After The War - Luna Aeternal

District 7

Luna Aeternal
Human Capital
District 7

Twilight jumped off the mag-lev vehicle and hugged the ground. The sweet, sweet solid ground. Next to her Aegis Armor was hard pressed not to do the same. Matheus just shook his head, ponies and their weird customs. The station was much like the station back in District 1, except this one was build on the side of a cavern wall. Their mag-lev had first flow inside, before being mechanically moved to the station itself. However, just as they were about to leave the station they were stopped by a group of security officers.

"Excuse me, but I need to scan you all. Possible magical contamination is not allowed on the district." Twilight raised her eyebrow at this, but remained silent.

"They were scanned at District 1 already. Besides, if they would have magical weaponry on them, I would have died to radiation already." Matheus said taking position between the security and ponies.

"Orders are orders, Sir. I understand what you say, but I do not wish that should something happen, it would happen because I didn't do my duty." Officer replied to Matheus, looking apologetic.

"It is OK, I do not mind. They are just doing their duty, right?" Twilight said, hoping to defuse the situation.

"Thank you for your understanding. Please, this way. This will only take few minutes." They were taken to a side room, with smaller room next to it. Trough a class they could see a strange machine inside the smaller room.

"Please step inside the scanner and we will take care of it all."

"Alright, I..." Twilight started to move towards the door, before being stopped by Aegis Armor.

"I object to this, Miss Sparkle. At least let me do this first, just to make sure it's safe." He said with determined face.

"Are you suggesting we would do something to an emissary of a foreign nation?" one the officers said with clear irritation.

"What I am suggesting that this a machine we have never seen before and which function is unknown to us beyond what you claim. I am not taking chances here. I was told to protect Miss Sparkle, and by Goddesses that is what I'm going to do." Aegis Armor replied with his own irritation. Two seemed to try to stare each other down, until Matheus stood between them.

"Alright, settle down, it's safe. How about this, I take the scan first, then you and finally Miss Sparkle? That way you can see it's safe."

"That sounds fine!" Twilight said before Aegis Armor could object, hoping that the other would get the hint. She didn't want any sort of incident while they were there. Matheus nodded and walked inside the room. He then moved inside the machine. On the screens of the first room, his skeleton could be seen. Twilight couldn't help but be curious, as it was the first time she could see something like this.

"Alright, you OK there?" The security officer from earlier said to a mic.

"Everything is OK here." Came Matheus reply trough the speakers.

"Begin scan. Scanning for anomalies." Screen turned into green color "Clean. Scanning for magical energies" Screen turned to red this time. "Clean. Scanning for BNC traces." Screen turned to blue. "Clean. All scans show clean, you're OK to leave. Next one, please." Aegis Armor walked inside the machine this time, as Matheus walked back to the room with Twilight and security officers. Aegis Armors skeleton appeared on the screen.

"Can you hear us?"

"Yes."

"Good. Begin scan. Scanning for anomalies." Screen turned into green color "Clean. Scanning for magical energies" Screen turned to red this time, but his armor was highlighted with faint blue glow. "Hmm, your armor gives of slight magical radiation. Please stay put while we measure it." A counter appeared on the screen, with numbers chancing on it, before staying on 12-15 range. "Minimal amount, I guess it's to keep it clean? Shouldn't be harmful. Background radiation used to be worse than that. Alright, next BNC scan." Screen turned to blue. "Clean. Alright, you may return here. Everything seems okay."

Then it was Twilights turn. She walked inside the room and the machine. Inside the machine there were two pieces that run for whole length of the machine.

"Can you hear us?" A voice came through a speaker.

"Yes,"

"Begin scan. Scanning for anomalies." Two tubes moved up and down, bathing her in green light. "Clean. Scanning for magical energies" This time she was bathed in red light. "Detecting magical energies around the horn. Seems non-threatening, but I must ask you to keep use of magic to minimum. Scanning for BNC traces." Then it was blue. "Clean, you're OK to leave." Twilight stood out of the machine and returned to the room. Officers looked relieved that there was nothing major to worry about. "Alright, I we need to inform the command of our scans, but you are clean to leave, for now." The officer in charge gave a quick salute before leaving for other duties. Rest of the squad took them to the doors of the station.

