“Rarity, you in here?” Sweetie Belle asks.

“Sis, y'all here?” Apple Bloom asks.

"Girls, over here." Applejack said waving at them from their beds.

“Sis, why are ya in bed?” Apple Bloom asks.

Applejack smiles as she moves the blanket a little and shows the bundle. "Meet your new niece."

“Oh, what’s her name?” Apple Bloom asks leaning down excited.

Applejack chuckles. "She's our little unicorn named Surgere Apple."

“Rarity, does that mean?” Sweetie Belle asks as Rarity moves the covers to show her bundle.

Rarity nods and moves the blankets a little. "Meet your new pegasus nephew, Liberum Star."

“Oh hey there, little guy.” Sweetie Belle says leaning in to touch him and Liberum manages to grab her hoof and start sucking on it.

Sweetie giggles as he keeps sucking on her hoof and smiling at her. "Aw, who's a little Prince charming?"

“He is.” Rarity says smiling.

“So um, you two just got done nursen?” Apple Bloom asks.

Applejack smirks as Surgere burps. "Yep. These little ones are full."

“Ah, so this is why cuz wanted us to come and see y'all.” Apple Bloom says.

Applejack raises an eyebrow. "Yes and getting away from work. He told us that you two were still working on things for Spike when he called. How is he by the way?"

Sweetie Belle still giggles at Liberum sucking her hoof. "Busy. But he's making do for personal time."

“I see. Apple Bloom, I also have a request for you and Big Mac.” Applejack says.

Apple Bloom looks up from making faces. "What is it?"

“Could you two inform the rest of the family of the newest addition here.” Applejack asks.

Apple Bloom smiles. "Sure." She said before going back to making faces.

“Thanks and I see ya switched your bow for a hat.” Applejack says.

“Like you stopped wearin your mane brands.” Apple Bloom says.

Applejack smiles and runs a hoof through it. "Personal reasons. But I think our little friendly dragon would like a scarf on you. Maybe green colour and apples on it. You would look better."

“Nah, I like ma hat.” Apple Bloom says.

Applejack chuckles. "I meant adding onto it."

“Not yet.” Apple Bloom says before booping her nose to Sugere’s.

Applejack chuckles as Sugere giggles and tries to grab at her. "Yer really good with foals."

“Maybe.” Apple Bloom says petting Sugere very lightly.

Applejack grins. "Maybe good enough to take care of dragon pony hybrids."

“Don’t go there sis.” Apple Bloom says.

Applejack snickers. "Yer with Spike, ain't cha?"

“So Dusk, Lightning, how were the foals while we were away?” Blitz asks petting them both after every other pony went to sleep.

They both purred in pleasure. "Troublesome." Lightning said.

"But quiet after putting them to sleep." Dusk said.

“I bet you sang them to sleep, didn’t you.” Blitz says with a knowing smile.

Dusk tries to look at him. "They missed their father and mothers terribly."

“I know, but I know they like you singing them a lullaby so they can sleep.” Blitz says.

Dusk smiles. "They are starting to like me."

“Told you so, now how is my Lightning?” Blitz asks, bringing both into a hug.

Lightning sighs. "Tolerable with her around now."

“Oh there is the big and tough mandalorian I trained.” Blitz says before he and Dusk started tickling her.

Lightning tries to hold in her laughs as they assault her. "Stop!" She laughed.

“Avoid the stomach Dusk, she is ticklish in her joints.” Blitz says.

Lightning keeps laughing as she stares up at them. "Don't you dare."

“I’ll hold her, you get her.” Blitz says holding her.

Dusk smirks as she tickles Lightning's leg and she tries to hold them back. "Stop it!"

Blitz kisses her as Dusk stops and chuckles.

Lightning glares at him as he lets go and she tries to catch her breath. "Bastard."

“You are happier now, admit it Lightning.” Blitz says smirking.

Lightning stares at him until she sighs. "Yes."

“Good girl. Come on you two, I’ll hold you tonight.” Blitz says.

They both giggle as Blitz carries them away. "What are you going to do?" Lightning asks.

“You're both pregnant so we can’t do that.” Blitz reminds.

“Ok, so we are ready to start the experiment?” Blitz asks looking at Twilight.

Twilight nods. "Yep, give me a second and charge it up." She said lightning her horn.

“You sure about this Twi, aren’t age spells dangerous?” Blitz asks.

"I have to fix up Celestia and Luna." Twilight said.

“Twi, Terra fixed that, they are running the country again.” Blitz says.

Twilight sighs and turns to him and accidently sends the spell at him making a blinding flash. "So how is…oh no, oh no." When the smoke cleared, there on the ground was a little colt version of Blitz with no cutie mark and his clothes not far away. "Blitz?" Twilight asks carefully.

“Where am I?” Blitz asks, getting up and one hoof on his head.

Twilight steps close slowly. "Blitz?"

“Who are you?” Blitz asks, backing up a bit looking intimidated.

Twilight goes wide eyed. "Mary! Colt emergency!" She yells to the door.

Within moments, Mary kicks open the door. “What’s wrong?!” She calls causing Blitz to try and hide in the corner.

Mary goes wide eyed at the sight and slowly walks over. "Twilight, please tell me that's not Blitz?" She whispers to her.

“Unfortunately, it is, we had a little accident with an experiment.” Twilight says.

Mary knocks her upside the head and slowly walks toward Blitz. "Blitzy, it's your mother. Please come out of that corner." She said softly.

“Mom's dead, I don’t know you.” Blitz says curling up.

“He seems to be unable to remember anything.” Twilight says.

Mary leans down to his height. "Well I can be your new mother. Want to be part of a family?"

Blitz shivers in fear of Mary. “Blitzkrieg, this is your true mother, your sister at the orphanage found her.” Twilight says.

Blitz looks up at Mary trembling a bit. "Mo…mom?"

“That's right my little colt, I am your mother.” Mary says leaning down to his level.

Blitz tears up before launching himself at her and hugging her. "Mommy!"

“Shh, it’s ok sweetie. Mommy is here.” Mary says wrapping him in her wings.

Blitz sniffs into her coat as Twilight sighs in relief and looks through the books again. "I need time."

“Come here my little colt, I will take care of you.” Mary says before turning to Twilight. “I think you have ponies to inform you of what happened.” Mary says.

Twilight nods and grabs some books. "Let's go." She said as Mary nuzzles Blitz and keeps holding him as they walk to the playroom and finds most of the mares and foals there. "Everypony, we have a problem." Twilight said and Mary sat down at a chair. "Meet our new or rather old foal, Blitz. Before you start asking questions, meet me in the other room." She said as Mary unfolds her wings and shows Blitz as he tries to hold the wings up.

‘Oh you're so shy.’ Mary thinks nuzzling his head.

Blitz whimpers as the foals all watch him before Luna walks up to him. "Blitz?" She asks.

Blitz covers himself with Mary’s wing as the mares leave.

“Explain now!” Rainbow says poking Twilight’s chest obviously mad.

Twilight gulps as she backs up. "Um…well…I turned Blitz into a foal!" She yelled.

“We got that part. Now the why.” Vinyl also looks mad.

“Well you see, me and him were researching the age spell to prepare in case another situation like Luna and Celestia turned into foals happened and I got distracted and looked away from the little tree that was to be the test subject and at him and shot the spell by accident.” Twilight says touching her forehooves together.

"What setting do you guys want the gun at?" Lightning asks, messing with her rifle.

“Not yet.” E. Octavia says.

Twilight holds up a hoof. "But if it makes it fair, I'm working on a counter spell."

“How old?” Applejack asks.

“Pardon?” Twilight asks.

“How old is he?” Applejack asks.

“I’m not sure, but he doesn’t remember anything that happened past how old he was, so maybe before he was abducted as he remembers his foster mother is dead.” Twilight says.

“So around nine.” Applejack says.

Twilight peeks into the doorway crack and sees Blitz peeking out a bit but still holding the wings around him. "Yes, but not even the foals he remembers. So until I get a spell working, we're going to treat him like one."

“Give me a minute.” Applejack says walking out and towards Blitz and Mary.

They all watch as Applejack walks to the two and Blitz whimpers. Applejack leans down to him before smiling. "Jackie." She said pointing to herself.

“J…Jackie?” Blitz asks, actually peeking through a bit.

Applejack lays down and looks at him. "Jackie." She nods.

Mary smiles before picking him up and walking out with Applejack following. “Never would have pictured Blitz as the incredibly shy and scared type as a foal.” Spitfire says.

Twilight looks at him with worry. "Guess that Mandalorian training really hit him hard."

“He was killed for the first time at the age of ten by your species timeframe. From there, he toughened up quickly.” Minerva says.

Mary sighs as she bounces Blitz a bit. "My baby." She whispers.

“Mommy.” Blitz says just holding on.

Mary sighs as she looks at Twilight. "At least I can try to be a mother again to what was lost with Blitz here."

“I’ll keep working on the counter spell. Luna just told me she and Celestia will try and cover for him till we can.” Twilight says to the communicator.

Blitz whimpers as he peeks at everypony. "Mommy, who…who are they?"

“Oh um…they are the…mares who will help me take care of you.” Mary says having to think about it.

Blitz still whimpers as he still tries to hide from view. "And the other fillies and colts?"

