Dark Secrets

“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” Candy Corn screamed with a foal coming out of her... Well, you know.

Luckily, Cyburst was there to catch the foal ,who was crying at about 5 bizzilion decibels, before it fell onto the floor. He raised it up to his face with a warm, gentle magic, inspecting it closely.

“It’s a colt!” Cyburst said with glee,

“That’s *Gasp* her *Wheeze* Umbilical cord.” Candy managed to get out.

“It’s a filly!” Cyburst corrected himself, his face a darker shade of red.

“I *Cough* need to sleep...” Candy said as she slid from consciousness.

“Ok. Hey, wait! Too late.” Cyburst said, “Now what am I going to do, I know nothing about foals.”

“...Maybe you should have looked that up before you banged your wife with a birthing intent...” Phoenix thought,

“Oh shush you.” Cyburst thought back angrily,

“...Fine, be that way. I was going to help you, but...” Phoenix thought,

“Okay, I’m sorry. Can you please help me?” Cyburst thought back,

“...Well since you apologized and asked so nicely, yes, yes I will...” Phoenix thought back, “May I?”

“You may.” Cyburst thought back, relinquishing control of his body and giving it to Phoenix. Phoenix, being the first time he’d ever moved the body by himself, stretched a little, then took the foal into the house and found a diaper.

“...Why do you have diapers if you don’t have children?..” Phoenix thought/asked,

“I like being prepared for any situation.” Cyburst thought back,

“...Uh-huh... No matter, just as long as we have them, and a lot of them...” Phoenix thought as he looked around.

After a few minutes, Phoenix had put the diaper on the foal, got her to stop crying, and lull it into a sound sleep. Cyburst was rather dumbfounded with all the experience Phoenix had with foals. While Phoenix started to change places with Cyburst, Candy walked into the room.

“Were you just going to leave me out there?” Candy asked harshly,

“Well, it’s just as safe out there as it is in here. And quiet down she’s sleeping.” Cyburst replied while motioning to the sleeping body inside the random crib Phoenix found in Cyburst’s house.

“Oh, she’s so adorable!” Candy Corn said in a loud whisper as she walked up to the crib,

“She is. Wait, did you think of a name?” Cyburst asked when he caught up with Candy,

“Yes.” Candy Corn replied half-heartedly, distracted by the new family member,

“...Well, what is it?” Cyburst asked,

“Quiet Ocarina.” Candy Corn said quietly,

“What a beautiful name.” Cyburst said.

Candy Corn and Cyburst both looked down at Quiet Ocarina. Her dark blue coat shining in the light. Her eyes the color of the clearest sky of the. Her mane and tail, both the color turquoise and the color of freshly harvested hay. Candy and Cyburst both sharing the silent moment that seemed to last forever. Candy Corn then leaned in to kiss Cyburst, who compiled and let the warmth of his mare comfort him. Candy awkwardly broke away with a quizzing look on her face.

“Why do you have so much foal stuff anyway?” Candy asked,

“What else am I going to spend all my money on?” Cyburst asked with a goofy grin,

“Me.” Candy Corn teased,

“Oh, that reminds me. I have something for her.” Cyburst said, walking out of the room and returning with a small necklace in his mouth.

The necklace itself wasn’t very big. It was obviously made for a foal. But it wasn’t the necklace that was unique. It was the pendant on the necklace that really set it apart. It was a small design that had some parts of Cyburst’s Cutie Mark, but it also had something else. Cyburst levitated the necklace onto Quiet Ocarina’s neck and fastened it.

“That was a gift from my Mother on the day I got my first Cutie Mark.” Cyburst  told Candy Corn, “She didn’t really know what to think when my Cutie Mark changed into what it is now.”

“How long are we going to stay here?” Candy Corn asked,

“Until this war is over.” Cyburst said, looking out the window at the large pillar of smoke that was coming from Ponyville.

“How long will the war go on?” Candy asked,

“That question, nopony can answer.” Cyburst said, closing his eyes and hugging Candy Corn.

A/N Sorry for the short chapter, I've got things to do. I'm mostly posting this for later references in other stories. I belive the correct term for this is a "Filler Chapter."
