Chapter 2 (Part 2)

One Hour Later

"I see... that is so sad." Spitfire said, her mood changing from one of curiosity to that of slightly depressed.

"And the worst part is that he still doesn't know the truth." Rainbow said with a sigh.

"Are you going to tell him?" Spitfire asked, her curiosity increasing again.

"Yes, we plan on telling him, soon actually. But we just want to wait a little bit longer. He is growing so fast, but we still fear he might be a little young to know the truth." Rainbow concluded. Spitfire nodded her head and smiled gently towards Rainbow.

"You really care about him don't you?" Spitfire asked. Rainbow smiled back and nodded her head.

"Of course I do. I think of him as my own, though Twilight is more like a mother to him."

"What do you mean by that?" Spitfire asked.

"Well, Twilight is like Midnight's mom. He lives with Twilight at the library. She has also taken on the responsibility of being the main caregiver for him. Since we all agreed to help and I have been there for almost his entire life, he thinks of me as part of his family, but still sees Twilight as his mom." Spitfire nodded her head in understanding.

"I see." Spitfire slowly began to smile.

"Thank you for telling me your story. And again, I'm sorry if I intruded on your personal life." Spitfire apologetically said. She was met with a quick smile from Rainbow Dash.

"Don't worry about it Spitfire. I don't mind telling the story at all." Rainbow said, looking towards the sky then back at Spitfire.

"I'm sorry Spitfire, but it seems that it is getting late and I promised Twilight I would have Midnight home very soon. Thank you again for inviting us; we should do this again real soon." Rainbow said, standing up from the bench and stretching her wings and back. She then called towards me.

"Midnight, it's time to leave. What do you say to Soarin and Spitfire for inviting us here?" Rainbow asked, waiting for me to respond with a thank you.

"Thank you so much. You are the bestest Wonderbolts ever!" I said with excitement in my voice. Soarin and Spitfire smiled as I situated myself onto Rainbow's back.

"We will see you around Midnight. We look forward to seeing you again at some of our shows." Soarin said, ruffling my hair slightly with his hoof. I gave a quick laugh before waving goodbye to the both of them. Rainbow smiled and I soon found myself on my way back to Ponyville, with both Spitfire and Soarin waving us off.

"He is a good little colt." Soarin said, making Spitfire eye him strangely.

"Really? And since when are you the foal loving type?" She asked, causing him to blush slightly, but quickly regain his composure.

"I never said I wasn't the foal loving type. And besides, he seems... different then all the other ponies I meet." Soarin said, deep in thought about the mysterious creature.

"Well Soarin, he isn't a pony." Spitfire retorted with a hint of sarcasm in her voice. Soarin glared at her but quickly eased up.

"You know what I mean Spitfire. I... I don't know why, but I think I felt a strange connection between us. Something that I haven't really felt before, but it's a good feeling." Soarin quickly stated. Spitfire put a hoof to her chin and thought about what Soarin had said. It took her a few minutes before she looked towards Soarin with a calm but somewhat serious face.

"Soarin, it may be because he sees you as a fatherly figure." Spitfire said. Soarin just stared at Spitfire, studying her expression and the likelihood of her trying to pull a fast one on him. But Spitfire's face told Soarin that she was serious and didn't mean it in a joking manner.

"What... what are you talking about Spitfire?" Soarin asked, still trying to process what Spitfire said.

"Well think about it Soarin. He has grown up his entire life without a dad. The way he seems to look up to you is a certain way that a foal would view his or her own dad. And you were just playing with him, in a way that a father would play with his own son." Spitfire finished, leaving Soarin shocked at her explanation.

"Spitfire, I... I don't know how to respond to that actually." Soarin said. Spitfire rolled her eyes.

"You don't have to respond to that if you don't want too, but that is my opinion." Soarin looked at Spitfire and gave a gentle nod of his head.

"I... I guess that would explain it." Soarin said, still thinking. Spitfire smiled and put a hoof around his neck.

"Come on Soarin, let's go get a drink and relax. I'm exhausted." Spitfire said, causing Soarin to smile.

"Yeah, a drink sounds refreshing right about now."

"And who knows; maybe you will find a pony there that loves foals just as much as you. Then you two can start a family and have as many foals as you want." Spitfire teased, Soarin sighing in response.

"You aren't gonna let this foal thing go, are you?" Soarin asked. Spitfire beamed a smile on her face as she lifted into the air.

