"Aagh! Another one liner. I don't know what we're doing wrong, Spike!"
Spike called from the bedroom, "Well, I don't really know either. Maybe we could ask Zecora to help?" Rarity pondered the idea for a short spell, then walked out of the bathroom.
"Well, Spikey-Wikey," Rarity said wearily, laying a hoof on her husbands shoulders, "it seems Zecora is the best option at this point. Sweetie Belle and I were going to go tomorrow, taking some herbs and ingredients Zecora said she needed. You can come along and we'll ask her about it." Rarity huffed. "I can't believe my little sister actually had foals before I could. I can't understand much though. It could have to do with our different species qualities. Honestly, you're a dragon, for Fausts sake! If my element hadn't extended my life, I don't think this would've worked."
"You do have a good point," Spike said, "I'm just glad dragons like me mature and grow faster than young colts. If I was a pony, oh ho. This definitely wouldn't have worked." A small letter appeared on Spike's bedside table. The violet and pink striped ribbon let him know it was Twilight. He opened it and read it out loud. "'Rarity and Spike, Would you two like to visit today? The castle is always open to my family and friends. We're having lunch, with dandelion sandwiches, a small gem cake for Spike, tea, and lemonade. Hope you will join! Love, Twilight.' Should we go? It sounds like a good time to catch up."
Rarity replied excitedly, "Sure! I'd love to see Rainbow Dash and how round she is! Here, I'll write the reply." Rarity got out a slip of parchment and a quill. She wrote, 'Dearest Twilight, Spike and I would love to come over! Thank you so much for inviting us. We'll be by a little early, about 11 o'clock. Hope you don't mind, we'd just like to catch up with you first. Your dearest sister-in-law, Rarity.' She wrapped the note in a violet and green striped ribbon and gave it to Spike, where he blew his recently discovered magenta fire to send to Twilight.
"Come on, let's just start getting ready, if we'll be early. I will not wear a suit, Rares. Just a forewarning," Spike said, climbing out of the shared bed to clean up.
"I'm ready, Spikey! I'll be down in a moment," Rarity called down the stairs of her boutique. Before Rarity came a small gift for Rainbow Dash, a hoof-sewn doll for her daughter. "I just know Dash will let her daughter have this, it's perfect!" The doll was a perfect resemblance of the rainbow-colored mare, with magenta button eyes and a Wonderbolts outfit sewn on. The small Rainbow Dash doll was nearly a remake of Dash's Spitfire doll from when she was a foal.
"Well, of course Dash'll let the filly have it, it's a perfect representation of how 'awesome her mom is.' That last part is a direct quote from RD. It's mainly because AJ asked her if she'd let her daughter have a doll," Spike said. "Don't be surprised if AJ has a doll for Rainbows daughter too."
Rarity replied, "I wouldn't be surprised anyways. I heard Twilight got her a little blanket, a light gold one. All right, let's head out."
The dragon and the unicorn mare left the large boutique. It's size had to be slightly modified for the still-growing dragon. And someday soon, for their growing foal or foals. Rarity wore a extra decorated sundress, since 'Simple' isn't in her fashion vocabulary. The end was studded with tiny gem shards, a shiny blue ribbon tied around her waist, and another blue ribbon tied into a ribbon on her head. The ribbon on her head held her extra hair that wouldn't go into a ponytail out of her face.
When they arrived at the enormous crystalline castle of Twilight, Rainbow Dash floated down on her cloud that Soarin insisted she use for transportation. "Hey Rares, Spike. How's the baby stuff going?" Rainbow asked, her own bulging stomach buried into the cloud.
"Ah! Rainbow Dash, I was hoping to see you first!" Rarity said, and opened her saddlebag to get out the doll. Rainbow gasped at the likeness of herself and her Spitfire doll she'd had. "I didn't have it done at the foal shower, so I though I'd give it to you at the next possible time. Oh, and to answer your question, still nothing yet."
Spike rubbed his eye, saying, "Yeah. We're going to Zecora tomorrow to see what she can do."
