Boom! New chapter out!

The Return

Jason drove through the portal and found himself just outside of Ponyville. He looked around at the familiar town that he had grown attached to, a small smile forming on his face, but quickly turned into a frown as he thought about the ones he abandoned.

“Would they still miss me? Do they still want me around? Can I really just come back to them?” A thousand thoughts rushed through Jason’s mind as he grew more and more hesitant about going back, his hands tightening against the bike. But he calmed down after feeling Avril’s hands on his.

“Hey, it’s okay. I’m here for you.” Avril smiled warmly at him. Jason smiled softly and sighed heavily.

“Thanks, just…scarier, I guess. Funny, I haven’t felt scared in a long…long ass time,” he said, Avril gently hugged him as a way to help calm him down.

“Well, now you don't have to do it alone,” Avril said as she held him close. Jason smiled and started to drive towards Ponyville, heading straight towards Twilight’s house.

Jason parked his bike just outside the tree house and stepped off with Avril, walking up to the door he lifted up his hand and took in a deep breath, gaining the courage to knock on her door. Taking off his helmet as he waited anxiously for the door to open. There were a few moments of silence until the two heard shuffling from inside. The door creaked open to reveal a very tired-looking young drake.

“Pinkie…I thought we said we weren’t interested in early bird hot cocoa…” Spike groaned as he rubbed his eyes then yawned.

“Actually, Spike. I’ve come-” Jason was interrupted when a blue and rainbow blur crashed into him.

When Jason looked up, he saw that he was being held down by Rainbow Dash and she was pounding away at his chest with tears in her eyes. “You miserable bastard! How could you leave us without even saying goodbye!? I should string you up myself if I didn’t love you!” Her pounding ceased as the words left her lips. “Uhh, I mean…what I meant was…”

“Huh?” Spike looked over and saw Jason on the ground. “J-Jason?!”

“Spike, what’s all the commotion?” Behind Spike came Twilight as she yawned. She was wearing short pajama bottoms that hugged her hips nicely and a loose tank top that offered Jason a generous view of cleavage, along with seeing her nipples poke through the fabric a little.

“Twilight! It’s Jason!” Spike said, pointing at the downed man.

“Jason?” Twilight looked over to see Jason finally stand up on his feet after nudging Rainbow aside. “J…J-Jason?!”

Jason smiled shyly at Twilight and waved at her.

“Hey, Sparkle Butt. It’s been a-oof!” Jason was cut off as he was tackled once more but this time it was Twilight that tackled him.

“JASON!” Twilight cried as she buried her face in his chest, tears streaming down her face, slamming her fists against his chest as she looked down at him. “Why did you leave us?! You had us all worried sick about you! I thought…I thought I’d never see you again…!” Twilight slowed down on her punches as she cried. Jason sat up and hugged her tightly.

“I know…I fucked up big time, and I have no right to say this, but…I am so so sorry, for abandoning you all. I will do whatever it takes to earn your forgiveness and your trust back,” Jason said as tears built up in the corners of his eyes. Twilight sniffled as she stepped back and noticed Jason’s new armor.

“Jason, what are you wearing?” She wondered.

“It looks badass! Well, not as badass as me, but still!” Rainbow huffed.

“And…who’s she?” Spike pointed to Avril, who was waiting patiently for them. Jason chuckled and stood up with Twilight.

“This is some new armor some new friends of mine had made for me. If I’m staying here then I wanna make sure I can protect all of you.” Jason then blushed heavily and scratched his neck nervously. “She’s…uh…Avril. I met her while I was with Axel. She’s…um…” Avril walked over to Jason and hugged his arm, smothering his muscular arm in her soft mounds.

“A very good and new friend of this handsome devil.” Avril giggled as she rested her head on his shoulder. A small mischievous glint in her eyes.

“I…I see,” Twilight said with a twitch in her eye. “Well, let’s get you both inside. It’s still very early and we have to wait for everypony else.”

“Sounds good to me,” Jason nodded.

A few hours later

Four mares walked with each other towards Twilight’s home with a white furred manticore. They were still a bit depressed after it being a month since Jason’s leaving.

“Ah wonder what Twilight wanted us to come to her place for?” Applejack wondered.

“Do you think she has gotten word from Mr. Axel about Jason’s whereabouts?” Rarity guessed.

“I sure hope so, I got a whole tray of cake I wanna stuff in Jason’s face!” Pinkie said.

Applejack knocked on the door and Spike opened the door

“Howdy Spike, what’s going…on…” Applejack froze as she saw Jason standing in the library. Rarity, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie all looked inside and gasped in shock. Jason looked over at them as they walked in, smiling at them.

“Hi-” Jason then, once again, got tackled by Pinkie Pie as she cried like a fountain.

“You’re back! Bwaaaa!” Pinkie cried. Jason hugged Pinkie Pie back as he slowly got back up, only to be pushed back down as the other mares all hugged him, tears streaming down their faces as they all held on to Jason with a tight grip, fearing that he would leave if they let go.

“I missed you too,” Jason said as he held them close. “I’m so sorry I was away. I just had to figure some shit out.” They all stood up again and Jason noticed Fluttershy looking away from him, whimpering a little. “Flutters?” The timid mare glanced back at Jason as he slowly took a step forward and tipped her up under her chin with his finger. “I missed you, especially.”

Fluttershy started to blush and smile cutely at the attention. "I’ve missed you too,” she told him before hiding her face back in her mane. Jason smiled warmly at her and brought her into a gentle and loving hug. He then cupped her cheek and looked deep into her eyes.

“All my life I always felt unworthy of love, that someone like me never deserved it…until I met you, all of you. I promise to do right by you all, but don't blame me if you all regret it later.” He chuckled softly and then kissed Fluttershy lovingly. Fluttershy gasped a little but sighed as she leaned into Jason and wrapped her arms around her neck. When they pulled away, Jason saw the happiest smile on Fluttershy’s face.

“Oh Jason…I’m so happy you’re back. I…I love you,” Fluttershy said.

“And I love you too, Flutters,” Jason said with confidence.

“Hey! Don’t forget us!” Rainbow said as she grabbed Jason’s shoulder and turned him towards her. “I meant what I said earlier, you know!”

“That you love me?” Jason said. “Why Skittles, I didn’t take you for the sappy romantic type.”

“Sh-shut up! Who cares if I love you?!” Rainbow snapped.

“You said it again,” Jason teased.

“I said shut up!” Rainbow grabbed Jason’s collar and pulled him in and kissed Jason full on the mouth. The action surprised Jason, but didn’t reject it as she pulled away. “I love you too, Jason, so don’t ever do something stupid like abandoning us. Or next time it won’t be that Axel guy coming after you. I’ll be hunting you down myself!”

