Onyx sat in a Café with Pinkie because it had been a while since they had a lunch date with each other, and he had plans for the whole herd this week. As he slowly enjoyed his food, he spotted what looked like a hot air balloon float by. Onyx blinked in confusion before spotting Spike run after it warning people that the balloon was without people. He looked over at Pinkie in confusion, who was silently giggling at the way Spike was acting. Onyx spoke up in genuine confusion. "Why does Spike not call for a Pegasus to get the balloon back?"
Pinkie just silently giggled at Onyx's genuine confusion because Onyx sometimes forgets that not all Pegasus are like Rainbow and acting like heroes. She watched as Spike ran through the town, trying to grab onto the balloon and stop it from flying away. She hummed and hawed because Spike was getting pretty close to the edge of town, and the balloon was heading towards the Everfree forest. Pinkie spoke up with genuine worry in her tone of voice. "Well, it looks like Spike was able to grab on, but it is taking him into the Everfree forest."
Onyx could not help but roll his eyes because even with all the knowledge that the Everfree is not truly dangerous but more chaotic. The ponies of ponyville are honestly quite a bunch of worrywarts over the fact that Everfree is not a harmonic place. He tried to think back to this episode and could not help but shake his head because he was not getting a clear picture which was slightly annoying. He spoke up with a slight lift to his tone of voice. "Spike should honestly be fine and able to make his way back to ponyville quite quickly."
Pinkie just slowly nodded her head and looked over at Onyx and saw that he was truly not worried about Spike being in the Everfree forest on his own. Onyx watched as Spike was carried away by the balloon because it was honestly kind of funny. He was trying to remember what had happened in this episode. Still, all he was getting was Spike trying to help Applejack for some reason. When he was helping Applejack, he had made a mess of a lot of things. He spoke in thought because he was trying to remember why Spike ended up helping Applejack with her day-to-day affairs. "He should be perfectly fine because I know Zekora and Applejack are near the Everfree forest and should be picked up pretty quickly."
Pinkie nodded her head while she looked over in thought and could not help but admit that Onyx's wings looked extremely elegant. His hair was equally impressive. Princess Luna and Celestia's hair matched their elements. Onyx was the color of granite but with what looked like Runes floating to the surface of his hair and fading away. His wings were just as black as his fur, which was a truly interesting contrast to the colors of the various Princesses. His feathers, though, were extremely sharp instead of fluffy like the Princesses. In fact, she had asked him for a feather, and Onyx had given it over. When she had tested its sharpness, and was surprised that it could cut through various food products.
As they ate their lunch, Onyx was slowly starting to remember this episode, and Applejack would end up saving Spike from various beasts of the Everfree forest. He hummed because as long as he does not interfere, the episode should be about the same until he is rescued by Applejack.
---Time Skip few hours---
Onyx watched as Spike was led back to Ponyville by an exasperated Applejack. Spike was watching her quite closely compared to normal. Onyx hummed and looked over Spike because it looked like there were no problems with his body because that was worrying him, in all honesty. Onyx was simply happy that there were no problems with Spike. He was wondering what was going to happen next.
Onyx hummed and looked over at them, heading towards the Apple Acres and looking at the treehouse because he honestly did not remember why Twilight did not get Spike back. He started heading towards the Library because this was something that might have been shown really simply and probably was not more than a few scenes. As he entered the Library, he saw Twilight looking over a book and reading it with a stack right next to her, with each of them having a couple thousand pages each. He spoke up, seeing if she was even paying attention to her surroundings. "Hello, Twilight, I was wondering if you could help me at all?"
Twilight let out a hum in greeting, then grunted out a question at the person talking to her. Onyx nodded his head because that told him all that he needed to know about how this episode really happened. He walked up to her and poked her in the side in curiosity, watching her bounce in shock. She quickly turned and was about to scold whoever it was that was bothering her when she saw Onyx and wondered why he was interrupting her. She spoke quickly and smiled at Onyx. "Hello, Onyx, what can I do for you?"
