(Equestria)

Inside a hidden chamber sparks of lightning flashed all over before a white orb appeared and then exploded as the band of ponies appeared from the flash and the two princesses fell to their knees panting.

"Wooohooo! What a ride!" Jayde yelled with a big smile on her face before she looked at the two goddesses.

"Oh are you two ok?" She asked trotting up to them checking up on them for injuries.

"Just tired Jayde is all." Celestia said getting a smile from the unicorn.

"Oh dude no problem I can help you out." She said as her horn turned orange and what looked like fire surrounded the two who yelped.

"Calm down and relax it's not going to hurt you, you should start to feel better in a minute." Jayde said as the two bouncing and rolling goddesses obeyed her and could feel their magic well coming back faster and could feel the exhaustion disappear.

The ponies in the room room watched the healing flames dance over the princesses healing them as they got up and Jayde let her magic fade.

"What was that Jayde? That was not any magic I have ever seen." Luna said getting a smile from her.

"That's a secret. So who's hungrey cause Im starving." She said pushing open the heavy wooden doors as all their stomachs growled making them giggle and follow the purple mare outside.

"Hey you soldier guy! Where's the kitchen at?" She asked but he just stood there and stared out into space.

"Helllloooooo? Moon to base, come in base." She said tapping him on the forehead hearing the stallion beside the door snort making her look at him.

"YOU! You breathed! Where's the kitchen seriously Im starving!" She said but he composed him and became a statue.

"UUUGGGHHHHH! It's no wonder mares on this world like each other more than stallions if this is all you ever do!" She sighed hearing laughter from the other mares.

"Don't bother Jayde I tried the same thing when the princess visited one time, didn't get anything out of them." Rainbow stated and waved her over.

"Come on Jayde lets go eat. I'm sure your brother is around here somewhere." Celestia stated as the mare sighed.

"Right I have a blood brother, this is gonna be weird." She said following the pack around twists and turns making her feel a since of deju vu. After a while the group came into a massive dinning hall that could easily seat all of her home sector and still have room for more.

"Jayde you coming?" She heard Celestia ask making snap out of her shock.

"Wow you royals really do know how live." She said looking around smiling as a few chefs and waitresses came and and took their order, Jayde was a little upset they didnt have any tofu burgers or hotdogs but settled for a large salad with ranch dressing.

"What's a tofu burger?" Luna asked as Jayde smiled.

"Its like a regular hamburger but no animal parts in it. Same thing with the hotdog, don't get me wrong they are both awesome but I just can't eat real meat." She stated getting shocked looks from them.

"What? It was my dad's burger and I had already finished mine but was really hungrey after a day in the labs so I took a big bite of his burger and instantly got sick after I swollowed it." She said.

"Worst week of my life." She stated getting nods from the others when their meals came out.

After they ate and the plates were taken away Celestia had a guard summon for Shining Armor while Jayde laughed.

"My brothers name is Shining Armor? HA! What is he like really good at cleaning armor or something?" She asked as a large hoof landed on her shoulder making her react jumping up and twisting the hoof around as her hind legs wrapped around whoever dared touch her neck as she pulled back.

"TWILIGHT STOP THAT'S SHINING ARMOR!" Celestia yelled making her come back to reality and let go of the whimpering stallion and jump off him.

"OH I'M SO SO SORRY! WHEN YOU GRABBED ME LIKE THAT I JUST REACTED OH MAN IM SO SORRY DUDE!" She paniced checking him over.

"Hold on I can fix you in just a sec stay still." She said and once again she summoned the healing flames around him letting it work its magic as she heard him sigh.

"Are you ok? I'm soooo sorry about that, I just have a issue with people surprising me is all. Are you ok?" She asked feeling really bad helping the stallion up who rolled his shoulder.

"Yeah I'm good that was a really good move, what was that?" He asked as she beamed.

"My drill instructor taught it to us when I was in basic training, comes in really handy." She said getting a good look at the stallion.

"So your Shining Armor? Huh I expected you a little bigger or something." She said while he looked at her stunned.

"Twilly you look so different." He said walking around the mare.

"You cut your mane and tail to, and your pretty fit to." He said still looking her over.

"Well the military didn't like long manes or tails and the marines kinda make you fit and tone." She said slipping off her gear showing a small but deep scar on her left shoulder.

"Whoa Jayde where did you get that scar?" Dash asked making the mare look down at it.

"Oh it's just a flesh wound from a las-rifle. Tagged me pretty good but I'm good, I think it looks cool. Scars especially battle scars are sexy to me." She said wiggling her eyebrows.

"You should ask my husband, he's got a few from some battles during deployments, rrrooowwww." She said giggling as Dash blushed along with the other girls.

"HUSBAND!? SMACK!"

"OH IM SORRY!"

"I think you knocked him out that time Jayde." Pinkie said as Jayde was busy apologizing and trying to wake her brother up while Rainbow was trying to learn how to breath from laughing so hard.

(10 min later)

"Dang Jayde how hard did you hit the poor feller?"

