Arc 1- Introduction Arc- Chapter 2: Memories, Part 1

Twilight and her friends simply dropped their jaws as they stared at the shy mare. "You're... You're what...?"

Fluttershy turned red. "I... I'm going to have a baby." In the silence, a pin could've dropped and it would have been deafening.

The first noise was Rainbow shooting over to Fluttershy, followed by angered yelling. "THAT FUCKING DRACONAQUES HOW DARE HE STICK HIS-!"

Applejack slammed a hoof over her friend's mouth. "Rainbow Dash! Ah now you're mighty protective of Fluttershy but that's no reason to go swearing like a sailor!"

Pinkie rushed over to Fluttershy. "A BABY!? OH MY GOSH WE NEED A BABY SHOWER AND A CRIB AND-" She started rambling on and on about different baby supplies as the girls spoke.

Applejack stood strong with Fluttershy. "Everypony calm down. Fluttershy can make her own decisions, she's a grown mare."

Twilight nodded. "As much of a shock this is, Applejack is right. I trust Fluttershy."

Rainbow sighed. "A... All right, I trust you, Flutters."

Fluttershy blushed slightly. "Well, erm, what I said wasn't entirely true..."

Rainbow raised an eyebrow. Fluttershy breathed out a quick addition to her sentence. "I'm having twins."

Even the drama couch couldn't stop Rarity from fainting, who had previously just been staring at Fluttershy in shock.

Fluttershy held her little girl, Anomaly, in one arm, shushing her and rocking her while her own heart hammered in her chest. Discord was laying on the floor with her son, Enigma, on his back, softly giggling. Even the draconaques looked slightly nervous.

But neither of them could match the pacing and heavy breathing of Dr. Whooves. He looked like he could have a heart attack, which was understandable. Derpy Hooves was in there having his child, after all.

Fluttershy whispered to Anomaly, who was busy popping bubbles. Where the bubbles were coming from, Fluttershy had no clue. They had discovered early on that Anomaly had Discord's powers, though Enigma wasn't known to be able to use his powers.

Anomaly was a deep purple with a long string of a tail until it reached the end where a tuft of white with thin pink and yellow and light blue stripes, similar to her mane, sat. Her eyes were a soft brown. Her back left hoof was similar to her father's, yet it had purple scales and white talons. Her front two hooves were both purple lion paws. She, like Discord, loved to just float around instead of trotting. Her back right hoof was a normal purple hoof, by the way.

Enigma was a deep red with Fluttershy's teal eyes. He had a tail similar to Discord's though, it was light blue with the tuft being white with thin green stripes, like his mane. His front left hoof was a claw, yellow like his father's. Both of his back hooves were lion paws. They were yellow though. The remaining hoof was red.

Fluttershy gave Dr. Whooves a worrying look. "You need to calm down, Doctor. She'll be fine, she's always gotten through everything." Ever since Fluttershy had moved to Ponyville, Derpy had been a kindred spirit, giving the mare some muffins along with the mail.

The doctor started breathing even heavier. "Fluttershy, I appreciate the sentiment, BUT IT'S VERY HARD TO BE CALM WHEN YOUR WIFE IS HAVING A CHILD."

Anomaly started crying, and the bubbles popped. Discord sighed as he stopped Enigma from falling off his back. "Ugh, what made me think being here was a good idea? I could've been having fun making mischief and- OWWWW!" He yelped as Fluttershy stamped on his tail.

"Oh, honey, I'm sorry, what were you saying?" She said with a scary sweet smile as Anomaly started laughing again.

Dr. Whooves growled. "Not helping."

Suddenly, the doors opened and a mare stepped out. It was the nurse. "Mr. Whooves, Derpy is ready for you."

Dr. Whooves rushed to follow her. Discord and Fluttershy waited, the latter patiently and the former impatiently. Finally, after a while, the two came back out. They were red-eyed, most likely from crying tears of joy,

In one of Dr. Whooves' hooves, he held a tiny little foal. The foal's body was beige, yet looked more creamy. Its mane was like a lighter version of the Doctor's, nearly matching the older stallion's coat. It was an Earth pony, like its father. For some reason it reminded Fluttershy of copper.

Fluttershy smiled as the foal opened its eyes and revealed two golden circles. "What did you name...?"

"It's a boy," Derpy whispered, stroking the foal's mane, and smiling with one eye on the foal and one looking past at the Doctor's arm, "And we named him Stopped Clock."

Discord lifted an eyebrow. "Isn't that labeling your son as- OW!" He yelped as Fluttershy stepped on his tail again.

