Fly to the Stars and Back (Redone)

“Geez, don’t tell me you want to be his mother too.” Blitz jokes.

Ahsoka now really looks mad at him. “Jerk.”

“Ah, come over here and join us in relaxing.” Blitz says.

Ahsoka grumbles as she walks over and sits down beside them. “Hate you guys.”

“Take a moment and enjoy the setting Ahsoka.” Blitz says as the sun sets slowly as the air is cool and crisp.

Ahsoka sighs. “Why do you do this to me?”

“Because you need to lighten up and relax.” Blitz says.

Ahsoka huffs. “With you? You’re a walking stress maker.”

“Who is trying to get you to relax.” Blitz says.

Ahsoka still glares before sighing. “I just can’t stay mad at you.”

“And that is?” Blitz asks before she starts scratching his head, making him slump.

Ahsoka smirks. “Oh yeah, that is also why. You are just putty in my hands.”

“Hey, that’s our stallion. Only we can have him like that.” Spitfire says.

Ahsoka smirks. “Sorry, first come, first serve.”

“Why I ought to…” Spitfire growls.

Close by, ignoring them mostly, Twilight was reading. ‘Hum, let see, transspecies spell. Very high level.’ Twilight thinks as she reads while using her body as a bed and covers for Arane as he sleeps.

Minerva sits down near her. “Whatcha lookin at?” She asks, trying to be quiet for Arcane’s sake.

“Studying transformation spells. I got to learn everything so I can teach Arcane one day.” Twilight says as she keeps reading.

Minerva smirks. “You sure that isn’t all?”

“If I don’t teach him this subject, who will?” Twilight asks as Arcane turns on her stomach still holding his stuffed animal tightly.

“He really likes that camel.” Ahsoka says.

Blitz grins. “I knew he would. He likes those that can go long.”

“He is also so adorable too.” Twilight says smiling, looking to Arcane.

Blitz chuckles. “Yes, that too. He is definitely going to have an interesting life.”

‘And a new step mother soon if I have my way.’ Twilight thinks going back to her book.

Ahsoka chuckles. “So how come no one has come after Arcane yet?”

“Oh they have. They just haven’t got through the first line of defence.” Blitz says.

Ahsoka smirks and keeps scratching. “And what is that?”

“Laser turrets.” Blitz says simply.

Ahsoka sighs. “And if they get through that? What’s the second line?”

“Oh the changeling guards with six mandalorians.” Blitz says.

Ahsoka chuckles. “I see and then after that?”

“You remember Terran?” Blitz asks.

Ahsoka giggles. “Really, anything else?”

“Me.” Blitz says deadly serious.

Ahsoka smiled. “You do anything for your family, won’t you?”

“Do you even need to ask?” Blitz asks and Ahsoka could swear that his eyes turned red for a second.

Ahsoka sighs and resumes scratching him. “Not really. Though, what are you going to do now that you will be snowed in?”

“Roaring fire, foals playing around the room while huddled under a blanket with some of my mares.” Blitz says.

Ahsoka smirks. “Some of them?”

“Can’t fit all of them on the couch under the blanket.” Blitz says.

Ahsoka giggles. “Not unless you have a bigger blanket.”

“And one of my mares needs a bit extra attention.” Blitz says.

Ahsoka looks at him. “And who would that be?”

“That would be me I would think.” Daring says walking up in winter type of clothing with two guards.

Blitz smiled. “Ah Daring, how was your trip?”

“Tiring, now move over you two.” Daring says to Vinyl and Spitfire as she walked up.

They both sit up and Daring sits on Blitz’s lap and leans against him. “Such a nice pillow.”

“And this is the treatment the pregnant members get.” Blitz says to Ahsoka.

Ahsoka smiled. “How far along are you?”

“Months.” Daring says not even looking up.

Ashoka nods. “I see, you are not even going to ask about me?”

“Too tired, will look at what pony you are later.” Daring says Blitz pets her mane.

Ahsoka giggles. “Oh you will be surprised.”

“So how did your work go? The students give you any trouble?” Blitz says.

Daring waves him off. “Mostly asking how my married life is. Was able to get back on track though.”

“Have to crack the whip.” Blitz jokes.

Daring chuckles. “Yeah, after they started asking about the foal. That is definitely not allowed in my classroom. Wasting too much time too.”

“Oh, so how did your boss take the news?” Blitz asks.

Daring shrugs. “Rather well. Even gave me maternity leave at the ready. Just need to find one more artifact and it’s mine.”

“And has she been treating you differently since we have been donating to the school?” Blitz asks.

Daring chuckles. “Oh yeah, really well.” She said, emphasizing really.

“They don’t want a major backer angry at the school?” Blitz asks, smirking.

Daring smirks. “I love ya Blitzy.”

“We all know that.” Vinyl says a little salty over having to give up her seat.

Daring giggles. “Yeah, still, I have to deal with those lawsuits still happening. Apparently they can get an appeal for all instead of all at once. Hate that, though it’s simple since we already dealt with almost five and that’s setting a sort of law now.”

“Well that’s why I hired those lawyers and then since then, made them the basis of our legal department.” Blitz says.

Daring nods. “What are they going to be dealing with now since they got the book lawsuits in the bag?”

“Oh they will keep dealing with that and will be on standby mostly.” Blitz says.

Daring hums and snuggled against him. “Such a fluffy pillow.”

“So you thought of a name for the foal?” Blitz asks, hooking a hoof around them.

Daring keeps snuggling into him. “I’m thinking Venator for a colt and Vestigo for a filly. Hunter and explore are the meanings behind it. Cool, huh?”

“Oh so hunter for me and explorer for you?” Blitz asks.

Daring nods. “Yep, pretty good, huh?”

“Yeah, so you bought a hat like yours, foal sized though for the foal yet?” Blitz asks, smirking.

Daring reaches for her backpack and pulls out a small hat. “Like it? Found it at the gift shop where they sell my books.”

“Oh, I just used a shrinking spell on my hat so Arcane could wear it like he is right now.” Blitz says.

Daring chuckles. “Then what are we going to give the rest of them?”

“Well one of the members is a seamstress so she can make more if need be.” Blitz says.

Daring smiled. “Better get her started then. It’s better to have some in advance.”

“Oh, you have already fantasized of you and the foal on an adventure haven’t you?” Blitz asks.

Daring nods. “Just like you said.”

“Oh Daring.” Blitz says petting her stomach.

Daring giggles and places a hoof over his. “Oh Blitz.” She playfully said.

“No Daring, you still can not drink any alcohol.” Blitz says.

Daring frowns. “Poo.”

“It’s a rule Daring, no mare who is pregnant can drink any beverage like that. We all agreed.” Octavia says as Azure looks to be trying to stalk a beetle close by her.

Daring huffs. “No fair.”

“It is perfectly fair. Octy never had alcohol once while pregnant and she likes to drink wine.” Vinyl says.

Daring opens her eyes and looks at her. “That’s because she has been drinking wine. I don’t.”

“Rainbow never drank hard cider while in this condition either.” Blitz whispers into her ear.

Daring turns her head at him. “You bastard.” She whispered.

Blitz smirks and he lightly nipped her ear without anyone noticing. Daring yelps and makes the beetle scurry away with Azure looking disappointed.

“Daring, what’s wrong? Did the foal kick?” Blitz asks innocently.

Daring just hits him. “Jerk.”

“What did I do?” Blitz asks, continuing to play innocent.

Daring glares at him. “Give me a night and you are forgiven.”

“You, me, snuggling under a blanket in front of a fire.” Blitz whispers into her ear.

Daring huffs. “That’s the idea.”

“I already have it all ready. I just promised Vinyl something first.” Bliz whispers into her ear.

Daring crosses her forelegs. “Just hurry up.”

“Got to wait for the moon to rise. You know vampire ways.” Blitz whispers.

Daring sighs. “Hate you.”

“I already got the fire roaring inside.” Blitz says.

Daring groans. “Let’s just get inside already.”

“I can’t.” Blitz says gesturing to the rope tied him to Vinyl.

Daring frowns. “”Let him go.”

“No.” Vinyl says foalishly.

Daring glares at her. “That wasn’t a request.”

“Oh and whatcha going to do about it.” Vinyl says sticking out her tongue.

Daring growls as she prepares to push off of Blitz. “Daring.” Blitz said with some chuckles. Daring sighs and relaxes against him again. “Just shut up.” She said. “Oh, one more thing, Pinkie is teaching her daughter about s’mores inside.” Blitz says.

Daring looks at him. “S’mores? Doesn’t that need live fire?”

“We have a fireplace inside.” Blitz reminds.

Daring keeps looking at him. “Blitz, this is Pinkie.”

“Yes and I told her to use the fireplace as she almost crashed through the front of the house already.” Blitz says.

“…What!?” Daring yells.

Blitz shrugs. “Don’t know where she got the vehicle from though.” Daring just looks horrified. ‘Oh that can’t be good for the foal.’ Blitz thinks.

Daring shakes herself out of it. “Why do you let her do this?”

Blitz just stares at her. “It’s Pinkie Pie. What are you going to do?”

“I…point taken.” Daring says at a loss for words. “Just make sure she doesn’t burn down my house or destroy it or flood it or rip it apart looking for the last cupcake or even….”

“I get it.” Blitz says stopping her with his hoof on her mouth.

“Good. I like this cottage.” Daring sys.

Blitz smiles and nuzzles her. “Because of your new toys, I know.”

Daring just hits him. “It’s because it’s where we can all go to relax. And the toys.” She added as an afterthought.

“And where you want to raise your foals right?” Blitz asks, rubbing his head against her.

Daring nuzzles back. “Yeah, safe and sound for most of their life.”

“Oh look Vinyl, the moon has risen.” Octavia says.

Vinyl grins. “Fun time.” She said rubbing her hooves together.

“Very well.” Blitz says as Minerva brings out glasses with a bottle in a bucket full of ice.

Daring smiled. “I’ll wait on my bed.” She said getting off of him.

“Wait on the couch Daring. I got everything set up.” Blitz says.

Daring nods as she heads inside with the rest of them as Vinyl moves back into her spot, practically hopping on the swing.

“Excited?” Blitz asks, smirking.

Vinyl giggles. “Oh yeah. A good night under a full moon? How could I not?”

“Why a drink nopony has ever drank before.” Blitz says as he gets a few glasses and the brandy out with his magic.

Vinyl sighs in relief as she rests against him. “Thanks for this.”

“Yes, thanks.” Octavia says grabbing her own glass.

“Hey.” Vinyl whines.

Blitz nods as he starts to pour them the drink. “Just take it easy. It goes down hard.”

“You basing this off what you heard?” Vinyl asks.

Blitz shrugs. “I don’t know. This is the first time anyone tried this who isn’t a turian.”

“Twi, you want to get in on this?” Vinyl asks.

Twilight shakes her head. “Nah, got to deal with Arcane and my book.”

“Ok Spi…” Vinyl was cut off when she noticed Spitfire had snatched her glass when she wasn’t looking.

Spitfire smirks. “Mine.”

Vinyl growls and looks to be about to spew profanities at her when Blitz says. “You can share mine.”

Vinyl grins and saddles up to him and leans against him. “Gimme.”

“Down Vinyl, you will get it.” Blitz says, reminding her that Azure was watching.

Vinyl giggles and takes his drink before looking closely at it.

“I said share, don’t guzzle it.” Blitz says.

Vinyl grins as she looks at him before taking the glass and starts guzzling it down before pulling it away with a heavy sigh. “Oh yeah, that hit the spot.”

“Oh Vinyl, I didn’t know you like jalapenos peppers so much. I put one in the cup before Minerva poured the drink.” Blitz says as Minerva had salt ready to give.

Vinyl stares at him before feeling some heat and then drops the glass and starts panting. “Damn you…”

“Be nice.” Blitz said smirking as Minerva gave her the salt.

Vinyl puts the salt into her mouth and pants and calms down. “Dang you. Dang you Blitz.”

“If you had listened, that wouldn’t have happened.” Blitz says grabbing and holding her.

Vinyl hisses at him.

Blitz smiles and sits her in his lap before starting to pet her as Minerva drinks from the bottle.

They all watch as she puts down the bottle and burps. “Dang. That’s a good drink.”

“And now Minerva is going to be drunk in a few moments.” Blitz comments.

They keep watching as Minerva stays still before falling onto the little table in front and holds up the bottle. “Heh, heh, fall down.” She said drunkenly.

“That was some strong stuff. I’m a little tipsy.” Spitfire says swaying.

Blitz sighs as Octavia takes some before falling to the side and snoring out loud which makes Azure climb on top of her before going to sleep as well.

“Odd, usually Octy has the greater tolerance for alcohol.” Blitz says.

Vinyl chuckles. “Yeah, she usually drinks only wine though.”

“Help me get them inside.” Blitz says.

Vinyl sighs and lifts Minerva onto her back while Blitz places Azure on his head before taking Octavia onto his back and they both take them inside and place them in one of the rooms and Blitz places Azure right back on top of Octavia and pulls the covers on top of them. “Well, that’s cute.” Blitz said as they headed back.

“What was that anyways?” Spitfire asks.

Blitz grins. “Turian brandy made for other species. Really tough or maybe we aren’t used to it yet because it’s still brand new.”

“Well that explains why I like it. I like brandy in general.” Spitfire says.

Blitz chuckles. “I know. I saw the rest of your bottles, didn’t I?” He said as Blazer yawns and comes out of his room and heads to the living room and sits down on the couch.

“Feeling better? I heard you had a cold.” Daring says under her quilt. Blazer only grunts before looking up and sees a large metal pad. “Game system. Go ahead.” Daring said as she kept watching as Blazer got up and went under the pad and Daring presses a few things on the table nearby and a full light box came down and covered Blazer as the TV came on and they saw him raise up a bit. “Worth every bit and credit.” Daring said as a game came on.

“Oh and what about me?” Blitz asks, slipping under the quilt with her.

Daring giggles and leans against him. “Well, you are worth all the time I have spent with you and even before marrying you.” She said as he sees Mirror’s Edge come on the screen and Blazer starts moving in midair.

“I see.” Blitz says nuzzling her.

Daring smiled and nuzzled back. “You love this life now?”

“It’s good right now.” Blitz says as he curls up with her.

Daring rolls her eyes and gives a kiss on his cheek before leaning onto his shoulder and watches as Blazer starts running across the level.

“Get some sleep love, we have all the time to spend together.” Blitz says.

Daring shakes her head. “No, I want to spend every moment of this awake with you. You’re the best stallion I ever had in a long time.”

“Oh, you had somepony before me?” Blitz jokes, starting to pet her.

Daring blushes. “Once or twice, but never got far. Heck, my archrival even tried, that didn’t work out.”

“I see, so how do you think he will react when you meet him again?” Blitz asks.

Daring shrugs. “Don’t know. But probably place me in a trap and try to stop me from getting the next treasure. Now, what would you do?”

“Before or after blasting him to the other side of the planet?” Blitz asks.

Daring laughs and nuzzles under his head and leaves her head there. “I love you Blitz.”

“I love you too Daring.” Blitz says as she drifted off to sleep, her head on his shoulder.

Blitz nuzzles her head one last time before looking back at Blazer and sees him really running. “Having fun?”

“Yeah, tired though.” Blazer says.

“It is night.” Blitz says.

Blazer looks back at him. “Still want to play.”

“Play only a little more before going back to bed. After all, you are still recovering. You can continue playing in the morning.” Blitz says.

Blazer smiled and went back to playing as Blitz turned to Daring, now snoring a bit, and wrapping a hoof around her. “Love ya.” He whispered and kissed her head.

Daring just mumbles something about magazines and beds and nuzzles his chest.

Blitz smiles and lets himself drift off to sleep.

“You’re too slow.” Blazer said as Blitz tried to race him in the game the next morning.

“I don’t get this game at all.” Blitz says.

Blazer chuckles. “It’s all about running dad. Running and tricks. Come on, aren’t you a big bad hunter?” He asks with a bit of a smirk.

“Burn!” The mares called from the couch with Arcane and Azure cheering at Blazer.

“Don’t make me get the flamethrower.” Blitz says.

Blazer giggles. “Well if you can beat me, I’ll apologize. How about that?”

“Not you, them.” Blitz says.

The mares just laugh or giggle as Blazer laughs in midair. “Oh be quiet and play Blitz. You need relaxation.” Ahsoka said walking by with a cup of coffee.

“What are you doing with my mug?” Blitz says noticing the mug had ‘I blasted a bounty for this’.

Ahsoka smirks. “Drinking, what else?” She said showing it off.

“Out of my favorite mug.” Blitz says sulking.

Ahsoka giggles. “Oh calm down Blitz. You can have it back after I’m done.”

“I literally killed five other bounty hunters getting that.” Blitz says.

Ahsoka shakes the mug around. “It’s still yours. Just drinking out of it for a bit.”

“Wait, you did what now?” Applejack asks.

“They had bounties on their heads.” Blitz explains.

The mares just stare at him. “You sure?” Twilight asks.

“Thirty thousand credits were made that day with that mug which was supposed to be a joke gag by the bounty office.” Blitz says.

They still stare at him. “So?” Applejack asks.

“They had bounties on their heads.” Blitz says again.

Twilight frowns. “Blitz, it’s just a mug.”

“Only five hundred were ever made.” Blitz says.

Vinyl hits him with a balled up wrapper. “Just a mug.”

“That is worth a million credits for its rarity.” Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs. “Calm down. It’s just a mug.”

“He has grown attached to it.” Spitfire says rolling her eyes at the other females for their denseness.

They just threw their wrappers at her and buried her under the trash.

“Oh look who is mad now.” Spitfire says.

“Alright Azure, are you ready for music time?” Octavia asks.

Azure cheers and jumps onto her head.

“Ok.” Octavia says getting out her cello.

Blitz smiled as the others were getting earmuffs from Vinyl. “Why don’t you give a private performance to him? I don’t think the others want it.”

“Nonsense, they need more culture in their lives.” Octavia says.

The mares just look confused on what she said with their earmuffs on.

“Go on then love.” Blitz says as all females but Ahsoka and Twilight were wearing earmuffs.

Octavia smiles and starts playing as Azure sighs and lays down on her head like he’s sleeping and the others start to relax and listen to the music as well.

“You like this Arcane?” Blitz asks.

Arcane nods and starts swaying along.

“Good boy.” Twilight says as she flipped the page of the picture book she was reading him.

Arcane laughs and runs across her before sitting in her lap and puts his hooves on the book.

Blitz shook his head at that as he looked to Daring who was still sleeping.

Blitz sighs as he walks over to her and sits down next to Daring. “Can’t believe she is still asleep.”

“Muffins.” Daring says in her sleep.

Blitz chuckles. “Pinkie.”

“Busy.” Pinkie says with a mouthful of s’mores.

Blitz shakes his head. “Oh Pinkie, where did you get the heat for those?”

“The fireplace.” Pinkie pointing to the roaring fire.

Blitz raises an eyebrow as Sunshine bites into her big piece and takes a big chunk out of it. “Pinkie, how much did Sunshine have?”

“That is her first bite. Did you like it? Did ya? Did ya?” Pinkie says ticking her stomach with her nose.

Sunshine giggles and hugs Pinkie’s nose, smearing the S’mores all over them. Blitz shakes his head and gets up. Daring moans as she grabs his tail and holds like a stuffed animal. Blitz smiles and pets her mane. Daring sighs and bites onto the tail and starts to chew on it. Blitz just looks to the other mares to see if they are seeing this. The others were just giggling and snickering at what Daring was doing and Blitz gained a small blush.

Blitz then uses his magic to remove their earmuffs and gives them an annoyed look. “It’s cute.” Twilight offered as Arcane turned a page himself.

“Vinyl, get her a muffin please.” Blitz says.

Vinyl sighs as she gets up and heads for the kitchen. “Whatever.” Blitz sighs as he waits for her as Spitfire snuck closer. “Got one.” Vinyl called as she heads back and tosses it to him and Spitfire snacthes it right out of the air.

“Spitfire.” Blitz calls looking over to her as she hangs the muffin out of his reach.

“There is a price for this.” Spitfire says.

Blitz sighs. “What is it?”

“Guess.” Spitfire says leaning in.

Blitz grabs her mane and gives her a hard kiss before grabbing the muffin and learning back again and gives it to Daring who snuggles with it before biting into it.

“Did I get it right?” Blitz asks while smirking.

Spitfire sways a bit before falling to her side and onto the other mares’ laps.

“I’ll take that as a maybe.” Blitz says snickering.

Daring mumbles as she keeps munching on the muffin. “Muffin.” She said happily.

“She reminds me of Derpy right now.” Blitz says.

“Muffin.” Daring cheers in her sleep as she now nibbles on the muffin.

“She’s like Arcane and his camel stuffed animal.” Vinyl comments.

Daring snorts as she starts to crawl over to Vinyl and then laid down on her lap. “Shut up Vinyl.”

“Glad you could join us Daring.” Blitz says laying next to her.

Daring eats the rest of the muffin. “Yeah, it was a good nap.” She said opening her eyes and ‘accidentally’ hitting Vinyl in the face, knocking her glasses off a little.

“You slept all night.” Vinyl says annoyed as Blitz pets her.

Daring nods as she sits up. “Yeah, I did. You jealous?”

Vinyl just pats her head a little hard. “Shut up.”

“Now Vinyl, don’t get rough. Remember Daring’s condition.” Blitz says.

Vinyl glares at Daring who was smirking at her and sticks her tongue out at her. “You’re a…”

“Be nice.” Daring reminds while still smirking.

Vinyl just huffs and goes over to Blitz and hugs him and squeezes him really tight.

Blitz chuckles and hugs her back. “Aw, you want your plushie?” He teases.

Vinyl just flashes her fangs at him.

Blitz grins. “Marshmallow, why don’t you play with Azure? I’m sure he wants to play with his step mother.”

“Fine.” Vinyl says as Ahsoka snickers at her nickname.

Blitz chuckles as Vinyl goes over to Azure and picks him and starts to play with him. “How’s Arcane Twi?” He asks looking over to her.

“He is doing fine, aren’t you sweetie?” Twilight asks, poking him with her nose.

Arcane giggles and tries to hug her nose.

“Oh that is so cute.” Pinkie says.

Arcane laughs and climbs onto her before jumping from head to head and lands on Blitz and cheers.

“I think he is starting to learn to glide.” Blitz says.

Twilight giggles. “Maybe, just need to work on those wings of his. Though there is the fact he’s been doing this.” She said showing an apple.

Arcane sees it and jumps off his father and tries to glide to it, but is caught by his grandmother.

Mary chuckles and looks him over. “Aw, he wants an apple now. Probably reminding him of his second mother. Though, I don’t think that’s what you mean.” She said, looking to Twilight who smirks and sends some magic into the apple and they see it change into the stuffed camel he has.

“Mom, when did you get back?” Blitz asks.

Mary smirks. “A little while ago. Saw the results of that drink you got. Didn’t know you were a bunch of lightweights. I drank worse.” She said tickling Arcane’s stomach.

“Oh. Why don’t you try a drink?” Blitz says challenging.

Mary grins. “Bring it.”

“Be right back.” Blitz says heading into the kitchen.

Mary giggles as she keeps tickling Arcane. “Who’s a good boy? Who’s a good boy?”

Arcane laughs and tries to grab her hoof as Blitz comes back with the bottle and puts it down on the table with a shot glass. Mary smirks as she gives Arcane to him and picks the bottle and glass before putting the glass down and takes a swig of the bottle. She smacks her lips a few times as the others just watch her. She just smiled as she put the bottle down and burped cutely. “Excuse me. Don’t know what all the fuss is about.”

“Three, two, one.” Blitz counts down.

Mary was still smirking before starting to gain a half lidded eyes and then fell down and snores out loud that seems to shake the whole house.

“I’m happy right now.” Blitz says.

Twilight takes Arcane from his hooves. “And why’s that?”

“Mom can’t be so smug when she wakes up.” Blitz says.

Twilight smiled and shook her head. “Oh Blitz.”

Arcane, seeing this, walks over and pokes Mary.

They chuckle and laugh as Mary just snorts.

“Arcane, look.” Blitz says putting his stuffed camel on Mary’s head.

Arcane cheers and jumps onto Mary’s head and grabs his animal before nuzzling it and sits down on her head.

“Aw.” Ahsoka says.

Blitz smiles and pats his head before sitting down again and Daring leans against him now as Mary still snores.

“You getting a preview.” Blitz says.

Daring giggles and nuzzles him. “I love you Blitz.”

Blitz nuzzles her back. “Love you too. So, you ready for your new life?” He asks as he places a hoof over her stomach.

“Was when I was in the wedding dress.” Daring says.

Blitz chuckles and kisses her head. “You’re so cute. But what are you going to do when the little one is born?”

Daring smiled. “Take a little break from working in school and then make a better schedule so I can also deal with the new little one in my life, along with spending time with you.”

Blitz keeps nuzzling her. “Really, what will happen to most of your classes?”

Daring smiled and kissed his cheek. “Most of them will be down, but not all of them.”

Blitz sighs in relief. “Good, I don’t want you to stop. This is part of your life with me and I don’t want you to stop on account of me or the foal. Sometimes, it could be your dream job at times.”

“You’re right.” Daring says.

Blitz chuckles. “When am I not?”

“Don’t push your luck.” Daring says as Blitz keeps the brandy just out of her reach.

Blitz grins as he reaches out more. “You can’t Daring, think of the foals.”

Daring grumbles.

Blitz chuckles and gives a small kiss. “It’s okay, once you have your foal, we’ll celebrate.”

“Yeah, but for now this is going into my personal supply.” Spitfire says grabbing the bottle.

Blitz frowns. “Spitfire, you have your own already. This is my stash.”

“Not this bottle.” Spitfire says cheekily.

Blitz snatches it back. “My bottle.”

“Oh?” Spitfire asks as Daring smiles knowingly and backs away before Spitfire tackles him to the ground and starts wrestling him for the bottle.

The other mares just shake their heads as Azure and Arcane try to shake theirs. But Pinkie and her daughter smile and clap.

Blitz grunts as he takes the bottle and holds it out of reach. “Ha! I won!”

“No I win.” Shadow says snatching the bottle.

“Wha…Shadow?” Blitz asks.

Shadow grins. “Check it.” She said holding out the bottle before walking away and Blitz tries to go after her before Spitfire has him in a hold.

“Wait Shadow, when did you arrive?” Blitz calls.

Shadow smiled. “Just now.”

“What, not even a hug?” Blitz calls.

Shadow grins. “Not until I try this.”

“Not a good idea.” Spitfire says still on top of Blitz.

Shadow smiled. “What’s the worst that can happen?” She asks after opening the bottle.

“Mary was knocked out by the first shot.” Blitz says.

Shadow shrugs. “Eh, what’s the worst that can happen to me?” She asks before taking a swig and puts the bottle down.

“Oh boy.” Blitz says looking at the fallen mare.

“This is certainly a strange family you got here.” Ahsoka said as she petted Blitz.

“Would you stop that?” Blitz asks.

Ahsoka grins and scratches behind his ears. “Nope, would you want me to?”

“Dang you.” Blitz says struggling under her assault.

Ahsoka smiled as she stops for a bit. “Hey Blitz?”

“What?” Blitz asks.

Ahsoka just watched him. “You still wish things were different?”

“You are so…” Blitz starts but stops and slumps when Ahsoka starts scratching him behind the ear.

Ahsoka smirks. “Come on. Still wish things were different?” Blitz couldn’t even answer from her scratching. Ahsoka smiled and let’s up a bit. “Blitz, I want an answer.”

“No, because I have foals.” Blitz says.

Ahsoka nods. “Anything else, other than your foals? Anyone or anything else in life you need?”

“Well I was able to meet my birth mother. She is the pegasus over there who went down after the first shot who isn’t in a uniform.” Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiles as she looks over and sees Mary playing with most of the foals. “So how long has it been since you have seen her?”

“From first seeing her?” Blitz asks.

Ahsoka nods. “Yeah, still have to know your family.”

“Well the first time I met her was around two years ago.” Blitz says

Ahsoka sighs. “And what did she do all that time?”

“Do me a favor and call out, hey, Captain Kidd.” Blitz says.

Ahsoka looks confused before looking at Mary. “Hey, Captain Kidd!”

“What?” Mary asks looking at her.

Ahsoka looks back to Blitz. “Captain Kidd?”

Blitz nods. “Yep, she was a captain on a pirate ship. Pretty cool huh?”

Mary was walking over with some of the foals riding her. “Need me for something?”

“No, Ahsoka just asked what you were doing with your life before I found you.” Blitz says.

Mary chuckles. “I thought she would ask that one day. Yes, I was a pirate, pretty good one at that.”

“Had a few bad experiences with pirates.” Ahsoka says.

Mary smiled. “Well I’ll tell ya, I’m not bad or them.”

Blitz chuckles. “With how the foals are on you, that’s a given.”

Mary nods as she looks back to the foals on her back as Arcane giggles and hugs his camel on her head. “True, still, you need take of these guys on your own and by that I mean you only.” She said looking at Blitz.

“Hey, you need to spend time with your grandfoals as well.” Blitz says.

Mary smirks. “Yes, but they need to spend wholly with their father. Besides, you wanted to spend time with them, it’s best you play with them all too. They might learn a few things other than from me.”

“Oh Azure, Arcane, Smile, who is your father?” Blitz asks.

They cheer and reach for him.

“Come at me.” Blitz says. They immediately jumped at him and snuggled into him. “Hugs for all.” Blitz said hugging and nuzzling them.

“Being a father is really becoming of you.” Ahsoka says as he was assaulted by the three foals.

Blitz chuckles. “Yeah, my pride and joys. Right guys?”

“Yeah.” Ahsoka says looking away. ‘Unlike you, the code forbids me from such attachments.’ Ahsoka thinks.

Blitz sighs as he leans back again and the foals crawl all over him. “So, how did your latest ship sailing go mom?”

“Not a bad ship, I ran into an old acquaintance though.” Mary says.

Blitz raises an eyebrow as Sunshine starts pulling at his mane and hanging from it. “Who?”

Mary smiled. “Jack Rackham. That stallion which you humiliated at the tavern. Still steaming too.”

“Huh, who is that?” Blitz asks.

Mary smirks. “Come on boy. Don’t ya remember? He was coming onto your mare and even had the audacity to challenge your skills. Crouse you told him off by just talking.”

“Huh, lets see…oh, that waste of space. Should have done the Krogan style response to that.” Blitz says.

Ahsoka snickers as Mary looks confused. “And what might that be?” She asks.

“A headbutt.” Ahsoka says.

“The Krogan have reinforced plates on their heads making the impact even worse and can kill one without plates or a helmet.” Blitz explains.

Mary chuckles. “Wow, you still want to do it?”

“No, he is beneigh me, though Whirlwind could use a new training dummy.” Blitz thinks out loud, smirking as Azure and Arcane race to the top of Blitz’s head only to be beaten by their sister.

Sunshine looks sumg until both Azure and Arcane tackle her onto his back and Arcane starts trying to hit her with his stuffed camel.

“Arcane, don’t use Mr. Sandy as a weapon, he could rip.” Blitz says.

Arcane whines and hugs the camel as Sunshine tackles him now and they start wrestling. “Mr. Sandy?” Ahsoka asks with a smirk.

“It’s a camel and they live in deserts.” Blitz says.

Azure sits down on his head and looks at him over his vision and coos at him.

“Oh, you want a stuffed animal to Desperado?” Blitz asks, smiling at him. Azure coos again. Blitz chuckles. “Alright, I’ll see what I can get you.”

Ahsoka smiled as she watched all the foals play on him. “How does it feel, having kids?”

“They are my treasure.” Blitz says holding Azure.

Ahsoka nods and scratches Azure’s head. “They are still so cute.”

Mary chuckles as she grabs the other two and pets them as well. “Yeah, never thought my boy would catch so many eyes and even foreign ones as well.” She said eyeing Ahsoka.

“Foreign?” Blitz asks.

Mary smirks. “Oh yes, foreign.” She said as Ahsoka blushes. “Come on, what is another word for foreign?” Blitz cocks his head to the side in confusion. Mary groans. “Okay, I’m not going to help you. If you’re going to be that much of a blockhead, figure it out yourself.”

“Ouch, that hurt mum.” Blitz says.

Mary clicks her tongue. “Please, your wives told me how much you were bad at the dating stage. Stuttering and didn’t know what the special words were, terrible. At least your father was better at it.”

Ahsoka smirks. “Really, that bad?”

Mary huffs. “Better believe it.” She said as the foals got off of them and headed inside. “He was so bad, the mares had to show him how much they love him.”

“Let’s…not go there.” Blitz says.

Ahsoka leans on her arms. “Tell me more.” She said, not listening to Blitz.

“Please mum, not in front of the foals.” Blitz says.

Mary grins. “Oh they told me that he was so badly embarrassed, he can’t go out without wearing at least something and still blushes.”

“I like clothes.” Blitz mutters to himself.

Ahsoka chuckles. “I thought he would get used to here since they don’t wear anything at times. Only formal things.”

Mary nods. “Yes they do, but my son doesn’t want to be seen without wearing some pants at least.”

Blitz groans and gets up. “That’s it, I’m heading inside.” He said, opening the door before being pelted by pillows and knocked down. “Ow.”

They both look over and peek into the doorway before being pelted too and pulled back. “We got a fort. Who’s ready to pillage?!” Mary cheers and they can hear cheers from the inside.

“What hit me?” Blitz asks.

Ahsoka smiled. “Your kids made a pillow fort and just hit you with pillows.”

“One, two, three. All present and accounted for…unless.” Blitz says, his eyes shooting open. “Rainbow are you in there?” Blitz calls.

“No.” She called back.

“Azure, Arcane, Smile, storm the fortress.” Blitz orders.

They just hit him with pillows and knock him down again. “Okay, plan B. Mom, around the other side. Ashoka, me and you are distractions. Let’s go!” He called as they set themselves up.

Blitz managed to sneak up on them when Mary gave herself away. “Rainbow.” Blitz whispered into the unsuspecting mare’s ear.

Rainbow yelps and is grabbed by him as Ahsoka tries to grab the foals, but they jump and start to hit her all over with pillows. “How did this get started?” Blitz asks as Mary gets in and starts to pillow fight too.

“You little…” Rainbow starts.

“Dear, I think that is enough.” Rarity says.

Rainbow smiled and hugs him as the foals now have Mary and Ahsoka down and has them pelted with pillows. “Like the fort?”

“Spectrum Blast, come give you dad a hug.” Blitz calls.

Spectrum cheers and jumps at him and Blitz catches her and hugs her tight. “You have fun?”

Spectrum smiles as she hugs him while Blast keeps smacking Mary with his pillow.

Mary laughs as she keeps getting hit in the face. “I give, I give.” She pleaded.

“Blast is a warrior already.” Blitz says smirking.

Mary laughs as Blast moves onto Ahsoka and starts hitting her with Azure and Arcane.

“Watch out they don’t tie you up Ashoka.” Blitz says holding back a laugh.

Ahsoka laughs as she tries to get up and soon the foals fall into their back, tired. “These guys are a bundle of energy.”

“They are foalsssss…what the heck are you?” Rainbow asks, noticing Ahsoka.

Ahsoka smiled and waved. “Hi, Ahsoka Tano.”

“She is an old friend.” Blitz says.

Rainbow tries to wave back. “What the heck is she doing here?”

“Will explain later, sound good?” Blitz asks petting her mane.

Rainbow purrs. “Yeah.” She said enjoying the petting.

‘And that is how you win against Rainbow.’ Blitz thinks.

Ahsoka looks over the foals who are now trying to lift a pillow. “Blitz, want to declare the winner?”

“The foals.” Blitz says picking them all up with his magic.

Mary chuckles as she sits up. “Well, that was fun. Didn’t know they would build a fort now though.” Blitz smiles as he levitates them to their mothers. “Though, at least they will always know their father and mothers.” Mary added as an afterthought.

“And their grandmother.” Rainbow says, smirking.

Mary smiled as she saw the foals being nuzzles by their mothers. “Yeah.”

“I think it’s nap time for them, what do you think girls?” Blitz asks.

Twilight smiled as Arcane and the rest yawns. “Yeah, sleepy time for these guys.”

“Alright, lets tuck them in.” Blitz says following them.

Ahsoka smiled as she sat down on the couch with Mary right by her. “You like him, don’t ya?” Mary asks after they left.

“Jedi can not make such attachments. It is one of the core rules of our code.” Ahsoka says.

Mary chuckles. “That ain’t stopping ya from trying.”

“It is as a Jedi, I must inher to the code.” Ahsoka says.

Blitz smiles as the foals sleep. Twilight leans on him as they single into what they got. “You have a great life now Blitz.” She whispered.

“Speaking of which, I need to talk to you all about something in another room.” Blitz whispers.

Twilight nods and follows him out to the kitchen for a bit. “So what’s wrong?”

“Nothing, I just want your opinions. I have been thinking of buying the rest of the foals stuffed animals like Arcane’s Mr. Sandy.” Blitz says.

Twilight smiled. “Go ahead. I’m sure they would love it.”

“Now I want input from their birth mothers so it will be a gift from both of us.” Blitz says.

Twilight giggles and slaps his flank. “Go get em boy.”

“Twi, they are right here with us.” Blitz says barely fazed by her.

Twilight still giggles. “Who else wants to get a reaction out of him and stuffed animals for the foals?”

“That is why I called this to discuss what to get each foal.” Blitz says annoyed and his left eye twitches.

Twilight smirks. “I was talking to them.” She said pointing to the others getting something from the kitchen.

“Ok, any ideas then?” Blitz says after taking a deep breath.

Applejack smiles. “A guard pony plushie, if a griffon one is there, then that.”

“Guard griffon or pony, possibly knight.” Blitz says as Twilight wrote it down.

Octavia smiled. “Maybe one that’s like a classy bear. Suits and all.”

“Why not a bat?” Vinyl asks, raiding the fridge.

Octavia huffs. “I want him a classy stallion when he grows up.”

“But he is a hybrid of pony and vampire.” Vinyl comments.

Octavia looks at her. “Classy.”

“Vampiric.” Vinyl argues.

Octavia glares. “Classy.”

“Girls.” Blitz says stopping them. “Classy vampire does exist.”

Both glare at each other before sighing. “Fine.”

“Might have to get a bear and a bat stuffed animal for Azure.” Blitz whispers to Twilight.

“Oh, how about a cupcake or a cake with a smile on it?” Pinkie suggested.

“Stuffed animal Pinkie.” Blitz reminds, making Pinkie adapt a thinking position.

“Pinkie plushie.” She said.

“Rarity, I will have to ask a favor.” Blitz mutters.

Rarity giggles. “Of course dear, though since we became celebrities, they made stuffed versions of ourselves. But I will happily make one personally.”

“Ok, now for Spectrum and Blast.” Blitz says starting to think.

Rainbow hums. “How about a Wonderbolt plushie?”

“That includes yours?” Spitfire asks.

Rainbow grins. “Duh, I would look awesome as a plushie.”

“I was kind of thinking of a hawk for Blast.” Blitz admits.

Rainbow signs. “Fine. That works too.”

Blitz winks to Rarity who gets his meaning and giggles. “Oh and what about the unborn one? Anypony have an idea?” Blitz asks.

They all look at Rarity and Applejack as they blush. “Well, an ox here.” Applejack said, trying to drink something.

“I meant Daring unbo…what?” Blitz asks after a moment of silence.

They all look to Daring who has a pony plushie already dressed up. “Came prepared.”

“Not that love. What did you just say Applejack?” Blitz asks.

Applejack looks a bit confused. “An ox. What’s wrong?”

“You implied something else with that statement and you looked to Rarity. Is there something you want to say?” Blitz asks.

Applejack chuckled nervously and tried to drink again and looked away.

“Applejack.” Blitz presses.

Applejack sighs. “Rarity is already making one.”

“And?” Blitz asks.

“I am pregnant as well.” Applejack says causing the mares to smile and walk over to the two mares.

Blitz smiled as Twilight wrote some things down. “Twi, want something else for Arcane?”

“I am thinking of a phoenix plushie.” Twilight says.

Blitz chuckles. “Really, no alicorn one?”

“I’m not vain or anything, besides most alicorn plushies are of Celestia and I have yet to forgive my former teacher yet.” Twilight says.

Blitz smirks. “Yet there are some of Luna. She isn’t that bad. And I’m sure the foals would love to see their auntie Luna.”

“Still in production.” Twilight says.

Blitz chuckles. “Really, they never made a Luna plushie?”

“Before her return she was still Nightmare Moon and Celetia overshadowed her sister for some time after she did to the point most of the nation didn’t even know she had returned.” Twilight informs.

Blitz raises an eyebrow. “Guess she is worse than we thought.”

“More like she was so used to ruling alone, she forgot how to rule with others.” Twilight says.

Blitz smiled. “Wow Twi, didn’t know you hate her that much.”

“Not hate, just anger at her, not as much as you though as you were going to kill her and did a few of her guards.” Twilight says.

Blitz wraps a hoof around her. “Easy Twi, just saying. Now, who are we forgetting?”

“Rarity, what do you want to give to your future foal?” Twilight asks.

Rarity waves them off. “As long as it has an amazing dress.”

“And for a male?” Blitz asks walking over.

Rarity looks at him. “A suit.” Blitz smiles and pets her. She sighs happily. “I love you my prince charming.”

“Love you too.” Blitz says.

“So it has been six days Blitzy, ready to give up?” Twilight asks as they take the foals to the park.

“Nope, I’m still going to win.” Blitz says as Arcane rode on his head while the rest of the foals were being carried by or riding on their birth mothers.

Twilight bumps against him. “Aw, come on Blitzy.”

“Oh ye of little fai…why is there a door in the middle of the park?” Blitz asks, raising an eyebrow.

They look to see a door standing in the middle of the field. “That is weird.” Twilight said, looking it over and finding it’s just a door that you would find in a store as Blitz hands her Arcane.

Blitz looked behind it as they all stood off to the side. “Huh.” He said opening it and stepping through. “Looks regular.” They heard before the door closed on itself and they found him gone.

“Blitz!” The mares cried. The mares looked around frantically for him examining the door and everything. “Where did he go?” Rainbow asks.

