Fly to the Stars and Back (Redone)

Blitz groans as he reaches the bottom of the pole and starts blowing on his hooves. “Note to self, have gloves on standby.”

“And this is the secret cave Blitzy has. He keeps all the fancy planes and everything.” A bubbly voice said nearby and echoing in the cavern.

Blitz, hearing this, engages his invisibility. He sneaks around a few rocks and sees Pinkie and her sisters looking around with Sunshine riding Pinkie. “He’s so cool, he even let me use the super strong cannon here. Still testing through.” Pinkie said.

“He seems to have a bit of free time.” Maud says.

Pinkie giggles. “Actually, he has an army of changelings do this for him and his army of mandalorians move in the furniture. He just asked for it.”

“Nice use of a cavern.” Marble says.

Pinkie giggles. “Yeah. He can even use a small piece of rock to kill others. Like Maud against the boulder, he’s my shining knight or the darkness of shadows.” She said dramatically.

All the sisters just look at each other before looking back at her. “Sister, do you ever think he might be hiding things at times?” Limestone asks.

“Hiding from Maud most likely. He has been terrified ever since she attacked him with that saw.” Pinkie says.

“I was worried.” Maud said simply as the main door opened up.

“Ah, here it is.” The owl from earlier said walking in. “I was wondering where he placed it. Hi Pinkie.” The owl said, passing them as Pinkie waves at him.

“Hi Matty.” Pinkie said, still waving. “How’s Ash?”

Matt shrugs. “Oh you know, screeching.”

Pinkie giggles. “Broke the bed?”

Matt chuckles. “And the sound barrier.”

Pinkie giggles as the others just stare at him and Blitz facehooves.

“Come on, I’ll show you his weapon room.” Pinkie said hopping away.

Blitz groans. “I need to get out of here.” He said quickly heading to the door and heading up before walking through the halls again. “I can’t believe they are walking around like they…” He stops as he comes to the foal’s playroom and sees all the foals with Twilight around a familiar pink cat.

“So you know a lot of magic?” Twilight asks.

Lati nods as she pets Arcane. “Oh yes. I am a master of all magic, even the dark ones. The others on my team know some magic, but the only one close enough is my mate. However, I do know the most dangerous magic that my mate has chosen not to learn. What about you?”

Twilight smiles and shows some books. “Oh, I am a master of all these and some strange ones at times.”

Lati looks them over and smiles. “You’re on your way, but try and go with caution. There are some things you might regret.”

Twilight smiles nervously. “Yeah, I might have on one.”

Lati smirks and starts scratching her head. “All will be forgiven in time. Now why not help me make a magic act for the young ones here?” She asks, holding up Arcane.

Twilight smiles as the foals smile and cheer. “Sure. Let’s try this one.”

Blitz sighs as he continues on and hears the foals cheer from random magical pops. He soon just ends up wandering around and ends up at the armory and training center and hears some gunfire, old gunfire. He peeks in and sees Blazer staring at two figures. One dressed in the familiar ninja garb and the other dressed in street clothes of an old planet with holsters and ammo clasps on the belt.

The one dressed in ninja garb was throwing knives and periodically firing from an old bullet pistol at the targets at the end of the range. While the other one was just firing from two pistols that looked a bigger caliber while reloading at times from the clips on his belt by just slamming the gun at the clips before firing again.

“Excuse me?” Blazer asks.

Both figures turn to him and Blitz can see it was the female wolf and now he sees a male wolf. “Yes?” The male wolf asks.

Blazer gulps. “Can I join you and maybe figure out how to use those?” He asks pointing to the two swords resting on the tables for the range.

The male wolf looks to the swords as the female wolf turns back to the range. “Think you can handle it?” He asks.

Blazer nods and shows his swords. “Yeah, I got some training.”

The male wolf smiles and snaps his fingers and a flash occurred and the stallion stood there, but seems to have scars all over him that have intricate designs. “This would be better since you still stand on all fours at times. Come on.” He said picking up his swords and leading him to a small ring and they both drew their swords and took their stances. “Okay, nice stance, form and those blades. Huh, you got his blades. I wondered who he gave his blades to.”

Blazer’s stance wavered. “You know my father?”

The stallion smiles. “No, but I know the original owner of those swords. Why do you think they deal with energy so well?”

Meanwhile with Pinkie. “I sense someone is bullying Blazer.” Pinkie says and Sunshine was now wearing mandalorian armor in her size.

The stallion smiles as he knocks Blazer down again. “Come on, hold that stance better.”

“HOW DARE YOU!” Pinkie yells before tackling him.

The stallion yelps as he is knocked to the ground. “Pinkie! Training here.”

Pinkie says nothing as she and Sunshine start smacking him with rulers. Blitz, seeing this, sneaks away quietly not wanting to get in the middle of Pinkie’s anger.

He walks among the halls again and ends up at the kitchen to see the kitsune working with the other chefs in the kitchen and actually cooking herself with all twelve of her tails doing the work while she was wearing a fancy robe and has feathers tucked away in various places.

“Where’s my sauce?” The kitsune calls out.

Somepony throws her a bottle and she catches it with one of her tails before putting it in her hand. “Cinnamon sauce, not salsa!” She yells, throwing it back.

Blitz shrugs and heads down the hall again to see the window to the courtyard and finds the blue dragon standing on one leg on a post and staring at the sky. “You know, I’m wondering? What are they doing up there now?” She asks the falcon nearby.

The falcon shrugs as she works with what looks like a modified omnitool. “I don’t know. Probably taking a break or reading reports.”

Blitz looks up as well and thinks on that as today is somewhat of a slow day. “I wonder about that myself.”

Spike hums as he keeps placing the many ships around the planet and station as Ridley walks up to him. “Hey, you need something?” He asks without looking at him.

Ridley sighs and looks to the screen of the many ships they got. “Yes, I need to know the names of the groups you set up just in case of an attack and you can’t get here in time.”

Spike nods. “Okay, who do you want to know first?”

Ridley shrugs. “What did you get first?”

Spike smiles as he moves the screen around and stops on one group of the main battleships. “This one is called Wheaodnt.” He said as the group lit up.

Ridley raises an eyebrow. “What?” He tried to say.

Spike nods. “Yeah, Wheaodnt.” He said before panning to another different colored highlighted group of long rangers in the next step over. “And this is Whir.”

Ridley blinks. “Were?”

Spike smirks a bit where he can’t see it. “Yep, Whir.” He said before moving another different highlighted group of destroyers. “And this is Weir’s team.”

Ridley scratches his head. “Where?”

