*Lillian's POV*


Danyelle was reading one of her Guardians of Ga'Hoole books while resting on a beanbag in the library.

“Hi, Danyelle.” I greeted

Danyelle asks "Hey, Lillian. Reading the first Brave Barzard book again?"

One of the Changelings was reading a Daring Do book.

“What’s that changeling reading?” I asked.

Danyelle spoke "No idea, I'm not familiar with the series. Twilight might know though."

Twilight asks "You talking about me?"

Danyelle yelps "For Amaterasu's sake Twilight, don't sneak up on a pregnant female!"

Twilight spoke "Sorry!"

Danyelle spoke "Sorry for snapping, it's the mood swings..."

Twilight spoke "It’s not a problem."

Firefly asks "What book series is this?"

Twilight spoke "Oh, that’s the first book of the Daring Do series, “Daring Do and the Sapphire Stone.” I own all of the books. *Squee!*"

Firefly was starry eyed since she was an avid reader.

A loud crash was heard since one of the Changeling stallions, Chaser, had crashed into Rainbow thus causing both to land hard on the ground.

Chaser groans "Ow...."

Rainbow Dash spoke "Sorry about that dude."

But unknown to anyone, Firefly was blushing at the sight of Chaser.

Chaser's left wing was injured, as was his back right leg.

Rainbow Dash’s right wing was injured before she fell unconscious.

Chaser picked the mare up with his magic and carried her to the hospital.

Later, Rainbow Dash regained consciousness.

Chaser's left wing was bandaged to his side plus his leg was bandaged too.

Gingerheart spoke "Hello Rainbow Dash."

Rainbow Dash asks "W-What happened?"

Gingerheart spoke "You crashed into a Changeling stallion while practicing... Despite his injuries, he carried you here."

A few rooms away, Rarity was screaming in pain since she had gone into labor.

Gingerheart spoke "And a new life is on its way to the world."

Chaser asks "A new life?"

Gingerheart whispered what shi meant, and it made Chaser blush.

Rainbow was flustered as well since her left wing had shot up on end.

“What’s with that look, Rainbow Dash?” I teased.

Rainbow spoke "Sh-shut up Lillian..."

“Okay. Just make sure you don’t go find Soarin until your wing’s all healed.” I teased further, making RD’s face turn as red as an apple.

Chaser was chuckling.

Rainbow Dash spoke "One of these days…"

Chaser shapeshifts into a copy of Soarin thus embarrassing Rainbow more.

Rainbow Dash thinks "I’ll need Pinkie’s help for a prank to get back at Lillian."

"Soarin" asks "What kind of prank?"

Rainbow Dash spoke "Get outta my head!"

Twilight asks "Uh Rainbow? you okay?"

Rainbow Dash spoke "Ugh… I think I need a nap."

"Soarin" spoke "Same here... My leg won't heal right if I don't rest."

Chaser shifted back to his changeling form.

Rainbow spoke "Not cool Chase..."

Chaser chuckles "Sorry, couldn’t help myself."

I spoke "I wonder if Rarity's okay."

Rainbow asks "Gingerheart, is Rarity going to be okay?"

Gingerheart spoke "Honestly, I don’t know."

Blizzardstar spoke "She's resting now, same for Snowfire."

Danyelle spoke "Hey Rainbow, I got you something to read."

The winged nekomata passes a Daring Do book to Rainbow.

Danyelle spoke "You'll like Daring Do. She's just as brave as you are, fearless too."

Rainbow Dash spoke "No thanks, reading isn’t like me. It’s totally, undeniably, uncool."

Ears pin back, Danyelle spoke "Just don't let Kim hear that... She'll snap your wings in more ways than one..."

Rainbow Dash spoke "Don’t remind me, I know what happened to Ein when he messed with Kim."

Danyelle spoke "Which is why he's stupid... Male spotted hyenas don't stand a chance in female dominated packs."

That made Rainbow Dash snicker.