“They will be a part of your family.” Mary says not having as hard of a time explaining that.

Blitz gulps as he looks out again and sees the foals peeking around the doorway at him. "Why are they staring at me?"

“You look a lot like their father.” Mary says.

“Where is daddy?” Blitz asks.

“He…he is gone sweetheart, he died before you were born.” Mary says a little sad.

Blitz looks up at her with a small smile. "What about you?"

“I’m here for you my little colt.” Mary says smiling at him as Applejack comes in with a blanket.

Blitz looks up at the blanket. "That's my…!"

“Your blanket cuz.” Applejack says smiling at him and ruffles his mane.

Blitz smiles as she gives him the blanket and he hugs it tightly and wraps it around himself.

“I’ll go start lunch.” Applejack says as Mary smiles to Blitz before kissing his forehead.

Blitz giggles as he looks up to her. "Mommy."

“Right here my little colt.” Mary says as most of the foals at the door follow Applejack.

Blitz smiles and nuzzles her as she sits down before hearing a growling sound. "I'm hungry." Blitz said, rubbing his stomach.

“Jackie went to make lunch my little colt. How about we play a little?” Mary asks.

Blitz nods. "Okay."

Mary smiles and uses her wing to bring a ball close.

(Line)

“Sharp, you there?” Twilight asks.

Sharp yawns as he gets up. "What is it?" He asks turning on a light.

“Sorry, am I interrupting something?” Twilight asks.

“Sharp please, your wife Trixie is feeling a little needy right now.” Twilight hears and sees a blue hoof hook around Sharp’s chest.

Sharp chuckles nervously. "As you can see, I'm a bit preoccupied. But what's the problem?"

“You and the others will have to cover for Blitz for a while. Something…has come up that makes him completely unavailable.” Twilight says.

Sharp nods as he gets pulled back a bit. "I got that. I'll tell the others soon enough. Is that all?"

“Yeah, get back to Trixie. Twilight out.” Twilight says cutting the connection before exhaling. “Oh I just remembered.” Twilight says before paging all vampire mares to meet her in the lab.

"What's this about?" Vinyl asks walking in with the others.

“I just thought of something, Fluttershy remember what Blitz and you had sessions on?” Twilight asks.

“…oh that!” Fluttershy says in realization after thinking it over.

Octavia and the others looked confused. "What?"

“Younger Blitz, if he remembers nothing, is horribly afraid of vampires. I mean up to the ceiling clinging to what he can be scared.” Fluttershy says.

They all look at each other before they look at Twilight. "Where is he?" Both Vinyls and Octavia asks.

“With Mary I think, but you girls got to avoid showing you are vampires around him.” Twilight says.

“She is right girls, if he is confronted with a vampire at that age, he could have a panic attack.” Fluttershy says now worried.

Twilight sighs. "Let's ease him in. Fluttershy is the least vampire out of all of you so she shows him first and the rest of you follows."

“No Twilight, we should do what vampires have mostly done through the ages and hide, we are vampires.” Fluttershy says.

Twilight rubs her head. "Just ease it in if he spots you."

“He won’t, the only reason Blitzy figured us out was he spent years researching vampires because of Bloody Mary and that hasn’t happened yet.” Octavia says.

Twilight frowns. "Just be careful. He still thinks you girls are just friends of the family."

“Ok and you hurry with that spell.” E. Vinyl says, poking her chest.

Twilight backs up a bit. "Already am."

“Good.” E. Vinyl says before leaving.

“What about succubus?” S. Vinyl asks before being dragged away by the others.

Twilight sighs and sits down. "What have I done?"

Blitz yawned as he rose from the bed. “Morning my little foal.” Mary says helping him up. It has been a week since Blitz was turned into a foal and for the majority, he has not left Mary’s side when he could help it.

Blitz's stomach growls. "Breakfast?" He asks after hearing it.

Mary giggles hearing that and lifts him up with her wings. “Ok then. Did Luna come visit you in your dream my little one?” Mary asks.

Blitz nods. "Yep. She made me a space soldier and she's really nice."

“That's nice sweetie.” Luna says teleporting in.

"Ms. Luna!" Blitz cheers.

“Hey there my favorite blue colt.” Luna says before raspberrying his stomach.

Blitz giggles as he tries to grab her mane. "Stop it!" He laughs.

“Ok, I will.” Luna says smiling as she walks around with him on her head. ‘Grandfather, you are too cute as a foal.’

Blitz laughs as he hangs on as Luna leads him to the kitchen. "What do you want?" Mary asks.

“I came to see you and Twilight.” Luna says setting him on Mary’s lap.

Mary smiles as she pets Blitz's mane. "He's fine and Twilight is almost there."

“I came to drop off a few things she requested.” Luna says before walking out, but not before waving to Blitz once more.

Blitz giggles and waves. "Bye, bye Ms. Luna."

“So how are you holding up?” Luna asks, entering the lab.

Twilight sighs as she looks over the books. "Close, maybe. But it's a small chance."

“I got the items you requested.” Luna says putting them on the table.

Twilight looks at them. "Good. Want to stay and help get this done faster? I got it set up."

“I see you used the spell on the tree and turned it into a sapling already so you figured it out for there are five in here.” Luna says.

Twilight nods. "Yeah, but this will make it stronger."

“You figured out the incantation for it yet?” Luna asks.

Twilight sweatdrops. "Help me with this last rhyme."

“Sure, you are my grandmother after all.” Luna says, smirking.

Twilight smiles. "Still can't believe that."

“Why, you did care of me and my sister, did you not?” Luna asks.

Twilight looks away a little. "Yeah, let's get this done and have our Blitz back."

“Yes, let us get grandfather back.” Luna says.

Blitz smiles as he takes a big bite of the cake. "Thanks for this Ms. Pie. This is the best." He said eating the chocolate cake.

“Oh you are just so cute.” Pinkie says hugging him. ‘I can’t believe this is our husband.’ Pinkamena says in their head.

Blitz laughs as he keeps eating as Mary smiles at him. "Aren't you going to eat?" Pinkie asks her.

“I’m just enjoying this.” Mary says.

Blitz looks confused between them before eating again. "We got it." Twilight calls out as she comes into the dining room with Luna behind her.

Blitz smiles. "Ms. Sparkle. Ms. Luna." He said trying to eat.

Twilight smiles at him. "It's time Blitz. Time to see the real you."

“Huh?” Blitz asks.

“It was nice while it lasted. Come on my little foal.” Mary says picking him up.

“Mommy, what's going on?” Blitz asks confused.

“You will see soon, but you are about to learn about magic.” Mary says before walking with him. ‘A part of me doesn’t want to let go and just run away with him. But it wouldn’t be right, even though I wish I could turn back the hands of time, I can’t.’ Mary thinks as Blitz touches the new golden locket that she was wearing. Within it contained a picture of her and Blitz in this state. ‘You are my foal. The greatest good I have ever brought into this world. I want to keep you for myself, but then I would be denying your foals to grow up without their father to guide them and I can’t do that. Oh my beautiful little colt, only now do I truly realize what a mistake I made back then at Manehattan. I should have left the life of a pirate behind me and raised you somewhere in this country, letting captain Kidd die in that fire.’ Mary thinks crying a bit.

“Mommy, what's wrong? Did I upset you?” Blitz asks.

Mary sniffs as she wipes her tears a bit. “No honey. Just that I’m happy you’re with me and in my life once more.”

“Mommy.” Blitz says hugging her as Twilight and Luna picked up on her hesitation.

Twilight looks sadly at the necklace. "Mary, it's time."

“I…I know.” Mary says putting Blitz down.

‘Poor great grandmother, this must be so hard for her.’ Luna thinks as Mary pets Blitz’s head on last time before walking away, tears swelling in her eyes.

Blitz looks confused as Twilight puts the necklace on and a blinding flash came from him and Blitz gasps in surprise as he becomes his own age. "Dang, that was an experience."

Blitz breathes carefully and looks to Twilight. "Never again and we are making some alterations to the lab." He said, taking off the necklace. "And I remember." He said before rushing off where Mary went. Mary was crying alone in her room when she felt something hug her. "Mommy."

Mary sniffs and looks up to see Blitz hugging and smiling at her. "Mommy." He said.

Mary chokes on her sobs as she smiles and hugs him back. "My baby."

Blitz smiles and nuzzles her. "Yeah and I'll always be your son."

Mary sniffs and nuzzles him back. "I love you…my baby boy."

Blitz chuckles a bit. "Yeah." He said before looking at the door and seeing Luna peeking around it. "Oh come on over and hug your grandfather and great grandmother." He said before feeling wings and hooves around them.

Luna smiles holding them. ‘My family…I have an idea.’ Luna thinks.

Blitz smiles as he looks to Mary again. "Hey mom?"

Mary sniffs as she wipes away the tears. "Yes sweetie?"

Blitz grins. "Care to read me a bedtime story?"

Mary looks at him before starting to break into an uncontrollable laugh. Blitz smiles, seeing her no longer crying, but laughing.

Luna sighs as she watches the two before walking away. "It's great to have you back grandfather."

Blitz chuckles. "Great to be back, little Lulu." He said, smirking.

“So when are you going to tell grandmothers?” Luna asks not to be too amused with the name.

Blitz smiles. "Maybe a little later. First and foremost is my mother here."

