Wrabbit, I have an idea if its not to much trouble. In the author's notes from now on could you have something like an expected delivery countdown for the pregnancies.
It doesn't have to be to the day but it would let us know how much time has passed without needing to add up all the timeline mentions in the main text.
Something like
Trixie: 20 weeks remain, Twilight: 40 weeks remain
IIRC Trixie got pregnant about 5 months before Twilight and its been about 1 month into Twilight's pregnancy. But I'm not sure which is why I'd like the countdown to keep things straight.
Oooh so that explains why Onyx likes Twi so much ^^
Glad to hear that Spits is getting some extra protection, cause Twi is kind of right, leveling an entire city might not do wonders for their relations
Sunny is just so damn cute

That sounds like a good idea. I second the request.
asdf this story is AMAZING.
Eagerly awaiting more, you have no idea.
Currently, you are by far my favorite author on this website.
Sooooo yeah Sunny totally just blew the cover of one of Equestria's best spies, also if Celestia were as evil as most of the fandom likes to portray her she would totally fake Spits being injured to trigger Twi's Hulk Rage and have her end the war before it even started.
Also Sunny is giving me diabetes...... goodness what is it going to be like when the others are born?
2867617
Thirded.
Good chapter. The dream walked the line of violence very well. I'll admit that I was hoping for some fun at the spa before they left.
Can't wait to see what happens next
D'aww he's such a cute little dragon that he gives em the sniffles.
its (no apostrophe)
on theEquestria, the most powerful nation in the world. So powerful they need send only a single soldier, which everyone shows up to see off.
Ahh a tressym, nice touch. It reminds me of an old D&D campaign where we "acquired" a tressym that stayed invisible as she followed our party and only appeared to the Half-orc barbarian to give him "advice" like "You have lots of money that the party gave you to pick up supplies; you should spend it all on fishsticks."
Good move toning down the death & destruction in the dream. This really isn't that kind of story and it would feel out of place here.
How old is Sunny at this point since she's already stringing together sentences (with bad grammar, but still )? I'm attributing it to Sunny's "unique" origins, but humans tend to use 1-2 words meaningfully at around 1 year old and start using simple sentences at around 2 years old, so I'm just curious.
2867508 2867617 2867975
That's not a bad idea. I think I'll do that as a sort of timestamp for now.
2867612
Yeah, it's more respect than like, really. Just that one act gave him so much, that he feels an obligation to her.
2867637
D'aawww... Thanks. That means a lot to me.
2867750
I may have to stop with the Saccharine drip on Sunny's IV. She almost made me d'aaawww when I wrote her.
2868578
Thanks for catching those. I'll edit them when it's not almost 2am. You should know that to a tressym, fishsticks are supplies. As for Sunny's age, she's just under a month old. You have to consider not only her origins, but also her lineage (especially Twilight's... contribution ). Being the bearer of an Element is a big enough influence, but Magic?
2868680
True, fishsticks are supplies to a tressym, but when you're expecting necessities like flint & tinder, new tents, rope, torches, etc. It can be surprising to see the half-orc show up carrying 200lbs of fishsticks. and the excuse "But the kitty (which none of us had seen at that point) told me to." with the most pitiful puppy-dog eyes you've ever seen.
Needless to say, Thock never got supply duty pawned off on him ever again.
Great!!
Also, "another dragon swooped in to breathe out a cold of freezing cold.", I think you meant "a cone of freezing cold.". D&D rules.
2868578
Horses (and other mammals) develop at far high rates than humans, walking within a few hours and being independent of their mother in a few months. I think that's what's happening here, even though as a sapient species ponies would probably have similar development rates to humans.
Although Pound and Pumpkin Cake were able to crawl, fly, use magic and say Pinkie's name shortly (as in a couple of weeks to a month) after they were born, so who knows?
If Spitfire does die, I think I would quite like to see Twilight level a city
Great update!
I see one problem though. In the beginning of the chapter twilight says she can level a small city and in the end part it changes to major city.
And the plot thickens, makes one wonder if the mane six will 'fuse' into a single form with all that foreshadowing....or that could just be my little cousin forcing me to watch dragonballZ marathon again.
Also: Sunny is not only mega-adorable-head-hugger, but a freaking boss. No espionage on her watch.
You just couldn't pass it up could you?
still waiting for the clop scene with the sea ponies and their mate
Loved the new chapter man, keep up the good work!
That was a great chapter I do hope it turns out well like I said in a previous comment I sure the Alicorn sister Twilight would not want to take the lives of six ponies just to become whole again The dream at the beginning has proven that fact I also agree that a counter for the other foals should be added just so we can keep everything straight Also if Spitfire should die you should fear what I would do, sure Twilight could destroy a major city, I will destroy a world because of that I'm sure she won't though because I have a feeling on who is protecting her from plain sight's group I believe she would not let anything happen to Spitfire just because she doesn't want to upset Plain Sight Because if she does she would never be forgiven. I WANT MOAR SOON! If that is alright with you

Those sea ponies are worse than a teenage boy, horny enough to boink mud if they could manage it.