Spike holds a small smirk out of Ridley’s view as the commanders and the other pilots try to keep working as they hold back their laughter. “Yes, Weir team.” He said before moving onto the next highlighted group of carrier ships. “And this is the Witch team.”

Ridley tries to speak. “Which?” He asks, looking very confused.

Spike nods as brings all of the fleet into full view. “Yes, so you got battleships as Wheaodnt, long rangers as Whir, destroyers as Weir and the carrier group as the Witch team. So now you got all the names needed.”

Ridley tries to make motions with his claws and stops. “Which is which?” He asks looking at each as the commanders now snicker quietly.

Spike chuckles. “Witch.”

Ridley nods as he gets more exasperated and annoyed. “Yes, which is which?”

Spike smirks. “Yes, Witch is Witch.”

Ridley raises an eyebrow at him as he gains a frown. “Okay, let’s start over. Which name does the carrier group have?”

Spike smirks inwardly as he knew he had him. “Witch.”

Ridley snorts while still keeping the frown. “The carrier group.”

Spike smiles. “Witch.”

Ridley growls. “The name of the carrier group.” He said louder.

Spike just looks slightly smug as he crosses his arms behind his back. “Witch.”

Ridley growls as he seethed before sighing. “You’re starting to sound like the owls I have been hearing about.” He said pinching the bridge of his eyes. “Okay, you see the carrier group?” He asks pointing.

Spike nods. “Yes.”

Ridley smiles. “Do you know the name of the group?”

Spike chuckles. “Yes.”

Ridley looks happy and leans in. “Can you tell me the name of that group?”

Spike nods as he sees the other commanders now watching them with the other pilots with some recording this exchange. “Yes.”

Ridley grins. “Then what is the name of that group?”

Spike tilts his head happily. “Witch.”

Ridley now frowns. “The carrier group.”

“Witch.”

Ridley growls slowly. “The one that carries most of the fighters.”

“Witch.”

Ridley clenches his claws. “That group.” He said pointing to the carriers.

“Witch.”

Ridley grabs him and turns him around and zooms in to the carrier group. “This group.”

“Witch.”

Ridley grabs his clothes and takes them off before throwing it away. “Get rid of that Chris Pratt junker jacket and look.” He said before pointing to the group. “See, there’s the group.”

Spike just shrugs. “Yes, Witch.”

Ridley growls loudly as he tries to clench his claws and muscles as he claws his face. “Where is the group?”

Spike shakes his head. “No Ridley, Weir isn’t here right now because they went on a mission.”

Ridley seethed as he turns and growls in his face. “What is the name of the carrier group?!”

Spike just held a straight face. “Witch.”

Ridley almost gains red eyes at that. “The carrier group!”

Spike smirks. “Witch.”

Ridley roars in the air. “The carrier group’s name!”

Spike rolls his eyes. “Witch.”

Ridley roars all around now. “So which is carrier, what is battleships, where are long rangers and destroyers is were!” He yells counting off on his claws.

Spike smiles. “Now that’s the most sensible thing you said.”

“I don’t even know what I’m talking about!” Ridley roars in his face.

Spike waves his breath away. “Geez, freshen your breath.” He said calmly.

Ridley growls loudly. “I don’t need mints!”

Spike looks at him. “What did you say?”

Ridley snaps his jaws at him. “I said I don’t need mints!”

Spike goes wide eyed and smiles and points at him. “Oh, Mince is our scout group.”

Ridley grabs him and shakes him. “Why I oughta…” He stops as everyone in the room applauds at them. “What’s going on?”

Spike just snaps his claws and a screen with all the names and the group types that he pointed out showed on screen. “Played with homophones and an old gag that’s really funny.”

Ridley looks to the names and sees how similar they are. “So…this whole time…?”

Spike laughs as he grabs his clothes again. “Time for a history and grammar lesson.”

Blitz puts on his hat and his sunglasses. “Alright, who is coming with me to visit my cousin Fiddle Sticks and nephew Liner?” Blitz asks.

“We do! We do!” The foals cheer or some in their own way.

“Girls? Octy, I know you want to see your cousin.” Blitz said as he leans onto her shoulder.

Octavia huffs and looks at him. “Of course I do. She’s family.”

“Ok.” Blitz says as Azure comes up to his mother.

Octavia smiles as she picks up Azure. “Ready to see your cousin little Azure?”

“Yes momma.” Azure says smiling.

Octavia smirks as she looks to Vinyl. “See, dignified.”

Vinyl sticks her tongue out at Octavia.

Azure giggles and mimics Vinyl and sticks his tongue at her.

Vinyl just smirks seeing that.

Octavia frowns and turns Azure to her. “Azure, you should know better.” She berates.

Azure smiles and leans onto her and smiles as he hugs her.

Octavia sighs and hugs him back. “I can’t stay mad.”

“He is your little colt.” Blitz says.

Octavia smiles. “Yeah and he is yours as well.”

“So anyone else coming with us?” Blitz asks as Daring rocks Venator.

Daring sighs. “Sorry, need to check on my apartment and the school and this little one is getting the VIP tour.” She said holding up Venator as he giggles.

“Ok, Jackie, can you come?” Blitz asks.

Applejack smiles. “Oh yeah. I can do that. Just need you to carry me for a bit at times.”

“Don’t worry, I will. Let’s see, the teams are doing a show so Rainbow, Soarin, Spitfire, Fleetfoot, and Shadow will be supervising.” Blitz says thinking.

Rainbow snores as she lays on the couch while Fleetfoot just chuckles nervously and Spitfire shakes her head. “Yes, we will be busy at this time.”

“Twi said she was going to go to Canterlot to see her parents. Pinkie is busy helping the Cakes. Fluttershy is off taking care of her animals.” Blitz says.

Vinyl sighs. “So can we come?”

“You can Vinyl.” Blitz says nuzzling her.

Vinyl grins. “Good, because I am family as well.”

“I’m sorry you have to work love.” Blitz says going to lean on Rarity.

Rarity smiles and nuzzles him. “It’s fine. Do you want me to make anything for you? Suit, repairs?”

Blitz thinks on that. “How about fixing up most of my skinsuits? It’s been awhile since I got to a tailor store.”

“Only if you…” Rarity is cut off by Blitz kissing her.

“Happy?” Blitz asks, breaking the kiss.

Rarity smirks a little. “Well…I could use something else.”

Blitz smirks. “Okay then, how are you going to feel my beautiful big flanked mare?” He whispered, rubbing her lower back.

“Now I would like that when you get back.” Rarity says.

“You got it.” Blitz says nuzzling the back of her head.

Rarity sighs as she looks to everypony else. “Think you can give everypony a dinner meal at your restaurant? Make it worth it for them?”

