Draconic Love

(Time Skip several agonizing hours later)

The mane six were sitting in the hospital waiting to hear the news about their friend sitting across from them were the dragons from earlier the room was deathly quiet one of the dragons and the hybrid were sitting on top of the other as he tried to claw his way into the delivery room to his wife. In the corner though the two children were playing Twilights daughter had brought some cards to play and the other one waited patiently for her to hand out the cards.

The doors to the room opened up walking out a mare with a golden coat and silver hair walked out in a pair of scrubs sighing she looked at the dragon on the floor smiling she asked "So Eon would you like to meet your son and daughter ?" looking up at her the dragon nodded smiling at him she looked at the dragons sitting on him motioning her head they got off him so he could shoot off into the room looking at the younger dragon she made her way over leaning down she whispered into her ear looking up Twilights daughter got up and made her way into the room to see her mother.

Looking over to the mane six the mare looked them over sighing she turned to the dragon giving him a quick kiss on his muzzle looking back at them she said "So are the six of yah hungry ?"

"Yes." they all answered the mare nodding she motioned for them to follow her looking at each other they were about to protest about staying until the mare gave them a cold glare then saying "They need some family time so come along." nodding their heads they began to follow the mare and the dragons out of the hospital.

(Dinner time)

Sitting outside on a porch over looking the ocean the mane six waited patiently for the food to come out sitting across from them were two of the hybrid children coughing slightly Fluttershy asked "So h-h-how old a-a-are the t-t-two of you ?"

"I'm around 114 years old my brother is 8 years old." Riptide said in a bored tone looking up at the stars he nudged his brother and pointed to the sky looking up he gasped quickly squeezing his eyes closed he muttered something quickly, the mares stared at the two of them slightly shocked at the ages and the age difference speaking up Rainbow Dash said "Your a 114 years old !"

"Yep I mean I'm about 86 years younger than my sister Sapphire she should be visiting in a few days.'

"Wait you have a sister that's 200 years old !?!?" Rarity gasped looking at the hybrid looking over to her he nodded his head saying "Yeah I mean my dad and mom waited a good amount of time to have each of us while Aunt Twilight well you can already guess at that."

"So what are your names ?" Rarity asked looking at the two dragon ponies across from them looking at each other they seemed to be having a mental conversation after a few moments they turned back to them smiling the Riptide introduced himself and his brother " My name is Riptide and my younger brother is Tidal Wave."

"Well its very nice to meet the both of you."

"It's nice meeting you all too." Tidal said nodding his head toward the six mares smiling at the young colt hearing a small clatter all the ponies sitting at the table to turn around seeing the mare and dragon making their way over to the table with a few bowls of food walking around Golden set two bowls down while her husband set another two down. Looking at the food set in front of them each reaching out and taking a piece of the variety of food that was placed in front of them the ponies thanked their host for the food smiling the mare gladly accepted the praises that soon followed afterwards.

After a few minutes of eating the elements looked at each other sharing a look that didn't go unnoticed by the host sighing she looked at the six ponies and asked "What is it the six of yah want tah know ?"

"Well Mrs. Ink we were just curious how you meet-"

"Husband Ms. Belle that is a very old story even some of the details have faded from my memory or are you curious why Twilight has come to live on this island with us ?"

"Well we're mighty curious about both factors but I feel you want tah know somethin' also " Applejack said staring at the mare trying to find a tell smirking she cocked her head to the right and gave a playful look before saying "I remember Twilight tellin her daughter and my son about her adventures as the element of harmony but about two maybe three years ago that a new element of magic was found.........I would love to know how that came to be since these elements bond to the hosts or so I heard."

"Well that is true but they also need a strong bond among the wearers of the elements." the unicorn with red and yellow streaks spoke up for the first time looking at her Golden smiled and said "But how did you manage to do that Ms. Shimmer from what I've heard you just seemed to pop up from no where.........as if by magic and all of a sudden you befriend five of the most powerful mares and become a new element."

"That's simple four years ago Celestia recruited me and dropped me off to do the same lessons as Twi-"

"Why would she do such a thing !" Bahumat snarled his pupils narrowing on the mare causing her to cower raising his head above them he continued "Did she not know what Twilight was facing from her own clan at the time !"

"Bahumat darling calm down this instant !" Golden spoke up raising her voice to catch her husbands attention lowering his head Bahumat's pupils widened looking into his wifes eyes he quietly whispered "I apologize."

"Now if you would continue Ms. Shimmer." Golden spoke looking back at the shocked mare who had turned a little paler after the outburst sighing Golden clapper her hooves in front of Shimmer getting her attention back on track "Please Ms. Shimmer continue your story my husband was merely voicing what we both were thinking."

"I-I-its okay but um I don't think she did, the Sparkles did seem rather upset about the disappearance........but um yes she found and contacted me at the school I had no idea what she had recruited me to do at first so went to the town and met these ponies..........who became my friends and comrades."

"Short and sweet I rather like that story but I do have one other thing I would like to know HOW did it happen."

"Its hard to explain but after a year and a half of living in that town I soon became friends with these mares, and then a bright light shone in front of me and the crown just appeared........after that I became the element of magic......well a surrogate until the real element came back i'm not as powerful as her but-"

"Its fine but from what I've seen your just as good as her but that's just me.......now girly your gonna listen and listen good Twilight is gonna give the actual answer about you tomorrow depending on her mood."

"O-o-okay but all can you answer something for us ?"

"I believe I could do that." Golden said leaning into her husbands shoulder sighing in relief as she felt the rough and warm scales brush up against her fur staring at the mare Sunset didn't miss a beat "Could you tell us how you met your husband ?"

"That my dear girl is a very long and old story but I suppose I could try remember exactly how it went." Golden said with a slight smile as she rubbed a hoof along her husbands forearm.
