  1. >Night couldn’t be awesome if Daring Do needed you to adventure again.
  2. >You are Rainbow Dash
  3. >Fastest flier in Equestria, the world, Equestria Games medalist, Hero of Equestria, Airmare First Class of the Wonderbolts
  4. *sigh*
  5. >And a stupid whorse
  6. >You lay upon your now darkened bed, not even caring if it goes full thunderhead
  7. >You just want to sleep while whatever your cider addled brain allowed inside you continues to grow
  8. >Feeding off of you
  9. >Like a parasite
  10. >For the rest of your life
  11. I-I could just give the little monster up
  12. >Are you really thinking this?
  13. >One trip Manehattan, one outpatient procedure, maybe a couple of awkward questions, and you’re free
  14. >You’d just have to kill the thing.
  15. >Kill
  16. >Could you really kill your child?
  17. >You groan and roll over trying to get more comfortable.
  18. >It isn’t a child yet, it isn’t a foal yet
  19. >It’s just a thing, doesn’t even have a gender yet.
  20. >It isn’t even thinking yet.
  21. >But it is alive.
  22. >It couldn’t feed off of you if it wasn’t.
  23. Ugh, why can’t I just sleep?!
  24. I just don’t want to forget this for a while.
  25. I just want to be able to dream again…
  26. >You hate being like this.
  27. >Your eyelids start to get heavy
  28. >You’ve been so weak and mushy all day.
  29. >You aren’t acting like a Wonderbolt
  30. >Maybe because you aren’t a Wonderbolt
  31. >Didn’t even get your uniform
  32. >Stupid whorse
  33. >You close your eyes, the fatigue of the day finally allowing you to sleep.
  34. >Day couldn’t be more awesome if there were two of me
  35. >You are First Lieutenant Rainbow Dash
  36. >Fastest flier in the universe, creator of the Buccaneer Blitz, bodyguard and inspiration of Daring Do, personal flight trainer of Princess Celestia and Luna, and Equestria Games gold medalist
  37. >In every event
  38. >Five years running
  39. >Solo
  40. >You’re flying with Captain Soarin
  41. >To see Lieutenant General Spitfire
  42. >For another promotion no doubt
  43. >You could’ve been there and back seventeen times, but you don’t want to make the Cap look too bad
  44. >You’re super humble and cool like that
  45. Hey Captain?
  46. >”Yes my super awesome Lieutenant, who would and should be my superior, but isn’t because she is so humble and cool and turned down Princess Celestia’s endorsement to Brigadier General?”
  47. Can you tell me when the next show is?
  48. Beating down jerks, spies, and ninjas has been fun, but I miss entertaining the everyday pony.
  49. >”Actually the next show is after the meeting with the Lieutenant General.”
  50. >”Since you don’t have to practice at all, because you’re so awesome, we just didn’t tell you.
  51. You’re supposed to tell me where they are Cap, doing a show in Fillydelphia and Trottingham at the same time is rough.
  52. I was almost winded.
  53. >”I wish I was as cool and fast as you.”
  54. >Poor colt was getting down on himself again.
  55. >He gets soft like this every once in a while since you won that first gold medal in the relay.
  56. >Kinda tough making up for Fluttershy and Tank
  57. >Not too tough for you though.
  58. As long as you’re awesome to yourself and your team, you’re awesome to me.
  59. Now come on, I don’t want to break out the Rainbow Warp to make it back to the Amarezon to find a few more artifacts for Daring.
  60. >Just like that you and Soarin hit sub Rainboom speed.
  61. >”Goo goo”
  62. >Suddenly a heavy weight hits your back
  63. >You look back to see a foal
  64. >Must’ve saved it by accident
  65. >”Mama”
  66. >Just then you look down to see a baby hanging from your neck
  67. >Just a small version of Anonymous
  68. Woah, kiddos, I am noponies’ momma.
  69. >You slow down to sub awesome speed so they don’t fall
  70. >”Mommy!”