“Ok, see you later grandfather.” Luna says.

“Come on mom, let's get you some rest. You haven’t slept much since I was a foal.” Blitz says escorting her to bed.

Mary smiles. "Guess I haven't, but you were so cute."

“And you to me were beautiful and tough. Somepony I wanted to be like. I had forgotten what I was like as a foal.” Blitz says.

Mary giggles. "Well you experienced it and I became the mother I never thought I would be."

“And now you're a grandmother. The foals will need good role models like you mom.” Blitz says.

Mary sniffs. "Thanks for giving me the chance to be your mother again Blitz."

“You never stopped being me mum.” Blitz says tucking her in.

Mary tries to giggles and sniffs. "Yes and I'll tell you a story later. Maybe about your da."

“I would like that. Now rest mum.” Blitz says petting her mane.

Mary hums as she closes her eyes and turns over. "Good night Blitzy."

“Good night mum.” Blitz says smiling before turning out the lights and closing the door quietly.

Luna smiles as Blitz comes out of the room. "She is a good great grandmother as you are a good grandfather."

“Luna, give her good dreams, ok?” Blitz asks.

Luna nods. "I already got one prepared. Better tell grandmothers that you're back."

“Ok.” Blitz says before hugging her. “You have your grandmother’s good heart.” Blitz says.

Luna smiles and hugs him back. "I love you grandfather."

“Ok, I’ll let you get to it…and sorry I was never there for you.” Blitz says.

Luna sighs. "Not your fault. You weren't my grandfather until that accident."

“Actually…” Blitz starts.

“I know, but time travel is very confusing and I wish not to think too hard.” Luna says.

Blitz chuckles and pats her back. "Good girl. Now get going."

“I also have my grandfather’s brain.” Luna says, smirking.

“Yeah, yeah.” Blitz says smirking.

Luna giggles as she trots away. "Bye grandfather."

Blitz smirks as he walks away as well before grabbing something around the corner. “What do we have here?” Blitz asks, smiling holding Venator. “Did you give your mum the slip?” Blitz asks before raspberrying his stomach.

Venator giggles and tries to grab his snout before nuzzling him. "Da." He coos.

“Oh hey my little genius, look at you already saying words.” Blitz says smiling.

“Blitz?” Daring asks, hearing him.

Blitz smiles as he puts Venator on his head and walks to her voice before bumping into her and she becomes surprised. "Surprise." He said as Venator cheered.

“Blitz.” Daring says calming as she starts hugging him.

“Hey love, you enjoy spending time with me as a foal?” Blitz asks.

Daring smiles. "Yeah, you were really cute. Calling us all Ms. and playing with the foals even though they knew you were their father."

“And you dressed me in those explorer clothes and put that hate on me.” Blitz says smirking.

Daring blushes. "You remember that, didn't you?"

“I remember everything from it. Though it is weird like watching someone else's life through their point of view.” Blitz says.

Daring sighs. "Sorry about that."

“Oh and you were just gushing over me.” Blitz says smirking.

Daring smiles and nuzzles him. "It's great to have you back."

“Yes it is my mare.” Blitz says before kissing her.

Daring giggles into the kiss and holds him before breaking it. "I love you."

“Love you too.” Blitz says.

Daring sighs. "Better show everypony else."

“Lets see, what all did all of the mares do while I was a foal…hum, Twilight I didn’t see, most likely working non stop on the counterspell.” Blitz says as they walk.

Daring nods. "Yeah, we pushed her, but she got through."

“Lets see, Jackie was acting like my sister or second mother.” Blitz says.

Daring smiles. "You never forgot about her."

“Well I did grow up with her. Now lets see Pinkie was…well Pinkie and Pinkamena never came out.” Blitz says.

Daring giggles. "Yeah, she didn't want to scare you."

“Then Rainbow, mum wasn’t too appreciative. She took me flying when she wasn’t looking, but I enjoyed it a bit after I got past the shyness and looked down.” Blitz says.

Daring grins. "And you had a dream of flying."

“I bet Rainbow had the biggest grin when I held onto the back of her neck while being infatuated with the view.” Blitz says.

Daring chuckles. "Yeah and the others were a bit jealous."

“Rarity well…what did Rarity do with me?” Blitz asks.

Daring raises an eyebrow. "Dressed you."

“I also recall hugs…lots of hugs.” Blitz says.

Daring giggles. "Yeah, wanted to know that she loves you."

“Flutters well, I didn’t see her much…and never saw Terran at all.” Blitz says.

Daring sighs. "She and other vampires stayed away for your own good. Terran…after hearing about you, he stays with Minerva at the ship so you won't have a mind break."

“I remember spending time with my Vinyls and Octys.” Blitz says.

Daring raises an eyebrow. "Really? Must have missed it."

“Lets see, then there was Soarin, she took it well I think.” Blitz says.

Daring looks at him. "She was really trying to keep control."

“Spitfire and Fleetfoot help put me down for a nap with Mary that time.” Blitz says.

Daring smiles. "They were crying at that time after coming out of the room."

“I remember they gave me a kiss goodnight on my horn.” Blitz says.

Daring giggles. "Yeah and you laugh whenever somepony looks at you."

“I’m guessing it's time to bring Night and DD up to speed to what kept them away.” Blitz says.

Daring nods. "Yeah, they were worried."

“I remember our siren sang me to sleep with mum when the storm was raging outside.” Blitz says.

Daring sighs. "Yeah, you kept screaming and waking us up. We had to do something."

“Sorry.” Blitz says, looking sheepish.

Daring nuzzles him. "It's okay. You were just a foal. A very cute one at that."

Blitz sighs. "And then there was Lightning, dressed as my favorite dream, a space soldier. Seems more like she was trying to unlock some memories."

“Yeah and was handling what matters she could on mandalorian business. She wants to know how you keep up with it all, keep it all straight, and still have so much time for us and the foals.” Daring says.

“That is my little secret and that just leaves my Shadow.” Blitz says.

Daring smirks. "She held you while Mary was away. You cried a bit, but she calmed you down after she spent time with you."

Blitz smiled at that. “You know what.” Blitz says before whistling for Terran.

Terran barks and rushes at him before tackling him and licks his face.

“Hey there bud. I see you missed me.” Blitz says.

Terran barks and sits down on his chest.

“Ok, ok, boy, let me up we gotta go see the others.” Blitz says.

Terran barks and licks his face before getting off of him.

“Good boy.” Blitz says picking Venator back up and sets him onto Terran’s back.

Venator laughs and hangs on as Terran walks besides Blitz. "Great to be back." Blitz said to Daring as they entered the dining hall. "Hello everypony."

“Twilight, we are installing this anti-magic enhanced blast shield in the lab.” Blitz says again to Twilight.

Twilight sighs exasperated. "Yes, I know. I'm sorry."

“I said I forgive you. This is so that doesn’t happen again. What if next time it is Arcane?” Blitz says.

Twilight sighs. "Guess you're right. But still, come on."

“What, I’m lifting it in with the force.” Blitz says, Twilight, not happy she couldn’t lift it with her magic.

Twilight frowns. "I hate you."

“Oh and what if I do this?” Blitz asks, grabbing her from behind and starts tickling her.

Twilight tries to hold it in. "Stop." She whines.

“Not a chance.” Blitz says getting her most ticklish spot.

Twilight holds her mouth together until she bursts out laughing. "Bl…Bli…Blitz!"

“Try and say it now my loveable alicorn.” Blitz says. Twilight keeps laughing as she is held and soon Blitz stops as he keeps holding her and she panted in exhaustion. "I'm not mad. I'm actually happy you did that, because you gave me a new perspective on everything along with the fact that you made my mum happy that she can be something she never had a chance for." He said leaning back in a chair and holding her.

Twilight smiles and lays her head into him.

“Now speaking of motherhood, do you see what I see?” Blitz asks, seeing Arcane trying to hide.

Twilight smiles. "Arcane?" She calls.

Arcane eeps and pulls his tail out of view and Twilight got up and started stalking him. "Oh Arcane?" She cheerfully calls as she stalks him around everything in the lab.

Blitz smirks as he watches this as Octavia comes up behind him and hugs him with Azure with her.

Octavia sighs as she looks around his head. "I missed you Blitz."

“I do too.” Blitz says reaching back and ruffling Azure’s mane as they watch Twilight.

Azure smiles as he looks at him. "Hi dad."

“Miss me my boy?” Blitz asks as Twilight pounced.

Azure nods. "Yeah, what happened?"

“An age spell gone wrong my son.” Blitz says as Twilight and Arcane laughed as they rolled around.

Azure smiles and hugs him. "Welcome back dad and I had a lot of fun with you."

“Oh you figured it out my smart little colt.” Blitz says smiling causes Octavia to smile.

Arcane looks up at him too. "Hi dad…again. Why did mom change you?"

“You figured it out too?” Blitz asks, bringing Arcane to him with his magic.

Arcane nods. "Yeah, the magic is…familiar."

“An age spell sweetie and I didn’t mean to.” Twilight says walking up.

Arcane shrugs. "He was still fun."

“Come here Arcane.” Twilight says tickling him after she grabbed him.

Arcane laughed as he was held and tickled and Blitz did the same to Azure. "Who's the best parent now?"

