First held the baby calf in his arms, nurturing it with a bottle of milk.
Fluttershy smiled warmly at the image of First getting along with the animal so well, while pinkie silently beamed at her son.
“So? how old is it?” First asked.
“Oh, Only a few days,” Flutters answered.
“Hmmm, how old will it be when we eat it?”
“W-w-w-what?” Fluttershy stammered, Shocked.
“Ya know, knock it over the head with a club, or snap its neck then bucher it.”
“W-w-w-why in equestria would we d-d-do that?”
“What? Ever had steak? Saxton says “Its the most important meal of the day.”
“Which meal?” Pinkie asked.
“All of them,” First answered.
All the color drained from Fluttershys face, “H-h-how could you eat meat? your a equine like use you couldn’t digest it.”
“Sally i've been digestion it for 12 years, are you saying you don’t like a nice steak? Pull it out of the freezer all red and bloody, then,...”
First stopped himself when Fluttershy fainted dead away.
“Hpth, doesn't like steak, I need to tell the ponies of this world the importance of steak eating, Flutters here will probably want to do something stupid when she wakes up like protest guns or chain herself to a tree.”
“Whats a gun?” Pinkie asked.
First face palmed, then decided to drop the matter that if they didn't know what it was then they couldn't protest it.
“c’mon, lets get her into the couch,” First said, lifting the baby calf from his lap.
First sat next to his mother in the grass watching a cyan blur streak across the sky, dodging between a set course, eventually she skidded to a halt.
“There,.*Gasp,. Ten seconds flat,” Rainbow panted.
“WoowzI Woow! Rainbow it was even better the 6th time i watched it,” Pinkie Proclaimed.
“Eh” First-class said, waving a hand.
Rainbow widened her eyes, then narrowed them, “excuse me? Eh?”
“Eh” First re illustrated.
Rainbow swooped eye to eye with First.
“What you think you can do better?” Rainbow growled.
“As a graduate of jump academy at age 10, I’ve seen better.”
“But can you do better?” Rainbow rumbled.
First shrugged.
Rainbow sneered, she searched the ground, she found a single daisy. She snatched it up and rocketed into the sky, a few hundred feet into the sky she dropped it onto a small puff of cloud and then flew back down to Equestria.
“First one wo the flower wins,” Rainbow stated, smiling at the prospect of a challenge.
“Nah” First said, getting up the leave.
“What?”
“I’m tired, it was nice meeting you and we still have a party to throw, can’t wait to see you there.” First said, motioning for his mother to follow.
“NOO! you can’t, I just called you out,”
“Where you really gonna race Dashie?” Pinkie asked.
“Are you kidding? You saw how fast she was she’d eat me alive, I’ve learned to deal with competitive people this will drive her nuts, think of it as a prank.”
Pinkie bit her lower lip in jest “Oh i see, Thats a good one.”
Meanwhile Rainbow fell to her knees and screamed at the sky “SOMETHING RACE MEEE!!!”
“Ok, *sigh, i'm going to go over it one more time,” Twilight exasperated to First and Pinkie who were both sitting on a plush blue couch in the Ponyville Library.
Pinkie and First both nodded, eager with what Twilight had to say.
“Every living thing live off an electromagnetic pulse, these pulses are unique to the universe you were born in.”
Pinkie and First nodded again.
“And when First was born, our universe and his father’s flowed together normally.”
More nods
“He was born here, and when we sent him to his father. First’s Electromagnetic pulses disrupted how are universis flow together, temporary causing the time flux, thus explaining why he is 12 already, and now that he is home, time flow between our universes the same Got it?”
Pinkie and First shared confused looks.
“OH COME ON! WHERE Am I LOSING YOU!!” Twilight shouted, facepalming her face raw.
“Oh stop stressing it Twily, we got it, We better go, we got a party to plan,” Pinkie said through a fake smile, a little frightened at her friend's surprise rage.
Pinkie power walked out the door with her son in tow as Twilight plopped into and arm chair, exhausted.
As soon as they got home Pinkie began preparations to First party, it was proclaimed to be a mix of his coming to ponyville and the 12 birthdays she had missed.
Pinkie hummed tunes as she danced around sugar cube corner, spraying glitter, hanging streamers and muttering under her breath about something called a “Party cannon” being “In the shop.”
Before First knew it, a party had grown around him and the Guests had began to arrive, The first being Pinkie 5 friends.
Being socially shunned and confined to the deserts of new mexico First was not a very social stallion, as the guests grew, First found himself more and more naturally confined to one corner of the room.
Eventually, he was sitting on a chair at a corner table, two empty cupcake papers littering the tabletop.
First’s mother noticed this, and decided that it wasn't right, she sifted through the dancing ponies and climbed to the Dj booth, stopping the music and grabbing a microphone.
“Hey!” Pinkie said, giving the microphone time to adjust to the feedback,” I Just wanted to make sure we all knew what we were here for, and that is to welcome my son to Ponyville, and to the pie family,”
A Million eyes turned to First, causing him to shrink a bit in his seat.
“Wasn't he supposed to be a baby?” Somepony in the crowd asked.
“A bit of a hiccup to that effect but regardless, he is my son and I love him, a toast! to him! and to not just my family back home, but the family i got right here getting a little bigger.”
“Hear hear,” Said several in the crowd before they all collectively knocked back their drinks.
“Alright First, this is your party and all I’ve seen you do is mope in that corner, c’mon over here and show us how they break loose in your world.”
First arose from his chair and marched out to the center of the party, she bent his knees, put his hands together, cupped them and held them out in front of him.
“Who wants to flip?” First asked the crowd.
“AWWWW YEAH!” Rainbow fluttered out of the crown and landed in front of First, she put her foot in First’s hand’s who lifted it giving Rainbow enough momentum to do a perfect back flip.
The crowd cheered and the exhibition, wanting to keep interest alive he turned to AJ, he held out a fist over a flat palm.
“Wanna throw?” First asked.
AJ got the message and matched his gesture.
“Rock, paper, scissors!” Both competitors shouted.
“Did I win?” First asked, he spied that AJ threw a paper, he looked down at his rock.
“Wait? Something beats rock?” First asked.
The crowd laughed, First decided to break out the big guns, he began walking around the room, in a erratic dance- like pattern.
The crowd was stood silent and bewildered.
“Conga you fools!” First ordered.
Many ponies shrugged at this strange new dance.
“Follow me and do as I do!” First instructed.
The ponies attending the party one by one began dancing behind First as he led the conga line around the room.
First felt all of his nervousness melt away as the feeling of immense up flooded his body, he felt in swirl warmly inside him, then all drip into his feet, then finally shoot up to the top of his head.
First felt his helmet shift and a patch of brown invade his eyesight.
First abruptly stopped the conga line, everypony bumped into him as he desperately pushed his helmet onto his scalp.
He turned to the crowd with a very serious look,”I would like to thank you all for coming but I’m very tired and I Am going to bed.”
And with that, First walked calmly from the conga line and up the stairs, hands fully planted to his headgear.
Everypony turned and stared at pinkie, who just shrugged “He was probably pretty tired, and it is getting late, better move along everypony and Thanks for Coming!”
Pinkie waved as the guests all shuffled through the front door, shooting remarks on how amazing he party was, But Pinkie was tuning them out, she looked at the top of the stars longingly as a heavy weight of uncertainty overcame her, the same one she felt as she did when she first held that baby colt in her arms.