  71. >Suddenly there is some weird thing hanging from your back hoof
  72. >Looks like Anon, but covered in peach fur, with its small muzzle scrunched in effort to hold on with furry hands as her back hooves clack together
  73. >Absolutely disgusting
  74. >Before you have a chance to shake the abomination off another small thing is on your head
  75. >”Momma, Dashbro Blitz took my dolly, tell him to give it back!”
  76. >A blue Tirek with Anon’s face and extra eyelashes sits upon your head
  77. >Only now do you notice that their extra weight is starting to pull you down
  78. H-hey, I’ll just drop you guys off on the ground and I’m sure your real mom wi-
  79. >”Rainbow Unknown is fibbing, I didn’t take her stupid doll!”
  80. >This one is lying lazily across your flank, hiding a doll behind his wings
  81. >His hooves holding onto you, while his feet kick lazily in the breeze
  82. >You’re losing altitude kinda fast now
  83. >This isn’t cool at all
  84. Soarin, help me out here!
  85. >Soarin appears behind you out of nowhere
  86. >”Why would I help some stupid whorse nopony?”
  87. Soarin, w-what are you talking about we’re friends and teammates.
  88. >”Teammates? I’m with the Wonderbolts, random nopony, the best fliers in all of Equestria. You’re having trouble just staying in the air.”
  89. B-but
  90. >You’re falling like a rock now, fighting back tears
  91. >”You’ll never be a Wonderbolt, nopony, not in that shape.”
  92. >You look down and see that your, firm stomach is now swollen with foal
  93. >You look down on the ground and see Anon, looking up smiling a cruel smile.
  94. >He starts to speak, mouth filled with razor sharp teeth
  95. >”Ah, there’s my little broodmare. Shouldn’t you be feeding the others?”
  96. >You then notice that Anonymous isn’t standing on a hill, but a literal mountain of fillies, colts, babies, and foals.
  97. >You look down and notice that your teats have swollen to proportion with your stomach, each leaking an abundance of milk
  98. >You’re dropping like a meteor now
  99. >”Mommy I’m hungry.”
  100. >The filly on your back says
  101. >You flap your wings harder than you ever have before, but you don’t even slow down
  102. >”Mommy I’m hungry”
  103. >Repeats the baby boy on your neck
  104. No
  105. >”Mommy we’re hungry”
  106. >Say the hybrids
  107. Please
  108. >”Mommy I’m thirsty.”
  109. >Begins the wretch on your leg
  110. Stop
  111. >The tears start now, running down the fur beneath your eyes dripping into the thirsty maws below you
  112. >”Mommy we’re hungry”
  113. >Chants the mountain of young below you
  114. I can’t do this, it isn’t right, I don’t deserve this!
  115. >”Of course you can, honey.
  116. >”You did it yesterday; you’ll do it today, and tomorrow and every day after that!
  117. >”You’re my beautiful little broodmare.”
  118. NO! I JUST WANT TO LIVE MY LIFE!
  119. >”You’re a mother now, this is your life!”
  120. This nightmare can’t be my life!
  121. >”INDEED IT ISN’T!”
  122. >Just then a shockwave blew away the mountain of foals, and fake Anonymous like they were made of sand
  123. >Your body turns back into the lithe shape you’ve worked years to attain
  124. >The children clinging on your body started to fade away too, one by one.
  125. >The last two, the foal and baby each gave you one last hug as they faded.
  126. >”We love you mommy.”
  127. >Gone
  128. >Those words sent a shiver down your spine
  129. >And a pain through your heart
  130. This is only a dream, thank Cel-
  131. >You look over to the dark alicorn as she appears from nothing
  132. >Her eyebrow raised slightly, face unamused
  133. Erm, thank Luna
  134. >”You are welcome, Loyalty, sister told us of your plight just as Twilight left Cloudsdale with the other Elements.”
  135. >You couldn’t have heard that right
  136. Celestia knew?
  137. >”Of course she did, just a simple spell, while you were busy regurgitating.”
  138. Why didn’t she just tell me?
  139. >”We never asked, but would it really be better if the fact that you are with foal was announced before hundreds of ponies?”