“Heh, love you too, Skittles,” Jason said with a soft chuckle.

“Ah hope ya ain’t forgotten about us, sugarcube,” Applejack said, gesturing to herself and the remaining mares. Jason chuckled softly and grabbed Applejack by her hip and pulled her into a loving kiss, his hands on her hips as Applejack wrapped her arms around his neck. Her eyes closed shut as she practically melted in the kiss. When Jason pulled away Applejack had a goofy smile on her face and was redder than an apple.

“W-Wow…” Applejack sighed happily. Jason looked over at Rarity who blushed heavily and fanned herself to keep her cool. Jason grabbed her hand and dipped her, placing a deep and loving kiss on her lips. Rarity went wide eyed but leaned into the kiss, one of her hooves going up as she enjoyed his warm lips.

Jason slowly pulled away and stood up, Rarity dramatically falling on the couch with her arm over her eyes.

“Ooooh, Darling~.” Rarity giggled as she sighed dreamily.

“My turn!” Pinkie Pie jumped at Jason who grabbed her and spun her around. Jason held her by her thighs as she cupped his cheeks. The two leaned in and kissed each other. Pinkie Pie’s mane and tail all bounced and stood on end as she was in Heaven. The two slowly pulled away and she smiled

“Better than cupcakes~.” Pinkie Pie giggled as she nuzzled his nose with hers. Jason laughed softly.

“Always had a feeling you were sweet~.” He winked at her, gently setting her down. Jason looked over at Twilight who tensed up and blushed heavily in embarrassment.

“I-I-I have d-done a small amount of research o-on k-k-kissing and romance, b-but I don’t-” Twilight was rambling on until Jason stopped her by placing his lips on hers. Twilight gasped in shock but happily leaned into the kiss. The two held the kiss for a moment until they separated and Twilight was left in a daze.

“I owe you all an apology.” Jason turned to the rest of the girls.

“You don’t have to apologize, darling,” Rarity said, but Jason shook his head.

“No, I do. I was selfish, stupid, and what I did was downright dumb and reckless. I…I gave in to my own demons and hurt all of you, but…but no more.” Jason smiled at them all. “That’s why after a lot of thinking…I have decided to stay permanently. With all of you.”

“But what about your home? Your own family?” Applejack asked, while she and the others loved Jason they didn’t want him to be forced to decide between them and his family.

“I will always love my family, and will miss them, but I know they’re doing fine without me and keeping our home safe. I’m right where I belong.” Jason smiled. Avril smiled and hugged him, kissing him passionately. The sight between Jason and the new wolf woman caused all the mares to have a hint of anger and jealousy towards her

“By the way, who the heck is she?” Rainbow asked as she crossed her arms.

“Name’s Avril, and like the rest of you, I, too, have fallen for this handsome stud. Hope you all don’t mind.” Avril giggled as she hugged Jason, finding the mares’ jealousy amusing.

“Be that as it may, we still need to confirm something,” Twilight said after clearing her throat. “Jason, as you now know, we all have feelings for you. As such, it is customary for when multiple mares love a stallion, they form a herd together.”

“Remind me what a herd is again?” Jason requested.

“It’s when a stallion can have more than one mare as a lover since the gender ratio is a little unbalanced in Equestria,” Rainbow explained.

“A colt is born for every four or five fillies,” Fluttershy explained further.

“Y’know, that does explain a lot,, now that I think about it.” Jason tapped his chin in thought.

“So, does that mean you’ll form a herd with us?” Applejack said.

“Well, to be honest, this whole multiple lovers deal is a bit of a huge step from what I was normally used to back home. However, if it’s with you girls, I wouldn’t have it any other way. So sure, let’s give this herd thing a shot.”

“Yay!” Pinkie cheered as the rest of the girls smiled brightly. “Oh! Oh! There’s something else you should know! We decided to have Fluttershy be the lead mare of our herd!”

Fluttershy blushed heavily and hid behind her mane.

“What’s a lead mare, exactly?” Jason asked as he didn’t really research this nor really bothered to learn more about it.

“A lead mare is kinda like the boss, other than the stallion of course. She is in charge of who can be allowed into the herd and who can bear a child. Although the stallion’s word is final, the lead mare can have a say in the matter,” Twilight explained

“Oh, okay. I kinda get it?” Jason said as he scratched his head, this whole thing still being all new to him. Avril looked at Fluttershy and gave her a cute innocent puppy dog look.

“Can I join? Please?” Avril whimpered a little. Fluttershy tensed up a bit and glanced away, slowly nodding her head.

“A-Alright…” Fluttershy said, Avril smiled and hugged Fluttershy, nuzzling her cheek. “Oh my, your fur is so soft.” Fluttershy touched her fur.

“Thank you, I try my best to make sure I’m always up for cuddles.” Avril giggled.

Nala made a cuffing noise and approached Jason.

“Holy-! What the hell’s this thing?!” Jason yelped. Fluttershy walked over and petted Nala in her sweet spots.

“This is Nala, she was with Axel when he came and saved us. Axel asked us to watch her while he went to find you,” Fluttershy explained

“Axel? In that case you must really miss the guy.” Jason petted Nala. “Thank you for watching over them. Let’s get you home.” Jason pulled out the key that was given to him and used it to open a portal to the Edge. Nala then ran inside as the portal closed.

“Whoa nelly! What in the hay was that?” Applejack gasped in shock as she looked at Jason

“A gift from Axel and some new friends of mine. It’s a key that allows me to travel to the Edge, a different universe. There, I saw other versions of Equestria.” Jason told them

“Incredible! Can I please use that to investigate these alternate Equestras?” Twilight asked and added her own puppy dog eyes.

“Sorry, egg head, it’s for my use and my use only,” Jason said and Twilight pouted.

“Are these new friends of yours the reason you’re also decked out in that awesome set of armor?” Rainbow pointed out. Jason smirked and flaunted his new gear

“Yep. Met a dwarf named Brok that gave my armor and gear an upgrade.” Jason slowly turned to give them a full view of his gear. However the mares and Avril all stared at his lower regions, more accurately his crotch.

“That is so cool!” Spike said. “You think he can make me a suit like yours?”

“Probably. If I see him again I’ll ask him.” Jason smiled and patted Spike’s head

“I heard a loud noise this morning, what’s that strange thing that’s sitting outside of the treehouse?” Twilight asked.

“What strange thing?” Applejack said.

“Loud noise? Oh! Come with me, I’ll show you what it was,” Jason said as he ushered them to follow him outside. Jason then pointed at his new motorcycle. “Say hello to my new ride!” He exclaimed with pride.

“Whoa! That looks awesome!” Rainbow Dash said

“Amazing! I’ve never seen a machine like this!” Twilight and Rainbow Dash ran over to it and started awing it as they circled around it.

