"What are we gonna do, what are we gonna do, what are we gonna do?!" Asked Snining Armor, clearly panicking as he was quickly pacing the floor.

Flurry Heart only giggled at her father's silliness as she held her little brother close. "What's so wrong, dad?"

Shining stopped and hung his head, letting out a long and heavy sigh before turning to face his daughter. "Your brother is a Changeling, Sweetie."

Flurry Heart nodded in understandment. "Like I didn't know that. Put an 'n' on 'a' and adorable before changeling. That would be more accurate."

Shining Armor rolled his eyes.

Night Winger blushed. "Awe, you think I'm adorable, sis?"

Flurry Heart nodded. "Of course you are!" She smiles, tightly hugging the changeling colt, nuzzling his cheek.

"But the thing with him being a changeling is that we can't exactly walk out the door with him. The guards would be alerted and a whole pile of complicated things will show up!"

Cadence giggles slightly. "You're overreacting, honey. Send a letter to Twilight. If anypony will help us, it's her and her friends."

This brought a smile to Shinings frown, thus turning it upside down. "Maybe you're right. Knowing Twilight, especially being my sister, She'll probably go out of her way to help us."

"Perhaps I should write the message. Your hooves would make for great massagers with how much they are vibrating."

Shining blushed, gazing down at his four hooves, seeing his wife was correct. The floor where he stood was rather scratched.

"Alright. I'll...keep an eye on our...kids..." Said Shining nervously, wishing he could smile at the sight of his son, but was only a reminder of how he came to be. He shuddered slightly and trotted over to the cuddling couple and Cadence began writing.

Night Winger smiled at his father's presence as he sat down on his haunches. "Hey, dad!"

"H-hey, sport. You said you're six, right?"

Night Winger tilted his head. "I've said that three times...are you just being silly?"

"Just...how is it you're younger than Flurry heart...your mother and I were married before we had her and..."

"And what?" Asked Flurry who tilted her head as well.

Shining sighed yet again, maybe for the hundredth time since his attacker's visit. "That's exactly it! I can't see, to figure out what."

Shining Armor furrowed his brows and scratched at his chin with a shaky hoof. Night Winger squirmed free from Flurry's hold and fluttered his way over to Shining, landing before him. He gazes up at him with curious eyes, wondering if he's always like this.

A moment later, Cadence trotted over to the trio of ponies. "Okay, I've sent the letter, she'll probably respond very-

Fwoosh!

"Soon..."

Cadance opens the letter in her pink aura of magic and begins to read. After a moments silence, Shining tilts his head.

"What did she say?"

"Ahem!" Cadence cleared her throat. "She says she'll be over shortly to discuss the matter. If we're not lying that is." Flatly said Cadence on the last bit. "I'll be willing to bet she threw that last sentence in there as a joke."

*****

After an hour or so of doing absolutely nothing, came a knock at the door which then began to glow purple before opening and Twilight entered.

"Hi, I'm here!" She says happily with a small wave of a hoof. "So what's this I hear about a changeling?"

Night Winger, noticing the presence of another pony took cover behind Shining Armor as he approached Twilight.

"Yeah, about that...you see...uh...heh heh...this is awkward..." Shining sort of began. "You remember mine and Cadence's wedding, right?"

"Well yeah, I don't think anybody there could ever forget! ...Why do you ask...?"

Again, Shining sighed and took a seat on his bed. Night Winger was fast to get into his lap.

"Oh, is this the little guy you mentioned?" Twilight asked, moving closer to see the trembling changeling who Shining holds close in his hooves.

"Yeah...did uh...Cadence mention that he's my son...?"

"SON?!?!" Twilight gasps, further more scaring the poor colt.

"I'll take that as a no..." Shining glared at Cadence who only shrugged at his...menacing gaze. "Well...not too long ago...Chrysalis paid us a visit and mentioned she...I think you get the rest..."

Twilight was stunned. A bit too much a speak as she now wore a tilted wtf face.

"She said she's been having trouble providing for her...subjects...and she left this little guy here who is a result of what she did." Shining closes his eyes, holding his son close and gently nuzzles him. "What are we gonna do, Twily? What if Celestia were to find out and make us get rid of him?!" Asked a teary eyed Shining Armor. "I...I know how to came to be...I know what he is...but he's my son and I love him...I've already missed six years with him..."

Twilight lowers her head a little in thought. "Maybe...sneak him out and try to make good between him and other ponies, and maybe good word word get out about him which Celestia will be bound to hear, and if she WERE to try and got rid of him, which I doubt she will, you'll have plenty of ponies to back you up, including me!" Twilight smiles.

Shining smiles back. "Thank you, Twily. I knew you'd help us."

Night Winger, hearing all of this becomes curious of Twilight. "So...are you my auntie, then?" He asks a bit shyly.

Twilight giggles. "Heh, I guess I am!" She smiles a bit more, and gently nuzzles the colt.
