  1. >the early morning light shines through the glass windows, warming up the room
  2. >your eyes slowly crack open, and you start to wake up
  3. >stretching your back, and turning off your laptop, you get out of bed and walk out to the balcony
  4. >the soft orange sunrise crept over the horizon, sending away the gloomy darkness
  5. >you lean against the railing, looking over the little town of Ponyville
  6. >it must have been around 6 in the morning, but you didn't care at the moment
  7. >all you could think about was Rainbow Dash, and her upsetting outburst yesterday
  8. >one recurring thought haunted you the most
  9. >'I'M NOT READY TO BE A MOM!'
  10. >the phrase echoed in your mind, and made you very unnerved
  11. >what could she have meant by that?
  12. >you hoped that maybe she just ran off to her home in Cloudsdale, or someplace safe...
  13. >you were all alone that night, you didn't notice how much you were used to sleeping with Rainbow
  14. "*sigh*... Rainbow, wherever you are... I'm sorry..."
  15. >you slouch over the metal rail, like a wrung-out towel
  16. >the light was brightening up the lush forests and houses of ponies
  17. >you exhale deeply
  18. >never before had you felt this depressed, almost on the verge of tears
  19. "I'm... so sorry."
  20. >the sound of flapping wings through the air grabs your attention
  21. >turning your head to the right, your heart skipped a beat
  22. >Rainbow floated down to the balcony, then tucked her wings away
  23. "R-rainbow?"
  24. >RD:"Hey Anon..."
  25. >you immediately land on your knees and embrace her
  26. >RD:"I'm... sorry about-"
  27. "Shhh. Rainbow, its fine."
  28. >you keep on hugging her, and she starts to hug back
  29. "Rainbow... I should be the one to say sorry."
  30. >RD:"Why? I'm the one who freaked out."
  31. "I know but... I didn't realize how much that stuff meant to you."
  32. >she leans back from the hug
  33. >RD:"Anon, I was just... afraid, y'know? Its just that, I know we're... not the same. But I just wanted to make sure..."
  34. >under one of her wings, she pulls out a small letter in an envelope and hands it to you
  35. >RD:"Take a look..."
  36. >you open the letter and unfold it
  37. >the paper was from the Ponyville Hospital, seen by the stamp at the top
  38. >listed below the line marked;
  39. >'Patient name: Rainbow Dash'
  40. >'Reason for check-in: pregnancy test'
  41. >'Results: negative'
  42. >you lower the piece of paper to see your lover beginning to cry
  43. >moving off of your knees and taking a seat on the balcony floor, you sit next to her and wrap your arm around her
  44. >RD:"F-figured as much, r-right?"
  45. >she tries to choke back her tears
  46. >your taken aback by her behavior
  47. >she looks to you, tears now in full control
  48. >RD:"Anon, I-I would be more than happy to have kids with you."
  49. "But you weren't actually ready for the responsibility?"
  50. >she nods
  51. "You know, I probably wasn't either. The sex was amazing though."
  52. >RD:"*sniff*D-dammit Anon, I'm trying to be sad here."
  53. >the mix of melancholy spreads between you and Dash, along with a soft chuckle
  54. >using your thumb, you wipe off a tear from her cheek
  55. >you both turn back to the rising sun, almost fully over the horizon
  56. "Rainbow?"
  57. >RD:"Yeah?"
  58. "...Would you like to have kids someday, even if they weren't... from me?"
  59. >RD:"Like, adopted?"
  60. "Maybe."
  61. >RD:"...I'd like that Anon."
  62. >you both smile and hug some more
  63. >now the sun made it over the horizon's edge, fully illuminating the landscape
  64. >RD:"But Anon, even if there was a chance... I'd still want to have a foal myself..."
  65. "...Really?"
  66. >RD:"Yeah."
  67. >her expression changed into a sad, blank one
  68. >an idea popped into your noggin
  69. >taking the hospital letter, you begin to fold and crease the paper
  70. >RD:"...What are you doing?"
  71. >you continue to make the folds, until you complete the craft work
  72. >a near-perfect paper airplane was now in your hands
  73. >RD:"What is that?"
  74. >you show a light smile at her
  75. >standing up, you look out at the scenery below the castle
  76. "I'm letting go of our problems."
  77. >she stands up and hops against the railing to watch you
  78. >aiming your arms, you chuck the aircraft as hard as you could
  79. >both of you watch the little airplane fly through the wind, twirling and turning, until it goes out of sight
  80. >RD:"That was sweet Anon, whatever you did..."
  81. >you chuckle
  82. "Come on, lets go back inside and let everyone know you're okay."
  83. >Rainbow nods in agreement
  84. >you open the glass door and let her in first, then follow behind
  85.  
  86. >the airplane floats softly through the wind, until a sudden gust changes it's course
  87. >instead of flying away from the castle to the forest, it does an about-face and heads back
  88. >somehow it slips through a small open window into an occupant's room
  89. >it crashes with the crinkling of the nose against the wall
  90. >"What the-"
  91. >a pink aura of magic picks up the airplane
  92. >"What in Equestria is this?"
  93. >the magic unfolds the paper back into it's original form
  94. >"...*gasp*!"
  95.  
  96. ===
  97.  
  98. >you follow Rainbow through the castle towards the dining hall
  99. >god damn you'd need a map to find your way around in here
  100. >at last the great big doors to the hall came into view, with two guards standing at the front
  101. >Rainbow leans towards you and whispers
  102. >RD:*Anon?*
  103. "Yeah?"
  104. >RD:*...If anypony asks, lets just agree that I went home last night, okay?*
  105. >you start to whisper too
  106. *Rainbow, I'm sure if you tell them they'll understand, they're your friends.*
  107. >RD:*sigh* *I don't know, I'm not sure that I'm ready...*
  108. >your face frowns, but you ultimately agree with her
  109. *Fine, but when you're ready, I'll be with you, okay?*
  110. >she smiles softly, and nods
  111. >the guards see you approaching and open the doors
  112. >the whole group of friends turn to see you and Dash walking in
  113. >"RAINBOW DASH!"
