A New Family

(Monday; 20th March 2017)

"Heya! My name is Train Coach Wrecker, born on the 05th October 1993 in Stutengart, Germaney. I may be the son of a Changeling, but don't let that scare you. I am both a capable and good-hearted individual of this society."

The yellow mare with a fiery mane who had listened to his brief introduction, took off her sunglasses, placing them on her desk below and giggled. A golden sign on said desk read "Capt. DS Spitfire M. Mitchell".

"That's quite the unique name, kid.", she remarked with an amused grin on her face. Train just smiled it off.

"Yeah, I get that alot. My name isn't without reason either."

"That much I've heard. While checking your background, I happened to discover an old newspaper clipping from '93. "Pegasus Gives Birth on Moving Train". Boy, you sure earned your name."

Train chuckled and nodded.

"Thanks, Captain. Spitfire's nice too. Sounds dangerous."

"So you're a flatterer aswell, I see."

She cleared her throat and got up.

"Now, Changeling Boy, you are one of the hundreds of ponies who apply to us each year. I hope you're aware how privileged you are, to even get the chance to prove yourself to the Wonderbolts, the most pristine and strongest force in all of Equestria. Especially with no prior experience or professional training beforehoof. But I'm a pony that likes to give out chances, because the hidden gems often end up becoming our strongest links. I got the chance to personally supervise your application tests these past few days."

Train started getting kinda anxious, the question if he made it or not killing him inside. He had always been an overthinker.

"You know why only about a dozen of our applicants end up getting accepted, Mr. Wrecker?"

Train stayed silent, thinking about her question thoroughly.

"Attitude. We get alot of hotshots, thinking they're the best thing since Usain Bolting. And there's nothing wrong with that at all. Infact, I think confidence is necessary. But what most of them forget, is that this isn't a solo mission. We are a big family of team players. And what I took away from watching you interact with the environment 'round here not only proved to me that you are an outstanding flyer, but also that you are a very pleasant, helpful and trustworthy pony to be around. The staff, fellow members and even janitors have spoken very highly of you, Wrecker. Now, combining your talent and personality, I would be stupid not to hire you."

Train was absolutely stunned throughout the whole speech, his eyes widening by the second and his smile growing to an unsettling extent.

"Oh..... Holy Mother of Luna..... Ma'am.... Thank you so, so much! I will make it worth your while, I swear!", he thanked, his voice more excited than ever.

"Welcome to the Herd, Changeling Boy. Your outgoing ways will help you out a ton, so keep that going. You're gonna go far, kiddo."

Spitfire saluted proudly, extending her wing. Train shook it with his own wing and saluted back.

"Dismissed! See ya tomorrow morning. And you better be on time!", she shouted.

"Yes, ma'am!"

Train happily flew down to the locker rooms, finally fully realising that this is real life and he had actually made it. He dressed out of his uniform and took his time, since he had the whole locker room to himself. Or so he thought. Just as he started putting his clothes on, he saw somepony stepping out of the shower. A mare clad in only a white towel. Train's heart stopped for a hot second when he caught a glimpse of her beautiful, hot pink eyes and rainbow-haired mane. She turned out to be none other than the mare, the myth, the legend..... Rainbow Dash!

She noticed Train and smiled confidently at him.

"Hey, you're the newbie. Congrats for making it, you are one lucky pony.", she exclaimed.

"Th-Thanks.... I..... It's a dream come true.", he stuttered, barely getting out the words.

"Hey, no need to be so nervous around me. I may be the fastest pony in all of Equestria and a total looker..."

She did a little twirl after that last part, to emphasise her point.

"...but I'm still just a mare, you know."

Train nodded, very enamoured with the mare infront if him. She was way cuter in person than in those magazines.

"It's an absolute honour to be working by your side, Ms. Dash."

"Please, call me anything but "Miss", I'm not that old."

She said with a laugh, as she reached out a wing for him to shake. While doing so, her towel slipped ever so slightly.

Trying not to focus on it too much, he shook her hoof, unknowingly starting a new era in both of their lives.

But that's a story for another day.

IWTCRD (I Want To Cuddle Rainbow Dash)

It's A Changing Life

(Tuesday; 21st March 2017; 4:56 AM)

Train Wrecker had just arrived at the Wonderbolts Academy for his first day at work. And just in time for physical training! Now, looking at the rather geeky Train Wrecker, "brawn" isn't the first word that comes to mind. But looks can be deceiving. Becoming a Wonderbolt wasn't a spontaneous decision for Train. He had exercised a ton before even considering to apply and developed a stable workout routine over the last couple of years.

Upon entering the gym, the first thing he saw was Rainbow Dash, sitting on the bench. She was lifting 500 pounds with her bare wings, small drops of sweat dripping down her cyan coat. She was wearing a light gray sports bra, which was hugging her petite body tightly. Her face lit up as she noticed the stallion from yesterday staring at her.

"Hey, my eyes are up here, big boy.", she put the dumbbell aside and sat upright.

Train's face eyes immediately shot upwards.

"Pardon me! Sweet Celestia, you've got a nice set of muscles!"

Dash just giggled proudly and gave him a flex of her veiny wings.

"You don't become the fastest and best by jacking off all day, y'know? I never waste any time. I'm a splendid pony! You never see my coat dirty."

"You've got a beautiful body, I mean it.", Train let slip.

That comment made Dash smirk even prouder.

"Oh, hush up. You have quite a nice look yourself. I didn't catch your name yesterday, by the way."

"Train..... I'm Train. And.... Thank you. Really, I'm so happy to be here."

"Y'know, we should totally hang out sometime. How about we meet up at break? We can chat more then."

Train smiled from ear to ear, nodding violently.

"Oh, why, of course! I would absolutely love to!"

"Sweet! I'll see ya then!" Dash winked at him and went back to lifting, Train soon following suit.

After physical training, the Wonderbolts went on to flight training with Captain Spitfire. Though she is a very understanding mare underneath her titanium shell, she sure could be a hardass. She'd do anything to motivate her cadets and wouldn't waste any opportunity to teach them a lesson and strengthen their will.

So, naturally, when she noticed Train Wrecker was lost in thought, staring holes in the sky, her Drill Sargent instincts kicked in.

"Changeling Boy! Quit dreaming and concentrate, damn it! Don’t tell me you avoided that coat hanger for 11 whole months just to bucking give up now!", she yelled, catching him completely off guard.

"I am focused, Captain Spitfire, ma'am!", Train replied.

Spitfire smirked, scoffing at him.

"Are ya sure? I wouldn't want you to be all bark no bite."

"I swear, Captain Spitfire, ma'am. I dont disappoint. Not anymore."

"Well, in that case, get your fat flank off the ground and demonstrate!"

Train quickly acted, putting his flank in the air and readying himself to set off into the sky.

"Oh, no, no, no. Not so easy. Up for a challenge?"

Train's ears perked up in intrigue.

"Eversince I heard you were a Changeling, I've been wanting to see you in action. So, how about you show what you got?", she dared, keeping her smug, yet genuinely interested expression.

"I don't discriminate after all. If my own mother was in basic training, I'd smoke her flank too!", she added proudly.

Train's expression changed. It turned quite confident actually.

"You know what, Captain? You're on."

With that, Train took a few steps back and closed his eyes, while everypony else's eyes were on him. He tried his very best to concentrate and channel all his thoughts. He hasn't done this in years, but his father taught him well. He changed into his Changeling form and to the surprise of the others, he didn't look like a regular, Pre-Thoraxian Changeling. He was light blue with orange, non-reflective eyes and a way friendlier appearance than most would think when they hear the word "Changeling".

He leapt forward, and maneuvered in the air, doing various flips, loops and stunts. While Changelings have way smaller and weaker, insect-like wings than Pegasi, he was doing astonishingly well. This was the reason he enrolled. The thrill, the wind in his face, the pressure on his ears. It felt so liberating. That's the philosophy of the Pegasi! His mum had always told him so.

"There you go, that's what I wanted to see, good job, Wreck!" Spitfire praised him, patting him on the back.

"Thank you, Captain Spitfire, ma'am."

"Don’t thank me, thank your mother for not swallowing the pill. Dismissed!"

Rainbow Dash immediately flew over to his side, wrapping a hoof around him.

"Sweet Celestia, good show. I didn't realise Changelings could be such good flyers."

Train used this opportunity to hug her back, running his hooves up and down Dash's soft, snuggly fur.

"Everything I know about flying, I've been taught by my mother. She's to thank for me taking it this far and I couldn't be more thankful for that."

"Aww, that's sweet. Is it common amongst your folk to be good at flying?", Dash asked curiously.

"Oh, no, no. My mother is a Pegasus. My father is the Changeling.", he answered, taking a bite out of his banana and Nutella sandwich.

"Ah, I see.", she nodded, stretching her limbs.

"I'm sure you've got alot of stories to tell, growing up in a mixed-creature household. How'd a Changeling even get with a pony back then? Changelings didn't settle in Equestria until, like, 2015 or so."

Train nodded, appreciating her curiousity.

"I can tell you the story if you're interested. Because it was quite a long way for my father from the Hive to my birth."

Dash smiled politely, her interest piqued.

"Well, it all started in the Autumn of '89. My father is part of the many generations of foals of Queen Chrysalis...... I'm starting to wonder how she didn't wear out after all of those millennia.", he decided not to dwell on that thought and shook his head to get the image out of his head.

Dash started to become more interested as she connected the dots.

"So, basically, you're of royal descent?"

"Ehh.... I guess by blood I am, but Changeling Drones rarely have any high status. He's just one of 50.000."

Dash's eyes nearly popped out their sockets.

"You mean to tell me you've got 50.000 uncles and aunts?!"

Train chuckled, nodding quietly.

"Usually, there are about 50.000 changelings in the Hive at a time, yeah, though that number tends to vary, depending on how busy Chrysalis gets a year.