"I said I was sorry!"

"HAHAHAHAH (BRRRREEEAAAAATTTHHHH!) HAHAHAHAHAH!"

"IT'S NOT FUNNY RAINBOW!"

"HEHEHEHEHE!"

"Well actually it is, um if thats ok?"

"FLUTTERSHY!"

"SQUEE!"

"I would think the captain of the guard should be able to take a hit?"

"Luna! That's not very nice!"

"I'M SORRY!"

"Well he should!"

"OH OH he's coming to!"

Shining Armor opened his eyes and to see 8 mares looking down at him as he groaned and slowly sat up holding his head.

"Did anypony get the number to that stage couch?" He groaned.

"I'm really sorry! But when you yelled you really scared me and I just kinda reacted. Are you ok?" Jayde asked as he looked up at her.

"Twilly I don't know who taught you that but I want to employ him for the guard." He smiled getting a sigh from the others before his eyes when wide.

"Wait did you say you were married!?" He shouted and then groaned holding his head.

"Yeeesssssss. I'm married and have two kids." She said as Shining shot a look at her.

"WHAT!?"

"Dude seriously calm down even my dad... Wait nevermind his reaction was worse but seriously chill out man damn, I've been married for 6 years now I think I don't need your permission there guy." Jayde said with narrowed eyes while he looked at her confused.

"Wait what? Twi you've only been gone for a year, what are you talking about?" He asked as Jayde sighed.

"My name is Jayde not Twilight first of all oh brother of mine, and second talk to Celestia about that thing, I on the other hand while you do that am going to explore." She said putting her gear back on and looked at Dash.

"Yo Rain you wanted to fly together right?" She asked getting a confused look from Dash.

"Um yeah that would be awesome but how?" She asked making Jayde get a big smile.

"Never give a girl a big funding pool and unlimited resources." She said taking out the square and headed outside with the others following her.

Once outside and she found a large area to set the square down she stomped her hoof and the square started to transform into her Super Sport making the others gape.

"My own design actually. Pretty cool huh? Made a fortune off these to the point my great-great-great grandkids are going to be set for life." She smiled as the door opened up for her and the top slid into the back.

"So Rain you want to ride with me?" She asked looking back to see the pegasus gone till she heard the horn honk.

"Come on Jayde! Time's wastin!" Rainbow called from the passenger seat.

"Well if you need me I'm going to check out where Spike is and stuff. Later!" She said jumping into the driver seat and shot off into the sky hearing Rainbow scream.

"Come captain we have much to discuss about you sister." Celestia stated walking back into the castle as Luna yawned looking at the other ponies.

"Why dont you ponies head home, I'm sure your family wants to know you are home and safe." She said heading inside.

"Yes we all best be on our way, Im sure that all of our family is wandering about us." Rarity stated getting nods from the others.

"Oh I hope angel has been good for Ditzy and helped her feed the animals." Fluttershy said picking up her pace to the train station.

(Ponyville)

Jayde and Rainbow hovered above the small town for a bit smiling at each other.

"Do you think we should?"

"Naturally."

"Mare after my own heart." Jayde said smiling at the blush on Dash's face as she flipped her car over and came in at a steep angle before leveling out along with road, once they got within three feet above the ground Jayde pushed a red button and fell through the seat and began to trott with Rainbow towards the library as the car transformed back into a cube and fell into Jayde's pouch.

"Awesome entrance and now we just keep moving like nothing happened." Dash said pulling some shades over her eyes while she watched as some shades formed on Jaydes face.

"Swag." Was all Jayde needed to say as the two came to the library.

"3.2.1."

"RAINBOW DASH!?" The two mares looked over to see Scootaloo and the other crusaders running up to them.

"What's up squirt?" Rainbow said smiling at the filly pegasus.

"When did yall get back Ms. Dash?" Applebloom asked.

"Um who's your friend?" Sweetie Belle asked looking at Jayde who kept looking at the library.

"Hey Rain Im gonna go see if Spike is in there." Jayde stated taking the shades off and put them in her bag after they folded up.

"No prob Jayde, I'll be there in a bit." She said watching the mare walk to the library letting her eyes travel south.

"Quit looking at my butt Rain, actually you can keep looking but don't touch." Jayde said smiling back at her who was licking her lips.

"Rainbow? Who is that mare?" Dash looked down and smiled looking back at the library.

"Hold on wait for it." She said.

"TWILIGHT!"

(Inside the library)

Jayde smiled and held onto the baby dragon like her long lost child had come back, she had tears in her eyes and could feel Spikes tears soaking her chest.

"Twilight you're finally back!" Spike yelled squeezing the mare who was running her hoof along his spines.

"Yeah but I dont go by Twilight anymore Spike, I go by Jayde." She said pulling back wiping his tears.

"Jayde? Why?" He asked as she started to tell him about her home while Rainbow and the crusaders walked in.

"Wow that's one crazy tale Jayde but I believe you, crazier things have happened." He said getting a nod from the other mare and fillies.

