//------------------------------// // Roses Are Gold // Story: Friendship is Epic - Book 2: Dat Mareami Heat // by FlareGun45 //------------------------------// Rainbow Dash and her husband Blaze Goldheart were fast asleep in their house above my trailer. I couldn’t really sleep that well last night because I was afraid their house was going to fall on me, but we’re not starting the story with me, we’re starting the story with them! Rainbow wakes up, yawning hugely, and climbing out of bed. She walks over to the bathroom to brush her mane, and she goes over to Blaze saying; “Wake up, sleepy head!” Blaze was still asleep. Rainbow kept booping his nose, waiting for him to wake up. “Hey, Goldheart? Get up!” Blaze just swiped Rainbow’s hoof away, and turned over. Rainbow removed his covers, and his pillow, and whacking him with the pillow. “HEY, WAKE UP!” “WHOA! Wah?” Blaze woke up, and fell out of bed. “Dang it, Rainbow! Always waking me up like I’m in some sort of military or something!” “Uh, hello? You’re part of the Wonderbolts!” Rainbow reminded him. “This is why you do late night training! It’s 2:00 in the afternoon!” “Sorry, babe.” Blaze said, rubbing his head. “Spitfire wouldn’t leave me alone last night.” “That’s Spitfire for ya, all work and no play!” Rainbow said. “Yeah.” Blaze said, climbing out of bed, cracking his neck and stretches. “Blaze, something weird is going on.” Rainbow said. “Oh yeah?” Blaze asked. “All of a sudden, I’m craving eggs. Weird, never had cravings before.” Rainbow said. “Except for that one time I craved burning tire rubber.” A cutaway shows Rainbow walking past a tire refinery. She smirks and then starts doing many of her awesome tricks in them, but as she was doing tricks, she accidentally twisted her wing, and landed on a tire. Once she got up, she licked her lips and tasted the tire around her mouth. From that day forward, she ordered tires from Pepcolts, and usually either fries them or puts them in soup. The cutaway ends. “I’m sure your craving is nothing. I can make you some eggs if you want.” Blaze said. “I guess you’re right! To the kitchen it is!” Rainbow said as the scene transitions with a giant Batman logo popping in and then going back. Blaze and Rainbow both walked over to the kitchen to get some breakfast, but Rainbow’s sister Candy Cotton was already there, cooking something. “Oh! Hey, Candy!” Blaze said. “Hey, Blaze! Hey, Rainbow!” Candy said. “Nice to see you, squirt! What’s for breakfast?” Rainbow asked. “Eggs and bagels!” Candy said. “Nice!” Blaze said. “Sounds good! I’m starved!” Rainbow said. Candy giggled. “Hi, Starve! I’m Candy!” Blaze sighed. “I hate it when Flare encourages her to make these jokes.” “Hey! He’s also the one that taught me how to cook!” Candy said. “He taught you how to cook?” Blaze asked. “Yeah! You two are never around to teach me much, but it’s ok. I’m always there for you two!” Candy said. “Sorry, Candy. We’ve just been so busy.” Blaze said. “You know. He’s a Wonderbolt, I’m almost a wonderbolt, but it’s great to see you, squirt.” Rainbow said, messing up Candy’s mane. Candy starts giggling. “Stop messing up my mane, Rainbow! That’s the wind’s job! You’re gonna make the wind mad!” “Aww, but you’re my sister! It’s my job to bug ya! I couldn’t ask for a better one than you!” Rainbow said, booping her nose. “Yeah! You’re really somepony we can live without, sis-in-law!” Blaze said. “Thank you, Blaze! I know we had a lot of trouble getting along, but I think of you as more of a dad, then my own dad.” Candy said. “Don’t tell the wind though.” “Thanks, Candy! You’re like a daughter to me too!” Blaze said. “Nah, you don’t mean that!” Candy said. “I do! I really do!” Blaze said. “I’d like to see you prove it, Goldheart!” Candy said, smirking at him. Rainbow giggles. “You’re as bad as I am, Candy, but you should know we love having you around! Nopony could ever replace you!” “Oh…. well then…..” Candy said, drinking up her orange juice. “Mmm! That’s good OJ!” They were all silent for a few moments. “Awww, come here you both!” Candy tackle hugs Blaze, and Rainbow joins along, having their own little loving moment, but as the hug was going on, Candy felt a little shove coming from inside Rainbow. Candy felt insulted, and let go of her. “My Luna, Rainbow! If you really wanted me to let go, you could’ve just said so.” “What do you mean? I didn’t do anything.” Rainbow said, confusingly. “You pushed me with your huge gut! Flare’s right, you need to lose some weight! I mean seriously! Look at that thing hanging out!” Candy complained. Rainbow looks down at her gut. “Sweet Celestia!” Blaze just stood there, looking at the gut. “BLAZE! What is going on with me?! How am I gaining weight?” “Rainbow…… I don’t think you’re gaining weight.” Blaze said, looking pretty surprised. “What do you mean?” Rainbow asked. ”I mean, I think you should see a doctor.” Blaze said. “What? Is this bad?” Rainbow asked. “I don’t know, but I think I might have a clue to what this is, but we should talk to a doctor to know for sure.” Blaze said. “For a second, I had the feeling you swallowed Tank.” Candy said to Rainbow. Just then, Tank was flying by and he crashes into Apollo’s head. “Ow!” Apollo cried. Shortly after, Rainbow, Blaze, and Candy all went over to the hospital where Rainbow was getting tested to see the source of her weight gain. Candy and Blaze were in the waiting room. Blaze was pacing around, back and forth, while Candy was sitting there, feeling really bored. “I’m bored!” Candy complained. “Well sorry to hear that, Candy,” Blaze said annoyingly, “for the 18th time.” “I don’t like hospitals, but luckily I was never a patient in one.” Candy said. “Almost every foal in the world started off in a hospital. Of course you were a patient in one.” Blaze corrected her. “How do you know? You weren’t there. Don’t pretend you were there.” Candy reminded him. Right before Blaze was about to snap, Rainbow stepped out, with tears in her eyes. “Rainbow, what is it?” Blaze asked. “I am not gaining weight.” Rainbow said. “I kinda figured it. What is it then?” Blaze asked. “I’m….. I’m….. PREGENANT!” Rainbow yelled. “WHAT?!” Blaze yelled. Blaze knocks backwards, and leans down on one of the waiting room chairs. Blaze’s head was spinning! Oh I wish his head was spinning not in a figure-of-speech kind of way, but in a real way. It’s too bad I wasn’t there. I’m pretty surprised that it’s taking me a long time for me to appear in this dang chapter! “Are you serious?” “Of course I am, dimwit!” Rainbow yelled. “I….. I don’t believe this. I suppose that explains the morning sickness, the cravings, the gut…” Blaze said, poking her gut. “Is that why you’re crying too?” Candy asked. “Crying tears of joy?” “No. I had to have a shot and I hate needles.” Rainbow corrected her. Rainbow starts pacing around the room very nervously. “Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no! I’m not ready for this!” “Rainbow, calm down! We’ll be ok.” Blaze said, holding her tight. “This is a wonderful thing, and you know it.” “What does ‘pregnant’ mean?” Candy asked. “It means Rainbow is having a foal.” Blaze said. “WHAT?! You’re having a foal Rainbow? That’s awesome!” Candy said. “Since when did this happen?” “Uhh….” Blaze said, raising his hoof and chuckles nervously. “Guilty as charged!” “I DON’T BELIEVE THIS!” Pinkie cried, bursting into the hospital, and dancing around with balloons and her party cannon. “RAINBOW IS HAVING A FOAL! YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS?!” “Whoa! Pinkie, how did you know?” Blaze asked. “What do you think? She’s Pinkie Pie! She’s always the first to know!” Rainbow said. “A good party-throwing, fourth-wall breaking pony like me, never reveals ALL her secrets.” Pinkie said, smirking at them. “Pinkie, this is serious! I’m not ready to be a mom!” Rainbow freaked out. “You should’ve thought of that when you were having your fun with Blaze!” Pinkie said, winking at her. “Shut up, Pinkie!” Blaze blushed. “It’s not my fault! He did it!” Rainbow blushed, pointing to Blaze. “What does she mean by ‘fun’?” Candy asked. “DUH! Having fun jumping around on the bed, falling off and breaking your head! Then mama calls the doctor, and the doctor says, ‘NO MORE PONIES JUMPING ON THE BED!’ Then they call a bird called a stork, and they order a foal! THE END! That’s what my Nana Pinkie told me!” “And…. You’re about our age, and you still believe in that?” Blaze asked. “I always believe of what my Nana Pinkie says!” Pinkie said. “That’s where foals come from. Flare and I had our fun the night before Winter Wrap-Up, but we never bothered calling the stork. Played it safe, if you know what I mean.” Rainbow facehooves. “Why do I even bother?” “THIS IS SO COOL! I’m gonna throw us a party!” Pinkie cried. “You mean a foal shower?” Blaze asked. Pinkie giggled. “Sure! It’ll be great bathing some foals!” “That sounds disturbing.” Candy said. “He means, a party celebrating the foal. Like with gifts and stuff.” Rainbow corrected her. “I LOVE GIFTS! Especially giving them!” Pinkie yelled. “Wait until we tell the others!” “Don’t let this get out! The stupid press will be all over this!” Rainbow said. “It’s gonna be between us, Rainbow!” Pinkie said. “You, me, Twilight, Fluttershy, Rarity, AppleJack, Pinkie Pie- Oh wait! I’m Pinkie Pie!” “I agree with Rainbow. I don’t want these vultures, prowling over us.” Blaze said. “What are vultures gonna do?” Pinkie asked. “Look, once our friends know, they could tell others!” Rainbow said. “You can at least trust me and Flare!” Pinkie said. Oh finally! I’m at least mentioned in here! Rainbow and Blaze both looked at each other, and then Blaze looked at Rainbow’s stomach, and patted it, and smiled. “My son or daughter is in here, and I can’t wait until he or she comes! This is the best thing that’s ever happened to me, Dashie!” Blaze said. “Me too, Blaze! Me too!” Rainbow smiled and nodded. “Should I tell the wind?” Candy asked. Blaze didn’t know whether of not to tell me the great news, but regardless, he walked on over to my shop. He kept on thinking if he should do this, or shouldn’t. He walks inside, and he sees me along with Lyra and Bonnie, laughing behind the counter. Blaze gets angry. “FLARE!” Blaze yelled. He flies over to me, and pins me to the wall. “HOW MUCH DID YOU HEAR?!” “I heard a lot, brah.” I said. Blaze groaned angrily and unpins me. “How is that a problem? I didn’t think it would affect you that much!” “IT AFFECTS ME A LOT!” Blaze yelled. “It’s only a game, man! It doesn’t really matter! I dunno why you’re so angry face about it!” I said. “WELL I- wait, what are you talking about?” Blaze asked. “It turns out GTA 5 is going to have THREE playable characters at once!” I said. “Oh.” Blaze said. “Isn’t that awesome?” I asked. “Yeah….. sure.” Blaze said. “Yeah, you feel relieved on that don’t ya?” I asked. “Flare, I think Blaze is hiding something.” Bonnie assumed. “Oh are you now, Blaze?” I asked, smirking at him. “What do you mean?” Blaze asked nervously. “Yeah, what do you mean, Bonnie?” I asked her. “He couldn’ve attacked you for no reason. He thought you knew something, and now he feels relieved that you don’t.” Bonnie said. “Yeah that is true. Blaze Goldheart, what are you hiding from me?” I asked. “Well….. I…..” Blaze sighed. “Maybe it’s best if we gave you a minute.” Lyra suggested. “Yeah for sure. Excuse us, ladies.” I said to them, and then Lyra and Bonnie walked back to their stations so I can talk to Blaze personally. “What is it, man?” “Well….. I don’t feel comfortable by saying this. You promise you can keep a secret?” Blaze asked. “You know I can keep secrets. You keep giving me them! How about you slow down on the secrets?” I asked. “Alright, well…. Rainbow Dash….. she’s….. pregnant.” Blaze said. “What? Rainbow Dash is joining a pageant? Don’t worry, bro! My lips are sealed!” I promised. “A pageant? NO! I said she’s pregnant!” Blaze said a little louder. “She lost her net? Well, she can always borrow one of mine if she wants.” I said. Blaze started steaming, and then yelled. “NO! RAINBOW DASH IS PREGENANT!” After he said that, the whole shop looked at us and Blaze was feeling really embarrassed. “Ugh…” “She’s pregnant? Congratulations to her! Who got her pregnant?” I asked. “Who do you think?” Blaze asked sarcastically. “I was gonna say me, but I would’ve known if I did anything freaky with her.” I said. “Ooo! Was it Soarin?” “No! It was me!” Blaze yelled. “Oh, I was gonna say Engie next.” I said. “Congratulations, brah! You and Dashie are becoming a mommy and a daddy, huh? How does it feel?” “I don’t know, man.” Blaze said. “But I thought having a foal would be one of the greatest things that ever happened to you?” I asked. “It is! It’s really awesome being a parent, but I don’t know if we’re ready to have one.” Blaze said. “Well you should’ve thought of that when you and Rainbow were having a little fun together.” I said. “Yeah, Pinkie said the same thing.” Blaze said. “That’s my girl!” I said. “So you all gonna have a foal bath soon?” “It’s pronounced foal shower, Flare.” Blaze corrected me. “ARE YOU GONNA HAVE IT?!” I asked again angrily. “Calm down, man!” Blaze advised me. “Well, you say it your way, and I’ll say my way, alright? Now are you gonna have one?” I asked again. I suppose so. Pinkie already planned it.” Blaze said. “When and where?” I asked. “I think we’re meeting at Twilight’s house tonight.” Blaze said. “All of Pinkie’s parties take place at the same locations. Ever get tired of those places?” I asked. “I suppose.” Blaze said. “Except for that one time we went to Running of the Bulls.” I said. A cutaway shows Pinkie, me, and a couple of other ponies running away from a stampede of bulls. “PINKIE! WHY WOULD YOU PLAN THIS KIND OF PARTY?!” AppleJack yelled. “BECAUSE IT’S FUN! FEEL THE ADERNALINE!” Pinkie yelled. “Nice bulls! Nice…. Gentle…. Bulls!” Fluttershy said, all frightened. Fluttershy, Spike, and I were hanging on a flagpole, waiting for the stampede to stop. We jump off, and feel relieved that we’re alright. As we catch our breath, Iron Will runs by saying; “Whether it’s big or small, Iron Will’s got it all!” “YOU’RE NOT BILLY MAYS!” I yelled at him. “Iron Will’s not a bull, he’s a minotaur. Get it right!” Spike complained. The cutaway ends with Rainbow Dash and Blaze just about to head over to the foal shower. “Are you sure you can fly over to Twilight’s with that foal?” Blaze asked. “I’ll be fine.” Rainbow said. “You do know you have to be EXTRA careful now, right? You’re carrying precious cargo now.” Blaze reminded her. “I know! I’ll be fine, just a bit of a…. slow start.” Rainbow said as she started flying, but only a little bit. She was just floating there, having some trouble. “Be careful!” Blaze cried. “I’m careful, don’t worry! Oh, I’m already feeling light headed.” Rainbow said, holding her head, and landing back gently on the ground. “Maybe I should just carry you.” Blaze suggested. “No, no! I can handle it!” Rainbow said, starting to fly again, but started getting dizzy again, and started falling, and Blaze caught her just in time. “I’m carrying you.” Blaze said. “Alright, fine! Carry me!” Rainbow said with an attitude. “Just because you have to lie back now doesn’t make you less awesome than you already are.” Blaze said, smiling at her. “Awww!” Rainbow said, blushing, and nuzzling Blaze. Blaze starts flying, holding Rainbow on his back, and starts heading over to Twilight’s house for the shower. Rainbow and Blaze thought it was a romantic view, flying together in the air, seeing Ponyville from down below. Eventually, Blaze lands over near Twilight’s house, and Rainbow pops off Blaze, but has a little trouble, and she knocks on the door. Twilight opens it with a smile on her face saying, “Hey! There’s the new parents, or at least one of them!” “Hey, Twilight! Good to see ya!” Rainbow said. “Wait what do you mean by that?” Blaze asked her. “Oh nothing. Why won’t the THREE of you come in?” Twilight asked, moving out of the way so they can go in. Blaze chuckles at Twilight’s joke, “Nice one, Twilight!” “What? It’s true!” Twilight said. “Sure is!” Rainbow said. “Thanks for doing this for us! Let’s just hope this is kept secret.” “SURPRISE!” everypony in the room yelled; including the Mane Six, the Noble Six, Spike, Cheerilee, and Big Mac. “Sweet Luna, Pinkie! How many ponies did you tell?!” Rainbow surprisingly asked. “All our friends!” Pinkie said. “And Psyche.” Engie added. “Oh, har har, Engie.” Psyche said with an annoyed tone. Rainbow laughed. “Good to see you too, Psyche!” “See? Rainbow Dash is nice to me. What’s your problem?” Psyche complained. “Come! Sit down! We got presents!” AppleJack said. “Yay, presents! Gimmie!” Crystal cried, trying to grab AJ’s present, but AJ slapped he hoof away. “Ah, ah, ah! Not for you, Crystal! They’re for the foal!” AppleJack said. “Unless you want a pacifier and some diapers.” Engie teased. “Sure! I’d love a pacifier; and maybe if I have a diaper, I don’t have to get up at night to go to the bathroom!” Crystal said. A cutaway shows me laying in bed, but then I wake up and say, “Oh no, I have to go pee! Oh wait, I’m wearing a diaper now, I could just go in here!” I close my eyes, and do my business. “Ahh, that’s better- Oh no, wait, I didn’t have to pee; I had to poop. Dang.” The cutaway ends. So the first gift Rainbow Dash takes is AppleJack’s gift; she then opens it. “It’s mah old mobile.” AppleJack said. “Wow! It has stars, apples, and even the princesses on it!” Rainbow said. “When ah was a foal, it put me right to sleep. It worked on me, but it was too ‘girly’ for Apple Bloom. Big Mac here loved it; went to sleep every night with it, but he needed to retire it.” AppleJack explained. “Eeeyup.” Big Mac nodded sadly. “Now, we’re givin’ it to you.” AppleJack said. “Thanks, AJ! I’m sure the foal will love it as much as you did.” Rainbow said. Blaze nodded. “Yeah! It definitely will!” “Ooo, ooo! Open mine! OPEN MINE!” Pinkie yelled excitedly and hopped in place, carrying a present in front of Rainbow Dash. Rainbow laughs. “Okay, Pinkie; hoof it over!” Rainbow takes the present, and it opens it. “It’s a music box!” Pinkie said as the music box starts playing. “A music box? Awesome! I had one of these when I was a foal!” Blaze said. “So did I! I guess we have a family collection!” Rainbow said. “But you should keep the music box winded up so you don’t wake it up.” Pinkie said. “Wake who up?” Rainbow asked. “You really don’t wanna know.” Pinkie said. “Umm… ok.” Rainbow said as she winded up the music box some more. The music box was playing ‘My Grandfather’s Clock’. “Ah didn’t get a music box. All ah got when ah was a foal was a rock and a case of dental floss.” Engie said. “But ah did make a mean machine outta those babies.” “Thank you for the gift, Pinkie!” Blaze said. “Remember, auntie Pinkie loves you!” Pinkie said. “That’s so cute! Thanks, Pinks!” Rainbow said, smiling at her. “Aww! Anything for my bestest friends in the whole wrong!” Pinkie said, hugging Rainbow and Blaze. Rainbow hugs Pinkie back and says, “I can already