Rainbow Dash was surprised by a sudden question such as that one. She suddenly had a sparkling opportunity to bond with the stallion she loved. The only stallion she loved, in fact.
But such an event would ruin her reputation as an athletic tomcolt. But wait…what does that even matter? Maybe it’s about time she had a change of heart. She had already lost such a reputation, because of having foals. Her decision was final.
Rainbow walked forward and embraced Flash, not intending on letting him go.
“Oh Flash…of course I will.” She whispered.
Flash hugged her back, and they all shared a very beautiful moment together…as a family.
……………………………
Twilight was just preparing to go to bed, with the door locked and the curtains closed, shielding them from any means of the blizzard outside.
She was tiptoeing up the stairs, careful not to wake up Spike or Fluttershy. Suddenly, her phone rang, receiving a text.
“Aw, shoot!” She whispered angrily.
The noise woke up both of them, and they sat up, confused.
“Twilight? What’s going on?” Spike asked.
“Nothing, Spike. Just go back to bed.” Twilight responded.
Twilight walked up to her night stand to check the message. It was from Rainbow Dash. She flipped it open and read the very short text.
“Guess what, I’m getting married! -RD” The text read.
Twilight chuckled. “Congratulations, Rainbow Dash.” She whispered.
…………………………………
Everything went as usual the next morning. Breakfast, feeding the foals, shower, and then sit and debate what to do next.
“We could visit the pool up on the sun deck. I brought some sunscreen, and it’s 120 spf!” Rainbow suggested.
“I think the foals are too young to be anywhere near water.” Flash objected.
“I was just planning on sunbathing. I’m not really a fan of water much, either.” Rainbow replied.
“But what would the foals do then?” Flash asked.
Rainbow Dash thought for a moment. “I don’t know. It’s not like they can get bored or anything. They’re too young to know what’s really going on.” Rainbow answered.
“We don’t have to do anything, because it’s fine by me. Just as long as I’m with you.” Flash stated.
………………………………
Twilight rushed around her library trying to finish her assignment, which was due later today. At one point, Spike piped up and spoke.
“You know Twilight, you still have to fix Fluttershy’s house.” He said.
“Yes, and it’s not going to be easy, because my house burnt down to the ground.” Fluttershy added.
“Please don’t talk to me until I finish my assignment!” Twilight barked.
It was always very stressful for her to almost be tardy for an assignment, like the one time with the letter about friendship.
“Ugh, this won’t end well…” Spike sighed.
………………………………
“You know, it’s too bad we don’t have your Xbox. I could go for some more Minecraft right about now.” Rainbow said.
A smile slowly spread across Thunder Flash’s face.
“What, what is it?” Rainbow asked suspiciously.
Flash walked over to his suitcase and unzipped it. He reached inside, and pulled out his Xbox with two controllers. Rainbow gaped in shock.
“Flash, you’re a genius!” She marveled.
“Aren’t I?” He responded proudly.
They took a couple minutes to get the system hooked up to the TV. Flash turned it on, and the screen came to life, sporting the Xbox logo. The two foals sitting in the chair stared at it in awe.
“Alright, let’s get this party started!” Flash announced. He started up Minecraft, and they were brought to the title screen.
The little yellow text read ‘I will haunt your souls…’
Flash and Rainbow gasped simultaneously. “It’s okay, just ignore it.” Flash ordered reassuringly.
The two spawned in a desert, and they began their game.
After about fifteen minutes, it was nighttime in the game. The colt sitting in the chair giggled. He reached forward as far as his little legs could go, and he grabbed the controller out of his mommy’s hoof.
“Hey, give that back to me!” Rainbow ordered.
The colt giggled again, buzzed his wings, and took to the air, taking the controller with him. Rainbow and Flash stared, their jaws on the bed.
The filly saw what her brother was doing, and tried to mimic it. Sure enough, her tiny wings carried her into the air as well.
Flash and Rainbow weren’t able to fly after them, because the ceiling was too low for them. All they could do was run around their suite chasing their children.
While Rainbow and Flash were in the other room trying to get the controller out of the colt’s hooves, the filly hovered back into the first room. She giggled and grabbed Flash’s controller.
It was chaotic. Circus music would have been perfectly fitting for this type of situation. While Flash and Rainbow ran around on the floor, the foals hovered just below the ceiling, out of their reach.
At one point, Rainbow and Flash both came in different directions through the same doorway. Not paying attention, they slammed right into each other, crippling to the floor. They sat there and rubbed their heads.
“Alright, I get the filly, you get the colt. Are we good?” Flash asked.
“That works. Ready, set, go!” Rainbow replied. They both jump started, and ran to the different rooms to situate their corresponding foals.
Suddenly, Rainbow got an idea. She stayed in the same room, where the colt was. As soon as Flash chased the filly into the same room, she closed the door, trapping the foals in one room.
“Hey, nice idea!” Flash complimented. Soon after, they managed to capture their foals and get their controllers back.
After such a workout, Rainbow and Flash lied on the bed beside their foals, sweating and panting. All of sudden, the four of them broke out laughing, enjoying another family moment.
“I love you guys!” Flash said happily.
To be Continued…

I'm so sorry, this was a really short chapter! I just got serious writer's block, which also explains why it took so long. It may not be much, but I hope you enjoyed!