"That's a wonderful name." She smiled gently at the two. And she laughed as both Enigma and Stopped Clock made little gurgles in unison.

Twilight watched with a smile as her son, Arcane Circle, sat watching Pinkie's daughter, who was playing with Clock and Enigma and Anomaly. His eyes kept lighting up whenever her hair randomly caught fire (quickly put out by 'Auntie Twilight'). And then he would giggle when he watched Anomaly pop another wooden block onto the pile.

Pinkie's daughter, Candle Wish, had a pink body like her mother and had a yellow mane and tail like her father's shirt. She was an earth pony with green eyes. Her mane and tail were so curly she put her parents to shame. Arcane, however, was a dark navy blue with a light purple mane and tail that had a single yellow streak in each. He was a unicorn, and had pink eyes.

Clock and Enigma looked like they were already best friends, ganging up on Anomaly in the baby games they played. Candle and Anomaly seemed to have opposing ideas, constantly trying to knock down and build the block castle at the same time.

She laughed as she watched Anomaly barrel into the block tower, much to the others' delight. Except for Candle, who wailed and started trying to hit Anomaly. Twilight grew concerned as Anomaly started hitting back. Yet before she could do anything, a weak pink magic aura surrounded the two to pull them apart.

She swung her gaze around, trying to find who had used the magic- And landed her gaze on the pink glowing horn on her son.

"Num?" Arcane mumbled.

Arc 1- Introduction Arc- Chapter 3: Memories, Part 2

Pinkie swung her head around as she heard a new music course through the air. Before, a pop song had sung it's tune, while now a country rhythm played.

She soon found the source in the phonograph the party pony had been using, which currently was sitting on a small table- right next to baby Smooth Tune, her son. Him and Applejack's little girl, Ambrosia, waved their arms around in a little kid kind of dance.

Speaking of Applejack, Pinkie had been celebrating the mare's birthday party. She had also planned on worming out who Ambrosia's father was, but that was one secret (perhaps the only secret) the farmer was good at keeping.

She narrowed her eyes at the two and rushed over, putting her hoof on the disc- at the same time as her son. She opened one eye wide. "So you wanna play, huh? Staring contest, winner chooses the music."

Applejack stared at her, hefting her daughter in a hoof. "Uh, Pinkie-"

"SHHH!" The two stared at each other.

Applejack had to admit, it was eerie watching the small gray blue-haired earth pony with blue eyes and the party mare stare at each other in silence that made her skin crawl.

Her Ambrosia, with her orange coat and green mane and red eyes, was an Earth pony as well as her mother, and she giggled as she watched the two.

Finally, Pinkie's eyes fell closed and she groaned as the foal squealed in laughter, blinking. "Darn you're excellent staring skills!" She took her hoof off the record, and the country tune continued playing.

Ambrosia giggled and laughed.

Rarity wailed to Rainbow as she stamped out another green fire. "Oh Rainbow darling, you wouldn't believe the amount of fabric he's burned!" She gestured to the small dark green creature next to her. Similar to a changeling, his dark shell was a very dark green, with purple bands around his waist. His wings, while holy and see through, were shaped like a dragon's, and sharp teeth lined his muzzle. This was Dragonfly, Spike and Thorax's son.

Rainbow rolled her eyes. "I can believe it. He is Spike's son after all." She zoomed after her daughter, Quick Draw, as the dark blue filly flew by. Her tail left a streak of yellow behind her. Her bright magenta eyes glowed with childish joy. "At least you don't have to chase after his baby on a daily basis, Rares."

Rarity laughed. "Fair point. Babysitting is much better than actually having a kid!" She picked up Emerald and stuffed a pacifier in his mouth as a small jet of green flames started to glow in his mouth, promptly cutting it off.

Suddenly a large zap! and a crash! interrupted them, and they turned to see Discord crashed into the wall near them, Anomaly sitting on the ground near him and giggling cheerfully. "You have no idea..."

The mares busted out laughing.

Anomaly glared at her brother and his best friend Clock. "You two are so boring..."

Clock rolled his eyes as he set down a card. "We are not. We just like different games than you."

Enigma looked through his hand of cards. "I mean, c'mon, who doesn't like Uno?"

The three were currently sitting in the middle of the twin's living room, playing said video game, trying to ignore the pink elephant having tea with Angel Bunny Jr. in the next room.

The walls were glass, so they could see every tantrum Angel Bunny Jr. threw and every time the pink elephant trumpeted and a burst of confetti shot out.

That was Pinkie's idea.

