall. On my way down the hallway with a box full of computer monitors I was stopped by Luna standing in the way. "Luna....I understand that you don't want me to go but I'm not boyfriend material. I can't cook to save my life, I sit inside all day aside to get some sustenance such as food, drinks and other daily necessities, and to top that I am causing you to cry and me staying here will only cause you to cry more. The world may feel like it is crashing and it isn't worth living but know that you will find your special someone," I began to sidestep only for Luna to sidestep with me. "Luna, I don't have time for these childish games the movers will be here in a half an hour.

She smiled. "And what a shame if thou were to miss them. Then thou would have to stay," I had finally caused her to mentally snap...This wasn't good. Not at all what I thought was going to happen. "Applejack, Would thou kindly retrieve Jack's box from outside. I plan on convincing him to stay." The familiar teal aura surrounded me and carefully set the box on the ground as Applejack went to go get my box. "Jack, how could thou even think of leaving us....After all we've been through..." Tears began to form again. "We even shared out first kiss with thou...A gift we can never get back...We thought it would be enough to keep though from leaving....Apparently not, What more do you want from us Jack!! How can we earn your love!!"

"It isn't a matter of whether or not you can win my love. It is the fact that I'm not worthy to be in your presence at any given period in time. To put it shortly I'm not worthy of your love. I never was." I close my eyes and prepare for another impact with the wall but I was met with something more soft. I cautiously open my eyes to see Luna kissing me. Not a sight I expected to see. She looked as if she were going to have a mental breakdown if I pushed her away so I accepted it for now.

"Please stay Jack....We need you, All of us do."
> The freedom Jack wanted
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

	I look at all the girls pouting at me and I finally crack. "Fine, I will stay. On one condition. That condition being that you will actively try to find a suitor willing to marry you. If you can not find one then I will stay for good, but you must promise me you will try or I will leave here and now," I turn from Luna and face the other girls present. "No exceptions, All of you must find a suitor and if you get really desperate I hear Frost is looking to form a herd," I knew this was a complete lie but I decided to mess with Frost. The last thing I expected to happen all of the girls including Luna blushed at the mention of the word 'herd' honestly it confused me but I brushed it off as something I would dig deeper into later.

After they all promised me and I was satisfied with their answers I unpacked my things and set them back up once again the house was filled with my belongings the problem is I was missing one of my favorite shirts. I had bought it at the first party I've ever been to. It was an interesting party and I almost drank also it's the shirt I got my first girlfriend in but that's beside the point. All I know is that the shirt that has much sentimental value to me is now missing. Little did I know that I wasn't going to see that shirt for another three months. 'I swear I saw Luna stuff something up her shirt but I think it was more of an itch. I had better not question it.' After I set up my monitors and everything I made sure the cameras were working. Better to have and not need than need and not have. "Jack ah've been meaning to ask ya. What are all the cameras for?"

"Well AJ ever since you asked Luna, over there, to manifest your feelings for me you've all been trying to take my virginity....Relentlessly. Henceforth the need for cameras you all sneak into my house in one form or another and try to get me to give you my virginity. It will not happen....Ever. Also speaking of these cameras has got me thinking. Why me.....?" All of the girls with the exception of Luna blushed a deep red. "Perhaps later?" they all nodded and I turned way. "Well whatever the reason you might want to set your eyes elsewhere. There are many young guys for you all. I'm not one of them nor do I want a herd....It's too much to deal with...Having to give each of you a turn to drag me around town...I have better things to do like now I'm going to bed Luna choose where you sleep I'm sleeping in my room," I walked to the back of the hall and shut both doors after Luna went to the guest room. "I must admit...I miss cuddling with Luna...." I was right I missed Luna's gentle embrace around me to comfort me but I will have to get used to sleeping alone again. Not something surprising.

As I had gotten comfortable I heard a knock on the left door and I got up thinking that it was unnatural for someone to knock instead of yelling at me to open the door so I open the door. "Hello Jack, ah'm not on good terms with big mac right now and so I left. Ah was wondering if I could stay here for a couple of days," At first I was skeptical of letting her stay and yet I still decided to give her the benefit of the doubt.

"Sure Applejack, I guess you could stay. I don't have any room here so you can have my room I'll just go sleep on the couch. Have a nice sleep," She looked a bit bothered and she grabbed the back of my shirt. "Yes?"

"Ah usually cuddle with Apple bloom when Ah sleep," She was looking like she wanted something so I offered something.

"Did you want me to go get her I mean it's not even a mile away and I'm sure I could jog there and back within 25 minutes," She shook her head and tugged my shirt backward. She was significantly stronger when she was awake so I had to hold onto the door to keep myself from flying across the room and in the process I lost my shirt luckily it was snap button up so I stand up and grab a pair of pajamas. "What...Did you want me to stay here?" Applejack nods blushing lightly. "Alright then....Just don't kill me...I'm only kidding," I walk to the bathroom and get dressed in the bathroom and I head back to the room. "Ready for bed Applejack?"