"I figured as much, but I got to ask Spike do you want to come back with me?" She asked as he thought for a few minutes.

"Sure. Nothing is really here for me besides Rarity but even then I'm starting to think that she's not into dragons." He said saddly.

"How'd you figure that?" Jayde asked.

"Well after you disappeared I had a lot of time to just think and well I thought about our relationship and it's really just more of friends anyway so no harm really." He said shrugging getting a smile from his adopted mother.

"SO I have two younger siblings now and I guess you can say a father figure?" He asked getting a nod from Jayde.

"Yep, I think you two will get along just fine." She said hugging the dragon again.

"It's good to see you again Spike." She said.

"You know Twilight we still need to go to your mom and dad's place." He said getting a sigh from the mare.

"I know, it's a little weird having so many parents." She said.

"Well no time like the present might as well go see them now! Come on Spike I'm gonna show you what momma has been making since I've been gone, well one of the things I made." She stated pulling out the cube.

"Congrats on your cube." He deadpanned.

"Shutup stupid and walk outside." She said and threw it on the ground where it transformed.

"Jayde that is never gonna get old." Dash said as they heard a train pulling up.

"AWESOME!" Three guesses.

"That is SO COOL!" Spike yelled as the door opened.

"Hop in sport, we're gonna go for a ride." She said and walked up to Dash pulling her into a deep kiss before pulling back with a pop.

"And I expect you at my place tonight around 7 for a date." Jayde said leaving three gapping fillies and weak kneed pegasus.

"I think I like this version Twilight better." Dash said with a dumb look on her face as she took flight faltering ever once in a while towards the station to meet with her friends.

(Canterlot)

Jayde landed the car outside the house Spike pointed to and got out as the car folded up and into her pocket.

"So what do you think I can expect from-TWILIGHT!- them?" Jayde was pulled into a bone crushing hug by three ponies, two unicorns and a pink alicorn.

"Oh I missed you so much honey." She heard her mother say and could hear her father crying while the pink pony was looking her over.

"Wow Twilight you look hot." She said.

"Um thanks? I guess." She said feeling her back pop making her let out a sigh.

"Oh yeah that felt good." She said slumping down a little and stumbling as they let go of her.

"Where have you been sweetie!?" Her mom asked leading them into the house and once again explained everthing that's happened.

After about 3 hours of talking and answering questions and showing photos of the babies making the mares giggle while her dad was grumbling about some alien getting his daughter pregnant TWICE! Jayde looked out to see the sun was setting making her grin.

"Well I better go I have a date soon so I gotta fly. Later guys!" She yelled back running outside getting out her car and heading home.

(Ponyville)

Jayde had just put Spike to bed and prepared her and her dates dinner when she heard the door open and in walked a well groomed Rainbow Dash making Jayde's mouth drop open. She could tell she went the extra mile and had her mane in a bun and could smell a hint of mint perfume coming from her.

" Jayde." Rainbow said but Jayde never said anything making Dash smirk and fly up to her.

"Like what you see Jayde?" Dash asked smiling wide when she gave a dumb nod before shaking her head.

"Rain you come in here like that again and I might just have to have Spike sleep over at a friends house." Jayde smiled giving Rainbow a quick peck on the chin.

"Now I have prepared a feast for two so come my dear lets eat." Jayde said taking a seat and waited for Dash to have some of the spiced salad.

"Dang Jayde this is reall good, a lot better than the other times you cooked." She said as her eyes widened.

"Hey the last time you had my cooking was um that one time I tried to make us some sandwitches around the snowy season and was so nervous that I blew up half the kitchen." She said smiling as Dash laughed.

"Yeah exactly I- wait you were nervous then?" She asked as Jayde sighed.

"From what I'm getting from my memories Rain, Twilight had a crush on you since the Best Young Flyers Comp." She said as Rainbow's mouth dropped open.

"But,but why didnt you say anything!?" Dash asked.

"My guess is I was terrified that if she made a move on you then it would tear apart the we had. Come on Rain if I Twilight Sparkle the egghead would have came up to you and told you I wanted you to be my fillyfriend would you have? Or would you had thought it was a joke?" Jayde said as Dash looked down.

"I probably would have thought she was joking and laughted in her face, OH MAN that really would have messed everything up!" She said feeling more depressed.

"Maybe but I think that she would have just buried it down deep and never spoke of it again and it would probably be really awkward around you two for a long time but she would move on. I think so anyway." Jayde said picking up Dashes head to make her look at her.

"But I'm not Twilight Rain, I'm Jayde a mother, wife, soldier, racer, and I hope someones fillyfriend." She said smiling making Dash sigh and smile.

"Your right, I'm sorry for ruining dinner." She said.

"Hey you didn't ruin it! Besides I do remember that I have a special book that I had on hold for you for your birthday last year but since I wasn't here I didn't get to give it to you obviously." She said making mare grin.

"REALLY!?"

"Yeah finish your-OMNOMNOMNOM- food. Um right well come with me." She said leading her to the basement and flicked on the light.

