Book One Chapter One Enter the Four Brothers

"Chuan, Baygo, San you guys all right?" Hotaru asked his brothers as he picked himself off the ground.

"Yeah, I think so," Baygo said as he helped San to his feet.

"What in the names of Raava and Vaatu happened to us?" Chuan asked as he sat on the ground rubbing his head.

"I don't know, but I don't think we're in our own world or the spirit world," Hotaru said to his three brothers.

"Oh, you and just how do you know this mister smart guy?" Chuan said to Hotaru as he got to his feet.

"Simple, because I don't think our world, nor the spirit world has inhabitants like them," Hotaru said pointing to the large group of very shocked horse people staring at the four brothers.

Looking around Chuan chuckled." Okay, I see your point, so what do we do now?"

"I suggest we remain calm and not do anything to frighten them so they know we're friendly," Baygo said as he looked out at the faces of these strange but yet amazing creatures. As he looked he noticed that they had different physical traits. Some had horns on their heads while others were hovering off the ground with wings and then there were some the had neither.

The sound of metal clanking got the attention of the brothers as a large group of armored horse people made their way to them.

"Surrender, monsters you are under arrest for invading the town of Ponyville using dark magic and disturbing the peace." One horseman said as he raised his sword to the four while the other soldiers surrounded them pointing spears at them.

Raising his hands over his head Hotaru spoke in a calm voice. "We mean you no harm, we are just as surprised to be here as you are."

Gasps and hushed whispers could be heard from the crowd. Unfortunately, one soldier overreacted and plunged his spear at Hotaru before anyone could speak Baygo stepped in between them grasping the spear just below the tip holding it.

"I can understand that you're afraid, but as my brother said we mean you no harm, so please calm yourself before someone gets hurt," Baygo said as he released the spear allowing the soldier to step back still a little shaking from the experience.

"Corporal Lightfoot, you will stand down at once we are ordered to detain these creatures until the Princess arrives."The one with the sword called out. In fact, all of you stand down if they wanted to try something they would have done it already."

"Thank you..." Hotaru said, gesturing to the soldier with the sword.

"Captain Sentry, Flash Sentry," the Captain said, returning his sword to its scabbard.

"Then thank you again, Captain Sentry my brothers and I mean your people any harm," Hotaru said bowing to him.

"Ponies,"

"Excuse me?"

"We are ponies, not these peapods as you called us," Sentry said as he stepped closer to Hotaru.

"Forgive me and we would prefer to be called humans instead of creatures if that is possible," Hotaru said bowing once more.

"Did you say, humans?" A female voice called from the crowd.

The captain, as well as the four brothers, looked in the direction of the voice to see a lavender-colored pony make her way through the crowd.

Hotaru studied this new arrival, she wore clothes similar to that of a business person crossed with a librarian. What struck him was that she had wings as well as a horn.

"Make way for Princess Twilight Sparkle!"The captain yelled before kneeling as did all of the other soldiers.

"Flash I told you before, you and the guards don't have to bow to me." The Princess said in a mildly annoyed tone. "Besides, you can bow all you want when we're alone," She said in a whispered tone for Flash to only hear.

"Now did I hear you correctly are you really humans?" Twilight asked, turning to look at the four strangers who were all kneeling down in front of her respectfully. Huffing Twilight raised her hand to them." Please rise and I would like to formally welcome the four of you to the land of Equestria." She said with a big smile.

The four stood back up and looked at each other confused before Baygo spoke up. "Excuse me, your majesty, but did you say Equestria?"

"Yes I did and I'm a little confused just how did you four get here because if you came through the mirror portal you would have been turned into ponies," Twilight said as she moved closer to the four young men.

You see we did not come here through this mirror portal that you speak of if fact, we don't really know how we got here," Hotaru said thinking of what happened to his brothers and himself. "In fact, we were traveling through the spirit realm from the southern water tribe to the northern tribe to meet with our mother when a bright ball of light appeared in front of us and pulled us into it the next thing we know is we awoke here in your world."He said as he finally started to piece things together.

"Wait, wait, are you saying that we're not on earth anymore, but a whole different world?" San yelled before he dropped to his knees.

"I'm afraid so and without knowing the right spell or location of your world, I won't be able to send you home, "Twilight said as she kneeled down and placed a hand on San's shoulder.

"Brother I just remembered Imoto was with us when we were pulled into the light, but I don't see her anywhere," Baygo said with tears forming in his eyes.

"You have one of your party missing please tell me what does she look like and I'll have my guards look for her at once, "Twilight said as she stood looking at Flash who nodded.

"Imoto isn't a girl, she's my Sky Bison and she gets easily frightened if she doesn't know you," Baygo said looking down still saddened.

"A Sky Bison what's that?" Flash asked.

But before Baygo could answer there was a loud, deep growling sound and a call from a certain light blue Pegasus with a rainbow mane that Twilight knew all too well.

"Hey Twi look what I found just flying around Cloudsdale, isn't it awesome you think I could keep it?" The light blue Pegasus yelled down at her friend while flying next to the large six-legged creature almost the size of a house.

"I'm sorry Rainbow but she already has an owner and I think he would be very happy if you bring her down now," Twilight said looking up at her friend.

Before everyone's eyes, Baygo used his Airbending and jumped in the air to land on Imoto's head-hugging her as best he could.

"Dude, what the buck you just jumped fifty feet in the air!" Rainbow yelled in complete surprise.

"How did your brother just do that?"Twilight asked in a very loud voice.

"Hehe uh, well you see your majesty, my brothers and I are what you would call element benders," Hotaru said while scratching the back of his head.

"An element what?"Rainbow asked as she landed on the ground with Imoto beside her.
Luckily the crowd moved so Imoto could land near the guys still with Baygo hugging her face.

"You know the elements, earth, fire, air, and water. My brothers and I can each bend one of them mine is Earthbending," San, said, giving them an example by making a small pillar of stone rise from the ground.

Standing there in shock for a moment Twilight looked at each of the young men before she composed herself."You have magic in your world?"

"Well, yes and no, only our mother the Avatar, and shamans can do magic, what we can do is bend the element that we are connected to with our will." And as you have noticed San is an Earthbender Baygo is an Airbender while Chuan is a Waterbender and I am a Firebender."Hotaru said proudly to the pony princess in front of him.

"Okay, I think it would be best if the four of you would like to come with me to my castle so we can talk about this bending of yours in more detail, but I'm sorry, but Imoto will have to wait outside, she's just a little too big to fit through the front doors, "Twilight said as she motioned for the men to follow her.

"That's alright your highness Imoto doesn't like being inside very much anyways," Baygo said as he jumped off his bison's head and stood beside his three brothers.

"Rainbow Dash can you go get the..."

"Other girls I'm on it, I'll get it done in ten seconds flat." She said, saluting before taking off leaving a rainbow trail behind her.

As Twilight began to lead the four men to her castle a voice calling her name stopped her in her tracks.

"Ah, Twilight do you think it'll be alright if'n the girls and I could tag along to hear Y'all talk to these here fella's?"Said a young pony girl with yellow fur with a pink bow in her red mane.

Standing next to her was two more pony girls one with white fur with a purple and pink striped mane and tail with a horn and one with orange fur and purple mane and tail with wings but the last one that looked as if she was, part lion and part eagle.
The CMC and Gabby

Looking at the girls each giving Twilight their signature puppy dog eyes she rolled her eyes. "Sure, come on and you girls do know that look stopped working after you turned Thirteen?"

Not hearing any more than ok the four girls move to stand in front of each of the brothers so they could introduce themselves.

Standing in front of Chuan was the unicorn girl. Raising her hand, she introduced herself."Hello, my name is Sweetie Belle it's a pleasure to meet you."

"The pleasure is all mine my name is Chuan son of Korra," Chuan said as he brought her hand up to gently kiss it.

Next was Baygo as the bird/catgirl stood in front of him." Hiya my names Gabby and it's really nice to make your acquaintance."

Taking her clawed hand in both of his Baygo smiled."And it is wonderful to meet another soul who enjoys the freedom of the sky you may call me Baygo son of Korra."

Standing in front of San was the yellow furred girl. Well, howdy there my names Apple Bloom it sure is nice to meetcha,"

Taking a firm grip of her hand San notices just how strong this girl really was." I have to say honestly, I like the way you talk, it's really cute and my name is San son of Korra."

This caused Apple Bloom to blush slightly.

Last was the orange Pegasus girl with light purple to dark pink hair was standing in front of Hotaru with her arms crossed under her breasts." Sup, so my name’s Scootaloo, and my friends, and I think that stuff you and your bros can do is really cool but not as cool as Rainbow Dash.

Smiling Hotaru bowed." I am sorry to hear that, but I do hope that we can become very good friends, and maybe someday you might think I am just as cool as Ms. Dash." He said as he rose up to smile at her which caused Scootaloo to blush slightly as well.

Seeing all of this happening Twilight just rolled her eyes, thinking to herself," It's so great to be young and fall in love at first sight, but when the girl's sisters find out about this, it might not end so pretty especially with Gilda and Baygo."Clearing her head Twilight called to the party of eight. "If everyone is ready will you please follow me to the Castle of Friendship?"

With that, the platoon of guards began to disperse the crowd while Twilight and Flash lead the four new residences and the four love-struck teen girls in the direction of the castle.

