When I woke up I was still in the embrace of my lover. She was snoring lightly and I couldn’t help but smile. Still cute as buck. And I am getting the pony stuff down now! I just laid there and enjoyed the nice moment and I soon found myself drifting back off into slumber.

I woke up the next time right as Rainbow Dash did and I smiled. “Ready to go to Cloudsdale today?” I asked her. Here comes the yes ho my gosh!

“You bet, and I can’t wait for you to meet my mom. She will like you I am sure” Rainbow Dash said as she hopped out of bed and stretched.

I did the same and got out of bed and stretched. I felt good today, like I was going to do something that would help out in the long run….well trot I guess. Still need more work I guess, darn it! We walked out of the room and over to Strat’s. We walked in and he was sitting up in his bed looking at us with a smile.

“Hey mom and dad, are we going to Cloudsdale today?” He said before he started to bounce.

“Yep, I was thinking that we could go now if you want and that way we can get a full look of the city before we turn in tonight” I said to him with a smile. He was smiling at me and I could tell he was excited about this, maybe too excited. I know your happy, but don’t blow up from it though!

Rainbow Dash scooped him up and put him on her back and then we walked downstairs. We went outside and we soon took off towards Cloudsdale. We took it at a leisurely pace so we could enjoy the mild day. The mayor called a meeting a little while ago and said that Winter Wrap Up was coming soon and that meant springtime was almost here.

“So, does your mom know about what has been happening recently?” I asked Dash with a grin. Let me guess….no.

“No, I haven’t written to her in a while, and I am too busy to see her when I am on duty up there, but today will be the day we all see her. She is going to be surprised I know that, and it will be priceless!” Rainbow Dash said to me in reply.

“Mom, is your mom my grandma too?” Stratus asked Dash with interest.

“Yep, just like your dad’s mom is your grandma. She is going to love you I can just feel it” Rainbow Dash said with pride.

I smiled. This is how days are supposed to be, no hassles, no getting hurt, no almost dying, no bad things at all. I like it, makes me feel good! We flew for a good hour and a half before we could see the cloud city in the distance. I felt my jaw drop as I looked at it. What, I never been there before? Ugh, back to the story!

“Welcome to Cloudsdale!” Rainbow Dash said as we flew and landed in a small square in the city. I was amazed at how different it looked compared to Ponyville. The pegasus here could practically build their home wherever they wanted in the city. Hmm, I wonder if there are any places around here that overlook any of the scenery. Argh, I am going back into the home hunter mode, and this place is just for vacation and maybe some summers!

“Ok, well, let’s go see my mom first and I can tell you about my home town on the way” Rainbow Dash said as she set Stratus down on the cloud and we began walking through the streets.

“Cloudsdale is home to the very own Wonderbolts, and their stadium here is on the other side of town, but we can see that when we look for a place to find for vacation and stuff. The weather center is just where I work when I am up here, and that place is snoresville. There are a lot of places to chill out here and relax” Rainbow Dash said as she pointed to various buildings and told both me and Stratus about them.

I was happy that I decided to get a spot to get away here now; it was a very laid back city, not to mention that there is quite a few flight schools for Stratus when he gets older. I like it here; maybe this place won’t have anything that will end up biting me in the ass in some way or another! On second thought, probably not, but it is still cool here!

We walked down a street that looked a little too residential and we soon stopped out in front of this 2 floored cloud home. It had a little of the flare like RD’s home, but not anywhere near as much. “This is it, you two ready to meet my mom?” Rainbow Dash said as she turned around and smiled at us.

Stratus and I both had the same answer…..like a baws! “Yep!”

Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes and we all walked up onto the porch and she knocked on the door. I was standing there and I was feeling pretty awkward. I am meeting Rainbow Dash’s mom! What is she going to be like? Is she going to like me? Will she be upset that I am with her daughter and we already have a kid? I am going to flip out if she gets mad at us, I don’t want that!!! We waited for a few moments and then a dark blue mare with a light blue flowing mane opened the door.

“Rainbow Honey! Oh it has been forever since I last seen you! How are you doing down in Ponyville?” She said happily. Then she turned and saw me and Stratus on her daughter’s back. “Who are they Dashie?” she asked with interest.

“Mom, this is my coltfriend Kyle, long story and I will tell you about it, and our son Stratus” Rainbow Dash said proudly, I couldn’t help but smile at the word ‘coltfriend’.

“WAIT!? He is your coltfriend AND that little cute foal you have there is YOUR son!” Rainbow’s mom said to her with surprise. She then turned to me again “Nice to meet you sweetie, Kyle was it? I hope you are taking good care of my daughter?” She asked me with a smile.

Don’t blow it now Kyle, act normal! I smiled at her in return “I am, she is a lovely mare and she makes me the happiest stallion around” I said to her not realizing that that sounded completely like it was out of a love story. EWWWWWWW gross!

“Well that is great then, my name is Sunny Skies and it is so very nice to meet you” Then she looked at Stratus on Dash’s back. “Let me see my grandson. He is so cute looking!” She said to him.

Stratus smiled and walked over to her. She scooped him up and gave him a kiss on the cheek. “Hi grandma!”

“Oh you are so cute!” She said to him which got a laugh out of him. Then she turned to Dash and I again “You have a fine son, he is so sweet. Come on in, we haven’t talked in ages!” Sunny Skies said to us before walking into the living room.

