Living The Dream

Spark's lucky day

"That was awesome!" Spark yelled as we walked out of the stadium.

I couldn't help but chuckle at him, "It sure was. Who knew Spitfire could do all those moves?"

"Pfft, those were her amateur moves. She has way more awesome moves than those!" He yelled in excitement, still jumping around me.

"Oh, and how do you know so much about her?" I asked, stopping in my tracks, an idea forming in my mind.

Spark twisted around and smiled, "Where do you think?"

"Rainbow Dash?" I asked.

He nodded happily, "Yep! She's told me everything about the Wonderbolt's!" He then chuckled, "Mom also bought me a few books."

I smirked, "So tell me Spark, what would you do if you saw your idol?"

He cocked his head, "What's an idol?"

I snickered slightly, "I mean, what would you do if you saw Spitfire in person?"

He shrugged, "I don't know... why?"

I turned around and began to trot towards the stadium again, "Oh, no reason."

"Dad? Where are you going?" Spark asked as he ran after me.

I smiled down at him as I walked, "You'll see, buddy."

I walked into the stadium and turned onto a side hallway. I followed this till I came to a set of stairs with a sign saying, "Private". I moved the sign out of the way and began to trot up the stairs.

"Um, dad. I don't think we're allowed up here." Spark said as he looked around nervously.

I chuckled and rumbled up his mane, "Don't worry, you're going to love this."

After reaching the top, I looked down two different hallways. I looked down the left one and saw a few doors with names on them. That has to be it.

But, before I could turn, Spark pointed to a sign, "Why is that whore on that pole?"

I put my hoof over his eye and drug him down the hall, "First off, who told you what a whore was? Second, that was just a pony climbing a pole.... in a alluring way..."

Spark broke from my grasp and smiled, "Dorchester told me about them. He also told me about something called a condom... what's a condom?"

I facehoofed, hard, "I'm so going to kill that guy when I see him again!" I then looked at Spark, "I'll tell you when you're older."

"But I am older! It's been a few seconds, so I'm a few seconds older!" He huffed, but with a small grin.

"Smart ass.. I mean, smart mouth." I said, giving him a small glare.

"Hey! What are you two doing up here?!" A rough voice called as a security stallion ran towards us.

"I knew it." Spark muttered.

I smirked, "And this is where plan B kicks in."

"Plan B?" Spark asked.

I nodded and grabbed his hoof, "Plan B." I then tossed him onto my back and trotted forward.

"Yo, officer."

He came to stop in front of me and held out his hoof, "I.D.'s?"

I shrugged, "Left them in my other pants."

"You're not wearing pants." He deadpanned.

I waved a hoof, "Exactly."

He facehoofed and pointed to the stairs, "Just go back down."

"Sure thing officer." I said as I trotted past him and continued on my way.

"Hey! I said go down the stairs!" He yelled, grabbed me by the shoulder.

I smirked, "And I said, sure thing." I then twisted my shoulder and bolted off down the hall, Spark bouncing around on my back.

"Dad?!" He yelled.

I laughed, "Hang on Spark!"

I then shifted to the side and dove into an open door. Once inside, I ran over to the window and pushed it open.

By the time the security stallion ran in, I was already in another room.

I chuckled as Spark jumped off my back, "Good move dad."

I smiled and trotted to the door, "Thanks."

"So, what are we even doing?" He asked curiously.

"You'll see soon." I answered.

"Ugh!"

I laughed and continued to walk, reading the names off of the doors.

No... no... no... ah, no...

[See Dawn, I knew I could prove it.]
<Shut up, I just did my math wrong... So, where are we?>
{The stadium.}
<Ah, I see, carry on.>

I stopped at a door and smiled, "Here we go."

"We're here?" Spark asked.

I nodded and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" Came a female voice on the inside.

"I got your pizza?" I yelled, a large smile on my face.

"Pizza?" The voice said as the door opened slightly.

I gave a wave, "Hey."

The mare opened the door all the way and stepped into view, "Do I know you?"

I heard a small gasp behind me, but continued to smile, "No, you don't. Just asking for a request."

The mare eyed me, "Who are you? Name?"

Yay! Pose time!

I struck a small pose and grinned, "I'm Lance, Lance Greenfield."

"Lance... Greenfield?" She said slowly, deep in thought.

"Um yeah..."

She smiled, "Your one of the ponies who fought off those guys during the Nightmare Night Massacre. Right?"

I frowned, "Yeah, that's me."

She held out her hoof, "I would like to thank you. You saved a lot of ponies that night."

I slowly shook her hoof, painful memories boiling up in my mind.

"Spitfire!" Spark burst out before covering his mouth.

Spitfire looked past me and smiled at Spark, "And who's this?"

I smiled proudly and pulled Spark up to my side, "This here is Spark, my son."

Spitfire held out a hoof to him and smiled, "Hey Spark, how you doing?"

Spark shakily shook her hoof, and stammered, "I... You.... Where.... How... Good?"

Spitfire laughed heartily and rumbled up his mane and looked at me, "Nice kid."

I nodded with a smile, "He sure is, he's also a huge fan of yours."

"He is?" She said with a large smile.

Spark merely nodded in response.

Spitfire chuckled and walked back into her changing room. When she emerged, she held a pair of flight goggles.

She smiled and handed them to Spark, "Here you go, those are my favorite pair of flight goggles. I trust you'll take good care of them?"

Spark smiled from ear to ear as he held Spitfire's personal goggles, "YES! Thank you! I'll take great care of them!"

She giggled and nodded, "I know you will. You look like a trust worthy kid." She then looked at me, "You said something abut a request?"

I nodded again, "Yes, I want to ask you something."

She smiled, "Go ahead."

I smiled nervously, "Could you spend a day with Spark? I'll pay you if you want, but, it'll mean a lot to him."

*Thud*

[Father like son.]
<Aww, he passed out.>

I chuckled as Spark fell to the ground, unconscious. I guess hearing that was to much for the little guy.

"Hmmm," Spitfire tapped her chin and smiled, "Tell you what, I'll spend a day with Spark, IF, you show the Wonderbolt's your different forms. We've been talking about it for a while, and would love to actually see them."

I smiled sheepishly, "You do? If I do that, you'll spend a day with Spark?"

"Exactly." She said with a small grin.

I rubbed my chin and smiled back, "Okay, deal. Spend a day with Spark, then I'll show all of you my forms."

She clapped her hooves together happily, "Great! I can't wait to tell the others." She then composed herself and smiled, "How does tomorrow sound? For me to spend a day with Spark I mean."

I thought for a second, "Hmmmm, I'm not doing anything, and it's a weekend... Sure, I think Spark will enjoy it."

She looked at him and chuckled, "Don't worry, I'll make it an enjoyable day for him."

I lifted Spark up and laid him across my back.

Spitfire looked at my wings and cocked her head, "Are those wings... fake?"

I winced slightly, "Yes... I lost one in the fight, and the other because of a stupid stunt..."

She smiled weakly, "Well, keep your chin up. Life gets better."

I smiled a little and turned to walk away, "Yeah, I know..."