While they were walking the eight talked about this and that. The girls told them about their mission in life to help others to obtain their cutie marks or find out what their cutie mark represents.

Sal was the one who asked." What in the names of Raava and Vaatu was a cutie mark?"

With that, Apple Bloom quickly looked around before she pulled down the side of her daisy duke shorts to reveal her cutie mark on her left hip near her butt.

"This here is a cutie mark it shows a pony what their special talent is." She said pointing at the mark before she pulled her shorts back up with a little blush on her muzzle.

"Apple Bloom, you are so lucky that your sister didn't see that, or she would've tanned your flank," Twilight said not looking back at them.

San saw how Apple Bloom looked and decided to put his arm around her pulling her close."Don't worry my little southern angel I won't let anyone lay a hand on you for if they try they'll have to go through me and a mountain of earth or a wall of lava."He said leaning his head on her in an affectionate way.

This made Apple Bloom Blush hard and made everyone else laugh. As they made their way closer to the castle the girls and guys ended up either holding hands or the guy had his arm around the girl. All except for Scootaloo and Hotaru because Scoots was getting a piggyback ride. While Hotaru was holding and squeezing Scoots' tone butt she was pressing her double B cup breasts into his back, smiling while she rested her head on his shoulder.

Looking back Flash said under his breath so Twilight could only hear." Kids these days move pretty fast don't they?"

Which Twilight only nodded.

They finally reach the castle as everyone stood there Chuan nudged Sal." Hey, does this place look like it's you know?"

Looking Sal started smiling, then he started to lightly chuckle. "Yeah, it does."

As they stood there the doors to the castle opened and out walked five more mares who walked up to stand next to Twilight.

Turning around Twilight addressed the four young men. "Gentlemen, welcome to the Castle of Friendship."

"Allow me to introduce them you already met Rainbow Dash so this is Rarity, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Applejack," Twilight said as she gestured to each of her friends."Girls allow me to introduce you to Hotaru, Baygo, San, and Chuan they are four brothers from a different world who possess very amazing powers."

"And don't forget they're all hunks too, "Scootaloo said as she jumped off of Hotaru's back moving around to stand in front of him taking his hands and wrapping his arms around her waist.
Seeing the way the girls were with the young men their sisters all started to yell at them.

"Sweetie Belle just what do you think you are doing this is very unladylike what would mother and father say about this?" Rarity said to her sister who was holding on to Chuan's arm sandwiching her C cup breasts around it.

Sweetie's response was to stick her tongue out at her sister first then speak. "Why can't you let me be happy too, and I think mom and dad would love to know I found my special somepony so there."

"Gabby, Scoots what the buck I know for a fact Gilda ain't going to like this, but you too Scoots come on." Rainbow Dash said as she flailed her arms around.

"Oh come on Rainbow I've seen how you and Sorin are all lovey-dovey when you think nobody's looking," Scootaloo says causing Rainbow Dash to blush as Scootaloo pulls Hotaru's arms tighter around her waist.

Applejack looked to see her little sister standing there with this stranger's arm wrapped around her while she rested her head on his shoulder needless to say she was getting angry every second."What in tarnation Apple Bloom Y'all get your flank over here before I tan your hide little lady." She said as she reaches out to grab her sister's arm but San stopped her by grabbing Applejack's wrist first. Surprised that even with her earthpony strength, she strained to move her arm.

"I am sorry ma'am, but I promised, Apple Bloom that nobody would hurt her, and I always keep my promises," Sal said as he released Applejack's wrist.

"That goes for all of us," Hotaru says as he looks from the older mares to his brothers who are now holding the girls protectively."We will not let anyone harm or forcibly take our special someponies away not without a fight."He said to which the four girls turn around to look at their guy who each nodded in agreement.

At that moment the girls jumped up wrapping their arms around their guy's neck and pulled him down into a very loving and passionate kiss.

"It looks like my Pinkie Sense was right on the bits here." Pinkie said, smiling as she crossed her arms over her chest.

"What Y'all talkin' about there sugarcube?" Applejack asked her still holding her wrist.

"Well, you see my Pinkie Sense said that four stallions brothers would show up today and they would be the girls special someponies that's all." Pinkie said shrugging her shoulders.

"Okay, that is oddly specific of you Pinkie," Twilight said as she looked at the pink party pony. At that moment Twilight looked around to see one of her friends missing."Girl's does anypony know what happened to Fluttershy?"

Everyone started to look around then they heard her soft voice coming from the side of the castle. Making their way over there they all see The butter yellow Pegasus standing in front of the large sky bison having a conversation.

"Oh my, thank you and I have to say that your coat looks lovely too Miss Imoto," Fluttershy said.

Seeing this Baygo walked over stopping next to Fluttershy causing her to 'eep' and jump in fright. Smiling, he bowed, "I am terribly sorry if I frightened you, Miss it just surprised me, you see Imoto is very shy around new peo... ponies and it seems that she has taken a liking to you."

"Oh yes, you see my special talent is that I'm able to talk and understand animals and we were just having a pleasant conversation," Fluttershy said as she hid behind her mane.

Baygo was about to say something when Imoto quietly groaned.

Hearing this Fluttershy uncovered her face and brought her hands up to her mouth." Oh, my that is wonderful news congratulations."

"Excuse me ma'am but what did she say?" Baygo asked her.

"Well, it seems that Imoto is going to have calves four of them to be exact," Fluttershy says with a smile on her face.

"Are you sure well, of course, you sure there so many things I got to do, I got to make sure she has enough food and I have to build her a birthing stall and then there's the..."Baygo was cut off from his hysterical rant by Fluttershy and Gabby placing their hands on his shoulders.

"You don't have to worry, she won't have them until next spring so you have a full year to get everything ready." She said between giggles seeing how this young stallion was acting like an expecting father.

"Thankyouthankyouthankyou," Baygo said as he pulled Fluttershy in for a hug, which caused her to blush. After that, he released her then turned and pulled Gabby in and hugged and kissed her making her blush as well.

"Hey, Baygo when the time comes Y'all can use our barn at SweetAppple Acers ain't that right sis?" Apple Bloom said turning to her sister waiting for a response.

"Tipping up her trademark Stetson Applejack smiled. Ah, shot I reckon Y'all could use the barn seein' as your brother's gonna get hitch ta' my sister' that makes you family too." Applejack said smiling.

Hearing this Apple Bloom ran over to her sister and gave her a hug. "Y'all mean it AJ Y'all let Sal be my special somepony and we can get hitched."

Pushing her sister back from her a bit Applejack looked her dead in the eyes."Now, don't you go counting your chickens before their hatched now Y'all still gotta get approval from Big Mac and Granny before Y'all even start thinking about anything more than huggin and kissin' ya hear that goes for all Y'all. Go get your kinfolk's approval before this here turns into four shotgun weddings ya hear."

Apple Bloom moved back over to be pulled into Sal's waiting arms as they both nodded to her sister.

Clasping her hands together Twilight got everyone's attention. "Okay, now that we have all of that out of the way, why don't we all go inside so I can get some information from our four new residents of Equestria and will have to send a letter to Celestia and Luna. I'm sure they will want to meet and get to know you as well." She said as she ushered everyone inside the castle.

As everyone made it inside Flash Sentry was the last before closing the doors, he looked up to the sky." In the name of Faust, this is going to be a long day Twily probably won't be coming to bed and I was going to try that new position too." He thought as he finished closing the doors.

As everyone made their way to Twilight's library Pinkie asked the boys all her typical questions. You know, like do they like parties and cake and parties with cake and what kind of cake do they like when's their birthday basic Pinkie Pie Q n A.

To answer her questions San loved any chocolate cake, Baygo preferred strawberry shortcake, Chuan just loved any cake, and Hotaru preferred pie over cake because most are made with fresh fruits.

Anyway, back to the main story everyone finally reached the library, and they all took a seat.
Sweetie, Gabby, and Apple Bloom all sat down next to their coltfriends on separate oversized chairs while Scootaloo just sat on Hotaru's lap wrapping her arms around his neck.

The brothers watched in amazement as Twilight made multiple scrolls and parchment float around her before setting them all down on a desk. Seeing their expressions the girls giggled.

"What's the matter haven't you ever seen magic before?" Apple Bloom asked the four brothers.

"Not like this we've seen our mother talk to her previous lives and open passageways through the spirit world but nothing like this," Baygo said still amazed at what they saw.

"That was just a simple levitation spell all Unicorns can do it." Sweetie Belle said, demonstrating by lifting a book with her magic.

"Okay, before we continue I would like to apologize for what has happened to you and for the way you were treated when you arrived," Twilight said with remorse in her tone.

The brothers looked at each other than to the one sitting next to them or in Hotaru's case on him before Baygo spoke." It is quite alright your highness, no one was hurt and we are all friends now and will be for the rest of the time."

"Thank you so much for this, it means a lot to me, I mean us, all of us," Twilight said, gesturing around the room for everyone." Now let's begin, shall we?" She said as she levitated some paper and a quill over to her.

"So first off when you introduced yourselves, you said you were the sons of Korra why is that?" Twilight asked ready to write our response.

"Korra is our mother and she Is the Avatar so it is our way of showing respect," San said looking around at everyone.

"Wouldn't you normally say you the son of your father, not your mother?" Rarity asks still a little peeved at how her sister is acting.