  114. >the herd flocks to you and her
  115. >R:"Rainbow, are you alright dear?"
  116. >FS:"We were so worried when Twilight told us what happened."
  117. >her ears flop down and she shrugs her shoulders nervously
  118. >AJ:"Shoot Rainbow, you don't have to be scared 'round us. We're here for ya."
  119. >Applejack gives a friendly side-hug to Rainbow
  120. >FS:"So um, Rainbow Dash... what happened last night?"
  121. >Rainbow looks to you for assistance on the matter
  122. "Uh well, you probably know about the uh..."
  123. >R:"The outburst?"
  124. >you rub the back of your now sweating neck
  125. "Yeah..."
  126. >AJ:"Dashie was all worried about 'being a mom' as I recall."
  127. >Rainbow's hair almost turned ghost white
  128. >RD:"Uh-, I-, Um..."
  129. >she stutters trying to form a sentence
  130. >you work up the nerve to stand up for her
  131. "The only thing that happened was Rainbow just went back home and stayed the night there. She came back here around 6 o'clock."
  132. >the group stands silent while out of the corner of your eye you can see Rainbow visible trembling
  133. >Applejack stares at you like a western showdown
  134. >the one who unexpectedly broke the silence was Fluttershy
  135. >FS:"I-if you don't want to talk about it now, its alright Rainbow Dash."
  136. >R:"...I agree, lets just all have a nice calm morning, shall we?"
  137. >Sp:"Yeah, Pinkie Pie insisted she'd help make breakfast, she always said the chefs here lacked some quality or something."
  138. >TS:"She makes amazing pancakes, you should try them Anon!"
  139. "Uh... sure, Twilight."
  140. >Rainbow was still tense, but she gradually calmed down
  141. >you all sit at the large table, you and Rainbow next to each other
  142. >a burst from the kitchen door is followed by a pink pony riding on a food trolley
  143. >PP:"Wheee!"
  144. >she loops around the table and screeches to a halt at Twilight's spot
  145. >PP:"Who wants Pinkie-Pancakes?!"
  146. >she lifts off the silver platter and an impossible mountain of golden stacked pancakes shines in it's glory
  147. >you and the ponies collectively "Ooh!"
  148. >Pinkie then notices her rainbow-haired friend sitting next to you
  149. >PP:"R-Rainbow?!"
  150. >she bounds over to her and almost snuggles her to death
  151. >PP:"RainbowIwassoworriedaboutyouwhathappenedwheredidyougo-"
  152. >RD:"*ack!* P-Pinkie! I'm fine!"
  153. >the party horse lets go
  154. >PP:"Sorry, Dashie, I was just so worried about you!"
  155. >Twilight begins to levitate the pancakes onto the patron's plates, giving a rather big one to Spike
  156. >you noticed a few empty seats on the table
  157. "Um, are there more guests coming Twilight?"
  158. >TS:"Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that Princess-"
  159. >RD:"Its okay Pinkie, I really am fine."
  160. >AJ:"...Are ya?"
  161. >everyone now turned to the orange country pony
  162. >RD:"W-what?"
  163. >AJ:"Ah said, are ya really, Rainbow? Are you certain you're alright? Ah ain't dumb, Ah can tell when somepony is actin strange. And honey, you're more pale than the paint on the side of my barn."
  164. >the purple pupils in Rainbow's eyes shrink so small that you could barely see them
  165. >RD:"I-I-I, Don't know what you're getting at AJ."
  166. >AJ:"What I'm gettin at is the fact that you're hiding something from us, aren't ya?"
  167. "Hey, stop it, she doesn't want to talk about it now."
  168. >AJ:"Anon, I'm not trying to pry, I just want to know if my friend really is 'alright'."
  169. >she says with an aggressive tone in her southern draw
  170. >you lean over the table and point angrily at Applejack
  171. "I don't care if you -are- her friend, I'm not letting you harass my wife!"
  172. >RD:"Anon please, stop!"
  173. >now she leans over and starts to point at you
  174. >AJ:"And Ah don't care that yer her husband, she's my friend and I got the damn right to ask about her!"
  175. >Rarity and Fluttershy try to pull you and Applejack back down before a fight broke out
  176. >R:"Applejack sweetie, you need to relax!"
  177. >FS:"Anon, you REALLY need to stop, you're scaring Rainbow!"
  178. >TS:"Everypony please, calm down!"
  179. >AJ:"RAINBOW WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT?!"
  180. "YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP!"
  181. >Fluttershy can barely hold you by your t-shirt
  182. >Sp:"Man this is getting good."
  183. >he gnaws on a bit of pancake
  184. >Twilight scowls at him, which makes him stop chewing
  185. >Pinkie Pie jumps up on the table between you and Applejack
  186. >PP:"Everypony, QUIIIIIIIEEEEEETTTT!"
  187. >the dining hall went dead quiet, the pink pony's hairstyle coming fringed from it's normal slick posture
  188. >PP:"Applejack, Anon, SIT. DOWN."
  189. >you and AJ stare at her, then sit back in your seats
  190. >PP:"Apologize. NOW."
  191. >her teeth were grinding together
  192. "Sorry."
  193. >AJ:"...Sorry."
  194. >Pinkie now starts to calm down herself, but her mane now falls flat
  195. >PP:"Why are we all yelling at each other guys? Why all of this anger...?"
  196. >AJ:"...I-I'm just trying to take care of my friend."
  197. "And... I'm trying to help her too."
  198. >TS:"Then why are you so defensive for her?"
  199. >you look towards the now frightened purple alicorn at a loss for words
  200. >R:"Anon, the way you're acting is a clear sign of secrecy between you and Rainbow Dash. If you're hiding something from us, it's okay to tell-"
  201. >the group was interrupted again by the large doors of the dining hall
  202. >through the doorway stepped in a light pink colored alicorn with a diamond heart cutie mark
  203. >the group awkwardly stares at her
  204. >TS:"C-Cadence? W-what a surprise...! Eh-heh..."
  205. >Cd:"Oh my..."