tell that you’re going to be a great aunt!” “You definitely are!” Blaze agreed. “Hey, where’s my hug, Pinkie?” I complained. Pinkie gave me a mischievous look, then she jumped onto me, and I fell over. “Alright, who’s next?” Blaze asked. He looks down and sees a present with butterflies on them. “I’m guessing this is Fluttershy’s.” Fluttershy blushed and looked the other way. Blaze opened it, and it reveals to be a perfectly knitted teddy bear. “Aww! A teddy bear!” Blaze said. “The foal will love this!” Fluttershy covered her face, blushing even more and more until her face became bright red…. JUST LIKE ME! “C’mere, you!” Rainbow said, giving Fluttershy a big hug. “Y-your welcome, Rainbow Dash. I-I made it myself.” Flutters said, shyly. “I stayed up all night working on it. Tried to knit it perfectly. I-I just hope your foal will…. Like it.” “Our foal will love it. Thank you, Fluttershy!” Rainbow said, smiling at her, and Fluttershy smiled back. “How about we open Twilight’s next?” Blaze asked, giving the present to Rainbow. She opens up the present. “It’s the entire Daring Do collection!” Twilight said. “I know how much you love Daring Do, Rainbow Dash. So I decided to make copies, and give them all to you to read to your foal. Make sure she’s brave and adventurous, like you.” “Twilight, we don’t know what gender it will be yet.” Blaze corrected her. “With parents like us, there’s no doubt he or she will love adventures!” Rainbow said. “He or she’ll love these books.” Blaze said. “Glad you like them!” Twilight said, squeeing. “Open mah present next. Ah made something extra special for the foal.” Engie said. Rainbow takes the present and opens it. “It’s a foal walkie-talkie! Y’all will be able to listen to the foal, in case they’re cryin’ or something.” “You mean a foal monitor?” Rainbow asked. “Exactly!” Engie said. “This was really thoughtful, Engie! Thanks!” Blaze said. “But wait, is it safe, Engie? Ya inventions tend to explode at times.” Aqua said. “It’s COMPLETELY safe!” Engie said. “But wait, I only see one. Where’s the other one?” Twilight asked. Engie was silent for a sec. “What? How many are there supposed to be?” he asked. “Two.” Twilight said. “Aww shoot.” Engie said. “It’s alright, Engie! I’m sure we can just buy a pair.” Blaze said. “NO! Ah must complete the present!” Engie said and stood up. “Ah’ll build ya a second one, and get it ready by tomorrow! Ah promise!” Engie then runs out of the house in a hurry. “Wow, he sure is dedicated.” Rainbow said. “Here you are, darling!” Rarity said, giving Rainbow her gift. “I’m sure you’ll find mine to be quite dashing.” “No pun intended.” Crystal teased as she and the Mane Six started to laugh. “Those mares are easy to humor.” I whispered to Aqua. “They’d laugh at the most obvious of all jokes.” “I bet they’d think ‘look a gift horse in the mouth’ is funny.” Aqua said. “HA! Nice one, Aqua!” AppleJack chuckled. “Ok then.” Aqua said awkwardly. “It’s a nice little picture frame made by Sweetie Belle and I! A little something beautiful for your foal to see!” Rarity said, explaining her gift. “Why is there a picture of you wearing a bikini, Rarity?” Psyche asked. “Huh? Oh, that picture is just something to…. keep the shape.” Rarity blushed, and grabbed the picture out of the frame and hid it behind her back. Rainbow giggled. “We think it’s thoughtful, Rarity!” “Aqua! Get up here!” Blaze instructed him. Aqua gave Blaze the present and said, “Wind Racer and I both got this for ya, Blaze.” “We hope you like it!” Wind Racer said. Oh right, I forgot to mention that Wind Racer was here too. “I’m sure we will!” Blaze said, and opened it. “It’s a little carved necklace of the Wonderbolts logo.” Aqua said. “I made it!” Wind Racer said and smiled. “Yeah, but I gave the idea.” Aqua said. “But I made it!” Wind Racer repeated herself. “ME! I made it! Don’t you forget that garbage!” “Oh it’s garbage alright.” Crystal teased. “Oh it’s awesome! The foal will love it!” Rainbow said. “Glad ya like it.” Aqua said. “I made it.” Wind Racer repeated. “Alright, Psyche! Let’s see yours!” Rainbow said. “Sure thing, Dashie!” Psyche said, giving her the present, and she opened it. “It’s one of my old mini-telescopes. I couldn’t think of what to get it. I hope this is good enough.” “Oh it’s great! Don’t worry, Psyche! Very thoughtful!” Blaze said. “Let’s see what Crystal has!” Rainbow said. “Here you go, my rainbow twin!” Crystal said, giving her the gift. “Huh? Blaze, do we look alike?” Rainbow asked. “Hm… I don’t think so.” Blaze said, observing her. “I see it! Crystal and Rainbow look alike; except Crystal has green eyes, Rainbow has violet; her hair is blue, and yours is rainbow.” I explained. Rainbow just opens the present, and Pinkie’s head is inside the box. “SURPRISE!” Pinkie cried. “AAAGGH!” Rainbow yelled, letting go of the box, and then they both started laughing. “PINKIE!” “We got you good, didn’t we?” Crystal laughed as she hoof-bumped Pinkie’s hoof. “Yeah you sure did!” Blaze said. “Ready for mine?” Cheerilee asked, showing them the box. Rainbow takes it and opens it. “It’s little drawings that my whole class made for arts and crafts!” “Awww, that’s so adorable!” Rainbow said. “Guess who’s idea was it?” Cheerilee asked them. “Scootaloo’s?” Rainbow guessed wildly. “Sure was! She wanted you to be the best mom ever, and she would want to play with her anytime.” Cheerilee said. “I’ll be sure to take the squirt up to it.” Rainbow said. “Wow, this is a nice drawing! It’s a picture of your foal with Gem Headpiece, and Dull Tableware!” I said, looking at the drawing that Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon made. “I can’t stand bullies! Those two will NOT be hanging out with our foal.” Blaze said. Rainbow had a disgusting look on her face, as she took out a drawing that was all snotty. “Let me guess…. Snips and Snails?” she asked. Cheerilee nodded. “Uh… let’s see Flare’s! Last but not least!” Blaze said. ”FINALLY!” I yelled, getting up and walking towards Rainbow. “Oh you’re gonna love it! Water and I worked nonstop to get this! Rainbow, you’re gonna spill your water once you see this!” “Flare, that’s—OW!” Rainbow yelled. “Rainbow? Are you ok?” Blaze asked. “I’m fine…. I’m just-OW! No, I’m not fine! I think my water broke!” Rainbow yelled. “WHAT?! Already?!” Blaze yelled. “Aw c’mon! You didn’t even see it yet!” I complained. “You were supposed to spill your water when you see it! B-T-W, you didn’t break your water yet!” Spike walked over to the water glass near Rainbow Dash and knocked it over. “There you go, happy Flare?” “Flare, that means that foal’s coming! We need to get her to the hospital!” Blaze yelled and Rainbow was taking deep breaths. “Want me to call an ambulance?” Twilight asked. “No! It’ll take too long! I can get her there!” Blaze said, as he gently takes Rainbow, and puts her on his back. “Just hurry! We’ll catch up!” Twilight instructed them as she opening the door, and Blaze flew off with Rainbow. “NICE JOB, FOAL!” Pinkie said angrily. “Totally ruined the party!” “Let’s get this place cleaned up and head over to the hospital.” AppleJack suggested. “Wait a minute, why do I hear Pop Goes the Wesel?” I asked as the Jack in the Box song started playing in the background. “I warned Blaze to keep that music box wined.” Pinkie said. “AAAH!” I cried as I get attacked by some sort of puppet with a creepy clown face on it. Over at the hospital, Rainbow Dash was already in bed, breathing hard, and Blaze was in there with her. “Blaze….. I’m scared!” Rainbow said to him with tears in her eyes. “I feel like I’m gonna die!” “It’s ok!” Blaze said, holding her hoof. “All sick ponies feel that way. Everypony thought Little Wayne was gonna die, but he turned out ok.” “Is that good or bad?” Rainbow asked. “I dunno, I can’t judge. Others don’t like him, but… I don’t… I don’t judge by their music.” Blaze said. Rainbow continued panting. “I’m scared! I can’t be a mother, and what if there’s something wrong with the foal?!” “RRRGH! J-just breathe!” Blaze ordered her. “Just breathe, Mrs. Goldheart.” The Doctor said to her. “Your foal should be here soon. In fact, it’s coming quicker than predicted!” “It hurts! IT HURTS!” Rainbow yelled. “That’s what she said.” The doctor teased. “BREATHE, Rainbow!” Blaze demanded. Rainbow starts breathing again. “Ok…. It doesn’t hurt so much anymore.” Meanwhile, in the waiting room, Pinkie is pacing back and forth, gnawing on a rubber glove, and then eating it. After she eats the glove, she gets another one and gnaws on it. Pinkie was really nervous for Rainbow Dash. “Pinkie, just sit down and calm down, dear.” Rarity instructed her. “HOW CAN I?! RAINBOW IS HAVING A FOAL?!” Pinkie yelled. “Pinkie, Blaze is in there with her. Everything will be fine.” Twilight said. “Yeah, sugarcube! Y’all shouldn’t worry ‘bout nuthin’.” AppleJack said. “I wanna go in there, and give Rainbow and Blaze my present!” I complained. “Flare, you can give them your present AFTER the foal is born.” Twilight said. “Why can’t I just go in there? I wanna see!” I whined. “Eww, Flare that’s disgusting!” Crystal said. “Says the one who didn’t even give them a real present.” I said, glaring at her. “Oh snap. That was a burn.” Crystal said. “They need our support right now, Flare. We’ll just have to wait.” Flutters said. “Wow, I haven’t been this nervous since the first time I tried asking a mare out.” Spike said. A cutaway shows a group of teenage mares talking, Spike runs over to them and he says, “Hi!” and then he run away giggling, and they just look at him like ‘What just happened?’ As the cutaway gag ends, Psyche comes back into the room with some pasta, soup, and green beans. “You guys gotta try this food! I dunno why everypony says hospital food tastes bad, it tastes delicious!” “Y’all got that food from the cafeteria, or is that food for the patience?” AppleJack asked. “Cafeteria.” Psyche said. “It’s the patient food that tastes bad, Psyche.” AppleJack said. “Whatever.” Psyche shrugged, and continued eating it. “I just love it!” Pinkie starts eating two rubber gloves at the same time and yells, “WHEN IS THE FOAL COMING?!” She then hops on top of Fluttershy, and they both fall to the floor. Over in the corner, Candy Cotton was drawing a picture, and Twilight takes a peek at it. “Whatcha drawing, Candy?” Twilight asked. “Drawing a picture of me, and my new niece of nephew!” Candy said, showing the picture. “We’re gonna do acrobatic stunts, go fishing, do arts and crafts, play on the tator totter, catch the monster in my closet, and maybe if we’re lucky, we’ll be able to join the Junior Wonderbolts!” “I can tell you and the foal will be such good friends, Candy!” Twilight said. “Thanks, Twilight! Maybe you can show her some of your magic tricks!” Candy suggested. “Now that sounds like a good idea!” Twilight said. “And then when she grows up, I’ll tell her the truth saying that all your magic tricks are fake.” Candy said. Just then, everypony hears a loud screaming coming from Rainbow’s room, and has the sound of a baby crying. “Wow, Rainbow screamed so loud, that she sounds like she’s crying like a baby.” Crystal said. A little while later, Nurse Redheart comes into the waiting room. “WHAT IS IT?!” Pinkie yelled, gobbling up all the rubber gloves in the box in one gulp. “Your friend is healthy, and she gave birth to a beautiful little filly!” Nurse Redheart said. All of us gasped. “Will you all keep it down? I’m trying to pour myself some of this free coffee while trying to figure out why they have Facebook blocked on these hospital computers.” Crystal said. Meanwhile in the hospital room, Rainbow is holding her foal on a blanket. We can’t see her face yet though. “Blaze…. She looks so….. awesome!” Rainbow said with tears in her eyes. “Yeah…. No kidding!” Blaze agreed. “What should we name her?” Rainbow asked. Blaze thought it out for a sec, and he made his choice. “Rose…. Because she has your beautiful rose eyes.” He said, smiling at Rainbow. “Oh, you!” Rainbow said, kissing his nose and the foal giggles. It shows her face. She’s gray, and she has red and yellow hair like Blaze, but she has Rainbow’s eyes. “See? Now that wasn’t so bad, right?” Blaze asked Rainbow. Rainbow glares at him with the fury of a thousand suns. “Wasn’t so bad? WASN’T SO BAD!?!” she yelled at him. “A-are you sure it’s safe to go in there?” Flutters asked while standing outside Rainbow’s room. “LET ME SEE!” Pinkie yelled, bursting inside the room with her party cannon. “Whoa, stop!” Blaze said to Pinkie, stopping her from using the cannon. “You’re gonna wake the foal!” “Well, duh! You can’t have a party while you’re asleep!” Pinkie said, rolling her eyes. “Fillies need sleep, and Rainbow is exhausted.” Blaze said. He stares at Rose and starts tearing up. “Are you….. crying, Blaze?” Flutters asked. “Yeah…. I’m just so happy! I’m a father!” Blaze said excitedly. “We’re parents!” Rainbow said excitedly. I start tearing up. “I know, Flare! Isn’t this wonderful?” Flutters asked as she teared up too. “This would be more wonderful if I didn’t sit on a needle!” I said, showing a needle on my flank. Pinkie removes it and I scream; “OW!” Candy Cotton comes inside, and smiles. “My new niece!” Candy runs over near Rainbow. “May I see, sis?” Rainbow doesn’t pay attention to Candy and continues looking at Rose. “Blaze, we have so much planning to do!” Candy goes and pulls on Blaze’s wonderbolt suit. “Blaze! I wanna see!” “I know! What school she’s gonna go to, what to feed her, college plans…. I’ll need to take days off from Wonderbolts training.” Blaze said. “Rainbow? Sis?” Candy tried to get her attention again, but nothing. She runs over, and pulls on my shoe. “Flare?” Ok I think we all know now what’s gonna happen in this chapter. “Bro, she’s so beautiful! I wish I could stop crying so I can take a better look, but that needle I sat on hurts so much, everything’s a blur.” I said. “Oh, by the way, Flare…. Umm…. We’ve been meaning to ask. Rainbow and I were talking and…. We want you and Pinkie to be Rose’s godparents.” Blaze suggested. Pinkie and I both gasped. “THAT WOULD BE AMAZING!” Pinkie yelled and bounced. “I’VE ALWAYS WANTED TO BE A FAIRY GODPARENT!” “Wands and wings, and floaty crowny things!” I said. “Pinkie? ANYPONY?!” Candy yelled, trying to get attention. “No, a god parent. Which means if something were to happen to me and Blaze, you two would take care of Rose.” Rainbow corrected us. “Aww, Pinkie!” I said with more tears in my eyes. “It’s like raising a child of our own- ok, why is everything such a blur? I know tears make it hard to see but c’mon! This is ridiculous!” “I KNOW!” Pinkie yelled. “Can I launch my party cannon now?” “Sure.” Blaze said. Pinkie squeed and launched it. “WOO HOO!” Everypony in the room started dancing and partying. “Hello?! ANYPONY?! Why isn’t anypony paying attention to me?!” Candy yelled. Now it’s pretty obvious what’s gonna happen in this chapter. Meanwhile, a pony was watching them through the window. We didn’t know that he was out there, but he said, “Well, Woldheart! It wooks like you wound me another wescimen for my wollection!” the pony laughs evilly and walks away. We didn’t get a good look at him though so I can’t really explain what he looks like yet. Two weeks went by, and back at Rainbow and Blaze’s house, Rose starts crying, and Rainbow and Blaze are feeling very exhausted. “Again?” Blaze complained. “Ugh! It’s your turn.” Rainbow said, slamming her head on the table, literary. Blaze sighed and said, “Alright…” Blaze takes Rose and starts rocking her in his hooves. “Shh, shh, it’s ok. Are you hungry, Rosie? You want something to eat?” Candy comes trotting inside and walks over to Blaze. “Hey Blaze, you wanna go see who can find the hoops that are scattered around Ponyville? I bet you can’t beat my time!” “Not now, Candy.” Blaze said. “Are you sure?” Candy asked. “Yeah, maybe another time.” Blaze said. Pfft, yeah right! Yeah and that’s what Roman Bellic said but did he get the bowling he was promised? “Ok.” Candy said, and she trotted over to Rainbow. “Hey, sis! Wanna race? I wanna see how you and that meanie Gilda raced!” “Now now, Candy. I have to help Blaze with Rose.” Rainbow said. “Please Rainbow? We never did anything together in ages!” Candy begged. “Maybe another time, Candy. Go hang out with the Cutie Mark Crusaders, or Flare, or something.” Rainbow suggested. “The CMCs are having a meeting and Flare is blind.” Candy said. “Well….. I dunno then.” Rainbow said. “Well…. WHAT CAN I DO?!” Candy yelled. “You can run some errands for us.” Rainbow suggested. “Errands?!” Candy asked. “Yes, errands.” Rainbow said. “I need you to pick up some diapers, some more baby food, a new toy, and I need you to take this robe to the dry cleaners.” “What’s wrong with the robe?” Candy asked. “Rose puked on it.” Rainbow said. “Eww!” Candy said. “Why can’t you do it?” “Because I have to stay here and help Blaze with Rose.” Rainbow said. “Hmph! Fine.” Candy said with an attitude taking some of Rainbow’s money and flies off. Candy walks through town carrying Rainbow’s bath robe, with an attitude. By that I mean Candy has the attitude, not the robe. “Stupid Rainbow! Stupid Blaze! Hanging out with that stupid foal instead of me! Why can’t they spend some time with both of us? Not even Rose likes me that much! I tried playing Peek-a-Boo with her and they just yelled at me!” A cutaway shows Candy covering her eyes in front of Rose, and pops out and says, “Peek-a-boo!” Just then, Rose starts crying, and Blaze comes in and picks Rose up. “Candy! Did you make Rose cry?!” Blaze yelled at her. “I did peek-a-boo! Babies love that!” Candy whined. “Well Rose doesn’t! Go to your room!” Blaze ordered her. “B-but…” Candy stuttered. “Room! Now!” Blaze demanded. Candy stomps all the way to her room. “Shh, shh, it’s ok Rose! Look!” Blaze covers his eyes. “Where’s daddy? Peek-a-boo! Here he is!” Rose starts giggling and Candy just growled when she saw that. The cutaway gag ends about the same time Candy accidentally bumps into me, wearing some sunglasses and a stick. “What? Blaze? Rainbow? Is that you? Do you want my present now? I’ve been trying to call you for days and I’ve been wanting to give this to you.” I said. “Flare, it’s me!” Candy said. “Oh, hey me!” I said. “Sorry about that. That needle I sat on in the hospital and the tears I shed that night made me blind. Everything’s a blur now. Every time I try calling Blaze I get the wrong number! Like that one time I called Moe’s tavern.” Another cutaway gag shows me blind-dialing Blaze, and the voice on the other line said; “Hello, this is Moe’s Tavern.” “Hi, I’m looking for a Blaze Goldheart.” I said. “Oh yeah, you think you’re so funny don’t you? With all your prank calling. Well I AIN’T FALLING FOR THAT AGAIN! DON’T CALL AGAIN!” Moe yelled, and hung up. “Hey! I was prank calling Blaze, not you, dum dum!” I yelled. The cutaway ends. “Anyways, I better get to my shop.” I started walking until I end up in a barber shop and Candy just watches. “Alright! Time to make some delicious pizzas! Wow, my special pizza sauce