"That would be true, but we do not have a father, or I should say we never had one," Hotaru said as he saw the confused looks on all the girls." Let me try to explain you see our mother never had a relationship with a man, in fact, she was a virgin until she started her relationship with Asami Sato or as we like to call her mom."

"So I take it that your mother is what we call a Fillyfooler then?" Rainbow asked with as much tact as she could muster.

The boys looked confused until Gabby leaned over and whispered in Baygos' ear.

"Oh, you mean a lesbian then yes, she was," Baygo said which made the other boys nod.

"If she was a filleyfoo... lesbian then how in the hay did she up and get pregnant with you four, "Applejack asked scratching her head.

"Yes, I would very much like to know that as well Darling," Rarity said.

"Actually, I think all of us would like to know that, "Twilight said as she looked at everyone.

"To be honest, we don't know neither does our mother or any of the Spirits. All they say is that one morning she woke up and she was pregnant, but here is the biggest mystery she was and still is infertile. So how could she become pregnant with not just one but four babies at once?" Baygo asked.

"Well, I'll have to look that up next time I'm in Canterlot there has to be some form of spell that would cause it, "Twilight said as she looked up from her notes." Now let's continue, shall we? Can you tell me more about this bending of yours where did it come from and how are you able to do it when you have no magic at all?"

So for the next three hours, we explained and demonstrated the different types and styles of bending.

First up was San for his demonstration of earthbending one of the crystal walls into more shelves for books and, he then metal bent one of the empty suits of armor into a statue of our mother in her avatar state with the elements around her and everything. He did refuse to show lava bending due to it being too dangerous and he still was learning to control it.

Next up was Chuan he went about and showed off waterbending he even got Rarity into it by encasing her in a bubble of water but keeping her completely dry. He also showed them his healing ability when Rainbow Dash was hovering and back into a bookshelf having a very large book fall and strike her head.

"That is so amazing," Both Twilight and Fluttershy said.

"Oh, that's nothing I can also do..." Chuan was about to continue when he felt Hotaru look at him and mentally tell him to shut it.

"What else did you say you can do Chuan?" Twilight asked only to be interrupted by Hotaru answering.

"The other form of bending Chuan can do is considered Taboo and should only be done in very dire emergencies, and I suggest he show it to you in private," Hotaru said in a very stern tone causing everyone to cringe a little.

"Oh, ah okay, then shall we move on?" Twilight said a little hesitant from the way I spoke.

"I am terribly sorry your highness, it's just the bending art my brother speaks of is considered to be barbaric and cruel," Baygo said bowing to Twilight.

"It is quite alright, I understand and it shows true conviction to your beliefs, "Twilight said, walking over to stand in front of Baygo. "How about we take a break for some lunch before we continue?" Twilight asked receiving around of stomachs growling as her answer making everyone blush and laugh.

Baygo excused himself and went outside a few minutes later he returned with four bags that were familiar to his brothers.

"Hey, aren't those our bags where did you get them?" Chuan asked as the brothers came over to take their own bag.

"Remember, we had Imoto carry them for us and since she's here with us so are our bags," Baygo said smiling before turning to Twilight. Princess as a show of gratitude to you and your friends, we would like to make a traditional meal from our world for all of you. And you do not have to worry it will be completely devoid of meat."

Hearing this the girls looked a little confused for a moment until Fluttershy explained that the brother minus Baygo were omnivores while he was vegetarian.

After a few minutes, Twilight and her friends agreed, and then they watched in amazement as the brothers took control of the kitchen. First, they saw Hotaru use Firebending to light the stove.

"Did you just see that he just shot fire out of his hand," Rainbow said looking around at the other girls?

"Yeah, he's totally awesome, but still not as awesome as you Rainbow," Scootaloo said with dreamy eyes until she looked over at her mentor big sis.

"Thanks, squirt but seeing as he's your coltfriend it's okay if he's as cool and awesome as me, "Rainbow said pulling Scootaloo in for a big sis hug.

Sitting at the kitchen table all ten girls watched as the boys worked their magic. The sounds and smells that were coming from the stove and counters were like nothing they had ever heard or seen. And after everything was done the fourteen sat down to their simple meal.
Which consisted of Vegan Miso Soup

Udon noodle Stir Fry

Tamgo-kake-gohan

and Green tea.

All the girls were enjoying their meals if the Mmmmm's and ahhs were any indications.

"Where did you learn to cook like this your mother?" Fluttershy asked which caused the boys to start laughing.

"Sorry, Miss Fluttershy we did not mean to insult you or anything but, to be honest, we learn to cook from our Grandmother because, well..." Baygo was hesitant to finish when Hotaru did it for him.

"Our mother couldn't even heat up a pot of water without setting it on fire," Hotaru said bluntly as his brothers all nodded in agreement.

"That sounds just like you Twi," Pinkie said with a smile making all the girls giggle.

"I'm not that bad anymore both, Spike and Flash said, I've gotten a lot better, "Twilight said with a blush on her muzzle.

"Yes and thankfully you do not make toast that you can drink through a straw," Rarity said, looking at her little sister who responded by sticking her tongue at her which Rarity responded the same before they both laughed.

Everyone laughed at all this fun until it was time to get serious again after cleaning the table and dishes they made their way back into the library. Everyone took their original places again, except this time, Sweetie, Gabby, and AB followed Scoot's example and sat on their coltfriends laps as well. This time no one said a word about it. With all that settled Twilight wanted to continue their conversation about bending.

"So by process of elimination, I would say that Baygo your element is air since Hotaru started the stove at lunch," Twilight said looking a little smug.

"That is correct I am an Airbender and Hotaru is a Firebender one of the most powerful, I would say next to our mother there is no one stronger, "Baygo said looking for his brothers for confirmation.

"Thank you so much, little brother, for putting me on the spot, you are soooo kind," Hotaru said in the most sarcastic tone he could do.

" Ok, ok enough of that now can I ask where did bending come from?"Twilight asked as she pulled out more paper.

Well, Earthbending came from humans watching badgermoles for they are the original earthbenders," Sal said with pride showing the girls a picture of a badgermole.

"What about the others?"Fluttershy asked after coooing over the picture.

"The first waterbender was the moon or Yue, man would watch as the moon would push and pull the tides then one day a hunter was lost in the ocean and he prayed to the moon to help him get home. The moon spirits heard him pray and came down to earth, there they taught man and his people how to bend all water, and they like it on earth so much they stayed but doing so it may it possible for them to get hurt or die. (For reference watch Avatar the Last Airbender episode 120)

"You know what I think, I think Princess Luna would love to meet you after all she is Princess of the Moon, "Pinkie said with her trademark smile.

Haring, this made Chuan smile, after all, he never met a Moon Princess before.

What about you Baygo where did Airbending originate?" Gabby asked her Coltfriend.

"Imoto's kind the sky bison were the first Airbenders," He said bluntly.

"Oh is that all I was just hoping for something more," Gabby said lower her head in disappointment.

Actually, Airbending was the first one, man ever learned if I remember the history lessons mother told us, "Hotaru said which made Baygo and Gabby smile a bit.

"And what about Firebending no wait, let me guess the sun right?"Rainbow said with a hint of sarcasm in her voice.

"Yes, how did you know, well actually dragons learned it first, then they taught man, but the sun is the first Firebender, "Hotaru said with the same sarcastic tone she used on him.-

"Seriously, I was just joking, but you mean you learned firebending from the sun?"Rainbow yelled in complete shock.

"Like I said the dragons were taught first, then man, was after he was deemed worthy though, "Hotaru said looking at Rainbow with a smile.

Lowering his head Hotaru took in a deep breath. "But of all the elements, fire is the most dangerous it would be closely considered to be a living thing," Saying this made all of them look confused at him." You see fire does what man can do It breaths, eats, and can reproduce, but if you take away its air or food it will die just like a man the only thing it can not do is think for its self." He said looking at them with a stern expression.

"That makes it sound like fire, is nothing more than pure evil and destruction," Twilight said, lowering her notes to look at him.

"True, but you must remember that even if all seems lost life finds away and even in destruction there is creation,"Hotaru said by showing them by burning a potted flower to ashes only for its roots and seeds to remain unharmed.

After another hour of talking about everyday things Twilight thanked the boys for all their help she began to get all of her papers stacked in order."Now all I have to do is write a letter to the Princesses about you for then everything will be taken care of," She said as she began to write one more time after finishing her letter she used her magic and in a flash of light it was gone." There now all we have to do is wait for a reply and we'll know where we go next."

Mean While in Canterlot

Celestia and Luna were sitting on their thrones in the great hall Half listening to the complaints of another snobby rich pony who thinks they're entitled to everything just because they are a noble. Suddenly, as the noble was about to continue a flash of light shut him up there floating in front of Celestia was a scroll taking it from the air, she opened it and began reading it. This caused the noble to huff which was short as a look from Luna stopped him from saying more.

"Sister is that a letter from Twilight?" Luan asked, leaning over to read what it said."Why did she not send it with Spikes dragon fire?"

"Remember Lulu Spike is visiting Lord Ember in the Dragonlands and he will not be returning for two more weeks," Celestia said as she turned to look at her sister.

"Forgive me, Tia, I had forgotten that so, what does our fellow Princess say in her letter nothing bad I pray?"Luna said as she attempted to read the letter again.