  206. >Pinkie hops down from the tabletop
  207. >TS:"I-I didn't know you were coming this soon, I-"
  208. >Cadence's right wing rises and silences her
  209. >Cd:"Save it, Twi. I have business to discuss with Anon."
  210. >she looked pissed, very much at you
  211. >you watch as she walks straight to you and Rainbow Dash
  212. >from a small knapsack, she pulls out something you thought you had thrown away
  213. >the letter from the hospital
  214. >Cd:"Do you know anything about this, Anon?"
  215. >she hands the paper to you, dropping it in your palm
  216. >TS:"Cadence, what's going on?"
  217. "*sigh* ...Yes."
  218. >Cadence then looks at Rainbow
  219. >Cd:"Rainbow Dash, I know this is hard for you, but you -have- to tell them."
  220. >RD:"B-but..."
  221. >Cadence's whole expression now changes from anger to compassion
  222. "Cadence-"
  223. >then back to anger, as she glares into your soul
  224. >you hold your tongue
  225. >Rainbow hangs her head in shame, as she raises the letter up for everyone to see
  226. >Twilight takes it by magic and holds it close so she could read
  227. >TS:"You... got tested for pregnancy?"
  228. >[group simultaneously gasps]
  229. >R:"Rainbow Dash... we had no idea."
  230. >AJ:"Shoot..."
  231. >Applejack tips up her hat
  232. >all Rainbow could do was to lean over in her chair, stifling any choked tears as Cadence rubbed her shoulder
  233. >TS:"But the results are negative, why didn't she-"
  234. "Because she was afraid to be judged by you."
  235. >you finally had the balls to speak the truth
  236. >Dash looks up in surprise
  237. "Even though she can't get pregnant by me, she was afraid that what if somehow, it -did- happen?"
  238. >the group gave concerned looks at each other
  239. "If somehow she did get pregnant, she wasn't prepared for it, and she was afraid that her friends would judge and shame her for it."
  240. >PP:"Nonny... how could you say such a thing?"
  241. >R:"We would never think of her like that, even if you got her pregnant, you're her -husband-, and that's perfectly fine."
  242. >FS:"Yeah, we're your friends Rainbow Dash. No matter what happens."
  243. >Rainbow's face is in a complex mixture of a smile and sadness
  244. >Cd:"The letter somehow flew into my guest room, when read it I was in a mix of rage and sorrow for Rainbow. I'm... sorry I had to bring it up so harshly."
  245. >you rest your hand on her shoulder
  246. "*sigh* Its okay, sometimes when you need to make a point, you gotta be direct with it."
  247. >you look around at the ponies, and then to Rainbow Dash
  248. "Even if its hard to say, like the truth..."
  249. >you kneel, and you and Rainbow Dash hug, harder than any other
  250. >everyone else begin to tear up as well, even little Spike
  251. >RD:"I-I love you, Anon y. Mous."
  252. "I love you, R-Rainbow Dash."

  255.  
  256. >the sun has already left the evening sky and now it was the moon's turn to rise
  257. >today has been nothing but a rollercoaster of emotions
  258. >you and Rainbow were in bed, cuddling together
  259. >neither of you were asleep, but just lying there for each other
  260. >you lightly pet her mane, while she grasps your abdomen
  261. >all you did was stare up at the slow-moving ceiling fan
  262. >*knock knock*
  263. >you glance towards the door
  264. >Rainbow raises her head
  265. >Cd:"Anon, Rainbow, you awake?"
  266. >you lift up the covers and Rainbow moves towards the edge of the bed
  267. "Uh, yeah Cadence, come in."
  268. >she opens the door, walks in, and shuts it behind her
  269. >you offer her a chair, but she declines and sits on the floor
  270. >she's still tall enough to be neck high to you
  271. >Cd:"Anon, Rainbow, I know I was... rough on you guys, and I'm sorry."
  272. >you both turn your heads from her
  273. >Cd:"But if you want to keep a healthy marriage you have to be honest, with others and yourselves."
  274. >you look at Rainbow, who was still upset
  275. "...Thank you."
  276. >Cadence was surprised by your response
  277. "This has been hard, for both of us."
  278. >RD:"Anon."
  279. >she stares at you
  280. >RD:"Oh, I'm not one for sob stories, c'mere."
  281. >she lays her head on your side and you wrap your arm around her
  282. >Cd:"I'm glad you two are feeling better."
  283. >RD:"...Thanks, Cadence. It means a lot."
  284. >the princess smiles, but then her expression changes
  285. >Cd:"I know this question might be personal but..."
  286. >you lean closer to Cadence
  287. >Cd:"Would you and Rainbow ever consider to have foals of your own?"
  288. >Rainbow looks up at you, and you lay your hand on her hoof in comfort
  289. >RD:"...I think so, someday."
  290. >Cd:"What if... Anon could do it?"
  291. "Wait, what? What do you mean?"
  292. >Cd:"Well, me being the 'Princess of Love' and all, I have the ability to make the incapable... capable."
  293. >you and Rainbow Dash stare in confusion
  294. >Cd:"*sigh* I can make Anon fertile and able to have kids with you, Rainbow."
  295. "With a spell?"
  296. >she nods
  297. >RD:"R-really?"
  298. >Cd:"Only if you want me to. It's completely your choice."
  299. >you look into Rainbow's eyes, which lit up with a spark of hope
  300. >RD:"I-I don't know what to say."
  301. "I'm for it, but only if you are."
  302. >Rainbow Dash looks at Cadence, then back to you, unsure of what decision to make
  303.  
  304. (Based on the community's choice, the story arcs in the direction of Rainbow Dash saying yes to the spell.)
  305.  
  306. >you rub your hand on her hoof, and looked at her with an encouraging smile
  307. >Rainbow finally looked back at Cadence and nodded
  308. >Cd:"So its settled."
  309. "I'm ready... I guess."
  310. >Cadence stands up and tilts her horn towards you
  311. >Cd:"This will be over before you know it."
  312. "...I trust you."
  313. >RD:"Be careful."
  314. >Cadence focused her sight on you, and with a white beam of magic it shoots into your chest
  315. >you land backwards into the bed with a thump
  316. >RD:"Anon!!"
  317. "Ow...fuck."
