How We Met

A Side Story to Harry Potter: The Seventh Element

"Papa?" Said a tiny unicorn female of Harry's color with Soarin's mane and eyes said to an older Harry one evening. "How did you meet Uncle Feartherweight and Uncle Shady?"

"I've been curious myself on how you met those two." His husband Soarin said as he bounced thier youngest, a baby male alicorn the color of Soarin' with Harry's mane on his back. "You've always been close. And their getting on in years so they might not remember very well."

It was true. He was 128, Soarin was 135 but they didn't look a day older than 30 and 37. Featherweight and Shady Daze where nearing the end of their lives at 130 years old a piece. Featherweight was named as Rainbow Dash's successor in the Wonderbolts and Shady Daze had gone on to be a famous photographer for Pogue magazine. The primier fashion magazine in Equestria. Harry and Soarin where given longevity due to his being a direct descendant of Celestia. Harry had been sad when his mother had passed on from old age, but her funeral was one of the grandest Ponyville had seen since the passing of Stinkin' Rich. Thousands of Ponies came from all over Equestria to pay their respects to the mare who raised their Crown Prince. Harry and Soarin had many children over the years. Harry was one of the most fertile submissive male Alicorns that Equestria had ever seen. Thanks to him (And Soarin's sex drive. The horny bastard) the Alicorn population was increasing once more due to the mixture of genes in the populace. Unfortunately, His "nephew" Prince Blueblood, was still around and still banned from Pony Joe's by the way, much to the ass's dismay, Pony Joe had told his successor to keep the "Banned" poster up and to instruct the next successor to do the same. Blueblood would never be allowed into Pony Joe's again and anypony who bought him doughnuts from his store would be banned for life. Blueblood would be around for around three hundred more years thanks to his longevity but Harry and Soarin would be around for at least three thousand.

"Well baby girl, it all started one morning on the dreaded..."

"Bath Day sugarcube." Applejack said at the breakfast table which made the young alicorn freeze up. Oh how he hated Bath took the opportunity of the frozen foal to grab him and take him outside while he was still squirmin'. "Easy partner. Are we gonna do this the easy way, or am I gonna have to get a cat tail switch?"

Harry froze again. Anything he hated more than Bath Day was those danged Cat Tail switches. Those things hurt!

Applejack dumped Harry uncerimoniously into the tub and grabbed a brush while Granny Smith brought out Applebloom and Big Macintosh came out to do his morning chores.

"NO BATH!" Harry shouted as he jumped up with suds all over his body. He ran down the path to the gates. "NO BATH!"

"He's already at the gates!" Applejack said in dismay as he made his way past the gates into Ponyville. "He's gone!"

Granny Smith and Applebloom giggled like little girls. "He reminds me of Big Macintosh when he was that age. It took your daddy AND yer Uncle Chocolate to hold him down to get his bath."

Applejack looked up and saw what she was hoping to see "Yo Rainbow Dash!" She whistled for her friend to notice her. Luckily the mare did as she was moving some rainclouds over to Ponyville. She flew down to level with Applejack.

"What's up AJ? Need something? A rain cloud for your crops maybe? Its been a while since you guys got some rain."

"Maybe later. Its Bath Day and Harry just took off with suds all over his body into Ponyville!"

She fell on her back in the air and laughed. "That's priceless! So what do you want me to do?"

"I need ya to get him back here for his bath! Why else would I call ya down here while yer workin'?"

"No prob AJ, I'll have him back in Ten second's flat!" The eager pegasi declared before taking off into Ponyville at top speed.

Applejack sighed. "He only got into Ponyville a few moments ago. How far could he have gone?"

Ponyville...

"NO BATH!" Ponies of all kinds where staring at the colt as he ran through the town with suds all over his body. This colt was the talk of the town lately as someone had seen him at Sweet Apple Acres being treated like he was family. But he was a unicorn. "NO BATH!"

At the playground two pony colts had dug a small ditch in the sand area with a bucket and where rolling a ball to each other. These two colts where a pegasi named Featherweight, named cause he was so small when he was born, and Shady Daze. An earth pony. They heard somepony shout "NO BATH!" And looked to see a younger unicorn colt come running to the sand area.

"Hi." Said Shady Daze shyly.

"No bath!" Harry whined. "No bath!" He looked around suspiciously "Followed!"

The two colts nodded in understanding. All colts hated bath day. "Bucket!" Featherweight said pointing to a rather big bucket that was big enough to hide a small foal. And Harry was pretty small. They looked over at Harry who nodded eagerly. Harry got into the ditch with them and they put the bucket over the sudsy colt after dumping all the sand out of it. They then started playing catch to avoid suspicion of a Rainbow maned pegasi who came trotting up to them.

Hmm...Rainbow Dash thought. A trail of suds leading up to the sandbox...Do they really think I'm stupid?"

"Have youi two colts seen a foal a little smaller than you, covered in suds and shouting "No Bath?" She asked the two who stopped playing catch with the rubber ball.

Both nodded.

"Great! Where is he?"

Both colts pointed to the left.

"Then why is the trail leading right to that bucket?"