  140. Uh, heh, no.
  141. >”Now, back to your dream Loyalty, what makes you fear the young so?”
  142. *sigh* Okay, but this cannot leave….wherever we are.
  143. >”We are in the dreamscape, Loyalty, where we traverse each night ensuring peaceful rest for all of our subjects”
  144. >”As to your oath, noponies’ dreams are shared with anypony else. It would be a most heinous betrayal to our subjects, should their personal desires and fears be shared with the waking world.”
  145. Hmm, ok, I’ll trust you Princess.
  146. >You sit down on the…nothing below you, which is strangely comfortable and catch Luna up
  147. >Who the father was, how AJ is preggers too, how you’ll never be a Wonderbolt.
  148. >Nothing was spared.
  149. >She was kinda in your head, why bother.
  150. So Princess that was how I became a whorse
  151. >Feeling down again after recounting your many failures
  152. That’s why I’m thinking of taking a trip down to Manehattan and getting rid of it
  153. >”Hmm, sister has told us of THAT particular procedure, and while we personally do not agree with it, it is not our decision to make.”
  154. Yeah, while the girls are sure to hound me a bit, especially Fluttershy, it really is for the best.
  155. >”Perhaps, perhaps not, Loyalty.
  156. What do you mean, Princess?
  157. >”You see, while the choice seems obvious now, you shouldn’t so quickly decide to end something that could be great.”
  158. Well, maybe, but I AM great.
  159. Present tense, don’t need to take a few years off being great, for some leech that’ll just bleed me for the next few years.
  160. >”Well then, Loyalty, follow us, and see where your choice would lead.”
  161. >Just then an open door appeared beside the two of you
  162. >You couldn’t see where it leads, since wherever it led was too bright to see.
  163. No problem, Princess, but I know I’m right.
  164. >With your fear squashed down, you fly through the portal, with no hesitation
  165. >Just like a Wonderbolt would
  166.  
  167. --
  168.  
  169. >What you see once you step through is…
  170. >Admittedly anticlimactic
  171. >It is just the outskirts of Ponyville, near where Anon’s house would be
  172. Uh, Princess, did you hit a wrong turn? We’re just outside of Ponyville.
  173. >”We are just where we need to be, Loyalty.”
  174. Ok whatever you say Zecora
  175. >”Were you expecting to do battle against an immortal dragon at the dying moments of time?”
  176. Ehh, hopefully
  177. >”Despite your reasons for thinking so, a foal is not the end of the world.”
  178. >Before she says anything else, you turn your attention to the large cottage
  179. >Looks kind of like Anon’s, but it is much bigger.
  180. >Twice as wide with an extra floor on top, even a balcony like Twilight’s tree house library had.
  181. Well, looks like Anon is doing well for himself
  182. >”Yes, the magicless one has accomplished much here, though not in the way you would think.”
  183. >Luna walks ahead and through the closed door of the house
  184. >Right, ‘dream logic’
  185. >You follow right behind her to see Rarity talking to Anon
  186. >”Darling I know this time can be a hoo-, no a HANDful, however it is a part in every filly’s life.”
  187. >”Ugh, Jesus, I know Rares, human girls go through the same kind of thing, but I doubt there are any human girls her age that could shatter my leg in an angry huff.”
  188. >”I didn’t know you were so frail, dear. I suppose I’ll have to be a bit more careful around you.”
  189. >”Applejack has her bucking now, thanks to a dash of human physiology the kid is already stronger than Mac.
  190. >Your eyebrows raise to this, not only that Applejack had her child, but that humanity could be a benefit.
  191. >Could your foal be a better flier than you.
  192. >As you are thinking the conversation continues on
  193. >”Oh my, and to think that we were all worried if she would be strong enough to stand properly.”
  194. >”Heh, those were stressful times. No idea of she would be more me or Applejack.”
  195. >Rarity begins to giggle
  196. >”How scared the girls were when she couldn’t stand on her own after birth.”
