Onyx slowly awoke from his sleep, looked at the Calendar, and looked at Pinkie, and saw that she was snoring away. He slowly climbed out of bed and made his way to the bathroom so he could get ready for the day. Pinkie snuck into the bathroom as Onyx was showering. "What in Equestria are you doing awake so early, Onyx?"
"Join me in the shower, Pinkie?" Onyx asked and watched as she undressed and climbed in with him. As he slowly gathered soap for his hair as she got water on her body. Onyx spoke up, happy that they were having this time together. "I am meeting my brother about something today pretty early."
Pinkie smiled while she washed her body and rubbed herself on him. "How long is your meeting with your brother Onyx?"
Onyx hummed and jawed in thought as he scrubbed himself with Equestria fur soap, which in his opinion, was amazing because back on earth, he would definitely use it on his dog. He nodded his head when he had figured it out. "Probably about 2 hours, and I have to be there in an hour."
Pinkie smiled because it sounded like they had plenty of time for a bit of fun and slowly rubbed herself down his body to his lower portion. "That is plenty of time for us to have a little fun, Onyx."
---Time Skip a Few Hours Later---
As Onyx was walking down the street, he could not help his surprise when papers started falling around him. As he slowly bent over and picked one up and read it, he could not help but smile because that meant that he could pen down another chapter of the volume of his runic language. He slowly hummed a cheery tune as he made his way down the street before thinking. 'I have not been able to do any runic work except making toys for children. My arm is getting itchy, but at the same time, magic is too wrapped up in my runic language to make anything safely, really.'
When he spotted his brother Emerald slowly sipping a drink in his silly turtleneck jacket, he could not help but smile at him. Onyx slowly walked forward and sat down across from his brother while speaking. "Hello, Emerald, what did you want to meet about? You sounded kind of panicked about something in your writing?"
"Mother and Father have heard about you setting up a herd and wished for me, your elder brother, to make sure you are not making a mistake and that you could afford it. Which, in my opinion, you are doing just fine with everything." Emerald spoke before taking a small drink of his tea. "They also wish for me to ask how everything is going with Pinkie. Just to make sure no problems are developing that is making you create a herd."
Onyx nodded his head while listening to his brother and smiled at him. Before speaking, he ordered a tea. "We are having no issues, in my opinion, but Pinkie was the one who approached the others about starting a herd. She was a part of one growing up and watched it develop into a big family."
Emerald nodded his head at Onyx word's and took another drink of his tea. He hummed and decided to ask Onyx about his health. "How are you feeling, Onyx?"
Onyx let out a low groan at his brother's question. He spoke up in annoyance. "Did Pinkie put you up to this Emerald?"
"She might have mentioned that you were having headaches along with weakness to sunlight." Emerald looked at Onyx while he was sipping at a tea. "Onyx, if you are having problems, I need to know. I am your brother and a doctor."
Onyx sighed and looked at Emerald. "Emerald, I saw a doctor in Canterlot, they already have a regiment that I am on, and I am already getting better. I will be fine alright; I did not want to tell anyone because it is not as bad as it sounds."
Emerald watched his brother decline any help at all and sighed in annoyance. "Obviously, Pinkie informed me that you are already getting better, but the fact I had to find out that you are sick from her and not you… you have to understand Onyx that this is crazy, right."
Onyx looked at him and sighed in annoyance. "I am not extremely good at talking about my problems, alright. I know I should have told you and maybe I should have said something, but you are my brother, and you are a doctor. You could not see me anyways."
Emerald growled at Onyx. "I still should have been told you were sick from you and not from Pinkie, a woman you are courting. I should have heard from you… you… you… anti-social bastard."
Onyx winced backward at his brother's words, and for some reason, that hurt more than he expected. He slowly took a drink of his tea and felt his leg shake from the words he was told. "I know I can only apologize for the way I am, but I know that I can not make up for the fact that I am not a big talker. I know I messed up, and I would like to apologize."
Emerald grimaced and looked at Onyx because he knew that was probably going to be the best that he was going to get. "I just wish you were a little bit more social, Onyx. I swear one day I am going to blink and realize that you have done something crazy or died, and I will not know until Pinkie or one of your wives tell me."
Onyx looked at his brother and sighed because it was looking more and more like he needs to spend time with his brother. "How about we try to meet up once a week, Emerald?"
Emerald was surprised that his own brother was willing to do this and make a weekly appointment. "Are you sure you are willing to do this because if you miss it, I will come to hunt you down, you understand, right?"
Onyx nodded and watched his brother Emerald sip his tea in thought before speaking up and agreeing. "Alright, Onyx, I will agree with a weekly meeting as long as you make sure to show up."
---Time Skip---
Onyx sat down looking at the gathering Pegasus and watched as Rainbow and Twilight went through the list of ponies that were currently there and were surprised that there was more than canon. He slowly stood up and made his way over to Twilight and Rainbow. "So where are all the guys and girls supposed to be taking place."
