It has been an entire day since my dad was sent to the hospital, the thief was identified and it turned out that he was a solar guard who was dishonorably discharged for stealing from the emergency food reserves, then he became a criminal that became known throughout several cities.

"Spyro, Spyro!" Mom shouted as she ran towards me with a saddle bag.

"What is it did something happen to dad?" I asked in a panicked voice.

"No, he's fine the doctor said he would be fine, this is what im talking about." She said as she reached into her sable bag then pulled out a newspaper.

I grabbed it and read the headline

Mysterious earthquakes shakes the world

"You mean we're not the only ones that had an earthquake?" I asked her.

"You name it, Canterlot, Las Pegasus, Baltmare, Manehattan, the dragon lands, Griffin Stone, Yakyakistan, everyplace that was on the ground." She said with a worried voice as I read through the news paper, in the dragon lands many volcanoes have erupted causing many dragons to flee, because their homes caved in many ponies in the cities have died, even some of Canterlot fell off the mountain causing millions of bits worth of damage to not only Canterlot, but also to the rest of equestria.

'Did this happen because of me, because I saved my parents?' I said in my head as my claws started shaking.

"It seems we got the weakest of the earthquakes though there are still a few injured." Mom said as she looked over my shoulder to look at the newspaper again.

I set it down and took a deep breath before looking at mom. "Can we visit him?" I asked her as she looked at me.

"Of course we can, but he's a little weak so he can't talk long." She said so we got Big Mac, Applejack, and Apple Bloom then headed to the hospital.

The doctors took us to his room he was laying down on a bed his eyes barely open, but they opened fully when he saw us. "Hey come to pay me a visit?" He asked with a smile.

"You ok?" I asked as I walked up to his bed then placed my front legs on it.

"Yeah, it still hurts a bit, and it'll leave a scar, but I'll be fine though the doctors don't want me doing any heavy lifting for a few days." He told us then we heard giggling, and I saw mom place Apple Bloom next to dad.

"Hey Apple Bloom." Dad said with a smile as she waved her hooves at him playfully, making us chuckling at how adorable she was.

"Well, we won't keep you up you have to rest if you want to get out of here." I said as I got off the bed, and mom grabbed Apple Bloom.

We left him to rest and went home to prepare for his return, we were planning a party for when he came back, what happened was horrible, but they both survived and that was worth celebrating.

But until he came back it was work as usual me and Big Mac were gathering apples like normal nothing special about it, but as I gathered them a thought ran through my mind.

'Why did this happen all I wanted to do was save them, was that so wrong?' I said in my head I remembered the newspaper, so many ponies died because of my actions, and so many things could change because of my actions.

"Spyro you ok." Big Mac asked it was rare he said anything other than eeyup or nope.

"Yeah, just doing some deep thinking about a lot of stuff that has been happening Apple Bloom 's birth, the thief, the earthquake, so much has happened in such a short time don't you think?" I asked him.

"Eeyup." He said returning to his usual speaking habits.

"Are you ever going to just talk normally?" I asked as I shook my head with a smile on my face.

"Nope." He said simply as he put a barrel in his cart.

We continued picking up apples until mother ran up to us. "Your father's been released, we have to get home to surprise him." She told us so we dropped everything and rushed to the house.

Once we were inside I looked in every decoration, there were streamers, some confetti on the floor, and in the dining room there was a huge cake with several different apple treats around it.

Applejack ran in the house breathing heavily, and after catching her breath she said. "Dad is almost here." She told us.

We smiled as we hid and waited for him to come through the door.

We heard creaking on the porch then the door opened, as dad stepped through.

"Hello anypony here." He said as he looked around then we jumped out of our hiding places and yelled.

"SURPRISE." We said nearly screaming and we took him into the dining room before he could say anything.

"Wow all this for me?" He asked us as we sat him down in his chair.

"Of course we would celebrate." Granny Smith said entering the room with one of her pies.

"You survived, that's all that matters to us so why shouldn't we?" I said as we all sat down.

We started eating, and mom started telling jokes as we ate which made this day more enjoyable.