  197. >The foal couldn’t even stand after birth
  198. >Now she is supposedly stronger that Big Mac
  199. >Anon laughs hard, at the memory you assume.
  200. >”I thought I told Twilight that humans take a few months before they take their first steps”
  201. >”Howdy Rares, Anon.”
  202. >Applejack walks in the room from the door behind you, and through you.
  203. >’Dream logic’
  204. >”Ya’ll ain’t gonna believe what I jus saw, while I was out with little Apple Charlotte.”
  205. >”What’s that AJ?”
  206. >”Rainbow Dash is back visiting.”
  207. >”Darling, that is wonderful news! I simply must tell Fluttershy, I know she misses her dearly.”
  208. >Rarity then hops off the couch to leave
  209. >But not before smiling and giving Anon a kiss on the cheek
  210. >”Until next time, dear.”
  211. >”Well AJ, let’s not keep the Wonderbolt waiting.”
  212. >”Right behind ya, ‘Non.”
  213. >Your friends then follow Rarity out the door
  214. >Walking through you again
  215. Well that was weird, and kinda boring.
  216. >”Not as much as you would think, Loyalty.”
  217. >”And though it lacks the punch of a battle with an elder dragon, we would’ve hoped that you learned a bit here.”
  218. >You did
  219. >Whatever the foal turned out looking like, it was healthy.
  220. >Strong
  221. >Applejack didn’t look much different
  222. >She seemed happy
  223. Whatever, let’s go see future me.
  224.  
  225. --
  226.  
  227. >You take one step outside the home and you’re in a very crowded town square
  228. >Also Rarity is arriving with Fluttershy, despite only leaving to get her a few moments prior
  229. >Anon is also entering the town square with AJ
  230. >You immediately notice two things
  231. >One, Applejack is looking way too excited to see you
  232. >And two, ponies aren’t cowering before Anon as usual.
  233. Hey Luna, the ponies aren’t scared of Anon anymore, what’s up with that?
  234. >”Is it not obvious, Loyalty?”
  235. >”The Magicless One, has his comings and goings in the town proper far more than he used to.”
  236. >”He has had to be both stern and pleading with the shop keeps while providing his mare through her late pregnancy.”
  237. >”He has had to recruit help from the populace for help extending his home to accommodate a mare and a foal that could potentially grow to his size.”
  238. >”He has had to speak to the schoolmarm about accommodations for a foal that could be any shape or size.”
  239. >”He has had to speak to the upperclass about loans to support the farm, while Honesty was infirm.”
  240. >”He has had to speak to the bureaucracy to finalize bonding himself to his new family.”
  241. >”He had to become a part of the community.”
  242. >”And in each interaction, as he did many things he hated in the name of his love and family, he wasn’t seen as a hungry predator, nor a speaking beast, but a stallion who merely cared about his mare and foal.”
  243. Wow, that’s deep Luna.
  244. >”This is no prose, Loyalty, merely a statement of fact.”
  245.  
  246. >”However, we are not here for the Magicless One’s benefit, but your own.”
  247. >You turn and see the dream resume, from where it paused while Luna spoke.
  248. >’Dream logic’
  249. >Just outside the ring of ponies, Applejack reared up on her hind legs and shouted over the crowd.
  250. >”Ah wonder if Rainbow has forgotten the little ponies in her new high falootin position!”
  251. >”Applejack?”
  252. >It was weird hearing your voice without speaking yourself.
  253. Is that how I sound to ponies?
  254. >Just then you see a slightly older you flying above the crowd, sporting the Wonderbolts uniform, and protective eyegoggles.
  255. >You looked awesome.
  256. >Not as awesome as the start of the dream, but still awesome
  257.  
  258. >”APPLEJACK!”
  259. >Your double tackles the mare in a hug.
  260. >”Applejack it’s been too long!”
  261. >”Quite a few years, far as I reckon.”
  262. >Years.
  263. >You’ve been away from your best friend for years.
  264. >The Wonderbolts allow for one month of leave a year, why wouldn’t you spend that time with your friends?
