//------------------------------// // The Rock Farm // Story: Dragon's Mommies // by TAD2 //------------------------------// Pinkie walked out of the train with Spike on her back. There wasn't much in Rockville, in fact there was nothing aside from rocks, hundreds upon hundreds of tons of rocks, for a far as the eye could see. Pinkie smiled. "Awe, its good to be home." Said Pinkie as she waited for the others to walk onto the small wooden train platform. Pear walked out of the train. "Pinkie, how far to the farm house?" Asked Pear. Pinkie giggled. "Well it should be only a few minute trot from here, but we need to avoid Holders Bolder." Pinkie then popped a flashlight out of her mane. She turned it on, and it illuminated the area. In the distance, there was a wooden farm house, a silo, and a massive egg shaped rock. Pinkie pointed to the house. "See its right over there." Said Pinkie as she jumped carefully off the platform. Pear, Bright Mac, Cookie, Windy, Bow, and the other girls copied the movements of Pinkie. The ground was covered in rocks, some the size of Spike, others the size of a fillies head, so it was for the best that Pinkie was the one carrying Spike. A few minutes, and a few scrapped knees later, the group arrived at the house. The lights were still on, meaning that somepony was still awake. Pear knocked on the door. "Hello, Mister or Misses Pie?" Said Pear. The sound of wood creaking underneath the weight of a pony could be heard, and the movement of the light was a good indication that somepony was coming to the door. And somepony did, the pony that opened the door was a older brown stallion with a pick ax cutie mark, large gray mutton chops, and a collar with a tie around his neck. "Yes. What business do you have with I at this late of an hour?" Asked Igneous. Pear moved over to show Pinkie. Who giggled nervously. "Um. Hi Dad." Igneous sighed as he felt like he just carried Holders Bolder around the farm, and now the rock is off of his back. He walked over to Pinkie. "Pinkamena Diane Pie." Said Igneous. Pinkie gulped. "Yes Pa?" Igneous wrapped Pinkie in a small hug. "Where have you been, do you have any idea how worried thy mother was about thee. She was frantic, when thee did not come into the house and partook of lunch." Igneous looked at the others. "Thank you kindly for bringing my daughter home. It is late, please as a sign of thanks, spend the night in our home, the train is not running for the night, and it's far warmer in the house than out doors." Said Igneous as he moved out of the door way to let the others in. Pear smiled. "Thank you." She looked at Bright Mac confused. "Mac, didn't Granny say that one of her cousins was a Pie?" Asked Pear. Mac shrugged as they entered the house. Once everyone was inside. Igneous lit the fireplace in the living room. "I am afraid that we do not normally host so many guests at once, unfortunately, most of you will need to stay in the living room." "Igneous, husband, are you well?" Asked a voice from upstairs, as another light was turned on. "Yes, Cloudy. Please come hither to greet our guests." "Guests at this hour?" Said Cloudy as she walked down stairs. Once she was down, the group looked at her, she was a light gray mare, with her opal mane done up into a bun, and a pair of bifocals were resting on her snout. Cloudy looked at the group for a moment but then her artic blue eyes fell upon a single pink filly. "Pinkamena?" Asked Cloudy as she rushed down the stairs. Pinkie laughed. "Um... Hi Ma." Said Pinkie as she was brought into a hug by her mother. "Where have thou been, I was so worried." She looked to the group. "Thank you for bringing her back to me." Said Cloudy. Then she put 2 and 2 together, she released Pinkie for the hug. "Please let me go grab some blankets for you all to sleep." Said Cloudy. Pinkie stopped her. "Mom, hold on for a moment, there is something I need to show you and Dad first." Said Pinkie. Cloudy and Igneous nodded as they took a seat on the couch. "Ok Pinkamena, proceed." Said Igneous. Pinkie took a few deep breaths. "Ok, I'm sorry for running off without telling anypony, I shouldn't of done that, and I'm sorry for worrying you all." Said Pinkie. Cloudy and Igneous nodded. "Very well, all is forgiven, just make sure to inform us of your whereabouts before you run off." Pinkie nodded. "Second, I would like to introduce you both to my new friends. Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash. And Most of their parents, Mrs. Buttercup, Mr. Bright Mac, Mrs. Cookie Crumbles, Mr. Bow Hothoof, And Mrs. Windy Whistles." They nodded again. "Thank you for bringing our daughter home to us." "Not a problem, when she told us that she ran off without telling either of you, we rushed her back as fast as we could." Said Bright Mac. They looked at Pinkie. "There is one last thing I need to tell you both." Said Pinkie as she moved to grab Spike. He was there and she brought him in front of her. "Your grandparents. This is Spike, he is a dragon, and my son." Said Pinkie. "Very well." Said Cloudy. Igneous nodded. "Ok, take care of thy son Pinkamena." Everyone looked shocked at seeing how well the Pie's are taking this. "We will introduce Spike to thy aunts in the morning." Igneous bowed his head. "Please, sleep well all." Said Igneous as he retreated upstairs. Cloudy bowed her head as well. "Yes, please sleep well." Everyone looked at Pinkie as she smiled widely. "Oh. My. Celestia. I have never seen them so happy." Everyone looked at everyone else as a single thought ran through their head. 'That was them happy?' Then all the girls yawned. It was time for bed. Pear sighed as she was tired as well. "Ok girls, lets head to bed for the night." Said Pear, as she tossed a blanket on the ground for all the girls and Spike. "Tomorrow Spike need's to meet his aunts, and we need to talk about Pinkie leaving the farm to stay in Ponyville"