Well, anyways, to keep it short, let's just say my father isn't afraid to speak his mind. He's not good at holding back at all, not even infront of his own queen. The only problem is, Chrysalis isn't a monarch, she's a dictaror. He was gonna be killed by her right infront of all of his siblings to teach them a lesson in.... *Ahem* "Respect". Luckily, he was a pretty advanced Changeling already and had good reflexes. He simply transformed into a fly and fled the scene, never returning. He fled the country, deeming it unsafe to stay, not only because of Chrysalis, but also because Changelings, like you said, weren't as welcome in Equestria. He knew he wouldn't be able to hide his identity forever and he wasn't too hot on being labelled a terrorist. So, after travelling around alot, he migrated to Germaney. Long story short, he ended up meeting my mother, who saw his true self first. It's a very sweet story in and of itself, but let's not get into that today, before I end up talking my tongue off for six hours."

Rainbow Dash was amazed, not having expected anything quite so intense.

"Huh..... What a story. Who knew there was so much backstory to you? Tell your father that he can be proud of himself, yeah?"

Train giggled and smiled at Dash, perhaps the most genuine so far.

"I will, thank you. I bet they'd never believe I'm friends with an Element of Harmony....... We are friends, right?"

"Of course we are, you dork. I'd be happy to chill more often."

She stood up, turning her head just slightly so their eyes met again.

"So, same time, same place?"; she grinned at him, holding out her wing.

Train gladly shook her wing and nodded.

"Next time you're doing the talking."

"Alright, I can do that. One more question though. Are you.... Comfortable in your skin? Living as a Changeling, I mean, it doesn't sound like a walk in the park.

Train's gaze wandered off once again for a moment, this time into the sky above, before settling for an answer.

"Honestly? I'm not ashamed of who I am in the slightest. I mean, I can become anyone I want, it's surreal! I like being a Changeling and I'm proud to be able to now live here, where my father fled of many decades ago.

"I can respect that. You know, I haven't been the kindest to your kind in the past, but I've since learned how wrong that was. I really adore your confidence. We're no different in that regard."

"Well, what can I say? It's a changing life."

Longer Chapter, yay! Here's some lore for my AU. This chapter is dedicated to Bronycommander, who wished to know more about Train's views on his changeling heritage.

An Evening with Dash

(Friday; 31st March 2017)

A little over a week had passed since Train Wrecker became a cadet at the Wonderbolts Academy. Over the course of this week and a half, he and Rainbow Dash had struck up a friendship, as they'd often spent their breaks together.

On this particular day, they had arranged to meet up at Train's apartment after practice to hang out.

"Do you mind me bringing some Bacardi? You know, make it a fun evening for us." Rainbow Dash suggested, smirking.

"I don't really drink, but I can make an exception for you." Train replied.

"Awesome! You're not gonna regret it, Wrecky!" Rainbow Dash said excitedly.

As Rainbow Dash went home to grab a bottle of Bacardi, Train tried to tidy his apartment before she arrived. He dusted the place off and hastily removed all the clothes laying on the floor.

Not 10 minutes afterwards, Rainbow Dash arrived with the bottle in hoof.

"Let's get this party started!" She shouted, still standing in the doorframe.

Train gave her a welcoming hug to greet her and then motioned for her to come inside.

"Welcome to my crib, Dashie! Admittedly, it's not the prettiest place out there, but I don't think there's a single ugly building in Cloudsdale. I'll show you around!"

He took Rainbow Dash's hoof and lead her inside.

"Alright, let's start with my living room. Nothing too fancy, but it's very comfy. I basically spend half of my day here, watching HoofTube on the TV."

"Wait a sec, you still use VHS, boomer?" Rainbow chuckled a little.

She pointed to a shelf next to the TV with a ton of Thomas the Tank Engine and Disney Movie VHS.

"Oh yeah, those old things. I'm a huge Thomas the Tank Engine Fan. Yes, those exist. I just enjoy collecting the old VHS." Train replied. Its clear he's very passionate about this.

"Huh, that's neat. I grew up with Thomas aswell, actually. I might still have some of my old wooden trains. I can give them to you if I find them. It's clear they'd be in good hooves." Rainbow Dash offered.

Train looked at her excitedly.

"Oh, really? That would be great! I basically collect anything Thomas I can get my hooves on. I even have a Thomas picnic blanket. It's kind of an obsession to be honest."

"Oh, don't worry. That's completely normal. I'm obsessed with the Wonderbolts for example. I've spent way too many bits on old props and merch."

"Oh, just you wait...." Train said, opening the door to another room.

"Rainbow Dash.... Welcome to the Train Room!"

The room behind the door was covered in posters of, mostly British, locomotives and trains. The highlight of the room was an H0 Model Railway Layout. Rainbow Dash carefully got closer and looked at the miniature railway.

"Woah.... Did you build that by yourself?" She asked in amazement.

Train smiled proudly at her excitement.

"Why, yes I did. But my favourite part about this hobby, is that it's never really finished. There's always something to add. I also love customizing models."

He picked out one of his many model locomotives off of one of the shelves.

"This one is called an LNER A1. I painted it to look like Gordon the Big Engine from Thomas the Tank Engine, since it is his basis."

He explained everything in very technical detail. Though Rainbow Dash didn't understand everything, she couldn't help but smile at Train's nerdy behaviour.

"You know, if I've learned anything today..... Then it's that you're a huge fricking nerd." She said giggling, nudging his shoulder.

"But, that's totally fine, don't get me wrong! You wouldn't believe it at first, but I'm a huge egghead. I'm addicted to Daring Do. I bet you know her."

Train's smile widened.

"Know her? Dash, I think you're gonna like this. Follow me."

Rainbow Dash followed him curiously to his bedroom.

"I don't just know Daring Do..... I love her!"

He opened his bedroom door, revealing a bookshelf with all of the Daring Do books. A few Daring Do plushies were sitting on his bed and a proud display of other merch was displayed on another shelf.

Rainbow's eyes widened in shock and amazement.

"Holy bucking Celestia!! I... You.... This is so awesome! Train, I love you even more than before now!"

Train blushed slightly and smiled widely.

Rainbow Dash continued to look around the room, marvelling at the various plushies in particular.

"You know.... I'm friends with A. K. Yearling herself actually and I go to DoerCon every year. This is so special to me." Rainbow Dash told.

As Rainbow Dash looked through the whole room, she opened a closet. Out of the closet fell a Daring Do Dakimakura. Train blushes more than he had ever before.

"Holy... I... I'm not.... I..."

Rainbow Dash put a hoof to his mouth.

"Shhh... It's alright. I have one too." She whispered.

Train looked relieved.

"Well, what would a Daring Do collection be without a daki?" He said, smiling nervously.

Rainbow Dash just rubbed his mane and went over to the bookshelf. There were DVDs located under the bookshelf.

"Wait, you have them on DVD and Blu-Ray?"

"What can I say..... I get way too obsessed with this stuff. I even write FanFiction."

"Oh, you do?" Rainbow's head cocked up.

"Give me the link, I'll give it a read later."

"Oh, sure. You can find it on dofiction.net. My username is Tisalie."

Rainbow Dash's eyes widened.

"Wait.... No way! You're Tisalie?! The HoofTuber who wrote "Daring Do vs the Changeling Queen"?! That's a fandom classic! You're quite more famous than I thought. Your story is so well written! It really touched me when I first read it."

Train Wrecker smiled proudly, blushing a bit.

"Thanks for liking my story. I did take alot of inspiration from me and my father's life. It's amazing to see how successful it got."

"It's truly an honour. I'm best friends with my favourite HoofTuber. And I didn't even notice! Can I be on your channel?!"

Rainbow looked at him with excited eyes.

"Daww, nopony could say no to that face. Besides, you are in the books. And I could use somepony for a reading of the story."

"Oh, you bet I'll be there! How about we do this another time though? Seeing your DVDs, I kinda got in the mood to watch a Daring Do movie." Rainbow Dash pointed to his DVDs.

"Oh, sure! I'd love to! How about.... "Daring Do and the Razor of Dreams"?"

Train held up a DVD. Rainbow gave him a thumbs up..... With hooves.

"Excellent choice! You have good taste, Wrecky."

Train put in the DVD and the two made themselves comfortable in Train's bed.

After half an hour, Rainbow Dash leaned on his shoulder, smiling warmly. Train blushed slightly, happier than he'd ever been.

"This evening is amazing.... And we didn't even need the Bacardi." Rainbow Dash yawned.

"Oh no.... I'm getting sleepy." She chuckled.

They continued watching for about 20 minutes, until Rainbow's eyes drifted close slowly. She fell asleep on Train's shoulder.

Train just smiled softly, wrapping a wing around her. He then turned off the TV and decided to fall asleep right beside her.

Train Wrecker is the nerdiest nerd ever, confirmed.

Mi Casa is Tu Casa

(1st April 2017)

Last night was the best night Train has ever had so far. He'd never slept so well in his life. And all because Rainbow Dash was sleeping at his side. He had dreamed of the two that night. It couldn't be denied now, that he had started to form a little crush on Dash. And sleeping right beside her was the highlight of his stay in Equestria, definitely.

When Train woke up, she was still at his side, sleeping peacefully. She was snoring cutely and quietly. Train couldn't help but run his hoof through her mane.

She eventually woke up with a cute yawn.

"Oh my.... Looks like I actually dozed off. Morning, Wrecky." She said in a soft voice, while smiling at him. Trains heart melted.

"Morning, Dashie. You certainly slept good, didn't you?"

"Yeah, I'd say it was a pretty awesome evening. We should do it again. The Bacardi is waiting for us, after all. So, how did you sleep?"

"Oh, I had fantastic sleep! It was really wonderful. And you're right, this should really become a thing."

Rainbow Dash got up and stretched her wings, yawning again.

"It was way too comfy. I'm too sleepy to function." She said in a sleepy voice.

"You want some coffee? I could definitely need some right now." Train offered.

Rainbow Dash nodded. "Oh, yes, please! I won't be able to fly home if I don't have my coffee."