  318. >the pain in your chest was short though, as it spread down to your nether regions
  319. "W-why are my uh... -things- burning?"
  320. >Cd:"Yeah... its a little side effect I can't control, Shining could barely-"
  321. >she stops mid sentence, and stares awkwardly at you and Rainbow Dash
  322. >Cd:"...Well gotta run, goodnight!"
  323. >the pink princess slips out the door in a flash
  324. >your balls felt like eggs frying in a skillet
  325. "Fuckfuckfuck-"
  326. >you grasp your crotch in pain
  327. >RD:"Whats wrong? A-are you hurt?"
  328. >the feeling of an atom bomb exploding hits you right in the nuts
  329. > a loud "AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" could be heard throughout the castle
  330.  
  331. ===
  332.  
  333. >*beep-beep-beep-beep-*
  334. >the sound of machinery woke you from your sleep
  335. "Augh... what happened..."
  336. >you look around and notice you're not in the same bed as the night before
  337. >RD:"*gasp!* Anon!"
  338. >you beloved blue pegasus appears at your side with a hug
  339. >RD:"Are you feeling okay?"
  340. >you notice the pain in your testicles was gone
  341. "Uh yeah... What happened last night, Rainbow Dash?"
  342. >RD:"Well, after Cadence did that spell on you, you were yelling 'My balls are on fire!', and then you passed out."
  343. >a depressed feeling of guilt overcomes you as you wipe both of your hands on your eyes in a facepalm
  344. >RD:"Practically everypony in the castle woke up and came to see what was wrong."
  345. "Where am I now?"
  346. >RD:"Well if you couldn't figure it out by now, you're in the hospital. Me, Fluttershy, and Twilight almost flew you here ourselves since the ambulance took forever."
  347. >you couldn't help but laugh, as well as Rainbow
  348. >you're interrupted by a cream-colored earth pony in a white lab coat enter your hospital room
  349. >"Oh, Mr. Mous, you're awake."
  350. "Yeah, I probably wouldn't if it wasn't for Rainbow Dash."
  351. >"Indeed, that spell princess Cadence performed on you was idiotic, no unicorn has practiced a spell on one of your kind, especially a fertilization spell."
  352. >you and Rainbow Dash's face light up red with
  353. chagrin
  354. >"*sigh* I don't mean to be mad, I just find the concept of this whole scenario insane."
  355. >he pulls up the clipboard from the end of your bed
  356. >"Now Mr. Mous, you are very lucky the only thing bad to happen was severe pain to your *ahem* testes, they could have very well ruptured from that level of trauma."
  357. "Well I-I'm glad they didn't..."
  358. >Rainbow shakes her head to try and hide her laughter
  359. >"Mhmm. Another factor in your recovery would be your friends, they went on about what happened and all, especially how slow our ambulance service was."
  360. >he walks over and checks the monitors, writing down numbers on the clipboard
  361. >next he pulls out a wooden tongue-depressor and says "Open."
  362. >you open your mouth, and he examines with a small flashlight
  363. >he pulls away and then turns to your face
  364. >"This may be a bit bright."
  365. >he shines the flashlight into eyes, looking for redness or bloodshot
  366. >"Well you passed the general checkup, now I need to examine your lower regions."
  367. "Woahwoahwoah, not in front of my wife man!"
  368. >RD:"Anon."
  369. >the doctor closes the blinds surrounding the bed, and pulls up the face mask hung around his neck
  370. >"Don't worry Mr. Mous, I'm a professional. I've seen a lot of penises in my career, and I'm certainly -not- attracted to them."
  371. "..."
  372. >he lifts up your patient gown and shines the light
  373. >"Good news is that the swelling has gone down, they looked like balloons about to burst."
  374. >you almost pass out from embarrassment
  375. >"Bad news, there's still some discoloration, it should clear up in a couple of days."
  376. "That's a relief."
  377. >the doctor lowers the gown and turns off the flashlight
  378. >"We should be able to release you later tonight, so try to rest up."
  379. >RD:"And uh, Doc, what about the...?"
  380. >she rolls her hoof in the air as some sort of implication
  381. >"Oh yes, I almost forgot. I'll be right back."
  382. >he draws open the curtain and exits the room
  383. "What were you asking for?"
  384. >RD:"...Nothin'."
  385. >her face scrunches slightly
  386. >you raise an eyebrow in suspicion
  387. >soon the doctor came back with an infamous form of paper
  388. >"Well here you are, Mrs. Dash. I'm sure you'll be happy with the results."
  389. >he hands her the paper
  390. >"The Nurses will check on you periodically, Mr. Mous, until then, good day."
  391. >the doctor nods his head and leaves
  392. >Rainbow eagerly reads over the paper
  393. >a smile as wide as a mile stretches across her face
  394. "Dash, what is it-"
  395. >RD:"Lookit!"
  396. >she shoves the paper into your face
  397.  
  398. >'Patient name: Anon y. Mous'
  399. >'Testing for: Sperm Cell Analysis
  400. >'Results: Fertile and healthy cell count'
  401.  
  402. "I-...I'm f-fertile?"
  403. >Rainbow has the happiest grin on her face
  404. "...We can-"
  405. >a longing kiss from your wife stops you from finishing your sentence
  406. >RD:"Cadence did it Anon, she really did."
  407. "Yeah, at the cost of my testicles almost busting."
  408. >"Anon!" Rainbow Dash giggles
  409. "Sorry, they still really hurt."
  410. >a concerned look conforms her face, then suddenly changes to an eager tone
  411. >RD:"Do you mind if I uh, see them?"
  412. "...You know the doc -just- checked them out?"
  413. >RD:"I know, but you shouldn't be embarrassed if I look right? I am you're wife after all."
  414. >she gives you a seductive wink
  415. "Uhhh okay..."
  416.  
  417. >she gingerly walks over and starts to lift up the skirt
  418. "Wait, shouldn't you close the blind first?"
  419. >RD:"Why? No pony's gonna walk in."
  420. "That's what they all say in the movies, then SOMEONE happens to walk in."
