Post Haste and Rainbow Dash have been with each other for three months and life has been great. Then, every coltfriend's worst nightmare happens. No, not an angry ex, how is that even possible?
The sequel to "New World, New Beginning." I suggest reading that first. Up to you, just saying...
is what I must say,
for I have been waiting for this sequel since I finished this story's first part yesterday.
I pulled a Zecora.
Great sequel so far. I can hardly wait until the next chapter! MOAR! I mean, please, if, I mean, um, if that's O.K. with you.
I'm going to guess that the thing that Postie is going to have to face that is worse than an angry ex., is either Rainbow's Dad, or (as one myself,) an older brother of Rainbow Dash's. Or it could be an angry former best friend of Rainbow's, who we all know by the name of Gilda.
Anyway, please write more of this great story soon.
>>118571Off topic, but I just noticed that we can edit and even delete our own comments now.
As a follow-up to my last comment, I'm even more confident that it is the Dad (and probably Mom) thing, based on the title of the story.
A little off topic, but I originally thought that the "Parental" part in the title had to do with Dash getting pregnant, and her and Postie haveing trouble raising a foal.
It could still be the case I guess, but I suppose probably not.
I chose Hippogriff because...!
As you no doubt know, the hippogriff is half eagle, half horse. Fitting, seeing that the town of Hippogriff has a population of about half ponies and half griffons.
HOWEVER, there is another layer.
In Greek mythology, the hippogriff was what would result when a griffon mated with a mare. Seeing as the town is a labour of both ponies and griffons, it was perfect, as distrubing as that may be.
I want moar, pleaze. I look forward to the "Meet the Parents" chapter. I'm not worried, b/c the tone of this fic and its predecessor is light, hilarious and fun. If the parents are anything like your other OC's then I expect to be very entertained. For some reason I can't explain i liked the fact the kitchen is now clean. idk why though.
Peace Out.
well it could have been worse, i mean dash's father might have looked like this
America FUCK YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i love this fic and it's predecessor so much, their just really well made, lighthearted, d'awww worthy, hilarious ship fics. I love how nothing gets too depressing and how you leave each chapter on a fairly high note. I'm just picturing Thunderhead with a Freddy Mercury style Mustache. Also he's like the best OC parent ever.
Peace Out.
>>274909 Haha chill man...
Look, it all depends on where you were raised, right? To me, 'mum' sounds off(as do other English words excluded from American vocabulary), putting aside a general lack of exposure to it beforehand(resulting in its somewhat 'alien' or strange appearence, from my point of view), because of my accent. If I heard someone with a thick British accent pronounce 'mom', I'd probobly laugh because it would probobly be funny sounding. Just as it would be funny for me(with an American accent) to pronounce it 'mum'. I hope you know I was kidding, though! I'm really into this story, and would only rather you keep the American spelling for accuracy's sake. I mean, the ponies all have American accents, so it makes sense canonicaly to spell as such. But seriously, 'Butchering the English language'? Seems to be a bit of an extreme point of view, if you're serious. Can't we all just get along? In the end, it doesn't kill anybody. Or at least, as far as i'm aware it doesn't. Anywho! I hope the next chapter comes soon, but I'd say take your time if you need it. You can't rush perfection!
“This isn’t what it looks like.”
>>274909 AaaAaaaww! But butchering the English language is so much FUN!
(Just kidding.)
Hm, I can't believe no one's said this yet (O.K., I can.): Thank you for spelling "mom" as "mom".
Both "mom" and "mum" are shortened versions of the word "mother", but "mother" has no "u's".
Yet another great chapter.
>>281052 Rainbows pervy mother? I have no objections and her dads mustache is my hero. I noticed in there that Post Haste 'smiled sadly'( or something to that effect) when Rainbow hugged her mother. Im thinking we'll see something if Post's past in there. Really interested in whatll come next, and I loved RDs parents. Good Show on their characters, very unique and entertaining
I've realised that the only time I get a significant number of comments on a chapter is when either something incredibly stupid or hilarious happens, or when I post something that gets a lot of peoples' attention in the Author's Notes.
Therefore...
Twilight is best pony. Discuss.
I like the way you made Rain and Postie a direct parallel to Thunder and Tranquil. Also I think Thunder is now my favorite oc. The character is awesome and I like how you put a lot of Rainbow's personality into him as well as making him both scary and funny. Then again all the characters you've introduced us to are extremely likeable and distinct. I think this sequel is underrated kinda like movie 2010: The Year we Made Contact.
It is really sad, but it's also sadly believeable. I mean, stuff like that really does happen on Earth sometimes, unfortunately. Everyone grieves differently, and losing your mother at an ealy aged is very sad and can be traumatising, such as is this case.
Please keep up the really good work.
Actually, I never really specify his age. Just realised that... 
I've always thought of Post Haste as being in his early 20s, around 21, maybe. So not that young. Still, to have the only one who was there at all for you to take their own life...
Yeah, traumatizing.
>>443375 I may have been identifying with Postie. I lost my Mom 8 years ago when I was 12, so I guess that I was just projecting part of my life as a part of his life when I was reading this. It was different for me: There were plenty of other people there for me, and Mom didn't take her own life, she was murdered. It was still traumatizing anyway.
Actually, the kitchen fire was meant to be a mix of Epic Fail, Achievements In Ignorance, Noodle Incident and Beyond the Impossible. After all, she set fire to a cloud house. Something made entirely of water vapour. That's special, even for a place like Equestria.