“What do you think?” Blitz asks, booping her nose with his.

Rarity giggles and nuzzles her nose to his. “Bring me some takeout. I might be too busy to do anything else.”

“You ok to go Dusk?” Blitz asks, turning to her.

Dusk looks up to him. “Um…sure…can I get something to wear?”

“There is no need…why would you need something to wear?” Blitz asks.

Dusk blushes. “Um…to hide?” She squeaked.

Blitz smiles and walks over to her and lifts her head to him and gives a small peck. “Want to stand by me the whole way?”

Dusk nods vigorously. “Yes.” She said quickly.

“Then just stand by me. Sorry about leaving you girls to handle the foals.” Blitz says to the mares from when he and Twilight went to the other verse and his mother.

Mary waves him off. “It’s fine. We just love the foals. Right girls?” She asks the others.

“Oh, who is cute, you are.” E. Vinyl says tickling Blast’s stomach.

Blast giggles and bites her nose and makes it squeaks with each bite.

“Looks like squeaky nose syndrome is passed through the vampire family.” Blitz jokes.

“Looks like it.” S. Vinyl says.

Blitz sighs. “Alright, we better get going and when we will come back, we will enjoy a lot of takeout from the restaurant and eat like a lower class family. No offense to anypony.” He said it everywhere.

“Meh.” Mary says.

“Meh.” Spectrum says copying her grandmother.

“Meh.” A guard said passing by with some takeout.

Blitz smiles to everypony. “Shall we?” He asks, holding out his forelegs to the door.

“Oh, I wish Rainbow was awake to hear that.” Mary says picking up Spectrum as they left.

“Got it recorded.” Blitz calls out as the door closes behind them.

Rainbow snorts awake. “Huh, what? What’s going on?”

Fleetfoot giggles as Minerva replays the video. Rainbow smiles as she holds Spectrum and nuzzles her. “Great job little buddy. High hoof.” She asks, holding up a hoof.

Spectrum looks at her. “Meh.” Spectrum says before she boops the hoof with her nose.

Blitz knocks on the front door. “Coming.” A voice calls and the door opens to Fiddle. “Oh, what are you doing here?” She asks to see Blitz.

“Came for a visit.” Blitz says smiling at her.

Fiddle smiles as well. “Ah, want to come in?”

“Thanks, I also brought a few others. You have yet to meet a few.” Blitz says as Azure sticks his head over his father’s to look at Fiddle.

Fiddle smiles as she leans close. “Aw, who’s the cute little colt?” She asks, ruffling his mane.

“My son Azure.” Octavia says walking up.

Fiddle looks over and sighs in relief. “Cousin. Want to come in? I was about to make a meal.” Fiddle calls happily.

“Sure. How are you?” Octavia asks, hugging her.

Fiddle giggles and hugs back. “Just fine and your little nephew is aching to see his family again.”

“I think he will like my foals.” Blitz says.

Fiddle looks around. “Oh, where are they?”

“Here is one.” Blitz says pointing to Azure.

Fiddle giggles. “And the rest?”

“Arcane?” Blitz asks looking around and then turning around, letting Fiddle sees another foal on his back.

Arcane smiles and waves at her. “Hi.”

“Huh?” Blitz asks looking to his back to see Arcane on his back.

Arcane giggles and hugs him. “Hi daddy.”

“There you are.” Blitz says smiling at him.

“I have your adopted son here.” Applejack says.

Blitz looks over and sees Blazer trying to slightly hide behind Applejack. “Hi daddy.”

“Well we are all here.” Blitz says as Vinyl grabs Azure and Arcane.

Vinyl looks to Arcane. “How did you get here anyway?”

Arcane grins. “Mommy Terra.”

“Nope, it’s me.” Vinyl says before raspberrying his stomach.

Arcane laughs as he tries to grab her nose and bites onto it and makes it squeak.

“Sorry for dropping in unannounced.” Blitz says.

Fiddle waves him off. “It’s fine.” She said before a clatter came from inside. “Oh dear.” She said looking inside. “Looks like Liner dropped his bowl.” She said going back inside. “Well, come on in. Make yourselves at home.”

“He ok?” Blitz asks as they walk in.

Fiddle smiles as she picks up the bowl and places it back on the table as Liner giggles and claps his hooves. “Yes, he’s fine. Forgot about you know who.” She said heading to the stove.

“Hey Liner, remember me?” Lightning asks about getting eye level with him.

Liner giggles and reaches for Blitz’s glasses and takes it and puts it on himself and takes a pose. “Uncle Blitz.” He said.

“You do huh?” Blitz asks, smiling.

Liner smiles and claps his hooves and grabs onto his nose and climbs onto his head. “Uncle.” He cheers.

“How is my nine year old nephew?” Blitz asks, smiling.

Liner grins and slides down his neck onto his back. “Fine. Hungry.”

“You know that look isn’t complete.” Blitz says thinking over the look before smirking and brings out a black scarf and wraps it around his neck loosely.

Liner looks himself over and takes off the glasses before tightening the scarf. “Cool.”

Blitz chuckles as he ruffles his nephew’s mane.

“Aw, he looks like his uncle.” Fiddle says coming back with some cups of coffee.

“Oh Liner, you ready to meet your cousins?” Blitz asks.

Liner nods. “Yeah, let’s meet them.”

Blitz smirks as Vinyl sets down Azure and Arcane.

Liner jumps down and Azure and Arcane looks themselves over. “Woah.” They all said. “Cool.”

“Blazer. Come on and meet your cousin.” Blitz says.

Blazer comes out from behind Applejack as she takes a look around and he slowly walks over. “Um…hi.” He said, trying to wave.

“Cousin.” Liner says hugging him.

Blazer squawks in surprise. “Um…cousin.” He said, trying to hug back.

“Aw, ain’t that nice?” Applejack asks Fiddle.

Fiddle nods. “Yeah, at least he’s getting out at times and he didn’t get scared from the assault.”

“So let’s catch up cuz.” Blitz says smiling.

Fiddle nods as the foals all go to play around the playroom. “So how’s the assets?” Blitz asks as he sips away at his tea.

“Good, I took your advice and hired somepony to run it. I met quite the gentlemen who volunteered for the job, although his bodyguard called him godfather.” Fiddle says.

Blitz raises an eyebrow. “Godfather and bodyguard?”

“Yes, I didn’t give a second thought of it though. So that is Blazer’s story?” Fiddle asks.

Blitz nods sadly and looks to Blazer who was playing with the others. “Yes, I’m trying my best though.”

“Blitz here fought in the recent Griffon-Diamond war and adopted Blazer after he found his village razed.” Applejack says laying on the couch and Fiddle notices she is pregnant.

