“Now make sure that rope’s tighter than a bundled up knapsack, sugar!”
“I can’t feel my butt anymore,” Rainbow Blitz grumbled, yanking the rope taut around his midsection. Capricorn walked up, horn aglow in preparation of a spell. Rainbow Blitz flinched at the magic’s contact, his body developing an emerald glow as the aura spread over his features in a molasses-like viscosity. He inspected a hoof with skepticism, turning it over to see that the light had fully incased it.
“What the heck is this, Cappy?”
“Impact reduction spell,” He mumbled, eying his friend up and down to ensure that the spell had fully incased him. “Your dad’s already gonna throw a fit when he sees that bruise on your bum. May as well give you back to your parents as unbroken as possible. You ready?”
“No!” Blitz hissed, his eyes narrowed in a vicious glare. “I didn’t sign up for this, Cappy! You’re the one who said I have to-um, you know.”
“Are you saying you think she’s ugly?” Capricorn asked rhetorically, a smug eyebrow raised as he baited the rainbow colt.
“What?! No! She’s the prettiest filly in Ponyville; everypony knows that!”
“So you don’t wanna kiss her?”
“Yes- I mean no- I mean,” Blitz stammered, blushing furiously at his verbal slip. He took a deep breath, calming his speech and flush before looking his grinning friend in the eyes. “I don’t think I’m ready is all.”
“Sure you are! You just don’t know it yet.” Capricorn took a few steps back, cupping a hoof to his mouth to amplify his hollering. “He’s all set Golden Delicious! Do your stuff!”
“Maybe this isn’t the be-YEEEEEEOOOOW!” Rainbow Blitz howled, the rope squeezing the air from his lungs. Golden Delicious swung the rope fervently, forming a circular rainbow at the fiber’s end as she increased its velocity. Rainbow Blitz attempted to stretch his wings out from their folds. To his horror, the inner wing remained pinned to his side, the force pressuring it stronger than the specified muscles used to unfold it. Blitz’s vocal pleas to stop were lost among the air resistance. Golden Delicious reached max velocity, signaling to Capricorn with a wave of her immaculate hoof; the alicorn colt fired a green blast from his horn, singeing the rope thin. Rainbow Blitz squeezed his eyes shut, tears brought forth from the wind and his imposing fate.
*Snap*
Golden Delicious and Capricorn watched in stunned silence as the rainbow colt catapulted through the orchard, taking several branches with him. Apple leaves that had scattered throughout the air hovered gently down the ground, making soft rustling sounds in an otherwise completely silent scene. Golden Delicious shifted her eyes to her side, silently demanding an explanation from her winged friend. Capricorn hopped gracefully onto a single hoof, spinning around several times until his inner wing found itself pinned into its folds.
“Oh….”
Soarin’ pumped his wings against the air currents, sweat dripping off him as testimony to his strained efforts. The rings under his eyes formed deeper creases as several worst case scenarios played through his panicked mind, each ending disastrously for his little son. Soarin’s terror-filled fantasies were interrupted by a strong force colliding into him from above, sending him sprawling into a massive cloud bank. Eyes closed, he groaned painfully, flipping onto his back and pressing down onto the cumulus with his forehooves. He rose halfway before realizing somepony was pinning his wings down with their hooves. Soarin’ squinted his eyes open, meeting the amused gaze of his colorful wife. Rainbow Dash leaned forward, giving him a surprisingly gentle kiss despite the force she was exerting on his wings. She drew back, meeting his angry look with one of nostalgia and contentment.
“Just like our fifth date. Good times, good times,” She cooed, blushing slightly as old memories washed through her mind. Soarin’ growled deeply, his eyebrows narrowed and his muzzle scrunched into an angry scowl.
“Get off, Dashie! I have to find Blitzy while I still have the chance!”
Rainbow Dash let her smile fade and raised a quizzical eyebrow. “Do you even know where he is?”
