Oh Cadance, you devious mare. Love it, really. I can't wait till the next chapter :twilightsmile:

You, i demand the next chapter, NOW:twilightangry2:

Thank you kindly sir, it has captured my attention. i love me some twi shipping. :twilightsmile:

A second soarinlight paring :yay: (that i know of anyway)

Well, here is the second chapter, and a day early. :twilightsmile:

I think this Chapter turned out good, but I think I might some of it. I hope you all enjoy.

Like always feedback is welcome.

Now that she thinks about it, he mentioned it after she told him about her brother and how she is close to him. thought

Other than that, this is quite good.

“I don’t think that is the saying,” the Wonderbolt chuckled. “So Soarin’, why don’t you tell me about, Twilight.” Considering that Soarin and Spitfire are both Wonderbolts, that is about as descriptive as saying "the pony chuckled."

the stallions said as images of the lavender mare began to flood his mind. stallion

This might be Twilight’s first experience dating, but she had some knowledge on the subject. Is that sentence supposed to be italicized?

Now, she just wants to see him again... wanted

Yes darling, that is the fastest way for a respectfully unicorn to ruin their reputation, respectable


I love misunderstandings like this, they're the best kind of awkward.

she levitated two plates a glass to her hungry
I think there's an and missing :raritywink:
Also, awesome chapter :rainbowkiss:

Here is chapter three, unfortunately I am going to going on vacation in a few days and I am not sure when I can update again. I am going to try to make sure the next update is a big one.

If anyone is interesting in editing, that would be awesome or if you would like to help me plan some of my story just pm me. It would be greatly appreciated. :twilightsmile::twilightsheepish:

That's more like it, lets just hope the gala'll be better than the previous one:twilightsheepish:
Also, we need a Soarin emoticon

867902

There should be a Soarin' emoticon, and don't worry the gala will be interesting.

The cover art will give a little indication on what is going to happen.

You sir have pleased me. i will be expecting the next chapter too be just as good. :trixieshiftright:

873552

I'm glad you enjoyed it, I hope to live up to your expectations. :twilightsheepish:

oh cadence, Trollestia's taught you well! :trollestia:

I'm sorry this took some time to come out.

I would like to hear your opinion's on the story so far. Any things you think needs to be changed and fixed.

For anyone who hasn't read Parenthood, the whole mother/son think between Celestia and Soarin' might seem a little sudden.

I hope you enjoy. :twilightsheepish:

I was going to go finish one of my own stories, but then I saw this and got completely distracted :twilightblush:

919725 I'm loving this story so far, and personally, I think the whole "Celestia as a mom" thing fits nicely :pinkiesmile:

919823

Thanks, I am glad you are enjoying the story.

I always see Celestia as the motherly type. One of the main plot lines of the story, aside from the romance, is Soarin' discovering the meaning of family, so the interaction between Celestia and Soarin' will be important.

I really like your story: Magic of a Rainbow, keep up the good work.

Honestly, I can't wait to read about that dinner. I think Soarin's gonna get the third degree from Shiny:twilightoops:

921027 Thanks for liking one of my stories, but this is way better than that :rainbowkiss:

922117

Unfortunately for Soarin', Shiny is not going to be his biggest problem. But I am going to say that he will not be so fond of the colt swooning over his sister.

922343

I don't know about, but I am glad you enjoy my writing.
Best of luck on your story.

The gala is here. I hope you all enjoy. :twilightsmile:

960181 that cliff hanger physically hurt me:fluttercry:

960300

Don't fret, I'll try to get the next chapter out ASAP. :trollestia:

Cadence, intervene before this gets really ugly. Otherwise, this will not end well.

960352

Unfortunately Cadence is not going to be there to save Soarin', but somepony will save him from Crescent's anger.

960365
I'll leave that to my imagination.

Though if Parenthood is any indication, Crescent will EVENTUALLY warm up to Soarin'. I stress the word 'eventually' due to what will most likely happen next as well as the cover art from the story.(Yes, I looked closely enough to see his face is one of disapproval)

961109

He will, but not before giving Soarin' a ton on grief.

I'm glad you noticed that detail about the cover art.

I'm hoping that Crescent's issue is "overprotective father," rather than "racist bigot," like those other two punks (who are probably on their way to the moon). But we shall see. :duck:

kick to the nuts in 3 2 1...........

*le gasp* cliffhanger!

Alas, that is revenge for me for I do it on my chapters as well!

This can't be good.
Loved the chapter, though I can't wait to see what happens next

Just wanted to wish some luck. You've got a great start, and I hope my notes helped. Never give up buddy *brohoof*

973031

They were really helpful. I hope to always to improve. *brohoof*

hopefully crescent can have some sense talked into him by either his daughter or his wife

The end of 'Unexpected Love'.

All the stories in this series will be posted here, under the story Two Lives Becoming One, so the next chapter posted will be chapter 1 of the next story.

So, stay tunes for 'Love and Family'. (The synopsis in the story description).

The amazing art was made by: Twilove.

978758 how long will for love and family be

978867

Not too long, I have pretty much all planned it is just writing it.

*goes on trip, comes back today* ill just check my email...11 updates... :twilightsmile:

hey what happened to that bigot couples from the last chapter?

980242>>980578

I forgot about those ponies. I added a little section at the end with one of them confronting Celestia about it.


Also I added a small plot detail with Twilight's mom. It will be important for the rest of the story.

To the moon!!:trollestia:

Lol at the bigot Unicorns though. Bunch a pricks...

Loved the story from beginning to end and I'm sure the next part will be even better!:yay::yay::yay:

982511

I hope to live up to your expectations. The first chapter of the next part is in the works and it should be done by the end of the weekend.

"Please stand up, I'm sending you to the moon," Celestia said trying to calm him down.

That error. I think you might want to fix it.
