AN: I do not own MLP, it belongs to Hasbro. I do not own "Five Score Divided by Four" either
-my p.o.v.-
A stunned silence filled the room as reality set in "Dad...I thought she was dead..."
"I thought she was too my daughter, I thought she died in th-" he was cut off by his cell phone going off as I saw Casey on the screen somehow got a payphone to work.
"Answer it dad, it's her, look at the screen." I said pointing a hoof at it. When he saw that it was her, he no longer hesitated and put it on speaker so all of us could hear.
"Hello? Casey? You there?" my dad said as his voice started to quiver
"Yeah it is me Aramil, been a long time hasn't it?" a soft spoken voice said from the speaker "I got your number from an old associate of yours, Shawna. She got turned into Applebloom. We are both safe...for now anyway..."
"No you two are not," I said with fear in my tone "We can see you on the t.v., troops are about to get you from what the reporter is saying and you only have a few minutes to escape. Listen closely, I saw the Southern Cascade Mountains less than a mile away when the chopper was doing the flyover the area, tell Applebloom to head for the forest there and you take off into the cloud layers. I will be there soon to get you both since I know an escape route we can take from a brief stint I had as part of a study on rock composition in the mountains from east to west. GO NOW HUMMERSHY!" As soon as I said that, we all saw her hang up and take off out of the screen with about 50 seconds to spare
"I will be back soon everypony. Dad, take care of the situation with Amanda while I am gone."
"I am coming with you Dashie" Pinkie said following me to the back door
"No you are not, you are pregnant and are an Earth Pony, even with the windwalker spell you could not keep up with me if you tried"
"She's not...but I am coming along for backup" my mom said stepping forward "besides, it will give me some quality time with my daughter"
"No bucking way you can keep up with me when I am at top speed mom"
"True, but you and I both know that you aren't gonna do it so I can keep up just in case you need my magic."
"Bucking dammit..." I muttered under my breath but my mom heard me
"Watch your mouth missy, it is not nice for a grown mare to use such foul language"
"Oh really? After all the cussing you have used?"
"Drop it now Dash..." my dad said getting ready with Amanda
"Fine..." I replied with a defeated tone as me and my mom took off. We decided to fly below radar level but above eye level with the first part of the flight being dead silent, it wasn't until we were over Texas before either of us spoke.
"So...um...how's the weather dear?" my mom weakly chuckled as I deadpanned
"Ok, first of all, it is 28 degrees and sunny with a dew point of 77 and the pressure is 30.00 inches and falling due to a cold front advancing from the north-northwest that is causing the winds to blow at 15-25mph with gusts up to 30mph. There will be some ice and snow in this area in a couple hours so we have to hurry. Second, that was a crappy and ironic attempt at starting a conversation."
"Sorry, it is just..."
"Just what mom?"
"I feel like I failed as a mother for you and I to become so distant. It was like you despised me"
"Mom...no...you didn't fail...remember what you always told me as a little foal and filly? "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction and it may not be the one you want" You never seemed to want to hear my input, it was your way or noway, and you keeping me from Pinks is what drove the final wedge between us. If you would have just left us alone there would have been no problems. I know you didn't want for me to be like you and mess up as a human, but that is part of nature, mistakes happen and you have to make them to learn from them. Besides, look how wrong you were, me and her are gonna have foals and I am gonna be a loving nurturing mother...just like you mom...thanks for letting go of the past, it means a lot"
"No...you are wrong about that being the best way to learn from mistakes. Watching others make mistakes and learning from what you saw. . . . Me for example. My biggest mistake I ever made was not spending time with you as a foal, and then forcing the test on you with pinkie...and you are welcome my dear...daughter...How have you adjusted to being a mare so well?"
"Ok, now I am confused about the test part, but to answer your questiom, I always was one, it feels natural, Tirek just made me a male to throw everything off. Me and Pinks had dreams...link dreams...where we were our true forms so even when I was human I knew what it felt like to be like this. I just hope dad aint getting no grief"
"Same here..." she replied. Meanwhile back east, my dad had just gotten to Amanda's house. It was a nice 3 bed/2 bath house and was neatly kept up.
"Nice house Amanda, but looks can be decieving can't they? My daughter and her wife seems to have taken a liking to you, are you sure you want to do this?"
"Anything to get away from this hell hole...even if it means staying with ponies" she flatly stated in a slightly bitter tone as my dad knocked on the door and her parents came out
"YOUR ROOM! NOW!" they both ordered pointing down the hall
"You looking for a bad time?" my dad said keeping Amanda by his side "We are here to get her things, for she is no longer under your care. Your neighbors up the road, William and Salley, will now be looking after her."
"Do you really think so hot shot?" her father said pulling out his shotgun "Them two have done turned our daughter against us" at that moment, she spoke up
"No, you did it to yourselves with all the abuse, them two care me but you don't"
"Now look here you little brat, you are an ungrateful piece of shit, I should have aborted your ass when I had the chance" her mom said bitterly
"And this is why she is coming with me back to William and Salley...besides.." dad said as he pulled out his badge "do you really want life in prison?"
Her parents paled "That will not be nessesary..." they shut the door and returned a few minutes later with all of Amanda's belongings "Here, take them and her and get the fuck off our property"
"No problem and goodbye" dad picked up all the belongings and placed them over his shoulder before turning to Amanda "Let's go home" She nodded and they startes their walk, when they returned they saw me, mom, Hummershy, and Applebloom were back but I was in a body wrap and laying down "What the hell happened?"
"Dad..." I weakly said "I was shot...and the military is on the way here now.." I then fell asleep as everyone got a worried look on their faces
"Oh shit..." my dad muttered as everyone started to pack and form a plan.
