The love of Family Ch. 1

It was a normal cool autumn day in Ponyvillie. At least for Twilight it was as normal as her days got. Reading her books not a care in the world. Twilight found that her new princess duties weren't all that bad. Really aside from having a word in important decisions that affected all of Equestria her life didn't change all too much. She was still a princess in training, so to speak, after all. She knew that her life wouldn’t be this peaceful forever so she wanted to spend all the time she had to herself doing only what she wanted to do. Unfortunately for her a certain cyan colored pegasus wouldn't have it.

“Hey Twi,” Rainbow Dash flew into the Library distracting Twilight from her book.

“Hello again Rainbow,” Twilight replied with a sigh knowing all too well what the Pegasus wanted.

“So, have you changed your mind yet?” Rainbow landed on the wooden floor of the Library.

“No Rainbow I haven’t,” Twilight sighed again “I told you I’m not into mares, and even if I was I really don’t feel like being in a relationship for the time being,”

Rainbow rolled her eyes “That’s what they all say at first,” Rainbow closed the distance between herself and her hopefully future marefirend. “Come on it’s not like you have anything to lose it might be fun just-,”

“No, again Rainbow no how many times do I have to say it?” Twilight interrupted Rainbow.

“Oh come on Twi. Weren't you the one that said don’t knock it till you've tried it?”

“Rainbow that was something totally different beside you had nothing better to do and no you said that,”

“Am I asking too much Twilight?”

“Well yeah kind of,” Twilight gave Rainbow an annoyed look “I just…want to spend this time doing what I want to do and not waste what short time I have,”

Rainbow was speechless “WASTE!” Rainbow yelled “You know what forget it whatever makes you happy princess. I guess it’s true, you really don’t have time for us anymore. You becoming a princess wasn't so great after all…” Rainbow began flaying to the door.

Twilight paused for a second “Rainbow wait I didn't mean it like that!” Twilight tried to stop her friend.

“Look I’ll stop bugging you I shouldn't have come here in the first place, sorry,” Rainbow Dash opened the door and left with her head hanging.

“Rainbow Dash wait!” Twilight tried to stop Rainbow from leaving but was unsuccessful. She found herself alone in the main room of the library once again. The cool air blowing in from the open door. “Why did I say that? What wrong with me? Didn't want to waste my time with her? Even if she’s acting like a filly I should still treat her with respect…” Twilight put her head in her hoofs shaking it disappointed with herself. "I just ugh I'm so stupid my time is never wasted with any of my friends especially Rainbow Dash. She's my best friend we always spend time together I should have know she was going to develop feelings for me at some point."

Twilight was surprised when she first found out all of her friends were fillyfoolers. She later found out that Ponyvillie was famous for being a small town that was pretty much fillyfooler central, there was another place that was the same for Coltcuddlers. That was why there weren't many Colts in town the only one she knew personalty was Big Mac and that was only because he was Applejacks brother. Twilight wasn't sure how too feel about that at first but as she spent more time with them she realized that they were still her friends. “What am I doing standing here I need to go find Rainbow and apologize,” Twilight said.

“Spike?” Twilight called “I’m out for a little while. I’ll be back before dinner,”

Spike walked in from the kitchen “Are you sure Twilgiht?”

“Yeah…” Twilight put her scarf on getting ready for the cool autumn weather.

“You don’t look to good Twilight,” Spike walked over to his soul sister and put a claw on her forehead.

“Spike, I just made a big mistake and I need to fix it,”

“What, did something happen with Rainbow?” Spike walked closer to his sister

“Yeah,” Twilight pauses for a moment think of a way too say she was sorry before continuing to put on her saddlebags just in case “I remember Rainbow Dash said that the weather team is helping get White Tail Woods ready for the Running of the Leafs. She might be there,” She started to walk out the door.

“Well I hope everything between you two turns out okay,”

“Me too Spike…me too” Twilight walked outside and felt a cool breeze flow through her fur. That mixed with the warm sunlight made Twilight feel wonderful inside, aside from the fact that she basically told her friend she didn't need her looming in the back of her mind. The weather team did wonderful on the day’s weather. There were a few clouds out but not so many that it interfered with the suns warmth. But thinking about the weather only made Twilight think about Rainbow Dash, a frown formed on her face thinking about the word waste.

Before Twilight began her walk to the woods she took a deep breath the familiar aroma of Ponyville that she grew so accustomed too filled her nose. She began power walking through the small town only thinking about Rainbow Dash and what she was going to say too her “I think I really hurt her,” Twilight thought not really paying attention to the road. “That was a really stuipid thing to say. How could I very apologize too her?” As she entered White Tail Woods she looked at the leaves that were turning golden brown on the trees. “Wow I got here pretty fast,” she smiled getting lost in the beauty of the trees that filled here with hope.

She looked around the area that in a week would be filled with ponies running knocking the leaves from their branches. There were a few ponies there working but none of them really paid much attention to Twilight and none of them were Rainbow Dash. Ignoring them Twilight began trotting through the woods looking for her Rainbow manned friend.

After a few minutes of searching Twilight started to feel funny, a familiar sensation filled Twilight’s body. “Oh no not again,” Twilight though putting her hoof to her head. “Why is this happening again? I thought I got over this years ago!” Twilight remembered the first time she felt this. It was during her entrance exam at Celestia’s School for gifted unicorns. After the years spent there she thought that she could control this, but for some reason it was back and even more powerful.

Twilight’s eyes started too glow bright white and her horn shimmered. Suddenly she felt her horn tarted to glow. Twlght tried too stop herself but found that she had little control of her horn. After a few seconds for fighting a losing battle Twilight screamed in pain as a bright light flashed in front of her blinding the purple unicorn for a short time. When Twilight finally opened her eyes a sigh of relief escaped her muzzle. “That was a close one but it looks like it was a fluke,” she giggled “But still,” Twilight paused putting her hoof on her chin looking around the woods. “I screamed pretty loudly I wonder why those ponies didn't come and check on me I could have been murdered how rude!” Twilight thought. “I’ll just have to speak with them later,” Twilight said to no pony in particular.

