Rainbow Dash isn’t a traditional mare. She didn’t care to learn how to bake cookies when she was little, or help her mother cook, and never wanted a doll to play with. She was a tomcolt from the moment she was born, acting more like a colt each day. While other little fillies played with their dolls and talked about secret crushes, she was challenging colts to races and beating them.

So when Big Mac moves in with her, how is she supposed to tell the farm pony who was used to home cooked meals that she didn’t know how to cook?

Thanks to,

Big Mac has always been seen as the one stallion in Ponyville that always seemed ready to be a father. He had raised A.J. and Bloom almost by himself, and always has time for the CMC. But is the large stallion ready to be a father? Mac himself doesn't know as he stares into the crib that holds his son. Is he ready to be a father? And if so, what kind of father could he be?

Thank you to Jszellmer as always for edits, and a thank you I never thought I would have the plesure of saying, but thank you Mr Bronius Maximus for his edits and suggestions, leanred a lot from you bro, and thank you for his and the permission of ROBBERGON of DeviantArt for this amazing picture!

And a super special thank you to CptBrony for the amazing moral support!

This is also a belated birthday gift to Jake the Army Guy since apparently it is illegal to try to break into Hub and make MacDash cannon.

It's Hearts and Hooves Day in Ponyville again and Rainbow Dash is alone again this year, but not from a lack of trying. She had set her sights on the non-talkative brother of her best friend? Will she find a way to get the Earth Pony's attention?

Many side pairings in this story not going to tag them all just yet but there is SoarinJack, PinkieCaramel, and of course MacDash. Please no flames and if you think you can help me improve please message me.

Thank you jszellmer for the edits, tomColt15 for the cover art, and KarmaDash for bouncing ideas around.

Relationships are hard. It can be the bond between friends, the blood held in common with family, or the love between lovers. All are equal complexity and take time and work from all ponies to maintain. Sometimes that breaks down and a pony has to find away to come away as unscathed as possible. Scoots faces such an issue. Meanwhile Rainbow Dash must confront her own fears and come to understand how connections can change. Mac just goes with the flow and tries to hold everything together as stoically as possible, but even the most even tempered pony can be driven a little mad by a silly thing called love and its compactions.

After a night of drinking, Big Macintosh and Rainbow Dash spend the evening together, however, neither can remember what exactly happened. While Rainbow brushes it off as if it was no big deal, Big Mac can't shake a strange feeling about that evening.

Soarin is a dead stallion! When Big Mac finds out that his sister is pregnant there is no force in all of Equestria that can keep the farmer from killing the Wonderbolt. Or is there?

This story has no connection to Slow to Realize which will have a new chapter soon. There are multiple pairings in this story as well, MacDash, SoarinJack, and CaraPie (Pinkie Pie Caramel). Please enjoy and leave a comment!

Big Macintosh the apple families stoic stallion. The heartthrob of every mare in Ponyville not a filly fooler, has his eyes set on a lavender bookish unicorn mare. Yet in his mind a prismatic mane, a cyan coat and wings, and magenta eyes are clouding his judgment. Still he proceeds to bear his heart to the unicorn, only to have it shoved right back in his face. He strikes up a consoling conversation with the pegasus and over the course of Winter Wrap Up the two draw ever closer. This is a sequel to Soarin's Pink Pie

Big Mac has finally worked up the courage to propose to Rainbow Dash, and now the first wedding of a Element of Harmony is about to take place! Will everything go according to plan? Or will forces keep this pairing apart?