"And what kind of friend would I be if I did?" she asked, sarcasm evident in her voice.

"Yeah, that's what I thought." Soarin said, letting out another sigh before taking off with Spitfire.

Twilight's Library (1 Hour Later)

"How was the show Midnight?" Twilight asked, watching as I swiftly ran up the stair and into my room. Twilight turned her attention to Rainbow, who had a small smile on her face. They made eye contact with each other before Twilight asked, "Did everything go all right with the Wonderbolts show?" Twilight curiously asked. Rainbow sat down next to her and nodded her head.

"Yeah, it was very... nice." She said, stretching out on the part of the couch Twilight wasn't using.

"Well I'm glad it went good. Did... did Midnight have any problems while you were there?" she asked, a small hint of concern in her voice. Rainbow looked at her and shook her head.

"Not really Twilight. There were some ponies that would stare but Midnight was too caught up with seeing the Wonderbolts to really notice." She said, Twilight sighing in relief.

"Good, very good." She said, before looking towards the stairs to see me running down them as fast as my legs could carry me.

"Mom, mom. Take a look at what I got!" I excitedly yelled. Half way down the stairs I lost my footing and began to fall face first towards the bottom of the stairs. Twilight's horn quickly glowed and I was enveloped in a purple aura only a few inches above the floor. Twilight sighed and gently levitated me towards her.

"Midnight, you have to be more careful. How many times have I told you to walk down the stairs, not run?" Twilight asked in a motherly manner. I looked at Twilight with a giant smile on my face.

"I know mom, but look at what I got." I said, holding up a picture frame with a newly fitted picture inside of it. Twilight grabbed the picture frame out of my hand and smiled at what she saw. It was a picture of the Wonderbolts with both Soarin and Spitfire's autographs on it.

"Wow Midnight. I bet you must be happy you got them to sign it?" Twilight asked. I nodded my head in agreement.

"Yeah, and not only that, but I even got to spend some time with Soarin for a little bit." Twilight raised an eyebrow and looked at me curiously.

"You and Soarin got to spend time together?" she questioned. I smiled and nodded my head again.

"Yeah, we went to this awesome park and got to play. Auntie Rainbow was sitting on a bench and talking to Spitfire while we were playing." Twilight looked towards Rainbow and received a nod. Twilight then turned her attention back towards me, a smile on her face.

"I am so happy you had a wonderful time Midnight." Twilight then looked towards her clock and realized how late it was getting.

"Oh my, look at how late it is. You should have been in bed about an hour ago." Twilight said.

"But I'm not tired." I complained. Twilight looked into my eyes and noticed they were red from tiredness.

"I bet you once you get into bed, you will have no trouble falling asleep. Now say goodnight to Auntie Rainbow and go upstairs and get to bed. I will be in there in a minute." Twilight said. I quickly threw my arms around Rainbow in a tight embrace.

"Thank you so much Auntie Rainbow. This has been the best birthday ever!" I exclaimed. I then turned towards Twilight who had that motherly, 'now off to bed' look on her face. I then reluctantly went upstairs and got ready for bed. A few minutes later I was in bed and Twilight was by my bedside.

"Goodnight Midnight, I love you." She said, kissing the top of my forehead. I pulled her into a hug and kissed the side of her cheek.

"I love you too mom." I said, feeling the toll that the exciting day had on me. I soon found myself fast asleep. Twilight walked downstairs and rejoined Rainbow on the couch.

"Sorry Rainbow, just finished tucking Midnight in." Twilight said.

"Don't worry about it Twi." Rainbow said nonchalantly. Twilight then showed a serious face.

"Rainbow, why did Spitfire want to talk to you?" Twilight asked. Rainbow sighed and readjusted her back on the couch for a more comfortable talking position.

"Well, to be honest, it was about Midnight." Rainbow said. Twilight nodded her head, but still had some slight skepticism.

"Why did she want to know about Midnight?"

"Well, she said she was just curious is all. I mean, I don't really blame her. If I saw a new pony or creature, I would be curious too."

"So what all did you tell her Rainbow?" Twilight said, getting slightly agitated.

"If you are wondering if I told her about the letter, then no. I have never spoken of it ever since that first night. I only told her how we found Midnight one night and then we started to raise him as we would our own." This seemed to have eased Twilight's mood.

"Good. Well anyway, you must be very tired Rainbow. Thank you again for taking Midnight to the show today." Twilight said, receiving a grin from Rainbow.

