The Love of a Family
Chapter 5
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe morning air was cool and blew across Twilights face causing her to get a bit of a shiver, she couldn't remember the last time she was up this early. As the mares walked, one was trotting happily, Twilight noticed that there were quite a few of ponies out, but most weren't nearly that awake, herself included. It didn't help that there was a young filly sleeping soundly on her back, making Twilight wish she was back in bed.
Twilight started to think about her old home, before the spell sent her here, she was still so confused she looked at Rainbow and Sunrise talking to each other, Twilight was to lost in thought to hear what they were saying. Twilight eye's widen and she would have faced hoof if she wasn't walking. "Why did I think about this earlier?" She thought to herself "Why don't I just tell them?" She smiled and looked at the filly sleeping on her back then to Rainbow Dash for a few seconds and frowned, her thoughts went back to last night Rainbow Dash between her legs, what would she say? "Hey Rainbow Dash I'm not actually your wife, but thanks for bucking me, I liked it." Twilight then looked at the filly on her back "What about her? How would she react? Hey I'm not actually your mom!"
"Hey Rainbow!" Twilight snapped back into reality as an orange pegasus flew down in front of them.
"Scoots!" Rainbow said is a yelling whisper and pointed to the sleeping filly,
"Oh I'm sorry," She started to whisper. |Anyway we're-"
"Scootaloo!" A voice a little further away yelled. It was Sweetie running up to them closely followed by Appplebloom, "We can't fly we can't keep up with you!" the two ponies were panting.
Scootaloo just a bit. "Oh sorry Sweetie," she walked up to her and nuzzled her and gave her a small kiss on the cheek. Causing the Unicorn to blush.
"N-not in front of others..."
Twilight’s eyes shoot open at the affection show by the two. Rainbow just rolled her eyes and Sunrise just smiled, as Twilight had come to expect from the two. "Come on ya'll she'll be here any minute," Apple Bloom said.
Rainbow gave a slight smirk. "Where are you 3 headed in such a hurry?"
"Well we were going to the train station," Apple Bloom glared at Scootaloo with an annoyed look. "Until Scootaloo suddenly wanted to race, and I would have won too if somepony didn't trip me," She nudged Sweetie Belle playfully.
"I didn't trip you."
"Yes you did you did it because you know I would have beat Scootaloo if I didn't fall over,"
"Oh yeah, how about we start from here?" Scootaloo asked revving up her wings.
"Hey you can-,"
"3-2-1 go!" Scootaloo suddenly flew off.
"W-wait!" Apple Bloom chased the pegasus.
Sweetie Belle just sighed. "I guess we'll see you later," she said as she ran after them.
Rainbow looked at Twilight "They never change; Cutie mark or not,"
"Um yeah..." Twilight was dumbfounded by what she saw, they were definitely the Cutie Mark Crusaders only they had their Cutie Marks and they were much older. Twilight was in the future somehow, and she was married to Rainbow and had two kids. She assumed this much early last night, even with doubts, but she was sure now. Twilight just sighed out of frustration as her mind raced.
After a few minutes of mindless walking Twilight snapped back to reality at the sound of a school bell ringing. "Well here we are," Rainbow said giving the only slightly awake filly on Twilight's back a grin. “Up and at em kiddo,” Rainbow reached for Nocturne and picked her up giving her a midair hug and a kiss on the forehead. Twilight gave a smile, seeing Rainbow act motherly was really adorable. Twilight felt her heart grow warm seeing this side of Rainbow without her trying to hide it. It was normally reserved for Scootaloo and Tank.
Nocturne gave a weak smile as she received the hug from the Pegasus mother, holding on for her life, "M-mom too high!"
Rainbow just gave a snickered at her before putting her safely on the ground, "Someday I'll be able to take you flying and you won't be so scared,"
"Maybe someday, maybe I'll fly on my own!" Yes said running up to Twilight "Right mommy! I might become an alicorn too right?" She looked up at Twilight with a hopeful smile.
Twilight smiled back at her. "Well I guess if Cadence and I can, you can too."