Soarin’s features drooped miserably and he shook his head slowly. His deep green eyes glistened with fresh tears. “No, I got a bad feeling about an hour ago and I haven’t felt anything since. I’m scared, Dashie. What if he-“
Rainbow Dash silenced him, a blue hoof pressed against his lighter toned muzzle. “Hey now, don’t talk like that. He’ll be fine. Now if only we knew how to find him.”
Fluttershy hovered precariously into the airspace, out of breath from her attempt to catch up to the two athletes. She flopped onto the cloud, gasping for precious air to relieve the burning in her wings. “I –gasp- have an –gasp- idea –gasp-.”
Both Wonderbolts turned their attention to the animal caretaker, giving her reasonable time to recover from her physical endeavors. Fluttershy wiped the sweat from her brow and regained her composure. “Why don’t you two just make an appearance in town? You’ll draw quite a lot of attention, and that way you can let him find you.”
“Uhhh, Fluttershy,” Dash drawled, her uncertainties clear in her tone, “Wouldn’t that just make it harder to find him? I mean he’s doing something he knows he could get in trouble for. Seems to me like that’d just show him where to avoid.”
“You’re wrong, Rainbow Dash,” Fluttershy shook her head, her tone becoming stern, “That colt is starved for attention from you two! I bet the only reason he agreed to go along with my son was so that he could learn something so amazing Spitfire would have no choice but to let him into the practices. The poor thing is willing to put himself into harm’s way just to get some attention, so why wouldn’t he come flying to you?”
Rainbow Dash and Soarin’ exchanged mutual guilty looks, the latter more pained given his previous knowledge of the matter.
“Uuuuuuuuhg my leg! That was reduced impact?”
Rainbow Blitz leaned back against the hard fibers of an apple tree, a path of destruction pointing directly to him. He rubbed a sore spot on one of his hind legs, grimly impressed by the welt that had developed. Capricorn’s protective spell had worked, but as Rainbow Blitz discovered first hoof, that didn’t make the experience painless in the slightest. To his chagrin, the spell had reached its maximum capacity for abuse near the end of his volley, leaving him completely unprotected for the final impact. He fidgeted with his hooves, mentally berating himself for leaving physical evidence that his father could use to justify further overprotection. Rainbow Blitz’s panicked thoughts were interrupted by Golden Delicious’ honeyed voice, her tone showing exaggerated concern.
“Oh my stars!” She cried, running up to him, her gait extraordinarily fast despite her precision to avoid scuffing her hooves. Golden Delicious stopped just short of him, reaching out a delicate hoof as she prodded different parts of his body. She exhaled a large sigh of relief, “Oh sugar, thank Celestia that little Cappy’s magic trick worked. Ain’t nothin’ worse than a welt and a few scrapes.”
“Yeah, back to the drawing board,” He said, pulling himself up from his slumped position. Golden Delicious jumped forward in a cat-like pounce, pinning him against the bark, their muzzles only an inch apart.
“Now hold on, Rainbow Blitz,” She smiled warmly, “We ain’t done here.”
His cheeks flushed fully and his voice cracked as he spoke. “B-but I didn’t do the Sonic Rainboom!”
“Ah believe the agreement was for me ta help you. There was nothin’ Ah said about ya’ll succeedin’,” She said softly, her own cheeks tinted with blush. “Now pucker up, sugarcube. Ah’m claimin’ my prize.”
Soarin’ came to a hault in midair, his ears perked and eyes shrunk to pinpricks. Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy spread out their wings, braking quickly to avoid collision with the stunned stallion. Dash frowned and tapped her husband with an impatient hoof.
“What’s the deal, Soarin’?”
“He’s at Sweet Apple Acres!” He bellowed, diving into a quick beeline for the apple orchard. Rainbow Dash grabbed Fluttershy by the hoof, dragging her slower friend at a high velocity to catch up with the panicked father.
Sawesome Auce
This is gunna be good 'grabs popcorn'
not bad but i wish it was longer
Oh, Dear Lawd, Goldie, why?
How the heck does Soarin know where he is? Spidey sense?
I sense an awkward scene in the next chapter.

