Young love.

Three weeks passed from that night, when Dash picked up her son and left for her house in the sky, and Big Mac had been getting more worried about what he'd tell his wife, more importantly his sisters and grandmother! Big Mac had been losing sleep, which then effected his work habits and other chores. He even at one point fell asleep while fixing the rain gutters and had the loose gutters fall on top of him after he fell off of the ladder!

Big Mac finally decided it was time for the truth to be heard.

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

The school day had ended, and the CMC had left for the clubhouse out in the apple fields. When they arrived inside the clubhouse, they began to discuss what their special talent could be. "Maybe mine's carpentry!" Scootaloo said. "Hmm," Bash began "I don't know, but I think I know mine! I'm probably good at stopping and starting tornadoes!" Bash said, puffing out his chest. "Hmm.... Only one way t' find out!" Applebloom said.

Th group went out side of the tree house, and Bash started to fly around in circles, creating a small twister, which began to grow even more and more.

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

Inside the farm house, Big Mac had gathered Applejack, Cloud Chaser, Granny Smith, and Rainbow Dash. "OK y'all, ther's somethin' Ah need to tell ya." Big Mac began "I ha- Hey, where's Applebloom?" Big Mac asked. After that, the CMC had ran inside the farm house with Bash following with them. "Applejack! There's a twister outside" Applebloom warned her sister, as she pointed out a window. "What in th' hay! How did it come here?" Applejack asked.

Bash had rubbed his hoof behind his head, and said "It came because I started it, and made it grow bigger cause I thought that I'd get my cutie mark in starting and stopping tornadoes....." Rainbow Dash's jaw dropped at what she heard "WHAT?! Bash, why would you think that?" Bash ad cringed at his mother's question "I don't know ma'am, I thought I'd be able to control it!"

"Look, we all need t' get in th' cellar, now!" Big Mac said, as he opened the basement door, and signaled the others to enter the room. Everypony sat still, and waited for the tornado above them to go away. Applejack gave a head count, only to find that Bash wasn't inside the cellar with them. "Bash!" Dash shouted, as she ran up stairs. Dash went outside the farm house to find her son, and saw a red circle flying around the tornado.

Bash was circling the tornado counter-clockwise to slow it down and stop the rushing winds, and was flying as fast as he could, and had nearly closed his eyes to stop the wind from getting in them. "Come on Basher, you can do this!" He said to himself, as he flew even faster around the tornado. Eventually, he felt the winds start to slow down, and when he tried to escape the defeated tornado, he hadn't seen where he was flying and didn't slow down, and ran into several apple trees and a flew into the barn wall, causing wooden planks to follow him into the barn and lay on top of him on the barn floor.

Dash saw everything that happened and screamed "BASHY, NOOOOOO!" as she flew to her son inside the barn, freeing him of the rubble, and seeing her son knocked out "Come on baby, wake up! Please wake up, please listen to mommy!" She said, as she hugged her son. Applejack ran into the barn, and noticed the unconscious colt and sobbing mother "Dash, we need t' get him t' th' hospital, he's gonna need the medical attention!"

Dash nodded her head, and flew her son to the hospital, with the Apple family following her, as well as Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo.

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

At the hospital, Bash had been sent into an emergency room, with Dash going inside with him, to make sure her son was OK. Some time had passed, and the doctor came back and said "He's going to be alright ma'am. He's only suffered some major bruises from what you told us, he's lucky to have survived that much. Even for a colt of his age!" The doctor said laughing, then noticed Dash's angry facial expression towards the doctor's remark. "So, can my friends come in and see him?" Dash asked.

"Of course, just hope that he'll wake soon Ms. Dash, have a good day." The doctor said, as he left the room to tell the party outside that they could enter. After the doctor had left, a minute or two later everypony came inside. "Is he going to be alright?" Sweetie asked, concerned for the unconscious colt. "Yeah, he's just gonna be out cold for another minute or two." Dash assured Sweetie Belle, hoping she was right.

Ten minutes had passed, and Bash had begun to wake up, then take note of the ponies that surrounded his bed. "M-Mom... is that you?" Bash weakly asked. "Yes baby, it's me, don't worry Mommy's here!" Dash said, as she lightly hugged her son. When she let go, Sweetie Belle jumped onto Bash's bed and said "Hey, that was a brave thing you did there. But why did you start the tornado anyways?" Bash sighed at what he heard, and replied. "I wanted to impress you Sweetie Belle, cause I might've grown some feelings for you!" He said quickly "And I wanted to prove that I could stop a tornado and then stop one, WHICH I DID!" He then said, raising a hoof in the air, then took note of the red stallion in the room. Bash's jaw dropped, and he was silent for a minute then said "D-Dad, is that you?"

Big Mac had stopped looking at the colt and said "OK, now's the time t' tell y'all what I wanted to." To Everypony's surprise. "8 years ago, me and Dash here dated fer a while. She was in college, and I wasn't cause I was workin' on the family farm. One night, me and Dash went t' this party she was invited to. Dash... well got drunk and persuaded me to sleep with her in the closet... with a condom on. When she found out she was pregnant, she told me that the condom must've broke..... I left her cause I didn't want to face the truth of why I lied, and being a father." Big Mac said, then turned to Dash "Rainbow, I never wore a condom that night." Then turned to his wife "Honey, this colt is my son, and he has been for 8 years, even though I only knew him for 3 weeks." Big Mac explained, then got slapped by his wife, his ex-marefriend, then his sister.

"Why did you not tell me about him, in those three weeks you knew about him?!" Cloud Chaser said, as she began pounding on Big Mac's shoulder with her hooves and cried softly.

"Ah'm sorry honey, Ah really am. But Ah thought things'd be a lot worse if you found out right away!" Big Mac said, then was kicked in his nether regions by his wife.

"That's for lying to me for keeping that secret for three weeks you ass!" Cloud Chaser said, as she went to sit down at one of the chairs in the room.

"So, mom..." Bash said, then got out of bed "He's my dad?" Dash smiled at her quickly recovered son and said "Yes," then pointed at Bash and said "And that's your cutie mark!" She said, looking at the tornado on her son's flank. "No way! It is my special talent after all!" Bash said.

Sweetie Belle got off the bed, then hugged Bash, and when she broke the hug, she kissed him full on the lips. When she broke the kiss she said "I love you Cloud Basher, will you go out with me." She asked the colt, who began to blush, even if it was barely visible on his red skin. He stood silent for a minute, and looked into Sweetie's eyes and said, in a loving way that you'd expect a surprised colt to say "Sure...."
