In the 3 years that have passed since Celestia and Luna took control of the griffin kingdoms, Many things have changed. Such as Twilight Sparkle becoming an Alicorn, who saw that coming right? The next shocker was Discord becoming somewhat of a good guy because of the friendship he had formed with Fluttershy. But that’s actually more of a buyable story then Twilight being an Alicorn.
Anyway, griffins began to migrate over to Equestria in droves, mostly as refuges because a deadly virus known as Slimy Doom had begun to run rampant, infecting most of the griffins game animals and decimating entire towns and villages.
The tragedy of a deadly contagion spreading across the griffin kingdoms was only part of the problem. A strange bipedal monster was roaming the griffin country side, eating everything in sight, and spreading the Slimy Doom infection.
In the early years Celestia and Luna had spent a large amount of resources to try and stop the spread, but they couldn’t stop the main reason for the contamination, no matter what they tried they couldn’t contain the beast. Magic was proving to be very ineffective and mostly served to annoy the strange beast. Even the Elements of Harmony didn’t work, it was like they refused to work outside of the lands of Equestria. They had to stick to mass evacuations after Twilight and her friends failed to banish the beast.
If Celestia and Luna knew where the beast came from they were keeping quiet about it. The only thing the populace at large knows is that the beast most likely escaped from Tartarus somehow.
With the massive influx of Griffins coming to Equestria the housing markets boomed and farms had to find ways to increase productivity in order to feed all the new mouths. Celestia and Luna had to fund multiple projects across Equestria in order to allow the griffins safe places to stay.
Even though they couldn’t hunt outside designated areas, such as the Everfree Forest, Ghastly Gorge, and the Badlands. Many of the griffins were happy to know they could just find food around the corner at a store, in trade for either some work or some useless gold coins.
Griffins had little use for money in their kingdom, As most food and supplies were scavenged for themselves, the idea of having large amounts of it in one area for trade, was new to many of the griffins that lived outside of large griffin colonies.
There were indeed some troubles, but after 3 years things had finally started to settle down and the ponies had become used to their new griffin neighbors. With the griffins learning they couldn’t hunt things like cows or pigs because most were pets or friends of ponies, things went a lot smoother. The 1st few months were really rough because many griffins didn’t know that.
The fishing industry boomed and no longer became a sport, but a lively hood. The Griffins had Fluttershy to thank for that. When a griffin refuge came and tried to hunt some of her animals, she defended it and offered the griffin a fish, because you know, she reasoned griffins were part bird, and her hawks liked to eat fish along with the cats, Since a griffin was pretty much both, why wouldn’t they eat a fish? Apparently griffins never even thought about eating fish before that. Seafood had become to rise in popularity among the griffins.
On a side note, Hippogiffs started being born. When a mare and griffin paired their offspring were hippogriffs. Pony griffin hybrids. Body, mane, and back legs of a pony. With the wings, claws and head of a griffin. They resembled Pegasus and even had the Pegasi ability to manipulate clouds and weather.
When a stallion would pair with a griffin, for some reason a hippogriff wouldn’t be born, but instead a Leoequus, as they grew to be called, was born. The body, mane, and front legs of a lion, but the head, neck, back legs and tail of a pony. They didn’t have wings and mostly resembled earth ponies and even held their natural affinity for plants and raw physical strength.
For some unknown reason the genders of the parents determined the child that would be born. Even if the mother or father was a unicorn, neither came out with magical ability. It always came out as a hippogriff, or leoequus. No reports of a griffin unicorn hybrid have been reported as of yet, but all of the hippogriffs and leoequus’s have yet to be older than 2 years old. There is still more to come from this odd combination of griffins and ponies living together.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rainbow Dash had just gotten a letter from the Wonderbolts Academy explaining about her recent placement after extensive evaluations from her training.
She made it to the 1st runner ups table and as an extra during large shows. Not exactly a lead like Spit Fire, but it was a damn good start.
Rainbow Dash flew down to the library as Twilight had yet to be assigned to a different place, and whether she would rule over a kingdom was still unclear as of now. When she flew through the door to tell Twilight the good news, She saw Applejack there as well, and told them both of her letter.
“Woo wee Rainbow Dash, You finally made the front line bench for the Wonderbolts! I say we celebrate!”
“Aww yeah! Don’t forget though, Twilight also got her crown back from that strange other world recently!”