The female draconaques snapped her fingers, removing the cards, and teleporting them into an elaborate house of cards. She ignored as a jack opened the window and started yelling at them. And as her brother and Clock yelled at her too.

"Hey! I was just about to win!" Enigma pouted and crossed his front legs.

Clock snorted. "Yeah, totally."

Anomaly rolled her eyes. Fluttershy entered the room, peanut butter sandwiches resting on a platter. "Now now, Anomaly, you should've let them finish their game."

She pouted. "But they're so boring," she groaned, stealing a sandwich off the plate.

"Are not." The two chorused.

Anomaly stared at them. "Don't do that it's creepy."

The two grinned. "I don't what you're talking about."

"Stop it!"

The two busted into giggles. Anomaly sighed. "If you want to prove to me you're not boring, use your magic to take apart the card house."

Her brother frowned, and Clock glared at her. "Don't be a jerk, Lee."

Suddenly, they were interrupted as the door slammed open, Rarity entering. "Oh Fluttershy darling, it's an emergency!"

The mare jumped, squeaking. "R-Rarity!? What's wrong!"

"Derpy's baby is coming, now!"

Clock's eyes widened and he turned to his best friend. "Oh no, we have to go now!" Panic showed in his voice.

Nine-year-old Enigma placed his claw on Stopped Clock's shoulder. "Don't worry, I promise we'll get you there! I promise!" On his last word, he stomped his hoof, and all of them vanished in a flash of light, appearing at the hospital.

Clock gasped and gripped his best friend in a bear hug. "Thank you so, so, so much!" From there he rushed inside, where his father was pacing.

Anomaly slapped her brother on the back and smirked. "Good job, bro."

Her brother only sported a goofy smile, a slight blush on his cheeks.

Arc 1- Introduction Arc- Chapter 4: Crazy Day

Quick Draw and Smooth Tune, the ones who had been arguing, got up and started yelling at Arcane Circle. "Dude, why did you blow us up!?"

Quick Draw snorted. "Says the guy who used butter for a slide."

Smooth Tune glared at her. "Hey, at least we had fun!"

"Did not!"

"Says the mare who screamed 'THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER!'"

"Shut up!"

Luckily, before the two could maul each other to death, Twilight's son, Arcane Circle, grabbed them in his pink aura. "Do not brawl. It does not matter if we don't have the churned product of fermented cream or milk, we still had enough materials to create a satisfactory morning meal."

Stopped Clock stood up, letting out a small laugh. "Yes, but you thought exploding was the best option to get them to stop fighting? The breakfast is ruined."

He blinked. "So it is. For the explosion, I decided the best way to both distract them and get them to stop fighting was to make a loud noise that knocked them off of their hooves. Product: An explosion."

Enigma pulled his sister out of a vase. "You're insane, Arcane."

Anomaly smirked. "Heh, that rhymed."

Twilight let out a loud laugh. "You guys are ridiculous!"

Moonstone put a hoof to her chest. "Please, Aunty Twilight, I did my best to control them!"

"Read as: I watched and laughed." Candle Wish said, standing next to her brother Smooth Tune.

Just then, Cosmo, Stopped Clock's little brother, came out of the kitchen, a breakfast fortunately not charred in his hooves, and gave it to Twilight. "Expected something like this, so I made extra."

Twilight laughed. "As much as I'm enjoying this, what's the occasion?"

Ambrosia raised an eyebrow. "According to Arcane it's y'all and Uncle Flash's anniversary," she said in her country accent.

There was a moment of silence.

"Shit."

"I don't see the big deal," Anomaly said, floating above her brother, "It's just another day of the week."

Enigma snorted. "The day somepony gets married is one of the most important days in your life. Ponies want to celebrate that as long as they can, forever!"

Anomaly frowned. "Then why don't they celebrate their anniversary every day?"

Clock smiled. "Would you want to buy roses, tons of presents, and plan an entire special day for your loved one every day without a rest?"

"Fair point." The three were heading their way towards Clock's house. It may have looked like a normal cottage, but really, it was bigger on the inside.

Ba-dum-tss.

"Aunty Pinkie?" Enigma asked, raising an eyebrow as the mare put away her drum set.

The mare waved as she trotted away, humming. "Nothing Enny!"

He groaned. "Even she calls me that!?"

Anomaly grinned. "It's your fault for not telling her to stop."

He frowned. "I couldn't do that! No one wants to make Pinkie cry, that's be awful!"

The Pegasus beside him chuckled lightly. "That's just like you."

Soon they arrived at the house, and Clock turned to give Enigma a hug. "I'll see you later, Enigma!" After the bear hug he let go, tail swishing, and entered his home, giving the two draconaqui a look into the impossibly sized building before they turned to start leaving.