  265. >”DASHIE!!”
  266. >Just then your future self is hit by a pink blur
  267. >Turn a few feet to see Pinkie giving you a crushing hug, and telling you in her hyper fast language how happy she is to see you.
  268. >Her
  269. >Dash2
  270. >That works
  271. >Bucking dream logic
  272.  
  273. >Anon simply waves at Dash2, asking her how she’s been
  274. >Pretty boring now
  275. So what was the point of all this Luna?
  276. From what I can see things turned out alright
  277. >Rarity arrives on the scene with Fluttershy
  278. >For some reason everything has turned tense
  279. >Really tense
  280. >”Rainbow, darling I am so happy to see you.”
  281. >”We simply MUST swap stories about your time away.”
  282. >You sigh knowing exactly where this is going until a certain voice catches your ear.
  283. >”Hello, Rainbow Dash.”
  284. >What.
  285. >That sounded like Fluttershy
  286. >But nothing like Fluttershy
  287.  
  288. >”Hello, Fluttershy.”
  289. >”How are the Wonderbolts, Rainbow Dash?”
  290. >”They’re awesome, Fluttershy.”
  291. >This isn’t cool.
  292. >This isn’t cool at all.
  293. >You’re talking to your first friend in the world the same way you would Trixie, or Lightning Dust.
  294. >And now that you see her you see something you haven’t seen on her before
  295. >A scowl
  296. >A deep one
  297. >”That’s good.”
  298. >She then turns to Rarity, small grimace still apparent.
  299. >”There, we have talked, we are fine, I’ll see you at the spa.”
  300. >”Fluttershy dear, it has been years, you can’t still be so ups-.”
  301. >Fluttershy cut her off with a glare.
  302. >”She was a foal Rarity, I will see you at the spa.”
  303.  
  304. >As you watched the literally kindest pony in the world flutter away coldly, you didn’t notice the incredibly stupid think you were about to do.
  305. >Other you
  306. >Dash2
  307. >”IT wasn’t a foal, Fluttershy.”
  308. >The world stops, not dream logic pause the world stops, just stops.
  309. >It began again when Fluttershy turned around
  310. >Looking furious.
  311. >”SHE was your daughter, Rainbow Dash.”
  312. >Fluttershy, FLUTTERSHY growled out.
  313. >”IT was a mistake that I avoided, Fluttershy.”
  314. >Dash2 replied flying up to Fluttershy
  315. >”SHE was a girl that you KILLED, RAINBOW DASH!”
  316. >Fluttershy, fired back getting into Dash2’s face
  317. >They are then separated from each other in a familiar purple aura
  318. >”Girls, please. It has been, over ten years; can’t we just forgive and forget?”
  319. >Thank you based Twilight
  320. >Best unicorn princess ever
  321.  
  322. >Fluttershy and Dash2 were both lowered to the ground a good distance away from one another.
  323. >Both were ruffling their feathers
  324. >Both were ready to fight
  325. >Then they looked at the ponies around them
  326. >All the ponies that were cheering Dash2 before are just trying desperately to not look at her, or sneak away
  327. >Pinkie was looking at the ground, mane deflated, though not flat.
  328. >Anonymous was trying to comfort the pink mare, stroking her mane tenderly.
  329. >Rarity was beating herself up, about how ‘she thought Fluttershy was over it’ and how ‘this was all her fault’
  330. >Applejack just looked mad.
  331. >It only took you a second to figure out why
  332. >Dash2’s mistake, was AJ’s pride and joy
  333. >Dash2’s thing, was Aj’s filly
  334. >Where Dash2 held to her dream, Applejack took responsibility
  335. >”Not even Tirek killed anypony.”
  336. Ok, Luna I think you made your point.
  337. >As Fluttershy turned and walked away, you knew what was coming next
  338. >You knew because, you would never let anypony get the last word on you if you could help it
  339. >”Not even Fluttershy did anything with her worthless life.”
  340.  
