Scootaloo awoke entangled in Lightning's embrace. Nothing could possibly have made her happier than falling asleep in his forelegs did. She pushed herself deeper into him, until she felt something. Something large. It was poking her stomach. She grinned. She would never admit to anypony that she enjoyed the way that felt. If only it were a little lower. A devious grin formed on her lips as the thought entered her mind. She then cursed herself for being unable to facehoof without waking Lightning. Not before the wedding night you slut. Scootaloo proceeded to give herself the nastiest mental berating she could muster. She knew that there was no need for her to be so harsh on herself, but it was how she had always been since moving in with Rainbow and Spitfire. She felt wrong if she did something mean or had a dirty thought and didn't berate herself the way Jade would have. It was irrational, but it made her feel better in a curious way. Lightning yelped in surprise as he woke and fell from the bed.

"So, you happy to see me this morning?" Scootaloo grinned.

"Apparently so." Lightning stood from the floor and kissed Scootaloo.

"If only we could put that to good use." Scootaloo winked. Lightning shifted uncomfortably. He cursed himself for his inability to put it away, and Scootaloo's last comment didn't help any.

"I'm not comfortable...not before we're...what's so funny?" Scootaloo was rolling around her bed laughing.

"Lightning, you're so adorable when you're nervous!" Lightning laughed and dove on top of Scootaloo. The two rolled around on the bed, laughing as they wrestled. It wasn't long before Scootaloo had Lightning pinned and she planted a passionate kiss directly on his lips. He happily returned the favor. Scootaloo pulled away and collapsed into her lover's embrace.

"I love you Lightning." No matter how many times Lightning heard those words from Scootaloo they never got old.

"I love you too Scoot." Scootaloo burrowed deeper into him. Lightning extended his wings to their full length and wrapped them around Scootaloo's back.

"Well isn't that cute. They look just like us when we were a young couple Spitfire."

"Yeah, they do. However neither of us had wings large enough for that position." Scootaloo and Lightning froze. Lightning sheepishly unfolded his wings and Scootaloo stepped down off the bed. It was then that Rainbow and Spitfire caught sight of the last thing they ever wanted to see. The two adult's eyes shot open at the sight of Lightning with his flag flying high. They looked straight into his eyes. Lightning swallowed and closed his legs.

"Lightning. What. The. Hay." Spitfire spoke slowly and deliberately.

"It happens to stallions in the morning! I don't control it!"

"You do control your proximity to Scootaloo when it happens." Lightning swallowed. He had nothing to say to that.

"Mom, Ma, he was controlling himself fine. He wasn't trying anything. We were just playing, not having sex." Lightning had gotten out of bed at that point and was being circled by Rainbow and Spitfire.

"Lightning, you are very fortunate that she's telling the truth." Spitfire glared at him. The fact that Lightning's piece made any contact with her daughter, especially in a state of full erection, made her insides churn. Rainbow placed her face millimeters from Lightning's.

"Go get rid of that." Lightning, now very afraid of Rainbow and Spitfire, scurried to the bathroom. Scootaloo glared daggers at her parents.

"Why do you have to scare him like that? He did nothing wrong!" Spitfire looked at Scootaloo.

"You'll understand when you're a parent." Scootaloo grunted and stormed away.

"Feel bad that time Spitfire?" Rainbow asked.

"Not in the slightest. We still gonna let them sleep together?"

"Don't see why not. They didn't do anything, Lightning just had morning wood." Spitfire sighed.

"I'll get breakfast ready."

"Sounds good. I'll need to be full before work." Spitfire kissed Rainbow.

"Yes you will."

Scootaloo found Lightning in the bathroom. She immediately wished she hadn't. As she pushed the door open she found him relieving himself.

"Oh, I..." Scootaloo turned away. "I'm sorry...for my parents...they were-"

"Scoot, as much as I love talking to you, I'm not one to chat while I'm emptying my bladder."

"Thank you." With that Scootaloo stepped out of the bathroom and waited patiently for Lightning to finish. After flushing and washing Lightning stepped out of the bathroom.

"Lightning, I'm sorry for the way my parents treated you. They-" Lightning raised a hoof to cut her off.

"It's fine Scoot. I understand their concern. It didn't look very innocent."

"But it was innocent, and they know it."

"Believe me, if I had a daughter and found her coltfriend's very erect tool within 10 meters of her, I'd pound his flank into the ground before anypony could step in for his defense. Your parents reacted far better than I would have in their situation."

"I...don't...can't...did my coltfriend just agree with my parents scaring the hay out of him?"

"And that's why he's still in this home with a functioning set of wings." Rainbow interrupted. "You're a good colt Lightning. But next time, do what you gotta do to put that away before having a moment with my daughter."

"You got it Ma."

"You know, if you keep calling me Ma it'll begin to feel like you two are siblings."

"Just 'cause it's incest doesn't mean it isn't love." Rainbow had to resist the urge to fall over at Lightning's joke.