"No, in fact, it is very good news, It seems that four humans have arrived in Ponyville and they hail from the Elemental Nations and are in fact the sons of the Avatar, "Celestia said as she handed the letter to her sister.

"What, you mean to tell me Kyoshi's sons are here?" Luna said with a smile on her muzzle.

"No, sadly this is a new Avatar named Korra and it seems the each of her sons is a master of each element," Celestia said as her sister finished reading the letter.

"Too bad it isn't Kyoshi, I really liked her, "Luna said with a smile.

"The only reason you two like each other so much is all the pranks you pull around the castle growing up," Celestia said looking at her sister who responded with a raspberry.

The noble that was listening to all of this cleared his throat to gain the attention of the princess' look on in surprise as they both ignored him and proceeded to rise from their thrones and depart from the great hall completely ignoring him. Turning to one of the guards for help the guard just shrugged his shoulders.

"I think, court is over for the day you might want to come back Monday and try again," The guard said, to which the noble stomped his hoof and left in a huff complaining the whole way out.

Walking down the hallway, both Princesses make their way to the Royal Gardens there they have a chariot waiting for them.

"Do you think it's a good idea to just show up at Twilights without informing her first sister?" Luna said as she slowed her pace to their destination."Remember what happened last time."

Stopping in her tracks Celestia stood there for a moment. Huffing she materialized a quill and parchment with her magic where she quickly wrote down something, then sent the parchment away before placing the quill into one of the many flower pots near her." There, I just sent her a letter, now she knows we're coming happy?" Celestia said as she continued her trek to the gardens.

"Yes, and I thank you, sister, for I still can see young Twilight so frazzled when we last visited without informing her it was just dreadful," Luna said as she caught up to her sister.

"Oh Lulu, Twilight has been a princess for six years now she should have learned that stress is part of the job by now," Celestia said with a slight chuckle.

They finally made it to the gardens where a chariot waited for them. Climbing aboard they giggled like schoolfillies within moments they were airborne and traveling to Ponyville.

As they rode in the chariot the royal sisters sat in silence until Luna looked out the window and squeeed. "Sister, sister, look, look, is that what I think it is?" Luna said in a childish tone while pointing towards the large furry form outside of Twilight's castle.

Looking where her sister indicated Celestia let out her squee of excitement. "Yes, it is, oh, I haven't seen one in like forever and It looks as fluffy as I remember," She said thinking about their first encounter with flying bisons.

They were both jolted out of their thoughts as the chariot made its landing outside the doors of the Castle of Friendship aka Twilight's home.

"Well, I guess it's time to meet our newest residents of Equestria," Celestia said as she made her way off the chariot.

"Yes, let's, I just hope they are attractive, so we can get to know them more intimately," Luna said with a little sexy devilish smirk.

"Lulu that is no way for a princess to speak," Celestia said with a shocked expression which quickly turned to a grin. "I hope they are too, I haven't had a good rut since before your banishment." She said as she wiggled her hips.

As they made their way to the doors they had to jump back in surprise as the large doors swung open almost hitting the two royals in the face. Standing there was their fellow princess, Twilight Sparkle looks calm and collective but her hair still had a bit of a frazzle to it.

"Celestia, Luna its so nice to see you, what are you doing here?" Twilight said looking from one to the other.

The sisters just looked sideways at each other and were thinking the same thing." Well, here we go this should be fun."

Ten minutes earlier at Twilight's castle

As the girls were telling their new coltfriends of their adventures of when they were younger a flash of light caught their attention. Floating in the air was a scroll right in front of Twilight. Grabbing it, she opened it and started reading seconds later her appearance changed and she began to hyperventilate.

"Darling, what seems to be the problem?" Rarity asked her.

"No no no this isn't good, not now I'm not ready, there's so much to do," Twilight said as she became more frazzled.

Walking over to her Rarity took the scroll and read it herself.

"Oh my, I see what has caused you to become so disheveled," She said, placing her hand over her mouth in shock.

"So are you going to tell us what the big news is are we going to have to guess?" Rainbow Dash asked getting just a little ticked.

Looking at her friend with a glare Rarity cleared her throat. " It just says that the princesses wish to meet our new friends and are coming here."

"Really that is nice of them when will they be here?" Pinkie said, jumping up and down in excitement.

"Now," Twilight said which caused the boys to look at her with some fear.

Seeing this Baygo had Gabby moved so he could get up. Moving to stand in front of Twilight he placed his hands on her shoulders and looked into her eyes. And with a calming voice, he spoke to her." Ms. Twilight look at me you need to calm down and breathe, everything will be fine, we're all here and can help so please relax."

Hearing his voice Twilight looked into his eyes, she felt absolute serenity and relaxed, almost instantly. Taking a deep breath, her appearance changed to normal.

"Thank you Baygo I just kind of get a little freaked out sometimes," She said with a slight blush.

" It is quite all right, sometimes I had to help our mom when she had her little freak outs," He said scratching the back of his head.

What happened next was a montage of events Pinkie took Son and Chuan to the kitchen to make some snacks. While Rainbow Dash, Scootaloo, and Baygo did a quick clean-up with their speed. As everyone else just tittied up the library placing books and scrolls back on the shelves. Watching all of this Twilight was in awe at how everything was turning out in the short amount of time given to them. When everyone made their way back to the library Baygo passed Twilight a little too quickly causing her mane to become slightly messed up when Flash Sentry opened the doors to let them know the princesses have arrived. Hearing this Twilight made a mad dash to the front doors, opening them with a little too much force to greet her fellow princess.

"Celestia, Luna it's so nice to see you, what are you doing here?" Twilight said looking from one to the other.

"We received your letter about the arrival of four brothers and we wished to meet them," Celestia said after she regained her composure after that greeting.

"Oh yes, of course, you would please come in they are in the library," Twilight said as she stepped aside to allow the sisters to enter.

As they walked the hall Luna spoke up. "Is it true that they are humans from the Elemental Nations and the children of the Avatar?"

"Yes, that is what we were told by them, but may I ask why are you not concerned about them being human?" Twilight asked looking at both princesses.

"I believe it would be best to explain to everyone present," Celestia said, looking at her former student with her motherly smile.

Not pushing it further Twilight lead them to the library doors. Opening them the three were greeted by thirteen figures bowing with, "Welcome your Majesties," said by all.

Looking over the group Celestia and Luna's eyes fell upon the four humans who each held the hand of their love.

Both Royals sighed and thought the same thing. " Damn they're already taken."

Book One Chapter Three Explanations

View Online

As the three princesses made their way to the library Twilight wondered how her former mentor and fellow princesses would know of the Avatar and bending. She would ask but waited as they were just outside the doors to their destination. The three stopped just outside the doors hearing commotion inside well more like hysterical laughing. Opening the doors the three are greeted by the sight of thirteen happy and laughing ponies well nine ponies and four humans. It was Rarity that spotted the royal sisters first. With a gasp, everyone turned to the doors to see Twilight standing with her fellow princesses. Everyone rose and stood in a line the girls including Gabby kneeled before them. The boys bowed in four traditional styles of salutes.
In order San, Chuan, Baygo, and Hotaru.

After seeing this Celestia spoke up." Rise my little ponies and humans there is no need to be so formal."

Once everyone was standing each of the young mares moved over to stand next to their coltfriend and take hold of his hand.
Seeing this both Royals sighed and thought the same thing. " Damn they're already taken."

Putting on their best faces Celestia and Luna bowed in return to the four young men. "It is an honor to meet Elemental Benders once again, I pray, tell us how do the nations fare?" Luna asked as she rose from her bow.

"Fare but there are disturbances that arise every now and again but nothing our Mother and Mom can't handle," Chuan answered with a shrug.

Nodding both Princesses understood what the young man was saying about their Mother and mom being familiar with the concept of lesbians also called Fillifooling.

"Excuse me your majesty's but may I ask how you know of humans?" Baygo asked knowing full well that his brothers were wondering the same thing.

"Yes, I believe it is time, we told you, of how we know of humans and as well of the knowledge of bending," Celestia said looking to her sister to gain a nod to continue.

Our story takes place two thousand years ago Luna and I were still students of Star Swirl the Bearded. The mirror to the human world was not the only one that exists Star Swirl created many many, more each a doorway to alternate worlds parallel to our own but with slight to great differences some too dangerous to venture into.

But one portal was different in more ways than any other. It did not connect to Equestria in any way for you to see the others had or would allow Equestrian magic to exists. There was no magic only a power we could not identify we were about to close the portal when a lone figure came through. It was bipedal like the others we had seen but with no fur except for a long mane on top of its strange-shaped head. It was dressed all in green and had paint covering its face. Looking at it, Star Swirl recognized it as a human. One of the different species found on the opposite side of the mirrors. We were about to approach the human when a few overzealous guards became aggressive and charged. That was the first time we were introduced to bending.
The human took a familiar stance similar to that of the Kirin of Neighpon. And with just a wave of one arm columns of stone rose from the floor to send the guards flying through the air. Seeing this happen more guards took action Unicorns used their magic to fire stun spells while Pegasi were airborne ready to fight.

