(Part 14)
A year has past since Shenran and Fluttershy left for his home world and now are on their way back home.
Princess Celestia was just sitting in her throne room doing paperwork, when she heard a voice, "Princess Celestia can you hear me? This is Shenran".
She realized it was coming from the com device sitting on the table next to her. She picks up the microphone on the com device and says "Hello Shenran. So good to hear from you again. How's everything going?".
"Everything is good. We should be home in two days. Do you know of a safe place to land?" he asked.
"As a matter of fact, you can land here at the castle, right where you took off. We put in a landing pad for you" she said.
"Thank you Princess Celestia" said Fluttershy.
"Will you gather the girls there for when we get there?" he asked.
"Sure thing. See you soon" said Celestia putting the microphone down.
"I can't wait to see everypony again honey" said Fluttershy.
"Me too honey. Me too" he said with a little worry in his tone.
(Two days later)
"I can't wait to see big brother and big sister again" said Sweetie Belle.
As the ship closes in on Canterlot Castle, Shenran slows the descent down so he doesn't damage the new landing pad. After the ship lands and the dust clears, Shenran opens the door. "I'll be out in a bit. I need to shut down the ship first" he said to Fluttershy.
As she steps outside, she sees all their friends standing there waiting for them.
"Hello everypony, we're home" she said.
"Welcome home Fluttershy" said Twilight, "Where's Shenran?".
"He'll...ah...be out shortly" she said looking back at the ship.
A short time later.
"Hello everypony" said Shenran as he walked out of the ship.
As he walks out Twilight asks "Who are you?".
"What are you talking about Twilight, it's me Shenran" he said.
"What happened to you darling?" asked Rarity in shock.
"Yes Shenran, please tell us what happened to you while you were gone?" asked Princess Celestia.
"Ok" he said, "It all started one year ago".
(1 year before)
As they were traveling back to his home Planet Kuribon, Shenran is telling Fluttershy a bit about the planet. 80% of the population are warriors, while the other 20% are non-warrior type.
Soon they arrive at his planet. "State you passcode to enter the air space" said a voice over the com link.
"Kur Gra Mut" said Shenran as Fluttershy looked at him.
"Passcode accepted. Welcome home Prince Shenran" said the voice.
As he steers the ship to the docking bay he says "Welcome to my home honey".
After he lands and opens the door, he steps out first. There is a group of soldiers standing at attention waiting for him. "It has been a while Prince Shenran. How was your trip?" one soldier asked.
"Listen, drop the Prince junk. I'm no longer a prince. I gave that up" he said.
Just then Fluttershy walks out. The soldiers then draw their weapons and point them at her. She cowers down scared, when Shenran jumps in front of her and says, "Drop your weapons. This is my wife you're aiming at".
The soldiers do as they are told. "What do you mean, 'your wife' sir?" another soldier asked.
"Do I need to explain myself to a low ranked worm like you?" he asked with some anger.
"N-n-n-no sir" said all the soldiers saluting.
As Shenran and Fluttershy leave the bay, he asks her "Are you ok?". She just nodded and stuck closer to him.
As they are looking around the castle, a servant girl saw them and asked, "Is there anything I can do for you Pri….". He stopped her right there putting up his hand.
"Please, just call me Shenran. No more of this Prince stuff and pass that on to everyone else here" he said. She just nodded.
"Now to answer your question, yes there is something you can help with. Can you tell me where my mother's grave is?" he asked.
"It's out in the back courtyard" she said. Shenran thanked her. They then continued on their way.
When they reached the courtyard there was a big statue off to one side that looked like his mother. "That must be it honey" said Fluttershy.
They head over to the statue. There was a plaque on it that reads, "Here lies a loving wife and mother. She died much too soon".
"Hello mom. I miss you. I had a dream that you were still alive and father was nice. But I knew it wasn't real after putting some things together" he said. "I came back home just for a little trip. I'd like you to meet my wife Fluttershy. She is very kind and I love her very much" he continued and motioned for her to come over.
"He-he-hello. My name is Fluttershy" she said.
