The Birth of a New Friendship.by ROFLBED0ChaptersChapter 1Chapter 2Chapter 3Chapter 4Chapter 5Chapter 6Chapter 7Chapter 8Chapter 9Chapter 10Chapter 1Twilight and Cadence walked along side Dazzle as the three mares made their way through Canterlot. "I'm so excited; in a few months, I'm going to be a big sister," Twilight said as she smiled a cheeky smile. "Indeed, it is very exciting," Cadence said as walked beside them. "How many more months until you're expected to deliver?" Twilight asked her mother. "Well, when I found out I was pregnant, the doctor said I looked as if I was three or four months along. So sometime within the next six or seven months," Dazzle said. Twilight's expression of joy turned a little worrisome. "Um mom?" "Yes dear?" Twilight thought a little before speaking again. "Do the doctors think that the foal is going to be born without any complications?" "Well they did express some concern; most mares don't get pregnant at my age," Twilight and Cadence looked worried. "Is there a chance that something could happen during the birthing?" Cadence asked with a worried look on her face. "Well there is always the risk but I'm healthy and there's a good chance that everything should go smoothly," Dazzle said trying to reassure her daughter and daughter-in-law. Twilight and Cadence smiled a bit but still had their worries. "Now can we please go get something to eat? If you girls are forgetting, I am feeding for two here,” Twilight and Cadence quickly rejoined her. On the other side of town, Shining sat with his father and a group his friends at a bar. They were all celebrating Dazzle's pregnancy with a few drinks. "So you're are like 50 and still get action?" one of Shining's friends said. "You know it," Orion said taking a drink of his cider. Another one of Shining's friends spoke. "Orion, I don't care how old you are, you still kick ass." "I still tap a little ass too," he said laughing. Shining’s friends laughed and cheered as well. The only one who didn't say a thing was Shining who just there and fiddled with his drink. After another hour, all of Shining's friends had left the bar. "Well that sure was fun," Orion said getting up from the table and walking toward the door. "Dad we need to talk," Shining said in a stern voice. “What about son?" Orion asked. "This whole foal business, I really think this was a bad idea." "And why is that," Orion said back. "Well, for one thing, why did you wait this long to have another child?" Shining demanded. “It's just how it worked out. I love your mother very much and it just happened," Orion responded, looking back at the floor. "What about when the foal is my age, will you even still be around?" Shining asked. "Believe me son, I've already thought that. That's the first thing I thought of when I found out your mother was pregnant,” Orion replied. "In any sense, this whole thing was very irresponsible," Shining snapped. Orion looked up from the floor. “Okay, I'm going to stop you right there. You have no right to call us irresponsible," Orion said loudly. Shining held his ground. "I'm just thinking about the well-being of the foal," Shining said. "No you are thinking about what everyone else is going to say about our family," Orion said. Shining was about to speak but stopped. His dad was right. "Well I just hope you're not getting in over your heads," Shining said looking down. "Don't worry son, your mother and I are more than capable of doing this," Orion gently said. He wrapped a hoof around his son’s neck. "Come on Shining, let's go home. After their lunch, the three mares continued walking through the town. Dazzle had caught something in the corner of her eye. A shop along the road had a crib in the window. It was made of elegant mahogany and had beautiful engraving on it. "Oh I wanna look at that," Dazzle said as she turned and walked toward the shop. Twilight and Cadence quickly followed her. Dazzle walked inside and found the cradle. "This is the cradle." she said as she got into her bit bag. "Oh no you don't," Twilight said as she got into her bit bag. "This is on us." Cadence said as she too got into her bag. A sales mare saw the group gathered around the crib and asked, "Hello ladies. Do you need any help?" “Yes. We would like to buy this crib,” Cadence answered. "Okay, that will be three-hundred bits." She suddenly stopped speaking. "Oh my gosh you're Princess Cadence and that’s a crib." She put the two together and ecstatically said, "Oh my gosh, I'm selling a crib for the royal foal!" "Not exactly," Cadence replied with a giggle. Dazzle stepped forward and sheepishly said, "Actually I'm the one having the foal." "Really? You’re so old though," the sales mare said bewildered. Dazzle suddenly bared her teeth and moved toward the sales mare. "Just sell us the crib," Twilight said, holding her mother back. After a long day with their family, it was time for Twilight, Shining and Cadence to head back to their own homes. "Bye mom, bye dad, we'll see you again this weekend,” Shining called as he shut the door. As soon as she heard the door shut, Dazzle walked over and kissed Orion. "I take that your day was good," Orion said. "Yup I already got the foal a crib," Dazzle said as she levitated it into the house. "Oh wow," Orion remarked a little surprised. "What did you do today?" Dazzle asked, lying down next to her husband. "Well I went and did a little celebrating with Shining." "Oh and you didn't want to celebrate with me?" Dazzle remarked. "Well you can't really drink much can you?" Orion said. "Not that kind of celebrating," Dazzle slyly replied as she pushed Orion onto his back and kissed him. The two continued their make-out session as the door opened and their son walked in. "Sorry, Cadence forgot her bit bag," Shining said. He then looked up and saw what his parents were doing. "Oh my god, why are you doing that when I'm right here?" Shining screamed as he covered his eyes. "It can't be any worse than when I walked in on you and Cadence," Orion said as he gestured with his hoof. Shining blushed and grabbed Cadence's bit bag. "Things are gonna get a little wild Shine, so you might wanna get outta here." Orion casually remarked as he smacked Dazzle on her flank. "Oh mommy likey." Dazzle cooed. Shining turned around and hurried out the door. Chapter 2It had been several weeks since Twilight had seen her parents. So when the opportunity to see them arose, Twilight had jumped at the chance. Twilight walked up to the door of her parents’ home and knocked on the door. She heard the sound of hoofsteps from behind the door and waited. The door slowly opened and Twilight backed up slightly. In her face was the slightly expanded belly of Dazzle. “Oh my goodness!” Twilight gasped as she looked at her mom’s belly. “Twilight, I’m so glad you’re here,” Dazzle said as she tried to hug Twilight past her large belly. “Oh wow, you sure seemed to, um….” Twilight stuttered, trying to find the right words. “Gotten fat, yes, I know,” Dazzle finished with a laugh. “How are you feeling?” Twilight asked her mother as she led her back into the house. “I’m fine Twilight,” Dazzle said as she sat back on the couch. "Where's dad?" Twilight asked. "Oh he went into town to get a few things. Would you like something to eat?” Dazzle asked her daughter. Twilight suddenly jumped up. “I’ll get it; you just say sitting.” Dazzle glared at Twilight. “Twilight, I’m pregnant, not crippled,” Dazzle snapped as she got up and walked into the kitchen. Twilight winced with every step that Dazzle took. “Mom, you’re carrying my LBBFF or LSBFF, you really need to be more careful.” "Twilight, I assure you that I can take care of myself," Dazzle replied as she reared up on her hind legs and reached for a box of cereal. As she stepped down, she slipped and fell backwards. "Agh!" Dazzle screamed as she fell back. Twilight clenched her eyes as her horn glowed. Dazzle's body was suddenly engulfed in a purple aura and lowered safely onto the ground. "See? I'm right, you really need to be more careful," Twilight said, hustling her mother back into her chair. "Twilight, I just had a little trip, I'm alright." Dazzle said, taking a seat. "Mom, that could have been a horrible accident," Twilight said as she grabbed a bicycle helmet. "What are you doing?" Dazzle asked. "Making some safely adjustments," Twilight answered as she strapped it on her mother's head. Orion arrived a few hours later carrying several bags. He was amazed to see that the inside of his house looked like a pillow fort. Every inch of the house was covered in soft padding. He walked into what he thought was his living room. He looked at the couch to see Dazzle taped to her seat. "Hi, honey," Dazzle said, smiling. "What’s going on here?" he warily asked. "Oh, Twilight’s trying to make the house a little safer," Dazzle said. Orion was about to sit down when he heard a voice behind him. "State your name and business," Orion turned around till he was face to face with Twilight. "Um, I want to sit down with your mother," Orion stated. Twilight lifted up a clipboard. "Sorry, I'm not seeing you on the list." "Okay, sweetie. You really need to calm down," Dazzle said, tearing the tape off of her body. "But mom, how else am I going to keep you and the foal safe?" Twilight asked. "Well, that's not something that you need to worry about," Orion said. Dazzle gently patted her daughter on the back. "He's right, honey. We love that you care so much and that you want the foal to be safe, but you need to leave the worrying to us.” "I just want the foal to be born safely," Twilight said, sadly. "It will be, I promise," Orion reassured. Later that night, Orion and Dazzle lay in the tub together. "So, I'm guessing that you had an interesting day with Twilight,” Orion said as he rubbed his wife's warm, wet belly. "Yeah. It was quite the ordeal," Dazzle wearily replied. "Just a few more months. Are you excited?" Orion asked his wife. "Oh, of course I am; but I'm really scared about how much it's gonna hurt," Dazzle answered. Orion rubbed her belly more. "It's going to be okay," he said. Dazzle's belly suddenly jumped. "Oh, there's a little kick," Dazzle happily pointed out. "Really?" Orion asked, feeling his wife's belly move. "How does it feel?" "Like hiccups in your belly," Dazzle said with a smile. Orion smiled too as he felt the kicks from the foal. Dazzle giggled a little. "What is it?" he asked. "How fast can you move?" Dazzle asked, still smiling. "Pretty fast, as far as I know," Orion said. "Let's see," Dazzle said. A sudden burst of bubbles came to the surface. "Ahhh," Dazzle said. Orion hopped right out of the tub. "What the buck!" Orion screamed. "Oh, calm down. I wanted the tub to myself for a little while," Dazzle said as she got comfortable. "You could have just asked me to get out," Orion said. "Oh, but where's the fun in that?" Dazzle said, still giggling. "Well, it was pretty gross," Orion said, grabbing a towel and wrapping it around his torso. "Stallions can use the whole world. The only place we mares can use is the bathtub," Dazzle said. "I'm sleeping on the couch tonight," Orion said, walking off. "Have fun in your bath, farty pants." "Oh, I assure you I will," Dazzle said as more bubbles made their way to the surface. Chapter 3It had not been long after the news of Dazzle's pregnancy that the press had found out. A mare of Dazzle's age conceiving and giving birth had never been heard of. Many ponies had their doubts about the whole situation, and many rumors had arisen. Some of them included that Dazzle was serving as a surrogate for Shining and Cadence. The couple wanted to set everything straight. "Are you sure this TV interview is the smartest thing to do?" Orion said to his wife as they sat backstage of Christina Clydesdale show. "I'm sure, I really wanna put these rumors to rest." Dazzle said as she rubbed her expanded belly. "Dazzle and Orion, on in five minutes," a crew member said. "Well, I really wonder what she's saying about us out there." Orion said concerned. "What do you mean?" Dazzle said, curiously. "Well, Christina Clydesdale is known to be a little mean to the ponies she interviews," Orion said. "Like how?" "She usually sides with the audience members that are against her guest," Orion said. "So the ponies spreading these terrible rumors and disapproving of us are the ones she's going to support." Dazzle said nervously. "Most likely, that's why we can't see or hear what's happening on stage. All she cares about is her ratings, and she says whatever she needs to say to get them," Orion said, rubbing her back. "Okay, you two are on," the crew pony said. "I'm starting to wish I hadn't agreed to this," Dazzle said. As Dazzle and Orion walked onto the stage, a booming voice called out. "And here are our senior adulterers now." Several audience members booed. Dazzle looked down and frowned. The two took their seats next to a beautiful brown mare. Her mane was ebony black. Her cutie mark was of a notepad, and lastly she had tuffs of white fur above her hooves. "So, you two are in your fifties and having babies, why?" Christina said. Dazzle and Orion looked at each other and Orion spoke. "We love each other very much, and we felt that we could handle raising another foal." "And you didn't even think about what this foal would have to go through growing up?" Christina said. She opened her mouth and spoke in a mock foal's voice. "Mom, dad, can my friends spend the night in the nursing home? Mom, can dad's urn give me away at my wedding?" Christina said. The audience burst out in laughter. "Another question, do you think it's fair that an old couple that don't need another child get to have one, when young couples can't conceive?" Christina asked. "That's just the way it works." Dazzle said. Christina could see that she wasn't getting the ratings-worthy reactions she was hoping for. She thought for a second, and then smiled a devilish smile. "Orion, are you still attracted to your wife?" "What does that have to do with this interview?" Orion asked. "Just answer the question." Christina said. "Yes, my wife is beautiful and she means the world to me," Orion said as held his wife's hoof. "I mean, sexually," Christina said. Orion shot her a blank look. "Have you seen her belly? it's like that for a reason," Orion said. "Is your wife sexier than me?" Christina said, flaunting her tail. "Yes, my wife is sexier that your powdered flank will ever be," Orion said. Christina's face went scarlet red, and she yelled "Whatever, you just keep thinking that your old, pregnant broad is sexier than me,” Christina said, sticking her nose in the air. Dazzle couldn't take it anymore. "Shut your mouth, you pompous bitch or I will cut you!" Dazzle screamed. Everypony went silent. Christina was flabbergasted. "That all for today, let's say goodbye to our guest." The entire crowd broke out into applause. "And, we're clear" the pony operating the camera said. "Have fun playing with your baby, you old bag," Christina said as she walked back toward her dressing room. "Hope you have as much fun playing with yourself, you dumb hoe," Dazzle called back to her. Dazzle and Orion made their way home from the TV interview. "You were really amazing back there,” Orion said, hugging his wife. "Uh, it takes more than a trashy