  341. >Before anything else was said, Dash2 opened her wings and took for my cloudh-
  342. >My house is gone
  343. >Dash2 was just flying to Cloudsdale
  344. I left Ponyville, I didn’t even try to apologize, and I acted like more of a jerk than Gilda could ever be accused of.
  345. >”Loyalty it wasn’t you, at least not yet.”
  346. >Luna’s words fell on deaf ears
  347. I insult Aj’s kid, I don’t even try to stay and spend time with them, or any of my other friends in Ponyville.
  348. I didn’t even see how Scoots is doing.
  349. I didn’t even care about them.
  350. I got rid of what would’ve been Anonymous’ daughter, and I didn’t even care.
  351. >”You held fast to your dreams, and through hard work and determination grasped them.”
  352. Princess I kn-
  353. >”No Loyalty, you do not, the Magicless One had no quarrel with what you did.”
  354. >”If anything he was the most understanding, ‘your body your choice’ were his words I believe.”
  355. >”Kindness as you very well saw, saw your actions as nothing but infanticide.”
  356. >”She begged you to see it through to term, even saying that she would take care of it herself, so you wouldn’t lose your dream.
  357. >”You refused, joined the Wonderbolts, entering as Airmare First Class, and dedicated your life to moving up the ranks.”
  358. >”You lost touch with your friends after a time, gaining new ones in the service.”
  359. >”You are still you, even after all of that, you were still quite loyal to your friends, however Kindness stopped being your friend after you got off the train from Manehattan.
  360. >”At least down this particular path of your decision.”
  361. What do you mean?
  362. >”Down this path you held your dream above all else, including your loyalties.”
  363. >”With this knowledge maybe you’ll do things differently.”
  364. >”Maybe you will carry your foal to term and hoof it off to Fluttershy, and join as a mere Basic Airmare, work harder, and still reach your dreams.
  365. >All the while keeping your friends.”
  366. >”Or maybe you’ll take the opposite path.”
  367. >Behind where Luna stood another portal opened up
  368. No more Princess, I don’t think I can take it
  369. >”This shall be brief, Loyalty.”
  370. >So tiredly, despite your sleeping state, you step through
  371.  
  372. --
  373.  
  374. >Once again you step through a dream portal
  375. >Once again you land in front of Anon’s cottage
  376. >Once again it is bigger than it is in the real world
  377. >What is different, is how much bigger it is now than it was
  378. >What was once a humble two story house, is now a mansion
  379. >Well, as close to a mansion a hoof-made cottage can get.
  380. >That wasn’t the biggest change however
  381. >This biggest change was the cloud house right above it
  382. >Your cloud house
  383. >It was bigger too
  384. >A lot bigger
  385. >And you already had the best cloud house outside of Las Pegasus
  386. So, what I stayed here and got rich?
  387. >”In more ways than you think, Loyalty.”
  388. What? Is this a ‘My wittle foals are all I need to be happy’ thing?
  389. Because, if it is, I think I’d rather be a total cunt.
  390. >Luna huffed before approaching the home and walking through the closed door
  391. >You follow behind her.
  392.  
  393. >Rather than Anon’s humble den you are greeted by a spacious foyer
  394. >Complete with a spiral staircase that led to a large currently open skylight
  395. >Once again you hear the muffled sounds of Rarity and Anon speaking through the door to the left in a pretty spacious den
  396. >Once again you are greeted by Anonymous and Rarity mid-conversation
  397. >”-en we have time for full nights darling. I don’t think I’ll ever get used to your vigor.”
  398. >”What can I say? I have to make sure you know that I still love you, and that you are still ridiculously sexy.”
  399. >At the expected kiss you were officially ready to roll your eyes and leave
  400. >You already knew the story
  401. >You had the foal
  402. >Anon kept it
  403. >He and Rarity got together, for some reason
  404. >And he may have kept Applejack’s foal too.
  405. >For some other reason
  406. >You were about to tell Luna that you’re ready to go, but you were cut off
  407. >”And what does that make me? Chopped pears?”
  408. >What?
  409. >”You are always welcome to join us Applejack, dear.”
