Happy 4th of July, this is going up early because I am working at a fire works stand this summer just as last year. I completely forgot that Pinkie Pie was pregnant before the last Independence Day special do that baby is very over due and I can't find mention of Fluttershy's foal anywhere...I'll fix it. So when I start talking about Rain that is Fluttershy and Big Mac's son (His name is Rainy and he's a pegasus and the spitting image of his aunt Applejack).
Reviews
Tenshi-Yoko - Thank you soo much!
Wildfur123 - Your reviews are always so sweet and make me smile thank you for your support!
Scootaloo walked up to Applebloom and Sweetie Bell where they sat on a blanket in the school yard for the fireworks safety demonstration, "I'm ready to talk about what happened at camp."
"I'll ask Applejack if we can have a sleep over in the club house tonight," Applebloom got up and ran over to Flam to ask where her sister was.
Sweetie Bell put an arm around Scootaloo as she sat down, "I love you."
"I love you too," Scootaloo hugged her friend back.
Flam and Twilight stood at a table with different types of fireworks Flam had made along with some tool they were going to use to take the fireworks apart. Applebloom walked up to them, "Is ma sister still at the house?"
"I would think so, I went back there like an hour ago and they still had about 10 batches of mini pies to make," Flam answered.
"Thanks, Twilight are you okay?" asked Applebloom.
"I drank more tea last night than I probably have in my life, and I haven't eaten so Flash went to get me food," Twilight explained.
Flash
I literally just went back to the castle and asked Spike to make them packed lunches.
"He's getting me food too because he's awesome," Flam nodded.
"Goals," Applebloom responded before walking away.
"What?" asked Twilight.
"It's teen for 'you're cool and I want to be like you', I've learned alot from living in that house," Flam sighed.
"I know Applejack will get mad if I ask her but what room is going to become the nursery when she starts to have foals?" asked Twilight.
"Actually the plan is for Granny Smiths room to become the nursery, I'm just really glad that's not right next to my room but it is right next to Applebloom's which stinks for her so we may switch her room with the guest room," Flam explained.
"Sometimes I forget normal people don't get lost in their homes that magically grew out of the ground," Twilight giggled.
"Princess problems," Flam chuckled.
Flim used his magic to take a cupcake pan out of the oven and put another back in, "We're almost done, love."
"Ah think after we clean up Ah'm gonna take a nap before the contest," Applejack laid her head on the table.
"Why have you been so tired lately? You've been sleeping fine," Flim took Applejack's hat off and started stroking her mane.
"Do ya remember when ah went to the doctor ta see if we could start havin foals?" Applejack sighed.
Fluttershy
Wait, was I supposed to do that too?
"And the doctor said you were completely fine, did you not tell me something?" Flim sat next to Applejack and wrapped an arm round her.
"It's just, Applebloom was a high risk pregnancy because my mom's weight percentage was too low, the doctor said ah would gain weight anyway but Ah'm nervous it wont be enough, I just can't, eating anymore than ah already do is makin me feel sick, what's gonna happen when ah 'ave to eat for two? That is if we don't 'ave twins first," tears began to pool in Applejack's eyes.
"Everything is going to be okay, love, I'll start making food with more fat and ingredients to help you gain weight with out having to eat more," Flim kissed Applejack on the forehead, "Go take a nap, I'll call you down when Big Mac gets here to set up the contest."
"Thank you dear," Applejack nuzzled Flim before taking her hat upstairs with her.
Applebloom ran into the kitchen, "Can I have a sleepover in the tree house?"
"Yes but don't slam the door when you leave, your sister is sleeping," Flim shushed.
"Thanks," Applebloom ran back out the door and slammed it behind her.
Flim sighed, "Her teenage stage is going to be similar to mine, that's not good." Suddenly the piano in the other room played a note, Flim looked into the room and saw nothing out of the ordinary, "Must have been when she slammed the door."
Rarity walked into the Cakes kitchen to find Pinkie Pie, about to pop with her foal, sitting on the floor pouring rock crystals into individual baggies for the snack table, "Hello Pinkie Pie, where's Cheese?"
"He went to get more plastic bags," Pinkie explained.
"I just heard that you helped Flam put together the fireworks demonstration, I wanted to keep you company because you couldn't go, I'm sorry you can't leave the house because your so pregnant," Rarity sat on a chair at the table near her friend.