feels foamy! Why is there scissors in the kitchen? LYRA?! How many times do I have to tell you that the kitchen is not a barber shop! A comb too? You know what, Lyra? How about you work at a barber shop instead of here? Wow, what happened to my sink? It feels like the faucet is a shower.” Meanwhile, at the Cutie Mark Crusaders treehouse, the CMCs try to plan their next stage of getting their flank tattoos. “So, what should we try next to get our cutie marks?” Apple Bloom asked. “I dunno. Something that isn’t lame, I hope.” Scoots said. “How about we try dog grooming cutie marks?” Sweetie Belle suggested. “Dog grooming?” Scoots asked with a boring tone. “Yeah! You’ll see that the dogs would look so cutesy wootsy when we’re done with them!” Sweetie said. “You should see Opal’s smile when Rarity dresses her up. It almost feels like she’s angry!” Just then, Candy opens the door and walks inside. “Uhh, ever heard of knocking?” Sweetie asked. Candy just stood there, rolling her eyes, and knocked on the open door. “Come in!” Sweetie said with a smile. “Hi, Candy Cotton! What brings ya here?” Apple Bloom asked. “Why the long face, Candy?” Scoots asked. “Is that supposed to be a horse joke?” Candy asked. “No! It’s just… wow, I really don’t get that joke.” Scoots said. “Anyways, I’m just wondering, is something the matter?” “Nothing.” Candy said. “Doesn’t look like nothin’.” Apple Bloom said. “Come on, Candy! You can tell us! We’re good listeners!” Sweetie said, holding a notebook. “Maybe I’ll get my therapy cutie mark!” “Well…. It’s Rose.” Candy said. “Isn’t she so adorable?” Sweetie asked. “She is! Ah just wanna pinch her cutie little cheeks!” Apple Bloom said, pinching her own cheeks. I’m talking about the cheeks on her face, alright? “I just wanna stare into her awesome eyes! They look just like Rainbow Dash’s!” Scoots said. “Ah think Rose has a new fan, huh Scootaloo?” Apple Bloom asked. “Totally!” Scoots said. “You know, you girls ain’t helping.” Candy said with an attitude. “How could you not like Rose?” Scoots asked. “Rainbow and Blaze are paying more attention to her than me! IT’S NOT FAIR!” Candy yelled, stomping on the ground. “Whoa! Somepony’s jealous!” Apple Bloom teased. “AM NOT!” Candy yelled. “She is just a baby; she can’t take care of herself.” Sweets said. “Seriously? I’m 10 years old! I’m technically still a baby!” Candy said. “Hey, you can fly just as awesome as Rainbow Dash, you are NOT a baby.” Scoots said. “Am too!” Candy whined. “You look about the same age as us.” Sweetie said. “Looks ain’t everything!” Candy whined. “I can prove to be just as helpless as that little brat Rose, and I’ll prove it!” Candy walked out, and slammed the door shut so hard that a picture frame fell down and broke. “She’s totally jealous!” Apple Bloom teased, and the three of them started giggling. Back at the Rainbow house, Psyche and Crystal fly up to the house and ring the door-bell. “Can you get that Blaze? My hooves are full!” Rainbow yelled rocking Rose in her hooves. Blaze walks over and opens the door. “Hey guys!” “Hey Blaze! We came to check up on things!” Crystal said. “And we have a surprise for little Rosie.” Psyche said. “Well that’s sweet of you guys.” Blaze said. ”Come over to Sugarcube Corner, and bring Rose!” Crystal instructed him. “Who is it, Blaze?!” Rainbow yelled. “It’s Psyche and Crystal! They want us to go to Sugarcube Corner because they have a surprise for us!” Blaze yelled. “Alright, I’m coming!” Rainbow said. “C’mon, Rose! Let’s hit it!” Rose giggled as they started walking out. While they were at it, Candy started crawling on the floor wearing a diaper. By that, I mean Candy’s the one wearing the diaper, not the floor. “Hey Candy, wanna come?” “Goo goo gaga?” Candy asked. “Sooooo is that a yes or a no?” Rainbow asked. “CARRY ME!” Candy yelled. “Sorry, lil sis, I got my hooves full right now.” Rainbow said. “Candy, you’re eleven years old.” Blaze said. “I’m ten! How can you forget my own age?” Candy asked. “Sorry, but you look older for your age.” Blaze said. “Take off that diaper!” “Hang on!” Candy said as she starts grunting and struggling, trying to poop. “Hold on, it’s coming!” She keeps on going for a few minutes, but nothing came, and she gave up. “Ugh! It’ll come! I just need some baked beans.” “That is just gross.” Blaze said. “Take off the diaper, Candy! You coming or not?” Rainbow asked, losing her patience. “Ugh! Fine!” Candy said with an attitude. She takes off the diaper, and throws it on Blaze’s face. “Stop it! That is disgusting!” Blaze complained. “You touch those diapers every day! Even Rose’s dirty one!” Candy said. “But I don’t stuff them in my face!” Blaze corrected her. “Are we going or what?” Psyche asked, losing his patience. “Yeah, we are.” Blaze said. “C’mon, let’s go!” So they all fly off to Sugarcube Corner, but as for me, I was standing right below their house, tapping my stick around because I’m still blind. “Hey what’s going on? Crystal? Psyche? You still up there? For Wizard of Hope’s sake!” I yelled. Blaze flies down and sees me. “Hey, Flare!” he said. “Blaze? Is that you?” I asked, tapping my stick all over the place. “Yeah it’s me.” Blaze said as I stuck the stick in his mouth. He starts coughing and cries, “OW!” “Sorry, brah! I wasn’t able to tell you, but I’m blind.” I said as I lifted my sunglasses and squinted at him. “I can only see a blur. Wow, when you’re a blur, you look like a tiny rhino that squirted ketchup and mustard on its head.” “Really? That’s weird.” Blaze said. “Can you help me get to Sugarcube?” I asked. “Sure, brah!” Blaze said, taking my hoof and leading me over there. By that I mean he grabs my hoof that is still attached to my body, not physically taking it and keeping it for himself. Although, he could borrow it if he wants, I’m not using it at the moment. As we finally arrive at Sugarcube Corner, I said to Rainbow, “I swear, Rainbow, every time I look at you, I think I’m high because when I look at you, I keep seeing colors.” Blaze starts laughing. “So, why did you bring us here, Psyche?” Rainbow asked, holding Rose. “To give Rose a special….” Psyche opens the Sugarcube Corner door. “SURPRISE!” everypony yelled holding a cake that said ‘Happy 2 Week Anniversary Rose’, “Oh you guys!” Blaze said excitedly. “And girls!” Pinkie added. “You didn’t have to!” Rainbow said. “Anything to make Rosie happy.” Aqua said. Rose giggled. “I’m the one who made that Wonderbolts necklace.” Wind Racer said. “Oh, Rosie. If only I could see your cute little smile right now. I can see my bestest bro in you.” I said as I started raspberrying her Aqua’s tummy and Rose starts laughing. “Uhh, Flare?” Aqua asked. “Quiet, Aqua. I’m trying to raspberry this little filly. I’m making her laugh.” I said as I continued rasberrying Aqua’s tummy. Candy just rolls her eyes. “You should tickle her when you get the chance, Blaze. I was never tickled when I was a baby, and now I’m VERY ticklish. Tickling at a young age will help prevent that.” “Well C’MON! Let’s get this party started!” Pinkie yelled, firing her party cannon again, but the weird thing was, the party cannon was black and not blue. Right after the shot was fired, there was a hole on the wall. “Woops, wrong cannon! What happened to my party cannon?” A cutaway shows a pirate captain on a ship getting attacked by another ship. “ARRR! Fire the cannons!” the captain ordered. Once the cannons were fired, the other ship ended up with a bunch of party decorations. “Oh hey, forget this here fighting, let’s party!” one of the pirates on the ship suggested as all the pirates started dancing. The cutaway ends. As Rose’s party started at Sugarcube Corner, the Cake babies, Pumpkin and Pound Cake start waving at her, and Rose waves at them back. “I think Rose wants to meet the Cakes.” Flutters said. “Well then, she will!” Blaze said setting Rose down next to the Cake babies. “Alright, where is that cake?” I asked, tapping my stick everywhere, and into Blaze’s mouth again. Blaze coughs and says, “OW! Stop it!” “I can’t see, brah! You keep getting in my way!” I said. “Rrgh!” Blaze groaned. Candy walks over to the Cake babies and asks, “Hey, mind if I play with you?” The babies just ignored her and kept playing with Rose. Candy got pretty frustrated because nopony was paying attention to her throughout the whole party. Everypony was having a real good time, chatting and playing and stuff, and Candy just stood there angrily and watched. Later on, Rose fell asleep on the couch. Everypony just looked at her with smiles on their faces. “Awww, she’s sleeping!” Flutters said in a soft voice. “I wonder what she’s dreaming about?” Psyche asked in a soft voice. “Shut up, Psyche.” I said in a soft voice. Rainbow Dash nuzzles Rose’s cheek, and Blaze nuzzles her stomach. “I am so proud of you both!” Twilight said. “She’s your creation, a fine treasure you both made together.” “Yeah, and she’ll grow up to be a fine young mare.” Blaze said. “Just like you, Blaze!” I teased and everypony laughs. Candy couldn’t take it anymore, so she laid down on the floor and said, “Hey look, I’m sleeping too! Wanna see?” “She has our mane, Rainbow.” Crystal said. “But she has Blaze’s color.” Rainbow said. “How am I supposed to know what she actually looks like? To me, she looks like an even smaller rhino that squirted ketchup and mustard on their mane.” I said. “Hey, you wanna see me do a cool trick?” Candy asked, but still nopony paid attention to her. “Ah she likes the foal formula I got her.” Aqua said. “She loves it, Aqua!” Rainbow