“Yes, I suppose we do have a lot to celebrate don’t we? Even though Princess Celestia’s party was fun, there was a lack of Cider...”
“Ah hear ya Twi, the Princesses need to experience my cider during their fancy parties, Ah’m sure it would make things a tad more interesting.”
“Hey when can we get the celebration started?” Applejack looked out the window and up at the sky, it was starting to get dark, but their was still time.
“Well, I reckon we could use the 2ed barn. My brother told me he wanted to use the 1st barn for a guys night out.” Applejack had built a second barn to store all the extra apples they had been asked to grow for the griffins. The trees hadn’t matured yet, but with a second barn finished, they were ready for the extra apples.
“Awesome! I’ll go tell Pinkie, Rarity and Fluttershy! We’ll meet you guys there!” Rainbow Dash flew off in an excited rush to gather the rest of their group. Twilight and Applejack just laughed and sighed.
“Its good ta she her so energetic.” Twilight nodded at Applejacks comment
“Yeah, I still remember when Fluttershy told me she found Rainbow sobbing next to a small pile of goo.” Applejack and Twilight sighed to themselves thinking of the past
“Anywho Twi, lets get going, knowing Rainbow Dash, she’ll of got everyone else half way there by now.” Twilight giggled then told Spike she was heading out with the girls and would probably be back in the morning.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Big Mac set a barrel of Cider up in the second barn for them since all of the Apple Family Cider was held in the 1st barn. After he jabbed in the spout and the beautiful hissing sound of gas escaping was heard, Rainbow and Pinkie began to lick their lips in anticipation. Big Mac just nodded his head and walked out of the 2ed barn back toward his guys night out in the 1st barn.
“Thanks Big Mac!” Said all of the girls in unison as they began to fill mugs. Big Mac just silently nodded his head and left.
The girls each took turns downing mugs of cider one after another until they were all plastered drunk. Then the drunk conversation topics began. As Rarity finished drinking her mug, she made a passive comment to Rainbow Dash.
“Darling, now that you're a wonderbolt, are you going to settle down anytime soon?” Rainbow Dash became flustered. She just mumbled as she continued to drink from her mug
“Now, if we know anything about Rainbow Dash here, its that she likes her stallion, a little less stallion-e...” Rainbow sputtered some of the cider back into the mug at Applejacks comment.
“I’m not a filly fooler...” the other girls just went oooh
“Quit foolin Dashie, we all know you ain’t one for the stallions. But that’s alright, we don’t mind.” said Applejack as she sipped some more from her mug.
“I’m not a 100% filly fooler! I’m just Bi! I just didn’t want any foals until I became a Wonderbolt is all... you believe me, right Twilight?” Twilight just looked away as she sipped some more from her mug.
“I was pretty sure...” Rainbow looked over to Fluttershy, her best friend since forever.
“Fluttershy?” Fluttershy just hid behind her mane and whispered.
“I owe spike 10 bits...”
“Seriously guys! You all thought I swung that way just because of a few times with Lyra and Cloud Chaser?!”
“Don’t forget Lotus...” mumbled Rarity as she sipped some more of her cider. Rainbow Dash grumbled loudly before shouting
“I’ll Prove it then! I’ll show you I’m just Bi and not a full fledged carpet muncher!” They watched her walk out of the barn, then Pinkie began to chuckle
“Hehe, she said carpet muncher...” the other girls began to laugh and drink, completely forgetting that Rainbow Dash had left to prove to them she wasn’t just a filly fooler.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“We’ll see you later Big Mac, I gotta get Thunder Lane home, you sure you're gonna be ok?” Big Mac just watched Time Turner and Thunder Lane leave as he slowly blinked, due to the large amount of Cider they had just finished ingesting for guys night.
“Eeyup.” They nodded back toward Big Mac as they left. Big Mac turned around to lock up the barn when he saw Rainbow Dash approach him with a rather agitated look on her face.
“Something Ah can help ya with Rainbow?” Rainbow just walked up to him and looked him in the eyes.
“You, me, barn, now.” Big Mac looked around and didn’t see anypony around and shrugged. Being one of the few Ponyville studs, there's was only one word that came to mind for a situation like this.
“Eeyup.” He walked into the barn followed by Rainbow who closed the barn door behind them.
Big Mac, and the rest of the mane 6 awoke that morning to the sound of a barn door crashing open. The town was awoken by a sonic rainboom shortly after. It was a very eventful morning.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Back in a completely different dimension of time and space.