"Now Twilight was saving this for you if you ever got together with her BUT I think you waited long enough." She said and pulled a fake candle and a wall opened up along with as lights came on showing a book shelf inside.

"Happy late birthday Rain, every Daring Doo book thats ever been released and even a few that havent been yet." Jayde said watching the shocked mare.

"But, you, how, I dont even, um what?"

"Use your words Rain they get you a lot farther in life." Jayde chuckled.

"How did you get these and they're all signed! How did she do it?" Rainbow asked as Jayde smiled.

"Actually she ment for this to be a wedding present to tell you the truth and if you look at the signature you can recognize it." She said smiling as tears came the mares face.

"It was her all along it was her, she's the author of the story." Rainbow said sniffing as Jayde pulled her into a hug as the mare clutched the book to her chest sitting down on her hunches and started to cry.

"HOW COULD I NOT HAVE SEEN IT! IM SO STUPID!" She cried looking down at the book.

"Hey Rain look at me." She said lifting the mares face up and smiled.

"If your Twilight was here now what do you think she would say?" She asked as Rainbow snorted and laughed.

"To stop crying on the book she wrote for me or I would ruin it."She laughed getting a giggle out of Jayde.

"Yeah most likely. I think your Twilight would take this book away gently make you look at her and..." She pulled Rainbow into a soft loving kiss trying to take all the pain away from her friend before she pulled back in the need for air.

The two mares stared at each other panting before they smiled.

"I think she would to, softy." Dash said pecking her lips and grabbing the book.

"Hey is it cool if I stay here and read tonight?" She asked getting a nod from Jayde.

"No prob Rain but I got one last thing I want to do with you before you hit the books." She said making Rainbow blush.

"Um I don't mind the kissing, I mean I REALLY don't mind the kissing but uh I think this is a really big step don't you think?" She said nervously while Jayde laughted.

"Not that you perv, come on and I'll show you." She said heading back upstairs and pulled the secret switch closing the fake wall as Dash looked back at it and smiled before following Jayde outside and towards the park hill where they usually play with their pets and where they watched the awsome meteor shower.

" So Jay what are we doing here?" Rainbow asked getting a smile from the unicorn.

"I just got a idea, how would you like to watch Daring Doo instead of read it?" She asked as Rainbow's eyes widened.

"Really you can do that?!" She asked getting a nod as her horn started to glow.

"Rainbow when I start this spell don't bother me ok?" She said getting a nod from Dash just as a flash went off and she was suddenly in a jungle just when Daring Doo jumped out of the bush with giant spiders chasing her.

Two hours later Daring had just excaped being impaled and burned alive after defeating the main villan and got the artifact only to be stopped by another, a stallion before he vanished into the brush and Daring had to make a quick get away from the villans henchman when the words to be continued came up.

"AAAAAWWWWWWW! IT WAS JUST GETTING GOOD!" Dash said as everything went back to normal and saw Jayde smiling at her not even breaking a sweat.

"Glad you liked but I need to get back to Spike and you have morning duty to do tomorrow Rain." She said looking back at the library when she felt her face grabbed and pulled into a searing kiss making her eyes go wide and knees weak before the mare pulled back and smiled.

"Thanks Jayde you went above and beyond for me today and I would be happy to be your filly friend, but I expect a show at the end of every night time date." She said kissing the mare again before taking flight.

"Thanks Jay!" She called flying away as Jayde just kept waving with a goofy smile on her face before trotting back to the library and took a bath before heading to bed.

(Next day)

Jayde made her way through the market towards sugar cube corner getting curious looks from the other ponies as she walked into the shop to see Pinkie manning the counter.

"Sup Pinks how's it going!?" She called as the pony smiled and hopped the counter.

"HEY JAYDIE!" She said pulling the mare into a bone crushing hug before dropping her with a thud.

"I got to go." She said zipping out of bake shop while Jayde just smiled.

"She reminds me so much of Tricia it's not even funny." She said to herself turning to see a orange skinny stallion walking up to her.

"I'm so sorry miss that was-

"Yeah that's Pinkie I know but I'm used to it though from my friend Tricia." She said walking over to the display.

"Well still how bout a free blueberry bagle?" He asked making her smile.

"Cool thanks ! Tell Mrs. Cake I said hi." She called over her should walking out.

"Hm how does she know our name, she looks familar I just can't put my hoof on it." He said as a few more customers came in.

Jayde walked through town heading towards her past lifes favorite spot so she could watch Rainbow practise and where she could read well back then anyway, now she was going to work on her car.

With that in mind Jayde pulled out the cube and let it unfold before a bunch of screens popped up and she started to look through them as she pulled out a small marble and tossed it over to the side as a full tool box and car jacks. She smiled and tied a red head band around her forehead to keep sweat from her eyes as her horn lit up and could hear the tools moving around before she thrust her hoof at the car and the screens floated over to various areas around the car.