"Well, now that we got that out of the way, I guess..." Something bleeped in his pocket and he took out his PDA. She scowled upon reading it. "Looks like The First Citizen and Princess have decided to retire for a lunch." He pressed few buttons on the machine. After a while machine bleeped again. "Alright, if you wish we may return to District 1 or we can have a lunch here. I got permissions from both The First Citizen and Princess Luna."

Twilight gave thought to this. On the other hoof, she was supposed to accompany Princess. On the other hoof, she got a permission to leave and she was interested in seeing the district.

"Let's have a lunch here, perhaps you can recommend a good place?" Twilight decided. This was an opportunity she couldn't pass up.

"Hmm, Terra's Cuisine is one the best, but also very expensive. Then again, we are paying this visit from the states pocket, so money isn't a problem." That was one advantage of doing a state visit. Near unlimited money to spend on souvenirs. Rarity would have been overjoyed. They took a smaller mag-lev vehicle, with Matheus explaining that it was restricted to 40 km/h speeds and would only follow certain lanes unless overridden by the security. Indeed, the trip was much more smooth and less gut wrenching than the one earlier. Upon arriving at the restaurant, Twilight took a moment to look at the design of the building. It had some familiar feeling on it, with white marble pillars and marble floor. It reminded her of ancient pony ruins. However, there was distinct 'human' feeling on the place. Upon entering and taking a seat, a waiter came up to them.

"Greetings, and welcome to Terra's Cuisine, the finest restaurant in all Luna Aeternal! What would you like to have?"

"I will take Spartans Nightmare, thank you, as well as a cup of coffee, please." Waiter clearly disapproved such choice, but remained silent and wrote the order down.

"And what would madam and... gentlestallion take?" Waiter guessed the term. Aegis Armor took a quick look around before realizing that the waiter referred to him.

"I do not know, there is so much and half of these foods have names I can't even pronounce!" Twilight said in near panic.

"Well, for the guard here I would say Spartans Nightmare. You aren't a real soldier if you can't stomach that stuff."

"May I remind sergeant that we are not a lowly pub and Spartans Nightmare is on the menu purely due to it's historic value to us?"

"And every year we take our recruits here and force feed them it! That stuff is horrible in taste, but Reich und Gott does it fill you with energy! So shut up. It's soldiers food and since you are the last place to serve it..." If a gaze could kill, Matheus would have dropped to the ground at this point.

Aegis Armor gave a thought at this. "Very well, I will take one these... Spartans Nightmares. However, a glass of water is enough for me." If human soldiers ate it, surely a member of Royal Guard could stomach it?

"As for the lady, bring her Scandinavian Vegetable Surprise. My guess is she would like that."

"Well, at least you aren't a hopeless case." The waiter said with hint of sarcasm before turning to Twilight. "Would you like to have some wine with it? We have an excellent selection, grown from our own private garden." He asked Twilight.

"Oh, I am not very good with alcohol, not even with little amounts. I just take water too, thank you."

"Shall I repeat your order? Two Spartans Nightmares as well as Scandinavian Vegetable Surprise, one cup of coffee and two glasses of water. Shall I bring you one or two bottles of water?"

"Bring two, just in case." Matheus answered for ponies. The waiter nodded and excused himself, before leaving for the kitchen.

"This place is hold in high regard because they still do the food in 'old way', with frying and all, instead of using pre-made paste and molding that. Here it's real vegetables. Oh, and it's the only place that still has real wine, not synthetic variant." Matheus said with a pride.

"You mean you don't eat real vegetables? But yesterday you had them!" Twilight asked in a shock.

"Well, not really. What we usually have is a paste that tastes like one. Then they add extra vitamins and other stuff that our bodies need to sustain themselves. I said we are omnivores, right? Because we have distinct lack of meat we are forced to use other means.

However, for the big events like this state visit, they go for a extra mile and use real vegetables and fruits."

Food was brought to them, with Matheus eyeing the little piece of sugar he was given.

"Hey, waiter, what's wrong with my sugar?" Holding up what seemed like a half of standard sugar cube. Twilight was confused on why Matheus seemed to be skeptical.

"Sir, it is a new type of sugar from the surface. It is based on pony plant that we do not have here on the moon. It is quite... strong in taste." Matheus took the little piece and threw it in his mouth.

"Hah, I bet this doesn't-" Matheus didn't get further before spitting the half-melted sugar to his hand and taking long sip of his coffee. "REICH UND GOTT! That was way too sweet! What the heck?"

