“…So what do you want to do?”
“…I don’t know.”
“Perhaps we could contact Soarin? Or Princess Celestia?”
“…I don’t know.”
“This isn’t something we can keep secret, you know. This is a matter of great importance.”
“………”
“Aren’t you going to say something?”
“…It’s just so weird…he’s a pegasus, and so am I. I don’t understand how the two of us could produce an alicorn.”
“Try to mention that as little as possible. I don’t want to be reminded of something as horrible as adultery. It is weird, though.”
“And something else. If it’s an alicorn, why didn’t it have wings when it was born?”
“That’s beyond me. The internet knows plenty about that, so I should go check later.”
“Check now.”
“Why are you so anxious, Rainbow?”
“Alicorns are tied to royalty. None have ever been born outside of the Royal Family. Do you think there’s some importance to this?”
Rainbow Dash and her husband, Thunder Flash, stood in their room. There was an immense disturbance in their balance, because Rainbow had given birth to an alicorn. He was born, seemingly, as a unicorn, but grew wings after a short time.
“Okay. I’ll go check. Are you sure you’re okay?”
After a short period of silence, Rainbow looked away.
…………………………………
Flash sat down in the living room in front of his laptop. He put his hoof on the latch to open it up, and came back with a fresh hoof-full of slobber.
“Ick…I bet that’s the foal’s fault.”
In disgust, Flash shook his hoof a couple times to rid it of the slime. Then he opened his laptop and fired up Google.
He searched up “How to care for an Alicorn”. The screen loaded for a little bit, and a list of results showed up. At the top, it read, “Showing results for: How to care for a Unicorn”
Flash groaned in exasperation. “Are you kidding me? No one on the whole internet knows how to raise a dumb Alicorn?”
However, he knew deep down that an Alicorn hasn’t had to be cared for as a foal for thousands of years. Rainbow Dash’s face could be in the history books for two things now: Performing the very first Sonic Rainboom and being the first mother of an Alicorn in recorded Equestrian history.
On the subject of Sonic Rainbooms, his son, Blazing Sun, would be in the history books for the second Sonic Rainboom. And he’s only nine years old.
Rainbow Dash limped into the room. When their alicorn foal had been born, Rainbow had to get some stitches applied, so that explains the limping.
“How’d it go?”
“Nothing. There is absolutely nothing about raising an alicorn.” Flash sighed.
“Well what do you expect? Our…er…MY foal is the first alicorn born in millennia.”
“Millennia. That’s a pretty big word for you, Dash.” Flash joked.
“…Hey, shut up!”
Flash hesitated. “Well, the first pony we should call is Soarin. He might have some answers.”
Flash started to get up to grab the phone, but Rainbow stopped him.
“I’ll go visit him personally. I bet he’ll enjoy my company.”
Flash shrugged. “I guess that’s a good idea.”
“By the way, where is our-…I’m sorry…MY foal?” Rainbow asked.
Flash looked up at her. “Are you kidding me?”
“I’m sorry! It’s just that I’m so used to-…never mind.”
Flash was still looking at her. “He’s in Blaze’s room. What they’re doing in there is beyond me.”
Rainbow shrugged. “Whatever; I’m going to go visit Soarin.”
“Alright, have fun.” Flash said as Rainbow walked toward the door. “But not too much fun!”
Rainbow scoffed. “Do you honestly think I’ll be able to do THAT again, what with all the stitches I have?”
“I was just joking. See you later!”
………………………………….
Rainbow Dash touched down in front of Soarin’s house, and took a deep breath. After working up some courage, she knocked on the door.
A couple minutes passed, and there was no answer. Rainbow was just about to leave when the door suddenly opened, revealing Soarin.
“Rainbow Dash! I didn’t expect to see you here! How’s the foal?”
Rainbow hesitated. “The foal is what I’m here to ask you about, Soarin.”
Soarin looked surprised. “Well, what is it?”
“Me and Flash found out that it’s an alicorn. For some reason, it didn’t have wings when it was born, and the doctor didn’t pick up on anything strange.”
Soarin was genuinely taken back. “……You do realize alicorns are royal, right?”
“Yeah, I think I noticed that. Why?”
“You need to make sure no one knows about it. Who already knows?”
Rainbow stopped to think for a moment. “Just you, me, Flash, and my kids. That’s all.”
“Good, because if word were to spill out, your-…um…OUR foal would be in great danger.”
Rainbow chuckled.
“What?”
“Nothing…it’s not important.” She said as she laughed a little more.
“Anyway, there are bad ponies out there who crave power. And your-…I’m sorry…OUR foal is the prime target for such a thing.”
Rainbow burst out laughing.
Soarin started to laugh as well. “S…stop! It’s contagious! What is so funny?”
Rainbow wiped a tear from her eye. “It’s just the whole ‘your-…I mean our’ thing. That’s the fourth time I’ve heard it today.”
“It seems the foals from Flash and the foal from me is getting pretty confusing.” Soarin observed.
“Anyway, why would my-…CRAP! Why would OUR foal be such a prime target?”
“It’s just that alicorns have immense power. That of a pegasus and a unicorn. If someone bad got their hooves on it, they could raise it badly. For evil.”
“I just always thought that our foal was royalty somehow. Haven’t you noticed that the only alicorns in recorded history were part of the royal family? It’s just strange that two average pegasi could-”
“But we’re not average pegasi.” Soarin interrupted. “Think about it. You’re the record-holder of the first Sonic Rainboom. The fastest speeds ever recorded by a living pony. I’m a very famous and talented pegasus from the Wonderbolts. And so are you! How many ponies can you list that don’t know our names?”
Rainbow was silent for a second, processing what Soarin had just said. “What do you mean by this?”
Soarin put a hoof on Rainbow’s shoulder. “I think the two of us possess immense power. Enough to create an alicorn.”
Rainbow’s face was blank. Immense power…seriously? What could this mean?
“I should contact Princess Celestia.” Rainbow suggested.