“So we just walk through this here shimmering door thingy then?” The 4 large figures just nodded their heads at the small orange pony carrying a head upon her back.
“Well if that’s it then, take us in girl!” as the small orange pony began to walk in the large dark shadowy figure swooped forward and plucked the head off her back. She stopped walking and looked back to see what was wrong.
“Continue, little pony, your dad and I have some things to discuss, First.”
“Go on Scoots, I’ll be along shortly...” Scoots nodded her head and jumped through.
“What the fuck do you want Umbra?”
"The rest of our payment of course.”
“Oh, right...” Umbra reached his shadowy hand into the talking heads skull “...Gaah! Why does it have to hurt!?”
“Yes, the taking of emotions and memories can be painful... The more it hurts, they better they taste though.” Umbra licked his lips with a purple tongue as he pulled out 4 small orbs. “Now for the other part of the deal.”
Umbra tossed 3 of the 4 orbs to the other demi gods and placed his own inside of a bag hanging from his hip. He then pulled out a small spiked cube and brought it up to his lips. He blew some black smoke over the cube and it became translucent. Umbra then smashed the cube into the head he was holding.
“Why does everything have to hurt!?”
“Because Merry, I like being a Dick.” Umbra then laughed as he overhand threw Merry into the shimmering portal thingy.
“Zamut!” Zamut, the black fiend pony with a fire orange mane walked into the room shortly after Merry was disposed of. “Go make preperations, You know what will happen to you if dies too soon right?”
“Yes Umbra. He won’t die until you are satisfied.” Umbra licked his lips and chuckled
"And when will I be satisfied Zamut?" Zamut released a sigh
"Never." Umbra grew a wicked smile upon his lips.
“Good, hehe, I can’t wait to taste the delightful suffering he shall live through.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Applejack was at Twilights place around mid after noon later that day after nursing a bit of a hangover.
“Big Mac won’t tell me what happened. He keeps saying nothing, but I know he’s lying. And I can’t get a hold a Rainbow Dash.”
“Well, I say just let them alone. As long as nothing is wrong I don’t see why we should pry Applejack.” Applejack just ‘hmmed’ to herself for a moment.
“Well if’n you say so Twi. I just hope nothing bad happened to make Rainbow run away like that.”
“Applejack, I’m sure nothing happened. Rainbow probably just forgot to feed tank or something, you know how much she loves that tortoise.”
“I suppose your right Twi. Ah’ma head on back to the farm then. Someponies gotta fix that barn door any who.” Twilight just nodded at Applejack as she left. As soon as the door closed Twilight got a nervous look on her face
“Rainbow couldn’t of, Shoot...” Twilight took a deep breath. “... Spike! I think Fluttershy owes you 10 bits!” Spike came running down the stairs with a book in his hands
“Haha! I knew it!”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Three pretty normal weeks passed by, normal for everyone except Rainbow Dash that is.
Her heat cycle was late, late by 2 and a half weeks to be exact. She had passed it off at 1st thinking it was just going to come late, but it never came. It couldn’t of come early without her noticing, could it?
She was in a bit of a panic of course, because the only stallion she had been with was Big Mac, and they were both pretty drunk at the time. It’s not exactly how she pictured things going at all.
She figured she would settle down with some Wonderbolt stallion and they would live happily ever after. But she was stuck with Big Macintosh, Applejacks silent older brother, who while easy on the eyes, didn’t seem like much of a conversaonalist, and plain ol’ boring.
Putting the foal up for adoption wasn’t an option... She couldn’t live with herself if he or she somehow ended up like Scootaloo did.
There was only 1 thing to do in this situation... Wait another week for the heat cycle and hope it came. After that... confront MacIntosh about the current situation.
...A week passed and still nothing. She decided to stop by the Apple farm around lunch time. She normally did to get a free lunch anyway, it wouldn’t seem out of place... even though its been a month. Granny Smith was always happy to feed any pony that came by for some famous Apple family pie.
Rainbow Dash flew down to the farm and knocked on the front door. Applebloom was the one to answer it. She had been helping out around the farm more ever since she got her cutie mark.
It was a hammer and an apple. It confused everypony as to what it meant until Apple Bloom said she had been creating works of art and furniture with apples and wood from apple trees in her spare time. By a sheer accident Sweetie Belle had found a way to make an apple permanently shiny and healthy looking, the only downside was it wasn’t edible. So Apple Bloom found a way to use them.