talk show host to get under my skin," Dazzle said. "Did you really mean those wonderful things you said about me?" "Of course I did, I love you." Orion said, kissing Dazzle. The two continued their walk home when they noticed two guards standing out in front of the door. "Uh, hello,” Dazzle called out to the guards. "Orion and Dazzle, you have been requested to attend a dinner in your honor at Canterlot Castle tonight. We have a carriage to escort you two there.” Dazzle licked her lips. "I heard dinner, let's go," Dazzle said, turning around and getting in the carriage. Chapter 4The carriage made its way toward Canterlot castle. The paved road leading up to the castle made long weaves through the mountains. The guard pulled the carriage ever so carefully through the winding passage. Dazzle's stomach rumbled. "I'm so hungry. How much longer till we get there?" Dazzle said impatiently. "We'll be there soon. Can't you just sit back and enjoy the ride?" Orion said as he stuck his head out the window like a dog. Dazzle looked at her husband and just snickered. As the carriage approached the castle, Dazzle and Orion saw many ponies gathered around the entrance. "What are all these ponies doing here?" Dazzle asked. As they got closer to the crowd, they could hear them chanting. "Oh, Celestia," Orion said, putting a hoof to his head. In only a matter of hours, Christina Clydesdale had rallied support against Orion and Dazzle. A crowd of ponies started booing as the carriage approached. Dazzle looked out and saw that they were carrying signs. One read "No foals for fools." Another said "Diapers and walking sticks don't mix." Dazzle fell back into her seat and frowned. "It's okay, baby, it's going to be alright.” As they walked out, the booing grew stronger. The guards hustled them along and into the castle. "Wow, this place is huge." Dazzle said, as she marvelled at the massive room. "The dinner is in the courtyard," a guard said as he escorted the couple to the enormous garden. They were led through the various hallways until they came to the courtyard. As they looked out into the yard, they saw many high class ponies mingling amongst each other. "Is this some kind of dinner under the stars?" Dazzle said optimistically. "Uh, honey, it's a dinner party." Orion said gingerly. "So, nothing but small snacks and high priced wine?" Dazzle said. "Yup," Orion said. Dazzle's belly rumbled, and she moaned. She ran down into the courtyard and began searching. "Would madam like an apple tart?" a waiter pony said as he gestured towards a tray. "Gimme!" Dazzle said, grabbing the tray and burying her face in it. "Excuse me, sir, but where are the apple tarts? I simply must have another," Fleur de Lis said to a waiter. "BBBUUURRPPP!!!" Dazzle belched. Everypony turned to her. "Can anypony get me another tray of food; I am the guest of honor." Most of the high class ponies raised their noses in disgust. "Such rudeness shouldn't be allowed into a royal dinner party," one of the snobs said. "Mom." Twilight said. Dazzle looked to her side and saw Twilight as well as her friends walking up to her. Dazzle looked up from her food to wave to them. Applejack walked forward with a stallion at her side. "Mom, this is Applejack and her cousin Braeburn. He happened to be in town, and Celestia said it would be great if he could attend." "It's mighty nice to meet you, Mrs Dazzle," Applejack said as she tipped her hat to her. Dazzle acknowledged her and went back to eating. "You'll have to excuse Dazzle, all she's thought about is food for the last few hours," Orion said, walking over to Twilight and her friend. "Girls, I would like you to meet my father, Orion." Twilight said. "Hi, it's so nice to meet you, I'm Pinkie Pie, how are you?" the pink mare said, standing right in the face of Orion. Rainbow Dash grabbed the mare and held her back. "Sorry, she gets really excited when she meets new ponies," Rainbow Dash said. "Yeah, I can see that," Orion said with a chuckle. "So you guys are having a foal, that's so awesome," Rainbow Dash said. "Yup, we're excited.” Dash walked off and said, "Sorry to dash, but I got Wonderbolts to find." Twilight and Rarity walked up to Dazzle. "Mom, this is my friend Rarity." Dazzle swallowed and said "Pleasure to meet you." "The pleasure is all mine," Rarity said with a graceful bow. "Mom, Rarity said she wanted to launch her new foal clothing line, and she wants to give you endless supply." Twilight said. "Oh my, that's so nice." Dazzle said smiling. "Oh, believe me, I would love to help; I completely support you." Rarity said "Well, it's nice to see that someone is," Dazzle said, returning to her food. "Fluttershy, come say hi," Twilight said to her shy friend. Dazzle looked up to see a yellow pegasus hiding behind a table. Fluttershy stepped out into view. "Uh, hi. I'm Fluttershy," the timid mare said, hiding her face. "Oh, honey, aren't you the most adorable thing ever?” Dazzle said. Fluttershy blushed and she asked. "Um, can I feel the foal?" "Of course you can," Dazzle said, exposing her belly. Fluttershy put her hoof to her belly and felt the foal kick. Fluttershy giggled and thanked Dazzle. "You have some wonderful friends, Twilight." Dazzle said. There was a sudden burst of light and Celestia and Luna were in the garden. Everyone looked to see that there was an additional unicorn standing beside them. "We will be serving the main course now," Celestia said. With another flash of her horn, a massive table appeared. Everypony took a seat and waited as waiters brought plates of food to the guests. Twilight was seated next to Luna. "Who is the other unicorn?" Twilight whispered. "That is our nephew, Prince Mercury Flame." The unicorn had a shiny, rust colored coat with a flowing orange mane. Rarity overheard their conversation. "He sure is handsome," Rarity said, staring deeply at the prince. Luna giggled a little. "Sorry, Rarity but you're barking up the wrong tree." Rarity and Twilight went a little wide eyed and went back to eating. Mercury, however, had his own eye on someone. The prince stared across the table to the pale yellow stallion sitting across from him. It was Braeburn, and he was staring at the prince as well. Mercury Flame winked at Braeburn, who returned it with a blush and a slight smile. The two waited a few more minutes before making any moves. Mercury suddenly gestured to the yard shed in the far corner. Braeburn smiled and nodded. The two nonchalantly got up from the table. Everyone seemed too busy with their conversations to notice them getting up and walking toward the shed. "So Dazzle, we have seen your interview." Celestia said giggling. Dazzle coughed as she heard this. "Oh, did you?" Dazzle said, embarrassed. "Yes, quite a spectacle to watch." Celestia said, sipping from her tea. "Oh, geez," Dazzle said, face hoofing. "We're so sorry, princess, never again will we make such fools of ourselves," Orion said. Celestia burst out laughing. "You two need to relax, it was most entertaining," Celestia said. Dazzle and Orion started to breathe normally and sat down to return to their meals. "Well isn't it nice to see you again so soon," a mare said. Dazzle and Orion turned around at the too familiar voice. Behind them was Christina Clydesdale. "What do you want now?" Dazzle asked. "Oh, I just have some unfinished business to attend to," Christina said. "Are you sure you want to do that now? The cameras aren't even on," Orion said. "Oh, I've come for something a little more personal," Christina said with a smile. "And that would be?" Twilight said, hearing the conversation across the table. "Well, I've come to profess my love," Christina said. "What!" Orion, Dazzle and Twilight said simultaneously. "Orion can I have a kiss?" Christina said. "Uh, no," Orion said. "Well I'm not leaving you till I get that kiss, and I always get what I want.” A sudden noise of loud moaning came from the shed. "What was that?" Twilight said. "Rainbow Dash rolled back in her chair, laughing "Oh wow, some ponies are gettin' it on in the shed." Christina heard what the pegasus said. Applejack got up and walked toward the shed. Applejack opened the door and saw just what the source of the noise was. Lying on the floor was Braeburn and Mercury in a loving embrace. "What are y'all doin'? You didn't get invited just so ya could get it on with the prince. Come on, mister." Applejack said, biting Braeburn's ear and pulling him toward the exit. "Wait, before you take him out there in front of anyone." Mercury said, as he put his horn to Braeburn's head. The yellow stallion was instantly invisible. "I really don't want you to get brought into this," Mercury said. "Well, at least one of cares" Applejack said. Applejack walked out with the invisible Braeburn. Christina walked away. "Prince Mercury beds with a mystery stallion at the royal garden dinner; that will defiantly make headlines." She began to turn around and walked toward the mass gathering around the prince. She stopped, and turned. "And Orion, I still want that kiss." "Not on your life," Orion said. "We'll see." She replied. As Orion as Dazzle walked toward the exit, they saw Prince Mercury. Dazzle ran up to him and hugged him. "Thank you for getting Christina away from us; I just feel terrible that it's gonna be your name in the papers tomorrow," Dazzle said. "It was nothing; and don't worry about me. It doesn't matter what some tabloids say about me, I'm comfortable with who I am." Dazzle and Orion smiled. "Now you two need to be comfortable with who you are, because there is always gonna be someone who's gonna to say terrible things and all you have to do is what makes you happy." Prince Mercury said as he walked away. "Are you ready to go home?" Orion said. "Yup, let's put this baby to sleep," Dazzle said. Chapter 5Several days after the dinner party, Orion and Dazzle heard a knocking at the door. Dazzle was sleeping on the couch and Orion had gone to answer the door. Orion had opened the door to see Cadence and Shining standing in the doorway. “Well son this is a pleasant surprise.” Orion said inviting his son and daughter-in-law into the house. “Your mother and I were expecting to see you and Cadence at the dinner party.” Orion said. Cadence blushed and Shining smiled. “Sorry, Orion me and Shining were a little too preoccupied with each other.” Cadence said rubbing Shining’s back. “So your mother and I might not be the only one expecting a foal.” Orion said. “Oh so Twilly might be having a foal?” Shining said. Orion and Cadence started laughing. “Not Twilight, us silly.” Cadence said. “Oh right, foals come from, right.” Shining said woozily. “You okay son?” Orion said looking at Shining. “Oh yeah, I just thought about possibility of becoming a dad.” Shining said. “Does being a dad scare you?” Cadence said. “A little to be honest.” Shining said. “Believe me son that’s perfectly fine, I mean I’m 54 and I’m still nervous about the birth of the foal.” Orion said. “Really?” Shining said. “I really am, still doesn’t mean I’m not excited.” Orion said. “That’s true, I am nervous about it but I would love to be a dad.” Shining said. “It’s funny that you say that because I’m…” Cadence was saying before she was interrupted by a knocking at the door. “Hold that thought Cadence.” Orion said as he got up and walked toward the door. He opened it and stepped back. “I’m here for that kiss.” Christina said walking into the house. “What the hell are you doing here?” Orion said. “I already told you, I’m here for my kiss.” Christina said as she puckered her lips and approached him. Orion quickly grabbed a book and put it between him and her lips. Christina planted a wet kiss on the book. “Get out of my house or I’m gonna shove this where the sun don’t shine.” Orion yelled. “Um, kinky alright I’ll play along.” Christina said turning around and exposing her plot hole.” Orion drooled a little. “What is going on here?” Dazzle yelled said from behind them. “Oh nothing, Orion and I were just having a little fun.” Christina said with a smirk on her face. “Is this true.” Dazzle said with tears in her eyes. “No she is lying.” Orion said. Dazzle started crying and ran down the hallway. “Dazzle come back, please.” Orion yelled. “Shining and Cadence walked in to see Christina. “Can’t you just leave our family alone and stay the hell away from us?” Shining yelled. “You should talk to you dad, he can’t stay away from my plot.” Christina said with a giggle. Cadence stepped forward and slapped her across the face. “Ever come my family again and I’ll kill you bitch!” Cadence said. Christina ran off crying. “That was awesome.” Shining said. “Yeah well I’m full of surprises.” Cadence said wrapping a hoof around Shining. “Do you wanna hear another?” “Sure.” Shining said. “Cadence leaned in and whispered into his ear. Shining fainted and fell to the floor. “He took it better than I thought.” Cadence said with a giggle. Dazzle laid on her bed and cried her eyes out. Orion slowly walked into the room. “Baby It’s really not what It sounds like.” Orion said. “Well what am I supposed to believe?” Dazzle said rolling over with the tears in her eyes. “She is just trying to screw with us, she is just mad because of you stood up to her on her show.” Orion said. “So nothing happened between you two?” Dazzle said. “Of course not I would never do that to you and the kids.” Orion said hugging his wife. “Okay.” Dazzle said as she returned the hug. Cadence walked in carrying Shining over her back. “Are you two okay?” Cadence asked. “Much better now.” Dazzle said. “What happened to Shining?” Orion asked. Cadence smiled and spoke “I’ll told him one of my secrets.” “And that was?” Orion said. “That she’s pregnant.” Shining mumbled. It had been a little over a month since anyone had heard from Christina. Dazzle, Twilight and Cadence once again were once again shopping for things for the foal. “I’m going to be a big sister and an aunt.” Twilight said. “You certainly lucky Twilight.” Cadence said. “But are you planning on adding mother to that list?” Twilight blushed. “I wouldn’t mind being one but I have yup to find the right stallion.” Twilight said with a frown. “Oh don’t worry honey I’m sure you will.” Dazzle said. Twilight sighed. “Thanks mom.” Twilight said sarcastically. The three mares continued to walk around the shops. “I’m hungry you wanna, snack?” Dazzle said. “Sure.” Twilight and Cadence said as they followed her. Dazzle walked up to the counter and ordered. “Excuse me, I would like a blueberry muffin and a chocolate milk.” “Sure thing dear.” The mare at the counter said. She looked up and Dazzle. “Oh my gosh your Dazzle.” She said. Dazzle was confused. “I’m sorry do I know you?” Dazzle said. “No but I read about you in the paper, and I supported you since the beginning.” The mare said. “Oh that nice to know that someone approved of the foal.” Dazzle said. “That’s why I was so said to hear about the scandal.” The mare said. “What scandal?” Dazzle said. “The scandal where you’re husband had an affair.” The mare said sympathetically. “What!” Dazzle screamed. Twilight and Cadence were quickly at her side. “What happened?” Twilight said. “What did you say to her?” Cadence said. “Oh are you gonna beat me up too?” The mare said. “What, why would I beat you up?” Cadence said. The