> The Get Together > by PurpleArtist > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > The unsuspecting meeting > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4 year old Albatross was out playing in the yard where his mother was inside making pies where the red unicorn played with toy fire engines and toy fire ponies but there are no Pegasus one's where his parent's mostly his father took the Pegasus one's and melted them down. A iceberg blue Pegasus filly who was learning to fly she crash landed and gotten her head stuck in the wooden picket fence where he helped the filly get unstuck where she asked on if he wants to be friends where they shook hooves and became friends. His mother scared her off telling Albatross that Pegasus's are evil and mean so he shouldn't be around them where earth ponies and unicorns are better where he wouldn't let them say that about types of ponies they don't fully understand. It was 3:30 PM where Albatross's father a Equestrian war veteran came home after a hard work in a rum factory came home where the Cardinal red unicorn was told by his loving Mint Green unicorn wife that she caught Albatross talking with a pegasus filly but she scared the filly off. He took his son outside where he took a switch aka a stick and punished his son for talking to a "Pegi" where he has no problems with Pegasus where to him there nice. Tomorrow at school he talked to Mare the future mayor of Ponyville where he told her that his parents won't let him talk to a pegasus he likes where his parents have a certain distaste for Pegasuses where he doesn't know why but he can't go behind his parent's back. She told him that only way he can see a way out of it is to do on what he said he can't do and that's to go behind his parent's back. During art class he got his cutie mark for drawing but when he looked at it it's an 9 iron with a small flat paint brush overlapping each other but he drew that iceberg blue pegasus he met yesterday. His teacher a unicorn seen the picture where there was a heart around it where his parents were called in to discuss it where the teacher knows his parents have a distaste for Pegasuses for some reason or another. His parents more or less took the picture where at home they burned the picture and told him to get in into his head that he likes Pegasuses where they may hate them but he doesn't where he likes the filly he met yesterday. They grounded him for a month but he can't play with his older brother's Ace and Chef nor his foal's 3 year old brother Wolf and 2 year old Fisher. At night it was 11 PM where the filly she snuck out of her house and tapped onto his window. By a lake the 2 sat there talking getting to know each other where they spent the whole night talking then the 2 developed a puppy crush on each other. Albatross learned that her name was "Harp" and Harp learned that his name was "Albatross" > The Date > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 14 year old Albatross was in a tux that his mother made where his mother and father don't know on who he's dating where only description they were given that she's cute and iceberg blue but he didn't tell them if she's a earth pony or unicorn where they still despise Pegasuses. At the park the 2 walked down a concrete sidewalk where he asked on how she is where she told him that her parent's don't like her anymore after she told them that she's dating a unicorn where they don't want to have mixed grand foals from there daughter but Pegasuses grandchildren not unicorn or mixed. The 2 went into a diner where almost every pony looked at them where earth ponies and unicorns live together and pegasus don't but he doesn't care if they squawk or yell at him or to his parent's. There date wasn't entirely good where after dinner the 2 walked down the street where it was a earth pony and unicorn police wagon that came and told them that there under arrest for inter-species dating where the ice blue mare could've flew off but she stuck by her boyfriend. In a holding cell the 2 sat on a wooden bench and they talked to each other but the iceberg blue mare named "Harp" she started the conversation with "Wonderful Weather were having.". It is a nice cool 60 degrees outside where she could've started it better but just sat there. A unicorn police stallion came and told Albatross he's free to go where his parents are in the lobby but Harp isn't going to go where her parents don't even know that she's in jail. Albatross told the police stallion that he isn't going to leave without Harp. The police stallion used his magic and more or less forced him out of the holding cell where Harp sat there all night and her parent's don't even know she's been arrested for being a pegasus in a earth pony and unicorn town where Pegasus's are allowed but can't be seen dating earth ponies or unicorns. Albatross used his magic and had Harp to come out with him where outside his parents chewed him out but he pronounced his love for Harp and kissed the ice blue pegasus in front of his parents but they dragged over to there wagon and tossed him in where she soared off home. At home in a cloud her parents Brisk Flyee and Blaze asked on how as her date where Harp told them she was arrested but her boyfriend bought her out with him but the date was fine. They went down to the police station to raise Tartarus on why they arrested there daughter where they showed them a photograph of Harp and Albatross of the 2 having a good long kiss so they went home and scolded there daughter for dating a unicorn but like he did in front of his parents she did the same that she loves him and no pony is going to be in there way. > The unexpecting day > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- While Albatross's parent's were out of town he and Harp spent the night together where it was more or less practice when they get married where they shared the same bed. It was night time where they sat on the bed and made out but in the morning