Do you have any idea what Dash had been though with colts like you.” Blaze said and was ready to strike Soarin with his fist. “I know what she has been though… but I don’t think you know what I’ve been through for her.” Soarin said angrily and didn’t even try to block the strike and just closed his eyes and waited… but he didn’t hit him. “What have you ever done to her other than gotten her pregnant?” Blaze asked Soarin. Dash knew this was it… Soarin had to tell her father the truth. “Well firstly I let her almost kill me for her little sister and I tried to fight Thundrlane off and also I have bought us our dream house where we will raise our foals.” Soarin said confidently and put his arm over Dash’s shoulders. “What do you mean fought off Thunderlane and let her stab you?” Blaze asked him and Soarin explained all that happened before with Thunderlane. “Is this true Dash… you actually killed him…” Her father asked in disbelief. “Yes… I’m sorry.” Dash replied and started crying against Soarin’s chest. “Don’t be that bastard had it coming.” Dash’s dad said to her and turned to Soarin. “I guess after all of that you really aren’t that bad… So Soarin what do you do as a job?” Blaze asked now with a more relaxed tone. “I fly for the 1st areal demonstration team in the air force.” Soarin said to him. “You mean the wonderbolts?” Firefly asked. “Yeah… or at least I did. the wonderbolts are getting deployed to the carrier EQS Skywalker and we are going to be fighting in Saddle arabia soon.” Soarin said and looked at Dash. “You do realise that this war is gonna be a horrible one… twenty thousand stallions slaughter to the beaches of Saddle arabia… we aren’t gonna win this war easily.” Blaze said and shook his head. “Yeah… but I have to I would never leave the wonderbolt and my brother is too going to fight. he is geting deployed today to the carrier EQS Dawnbreaker.” Soarin said and looked at Blaze “What squad does he fly in?” Blaze asked he all the sudden was very interested about everything. “1st naval aviation squad. his name is Flat spin hi is the captain of the squad.” Soarin told him “Ha the kid went far… I always knew he had it in him but still to be the captain of the legendary wardog squad… that’s great.” Blaze said and smiled. “You know my brother?” Soarin asked him “Hell yes he was the best flyer I have ever trained.” Blaze said with proudness flowing through him. “but less about him and more about the foal… colt or a filly?” Blaze asked. “We don’t know yet.” Dash answered. “Names?” Firefly asked. “I was thinking that if it’s a filly she would be called Horizon Dash after the place Soarin proposed me.” Dash said and looked at Soarin with a huge smile and he gave one back. “But if it’s a colt the he will be named Rainbow Spectrum.” “Well you sure have thought about name even thou you have a lot of time before he or she is ready to pop out… talking about time.” Firefly said and looked at the clock. “Oh my Soarin we need to get going. we have to meet with you brother before he leave for the carrier.” Dash said and stood up. “Right. follow me.” Soarin said. they said their good byes to Dash’s parents and took off flying. They landed to the docks and stated walking toward a huge Carrier that had the name “EQS Dawnbreaker” on its side. “Woah… this thing is huge.” Dash said as she watched as ponies were saying good byes to their oved ones. “Let’s hope he didn’t go inside yet.” Soarin said and they walked through the docks. “There he is.” Dash said and pointed at the white pony with neon blue mane in full officer uniform standing at the edge of the dock and looking out to the sea. “Spin!” Soarin yelled and ran up to him and hugged him. “I’m glad to see that you came to say good byes to me.” Spin said and smiled. “Yeah actually we also have some news to you.” Dash said and walked up to Spin and gave him a hug too. “Actually I do too… Soarin have you told her about the company?” Spin said and turned to face Soarin. “No.” Soarin said and turned to Dash. “Well this is a good time to tell… me and Soarin have a small investment company. The idea behind it was that if ever something would happen and we could not fly and do our jobs we still would have a way of making bits. It doesn’t make huge amounts of money but it’s enough to support us if something happened.” Spin told Dash. “ok… why are you telling me this.” Dash asked. “I invested all of the company’s reserves to Equestrian Arms and ammo Inc.” Spin said and turned to Soarin. “You did what?” Soarin asked him in disbelief. “You spent all of the bits on EAA stocks?” “Yes…the Skies Brothers investments now own 55% of the EAA stocks.” Spin said proudly. “You spent all of the company assets to buy a weapons company?” Soarin asked him. “Yes the stocks were cheap and we both know that this war isn’t gonna be over in a week. The Equestrian armed forces will need ammo, guns, rockets, tanks, ships and everything that the EAA manufactures. The EAA profits will go through the roof in a couple of weeks. when the high command realises what kinda war we are fighting… and of course we are invading a country that is very unstable… when we can actually have soldier on the ground fighting and conquering land they have to garrison it because the Saddle Arabian will fight a guerrilla war against us… if there won’t be a huge civil war before that. Whatever happens we will be making millions and even more if this war last longer than a couple of months.” Spin said to Soarin. “We could both set up our future families for life with that kinda money…” Soarin pondered. “But will be fighting too. So will be hoping that the war last long enough that we can make some bits but not too long?” “The best case scenario is that the royal army doesn’t try invading again and this conflict turns in to an arms race… then no one has to die and we’ll be making money like it would be dirt.” Spin said confidently. “Anyway what was your news to me?” Spin quickly asked Dash. “Well… in ten months you will be an uncle.” Dash said cheerfully and Spin hugged her. “Oh god in so proud of you two.” He said and whipped off tears of joy. “Just please make sure you and Soarin came back safe.” Dash said and let go of Spin. “I promise to look after him… Soarin I’m really proud to see that you will be a dad soon.” Spin said and hugged his brother. “Thanks.” Soarin replied. “By the way… I overheard some things that the wonderbolts might be split in two. one group will go to the EQS Skywalker and the other will join me and my guys on the EQS Dawnbreaker. make sure that you get assigned to the right group.” Spin said and walked towards the carrier’s entrance way and waved at Soarin and Dash. “See you Dash in a couple of months and Soarin I expect to see you in a couple of days.” He yelled at them and waved. “Yeah be safe.” Two of the yelled back and saw him walk inside the ship.
