I liked it, thanks for uploading this onto FimFiction.net
It was a cute story, and fun to read... but then I saw the ending and that just annoyed me quite a bit.

Am I missing something? All I see is a large white blank space before "Surprise"

Pinkie, get your child out of here before she deletes anymore of the story!

I don't get it :/

in what way is a single word a troll ending?
considering the story above forgivable

This was a great story, really well done. I'd add it to my favourites, but I can't find out how on earth you do it!

I actually thought that meant they fixed it, considering Pinkie Pie's story about Surprise.

Also, the "Who is this pony?" test won't accept Fluttershy as a tree.

what was fluttershys son doing under the table, and haveing to do something softer? Rubbing her feet or........:twilightoops: herp da derp

The star beside the title. Gray until you click it, turns yellow.

i don't get the reason. equestria is a magical land why would it happen. WHY WOULDN'Y YOU LET DASH HAVE KIDS WHYY WHYYY

Haven/t read it, haven't looked at the comments (Hit end after reading the description) and I think that she's barren. Or something. Prolly wrong, but meh, want to call SOMETHING!

Has something happened to the story because all i have is - surprise. :derpyderp1:

... XD Well played god sir... Well played... Not that I don't hate your guts, but...

... And BUCK I hate being right! Gimme a break! I... That... ARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

:flutterrage: FLUTTERSHY SMASH!!!! :flutterrage:

I now must shun you for the rest of your days.

p.s. The only way to remove said shun is to fix this fic by making a sequel. You have been warned...

A good start, tracking to see more from you :twilightsmile:

117145 Wheres the troll ending all I see is a huge gap of blank then the word Surprise at the end

I don't quite understand what 'Surprise' was doing there at the end. It wasn't meant to be a troll ending if that's how you interpreted it. The ending just reassures that despite Rainbows infertility problem Soarin' will still be dedicated to her and not abandon her for another mare.

"We'll make this work" is how it ends but if you go over the doctors dialogue there is the suggestion that she could one day have children (something RD didn't pick up on) just not the natural way.

#19 · Jan 9th, 2012 · · ·

it can be inferred that Dash and Soarin' do end up having a kid. the "-surprise" isn't trolling, its hinting that they have a surprise foal. pretty badass if you ask me :moustache:

I did not see surprise.... just blank, however since the doctor did say she couldn't have them naturally...there are other means and the author explains this

I want rainbow to have babies! oh am i right in guessing that mac is the father of flutter's foal?

119306 I believe that that IS inferred, from what I understood, since she made mention of his being busy with applebucking, so that's what I would guess.

118486 So.... You're gonna make a sequel to explain how they DO have foals, and what happens afterwards, ect, RIGHT... Don't make me get my giant fish and come over there to slap you around! *Shakes a fish at you* ... XD As if ANYPONY could be taken seriously with a giant fish being shaken at them! XD Serial though, I'm now fine with the ending. A sequel would be AWESOMELY AMAZING, but now not COMPLETELY needed. (Though appreciated)

~ Moonstone, Minstrel of Equestria

p.s. I now cease my shunning of you. You may now rejoice. (XD As if you REALLY cared if I shunned you or not! XD I'm so full of myself.)

My emotions work in an interesting way.
The sadder or heart-touching something is... the more energy I get. No tears... energy. Is it a dark soul?
I just finished, and I feel like I could explode with the strength of a thousand nukes. So yeah, I liked it.

While granted, there's a lot of inferring on how Dash could still have children, a lot of discussion on that mystery "-Surprise," as well as the huge blank spot at the end, I for one wish to see this story finish. Yes, Soarin reassuring Dash is good, but how do her friends react? Does Twilight immediately start researching for a solution? Fluttershy comforting Dash? Pinky throwing some sort of "Make Rainbow Dash Feel OK" party?
It's a good way to end a chapter, but not a story.
Hope to see more
:rainbowdetermined2:

This needs an "I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant" sequel. That would make everything better. :rainbowdetermined2:

The story is great and well told, but it was a bit too sexualized for my tastes. Still, I love what you've got here.

The ending of this story was not there for me. It was quite abrupt and then really give any closer. The pairings were cute, but its sort of odd that Rainbow Dash won't even have time to write her friends over all of those years she was on tour. Leaving out Applejack during the meeting was odd and seemed not Applejack like. Overall this was a 3.5/5 for me.

“You...won’t be able to naturally conceive children Miss Dash.”
"This is Equestria after all."
Rainbow could, for all her fame and fortune now, pay whatever experts there are on the field.
(and appearantly that is a field of study in Equestria, lest the Doc would not mention it.)
..and on top of that she has the (as in: THE) highest. possible. ranking. magic wielders. in Equestria as acquaintances.
Moreso, Twi, one of her best friends (propably being one of them by now) has at least one Princess basically on speed-dial! :trollestia:

Battle-plan for this:
- secure emotional backup (Soarin) > check
- tell a horribly worried Twilight what the deal is (equalling pretty much sic'ing her on the task)
- sit back and 'watch the puppets dance' so to speak..
:twilightsmile:

Tell you what, even though the story ended open-ended,
Cosmo was so nice as to supply us with enough reason to think if it is ever possible, it WILL work out. :heart:
I have faith it will, even if unwritten

Why is this adult content now D:

manly tears have been shed :fluttercry:
great story

Great story, though it was a tad bit surprising when Dash started getting eaten out at the podium. Was rather more risqué than I was expecting when I started reading it on a bike at the gym, felt it was best at that point to switch to another story, heh.

I've gotta ask, when Pinkie said that Surprise was a surprise, did she just go into labour in the middle of the work day one day and give birth in the middle of her shift without going to the hospital?

what was up with the long white ending thingy

464442
Google docs import error or something

Nice fic, I liked it. Heh, interesting beginning. Soarin, you and your shenanigans

I would finish reading it if it didnt stop loading after the part where RD tells Soarin that she cant have kids.:fluttercry:
though what i have read so far was really good.

Haven't read this yet, but I'm guessing she's sterile.

1188458
Having read this, that was my first guess, but after 118486 's comment, I reread the relevant statement. I am now of the opinion that she isn't infertile per say, as much as being unable to carry to term. Harvest a few eggs, do a little artificial insemination, find a genetically compatible surrogate mother to carry the child to term, and problem solved.

“We hooked up,” Pinkie sighed happily, tapping her stomach. “This is going to be number two actually Dash.

Oh come on, they haven't communicated in ANY way in 9 years...? :rainbowhuh:

And it sounds like Rainbow doesn't know how to properly take care of her wings despite being a top flyer for 9 years!

Bit more attention to detail throughout the story would have been nice. Couldn't really enjoy it. :trixieshiftright:

I wonder where the cover image came from, to be honest. I know it's a reference to Up.

D'awwwwww that was really cute, and just as sad…
10/10

this is fantastic! i feel so bad for RD :ajsleepy:... but there could be a way right?

Man this hit me right in the feels :fluttercry:

Hrmm as much as I loved this is seemed like an excuse for mass shipping

Loved the story and keep up the good work:heart::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy:

Yeah although because this is like nine years in the future its not likely we'll be able to see a scootadopt.

The other option is my OC. He knows many spells and a few of them can help with fertility problems.

That's heavy and rather depressing....................