“Well hey Rainbow Dash! Yer just in time for lunch you are! It’ll be ready in a few minutes. Applejack and Big Mac outta be by soon as well. Take a seat!” Rainbow walked into the house shyly behind Bloom and closed the door behind her.
“Thanks Apple Bloom. So uh... How are things?” Apple Bloom responded back nonchilantly
“Things have been pretty well, even though Applejack’s mad at Big Mac about lying to her, something she don’t know yet, but she’s sure its important or what ever. Big Mac keeps telling her its no big deal though. Other than their little spat, every things been pretty normal, Granny Smith has been sleeping a lot more lately though...”
“How old is granny smith anywho?”
“No pony knows for sure, but if that story she told at parents day was 100% true, then she must be around 200. Most ponies only live to be 150 though. I bet all the apples and Zap Apples keep her healthy!”
“Must be...” The door was suddenly opened with Applejack talking loudly to who was presumably Big Mac.
“I’ll find out what happened in that barn sooner or later Mac!”
“Ah keep telling ya, nothing happen...” Big Mac stopped speaking when they walked into the dining room and saw Rainbow Dash sitting at the table with a shy smile on her face.
“Hey guys, is this uh... a bad time?” Applejack looked between Big Mac and Rainbow Dash, she could feel the awkwardness, it was so thick it could probably be cut with a knife.
“Not at all Rainbow. You here for lunch? Its been awhile...”
“Yeah, it uh, has hasn’t it? I’ve just been busy is all you know?”
“Mhmm... Well lets get the Grub finished up Apple Bloom. We’ll leave these two alone for a bit...” Applejack left with Apple Bloom. After they left Rainbow Dash bit her lip and looked at big Mac who was doing his best to sit there without feeling to awkward.
“Big Mac, there's something I gotta tell you...”
Big Mac became overjoyed at those words, the words he was hoping to hear were something along the lines of, Best friends with benefits, a couple, biggest dick ever and she wanted more, some male dream fantasy type thing. But then it all shattered by the next words from her mouth.
“...I’m 95% sure I'm pregnant, and the foal is yours.” Rainbow just looked at Big Mac while biting her lip and blushing. it wasn't easy saying something like that.
“EeNope, Nope nope nope.” Big Mac got up and began to walk to the living room. Rainbow Dash became upset that he was taking it this way.
“Take Responsibility for what you did to me!”
“EeNope!” Applejack and Apple Bloom came out to see what all the shouting was about.
“What in tarnation is going on ou...” Applejack was interrupted by an angered and flustered Rainbow Dash
“Big Mac got me Pregnant and won’t take responsibility!” Applejack was shocked and appalled at what her brother did, while Apple Bloom put on her thinking cap about the situation at hand.
“What?!” Applejack began to join in the chase of Big Mac around the house.
“What in Tarnation is all the ruckus down here for?” Granny Smith slowly trotted down the stairs, it was completely obvious she was old by how she was walking. Apple Bloom went up to help her down the stairs.
“Well granny, it would seem Big Mac got Rainbow Dash Pregnant at some point, but he doesn’t wanna stallion up for the responsibility.”
“Is that so? Be a dear and help your old granny over yonder closer to them will ya Bloom?” Apple Bloom happily obliged until she realized she had help put her into the path of the oncomeing ponies running around.
“Hoold it right there Little Mac!” Big MacIntosh stopped dead in his tracks in front of Granny Smith while Rainbow and Applejack just slammed into his back. He didn’t even budge from their impact.
“What Kinda Apple Stallion are you? Apples don’t run from responsibility, they embrace it!”
“But Granny...”
“No buts Mr! Unless you got one I need to whip back inta shape! I ain’t too old ta knock some sense inta ya!” Big Mac turned around defeated and looked at Rainbow Dash.
“I’ll take responsibility Rainbow...” Rainbow became flustered from the sudden turn of events, she was left speechless. Granny just smiled at them
“Welcome to the Family Rainbow...” Granny Smith stood up and began to walk into the kitchen, when she got to the doorway she turned around and her eyes lit up at the sight of Rainbow Dash. “...Well howdy do Rainbow! You here for lunch?”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
8 months have passed since Rainbow told Mac the news. It took Granny Smith about 2 months to finally remember Rainbow was going to be part of the family now. Rainbow hadn’t gotten used to the idea of living with the Apple family quite yet, it still seemed odd to her. So she just pushed her cloud house so that it sat next to the Apple house, but in the sky.
