 Chapter 5: An Explanation 


"Thank you for these gifts." Amy said putting up her gifts.

"Your welcome Amy!" Pinkie said bouncing around then all the sudden she stopped and had a thoughtful look on her face.

"What?" Amy asked unsure as to why the bouncy pink mare had suddenly stopped being bouncy.

"Well there's been this question that I've been wondering about..." She started to say.

"Yes?" Amy asked wanting to know what the question that had stopped the bouncy mare.

"Well actually it's more than one. The first one is, who is the foals father?" Pinkie asked. Amy was quiet for a minuet or two.

"He was an exceptional changeling. Have you ever heard of the Civil Changeling War?" Amy said. The six ponies shook their heads wondering what that was. "The Civil Changeling War or as some know it as CCW, was a civil war between the changelings. Some of the changelings did not want to take over Equestria. They felt that through diplomatic ways all of us changelings would have plenty of food. They had a plan, we would go to the princesses and we would make peace. My husband was one of those changelings. In fact he was the one who came up with the plan! When I went to the meeting for this side of the changelings it was love at first sight. My heart soared past Celestia's sun and Luna's moon. Most ponies don't think changelings have hearts but that suspicion is wrong. The changelings like Queen Chrysalis have hearts they just don't acknowledge that, and their hearts are as black as Luna's night. And he felt the same way about me. We soon were wedded after we dated for a few months.-" Amy explained.

"Don't you think that was a little fast?" Rainbow asked.

"And that's comin' from a pegasus who's special talent is goin' fast." Applejack said.

"Yes. And it was love!" Rarity added. "Now please continue Amy." She said.

"I soon found myself pregnant, and we were ecstatic. We had always wanted a family." Amy started to say tears building up in her eyes. "But, he..." She started to say but she couldn't hold the tears back anymore. She started to sob uncontrollably. The six ponies rushed to comfort her. Fluttershy was the first to reach Amy. After a long time Amy started to feel better and continued her story. "He *Sniffle* fought in the *Sniffle* war, and *Sniffle* died fighting. *Sniffle* I know he *Sniffle* had always *Sniffle* said if he had to *Sniffle* go down he *Sniffle* wanted to go down *Sniffle* fighting. But he never got *Sniffle* to see his children." Amy said before starting to cry again.