Anomaly groaned. "You two are so weird."

Enigma rolled his eyes. "You're ridiculous."

"You're so touchy-feely..." She cringed like she'd been stung. "Ick."

Her brother sighed. "That's because you hate contact. You once stayed in your room for like three days one time."

"Four." She corrected.

Her brother sighed. "If you don't like following us around then why do you do it?"

Anomaly crinkled her snout. "I honestly have no clue."

Smooth Tune raised a button on his turntable slowly, and grinned. "Yeah, yeah, that's it."

Ambrosia chuckled as she adjusted her headphones in the sound booth. "Tune, as much as Ah appreciate the music, when am Ah actually gonna sing?"

The gray stallion rubbed the back of his head. "Oh, sorry. Alright, I'll reset the track, get ready."

The mare nodded and started moving her head to the beat, her blonde hair bouncing. "Ooh, oo-oo-oo-oooh, oo-oo-ooh-ooooh, OHH! Ah can feel your heart poundin' in your chest, Ah know that you've been tryin' your best, but you can do it, you can do it, oh oh! Ah see that special glint in your eye, Ah can feel you've got that spice of life, it's what you do, it's what you do!

Put your hooves in the air, as you shout out your flair, you're a star that shines so bright, you've always had that kind of light! Show me the power that you hold, with your heart made of Gooold!"

There was a moment of just the beat.

"Get ready to fight, or just flight, I can feel your fear, but I know you'll survive! So just let go of the worries that slow you down, cause you, you, are rockin' your crown! Your the star of the show, get ready to blow, you fly so high, like the stars in the sky!"

"Ay, ay, ay, ay!"

Smooth Tune raised a hoof in the air. "Cut!"

The mare removed her headphones and raised an eyebrow. "What went wrong?"

The stallion chuckled. "Nothing, it was awesome! Well... I just think you need to change that last e into an f."

Ambrosia nodded. "Got it. One more time?"

Smooth Tune grinned. "You got it."

The party ponies' son replayed the track once more.

Rarity hugged her sister tightly, practically choking her. "Oh Sweetie Belle, it's so good to see you!" She nodded at the stallion standing awkwardly in the doorway. "And you too, Button darling."

"Rarity!" Sweetie Belle squeaked out. "You're crushing me and the baby!"

She backed off, patting Sweetie Belle's stomach in the process. "Sorry, sorry. Do you know what gender it's gonna be?"

Button Mash moved forwards, moving to rub against Sweetie Belle. "It's a girl."

Rarity squealed. "Oh, my friends are not going to believe this when he hears it!"

Her sister groaned. "Please don't! When you told them you were pregnant, Twilight had to teleport us in. From 50 feet away!"

The fabulous mare blushed. "Oh well, you know how protective my friends can be."

"Oh yes, yes we do." At the door stood Applebloom and Scootaloo.

Scootaloo rolled her eyes. "We're gonna be just as protective over Sweetie Belle, aren't we, Bloom?"

The farmer sniffed. "Absolutely!"

Arc 2- Part of The Band- Chapter 1: Strings The Stalker

"What's that you're humming?" Bon-Bon asked, handing Ambrosia a bag of candies.

The mare's eyes widened and she looked to the side. "Ah-Ah have no idea what y'all are talkin' about!"

The mare chuckled. "Just like your mother, Ambrosia. You're a horrible liar."

Ambrosia sighed. "Alright, alright. It's a tune Smooth came up with."

The candy seller grinned. "Well it's lovely, send my compliments to him!"

The mare nodded. "Will do!" She turned to exit, yet outside the door, was Golden Strings, smiling brightly. She was a navy blue Earth pony with a gold mane, along with white highlights.

"So... I heard Tuney made that beat. Do you think you can get him to play with me~?" She grinned cheekily.

The farmer sighed. "Strings, get over it, he doesn't like you."

The mare glared at her. "Of course he likes me! He just doesn't know it."

"Strings, his parents are considerin' a restrainin' order."

She scoffed. "It's just words on a paper. With some white-out and a bonfire such things can go up in smoke!"

Ambrosia rubbed her forehead. "Look, Ah don't have time for this. Ah have to get back to the farm. See ya later, Golden." She wandered off, leaving the crazy mare plotting.

"Why, of course he loves me... It's just the same as humans are real..." She cackled.

Her brother, Hot Chocolate, bonked her on the head with a cup of coffee. "Bad Golden, no more coffee and candy before six AM."