"She's a bit shy mom but that's one of the many things I love about her. She may not be human and that's ok" he said kissing her.
"Hello my dear daughter-in-law" said a voice coming from the statue.
"EEEEPP!" Fluttershy screamed and hid behind Shenran.
Just then a white figure started to appear. Shenran looks at the figure and asks "Mom?".
"Yes sweetie. It's good to see you again. Fluttershy dear you can come out now" she said. Fluttershy slowly came out from behind Shenran.
"So where did you two meet?" asked his mother as she stepped onto the ground.
"In Ponyville. In a place called Equestria" he said.
"Ponyville!" she said in shock.
"Have you heard of it before?" he asked.
"Yes, I have" she said.
"How?" asked Fluttershy.
"I've been there before" she said.
"What were you doing there?" he asked.
"Actually I use to live there. Then your father came, and like you we fell in love. He was a much nicer and kinder man back then" she said.
"You use to live there? I thought I was the only human to live there" he said.
"I wasn't a human back then sweetie" she said putting her hands on his shoulders.
"Wait! What!?" he asked shaking his head. "Are you trying to tell me, you use to be…." he looked at Fluttershy the back at her "A pony!?" he asked.
"Yes" she said.
"Do you know how a Promethium Orb got to Equestria?" Shenran asked.
"After we used the wish to turn me human, I guess one orb made its way there instead of staying here like the rest" she said.
"Um….excuse me….mom" Fluttershy said shyly.
"Yes my daughter?" mom asked.
"Can I ask...what your name is?" Fluttershy asked.
"Come to think of it. I don't know your name either" Shenran said.
"My name is….SHINJU" she said.
"That's a lovely name" Fluttershy said.
"I'm sorry, but my time is running out here" Shinju said.
"It was nice to see you mom" said Shenran hugging her.
"Bye bye mom" said Fluttershy.
With that she faded away. Shenran said a silent prayer for his mother to have safe travel to the afterlife.
The next month Shenran continued to show Fluttershy around his world. He also made sure to take notes for Twilight to have in her library of other worlds.
"Your world is nice" she said starting to look sad.
"What's wrong honey?" he asked.
"Well back home their getting ready to celebrate Hearth's Warming Eve next week".
"I think I read something about that in a history book back in Canterlot Castle" he said.
"We don't need anything really since this is our first one together. All I need is you" she said.
"But let's still get a small tree to put in our room (technically his room) and decorate it. I'm sure we can find something to use" he said.
They found a small 3' tree in the courtyard and set it up in their room and put random objects on it for decorations.
"In two weeks, I need to address my subjects and let them know what I've got planned for them and I'd like you by my side" he said. She nodded yes.
Hearth's Warming has now come and gone. Shenran made an announcement that in two days he was going to hold a meeting and everyone has to attend.
Two days later on the day of the meeting.
"May I have your attention please. I would like you all to meet my wife Fluttershy. She lives on another planet far from here. My father came to her planet to destroy it and he hurt her in front of me while I was living a new life there, so I had to eliminate him. So now that I'm in charge. My first order of business is to halt all attacks on any planet that does not pose a threat to us. If any of you dare bring harm to her home, you'll answer to me" he said.
After the meeting, they went back to their room to rest. "Well it's been three months now since we were married. Are you still ok with not having kids honey?" he asked.
"Well" she said, "You said it yourself, we are of different species, so we can't have kids".
"Honey?" he said.
"Ok, I do want kids" she said starting to cry, "But there's no way we can". He held her in his arms.
Later that night when they were in bed sleeping, Shenran was not able to sleep. He got out of bed and goes out on his balcony to get some air.
"Mom I don't know if you can still hear me, but Fluttershy wishes to have children and so do I. But I know we can't, being different and all" he said looking back at Fluttershy sleeping, "I wish there was something I could do". Just as he said that, unknown to him a shooting star flew by shining brightly as he said "I wish".
He got back in bed, turned on his side, put his arm over Fluttershy and gave her a kiss then went to sleep.
The next morning he wake up with Fluttershy looking at him strangely. "Good morning honey" he said. She said nothing but continued to stare. "What is it? Why are you looking at me like that?" he said.