(4 hours later)

Dash had just got done with work and went over to Jayde's place and talked to Spike when Pinkie showed up handing them invitations to a party at AJ's barn. After she left she couldn't find her new fillyfriend anywhere so decided to go practise but when she got to her favorite spot she found a gaggle of ponies there and her mare with the CMC.

She flew down to find that Jayde was working on her car and the crusaders were actually helping, well Applebloom was while Sweetie Belle was reading something on some screens and Scootaloo was handing her tools.

"The screen said that you just increased the max output by 22% Jayde!" Sweetie Belle said.

"Thanks hun, Scoots hand me that wrench over there the one with a bright blue handle." She heard Jayde from under the car.

"You mean this one?" She said as Jayde's magic grabbed it and pulled it under the car.

"Yep this is it thanks Scoots."

"No prob!"

"What's this thing do?"

"That's the turbine computer hook port don't touch, it's custom and costs a pretty penny." She said.

"What's a penny?" She asked.

"A form of money." Jayde answered.

"Hey babe what are you doing?" Dash called out catching the attention of the others.

"Hey Rain just doing some tweeking on the car is all, this baby is one turbo upgrade away from hitting Mach 4! You going to train today or you want to watch me get dirty?" She asked sliding out from under the car with oil and grease in her coat and on her face.

"I got to say the latter is very tempting." Dash stated smiling while Scootaloo gagged.

"So Rain what IS your plan for today?" She asked as the ponies left talking about the strange mare and the cool thing she was working on or how she might be with Ponyville's star pegasus.

"Well I was looking for you but when I couldn't find you I was going to practise, BUUUUTTT since your here what do you want to do?" She asked.

"Well let me put the car together and then you can have my full attention, it's been a long time since I've seen you fly." She said looking down but Dash kissed her on the ear.

" Hey it's cool Jayde from the way I see it you have my Twilight's smart and Jayde's awsome skills and smarts so I get the best of both worlds." Rainbow said smiling as Jayde grinned.

"You just want me for my body." She said as Rainbow gave her a playful shove.

"Shutup and go fix the car." She smiled watching her work and handed her any tools she needed.

"You know I didn't hear you disagree with what I said." Jayde said from under the car.

"That's part of it but your almost as awesome as me, almost." She smiled hearing her laugh.

After about a hour everything was back in place and packed up with the car and toolbox in her vest pocket.

"Ok Rain wow me." She said and was pulled into a powerful and hungrey kiss before Dash pulled back smiling at the goofy look on the unicorns face.

"Not what I had in mind but WOW! Now show me what you can do Rain." She said pushing Rainbow away as she shot into the sky at breakneak speeds as two rainbooms went off at once.

"Well darling I must say that Dash's mood has certainly improved since you came back." Jayde turned around to see Rarity and Applejack walking up her.

"Hey guys what's up?"

"Not much sugarcube we just saw the crowd over here a while ago and wanted to see what was goin on, you know what it was about?" AJ asked.

"Yeah I was working on my car when the crusaders came by and offered to help so I put them to work with Sweetie looking at numbers, Scoots handing me tools and Applebloom was asking questions the whole time." She said shrugging as the two groaned.

"Oh darling I am so sorry about that." She said as Jayde just waved them off.

"No harm done, remember I have two of my own and their growing like weeds I swear." She said as they all smiled and looked back up at Dash who was in the middle of doing a tight loop.

"Um I hope I don't come off as rude dear but how did you have your children?" Rarity asked.

"With a little bit of my magic and nine months later here they were, pretty much as soon as I could have another again we went right for it. But I think me and Nik are good on kids for now unless Rain joins us and wants a kid then meh." She shrugged watching Rainbow spin through a tight group of trees.

" So ah guess when yall go back yer takin Spike with you?" AJ asked getting a nod from Jayde.

"Yeah when I asked him he said he wanted to and last night after my date with Dash I wanted to make sure he wanted to go and he does so I won't stop him." She said smiling as Dash squeezed between two tight trees while dodging a third at the last second.

"Well I will miss Spikey Wikey, it's gonna be very lonely without him there." Rarity said just as Dash landed in front to them panting.

"So what do you think?" She asked Jayde's horn lit and she was engulfed in the healing power.

"Your flip at the end of the last corkscrew was a little sloppy from your dizzyness, I saw you clip your wing on one of the trees and I saw the gash you got under your wing dodging the tree past the tight pair you went through at the end, but all in all I have to say if it was anyone else we would be calling for the medics." She said giving the mare a peck on the nose.

"Now lets go take a shower, we both are dirty and I have oil and grease on me." Jayde said waving goodbye to the other two dumb struck mares.

"I was sure I could have made that last pair of tight trees." Dash was saying as the walked away.

"Babe you came in to fast and at the wrong angle..." Jayde said before they got out of earshot.

(Library)

"So do you think that if I lessen the number of spins but put in a few flashy moves I would be square?" Rainbow asked as they walked into the library and said bye to Spike who was going out to play with the crusaders.

"Mhmmm I say that shoud work, we can practise a little tomorrow if you want since you have the night shift tomorrow right?" Jayde asked leading the way up to the bathroom.