The filly gave a hopeful hug to her mother's hoof and got a pet on her head by Rainbow, "Maybe someday kid," The bell rung a little bit after that and Cheerilee walked out of the school with her normal warm smile motioning then filly and colts to go into the classroom.
"Oh, I'll see you later moms and Sun!" The filly ran into the direction of the smiling teacher.
Sunrise looked at her two moms "So where to next mom?"
“Sweet Apple Acres," Rainbow smirked at her daughter. "I bet you know who is going to be there."
"N-no, I have no idea who you're talking about," The mare started walking in the direction on Sweet Apple Acres, trying to hide a blush followed by Rainbow Dash and Twilight.
Rainbow giggled as the three reached their destination, Sweet Apple Acres looked the same as Twilight remembered, there may have been a few more trees but Twilight wouldn't be able to tell either way. As she got closer to the barn she saw a familiar looking pony.
"Applejack!" Twilight said as they got closer.
Applejack looked up at them. "Oh howdy, what's up?" She smiled.
"Hey AJ," Rainbow Dash said smiling at her longtime friend. "We're just here to get some apples," Rainbow winked.
"Oh yeah they should be right around here somewhere," Applejack looked around her for some apples that were obviously nowhere around her. "Oh yeah, Golden should have them in the barn," she tilted her head. "Say Sunrise why don't you go see her,"
In no time at all Sunrise was in the barn leaving nothing but a small trail of dirt behind her. "Okay now that she's gone, have you got everything ready?" Rainbow said.
"Yes ah do, it's about as ready as it can be. Applebloom has been hard at work getting it ready and Rarity has got an amazing dress for her, shes putting Apple Ruby down for a nap right now she so she’ll be out soon,"
"Rarity?" Twilight asked
"Uh yeah Sugar Cube Rarity, my wife you know we've been married for eighteen years now,"
Rainbow smirked at her farm friend and hugs Twilight tight, "Ha me a Twi have been also twenty now!"
"Twenty!" Twilight shouted causing Rainbow to almost drop her.
"Whats all the yelling about? I just put a very cranky foal to bed and I won't allow her to be woken up!" A white unicorn intelligently trotted out of the apple family home. "Oh well if it isn’t the Sparkle family how are you both this beautiful morning?
"We're lovely,” Rainbow replied with a sarcastic tone smiling as she did it. "Twi’ here is having a midlife crisis is all,'
"Oh poor darling, I know how you feel I can't believe how old we've all gotten too,"
"Puff, old? Granny Smith wasn't 300 by the time she died, may she rest in peace, and we’re not even 40,"
Rarity put a hoof over Applejack's mouth, “Stop now I can't bear to listen to me getting old!" She leaned on Applejack in her diva fashion.
Applejack rolled her eyes, "Oh come now Raribear you're still as beautiful as the day I married you."
"Okay you two we just wanted to know if you had everything ready for Sun's party," Rainbow Dash interjected getting tired of the two's needless conversation.
Applejack gave a deep blush forgetting that the two of them were there, "Oh uh right we got everything here done, and Pinkie should have the cake done by now,"
"And the apples?"
"GOLDEN! DID YOU GET THE APPLES!?" Applejack yelling in the direction of the barn.
Two mares walked out carrying a small basket of apples, "Sorry mom," The taller earth pony said behind her Sunrise was looking at her lovingly. "Hey mom can Sunrise stay over for a while?" She asked giving the basket to Twilight which she took with her magic.
"Well I don't mind it, what about you Rari?"
"Not at all darling I have to go to work soon anyway, the dresses don't make themselves, but is it okay with Twilight and Rainbow Dash?
Sunrise gave them both pleading eyes, "Of course I don't mind, Twi?"
"Huh? Oh I guess it' alright,"
Sunrise and Golden Apple gave each other a smile, "Anyway we still have a few places to stop so we'll see you later," Rainbow said turning around and began to walk away with Twilight following close behind. "With Sunrise gone getting things for her party will be a lot easier," she said looking at the mare next to her.
"R-Right," Twilight said walking next to the pegasus who then nuzzled against her causing the alicorn to blush. As the two started their walk to Sugar cube Counter.
