"I'm back!" announced Rainbow Dash, as she returned to her cloud-house, and family's home."I finished helping Applejack, and meeting with my best friends, and watching Twilight send her star student Luster off to Ponyville." she continued, before Soarin walked up to her.

"Good to have you back, Rainbow Dash, we really were starting to miss you,"he told his beloved wife.

The next moment, Rainbow and Soarin's children showed up. One of them was their son who had his father's eyes and mane, and his mother's coat. The other was their daughter, who had her mother's eyes and mane, and her father's coat.

"Dad just told us about your wedding story, Mum!" the filly exclaimed.

"And boy, was it awesome!" the colt added.

"Except for the scary part when Lightning put a spell on Dad," the filly nervously mentioned.

"And almost killed him," the colt ended.



Soarin comforted his kids, "To be honest, I was quite shocked and horrified when your mother and her friends told me what happened while I was brainwashed and unconscious. The last thing I remembered before regaining my senses was comforting the imposter without knowing she was an imposter back there, as she thanked me for my comfort, that's when I kind of... fell into a deep sleep."

All the other family members paid full attention to Soarin as he continued,"I guess that while I was in the deep sleep state, I was actually brainwashed.  But luckily, your Mum made it right on time to save me,"

"For the fourth time I saved your Dad from falling to his doom," Rainbow Dash added, in a proud tone.

"Right," he told his wife, before turning back to their kids,"Then, as soon as Lightning was gone, I heard your Mum's friends mentioning that Lightning was pretending to be your Mum, I figured that I was with an imposter the entire time before I lost my senses.  That's why I never asked them for more details that time when I apologised to them,  and re-offered them the special occupations at the wedding as an apology. Before your Mum went on to checking the preparations for the REAL wedding, her friends told me everything that I was unaware of. I thanked them for finding and bringing your REAL Mum back to every creature, before suggesting that they visit every month so we can spend some time with them."



"And that's why Aunt Scootaloo and Gilda visit us every month!" the colt ended.

"That's right," Rainbow answered, before asking, "Now who wants the apple pie from Sweet Apple Acres that I spent days working for Applejack to earn?" 

"I do!" Soarin and his daughter exclaimed.

"Not me, I don't like pie," the colt replied.

Rainbow placed the pie down for half of her family to eat, before approaching her son,"I know dear, and don't worry, you're not the only one."

"And I'm glad that Aunt Scootaloo was not the only one suspicious of an imposter like Princess Twilight was during Cadance and Shining Armor's wedding." the colt replied.

"Right..." Rainbow Dash responded, as the day ended.
