A Great Change: Chapter Fifty One-Final Recognition
By: Tammo Woodsorel
It may have taken a while but Knight Mare finally built up enough energy to teleport the entire group to Ponyville. Dragonshy had not wanted to do this in order to get into the Capital because, after she does it, she would be completely exhausted and not be able to do anything. So they would easily be able to set up an ambush. Right now, however, Dragonshy just wanted to get to Ponyville as soon as possible to try and stop Captain Fear from whatever it was that he was planning. Dragonshy knew that he was going to do something with Rainbowdash or Fluttershy or both. Still remembering what Captain Fear had done to Rainbowdash before, Dragonshy was intent on not letting anything like that happen to them again.
They all gathered around Knight Mare who started the spell. It was not a spell that took long to cast but Knight Mare had to visualize a place for them to teleport to. That is why teleportation spells were so hard to do since one had to get every detail of the location correct in order to get it right. Knight Mare thought hard about a spot in a Ponyville that she remembered well enough. The only place that she spent any amount of time in was Twilight's library but that room was always changing in some way and she would not be able to teleport.
Terror Tooth saw that Knight Mare was having trouble and said, "Knight Mare, use me."
While Knight Mare had always been gifted in the ways of magic, she never had a good memory. When she had first learned how to teleport she could never do it because she would not be able to remember an area well enough to teleport there. Even now, she was only able to teleport to places that she could see in front of her or in areas in the Capital that she took the time to memorize. She had found a way around this though. Terror Tooth had a flash memory and so she would read his mind and see the scene through his eyes in order to teleport there.
Knight Mare nodded in acceptance of Terror Tooth's suggestion and began to focus on him. Normally there would be absolutely no way for Knight Mare to read Terror Tooth's mind since he was so good at placing defenses to make sure that his mind never gets read. But Terror Tooth left it open to her and allowed her to see what he was thinking. She looked for a scene from Ponyville. It was always easier to find one that he thought a lot about and she found it. It looked like one of the houses in Ponyville. She hoped that she was right and went with it.
In a flash they were no longer in the dark cave where they had fought for their lives. They found themselves on the road in front of a house.
As soon as they got there, they were met by Pinkiepie, "Oh my gosh! You're all back already! Oh you missed it! There was a wedding then there was Princess Cadance only she wasn't Princess Cadance she was the evil queen pony and she had a bunch of ponies with her and the shield that was there wasn't there any more so then the ponies she brought with her came to the wedding but they started..."
She was cut off by Dragonshy silencing her with his hoof as he said, "We don't have time for that, Pinkie. Where are Rainbowdash and Fluttershy?"
He removed his hoof and Pinkie thought for a moment before saying, "Fluttershy was worn out from all the excitement so she went to rest at her house. I don't know where Rainbowdash is, but she's probably at her house."
Immediately Dragonshy gave out orders, "Knight Mare and Renegade get to Fluttershy's house as fast as you can. Terror Tooth and I will head to Rainbowdash's house. Viñyl, Octavia, Bruno, Hugo, and Maxie search the town for any traces of any either of them. Why are there two Renegades?!"
Dragonshy hadn't noticed before that Renegade's clone had come with them.
Renegade dismissed the question with a wave of his hoof, "It's a long story, he'll stay with me."
Dragonshy just shook his head and said, "Fine, just get going everypony."
Dragonshy took off with Terror Tooth hot on his trail. Everypony else went to do their job except for Viñyl and Octavia.
Viñyl had grabbed Octavia and said, "Hold on, I have a feeling we're going to need my secret weapon. I need help moving it."
Octavia nodded and they both made a run for Viñyl's house.
Renegade, his clone, and Knight Mare made it to Fluttershy's house rather quickly. They were terrified to see that the door was missing and had been replaced with a gaping hole that was obviously the result of a magic blast. They rushed in and saw that there had obviously been a struggle. Everything was either broken or thrown onto the floor. The three of them search the entire house for any sign of Fluttershy but they found nothing. They decided that they had better hurry to Dragonshy and tell him that she had been captured. The left the house as quickly as they came.