We watched as this lone human not only stayed off the attack but defeated all those involved. Wishing to end this conflict quickly Luna and I stood in front of the human and bowed showing respect. The human bowed in return then it spoke and we finally learned that it was female or commonly call a woman. Her name was Kyoshi and she was the AVATAR.
http://img00.deviantart.net/2d57/i/2012/241/3/8/avatar_kyoshi_by_rossowinch-d5cx546.jpg
Showing that we had no ill will to her we began to speak. She explained to use of bending and the history of her world. What we found most fascinating were the many past lives the Avatar had both men and women. I believe what made us quickly become friends were the stories of her adventures of trying to keep peace and balance in the world.

For the next few hours, Celestia and Luna told us of the adventures they had with Avatar Kyoshi in both Equestria and the Elemental Nations.

Two stories were the most interesting for the brothers.

The first was here in Equestria. A large group of Dragons began to attack the town of Trottingham. Celestia, Luna, and Kyoshi went to stop it only to find out that Dragon Lord Bahamut was leading the attack. So to prevent a war between Equestria and the Dragonlands, Kyoshi challenged him to a battle of strength and skill. Accepting the challenge of believing he would not lose to a hairless monkey as he put it. They began with strength, Bahamut being who he was, lifted a boulder the size of Canterlot Castle. As he held it in the air he failed to notice the ground which he stood began to lift in the air. He then realized that not only was he being lifted but the boulder he held as well a large piece of earth that was twice his size all by a creature no bigger than his finger. Needless to say, he was angry and the test of skill was forgotten. In his rage, Bahamut charged at Kyoshi and that was the first time we had seen what was known as the Avatar State. Using a combination of Earth, Water, and Air bending she was able to hurl the great dragon away from any populated areas. And for three hours they did battle but in the end, Bahamut laid beaten. After the battle, Kyoshi had bestowed sound wisdom upon him. He was lucky that he had fought her for if it was Celestia or Luna then he would have had the full power of the Sun or Moon to contend with. In the end, Bahamut agreed to sign a treaty between Equestria and the Dragonlands.

The second story took place in the Elemental Nations the creature, known as Koh the Face Stealer was wreaking havoc on Kyoshi Island. So the three of us journeyed there to confront this monster. This time it was Luna who engaged him in battle. Within the Spirit World, Koh believed he had the upper hand. But unknown to him Luna possessed the power of Dreamwalking and within the Spirit World, her powers were infinite. He tried multiple times to steal her face but in the end, he only received the most horrific nightmare imaginable. Which caused him to vow never to lure another human to the Spirit World again.

After hearing these stories both Twilight and Hotaru had the same thought.

"Princess does the portal to the Elemental Nations still exist?" Hotaru asked hoping the answer would be yes. He did like this world and he cared for Scootaloo deeply but, he like his brothers did miss their home and their mothers.

Looking downhearted both Celestia and Luna lowered their heads in sadness. "I am sorry but the magical energy to maintain the portal had become unstable. So it was decided that it was to be sealed forever," She said as both of them had tears forming in their eyes knowing full well that we would never be able to return to our own world.

"Thank you, your majesties this news may be hard but now we can move on and live our lives to their fullest," Baygo said as he knew his brothers felt the same way.

"Wait, What the buck do you mean to move on you do realize you can't go home ever and you're just going to expect it?" Rainbow Dash yelled as she flew in front of the boys.

"Miss Dash you must understand. Life is like a box of chocolates you never know what you're going to get," San said smiling at her.

"The acceptance of change is the true sign of maturity," Luna said while both she and Celestia smiled at the brothers. Nodding to each other they knew their time here had ended and they needed to return to Canterlot.

"It has been a pleasure meeting you and we welcome you to Equestria but we must return to our duties," Celestia said as she made her way to the doors.

"We do hope that you will join us at the Castle in the near future so we may introduce you to all of Equestria as its first elemental benders," Luna said as she joined her sister to leave.

After the departure of the royal sisters, there was a moment of silence until Applejack decided to speak her peace.

"Now I know you youngins think that we all are going ta just sit idly by but think again," She said to the four cupules. "Now I don't know about you two, but I think it's only right that four take these here relationships seriously and you court these girls proper like," She said as she looked at the boys then to Rarity and Rainbow Dash who both nodded in agreement.

"Yes although I think love, at first sight, is truly romantic I must agree with Applejack on this," Rarity said as she made her way over to the four couples. "A few dates here in town then maybe some in Canterlot or Dinner and a show in Manehatten, oh my the Grand Galloping Gala is in three months maybe you can escort the girls there as well."

Before she could continue Rainbow Dash threw her two cents into the mix. "Listen up Squirt I know you what to just jump into dating but you got to take it slow and that's something coming from me, Rainbow said while rubbing the back of her neck. And this goes for you to Gabby I promised your sister I'd keep an eye on you so as long as you're here the same rules apply too."

All four girls got up and walked over to the wall where they held their own discussion before turning around to face their sisters and temporary guardian.

"We expect your terms but on one condition," Sweetie Belle said in her squeaking voice showing how nervous she was.

"And what would that be?" Rarity asked crossing her arms as she looked at her sister.

"We get to openly show affection to our coltfriends that would include kissing, hugging, and cuddling," Apple Bloom said taking over for Sweetie.

"Now wait, one cotton-pickin' second here if you think I'm just gonna stand by and let Y'all go about acting like some two-bit Jezabeele than you got another thing coming, Sarah Blossom Apple," Applejack said causing her sister to cringe and start tearing up from hearing her real name.
https://derpicdn.net/img/2012/6/28/24317/full.jpg

Sol stood up and walk over to her pulling her into a protective and loving hug before he stared daggers at Applejack for what she had done to her sister.

Uh, Bloom, I'm sorry I didn't mean it I'm just worried about ya is all I would never think of Y'all like that, you're my little sis and I love ya no matter what," She said after she realized what she had said and done. Taking her hat off she stood there with tears falling from her eyes hoping that her little sister would forgive her.

Seeing this Sol whispered something in Apple Bloom's ear making her giggle then she rushed over and hug her sister crying and excepting her apology.

Twilight walked over to Sal and tapped him on the shoulder." Hey Sol can I ask what did you say to her for her to do that?"

"I just told her you can pick your friends you can pick your nose but you can't pick your friend's nose and family is forever," He said smiling as he looked at the two loving sisters.

"Oh,.... wait, what?" Twilight asked confused as to how he went from nose picking to family.

Hearing that everyone started to laugh at what was said and Twilights reaction.

"Oh Solly that was so funny my sides are hurting from laughing," Pinkie cried out as she was rolling on the floor.

"Now now all joking aside we still have serious business to discuss here," Rarity said as she composed herself to a more ladylike fashion.

"Yeah, I reckon if Y'all are careful and do it, proper like then you should be able ta do that stuff Y'all were wanting but the cuddling better be done in public so there's no hanky-panky Y'all hear," Applejack said as she finally released her sister from their hug.

The four couples agreed to those terms with each one giving their love an affectionate kiss.

Which got a collective Dwaaaaa from the older mares except for Rainbow who to this day will tell you she was just yawning.

I think it's time we call it a day plus I'm sure everyone would like to get something to eat and stretch their legs," Twilight said which everyone agreed to.

With a gasp Pinkie shot up into the air startling everyone in the room. "Oh, no I didn't get to throw you a Welcome to Ponyville Party I'm so sorry can you ever forgive me?" She said looking sad at the realization.

"Pinkie I reckon we can have their party tomorrow it's the weekend and that means the whole town can be there," Applejack said as she made her way to the kitchen to start on some dinner for everypony and human.

"Okie Dokie Lokie" Pinkie said landing back down on the ground with a big smile on her face happy that she didn't make her new friends sad for not having a party right away. With that, she followed Applejack to the kitchen to help with the food.

"Um, there still a few matters we need to discuss," Baygo said looking around at the others.

"And what would that be darling?" Rarity asked as she stood to stretch.

"We have no place to live and no means of financial support," Chuan said as he walked over to one of the bookshelves to lean on it.

"All of you can stay here in the castle and as for work, I'm sure Rainbow Dash could use Baygo on the weather team," Twilight began to say before Rainbow Dash interrupted her.

"How you figure that Twi?" Rainbow asked

"Well with Imoto and his Air bending I'm sure he can help move clouds," She said looking at Dash.

"As for Sol I'm sure Applejack could use his help on the farm Earth bending could be very useful," Twilight said which made Apple Bloom smile and run to the kitchen to ask her sister only to return with an even bigger smile.

"She said yes and she also said that Y'all could stay at the farm with me um I mean us," She said as she ran over to hug her coltfriend.

"Now what about Chuan and Hotaru?" Sweetie asked.

Fluttershy was the next to speak. "Well with Chuan's healing powers with water I think he could work at the hospital of animal shelter if it's all right with him that is?"

"Fluttershy that's brilliant huh why didn't I think of that?" Twilight said scratching her chin.

"I have my moments," Fluttershy said shrugging her shoulders.

"That well and good but what about Hotaru?" Scootaloo asked as she held on to her coltfriend.

"I don't know I can't think of any jobs the fire bending would be useful," Twilight said looking around the room for help.

"I am not just defined by my bending you know I have other talents as well," Hotaru said looking a little ticked off.

"Yeah he's the most powerful Fire Bender even compared to our mother," Chuan said.

"He's the best fighter out of all of us," Sol said.

"That's not helping you, two knuckleheads," Hotaru said as he shot a small fireball at each of them.

"I don't know if it will help but Hotaru did get a degree in teaching before we left for our trip," Baygo said walking over to Twilight.

