Meanwhile, in the middle of a field on the outskirts of Ponyville, a purple coated alicorn named Twilight Sparkle was waiting on a hill with a tree. As she looked into the majestic sky above, she said, "That's weird, Rainbow Dash hasn't shown up for my Advanced Flying Course yet."
Twilight then flew up to the sky, to see if Rainbow Dash was going to arrive behind her, or taking another diiferent route than she had anticipated. After looking for 10 minutes, she eventually came to the conclusion that she wasn't going to arrive, which was weird since Rainbow Dash is the most loyal pony she knew.
"Maybe she got sick at the last minute or something." Twilight said as she was flying towards Rainbow's cloud house, in a very weird manner i might add, "But if Rainbow is sick, she could just take some of the pills and medicines i gave her. So if she did indeed got sick and took pills, why isn't she tutoring me in flying?"
She pondered this for a while during her flight, but she eventually she came to the conclusion that Rainbow Dash had a sickness that couldn't be cured by any medicines or pills. She initially thought it was another Poison Joke mishap and that Rainbow needed to be taken to Zecora again, but she would find out in due time.
___________________________________
As Spitfire, Soarin and Fleetfoot were getting lost in their playtimes, their foal minds were starting to develop more, causing a drastic collapse in their mental vocabularies. But what was weird, was that their still intact adult minds didn't mind this in the slightest.
"Howd on, yoo two. Who awe we?" Spitfire asked as she stopped in the middle of a tube.
"I not know, we wewe onwy bown yestewday." Fleetfoot answered her question with a puzzled expression.
"Awww, you're all so cute when you talk to each other." Rainbow Dash said, picking up on the conversation going on between the two foals.
"Tanks, Mama."
Suddenly, Rainbow Dash heard a knocking on her door, "Mom's gotta answer the door, kids. I'll be right back."
And with that, she closed the foal gate behind her door and flew downstairs to get the front door. She wasn't expecting visitors for weeks, so it was kind of weird that someone would come early or unexpected. Once she unlocked the door, she saw Twilight on the doorstep, "Oh, hey Twi."
"Rainbow Dash, is there something you're not telling me?" She inquired once she took a seat on the cloud couch in front of her.
"No, nothing to hide here. Everything's fine, in fact, things are a lot better." She said, trying to calm her down.
"Is there another reason why you've ducked out of teaching me how to fly then? Nothing's broken or out of place?"
Knowing that she couldn't avoid the question at all, Rainbow Dash let out a defeated sigh and said, "Twilight. There's something i've got to show you." And with that, she took Twilight up to the nursery.
"I don't get it, Rainbow Dash. Isn't this your room?" She pondered upon reaching the door.
"It's not the room that's the surprise, it's what's inside that's gonna surprise you." She said as she put her hoof on the handle, "I guarantee you this will surprise and or shock you."
"Don't worry, Rainbow Dash, i can handle any sur- whaaaaaaaaa?" She was caught off guard when she noticed the foal versions of Spitfire, Soarin and Fleetfoot inside Rainbow Dash's room.
"Surprise!" Rainbow Dash said as she entered the room, "Hey, kids, look who's here. It's your Auntie Twilight. Everybody say hi."
The three foals did as Rainbow said and waved to Twilight, they tried to say hi to her, but to Twilight and Rainbow's hearing and points of view, it came out as nothing more than foal gibberish.
Twilight on the other hand was flabbergasted, seeing Rainbow Dash actually taking care of foals for the first time in her life, "Rainbow Dash, I never thought i'd see the day."
"I know right?"
"But if you've got foals, does that mean you have a husband as well?"
"Unfortunately, no." Rainbow Dash said with a hint of nobility.
"So you adopted them from an orphanage?"
"Still no."
"But how did you manage to wind up with three pegasi foals without a father or adoption certificate?"
As Twilight popped the question, Spitfire, Soarin and Fleetfoot started to cry again. Rainbow quickly took notice of this and wrapped them up in her wings, "Twilight! How rude of you to question how i got these kids! Now you've made them upset."
"But i had to ask, didn't I?" She said, showing a bit of remorse and blushing for her actions.
"If you must know, I found these three abandoned in the middle of a field. There wasn't a mare or stallion for miles around when i found them. And you know how i feel around abandoned kids, don't you?" Rainbow Dash said as she was cooing something to her kids
Upon hearing this, Twilight started to show some serious signs of sympathy for the foals. She was completely unaware that they had no parents whatsoever.
"Look, Twi. The reason i duck out of foalsitting all the time, is that i know that the foals they ask me to look after have actual mommies and daddies. But the three foals i have here, have no parents whatsoever. They were left to fend for themselves, out in the cold, unforgiving air. I couldn't allow foals as cute as these to die alone with no-one to love them. So i decided to take them home with me and love them with all my heart."
