Chapter 1: Beyond Embarrassing

"Sombra..." Pinkie said, sounding uncharacteristically resigned.

Sombra sighed and looked up from his Daring Do book, a series that he had taken a liking to a while ago. His annoyance faded when he saw Pinkie's downcast look and her troubled frown.

"Yes?" Sombra asked, trying not to be short with Pinkie. She was his reformer, after all.

"There's..." she trailed off, then took a deep breath before saying, "...there's something I need to tell you."

Sombra blinked in surprise. She sounded unbelievably serious, which wasn't like her at all.

"What is it?" he asked, suddenly interested in her behavior.

"Is something bothering you?" Twilight asked, looking up from her study area.

Pinkie shook her head, then thought better of it and slowly nodded.

"What is it?" Twilight questioned in a concerned tone, rushing to her friend's side.

"It's, uh..." Pinkie tried to say, "...kinda embarrassing."

"Then why are you telling me?" Sombra snapped, not appreciating Pinkie wasting his time, "Just tell Sparkler!"

Twilight frowned. "I hate it when you call me that."

"Why else do you think I say it, Sparkler?"

"Guys," Pinkie said sternly, gaining their attention. She turned towards Sombra, immediately looking down as she avoided his gaze. What was she so embarrassed about?

"Pinkie, what's so embarrassing that it's so hard for you tell me?" Twilight asked, then spared Sombra a sideways glance, "And why does Sombra need to know?"

Pinkie looked down at the floor even more intently as she answered too quietly for Twilight nor Sombra to hear her.

"What?" Twilight inquired, quirking a brow.

Pinkie mumbled again, just barely above her previous volume.

"What?" Sombra blurted out, matching Twilight's tone.

Pinkie sighed and mumbled again, still too quiet for either to hear.

"Will you just tell us already?!" Sombra exclaimed, his patience wearing thin.

Pinkie's head snapped up and she gave Sombra steely glare before shouting in his face at a screechy volume, "I'm pregnant!"

Both Twilight and Sombra blinked in shock at Pinkie's exclamation before shouting simultaneously, "What?!"

"I'm pregnant, alright?" Pinkie huffed, then sighed, "I thought it'd best if you two found out first."

"But why me?!" Sombra exclaimed, throwing his hooves in the air, "I don't need to know about what goes on in your love life, you idiot!"

Pinkie looked down again, then awkwardly shuffled her hooves. "About that..."

"Answer my question, Pinkie!" Sombra demanded, "You have seconds to explain yourself!"

"...You're the father," Pinkie finished, looking up from the floor to give him a sheepish grin.

Sombra stopped glaring at her and gave her blank stare. "What?"

"I'm gonna go ahead and say, 'WHAT?!'" Twilight screeched, sounding calm then panicked almost immediately.

"When?!" Sombra shrieked, "And how?! What makes you think I'm the father?!"

"Do you remember when we woke up next to each other one morning and we weren't sure that anything happened the night before?" Pinkie asked, giving him an awkward look.

"Yes..." Sombra drawled, fearing what his answer meant.

"Well, looks like we got our answer!" Pinkie exclaimed, letting out a nervous laugh.

Both Twilight and Sombra continued to gape at Pinkie, trying to think of something to say but no words coming to mind. Finally, after minutes of uninterrupted silence, Pinkie let out a loud laugh, surprising everypony in the room.

"April Fools, silly fillies!" Pinkie exclaimed, snorting through her giggles.

Sombra blinked. "What?" he blurted out, raising a brow in confusion.

Pinkie laughed as she pointed at him. "You should've seen your faces!"

Twilight frowned. "That wasn't very funny, Pinkie."

Pinkie's giggles dimmed, but only slightly. "Come on, Twilight! It was all in good fun!"

"No, it wasn't," Sombra said firmly, furrowing his brows.

Pinkie stopped laughing altogether. "I didn't mean to make you upset, Sombry."

Sombra shook his head. "You said that I was the father of our unborn child, which isn't even real, might I add, and you just decide that's it all in good fun?"

"Well-"

"And did you ever stop to think what could've happened?" Sombra continued, "A stallion of my stature getting a mare pregnant out of wedlock? What if I proposed to rectify the situation?"

