A Lightning Storm: Rebooted

Spitfire:

The envelope was sitting in front of both of us, it had been sent by Princess Celestia.

"Do you think she knows?" Mirage asked, she was visibly sweating,

"How could she?" I asked, I knew it was highly unlikely, but possible.

We stared at it for a few more minutes, looking over at each other every once in awhile.

"Screw it, I'm opening it" Mirage said, tearing it opened.

Inside was a letter with two tickets attached to the bottom, which I guessed to be train tickets back to Canterlot, The letter read:

Spitfire and Mirage

Greetings from Canterlot, I am aware of the recent events going on in Ponyville and I want both of you to meet me and the rest of the Wonderbolts team tonight, I hope everything is going smoothly with you two in the new relationship, Soarin had informed me of this after you two had left...

We both let out a sigh of relief, the first sentence had really scared us out of our wits. Shortly after we continued reading,

The Grand Galloping Gala is to be held tomorrow night inside of the castle and I want you two to be there, Mirage, if you have any questions you can ask them to Spitfire, she has been there for the past few years. Onto something else now, I have had word with your team Spitfire, they told me a bit about what happened a few nights ago...

"Celestia knows about the Silver Swords?!" Mirage asked with a shocked tone,

"Yeah, she does" I replied lamely,

"AND she knows about Trixie?!"

"Apparently so"

Mirage, I promise you that I will try to help in any way I can, I have had word with the leader and he promised me not to attack you. But I wouldn't be so sure, If you are in a different form he may not know it is you, so just try to avoid any means of stress, Stay away from anything Silver and whatever you do... Do Not go outside during a full moon, Spitfire, some of her new instincts will cause her to want to go outside on these nights. Just try to get her to go to sleep before the sun goes down, if you do happen to catch her during transformation splash her with ice cold water, if she does take on full formation you will need to keep her away from town by any means necessary. I've informed Cyber Burst about your situation and he promises to keep you off duty as much as possible so you can take care of Mirage.

"It's not like I'm a foal!" Mirage shouted at the letter,

- Princess Celestia

P.S. Her moods will change drastically from time to time, try not to yell or get in fights with her.

"It's not like I'm pregnant either!" Mirage yelled,

Those words burrowed down deep into me. Pregnancy was not something we could achieve together, neither of us could produce male genes, we would need a Stallion somewhere in there. A sperm bank would be a wise decision, but, I was certain there wasn't one in Ponyville, and I hadn't known of any in Canterlot, I was pretty sure there was one in Las Pegasus but Celestia help me if I was stupid to go there with Mirage. I would have to look around.

I couldn't pull myself away from the topic, even though I had never really thought about raising a foal with Mirage, would she even want to? Who would be the one to have the baby? What would she say if I brought it up?

"Hey... Mirage?" I asked, taking a chance,

She turned to me with the two tickets in her mouth, she looked really adorable like that for some reason.

"Yeshm?" She asked, the tickets muffling what she had said, she spat them out onto the floor and spoke again.

"Yeah?" She asked, giggling.

"Do you... ever think about..." I shuffled a bit in the position I was in, "I don't know... having a foal?" I asked,

Mirage looked confused by the question but not surprised, "Well... yeah, a little bit" she said, "why?"

"Because... I dunno, what we've been doing just made me think about it" I said,

"Oh... well, I cant really give you one" she said, "and vice-versa"

"I know, but, what if we had a stallion help" Oops, that came out wrong.

"Are you crazy?!" she screeched, "That's borderline cheating!"

"You would know about that, wouldn't you?" I snapped, immediately wanting the words back.

Mirage opened her mouth to say something but the words sank in before she spoke, her eyes almost closed and she looked at the floor, "Yeah, I guess I would" she muttered in a dangerous tone.

She slowly turned around and bolted towards the bedroom, leaving me in the kitchen looking like an Idiot, which I was for saying what I did, sure it was true, but I knew she didn't do it because she didn't love me.

"Mirage wait-" I couldn't finish my sentence before the bedroom door slammed shut, echoing throughout the house like an explosion.

I was at the door in seconds, trying to open it, only to find it was locked. I knocked on it loudly, "Mia I'm sorry! I didn't mean-"

"Shut up! leave me alone!" she shouted from the inside, I could hear the pain in her voice and instantly knew she was crying,

"But-"

"Go away!"

"I'm-"

Something smashed against a wall,

"I said Go Away!" She screamed,

"Mia, The princess said you can't be stressed out" I said,

"Well it's too late for that!" She laughed,

Something shattered now.

"Mia open the damn door!" I said, pushing my body up against it,

"Why? So you can tell me how terrible I am some more?" She asked,

"I never said that!"

"It sure did sound like it!"

"Your not terrible Mirage" I said, "Your amazing, ever since I met you at flight school I knew you would be a great friend and a few weeks ago it occurred to me that you would be a great marefriend. That's why were here right now, I don't care about Rainbow Dash, I care about you. I care about what happens to you, I care about your safety." I laughed, "For once in my life I found something to care about other than my job and myself, and that something is you!"

Silence.

"But I don't know if your safe when your behind this door!" I finished,

The door handle clicked and slowly squeaked open, I was greeted by two beautiful purple eyes that had been glazed over with tears.

"Really?" She asked,

"Yeah, Really" I said, blushing a bit. "Do you still want to go to the Gala?"

"With you?" She asked, opening the door up more.

"Of course"

"Sure."