mare handed her a newspaper. The three mares looked at the front page and gasped. “Orion came onto me, and Princess Cadence beat me up to try and silence me. Christina Clydesdale says all.” “That bitch!” the three yelled simultaneously. Dazzle grabbed a knife from the table and walked the exit. “Mom where are you going?” Twilight said concerned. “I’m going to cut that…..AWWWW!” Dazzle said as she fell to the ground. Twilight and Cadence looked to see a large puddle that seemed to amass from between Dazzle’s legs.” “Oh my god, the foal is coming.” Dazzle said as she grabbed her belly and cried out in pain. “I’m gonna go find Orion and Shining.” Cadence said as she spread her wings and took off into the air. “Twilight please get me to the hospital.” Dazzle said. Twilight picked her up and walked her through the street. “Don’t worry mom, I won’t let anything happen you or the foal.” Twilight said walking off with her mom. Chapter 6 Twilight had walked Dazzle down several blocks before hailing a cab. The young stallion who picked them up didn't understand the severity of the situation, and casually stopped and picked up the two mares as he would any other customer. As the two got into the coach, Twilight yelled to the cabbie "Get us to the hospital, and please hurry." The cabbie turned around to assess the situation. "Is someone hurt?" he asked, slightly panicked. Dazzle screamed as a contraction rocked her body. "Get us to the damn hospital!" she yelled. Frightened by her screams, the cabbie bolted down the road with the carriage behind him. The cab rushed down the streets at incredible speeds. In the rocking carriage, Twilight looked down at her mother. Dazzle was sweating profusely from her forehead. "This can't be happening, not now at least, the foal isn't due for another mouth." Twilight babbled, panicking. Dazzle let out another loud scream and cried. "I'm not having my baby in a dirty cab." The cabbie looked back at her. "Hey, know I take offense to that." "Keep your eyes on the road!" Twilight screamed. The cabbie refocused on the road and continued sprinting onward. After several minutes of intense driving, the cab had found its way to the hospital. Twilight quickly helped her mother out of the cab. The cabbie yelled after them. "That's 65 bits!" "Just piss off!" Twilight yelled angrily back at the cabbie. Twilight walked her mother through the doors and got her into one of the wheelchairs by the door. "Twilight?" Dazzle said dizzily. "Yes mom?" Twilight said as she pushed her mother down the hallway. "I don't feel so good," Dazzle said. A terrifying jolt raced through her body. Twilight looked into Dazzle's eyes to see them rolling up. Dazzle's body convulsed and suddenly stopped. She fell backward into her seat. "Mom," Twilight said trying to walk her up. Twilight nudged her slightly to try and wake her up but she did not come to. "Mom, wake up!" Twilight yelled as she placed her hoof to Dazzle's chest. Twilight cried when she felt nothing. "Somepony, help me!” Twilight screamed at the top of her lungs. Several doctors and nurses heard her call and ran over to help. They took Dazzle out of her chair and loaded her onto a stretcher. "Please help her, she just went into labor," Twilight said as they carted her into the operating room. Twilight sat in the waiting room crying her eyes out as she waited to hear any news on her mother’s situation. The doctors got her into a room and lifted her onto a bed. The first thing they did was check her pulse. The reading that they got measured her heart rate at 32 beats per minute. They placed a respirator on Dazzle and got her breathing again. "Prepare a defibrillating spell," one of the doctors told one of the nurses. "But she's pregnant! The shock could kill the foal!" the nurse said. "Either we risk the life of the foal or wait and both of them die," the doctor said. The nurses and other doctors discussed amongst each other and nodded their heads. One of the doctors began to cast a spell. Static electricity started to build around the tip of her horn. She suddenly touched her horn to Dazzle's chest. An electric jolt coursed through her body. "Nothing happened, do it again," one of the doctors said. The unicorn charged her defib spell until static built around the tip of her horn. "Clear!" she yelled as she touched Dazzle's chest with her horn. The beeping of the pulse monitor grew more frequent. The doctors and nurses sighed in relief as her heart rate slowly returned to normal. "Dazzle, can you hear me?" one of the doctors said, trying to wake her up. Dazzle slowly opened one of her eyes and looked up at the doctor. "What happened? Where I'm I?" she asked, confused. "You're in a hospital; you had a heart attack," the doctor said. Dazzle screamed "The foal?" "We don't know yet," the doctor said. Dazzle let her face fall into her hooves and cried. Orion, Shining and Cadence had just arrived at the hospital. They entered the door and saw Twilight crying in the lobby. The three suddenly ran to her side and gathered around her. "Twilight, what happened? Where is your mother?" Twilight tried to talk but could only mumble. "Mom...mom...went into...la...bor...and then she...she was taken...away," Twilight cried. Shinning ran to the front receptionist. "Where is the unicorn named Dazzle being kept?" Shinning asked. The mare at reception looked into her files and spoke. "Ahh, she is being kept in the delivery ward." "Oh, thank Celestia," Shinning said. Orion, Cadence and Twilight walked over to him. "Where is she?" Cadence asked. "It's fine, she's in the delivery ward," Shinning said as he walked. "But her seizure…" Twilight said. "What seizure?" Orion yelled. "Mom had some kind of spasm and passed out," Twilight said. Orion ran toward the delivery ward to find his wife. Orion entered the delivery ward and starting searching the rooms for Dazzle. A doctor saw him as he was doing this. "Excuse me, but what are you doing?" she said. "I'm looking for my wife," Orion said, panicking. "What is her name?" the doctor said. "Dazzle, have you seen her?" Orion said. The doctor sighed. "I need to discuss something with you," the doctor said grimily. Dazzle sat in her bed, crying her eyes out. The door slowly opened and Orion ran inside. "Orion!" Dazzle cried out as she continued to ball. "Are you okay?" Orion said as he grabbed his wife and pulled her in. "The foal?" Dazzle asked with extreme fear in her voice. Orion had tears rolling down his eyes. "They don't think so." Dazzle and Orion held each other until the doctor arrived. "Are you ready to try?" the doctor said. Dazzle sadly nodded her head. The doctor injected her with a drug that would induce birth. Within the hour, Dazzle had begun her contractions. Orion held her hoof tightly as she gave birth. After what seemed like an eternity, the foal made an appearance. "Push!" the doctor yelled. Dazzle gave one final push, and the foal was out. The doctor wrapped the foal in a blanket. Dazzle and Orion started to cry as they assumed the worst. Suddenly the sound of high pitched crying was heard. "Congratulations, it’s a little filly.” The doctor came back and handed the crying foal to Dazzle. She and Orion looked at their little filly; she was a sky blue unicorn with maroon mane. "She is so beautiful." Orion said as he looked at his beautiful baby girl. "Thank you, Celestia!" Dazzle screamed. "What would you like to name her?" the doctor said. "She's going to be named after her sister," Orion said. "Her name is Aurora Sparkle," Dazzle said. "I'm gonna go and get the kids." Orion said, as he walked out the door. Twilight sat with Cadence and Shining. She had stayed up all night waiting for any news. She looked over and saw Cadence curled up with Shining. Twilight decided that she would just rest her eyes for a second, and Twilight was soon sleeping. She was awoken when she felt a tugging at her hoof. She slowly opened her eyes and saw that it was her father. "What happened daddy?" she said nervously. "Twilight, would you like to meet your baby sister?" Orion said. Chapter 7Twilight walked with her father through the double doors that led to the delivery ward. They continued walking until they came to Dazzle's room. Twilight and Orion slowly entered the room and saw Dazzle lying in her bed with little Aurora wrapped in a blanket. "Twilight, this is your baby sister, Aurora Twilight Sparkle," Dazzle said as she held her little filly. A joyful tear rolled down Twilight's cheek as she looked at Aurora. "You named her after me?" Twilight asked. "Yes, because we want Aurora and you to always be united, as sisters and family," Orion said as he gently rubbed Twilight’s mane. Twilight looked at her baby sister. Slowly, Aurora opened her eyelids to reveal her deep violet eyes. She looked up at Twilight and smiled. "Hi Aurora, I'm your big sister, Twilight." Aurora yawned and shut her eyes once again. A nurse walked in. "May I take the foal to the paediatric wing?" she said. Twilight, Dazzle and Orion looked at one another before Dazzle said yes. "Twilight, will you give Aurora to her?" Dazzle asked. Twilight went over to her and delicately picked up the sleeping filly. Aurora whined a little as she did, but settled down after getting in her sisters arms. "See you soon, little sis’," Twilight whispered as she handed the sleeping filly to the nurse. As the nurse walked away with Aurora, Twilight returned to her mother. "Mom, are you sure that everything is going to be okay?" Twilight said. "The doctor said I should be fine." Dazzle said as she lay back in her seat. "I just wanna know why you had a heart attack." Orion said anxiously. "Well, I have the answer to that," a doctor said as she came into the room. "Why did I, doctor?" Dazzle said. "Well based on our findings, we've determined that your heart attack was the result was stress," the doctor said. "She had a heart attack because she was stressed?" Orion asked. "Well, it really is not that simple," the doctor said. "Usually, when ponies have stress related heart attacks, it is due to the fact that they build up their stress over time, but in your case it was a single stressful event that caused it," explained the doctor. Dazzle's eyes went wide; she knew what had happened. "Do you remember what you were doing when your heart attack occurred?" Orion asked. Dazzle sighed. "Excuse me doctor, but could you step out of the room for a second?" Dazzle asked. "Of course,” said the doctor as she turned and walked out the door. Twilight also walked out the door. "I'm going to see if Shining and Cadence are awake." Orion watched as she walked out. He then turned to his wife. "What is all this about?" he asked. Dazzle levitated the remote of her TV. She clicked it on and turned it to a certain channel. On screen was Christina Clydesdale ranting about how she was abused. "And then he told me about all of the nasty, vile things he wanted to do to me." Christina said with tears running down her eyes. "I believe it was you that wanted that book in your ass!" Orion yelled at the TV. Dazzle shushed him as they continued to watch the TV. "The entire Sparkle family has it out for me," Christina said she continued to cry. "They have assaulted me multiple times in retaliation of the harmless interview on my show." Dazzle and Orion looked at each other nervously as she continued to talk. "I just want to know why the royal guard have not arrested Cadence and Orion; maybe it is due to the fact that Shining Armor controls the entire guard," Christina said with spite. "This is not going to look good at all," Dazzle said. "Anypony that doesn't know what really happened is going to assume the worst," Orion said as he paced across the room. "Do we need to get a lawyer?" Dazzle said, deeply concerned. “I don't know if we should, but Shining and Cadence are definitely going to need one," Orion said. "Why would we need a lawyer?" Shining asked. Orion and Dazzle turned their attention to the doorway and saw Shining and Cadence. "We think that the guard is going to arrest Cadence," Orion said. Cadence gasped and Shining screamed. "That is not going to happen; I won't let it happen." Suddenly, a flash of light appeared from the corner of the room, and out from it walked Celestia. "Princess, what are you doing here?" Dazzle asked. "Well, I had heard that Dazzle had given birth, and I wanted to see the foal. Unfortunately, that is only part of the reason I have come," Celestia said. "What is the other reason?" Dazzle asked. "Well, it involves my niece and my guards' captain," Celestia said. "I'm not going to let them do it!" Shining yelled. "We don't have a choice; ponies are rioting outside the castle right now demanding that the arrest be made." "So you're going to arrest your own niece just to please a crowd of rioters? What kind of aunt are you?" "I love my niece, but it doesn't change the fact that she did assault that reporter," Celestia said. "If I’m supposed to order my men to arrest Cadence, then I am going to relinquish my position as captain." Shining said with his head down. "No!" Cadence screamed. Everypony looked at her. "I want to be arrested," she said. Shining walked over to her and said "You can't, what about the foal?" "We'll be fine, but I want you to arrest me; that way you'll know I'm safe," Cadence said. Shining looked to Celestia once again. "Can we at least wait until tomorrow?" "That would be fine." Celestia said. "Thank you." Shining said, as he held Cadence. "Not trying to be rude, but I really need some sleep." Dazzle said. "Oh, of course. I really would like to see the foal anyway." Celestia said as she walked toward the door. Twilight looked through the window into the nursery. There were many foals sleeping in their cribs, but the only one she was looking at was the little unicorn named Aurora. She looked at the filly while she slept. She couldn't wait to see her little baby sister once again. "So this is Aurora Twilight Sparkle," Celestia said behind her. Twilight quickly turned around and saw the princess behind her. "Oh no, did I forget to send my report?" she said in a panic. "Fear not my student, I am not here on business." "Oh, good," Twilight said before returning to her sister. "She is very beautiful; you must be so happy." Celestia said. "Of course I am, I'm a big sister now!" Twilight said. "It is one of the greatest honors in life," Celestia said. "Of course, being an aunt is pretty high up there as well." "I am so excited for that as well. Speaking of which, where is Cadence?" Twilight asked. "I believe she is with Shining." Celestia said. Shining and Cadence made their out of the hospital "So this is our last night before I am sent to jail," Cadence said. "I guess it is. Is there anything you want to do tonight?" Shining asked. Cadence thought to herself. "Tonight I want to go home, have dinner and watch a movie. Do you think we can do that?" Cadence asked. Shining smiled. "Whatever you want, my princess." The two leaned close and kissed before beginning the walk home. Chapter 8A week had passed since the birth of Aurora, and she was finally ready to be taken home. Orion pushed a stroller out the door of the hospital as Dazzle walked behind him. As they made their way out of the hospital, they were approached by a swarm of reporters and