Terror Tooth was struggling to keep up with Dragonshy, he had never flown this fast in his life. They made it to Rainbowdash's house in a matter of seconds. When they got there, they heard Rainbowdash scream from inside. The door had already been blown off its hinges so the duo dashed right in to see what was going on. When they entered the main hall, they saw Captain Fear and his team of clones waiting at the top of the stairway. The Dragonshy clone was in dragon form and under one arm was a limp form of Fluttershy while under the other was Rainbowdash, tied up and gagged. Dragonshy and Terror Tooth froze at the bottom of the stairs. Dragonshy clenched his teeth as he tried to think of something to do.
Captain Fear laughed and said, "It seems you were too late to save your special someponies, Draco."
Dragonshy couldn't take it anymore. He threw caution to the wind and attempted to charge right at Captain Fear. Captain Fear had been expecting him to do that and used his already charged spell to zap Dragonshy to submission.
Captain Fear laughed again, "You really should study up on magic, Draco. It comes in handy."
Dragonshy struggled to speak, the shock was very painful, "Just tell me what you want, Fear."
Captain Fear gave a wicked smile as he answered, "I want you to suffer. You're going to watch me end the lives of the ponies you hold dear."
Dragonshy just managed to gasp out, "I won't let you."
Captain Fear signaled to Knight Mare's clone to begin charging the teleport spell, "You won't have a choice. No, scratch that. You will have a choice but your indecision will cost you."
Dragonshy saw the teleport spell and needed to know where they were going, "What are you going to do?"
Captain Fear said, "Well it's been a while since I've fed my pet, I'm sure he's very hungry."
With that, they were gone. Dragonshy could feel his consciousness fading. He slumped to the floor as his vision went dark.
He woke up some time later on the ground below Rainbowdash's floating house. He looked around to see Knight Mare, Renegade, Renegade's clone, Terror Tooth, and the stallions. The events that occurred before he passed out eventually caught up with him and he jumped to his hooves.
Knight Mare reported their findings, "I'm sorry Dragonshy but we went to Fluttershy's house and..."
Dragonshy finished her sentence, "She wasn't there?"
Knight Mare just hung her head and nodded, "What do we do now?"
Dragonshy looked around and said, "We get to Froggy Bottom Bog as fast as we can."
Knight Mare was puzzled, "Why in Equestria would we go there?"
Dragonshy said, "He threatened to feed them to his pet."
Knight Mare gasped and the Renegades took off running in the direction of Froggy Bottom Bog. Dragonhsy was in hot pursuit, followed by everypony else.
Knight Mare yelled to the stallions, "Where's Viñyl?"
Hugo said, "She probably went to get her secret weapon, I'll stay back to let her know where we are."
Hugo branched off and the rest of them kept going.
They made it to Froggy Bottom Bog before too long. They hadn't gone in fifty feet before they were met by Dragonshy's, Terror Tooth's, and Knight Mare's clones. Dragonshy got into a fighting stance, he was not going to let these clones get in his way. Knight Mare's Clone began to charge a spell and Dragonshy tried to lunge after it but he was not fast enough. The swamp around them came to life and latched on to all their hooves. Knight Mare copied the spell and trapped the clones as well.
Knight Mare's clone laughed and said, "You can keep us here all you want, Captain Fear just wants him."
As she spoke her horn glowed and the mud that had Dragonshy stuck became elastic. It swung him backwards and then flung him forwards, right over the heads of the clones.
Knight Mare saw this and said, "Where did you throw him?"
Dragonshy's clone answered, "We just sent him deeper into the bog with Captain Fear. We'll be taking care of you."
Maxie yelled, "What makes you think you can take all of us?"
Dragonshy's clone smiled and transformed into his massive dragon form.
Then the Knight Mare clone said, "If that's not enough then take these on too."
Her horn glowed once more as she summoned golems form the depths of the bog to come and fight for her. Knight Mare tried to muster up enough energy to repeat the spell but she was still tired from the teleportation that she had done earlier and it was taking all her might to keep the dragon rooted in place.
Her clone laughed and taunted, "What's wrong? Tired?"