Twilight spoke "I didn't know that about spotted hyenas though..."

Rarity spoke "Hi Rainbow."

Rainbow Dash spoke "Whoa, you look completely spent."

Rarity spoke "Foalbirth isn't easy.... Especially if your kid's a taur...'

Rainbow Dash spoke "Wait, what did you just say? Kid? You would’ve normally said child."

Rarity spoke "And given that my partner's a hermaphrodite, Snowfire's also a herm too."

Rainbow Dash spoke "Then that must’ve been real painful."

Rarity spoke "It was."

Then somehow, Applejack had a chill running down her spine.

Danyelle asks "You okay Applejack?"

Applejack spoke "Just somehow feelin’ a bit nervous."

Twilight spoke "Could it be..."

Applejack spoke "No! It ain’t that!"

Danyelle spoke "Sit girl."

Twilight was face down on the floor.

Danyelle spoke "Oh, it's that kind of problem..."


*That night*


Chaser was bored out of his mind.

Chaser asks "You okay speedy?"

But then Chaser saw something he couldn’t believe, he saw Rainbow Dash under her bedsheet with a lamp on, reading something.

Chaser thinks "Guess she doesn't want others to find out that she actually likes reading."

Chaser sighed as he add to that thought, “But sooner or later, she’ll have to tell them. But I wonder what this Brave Barzard book is about.”

The curious Changeling stallion picked the book up and started reading it, using a low light spell so he could see the words.


*The next morning,*


The pair had been discharged from the hospital.

Chaser had both books in his saddlebags so that Rainbow wouldn't sneak back into the hospital.

Rainbow Dash asks "You knew?!"

Chaser spoke "It's not that, I'd rather not have my tail burned off if a book goes missing. And I won't tell anyone about your interest. Besides, that’s for you to tell them.”

Rainbow scoffs "Reading's for eggheads like Kim and Twilight."

Chaser spoke "But sooner or later, you’ll have to tell them yourself. It’s not like you liking Daring Do books makes you an egghead."

Rainbow spoke "You're one to talk bug boy."

Chaser spoke "Hey, I’m not gonna deny it, unlike you."

Rainbow spoke "You weren't here when Pinkie and I along with a half blind Mobian cat had pranked a dumb hyena... It was funny when the hyena screamed like a girl."

Chaser asks "Wait, really?"

Rainbow spoke "Yeah, really!"

That made Chaser burst out laughing.

Rainbow laughs "Wanna know what Dany calls him?"

Chaser asks "Hahaha! What?"

Danyelle spoke "I call him the screamer."

That spooked Rainbow Dash. “Gah! How long have you been there?!”

Danyelle spoke "Long enough to hear that you actually like reading Daring Do."

Chaser spoke "See? There's nothing wrong with reading."

Unfortunately, Rainbow Dash’s head once again, became as red as an apple.

Danyelle asks "Skittles?"

Rainbow Dash only sighed in defeat as she admitted, “Okay, I’ll tell Twilight and Kim about it, but I’m not proud of it, and it doesn’t make me an egghead!”

Danyelle spoke "That's great Dash."

Rainbow Dash just dashed off straight to Twilight’s house.

Danyelle hoisted Chaser onto her back before running after the mare.

Twilight asks "Rainbow, Dany, Chaser? What brings you to the library?"

Danyelle spoke "Well, Rainbow Dash and Chaser have been discharged from the hospital, and Rainbow has something she’d like to say to you and Kim."

Twilight spoke "I'll pass the word along."

Rainbow spoke "Okay, I admit it! I like reading!"

Chaser passes the two books back to Twilight.

Chaser spoke "What Rainbow Dash means is that she loves the Daring Do book you gave her."

Danyelle spoke "Give the right book to a pony and they'll love the series."

Twilight just chuckled before going back in, spotting a golden yellow Pegasus stallion with blue eyes and a two-tone sapphire mane.

Twilight spazzes out before fainting.