they spent the day together where Mare was with them where they played hot potato where they just had fun together. A month later while home watching his baby brothers where there was a knock on the door where it was he opened it where it's Harp and her parents where they grabbed the red unicorn and her father held a double barrel 8 gauge shotgun and the 2 gotten married via shotgun wedding where Mare who's the lieutenant mayor of the town asked "Albatross do you take Harp to be your beloved wife? (Albatross said yes) Harp do you take Albatross to be your ever loving husband? (Harp said yes) I now pronounce you as husband and wife." said Lt Mayor Mare asking the 2 if they take each other as husband and wife where the 2 16 year old's are married. They asked on how Lt Mayor Mare is a Lieutenant Mayor where her father is the mayor but her mother was Lt Mayor but she died where on a trip to Manehattan she was caught in a cross fire between 2 gangs and killed. They gave her there sympathies where they don't know what it's like where don't know how it feels to lose a family member. Albatross's father shunted them away denouncing that Albatross isn't his son anymore where after 11 months of hard work the 2 were at the town hospital Harp was in pain but after several minutes she given birth to a iceberg blue pegasus foal whom she named Base named after a Baseball Base and Baseball is Albatross's favorite sport besides golf. It was hard for them but it was hard work for them to raise there first newborn but he worked at the lumber mill earning just enough pay to feed his wife and there son where he's just earning enough to get by to support the 3 of them but every now and then he would work overtime. > New career and new addition > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Harp even though she's a great singer and can play the harp she gotten a job at the town's store as a stocker and her husband Albatross he gotten a permanent job as a painter where after awhile she gave the news that there going to have a new addition to there family where the 2 kissed. She used her wings to pick boxes and cans up and placed them onto the shelves where she earns only 120 bits a week where it maybe a tab bit less then her husband but how they'll have a second source of income. It was night after night of work where Albatross gotten up where he seen his lovely wife sitting at the dining room table of written down foal names where he kissed his pegasus wife on the forehead and told her it's time to get some sleep where they can focus on there next foal's name tomorrow where she told him he's right no need to stress out a name for there next foal. They went to sleep with there 2 year old foal sleeping in a crib at the foot of there bed but the 2 kissed then went to sleep. They just worked hard where sometimes Harp she would work double shifts for more income but every now and then would relax where she isn't going to cause stress especially for there unborn foal. After a few months passed they guessed the gender of the pony of Harp saying it's another colt and Albatross saying it's a filly but he mentioned that about 10-15% percent of his family has earth pony blood in it where it could be either a earth pony, unicorn or pegasus where she then told him that the name, gender and species doesn't bother her anymore but wants a fun and happy life style. He then told her that he's a unicorn and she's a pegasus what if there foal becomes an alicorn where she told him chances of that are 0.000000001% out of a million where a earth pony is like 15%, unicorn is 35% and pegasus is 35% where they'll have a higher time having either of the three then a alicorn. She even told him that if she gotten well it's a crime but gotten a foal from a changeling it'll be a high chance it'll be a pegasus even if a changeling fecundated her where he asked on what the term means where she told him it's another term to fertilize more or less carry a foal. She then told him that her parents are the educated types so that's how she knows that term and word and other term. There was a knock on the door where it was Lt Mayor Mare where she maybe 2 years late but it's a baby's gift where she seen that Harp is expecting another foal so she decided to get a new one for there new foal when it's born where she told her that she doesn't need to. Albatross asked if she seen his parent's lately where she told him no where they blend in with the general populace but she also told them that she's going to be leaving town is 9 months to a town called "Ponyville" and run for mayor there where she's going to try to take it a step further. 9 months later back at the hospital Harp given birth to a foal where it's a ice blue filly where they named her "Blue" after her mane color and tail also hair color is ice blue. Now the family was even of 2 boys Albatross (Husband & father) and Base (Son & eldest brother) also Harp (Wife & Mother) and Blue (Daughter & sister) > The almost impossible > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Harp's father has some connections to Canterlot which is 1/2 of Equestria away where his daughter is an amazing communicator where she was sent West to meet and talk to some changelings but she'll have a stallion where the stallion he's tough where if any pony or creature they need to extract Intel he's the stallion to do so. Harp she's an Linguist and well groomed where they met up with there contacts in the changeling lands where they want to overthrow there current leader and open up trade and better relations with Equestria. In a terrible room she and her teammate were together where with the leader of talking where the Equestrian war dept estimated that it'll take 8 months minimum to a year maximum to finish the talks. Unbeknownst to them that the changeling uprising group has impostors in the group where at night while sleeping she felt something where she felt sore in the next morning. Almost a month later she was sick of morning sickness where the fancy term she said to Albatross several months earlier The talks were slow and painful where especially of having a changeling-pony hybrid in her where she doesn't want it but she and her partner continued with there work where it was kinda delayed a bit when a earthquake hit but they continued. She hoped the evil changelings weren't there where her hopes were wrong where there's evil changelings that are there and at night they'll report everything back to the Queen where time would end for them and the talks would end badly. After months and months of delayed talks or slowed down it finally got better for both sides and the talks were getting more successful and when they get back to Canterlot trade will begin and they'll supply the resisting changelings to overthrow the queen and the evil changelings. 