Bruno was terrified, "We'll never be able to take on all of them."
There was a voice behind them, "Sure ya'll will. 'Cause we're 'ere ta help ya'll!"
They turned to see Applejack, Twilight, Pinkiepie, Rarity, Hugo, Octavia and Viñyl with something covered by a cloak as they ran toward them.
When they caught up, Twilight used her magic to release them from their bonds and Knight Mare asked, "How did you guys know we were here?"
Twilight pointed to Hugo and said, "We found him talking to Viñyl and asked him what was going on. He told us that Rainbowdash and Fluttershy were in trouble so we came here as soon as we could."
Knight Mare then turned to Viñyl who was still holding on to a massive object that was still covered by a cloak and asked, "What's that?"
Viñyl smiled and said, "This here is my baby, my secret weapon."
Octavia was a bit more serious, "But it only has one shot, who do we hit with it?"
Knight Mare said, "You'll probably want to bring it to Dragonshy, he's going to have trouble taking on Captain Fear and his pet."
Pinkiepie asked, "Oh! What is his pet?! Is it an alligator with no teeth? Cause I know how to handle those!"
Knight Mare shook her head and said, "No it's a hydra. Viñyl and Octavia, you two go find Dragonshy, he was thrown that way. The rest of us will have to make a stand."
Viñyl and Octavia started to run through the bog. Dragonshy's clone had finally busted free and tried to block their path.
Knight Mare saw this and yelled, "Renegades, hold him back."
Renegade and his clone knew what she wanted them to do. They used their Changeling powers to grow as big as they could (which was only half as big as Dragonshy's clone) and rammed into the dragon, head first. This devastating charge caused the dragon to stumble backwards and allowed Renegade and his clone to keep their attack going. Dragonshy's clone tried to breathe fire on them but they had thick skin and didn't feel the intense heat of the flames.
Knight Mare and Twilight began firing at Knight Mare's clone. The clone busied itself with blocking their shots. She knew that she could trust her golems to take care of them. The golem spell was designed to make a new golem every time one was taken out, so they would never be able to defeat them unless they defeated her. A group of the golems went to jump on Twilight and Knight Mare but were met with a blast from Pinkiepie's party cannon. Shots of confetti went everywhere and a golem dropped with each one. There were too many and Pinkiepie could not hit all of them so Applejack ran as fast as she could bucked like their was no tomorrow. Still not enough, the stallions did their part as well. The three of them fell onto their foes and ripped them to shreds. Rarity was surprisingly good at controlling the vines that were around and used them tie up the golems. Terror Tooth was doing his best to keep his clone occupied. He knew that his cone would waste no time in going for the magic users and make a scene of ripping them apart. Terror Tooth began the stalemate of constantly bashing away at each other. Spike had been knocked unconscious as the battle started and lay at Twilight's feet.
At times, there were shot breaks when Terror Tooth had time to view the battle before he had to block again. He quickly assessed the situation and came up with a plan as he protected himself against his clone. He noticed that every time one of the golems was destroyed, another one came up form the bog. He figured that this must be the trigger for the spell. He also noticed that the golems that had been rendered immobile by Rarity were not being destroyed which did not cause new ones to be made.
He tried to get close to relate the plan to Knight Mare but the clone was not letting him do that a second time. He had forgotten that the clone was just as smart as he was and knew that he was trying to tell Knight Mare how to defeat them. So his clone was not letting him get any where near Knight Mare. Terror Tooth desperately looked around for some way of getting the upper hoof over his clone.
Then he saw Pinkiepie as she expertly used her party cannon and yelled, "Pinkie! A little help?!"
Without any hesitation, Pinkiepie whirled her cannon around and took three rapid shots. Terror Tooth spun around his clone to disorient him which made the clone unable to dodge the shots that Pinkiepie had taken. The confetti bomb made contact, knocking his clone into the bog and rendering him useless for the duration of the fight.
Terror Tooth landed next to Pinkiepie and said, "Thanks, we make a great team. Is there any way you can bind the golems rather than destroying them with that thing?"
