As Rainbow Dash and Soarin left the bar and flew back towards Ponyville Rainobow Dash decided to ask Soarin about what happened before they met. “So… wanna tell me how exactly do you know him.” Rainbow Dash asked as they where high above Canterlot’s skies.
“Me and Eridim met soon after I joined the Wonderbolts. He was helping other changelings escape the hive and he needed my help.” Soarin explained to her.
“What about ‘she’. Who is she.” Rainbow Dash asked referring to the mare whose name neither Soarin or Eridim said.
“She’s name is Aevna. She was Eridim’s sister.” Soarin said with sadness in his tone.
“What happened.” Rainbow Dash asked him.
“She wanted to help us save her son from the hive. She had left her son and ran away from the hive a few months before.” Soarin said as his mind slowly drifted away from reality.
“You said she died.” Rainbow Dash said.
“Yeah… her husband and Eridim’s best friend since childhood killed her as me and Eridim where trying to get her son away from the fighting.” Soarin said as he tried to hide the sadness in his voice. “He loved her… But he also was one of Chrysalis’s top soldiers… and her policy on changelings who escape the hive is to kill them on site.” Soarin said as he remembered the scene of a heartbroken husband killing his wife. He still could see the sadness in his eyes as he was forced to kill his wife in front of their son.
“What about their son… what happened to him?” Rainbow Dash asked Soarin breaking him out of his thoughts.
“We had to hid him in an orphanage since neither Erdim or me couldn’t have taken care of him.” Soarin said as the two of them flew in to Ponyville.
“Well talking about orphans.” Rainbow Dash said as two of them glided down to their home. “I think we need to make some food for one.” Rainbow Dash said as she noticed that Scootaloo had already come home from School. Both of them entered their home and Soarin yelled.
“Scootaloo!”
“DAD!” Scootaloo yelled as she ran down the stairs almost falling down them. She quickly ran into Soarin’s arms and gave him a hug. “Where were you two?” She asked.
“We had some grownup business to take care of.” Soarin said and looked at Rainbow Dash who was standing next to him.
“Is Rainbow Dash gonna live here since you two are having foals.” Scootaloo asked bluntly which surprised Rainbow Dash.
“Yes. I will be living here with you two.” Rainbow Dash said as Scootaloo looked at her.
“This is so cool!” Scootaloo yelled in excitement. She couldn’t believe that she had not only a dad but maybe soon she could call Rainbow Dash mom as well.
*knock *knock
“Rainbow Dash! Darling are you there?” a familiar voice called from behind the front door. Rainbow Dash quickly turned around and opened the front door to reveal one of her friends and her soon-to-be husband.
“Oh Rarity and Thunderlane why are you here?” Rainbow Dash asked as she let them in.
“Oh I hate to invade your home but me and Thunderlane need some help from you and Soarin.” Rarity said and gave both of them an awkward smile.
“Okay Scootaloo could you go to your room.” Soarin said as Rainbow Dash lead Rarity and Thunderlane to the living room.
“Fineee.” Scootaloo said in an annoyed tone as she slowly walked up the stairs to her room. Then Soarin walked back to the living room where he saw Rarity and Thunderlane siting with Rainbow Dash.
“So what do you need help with?” Rainbow Dash asked Rarity as Soarin sat down next to her.
“Well…” Rarity said as she nervously fixed her mane. “We have been trying to get a me… you know.” Rarity said really awkwardly.
“What?” Rainbow Dash asked her.
“What she means is that we have tried to get her pregnant but it doesn’t seem to be happening… ever.” Thunderlane said as he wrapped his wing around Rarity who seemed to be ready to cry.
“Oh that’s terrible. I’m so sorry.” Rainbow Dash said as she realized that Rarity wasn't fertile.
“Oh it’s fine darling… just bit hard to accept these kinds of things.” Rarity said as she tried to smile.
“We were wondering…” Thunderlane said as she tried to calm Rarity down. “If you two could help us adopt a foal since you have one adopted foal.” Thunderlane finished.
“Of course just go to the orphanage outside of Canterlot and I’m sure they will help you get a foal.” Soarin said to them. “I’ll give you two the
directions to there.” Soarin said as he rushed to get some paper.
“So is everything else okay Rarity?” Rainbow Dash asked.
“Yes… It’s just kinda hard to give up on some dreams and move on.” Rarity said as Soarin came back to the room with a map and he handed it to Thunderlane. “Anyways Rainbow Dash how is life with you two?” Rarity asked.
“Its totally fine…” Rainbow Dash laughed out awkwardly due to the fact she didn’t want her friends yet knowing she was pregnant. “I decided to move in with Soarin and Scootaloo and it’s been great.” Rainbiw Dash said and smiled widely.
“Oh that’s nice.” Rarity said. “Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom have really started to like Scootaloo. She told me that they have some sort of club or something.” Rarity told them. “anyways I suppose me and Thuderlane should get going. Thank you for the advice.” Rarity said as she and Thunderlane stood up and Started to walk towards the door.
“You know me always willing to help.” Rainbow Dash chuckled as Rarity and Thunderlane left the house leaving Soarin and Rainbow Dash alone.
“You didn’t tell her about the pregnancy even though she is one of your best friends.” Soarin said.
“Yeah… they don’t need to know yet… I’ll tell them once the time is right.” Rainbow Dash said to Soarin.
“Okay… well I suppose we should get some dinner ready.” Soarin said and smiled as Rainbow Dash started to walk towards the kitchen. “Also… maybe I should take care of it.” Soarin said remembering Rainbow Dash’s cooking skills.
“Have it your way.” Rainbow Dash said and chuckled.