10 months later she didn't want to but had a pony-changeling hybrid foal that kinda looked like her but had holes in it's legs like an regular changeling. With the talks now over Harp left where the stallion with her told her he found somepony to spend the rest of his life with but she and he shook hooves and parted ways but not to be ousted as a cheater and had an affair on her husband the stallion she worked with took the pony-changeling hybrid foal and raised it as his own child. It's kinda fitting where he's also blue but more of a midnight blue shade of blue not a iceberg blue. She went home, reported that it was a success but her partner wanted to stay behind to well she phrased it as a pony liaison pony between then and Equestria. > The Miracle and sadness > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- While outside enjoying the nice weather Harp the iceberg blue pegasus openly told Albatross that she's pregnant where they were happy where like before they though of names, what's the gender, species where they were both thinking it'll be a unicorn but either it'll be cardinal red like it's father or iceberg blue like it's mother but only time will tell. They spent day in and day out thinking about what there foal will be where Albatross says it'll be a mare but Harp she says it'll be a stallion where he says it'll either be blue or red like his parents where she says either blue like her or well red and blue make magenta so maybe that shade. They didn't argue but when they weren't working they just socialized about there unborn foal. He says that there foal will be a fire stallion or something productive or in the civil service where she says it'll be an artist or something to do for leisure as work but whatever there foal chooses it's parent's will back it up. 11 months later while in Sire's Hollow while visiting Albatross's uncle Harp went to the hospital where in the delivery room they couldn't believe it but it wasn't a earth pony, not a unicorn, not a pegasus but a moderate purple alicorn where she named Purple Artist. The baby cooed and waved his baby frontal legs at his mother where she said in a baby voice to there new son "Don't worry little Purple you're parent's are here to help you in the world and you have 2 older siblings that'll play with you and help you as you progress in the world more." she said to Purple Artist that his parent's will always be with him and got 2 older siblings to help him when he becomes a colt and teenager. Outside of the hospital they wished Albatross's uncle bye and they'll see him again on Hearthswarming Eve or day but his uncle kissed Albatross on the cheek as a sign of friendship and his nephew's daughter on the forehead. They decided to take a short cut to save a few minutes back home to the unnamed town but they were ambushed by timber wolves. The 2 fought the Timber wolves but Harp she told Base and Blue to take there baby brother back to Sire's Hollow, go get there granduncle and help but unknown to them that'll be the last time they'll ever see there kids and that'll be the last time they ever see there mother and father. Due to Albatross's uncle was aging well old age and not in his prime as his NCO days in the war he was deeply sadden to see his nephew and his wife killed by the Timber wolves in ways he hasn't seen since the war days. Since Albatross's uncle well he's dying of cancer from alcohol he couldn't watch them but when there kids were placed into adoption and gotten adopted the 2 there spirit's overlooked them but mostly Purple where he never got to meet how his parent's were ever were. 18 years later the 2 sat in a hall watching there youngest son who's now 18 years old thank his parent's for everything but they finally told him the truth that he's actually adopted and Base told him that there parent's were actually nice and he would've loved them. Harp finally seeing once of Base being nice to Purple her ghost she used her wing to wipe a tear from her eye where there not entirely needed to watch over there children. Couple of years later in Canterlot the 2 there ghost's sat behind Ms Target Bullseye where just hearing there son and his fiancee get married there days of watching Purple were now over. Even though the wedding was in Canterlot Mayor Mare did the wedding asking if they were going to love, take care, cherish and so on of each other where they both said "I Do." where there no longer needed to watch over him as ghost's. Albatross's father he felt ashamed of driving his son away and denouncing him when he and Harp were married via shotgun wedding where he never got to meet his grandchildren where he just couldn't handle himself especially after his wife passed away from a stroke. He only got to meet Purple Artist whom more or less told his grandpa that he heard that his father and mother were lovely and nice people where his grandfather told him that his son was a nice pony whom he though would be a no pony for marrying an pegasus and semi raised 3 beautiful and friendly children. He doesn't know that his eldest grandson Base is actually an jerk since Purple was brought into the world.