Pinkiepie nodded vigorously and said, "Sure can! I can also put them in these adorable dresses! Or launch cup cakes into their mouths!"
Terror Tooth began to take off with a smile on his face and said, "Just wrap them up nice and tight. Make sure their totally immobile."
Terror Tooth decided that he should just tell the fighters what to do rather than bothering Knight Mare. He flew through the trees and cut as many vines as he could carry. Then he flew to Applejack and tossed them to her.
When she looked at him, he said, "Wrangle them up!"
She didn't understand why, but she knew what he meant. She quickly tied a bunch of lassos and began to take the golems down.
Terror Tooth glanced at the Renegades and saw that they were actually doing a very good job of taking on Dragonshy's clone. He then flew to the stallions and let out a loud whistle to get their attention.
When they stopped he yelled to them, "Come with me! We're going to take out their Knight Mare while she's distracted by ours and Twilight!"
They nodded and followed Terror Tooth. Knight Mare's clone saw them approaching and let loose a volley of spells at them. Terror Tooth activated his armor, making a shield around him. The stallions did the same. The volley was weak and easily blocked. Twilight took this opportunity to send a stun spell directly at Knight Mare's clone. The spell made contact and stunned her for long enough for the stallions to jump on her. Terror Tooth dove in to deliver the final blow but the clone teleported at last second. She appeared on the head of the Dragonshy clone and whispered in his ear. The Renegades lunged themselves at him again and he just transformed into his Changeling form, causing the Renegades to fall flat on the ground. Dragonshy's clone was carrying Knight Mare's clone and went to pick up Terror Tooth's clone. Then Knight Mare's clone teleported them all away.
The golems stopped coming and Applejack said, "What now?"
Knight Mare yelled, "We have to go help Dragonshy!"
The group sprinted as fast as they could in the direction that Dragonshy had been flung.
Dragonshy had landed face-first in the mud. When he looked up, he was terrified by what he saw. There was Captain Fear and, on either side of him, lay Rainbowdash and Fluttershy with their legs and wings bound. That wasn't the scary part though. The hydra stood behind Captain Fear and a head was above Rainbowdash and Fluttershy, ready to swallow them whole.
Dragonshy yelled, "What's the big idea, Captain Fear?! Why bring them into this?! I'm the one you want! Come fight me!"
Captain Fear laughed and said, "Oh please, Draco. I know you could kill me in a matter of seconds. Oh no. I want to terrorize you in a way that will lead to you despising yourself for the rest of your life."
Dragonshy was beginning to shake with fear and anger, "Just how do plan to do that?"
captain Fear smiled and said, "It's simple. I give the command for my hydra to devour your precious ponies. At that instant, I will fly away. You will have a choice. I know that you're fast enough to get here before my hydra enjoys his meal but you'll only be able to save one of them or catch up with me. What will it be Draco? Revenge on me? Ms. Rainbowdash? Or Ms. Fluttershy? No matter what you pick, you will be tormented forever by your choice."
Dragonshy wanted to charge in and save them both, but he knew that Captain Fear was right. He would only be fast enough to save one of them.
Rainbowdash saw Dragonshy having trouble and yelled, with tears in her eyes, "Dragon, save Fluttershy! I'll be fine! I'll get away myself!"
Fluttershy gasped at this statement and yelled, "No, save Rainbowdash. I don't mind, really."
Captain Fear smiled as he saw the sweat dripping from Dragonshy, "What's it going to be, Draco?"
Dragonshy closed his eyes and yelled, "I need power! Please, Give me power! Give me your love!"
Captain Fear was puzzled by this and said, "Excuse me?"
With her eyes full of tears, Fluttershy yelled louder than she had ever yelled before, "Dragon, you know that I love you!"
As she spoke, her aura came to life and sent a beam of energy at Dragonshy. Dragonshy began to glow.
Dragonshy yelled again, "Rainbowdash! Please!"
Rainbowdash's face turned completely red, "What?! I mean... well... what she said..."
Dragonshy opened his eyes and looked at Rainbowdash and said, "I need you to say it, Rainbowdash."
Rainbowdash continued to blush furiously.