Fiddle leans over. “How long?” She asks, looking her over.

“Oh, a few months. Big guy there let me have it a little over half a year back.” Applejack says.

Blitz hides behind his tea. “No comment.”

“And you?” Fiddle asks Vinyl who was stretching.

Vinyl smiles. “Just a month ago. We had so much fun.”

“I refer to my last statement.” Lightning says.

“Oh quiet Cross.” Vinyl says.

Fiddle looks a bit shocked. “Cross?!”

“Southern Cross to be more exact and a little quieter.” Applejack whispers into her ear.

Fiddle looks at her. “Um…okay. So how’s it going for you guys?”

“You’re going to tell the entire family?” Blitz asks.

Fiddle looks away a bit. “Well…I don’t have much of a family except you guys.”

“And Braeburn.” Applejack says before Blitz and her kept reminding her how big her apple family really was.

Fiddle sighs. “Okay, I won’t tell.”

“It’s more for your protection. At Southern Cross, I have many enemies.” Blitz says placing a hoof on her shoulder.

Fiddle nods. “Sure. Just need to know when you will drop by.”

“I will let you know ahead of time from now on.” Blitz says.

“Kind of hard to believe our Cuz who I used to pick on grew up to be Southern Cross, the pony known as the protector of our world huh?” Applejack asks.

Fiddle smirks a bit and leans a bit close to Blitz. “You would have made a good husband.”

“Too bad I got to him first.” Applejack says.

“So, wait, I thought Octavia was your wife?” Fiddle asks.

“She is, remember that edict Celestia passed several years ago?” Blitz asks.

Fiddle facehoofed. “Oh, that.”

“Yeah, was caught several times to my humiliation and that was before they discovered my alternate identity.” Blitz says.

Blitz chuckles. “Remember Twilight?”

Applejack grins. “Oh yeah, obsessing over you and Cross at the same time enough that she couldn’t see it was love for you and infatuation with the mystery that was Cross. But I don’t think that mare ever had a love life before you. In fact, her love life was books.”

“I would make a joke, but I’m afraid she would somehow know and teleport in here and smack me. Oh and she is Arcane’s mom Fiddle.” Blitz says

Fiddle looks back to Arcane. “Well that explains the horn and wings.”

“Yeah, she is also very protective of him.” Blitz says as all four kids laugh as they play.

Fiddle looks at him. “How much?”

“Nearly vaped that one pony…vaporized.” Blitz says after seeing Fiddle was confused.

Fiddle nods. “So how big is your family?”

“Somehow it feels like it gets bigger everyday.” Blitz says facehoofing.

Fiddle giggles. “Hate it getting bigger?”

“No, he is referring to what happened recently.” Applejack says before explaining the incident with Twilight, Spitfire, and Soarin.

Fiddle glares a bit. “Why the heck would they ruin a life like that?”

“You remember how sometimes pregnancy really messes with your judgement?” Octavia asks.

Fiddle sighs. “They really need to pay for this.”

“And yet I had to be the one to take responsibility.” Blitz says.

Fiddle looks at him sadly. “Sorry, is she okay?”

“Yeah, adjusting well, I think though that maybe partially to do with Soarin being gay when she was a stallion.” Blitz says thinking that over.

Fiddle looks surprised. “He was gay?”

“Well kept secret by him.” Blitz says.

Fiddle was still surprised. “Wow, he was good.”

“Yeah, had a thing with Big Mac until Big Mac ended it and in a few months started dating a mare.” Blitz says.

Fiddle hisses. “Ouch. That must have hurt.”

Applejack sighs. “At least he was holding up well enough to get by on his job. Before the two crazy mares decided to make a few improvements.”

Blitz nods. “Yes, but she’s adjusting now and trying to like life. I was able to convince her at least.”

Fiddle waves her hoof. “Okay, away from the disappointment here.”

“Oh, don’t worry, I had a long talk with those two after comforting her.” Blitz says.

Fiddle sighs. “So…more tea?” She asks, holding the pot.

“Oh yes please.” Blitz says smiling.

Octavia and Applejack hold up their cups. “Okay, hold on.” Fiddle said as the foals run by.

“Oh do you have to go so soon uncle?” Liner asks.

“Unfortunately, I have a nephew, but I will be back soon. Your cousins will want to play with you some more.” Blitz says.

Liner smiles. “Thanks uncle. It was great to see you again.”

Blitz chuckles and ruffles his mane. “You too squirt. Well, gotta go. We all have jobs and everything.”

“Take care of yourselves.” Fiddle calls.

“Don’t forget Fiddle, we are to meet next week to practice.” Octavia calls back.

Fiddle nods and waves. “I will be there. Just make sure you don’t forget like last time.”

“I think that went well, don’t all of you?” Blitz asks.

They all murmured at him as the foals smiled a bit.

“Oh come on, I know you at least enjoyed yourself Octy.” Blitz says.

Octavia nods and smiles. “Yes, it was great to see her again.”

“Jackie.” Blitz says.

Applejack chuckles. “Oh, just great. I was able to see my family again in a short family reunion.”

“Vinyl.” Blitz says.

“Meh.” She said, shrugging.

“Oh Azure, I think that Vinyl needs to have some fun.” Blitz says smirking.

Azure grins and jumps onto Vinyl and starts getting away from her hooves as she tries to grab him. “Come here you.”

“Arcane, your turn.” Blitz says.

Arcane cheers as he jumps on her too and starts braiding her mane.

Vinyl cries out under the assault of the two colts.

They all laugh and snicker at Vinyl as she cries out at everything. “Does she ever calm down?” Twilight asks walking over with some saddle bags.

“Under that assault.” Blitz says as Twilight sees Azure and Arcane playing with her.

Twilight smiles as she walks with them now. “So how was your visit?”

“Somepony let it slip. What, they call me on the job.” Blitz says.

Twilight rolls her eyes. “Oh Blitzy. Come on. I have the changelings making a big meal for us.”

Blitz holds up a paper bag. “What about the takeout?”

Twilight shrugs. “You can eat that if you want. Now let’s go.” She said dragging him along with the others hurrying up.

“So has anyone come back?” Blitz asks.

Twilight smiles. “Here and there. All of the family is back surprisingly. Rarity too since she asked for a takeout.”

Blitz grins. “Well then it’s a good thing I got some for us. And nice try, but all my stealth units are linked to where I can detect them with my communicator.” Blitz says behind him.

Twilight sighs. “Oh Blitz. Let’s just hurry up and eat. I’m sure everypony else wants to eat as well.”

“I want to see who tried to sneak on me.” Blitz says turning around before he felt somepony boop his nose with hers. “I know this nose.”

