EXCLUSIVE: Wonderbolt Father to Spectral Speedster's Child?
By Gabby Gums









Ever since the shocking pregnancy revelation of Ponyville's most famous weather patrol worker, there have been many theories and rumours as to who the father could possibly be.

But recent photographs may indicate that the father may be none other than the Wonderbolt's most infamous member.

"Rainbow Dash is so totally in love with Soarin'," says an anonymous source close to the pegasus pair.

"I think they make a cute couple, and they definitely both deserve happiness."

The entirety of the town of Ponyville was rocked several months ago when Rainbow Dash publicly announced that she was with foal, but refused to reveal the identity of the baby's father. However, new images such as the one printed in this article show that the father of the unborn child may in fact be none other than Soarin', famed co-captain of the Wonderbolts.

Following unconfirmed rumours of alcoholism and salt addiction the previous year, Soarin' has been noticeably absent from the tabloids, and word on the Cloudsdale grapevine was that this absence was due to the young stallion entering rehab and getting much-needed treatment for his drug and alcohol abuse.

But now it would appear that the youngest stallion ever to be accepted into the Wonderbolts is not only the spouse of Rainbow Dash, but also the father of her foal.

"I don't really want to cause any trouble," says a close friend of the rainbow-haired stunt pony, who requested that her identity remain unrevealed "but, um, Rainbow Dash says Soarin' is the baby's father, and she's been my friend for years - since we were fillies at flight camp, actually - so I believe her and, er, the rest of our friends do as well."

It is unknown at this stage if the relationship will develop further, and any rumours of wedding bells on the horizon have yet to be verified.









Author's Note: This isn't technically a part of the story, but it seemed kinda relevant and I got the inspiration from when I watched Ponyville Confidential for the umpteenth time. And I know Dashie doesn't look pregnant in the picture, but it's the best one I could find and it's still pretty cute.

And anyway, what if it was shopped and the image was actually fake? Like, with that picture of Princess Celestia gorging on cake, did Featherweight really fly all the way to Canterlot for that snap? This calls for a discussion... which can take place in the comments, if you're interested.