paparazzi. “Dazzle, why do you stand by your husband after knowledge of his sexual harassment surfaced?” one of them asked. “Uh, no comment,” Dazzle said, confused. “Orion, did you have sexual relations with Christina Clydesdale?” another reporter said. “Of course not.” Orion snapped back at him. The paparazzi suddenly began snapping photos at them. The relentless flashing of the cameras were too bright for Aurora’s eyes and she began to cry. “Stop it; you’re hurting her eyes!” Dazzle screamed. Orion put a blanket over her eyes and a bottle in her mouth to stop her crying. The family began to run home, leaving the paparazzi behind. After running several blocks, they finally arrived home. Orion opened the door and Dazzle pushed the foal in. Dazzle looked out the peephole and saw that several reporters were making their way up to their door. Dazzle quickly locked it and hung the curtains up. Orion fell back on the couch with his daughter lying on his belly. Dazzle looked at her husband and daughter lying on the couch. Aurora began to cutely snore as she slept. “I’m so glad we are finally home,” Dazzle said as she lay next to her husband. Orion leaned over and kissed her. “Do you think that we should put her to bed?” Dazzle said. Orion nodded and carefully picked her up and walked over to Aurora’s room. Orion set the little filly in her crib and covered her with a blanket. He shut the door and lay back down next to his wife. Dazzle and Orion nuzzled each other as they held one another. Suddenly, a knocking was heard at the door. Orion sighed as he stood up and walked over to the door. He opened the door, and in walked Twilight, carrying several large bags. “Oh, hi Twilight,” Orion said as he walked past him. “Hi, mom; hi, dad,” Twilight said as she set her bags down. “Can I see Aurora?” “Of course,” Dazzle said as she got off of the couch and walked over to the door of Aurora’s room. “Do you think I could foal sit Aurora tonight?” Twilight asked. Dazzle looked back at her, concerned. “I’m not sure you’re ready to look after her just yet.” Twilight was flabbergasted. “I assure you that I could do it; I’ve looked after plenty of foals.” “We’ll see,” Dazzle said. Twilight walked in and saw her little sister sleeping away in the crib. As Twilight took a step closer to her sister’s crib, the floor board creaked under her step. Aurora heard the creak and woke up, beginning to cry. Twilight and Dazzle covered their ears as the filly continued to wail. Twilight went over to her little sister and picked her up out of the crib. She began to rock the little filly. Aurora stopped crying and Twilight held her close again. “See, it’s that easy,” Twilight said, deeply impressed by her accomplishment. Aurora then soiled herself, and Twilight’s entire body cringed as the terrible smell passed by her nose. “My Celestia,” Twilight said, as she handed the filly to Dazzle. “Twilight, you have a lot to learn about foals,” she said as she set the filly on the changing table and changed her diaper. Twilight had recovered from the smell and was at her mom’s side. “Maybe you’re right about me waiting bit before babysitting her,” Twilight said embarrassed. “Well, you did better than Cadence, when she first smelled one of your diapers,” Dazzle said as she put another diaper on Aurora. “What happened?” Twilight asked, slightly embarrassed. “She threw up on the floor,” Dazzle said, laughing. Shining Armor had arrived at the jail. He walked down the corridors until he came to the visitor’s center. As he pushed his way into the room, he saw Cadence sitting there. Shining smiled as he finally saw his wife. “Shining!” she yelled as she ran up to him and tackled him to the ground. Shining pulled his wife into a kiss. “I’ve missed so much,” Shining said. “So have we,” Cadence said as she rubbed her slight enlarged belly. “Well, they say that you have can leave,” Shining said ecstatically. “Really?” Cadence joyfully screamed. “Yup,” Shining said, taking her hoof and escorting her toward the exit. Twilight sat on the couch, holding Aurora in her hooves. “Has the press given you any trouble?” Orion asked. “Not really, but lots have ponies have asked me if you had an affair with Christina Clydesdale.” Orion sighed and thought. “What are you thinking about?” Dazzle asked him. “I’m trying to figure out why Christina hates us so much,” Orion said. “Maybe she’s the Changeling Queen trying to get her revenge on our family,” Twilight said. “That’s a bit of a stretch, don’t you think?” Dazzle said. “Maybe she’s hiding something,” Orion said. “And for some reason it has something to do with us?” Twilight said. Dazzle began to think. “You wanna get her back?” “What do you suggest?” Orion asked. “She embarrassed us, so we’re going to embarrass her on her show,” Dazzle said. “All we have to figure out is how.” “I know how,” Cadence said. Everypony looked over and saw her and Shining standing in the doorway. “Cadence, you’re back,” Orion said. “Indeed I am,” Cadence said as she sat down on the couch. “Here is what we’re going to do…” Twilight teleported to the studio where the Christina Clydesdale Show was about to be filmed. Her horn flashed, and she was suddenly dressed in her black latex jumpsuit. As she entered, she carefully made her way through the hallways until she came up to Christina’s dressing room. She carefully entered the room and saw Christina’s snacks and cup of tea lying on the table. Twilight made her way over to the table and pulled out a bag of blue dust. She sprinkled it on her food and poured the rest of it into the tea. Twilight then heard some hoof steps outside the door. Twilight quickly hid underneath the table as Christina entered the room, quickly eating a few of the snacks and drinking the tea. “That’s right, stuff your face, you bitch,” Twilight thought to herself. She could hardly wait for Christina to embarrass herself on live T.V. Now all she had to do was wait for the poison joke to take effect. Chapter 9Twilight stayed hidden under the table while Christina prepped for her show. The brown mare stood in front of a mirror while several other mares applied her makeup and styled her hair. Twilight could hardly contain her amusement as she awaited the effects of the poison joke to take effect. A stallion came into her room and said. “Five minutes till we’re on.” Christina gestured her stylists to step away and she walked toward the door. The stylist walked out after her and Twilight was finally alone in the room. She had crawled out from under the table and prepared to walk out the door. As she pressed the door open she felt it being pulled as well. The door suddenly opened and the stallion from before walked in. Twilight screamed as she’d been discovered. “What are you doing here?” the stallion asked. “I….I’m” Twilight said panicked. “Go on say it.” The stallion said once again. “Well I was playing a prank on Christina Clydesdale.” Twilight said embarrassed. The stallion didn’t say anything at first then he suddenly said. “Uh finally someone stands up to that miserable bitch.” “Huh,” Twilight said confusingly. “I have just been waiting for someone to give her a taste of her own medicine.” The stallion said. “Oh I thought you were going to report me or something.” Twilight said relived. “Will you tell me your name?” the stallion said to Twilight. “Oh my name is Twilight Sparkle.” Twilight said as she pulled her hood from her latex suit off. “Oh you’re the daughter of Dazzle and Orion right?” The stallion said. “Yes I am.” Twilight said smiling. “What is your name?” “Oh I’m Check Mark.” The stallion said. “What do you do around here?” Twilight asked. “Oh well I am in charge of basically making checklist and keeping records.” Check Mark said. Twilight’s eyes shined. “That sounds like a great job.” Twilight said. “Really?” Check Mark said. “Yes, I mean it.” Twilight said. “What was your prank on Christina?” Check Mark asked. “I put poison joke in her tea.” Twilight said giggling. Check Mark started laughing as well. “Well you want to watch?” Check Mark said. “Of course.” Twilight said. The two took a seat on the couch and turned on the TV in the room. On the screen Christina had just taken her seat. In the Sparkle home. Dazzle and Orion sat with Aurora sitting between them. “Do you think she did it?” Orion said. “I guess we’ll have to wait and see.” Dazzle said. Shining and Cadence suddenly burst through the door. “Is it on?” Shining yelled as he jumped onto the couch. “It just started” Orion said. “Do you know if she put the poison joke in her food?” Dazzle asked.” “She made it inside and that was the last we saw of her.” Christina was sitting in her seat, talking to her audience. “I know what you want to know, I have recovered from being beaten by Princess Cadence.” Christina said. “Also did you hear that Dazzle had her baby, she also had a heart attack.” Christina said with a giggle in her voice. “BBBBBBUUUUUUUURPPPP!” Christina suddenly belched. The audience suddenly erupted in massive laughter. Christina covered her mouth and got up blushed. “Sorry everypony I had a soda.” Anyway I am pleased to inform you that I received justice after my assault. Christina suddenly fell on her flank and she began to scoot across the floor like a dog with worms might. Christina face was stuck with horror as she did this. All the while the audience was laughing profusely. Christina sudden was able to stand up. “What’s going on,” Christina said. She suddenly turned her flank toward the audience and rose her tail. “FFFFFLAAAAAAPPPPTTTT” roared from Christina’s flank. All the plants on her stage suddenly died, sending the audience into a fit of laughter and coughing. Christina’s cheeked suddenly turned an extremely deep shade of red possible. Her coat and mane suddenly changed colors from white to black to every color on the rainbow. While this went on, the Sparkle family sat back in laughter at the glorious site which they were currently watching. Christina’s coat had finally stopped changing colors. Nothing happened for a moment when Christina hopped up on her hind legs and started doing the Gangnam Style dance. Several members of the audience being doing the dace as well. Christina began sneezing and as she did, tuffs of her hair fell of her body. Until she was left completely naked on the stage. The audience’s laughter reached enormously high levels, the highest that they had ever been. “Stop laughing at me!” Christina yelled. She tried to run backstage but only her back hind legs ran while her front seemed to scoot across the floor. The audience gave one final laugh and broke out into thunderous applause. “YAAAAAAYY” Twilight and Check Mark said together. The Sparkle family’s plan had worked out perfectly and it couldn’t have gone better. “Well do you think you got a great revenge?” Check Mark asked. “Oh I did and it was perfect, I doubt Christina will ever torment our family again.” Twilight said ecstatically. “I doubt she will ever even show her face ever again.” Check Mark said with a laugh. Twilight looked at him and blushed. “What is it?” Check Mark said. Twilight leaned over hugged him. "Thank you for being so nice to me." Twilight said to her new friend. "Oh don't mention it, I am just glad to see someone brave enough to stick up to that tight flanked twat." Check Mark said laughing. "So you promise not to tell on me." Twilight said. "Oh don't worry I won't tell a soul." Check Mark said. A rattle was heard on the handle of the door. "Check Mark, you useless idiot, open this door. Twilight quietly shrieked. "I have to go." Twilight said as she prepared to teleport away. "Wait, will you be alright?" Twilight asked. "Oh don't worry she jut yells a lot and that's it." Check Mark said. "Now you really need to get out of here." He said in a hushed yell. Twilight flashed a away and was gone. Chapter 10Twilight happily skipped to the home of her parents. A smile of victory hung high on her face. Her mission of infiltrating Christina Clydesdale's studio and sabotaging her show was a complete success. She eagerly returned home to join her family's celebration. As she arrived at the house, she was covered by hugs of gratitude. "I knew you could do it, Twily," Shining said as he held his sister in and ruffled her hair. Cadence and her pregnant belly moved towards Twilight and wrapped her hooves around the lavender mare. "That was amazing; you pulled it off perfectly,” Cadence said. Dazzle and Orion also walked toward their daughter and held her. "I think it's finally over," Dazzle said. "After this, I doubt that Christina will ever say anything on her show ever again," Orion said as he took his seat back on the couch. Sitting next to him was the sleeping Aurora. The little filly was picked up by her father and rocked gently. She opened her eyes. She smiled and reached out at her father's muzzle. "Who's daddy’s little angel?" Orion said in a baby voice. Twilight walked over to her father and joined him on the couch. Aurora saw Twilight and reached out for her as well. Orion slowly handed the little filly to his daughter. Twilight brought her little in for a hug and the little foal wrapped her hooves around her sister. Suddenly Aurora put her lips to her sister's teat and tried to suckle. It caught Twilight so off guard that she screamed a little. Dazzle saw what was happening and rushed over to Twilight. She snatched Aurora up and took her in her hooves. "No Aurora, that's not mommy!" Dazzle yelled as she did. Twilight quickly stood up. "Sorry everyone, but I should go; we'll have to celebrate some other night," Twilight said as she walked toward the door. Shining looked at the clock on the wall and saw that it was getting rather late. "Sorry everyone; Cadence and I should be going as well," he said he helped his pregnant wife to her hooves. The two left and Dazzle and Orion were finally alone with their baby. Dazzle scooted closer to her husband. He held her close and ran his hoof through her mane. "I love you so much," Orion said. "I love you, too; and thank you for giving us our little filly," Dazzle said as she held Aurora. A small rumble was heard from Aurora's belly. "Sounds like someone is hungry." Orion said. "Would you feed her? I'm sore," Dazzle said with a giggle. Orion simply rolled his eyes. Dazzle lifted up a small blanket and placed it over Aurora as she fed her. The filly made little sucking noise as she nursed. "Doesn't that hurt?" Orion asked. "Believe me, it hurts a lot more when she doesn't feed." Dazzle said as she fed her baby. Later that night Dazzle, Orion and Aurora slept in bed. Orion held Dazzle and she was snuggling her foal. Aurora began to scream. The screams instantly awoke Orion and Dazzle. "Will you take this one?" Dazzle said muffled by the pillow. "Ugh, sure," Orion said as he got out of bed and picked up his daughter. He slowly rocked her and patted her back. Aurora burped and stopped crying. Orion became extremely proud of his accomplishment. "See babe, it's that simple." Orion said. "Oh you're the man," Dazzle said. Aurora suddenly vomited everywhere and Orion was covered in his daughter’s puke. "Sure glad I didn't take this one," Dazzle said with a giggle. "Hey, I got the easy one; it may have come out the front, but I bet it's coming out the back your turn," Orion said with a laugh.