"Sir, it is made from a plant called a 'sugar cane'. It appear that it is how ponies make their sugar. It is, indeed, quite strong in taste. Also, I would like to ask you to refrain from cursing, there are minors in this restaurant." The waiter said clearly trying to hold back a smile. Twilight was confused, sugar didn't usually give that sort of reaction. Next to her, Aegis Armor had failed to hold back a smile and was currently trying to hold back a laugh.

"Umm, can I have sugar too? I want to know how strong it can be, because as far as I know a sugar cube of that size shouldn't be that bad?"

"Very well madam, I shall bring you one of our own for comparison." The waiter said with a bow. Pretty soon Twilight was presented with two sugar cubes, one white and one grey. She started to have her hunch on why humans considered the pony sugar 'too sweet'. She reached with her hoof and picket the white sugar cube. Humans were starring intensely at her. She confirmed her suspicions, the sugar didn't taste any different, except slightly bland that came with all human grown food. Then she picked the grey sugar cube. She barely tasted any sweetness in it.

"Let me guess... based on your description earlier, I would say your sugar is made artificially?"

"What, you mean there some sort of 'natural' way to make sugar?" Matheus said with hint of skepticism in his voice. "But to answer your question, yes, sugar is made in the labs. How so?"

"Well, to me this sugar tastes normal and your sugar is pretty much bland as it can be. My guess is either the original recipe was bland or that it has degenerated over the time. On Equesteria, sugar is made from these plants, called sugar canes. They keep their natural taste. So your taste buds have come to be used to taste of artificial sugar and when presented with real sugar, it taste way too sweet for you." Twilight said, before realizing that what she said could be taken as an insult. She really hoped humans wouldn't take it so.

"Interesting... if we could mass produce this 'real' sugar, we could save thousands on packing and materials. It takes a lot less of this to make food than it takes our normal sugar..." The waiter mused. Good, they had not taken it as an insult. "Oh, excuse me, I shall leave you for you food. Sir, I will bring you a new sugar cube."

"That won't be needed, I don't usually drink my coffee with sugar. I just wondered why it was so white and small. Now we know." Matheus said with a wave of his hand. The waiter bowed and left them alone. Aegis Armor stared at his 'food', if you could call it. It looked closer like someone had somehow found a way to melt bunch of vegetables, then burned the following mix and then melted it again. Then solidified it and made it look like a steak. Aegis Armor took quick glance at Matheus who was cutting a piece for himself. Well, if he could eat it so could he too. He soon regretted it.

"Now I understand why it's called 'Nightmare'..." Aegis Armor muttered while taking a sip of water.

"Yup, but trust me, when you are running low on food supplies Spartans Nightmare is your best friend. It stays editable for a long time and in time of emergency, it can be used as a weapon too! My former sergeant once threw one those things at us, knocked me out for a whole cycle!" Matheus said way too happily.

Meanwhile Twilight was enjoying her own food, while watching two soldiers argue. Her choice had some carrots, potatoes, salad and apples on it with some strange sauce on top of them. Tasted good, however. Still, the idea that humans only knew artificial sugar, thinking it was real sugar was a disturbing thought. Once again, she couldn't help but pity humans. They had once controlled entire planet and had build a mighty civilization. Now, they were stuck on the moon, dancing on an edge of a sword, trying to prevent their own extinction. Twilight wondered what it would be if ponies would ever be in the same situation, a dying race driven from it's ancestral home? Could they hold out and try to rebuild their civilization, despite losing so much?

After the meal was eaten, Matheus took them to a market plaza, a large open area full of different shops, malls, small food stands, everything. It reminded Twilight of Manehattan, if buildings in Manehattan had towered in kilometers and had been build from steel and concrete and colored black. Which one again brought painful memories of losing her parents. Nobody had really truly understood death until The War, so far death was something you prepared for. With The War, death became something that came without a warning. One day you had husband. Next day you didn't. One day you had two proud parents. Next day you didn't. One day you had cheerful foal playing on the front lawn. Next day you didn't have anything. One moment ponies were alive, next they weren't.

it was one of the reasons why humans were sometimes referred as "Messengers of Death". When humans fought, they brought their message of death to all.

She still held small resentment towards humans for all the death they had caused.