She shut her eyes tightly and yelled, "I love you, Dragonshy!"
Her aura came to life as well and also sent a beam of energy at Dragonshy. Dragonshy glowed even brighter and the ground around him began to crack.
Captain Fear did not want to see what happened next. He stomped his hooves on the ground to tell the hydra it was time to eat. The hydra went in for the kill and the two mares screamed.
The was a loud boom and Captain Fear was amazed at what he saw. Dragonshy had gone super-sonic from standing. Captain Fear desperately hoped that Dragonshy would still not be fast enough to save them both. Then something even more amazing happened. Traveling faster than the speed of sound, Dragonshy split into three forms. Captain Fear rubbed his eyes to make sure that he wasn't seeing things but there was no denying it. Dragonshy had split into three different forms of himself in mid air. Captain Fear desperately tried to fly away, but he was nowhere near fast enough to escape. One of the Dragonshies tackled him and had him pinned without a problem. The other two managed to grab the mares and pull them out of the way, just in time to avoid being eaten.
The two Dragonshies put them down and went to join their counterpart over Captain Fear.
Captain Fear stared at them and stammered, "That's... not... possible."
The other two Dragonshies melded with the one that had Captain Fear pinned and he said, "Do you think I care what's possible and what's not when my loves are on the line?"
Captain Fear yelled, "Hydra! Help!"
Before Dragonshy could react, the Hydra knocked him off of Captain Fear and into Rainbowdash and Fluttershy.
Captain Fear brushed himself off and said, "Well, impressive or not, it seems that you are no long full of energy. You won't be able to transform after performing a stunt like that. Which means that all fo that was for nothing. My hydra will eat all of you."
Dragonshy knew that he was right. He had no energy left to transform.
Rainbowdash tapped him on the shoulder and asked, "What's Viñyl doing here?"
They all looked to see Viñyl and Octavia standing a small distance away from them.
Viñyl smiled and unveiled the object, revealing a massive set of speakers, as she said, "Don't worry, Dragon, I've got this."
Captain Fear stared at the speakers and asked, "What is that?"
Viñyl stroked the side of it and said, "This... is my bass cannon... now... feel the wub!"
As she finished, she powered the speakers with a little magic and blasted a massive beam of blue energy which made a bass sound. The beam hit the hydra and sent it flying into the air until it was completely out of sight.
Captain Fear just stared in disbelief that his hydra was defeated so easily. Before Dragonshy could jump on him, he teleported away.
Dragonshy wasn't too worried about the fact that he got away and turned to Rainbowdash and Fluttershy.
He walked up to them and asked, "Are you two ok?"
Fluttershy just nodded and smiled but Rainbowdash jumped and gave Dragonshy a huge hug saying, "Oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh! That was the most amazing thing I have ever seen!"
Fluttershy walked up and blushed as she gave Dragonshy a kiss on the nose and said, "Thank you for saving us."
Dragonshy smiled and said, "I'm just glad that you're both ok. Now, let's go meet up with everypony else."
Renegade's voice was heard, "We're already here!"
They looked to see Viñyl and Octavia joined by everypony else.
Knight Mare said, "We made it out but so did they..."
Dragonshy said, "It's ok, Fear got away too. Let's just head back to Ponyville. I'm done with all this. Let's all just relax."
They all willingly obliged. The group went back to Ponyville.
A few weeks later, Princess Celestia had called for Knight Mare, Terror Tooth, Viñyl, Renegade, and Renegade's clone to join her at her palace. She had been told everything that had happened by a note from Twilight. So they were all in the room with her, Princess Luna, and Princess Cadance.
Princess Celestia said, "Twilight informed me of your quest to get rid of that awful Captain Fear and how you saved the two mares from his clutches. Also, because of you and your information, we were able to defend ourselves against the Changeling attack. All of Canterlot thanks you."
Dragonshy smiled and said, "I was happy to help. But what did you call us in for? Is there something wrong?"
Princess Celestia just gave a warm smile and said, "Oh no, nothing is wrong. I just wanted to inform you that, because Queen Chrysalis is no longer a problem and Princess Cadance has discovered an unlimited source of love in the Crystal Kingdom, I have decided to lift the banishment off the Changeling population and allow them to live normal lives in Equestria as long as they do not abuse their powers."