"Really what was it in?" Twilight and Scootaloo both asked looking a little surprised at hearing that.

"Nothing much just Art and Literature why do you ask?" Hotaru said looking at them.

"That's perfect, Ponyville school has been looking for more teachers to help due to the population increase over the past six years," Twilight said smiling. "Plus I think the colts and fillies would love to meet you and learn from somepony like you."

"I don't think that's a good idea I don't get along with kids too well," Hotaru said scratching the back of his head.

"It's true he didn't even like us while growing up," Sol said as he walked over to them.

"No, I didn't like you because you and Chuan were annoying and you thought you could combine your bending to form a super bending and all you made was mud which I had to clean up by the way," Hotaru said glaring at his two smiling brothers.

"Well I think it's a great idea and Miss Cheeilee really needs the help," Scootaloo said as she moved closer to him wrapping her arms around his neck. Could you try it just for me?" She asked batting her eyes and then kissing him on the lips.

With a heavy sigh, Hotaru nodded.

"Dude you're already whipped," Rainbow said laughing.

“Not really you see, Scootaloo didn't hear the conditions for me doing this," he said with a smug grin.

"Oh, and what would that be?" Scootaloo asked.

"Nothing much just a full body massage," Hotaru said waving his hand around.

"No problem I'll do it," Scootaloo said getting a confused look from Rainbow Dash. "Hey, if it means I get to rub oil on his half-naked body then yes?"

"Forget what I said earlier you're both whipped," Rainbow said as she shook her head flying off.

Before anything else could be said Applejack came in the room to tell them that dinner was ready. everyone made their way to the dining room to eat and continue their conversation. During this, some stories were told mostly about how the girls tried to get their Cutie Marks. Some included Skydiving, ziplining, Baking, and Animal Training though they didn't get them they did tend to wind up covered in tree sap and pine needles. This caused the girls to blush and try to hide under the table until the guys pulled them up and hugged them.

"You know what the girls went through reminds me of that song we use to sing remember guys?" Chuan asked his brothers.

"Yeah that one that mom loved to hear from us ain't that right Hotaru?" Sol said as he and the others were getting up from the table.

"Fine we'll do it but just remember your parts," Hotaru said as he joined his brothers.

And just like always with the Magic of Equestria music began to play out of nowhere.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkV9SH8IYoo

After the song was over the boys stood there looking at everyone then a chorus of applause filled the room not only from the girls but the guards as well.

"Hoo doggie fellers that there is one fine song I betcha my friend Rara would just love to record that song of yours," Applejack said as she continued clapping with the rest of them.

"Thank you, it's just a song our mom taught us growing up," Baygo said a little embarrassed.

"Nonsense Darling Rara is one of Equestria's most famous performers," Rarity said as she made her way over to the boys. And I think music from your world would become very popular here."

"Yeah, yeah, great voices and all but it's getting late and some of us still have work to do in the morning so I think it's about time we call it a day," Rainbow Dash said as she started to take off for the door.

The others agreed and with some tearful goodbyes from the four young girls and see you laters the others, as well as Sol, made their ways home for the evening.

"Well now how about I show you three to your rooms," Twilight said getting the three remaining brothers to follow her.

After the boys were shown their rooms Twilight bid them goodnight and headed to her own room.

A half-hour later Hotaru laid there in his bed contemplating jumping out the window due to the fact he could hear the sounds coming from Twilight's room and they were not sounds of sleep. Most dealt with Flash Sentry worried about waking him and his brother up but being reassured that a nonexisting soundproof bearer was up and Twilight ordering him to punish his bad Princess.

In the end, the window won but luckily the drop was not far so he was unharmed looking around he saw his brothers getting comfortable by or on Imoto. Walking over Chuan threw m his sleeping bag with a smile on his face.

"What took you so long, Baygo and I were out of there right when they first started," Chuan said still smiling at his brother.

"You had a balcony and Baygo can Airbend I was stuck so just shut up," Hotaru said making his brother laugh at his misfortune.

"Hey, guys, I was wondering do you think we can make it here I mean with the girls and all?" Baygo asked his brothers

"What do you mean what about the girls?" Chuan asked him.

"He's wondering if we can have families with them you know being ponies and us well not," Hotaru said knowing what was bothering him. "Listen I wouldn't worry about it even if we can't have kids of our own we could still adopt so try not to think about it too much ok little brother."

"We're all the same age," Baygo said annoyed for being called little brother.

"True but I was born first and you were born last so I am the eldest not to mention I am four inches taller than you too," Hotaru said making him and Chuan laugh.

"Oh just shut up and go to sleep," Baygo said in a huff before smiling and turning over to get some shuteye.

As the three brothers turn in for the night a pair of figures watched over them from far in the sky. The two were no other than Princess Celestia and Princess Luna.

Looking from the boys to her sister Celestia smiled. "Please, Luna make sure their dreams are pleasant ones."

"Do not worry sister I will make sure but tell me why you wished for us, not to tell them that we were in contact with their mother from the beginning and it was she who wish for them to be brought here through the portal?" Luan asked looking from the sleeping boys to her sister.

"I know it is wrong to play with their lives but we promised Kyoshi that we would bring bending to Equestria and Raava told us only the elements born in human form are powerful enough to survive the journey through the portal and have the ability to reproduce with the life of this world," Celestia said turning to face her sister. "Besides those four young mares already possess the elements within them, they just need a little push to get them to surface."

"I know but I still don't like it, come let us return home you will need your rest if you are going to cover both our court times this week so I can go to E3," Luna said with a big smile on her face only to have Celestia roll her eyes.

"I still don't see how you're so interested in the video games they're just so childish," She said to make Luna stick out her tongue.

With that, the sisters left heading back to Canterlot, and once again silence fell over the sleepy town of Ponyville that is until Pinkie throws the Welcome to Ponyville Party for the brothers but that will be in the next chapter.

Book One Chapter Four Earth Bending Apple Style

View Online

As San and the Apple sisters made their way to Sweet Apple Acres Apple Bloom kept telling her coltfriend all about the farm. To be honest, San was really excited to see it He's been on other farms back home but most of them were either livestock or grain ones. He's never been on a farm that grew apples now his second favorite thing to eat (Giggity) the first being Onigiri or Rice Balls. He really loved those things especially with pickled plums but maybe he can add apples to the mix and have both. That idea would have to wait as he was brought back to reality by Apple Bloom kissing his cheek.

"Hey you all right Sugarcube Y'all kind of space out there for a second," Apple Bloom asked placing a hand on San's shoulder.

"Yeah I'm fine, I'm just really excited I never stayed on a farm before but I know it'll be nice as long as I'm with you," San said as he leaned over and kissed Bloom's cheek. That's nice and all but first we got to introduce him to Granny and Big Mac and see ifin' they are keen to you having a suitor," Applejack said with a little worry in her voice.

She knew Granny would like the idea but not so sure about their older brother seeing how protective he is of his family. Applejack's thoughts were cut short by the sound of barking coming towards them. Looking around her smile returned at the site of the family's beloved dog Winona. The three of them watched as the dog came barreling down the path only to do a leap into San's arms where she began licking his face. Applejack was surprised that Winona took to San so easily she'd normally be cautious when meeting strangers.

"Hey cut it out you furball," San said trying not to laugh as Winona kept licking his face and barking happily.

"See that proves it right there," AB said making her sister tilted her head looking at her. "San is so sweet that even Winona just wants to lick him all up,"

Hearing that both Applejack and San just rolled their eyes and laughed. The three of them continued walking up to the old farmhouse with the dog now on the ground walking next to Applejack. They came up to the porch and stopped when they saw granny was sitting in her rocker while Big Mac sat on the step. He looked up and saw the three of them then he saw something that made him mad.

"I don't know who ya are but ifin Y'all don't want me ta buck ya off this land, I suggest ya let go of my Lil sis's hand," Mac Said in a calm tone.

"Now Big Mac that ain't no way to talk to my Coltfriend," Apple Bloom said grabbing San's arm.

"What that I hear about a coltfriend speak up?" The voice of Granny called out.

"I did Granny and I like to introduce you to my coltfriend San. He and his brothers moved to Ponyville just recently," Apple Bloom said pulling San up to the porch so Granny could get a look at him. "Well land sakes your a strange-looking pony there sonny but I reckon if Y'all truly cares about my granddaughter I don't see the harm in courtin' her," Granny said making Apple Bloom squee.

"Thank you, Granny Smith," San said before he turned and walked over to stand in front of Big Mac.

"I do not wish to cause any disharmony I only wish for you to allow me to prove to you that my feeling for Apple Bloom are true and if in the near future you would give us a blessing to wed," San said as he dropped to his knees and bowed low to the ground.

Big Mac didn't answer he just got up and went inside Applejack and Bloom was about to say something when Mac returned carrying a sleeping bag and pillow.

"You can sleep in the barn until the spare room gets cleaned out," Mac said tossing San the sleeping bag and pillow.

Catching them San stands back up as Bloom goes over and hugs her big brother.

"Thanks, Mac," She said smiling at her big brother.

"Well shoot if this here colt 's going to humble himself like that I reckon I can give him a chance," Mac said as he ruffled Bloom's mane. "But you hurt my little sis I going to buck Ya to the moon Ya hear?" He said turning to look at San before he went inside.

"Pay him no mind sunny and how 'bout we head in fur some vittles," Granny said as she got up from her rocker and made her way inside.

