> Motherly Rarity > by Bro Dash > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Motherly Love, Motherly Anger > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rarity had finally recovered and left the hospital with her newborn foal in a small cloth hammock strapped to her side. She gave her a few glances, anxious to get back to holding this marvel of Equestria, and beautiful fruits of her and Spike's love, oh she just could not wait. As she trot along to her home, the boutique, it just so happened that someone decided to block her way in the midst of the road. "Excuse me.", she walked around him. Then were stopped by another. And another. As she continued forwards, she became surrounded, and it all began with What is that thing? Rarity gasped a short gasp, turning to the origin, but it had spread throughout every one of those surrounding her. Nothing but rude, no, insane ponies throwing insult after insult, maliciously sneering at her, doing their damnedest to, as Rarity would put together, feel like a monster for the simple fact that her foal was not equine. A quick burst of angry magic, and she blew away a group of them to make way out of their malice and hatred, rushing off from the sight into the fields. Some of them followed, even began throwing things at her. Magic stopped them from pelting her or the foal. As Rarity arrived at the boutique, everyone jumped out of their hiding spots, yelling their surprises in the face of a mascara streaked diva. Pinkie Pie even halted mid blow on the party favor she had in her mouth, spat it out, and furrowed her brow, twitching in three different ways. "Oh Celestia, what happened, Rarity?", Twilight asked. She were first to her side. Rarity began sobbing, running her mascara far worse than before. Spike let out a long sigh as he approached and scooped up his youngling. Which was a perfect mixture of dragon and pony by, as Twilight would put it, a 50-50 ratio. Dragon wings, pony body, a mane that ran the length of her tiny body, all the way to the tip of her long tail, and claws at the end of each leg. She were a vivid violet, framed only by accute amounts of green. She were asleep, thankfully. "Those horrible bastards!!", Rarity shouted. Wakign the youngling as well. Who also began crying. Fluttershy feinted. "Spike, what're ya doin'?", Applejack asked, approaching him specifically. "Kinda new to this whole father thing. I'm just takign care of the...baby...until Rarity is through with the water works. Kinda how we've sorted things out since we got together. The time Blueblood insulted her without noticing." *rarity balling her eyes out* "The time her idea was rejected by Photo Finish." *Rarity ruining dresses with running mascara as she balled her eyes out* "That one time where we tried to take a break from one another, and she regretted it five minutes later." *Rarity shivering after a four hour long crying session due to exhaustion and lack of fluids* "Alright. Guessin' that's all normal when datin' a diva then. That's all.", Applejack left Spike, approaching Rarity and Twilight. "Alright, Rarity, am ah kickin' someone's keister? Breakin' teeth? Shoveling the hardest apple whiskey we got sittin' in the basement down their throats until they vomit painfully?" Twilight gave Applejack a rather twisted look of disgust, shock, and confusion. "Hey, it worked the one time we did it. That jackass never once bad mouthed Granny Smith ever again." "That's because it's torture." "An' ye're sayin' me kickin' in Jet Black's teeth ain't?" "You got a point there, but what you're talking about is a bit too extreme." "They'll survive! It's not like they're gonna feel it in a couple minutes anyway! they may feel sick, but you could buck 'em in the head, an' they wouldn't feel it." "Not this time, AJ." "Ah'ight. Ruriteh. Names. Locations. Ah'll just beat some heads together fer a minute'r two." "Why are there so many ponies outside?", Pinkie asked. Indeed, as they spoke, ponies had amassed outside the boutique, all shouting and angrily glaring at everything inside. Banging, window breaking, they were vandalizing the boutique. "Back off! I'm warning you!", Twilight erected thin barriers between them and the mob. She were pushing them back up until the point where a massive wall of thick, pure blue light slammed in front of her, breakign her focus. And it forcefully cut a path for Rarity as she walked out into the mob, silently. Lightning struck the ground before her. Silenced everyone. "I'm going to say this once. And only once. Don't you ever so much as even look cross-eyed at my child. Foal. Baby. Youngling. I don't even know what to call it myself, but goddess damned Celestia so help me I will fry you with lightning!!!", she yelled. "Do I make myself clear?" One stallion began shouting, and immediately, lightning struck him down, leaving him on the ground, twitching from the intense voltage still coursing through his body. "Anyone else?" No response. "Also the reason why I took the baby.", Spike piped. Rarity turned aroudn sharply, stomping her way into the boutique. "Husband!", she shouted angrily, turning sharply again, just before the stairs. "Upstairs! NOW!!!", she then stomped up the stairs. "I also grabbed the baby for that reason as well. Uh...Aj, if'n ya wouldn't mind?", he crouched down next to the farmer pony. "Shucks, ah ain't complainin', but whah me?" A loud shatter rang from upstairs. "HUSBAND!!!" "Because I need at least one of you to stay." "Well, ah'm sure that-" A loud explosion rang from above, which was punctuated by the flash of a large glowing object that flew from overhead into the dirt road beside the boutique. "Coming, love!", Spike began on his way. "Gotta take care of business.", he climbed the steps. "Fluttershy, Twilight, Pinkie, Rainbow, leave. No questions asked." Spike was yanked up the remainder of the stairs. A moment later, repetitive banging sounded from above. Specifically something getting hit really, really hard, over and over again. Like a sledge pulverizing into a wall. "I'm just...gonna go.", Twilight turned and left. Fluttershy scurried off. Pinkie pie twitched twice, laughed, then bounced off. "Yeeeeeaaahhh. I'm not staying. F this. F all this, I have no idea what that noise is, and I don't even wanna know.", Rainbow bolted. Applejack was left alone. The baby pony-dragon in her hooves did not cry or make a noise. In fact, she simply slept. Soundly. Didn't. Budge. "Ah'm rather worried 'bout this family.", she huffed.