Matheus toured them through the area, showing different kind of places, from small pubs to grand restaurants, to small family owned shops to shopping malls. After a while, Matheus took them to a shop that dealt in electronics.

"Greetings, how..." the man behind the counter started to say before seeing who had entered the shop. "Get out. I don't serve your kind."

"Oi, man, she is an official representative of Kingdom of Equesteria. Show some respect."

"I don't care if that thing was God himself, I want it out. Those damn things are nothing but trouble!"

"You want me to beat you up!? I can do that too!" Matheus answered in anger.

"You do that and I will call the security to fry your ass!" The man shouted once again, this time pulling a bat from under his counter. "Now get out of my store!"

"Come on, we can go somewhere else, it's nothing important...." Twilight said while trying to pull now agitated human out of the ship. Aegis Armor was pushing from the front. Fortunately, Matheus relented and walked out of the shop with them.

"What was his problem?" Aegis Armor muttered before catching himself. Twilight gave him a sharp glare.

"Despite the peace, there are still those who want nothing else than to wipe out every non-human out. Thankfully, they are in minority at the moment. Let's try some other shop." Next shop was much more friendly. The salesman decided to give them a discount, in exchange that he could get a picture of ponies. Twilight didn't really get the idea, but she agreed to it. She decided to buy a low-end PDA and a special solar powered charger for it. It had cost her quite a lot, almost all her money she had brought with himself, but with Matheus and Aegis Armor chipping in for a sign of goodwill, she managed to have enough for it.

Rest of the evening was spend watching humans going on their business, while Matheus explained how to use PDA and how to download archives. Some of the archives were behind restrictions, so Twilight left those out. Twilight noted that human daily life was not really that different from ponies. They went to work, went to shopping, met with their friends and so forth. Suddenly, an owner of the cafe they were sitting at the moment shouted.

"Hey look! It's the press conference! The First Citizen and Princess whatshername are on the TV!" Everyone in the cafe turned towards the large TV on the wall, while the owner increased the volume.

"Greetings fellow citizen." The First Citizen spoke. "It is our pleasure to appear before, alongside Princess Luna of Kingdom of Equesteria, to answer any questions you might have. Please note, that some questions will be ignored and we will not allow any hostilities on this room. This is a civilized meeting, not a network forum. Now, you may ask your questions." Several shouts and waving of hand followed, with eventually The First Citizen pointed towards one of the reporters.

"Princess Luna, there has been increased demand to increase the size of The Zone. With the territories ceded to The Human Refuge, why was not the entire area turned into The Zone?" Twilight winced. It was exactly a type of question both sides wanted to avoid.

"Creating and increasing the size of The Zone is not an easy task. A great care must be taken to make sure that The Zone can maintain itself without outside interference. Trying to rush the process can cause the entire Zone to collapse. That is something we wish to avoid. We have steadily grown The Zone these past years, however, we are reaching a point where growth is too dangerous. That is why we are looking into alternative means. Next question, please."

"The First Citizen, there are rumors that Kingdom of Equestria wishes to place generals Ravensaw, Tarnheiser, Golgata and numerous others on trial for war crimes. Is this true?" What, did the press actively seek something to cause a war?

"So far Kingdom of Equestria has not made any demands for mentioned people. They have expressed interest in placing war criminals on trial, however they have not pursued the matter. Next question."

"Princess Luna, you are co-ruler of Kingdom of Equestria. However, both of you claim a title of princess. Why is that?"

"This is something that precedes us. In the law of Equestria, 'a queen' is the consort of 'a king'. As there is no king, there can be no queen. That is why our title is princess. Next question, please"

"Princess Luna, will Kingdom of Equestria continue it's attempts to push back Diamond Dog Protectorate from it's new territories?"

"Those territories are originally part of Equestria and were never given to Diamond Dog Protectorate. We are also committed to solving this situation through diplomatic means. Ambassador Fahrenheit has been helpful in this matter and we expect that the solution can be found soon. Next question, please."

This went on for a two hours, with both of the answering questions presented to them. Aegis Armor was growing bored when a new shout was heard.

"Laila! WATCH OUT!"

*THUMP*

"Whoa!" Aegis Armor shouted as the chair was suddenly taken from under him. Twilight and Matheus rose up to see what happened. On the ground, Aegis Armor was laying down, trying to get his bearings. A short distance away, a human girl was holding her head. It didn't take long for two of them to understand what had happened, especially when a group of kids came running for them.