Dragonshy was shocked but, before he could speak, Princess Celestia had more to say, "Also, I have decided to bestow onto Dragonshy the title of 'Savior of Ponyville'. For the great change that he has brought onto the land of Equestria. Then there is one more thing. All Changelings are encouraged, not required, to change their name to something a little less threatening. Draco, I assume you'd like to have your name change to Dragonshy?" after he nodded she turned to Knight Mare, "And what about you?"
Knight Mare looked to Princess Luna and said, "Actually I was named after you, when you were known as Knightmare Moon. If it's ok with you, I'd like to take on your new name as well."
Princess Luna was visibly pleased by this statement and said, "Well it's about time somepony appreciates the ruler of the night. Unfortunately, I cannot allow a commoner to share my name."
Knight Mare was a bit saddened by this until Princess Celestia made a suggestion, "How about Lunar Knight?"
Knight Mare quickly perked up and nodded her head.
Princess Celestia chuckled and turned to Viñyl, "And you are technically a Changeling. Shall I put you down as Viñyl?"
Viñyl smiled broadly and asked, "I'm actually a Changeling?! Yes! My dad's going to flip out! He totally has a thing for Changelings..."
Everypony was staring at her and she said, "Not like that! He just likes them is all... As for my name, it's actually Vinyl. Everypony just calls my Viñyl because I tried to change it in spite of my parents a long time ago. I'd like to go back to the name that my parents gave me."
Princess Celestia said, "It shall be done. And now for you two..."
Princess Luna said, "We cannot allow a clone to live on, the magic that made you is just too unstable."
Princess Celestia sighed and said, "Unfortunately, she's right. I'm sorry."
Princess Cadance yelled, "Wait! After becoming a princess, I've been studying a lot about what you've done in the past. And there was a clone not too long ago that you allowed to live."
Princess Celestia was puzzled and said, "I'm not sure what you're talking about. Please refresh my memory."
Princess Cadance was trying her best to recall what she read, "I can't remember exactly but I know the real pony's name was Aloe and the clone change its name to Lotus. Oh yeah and then there was that time before that. The real one was Flim and the clone changed its name to Flam."
Princess Celestia suddenly remembered, "That's right, I remember now! And I allowed them clone to stay on the condition that they are watched closely at all times."
Renegade's clone said, "That wouldn't be a problem. I've been spending my days at the forge and some member of the apple family is always within shouting distance."
Princess Celestia smiled and said, "Then I don't see any problem with keeping you around. What would you like your name to be, Renegade?"
Renegade sighed and couldn't help but smile as he said, "A name that I have become accustom to... Renny."
Terror Tooth jumped for joy as Renegade said that, "Ha ha! I knew you'd come around, Renny!"
Princess Celestia turned to him and asked, "What would you like your name to be?"
Terror Tooth thought for a moment but Pinkiepie busted through the doors of the room and said, "I know I know I know! Change your name to sweet! That way you could be my Sweet Tooth!"
She ended her sentence hugging Terror Tooth making him blush as he said, "That's an idea... but I don't think it really suits me..."
Lunar Knight spoke up, "What about Wisdom Tooth?"
Terror Tooth thought for a moment and said, "Sounds good to me."
Princess Celestia said, "Well then, that's it. You are all officially citizens of Equestria. However there is one more order of business."
Dragonshy asked, "What's the problem?"
Princess Celestia grew serious, "Captain Fear got away, which means there is a powerful evil still at large. Plus, there will be a lot more crime now that Changelings are allowed in Equestria. Shining Armor's guards will not be able to keep up. I need a group of ponies that are able to keep the law. I will call this group of ponies my Elite Guard. The Elite Guard will consist of two ponies of each race. I want you all to be part of it since you have the best traits of Unicorns, Earth ponies, Pegusi, and Changelings. There will be two ranks in this Elite Guard. A knight and a squire. The first of the soldiers, should he choose to accept he position, will be Dragonshy and his squire, should she choose to accept it would be Vinyl.