Soarin smiles as she brushes her tail under his chin. “Hi honey.”

“Oh Soarin, getting into my toys, huh?” Blitz asks, holding Twilight in place by her tail.

Soarin smirks. “Yeah, you left a chest open and by the way, can I use this?” She asks holding up a hilt for a blade.

“Oh no, that is a very dangerous weapon. One mistake and I may lose my Soarin.” Blitz says petting her as he takes the darksaber without her noticing.

Soarin looks over to Twilight and smiles. “Oh, hi bitch.” She said calmly.

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

Soarin smiles as she looks back to him. “Yes my stallion.”

“Twi, don’t you have something to say?” Blitz asks.

Twilight pushes her hooves together. “Um…I’m sorry.”

“For?” Blitz asks.

Twilight sighs. “For everything I did to ruin you.”

“And?” Blitz asks.

“Can you forgive me?” Twilight asks, sincerely apologizing.

Soarin stares at her for a few before sighing. “Okay. You’re forgiven.”

“Thanks.” Twilight says before Blitz kissed Soarin.

“That is my way of saying thanks.” Blitz says.

Soaring giggles drunkenly. “Oh good. I need more.”

“You got to earn more.” Blitz says lightly pulling her tail with his magic.

Soarin eeps. “This might be fun.”

Blitz grins as he pulls both mares in the castle. “Oh yeah, a fun relationship.”

“Please make me a mare again tonight my stallion.” Soarin says.

Blitz smiles as he nuzzles her. “Don’t worry. I won’t miss a beat.”

“My stallion.” Soarin says leaning into him.

Twilight looks confused. “My stallion?”

“That is her way of saying my husband apparently.” Blitz says.

Twilight sighs. “Let’s just eat. I’m starving.”

Soaring giggles and nuzzles him. “My stallion.”

Twilight rushes into the castle. “Hurry up with that order!” She yells inside.

Blitz chuckles as he wraps a hoof around Soarin. “Oh, I love my family.”

Twilight sighs as she walks around the castle many times now before ending up in what she can only describe as the throne room. “Huh.” She said to herself walking in.

“Thinking about something?” Blitz asks walking in.

“Mainly why did I get this castle.” Twilight says.

Blitz hums as he looks around. “You know, I have never questioned that either…is that a small chair?” He asks, looking to the small crystal chair next to a bigger one that had Twilight’s cutie mark on it.

Twilight smiles as she looks to it. “Guess that is for Spike. Guess not anymore.”

Blitz smiles as he looks around and sees the other chairs with more marks. “Huh, where’s the rest of our family?”

“Applejack and Rarity are, well…they are currently in the medical wing.” Twilight says.

“Why are they in the medical wi…labor?” Blitz asks.

Twilight nods. “Labor.” She said before he rushes out and heads down the hall. “Oh Blitz.” She said before following him.

“I’m here girls.” Blitz says rushing in.

Applejack sighs in relief. “Good. Meet your new foals.” She said as Rarity smiles and looked at him tiredly.

Blitz walks over to the two. Applejack showed her bundle. “First, meet your daughter, Surgere Apple.” Applejack says showing a unicorn with a light brilliant gamboge coat like her mother and a pale, light grayish olive mane with a single dark blue streak in it.

Blitz smiles. “She is beautiful and really takes after her mother.” He said petting her mane and she yawns as she still tries to sleep.

“Now darling, it is time to introduce your new son.” Rarity says showing her bundle. “Meet Liberum Star.” Rarity says showing a pegasus colt with grey coat with a red mane and tail with a black stripe running through it.

Blitz chuckles. “Oh yeah, he’s going to become prince charming.” He said moving over and petting his head as he yawns and tries to sleep as well.

“Oh there you are son. Was looking for you.” Mary says poking her head in.

Blitz smiles as he looks over to her. “Meet the new additions to our family.”

“I know. You know I’ve helped with so many births, I’m considering filing for a license to be a maternity nurse.” Mary said, smirking as she walked over.

“Maybe you should.” Blitz says putting sponges full of cool water on both of the new mother’s heads.

Mary grins. “Yeah and maybe get away from all the troubling crimes.”

“Aren’t you already?” Blitz asks.

Mary rolls her eyes. “Um…no. I still have to hide from those from Manehatten.”

“Like they know nothing about Mary. Almost no pirate knows you’re captain Kidd.” Blitz says comforting his mother.

Mary pushes him away. “Just be with your new family.”

“You’re my family too, mother.” Blitz says.

Mary chuckles and walks away. “I mean with your new foals. They need to bond with their father.”

“Come here mom.” Blitz sys bringing her into a hug.

Mary sighs and hugs him back. “Just be with your foals.”

“You regret having to leave me behind. I can tell mom.” Blitz says.

Mary pushes him in between the two mares and the foals. “Just be there.”

“You’re here now mom, that’s what matters.” Blitz says.

Mary nods. “I know. Just that you have to be there too. I never got the chance, but I like to take it slow.”

“Take all the time you need.” Blitz says.

Mary smiles. “I will. Now spend some time as you do with every newborn, would you?” She asks giving him puppy dog eyes.

Blitz chuckles and lets her go. “Ok mom. You mind sending all who are waiting outside in now?” Blitz asks.

Mary grins. “Sure. Have fun.” She said walking out.

Blitz smiles as he sits down between them and sighs. “So how are you feeling, girls?”

“Tired.” Rarity says.

“Almost as tired as when I tried to harvest the entire crop years ago.” Applejack says.

Blitz chuckles. “Yeah, Twi told me about that. Nice try though.”

“And yet, unlike then, I am happy.” Applejack says.

“Oh, look Sunshine, new siblings.” Pinkie said bouncing in with Sunshine.

Sunshine cheers and hops onto the bed and coos at the bundles who squirm a little.

“Nuh hu, Sunshine, not so hard yet.” Pinkamena says grabbing her.

Sunshine groans as she pouts and crosses her forelegs.

“How are you doing Jackie?” Rainbow asks.

Applejack sighs as she pets Surgere Apple. “Just fine. A bit sore.”

“Yeah, I was that way when I had my twins.” Rainbow says as Blast peaks out of her mane and Spectrum from her back.

Rarity sighs. “Yes, I’m fine over here too.”

“Can I get you anything?” Fluttershy asks.

Rarity smiles. “A bit of water for me.”

Blitz smiles. “Twi, you got some thought?”

Twilight smiles. “You two did a great job.” She said looking over the bundles.

“Yeah, sleep well my little apple.” Applejack says.

Blitz sighs as he leans back in his seat. “All right. Let’s all rest for now. We all are going to need it.”

