Hello again! Sorry for the wait. It's very difficult to write a fanfic during the week days when you're 16, a honors student, an athlete, an explorer, and you have family at home while you use a computer that's not entirely yours, so I have my excuses. If I'm able, I might as well write the next chapter tomorrow, but you'll have to answer the question after this chapter in order for that to happen. In the meantime... enjoy!

It's been at least two years since Goku found Rainbow Dash in that cardboard box, and everything is running smoothly with the son family. Goku hasn't shown Rainbow Dash to his friends yet. He wants to keep it a secret and give them a wonderful surprise when she grows up. Rainbow Dash also found a new thing to watch on TV. She fell in love with the stunts that a jet team was doing. Goku later found out that this team is called the Buccaneer Blazers, the greatest air force team in the world. This gives Goku another reason to think that Rainbow Dash would desperately want to fly when she gets older.

Rainbow got her own bed not too long ago, and they decided to put it in their bedroom. The couple wanted to watch over her so that she doesn't just wonder off outside and get caught by animal patrol or the government. Chichi warned Goku on why Rainbow Dash, as a pegasus, would be interesting to the government. They would experiment on her. They could run tests; lock her inside a small cage, or even worse. They might as well dissect her. When Goku learned what dissection is, he rushed the filly's bed to their bedroom like there was going to be no tomorrow.

Something was up, however. They thought the filly would run off because they assumed that the filly was a pet. They thought she was like a dog, or a cat, in which she wasn't intelligent, but there were certain signs that begged to differ. She was able to pick up a crayon with her mouth and start to draw on a piece of paper that was lying on the floor. When she showed Goku this, he was amused and surprised. Even though it was a bunch of scribbled lines with different colors, like how a little human baby's drawing would look like, the little filly at least did it. She also started to point to things she wanted with her hoof and opening doors. She even giggles or cries like a baby would, which caught the couple by surprise.

Today, they put her intelligence to the test. Rainbow Dash is sitting on the floor in the middle of the living room. In front of her, she sees a big, plastic box with three openings on the top. One is in the shape of a triangle, another is in the shape of a square, and the last one is in the shape of a circle. There are plastic blocks that scatter the floor, and they appear to reflect the shapes of the holes on the top of the container.

Goku and Chichi watch her impatiently from behind as they wait for her to do something. Rainbow looks at the blocks in curiosity. She glances up at the top of the container and then back at the blocks. When she thinks about what she has to do, she picks up a circular piece with her teeth. She sets it on top of the hole that's shaped like a triangle. When nothing happens, she moves the block to the hole that's shaped like a square. When nothing happens again, she frowns from annoyance, but then she moves the piece over the last hole. When the piece falls into the container, she flinches backwards in surprise, but then she grins and picks up another piece.

After a short period of time, Rainbow gets it down and starts to put all of the triangular, square, and circular pieces in there respected holes. When the last piece falls into the bucket, she looks backwards to her company in order to find out what to do next. Chichi looks at her in shock and amazement while Goku smiles. She succeeded the test. When Goku reaches arms length to Rainbow, he scruffs her mane and says, "That's my girl." Rainbow closes her eyes and smiles in approval. She knows that every time her dad scruffs her mane, it's a good thing.

When it's time for bed later that night, Rainbow Dash sleeps with the couple in their bed. This is a rare occurrence, but this is an award for succeeding in her test. Rainbow likes these rare moments. She likes being around her guardians for as much as possible sometimes.

Goku lies on his side of the bed with Rainbow cuddling with him. He looks over to his wife, who's sleeping soundly with her body facing the other direction of the bed. When glancing down towards the filly right next to him, he finds that she's staring up at him with shining eyes that he saw when he found her in that box. Goku smiles and kisses her on the forehead. "Good Night Rainbow," Goku says before facing upwards toward the ceiling. Goku starts to run through his thoughts while staring at the ceiling.

"So Rainbow Dash is smart. Should she still be considered a pet? I don't think so. That wouldn't be nice, but what would I call her? Would she be my partner? Maybe she could be a best friend, or even a…daughter." Goku shakes his head, "No, that wouldn't be a good idea. Maybe she has parents of her own. Then again, I don't really know mine… Let's change the subject. So she is a smart pony. Maybe she could go to school like what Chichi wanted for our future son/daughter, but she probably won't be accepted by anyone. I wonder if we could teach her. Wait, how do we have a son/daughter again? I don't know, but I might as well find out." Goku then realizes to himself, "I wonder if she could-"

"Dada."

Goku's pupils shrink in shock and he turns to the filly again before finishing his thought, "-talk."

"Dada!" Rainbow Dash says again, smiling, before she hugs him and closes her eyes. Goku's heart stops again. He stares at her for several moments before he finally responds. Smiling at her, he hugs her as she drifts off to sleep. Many thoughts and questions rise inside his head, but the thought that he keeps in mind before falling asleep is, "I am her dad."

Now for that question I mentioned earlier. Something very dramatic happens in the next part of her childhood, but there are two different ways of finding out. This moment can either take up the next chapter or it can be mentioned much later in the story(a.k.a. Chapter 18 of the FRIEZA saga). If you chose the second idea, the Childhood saga can go by quicker, but if you chose the former, you can make more connections about what would happen later in the story much faster. Which way should I do this? Please answer by using the review post below. I'll check tomorrow, so do it fast!