Pinkie Pie smiled, "Oh, that's alright, I won't be pregnant for much longer...because my water just broke."
Fluttershy and Flash stood in the back of the group of school ponies watching the safety demonstration, Twilight looked at Fluttershy and said, "And we never shoot fireworks at another pony or animal," making Fluttershy nod. Rainbow Dash flew up and whispered in her ear and they both ran off. Flam and Twilight looked at each other then at Flash who followed after them. They both shrugged and continued their speech.
Spike ran up to the kitchen door to the Apple house and knocked. Flim came to answer, "Hey Spike, did you run here?"
"Yes, but Applejack has to get to the hospital, Pinkie Pie is having her foal!" Spike gasped.
Cheese Sandwich
I'm so, so happy, I'm so, so nervoucited, and I'm so, so ready to finally meet my wife and I's baby boy or girl.
"Okay, Applejack is taking a nap so I'll get her, why don't you start slowly walking their and we'll catch up," Flim handed Spike a glass of water, "But drink this first."
"Thanks," Spike started chugging the water as Flim headed upstairs.
Applejack was sleeping under a pile of blankets when Flim opened their bedroom door, "Honey, If Pinkie Pie was having her foal would you want me to tell you?"
"Ah would be mad if ya didn't," Applejack mumbled back.
"Okay, we should get to the hospital because Pinkie Pie is having her foal," Flim announced.
Applejack sat up quickly throwing the blankets onto the floor, "I'm up, lets go."
Big Mac sat in Rainy's nursery holding the little foal as he slept. Rainy started to squirm and try to escape his blanket when there was a knock at the door. Big Mac went to check it and Twilight's whole guard staff stood outside. Emerald Waters was at the head of the pack, "Pinkie Pie is having her foal and we came to get you."
"All of you?" Big Mac questioned.
"We need more bonding hours, there's actually a required minimum," Little Dot explained.
Celestia
It is necessary and proper.
"We also have to do something to celebrate holidays together," Shadow Blade added.
"We're going to try and make a bouquet of surgical glove balloons for Pinkie Pie," Lucky Star announced.
After the fireworks demonstration, Flam and Twilight were packing up while Flash sat with the CMC, "We're going to the hospital so see the new baby as soon as Twilight and Flam are ready."
"The second time sitting in the waiting room isn't going to be as exciting as the first," Applebloom sighed.
"Except each time one of my sisters friends will be missing," Sweetie Bell pointed out.
"And meeting a new foal is always interesting, I guess," Scootaloo shrugged, "But waiting in general isn't that fun."
By this point the front desk nurses just gave the large gaggle of ponies their own separate waiting room for all of the upcoming births in the group. The floor was literally littered with balloon gloves, Blood Splatter sighed, "I seriously underestimated your commitment to this."
"Just go steal more," Flitter encouraged.
"Do you think this is enough balloons?" asked Flim.
"Kill joy!" Flam yelled grabbing his brother and pulling him under the balloons.
Applejack
He gone.
"How ever are we going to get all these balloons into the birthing room?" asked Rarity.
"I'm going to use my magic at transport them," Little Dot explained.
Nurse Red Heart walked in and announced, "It's a girl, you may see them now."
As everyone filed into the room, which was for two patients but was given to Pinkie to accommodate her guests. The new foal with curly brown hair and a light rose gold coat was awake and flailing her hooves around in excitement as Pinkie held her, "Her name is Mocha Cup because she looks like she drank coffee."
"Oh Pinkie, she's so beautiful," Rarity commented as her friend passed her the foal.
Sweetie Bell stood on her tip toes to see Mocha, "Can I hold her?"
"If you three sit on the floor over their you can hold her after Pinkie's friends," Cheese agreed.
"This kid is going to be so awesome," Rainbow cheered as she cuddled Mocha.
Soarin and Rainbow Dash
How do you know if a foal is going to be awesome?
I can just tell, it's a gift.
"Is she gonna be a party planner?" asked Applebloom.
"She'd be the best pony for it," Applejack took Mocha into her arms and hugged her tightly.
Fluttershy took Mocha and held her as Big Mac held Rainy who just stared at the new foal, "Rainy this is Mocha Cup, you and her are going to be friends when you get older."