"Yes. I am," I smile at her and she pulls me into a tight hug and we both fall onto the bed. She readjusts herself so she is staring into my eyes and I roll onto my back and she kisses my cheek. "Thank ya, Jack," I smile and roll back over to snuggle with her. "Good night, Jack,"

"Good night, Applejack," I close my eyes and come close to fall asleep but I feel Applejack stir and I open my eyes to see her staring at me. "Uhhhh....How long have you been watching me?"

"Almost an hour. Did ya know that ya look peaceful when you're asleep?" I smile and shake my head.

"Maybe you should get some sleep,"  She giggles lightly, I could have sworn that's the first time I've seen her act like a girly girl. Not that there was anything wrong with it but I assumed she just wanted to have a pleasant conversation, a repartee if you will, and quite frankly I wanted one too.

"Hey, Jack?"

"Yeah?"

"What made you want to come to Ponyville?"

I smile at her question. "Well, I guess it started when I wanted to move out of my mom's home after I graduated school. To be honest she encouraged it, but she also wanted me to stay. I was looking for a place to live and I found a place in Manehattan. When my mom asked me where I wanted to move I was confident in moving to Manehattan so I went to reply her but all that came out was Ponyville, it stupefied me to any and every extent but I decided to go through with it. When you saw me moving in is when my story with all you began so yeah. How about you?" She explained to me her back story and I listened to her. These little conversations were nice and I wish that they would last longer but I am a boring person so they don't last long.

"So you actually enjoy my company?" She nodded and kissed my cheek.

"We all do. Rarity, Pinkie, Twilight, Luna and ah."  I smile and I kiss her nose. A light blush began to form on her cheeks, honestly it was cute. She was stunningly attractive when she was like this and, I'm not going to lie, I liked it. For an amount of time that I had lost count of Applejack and I just shared this intimate moment. This moment went on for what seemed like an eternity and I enjoyed it for every single second of it. "Ah wish we could stay like this for ever Jack," she yawns. "Maybe we can continue tomorrow but for now we need to sleep or we will not get up early enough," Disheartened I agree reluctantly.

"Fine, I guess we should go to sleep good night, Applejack," But by this time she had already fallen asleep so I follow suit and go to sleep.

When I wake up I find myself tied in a chair with Luna and Applejack staring at me. "Uhhhhh why am I bound in a chair like this? It seems unnatural." Luna and Applejack stare at me smiling "Please let me go. I need to go to the bathroom." They shake their heads and don't take their eyes off of me. "I don't like this sadistic side of you both please don't do anything drastic," I cower as I can see them inching closer and at that instant Pinkie and Twilight, quite literally, flashed in and Pinkie untied me.

"Come on, Jack! We have cupcakes to be baking!!! You promised!!!!" I am a man of my word so I agreed to go with her.When we arrived at the bakery I noticed that the air didn't smell too much like sugar. It was more of a lit aromatherapy candle, I enjoyed it while Pinkie drug me into the kitchen. Honestly I assume this is much better than what Applejack and Luna were going to do to me.

"Alright Pinkie, What do you need me to do?" She pointed to a mixing bowl and explained how to make batter as she was making frosting, so I went straight to work. Pinkie was constantly checking over my shoulder to make sure that I was doing it correctly. For the most part it all went without incident aside from when Pinkie spilled frosting on her shirt. "Pinkie!!! Don't take your shirt off in front of me!!!!! Do that in your room!!!!" Averting that crisis I felt a little better after the cupcakes came out. They didn't look like complete and utter failure but as soon as I tasted it I closed my eyes and savored the flavor. When I opened my eyes I was met with a pair of sapphire ones.

"How was it Jack? Was it amazing?" I simply nodded with a little bit of frosting on my cheek. Pinkie noticed her opportunity and took it. She leaned in and licked the frosting off of my cheek then kissed it, I've never felt anything so erotic before. Standing up I looked at my wrist watch and noticed i was going to be late for the mail.

"Pinkie, I have to go it's two in the afternoon," She visibly deflated because she was having a grand time and so I cupped a hand under her chin and met her eyes with mine. "It's okay Pinkie. Maybe this weekend, when the store isn't so busy, we can have a sleepover at my house," She returned to her bubbly self  and nodded furiously. I smile and lean in to kiss her forehead. When my lips make contact with her forehead she seems to enjoy every single moment of it and she gets a light blush.

Little did I know that Razer's younger brother had eyes for her. When I left I gave Razer's little brother, Ryan, a nod when I got not even ten feet from the door I heard a squeal of joy. Knowing what happened I wouldn't be seeing Pinks during the nightly raids, I knew, also, that I wouldn't be having a sleepover with Pinkie. Silently I congratulated Ryan and continued on to my house.

When I arrived home I received a letter that stated Rarity had found a boyfriend named Lightning. That was another terror off of my back. All that was left was Applejack, Twilight, and Luna. Luna would be the hardest to let go but I would get over it. After all she is royalty and I'm just me.