Dragonshy responded, "I accept the position, but why does she have to be my squire?"
Princess Celestia laughed and said, "She seems to share the same powers that you have. You will be able to help her control and use them properly."
Vinyl threw her arm over Dragonshy's shoulders and said, "I accept. Looks like we'll be spending a lot of time together..."
Dragonshy evaporated into a puff of smoke and reformed a short distance away and was serious as he said, "Alright, but no funny business."
Vinyl laughed and said, "We'll see."
Princess Celestia turned to the rest of them and said, "I'd like you three to be the other three squires."
Wisdom Tooth said, "Wait, why are we the squires?"
Princess Celestia said, "I sense that there are ponies out there that are slightly better than you. It will be your job to find them, should you choose to accept the position."
Renny shrugged and said, "Sure, I'm game."
Lunar Knight said, "It would be an honor."
Wisdom Tooth said, "Alright, I'll do it."
Princess Celestia said, "That's great! You three talk to Zecora when you get a chance. She will be able to tell you where to find the knights. That is all. You are all dismissed. Oh and Dragonshy."
Just as Dragonshy was leaving, he turned to see what she wanted, "I'd hurry home if I were you. I've got a feeling Rainbowdash and Fluttershy have some news for you."
Dragonshy immediately turned to Lunar Knight and said, "Quick, send me home."
It did not take much effort to teleport one pony. So she quickly sent Dragonshy to the road that she now memorized.
When Dragonshy got there, Pinkiepie was walking out of her house.
He said, "Pinkiepie where's... wait... weren't you at Canterlot?"
Pinkiepie just nodded.
Dragonshy decided to continue not to question how Pinkiepie did what she did, "Do you know where Fluttershy and Rainbowdash are?"
Pinkiepie nodded and said, "Fluttershy had some really nasty pains a couple of days ago so Rainbowdash took her to the hospital. They've been there since."
Dragonshy took off for the hospital. They'd been living peacefully for the past few weeks but neither Fluttershy nor Rainbowdash had been feeling well lately. Rainbowdash had to drop off the weather patrol temporarily. They were both swelling a lot but Fluttershy did not want to go to the hospital for some reason. When he asked her why she said that she already knew what was wrong but didn't want to hear somepony say it.
Dragonshy finally made it to the hospital and was directed to the room that they were in. He walked in and found both Rainbowdash and Fluttershy laying in beds.
Rainbowdash was reading Daring Do when she noticed Dragonshy walk in. Fluttershy was asleep in the bed next to her.
Rainbowdash tossed the book on top of Fluttershy to wake her up and said, "Oh hey Dragon, I thought you were in Canterlot."
Dragonshy said, "I was but Princess Celestia said that you two had some news for me. What's going on?"
Rainbowdash was at a loss for words, "Well Fluttershy was hurt so I... um... and we..."
Dragonshy turned to Fluttershy and she covered her eyes.
Dragonshy asked, "Ok what's going on? You two have been sick and bloated for the past few weeks, I'm gone for three days, and you two are perfectly fine in hospital beds? I mean what is... Oh sweet Celestia... you were pregnant, weren't you?"
Just as he said this, Nurse Redheart walked in with two bundles on her back, "Alright! Their all cleaned up for you. Oh good, you're here. That means you can help name them."
Dragonshy took a peak at them. One was a gray filly with a cyan mane and the other was a black colt with a red mane. They were both Pegasi. After that one glance, Dragonshy fainted and fell to the ground.
He woke up some time later in a hospital bed. Rainbowdash was on one side, holding the filly. Fluttershy was on the other, holding the colt.
Dragonshy looked at each of them and asked, "This is really happening, huh?"
They nodded and Dragonshy took a deep breathe before talking, "Well then, let's help each other to be the happiest family there is...

Now, before I go, I'd like to ask a favor from my readers. My next story will be completely separate from the main story which means that I will need characters. If you'd like to, send me your oc and I will do my best to incorporate them into the story. Now, not to put any pressure on Pikachu, but the next story will not start until I receive my cover from them. That's all for now, until next time!