"Don't worry Twi. He is like a son to me. I will always be happy to spend time with him." Rainbow said. Twilight smiled and pulled Rainbow into a hug.

"Still, thank you. This really meant a lot to him." Twilight said, releasing Rainbow from the hug. Rainbow had a smile on her face, before yawning and causing Twilight to giggle slightly.

"You must be exhausted from today Rainbow. Why don't you go to back home and sleep." Twilight suggested. Rainbow let out another yawn before nodding her head.

"Yeah, I think I will Twilight. I will see you later." Rainbow said, heading towards the door. With one last smile Rainbow opened the door and flew home, exhausted but happy about the events of the day. Twilight waved her off and closed the door behind her before heading to bed herself. She walked up the stairs and quickly checked on me. I was fast asleep so Twilight gently closed the door to minimize the sound it made. With gentle hoofsteps, Twilight made her way back to her room. After getting into bed, she quickly fell asleep, sweet dreams embracing her while she slept.

Library Twilight P.O.V.

"What, what time is it?" I said, looking at the clock on the wall. The hour hand was just past two. I laid my head back down and closed my eyes. As I continued to lie there, I could hear a strange noise coming from outside of my room. Curiosity got the better of me as I soon found myself groggily walking out of my room. As I stood on the top landing of the library, a cold chill descended throughout my body. The noise I had heard was coming from Midnight's room. I quickly rushed over and opened the door. What I saw in front of me would haunt me for the rest of my life. Three large stallions were forcing midnight down onto his bed and holding a hoof over his mouth to prevent him from screaming. I quickly took a fighting stance and blasted one of the stallions off of Midnight, with a spell. The other two stallions quickly realized they had been spotted and preceded to grab Midnight and hold him so he couldn't escape. I only glared at the stallions before speaking in the harshest and most frightening voice I could.

"Who the hell are you and what are you doing with my son." I bellowed like a roar. The stallions flinched and I could see Midnight's eyes full of tears. The stallion holding Midnight loosened his grip on Midnight's mouth.

"Mom, mom help!" Midnight yelled. It broke my heart to see what was happening in front of me. Without even a warning the stallion I had knocked down with my spell had stood up and began charging his own spell. I was hit with a green aura blast and was sent flying back a few feet. I landed on my back and could the crash of a window. Midnight's screams of fear and his pleading continued to fill the air as I quickly tried to rescue him. Before I even had to time to act again, I the unicorn stallion yell towards the stallion holding Midnight.

"Get him out of here now. We are drawing too much attention to ourselves." He commanded. The stallion quickly nodded and spread his dark blue wings. He quickly flew out the window, holding Midnight as he continued to cry for help. I began to run towards the window before a burley earth pony stopped me.

"And where do you think you're going?" he asked, followed by an evil laugh.

"What are you doing with my son?" I yelled as loud as I could. The unicorn then spoke in a calm but deep and a non-empathetic voice.

"We have been ordered to catch and restrain this creature. That is all you need to know."

"By who? Tell me now or you shall face the wrath of not only me but Princess Celestia as well." I shouted. The two ponies looked at each other and gave a quick nod.

"Brother, time to go. We must inform him and do a little more research than I had originally anticipated." The unicorn said, his horn glowing a dark green. Within a moment they had both vanished. I quickly ran to the window and began to frantically search for any signs of Midnight. I scanned for several minutes, losing hope with each passing second. I suddenly couldn't take it anymore as I collapsed onto the floor bawling.

"Midnight... how could I let this happen to you." I said aloud, through my chocked tears. I continued to cry until I heard several knocks on the door. For some odd reason, all of my friends were there. They quickly rushed into the room and embraced me in a loving hug.

"Twi, what happened here?" Applejack asked.

"It's Midnight. He... he was taken from me." Twilight said, stilling sobbing uncontrollably. Everypony gasped at this news.

"What... what are you talking about Twi?" a very shocked Applejack asked.

"I just woke up and heard a strange noise. I came in to check on Midnight and he was being foalnapped by three stallions. I don't know why they were doing it, but they did. They took him away from me and when I tried to stop them I was overpowered." I said, trying to recollect myself.

"It's alright Twi, we will find him. Don't worry, we won't rest easy until we know he is safe." Applejack reassured me.

"I couldn't even smile from the exhaustion of crying and lack of sleep. I was soon crying myself to sleep, while all my other friends were also crying at the loss of their only son/nephew.