"COOL! I'll come by when I get up and we'll head out but I know your a early riser so what are you going to do?" Dash asked her as they walked into the bathroom together while Jayde grabbed the towels.

"I dont know I might go for a run or see what they have at the gym, and then work on my car a little bit before I hit the spa." Jayde said climbing into the tub with Dash and began to scrub her back.

"Hmm depending on how early I get up I might join you for that run." Dash said moaning as Jayde ran the scrub in between her wings making them stiffen.

"Sorry wasn't trying to ruffle your feathers." Jayde said gently going along her wings.

"No, it's cool I know. But that does feel pretty good though, oooooohhhhhh what are you doing back there?" She laying down as Jayde dug her hooves into the mares back.

"Rain you got a lot of knots in your back, don't you ever go to the spa or something?" She said only getting a groan from her making her stop.

"Oh Jayde don't stop please that feels sooooooo good on my back." She begged.

"You didn't answer me." Jayde stated making the other mare groan.

"I don't really like going there it just seems to girly for me." She said groaning as Jayde started to work out another knot.

''Babe you need to take care of yourself, especially after a work out. If you cramp up during a show when you become a Wonderbolt it could end very bad for all of us." She said kissing the back of the mares neck getting a shiver out of her before going back to working out the sore and knotted muscles.

"I know but when I go they always want to give me a hoofacure and HATE ponies touching my hooves." She said as Jayde used her magic to gently massage the flight muscles while Rainbow groaned.

"I understand Im the same way, the only people I let touch my hooves is my husband and Fran." She said letting the mare up and turned around as Dash began to wash her.

"So I take it you and Fran are really close?" She asked getting a sigh from Jayde feeling Dash scrub the grease and oil out of her coat.

"Yeah she was the one that has always helped with my heat and when I ever got hurt. She was also the one to be there for me when I needed some um attention when my husband was gone. But we always kept that between us and my husband, no one else knows about it well besides you now." She said as Dash rinsed her mane and made her lay on her stomach.

"Really wow she acts like Fluttershy does sometimes." She said as put pressure on the mares back feeling it give a little and getting a moan from Jayde.

"She may be a little shy but she won't let people walk over her, I saw her knock a couple of jerks out that were giving her and Rose a hard time and were harrassing them. Made me so proud." Jayde said smiling as Dash gently ran her hooves over her neck.

"Mmmm where did you learn this?" She asked as Dash smirked.

"I learned it from the spa ponies down the way, as a part time job when fall and the snow seasons come around." She said hearing another moan from Jayde.

"Well you are very good at this Rain but we better get out now before we get to soggy." Jayde said getting up and turning off the water while grabbing their towels so they could dry off. They headed back downstairs when Rainbow stopped and looked back at Jayde.

"Did we just take a bath together?" She asked as a huge blush creeped up on the two mares faces.

"Um awkward, um we should really pay more attention to stuff." Jayde said blushing.

"Well Im going to head home, I'll see you later Jayde." She said and took off while Jayde headed out to see what she could find to do.

"I'm hungrey, lets see what there is to OOF! HEY WHY DON'T YOU WATCH WERE YOUR-Oh cool a griffon."

(Two hours later)

Rainbow sighed as she looked around for her mare but could'nt find her anywhere..Again. She was just about to call for a search party when she heard laughter coming from the lake recognizing it and an unknown voice that sounded familiar and took off to her mare.

When she got there she was shocked to see a griffon she thought she had left in the past sitting next to HER mare and they were both laughing about something so she crept up close to hear and get a better look.

"No seriously me and Rebecca were so close at the start of the race but I think she had a turbo chip in her car. That was the first and only race I ever lost except for a crash I had a few years ago, I was pretty messed up, got scars to prove it." Jayde said standing on her hind legs and opening her vest to show a few deep scars on her chest.

"Going at 200 mph and taking a sharp turn never a good idea." She said zipping her vest back up and smiled at the griffon.

"Dude that's awesome! I have a few scar myself most you can't see with all the fur and feathers but." She turned and sat down showing her back near the middle of her spine.

"Got this bad boy a year ago fighting some rouge griffon soldiers and one got the jump on me, cut me from there all the way to my shoulder." She said as Jayde hissed.

"Awe man that sucks, I already showed my war wound but that's pretty intence." Jayde said wincing.

"Yeah no kidding I was in the hospital for months and had 247 stitches and stapels." She said grinning.

"So what are you gonna talk to Rain about?" Jayde said as Dash's eyes widen.

"I really messed up a few years ago and after we had a falling out and I joined the military I grew up and knew what I did was stupid. I just want to say I'm sorry for what I did to her and her friends and hope that we can be friends again." She said looking down.

"Hmm well I don't know how Rain may act but I'm sure if you explain it to her and she CALMLY LISTENS then you might get some lead way." She said flicking her eyes where the pegasus was hiding.

"But if you want you can come with me and we can go to my surprise party that Pinkie set up for me." She offered getting a smile from the griffon.