"Well, I wouldn't have a problem with that, but I'll get you one." Train said, before walking to the kitchen.

He returned a few minutes later with two cups of coffee. Dash instantly took one of the cups and started sipping the coffee.

"Oh, yeah! Thank you!"

Train took a sip of his coffee as well and smiled.

"Happy to help."

The two continued to chat for about an hour, before Dash remembered something.

"Oh, shoot! I nearly forgot! I was going to help Applejack at the farm today! I have to get changed."

"Can I fly you home, maybe?" Train suggested. "I showed your my home, I'd love yo see yours too."

"You know, why not? Having you beside me a little longer never hurts."

Train held the door open for her.

"Ladies first."

"Ah, stop it!" She said giggling.

They leapt into the air and started flying to her house.

"Why do you have to get changed, though? I mean, you're already wearing something. You could just fly to her instantly." Train asked.

"I just want to wear something a little less tight when I'm bucking apples. It feels very uncomfortable and it might even rip when I'm not careful enough. So, yeah, just to be safe."

"Ah, I get it."

Just then, Rainbow Dash stopped at a massive, luxurious cloud-villa. Train was at a loss for words.

"I....I.... You live here?!"

"Sure do! Pretty sweet, amirite?" Rainbow Dash smirked.

"How in Tartarus can you afford that?" Train asked in amazement.

"Elements of Harmony, duh! Being a Wonderbolt only adds to it. I got this baby custom built for me. I call it, The Cloudominium."

Rainbow Dash was very proud of her house and she loved it very dearly. She opened the door and walked inside quickly. While still walking, she undressed and threw her clothes in a corner. Train blushed at seeing her exposed.

Rainbow Dash went up some stairs to her bedroom. Train waited in the entrance hall for her to change. He marveled at the giant place. He fell in love with every single aspect of the mansion. Rainbow Dash soon returned.

"I'm gonna show you around properly when I get the chance too. But, you can always make yourself at home here. Mi Casa is Tu Casa."

"And it's the same vice versa if you ever need me." Train added.

"Now, I have to get to Applejack. Do you mind helping out? She'd certainly appreciate it."

"I always love to help. Yeah, of course. That sounds fun."

"When you have the muscles for it, apple bucking really is fun. You can blow off some steam perfectly while doing so.

The two flew off again, this time flying down to Ponyville. They arrived at the apple orchard of Sweet Apple Acres. Applejack looked relieved when she saw Dash.

"Dash! Ah'm so glad t' see ya! Big Mac is spendin' some time with Sugar Belle and Apple Bloom is sick."

She hugged her best friend, noticing Train standing beside her.

"And it seems like you brought some help alon'."

Rainbow Dash smiled brightly.

"Applejack, this is Train Wrecker. He is the newest addition to the Wonderbolts and my new best friend."

Applejack smiled and extended a hoof.

"Howdy, Train! Now, that's quite the name ya got there, partner." Applejack chuckled.

Train shook her hoof and giggled.

"Yeah, I here that alot. But don't you worry, I won't wreck your trees."

"Well, Ah sure do hope so. Is this yer first time buckin' a tree?"

Train smiled. "I've never bucked anything in my life. Though, that doesn't mean I don't know how."

"Well, it's time to lose yer treeginity then! And don't underestimate the art of tree buckin'. It's not as easy as Ah make it look. Ya might hurt yerself if ya don't do it right."

"Don't worry, AJ. I know my stuff." Train said with a slight smirk on his face.

"Is that so? Ah like yer enthusiasm. If yer so confident, why don't you start by demonstratin'?"

Train smirked confidently. He nodded and went up to a tree. He took a deep breath, lifted his hindlegs and bucked the tree as hard as he could. A few apples ended up falling on his head. Applejack and Rainbow Dash fell to the ground laughing.

After calming herself down, she walked up to Train.

"The buck was amazin', mah friend. Ya should probably rethink yer positionin' though." She said, still smiling brightly.

"Yeah, your probably right. But thanks, anyways. So, do you think I can be of help?" Train asked hopefully.

"Any help is appreciated, sugarcube. Of course ya can help!"

So, the trio started bucking the orchards trees, harvesting alot of apples. They managed to nearly harvest the whole east-side of the orchard, with only one tree remaining.

"We've done great today, guys! Let's do the last one and call it quits fer today, So, who wants to do the honors?" Applejack asked proudly.

Rainbow Dash dashed to the last tree and gracefully bucked it. Her hindlegs delicately hitting the trunk of the tree with enough force to rid it of the entirety of its fruit.

Train watched Dash bucking the tree, focusing solely on her and her body. Applejack smirked.

"There's somethin' else ya wanna buck right now, don'tcha, lover boy?"

Train blushed and nodded quietly.

"Don't worry, Ah won't say a word." AJ said with a smile.

Rainbow Dash returned and the three exchanged a brohoof.

"Now, who wants some cider? It's on the house!" AJ smiled.

The three of them drank Cider together, told each other some stories and spent the rest of the day together, earning Train a new friend.

Following A Trail

(3rd April 2017)

Monday, 6:33 in the morning. The cadets at the Wonderbolts Academy just finished their physical training and were on their way to the changing rooms. Train Wrecker got his uniform and was just about to put it on, when a letter fell out of his locker. The envelope was of a pinkish-white colour and had a big heart on it. Train couldn't believe what he was seeing. He had never gotten a love letter before. And, although he was really happy about it, he started to panic when he realised what this meant.

He excused himself to the bathroom, locked himself in one of the stalls and opened up the letter nervously.

On one hoof, he felt really charmed that somepony would actually fall for him. On the other hoof though, his huge crush on Rainbow Dash would mean he'd have to reject somepony. And he knew all too well how much that hurts.

The letter read:

Dear Train Wrecker,

You're a real blessing to the Wonderbolts and Equestria. You've been nothing but kind to anypony you encountered and you truly reiterated the family aspect of the Wonderbolts.

It's no wonder that somepony would eventually fall for you and your gorgeous orange eyes. Orange is the color of optimism and you portray that perfectly. Everytime I hear you speak with that cute, British accent, my heart just explodes into a million pieces. I've never seen a performance quite like yours in all my years of existence.

I've never been good with love and I'm not expecting to start anything, but I just really wanted you to know what I feel.

I'm probably just a huge, lovedrunk fool, but I hope I managed to make you smile.

Best wishes,

- Anon A. Mous

Train read the letter in shock, tears forming in his eyes. That letter was so sweet and the writing style reminded him of love letters he'd written as a teen. He had a panic attack, not wanting to break anypony's heart, but also wanting to thank the mare who wrote this.

After several minutes, he remembered he had training to attend to and pocketed the letter. He showed up 16 minutes late for practice.

"Changeling Boy!" Hollered Captain Spitfire. "What in the name of Luna and Celestia took you so long!? Were you enjoying yourself in the bathroom?!"

"Wha.... Oh, heavens, no! I was just.... It's personal." Train said after his train of thought was derailed.

"That's no excuse, Wrecker! Since you seem to like spending time in he bathroom, you should have no problem with cleaning the toilets until I can prepare a sandwich on it! Do I make myself clear?!" She shouted angrily.

Train hung his head and sighed in defeat.

"Yes, Captain Spitfire, ma'am." He replied in an unmotivated tone.

Practice was Hell for him that day. Rainbow Dash grew quite worried. After practice, she confronted him about it.

"Hey, Wrecky. What happened back there? What's going on?"

Her worrying made Train feel slightly better, as he smiled lightly.

"Oh, don't worry about it. It's not that big of a deal. It is something I have to decide for myself though."

"You sure? You know you can always come to me when something's bothering you, right?"

"Yes, I am aware and it means the world to me. Thank you for your eagerness to help. I guarantee you though, this is something for me to fix."

"Well.... If you say so." She said reluctantly. "Come to me if you change your mind."

"I will.... Now, I should probably get going. The toilets ain't gonna clean themselves."

Rainbow Dash nodded understandably, leaving a little concerned still.

For the next 2 hours, Train cleaned all the toilets until they were sparkling clean. But he didn't really care. Not even that could distract him from the declaration of love he'd received.

He went to his locker afterwards to change, whe he found a small paper bag in his locker. A note was posted to the bag, saying:

I got you some fruit. It's the least you deserve and I hope it can satisfy your hunger for now.

The words "Ropav Liart" were written on the back of the bag.

"What the.... Is that some sort of riddle?" Train whispered to himself.

He took a bite of the apple, since he was starving. He then started to change. He was just done removing his uniform, when he was startled by a loud noise. He quickly turned around, to see Vapor Trail, a greenish mare, who usually stands next to him in practice. She had backed into one of the lockers.

"Oh, shoot! Silly me, always walking backwards. I didn't mean to scare you." She apologized, a little flustered.

"Oh, it's alright. Did you hurt yourself?" Train asked her with a smile on his face.

"I... Uh... No, no. I'm fine. Thanks. You're way too kind."

"Like I always say, I love to help."

She smiled and nodded.

"Alright, I have to go now. KThanksBye!" She left rather abruptly.

"Huh.... What a cutie." He said to himself.

Then, a thought hit him.

"Backwards.... Back....wards..." He gasped in realisation.

He grabbed the bag and looked at words on the back and started to read them backwards.

"Trail.... Va....por..... Holy Celestia.... VAPOR TRAIL, WAIT!!!" He called.

Vapor Trail turned around and stopped in her tracks. She looked at him nervously.

"Train.... Is... Is everything alright?"

Train handed her the letter. She blushed heavily.

"Oh my...."

He put a hood to her mouth.

"Please... How do I word this.... Vapor Trail.... You are such a sweet and nice mare. I've rarely heard words that are this cute and I want to thank you wholeheartedly. It shows me I'm not a monster undeserving of love. And.... I just wish I wouldn't have to say no. Because... I really wouldn't.... If it weren't for....."

He took a deep breath and just admitted it outloud to her.

"I have a huge crush on Rainbow Dash! It's.... It's really strong and I only have my eyes on her. I.... I just.... I'm so sorry..."