Author Notes:
What’s up everypony? I’m back after such a (short/long) time! Ideas just keep pouring in like ice water on a hot summer afternoon, so updates might be frequent!
By the way, I apologize for the oversized image. Most of them are going to be like that. :l
Yay now time to fav
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but this chapter stunk something fierce. May have been that feeling of repetitiveness I was getting, but I'm not sure at the moment.

Great to see you back though

I know.
I originally intended on doing three stories to make it a trilogy, but I suddenly got a huge idea. I had to make it a fourth sequel, because it was getting way off topic from the plot of the third story. I should be done after this, though!

I like the way you told me that. When some people don't like my stories, they just insult me. I understand if you don't like it, not everyone has to.

I've always wondered: how did you get that quote box from the story?
1432263 I think it's a script thingy I found somewhere, I don't know where though, or you could just use these [quote ] [/quote ] Taknig away the spaces at the ends of course

If I'm going to crap on a fic I'll do it with dignity.

For some reason, most of my stories start with more dislikes than likes.
But after a while, the likes slooowly start to surpass the dislikes.

Soarin isn't even looking after his alicorn and rainbow is acting like she's happy to have soarin. But then again as they say it was a mistake and flash and rainbow and living together but if rainbow didn't have stitchers would she of does it again with soarin as from the joke "have fun but not to much fun" plus soarin saying that " we are both skilful and powerful ponys from the wonderbolts." Rainbow to mee seems happy to have soarin:( pour flash the pain you must be going thought with rainbow cheating on you and looking after the alicorn that isn't yours :( I am looking forward to more keep it up. And FYI I will always be commenting as I love to share my appinions

The two was from the whole comment in general, the fact that you already wanted more chapters.
btw I play Minecraft on an HP computer running Windows 7. I feel blessed that the game runs so well!
arh yes, well the big comment above is what i'm wondering so far. as i see rainbow likes soarin and left flash in pain
also to have an alicorn is with soarin and rainbow. the element should of told her something being loyalty. only to wonder how flash must be feeling and to also take it quite well with soarin is beyond me. so many question (banging me head on desk again, wondering what going to happen)