  410. >”I’m fine with reminding you why I call you Applebottom, Aj.
  411. >Anonymous, Rarity, and Applejack
  412. >Together
  413. >This dream has officially become weird.
  414. >And a little hot
  415.  
  416.  
  417. >”Ah’m not sayin no, but some of us have to be able to move to do our work.”
  418. >”The cider is barreled Aj, your mornings have become free as of today”, Anon says with a wicked smile on his face
  419. Um, Princess are we really going to stay for this?
  420. >”This would be far from our first time experiencing such a dream, Loyalty.”
  421. >And now you’re suddenly conscious of every wet dream you’ve had since you and Twilight met
  422. >”However, watching Generosity, Honesty, and the Magicless One mate isn’t why I brought you here.”
  423. >With those words the home rushes through you and you are in what looks like the back yard
  424. >What you see is a more than a little surprising and a little shocking
  425. >More so than the constantly shifting young are the ponies around them
  426. >Fluttershy is nursing a foal sized one
  427. >Pinkie is playing with a team of four of them
  428. >Twilight is sitting before two talking egghead magic stuff with them
  429. >And another, slightly chubbier, you is in the air trying to coax two small ones from a cloud
  430. >While two older children hover alongside you on blue and yellow wings respectively
  431. >In fact whenever the kids have fur their fur color is the same as yours or your friends’ fur
  432. >But even the idea that Anon rutted you all isn’t the shocking part
  433. >The shocking part is Princess Luna lovingly tending to the starry tail of a kid that doesn’t change form from having a human top half and pony bottom half
  434. >”I see”
  435. >You jump when the Luna beside you speaks, forgetting she was there for a second.
  436.  
  437.  
  438. >She doesn’t take her eyes off the scene as she speaks to you
  439. >”Down this path, Loyalty, you gave up everything in order to take care of your foal, and like every mare loved your foal dearly.”
  440. >”With the combined meddling of Generosity and Magicand with the blessing of Mi Amore Cadenza, a herd was formed.”
  441. >”I joined because of this very scene, myself with a child of my own, learning that a union with the Ma- with Anonymous allows for alicorn breeding.”
  442. >That’s new
  443. What does it being Anon’s have to do with anything?
  444. >”Ask Magic within the waking world if you desire a lesson in alicorn physiology and reproduction, Loyalty. You may need to rise early, as she adheres strictly to her set schedule.
  445. ‘Nah, I’m sleeping in’, you say waving a hoof dismissively.
  446. Besides, the real question is why we all agreed to it?
  447. I mean Anon can rut like nothing else, but that doesn’t explain how or why we’re all married to him.
  448. >”A herd and a marriage are different bonds, though one may exist within the other"
  449. >"In fact down this path Anonymous is married to only one of us.”
  450. >”However, there is far more to this life than love, marriage, and family.”
  451. >The scene changes again, ground rushing beneath your hooves.
  452. >You are suddenly in Manehatten
  453. Luna why are we in Manehatten?
  454. >”We have not gone so far Loyalty, we are just now entering the limits of Ponyville.”
  455. >Had this not been a dream you’d be shocked
  456.  
  457.  
  458. >There were towering skyscrapers, busy paved streets, and a multitude of ponies walking around.
  459. >Some were riding around in self propelled carts, some were staring at a small glowing square, all of them were sporting clothes and technology you’ve never seen before.
  460. >”Welcome, Loyalty, to the City of Ponyville”
  461. >You are surrounded by bustling ponies going about their day to day
  462. >But one thing was oddly similar
  463. >Every single one of them was holding an eye pod.
  464. >Just like Anon’s but in different colors.
  465. >And only some of them were talking to each other.
  466. >Shopkeeps and customers
  467. >Few barely acknowledge that other’s existed
  468. >None of them were smiling at each other
  469. >None of them were laughing with each other
  470. None of them are friends
  471. >”Now you see Loyalty.”
  472. >”Supporting a herd and the many children resulting from it, each who needed special accommodations, takes a substantial amount of bits.”