"New pony in town?"

"Something like that."

As they two left towards the town Rainbow shot into the sky and then down to them like she just found them.

"THERE YOU ARE! I've been looking everywhere for you Jay." She said looking over at the nervous griffon next to her.

"Gilda." She said with narrowed eyes as Jayde elbowed her ribs and leaned into her ear.

"Be nice Rain and give her a chance." She said and walked towards the town.

"Oh hey Jay! AJ wanted some help in her barn with something." Dash said getting a nod from the unicorn.

"Got it, hurry up babe you know Pinks will eat all the cake if you don't get there." She said trotting towards the farm.

"I'll be there in a minute." She heard Dash yell back before flashing away and trotted towards the barn.

"Hey Applejack! Rain said you needed me for something?" Jayde called out walking into the dark barn.

"SURPRISE!" She heard as a light flicked on making her blink and smile at the mares.

"Thanks Pinks for my-Welcome home and congrats on your very first fillyfriend?- how did you know me and Rain were together I never told you and we just made it offical last night!" Jayde stated.

"Pinkie sence." She said as Jayde sighed.

"Riiiigggghhhhttt, SO who's up for cake?" Jayde asked getting smiles from them as Pinkie put a party hat on the mares horn.

"Come on eveypony lets PAAARRR-TAY!" And so they did till around midnight, Dash and Gilda came in some time later and after some explaining the party was back on.

"Well girls I'm done, I'm gonna head home. I'll see you later." She said and started to leave when she heard Gilda call out to her and walked up to her.

"Hey thanks for helping me Jayde, it's because of you I have my friend and more back." She said rubbing the back of her head.

"Nah it's cool everyone deserves a second chance." She said and flashed away.

(That afternoon)

Dash sighed as she looked in on Jayde who was reading about spells before she scoffed and got up putting the pile of books back up.

"What's up Jay?"

"Dude these spells are childs play! I mean really facial hair growth, want-it-need it spell? UGH! Where's the good stuff like advanced limb regeneration or something like that! This is baby stuff. Hey wanna make out?" She said as the pegasus' busted out laughing.

"You do know that Canterlot has a huge library of spells from the beared star guy." She said.

"Meh don't feel like flying there and going through the hassel, so what'cha wanna do today Rain?" She asked heading into the kitchen.

"I don't know, want to head over to the lake for a swim?" She asked just as the door was kicked open nearly hitting Dash as Spike ran in.

"TWILIGHT!"

"In here Spike and it's Jayde, I keep telling you that." She said coming out to see he had a letter in claw.

"What's that? Mail for me?" She asked getting a nod from Spike.

"Princess Celestia sent it, says she wants you to come to the castle for a important test!" He said as Jayde shrugged.

"Ok, just let me get my gear and we can go. I guess I'll see you when I get back Rain." She said heading out the door leaving two very shocked people before they heard a squeal from the otherside of the door making them look out to see a giddy Jayde getting into her car as a bag flashed into the backseat. The two smiled and rolled their eyes before Spike went to join her.

"Later Rainbow, we should be back soon." He said as the pegasus waved at them.

"Later guys, see you when you get back!" She said as they shot into the sky blowing her mane straight back.

"Ugh seriously."

(Two hours later)

Spike paced back and forth along the front steps when Twilight came out with a bored look on her face as he scrambled to her.

"So how was the test did you pass?" He asked.

"She didn't give me one and then said we have to go to some Crystal Empire that came back, something about my brother and a king and a evil plot but whatever. Here send this to the others and have them meet me here before we head off to the whatever." She said giving him a scroll and plopped down letting out a sigh as he sent it and looked at the grumpy mare.

"Uh Jayde you ok?" He asked sitting down by her.

"No, I was expecting a test of some kind. Not a mission ugh, whatever come on let's go see how mom and pops are doing and look at the sights." She said heading into the city.

After a few hours and a few stops at some stores along with spending some time with her birth parents, her and Spike were waiting for the others as the train came in.

"Ok no reason to get off people I already got us tickets to the frozen north I hope you remembered to pack your thermal underwear." She said pushing her friends back onto the train.

"Of course darling I have a scarf for everpony here." She said as Jayde took one.

"Thanks Rares." She said walking with them back to their cabin.

"So how long is the trip gonna be?" Applejack asked.

"Probably a day or so nothing to bad." Spike said getting a nod from the others.

"Oh Spike show Rain your awesome snow gear I got you!" Jayde smiled making the dragon grin and pulled out a poofy black coat with a dark red dragon on the back.

"That's pretty cool dude but why did you get him such a puffy one for?" She asked.

"He's cold blooded Rain so he needs warmth, you remember the pond incident a few years ago. I won't let anything like that happen to him again." She said looking down remembering how he was sick for weeks before she was ever able to get his fever to break.

"Hey Twi I told you I wasn't mad at you." He said hugging the mare as she sniffed.

"I know but still, I knew that and I still let it happen." She said as he squeezed her.