"And that's why I like you Lightning. You have a sick sense of humor that mirrors my own."

"Only when I know I won't get in trouble for using it." Rainbow laughed again. Scootaloo facehoofed and dragged Lightning back to her room.

"Sorry Ma, looks like duty calls." Lightning called to Rainbow.

"Use protection! If you need some condoms I can run to town before work and-" Before Rainbow could finish that sentence a hoof collided with the back of her head. Rainbow turned around with wide eyes to see Spitfire's very angry face.

"What did I say about giving her permission for sexual activities?" It sounded to Rainbow as if her wife was speaking daggers at her.

"How...what...did you teleport? There's no WAY you could have snuck behind me like that!"

"Rainbow, focus. What did I tell you about that?" Rainbow grinned.

"Just 'cause you tell me not to say something doesn't mean I'm gonna follow your direction." Spitfire facehoofed and walked back to the kitchen.

"If I didn't know you were joking, I would have beaten you VERY badly."

"Oh yeah, spousal abuse. REAL mature Spitfire."

"Rainbow, are you seriously telling me I'm immature? You, a 30 year old mare who still can't keep a room clean without assistance?"

"Your face can't keep a room clean without assistance." Spitfire sighed and walked to the kitchen. How she fell for that mare she would never know.

Scootaloo kicked her door closed. Then shoved her coltfriend back onto her bed.

"What's this abou-" Before he could finish his sentence Scootaloo dove on top of him and pressed her lips firmly against his. After about thirty seconds she pulled away.

"You had me turned on. We're finishing what we started. We can't have sex but I'll be damned to the moon if we don't at least make out."

"Don't you have school today?"

"Not for another hour. That gives us plenty of time to 'horse around' a little." Lightning smiled as he wrapped his wings around the mare on top of him.

"I think I can handle that."

For the first time since his father's death, Steel awoke full of energy. He jumped out of bed and bolted to the room he knew Lightning would be in. He burst through the door to Scootaloo's room. The scene before him caused him to shriek in horror. Scootaloo yelped and fell off the bed as Lightning's wings unfolded in surprise.

"Are you bucking kidding me?!" Scootaloo was pissed. And no longer in the mood for any form of romantic entertainment with her coltfriend.

"Everything al- oh." Rainbow was the first on the scene. She pulled Steel aside.

"You alright buddy?" Steel just stood mortified. He had never seen two ponies in that position before. What was his sister doing on top of Lightning? And why were they touching their tongues together? Instead of responding to Rainbow he made a bee line to his room. Scootaloo stepped out of her room and stormed to the bathroom. She had to get cleaned up for school.

"While she's getting ready you want to get some breakfast Lightning?" Rainbow asked. Lightning's stomach growled loudly.

"I think that should suffice as an answer." he responded. Rainbow laughed and they headed to the kitchen. Spitfire's glare allowed Lightning to know she still wasn't pleased with him.

"Don't you have to get ready for school as well?" She asked sternly.

"Not for a few days. I'm suspended." Spitfire and Rainbow gave him a confused look.

"What for?" Rainbow asked.

"Walking out on class when Scootaloo didn't show up. Class could wait when I wasn't sure if she was alright." Spitfire's glare vanished, replaced with a warm smile.

"I can never stay angry at you Lightning. You always give me a reason to be happy with you again way too bucking quick." Lightning grinned as Scootaloo walked in the room at sat next to him. She leaned against him and closed her eyes.

"Aren't you gonna take a shower Scoot?" Rainbow asked.

"After breakfast." She grumbled. "Food is calling my name." Spitfire smiled as she set a large platter of pancakes down in front of them. It wasn't long before Steel galloped into the room. He made sure to avoid making eye contact with Scootaloo and Lightning. The family happily dug into their food.

The five residents of the Dash home stood on the front porch. Rainbow kissed Spitfire.

"Have a good day at work Rainbow."

"Will do Spitfire. You gonna be able to handle Steel while I'm gone?"

"I've got Lightning to help today. I'll be fine." They kissed again and Rainbow flew off.

"Have fun at school Scoot." Lightning said. Scootaloo sighed.

"I wish I wasn't going to have to tell everypony about this." She pointed to her ear. Lightning kissed her.

"Don't worry, your friends will understand. And if I've learned anything about Sweets and Applebloom they'll be as supportive as can be." Scootaloo smiled and kissed her coltfriend.

"See you after school."

"Just promise me you'll stay there until the day is done this time." Scootaloo laughed and kissed him again.

"I promise." With that Scootaloo flew off to school. Steel watched the scene unfold. He had no idea what was going on, and he definitely didn't get why the two pairs of ponies kept touching their mouths together. He had never seen his parents do that. Was this one of the things his dad told him was bad? It didn't seem bad. Maybe a little gross, but not bad. And if Lightning was doing it with his sister did that mean his sister wasn't bad? He looked up at his new idol. He was going to have a lot of questions for him today.
