Epilogue 2 - Junebug
Flitter
Epilogue 2
Junebug
"Hello! We're back, missus Rain!" a chorus of three identical voices yelled. One of the three had actually said "mom", rather than "missus Rain", but it was impossible to see which of the three identical-looking fillies had done that. All three were pink-haired unicorns with a white coat, and no cutie mark.
Morning Rain sighed and shook her head, but couldn't help smiling at the trio standing in front of the door. "Glad you had fun. I hope you didn't mess with too many ponies' heads this time."
The three immediately gave her the awkward grins of children trying to look innocent. Morning Rain decided she really didn't want to know. If they'd done anything wrong, it'd probably be the twins' parents hearing about it anyway, since all three looked like them.
"Right," she said, "now transform back already, supper's just about ready."
"Just about? Then we still got a few minutes, right?" the left filly piped up.
The right one nodded gravely. "Yes." She looked at Morning Rain. "Can we play for a few more minutes then? Here in the garden?"
"Oh yes, please?" the middle one added herself to the chorus.
Morning Rain gave all three of them a stern look. "Junebug, don't make me get your dad to pick you out."
The right filly gasped, and looked at the other two. "He can do that?"
The middle filly nodded gravely. "Oh yeah. Family, that's how he can tell, remember?"
The left one frowned. "Huh, really? I don't remember that."
"She told us about that yesterday!" the middle one said to the left one. "Because he's a changeling, and she's a kinda-changeling, and he's her dad."
"Oh yeah," the left one said, still sounding rather unconvinced.
Morning Rain groaned, and put a hoof on her forehead. "Look, fillies you've had your fun, but we really have to eat now." She put her hoof down and smiled. "I made asparagus soup."
"Yay!" two of the fillies said. The one standing on the left put on a sour face.
Morning Rain grinned, and looked at the sour-faced filly. "So, you're Sparkleheart." She turned back to the other two. "And one of you two is my daughter."
The two remaining fillies gave Sparkleheart a disappointed look. "Aww, look what you've done, Spark," one of them said, "now she's figuring it out."
"And one of you two..." Morning Rain said with a sly grin, "really hates oatmeal."
Unsurprisingly, the two fillies in front of her kept completely straight faces. They weren't going to make it that easy, especially after all the trouble they'd gone through.
A black figure appeared behind Morning Rain, and gave 'Sparkleheart' a questioning look. The filly quietly slipped into the doorway and walked towards Flitter.
"Hey dad!" she whispered, morphing into to a pinkish purple pegasus with a blue mane. The only indication that she wasn't a normal pony was a small black knob on her forehead, where a unicorn's horn would be.
"Are you messing with your poor mother's head again?" the changeling asked softly, grinning widely.
Junebug looked at her mom, who was still standing in the doorway, peering intently at the neighbours' twin daughters.
She grinned, and winked at the two fillies. The twins kept their own eyes firmly on Morning Rain, to prevent spoiling the game.
"She'll figure it out," she said softly, and she made her way to the dinner table. She loved asparagus soup.

The End!
As I mentioned before in the comments, I'll still have one more update; next tuesday I'm adding the original short story that started it all, as a little extra. Besides cleaning up some style errors, it's completely unedited though.
As you can see, this one is just a barrel of d'awws, and not much more
doesn't say complete. o and is there going to be a sequel?
There is going to be a sequel...right? *Squee*
1668972
I just mentioned the reason why
excellent
That was funny!

Been binging on the Underworld movies this week, and had the wacky idea of writing a commando-style grown up Junebug action story, but... I think I better not

Great story, its sad to see ending of it. I still hope for some more stories like this one :)
Happy ending.
Victory is boring.
yay! good story
1668977 hay it's not my fault, I don't usually refresh the comments before commenting. and you edited your comment after i had entered and read the chapter. anyway it'll be fun seeing chrysalisis reaction to a hive living in equestria.
cheers
Nice job man, I'm glad your ending the
story in such a good way.
Eddie
Story still says incomplete. Might wanna fix that.
Awesome ending to the story, good work.
What a devious little half-changeling XD WHY MUST THIS END!!!
1669049
Oh all right, I'll change it
A great ending!
I'm sad to see it drawing ever closer to the end end but... hey I still have had enjoyed it and have had fun!
Looking forward to the last bits
1668955
And it was foretold, that the Dawwwwwws would be strong with this one...
Very good scene, loved the cuteness of it. Was glad that you expanded on your original story, it turned out very well, and was enjoyable to read. Any ideas as to your next story yet now that you've finished (mostly) with Flitter and Rain?
I hope you continue this at some point in the future.
This was pretty damn

Sorry, not a clue... I never even planned on writing Flitter. It was just a silly but original idea, and once I had it, I just had to write it down. I have no idea if that'll happen again.
As I said before, my Muse is a fickle mare.
1669131and to think this started as a little one-shot
1669226
Indeed
A lovely ending to a lovely story.
That was adorable.
Dawwww.
I wish this had sequels...
I rate this a 2 out of 3 Princesses. ...because we don't have a Cadence Emoticon. dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/Luna_lolface.png