Vapor Trail listened to him intently. She teared up a bit, but then smiled.

"Oh, Train.... I... That's so wonderful! I'm sure you'd make for a great couple. And you definitely have a chance with her."

"You.... Really don't have to say that. I know how much it hurts."

"No, really.... It.... Might hurt terribly now, but I'm sure it will get better someday. It's fine.... And I'm glad you don't force yourself to anything."

Train looked at her with a loving expression.

"Listen.... As weird as it sounds, don't force yourself to stop loving me. I support you. It's not a big deal, I think it's quite charming. And... I allow you to fantasise however you want. Let your imagination run wild. If it's what helps you, then by all means, go for it!"

Vapor Trail looked really surprised and then hugged him very tightly.

"I.... Thank you.... May Celestia bless you! You're the best stallion ever! Rainbow Dash is so lucky!"

Suddenly, Train leaned in and gave Vapor Trail a long, loving kiss on the lips. Vapor's wings popped right up and she lost herself in that moment. She looked at him with teary eyes, blushing intensely.

Train just smiled back at her and said.

"Good luck... And thanks for loving me."

Train left the locker rooms, while Vapor stayed behind, smiling brightly at what just happened.

"How.... Could he have made a rejection so.... sweet?"

Spaghettinoodles

(4th April 2017)

After everything that happened yesterday, Train and Vapor Trail were very optimistic. Though Train didn't return Vapor's feelings, her words touched him deeply and he wanted to pursue a friendship with her. So, after practice, he went up to her and hugged her.

"Heya, Vape. You were really smooth today." He praised her.

"Oh, thank you. You did great too. The usual." She said with a light blush.

"Oh, you flatterer. So, I know this may be random, but could we go and eat something together, maybe get to know each other? I'm still terribly sorry I had to reject you, but I'd really love to become your friend. Is that something you'd like?" Train smiled at her sweetly.

"I could never be sad or disappointed at you after everything you did yesterday. You really are a sweetheart, you know? Please, let me be your friend. I'll be sure to give you the kindness you deserve."

Vapor Trail looked at him with huge, cute eyes. Train smiled softly, as flashbacks hit him.

"You really are like me when it comes to crushes." He giggled. "And I love it. Anypony would love to be your friend, and I would too."

"There, that's exactly what I mean! You always say the nicest things. Sure, practice does really make you hungry."

"Awesome, I know this really great Italailian down in Canterlot. They serve the best Spaghettinoodles there."

He licked his lips.

"I'm a sucker for these Spaghettinoodles."

Vapor Trail chuckled and nodded happily.

"Sounds great to me. It's been a while since I've been in a restaurant."

"That's settled then. I'll show you the way."

"Yeah, lead me on." She said, smirking.

Train flew her down to a restaurant called "Ponilipo". It wasn't the biggest place, but it still looked nice.

"Ciao, Federico! You got some Spaghettinoodles for me?" Train asked with a friendly laugh and a smile.

"Ah, Treno! I always have-a spaghetti for you."

Behind the counter was a green unicorn with a black mane and tail and a typical Itailian mustache, speaking in a thick Itailian accent. He noticed Vapor trailing behind Train.

"Oh, who is-a this fine mare with you, Treno? You found amore?" He said while giving an eyebrow flash.

"Oh, no, no. She is a friend from work." Train replied.

"I see... I see. So, I guess the order is-a for the both of you?"

"Yup." Train and Vapor said in unison.

"Alright, take a seat. We'll make it a priority order." And with that, Federico zoomed into the kitchen.

Train and Vapor sat down at a nearby table. Train sighed happily.

"Ah, I love that guy."

"You seem to know him pretty well."

"Ah yeah, I come here quite often. You see, back when I was young, my mother would always make these delicious Spaghettinoodles. They were heavenly! On my first day in Equestria, I was starving and looked for someplace to eat, when I saw good ol' Federico on the street. He came up to me, told me I look hungry and offered me a meal. His business is struggling at the moment, so I make sure to come here every week to eat lunch or dinner."

"That's very generous of you. And this food sure does look yummy."

"Oh, believe me, Itaily has some of the best food there is. It's one of my favourite countries."

Vapor smiled at Train's enthusiasm.

"So then, tell me, what do you do in your spare time? What are your hobbies, except flying of course?" Train asked curiously.

Vapor's face lit up. "Oh, I'm glad you asked! I'm a really passionate singer. You'd have to ask the neighbours if I'm a good one or not, but I really love singing. Especially Countess Coloratura. She's such a huge inspiration for me."

"Oh, Celestia, same here! I've been singing my heart out since I was a teen. And you have magnificent taste. I've been to most of her concerts. Oh, how her songs have helped me in difficult times."

"Seems like we've got something in common. Favourite song?" Vapor asked, already guessing his answer.

"The Magic Inside!" They both said in unison and then laughed.

"That performance was magical! I was at that concert that day." Train told her, smiling at the memory.

"I was too!" Vapor said excitedly. "I've never seen such an emotional performance in my life."

Just then, Federico appeared, handing them 2 plates of Spaghettinoodles.

"Here-a you go! One for Treno and one for the bellisima mare."

"Thanks alot, Rico. Here's your tip."

Train gave him 20 bits.

"Grazie."

"Always a pleasure."

"The "fed" in Federico isn't without meaning afterall." He winked and took the bits, smiling.

Train immediately started gulping down his Spaghettinoodles.

"Mmh.... Ah, yes! I've been dying for this!" Train made noises of pleasure while eating. Vapor couldn't help but giggle.

"Ah, yeah, I wanted to ask you something. Where did your name come from? How did your parents come up with it?"

Train smiled brightly.

"Boy, you're in for a story. So, the TL:DR of it, is that my mother gave birth to me on a moving train. Luckily for us, a doctor was on the train, that helped my mother with the birth. That's where the "train" part of my name comes from. The "wrecker" part... Well, the driver breaked so hard that the train broke down. It's funny really."

"Wow.... I certainly didn't expect that. That's so cool! It's a miracle you came out unscathed."

"That's what the doctors said aswell. And, well, from that day onwards, I developed a love for the railway. After getting my first model railway when I was 6, I even got my cutie mark."

He pointed to his cutie mark, a green tank engine.

"So, you're fascinated with trains? Do you have, like, a full-fledged model railroad?"

"Oh, I certainly do. And I have upwards of 40 models, some of them custom painted. It's sort of an obsession, honestly."

"I admire how much passion and talent you have. I definitely have to see that model railroad for myself someday."

"I'll be sure to invite you soon."

"Oh, yeah, that reminds me..... Is it true that Rainbow Dash and you had a sleepover recently? Did she really sleep in your bed?" She chuckled and smirked.

"Oh.... Yeah, that was the best day ever. We talked about Daring Do, watched a movie and then she fell asleep on my shoulder. My heart melted into a milkshake, just thinking about it make some so happy."

Vapor chuckled. "You know, you'd be a sweet couple, I'm sure. Just, please, keep your hopes up for me, okay?" She said with a loving, sweet and caring smile.

Train smiled back at her.

"I'll wait a little longer.... But the moment will come. And you'll be the first to know."

"That's the spirit! I love your optimism"

The two finished their Spaghettinoodles, paid and got outside the restaurant. They looked at each other, smiling.

"Nice day for it, in'it?" Train said.

"Yes, definitely. We should do it again." Vapor replied.

"Agreed."

Train hugged her one last time.

"See ya tomorrow, then." Vapor said happily.

"I'm looking forward to it."

They parted ways and headed back home, smiling at the nice day they had.

Interviewing A. K. Yearling - 10,000 Sub Special

(10th April 2017)

"Alright, Dashie. Starting in 3, 2, 1..... Action!

Benvenuti, everycreature! I'm your host, Tisalie...."

"And I'm best pony, Rainbow Dash!"

Train was sitting infront of a camera in his living room. They were filming a HoofTube video. Rainbow Dash was standing behind the camera.

"Today is a day of a few special occasions. "Daring Do vs. the Changeling Queen" turned 9 years old recently and my channel surpassed 10,000 subscribers! Guys, you truly are crazy! I'm so incredibly thankful for all the support I've gotten over all these years. I've met so many amazing ponies and had so many possibilities that wouldn't have been possible otherwise. So, I thought I'd give back to you guys. Yes, I didn't lie to you guys. With me.... In my room..."

Train stuttered a little.

"Pardon, I still can't believe this is true.... Buy with me today, is the myth, the legend, the mare.... Give it up for A. K. Yearling!"

An applause sound effect was added, while the camera panned to A. K. Yearling. She smiled at the camera and waved.

"Evening, Tissie. It's an honor." She greeted.

"Oh, I am the one who's honoured here. Yes, you're seeing that right. The Tisalie HoofTube Channel will be one of the first channels to interview A. K. Yearling herself." Train said excitedly.

"Let's not waste any time, shall we? So, I'll ask the first question. Ms. Yearling, after 10 years of writing, have you ever gotten tired of it?"

"Heavens, no! I've never ever gotten sick of writing Daring Do. It hasn't entered seasonal rot, as I got a constant flood of ideas and stories that are left to tell. I've pulled alot of all-nighters. I ensure you, this series isn't going anywhere."

"We're all really relieved to hear that. Overcoming writer's block and burnout isn't easy, but you've always prevailed."

Ms. Yearling smiled. "Well, this is my passion afterall. You can't give up hope so easily. I'll keep going as long as I possibly can, I promise that."

"Having passion for your work is very important, I know. So, when you are writing, do you try to use your ideas only or do you try to keep fans in mind?"

"I always try to keep my fans in mind and I love to put in little nods, but I have a duty to the story and myself to stay true to my artistic vision and only use what I believe is necessary. If I simply fill it with fanservice, it will lose substance and the plot and characters will suffer."

"That is a very good approach and I respect it alot. I've done a plethora of videos, listing the fandom references and while making these, I realised how much care you put into making fans smile, which is really sweet to think about."

