The Visit

It was a beautiful morning at the Castle of Friendship, the birds sang beautifully that morning, almost like a sweet siren song beckoning the couple's ears. Rainbow Dash woke up when she heard the knock on the door, she saw Twilight was still asleep with a frown was forming at her cute and peaceful face, which made her giggle.

"Twilight! Rainbow Dash! Wake up you two are going to miss breakfast, it wouldn't be healthy for the baby!" A baby dragon's voice muffled on the door followed by three knocks, she was sure it was Spike.

"Yeah, Spike we'll be out in a jiffy," Rainbow said as she got out of bed stretching and yawning, she heard footsteps fading away but she seem not to care."Twilight wake up," She said while nudging on Twilight's chin gently to wake the sleepy Alicorn.

"No, I don't wanna, ten minutes more please," Twilight pleaded with a slight tired voice.

"Hey come on now this isn't like you, you know that," Rainbow replied, "This could affect our little bundle of joy," She added, hoping for Twilight to get up.

"Still no, Dashie, Doctor Lifeheart said I need to get a lot of rest as I can, you know I'm near labor," Rainbow Dash couldn't help but to groan, and then an idea ran through her mind.

"Fine. I'll just eat all the daffodil sandwiches and the fresh apple salad that, Spike made," She said teasingly that made Twilight get out of bed mumbling and groaning. As she stood out of bed, she felt a little kick from her pregnant belly which made her look at it with a smile. "She kicked, didn't she?" Rainbow asked,

Twilight looked back at Rainbow Dash and gave her a big smile as she gently rub her belly. "Yes she did, Dashie, I can't wait for her to come out," She replied,

"Me too,"

"So, did any nightmare or vision got you, after you woke up last night?" Twilight asked with a worried voice turning the mood in the room opposite on what Dash's feeling a awful silence fell. Thankfully Rainbow Dash shook her head, Twilight sighed in relief.

"When I got back to sleep, I could only see darkness and then I heard the knock on the door, it was like, I never slept after the nightmare or vision like I just closed my eyes," Rainbow Dash replied.

"Thats weird, nopony ever gets no dream," Twilight paused and out her hoof at her chin, "Arrrggg, fine lets just go eat before I get stressed by this dream-commotion-thingy,"

Rainbow Dash opened the door and motioning for Twilight to join her,"That's a plan for me," She said, Twilight joined her and they walked gleefully to the Dinning room.

At the Dinning Room table there was Starlight preparing for breakfast and Spike at the kitchen making breakfast, he was making three daffodil sandwiches for him, Starlight and Rainbow Dash, while a healthy apple salad for Twilight. Starlight walked in the kitchen to get the food after she was done preparing.

"Spike are those ready yet?" Starlight asked with a gentle tone trying not to jump Spike from what he's doing. But he didn't respond, so she asked again with a slight angry tone, "Spike are those ready yet? Twilight and Rainbow Dash are almost here,"

The little dragon peeked over his shoulder with bored eyes and spoke up, "Yeah, here you go, Im sorry it took so long, its been years since I made an apple salad,"

"Wait? I thought you are the one who always made those apple salads that, Twilight eats," Starlight said, Spike handed the daffodil sandwiches and the apple salad to Starlight .

"No, it wasn't me who made those salads," Spike paused, "It was actually, Rainbow Dash that made those salads. She says she has a secret recipe on the salad which, She actually hides under her pillow. Trust me I always see it every time I clean their room," Spike added and took off his cute, Three Gem Stone apron (Which is actually Rarity's Cutie Mark) and hop down the stable he was standing.

Twilight and Rainbow Dash came to the room just in time as Starlight put down the daffodil sandwiches and the apple salad. Rainbow Dash has his hungry for breakfast face while Twilight on the other hoof has her determined face like she was about to defeat Dash at eating their breakfast and win the most fastest eater in all of Equestria.

A moment had pass, Spike was done eating his daffodil sandwich, "Hey, Twilight can I go to Rarity's? She told me she needs help with a new dress she's making for Sapphire Shores," He paused and he's face was turning a little red,"Maybe I could help her, besides I finished all my morning chores!" He said with pleading eyes.

Twilight rolled her eyes, "Ok, but you don't have to cause trouble. If I heard you've caused trouble, you'll be grounded, for about six months," She replied.