"Eeeyup," Big Mac nodded.
"The guards have a surprise to celebrate Mocha's birth," Twilight held the foal as dozens of balloons from the waiting room appeared in the ceiling and rained down on the group making Mocha Cup giggle.
"Awww, baby's first party, I love it thank you," Pinkie Pie smiled.
"And we brought you some mini pies because you won't be able to attend the contest tonight," Flim gave Cheese a box.
"Thanks, seriously everyone knows hospital food is gross," Cheese whispered.
"And we relocated the fireworks launching point so you can watch the display from this room," Flam added.
"That's so wonderful thank you," Pinkie smiled.
Applebloom
Not that they'll tell you but Flim is so excited to be a father and Flam to be an uncle, I always catch them talking about how much they're going to teach Flim and Applejack's foals.
"Scootaloo why don't you hold Mocha Cup first to show your friends," Fluttershy handed the new foal to her daughter.
"Okay, Mom," Scootaloo held Mocha to demonstrate, "You always have to make sure you support the head because the neck muscles are weak and make sure you hold their legs like you are hugging them."
Applebloom stood on a soap box in the center of Ponyville next to a long table with a megaphone, "Alright everypony line up at the empty table and I'll explain the rules, you eat your mini pie here, you take the tin to that table over there," Applebloom pointed to a table where Flam and Big Mac waved from, "And get your next pie from over there," Applebloom pointed to another table where Applejack and Flim waved, "So if you want to leave the race just run out in a clockwise direction just like the flow of traffic. Is everypony ready?" the crowd answered with a very loud applause with cheers, "Ready, set, go!"
"Rarity, Zecora, Aloe, Vera, Shadow Blade, Pipsqueak, and Zipporwhill are out after their 3rd pie," Applebloom announced.
"Filthy Rich, Mayor Mare, Sweetie Bell, and Sunny Daze, have dropped out of their 6th pies," Applebloom spoke hoof bumping Sweetie Bell as she walked by.
"Cheerily, Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon, Nurse Redheart, Doc Top, Mane Goodall, and Doctor Horse, are out after their 8th pies, if all the doctors are out is that a serving?" Applebloom joked.
"Tender Taps, Scootaloo, Derpy, Lyra, Thunderlane, and Peppermint Twist, are still alive an kickin after 25 pies, ah'm impressed," Applebloom shrugged.
"And just finishin her 32nd pie Lyra Heartstring is the winner!" Applebloom called and the crowd cheered, "Please enjoy this crate of Zap Apple Jam."
"Sweet, I love rainbows," Lyra took the crate and walked away.
Most of the adults sat on blankets while all the school ponies, Flim, Flam, Flash, and Twilight stood around while the kids got themselves into groups and picked leaders. First Base approached Applebloom, "Hey Applebloom, do you want to join my group with Rumble, Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon, and I?"
"No thanks, ah'm already in a group with Sweetie Bell, Scootaloo, Pipsqueak, and Tender Taps, but thanks for the offer," Applebloom smiled and started to walk away.
"Please be in our group, we'll let you be the leader," First Base begged.
"Ah'm already the leader of mah own group, thanks," Applebloom turned and walked away considerably more awkwardly and faster then she was going to the first time.
Discord
Skirt, skirt as the kids say.
From a ways away Twilight and Flam were watching the whole thing as Flash and Flim set up tables, Flam sighed, "I'm going to have to watch that boi aren't I?"
"Probably, maybe I should talk to Applejack," Twilight replied.
"Brother why aren't you helping us? I can understand Twilight but you need to put your big boy panties on," Flim smirked as his brother cringed.
"Just leave them to their judging, and I still don't understand why ponies hate the words panties and moist," Flash shrugged.
"A princess does not judge her subjects, she merely observes them for problems that require her attention, and don't say that word," Twilight spoke demandingly.
Flash leaned close to Twilight's ear and whispered, "Moist," very deeply and caused her and Flim to shutter.
"You're so weird," Twilight pushed Flash way towards Flim.
Flim pushed Flash back, "I don't want him, he keeps you safe."
Applejack and Fluttershy sat on a blanket with Rainy attempting to crawl by flapping his wings to move forward when Shinning Armor, Cadence, and Flurry Heart joined them. Cadence sat next to Fluttershy, "Hey girls what's up?"