"Wow, Rainbow. I never thought about it like that. I never knew you were unsure whether or not you would be better or worse than a foal's actual parents." Twilight said now with some accomplishment as the foals stopped crying, "And might i add they are just the most cutest pegasi i've ever laid my eyes on."
"Thanks, Twi, good to know you like my decisions."
"I just have one question on my mind, and i promise that it won't offend them this time." Twilight stated
"Alright then, ask away."
"Have they got any names?"
At this time, Rainbow Dash was surprised. She had only spend the afternoon with her new foals, and she didn't even know their names. And she couldn't just name them herself. She didn't even know where to begin with names, and she was starting to worry whether or not they would like the names that she chose. So she decided to face the music and say, "I don't know."
"Oh, then have you thought about naming them?"
"Nah. Besides, they may or may not like the names i choose for them."
"Then would it be alright if i just take some DNA samples back to the lab?" She asked as she walked into the nursery.
"Promise you won't hurt them and the answer's yes." Rainbow Dash said.
"Cross my heart and hope to fly. Stick a cupcake in my eye." Twilight said as she recited the age-old Pinkie Promise.
"Alright then, whaddya need?"
"Just one wing feather from each foal will do nicely." She said as she walked up to Rainbow Dash and conjured up a horn aura.
"Don't worry, Mama's gonna keep you all safe." Rainbow said as she kneeled down to face the foals and give them a sense of comfort. As they looked and nuzzled Rainbow's neck, Twilight managed to painlessly pluck one feather from each of them. Magic, truly makes everything better and easier.
"OK, Rainbow, the analysis should take 3 to 5 days tops, provided i don't get sidetracked by royal duties. Once the results come back, i'll let you know who these foals are." Twilight said as she placed the feathers in a saddlebag on her side before heading downstairs.
"Alright then, i'll see you later Twilight. Tell the girls i said hi, kay?" She said as Twilight took off back to Ponyville.
"So if Twiwight is our Auntie, does dat mean de othew giwls are aunties too?" Soarin asked as Rainbow Dash came back into the room.
"I not know, but someday, Mama wiww take us to meet dem in ponyviwwe." Spitfire said once Rainbow closed the door.
"So, where wewe we?" Fleetfoot asked them with a smile growing on her foalhood face.
Rainbow Dash lifted them up onto the bed and soon clambered on afterwards, revealing her teats to them once more.
"Dat's wight, dinnewtime." Soarin said as they began to nurse once more. Just like before, they were all wrapped in Rainbow's wings as they fed, with Spitfire now with Fleetfoot, and Soarin on his own this time. Once they stopped feeding, Rainbow burped each of them with her hooves before setting them down on the floor once more.
"Oh my sweet little foals of the sky, if only you could be like this forever. it would be so much fun right?" Rainbow said to them all.
As before, the three foals agreed with her, and started giggling happily as their foal minds completely consumed their adult minds now.
"Who's the sweetest wittle foal i've got?" She said as she picked them all up and started to blow raspberries into their stomachs, "You are, yes you are."
The foals could not stop laughing in amusement as Rainbow blew the raspberries accordingly and orderly. after she stopped, Spitfire, Soarin and Fleetfoot were unaware that they had wet themselves again, until they sat down on the floor again and could feel the wetness on their flanks once more.
"I smell stinkies." Rainbow said in a cuter tone than usual as she looked down on the three foals, "Does somepony want a changing?"
And with that, she quickly took off Spitfire's sheep outfit, Soarin's bear costume and Fleetfoot's spacepony costume and carried them over to the changing table once more. And just like before she hurled the soiled diapers at the trash can, once again with perfect aim. After which she changed all three of them at once, making sure to add the foal powder, to pull the tails through the holes at the back, and to tie the tapes up snug and tight.
After Rainbow Dash had changed them, she noticed the time, it was 7:30 PM. Outside, she had just seen the moon rise and thought that it was a good time to put her new foals to bed. She carried them towards the crib and set them down nice and snug on the snug duvet, after which, she pulled the pink blanket over all of their tummies and leaned down towards them with a smile on her face.
"Well kids, it's time for bed now, you've had quite a rough morning, and you'll probably want to sleep it off. But don't worry about that. Your new Mama is gonna take care of you properly from now on." She said as she leaned in and kissed each of their foreheads sweetly and quickly.
"Night Night, everypony." She said as she turned out the lights.
"Before she could even head downstairs for a little R&R, the foals said, in perfect unison, "Night Night, Mama." before dozing off into dreamland.
Rainbow Dash quietly closed the door and tiptoed downstairs, "They are so cute, just wait till the girls hear about this." She said as she picked up a new Daring Do book and was quickly lost in her own interpretation of the book's story.