"Just want to make sure you are okay. We have not seen you all morning, and Spike was outside on a hot air balloon by himself." Onyx spoke with worry in his tone of voice while he looked her over in thought. Twilight blinked and considered the various questions that Onyx was asking her and could not help but wonder what Spike was doing on a hot air balloon. She looked up and smiled and gestured to the mass pile of books that she had to go through. Onyx smiled and started explaining what had happened with Spike and that Applejack had rescued him from a wood creature, most likely a timberwolf. "So, we were just making sure you were okay because you did not show up to greet Spike when he came out of the Everfree."
Twilight nods her head and thought about what had happened and looked up in thought because, in all honesty, there was nothing she could do right now. She hummed slowly and looked over Onyx and decided to ask him if he could look after Spike so she could get this reading done as fast as possible. Twilight spoke and smiled at her boyfriend. "Do you think you could look after Spike for me, Onyx?"
Onyx slowly nodded his head and smiled, and pulled her into a hug. Twilight was confused before hugging back and blinked in shock when Onyx pulled her into a deep kiss. Onyx could only smile happy and picked her up by her buttocks and pushed deeper in the kiss. Twilight eyes slowly closed and wrapped her arms around his back, and moaned softly. Onyx slowly set her down and smiled happily, and spoke with a breathless tone of voice. "I will look after Spike this weekend because it looks like you are going to be very busy."
Twilight panted while looking up at Onyx in thought because that was a complete surprise for her. Twilight was super confused about the kiss and the casual grouping. She looked at her books in confusion and sat there panting in confusion. Onyx slowly left the Library and smirked at the causal molestation that he was able to get away with. Twilight slowly started reading before thinking about the kiss and wondering when she decided that it was alright for Onyx to get away with things like that.
---Time Skip near the end of the episode---
Onyx was slowly speaking with Applejack about the things that had been happing with Spike and the way he had been acting and could not help but admit that Spike was slightly weird. He hummed in confusion about the fact that Spike felt such a level of honor debt, but he had never acted that way before. He decided to ask. "What on earth was Spike thinking with the way he was acting."
Applejack could only shrug because this was entirely out of character from the way Spike usually is. She looked over the land and watched her sister run around excitedly. She took a peek at Onyx and hummed in thought, and was wondering about something. "So what are we going to be doing this weekend, Onyx?"
"I was thinking that we could go for a hike on one of the trails and then have a lunch date as a picnic." Onyx answered her while he looked her over before pulling her into a hug. Applejack just smirked and wiggled against him, teasing him about the way he was acting. He pulled her into a deep kiss, letting her know how he feels about her. Applejack could only moan softly into the kiss and smirk up at him shyly, and slowly pulled him along to an area that they could get some privacy. Onyx decided to ask because they were moving away from everyone. "Where are we going, Applejack?"
"Well, there is this little lake nearby that no one in ponyville knows about. I figured we could take a dip in the lake together after all we need to cool off." Applejack teased him slightly and slowly ran her hands up and down his arms. As they walked down to the lake, they did not notice that Applebloom was spying on them. Onyx looked over at Applejack as they made pretty good time to the lake, wondering how she was.
"So how are you now that Spike is leaving you alone?" Onyx questioned her while wrapping an arm around her shoulder.
"Feeling quite good, actually." Applejack smirked while snuggling herself deeper into his chest and watching the passing greenery.
As the two arrived at the lake, Onyx realized that he did not have any swimming gear but decided that he could probably make do with his boxers. Before he could speak up and point this out to Applejack, he watched her slowly strip out of her clothing, leaving her standing there completely naked. She spoke up, teasing Onyx. "Well, are you going to join me, Onyx?"
Onyx could only sigh and start stripping as well. He spoke aloud in what sounded like false annoyance. "The things I do for beautiful women."