“It’s called a motorcycle, we use it to travel long distances. It’s fast as lightning and rides smooth like silk,” Jason said proudly.

“Do you have a name for it?” Spike asked as he basked in the vehicle’s glory.

“Name it? Why?” Jason wondered.

“Dude! All heroes have names for their rides! It’s common knowledge!” Spike said. Jason hummed in thought as he was racking his brain on a name for his new ride. He then snapped his finger and smirked.

“Cyclone,” Jason suggested.

“That’s an awesome name!” Rainbow said.

“Well don’t just stand there like a stalk of corn, sugarcube, show us how this fancy thing rides,” Applejack said.

“Yeah! I wanna see it zip around Ponyville!” Pinkie said.

“With pleasure!” Jason put on his helmet and got on the bike, revving up the engine as it roared to life. Jason then drove off doing a wheelie, speeding down the street like a rocket. Reaching the end of town in no time, Jason then drifted and circled back. Driving down past Twilight’s house.

“Watch this!” Jason shouted as he pushed a button and the bike locked Jason’s arms as it started to transform back into its car form. Jason drove from the other end of town, seeing ponies wake up from the loud noise and look in amazement and wonder at the strange speeding machine. Jason turned back and drove back to the tree house, stopping in front of the others. Jason stepped out and crossed his arms as he leaned against his car.

“That! Is! Awesome!” Rainbow cheered as the others clapped and cheered as well.

“You were like a rocket on wheels!” Pinkie Pie said

“Woo, you moved faster than a rattle snake catching its meal.”

“Simply breathtaking, darling.”

“That was unbelievable! You must tell me everything!”

“That was so cool! Can I drive?” Spike asked.

“Heh, maybe another time. But I can teach you later. By the way, a friend named Ash made this. Not sure what he made it with, but he is a God when it came to cars. Dude practically lives with them, maybe I can even show you all and you can ask him how he makes them.” Jason told him “B…..first, there are still a few more people I gotta meet first,” Jason said. Referring to Scootaloo and Luna and Celestia.

“Wait, wait, wait, wait back up here, a god? As in a real god?” Rainbow asked.

“Well, technically, there were three gods I met while I was away.” Jason replied. There was a long silence amongst the group as the wind blew past them.

“Just where the heck were you, Jason?!” Rainbow asked.

Bzzzzt! “Test, testing…” bzzzt. A sudden noise startled the group as a capsule opened up in the car and an image appeared above it. The image formed four familiar individuals and were holographic images.

“Testing…is this thing on?” Axel said, poking the device.

“Dude, would you not tap on it?” Ash grumbled. Jason looked over at his car and got in, seeing a flashing button he pressed it and saw Axel and the others appear as holograms above the console of his car.

“Axel? Ash? The hell are you guys doing” Jason chuckled “But it’s good to you guys again, didn’t think it would be this soon.”

“Hiya!” Pinkie Pie appeared in front of the holograms and started bouncing up and down in the passenger seat. “HiimPinkiePiewhoareyouareyoufriendswithJasonwhatsyourfavoriteflavordoyoulikepartiesdoGodspartydoyouwannahaveaparty.-“ Pinkie Pie started going on and on and on until Jason gently grabbed her and petted her head.

“Easy, Pinkie.” Jason smiled as he caressed her cheek "What are you guys up to?" He asked them

“Just checking to see if your new ride is working. I forgot to test it for interdimensional travel, so here I am. As for these three they wanted to check on you,” Ash responded.

“How is this possible?” Twilight asked as she leaned in through the driver’s side and went to poke Ash only for her hand to phase through him.

“Hey, you gotta buy me dinner before you go copping a feel, little mare,” Ash said jokingly. Jason pulled Twilight on his lap and wrapped his arms around her.

“Hey, back off,” Jason said as he got a little defensive. Twilight blushed heavily as she actually liked the way Jason got a little protective of her.

“It’s like something from a comic book,” Spike said as he climbed up to Twilight’s lap to get a better look.

“Please, we’re way cooler than a comic book, dude, because this is real,” Ash said.

“That’s Ash, he’s the one that made the car,” Jason said

“Really? This is a technological wonder! You simply must tell me how you made them!” Twilight said as she pulled out a notepad and pencil.

“Heh, Twilight, even if I had the time and everything I need for a proper demonstration, that notebook wouldn’t be big enough to jot down everything. But hey, ‘A’ for effort in terms of seeking knowledge,” Ash said.

“When it comes to Twilight, she’ll need a mountain of notepads to write down every little thing,” Spike said, making the others laugh as Twilight blushed slightly and giggled.

“How did you meet Jason?” Applejack asked as she was curious as to what Jason has been up to during his time away.

“He stopped by my auto shop. I was working on restoring another car at the time when this lot brought him over. We got around to talking and I offered him this ride. In exchange, he tested it to see if it’s working and everything,” Ash said.

“Right before we fixed his schizo head of his,” Axel said.

“Hey, wait a second, the brand!” Twilight gasped as she cupped Jason’s cheek. “It’s gone!”

“Brand?” Ash asked.

“Angrboða.” Joe said.

“Ah.” Ash hummed in understanding.

“So you good from now on, Jason?” Kai asked. “Joe and Axel told me about that little scrape with your darker self. Trust me, we’ve all been there.”

“Still have mine.” Suddenly, a black ooze sprouted from Joe’s shoulder and formed a wolfish head with giant white hollow eyes, long sharp teeth, and a wolf grin.

“Stop complaining so much! We keep you from doing stupid shit and in return, you provide us plenty of snacks!” The entity let its tongue out and it licked its chops before retreating back into Joe.

“See? Still a pain in the ass,” Joe said while pointing to his shoulder.

“What the hell was that man!?” Jason yelled while the girls backed away a little.

“Long story. Anyway, because of Angrboða, Jason’s mind is clear now,” Joe said with a thumbs up. He then hears something off to the side. “I gotta go. But before I go.” Joe straightens up and looks at Jason. “Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope.”

The entity appeared again and glared at Joe. “That was horrible! You should feel ashamed for sullying such a masterpiece!” The creature then headbutts Joe in the face. “I’m sorry! I don’t know what came over me, please, allow me to fix it. So I can break it again!” Joe gets headbutted again, causing him to go off-screen.

“Jeezus, and I thought I had it bad,” Jason said as he saw Joe go off screen after getting headbutted. “Oh, and Axel. I sent Nala back to the edge after coming back. Thanks again for having her watch over the others while I was away.”

“Tell Nala I will miss her.” Fluttershy smiled as she waved.

“I sure will, Fluttershy,” Axel nodded. “And Avril? You take care of yourself in that Equestria, okay?”

“I’ll be just fine so long as I have my handsome alpha with me,” Avril said as she licked Jason’s cheek.