  421. >Rainbow stares at you with a pissed off look
  422. "Think abooout it-"
  423. >RD:"*augh* Fine."
  424. >she turns around and closes the blind
  425. >RD:"Now, lets see what the damage is..."
  426. >she lifts up the gown, stares for a second, then looks back at you
  427. "...Is it bad?"
  428. >RD:"Um... to put it in a nice way... it looks worse than a bruised banana."
  429. "Damn."
  430. >RD:"But the doc's right, they're not as swollen as before."
  431. "...Wait, how do you know that?"
  432. >RD:"..."
  433. "You looked at them before, didn't you?"
  434. >RD:"...maybe..."
  435. >just then, the door to your room opened and hooves came trotting in
  436. >a female voice called out from behind the curtain
  437. >"Mr. Mous, you alright?"
  438. "U-um yes! I'm fine, I'm uh-... just talking with my wife in private."
  439. >a moment of cringing silence
  440. >"...Alright, well whenever you're done just let me know, I need to gather a blood sample."
  441. "Thank you!"
  442. >Rainbow Dash face-hoofs
  443. >you motion to her to open up the blind
  444. >she reluctantly draws it back, and the nurse takes out a needle
  445. >"This'll be real quick hon."
  446. >taking the IV tube sticking out of your arm, she draws out a small collection, then leaves you and Dash
  447. >RD:"*phew* That was too close."
  448. "I told you so."
  449. >RD:"Shuddup."
  450. >she walks back to the chair next to you and takes a seat
  451. >RD:"Do ya want me to stay with you for a while?"
  452. >you smile to her
  453. "That would be nice..."
  454. >she smiles back
  455. >RD:"Wanna watch TV?"
  456. "Sure."
  457. >she clicks on the overhead television, and starts flipping through channels
  458. >on one certain station, you both heard something you thought you would never hear again
  459. >a sound far too familiar...
  460.  
  461. *whoooooosh!* *whooooosh!* *whoooooosh!* *whoooooosh~*
  462.  
  463. End of part 1
  464. =============
  465.  
  466. >A wave of white lines spread across the television screen, growing and shrinking while mixing together in abnormal patterns
  467. >A bass guitar begins to play a steady beat, followed by an electronical "doo weee oooooooo~"
  468. >RD:"No. Way."
  469. >the screen now flashes letters in white text that read "Doctor Whooves"
  470. "Are you shitting me?"
  471. >Rainbow Dash frantically turns up the volume
  472. >next the screen shows "The Doctor and the Cyberponies, Part 1"
  473. >you and Rainbow were in disbelief, bewildered by how was this possible
  474. >but recalling a famous quote by David Tennant
  475. >"Wibbly-Wobbly, Timey-Wimey... stuff."
  476. >the black and white show dissolves to a telephone box sitting in the middle of some kind of futuristic city
  477. >the door slides open, and out steps a light colored pony with an hour glass cutie mark, but instead wears a dark coat and has a combed back white mane
  478. >"Quickly now, out of the T.I.R.D.A.S.!"
  479. >the Doctor leads out of the box a light colored unicorn colt, followed by a gray colored earth mare
  480. >"Look out, Cyberponies!"
  481. >cries the mare
  482. >the costume design of the robotic ponies was very poor, but you still found it entertaining
  483. >the Cyberponies came walking from all directions, shooting lasers at the Doctor and his companions
  484. >"YOU WILL BE DELETED."
  485. >grabbing the remote, you click off the tv and slam the remote down on the nightstand
  486. >RD:"Hey! What was that for?"
  487. "Sorry. I just- god dammit."
  488. >you roll over on your side away from her
  489. >she stares worriedly at you
  490. "I- don't feel good right now."
  491. >RD:"...Is it about Time Turner?"
  492. >you stare blankly at the light green wall and don't respond
  493. >Dash gets of her chair, leans over you and kisses your head softly
  494. >RD:"Try to get some rest, okay?"
  495. >you lay still, then nod in compliance
  496. >she sits back down and turns the tv back on but at a low enough volume for it not to be a bother
  497. >you shut your eyes, and soon fall asleep
  498.  
  499. >managing to get a few Z's, you get a good rest over the next few hours
  500. >until...
  501. >you snap awake, and rise from your bed
  502. >Rainbow Dash wasn't sitting in the chair next to you, and the tv was only playing white static
  503. >you click it off, and start to feel uncomfortable at the abnormal silence
  504. >you notice that all of the monitors are off, showing no signs of your vitals
  505. >not to mention that there were no IV tubes plugged into your arm whatsoever
  506. >you carefully climb down from your bed, and poke your head out of the door
  507. "H-hello?"
  508. >no reply
  509. >you look up and down the hallway, with no signs of any medical staff
  510. >deciding to further investigate, you walk out of the room and head down farther into the hospital
  511. >your groin has surprisingly no pain while you walked, so at least it was a good sign
  512. >you turn another corner and see two ponies in lab coats gallop through an intersecting hall
  513. "Hey! Excuse me!"
  514. >they didn't stop
  515. >you chase after them, following every turn
  516. >they enter one last doorway, with another doctor holding it open for them
  517. >as soon as they enter and the door shuts behind them, you were faced with something horrible
  518. >you
  519. >it was you on the opposite side of the door, in normal clothing, crying your eyes out
  520. >the rest of the main 5 were also behind you, sitting in chairs or trying to comfort you
  521. "H-hey, what's going on here?!"
  522. >you desperately cry out to them
  523. >then suddenly, another nurse rushed straight through your body
  524. >like you were a ghost
  525. >TS:"Anon, I-I'm sure they're doing a-all they can do-"
  526. >your alter ego starts banging maniacally on the twin doors
  527. >"LET ME IN! I NEED TO SEE HER!"
  528. >R:"Anon, stop it!"
  529. >"NO! PLEASE! PLEASE-E-E..."
  530. >you watch as he slides down the door onto his knees, cupping his face in his hands
  531. >Twilight and Rarity try to pull you back, as Pinkie, Fluttershy, Applejack, and Spike sit in their chairs, trying not to cry out in sadness
  532. >you couldn't help but to scream at the top of your lungs to try and get their attention, but to no avail
  533. >the doors suddenly creak open, and the head doctor, his gloves covered in blood, pulled off his face mask
  534. >your alter-self looks up at him from the floor
  535. >"Mr. Mous, There was nothing else we could do. She lost too much blood, and..."
