”WHAT?!” Dash and Spin yelled in surprise and rushed in to the living room. Derpy followed them shortly.
“Breaking news from Saddle Arabia. The Equestrian armed forces have captured Manephis which is the capital of Saddle Arabia. The Saddle Arabian military have surrendered and the war is officially over.” The news presenter told viewers as pictures and videos of equestrian soldiers were shown. “This picture was taken today at 9.00 am and it shows the 1st naval aviation squad and the Wonderbolt detachment raising the Equestrian flag over the Saddle Arabian parliament building.” The picture of Soarin and the rest of the members were shown. Dash and Spin just watched Soarin and the rest of the squad members had their masks on so no one could figure out who they were but Dash and Spin knew.
“It’s over…” Dash said.
“I can’t believe it… they surrendered.” Spin could remember the dirty bombs that the Saddle Arabians were building. But it seemed like they were all destroyed since they didn’t use them.
“So Soarin is coming home now?” Scootaloo asked.
“Yeah… for now at least… but I think will be deployed again. Saddle Arabian is destabilized and a perfect place for crime and terrorism to grow.” Spin told her.
“Do you think that Soarin will come home Dash?” Scootaloo asked her.
“I think he might come home for a moment… but not for long. Spin is right.” Dash answered to her.
“The remaining forces of Saddle Arabia have either surrendered or ran towards he eastern parts of the country. Some military experts say that we will be soon fighting another war in Saddle Arabia. Some say it will be a civil war. Some say it will be a guerrilla war against insurgents. Whatever the case will be the war in Saddle Arabia is not even close to over. And now we will continue our planned programming.” The presenter said and jet racing come on to the screen.
“I…. I don’t know what to say.” Dash was wordless.
“Well I will pull some strings so we could have Soarin here soon as possible.” Spin said and walked out of the room. leaving Dash and Derpy to just look at each other.
“Are you okay Dash?” Derpy asked.
“Yeah… just a bit shocked… I never thought that I would see Soarin in TV raising the Equestrian flag…” Dash said and tears of joy and sadness flowed down to her cheeks.
“I’m sure Spin will get him here.” Derpy said and hugged Dash.
“Yeah I know he will.” Dash said and stopped crying.
The next day dawned and Spin was up before sun rise. He checked that Dash was still asleep and then walked out of the front door and sat down on the lawn. He just sat there and looked at the sun that was slowly raising.
“Well you are up early.” He heard a familiar voice coming from behind him.
“Yeah… it’s a new sun rise and it brings a new kinda war with it.” Spin said in a serious tone and looked at the sun. “She’s sleeping in the master bedroom… if I were you I would go there before she wakes up.”
“Yeah… thanks.” The voice said and Spin heard his hoof steps slowly coming further away as he looked at the sun which was now above the horizon. “Maybe war does change and ponies don’t?” Spin said and wondered by himself.
Sun hit Dash’s face and she opened her eyes. She could feel someone’s warm body next to her back. She didn’t turn to face him and only said.
“Is this a dream?”
“No… or at least I hope this isn’t one of my dreams.” The pony said and brought his hoofs around her body and started to kiss her neck.
“Soarin… I have missed you so much.”
“I know Dashie… I love you.”
“I love you too.” Dash said and turned to see Soarin Face. It was just like she remembered it only with a couple of more scars than before. She kissed and looked at his emerald eyes.
“How long are you going to be here with me?” Dash asked him.
“I have to report to Spitfire in a week. but I’m not going to get deployed again.” Soarin said with happiness. “Spin pulled some strings for me and my squad… I’m gonna go back to flying as a Wonderbolt.”
“That’s great.” Dash said and hugged him and snuggled against his chest.
The stayed like that for a while until Soarin saw that the door had been opened. He didn’t see anyone in the room so he turned to look out of the window and saw Scootaloo next to him.
“Hi!” She said cheerfully which made Soarin jump up in surprise.
“Never do that again Scoots.” Soarin said to her.
“Sorry. Spin told me to tell you to come down stairs for some breakfast.” Scootaloo said and buzzed off. Soarin didn’t notice her cutie mark and Dash didn’t bring it up.
“Well come on let’s go.” Dash said and walked out.
“Spin!” Scootaloo yelled and looked at him.
“What’s up Scoots.” Spin said and looked at her while eating oatmeal.
“Did you know that Soarin is back. He was sleeping with Dash.” Scootaloo said with a happy tone.
“Yeah… I know.” Spin said and walked up to Scootaloo and ruffled her mane.
“Hey!” Scootaloo said which made Spin chuckle.
“I see two of you are having fun.” Dash said as she walked in with Soarin.
Dash and Soarin both took some oatmeal they started to eat.
“So Scoots I heard something happened to you?” Soarin said and raised an eyebrow.
“Yeah! Look.” Scootaloo said cheerfully and showed her cutie mark. “It’s just like Spin’s or yours but the lighting is flanked by rainbow wings instead of regular wings or swords.”
“That’s great Scoots.” Soarin said and gave the filly a hug. Dash only could watch as she was the happy expression on Scootaloo’s face.
“So I decided that since we are all here we should go and do something as a family…” Spin said but he was cut off by loud knocks coming from the front door.
“I got it!” Scootaloo yelled in excitement and buzzed towards the door which made all three of the grownups chuckle.
“She such a sweet kid.” Soarin said and looked at Dash.
“Yeah and once this thing comes out we are gonna have two sweet kids.” Dash said and rubbed her slightly bigger belly. “Six-ish months and the day hits.” She said and kissed Soarin.
“Spin!” Scootaloo yelled and Buzzed back in to the dinner room.
“What?” Spin asked and watched as the filly landed in front of him.
“Derpy came here.” She said and pointed at Derpy who was walking towards him. He could see the smile on her face and her lovely eyes…
Soarin saw how Spin was looking at Derpy and could only smile.
“Hi!” Derpy said and hugged Spin.
“Hi!” Spin just said back and smiled widely as they were looking each other in the eyes.
“You were saying something about us doing something?” Dash said and two of them broke their eye contact.
“Yeah… I got all of us tickets for the Canterlot 500.” Spin said and looked at Scootaloo who had a huge smile on.
“Really? I can’t wait.” Scootaloo said and jumped up and down.
“We’ll be going tomorrow to Canterlot.” Spin said to them.