Jason blushed and smiled at her, while the other mares all had a small tinge of jealousy towards Avril.

“Tell Brok I’ll buy him that bar next time I see him.” Jason chuckled softly.

“Will do, take care of yourself, bro.” The transmission ended and Jason climbed out of the car so it could transform back into a bike.

“So, mind telling me what I missed while I was away?” Jason asked Twilight.

Twilight and her friends all laughed and giggled

“You missed out on a lot, sugar cube,” Applejack said as they headed inside Twilight's house. The mares and Spike started telling Jason everything he had missed. Telling Jason about how the embodiment of Chaos, Discord, broke free from his stone prison and nearly plagued Equestria into Chaos, and almost broke her and her friends apart. And how Twilight's brother got married to Princess Cadence but turned out to be Queen Chrysalis, Queen of the Changelings, and tried to take over Canterlot with her army but with the power of friendship and love they were able to defeat her.

Jason went wide eyed as the mares explained to him what had happened during his time away.

“Holy shit. I…I missed out on a lot. I should’ve been there…” Jason ran a hand through his hair. Pinkie Pie held his hand and smiled.

“Don’t be sad, silly. It’s just our job as saviors of Equestria after all.” Pinkie Pie giggled. Jason smiled and chuckled.

“Yeah, but the fact you all fought a chaos God and a whole army of changelings is amazing. And kinda hot~.” Jason winked at the mares. The mares all blushed and giggled in response.

“I can only imagine what the princesses will say when they see you again,” Twilight said.

“Oh yeah, how is Celestia and Luna?” Jason wondered.

“Celestia has been quite well, but Luna hasn’t been seen in some time,” Twilight explained. “It’s strange, she wasn’t around after we defeated Discord or even during the channeling invasion. She just up and disappeared after you left.”

“Oh dear, you don’t think she was too upset with Jason leaving too, do you?” Fluttershy wondered.

“Well, I can understand how she can be upset, but it couldn’t be that bad, right?”

All the mares looked at each other and back to Jason.

“Darling, I don’t believe you understand. A woman always knows why a mare is upset in these situations,” Rarity said.

“And that means?” Jason said.

“Duh, Jason, Luna likes you too,” Rainbow smirked. Jason blushed and rubbed his face, groaning as he cursed himself.

“Damnit…” He muttered. He should’ve known that Luna would also take this hard as he knew she had feelings for him. “…send a letter to Celestia. Tell her to come here, and…see if she can bring Luna here as well,” Jason said as he stood up from the couch

“Where are you going?” Avril asked.

“There’s…I gotta see Scootaloo again, apologize to her as well,” Jason said as he started to head for the door.

Jason tucked his hands in his jacket as he made his way to the orphanage. Any pony who saw him were both happy and surprised to see his return but he kept up his pace. He soon arrived at a building that looked like a large school house and he took a deep breath and knocked on the door. The door soon opened to reveal a unicorn mare wearing a white collared shirt, blue overalls, and had her mane styled in twin pigtails. Her fur was peach yellow, her mane was red wine, and her eyes were pale green. Jason couldn’t help but notice that a few buttons were open from her shirt, giving him a bit of a view of her cleavage.

“Yes? Can I help you?” The mare asked, leaning on the doorframe. Jason shook his head and looked at the mare/

“I’m Jason Todd. I’m looking for Scootaloo. Orange filly, purple mane and tail, a pegasus, rides a scooter, good kid.” Jason said, hoping she was here.

“Scoots? Oh! You must be the stallion who broke her heart.” The mare crossed her arms and narrowed her eyes. “You’re the reason she hasn’t left her room in a month. She’s been so depressed, she barely even rides her scooter anymore.”

Jason winced as he could actually feel the tug at his heart and lump in his throat as feelings of guilt just grew bigger.

“I…I know I fucked up, big time. Just…I wanna talk to her, she doesn’t have to say anything, hell, she doesn’t even have to see me. I just wanna talk to her. Please.” Jason begged the mare.

“Give me one damn good reason why I should let you anywhere near her?!” The mare barked.

“…because I wanna give her something she needs. A family,” Jason said with unshaken resolve and determination in his eyes “Scootaloo deserves to have a good life. I don’t want her to become someone like me.”

The mare paused for a minute before her face relaxed a bit. “Are you saying you wanna actually adopt Scootaloo?”

“Absolutely.”

“Are you sure about this? This isn’t something to joke about, this is a lifelong commitment. This would mean she would be your daughter, so can you look me in the eye and tell me you’d be willing to be her father?”

Jason looked the mare in her eyes, his blue staring into her pale green eyes.

“I want to make Scootaloo my daughter. I will do everything in my power to make sure she has a good childhood and grows up to become a great person. Er, pony I mean.” He corrected himself. “And if anyone even tries to lay a finger on her or tries to tear her away from me, they have to get through my cold dead body first.”

The mare stared back at Jason and smiled. “Seems you’ve made up your mind.” The mare opened the door up more for Jason to walk through. “Down the hall to your right, third door on your left. My name’s Nursery Rhyme, by the way, I’ll get the paperwork prepared. You should know, it’s her birthday today so you better have a good plan on how to make her happy.”

Jason smiled at Nursery Rhyme and nodded.

“You can call me Jason, and…thank you. I really do appreciate you letting me talk to her." He said as he headed towards Scootaloo's room. Knocking on the door. There was no response from the other side as Jason knocked once more.

“Go away…” A quiet voice said, it was barely audible through the door but Jason kept knocking. “I said go away!” Scootaloo shouted, but the knocking continued. Soon the door swung open “I said-!” Scootaloo froze as she saw Jason standing right outside her door.

“Hey kiddo.” Jason waved at her. The filly stared up at Jason, unable to process who she was looking at. As it started to register to her already red eyes, the tears began to drip out like a faucet. Her knees became weak and she whimpered and sniffled as emotions overwhelmed her small frame.

“J…Jason…?” Scootaloo croaked. Jason knelt down to her level and smiled softly at her

“I know, I-” Jason was cut off as Scootaloo started hitting his chest.

“You left! You left me behind! You didn’t even say goodbye! I thought…I thought…I’d never see you again…” Scootaloo cried and whimpered. Jason quickly wrapped his arms around her in a loving embrace as she cried in his chest

“I know, and I’m sorry. I’m so, so sorry, Scootaloo. I was an idiot, but I promise you that I will NEVER leave you again,” Jason said as a tear ran down his cheek. The two held each other for an untold amount of time until Jason looked down at Scootaloo.

“Scoots, there’s a few things I want to say to you. While I was away, I always regretted not telling you the amount of joy you brought to my life ever since I came to this world. You always have a smile and helped me forget my dark past. A filly like you deserves the best, and shouldn’t have to spend her time alone anymore.”

