Unexpected Pegasus Love 2

As they progressed into the zoo, Rumble, Cloudchaser, Flitter, Thunderlane, and both of the boys parents felt their legs a little sore from all of that walking, but they weren't finished just yet. No, there was still more animals to see in this zoo. The last place they were still going down the Zebrican exhibit, which obviously, had to be the biggest part of this wondrous place.

Rumble wasn't really so mad at the lion. he knew it was just following his instincts, that was why he wanted to make mince meat out of poor little him. He did forgive the lion for almost killing him and try to eat him whole.

If not for Cloudchaser swooping down to his aid like a hummingbird swooping from the sky looking for nectar to drink, Rumble would have been done for, and a dead colt walking right now. Rumble really thanked her more than he ever did in his life, and felt like he should return the favor by giving her a special present.

But, in the meantime, there was still much for him and the rest of his family to enjoy, and so much to see around here. Not as much as when they first arrived her of course, but still so,e things left.

Cloudchaser, feeling a little worried that Rumble might have been scarred for life from that close encounter lion experience, asked him "You okay, Rumble?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks to you." Rumble replied with a smirk. Cloudchaser felt flattered to hear that from her husband.

"Good. I was just worried that you might get nightmares tonight."

"Nah, I've suffered worse pain. Remember my clipped wing a few months ago at the Wonderbolt Academy?"

"Oh yeah. I briefly forgot about that accident."

"You clipped your wing, sweetie?" Asked Sotr,y Wind with concern.

The colt was a little uneasy to say this, but he replied by saying "yeah, but that was kinda my fault. I wasn't being careful enough to see what kind of danger training can pose to me."

"Did it hurt ya, buddy?" Asked Lightning Strike.

"It hurt a lot when I clipped it. But I'm fine now. Don't worry mom and dad, these things happen, you know?"

"Fair enough." Said Lightning Strike. "To be honest, I'm kinda proud of you for that. You're tough. Just like your old man, huh?" And he made a hearty chuckle while pulling him close to his big body.

"Oh don't say that, dear." Stormy reprimanded him.

"I'm really sorry about that, Stormy. Really, I am. I never meant for that to even happen on the first place."

"No, it's okay, Cloud." Said Stormy with a smile. "Rumble's right, these thighs do happen. That's what they say about accidents anyway."

"Yeah, and what happened with the lion, it's all over now, mom." Thunderlane noted.

"I know. You're right, sweetie."

"So, after the zoo, what do you guys wanna do next?" Asked Lightning Strike

"I was thinking maybe we can go bowling, dad. Like what we used to do back in Cloudsdale when I was a colt, remember?"

"That sounds like a brilliant idea, Thunderlane." Flitter noted. "Even thought I never actually bowled before."

"Ah, it's easy." Said Cloudchaser. "And it's fun. I did it millions of times before. Although it's been an. Little while since I have wielded a bowling ball in a long time." She sounded a little embarrassed when she said the last part.

"I'm sure you still got it, Cloudchaser." Said Rumble reassuringly with a warm smile.

Cloudchaser smirked at Rumble before saying "yeah, I guess you're right. Heh, never know until we all try it for ourselves, huh?" And the others applauded and agreed with her.

"Sure. That would be fun." Said Rumble.

"Yep, bowling it is." Flitter said.

Ah, the Ponyville bowling alley. Another great place for family fun together. They could all hardly wait to try this out, and Pie to find the right bowling balls for them to play with and knock any pins down.

"Have fun you guys!" Said Pinny Lane. "Oh, and please don't kick the balls to try and get s strike. It can hurt somepony. Scootaloo did it once, and sue nopony got hurt, but she is banned from coming here ever again."

"Ah, we're too smart for that." Said Lightning. "We all know how to bowl the right way." And he pulled out a bowling ball of his choice. It was black, and a little bigger than the others' but it looked just about right for his stature.

"Whew. That's good. I would hate to be in a lawsuit for an injury." And she had a slight look of fear. "I'm kinda broken enough as it is." Said Pinny Lane.

"Don't worry, miss Lane." Rumble smiled and he added "We'll be careful, I promise."

"I know, I know. Enjoy the game."

And all of the family members went down to aisle ten, and they were all ready to play together. The first one to go first was Lightning, and he rolled his ball into a speed of light, and he got the first strike in this game.

"Whoo! I'm on fire, baby!" He boasted, doing a little victory dance.

"Oh dad, don't embarrass yourself." Thunderlane said with a raised eyebrow over one eye.

"Sorry. Okay honey, you're up next." Then Stormy Wind went up second, and she made her roll. Of course it wasn't as fast, but eventually, she got almost all the pins down, except for one, which was a seventh pin.

"Ooh, so close, mom." Rumble said. "You can do it."

"Thanks, sweetie." Said Stormy. She concentrated and cleared her mind on anything, but the final pin. With a small breath, she made her move again, and she was successful at striking the last one down, which was a spare.

"Nice going mom!" Said Rumble.

"Uh-huh, go Stormy." She floated in a Victory dance. "Shake that booty!"