Spike quickly ran out of the castle door. The three laughed as they saw Spike's expression when Twilight said 'yes', "Twilight, why would you say yes all of the sudden? You know you don't want, Spike to go to Rarity's when she has a big order. He'll just distract her," Starlight asked while an eyebrow is starting to go all the way to the top of her forehead.

"Oh come on, Starlight why wouldn't I give my adopted son a vacation after all the things he did for us. He even tried to make me an apple salad, because somepony hides the recipe," Twilight replied and gave Rainbow Dash a glare. Rainbow simply put her hoof at the back of her head.

"Twi, you know how I get cranky when other ponies or even creatures in that fact to make you an apple salad, plus nopony cooks apple salads since nachos took over, heck Applejack doesn't make them anymore," Rainbow protested.

Twilight just gave her, her roll in the eyes look and saw Starlight giggling and that giggle Starlight started it affected Rainbow Dash and made its way to her.

Starlight was done eating her daffodil sandwich, "Starlight Wait!" Twilight called after she could step into the kitchen. She turned to Twilight and she slightly tilt her head.

"What?" She asked.

"Can you take care of the castle while we're gone," She replied.

"Why is that? Do you have a summit or something?" She asked again.

"No, we're just visiting, Princess Luna, and maybe my family in that fact," She replied and finished her Apple salad, Rainbow was finish too. Starlight levitated the bowl and the plate to the kitchen sink.

"Ok, I'll watch the castle for you," She paused,"But do I get less studies when your gone?" She added with the most adorable puppy eyes a pony could make in all of Equestria. Twilight looked at her lover with a sly smile, Starlight's puppy eyes faded after she saw what Rainbow Dash was doing with her face. As Twilight turned back on Starlight she also had a sly smile at her face which made Starlight's heart beat, beat like the beat of a drum, but that nervousness was got rid when she saw Twilight nod.

Rainbow Dash sighed heavily. She placed her foreleg on the windowsill next to her, and rested her face against her hoof. The train car bounced as it chugged down the track, making for a bumpy ride. But she didn't seem to mind. Twilight started lean over at Rainbow Dash's shoulder to take a nap (Even though Rainbow was the common one sleeping through train rides).

Rainbow Dash couldn't help but smile to see her lover sleeping on her shoulder. It was like she was in heaven, she wouldn't want the feeling to stop, because of a stupid nightmare she had. Though just thinking about it makes her heart break and scattered throughout Equestria. Every time she looked at Twilight and to her pregnant belly, it was like the nightmare going over again. Her smile faded when she rubbed Twilight's belly with slight force.

Twilight let out a soft groan. She woke up when Rainbow Dash rubbed her belly, she looked on to her lovers face, she was suffering from something she can't put her hoof on. Something Twilight was never sure, she had this look on her face like she never wanted to do something to help Twilight with a big problem she herself cant do. Like she never protected Twilight and she failed her.

"Dashie? UGNH," Twilight asked and groan in pain. The ponies in the cart started to look at the couple and got back to what they were working on when they saw it was the princess and the lieutenant of the wonderbolts, she started to curl up on a ball. She was in luck Rainbow Dash was there to comfort her, when she felt Dash's comfort, she uncurled herself from her ball trying to withstand the pain from her abdomen and gave Dash a crackling smile.

"Twi, you ok?! I'm sorry I didn't mean to rub it that hard its just...." She paused and sighed heavily, she covered Twilight with her wing, "I've been thinking about the night---"

Twilight placed a hoof on her lover's mouth. "Shhhh, no stress. I know it was just an accident. You of all ponies, will never do such thing to me plus, UGNH" She paused when she felt the pain, "It was just Braxton hicks," Twilight forced a smile at her crackling face to reassure Rainbow Dash that wasn't a real contraction.

"Okey. But are you sure, your ok? That Braxton hicks is really around the corner," Rainbow Dash said with a worried voice.

Twilight nodded and leaned over to Rainbow Dash's shoulder to take a nap. Rainbow Dash placed her hoof on the windowsill, she tried to enjoy the scenery passing by.

One moment later something in her head was bothering her, "Hahahahaha, you actually thought you could escape me Rainbow Dash?" A voice in her head echoed, it was familiar she started to look around the cart and saw all ponies minding their own business. Then she heard it again,"Rainbow Dash,"

She looked at Twilight peacefully napping on her shoulder, she was making Rainbow's wing her blanket. She started to reply on the voice in her mind, "Who's there?"She asked as she closed her eyes.