"Twi we live and learn and we came out stronger and wiser for it right? Now please stop crying." He said smiling at the mare who smiled back at him.

"Thanks Spike." She said and headed out the cabin and towards the sleeping car.

"If you guys need me I'll be in the sleeper car." She said and flashed away after she got nods from the others.

After a few minutes Dash went to go and find Jayde but didn't find her in the sleeper cart so waited for a little while before she started to get worried and started to look for her. After a hour of looking all in the train she flew outside to find her mare on the top of the train sitting own in a meditating postion making her growl.

"Damnit Jayde! We've been looking everwhere for you!" Rainbow growled and went to grab her but fell through the mare completely making eye widen in shock as she turned to Dash with glowing eyes before they went back to her normal color.

"Rain? What are you doing up here?" She asked but started to worry at how pale she was looking.

"Rainbow you ok babe, your a little pale." She said as the mare shook her head and glared at her.

"Why didn't you tell us you were up here!? I've been worried sick and so has the others Jayde!" She yelled making the mare flinch.

"I'm sorry babe I wasn't meaning to be gone so long, I was visiting my family and checking on the babies." She said her ears were splayed back and she was looking down.

"Aw I'm sorry Jay, why didn't you tell us though that you were up here? I was really worried when I couldn't find you." She said holding the mare close to her.

"Im sorry Rain I didn't mean to worry you so much." She said hugging the mare back and snuggling into her warmth.

"Come on lets go inside lets the others know that your ok." She said getting a nod from her and flashed into the train making a few of the girls jump.

"JAYDE!"

After some explaining and the other mares scolded the her they went to the sleeper car to rest and get ready for bed, after everyone was ready and said goodnight Jayde layed down waiting for the others to fall asleep before she got up and headed into the next car leaving a note to anyone that saw her not in the bed.

Once she closed the door she started to calm herself and reached deep into her mind while her runes began to glow and light up the car and started to chant in another laugage.

Dash woke up since she was near the door looked up to see a bright purple light coming from under the door before it died down, she sighed and went to open the door but was stopped by Rarity who pointed to the note on the door as they heard Jayde start talking to someone.

"Rarity what's going on?" She asked.

"I dont know darling but Jayde has been gone for almost 4 hours now and left that note on the door."She said as they heard a yell from the otherside of the door that sounded like a argument going on.

"Well I'm going to look and see what's going on, if she's in trouble then I'm gonna help her." Dash said as something slammed into the door waking the others up.

"WHAT'S GOING ON!"

"WHAAA!" Thud.

"SQUEE!"

"WHAT THE HAY!"

They all looked at the door hearing the pony getting back up.

"WELL IM GOING!" Dash yelled as she was tackled by Rarity.

"NO! She doesnt want anypony in there with her just like her note said! It says right here that no matter what don't- What's going on guys?" The two looked up to see a battered and beaten Jayde with cuts all over her.

"JAYDE! What happened!?" They yelled running up to the bleeding mare who wiped some blood off her face and smiled.

"I'm good just been getting this strange feeling that something was watching us so I waited till everyone was asleep and channeled a old spell of mine and found some stallion trying to creep up on us. Tried to take me over at first but he wasn't ready for me, then he tried to get physical which is the thump you heard of him hitting the door, didnt mean to wake you guys up. I just thought it was a ghost or something." She said shrugging with a small smile as they gaped at her.

"What?" She asked and looked at Dash who was close to tears.

"Oh Rain what's wrong? I'm fine it's- Oh yeah um hold on." She said and flipped on the light making them blink and gasped at her, they could already see bruises forming and what looked like a stab wound from a horn along with many deep gashes on her.

"SWEET CELESTIA! Hold on baby I'm gonna go get a doctor or something and, and..." Rainbow couldn't finish starting break down as Jayde comforted her.

"Whoa hey calm down Rain deep breaths I'm fine really here watch." She said channeling her healing fire around her as they all watched her wounds close up with a hiss.

"See all better, I'm sorry but I had to make sure you guys were ok since he tried to get in a few times." She said as they looked back at the destroyed interior of the car while Jayde got a sheepish look on her face.

"Um I can fix this." She said as she lit her horn up and the furniture and things started to set themselves back right.

"There all better, now I'm gonna go get a bath so I can get this blood and this nasty black stuff off of me." She said walking past them while they still gapped at the room before they heard the shower started to go. Rainbow got up and headed into the shower while they all watched her go.

Jayde sighed feeling the stress started to wash away when she heard the door open and lock making her eyes snap open.

"Hello?" She asked just when the curtain was ripped back and she felt pain in her face before she felt herself pulled into a hug.

"Don't ever scare me like that Jay." She heard Rainbow say making her smile and hug her back.

"I'm sorry I should have made myself look better before I came in to see you guys." She said feeling Dash pull her into a heated kiss as she pushed her down into the tub and pulled the curtain closed.

(15 min later)

The two mares came out with Jayde laying her head on Dash's and both got into her bed and went straight to sleep.
