"Lunar Eclipse fluttered her butterfly wings gracefully. With just a few flaps she was soaring. It. Was. Amazing. She truly believed that pegasi were the luckiest of the three types. (Alicorns exc

And the wings. Oh, the wings! They shined like gossamer and were as light as silk. And the colors!
They mixed every color of her perfectly. Her dark teal coat, her black mane, and her gold eyes. Lots of gold. Amazing.

"Guys!" she called to her sisters, "This is amazing! Look at my wings!"

Moonlight Dancer groaned and covered her eyes with a hoof. "You said that already. Like, less then a minute ago. And a minute before that, and a minute before that, and a minute before that-"

Lightning Dasher slapped a hoof over her twin. "Shut UP!" she growled. "You think I can handle TWO mares that won't be quiet? I've got enough trouble dealing with THAT egomaniac, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!"

Moonlight Dancer nodded and waited for her sister's hoof to come off. And when it did, she took her chance.

"-and a minute before that, and a minute before that, and a minute before that-"

Lightning snapped. Her wings flew open.

"I CAN'T TAKE IT ANY MORE!! I'M FINDING RAINBOW DASH!"

She jumped off like she was committing suicide. Down she fell. The ground fell closer and closer.... WOOOOSH!

In the last possible second, she let her wings catch air. She glided above the streets of Ponyville to her begin her search. Soon a cloud covered her from view. Lunar was humming contentedly.

"Lightning, dear, would you mind…….Where did she go?"

"To begin a marehunt. She'll be back when she's hungry."

Meanwhile, my dear filly, Flare Jumper was having an argument. With Thunderlane. Celestia help him.

"Honey," the argument began.

"Don't call me honey," Flare snapped.

"But I want to introduce you to Rainbowshine! And Cloudkicker!"

Flare stomped up to him. Next to Thunderlane was a light purple Pegasus with baby pink hair. Standing next to her was a mare about the same age as Sunset Climber and Lunar Eclipse, with a similar coat. She was snapping on a piece of gum, playing on a Neightendo DS.

"Hello," Rainbowshine began. "You must be Thunderlane's sister! I hear so much about you! Funny, though, you never had a husband. But how did you have so many fill-"

"Uhhh, Rainbowshine? How about you take Cloudkicker to meet her cousins?" Thunderlane spoke nervously.

As the other two mares left the building, he surveyed Flare carefully, like she was a bomb he had yet to diffuse.

"So," Flare began in a cold voice. "I'm your sister? And Rainbowshine is…………let me guess……………your wife?"

"Did you also tell her," Flare continued, her voice volume rising, "that you are a backstabbing, cheating son of a *sqeeeeee* that abandoned his previous family in search of more money? Or were you too busy tying the knot?"

"Honey, you know why I left! There wasn't enough money to support all of us, and the employment rate was going down! I never got to meet Lightning Quick and Moonlight Sonata!"
"It's Lightning Dasher and Moonlight Dancer," Flare growled.

"So I invited you guys and-"

He never got to finish his sentence.

"What the HELL were you THINKING? I was raising the children fine without you, and the suddenly you want us to VISIT YOU?

"We got nothing, not one single stinking FILLY SUPPORT CHECK! I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD! And yet, here you are, living in a cloud home with your RICH wife, successful JOB, and healthy FILLIES!

"I don't know why you would want us here, seeing as you've already got a PERFECT life here!

"You know what? I can't even stand to look at you. The children and I are finding somewhere else to spend the summer! As long as I don't have to see your stupid, rotten, no-good cheating face of a bum, I'm good! I'm going to pack!"

She spun out of the room, tears streaming down her face.

Thunderlane was going to need his ears checked. The dark red mare had almost broken his eardrums.
