//------------------------------// // Awful Argument // Story: Huge Mistake // by MIKEANTHONY321 //------------------------------// WARNING: SHORT CHAPTER! …………………………………… -4 months later- …………………………………… Blaze sat back in his room, thinking. His (and Starlight’s) birthday was coming up, so he needed to think about what he wanted. An idea came to him, which he didn’t expect to actually receive. “Maybe I could bypass the firecrackers, and get some dynamite! I could use it to viciously blow up some of Sweet Apple Acres!” He chuckled devilishly. “I don’t think that’s a good idea!” Flash called from the living room. Blast, how could he have heard me? Blaze walked out of his room, and into the living room. “How did you hear that?” He asked. “Colts your age talk much louder than they think.” Flash responded. There was a slight silence; the only noise heard being the one on the TV. “So where’s mom?” Blaze asked. “She went to get a check-up at the doctor’s office.” Flash responded. “We’re going to find out what type of pony the foal will be.” Blaze’s expression turned thoughtful. “On that subject, what will we be doing with the foal, since it’s not yours and all?” Blaze asked. Flash sighed, looking dismayed. “We don’t know. We’ll have to talk to Soarin about that at some point.” He replied. “And what do you mean by the ‘type’ of pony?” Blaze asked. “I mean will it be an earth pony, a unicorn or a pegasus. I’m really hoping it’s a pegasus.” Flash answered. “What for?” Blaze asked. “Only pegasi can walk on clouds. If it’s not a pegasus, we’ll have to enchant our home, or live on the ground. Both options are really expensive!” Flash responded. “When should mom be back?” Flash thought. “She should be home any minute.” And with that, Rainbow Dash walked in the front door. Blaze chuckled. “That was convenient!” Rainbow walked over to the kitchen table, and set the keys down. At four months, Rainbow looked like she had just finished a huge buffet, and had way too much to eat. Flash and Blaze both walked over to her. “So, what are the results?” Flash asked. “Well first of all, it’s a colt.” Rainbow said. Blaze did a hoof-pump. “Yes!” He whispered. Flash took on a more stern expression. “And?” Rainbow sighed. “AND?” “It’s a unicorn.” She announced. Flash’s expression fell. “Ugh, looks like it’s time to get a second job.” He mumbled. “And to add to the trouble, unicorns are really hard to control when they’re young. They have a lot of untamed magic.” Rainbow added. Flash’s head was down, and he was looking at the floor. “I wish you had never gone to that party…” He muttered. “Hey wait, I asked for your permission before I left, because I knew there was going to be some adult stuff going on with other ponies! You said it was fine!” Rainbow exclaimed. “Yeah, I never said you could have sex with anypony though!” Flash yelled back. Blaze cringed. “I’m gonna go now…” After Blaze slipped away, Rainbow and Flash continued their arguing. “I already told you, I was drunk! I wasn’t thinking!” “Yeah, but it was your choice to drink that night!” “Well you should have already known that!” “Don’t turn this back on me, it wasn’t my fault!” Rainbow and Flash were yelling now, and it could be heard loud and clear throughout the house. “Well maybe if you had gone with me, it wouldn’t have happened!” “Didn’t you notice I had a fever?! I couldn’t go!” “Well you shouldn’t have gotten a fever!” “You know I can’t help something like that!” “And you know I can’t help getting pregnant while drunk!” “Yes, you could help that! You’re the one who decided to drink!” “But after a couple, it’s not my conscious decision anymore!” “Well maybe you shouldn’t have gone to that party!” “Well maybe I shouldn’t have! So what?!” “And maybe you shouldn’t have joined the Wonderbolts!” “Maybe not!” “And you probably shouldn’t have married me!” “NO, I SHOULDN’T HAVE! SO LONG, LOSER!” "Whoa whoa..wait. I didn't mean-" Before Flash could finish, Rainbow grabbed her wedding ring from her wing, and threw it on the ground. She stomped on it, crushing it. Then, in a swift move, she swung around and stormed out the door, slamming it behind her. ……………………………… The second Rainbow left, Flash snapped back to reality. Whoa, that was fast. Just fine one moment, and divorced the next. Rainbow must be very sensitive to that kind of argument. After realizing what he had done, Flash broke down on the floor, and began to cry. The last two lines from their argument flashed through his head again. “And you probably shouldn’t have married me!” “NO, I SHOULDN’T HAVE! SO LONG, LOSER!” She didn’t even say ‘probably’… “Who knew I could have lost her that easily?!” He cried out. He looked forward, and saw Rainbow’s wedding ring destroyed on the floor. He picked up both pieces, and held them close. “I’m such an egghead…” He sobbed. To be Continued… Author Notes: For those of you who thought that the end happened too quickly, I agree. I just can’t seem to grasp the theme for this kind of event. I hope it was somewhat good, though!