I've been busy with school. I was lucky to churn this much out last night.
So the question remains, will Rainbow and Soarin be more pissed about the Rainboom attempt or about him making out with Golden Delicious?
Thanks for the update, great as always!
Golden Delicious is my favorite so far
she a little bit like rarity but not as stuck up as her
Yessss
Huh, Dad anti-dating senses work on sons too, eh?

Figured something was gonna come out of you over the weekend... can't wait until the break when you actually have time to write.
Good chapter, if a little.... lackluster. Definitely seems more like a section that would have worked better inside a longer chapter. You can take a little bit more time, no need to rush.
Very enjoyable, but your portrayal of the Adults wasn't as great this time because of a lack of inner thoughts. You had a great moment with Dash and Soarin that you really could have pulled a moment to get a greater understanding on where they stood with each other and their kid.... but you didn't and it ended up being just a little flat. I feel as if your pushing this fic too fast, its not nearly as enjoyable as the last one.... actually.... the issue is that it moves to quickly through events that it doesn't give a chance for the characters to really grow. Just short spurt of an adventure followed by another short spurt and it leaves things.... hanging. Slow down and think things through a bit better is my advice.
It's a great story, but not only have you done better, but you could do a lot better.

Blitz just turned his swag on weknowmemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/shit-just-got-real.jpg

blitzs shall now snap at his redicously over protective farther

I love it!

From what I've planned, none of the others use their parents against each other, though that type of manipulation is pretty common among family households.
The Rainbow Blitz/Golden Delicious pairing is so adorable.
You should do a fic of them being a couple of years older and going on a date. I would definitely read that!
And their going to get stopped right at the last moment by Soarin coming in too fast and landing in
a heap next to Rainbow Blitz!!
After a couple of weeks I finally got down to reading your famous sequel to 'A Day with Dad'. A cute story & characters, likeable personality as well having the adults to act silly for comic relief in this
KidEveryone-rated story. I shall be looking forward to your next update on the story.Now, seeing what children you have so far out of the Mane6, I can't wait to see the all the cast and wonder who are their parents the Mane6 settled with (assuming its not OC and ignoring random genetic complications like The Cake family). My money is that Big Mac marries someone like Bonbon, and not one of the Mane6. Might as well play the speculation game
Rainbow Dash&Soarin -> Rainbow Blitz; innocent, prankster, and oblivious. Quite the character indeed
Fluttershy&Blueblood ->Capricorn, funny little genius that have me wonder if Twilight would love to have him as son. Given how his name is from astrology, much like a cutie mark related to a certain stallion, I wouldn't be surprised that the father has been 'reformed' in a sense and has fallen for the 'beautiful maiden in the forest' deal. And also being witty in the process that Capricorn would seemed to picked up on.
Applejack&Carmel -> Golden Delicious, cute little filly that I can't imagine somepony had a certain influence on her character. Don't know why I bother greying out the father but figured might as well for the fun of speculations.
Pinkie Pie&Thunderlane? -> Surprise, Can't wait to see how this 'Demon in a Pony's Skin' would come into play in this story. The father has to be a pegasus, as how Surprise inherits her mothers love for pranks, this stallion has the attitude that fits the child for being a "demon".
Twilight Sparkle&Time Turner(not Doctor Who!) -> Gizmo, apparently a mechanical genius that puts Capricorn solutions to shame, seeing your cover art that is. Observing how this Gizmo likes to experiment on things, like the a certain unicorn mare, and how he is name on a piece of a clog, its not hard to imagine who the father would be in this case and I would sincerely hope its not the fandom name as people would like to call him by (would be a crossover story if that were to be the case)
Rarity&???? -> A yet to be named filly who , by the look of the art, would be the polar opposite of Rarity (such as having the messy mane). Seeing that the filly is a Earth Pony, it would be hard to imagine who would the father would be, if he is a Earth Pony himself for it being as there is short list of such ponies. My thoughts are either Hoity Toity or Braeburn.

It would seem that Applejack had a poor choice of a babysitter when dealing leaving Golden Delicious to do farm work, now we have to thank (at least that's what I would hope to thank) a certain dress designer for implanting Applejack's daughter to be a 'Mastermind of words & manipulation'.......and learn the wonders and joy with spas and hoofcure :D.
And something for the lolz.