"I-"

"And let's not forget the emotional damage," Sombra added, "let's imagine you actually are pregnant, shall we?"

"Alright," Pinkie replied, finally managing to speak.

"What would you have done if I said I'd help you in raising it?" Sombra asked, walking towards her, "That was the last thing you'd expect me to do, right?"

Pinkie opened her mouth to object, but immediately closed it as she realized he was right about his claim.

"Figures," Sombra said as he stood directly in front of her, "and it's such a shame, too."

"It is?" Twilight and Pinkie said together, blinking in shock.

"I'd love to have foals," Sombra said as he leaned towards Pinkie's shocked form.

"You would?" Pinkie blurted out, her eyes wide.

"Mm-hmm..." Sombra purred, "And I'm sure you would, too, correct?"

Pinkie didn't reply, only letting out a small squeak as a response.

"So what's stopping us?" Sombra breathed, his muzzle nearing hers.

"Uhhhhhh...." Pinkie droned, her mind going completely blank as her face went a darker shade of pink.

Sombra didn't say anything for a moment, then leaned towards Pinkie, making her let out a hitched breath. His muzzle was next to her ear in an instant and she could feel his breath.

"Let's make a baby together," he whispered.

In that moment, Pinkie's entire body became overcome with emotion as she let out a loud sigh and collapsed against the floor. Sombra grinned and let out a small chuckle at the unconscious mare's expense.

"April Fools," Sombra said, grinning victoriously, "I win."

Author's Note:

This is before Sombra and Pinkie got together in my SombraPie multi-chapter fic, mind you. Happy April Fools, you guys.

Don't prank someone who doesn't have anything to lose. Thank you Sombra.

Grogar: ...:facehoof: How I despise this holiday...

PFF HAHA! xD pinkie you are a true pranker, but sombra can prank too :rainbowlaugh: what would happen if celestia pranked sombra or somepony with it :trollestia:

4171790 Sombra is fun to write =P

I haven't been following your series, but even out of context, this was still funny as heck. I truly lost it at "let's make a baby together".

Granted, I could see it coming, but it was still very delightfully funny. A like for you, ma'am!

4173366
Ahem, I think you mean "ma'am"?

4173448 My apologies, fixed.

4173452
Ha, I was just kidding, but thanks anyway.

4173456
This story clenches it; Trombra is best Sombra.:rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh:

I always love a good pregnant and baby making joke, eh. :moustache:

4175569
Trollestia has got some competition!

Yes. There is that ooooone dislike. Wow.

Dick move Pinkie. Dick move.

Twilight must of been brain damaged by the end of that back and forth. Nice story. Sombra was awesome, just wish I knew what Twilight thought about the last bits. Probably excused herself and book a book with her to the room. xD

Wow. Unexpected ending. Well played, Sombra. You did indeed win.

ok read title :unsuresweetie:
read the story at first :facehoof: and then i was like :rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh:

And then they end up having a child exactly one year later.
April Foal's Day.:pinkiehappy:

Sombra: WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'RE NOT KIDDING THIS TIME???

A nice little story around a joke. I liked it.

4182512 Don't know why that makes me think of Daring Don't and Pinkie's hula-hooping that ring.

Pinkie has got some dope moves. :twilightblush:

4175986
Might not be so much of a joke...

4183960 Really depends how seriously the jokester take it, eh. :trixieshiftright:

4184043
Ha, poor Pinks didn't see it coming!

4184295 No one would see it coming considering the retort was coming from Sombra, eh. :trollestia:

April fools indeed! Ha! Take that pinkie! :rainbowlaugh:

I agree with Sombra.... What.

I can't even post in good faith my re-wording of the last bit of dialogue to fit the reason I found it so funny, especially since it's a piece of a larger fic where the two might actually be together.

Funny fic.

I've seen this joke play out a few times. It usually ends with someone mad as hell. The ending I honestly saw coming, though.

Loved it!
Love how quickly, comically, and appropriately the conflicts resolve themselves. Sombra you sly bastard! :rainbowlaugh:

BUAHAHAHA!
THIS IS SO GOOD!
:rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh:

AWESOME!!!
FUNNY FUNNY FUNNY!!!!!!!:rainbowlaugh: :rainbowlaugh: :rainbowlaugh: :rainbowlaugh:
