Blitz sighs as he pulls on the collar a bit and pulls Fleetfoot and Fluttershy. “So, how are you two?”

“I’m great, my loving husband.” Fluttershy says as Fleetfoot was still in the afterglow.

Blitz smiles and pulls on Fluttershy’s collar and kisses her once he gets close before they both look to Fleetfoot. “Oh Fleetfoot?” He sang. Fleetfoot doesn’t respond as Blitz lifts her up and removes her collar. Blitz sighs and looks back to Fluttershy. “Pet, clean her up once she’s coherent, okay?”

“Ok Bli…” Fluttershy was cut off when Blitz talked again.

“And don’t play with her anymore for awhile.” Blitz says.

Fluttershy blushes. “And while I’m alone and need some fun? Who will be my fun for the night?”

Blitz clears his throat.

Fluttershy blushes even more. “Thanks.”

“I am wondering how you will act when you have a foal of your own?” Blitz asks.

Fluttershy smiles. “Well, I’ll treat them good. And their choice for all this.” She said looking around. “Once they’re old enough.”

“I meant will you be doing this as often?” Blitz asks.

Fluttershy shrugs. “Maybe if I’m feeling frisky.”

“Around your foals?” Blitz asks.

“Oh heavens no. I don’t want to scare them.” Fluttershy says.

“Good girl.” Blitz says petting her.

Fluttershy purrs. “Remember in the beginning with all this?”

“I still have a hard time, but thankfully you have shied away from wanting me to hit you.” Blitz says holding her.

Fluttershy smiles. “Yeah, but I actually miss it a bit.”

“But I don’t hear you complaining.” Blitz says.

Fluttershy sighs. “Because I know you probably won’t do it after all this time.”

“And?” Blitz asks, yanking her tail with his hoof.

Fluttershy yelps. “You love me?”

“Do I need to answer that?” Blitz asks, smirking.

Fluttershy shakes her head. “No, you don’t. At least…nevermind.”

Blitz kisses her neck. “You best go love, Rarity will want you to soak with her in the hot spring.” Blitz says.

Fluttershy nods and kisses his cheek. “Okay, what about her?” She asks pointing to the now sleeping Fleetfoot.

“Take her and wash yourself and her up.” Blitz says before nibbling lightly on her ear.

Fluttershy blushes and moans and moves a bit closer to him. “I love you Blitz.”

“Love you too Flutters. Now, best get going.” Blitz says to her.

Fluttershy nods and lets him leave before feeling her tail being pulled hard and then snapped back. “Always a good feeling.”

Blitz smiles as he walks along the castle to find some of the foals awake and running down the hall. “Alright guys, who are you hiding from?”

“Spectrum, Blast, where are you?!” Blitz hears Rainbow call in a playful tone.

Blast giggles as he hides behind Blitz and tries to hide himself, but let’s his tail hang out without knowing it.

Blitz smirks as he waits for Rainbow. “Oh Spectrum, Blast.” Rainbow calls and sees Blitz. “Oh hey, did you see him?”

“I haven’t seen either of the twins.” Blitz says, his eyes leading to his hind hoof.

Rainbow smirks as she sees the tail. “Okay, guess I might as well look here!” She said grabbing Blast with him cheering at her. Spectrum runs out and tries to run away.

“There goes your filly Rainbow, trying to outrun you on hoof.” Blitz says smirking.

Rainbow grins. “You are not getting away that easy! Thanks Blitz for the time that gave me them by the way.” She said, winking.

“Of course, they are my foals. Isn’t that right, Blast?” Blitz asks.

Blast laughs and reaches for him and he gives him a hug before giving him back to Rainbow and she flies after Spectrum. He chuckles and continues to walk and heads to the Wonderbolt’s room and finds both mares reading away. “Hey girls, you okay?”

“I don’t think that Inferno will work Spitfire.” Shadow says.

Blitz smiles as he walks up. “Come on, what am I? Invisible?”

“Oh, of course not love.” Spitfire says leaning against him.

Blitz smiles as he wraps a hoof around her. “So, thinking of names?”

“Yeah. Thanks to you, she isn’t frantically looking for a name anymore, but still looking for one.” Spitfire says.

Blitz smiles as he looks to Shadow. “So…happy that you have a foal, right?”

“You think ordering a crib for the foal now is too soon?” Shadow asks.

Blitz nods. “For now. You are way too excited, so please ask the others for advice. Also, come on girls, we are doing a family soak in the hot spring.” Blitz says.

They both smile and start moving to the door. “Meet you there.” Spitfire said.

Blitz smirks and uses his magic to playfully yank their tails.

They both yelp before playfully glaring at him. “You better hope to have the suit.” Shadow said.

“We are soaking in the hotsprings and the foals will be there so none of that.” Blitz says.

“Aw.” Shadow whines before being pulled by the ear. “Ow, ow, ow, ow. Easy!” Shadow calls as Spitfire drags her away.

“Remember love, you are pregnant now. We can’t do that or we risk hurting the foal.” Blitz says walking out with them.

Spitfire grabs his collar and throws him in the other direction. “Go get the others.”

“Love you too Fire.” Blitz says skidding across the floor.

Blitz chuckles as he walks along. “I love this family.” He said to himself before being tied up by a rope and then dragged into a room. “Hey Jackie.” Blitz says in the pitch black room.

He feels a hug and many hairs falling around him. “Hey Blitzy.” Applejack said next to his ear.

“Having fun.” Blitz asks.

Applejack nods and nuzzles him. “Yeah, love ya.”

“You can snuggle up to me as much as you want at the hot springs. We are having a family soak.” Blitz says leaning into where he felt the hair.

Applejack nods against him. “Remember when I first met you?”

“You used me for target practice throwing apples.” Blitz says.

Applejack smiles. “Yeah, the fun days. And remember how you left me on the bed?”

“How long did it take you to untie yourself from that trap?” Blitz asks, smirking.

Applejack runs a hoof across his chest. “About a few minutes. You need to work on your skills.”

“That was when I was a little colt love.” Blitz says slipping out of the rope.

Applejack looks at him in the little light. “And remember from the last time you left me on the bed, knocked out, wet, dirty and pleased?”

“Nearly two months ago.” Blitz says, rubbing his hoof along her.

Applejack nods. “Yeah, I actually wanted to cuddle with you.”

“Tell you what, you can in the hot springs while the others play with the foals.” Blitz says,

Applejack smiles. “I would like that.” She whispered.

“Good. You best go wash that sexy flank of yours up then.” Blitz says.

Applejack sighs and gives a kiss on the cheek before heading for the hot springs. “See ya there.”

“See you soon.” Blitz says playfully yanking her tail with his hoof.

Applejack yelps a little as she keeps walking with a blush on her face.

Blitz smirks as he heads out of the room and goes down the hall again. “At least they are satisfied. Now for Pinkie.” Blitz says before starting to play a song on his communicator.

“What are you doing idiot?” Pinkamena asks from behind him. “Playing a crazy song like that? She’s busy.”

“Trying to get you or Pinkie’s attention, love.” Blitz walks up to her.

Pinkamena watches him as he inspects her. “What are you doing?”

“And here you are.” Blitz says getting the laughing Sunshine.

Pinkamena watches as he plays around. “What’s the lesson with me?”

“Oh how careless of me.” Blitz says before kissing her and slipping his tongue into her mouth.

Pinkamena moans into the kiss as she hangs onto him before breaking it. “Now you must be punished.”

“Later love, for now I’m gathering up all the family to soak in the hot spring together.” Blitz says.

Pinkamena huffs. “Fine.” She said, grabbing Sunshine. “Bye idiot.” She said walking away only to feel her tail being playfully yanked by a hoof.

“We will have fun later tonight.” Blitz says.

“With others?” She asks a bit away.

“Not sure at this point, but Twi is caught up in her experiments and Lightning is drilling the militia and thinking of transferring some into the guards.” Blitz says.

Pinkamena chuckles. “I’m going to love drilling them.” She said, taking out a knife.

“We need them intact, love. Save it for when the ghosts arrive. They are battle hardened soldiers and I requested they would be transferred back under my command.” Blitz says.

Pinkamena darkly chuckles. “Really?”

“Yes, you can help drill them into the dirt.” Blitz says walking up beside her and rubbing into her side.

Pinkamena sighs as she nuzzles back. “You are insatiable.”

“I learned from the best.” Blitz says.

Pinkamena smiles. “She’s going to need a little frosting soon.”

“She will get some tonight with you.” Blitz says.

Pinkamena smiles. “I wish we could enjoy it together, but not in the same body.”

“Unfortunately, we can’t change that.” Blitz says as Sunshine climbs on Pinkamena.

Pinkamena sighs. “At least we have you.”

“And me.” Blitz says before kissing her again.

Pinkamena smiles and hugs him. “You are just crazy. Now, what are you going to do?”

“Got to round up the rest including mom and Dusk and Ahsoka.” Blitz says.

Pinkamena sighs. “Go ahead. Get out of here.” She said waving her hoof.

“Ok, go get Sunshine washed up for the hot spring and I will see your sexy flank there.” Blitz says rubbing her flank before walking away.

Pinkamena smiles and walks to her room. “See ya.”

“See you soon love.” Blitz says walking away.

Blitz smiles as he heads down to the room coming up next and opens it to find Ahsoka mediating on her bed. “Yes?” She asks.

“We’re all going to a soak in the hot springs, want to join?” Blitz asks.

Ahsoka opens her eyes and looks at him. “You sure you want me there?”

“Of course, you have been either stuck in here or searching non stop in town for the force user. Take a break Ahsoka or you will burn yourself out.” Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs. “I have been gone too long. I have to find this user or I’m in trouble.”

“Did they give you a time limit to find this force user?” Blitz asks.

Ahsoka looks at him. “Sort of. I can’t be here long or they might send another to find me and this user.”

“I have an idea to stave such an outcome off.” Blitz says.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. “And that is?”

“Let’s make a report to them. Tell them you are now scouring the griffon kingdom right now and there are tensions at the borders and some upstart noble started a rebellion to try to become king. So you can’t move around as freely, coupled with the fact the natives of this kingdom are wary of you.” Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiles. “And you come up with the craziest things a lot. At least they work.”

“Well none of it is a lie.” Blitz says smirking.

Ahsoka sighs and scratches his head. “Still so cute.”

Blitz resists her scratching a bit. “Surprised.” Blitz says barely holding it back.

Ahsoka chuckles and brings him in for a hug. “So cute.”

“I bet the female jedi will be jealous of you if they saw what creatures you were dealing with.” Blitz asks as Azure snuck in as Ahsoka opened the encrypted com channel, connected to her ship.

Ahsoka shakes her head as some of the jedi council comes on. “Padawan Tano, how’s your progress?” Obi Wan asks.

“I am still searching, but there are some complications. I’m currently in, what the natives call, the griffon kingdom. Master, one of the most common languages spoken here is galactic common, could there be a connection?” Ahsoka asks.

Obi Wan thinks of that. “Maybe, we would have to see more, but for now, find that user and we’ll investigate that part later.”

“Well I might be delayed on my search masters.” Ahsoka says sheepishly.

Windu raises an eyebrow. “How?”

“You see, there is tension along the border of the kingdom as they recently ended a war and an upstart noble wants to be king so he…” Obi-Wan finished her sentence.

“Started a rebellion.”

“Yeah, so with the locals already being wary of me, that only complicates the matter more.” Ahsoka says as Azure tries to climb up onto her bed.

They all look at the little foal on the bed near her. “What and who is that?” Obi Wan asks.

“Huh…oh hey, how did you get in here little one?” Ahsoka says picking Azure up as soon as she sees him.

Azure laughs and reaches for her.

“Sorry master. This is one of the local children. He is also the son of the lord who is letting me reside in his castle.” Ahsoka says.

Windu nods. “You are at least okay, right?”

“Yes, he has not hindered my search in any way and has even given more guides and bodyguards as I search his fief. Though I suspect it is to deter any acts against me as much as they are to watch me to make sure I don’t cause trouble.” Ahsoka says.

Azure coos and looks to the masters and laughs at them. Seeing this, Ahsoka scratches him behind the ears, making him coo in pleasure. Blitz smiles as Azure giggles and tries to grab her fingers.

“Very well Ahsoka, take your time with your search. We don’t want you to miss this force user or be in a diplomatic incident. We don’t need the separatists getting a reason to go to that system.” Plo Koon says.

“They would have to pass through alliance space to get there and we don’t need such an insertion to spark the alliance coming in and making this a three way war.” Obi-Wan says.

Ahsoka nods. “Like that past jedi war other than separatists?”

“Yes, let us not have a repeat when the jedi tried to forcibly take a force sensitive turian from his family.” Kit Fisto says.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. “And the reason we won’t reveal that? It would make it worse once it comes out from someone other than us.”

“We have our reasons. We have also been researching the records you found of Padawan, someone seemed to erase the files not long after you sent them to master Obi-Wan.” Mace Windu says.

Ahsoka raises a finger at Blitz and points at him subtly. “At least some truth needs to be revealed. If we have all our ‘secret files’ come out, that’s our death warrant.”

“Possibly, but a lot of these records have been sealed for millennia and revealing them now may give the separatists ammo politically.” Mace Windu says.

“A discussion for another time, this is.” Yoda says.

Ahsoka nods. “Fine.”

“Well, taking into these accounts, we can see this won’t be a short visit for you. Tell us, do you have the next destination in mind if you can not find the force sensitive individual?” Plo Koon asks.

Ahsoka looks to Blitz who is holding a map and pointing to the zebra tribes territory. “Yes, the land is called zebra territory.”

“Zebra?” Most of the council asks.

Ahsoka smiles. “Don’t bother.”

“Well shall let you return to your search Ahsoka, but please try and contact us more. Your master worries about you.” Obi-Wan says.

Ahsoka sighs. “Just tell Anakin I’m following his teachings.”

“I shall.” Obi-Wan says as they end the communication.

“Maybe not the best way to end that.” Blitz says snickering.

Ahsoka giggles. “It gives my master an idea of how I’m following his teachings and he hates it when I don’t.”

“Should I make preparations for you starting a wildfire then?” Blitz jokes.

Ahsoka chuckles and gives him Azure. “Maybe I need a relaxation.”

“Good to hear. Now come on, before Octavia starts knocking down doors looking for Azure.” Blitz says.

Ahsoka chuckles as she gets up and walks out. “Better hurry and find her.”

“That part is easy. Ok my son, point me to your mother.” Blitz says setting Azure on his head.

Azure coos and points out the door.

“Lead the way.” Blitz says following his pointing hoof.

Azure coos and leads him to another room with both Octavias messing up the room and calling out Azure’s name.

“Um…love, missing somepony?” Blitz asks.

They both look over and see Azure cheering from Blitz’s head and rush over to him before picking him up and nuzzling him.

“Our son has quite the nose, he found his way to me with it on the other side of the castle and then led me right to you both.” Blitz says.

Both Octavias look at Azure and smile at him and nuzzles him and kisses his head. “He’s such a good boy and growing.” Octavia said.

“Yes he is.” Blitz says as both Octavias could just feel the pride from Blitz.

E. Octavia smiles and hugs Blitz. “Thanks for bringing him here.”

“I also have a job for you three.” Blitz says.

They all look at him. “What?” Both Octavias asks.

“Get the three Vinyls and get them cleaned up and meet us at the hotspring for a soak.” Blitz says.

They both gasped and rushed over to the next room before cheers were heard and three mares were running the other way and Octavias and Azure followed close behind.

“Now for mom and Dusk.” Blitz says as he starts walking.

He heads down to the door covered in some ship paintings before opening it. “Yo ho mom. Hot spring, you want in?”

“One moment dear…come on, stop squirming like a foal. ” Mary says as Blitz sees her scrubbing Dusk, trying to get her clean.

Dusk groans. “I would be enjoying this if it was just me and why are you doing this?”

“Because you would only soak instead of getting clean.” Mary says, continuing.

“Mom, you adopted Dusk while I wasn’t looking?” Blitz asks.

Mary huffs. “You kiddin? She needed a bath and she wanted to go to the lake. She needs to learn proper etiquette.”

Blitz was barely holding back from bursting out laughing. “I…see.”

Dusk looks over to him. “Help me!”

“Mom, ease up on her. The entire family is gathering for a soak in the hot springs and the foals will want to see their grandmother and you want to see the newest addition, right?” Blitz asks.

Mary throws him a sponge. “She’s yours. Good luck.” She said walking out and closing the door behind her.

“Let’s make this quick so you can get into the hot spring, ok?” Blitz asks.

Dusk sighs as she now relaxes in the small tub. “Thanks for that.”

“I know mom and she has really been wanting to spend time with the newborn.” Blitz says starting to scrub Dusk’s mane more easily than Mary was.

Dusk looks up at him. “Blitz?”

“Yes?” Blitz asks.

“Why me?” She asks looking away slightly.

“I think because you’re like a fish out of sea. That is why mom is always on you to try and teach you.” Blitz says.

Dusk shakes her head. “No, I mean, why did you choose me?”

“Because I can tell you didn’t like most of the negative you and the other two sirens sowed.” Blitz says.

Dusk looked away for a bit as he kept scrubbing at her mane.

“You disapprove?” Blitz asks.

Dusk shakes her head. “No…just…I’m sorry.”

“For what?” Blitz asks.

Dusk looks at him again. “For everything.”

“You are working to make things right. You are working to change.” Blitz says moving to her back.

Dusk smiles a bit and shivers. “Do you treat all your enemies like this?”

“No. You are lucky is all.” Blitz jokes.

Dusk huffs. “Yeah, lucky enough to lose my siren abilities and not be able to head to sea anymore.”

“Not sure, if this form is because of how your battle ended in that world or if it was the method you came back through.” Blitz says.

Dusk sighs. “Maybe, maybe not. I just know I’ll never have it again. Guess it’s for the better.”

“Do you think there is anything left of your home as most consider sirens to be myths.” Blitz says.

Dusk shrugs. “Don’t know. Can’t even check and it’s been such a long time, I forgot where I left my keys.” She said with a smile.

Blitz chuckles as he finishes her tail. “Well that should be everything.” Blitz says getting up and going to get a towel.

Dusk looks at him again. “Why trust me like this?”

“You have given me no reason to doubt you. I even left several ways for you to leave, some even obvious and you never took one.” Blitz says grabbing one off the towel rack and walks back.

Dusk watches him carefully. “And why me personally?”

“I think we went over that already or do you want me to say I want you as another one of my wives?” Blitz jokes.

Dusk blushes. “Um…”

“What, not what you wanted to hear?” Blitz asks, helping her out of the tub.

Dusk blushes really hard. “Okay, that’s enough.”

“Ok, I’ll stop joking for now. You want to dry off yourself or you want help?” Blitz asks.

Dusk sighs and takes the towel. “You better get to the hot spring.”

“You are the last one on my list so I will escort you there.” Blitz says.

Dusk smiles and wrings the water out of her mane and tail. “So…what do you think of me?”

“I doubt many straight stallion or even a few griffons could resist you.” Blitz says eying her over once.

Dusk raises an eyebrow. “Griffons?”

“That is how good you look.” Blitz says smirking.

Dusk blushes. “Okay, you are just messing with me, aren’t you?”

“No.” Blitz says as if it was the most natural thing to say.

Dusk sighs and throws the towel away. “So can we go now?”

“Sure.” Blitz says leading the way.

Blitz sighs as he enters the hot spring and sees the room with three ways for both females and males and both. “Huh, guessing it’s both.” He said to himself as he heads into the middle and finds most of the family there. “Hey guys.” Blitz calls grabbing a towel.

“Blitzy.” Pinkie calls holding Sunshine who was splashing in a kiddy pool.

Blitz chuckles and gets into the water and puts the towel over his head. “So, what did I miss?”

“Nothin much, just started to relaxin.” Applejack says.

Blitz smiles and holds open his hooves. “Come here.”

Applejack swims over and lays into him. Then Pinkie gasps. “Applejack, where are your hair bands? Did you lose them in the water?” Pinkie asks.

Applejack shakes her head and makes her hair float in the water. “Just…trying new things.”

“Oh.” Pinkie says going back to paying attention to her filly.

Applejack smiles and looks up at him. “Like the new me?”

“I love you, no matter how you look.” Blitz says.

Applejack sighs in relief and nuzzles his chest. “I love you.”

“Time to relax.” Blitz says.

Applejack smiles and kisses his cheek. “Thanks.”

“Count me in.” Rarity says floating over.

Blitz smiles and opens his leg for her and she floats in and puts her head on his chest. “You are so huggable. With a few jiggly parts.” He whispered the last part as he put his hoof on her flank.

“Watch it love.” Rarity warns.

Blitz chuckles. “You weren’t saying that when we were alone. You and your cute little pout.”

“Shut up.” Rarity simply says.

Blitz chuckles and pets her mane.

“So, how’s that necklace coming along?” Mary asks.

“I nearly completed it.” Twilight whispers as Arcane is having a splash fight with Azure, Sunshine, Blast, and Spectrum in the kiddy pool.

Rainbow smiles and places in a whale floatie in the pool and they all rush it and try to climb on top of it.

“Oh, so cute.” Dusk says watching from the hot spring.

Rainbow smiles a bit. “Yeah, we really need them to like each other so play around. Maybe a playground soon?”

“But we keep moving constantly because of Blitzy’s job.” Pinkie says.

Rainbow sighs. “How long would we stay around each of our three homes now?”

“Three?” Pinkie asks, her head turning slightly.

Rainbow nods. “Yeah, Daring’s home, the castle and now here.”

“Oh.” Pinkie says before turning back to the foals.

Rainbow chuckles. “So, how long are we spending time at each of these places?”

“That depends on our Blitzy’s job.” Twilight says waving at Arcane. Arcane laughs and waves back. “My little Arcane is so smart.” Twilight says smiling.

Blitz grins. “He is your boy.”

“I’m just so proud of him.” Twilight says before smacking Blitz with her tail.

Blitz smirks and takes hold of her tail and pulls it a bit. “Sneaky.”

“You know it.” Twilight says walking away.

Blitz sighs. “I’ll say it again, I love this family.”

“We love ya too Blitzy.” Applejack says.

Blitz smiles and nuzzles her. “So…anypony who needs a night with me, switch with these girls.”

Fluttershy walks up to Twilight before whispering into her ear. “Twilight, is that ready yet?”

Twilight smiles. “It’s about done. Just need a few days.”

“Then we will have a new addition, right?” Fluttershy whispers.

Twilight smirks. “And your new pet?”

“What is that about Fluttershy getting a new pet?” Blitz asks.

Twilight waves him off. “Nothing Blitzy.”

“Oh that reminds me girls, now that we have the fief all situated, we will be going on a safari to the zebra tribes lands soon.” Blitz says.

They all look at him. “When?” Twilight asks.

“In a few days.” Blitz says while sending her a message in morse code. ‘Soon after you finish the amulet.’

Twilight nods before looking to Dusk who was enjoying the hot spring before heading back inside. “Fluttershy, watch Arcane for me while I go get something.” Twilight says.

Fluttershy smiles. “Sure.”

Blitz smiles as he could see Twilight was a little less overprotective and trusted Fluttershy with Azure more now after she had watched him while they were in the other world. “Pet, come over here for a bit.” She said returning with a nearby book.

‘Where’s the amulet?’ Blitz sends.

Twilight searches the dresser in the room leading to the hot spring before taking out something wrapped in silk. “Here is it. And give this to Blitz.” She said giving a book to Fluttershy.

Fluttershy nods and takes it and walks back.

Twilight smiles as she walks around the spring to Dusk and taps her shoulder.

Dusk opens her eyes to see Twilight. “Yes?”

“I got something for you from my husband.” Twilight says.

Dusk turns around a bit. “What is it?”

“Oh, how about you open it up and see.” Twilight says using her magic to hold the silk wrapped object just out of Dusk’s reach in the water.

Dusk frowns and gets out of the hot spring before reaching up and grabs it before unfolding it and stops. “What…?”

“Surprise, me and Blitz have been working on it for awhile.” Twilight says.

Dusk takes out her repaired necklace. “How…?”

“Well it wasn’t easy and involved studying the energy readings Blitz captured from our battle of the bands.” Twilight says.

Dusk gulps and puts the necklace around her neck and feels a surge of familiar power. “It’s…” Seeing this, the mares rush to the foals to cover their ears. “It’s such a good feeling now and it’s great to be back.” She actually sang.

Blitz smiles. “Try changing.”

Dusk didn’t hear him as she sang with her beautiful voice she had in the other world.

Blitz sighs. “At least she’s trying to not hypnotize here.”

Dusk stops singing and hugs Twilight. “Thank you.”

Twilight smiles and hugs her back. “No problem. You’re family.”

“Wait, what?” Dusk asks.

Twilight smirks. “You’re family. Blitz and his friends are always family to us. But I want you to join the family permanently. Any objections?”

Dusk looks at her necklace again before smiling. “Sure.”

“Blitzy, you have a new wife.” Twilight says in a sing-song voice.

“And that Ahsoka, is the pecking order.” Blitz says before quickly gets out of the spring and runs into the house.

Ahsoka sighs. “And that’s the guy I actually like, running away from females.”

Twilight just smiles hearing that and says. “Now, as part of tradition, you got to go catch Blitzy.”

Dusk tilts her head. “Huh?”

“We all caught him before we married him, now it is your turn.” Twilight says.

Dusk sighs and runs off where Blitz went. “Where are you flankers?!”

Blitz says nothing, hiding behind a suit of armor.

Dusk groans as she looks around. “Come on Blitz. I’m really not in a mood.”

Blitz tries to stealthily sneak away when he feels his tail grabbed. “Uh oh.” He said being pulled back.

Dusk sighs as she lays on his back. “This feels nice.”

Blitz sighs. “You caught me, but how did you find me?” Blitz asks.

Dusk points to the armor. “You left it open?”

Blitz inwardly curses himself as Dusk rubs her head against him. “You accepted Twilight’s offer rather quickly.” Blitz says.

Dusk sighs. “Maybe a change in my way of life is what I need. So why not you?”

“You know being married to me won’t be easy right?” Blitz asks.

Dusk looks at him. “Oh and what does it entail?”

“For one, I am charged with getting this planet up to space faring status which means I am more or less in charge and I have to supply them with weapons and ships for their fleet.” Blitz says

Dusk tilts her head. “So what does it involve me?”

“You could become a target for anyone who doesn’t want this change or is envious of my authority.” Blitz says.

Dusk sighs. “So do you want me or not?”

“I’m just telling you the risks of what you have signed up for and as my new wife, you will be playing with me and Pinkie tonight.” Blitz says.

Dusk blushes. “Um…”

“Think of this as the opening of our honeymoon.” Blitz says.

Dusk gulps. “What did I get myself into?”

“Don’t worry, we will take it easy on you.” Blitz says.

Dusk whimpers a bit. “Oh boy.”


“Rise and shine.” Blitz says petting Dusk as light peeks through the window.

Dusk groans. “Five more minutes.”

“Ok love.” Blitz says kissing her ear.

Dusk’s ear twitches. “Love yo…”

Blitz smirks as he rolls over to the other side to face Pinkie. “So how are you?”

Pinkie smiles as she nuzzles him. “Thanks and she is too.”

Blitz smiles and kisses her nose. “You best go see Sunshine, ok?” Blitz asks.

Pinkie nods and kisses his nose too before getting off the bed and heading out, trying to keep her tail down.

Blitz playfully yanks it as she leaves before turning back to Dusk and holds her.

Dusk sighs and nuzzles into his chest. Blitz smiles and waits for her to yawn and start to wake up. Dusk groans as she looks around before they land on Blitz. “Um…hi?” She tries as she blushes heavily.

“You sleep well after our first night as husband and wife?” Blitz asks.

Dusk still blushes. “Um…yeah.”

“Good lady Dusk.” Blitz jokes a bit.

Dusk eeps and hits him. “Sh…shut up.”

“You’re a lot like Rainbow. Now come on, I suspect mom will want to talk to you.” Blitz says.

Dusk sighs and gets out of bed with Blitz following. “You think she will accept me?”

“We shall see.” Blitz says as they enter the kitchen where Mary was playing with Sunshine as Pinkie cooked.

Blitz smiles. “Okay, I want some pancakes and some cupcakes for my wife here.”

“Coming up.” Pinkie says as Mary inspected Dusk very intently.

Blitz grins as he sits down and plays with Sunshine. “So, how did your night go mom?”

“Fine, Sunshine was a little ball of energy though.” Mary says not taking her eyes off Dusk.

Dusk shrinks under her gaze. “I’ll have some water here.”

Mary puts her hooves on her head. making her look her in the eyes for several moments before saying. “No objections.”

Dusk whimpers a bit as she tries to lower herself under the table.

“You have my blessing, just don’t hurt my son, got it?” Mary asks.

Dusk eeps and hides under the table.

“Come on Dusk.” Blitz says, pulling her out from under the table and sits her in a chair beside him.

Dusk whimpers as she tries to hide by pressing herself against Blitz.

“Relax, she has approved you.” Blitz says petting her.

Dusk eeps again and hides a bit behind him and buries her face into his coat.

“Your new stepmom is silly, isn’t she?” Blitz asks Sunshine.

Sunshine giggles and waddles over to her before climbing onto her head and coos at her.

“Aw, your step daughter loves you already.” Blitz says.

Dusk looks up and sees Sunshine smiling at her. “H…hi.”

“Aw, so adorable.” Pinkie says before gasping. “This means we are sisters!” Pinkie says after bringing Dusk into a hug.

Dusk eeps as she feels being hugged. “Um…can you…?”

“Fluttershy!” Blitz calls.

Fluttershy happily hums as she trots in and takes Dusk away before looking straight at her. “We’re going to have fun.”

“Not yet Flutters, help build her confidence first.” Blitz says.

Fluttershy looks sad. “Aw, can’t I do a bit?”

“A bit, besides you have to pack with the rest of the girls. Remember our safari and seeing all the wildlife in the zebra tribe’s lands?” Blitz asks.

Fluttershy smiles. “Come on, let’s get ready for you to be brave.” She said tapping Dusk’s nose.

“Um…ok.” Dusk says.

Blitz smiles and looks at Mary. “Go easy.”

“Ok, I will go easy and won’t go far.” Fluttershy says before humming as she took Dusk away.

Blitz chuckles. “Alright mom, are you ready for our trip?”

“Yes I am.” Mary says.

“Blitzy.” Fleetfoot says walking in.

Blitz smirks. “Sit.”

“Sorry Blitzy, Vinyl undid the hypnosis on me, but doesn’t mean I won’t sit here.” Fleetfoot says before sitting in Blitz’s lap.

Blitz chuckles as he runs a hoof on her hindleg. “Well, that was my way of embarrassing you.”

“And you had your way with me yesterday.” Fleetfoot says.

Blitz smirks. “Yeah, you like being under control, do ya?”

“Under Fluttershy’s control, no. Under yours? When did I leave it?” Fleetfoot asks, smirking.

Blitz raises an eyebrow before pinching a spot on her leg and makes her yelp. “What’s wrong? Something bite ya?”

“Only one that can bite me is my husband.” Fleetfoot says.

Blitz chuckles. “I love ya Fleet.”

“Oh thank you love.” Fleetfoot says resting her head on his chest.

Blitz smiles and kisses her head. “You’re fine now, right? About your old friend?”

“Yeah, I think I have finally come to terms with it.” Fleetfoot says.

Blitz nods. “Good. Just warn me before you breakdown, okay?”

“I will love.” Fleetfoot says.

Mary smiles as she sips her coffee. “So, when are we heading out?”

“In a few days I am leaving the fief to be handled by my secretary and my squire.” Blitz says.

“Really, giving Whirlwind some responsibility governing?” Lightning asks walking in.

“Hey Lightning.” Blitz says smiling.

Lightning smiles. “Hey Blitzy. Why the heck are you giving the job to him now?”

“He has been trained in martial skills by us for more than a year. It is time he starts learning how to govern more efficiently and the secretary was a former squire so he can teach him.” Blitz says.

Lightning sighs. “You really like messing things up, don’t you?”

“How am I doing that?” Blitz asks.

Lightning groans. “Yeah, you’re a bit of trouble.”

“It’s only for a few weeks, love, I swear.” Blitz says.

Lightning sighs. “Don’t ruin our time.”

“Love, get over here and tell me what’s wrong.” Blitz says.

Lightning groans as she walks over. “You are leading…” She stops as she looks to the side and they see the family picture of them, happy and all together. “Look at us now.”

“Ah, you are not happy. I have been so busy with work, right?” Blitz asks.

Lightning presses her lips together. “No, just…remember the old days?”

“Come here Lightning.” Blitz says opening his hooves for her and Fleetfoot scoots over.

Lightning sighs and walks over before hugging him and sitting on his lap. “Our family is bigger yes, but…look at us now. Ask yourself, where is everyone?”

“Sleeping mostly.” Blitz says using a spell to scan her.

Lightning nods. “Yeah, but where are each of them when most of us are awake? Working long hours at something, something away from family. The only thing that is keeping us together is well…” She said before looking to Sunshine happily nibbling on a cupcake. “Are those guys. They want to play together and that’s what keeps us together. Not us unless we call for it and that’s few and far in between.”

“Lightning, I think I also have news for you.” Blitz says.

Lightning looks up at him. “What is it?”

Blitz rests a hoof on her stomach.

Lightning looks down at where the hoof is. “So…?”

“It seems we have four pregnant mares, not three.” Blitz says.

Lightning sighs. “Still, do you realize what’s happening?”

“I do and that is why I scheduled this for all of us to spend time together.” Blitz says.

Lightning looks back to him. “What about when we’re not on vacation? Like just regular dinner?”

“I’m going to push for that to happen.” Blitz says as Fleetfoot lays her head on Lightning’s shoulder.

Fleetfoot smiles. “It’ll be okay. We’re still here and that’s a start.”

“Yeah, none of us have left. We just have to go do our jobs at times.” Pinkie says.

Lightning looks at them. “And yet look when we try to spend time when we should. It’s just work when you should be spending time as a family.”

Pinkie tilts her head. “What do you mean?”

Lightning looks at her. “Rarity at lunch yesterday.”

‘I’m sorry darlings, I have to go deal with some new orders and finish our standard design. Leave my lunch at the door and knock.’

“Yeah, I talked to her about that already. She has already agreed to not work as hard and spend more time with the family and Lightning, you know what your condition means, right?” Blitz asks.

Lightning sighs. “Yeah, no fun for our nights. Whoo hoo.” She said waving a hoof around.

“Not that. Pinkie, get Twi will you?” Blitz asks.

Pinkie salutes with a spatula. “Yes sir.” She said before running off and leaving a smoke trail behind. Blitz keeps smirking at Lightning as they wait and Sunshine mirrors the smirk. Blitz tickles Sunshine stomach and makes her giggle as a screeching sound is heard and stops at the door. “Last stop, kitchen.” They hear Pinkie.

“Twi, you there.” Blitz calls.

“More or less.” Twilight said as she stumbled inside like she was drunk.

“Twi, I want a second opinion. Scan Lightning.” Blitz says.

Twilight smiled as she went up to her and scans her. “What am I looking for?”

“If she is pregnant.” Blitz says.

Twilight nods and keeps scanning until she stops. “She is.”

“Ok, you know what that means Twi. She goes onto the plan.” Blitz says smirking.

Twilight smirks as well. “Oh yes she does.”

Lightning looks between them. “What the heck are you talking about?”

“It’s a new plan he has come up with for the mares who get pregnant.” Twilight says smirking.

Lightning tilts her head. “And what’s that?”

“Well think of it as the pampering plan.” Twilight says.

Lightning just gets confused. “Pampering?”

“First up, a trip to the spa.” Twilight says.

Lightning’s eyes widen. “Wait a minute.”

“Of course that won’t happen till we get back from the safari, right love?” Blitz asks looking at Twilight.

Twilight nods. “Yeah, we need to set things up.”

Lightning exhales, knowing she just dodged a bullet thanks to Blitz.

Blitz chuckles and nuzzles her. “Now say you love me.”

“I adore you, my husband.” Lightning says.

Blitz grins. “That’s my wife. Now get going and get ready.” He said tapping her flank.

“Ok…can I hunt while there?” Lightning asks, smirking.

Blitz chuckles nervously. “Let’s check with the leader nearby and see if it’s appropriate.”

“Oh, I will pack my rifle.” Lightning says running off excited.

Blitz groans. “And that’s my wife.”

Twilight chuckles as she rubs against Blitz. “Hey there Sunshine, want to play with your brother?” Twilight asks.

Sunshine laughs and reaches for her.

“Ok, here he is.” Twilight says pulling him out of the pouch on her back. “You like it dear? I had a seat made for my back so Arcane won’t fall off.” Twilight says as she puts Arcane next to Sunshine.

Sunshine giggles as Arcane cheers and they hug each other.

“Aw, they love each other so much.” Pinkie says coming back with many pancakes.

The foals cheer as Pinkie sets a plate and they dig in.

“And you have to take this one from me.” Pinkamena says taking over and hold the pancake in her mouth.

Blitz smiles and grabs her before eating away.

“Delicious.” Pinkamena says.

Blitz smiles and chews away before swallowing. “Yep, delicious. Just try it more when we have another night, okay?”

“Oh, I will be sexy.” Pinkamena says putting a hoof on his chest.

Blitz grins as he puts a hoof on hers. “Okay, now you better get cooking for the others when they get ready.”

“On it love.” Pinkamena says walking to the oven.

Sunshine and Arcane was now chewing away happily on the same pancake.

“Once Applejack, Rarity, Shadow and Lightning have their foals, we will have ten at least and only Spitfire, Fleetfoot, Fluttershy and Dusk will have yet to have one.” Twilight says.

Blitz smiles. “Yeah. Just need to worry about the rooms and everything for them.”

“Well the castles aren’t an issue, but Daring’s cottage might be.” Fleetfoot says.

Twilight nods. “Yeah, I’ll see what I can do about that. Though the foals will love it all the best.”

“Speaking of her cottage, where is Daring and Venator?” Blitz asks.

Twilight smies. “Spending time with him. Having him wear something close to her outfit.”

“Pinkamena, you mind ringing the breakfast bell?” Blitz asks, smirking.

Pinkamena throws something and a knife hits the wall where the bell was and the bell rings.

Blitz kept his smirk as he hears ponies coming.

“Breakfast!” Most of the family cheers as they rush in and take their seats.

“Daring.” Blitz says leaning over.

Daring has a pancake stuck in her mouth as Venator coos and sucks on a milk bottle in an outfit similar to hers.

“Where has my adventure and hunter been?” Blitz asks.

Daring grins and pets his head. “Cute.” She said muffled.

“Hey Venator, how are you?” Blitz asks.

Venator coos behind his bottle and keeps sucking.

“You want to see some animals Venator?” Blitz asks leaning in.

Venator coos and looks at him.

“That’s my boy.” Blitz says messing with his mane softly.

Venator coos and goes back to sucking on his bottle.

“You interested, Blazer?” Blitz asks.

Blazer looks up at him. “Uh…sure dad.”

“Just make sure you keep them charging rhinos away.” Applejack says.

Blitz waves her off. “Oh don’t worry. We’ll be fine.”

“What’s a rhino?” Blazer asks.

Applejack pats his head. “Oh you will learn them soon enough.”

“Especially since we have Fluttershy and Twilight.” Rainbow comments as she lays on a cloud with Spectrum and Blast.

Blitz smiles. “Yeah, they will teach and keep them at bay, but we need to learn anyway. Also Twi, I invited a special guest to come with us.”

Twilight looks at him. “Who?”

“Oh, there she is now.” Blitz says as Zecora walks in tired.

“Zecora!” The mane six cheers.

“Greetings my friends.” Zecora says.