She growled at the stallion. "Shouldn't you be off sucking White Snow's d-"

"Shh...." Her brother used his light blue magic to shut her mouth. "Just stop talking. It's not good for your health."

The mare stormed off, muttering as soon as her brother let go of her muzzle. "'Not good for your health' my ass."

Smooth Tune had the strange feeling of being watched. And so he immediately closed and locked all his windows. "There is no way I'm letting that crazy mare get anywhere near me."

"You really need to get a better defense system." The stallion whirled around to see Hot Chocolate sitting on his couch. "I snuck in faster than Rainbow Dash can clear the sky."

"H-How did you get in here!?" The stallion gasped, looking for any entry.

He chuckled. "Relax, I blocked the way I got in so I have to forcibly teleport out. But seriously, if you don't want my sister stalking you do something about it!" The brown-coated stallion took a sip from his coffee.

"You're super bad at this, Tune." The two stallions looked up to see White Snow lying on the rafters. "She's probably already in your house at this point."

"BUT HOW-"

"It's true." Golden Strings' voice came from his closet, which she peeked out of.

"GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!"

Candle Wish stared at her brother. "What."

The male frowned. "I need you and Cosmo to make a machine that keeps people but me and whoever I choose enter the room."

"That's not how it works."

"But- You guys are always making some awesome machines that do awesome stuff!" Her brother whined.

"It can't do that." She glared at him.

"Can magic do that?" He asked hopefully.

"No." Twilight said as she peeked out of the kitchen.

"A-Aunty Twilight, what are you doing here?" Tune asked.

"I need Pinkie's help baking something for Cadance and Shining Armor, they're coming over for a visit!" The mare answered before retreating back into the kitchen.

Smooth Tune blinked. "Huh. So, you can't do anything to keep ponies out of my room?"

His little sister shook her head. "Nothing." But then, she smirked. "But then, no one wants to come into your room when you and Ambrosia are alone up there~"

His face turned bright red. "Sh-Shut up! You know it's not like that."

She put a hoof to her chest. "Of course I know that, but other ponies don't. And they start talking."

Smooth rubbed his forehead. "Oh great... Can you please dispel this rumor?"

"Yeah, and tell them The Scarecrow is you and Ambrosia? Totally. You'd hove mobs outside the bakery door everyday!" She rolled her eyes.

The gray stallion grinned at his pink sister, and pushed his sister's yellow mane out of the way as he started walking towards his recording studio. "Thanks for saying we're so popular. Ambrosia should be here for recording in a few minutes, let her in, will you?"

Candle Wish grumbled. "Ugh... Alright Strings, go ahead."

The mare popped out from behind a box and giggled gleefully before rushing after him. The filly smiled evilly as she watched her go. "Shows you not to mess with me, big brother. HAHAHAHAHA!"

"SWEET CELESTIA HOW DID YOU GET IN HERE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHH!"

Ambrosia knocked on the door, waiting patiently for it to open. She was excited, Tune had said he had a great track planned out. However, a voice from behind her interrupted her train of thought. "Do tell me, what do you two do alone up there?"

The mare sighed and turned to greet her other best friend. Country Beat, light gray like a cloud with a dark purple mane, was standing behind her, a smirk on her face. "Howdy, Country."

The mare chuckled. "That doesn't answer my question, Amber. Don't be evasive, I know you two get up to something up there. Alone... In his room... Just you and a (while not my type) handsome stallion..."

Ambrosia turned red. "S-Stop it! It's not like that!"

"Then what is it like?" The musician mare asked. "Don't keep secrets from me, Amber."

The farmer groaned. "Okay, okay, but y'all have to promise not to tell anybody!"

Country Beat stood up quickly and rushed forward, eyes sparkling. "I promise! You gotta tell me, what was your first time li-"

Ambrosia let out a loud squeak. "COUNTRY!"

The mare busted into giggles. "Sorry, sorry. Say what you were gonna say."

The farmer lowered her voice. "Me and Smooth Tune are The Scarecrow."

Her eyes widened. "No. I don't believe you. Show me proof!"

Behind them the door opened, and Candle's voice came from inside. "Hey Ambrosia, Tune's upstairs waiting for you. Sorry it took a while, Strings was here."

Ambrosia nodded. "Ah, understandable. C'mon, Country."

However, when they tried to go inside, the filly reached up to put a hoof on the musician's chest. "Does she have clearance?"

The farming mare chuckled. "She can come with me, Candle."

Candle nodded before she turned and closed the door, yawning in the process. "Why do these recording sessions have to be so late...?"