San placed the bag and pillow down by the door with his own pack before standing at the door holding it for the two sisters before he followed them inside as well.

Following them inside they made their way to the kitchen where San's nose was assaulted by the most delicious smells he had ever encountered. Looking a the table it was filled with food he had never seen. Bloom showed and told him what everything was. They had a green salad, buttered mash potatoes, corn on the cob, something called buttermilk biscuits, and for dessert an apple cake and pie. Not wanting to be rude San waited for the family to fix their plates before he made his.

"Dig in youngin' there's plenty for all and then some," Granny said seeing as San still had an empty plate.

"Thank you, Granny but I was taught to always respect my elders and allow them to prepare their meal first, and seeing that you, Big Mac, and Applejack are my elders I will wait," San said smiling at her only to receive a kiss on the cheek from Apple Bloom.

"That's sweet and all but what about you and me your older so that means you should go first," Apple Bloom said looking at San.

San smiled back at her and shook his head "No that is where ladies first come in," He said with a cocky grin only to get a chuckle from Granny.

"This young feller sure knows how to treat a Mare how come Y'all ain't found one yet?' Granny said turning to face Applejack only for the Mare to choke on her salad.

Big Mac and Apple Bloom were laughing at their sister's predicament. San thought it would be best to help her out." Actually, Granny most men rrrr stallions are intimidated by a strong Mare both physically and mentally but I'm sure there's one out there that will fall head over hooves in love he might even be her opposite in every way," San said getting a silent thank you from Applejack.

After dinner, everyone with the exception of San moved into the living room. See He decided to clean up the kitchen since they invited him at the spur of the moment. Apple Bloom came back into the kitchen to keep her coltfriend company only to see all the pots, pans, plates and utensils were moving from the counter to the sink and out all on their own with only San scrubbing them clean.

"How in Equestria are you doing that I thought you can only move the earth?" Apple Bloom asked coming up to stand beside San.

" I still am," He said turning to see a confused look on her face." Ok, how to explain it, oh, I know, the earth is made up of different things you have elements, minerals, then you have refined the elements called metals like gold, copper, silver, and steel. Once they are refined most Benders lose the connection to them but I am one of the rare few how can still have that connection. So what I am doing is called Metal Bending it's just I'm not bending the metal only having it move where I want it," I said looking at Apple Bloom.

"I think I get it so what your saying is anything from the ground you can control I mean bend?" She said only to receive a kiss on the cheek from San.

"Exactly that's why I can also bend lava because it is just liquefied earth," I said kissing her cheek once more as I had just finished the last dish and set it away in the cabinet.

"Wow that's really cool do ya think I could do that too?" Apple Bloom asked with a hopeful smile.

"I don't see why not after all when Mother was younger there were only four Airbender and then they were popping up everywhere and most were already grown," I said making her smile. "How about we see if you can learn before breakfast tomorrow."

Hearing this Apple Bloom squeed and hugged San putting her Earthpony strength behind it making San realize that he should never make any of the Apple siblings mad. After their hug, they made their way to the back door.

"Well, I guess this is goodnight?" Apple Bloom said looking a little sad.

San leaned in and kissed her cheek and whispered in her ear. "Bloom which window is your room?" He said smiling at her.

"The one in the back of the house why?" She asked only to look shocked at what he said. "Oh no we promised ma sister that there was no funny stuff remember,"

"I know it's just I don't want to be too far away from you that's all," San said as he turned and walked out the door picking up the sleeping roll and heading to the barn only to stop and look back at Apple Bloom then up to where her window was.

Apple Bloom didn't know what he had up his sleeve but just thinking about it made her tail swish back and forth really fast. She turned and headed into the living room before the most perverted idea came to her mind. If San was going to be outside her window she just might have to give him a little show when she got dressed for bed. So she said goodnight to everyone and hurried upstairs hitting her room first to look out the window and sure enough, San was standing there looking up.

Sticking her head out she looked down at him. "Let me go take a shower then I give ya an early birthday present," She said ducking back inside with a sultry smile on her face.

San looked up at her window and thought about what she meant when it came to him. A smile graced his face but he looked up again and noticed that he could only see the ceiling of her room so using his bending he made a pillar ten feet across rise from the ground and stop level with the window now he could see completely inside. While he was doing that Bloom was in the shower cleaning up and getting ready for San's little surprise. After she was finished she quickly dried her mane and tail but left her body damp grabbing the white tee shirt she always wore and a nightgown she pulled it over her head but this time she didn't pull the back over her tail. Looking at herself in the mirror and taking a deep breath she left and entered her room rushing over to the window only to stop when she saw San sitting level, with the sill.

"How in tarnation did you get up... " Apple Bloom asked as she made her way to the window looking down she got her answer. " Oh I guess that'll make it easier," She said stepping back to let San look at her as she playfully modeled for him.

She would do little spins letting him see her bear but and cutie mark but what San had trouble keeping his eyes off was how transparent Bloom's white shirt had become.

If anyone wants to know Apple Bloom is a natural redhead nicely trimmed too just saying.

As San sat there he started to really feel that Apple Bloom was his true soulmate. Sure back in the Elemental Nations, he did have a few flings here and there but none of them clicked not like this. Here before him stood the Mare he would spend the rest of his life with. When that thought entered his mind he moved closer to the window and had Apple Bloom stand there he reached out and put his hand on her cheek as he smiled at her. Leaning in he kissed her lips with more passion than he ever felt a little surprised Apple Bloom returned the kiss opening her mouth as her tongue tried to make its way into San's own mouth. Felling it he too opened his and both their tongues began to dance. They both moaned at this but the kiss was short-lived when the need for air became too much. As they separated San never stopped looking into the eyes of his future.

"Bloom, I can tell the truth that I know now, you are the one for me and I don't want to ruin any chance for us so I 'm going to stop it before anything else happens," San said as he started to lower the earth pillar back down. "Just remember that I love you and even if we're are apart our hearts and souls are one and we will always be together in our dreams," He said never breaking eye contact with her until he was back on the ground.

"And I love you my Earthbender," Apple Bloom said as she watched San walk back to the barn.

Unknown to Apple Bloom two things were happening when the lovebirds said their goodnights. The first was her sister and brother standing outside her door listening in on them ready to bust in if things had changed. The second was the small flower pot on her nightstand that held a small single rose but the flower wasn't what was amazing that was the soil in the pot for its rose up and took the shape of a heart with the flower still growing out of the top. Apple Bloom didn't even see it, she was too busy thinking about what San had told her and the more she thought the more the soil changed until it took the shape of San holding the rose in his hands.

As the sun just peeked over the horizon a young Earthpony mare of the Apple family was already up and preparing breakfast for herself and her special somepony so they could start the day. Apple Bloom looked out the kitchen window to see San outside doing some stretches. Wrapping on the window to get his attention Bloom waved for San to come inside. Walking through the door San's mouth began watering from the smells that hit him. Looking at the table he saw a large stack of pancakes, hash browns, eggs, and toast. Moving a chair out for Apple Bloom to sit first San followed suit sitting next to his girlfriend no his future wife San could only smile.

"What are you smiling about?" Apple Bloom asked blushing a little.

"Oh, I was just thinking how nice this is and how great it would be to do this every morning with you," San said leaning over and kissing her cheek." But I think we need to hurry so I can teach you about Earthbending before the others wake up," He said taking a bite of his food only to stop and savor the taste.

After their breakfast, they made their way outside to the apple orchid. walking side by side Apple Bloom kept looking at San and how serious he looked while they walked.

"Um, sugarcube can I ask you something?" Apple Bloom said as she stopped walking.

San Stopped and turn to look at Apple Bloom. "Sure what is it?"

"Well, I was wondering where we're going seeing as we've been walking for a while?" Apple Bloom said looking at San then around them.

San Looked around before turning to look at Apple Bloom. "Sorry about that,' San said blushing. "But it's just I felt something strange coming from the center of the orchard Like it was telling me this is where we should be, why did you ask?" He said walking over putting his hand on Blooms' shoulder.

Apple Bloom wrapped her arms around herself as tears started to fill her eyes. "Cause right over there is the place my folks got married and it's where their graves are," She said a San pulled her into a comforting and loving hug.

"Oh I am so sorry AB I didn't know but that might be why it feels like there is so much of it here,” San said taking Apple Bloom's hand in his placing it on the ground. "Here see if you can feel it?"

Apple Bloom had her hand on the ground and she closed her eyes trying to feel what San was talking about. All of a sudden her eyes shot open and a smile grew on her face.

"I can feel it, I can feel it!" Apple Bloom yelled as tears fell from her eyes. " It feels like the last time my Ma and Pa held me in their arms the warmth and love," She said turning to look at San.

"What you feel is the Earth welcoming you home you can feel the energy of life as it flows through everything in touch with the earth the trees the rocks even the animals as they move on the ground and through it," San said as he placed his hand on the ground as well.

Apple Bloom closed her eyes and began seeing everything around her more clearly every plant and animal that was in contact with the earth in one way or another be it on the ground or in the trees. She was able to see it in her mind as clear as if she was looking at it with her eyes. Even better than that as some things seemed to be on the other side of the farm no they were in Canterlot. She could see ponies walking around Canterlot well not ponies but images of them almost like they were pictures but with no color but they were moving.

