Ivory and Japooter

by EggNBacon

Family Love

Ivory had never found out about his adoption from the two lovers Red Stripe and Zappy Coffee, in fact for ages he had never put together that mare and mare cannot make a foal so simply. Simply, that is, not impossible. It was on a misty morning when Ivory was in his bed that he was told important news from Zappy. The colt had awoken from a strange dream, one which had left his mouth slightly ajar when it came to arriving back to reality. Before this, the room had been as silent as a sleeping hamster. Nothing was out of the ordinary, the windows viewing the outside world were shut from the blinds which cowered in front of them, the door was left slightly open - as was the routine when a young pony would want quick access to their mother in dark times - and there in the minute bed lay the most docile blue colt in the universe and beyond, simply sleeping like he had done in the household for the past 10 or so years. Everything, was still. This was until the colt awoke in fright and let off the faintest scream in all of Equestria's history. The nightmare he had endured was enough to make the strongest of stallions shiver slightly, but the scream was faint, for young Ivory knew that something so horrible surely had to be a dream. Yet, when gasping for air while sitting up in his bed, the pony felt something was truthful about what seemed to him the eternal slumber he had just endured. While still regaining sense of what just happened and where he is, the house remained silent. The colt viewed around the room, hoping he was not still inside the nightmare as he tried to find anything in his room which didn't add up, leading to another attempt at escaping the dream's clutches. There was, however, nothing he could see which out of the ordinary. His toys from the loving family which care for him are scattered on the shelves and the floor, every one of them taken into consideration for Ivory's choice of style and love for his parents. As soon as he was sure that this was the reality he was used to, the colt threw himself out of the bed and then traversed the battlefield which was the toy scattered bedroom. He was still not quite with it, as usual for him in the early hours. What Ivory could make out, however, was the sound of a screech in an excited tone from what seemed to be his mother, laughing hysterically along with it. The little blue pegasus' curiosity took the best of him, leading him to find the reason for the ecstatic behaviour.

Stepping forth into the place where Zappy was situated, Ivory couldn't help but notice a frantic and joyful dance before him from the clearly entertained mother of his in front of him. Her horn was holding something up, as proven by the glow emitting from the the unicorn's origin of magic. Something long and narrow was in her magic's grasp, causing Ivory's curiosity to get the best of him,

"Mum," the colt started, eager to know what is with the dancing. Taken aback slightly, the mother looks at the colt with an even more excited grin.

"Ivory!" Zappy jumped on top of the young colt, not enough force to harm him, but enough to take him by surprise. "I have the most unbelievable news!"

"Could you tell me what it is," he paused for a second, letting in a bit of air after the surprise which was the jump. "without sitting on top of me?" There was more concern in his voice than agitation. Zappy let out a small gasp of shock.

"Sorry," she spoke quickly as she let Ivory get back onto his hooves. "I just found out that I am pregnant!" By the end of the sentence, Zappy was once again flailing around the room once again in an uncontrollable style. Ivory simply stood there perplexed.

"Pregnant?"

"Oh, I guess you wouldn't know what that means." Zappy pointed out to herself. "Let me put it this way for you, you're gonna have a little brother or sister!" With this, Ivory felt happy. A little pony to look out for, finally someone on their level. Almost immediately after, Ivory began feeling something different, a feeling which was really scrunching up his brain. He felt like he wanted to hit something. Hard. He then figured out what was troubling him, the colt was jealous. Murmuring to herself, Zappy spoke, "Oh Celestia I can't believe that magic worked." Ivory couldn't care what anyone said, he was furious. With this temper, he removed himself from the room and went to sulk where he started his day. Zappy couldn't help but ignore Ivory, she instead was still dancing around without a care in the world. It was at this point that Red had returned into the home at an urgent speed.

"Zappy! I heard that you had news to tell me! What is it?" Red was taking frantic breaths. Without hesitation Zappy shouted with joy.

"I'm pregnant!" Upon hearing this, Red is very clearly shocked. A few seconds later, his hooves lose their grip and so he flops onto the floor, still wide-eyed.

"That...that spell worked?"

Downstairs, Red and Zap ended up having a small celebration. Music was being played as both Reddie Stripe and Zappy Coffee danced a slow dance together in the living room, the two mares looked into each others eyes, both were dilated heavily, the unicorn's eyes on the verge of joy-filled tears. Both exchanged a romantic kiss, followed by a deep emotional hug as the song being played reached its loving chorus. Upstairs was another story, Zappy had gone up previously to check upon the colt, during these moments of conversation the blue Ivory put on a happy face just for the overwhelming feelings Zappy was feeling. After leaving the room, saying that her and Red were to have some alone time downstairs, Ivory went back to sulking, staying this way for a while as thoughts went around his head, by now a mixture of jealousy and sorrow. Why, he thought, why do I have to be replaced? Ivory then stared into his space-themed pillow as his eyes watered up, and let out tears of sorrow. Twenty minutes of sorrow passed, until the feelings changed. He felt the anger again, but this time it felt much more fierce. Ivory felt as if he could melt anything with the roaring fire that was latched to his soul at that given moment in time. It was at this moment in time that his dream returned to his head. All he could imagine was fire and anger, cities crumbling under a large threat, destroying everything in a fit of rage. It pleased him. All Ivory could see from his eyes was fire and power, the large threat was him. The colt smiled and was about to laugh maniacally before he stopped. He thought. He gasped. Why did I have such a thought, the pegasus thought worryingly. Ivory then decided to snap out of this jealousy business and head downstairs to where his parents were situated. A little pony to watch out for, Ivory thought as he began to act more happy with every step he took down.

Author's Note:

This is the end of the three released chapters on day one. I will be releasing more, but I feel these three will be released first.