The two mares walked up the stairs, and Country gasped as the door opened to reveal a full-fledged recording studio, with two sound booths, a turntable, a control panel, and plenty of other cool stuff.

Smooth Tune turned as they entered, clutching some drink in his hoof. Iced tea maybe? "Ambrosia, ah, you're here! Guessing you finally gave in and told her?"

Country sounded like she was dying, wheezing in pain. "OH MY CELESTIA YOU GUYS ACTUALLY ARE THE SCARECROW HOLY FUDGE CAKES!"

The stallion sighed and turned to the turntable. "Alright. Amber, get in the sound booth when you're ready, Country try not to freak out too loudly."

Ambrosia entered the sound booth, and put the headphones on. Smooth started moving dials and pressing buttons until a beat started moving through the air. Smooth nodded, and the farmer started singing.

"Ah'm movin' slow, no where to go, but you're watchin' me like a scarecrow. Watch me move, let's start to groove, and yet you keep watchin' like a scarecrow. Oh oh oh oh, just like a scarecrow, just like a scarecrow, oh oh oh oh, now watch out for this crow."

A beat filled the air, yet soon Amber's melodious voice continued singing. "Ah'm dancing through, this tornado ooh, floatin' above the barren cornfields. This hurricane, is startin' again, and it's all about to blow DOWN!"

The beat started up again, and the stallion and singing mare danced along. "Ah'm movin' slow, no where to go, but you're watchin' me like a scarecrow. Watch me move, let's start to groove, and yet you keep watchin' me like a scarecrow. Oh oh oh oh, just like a scarecrow, just like a scarecrow, oh oh oh oh, now watch out for this crow."

"Ah'm flyin' through the atmosphere, the sky is clear, Ah can see you down below, can you feel the turbulence? Get ready, Ah'm 'bout to show you why you should learn to fly, we're gonna soar through the sky! Oh oh, oh oh, let's show what we can do, we're about to blow through!"

"Ah'm movin' slow, no where to go, but you're watchin' me like a scarecrow. Watch me move, let's start to groove, and yet you keep watchin' like a scarecrow. Oh oh oh oh, just like a scarecrow, just like a scarecrow, oh oh oh oh, now watch out for this crow."

The beat ended, and Ambrosia exited the sound booth. "How was that?"

Smooth Tune smiled. "It was excellent! The tone was perfect, and I could really feel the emotion! I also think Country appreciated it," he gestured to the mare, who was lying unconscious on the floor with a dazed yet joyous look on her face.

Ambrosia laughed. "Definitely."

"Agreed." Strings said, grinning while sitting on Smooth Tune's chair.

"GET OUT!!"

Arc 2- Part of The Band- Chapter 2: Rumors Run Rampant

Ambrosia Apple stretched, popping the bones in her leg as she stood in her room. Like the rest of her family, her room was simplistic, just a bed with a closet and family photos. The sun was barely even above the horizon, and any pony other than an Apple was probably still sleeping.

Or in other words, any sensible pony was probably still asleep.

But knowing Applejack and Apple Bloom or even Granny Smith, sensible wasn't part of their vocabulary.

Anyway, the young farmer rubbed her eyes as she headed downstairs for breakfast. The floors creaked softly under her hooves, and when she reached the dining room she paused for a second. Just for a moment, almost a millisecond, she could see Honey Crisp and her Great-Granny Smith murmuring to each other, before their heads shot around, so fast they might've gotten whiplash and they started whistling.

Suspiciously whistling.

Ambrosia raised an eyebrow as she sat own at the table, picking up a pancake in the process. "So... How is y'all mornin'?"

Applejack smiled. "Perfectly perfect, pardner. 'Cept Honey Crisp and Granny over there were whisperin' somethin' awful!"

The two gained a guilty expression on their face, and the Apple glared at the two. "Yeah, Momma, and they stopped right as Ah entered the room. Ah bet it was somethin' 'bout me."

Big Macintosh raised an eyebrow from his seat. "Eeyup. Was it, Honey?"

The soft red, nearly pink mare shuffled uncomfortably in her chair. "Well..."

Granny Smith sighed. "Oh alright sonny, it was. We were talkin' 'bout a rumor goin' round."

"What rumor?" Ambrosia said, tensing up.

"Well..." The old mare said. "You do go visit that Tune boy late at night too often for ponies not to notice, dear..."

Ambrosia turned red. "GR-GRANNY! It is not like that!"

Honey grinned. "You're blushin' face says otherwise."

The young farmer stood up. "Y'all know what, Ah'm full, Ah'm gonna go start bucking the apple trees." She left the farmhouse in a hurry, sweeping past her Uncle Caramel as he entered the building, to his confused expression, but she just kept going.