"Is this what it like for you to see the world through the ground?" Apple Bloom asked as she opened her eyes and looked at San.

"Yeah pretty much and after you train you'll be able to see the whole world and everything on it plus you will be able to see and feel the earth even if it's floating in the air," San said smiling at her. "Now first we must stretch then we will start off with the basic stance that way you can learn more about earthbending," San said as he stood up reaching out his hand to Apple Bloom.

Taking his hand Bloom blushed a little before composing herself. "Okay, what do we need to do first?" She asked as San stood there looking at her. "What, what's the matter is something wrong?" Bloom asked getting a little scared.

"Oh no, it's just I never thought I would be training someone in earthbending is all," San said blushing as he rubbed the back of his head.

"Well I think ya better get used to it, seein' as when our kids get old enough Y'all be doing it with them," Apple Bloom said as she blushed only to realize what she just said about them having kids.

San started to blush as well thinking of him and Bloom actually having kids but more of them having sex to make them. Shaking those thoughts from his mind he moved over to stand next to Apple Bloom. "Okay first of stretching so let's begin," He said as he started doing his normal morning workout looking over to see Apple Bloom comping his every move.

After fifteen minutes they finished the workout and Apple Bloom didn't even look winded. "Wow that sure was different but I can see why Y'all do this every morning I think I can bend over backward and touch my toes after all that stretchin' we just done," She said smiling.

Once more San had to shake another lewd thought out of his head before he returned his focus to teaching Apple Bloom. "Now first off you must understand what it means to earthbend and the best way is to resight the words from the most powerful Eathbender in history Toph Beifong.
"Earthbending is the element of substance. The key to Earthbending is your stance - you've gotta be steady and strong. Rock is a stubborn element. Unyielding. If you're going to move it, you've gotta be like a rock yourself." Now let us begin," San said taking the first stance of earthbending.

These are the forms used in Avatar by Earthbenders.

Following his moves, Apple Bloom moved so fluently as if it was natural for her and quite possibly it was. Unknown to her San watched the earth around them move and bend to her will. From the smallest pebble to the largest boulder around them. He couldn't understand, why was this happening. For Earthbenders they had to use some force in their movements but Apple Bloom showed no signs of it like himself. It was as if she was truly connected to the earth itself like she was the heart of this world. Could it be her being an Earthpony or something more? All he knew was he had to figure this out and talk with his brothers to see if their girlfriends showed the same insight and attribute to the other elements as Apple Bloom and if so then they would need to speak with the Princesses. Because there is no way this is normal and something has got to be going on.

"Hey, San Y'all right there sugarcube Y'all look like your stressing about something?" Apple Bloom said as she stopped her training and moved to stand in front of San looking up at him worried.

San blinked a few times before he looked at Apple Bloom and smiled at her. "Yeah I'm fine just thinking is all but I got to say you're a natural at this," He said gesturing around them as Apple Bloom looked to see the boulders and earth returned to where it looked as if nothing happened.

"Wait are y'all saying that was me doing that but all I felt was a little weight on my muscles," She said looking all around them before turning to look at San.

"Yeah that was all you and I have to say it was the second most beautiful thing I have ever seen," He said looking at her eyes.

"Really what was the first?" Apple Bloom said moving closer to him.

"Well that would be you," San said as Apple Bloom wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned in to kiss him.

San didn't hesitate, leaning in himself their lips met and they began to move their hands over each other's bodies moaning as they went. Apple Bloom couldn't take it anymore forcing San to fall backward as she landed on his crotch straddling him. Pulling away she sat there looking down at the stallion she loved and without hesitation, she began removing her top. Her shirt fell off landing beside them as she reached behind her undoing her bra letting her as San would call them her perfect breast free. Within what felt like seconds both of them were completely nude Apple Bloom still straddling him. She started rubbing her crotch back and forth moaning the whole time San was no better he grabbed hold of her hips pulling her down so his rod was pressed into the folds of her lower lips. They both knew this was as far as they could go without true penetration but that didn't bother them. The feeling was heavenly and they continued until they both reach their climax after that Apple Bloom just fell forward laying on top of San as they both were breathing hard from their makeout session.

" I never felt anything like that before it was amazing," Apple Bloom said as she began kissing San once more.

Yeah it was but I think we better get cleaned up and head back before your family starts getting worried," San said kiss her once more and helping her up. Think I better go and wash up seeing as I'm coved in...." San began to say before he stopped when Apple Bloom bent down and began licking all of his seed off his stomach and chest.

"Mmmm this is better than I thought a little salty but it still tastes nice," She said as she licked him clean.

After she was done she leaned in and kissed him once more. San decided to do something and moved his hand down between Apple Bloom's legs finding what he wanted he place his figure at her opening and gently pushed it inside making Bloom gasp moving it back and forth for a few seconds he then withdrew it and brought up the now glistening digit to his mouth and sucked it clean savoring the taste.

"I think the next time we do anything I get to taste more of this delicious nectar of yours," San said as he kissed her once more reaching down and squeezing her butt.

They decided to stop there before something happened and got dressed luckily for them the smell of their sex was drowned out by the smell of sweat from their workout or they both would be in trouble. They both also decided to not tell her family about her bending just yet at least until she had better control of it. When they reached the house they saw that Applejack and Big Mac were ready to start work so they made their way over to see what else was needed to do today.

"Well howdy, you two where have ya been?" Applejack asked before she smelled us. "Hoo doggie you both smell like you been bucking apple for a week straight now get over there and wash up a bit before Y'all make the apples smell rotten," She said pointing to the well by the barn.

They walked over to the well and pulled up a bucket full of water then they both removed our shirts not thinking about it and began splashing water on themselves and using a rag to dry off with before putting their shirts back on. After that, they turned to head back over to the others only to notice the strange look they were getting.

"What Y'all looking at did we miss anything or make a mess?" Apple Bloom asked tilting her head.

"No just Y'all just stripped down to your bra in front of you Bo and not even flinched when ya still hide in your closet with me in the room," Applejack said looking surprised.

Big Mac, on the other hand, started looking pissed until he saw the two of them look at each other before turning away with deep red faces. then his anger disappeared believing that they didn't realize they did it but he still had a little feeling in his gut that something was up with those two and he was going to find out.

"So what are we doing today?" San asked looking at the two older Apple siblings.

"Well today we're bucking the south forty," Applejack said. "Mac and I will buck the trees and you two will set out the baskets and pick them up when full loading them on the carts to be taking back to the barn we clear?" She said only for Apple Bloom to huff.

"Oh, come on Applejack I can buck the trees too ya know," Apple Bloom said crossing her arms under her breast. " I ain't a filly no more so why do I hafta do that still?" She asked looking a little upset.

"I know yer, not Bloom but San don't know nothing about bucking apples so I figured you want to spend as much time with your Bo," Applejack said looking at her little sister.

Apple Bloom figured out what her sister was doing and decided to just nod and agree. So for the rest of the day except for lunchtime the four of them worked out in the field. Mac and AJ would buck the trees and Sa and AB would either set out empty baskets or pick up full ones loading them on two carts taking them to the barn before returning with an empty cart and more baskets. To the older sibling's surprise, San kept up with Apple Bloom and them sometimes he would take both carts on his own and have AB set out the empty baskets for them. Altogether they completed the work and still had sunlight to spare.

"Hoowee I never would have believed it ifin I hadn't seen it with my own eyes," Granny said as the four of them made their way up to the barn with the last two loads of apples with AB sitting on the cart pulled by San while AJ walked next to Mac as he pulled the other cart.

"I know what ya mean Granny with just the three of us we'd be still out there well after dark," AJ said as she walked over to her.

"Eeyup" Mac said as he pulled the cart into the barn.

San followed him in and they both disconnected themselves from the carts before turning to leave. Mac closed the barn door and started walking over the others. San, on the other hand, stood by the barn thinking of how much work it was they did here every day and how glad he was for his earthbending strength otherwise he would have been dead tired after the first two cartloads. But other than that things went really well he got to see what the Apples did for a living and how much they cared about not only the trees but the land as well. This made him feel that this was where he was supposed to be.

"Hey, San didn't ya hear me?" Big Mac's voice called out bringing him out of his thoughts.

"Oh what sorry I was just thinking,' San said a little embarrassed.

"I said grab your gear Granny cleared out the spare room for ya so you'll be sleeping in the house from now on," Mac said as he walked over to the young man.

"Ok thank you I'll be right there," San called back as he went into the barn to grab the sleeping roll and his pack before closing the barn door and walking over to meet Big Mac.

"Now I know it's going be hard for ya both but I think it'll be fine ifin' Y'all would like to sleep together that is if you keep your clothes on that is," Granny said to Apple Bloom and San when the others weren't listening making both of them blush making Granny chuckle. "Now all Y'all come inside dinner ready and on the table."

Hearing that everyone made a beeline to the house to have one of the best meals ever. Because not only did they get their work done early and AB and San learn that she is a natural Earthbender but also Granny gave San and Apple Bloom permission to sleep in the same bed but the two lovebirds already had some very sensual time together that morning and they couldn't wait for more in the future. San was the last to enter the house stopping at the door he looked up to the sky smiling knowing that this was the first day of the rest of his new life in Equestria.

Meanwhile all across Ponyville Chuan, Baygo, and Hotaru each have found out something special about their girlfriends as well only Hotaru's was more explosive than the rest.