"Pinkie Pie had her foal, a girl named Mocha Cup," Applejack responded.
"Seriously? That is awesome, we should go visit them tomorrow," Shinning smiled.
Mocha Cup
*Giggles*
"Of course we will, is Pinkie Pie still going to live with the Cakes?" asked Cadence.
"Actually Cheese and Pinkie own a house and when Cheese is away Pinkie stays with the Cakes but now that they started having foals she's always going to live in the house but of course spend her days with the Cakes baking and watching all the kids," Fluttershy answered.
"Speaking of watching kids I'm going to go check on Soarin, Rainbow, and the guards are doing, they look suspicious," Shinning remarked.
"And my oldest child is going to get into trouble," Cadence sighed.
"Same goes for ma twins," Applejack looked to the top of the hill where Flim, Flam, Twilight, and Flash were obviously not really supervising the kids while they were acting like kids.
Fluttershy started giggling, "I'm just imagining you with twins, it would be so funny."
Applebloom
And loud.
"Twin pregnancies are way harder that single foals," Cadence let out a small laugh.
"Ah'm doomed," Applejack sighed.
"Just make sure you drink alot of water," Fluttershy rubbed Applejack's back soothingly.
"I wish someone had told me that before I got pregnant, I was so dehydrated," Cadence laughed.
"What in tarnation are they up to?" Applejack questioned as Emerald Waters, Flitter, Sailor, Forest Mist, Rainbow, and Soarin flying towards the hill where the fireworks were set up.
"It looks like they're getting Flash in on it too," Fluttershy pointed out.
"Oh, Rainbow Dash has a megaphone," Cadence noticed, "This could either be really good or really bad."
"Alright everypony instead of just siting around waiting for the sun to go down and the fireworks show to begin, the pegasi guards of Princess Twilight are going to attempt to follow Soarin and I in a Wonderbolts routine, Soarin is going to lead and call out every move before we attempt it and we'll see how well they can all keep up," Rainbow announced hovering over the crowd.
Rainbow landed and gave the megaphone to Soarin, "Any last words before you embarrass yourselves?"
Starlight Glimmer
That sounds like a writing prompt.
"You should have said that before Emerald was born because he's been embarrassing himself and me since about that time," Forest Mist laughed as her brother let out a huge, dramatic gasp.
"Every guard on my team is completely capable to adapt to any situation," Flash paused, "If it involves protecting Twilight, which this does not."
"Senpai does not have faith in us," Flitter sighed.
"I love you all dearly and I know you will all do the best you can," everypony 'aww'-ed at Flash's comment.
"We get it Flash is adorable, flyers get into formation," Soarin yelled.
The valley was silent while the guards lined up with Rainbow and Soarin. Soarin was in the lead with Flash and Rainbow on either side, Emerald Waters and Forest Mist mirroring each other, and Sailor and Flitter mirroring each other at the ends. Sailor and Emerald Waters kept bumping into each other, Forest Mist and Flitter kept trying to go faster than each other then make a truce and fall back in line multiple times, and Flash and Rainbow managed to switch sides twice just to confuse Soarin who smashed into the ground for the landing 5 moves early.
After the train wreck everypony cheered because it was very entertaining and the fireworks show started. The fireworks were nice (I hate fireworks so I can't really say much else without being negative) and Pinkie Pie and Cheese watched from the hospital room window with their new born Mocha Cup.
After the fire works Applebloom, Sweetie Bell, and Scootaloo went to the tree house with their sleeping bags. Applebloom set a bowl of apple flavored popcorn in Scootaloo's lap, "Now eat this an tell us what's eatin ya."
"It's just, some people at camp shared about how they hate the way they look or other things about them that they can't change and I thought I was the only one like that," Scootaloo sighed.
"I know it's easy to say but confidence is something you force, when I was little and afraid to sing in public it was no different then singing on stage, the only thing was how I felt, I knew it was going to be okay if it went well or not, most ponies don't naturally think that way you have to train your self to," Sweetie Bell explained.
"And no matter what we'll always be here for you," Applebloom smiled.
Boom. 4th of July chapter posted before the 4th. IT CAN BE DONE! Love you all so much and please have a safe and happy holiday!