“Quick Twi, use your magic on the door and determine where it sent him.” Pinkie says.

Twilight uses her magic but found no trace of magic on it. “But…there has to be magic.” She said as she kept trying.

They all soon stood off to the side again as they thought about how to deal with it until the door opened and Blitz stepped through the doorway again and had a bag of something. “Wow, that’s a great shopping trip. Bye guys.” He said to the doorway before he closed it. “Hi girls.” He said to the shocked mares.

“Wha…” Twilight says, her mouth hanging open.

Blitz drops the bag and places some boxes and picnic baskets on the ground. “So, what did I miss?”

“But how, there was no technology or magic used.” Twilight says.

Blitz shrugs. “I don’t know. Try it. By the way, Twi, I won the wager.” Blitz says smirking.

Twilight stared at him until her eye twitches. “You planned this, didn’t you?”

“Who else would set up the door?” Blitz says bringing out her favorite drink.

Twilight glares at him as the foals jump off their mothers and head to the basket. “Where did you go?”

“Oh, just over there, behind that ledge.” Blitz says smirking.

Twilight growls before she tries to pounce at him only to be caught by his magic. “Those who don’t have magic, use illusions like that.” Blitz says.

Twilight tries to claw at him. “You…”

“Be nice.” Blitz said pointing to the foals.

Twilight just starts to pout as she is sat beside Blitz.

Blitz chuckles as he wraps a hoof around her. “So cute. So…about that bet.”

“You did outsmart me this time.” Twilight admits sighing.

“Good, now I’m thinking that for the next week me and you mares do…” Blitz whispers the rest into Twilight’s ear.

Twilight blushes as she listens to it. “You know some of them won’t go for it.” She whispered.

“I didn’t say all of them and you sure Shadow will be ok, she said she wasn’t feeling well this morning and we left at the house with just Whirlwind.” Blitz says.

Twilight shrugs. “Don’t know exactly. She was still in bed last I saw her.”

“Note to self, have a doctor on speed dial.” Blitz says making a note.

Twilight chuckles. “Really?”

Blitz smiled. “Yep, got to be careful.”

Twilight looks to the door. “So how did you get this set up without us noticing?”

Blitz smirks. “A magician never reveals his secrets.”

Twilight pushes him. “Blitzy.”

Blitz grins. “What?”

“Tell me.” Twilight says pouting at him.

Blitz shakes his head. “Nope, not happening.”

Blazer was just eating a sandwich. “Tell me.” He heard. “Nope.” He sighs as he tries to eat before hearing someone walking behind him and sees two fillies giggling at each other. “Huh.” He said to himself which caught the fillies attention.

The gray filly tilts her head at the large family sitting all over. “Check it out, it’s the blank flanks’ family.”

Blitz inhales and slowly turns around and gives them the evil eye.

They smugly walk over as the eye didn’t phase them and don’t notice the tail in the way. “Woah!” They yelled as they landed onto Blazer. “Hi there, mind getting off?” He asks moving his tail back and a piece of tomato falls from his sandwich onto Silver’s head. “Whoops, don’t have a good grip yet.”

Diamond growls and glares at him. “Hey, watch it! My daddy can really do some damage to you and your family.”

Blazer raises an eyebrow. “Okay, but I doubt paperwork can hurt us. We just survived a direct attack on our home from that invasion. Not fun.” He said moving his wings a bit so his swords can clank against each other, making her look to them and shrink back a bit.

“Twi, remember when Celestia’s guards tried to banish our son and what I did to them?” Blitz asks.

Twilight smirks. “How could I forget? You first grabbed him with your magic and then slowly squeezed the life of him, literally crushing him with the pressure until finally his body gave out and sent blood flying.”

Silver looked fearful. “Diamond, I think we should…”

“My daddy can still do damage.” Diamond said.

“To a princess family?” Twilight muse out loud.

Blazer smirks. “I think you two should go.” He said as Diamond huffs.

“Listen buddy, you better watch out when we’re around. You hurt us and we will come after you.” Diamond reminds as they get up and walk away.

Blazer chuckles. “Try it love.”

Diamond blushes as they hurry up and run out of there.

‘Nice addition.” Applejack says rubbing his head.

Blazer smiled. “Heard about them from auntie Apple Bloom. Not nice, but they saw things that might count as good.” He said, trying to add more things to his sandwich.

Applejack chuckles and wraps a hoof around him. “Aw, little Blazer got a crush.”

“More chicken son?” Blitz offers.

Blazer quickly takes it and adds it to his sandwich, trying to look away from Applejack.

Applejack just smiles at him.

Twilight leans over to Blitz. “You really think those two would even go for a griffon, even a stallion when they grow up? I don’t think their chosen ones would like them.”

“You implying they grow up to be fillyfoolers?” Applejack says, causing Pinkie to do a spit take while Blitz starts laughing.

Twilight blushes. “No, just saying. Do you think they would even go for a griffon let alone a stallion? Heck, would the ones they choose even like them?”

Blitz laughter doesn’t let up as he keeps going and Pinkie does another spit take and then pauses and drinks some tea before spit taking that one.

Blazer grumbles as he keeps eating until he spies a familiar hoof reaching from behind the bush and going for his swords. “Come on, grab it and let’s go.” He heard from behind the bush. He sighs and waits until it grabs one of his swords and shakes it a bit. “Got it.” He hears as he grabs it as well and feels it being pulled. “It’s stuck.” He rolls his eyes before pulling hard and forcing Diamond through the bush.

“Hi there.” Blazer said as she drops the sword and he wears them both behind his back. “You want stealing being added to the list?”

Blitz, seeing this, looked unhappy and got up. “You know there are thirteen different targets that result in instant death on a pony’s body.” Blitz says deadly seriously.

Diamond whimpers as she gets up a bit and backs up until she gets stopped by Blazer. “I suggest you run and don’t bother us this way again unless it’s a good reason. Teasing isn’t one.” Blazer said.

“And it will lead you to appear as missing and never found.” Blitz adds.

Diamond whimpers. “My…daddy will…”

Blazer groans. “Are you really going to let your dad fight everything for you? Are you that weak?”

Diamond suddenly turns on him and glares. “I am not weak!”

Blazer looks her over. “Looks that way. Letting daddy fight and just letting one sentence handle it all. Yeah, that’s a great mare that you think it is.”

Diamond growls. “You…you…you…”

Blazer smirks. “Are sly?” He offered.

“Blazer, please stop talking to those beneath us.” Blitz comments.

Blazer chuckles as Diamond growls a bit more. “Okay dad, I won’t talk with the garbage here. Feels like I’m talking to a tin can or a rock. Dumb one at that.”

Diamond yells in frustration. “You are the most hated thing on my list right now. Those blank flanks don’t even come close to you. You aren’t even a pony and you irritate the heck out of me! You are the most vile, irritating, stupid and puffy bird I ever met!”

Blazer looks confused. “I’m puffy?”

Diamond blushes before jumping through the bushes and they see her and Silver run off.

“How are you doing Fire?” Blitz asks looking over to Spitfire.

Spitfire waves at him as she relaxes. “Just fine.” She said adjusting her pants a bit.

“You usually wear something tighter Fire, what is the problem?” Blitz asks, walking over to her.

Spitfire shrugs. “Eh, wanted to try something new. You like?” She asked while showing off a bit.

“I must say I like your hat and your sunglasses are good.” Blitz says.

Spitfire smirks. “Want to do something with it?”

“Later Fire, so that jacket keeps you warm?” Blitz asks.

Spitfire nods and snuggles into it. “Yeah, didn’t know you had something like this.”

“Nice and comfy isn’t it?” Blitz asks as a cold breeze blows by.

Spitfire nods as she wraps it more. “Yeah, really warm.”

“By the way Rarity, nice work on the foals clothes so they don’t get cold.” Blitz says.

Rarity smiled as the foals kept eating in their new clothes. “Thank you my dear. I make it a point to help my family.”

“Speaking of which…” Blitz starts.

“No, they are still grounded for another week.” Rarity and Applejack says.

Blitz sighs. “I think this has gone off long enough. Besides, Spike will be going on a mission out of the system for a while to do some business on Omega. For them, the grounding will feel longer even though it’s over.”

“No.” They say in unison.

“Well I tried. Get used to them living in the house for another month.” Blitz says.

“We said week, love.” Rarity says.

Blitz nods. “And Spike leaves within a week. So get used to the begging.”

“We have earplugs.” Rarity says.

Blitz shrugs. “Hey, your sisters, your problem.”

Applejack waves him off. “They’ll be fine. What are they going to do, run off, we got them watched now.”