  473. >”Anonymous, Generosity, and Magic combined their talents, but in the name of money rather than survival, acclaim, or magic”
  474. >”Ponyville is the technological, and economical center of Equestria, and the world.”
  475.  
  476. >You turned to look up at Luna
  477. >”The town where friendship reined, where Laughter ensured everyone had a birthday party”
  478. >”Where, Generosity and Honesty would happily give away their merchandise when they saw one in need of it.
  479. >”Where, Kindness would see to the needs of those, without a voice to speak.”
  480. >”Where, you, Loyalty ensured that those under you were protected from the wild magic of the Everfree.”
  481. >”And where the very, Princess of Friendship dwelt, is filled with thousands of ponies who couldn’t tell you the name of the one next to them.”
  482. >When she said your name you just then noticed the sky
  483. >The clouds were moving on their own
  484. >They weren’t being maintained by any pegasai
  485. >It was creepy as all Tartarus.
  486. >”In the care and needs of your foals, your love, and each other, you have all forgotten about the world around you.”
  487. >”And worst of all, we cannot help because we are under the same spell.”
  488. >The scene changes back to where dream Luna was now delicately combing the mane of her daughter, a serene smile on her face, and humming a song that you remember from your own foalhood.
  489. >”Even with all the dreamscape tells me, and the battles that would be fought without the Elements, I still wonder if it wouldn’t be worth it”
  490. But-
  491. >”It is time to awake, Loyalty, and start on your path.”
  492. >Luna touches your head with a hoof and you launch into the sky
  493. >The last thing you see is Luna still staring at herself and the child, who looks up and waves her hand at you
  494.  
  495.  
  496. >You yawn and stretch, and look over at the clock.
  497. 8:17am
  498. >You get up and use the bathroom then fly back to your bedroom
  499. No princess is going to stop me from sleeping in.
  500. >But as your head hits the pillow a wave of nausea hits you
  501. >Looks like the brat will, though.
  502.  
  503.  
  504. --
  505.  
  506. >Night diamonds in the sky
  507. >You are Rarity, Element of Generosity, Advisor to Princess Twilight Sparkle, Countess in the court of Friendship, and giddiest unicorn in Equestria
  508. >You cannot believe your luck
  509. >After months of silent pining and despair over being unable to indulge your affections
  510. >You must share the good news with Opalescence
  511. >Scooping up your cat gently in your magical aura as you head for the loo.
  512. Oh Opal I still cannot believe it, darling Anonymous has finally ‘gone native’ as they say.
  513. >”Meow.”
  514. >No doubt she is just as amazed as you are
  515. The only male in this town that is a true gentlecolt, while still having that aura of danger that lets you know you are dealing with a real stallion.
  516. To hear he wasn’t attracted to ponies was distressing, to say the least.
  517. >You finish removing the last of your make up and place your false eyelashes in their proper container
  518. I knew I saw him looking at my flank more than once, but to hear him admit to his attraction was simply wonderful beyond description!
  519. >You levitate Opal once again as you head to your bedroom and apply your eye mask
  520. I know it may be considered a bit, gauche, to move in so soon, however one must strike while the iron is hot so to speak.
  521. >”Meow”
  522. >Of course she understands, Opalescence always understands
  523. I’m not wrecking any homes, both Applejack and Rainbow Dash have made it known that they do not desire a romantic relationship with Anonymous.
  524. I can’t be blamed if I go for what I always wanted
  525. >As you delicately settle into bed, and lay Opal into her smaller but equally comfortable bed you can’t help but think of your perfect plan to land your stallion
  526. >You can’t help but think about his scent as you leaned on him today
  527. >You can’t help but think of the admirable growth that Pinkie slid down today
  528. >Lucky filly
  529. Oh Opal, I can’t help myself. I think I’m going to ‘bump’ into Anonymous while he is with Twilight tomorrow.
  530. >”Meow”
  531. Good night to you too Opal
  532. >Using your magic you turn off your light and settle in for a full night’s sleep