I went to my room and shut myself in to think and sit alone in the dark. I knew I was destined to be alone, I spent my school life alone, I wasn't one to make friends easily. I had a hard time even trusting Razer and Frost to not backstab me in the long run. I was brought to reality by a faint knock on the right door so I opened it and was met with Luna. "Jack, we came to tell thou that we have found a suitor, and that we will no longer be staying here. This is goodbye," I hugged her with tears that had been falling since we began this conversation.

"I'm happy for you and I wish you a plentiful and prosperous lifetime. Please feel free to erase all your memories of me as well as Pinkie's, Rarity's, Fluttershy's, and Rainbow's. Only after you leave. Don't erase your memories first wait until the other two have found boyfriends to erase their memories then finally remove yours, this is my last request as your friend," She nods and I release her giving her a formal salute from our favorite game. "Goodbye, Luna. I will miss you now and forever,"

A few of her own tears fall as she teleports away. I knew that by now she was with her suitor and erasing the memories. Soon I would be just another face in the crowd. I calmed down and regulated my breathing. Soon after I shut myself in my room and fell asleep. I had a nightmare.

Running through the Everfree forest I felt the heavy rainfall from the storm with the occasional thunderbolt, and my pursuer getting closer with every stride. I had reached a clearing and got a good look at my foe. A manticore, the most feared beast of them all, part lion, part scorpion, part bat, but 100% killing machine. It was the last thing I wanted to see so I turned and ran again. Fear and adrenaline was keeping me sprinting or else I would have died by now. I felt the manticore's hungry gaze pierce into my soul as a predator has a tendency to do. I ran into a cliff and I tried to scramble up it but to no avail. "NO NOT LIKE THIS!!! COME ON CLIMB DAMN IT!!!!" I gave up after a few futile attempts and turned to face the manticore and it inched closer to me. I knew it was all over "Well....This is how it all ends, Jack Walker will be ended by the most feared beast in Equestria, the manticore," I had nowhere to run. As the manticore stalked up to me I felt a sharp pain in my chest and saw the scorpion tail had stabbed into my chest. Blood was pouring out of my gaping wound soon a puddle of blood was forming around me and I was also losing blood fast. The last thing I saw was the manticore ripping out my internal organs, playing with them as if they were toys then a haze of red, and finally pitch black.

I woke up gasping for air and I checked my vital signs to make sure I was alive. It felt so real I felt every single moment of terror and the pain felt so real. Almost as if it had just happened but I knew it was a nightmare so I got up and faced the day getting dressed and eating a single piece of toast. When I left my house I knew it was going to be sunny all day so I made my way to a cafe for a coffee. When I got there I was met with Twilight whom brightened up at the sight of me. It looked as if she actually enjoyed my company so I sat across from her. "Jack I have great news! I met this great guy and he asked me out on a date later today!" I smile.

"That's great have you told Celestia or Luna yet?" She shook her head. "Maybe that would be a good idea," She agreed with me and went to her library leaving me alone to think.

After a couple hours of thinking and self reflecting I got up and left to the market I needed apples and I knew Applejack would be there. "Hey Applejack I would like to buy some apples," She nods and hands me a bag full. I pay her for the apples and a few bits extra.

"Jack, there is more than enough bits here," I smile and think of something to say.

"I have a feeling you will need it for your special someone," With that I go home and leave the farm girl to squee with joy. As soon as I get home I begin packing. "I hope Luna kept her word," I pack my boxes into the movers vans and close the door to the house that I will never see again. As I begin making my way to the train station I am stopped by a man whom I am not familiar with

"Give me the bag." He pulls out a knife and begins to get impatient with me. "GIVE ME THE BAG!" I begin to hand him the bag and he grabs and pushes me over. I kick his legs out from under him, this started a brawl between us. He had a distinct advantage over me and I knew it but I'm no push over so I got up as he did and threw a punch that connected with his head making a sickening crack. I broke his nose. This pissed the man off and he sliced at me catching my stomach making a long diagonal gash upon my abdomen. As much as this hurt the adrenaline kept me going so I tackled him and took his knife. As I took it I plunged the blade deep into the man's neck killing him. I got up and grabbed the bag, examining my cut I thought it wasn't so bad and I walked two steps before I collapsed. My vision was fading and I was getting cold. Uncontrollable shakes overtook me and within minutes death enveloped me.

The life of Jack Walker was a meaningful one but he did not get the girl, he did not get a happily ever after. He died as he lived. Alone. The loneliness was his only companion in his time of death. Although he may have had Frosty and Razer at the funeral. His only true companion and friend was Loneliness and death. Jack Walker was kind soul yet his kindness will be forgotten as per his request. He died with no one knowing who he was with the exception of his mother. She grieved for two years after he died. She is doing well now as an art director for young children. Every so often Jack's soul can be seen at his home in Ponyville, peering out the window yet no one knows who he is. No one knows he is dead. Jack Walker, to everyone in Ponyville, Has never existed.