Rainbow sighed while she was looking over the ponies. "There is no way we can break the record now, but we can definitely get the water up into Cloudsdale."
Rainbow looked over the various ponies and smiled at them. "So I know that there was a chance we could not do this, but if everyone works together, we can at least get the water up there."
"Shall we, ladies and gentlemen." Rainbow led the various Pegasus towards the water and started getting the slowest fliers at certain levels and setting them up. "Let's get started. The first team, you have a go."
The first group of Pegasus started flying in circles at the lowest point. Rainbow watched the tornado start-up and looked at the rest of the teams in when they were needed. Twilight watched what was probably one of the most extraordinary magic of harmonic teamwork. Onyx smiled as he watched the tornado slowly form. "Do you think that Fluttershy is going to show up, Twilight?"
Twilight blinked and was about to speak before noticing Fluttershy fly into the clearing and smiled at them. "I am late, I know… and I am sorry, but I have to get in there at least I can help."
Fluttershy quickly flew in and left Onyx and Twilight standing there, Onyx looked over in Twilight about to speak up and noticed something. "Twilight, I do not think it was a good idea to be wearing a skirt to this event."
Twilight blinked and noticed her skirt was flared up and showing her underwear to Onyx. She quickly pushed her skirt down to hide it. Twilight spoke up after pushing it down with not a shy voice but almost melancholy. "Thank you for pointing it out, Onyx. Instead of leaving me there flashing everyone."
"Twilight, Are you all right?" Onyx was confused about Twilight's tone of voice because it sounded like Twilight was sad that she was not flashing everyone.
Twilight looked around, making sure that no one was around before looking at Onyx. "Am I not pretty, Onyx?"
Onyx was surprised about Twilight's question. "What on earth gave you the idea that you are not pretty, Twilight?"
Twilight slowly sat down next to Onyx. "It's just that everyone is pairing up except for Fluttershy, and I think that is because she is timid. You are the only one that looks at me like a woman."
Onyx started coughing while Twilight began laughing. "Of course, I can see your looks Onyx, but there is no one else that looks at me like that."
"Oh, Twilight." Onyx took Twilight's hands into his own and smiled at her before speaking softly. "Twilight, you are gorgeous and definitely sexy, but everyone knows that Princess Celestia is pretty much your second mother."
Twilight smiled and looked at Onyx at his compliments and felt herself blushing. "You know if you keep sweet-talking me like this, I am going to end up with you, don't you."
Onyx sighed and thought about it. "It would not be the worst thing to enter into a courtship with you, but I know that you probably only want one person and not a herdship."
Twilight hummed and smiled at him before looking at him. "I will think about it, Onyx, and if I decided that I want to do it, would you accept me like you have Rarity and Applejack and Pinkie."
Onyx hummed and smiled at her. "I would love to have you, but you would have to talk to the girls that I am in Hardship all right."
Twilight nodded her head and smiled at Onyx, and slowly lifted her skirt. "Would you like another peek, Onyx?"
Onyx laughed and smiled at her and looked at her exposed thigh. "I would not mind a peek, but you and I both know that you are just teasing Twilight."
Twilight smiled and hugged Onyx tightly. "I am so happy to have made a friend in you, Onyx."
---Time Skip Same Day Nighttime---
Rarity and Applejack sat with Pinkie at the main table when Onyx brought dinner into the room. Onyx slowly moved things. "Alright, before I plate our dinner, we need to have a talk, girls, because Twilight asked me something today, and I think she will be approaching you in a few days."
The girls were surprised that Onyx held dinner hostage before they sighed and motioned for him to continue explaining what he was talking about. "Twilight approached me today while we were watching Rainbow, and we talked about something. Twilight first asked me if she was attractive, and you know I comforted her."
The girls nodded because this sounded something like Onyx before seeing him stop and continue talking nervously. "She asked me if she could join the hardship, but I made it so she would talk to each of you and see what you thought, okay."
The girls were surprised because they thought Twilight would not like to join a herd ship. Onyx looked even more nervous. "She has been noticing my looks and was looking to see if anyone else was looking at her like I was and saw that no one else was watching her like I was."
The girls let out low giggles, stole the good from Onyx, and smiled at him, with Pinkie was the first to speak up. "I think I can speak for all of us that we think she would be a perfect fit with us, Onyx."
Rarity smiled at the food and looked at Onyx. "I always wondered what Twilight's plan was and could not help but wonder when she was planning to approach you."
Onyx was really confused because it looked like the girls knew she would approach him for herdship, but Twilight had never mentioned it. Applejack looked at the confused Onyx and started laughing. "We knew that she was looking interested in you, but we did not know what, but the fact she was feeling underappreciated by the male sex is confusing. She is most definitely sexy by the way you look at her."