"Wha-wha-what happened to you?" she said lifting up his right arm.
When he looked at his arm, something was wrong. What he saw was not his arm at all, but a leg like Fluttershy's. He got out of bed and fell down. He looked around to see if he stepped on something only to see more legs like Fluttershy's. He then noticed his body was different. "AAAAHH! WHAT HAPPENED TO ME?" he yelled. He tried to stand only to fall again. Fluttershy went to help him up for balance. "Take me to a mirror?" he asked. She walked him to the floor length mirror in his room. What he saw was not the person he was yesterday, but a pony stallion.
He still had his brown hair, his body was a cream color and his cutie mark now moved to his back end. To his surprise he also had wings. He fell to the ground and started crying. "What's wrong dear?" Fluttershy asked.
"I don't know what happened to me. You must not like me now" he said.
She just laid down resting her head on him saying, "I still love you no matter what you look like. I guess my wish came true".
"Your wish?" he asked.
"Last night I saw a shooting star and wished for a way we could have children" she said.
"Last night I was wishing there was something I could do cause you wanted children as I told my mom looking at the sky but didn't see a shooting star" he said, "Maybe mom granted our wishes".
They sat up and looked at each other. "You'll help me get used to this new body right?" he asked.
"Yes, and I'll help you fly too" she said kissing him.
Over the next three months Fluttershy has helped Shenran get use to his new body and life as a pony and teaching him how to fly. He still needs practice but he is glad she is here to help.
The time for them to head back to Ponyville was coming close. He held one final meeting to say goodbye to everyone. They made a stop by his mother's grave to say goodbye.
They got back onto the ship, that now has been modified for him to control with his new body. They took off and headed back for home.
(Present time)
"And that's what happened" Shenran told everypony.
"Amazing" said Twilight then saw Fluttershy looking a bit flush. "Are you ok Fluttershy?" she asked.
"Oh, I'm just….URP!" she started to say before running back into the ship with puffed out cheeks.
"Is she ok?" Celestia asked.
"Yes. We just…." he said hesitant, "Are…".
"I'm pregnant everypony" Fluttershy said exiting the ship.
"Congratulations you two" everypony cheered.
He then noticed something different with the three fillies. "Hey Sweetie Belle, what are those?" he asked.
"Oh these" she said as all three fillies turned to show him.
"WE GOT OUR CUTIE MARKS!" they all screamed.
"Congrats you three. You'll have to tell me about it later" he said. She just nodded.
They all went into the castle so the couple could rest after their long trip.
Months pass as they got settled in Fluttershy's cottage for their new home. Shenran is helping take care of Fluttershy before she has their baby. He now knows how to fly perfectly with help from Rainbow Dash and Twilight as well. He even took Scootaloo for flying trips.
Then one night while they were sleeping.
"Shenran honey" Fluttershy said waking him up, "It's time".
"Oh it's 2:15 in the morning" he said still half asleep.
"No, it's time. The baby is coming!" She said.
"WHAT!" He said waking upon shock and falling out of bed.
He rushed her to the hospital where she gave birth to not one baby, but twins.
The next morning after the babies were born he sent for the others to come see them.
With Fluttershy lying on her back in bed holding a baby on each side of her, Shenran introduced everypony to their children.
On Fluttershy's right side is their daughter, she has a light yellow body and light pink hair like her mother, named Allison. On her left side is their son, he has a tan body and light blonde hair named Broly.
"Awww! They're adorable" said Twilight.
Just then little Allison started to cry. Shenran started looking for her binky. "Is this what you're looking for sugarcube" said Applejack handing him the binky.
"Yes thanks" he said taking it and putting it in Allison's mouth. She was still fussing a bit so Fluttershy tried singing a song to her.
"Hush little baby don't say a word, momma's gonna buy you a mockingbird, and if that mockingbird don't sing…" she sang.
"Momma's gonna use her stare on it" Shenran cut in giggling.
"Shenran!" Fluttershy said glaring at him. The others just laughed, as did Shenran.
