Rainbow and Tony paced back and forth in the hospital. Pepper had gone in earlier that day, having gone into labor. Rainbow could barely think after hearing her Mother's screams of pain from the agony of delivery. She was not doing well. "Dad?" she asked worriedly, climbing into Tony's lap. "Is Mom gonna be okay?"
Tony gently stroked Rainbow's head. "Don't worry, Rainbow. She'll be just fine. Labor isn't exactly a pleasant process, but I'm sure everything's going to be fine. After all, Sif's overlooking the delivery. With Asgardian medical magitek, nothing can go wrong. We just need to be patient."
Rainbow sighed, allowing herself to be comforted. Curling up into Tony's lap, she watched the clock, waiting for the doctors to come out and tell them everything was going to be okay.
After about a half hour, Rainbow looked up at Tony. "How long is this going to take?" she asked impatiently.
"Anywhere from a few hours to a couple days, according to what I looked up," Tony replied patiently.
"You're kidding," Rainbow stated flatly. "Please tell me you're kidding," she pleaded when Tony didn't respond.
"Afraid not," Tony replied.
"What are we supposed to do while we wait?" she demanded angrily.
"I brought a deck of cards," Tony offered.
Sighing, Rainbow scooted over to the next seat. "Deal me in," she groaned.
----------
After several hours of card games - everything to Old Maid, gin rummy, Go Fish, War, and Speed (which Rainbow was proud of winning flawlessly at) - Sif came out with a blanket wrapped bundle.
"How's Mom?" Rainbow asked eagerly.
"Pepper's doing just fine," Sif replied softly. "Congratulations," she told Tony. "It's...a filly."
Rainbow could have sworn she heard a record scratch somewhere nearby as they both stared at Sif in confusion.
"What?" Tony demanded.
"I thought you told us it was going to be a boy?" Rainbow questioned.
"How did we give birth to a pony and not a human?" Tony asked, just as confused.
"How should I know?" Sif demanded. "I'm a Valkyrie, not a God." She turned back the blanket. "Still, here's your baby."
A tiny orange pony with a bright purple mane, tail, and eyes stared up at them with a smile.
"She's adorable!" Rainbow squealed. "Can we call her Scootaloo?"
Tony blinked. "I...don't see why not," he said, taking the bundle. "She is pretty cute, isn't she?"
Rainbow floated up to look closely at the new foal. "I'm your big sister, Squirt," Rainbow said happily. "Name's Rainbow Dash. Can you say 'Rainbow'?"
"Dashie, she was just born," Tony pointed out with a groan.
"Eye-bo!" Scootaloo said back happily.
"She said it!" Rainbow squealed happily. "Can you say my name again? Who am I?"
"Cupcake!" Scootaloo said plainly.
"What-?"
Rainbow's question was cut off as Scootaloo's mouth opened wide and ate her head whole.
"Waugh!" Rainbow screamed as she shot awake. Breathing heavily, she glanced around, realizing she was still in Avengers Tower. It was still several months before Pepper was due to deliver. And there was something she needed to do.
Flying into Hawkeye's room silently, she awoke him with two hind hoof kicks - one to each testicle - before zooming to Hulk's room to beg a glass of warm milk and a story that wouldn't give her such messed up nightmares.
BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Scootaloo NOOO!
don';t eat that! you'll get sick!
Oh dear god, the Batmare chapter WASN'T a joke.
Well, it's about damn time. It's good to see Hawkeye finally get what was coming to him.
That has to be the best april fools prank I've had all day!!!
This chapter is gold. Best AF work I've seen all day.
Everyone hates Hawkeye, I swear.
Hawkeye is that one uncle who loves messing with his neice. IT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE!
Thanks Hawkeye. Thanks a lot.
Good job Rainbow!
HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!
I saw the pony baby a mile away. But the Scootaloo baby took me by surprise.
And the Cupcake part, omg, I did not expect that!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! Well done!
PRECIOUS GOLD!
Best crossover fic ever !
Dammit, Hawkeye
aww dame you hade my hops up.
good chapter good work
Harts Fire
this is best chapter like ever
realizing she was still in Avengers Tower
1. I know it's a grammar thing but at times likes this, I always, always feel the need to add The before the location. It's how my brain is wired.
Guess we know that Rainbow is now balls to the walls mad at Hawkeye. At least she couldn't miss. Watch out, Rainbow now has her eye on you and will be Hawking you.
...llloooooooooool!
WOW!!! Excellent chapter. This has got to be my favorite April Fool's chapter that I've read yet.
... It had crossed my mind how funny it would be if Pepper and Tony had Scootaloo. I'm glad to see others thought of the possibilities. :)
OK, this makes up for the cop out on Codename Kids Next Door not getting a revival.
Yes, Scootaloo! Just like Auntie Pinkie taught you!
5812269 Good work, Nail. (Thank you, Lord Guru.)
. . . i have a feeling it involves rainbo-
. . . CURSE YOU APRIL FOOLS DAY AND RUINING MY HEADCANNON!
and i know Im going to be hated for this...
absolutely priceless you good sir made my funny bone ache
Best April Fools joke I've seen. Looking forward to more.
Keep up the good work. Deus tecum.
I thought I might have gotten away from that side of the internet. Then I remembered it's inside our minds at this point.
I was all like, 'Wait wat'
And then suddenly I could see forever!
Damn, that would've actually made for a good twist, eh.
Too bad it was an april fools joke, eh.
I guessed he deserved that because "cupcake"
( me: make sure pinkie isn't aroun-AHHHHH GOD SHE GOT ME
pinkie: Hehehe you will make a great cupcake
Me: AHHHHHHHHHHH-THE BEES THE BEES
Pinkie: awww but I need the honey, oh well
Me:AHHHHHHH-*squelch* *silence*)
Thank god for stunt doubles
I have a uncle that I exactly like Hawkeye, the "fun" and annoying uncle
*panting* Damn you, damn you to Tarterus for making me laugh so loud and for so long. I actually started to get dizzy and light-headed from how much I was laughing. This chapter was pure comedy genius. Would work well, IMHO, as a real chapter in the story and not an April Fools prank if extended out some with how the others react to Rainbow kicking Hawkeye in the balls later on after they all get up and find him walking funny and Rainbow glaring daggers at him.
omfg thank you so much for this chapter , i think this was the shortest thing i read that could make me laugh so much.