"We are really sorry sir! Please don't punish her, we were just playing!" Apparent leader of the group spoke in rapid speed.

"It's okay, just... look where you are going next time." Aegis Armor muttered as he rose to his hooves. Matheus just shook his head at the display.

"Shouldn't you kids be at the school at this time?" He asked the children.

"Huh? It's past 7:00! Schools over." The leader said with confusion. Matheus looked in to his watch and gave a whistle.

"Wow, it really is. It's going to be at least 21:00 before we are back at District 1. Alright, let's head back then." Twilight nodded and stood up, tucking her new PDA in her saddlebag. She doubted that she would have much sleep this night, there was so much history to be learn. It was a amazing what humans had accomplished. Empires that controlled entire continents before they even figured out trains. Their hazardous race to space. They defiance in front forces of nature, refusing to bow down to nature. How they turned their enemies and competitors into allies and pets. Human history was a history how humanity defied the fate that set on it by the world and how they had decided to create their own fate.

Upon returning to the District 1, Matheus took Twilight and Aegis Armor to their quarters, where Princess Luna was already waiting for them.

"Hello my little ponies, did you have a nice day? I hope you didn't cause any troubles for sergeant."

"No milady. There we no problems." Matheus said with a salute.

"Yeah, it was really interesting day. Sergeant Smith was been really helpful. How did the talks go? "

"We reached limited agreement on some matters, yet some are still disputed. We will meet again and talk about them, but we are reached a start."

"Excuse me, but if you no longer require my services, I need to attend to my other duties." Matheus said while standing in attention.

"Oh, sorry, yes you may leave." Luna said. Matheus saluted and left the room.

"I need you to come with me for tomorrows meetings. We are going to discuss of possible war reparations and I need your calculation skills for it." Luna said to Twilight after Matheus had left.

"War reparations? Is that what they demand now?" Twilight asked. That was pushing it too far. They already demanded that The Zone was to be expanded, now war reparations for a war they started?

"It's what we demand and they have, at least for now, agreed." Luna said chastised. Twilight dropped her head in shame, she had assumed that humans were demanding something right away before asking for more details. "But, that is for tomorrow. Why don't you tell me about your day?" Luna said with a smile and Twilight started to tell her.

Luna Aeternal
District 20
WMD Containment Facility, "The Vault"

For private Kutzkov it was another boring day in The Vault. Who would want to steal these weapons, knowing that only use they could have was against massive asteroids or against enemies of mankind? Yet, here he was, standing, doing the most boring duty on all Luna Aeternal. All because he had gone and dated general Ravensaw daughter. That man was way too overprotective of her. Besides, how cliche was getting such duty for such reasons? Life wasn't fair. Suddenly, the door opened.

"General Tarnheiser!" He saluted quickly, as did his comrade. "I wasn't informed that you would be visiting us!"

"At ease men. I'm here on surprise inspection. We got garbled message from the surface, no idea what it meant, but apparently something about WMDs. Could have been order to prepare them, could have been a warning."

"Everything is OK here Sir. All weapons are in de-activated state and nobody has tried to enter The Vault." General nodded at this.

"Good, then we just-" *BANG* one the guards dropped to floor, clutching his stomach. Kutzkov tried to pull his weapon to bear against the shooter. He wasn't fast enough and felt something pierce his armor and ripping his stomach open. He fell to the ground.

"Now, general, if you were so kind as to open the door for us." Came a voice.

"Was killing them necessary?" Generals voice answered.

"We do what we must. Do not concern yourself with their deaths. They will serve the greater purpose." Kutzkov tried to see the person who had shot him. One of generals bodyguards was holding a pistol. Kutzkov was losing consciousnesses rapidly.

"What about my family?"

"Already taken care of, no need to concern yourself general."

"Bastards..." Kutzkov tried to reach for his service pistol, only to get kicked in the stomach, in the same place as he had been shot. Pain shot through his body.

"Looks like this one still has some fight in him. Not for a long." Kutzkov felt his helmet being removed and a cold steel being pressed against his head.

One more shot, and Kutzkov fell into eternal sleep.

-----------------------------------------

Ponyville
Outskirts

"Thank you for taking me out Spike." Rarity said with a smile, giving a small snuggle to the dragon walking next to her. Spike just waved his hand, an old habit.