"Ah! My eyes!" Cloudchaser said.

"Oh you kids." She said with a smirk. "Go ahead Thunderlane, it's your time to shine now."

"Sure thing mom." Thunderlane replied when he made his roll it was a seven/ten split.

"Ah man! Almost got it!" Flitter said. "You can do it!"

"I don't know about that, but I'll try." Thunderlane said. Carefully, he looked at which bowling pin to strike down, and he decided to go for the tenth one. It was a success on the pin, and it touched the seventh one in a rather light feeling. The seventh pin b fan to waddle and it was confusion whether or will fall, or stay put where it was before.

Improvising, Thunderlane used his front left hoof to stomp on the floor, really hardlike, and the impact caused the pin to fall down.

"Oh you cheated!" Cloudchaser teased. "I'm pretty sure that's cheating."

"No, it was not cheating. I promise you." Thudnerlane fibbed, and they all had a playful skeptical look on their faces like and didn't buy his story one bit.

"Ah you guys." Thunderlane said. "Okay Cloudchaser. It's all you." Then she promptly went up the lane, and she carefully pushed her ball with a hard shove and then she got herself a strike with that move.

Cheering wildly, Rumble went up to congratulate her. "You did it, Cloud!"

"I know! Okay little sis, you're turn, Now."

"Gotcha."

For Flitter it was rather a peace of cake. Even if not actually playing bowling in her life before, she was quickly getting the hang of this. When she threw her ball down the lane, she saw that only two were left standing, a ten and a nine.

"Wow, thatbwas amazing, Flitter!" Cloudchaser admired. "Are you sure this is your first time bowling here? Because that was a good through you did back there."

Flitter flushed at her sister's compliment and said "well, I don't know if I'm that good."

"Don't be so modest, silly." Cloudchaser shrugged. "Well anywho, go on, Rumble. It's all you now."

The colt was feeling a little nervous about this, but he realized it was just a game, nothing more. After all, it wasn't like all of Equestria would be there to watch him succeed or fail. Only his friends and family were there and that was pretty much it.

He picked up his ball. Which was the smallest one, thanks to his small size, and carefully aimed it at the center pin, and cleared his mind from anything, except the pins in front of him.

"The pins are my enemy." He muttered to himself. "You are one with the ball." Then he made his first move, but he accidentally got stuck with the ball as if glue attached him to it, and found himself rolling along with the ball, shouting "whooaaaaa!!!" At the top of his lungs.

He crashed onto all pins and felt a little dizzy being knocked out like that. Despite that little blunder, he actually succeeded in breaking all of the pins down.

Cloudchaser I'm,edistely went to his aid, and put him back on the chair. "You alright, buddy?" She asked him with a slight smile

"Yeah, I guess so." Rumble said. "What happened?"

"I have no idea, Rumble." Said Flitter. "But I think your hoof was too far inside the opening where you were going to throw it."

Then he heard a small crowd of ponies laughing at his little blunder. Feeling quite ashamed, he looked away from them so he could hide his face.

At first he felt humiliated but then he heard a round of applause and cheering for him, and the pain slowly faded away.

Pinny Lane went up to him, chuckling and said "Kid, that was amazing! Haha. And yet hilarious." Then she rubbed his mane. "Don't worry, we were laughing with you, not at you."

"Yeah, that was quite an act there. Look, you got a strike from that." Jeff Letrostki pointed out at the television keeping track of the scores. For Rumble, he was quite surprised that he got a strike for his first time, even if he didn't expect all of that to happen in the first place.

"Wow, I can't believe it." He thought to himself.

"Heh, didn't see that one coming, eh kid?" Said Cloudchaser while gently jabbing her elbow on his small body, making him emmit a small laugh from his mouth.

"Right. To think of it, that was rather funny." Rumble thought it over. To his surprise, he did think it was a little comical at the end of what he did.

"Well, come on family. Back to the game. Wouldn't want us to b kept waiting for a long time." Said Lightning. Then all of them laughed with him.

"Oh Lightning. You always love to win a drub it in everypony's faces, don't you?" Stormy Wind asked with a smirk on her face.

"No!" He protested. However, he couldn't really lie about it, and in defeat, he said "yes. It... kinda runs on my family." And he rubbed the back of his head in a sheepish gesture.

"Yeah, we see that in Thunderlane." Cloudchaser teased. "But yeah, back to the game." And they all started over with the second match. They were having so much fun together as one big happy family.

As the matches went on and on, Cloudchaser was the one who was victorious, Thunderlane was second, Rumble was the third surprisingly, but he didn't have anymore of those accidents like in the first match. Lightning Strike came in fourth, Stormy Wind came in fifth, and Flitter came in last.

Flitter didn't really cared because bowling wasn't really her thing anyway, and only cared about being with her family on this fine day.

"Wow Cloudchaser, you did a real good job out there." Rumble said

"Aww, come here you." And Cloudchaser pulled him on for a kiss, and both had their lips locked to each other. Thunderlane, Flitter, and the parents watched on happily at this warm moment between them.