"Jig up!" Harry said in a slightly babyish voice. Standing up while still in the bucket. "Run!" All three colts jumped out of the ditch and ran. Unfortunately Harry ran right into the slide and fell down making the bucket fall right on top of him.

"Noes!" Featherweight said as Rainbow Dash laughed while picking up the bucket by the handle and taking off into the air. Harry poked his head out of the tub and sadly waved to his new friends as he was flown away. His mommy told him never to show his wings in town. Or he'd get taken away. So even though he was starting to learn how to fly, he didn't wanna get taken away from his family...His new friends waved sadly back at him as the Rainbow maned pegasi took him away...

"Ready to go squirt? Hey, where's your bucket?" Lucky Clover asked Shady Daze who was still waving at his new friend. "Huh?" He saw a young colt with suds on his head being taken away by air and understood what had happened.

"New friend!" Shady said excitedly to his older brother.

"New friend!" Featherweight said eagerly to his older brother Namby Pamby.

Sweet Apple Acres...

"Got to the playground faster than I thought." Rainbow Dash said to Applejack. "I'll be back with that rain storm this afternoon A.J. Gotta get back to work. The lake needs some water today cause ducks are planning on playing in the water."

"Thank's Dash!" Applejack called while Harry hid in the bucket. "Now you listen here." She looked inside the bucket and saw the little alicorn trying to be smaller. "Yer gonna get yer bath understood? Then yer uncle Macintosh is gonna take you in the barn and give ya ten switches with a Cat Tail for causin' all this trouble."

"Eeyup." Big Macintosh nodded in agreement as he came over with Caramel. The young adult standing on the opposite side that Macintosh stood over at the tub. Caramel had come over to help his cousin with the apple buckin' while Appllejack gave Applebloom and Granny Smith their baths. Granny Smith may be her grandmother, but she couldn't exactly bathe herslf without some assisstance anymore. So she took her baths on the little one's bath day.

Applejack picked Harry up by the scruff of his mane and held him over the tub before dropping him in. Big Macintosh and Caramel closed in so he couldn't escape again while Ganny Smith and Applejack grabbed brushes. Harry whined as they approached him from north and south and closed his eyes as he dreaded cleaning tools descended onto his fur...

"And that's how I met Featherweight and Shady Daze. I played in the park with them alot till we started school. Then we where like your great auntie Applebloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo." The godmothers of three of his girls and four of his boys including the little one on Soarin right now. They where getting on in years themselves...The only one of the mane six left was Twilight. And she now ran the Canterlot library after moving away from Ponyville to move on from the deaths of her friends. There where now statues of all seven of the Elements of Harmony when they where young in the town square. Shining Armor, the godfather of his unborn child, was still looking like as young and youthful as he did when he and Candence got married. It was breaking his heart seeing his LSBFF aging like she was. But he didn't let that stop him from seeing her.

His children where now giggling. They enjoyed hearing stories about his foalhood.

"Didn't that switch hurt?" Asked the third youngest. A young pegasi boy who took after his father in looks, but had Harry's eyes.

"Nah. Your great uncle Macintosh was a bit of a softy when it came to me. Me being the first nephew he had an all, but when he was really mad at me, he really let me have it." Harry said remembering a time he lied about something that lead to something worse. His behind still stung from time to time remembering that whipping.

Soarin whispered something into Harry's ear that made Harry blush in front of his children. "Pevert." Harry hissed quietly while Soarin laughed and rubbed his mate's pregnant belly. Yes they had another little one in the oven. Harry's fertile time for bearing young was nearly over for the year.

"Bedtime don't you think hun?" Soarin asked his mate.

"Aww. But i brought cheesy corn." Harry said holding out a large family size bag of his favorite cheese flavored popcorn snack. His cravings made him put it in their cart at the grocer earlier that night.

His foals all cheered. At least the ones who could cheer.

"Fine. I'll put the baby to bed and you two pick out a movie to watch with me and papa ok?" Soarin ruffled his foals manes. He bounced the baby who giggled all the way upstairs while their children raided the movie cabinet.

"Black Dream! Black Dream!" The two said eagerly.

Ah. I remebmer this. Harry said as he saw the pied piper like Poupelin on the back. I wonder how Peruru is doing lately. I hope I see him soon. This particular movie was based on an adventure he had with his mother and the other Elements of Harmony. A director pony got hold of the story and asked their permission to make it into a childrens movie.

As Soarin came back down stairs, he saw a movie starting to play and his mate and foals enjoying their bedtime snack. He smiled. Life was perfect.

To Be Continued...

And so that's how Harry met Featherweight and Shady Daze. And I hope those of you who read the future of Equestria enjoyed it. Working on Apple Family Reunion next. And the next chapter of Emerald Lightning should be up shortly.

Soarin and Harry have a grand total of thirty children including the three seen here in the chapter. Those are full grown and have their own families now. Ten Pegasi, Twelve Unicorns, and 5 Alicorns. Harry and Soarin love each and every one of them.

Yes I will be planning a side story based on the Sailor Moon Super S movie. I saw it on youtube after about ten years from losing the video tape! I love the 3 o'clock fairy flute music!