Rainbow smiles. “All right. Sleep tight you two.” She said heading out.

Pinkie grins. “I’ll have the cake and party set up soon.” She said bouncing out with Sunshine.

“Need a few blankets?” Fluttershy asks returning with bottled water.

Rarity shakes her head. “No, let us keep them warm.” She said drinking afterward.

“Ok.” Fluttershy says.

“Don’t worry Flutters, I will take care of them. You go and relax.” Blitz says.

Fluttershy nods. “Okay, sleep good master. Bye girls. Bye little ones.” She said softly before leaving.

They all wave as they settle down again. “Get some sleep girls. I’ll watch over you.” Blitz said relaxing in his seat.

“Thanks my prince.” Rarity says closing her eyes, holding her son close.

Applejack smiles as she does the same. “Thanks for this life Blitzy.”

“Thank you Jackie.” Blitz says before kissing both his mares and pets his foals.

Twilight hums as she looks over the books while sitting in the chair in what could be the throne room. “Why is this here?”

“Hey sugarcube, what are you looking at?” Applejack asks, looking a lot better than last week.

Twilight looks up at her. “Books about crystals and this castle…or what I can find. I’m trying to figure out why this castle was made.”

“I see.” Applejack says sitting in the chair where her cutie mark was on.

Rainbow smiles as she bounces Blast and Spectrum on her back. “Hey girls. How’s it going?” She said sitting in her seat that had her cutie mark on it.

Applejack smiles. “Twi is trying to figure out about the castle and why it’s here.”

Rainbow blows a raspberry. “Oh please. We beat Tirek, got some super cool powers and this sweet castle. End of story.”

“Um…Rainbow, what about meeting Blitz and everything from then?” Rarity asks walking in and taking her seat.

Rainbow blushes. “Well…those parts are great too.”

“I think it’s amazing we don’t have to clean up as much. I make so many messes when cooking.” Pinkie said hopping in with Sunshine and taking her seat on a seat that had her cutie mark.

“And those poor changelings have to deal with it.” Fluttershy said, coming in and sitting in her own seat.

Twilight sighs. “But it still doesn’t explain much. Why this castle and not another type?”

“Maybe it’s because of that crystal empire.” Blitz said walking in.

“Blitz?” Twilight asks.

“Hey loves. Oh Twi, we got something through the portal.” Blitz says.

Twilight looks at him. “What is it?”

Blitz was about to give the parcel to her when the marks on the chairs somehow came off in a translucent form and came together before spinning and going into the floor in the middle of the room and soon crystal shards started popping up from the chairs and leads to the middle of the room before forming into one and then a flat circular crystal piece came spinning out of it before stopping as a large table with, what looks like, places in Equestria as the pictures come out again from the middle and starts moving around the table.

Blitz just stares at the sight. “Was that always there?”

Twilight just drops her book. “No. Never have I seen this before.”

“Doing some remodeling love?” Blitz asks.

Twilight glares at him as he inspects it. “Wow. It looks like this thing has all the places of Equestria on it.” He said getting near a farm and moving a hoof around it.

“Hi mom and dad.” Pinkie said leaning down to her home rock farm before Blitz drops his hoof on it and goes wide eyed.

Blitz looks between her and his hoof. “Whoops, heh, sorry Pinkie.” He said lifting his hoof and showing it’s fine. “Must be like a hologram…wait, is this in real time?”

Twilight leans down to where Canterlot is. “Maybe…” She said before she gets an eyeful of a couple in the bedroom and jerks her head away. “Alright, nopony lean close.”

“Why?” Pinkie asks.

“Cover the foals’ ears first, all of you.” Twilight says.

They all cover the ears of the foals around them and Twilight sighs. “Just saw a couple going at it in Canterlot. I mean, really going at it. How does she bend like that?”

Blitz raises an eyebrow and leans close to Las Pegasus and jerks his head back too. “Oh yeah, it’s real time.”

Twilight rubs her head. “But why this? To keep spying on everypony?”

Blitz shrugs. “Well, the bright side is, just in case of an attack, this could come in handy. Wonder if it will show the tunnels as well or can zoom into a certain point.”

“I think we are about to find out.” Rarity said as she points to their marks as it stops before heading in a certain direction and the map seems to move and zoom in on a certain spot, following it, showing a small town while hovering over it.

Blitz tilts his head. “Oh yeah, it’s handy. What’s the town’s name?”

“Lets see.” Twilight says looking at another map. “Um…it doesn’t seem to be listed.” Twilight says double checking.

Blitz looks at the town on the table as it seems to only the town and the surrounding desert. “Maybe it’s new and they are having problems getting settled in. Might be a good idea to check things out.”

“Well, if anything, our cutie marks are telling us to go there…well the six of our cutie marks.” Twilight says recalling Blitz flank was bare.

Blitz looks to his flank. “Oh yeah. That. But I’m going. No way am I letting my wives and mother of my foals getting into more trouble.”

Rainbow clicks her tongue. “Please. My name is Rainbow Danger Dash.”

“I thought your full name was…” Blitz was stopped by Rainbow covering his mouth.

Rainbow shushes him. “For the foals.” She whispered, letting him go.

“What it is, cute and very feminine.” Blitz says smirking.

“Blitz, package?” Twilight reminds.

“Oh, yeah. Sorry.” He said, giving her an envelope.

Twilight opens it and pulls out a letter. “Let’s see, oh, it is from Sunset Shimmer.” Twilight says starting to read it in her mind. “Huh, seems they are getting along fine and sent a few pictures of her and the gang.” Twilight says pulling out one to see it was of both her and that universe’s Blitz.

Blitz leans over. “Wow. It seems to be really working out. Too bad he’s missing one of the gang.”

Twilight says nothing, dumping them all out so they can all look at the pictures.

“Hey, here is one of my other self and him.” Rainbow says.

Blitz looks over her shoulder as does the foals and sees Rainbow playing soccer with Blitz. “Woo, go other me.” Blitz mock cheers.

“Huh, who is th…oh, seems you were wrong love.” Twilight says showing him a picture of his other self and a Twilight in a lab coat in the science lab.

Blitz smiles. “Well, the gang is back full circle…mostly since we got Vinyl and Octavia here, but it’s back full circle.”

All the mares smiles and comment on their pictures as they look it over. Blitz chuckles as he looks to the map and puts a hoof on it and makes it move before seeing a train track. “I’ll schedule a train for us to take us to the town. Keep looking things over.” He said leaving as Arcane and Azure peek around the doorway. “Don’t bother them too much boys.” Blitz says passing them.

“Is that Spit and Fleet?” Rainbow asks.