Rainbow Dash would switch off between sleeping in her own cloud house and in the Apple family house. Suprizeingly the Apple family house had several rooms open and available. They had turned a guest room into a new room for the foal. Apple Bloom had taken to calling Rainbow Sis. And the Main six were baffled that Rainbow was actually straight, or Bi as she put it.
Rainbow had finally started to show now being 8 months in, only 3 more to go. They had decided to do a Doctor visit to be on the safe side. Hopefully one of those fancy spells could tell them what was on the way.
“Filly or colt?” asked Big Mac as the unicorn Docter finished casting his little spell.
“Both actually...”
“What, twins?!” Shouted Rainbow.
“Yes twins, one is smaller than the other and I’m not sure why. We don’t have very many spells for these kind of situations because, well, Nothing bad ever really happens, at least not in this part of Equestria. I’m sure its nothing to be worried about.” A black mare with a fire orange mane walked in wearing a nurse outfit.
“The Doctor is very capable Ms. Dash and Mr. Um, Mac?”
“No need for the Mr. Nurse, Just Mac is fine.” the nurse nodded her head.
“Of course, but you have nothing to worry about.” the nurse just smiled at them before leaving.
“That new nurse of ours sure is a strange one... Anyway, Like I said before, they should be fine, but you have two young ones along the way, so don’t forget your eating for three now Ms. Dash.”
As they were walking back to Sweet Apple Acres, Big Mac was watching the sky in thought.
“What are you thinking about Mac?”
“Mmm, just that I’m gonna have to set up another room... You think of any names yet Dashie?”
“Well, I thought I did, but now its going to be a name for a filly and a colt...” Big Mac chuckled
“I’m sure you’ll find something, and I have a few suggestions as well ya know.” Rainbow lifted an eye at Mac
“Like what?”
“Oh Ah dunno, how about Zap Apple?” Rainbow Dash just began to laugh.
“For the last time Mac, they aren’t gonna be named after some kind of apple. It’s gotta be cooler then that.” Big Mac just sighed
“I don’t think the name Aero Dynamite sounds very good either...” Big Mac was hit in the back of the head with a flying hoof.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was time, 11 months have past and Rainbow was beginning to have serious contractions. Big Mac had gone into a panic and rushed her to the Ponville Hospital inside an apple cart because he couldn’t find anything else nearby at the time.
After they had arrived, Big Mac’s panicked attitude got them help immediately and they were given a room. They occupied the room for 2 days as it wasn’t quite time yet, and Big Mac’s panic was a little too much at the time. Rainbow however chuckled at Big Macs panic after they had settled into the room.
“You big Lug, I didn’t think you cared that much...” Big MacIntosh took a deep breath as he sighed.
“At 1st Ah really didn’t, but after Granny Smith scolded me and Ah began to take things seriously. You grew on me Dashie, I can’t quite explain it, but It just feels weird to not having you around now.” Rainbow Dash smiled as she laid back in the bed resting from the last couple contractions she had.
“I’m not quite sure on names just yet, but I know they both need to have Star in them. Because they are gonna be the stars of our lives. That much is for sure.” Big Mac Smiled at that.
Big Mac never saw himself as being a father so soon, but it was happening and he had to deal with it, the last 11 months he spent with Rainbow changed his viewpoint on her and raising up two foals. It made it easier when he realized Applejack and Apple Bloom would be around to help at times.
“They sure will be Dashie, Star sounds like a great start, but they can’t both be named Star.”
“I know that! I’ll just figure the second half after they're born... you know, depending who’s a Pegasus or if they both are, or maybe a unicorn... They need to improve those spells so its not a total guessing game.” Big Mac chuckled
“Eeyup, the smaller one is probably going to be a filly unicorn, that’s just my guess.” Rainbow raised an eyebrow at that and retorted with her own
“Oh? And the bigger one is going to a big strapping earth pony colt like you huh?”
“Eeyup!” They both laughed softly before Rainbow made a funny face as her water broke. Big Mac saw the water and jumped back into panic mode
“Nurse?! Water?! Babeh’s?!” He ran out of the room shouting the words ‘Babeh’s a coming’ until several nurses ran into the room followed after by a doctor and Big Mac who was out of breath.