“You all are!” Azure says immediately as Octavia joins in.

Twilight giggles as they keep tickling them before letting up and they try to catch their breath. "Dad?" Arcane asks.

“Yeah son?” Blitz asks.

Arcane looks a bit confused. "Did you call me a long time ago when you and mom went away?"

“Huh no, I didn’t have my communicator almost the entire time I was there.” Blitz says.

Arcane scratches his head. "I could have sworn I heard you." He thought to himself.

“Oh, did you miss your daddy while we were away?” Twilight asks before nuzzling him again.

“Oh Twilight, Venator said his first word earlier.” Blitz says.

Twilight smiles. "Really?"

“Yes, he tried to say dad. He’s not even a year old.” Blitz says surprised.

Twilight sighs. "That's our foals. Growing up now."

“Speaking of which, everypony is here for dinner.” Blitz says.

Twilight nods. "Yeah, let's get some." She said getting up.

‘And maybe I can get some mare dessert later.’ Blitz thinks, both mares recognizing that smirk.

They both giggled as the colts looked confused. "What's going on?" Azure asks.

“Oh nothing sweetie.” Octavia says.

“Arcane, want to race your brother?” Twilight asks.

"Race ya!" Arcane yells as he runs with Azure right behind him. "Wait up!"

Blitz chuckles. "How about a little appetizer?" He asks, still having the same smirk.

“Blitzy, not the time or place.” Twilight says booping his nose with her hoof.

“Huh, are those feathers from Azure?” Blitz asks, noticing Azure blue feathers on the floor.

Octavia looks down at it. "Oh dear. This might be tough to explain. Fluttershy?"

“Could be he is going through his first moulting which means somepony will have to preen him.” Twilight says.

Blitz hums. "We need a pegasus. Have Fluttershy do it and you can be there for him Octavia. She is the most motherly."

“Or any other of the mares pegasus can do it. Maybe even Night or Soarin to help them feel more attached to him.” Twilight says.

Blitz shrugs. "As long as they are being watched. Azure will be feeling uncomfortable."

“Ok come on you two.” Twilight says.

Blitz chuckles as he gets up and starts walking with them and rubs their backs. "I'm still hungry for you girls."

“So why am I here, my stallion?” Soarin asks walking with Blitz down the hall and stopping in front of a door.

“I need a favor Soarin, something has come up.” Blitz says.

Soaring nods. "What is it?"

“Azure needs his first preening and Octy being an earth pony has no idea how to do that. So could you help one of your foals with this?” Blitz asks.

Soaring nods. "Of course my stallion. Where is he?"

“In here and he is nervous.” Blitz says opening the door.

Soaring smiles gently as she sees Azure being comforted by Octavia. "Hey Azure. First preening huh?" She asks walking over.

“I’m nervous. Will it hurt?” Azure asks as Soarin lays beside him and Octavia.

Soarin smiles gently. "Just a little poke at times, but it will be fine. The feathers will just fall down. We are just pushing them to get away from being caught."

“Everything will be fine sweetie, all pegasus go through this every so often.” Octavia says petting him a bit.

“O…okay” Azure says before scooting over and sits in Soarin’s lap.

Azure waits until Soarin runs her mouth across his wings and feathers start to come out after being bit and pulled out. "See, it doesn't hurt."

“You're doing great son.” Blitz says watching as he noticed Soarin acting a little more feminine as she continued and less stiff and unsure.

Azure nods and looks at him. "What about bro?"

“He isn’t old enough to start molting yet, but with every feather you lose, a new and stronger one will grow and soon you will be able to fly.” Blitz smiles at him before Soarin kisses the top of Azure’s head before going back to preening him.

Azure blushes a bit. "Can I do it myself?"

“I’ll teach you later you cute little colt.” Soarin says before nuzzling him similar to how Octavia does it.

Blitz smiles. "I'll leave you guys alone." He said walking out.

“I’ll see you soon.” Soarin calls.

Blitz hums as he heads down the hall again. "So nice to be grown up again. It was boring dealing with being young. But at least my mom was happy."

Mary sighs as she looks back on Manehattan still burning before she removes her headdress, letting her mane flow freely and starts to remove other articles of clothing, all the while holding the bundle in her hooves or wings. Once she had effectively stripped, she lowered the front of the bundle a bit to see a sleeping dark blue unicorn. “Lets go my little Blitzkrieg.” Mary says.

Blitz coos as he turns a little in his sleep.

“Don’t worry, momma is here for you.” Mary says before unfurling her wings.

Mary flies for a while as she leaves behind the burning city and heads west and keeps taking breaks and such until she sees a large castle ahead of her. She frowns and looks around until she sees a small town down in the valley below and heads down there until she lands behind a house and looks around until she spots an inn.

She smiles a bit and heads right in as Blitz fusses a bit. "Shh, shh. It's okay." She softly said as she walked up to the counter and dropped some bits. "Single room." She said and got a single key in return and heads down the hall until she finds her room and enters it. "You're going to be safe, Blitz. You won't be taken away from me anymore or anyway."

Mary lays the bundle with Blitz in it on the bed before climbing in herself and wraps her wing around him before sleeping. "I love you Blitzkrieg."

Mary smiles as she opens her eyes again before going wide eyed and sees Blitz gone. "Blitzkrieg?!" She yelled out and the door to her room burst open to Blitz.

"Mom? What's wrong?" Blitz asks, quickly walking over.

“Oh there you are my little colt!” Mary says bringing him up into her wings.

“Mommy, I’m ok.” Blitz says blushing and tries to push her away.

Mary looks around and notices she was not in the hotel room, but in a bedroom.

“Mommy, I’m hungry. Can we go get something to eat?” Blitz asks looking up at her.

Mary smiles at him. "Sure, want to go out?"

“I…I don’t know.” Blitz says very shyly.

“It’s ok my little colt, come on.” Mary says starting to walk with him in her hooves.

Blitz kept pushing. "Mom, I'm not a foal."

“Yes you are. You are only…four years old.” Mary says not sure where the last part came from.

Blitz huffs and crosses his hooves. "I'm not a foal."

Mary giggles at this and nuzzles him. "Come on, to the market.” Mary says before grabbing a bag. When they were outside, they saw many ponies walking around. Mary keeps carrying the now slightly shaken Blitz who moved to her back and was hiding in her wings.

“Morning Mary, how are you doing today?” A pony at a stand calls.

Mary smiles. "Just fine. Came to find some groceries for my house so I can make this pouty little one some breakfast." Mary says as it was the most natural thing in the world to her.

The pony chuckles. "Alright, want some tomatoes or apples because the Apple family got a fresh batch in."

“Oh, that would be lovely. Tell me, how are those foals of them Apples?” Mary says getting bits out.

The pony smiles and gives her some tomatoes. "Just fine. I think they have their foals there helping out. Maybe this little one would like to see them." The pony said pointing to Blitz who kept cowering.

“I think him seeing Applejack again would be good.” Mary says looking back at him.

“He still has the biggest shyness thing I have ever seen.” The pony says.

Mary smiles. "That's my Blitzy."

“Oh good morning Ms. Reed.” A new voice calls. Mary turns to see a young Mayor Mare walking up with a mane of pink and wearing a track like suit.

“Oh mayor, on your morning run I see.” Mary says.

“Yes, oh, is that little Blitz? My, look how much he has grown. It only seems like yesterday that he arrived with you in Ponyville those four years ago.” Mare says.

Mary smiles. "Yeah, four years." She said rubbing her head a bit.

“Oh, your head still hurts when you hit it on that low hanging beam?” Mare asks.

Mary looks around for a bit. "Yeah, must be that. I think I need those herbs again."

“Oh don’t threat deary and I’m a little surprised that you are not packed to go to Cloudsdale thought.” Mare says.

“Cloudsdale?” Mary asks.

“Don’t tell me you forgot about those legal papers you need to file with many other pegasus for the country's population count survey.” Mayor says.

“Oh right, that.” Mary says looking sheepishly.

“I must say, I don’t envy you since you will have to go through several other things as those documents that were in Manehattan still haven’t been found. Poor dears, they are still trying to restore order over there after those guard’s actions and the pirate raid. Maybe the documents were destroyed by the fire like many other things.” Mare says.

Mary smiles. "Yes well, at least we would get back in order soon."

“Yes and it’s a shame you have to take your little foal there as well. Although the princess is at least having the government supplying a place for all the pegasus who will have to do that to take their foals to be taken care of.” Mare says.

Mary frowns. "He's staying with me."

“You will have to take that up with the government Mary, not with me. Beside at least there, he won’t fall through the clouds up in cloudsdale. I mean it is a daycare for that purpose.” Mare says.

Mary still raises an eyebrow. "Not letting go."

“Yes, I mean if he were to fall off you somehow, he would fall right through Cloudsdale. It mainly is for his safety.” Mare says.

Mary sighs. "Fine."

“Oh look there, seems the Apples finished setting up their shop.” The stallion says after Mary paid him.

Mary smiles and nods. "Okay, bye now." She said walking away.

Both Mare and the stallion wave back as she heads to the stand where she saw a big yellow coated stallion. “Ah, Ms. Mary.” He greets.

Mary smiles. "Hi there Mr. Apple. Got any apples for me?"

“Sure do. Applejack darling, could you hoof me a few apples?” Mr. Apple asks.