Chapter 1Twilight and Cadence walked along side Dazzle as the three mares made their way through Canterlot. "I'm so excited; in a few months, I'm going to be a big sister," Twilight said as she smiled a cheeky smile. "Indeed, it is very exciting," Cadence said as walked beside them. "How many more months until you're expected to deliver?" Twilight asked her mother. "Well, when I found out I was pregnant, the doctor said I looked as if I was three or four months along. So sometime within the next six or seven months," Dazzle said. Twilight's expression of joy turned a little worrisome. "Um mom?" "Yes dear?" Twilight thought a little before speaking again. "Do the doctors think that the foal is going to be born without any complications?" "Well they did express some concern; most mares don't get pregnant at my age," Twilight and Cadence looked worried. "Is there a chance that something could happen during the birthing?" Cadence asked with a worried look on her face. "Well there is always the risk but I'm healthy and there's a good chance that everything should go smoothly," Dazzle said trying to reassure her daughter and daughter-in-law. Twilight and Cadence smiled a bit but still had their worries. "Now can we please go get something to eat? If you girls are forgetting, I am feeding for two here,” Twilight and Cadence quickly rejoined her. On the other side of town, Shining sat with his father and a group his friends at a bar. They were all celebrating Dazzle's pregnancy with a few drinks. "So you're are like 50 and still get action?" one of Shining's friends said. "You know it," Orion said taking a drink of his cider. Another one of Shining's friends spoke. "Orion, I don't care how old you are, you still kick ass." "I still tap a little ass too," he said laughing. Shining’s friends laughed and cheered as well. The only one who didn't say a thing was Shining who just there and fiddled with his drink. After another hour, all of Shining's friends had left the bar. "Well that sure was fun," Orion said getting up from the table and walking toward the door. "Dad we need to talk," Shining said in a stern voice. “What about son?" Orion asked. "This whole foal business, I really think this was a bad idea." "And why is that," Orion said back. "Well, for one thing, why did you wait this long to have another child?" Shining demanded. “It's just how it worked out. I love your mother very much and it just happened," Orion responded, looking back at the floor. "What about when the foal is my age, will you even still be around?" Shining asked. "Believe me son, I've already thought that. That's the first thing I thought of when I found out your mother was pregnant,” Orion replied. "In any sense, this whole thing was very irresponsible," Shining snapped. Orion looked up from the floor. “Okay, I'm going to stop you right there. You have no right to call us irresponsible," Orion said loudly. Shining held his ground. "I'm just thinking about the well-being of the foal," Shining said. "No you are thinking about what everyone else is going to say about our family," Orion said. Shining was about to speak but stopped. His dad was right. "Well I just hope you're not getting in over your heads," Shining said looking down. "Don't worry son, your mother and I are more than capable of doing this," Orion gently said. He wrapped a hoof around his son’s neck. "Come on Shining, let's go home. After their lunch, the three mares continued walking through the town. Dazzle had caught something in the corner of her eye. A shop along the road had a crib in the window. It was made of elegant mahogany and had beautiful engraving on it. "Oh I wanna look at that," Dazzle said as she turned and walked toward the shop. Twilight and Cadence quickly followed her. Dazzle walked inside and found the cradle. "This is the cradle." she said as she got into her bit bag. "Oh no you don't," Twilight said as she got into her bit bag. "This is on us." Cadence said as she too got into her bag. A sales mare saw the group gathered around the crib and asked, "Hello ladies. Do you need any help?" “Yes. We would like to buy this crib,” Cadence answered. "Okay, that will be three-hundred bits." She suddenly stopped speaking. "Oh my gosh you're Princess Cadence and that’s a crib." She put the two together and ecstatically said, "Oh my gosh, I'm selling a crib for the royal foal!" "Not exactly," Cadence replied with a giggle. Dazzle stepped forward and sheepishly said, "Actually I'm the one having the foal." "Really? You’re so old though," the sales mare said bewildered. Dazzle suddenly bared her teeth and moved toward the sales mare. "Just sell us the crib," Twilight said, holding her mother back. After a long day with their family, it was time for Twilight, Shining and Cadence to head back to their own homes. "Bye mom, bye dad, we'll see you again this weekend,” Shining called as he shut the door. As soon as she heard the door shut, Dazzle walked over and kissed Orion. "I take that your day was good," Orion said. "Yup I already got the foal a crib," Dazzle said as she levitated it into the house. "Oh wow," Orion remarked a little surprised. "What did you do today?" Dazzle asked, lying down next to her husband. "Well I went and did a little celebrating with Shining." "Oh and you didn't want to celebrate with me?" Dazzle remarked. "Well you can't really drink much can you?" Orion said. "Not that kind of celebrating," Dazzle slyly replied as she pushed Orion onto his back and kissed him. The two continued their make-out session as the door opened and their son walked in. "Sorry, Cadence forgot her bit bag," Shining said. He then looked up and saw what his parents were doing. "Oh my god, why are you doing that when I'm right here?" Shining screamed as he covered his eyes. "It can't be any worse than when I walked in on you and Cadence," Orion said as he gestured with his hoof. Shining blushed and grabbed Cadence's bit bag. "Things are gonna get a little wild Shine, so you might wanna get outta here." Orion casually remarked as he smacked Dazzle on her flank. "Oh mommy likey." Dazzle cooed. Shining turned around and hurried out the door.
Chapter 2It had been several weeks since Twilight had seen her parents. So when the opportunity to see them arose, Twilight had jumped at the chance. Twilight walked up to the door of her parents’ home and knocked on the door. She heard the sound of hoofsteps from behind the door and waited. The door slowly opened and Twilight backed up slightly. In her face was the slightly expanded belly of Dazzle. “Oh my goodness!” Twilight gasped as she looked at her mom’s belly. “Twilight, I’m so glad you’re here,” Dazzle said as she tried to hug Twilight past her large belly. “Oh wow, you sure seemed to, um….” Twilight stuttered, trying to find the right words. “Gotten fat, yes, I know,” Dazzle finished with a laugh. “How are you feeling?” Twilight asked her mother as she led her back into the house. “I’m fine Twilight,” Dazzle said as she sat back on the couch. "Where's dad?" Twilight asked. "Oh he went into town to get a few things. Would you like something to eat?” Dazzle asked her daughter. Twilight suddenly jumped up. “I’ll get it; you just say sitting.” Dazzle glared at Twilight. “Twilight, I’m pregnant, not crippled,” Dazzle snapped as she got up and walked into the kitchen. Twilight winced with every step that Dazzle took. “Mom, you’re carrying my LBBFF or LSBFF, you really need to be more careful.” "Twilight, I assure you that I can take care of myself," Dazzle replied as she reared up on her hind legs and reached for a box of cereal. As she stepped down, she slipped and fell backwards. "Agh!" Dazzle screamed as she fell back. Twilight clenched her eyes as her horn glowed. Dazzle's body was suddenly engulfed in a purple aura and lowered safely onto the ground. "See? I'm right, you really need to be more careful," Twilight said, hustling her mother back into her chair. "Twilight, I just had a little trip, I'm alright." Dazzle said, taking a seat. "Mom, that could have been a horrible accident," Twilight said as she grabbed a bicycle helmet. "What are you doing?" Dazzle asked. "Making some safely adjustments," Twilight answered as she strapped it on her mother's head. Orion arrived a few hours later carrying several bags. He was amazed to see that the inside of his house looked like a pillow fort. Every inch of the house was covered in soft padding. He walked into what he thought was his living room. He looked at the couch to see Dazzle taped to her seat. "Hi, honey," Dazzle said, smiling. "What’s going on here?" he warily asked. "Oh, Twilight’s trying to make the house a little safer," Dazzle said. Orion was about to sit down when he heard a voice behind him. "State your name and business," Orion turned around till he was face to face with Twilight. "Um, I want to sit down with your mother," Orion stated. Twilight lifted up a clipboard. "Sorry, I'm not seeing you on the list." "Okay, sweetie. You really need to calm down," Dazzle said, tearing the tape off of her body. "But mom, how else am I going to keep you and the foal safe?" Twilight asked. "Well, that's not something that you need to worry about," Orion said. Dazzle gently patted her daughter on the back. "He's right, honey. We love that you care so much and that you want the foal to be safe, but you need to leave the worrying to us.” "I just want the foal to be born safely," Twilight said, sadly. "It will be, I promise," Orion reassured. Later that night, Orion and Dazzle lay in the tub together. "So, I'm guessing that you had an interesting day with Twilight,” Orion said as he rubbed his wife's warm, wet belly. "Yeah. It was quite the ordeal," Dazzle wearily replied. "Just a few more months. Are you excited?" Orion asked his wife. "Oh, of course I am; but I'm really scared about how much it's gonna hurt," Dazzle answered. Orion rubbed her belly more. "It's going to be okay," he said. Dazzle's belly suddenly jumped. "Oh, there's a little kick," Dazzle happily pointed out. "Really?" Orion asked, feeling his wife's belly move. "How does it feel?" "Like hiccups in your belly," Dazzle said with a smile. Orion smiled too as he felt the kicks from the foal. Dazzle giggled a little. "What is it?" he asked. "How fast can you move?" Dazzle asked, still smiling. "Pretty fast, as far as I know," Orion said. "Let's see," Dazzle said. A sudden burst of bubbles came to the surface. "Ahhh," Dazzle said. Orion hopped right out of the tub. "What the buck!" Orion screamed. "Oh, calm down. I wanted the tub to myself for a little while," Dazzle said as she got comfortable. "You could have just asked me to get out," Orion said. "Oh, but where's the fun in that?" Dazzle said, still giggling. "Well, it was pretty gross," Orion said, grabbing a towel and wrapping it around his torso. "Stallions can use the whole world. The only place we mares can use is the bathtub," Dazzle said. "I'm sleeping on the couch tonight," Orion said, walking off. "Have fun in your bath, farty pants." "Oh, I assure you I will," Dazzle said as more bubbles made their way to the surface.
Chapter 3It had not been long after the news of Dazzle's pregnancy that the press had found out. A mare of Dazzle's age conceiving and giving birth had never been heard of. Many ponies had their doubts about the whole situation, and many rumors had arisen. Some of them included that Dazzle was serving as a surrogate for Shining and Cadence. The couple wanted to set everything straight. "Are you sure this TV interview is the smartest thing to do?" Orion said to his wife as they sat backstage of Christina Clydesdale show. "I'm sure, I really wanna put these rumors to rest." Dazzle said as she rubbed her expanded belly. "Dazzle and Orion, on in five minutes," a crew member said. "Well, I really wonder what she's saying about us out there." Orion said concerned. "What do you mean?" Dazzle said, curiously. "Well, Christina Clydesdale is known to be a little mean to the ponies she interviews," Orion said. "Like how?" "She usually sides with the audience members that are against her guest," Orion said. "So the ponies spreading these terrible rumors and disapproving of us are the ones she's going to support." Dazzle said nervously. "Most likely, that's why we can't see or hear what's happening on stage. All she cares about is her ratings, and she says whatever she needs to say to get them," Orion said, rubbing her back. "Okay, you two are on," the crew pony said. "I'm starting to wish I hadn't agreed to this," Dazzle said. As Dazzle and Orion walked onto the stage, a booming voice called out. "And here are our senior adulterers now." Several audience members booed. Dazzle looked down and frowned. The two took their seats next to a beautiful brown mare. Her mane was ebony black. Her cutie mark was of a notepad, and lastly she had tuffs of white fur above her hooves. "So, you two are in your fifties and having babies, why?" Christina said. Dazzle and Orion looked at each other and Orion spoke. "We love each other very much, and we felt that we could handle raising another foal." "And you didn't even think about what this foal would have to go through growing up?" Christina said. She opened her mouth and spoke in a mock foal's voice. "Mom, dad, can my friends spend the night in the nursing home? Mom, can dad's urn give me away at my wedding?" Christina said. The audience burst out in laughter. "Another question, do you think it's fair that an old couple that don't need another child get to have one, when young couples can't conceive?" Christina asked. "That's just the way it works." Dazzle said. Christina could see that she wasn't getting the ratings-worthy reactions she was hoping for. She thought for a second, and then smiled a devilish smile. "Orion, are you still attracted to your wife?" "What does that have to do with this interview?" Orion asked. "Just answer the question." Christina said. "Yes, my wife is beautiful and she means the world to me," Orion said as held his wife's hoof. "I mean, sexually," Christina said. Orion shot her a blank look. "Have you seen her belly? it's like that for a reason," Orion said. "Is your wife sexier than me?" Christina said, flaunting her tail. "Yes, my wife is sexier that your powdered flank will ever be," Orion said. Christina's face went scarlet red, and she yelled "Whatever, you just keep thinking that your old, pregnant broad is sexier than me,” Christina said, sticking her nose in the air. Dazzle couldn't take it anymore. "Shut your mouth, you pompous bitch or I will cut you!" Dazzle screamed. Everypony went silent. Christina was flabbergasted. "That all for today, let's say goodbye to our guest." The entire crowd broke out into applause. "And, we're clear" the pony operating the camera said. "Have fun playing with your baby, you old bag," Christina said as she walked back toward her dressing room. "Hope you have as much fun playing with yourself, you dumb hoe," Dazzle called back to her. Dazzle and Orion made their way home from the TV interview. "You were really amazing back there,” Orion said, hugging his wife. "Uh, it takes more than a trashy talk show host to get under my skin," Dazzle said. "Did you really mean those wonderful things you said about me?" "Of course I did, I love you." Orion said, kissing Dazzle. The two continued their walk home when they noticed two guards standing out in front of the door. "Uh, hello,” Dazzle called out to the guards. "Orion and Dazzle, you have been requested to attend a dinner in your honor at Canterlot Castle tonight. We have a carriage to escort you two there.” Dazzle licked her lips. "I heard dinner, let's go," Dazzle said, turning around and getting in the carriage.