“What are you saying?” Scootaloo wondered.

Jason smiled warmly, trying his best to not cry and summoned all his courage as he held both Scootaloo’s hands. “Scoots…I want to give you the best birthday gift I can offer. I want to adopt you as my daughter, happy birthday.”

Scootaloo gasped as she looked up at Jason, her hands trembling as her lips quivered, tears swelling in her eyes.

“Don’t…don’t lie to me…” Scootaloo muttered.

“It’s not a lie.” Jason looked over to see Nursery Rhyme standing behind him with some paperwork. “He’s actually serious about this, Scoots.” Nursery Rhyme handed Jason the papers. Jason looked at Scootaloo.

“Well? Do…you want to be my daughter? It’s your choice Scootaloo. Just know that no matter what I will always be here if you need anything.” He promised her. Scootaloo looked at the papers and then at Jason. Crying as she wrapped her arms around her.

“Daddy!” Scootaloo cried as she let out all her emotions. Never thinking she would ever say that word again. Jason laughed as a warm feeling inside swelled up when Scootaloo called him dad. He never imagined to be a father, but here he was holding his new daughter.

Is this what you felt like when you took us in, Bruce? Jason thought to himself.

After packing all of Scootaloo’s belongings, Jason followed Nursery Rhyme to her desk so Jason could fill out the rest of the paperwork. All while Scootaloo sat in his lap.

“Sign here…signature here…and initial here,” Nursery instructed. “Well, everything seems to be in order. Congratulations, you two, you’re officially father and daughter.”

“Scootaloo Todd, huh, has a nice ring to it, wouldn’t you say Scoots?” Jason said as they admired the certificate.

“I should be thanking you, she’s been dreaming of this day for a long time,” Nursery said as she shook his hand.

Jason picked up Scootaloo’s bag with his free hand and carried Scootaloo out of the orphanage. Scootaloo couldn’t stop smiling as she continuously nuzzled the crook of Jason’s neck and Jason just held her close. When they finally made it back to Twilight’s place, the rest of Jason’s new herd had left for home leaving Twilight and Spike.

“Jason? How come you’re carrying Scootaloo in your arm?” Twilight wondered.

“Well, Twi, as of just five minutes ago, Scootaloo has officially become my adopted daughter,” Jason announced. Twilight and Spike both gasped and smiled brightly at the news.

“You adopted Scootaloo? Amazing!” Spike said

“That’s so sweet, Jason,” Twilight said as she walked over to him and kissed his cheek.

“Where’s Avril?” Jason asked.

“She went with Rarity so she can make her some new clothes,” Spike told Jason

“Ah, ok.” Jason said. “Did you send that letter to Celestia yet?” A flash of light appeared before Twilight could speak. When it died down, the sun princess herself stood in the middle of the library with her hands on her hips and staring Jason down.

“So you’ve returned,” Celesita said, arching a brow. Jason didn't know why but he felt a small shiver run down his spine as he saw Celestia appear before him.

“Hey Celestia…” He shyly waved.

“Hi, Princess Celestia!” Scootaloo waved. “Jason’s my dad now!" Scootaloo said happily as she snuggled Jason's neck and held him tightly.

Celestia took a moment to regard and process Scootaloo’s announcement before she smiled at the filly.

“That is wonderful to hear, my dear, but if you don’t mind I must speak with your new father alone,” Celestia said her smile hiding her mood but the tone when she said alone gave away her true feelings. Scootaloo nodded as Jason set her down.

“Go with Spike and tell your friends the news, okay, sweetie?” Jason smiled. Scootaloo smiled and hugged him one last time before her and Spike ran off. Jason gulped as he laughed nervously.

“Alone please, Twilight,” Celestia said to her prized student, her gaze never leaving Jason.

“I’m a…I’ll go over to…yeah.” Twilight quickly walked out, changing her clothes while Jason left earlier.

Jason felt a strand of sweat run down his head as he looked at Celestia .

“Sooo…how’ve you been?” Jason asked nervously.

“How do you think I’ve been?” Celestia asked, her voice never raising nor falling but still of resentment directed at Jason.

Jason sighed heavily and looked Celestia in the eyes. “Ah, fuck it, I’ve never been one to sugarcoat stuff. I fucked up, Celestia. I fucked up big time.” Jason confessed. “I abandoned all of you even when you all have shown me nothing but kindness, I thought I was keeping you all safe from me, but all I did was hurt you all. I know what I did was stupid, rash, and reckless. But know this…I am so, so sorry. For everything. For all the pain and heartache I gave all of you. I know what I did was…unforgivable, but know that I am truly sorry.”

Celestia glared at Jason for a bit before she backed off with a sigh.

“As much as I want to toss you onto the sun to fry, that would not help in any way. But, you are going to see Luna and you better get on your hands and knees and beg for her forgiveness, you hear me?” Celestia said as she poked Jason in the chest.

Jason nodded, not caring about his pride and ego anymore, only caring for the mares well-being

“Can you…take me to her?” He asked

“I can take you right now. Though I suggest you tell everyone before we go. You have a knack for disappearing without telling anyone,” Celestia said before sitting herself on one of the chairs in the living room.

“Harsh, then again, I deserve that,” Jason said as he walked out and headed to Sugarcube Corner to speak with Pinkie Pie first, since she lived closest. Jason made it to the gingerbread house-like building where he saw his new pink marefriend behind the counter.

“Hi, Jason!” Pinkie bounced over the counter and gave Jason a bone-crushing hug before giving his cheek a kiss. “Come to sample some pie~?” She told him while wiggling her rump. Jason gulped and turned red as his eyes glued to her thick and round rump, her ass on par with Celestia’s, he shook his head and focused.

“Later. Definitely later, but I wanted to tell you that I’m gonna see Luna, so I’ll be gone for a bit. Didn’t want to run off without saying something, again.” He chuckled softly. “Also, I wanted to tell you something. I…I adopted Scootaloo. She’s my daughter from now on,” Jason said proudly, happy to have a child

“Gasp! Oh my gosh! That is soo extra terrific! Wait, that means we’re all her new moms. Eeeeee! I have a daughter! I gotta go plan a party since it’s Scootaloo’s adopt-a-birthday!” Pinkie zipped off to the back room, only for her to return a second later. “Also, thanks for telling us where you’ll be. We really appreciate it.” Pinkie kisses Jason on the cheek before zooming off to the back room. Jason rubbed his cheek and smiled as he watched Pinkie zoom off, chuckling softly to himself before walking off to Rarity’s. The more he thought of it Pinkie was right, they are all now technically Scootaloo’s mothers. Their fist daughter, hopefully first of many. Jason smiled to himself and knocked on Rarity’s door.