Ah probably shouldn't have overreacted, she thought, but Ah can't believe even my own family's whisperin' 'bout me behind my back.

She turned around and kicked out as she neared a tree, and heard the satisfying thumps of the apples falling into the buckets set there last night. They know Ah'm not like that, Ah'm not that kind of gal!

Kick. Thump, thump, thump. And my cousin of all ponies! Ah've trusted here with some of my biggest secrets!

Kick! Thump, thump, thump. And she had the nerve to go behind my back and talk about me like some kind of whore!? Ugh, that's it, Ah just wanna-

SLAM. Crack! Ambrosia turned, huffing, and stared at the fallen tree. "Damn it."

"Wow, what did that tree ever do to you?" Ambrosia looked up to see Quick Draw's dark blue coat, saddlebags also adorned, and the mare flew down to greet her.

The farmer sighed. "Nothin', Ah'm just upset."

Quick laughed a little. "Yeah, I could tell. It's called sarcasm."

The blonde-maned singer sighed softly. "Look, Draw, Ah have to buck the apple trees, can y'all bother me later?"

The other mare gestured to the tattered tree. "I don't think that's a good idea. C'mon, I'm sure you can take a break. Your mother did it all the time with her friends. And it was just her and Big Macintosh!"

Ambrosia chuckled. "You're right. Ah think Ah can take a small break."

The two started leaving Apple Acres, the sun now shining brightly a bit over the horizon. "Ah gotta ask though, why are you up so early?"

Quick Draw gestured to her saddlebags. "I've got a hot new scoop I've been dying to share, so I took over Derpy's mail run this morning on the agreement they still pay her for this."

The mare tensed, smiling nervously. "What is that scoop?"

The white, light-gray, and darker shade of light-gray maned mare kept on walking. "'Hometown Ponies Smooth Tune and Ambrosia: Secretly Music Sensation The Scarecrow?'"

Ambrosia's nervous smile fell. "Q-Quick Draw, where did you hear that!?"

The mare's eyes narrowed. "I'm not really supposed to say that Strings tol- OH MY CELESTIA AMBER I FORGOT I WAS TALKING TO YOU!"

The farmer turned and ran. She was angry. Very angry. So angry that her vision clouded and she didn't notice anyone in front of her.

Slam. "OW!" Ambrosia shook her head and looked up to see Smooth Tune. "Smooth!? What are you doing awake this early!"

The stallion jumped up and helped the fallen mare stand. "I have to get to Quick's house before Strings gets there and tells her about The Scarecrow!"

Ambrosia shook her head. "It's too late, Smooth. Quick Draw's already told most of Ponyville at this point."

"This is all my fault!" Tune said, stamping a hoof.

"Your fault?" The farmer asked.

"Strings told me she'd tell all of Ponyville we were The Scarecrow unless... Well the unless isn't important." The musician cast his eyes to the side.

Quick Draw appeared, looking very guilty. "I'm so sorry! By this time, everypony's already read the paper!"

Tune rubbed his forehead. "It's alright. I guess. Actually it's not but whatever."

The mare frowned. "Look, I'm really sorry!"

"It's alright," Ambrosia mumbled. "You go find Strings and bring her to Sugar Cube Corner later. We're gonna go see if Aunt Pinkie will let us hide in her Party Cave!"

"We are?" Smooth Tune asked.

"Yes, Smooth, we are." She grabbed his hoof and pulled him along as she ran to Sugar Cube Corner, crashing through just as Pumpkin Cake opened and unlocked the front door.

"Geez, Amber, you want your morning coffee already?" She laughed.

She shook her head. "No. Y'all see-"

"Strings told Quick Draw about you two being The Scarecrow, and she sent out the paper's already?" Pound Cake asked, leaning his head out the kitchen window.

"How'd you know!?" Smooth asked.

"We told them," came a voice, and the two whirled around to see White Snow and Hot Chocolate sitting at a booth, having the 'Couple's Breakfast Special', which is the same as the normal special except it's two for one and the pancakes are heart-shaped. Hot Chocolate had a large coffee gripped in his magic aura, and White Snow gave them a little wave.

"Chocolate, Snow, what are you doing here so early? And even before the shop opens?" Tune asked, raising an eyebrow.

"They're always here right when we get downstairs," Pumpkin laughed. "Luckily, they've assured me it's impossible for anyone but them to get in."

The brown-coated stallion took a bite of his pancakes, coated in syrup . "So, you guys are looking on how to get into the party cave?"