"Well, what would I have without the fans? You always have to remember that the fans gave brought you where you are. So, why not give back to them every once in a while?"

"While on the topic of care, how important is keeping continuity for you?"

"Oh, very! Keeping continuity is critical for any good saga. You don't want to contradict what you wrote previously or forget important details, or you'll mess up the whole story. It can also make it more fun for the reader if you keep little details consistent across the books, instead of changing things on a whim."

"You know, maybe it's my OCD, but I get really annoyed at redcons I always have to make up a logical explanation in my mind to satisfy me. That's one of the reasons why I love Daring Do so much. It's continuity is consistent and very well done. Now, with books as well done as these, it's no wonder they make so much money and it's no secret either. So, what's the most money you've ever spent on your writing career?"

"Let's see... there's all the tickets and lodging, I did have to bribe a few guards to let me explore some sites, and at one point I got conned by a swindler into buying a supposedly ancient but worthless gemstone. If all that adds up, it must have been at least a couple thousand bits."

"So, what did you do with your first advantage then?"

"It was the most amazing feeling. I ran out to the nearest bakery and bought like 10 pies. I wanted to savor the moment by stuffing myself with my favorite food. Then I bought some new clothes. I was so tired of wearing nothing but the same old jacket and boots. Finally, I put my money in a bank account and started saving for future expeditions."

"The reason why the books are so loved, are without a doubt the action and characters. Do you base your characters on real ponies often?"

"Well, I definitely get some inspiration from friends and acquaintances. Rainbow Dash is an obvious example, but I've got a little bit of myself in Daring Do as well." She winked at Rainbow Dash and chuckled.

"Do you have many unfinished or scrapped books and is there any possibility of these ideas being released?"

"Oh, all the time. I usually discard the bad ones and they end up in the trash, along with the discarded pages from drafts and revisions. Not to mention the abandoned notes and outlines. It's hard to keep all my ideas straight sometimes. Maybe I should just have an idea book so they don't get lost."

"That is a great idea. Maybe we could sit down again sometime and go through them. I'd be very interested."

"Well, sure, why not? I really love your enthusiasm."

"Well, that happens when you are as big a nerd as me. And with all these idea, comes great research. How long does the research for a book take you?"

"I do a lot of research on the places and cultures I'll be representing so I can capture the essence of it and paint a vivid picture. It can be days, even a week sometimes. It's worth it to get the setting right though. It's what takes a story and turns it into an adventure! And it paid out very well in the grand scheme of things."

"These next few questions will be more about the writing process. Do you view writing as a spiritual practice?"

"Of course. It's an escape to distant places and imaginary worlds. It's a way of sharing your imagination and insights with others. And it's a way of expressing yourself that transcends language. I believe that's why people who love reading are such creative souls and love writing as well."

"How many hours a day do you even spend on writing?"

"I'd say on average, when I have a deadline coming up, I dedicate about four to five hours a day to writing. On weekends, I give myself permission to take a break, but I also will push myself to write a little longer if the story's really flowing and I'm feeling the pressure of meeting those deadlines. A true artist needs a strict schedule to get their work finished."

"How do you come up with character names?"

"I like to pick names that are fitting with their personalities, or give them significance to their species. This is especially important since I often have to come up with a lot of names very quickly. For side characters, I even use name generators sometimes. It's amazing how many times that's saved me in a jam and given me inspiration to flesh out the rest of their character."

"Most of the time, my character's names are references to something or somepony. Now, a question I can relate to, do you Google yourself?"

"All the time! I love to see what people are saying about me online, especially since my fans seem to be really creative and talented. The pictures and art of me, the fanfics they write, the videos, and even the cosplays they make. I just think it's incredible what they come up with, and it always inspires me to try even harder for them."

"Ah, yeah. This fandom is just so talented and I'm so proud to be apart of it. I'm planning on cosplaying as Caballeron at the next DoerCon."

"I'm actually really looking forward to that. I'll be sure to show up."

"Caballeron is a really enjoyable character. Do you plan on fleshing him out more and telling his backstory?"

"Oh, most definitely. He's a fascinating character with a lot of layers to him. I can promise you'll see more of Caballeron in the future, as well as more of his backstory. I think readers will find it pretty interesting and insightful into why he is who he is."

"That's fantastic news. Your family must be really proud of all you accomplished. Do they support your writing career?"

"Of course! My parents are very proud of the success that I've achieved, and it's all because of the work I've put into my passion for writing. They know that I love making stories, and they're happy for me that I have the opportunity to make a living doing what I love."

"I'm really happy for you and your family. And I hope your career will continue to thrive for many years to come. Now, last question for today, something that many people are interested in. You are very good at keeping your personal details private and don't give out much. So, is A. K. Yearling a pen name or is Yearling your actual surname?"

"That's a good question, but no, A. K. Yearling is my actual birth name. I won't reveal my first names, but they are legit."

"That's something I was always interested in. Thanks for telling us. And thank you a whole lot for taking this interview. This has been interesting, inspiring and a very cool experience. You are a real good example to all those aspiring writers out there."

"Aww, thank you. I'm so hyped to have actually met you and talked to you. I ca see you're a rea fan and friend. My door's always open for you."

They rise up from their chairs and hug each other. The hug lasts for 20 seconds, before Train turns to the camera again.

"So, that's it. Thank you for all your supports, I'm serious. This has been a wonderful ride and it's sure to continue. I'll continue this channel as long as Daring Do continues.

Arrivederci, I love you guys.

T out!!!"

Best Friends Until the End of Time

(11th April 2017)

It was 5:00 in the evening on a normal Tuesday. Train was relaxing in his bed, watching his favourite TV-Show, Bronclyn Nine-Nine.

"This is the life." He whispered in a satisfied tone.

Just then, Train heard a loud bump from outside of his apartment. Worried, he rushed to the hallway of his apartment, yo find a gray pegasus mailmare laying on the floor, picking up the letters that had fallen on the ground.

"Luna, are you alright, Ms.?" He asked her worriedly.

The mare turned her head to face Train and smiled brightly. She had big, golden derp-eyes and her smile was enough to make anypony's heart melt.

"Oh, don't worry about me. My vision isn't the best." She assured with a slight lisp.

"You're the new Wonderbolt. I'm so honored to meet you, I'm Ditzy Doo, but most ponies call me Derpy."

"I'm Train Wrecker. Looks like we'll be seeing each other more often. Can you please be careful with my parcels though? I ordered alot of models for my model railway recently and I wouldn't want them to break."

She chuckled. "You talk funny, like the Doctor. Don't worry, I don't get assigned to the fragile mail. I'm kind of a klutz." She said cutely.

"Oh, don't worry. Your cuteness makes up for it."

Derpy blushed slightly. "Oh, you flatter me. Here's your letter."

She handed him a letter from her saddlebag.

"See ya!" She waved while flying off, crashing into a wall on her way out.

Train smiled after her and opened the letter curiously, as there was no address on it.

Inside was a small piece of paper that read:

Meet me at Casey Pones for a surprise. 18:00 pm

"Ooh, Casey Pones'."

Casey Pones was a newly opened restaurant in Downtown Canterlot. It used model trains as waitresses and was really popular. Train smiled at the thought of going there and nodded.

An hour went by quickly and Train arrived at the restaurant on time. The mare at the counter noticed him.

"You're Train Wrecker, is that right?" She asked him.

"Precisely, and on time like the German Railways could only dream of being." He answered.

The mare chuckled slightly and pointed to a table in the back of the restaurant.

"There's your table, Sir. Have fun!" She said happily, as she went back to her post.

Train walked to the table in the back, where a hooded mare was sitting.

"Finally I can see you again, Tiara. It's been too long." The mare said with a Germane accent.

Train's eyes widened as the mare tpok off her hood, to reveal herself.

"Sarah!!"

He ran up to his childhood friend and instantly tackled her into a huge hug. They both chuckled and smiled warmly at each other.

"How in Tartarus did you get here?! Oh, I'm so glad to see you!"

"Well, I saw this restaurant in the news somewhere and I had to think of you. I really missed you, Tiara. I just had to come visit you."

Train's smile grew wider by the second and his excitement didn't leave him.

"Oh, Celestia, we have so much to catch up on. I heard you moved out recently."

"Oh, yeah, I finally did it. It was very nerve-racking, but it paid out in the end. I feel so free and at peace." Sarah told him.

"That's wonderful. I know exactly what you mean. It's a pretty big switch though."

"Well, no shit, you moved to Equestria! This place is awesome! Did that Wonderbol thing work out?"

Train chuckled.

"Oh, yes, it is. And, my Wonderbolt audition worked swimmingly. I instantly got accepted and I made some verg good friends."

"What about that whole "Rainbow Dash is your best friend"-thing? Did you replace me?" She said with slight envy in her voice.

"What? No, I could never replace you! You're my sister, Sweets. No, I..... Dash is different."

Train smiled with a slight blush.

"Oh, I know that face! Tiara, are you in love?" Sarah asked with big eyes.

Train blushed a little more and grinned.

"Maybe... I..... Yeah, you got me there."

"Oh, I see. Hey, I was just teasing you. Just, make sure you don't loose time with me, okay?"

"I will always have time for you, Sarah. I love you more than anypony else."

Sarah smiled genuinely at that.

"I really missed those little comments of yours."

Their food arrived on a G Scale Bachmare Train.

"I ordered some fries and schnitzel to bring some of home to you." Sarah smiled.

"Oh, I didn't have schnitzel in so long!"

As they started eating, Sarah had a thought.

"Hey, Tiara, do you still have that collection of my stuff?"

Train smiled while thinking of his large collection of items from her.

"Oh, you bet. All still in great condition."

"Are you still interested in expanding it?" She said with a smirk.

"Of course I am!" Train replied excitedly.

"Well, in that case, I have something for ya."

She pulled out something from her backpack.

"Here's some used clothing. I'd suggest you wash it though."

Train smiled and took it.

"Oh, this is great, thank you. It's nice we're keeping this weird thing going."