"I'm so sorry guys," Dash said, "I'm sure Zecora could help though, she's got all the potions and stuff." Dash stepped off the cloud, tying it down to one of the castle's more misshapen crystal pieces. "Let's just head inside, I'm STARVI-I-I-ING!" Rarity giggled while Spike chuckled and opened the door for the two mares with his wing.
Once they got to the main room, there was a loud laugh, a familiar sound from the one and only Apple Jack. "Pinkie Pie, I cannot believe how you come up with these things!" AJ said, still laughing, tears running down her face. She wiped away a stream of tears, only for more to stain her cheeks. Once she caught her breath, Apple Jack said, "Hey, it's Dash, Rarity, and Spike! Howdy, y'all. Rares, any news on yer baby-makin' yet?"
"Still none, AJ," Rarity said.
Dash somewhat interrupted, "They'll be stopping at Zecora's tomorrow. Here, look at what Rarity got me for Rapid!"
"Ah ah ah!" Spike said, continuing, "Hoof-made for you. And so Rapid is going to be your daughter's name?"
"Yeah, Rapid Strike. I do hope she'll be fast like me and Soarin, but you never know." Rainbow shrugged, indicating she didn't know whether her daughter would be a wild fire, burning fast and crazy, or a tame little pit fire, calm and collected. She could even be like a bonfire, large and something to see while controlled.
Fluttershy was the last one to arrive, an egg it a tiny basket on her back. Her lengthy mane was in a braid she had to drape across her back. "Oh," she said in her high, quiet voice, "am I the last to come?"
Twilight stepped into the room, saying, "Technically, no. But in a certain way, yes, you were the last one to come into the castle. I was the last one to come into the room. Wonderful, now that we're all here, I'll bring in the food and drinks." Her magenta magic brought three platters out, each with different dish. A large teapot, seven teacups, and a large pitcher floated out alongside the platters, and they were set neatly on the decorated table. Twilight hadn't been able to remove any of Rarity's decorations from the dining room when she'd asked her five friends if they'd help make her castle feel more like home.
Occasionally, Rarity would come in to change the decorations, washing the dirty parts and polishing the gems. Always replacing the ribbons and such. She'd done so yesterday and realized today she'd need to replace the tacky ribbons. "Twilight, dearest, it's always a pleasure to come and visit! I'm just glad you picked such a gorgeous day! When we're done, I was hoping we'd go outside and just enjoy the weather."
"Rarity," Twilight exclaimed, "that sounds like a perfect idea! We could get some kites, bring out any extra tea and lemonade we have, and just sit in the sun!"
Apple Jack said gleefully, "That there sounds a might perfect, if ya ask me." She tipped her hat up a small bit, and blew a loose strand of her mane out of her eyes.
For some reason, Pinkie Pie had been silent the entire time. Rarity looked at the pink earth pony mare, only to see her asleep on a dandelion sandwich. She'd drooled all over the smashed bread, a quiet snore escaping her lips. Rarity took her fainting pillow - which she never left the house without - and put it in place of the sandwich, making sure to have a drool-catcher under Pinkie's mouth.
"I do wonder what caused Pinkie to be so exhausted," Rarity said quietly, thinking of Cheese Sandwich's declaration of love only two weeks before. Pinkie had been ecstatic, since she shared these feelings, and for the past couple days, had never been away from Cheese up until today.
"Well, whatever the outcome for our visit with Zecora, if Pinkie can't make it to the announcement of the outcome, we'll tell her as soon as we can."
"Sweetie, Spike, are you ready to head to Zecora's?" Rarity called. She had gathered up all the ingredients Zecora had told Sweetie Belle she needed for a very important potion. Rarity wasn't sure what it was, but she'd helped anyways.
"I'll be down in a minute," Spike and Sweetie called in unison. Sweetie came out first, her lengthy mane tied into a tight ponytail. Her slightly round stomach showed signs of foal number two for her and Button. There was no guarantee this next foal would be male or female just yet.
"Wow, Rarity," Sweetie said, "I've never been done after you! It's a new Ponyville record of you finishing getting ready!"
Rarity replied with a simple chuckle, saying, "Cut it out, Sweetie. I know, I take a long time to get ready, but I didn't have anything to change. You only took longer because of your ponytail."