Applejack looks up at him before picking up two apples with both hooves and gives it to him.

“Thanks darlin. So is your little one with you?” Mr. Apple asks.

“Yeah, he is trying to hide in my wings like he always does.” Mary says smiling.

Mr. Apple chuckles. "Just as shy. Little Applejack loves playing with him."

“Who knows, maybe she’s my little Blitz’s future mare.” Mary jokes as Applejack gets out her lasso.

Blitz yelps and hides more.

Mr. Apple chuckles as Applejack throws her lasso at him.

Blitz screams as his legs get wrapped and gets dragged away. "Help me!"

“Oh, it's so cute watching those two.” Mary says as Blitz managed to escape from the rope and was running away from Applejack who was giving chase.

“Ma offer is still open to move in with us if you ever want to. The family knows it’s hard being a single parent.” Mr. Apple says.

Mary smiles as she looks at the foals playing around. "I…I don't know."

“The offer is always opened.” Mr. Apple says.

Mary nods. "Thank you. Can Blitz stay with you guys for a bit?"

“Um…sure, if yall got some errands to run the…this about goin to Cloudsdale?” Mr. Apple asks.

Mary nods. "Yes, I don't trust them with my son."

“I wish we could, but we are required to take our foals with us and we also have to go get registered so we have to leave the farm unattended for awhile.” Mr. Apple says sighing, not sounding happy about the counting thing himself.

Mary sighs. "Dang it. I thought it was just pegasus."

“Nope, unfortunately it’s for all of the residents. I think a few guards will be posted in each settlement while this happens though.” Mr. Apple says as Blitz hides behind his mother as Applejack tries hopping after him with her lasso, tying her hooves together.

Mary smiles at them. "At least they would still be around."

“Well, I’ll be seenin y'all around and please come visit some time, ma wife would love to have you over.” Mr. Apple says before helping Applejack get untied and Mary paid.

Mary nods. "Sure. Come on Blitz." She said carrying him again.

“Mommy, that filly scares me.” Blitz says shivering a bit.

Mary smiles. "She's just playing dear."

Blitz whines as he looks up at her. "Doesn't feel like it."

“Oh my silly little foal. Come on, with these I can make us breakfast.” Mary says before nuzzling him.

Blitz still tries to push her away. "Mom."

Mary chuckles as she walks into their home.

“Here we are at last.” Mary says flexing her wings as she had landed on Cloudsdale, Blitz fastened to her back still.

Blitz looks around and smiles. "Cool."

“You have to stay in the seat sweetie until we reach the daycare.” Mary says feeling him try and fiddle with the straps.

"Aw!" Blitz whines.

“Now lets see.” Mary says walking around with no idea where to go for a while before sighing and asking a nearby pony who happened to be wandering around for directions. “Pardon me, which way to the daycare for all the population count surveys?” Mary asks.

The pony just raises an eyebrow and points behind him. "This is the building." He said pointing at the building.

“Thank you.” Mary says walking in when the stallion noticed the colt on her back was a unicorn.

"How the heck…?" The stallion asks himself.

Mary smiles as she enters the building and sees many ponies lined up or waiting and follows the signs to the daycare that had a mare at the desk in front. "Hello, I'm dropping off my son. He's a unicorn…so…"

The mare suddenly turns her chair around and Mary sees a familiar wavy mane and tail. "Of course. Just drop him off in there and he won't fall off the clouds." Luna said, winking.

“Thank you.” Mary says signing her and Blitz’s name.

Luna giggles as Mary walks in. “Mommy, aren’t I staying with you?” Blitz asks a little scared, connecting the dots on what is happening.

Mary smiles and nuzzles him. "My smart boy. I'll be gone for a bit. But I promise I'll be back soon. Just play around with the foals a bit and I'll be back before you know it."

“But, but…” Blitz started tearing up a bit.

Mary sighs and kisses his forehead. "You'll be fine Blitzy. You're my brave little colt, right? Ready to protect mommy?"

“Ye…yeah.” Blitz says sniffing.

“Mommy will be back soon, ok? When I get back, we will go get something to eat and have some fun, ok?” Mary asks.

“O…okay mommy.” Blitz says.

Mary smiles and ruffles his mane. "That's my colt." She said before leaving the daycare and passing the mare outside who kept watching her. 'Weird.' She thought about heading to the survey centre.

Blitz looked around at all the different foals almost all pegasi flew around having fun mostly. Having not noticed him yet, Blitz moved into a corner hoping to avoid notice all together till his mother came for him.

"Excuse me?" A filly asks as she stands in front of the unicorn, trying to get his attention.

"Yes?" Blitz asks looking up a bit and sees a rainbow maned and blue pegasus with a cream coated and pink mane one behind her.

"Can we play with you? Nopony else wants to be with us." The rainbow maned one asks as the pink maned one walks slowly up to him.

“Um…um…” Blitz tried to say.

“Fluttershy, I think he speaks your language.” Rainbow says, looking at her.

Fluttershy was silent, hidden half behind her mane and tried to say something before she just eeped.

Blitz peeks around at her as she tries to hide. "Um…well…"

“Please?” Fluttershy manages.

Blitz watches them before nodding slowly. "Sure."

“Hey look, it’s Rainbow Crash and Klutzershy.” A colt says getting a laugh from the other two pegasus colts.

Blitz frowns as he listens to them. "What do you guys want?" Rainbow asks, turning to them with a frown.

The three just ignored her and kept teasing them. “Oh, what is that? Is that one of those horn ponies? What, couldn't you get accepted by your own kind?” A light gamboge coated pegasus mocks.

“Back off Hoops.” Rainbow growls.

Fluttershy squeaks and hides behind her. "Yeah…um…back off. If you don't mind." She said meekly.

“Why don’t you make us.” A dark brown colt challenged.

Rainbow snorts. "I'd be happy too." She said scratching her hoof against the ground.

“No fighting children.” A caretaker called.

Rainbow and the colt kept having a stare down before Blitz steps in between them and stares down the colt. "What did you say about me?"

“I said, not even your own kind will accept you.” Hoops says.

“At this, I will do as my mommy taught me.” Blitz says.

The colts laugh out loud. “Oh and that is?” Hoops asks before the next thing he knew, he felt a throbbing pain from his head when Blitz headbutted him.

Blitz snorts. “That.” Blitz says.

Hoops growls as he holds his head. "You're going to pay for that you horned freak!" He yelled before launching himself at Blitz as he dodges to the side.

“Come on bro, lets go.” One of the other three said unnerved that Blitz fought back physically.

Hoops kept growling as he kept trying to hit Blitz rather sloppy. "Shut up and let me hit him!"

Blitz tilts his head to dodge a hoof. "There is more mommy taught me." Blitz said before grabbing his hoof and slamming him into the floor.

“Come on man, let's go. This isn’t fun anymore.” The other said.

“I’ll get you next time horned freak.” Hoops says runnin away with his tail between his legs.

Blitz sighs in relief before looking to the two fillies. "You okay?"

“That…was…awesome!” Rainbow cheered.

Blitz blushes. "Um…thank you?" He tried to say.

“Finally it is over. Thank you for keeping me company Mr. Blaze.” Mary says, finally finishing her paperwork.

Blaze chuckles. "No trouble. Sometimes the burden of being a parent does take its toll, but it's worth it." He said organising the papers he had.

“Oh, you have one of your own?” Mary asks.

Blaze nods. "Yep, my little filly. Rainbow Dash. Takes after her mother very much. Even has her fiery attitude and I love her for that."

“My colt Blitzkrieg is here as well, though I didn’t want to bring him. He is a unicorn like his late father and I keep worrying if he fell through the clouds.” Mary says as they head back to the daycare.

Blaze smiles. "Well I'm sure the floor is still holding. There are some earth ponies here too. Just in case, maybe you should learn the cloud walking spell when he's ready. Might come in handy in case he meets anypony here and wants to meet them again."

“Oh Celestia no. He can’t even do telekinesis yet. He has a little trouble drawing out his magic. Sometimes I wish I were a unicorn to know if that is normal or something is wrong with him.” Mary says worried.

Blaze nods. "There is a hospital down in your town right? Maybe they can figure it out. Sometimes foals can't do the things they are born with. Like my filly's friend. She can barely fly as it is and Rainbow can fly so fast, she's leaving the competition behind. I think the same is true for unicorns and earth ponies."

“Maybe, but speaking about others, I hope is ok. He is not good with others most of the time. Terribly shy you see.” Mary says.

Blaze chuckles. "Yes well, the same is true for the other filly. She's too shy like her mother, but she's like family and we love her all the same."

“Y…you…talking about me?” A mare asks joining them.

Mary looks behind them to see a heavily garbed pegasus with her eyes barely peeking out and no mane or tail to show. "Yes…um…are you okay?" She asks carefully,

“Oh that is her mother I told you about. How are you today Cloud?” Blaze asks.

Cloud whimpers. "Fine." She whispered.

“Come to pick up your little foal as well?” Mary asks.

Cloud nods. "Yes…um…she must be so scared."

“Any trouble with your paperwork?” Blaze asks.

Cloud tries to look ahead. "Well one thing. Why the question on 'Were you in Manehattan in the five years?'"

“You or me?” Mary asks.

Cloud looks at her. "You too?"