  536. >you look up
  537. >"...the baby didn't make it either."
  538. >your pony friends gasp behind you
  539. >the doctor rests his hoof on your shoulder
  540. >"I am so, so sorry."
  541. >you watch as yourself weeps uncontrollably, and all of your friends cry too
  542. >as the doctor heads back into the room, and for a split second, you could see a rainbow colored mane in a bed, being covered up by a blanket
  543. "NOOOOOOOOO!"
  544.  
  545. ===
  546.  
  547. "AAAH!"
  548. >you jerk awake from your nightmare
  549. >the heart monitor was going haywire
  550. >Rainbow, who was also asleep, wakes up frightened
  551. >RD:"Anon, what's wrong?!"
  552. >a nurse comes rushing into your room with an emergency revival kit, panting
  553. >"Mrs. Dash, step aside he's-...Um."
  554. >gasping for breath, you feel all over yourself to make sure you weren't dreaming
  555. >then you look to Rainbow
  556. >you extend your hand out to her cheek, and she nuzzles it softly in return
  557. >"A-are you alright, Mr. Mous?"
  558. "...Yeah-"
  559. >you pull in Rainbow Dash for a hug
  560. "-I'm fine."
  561. >"Okay.., I'm just going to check your vitals one more time okay?"
  562. >you nod and let your wife go back to her chair
  563. >the nurse soon finishes, and heads out the door
  564. >"And Mrs. Dash? If he has another panic attack like that, call for help, okay?"
  565. >RD:"Yeah, okay."
  566. >the nurse nods, then leaves
  567.  
  568. >RD:"Anon..."
  569. "*sigh* Dash I know-"
  570. >RD:"Just tell me, I don't want an excuse."
  571. >her eyes were full of concern for you, and you could feel the compassion from her
  572. "...I had a nightmare."
  573. >RD:"About what?"
  574. >you look at her nervously
  575. "...I was in the hospital, outside of some room with our friends. You were in that room."
  576. >RD:"...W-what happened?"
  577. >she deserved to know the truth, especially since the breakfast ordeal
  578. "...You were giving birth, to a foal."
  579. >she stares contemptibly, at first
  580. "Then the doc told us..."
  581. >you felt a tear stream down your face, and on her's too, without even looking
  582. "You-... died. And so did the baby..."
  583. >RD:"Oh my Celestia... Anon."
  584. >she leans into you, and you hold her tight
  585. "I'm scared."
  586. >RD:"You don't have to be, it'll be alright..."
  587. >you look down to her mane, and stroke it
  588. "Thank you..."
  589. >she didn't need to say anything else, she knew her job was done
  590. >you keep petting her for a minute, then let her go
  591. "Hey Dash?"
  592. >RD:"Yeah?"
  593. "...Is that show still on?"
  594. >RD:"What, 'Doctor Whooves'?"
  595. >you nod
  596. >RD:"I think so, its a marathon I think."
  597. >she flips on the tv
  598. >cue the intro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enBMoTKUC84
  599. "Cool, mind if I watch for a bit?"
  600. >RD:"Not at all, honey."
  601. >she smiles, and so do you
  602. >you both turn back to the tv, and let the viewing commence
  603.  
  604. >several episodes in, you watched the Doctor and his companions, which you found out were named Lily and Regal, fight the Cyberponies, the Kaleds, and whatever else the writers threw in
  605. >*knock knock*
  606. >RD:"Who is it?"
  607. >the door almost flung off of its hinges
  608. >a bright pink blob pounced towards you
  609. >PP:"NONNY!"
  610. >before you could react you were caught in a Pinkie Pie death hug
  611. "Ow-, Good to see you, Pinkie."
  612. >she finally lets go and hops over to Rainbow Dash and they hug
  613. >another friendly pony walked into the room
  614. >TS:"Hi Anon."
  615. "Hey, Twilight."
  616. >she hugs you from the side, then Rainbow
  617. >TS:"How are you doing?"
  618. "Better, or as Dash described it, 'worse than a bruised banana.'"
  619. >RD:"ANON!"
  620. >Pinkie and Twilight busted their guts laughing
  621. "What? Just sayin'."
  622. >a light punch came to your shoulder from her
  623. >RD:"Hey uh, where's everypony else?"
  624. >TS:"Oh well Rarity is out of town on business, Fluttershy got a call about a sick pet, and Applejack's working at the farm. Oh, and I left Spike back at the castle to keep an eye on things while we were gone."
  625. >PP:"They said they wish they could be here to see you, Nonny!"
  626. "Well, next time I see them, I'll make sure to say thanks."
  627. >PP:"Ohohoh! I almost forgot!"
  628. >she reaches behind her and pulls out a bright pink envelope, it almost camouflaged with her fur
  629. "Aw, Pinkie."
  630. >PP:"Shush! Just open it!"
  631. >her face scrunched and a *squee* was heard
  632. >you could never get used to that, no matter how cute it was
  633. >you tear open the envelope and pull out yet another bright pink card labeled "Get well soon!" with the same colored balloons as Pinkie Pie's cutie mark
  634. >TS:"Go ahead, open it."
  635. >looking suspiciously at the duo, you flip open the card
  636. >a pop-up of the pink party pony spreads open and it's hoof extends out with a slip of paper
  637. "What's this?"
  638. >Pinkie was bouncing with excitement, while Rainbow and Twilight roll their eyes
  639. >you pull out the slip and read it
  640. "One free 'Super-duper-get-better-Nonny-party' voucher at The Sugarcube Corner."
  641. >PP:"Aren't you exciiiiited?!"
  642. "Ah-heh... yeah-"
  643. >PP:"GREAT! I knew it! I'm gonna make sure they got all you favorite foods drinks, blah-blah-blah-..."
  644. >thankfully, Twilight leaned in to distract you from Pinkie's party rant
  645. >TS:"So um, when did they say you could leave, Anon?"