True, horses can do a lot rather early on because they need to be able to avoid predators, but as a species becomes more intelligent they tend to spend longer in a state of adolescence, where the brain can most easily grow, learn, and create new connections.
Since FiM ponies are a sapient species, they would likely share this increased time in adolescence and develop at a slower pace. It's tough to use the Cake twins as a measurement since, being a Pinkie Pie episode, everything goes out the window in favor of comedic value. However, they are 1 month old and when pinkie isn't directly taking care of them (so things might be considered more normal) they act much more like babies using "baby talk" or cooing which tends to happen around 2-3 months, and not moving around too much on their own. They do have greater muscle control, which would likely be a carry-over from needing to be mobile within hours rather than months, but most of their "antics" don't really show up until Pinkie is left alone with them.
As for the magic, they take great care to warn early in the episode that baby unicorns "have strange magic surges that come and go", which is a Checkov's Gun if I've ever seen one . Since we've seen that more developed young unicorns have very little control over their magic, it seems likely that unicorn foals may have these spurts that are a subconscious reaction to intense stimuli. Being unable to reach something so the magic brings it closer; being trapped and unable to get out so the magic creates an entryway; wanting to be closer to a loved one so the magic brings you to them. These wouldn't be consciously controlled acts and could be considered a survival mechanism for the young foals.
Where flight is concerned, Pound's wings are, given his small size, proportionally fairly powerful and since ponies seem to have greater muscle control than human babies his flight isn't too uncommon, especially considering that living in cloud cities would be very dangerous if pegasus foals didn't gain the ability to fly early on. Most of it though I'm going to chalk up to giving the animators an excuse to have Pinkie suction cup her way along the ceiling and subsequently get dragged all over the shop; as before, all rules go out the window when comedy and Pinkie are involved.
Sorry about the wall of text, but I absolutely love logically dissecting stuff like this for worldbuilding
2871929
Hmm... Maybe Pinkie's presence destabilises the universe around her? She's not crazy—she merely drives the rest of the universe crazy.
I think the most likely answer is somewhere between the two extremes. Being a herbivorous, herd race that can't carry it's young easily (especially in reach of the mothers milk—humans can feed on the go, ponies can't), early ponies would have had to evolve so that foals could be active quicker in order to avoid predators (we simply killed ours), but the process of learning the advanced thinking required for a sapient race would probably be equivalent to humans—so foals would have relatively fast physical development, but relatively stunted mental development.
Fuck you Golden Bit.
Just...Fuck you.
If Spit's gets killed, I vote Golden gets blowed up by Celestia. If Spits doesn't, I vote Golden gets blowed up by Celestia, but quicker and less painfully.
This may make me a bad person but i cant wait to see some kind of real adult conversation between Cheery and the rest of the girls (minus Twilight) with Twilight Velvet about Celestia / Luna / Cadance and all the other stuff that happens to her crazy little filly ...
I know Cheery talked to Celly once but that was a looooong time ago ... i think ... my brain farts sometimes ...
2868908 2869483
Fixed.
2869206
I'm going for something closer to human development in my stories for many of the same reasons that AnonponyDASHIE names. Also, it's more convenient for me because then I don't have to do some sort of weird mathematical acrobatics to make sure everything's going along as they would if they had horse physiology. //dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/emoticons/misc_Lyra_dealwithit.png
2869306
Your opinion notwithstanding, Twilight would very much like to see Spitfire live.
2869627
At least if they do end up fusing, they won't have to do some silly dance or wear earrings.
2869659
Nope. Words every departing soldier would rather hear.
2869763
That may or may not come, so don't hold your breath (get it? because we're talking about sex, so may come, and they're sea ponies so hold your breath. get it? get it? GET IT? ).
2870048
Thank you kindly.
Well, I sure don't want the world destroyed. Where else would I keep my stuff?
2871760
They may have already tried. It's hard to see their bottom halves when they come out of the water to talk.
2871929
A concise statement of the "Nature vs. Law of Comedic Conservation" argument.
2872191
I'm sensing some hostility there. It's very subtle, but I'm in tuned for that kind of thing...
2872355
Just wait until Sunny becomes old enough to date...
2873439
Hostility?
Nooooooo. Your imagining things. I love Golden Bit! He's awesome. I was just about to invite him over to make some cupcakes.
I wonder if he will like the secret ingredient. . .
2873439
Really? I'm further proven that I am a strange individual. I'd rather my significant other(s) tell me that if I came back in a pine box they would revive (resurrect, whatever...) me so they could strangle me themselves (for more than likely doing something incredibly stupid). It would give me more than a little inspiration to not fuck up the first time
Plus, well, they brought me back once...
2873439
I got it, but I'm still gonna wait for it. I wanna see that happen.
If I could write clop, I would do it myself
Sunny's more impressive then I thought. That filly's gonna be a handful. Hopefully she'll take after Twilight in the sensibility department.
2873439
So why haven't the sea ponies open a discount brothel?
(Just gotta pay for the property taxes and all the "water breathing" spells for the clients)
Then again, I bet those fuddy-duddies in City Hall will frown on a wholesome place like Ponyville having a cat[fish]house.

You are a genius. Have some moustaches.
2877849
I admit that one slipped right past me, good catch!
2879516>>2877849
i don't get it?
2879797
After Admiral Honor Harrington by David Weber.
Great Sci-fi series.
2875950
That remains to be seen. Actually, You ought to hope that she takes after her mother in that regard. Cheerilee seems to have a much more sensible head on her shoulders. //dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/emoticons/misc_Cheerilee.png
2876022
Cat[fish] house. That was awesome. I've got to use that sometime.
2877849
That's my second favorite ponified name; right after Dam Oak Leaves. //dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/emoticons/misc_Lyra_dealwithit.png
2879797
maneteam6 got it right.
2901245
Is there another kind of multi-mare sex?
2903609 To be fair, they all have a special brand of crazy. But I can see your point.
Wow that acutualy made me cry probably because when spitfire got deployed i remember when my dad got deployed.
Please bring Spitfire home safely to us. I've already cried enough in the past few days, I don't need to cry again. These dreams are getting to be really weird and prophetic. Couple more chapters before bed.

Commence read.
Intense start off. Gradually decreased, yet still kept on tip toe.
Good work Bluey