“Yeah, I had to do extra work because they think mine and my little colt documents were destroyed in the fire.” Mary says, sighing.

Cloud watches her. "I see."

“So what about your foal? My little one is a hooful, can’t even leave the house without trying to hide in my wings.” Mary says smiling.

Cloud smiles. "Mane here."

Both mares giggle at finding common ground.

Blaze sighs. "Mares." He said continuing to head to the daycare centre.

“What was that honey?” A blue mare asks walking up to him.

Blaze sweats. "Nothing hon."

“That’s what I thought.” The mare says as Mary and Cloud giggled at that display.

Mary smiles. "Your wife I presume?"

“Yes, this is my love, Spectal Dash.” Blaze says leaning into her shoulder.

Spectral smirks. "And he's my stallion that listens to me always without question. So who are you?"

“I’m Mary Read. I met your husband in line for this whole thing.” Mary says.

Spectral smiles. "Nice to meet you. So you're going to get your foal?"

“Yes. Blitzy time to go.” Mary calls walking into the daycare.

Blitz looks up from the whole fort of blocks. "Hey mom." He said smiling.

“Come here my little colt.” Mary says picking him up and smiling.

Blitz smiles and turns to the two fillies still in the block fort. "Bye guys." He said waving to them.

“Oh, did you make some friends?” Mary asks, nuzzling him.

Blitz smiles. "Yeah, they're really cool."

“So where is this little one’s dad, back home?” Spectal asks.

“Unfortunately no. Blitz’s father never got the chance to meet him. Life at sea is a hard life. Almost as hard is being a single mother in a room of stallions in heat.” Mary jokes at the last part as she straps Blitz to her back.

All the adult mares blushes at that. "Trust me. I know." Spectral said wrapping a hoof around Blaze.

“So…um, he was a sailor?” Cloud asks as Fluttershy hides behind her hooves.

“Yeah, we both were. That is how we met, my ship was recruiting some new blood.” Mary says smiling now that Blitz was fastened.

Blaze smiles and redid a strap. "Get this one fixed. It's threads are starting to become undone. And let me guess, he was the only one who didn't try to go after you?"

“Oh no, he was the only one brave or stupid enough after I broke a few of them over the stern.” Mary says smirking.

All of them laugh as Mary tests her wings. "Well, I have to go now. Blitz's old friend might get lonely."

“Mommy, lunch.” Blitz reminds.

Mary sweat drops. "You guys know any good shops?"

“There is a good cafe near the Cloudsdale Stadium.” Blaze says as he and Rainbow give Spectral a smirk.

“Alright fine, we'll go see the wonderbolts show today.” Spectral says.

Mary tilts her head. "Wonderbolts?"

“A performance team of fliers these two can’t get enough of them.” Spectral explains.

Blaze and Rainbow grin. "They're awesome!" They cheered.

“Are they really that good?” Blitz asks.

Rainbow nods. "Yeah, they're the most awesome team ever."

“Mommy?” Blitz asks.

“Ok my little colt, we can go watch them.” Mary says ruffling his mane.

"Yay!" He cheers.

“You mind showing us there? I hate to admit it, but I can’t navigate this city.” Mary says embarrassed.

Blaze smiles. "Sure. You're like family now."

Spectral pushes her husband forward. “Sorry about him.”

Mary smirks. "What for?"

“For getting fresh.” Spectral says more to Blaze than Mary.

Blaze looks away. "Well, I always treat friends like family."

Mary giggles as the three foal were confused as they walked.

“So you joined us Cloud?” Spectral asks.

Cloud nervously nods. "Sure." She said walking with them.

Mary smiles as Blitz and Rainbow were talking freely as they left the stadium with a Wonderbolt hat and toy in Blitz’s hooves.

"That was awesome!" Blitz cheers.

“I know right.” Rainbow says.

“Seems your colt really liked the show.” Spectral says.

“Yes, though it isn’t too surprising. He really enjoys me taking him flying.” Mary says smiling.

Cloud looks at her. "A unicorn liking to fly? Must be tough."

“He takes after me. Loves to fly and feel free.” Mary says smirking.

Blaze chuckles. "Our daughter would really love playing with him."

“Maybe we can arrange for them to play more.” Mary says before she exchanges residence information with them and Cloud.

Cloud smiles. "My little filly would love it."

“We will see what we can arrange. Well, we best get back to Ponyville.” Mary says smiling at the tired Blitz.

Blitz yawns. "Bye guys." He said, trying to wave.

“See ya.” Rainbow calls.

“Bye.” Fluttershy manages.

Blitz keeps waving as Mary takes off and waves at them too and heads to Ponyville. "Did you have fun?" She asks as she goes into a gentle flight.

“Yes mommy.” Blitz says yawning as Mary flew through the night sky, his souvenirs safely tucked into Mary’s saddlebag.

Mary smiles and looks at him. “Rest now my little colt.” Mary says reaching back and pets his head.

“Okay mommy.” Blitz yawns and lays his head down as Mary continues to fly with him.

Mary smiles and sighs. "I love you my little colt."

“I love you too mommy.” Blitz says before falling asleep.

Mary sighs in relief. "Hard to believe this happened." Mary says before flying a few more hours to see her home come into view. Mary lands and goes to the front door.

“Pardon me ma'am, I’m looking for a Mr. James Kidd.” A gruff voice says behind her that she recognized from her past.

Mary looks behind her and raises an eyebrow. "Who wants to know?"

“An old friend.” Says a large black stallion dressed in a captain’s outfit.

Mary frowns. "I'm sorry. He's in Canterlot, next to the guard barracks and wanted posters of you."

“Yea still the same as you were when you were a captain Kidd or would you prefer Mary Read?” The stallion asks.

Mary scoffs. "I left that behind. Now let me live my life here and with my son."

“I intend to. Our way is freedom and you were within your rights.” The stallion says.

Mary still frowns. "And what are you doing here?"

“Wanted to find out why you left. Was thinking maybe ya found a treasure you wouldn’t share or maybe ya found yourself a lass. Now do I see it was the former.” The stallion says.

Mary huffs. "Yes and now you know. Now you can leave."

“Alright Kidd.” The stallion said, turning to leave. “Take care of that treasure of yours.” He says leaving.

Mary stares at him before looking at Blitz who was sleeping soundly. "Mom…" He said quietly.

Mary smiles before heading inside of the house, locking the door behind her before taking and tucking him into bed. “Good night my treasure.” Mary says.

Blitz snorts in his sleep.

Mary smiles and covers him with her wings as she laid beside him.

Mary sighs as she opens her eyes again and sees Blitz gone. "Blitz?" She calls out.

“Here mom.” Blitz calls trying to climb up and look into her chest.

Mary's eyes widen and rushes over. "Blitz, not in there." She said, pulling him away and closing the chest.

“Why not?” Blitz asks confused as Mary is now holding him in her wings.

Mary sighs and locks the chest. "Because you are not old enough to understand what's in there." Mary says taking note that he was now a little bigger.

“Ah!” Blitz whines a little.

Mary smiles. "Come on, let me make you something and then we can head to Canterlot and take you to the school. This thing needs to work it's muscles and be examined in case something is wrong." She said poking his horn.

“Alright mommy.” Blitz says nuzzling her side.

Mary smiles and nuzzles him back. "Now what do you want?" She asks, poking his stomach.

“Your specialty breakfast.” Blitz says smirking.

Mary grins. "Oh, a challenge. Alright, but you have to clean up your room."

“Ok!” Blitz calls out running off to his room.

Mary smiles. "Such a good boy." She said heading to the kitchen. Mary starts cooking, adding cinnamon and sugar to the pancake batter as it cooks. “Blitz, breakfast is ready!” Mary calls.

Blitz rushes out of his room and to the table Mary smiling as she spies him wearing his favorite bucket hat with the wonderbolt insignia on it.

Mary sighs. "Blitz." She said exasperated.

“What mommy?” Blitz asks, tilting his head a little.

Mary points a spatula at him. "Hat."

“Oh right.” Blitz says taking his hat off at the table.

Mary smiles and hits the handle and sends the pancake onto his plate. "Eat up."

“Aren’t you going to eat mommy?” Blitz asks.

Mary shakes her head. "Nope, this is your special day. So walk me through what you are going to do."

“We are going to the Canterlot school for gifted unicorns to have them examine me to see if there is a reason I can’t use my magic well and then tomorrow we are having a surprise party where you invited all my friends.” Blitz says surprising Mary he knew that latter part.

Mary smiles. "Wow. Such a smart colt."

“Mommy, why do you think I can’t use magic well even though I am nearly seven?” Blitz asks.

Mary sighs. "I don't know sweetie. That's what we're going to find out."

“Mommy, please eat, you worry me when you don’t.” Blitz says.

Mary smiles at him as she grabs a cup of coffee off the counter. "Then you have to eat."

“I will.” Blitz says as she sits next to him. Blitz smiles as a little of his mane falls over his eyes and he uses his breath to try and push it out of his vision.

Mary giggles. "Cut your mane sweetie."

“Please, it is annoying me.” Blitz says.

Mary tilts her head. "It looks cute though."

“To keep the mane out of my eyes is why you got me my hats mommy.” Blitz says.

Mary rolls her eyes. "Yes, that too. Though you like to style that thing."