"I love it myself."

They eat their food and laugh alot.

"Hey, do you wanna stay the night over? I'd love to have you around." Train suggested after they finished.

"I'm glad you asked, I'd really love that."

After they paid, Train picked Sarah up, put her on his back and started flying to his place.

"Hold on tight."

Sarah chuckled, enjoying the wind and marveling at the sight of Cloudsdale.

"Woah.... This is beautiful, Tiara!"

"I know, right! It's one of the prettiest cities in all of Equestria."

You're really lucky, you know that?"

"With a friend like you, I sure am lucky."

"Oh, stop it! You're too cute!"

They went inside and sat down on Train's couch. Sarah took a look around the apartment.

"You want some cider?" Train offered.

"Yeah, let's get drunk!" She chuckled.

Train poured her a glass of cider.

"Now, careful there. This is still my place and I'd prefer it if you didn't mess around."

"Don't worry, I'm just kiddin'. Wanna watch Fack Ju Goethe?"

Train smiled.

"Always! Let's go in my room, it's comfier there."

The two went to Train's room, got comfy in his bed and started watching the movie. They laughed alot and had some great conversations after the movie ended. At around midnight, they decided to call it a day.

Sarah cuddled up to Train.

"Do you mind if we sleep like this?" She asked cutely.

"Are you kidding? This is great."

After cuddling for a few minutes, Sarah yawned.

"Sweet Dreams, Tiara."

"G'Night, Princesa."

They smiled at each other before closing their eyes. Sarah started snoring after a few minutes, while Train was still awake.

He opened his eyes and looked at her for a second, sleeping peacefully. He smiled warmly, kissed her mane and eventually fell asleep beside her.

Author's Note

This chapter is dedicated to my best friend, honorary sister, lifesaver and most important person in my life, Sarah. I love you <3

And no, I'm not too stupid to write "Brooklyn Nine-Nine (aka. Best Show Ever) right. Bronclyn Nine-Nine is just a horse pun of my all-time favourite sitcom.

Bachmare is a pony pun version of Bachmann.

Casey Pones is an obvious reference to the hero that was Casey Jones.

Safe and Sound

(12th April 2017)

Train woke up with a yawn in the morning, Sarah still sleeping beside him. He got up quietly and wrote her a note.

I left for work. Thanks for the evening, Princesa. I hope you stay a bit.

He smiled one more time at her, before flying off.

Train was in a very good mood that day, striking up conversation with Dash and Vapor Trail and having some good conversations with them.

"Now, tell me that Germanes suck at small talk again." He said confidently. He didn't quite know what it was, but today was extra cheery for him. An outsider could've thought he was on an ADHD trip.

"Okay, Wrecky, spill it! What's happened? You're so.... Happy today, even for your standards." Rainbow asked with a chuckle.

"Oh, you know, it's just one of those days today, Dashie. That happens every once in a while."

"Well, I'm glad to hear that. I hope that energy stays with you for my big show later today."

"Oh, tell me about it. You haven't told me about any big show."

Rainbow Dash grew more excited.

"Ah, it's nothin' much. I'll just revive the SONIC RAINBOOM!!"

"Uhm.... Beg Pardon, what's a Sonic Rainboom? Is that some sort of maneuver?"

"Wait, you don't know the Sonic Rainboom? For real? Where'd you grow up? I earned my Cutie Mark by doing one."

"Okay, now you've got me interested. Pray tell, what exactly is that?"

"You were half right about it being a maneuver. But it's more than that. To reach a Sonic Rainboom, you have to literally break the sound barrier. Once you've done that, it creates a shockwave with a rainbow wake trailing behind it. It's just the coolest thing!"

Train couldn't believe what he was hearing.

"You.... No way.... You broke the sound barrier?! I knew you are fast, but.... Really?!"

Rainbow chuckled and smirked.

"760 Miles per hour, to be exact. That's also my top speed. My body just kinda works different it seems."

"Did I ever tell you how awesome you are, Dash? I'll have to see that for myself."

"You'll soon be able to. At 4 pm in the old Flight School playground."

"You bet I'll be there. I'm already hyped."

"You better be! It's gonna be totally awesome! If you'll excuse me, I'll practice now. See ya!"

She flew off at the speed of light (not literally though).

Train looked after her, before heading home to find Sarah still sitting in his kitchen, sipping a cup of mint tea.

"Hey, you're still here!" Train said surprised.

"Well, you did ask me to stay, didn't you? How was work?"

"Oh, it was great! I was just in the perfect mood the whole day through. And Rainbow Dash is gonna do an extra special maneuver of hers later today. Plus, I slept perfectly thanks to you." He gushed, like he was a colt talking about his crush.

She smiled softly and hugged him for half a minute.

"Same here." She whispered in his ear.

After they pulled back from the hug, Train grabbed a cookie and munched on it.

"You want to come to Dashie's big show?" Train offered.

"Sure, why not? And who knows, maybe you'll actually court her." She said with a smirk.

Train just shrugged it off and rolled his eyes.

"Yeah, right. Like that's ever gonna happen. Ah well, there are still over 2 hours left 'til the big show."

"Fack Ju Goethe 2?"

"You read my mind, Princesa."

Train and Sarah watched the movie, ate a little snack and arrived on time at 3:53 am. A little crowd had formed at the Flight School, including the Mane 6. Applejack instantly recognised Train and called him to them.

"Howdy, Train! Nice ta see ya. I've got ta introduce ya to mah friends."

He went over to them and bowed when he saw Princess Twilight Sparkle, the newest crowned princess of Equestria.

"Princess, Elements, heya, nice to meet you."

Twilight chuckled, her purple coat sparkling in the sun.

"Now, you don't have to bow. Nice to meet you, Train. I've heard of your feats as a flyer and I'm personally very interested in your story. Would you care to meet me someday and tell me your story?"

Train was pleasantly surprised by that.

"Oh, why, sure. Sounds nice. Has Dashie told you about me?"

"Oh, alot!" Applejack answered.

"She always tells us how nice and skilled you are." Fluttershy whispered.

"You could say.... She really likes ya." Applejack nudged his shoulders with a smirk.

"Really? That's.... So sweet."

"Why, Darling, you've got quite the fancy accent. Where are you from?" A white unicorn with a British accent similar to Train's asked him curiously. Her name was Rarity, the Element of Generosity.

"Oh, I'm actually a Germane. My accent is fake if you will. I just love the UK and it's the preferred way to speak Ponish for me."

"Germaney?! That's quite far out, Darling. I respect you deeply for mastering that accent then. Me personally, I am from Leeds, a town in Yorkshire."

"Yorkshire, huh? That's awesome. We'll have to continue this talk soon."

"Indeed, Darling. Let's meet up for a cuppa."

"Oh, yes please!"

"Fillies and Gentlecolts, may I have your attention please?"

Rainbow Dash's voice hollered through the playground.

"You've all come here to see me revive my famous Sonic Rainboom."

The crowd erupted into cheer. Rainbow Dash bowed with a confident smile.

"Thank you! Thank you all for coming. I surely won't disappoint. Now..... Watch in awe!!"

Rainbow took off at phenomenal speed, only getting faster as she went. All that could be seen was a rainbow blurr. The crowd cheered her on, amazed by her speed.

"Isn't she just the most talented mare you've ever seen?" Train gushed.

Sarah just rolled her eyes, smiling at her best friend.

Everything went swimmingly and she got increasingly faster. But then there was trouble.

"Huh..... Get out of.....!!!!"

At a staggering speed of 540 Miles Per Hour, Rainbow Dash collided with a bird in mid-air. The force of the collision knocked her out immediately. The crowd watched in horror, as Rainbow Dash plummeted down.

"DASH!!!!" Train could barely look. It was like his worst nightmare.

In that moment, Train's instincts kicked in, as he leapt forward.

"Train, what are you doing?!" Sarah yelled, but he didn't hear her.

All he was focused on, was saving Dash now. The images in his head worsened. Images of the death of the pony he loved.

"No....."

He realised he wasn't fast enough and it was only a matter of time before she would hit the ground.

"NO!!!!!"

His eyes lit up green, as the adrenaline overtook him. He picked up the pace, a green aura overtaking him as he got closer to Dash.

He went down so fast, that he managedto break the sound barrier, which he didn't even think was possible for him.

"Hold on.... Please...."

He desperately grabbed her tail, pulling himself closer to her. He then got a proper hold of her as he tried his very best to brake.

Dash regained consciousness soon after. After she realized what's happening, she quickly braked with all of her might aswell, panicking.

"Train!? How did you...."

She was interrupted by Train pressing his lips on hers. She blushed extremely, overwhelmed by everything that's happening. She closed her eyes, kissing him back, very passionately.

Despite them making out, they managed to land on the ground safe and sound. After they landed, both fell to the ground in exhaustion. They burst out into tears, happy to see each other alive.

Train took the last of his energy and rushed ontop of Rainbow, hugging her.

Rainbow then smiled at him, blushing.

"I..... Love you too, Train..... I love you too..."

A fresh set of tears overtook Train, this time happy tears. Rainbow Dash pulled him in for another kissing session.

It wasn't long, until an ambulance arrived for the both of them. The whole way to the checkup, they were holding their each others hoof.

"I'm so glad to still have you around. I've adored you from the second I met you."

"I've never met somepony as sweet as you, Train..... I swear.... I've never been interested in colts.... But you might've changed that."

Train just smiled and kissed her on the cheek.

The two of them escaped with minor injuries and a warmer heart.

Love Me Like You Do

(12th April 2017; 06:04 PM)

After Train Wrecker and Rainbow Dash were released from the hospital, Dash took Train home with her.

"So..... You've really had a crush on me for 3 weeks?" Dash asked.

"Yup.... Sure do. And honestly, can you blame me? You know, I wasn't interested in starting a relationship either. But all of a sudden.... I met you in that locker room."

They were both visibly still shaken from what happened earlier.