Twilight shook her head “I shouldn't get desecrated I need to find Rainbow,” she looks at the setting sun “it’s getting late,” Twilight continued her search thinking about what to say to Rainbow when she found her. As she was walking a shadow of a pegasus flew past her. Twilight's heart started beating faster, looking up she saw a rainbow maneed pegasus “Oh, Rainbow! Down here! It’s Twilight I want to talk to you!” Twilight yelled hoping to get the pegasus’s attention. Too Twilight’s delight the pony noticed here a started to fly towards her.

As the mare got closer Twilight noticed that it wasn't Rainbow just a pony that looked a lot like here only with a different mane cut, a different rainbow pattern in her mane, her coat was a darker more violet color than Rainbow’s, and a cutie mark of a shooting star on her flank. The pegasus landed and smiled widely. “Oh I’m sorry to have bothered you," Twilight said apologetically “You just remind of one of my friend and I thought you were her,”

The other mare tilted her head to the side and raised an eyebrow with a confused look on her face “Well I hope I remind you of a friend,” the pony said in a raspy yet feminine voice. The pony threw her arms around Twilight squeezing her hard “We missed you so much mom!”

“WHAT?!” Twilight screamed.

“Ah! W-what’s wrong?” The young pegasus screamed as well.

“I…I think you have me confused with some other pony,”

The pegasus wore a confused look once again and circled Twilight stopping at different points to observe her body. After a few rotations the pegasus griped Twilight’s left wing and started to pull on it. “Ow! What are you doing?” Twilight pulled back her wing in protest. The pegasus then trotted to Twilight’s head and examined her horn. She tapped it a couple of times the horn making a hard knocking sound. “Okay this is getting weird,” Twilight thought as the pegasus continued to do what seemed like a physical to the alicorn.

“Nope,” the pegasus backed away from Twilight with a spring in her step. “There aren't every many alicorns in the world mom,” Twilight put her hoof on her head trying too figure out what was going on.

“Me, a kid? I don’t even like anypony how could I have a child?” Twilight thought to herself. “Are you sure you don’t have me confused with some other pony?” Twilight asked once again hoping for a different answer.

“Oh mom, I love how you always do stuff like this,” the pegasus giggled “I bet your hungry, come on I can cook us some dinner at home. You do remember where home is right?” The pegasus said in a playful tone. She put her hoof around Twilight's neck and the two started their trot back to Ponyville.

Twilight was very confused at this point but decided to play along for now. “So,” Twilight started, trying to start a conversation with the stagger pony “You cook?”

“Of course I do ever since uncle Spike left I've been cooking. Um mom are you sure you’re okay?”

“Yeah I’m okay,” Twilight lied “Spike left?” she thought to herself.

“Well if you say so. By the way mom I've been wondering.” The pegasus started “Why did you get back so early, did aunt Celestia decide to let you comeback early or something? Also why were you in the White Tail Woods?”

“Oh umm,” Twilight hesitated “Yeah, Princess Celestia allowed me to return home we got done early with my project,” Twilight lied out of her flank hoping the young mare would buy it.

“Oh, and what about the woods?”

Twilight already knew an answer of this question “Oh you know…I just love White Tails Woods this time of year.”

“That sounds like you mom,” the pony started again “But you know Nocturne’s not going to be happy that you came all the way out here without her, man she’s going to be jealous that I got the first hug,” the pony's smile grew and she started to trot faster as they entered Ponyville.

“Nocturne?”

“MOM! I’m surprised at you. I know I’m your favorite but that doesn't mean you should talk about your second favorite like you don’t know her.” The pony started to giggle once again.

Twilight had to admit that this mare was cute when she laughed like that. Twilight had taken a guess that this pony was young younger than she looked by the way she was acting, probably at least mid to early teens at least. “If she’s my daughter than she must take after her father. Wait a second,” Twilight thought “Who is her father? Wait it can’t be… rainbow mane and tail. No I couldn't have married Rainbow Dash I don’t have any feelings for her, well not those kind of feels for her, besides how did we have children we’re both mares.” The ponies were coming up to the library “Yep I’m going to walk into the library and everything will make sense.” Twilight was a nerves wreak, she was sweating and her legs were wobbling leaving Twilight to wonder how she was standing upright. “It’s just some prank by Rainbow to get back at me.” Twilight contained to lie to herself.

The two mares walked up to the library door and without a second thought the young mare threw the doors open. “We’re home everypony!” she yelled so loud leaving Twilight wondering if the pegasus wanted the whole town too know. “You’ll never guess who I found during my flight!” the pony continued.

“Oh, who?” A low soft and quite voice came from the stairs as a small filly walked down them, the filly was a unicorn with a light purple coat and a dark violet messy mane and tail with 2 streaks in her mane with different shades of violet. The filly’s eyes widened when she saw Twilight. “Mommy you’re home!” the filly yelled and she ran too Twilight her legs wrapped around her neck.

“Oh moms home?” Twilight knew that voice. The pony walked down the stairs it was what Twilight feared it was Rainbow Dash. The rainbow maned pegasus trotted over to Twilight and nuzzled her. “Welcome home honey,”

Author's Note

Yeah, sorry about how bad this chapter is I'm not very good at setting things like this up. Like I said this is the first major thing I've written in years so I'm probably very rusting at this sort of thing. Constructive criticism would be appreciated I would like too know if I should continue you this fic or just forget about it and never write anything again. I think the pacing is kinda bad but maybe it's just me.