After the nurses and doctors calmed Big Mac down the delivery’s began to take place, after a few hours of labor.
“Push Ms. Dash! I Can see the head!” Rainbow was pushing and screaming out Big Macs name in anger
“Big Mac you son of a bitch! You did this to me!” Big Mac was turning pale as he was witnessing the ‘miracle’ of birth.
After a few minutes the Doctor handed a female Pegasus foal to the nurse next to him. She was a deep blue color and her mane was black with blue stripes. The nurses just looked at her with astonishment.
“Oh my word...” Big Mac and Rainbow were concerned by the nurses reaction.
“What? What’s wrong?” Big Mac was ready to enter panic mode again
“Is something wrong with our little filly?”
“Nothing is wrong its just... her wings are so big for her just being born!” Rainbow Dash chuckled
“Heh, that’s my little Star Rider...” Big Mac smiled and nodded at the name.
“We still have another to deliver here Ms. Dash, so start pushing again.” Rainbow groaned and looked over to Big Mac
“I’ll get you for this later you know...” Big Mac gulped and hoped she would forget when everything was over.
“I can see the head Ms. Dash! Keep pushing!” After a few moments the doctor held a pink earth pony foal, the foal had a black mane with pink stripes. The doctor looked at the foal curiously in his hooves.
“Thats’s funny I thought for sure it was going to be a colt and filly twins... wait he is a colt...hmm?” The Doctor furrowed his brows and looked at the foal in his arms again, the foal was so thin. Then the doctor opened his eyes wide and placed an ear against the foals chest.
“Nurse! Alert the Pediatric Ward now! And get Dr. Hearts in here NOW!” Big Mac and Rainbow were both tossed into a panic at the doctor's reaction.
“What’s wrong Doc? What’s going on?” Big Mac saw his little foal and his heart sunk, he didn’t know earth ponies could be that skinny.
“We’ll do everything we can, Just stay calm ok?” said one of the nurse’s. Rainbow wasn’t going to sit still at what was happening, she sat up in the bed and tried to get out
“What’s wrong with one of my foals?!” Rainbow shouted. A nurse and Big Mac did their best to keep her on balance and prevent her from falling, the nurse was trying to get her back into the bed.
“Ms. Dash, please you need to rest!” As Rainbow Dash tried to fight the nurse and Big Mac. She saw her little pink foal. He looked so frail, like a candle in the wind. She stopped fighting them and went limp in Big Mac’s and the Nurses hooves.
“Is he going to be ok?” asked Rainbow as she saw them place her pink foal upon a small gurney with 3 different unicorns casting various spells on him as he was wheeled out.
“Just... get some rest Ms. Dash, please.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The rest of the main six showed up at the hospital later in hopes of seeing the cute new little foals. When they found out that the second one was in critical condition, they all became depressed at the news. The only upside to the news was that the little Pegasus filly was extremely healthy, and was born with an extremely powerful set of wings.
After a week of testing and various spells the doctors were able to stabilize the little colts condition. The doctors were baffled as to why his body was so weak. Outward and inward there was nothing wrong with his body. But for some reason from the neck down his body seemed to just be giving up. One of the doctors came to speak to Rainbow Dash, who had stayed in the hospital for the entire week.
“Ms. Dash, we are still baffled as to why his body is so weak, we can’t find any signs of a neuromuscular disease, however we did find out that he has what’s called Osteogenesis imperfecta, or brittle bone disease.”
“Well, what, Is he going to live Doctor?” The doctor looked back, then back to Rainbow Dash and the rest of the main six.
“Honestly Ms. Dash, I don’t know how he's survived up until now. He was born with several broken bones and wasn’t breathing at the time of birth. But for some reason, he's still alive...” the doctor chuckled. “... and kicking, he kicked a nurse recently. He has an incredibly strong will to live I’d say. A few more weeks of observation with intensive care and he should be able to go home with you.” Rainbow Dash released a sigh hearing that both of her foals were going to be ok. She had been unable to sleep well for the whole week.
“I just thought of a name for him...” the doctor raised an eye brow
“Oh? And what would that be Ms. Dash?”
“Daring Star, because he wont give up no matter the odds, like Daring Doo.” The Doctor nodded his head as he walked over to the desk and brought out some paper work to write the name down.