“Come in.” Jason heard Rarity's voice say inside. When he went in, he saw Rarity was measuring Avril, who was standing half-naked on the podium, making Jason blush for the hundredth time today. “Just a moment dear. I’m with somepony at the-, Darling!” Rarity floated her measuring tape to the side and came rushing forward. “What brings you here?”

“Probably wanted to check out the goods,” Avril said while cupping her breasts, which were covered by a black laced bra.

I swear I’m going to wreck and absolutely ravage their bodies one of these days. Jason thought as he gulped

“J-Just wanted to tell you that I’m going to see Luna so I will be gone for a little bit. I also wanted to let you know that, well…you’re all moms now. I adopted Scootaloo just a while ago, she’s our daughter, as of today.” Jason smiled happily, just saying that filled him with so much pride, joy, and love. So this is how fatherhood feels like. The news shocked the two of them at first, but it soon passed as the two girls squeed at the opportunity.

“I can’t believe it, I’m somepony’s mother! Ohh! I can’t wait to design all her dresses.”

“That’s wonderful! I always wanted a daughter to love,” Avril said while stepping down and bringing Jason in for a hug.

Jason smiled and hugged Avril, and soon Rarity as she joined in as well. A smirk then appeared on Jason’s face as he held them.

“Maybe later, I’ll make sure we have kids of our own~,” he whispered in both of their ears before he then gave both their asses a nice firm spank, making their soft cheeks jiggle a bit. Jason pulled away and winked at them as he headed out. Leaving the blushing mare and anthro wolf swooning over him.

Jason started making his way to sweet Apple Acres to meet with Applejack and Scootaloo, since she must be with Applebloom and Sweetie Belle there. Once she arrived, Jason saw his daughter with Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle and the two fillies were in complete shock.

“Are y’all fer real?! Jason came back and he adopted ya?!” Apple Bloom yelped.

“That’s amazing! So is your last name Todd now?” Sweetie Belle chirped.

Jason saw his daughter with her friends and smiled, happy to see just how much Joy Scootaloo had on her face as she told them she was adopted by Jason.

“Yep! Jason’s my dad now!” Scootaloo proudly said

“That’s right. And Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie, and the rest are your moms now.” Jason told Scootaloo

“JASON!” Both fillies cheered as they hugged Jason.

“We’re so happy you’re back!” Sweetie Belle said.

“Ya gave quite the scare, ya varmint!” Apple Bloom said.

“I know, and I’m sorry, but I’m back and I’m here to stay,” Jason reassured them.

“That’s good, because now that you’re in a herd with our sisters, there’s something we wanna ask,” Apple Bloom said.

“Can…can we be your little sisters?” Sweetie Belle asked, looking up at him with big pleading eyes along with Apple Bloom.

Jason smiled and hugged them both.

“Of course you can, kiddos,” Jason said, he looked at Scootaloo and gestured for her to come and join in the hug. Jason hugged all three fillies and lifted them up, spinning them around as they giggled and screamed playfully. Jason then set them down and looked at Scootaloo.

“I’m gonna be gone for a little bit, but it won’t be long. I’m just gonna meet with Princess Luna. I will be back soon, I promise.” Jason then kissed Scootaloo's head. “Love you, Scoots.” Scootaloo smiled happily and kissed his cheek.

“Love you too, dad.” Scootaloo smiled warmly as she hugged her dad. Jason then stood up.

“Where's Applejack? I wanna tell her I’m going out for a bit.” He asked Applebloom. Jason’s answer was met with a pair of fleshy orbs pressing into his back and a pair of arms wrapping around his chest.

“Ya don’t have to look far, sugarcube,” Applejack said as she leaned up and kissed his cheek. Jason looked back and smiled at Applejack, holding her hand

“Hey, babe.” Jason then kissed Applejack lovingly.

“Awwwwww!” Sweetiebelle and Applebloom cooed.

“Bleh! Gross!” Scootaloo gagged and looked away. Jason slowly pulled away from the kiss and smiled at Applejack.

“I wanted to let you know that I’m gonna meet with Luna so I’ll be gone for a little bit. Also, say hello to our new daughter.” Jason looked over at Scootaloo.

“Aww, c’mere sugarcube,” Applejack bent down and brought Scootaloo into a hug. “Ah’m happy to be callin’ you mah daughter,” She told Scoots while stroking her back. Scootaloo smiled and her eyes shined as she hugged Applejack, this being the greatest birthday gift she could ever ask for. A family. A real family. Jason smiled and ruffled Scootaloo’s mane

“Be good with your mom now, ok?” Jason said before he kissed Applejack one last time. Slowly pulling away and walking off to Fluttershy’s cottage. The trek to Fluttershy’s place didn’t take too long and Jason was especially looking forward to telling Fluttershy about Scootaloo. He walked up the small trail to her door and could hear her humming from inside.

“Fluttershy? It’s me,” Jason said as he knocked on the door. He could hear her gasp and squeal a little as she quickly approached the door and opened it.

“Jason!” The timid mare jumped on Jason as she wrapped her arms around Jason’s neck and nuzzled into him. “What are you doing here? Not that I don’t mind, of course.”

Jason smiled and hugged Fluttershy as he kissed her cheek.

“I came to talk to you, I wanted to let you know that I’m going to meet with Princess Luna so I will be gone for a bit, but I’ll be back. I promise. Oh! And I have good news! Scootaloo is officially our daughter from now on. I adopted her a while ago.” Jason said happily as he kissed her head.

“Really?! I’m a mom?!” Fluttershy squealed again as she kissed Jason’s lips and her wings fluttered with excitement. “Oh, Jason, we’re parents! I will be sure to be the best mother to little Scootaloo I can be! I love you!”

“What’d you say?!”

Both looked up to see Rainbow Dash flying above them with a flabbergasted expression.

“You adopted Scoots?!” Rainbow said. Jason smiled and nodded

“That’s right, since I’m staying here for good I wanna give her what I didn’t. A good childhood. Get used to being called mom from now on, skittles.” Jason chuckled softly. Rainbow was still shocked to hear that Jason had adopted Scootaloo, but soon had a proud smile on her face.

“That is awesome! Didn’t think I’d have a kid, especially with a monkey like you.” Rainbow Dash flew down and playfully punched Jason’s shoulder. Jason laughed softly and pulled Rainbow Dash close.

“That’s because you haven’t gone wild yet~.” Jason winked at Rainbow Dash as he then kissed her passionately. Making her wings flare up as she kissed him back. “Oh my…” Fluttershy blushed.

“Welp, I’ll be back soon so I’ll see you later,” Jason said as he waved goodbye.

Now that he informed his new herd the news, Jason walked back to the library where Celestia was still waiting for him. He opened the door to see the sun monarch having a cup of tea.

“I take it you’ve sorted everything out?” Celestia said, opening an eye to Jason.