Blitz notices the brush on the counter and goes back to eating after Mary started to brush his mane.

"Now what are you looking to do? Medical?" Mary asks, brushing his mane.

“I don’t know mommy.” Blitz says enjoying being brushed by her. “Maybe I will help manage the weather team here.” Blitz says.

Mary smiles as he leaned into her brushing. “Most foals your age hate being brushed my little colt.”

“Why, it feels nice.” Blitz says.

Mary smirks. "Embarrassment. Not many would want a brushing mane from their mother anymore."

“They let that stop them?” Blitz asks confused.

Mary sighs. "Eat up and I'll get our things ready. Be ready for some prodding." She said getting up.

“Only if you say it's ok mommy.” Blitz says going back to eating the last two pancakes on his plate as Mary kissed his head as she walked by.

Mary chuckles. "Only if you do the best you will do when you get tested."

“I wonder how Jackie is doing.” Blitz says.

Mary giggles. "Oh, she will be fine."

Blitz seemed unsure as he finished and took his plate to the sink to wash after putting the stand in place for him to reach it.

Mary smiles as she packs their bags. "How do you feel honey?"

“I feel fine.” Blitz says walking over to her.

Mary nods and gives him his bags. "Alright, you ready?"

“Ready mommy.” Blitz says putting on his favorite hat.

Mary chuckles and ruffles his mane and leads him out. "Alright, hang on, because it's going to be a while." She said picking him up and putting him on her back.

Blitz smiled as she took off. “Mommy, how much longer will you be able to carry me around?” Blitz asks suddenly.

Mary looks back at him before sighing. "I don't know dear. We may have to find another way to get you places. Maybe a private ship of our own?"

“Can we afford an airship?” Blitz asks.

Mary grins. "Not if we build one ourselves, have the fast and sleekest one around."

“Ok mommy.” Blitz cheers.

Mary chuckles and smiles as she thinks about it. 'Not much different than a regular ship. Except it flies.'

“Is that the city?” Blitz asks after a while.

Mary nods and flies over as she looks over the buildings. "There it is." She said seeing the school and lands in the courtyard. "Alright, all passengers off. Please put your tray tables in their upright lock positions." She jokes as Blitz gets off.

“Mom.” Blitz says smiling at the joke.

Mary grins. "What?"

Blitz shakes his head and runs off before falling down a short ledge and lands on somepony. "Owie!" She heard two voices yell and rush over to see him crashed into a purple filly unicorn. "You two okay?"

“I’m fine.” Blitz says rubbing his head.

The purple filly groans. "Same. Oh no, my books!" She yells and rushes through the books all over the ground. "I think this is yours." She said giving him one.

“Lets see, introduction to aviation. Yeah, this is mine.” Blitz says as she noticed he had sophomore ratings on the book level.

Twilight tilts her head. "I'm Twilight. What's your name?"

“I’m Blitzkrieg.” Blitz says putting the book away as Mary glides down and starts checking Blitz over. "Mom."

Mary smiles. "Can't be too careful. You okay dear?" She asks Twilight.

“Yeah, I’m fine.” Twilight says getting her last book.

Mary nods. "Good, you better get going to wherever you were going. I think time is less for you now."

“Oh, you are right!” Twilight calls running in.

Mary giggles as she helps Blitz up. "Come on. The testing and exam will start soon." She said leading him inside.

“You want to watch before they examine me and see if I can’t use my magic?” Blitz asks looking up to his mother.

Mary nods and leads him to the nearby nursing station. "Let's see why you can't perform magic that well."

“Ms. Reed, correct?” A mare in a lab coat asks walking in.

Mary nods. "Yes, I believe I schedule this for my son."

“Yes. You wrote about him not being able to use his magic.” The mare says reading a paper.

Mary nods. "Not even the basic telekinesis."

“Ok, let us see then.” The mare says before starting to conduct tests. About an hour later, she stopped. “Well, I have it figured out.” The mare says.

Mary leans in. "Yes?"

“He has a rare yet easily fixed condition called magconorious. Basically, his magic is contained within him and the cork has not been removed to let it flow freely. This is easily fixed by a parent helping the foal draw out their magic with their own. Like wiggling the cork back and forth until it either shoots off or comes off.” The mare says.

Mary blushes. "Um…I'm a pegasus."

“Yes, that is why you didn’t know how to deal with this. I can fix this, but we should do it in the practice yards as well because when this is done, the foal instinctively does a magic blast.” The mare says.

Mary nods and the nurse leads them out to the yard and Blitz raises an eyebrow before looking up to see a window where he can see a filly working on something while some mares and stallions were watching her. "Huh."

“Ok little one, I need you to focus on that dummy over there. That is a magic blast training dummy those who are learning to become guards use. It will absorb the blast from you when we unleash your magic.” The mare says.

Blitz nods and takes off his hat before looking to the dummy before groaning and points his horn at it and tries to fire his magic at it, but feels a strain on it. The mare lights her horn and concentrates on Blitz’s as he found less of a strain by the second.

Blitz kept straining against it and kept building up power in his horn. "How…much…longer?" He groans.

“Almost there.” The mare says.

Mary sighs in relief as she watches it all. "At least he can finally learn." She said before an explosion happened somewhere near Cloudsdale and sent a shock wave of rainbow colours coming their way. "Oh dear." Mary said quickly before feeling a shock wave hit her and the mare and sends them to the ground as Blitz yells out and finally fires a beam of magic at the dummy and destroys it and the wall behind it before finishing off the houses behind it until it stops midway into a house and shows a stallion trying to scrub himself in a tub before he realized he wasn't having any privacy anymore.

"Go away." He said closing the curtains.

Mary groans and tries to get up before a roar sounds out and a dragon breaks through the roof of the school and whips its tail around before being covered in a purple aura and shrinks down into the building again. She then looks to Blitz and what lies ahead of him. "Blitz!" She yells rushing over.

“I feel funny.” Blitz says, sounding nauseous.

“S…such raw power?!” The mare said alarmed.

Mary looks concerned at him as he groans and tries to get up before unexpectedly firing another beam from his horn and hits another dummy that obliterates it. "Make it stop." Blitz groans out.

“Shh…it's okay my little foal.” Mary says petting him, getting him to calm down and the magic died down with it.

Blitz looks at her before rolling his eyes in a confused way before falling on his back out cold. "Excuse me?" A voice asks behind them.

Mary looks to see the princess of the sun herself looking astonished.

Celestia then gently smiles and looks to Blitz. "He has a great immense power and gift. Those dummies can even hold up to my regular shots of power. To take them out like that is quite dangerous. If you would allow, I would take him and another foal under my wing to train them. You can visit if you want."

Mary wraps her wings around Blitz protectively, not sure what to make of all of this.

Celestia smiles motherly. "I'll take care of him like my own son. He can get the care he needs just in case of another accident like this. If you try yourself, you may not be able to handle the fallout."

“I…I will stay with him. If you want him as a student, you must let me take care of him.” Mary says.

Celestia nods. "Of course. I will allow you to let you even stay as it is your own home."

“Very well.” Mary says holding Blitz.

Celestia sighs and looks to the building. "If you'll excuse me, I need to deal with another little filly that fell into somewhat the same problem."

Mary just smiles as she pets Blitz’s mane.

Blitz groans as he opens his eyes at her. "Mom?"

“It’s ok sweetie, everything's fine.” Mary says.

Blitz groans. "What happened?"

“You unleash your magic. It was incredibly power my little colt.” Mary says.

Blitz tries to smile. "Good." He said before falling asleep.

Mary picks him up and then his hat on the ground and follows Celestia before noticing a shooting star was on his flank.

Mary smiles. "Oh Blitzkrieg. Congratulations."

“I’m telling you Twilight, the calculation is wrong. it won’t work.” Mary hears a now fifteen year old Blitz talking from the other room.

"And I'm telling you it would work." Twilight said back.

“Fine, I will be outside waiting for the explosion. Coming Spike?” Blitz asks.

"Coming." A high pitched voice said.

The door opened and out came Blitz, his hair covering one of his eyes while he wore a dark blue hoodie and a beanie cap.

Mary smiles. "Hi honey, playing well?"

“You might want to duck behind the couch with me mom.” Blitz says as he and Spike take cover.

Mary giggles as she still stands before an explosion happened and a wall of smoke came out of the room. "Let me guess, forgot to carry the one?" She asks humorously.

“And displaced a few decimal points.” Blitz adds.

Mary chuckles as Twilight comes out coughing. "Learned your lesson?"

Blitz and Spike walk past them and soon open a few windows. When he walked back, he gave Twilight a wet towel.

Twilight sighs and starts wiping herself off. "Sorry."

“Next time, please listen to me on math.” Blitz requests.

Twilight nods. "Sure, just don't get in my way."

Blitz rolled his one visible eye as Twilight tied her mane back into a ponytail.

Mary smiles as she turns to Spike. "Let's grab some clothes and mops."

“Already done.” Spike says holding a mop.

“Twi, take a break and come out to a nightclub with me.” Blitz says.

Mary glares at him. "Blitz."

“What, she needs to take a break from studying.” Blitz says.

Mary still glares. "Anywhere but a nightclub."

“Ok, a dance club. Those are not as fun as the bat ponies prefer the night club. Though maybe hanging out with the college mares will be fun.” Blitz says.

