Young love.

The next day came, and started off as another day for Dash. But today she had many things to do on her list. First, she would wake up her son, then make him and herself some breakfast, and then take him to school, and then... She'd go see somepony she was going to talk to, about a very serious case.

Dash went to her son's room, and woke him up, and then made him and her breakfast, and everything else she planned which each went according to plan! She got ready for her day today, as did Bash, and they flew down to the schoolhouse on the ground below. When the two arrived at the schoolhouse, Dash asked her son "Will you try to ignore the fillies that were jerks to you today Bashy?" as she hugged her son. "Yes ma'am. But please don't call me 'Bashy' in public mom, it's embarrassing!" Bash said, blushing from the embarrassing nickname his mom usually called him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When the school bell rang, Bash ran inside to get ready for class. Seeing him run off, Dash decided to see the stallion, who she thought was an ass! Dash took off, and went for a farm. She thought to herself "He better not cause Bash any harm!" She jolted off, and was close to her destination. But who woulda thought(Since Dash didn't  know), her ex was with The Spanish Inquisition!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When Dash had landed, she thought to herself "Where is he? He's gotta be here somewhere!" But her thoughts were interrupted by Applejack, who said to her friend "Why Rainbow Dash, what're you doin' here?"

"Oh, hey AJ." Dash began, trying to look innocent to her honest friend "I'm looking for Big Mac, you seen him?"

"Yeah, he's out in the fields, buckin' apple trees." Applejack said "Why don't y'all come back lat'r so y'all two can talk?"

Dash nodded her head yes, and flew back home for a quick moment.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hey Cheerilee, it's Rainbow Dash." Dash said to the phone, talking to the school teacher "I need you to tell y son that he's going to have to head home with a friend, and that I'll pick him up later. K?"

"Ok Rainbow Dash, I'll let him know right away!" Cheerilee said to Dash, then hung up the phone. Dash had grinned a bit, cause her new plan was going perfect! Dash left her house right after the teacher hung the phone up, and went back to the apple farm.... This time without anypony finding out she arrived.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dash arrived at the farm house, and went for her ex's bedroom, and hid in the closet....

A couple hours went by, and Dash was asleep, until she heard a close of the bedroom door. She opened the closet door, and said "Hey there Macintosh. How are ya?" looking mad at her ex(why not?) Big Mac was startled from the sudden appearance of his ex-marefriend "R-Rainbow Dash! What're you doin' here? You gotta go, if ya don't, mah wife'll kill th' both of us!"

"Look, I'm here because-.... You're wife?" Dash asked, then shook her head to remember why she came "I'm here cause I'm going to tell you this. Our son started school, and he made friends with your little sister, and if you don't tell him the truth soon, it'll hurt him, a lot! Wait... Bash!" Rainbow said, as she flew down stairs to leave he farm house, and when she reached the living room, she saw her son and Applebloom and her friends doing their homework.

"Hey mom! What's up?" Bash asked.

"Oh, nothing Bashy, just here to pick ya up!" Dash said, as she felt a bit of self pain for lying to her son. "Come on, let's go." Dash said.

Bash got his things together, and was heading out the door with his mother, and as they were heading out, Big Mac came downstairs and saw Dash take their son home. Before she left, Dash stuck her head back into the front door window and said to Big Mac "Remember, if you don't tell him, and he gets hurt, I'm going to hurt you! THAT'S a promise."  then flew to her son and flew home.

Big Mac gulped "What'll my wife think if she found out I have a son that I refused to know about?"

Then, Big Mac's wife came out from the kitchen and said "Hey Big Mac, what was that all about?" in a cheerful tone.

Big Mac turned to the love of his life, and said to her "Nothin' Cloud Chaser, just an old friend of mine visitin' is all." as he hugged his wife.

As the couple went upstairs, Sweetie Belle turned to her friends and said "Hey guys, you think Big Macintosh and Bash have something that they're hiding?"

"What could they be hiding?" Scootaloo asked.

"Well, whatever it is," Applebloom began "Big Mac's gonna have to tell Bash something apparently..." Applebloom said, then thought of an idea "Girls, Ah got an idea for what are cutie marks could be! Cutie Mark Crusader couples therapist!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When Bash and Dash got home, Bash went straight for his room to go to bed. When Bash got into bed, he got out his notebook he wrote in last night, and the pencil he'd use for it, and wrote down

"Well, didn't find dad today from the ponies I saw when me and my friends were walking back to 'bloom's place that I looked like. Maybe Mom lived somewhere else when she met Dad, and moved here when he left her? I don't know, I just hope that I can find him one day, then have him answer all my questions I've got for him.

Does Dad still love Mom, or me? "
