Chapter 1
“But Honey, I just don’t know what to get her.” A mysterious stallion whined to his partner as they snuck through the sewers of a busy street in the middle of Manehatten.
“Well it is her third birthday, by now you would think you would know your own daughter.” The mare sighed. “Why not just get her a human plushy or something of that sort of things, I hear mares love them now a days.” Whipping her head around, “And why am I the one that is always in the front?”
“Because it makes the view from back here better.” Stated the stallion matter-of-factly. Receiving a hind hoof to the face the stallion muttered a “worth it” before continuing behind his partner. Silence fell upon them as they continued their way through the sewer. As a little light started to slowly appear ahead, the stallion took the map he had of the sewer system out of his saddle.
“Is that it ahead?” The mare asked.
“Yeah, that’s it honey.” Replied the stallion.
Reaching the light, the mare pulled away her ski mask to reveal her blue fur and prismatic mane. The stallion copied her motion to reveal his sky blue fur and his dark blue mane. Giving the stallion a quick peck on the lips she pulled her mask back over her face.
“Wish me good look babe.” Rainbow Dash stated to her husband.
“Good luck, and make it quick. We still need to go shopping for Violet’s gifts.” Soarin replied to his wife.
Rainbow started to climb up to the top of the ladder to get a good view of the outside world. Gigantic structures littered every which way, looking lower she started to get a view of all the ponies that were moving about doing their own activities to get the day done. Scanning through all these different types of ponies at a thousand miles per millisecond, she spotted the one pony that she needed to notice. She pulled out some binoculars so she could get a glance at the stallions cutie mark just to make sure they brown coat and black maned stallion fitted the description in the mission outline. Getting a good look at the double knife cutie mark the stallion had she knew he was the one. Climbing halfway back down the ladder, she took her saddles off and opened up the right side to reveal a tiny briefcase. The contents of an unassembled gun lay there ready to be put together.
After assembling it she turned to Soarin, “Hey you got the mag?”
“Yeah”, he reached into his saddle and handed it to her. “Here you go.”
“Thanks.” She shoved the mag into the slot at the side of the gun and proceeded to give it a good punch just to make sure it was in. Pulling the bolt of the rifle back and then shoving it back to cover the chamber, she climbed back up and spotted the target through the scope. Starting to apply her controlled breathing, she waited till she had the sights perfectly one inch above her targets head, then right on her exhale out she pulled the trigger and the stallion instantly fell over the table, blood splattering all over the wall behind him.
This caused all the other stallions around the now dead target to get up from their tables and pull out all of their sorts of weapons they had hidden under the tables. All of them were scanning around them trying to figure out where the shot came from until one of the stallions saw the glare from Dash’s scope.
“Over there, in the sewers!” The stallion shouted.
Rainbow immediately dropped down, snapping her front right hoof in the process. “C’mon Soarin, we need to start moving now!”
“Yeah, hop on I got you.” Soarin lowered to let his wife get on his back real quick. Once Rainbow was on Soarin started to fly through the tunnels of the sewer system with great speed, already having the escape route memorized he knew they would not get caught. As they continued, a light became present, flapping harder, he busted through the little fence set up with ease and continued to fly in the direction of Canterlot.
Later that night, Soarin and Rainbow entered their cloud house to the sound of their names being yelled.
“Mommy, daddy, your home!” Violet came running up to Rainbow and tried to jump into Rainbows hooves but was stopped by her father before she could. “What happened mommy?” The little filly asked.
Soarin picked up his daughter and gave her a kiss on the cheek before replying, “Nothing sweetums, she just fell on the job.” Setting his daughter down and giving her half prismatic, half dark blue mane a tussle before continuing, “So what do you want for dinner tonight?”
“Pizza!” The little filly replied ecstatically.
Dash muttered “of course” as Soarin helped her over to the couch to sit down while laughing at his daughter’s decision in food.
“I guess I will go order it then.” Soarin said as he trotted into the kitchen.
Dash started to relax into the couch, especially when her little filly came up and started to snuggle up to her. Pulling the filly into her embrace, she laid down with her, wanting to take a nice little nap. Before she knew it, Violet heard her mother snoring and decided that she wasn’t going to get to move until her mother woke up. Closing her eyes, she snuggled into her mom’s warmth and let sleep take her too.
Soarin trotted back into the living room from the kitchen, expecting to tell the two mares of the house that pizza was on the way, but he got one of the cutest sights he has ever seen his wife doing. Deciding his wife needed the sleep, he trotted back into the kitchen smirking.
“Looks like I get to eat all the pizza tonight,” his stomach growled, “and I need it too.”
Sitting down at the table he waited for the pizza pony to show up.