I actually deliberately wrote the chapter so that it could be taken as a non-canon joke chapter or a "Big Lipped Alligator" canon chapter. I'm glad I succeeded there.
hahahahahOMG wut
Finally Clint gets what he deserves. I love the chapter. I love how you give a hint that Rainbow's memories are still in her mind just buried deep.
A perfect chapter for April Fool's Day.
Based on everything that happens to him, I get the feeling that you don't really like Hawkeye...
5813186 I disagree. People tend to mistreat their favorite characters most. For example, I love Rainbow Dash ans Scootaloo, yet one of my fics I had Dashie's wings ripped off and another had Scootaloo blinded.
No words describe. You had me going for a minute there.

I neither like nor dislike Hawkeye. However, he's the one least likely to bond well with Rainbow, and thus most likely to be the one to prank her.
Why? I beg you, why?
Raaaah! I caught up. now what do I do? That was fun to read up to this point, though
b
EDIT: Shhhhh. Spike is giving a thumbs up.
At first i was like
Then i was like
Then i was like
And then i went
Until i saw the last paragraph

Kinky.
Hawkeye wont walk too well anytime soonouch!
Seriously, where are you getting those ideas? This story is proper comedy gold!
Also, ouch, Hawkeye. Ouch.
have you been reading 'Feeding Problems'?
FINALLY!!! he was such a bad influence on Rainbow
loved this chapter
Hahaha!

Why am I finding this similarity between this and Dante's Little Apple Surprise? Applejack snipes Dante in the balls.
"Let's not lose our heads, though!"

thats some fucked up shit