Mary smiles. "Good, now grab some bits, but not much and head out."

“You heard her Twi.” Blitz says dragging the struggling Twilight by her tail.

"Hey wait." Twilight calls out.

“Come on, if we are lucky, we will find you a coltfriend.” Blitz says.

Twilight frowns. "I don't want one!" She yells in his face.

“Ok, ok, a marefriend.” Blitz says.

Twilight growls as she is dragged off. "Strange things nowadays." Mary said cleaning up.

“Hey Vinyl.” Blitz says greeting the white mare outside the dance club.

Vinyl puts her headphones down. "Hey Blitzy. What's up?" She also bumped his hoof.

“Nothing much, just dragged my peer here to have some fun and yes, I literally had to drag her by her tail until we got out of the castle.” Blitz says slipping on his shades.

Vinyl giggles. "Well lay back and have some fun. And drink something. Who knows what might pop up?"

“Also you think you can find her a companion, she is looking for a mare friend.” Blitz jokes.

Vinyl grins. "Sure, maybe one for you too."

“Meh.” Blitz says.

“Come on, I’ll introduce you to my roommate.” Vinyl says in a sing-song voice.

Blitz chuckles. "Oh, is she a tough mare to get?"

“She’s already inside.” Vinyl says leading them in.

Blitz follows till Vinyl points out a yellow mare with a firebolt for a cutie mark.

Blitz leans over. "Who's she?"

“Hey Spits!” Vinyl calls getting her attention even over the loud music.

Spitfire looks over and smiles. "Hey V, what's up?"

“I told you I would get you a date before graduation, which one do you want?” Vinyl jokes.

Spitfire chuckles. "I'll take the stallion."

“Very funny. So how long have you known Vinyl?” Blitz asks as the four sit in a booth.

Spitfire smiles. "Ever since grade school. She was the music pony and I was the one who hung in the back with her."

“Blitz.” Blitz greets offering a hoof.

Spitfire shakes his hoof. "Spitfire. Who's the mare?"

“A fellow student.” Blitz says.

“Twilight. Twilight Sparkle.” Twilight says annoyed.

Blitz smiles at her. "Aw, don't feel so bad. You'll always be my mare."

Twilight flicks her mane into his face.

Blitz smirks as he looks to the other mares. "See, she likes me."

“I’ve heard those names somewhere.” Spitfire says.

Blitz shrugs. "Guess we're just famous just because."

“Wait, you're the students of Princess Celestia.” Spitfire says in realization, but thankful the music drowned her out.

Blitz smirks as Twilight hides behind her mane a bit. "Yep and it's getting real fun watching her blow stuff up."

Twilight huffs. “Still got nothing on you. Your first magic blast obliterated 4 and a half houses before dissipating.” Vinyl says.

“I was seven.” Blitz reminds.

Twilight looked away a bit as she kept huffing.

“And Twilight pulled off the next impossible with her hatching a dragons egg.” Blitz says.

Twilight raises an eyebrow as she looks back to him slightly.

“So Spits, you go have fun with Blitz while I seduce the mare here.” Vinyl says.

Spitfire smiles and gets up before dragging him off. "What do you want to do?" She asks as Twilight tries to hide herself as Vinyl gets closer.

“So you have fun?” Blitz asks, walking to the castle with Twilight.

Twilight sighs. "Yeah, but…"

“You really showed up Vinyl. She wasn’t expecting that left hook.” Blitz says chuckling.

Twilight smiles. "Yeah, that was really funny."

“Twilight, if you keep pushing yourself you will burn out. Today’s incident shouldn't have happened. You are too smart to make such an obvious mistake.” Blitz says, looking at her.

Twilight nods. "Yeah, I shouldn't have done that."

“Your burning yourself out and messing up Twi. Please stop pushing yourself so far.” Blitz requests.

Twilight looks back to him. "I'll…I'll try."

“Thanks.” Blitz says continuing on.

Twilight looks at him before looking ahead again.

“Oh, I’m going on a journey for a bit.” Blitz says to Twilight.

Twilight quickly looks back at him. "Journey?"

“Yeah, I’m going to follow Starswirl’s example and travel on my own for awhile.” Blitz says.

Twilight stares at him before sighing. "I…um…"

“Already cleared it with Celestia and mum. I just wanted to give ya a bit of a heads up as I leave tomorrow morning.” Blitz says.

Twilight looks away from him. "Well…um…" she sighs. "Do whatever you want."

“Take care of yourself Twi.” Blitz says walking away.

Twilight sighs and looks to him again as he walks away. "Oh Blitz." She said quietly.

“Hey mum.” Blitz says sitting at the table where Mary was sitting across from him. Blitz takes off his beanie cap and sets it on the table as the clock neared eleven o’ clock.

Mary hums as she pokes at her food. "Do you ever think of anypony else?"

“You know me mum. You raised me after all.” Blitz says smiling at her.

Mary raises an eyebrow. "And your friends?"

“They’ve known for a while, only one who didn’t was Twi, but that is mostly because she can be such a recloose.” Blitz says reminding her of how she was at one point hot blooded and full of wanderlust.

Mary smiles a bit. "Yeah, but there is the idea of those missing you. Telling the last pony, might do harm."

“Better than not saying anything at all.” Blitz says.

Mary sighs. "You better go talk to them again. One last time and let them speak their mind."

“Nah, it is fine this way, besides I can’t go to Cloudsdale or Ponyville and be back before morning and haven’t seen some in years and only write to them.” Blitz sys.

Mary smirks. "There is still Twilight."

“Take after her for me mum, after all she needs someone to reel her in at times.” Blitz says.

Mary giggles. "Yes she does, but do come back. I don't think any of us would want you to get hurt."

“I will someday mum. Hard to believe I'm nearly sixteen now. It only seems like yesterday you were taking a four year old to your room so I could sleep.” Blitz says.

Mary smiles. "Yes, you were so young and shy and now look at you. Always have great friends and not so shy now. Even powerful enough to take down a part of an army. Is Celestia giving you an airship?"

“Nah, setting off with just a single bag of provision.” Blitz says.

Mary sighs. "Just be safe. None of us don't you hurt."

“I will mum…thanks being there for me mum.” Blitz says getting up and putting on his beanie cap.

Mary looks down to her food as Blitz leaves. She then looks to the back door. "Come in." She said before Twilight walks in. "You have a chance you know."

“I know.” Twilight says, but doesn’t go after him. “I can wait though.”

Mary smiles. "Good. He might change, but his feelings won't. He would still love you all."

“I hope so.” Twilight says leaving.

Mary smiles as a single tear runs down her face. ‘My baby boy.’

Mary opens her eyes and looks around to see a familiar room. “Grandmother?” A tiny voice asks behind her. Turning around, she sees Azure.

“Hey my grandson.” Mary says picking him up.

Azure smiles and hugs her back. A few knocks came to the door and it opened to Blitz standing there. "Hey mum. You okay?"

“I’m fine dear.” Mary says smiling as she thought about what he has now.

Author's Note

Flair: Well that was a long chapter.

Yeah, considering we added a somewhat side story. Kinda interesting to see how the story would have gone if you changed one thing.

Flair: It is like the butterfly effect theory. So shall we premet any requests to make the side story a full one?

I don’t know. For some reason, I’m attached to this story only but it sounds cool to play with different universes.

Flair: Not saying we give up on this story just we develop the other universe where technology hadn’t really came to Equestria yet and Blitz was fully taught the ways of magic instead of the ways of the Mandalorians.

Yeah, but then it would just turn into an adventure where he just teaches and we would be limited by that only. With this one, we have double the idea and the idea of multiple universes is still in play here in this story alone.

Flair: I meant we work on and post it if we get the urge to write Blitz in more of a mage role. I mean, let’s face it, Blitz is almost completely a tech pony and only just coming into the force and most likely isn’t going to change. Also with mage Blitz, we can have adventures like him fighting gargoyles and more mystical creatures instead of more alien things. By the way, Luna, how did you make such a diverse world that actually is possible in her dream?

“Oh I didn’t, it was an interdimensional viewing spell. She lived the memories of herself of that universe with only slight edits.” Luna says.

And those edits are?

“Me being there!” Luna yells excitedly.

*Staring at her* Nice, but needs work. You just wanted to see Blitz as a foal again, didn’t you?

“Maybe.” Luna says.

Flair: At least she doesn’t do as much as Pinkie does.

Like the latest episode with her shaking and grabbing the camera?

Flair: Yeah had to redo the entire scene.

Especially with the metal gear box. Now they went all out with references since Discord. At least we got this far done. And that Who’s on first joke took a while.

Flair: Yeah, it did. Now Pinkie is finally out of our hair for why she is trying to find what the names of the baseball team is.

We did ship groups and types.

Flair: You did and I asked her to get me the names on who’s on first, second, and third base. *smirks*

Shut up. Now then, back to Act 1 and the good old recon mission and away from moms crying for a bit?

Flair: Alright, by the way, you know the bullet we dodged with Pinkie being distracted?

Nope, wasn’t paying attention.

Flair: A giant robot walrus riding a bike. I am not joking. *shows the papers*

I am not questioning her anymore and listening to our favorite, Pinkamena.

Flair: Ok, remember to read and review.