"Rainbow Dash you don't remember me?," He paused as he laughed maniacally, "Oh poor, Rainbow Dash still can't remember me. Remember Twilight and the foal? Remember how I showed you the vision?" The mysterious voice said.

Rainbow Dash opened her eyes, pupils dilated, ears flatted. She looked at Twilight, she closed her eyes and breathe. She opened her eyes and Twilight's mane to reassure the alicorn that she's safe between her arms and will protect her at any cost. She then closed her eyes, "Vision! I should have guessed. How are you in my mind?" She shouted in her mind and started to groan.

"Oh, Dashie, you really don't learn. Why did Princess Twilight marry you anyway? Your such a, what do they call that. Oh , right dweb. Find it out yourself," He laughed maniacally as the voice in her head faded away. She opened her eyes and saw Twilight waking up, but she didn't seem to mind Twilight waking up so soon. She put her hoof in her chin, thinking. Twilight raised an eyebrow. She never saw Rainbow Dash this serious, unless there is something bothering her. She then look outside of the window and saw Canterlot.

"Dashie look! We're here, Canterlot," Twilight said with her voice aching, just trying to avoid the pain in her abdomen. Rainbow Dash's ears went from flatted cause thinking to 'Alert we're here!'. Rainbow Dash quickly turned to Twilight, Twilights's eyes were worried as ever.

"Twi, what's wrong? Is it the foal?!"Rainbow Dash asked with a calm to concerned voice.

"No, Dashie. But is something bothering you?" Her voice became crystal clear. The pain in her abdomen disappeared when she asked the question. Rainbow Dash can tell the Braxton hicks Twilight was having was gone.

"It's nothing Twi, don't worry about it too much. If you don't remember, I am the most coolest and awesome pony in all Equestria. My name is, Rainbow Dash the one and only," Rainbow Dash said with one of the most confident smile, voice and body, Twilight couldn't help but to giggle.

"So, Twi, who are we going to visit first?" Rainbow asked and hovered above Twilight, she saw ponies watching them and smiled, some ponies talked to them, some bowed and others saluted. Both of them are the most popular ponies in all Equestria and beyond.

"Hmmm, maybe my parents. We haven't seen them after we told them I'm pregnant," Twilight replied, Rainbow Dash got down from her flight and joined Twilight walking. "Sounds good to me,"Rainbow said as she smiled at Twilight and Twilight smiled her back.

The couple walked their way to Twilight's house. They talked all about the foal, Rainbow's flight record, Twilight's friendship lessons to some ponies she didn't know. Until they are in front of Twilight's house. "Here we are!" Twilight exclaimed.

"Wow, this place didn't change one bit," Rainbow Dash said. She knocked on the door rhythmically to let Twilight's parents know it was them. The door opened, but Rainbow Dash and Twilight weren't greeted by her parents. They were greeted by Shining Armor and Flurry Heart.

"Twily! I'm surprised you came," Shining paused and look the mare beside Twilight, "Rainbow Dash! your here too! So whats this visit for? I know you girls won't visit if you girls have something to say," Shining Armor said and gave the couple a sly smile. Twilight simply rolled her eyes and looked at Rainbow Dash.

"Ya know, Shining Armor you really don't know us when combined do you? Me and Twilight are just here to visit. That's all," Rainbow Dash replied. Twilight simply giggled when she saw Shining Armor's sly smile faded, Flurry Heart giggled as well, Shining Armor opened the room and saw her parents and her sister-in-law Cadence.

After visiting Twilight's parents, the couple went to the castle for the real reason why their here. Rainbow Dash's was worried on what the Princess will say. Twilight was worried for Rainbow Dash. They were at the castle throne room, as the Royal Guards bowed Twilight and Rainbow Dash walked the red carpet.They saw Princess Celestia standing on her throne, and Princess Luna beside her.

"Princess Twilight, we didn't got a scroll that the two of you are coming," Celestia said with her greeting voice. the two Princesses bowed down so as Rainbow Dash and Twilight.

"Sorry about that," Rainbow Dash said, rubbing the back of her head, "We are actually here to have a word with Princess Luna. In private," Twilight added.

Celestia looked at the Moon Princess, and nodded. The couple followed Princess Luna to her chambers, she motioned the lunar guards outside her room to leave them alone. As she opened the door, Rainbow Dash wowed when she saw the room. It was like she was in the galaxy.

"So, what is this you want to talk about?" Luna said.
