//------------------------------// // Wings? // Story: Hard Court Press // by Hillbe //------------------------------// Wings Finally the time when foals reach that magic age where they ask all kinds of silly questions! Why do they ask the most impossible questions that Mom or Dad can't possibly answer in a thousand years? Because one it's into the areas that takes a princesses pay grade to answer or two for the shear enjoyment to see the embarrassment light up the cheeks of parents so modest to have foals in the first place. Or three being the number of curious little hybrids wanting to quench the thirst for knowledge and get a rise out of their parents. "Mom why did you marry Pops? Was it because Ponyville ran out of stallions?" "Mom do I have to eat this?" "Mom why don't other ponies breath fire?" "Mom? If twilight hatched Dad does that make her Grand Ma?" "If Unique is a dragon why does she have fuzzy scales?" "dess?" "Why is the sky blue?" "Do we have to go to school today?" "If Spike was hatched by Grand Ma Twilight and she has wings and Dads a dragon...?" "Mom if Dads a dragon why doesn't he have wings?" "Yeah, where's his wings?" "I want wings!" "If Red gets wings I want some too, I want wings too!" Rarity sat rewinding the mornings bombardment during breakfast, Spike left early to help Twilight with duties of the crown leaving his brilliant mare to answer to the foalish inquisition, nopony expects the foalish inquisition! She rolled her eyes and sadly shook her head at the bad pun. The morning was beautiful hours before lunch and minutes after a messy breakfast that had the dirty dishes piled high hiding in the sink along with a kitchen full of soiled furniture table chairs and cabinets, Another glorious happy meal fit to be tied to somepony else. Clean up? That's Spikes job. "Mom are we there yet?" "Not yet Ruby a little while longer". "Why does she get to ride on your back?" "Sapphires just a baby foal and you two are fine strong pongons my dears". "Stupid Pinkie she should of called us dragons. ROAR!!" "Yeah dragons!" Roa 'Hack cough cough' "DESS!" Rarity giggled at her fearsome little dragons their spines drooping at her display of fright, Fright? The little cuties couldn't even scare Fluttershy. Pride be damned they where the ferocious apex predators, kings of the bad lands the devourers of breakfast, pancakes and waffles Equestria over! Almost, just a little give them a little time. "Language Crimson". "But Mom she called us Pongons!" "Yes Crimson my dear you are part dragon and part unicorn". "Then she could of called us Unigons!" "Or Dragacorns!" "Unipegagons!" "Dragasus!" "Pegagons!" "Dragunigons!" "Are we there yet?" "Soon Crimson very soon my dear". "Mom why didn't you win your contest?" "Well life has its surprises and it's not all winning , But you'll never know if you don't try". "Are we famous Mom?" "I suppose we are, A Dragon hero and a ravishing mare of fashion with three beautiful foals". "Mom what's radish-ing?" "Radish-ing? Ruby that's ravishing meaning really beautiful dear". "Oh like fru fru pretty?" "Quite". "Are we there yet?" "Not yet dear". "dess". "Mom when is Unique going to say Daddy?" "When she's ready". "Are we there yet?" "Not quite". "Are we there yet". "Soon dear". "Are we there yet?" "No". "Are you sure?" "Yes". "Stop it! - Mom Reds touching me!" "No I'm not!" "yes you are". "No way". Oh yeah". "Boys!" "Are we there yet?" "Red!" "Are we there yet?" "Crimson no". "Are we close?" "Yes very" "Will Daddy ever get wings?" "Oh look, Crimson Ruby you can ask Miss Cherilee". "Miss Cherilee Miss Cherilee? Will my Daddy ever get wings? You'll know teachers know everything!" 'Thanks Rarity At least the Crusaders only tried to burn down the school house only that one time!' "Good morning Mrs. Thee Dragon". I'm getting too old for this stuff!' "How are you this lovely morning?" "Oh my Spikey Wikey's out today and I have so much to do! But I do have Unique Sapphire to help me along, say hello to Miss. Cherilee". "Dess!" 'Go ahead and rub it in why don't you', "Hello little Sapphire". Cherilee rang the bell for the first class 'Why Big Mac why ? curse you Flutterskank! curse you!' "Well I'll let you attend to your darling little charges Ta Ta Miss Cherilee I'll leave my family in your trusting care once more". 'Enough of the Misses already I'm younger then you!' "Miss Cherilee will my Daddy ever get his dragon wings?" 'OH Celestia Why me?' Happy hour's only eleven hours away Luna help me!'