Chapter 4The carriage made its way toward Canterlot castle. The paved road leading up to the castle made long weaves through the mountains. The guard pulled the carriage ever so carefully through the winding passage. Dazzle's stomach rumbled. "I'm so hungry. How much longer till we get there?" Dazzle said impatiently. "We'll be there soon. Can't you just sit back and enjoy the ride?" Orion said as he stuck his head out the window like a dog. Dazzle looked at her husband and just snickered. As the carriage approached the castle, Dazzle and Orion saw many ponies gathered around the entrance. "What are all these ponies doing here?" Dazzle asked. As they got closer to the crowd, they could hear them chanting. "Oh, Celestia," Orion said, putting a hoof to his head. In only a matter of hours, Christina Clydesdale had rallied support against Orion and Dazzle. A crowd of ponies started booing as the carriage approached. Dazzle looked out and saw that they were carrying signs. One read "No foals for fools." Another said "Diapers and walking sticks don't mix." Dazzle fell back into her seat and frowned. "It's okay, baby, it's going to be alright.” As they walked out, the booing grew stronger. The guards hustled them along and into the castle. "Wow, this place is huge." Dazzle said, as she marvelled at the massive room. "The dinner is in the courtyard," a guard said as he escorted the couple to the enormous garden. They were led through the various hallways until they came to the courtyard. As they looked out into the yard, they saw many high class ponies mingling amongst each other. "Is this some kind of dinner under the stars?" Dazzle said optimistically. "Uh, honey, it's a dinner party." Orion said gingerly. "So, nothing but small snacks and high priced wine?" Dazzle said. "Yup," Orion said. Dazzle's belly rumbled, and she moaned. She ran down into the courtyard and began searching. "Would madam like an apple tart?" a waiter pony said as he gestured towards a tray. "Gimme!" Dazzle said, grabbing the tray and burying her face in it. "Excuse me, sir, but where are the apple tarts? I simply must have another," Fleur de Lis said to a waiter. "BBBUUURRPPP!!!" Dazzle belched. Everypony turned to her. "Can anypony get me another tray of food; I am the guest of honor." Most of the high class ponies raised their noses in disgust. "Such rudeness shouldn't be allowed into a royal dinner party," one of the snobs said. "Mom." Twilight said. Dazzle looked to her side and saw Twilight as well as her friends walking up to her. Dazzle looked up from her food to wave to them. Applejack walked forward with a stallion at her side. "Mom, this is Applejack and her cousin Braeburn. He happened to be in town, and Celestia said it would be great if he could attend." "It's mighty nice to meet you, Mrs Dazzle," Applejack said as she tipped her hat to her. Dazzle acknowledged her and went back to eating. "You'll have to excuse Dazzle, all she's thought about is food for the last few hours," Orion said, walking over to Twilight and her friend. "Girls, I would like you to meet my father, Orion." Twilight said. "Hi, it's so nice to meet you, I'm Pinkie Pie, how are you?" the pink mare said, standing right in the face of Orion. Rainbow Dash grabbed the mare and held her back. "Sorry, she gets really excited when she meets new ponies," Rainbow Dash said. "Yeah, I can see that," Orion said with a chuckle. "So you guys are having a foal, that's so awesome," Rainbow Dash said. "Yup, we're excited.” Dash walked off and said, "Sorry to dash, but I got Wonderbolts to find." Twilight and Rarity walked up to Dazzle. "Mom, this is my friend Rarity." Dazzle swallowed and said "Pleasure to meet you." "The pleasure is all mine," Rarity said with a graceful bow. "Mom, Rarity said she wanted to launch her new foal clothing line, and she wants to give you endless supply." Twilight said. "Oh my, that's so nice." Dazzle said smiling. "Oh, believe me, I would love to help; I completely support you." Rarity said "Well, it's nice to see that someone is," Dazzle said, returning to her food. "Fluttershy, come say hi," Twilight said to her shy friend. Dazzle looked up to see a yellow pegasus hiding behind a table. Fluttershy stepped out into view. "Uh, hi. I'm Fluttershy," the timid mare said, hiding her face. "Oh, honey, aren't you the most adorable thing ever?” Dazzle said. Fluttershy blushed and she asked. "Um, can I feel the foal?" "Of course you can," Dazzle said, exposing her belly. Fluttershy put her hoof to her belly and felt the foal kick. Fluttershy giggled and thanked Dazzle. "You have some wonderful friends, Twilight." Dazzle said. There was a sudden burst of light and Celestia and Luna were in the garden. Everyone looked to see that there was an additional unicorn standing beside them. "We will be serving the main course now," Celestia said. With another flash of her horn, a massive table appeared. Everypony took a seat and waited as waiters brought plates of food to the guests. Twilight was seated next to Luna. "Who is the other unicorn?" Twilight whispered. "That is our nephew, Prince Mercury Flame." The unicorn had a shiny, rust colored coat with a flowing orange mane. Rarity overheard their conversation. "He sure is handsome," Rarity said, staring deeply at the prince. Luna giggled a little. "Sorry, Rarity but you're barking up the wrong tree." Rarity and Twilight went a little wide eyed and went back to eating. Mercury, however, had his own eye on someone. The prince stared across the table to the pale yellow stallion sitting across from him. It was Braeburn, and he was staring at the prince as well. Mercury Flame winked at Braeburn, who returned it with a blush and a slight smile. The two waited a few more minutes before making any moves. Mercury suddenly gestured to the yard shed in the far corner. Braeburn smiled and nodded. The two nonchalantly got up from the table. Everyone seemed too busy with their conversations to notice them getting up and walking toward the shed. "So Dazzle, we have seen your interview." Celestia said giggling. Dazzle coughed as she heard this. "Oh, did you?" Dazzle said, embarrassed. "Yes, quite a spectacle to watch." Celestia said, sipping from her tea. "Oh, geez," Dazzle said, face hoofing. "We're so sorry, princess, never again will we make such fools of ourselves," Orion said. Celestia burst out laughing. "You two need to relax, it was most entertaining," Celestia said. Dazzle and Orion started to breathe normally and sat down to return to their meals. "Well isn't it nice to see you again so soon," a mare said. Dazzle and Orion turned around at the too familiar voice. Behind them was Christina Clydesdale. "What do you want now?" Dazzle asked. "Oh, I just have some unfinished business to attend to," Christina said. "Are you sure you want to do that now? The cameras aren't even on," Orion said. "Oh, I've come for something a little more personal," Christina said with a smile. "And that would be?" Twilight said, hearing the conversation across the table. "Well, I've come to profess my love," Christina said. "What!" Orion, Dazzle and Twilight said simultaneously. "Orion can I have a kiss?" Christina said. "Uh, no," Orion said. "Well I'm not leaving you till I get that kiss, and I always get what I want.” A sudden noise of loud moaning came from the shed. "What was that?" Twilight said. "Rainbow Dash rolled back in her chair, laughing "Oh wow, some ponies are gettin' it on in the shed." Christina heard what the pegasus said. Applejack got up and walked toward the shed. Applejack opened the door and saw just what the source of the noise was. Lying on the floor was Braeburn and Mercury in a loving embrace. "What are y'all doin'? You didn't get invited just so ya could get it on with the prince. Come on, mister." Applejack said, biting Braeburn's ear and pulling him toward the exit. "Wait, before you take him out there in front of anyone." Mercury said, as he put his horn to Braeburn's head. The yellow stallion was instantly invisible. "I really don't want you to get brought into this," Mercury said. "Well, at least one of cares" Applejack said. Applejack walked out with the invisible Braeburn. Christina walked away. "Prince Mercury beds with a mystery stallion at the royal garden dinner; that will defiantly make headlines." She began to turn around and walked toward the mass gathering around the prince. She stopped, and turned. "And Orion, I still want that kiss." "Not on your life," Orion said. "We'll see." She replied. As Orion as Dazzle walked toward the exit, they saw Prince Mercury. Dazzle ran up to him and hugged him. "Thank you for getting Christina away from us; I just feel terrible that it's gonna be your name in the papers tomorrow," Dazzle said. "It was nothing; and don't worry about me. It doesn't matter what some tabloids say about me, I'm comfortable with who I am." Dazzle and Orion smiled. "Now you two need to be comfortable with who you are, because there is always gonna be someone who's gonna to say terrible things and all you have to do is what makes you happy." Prince Mercury said as he walked away. "Are you ready to go home?" Orion said. "Yup, let's put this baby to sleep," Dazzle said.
Chapter 5Several days after the dinner party, Orion and Dazzle heard a knocking at the door. Dazzle was sleeping on the couch and Orion had gone to answer the door. Orion had opened the door to see Cadence and Shining standing in the doorway. “Well son this is a pleasant surprise.” Orion said inviting his son and daughter-in-law into the house. “Your mother and I were expecting to see you and Cadence at the dinner party.” Orion said. Cadence blushed and Shining smiled. “Sorry, Orion me and Shining were a little too preoccupied with each other.” Cadence said rubbing Shining’s back. “So your mother and I might not be the only one expecting a foal.” Orion said. “Oh so Twilly might be having a foal?” Shining said. Orion and Cadence started laughing. “Not Twilight, us silly.” Cadence said. “Oh right, foals come from, right.” Shining said woozily. “You okay son?” Orion said looking at Shining. “Oh yeah, I just thought about possibility of becoming a dad.” Shining said. “Does being a dad scare you?” Cadence said. “A little to be honest.” Shining said. “Believe me son that’s perfectly fine, I mean I’m 54 and I’m still nervous about the birth of the foal.” Orion said. “Really?” Shining said. “I really am, still doesn’t mean I’m not excited.” Orion said. “That’s true, I am nervous about it but I would love to be a dad.” Shining said. “It’s funny that you say that because I’m…” Cadence was saying before she was interrupted by a knocking at the door. “Hold that thought Cadence.” Orion said as he got up and walked toward the door. He opened it and stepped back. “I’m here for that kiss.” Christina said walking into the house. “What the hell are you doing here?” Orion said. “I already told you, I’m here for my kiss.” Christina said as she puckered her lips and approached him. Orion quickly grabbed a book and put it between him and her lips. Christina planted a wet kiss on the book. “Get out of my house or I’m gonna shove this where the sun don’t shine.” Orion yelled. “Um, kinky alright I’ll play along.” Christina said turning around and exposing her plot hole.” Orion drooled a little. “What is going on here?” Dazzle yelled said from behind them. “Oh nothing, Orion and I were just having a little fun.” Christina said with a smirk on her face. “Is this true.” Dazzle said with tears in her eyes. “No she is lying.” Orion said. Dazzle started crying and ran down the hallway. “Dazzle come back, please.” Orion yelled. “Shining and Cadence walked in to see Christina. “Can’t you just leave our family alone and stay the hell away from us?” Shining yelled. “You should talk to you dad, he can’t stay away from my plot.” Christina said with a giggle. Cadence stepped forward and slapped her across the face. “Ever come my family again and I’ll kill you bitch!” Cadence said. Christina ran off crying. “That was awesome.” Shining said. “Yeah well I’m full of surprises.” Cadence said wrapping a hoof around Shining. “Do you wanna hear another?” “Sure.” Shining said. “Cadence leaned in and whispered into his ear. Shining fainted and fell to the floor. “He took it better than I thought.” Cadence said with a giggle. Dazzle laid on her bed and cried her eyes out. Orion slowly walked into the room. “Baby It’s really not what It sounds like.” Orion said. “Well what am I supposed to believe?” Dazzle said rolling over with the tears in her eyes. “She is just trying to screw with us, she is just mad because of you stood up to her on her show.” Orion said. “So nothing happened between you two?” Dazzle said. “Of course not I would never do that to you and the kids.” Orion said hugging his wife. “Okay.” Dazzle said as she returned the hug. Cadence walked in carrying Shining over her back. “Are you two okay?” Cadence asked. “Much better now.” Dazzle said. “What happened to Shining?” Orion asked. Cadence smiled and spoke “I’ll told him one of my secrets.” “And that was?” Orion said. “That she’s pregnant.” Shining mumbled. It had been a little over a month since anyone had heard from Christina. Dazzle, Twilight and Cadence once again were once again shopping for things for the foal. “I’m going to be a big sister and an aunt.” Twilight said. “You certainly lucky Twilight.” Cadence said. “But are you planning on adding mother to that list?” Twilight blushed. “I wouldn’t mind being one but I have yup to find the right stallion.” Twilight said with a frown. “Oh don’t worry honey I’m sure you will.” Dazzle said. Twilight sighed. “Thanks mom.” Twilight said sarcastically. The three mares continued to walk around the shops. “I’m hungry you wanna, snack?” Dazzle said. “Sure.” Twilight and Cadence said as they followed her. Dazzle walked up to the counter and ordered. “Excuse me, I would like a blueberry muffin and a chocolate milk.” “Sure thing dear.” The mare at the counter said. She looked up and Dazzle. “Oh my gosh your Dazzle.” She said. Dazzle was confused. “I’m sorry do I know you?” Dazzle said. “No but I read about you in the paper, and I supported you since the beginning.” The mare said. “Oh that nice to know that someone approved of the foal.” Dazzle said. “That’s why I was so said to hear about the scandal.” The mare said. “What scandal?” Dazzle said. “The scandal where you’re husband had an affair.” The mare said sympathetically. “What!” Dazzle screamed. Twilight and Cadence were quickly at her side. “What happened?” Twilight said. “What did you say to her?” Cadence said. “Oh are you gonna beat me up too?” The mare said. “What, why would I beat you up?” Cadence said. The mare handed her a newspaper. The three mares looked at the front page and gasped. “Orion came onto me, and Princess Cadence beat me up to try and silence me. Christina Clydesdale says all.” “That bitch!” the three yelled simultaneously. Dazzle grabbed a knife from the table and walked the exit. “Mom where are you going?” Twilight said concerned. “I’m going to cut that…..AWWWW!” Dazzle said as she fell to the ground. Twilight and Cadence looked to see a large puddle that seemed to amass from between Dazzle’s legs.” “Oh my god, the foal is coming.” Dazzle said as she grabbed her belly and cried out in pain. “I’m gonna go find Orion and Shining.” Cadence said as she spread her wings and took off into the air. “Twilight please get me to the hospital.” Dazzle said. Twilight picked her up and walked her through the street. “Don’t worry mom, I won’t let anything happen you or the foal.” Twilight said walking off with her mom.