Twilight leans over. “Oh yeah. They are assistants to the coaches for the team and seem to have the same everything like the ones here.”

“Actually on the team love. They are in the same grade as all of them.” Blitz reminds, coming back in with a camera for the table. “Got us Luna’s train. Ready for us at the station.”

Twilight looks at him. “What are you doing?”

“Taking pictures to document it and create a file.” Blitz says, starting to take the pictures.

Twilight raises an eyebrow. “For who?”

“Us, for a reference guide that we may or may not release someday.” Blitz says.

Twilight sighs. “Now we have to figure out about packing, the foals and the others.”

“Can we go?!” Arcane suddenly asks from atop Blitz’s head.

“Sorry sweetie, it could be dangerous.” Twilight says.

Arcane slouches. “Aww.”

Blitz chuckles as he takes Arcane off his head. “Hey, I got a job for you.”

Arcane looks at him excited. “Really?”

Blitz nods. “Yep, work with Blazer and Azure and keep watch over everypony. Think you can do that?”

“Yes daddy.” Arcane says smiling again.

Blitz chuckles and nuzzles him. “Good boy.” He said before putting him down. “Now run off and play. I got to see your grandmother or your step mothers.”

“Yes daddy.” Arcane says before touching Azure. “Tag!” He says before running.

Azure runs after him. “Hey!”

“You girls get ready to go, ok?” Blitz asks Twilight.

Twilight smirks as the rest of the girls look confused. “Our bags?” They ask and the changelings drop some bags at the door. “Done.” She said walking to the bags.

“Cheat!” Blitz calls.

Twilight rolls her eyes. “It’s not cheating if it’s already done.”

“So that is the situation, you think you three can watch all the foals?” Blitz asks Mary, Lightning, and Dusk.

They all salute. “Ay, ya captain.” They jokingly said.

Blitz shakes his head before hugging and nuzzling both Lightning and Dusk before just hugging his mom.

Mary chuckles as she hugs him. “Be careful. Terra has a feeling about this place.”

“She does huh? Minerva, on second thought, uses my briefcase with the hidden compartment and the invisibility spell Twilight put on it to make it undetectable by magic!” Blitz calls.

Minerva leans her head from her seat. “You got it.” She yelled back.

“Huh?” Dusk asks.

“She’s connected with the planet. It kinda pays to listen to the planet.” Blitz said.

Lightning raises an eyebrow. “Huh.”

“I’m a unicorn who can plot hyperspace jumps in his head and yet I don’t fully understand it.” Blitz says.

Lightning still stares at him. “Okayyyyy. You better get going as the train might leave without you.”

“Just got to grab a few things.” Blitz says walking away.

They all wave as the foals play behind them. “Oh boy.” Mary said before rushing off to play with the foals.

“Mary, we have to watch the newborns as well.” Dusk calls running after her.

“I want to play with the grown up foals.” Mary calls as Lightning sighs and rubs her head.

“Daring love, I need a huge favor.” Blitz says seriously.

“Yes?” Daring asks.

“I…need to take some stims with me as a precaution.” Blitz says with a smile.

Daring glares at him. “What?”

“I can’t take Terran with me even though I wish I could. So I need something in case something happens.” Blitz explains.

Daring pokes his chest. “What did you promise me?”

“I know, but I have been warned by Celestia and Luna’s mom that she has gotten bad vibes from where Twi is dragging me off too and I can’t bring Terran with me.” Blitz says pleading.

Daring stares at him before sighing. “No more than three. Take more or something stronger and you would be sleeping on the couch, none of us are sleeping with you.”

“Thanks love.” Blitz says before kissing her before ruffling Venator’s mane as he nursed from Daring.

“Remind me, why did I let you talk me into the train instead of one of my rides?” Blitz asks a day and a half later on the train ride.

Twilight smirks. “You suggested it.”

“No I didn’t.” Blitz says, glaring at her a bit.

Twilight chuckles. “Oh boy. Stop pouting my stallion.” She said, patting his head.

“I’m kind of surprised you brought a briefcase like Rarity.” Rainbow says.

Twilight taps it. “My personal information and helper.”

“Was actually talking to Blitz.” Rainbow says flicking her tail.

Blitz grabs her tail and drags her over. “Just needed it just in case of trouble.”

“Yes! I am owning you!” Pinkie cheers as she plays on her omnitool with Sunshine on the other end of a video game.

“What, our husband is packing clothes just in case.” Rarity says.

Blitz chuckles. “Yep, I am packing ‘clothes’.”

“I guess we should have too as it is in the mountains and can get cold.” Fluttershy says.

Blitz nods and looks to the map. “Yeah, it might, but luckily it’s still summer so let’s enjoy it.”

“Still snow on the mountains.” Twilight reminds.

Blitz waves his hoof. “Details and high altitude.”

“Speaking of altitude Twi, how is it coming with those amulets that allow us to change ourselves to other, as Blitz puts it, sub-breeds? You figure out how to do all three or still stuck on just switching between two?” Applejack asks.

Twilight sighs. “Switching. Haven’t figured out the three change up.”

“You will love.” Blitz says patting her head like he does to one of the foals.

Twilight frowns and swats his hoof away. “Oh shut up.”

Blitz smirks as he sticks his tongue out.

Twilight sighs as she keeps working. “How much longer is this ride?”

Blitz smiles and turns on his communicator and makes a map appear over the table. “About an hour or so...” He said, looking at the two blinking dots before the train comes to a stop. “Huh?” Blitz asks looking out to see the track just ended. “Huh.”

They all look up and see the end of the line. “End of the line ponies. Time to walk.” Twilight said packing her things and stepping out.

“Starting to think these ponies are isolationists or a part of a cult.” Blitz says following her as the train shuts down and some guards stand by.

Twilight shrugs as the others come out. “Maybe they wanted to start anew.” She said as they headed to a nearby cliff.

“You give others too much optimism.” Blitz says as he and the rest follow.

Twilight smiles. “I try to see good in others.” She said before she stops. “Huh, that’s a weird layout.” She said looking past the cliff.

“Cult.” Blitz says seeing the small village being two straight lines and one road leading to one house.

Twilight sighs. “Alright, let’s see what we got.”

Blitz zooms in with his glasses. “Well they all have the same creepy as hell smiles and the same cutie mark.” Blitz says with a straight face.

Pinkie quickly takes the glasses of him and looks through it. “Those smiles are just not right.”

“Pinkie, those don’t fit you.” Blitz says as she had to hold them in place.

Pinkie shrugs as she gives it back. “Stand back. I got this.” She said before rolling down the hill and hiding behind a rock.

“Go pink ranger.” Blitz jokes following.

