Ponies save a heart
Hopes and dreams
Previous ChapterNext ChapterRainbow Dash woke up to find the big guy laying next to her with a large smile on his face. She paused for a moment to feel her belly and sighed. It was still early to tell if she was pregnant. But if her past few dreams were anything to go off of. She wasn't against the idea. Considering Luna knew where they were and the fact that she hadn't told anypony yet, she still had time to find out and to make sure she was having his kid.
Blinking in realization of that last thought, Rainbow looked to the mouth of the cave then back at her caretaker. It surprised her that this was the longest she spent grounded and yet she couldn't be happier or think of anything she wanted more than to be with him.
Taking a deep breath she repositioned himself so that he was able to wrap his foreleg around her. As he did, she gave him a gentle kiss on the neck before nuzzling into his embrace as she drifted off to sleep trying not to excite either of them in the process. Not that she would have minded. But she didn't want to wake him… just yet.
In the dream scape
Luna took a deep breath and sighed as she stepped into the hall of dreams having finished yet another nightmare. Blinking she noticed a ping to her magic that called her to a particular door. Rushing over she fought the urge to smile in excitement at the chance to help him and see how he felt about current events. And more importantly how he felt about Rainbow Dash.
Sliding to a stop at his door, she took a moment to calm herself before entering the dream.
Once inside her eyes widened at the sight of the Canterlot gardens. And more importantly, the group of ponies standing ready to attack someone. It didn't take much effort for her to figure out who it was. Nore was it hard to find him standing on the opposite side of the garden as the detective calmly approached him as Rainbow was being pulled away by her friends.
No words had to be said. The look of fear of the detective on his face and heartbreak of Rainbow leaving him was all the information she needed. And far more than she wanted to see.
"Enough!" She shouted as a burst of magic extended from her and vaporizing the area and leaving them in the garden. Taking a deep breath she approached him and gave him a calm smile. "Fear not. I shall not let your fears come true. And knowing her friends. They won't either."
He blinked at her in shock and confusion. "This is a dream. You can speak if that is what you truly want." She sighed and hung her head. "I am sorry for not coming sooner. I may be able to enter any dream. But for reasons beyond my knowledge, I have had trouble entering yours till now."
He hung his head for a moment before getting up and bowing to her. "Thank you."
"I am happy to hear you say that. I must ask. Is there anything else you're afraid of?"
He nodded and looked to the side. "Rainbow… I… can we?..."
Luna smiled at how embarrassed he was about asking. It was rather sweet for someone so big and strong to be so timid. "Calm yourself." She said softly. "Fear not. You may ask me anything you wish. And if you fear that the two of you won't be allowed to be wed. Then know that I have seen stranger couples."
Taking a deep breath he sighed. "Ok… do… do you think there's a chance we'd have a kid?"
Luna blinked in shock at his question. Rubbing her chin she thought about it. "Well… you'd probably be the first couple I've seen pull it off." She commented before quickly adding. "But I don't see why you two wouldn't be able to. Are you scared of being a father? Or do you think she wouldn't want to stay with you if-"
"No… I'm worried that… if she wanted one. We wouldn't be able to have one. Because I'm so different." He admitted.
Luna thought for a moment and smiled as an idea came to her mind. "I shall look into this matter. In the meantime. Don't give up hope. And don't give up on her." With that said, Luna left the dream and woke in her room before levitating up a patch of white fur. "I shall see what the chances are for you to be parents."
Twilight and Mod burst into the throne room and slid to a stop at the sight of a sad Pinkie and a pacing Celestia. "Oh no… what's wrong?" Twilight asked in fear.
"Fluttershy has been taken." Pinkie cried.
As soon as Mod turned to leave, Twilight caught her with her magic and levitated her over to Pinkie. "Before we go looking for her. We should focus on calming down."
Mod nodded and hugged her sister as the princess looked over at Twilight. "We can really use some good news."
"We have a lead." Twilight announced. "With your permission. I'd like to lead a team to get them and the other ponies back."
"No." Celestia replied, stomping her hoof. "Whoever is doing this is clearly trying to get their hoofs on all of you. We can not risk you getting caught as well."
"With all do respect princess. But with a good plan and some protective spells-"
"They will likely have considered your magical abilities. And would have a way to counter your defenses." Celestia countered. "No Twilight. You and Pinkie will not be going."
"Then who?"
"We shall send a combination of our guards to ensure we catch the criminal." Luna announced as she came into the room.
"Luna?" Twilight asked before noticing the white fur and blue feather in her magic. "I'm grateful for the help of your guard. But… what are you doing?"
Luna thought for a moment before smiling. "I was hoping you can help me do a little test on this patch of fur and feather."
"Isn't that… Rainbow's feather?" Celestia asked.
"It is sister." Luna replied softly. "I wanted to see if there were any connections between a pegasus and the owner of the fur. This would require a lot of tests."
Twilight's eyes lit up at the idea as Luna and Celestia shared a knowing smile. "Perhaps you will be able to find out, Twilight." Celestia suggested. Twilight nodded eagerly and took the feather and fur before bouncing off. "I take it there is a reason for the research."
Luna glanced at the two earth ponies as they gave a silent Pinkie Promise. Nodding she turned to Celestia and smiled happily. "Do you still have those dresses Rarity made for us?"
Author's Note
He speaks. And it seems that Luna is getting a chance to play matchmaker. Lol but hay. Somepony other than Cadence needed a chance. And this does open the door for a lot of questions. As always, feel free to share your thoughts.