“Yep, I’m all set,” Jason nodded.

“Good, but before we go, there’s something else I must get off my chest.” Celestia stood up and approached Jason. Before he could react, Celestia brought Jason in for a hug and held him close. It wasn’t long until he could feel her trembling a little.

“Please…don’t ever disappear like that again…” Celestia whimpered. Jason was a little confused and shocked to see Celestia act this way towards him, but he gently wrapped his arms around her, rubbing her back as he held her.

“It will take an army and God himself in order to take me away,” he said, slowly pulling away and looking into her eyes, Jason gave her a kind smile. “You don’t have to worry about anything, Princess. So don’t be upset, I like you better with a smile on your face.”

“Please, starting today, do not simply address me so formally. You may call me Celestia and nothing more.” Celestia fidgeted in place a bit and glanced away shyly. “Or…you can call me Tia as well.” Jason was surprised by hearing this but smiled at her, glad to see that she trusted and liked him enough to call her that.

“Thanks, Tia. And thank you for everything, it means so much to me. I’m ready to go whenever you are.”

Celestia blushed at being called Tia, before straightening out. “Very well.” Celestia grabbed Jason by the shoulder and her horn lit up. “Hold on.” With a flash, the two had left the library and teleported to Canterlot. Before Jason knew it, they were staining in the throne room and Jason felt a rush of nausea come over him, threatening to spit up his lunch.

“Are you alright?” Celestia asked, noticing his face turn green.

Jason placed his hands on his knees to keep himself stable as he held in his lunch.

“Yeah I…I’m fine. Oh dear God, I think I’m gonna toss out my insides.” He groaned, shaking his head as he calmed down. “God I hate teleporting. Where’s Luna?” He asked while looking around.

“Just a moment.” Celestia’s horn lit up for a few seconds and then she looked at Jason. “You might want to brace yourself.”

Before Jason could wonder what exactly she meant by that, the doors slammed open and a very pissed-off lunar alicorn came marching in. “Where is he!? Where’s the little bastard who dared to leave us without so much as a goodbye!?” Her murderous gaze soon found Jason. “YOU!” She engulfed him in her magic and brought him face to face with her. “Give me one good reason why I don’t feed your stallionhood to rabid ferrets!?”

Jason gulped and was sweating bullets, feeling fear as his blood ran cold after seeing and hearing Luna’s threat.

“O-Okay! Okay! I know what I did was stupid, reckless, and downright a shitty thing to do. Especially after everything you all have done for me. I let my own demons take control of my life and nearly destroyed what could have been the last good things in my life. I’m sorry, Luna. I truly am. I’m not asking for forgiveness, I don’t deserve it, but know that I will never leave you again. I will do whatever it takes to be the man that you can love and is worthy of your love. I love you, Luna. I’m sorry for being a dumb, stupid, reckless, stubborn, asshat.” He held deep regret in his eyes as he poured his heart out to her.

Luna stared into Jason’s eyes with hate in her own for another moment before diving right in and making out with Jason. Jason was surprised by the 180-degree turn but quickly melted into it and brought his arms around her waist. When the two of them separated, Jason could see her eyes were filled with a loving desire. “I love you as well, my red hooded knight.” She then goes in for another kiss. Jason moaned softly in the kiss as his hands started to rub her hips and soon make their way up her wings, gently brushing against her feathered wings, hearing her moan and shiver in his hold. Jason slowly pulled away and panted slightly.

“I love you too, my queen of the night,” he said as he hugged her and kissed her cheek. Luna smiled dreamily as she rested her head on Jason’s chest.

“I’ve waited for this day for so long,” Luna said.

“Oh pony feathers, I can’t stand the wait any longer!” Celestia said out of the blue.

“What do you mean?” Jason said.

“Sister, remember that agreement we made when we were fillies?”

“Yes, but are you sure?” Luna asked her sister.

“Very, I wouldn’t have it any other way,” Celestia nodded.

“Uh, mind telling me what’s going on?” Jason said.

“Oh, just the fact that we would like to share you,” Luna said bluntly.

“Lulu! Don’t say it so plainly!” Celestia flustered.

Jason turned bright red as he heard this, shocked to hear that Celestia wanted to be with him.

“So a pair of royal twin Goddesses wants to be with me?...I think I had this dream before.” Jason chuckled and walked over to Celestia, grabbing her shoulders and pulling her down into a deep and loving kiss. Jason moaned softly in the kiss before slowly pulling away. Celestia was at a loss for words as her face turned beet red but she smiled and kissed Jason herself once more. They pulled away and she hugged her new coltfriend close in a loving embrace, followed by her sister who joined in on the hug.

“Are you sure you are content with us? We’re quite a handful, the pair of us,” Luna said. Jason laughed a bit and nodded

“Are you kidding me? It wouldn’t be fun if you two weren’t wild. Question is, can you handle me~?” Jason then gently brushed his fingers along the edges of their wings, remembering how Rainbow Dash reacted to this their first time meeting, and assumed it was a weak spot for them. Both mares shuddered at his touch but kept hugging him as if they wanted to prevent him from disappearing again.

“Oh, by the way, you’ll love this Luna, I recently adopted Scootaloo as my daughter back in Ponyville. Which makes you her mother, you too Tia.”

Luna gasped and squealed happily as she bounced.

“Ooooh! This is the most joyous of news, my love! I can not wait to meet our new daughter!” Luna smiled happily as she nuzzled Jason’s face. Jason smiled at them and then looked at Tia.

“Hey Tia, where are those bastards that came to Ponyville looking for me? I wanna make sure those fuckers learn what happens when they mess with my herd and family.” The thought about how they nearly killed Scootaloo and his mares made his blood boil.

“No need, dear, I sent them packing myself. But I do know who it was who hired them,” Celestia said.

“Who was it?”

“A certain pompous, spoiled, ingrate stallion of a nephew of ours,” Celestia said.

After hearing this Jason made a complete 180 turn as he slowly pulled away and clenched his fists.

“Where. Is. He?” Jason asked, Tia and Luna both saw the look of absolute and murderous rage building in his eyes as they nearly took a step back

“H-He’s in the dungeon.” Tia told him.

“I’ll be back,” Jason said as he started marching his way down towards the dungeon.

“Don’t kill him Jason!” Luna called out. “But we give you permission to break his knees!”

“What?! No we don’t!” Celestia yelped.

Jason didn’t respond as he kept on moving. He walked down the stairs into the dungeon and found the cell Blueblood was in. Jason glared daggers at the spoiled little shit. Blueblood was wearing a dirty torn up suit as he sat against a wall. Looking over and going wide eyed as he saw Jason standing in front of his cell.