"No need to thank me Rarity, thank you for coming. It was really fun." He had originally planned to take Rarity to sightseeing, but had adjusted his plans to take her to a small club that still played classical music. Rarity had been overjoyed. Since losing her sight during The War, she had gained much more interest in music, mainly in classical. She didn't really care who's music it was, pony, human, griffin, as long as it was music. She particularly liked the ancient human songs, they had certain pompousness in them she liked. Contrast with pony music, that tended towards harmony and flow, human music sounded like it tried to announce 'Here we are, we'll never give up!'.

They had decided to walk back to Carousel Boutique, since the evening weather was clear, rare event but thankfully not as rare as before. Rainbow Dash had pushed every pegasus in Equesteria to pull double shifts recently, saying that "either they bring the weather back under control, or die trying". She had nearly exhausted herself until Fluttershy had berated her for nearly abandoning Scootaloo.

"Hmm, do you hear something Spike? Or see?" Rarity suddenly asked. Spike too a look around, He didn't hear anything, but he did see something. A small human transport was heading towards Everfree forest.

"That's strange. What business could humans have in Everfree forest at this hour?"

"I don't know, did it have any markings?"

"No, that's the weirdest part. Normally they have some sort of markings, but this one didn't."

"Please tell me it at least wasn't colored in that ugly black?" Rarity said, small flicker of hope in her voice.

"Well, can't say for sure, but it appears their color spectrum has gone from 'Black' to 'black and grey'". Rarity shook her head on this, humans and their horrible fashion sense. They walked for little while until they were stopped by sudden appearance of Royal Guards.

"Halt, did you see a human transport moving near here?"

"Trixie? Is that you?" Rarity said when she recognized the voice.

"Oh, hi Rarity, didn't recognize you at first. New glasses?" Now days Rarity wore black glasses to hide her eyes. Trixie could never understand how Rarity managed to maintain fashionable appearance, or even keep her shop running. She suspected that Rarity's sister and the dragon she was with had something to do with it.

"Yes, thank you. Spike helped me to pick them up. He is such a sweetie when he wants to be." Spike turned to red at this point.

"Ahem, anyway, as for humans you asked, we saw a transport flying towards Everfree forest. No markings at all." Spike said, hoping to prevent the teasing he could see was coming.

"That's them! All guards, move out. Find out where they went and why! Move it!" Trixie shouted. Guards dispersed to find the humans. Spike was left with Rarity (who was looking into wrong direction), confused for what was going. Twilight was going with Princess Luna to visit humans and now Trixie was hunting down suspicious human transport?

"I wonder what's going on..." Spike said.

"I hope that nothing wrong... There is too much that could go wrong at this time..." Rarity said with slight hint of fear. Spike put his hand on her shoulder, trying to reassure her.

"Well, I'm sure it's just a small things, perhaps they are doing an exercise? Come on, let's get you home."

Comments

[Scorched Earth]

Whelp, with this chapter, After The War - Luna Aeternal has officially surpassed it's "mother story" in length. Funny how this originally started as a"let's drop this one near the end" side-story.

[Carpinus Caroliniana]

Oh, no.

I think the war's restarted.

On a side note. You've really improved on your grammar and spelling. Keep it up!

[Guardian]

Wow, this has spun off into a series all it's own. Now you've really got me pumped up! But what I don't get is, why are they chasing that transport? Did something happen at the embassy?

And you've still got some minor grammer issues.

[Scorched Earth]

Remember when Trixie mentioned she wanted a team of guards to check up what humans were up to? And how one pony and one human had "mysteriously" disappeared?

Whelp, Trixie isn't stupid. She enlisted, survived The War and got promoted to rank of captain. That is something you don't get if you are stupid. She knows humans are up to something and when a transport without markings leaves the embassy in middle of the night, it's quite suspicious. You see what they find in next chapter.

Also, "grammer issues" You mean "grammar", I take it

[Guardian]

1219631 And I'm not that good at spelling.

ouch.

[Biker_Dash]

Just last night, I said I was looking forward to updates... and I log in today to find two new chapters! You, good Sir, have made my night! Thank you.

On a side note, will there be a side story on Rainbow Dash and her adoption of Scootaloo? This would be a story I would love to read.

[King of Peanut]

I just had a thought. They have never tasted bacon or at the very least real bacon. That would have been torture!