  646. "Maybe tonight, if they approve-"
  647. >PP:"WHAT? Tonight?! Oh nonononono not tonight! I'm not readyyyy!!!"
  648. >she makes a bolt for the door, but stops and turns back to Twilight
  649. >she whispers nonchalantly
  650. >PP:"Twily, make sure-ay that Non-ay and Dash-ay are del-ay...d."
  651. >TS:"...What?
  652. >PP:"*sigh* Nevermind, you'll figure it out. Bye Dashie, bye Nonny!"
  653. >she zips away from the three of you
  654. >RD:"I'll never understand her."
  655. >TS:"Me neither..."
  656. >then from the tv:
  657. >"Next time, on Doctor Whooves..."
  658. >*doo weee oooooooo~*
  659. >this catches Twilight's attention, and she turns around to the screen
  660. >TS:"Wait a minute..."
  661. >the Doctor and his companions are seen running away from strange metal creatures rolling behind them with an enlarged and sharp unicorn head
  662. >"EXTERMINATE-THE-DOCTOOOR!!!"
  663. >*bwaaaah!*
  664. >shooting laser beams at the ponies, Regal turns around and blasts a Kaled wide open with a magic blast
  665. >"Hurry!"
  666. >they gallop down a corridor, then the credits roll
  667. >Twilight, with mouth agape, slowly turns back to you and Rainbow
  668. >TS:"Was that-"
  669. "Yep."
  670. >TS:"...And was he-"
  671. >RD:"Yep."
  672. >TS:"I, uh, *ahem* need to speak with Pinkie Pie..."
  673. >she starts to leave
  674. >TS:"Oh and um, Anon, good to know you're feeling better."
  675. >you nod at the purple princess
  676. >TS:"And Rainbow, whenever he -does- get better, don't be too hasty, okay?"
  677. >Dash's ears folded back and her cheeks flared up red
  678. >TS:"I'm kidding! Just take good care of him."
  679. >she waves goodbye, then steps out of the door
  680. >you look at Rainbow, who takes notice and turns away to make you think you didn't see her blushing
  681. >you chuckle to yourself, while you lean over to the nightstand and place the card on top
  682. >then you actually see outside the window behind the bed, not even noticing it was there
  683. >you could see the sun hanging lazily in the sky, estimating it to be sometime in the afternoon
  684. >you roll onto your back and look over to Rainbow, who was now looking down at the floor
  685. "Rainbow...you know she was just joking?"
  686. >RD:"...Yeah, but... that's personal stuff, y'know?"
  687. >she now looks up to you
  688. >RD:"...But I never said no to what she said, did I?~"
  689. >oh boy
  690. "Heh-heh... Rainbow?"
  691. >she giggles, and gives a seductive wink
  692. >RD:"You'll just have to wait for now, big boy.~"
  693. >she leans over and gives you a peck on the cheek
  694. >RD:"I need to go home and check on Tank, his food bowl is probably empty by now."
  695. "Aww...Okay, give him a shell-rub for me?"
  696. >RD:"Sure thing, hubby."
  697. >she gives you a brief Eskimo-kiss
  698. >RD:"See you later, Anon."
  699. "Until next time, mi amore~..."
  700. >RD:"Oh don't be so dramatic."
  701. "Heh, bye Dash."
  702. >she looks back one last time, and leaves you in your hospital bed
  703. >you hated that Rainbow had to travel between her house and the castle just to stay with you, its a shame you can't walk on clouds
  704. >you were thinking about asking Twilight to try a cloudwalker spell on you to make it possible, but after the last "spell", you don't think she will try it anytime soon...
  705. >oh well, now you just have to wait until the doctors check you out
  706. >exhaling, you look around at the rather dull hospital room
  707. >windows... tv... curtain...
  708. "Guess the regular pony patients didn't need much decoration."
  709. >you click back on the tv, hoping for more Doctor Whooves
  710. >sadly, it was a different show, some sitcom or soap opera
  711. >you browse the different channels, not to many stations to choose from
  712. >*click*
  713. >"Jewel, have you seen my glasses?"
  714. >"No honey, did you try the bathroom?"
  715. >*click*
  716. >"This fall, prepare for the most terrifying thriller of the year... 'The Monster from the Brown Swamp'!"
  717. >*click*
  718. >"Our top story tonight, the diplomat from the Griffon kingdom has traveled to Saddle Arabia tonight, hoping to renew and reconstruct the long disputed peace treaty."
  719. >you eventually turn off the tv
  720. "*sigh* ...Now what?"
  721. >you lie in your bed, hands closed together across your chest, staring at the ceiling
  722. >the heart monitor steadily beeps at your bedside
  723. >a small wall clock hung over the door frame
  724. >*tick-tick-tick-tick*
  725. >still staring at the ceiling, you lay silent... thinking about your dream
  726. >*tick-tick-tick*
  727. >">"Mr. Mous, There was nothing else we could do. She lost too much blood, and..."
  728. >*tick-tick*
  729. >"...the baby didn't make it either."
  730. *tick... tick...*
  731. >"I am so, so sorry."
  732. >you see her in the bed, covered by a blanket
  733. >*...tick*
  734.  
  735. >*knockknockknock!*
  736. >"Mr. Mous?"
  737. >you wake up from your daze
  738. "Huh?! Oh, come in."
  739. >the doctor from before walked into your room, accompanied by a nurse
  740. >"Feeling alright? Mrs. Dash told me that you had a rather... bad premonition."
  741. "...I'm fine."
  742. >"I can assure you, Mr. Mous, our medical facility is highly trained and ready to tackle any emergency, even like the one -you- saw."
  743. >this doctor was actually pretty alright in your book, actually caring about his patient's mental health along with physical
  744. >"Now then, one last examination before we can clear you to leave..."
  745. >he draws back the curtain
  746. >the nurse takes one last look out from the curtain
  747. >"We're clear."
  748. >"Good."
  749. >wait a minute, something's not right
  750. >the doctor and the nurse tap a device on their wrists
  751. >a cloud of smoke evaporates from both of them, revealing their true forms
  752. "What the hell?!'