said. “Hey, everypony, I’m about to light up a bunch of matches while I cut myself with a knife. Is that ok?” Candy asked. Everypony continued to ignore her. “C’MON GUYS! ANSWER ME!” Candy yelled. “LOOK AT ME! I’M CUTE TOO! I’M UNIQUE! Rose just looks like Blaze and Rainbow combined as a foal! DO ANY OF YOU LOOK LIKE ME?! LOOK AT ME!!!!!!” “I wonder where Engie is with that other foal monitor?” Crystal asked. “I don’t know, but I trust him.” Blaze said. “UUUGGGGHHH!” Candy groaned as she marched outside and slammed the door. “Hey, did any of you hear something?” I asked. “THAT’S IT! I NEED TO BRING THAT FOAL OUT OF MY LIFE! This is the last straw!” Candy yelled as she took the last straw out of her portable straw box, places it in her smoothie cup and starts drinking her smoothie. “Ok that’s another thing I need to add to my list. Before getting rid of Rose, I need to get a new box of bendy straws.” Later that night back at Rainbow Dash’s house (because it wouldn’t feel right calling it Blaze’s house) after Candy gets her bendy straws, Candy covered herself in black stealth outfit, and she snuck across the hall to check if Blaze and Rainbow were sleeping, and they were as Blaze held her tight. Candy kept going, until she tripped on Tank. “WHOA!” she yelled. She checks on Rainbow and Blaze, and luckily for her they’re still asleep. Candy then sneaks over to Rose’s bedroom. Blaze’s phoenix Apollo watches her as she enters Rose’s room, and he smirks smirks at her. Candy enters the room and takes a spray, and sprays the area, revealing pressure censors. She uses her mirror to reflect the censors away, so she can take Rose. Candy grabs Rose and takes her outside. It was thundering out there. Rose was still asleep. Candy takes Rose, and leans her against the edge of the cloud. “I’m sorry, Rose, but you’re ruining my life, and I can’t-“ just then, Candy accidently releases Rose and she starts freefalling from the sky. “Woops!” Candy flies down quickly and grabs Rose before she could hit the ground and then Candy flies back up onto the cloud with Rose on her grasp. “Nope, it’s too early for that. Let me finish my discussion.” Candy starts her discussion over. “Now then, Rose Goldheart, you are running my life and I can’t have you around anymore.” Rose yawns and wakes up and she smiles at Candy with puppy dog eyes. “Your puppy dog eyes won’t save you now!” Rose kept staring at Candy. “STOP THAT, ROSE! I WANT YOU OUT OF MY LIFE! WHY ARE YOU STEALING BLAZE AND RAINBOW FROM ME?!” Candy starts tearing up. “ANSWER ME!” Rose gives Candy a big hug and snuggles on her chest. Candy’s anger slowed down, and she felt she is making a big mistake. “What am I doing? This is my niece! I can’t get rid of you, no matter how much I try! I’m… I’m sorry, Rose. My jealously got the best of me, and…” Candy starts to weep as it begins to rain out. Rose then wipes Candy’s tears with her hoof, and then continues to smile at her. Candy then smiles back, and then they gave each other a big hug, but then as the feels began to slow down, Rainbow and Blaze run outside. “CANDY!!!!!” Rainbow yelled. Candy gets busted! “WHAT IN CELESTA’S NAME ARE YOU DOING?!” “I know, I was about to get rid of her.” Candy admitted. “But I finally realize….” “THAT YOU WERE ABOUT TO KILL OUR BABY!” Blaze yelled. “NO! NOT KILL!” Candy begged. “Just leave her somewhere until somepony picks her up and raises her! Hey, I’m doing you a favor! You looked miserable when you took care of her!” “SO?! WE DON’T CARE! ROSE IS OUR DAUGHTER, AND WE’D RISK ANYTHING FOR HER!” Blaze yelled. “B-but, I didn’t….” Candy stuttered. Rainbow grabs Rose away from Candy, and holds her tight. “You crossed the line, Candy Cotton!” Rainbow said angrily at her. “Your jealousy got the best of you, and we are truly upset!” “B-but….” Candy stuttered. “No buts!” Blaze said. Candy did her best not to laugh after he said that. “You’re not the sister I known and loved! Keep away from Rose!” Rainbow ordered her. “You are not allowed to see her anymore!” Blaze said. “But Blaze, listen!” Candy yelled. “No! This is the last straw!” Blaze said. “Do what’s right, Candy! Do something useful for once!” Rainbow said angrily as she walked inside along with Blaze and Rose on her shoulder. Yeah, I totally mean that Blaze was on her shoulder too. Sounded like I said that right? After Blaze and Rainbow walked inside the house, Candy just sits there on the cloud as it starts to rain even harder, and she starts crying again. After a few minutes of weeping, she yelled, “FINE! YOU WANT ME TO DO SOMETHING USEFUL?! I WILL!” So Candy went back inside and started packing her stuff, and wrote a note: ‘Dear, Blaze and Rainbow Dash; I am sorry I've been such a bad sister, and a terrible aunt. When the last minute came, I realized Rose was a treasure, and I wanted to stop. I become to fall in love with her.... not in that way. But you all been paying too much attention to her, and I feel you don't need me anymore. So I decided to pack-up, and move on. I'm gonna do something useful with my life, like you said Rainbow. I love you all, especially little Rosie. I won't bother her anymore. Love, Candy Cotton PS: I took your suitcase and umbrella, I hope you don’t mind.’ Candy then suddenly flies off the cloud in the rain and starts walking away crying. Is this it? Is Candy going to go away? Is this story going to be too much like Owl’s Well That Ends Well? Well… maybe, but it’s not over yet! Just then the mysterious pony from the hospital showed up and says to himself, “Woldheart, woo will be wine!” Candy Cotton turns around and sees the pony as the pony sneaks up on her. Candy suddenly screams as the pony snatches her, and he runs away. The scream was so loud that it woke me up because my trailer was right there. “Hey, Water?” I called out from her bedroom. “What is it, Flare?” Water asked. “You think I could grow a beard as nice as Santa’s?” I asked. “Maybe, if you’re willing to put the time.” Water said. “I’d definitely put in the time and I’d try REAL hard.” I said. “Hey if I grow a nice beard, you think they’d let me in the carnival?” “Nah, there’s nothing that special about a bearded stallion.” Water said. “Unless you lit it on fire or something, but then you’d have to wait until it grows back between shows so it probably wouldn’t pay too much. They’d probably give you free snow cones or unlimited ferris wheel rides.” “Just to light it on fire? Nah.” I said. “It’s probably for the best.” Water said. “Hey, Water?” I asked. “Yeah, Flare?” Water asked. “Why weren’t you at Rose’s party?” I asked. “I was there, but I just didn’t talk.” Water said. “Oh right, you were right next to Wind Racer.” I remembered. “She’s the one who made the Wonderbolt necklace, I saw her.” Water said. “Got it.” I said. The next morning came, it was bright and sunny, and I was flying over to my shop using a Ghost from Halo. I’m starting to get better with this transformation magic, but I still wasn’t able to get the cannons working. I was still blind as well. I was flying around recklessly until I crashed into Rainbow and Blaze’s bedroom, and I was hanging on their ceiling fan, spinning around. Blaze, and Rainbow wake up from the crash. “GAH! WHAT WAS THAT?!” Rainbow yelled. ”WHOA!” Blaze yelled. “I’m spinning, why am I spinning? Am I on a mary-go round?” I asked while hanging on the fan. “No, you’re on our fan.” Blaze corrected me. “Oh hey Blaze! Sorry to bother you, but I just wanted to ‘drop in’ for a bit! LAWL!” I teased. “Hey Blaze, I’m your biggest ‘fan’!” “Shut up.” Apollo complained. “Who’s up for breakfast?” Rainbow asked. “ME! I’m up for a second breakfast!” I said excitedly. “I am too!” Blaze said. “Oh really? What was your first breakfast, Blaze?” I asked. So Blaze went over to Rose’s room and picked her up. “And I get you’re up for breakfast?” he nuzzles her. We all walk over to the kitchen to get some breakfast. “Hey where’s my little friend? I got something for her.” I said. “She’s over here!” Blaze said, holding Rose. “Who is that Candy Cotton?” I asked. “No it’s Rose.” Blaze said. “Oh, I’m talking about Candy Cotton, where is she?” I asked. “Candy? You know what she tried to do right?” Candy asked. “What did she do?” I asked. “She tried to kill Rose.” Blaze said. “She what?! No way, that’s not like her!” I said. “Well not kill, just leave her to die.” Blaze said. “She jelly I guess?” I asked. “Her jealousy got the best of her.” Rainbow said, giving me an omelet. “This better be a cheese and shroom omelet!” I demanded. “Yeah it is, don’t worry.” Rainbow said. “You know, we haven’t been giving her enough attention. I think we should talk to her.” I suggested. “I don’t want her near Rose.” Blaze said, holding Rose tight. “Then don’t take her! Just talk to her, maybe we’ll come to an understanding, Blaze.” I said while looking at a coat rack. We can’t just leave her here, she’s just a baby… and I’m over here.” Blaze reminded me. “Oh, sorry, brah.” I said as I looked over at Rainbow Dash. “Oh there you are, Blaze! You look colorful. Am I high again?” “I’ll just talk to her.” Rainbow said. “Hey Blaze, you sound a lot like Rainbow!” I said. “That’s because you are talking to Rainbow.” Blaze said in an annoyed tone. I then looked over to the fridge. “Ok that’s totally you! But where’s your hair? I can only see the rhino.” Blaze takes my head and turns it towards him. “Oh hey Rose! When did you get a strong grip?” “It’s Blaze.” Blaze reminded me. “You renamed Rose to Blaze? Why?” I asked. “Blaze I looked in Candy’s room and she wasn’t there.” Rainbow