The farmer raised an eyebrow. "You guys know how to get in?"

The two looked at her for a moment. "Of course we do. There are entrances all over the place. Snow, if you would."

The jewelry maker laughed and nodded, walking over to the counter. "I'm kind of shocked more ponies don't accidentally stumble in." He poked a cherry on one of the cakes, and the floor beneath Snow, Ambrosia, and Smooth opened up, the coffee guzzling stallion leaping in after them.

It was pure darkness for a moment as Smooth and Ambrosia yelled, until they landed in a pile with a loud, "OOMPH!"

Except for the Pegasus of the group, who started helping them up. "Too bad none of you have wings."

"Suck it, Snow," The unicorn said, rolling his eyes.

The white stallion smirked. "Isn't that what you do, babe?"

Smooth Tune and Ambrosia busted out laughing as Hot Chocolate went red, and after Snow flipped a light switch, the mare and stallion gasped.

"Woah..." Tune said softly. "This is awesome..."

It was chaos, yet a beautiful chaos, controlled chaos. There were giant pieces of candy, cabinets filled with files, a slide, pink lanterns, and a general collection of all things Pinkie Pie.

Ambrosia went over to a cabinet and pulled out a few files, looking through them. "Each of these has all the things anyone wants for their birthday! Even some fears, too. Wait... Aunty Twilight is afraid of... Quesadillas?"

The chocolate-coated stallion grabbed one of the files. "Snow, even you have a file! Let's see..."

The pegasus swooped in and grabbed the file, coughing and blushing as his boyfriend raised an eyebrow. "You're hiding something, aren't you?"

"I have no idea what you're talking about!" the pure white stallion stuttered, hiding it behind his back.

Hot Chocolate chuckled. "You forgot that I'm a unicorn, love." He grabbed the file, and opened it, reading it silently.

As he read it his eyes slowly widened from their half-asleep state to fully open, a are thing at that, as his smile grew wider. Meanwhile, White Snow rubbed his arm, embarrassed, as a nervous smile adorned his face.

Chocolate finished reading and gently closed the file, a soft smile and loving gaze on his face. "I'll wait," he said softly to the Pegasus.

The two kissed, while the other two ponies in the room glanced at each other in confusion, thinking the same thing. 'What just happened?'

Author's Note

I'll let you think about what the file said.

Don't worry, a lot of things will be the same, but some tweaks, changes, and adjustments, as well as totally new ideas, are going to be added. I still have to get all my ideas in order and everything, but when it is done, I will update this story once more to let you know, and you can all read the updated thing! See you in another story, friends!

Arc 1- Introduction Arc- Chapter 1: Morning

Twilight fluttered her wings and laughed as Pinkie told her a joke about balloons. She felt the warm sunshine on her back, and smiled, closing her eyes as the girls chatted. Rainbow poked Twilight to get her to open up her eyes again and waggled her eyebrows. "So, when are you gonna admit your feelings for Flash?"

That received uproarious laughter from her friends as she blushed and sputtered. "I-I have no clue what you're talking about!"

Fluttershy put a hoof to her mouth. "Hehehe, well at least you're not like Rainbow. She's practically a tomato she's so red when Quibble's around."

The said mare spluttered with red cheeks, and tried to hide it by focusing on eating her sandwich. Twilight blinked as she watched Rainbow's stomach grow slightly. "Um, Rainbow... You- Gah!" She gasped as she saw that all of her friend's stomachs started bloating up.

"Are you alright, darling?" Rarity asked, raising an eyebrow.

"You- You- ME!" She had just noticed, yet it seemed her belly had grown as well.

She turned to Fluttershy as she opened her mouth, ready for the kind mare's advice when an entire different thing came out: "WE NEED MORE BUTTER!!"

Twilight awoke with a jolt and a "GAH!" She turned to her husband, still deep asleep, mumbling gently. She rolled her eyes and pricked her ears as she heard voices coming from below her.

"What do you mean we need more butter!?"

"What I mean is that used too much on your stupid butter slide!"

"Don't complain, you definitely weren't when you slid down it!"

"Shut up!"

Twilight rubbed her eyes and groaned. She got up groggily, not even bothering to magic her mane into place and trotted downstairs. Suddenly, there was an explosion, and she rushed down. At the bottom she found a group of groaning and blown up mares and stallions. Standing in the middle, body blackened with ash and the tip of his mane on fire, stood her son, a plate of breakfast in his magic aura.

She laughed and laughed, and with that came the memories, of which only made her smile and laugh harder and harder.

This chapter was so short because the next ones are flashbacks.
