By: flat spin
It had been about a week since Rarity and Thunderlane had visited Rainbow Dash and Soarin’s home. Today was a perfect day. The sky was blue and the sun was shining high. Scootaloo was happily running though Ponyville towards her home. She was supposed to hang out with Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom today but she had to get home and tell Soarin and Rainbow Dash what happened today.
“DAD!” Scootaloo yelled as she opened the door and ran into the living room. “Rainbow Dash!”
“What’s wrong Scootaloo.” Scootaloo heard Soarin’s voice coming from the kitchen as Rainbow Dash walked into the living room.
“Yeah I thought you were supposed to hang out with Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle today.” Rainbow Dash Said as Soarin joined them in the living room.
“Yeah I was supposed to but we got a new student to our class today.” Scootaloo said and jumped up and down in excitement.
“Oh well that’s nice.” Rainbow Dash said and smiled as she and Soarin sat down on the couch.
“You two will never guess who it is.” Scootaloo said and struggled to jump between the two of them on the couch but Soarin quickly picked her up and lifted her between them.
“Well tell us.” Soarin said as Scootaloo nuzzled between him and Rainbow Dash.
“Well….” Scootaloo said and started to tell them what happened earlier today.
“Hi Scoots!” Apple Bloom said as Scootaloo entered the class room.
“Hi Apple Bloom. Where is Sweetie Belle?” Scootaloo asked as she sat down next to her.
“She is gonna be late because of her new cousin.” Apple Bloom said and smiled.
“New cousin?” Scootaloo asked. “Do you mean that Rarity and Thunderlane got a foal all the sudden?” Scootaloo asked.
“Well they adopted a foal.” Apple Bloom said. “She is gonna show him the town and then come to school.” Apple Bloom told Scootaloo.
“Oh it’s a he.” Scootaloo said and wiggled her eyebrows and gave Apple Bloom a friendly poke to the side.
“Stop it!” Apple Bloom said as her cheeks blushed a bit. “He is also a pegasus.” Apple Bloom said and smiled at Scootaloo.
“So…” Scootaloo said and looked away from her. “Just because he is a pegasus doesn’t make me any more interested in him.” Scootaloo said.
“Who do you even know that?” Scootaloo asked Apple Bloom who was smiling victoriously.
“Sweetie Belle told me…” She said and leaned towards Scootaloo and whispered into her ear. “And according to Sweetie Belle he is quite good
looking.” Apple Bloom said in a seductive tone which made Scootaloo’s fur rise up as the class door opened up and Sweetie Belle walked in.
“And this is our class room.” She said as she marched in. “Over there are my best friends Scootaloo and Apple Bloom.” Sweetie Belle said as she and her new cousin walked in. Scootaloo could not believe her eyes… it couldn’t be… His purple eyes and grey fur… It was…
“RUMBLE!” Scootaloo screamed in happiness as she jumped out of her seat and tackled Rumble into a hug. “Two of them hugged each other on the cold classroom floor for a moment until Scootaloo stood up and asked him. “Why didn’t you tell me that Rarity and Thunderlane adopted you?”
“Well I was supposed to tell you but I simply didn’t have any time.” Rumble explained.
“So… you two know each other or something?” Sweetie Belle asked them which caused both of them to blush a bit.
“Don’t you see.” Apple Bloom said as she walked over to Sweetie Belle. “Scootaloo got the hots for him.” Apple Bloom teased Scootaloo which caused both her and Rumble to blush even more.
“No but seriously who do you two know each other?” Sweetie Belle asked as she and Apple Bloom had finished teasing their best friend.
“Well we met before Soarin adopted me.” Scootaloo told her best friends.
“Is that when you two got together.” Apple Bloom teased as she wiggled her eyebrows seductively while Sweetie Belle chuckled.
“Yes.” Rumble said and draped his wing over Scootaloo’s back which caused Scootaloo to lean on him.
“Awwwww!” Sweetie Belle said as she pushed her cheeks together. “You two are so sweet!” She said as miss Cheerilee walked in. Rumble sat next to Scootaloo as the class begin.
“Wait Rarity and Thunderlane adopted Rumble?!” Soarin asked with his mouth open.
“Yeah.” Scootaloo said excitedly as Rainbow Dash saw that something was on Soarin’s mind.
“Is something wrong Soarin?” Rainbow Dash asked.
“No… this is just…” He said as they heard somepony knock on the front door. “Come in it’s open.” Soarin yelled and a blue stallion stepped in. Soarin immediately sensed who he was. “Eridim.”
“Soarin.” Eridim said and changed quickly to his changeling form. “Miss Dash and Scootaloo I presume.” Eridim greeted.
“Who is he?” Scootaloo asked Soarin.
“He is… a friend.” Soarin said and looked at Eridim who was looking at Scootaloo.
“Could we talk with out the youngling.” Eridim said and Scootaloo quickly got out of the living room.
“Well what do you want to talk about?” Rainbow Dash asked.
“Firstly I have managed to get some security around your home and around the town. Don’t worry we will keep you safe from Chrysalis.” Eridim said as he walked around the living room “Secondly I did some research to see if it was truly possible for a changeling to get a pony pregnant and well…” Eridim said and chuckled a bit.
“What?” Soarin said in a serious tone.
“Tell me about your parents Soarin.” Eridim said.
“Well my mom never acted like she was my mother and my dad…” Soarin stopped midsentence as he remembered all the horrible things his father did to him.
“Abused you.” Eridim finished for him. “I can’t explain why your father abused you when you were young but I can explain why your mother acted like she wasn’t your mother.” Eridim said to Soarin.
“Tell me.” Soarin demanded as Rainbow Dash leaned on to his side to calm him down.
“Your mother wasn’t your mother.” Eridim said. “Your father was a pony but your real mother was a changeling your father had an affair with. That’s why your mother never treated you like her own son.” Eridim said.
“Do you mean that I’m a…” Soarin tried to say it but couldn’t.
“You are a halfling. Not a pony nor a changeling.” Eridim said as he looked directly at Soarin whose world had just been thrown upside down.
“Who can you be sure?” Soarin asked as his heart was bounding faster and faster.
“I’m sure of that because you were born outside the hive without the queens magic and because of my spies got me some documents detailing an old military program that Chrysalis was doing.” Eridim said and gave Soarin a larger pile of papers that had the word “Classified” On the first page with red letters. “You are know to Chrysalis as subject 315… You were a government test to see if changelings could reproduce with ponies outside of the hive. The result of the test was that changelings could reproduce outside the hive with ponies without the queen’s magic. I recommend that you read that it’s quite interesting and it has quite a lot of information about what Rainbow Dash might have to go through during her pregnancy.” Eridim said as he watched the two looking at the pile of papers.
“Okay… I’ll read it through...” Soarin said as he was looking at it and trying to figure out what Eridim just told him. “I trust you and your changelings can see that Rainbow Dash, Scootaloo and me are gonna be safe.” Soarin said and looked at Eridim who was about to leave.
“Don’t worry we got you three covered.” Eridim said as he changed back to his preferred pony form.