said. “That was a delicious omelet, Rainbow!” I said as I wiped my face with the note Candy written. “Holy Wizard of Strength! You guys need to get softer napkins.” I then blew my nose on the note. “Hey, what is that?” Blaze asked. “A very rough napkin or tissue.” I said. Blaze takes it, and takes a look at it. “Wait, it’s a note!” Blaze said. “Can I read it?” I asked. “I can make it sound dramatic, or use a Scottish accent!” Blaze reads it, and gasps. “Oh no!” “Oh no indeed! You didn’t put cheese on this omelet like I told you, Dashie!” I complained. “I didn’t know you would realize.” Rainbow said as she chuckled. “I’m so bad!” “I maybe blind, but my taste buds still work!” I said. “What does the note say?” Rainbow asked. “Candy ran away!” Blaze said. “SHE WHAT?!” Rainbow yelled, dropping the dishes. “She ran away!” Blaze repeated. “I knew it! You were too harsh on her!” I said. “It wasn’t me!” Blaze said, looking at Rainbow. “Hey! I was just mad at her! She tried to abandon our foal!” Rainbow said. “Sounds more like you abandoned her, Dashie.” I said. Rose nods in agreement. “We have to find her!” Blaze yelled. “I agree! But where could she have gone?” Rainbow asked. “Now why would you two want to go look for her? After the way you talked to her, and after you SAID she tried to kill Rose, and you still want her back?” I asked. “And she’ll always be my little sis.” Rainbow said. “BOOM!” I yelled as I slammed my hoof on the table. “That’s what I like to hear! True love! Let’s go get her!” “Let’s go!” Blaze yelled. So four of us flew out of the house, but since I’m blind, I can’t see the fuel gauge on my Ghost, it was on E, and I started falling. My hovership just landed on the ground with a PHOMP! “Out of gas? I thought I just filled this thing?” I asked. There was a little business card next to me after I fell. Blaze takes the card and looks at it, wondering what it is. The card said: ‘Steelhoof Labs, 1223 Shield Ave. Canterlot. Home of the research of endangered creatures.’ “OH NO!” Blaze yelled. “What’s wrong?” Rainbow asked. “Not this freak!” Blaze yelled. “Who is that?” Rainbow asked. “This pony in INSANE!” Blaze said. “Professor Steelhoof, an insane scientist! He stalked me when I was a kid so he could dissect me and perform all sorts of experiments!” “Why though? What makes you so different?” I asked. “You’re half-dragon with phoenix powers, so what?” “EXACTLY!” Blaze said. “WAIT A MINUTE! CANDY!” Rainbow yelled. “What? What about her?” Blaze asked. “Isn’t it obvious?! Steelhoof foalnapped her when she was running away! He might be using her to get to you!” Rainbow explained. “This isn’t good! Rainbow, Flare, you stay here with Rose. I’m going alone!” Blaze said. “Nuh uh! I say Rainbow and I should go, and you should stay. I don’t think he’d want to make experiments on blurry colors and a blind good-looking stallion.” I said. “Hey, who you calling a stallion?” Rainbow asked as she gave me a weird look. “No way! Then he’ll use YOU to get to me! It’s ME he wants, it’s ME he’ll get!” Blaze said. “Brah, this might be a…. go ahead Admiral Ackbar.” I said. “ISSA TRAP!” Jar Jar Binks yelled. “Ackbar wasa not available.” “Exactly! You can’t go alone!” I advised him. “I KNOW it’s a trap!” Blaze said. “I agree with Flare on this one. Candy is my sister, and I need to rescue her too.” Rainbow said. “You’ll need the help of my magic, so I’ll go!” I said. “And mesa will come too.” Jar Jar Binks said. “Fine. Flare and I will go. Rainbow, you stay here with the baby.” Blaze said. “Fine.” Rainbow said with an attitude. “AWESOME! GIVE ME BRO-HOOF, BLAZE!” I yelled, hanging out my hoof for Blaze to bump,. “I’m over here.” Blaze reminded me as I was facing the wrong way. “Oh.” I said as I turned around. “GIVE ME BRO-HOOF, BLAZE!” I yelled, and he bumped my hoof. Rose starts mumbling and Blaze gasped. “Rainbow! Rose is trying to say something!” Blaze said. “OH MY GOSH, OH MY GOSH, OH MY GOSH!” Rainbow said in excitement. “D… D… DADDY!!!!” Rose said, holding her arms out. “HER FIRST WORD!!!!” Blaze said with tears in his eyes, and gave her a big hug. “C… C…. CANDY!!!” Rose said. “TWO WORDS! This is sooooo awesome!” Rainbow said in a high-pitched voice. “C’mon, Rose! Say mommy. Say mommy!” “B…. BIRD!” Rose said. “HA! Bird is the word!” I said. “I think that’s enough enough for now.” Blaze said. “C’mon! You two need to get home while Flare and I need to get going!” “Got it!” Rainbow said. “Right! One of those words Rose said was Candy! Rose wants Candy back!” I said to Blaze. “And if Rose wants Candy back, I think it’s about time you changed your mind about keeping them apart!” “I suppose so, if she learned her lesson.” Blaze said. “She ran away from home, of course she did.” I said. “Let’s go!” Blaze said as he flew off and I start walking in the opposite direction. Blaze sudenly turns around and picks me up, and takes me over to the labs. Over at Steelhoof Labs, Candy regains consciousness, and is hanging on some iron chains. “Ugh! Where am I?” Candy asked. “What’s going on?!” Candy started struggling on the chains. “Woo are in my waborotories!” a voice said. “Who are you?!” Candy asked. “I am Professor Weelhoof, and you, my adorable wittle fwiend, are my wargaining chip!” the pony with a lab coat said, staring at her with his cybernetic eye. This pony was green with a cybernetic eye on his left eye, and two mechanical hooves on his left side. In fact, his entire left side looked like it was on fire once, but his entire right side was just fine. This pony also had a remote control for a cutie mark and his labcoat was purple, instead of light blue like Swinebutt’s. Also, Steelhoof looked a lot like Joker from Batman, but without the make-up and more half-robot. “LET ME OUT OF HERE!” Candy demanded. “I’m afwaid escape is wot an option! You’ll wave to wait until your…. wiological warity of a bwother comes and attempts to wave woo.” Steelhoof said. “Who, Blaze? What do you want with him?” Candy asked. “And why are you speaking like that?” “It’s the way I talk, don’t worry about wit.” Steelhoof said. “Oh… so what do you want with Blaze?” Candy asked. “Who wouldn’t?! He’s a wagconian! Not just any wagconian! The first wagconian to we born in a wousand wears!” Steelhoof said. “This may be my only chance to study wim.” “BLAZE IS GONNA KICK YOUR FLANK ONCE HE FINDS OUT YOU…. No…. no, he’s not gonna come for me.” Candy said with tears in her eyes. “Oh? And why is that?” Steelhoof asked as he taps on his cybernetic hoof. “Because he thought I was gonna get rid of his new daughter. He doesn’t love me anymore; why would he want to rescue me?” Candy asked. “Ah yes, his waughter!” Steelhoof nodded. “His water?” Candy asked. “No his WAUGTER, you know, a willy?” Steelhoof asked. “With all those W’s, you make it sound so hard to understand you.” Candy said. “But yeah, his daughter is Rose Goldheart, and he’s the only filly he would ever want.” “Interesting.” Steelhoof said evilly. “Yeah, well good luck on whatever you’re planning on.” Candy said. “Steelhoof? There’s somepony here wanting to see you.” A female computer voice said. “Wait is your name Steelhoof or Weelhoof?” Candy asked. “WHO IS IT, CLARESE?! Can’t woo see wi’m monologuing?!” Steelhoof yelled. “It’s a unicorn by the name of Crimson Blast, and he’s here with a unique specimen.” Clarese said, showing Steelhoof me on the monitor in a disguise, carrying Blaze Goldheart, who is all tied up. Steelhoof gasped. “HE WAPTURED THE WESCIMEN!” “Yeah, yeah, I got your specimen, let me in!” I said in an Italian accent. “This wisn’t a wick is it?” Steelhoof asked. “Ey, ey, the only thing I want is my well-paid reward, buddy! This thing is very valuable!” I said. “Oh! Then wome in, wome in!” Steelhoof said pleasingly as he buzzed us inside, and the monitor shuts off. “Wooks wike your wuck has wun out!” he said to Candy. Candy had a very nervous look on her face. Back in the reception, Blaze whispers to me; “This is a HORRIBLE plan!” “Trust me, brah! I ain’t selling you out. Just guide me to the lab.” I whispered back. “I haven’t been here before. How would I know?” Blaze whispered. “Follow the signs or something! Just…. Where is the buzzed door?” I asked. “Please follow me.” A scientist mare said. ”Oh hubba bubba ding ding, what’s that sound of that thing?” I asked. “Sounds like a hot looking mare scientist, Blaze! Can you take a picture of her with my phone so I can see later?” So I followed the mare through the door and into the hallway, but I hit the side of the door. “Blaze, I need you to be my eyes.” “Ok.” Blaze said as he gave me directions to the lab. “Left…. Right…. Left again…. Right…. Straight…. Watch out for the trash bin. Alright we’re here.” “Wello, welcome to Wheelhoof Wabs!” Steelhoof said to me. “Wow, that accent.” I chuckled. “Hey, Steelhoof? Say,‘Shhh be very very quiet, I’m hunting wabbits!” “Stop teasing about my accent, and whoof over the the wecimen.” Steelhoof instructed me. “I have the feeling this dude lives alone.” Blaze said. “WONG! I wive here with my computer wife Clarese! Sway hi Clarese!” Steelhoof said. “Hi Clarese! How is it like to have a loser for a husband? LAWL!” I teased. “WOSER?! I am not a woser! I am a wenius!” Steelhoof yelled. “You certainly are wenius! LAWL!” I teased. “WUT UP!” Steelhoof yelled. “Oh not much, what’s up with you?” I asked. “RRRGGGHHH!” Steelhoof groaned. “Now cough up the money, and your specimen will be yours!” I demanded. “Fine. How much you want?” Steelhoof asked. “Half a million bits.” I said. “A WALF A