When Fluttershy was glaring at him some of her hair fell over Broly's nose making him sneeze. "Awwww!" everypony cooed. Just after that he yawned and went to sleep, Allison was already asleep.
"I think we better all be leaving" said Rarity. They all said their goodbyes and left the room.
Shenran took Allison and put her in her bassinet, then put Broly in his.
"I'll go have them bring us some lunch. You get some rest while I'm gone" he said giving here a kiss.
After they ate they started feeding their babies with bottles. Shenran was feeding Broly while Fluttershy feed Allison.
"Do you remember the day we went to the Crystal Empire and I looked into the Crystal Heart. Well what I saw was our family here" he said. Fluttershy then smiled.
There soon was a knock on their hospital room door. "Come in" Shenran said sitting the bottle down to burp Broly.
In came Princess Cadance and Shining Armor and what appears to be a stroller with a little white alicorn with a light purple mane in it.
"Hello you two. I hope we're not interrupting anything" said Cadance.
"Not at all. We're just feeding the babies" said Fluttershy. Just then there was a big 'BURP' from Broly.
The little white alicorn just giggled. "Who is this little one?" Shenran asked.
"This is our daughter Flurry Heart" said Shining Armor. Shenran handed over Broly to Fluttershy to go meet Flurry Heart.
"Hello there Flurry Heart. Aren't you adorable" he said. Just then she flew up onto his back giggling. He carefully walked over to Fluttershy and the babies. "Flurry Heart these are our fillies. Maybe one day you can play with them" he continued.
"What cute fillies. What are their names?" asked Cadance walking over to them.
"This one here is Broly and this one is Allison" Fluttershy said.
Just then Flurry Heart flew off Shenran and onto the bed, then waddled over to the babies and gave each a kiss on their heads. "Awww. friends already" said Shining Armor.
"I'd like to thank you again for letting us have our wedding at your castle last year" he said.
"It's no problem" Cadance said. Then the twins yawned.
"I think we better be heading out" said Cadance, "Flurry Heart say goodbye to them".
"Bah Bah (giggles)" said Flurry Heart.
Cadance, Shining Armor and Flurry Heart then left.
The next day the doctor came in and checked the babies to make sure they are doing good. He gave them a clean bill of health and let them check-out and head home. They informed the others they are checking out. Later as they headed out of the hospital the others were outside waiting for them.
"We all got you a gift" said Applejack.
What Shenran and Fluttershy saw was a baby stroller.
"We all made this together" said Twilight.
"The wood is from Sweet Apple Acres" said Applejack.
"The gems are from me" said Spike.
"The fabric is from me" said Rarity.
"Both of your cutie marks were painted by me" said Twilight.
"This Wonderbolt doll is from me" said Rainbow Dash.
"And this gator doll is from me" said Pinkie Pie.
"Thanks everypony. It's wonderful" said Fluttershy as she laid the babies in it.
Everypony said goodbye as the couple walked their babies home.
When they got home Angel Bunny was reading a book with some other animals with the same book. When he saw them enter he ran up to them and said, "Welcome home mom and dad". Fluttershy translated for him.
"Hello Angel" said Shenran, "I'd like you to meet your baby brother and sister. Broly and Allison". Angel just made the "Awww" look.
"I just realized we don't have a crib for them both" said Fluttershy.
With that Angel told them to follow him upstairs. When they got upstairs they saw two beautiful cradles. One in a sky blue and one in pink. There was a card on one. Shenran reads the card.
"These are gifts for your babies from us. Signed Princess Celestia and Princess Luna".
They put the babies in them and they really liked them. Shenran put the doll from Rainbow Dash in with Broly and the doll from Pinkie in with Allison. They cuddled up with them and went to sleep.
"You know that's not a bad idea honey. Why don't we take a rest as well. It's been a really busy day" he said. Fluttershy just nodded in agreement.
End part 14. The part where he's talking about their trip I didn't go into to much detail cause it's a flashback. Those aren't always detail fully.
Shinju is japanese for pearl. My friend though that was good for my story.
There is a Dragonball Z reference in this and it will be a continued one in any and all new parts. I put a santa clause 3 reference in here.