Pinkie waves them over and hides under the rocks before coming upon a big one before it crashes on top of her and then it slides across the ground. They all follow and get closer before getting on top of the rock as Pinkie comes up with them.

“Alright, approach plan.” Blitz asks.

“We walk right in.” Applejack says as they all, but Blitz, start walking.

‘This is going to end badly.’ Blitz thinks, having no choice but to follow.

Blitz raises an eyebrow as he looks to the townsponies as they say welcome. “Welcome.” One mare said in a creepy drone out voice.

“Permission to freak out?” Blitz asks the mares.

“No.” Twilight says.

“Permission to choke the next one who does that creepy welcome?” Blitz asks in morse code.

Twilight looks back at him. “No.” She said in morse code.

Blitz was about to ask something else when one white pony gets a little too close to the girls for his liking. “Excuse me sir, ever heard of private space?” Blitz asks in a warning tone.

The white pony still smiles. “Well hello there. Are these mares part of your group?”

Blitz frowns. “Yes, what’s it to you?”

The white one still smiles. “Because we never had an alicorn before.”

“Well she is the princess of friendship.” Applejack says.

‘Magic!’ Blitz yells in his mind.

“Well you certainly come to the right place for friendship.” The white stallion says emphasizing the last word weirdly.

“I don’t like the way he said that.” Blitz says pushing Twilight back a bit and starts taking note of all the angles and ways he could kill.

Twilight tries to smile. “I see. Can we speak to whoever runs this town?”

Another stallion comes over and they both look over to each other and lead them to the house at the end of the village and both knock on the door at the same time. “Creepy.” Blitz whispered and received a hit in his side. “Pinkie is with me on this, right?” Blitz asks.

Pinkie just keeps staring around with a frown look. “Of course, this detector is going crazy.” She said pointing to her head.

“Huh?” All the other mares and the two creepy smiling ponies ask.

Blitz and Pinkie have a stare off with them before they all went inside and called out. “Starlight, we have new guests.” The white pony asks.

Blitz glares at the door before it slowly opens to a mare with a neon ponytail and mane. “Welcome.” She said.

Blitz raises an eyebrow. “What the…?” He asks before leaning over. “Remind you of anypony?”

“Huh?” Twilight asks as he looks at her.

“Aria Blaze, though she does see to have more than just gloomy as a personality.” Blitz says.

Twilight just looks back at the mare as she starts looking them over and their flanks. “Nice cutie marks.”

Blitz steps in front of them. “Look, can we ask how everyone is treated here before I take your interest personally and snap your spines in half?”

The three stare at him before smiling. “Oh yes. Follow me.” Starlight said, leading them out.

Blitz sighs. “Better be without a song.”

“I can’t believe it was with a song, even more, a creepy song.” Blitz said as they walked the town again before stopping. “Whoa, whoa, whoa, time out. What about medical care?” Blitz asks Glitter.

Starlight looks at him. “I’m the healer.”

“But if everyone is equal, how good are you?” Blitz asks.

Starlight smiles. “We are the same around. I just have the books that anypony can read and cast.”

“So there is nopony who specializes in medical care? What if a foal gets sick, what if somepony has a heart attack, what if somepony falls off a roof while fixing it and breaks their back?” Blitz asks before they all hear a cry of fright, followed by a cry of pain, and somepony yelling. “My back, it’s broken!” Blitz looks to the source and back. “Whoa, what timing.” Blitz says in shock.

Starlight’s eyes twitched. “Enjoy the town. I’ll be right there.” She calls to the pony who fell as she rushes over.

“It will rain hay tacos from the sky.” Blitz reads a sign Pinkie is holding confused. Starlight looks back at him before continuing onto the pony. Pinkie looks up, panting like a dog expectantly.

Twilight sighs as they start walking again. “Come on.”

Blitz frowns as he keeps hearing welcomes. “Okay, that’s getting annoying.” He said as they sat down at a table before looking at Double Diamond. “Is he following us?” Blitz asks as Rarity tries to say nothing about the fashion for sale in town.

Twilight looks to Double Diamond and he smiles and waves before she waves back. “We’re fine here.” She said as a mare comes up.

“Seems someone is keeping an eye on us. Should I use one of my clothes hangers to poke them out?” Blitz whispers to them, touching his luggage bag.

Twilight shakes her head. “No, I have a feeling that it was because of this. This town and how it is. Equal, might be good on paper, but it won’t work in the long run.”

“Saying nothing, wishing I had a flamethrower though.” Blitz whispers as Pinkie orders muffins.

Rainbow rolls her eyes. “Oh Blitz, when are you going to calm down for one day?”

“How about when I am six feet under?” Blitz says as nopony got that.

Pinkie giggles before taking a bite. “Mmm…ugh.” She stops before spitting out the muffin and stops and looks to the surprised mare. “Mmm, it’s good.” She tries to say before the mare walks away and Pinkie starts wiping her tongue.

“Excuse me, but it seems like you’re disagreeing.” The mare asks as she comes back with some napkins.

“Married ponies do that sometimes.” Applejack says.

The mare tries to smile. “I see. But you are now agreeing.”

“What, you don’t have married couples?” Blitz asks.

The mare smiles. “Oh yes. We have to as Starlight says so.”

Blitz and Applejack raise an eyebrow the same way.

Twilight smiles. “Why don’t you have married couples based on Starlight’s words?”

The mare smiled. “Oh, it’s for the protection of numbers of the population.”

“Not too different from that edict princess Celestia released a few years ago.” Fluttershy says before touching her stomach.

Blitz smiles as he holds her hoof. “How is the little one feeling?”

“Oh, I was just remembering what brought us together.” Fluttershy says.

Blitz chuckles. “I believe it’s when I saw you in the moonlight. Shining bright and showing the ultimate niceness that I almost threw up from it. Too much kindness.” He said humorously.

“Oh you.” Fluttershy says giggling, pushing him a little with her hoof.

Blitz smirks and wraps a hoof around her. “Oh my beautiful mare of the night.”

“Meet me in the basement before you leave.” The mare says before heading back in quickly.

“I got an idea, but Pinkie, you’re going to need to eat all of them muffins.” Twilight says.

Pinkie instantly panics. “Me?! Why me?!” She asks, trying to hide.

“You have the strongest stomach here.” Applejack says using logic.

Pinkie just stares at the muffins in distress.

“I’ll feed you proper muffins when we get home Pinkie.” Fluttershy said as they walked down the stairs as Blitz stayed to watch Double Diamond.

Pinkie squeaks as she lands on the steps before coming to a stop at the bottom. “My tummy doesn’t feel so good.” She asks green in the face and bloats.