Ok, so she likes me! I managed to get on her good side, which I hope is a good thing and not just a silver lining of something that is DO NOT WANT!!! We walked in and Sunny Skies was sitting in a rocking chair and she had Stratus on her lap. “You have a wonderful son Dashie, he says you are the coolest mom ever, and he’d be right” she said as she patted his head for a moment. I smiled over at RD, who was getting a little red in the cheeks. D’AWWWW!!!!

“Thanks mom, Kyle and I love him to death” She said as she looked over to me and gave me a little smile.

Double D’AWWWW!!! “Sunny Skies, we were all thinking of finding a place here in Cloudsdale to stay when we need to get away from it all and I was wondering if you knew of any nice places to get for a vacation home. It would allow you to be close to your daughter and grandson and see them more often” I said to her with a smile. Please be nice to me about it!

“Oh sure I do! There is one place a little ways down the road that is very nice looking, and it would be perfect for you three. I think the old owner said it was around 5000 bits though. I would love you all to have a place up here to be at in the summer!” Sunny Skies replied to me in a happy tone.

“Thank you and the bits are not a problem, we were going to check around later, but I guess we can just go see that place instead” I said to her with a smile. She is so nice! Geez, she feels like my second mom already! Not sure if this is ever going to be bad!

“Well Stratus, before you go check out that place, do you want to hear a quick story about your mom?” Sunny Skies said to Stratus as he sat on her lap.

“Yeah, are they funny and cool?” Stratus asked curiously.

I was getting interested as well. This is going to be good! I never heard of a story about Dashie before. I leaned in a little closer.

“Well, a long time ago, your mom was a very rebellious youngster. She was always finding ways to get into mischief, but she never was bad about it. One day she was outside with one of her friends at the park and I was watching her from a bench nearby and I saw her flying around having a great time. I am going to just skip to where it gets really good for you to keep you interested” She said as she realized that he was already losing a little interest. “Well, she was flying and she wanted to see how high she could go up into the air, and I was watching her climb higher and higher up into the air, ready to go help her if she needed it. She suddenly stopped and hovered where she was and I watched as she started to fly straight towards the ground with a lot of speed. She was going so fast that she started to get a cone around her front hooves. I watched as she broke the sound barrier and then stop flying and land a mere 5 feet off the ground” Sunny Skies said as she told the story with a smile.

“What did she do?” Stratus said as he tried to wrap his head around what she just said.

“She broke the sound barrier. It is called a sonic boom, but when she trotted over to me to tell me what she did she decided to give it her own name….the sonic rainboom. She was so proud of doing it and I was shocked that she even DID it! As of right now she is the only pegasus in Equestria that has ever done anything like that before. There, now you know a little something about your mom that is cool” Sunny Skies said to him with a smile.

“Mom, you never told me that you could do a sonic rainboom before! That is so cool! Can you show me it?” Stratus said to Dash with a look of pure wonder.

“I wanted your grandma to tell you that story, and I will show it to you when I start teaching you to fly” Dash said to him in reply happily.

Hmm, a lot less than what I was thinking it was going to be, but I still liked it anyways. I smiled and continued to listen to all of the small talk that was being passed around.

“Well, I will let you all get on your way then. I will hopefully be seeing a lot more of you all come this summer” Sunny Skies said as she set Stratus down on the floor and got up. She looked over to Rainbow Dash “Can you come help me for a moment sweety?”

“Sure” Rainbow Dash said before she walked with her mom out into the kitchen.

I couldn’t help myself as I walked over to where I could just barely make out what they were saying. I strained my ears and started to listen as the two of them were talking. I hope it is nice things and not hate directed towards me!

“Rainbow Sweetie, you have a fine stallion taking care of you. I wish your father could have been more like him with you like he is to you and Stratus” Sunny Skies said to RD.

“I know he is, and to tell you the truth, he is not originally a pony. He was a human from this place called Earth. I loved him even though he was a human and I still love him the same now” Rainbow Dash said back.

I smiled as I listened to the conversation. YAY, I am loved by everypony here! This makes my heart heavy, and my prostate weak, my bladder is full to bursting from joy! I continued to listen.

“Has he tried to take it any further yet? You know marriage or anything?” Sunny Skies said to Dash with interest.

“No, not yet. But I know that he does plan on doing it soon. I have been waiting and I have been noticing how he gets around me now, he wants to be a lot closer to the family. I already have my answer for when he does ask the question, and I am just waiting for him to be ready” Rainbow Dash said to her in reply happily.

She knows that I plan to marry her!? How!?!? I could have sworn I kept it well hidden when I was around her. I suck at keeping emotions hidden, suck suck suck! She also knows that I planned on doing it soon!? This is too much, I want to hear more. I listened in again.

“Well, you are very lucky to have such a nice and wonderful family. When he does finally decide to pop the question to you, tell him to come see me afterwards. Now you better get going, it is starting to get close to when you should be heading home to Ponyville” Sunny Skies said to Dash.

I walked over to a book shelf and pretended like I was looking at the books that were on it, and Dash came back into the room. “Ok, we can go now”

We all said our goodbyes and then we started to go get this last task done and over with. I was starting to feel tired and I could tell Stratus and RD were feeling it too. Ok, this is going to be a quick look over and then we are going home. I need my beauty sleep!

A/N: I hope you liked the chapter! I had a lot of fun writing it. I am going to be doing a 5 day time skip to when I make the decision of whether or not I am going to stay a pony. I will not be updating again till probably sometime Saturday, mostly because of some complications with other things. See you all soon!