WILLION?!” Steelhoof yelled. “How bad do you want this draconian?” I asked. “Grrr! Alwight fine!” Steelhoof said with an attitude, hooving me over a briefcase with a half-million bits. “Walf a willion wits.” “Thank you!” I said. “No, no wank woo!” Steelhoof said pleasingly. “You’re mine, Woldheart.” “Hey, Scooby Steelhoof Doo, guess what?” I asked. “What?” Steelhoof asked. “You know about the seaponies, they go SHOOP SHOOP DE DOOP?” I asked. “Not weally.” Steelhoof said. “Well I go SHOOP SHOOP DA WHOOP!” I said as I charged my laser using my SHOOP on Steelhoof, but with me being blind, I missed him completely, and I just fired it at the fire alarm, and the sprinklers on the ceiling started spraying, and the fire alarm went off. “Did I get him? Did I get him Blaze?” “YOU MISSED!” Blaze yelled as he smacked me in the back of the head. “OW!” I yelled. “What was your first clue?” “Intruder alert! Intruder alert!” Clarese alerted. “BLAZE! FLARE!” Candy yelled. “WHAT?! WOO TWO ARE WORKING TOGEWER?! CLARESE! WEAL THE WOORS! DO NOT LET THE WISONER WESCAPE!” Steelhoof yelled. So Clarese triggered the blast doors and sealed them off. I went over to Blaze and untied him using my hornsaber. “You handle Steelhoof, I’ll handle the computer.” “WHAT ABOUT ME?!” Candy yelled. “You can just ‘HANG’ there.” I teased. “Oh ha ha.” Candy said sarcastically. “I’ll get you in a second, Candy!” Blaze yelled, but before Blaze could do anything, he gets pinned down by Steelhoof as Steelhoof activates his buzz saw on his cybernetic hoof. “Wepare for your wexamination!” Steelhoof said mischievously at Blaze. “Not a chance, bucko!” Blaze said, punching out his cybernetic eye. “AGH! MY EYE!” Steelhoof yelled. I ran over to the computer, and start pushing random buttons on the keyboard. “What do you think you’re doing?” Clarese asked. “Pushing random buttons. I’m hoping one of them is security override.” I said. “Worse case scenario, I pick self-destruct.” Blaze and Steelhoof continue to fight eachother. Blaze suddenly pushes Steelhoof aside and runs over to where Candy is being held. I then pushed a random button and the lab turret guns activated. “Is that security override?” I asked. “That was activating the turret guns, dim wit!” Clarese said to me. “I’m not a dim-wit, I’m blind! If I can see, I’d know what I’m doing.” I said. The turret guns start firing berserk all over the lab, destroying everything. “WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! YOU ARE WESTROYING MY WEAUTIFUL WAB!” Steelhoof yelled. “Candy?! Candy are you here!?” Blaze yelled. “OVER HERE!” Candy yelled. Blaze runs over to her and cuts her chains. “Are you alright?” he asked her. “Why did you come back for me?” Candy asked with a frown. “I’m a terrible aunt.” “Because we couldn’t just leave you! You’re my sister-in-law.” Blaze said. “And Rose wanted you back. Your name was her second word!” “It was?” Candy asked. “No you’re just pushing me.” “Is this really the right time to be joking?” Blaze asked. “Good point.” Candy agreed as she gave Blaze a big hug. “I’m so sorry, Blaze! I shouldn’ve let my jealousy get the best of me! You just spend so much time with her that you never want to hang out with me.” ”It’s alright, Candy. We were just busy! It was only bad timing. We should’ve given you a little more attention.” Blaze said, smiling at her, and Candy smiled back. Yeah this is seemingly too much like Owl’s Well That Ends Well. Hey did you know that was also an episode name for a Winnie the Pooh episode? “Alright, you’re REALLY pushing my buttons now!” Clarase said to me as I kept pushing the buttons on her keyboard. “HEY! WEEP AWAY FWOM MY WIFE!” Steelhoof yelled, running towards me. “What? Who said that?” I asked as I turned around, moving my stick everywhere, and I accidentally shoved it in Steelhoof’s mouth. “Oh, sorry Blaze!” “I got Candy! Let’s go!” Blaze yelled with Candy on his back. “Alright! Which way is the exit? My clothes are all wet!” I complained. “This way! Hurry, before the door closes!” Blaze yelled, but we were too late. The door sealed shut, and the turret guns in the lab aimed right towards us. “Leaving so soon?” Steelhoof asked. “DARN IT!” Blaze yelled. “You thought you could wescape? You thought you had a tiny swiver of hope, but now you two will die!” Steelhoof said aiming a cyber eye at Candy and I. “And you will remain alive for my experiments!” He said, pointing at Blaze. “Why would you kill me? I’m a seller! I got me money, take him!” I said as I pushed Blaze over to Steelhoof. “Way to sell out your best friend, Flare.” Candy said sarcastically. “That money is fwake anyway.” Steelhoof said. “FOR WIZARD OF HOPE’S SAKE!” I yelled as I threw the briefcase with the fake money on the ground. “SEIZE THEM!” Steelhoof yelled. Just then, Blaze looked behind him and saw the bottom part of the sealed blast door starting to melt. The part of the door broke off, and ironically, but yet it was kind of expected, Rose started crawling through. “ROSE?!” Blaze and Candy gasped. Just then, Blaze’s phone started ringing; it was Rainbow Dash. “I’m busy!” he said. “WHERE’S ROSE?! I CAN’T FIND HER ANYWHERE!” Rainbow yelled from the phone. “She’s right here, Rainbow. I…. don’t know how though.” Blaze said confusingly. “Ah! Wanother wecimen for my wollection!” Steelhoof said mischievously. “Seize her too!” “IF YOU TOUCH MY LITTLE ROSIE, I’LL BREAK YOUR GOOD EYE!” Blaze threatened him. “The wyber eye is my good eye.” Steelhoof corrected him. “Blaze…. Look!” Candy got his attention as she pointing to Rose. Rose starts glowing and she starts floating. “No….. she can’t have…. My….” Blaze just stood there in shock. “Phoenix power activity detected.” Clarese said. “She does?!” Blaze gasped. Rose starts blazing in fury, and everything in the room started to malfunction, including Steelhoof’s cyber eye, arm, and leg. “PHOENIX POWERS?!” Steelhoof gasped. “AAAGH! CLARESE! SWEETIE, I NEED HELP!” “Malfunction! Malfunction! All systems shutting dooooooooown…..” Clarese said as she started to shut down. “CLARESE! MY LOVE!” Steelhoof cried. A giant shockwave spreads throughout the entire lab, causing a power failure, and Rose starts charging at Steelhoof. The physical impact was so strong that it pushes him across the lab and he passes out. Rose’s glow stops and she falls asleep in Blaze’s hooves. After this turn of events, I took off my sunglasses because my blindness went away. “Hey! I can see!” I said excitedly. “I can’t believe it….. she… has my powers.” Blaze said in shock. “Wait! What just happened? What did I miss? All I saw was a bright light, and then I got my sight back.” I said. “Rose… somehow has my phoenix powers.” Blaze said. “Amazing!” Candy said as she looked at Rose. “Well, Rose is a part of you, Blaze. Of course she has them!” Just then, Candy knew she was violating what Blaze said, and she stepped back. “Oh… sorry…” “Candy, you’re coming with us.” Blaze said to her. “No. I can’t go anywhere near Rose. So why live in the same roof as her?” Candy asked. “Candy, we understand how you felt. We were angry…. Rose…. Loves you. We’re sorry, Candy. You can go near Rose if you like, but please…. Come home.” Blaze begged. “Y-you mean it?” Candy asked. “CANDY!” Rose cried out, holding her hooves out for her. Candy starts tearing up and then she runs over to Rose, and gives her a big hug. “I love you, Rosie.” Candy said to her. “Is mesa late?” Jar Jar Binks asked. “VERY late, brah.” I said. “What are you doing here anyway?” “Mesa said I was coming.” Jar Jar said. “Yep, Jar Jar’s in my story now.” I complained. “As if my story wasn’t bad enough.” Back at Rainbow Dash’s house, everypony was having some lunch and Rainbow gives Candy a big hug. “It’s so good to have you back, Candy!” Rainbow said. “It’s really good to be back, sis, and with a new squirt to share the fun with!” Candy said as she places her arm around Rose. Blaze walks over between Candy and Rainbow and says, “I think I deserve a kiss for saving her?” “Blaze! You know I’m not much of a kisser!” Rainbow said and blushed. “C’mon, babe! If I’m gonna be the mister, you just have to be the kisser!” Blaze said. “No, Blaze!” Rainbow blushed as she pushed him away. “I don’t like kissing in front of ponies!” “Hey if I were still blind, I wouldn’t see a thing.” I said. “Please, Dashie?” Blaze begged. “Ugh! On the cheek.” Rainbow said. “Close enough for me.” Blaze said. Rainbow leans over and kisses Blaze on the cheek real fast. “Thank you for saving Candy.” Rainbow said. Blaze blushed. “No prob!” “OH! I almost forgot!” I leaned under the table and I brought out a present of some sort. “I never gave you my present yet from the foal sponge-bath!” “Oh that’s right! The present!” Rainbow just remembered. “Thanks, brah!” Blaze said as he opened it up, and then once he took a look at the present, he frowned. “It’s a foal monitor.” “It’s the OTHER foal monitor actually.” I said and chuckled. Engie then bursted inside the house with a jetpack and said, “So THAT’S where ah put it!” “This is awesome! Thanks, man!” Blaze said. “No problemo, brah!” I said. “Also a little something for both Rose and Candy!” I then gave both of them a signed photo of Spitfire. “A SIGNED AUTOGRAPH PHOTO FROM SPITFIRE?! THANKS, FLARE!” Candy said with glee. “B-but…. But.” Rainbow stuttered. “You jealous, sis?” Candy asked mischievously at her. Rainbow growled. “WHERE’S MY AUTOGRAPHED PICTURE?!” “Isn’t this awesome, Candy?” I asked. “It sure is!” Candy said. “You’re awesome, dude!” Blaze said. “Hello? Am I invisible? LOOK AT ME!” Rainbow cried.