“And if they do, we could always send them to a strict boarding school.” Rarity adds.

The others just looked at them wearily before scooting away a bit. “Okay.” Pinkie said.

“They are saying if they won’t listen and keep defying them, they will see how they like living under somepony else and never get a chance to see Spike.” Blitz says.

Pinkie shrugs. “So where do they go?”

“I’m thinking of E.P.B.” Applejack says.

Blitz shrugs. “Like I said, your sister, your choice. You do whatever you want with your slave…oops, I mean sister.”

“That was uncalled for.” Spitfire says smacking him on the back of the head.

Blitz chuckles. “Sorry, but it’s just sounding like that when you just spell what’s going to happen when they do something wrong. Nothing on the good side.”

“They did something wrong as well and are being punished for it. Nothing mean. This is being a parental figure.” Rarity says making Blitz quiet down.

Blitz sighs. “That’s it, I’m done.”

“Good, now time for cake.” Pinkie says pulling a chocolate frosted cake from where Blitz couldn’t tell, but was guess was a dimensional hole of some kind.

Blitz groans. “I’m still questioning how she does that.”

“One for you.” Pinkie says cutting the cake and giving a slice to Spitfire.

Blitz groans again. “Can I have one now? I need something to lose myself in.”

“I can give you that later.” Spitfire says leaning against him.

Blitz smiled and looked at her. “How about something a bit smaller for now?”

“You know a shrinking spell now?” Spitfire jokes.

Blitz chuckles and wraps a hoof around her. “Love ya.”

“Know you do.” Spitfire says cheekily.

Blitz nuzzles her. “And what do you have to say for me?”

“Well you are not too bad.” Spitfire jokes before kissing him.

Blitz chuckles. “Really? Well what’s bad about me?”

“Well how about you prove me wrong later.” Spitfire asks, challenging and rubbing his chest.

Blitz smirks and looks to her hoof. “I will, only if you do the same.”

“Challenge accepted.” Spitfire says confidently.

Blitz grins. “Good, I won’t want you to lose so badly and leave me snoring.”

“Oh ho, you got jokes now?” Spitfire asks.

Blitz nuzzles her nose. “You know I do.”

“Got room for one more? It will be like our college years Fire.” Vinyl says leaning against her.

Blitz chuckles. “Only if she agrees and you got to tell me what went on in those years either way.”

Spitfire looks to him. “You sure you’re up for it? Don’t you want a break now?”

“Not right now, she can tell me later.” Blitz says.

Spitfire raises an eyebrow. “I meant you taking a break from us. Aren’t you tired the least bit?”

“Hey, I won the bet so I get to choose and I want to spend as much time with you girls that I can, because my job or your jobs can keep us separated like with Fleet right now.” Blitz says.

Vinyl looks at him. “How is she right now? Last time we saw her, she was still completing her old life.”

Blitz sighs. “She has Terran with her, but she’s still thinking about things.”

“Actually, I left her in charge of the Wonderbolts with Soarin while I came to spend time with you.” Spitfire whispers into Blitz’s ear.

Blitz smirks. “Really, that stallion?”

“I know he is gay, but he is still one of the leaders.” She whispers.

Blitz looks at her. “You actually find that questionable?”

“No, he has just yet to make a pass on one of our recruits or members.” Spitfire whispers as she snuggles into Blitz.

Blitz shakes his head. “You are strict. Got a camera or something there?”

“Running nearly all the time.” Spitfire says as they lay on the grass.

Blitz smiled. “And where did you happen to get the tech for that?”

“You supplied it.” Spitfire says smirking.

Blitz grins and keeps nuzzling her. “That I did. Though those bumbling security guards are working, right?”

“Oh they are. I have been really cracking the new whip. I went through two already.” Spitfire jokes.

Blitz chuckles. “I love ya Fire.”

“Show me later.” Spitfire whispers.

“I will.” Vinyl whispers.

Spitfire sighs and turns to her. “Really?”

“Yep.” Vinyl says.

Spitfire groans. “Don’t drink his blood then and we’ll be fine.”

“I won’t, I want him full of energy this time.” Vinyl says.

Blitz grins. “Oh better fill up on some food then. Who knows what you might ask.”

“Oh, but don’t you get to decide because you won your bet?” Vinyl asks.

Blitz taps his chin. “That’s true. Want something crazy or simple, you get some leeway?”

“Simple. I’m not into the whole crazy thing like Vinyl.” Spitfire says.

Vinyl grins. “Come on Spits. Have some fun, let loose.”

“I’m not the party girl you are Vinyl. I chose a military career.” Spitfire reminds.

“Speaking of which, what is the mood in the Wonderbolts having learned what happened with Celestia and Arcane?” Blitz asks.

Spitfire sighs. “Bad. They can’t believe she did it.”

“And what are they thinking of doing? Has the Wonderbolts been divided into camps of different viewpoints?” Blitz asks.

Spitfire nods. “Yeah, one side thinks she had a good reason, the other thinks she can’t do it no matter how she views it. You want harmony princess, you got to accept.”

“Maybe she has lived too long and can’t keep up with the times.” Blitz says thinking out loud.

Vinyl shrugs. “Eh, who knows. She probably got way too old.”

“The old sometimes can’t change their ways.” Blitz says.

Spitfire nods. “Yeah, they can be really stubborn.”

“Well let’s get our slice of cake before it is gone.” Blitz says.

They all look up and see the foals digging into the last slice. “Too late.” Vinyl said.

“Oh well.” Blitz says.

Pinkie suddenly climbs up behind them. “Cake?” She asks, pulling out another cake.

“Pinkamena, how many slices has Pinkie let the foals have so far?” Blitz ask.

Pinkie’s mane suddenly goes flat. “All of it.”

“That is enough cake for the foals for now Pinkie.” Blitz says motioning them to join him.

The foals run over and pounce on them as Pinkamena just stares as Sunshine looks up at her.

“Oh, look who’s daughter came over to her mother.” Blitz says.

Pinkamena sighs. “Come here.” She said opening her hooves and Sunshine jumps in and snuggles into her coat.

Blitz smiles as she lays down beside him. “You aren’t such a bad mother.”

Pinkamena sighs as she lays down. “Guess so.”

“Your daughter loves you and you are happy, right?” Blitz asks, leaning into her.

Pinkamena stayed silent until her daughter’s nuzzling knocked her out of it. “Yeah.”

“Is Pinkie doing back flips now?” Blitz asks.

Pinkamena groans. “Yeah.” She groans.

“Come here.” Blitz says holding her close.

Pinkamena sighs as she leans against him. “Idiot.”

“Love you.” Blitz says kissing her head.

Pinkamena smiled a bit. “Me too.”

“You’ve changed you know?” Blitz asks.

Pinkamena raises an eyebrow. “How?”

“Use to be you wouldn’t have relaxed or stayed out this long. Now you are here relaxing with me and your daughter.” Blitz says smiling back.

Pinkamena looks to Sunshine and sighs as she pats her head. “Idiot?”

“Yes beautiful?” Blitz asks.

Pinkamena smirks and reaches behind him before grabbing his tail. “You know your trick for us?”

“What trick?” Blitz asks.

Pinkamena grins and pulls his tail hard and makes his yelp. “Yeah, thought so.”

“You don’t want to play that game with me in public love.” Blitz says as the rest of the mares snicker.

Pinkamena tilts her head. “What are you talking about?”

“I can…” Blitz whispers into her ear before giving it a little nibble to drive home the point.

Pinkamena blushes. “Um…why not…well…”

“I will tend to your needs later love when we are not in public.” Blitz says touching his nose to her’s.

Pinkamena stayed there until she nuzzled back.

“I think your daughter wants to play with you, what do you say?” Blitz asks.

Pinkamena sighs and looks down to see Sunshine reaching for her. She smiled and picked her up before nuzzling her. “So, what do you want to do?”

Blitz smiles as she starts to play with her. “So how are you?” Rainbow asks, leaning into him.

Blitz shrugs. “Doesn’t matter as long as you girls are fine.”

“Oh that is so sweet.” Rainbow says smirking before Blast and Spectrum jump off of her and onto him.

Blitz smiles and grabs them both and nuzzles them. “Aw, want to play?”

“Get him my foals.” Rainbow says, smirking.

Blitz yells out as he is tackled by the foals and is soon tied up and started to be dragged away. “Help.”

“Have fun you three.” Rainbow calls.

Blitz glares at them as the foals laugh. “Help!”

Rainbow chuckles as he is now hogtied and then the foals sit on him, looking proud and cheering. “Good job guys. You did what other ponies who are after him can’t do.”