“W-W-What are you doing here?” Blueblood asked fearfully as he gulped. His body shook in fear, it didn’t help that Jason was dead silent as he took out his knife and used it to pick the lock. Opening the cell doors as he stepped inside “S-Stay back! I-I-I’ll have you killed! You dirty animal!” Blueblood shouted as he crawled as far as he could, which wasn’t far.

Jason put away his knife and cracked his knuckles, not saying a word as he marched towards Blueblood, all the while Blueblood was spouting insults at him. Jason reeled his fist back and punched Blueblood right in the face, knocking him down. Jason got on top of him and proceeded to brutally beat Blueblood relentlessly.

Blood went flying and teeth fell all over the ground, the sounds of whimpers, bones snapping, and the pounding of flesh could be heard throughout the dungeon. After God knows how long Jason stood up, panting as he turned and walked out of the cell. Blood dripped from his hands as they were coated in blood, some even on Jason’s face as he wiped it off. Jason walked by some guards and spoke.

“Get a doctor to make sure he doesn’t die. I’d hurry though, he won’t last very long without one. "Jason walked back to the throne room with a black cloud hovering over his head. What was meant to be a joyous day for him turned sour, no thanks to that entitled prick. During his trek, a certain Captain of the guard caught sight of Jason.

"Hey you! What're you doing in the castle?!" Shining demanded as he walked after Jason but Jason ignored him. "I'm talking to you, jerk!"

Jason wheeled around and held his knife against Shining’s throat. “I was here dispensing justice on an entitled prick that put the lives of ponies, including your sister’s, lives, all after confessing my love to the mares who love me and adopting a filly who looks up to me as her father,” he said in a calm voice before leaning forward. “Now, if you don’t mind, I’m going to head back home so my herd and I can celebrate my daughter’s birthday.” Jason removed the knife before turning around and walking back to the throne room, leaving a confused and frightened captain of the guard behind him.

Jason turned to a maid and asked for the nearest bathroom, the maid hesitantly gave him the directions as Jason headed there now. Entering the bathroom Jason took off his gloves and started washing his face of blood, even trying to wash his gloves a bit.

“Gonna need to clean these.” He muttered. After cleaning himself up he headed back to the throne room, seeing Celestia and Luna still there, “That son of a bitch ain’t gonna try anything for a while.”

“Did you…?” Celestia asked slowly.

“I wanted to, I really fucking did. But no, he ain’t dead. Not unless they didn’t take him to a doctor anyway,” Jason said bitterly. “You two free? I want you both to come and celebrate our new daughter’s birthday. Parents should be there on their kid’s special day after all.” He smiled. Celestia and Luna both smiled happily and eagerly agreed, wanting to spend time with their new daughter.

“Let us be on our way then,” Celestia said as she and Luna held on to Jason and teleported back to Twilight's library. Scootaloo had returned to the library and was in the middle of one of Twilight’s lectures.

“Now Scootaloo, staying active is nice and all, but it’s important that you also expand your knowledge and learn about magic fundamentals,” Twilight instructed as she levitated a stack of books towards her new daughter.

“What's this? Homework on her birthday? I won’t hear of it,” Jason said with a humorous tone. Scootaloo perked up and quickly ran over to Jason.

“Daddy!” Scootaloo jumped into his arms and wrapped her arms around his neck as Jason hugged her tightly.

“Hey, kiddo.” Jason smiled at her. Celestia and Luna both smiled and soon hugged their new daughter. “Say hi to your new moms.” Jason said, Scootaloo gasped and her jaw dropped as she looked at rulers of Equestria.

“I-I…my moms…are the rulers and protectors of Equestria…and my dad is a superhero…Best! Birthday! And day! Ever!” Scootaloo cheered as she hugged her new moms, the two sisters gushed all over their new daughter as they covered her head and face in kisses and hugged her tightly. Jason smiled at them as he was glad to have started a new chapter in his life. To finally move on.

I…I hope you’re watching, mom and dad. And I hope I’m making you proud, Bruce. I wish you all could be here to see this. Jason thought to himself

While Jason was lost in his thoughts, the library door opened, and confetti was blasted into the room, and the rest of the girls walked in to celebrate Scoots’s birthday. Jason laughed softly as Pinkie Pie fired her cannon that put up the decorations and tables, along with food, drinks, games, etc. Jason didn’t bother to question it and just let Pinkie be Pinkie. Some schoolmates from school even came to celebrate Scootaloo’s birthday as she happily showed off her dad and moms. The kids were all in amazement and wonder as they declared that Scootaloo has the coolest family ever. Jason smiled and let Scootaloo drag him around to play games with her like pin the tail on the dragon, apple picking, charades, and many more.

The mares all joined in in spending time with their new daughter, laughing and playing to their heart’s content. Scootaloo had the happiest smile on her face as she played with her new family.

Jason walked over to a table and poured himself some punch as he watched his daughter have the time of her life.

“It’s time for cake, everypony!” Pinkie Pie announced as she then pulled out a large cake and set it down on a table. Jason walked over and pulled out a lighter, lighting the candles as he picked up Scootaloo in his arms as everyone started to sing happy birthday to Scootaloo.

Scootaloo looked around at her new family and let out a few tears, Jason smiled and wiped them away.

“Make a wish, kid.” Jason said as Scootaloo took a deep breath and blew out her candles. Everyone clapped and cheered as they started to give Scootaloo her gifts. She got some new toys, school supplies, and some new clothes.

“Happy birthday, sweetie,” Celestia said as she hugged her new daughter and kissed her head. Giggling as Scootaloo tried to act all tough and get away from all the gross affection as she put it.

Hours passed by and Celestia had started setting the sun while Luna raised the moon. The guests started to leave and the mares all hugged their daughter as they started to leave as well. Avril smiled and held Scootaloo as she started to fall asleep, nuzzling Avril’s soft furry chest as she fell asleep. Celestia and Luna then kissed Jason and hugged Scootaloo one last time before they teleported back to Canterlot.

“Time for bed, honey." Avril smiled at Jason, Twilight blushed a bit and held Jason’s arm.

“Can I…sleep with you?” Twilight asked Jason, he chuckled softly and nodded as they all headed off to bed. Laying down in Twilight’s bed, Avril laid down next to Jason on his right with Scootaloo on her chest, Twilight laying down next to Jason on his left.

“Can I join too?” Spike asked shyly, Twilight smiled and nodded. Spike climbed into bed and snuggled up with Twilight. Soon all of them closed their eyes and fell asleep.

Over by the window, a small floating object, so small that one would think it’s just a bug, was staring in the window of the library. It was some sort of drone of some kind.

Somewhere in Equestria Lex Luthor was staring at the monitors of his drones, all of which were watching the mares and other individuals. Lex smirked as he then held a small black crystal-like key.

“Things are going to get interesting.” Lex chuckled coldly as he grinned.
