Great chapter!

Thank you!
Very nice chapter as always.
Totes!!!
It's good to see that Bio's coming around. Personally, I'd have liked a little more tension between father and son before the eventual warming up, but then again I would've liked to have seen Angel whoop Silk's ass a few chapters back, so what do I know?
Also, goddammit Rhino.
When will you and Gel learn to stop tempting fate with your words? It's like you two want your lives to turn into a ponified Final Destination or something.
Sooooo... when are they going to go to somepony like Twilight or the Princesses and let them know that a changeling invasion of ponyville is probably going to happen because Gel wants out of the military?
3138876 Well they can't just get Gel to walk up and be like, "HELLO! I'm a changeling and there's going to be a changeling invasion anytime soon, but don't worry everypony! I'm not in their military anymore!"
No doubt Twilight would freak out instantly and go on a psychotic rampage which will then lead to a spin-off from this fic, and Celestia might not be as insane but certainly not as forgiving considering Chrysalis legitimately beat her with the concept of stolen love.
It's like when a bee shows up, starts buzzing around and the first thing most would say would be: "KILL IT. KILL IT WITH FIRE!"
Might take some time, a little restraint and possibly a few sleeper holds or two.
Great chapter btw!

Umm, thanks?

This raises a good point, and an interesting possibility. Like you said, Gel can't exactly go to anypony with authority and let them know about an impending invasion. Considering the past, especially Twilight, she might as well make it a declaration of war on behalf of the Changelings.
So what does she do? Wait until said invasion occurs. As soon as it does, she and Rhino make their way toward one or more Bearers, Twilight if they can help it since she basically has the ear of Princess Celestia. Fight off a few Changelings while she's in her "Angel" disguise, then wait for the best opportunity for her to drop it. When she does, Rhino fights by her side again to show that she's got the trust of at least one pony and that, maybe, she's not like the others.
Sure, they'll probably catch hell for hiding a Changeling for as long as they have. But, if it works and Gel's able to gain the trust of at least one Bearer (again, Twilight is ideal), then our loveable lovers will basically be in the clear. Not to mention the fact that Celestia and the Bearers would gain a valuable ally against the Changeling threat.

Hmm.... *scribble scribble*

If you go that route, I demand 3% of whatever nonexistent profits you make from this story.

"IT'S A-"
"Whoa, there, Apple Bloom. Rhy and I have to say it."

...
How big of a fan am I that it took me a little while to figure out that joke?
I'm not the only guy to have thought of the engagement necklace. Great chapter and I see that you are adding some mystery to Rhino with the unknown spell and the second part of his plan.
3141058
If they manage to convince one of the Elements, it could cause the already flighty Canterlot nobility to consider them to be traitors to the crown, and if Celestia doesn't punish them for their "treasonous" actions, then that would be "evidence" of her being under the sway of the changelings.
Equestria would be without the power of the Elements, and the royal sisters would be deposed to keep the changelings from sabotaging their nation's government. The changelings would destroy Equestria's stability simply by existing; they wouldn't even need to lift a hoof to do so. Then Chrysalis enacts Canterlot Invasion Take Two and succeeds, now that nothing stands in her way. The Equestrians become paranoid and spiteful over the course of Chrysalis' rule, slowly starving the changelings to death. Once the changeling species has died out, equestrian society would break apart and their mutual hatred and distrust would bring the Windigoes back, and the paradise that was Equestria would become an icy wasteland, frozen along with what was left of the Equestrian people.
That is, however, if the Elements and their friends and allies are unable to save the day, and when does Twilight Sparkle ever fail?
3143496
That's assuming things go completely to shit as part of the worst case scenario. Besides, it's been established that Celestia isn't very fond of the Canterlot nobles anyway. It wouldn't be out of the question for her to tell them to shut up and listen for a spell. Besides that fact, Gel could have an entire town's worth of character witnesses besides the Bearers. If Ponyville can't convince a few rich jerks that one Changeling isn't so bad, then Gel and Rhino have a huge problem.
Besides, it's not like Chrysalis and the Changelings would be able to stand much of a chance anyway. Celestia would have the advantage with her sister Luna at her side and Chrysalis not getting a love power-up. Failing that, Shining Armor and Cadance could simply roll into town and lay the hostile Changelings to waste-like.
By the way, Twilight has failed before. Magical Duel. She got a salty runback at the end of the episode, though.
3144190
Trixie had an ancient all-powerful cursed magical artifact boosting her magic to near-godlike levels.
Also, that was partially a joke and a reference to S3 E2's ending.

1. True, but that still led to Twilight getting bodied pretty free. Twilight only won because she played the metagame.
2. Oh yeah. I totally forgot that was a thing.
3144208
Getting bodied pretty free? What does that even mean?
3144283
"Getting bodied" - Getting beaten.
"pretty free" - Little to no effort involved on the part of the winner
And, in case you were wondering...
"salty runback" - Winning a rematch
Geez, son. Play more fighting games.
I jest. I tend to forget that fighting game terminology doesn't always translate easily.
3139099
Those reactions are exactly what I'm counting on.
3144499
... I guess I can see it, but... salty runback? That just seems... odd.
3145916
A runback is a rematch, while being salty means you're mad over loss to begin with. You're said to be salty because some reactions look like the loser had themselves a spoonful of salt.
You'd think it would just mean being mad during a rematch, but the term's only used when the person that was upset over the first match wins the rematch.
If you're lost, join the club. We're working on getting a glossary and a map drawn up.
The FGC isn't the most sensible bunch of people out there.
3145943
It just seems... unnecessarily convoluted.
3155578
A fair point, but it shows life goes on, even while things heat up in the background, unknown to our protagonists.
Engagement necklace... That actually makes a lot of sense.
Okay small question because I do love proper pronunciation ; is it Rhyno or Rheeno
AM I THE ONLY ONE HERE WHO DOESN'T GET THE F***ING JOKE ABOUT NOT ENOUGHT ROOM BEING HERE?!!?>!??!?kkkfedjpo
I'm so angry right now.
4278028 first I loved this chapter it got in some good future mother and daughter in law time and some good father and son time.And I'm happy Bio is coming along with the idea that Gel will be good wife mitral for his so.And both parents get to see that they 100%truly love each other.And it made you wonder what Rhino has up his sleeves.Second he meant not enough rooms for them and there future kids .I can't wait to see what happens next to them all and what happens between Gel and Rhino next.
You missed a bit of editing while preparing your log for post.

Yay, Bio warmed up to Gel!