The two foals sit on Blitz’s chest and smile at him.

Blitz sighs and smiles. “Yeah, guess they did.”

“Rainbow, don’t be teachin them that.” Applejack says.

Rainbow shrugs. “I think it builds character.”

“No, I mean that knot is not sturdy enough.” Applejack says.

“Thanks love.” Blitz says annoyed.

Applejack chuckles as she walks over and reties the knot. “There, that’s how you tie a pony up.”

“Twi, you got any spells for untying ropes?” Blitz asks.

Twilight smirks. “Yeah, but I won’t tell.”

“I thought you were my magic teacher. I’m asking you to help teach me.” Blitz says stroking Twilight’s ego a bit.

Twilight’s fur bristles a bit. “Only if you deserve to be taught.”

“Aren’t I your only student?” Blitz asks.

Twilight smiled. “Like I said, deserving.”

“How can I be deserving?” Blitz asks.

Twilight smirks. “Get out of it yourself.”

“Ok, wasn’t going to do this, but…” Blitz says before teleporting out of the rope.

Twilight smiled. “Just had to cut at the lowest rope Blitz. Lowest rope.”

“Too dangerous, if I missed it could have hit Blast or Spectrum.” Blitz says before grabbing the fleeing foals. He grins and nuzzles them. “Aw, you wanted to tie up your dear old dad, did ya?”

Spectrum giggles under the nuzzling as Blast tries to squirm his way out.

Blitz chuckles as he pets them now. “Oh you guys. You love your daddy, right?”

“What’s the matter Blast, embarrassed your father is nuzzling you? You want to come to momma?” Rainbow asks.

Blast groans as he kept trying to get out as Spectrum nuzzles Blitz back.

“Ok, ok.” Rainbow says as Blitz lets her take Blast.

Blast sighs in relief as Spectrum looks disappointed.

“Don’t worry Spectrum, daddy will still nuzzle you.” Blitz says resuming nuzzling.

Spectrum sighs in relief and nuzzles him back.

Octavia smiles as she brushes Azure’s mane with a comb. Azure coos softly as he tries to look at her. Octavia smiles as she brushes his mane out of his eyes. Azure giggles and playfully hisses at her. “See me now my little colt?” Octavia asks, smiling. Azure laughs and hissed again. Octavia smiles and picks him up.

Twilight sighs as she looks to Arcane looking at the book on the ground. “Reading my little student?” Arcane turns his head to the side looking at the picture. Twilight sighs. “It’s a start.”

“He is still a foal Twilight. It will take longer for him to read.” Fluttershy says.

Twilight looks at her. “Fluttershy?”

“Yes?” Fluttershy asks.

Twilight stares at her. “Quiet pet.” She whispered.

“Master said I have to help raise Arcane and that overrides anything else.” Fluttershy says.

Twilight glares to Blitz who was smirking and sticking out his tongue. “Tell her to but out.”

“No.” Blitz says playfully as Spectrum rode on his head.

Twilight groans and sees Fluttershy smiling as she pets Arcane.

“Who is a handsome little foal?” Fluttershy asks,

As Twilight looked at Blitz, she noticed he was sending her a message in morse code with his eyes. ‘She won’t stop even if I tell her until she gets her own.’

Twilight rolls her eyes before doing the same. ‘Then get busy.’

‘Working on it for all of them and Fleetfoot will be included when she gets here.’ Blitz sends discreetly.

Twilight shakes her head. ‘Hate you.’

‘You’re adorable, teaching Arcane.’ Blitz sends.

Twilight clicks her tongue. “Fluttershy, that is enough.”

“Oh, but he is so cute though.” Fluttershy says holding Arcane now.

Arcane giggles and nuzzles her back.

Twilight sighs at Fluttershy’s schoolfilly behavior.

Fluttershy giggles and nuzzles Arcane and places him on her head. “Want to go for a flight little one?”

“Oh no. He doesn’t have proper security or even protection.” Twilight says snatching him back and holding him protectively.

Arcane moans in disappointment.

“First, we need to fasten a harness to the flier to inspect it, inspect it again, then inspect it again, then we need to put a helmet on him and…” Twilight says, starting to rant.

Arcane looks helplessly to Fluttershy and reaches for her.

‘Twilight has become such a protective mother since what Celestia tried.’ Fluttershy thinks.

Arcane whines at her and keeps reaching for her.

“What’s the matter sweetie, you still hungry?” Twilight asks snapping out of her rant.

Arcane groans in disappointment.

“Pinkie, anymore chocolate cake left?” Twilight calls.

Pinkamena looks up from her spot on the ground. “Should be in the basket.”

“You want some of that?” Twilight asks Arcane as he now perks up hearing chocolate cake.

Arcane finally nods and coos at the thought of food.

“Alright, lets go.” Twilight says carrying him over to where Pinkie told her the cake was.

Blitz smiles as Spectrum jumps out of his hooves and heads to Rainbow as Fluttershy slides up to his side. “Oh master?” She whispered.

“I heard and Twilight has already had a carrier made for herself to carry Arcane when she flies.” Blitz says.

Fluttershy giggles and nuzzles his chest. “Something else master? Please?”

“Later, maybe tomorrow night, I already promised Vinyl and Fire.” Blitz says petting her mane.

Fluttershy purrs in content. “Thank you master.”

“You are one of my wives. What kind of a husband would I be if I didn’t try to make you happy.” Blitz says before kissing the side of her face.

Fluttershy giggles. “Oh master, a request?”

“Maybe if…” Blitz says.

Fluttershy grins. “How about a costume husband?”

“For whom?” Blitz asks cheekily.

Fluttershy nuzzles him. “For you, silly hubby.”

“Oh, maybe if somepony comes with me to a party.” Blitz says.

Fluttershy smiled. “Really, what kind of party?”

Blitz smirks. “I’m thinking of a formal dance. Ever been to one?”

“Once.” Fluttershy says ashamed.

Blitz leans in. “What happened?”

“Well…” Fluttershy told him what happened.

Blitz looked a little surprised. “Wow, didn’t know the animals were that bad. I mean, how could they not love you?”

“I was so shameful.” Fluttershy says.

Blitz wraps her in a hug. “It’s fine now. You’re with me and does it seem that important now? Getting those animals to like you?”

“No, not anymore.” Fluttershy says.

Twilight smiled as Arcane ate the cake when she suddenly felt magic coming from the book in her saddlebag.

Blitz smiled as he looked over to her. “Something wrong hun?”

Twilight opened the book and read it and grasped. “Quickly, to the library in the castle.” Twilight proclaims.

They all look weird to her. “You have been playing wargames with Pinkie for way too long.” Rainbow said.

Twilight gives her an annoyed look before picking up Arcane and dragging Blitz along with her magic.

Blitz looks at her. “Um…what’s going on?”

“Will explain everything.” Twilight says.

Not an hour later, Blitz was just staring slack jawed at what Twilight had made. “You made an interdimensional portal in a matter of moments.” Blitz says in disbelief.

Twilight looks at him. “Well yeah, what made you think otherwise?”

“You broke how many laws of physics and the universe in a matter of moments?” Blitz asks, trying to come to terms with this.

Twilight chuckles nervously. “Anyway.” She said, turning around to the portal. “I have to go deal with something. While this is happening, watch over everypony and make sure nothing else goes in or out except me.”

“Right make sure nothing goes in except me and you.” Blitz says, putting on a set of his armor as he talked.

Twilight glares. “I will go alone. You however will stay here and stand guard.”

“Twi, Twi, Twi, recite the terms of our wedding vows.” Blitz says testing the flamethrower on his forehoof.

Twilight groans. “Just…stay hidden at least. You probably won’t like it there.”

“You kidding?” Blitz asks, putting on his helmet. “Stealth is my forte.” He says next to her.

Twilight quickly turns her head to him. “Alright.” She said before getting ready to jump. “Catch up hon.” She said before jumping through and disappearing into the portal.

“You six, lock this place down. No one goes through this portal and Fluttershy, guess who is in charge of watching Arcane while we are gone?” Blitz asks.

Fluttershy gasps and grabs and hugs Arcane and nuzzles him. “We are going to have so much fun.”

“Arcane, remember what I told you to do if Angel picks on you?” Blitz asks.

Arcane giggles and then they see a plate fly across the room in between them.

“You are lucky I have somewhere to be Angel or I would roast you.” Blitz says claws extended in his direction.

Angel just squeaks and hides behind Fluttershy.

“That is what I thought. Love you all.” Blitz says before withdrawing his claw heading into the portal .

“He’s going to be a reviewer in a few seconds.” Luna said as she played on a tablet.

“Wha?” They all ask.