Chapter 6 Twilight had walked Dazzle down several blocks before hailing a cab. The young stallion who picked them up didn't understand the severity of the situation, and casually stopped and picked up the two mares as he would any other customer. As the two got into the coach, Twilight yelled to the cabbie "Get us to the hospital, and please hurry." The cabbie turned around to assess the situation. "Is someone hurt?" he asked, slightly panicked. Dazzle screamed as a contraction rocked her body. "Get us to the damn hospital!" she yelled. Frightened by her screams, the cabbie bolted down the road with the carriage behind him. The cab rushed down the streets at incredible speeds. In the rocking carriage, Twilight looked down at her mother. Dazzle was sweating profusely from her forehead. "This can't be happening, not now at least, the foal isn't due for another mouth." Twilight babbled, panicking. Dazzle let out another loud scream and cried. "I'm not having my baby in a dirty cab." The cabbie looked back at her. "Hey, know I take offense to that." "Keep your eyes on the road!" Twilight screamed. The cabbie refocused on the road and continued sprinting onward. After several minutes of intense driving, the cab had found its way to the hospital. Twilight quickly helped her mother out of the cab. The cabbie yelled after them. "That's 65 bits!" "Just piss off!" Twilight yelled angrily back at the cabbie. Twilight walked her mother through the doors and got her into one of the wheelchairs by the door. "Twilight?" Dazzle said dizzily. "Yes mom?" Twilight said as she pushed her mother down the hallway. "I don't feel so good," Dazzle said. A terrifying jolt raced through her body. Twilight looked into Dazzle's eyes to see them rolling up. Dazzle's body convulsed and suddenly stopped. She fell backward into her seat. "Mom," Twilight said trying to walk her up. Twilight nudged her slightly to try and wake her up but she did not come to. "Mom, wake up!" Twilight yelled as she placed her hoof to Dazzle's chest. Twilight cried when she felt nothing. "Somepony, help me!” Twilight screamed at the top of her lungs. Several doctors and nurses heard her call and ran over to help. They took Dazzle out of her chair and loaded her onto a stretcher. "Please help her, she just went into labor," Twilight said as they carted her into the operating room. Twilight sat in the waiting room crying her eyes out as she waited to hear any news on her mother’s situation. The doctors got her into a room and lifted her onto a bed. The first thing they did was check her pulse. The reading that they got measured her heart rate at 32 beats per minute. They placed a respirator on Dazzle and got her breathing again. "Prepare a defibrillating spell," one of the doctors told one of the nurses. "But she's pregnant! The shock could kill the foal!" the nurse said. "Either we risk the life of the foal or wait and both of them die," the doctor said. The nurses and other doctors discussed amongst each other and nodded their heads. One of the doctors began to cast a spell. Static electricity started to build around the tip of her horn. She suddenly touched her horn to Dazzle's chest. An electric jolt coursed through her body. "Nothing happened, do it again," one of the doctors said. The unicorn charged her defib spell until static built around the tip of her horn. "Clear!" she yelled as she touched Dazzle's chest with her horn. The beeping of the pulse monitor grew more frequent. The doctors and nurses sighed in relief as her heart rate slowly returned to normal. "Dazzle, can you hear me?" one of the doctors said, trying to wake her up. Dazzle slowly opened one of her eyes and looked up at the doctor. "What happened? Where I'm I?" she asked, confused. "You're in a hospital; you had a heart attack," the doctor said. Dazzle screamed "The foal?" "We don't know yet," the doctor said. Dazzle let her face fall into her hooves and cried. Orion, Shining and Cadence had just arrived at the hospital. They entered the door and saw Twilight crying in the lobby. The three suddenly ran to her side and gathered around her. "Twilight, what happened? Where is your mother?" Twilight tried to talk but could only mumble. "Mom...mom...went into...la...bor...and then she...she was taken...away," Twilight cried. Shinning ran to the front receptionist. "Where is the unicorn named Dazzle being kept?" Shinning asked. The mare at reception looked into her files and spoke. "Ahh, she is being kept in the delivery ward." "Oh, thank Celestia," Shinning said. Orion, Cadence and Twilight walked over to him. "Where is she?" Cadence asked. "It's fine, she's in the delivery ward," Shinning said as he walked. "But her seizure…" Twilight said. "What seizure?" Orion yelled. "Mom had some kind of spasm and passed out," Twilight said. Orion ran toward the delivery ward to find his wife. Orion entered the delivery ward and starting searching the rooms for Dazzle. A doctor saw him as he was doing this. "Excuse me, but what are you doing?" she said. "I'm looking for my wife," Orion said, panicking. "What is her name?" the doctor said. "Dazzle, have you seen her?" Orion said. The doctor sighed. "I need to discuss something with you," the doctor said grimily. Dazzle sat in her bed, crying her eyes out. The door slowly opened and Orion ran inside. "Orion!" Dazzle cried out as she continued to ball. "Are you okay?" Orion said as he grabbed his wife and pulled her in. "The foal?" Dazzle asked with extreme fear in her voice. Orion had tears rolling down his eyes. "They don't think so." Dazzle and Orion held each other until the doctor arrived. "Are you ready to try?" the doctor said. Dazzle sadly nodded her head. The doctor injected her with a drug that would induce birth. Within the hour, Dazzle had begun her contractions. Orion held her hoof tightly as she gave birth. After what seemed like an eternity, the foal made an appearance. "Push!" the doctor yelled. Dazzle gave one final push, and the foal was out. The doctor wrapped the foal in a blanket. Dazzle and Orion started to cry as they assumed the worst. Suddenly the sound of high pitched crying was heard. "Congratulations, it’s a little filly.” The doctor came back and handed the crying foal to Dazzle. She and Orion looked at their little filly; she was a sky blue unicorn with maroon mane. "She is so beautiful." Orion said as he looked at his beautiful baby girl. "Thank you, Celestia!" Dazzle screamed. "What would you like to name her?" the doctor said. "She's going to be named after her sister," Orion said. "Her name is Aurora Sparkle," Dazzle said. "I'm gonna go and get the kids." Orion said, as he walked out the door. Twilight sat with Cadence and Shining. She had stayed up all night waiting for any news. She looked over and saw Cadence curled up with Shining. Twilight decided that she would just rest her eyes for a second, and Twilight was soon sleeping. She was awoken when she felt a tugging at her hoof. She slowly opened her eyes and saw that it was her father. "What happened daddy?" she said nervously. "Twilight, would you like to meet your baby sister?" Orion said.
Chapter 7Twilight walked with her father through the double doors that led to the delivery ward. They continued walking until they came to Dazzle's room. Twilight and Orion slowly entered the room and saw Dazzle lying in her bed with little Aurora wrapped in a blanket. "Twilight, this is your baby sister, Aurora Twilight Sparkle," Dazzle said as she held her little filly. A joyful tear rolled down Twilight's cheek as she looked at Aurora. "You named her after me?" Twilight asked. "Yes, because we want Aurora and you to always be united, as sisters and family," Orion said as he gently rubbed Twilight’s mane. Twilight looked at her baby sister. Slowly, Aurora opened her eyelids to reveal her deep violet eyes. She looked up at Twilight and smiled. "Hi Aurora, I'm your big sister, Twilight." Aurora yawned and shut her eyes once again. A nurse walked in. "May I take the foal to the paediatric wing?" she said. Twilight, Dazzle and Orion looked at one another before Dazzle said yes. "Twilight, will you give Aurora to her?" Dazzle asked. Twilight went over to her and delicately picked up the sleeping filly. Aurora whined a little as she did, but settled down after getting in her sisters arms. "See you soon, little sis’," Twilight whispered as she handed the sleeping filly to the nurse. As the nurse walked away with Aurora, Twilight returned to her mother. "Mom, are you sure that everything is going to be okay?" Twilight said. "The doctor said I should be fine." Dazzle said as she lay back in her seat. "I just wanna know why you had a heart attack." Orion said anxiously. "Well, I have the answer to that," a doctor said as she came into the room. "Why did I, doctor?" Dazzle said. "Well based on our findings, we've determined that your heart attack was the result was stress," the doctor said. "She had a heart attack because she was stressed?" Orion asked. "Well, it really is not that simple," the doctor said. "Usually, when ponies have stress related heart attacks, it is due to the fact that they build up their stress over time, but in your case it was a single stressful event that caused it," explained the doctor. Dazzle's eyes went wide; she knew what had happened. "Do you remember what you were doing when your heart attack occurred?" Orion asked. Dazzle sighed. "Excuse me doctor, but could you step out of the room for a second?" Dazzle asked. "Of course,” said the doctor as she turned and walked out the door. Twilight also walked out the door. "I'm going to see if Shining and Cadence are awake." Orion watched as she walked out. He then turned to his wife. "What is all this about?" he asked. Dazzle levitated the remote of her TV. She clicked it on and turned it to a certain channel. On screen was Christina Clydesdale ranting about how she was abused. "And then he told me about all of the nasty, vile things he wanted to do to me." Christina said with tears running down her eyes. "I believe it was you that wanted that book in your ass!" Orion yelled at the TV. Dazzle shushed him as they continued to watch the TV. "The entire Sparkle family has it out for me," Christina said she continued to cry. "They have assaulted me multiple times in retaliation of the harmless interview on my show." Dazzle and Orion looked at each other nervously as she continued to talk. "I just want to know why the royal guard have not arrested Cadence and Orion; maybe it is due to the fact that Shining Armor controls the entire guard," Christina said with spite. "This is not going to look good at all," Dazzle said. "Anypony that doesn't know what really happened is going to assume the worst," Orion said as he paced across the room. "Do we need to get a lawyer?" Dazzle said, deeply concerned. “I don't know if we should, but Shining and Cadence are definitely going to need one," Orion said. "Why would we need a lawyer?" Shining asked. Orion and Dazzle turned their attention to the doorway and saw Shining and Cadence. "We think that the guard is going to arrest Cadence," Orion said. Cadence gasped and Shining screamed. "That is not going to happen; I won't let it happen." Suddenly, a flash of light appeared from the corner of the room, and out from it walked Celestia. "Princess, what are you doing here?" Dazzle asked. "Well, I had heard that Dazzle had given birth, and I wanted to see the foal. Unfortunately, that is only part of the reason I have come," Celestia said. "What is the other reason?" Dazzle asked. "Well, it involves my niece and my guards' captain," Celestia said. "I'm not going to let them do it!" Shining yelled. "We don't have a choice; ponies are rioting outside the castle right now demanding that the arrest be made." "So you're going to arrest your own niece just to please a crowd of rioters? What kind of aunt are you?" "I love my niece, but it doesn't change the fact that she did assault that reporter," Celestia said. "If I’m supposed to order my men to arrest Cadence, then I am going to relinquish my position as captain." Shining said with his head down. "No!" Cadence screamed. Everypony looked at her. "I want to be arrested," she said. Shining walked over to her and said "You can't, what about the foal?" "We'll be fine, but I want you to arrest me; that way you'll know I'm safe," Cadence said. Shining looked to Celestia once again. "Can we at least wait until tomorrow?" "That would be fine." Celestia said. "Thank you." Shining said, as he held Cadence. "Not trying to be rude, but I really need some sleep." Dazzle said. "Oh, of course. I really would like to see the foal anyway." Celestia said as she walked toward the door. Twilight looked through the window into the nursery. There were many foals sleeping in their cribs, but the only one she was looking at was the little unicorn named Aurora. She looked at the filly while she slept. She couldn't wait to see her little baby sister once again. "So this is Aurora Twilight Sparkle," Celestia said behind her. Twilight quickly turned around and saw the princess behind her. "Oh no, did I forget to send my report?" she said in a panic. "Fear not my student, I am not here on business." "Oh, good," Twilight said before returning to her sister. "She is very beautiful; you must be so happy." Celestia said. "Of course I am, I'm a big sister now!" Twilight said. "It is one of the greatest honors in life," Celestia said. "Of course, being an aunt is pretty high up there as well." "I am so excited for that as well. Speaking of which, where is Cadence?" Twilight asked. "I believe she is with Shining." Celestia said. Shining and Cadence made their out of the hospital "So this is our last night before I am sent to jail," Cadence said. "I guess it is. Is there anything you want to do tonight?" Shining asked. Cadence thought to herself. "Tonight I want to go home, have dinner and watch a movie. Do you think we can do that?" Cadence asked. Shining smiled. "Whatever you want, my princess." The two leaned close and kissed before beginning the walk home.