Spike came out a second later, explaining, "My basket tipped over. I had to pick everything back up."
"That's alright, Spikey, you only took a minute or two. Let's head out," Rarity said, reassuring Spike.
"Ah, so that's what you need, a potion to fertilize your seed. Do not worry, this potion will be done in a hurry," Zecora said after Spike and Rarity explained what was going on. Zecora handed Spike a small cup and whispered in his ear. A heavy blush flooded over his cheeks, but he went outside for a short while. "Now, while the dragon gathers, I'll mix the other matters. Petals of a Heart's Desire flower, a sprinkle of gem shards to enhance the power." Spike came back inside, a clearish liquid in the cup. Zecora poured the liquid into the potion, and she stirred it, saying an incantation. The potion turned clear, as though it was water.
Zecora took out a small ladle-full of the potion and gave it to Rarity, saying, "Drink up, young mare, there is no time to spare." As Rarity drank the potion, Spike gave Zecora a questioning look. She recognized it quickly and said, "The effects weaken if not drank in a day, but if you want to hurry, you may. A few days from today, come back to me and do as I say."
Check out "Raritys Egg"
A twist on makin bacon Dern it Bloom it aint polite talkin like that!

"Spike and Rarity don't sleep on it or you will have a Denver Omelet !"
"Zacora why did she drink it don't it go in the other end?" Oh no I dropped the baby!
6067804 real quick, she drank it because that's the only way to get the potion to work.
At least, that's my headcanon.
6067827 Can't argue with a name like Deadlypegasister
6067998 Hey, are you making fun of me??
6068137 Do I have to answer that??? Looks like I'm in poor ol Spikes position-In trouble either way?
So, for Sparity, sex is fun but not productive, since it isn't resulting in foals. Obviously the others are doing things with their mates and it works fine, even for Rarity's sister Sweetie Belle. And obviously foals result. I can assume that Flutters and Discord have did some bedroom activities as well, since it showed that Fluttershy showed up with an egg.
So the only way for Spike and Rarity to have kids is to temporarily turn Rarity into a dragonness (inside at least) so she could be able to accept Spike's dragon swimmers?? I call BS. The FlutterCord (implied) showed that dragons and equines can mate. Not to mention that there have been other instances where dragons are universal breeders--doesn't care what species, offspring will be conceived.
Obviously you have a plan for all of it though, so I will have to look for more...
6068137
6068158 I don't even think your taking this seriously. If I'm right once those eggs hatch ponyville will be the first to see a pony dragon hybrid. The start of a new race in equestria. This would give celestia a reason to at least have better ties with the dragon nation and start getting some social changes done. Though I can already see a problem here. Rarity has always tied to intergrate herself in noble circles with varying results. You better have twilight and cadence help them with the whole nobles might send assassination experts after the kids thing. Considering blueblood and others like him this is a valid concern.
6069981 Dragons can make rocks pregnant, That's why you had Tom as a coltfriend!
We shall never speak of this again !
Equines - mammals don't lay eggs
What about a cute Ducky billed platapussy? WUT!
Pinkie you're a genius !
I'm here too!
They were turned into platapusses.................Omelets for everypony!
Keep it going good conceptual idea
6070169 okay I'm starting to think your not fully sane. And don't mangle the word platypus or if you were referring to the plural it's actually the word platipi pronounced plati-pie you actually made it sound offensive. I know your trying to make a joke but I'm going to be blunt here. Your joke is on the level I once did involving the infinite time loops. So horrible it can result in a ban for a while. I get that your user name is supposed to be pronounced as hillbilly but that doesn't mean you have to act like one. That and I doubt anyone can follow your comments. The way I see it your indirectly telling the author he or she isn't cut out to be a writer and that's not a good thing. Sure you pointed out a flaw but the way your picking at it is honestly ruining the point your trying to make. You should have told the author how to fix the problem. If it's about rarity laying eggs you could have just told the author that there was at least a better option to explain it. Like poison joke making it happen. We are not even sure that plant has the same effect on every being that is contacted with it. Fluttershy's was possibly chance.
