Father's Day

"Okay fillies and colts, time for crafts! Can you guess what we'll be making?" asked Cheerilee to her class. Dusky Hex, a midnight blue unicorn colt, raised his hoof.

Cheerilee smiled, "Yes, Mr. Lulamoon."

"Cards for our dads." Dusky told his teacher, pointing towards the example in the back.

"Good observation skills! Now class, let's go to the back tables and start crafting!" instructed Cheerilee. Everypony cheered and rushed to the back. Of course, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon got the best spots at the table. Dusky Hex settled himself down near the back door. He never met his dad, and he'd never thought of asking the Great and Powerful Mom, Trixie, but he thought that maybe he was just away. Or that he was dead. Either way, he wasn't too concerned. After all, his mom was the most caring, coolest, and overall best in all of Equestria. After a few minutes, everypony was busy with crafts, so Dusky decided it was time for him to go home. The always did crafts at the end of the day anyways. He quietly opened the back door and slipped out. Of course, his mom was waiting for him at the edge of the schoolyard. She knew that he'd rather practice magic tricks with her than do some craft.

Trixie smiled as she saw him approach, opening up her arms for a hug. "How was you day, Dusky?" The two shared a quick embrace, and they started walking home.

"It was cool. We learned about cutie marks today. The craft today was making a card for Father's Day." he replied casually. A strange looked passed over the ex show mare's face. It quickly disappeared as she looked down on her son. There was no mistaking the two as family. Though his coat was darker, his mane and tail were the exact same colors as Trixie's. They had similar magic auras too. His was the shade of Trixie's eyes, and his eyes were the color of Trixie's aura. The pair arrived at their mobile home, and Trixie set up an array of items. A piece of paper, a quill, a table, and a boulder.

Trixie smiled and said, "Watch me, and then you try to do it." She narrowed her eyes as she focused her magic on the table. It was enveloped in a pinkish purple aura. It shuddered and then turned blue. She then took the piece of appear and pencil and wrote 'I love you' on it. Then put it on the desk. Finally, she turned her attention to the boulder. This part was the hardest. Transmutation. The boulder began to jerk violently as Trixie focused her magic on it. Then, with a sudden burst if energy, it turned into an apple, which was promptly put into the desk. It took a pretty talented unicorn to complete all the spells together, but Dusky Hex was almost as talented as his mother. After being defeated by Twilight Sparkle several times, Trixie realized that she needed to take magic seriously. She trained alone for ages at the mountains. When she finally returned to Ponyville, she ended up pregnant after she was raped by an unknown stallion. She was actually thankful for that stallion. Dusky Hex really made her fully realize the joys of being a mother. Ponyville forgave her for her previous actions because of him too. They saw how much she adored him, as all mothers do. She never told anypony about her son's father, or how she even ended up pregnant. She diverted all questions, and after he was born, everypony seemed to forget. Trixie was lost in the memory of how he came to be, so before she realized it, Dusky had reverted all the items to their former state and changed them back again.

"Mom, look at what I did!" he exclaimed. She looked upon his handiwork with awe. Dusky was sweaty and a little out of breath, but it was worth the look on his mother's face. The desk color was slightly off, and the hand writing was shaky, but it was by far the best work he'd ever done.

"Amazing! This means you get a special treat today!" Trixie told him, leading him inside the house. Opening the freezer, Trixie retrieved Dusky Hex's favorite ice cream: caramel nougat delight. She made a bowl and placed it on the table in front of him.

"Thanks!" cheered Dusky. He dug in, and savored every bit. Trixie went to the living area and relaxed in front of the TV. She heard the cleaning of dishes as her unicorn colt put the dishes away in the sink. He soon walked into the area and curled up next to his mom. There had been a question that he had always wanted to ask his mother, but he was afraid to ask it.

Trixie looked at her son sweetly, "Baby, I know you want to talk about something. Out with it." He sighed, and looked up at Trixie.

"Who was my dad?" He asked, curiosity finally over coming him.
