Occult Rising

"Wait, what!?" Jet exclaimed as he set his soda down.

"Yea. Sorry, dad. You must be disappointed." Wind said, avoiding eye contact with her father.

"No, I'm very proud of you. You went through a lot and did exactly as I taught you. I'm just surprised we were in the death trance for almost a month." Jet said.

"Yea, you showed a lot of guts doing what you did to keep Equestria safe in our absence." Dash said.

Wind looked up with a smile on her face. She had been so worried that her parents would be upset about her not reviving them sooner. She got up and went to the their side of the table and pulled them into a big hug.

"Thanks mom and dad. I missed you guys so much." She said.

As she sat back down on the other side of the table, Scootaloo burst through the door of the diner. She looked at Dash and Jet and ran over. She picked them up in a huge hug and just held them for what seemed like forever. Scootaloo had never truly gotten over losing her big sister and brother. They may not have been blood related to her, but, they had treated her like she was.

"Hey, Scoots. Missed you too." Dash said as Scootaloo let them go.

Scootaloo had tears streaming down her face.

"I'm so happy you're back. I've been so lost without you two." Scootaloo said.

Jet hugged her again.

"It's okay, Scoots. We're back now and everything is back to normal." He said.

"But, how is this possible? We all saw you two die." Scootaloo said through her tears.

Sit down, get you something to eat and I'll explain everything." Jet said as he let Scootaloo go and pulled up another chair to their table.

After Jet explained what had happened, everyone decided to head home. Before he left, Applespice kissed Wind. As Wind and her parents headed home, Dash kept looking at her daughter. Wind noticed and looked back at her mother.

"What is it, mom?" Wind asked.

"I told you he liked you too." Dash replied.

Wind just sighed and continued to walk. She hadn't even been back to the house since they'd been gone. After clearing out the dust, the house was cozy and familiar to Wind. The memories from her childhood came flooding back to her. She embraced her parents in a bear hug.

"I missed you guys so much." Wind said as she began to cry.

Jet stroked her hair with the back of his hand.

"It's okay, honey. We're here and we're not going anywhere else ever again." Dash said as she hugged her daughter.

Just as they were getting settled in to watch TV, the doorbell rang.