Chapter 8A week had passed since the birth of Aurora, and she was finally ready to be taken home. Orion pushed a stroller out the door of the hospital as Dazzle walked behind him. As they made their way out of the hospital, they were approached by a swarm of reporters and paparazzi. “Dazzle, why do you stand by your husband after knowledge of his sexual harassment surfaced?” one of them asked. “Uh, no comment,” Dazzle said, confused. “Orion, did you have sexual relations with Christina Clydesdale?” another reporter said. “Of course not.” Orion snapped back at him. The paparazzi suddenly began snapping photos at them. The relentless flashing of the cameras were too bright for Aurora’s eyes and she began to cry. “Stop it; you’re hurting her eyes!” Dazzle screamed. Orion put a blanket over her eyes and a bottle in her mouth to stop her crying. The family began to run home, leaving the paparazzi behind. After running several blocks, they finally arrived home. Orion opened the door and Dazzle pushed the foal in. Dazzle looked out the peephole and saw that several reporters were making their way up to their door. Dazzle quickly locked it and hung the curtains up. Orion fell back on the couch with his daughter lying on his belly. Dazzle looked at her husband and daughter lying on the couch. Aurora began to cutely snore as she slept. “I’m so glad we are finally home,” Dazzle said as she lay next to her husband. Orion leaned over and kissed her. “Do you think that we should put her to bed?” Dazzle said. Orion nodded and carefully picked her up and walked over to Aurora’s room. Orion set the little filly in her crib and covered her with a blanket. He shut the door and lay back down next to his wife. Dazzle and Orion nuzzled each other as they held one another. Suddenly, a knocking was heard at the door. Orion sighed as he stood up and walked over to the door. He opened the door, and in walked Twilight, carrying several large bags. “Oh, hi Twilight,” Orion said as he walked past him. “Hi, mom; hi, dad,” Twilight said as she set her bags down. “Can I see Aurora?” “Of course,” Dazzle said as she got off of the couch and walked over to the door of Aurora’s room. “Do you think I could foal sit Aurora tonight?” Twilight asked. Dazzle looked back at her, concerned. “I’m not sure you’re ready to look after her just yet.” Twilight was flabbergasted. “I assure you that I could do it; I’ve looked after plenty of foals.” “We’ll see,” Dazzle said. Twilight walked in and saw her little sister sleeping away in the crib. As Twilight took a step closer to her sister’s crib, the floor board creaked under her step. Aurora heard the creak and woke up, beginning to cry. Twilight and Dazzle covered their ears as the filly continued to wail. Twilight went over to her little sister and picked her up out of the crib. She began to rock the little filly. Aurora stopped crying and Twilight held her close again. “See, it’s that easy,” Twilight said, deeply impressed by her accomplishment. Aurora then soiled herself, and Twilight’s entire body cringed as the terrible smell passed by her nose. “My Celestia,” Twilight said, as she handed the filly to Dazzle. “Twilight, you have a lot to learn about foals,” she said as she set the filly on the changing table and changed her diaper. Twilight had recovered from the smell and was at her mom’s side. “Maybe you’re right about me waiting bit before babysitting her,” Twilight said embarrassed. “Well, you did better than Cadence, when she first smelled one of your diapers,” Dazzle said as she put another diaper on Aurora. “What happened?” Twilight asked, slightly embarrassed. “She threw up on the floor,” Dazzle said, laughing. Shining Armor had arrived at the jail. He walked down the corridors until he came to the visitor’s center. As he pushed his way into the room, he saw Cadence sitting there. Shining smiled as he finally saw his wife. “Shining!” she yelled as she ran up to him and tackled him to the ground. Shining pulled his wife into a kiss. “I’ve missed so much,” Shining said. “So have we,” Cadence said as she rubbed her slight enlarged belly. “Well, they say that you have can leave,” Shining said ecstatically. “Really?” Cadence joyfully screamed. “Yup,” Shining said, taking her hoof and escorting her toward the exit. Twilight sat on the couch, holding Aurora in her hooves. “Has the press given you any trouble?” Orion asked. “Not really, but lots have ponies have asked me if you had an affair with Christina Clydesdale.” Orion sighed and thought. “What are you thinking about?” Dazzle asked him. “I’m trying to figure out why Christina hates us so much,” Orion said. “Maybe she’s the Changeling Queen trying to get her revenge on our family,” Twilight said. “That’s a bit of a stretch, don’t you think?” Dazzle said. “Maybe she’s hiding something,” Orion said. “And for some reason it has something to do with us?” Twilight said. Dazzle began to think. “You wanna get her back?” “What do you suggest?” Orion asked. “She embarrassed us, so we’re going to embarrass her on her show,” Dazzle said. “All we have to figure out is how.” “I know how,” Cadence said. Everypony looked over and saw her and Shining standing in the doorway. “Cadence, you’re back,” Orion said. “Indeed I am,” Cadence said as she sat down on the couch. “Here is what we’re going to do…” Twilight teleported to the studio where the Christina Clydesdale Show was about to be filmed. Her horn flashed, and she was suddenly dressed in her black latex jumpsuit. As she entered, she carefully made her way through the hallways until she came up to Christina’s dressing room. She carefully entered the room and saw Christina’s snacks and cup of tea lying on the table. Twilight made her way over to the table and pulled out a bag of blue dust. She sprinkled it on her food and poured the rest of it into the tea. Twilight then heard some hoof steps outside the door. Twilight quickly hid underneath the table as Christina entered the room, quickly eating a few of the snacks and drinking the tea. “That’s right, stuff your face, you bitch,” Twilight thought to herself. She could hardly wait for Christina to embarrass herself on live T.V. Now all she had to do was wait for the poison joke to take effect.
Chapter 9Twilight stayed hidden under the table while Christina prepped for her show. The brown mare stood in front of a mirror while several other mares applied her makeup and styled her hair. Twilight could hardly contain her amusement as she awaited the effects of the poison joke to take effect. A stallion came into her room and said. “Five minutes till we’re on.” Christina gestured her stylists to step away and she walked toward the door. The stylist walked out after her and Twilight was finally alone in the room. She had crawled out from under the table and prepared to walk out the door. As she pressed the door open she felt it being pulled as well. The door suddenly opened and the stallion from before walked in. Twilight screamed as she’d been discovered. “What are you doing here?” the stallion asked. “I….I’m” Twilight said panicked. “Go on say it.” The stallion said once again. “Well I was playing a prank on Christina Clydesdale.” Twilight said embarrassed. The stallion didn’t say anything at first then he suddenly said. “Uh finally someone stands up to that miserable bitch.” “Huh,” Twilight said confusingly. “I have just been waiting for someone to give her a taste of her own medicine.” The stallion said. “Oh I thought you were going to report me or something.” Twilight said relived. “Will you tell me your name?” the stallion said to Twilight. “Oh my name is Twilight Sparkle.” Twilight said as she pulled her hood from her latex suit off. “Oh you’re the daughter of Dazzle and Orion right?” The stallion said. “Yes I am.” Twilight said smiling. “What is your name?” “Oh I’m Check Mark.” The stallion said. “What do you do around here?” Twilight asked. “Oh well I am in charge of basically making checklist and keeping records.” Check Mark said. Twilight’s eyes shined. “That sounds like a great job.” Twilight said. “Really?” Check Mark said. “Yes, I mean it.” Twilight said. “What was your prank on Christina?” Check Mark asked. “I put poison joke in her tea.” Twilight said giggling. Check Mark started laughing as well. “Well you want to watch?” Check Mark said. “Of course.” Twilight said. The two took a seat on the couch and turned on the TV in the room. On the screen Christina had just taken her seat. In the Sparkle home. Dazzle and Orion sat with Aurora sitting between them. “Do you think she did it?” Orion said. “I guess we’ll have to wait and see.” Dazzle said. Shining and Cadence suddenly burst through the door. “Is it on?” Shining yelled as he jumped onto the couch. “It just started” Orion said. “Do you know if she put the poison joke in her food?” Dazzle asked.” “She made it inside and that was the last we saw of her.” Christina was sitting in her seat, talking to her audience. “I know what you want to know, I have recovered from being beaten by Princess Cadence.” Christina said. “Also did you hear that Dazzle had her baby, she also had a heart attack.” Christina said with a giggle in her voice. “BBBBBBUUUUUUUURPPPP!” Christina suddenly belched. The audience suddenly erupted in massive laughter. Christina covered her mouth and got up blushed. “Sorry everypony I had a soda.” Anyway I am pleased to inform you that I received justice after my assault. Christina suddenly fell on her flank and she began to scoot across the floor like a dog with worms might. Christina face was stuck with horror as she did this. All the while the audience was laughing profusely. Christina sudden was able to stand up. “What’s going on,” Christina said. She suddenly turned her flank toward the audience and rose her tail. “FFFFFLAAAAAAPPPPTTTT” roared from Christina’s flank. All the plants on her stage suddenly died, sending the audience into a fit of laughter and coughing. Christina’s cheeked suddenly turned an extremely deep shade of red possible. Her coat and mane suddenly changed colors from white to black to every color on the rainbow. While this went on, the Sparkle family sat back in laughter at the glorious site which they were currently watching. Christina’s coat had finally stopped changing colors. Nothing happened for a moment when Christina hopped up on her hind legs and started doing the Gangnam Style dance. Several members of the audience being doing the dace as well. Christina began sneezing and as she did, tuffs of her hair fell of her body. Until she was left completely naked on the stage. The audience’s laughter reached enormously high levels, the highest that they had ever been. “Stop laughing at me!” Christina yelled. She tried to run backstage but only her back hind legs ran while her front seemed to scoot across the floor. The audience gave one final laugh and broke out into thunderous applause. “YAAAAAAYY” Twilight and Check Mark said together. The Sparkle family’s plan had worked out perfectly and it couldn’t have gone better. “Well do you think you got a great revenge?” Check Mark asked. “Oh I did and it was perfect, I doubt Christina will ever torment our family again.” Twilight said ecstatically. “I doubt she will ever even show her face ever again.” Check Mark said with a laugh. Twilight looked at him and blushed. “What is it?” Check Mark said. Twilight leaned over hugged him. "Thank you for being so nice to me." Twilight said to her new friend. "Oh don't mention it, I am just glad to see someone brave enough to stick up to that tight flanked twat." Check Mark said laughing. "So you promise not to tell on me." Twilight said. "Oh don't worry I won't tell a soul." Check Mark said. A rattle was heard on the handle of the door. "Check Mark, you useless idiot, open this door. Twilight quietly shrieked. "I have to go." Twilight said as she prepared to teleport away. "Wait, will you be alright?" Twilight asked. "Oh don't worry she jut yells a lot and that's it." Check Mark said. "Now you really need to get out of here." He said in a hushed yell. Twilight flashed a away and was gone.
Chapter 10Twilight happily skipped to the home of her parents. A smile of victory hung high on her face. Her mission of infiltrating Christina Clydesdale's studio and sabotaging her show was a complete success. She eagerly returned home to join her family's celebration. As she arrived at the house, she was covered by hugs of gratitude. "I knew you could do it, Twily," Shining said as he held his sister in and ruffled her hair. Cadence and her pregnant belly moved towards Twilight and wrapped her hooves around the lavender mare. "That was amazing; you pulled it off perfectly,” Cadence said. Dazzle and Orion also walked toward their daughter and held her. "I think it's finally over," Dazzle said. "After this, I doubt that Christina will ever say anything on her show ever again," Orion said as he took his seat back on the couch. Sitting next to him was the sleeping Aurora. The little filly was picked up by her father and rocked gently. She opened her eyes. She smiled and reached out at her father's muzzle. "Who's daddy’s little angel?" Orion said in a baby voice. Twilight walked over to her father and joined him on the couch. Aurora saw Twilight and reached out for her as well. Orion slowly handed the little filly to his daughter. Twilight brought her little in for a hug and the little foal wrapped her hooves around her sister. Suddenly Aurora put her lips to her sister's teat and tried to suckle. It caught Twilight so off guard that she screamed a little. Dazzle saw what was happening and rushed over to Twilight. She snatched Aurora up and took her in her hooves. "No Aurora, that's not mommy!" Dazzle yelled as she did. Twilight quickly stood up. "Sorry everyone, but I should go; we'll have to celebrate some other night," Twilight said as she walked toward the door. Shining looked at the clock on the wall and saw that it was getting rather late. "Sorry everyone; Cadence and I should be going as well," he said he helped his pregnant wife to her hooves. The two left and Dazzle and Orion were finally alone with their baby. Dazzle scooted closer to her husband. He held her close and ran his hoof through her mane. "I love you so much," Orion said. "I love you, too; and thank you for giving us our little filly," Dazzle said as she held Aurora. A small rumble was heard from Aurora's belly. "Sounds like someone is hungry." Orion said. "Would you feed her? I'm sore," Dazzle said with a giggle. Orion simply rolled his eyes. Dazzle lifted up a small blanket and placed it over Aurora as she fed her. The filly made little sucking noise as she nursed. "Doesn't that hurt?" Orion asked. "Believe me, it hurts a lot more when she doesn't feed." Dazzle said as she fed her baby. Later that night Dazzle, Orion and Aurora slept in bed. Orion held Dazzle and she was snuggling her foal. Aurora began to scream. The screams instantly awoke Orion and Dazzle. "Will you take this one?" Dazzle said muffled by the pillow. "Ugh, sure," Orion said as he got out of bed and picked up his daughter. He slowly rocked her and patted her back. Aurora burped and stopped crying. Orion became extremely proud of his accomplishment. "See babe, it's that simple." Orion said. "Oh you're the man," Dazzle said. Aurora suddenly vomited everywhere and Orion was covered in his daughter’s puke. "Sure glad I didn't take this one," Dazzle said with a giggle. "Hey, I got the easy one; it may have come out the front, but I bet it's coming out the back your turn," Orion said with a laugh.
