Suddenly, Jacob felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned around to see just who he wanted to see. Fluttershy. "Oh, um, hello, Emerald. Long time no see." she smiled. "Fluttershy!" he grinned. "Boy am I glad to see you!". "Oh, um, me too." she smiled. Rainbow Dash noticed them chatting, and immediately felt threatened. What if he fell deeply in love with Fluttershy and completely forgot about her? What about Color Cannon? How would things go?
"Hey Fluttershy!" she shouted in an angry tone, flying above the party. The crowd went silent. "Emerald doesn't want a little filly like you anywhere near him!". Jacob gasped. "That isn't true!" he screamed. Fluttershy frowned and flapped lightly up into the sky. Rainbow Dash raced up in front of her and gave her a dirty look. "Who do you think you are?! Oh I'm Fluttershy and everybody will always love me just because I really really want them to and Jacob will love me instead of Rainbow Dash because I'm sooo great!" she mocked. "Wait just a Luna damn minute!" called Twilight from the crowd. "Jacob doesn't want you either, Rainbow Crash!". Rainbow dashed over to her. "What in Equestria did you just say to me?" she hissed. "THIS!" Twilight screamed, giving Rainbow a powerful hoof to the face. The crowd gasped and Fluttershy zoomed over to Twilight, throwing her away from Rainbow and giving her the stare. Rarity screamed and tackled Fluttershy to the ground, using her magic to yank at Fluttershy's hair.
Pinkie growled and punched Rarity hard in the horn, causing her to scream in pain and drop Fluttershy. Applejack turned and bucked Pinkie in the face, it was now all complete chaos. Jacob's horn glowed brighter than ever, and the six were lifted apart and held in place. "Everybody, stop! Just stop! I already know which one of you I love the most! Stop trying to make the decision for me! Rainbow Dash, you didn't have to do anything so insane to Fluttershy! Look at her, we were just having a normal conversation, and you came up and challenged her! What is wrong with you!?
And Twilight, Why on earth would you ever think of punching Rainbow? You are the genius of friendship! Why would you destroy it!? Fluttershy, what on earth ever possessed you to be so insane and drastic? What is wrong with you? I thought you represented KINDNESS! Rarity, that was insane! Do you know how much pain you caused Fluttershy? You made her bleed! You, Rarity, should be ashamed! Pinkie Pie, Look what you did to Rarity! You put her through so much pain, that's not funny! Applejack, you know how strong you are, why would you ever buck a friend?" Jacob fumed.
"I'll forgive you all, that's what good friends do! Forgive each other! The one I love most is the one who will always be beautiful in my eyes, and I can imagine our future! The one I love is obviously," Jacob started. He took a deep breath. "The one I love is obviously Rainbow Dash! She's an amazing creature of cool beauty! How can I resist?" Jacob blushed.
Rainbow Dash smiled as tears filled her eyes. "I knew it!" she squealed as she threw herself at Jacob. He chuckled, and pressed his lips to Rainbow's. Rainbow's eyes widened, but she didn't pull away. "Forget time, I want to marry you! Now!" Rainbow squeaked. Jacob kissed her again, and the crowd cooed.
Five years later...
Rainbow Dash slammed the door behind her as she staggered into her home. Jacob sighed and trotted down the stairs. Rainbow dashed to the toilet (which Jacob had finally had installed) and vomited loudly. She reeked of alcohol and bar scum. Color Cannon came rushing down the stairs. "Is mama ok?" he asked. "Yes, mama's fine. C'mon, let's go back up stairs and check on Scootaloo. She's very sick." Jacob reassured. Scootaloo coughed and pulled her small blanket closer. Color Cannon cantered into the room. His stomach grumbled desperately, but since they had no money, there was nothing to eat. He hadn't eaten in three days. Scootaloo was only just a baby, how long would she survive like this? Jacob assumed it wouldn't be very long.
Scootaloo's diaper was beggining to rip, but only because they couldn't afford a new one. Jacob couldn't watch this anymore. He grabbed Scootaloo and laid her on his back. "Color Cannon, let's go. We're leaving." he stated flatly. "But what about mama?" the multicolored colt asked. "Mama's done nothing but make us all hungry and poor, forget about mama!" he fumed. Color cowered, and followed Jacob. "Rainbow!" he screamed, entering the bathroom. "We're leaving! I'm taking the kids and we're leaving! I could have picked anypony to love and I had to pick you! Look where that got me!" he snarled. Before Rainbow could speak, Jacob and the kids had left the house.
"Kids, I can't help you, I'm not rich or powerful enough. You'll have to be on your own, I can't take care of you." tears streamed from Jacob's eyes as he spoke. He placed the foal and colt in a box. Color and Scootaloo sobbed, but all Jacob could do was walk away. Suddenly, who should he bump into, but Twilight. "Oh my Luna, Jacob! I've been looking for you for years! Five to be exact! Jacob, I can make you human again!" she cheered.
Jacob thought for a moment. His parents and brother all thought he was dead, and his current pony life was about as great as s***. "Turn me back!" he yipped. Twilight's horn glowed bright, and then, everything went black. When he awoke, it was to the sight of a wooden ceiling above his head. It wasn't a log, it was a real wooden ceiling. HIS wooden ceiling. How would he explain this to his family? He tried to think of a good way to make an entrance. He pried open his window, hopped out, and jumped to the ground. It was very hard to walk on two feet after six years of hooves.
He stood tall, and checked his watch. 9:00 pm. He took a deep breath, and knocked three firm knocks on the door. "Coming!" called his mother's voice. The door swung open and her round, smooth face smiled at him. Then, she froze. Her smile fell, and her eyes widened. "JACOB!!!" she screamed, sobbing and hugging him tighter than ever before. His father and brother came stampeding down the stairs. Once they saw Jacob, they followed his mother's lead.
After about six years, Rainbow Dash's alcohol addiction ended, and she straightened out. She has no memory of ever marrying or having kids, and Scootaloo was too young to ever remember her. Color Cannon didn't survive. After a week, he died of starvation, and was buried a month afterwards.