  753. >TT:"Good to see ya too, lad."
  754. >he says in his Scottish accent
  755. >TT:"Oh, this is my companion."
  756. >standing behind him, was a maroon colored female pegasus with a brown-orange mane
  757. >she had an intriguing swirling pattern cutie mark
  758. >SN:"Hello, I'm Solar Nova, just Nova for short."
  759. >she had more of a British accent
  760. "Nice to meet you. Time Turner, whats going on?"
  761. >TT:"Ah, yes. You see I've heard from a... trusted informant... about your current dilemma."
  762. "...Was she pink and likes to throw parties?"
  763. >TT:"That's besides the point, Anon. She-"
  764. "If its about the state of my balls, tell her I didn't need a doctor of -your- status."
  765. >Nova folded her ears back in surprise and scrunches
  766. >TT:"What? No! That's not what I meant at all!"
  767. "Oh... sorry."
  768. >SN:"What he was trying to say is that Pinkie heard from your wife about your dream, sweetheart."
  769. "Wait, Rainbow told her?"
  770. >TT:"Indeed, she asked Pinkie to ask me to help, since I am a time traveler and all."
  771. >you looked back at Nova, who was happily waiting
  772. "How come when you rescued us, we didn't meet Nova?"
  773. >TT:"Well, thing is... We don't -always- travel together."
  774. >SN:"Just whenever I'm up for it, or if Time Turner is on important business."
  775. >suddenly, the timing of all this occurs to you
  776. "If Rainbow only told Pinkie on her way home, how did you two show up so quickly?"
  777. >Turner and Nova look confusedly at each other
  778. >TT:"Anon... When did you last see your wife?"
  779. "Um... noon-ish? I think."
  780. >SN:"Take a gander out the window, Anon."
  781. >you look over your shoulder to the outside
  782. >the sun was lower than before, with the sky turning a bright orange
  783. "Oh, wow. I guess I lost track of time being cooped up in here."
  784. >Time Turner was now getting visibly frustrated
  785. >TT:"Alright, enough chit-chat. Anon, you need to tell us right now, what happened in the dream?"
  786.  
  787. "Then I see her on the bed, and... *sigh*"
  788. >you shake your head in despair
  789. >Nova is on the verge of tears, though Turner was trying his best to stay focused
  790. >TT:"Okay, since you've recalled the memory, it will be easier to extract..."
  791. >he pulls out his little sonic screwdriver from his coat pocket
  792. >he points it towards your forehead
  793. "What are you doing??"
  794. >TT:"With this little beauty I can directly extract your memory, and it will be easier to upload back to the T.I.R.D.A.S."
  795. >*bzzzzzzzt*
  796. "Wait, why do -you- need my memory?"
  797. >TT:"Shush. Just focus on the dream, boy."
  798. >you concentrate on it as much as you could
  799. >crossing your eyes, you could see a faint green mist coming out from your skull, and entering the bulb of the device
  800. >TT:"Steady! Its almost done..."
  801. >the last bit of mist gets sucked in, and he lets off of the trigger
  802. >he flicks up the metal prongs at the front and stares into the bulb
  803. >TT:"Ah, perfect-o!"
  804. >he clicks it shut and stuffs it back into his coat
  805. >raising a finger, you ask
  806. "Um, you never answered my question-"
  807. >TT:"No time, we need to investigate at once. Nova, suit up."
  808. >she nods and activates her cloaking device, with a cloud of smoke, she transforms back into the nurse she was before
  809. >Time Turner looks back at you
  810. >TT:"Now remember, don't tell anypony that you saw us."
  811. >before he could activate his device, you stop him
  812. "Wait, just tell me what you're going to do?!"
  813. >he stares at you, and with a slow answer
  814. >TT:"...Saving your future."
  815. >he clicks the device on and is now the original doctor
  816. >"*ahem* Now... *ahem*"
  817. >he was trying to readjust his accent
  818. >"Now remember, Mr. Mous... Nopony."
  819. >he draws the blinds open and the two ponies leave the room
  820. >you were left sitting upright, hand extended out to nothing, at a loss for words
  821. >not a moment later, your actual doctor, this time followed by a different nurse, came into your room
  822. >the nurse rolls in a wheelchair, which got your hopes up
  823. >"Alright, Mr. Mous, we're ready to let you go. But first, one last exam."
  824. >exhaling, you let out a depressed
  825. "Okay..."
  826. >(one penis inspection later...)
  827. >"Mr. Mous, your genital condition is stable enough for you to be sent home."
  828. "Thank god."
  829. >after the nurse helps you change and get you into the wheelchair, they escort you down to the lobby
  830. >you met an eager face waiting to see you again
  831. >Rainbow gives you a soft hug
  832. >RD:"Hey Anon."
  833. "Hey Rainbow, thanks for picking me up."
  834. >RD:"Well I couldn't let my husband push himself all the way back to Friendship castle, now could I?"
  835. >the nurse made you and Rainbow sign several release forms, and at last you left the hospital, Rainbow floating beside you while you wheeled to the small road nearby
  836. >a small rickshaw pulled by a driver was waiting
  837. >RD:"I called ahead and got a cab for us."
  838. >she whistles to the driver, who was reading a newspaper, grabs his attention and he saddles up for the trip home
  839. >you roll to the side of the cart and try to pull yourself in
  840. >RD:"...Need any help?"
  841. "*grunt* N-no, I got it *hnngh*"
  842. >the lower half of your body felt like dead weight, and you had to balance yourself against the side of the rickshaw
  843. >you hear an angry exhale from behind and before you knew it two blue hoofs reached under your arms and helped lift you inside
  844. "...Thanks."
  845. >RD:"No prob."
  846. >she folds up the wheelchair and loads it into the luggage rack
  847. >she hops in next to you
  848. >"Where to ma'am?"
  849. >RD:"Friendship castle, please."
  850. >the driver starts to trot in the direction of the big crystal castle on the horizon of Ponyville
  851. >you lower your arm behind Rainbow Dash, and she leans into your chest
  852. >this whole week was probably the wildest one of your life, but it was worth it
  853. >especially for her