Nice ending, good story, well done.
Trolling like a boss
1669234
And to think this wouldn't get in the top five highest rated stories.
Well, it was... 6th place still isn't that bad right?
1669428
I resent the current trend in our society to call everything "trolling" that used to be classified as simply "pranking"
Trolling is annoying people into losing their temper at you, while you hide behind the anonymity of the internet and watch them rage. Nothing else.
1669438
I remember it climbing up the Popular Stories ladder and staying just below those in the Feature box... then again, IIRC, that was around the time Pen Stroke decided to dump all his stuff on fimfic, so, rather unfair competition
Well, this was nice.
So, what now?
1669001 Bah! Go soak yer head ye numpty oaf!
1669131
Funny, I consider mine a rampaging beast that cannot be sated by any but myself.
This story was full of concentrated awesome inside a bag of chips.
1669441 she doesn't know that her daughter was sparkler
love the way you have ended this
!! almost feel sorry for Morning Rain
You're just putting this here so we won't pester you for a sequel.
But I'll be strong, I demand you write anoth ...
Dawww! That is so cute!
1669556
Actually... I wrote this just after Chapter 3. Long before I had any idea how to end the actual storyline
But anyway, the d'aww approach does seem to work
For some odd reason, I was having a hard time telling which one was supposed to be her daughter too...? I need more sleep...
Sad to see it end but who knows what the future holds...only time will tell.
1669234
If ya would be so kind maybe I could use your AU to write a continuation. If it pleases the court that is.
1670175
...use my what?
Sorry, as I said before, I haven't got a sequel planned, but I do have a tendency to keep thinking about my characters, so it may still happen. Also, I kinda don't feel comfortable with others writing my characters
1670192
No no not using the ones you have already written. I would never ask a person to share their creations with me. Oh and AU stands for Alternate Universe. What I was asking was if I could write something that uses the world you created and insert my own little bits and pieces like my own characters and places. small stuff only.
Beautiful ending to a great story.
A great story indeed. Admittedly, I had to reread the ending to get what had happened, but I still think it is funny. Loved this fic. LOVED IT!
REGARDLESS I LOVED IT!
1668955
oh please, please tell me you'll be writing more. Maybe about a new character in the same universe, maybe something entirely new, just please, WRITE. You are just too good a writer not to.
And good to see they got a happy ending.
I loved this story. I am hoping to see more awesomeness from you in the future.
Hopefully a sequel? nah, you prolly won't.
Well, there's a lot of implied material in this epilogue. Obviously, we're now somewhere between five and ten years down the line (hard to tell when you have to guess as to how fast a hybrid changeling matures, though it looks like she is more likely to be aging at pony rates for the most part.) There's no real indication of whether or not any other Hives ever joined in on Morphosai's venture, though with the implications here I'm guessing that changelings are effectively a fourth member of pony society at this point, though a bit reclusive still, and whatever passes for Hives are likely to have a decent leavening of ponies resident (probably a high number of pegasii, given that they are designed with a flying species in mind) sharing the habitat cells. Morning Rain seemed to find the Hive accommodations quite comfortable, I suppose that it's even possible that by this point Hive retreats are offered as a vacation spot for the adventuresome pony (couples preferred, naturally.) Everfree's still got to be considered a fairly wild region of Equestria, but Morphosai's Hive is a safe zone from which you can branch out to study the region's unique wildlife, likely with changeling guides. With Celestia handling the needs of the hive, I'm sure that Morphosai's spending a lot of time in a teaching mode, or maybe even just playing at being grandmother to all her little changelings. She may even have time to host a visit from the Princesses on occasion. There's got to be a lot of changeling history that's been added to Equestrian libraries, I'm sure that Twilight Sparkle was one of the leaders in that area.
It's nice to see that Flitter and Morning Rain expanded their family, I'm guessing that Junebug's name is an indicator of when she was born, as well as being a homage to Flitter's background. Now we know that at least if the gestating parent is a pony, our hybrid is mostly pony with hints of changeling and the shifting ability, though no real demonstrated empathic ability or particular need for consumption of emotions for sustenance. I would imagine if the reverse was the case, there would be a stronger changeling influence (that whole egg to larva thing, you know.) On the other hoof, if the pattern stays the same for the infant, the changeling mother might find that the larva hatches quickly, and is a warm happy love battery for the family, just like in the opposite direction. Likely, Junebug and others like her are still not a very large number, but I'm sure that they are being watched closely by Morphosai and the Princesses to see how the experiment is proceeding. These are probably some of the main reasons for Morphosai to visit outside her hive.
I would imagine that Flitter's still at work as the chief admistrator of the various changeling agencies, simply because he's been doing a good job (and likely nobody else wants the paperwork that goes with the job.) Judging from the relaxed face he was showing here, things are probably running very smoothly, though I suppose that he could have just gotten very good at separating work from his home time. Morning Rain's quite settled into the family routine, and given that this is their second child, I doubt that she's dropped her position as the weather pony in charge of waterfall management in Canterlot, if she hasn't graduated to a higher position by now. All in all, a happy family moment, and a good closing point for the story.
That was indeed a barrel full of awwws.
Sad to see it go but it ended on a clever note.
Looking forward to what ever your next project maybe.