"Well.... I have to admit something. For a few days now, I've been having these dreams. These dreams where we were a couple and kissed each other, similarly to what we did earlier." Rainbow Dash explained.

Train wasn't expecting that.

"For real? You... Like me too?"

"I wasn't lying, Wrecky. You are really important to me. And.. Well, I'm sure Luna wasn't just playing around."

"Ahem.... Rainbow Sonic Dash....."

"What, where'd you get my middle name?"

"Records, Dash.... Anyway, Dashie, I know it hasn't been long, yet we still had a lot of fun with each other and after what happened today, I realized that it could always be too late. And, I feel it and you feel it, I don't see what's stopping us. So....Would you like to try it out and.... Become my marefriend?"

Rainbow Dash smiled softly and kissed him again.

"How's that for an answer?" She asked in a seductive tone.

Train blushed slightly and nodded.

"Today's been an exhausting day.... How about we lay down a little.... Maybe cuddle?"

"Oh, come here you."

She tackled him onto the bed, laughing and wrapped her wings around him. Train soon did the same.

"I love these veins on your wings. You're so... Muscular." Rainbow Dash admired.

"Well, I am a Wonderbolt after all. That's basically requirement. Besides, you are possibly even more muscular than me."

Rainbow blushed and giggled.

"Oh, you're making me blush."

She pressed her body on him, hugging him tight.

"This could sound weird, but I'm glad that Rainboom failed." She whispered softly.

"I know what you mean. This is magical."

They started making out again, having fully lost themselves in the moment.

"I'm quite literally tasting the rainbow right now. And it tastes fantastic." Train chuckled.

Rainbow laughed with a huge smirk on her face.

"You don't taste so bad yourself."

They pulled away after a minute, smiling at each other. Dash then yawned.

"Holy Luna... I'm so tired. Would you please stay with me tonight? I want to sleep with you by my side."

"I'm glad you asked, because you wouldn't have gotten rid of me either way."

They shared one final kiss before saying "Good Night" and dozing off in each others embrace.

(13th April 2017; 09:21 AM)

Train and Rainbow were awoken by a ring on the doorbell.

"Morning, Wrecky." Rainbow Dash whispered, her voice sounding scratchier than usual.

"G'Day, Dashie." Train whispered back, giving her a kiss on the cheek.

"Could you please answer the door? I think I'll have to change." Rainbow asked sweetly.

"Sure, love."

Train got up, stretched his wings and opened the door to find a gellow mare with a fluffy pink mane sitting infront of it. She was a little surprised to see Train, but then smiled knowingly.

"Oh, uhm, hey there. Is Dash awake?" She asked quietly.

"Heya! Yeah she is, she's just changing real quick. You were Fluttershy, correct?"

She nodded.

"I see. Did you.... Have good sleep?"

Train smiled fondly. "Oh, definitely. It was awesome. We escaped this whole thing nearly unscathed."

Rainbow dashed downstairs to the door with a huge smile on her face.

"Flutters!"

She ran up to her and hugged her.

"I'm so glad you're okay. And I see that you had some company." Fluttershy gestured over to Train.

"Oh, yeah. Should we tell her?" Dash whispered.

"Go ahead, love."

She smiled confidently and turned to Fluttershy again.

"Flutters... Meet Train Wrecker, my.... Coltfriend."

Fluttershy's face lit up.

"I knew it! Congrats, Dash! I'm so happy for you. It's crazy how much time has passed. Now, we're all starting love lives and it's so beautiful to see"

"Yeah, pretty weird, huh? It feels like last week that we fought Nightmare Moon and now 6 and a half years have passed."

"Well, that's time for you. Oh, and by the way, don't feel bad for failing that Sonic Rainboom. No matter what, you will always be my champion. You got us all our Cutie Marks indirectly and inspired me to become a more confident pony. You rock."

Dash was very touched by her best friends' comment. She squeezed her in a tight hug, smiling ever so softly.

"I don't deserve you, Fluttershy. You always know what to say.... You're a miracle."

Fluttershy was exploding with happiness.

"I'm just doing my job as a friend."

"Do you want to come in for a tea?" Rainbow Dash offered with a huge, genuine smile on her face.

"Oh, sorry, Discord and I are meeting soon. I was just here to check on you. Besides..." She chuckled cutely.

"I think you need some time with him. It's good for you, I can tell."

Rainbow smirked at Train.

"You know, maybe you're right." She said teasingly.

"Thanks for your visit, Shy. I'm glad to have friends like you, I really do."

"Oh, I feel exactly the same. Now, I won't disturb you any longer. I can see you are burning to have some alone time with him." She said, unusually teasing for her.

Dash and Train blushed a little. They waved goodbye to Fluttershy and looked at each other.

"You know, I'm feeling a little cold right now. Would you mind..... Warming me up?" She leaned in closer, speaking in a seductive tone.

"Of course, precious. It's still early, we have all day."

He picked her up and carried her back to her bed. Once they arrived, he snuggled up to her.

"By the way, I got a message from Spitfire. She told us we could stay home today and "recover"."

Rainbow's smile turned into a full on smirk.

"Yeah.... You know, I could need some help with that aswell. Could you..... Make me a little relaxed."

Train smirked back and pulled the covers off of him.

"Why, sure, Darling. Let's make you feel better."

I'd Take A Bullet For You

(13th April 2017; 03:14 PM)

Rainbow Dash and Train Wrecker were taking a walk in the park, walking side by side. Rainbow Dash rested her head on Train's shoulder, smiling brightly and lovingly at each other. The ponies passing by all looked at them with huge smiles on their faces, some even congratulating the fresh couple. The wind was blowing gently in their faces, as they continued on with their journey.

Train was wearing a Haywaiian Lei, which Dash thought was quite funny.

"Look at you. We've only been together for a day and you already got-a-leid." She chuckled.

Train grinned. "Oh, don't you worry..... That will come at its time."

They decided to take a small break at a park bench. So, they sat down, Rainbow's head still on Train's shoulder.

Rainbow Dash looked up at him, like she never looked at anyone before.

"I love you, Champ." She whispered.

Train didn't waste a second and kissed her passionately.

"Taste the Rainbow, Darling."

Rainbow chuckled and smirked, before giving him a taste of her tongue.

Train blushed as heavily as never before, before reciprocating the action. They were now full on making out in public.

"You taste like candy, sweetie." Train responded, breathing heavily.

"Oh, you're not so bad yourself." Rainbow chuckled seductively.

Unbeknownst to them, a white unicorn stallion with a red mane and a firearm as a cutie mark, was watching them through some nearby bushes.

"Ugh, go get a room, lovebirds." They whispered in annoyance, rolling their eyes.

As the two of them pulled back, they noticed Rarity, watching them from behind. Train and Rainbow blushed, a little embarrassed, while Rarity just covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Well, hello there, Darlings. Having a good evening?" She smirked.

"Oh, it's perfect." Train said, resting his head on Rainbow Dash's.

Rarity looked at them with big eyes.

"You are so cute, Darlings! You're a perfect fit."

"Ah, you're too kind. How come a hot mare like *yourself* is still single?" Rainbow Dash asked her.

"Oh, Darling, I have more important things to do than find a partner. I'm not seeking anypony right now." She answered with a half-confident smile.

"Well, if you say so."

"I said the same thing back then." Train smiled. "Who knows, there might be a colt waiting for you in the future."

"S-Sure.... A colt.... Yeah, yeah..." Rarity plastered on her smile, seemingly wanting to switch topic.

And a distraction she would receive.

A loud shot could be heard and a bullet hole was in the bench Train and Rainbow were sitting on. Rarity shrieked in horror and fainted, falling to the ground.

"What the buck?!" Rainbow Dash jumped up. Train cuddled up to Rainbow Dash quickly, covering her protectively. He was at a loss for words, as he was freaking out on the inside.

"Damn it! How'd I miss!?" The pony in the bushes cursed.

Train's expression slowly turned from scared to angry. He spread out his wings and got up from the bench. He slowly got closer to the bush.

"God, what an idiot."

The pony in the bushes fired at Train, nearly shooting him. Train however, made a magic Changeling Shield appear around him, which redirected the bullet. The pony dodged the bullet flying back, their eyes widening.

"N-No.... It can't..... Be..."

Train got up to them and stared them down intimidatingly.

"Who on Celestia's green earth do you think you are?!"

They stared at him, shocked.

"Answer me, motherbucker!!!" Train got more aggressive now.

Rainbow Dash was shocked, as she's never seen Train like that. She was slightly scared of him even.

Without saying anything, the pony pointed the gun at Dash.

"Another word and I'll blast her away, Changeling!" He threatened.

Train's eyes basically caught fire with anger. He spread his wings once again and said.

"Oh, no you won't!"

He then transformed into his changeling form and hit the pony in the face with his hard shell. The pony fell behind for a moment, which gave Train enough time to grab the gun.

"This is your last warning...."

The pony didn't want to give up and shot up, jumping Train. But before they could get back to gun, Train pulled the trigger and shot them in the leg.

"Nopony fucks with Dash!"

He turned to Dash, who was staring at him in shock. The next thing he knew, he fainted, like Rarity and fell to the ground right before Dash.

(13th April 2017; 04:07 PM)

Train slowly opened his eyes. He was wrapped up in a blanket in Rainbow Dash's bed.

"What in the...."

Before he could finish his sentence, Rainbow Dash zipped to him and kissed him hardly.

"I'm so glad you're okay! I nearly lost you!"

She hugged him with tears of gratitude in her eyes.

"I was just protecting my Darling.... But, shooting that guy.... It was a bit much.... I actually shot somepony..."

Train was regretful and scared of himself.

"It was self defence, Wrecky. I know you wouldn't do that if you didn't have to. And you sounded pretty badass while doing so."

He smiled lightheartedly and pulled Rainbow Dash into bed, snuggling up to her.

"Did they capture that idiot?" He asked her.

"Sadly they didn't. That coward just disappeared into thin air."

"Let's pray then that he won't return."