6070646 Have a little fun cup cake, (Pinkie pies Platapussy is what it is) It's a funny story and you got butt hurt. . .
I think DeadlyPegasisters on to a good one, Can you imagine a clutch of eggs and Ponyville over run by the hatchlings?
6068158 No, I'm asking in a joking way.
6069873 Well, it's not FlutterCord, it's DisLestia, but Fluttershy came with the egg as a gift to Rainbow Dash, I just didn't address it anymore. I should have, and I'll probably change the chapter a bit. But the DisLestia problem is they go to Zecora as well, as Twilight recommends it. My headcanon is that ponies can mainly mate with ponies, so Spike's sperm doesn't work with Rarity's non fertile egg. Just like Discord with Celestia.
And yeah, I can see what you're getting at, with the whole thing. Rarity, her womb being transformed basically into a dragons womb to grow the eggs. I hadn't thought of it that way, so...
And RD is with Soarin, from the Wonderbolts; Sweetie Belle with Button Mash, a fan made character; Apple Jack with Caramel, he's an long since seen background pony; Twilight with Flash Sentry; Rarity with Spike, of course; Fluttershy later gets together with Bulk Biceps, one of the side characters from season 4's episode Rainbow Falls; and Luna gets together with a random bat pony from her Royal Guard. And since he's still a bat PONY, it works.
6069981 I hadn't thought of the Noble's Trying to Kill the Foals thing. It makes sense that some ponies wouldn't like the fact that there's a new species, but the species basically fades away over a few generations, since the dragon-pony foals breed with regular ponies. It'll be explained later in the story, don't worry.
And the noble's worst problems aren't just the hybrid foals, it's also Celestia and Discords hybrid foals as well. I've created two foals for Tia and Discord already, they just don't have a story at this moment.
6071113 yeah this is just like what happened to the sea-ponies from generation one. Seems they been turned into the sirens from rainbow rocks. Anyone else noted the similarities there. We know g1 does have some canon to the fim verse through tirek. So I'm not going to be surprised sea ponies were evolved to the sirens. Not much has changed with them. Just the verbal quirk and design. The singing is pretty much the same. If they ever make a reappearance in equestria a similar situation as the dragon pony hybrid foals will be in, I mean changelings were revealed as a new race of ponies during the wedding fiasco. They just had a good time hiding their prescience. They had to as frankly it's this kind of situation. Which makes it a valid threat to the foals. I'm drawing this from not only canon but in some cases real life as well. Also I hate to point this out but discord is not a dragon but a being I think is related to a chimera to be honest. The only dragonic trait I saw in him is the two horns bit. Everything else was from different lifeforms. Discord does have some pony DNA that much is certain so him not being able to have kids with celestia is kinda wrong.
6071361 Some things I'll have to figure out as I go, since it's not just my story where Spike and Rarity were unable to have foals the natural way. You know the story Sweet as Lavender?
It's another Sparity story, and the foal - Lavender - was conceived through Zecora's help.
somewhat like mine.
6071422 I actually have it on my favorites list. I just wish the author wrote how spike and rarity got together. That would have helped with the events leading to Lavender's creation.
6071091
Hmm...didn't think that the ship would be DisLestia, but I love it anyway. Seems to make sense that an immortal needs to have a relationship with another immortal. Also seems like you may have gone the way of Supernova as a mate for Luna (or at least an inspiration--the original Supernova is property of kilala7 on dA).
So Celestia and Discord are having the same issue that Spike and Rarity are going through? Nice idea, that way it isn't just a one-couple quirk. Also I appreciate that you gave us the other ships in the story; means that we can get into the story instead of exposition at the beginning.
6073241 I plan to read As Sweet as Lavender, just to see what the author's idea is, now that you've said it's just *Poof!* Together. This story does need some backstory as well, with Sparity, and I'll go ahead and add it as part of the next chapter. Just so it's not like, *Poof!* Rarity loves Spike
6075196 Of course, Kilala97's NextGen Nidra inspired my NextGen for Luna, including the fact that their father is a bat-pony from the Lunar Guard. I don't intend on making him exactly like Supernova, but similar in the way of species and partial coloring.