"Don't worry.... We're save for now."

Rainbow Dash sat down on Train's lap. Train smirked.

"Of course. I'm with you afterall. And you're keeping me so.... Warm."

"Oh, you know you do the same thing, Wrecky." She chuckled cutely.

"Now.... Let's keep you warm then. You deserve some relaxation, my big, strong hero."

"You know I'd always take a bullet for you, love."

Rainbow Dash smirked sweetly.

"Oh, I can already see the bullet coming."

The pacing may not be the best. This could nearly be classified as a short.

The Meeting

Author's Note

Whoooo boy! Yeah, I'm back. Sorry if there was anyone who had actually waited for this series to continue. If so, I am very grateful for all of you.

I let personal stuff get in the way, but I'll try not to make breaks be this long ever again.

Thank you for reading, love y'all <3

The Meeting

(15th April 2017)

Train Wrecker and the freshly turned 26 year old Rainbow Dash walked down the streets of Ponyville. To their side, Soarin' & Fleetfoot, a light blue stallion and greenish-blue mare respectively, were walking closely beside them, with Vapor Trail in the back and Captain Spitfire leading them. They were on alert the whole time, hoping to find the shooter from the day before yesterday.

"You really didn't have to cancel training. I have a changeling by my side." Rainbow Dash told Captain Spitfire, flattered from how protective her Wonderbolt Family was being over her.

"I'm just following my code of honor. I've sworn myself to always help ponies who are in need. And you two, you are top priority." Spitfire assured them, smiling at the two, before continuing to walk forward.

Train and Dash smiled back gratefully. Train kissed Dash on her cheek, like he did constantly over the last 2 days. He was overly afraid of losing her, so he showed her his affection more than he already did.

They eventually stopped at the Castle of Friendship, where Princess Twilight Sparkle was already waiting.

"Rainbow, Train, there you are. Come in." She whispered. Train and Dash saluted to the Wonderbolts one last time, before entering the castle.

They were lead into the throne room, where the Mane 6 were all sitting around a giant table, on top of which a holographic map of the entirety of Equestria was placed.

Train looked at the giant map in front of him in awe.

"Holy Luna! That is sooooo cool!!"

In a swift motion, he rushed over to the table to take a closer look.

"That's my apartment!"

He said excitedly, pointing to a small Cloud House.

Twilight couldn't help but chuckle at his enthusiasm.

"Ahem. Thank you for coming to this meeting, Train. Im glad you could make it."

He nodded at Twilight, bowed & sat down.

"Oh, don't do that. We're basically family now."

Applejack smiled dreamily.

"Yup. And you've got quite the catch."

"Aww, hush up!"

Rainbow said, blushing at her best friends' compliment.

Twilight cleared her throat again and opened the meeting.

"Now, let's get straight to the point. Train, Dash & Rarity. We need to know everything about what transpired on the 13th. I sincerely hope we can find a solution to prevent situations like that from ever happening again.

Rarity was the first to speak up.

"Well, I passed out rather instantly, Darlings, so I didn't see alot. I just remember that he was wearing a horribly ugly jacket."

She made a disgusted face.

Twilight was taking notes, nodding along.

"Can you describe how the pony looks? Have you ever seen him before."

All three of them shook their heads.

"I got a very good view of that..... "person". He was a white stallion with a firey red mane and tail. His disgusting eyes were blood red aswell." Train was recounting this with anger and disgust in his voice.

Dash stroked his mane, while giving him a kiss on the cheek. She thought it was extremely cute how worked up he got because her life was at risk. She wouldn't want to be with any other stallion in the world.

Twilight looked on at him in understanding.

"I understand that you are probably very anxious and emotional right now, but I'll ask you to stay calm and objective here, okay?"

Train sighed and looked at his hooves to calm himself.

"I'm sorry. Anyways, we were just sitting around in the park. We did nothing to provoke such a reaction, we just talked privately."

"How could anyone hate us so much that they'd want to see us dead?!" Rainbow Dash chimed in.

"We're the Elements of Harmony! We've only ever done good!"

"Sorry ta say, but this is Amareica. Any idiot can do a damn gun licence and shoot ya up. Equestria sadly ain't no exception. Ah've seen it before." Applejack added, a slight bit of sadness in her voice.

Rarity hugged Applejack tightly, their faces touching.

Twilight tried to get the mood back up, smiling lightly.

"Princess Celestia has already been informed and the case is being looked into by the Cloudsdale Police Department. I recommend you go to a composite artist, so that we can get a better image of who to look out for. We may not know what the motive was, but as your Princess and friend, I can assure you two, that your safety is of the utmost importance. And though you should always watch out and be alert, don't live in fear. We're gonna find a way, as we always do."

The Mane 6, who've been mostly quiet this whole time + Train all came together in a huge group hug.

"I love you, guys." Twilight whispered.

"We love you too." The others whispered in unison.

After they all pulled away, Rainbow looked up at Train, smiling.

"You know, I'm not too worried anymore."

She snuggled up to him.

"I've got a Changeling on my side afterall. And a sweet one at that."

Train just smiled warmly, blushing a little.

"Hey, on the topic of police, does anyone wanna watch some Bronclyn Nine-Nine? I swear, you're gonna love it!" He suggested, trying to lighten the mood.

They all smiled and nodded along.

"Oooh, I love that show! Especially Boyle! He's sooooo funny!" Pinkie giggled.

"Uhm..... It's not gonna be scary, right?" Fluttershy whispered.

"Oh, no, don't worry. It's really funny. You're gonna love it." Train reassured her.

The Mane 6 walked into the TV room, like the discussion they just had never happened.

Dash and Train snuggled in together on the couch, forgetting all their worries.

Birth of a Train Wreck

(Tuesday; 05th October 1993; 06:57 AM)

The date was the 05th October 1993 in the busy city of Stutengart, Germaney. A young, purple pegasus mare with a matching, long-haired navy blue mane, Selene Nyx, and her husband, a changeling called Coxa, were on their way to the hospital, as Selene's pregnancy was coming to an end. They had to take a train there, because Selene couldn't fly with her pregnant belly. She was suffering from intense prodromal labor pains. Coxa ran a hoof through her mane gently to calm her down.

"There, there... We're almost there, just hold on a few minutes longer." he whispered calmly.

"To be totally honest.... Ahh!!!", she was cut off by a powerful kick from the foal.

".....I'm starting to think we won't make it. It's getting worse by the second!"

To the horror of the young couple and the passengers and crew on board, Selene's water broke right then and there.

"No..... No, no, no, why now?!" Coxa screamed out, starting to panic. This was his first child and he had no experience whatsoever on how to act in such a stressful situation like this.

"Cox! Cox, I need a doctor! Quick!", Selene exclaimed.

"Where in Tartarus am I supposed to get a doctor from?!"

Some passengers started to get up to aid her, while others chatted amongst themselves. It was an absolute mess.

Suddenly, a light-brown earth pony wearing a green bow tie pushed himself through the crowd.

"E'rypony, stay back! Out o' th' wey!", the stallion shouted in a Trottish accent, as he turned to Selene and Coxa.

"Hiya, Tis yer lucky day, a'm th' Doctor."

"Huh..... Oh lord.... Thank Celestia.... You are our savior!", Coxa's hope restored.

"Well, this isnae mah specialty, but a've dine it afore. No time te waste! Allons-y!"

While all of this was going on, Selene was panting and moaning, screaming every once in a while. The pain stang like a shot in the chest.

"A'ight, Miss....."

"Nyx..... Selene Nyx..."

"Miss Nyx, yi''ll need tae breathe. Ah know, no shit, but please juist bare wi' me 'ere. In..... And out. Slowly 'n' calmly.... You, Mister Changelin', pull t' emergency brakes!"

Coxa rushed to the coaches emergency brakes, slamming them as hard as he could.

Selene, who had been put into the best position possible, was pushing hardly, her piercing screams shattering the eardrums of the passengers nearby.

"Awright, awright, ye'r daein' good. Juist keep pushing, this may tak' a while."

"It's tearing me apart! Holy Buck!!"

It did indeed take a while, the pushing wearing her out more than anything in her entire 23 years of existence. The sweat was dripping down her face in buckets and she felt like throwing up from the massive amounts of blood. Coxa stayed by her side through the whole thing, trying his very best to calm her down.

Finally, at 08:05 AM, the colt was finally freed, head-first. A sky blue Pegasus colt, with a short, orange mane and tail. The Doctor wrapped the crying colt in his scarf and smiled with relief.

"Well done, mah wee pony. Ye managed tae gie birth tae a healthy colt oan a movin` train. Now, that's something tae brag about."

He placed the foal into his mother's arm carefully. His parent's faces were full of wonder and tears.

"Such a sweet baby boy...."

She kissed his little head, before fainting and blacking out.

The next thing she saw, was the hospital ceiling. She looked around the clean, white room and saw her newborn son in a crib nearby.

"Oh, thank Thorax, you're awake." Coxa rushed to her side and kissed her forehead.

"Cox..... Cox, where's that Doctor?", she asked, looking around.

"I have no idea. He brought you here with me and just kinda disappeared."

"Oh, damn it. I didn't even get the chance to say thank you."

"I think it's thanks enough that he got our little train wrecker onto Celestia's green earth." Coxa returned the colt into her arms, still wrapped in the Doctor's scarf. He was smiling sweetly, laughing. That made Selene giggle herself.

"Train Wrecker, you say?", she asked, stroking his soft, orange mane.

"Oh, with how badly it rocked, I wouldn't be surprised if the little fella made the brakes of that train wear out completely.", Coxa said semi-proudly.

"Ah, they're never as worn out as me. I thought I was gonna die."

She went silent for a moment, before smiling down at her colt and nodding.

"Train Wrecker..... That's gonna be your name."

Author's Note

So, this is my first ever attempt at really writing for the Brony fandom. What did you think? I know it still sucks a little, but I'm getting there.

FunFact: Stutengart is a clear reference to Stuttgart, the city where I was born.
